Enable swap and checking it

Assume that u have partitioned your sd card by manually by partition tools

-fat32

-ext 2,3 or 4 (app to sd)

-swap

To enable swap for custom kernel, (i use alfs 06)

-Go to /system/etc

-RW, Text-edit fstab file,

-add line /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /swap rw

Note: the spaces between the mmcblk0p3 to /swap may varies on your fstab file, just follow the spaces provided at other top line.

Next, Text-edit hw_config.sh,

-add line swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

-or swapon -a if not worked for you.

-add line before drain battery fix if not worked also (by experience)

To check,

-open terminal

-type su

-type free

-value on swap 0 0 0 = failed

-any value = sucess

To change swappiness,

-Go to /system/etc/init.d

-the file depends on your rom build (mine in 99balancedtweaks file) find the line echo "AB" > /proc/vm/swappiness

-or you can just add line to hw_config

-add line echo "AB" > /proc/vm/swappiness

-where ur AB = any integer,

0 =use more ram (latency decrease)

100 =use more swap (latency increase)

Swappiness Info on Wikipedia

NOTE:All the step above need your devices to reboot to take effect.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikcave:
Does anyone know if there is a way with a custom ROM to fool Verizon into thinking my Incredible is a sum phone so I am not required to have a data plan? I am about to get a Galaxy Nexus and would like to pass my Inc to my son, but don't want to pay for a data plan for him.

A long time ago I had an HTC Diamond from Sprint I was able to hack to work on Verizon. Since Verizon didn't reccognize it I wasn't forced into a data plan. It was awesome. Since then I believe they stopped allowing non recognized phones on the network.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el6006:
Put it on page plus?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I dont know if this would work or not but a couple years ago i droped my samsung verizon contract phone in a pool and touch screen stoped working. I had an old prepaid verizon phone that i went on the site and registered and it worked fine. But i did not want to keep paying for data since the prepaid phone couldnt use it, so i cancled it thru the website and it let me.

So my thinking is if you buy a cheap 20 dollar verizon prepaid phone, activate it on your account in place of your incredible, cancel data plan, and then reactivate the incredible in place of the prepaid. It should work for calls but have no data. But really you could just activate the 20 dollar prepaid on your contract account thru the website, and have him use that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puertorican:
I don't think there is. I've only seen being able to use a deactivated phone on wifi without service. Sorry.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asiandrg0n:
Unfortunately you cannot, once the ESN is added to his phone number the Verizon activation system will automatically add the required data plan, there is no way to over ride it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikcave:
That is what i thought. I had forgotten it depends on the ESN. There was a brief time when Verizon was allowing non Verizon phones on the network, which was when I got the Diamond working. Since it Verizon didn't recognize the ESN it didn't force data.

Thanks anyway.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
But like i said you could still use a prepaid cheapie on your contract account, saving the hassle of buying cards and and adding minutes.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwwald:
Hi,

Since a month or so I have been noticing the exact same thing on my Legend. Got a 500MB monthly limit, never got even close to consuming it all... but in November, data usage got crazy and I hit the limit.

3G Watchdog shows me these apps as the top data consumer: "People", "com.android.providers.userdictionary", "Dialer", "Contacts Storage" and "com.android.providers.applications". These all show up as one combined entry, and for example have consumed 9MB only yesterday.

Anyone know what exactly is going on here?

Thanks for any advice,

wwwald
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
That's strange. But if your data app is not accurately reflecting your usage that you know for certain you aren't hitting, you must be careful that it isn't being killed in the background periodically. Either by Android or a task killer (the latter of which is horrible, don't use one). I use My Data Manager Free, and before the latest update, put a widget on my homescreen. Now, it just stays always on (never killed) in my notification bar, constantly reminding me how much data I use.

But this could be the opportunity to confront your carrier and show them these statistics that your app is providing. Doing so, you can get some money back (most likely. Here in Canada, THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU TO NOT TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE). If they find it reasonable, they may give you credit and/or a sorry gift.

Also, you didn't specify how you knew the limit was being hit. If the app told you, it's probably the app glitching out. Otherwise, check your statement or your network's online usage monitor, or their app if you are running their stock ROM and see for sure what exactly's going on. If the app doesn't match what your network's telling you, it's time to get rid of it.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwwald:
Well, the reporting is pretty accurate, since I got a notice from my provider only a bit after 3G watchdog warned me.

There are actually no carrier-specific apps on the phone. The phone recently got repaired under warranty, with a full system reinstall, but I'm pretty sure the problems only started later.

Anyway, it seems like "Facebook for HTC sense" might be the culprit. Its account was still syncing in the background... Disabled it and now I'm seeing if things get better.

Pfff... I probably should root it and remove all the HTC apps. Would save me at least a bunch of space.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Try the install update instead of install from sd card option within CWM or place the zip file on the root of sd card and reboot in bootloader that should work and follow on screen options to update

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Praxcelis:
Yeah, I fiddled with Plex, VLC and then finally moboplayer. I like moboplayer a lot more than the other two. No streaming software is required on your Mac/PC to watch video on your Android device.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] esoh:
I have used Mobo on my Nexus and like it. The reasons are that it plays ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING (MOV, FLV, MP4, M4V, etc.).

For the KF, it could be great in theory since you can adjust brightness and volume with screen swipes (no volume rocker on KF makes this a necessity).

The main issue that I had with Mobo on KF (side loaded) was that it wasn't doing full screen. I have a bunch of Apple TV stuff in M4V that are at resolutions (720 x 480) below the KF max resolution. When I play these files in Mobo on the KF, there is not way to put it to full screen. It uses about 75% of the screen. I guess I could recode the stuff to the full KF screen, but then I'm saving multiple versions which is just a waste of space.

Anyone know if this is solvable? The Gallery video player will play these files in full screen, but what it doesn't have is the ability to play MOVs which I have a lot of as well. I tried the Quickpic video player and while it plays the MOV files, it doesn't have on screen adjustments for volume which makes it less than ideal. So I continue to search for the ideal player:

1. Plays MOV, MP4, M4V, etc.

2. Onscreen volume swipe (and brightness if available)

3. Plays files using full screen.

Anyone?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
I would recomend you use Anker's 1900mAh battery instead, you can find it in Amazon and it's not very expensive.

The good thing about this battery is that having more capacity than the stock one, fits perfectly and you don't need to change the back case with another one more bulkier, so the phone will fit in all the docks. :)

LOL! Does this battery realy explode? :eek:

In my experience the battery is performing great. With stock I got around one day of charge, carefully managing the phone to not waste any battery (perhaps not so exagerated, but more or less).

i have the original samsung car dock.

this dock has a square peace of plastic in the middle,which( funny isnt it?) is exactly one millimeter thicker then the rest of the dock.

you can easily pull out this square plastic thing with a small screw driver.

after this,the phone fits perfectly into the dock,just as if it was designed for this.

i guess the bigger batterie was planed from the beginning on from samsung.and so is the dock to fit the bigger batterie.
