[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hello. As far as I know, usually there are only 2 issues. Hardware and software.

The rom itself uses the stock Acer drivers. So I would guess some software app has caused this, as most hardware normally fails within the first day or so after using. 75% of the time anyhow.

I would do this, make a system backup. Then flash the rom fresh, doing all the wipes/format as in the Original Post. Then you can be sure if it's hardware or software that is causing the issue. That's what I would do.

Or, you can keep your current setup, and uninstall apps in reverse chronological order, checking the camera after each.

Also, if you are overclocked, you can set cpu to 1000. Just to test.

Without knowing how all your apps behave, I wouldn't know which app may be messing with the camera drivers.

My first suggestion would offer the best solution just to rule out hardware.

screen is showing 89% usage on battery while I am setting animation off, screen brightness to the lowset & marking auto brightness

How long approximately should the power last if I keep on 3G data connection on?

I get a good 10 or so hours, but thats with tasker with heavy profiles during night, custom brightness settings and turning wifi and 3g off when not required. ( i charge when i get home, i work 10 hour days, and i dont charge all day, and i still sometimes have juice left when i get home)

Back to my previous post.

Moscow i just reflashed over the top, no wipes, just cleared cache and everything is ack to normal.

Back to 1600mhz :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
About 10 for me also, when I don't use my 3D Launcher SPB Shell :D This is based on normal usage and not on the entire time. But I rarely ever need to worry about power. Lowest I ever got was 52% when I got home. I use mine as a mobile office, and rarely play games. Sometimes maybe a film for awhile.

But it all depends on how often you are using it and what your'e running (music, video, etc), so it's difficult to say.

As with your 89% display, that reading means that while your tab was active, your display was responsible for 89% of the battery power that was used. Not overall. So it's pretty normal.

Setting your Governor in your cpu app to "interactive" will also increase life a little bit. Also setting Profiles in your cpu app. (clock speed reduced based on battery life remaining). But you have to get the paid app I believe.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Good Deal!

And what are ya doing running a HC 2.3 app (Tasker)??? :rolleyes:

But really, if it works for you, I won't complain.

Glad the camera issue is resolved (not that the rear camera on the tab is very good to begin with) ;) Hope they put a better camera in the 701 :D

I have the 3.2.1 build about finished, but looking for a couple of testers.

I'm going to stick with my Desire. At least for the next year or so. Although I do like the Desire-s I got for the wife. I haven't "molested" hers yet ;)

My tab, replaced my phone, for everything but phone calls through the network.

Funny though, when at the restaraunt, everyboy tosses their phones on the table. I throw down my Iconia... strange looks.....

Then I hit "wifi kill", and they all have blank looks... :D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] ordio:
Ahh nice. I tried to do that with my Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 (even flashed with euro ROM so I can get phone calls on it) however I still like having my phone itself.

I find it hard to bring my Iconia everywhere other than work. Its not as easy to hide compared to the galaxy tab.

My wife has the Telus Samsung fascinate 4g (t959p) . Basically my phone but 4g speeds. Won that one at a gowalla contest (like 4sq). It is still running froyo as I haven't had a chance to upgrade it to gingerbread yet.

What is wifi kill? Never heard of it.

Afaik, Wifikill is sort of a "reversed wake on lan"; it scans the network for Wifi enabled devices and allows you to turn them off "magically" ;)

Correct me if i'm wrong

More specifically,,,, Apple products :D as they have unique identifiers.....

Ok, no need to fill my rom thread with this!

Take it to the general forum. And it's my fault, I know :D... once a holligan,,,, always a holligan.
[Motorola Photon 4G] obender:
I have this small but very annoying problem with a stock contacts.

When I have the calling card phone numbers in a single contact that all starts with the same 1800 number and then after the pause (,) the actual number to call, the contacts app shows only the first one.

Example:

contact with

18000000000,0110000000001

18000000000,0110000000002

18000000000,0110000000003

Shows only the first entry for the phone available to dial.

Any solutions? I've tried a few third party apps but those that show the numbers correctly don't dial it. They basically skip the , in the dialer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello people, I have a rather peculiar issue with my SII

I have had this issue for some time now and really doesnt bother me that much, its just annoying. And its just now that I have bothered writing a post about it.

If Ive run out of battery, I plug my phone into the charger, turn it on while its charging, I get no service, not prompted to input PIN and get the Uknown IMEI\baseband version. But if I let it charge a couple of minutes, unplug the charger and turn it on, everything works fine. Whats going on here?

