Something I am missing..

Hey,

Really nice effort and packaging! :) Appreciate that.

I downloaded the (newly uploaded ) zip file.

I flashed it from Streakmod recovery menu ( using choose zip to flash - menu )

and - what happened was:

1. It restarted 3-4 times ( like in a loop ) - without the boot animation.

2. Did a battery pullout- and restart.

Now- the bootanimation (Avengers) played in Potrait - ( with black thick stripes on top and bottom ).

3. The theme did not get applied ( selected Mattedblues )

Phone's a bit laggy now.

___

Did a Nandroid restore

___

Tried to do again. same result- but the BIOS animation was also in potrait- and it was running out of the edges on display.

I am sure, I am doing something not right.

Could someone please - explain the process of flashing / or point at something I am not doing right?

Thanks a ton!

Sony.

P.S. Using - Longhorn ROM 2.6 ( awesome ROM too! )

Oh- after flashing - Somehow I feel sometimes I get a lag!

I did a Nandroid restore- So- that should undo anything wrong done in flashing the theme zip file, right?

(slightly confused)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] besony:
What's going wrong?

I flashed this installer again-

on DSC 1.0 -

I only get the Boot animation.

The theme is still as was before ( Zeam Launcher )

and dialer is also still as was before ( Go Contacts Ex )

Please help with this! :(

Thanks,

Sony.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stothex:
Hey Guys,

i'm using the newest Matr1x Kernel, v11.0, CFS

and NSCollab 1.0.60 with my Nexus S.

CPU govenor is Lazy, i/o sheduler is deadline. Deep Idle is on.

Min CPU is 100 MHz, Max is 800 MHz, standard voltage.

13 h of usage, 8 % battery left. How can i improve?

I wouldn't consider my usage of the phone as heavy, screen is off quite often, especially at work. At work i'm writing some texts, browse a little bit on facebook, write some **** on whatsapp. Phone ist mostly off, i mostly respond to messages i get.

After work i browse some, play some games (Zenonia at the moment :D), download something on wifi etc. Not too much in my opinion. Still battery quite sucks.

So my questions are:

1. Why is my battery life that bad? Phone is 1 week old, so battery shouldnt be broken...

2. I would like to know, if anyone can tell me about voltages? I would like to reduce voltages, but i'm a nooby and don't want to "test" it, cause i don't want to break the phone :D

Can anyone tell me, how much i can reduce arm voltage/int voltage? I'm speaking of my 100 MHz/800Mhz setting, it's still quite fast and i want better battery life, i think reducing voltages could help.

I'm open to any suggestion about getting a better battery life :p at best i would like the nexus to live 2 day without charges, with medium usage, if that is even possible.

cheers
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irizwan:
All you can do is TEST there is NO one size fits all

but generally you can go about -25 across the board .. someone with more knowledge than me can correct me if i'm wrong =]

i get +26 hours easily on moderate to heavy use but my roms don't last for more than 10 hours
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stothex:
Thanks for your answer.

Does anyone else have any idea about the quite bad battery life?

I forgot to mention that i use Go Launcher Ex with a Touchwiz 4 Theme and the Go Keyboard, but i don't think they suck up all the energy :/

pisses me off quite a bit, 26h+ with moderate to heavy usage would be a dream!

Like it's now i need to charge it every day, and on weekend twice, once before i go, and over night (well while i sleep, doesnt need to be night ;)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
come on , be happy with what you have

i even have to use 2 batteries if in heave use !

try set display on auto-change or medium brilliantness

peronally , i think display is taking away more juice besides CPU...

kill GPS BT 2G/3G WIFI when you don't need them , specially GPS

and if you are not in hurry , use 2G data connection instead of 3G, because 3G took double even trouble juice then 2G

also , maybe some applications running at high CPU usage background , but i think this is highly unlikely

forgot to mention , also kill NFC
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stothex:
Hey, Thanks for you answer.

I forgot to mention.

Wifi and GPS are off, only turning it on if i need it(and that's rare). NFC is always off, i don't need it. Brightness is off auto-change and instead on the lowest value i can chose in the settings (still bright enough)

I'm checking RAM and CPU usage from time to time, so there shouldn't be the problem. Well i have 3g on all the time, but still, even then shouldn't i be able to get 20h+ or so?

What i also forgot to mention, i've the SLCD, the i9023 version. I know it has higher battery usage because of the display, but well, i think 13h is a bit low.

@polobunny: thanks, i will look into it ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranyan:
When i got my phone, the battery sucked. But after a week or so after some battery cycles it got better. So i advice you just to wait.

