[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
There may be two reasons for your problem:

1. Hardware fault.

2. Certain app is causing this.

On 2.3.4 my Arc (I have it since April) perfoms great in this field. In the night on AirplaneMode it eats 2% (about).

BUT there is one app which changes everything drastically and it's a game "Brain Cube" which makes my battery die quick. Also after stopping playing, the game can stay in the background and suck the power. After 1 day everything is back in norm.
[Xperia Arc General] bolochan:
Cos I have been flashing my arc so much I only have a few apps installed, like titanium backup, root explorer, setup + battery monitor. I have installed whatsapp too but ensured that it is not running. So I don't think it is an app that is causing it. I have tried flashing different baseballs as well but no luck!
[Xperia Arc General] Sagi1970:
With stock I was loading the whole day (at night, in my car, at work), just because within 8 hrs my battery was empty.

Now I'm using Arconium 5.1 (4.0.2.A.0.62) and don't have to do that anymore.

I'm having wifi/3G on, GPS on, Bluetooth on, screen about 60%.
[Xperia Arc General] bolochan:
Took my phone to a service centre, and they replaced the motherboard. Now on rooted stock 2.3.4-58, I can comfortably get 1.5 days use out it
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
i get 2 days + with normal - heavy usage.. :

today i had :

45 mins of browsing

30 mins calling via 3G

2 hrs of music

20 minutes of facebook or so

and weather updating every hour

battery until now: 67%

i used to get like 7 hours with .42 with the same usage xD
[Xperia Arc General] stereovision:
which firmware are you running? i am on .42 and i am getting only about 12 hours of battery life with a full charge
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
updated to .62 with full wipe :P
[Xperia Arc General] brezzz:
Does zergrush work with .62? cos if it does i will update to that as i am currently on .42
[Xperia Arc General] bolochan:
That was what I was getting. I suspect you have a faulty battery fuel gauge. That why they replaced my phone's motherboard
[Xperia Arc General] radheck:
You always put on 3g dates , or wifi ??
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
always 3G on here :D and wifi when im at home :P
[Xperia Arc General] jejeh:
Hi there

I,m on Acronium 5.6 .062 and baseband 36 and idle i,m getting 3 or 4 % within 8 hours,with bb 64 it,s around 6 % in 8 hours idle.

All with doom,s advanced stock kernel.
[Xperia Arc General] yumemiru_tenshi:
used to be around 18-20 hour in .58

just updated into arconium .62

will have to review it to know the battery life
[Kindle Fire General] monkey10120:
Has anyone tried to use a micro/full size usb male/female cable with the fire. I know it works with the xoom but how about the fire?

http://www.amazon.com/USB-Micro-Female-Male-Adaptor/dp/B0023FTRUO
[Kindle Fire General] RawRmon:
No I can't say that I have, but this is very interesting indeed!

What would be the benefits? I'm technologically inept sometimes, but I am assuming you might be able to expand it's memory?
[Kindle Fire General] Kapurnicus:
This has been tried. As far as I know, we are not aware whether or not the hardware supports this (usb to go) but we are sure the stock kindle kernal does not. A rom or kernal in the future may remedy this eventually, but as of now usb is only for pc to kindle data transfer and charging.

Edit: You asked about the benefits, I didn't mention them. You might be able to use card readers, flash frives, cd rom drives, bluetooth dongles, anything you can imagine (given the drivers). Sometimes you need a powered hub, depending on the device being plugged in. I wouldn't hold your breathe on getting this on the kindle. It seems unlikely to me, but some brilliant dev may work a miracle!
[Kindle Fire General] altitude909:
Kind of a usesless adapter no? What exactly are you supposed to plug that into..
[Kindle Fire General] boomn:
That is exactly what Kapurnicus tried to cover. The full size USB end is female so you can plug in USB cables that are normally meant to be used with a desktop or laptop. I just bought a similar adapter for my Nook Color and I will use it to pull photos directly from my camera, which will be especially useful on trips without a laptop for viewing and uploading. Being able to carry a really large music, movie and tv library on an external hard drive and switch out what I have on my tablet would be cool, but I don't really have that need. Keyboard and/or mouse could come in handy for some people. Lots of things can be done
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
It's so you can plug things INTO the Fire, assuming the get a USB host mode working.
[Kindle Fire General] troydog:
I have and no luck at all using it. Yes straight usb to computer works fine.

