Can u PLEASE put "SOLVED" in beginning of thread title ;)

I KNOW others are wondering how to fix this and would make it easier to find solution :D

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] dodge_408:
Not a problem I'm sure a few of us would find it useful
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Ash thanks for the file. Today was my first day off since you offered to give me the file via drop box. I am still pretty new at this and did not have a drop box myself. However this morning I found that you already posted the file. I have downloaded the serrvice dock apk file and I am going back to eclipse right now to give it a try. Thanks Again for the help!!
[Motorola Droid X2] lhkjohn:
Can't replace or delete the dock apk in system/app with the older version. Says its a read only file and cannot be changed. Any ideas?

[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Use root explorer. Hit the mount r/w and turn it into r/o then you can. You will also need to change the permissions after you install it.

[X] [X][ ]

[X] [ ] [ ]

[X] [ ] [ ]

Check these boxes to get permissions right.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
thanks. I missed that question.

this is 100% correct.

other file explorers can work too(root browser is another)

but I swear by root explorer.that little gray box at top to change to mount r/w makes life so easy.

I bought root explorer a long time ago and am glad I did. its really the only file explorer u will ever need.

to be able make ANY changes to files in /system it needs to be mounted as r/w.

and no need to mount r/o afterwards since the reboot u need to do to get it working will remount as r/o anyways.

Thanks man! Worked like a charm

And before you ask, yes, my one year old has a wp7 device and can use it to some extent. He dropped it off of the balcony at a hotel we're at and it landed flat on the concrete below missing the pool by mere inches. Thusfar, I see no scratches on the device and the only discernible fault from a second story fall is a looser power button that is still perfectly functional. I was scared to drop test mine, so it's cool to know it can take a beating.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Sounds like its fairly durable. Thats good. Wonder how it would have fared had it gone into the pool.........I SAID, I wonder how it would have fared had it gone into the pool :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Won't be testing that... Not on purpose anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
Thats pretty good, probably fared off much better than if the 1 year old being drop tested from the same place.

how did he manage to toss something from two stories up, without you stopping him ?

more importantly, how did you manage to see how it landed if you weren't close enough to prevent the toss ?

i don't care what you let your kids play with, expense is relative. today's $800 phone is tomorrows paperweight with them being released so fast. our kids play with iPhones and G1's all the time.

or the G4 laptop hooked up to a 20" mac monitor in the other room. a few years ago that was $3 large. today, it's a craiglist hard to sell item !
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:

[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I've bought like 15 devices in the past 2 years, I'm not saying whether he does or doesn't have the devices, but it isn't out of the ordinary if he does. A lot of developers, Schapman for one, post some crazy things and you guys don't ask for pictures lol. Give him a break dude. I've never understood the whole "pics or it didn't happen" theory. It's a forum, whether he does or doesn't makes no difference, his post is positive and doesn't hurt anybody.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypkilla:
current setup:

bionix-V 1.3.1

Bali-X 1.2GHZ

KB5 modem

this ROM and kernel are freshly flashed after odining back to JFD. phone currently runs smooth. no problems. havent done anything else.

problem is i NEEEED a 4 tab lock screen. and im having trouble understanding all the KB1/KB5/ deodexed stuff.

my baseband version is KB5 (since flashing KB5 modem) but my ROM is still based on KB1? see, i dont really know what this means or have any idea what im talking about there...

but i know that this mod requires "KB5" and when i flash it, my phone freezes during the install.

now this is expected. someone else in the thread had the same issue bionix-v 1.3.1 and they were told to "make sure" their rom is compatible (cuz bionix-v 1.3.1 is not)

i dont know how to "make sure". And i could just flash another rom that someone else has used with that mod, or i could use a rom that comes with a 4 tab lock screen like Toxic Crazy8... but i am particular about a few other things:

- i really like the speed of bionix-v 1.3.1

- i like the gingerbread theme with bionix-v 1.3.1 and the launcher (im not using the version that comes w/ touchwiz)

- i like the option to overclock (which is why i changed kernels from the one that comes with bionix-v 1.3.1)

- i definitely need BLN support (which is another reason im changed to Bali-X 1.2GHz)

- i did not like Toxic Crazy8 or any of their themes for it and for some reason my cpu would not drop below 800MHz. i also did not like using CM7, found it slow for some reason.

so how can i have the things i like AND have a 4 tab lockscreen?

