Unfortunaly i do not know wiui. but i can tell you that pikachu its amazing. i really really like it and it runs soooo smooth on my defy.

To be honest i liked my "stock" defy. but it was starting to make me feel anxious about the problems with the response speed, touch screen, and so on...

but really really it all changed since this rom.

Of course...i do not know if this happend with ALL the roms, as ive only tested on one. But im not going to try another, at least until a stable ice cream comes down.

(Hopefully....a pikachu edition XD)

Hope this helps
[Defy General] ashwanikoul:
Since there was no reply I decided to try both out.

Both are equally good concerning the speed stability and customizations once installed.

If wiui could include aroma installer they would be equal. Or may be better.

But for now the cake is pikachu for giving options to choose not to install crapware.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mace242:
My Transformer stopped charging last night - think my power adapter has borked! :( I do so wish they had used a standard charger as I have loads that should work but don't because of it. Oh welll - it's under 6 months old and UK law is pretty good so back to the shop later to make them replace it. I'll have to argue though as they'll refuse to start with.

Got it trickle charging for today to see if it's up and running for later.

I do really wish that people could make stuff that lasted. OH's iPad has lasted for 2 years (ish) with no issues at all. Both my Android pads have failed within 6 months (though one was an Archos and the build quality was dire).

Cross fingers for me...

Well thanks to you all that suggested the freezer fix. Worked perfectly.

For all those in history that stumble on this post - what I did was put it in a zip lock bag and in the freezer for 15 mins. All worked fine after that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] outpox:
I nerver had any charging or charger issue since my first phone, that means about 2 years.

Did you tried another with another charger ? I mean try your usb wire on an other charger
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mace242:
Other chargers won't work as they don't put out enough power. I am seeing if the cable is the issue by attempting a trickle charge. If that doesn't work then the TF itself is at fault.

I've not had many issues with stuff at all. Just the two android tablets I've had. Suppose I could just be unlucky.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] solom01:
I don't know if it's luck. Although we all want low prices I think cost savings by the manufacturers have gotten to the point where quality has suffered. I've never had any problems with electronics but I'm on my THIRD rma with my Transformer, the powerswitch broke, the dock was draining the tablet, and now after ICS it's not working at all. I would gladly have paid more for a higher build quality. It may be a coincidence, but no more Asus for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raze1000:
Put the charger in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Worked for me
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
If it turns out that the charger is bad, rather than replace it with another poorly designed charger, get a Dynex.DX-UA universal charger. Then you will have both AC and Dc charging capability.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mace242:
I'll give it a go - nothing ventured. I feel a row with the guys at Commet coming on though. Thankfully it's less than 6 months old so they have to do everything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shibby80:
this is how i fixed mine lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrlooneytoon:
Put it in an air tight bag ziploc before putting it in the freezer?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mace242:
Yep - figured as much - home in an hour so we'll know in an hour and a half....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mace242:
Worked for me too....:D Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tastycakess:
Try to play w/ internal connections on the charger. Mine was jacked up and never charged half the time so I slid the wall plug off of it and bent the wires so they pressed a little harder against the inside and haven't had issues in 6 months.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theraffman:
Unfortunately this is a common issue. I have 3 tf 101s and one of them came with a borked charger. All those tricks work butthe issue will almost be guaranteed to return. Just go but a charger from radio shack or something... They make a 12v charger that has interchangeable connectors, including USB. Works like a charm... Sets you back about 20 bucks but well worth it.

Asus build quality does have some issues, I nor anyone I know personally have ever had problems aside from the chargers. But you hear of plenty of issues here... Honestly most are user generated issues with bad flashes and inproper use, but there are legitimate issue as well. Dock drain is the most notorious that comes to mind, but even a lot of those were because people had the no sleep while charging setting enabled.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] LuCkyCn:
Charge

My tablet doesn't charge over 80%... is this common?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sharpe351:
Try charging over night and then go into recovery and wipe battery stats and reboot. That may fix your issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] LuCkyCn:
I didn't root my tablet. I bought this tablet 7 days ago and i was never able to get it past 80%. I have tried turning it off and then charging and that didn't work either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] modum:
Same thing happened to me. None of the recommendations worked. I ended up purchasing another (official) charger from Office Depot for about $29. I needed to buy another one anyway. The broken adapter is on its way to ASUS via RMA. Note: the shipping may take 2-3 weeks. I didn't like that since I use my transformer a lot when I travel for business.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] atrohde:
Putting in the freezer worked for me. The real question is how long will it last and why did it stop working in the first place? Going to call Asus to see if they'll send me a replacement.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] travieman:
I have the same problem now. You should try this to charge it:

1) have the tablet turned on

2) connect power supply like you ordinarily would to charge

3) turn of the tablet by the power button

4) profit?

