[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Mate battery life won't magically improve by flashing an alternate kernel / ROM. There are tons of reasons which may affect battery life on a ROM, and you must first determine what that is before you move on and experiment. Before moving onto a new kernel, determine what is causing battery drain using apps like CPU Spy (Can determine if your phone is entering deep sleep or not) and BetterBatteryStats (Can determine kernel wakelocks which prevent the phone from going into deep sleep). Also, what is your usage pattern? On extremely heavy usage patterns, 6-8 hours is below par, but not unbelievable.

Unfortunately I would agree with mattisfaction at this point of time. Stock ROM for CM9? When you install CM9, you get the CM9 Stock kernel. Not what came with your phone.

I just bought a One X to replace my iPhone 4, mostly happy about it, except the mail app is a bit frustrating

Firstly, iPhone almost always loads the full email instantly, and the ICS app only loads the text version and I have to press a button to load images and that could take an extra few seconds per email

Second, there is no next/previous button? I have to press the back button and select another mail to open it...

Lastly, whenever I receive a new email, iPhone notifies me instantly and I'm a slide of a bar away from viewing the full email, with ICS the notification system doesn't even work for me, I have to refresh the mail app in order to see the new email.

Is there any way to fix this?

I'm using Hotmail
[HTC One X] manook:
Use the hotmail app from Microsoft. Much better imo. Has push notifications and pinch to zoom.
[HTC One X] angler:
I am using HTC Mail to work with Gmail. Unless I select a frequent receiving interval, the time getting the new incoming email seem a bit later than what I have used in Windows Phone and iPhone. The best mail client is iPhone that it almost get the email after couple of minutes after sender dispatching the email.
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
K9 mail https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5mc2NrLms5Il0.

Or make an active sync account in the default mail app and set it to push.
[HTC One X] angusc:
My recommendation would be to install "Touch down for smart phones". It is the best mail app that i have found for my hotmail account and also does exchange.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] confrontation:
Ok so I started out with an x5 running an oxygen ROM ( unsure what one as its been awhile) with a full battery.

1. I then went to install the Aurora ICS 2.0.5 after doing all the wipes needed went to load and all i got was a system that fuctioned but not network service and no battery charging and the device showing 1% battery (it was full to start with).

2. I also tried the Elite.SX.Second.Release-FIXED.by.TerraMino.2012-03-29 ROM (all wipes done) just to get the same things happening

also tried to install and older Oxygen ROMs , oxygen 2.2.2 - 2.3.2 all wipes done) but the device didnt boot.

3. So then I tried a stock ROM via the dload method by puting this [11.07.28]_U8800_V100R001C17B162CUSTC17D001_(China_Unicom)(also another stock ROM I dont remember which) UPDATE.APP on the SD card (Cant put the UPDATE.APP on to internal memory as it is to large) then went to boot into the "pink screen" but nothing happened (both ROM's). Also tried many methods to try to get it to work.

4. After that I thought I would try Miui Prime v3 - by LegoLaSH (done all wipes and formats needed) once it booted I got no network service and battery at 0% although it is Full before starting. Also no battery charging while device is on.

5. I figured Id try ( althoug I guessed it wouldnt work)to install an Oxygen ROM first then install Elite.SX.Second.Release-FIXED.by.TerraMino.2012-03-29 ROM streight after it without wipes , still the same problems as installing the elite ROM alone.

So now Im here and stuck. Is there no flasher for Hauwei phones? oranother way I can get a ROM on the device? Its not my Phone its my partners.

Also its not the First Phone I have ever installed a custom ROM on although seems to be the hardest.

If any idea or more info needed please post.

thanks alot.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
You need to install the official 2.3 rom before installing any of those roms.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] confrontation:
I know , But as in put 3 , that is an official ROM and the method to install it will not work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
Are you sure you put the UPDATE.APP inside the dload folder which is in the root of the sdcard? I never heard of this not working.

I am not sure which files the official 2.3 rom updates, but wouldn't it be possible to copy them from an updated U8800?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] confrontation:
I had a freshly formated SD card with no other files or folders and I had the UPDATE.APP in a folder named dload on the SD card.

Is that not the right way?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:
You need to update to

OFFICIAL 2.3.5

(you were updating to 2.2). You can get it here:http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQzNTg=

This is porbably most repetead sentence in this forum and is also written in every ROM thread. Oygen was working beacuse its .32 kernel and the newer ROMs are .35 kernel and need to update to OFFICIAL 2.3.5 before flashing. If you would search a little you would find it in less than a minute.

Here is guide how to root and install recovery on official 2.3.5:

All the instructions for updating with dload method are in the pdf that is in the zip you downloaded from huawei page.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
The problem is that he can't update to the official 2.3.5, the update doesn't start.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rsdunlop:
The UPDATE.APP file is only around 300 megs so will easily fit on your internal 2Gb memory so sounds like your trying to copy it to the pink screen memory which is wrong!

