In Before The Lock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I don't know what the continued disagreement is about...

It's been shown before that bounty threads don't work.

It would be more effective to get everyone's money together and buy a phone outright for developers like Rootzwiki does.

Most developers don't do this for any sort of monetary gain, providing different models allows development across even more phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
The only problem with people purchasing a phone for a dev is at that point they feel like the dev will owe them something and would expect them to put in all the hours until they get whatever it is the people want working.

If the dev decided he didn't want to put the time in to get the work done, I think the people who purchased the phone would get pretty annoyed and would have a pretty valid argument I think.

At this point, who would you buy a phone for that can honestly say I can produce ICS for the ET4G? If someone can actually make that claim, I think people would do it but I do not know who that person would be.

I believe the CM team already has the phone so I would guess they are working on CM9 for us. At least that is what I think I heard, someone correct me if I am wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
There isn't a perfect method for anything.

However, the purchasing of phones for developers just seems like a better strategy.

I've read multiple tweets by several different developers that show they're more interested in that than bounties or small donations.

I think it would be better for the community if XDA embraced this idea and allowed people to donate to a fund that would essentially buy phones for devs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Thread was closed due to the trolls and drama. Just like 50% of the other threads on E4GT forum...

I'm not sad to see it go, I had a conversation with Glenn and know his intentions were all good, it's just with all the trolls in the E4GT forums it got out of hand.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Yeah things have definitely gotten out of hand. Looks like Viper's ICS thread in the general section is headed the same way with things so much off topic lately. People can't let anything go. When they argue once, they just got to keep dragging it on for some reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
It was a stupid concept overall. That's why it's gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Welcome to XDA the last year or so...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
It was closed because it did not adhere to XDA rules regarding bounty threads, as stated by Jerdog himself.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
i couldnt agree more my man. in the evo days which was not that long ago for me this arguing and *****ing just was not at the level it in here. im not sure why people see the need to **** on everything they see and then pick out some one whom to have a lengthy argument with on the thread. they should just pm each other and have all these ***** fests with them selfs so we wont have too see it all and have it over all through out a entire thread take up several pages worth. its no wonder when people new to xda come in here and dont read the thread and ask repeat questions all the time. i bet if people just stuck to asking legit questions and raising legit concerns that the threads would be 50% or more smaller and be packed just full of use full information that would cause a lot of news to spend the time reading without wading through **** soup trying to find a answer for there problems. im glad Jerdog goes through threads and cleans up a ton of crappy posts to make the ones of importance easier to get to. xda needs to come up with a anti crappy post software to detect bull **** and stop the person from being able to post out there but hole. lol ok i feel better now :P

I still don't think we are as bad as the EVO 3D section. Man that was just terrible!

If you want to buy a troll for Christmas, just hang out over there...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Its every single community in xda. Og epic was worse then what u seen here. Usually the first year or so of a phones release the community's are chaos. After that it gets pretty nice and settles.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You think the OG Epic people were worse than here? Maybe at times...definately when an update was near like where we are at now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
By here I meant this moment compared to the og epic moments. (If that makes sense) my theory is xda's forum design is the source of all the flaming and noobs and posting in wrong sections
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
Hm... Looks like it DID disappear. I noticed when it got locked and I found it then, but now its gone o_O. There's a glitch in the matrix.

Now on a serious note that thread went to sh*t because of all the damn trollololing. Jerdog was pissed. I agree with bluefire, and suggest that aside from the ten post minimum required for newbies, they should have a block on any comments they can post until they spend a total of at least 5min a XDA rules thread. That may cut down on the clusterf*ckassery we gotta wade through. Just my 2¢
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sean-El:
What we need to do is start a thread where we donate SGSIIs to CM, Koush, Toast and devs like that that make great kernals and roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
Not necessarily. I did not contribute to the thread nor give thanks for its closure but am grateful it is gone. It reeked of entitlement and really for the amount of time they devs would need to spend on the port, gives little reward for all their time spent when broken down by time spent,so was really kind of pointless. Feel free to donate to your favorite devs when it is available though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
+9000

I haven't been there in a while but it was the fncking wild west of trolling there. Sure, I hated the phone, but, that flame-n-troll fest did nothing to compel me to stay. It was fun in a 4chan kinda way, but, if i want that I can just go to 4chan instead without ****ting up a perfectly good forum.

