I bet you installed an app that is doing a soft wake lock for some reason. It might be a poorly written app that is waking and not releasing the lock until it performs some kind of task, such as sending info over the net. It's possible that turning on WiFi might actually help, but the real solution is to find the app and get rid of it because if that is the case, it might be holding the lock until a net connection is established.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
I am about to open a can of worms here.

You should not use task killers in android. The why android handles memory is very different to windows. While I agree with the poster that suggests that you kill the app that is keeping the wake lock on, task killers in general on Android are a bad thing. Rather then typing all of the reasons this is a good link that explains how android uses memory and why task killers end up costing more battery life rather then saving it. http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them

I have the same battery drain problem too. It's been really frustrating seeing the battery drains so fast.

Last night, I tried to leave the wi-fi on while I am sleeping (7 hours) the battery status was 90%. When I woke up, it shows 30% battery left.

Are there any recommendations or apps to save the battery?

Thanks :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Can you guys try doing a hard reset with nothing installed and test it with wifi off overnight. See if you get the same result. If you dont then its something you installed. If you are still getting the same result maybe try to recalibrate the battery.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] fairgun:
Thank you. I will try that tonight.

By the way, hard reset is by inserting paper clip on the reset button on the bottom right?

Will this erase my data?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheUndertaker21:
Yeah try it

Hi i have a question about services memory consumption.

When I reboot phone services takes about 100Mb of ram. But as days passes that number keeps growing. sometimes it goes to 200Mb.

And I am not talking about listed services, I have no problems with those my question is regarding some not listed services.

I tried searching forums but I anc't find any info about this.

Also this happens with stock and other roms, and even with different combination of kernels.

[HTC Incredible S] Timbits93:
Sorry for a stupid question :p

But i'm just so confused with all the several stock roms that HTC offers and i just want to figure out which unbranded stock rom (don't require root) should i go with that would receive updates as they get released and would play nice with the Bell Incredible S S710a?

Also if i'm correct, after i S-OFF the device, i just need to install the recovery and then i can just flash the rom throug the recovery (just as i did with my X10) or is there something i'm missing (looking through these guides - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145541 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036581)?

Help? :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
How did you S-OFF? Did you use Revolutionary? If so that is the difference. My was unlocked and S-OFF using the XTC Clip so I didn't need to use Revolutionary.
[HTC Incredible S] Timbits93:
Yeah i used Revolitionary, don't have or know anyone with a XTC Clip :P

Meh, might just give up and try flashing the Android Revolution HD rom (since it's essentially that rom, just cleaned up).

Thanks though!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yeah that is the best course of action since you have the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT. It is going to prevent you from installing the official IncS Sense 3.0 RUU/ROM. I tried to build a rooted, stock ROM from the 3.08.405.3 RUU/ROM for you guys, but it will only boot if you have the official HBOOT 2.00.0000. It will not boot on the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT.
[HTC Sensation] Kellicros:
My Sensation is could not be recognized by a computer, even in hboot, i tried a few computers, none of them worked. But then when I try plugging it through a usb hub, it magically worked! albeit it works quite slow as it complains about not being USB 2.0, etc. Now this is really work, the phone can only be recognized when plugged via a hub, anyone knows what might be causing this?

PS, I tried another cable, both worked on my DHD perfectly but same problem with Sensation.

EDIT: I tried a usb 2.0 hub and it doesnt work, i think my phone's usb 2.0 is messed up.
[HTC Sensation] Kellicros:
Anyone knows of a firmware i should try flashing that would probably fix this?

it seems like even it gets connected to usb 1.0 hub, large file trasnfer(eg: a new rom) would still still halt halfway.

Tried a third cable and I am now starting to wonder if it is hardware related, i would off order a usb connector module off ebay, or send it to get fixed, but i wanna make sure it isnt software related...

btw, anyone knows how much technical skill would i need to replace the module? if it doesnt require soldering i am pretty confident to do it, i mean i had replaced the earpiece on my dhd before, now that was easy!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] darrencoen:
my maps application is basically non functioning since upgrading to the 6.x versions. takes forever to load, locate position, some street names get visually distroted somehow, etc.

im running the latest cm7.1 and the latest maps app. i've cleared the data on the app, even gone so far as to clear the dalvik and reboot in hopes that it might have some effect. it hasn't.

i've decided to try to downgrade to cm6 to try out the updated maps app and it runs totally fine there.

what could the possible solution to this be?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] darrencoen:
fyi this is an example of the street name issue i am having. this isnt limited to street names either as some of the data layers seem to just render wonky.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tenpin:
Try a different rom possibly? Or just stick to the old maps? :/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhapsody01:

Sometimes I even have an orange colored square layer on top of the map.

Here is a screenshot of what I described in my previous post.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bharat_goku:
Its not a rom problem its gmaps issue just Google an older version like 5.8n run it...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lobedoc:
Maps working for me, very well.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] darrencoen:
rhapsody, i researched this pretty thoroughly on here. the general consensus is to downgrade to a non 6.x version of maps.

some suggest 5.5 is the version that worked best on the hero. 5.12 was the last version released before moving to 6.x. so yeah, just google "maps 5.5 apk" or whatever version you want and you'll find it.

the second part of this is that i have given up on ginger based roms. after doing a bunch of flashing back and forth between cm 6.1 and 7.1 and installing multiple different versions of maps, i concluded that all versions ran better on 6.1 and the whole interface was much snappier.

good luck
[Hero, G2 Touch General] karrim:
Yeah I also tested that lower version of GMaps works much better.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhapsody01:
Thanks for your replies guys.

