No, the "bug" is fixed" and people are enjoying what the select few told the masses they would, which is the EXACT same battery life. But at least "Android OS" shows a low percentage now.

Man, the things that make me LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
^ what he said.

The "bug" only affected how Android OS usage was reported - it has/had nothing to do with actual usage or actual battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
yeah i should have made that clear, battery life is the same... just verifying that the math involved in calculating the "android os" usage is correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
I never said that my battery life was any better. I had no problems with battery life or Android OS, just stating what percentage Android OS was showing in my battery stats.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
better battery stats really doesn't tell me much unfortunately. Highest usage is locations services. (215 seconds) not much. so.... ill keep going through app by app and see what does it.

Screenshot of the Partial Wakelocks and Kernel Wakelocks displays, perhaps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
So you haven't run it yet huh? Probably shouldn't talk without experience.

Show me where I can get this on a 4.0.3 ROM:

Battery life is without a doubt better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
That vbs-tuna wake lock is RIDICULOUS, it should never be that high unless you're actually using a flash drive on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
hmm, what do you think that is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
i do charge via usb all day at work which of course connects the phone to my pc via MTP, so maybe thats it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
How the heck did you get 5+ hours of screen time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Hi guys.

Stupid question but I hope I haven't ruined anything here.

I swapped my sim over and I didn't realise I had the phone on!!!

From anyone's knowledge would this cause any damage at all? It didn't even see the sim until I rebooted which is normal bay just checking with the more knowledgeable out there. In my knowledge it shouldn't do anything but just checking.

Its working fine by the way. Haha.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
You have nothing to worry about. The Nokia N8 also has to reboot when you remove the SIM while the phone is still on.

Your phone should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
If it could damage the phone I guess they would have made the battery block the SIM slot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Hey thanks for all your replies.

Yeah I asked one of my technical knowledgeable friends and he doubts it also. No damage at all. It had no sim in it and I put it in, the phone didn't even see it till I rebooted. After I did it was like what am I doing!! Wake up son! I'm not anywhere near that stupid, well not normally. Haha.

Thanks for all your replies though.

Cheers. :-)

[XPERIA X8 General] mrda:
Hello, I'm just new in the Android world. I just acquired an HTC Tattoo and an Xperia X8.

In the X8 I have the n4n kernel with latest nighly cyanogenmod (20)

In Tattoo I have the stock kernel with latest nighly cyanogenmod (22)

With the Tattoo I don't have any problem.

But with the X8 I can't access to the Market (latest installed version 3.4.4) . I also tried with older markets (3.1.2, 2.2.x). When I try to open the app, it don't open. It don't make anything. Also tried with mini CM 2.1.9.

And with WhatsAPP I have the same problem.

Can somebody help me, please?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] dagger:
do you have sim card in your x8?

market freezes when there is no sim in the phone....

and i dont use whatsapp so i cant tell about that:D

http://gigaom.com/2012/02/14/htc-rumored-to-be-working-on-a-streaming-music-service/

So looks like they are doing a little more than just regular Beats audio...

Will be interesting to see exactly how it is going to work out compared to the others out there right now...
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Hmm...with Google music and Spotify both working fine, I don't think its going to make that big of an impact.

Sent from my Galaxy SII
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
dont think its gonna be a stab at google music at all. more so at spotify and pandora and the likes...Least thats what I get form streaming music...

none the less it will be interested to see what they will have to offer that will differentiate it from the others...

Would of thought spotify wouldn't of made any impact with pandora working fine but it evidently has...
[HTC EVO 3D] ill_man:
I love spotify, but I think if Google did the same thing as spotify, but made it so everything is alphabeticaly order, I would switch

Sent from my PG86100 using Xparent Green Tapatalk
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Yeah, I'm thinking that Google Music will slowly transition into something like Spotify in the future. If HTC starts their own service, more power to them since it'll be more competition, which is always encouraged.