The nonsense seems contained within each thread around here, for the most part. You can usually tell which threads will end up like that from the title alone... And, I'll be honest here, the ICS bounty thread reeked of that from the start... It's how the vast majority of bounty threads end up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Below is the reason it was closed and subsequently deleted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
XDA should change some rules about trolling

As the person who created the ICS ROM Reward Thread, those who pledged donations know that my intentions were good. Unfortunately, XDA allowed numerous posts against the thread and some which I found to be personally insulting and defamatory. After 6 weeks of dealing with those posts, I asked jerdog to delete the entire thread.

For the record, jerdog allowed the thread to exist for 6 weeks, despite the fact that it was not offering the reward to a specific developer. For that I thank jerdog. It seemed very likely that Viperboy would have been the recipient but near the end we were getting more attention from other developers.

In case any of you missed the final tally, before deleting the thread we had raised $1960 in pledged donations.

We will get an ICS ROM eventually but I now suspect it will be when Samsung/Sprint gives it to us sometime late next year.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
And with that I think it's a good time to shut this post down.
[LG Optimus Black] poslanec:
Hello, i bought the new Andida 1800mAh batery.I used the one of theme in my HTC topaz,and its better batery then original.But in my OB is really different experian.If you want wake up OB from stand by,push the power button, you can see little "flashing" on the screen.I think, there is coming a more energy to OB, then original batery.Thats my experian, maybe its helpful for someone.
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
Was it worth over the original 1500 mAH? I mean i always end up with bigger batteries too but at least double capacity.

And was your original battery that bad already? I mean OB is not even year old!
[LG Optimus Black] poslanec:
My original battery is ok, i get it to my OB back.Battery is 2 months old :-)

I bouth some accessories for my Lg, and take this Andida for good experience from HTC(there was 20-30% improvement).Its little bit bad choice.I think, the flashing screen isn't good for the display life :D
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
If it is flashing as you say it must be some instability of the battery cell - voltage peaks etc.

Try to check the voltage in both original and generic batery and write to the company in case there is difference.
[LG Optimus Black] poslanec:
Voltage is ok, 3.7v.Maybe some bad piece.
[LG Optimus Black] Tedo:
And now? How does it feel...? The phone withe the extended battery! :D
[LG Optimus Black] s0ulreaver:
Does it have the same voltage as the original OB battery?

The mAh shouldn't be a problem as having more means only that the battery should last longer.

Unless there are other inner differences beside the mAh.
[LG Optimus Black] sensei22:
I assume 3.7V is measured using a constant load (e.g. a DC voltmeter with a high impedance input), so don't get fooled by that. Once you are draining current on a real environment, this battery might be in and out of the ideal operation mode, meaning that voltage fluctuations might occur for different current levels. If that is the case, get rid of that battery ASAP or you might risk your device.

But you have the top of brighness?

Many battery,come without legal certificate.. that can be give negative effect to handheld. Becarefull still use the OEM battery for safety your phone.;)

Its a good idea buy a battery like this (1800mA) for my OB?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberlancer:
Hello everybody!

Just subscribed a contract with Belgacom / Proximus for a GT P7500 3G.

Heard of the just released update to HC 3.2 for this tablet but:

1. Kies, when hooked to the tab says "this product doesn't support firmware update"

2. also, OTA, no firmware update available

Does anybody know something more? Is it a problem due to the fact that this tab might be somehow branded and thus not allowed to get "generic" updates?

Or I just need to do something I don't know? (pretty new of android ... sorry)

Many thanks in advance to anyone can help.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeveHanter:
Hi Everyone,

I have one big problem, when I insert my PlusGSM sim-card my X8 don't recognise it, but when I insert PLAY or T-Mobile sim they both are recognised and connecting to network. PlusGSM sim is working when I insert it to my SE C902, how can it be?

I will add, card was working hour ago, but stopped working after my X8 drop and battery fall out from phone -_-

I'm using nAa-kernel v06b, and MiniCM7-2.1.5.

Please for fast response, because I haven't access to my contacts :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogysha:
ouch! maybe u burn your sim card :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhoc_maruko9x:
As a temporary solution, you should insert your SIM in another phone to backup your contacts, at least to know if your sim is still works.

Edit: Oh, this's a old thread! :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
@bogysha

probably no, because it works on other phone.

