[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinmac:
I might think you shoul use Autostart

It sets that when app should start and when not.

We can set Facebook, not to start

-at startup

-after startup

-when connectivity changed, etc.

Even this app is capable of changing Autostart service for system app also.

Nah, I just created a simple app so when you start it, it redirects you to facebook.com

I have a problem though. When I start the app, it takes me to facebook.com then it force closes immediately, while I'm in the browser.

Any ideas what it can be?

Only one class with this inside

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Hmm what is really the question here?

Battery life depends on how you set app the phone. The more apps installed the less life you will get. If you think your battery is miscalibrated then you can recalibrate it. ROM you use as well affect battery life. :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim168:
There is also the fact that a lot of phones (like mine) are getting battery drains because of mobile data, and can only counter that by setting the phone to airplane mode...

For me it kinda seems this whole problem is in custom kernels... We have different kernels for E15i and E15a, because they phones on different regions work under different frequencies, so you can't have the same kernel on those.

Unfortunately all devs here seems to have the E15i model and only make roms and kernels based on that stock version.

It doesn't really make any sense to have 2 different types stock kernels and only one custom and nobody even notices the difference. It has been proved that phones that are roaming (working outside it's own region) waste a lot more of battery because it keeps searching for a native network on the frequency it was made to work.

So when we have a kernel that is made to work under a different frequency, it's like we are roaming all the time and can't get proper signal even though you're on a big city where everyone uses cellphones and there is signal almost everywhere.

I wanted to tell nAa or any other bigshot dev about this and ask their opinion or if they would try to make a Kernel and/or Rom for the E15a model, but I can't since I don't have 10 posts yet even though I've been around since ratch started developing the first X8 Gingerbread Rom...

Anyway, back to the subject:

I usually have 12 to 16 battery hours on my X8a.

I tried undervolting, freezing/deleting applications and everything else...

Some times (VERY rare times) it works and gives me about 2 days and a couple of hours of battery life tops, which I think is the real limit of my battery. Then again, after it discharges it starts draining again...

When on airplane mode my battery almost doesn't discharge, I could probably spend 3~4 days without it discharging completely like that (without SMS and calls though, which is basically all I do on my phone after it started with the drains). If I turn the airplane mode off after that it drains like crazy, something like 20% in 20 minutes or something and tells me that it couldn't find the default network to connect to it (even though it connects right after that...).

While observing the battery discharge graph i noticed that there were points where it was discontinued and continue a few clicks below, like it suddenly went from 58% to 50% in 1 second.

I looked it up and it seemed to happen when i reboot the phone sometimes.Is this a bug of the ROM? because no way the battery can discharge that fast in normal operation nor the phones charge controller seems broken.

Not thinking "ground breaking" or anything, but very nice stuff none the less.

I had an Atrix 4G with the Lapdock accessory (+webtop mod) before the GNEX, so using my android phone as my computer is something i'm familiar with, even though it was in a different way.

I also have the Rii mini bluetooth keyboard and tried once with the Nexus connected to my TV. Just that one time because I received the MHL adapter very recently.

It did not play nice. I'll test it again soon and post an update.

But until then..

Any other Nexus owners here using their phone as a desktop PC/HTPC/entertainment center?

Any recommended full sized bluetooth keyboard+touchpad?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I just use a Bluetooth mouse and a cheap bt thumb keyboard off eBay with a good layout for direction keys. I don't have an MHL adapter yet but it should work. I think your issue is your keyboard\mouse combo may be too complicated without some software.

LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - CM9 AOKP

Asus Transformer - Revolver
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Se7enLC:
Something else I've tried is installing ubuntu in a chroot, accessing it through VNC, and using bluetooth mouse+keyboard with MHL output. Results are shaky at best. VNC is the bottleneck - none of the VNC clients I've tried really work perfectly.

Some typical issues:

- Double-clicking doesn't work

- Keys are not always mapped properly. Escape, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, for example.

- Audio doesn't work at all.

- Because it's through VNC, graphics are not hardware accelerated.

The efficiency of using a full linux install with a keyboard is lost when the keyboard doesn't function as expected.

Looks promising. I would like to see desktop programs like spreadsheets, real time financial apps, or maybe sending something to the printer.