I think this problem occured after installing one of bmarko's MIUI roms. I have since full wiped and restored stock rom. Upgraded two new official samsung roms as they have been released, currently running XWKI8 unrooted completely stock and the issue still persist.

I have searched around and there are similar cases out there but not really any clear solutions. Theres even a post over at cyanogenmods forum site, but no replies.

As said earlier its not really a big issue for me, not expecting a immediate solution but I would really like to understand the problem if someone has the information since I dont have the technical competence to understand it myself. I obviously havent corrupted or lost anything in my efs folder since its working without the charger, or? Could there be remains of a bug from another rom still in the system causing this?

Any replies would be appreciated, thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xianduras:
Same Problem

Hey FlipTrick,

I got exactly the same problem. Dont remember how it happened exactly, but do remember I didn't do anything exotic. Can't display my IMEI, unknown baseband version and no prompt for my PIN.

I Tried several things:

- Reflashed the advised codeworx kernel using odin.

- ReInstalled CM 7.1 and tried nightly version.

- Reflashed different RADIO ROMS from XDA (goo.gl/TjoaM)

Nothing worked. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Or know what I could try next?

Greetings,

Xianduras
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I had this problem once when I used a jig to reset the flash counter. Given the modem (and the IMEI) wasn't showing up in the phone details, I reflashed the modem which fixed it.

Occasionally after a reboot my modem/IMEI details take around 20-30 seconds to appear, but they've never not turned up/left me without service apart from that one occasion.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
problem gone?!

Problem seems to be gone, noticed it after flashing Hydrog3n rom. Cant say if thats the solution though, havent tested it for awhile and i've flashed alot of roms :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ownaginatious:
So I have a data-plan on my phone, and that's it. The actual 'phone plan' is all VoIP, so the only time I need the phone's 3G radio on is when I'm not connected to a wifi network.

I've found many programs that can automatically do an action when I connect/disconnect from wifi, but for some reason I cannot find an app that just disables the phone radio. Airplane mode is not desirable because it disables all connections. I've found programs that attempt to modify which radios are disabled in airplane mode, but it seems like none of them are capable of leaving the bluetooth radio on. I always need wifi + bluetooth on, but the best I can do is airplane mode with wifi, and that's it.

Now I know it's possible to manually disable the phone radio and nothing else under phone info. Does anyone know of any applications that will press the 'turn off radio' button for me? Preferably, I would want two; one that turns off the radio, and one that turns it on so that I can coordinate the actions in my automating program.

Also, in case anyone is planning on saying 'herp derp you can reenable wifi and bluetooth manually after going into airplane mode', NO that is not what I want.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You could try this app: http://www.appbrain.com/app/airplane-mode-modifier/com.wparam.airsettings and you could also check out this script: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1217038.

NB.: You cannot enable bluetooth while in airplane mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ownaginatious:
The first application I already tried, and although it works for wifi, it doesn't work for bluetooth for some unknown reason.

That second script is interesting; I can turn off the mobile radio, but I can't turn it back on. The guy that wrote that post seems like kind of a tool for acting like he just wrote a script, when really his entire script consists of only:

#!/system/bin/sh
#!/system/bin/radiooptions

radiooptions 1

I checked the radiooptions API, and radiooptions 5 is supposed to turn the radio back on... but it doesn't seem to work.

Hopefully somebody knows a way around this :/.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Short answer: You'll want to block future OTA updates from B&N, lest they break root. You can always upgrade after you're sure everything will work with a new version.

[TouchPad General] jsepps:
I've had my tp for a while but have yet to do much with it. I plan on putting some version of android eventually. Do I have to overclock for both OS? Should I just overclock webos and just go from there?
[TouchPad General] xxmastermindxx:
You don't *have* to overclock, however you have the option to.

I have just my Android system using any overclocking, through SetCPU. My WebOS system is still pretty stock.
[TouchPad General] Moshe5368:
Changes to the clock speed under WebOS will not effect the android install. They are 2 different operating systems with their own boot loader. I have found that running at stock speeds under android and webos provides good performance. Overclocking is great if you want to run very intense games but most run quite well at stock speeds. Remaining at stock speed also improves battery life.
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
In webOs, I use Uberkernel @ 192 min and 1.7 max. In android, I use master cpu (free app in market), to set speed @ 384 min and 1.7 max.

I get about 7+ hours in webOs and a little less in android with normal (not heavy) use.

