I'm having problems with my Vivid not entering deep sleep; when I look at the battery usage graph detail I have a solid line for "awake." So something is keeping a wakelock on my phone. I tried using CPUSpy, but I get an error about not being able to read "states."

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Running stock rooted 4.0.3.

My battery life suddenly decreased by 60%. I know this thread is old as hell but figured out the problem for myself... The orange LED indicating a charge (or even the software) will say charging when it's not. I realized my charger was only halfway in the power strip.. turns out the outlet or cord was bad still not sure but yea. :good::highfive:

Dead Battery

Well, it finally happened to mine. I never let it fully discharge, usually get two days on a full charge as I am a light user. It was at 100% this morning, didn't use it that much today, put some data into my gas records and drove home. Got home, phone was dead as the proverbial doornail. I got it in June, so I am going to try to see if I can get a replacement battery, AT&T has usually been very nice about things like that. Right now, the battery is charging(?) in my external battery charger "just in case it works". No real hope, seen too many cases where the battery was just dead. Usually happens when people let the battery go to 0, but not this time. I figure it is luck of the draw.

Cheers,

Chris

Update: The external charger did the trick, put the battery back in and it booted! Worked fine.

Note: I highly recommend the Anker battery charger. I got it for my previous phone, but it works for everything.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] stephimariee:
My battery lasted a lot longer when I first got the phone. Now with my data turned on with light use I only get about 6 hours maybe? So I tend to turn my data off while I'm at school all day and I only drop to 90% at the least by the end of the school day, so that's nice.

better battery stats
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yosoywilson78:
Its too bad that the battery has to suck. I inherited this phone & if I didn't have a spare battery this phone would be unuseable. I've got it at its best battery life now on icess 0.4 ROM & kozmikkick beta 13. uv'd .375mv with slight oc at 1.5ghz core 0 badass core 1 conservative. I like the phone but hate the battery life, which is usually 6 hours give of take dependant on usage.

Battery on CM 10 is much better
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what I've seen in the little bit I've looked at it.

Setting Core 1 to anything but ondemand will utilize core 1 all of the time, rather than just when it's needed. Leaving it OnDemand will only turn on core 1 when it's necessary, which should save some battery. However 6 hours is as bad as it was on stock, so either you haven't found the best rom/kernel combination, you have a rogue app that's draining, or you need a new battery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yosoywilson78:
From what I see, no matter the setting on cpu1, its always used as needed. It will show offline unless there is something taxing running in the background or at boot. Or I manually turn it on. And I should say my usage is heavy, my business requires me to be constantly on my phone. Usage for me is probably much more than the average. But battery life is terrible regardless in contrast to my iPhone or the last android phone I owned, the Atrix.

I'd have to agree with you. I've tried many ROMS here and can barely make it a day on a charge with light to medium usage. It's probably the LCD display that was designed poorly
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Your on a sense base according to your signature?

If you're using it as a phone... turn your processor down...

I'd try like 918 on demand...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
Or interactive.. I have better results using interactive instead of on deamand
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Ghitim:
i like useing interactivex since it locks the cpu at min feq when the screen is off
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Unless you are doing some kind of streaming... that is placebo...

When your phone screen is off... it should be in deep sleep... not really running the processor at all...

And... I am noticing that when tasker runs my sync... and I have interactivex on... I wind up with my calendar keeping my phone awake...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megadave123:
I have a 80 G9 (16GB) . It came with 3.2.79, I updated to 3.2.80 when it came out.

I successfully rooted 3.2.80 using information from this site.

This weekend I tried to update to the new 4.0.4. The update seemed to "hang", and I ended up forcing a power-off.

I subsequently used the recovery menu to do a full system format, and then tried to reinstall the 4.0.4 firmware - I've tried this a few times and each time it *seems* to be successful. After copying the AOS file to the device over USB, and selecting "ok", it says to leave the USB connected, a progress bar winds its way across the bottom of the screen, and then it reboots.

However, each time when it tries to boot, it just sits at the animated boot logo and never proceeds further. I've even tried letting it sit overnight - when I checked it in the morning after allowing it 6+ hours, it was STILL just sitting there rolling that bright bar across the "ARCHOS" logo..

I've tried to go back to 3.2.80, it gives an "update failed" on that every time I try.

I did the "remove developer edition" in the recovery menu, thinking perhaps the official firmware was balking on a 'rooted' device. Reformat, recopy AOS file, reboot, still no cigar..

I tried downloading the AOS file again, no luck..

Am I now the not-so-proud owner of a flat shiny brick? Is there some other procedure I can try? Has anyone else experienced this?

