[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:
It is proximity sensor issue indeed. And dirt accumulation may be the problem! First try to check the working of proximity sensor by reading its raw values(Use Elixir2 or androsensor) And since it is still under warranty(7months) go see a service center... Unscrewing the torx screws may make it less water resistant and also loose your warranty!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikerabhinav:
Yes I tried Elixer2 and after tapping sensor a bit I can see the graph saying near/far as I move my hands over sensor. Dmesg logs an error too:

isl29030_get_avg_noise_floor: prox data sample 4 is 0x57

The 4 & 0x57 parts keep changing now and then to 0x58, 0x59.

I looked up the isl29030's driver for Defy and ended up with this.

This pastebin is the driver for same sensor used in Moto Atrix: http://pastebin.com/ur5LkA91 line 536 shows the error I get

Can someone please explain what's happening here?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:
Its because the sensor is not getting or not able to get enough samples or values to calculate.. Might be hardware issue!!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RyanMJ:
Hi, I am not sure how else to describe them, there those little grey notifications that apps sometimes splash across the bottom section of the screen. There use seems to be controlled by apps as dont' remember anything phone direct coming up most common one is the one I see about apps getting root access..

My question is simply is there a way to globally turn these off as I dont really like them or care about what they tell me, running miniCM7 2.1.9..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
no way to disable atm :)

but you mean you won't care if the phone says something important like formating sd by error or anything ?

:-P

when the phone talks, it's better to read ;-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RyanMJ:
Thanks for quick reply, I just find them extra layer of ugly notification if android things something is important that I should be notified why not post a systems notification on status bar but could see how that would also be annoying!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
notifs do not splash really, and do not disappear after a certain time, they would be stocked one after the other :p

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dbow32:
I just wanted to know what people are getting out of their batteries. I unplug mine around 7:30 am when i leave for work. When I get to work i turn on my wifi (rooted thunderbolt) and leave that on all day. I have the setting to turn wifi off (flyer) when screen is off. When I get home around 5:30 i switch to my home network and by 8-10 my battery is pretty much gone. Is this normal battery life or are there any tricks I'm not aware of that will help with battery. My wife has an Ipad 1 and she seems to get days of use out of it before she needs to charge it.

Also, I don't watch movies or video at work... most of my use is surfing, twitter and email

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mrfil13:
If i charge mine over night, wifi on all day apart from in the evening when it does the power save its lasted over 3 days now, i left it at work but so im not sure what its on at the moment. I use it on the tube to read the news and play angry birds, when i looked yesterday i had something like 4.5 hours screen on time.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Depends on your use. Mine last the day but is only used in morning and night. I usually have 40%	or so left when I charge over night
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
Mine seems to cash out fast. I unplug in morning and don't use until I come home, so it gets maybe 3-4 hrs use and I'm at 25%.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
It's difficult to judge battery life, but see this thread. In my opinion, when not doing anything heavy like watching videos or playing games, then a good measure of battery life is how much screen life you have (mainly since the screen accounts for a big battery sink). It's not enough to say that you've used the tablet for 3 days...you really have to specify what you've used and how many hours of each. Because of the difficulty of consistently measuring all the contributors, that's why it's generally easiest to just measure screen life.

From the responses in that thread, 5-7 hours (on minimum brightness) is what to expect from the HTC Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Check you battery usage stats at the end of the day. There are some really badly written apps out there that will eat your battery if you are not careful. Also, some devices get the dreaded Cell Standby problem depending on which ROM you run.

[Samsung Focus S] alodar1:
I've owned the Samsung Focus S now for 12 days. I came from an android bionic. I have owned Windows Phones before, the Venue Pro and the Hd7. But this is my first Samsung.

For the first few days, the battery life was fine, a full day. But this past week I find my self hard pressed to reach a full work day. I don't play music during the day nor do I have many, if any calls. Mostly SMS and internet.

I've turned off as many background tasks as acceptable, limited the number of live tiles, set brightness to auto, and check email off of push. Yet this morning I reached 20% in about 8 hours.

In addition, I find the time to charge is extremely long. It might take 4-6 hours to fully charge from 80%.

Is this normal for a Samsung?? My other windows phones, and my bionic certainly do no present the same battery problems as this one does.

Thoughts, or is this usual?
[Samsung Focus S] drtolson:
Do you have wi-fi turned on? This is a real battery burner...

My Focus S usually goes through about a day and a half before I need to recharge. That's with a few phone calls, some messages, a bit of wi-fi browsing at night, etc. Email only gets checked every hour but it's on 3 different accounts.
[Samsung Focus S] alodar1:
while I'm home WiFi is on. Away from home its off. This is normal behavior for all my phones. All of them last at least 18-24 hrs, under the same condition.

Took it back to art. They said , lets try a different battery. I'm willing to try it for now.
[Samsung Focus S] tinyiota:
I just wanted to add to this as I seem to be experiencing a similar issue.

