[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bdneuman:
Well, i spoke too soon. The tearing is back, just like in the OP video. Took it a day or two and reboots do not clear.

Wonder if it has something to do with the cache(s)? Need to get CWR going so I can delete the Davlik/cache without wiping data. Waiting for the dev'd up unlock tool first - don't relish giving up my warranty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
Uh you might be waiting forever. You and I can hope a dev makes an unlock, but chances are very slim.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xzombiex66:
Yep its back again after the latest update this crap is getting very annoying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blierp:
.14 was fine for me regarding this issue but it's back in .15
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dj-bilbo:
Same pb here on latest update (.15).

For me 2 major areas:

1) when pressing recent apps (especially if lots of icons on screen)

ALSO

2) in the notifications tab (when opened and dling app updates, the updating progress bar will flicker real bad).

Not major annoyance, but you wouldn't expect this happening.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badhobz:
i just got my dell streak and so far when i press the start button i see the dell logo and then the screen just hangs there (black) until i remove the battery. I tried to charge the battery up to full but i since i do not see a battery charging indicator i really dont know what to do with it. help

everything is stock, i dont even know if its GB or not since i havent been able to start it up :( It's a rogers phone though
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
Tried a factory reset
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badhobz:
yeah i tried that. i also went into fastboot and it says on the bottom "default nv checked #2" and i cannot click on the fastboot option. When i press the volume rocker up or down the screen goes dark and then comes back in a little bit saying that the "screen calibration FAILED"

i did however succeed one time in getting the screen calibration to "pass" and then i was able to press the fastboot option. From there i used the DSC installer "flash" exe and it updated the phone. Then after the reboot i was able to see the lock screen but unable to press any buttons.

im figuring

1) the touch screen is defective, hence iam unable to press anything and thus the screen calibration keeps failing

2) the connect to the touch screen is broken or lose and i might need to open'her up to see

3) fack it, ill just tell rogers to send a replacement.

So far ive done step 3 but since its the weekend, i felt like tinkering.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] core2kid:
So just inherited my dads OG Droid. Currently rooted and runs Steel Droid (Mod Version 9000) and 2.6.32.9_RZ Kernel.

Phone is overclocked to 1GHz (125/1000 ONDEMAND).

Like the title says, the phone gets about 5 hours and then hit's 5% and keeps asking me to charge. If I charge it overnight and unplug it when it's 100%, it'll hit 90% idling (while I sleep) about 3 hours later.

Running Programs:

DSPManager

Words Free

Facebook

3D Digital Weather Cloc

News & Weather

3G Watchdog

Videos

SoundHound

Pandora

Temp+CPU V2

Now out of all the running apps, Pandora, Soundhound, News & Weather, 3G Watchdog, Temp+CPU, 3D Digital Clock are all widgets. Temp+CPU and 3D Digital clock are the only ones that actually run, the rest are just there in case I want to use them.

These stats today are from using Pandora for about an hour over Wifi.

Any ideas? Phone runs fine most of the time but I have seen the occasional lag where you have to click something 10 times before it opens.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tree12324:
I used to have a pretty big problem with battery life too, but even though I think they are somewhat silly and annoying the Easy Battery Saver app helped me quite a bit.

Wifi and using the speakers are heavy on battery life. Not sure how much difference it will make but try consolidating your widgets and app shortcuts to as few screens as possible.

Also your CPU governor might be set to something that lets the phone hog through anything at the sacrifice of battery. When i set my CPU to Performance my phone runs like a boss, while setting it to battery saver I get a little more lag but more battery, obviously. Not sure how/if your ROM will let you change that but it's something to look into.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] core2kid:
I got it set to On Demand which might be the issue. The kernel is a low voltage kernel. How do ultra low voltage kernels run?

I did a battery calibration, downloaded Advanced Task Killer (Battery saver didn't work well, I'd always have an issue with 3G not activating) and got rid of all my widgets. Currently charging it up completely, I'll check it out tomorrow.

So the title is incorrect, it says 5 hours and 5% left. I checked the battery info at 5%. It said 4hr 4x min. About 10 minutes later it shut off so I didn't even get 5 hours to a full charge.

I don't have high expectations but coming from an Alias 2 that had the extended battery (I'd get a week of battery with my use), this is pretty disappointing.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] googlelover:
Well I can tell you now, ondemand is NOT good for battery, what that governor does is make it so the CPU will go from MIN to MAX speed slots depending on what the phone needs, AFAIK it doesn't scale with need, it just goes to max. So your phones CPU was running at max most the time which kills battery.

