[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboTsi:
I have this problem about once a week. I'm pretty sure it's my pulse app, it happens when I recently opened that app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I was going to say check for a rogue app that may be opening and running on its own. I deleted Maps, Google+,etc and install when I need them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wxcolon:
Happened to me for the first time yesterday. I was at 77% and my phone froze. It was extremely hot so I pulled the battery and rebooted. It cooled down but now my battery was at 20%.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aznnightkidz:
i have the same problem use to get excellent battery life then all of a sudden phone last 7 hours i noticed on the status that the up time was 100%. it seems like it doesn't sleep anymore.please help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GeoJam3s:
Something that I have noticed is that every time I pull the battery for this problem when I restart the phone the keyboard is reverting from the Smart Keyboard Pro back to the standard Samsung keyboard. Is anyone else seeing this? Could this be related?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dreson:
It has to be an app that's killing the cpu look on the first page under my original post Hyabusa1300 (thanks) gave me the advice that worked. Figure out which app is causing the issue and uninstall it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dobie62:
hot phone

Almost always a hot phone means it is doing something in the background. Defiantly check battery stats and see what is running

I have an incredible 2 s-off and need to return it to the factory image because of hardware issues! I did a little research and found all different answers! Can some please help me out or point me in the right direction? I am not a complete noob and know a little about adb commands, but sorry for the noob question!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rehabray:
Did you by chance make a backup of your stock unrooted rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
If you are attempting to completely unroot and restore s-on, as long as you did not use the XTC-clip to obtain s-off, then this thread over at rootzwiki will work. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/1579-how-to-restore-to-stock-from-alpharevx-incredible-2-vivow-only/

This has you flash froyo firmware, which is fine (and needed to be able to temp root to restore the bootloader). After it is all done, you can upgrade back to 2.3.3(or 4) and return it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] miningman04:
Thanks man, greatly appricated, now just gotta get adb to work!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
You're welcome.

A really quick utility for ADB I have been using for quick use on Windows machines is a package ChevyNo1 put together on droidforums.net

All you have to do is unzip and run it per the instructions. Takes 10 seconds. Then you just drop any files you want to push into the folder where you extracted it and then issue the push command.

This will help you only if you are on Windows, though which is the one people usually have the most difficulty with getting it set up.

I should mention also that there is a bunch of other stuff on that page that is Motorola related, as he is primarily a Moto developer, but the ADB part is universal.

I like to create auto playlist on Zune desktop say for top 100 songs on my HD these synch great play counts are updated and then sync back to HD.however when I synch phone play counts are not pulled form phone so the counts are always wrong so my list are always wrong since I rarely play songs on desktop.im only the only one with this issue is there a way to clear the cache on phone

Why
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Gah, that was painful to read! If it weren't for your flag and your profile photo, I'd assume English was your fourth language or so. You'll get more help if you communicate the problem clearly...

What I *think* you were trying to say:

You like to create auto-playlists based on "Number of times played" in your music collection. You used to create these using the Zune desktop software, even though you don't play the music on PC, because the Zune HD would sync the play counts. However, WP7 doesn't sync the play counts back to the PC, so you're not able to to build accurate lists if you do all your listening on the phone.

OK so far?

Then I think you ask a rhetorical question (whether you're the only one with the problem), followed by asking how to "clear the cache" on your phone. OK...

So, what cache? If you just mean your music library, yes, that's easy to clear using Zune (Phone -> Music -> select all -> Delete).

If you mean your phone's Recently Played list, then I don't know how to clear that. It may require registy editing, which isn't yet possible on the Lumias.

If you mean the current playlist on the phone, just order the phone to start playing anything else (use "Add to Now Playing" if you want to keep the currently list, or just "Play" if you don't).

If you mean export the phone's play count for each song (which is not even remotely a cache, but seems to be what you were after earlier), then I don't know if the the phone even tracks this - much less where it's stored - so sadly, no. If it doesn't automatically sync this info the way the Zune HD did, you might need to find a new way to build playlists.

