[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Kawadude:
Hi,

since a week or so my u8800 suffers from a huge battery drain.

Today i just got 10hours out of it and almost did nothing. (4min. phone call/ 10messages/ max. 10min surfing)

The last 10% of battery was gone in 30 seconds.

It all started last week when my phone was on stock 2.2. Then i updated to the latest stock 2.3.5, but still the same problem.

Model number : u8800

Android version : 2.3.5

base band version : 404020

Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf Android@localhost#1

Build number : U8800V100R001C00B528G001

I also wanted to calibrate the battery, but i can't root the phone. Tried every program out there :(

Anyone got the same problem or has a solution ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] schuessm:
Hello Kawadude,

I use superoneklick and it works fine to root the device. Hier ist the how to, what you must do before use superonklick:

- Dial * # * # 2846579 # * # *

- Go to projectmenu, background settings, log settings, log switch and set Log on

- Reboot phone

- Set USB debugging on

- Run superonklick http://depositfiles.com/files/n0dcxce3t or http://shortfuse.org/

Hope it helps
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Kawadude:
Already tried that without a result.

I also tried DooMLoRD v4, Unlock Root and One-click Root.

Since i installed the official 2.3.5 i can't root my device annymore. On stock 2.2 this wasn't a problem.

Hello, do you keep wi fi enabled at all times? i noticed my battery drains increased greatly when i leave my wifi on 24/7
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Kawadude:
No, wifi is only enabled when I'm at home.

A couple of weeks ago the battery life was just fine. (With the same usage)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Close any application in your pc that might try to connect with an android device (like huawei's or Asus PC Sync, etc). Those applications use the adb driver and block superoneclick. Check if windows recognize your device and install it properly. Hum... That's all I can think of... ;-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
Try this. I did hear that this last release from huawei (B528) couldn't be/was really hard to get rooted. I haven't tried this, just found it. Credit to @Igory0k.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Kawadude:
Didn't work for me.

The phone rebooted and freezed at the huawei logo.

The only thing i didn't find is step 6: "6.log setting-dump & log-on"
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tmp341:
You have to do it, rooting apps need that option :)

And launcher apps etc. don't install them, your battery won't drain :D Uninstall unnecessary apps too :)

[TouchPad General] major payne:
Does anyone know of a program on Android that will shows the voltage that it is getting from the touchstone? I ask this as I have seen many people complain that it takes a bit to charge on the android side. On the WebOS side it works wonders.

thanks for the time and hopefull i can help track down the charging issue
[TouchPad General] bobtidey:
It is not so much the voltage you need to know but the charge current. Battery Monitor Widget app will tell you lots about battery including charge rates.
[TouchPad General] major payne:
So with the program mentioned above I took a total of 3 pictures with the touchpad on the touchstone and with just the cord. The first picture will be with it on the touchstone and the one 2 will be with the cable. you should see that on the touchstone it is about 480 where as the cable is 1300. With in a few moments it dropped to offer 900. Of course without the webos information this does not mean allot yet.hoping to get with rod Whitby and talk to him about the webos side of charging
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
I dont know about the touchstone specifically, but I did test the charging between webos and android and they are nearly identical with the cable. Took an hour to charge 31% in android and an hour to charge 31% with WebOS.
[TouchPad General] major payne:
The cable should be pretty much standard but I could almost swear that the touchstone charges faster. I have in the past seen it charge faster.I'm almost passive
[TouchPad General] quarlow:
I haven't noticed a difference in charge speed on the touchstone in android vs webOS.

The govna preware package will give some battery/charge information.

[TouchPad General] bobtidey:
I think that to get accurate figures when using this app you have to tell it what the battery capacity is in its settings. This should be set to 6000maH for the TP.
[TouchPad General] stuart_f:
You know that you don't need any special app, just:

cat /sys/power/charger/currentlimit

and you'll see what current your TP is charging at.

I have searched around on Google but can't find a description of the audio.conf file (and the settings inside it).