The problem the port on the kindle sends no power. So keyboard,mouse,sd card reader, usb fan usb light do not work with it. DVD drive I have not gave a try will in a few.

I will post on dvd drive once I hook it up. But I do not think it will work.

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

dvd cd drive does not work at all.

Also have samsung printer and it does not work even with there app.
[Kindle Fire General] altitude909:
Oh i get it, but that USB host thingy is kind of a big deal
[Kindle Fire General] [-_-]:
I have a phone charger that is usb on one end and micro usb on the other that one works great. I have not tried the method that you are speaking of I will try later and get back to you
[Kindle Fire General] boomn:
Host mode support is not part of the stock kernel or any of the custom kernels yet, and it won't work until developers can get those parts configured and debugged to work with the Kindle.
[General Questions and Answers] VulcanTourist:
I've become curious whether any mobile devices with USB ports could be used, with appropriate software, as auxiliary USB keypads or keyboards to another host device? Given the ubiquity of small LCD touchscreen tablet devices now, it seems like an obvious application to develop software that would display programmable keys on a touchscreen and then output appropriate key scancodes or sequences via a USB port to another connected system, in essence making the tablet appear as a USB HID to the host. The software aspect would be somewhat trivial; I've seen software for Windows Mobile touchscreen devices with IR transceivers that allows them to be used as universal remote controls. This would in effect be a USB variant of that type of software.

Is that technically feasible, or is there a limitation to the USB spec or hardware that might prevent it? Is there a host-client aspect to USB that exists outside of software alone?
[General Questions and Answers] VulcanTourist:
It seems I need to post this in another area to reach the right audience for my question, but which one?
[General Questions and Answers] Gusar321:
There's plenty of apps that enable this via wifi or bluetooth, but I haven't seen any that would do it over USB. I don't see why it shouldn't be possible, but it seems no one has coded it yet.
[General Questions and Answers] VulcanTourist:
The reason it came to mind is that there are companies selling some surprisingly expensive auxiliary programmable USB keypad devices. With the addition of the necessary software, tablets and similar devices with touchscreens might be poised to erase their cozy little overpriced vertical market. That is, if there's no limitations to USB hardware or drivers that would prevent it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] NeKr0MAtiK:
Ive had these batteries for about a month and a half. For $20 you get two batteries and a wall charger. Not a bad deal for two batteries that are supposed to last longer than stock however, they do not last longer than stock. I get about 20% less time out of these batteries than my stock LG. I don't regret my purchase though because they are still useful in the sense that you don't have to ever plug your phone in, you can just swap out batteries... all in all not a bad deal for what you get you're just not getting what they advertised which is more time on a single battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Thanks for the review, but i prefer my 3500mah which lasts usually 12-16 hours and i hate swapping batteries constantly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I get like 15 hours of good usage (for me atleast) with the stock battery
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Battery life varies on everyone man, i got about 3-4 hours on stock battery with 600 apps installed. 3500mah i get 12-16 i'm content with that. Doubt you would get the same battery life if you used your G2x like i did ;-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NeKr0MAtiK:
Yeah I don't really like swapping batteries constantly either. I've just been using stock batt. and keep the 3rd partied "just in case". I would like to use extended batteries but I dont like having the huge back. Hopefully someone will make a Li-Po for this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
600 Apps? ! Holy ****
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
I'm still quite surprised as to how you get less battery life with this battery thank with stock. Still, $20 for two batteries and a charger is a pretty good deal. I think I'll go for it, too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
Stock battery is usually as advertised for mah (1500), while aftermarket ones generally overstate their capacity. I have the andida 1980mah one and it's not much better than stock. It's not a dud either though, so I'm pretty happy with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 95Z28:
I make it through the day on stock. That's what matters to me. So anywhere from 9-24+ hours, depending on the day. Except on slow days at work, then I might have to charge halfway through my shift, but there's always outlets available at work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NeKr0MAtiK:
After installing weapon g2x with faux kernel and setting my max cpu speed to 503mhz, I'm averaging 30 + hours on stock, though that is very limited use. And if I turn wifi on its just starts draining....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
I have had the hyperion batteries for about 3 months. They are decent but they lose capacity fast. Meaning they hold less and less over time. But at least they work i guess.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NeKr0MAtiK:
Just got done reading your Weapon ICS theme posts. Good work man flashed a few hours ago.