If you had read my post properly you would see I already know. thanks for you unhelpful post.

Also the Huawei link is giving me an Service Temporarily Unavailable message , and has since the other day , if you can upload it somewhere or anybody , I can download it then.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I think the problem is that he has a custom partition layout for the internal emmc, that needs to be reset to the default before installing the update.

thank you very much!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] halman:
Dzo is probably right about the partition layout of your internal mmc. But probably you cannot fix it with geno's method. I would suggest you to check this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579366

Also it seems to me that you have the imei=0 problem when you updated from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 (no network - battery 1% or 0% are common problems)

And try not to flash different kernel based roms without upgrading/downgrading to the appropriate kernel, as this probably has damaged your phone.

Hope that helps

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayfoxmg1:
Quick question to all the people smarter than me, I use flux on my computer and really like it. I was wondering if there was a way to get the Linux build that they have to work on android. I, personally, wouldn't know how to go about doing this, so I am leaving this question here for anyone who feels they can accomplish this task.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroManArmy:
I would like this as well. Might make a difference.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkdified:
I have been waiting for an android version for the tab/transformer prime since i started using it on my windows PC in november.

It seems they are working on it.

When is the Android verson coming out?

We have a version internally (it looks beautiful!) but it requires a very complicated installation process. We are working to simplify this and ship f.lux to the Android OS as soon as possible.

http://stereopsis.com/flux/faq.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattyas:
JuiceDefender Ultimate (with JuiceDefender beta) has the same kind of effect, but unfortunately it requires use of the Defender's own auto brightness level adjuster which isn't quite that polished function yet - at least not on my Desire Z, that is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayfoxmg1:
I checked into this, and it is an auto brightness control. It really doesn't change the display "temperature" of the screen. Thanks anyway, useful to know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayfoxmg1:
So I found this. It seems to be the best substitute for an android f.lux. I did buy the paid version because it was only $1.55. There is a free version, but the guy offers a money back guarantee if you don't like it. So far I have no complaints.

Please note: I am using it on my Nook Color, as such I don't know how efficient the automatic adjustment is as I have no light sensor nor camera.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambstone:
It isn't an automatic brightness control. It tints your screen according to the time of the day making it easier on your eyes. I know it works because I use it on my laptop and ipad.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naa Laa:
CF.lumen (for Chainfire3D)

Similar to f.lux - unfortunately it doesn't work on ICS - I loved it on GB
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razorhanny:
Lux Auto Brightness does exactly what f.lux does, and then some.

Color Temperature and Automatic Brightness to Sub-Zero levels using the phone's Light Sensor!

I've dreamed so many nights about this kind of app!

p.s. I'm talking about the PAID VERSION.

The free version doesn't have Night Mode and many other features.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shishir95:
Free mode has Sub-Zero.

And I have to disagree, f.lux is much more functional. It actually tints your screen to a suitable temperature depending on the time of day while Lux is simply an auto-brightness app. Big difference.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razorhanny:
f.lux is windows software, doesn't work on android so don't say it's more functional please, because it just doesn't function at all.

I never said free version didn't have SubZero brightness, I said it didn't have NIGHT MODE.

f.lux doens't tint depending on the time of the day, it toggles between two tints when it reaches a certain time of the day, there's no in-between changes being made, Big Difference.

And Lux Dash can do that, are you judging by the free version again?

It can easily change between three tint modes, normal, night mode, and astronomer mode, just not automatically but two taps away.

And AUTO BRIGHTNESS to sub zero levels, that's the "then some" I said, wich I find really useful at bed time use.

Please show me a better solution on android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayfoxmg1:
Actually f.lux was made for/and on Linux before it was ported to mac and windows. And also, f.lux doesn't just have '2' settings. It changes the temperature of your display based on a gradient-scale. Thus enabling it to be easier on our eyes, without us noticing. Don't get me wrong, I am using the PAID version of Lux right now, and it is great, however, the moment stereoptics puts out an android version of f.lux I will drop Lux so fast it might have re-entry burns.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razorhanny:
http://stereopsis.com/flux/faq.html

"This changes too fast, it always shocks me.

The f.lux transition can be CPU intensive, so f.lux tries to be polite about it. To make it slow, you can use the special 1-hour slow transition option under settings instead."

"I installed f.lux but I can't see any change.

Is it past your local sunset time? Just wait, and f.lux will kick in at sunset."

As I said, it toggles between two modes when it reaches a certain time of the day, the only thing you can do about it is choose if you want the transition to last one hour or some seconds.

This is definitely not various gradient levels based on the time of the day.

It will be all-out night mode during the night, and all-out day mode during the day.

