[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Thanks for this. I'm downloading now. Gonna try and make the SMS work on stock ics. Here's hoping lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jmz:
What do you mean stock ics?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:

Is there a fix in yet for the data?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Testman08:
+1 all I'm waiting for. No WiFi at work so I need data as well. Lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
im assuming Jmz and his wife had the baby due to his lack of involvement here.

If so CONGRATS!!!!!

If not Where's my update!!!?? j/k
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jmz:
Sorry guys. Just been busy with work and playing with new toys. nitsuj17 is looking at it this weekend. And between him and I should be able to figure something out at least for data.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
sounds good to me!

and data is the only thing we need really. its functional, just qwirky
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dclay89:
Can't wait. Every once in a while I try to give Sense a shot, but I always come back.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] putnum:
How is the fix for the not having data coming along?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Bumpity bump
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
bump bump bump..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
Isn't that akin to the cardinal sin of asking a dev for a status report? (Not that I wouldn't like to know myself... ;))
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
oh i didnt ask for anything...nor did knipp. ( or so i dont think he did )

now if the dev takes our "bumping" of his thread to be a request for an update of some sort and posts information then so be it. :cool:

but i was simply, as im sure knipp was, bringing the thread the to the top of the forum listing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Yup keeping thread alive
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
INC 2 miui users, be sure to follow @wdfowty for any MIUI v4 updates. Got this off twitter he must be working on porting this for the inc 2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Yaaaaaay :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
dude retweet it to me..i havent seen anything
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jmz:
yeah its coming. just talked to him. he had a different base...so removed mine, his will be around soon enough.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
does he have data resolved in his?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jmz:
yup........
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] icon123:
Any chance Bluetooth works?

Can't wait.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hudsong:
Is the build going to be in a new thread?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jmz:
yeah. im not going to speculate on his release time because i don't know. I just know what he told me. Which is everything is working but he wants to align it with all the other v4 miui builds before release. With his skills shouldn't be too long.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] icon123:
Awesome! Thanks for keeping us in the loop and the work you've done. I've been seeing miui 4 poping up all over the place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reynaldo28:
I have been downloading music so that is available to play offline. However, when I wipe my phone I need to re download all of my music(obviously). I was wondering if there was any way to back up the downloaded offline music. I have found the folder where the music is stored and backed that up, but Google Music did not pick it up when I moved the folder back over to my phone. If anyone could shed any light on the situation I'd be very thankful!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidmarc:
did you try titanium backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
I use Google Music a lot recently. What I figured out to do is to move the music files (that I uploaded to Google Music) to the music folder on my phone. Since the file names, tag data, etc are all the same Google Music treats them as if you downloaded them from Google Music (no duplicates or any weird stuff). So you always have a back up on your PC. I have a folder on my PC with music I specifically upload to Google Music. It makes it easier to keep track.

I hope that made sense...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
That solution is easy and makes a lot of sense. But how are you guys downloading your music from the Google cloud? I understand you can download the entire library with the Google Music Manager program on your PC and then copy the files to your device (a bit combersome), but I've never been able to figure out how to download individual songs. :confused:

I've tried to get "comfortable" with the whole Google Music cloud thing, but I've got to say, I'm about ready to throw in the towel and go back to the Amazon MP3 app. Amazon has cloud storage too, but it's SO much easier to manage on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can "pin" tracks, albums, artists, or genres to the device so its local and not streamed. They're kept cached in a specific folder for Google Music's use only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
That's the "pin" I've been looking for. Still can't find it in ver 4.1.511. I guess, someday I'll take a few days off from work and do some extensive web research on Google Music. Then I just may find out how to use the dang app. They sure don't make it easy. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just long press or hit the triangle in the bottom right of any category (an artist's name, for ex) and hit "available offline" checkbox. It'll then start downloading to the device for offline playback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
The way Google Music app stores the music files for "available offline", it doesn't save them in a normal folder as normal file.

It saves it in it's own random filename in the /android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music folder. So when you wipe data/cache, this gets wipe.