They can offer that they're the only ones with "Beat Audio" integrated with their service, but some of us know that Beats is just silly. :/
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Still haven't gotten on the Spotify craze yet here. Pandora is perfect for me. Which is why I stated to begin with if Spotify can come into Pandora's market then HTC sure can come up with their own as well and do just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
I didn't think I would enjoy Spotify this much. I literally cannot stop playing music since I started the service. I usually buy my albums but with Spotify, it allows me to listen to all those songs without buying. I usually run with a playlist that I make and it's happy tunes from there. lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Have you ever tried Pandora which has been out before spotify?
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Yep, I use both since I like to discover my songs through Pandora time to time. If I want more consistency/specific music listening, Spotify is the way to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
gotcha, yeah though I like how pandora gets you to branch out a lil bit in the genres sometimes...
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I am done with ROMs. There, I said it. The fact is, that they are usually more buggy than the stock ROM, and they really tend to jack things up when you want to revert.

The last one changed the MainVer and I cannot seem to get the phone back to stock. I followed the instructions for fixing Mainver, doesn't work.

Tried to RUU and also use the PH98IMG.Zip from HBoot, but those don't work because the last ROM changed the Mainver so neither of those methods work any more.

I thought I had it fixed by using Scott's CleanFlash tool to push the stock kernel to the phone and it did work for awhile, but now my phone is stuck in a bootloop and I really need to get this fixed, I need to get it to do a real RUU and completely restore the phone to stock. I can then just root it and debloat it and stop messing with ROMs which frankly are never enough benefit to justify the harm and aggravation they cause.

So can someone please point me in the right direction to find a way to correct Mainver so that I can just restore the phone with the latest OTA version of RUU and then leave my phone alone and stop messing it up? LOL
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I think I may have solved it. I think I finally got the Mainver fixed and RUU appears to be working, finally.

But I am still done with ROM's until an ICS OTA is pushed out. LOL

If anyone sees me installing a ROM before then, feel free to kick me in the neck...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
It's not all that bad bro.... ROM'ing = patience + experimentation + phone insurance.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
That sucks you have been having so much trouble man. The whole change to a device with a only an unlocked bootloader along with the newer android version is really throwing Devs and Users for a loop. There is a lot to learn.

I hope all these events don't make you stray from flashing forever!
[HTC Rezound] KeithRVA:
Sorry you've had such bad luck. My experience with custom roms has been the opposite. I've taken mediocre phones with buggy/laggy stock roms and turned them into solid, stable devices. Some of the features and extras baked into custom roms are so nice. I'm running Scott's Clean GB 1.6 and it has been 100% stable. I haven't had any fc's or reboots, and everything works. And no bloat!
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Glad you got it fixed and working again Squire, what was your hang up by the way with getting the RUU to run ? I know you were having trouble getting it to see your device what ended up being the issue ?
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Yeah, it really is weird. In a lot of ways, I prefer the DroidX and Motorola experiences I had. They may have an encrypted bootloader, but you could still install ROMs and it sorta helped keep you from messing up the phone, and SDLite always worked for me.

Part of me wonders what the ROM craze is all about. I mean, I fall into it myself, but then I ask myself, why do I do this? I have yet to see a ROM that runs as well as the stock one, once you root and debloat it. Sure, some of them look nice, but when you see what bugs there are, how many things don't work, and then the issues that can come up when you have to revert... I dunno... I start out all jazzed up and then more frustrated than ever when they just never seem to work properly...
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I think some of the issue seems to be how much you need all the parts to work flawlessly for work. As far as my usage and what apps I use, I really can't complain about any of the builds. I just text, surf, browse the internet and play games and music. I never use exchange, blue tooth and those seem to be the biggest flaws with the leaks. So for me the experience is totally different. I think it really all depends on the users needs obviously. To bad you can't get work to spring for one phone for you and then you can have your personal phone to play with :D
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
But even the stock ROMs piss me off. I just did an RUU, unlocked it, rooted it, tested to make sure SU is installed and updated, and neither TI pro or ROM Toolbox can freeze my bloat apps. And Scott's CleanTool was never updated to work with the latest OTA, so I am left wondering how the hell I am supposed to disable all this crap.

