[HTC Aria General] andersonjacob54:
I've been using the Aria for 2 years now, and just 2 days ago I ran into an unexpected battery drainage problem.

1. When I am speaking during a call and not holding the phone close to my ear, the proximity sensor is not always triggered which causes the screen to stay on. While the screen is on, the battery drains 1% every minute (or every 30s). When I turn the screen off, the drainage is fine.

2. When I receive text messages (voicemails from my landline trigger a text message on my Aria), the battery drainage is very bad (1% per minute or 30s).

I never use data networks (turned off), background data and autosync are both turned off, gps is always off, wifi is always off, screen brightness is always custom at the 3rd lowest brightness setting. Basically, I try to conserve battery life and only use the phone for talking.

When I looked at battery usage, it was mostly due to Android System, Voice Calls, and Cell Standby.

I'm running the very old Liberty Froyo Rom (the version released like 2 years ago) and the default CM7 kernel. Also, I upgraded to the newest radio to fix this problem, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I don't think these things should be causing the problems since it only occurred 2 days ago while these things have been constant.

Any ideas what is going on or what I can do to make my phone last longer? Talking on the phone for 30 min from full charge takes my phone down to 25%...
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
honestly at this point my battery meter is completely wonky. the percents mean nothing now. i still get roughly the same battery life but it'll burn through large chunks of percentage in minutes but sit at a single percent for hours or active use.

i'd say try a new battery
[HTC Aria General] Adam_J_T:
If you've got clockworkmod installed, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. If you're still experiencing this, try a different rom. I've been using CyanogenMod 7 for a long time with no issues.

If this fails, it's probably your battery. It might just be pooped out. If you get a new one always buy and OEM battery! Don't get anything off-brand.
[HTC Aria General] lokodoe:
really? its about the battery? not the OS itself?:confused:
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
after 2 years of use it's safe to assume that it's the battery and no necessarily the rom.
[HTC Aria General] InsanelyMe:
2 years with the same battery? old battery i say and is usually the life expectancy with it. i say you get a new battery. or try charging your battery all the way full. wipe the battery stats. then let your phone die, then completely recharge it all the way up again. that worked for me.
[HTC Aria General] bjoswald:
Battery life with ANY Android phone is hit and miss, but the Aria is notoriously terrible with it. However, there are several "tweaks" you could do to help it (note: I said help, not fix.). Beyond the basic system setting adjustments, I have found the "Die Hard Battery Calibrator" script by zeppelinrox to be helpful. Look for his V6 SuperCharger thread here on XDA to find it (as well as other useful scripts). Of course, the usual caveats apply: S-OFF, root, magic powers, etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iamaspecialneedscase:
Hi I rooted my galaxy s2 and then unrooted it as I did'nt know what to do with it as overclockig and changing cpu frequencies did'nt seem to do anything. I read on your forum bit, that samsung can tell if you have rooted the device or not, how do I avoid that.

When I rooted I downloaded the original Kernal and the yellow triangle went away. Then I unrooted via superoneclick.

Then when I went on to samsung kies the firmware was'nt there, so I did a factory reset and now it is back and is up to date the firmware version is there now.

I'm guessing I should've back my phone up before hand but how and should I have done things the way I did?

My appologies for the war and peace but I am nooob and really want to learn.

What I have learned is off youtube and I could'nt get all the info I wanted, like where to download a safe superone click root.

In the video they used cwm I think but where do you get this and what does this do?

Any help you guys can give me please inbox me so I can learn a bit more.

Thanks guys and girls and all the best for the year ahead.

Kind regards Iamaspecialneedscase.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iamaspecialneedscase:
Where do I get cwm please
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iamaspecialneedscase:
Well guys and girls, I am even more confused now! What is cwm and where do I get it?

If super one click is outdated then what do I use?

I have read quite a few forums but I'm lost, please somebody help!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
I wasn't going to this question because 30 seconds of Googling would give you every answer you want and more but hey, it's new years, and I'm in a festive spirit.

So your question, first, "what is CWM?". CWM (Clockwork mod) is replacement for the standard Samsung recovery suite which allows you, in addition to the standard functions, to restore data, backup data, flash new zips and a wealth of other great stuff. Basically its your best friend when flashing new ROMS, Kernels, etc.

If you want to do anything above and beyond the bog standard tweaking with your phone (basically everything you find here on XDA) you will need to use CWM. It comes with any and every rooted Kernel you flash. Every Kernel which has root will have CWM. So if you had rooted your phone by installing a custom Kernel you would have it. (side note, you get to recovery by holding volume up + home button + power button for a few seconds).