Just verify if all the "Sim connecting pins" are okay and there isn't any damaged. Because every sim has the Chip in different positions (for me it is) and some doesn't fill all the pins, i think.

@nhoc_maruko9x

not that old xD
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
Ive done many tests, and Ive finally achieved the 12 hour battery life everyoen has been complaining about.

This is only achievable through a mixture of the applicatoin ''Juicedefender beta'' and Smart Actions, and freezing the unnecessary bloatware that doesnt need to be running in the background

Use the following settings:

2g & Data connnection off when screen off (For e-mails, let autosync check every x minutes you would like)

3g when specific apps need data connection on (for internet radios enable the screen on/off profile)

In-built setcpu function, set min/max to 300mhz on idle

Enable juicedefender to automatically handle 2g/3g networks

SMARTACTIONS: Display ON & OFF profile -> Disable background sync

Juicedefender in-built autobrightness, and tweak the settings below stock brightness

Enable juicedefender to manage wifi

HYPOTHESIS: Played Internet Radio for 1 hour straight, all active applications killed, only radio playing.

RESULT: Every 1 hour, drain: 9%

So if you multiple 9% by 12 = 109% which is slightly above 12hours.

Everyone can also test this, and see if their RAZR is the same, if so, no more complaints =)

Which is roughly 12 and a bit hours, please everyone also share their results using the same setup and post your results so we can all share, hope this helps =)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tornlogic:
I can run 16 hrs stock out of the box under moderate use.

Here's where I'm at now and I'm stock...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abcrndm:
just turn off 4g except when you plan on surfing the web and it will be fine...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] y0brando:
My battery life has almost tripled ever since I turned off my 4G radio.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
Yes, after 3 weeks try and error, 4G is the biggest consumer of battery.

Second is screen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milkshed27:
Where is the built-in setcpu function? I have been looking around but can't seem to find any setting like this.

I'm aware that Juice Defender has an option like this but when you say "built-in", it sounds like you're referring to one built-in to Smart Actions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oaklands:
I believe he is referring to the market app Setcpu.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
There is no 'acclaimed' 12 hr battery life...it is just possible with no high-tech, settings changing miracle. I get up to 18hrs with moderate use. Aside from 4G...you need to put your screen brightness down to around 30% which still looks very good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
Make sure you are using the beta version. Then you must go to the profiles ans click advanced, then confirm and the extra options to change frequencies will appear
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
That basically means that unless you are using the phone with screen on you are not going to get emails.

POINTLESS!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
I agree with Szadzik. There's a fine line of usability vs battery life that needs to be determined by ones needs. For me I don't use WIFI. Mine is always off and don't turn it on unless I must for a mandatory game data download or something. I refuse though to scale back half the phones ability to save on battery. Fortunately this is the best battery life I have ever had on anything and that includes my single cores. Thankfully no need to scale back. The benefit of having AMOLED or at least this one is you can run the screen at 30% and still have people comment on how bright it is LOL.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vgupman:
You can set it to turn data on every 5 minutes when the screen is off and sync your email so that's not a big deal...it still saves a lot of battery. Personally I've just been keeping LTE off unless I really need it and turn juice defender on when i'm in a bind and need to preserve battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
Theres an option to check for auto sync every 15 minutes, just enable if you use email
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
It will eat more battery if it keeps turning on and off every 5 minutes.

How are you going to receive emails if data is turned off?

Besides, using email app while you can use GMail is very uncomfortable.

You guys are trying to do everything to destroy smartphone experience. I prefer to have an external charger and USB cable to charge it up than to use these tricks to lower battery usage and have a smartphone that does not work.

The great thing I use is Moto's Sleep mode whenever I decide I do not want anyone to disturb me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
The data connection will turn on by itself automactically to check for auto-sync when you enable the option for juice defender to automatically manage data connection..

