I know with Samsung Galaxy Player I had, a dev was able to make the 2.6 kernel work with ICS but the camera and hardware acceleration would not work. I guess you need the 3.x kernel to get that stuff and maybe other stuff to work. The devs we have for the burst probably just figure it's not worth the effort to make the 2.6 kernel work with ICS with some features not working, when ICS is supposed to be released. I don't blame them either.

What is wrong with my battery

I like the phone very much, but off late its giving me really bad battery life. I runs out of juice in 2 hours. Like I'm on the subway for 2 hours, with HSPA+, general surfing, while listening to some music on my PX-100's and might just play a casual game. It goes from a 100% to 15% in 2 hours flat.

But when I switch off data it lasts me day. What is wrong? Do I need a new battery? Where can I get one?

My setcpu profiles are also powersave when screen off and ondemand rest of the time.

Attaching images here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I put mine in airplane mode during the day and it uses almost no battery. its the radio that drains the most during the day while it sits there. granted I'm not allowed to use my cell while I'm at my desk so I take it out of airplane mode when I go on break or lunch or leave.

MicroSDHC card for my Pantech Burst

Hi everyone,

So I recently picked up a couple of bursts for my family and it is now time to buy a couple of memory cards. I'm going with a 32gb microSDHC card but is it worth the extra $10-$15 to get a class 10 card? Will the burst be able to fully utilize the faster transfer speeds? I haven't been able to find info on what the phone is capable of in this regard. Maybe it's a non-issue but I'd like to get some opinions anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finn81:
I think that you should flash stock recovery image , and everytime before checking updates,you should hard reset your phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjnbrn:
I've been on stock unroot for a while.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmhalder:
as far as checking more than once every 24 hours, you used to just be able to manually push the clock forward 1 day, that would let you (on some phones), HTC phones have a manual check that you can initiate through the dialer via *#*#682#*#* (this number just disappears when entered on the Burst).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrakattack:
doesn't matter if you're rooted for ota updates, it's the custom recovery that'll stop you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjnbrn:
Ah. Well, I'm about as stock as stock can get.

EDIT:

Pushed clock up a day, and it let me check for updates. But no update found.

:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmarcus:
I don't have my phone with me at the moment but to check more than once a day goes something like this.

Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > ATT Software Update > Clear Cache

For some reason after you do this and when you go back in to check for update, the option will be grayed out. go back and then go check for software update again and it will be available to check again. When I have my phone I'll right up more accurate instructions and put them in the essentials thread.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I've been force closing it, clear cache, force close again. go back out check for update, if its grayed out I'll go out and come back again. I might have extra steps tho. u got it right marcusmarcus

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmarcus:
Unless it is from Pantech themselves, it means nothing to me. An email from some anonymous person or a Facebook post by someone other than Pantech USA has no merit.

The only official thing I seen from Pantech on their Facebook account is "Late Summer" and "Soon". Not very informative but I believe the 21st is the last day of summer, so that is the latest summer you can get. They have until then to get it out. Once the 22nd hits, they will have broken their promise and then I will begin to hound them.

Oh man someone had better remind Pantech's marketing people about the official start date of Autumn in the USA! You know how marketing people are about strict dates and deadlines. They will certainly crack the whip on the programmers and make sure they don't breech the autumnal equinox and break their "late summer" promise!

You will get it when you get it.

And you guys who are seriously dumping your Burst because of your overwhelming disappointment with Pantech for their failure to meet your promised "late summer == September 21" date ... well I'll be happy to buy your used Burst that is so useless so you can go buy a HOX or something that already has ICS (and no menu button, and no search button, and HTC sense, and a locked bootloader that can't be unlocked, etc. etc.).

I actually did go from a burst to a one x and I do have an unlock bootloader running AOKP (jelly bean) with everything pretty much working. Including a work around for a menu key. Sorry, don't mean to be an ass or rub it in. But I understand these peoples frustrations. I personally didn't last more than 2 months with my burst and don't get me wrong I loved it for what it was but i also knew I got what I played for; Unfortunately, the burst is a hell of a budget phone but not a high end phone and for this reason alone it hasn't attracted development.¹ So if anyone in this thread really cares about software updates the best bet is to go with a nexus or a high end phone that has momentum. I know it sounds inconsiderate of some peoples budgets but its true. Budget phones like this one are last in a carriers list.

either way from what it sounds like even if the first update is ICS we "should" be getting JB at some point later on.

wasn't there a new kernel being worked on that would allow for greater compatiblity between the different devices? like just short of making a one rom to rule them all situation? (sorry for the pun)

You must have the 1.85 hboot. The current rev (post July), or if you take the OTA upgrade on a phone that shipped with it, is 2.02 and there is no exploit for that.

Just remember, AT&T does not want you to root or unlock your phone, and they will do everything they can to prevent it. Some of us get lucky and manage to slip in a time window after which an exploit is found and before AT&T can plug the leak.

And it's not just AT&T either. In the USA, the service provider is the reseller of your phone and they want to control the software as well as restrict how you use the phone. This is true also for any other reseller of Android products such as Google, Amazon and Barnes & Noble... if they have something else they want to sell you such as apps, navigation services, media or content, or phone service, then they are going to try and craft the device such that is only usable as a vehicle to buy the other things they want to sell you.

It's very difficult to complain about AT&T not doing something to help you to undermine their business model. I fully expect the update to the Burst, ICS or JB or whatever, to also make an attempt to plug the hole that we are using for root. If the phone were more popular like a HOX then it'd have been plugged long ago.