There are definitely days when the iPhone and "just working" look very appealing... sigh...
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I also think that part of the problem is that a lot of the apps and things are disjointed and don't work properly. There is no real checks and balances in the Androiud world, no review process. Any college kid taking a programming course is a "software engineer" and the results are that half the apps and stuff out there are hit or miss at best. It takes forever to weed through all the crap to find the one or two apps that actually work right...
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
This inability to debloat is driving me nuts.

This is what I am talking about, the plethora of **** apps out there that just don't work. ROM Toolbox, granted root access, go in and grab an app like Blockbuster and tell it to Freeze it.

says it is doing it.

Still says that 10 minutes later. Have to manually FC the app and then go back in and try another app. TIB does the same thing.

How the hell can you freeze apps or just delete them if neither ROM Toolbox nor TIB can do it?
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Dude, seriously. You have the worst freaking luck with this phone. At first I was just annoyed with your posts, but now I just feel bad for you lol Like, really...I'm sending you good phone vibes...hopefully your phone troubles go away :D

EDIT: Also, there are other apps that can freeze other apps, I think. Can't remember the name of them, but I think they're out there.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Yeah, well if something can go wrong for me, it will.

I did a straight RUU, fully restored to stock. Unlocked. Rooted. Installed SU and updated it, and I cannot debloat any of the **** apps.

This used to work. It worked on my GF's Rezound last week, same OS, same OTA, same exact process, but when I do it, it just sits there doing nothing.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
That sucks. I've had TiBu hang on backups and restores, but never on freezes. That's really strange. I would look for another app. You could try something like this. Just buy it and try for a second and then refund if it doesn't work right away. Just a thought. Hope it gets better for you.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Tried it, it also hangs on freezes just like all the others.

I am stumped. I am really starting to hate this phucking phone.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Just buy rootexplorer and mount to r/o in system and go to app and either rename all the bloatware to .bak or just delete the apk's you don't want like blockbuster etc.. thats what I did and I am not sure why people freeze over renaming or deleting personally.

by renaming to .bak then if you like you can just delete the .bak and viola app is restored !
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Good idea, though it would be mounted as R/W, would it not?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
er yes sorry.. I crossed that up :o

I was trying to picture the screen and was seeing the r/o at the top.. lol have to press that to change to read/ write to alter the actually files.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Tried that and even after renaming and rebooting, most of the apps are still in the app drawer...

The bottom line is that the last ROM I tried really screwed up my phone. I may have to smash it and get a new one under my insurance plan...
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Now, that is wierd did you try deleting them or just moving the apk's onto your SD card from the folder if you wanted to keep them ? There is no reason this shouldn't work that I can think of .
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
How did you try to root the phone? If you use the RUU for the newest update and tried using the zergrush that exploit was patched. You need to install su from amon ra in recovery.
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
My legs don't stretch that high :(
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I installed it from Amon Ra. Then updated it within the app to the latest binary.

I don't know, this is just one of the things with Android. Yeah, it is more customizable and all that, but it is also very clunky at times, apps are hit or miss, and it is easy to mess things up.

So I opened up Notepad, put this in it and saved it as clean.bat and dropped it into my ADB folder and ran it.

[HTC Rezound] icy1899:
Install Su from amonra but don't update the binaries see if that helps, I know the latest Su binaries have a bug with ICS
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Not on ICS. I did the RUU for the latest GB release from VZW. It was the ICS ROM that completely screwed up my phone and took hours to fix.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I think I remember something about updating the binaries having an adverse affect on root for this phone.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
And that is the problem... I used to scoff at my Apple friends when they talked about "Fragmentation", but there is some truth to it. You have 107 Android phones with all sorts of versions and revisions of the OS, plus all the manufacturer skins and integrated apps from the carriers, that it's a wonder that anything works.