Can't say anything about your ROM, but I use simply stunning 5.6 http://www.droidforums.net/forum/chevyno1/177728-ss-5-6-2-3-7-incl-1-battery-other-goodies.html Which, with his low voltage 1ghz kernel set to the smartass governor, I get anywhere from 8-14 hours of battery life depending on use. Using ultra low voltage kernels depend on your phone, some phones have trouble overclocking to 800mhz mid-voltage (mid-voltage is considered to be the most stable, but use the most battery), others can overclock to 1.25ghz ultra-low voltage, which is very rare. I would say try out all the different voltage kernels and see which one works best with your phone.

Also task killer = MAJOR MAJOR No no! The task killer will kill the apps, and the android OS will restart them, using more CPU time and making the battery actually not last as long, I would recommend learning how to use the supercharger script http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

Can't say much about the majority of programs you have running, but I've found facebook does not like to play nice with the Droid, also, why use the 3D clock when the Droid comes with a built in-clock app? Pandora uses a lot of battery, so running it w/ the ondemand governor is probably what hurt your battery there.

Not many Droid users left out there, but I was and still am an extremely avid Droid user, so if you have any more questions just shoot me a PM and I'll help as much as I can.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] core2kid:
Thanks! I got rid of all my widgets and installed Chevy's ultra low voltage 1.1GHz kernel on smartass. I lost 20% battery pretty fast but let's see how long it runs. I've had no force close issues so far. I'm a bit tempted to go to 1.2GHz ulv.

How much does the ROM have to do with battery life? I really love this ROM and it's interface. I thought the battery life really only had to do with kernels.

I also got rid of the clock widget and put a default clock widget. What's the built in Android one? Is that the "Analog Clock"?

Sorry for all these questions, I'm pretty new to Android. Only had this for 2 days (~8-10 recharges...)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] googlelover:
Its fine, better to question and learn then to just get mad and over it, and Roms have everything to do with battery, they are just like kernels, some work AMAZING on some phones, while others can destroy battery life.

Like my rom, I found the perfect one for my phone, I get 8- (been thinking about it more) 20 hours of battery life on mine and it has pretty amazing performance too with the occasional hiccup.

And I thought you had the clock app installed for an alarm, not for a widget, my bad. I don't use a clock widget so I wouldn't know.. Also, I've found its not very good to run many widgets on the Droid, as it has limited memory and can only handle so much.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] core2kid:
Well I got sick of it and reflashed the entire ROM. CPU governer is set to ONDEMAND 125/1000. Only*widgets I have are a simple clock (like the iPhone lock screen) and power control. Gonna see how it goes. So far so good but I'm saying that because I didn't loose 20% overnight. If I can clear the day, I'm good.

googlelover, what CPU Governer did you find to work the best with your phone?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AuroEdge:
I have been an Android owner for a while now, with the Droid being my first. Until recently battery life had always been an issue for me. Undervolting has never had an effect over a 20% improvement. And this is only when it's in deep sleep. Otherwise, in very general terms, undervolting can require a higher current aka worse battery life if you use your phone a lot. With undervolting comes the risk of data corruption in your phones memory and SD Card. What really kills your phone is screen on time, wakelocks, CPU overclock, and signal quality.

The last you have no control of. But if you're overclocking 1GHz or higher you have to realize that's almost twice the manufactured clock speed. As far as wakelocks, this is when something keeps your phone from going into a low power state. This can happen because of a rogue app, a buggy ROM, or having too many widgets. I ran into a ROM a while ago on my Fascinate that would stay awake if you had GPS enabled. The best you can do with your display power usage is to keep your brightness down. Hope this explains a few things
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] asangav:
have the same issue
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] googlelover:
I already told you, the smartass governor, and like I said before, ondemand is not a good governor in my opinion. There are way to many factors in battery life to have anyone else be able to truly help you with it, all our phones are different and it really just takes time switching kernels, switching ROMs, etc to find what works with your phone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] core2kid:
Sorry googlelover, I forgot you already said that.

So update guys. I've been going a day (so like 18 hours) of use after which it finally hits the 15% warning.

What I did:

Basically I reflashed the ROM and started from scratch. Before reflashing, I wiped the user data/cache/davick cache etc at least twice just to make sure it was really wiped.

I reflashed SteelDroid 9.0 with the default chevyno1 lv 1ghz kernel and gave it a go with just a simple clock widget. Worked well. One by one, I'm starting to install applications until I can figure out what was draining the battery fast. So far, so good. If I can get 18 hours on a 2 year old battery, I'm going to be doing fine with my extended battery.