Now down to how to get CWM and to super one click. If you made a timeline of XDA and rooting, super one click would be at the very very start. Its the dinosaur of rooting. I recommend strongly against using it, to be honest I didnt even know you could still use it. Anyway, the best way to root your phone is by flashing a rooted Kernel. I will presume your phone is now unrooted and you are running stock Kernel + stock ROM. You want to download Odin (http://www.mediafire.com/?a54dbk53vhpkjto) and then flash a corresponding rooted Kernel to your ROM (I recommend CF-Root by Chainfire). I'm not going to tell you how to flash stuff with Odin because there are millions of guides out there, just don't tick re-partitioning. What I mean by corresponding is it build of the Kernel should relate to your ROM. If you are running a XWKK5 ROM for example, you would flash a XWKK5 Kernel. It's pretty clear in Chainfire's CF Root thread what the builds of all the Kernels are.

Anyway I hope that helps you, and I hope you're grateful I've just taken 5 minutes to explain to you things that you could have found guides on written by people much more experienced than myself in 2 minutes of googling.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
I thanked you because its New Year! (@postfatal)

Good luck with the rooting and make sure you use the search functions of these forums, a wealth of information is to be had and the stickies are well worth a look!!!

BTW rooting will void your warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iamaspecialneedscase:
Thank you postfatal. I have done some googleing and have read up un quite a bit of stuff, but still getting boggled by all the info.

Maybe I will just give this up as abad job.

Thank you and happy new year.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darwichee:
Hi,

Belive me, i was just like you for 3-4 days ago, and by now i almost can everything that's needed to be known about rooting. Almost everyone here make it sound so hard to rooting, that's because they can't eplain things in "noob languages".

If you still don't know how to do this, PM me back and i will help you.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Actually, Chainfire's CFRoot instructions couldn't be simpler. There's only 10 steps (7 that actually require you to do something) :rolleyes:

I don't see what's difficult about:-

*checking your current kernel

*finding the corresponding CFRoot kernel

*downloading same (and downloading Odin if necessary)

*unzipping the tar

*firing up Odin

*putting your phone in download mode (volume down/home button/power button)

*plugging one end of a USB cable into the USB port on your PC/the other into the USB port of your phone

*clicking on PDA in Odin & navigating to where you saved the CFRoot kernel tar file

*clicking "start"

*waiting until the process completes/Odin saying "OK" then unplug the USB cable/wait for your phone to reboot

Or am I missing something ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] astraelraen:
I posted this over on Android Central as well, but decided to post it here to reach another audience.

I've taken a few videos with my Nexus at 720p and there always seems to be alot of stutter/judder in the video. I haven't really tested 480 or 1080p

I first thought I just wasn't holding the phone steady enough... and that may be some of it. But I have taken 10+ videos and on play back there is always some judder. It's like the video camera app is taking the videos in the wrong FPS or its dropping frames or something. The sound is usually crystal clear and doesn't miss a beat, so I'm guessing it's a frame rate issue.

I viewed all 5 of the videos I took today and the frame rate fluctuations are huge. It makes them practically unwatchable... at least to my eyes.

Frame rate : 17.042 fps

Minimum frame rate : 10.002 fps

Maximum frame rate : 30.040 fps

Frame rate : 18.020 fps

Minimum frame rate : 10.002 fps

Maximum frame rate : 30.040 fps

Frame rate : 30.000 fps

Minimum frame rate : 20.766 fps

Maximum frame rate : 30.040 fps

Frame rate : 30.000 fps

Minimum frame rate : 15.010 fps

Maximum frame rate : 30.040 fps

Minimum frame rate : 15.010 fps

Maximum frame rate : 30.040 fps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
I'd like to know also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
Could this be caused by low light conditions? Sometimes when the light is poor, the camera app will skip some frames to allow enough light to reach the sensor (longer exposure time).

Try again outdoors on a sunny day to see if it's that. It might be possible

to avoid that effect (but have darker videos) by changing the scene mode in the camera preferences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Just tested my camcorder, I get some random studder also on 1080p. Interesting, it was in low light though...

On 720p no judder whatsoever.

Maybe it loses focus for a second so it tries to get it back? I have no idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] astraelraen:
The 5 I posted in the first post were taken outside in sunny conditions at midday. I will try tto take a few more today to test it again.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L33t Masta:
I haven't heard ANYTHING in the past few weeks about ICS, it's status, the work anyone else is doing (except Leo and Xron) or even the possibility of any updates to the beta we're on now. I've heard rumours of a min Jan launch for ICS on our TP, but can anyone else confirm?

Yes yes their one silly rule of not asking about when it's done. I didn't ask just about CM specifically, I also stated "the work anyone else is doing". I'm just looking for people keeping their ears to the ground and hearing things about whatever might be going on from whomever.

That's all we know for now. Hope that their work on ICS is so successfull that they literally have no time to post about updates ;)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikerage:
The vB2.8 Xron thread in the device forum has Leo talking all the time about how he's getting other really great devs involved. I'm sure 2.9 will be out soon, but CM9 is a different story.

