[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feioso:
95% of the time, 3G connection is OFF. I use Wi-fi connections, because I have many hotspots for it...

I don't have many APPs and the ones that I have installed (non-stock apps), dont run in background.

Today, I turned off wi-fi, and only turned on when need, and for more than 2 hours, only losted 1% of battery (have takken photos, and made phone calls only).

After this I used wi-fi for 20 minutes, and losted 8% off battery. So I think, Wi-fi is the problem. Please correct me if im wrong:

- If I have wi-fi always on, phone is always searching for wi-fi connections, even when sleeping, so battery drains much faster.

As you can see on the screenshot, with no wi-fi, for a little bit more than 2hours, only 1% of battery losted
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
Well you answered your question. Wifi is the problem. If it searches for wifi networks all of the time the battery will surely drain.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juxtapose519:
Definitely Wifi. It absolutely murders my battery when I forget to turn it off when I'm not using it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feioso:
Yes... for shure... its crazy like hell... lol... half an hour playing... half an hour surfing (youtube for my son... i put videos for him, once in a while)... and wi-fi drained more battery than gamming (FIFA 2010, Angry Birds, Spider-Man... also my son played)... funny thing, he has 20 months old, and love Xplay, more than me...

So... the hole day, I kept wi-fi turned off, and only turn it on, when needed... more than 12h latter, still have 62% off battery... and for the first time, will not charge this night... :D

Was so simple, as turning wi-fi off... check the screens...

Thanks all that helped :D

I just installed my cruise to android, but when I install/move the application to SD, it say fail to move and the SD card is automatically ejected, and then it can't read the SD card any more, and I have to manually eject my SD card from my slot, then insert back into it.

I have tried different roms, but all giving me the same problem. Anyone have any idea?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
Hey, last night I managed to install cyanogenmod 7.1 on my GT-I9000M. The purpose of this was to root the phone, so that I could SIM unlock it. I ran the free unlocker app by helroz, and it didn't make any complaints, so assume it worked.

As you'd know, the GT-I9000M variant is from Canada, but I live in Australia (Bought it off a friend). I tried putting my SIM card into it, and it does tell me my carrier (Telstra), but the reception bars remain greyed out, with a little x up the top.

When I try make voice calls, it says "Mobile network not available".

Does this mean the phone is still SIM locked, or could I be doing something else wrong? Is there a way to check if it's still SIM locked?

I have taken a few screenshots that may help:

You need to flash KG3 modem.

Here's the link to the post by [Ramad] with modem for i9000m.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
Hi, thanks for the reply :)

I'm trying to do that now, through Odin. I put the .tar.md5 file into Phone, and went to flash it, but it failed. It seems odd that the file has 2 extensions, is there something i need to do to it first? (Most modem files I've seen have been .bin files?)

EDIT: Nevermind, managed to get it to flash. However, now the phone won't pick up my carrier at all, and baseband version is Unknown?

Regards,

Dan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] McDown:
Maybe try to flash it in recovery mode?

Here's one for CWM.

Bell i9000m by default is 850 or 1900mhz , try to change it to 900 or 1800.

Dial *#2263# and in GSM menu choose either of em.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
Dialing *#2263# doesn't seem to do anything :(

I've installed the new modem you linked me, it still says "Telstra", however still no reception apparently (I know I do get reception in this room, and the baseband version seems to be the same)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] scull2011:
Same thing happened to me I had used the wrong version of cwm to install the rom. All I did is reinstall with the cwm that the rom had installed itself and everything worked fine .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
I just tried reinstalling cyanogenmod from it's own CWM, but still have the same issue.

Just looking at the phone now, it seems the signal strength is always on -111dBm and 1asu, doesn't change.

Regards,

Dan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scull2011:
Sorry the sane fix didnt work for you .I moved to darkysrom myself because of so many missing features in cyanogennod like the tv out feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
Yea, I'm wondering whether the radio hardware itself might be broken. It always shows no service with this SIM, no matter which modem version I use, which firmware etc. Signal strength always shows -111dBm 1asu and that's about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Flash a GB firmware with pit and repartition, I think that you need to do that when flashing back from CM firmwares, then see if the device functions properly.

Check if the IMEI-number is not changed, if it's not changed and the device still can't detect the SIM-card then try executing on Terminal Manager (from Market) or using ADB (su and busybox must be installed on your device):

If the device detects the SIM-card but the device gets no reception then flash a modem that supports a different band, UGKG3 for I9000M supports 850MHz and the modems for I9000 supports 900MHz out of the box.

