So I have been reading and trying to learn the advantages of a rooted photon. I just recently completed the one click root method. I have superuser access and basically have nothing to do with it.. And then I came across this "3-4" days on 1 battery? I would love to know what steps were taken to achieve this. Do I need a specific kernel or rom? Im simply rooted nothing else. Can u help?
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Wrong forum. This is the atrix2 community.other than being made by Motorola our phones have nothing in common.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
Any one using this app MegaMall Story with max building of 15 floors. I play this game for an hour and my battery drops to 65% hehehe.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Iggys Pop:
I use my phone constantly; be it playing mp3's, texting, making phone calls, checking XDA and various forums, google-ing various topics throughout the work day, a good 12+ hours and when I get home I've never been below 40%..even with EXTREME useage. I'm rooted (and now running a very basic custom rom recently released from the dev forum-its so close to stock it doesn't make a difference) but I haven't used any bloat kill apps nor have I uninstalled any of the "bloatware"... With that said I should note I work at a cell phone kiosk and I get the "Why is my battery so crappy!?!" question all the time. Basically I've narrowed it down to to reasons, one their screen brightness is maxed out all the time, needlessly I might add. Your screen's brightness level has many different pre-set settings, I personally use a widget (there are many available on the market and some phones have em pre-installed) that you can toggle through the afore mentioned brightness levels. I keep mine set to the lowest brightness level because I'm mostly indoors, however when outdoors, especially in sunlight it gets difficult to see w/ the lower brightness setting so I turn it up accordingly. This helps tremendously with conserving my battery. Finally, many people I've encountered didn't condition their battery properly when they first got their phone... Basically the process of allowing your phone to die completely before putting on the charger the first time, then once its on the charger that first time, allowing the phone to charge 100% (ie. 4+ hours). Not following the afore mentioned battery conditioning procedure has been known to "zap" a battery's overall life and endurance. I hope this long winded post helps...as I said, I sell phones so my usage level is extreme most days because I like to showcase muh phone and I've got plenty of battery left at the end of the day... Good luck!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dndeals:
Wow.. too much crown.. thanks for reply
[Motorola Atrix 2] devsk:
Uninstall all the bloatware.

Install droidwall and configure it. You will be surprised how many packets get sent without your knowledge.

Keep brightness at Auto level, works correctly most of the time.

Keep wifi/gps/bluetooth off if not needed.

Don't keep the phone connected to charger all the time. This is VERY important. Drain the battery close to end (I stop at around 10%) once in a while.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
NO do NOT remove bloatware. If you do you WILL have serious issues. Use a bloat freezer program to freeze the bloatware. This is covered in the noob thread which is stickied in this section

Jim
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Everything else noted is good advice though.

Jim
[Motorola Atrix 2] devsk:
I removed most of ATT bloat without any issues. And then, I froze some. Overall, I haven't lost any functionality yet.

But your point is taken. There are some pieces which can't be removed, only frozen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You will no longer get ota updates. The dev updates we have been seeing require 99% of the bloat to still be in /system/app directory, they are also doing some other checks during the udates, if any checks fail the update does not install. That is why we have all been ONLY freezing all the bloatware.

Just something to think about.

Now with us building ROMs that might not be important, who knows what future updates we may not be able to include those ROMs.

Jim
[Motorola Atrix 2] bimmerd00d:
Let's be honest, if you cared about OTA updates you wouldn't be on xda now would you?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Well, some people that are on here, still want the updates to fix issues that they might be having. Let's face it, as a Dev, I can't fix the issues with just a ROM. Without the OTA updates and or source code, I really can't do much to help. I promise that EVERYONE on here hates all the issues that exist in any phones software, and they await a fix for whatever issue that maybe currently in the build they are on, most of them beg for the fixes, and sometimes WE can fix them and other times we can't, without someone getting the update.

I still have my stock build unchanged as far as the "bloatware" is concerned, I have only frozen the "bloat" apps. I want the next "major" update, so that I can then make a ROM out of it for everyone here, with the fixes included in it. I use safestrap and run my "custom" ROM off my SDcard, and "dual" boot them, so that I can do all this for everyone here. As stated in the noob thread, it is not a wise choice to remove those "bloatware" apps, but instead freeze them, which is what this was all about to begin with.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Under the gpl aren't they supposed to release the source code?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes and they will. Under the GPL for android, they (manufactures) do not have to release the current build, they are only obligated to release source for the last build that was released, within a certain period of time from release. If they were to release ICS tomorrow for our phone, then they will most likely release the build we are currently on in Source, within, usually 90 or so days.

