I unplugged my tp cm9 the morning, used it to check email then threw it in my car and headed to work. Didn't touch it again until now, 11 Hours later. Battery dropped from 100% to 92%. Battery life is NOT an issue with this device.
[TouchPad General] nunjabusiness:
^^^THIS^^^

I can usually tell by the level of "technical" questions people ask whether they are more suited to iProducts or real computers.

If I have to explain more than one thing, I just recommend they go ahead and head to the other camp. Less work for me in the long run.

"It Just Works" actually means "if you are not up to the job of understanding or managing your ****, @pple will do it for you ... because you really shouldn't be given that much intellectual credit." ;)

FWIW, I have never gotten my panties in a wad about how much battery I have left. It either works or it doesn't ... so far, it does. :p
[TouchPad General] Aganar:
Oiy, let's keep the condescension to a minimum, people. Guy admitted from the start he didn't know too much about the thing and was basing it on his observations. We've enlightened him. There's no need to be this hostile to someone just for having an iPad.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
All I was saying about the iPad was that there is a reason that it basically can go an entire day without losing a single percent of battery charge. I'd like to know what it does when you put it into sleep. Is it that its just THAT much more optimized for battery life because of the deep software and hardware integration? Whatever the iPad does to get such ridiculous battery life I'd like to try to emulate with the TP.

That is, if the iPad is clocking the processor at .25mhz and putting the wifi into some crazy half sleep half on state, id love to do that with the Touchpad. I have no clue what the iPad does and with much searching I came up with nothing, but maybe someone here knows.
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
i have to admit...SOMETIMES the alpha android builds do suck on battery life....but right now im using cm9 and i get a good 10 days on standby alone (long story short....couldn't find it for 10 days)
[TouchPad General] DNak206:
Lol it is all good man. In the real world my friends consider me a phone hacking guru and realistically, I am no different than anyone else and certainly not here to impress anyone or argue. Reality is my TP will probably never replace my ipad2 but each day it gets a bit closer. :-)
[TouchPad General] lewmur:
Would three TPs replace your iPad2? 'Cause that's what it would take to win the argument that the iPad2 is a better deal than the TP.
[TouchPad General] Izeltokatl:
I own both the ipad2 and my tweak friendly TP.. Obviously the ipad2 is a solid platform it was designed with iOS in mind, and Touchpad is a hack job with android. I still prefer my tp though because I can modify the crap out of it. The OSs are fundamentally different so it's hard to compare the two.. iOS has limited multi-app processing. android let's you have way too many apps running if you're not careful.. Hence battery life takes a hit. With apps like autostarts or system tuner pro you can tightly control what turns on and know when they turn on. Thereby increasing battery life. Hopefully if the devs keep at it, we'll see a more awesome TP.. I personally get about 10% battery drain per day if I don't use it at all. So you may have some additional tweaking to do.

My galaxy tab lasts forever on standby do it'd not really just ur ipad that's capable of it
[TouchPad General] tbob18:
My battery life is pretty good on CM9, something like 1% per hour drain with Wi-fi on, with Wi-fi off it is more like .2% per hour.

I was watching the logcat with Wi-fi on (screen off of course) and this message appears a lot:

D/NetlinkEvent( 145): Unexpected netlink message. type=0x0

The last few numbers vary. I believe that this is keeping the device awake far more than it should and I am fairly certain it has something to do with the Wi-fi driver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Odom Project:
Over the time of flashing various roms and such, I accumulate many different APK's for different things. I want to know what various APK's you have on your phone you'd like to share. Obviously no cracks, and preferably not something rom specific (such as various tools I have for MIUI). I will start it off with an APK for the microbes live wallpaper, as I love the paper, yet ICS n TW roms usually don't have it.

[Motorola Atrix 2] darthstewie:
Ok, so I picked an Atrix 2 when I jumped ship from Sprint, and I have a question about making custom wallpapers for this device. If I remember correctly, having a qHD screen means the wallpaper size is 1080x960, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to create a custom static wallpaper out of smaller images so that when I change screens between the five available each picture is different. I can't seem to find the right resolution balance to make it happen, so I thought I'd see if anyone can point me in the right direction. I was under the assumption that if I used 216x960 pictures that it would work, but I'm having issues. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
The resolution on the atrix2 is 540x960.
[Motorola Atrix 2] darthstewie:
I'm aware of that, but if you pull a default wallpaper, you'll find it's 1080x960. I think I may have found the answer though. Apparently Android doesn't allow for separate wallpapers on each home screen using the default launcher. Only way I can find is using an app on the market. Kind of a clunky way to do it, but it's working so far.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexcoupe2100:
I downloaded the above zip and moved it to my sd card however I am coming from version 4.5, I have been away from the updates and I just saw that 5.4 came out and it wont let me flash it. Do I need previous versions flashed first and where can I get a copy of previous versions? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moreno4xl:
Every time you're updating a Rom to a newer version is always suggested to do a Cache, Dalvik and Data wipe [Optional but for best results I recommend you do] then flash the update... Now if your update doesn't flash at all after you've done that then you might possibly have a bad download
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexcoupe2100:
I always do a Cache Dalvik and Data wipe everytime, I never had this problem with upgrading this ROM, I did realized that the zip file was kinda small as far as size. Since I had saved it in my desktop if I try to open it, it says "Please insert the last disk of the Multi-Volume set and click OK to continue? Does it sound like a bad download? I downloaded it from Team-Nocturnal website.