If you can't get it to turn on

1)plug in your cable to charge

2) if it boots do the above steps if not hold down the power button till it shuts off and quickly hold down the power and volume up button(apex mode) and let it charge

I'm shipping my tablet back for repairs at the end of the month.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] haimg:
I had the same issue, and the following solution worked for me (fixed my charger in under 3 minutes!). Basically you use a small screwdriver and bend two contacts inside the USB port on your charger a little bit.

Unfortunately I cannot post a youtube video yet, but here's the link that shows how to do it:

I recently installed the newest MIUI build which is running pretty stable for me :) however the latest Whatsapp is not installing (says it's incompatible...). I found this thread which tells me that I can install an old version of the program and be able to run it, however every time I open it, it asks me to update to the newer version (and surprise! Whatsapp doesn't "support" custom ROMs). Is there any way to trick the Market (or "Play"...horrible name btw) to install? Thanks!!

[Xperia Arc General] mety333:
OK after i got my Arc S i already saw better battery than my old X10.

but after a while it started to get all "android" on me again in terms of ****ty battery.

after using better battery stats and digging all the web for solutions on the subject (yes i got pretty obsessed about battery ever since i had android), i've pretty much found out 3 simple stuff that pretty much takes up most of your battery on standby and even actual use of an android phone.

before i did that i woke up 8 hours later just to find out that at night on standby my battery ran from 100% to 86-90% when i woke up. (on my x10 i woke up with 76-80% lol)

keep in mind im a very heavy usage user on my android and i do literally EVERYTHING ON IT.

anyway 3 simple stuff to do:

1. log out of latitude, drains the battery like crazy.

2. disable auto sync for gmail, contacts and regular email (i use hotmail so i use the email app, dont have gmail)

3. be connected to your home or office wi-fi as much as possible.

keep in mind i do have whatsapp in the background and other regular apps that still ran as a service but they dont drain battery much apparently (i thought they were always the problem btw)

i unplugged my arc s from the charger with 100% fully charged battery at 4am and went to sleep..

..woke up 11 hours later at 3pm (yes weird day lol), had 18 missed calls, 6 sms messages and 5 voicemails which means the phone had the screen on for each call and the speaker played my ringtone every call and sms and even voicemail notification plus i had my alarm clock which i kept pressing the snooze on..

i was amazed to be with 96% after 11 hours!!!!! OMG

at the same day at 11pm i was left with 27% battery after all day had 1:20 hours voice calls, 2:50 hours screen display on.

i was also outside and im always on 3g and also used my gps on google maps for about 20 min.

finally happy about my frikin battery on my android device !!

edit:

my setup:

custom gingerbread rom with ice cream theme,

locked bootloader,

rooted,

supercharged V6

"If you want to save battery on your smart phone, don't use it as a smart phone."

Of course background services will use energy, but I have them on for a reason.

The best battery saving tips (for those who use their phones)are brightness and keep an eye out of resource hogs and unwanted background services (Facebook app).

I found that rooting and removing all the bloat-ware vastly improved my battery life as it gave more RAM which meant my phone had to do less memory management.

This app is a very convenient and simple way to view your battery usage.

[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
If you have a android and have done the registration on the first time, you have a GMAIL acc. :D :D

Btw, add this solution. Works for every phone.

- Go to WiFi & network settings > Mobile Network > Networkmode > Set it to "ONLY GSM"

this will make the mobile-antenna to find one connection and stand there (Mostly this gives the best signal strenght), but the WCDMA and WCDMA/GSM will search for other connections all the time and consume more battery :mad:

the only negative side with GSM is that your calls will connect 1~2 sec. slower compared to WCDMA and if you fall out of the signal range, youre out untill the antenna finds new one (but the strenght is good so dont worry)
[Xperia Arc General] zangetsu2188:
Or you can set it to WCDMA only. :) Setting it to GSM only would be disadvantageous as most smartphone users need a data plan and 3G has far better internet speed. :D

Turning off the auto sync helped me a lot. I just manually check my email at regular intervals. :D
[Xperia Arc General] ArmorD:
Seiously, these are all the most obvious "battery tweaks". Tose are the first things that would come up in my mind...
[Xperia Arc General] fluxgfx:
I can safely say it's not a definite solution.

Most if not have already turned the Auto sync off.

Latitude for most users doesn't run to start with and even in some cases not even

installed.

Wifi and HSPA is a given this is pretty much ON all the time for most since were power users. (6gb data plan) can't complain for 20$.

Bluetooth in some cases but rare.

Full charge your phone and if your a power user within 14 to 16hours your usually left with about 10% battery usage.

Take into consideration that this is a rooted Xperia Arc S with bootloader locked.

