I have been using a new ICS build and wanted to warn everyone about the shutdown problems. It seems that by choosing to shut down by pushing the button and choosing "shut down" leaves the backlight running (you can see it if you look).

This has drained my battery down to nothing preventing my Kindle from booting. The stock charger did nothing, no charge, no light, no boot. Plugging in to the PC made the Kindle come on, but reboot after a couple seconds, not long enough for me to even get into recovery mode.

On a hunch I used my phone charger. Not only did the Kindle kick on and boot, but it seems to be slowly charging. I restored back to the stock ROM and now it seems like the stock charger has no effect at all.

Just be careful and be aware that the back light will stay on for now until the kernel is updated.
[Kindle Fire General] EbRaInTe:
It happened to me already, but it woke up with the original charger.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] b0bness:
yeah two known bugs for the 3.0 kernal are usb wall charging and the device not shutting all the way off (backlight stays on). if you need to you can always go into recovery to charge up. also turning lockscreen and touch sounds off in settings>sound will help save battery
[Kindle Fire General] ryanhuong:
It's 2 different bugs that can combine in a bad way: quick battery drain and loss of wall charger.

Anyways there is hope, people have been grabbing a USB charger form other devices or for most the USB-PC route still charges.

The ROMs are getting very good, the banding is fixed and it seems the AC charger issues have been patched up, even the small menu buttons are fixed in one of the ROMs. Now all I need is a volume bar and I will have my daily driver for a while.
[Kindle Fire General] tennyleaz:
This just happened to me...

My kindle died after shutting down for one day. No battery at all...
[Kindle Fire General] StaticMatt:
Did you even read the first post of the kernel thread?
[Kindle Fire General] freefaling:
Something for the volume control:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.VolumeControl

Back to OP, I used to hold power until the backlight would turn off (about 15sec) but one day it just so happened that my kindle did not turn off completely even then. After that I have been holding it down for a straight 20sec.
[Kindle Fire General] Felnarion:
No, and that's why it's a surprise to them. Hashcode has been saying, repeatedly, he doesn't recommend it as a daily kernel. In big red letters, at the top of two threads, it says wall charging doesn't work. Throughout those threads it has other people posting who say they don't know why their kindle died overnight.

It's just a neverending...I wanna call it a cycle, but there's no cycle to it. It's more like a neverending stream of people who refuse to read.

Guaranteed, if I made a thread offering a kernel and in big red letters at the top it said "THIS KERNEL WILL BRICK YOUR KINDLE" and then proceeded to post a changelog and other information about how to install, etc... There would be no less than 100 posts the following day asking why their kindle doesn't work.
[Kindle Fire General] erikiksaz:
If the devs were offered a dime every time somebody failed to follow directions...
[Kindle Fire General] ryanhuong:
This is a discussion forum right? We are discussing.

If I can help even 1 person avoid that problem then I will. Maybe you guys should stick to the dev threads with all the smart people. This thread is for dummies who can't read.
[Kindle Fire General] StaticMatt:
Not going to argue with you on that one.
[Kindle Fire General] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
You do see the irony in all that, right?
[Kindle Fire General] umash4:
@ryanhuong - just wanted you to confirm once that the wall charger is not indeed working for you.

I too had the same impression for some time as it _looks_ that way, but then realized it is working when I hit the top-left Refresh button in Settings -> Battery. The % kept going up.
[Kindle Fire General] ryanhuong:
With the newest kernel yes it seems to charge fine. The Pure AOKP build seemed to have more issues. Now I am using the newer AOKP and not does the charger work again, but the LED now shows orange or green (but the battery icon s still wrong).

Huge improvements so far.
[Kindle Fire General] KemikalElite:
This happened a few times with my Optimus V. This was because there was no offline charging support for AOSP ROMs at the time. The only way I could get the phone to stay on was to force the battery into a LG Rumor Touch and recharge it with that until the battery could boot the Optimus. Thinking how the Kindle Fire has no offline charging support and a non-removable battery strikes fear into my soul.

I know the AOKP ROMs fully power off the device. So at least I'm okay with that.

Also, is it bad that my Kindle Fire charges extremely slow with any other cable than the stock charger?
[Kindle Fire General] ryanhuong:
It will always work best with the stock charger, but until the bugs are fixed, who knows.
[Kindle Fire General] Dasanko:
It does charge offline, the problem lies in the LED not reporting this properly (it doesn't turn on to reflect the charge status).