If you look in settings/apps/ you can see Google Music app itself taking huge space.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Oops. Delete this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
Yes, I see that option now. Thanks. You usually have to hit the back button once to get to that page.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Theres also another way. Couldn't tell you where the option is on the Galaxy Nexus, but using ICS (or GB, for that matter) on my G2, you can hit menu > "make available offline" and then check multiple artists, albums, or songs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
Yep, that works too. Now you're making me feel stupid. :o But you just earned another hit on the "Thanks meter" to bring you up to an even 360. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Nah you're not stupid. Some things like that are quite unintuitive to say the least. I'd like to see Google keep moving towards putting functions in the foreground rather than hiding them. They're doing this with Android 4 they just gotta keep going with it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysdroid17:
Hey all

I am loving ICS on my Xoom. However, I have noticed that "Android OS" is taking up tons of battery, with high awake times. I have had it unplugged for about 3 days, and the screen has only been on for like 2 hours. However, "Android OS" is the highest battery eater on the list and has kept the device awake for over 10 hours. Anyone else seeing this? I am having the same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. Thanks for any input.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Have you tried CPU Spy? Mine shows deep sleep when the screen is off. Also screen is the biggest battery user, by far.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysdroid17:
Yeah. I used it and it said that it spent 2 hours at 1000mhz (amount of time the screen was on) and 12 hours at 216mhz and 76 hours in deep sleep. That 12 hours is taken by Android OS, and I don't know why. It is killing my battery. Does anyone know why Android OS is staying awake so much?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
It is probably apps that are trying to sync. See what you have that might be trying to update/sync.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
You also may want to try uninstalling some older applications. I think I read somewhere that some older non-ICS optimized apps can prevent the OS from sleeping.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Do you know of any that are especially problematic?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysdroid17:
I have 120 apps. Isolating the problem is going to prove to be difficult. Any ideas which ones? This has been happening with my Nexus for 3 weeks now, nobody else is seeing Android OS taking up a lot of awake time?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobenhaus:
Just wipe your system clean and reinstall your apps. That will fix all your ICS upgrade issues.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewok666:
Are you syncing email via activesync? If so, turn it off for a while and check if it makes a difference. This is what makes android os go through the roof for me on the tablet and the phone!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaekidd1012:
Is that 120 downloaded apps or 120 altogether (including system apps)? Either way, disabling auto-sync and background data before putting your Xoom down could/should help curb the excess battery drain. The only issue with that is certain apps, like Market, won't function without background data enabled but that shouldn't be an issue if you won't be using your Xoom for a while. You could search the forums or Google on how to create scripts to disable/enable background data and auto-sync for you when you put the device to sleep and wake it back up, respectively. Or just search the Market for an app that does that for you.

Do you leave your wireless radios on (wifi, bluetooth, etc.) while not using your Xoom? Setting wifi to disconnect while sleep may also help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysdroid17:
Thank you all for your input, however I think many people do not understand what I am saying...

I understand how to reduce battery drain IN GENERAL, what I am asking is, are people seeing battery drain faster overall on ICS compared to HC? I am, and I think that Android OS is the culprit. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4436221:
You know, I had the same exact problem when I installed the first fully functional EOS ICS rom for my Verizon Xoom. The Android OS kept draining the hell out of my battery. I went from having about 5 days of battery life to 1 or two tops.

I decided to try a different rom. Since I don't have Mobile Internet, I decided to experiment and installed the Wingray Version of the CM9 ICS Leak(Kang) and I haven't had this issue since.

So I'm not sure what fixed it, was it because I tried a different type of rom, or was it because I downloaded the Wingray version? Not sure, but either way the problem stopped.

Perhaps try a different rom if you're rooted?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggareis:
I am experience this issue on my Nexus. Try using easy batter saver. It extends my battery life very well.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexorz:
I'm seeing some of the same issues on EoS nightly 49. I'm down to 88 percent with barely any use. 14 hours of up time. Android OS at 3hrs and 27 mins up time.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuturePrimitive:
I'm not, if anything ICS is giving me better battery life than HC. Even considering I'm now overclocked and using my Xoom a lot more.

I think a lot of people misinterpret the battery % used though. Just because something is using a higher percent of battery does not mean its sucking your battery down, there will always be something at top of that % list, it doesn't mean there's a problem. It's a relative list. It's entirely possible (and reasonable IMO) to have Android OS at the top of your list if you've used your device for only 2 hours over 3 days! You barely used it, what would you expect to be at the top?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
that's a known problem,

Android OS is also taking up a lot in the stats for e.g. the Galaxy S on its ICS port

a related question though:

I'm mainly using my Xoom for ebook reading (PDFs via ezPDF and/or repligo reader) - which ROM in your opinion offers the better battery runtime

Team Eos ICS ROM

or

the Team Tiamat Moray ROM

?