Can someone please help? I would like to try route the audio in different ways to solve the bluetooth mute problem but don't understand the formats.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gg48gg:
This is a fair question. Some documentation on this file and what the settings mean would be nice, instead of just forum posts saying "try these settings". I am surprised a google search doesn't yield a manual page for this file.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KnowNothing:
It's been a while since I've logged in to see what's going on, and I can't believe all the changes!

I'm beyond NooB status, so please bear with me. When I rooted, I only ever got as far as freezing the Device Mgr, and my software version says Unavailable. Never got as far as getting BN functionality back. Because I was worried about still getting the OTAs, I leave the wi-fi off when I'm not using it.

A. Is leaving the wi-fi off really necessary?

B. I heard there are N2A cards out. Because I have no BN functionality and my software version says Unavailable, can I still use this card? I'm hoping to get the BN stuff back without having to do the real steps that all you pros take, because frankly, I shouldn't be messing with this stuff.

Thanks so much for whatever help you can give!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farris:
The vibration level of the DZ is very, very loud... when I have the phone on my table, everyone can here the phone vibrating, and even during a meeting, when I have my phone in my pocket, everyone can hear it.

All my other phones (except for my HTC's) were perfect, it's just HTC with their crappy vibration. My HTC Wizard had it, my HTC TyTN II had it too.

Is it possible with some hacks to reduce the virbation level in Gingerbread? I saw that option in ICS, but there's nothing like it in Gingerbread... is there any hack?

It's very annoying that I can't put my phone on vibrate during meetings, because even that is too loud...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertxkills:
I know what you're asking and I have no idea, but one thing I noticed is having certain cases will reduce the vibration noise when the phone is on a hard surface, as will placing the phone on a softer surface.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farris:

Hello!

I can see a new rom in virtuous official site: S4X.

It is a porting of sense 4.0 with ics for sensation and EVO 3D.

There is no way to port this rom to htc desire z?

Someone have never ported a rom from sensation to desire z?

thanks in advantage
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crestofawave:
It can be ported

Matter of fact is, some peopla are already working on a Sense 4.0 port over from the MT4G dev section. Apparently they can't get it to boot. We'll definitely be seeing a Sense 4.0 ROM in the coming days.

With that said, there's a ton of such threads about Sense 4.0 already, and we really really really don't need more. So, please, there's no need for such threads, don't make them!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagash91:
Ok, but I couldn't find information about the virtuous rom with sense 4 rom.

I know that virtuous have a lot of rom compatibles with desire z, so I mean if someone know something about a possible porting of this rom and a possible official support of this rom (for desire z) from virtuous team.

I don't want to make useless thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
So I recently purchased this MicroUSB adapter for my Galaxy note. It works perfect most of the time but sometimes have random HDMI signal loss when messing around with the device. Many other people have experienced this with other MHL adapters with other devices, so I figured it could just be the software. Overall the whole experience isnt as smooth as I assumed(lag?).

Does anyone know how to just render graphics through HDMI and not on the Note Display?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tefloncoated:
I bought one:

A little cheaper and works great, very few issues with the signal drop out...

As far as i know - it only works in mirror mode - whats on the Note is on the TV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
Apparently this HDMI cable charges the phone while it's in use.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063J9F6C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A2FI1E57JSSMJ2

Yes, but you must connect a charger/power source to it to work, kinda like a power injector. Still accomplishes the goal, you obviously are getting no juice from your TV or monitor. :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukic:
I use THIS by Menotec. So far, about 20 movies, no signal drops yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
That sucks... I think hdmi output only would greatly reduce the lag, esp when playing games.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
TVs that support MHL can power and recharge devices through the HDMI port. It's the best part about Mobile High-definition Link. My guess is that product isn't really MHL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Then perhaps this is a convience feature for TVs that do not fully support MHL and will accept the HDMI signal but not passing power downstream. One way to find out, someone has to test this theory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
Anyone with a Samsung UN55D8000 or UN55D6300 TV? I know those have MHL support. Unfortunately, I have the prior year's model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a_ok2me:
Low on Power?

