Still running 100% ERA Legendary v4.0.1 (with provided kernel) and I squeezed ~74 hours of pure standby time out of my stock battery.

Data Sync (FB every 6hrs, Weather every 2hrs, Google push)/GPS/Auto Brightness = on

TWS = 4%

Display Time = ~24mins (sent 3 texts and checked 1 voicemail)

100% on 3G

Had I turned off all synching, GPS and lowered brightness all the way, I would have probably gotten 4 days.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Battery life has heavily depended on the strength of signal for me as well. I moved recently and have been living in the basement while the renovations are going on upstairs. No airave (it is used at a different location) means little to no signal in a brick house due to Sprint's POS signal frequency. Although I've been flashing different kernels and maybe not allowing them to settle + undervoling a bit (very conservatively, will not OC over 1100). But it is true that since days I was on BB Tour, not one phone lasted a full day without an extended battery. I'm pretty much decided on VZW switch once Prime comes out - one of the factors is better expected power management of ICS and possibility of adding an extended battery without worrying about making the phone too bulky (given how thin it is).

[Samsung Infuse 4G] sjforcum:
I've followed the instructions and the videos...I cannot get my Infuse to allow me to install a new ROM. I had a Captivate previously and flashed frequently. Tried to resist rooting & flashing but finally ran out of patience waiting for AT&T.

So I have root. I've copied the recovery file from the SDCard to the /system/bin...made sure the permissions were all copied from the original recovery. I reboot into recovery and re-install packages.

I then downloaded ROMManager and installed. Reboot into Recovery (3e) and re-install packages which then brings me to the green font CWM. If I choose to install zip from SD I don't specifically see any errors on the screen, but I end up getting brought back to 3e reboot...which never goes anywhere.

I haven't been able to find much help on this searching...I can't be the only one having this issue.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luutuan:
Android version 2.2+

Hi, is there any way that I can still get the values from the acceleration sensor even after the screen is turned off (I already made my program as an activity)? When the screen-on is timeout, I will release the wake lock that I used to wake up the phone (to turn the screen on)

Note: When I tried my program in the debugging mode (connected to my computer), it worked fine.

P/s: There is one funny thing, when I tried my program on my sony arc s (stock rom 2.3.4), it stopped sending values from acc sensor after about 10 minutes, but in my friend's phone, he uses cooked rom Cyanogenmod 7, it stopped sending immediately after the screen had turned off. This made me wonder that would android have shallow sleep mode and deep sleep mode. I assumed that in shallow sleep mode, all activities would be able to run normally, but in deep sleep mode, only system activities could run. Am I right?

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagDave:
Basically yes, you are right. ;)

Depending on the ROM/kernel, dictates how fast sleep modes are activated.

All ROMs I have used, have had a selectable "prevent from sleeping" mode when connected to usb. Other than that, you'll need an app that prevents the phone from going in to a deep sleep. :banghead: :D

[Captivate General] onetik:
I can't get my stupid Captivate to go into download mode no matter what I do (short of buying a jig, which I can't do right now) and I think I've erased CWM while getting rid of the useless CM7 for MIUI. Can I take a risk of flashing a stock ROM without download mode or CWM ? Is it possible ? If yes, how do I do it and what are the risks involved ?

Thanks !
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
if you cant get into download mode or recovery there is no way.

but dont worry. youre just doing something wrong.

every captivate WILL go into download or recovery mode.

Instructions for recovery mode:

have phone shut off

hold both volume buttons

press and hold power button

KEEP ALL 3 BUTTONS HELD for 3-5 seconds after screen comes on

after kernel bootscreen you will see clockwork recovery menu

I'm presenting these largely unedited, as I don't want to incorrectly type an important detail of something that I don't understand myself.

- Apply UnBrickable mod to your device, then remove the battery, insert the battery, and click the "Download Mode" button on the computer

- Use UART (619Kohm resistor between USB pins 4-5, D+=RX, D-=TX, 192500bps 8n1 comms), press and hold ENTER while booting, then type USB

One additional thing - your download mode screen should, normally, look like the yellow triangle with the Android guy digging. However, if a flash goes foul somehow, you may be left with the infamous "phone--/!\--PC" screen. If you see this, don't panic. Although it's not technically the download mode screen, many users (including myself) have been able to successfully flash from that screen. Give it a try.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
I'm not really sure what I'm going to do. My Vivid is a work phone so I'm stuck on AT&T anyway. I could return it but there is no other phone that I really want. The new LG looks nice but it seems like development sucks for LGs even with an unlocked bootloader.

