[Verizon Droid Charge] MSHancock:
Ok so a few days ago I had a very strange problem come up. I am running Inf 1214 with imnuts 130 k. After my phone has charged all night I turn it off and let the green battery get to 100%. I do this a couple times before turning the phone back on. Well a couple days ago my phone started turning on by itself. As soon as it reachs 100%, it turns on. It has never done this before. I am not ruinning any scripts or mods.

Does any one have the same or know what could cause this?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steepy1:
Kind of a noob question but was just curious about this. Can't find any relevant topics either.

If using the stock TouchWiz rom while at the same time using another launcher such as Go Launcher, is TouchWiz still using up RAM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
If its not your main launcher then no its not running you can always check the running services and the cached process to see if touchwiz launcher is running ;)

If you're referring to the Epic 4G Touch, then actually, you're not. You're in the I9100 forum, which is NOT the Touch.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
TW is more than just the Launcher, you can uninstall the Launcher, and you still have a TW based ROM, and you'll be using ~the same amount of RAM independent of whether you're using the TW Launcher, or a replacement.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
To the best of my knowledge any launcher you use pretty much sits on top of Touchwiz, which runs as a service regardless. I don't think it uses a massive amount of RAM tho.

Edit to add - Mudferret. Just the person I was thinking of. Is this right ? TW running as a "service" regardless ?

Stock (unrooted) Skyrocket.

Video (that I've taken on the phone) sometimes does not play. I hit the play button, and the video doesn't do anything (it's as though I hit pause).

If I go to settings/applications/manage apps/ Videos and clear data, it starts working again, but then after a while, it will just stop working.

Any solutions to this? Should I just get another video player? Any recommendations on a good video player?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicFizzle:
I have an HTC HD7 (T-Mobile) and I am contemplating flashing it...I have noticed that I can put new radio versions. I have looked up what a radio is but I just want to be 100% clear...IF I INSTALL A NEW RADIO ON MY PHONE DOES THAT MEAN THAT IT WILL HAVE THOSE 3G/4G BANDS? If so this is amazing, if not then what's the point when SuperCid will SIM unlock the phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
*faceplam*

Radio updates are firmware updates like every other. You can't physically put more radios, or radios that work on different bands, or radios that work on different modulation, into the phone just using a CAB file.

Radio updates do things like improving the software drivers for the phone's radios (WiFi, Cellular, BlueTooth, and so forth), which may give you better data connections, fewer dropped calls, more seamless tower switching, or new purely-software features like tethering support. However, the bands that the phone can access are decided by the hardware present inside it.

Radios add to a phone's cost, which is why you see relatively few quad/quintuple-band phones; it's cheaper to just support the bands most used in the area (or on the carrier) that any given phone is meant to be sold in. An HD7 branded for TMoUS won't be able to use the 3G bands (and doesn't have *any* 4G radios) used by AT&T; the same is true of an AT&T HD7S on TMoUS.

As for why you would SIM-unlock in that case, there are a few reasons. For one, you can usually get EDGE (a late-2G tech, but much slower than 3G) on any given band the phone supports. For another, even with no data connection at all you can usually get voice and SMS on any GSM network. Finally, some networks *do* use the same 3G bands, so by sim-unlocking you can switch to those networks and get the same type of service you had before.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicFizzle:
Radio/band difference

So adding radios to the phone makes it quad/quintuple-band phone? What I'm trying to understand is how you used "Radio but then translated it to the number of bands on a phone
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Strictly speaking, it's probably only one physical radio device (although I don't know for sure), but there may be a couple of antennas... I'm not going to try explaining radio physics here, but it will suffice to say that for a phone to access more bands requires more investment in its radio hardware.

"Band" as used here is radio lingo for "a grouping of similar frequencies allocated to a single purpose" such as the 900MHz GSM cellular band, or the commercial broadcast AM band (which spans the frequency 900KHz - a factor of 1000 difference). If you're old enough, you probably remember analog TV broadcast, which included "VHF" and "UHF" bands.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicFizzle:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelloydr:
hi all,

just wondering ....

which phone will you be picking up to replace your desire?

the desire has been the ?best? supported android phone during the days of eclair and froyo, then gingerbread (not enough resources to run the phone??? -wrong) and now ICS (i've been running sandvolds ICS beta for a month and it rocks, so smooth but now definately limited by hardware (NFC, no HWA support etc)).

However, times change and no piece of technology can last forever.

Which android phone will take over from the desire in being the next best option? WHich one has the most dev support, which one has the best hardware.

I know thousands of people will be nearing the end of their contract for their Desire. What will you pick up and why?

As in terms of rom development.

You could take the Desire HD, with the upcoming announcement of ICS coming to that one and the Desire S.

(I would take the Desire HD, when my Desire is up for replacement)

Also by taking several looks at the rom development section of the DHD.

I think it wouldn't be a bad choice to go with.

- the light behind the home, menu and back button is blueish and for the search button is white

[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
Looks like a pre-release model to me o.O - the Facebook button was changed from that rectangular button to the square one we all have and there's a code of some sort on that device (which also points towards a pre-release device).

What's the software version? Also the Hardware Info in Settings > About Phone > Hardware Information? If my thoughts are right, its software version should be less than 1.xxx.xxx.x and the CPU should be 600Mhz, as the CPU was changed to 800Mhz on retail devices just before launch.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Actually the CPU is the same, it was software overclocked to 800Mhz on released devices.
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
Ah right - well I was close, kind of :P

Either way, this Chacha should still say 600Mhz right, if it is indeed the prelease model?
[HTC ChaCha] phatsua:
Well the CPU is stated working at 800 but this I think is because the phone has 2.3.3

What else do u need to know (also i think is a test model or prerelease or some sorts)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toraen:
I've had my Wind Galaxy Nexus (4.0.1 - Samsung updated) for about a week.

