They say that they are in the process of planning the ICS OS Update for the LG Optimus 2X as well as other LG High-End smartphones. I would like to assume that we are included in that high-end smartphone area.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] camineroga:
Lest hope
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
The only difference is the radios. There's nothing particularly sacrosanct about "official" ROMs as opposed to dev-created ones, and with an ICS O2X ROM devs can use the drivers on the G2X. That possible lack of driver support was the only thing that was ever stopping ICS on the G2X in the first place.

any ideas

Guessing no one knows what i might be talking about then, any ideas would be helpful guys...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
OK the -2 just means there was already an app there when it updated. If you uninstall the app and reinstall it then it will be a -1 app again. From your first post it looks like you have alot of apps on your SD card? What calss is your SD card? Have you tried starting from scratch and reunstalling the apps from the market one by one to see it one app is causing the issue? From the statement about computing I would try a greasy start all together. Full wipe and reinstall the rom. Then your apps one by one. Will it be long? Yeah but its then only way to slim it down and find the issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billy_87:
thanks

Thabks zelendel, that really helped, strange that its happening, only some of the apps are giving e this problem, i just unistalled all the -2 and have reinstalled them, ill keep u updated if the problem goes away, im sure its cuz of the -2 s the app stalls and multiple reboots are needed to get them working again...whereas factory reset goes, oh boy thats gona be a long one, lets see how this one goes, ill keep u updated, and thanks again for all the help...

Hi! I wanted to know if you guys have a problem with the battery life on SwiftDroid RC5. I have a poor battery life and therefore big battery problems.
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
i had mine and bought a new batt no probs after that
[GT540 Optimus General] hmskrecik:
Yes, I do. Since RC4 and RC5 I have very poor battery life. Before it was enough to charge once every other day, now I have to do it daily.

Actually after installing RC5 it was a disaster as battery didn't keep even 24 hours but after recalibration it's better. But even then during the course of the day while doing basically nothing (say, sending and receiving 3 or 4 sms) it goes down from 99% to 40%.

Edit: I should mention that I overclocked to 800MHz, but I used to do it before RC4.
[GT540 Optimus General] fdespotovski:
Same here. I'm moving on Cyanogenmod 6.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
yeah swiftdroid is a real battery drainer but

on swiftdroid on average my battery lasted 2 days..

but still i use cyan6!! ;)

good in battery and performance!! ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] mathew500:
Same here. Experiencing battery problems on SwiftDroid aswell. Like mentioned above the battery drains even when doing nothing. Experience this on basically any mod built on SwifDroid ofcourse. Changed to EleganceSwift, waiting for mike to release AOSP with Bluetooth-free radio ;-)
[GT540 Optimus General] hmskrecik:
There's something more to it.

Recently I was playing a bit with my phone, installed couple of applications and then suddenly I realized that battery doesn't drain as fast as it used to. One thing I noted is that for example Videos application doesn't reside in memory anymore. I'm not saying this one was the sole battery hog but I'm starting to suspect that those cases of battery going down very fast may be related to some misbehaving app or apps and not necessarily be Gingerbread's fault.

If that's the case, the solution would be, I imagine, to trim system preferences to have such apps killed fast not to let them stay active.
[GT540 Optimus General] crystalic:
using ASIS atm, but when I was using RC5 I didn't notice much faster draining. Still, it depends how many apps are running on your device and did you overclock it? I used to have min 250MHz, max 600MHz and it was pretty fine with texting, multiple apps running and music. Now with min 825MHz/max 825MHz it's draining faster ofc
[GT540 Optimus General] Arturoboy:
Well,I remember a day when i update to SwiftDroid RC5, the batter drains and there isnt any app running in background after that i changed to a another rom.

btw fdespotovski, Multiverse is my favorite rom, in fact, i wrote on the offcial blog ;) but i have problems with the RC3, statusbar sound widget doesnt work properly :( for now im on RC2
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:

[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:

[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Project Utopia
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
i had good battery life with Utopia! ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] hmskrecik:
I'm not using ASIS, still at RC5, and what I reported is that both RC5 and RC4 drain battery much faster than earlier versions. Assuming ASIS is just cosmetic change to RC5 it doesn't surprise me you didn't notice any difference. ;) And again, I do overclock to 800MHz and I do it since M5 if memory serves me well. I know principles of overclocking and I know, and accept, drawbacks that come with it. But when at the same clock RC3 can live two days or more while sometimes RC5 barely manages only one then I suspect something is not right.