This is normal, as they usually provide less amps than the stock charger (1.8).
[Kindle Fire General] ryanhuong:
For what it's worth, I am on #33 AOKP KF Edition and the LED works perfectly. It's the icons that don't work right.

EDIT: I take that back. If the KF is asleep and you plug it in the LED stays dark. If the tablet is awake and you connect the charger, the orange comes on, putting the tablet to sleep the LED stays orange till it turns green when full.
[Kindle Fire General] backspacepc:
Actually as one of the guys that's working on the kernel I would have to say you're incorrect. Wall charging does in fact work. The issue with the led is that the kernel doesn't correctly update it, as well as it doesn't update the from in a manner for the icon to change. If you download a battery widget in the market you will see that it does in fact charge with a wall charger. This is also a better route to go since the OEM charger puts out about 1000mv as opposed to 100mv w/USB 1.0 or 500mv w/USB 2.0. Only other steady charging scenario would be USB 3.0 because its output is 900mv.
[Kindle Fire General] ryanhuong:
Thank you for all your work!
[Kindle Fire General] thebageldude:
Wow. That would be a well paying job..
[Kindle Fire General] gherman222:
agree

Every ICS ROM I've tried with the KF, there are shutdown issues. Please let me know when this is resolved. Otherwise, ICS rocks on the KF! Thanks for everyone's hard work! GLH gherman222@gmail.com
[Kindle Fire General] 4iiiidnerd:
Hmmm, I had problems w my charging too

Even using stock charger overnight wouldn't work, it wouldn't stay powered off. Finally concluded stock charger was bad, tried cleaning w brush/alcohol (um, no, not drinking) ... seemed to work ... but then not at all :-(

So, gave up on stock charger (may have shed single tear). Hooked up HTC phone charger from ... my Hero ... because that's the model I use ... good for 1 amp. Powered off (20 sec style), didn't turn back on for 4 hrs... because some things taste better when they've cooked a bit longer!

This cook took my KF to 99%. Maybe shoulda waited Bit longer ... oh well

From this point, batt percentages were reported erratically. On the GEDE ROM I was using, the % froze @ around 52, when I reset it reported 23 (not plugged in). So, I'd say reporting and calibration of battery statistics are Bad, at least on that 1st drain after a full powered off charge. Now it seems better, but I've switched ROMs (now I'm using Energy 29apr). I'm not sure most problems would be fixed by calibrating thru full powered off charges (drain to 15 then charge full a couple times), I'm guessing the calibration and status reporting are bad. Still good to attempt to Cal regardless, just make sure your cables/charger are constant and not causing it to wake up like my stock one was doing... still don't know what's up with that, it likely going to hit the waste bin. Loose connection or something :-)
[Kindle Fire General] freefaling:
Turning off alternative:

Go to the recovery and power off from there (Credit goes to someone else who discovered this neat trick).
[Kindle Fire General] JoeGDE:
I'm using kernel3.0 #8 with EnergyROM4-29-2012 and charging with the wall wart works fine. If the tablet is asleep, the charging light blinks once in a while to indicate charging. An earlier poster mentioned the limitations of various USB current limits, that being USB 2.0 is limited to 500mA (milliamps, not millivolts). The KF requires more than 500mA to charge the battery.

If you power down the unit normally just turn it on edge so you can see the backlight then hold the power button until the backlight goes off.
[Kindle Fire General] hijax2001:
Easy solution: turn the device screen off with the physical button, then plug the USB charger in and watch for the charging light to turn red. The device is now charging, even though the icon on the lower right-hand side of the screen doesn't show...

You can confirm by going into the Battery section of Settings and watching the percentage go up... :-)
[Kindle Fire General] ryanhuong:
Just to update, I have been using AOKP KF Editions with build #7 for 2 or 3 weeks now (tried #8 but WIFI wouldn't work so went back to #7, waiting for #9). If you are using the newer ROMS they don't seem to have the Sleep of Death problem I initially had, but to be honest since then I have changed how I use the Kindle.

At first I really liked being able to choose Reboot or Shutdown, but the backlight thing burned me and would have bricked my Kindle if I didn't have another random phone charger that "woke it up".