My assumption considering the specs the LG is going to have is that it will probably get a decent reception here. At least I would hope. Time will tell.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
In spirit, AT&T lost me many years ago. The only reason why I'm still with them is because of my corporate policy and them not allowing me to switch to Verizon.

Believe me, if I could, I would in a heartbeat.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I will continue with AT&T.

Have you called their tech support lately? They fixed my tethering, visual cm and sms provisioning and called back the next day to ensure it was fixed.

CIQ doesn't bother me. This is a work phone. Work already has the right to monitor me. They purchased the phone and pay for the plan.

In general, I am a doer and not a whiner. If it works for me and helps me get things done and doesn't harm me, great!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
You may be right. I'll probably give this phone another few weeks though. This is the phone I've wanted since the Holiday was first leaked.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Reclaim:
You've got to be kidding me. You're calling us whiners and not doers? Have you even been following this forum at all? Of course we have called tech support!

And this all makes sense now. The reasons you're defending them. "CIQ doesn't bother me." "It works for me and doesn't harm me" You're just selfish. Do you realize how many people are affected by CIQ? Chances are someone you know or even a family member is affected. Your "you agreed to terms" argument doesn't apply here like you tried to use in another thread. CIQ is doing things without our consent or permission! This isn't about just what affects "ME". This is about all of us and how we're being affected. Everyone has a different lifestyle and most of us don't have "work Vivids".

You don't want to participate in what we're trying to do, then don't. Want to stay with AT&T? Cool. But what's the point of trolling here? As long as we know now that you've been exposed as a selfish troll, No one really cares what you have to say.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I am participating. It is just another view. I am not some occupy zombie. Talk about selfish...trying to silence another's opinion would be the epitome of selfishness.

Let me know how you have been affected by CIQ. Has something changed in your life. I am guessing not because you didn't know until someone pointed it out.

By "doing" and not whining I mean TRULY make a difference. Instead of flooding corporate sites with noise, help with investigation. Make a case. How does it affect you? What did you agree to? Have you done due diligence and reread your contract?

These things make a difference.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Reclaim:
We helped raise awareness. That's most certainly doing something. I would love to do whatever I could. How is this occupying anything? No one is camping outside AT&T offices trying to protest.

And that's the issue. We HAD to be told that we were being monitored. So before it causes any real damage, it needs to be stopped. Just think if someone figured out that the PSN had an exploit before the the attack went down. We have the opportunity to do things we couldn't in other situations.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
Until they kick me off my unlimited plan I will stay loyal. This whole Vivid situation was perfect timing in my mind. Was able to get the phone for $25 no contract so I kept it a few weeks waiting out the locked bootloader issue. Seeing that it may take awhile I sold the Vivid for $300 and bought a Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ and couldn't be happier.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nakel:
Everyone, step back. OP, don't ask for opinions then complain you don't like some of those opinions. WillGill, that's pretty rude calling folks trying to do something "whiners". Which is what you did.

I believe it's important for people to shout it out when Big Brother starts to over reach. I appreciate the efforts of many here to expose and Kill CarrierIQ.

We live in a society that is becoming increasingly corrupt. Congress has made many forms of bribery completely legal, so that they can try and pretend that they're still the good guys. For the first time in history, Congress has been completely bought and paid for by those wishing to bend the system to their own selfish concerns. At the same time, the Internet has made it possible--for the first time in history--for the masses to become fully informed and fight this attack on our society.

The occupy movement is a good example of people coming together to fight terrible changes in our society, and this movement is fueled by information available on the Internet. Unfortunately, Occupy has failed miserably. If they've done anything, they've helped those people they're trying to fight. It's really too bad, they could have had a major impact had they targeted those people that actually could change the system--Congress.