I don't use auto brightness, No auto sync but i have data always tuned on. I am able to get 10-20 hours with moderate usage.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
no really ,my phone is i9023 as well , by the way , it's Super Clear LCD , SLCD is other thing of SONY.

SA screen only saves power when it is on dark color such as black , grey etc, when it is on white color , it takes juices same as(even more ? don't know for sure) Super Clear LCD , this has no different ,also you may noticed that default wall paper of Nexus S is dark color , that's why

back the time when i was using stock , i could easy hang on a day , but ever since i change to MIUI and brought second battery ... i have to use second battery on MIUI if my usage is same as the time i was using stock

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

about 3G ,

i have some power saver like applications , which have function of estimated work time

it shows , at this moment , 59% battery = 3G internet 1 hour and 39 minutes ,

other one shows 2 hours and 12 minutes

there may be some variants but ... you know , 59% power only last about 2 hours of 3G ...

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

you should have try stock first , because in my opinion , stock has longest battery life

i haven't used NSCollab , so i can't say anything about it ...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stothex:
I used stock for the first week, it wasn't better imho, atleast that's what my feeling says :p didn't look at the actual times i lasts with stock :O

but feels better with nscollab

About the display, thought SLCD was short for Super Clear LCD, well atleast you got what i meant ;)

I thought about power saving apps too, wouldn't be bad if phone does only 2g if the screen is off etc, but first i wanted to get a good rom/kernel and settings :D

i think i will try ICS stock rom if its out, look if that gets me a better battery life, or then flash around till i'm satisfied :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGuy:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could give me a semi-technical reason as to why you can't open multiple documents natively with the transformer. Natively, it's impossible open up document1.doc and then have document2.doc open at the same time and quickly switch between the 2 documents without having to manually find and reopen the other file.

At first, I thought it was something like the same application couldn't have 2 instances open at once as an OS limitation. However, it IS possible to have the same application with 2 different documents open at once but not without using multiple file managers (theres a vid on transformerforums demonstrating that if you open different files with the same app, but via different file managers, you can switch between multiple docs)

So why isn't it possible just to have 2 instances of the same application opened with different files without having to do multiple file explorer work around?

Also, do you think this will be/is without the work around in ICS?

Thanks in advanced:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
I don't think there is anything in Android that limits you to only a single document open at a time.. I think rather it is simply a limitation of the app you're using. If the developer had created a tabbed workspace or some other method of navigating through multiple documents opened simultaneously, it should work even with Honeycomb or Gingerbread. There's no reason to think that simply updating to Ice Cream Sandwich will add this feature to the app as it exists.. the developer will need to add in this functionality.

Have you tried a different app for viewing/editing your documents?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGuy:
That's true, problem would be solved with tabbed browsing. Can you suggest a decent office style suite that supports tabbed browsing?

However, it's not possible to open multiple instances of pretty much any apps from what I can tell - that seems to be a limitation of the operating system does it not? But at the same time, it's not an OS limitation, because it is possible using multiple explorers to do a work around to have multiple instances open, but not without an impractical work around.

I find it strange that when I use the explorer to open a word document in any other app, it still appears on the "multi-task" bit as the explorer application. If I load the explorer app again (say to navigate to a different file) it closes the document I opened.

Thanks in advanced:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaros_Kill:
You say explorer like ur talking about windows lol. Kinda confusing to picture exactly what ur doing, but i think i get it. As far as i know, there arent any word processing apps for android which allow multiple documents to be open side by side. Id bet its NOT an android limitation, as multiple internet browser tabs fit under the same concept(sorta) and probably take up much more memory than multiple text documents. its just an idea that i assume hasnt been ijmplemented yet. Id email the devs of whichever word processing app you use and ask them if its something theyd be interested in adding to their app. The only workaround i can think of for the time being, is to use two or more different word processing apps (for example polaris and quickoffice) simultaneously, and use the task switcher to go back and forth.

Just re-read ur post and saw you mentioned this...

I guess that would be another work around, if it really works. that seems almost like a bug to me lol. Just wondering though, how would you switch between the documents if they are open in the same app? Would the task switcher show two instances of the same app open?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGuy:
Okay, maybe not a "limitation" of the OS, more a "feature" where if you try and open the same application when its' already in the "recent items" it just restores the previous one from previous items rather than opening a new instance simultaneously.

Yeah, it's true, try it. If you have multiple file explorers (e.g. ES explorer and file manager) go into ES explorer, open up document1.doc in DocumentToGo (for example) and then open up file manager and open document2.doc in DocumentsToGo. It seems android opens DTG within the explorer/manager, so if you switch between the 2 different managers using the recent items, you can see DocumentsToGo open twice, once with doc1 and once with doc2. (I can't take credit for this btw, I made a similar request as to if its possible to open 2 docs at once on transformerforums and someone made a video showing that work around - I would post a link, but despite being a member/lurker here for over 5 years, I still can't be trusted)

I may just have to try and put my CS degree to some use and try make a tabbed word processor.