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10419&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2

It says here you need adequate power to drive the adapter. Maybe while using your device, you drained some power. Also maybe the AWG on your cable had something to do with it too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] justinmcnairy:
I just bought me a hdmi cable version 1.4 as it is the latest version and use the adapter came with the Infuse on the Note and it worked perfectly!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bsw11:
I have the Infuse HDMI cable - it does not seem to work. Is it the adapter or the fact that I am running a ROM and Kernels from this forum?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bman17:
I have a UN60D8000 and silly me have always been using the power adapter for the phone.

I'll have to try it without the power to see if it works.

Cause if the 55D8000 has MHL support then the 60" VERSION should.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aznrice2k4:
The tricky thing about the infuse one is that you have to connect everything else to it then connect the microusb to the phone. It works because I've been using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bsw11:
That did it! The key is EVERYTHING - as in the power usb must also be connected.

[LG Thrill 4G] hidarez:
I finally had enough and jumped ship. I got what I originally wanted but was too impatient to wait, the Galaxy Skyrocket. I had to dish out full price (used) but it's worth it. The amount of frustration using the Thrill was far outweighing the cost of just getting a new phone. i've found that the only thing that made the Thrill bearable was by flashing CM7 but then you lose any benefit of having it to begin with (3d).

FTR, I had flashed GB O3D rom on this phone and used that for the past 3 months or so prior to finally flashing CM7 and losing the 3d.

The 3d isn't worth the disadvantages of having this phone after all and I wish I had listened to others from the beginning. Even with CM7, the phone is nowhere near as snappy and productive as the STOCK bloated rom on the Samsung Galaxy S2 phones. Prior to having the Skyrocket, I didn't quite understand what the advantage would be, if you compared specs to specs. Apparently there is something else other than hardware specs that makes one android phone simply better than the other hands down. Sorry for the rant, but I am posting this in case others who have been putting up with their Thrill have been on the fence and don't know what they're missing. I bought the Thrill 1 week prior to its release date and have been a trooper putting up with it until this week. I'm so glad to be done with it, it's now sitting in my junk drawer. Good riddance!

i dont know why ppl hate this phone so much i love it after rooting it and putting a custom rom on it rocks the house have no problems with missed calls or sms's np gettting a full day out of the battery now that were off froyo my buddy at work has an sg2 and my phone is just as fast as his phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] Voradeaur:
I do not know why people are complaining about this phone either... I have put the thriller rom on it and the battery is lasting for almost 2 full days now... I still have my 3D (which if you ask me is much nicer in theory than it is in actuality.) and rarely use it... You people that are complaining about it as you are, are just too damn picky... Lighten up and enjoy the phone for what it can do. Dont just jump on the "oh i cant upgrade to GB so its shyt" bandwagon...
[LG Thrill 4G] TylDurden:
We're complaining because some of us (myself) ditched the iPhone for a more "open" platform that we wouldn't have to worry about hacking as much so we could do stuff that a phone should do without jailbreaking. I was always doing stuff to my iPhone to the point where it was very unstable an I just wanted to go legit. So I got an Android, now the only way to get anything out of it is to mod and hack again, which bumps you right back into that "sketchy" territory. I'm glad roms and hacks work for you but there are cons to those pro's as well. I've spent far to much time flashing KDZ's on this phone trying to get it functional. Not a single GB worked for me and I tried them all. I always had ghost calls. I've been considering the SGSII so I'm glad to hear it's as good as I think/hope it is.