We no longer hold politicians accountable for their corruption and the damage they've done to the system. We blindly accept whatever they've got to say, as long as they support a few pet causes we hold dear. Liberals--by and large--support Democrats, regardless of how huge the bribes they take are. Look at Nancy Pelosi: almost universally adored among the liberals and yet crooked beyond belief. Oh, that's right, she's not crooked. Congress has made it legal for her to accept bribes so large that they're unprecedented in history. And don't be smug conservatives, the Republicans are no better. Both sides are laughing all the way to the bank, whilst we cling to a few small issues that we feel differentiates liberals and conservatives.

As you rail against CarrierIQ, please don't forget who's sitting back and doing nothing even though they're vested with the responsibility to defend our privacy and our freedom. It's time we held congress's feet to the fire, regardless if we consider ourselves liberal or conservative.When you vote, look past whether a candidate is liberal or conservative. If they're honest, it will all work itself out. Cry out for candidates who are honest, who will fight CarrierIQ and every such intrusion into our lives. Don't accept corruption.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
Nakel, you may have missed my point. All this ranting and raving without fact checking and knowing legal rights is just whining. Instead, I recommend true action.

Occupiers, by definition, are just taking up space. They change nothing other than kill park grass, leave filth, not to mention the rapes, drug deaths and deficating on cop cars. And no... I'm not making that up. Google it. That's the wrong message.

Actually what I see missing is personal responsibility.

Expect only what you pay for but feel free to negotiate more.

Know what your rights, not what you feel is "right".

Know your facts before you speak. (Like 85% of millionaires didn't inherit it)

Contribute to a true difference, not a scene.

My apologies for getting a bit OT. I would just like to be a voice of caution. Let's be sure we know if and who the dragon is before trying to vanquish it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] AnyMal:
I am with you, willgill, though I have no desire to argue or reason with "grab your pitchforks and torches" mob. I do find it curious however, that this mob's anger is rather selective. They get all worked up over CIQ yet say absolutely nothing about legalized rape that is SMS fees. They worry about a cell phone watching their every step while they are already being watched and tracked, EVERYWHERE. Your ISP already monitors your web traffic. Your bank already monitors your transactions. Your supermarket, gas station, restaurant already watch you like a hawk. Your cable and satellite provides and TV networks already watch you watching TV. Every time you input a pin code in ATM, click on TV remote, write an email - you are being watched and recorded.

So relax and sleep well tonight, my fellow xda'ers. Big Brother is not only watching you; he's also watching over you. If you wish to stick with your fears and superstitions, be my guest, but please do wear a tinfoil hat while you're outside, so I can identify and avoid you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
Intriguing commentary and food for thought.

"IF" CIQ is logging your SMS, would the same people incensed by that also be livid if their cell company couldn't retrieve their texts logs for evidence in a court case?

I've seen several court cases where text message records were admitted as evidence. So people want texts archived if it benefits them but on the other hand NOT recorded?
[General Questions and Answers] Mrktmind:
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Player with the intentions of using it as a wifi phone as a replacement for my cell phone.

The main reason for this is I don't like all the tracking going on with cell phones. Cell phone tower tracking, Carrier IQ tracking, etc., etc. I'm not doing anything illegal and I'm not a conspiracy nut, it's just the principle of it. I'm an American - I'm suppose to have freedoms and be able to have my privacy if I so choose.

I had planned on using either Skype with an online phone number or Google Voice to get voice on my Player. The problem with this is Google is going to track every wifi hotspot I log in from so I'm kind of back at square one - EVERYONE wants to spy on you these days. Not to mention all the criminals trying to get personal info at public hot spots.

So I thought about a VPN. That would stop Google/Skype from tracking the wifi hotspot I log in from. But, how does one find a VPN service that you know without a doubt is trustworthy??? I've even thought about getting my own VPS and installing OpenVPN myself (found a good service for that if anyone is interested). But from a true anonymity standpoint it would be better to use a VPN service who has many other customers all using a shared IP. Plus I'll use the same VPN service for my desktop and it would be nice to log into some websites from another countries sometimes.

I've also looked into setting up my own Asterisk server but haven't had time to get too in-depth with that yet.

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Naw, its just the phone itself, and couldn't be prevented.

And task killers aren't recommend to use, because they conflict with the system.

Honestly, you figure it out because you get that error message. It tries to write data to that portion of ROM memory but can't because its corrupted and gives that message as a result.

You can just firewall it off with droid firewall - when I've done this it actually wouldn't launch in the background.