Devs are always hard at work. They like to tinker... Patience is key. As for right now, Xron is good enough for me. I use it every day. Can do anything with it besides Skype (although I really haven't tried that yet).

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L33t Masta:
Xron is pretty awesome. I'm thinking about getting a native android tablet like a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (someone is selling a brand new one for $300) and just selling this Touchpad. Maybe I'll wait it out and see. Has anyone had any issues with the casing cracking on their touchpad? What can I do to get warranty?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leoisright:
i will buy your touchpad if you decide to sell... I know a few devs ready and willing to buy it. This will have ICS long before Galaxy will have a good working one.

It will be a little bit for ICS. It's being worked on by whom I consider the best in the industry. Problem is we have NO GOOGLE or HP support for the touchpad. Then top it off we have a dual boot situation. Tonight I booted webOS for the first time in a month. That lasted an hour then back to android.

There is no way in Hell I would consider giving up my touchpad. No other tablet will have dual boot with two fantastic operating systems along with one that has native beats leaving the door cracked open for beats in android.

But, if you can't wait, name the price and what type of TP you have.

Thanks,

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L33t Masta:
It's a 32 GB wifi Touchpad. I'm having a lot of issues with the casing getting cracks along the speakers and charging port. HP better warranty this. Apparently it's happened to a lot of people. Like I said, I don't know what I'm going to do yet. It works alright right now, a little on the heavy side and I have a few android phones I can sell to make up the $300 someone wants for their brand new never opened Galaxy Tab 10.1. I bought the HP Touchpad knowing that because WebOS was linux based that Android would be possible eventually. It's just development is moving a long a little too slowly. That's not including your ROM though, Leo. You're doing some awesome work for the tablet and in fact am the only reason why I'm holding on to it this long. But eventually the weight thing might be the swaying factor and the fact that a naively supported device is going to have so many less issues and small problems.

We'll see what I decide to do. I have someone looking at a few phones I threw up for sale and what HP says about the warranty on this thing. Max I would make you pay? The original $157.50 I paid for it plus shipping.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touchhp:
well the cracks around the speakers is cosmetic. Contact HP Support they will replace the casing.

I had the same issue with my TP. The customer support was good. They sent me a return box and label. All you have to do is to pack you TP as per instructions and drop it at nearby UPS store. I received the repaired TP within a week.

Act fast before the warranty expires.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajingo:
Do you really expect these guys to be working on this much over Christmas? They have lives too, you know. Xron has become a great ROM lately as well and is getting new releases all the time. I'm sure ICS will be out some time this month.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reverendkjr:
My contacts tell me that making ICS for the Touchpad is almost like starting over. They have to get the drivers and all the goodies fixed before anything even close to stable can be released. It's sort of like when we waited for Gingerbread to come out. Man, it seemed like it took forever, but it was WELL worth the wait.

Patience, young ones.:cool:
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L33t Masta:
Well I called HP and told them that it's cracking. They said they're going to send me a box that I can send the Touchpad back in and they'll fix the casing or give me a new one. I think I might end up getting it replaced, not touching it for fear of possible cracking AGAIN and wait to see what we're gonna get with ICS. Since we have all month to wait anyway it's a good time to send this Touchpad back to get it replaced. I just need to make sure I uninstall all the android based stuff and reset partitions so they don't see what I did.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueYears:

Sounds very promising... the first CM7 alpha had a lot more broken than that.

And guys, if there is a release in the next week or 2 as I think there will be, then this means the Touchpad will be getting an ICS port before most HC tablets except the Xoom, so that's pretty amazing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
As far as rooting and flashing go, how compatible are the ROMs? I'm assuming a GSM ROM wouldn't work on the CDMA phone, but are they equally supported? Do devs make ROMs that work on both devices? I don't think I've ever had a phone with both CDMA and GSM versions widely used.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Quite a few of the roms have cdma and GSM versions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
Are the downloads separate or can the same ROM be flashed on both devices? Looking at the dev section, I don't see a whole lot of ROMs with two download links even though some of them mention the LTE version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopstix9:
There are two Dev Forum links. One for GSM and one for VZW cdma phones only. Check the Verizon Dev forum for the cdma specific ROMS. The GSM came out earlier so the development is lagging a bit behind for the Verizon phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
Please don't flash a GSM ROM on your Verizon device or vice versa. But, then, you're (hopefully) just asking if your favorite GSM ROMs have CDMA counterparts... In that case I can only suggest browsing the CDMA development section...

As you probably know, the Galaxy Nexus has an option under developer settings to limit the number of apps that run in the background. I set it to 4 apps but every time I reboot the phone, it reverts back to the default setting.

I wouldn't monkey around with that setting. Its not meant to be a user control to manage background apps. Its meant for devs to use for testing how their app performs/reacts in the background.