Warning:

Installing this bin will allow any UID to reboot your device.

After a few people complained about making bad system mods, or permissions on /system/app and not being able to get root or back into recovery after that, I made a little tool to help.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/kindlefire/rbfb

Installation

Use my BurritoRoot app to get root:

adb root

adb remount

adb push rbfb /system/xbin/

adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/rbfb

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/rbfb

adb reboot

To use:

So if your stuck in a bootloop, and you can only get to adb, you can use this took to reboot to fastboot or recovery.

adb shell /system/xbin/rbfb <parameter>

4000 : boot normal

4002 : boot fastboot

5001 : boot recovery

Any or no parameter will reboot.

[HTC Sensation] Bronyr:
I'm currently running virtuous inquisition 1.3.0. I've tried all ICS roms and I must say I havent' seen much speed increase running single core vs dual core (enabled via system tuner pro). ICS was supposed to take full advantage of the dual core processor but - it's not doing that. I ran tests and after disabling one core the phone actually performs a bit faster - using all the tests I could find: linpack, Quadrant and CF-Bench. Could well be that it's just such an early release of ICS. But GB is actually performing better vs ICS at the current state of affairs.
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
Synthetic benchmarks are far from definitive.
[HTC Sensation] Bronyr:
I'm comparing apples to apples numerous times, the disabled secondary core results are always a bit higher.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
It's a test ROM. What did you expect?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
1. It's an internal test LEAK with a pre-official base

2. Asynchronous smp. Wtf do people not understand about our phones being asynchronous smp architecture? Ics WILL NEVER change this. Ics made the whole rom multithreaded (taking advantage of multi core) and made apps aware of multicore, but nowhere did it EVER say it would change our phone from asynchronous smp to synchronous smp.

Our phones are only built to have cpu1 come on when the load (not speed) on cpu0 reaches a certain threshold.

ICS WILL NOT MAKE BOTH CORES STAY ON ALL THE TIME! this would mean changing the CPU architecture which is not happening after the whole SoC has been designed, layed out, and built (the physical chip and its design).

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] Bronyr:
I was expecting dual core perform at least on par with the single core, as ICS finally able to do it.

But you may be right - got trip's experimental beta and without even looking if it's running dual core - his rom smokes competition flat. Much better results than even the famed Galaxy S2.
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
I dont understand what are you guys talking about, im running ICS with sense for few days and its faster than anything before and benchmarks confirm it

2600 in quadrant and 6250 in AnTuTU and i couldn't get that much even with custom tweaked kernels with overclocked GPU..

Only problem is as its early stage dev rom, scores are some times "quirky" and drop in half but most of the times you get this high ones.

Also Browser is noticeable smoother, scrolling pages (XDA Sensation development) is smooth now and was laggy with ALL roms EVER. EStrong file manager also smooth as it should be..

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Which Rom are you using? My benchmarks suck...

Matt
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Using RCTeam first release 1.0 version.

Except i was inpatient to wait so i zipaligned and PNG optimized entire rom my self, and deleted bunch of HTC crap i dont use, including loggers...
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
quadrant doesn't support dual core & isn't a reliable benchmark.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Enough with Quadrant bashing. It shows useful FPS information and is relative. Now, if it only went to 2500 no matter what ROM you are using then yes, it would be useless. But getting a 1400 on it with one ROM and then getting a 2600 on it with another ROM AINT useless information.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
So your saying by disabling 2nd core you get same score? And tell me why is CPU usage on 100% during test for both cores if it doesnt support it..doesnt make sense to me..but who knows maybe your right...
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
I'm not the only one on here that believes that it isn't a reliable benchmark.