ps- i sure wouldnt mind using the new ice cream sandwich theme or something with a lot of blue :cool:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
You flashed back to stock giving you eclair 2.1, this rom/addon is froyo. check your firmware under settings, about phone, are you eclair or froyo? whitehawx has a deodexed 2.2 kb5 stock rom in the dev setion.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypkilla:
i have 2.2 (froyo) becuz i have bionix. but nothing said anything about KB5 until i flashed the KB5 modem. and of course nothing says anything about deodexed

i'd hate to have to load a stock ROM with all the bloat and no fancy tweaks or themes or anything...

could i still use a kernel like bali-x? (i guess i can ask that question over in that thread...)

it seems that a number of mods and themes and whatnot require a deodexed ROM but i dont see many mentions of deodexing in the descriptions of the popular ROMs...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
I believe whitehawkx lockscreen addon was for biwinning. bionix is a team whiskey pre deodexed build. check the ops I may be wrong but if you want the lockscreens, bi winning is a good build.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypkilla:
cool, im gonna check that one out. thanx

Update: OMG greatest ROM ever! thank you so much for the recommendation! i was getting so tired of playing around with different ROMs but i hadnt tried this one yet. EVERYTHING i want

A bummer for those waiting for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-updates-Galaxy-Nexus-specs-may-have-killed-32GB-model_id23911

In some ways, makes sense. The 16 GB version will be $299 on contract. Would that make the 32 GB version $399 on contract? That's a hefty price point that I can't imaging selling well.

Not that I'm happy about the lack of choices though. Going with Verizon is starting to sound like a mistake.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan_Brutal:
Sorry if this has been covered before, but I searched up and down XDA and google for a solution. Here is the deal; Im trying to root my phone and Im having some issues. Im getting unknown user root in Terminal when I try to run the commands from this thread.I have both versions of Visionary and I believe I have temp rooted the phone. This is where it starts to get strange. Superuser.apk is installed, but Im never prompted for SU permissions. The only app that requested it was Visionary when I tried the permaroot option. Also, I got the system to be r/w via visionary, so I tried to delete some bloat. I used root explorer to do so. But the apks I deleted are still in the app drawer, and after reboot, are still in system/app. Im really super confused by all of this, and hope you guys can give me a hand. This is a little bit different then rooting my vibrant lol.

yes

yes

and I tried with setcpu, no root was detected.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Try another version of Visionary+, because the current version doesn't root you.

Make sure that you are indeed on 2.2.1, because if you're on 2.3.4 - Visionary can't root at all.

I had the same problem last week when trying to root my replacement phone after downgrading it to 2.2.1. The visionary app that I used before didn't work this time. I had to download it again and this time it worked. Before deleting the current visionary app make sure to clear it's data prior to uninstalling it then reboot the phone then try again. That worked for me!

Since you've already tried rooting it with so many methods, I'll suggest you restore the phone to factory settings and start over.

Wow, this nexus is thirsty! Charged it twice today already and now charging again! I was expecting it to be bad but not this bad!

This I'm my first android phone so any tips to increase battery life will be greatly appreciated. I have turned off nfc and also all 3 location/GPS options but didn't change much. I also downloaded a application to kill running tasks etc.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stuu.f:
Hey.

Turn off background data and automatic account sync. Should save alot on power!

Personally, i wouldnt use a task killer. As ICS already has a task manager integrated.

Hope this works.

This post slightly worries me. On the Evo, I spent half the freaking memory trying to keep my battery alive for more than 5 hours.

Future updates on battery life are truly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Your task killer might be the problem. Also, make wallpaper black amd anything else you can as this is oled tech.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andorreta:
Maybe you have wifi, bluetooth or your phone is doing lots of downloads. Try to put your phone into 2g + Data= off if you don't use the data, for me it helps a lot :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
Background data sync ate up a lot of my battery. Apps such as Facebook, twitter, weather apps, weather widgets all typically perform some sort of background sync. You have to go in and disable them.

Avoid task killers, android is usually good enough at managing mutitask.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikosrs4:
1. turn dual mode GSM/WCDMA off

2. choose one mode only, preferable is GSM

3. uninstall task killer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I hate when people say this kind of stuff. Having WiFi and Bluetooth on, but not utilizing them, does virtually nothing to your battery. Anytime I'm in my car (80 minutes a day, just for the drive to and from work) my phone is connected via bluetooth *AND* WiFi to my car. At work, I have it connected to WiFi at least 80% of the day (sometimes I use 3G for various reasons). It barely makes a dent in my battery.

