[LG Optimus 2x] Beplexor:
I just got the phone yesterday and i've been playing around with it. It's awesome :) although I do admit that there's occasional lag especially because I'm only using 2.2 right now. That being said, I've decided to root straight away rather than upgrade to gingerbread.

I have a question though; when you flash CM, is Google Play still accessible? I know you can choose to download a Google Apps file when flashing, but Google Play is really the only Google app I really want/need.
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Yup, Google Play is still accessible with CM. Just flash the separate Google Apps package. So don't worry about that.

greets beplexor, im another from nz. just got one on 6th april.

1st off. "terrible" battery life yes. if im at work. listening to just mp3. (everything shut down or off with juice defender ult) or uninstalled / disabled in ui. 3 albums later my fones beeping for batter below 15%. (3 full length albums usually around 74 mins each, about 3 hours roughtly). today i have GALLERY taking up 40% of my battery? err is that "the winamp + album art widget" i think so. hmmmm.

thinking about going back to STOCK ROM. as the battery was better, prps to temasek for that cm7 pack. its got all the features i want. however. drains more battery than the stock, also i changed RIL recommended for 0725
[LG Optimus 2x] azart95:
Battery is truly awful. You should buy this thing if you are ready to flash-flash-flash till you find a decent rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] powwow88:
Have you tried other kernels with CM7? Maybe it would help getting lower battery drain.

My friend and i recently worked on flashing my samsung epic 4g to metro pcs. it is somewhat flashed because when i call *228 the metro pcs jingle plays and everything. however when i get to the option where i switch phones it always tells me that something went wrong and sends me to a human metro pcs assisstant. i talked to the assisstant but i didnt want to tell them that it was a flashed phone. is there something i did wrong in the process of flashing or does it always do that with flashed phones? HELLPP :confused:

You can get text and talk working, but you're going to have to have the esn added to metropcs. If that's been done, read those links given to you above. You'll need to reprogram it and tbh, isn't worth all the trouble. I reccommend my Epic to Virgin Mobile guide, but you'll need to invest on a cheap samsung intercept, as well as shelling out service.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderbread24:
When I started flashing I only stuck with Sense ROMs and audio playback was so so for me. When I tried out CM7 with DSP manager I was shocked at the difference in sound. DSP Gave a whole new life to my ear buds as well as my BT Sony S9-HD's. But thats about the only thing that I really enjoyed about CM7. I would rather have a Sense ROM but my phone is my only mp3 device and I can't stand the way music sounds on Sense ROMs after hearing music while using CM7

I've looked around and messed with a few of my sense roms with Beats removing the lib files associated with beats and the stock libs and replaced them with the libs associated with DSP Manger as well as the apk but the sound just isn't the same as when using CM7.

So what I'm wondering, is there a way to remove, before flashing or after, all sound files related to audio playback and replace them with the necessary files from CM7 to make music sound as if I were on a CM7 ROM?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
try the Equalizer app on the market, I personally use PlayerPro with the DSPpack
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
As do I.. it kicks ass
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamaGlue:
is beats audio only included in that ROM or can someone get it separately?

seeing how your question is how to remove it i take it that you wouldn't recommend it would you..lol

i too am currently using equalizer, it's great except for the annoying icon on the tray in the top left corner

i believe it works just as good if not better then beats as it is compatible with all songs.

i hear beats only works with stock music on some devices

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderbread24:
From what I've read it showed how to intsall beats. I'm assuming I can do the opposite by removing the pieces to beats before flashing and replace them with the ones for DSP from cm7?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgan5814:
That should work.

Download the CM7 ROM and Download whatever Sense ROM you plan on flashing (I personally recommend Bindroid and all it's Glory :P)

Put both Roms on your computer if they aren't already and extract the zip files.

Navigate to

"System/App" Find the Beats APK and remove it from the Sense Rom.

Navigate to the System/App directory of CM7 and Pull the DSP Apk and move it to the Sense Rom you are using.