Google on the other hand MUST release source for the current release of "android" itself within 10 or so days of release, so that the devs and manufactures can do their thing.

This is Motorola though, so add three years to that time line.... JK.... LOL...

Jim
[Motorola Atrix 2] Iggys Pop:
Thanks for that info Jim! I was wondering about that myself... Good to know!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Iggys Pop:
As you can see it just ticked to 49%. I can't remember if it shows up or not but I used the mobile hotspot for about 20 minutes. Played 2 games for 30+ minutes a piece... Great battery life!
[HTC EVO 3D] YoMaMa7467:
Is the micro usb a part of the MAIN board of the 3d as in is it part of the board that has the chip for the internal memory such as hboot and ROM? I'm asking because in going to have to send my phone in and I've been assured o will get the same phone back but I'm not sure if i will be getting the same mobo with my hboot and ROM. It's not sprint I'm sending it to but some radioshack insurance thing so I'm not sure if they will check hboot for a broken micro usb. I looked in the T&C but there was no mention of rooting as voiding the insurance.

I am pretty sure it is part of the main board. I had mine apart to due a custom charge unit with the palm touchstone and battery cover (which by the way is a PITA). I cannot answer the rest of your question though.

**Ok so I solved it, you need to do the vol- power thing. But I always kept pushing vol + right away when the white letters came up. I didn't do that this time and the wipe option came up!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
when you go into apx mode, it's normal for the screen to stay black. until you execute the nvflash command...in which case (iirc) the screen should display something.

make sure you're following the instructions to the letter.

Sorry my usb port is broken. I was just testing if anything would happen in APX. When it came out it had an option to wipe or something about linux. I had never seen that so I held down the power. I need to get back to that screen to do the wipe but I can't.

Still can't get it back

Hi,

It seems to be the only thread about this matter here. I'm new here, but I swear I tried to find any other problem like mine.

I also looked it up on other websites and blogs. I even tried to unbrick my Transformer, even though I'd done nothing that could brick it.

The thing is: I got that same screen asking me for a password that I have never set up. I tried the "vol- power" thing to wipe the data and nothing changed. My attempt to unbrick the tablet was also pointless.

I am kind of desperate right now. My Transformer was bought by some relative in the US last year - meaning I have no way to complain about it on the store. And I have never done anything that was not official in it. Someday, somehow it simply stopped working. At first was that black screen, but a ~7 seconds power button did the job.

Now I've got this really annoying password asking. It's giving me nightmares.

Please help. Please.

Thank you.

password screen

i am also stuck at this password screen when i didnt not set any password for my transformer. i had started it up in the am no problem and then it froze around noon and then when i rebooted it, it came to this password screen, and nothing works, I have talked to the guys over at transformer forums and they said that i should try to go in it through my computer but my computer doesnt seem to recognize it either. I dont know what to do and i feel like i have a 500 dollar paper weight...can anyone help? its a tf101 32 g asus transformer
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hd2brick:
Got an odin error while trying to flash, phone hangs at the brick screen with the phone and computer with the caution symbol

Methods I've tried

3 button combo

Don't think this works on my device

Jig method

Actually built my own jig, with the resistors and the cut open micro usb data cable, this takes me to the same screen as described above

Any other ideas? Links?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Sounds like you're not bricked. When the phone is plugged in via USB does ODIN recognize it? If so, you just need to flash a good ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hd2brick:
Yeah odin sees the phone and then, Holy crap you were right, only wish I knew before I busted out and made this jig

Thank you so much

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voidlogik:
I am looking to return my xperia play and need to know where i can find the stock at&t R800at firmware that came with the phone originally. I have since purchasing it put the R800a firmware on it (Generic North American) and since i am within my 30 days i would like to return it but want to flash it back to stock so to prevent any lash back from an at&t rep.

If you have any info on this subject i would be very grateful. My at&t Xperia Play is running the generic N.A. 2.3.3 firmware which i have gingerbreaked but still have the bootloader locked.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carellano:
Good luck! The R800AT users are the very minority in this place and no one seems interested or cares to make a ftf of the R800AT. Just look at a couple people requesting the ftf a week ago.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Trying to get CWM installed (to eventually get CM7 installed) on my friend's Captivate running stock 2.1-update1 to no avail. We have it rooted, we have ROM manager installed, but no matter what I do when it comes to flashing a recovery, it does not work. When I go to flash the update.zip, it says file is not found because it doesn't seem to be downloading anything at all. Any help?