Many thanks in advance ! :)

Android OS battery bug 4.0.3

If your android device has been off for a considerable amount of time, Android os should not be at the top of battery usage list; phone idle would be in that spot under normal situation. However, there is a battery bug in 4.0.3. After installing 4.0.4 on my Gnex it fixed the problem (from my understanding 4.0.4 was only for the Gnex as its a newer device and the Xoom wifi is slowly becoming obsolete). I'm guessing this will be fixed in 4.0.5 that will be released sooner or later... my guess is later with aging devices.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
My Wifi only Xoom with Team EOS is getting 4+ days of battery life and my screen is whats taking most of the battery. I am using the latest nightly as well as the latest GAPPs. There is something running on your Tablet that is casing the problem you are having. I am having no probles with ICS at all and having great battery life. Have you tryed using maybe setcpu to setup a screen off profle. I would maybe think about doing a full wipe and starting over with the latest of everything.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erhard33:
My android OS was at the top of my battery usage (74%) even when in sleep mode. I used to get 5-6 days, now I get only 2 at best.

I disabled wireless and the drain goes away, android os goes back down to 2-3%.

Any ideas?

ICS 4.04 Xoom WiFi only.

Thanks

mine is draining somewhat fast when i use wireless, but as soon as thats disabled im good to go
[Acer Iconia A500] BBAHunter:
The latest 3.2.1 update is pissing me off, I figured I'd do it, then re-root and -enable adhoc support, which is all I care about as far as needing root for. Now I realize the root for the latest will cause me to reload the entire setup/apps and think it sucks.

So, what is so dang important in these updates to start with?
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
It was up to you whether you applied the OTA update. You didn't have to. Caveat Emptor!
[Acer Iconia A500] BBAHunter:
That wasn't addressing the question asked.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
The question seemed rhetorical coming from someone that took a 3.2.1 update expecting to maintain root.

Next time use this to maintain root through OTA:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper

:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] BBAHunter:
The question was not rhetorical. I did not mean to allow it to update, it was done by accident when clearing notifications.

Thanks for the link, if it works I'll do it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Reveers:
Heh, I feel your pain, but I think you're overlooking the bigger picture.

If you're already on these forums, and have rooted your device, OTA's are a bit of a non-issue. (personally I think they're over-rated) Grab a custom rom and have at 'er.

Also reloading setups/apps is a pain in the arse but you'll likely have heard a dozen times or more to use TitaniumBackup, it does help so you don't have to redownload all of your apps after an update, or rooting, or installing a custom rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] acompres:
My friend bought an Hd2 reaaaally cheap but with the volume keys pretty much dead, and i've been trying to put the SD android files and the rootfs on the ROOT of his SD card since i can't even set the Android SD folder, because obviously, it has no way of doing so.

It boots, to an extend, as it only gets to the slpash screen of the rom itself and stays there forever.

The question is:

Should i just throw the whole content of the "ANDROID" folder on the ROOT of the SD card? or should i just put the zImage outside of the folder and let it boot?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
you must put the folder 'android' to sd card, not its content.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Glebaka:
flash touch CWR or the one with soft buttons, can be found in dev section
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] acompres:
When i put it in the android folder, it says K:/zImage cannot be found, meaning it's set for the root, but once i dump em on the root it just wont boot up.

i can't flash anything man, my up and down keys won't work, if i could, i would have flashed it to NAND a long time ago.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Copy the whole

android folder

to your sd card ..

and

COPY

zImage & initrd.gz to the root of your sd card.

It should boot now.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get a HTC Touch Diamond to communicate with CDMA workshop via USB. when I plug the phone in there is no response at all, neither on the phone or PC. My os is Win7/64.

I have been ok getting Android devices to connect with CDMAWS, but how should I go about with this WinMO device?

Please assist.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Hakim Rahman:
you need to install Windows Mobile Device Center on PC to be able to communicate the device with your PC

But it is for vista and my OS is Win7/64
[Touch Diamond CDMA] jluyt:
hi all...

ok, a very frustrating night, but with some progress :-)

I have my HTC Touch Diamond up in such a way that I can sync (if I want to)... but I dont want to. I want to get into my phone with CDMAWS. Here is the problem... the phone is not actually connected to a COM PORT.

I used a tool, USBDEVIEW and it shows that the phone is live, but not to a COM port.

So any ideas of how I can get it onto a com port. If it was android, I know we need to get it into debugging mode, but winmo... i dont know.

I need the help of the collective please :-)