Rezip the ROM you plan on installing and sign it.

Install.

Note that I don't know 100% that this will work; I don't know how beats is installed, and I don't know how DSP is installed it could be more complicated then that and you could also end of soft bricking your phone if it is from a system incompatibility. If I'm wrong then I apologize in advance, but there's still that chance that it could work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderbread24:
Will I need to change the lib files from the /system/lib/soundfx folder as well?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgan5814:
My assumption would be yes. Because MIUI and Sense are so different I don't know that it will even work. You will probably have to pull everything related to Beats. I'm still just starting, but you'll probably have to edit your install to direct the extra install components and tell it to fix the permissions. (I haven't dabbled much there but I'd assume that should be fairly easy yet slightly time consuming)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderbread24:
Makes me wish I knew more and had more time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgan5814:
lol Know the feeling; I'll pull the CM7 ROM and the Bindroid Rom and work with them to see if I can't get what you wanted to be done completed and I'll let you know ASAP; I might give it a try before the end of the day; if not you might have to wait about a week (Sorry, trying to fix my ROM as well atm lol)

I hope I'm not the only one that thinks PlayerPro is as good as Beats... I haven't saw any advantage to having Beats Audio..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgan5814:
He doesn't want beats. That's why were looking to remove it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderbread24:
looked at taking out beats from a sense rom and putting DSP in and I think its beyond my scope of knowledge.

The files in the flashable zip don't match up with whats in an rom zip so I don't know what I should and shouldn't take out....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panzer75:
Did someone found a way to remove it since when I flashed with JaggyRom which have BeatsAudio sound is extremely worst.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panzer75:
Well it seems to fixed it for system sounds, but I think games are still same crappy sound... I disabled some SRS enhancement in Music player.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderbread24:
Doesn't change how it sounds though. Not compared to the DSP sounds. I've tried player pro and still doesn't sound as good to me.

I've figured out a way to get DSP to work with the sense rom I'm using now but I have to sacrifice Voice Dialer to get it working. Which is hard because I'm listening w/ a bluetooth headset and would make making phone calls much easier.

I don't know if i'm the only person in the world with this issue, but i've searched all over and have had no luck at all finding a solution or an answer to this. My Xoom works perfectly, except for only one thing, it turns off when the battery reaches 4%, instead of the normal battery level which would be 0% for any other device. Is my battery damaged? :confused:

PS- I've calibrated the battery many times and i've used many roms, so i'm taking those two things out of the "Possible Causes List". I would greatly appreciate any help in the matter since that 4% represents cherished time i could be spending with my tablet.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR YOUR NEW BATTERY!

Initializing your new battery

When you got a new battery, insert it into your electronic device. Turn your device on and drain your battery until your left with 1 bar of power. Then charge your device for a minimum period of 12 hours. Your 1st charge cycle is very important, do not charge it before it's down to 1 bar.

Recharging your new battery

After you have completed the initial charge, your battery should only ever be recharged once you drain if down to 1 bar of power and should be recharged for a minimum period of 6 hours for the battery to reach its full capacity. Ignore the phone telling you that the battery is full - this is normal but is not accurate.

Avoid fully discharging your new battery

Your batteries' life is shortened every time you fully discharge them. Instead, charge them when the battery meter shows one bar left.

Battery care tips

Charge your battery correctly by using appropriate charger and drain your battery up to one bar before charging.

Keep battery contacts clean to effective deliver power in your device and optimize battery life.

Lower screen brightness/backlight and disable custom animations/transitions to lower battery consumption.

Avoid using unnecessary features and close idle applications running in the background as they still consume power.

Use GSM rather than 3G or Dual Mode as being on GSM mode consumes less power.

Turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity when not in use as they consume a lot of power.
[Xperia Arc General] CrazyPeter:
Can you site credible sources for those battery charging "tips"? As it sounds like a myth from way back in the NiCAD era, rather than modern LIon batterys with decent charging circuits.

http://www.androidauthority.com/the-top-3-android-battery-myths-46924/

Devices nowadays have transitioned from using nickel-based batteries, to lithium ion batteries in the past few years. Until now, myths associated with batteries are yet to be disproved however, there are studies and experiments proving that some of them aren’t entirely true. While nickel based batteries indeed have their own problems back then, lithium ion batteries, which is commonly used to power up laptops, cameras, and phones to name a few, are always filled with myths that most techie people still believe in.

Below are the three battery myths that have already been disproved.

MYTH NO. 1: New batteries need an initial overnight charge

This is one of the most untrue myths about lithium ion batteries that a lot of people believe in. When opening a newly purchased device, you DO NOT need to fully charge it initially. Although there are benefits offered by doing so, initial charging or ‘priming’ does not affect the battery life in any way.

Manufacturers strongly suggest users to do this so that the battery will be properly calibrated and the power indicator will display the accurate battery life of the device. However, there is no need to worry about using your gadget fresh out of the box because even if the calibration is incorrect, which rarely happens, it will fix by itself over time.

MYTH NO. 2: Overcharging your lithium ion battery will reduce its battery life

One of the most common myths that we have heard about lithium ion batteries would be the need to plug it from its charger after being fully charged, since overcharging the battery/device will reduce its battery life. The truth is, lithium ion batteries cannot be overcharged or can be reduced of its battery life through overcharging. What’s good about these batteries is that that already have built-in circuits that will cut off the power once it has been fully charged.

However, it is a good idea to unplug or remove the battery once it has done charging because the heat from poor ventilation or from charging will cause it to blow up. Another reason why this is an important note worth remembering is that batteries discharge faster when heated thus, reducing its lifespan.

MYTH NO. 3: You can calibrate your Lithium Ion battery every once in a while

Some of the rechargeable batteries being used today have a battery memory. Some batteries will slowly lose their maximum capacity if you fail to completely discharge it plugging it in. Hence, recharging it while it is still 40% charged will mark it as the new 0%, which gives you lesser capacity for your battery. However, this only applies to technologies applied in older batteries but isn’t applicable to today’s lithium-ion batteries.

What you have read above hopefully in one way or another, eased your worries about decreasing your battery’s lifespan.

[Xperia Arc General] _cpg:
Some more (generic) information about lithium-based batteries (sorry, not allowed to post links yet):

batterycare.net/en/guide.html

micro-power.com/userfiles/file/mp_tempcharge-1250026530.pdf

batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

All of these show heat as an important factor in capacity loss. You might be able to reduce heat from external sources, but as the chart in the pdf shows, the battery itself produces heat while discharging. With a constant load, the generated heat goes up rapidly after the battery reaches around 25%. As there is no memory effect in lithium batteries, it seems best to avoid this area altogether.

Of course, the maximum capacity will decrease with time regardless and a calibration cycle (100% to near empty) once in a while can be useful to ensure your battery indicator is reliable.

Scary :x

We're getting daily emails now about sprint's on the west coast getting their audits from sprint already, and how picky their being (like deducting points for not checking the boxes next to what we can save on the data preservation). I'm still new, just out of my ninety days, and was hoping to get some advice from some other techs who have been thru an official audit, not a mock audit from your srss or iae.

I also heard their going employee to employee and asking random questions. My biggest fear is they'll ask me a sales Rep related question and ill be left looking stupid. Is this true? What kind of questions will they ask?

I probably shouldn't be too worried. My srss for PCS experts uses my ready now pitch as an example for other stores. Literally, ill be in front of a crowd of customers and it goes down like this:

HOW SATISFIED ARE WE??

VERY!!!!

WHAT SERVICE DID WE PARTICIPATE IN???

study S.P.R.I.N.T., the new hire training, and wear a name tag. thats pretty much all they will hassle you about. oh, and have ALL info on EVERY data preservation filled out! for good measure we get a data preservation on EVERY device, EVERY time. just in case. Good luck! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
lol, batteries. Its been probably the biggest point of contention at our corporate store. Just make sure any batteries you have on hand are in inventory.