Have you tried Smart DJ? You can do it using either the phone or the PC, and I find it to generally be a high-quality auto-playlist. The phone will only build one an hour or so long at a time, but you can easily create a new one - even from the same starting song/album/artist, if you want - and keep going.

If none of that helps you, you're just going to need to communicate what you're looking for to us better.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwajr:
Thanks I use smart DJ love it.i like to have my top 100 songs and it updates it based on play counts

Cache was referring to would be the temp files on the phone the area where it saves what your doing like play counts and internet data thought maybe a file was corrupted and if I could clear it,it would reset my play data
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Ah... there are many such caches on the phone, but the only one I know how to clear without requiring app capabilities that we can't get on the Lumia is the IE cache.

You could also hard-reset the phone. That's probably overkill, but it would definitely clear any bad data. Unfortunately, I wouldn't really expect the phone to be as good at music as a dedicated media device like the Zune HD; until Mango came out you couldn't even build Smart DJ playlists on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lifear:
I use a very similar technic to sync my Database. On Zune Desktop, i have created a Autoplaylist. This Playlist sync alls Songs (sorted by Album), that not played before, it excludes Songs which i dont like (broken heart symbol) or from some Genre, since i share the Music Database with my Wive. This works fine. Every song played on the Phone, will be deleted from the Phone with next sync and new Songs are transfered to Phone. I have limited the Playlist to X-minutes length, so the Phone has enough free space after sync.

So i think, the Playcount and last played timestamp will be transfered back from Phone to ZuneStore.sdf on the Desktop.
[Galaxy S II General] slkdk:
Hi all.

Just a simple question I guess:

How does the SGSII know when it is docked in a compatible car dock? (Auto start Car Home, etc..?)

Does the car dock have a magnet what does the trick?

I have made my own car dock for my SGSII. And it would be really nice if it automatically started Car Home when docked.

Best regards
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
a certain resistance level on the connectin.. different resistence lets it sense car dock vs. home dock. etc. etc.
[Galaxy S II General] slkdk:
Could you please explain?

Resistance level on the connection?

People are talking about magnets here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/j35p0/is_there_a_car_dock_for_the_sgsii/
[Galaxy S II General] Tonesav:
lol if it was a magnet the magntometre would not work.

The car dock has a resistor in the power connector it only docks when plugged in even if the power is not connected to the dock.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II General] Tehpriest:
IIRC the resistor is pinned to pin 1 of the USB and to ground. If you look over on the Galaxy I9000 forum there is a post somewhere there on it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thyrus:
250 views - no responses from the nexus owners?

anyhow, just realised LIGHT sensor works in daylight (at least from 10 to 160 lux). However, still no cookie on the proximity sensor - can anyone confirm or deny please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mklass:
My prox sensor works just fine. Not really had chance to check the light sensor as Ive only just bought the phone and had it set to full brightness. Ill post back shortly..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stea1thmode:
mine seems to be functioning fine here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thyrus:
Right then i can confirm the light sensor works in mine too in daylight

Proximity sensor not though... anyone else?! this is really strange
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Both work on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rokfor2000:
Mine is OK as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss42:
Mine seems fine for both
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SweetPAIN225:
Both work perfectly on mine! For the proximity sensor, try it during a call! It might be trivial but just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtrawise:
AndroSensor says both work but auto brightness (auto dullness?) is useless and I triggered a keypad press while on a call...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thyrus:
see - thats exactly the point. The sensor does NOT work (on mine)

Proximity Sensor - will switch display off to avoid the keypress or other issues while on call when you are holding it to your face(ear). And re-enable display when moved away from the face

Autobrigh: measures ambient light and then adjusts brightness accordingly

you may have both confused?

check with AndroSensor:

proximity sensor - cover it with your hand (next to the front camera) and the values should change in AndroSensor - but they dont. neither does the display switch off during calls when detecting your face (actually just detecting "no light")

I will return my GN. I had enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtrawise:
The light sensor works according to AndroSensor but auto brightness simply dims the screen to a useless level. Likewise proximity sensor works (values are either 0 or 2 inches) but whilst the screen does indeed dim during calls key presses are still possible infuriatingly. Software fix would cure both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ziggiesandvik:
Light sensor works fine.