Only the transition period can be set to a gradient, but that period can be set to 1hour at max.

eg. 10h will be the same as 13h, 15h, 17h, and then somwhere between 17h and 18h it will change to night mode, and then 18h, 19h, 20h, 00h, 02h, 04h etc all will have the same color temperature. There will be no difference between 08h and 15h color temperatures for example.

I use f.lux since I had a CRT monitor, and I'm using it right now, so I know what I'm talking about.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shishir95:
I have the paid version of Lux. It doesn't change into night mode for you, which is what I wanted.

That's weird since I'm using f.lux on my laptop right now and it changes tint gradually for me. But anyway, I agree with the posters above. Once they release f.lux for Android, I'm downloading it on launch day and never switching away
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razorhanny:
No, it doesn't.

I`ve even showed the faq explanation on how the transition works.

Right click the f.lux tray icon and hit preview.

Only the small transition period is gradual.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shishir95:
Oh well in that case, you're right. I thought you meant just a jarring color temp change
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razorhanny:
By the way, I see you have a i777, I have a n7000 wich is samoled screen as well.

Lux night mode changes the blacks in a way I don't like at all, they cease to be true blacks and get the tint apllied on them too.

Do you experience that?

I've read somewhere that it's a limitation on apllying color tints on led screens... So to be honest, I don't even use Lux night mode, all I did was change the auto-brightness to let it reach -50% brightness when using the phone on pitch black rooms, and I love the app for that feature alone!

Do you think f.lux will find a way around this led limitation? Apllying the filter on bright and colorful content, but leaving the blacks alone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shishir95:
All Lux does is throw a filter on top of what you're seeing. It in no way changes the way your phone renders things. f.lux is supposed to change that, but the problem is right now there isn't a way for it to work without a "complex installation procedure" (taken from f.lux FAQ), so I'm guessing yes, it will get around that limitation. It has nothing with the limitations of our screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Man has anyone heard more? Dying without f.lux I have tried lux but it simply doesn't work well for me even with pro version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayfoxmg1:
No, stereopsis still hasn't released an Android version. Lux is still the best bet, but like everyone else has said, it still isn't the same.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdean1981:
I'm beginning to think they aren't gonna release an Android version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnishamk:
If it's brightness control you seek, look no further than screen filter. Of course u need root for it.

Press the "thanks", button if I helped you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdean1981:
Well considering f.lux isn't a brightness app, no that's not what I or most the people in this thread are looking for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spbb2000:
Use EasyEyez. It's like a combination of screen filter and F.lux. It even has the sunrise and sunset timer in the paid version.

Few days after installing 4.0.4 update manually, I had to clear and uninstall the 3.5.15 play store. One day after that, I am still stuck with the 3.4.7 factory version but before u call me simply impatient, I got worried by the fact that in my manage apps --» all list, there is no market updater entry any more!!

So am I in some kind of trouble and waiting the market to update in vein or do u all miss this (4.0.4 structural change?) and I just have to wait a bit longer??? Anyone mind to confirm this for a second??

ps: its obvious that I can install the new market manually, but this is not the point...

ps2: Just checked the contents of the 4.0.4 update package compared to the 4.0.3 - indeed there is no market updater.apk and market updater.odex files anymore, just as is in my phone's system/app directory.

Solved!

During the day I had two confirmations that market updater is no longer a system app in 4.0.4, meaning that the update delay is just a matter of time and not a faulty configuration of my nexus. So, topic can be considered solved and even deleted (?) by the mods :)

Ok guys so basically I bricked my phone again. Please read through the whole thing before replying anything.

So basically this is what happened:

-I had XperiaTized v7 patched rom flashed, everything working fine

-I tried legend 7 or something and flashed. It was pretty buggy.

-So I flashed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437426&highlight=recovery I flashed the GB one first

-I booted and guess what I still had legend 7.

-So I flashed Froyo recovery which was attached on the same post to see how it was; I was curious and never tried froyo before I heard battery life was quite okay.

-So I booted to find that legend 7 was STILL there. In case you dunno, the recovery zips actually overide CWM so I'm left with the stock recovery.

-So I was like ah wth and I used the file manager provided by legend 7 to delete some useless files on the sd card.

-So I rebooted and to try to flash CWM but it got stuck on the samsung screen. (I actually pressed reboot to recovery on the power menu)

-I panicked and I pressed the home button nothing happened.

-I held the power button to try to restart but same thing happened.

-I removed the batt and went to charge cuz I realised it was quite low after flashing the last 3.

-When I plugged it in the the screen lit up but I was not greeted with the usual power icon.

-I unplugged after a few minutes and tried to boot. The screen lit up a bit but nothing happened. I'm really panicking now. It's quite a new phone. Please help I'm like pulling my hair out now.

PS I know there's a way to get to download using the keys but I don't have cooper.ops cuz all the download links are dodgy. If anyone has the file please let me have it all the roms I have I flashed through CWM.

Help will be greatly appreceated!