I've had 4 complete battery pull needed lock ups, and 3 reboots.

The lock ups all happened viewing a 720p MKV in MX Player - and one of the reboots. The other two reboots happened in Google Music (just playing local files).

All times I've had a bluetooth headset connected.

Without bluetooth connected the phone has never locked up or crashed.

Is this a known issue or do I have a lemon?

I can't swear it's only bluetooth but so far that's been the issue.

I've updated ROMs on Android before, so I don't really mind doing that (and there's many nice guides here) but I didn't really see the need.

Does anyone know if going to 4.0.2 or .3 will fix this?

Thanks.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
Well you could try reflashing the kernel, but we need a little more information on what exactly happened leading up to it. Another option is just to use flashtool to reflash your phone. If you havent used flashtool before you can use this tutorial:

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc/

Just keep in mind thats for the arc, the steps are the same, you just need to grab a .ftf thats made for the Play. You can find those in the dev section.

*EDIT* Make sure to uncheck "clear user data" unless you have everything backed up. Its generally a good idea to clear user data on a new flash but I'd hate for you to lose your data if its not backed up

Hi,

I've been lurking around for some time and found quite a lot of ICS builds for Galaxy S II. But all of them had very bad comments concerning stability. (Including one leak from Samsung).

So my question is fairly simple: is there any stable-"enough" for daily browsing/emailing? (I don't even use my phone as a phone anymore but more for internet stuff)

One of my colleague installed an alpha of Cyanogen on his Nexus S and he says that everything is running quite fast and smooth.

Any good suggestions would be appreciated and welcome.

[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Our smartphones have the highest battery capacity a smartphone has ever had (not including Galaxy Note which isn't really a smartphone anyway).

Unfortunately, people get mixed results with the battery.

In this thread, post your battery life results and personal usage. It could help people see the potential our battery actually has and could also help stop battery woes.

It will also be interesting to see the results from different ROM's and different kernels.

Here's what you post:

- Display time

- That battery graph thingy

- Battery mA statistics (install this app).

Posting screenshots of the above would be MUCH more helpful than just saying, 'Oh, my phone lasts 2 days with heavy usage.' Heavy usage is variable for each individual, so being specific would be much better.

Please also post your personal configurations, ie. brightness at x%, 3G on, Wi-Fi on xminutes, 'Tasker' profiles etc.

Hopefully, if people participate, we will be able to identify how people get great battery life and how some people get really bad battery life. Then we could compare personal configurations and see what settings/apps/tweaks affect battery - in a positive or negative way.

This should also clean the forums of the daily 'bad battery life' thread's in the forums.

I will keep some posts reserved for the future, where there could be battery tips as well as the highest display time and the lowest mA statistics.

Good luck!
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Battery life will vary by individual device hardware performance, individual battery performance, ROM, radio, kernel, apps installed and running/not running, how many times you reboot, how much data you use, wifi usage, bluetooth usage, etc., etc.

There is no way to compare everything which is a factor because there are too many factors. Every device is basically completely custom unless you take 2 or more completely identical stock devices and do some battery studies on those without changing anything. Even then you won't capture the differences in actual performance differences from hardware and battery performance which will vary across all the sample devices.

The best you are going to get is people just saying which ROM, radio, and kernel they use, and the up-time they get. In reality, this will be no different to any other battery life reporting done in many other threads. Comparing apples to oranges to pears. Better to just start a "who has the longest battery life" thread.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I believe this is more of an attempt for users to "compare notes", so to speak. It might help people understand why they are getting the battery life they are and maybe there might be people who can collaborate on which setups will meet their needs and obtain the type of battery life they want. At the very least, it could give users (with similar configurations) a place to see if they are actually experiencing any issues or if it is the norm with said configuration.

Also, this could be a step in consolidating a frequently discussed issue and in return reduce the number of new posts on the same subject. :)
[Atrix 4G General] Myque:
I came from a Galaxy S (since in my country there are issues with Galaxy S2 signal), Atrix is really nice (this is my 2nd day on it), but about battery, the same rom but different kernel always do different results, last one on galaxy S gave me 2 days on battery with low to med use, but in Atrix world, in the few post I have read, I just noted that Atrix arent the same, looks like there are 3 versions of it (sorry if i am wrong, I am new into Atrix) ATT seems to be one and the 2 others tegrapart versions, do you think this also could make difference on the batt duration?
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Yes every phone is different, but the battery's are exactly the same...

The fact that the hardware is a tiny bit different on each device will make negligible difference on battery life.

What will make the difference are personal preferences. This is why I'm requesting people to post their own one so that we could all get tips on how to decrease battery drain.

Anyways, let's kickstart things off. Here's mine - I'm losing 1%/hour on idle, with 3G on, brightness on auto and autosync on.

I only downloaded BMW yesterday, so I don't really know how it works. But something I noticed was that the mA keeps decreasing. Why?

And another thing, is the screenshot attached what you would refer to as 'good battery life?' I'm not complaining, but I'd like to see what mA people are normally getting while idling as well.

EDIT: Oh, and just in case... I'm running (custom) Neutrino GT ROM with Faux123's 024 1.3Ghz kernel.