Have a look at some of the threads about it.

Since android is a multi-tasking OS results will always vary from test to test in Quadrant.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Blackberrynomore:
Anybody know how to edit the system settings that set the default pre-installed bookmarks in the stock browser? I am using Dolphin for Pad and Dolphin HD but neither of them seems to want to play nice on my 8.9 LTE. So I have to use the stock browser a lot of the time and I absolutely hate that they will not allow you to remove the pre-installed bookmarks. What a bunch of morons forcing that kind of stuff on us. Anyway what file or system setting would possibly eradicate these annoying bookmarks?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
If i setup sync with google crome, it offers to delete all locally stored bookmarks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] modestone:
This apparently does not work anymore, http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=63eebdb9d371658d&hl=en&start=40

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jai134:
Longpress the bookmark and click delete

I don´t know if it´s a difference in the rom between the LTE version and mine. I have a 3g tab
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] modestone:
These are bookmarks that cannot be removed that way, they are carrier forced and protected bookmarks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jai134:
Alright. Sorry. Didn´t know. You can see my edit.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Croak:
Except, of course, that that guy complaining to Google is full of ****. It works. Was working on mine from day 1. And I just factory reset my Tab this morning and set it all up again and it still nukes the AT&T bookmarks just fine when doing a Chrome sync.

Of course, you need to actually have Chrome bookmarks to sync. If you're using Firesux, Suxfari or Exploder, that ain't gonna help. :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] modestone:
At that link I provided to a google forum its not one guy, its many many many people.

I have still yet to get bookmarks to sync properly between chrome and my 8.9 LTE.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
Bookmark sync works for me, on 4 devices. Some time ago i had problems on GT10.1 but i believe this was a problem with Samsung firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] modestone:
Well I finally managed to get rid of those damn ATT bookmarks.

Tried everything, kies sync, chrome sync, all the other things I found on the web.

The only way I was able to get rid of them was to manually edit the browsers sqlite database with SQLite Editor.

Using that I was able to fully nuke those links!

Yay!

Would you mind outlining the steps you took to edit the db file and where you found it in would love to do the same thing.

Meh. That thread just drifts off into "pair it with a phone." The other detailed thread I read was about webos nav. I guess that this is just not a very common need. I mean the touchpad is a bit ungainly to use for road navigation.

[TouchPad General] thekillingtree:
we used a touch pad with cm7 a few months back on our voyage to Montreal from NYC. Once you load up the directions in google maps you should be fine. Of course we would get directions prior to leaving via wifi and in an emergency (just as an unused backup in our case) we could tether to my phone (also running cm7). As a precaution we just took screenshots of certain areas that we wanted to go to. Coffee shops with wifi are your friend.

Anyway, we were just goofing around but the map was really convenient for me as a passenger and for the driver. Benefit of the screen being so large is that you can show it someone who is nearby and they can easily see it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enkrypt3d:
I had the Es task manager widget on my TB and theres no way to add this widget to my home screen with ICS... why do they keep removing features rather than adding them? Grrr any idea how to do this? Thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] X-Ter:
Sometimes when you install an app the widgets don't turn up unless you restart the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Any incompatibility with a widget and ICS is up to the developer of the app/widget to sort out. Its not Google removing features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enkrypt3d:
Actually no bc a long press on the home screen used to allow adding Widgets HTC and Motorola both do this. Its not a Samsung thing bc its 100% stock ics. Another fail for ics. Sigh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
What I'm saying is its not Google's fault. If the app was coded properly for ICS it would show the widget with all of the other widgets via the application drawer. They simply changed the way you add widgets to the homescreen from a long press to a list of widgets in the app drawer. The long press home is part of older versions of Android, not something HTC and Motorola have added.

Google isn't blocking something or intentionally removing compatibility for the widget. Its not their job to make sure every widget from 2.3 works in 4.0, its the devs job to make it show up with the tools Google offers. You're severely misunderstanding and misplacing blame here.