Update: to further reply to your "I don't know why your complaining" comment about "being too damn picky" All I want is for my phone to last 1 day and not miss any phone calls. Oh, and not freeze in the middle of a game or app. On froyo my battery life is ****e and there is tons of freezing. On GB I miss calls and texts on a regular basis. Now tell me I'm being picky.
[LG Thrill 4G] sketch2k278:
I don't think it's the case of being too picky, it's the quality of the phone and the company that gets people. Think about it LG knew the battery life of these phone would be shytty while testing it but they still released it.... plus to my understanding their updating progress is way to long of a wait for such a powerful phone, by the time we "may" get an ICS update jellybean will be out (I think) As for my experience with thrill my only issue was the battery life (which I took care of) other than that I love my phone and very satisfied with it
[LG Thrill 4G] Mad383Max:
I used one of my upgrades to get a galaxy note. Stock for stock the thrill was almost as fAst as it and scored much better on fps in graphics tests. I've oc'd the note now and the thrill doesn't come close. I could see the thrill being just as quick oc'd and tweaked. And, the thrill plays more games without having to do any tweaking. Don't get me wrong, i gave the thrill to my son and will probably never go back to the thrill only because of the screen size and lte. Though i did give the son strict orders to take care of it as i want it back when he finally upgrades.

Posts like this crack me up, hence my screen name haha. I love this phone. It's got an awesome screen, super fast dual core processor and a high quality feel to the build. All the samsung phones just feel like they're made out of toy plastic. I'm also glad LG doesn't try to overwhelm us with an over-the-top Android overlay such as Sense, TouchWiz, MotoBlur, etc. I replaced the stock launcher with launcher pro as soon as I got it and it got much better battery life. LG Home is a battery sucker and a resource hog. I like the widgets they provided with it too, they're really classy and useful. For a phone with only 512 MB of RAM, I usually manage to get around 200 MB of RAM free when I'm not running anything. Try asking someone with a Captivate how much of their memory they can get free (usually about 100 MB or less), they'll be shocked when you say you can get that. I think the people who complain are too unfamiliar with the Android operating system and its customizability and were just looking for something that works without any tweaking. If you want something like that, just get an iphone. And I'm not knocking that at all, Apple only builds one phone for a reason, so they can concentrate on it and make it work flawlessly despite any perceived hardware shortcomings. But I'm glad I chose my Thrill so I can make it do what I want it to do, and it does. And nothing beat the price point this thing was at back in September.

i havent had any problems with lg support there always straight up with me told me when were getting ics when i asked and also to the guy above you i get 200 to 250mb free when i close all my apps so i cant complain at all :D

i know some ppl have this ghost call thing but you ever think its your carrier and not lg ive used all the roms that claim to have gc probs and i never had any.

I eligible to upgrade and a white galaxy note is what I might get depending on how long at&fee decides to update to ics. Along with that a lag fix and price drop.
[LG Thrill 4G] TylDurden:
I never get more than 100 ram free unless I just stopped playing a heavy game and that's only for a few seconds before everything launches again. What in the world are you doing to get 200 free?
[LG Thrill 4G] lg_haters_make_me_lol:
Are you using the stock launcher or a (better) one from the market? I use launcher pro, and it uses much less resources from what I can tell. Whenever I tried going back to LG Home, I noticed there was so much less free memory in the app manager. Actually right now I only have about 76 MB free, but that's because I let Gmail, Go SMS Pro, Opera Mobile, Pandora, and the finance app stay in there because I use them all the time. If I clear them out I'll be over 160 MB and in the green easy.
[LG Thrill 4G] xstokerx:
well i have thiaz03d rom 2.6 and it has lgs newest launcher then i used that post in the 03d forum to remove all the apps that im not using and froze every thing that i didnt want to delete that i dont us i pertty much striped my phone right down and install only the files for my phone and apps i use to run. o and hardly any thing runs in the back ground.

The phone is what you make of it. All smartphones are. if you dont like battery life, find the culprit and eliminate it. If you dont like stock, root it. If you dont like something you have acquired because you didnt do your homework dont whine about it in a place where people are trying to make the best of what they have chosen. Keep your mouth shut and move on. Dont like the phone, go write a review on cnet.