If you have WiFi and Bluetooth on but you're not actively using it (and you have it set to not be scanning for new signals all the time), it won't do much to your battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
Lower screen brightness levels to a comfortable level.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
You're right with your points but probably the op doesn't know how to deactivate wifi scanning he already mentioned that it is his first Android phone.

@op could you probably use your phone like you did before and don't mess around to "improve" the battery life. After a couple of hours take some detailed screenshots of the battery settings menu. It's very important that we can see how long your phone was awake, how long the screen was on, wifi etc on or not. Give us as much information possible. Otherwise we're not able to help you. In addition keep in mind that your battery needs some time until it reaches it's full potential.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrTechie:
Firstly - Ignore all the comments suggesting to switch something on or off and to use other Apps.

I got my GN 20 mins after the London Launch and im easily getting 27 hours on a full charge with lots of background data on.

Let your battery fully drain a couple of times then fully charge it.

Also be sure to check in your battery settings (Settings > Battery) to make sure there isnt a particular app thats killing your battery.

Also see if there are lots of open apps in the recent App button, close any that arnt needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richmelchr:
Only fully drain and charge your battery for calibration purposes. It is not a Nickel-cadmium battery and this is not good for it. I have found that charging it at a lower voltage through USB (my PC or Xbox, not USB connected to wall outlet) will give me more juice throughout the day. I haven't done any tests and cannot confirm these results, it is just a believe between my friends.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
1) get rid of that damn task killer.

2) turn off wifi and bluetooth if you're not using them.

3) GPS isn't a big deal, but turn it off if you know never going to use it (you can leave on assisted cell tower GPS).

4) turn your brightness down or use auto-brightness.

Just use it for a few days. because its your first phone you're probably using it a TON. Life will get better once the "newness" wears off and you get into a normal usage pattern.

Do this, and if your battery is still crappy in a few days then look into other options. Don't go installing weird battery saving apps or anything right off the bat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Well, sort of. The first few charges should be full charges (because the initial calibration of the battery sensor takes a few good full charges). Basically, all the way to dead and back up again.

Then do that once per month. Aside from that one time per month, just keep it charged any time you can. Plug it in at every opportunity. When I'm at work at least 80% of the time I have my phone in a dock on my desk. My battery life was 99% on my Atrix 4G when I gave it to my dad 3 weeks ago. My battery life on my iPhone 4 was 97% when I sold it after buying the Atrix.

Heck, my previous Macbook Pro was 2 years old and the battery life was listed as 94%. Lithium Ion batteries are fantastic, if you handle them correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiteHartMart:
As others have said there's no need for the Task Killer. Just adjust settings to make sure certain apps aren't pulling data too frequently.

My battery stats show 19 hours use with 28% left, with wifi active but set to sleep never when plugged in', phone was used a fair bit during the day also. Its never going to be amazing but IMO its more than acceptable :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
just hope it lasts 24 hours with light use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
My top two tips is, go into fb app and enter settings, set it to NEVER update automatically, any time you ooen the app it will still update and it takes a sec or two.

Nr2 is dont use task killers, it will only work your device harder, keep killing tasks that then has to restart from scratch over and over and over again.

Edit, also, if using like weatherbug widget, set that to only update every 4 hours or so, weather dont change thaat much in a day.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
Thanks for tips! Have uninstalled app killer and amended a few settings, no option to turn off Facebook auto update. I have a widget on homepage with share prices etc scrolling across screen, set to update hourly. This doesn't even appear on battery screen so I presume its not using hardly any battery?

I have virus protection program also installed, do I really need this and is it heavy on battery also?

Maybe a plain wallpaper will be better than a active one too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Bleah! I hate this, because I don't sync Facebook and anything else.

Knowing how slow Facebook team for Android, we are screwed. This will drain battery for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The stock widget probably won't show up as a specific program under battery use. It'll just show up as Android OS or get grouped in with something. But updating every hour won't use much battery at all (depends on how much data its pulling down, probably not that much).

Virus protection apps do use battery and really aren't necessary, especially if you're smart about getting apps from the market and aren't downloading/sideloading shady apps

Live wallpapers DO drain battery. Quite a lot. Go to static wallpaper if you want to prolong battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chris95X8:
No need to worry. You must discharge the battery completely and charge it fully at least 4 to 5 times. It's just the first "living" days of the battery.