There is freedom in the "wild wild west" that is Android, but it brings as many problems as it does benefits. Yeah, we have some cool stuff and freedom to do what we want, but it also means that apps are very hit or miss and while you can customize, you risk hosing things and have to almost be a developer to keep your phone up and running... LOL
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I just read all the threads that pertained to what I was going to do and then did a google search to see if anyone had any new information. Also quite admittedly I am not the first to jump on a ROM, I usually wait a day or two see if there are any fixes that need to happen.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I think what it comes down to are expectations.

I see people all excited about a ROM and saying how amazing it is, so in my head, I think it is everything that the OTA is, but better.

But the reality is that in real world terms, most ROM's are not better than OTA. They are often not any faster, and while it is cool to get themes, some new icons, some new menus and things that make it nicer looking or easier to use, under the hood the OS is a frankenstein OS tossed together with bits and parts of various code, and we are in essence beta testers. You give up stability, you give up certain functions, you give up battery life and all sorts of things, and it usually takes a ROM at least 3 or 4 revisions before it is truly usable.

See, I see people saying it is awesome and I assume that awesome means just that, awesome. I forget that there are people that just see a phone as a toy, and they don't care if 20% of the things don't work, they just want to be the first of their friends running the "latest and greatest", even if it isn't all that great.

The only exception I have found over the past 2 years, was Cyanogen. CM7 for GB was amazing and truly did make my DX better. But it didn't improve the TBolt and neither did any of the other 7 or 8 ROM's my GF tried on that phone.

My expectations are too high. I have to remember where I am, a dev's forum. This forum is a step removed from your typical phone or enthusiast forum. The bulk of the people here don't mind having crippled phones, so long as it has the latest available code on it. They actually like tinkering and playing with it constantly and don't mind having to maintain the phone.

I guess I want the benefits of newer stuff, but to me, it isn't worth what you give up and it certainly isn't worth the time, effort and the hassle and wanting to throw my phone through a wall. LOL

So I need to keep that in mind, that when people rave about how awesome something is, that their definition of awesome is quite a bit different than mine.

Awesome means that it works at LEAST as well as the OTA, and so far on the Rezound, none of them do IMHO.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I will have to disagree with that statement. I think that the devs have some completely awesome roms. They have provided numerous users with a stable platform (with the source being completely unusable). I have been running an ICS rom for almost a month now. There are very few issues with any of them. I can make calls, texts, surf the interent, take pictures, pretty much everything the phone was designed for. You just have to invest the time to research what you are looking for.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
But you could do all of that with the OTA, that's my point.

Other than being able to say that you have some iCS elements, mostly cosmetic, which you could get from Go Launcher themes, what does it give you?

I am not saying that they cannot do the basic things that many people need a phone for. But what do they do that the stock rooted OTA doesn't do?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
It sounds like you have had prior experience with other phones Squires so you know the community so why did your expectations seem to change with the Rezound ?

Knowing that it is a new phone and a young, small developing community for it you should have known its not going to be as stable as CM. So what were you looking for if stock fit your needs ? I am not trying to argue or ignore your experiences , but it just seems as important as your phone is for to you for work I would have never flashed custom roms. I have just a small bit of experience with flashing roms, but I read alot and try to understand what I am doing before doing it to avoid alot of issues that you experienced. Some of your issues could have been avoided by understanding the risk or reading a bit prior to flashing.

Once again, I respect your reasoning and your right to choose. I am just saying that you can't just blame the developers, community, android for all your problems. Alot of us run these roms with small issues that the devs correct if able or other members help with. You make it sound like all of the roms are half assed together and that's not true. Sure there are issues , what custom rom won't especially considering ICS source for the Rezound hasn't been released yet.

Sounds like your debloated and up and running again so that's awesome ! Just don't lump everything together and make it seem that because of your experiences everything is worse than stock :)

P.S. the only reason I run custom roms is for the different looks, functions that can be adjusted and to keep from being bored. I truly admit my phone is a toy, but I do always need it to work as a phone so as long as I have signal, text, data I am good !