If I leave it alone fully charge when I go to bed and wake up in the morning I usually have about 7% gone in roughly 8hours of standby that is taking into account your have the standard 1500mah battery.

I would highly suggest getting the 1700mah MUGEN battery it's worth the extra 50$. May not make much difference for some but it does for other.
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
Thats right, but if you dont use the mobilenetwork, the GSM is best
[Xperia Arc General] auni:
Nothing new actually. In standby/idle mode I loose hardly 4-5% in 7 hours during night.

These are the most common battery tweaks.

In fact if the phone is alive (with 10% left) after 20 hours of heavy use, then i am happy.

With my Rooted device with 0.58 firmware, i get a 18-20 hours [brightness set to 40% always] of heavy using that includes, 2hrs of browsing on WiFi, 2 hrs of music, 40 mins HDGame, 2-3 hours voice call, 30-40 mins of video (occasional) and i check email in every hour and and reply, so that's good for me.
[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
I appreciate you sharing your advice, but there are some points that are not so convenient and here is why:

Why not leave the phone plugged in while you're sleeping?

Stock Arc battery has overcharging protection, which means that there is no risk harming it if you leave it on charger for 8-10 hours.

It will charge to 100%, then decrease to 95% and start charging again.

As a matter of fact, those small charge cycles can turn out to be beneficial for the new technology Li-Pol batteries.

Agreed.

But there are cases when people use Latitude to their convenience.

For example, I tend to leave it on while travelling and I've taught my father how to use it on his (my old) X10 so that he won't have to call me all the time to see where I am. :D

Now that just doesn't make any sense.

One of the major Android features is that you can get your Gmail messages instantly and, in some cases, even substitute text messaging altogether.

I have 3 Gmail accounts on my phone and they are in autosync 24/7, because otherwise my phone is pretty much as useful as a Nokia S40 phone. :p

Not to mention that polling (refresh at a specified rate) drains way more battery than push notifications which Gmail utilises.

Agreed.

Especially in low signal areas, WiFi can save battery because the phone doesn't constantly trying to establish data connection. However, forgetting to turn WiFi off when leaving your home or office hotspot range can result in even bigger drain, as the phone will intermittently look for available WiFi hotspots.

Personally, I feel you are sacrificing vital features just to stall your battery meter.

This is not as wise as you make it appear to be, because if each one of us carefully considers it, we will realise that there are very few hours within the day that a plug is not accessible. We have cars -there are car chargers, we are at home -obviously there are sockets, we are at the office -there are PCs thus USB ports. Heck, I've even charged my phone on a DVD player with a USB port in a presentation room once! In my opinion, it's about time we stop whining about how "our old phones lasted a week even if we were playing Snake all day" and adopt new charging habits.

Then again, how one uses their phone, it's their business.

However, the thread title can be considered misleading, as I reckon your advice is respectable, but in no way a widely applicable solution.
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
If I'm staying over at a bud's place/gf's place and have no charger/microusb handy, or I'm out and battery is running low, I do one thing:

1. Turn off data (I use a nice on-screen toggle for this).

This alone lets my battery last faaaaar longer.
[Xperia Arc General] -PiLoT-:
Why dont you but a nokia 3310 and stop whining?

the reason we buy these phones is cause of the amount of things we do on them. disabling these features is just pointless and turns the phone back intoa dumb phone

After rooting android the warranty is stable or what???
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejstubbs:
Rooting voids the warranty. Just make sure that you can un-root first, or accept the risk...

Note: just because the warranty is void, that doesn't mean that Motorola won't repair the phone if you break it. However, any repair not covered by the warranty will be chargeable. And remember that the warranty only covers defects, not accidental damage.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanna91:
Even though the rooting voids the warranty .. you can revert back to the base rom..only thing that u need to do is .. check weather the Fixed SBF for Ur region (India in Ur case) is available for download or not .. if yes... then after rooting and installing Clockworkmod take a complete system back up of ur present stock ROM...then go on with either CM7 or CM9 ..

Now when u want to come back to stock ..just flash the SBF of ur region and do a nandroid restore of ur backup ..unroot ..Finish ..u r back on stock again :)

I have Motorola XT701 (Milestone,Motoroi or whatever) and I flashed a sbf and the wifi has very good signal but I don't have the android market. If I try to root and install a much better rom with market the wifi signal is very weak. I tried to open the sbf and the CG39.smg (system image) and replaced the app folder in there but when I compile the new sbf I can't flashed because the RSD is giving checksum errors! I had installed even CM7 wich is great at speed and market is present but the wifi has very weak signal. In all roms I had this problem maybe because most of them are for the milestone A853 or A953 or whatever? Should I edit a specific CGxx.smg? The wifi signal is the only problem I have after I root, but I like the phone very much!