Thanks for the responses:)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bigbrother69:
I'm searching this function since long time and I just cant' find this function like I would find it.

I would have a function which permit us to skip song with a long press on a volume button and may be return on the previous song with another button pressed.

Well, for the moment, on ROM like 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 V5 by pfonk, there is no perfect solution :

> buy some apk like player pro which need to wake the screen to skip the song

> test all apks called "next track, and co." of the market

> keep a custo'rom with some parts of cyanogen in it (I tested a lot but for daily use, there is always something that goes wrong with me)

I just found some subject on it:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] acceleratum:
on stock it also worked.. if the rom your using is not based on cyanogen or not stock then ask the developer of it to fix?

I mean if you tried players with that option and still doesnt work then something is missing in the rom to make it work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
2.1.1.Clean.0.0 has all the standard music-related stuff ripped out, player, library, service provider etc. But all can be downloaded from post #2 in it's thread and easily restored.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bigbrother69:
Well I'm sorry but I test right now on 2.1.1.C.0.0 Official, not the pfonk version....and the official player doesn't respond when I press a long time on volume button... Like I remembered.

But For sure, it could work with playerpro which give this possibility.

The problem with these players is that they don't propose the possibility to skip song with screen off:

you must reactivate it with a little press before a long press to skip song.....

and unfortunaly when you do that, the screen stay on during few seconds.

In this time, the screen respond in my pocket and press "next" on the lockscreen widget (which is necessary to ake work the "skip when volume button pressed".

So... I look for:

a player pretty light which is capable to skip songs thanks to volume button, without reactivate the screen..

or may be a module which could work on official or Clean version of official rom.

Any ideas ?

This file can't be ported or help to my problem ?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bigbrother69:
Well Well Well, it works pretty well, I test it with UberMusic and even if it's a little special when the user wants increase the volume, it's already better than the playerpro's option.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersonjacob54:
So I have a T-Mobile G2 and the 4g plan. I was wondering what type of data speeds everyone is getting. I've been averaging around 2-3 mbps (highest was 6mbps down).

I'm concerned because this is not 4g speeds (they should be 14 mpbs+ easily). My friend has a Verizon 4G LTE phone and he consistently averages 20+ mbps in the same area.

Also, I am using MIUI rom which may not support 4g so this could cause problems if my results are indeed low and others are getting higher data speeds.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepyE:
all depends on the area your in. in riverside county, ca i average about 13 mbps
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersonjacob54:
I'm living near UCLA/Westwood in Los Angeles and so far I am averaging around 2-3 mbps which seems to be low.

In phone status, it says I am connected to HSDPA network. I'm going to try walking around campus and see if I am ever connected to HSPA+ network and test my speed there.

I'm concerned that either I am not getting 4g speeds (which I am paying for) or my MIUI rom / CM7 kernel is somehow interfering (even though it shouldn't since my speeds should depend on the radio I have which is the newest one).

Also, is the G2 incapable of exceeding 14.4 mbps downlink? I ask because that is what I believe it was originally advertised for.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
Any qualcomm smartphone doesn't have the ability to download faster than 14.4 Mbps. And LTE is just a better (in speed anyway, not battery life) technology.

Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Correct, the G2 only has a 14.4 max based on the chip. Additionally, that is best case scenario. Depending on where I am at in the city, and the time of day (population shift during work hours), I will get 2-3 down, and in some areas as high as 8-9.

If I recall, anything nowadays still isn't true 4G as the standard for 4G is supposed to be 100+ Mbit. I don't see the need (for me anyways) to be pulling 10-15 down at any given time. I don't do major downloads via my phone (don't want to hit data cap) and it uses additional battery. I know some people require the higher speeds, but I really think a large majority of regular users just think "that has a higher number, it must be better". And before people may get mad with that comment, I don't necessarily lump XDA members as regular users. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersonjacob54:
Yes, I do realize we are no where near what 4G speeds should be, hence the reason why the technology is called LTE.

Ok, so I wanted to confirm that we are hard capped at 14.4 mbps because of the chip. Thanks guys!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selfinflicted1:
Yeah I get anywhere from 3-5Mbps with good signal. After that when the cap hits data is practically useless. Can't even use the market or any kind of video streaming. Gay should be atleast 2G but its nowhere close to that speed. The cap is crippling me.