ANY advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If anyone needs more details or other info just let me know.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
1. Download update .aos again (just to be sure)

2. Boot to recovery

3. Select Reset Android option

4. Install update

I hope this helps
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megadave123:
I've already done 2,3,4 several times. I managed to get a hold of someone at Archos that said that the file gets validated when it goes to update, and I'd get an error if it was corrupt. It doesnt give me an error there, it accepts the file.

As I'm currently on a slow hotel Internet connection, does anyone have an md5sum or sha1sum of their ICS .aos file I can use to validate mine against? (Annoying that Archos doesnt include a hash on their site)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
Update .aos file is digitally signed (this also includes checksums of contents). If signature check fails recovery will not flash it.

My guess is that you'll have to give tablet to service unfortunately

In case anyone cares, I did in fact end up sending it back, and they sent me a replacement.

The replacement had ICS on it, and has in fact since OTA's another update without any problem.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ste_JDM:
I cant believe you got through to support. I have been trying for the best part of 3 months and got no reply. I am new to XDA since I recently got a HTC Sensation. Saw that we have this section here for Archos G9s. Got my ''broken'' one out of storage and rooted and flashed it with a custom ROM. And it works again. Surprised since I had the exact same issue you got but I was not rooted when updating.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tselling:
I wanted to share a very useful app I found recently. I recently picked up two 16GB HTC Flyers. They come with about 8GB of free internal sdcard space. The external card is seen as /sdcard2 or /sdcard/ext_sd so I found the huge gameloft games and others like deadspace, GOF 2, NFS Hot Pursuit, etc were quickly filling up my 8GB on /sdcard. I did some searching on this problem and found directorybind. I was able to move the largest game data directories from /sdcard/Android/data/.... to /sdcard2/Android/data/... and they are working flawlessly. The app will move the files for you and will bind the directories on reboots too. FYI I had to tick the alternate database option. The app can be found here:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
I'm once again returning my third Prime to Texas via RMA. I doubt I'll see it again for at least a month or two. So I want to get something in the meantime and the only thing I liked at all was the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 since everything actually worked great on it. Is there anything else available that is more powerful or a higher-end tablet? I can't seem to find anything and I do not like Apple products at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Lenovo its supposed to release a new tablet later this month, no idea about specs or anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
For Android, it's barren right now. There are some 2nd-gen toys if going the 4G/carrier-contract route. But for no-contract, the Prime is it. We'll have to wait for spring launch. Personally, I'm mighty curious myself to see what will be deployed against the $400 iPad 2, as most Android tabs will still have 1280x800 res.

Amazon and B&N should have their 10" toys out soon. But with iPad's $400 (or $350 for refurb), I'm not sure a $300 barebone tablet will be all that appealing, especially with their "proprietary" Android and limited ecosystems.

At the least, we should see Asus' TP300 for probably $350--assuming Asus can make the price point. More interesting is how much the TP700 will be priced, or if it will reach the shelf at all. Asus just announced optional 1080p screens for its flagship Zenbook line, so I can't imagine 1080p is that cheap. If it were, it would've been a standard option.

Acer already has its low-end Teg2 A200 at $350. For the Teg3 A510 to compete, it'll have to replace the A200 at same price point. Again, we'll have to see if Acer can make the price.

I have low hopes for the "premium" vendors like HTC and Moto. Ditto for Toshiba Excite. But Samsung is intriguing. Sammy has the largest commitment to Android and a plethora of announced tablet models. Which models will make it, and how they'll be priced, will be the bellwether for Android's 3rd-party viability for 2012.

>Lenovo its supposed to release a new tablet later this month, no idea about specs or anything.

From CES, the majority of Lenovo Android models won't make it stateside. That 4:3 tab on Engadget today...unless it's $300, it's DOA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
If Sammy could make a USA made tablet or assembled with 25% made in the US: pcb case packaging etc then they could totally outsell apple if they cut their profit in it really low like 25$ per tab or less..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlamontjr:
First of all, i would like to thank the people over at Trident (www.tridentcase.com) for sending this case out to me.

Packaging - The box is pretty simple. Shows the product and the different colors it comes in. Black, Red, Pink, Green, and Blue. i will be showing off the black model. Inside the box comes a screen protector kit, which includes the screen protector, microfiber cloth and a applicator/squeegee card. The case retails for $49.95.

Case - The Kraken AMS case is a heady duty 3-Layer case which features a shock absorbing silicone, a polycarbonate plastic shell, rubber dust covers over the microphone and speaker, rubber covers over ports (charger and headset), and holster. The silicone part, or Perseus can be used as a stand alone case on days that you don’t need maximum protection, but will still give u good drop and scratch protection. The two polycarbonate shells cover the silicone to make the case durable. The case has a nice lip around the screen for a lay on table design. One accessory that the case comes with is a really durable metal kickstand. They also have other Kraken accessories which make the case more usable in everyday life. such as an AMS Bike Clip, AMS Tripod Mount, AMS Headphone Organizer, AMS Seatbelt Clip, and AMS Windshield Mount.