The idea is to try to narrow the problem down to 1 point, you need to know which modem you need and you also need to know that your device is not defect, doing that using CM is not the proper way, use stock firmware to avoid possible bugs in CM, and you don't need to flash to Froyo in order to flash CM, you can do it from GB by flashing a Kernel with CWM support and you are good to go.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
Hi, thanks for the detailed reply.

I've just flashed back to the stock GB 2.3.3 firmware, however I'm having trouble figuring out how to install su?

With the stock firmware, it doesn't even tell me my carrier anymore, and just says "No service".

Regards,

Dan
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawke213x:
I was wondering if there is a way to determine what kernel is on the phone? Like a way to check it...? I know I can check the kernel version...would that be how to determine? I must sound dumb...wow...lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born2BeMild:
Your phone info screen should show it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawke213x:
I thought so. I had an HTC 8925 before this, so the Android world is all new to me. I know basic things and have already successfully flashed two phones with custom ROMs as well as flashed my own captivate back to stock. My brother also gave me his old Motorola Droid and I use it as a way of learning as well. I know the hardware on both is different but it's still a good way of learning I feel. I even helped a friend root and flash Cyanogen onto his HTC Inspire. He recently went back to stock without the bloatware...which reminds me. Does a ROM of the stock without bloatware exist for the Captivate? I've searched but haven't had much luck...

Also, forgot to mention I had Myn's warm donut on that HTC. It ran well enough but the battery issues were never worked out for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reamer09:
Pinnacle is a great ROM. Its pretty close to stock, really smooth, really good battery life, and not a lot of flashy stuff, just really reliable. No bloatware at all... except it isn't being developed on anymore. There's one called Illumination (not the exact name but its close enough you'll find it) and it looks good and is being developed still. Its actually based off of Pinnacle too. I don't have any personal experience with it though.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reamer09:
No problem, I'm glad it's working well for you. I have so much stuff installed on this ROM I'm probably not flashing anything till something truly official drops (if ever).

Is there an app that notifies you in the task bar when 4G is available?....kind of like how you can be notified now with the phone when there are available wifi networks.

I don't ever leave 4G on because I figured it would drain the battery but it would be nice to be notified when I'm out if it was available wherever I am.

Leave your 4g on and it will automatically connect when it detects a signal. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
I suppose it would be possible for an app to use GPS to notify you when you are in an area that is known to have 4G coverage. That would drain the battery though, so you would be better off just leaving the 4G turned on.

Get the "Got Clear?" app. Just load it and if you're in the green area you have 4G.

Hello everyone! I know this might be a bit too much to ask. The PSS120 is a small boombox that philips made a few years back. It works great, but the problem is that in order to transfer any music to it, it has to be done using Jukebox, which is an ancient program that was Philip's media player back in the day. Is there any way that someone could mod the software so that music can be transferred using WMP (or just drag and drop)?

This is complete bs, Bugless Pete is one of the best developers out there and doesn't deserve this. All the information the mod wants is in the thread...not to mention the title, his github, and website which btw you don't have to register to use. It's kinda ironic considering the thread the mod links to in his signature which proclaims such things as "XDA IS a place to come to learn and share your knowledge. If you are not here for those reasons then you are here for the wrong ones." "XDA is a developers site" "XDA is and always will be about the developers." ...just like Rem3Dy said...might as well tell the best devs to go elsewhere.

I also checked two or three other ROM threads and they either don't have a change log listed or else a baseband listed. If you're going to lock threads at least be consistent. Seems like a witch hunt.

edit: The more I look into this the more upsetting it is. I see at least 2 threads in development that don't even deal with the ROM development, just discussion about them. Shouldn't they be in general discussion? Hell CyanogenMod doesn't even list a baseband. /rant

Ya its outrageous. The xda is all but ruined by the people they have apparently picked out of a hat for mods instead of people that really SHOULD be mods. Rootzwiki or android central isn't far from taking over and the mods have themselves to blame.

There you go Mods, there is 5 ROM's in violation of terms. LOCK em down until they fix them.

On a serious note... Where is the consistency amongst the community. This really appears like headhunting. Someone (moderator) needs to explain all of this. All of these ROM's listed are backed by incredible developers and followed my many fans. My intention was not to call out these developers for not following said terms, but to show the inconsistency of moderation.

Well it's easy for us to say how to run a forum. I help administrate one, it's not easy to get unity between the staff when they have other jobs and a life to run. My heart goes out to those who donate their time for no pay.

My suggestion however is to ask the OP/dev to fix it before locking it down unless the offense is an immediate threat or harmful to the members of your forum.

Again though, easy for me to say, I am not an admin here but **** does roll up hill too. ;)
