[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Moodaleon:
flick your 3G connection to 2G/GSM and make it as default in Setting->Wireless-> Mobile networks. You may notice a big difference.

BTW, I notice with ardatdat's new kernel my phone battery actually last longer than a fully stock 2.3.6 KK5. I think I m flashing back to ardatdat's :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
In the stats that you posted, you say that your battery time is 1d 54m. Is that on a single charge?

Have you noticed any battery backup improvement after rooting? I had thought of not rooting it till a custom ROM is available but I'll do it if it helps my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Guess I'll try his kernel then. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] henkmasterpro:
Yes, that's on a single charge. I haven't notice a big difference of battery life between the stock kernel and ardatdat's kernel unless the performance ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] andrew051974:
1. There is a problem after wi-fi on/off on some 2.3.4 ROMs (at least russian one)

how to check the problem:

turn wi-fi on, turn wi-fi off (not sure if you should done establishing connection to interent)

then put phone on stand by

check if it consumed about 30% of battery after 8 hours of sleep (normally 2-4%)

2. Also there is kernel related problem

Since it upgraded to 2.6.36 there is issue - too much kworker/u processes started when device goes sleep and wakes up several times.

So, install root, advanced task kill or terminal emulator and kill those processes (as well as some other)

Turn off background synchronization, e-mails, social hubs and other internet related applications if not needed.

My current battery status: 63%, since 2 days 9 hours abd 14 mins of use
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
How can I check my Kernel?

Sorry for the noob question. New to android.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] andrew051974:
Menu button

Settings

Last menuitem - About the phone

There is string like this:

Kernel version

2.6.36.3-I9103...

But don't bother... We should have all 2.6.36 kernel by default
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Thanks.

Flashed ardatdat's kernel. Rooted now. Will be monitoring battery and freeze whatever bloatware puts too much stress on the battery. :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Huxflux:
I have the same wifi problem on swedish 2.3.4 rom, even after turning of wifi it draws a lot of power, only reboot helps.

If i reboot after using wifi, and dont start it again the battery last for several days with moderate use.

Does the root/kernel change correct that wifi issue?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Will get back to you with that, but currently it seems that either the answer is yes or the 'bug' hasn't hit yet cause even after switching wifi off, the battery backup went back to what it should be, though I haven't had a lot of standby time. Will take it off the charger before sleeping and get final results tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Finnbeck:
Battery issue

Hi.

I got the same problem, on stock rom. Fully charged before going too sleep, 60% battery when i wake up in the morning. Standby mode, 3G and WiFi off. I searched the net and found somethig about the sd-card, dont remenber the site. I removed my sd card (16 GB class4 SanDisk micro-sd), (slot is free) and now it drains about 1% over night instead of 40%. Before it last 1 day with average use, now it last 4 days. I hope sw uppgrade will fix the problem.

Regards

Hi:

Are there any workaround on the Energy Rom dilemma I have?

When I wipe cache, some apks and weather videos are removed. I know that this rom put it in the cache (I dunno why). I wipe cache to get some internal memory space.

Please help. (aside from the suggesting to not wipe cache)

thank you!

Before rooting, I was able to stream movies through Flixster. Now when I click Watch Now, all I get is the Initializing popup and nothing happens. I am still able to play trailers and download movies through it, just can no longer stream the full movie.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
Try OTA RootKeeper. It allowed me to watch full movies on the Nook Tablet via Flixster after rooting.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wishmasterdjl:
im currently running cm7 and was wondering if there was anyway of having more pages and how to change the main dock
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JovanRis:
You can get some changes by changing some settings in Menu>Settings>ADWlauncher

But I'll suggest getting another home application like GO Launcher EX which is much more customizable.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wishmasterdjl:
will that give me more pages and a sense like launcher with the curve
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JovanRis:
I'm using GO launcher EX and I can add as much pages as I want :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkoze:
the CM7 launcher has up2 7 pages that you can add and remove as necessary. Press "menu" on the home page then press "edit"

If you want to change the dock, there are a few styles in ADW Settings but search 'custom docks' in the forum search bar, there are loads of customizable options.