Thoughts - My thought on the case are it is made of very high grade materials. everything fits. cutouts are precise. I’ve only had the case for a few hours and i love it. the silicone is way much better than the otterbox defender. it feels of quality and doesn't attract lint. the volume and power buttons feel better than the naked buttons to me. the kickstand is SOLID and does its job great. the holster is just as heavy duty as the case and rotates so you can wear it comfortably. i will update the in a few days to give more opinions...

Pics - I will have pics of the phone with the case tomorrow, as my nexus is my only camera at the moment.

Conclusion - I think the case is well worth the $50 you are paying. you are getting a heavy duty case that can be used as a lightweight case also that provides an ample amount of protection. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone who is looking for an overall great case that will add bulk to your device.

if u feel i left something out or want to ask a question. go ahead. thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gakuseinozen:
Can't wait to see some pictures of the phone inside the case.

Some questions...

First, how do the two plastic pieces (the front and back) fit together?

On my otterbox defender, they just snap together with some tiny little clips and after about two drops 3 out of 4 clips are already broken so the only thing holding them together is the silicone cover that goes on the outside. I'm hoping the kraken is a lot more rugged in that aspect... The otterbox is great at protecting the phone but the case itself is already trashed after a few drops which isn't cool.

Second, how bulky is the kraken? It looks bulkier than the otterbox defender, especially on the sides since it looks like it has a ridge sticking out from either side of the screen. Does it feel good in the hand? My defender definitely makes the phone about 30% thicker which makes it less comfortable to hold but I've gotten used to it. Don't know how I'd feel about the ridges on the Kraken however.

Anyway thanks for the review.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlamontjr:
hmmmm. might just scratch, but not blend.

the two plastic pieces fit together nice and tight. the top and bottom are snap together. but the sides are actually placed in slots, it can be slight difficult to remove if u don't have nails. but i see that as a good thing. the Kraken would take some time to show wear and tear.

it may b just a tad bit bulkier, but the grip is a for sure thing. the poly carbonate is not glossy but isn't matte. it's sort of in between but doesn't show finger prints. the sides have ridges for better grip as well. i actually thought the defender felt great in hand, maybe because i have small hands tho.

few more pics.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0204:
i recently bought one it appears the notification light is 40% block.. i'm using the standard battery gsm version could that be the reason i wonder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poormansupra:
I have the same case with the extended battery (Sprint) and everything fits perfectly. The notification light is about 50% blocked but I dont use it anyways so it did not bother me much. The notification bar is easy to pull down with no interference with the top of the case like with the otterbox. The case can take a beating I have drop tested survived a 12ft drop. Even though it adds bulk because it is hard polycarbonate on the outside it makes it really easy to get in and out of pockets even with tighter fitting jeans.

Also if you have a Costco or Sams Club near by you can pick up the case for $30 instead of $50.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saintpanache:
After a couple of months, do you guys still recommend the Kraken?

saintpanache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Random Select:
I would recommend it if you are looking for a case that offers similar or even more protection than the Otterbox Defender. The case adds quite a bit of bulk to your phone though so that may turn off some people.

Throughout the work week, usually switch between the Kraken, Otterbox Commuter, and the SGP leather pouch. The Kraken will be used only if I have to go out to do field work.

The Commuter is only used if I feel like I don't want to use the SGP pouch. Otherwise I end up using the SGP pouch most of the time on the slower days of work where I'm just stuck in the office.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saintpanache:
I'm leaning toward the Kraken because I've read a couple of story about how the Otterbox defender was scratching phones.

I have a commuter right now but I need something more rugged for work and also to protect my GNex from my crazy kids :P

saintpanache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Random Select:
If that's the case, the Kraken would be a good purchase for you. My Kraken case has held up well when I drop my phone when I'm out doing field work. Very durable and well worth it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chuck517:
I picked up a kraken as well, and it does add a bit of bulk, but feels about the same in terms of size and weight as my inspire 4G with a defender case did.

The kraken fits my gnex perfectly and feels like a part of the phone. The biggest gripe I have is that it does cover about half of the notification light, but other than that, it is definitely a great case if you're looking for protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
I have an Otterbox Defender case for my GSM Nexus, and I'm not overly happy with it, mostly due to the sloppy fit resulting from it being designed for the CDMA variant, and the screen sensitivity that results. But the belt clip for the Kraken looks useless, and for me that's a deal breaker.