I tried to check which applications are responsible for battery drain but system report is not helping when telling that 98% took Android system, 2% cell standby and 2% phone idle.
[GT540 Optimus General] hmskrecik:
Sorry for necroposting but I didn't want to litter forum with new thread and the problem itself hasn't go away.

I'm still using SwiftDroid v2.0 RC5 and until recently I still had problem of battery barely keeping one day: whole night on the charger and after moderate to no use during the day on the evening it was almost drained.

Recently I installed one more application (rather unrelated, I'd need really solid proof that CPU Spy directly improves energy usage) and after that the battery easily keeps for two days. Which brings back the theory I have that the short battery life is not necessarily caused by Android itself but by some applications staying in memory and not sleeping properly. If so, installing extra app may help just for this reason that it having higher priority will swap out those misbehaving ones.

Thus I propose little hunt, if anyone's interested. I'd like to stay focused on v2.0 RC5 (maybe RC4/ASIS if you believe the difference is not too big). I need reported both GOOD and BAD battery life. In either case please write down all apps currently in memory (you can skip those you have installed, I'm mostly interested in what comes from ROM). And don't forget to mention which actual version do you use and whether it's good or bad case. ;)

Given some meaningful data I hope to isolate which apps cause excessive battery drainage. I'm not sure what to do with that information next but I think it would be good start anyway.

To make said start, here's what I have:

SwiftDroid 2.0 RC5 / GOOD battery

- DSP Manager

- Usage Timelines Free

- Doit.im

- K-9 Mail

- Auto Memory Manager

- Superuser

- Settings

- TM World Clock

- Go launcher EX (doesn't report itself as staying in memory but I suppose it has to be running somewhere)

[GT540 Optimus General] mgkilla:
Guys help please, I have a battery/charging problem after installing RC5, this is my first ever custom ROM, it worked great yesterday, but after charging it over night I'm stuck at 99% it won't go up nor down, the phone won't charge and it won't even connect to PC via USB :( I tried turning it off completely and then plugged in the charger but it just booted up (is it supposed to do that this is my first android?) and that was it. Everything else works fine, wifi etc.... Is there a way to fix this ? I can't transfer a new custom rom to the sd when it won't connect to the PC :(
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
the battery stuck at 99 % is a often coming bug and i don't know any solutions mine goes to 97 % ...

ehen phone is shut down and you plug the charger its normal that its booting(because of fastboot)

connection to pc should work, try another port re-install the drivers
[GT540 Optimus General] riku-dark:
thanks :D...............
[GT540 Optimus General] darkorudar:
I also have a battery problem... i have installed this ROM 3 days ago, and now i can't charge my battery over 45-55%. Phone was charging all night long, and batter lasted for a day and a half, but its annoying... btw, what now, do I delete battstats now at 55%, when i can not charge phone to 100%? :)
[GT540 Optimus General] hmskrecik:
Guys, this is not what I asked for.

I repeat, I have reasons to believe that at least in some cases the short battery life is caused by some in-ROM apps and I try to find them. But I need data.

So if you're using SwiftDroid 2.0 RC4/RC5/ASIS, please post here, or PM me if you prefer, list of the apps currently running in RAM of your phone plus note whether now you're experiencing good or bad battery life (let's say the bad is one day or less, good is two days or more, when in doubt just state how long and let me decide ;) ).

Following the articles here: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011/09/27/manually-update-the-samsung-omnia-7-firmware-to-mango/

I updated the firmware on my phone in an attempt to resolve the Bluetooth issues I was having but nothing I have done has resolved it so I've now arranged to get my phone sent in for repair as it's still under warranty.

I'm worried however that they may refuse to repair it because I've flashed the firmware and would like to flash it back to the firmware it had before.

In the guide above, I did choose option B to create a backup. Can I run this tool again and tell it to do a restore from the backup or do I have to do something else?

Thanks for any advice or help you can offer.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkymark75:
OK, so I ran WPUpdate again and performed a restore. It seems to have restored my phone back to how it was prior to me doing the firmware upgrade yesterday, however I can't be 100% sure.

How can i check? My MobileOp was 000-88 yesterday, after flashing this had changed to SFR-FR. If it's changed back to 000-88 then I'm sure it has reset but I'm not sure how you find out the MobileOp value.

[Galaxy S II General] nlohani:
Lately I have been flashing alot custom ROMs on my Galaxy S2. Many near perfect ROMs I had to change as I found that I was unable to get my FB events update on my device.

I tried to google to find a solution and I found that many are facing this issue but no solution. Finally, after analysing different ROMs that I flashed I found the reason.

One common thing I noticed in the ROMs that were missing this important feature was that the SOCIAL HUB was missing in those roms. And YES you guessed it right, that is the solution!