Launcher Pro Plus seems to be the best option (paid launcher pro)

I'm happy with ADW laucher.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
plenty of launchers to use, choose the one you like and customize as needed.
[General Questions and Answers] Honeycomb_Hater:
Hello fellow Android-ers......

Will a custom Launcher Homescreen Theme circumvent the Honeycomb System Bar ?

Recently I bought a Dell Streak 7. It had Honeycomb installed when I got it.

The screen is way too small for Honeycombs system bar, and its a less pleasant experience than it should be.

I don't want to root the tablet. I really haven't the Android knowledge to do that.

I wanted to ask if a custom Homescreen ( like SPB Shell , ADW Launcher or Go Launcher ) app would get rid of the system bar.

When I read the app descriptions on the Marketplace it would seem that it does replace the system bar with whatever navigation tools the custom home theme employs.......

.......however, several hours of searching on Google for ways to get rid of the system bar without rooting the phone would indicate that the Honeycomb system bar will be there no matter what as long as the phone is running Honeycomb.....

Might there be any other ways to get rid of the system bar without rooting ?

I appreciate any insight you may be able to offer. Thank You!
[General Questions and Answers] Jesushaxyou:
I'm not 100% about the Honeycomb part but I know on my Droid 2 I installed ADW launcher and the status bar was different. I'd say try it, it couldn't hurt. Worse comes to worst you uninstall it and end up back at square one lol.
[General Questions and Answers] dennisxl:
The system bar is not part of the launcher, so you won't be able to hide it with a home replacement app.
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
ADW EX allows you to hide the Status Bar while you are on your Homescreens. It won't help when you are within an App though.
[General Questions and Answers] Honeycomb_Hater:
Well that's not really what I wanted to hear , but, its still good news :)

The resolution on the streak in Honeycomb is pretty small and the icons get pretty tiny.....

At least I will be able to navigate more easily with a Homescreen Launcher.

Thanks very much for the info !

I wish I had bought ADW EX when it was $0.10 now lol.

Thanks again

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
I currently have the TPU Black Matte and it is quite a good case,... good fit, but not so much when it comes to protection. Has anyone seen either the Acase or an Aegis case for our phone about? Every time I do a search, I get fed non-Spint Galaxy SII Options or cases for the original slider Epic 4G. Any other options I should be looking at? Kinda given up on Otterbox after all the fitment complaints I've read about and my experience with the Evo 4G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
Just got the Aegis case from this site:

http://www.cyclopscase.com/epic-4g-touch/

Used Code TOM25% to get 25% off so with free shipping it was a little over $18. Love the case especially for the price! If you decide you like them check what color you want first on tridents website because they still dont have pictures on cyclopscase website.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Is this a new case? Pictures? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
yes its a new here is the link to the official company website:

http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch/

I am very pleased with it myself...there is another thread here somewhere with some more reviews...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
The Aegis case has been out for a couple months now. I got it when it was first released and I still love it. I don't use it that much anymore because I prefer something slimmer, but when I'm on the job that's my go to case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
how do AUX wires fit?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
Thanks for the link beseen, just ordered one. The coupon code was still active, so saving a little over 11 bucks on the $30 price tag Trident has on their website. Free shipping just means I'll get it sometimes in Juvember. That's cool though, I'll just keep rolling with the TPU until it gets here. If this Aegis is as well built and thought out as the Evo 3D Aegis, I'll be satisfied. I'll still wonder about the Acase, it's gotten nice reviews too.