I agree, this audit season sucks. Having us do things like shipping our vendor returns every Sunday, even when they're not full, just to minimize the amount of phones auditors can look at. Ridiculous.

I look at everything they're making us do like Kosher rules; you're going to obey this rule, not because it's against the rules, but so that it will keep you from breaking another rule. It's annoying, especially when my store passed audit last year, and the only reason we're subjected again is because the rest of the district failed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmthrash:
You would figure that your iae would let you know if you meed the entire preservation form filled out. Why would they count off for not having it filled out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superbeast0:
And as far as batteries go don't forget to make sure they are all secured with either the stickers covering the leads or in a baggy. Don't want any WMD's blowing up your store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
People I know have told me many times I should go into this field. How much could a typical tech make?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
to tell you the truth, that doesn't make sense. If a customer doesn't authorize you to temporarily store their contacts so that you can restore them, then that box shouldn't be checked. I can't see how that would lose points either.

What IS a no-no, however, is keeping the bottom half of DP sheets, those need torn off and shredded.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Not a lot lol. Many less than 30000 year.

We're very under appreciated, considering how few of us there are in relation to sales reps.

Are there some of us that deserve that little? Sure.. it doesn't take much education to gain the position.

But there are a lot of others that actively save the company a lot of money, and are inherently more valuable, and it takes a pretty smart tech to be that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtiskobain:
Just to be clear, the bottom half only has to be shredded if its filled out right?? That's what my big wigs told me.

At the rate I'm going ill be making 28k which isn't bad considering its my first year and my manager can't seem to stress enough that there is no cap to what I can make.

Are you other techs allowed to sell accessories? Its a big debacle between me and one particular sales Rep. He seems to think that if I spend an hour with a customer replacing their 3d LCD that when they need a new screen protector I should hand it over to him. I think this is bull, as any accessories sold thru s&r are made by my hand and I should should have the privilege of the commission.

I've been told all we need with etickets are the dp and the eticket summary...is this correct? I started right when they started cracking down and every other day they needed something new or different as far as etickets page combinations

One more quick thing...does my manager get EVERYTHING I make on the NASCcalander????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dog44:
Yes every transaction posts to the calender on Nasc.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtiskobain:
I didnt mean it as does he see everything...I mean, if I have a 10,000$ month, does he only get a percentage of that or does he pocket it all? Obviously I'm getting my cut of it too, but I was interested in how he gets paid...is he getting a percentage or is that pure profit for him?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gosueric:
Here at my store we mostly lost points due to things like notes not being complete in the eTickets, the rest was fine.

DP forms as long as the 4 lines were signed we were okay (Name/Signature/Phone #/what's the last one?) were the only requirements, and of course shredding the bottom portion.

For the most part they only ask reps questions, techs it's just tech questions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Audits suck.

The best information I have is to start getting in the habit of asking everything your supposed to, not letting it slip with anyone. It's usually the most unassuming person that turns over the scorecard when it's done.

Just do your best, and not make any big mistakes, you'll be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
Every dealer is different, but no single person gets the entire calendar. The calendar is money paid to the company to operate their ASC. You as a tech get a percentage as commission (I'm assuming).

Alright, this is driving my nuts.

Is there a way to be included in the text group with my friends on iPhones/iMessage? Instead of only being able to receive and send individual texts, can I be included in the group text chat so I only see one message string and only need to send one message to go to everyone? I know there are other messaging apps that have this capability, but will they communicate with iMessage, because my iPhone friends aren't likely to switch from default text app?

I had just accepted that it was an iMessage only thing and not compatible, but my friend on a Droid Bionic is able to group chat.

As far as I know iMessage is like blackberry messenger for iOS. Group messaging is turned on by default on iOS (as far as I know) so thats the feature you need to look for. When I had my windows phone, it supported group messaging out of the box but was turned off by default.

I have never found an option in any default text app (never tried any from market) but I would think that android could support it.