Now I'm wondering why all devs keep on including maps 6 in their roms ...

I also tried to revert back to a 2.1 rom with maps 6 but ended up with the same issues.

Will stick to CM 7.1 and try to downgrade Maps to V5.5.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] denverguy:
I am one of those samsung Galaxy s2 from t-mobile owners who are annoyed by the screen issues of this phone (blobs ,vertical lines,etc) had to exchange the phone while i was within the remorse period ,but the problem was still there,then sent the phone to samsung repair ,they replaced the LCD

now I have less blobs ,overall better screen but i can still see a bunch of vertical line especially with grey and blue colors,

they thing is I noticed that the camera is defective,It produces pics with a pink circular patch at the center .

should I contact t-mobile for a replacement (they will send me a refurbished device which might have a worse screen than mine now) ? Or I'd better send it again to samsung repair to fix the camera ?

your feedbacks are appreciated !

samsung won't send a replacement ;they will just fix or "try" to fix the phone

while tmobile will send a replacement phone (which is more likely a refurbished device)then i will have to send the "defective "device back later,which is a good thing so i won't have to wait without the phone for a couple of weeks

but my concern is that the replacement phone might have a bad screen like many others(as we hear lot of stories here)

Unfortunately there is not much else you can do for water. Maybe let it sit on a window seal in the sun with the back off. Just to try to get any remaining water out. More than likely it will not come back.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] homephysician:
Hi thanks for the replies. The water marks are not pink. When at the recovery window the recovery goes to the htc white screen. The crc calculates. Its been more than a week. The only reason I thought there might be some hope is because it does go to the recovery window. I also notice small pin holes in the back cover. Maybe a master reset or some hope. Thanks again for the help. hp
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
if the water marks are not turned you can file a warranty claim but that is risky due to not knowing what is inside the phone. The outter marks are harder to turn than inner water marks.

Try just letting it dry out like myself and others have said. You do not want to screw things up more messing with it vs letting it work its self out.

Thanks man. I don't have insurance on it. But I do appreciate all the responses.

thanks but...., i and now you all know it has water damage. for me to go in to verizon and play dumb would be deceitful. the phone is expensive but not worth lying about. i have to face an all mighty God some day, and possibly sooner than later. its just not worth the risk to me. but i do thank you all for the suggestions. be blessed and happy new year to all. hp
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
Not sure if it's been a week, but there could still be water in it. I dropped my old iPhone in the toilet, and by the time got it out, the screen was flickering and it was resting randomly. I took it entirely apart and found lots of spots where water reached. Dried them all out, and it still works fine to this day.

At this point, you have nothing to loose, so I'd sit down at a clean table with some small screwdrivers and start tearing it down. I'm sure there are diagrams on the web showing how it comes apart. In addition to water, because of the time that has elapsed, look for spots of corrosion - light green to white dust or flakes. If you see any, you can try brushing it away with a small paintbrush. If the water has all dried up and it's still not working, there has to be a short (or several) somewhere. You might get lucky, and like I said, you have nothing to loose.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
Your honesty is much appreciated! Fraudulent warranty claims affect all of us.

If you still haven't gotten it working I recommend a bath in rubbing alcohol for about 30-40 seconds. The higher the alcohol percentage the better, I prefer the 90% stuff. Then another overnight sit in rice. Do both of these with the back cover and battery both removed.

I know it sounds a bit strange to put it in liquid but the alcohol will dilute the water and make it evaporate much faster. The rice will further accelerate this process. I have done it before with great results and at this point you can't do much more harm to it if it isn't even turning on.

Best of luck!

My friend spilled milk all over her phone, and it wouldn't turn on. I told her to put it in alcohol, and a month later it still works, if a little funny sometimes. But yes, it is important to remove the battery, and the sd card. And let it sit for a while afterwards.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
Do you know what alcohol does to the LCD screen...

It left a permanent color band pattern on my 6800.

If you are going to put alcohol any where near it I would do it with a Q-Tip with the covers removed.

Find an old tire compressor, the 12V type and modify the intake of the compressor to connect a suction tube to it.

Swab the area around the components with a soggy Q-Tip (avoid running any on the LCD screen) and work it in with an old tooth brush (make sure the toothbrush is very clean, you don't want to smear any fluoride residue on the solder mask of the circuit board).

Then power up the pump and suck up the excess residue.

Wen prepping the unit, you may want to open all of those ribbon cable clamps.

That's the first place corrosion wants to grow.

Just be sure to handle those cables with care.

The copper traces within them is very thin.

If there is any corrosion on the contacts of the cables, lightly use a pencil eraser on them by holding it flat on a surface add rubbing in one direction away from the main part out to the end.

Good luck...:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
Hmm... I never thought about that but I can definitely see how damage to the screen is possible. I have never seen it happen to phones that I or anyone I know have tried it on but I have never tried it on a touchscreen phone, which could definitely be different.

I discovered this morning that USB debugging mode MUST BE OFF for Kies to recognize and connect to the phone. I'm currently backing up my device in this mode right now.

"Kies Air" also works well, without having to worry about any USB issues.

"Droid Explorer" connects fine with debugging turned on. I have to wait until backup is complete to see if it works with debugging turned off.

I'm having USB port issues right now, so your mileage may vary.