Proximity sensor does not work. I think it stopped working after the volume fix OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abcba:
For my device, the proximity value changes fine however the screen doesn't turn on off when answering and ending a call. hv to lock the screen and unlock the screen manually to prevent mistouch..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
Just tested and the screen turns off just fine for me on a call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bacardee:
I know this topic is kind of old, but I'm still having the proximity issue, do you think I should return my nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
Mine doesn't work either, since 4.02 I think. Are there any settings that should be enabled for it to work like gprs or location services or is the proximity service always running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
Could this not be a ROM issue? My proxy isn't working properly since AOKP14 a
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martan1981:
Both sensors working as expected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
*possible fix*

*POSSIBLE FIX*

Having only got this problem more recently I may have a different problem to others who may have a completley defective bit of hardware.

However my proximity sensor is now working as it should:

Thinking it may have been the ROM/KERNEL I did a CWM restore to Stock 4.0.1. The problem still persisted (where it used to work when I originally got the phone).

The next thing I could think of that was reasonably significant I had done recently was flash a new radio. So although I was clutching at straws I went to flash back to XXKK6 as I had recently flashed XXKL1. On reboot I realised recovery-from-reboot.p was restored when I restored 4.0.1 so CWM failed to load at boot. I rebooted, reflashed CWM recovery in the app, rebooted normally, tested the sensor in 'phone tester' and it worked!

God knows if/how the boot/recovery flash affected the sensor or if its just a bizzare fluke/coincidence. Just thought I'd share the process I went though just incase it could help anyone else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
Somethings def wrong with the sensors. This is the issue I'm constantly having. When I take my phone away from my face to make an entry into the keypad, the screen goes off as soon as my fingers come close to the screen. I am not covering the sensors in anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KayvinM:
For me the proximity sensor is working fine. Although I don't think the light sensor is. It will adjust the brightness upwards but will not dim back down after. I have to lock and unlock the screen for it to dim. Kinda think of it this only started after the volume fix update (which I'm still currently on)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chameleon131:
Resurrecting this thread slightly, I hope that's ok.

I'm considering getting the Galaxy Nexus, I'm currently on the Droid Incredible. I'm curious about the low light performance of the light sensor, if it's any better than my Dinc.

The best I think I can hope for is to get the raw readings from you guys, to see if it has more points of precision than my Dinc, and any insight you can offer about how it functions in low light.

Using AndroSensor or CM's auto-brightness mini-app in the settings shows that with the most recent CM nightlies, my Dinc has 10 points of data in the light sensor. For those interested, it registers:

10

160

225

320

640

1280

2600

5800

8000

10240

The real question

I'd really appreciate it if someone could post the Galaxy Nexus' raw readings for me. Just open up AndroSensor and tell me what it says under "Light:" in terms of lux. You'll have to use a flashlight, or another phone's backlight, or move your device toward and away from a lamp, in order to get the value to change so you can get the full range of values.

Thank you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opensourcefan:
I too am now dealing with this issue. All worked well before and can't say exactly when it stopped working. I know it was working on AOKP 14 but now on Milestone 3 it's not and may not be related. I have tried all kinds of kernels which didn't fix it, tried to flash a couple radios which didn't fix it. Using Andro Sensor it goes to 0.0" when I put my hand over but it doesn't come back to 2.0" until I restart the app. In a call the screen will go off but come back on. Not sure what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opensourcefan:
Can anyone say what specifically controls the P sensor? It gets voltage and from all the apps that I have used to try and determine if it's working they shows that it does something, it's just very erratic. Kernels, ROMs, Radios.. don't know what else to try.