Do a search for overclock and you'll find plenty of info on the subject.

You don't have to overclock, but I find it makes the TP smoother and faster. My opinion.
[TouchPad General] jsepps:
I know I dont have to overclock but it does seem a little laggy with WebOS for some things

thanks for the input guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njkeys4:
Hello Everyone I have a Galaxy Nexus and love it. My only question is how will this GPU hold up in the long run. Right now it does pretty well (not as well as my 4s though) but also can sometimes stutter and lag. It runs nearly every game pretty well. My question is how soon will it be when it will no longer be able to handle higher end games? So I guess the question remains is it worth waiting for tegra 3. I do not need the best graphics ever but do enjoy for the games to run well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Are u on 4.0.2? The stuttering isn't due to the gpu being weak it has to due with the sw. 4.0.3 adds some performance enhancements which will mostly fix the lag and stuttering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njkeys4:
4.0.3 will help stuttering in games?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekspernikai:
The SGX540 is older, but it is also clocked higher than before and integrated in new ways into the OMAP4460. Now, as a comparison to the 4S? Not even close. Apple went all out, the SGX543 MP2 blows the Nexus' GPU out of the water. Completely. If gaming is your primary focus, it is the wrong phone. That said, I have experienced zero lag in games, and I've tried all the major titles. I haven't modified my phone at all. I think the phone will start to show its age in about a year or so, when the next Nexus device is released. However, the same will happen with the 4S. I don't think it will be the GPU in that device, but rather the RAM, the 3G speeds, etc.

All technology has a short lifespan.

edit: Typos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I'm not sure what game(s) you are trying to play, but so far I've just tried out Sentinel 3 on my Nexus. While I was on 4.0.2, overall system performance seemed to be sluggish. Now that I am on 4.0.3 it's improved. Sentinel 3 was indeed laggy on 4.0.2 yet it's mostly gone now on 4.0.3 The game did perform better on my old phone, but I feel it's just a matter of the developer improving support for this phone's GPU.

As for Tegra 3, the question is.. "when?" Asus & HTC have stated they have new Tegra 3 devices in the works but vague ETA's on them. For all we know it could be like the Bionic and get released many months after they were supposed to be. Only time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
ASUS Transformer Prime is already out in some retailers/etailers, but it is not mainstreamly sold due to demand. My friend got one from Frys the other day. Also, Amazon has started shipping some Transformer Primes to preorderers.

.. So yeah, they're already being shipped out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njkeys4:
Thanks I am aware of Transformer Prime but I am looking phones. And the main game I noticed lag was GTA III. And if I can get 8 months with it I would be more then happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I thought the Transformer Prime was a tablet though, not a phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You mentioned ASUS. When it comes to ASUS, first thing I think about is their recognition in tablets. I know they're making a phone but no one really thinks about phones when people say ASUS.

But any regards, gaming on a tablet would probably be more preferable because the screen is so much bigger. At least for me, so you might want to look into that and see if it is something you'd want to invest your money in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
oh... me?... well, i was planning on getting a transformer prime myself(eventually). but yeah they have their "padafone" cell phone that's tegra 3 and supposedly coming out 1st q 2012. curious on how that progresses.

that padafone looks very uncompelling with the exception of the tegra 3. Would much rather nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I have not seen any games yet that don't perform well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
same GPU as nexus s, approx 20% higher performance but needs to push 2x as many pixels. Performance (framerate) is notieceably worse than my nexus s. For example, that backbreaker game runs at 60fps on my NS, its prolly around 40ish

Its not a big deal for me since I mostly play simple time waster games on my phone. I ave a PS3 and laptop for when I really want to game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
Honestly, I kind of laugh at the whole Tegra 3 thing. Because I ask myself "why?"

Nvidia is rushing out the door with their quad core (there's even a secret fifth core as well!) Tegra 3 when most of us still remember the Tegra 2 and how crappy it was on that first-generation of Honeycomb tablets.

I owned an original Transformer with the Tegra 2 and couldn't even play 720p videos properly. Of course part of the issue is codecs as well and the Galaxy Nexus as a vanilla Android device isn't great on that front either... still, I can't help but feel Nvidia is rushing forth with this quad-core thing when nobody else is there yet simply because their previous offering was so mediocre.

I mean they had to devise the whole unnecessary "optmized for Tegra" games thing to make it look like the Tegra SoCs are something special when they are at best competitors to other SoCs.