So this is what you need to do:

-Install / Flash the missing SOCIAL HUB application on your chosen ROM

-Run it, add accounts (FB, LinkedIN,...etc)

-Select to Sync all (contacts, events,..etc)

And you get the events update in your pocket as you wished :D

Here is the link where you can find the package that worked for me (Thanks 89luca89 for putting this on your ROM's thread ;))

SamsungApps(Hubs,Readers,SamsungMarket) --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220283

Note : You need to flash this ZIP the way you flash a ROM through CWM.

Just put it on Memory Card, go in CWM and flash it.

luca also advices to just wipe Cache/Dalvik cache before boot!

Hope this was helpful for some, and if it was..you know which button to press :D

i am trying to update my Galaxy S2, and i am having problems....

it seems to download the update, then asks to reboot in the usual fashion, when phone comes back on i get the message "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software )Kies) or visit a samsung service centre"

When i plug my phone into my PC and connect it to Kies i get the following message "This version of the device cannot be updated"

"Current firmware version : PDA:KE1 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (XEU)"

Here are the details of my phone (from About Phone)

I have never done any sort of rooting, installing custom roms or anything to my phone. Although it is a refurb handset as my original handset broke.

Can anyone help me with this? I dont know why my phone says there is an update available, downloads it, then tells me to connect my phone to Kies then when I do that Kies says "this version of the device cannot be updated".

I had exactly the same problem with the same version numbers after I sent my phone away for repair, for some reason they flashed it with mismatching versions (it was sent away by phones4u to anovo who did this) - you need to flash XXKDJ if you are confident enough to use Odin (which is dead easy) then you will be able to update using the handset or Kies again. If you dont want to flash yourself you'll have to take it into a service centre.

Also, I cant get it to work on the form activated, only on a button click.

This approach is rather more brutal. It will get rid of it, but you won't see it again until you do a soft restart!

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace TestDevApp
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
[DllImport("COREDLL.DLL", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
[DllImport("COREDLL.DLL", SetLastError = true)]
static extern bool DestroyWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
IntPtr hWndSipButton = FindWindow("MS_SIPBUTTON", "MS_SIPBUTTON");
if (hWndSipButton != null)
DestroyWindow(hWndSipButton);
}
}
}
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wubbledoos:
Hi stephj,

That works perfectly, but like you say it is a bit brutal, is there no way of rebuilding the button on application exit without having to do a device reset?

Or instead of destroying the button just make it invisible or make it so that when the user selects it it just doesn't pop up the keyboard?

It's so much that I dont want the button there, it's more a case of i dont want the user to be able to use it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
Looks like it is a bit of pain to do in .NET, as we do not have much control over the Command Bar, when it is created.

In Win32 C++ it is no problem, as we can hijack the code that responds to the WM_CREATE message, which actually creates the Command Bar

SHCMBF_HIDESIPBUTTON works a treat.

case WM_CREATE:
SHMENUBARINFO mbi;

memset(&mbi, 0, sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO));
mbi.cbSize = sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO);
mbi.hwndParent = hWnd;
mbi.nToolBarId = IDR_MENU;
mbi.hInstRes = g_hInst;
mbi.dwFlags = SHCMBF_HIDESIPBUTTON;

if (!SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi))
{
g_hWndMenuBar = NULL;
}
else
{
g_hWndMenuBar = mbi.hwndMB;
}

// Initialize the shell activate info structure
memset(&s_sai, 0, sizeof (s_sai));
s_sai.cbSize = sizeof (s_sai);
break;

Still trying a few things out, but don't hold your breath.

So Android Police had reported they were speaking with Sprint techs for the last few weeks and were being told upgrades are happening and we will start seeing improvements coming Oct. 31st. Of course everyone was doubting that and thought it was just more BS from Sprint.

Well low and behold Android Police starting to run speed checks after the 31st and are seeing huge improvements. Figured I would give it a shot this morning, not expecting much and ran a speed test on 3G. I have been getting about 50kbps average for the past few months and was expecting to see the same. Well I be darned, my SGS2 is testing over 1Mbps over 3g! Holy Cow!!!!!!!!! After running about 10 tests it never dropped below 800kpbs.

This is great news! I am in the Raleigh/Durham NC area. Let's here if your 3G speeds have improved and where you are located. I believe NYC is seeing some great improvements as well.......Here is to happy 3G'ing!

I check in on Sprint every now and then and the towers just aren't on. I haven't checked again yet, but, I can't even get calls through to my friends on Sprint right now...texts barely make it out and are frequently delivered anywhere from late to very late.
