[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerlilje:
Do I really have to downgrade to 2.2 to get s-off? Is there an easier way?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Not that I am aware of. That method is the best way to go as it is safe and proven. There might be other ways to do it, but could brick your phone (Visionary comes to mind).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerlilje:
Ok. Thank you. Must read a bit before I try. Will try not to brick my phone...

But after that I can use whatever ROM I want?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Correct. After that method you will have a custom recovery installed and will be able to flash ROMs to your phone. Additionally, you may want to read up on using the Desire Z hboot (if you have a G2) in order to use some of the newer Sense ROMs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
Hi all.. for the past the days I have noticed that the battery usage or the battery information tab (eg. Display 30%, Android OS 25%......) in the settings of my motorola razr doesn't add up to 100%.. It varies between 92% and 102%. All I did was root my phone a week back using Motofail and I unrooted it yesterday using	Doomslord unroot. Should I factory rest my phone? Please help!!!

Also does anyone know or have you seen this "battery report.apk" file which is also known as "Cool Down Mode"? It is in your phone internal memory. Do you know what it does. Has anyone installed it and checked what it does?

Thanks I advance!!! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
Any help? ? ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
seems to be a software hang. Drain battery completly and charge it without start the phone. This may fix the problem. If not, do a factory reset.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
Oh thanks a lot..will do that today and keep you posted on the result!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
I tried both, but didn't work. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks.

Freeze bloat
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
Tried that as well but in vain!!! :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
Try looking through your sync settings, set them as low as possible and be sure to exit your apps with the back button not hitting home

Edit : you could also use better battery stats
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
I have my sync settings very low as well.. I use juice defender free version!! And I flashed into another build, from Asiaretail03 to PSHAsiaretail and still have the problem!!

How will Better battery Stats help me?? is there a free version of the app?? If not is there any other way?? will it affect my battery life???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
[/QUOTE]

I have the paid version of jd, it seems to make things worse for me in terms of battery life on the RAZR, and the lag in the initiation of the cell radio was very annoying. It was great for the og droid though. On another note, freeze all bloat!, and you may have to go through and change the sync settings on each app that uses network sync individually. I'm hesitate to suggest this because there's so many post claiming it's bad for your battery, while I understand the train of thought, I still question the validity of the advice. So do this at your own risk. Since the os is reporting more than or less than 100% battery my guess is that the os's scale is off. The os shuts down your phone well before your battery gets to zero as a fail safe, and stops taking a charge at 100%. When you flash a new rom, or didn't charge the phone fully before you turned it on when new, or any other number of variables, your battery stats get mucked up. The old school way to retrain was turn off and charge for how ever long it takes to know your fully charged (over night), boot into recovery wipe battery stats, unplug boot up and run the phone until it dies, charge to 100 with out turning back on, then use as normal. I dont advise that method, my advice is to run phone until it dies, charge to 100 with out powering up, run phone normally
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
Ok I don't want to freeze my bloatware... And I completely drained my battery and charged it till 100 without powering up (twice).. But still have the problem...

Let me try the other method but where will I see the recovery wipe battery stats in the boot menu? ?

Thanks a lot for taking your time..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
It is in cwm menu under advanced, if you don't have cwm there is a file in the root system, you'll have to research to find its location, (i cant remember where it is), that holds the battery stats, you can delete it and it does basically the same thing. You might could find an app on the market that will find and delete it for you. Just be careful, do it right, you can make it worse.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
Oh ok..will try doing that, but the last line is creeping me out..:o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
You should be fine, just let the phone charge to 100% and be sure not to boot up before it gets there, and by no means charge the phone while draining the battery
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
How can you freeze bloatware if your not rooted? :s
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
No way i know of
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
I was rooted when I froze the bloatware.. This issue with my phone is there for a week now.. Now I am unrooted.. Thinking of rooting again to wipe the battery stats..I will do that if the problem happens even after charging the phone once more to 100%..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] utahcracker:
Have you ever considered something as simple as % rounding error? Seems more likely, currently mine shows 101%.

I was also curious, what in the world compelled you to bother to add up the percentages in the first place? ;-)

Peace!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
Just to be totally sure, you're having problems with battery life, its not just that your battery usages are off. The percentages are rounded, but shouldn't be off by more than 10%, if so than its a tell of another problem, also if your a medium- heavy user your screen should be the highest percentage, if its android os or system using a large percentage its normally bloatware in your root file system, if it's media, you need to look at the motocast apps, if its cell stand by, check the time with out signal, if you have a large % with out signal, you should 1st check for the most recent radio, 2nd find out where it is you're getting poor signal and keep your phone in airplane mode in that area if possible, if not only turn off/ on data as you need it, your cell radio seaching for towers will drain your battery quick, also, the reason i suggested better battery stats is it can provide a more detailed breakdown of what is using your battery and identify apps that are keeping your phone frome going into a lower power state with wakelocks

A little more info.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Wakelocks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
Thanks for the info.. The battery percentage ranges from 92-103%... And my highest battery consumer is the Screen followed by Voice calls and Android OS..

I will try getting better battery stats and check but I don't want to buy the app and experience the same problem..