Now I leave the Kindle on all day long (charge for a few hours a day) and when I go to bed at night I simply hold down the power button for 20 seconds. Nothing like the satisfaction of knowing the thing is OFF and not ASLEEP.
[Kindle Fire General] hijax2001:
Disregard---seems is not consistent
[Kindle Fire General] hijax2001:
Well, I think it is still a valid solution...even though the Settings screen shows the device shows that it is "discharging" the battery percentage is still going up. I've gone from 63% to 79% since my last post...
[Kindle Fire General] zeeebs:
Scored on the $140 dollar refurb deal and mine will be arriving tomorrow. First thing I'll be doing is loading CM9 on it.

In regards to this issue, does this mean we have to hold the button for 20 seconds to make it sleep? Or just if we are totally shutting down.

Wouldnt be a huge issue if it was just for power downs but if I had to do this every time I wanted to turn the screen off it might be a dealbreaker.

Looking forward to being part of this forum
[Kindle Fire General] JoeGDE:
It's just for power-downs. Putting to sleep is just a tap on the power button as usual.
[Kindle Fire General] ryanhuong:
Like Joe says, the 20 seconds is just to power off, however I have the bug where it sometimes takes a couple button presses to wake. Either it is getting worse, or I just didn't notice it before.

You always know when it sleeps because of the cool "T.V." shutoff effect.
[HTC One X] JonM1988:
Im getting mines directly from o2-UK and im wondering if it will be branded physically on the phone or will it just be things like the splash screen?
[HTC One X] Tiersten:
If you get a branded version then it will only be firmware. You don't get a network logo on any of the UK One X's.

If it is branded then you'll have to wait for O2 to approve firmware before it'll be pushed out to you as an update.
[HTC One X] JonM1988:
Ah ok cool.. Ordered my phone on Wednesday and the wait is killing me :(

I want to play with it!!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] JKILO:
This is what HTC should've done with this phone. Its an optimized stock rom, from the inital setup you'll notice the difference. It is based off latest OTA so those with S-ON running stock you won't need to run the boot.img through fastboot.

Features:

Ext 4

Fully Optimized and Tweaked

Zipalign On Boot

Native Screen Capture

Beats Audio and Bravia Engine

Unlocked More Settings In Browser

All Apps Updated

Depinked Apps In App Drawer

Thanks to aamikam, strapped365, blue6IX and everyone else who helped in beta testing and if I forgot to mention you then please send me a PM and I'll put you up here. This would've been posted earlier but been busy then had to update to latest OTA, so check it out!

I'm still waiting for this to download, but in the meantime:

Does this include the "espresso/sense" contacts app with the integrated visual voicemail, or the standard sense contacts app (presumably without vvm)?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
So is this stock sense or stock espresso?

"Stock" is throwing me off
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
downloading now

I'm curious... Downloading now!

I wonder, can this be applied as an update to a rooted stock rom?? I'll try but i'm guessing no.

I just flashed over Bulletproof to see how it works. Only been 20min since flash and I let it sit for 12 of those but so far, so good.

Time passes: Asphalt5 seems till be running significantly better on this than on bulletproof for some reason.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Does she have tons of messages? Or a lot of message threads?

Also do you do a normal reboot? Or have you ever used a cache cleaner? I usually run cache cleaner NG every 12 hours as normal maintenance give that a shot please, if all else fails maybe ill share a kernel to ya ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nemesis93:
My guess is she has tooo many messages. I once had this problem and as soon as I deleted all the messages it was lag free.

You should try using handcent or go sms (my personal preference) and set a limit to the amount of messages per person. I have it set to 200 max per person.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] r4d14n7:
Thanks for the replies! I'll have her try that stuff... I usually keep 200 messages per thread and about 10 threads on my phone and don't have an issue. 4G Slide has a faster processor and more RAM so I figured it could handle the threads.

I use normal reboots. I don't have the quick boot option enabled (or whatever it's called). I have a cache cleaner installed on her phone but I normally run it around once a week. I'll up the dosage and see if it helps.

Any thoughts on the dialer bugs? Are they HTC issues?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Well if the dialer bug happened before you rooted the phone, i think its safe to call it a HTC bug.