Thank you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexcoupe2100:
Nevermind.., I figured it out LOL I was starting to download of the ROM and before it finished downloading I was closing out the site and thats why I wasnt getting complete download of the ROM, thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Richie1409:
Just downloaded this new Launcher, it is a whole new concept and a little bit expensive ($17) I´m still getting used to it but it seems to be fast, stable and full of 3D effects and images. Not all the features are available right now since this is the first release, but I'm sure new cool features will be added in the few days.

What fo you think, has somenone tried it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I would never pay more than $1 for a launcher... maybe 2. That's gross... It looks kind of nice but screw that lol. I'm a guy that buys full versions of all my apps, but that? $17? Doh'kay
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
I think for $17, it better wash my car and cut my grass too, otherwise, it can pound salt. Seriously tho, I'd never pay that much for it and I'm sure few will. Let us know how you like it once you've played with it a bit more ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Reminds me of SPB Shell 3D launcher for $15...
[HTC Amaze 4G] syrenz:
I tried it out. I did not come away particularly impressed - especially for $17. SPB Shell was expensive at $15 - but its a lot prettier and currently more functional. I don't mind paying a premium for a launcher but it's really gotta be pretty amazing - and TSF doesn't cut it for me (also the fact that they just took the whole idea from TAT kinda bothers me).
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Agree... It would have to knock my sox off for me to pay for it. I think I paid $30 for logmein ignition years ago and about $15 yrs ago also. Those are 2 very high quality apps, so didn't mind one bit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
this actually looks really good. would pay 5 at the most for it, its actually different from other launchers though. not just a copy of GB or ICS or something "generic"
[HTC Amaze 4G] babymatteo:
Been using this too...and its super smooth. Its like MIUI mixed with SPB Shell.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
No way in hell I would pay17 smacks on any app. Maybe I am a cheapskate, I don't know.

[HTC Sensation] XenMaster:
HI all,

First post, so please be gentle with me!, I have been lurking here heavily for a couple of months since getting an android phone, and have to say it's a fantastic resource for getting the most out of android....

Now, on to the question.... I've played with various ROMs on my sensation XE, and love the functionality of ICS over GB but one thing that really really bugs me is ICS blue everywhere, it just clashes so badly with the red buttons on an XE....

I've been hoping I'm not the only one with this hangup and someone might release a sensation ICS ROM with different colours (either the green from GB, or even better an olive green!)....

Failing that it's a case of DIY I guess, I've been trying to figure out how, and think I'm beginning to get a handle on it but still havent found time to get my hands dirty (I'm new to android, but in another life 15 years ago was a unix sysadmin, so a lot of this is kinda familiar but half forgotten and still a lot to learn!)...

Now I've found some references to what would need changing in the ICS systemui and framework, guess I should find time to try it, but if there is someone with more experience that would like to see this, maybe they could lend me a hand or advice when it all goes pear shaped!?

Mike

I can't make phone calls when 3g is on, with 2g is fine. I went back from miui to cm7 and finally to stock and still i can't call.

Do you think is possible that some hardware failure can lead to this?

More info: changed baseband too, i have this problem also if i change sim
[LG Optimus 2x] mipr:
If you changed the BB on your phone then why don't you revert to the previous one and check?
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
I would not exclude a problem with your carrier's network
[LG Optimus 2x] gasgasgas:
I changed the baseband after this problem occured, I tried a different carrier (Vodafone, my carrier is TIM) and calling when 3g is on works :mad:

I'm gonna wait if they fix things
[LG Optimus 2x] FlynDual:
Maybe it could be obvious but...Did you try to change Ril by using getrill apk?

Non si sa mai ^_^
[LG Optimus 2x] gasgasgas:
Si (Yes) :D

I tried changing Radio with different basebands but I have the same result, call ended immediately.

Now I'm on Cyanogen 9 and i'm keeping the ril that comes with it.

Calling with 3g works under Vodafone Italy, Tim doesn't.

I've found a post (in Italian) of one guy having the same problem with TIM one month ago, like me he was thinking that the phone was the problem but it wasn't. For this guy the problem got magically solved, probably a TIM fix.
[LG Optimus 2x] gasgasgas:
Problem got solved automagically :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Electroman365:
I can't call when I have it on 2G only. Is that normal?
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:

[LG Optimus 2x] Electroman365:
Thanks for the reply, spica. I have no idea what that is let alone how to do it. I'm new to this and just barely scratching the surface of this phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Hi Electroman!