If the battery life is getting affected will it be because of a faulty battery? can I get a replacement because of this?

And yes thanks a lot for spending your time..;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
Well, the razr will average roughly 8-10 hours under normal use, less if your in a bad coverage area or under heavy use. If your getting substantially less than that, I'd say 4-5 hours, then I'd first flash all back to stock then run the phone with out your apps for a day to prove its a faulty battery and not a poorly written app before I ask for a replacement. There are other free tools in the market to help you find battery draining apps, os monitor or traffic monitor may help you to root out cpu / network hogging apps that are drainig yor battery
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
After my last charge, the phone lasted for almost 11 hours.. I find my battery life to be normal but only the percentage to be abnormal..

And yeah I flashed my phone and when I checked my battery percentage without any of apps installed, it was still wavering and not 100%..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
Oh, you're all good man, the percentage variation is fine, if you have poor battery life and a large variation then worry
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danny.sunju:
Thanks a lot bro!!!;)

Delete Quirk:

To use the condescending phrase my GF throws at me (and then claims she's not being condescending, Women!) I write books via text. At least it seems that way because I'll write out my thoughts in beautifully verbose English then hack them down to 160 characters if possible. This utilizes the delete/backspace key quite a lot and every now and then I get this...

Holding phone PSP style (index fingers curled around lower half underneath display, phone cradled between index finger and thumbs, thumbs free for furious typing)

-Use thumb to rapidly tap Del

--Phone goes to top of conversation tree, but I can still type in message box (just can't see it cause i'm now scrolled to top of this contacts message history)

and/or

--Phone goes into message deletion mode, I can't type and its asking me to select messages for deletion.

It doesn't seem to happen all the time, I think its happened when i've held down delete a couple times but usually when i'm quickly correcting an error or removing a few short words. I don't expect a fix, just wondering if I'm a lucky winner of some hardware issue or just ignorant of shortcuts.

Root Help

Make sure under setting>applications >development that the USB debugging is checked. And yeah would agree to using the one click method. Also look up what version of Android you are using under about phone under settings. This will help in getting root access.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Don't root if you don't know what you're doing

This will work if you follow it. However, I hate to be that developer that's telling people not to mess with stuff cause they're new, but be careful. having a rooted phone is great, but understand that just rooting does nothing at all. rooting simply allows you to do stuff that Motorola/AT&T/Android does not allow. You gain "Root" or admin access. There is a reason they do not let you access this stuff by default. It is essential to the system, and you can seriously screw up your phone by messing with it. That said. with a little care and research, rooting is easy and unlocks the path to having a better phone and understanding the inner workings of it better. Long story short. You should not be rooting if you don't know what you are doing and can't figure out how to make it work. When I started messing with this, I knew very little about Android, So I did a bunch of research, and learned more. Once I felt comfortable rooting and understood how it worked, I did. I now run a new rom and many other tweaks, and it's great, but I know I risk breaking my phone if I do something without the proper precautions.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shinydesert:
To me this is the best way to root,and don't forget the USB debugging fron setting,applications,development=USB DEBUG.

Hay guys, I think i'm being a noob here... but...

After rooting and s-offing my old HTC Desire with no problems at all and flashing countless ROMs every five mins with ease, I seem to have gotten stuck with the One X.

My problem is that fastboot nor adb finds my device, I have reinstalled the Android SDK + USB Drivers and HTC USB Divers ect, ect ,ect, but nothing gets listed under any of the commands "fastboot devices" or "adb devices". Looking into my PCs device manager when my phone is in fastboot it shows as "My HTC" with a yellow "!" next to it, the error message is shows is "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)", I have reinstalled the device drivers a few times and each time I get the same error message, however nothing says that the device has been stopped from working.

I'm running Windows 7 by the way.

Can any one help me? I bet its some thing really dum that I have overlooked.

[HTC Rezound] TRSmithV:
I'm using the leaked ICS rom with Sense 3.6. It's great. And I just read an article comparing Sense 3.6 and 4.0. Am I missing something? Other than a few changes, is there really a reason for everyone to be so upset that we (probably) aren't 4.0? Or is it just the principle of the matter? Either way, I am completely happy with 3.6 and the improvements brought by ICS alone.
[HTC Rezound] das0527:
I'm sorry to say there's no "probably" involved here. The Rezound will not get Sense 4.0 in any official manner because Sense 4.0 "is built to take advantage of the hardware in the One Series handsets and beyond".
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I'm a card-carrying Sense hater, but I'm pretty impressed by 4.0. It's been redesigned, and even Newt's beta ROM runs better than 3.6. If this is the future of Sense, then I'll take back what I've said about Sense in the past.
[HTC Rezound] TRSmithV:
Yea I haven't tried Newt's rom yet bc I just got my Rezound yesterday and am content with the ICS leak until exams are over. FYI, Newt released RC1 today for that rom. The leak is performing pretty well tho, for me at least.

[HTC Rezound] PUTALE:
I think one of hte biggest advantage with the 4 is its light weight and better integration with ICS. 3.6 seems to still retain some looks and feel of the current version of sense so it still weighed down a little bit in terms of performnace. 4 seems to help with the performance better as there's less overhead needed.