How responsive is the volume rocker and sleep button?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
cool :) i think my case came in about a week after I ordered it....going from the TPU case myself the buttons are not even comparable...You'll actually probably have to get used to how easy it is to use them :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
Yeah, I'm figuring about a week too. You know, the volume rocker design is the only I have with the TPU. I mean if you want slim and your mission is to protect beauty, there ain't a better case in my opinion. They fit like a glove, easy battery changes if needed, very easy on adding weight and girth, and won't scratch the E4GT from within. What more can you ask,... oh yeah, price! But I'm looking to protection more than just a pretty face when it comes to this phone. And I'm done with Otterbox. I mean they stand behind their products like a champ,... but what's the utility in getting a replacement case that's bringing to the table the same issues the original case brought. Oh well,... the deed is done. I'll be rocking Aegis in a couple days. And I'm happy,... I think! Plus I read somewhere that Otterbox has decided to not even touch the E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Can someone please tell me how car AUX cables fit? The wire is pretty thick and they do not fit on my tpu s line hybrid case
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
You mean your car hook up has a Mini USB jack that connect to your phone, and you wanna to know if the case's USB port opening is large enough so that it doesn't impede the connection between your car's cable and the phone's Mini USB port. Right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
The TPU case may offer more protection than you are imagining...

(your imagination I hope is where this belief comes from - let us know if your TPU case has been put to the drop test and the results!)

The TPU material seems like one of the best compromises for impact protection - hard enough that it wouldn't just mush away from an impact, but soft enough that it could absorb impact shock without transferring it all directly to the phone.

On a hard impact, a slightly flexible material will deform and absorb the shock, protecting your phone from damage - like "crumple zones" on your car. Best the car deform and absorb the shock and save your life than be rigid, transfer the shock of impact to you and damage YOU.

In the case of a phone case, if I dropped my phone hard enough to damage my TPU case, I'd be glad the phone was OK and glad it only costs me $6 to replace my case.

Most of those tough-box cases make your phone huge and are just thicker and harder plastic that make the case more likely to survive a drop. Haven't EVER seen drop test results or comparisons, but there's no getting away from physics.

Bear in mind also, on a related note, this phone is very light, so on a drop there isn't as much momentum. There was a "drop test comparison" video on youtube of the Epic Touch 4G vs iPhone 4, and with no protection at all, numerous drops, the ET4G came away relatively undamaged.

Found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6zlXBTREcE

If anything, check out this case:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL7PIjZbLY8

Note at the end when he takes the phone out of the case, it's a very similar material, if not also TPU, with thicker corners.

IMHO though, unless you are looking to have your phone survive a drop off a moving motorcycle or similar, you are probably fine with the TPU case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
No i mean the AUX cable. Like headphone cables you would insert in the headphone jack. Sorry should have been clearer. So just pretend it's a thick headphone wire. Will that fit?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
You know what geolemon you're right. The TPU is a tuff case. Didn't mean to imply that it offers little to no protection. Far from it. I've dropped my phone once or twice getting in-n-out of the car, and no harm at all. The TPU just dusted off it's shoulders and kept on thumpin'. No sweat! But I think I need something just a little more robust, just in case I go beyond a 3 foot drop-n-roll with the phone. The big cases, like the Defender and the Kraken and also the new Kraken AMS, are a little overkill for me though. I guess the sweet spot for me is the Commuter/Aegis/Superlaggera range of cases. Would have snapped that one up in a heart beat if any were left at Amazon. Can't find them anywhere else either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
Ohhhh,... I understand what you mean now. Sorry. Based on seeing the Aegis on a Evo 3D, yeah,... on the Aegis case seems to have a very flexible 3.5 opening. Once you pull the protective plug up and out of the way, there's a good bit of room for a jack with a wide belt size I'd think. Well at least on the Evo 3D Aegis. They've also made it so jacks with a 90 degree angle fits in pretty easily too. No worries with the Otterbox,... since they've chosen not to make a case for this phone. The TPU looks like it would have little problem accommodating a variety of 3.5 jacks too! However, this thread is about the Acase Superleggera for the E4GT, which I haven't seen yet. For this phone, I only have full experience with the TPU and partial with the Aegis (my brother has a Evo 3D dressed in an Aegis). Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
This was helpful. We just need an Aegis E4GT user to confirm. Thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
Hold the phone there locoboi,... I'm not actually an Aegis E4GT user,... yet. My E4GT is still dressed in a TPU. I'm waiting on my Aegis to arrive from CyclopsCase.com as we speak. Tracking says Wednesday of this week. Now my brother has the Aegis on his Evo 3D, and my comments were based on my observations of his phone. Should be safe though, usually there's not a lot of change in case model features between phone to phone,... some, but not a lot. An Aegis is an Aegis in most cases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dts00:
I just picked up a "Case-Mate" from Amazon, it was only 18 dollars with shipping can't complain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
How do you like it? What did you have before the Case Mate? Any comparisons?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
No I'm saying that we need an Aegis Epic user to confirm haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
I am now a certified Aegis/E4GT user and can confirm that there's plenty room for unusual 3.5mm plus.