EDIT: If anyone else finds this thread as is having the same P sensor issues a new Bootloader fixed it for me. Link -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1483417
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ref1ux:
Another here with a broken proximity sensor. It started after I flashed the AOKP milestone 3 and it still doesn't work with the Apex ROM.

I've tried flashing the bootloader as above, but that hasn't fixed the problem. The screen does not switch off in-call and AndroSensor can't detect any change in the sensor either :(

EDIT: So flashing Codename Android 1.3.3 seems to have fixed it... how strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
when i receive a call, the screen turns off, light sensor is fine too. never had an issue with either.

I put a flash light on my Galaxy Nexus and the highest number I saw was around 32,000. I had the flash light pretty close to the sensor. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] test03:
My light sensor works fine but my proximity sensor stopped working after 4.0.4 OTA (stock rom).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danyjad:
Proximity sensor stopped working for me and it's either because I flashed latest MoDaCo with latest stable franco kernel or that I had the screen replaced. Screens looks OEM but I'm not sure. It's under a 12-month warranty but I doubt the sensor is broken.

Proximity Sensor Finder tells me it's always covered. Anything I should try?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thenamesian:
my proximity sensor does not work either. randomly, out of the blue. no readings in AndroSensor (constantly at 2.0") and the screen stays on continuously during calls.

it is very annoying since my face keeps hitting the end call button! mine stopped working totally randomly (did not flash anything and never have flashed anything) i'm on stock 4.0.4 with unlocked bootloader and that's it.

there should be a setting for the P sensor. am i under warranty if it's defective?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arse1692:
Light sensor not working or a system issue?

hey guys i noticed a couple of days ago that my auto brightness is not working as it used to i.e. it doesnt change at all....i figured that this might be a system software issue so i tried a couple of auto brightness apps and one of them worked for like half a day and now even that wont change the brightness at all...now im worried that there is a problem with my ambient light sensor!!! can someone please help me with this??!! thanks!!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] STi489:
I realize the cpu is not as fast as samsungs...but shouldnt the dual core run atleast as smooth as single core vibrant? My gs2 arrived today buy seems abit choppy compared to my Vibrant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Surfacet:
Nope but more smoother than your vibrant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i think the OP is up in smokes :p

this phone is faster that any of the old Hummingbird based phones (i9000, vibrant, Nexus S, captivate, etc)

just remove all the Tmo crapware then it'll be butter smooth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krooked22:
It can be a bit choppy or of the box but I found it good

Flash juggernaut and bullet kernel if you would like to get the most out of your phone right note. It Is a very smooth experience

Bullet really solved most of the.choppiness for me atleast

You will not be disappointed

That is my opinion but many will call it fact
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dan.follett:
It does get way smoother when debloated, but some of the choppiness won't quite go away. I think there's something going on in the drivers or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
The dual core processor in our GS2 is definitely faster and more efficient than the Vibrant's Hummingbird processor. I'm surprised that you said the Vibrant feels faster and smoother than our phone. Is the Vibrant rooted? A stock Vibrant can never feel no where near as fast and smooth as this phone especially with the stock RFS file system Samsung used to use back then on the first set of Galaxy S devices.

The issue with our device is the lack of proper optimization with the software for our processor so you'll notice occasional lag bit nothing as bad as RFS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
OuncE718 that's an excellent point

compare apple to apple, and not apple to pears ;)

the stock Galaxy S family is slow as molasses, but once rooted and with a good polished custom ROM it's as fast as a SGS2

the SGS2-T989 stock is way faster than anything i've ever seen before coming out of the box from the manufacturer

i was not happy with the out of the box experience of i9000, vibrant, captiave, Nexus S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
It has its moments when stock. But its much faster than both my vibrant and g2x IMHO.