In O2X you have Baseband and RIL. I believe you can think of these as the antenna drivers/firmware.

When you change a ROM usually this changes the RIL, then it is recommended that you download an app called GetRIL to download a RIL that matches your Baseband.

If you go to Settings -> About Phone you will be able to check what's the version of your baseband.

It is possible to change this baseband. I think the easiest way is by flashing a zip file using CWM, I've never done it because I haven't had any issues with calling or data network or whatever.

Some people claim that some basebands are better with some networks than others, so your call quality might improve if you change baseband, depending on what network provider you have, but then again, I haven't had any issues so I wouldn't know.
[LG Optimus 2x] gasgasgas:
I'm almost sure that spica meant RIL, you can change it with an application called "GetRil" from the market, you need a phone with root available ( check the forums for that, it means you can run commands as you were the admin of your machine, unix style).

If that doesn't work i suggest two things: check other carriers with your phone, and check your sim card on other phones. So you can have an idea of what could be the problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] Electroman365:
Thanks again, LarsPT and gasgas. The thing is I haven't changed anything on the phone yet. Everything's still stock. I don't know but this could have something to do with the carrier I think. Maybe I'll give them a call.
[LG Optimus 2x] Electroman365:
It turns out Windmobile doesn't support 2G, and that's why the phone didn't show any signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] birdpcfireworks:
I'm running Toro build 26, 4.0.3 with Franco's kernel 18.6.

For the last several days at least, I've noticed when I go to listen to music the volume is completely subpar. I tried using the setting in Franco's app to boost the volume, but it does nothing. What's weird, though, is if I get a text message while music is playing, it immediately becomes roughly 200% louder. This continues until I pause the song. I've started sending myself text messages when it does this to fix my volume. Is there an easier way, or is this a known bug in something,?

Also, if it's relevant, I'm using Handcent's sms app and PowerAmp.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beans3660:
Same issue. I'm using google music though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Try setting the Max volume setting at 13... Magic :-) Or install Milestone 1 and set it to 10. (Serious guys... It's all in Franciscofranco's kernel thread. Had the same problem and Francisco advised me those. Worked perfectly for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] birdpcfireworks:
Thanks! I had been thinking it might have been PowerAmp. I'll try that out and post back if it works.

Edit 3/8/12

It did work, thanks! I think the nightly builds of Franco's fix that issue anyway, but it did work before I tried them. Much appreciated!

you must download and install the European firmware with installer KDZ
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Look into my noob how to and follow the second guide with the R&D tool procedure. Plus of course you need the v20n europe open firmware. Google for it. This way you will get europe open, although I dont see the advantages of it...

To unroot in a way that is harder for lg to detect it all that I have to do is update using the R&D tool?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Yes, and delete files from SD card. Of course, use the Software, that you can also get from B2C. But I guess you can also simply make an emergency recovery with B2C and then perform another factory reset from within the phone, just to be on the safe side ;)

Both the galaxy s and iphone 4s have 512 RAM. So why is that it is almost impossible to multitask on the galaxy s while on the 4s you can leave loads of apps open to and when you come back to them you find that they are STILL open. On the galaxy s if you exit an app to come back to it 5mins later it will probably be closed.

cause android multitasking is basically ****( but better than iOS I guess) and samsung software is the worst.u can get rid of the samsung part by using custom roms and kernels but no way of getting rid of the android part.the only reason Android sells is cause of the apps and cheaper prices.like what appstore for iOS.for example:symbian is a great os with the real multitasking but come to apps now-not much really.plus supposedly sgs uses up memory for the gpu it seems.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
OT: On iOS, most apps are not really open when you go to another app. Only some apps are really allowed to be active in the background. Most others are "frozen" and can not do anything, there are seven categories which define what apps can do.

Android in contrary does real multitasking. When you leave an app with the home button it is still running, therefore consuming CPU and RAM.

But on the galaxy s if Im n stick cricket, press the homebutton and go on something else when i want to return to it the game will reload from the start. No multitasking whatsoever.

The Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) is based on SoC Samsung Exynos 3110 (ARM Cortex A8) also know as Hummingbird S5PC110, this SoC have physically really 512Mb RAM and the SGS is advertised to have 512Mb RAM.

Take now the Samsung Galaxy S SL (i9003) which is based on SoC TI OMAP 3630 (Cortex-A8) also advertised as a 512Mb smartphone but with a 640Mb DDR SoC. When you boot under 2.3.x on stock ROM, the I9000 have nearly 330-335Mb free RAM and the I9003 have 455-460. But the I9003 is ALSO advertised as a 512Mb smartphone !

Having 128Mb difference is a huge problem, having less memory for SAME ADVERTISED RAM SIZE implies to use much more LMK and have a real impact on user experience. There is a VERY good post about LMK by pikachu01 here. Read the "Best Practices" and think about it !