One thing I did notice was that the phone back by the camera (where CPU is) isn't getting as hot as it used to. Makes me think that the phone was at a high clock speed in sleep. Another issue may have been my CPU temp/speed monitor. It was probably poling the CPU stats every second which made the phone increase the CPU speed because it sensed activity.

Try out the ROM I'm using. I absolutely love it. The interface is phenomenal and it runs very well.

htp://w w w . d r o i d f o r u m s . n e t /forum/steel-droid/148060-release-steel-droid-9-0-gingerbread-11-17-2011-a.html

(remove the spaces to see it, I wasn't able to post links normally because I don't have enough overall posts).

There's probably other ROMS that run better like the one googlelover is using, but I can't use the default Android interface anymore after using this.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] googlelover:
Don't forget not many roms have the default android interface, many have themes to completely change the look, if your happy where your phone is, great! But if you ever feel like your phone is slowing down again, I'd still recommend looking around and flashing some different roms.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] core2kid:
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'm only using this phone for another couple months. I'll be getting the Droid 4 when it comes out. Looks like a really nice phone.
[Droid X General] rjr1049:
I am running a Droid X that is just over a year old and the OS is the stock OTA Gingerbread. The phone is not rooted. Recently I have had problems with the phone and I am trying to figure out if the hardware is failing or if it is a software issue.

The phone would frequently restart when I selected it to power down. More seriously, I carry the phone in a belt side case with a velcro flap and I would frequently discover that it had crashed, so I would not be getting calls that came in, requiring a battery pull to restart it. Thinking it might be an overloaded memory problem, I removed a number of apps that sat in memory so that there was plenty of memory available. That didn't resolve the problems so I did a factory reset and, so far, the phone seems OK.

Do Android phones just develop these problems, requiring factory resets from time to time, or could something else be going on? Thanks in advance for the help.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Unfortunately, I think badly written applications probably have a major impact on Android and it's ability to stay stable.

I wouldn't blame Android itself...but the developers of said applications.
[Droid X General] cdexsw:
Been using the Vzw firmware for quite sometime now from froyo, leaked gb builds to the official gb builds. poorly written apps for GB are the main cause of crashes, fc, and random reboots.

Currently running Vzw signed 4.5.605 OTA - i rooted, deodexed, and debloated. I have had no issues.

You have a rogue app or two causing the issue. Find which one it is and remove it.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I would try uninstalling a few apps, or just go ahead and do a factory reset (wipe data).

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0mka:
Hello all. I have HTC Surround from AT&T with updated 8107 firmware. I have spoted some strage bug (i don't know how else i could call it) and wanted to ask if thisone is possible and if i do think right. So i have this phone for about half a year and i'm pleased with it, nothing happened to it until now. Last week i was typing an SMS message and suddenly it just froze. I tried to restart it but the phone got stuck in the white HTC screen. My firmware then was 7720. I have done the hard reset and everything seemed to be ok but today the same thing happened with updated version too. I thought a bit and remembered that both times my phone was lying on top or near by wireless microphone receiver which was in working state. So can it be possible that some sord of electromagnetic waves is causing my phone to do this? Or it's just a coincidence?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.3zar:
as i'm a developer i didn't this it's a bug ithink it's accidentaly and you were at that place again like other time ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0mka:
But that's quite too big to be jusn an accident. I had this phone for half a year and nothing. Well i'll try this Friday not to put it on top of the receiver and will post what happened. This thing scared my quite big, i thought that mmc is broken but i have checked the bootloader (i don't know how the screen with 4 colors is called, i think it's bootloader) and it showed my mmc working perfectly. If it was not because of microphones what could then be the problem?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0mka:
OK tried that this Friday too. Same think - phone near the receiver - phone dies and i must hard reset it to work again. How is this possible? Which part of the phone messes?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
Very possible that a strong magnet could do this. Internally the surround uses a microsd (there are guides here for upgrading it but taking the phone apart). I imagine a strong enough field could corrupt a microsd pretty easily. When u say wireless mic do you mean bluetooth?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0mka:
No no no, i mean microphones which are used on stages, i work as a sound engineer and my phone always is close to receivers, close to controlers and other stuf i use. So to avoid further coruptions i should put my phone further from all equipment right?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0mka:
OK after this other few tries i have found out that it does indeed mess my phone, i have tried holding it near wireless microphone receiver and my phone have frozen and when i placed my phone further from receiver nothing happened. So look out for that