I purchased my phone at the end of Dec, it's been great.

Now, since around a week ago I've been having issues. I used to get roughly 2 days use per charge and it used to charge quickly.

Now, the phone runs hot, the battery drains in 6 hours or less, and it takes many hours to recharge.

I turned off the one app running in the background. I turned off wi-fi. It doesn't seem to help. The battery itself doesn't seem to be too hot, but it's hard to judge.
[Samsung Focus S] alodar1:
I did a factory reset, and got a new battery. I then reinstalled less than half of my existing apps. In addition I've set my display brightness to medium.

Battery life has doubled, and the charging is much quicker.

Read an article yesterday about ads in free apps eating about 35% more battery. Who knows.
[Samsung Focus S] backslashV:
Even if they're running in the background? My Focus S takes a lot of time to charge and decharges so fast. 35% is no joke.

[Samsung Focus S] goldenpipes:
I'm also having some kind of battery issue, I have 2 batteries and they are both 100% charged but by the end of the day one is completely dead and the other is about 20%. I use my phone a lot for music and browsing over 4g and WiFi, but I charge by battery to 100% then go to the battery saver setting and at 100% it says time remaining about 5 hours. An when I turn on battery saver it says about 6 hours. On a full charge this seems crazy. Also with the homebrew battery monitor app. It says my phone is using over 4000mV. With screen set to low and in airplane mode. This is wierd.

Sent from my SGH-i937 using Board Express
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
4000mV? I assume you mean mA? not mV? 4000mV is only 4V which is about right, your voltage shouldn't change much, perhaps +-10% tops

if you do in fact mean Amps...

4000mA is 4A an hour, your battery would be dead in about 20 min at that rate and probably in fire as well

So, lets look at this in a different way,

2 batteries, that's about 3.3Ah max, you only had about 20% left in one which is approx 330mA so lets call it an even 3A of juice burned during your day.

An Average long day at work 12 hours

that's 250mAh current draw every single hour of that 12 hour day.

250 is quite high, but normal with the screen on and high brightness an wifi, however that isn't normal if you are normal ;) and don't sit at your phone each hour for an hour for a whole day.

Things that can send your phone off on a amp burning spree? most common one is the backlight, set it to auto, and have a dark /black theme, AMOLED is the opposite to normal LCD screens where having a white background was best,

Next up is your signal strength, low 3G signal will eat your battery (4G is worse but thankfully we don't have that)

keep battery saving on all the time, it only kicks in when it needs to but I have seen dramatic differences having it turned off even with a full battery, im not sure what it changes when its not down to low battery but it does something.

background tasks can play a part but are minimal on WP.

I have 3 accounts on push sync, wifi and Bluetooth always on (but not always connected), I use it a lot during the day including several phone calls and web browsing, I start work at 8am, finish at 7 or 8 PM and im still sitting with 50% battery...

that works out at an average of just under 70mAh. that's about the normal level id expect, its double that if I turn battery saver off (even though it wont kick in until the last hour of the day)

oh I can make it go quicker when I show off the full capability's of our screens too :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romitkin:
hi.

Today, I've dropped my phone. At first glance it was fine, but then I realized the speaker wasn't working.

I opened the phone, cleaned the speaker's connector with alcohol, assembled it back and it works.

But then I found out my proximity sensor is also damaged.

It became so limited, that during a call, the screen may turn on and off repeatedly, or won't turn off at all, or won't turn on after moving the phone off my face.

So, I would like your help in two things:

1.Is there an app for ICS that can help me test the proximity sensor? I remember GB has "SGS toolbox" that could test everything including the sensor.

I just want to make sure the problem is really the sensor and not something in the dialer app.

2.Assuming there is problem with the sensor, I would like to look at it, but I don't know how this sensor looks like and where to find it inside the phone.

I hope for your help, and thank you very much.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romitkin:
Ok I found a solution so here it is for anyone who may find this thread:

The proximity sensor is on the same assembly as the earpiece and the headphones jack.

Turns out, the flex cable of the assembly is cracked. To make is worse, the crack expended once I took the assembly out so now the earpiece doesn't work too.

I have ordered this part from eBay, it costs 5$.

But it will take a few weeks to arrive since it's shipped from China. That's some bad luck.

Relax, it happened to me before. Try taking out your battery, then open PCC click on software support. Click update and when they say no phone recognised click repair phone.

I've tried using PCC, sir, but it always gives me this message "There is no software available for your phone yet. Please try again"
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Yes, BUT ...

If you have an UNLOCKED boot loader be sure to DESELECT everything but system.sin, data.sin, cache.sin

To flash the baseband you would need to have an unlocked boot loader.

The ROM ID is rather meaningless when you actually run on a E15a baseband. If you want to correct that "cosmetical" problem edit the build.prop and change all E15i to E15a

Guys, PCC/SEUS is plain crap. The ONLY thing it is good for is to have the drivers installed, but that's all.