I used to keep a bunch of texts on my Evo Shift and im talking like 1k at a time, i had one text thread make it to like 900 and then came the lag lol and the shift only has a 800 mhz s2 processor and 512mb of RAM ( 368 available to user ). I have noticed this mySense crap is even slower than plain old Sense so i also posted some mods for Liquid smooth Rosie, no scrolling cache, also posted no recent apps in pull down, a zip to turn the Genius key back into Genuis and one to allow waking of the device by the Menu key ( also has Genius function )
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HappyKhicken:
I don't have any issues with long threads of messages on my MT4GS. I have a total of ~11500 messages, and 40+ threads with some 1000+ and one being 3000+. Never had any slowdowns in messaging at all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Wow the first I have ever heard of that. Even stock the settings are for like 200 msgs.

What setup you running
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] godbilla:
I have about 9k messages and i don't have any problems either. And i restore my messages on different roms all the time. I'm just on cm9 running the default speed, no slow downs. I've restored messages on this rom, too and received no slow downs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
power button wake is a bit hit-or-miss for me, and long press works but the screen disappears immediately. is this happening to anyone else?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Long press of what? And what dissapears? What are you long pressing for? Did you do a full wipe before coming to miktouch? Also you can wake from trackpad and menu with a flashable i made, sometimes these power buttons get wore out
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Not seeing that here.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
added a mod to disable paginated app drawer, hit the link in the second post.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Nice mod, I always hated how the app drawer got paginated. I much prefer a smooth scroll. Thank you!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
One thing i did notice after flashing is the bottom row of apps you can only see half of it in portrait, but landscape shows them all. No biggy to me but to some it might be you know
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I didn't notice it until just now that you mention it. They still work fine, so it is no biggy for me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
It just seems like most things in android is a trade off, you gain something very fun/useful but pick up tiny bugs/glitches along the way. But its so much better than stock lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
So whats your guys antutu benchmarks look like with stock kernel? How are linpacks for you all?

I know benchmarks are simply numbers and have zero effect on real world usage but i have been using antutu and linpack to test this out

Would anyone be interested in a mod that changes the background of Settings to whatever your wallpaper is at the current time? Or how about a mod that allows for a transparent/semi transparent app drawer? I have the settings one done I'll start the Rosie mod in a minute just curious cause this thread don't get much attention
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
The app drawer mod sounds interesting.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah I have them both done now, the app drawer is currently just semi trans black but it is changeable by the users with 7zip or any archive viewer, no decompile needed just drop an image in drawable-hdpi and roll, also I left the smali edit out that way its up to the user to set trans level with something like gimp. But what ill prolly do when I post it is make a few sample images for users to play with
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
alright the second post now links you to the new Rosie.apk thats modded to allow for a custom app drawer background changeable by the user.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah me and jkilo have talked about it and It's also talked about a couple pages back. I have tried to logcat it and It wasn't giving me much at all to go on you can go in and clear It's data so no more fc happen

Also I'll be posting a kernel thread soon for the new ota releases source it should be interesting to see how many ppl come out of the wood work then
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Clearing data for dsp fixed the fc, I'm getting "android process acore" fc when I search for contacts using the search key, any fix? I never understood why this happens since this happens sometimes on other roms I've tried.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Another issue I keep getting is sometimes the people I'm texting won't have names. Like I mean only the persons number will show in messages even though the person is saved to my contacts. Rebooting fixes though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Man ace you have some issues with custom ROMS huh. And you already know how I wipe, I can honestly say I've never had that problem. I've never had any problems other than on ICS. But that's a different story. I'm wondering what can be done to make your ROM flashing more smooth
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Yea I know [sigh] lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Its almost like your phone hates you and that's no good :-\ maybe a super wipe all script of something

So I've been using this rom, and I really like it, except yesterday I started getting force closes in all the HTC apps - started with the Gallery, but now it's happening in Calendar and in the Dialer as well. I tried fix_permissions, but it didn't seem to do anything...

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Actually, I've been seeing this too - I long press to turn off or reboot, but as soon as I let go of the long press(when I see the option to choose), it goes to sleep instead of letting me tap the screen to choose an option.

Edit: Ah ha! If you tap the option on the screen while still holding down the power button, it reboots just fine.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I've been running this now as my daily driver for a while and I haven't encountered any of these problems, other than the DSPManager.