EDIT: I think I got it, might have just been selecting the wrong option.....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
If it doesn't work then try this. This will work. Btw rom manager does not play nice with captivates. I would not suggest it.

Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?ve234hbg64ctcu0

Then follow these instructions.

step 4: Install clockwork recovery.

1. Go to the download folder and rename clockworkrecovery.zip to update.zip. Mount your phone and drag the update.zip file into the root directory. It is ok to overwrite the update.zip you used before. When it is done copying turn off your phone.

2. Unplug your phone and hold down both volume buttons and the power button until a strange menu with blue items pops up. This is called the recovery menu.

3. Scroll using the volume buttons to the menu item titled "reinstall packages" and press the power button to select. (you may have to do this twice to get it to work)

4. Your phone should restart and you should be at a green menu.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
yeah we got it to work but thank you so very much for your instructions. My friend is basically amazed at the speed and flexibility of CM7 over that Eclair bloated it piece of garbage the stock rom is.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanFrancisco:
Wow... This Worked in July 2013

I pulled an old Captivate from the drawer that has Android 2.1-update (Eclair) on it and could not for the life of me recall how to get CWM Recovery so I can start installing some later ROMS.

The method you provided worked. Downloaded that file, put it into the phone's internal memory, root directory, changed name to update.zip, got into Samsung recovery, and on the SECOND try it installed CWM recovery.

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nespid:
I have cwm 6.0.3.6 installed. CWM website says 2.0.5.2 (or something close to that) is only available recovery.

How did I end up with 6.0.3.6? And should I flash 2.x.x.x?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pguillory08:
yep, it's true. The new at&t GS2 "skyrocket" will rock a snapdragon which can beat beaten with a 1.2 ghz exynos.

and if you have it oc'd to 1.6ghz like i do.... then you know the rest. lol

plus, if you're worrying about LTE, the GS2 get's 21mbps up as well as the "skyrocket". so really, if you want a bigger screen with less power, get the new one.

I'll keep my GS2 and try out the HTC Vivid as well for the camera.

now i'm trying to see what ROM i want on here. i seen a lot of ppl going with CM7.

any thoughts guys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vl221:
Where do you live that gets 21 MBPS on HSPA?

The fastest I ever got was 5MBPS and that was in an AT&T store. Everywhere else is only 1-3MBPS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuwayman:
I too would like to know about 21mbps. Also I saw you said you can't post links but you work for at&t. What exactly did you read our have documentation of that has the specs of the skyrocket? Does the document have all the specs of the phone? Some people are saying things like it has 1.3 ram instead of 1. Are you able to clarify some of these speculations and tell us what exactly this phone is supposed to have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
Well, since the Exynos only comes in 1.2Ghz and 1.4Ghz we know for sure it's not that.

My bad, I meant capable of getting 21mbps.

But yeah, if you wanna pay a restocking fee of $35 for the phone plus an extra $80, and a weaker pro lessor. Do it. Just saying. My gs2 on 1.4-1.6ghz is awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pguillory08:
Yeah. I'm new on here so I can't post links yet it's 1gb of ram. Even the nexus isn't exynos.

I know from experiences with this my PS3 controllers that some devices will not charge unless used with a smart charger. If the device does not detect a smart charger or will not allow a current to pass through. had this problem when trying to use wall charger for PS3 controllers. This may be it but doubtful. Another thing that may be happeneing is that the chargers you have are not new new and as such dont give a snug fit. Just my 2 cents
[LG Optimus 2x] darksilk:
Hi guys, im new doing this so dont blame so hard, lol. I dont like how the stock looks like so i decided to do my own theme and i want to share.

I made this based on Topogigis v2.0 SP3 framework, but should work on any other v20. If somebody try on other ROM please tell me.

Screenshots

What's on this?

- Clock resized and center.

- Date resized.

- Roboto font.

- Gingerbread boot animation.

- No Music buttons on notifications area.

- Repositioned notifications icons -> Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, Sound & Rotate (Stock theme is Sound, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS & Rotate) I always pressed Sound instead Wi-Fi, thats why i change them xD.

- Notification icons bachground changed.

- Icons on Status Bar changed.

- Battery indicator style Gingerbread with %.

- "3g/Edge no connection" and "Line 1" icons were made invisible (Cuz' i dont like it and i prefer a minimalistic style)

- Status bar while you are in call is black all the time, not green as usual.

- Left notifications moved from 6dip to 2dip, is a minor change but I like more so.

Bugs:

- This is not a bug, but kinda. When you have more than 6 icons on status bar, it gets in front of clock =P.

Installation:

- Just flash in CWM.