Came in a little over a week ago. Sweet case, nice fitment, they managed to get a lot of protection out of this thing without going thick on us. The buttons are as quick and responsive as a 911-RS. Camera is well protected, and the case doesn't slide around on hard surfaces like the Commuter did on the Evo 3D. The Otter had forgotten how to hold its breath under water. Better hurry up and remember!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Thanks, just ordered the one in black :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dts00:
Sorry for taking this long to answer. Is a great case, before this one I just had a regular TPU soft case and a hard case with a kickstand, but this one has the beat by far, I love the grip, the buttons feel great and is double layer protection.

I'm starting to dislike this case. Idk :/

Hello!

My colleague has pulled of the amazing achievement of installing some sort of malware on his phone, i have no idea of how he did it or what .apk he installed to get it.

It shows itself by randomly showing a notice in the pull down bar, saying something about improving battery life, when the notice is clicked it opens a website:

hxxp://get.batteryoptimizer.net/lp6.b/index.html?utm_source=cb&utm_campaign=2012-01-13.c.pro&utm_term=sweden&custom_tag=en-minasmstips-Sweden

(disabled the automatic BB-code link, site contains mentioned malware use with caution ;) )

View of the website in the phone:

I can not find any suspicious app anywhere on the phone, and the phone is not rooted so i can not open a ADB shell to find it either.

Anyone have any idea of what this is? How can it be removed?

I cant find any information about this when googling it either.

He had the same thing on his old phone, Nexus One, so i dont know if he got the virus when it re-synced installed apps through gmail account when installing the new phone or if he succeeded to install the same malware .apk manually on both phones.

Ill be happy for any hints at all about this.

Hmmmmmmmm nasty indeed !!!!!!!

But everyone needs to stop calling junk like this "MALWARE",

It is "ADWARE" a well known form of spam essentially.

Where as "malware" is an application that either degrades system performance or is involved in malign activities.

It being hidden installed on your phones, against your will doesn't make it malware :rolleyes:

The reason it matters is the rather rapidly growing assumption amongst the general public that Android is a malware troubled flatform. Which it is not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevep:
Hey Guru

Good point about the naming of the problem! Although on this occasion, whether it's 'malware', 'adware', or even 'underware' :) the name is less relevant. I think the point is that someone has infiltrated our phones and we needed to find the culprit

Personally, if it's 'pushing' stuff to my phone without me knowing, then in my book, that's 'malign activity'.

Glad I got rid of it though :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevep:
Well said! Yeah..and that's the point. The original app - Notepad - was a 'safe' one.. so I let it install when it said that an update was available. The latest version introduced 'extra' permissions that I didn't look out for because I assumed it was still essentially the same app and therefore it would NOT allow ads/apps to be pushed.

I'd say that was 'less-than-honest-behaviour' - Maybe it should be called 'ReadTheSmallPrintWare'

If you install via market and an apps permissions change later it does highlight them in bold to bring them to your attention.