Whole point of this app is to get the most battery you can without sacrificing functionality, but just effectively using the networks/data connections effectively.. android has poor network management..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] z06mike:
That's crazy, straight out the box I'm getting 14 hrs. + with pretty moderate use.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nerdslogic:
I have been getting 20+ the last 4 days with smart actions
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nagnrik:
It is strange, I can use my RAZR for a maximum of 36 hours with light usage, 24 hours with moderate usage and 16 hours with heavy usage includes smart actions.. I never had battery issues on RAZR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Astrowe:
exactly.. i'd be really bad if the battery wouldn't last for 12 hours from the box. in fact i think that the battery life on RAZR is really good. I play games a lot, browse the web and stuff and i have no problem getting over 12 hours so.. only thing that comes to my mind is that they acutally mean 24 hours since they MIGHT have 12hr clock not 24hr.. so technically they can't reach 24hours. they can reach something like full 12. but you tell me :confused: i never heard anything about RAZR having 12 hours acclaimed battery life
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vgupman:
You're right these features aren't great for everybody to use all the time but if you're really trying to save some battery and your not that important of a person that you can't wait 5-15 minutes to get your email it helps. I would argue that carrying an external charger takes away from the experience just as much if not more depending on the situation. Also, you don't have to be using the email app it works with gmail too it just turns on auto sync every x amount of minutes.

For me keeping 4g off when I'm not browsing the web or downloading a large file keeps me with more than enough juice to get me through most days.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
you know what guys,

the best way to get battery life is to have a proper discharging/charging of the battery. since i bought it about, 9 days ago. i always totally drain til 5%. and fully charge it during the night. i always have 12 hrs. minimum and reach till 16-18hrs depending on usage. i dont have 4g though and always on 3g most of the day. average of 30mins phone call. surfing and browsing during lunch break. apps synced all the time. just my 2 cents.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
If you want to save battery use sleep mode, you will not be able to receive calls, but if you are not that important of a person they can wait.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jroc:
12 hours was the rated talk time. Normally when the talk time is high like that, the overall battery life is pretty decent too.

I agree if I got 12 hours overall thats kinda low. With my use I can get a day easy, which is not alot of 4G until I get off work. Once I switch on 4G the battery disappears. My battery life is on par with my Droid X1....which had great battery life. When I get in a better reception area I might test my RAZR. I already tested my DX1 last year and with at least 1/2 an hour to an hour use of almost everything (internet, talking, playing games, etc) I got 29 hours. Screen was on for 4 hours.

And until 4G gets better tech to improve battery life....I will treat it like Wifi....only use it when I need it. Which for me means if I'm not on the internet or playing networked games or downloading/updating apps, using Netflix, Motocast....I have it on 3G. Netflix works fine on 3G tho, Motocast too...

If you do alot of what I mentioned above......it might be a problem to use LTE all the time if you want good battery life. Some ppl in threads when you mention disabling 4G when not using it, they act like we are disabling data all together. Funny how I dont hear complaints of having the screen turn off when not in use for all these smartphones, or have the screen set to auto brightness....whats the difference? Thats done to save the battery....and its an auto setting. And now Smart Actions....it disable 3G and 4G together. But you wont hear ppl complaining about Smart Actions...

And let not forget that if you are in a good to great reception area....your battery life will always be better than a person in a bad reception area if both of you use your phones the same way. Folks in a bad reception area need to get used to using Airplane Mode in some cases. Its the only way my phone can make it a day at work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] harvey007:
Is there any way to get the Setcpu without rooting the device? As I cannot see it anywhere "built-in" within my Razr..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
Fully Charged phone DIED overnight

Ok, so I take my phone off the charger before bed (about 2230), I even have a SmAct set for kick in about an hour after I goto sleep that is "supposed" to put the phone in Airplane mode. Alarm set for 0400, wake up around 0630 to a phone that doesn't come on, doesn't do anything when plugged into charger or PC.....Dead

I read on another thread something about holding PWR+Vol Down for ten seconds to reboot..... at first nothing, then I look back at phone and see the white charge light - 60% charge. Boot up the phone and look at what battery monitor widget recorded. I went to bed around maybe 2240

See attached screenshot

I may take this back to the VZW store.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nmeofdst8:
Im at 11h 27m and battery shows 70%. BT auto turns off at work with good 4G service all day. Wifi on at home at night. Light use, I have got close to 24 hours a few times already. Medium use, 16 to 18

Hours at least. GPS never on, data fetch for email on push on 2 accounts and 30 minutes on the other. Overall great battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vgupman:
Yes you're right that's the same thing as not getting your email for 5-15 minutes...what's your point anyway? This thread is about saving battery life so I gave my suggestion. There are obviously trade off's in order to save battery life it doesn't just magically disappear...
