So i flashed my i777 a few hours ago and i am yet to figure out a way to get my att address book sync'ed. usually it comes up at the start-up as im sure you all already know... but it didnt with this aokp rom and i cant for the life of me figure out how to get them. its only a few numbers, but it is the few numbers that google will never sync for some reason. i also sync'ed my contacts several times with google before i did the reset and it still would not save the 20 or so contacts i am missing.

any thoughts on how to get the contacts?

Here are some screenshots of my Battery Usage and as you can see my battery is just horrible:

I have done some research into the Android OS draining the majority of the battery and didn't really find anything with the SGS4G, however found the issue in the Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy SL i9003, Galaxy Note GT-N7000, and the Samsung Infuse 4G forums, and I am sure there is probably more..

Out of all those forums this is the only one that seemed like it could have a solution linking it to:

My only problem, I have neither of those on my phone.

I was hoping that maybe somebody here could help me diagnose the issue. For the longest time I just have thought my battery is getting old and isn't holding a charge as long, or I just use my phone too much. However after watching my Battery Usage over the past couple days makes me wonder if there isn't another issue here.

I am currently running RaverX3X's amazing Valhalla BlackEdition Final with the Booster and FBis251's bhundven's SMS KJ6 v0.2.0 Kernel. I also have installed the BraviaHack and am using the KG4 Modem. I am able to post logs or anything that can possible help. I have used thomas.raines 1-Clink Gremlin Remover following each step to the "T" with no luck of fixing the issue.

I have attached more Battery Usage Stats as well in case they might help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
I'm pretty sure it's your kernel, try antonx kernel, it has better batter life
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sario27:
I will have to give that try, do you happen to know what kernels are known for providing the best battery life? I guess I can always search around and see lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Upgrade to build3 of VB-FB which comes with beta5 of antonx's kernel plus other fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sario27:
I'll have to give that a shot. Right now I'm testing battery usage with airplane mode activated, and the screen off for the next 8 hours. I'm logging battery usage with the BetterBatteryStats app, to see if I can pin point the problem in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
I use antonx kernel and have great battery life, try it and see how you like it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JonnyStreetz:
Well you may already have your answer but just incase :D

GR>FB's VB (Or Other)

But really at this point it looks like its a kernel issue.

Good luck

Sent from my Maybach s 4g
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sario27:
Thanks guys, I have pretty much resolved the issue as I have switched Kernels and am no longer experiencing huge battery loss from anything other then the Display which is just plain normal. I still plan to update over to FBis251's version of ValhallaBlack as I have been keeping an eye on it, and debating when to make the switch.

[On a side note] I'm still not hundred percent sure why the Kernel was giving me this issue to begin with. If I had more experience with Android development debugging I'd love to dig deeper into this issue. However though since it doesn't seem to be a huge issue among other users in the SGS4G forums, and it is easily fixed by using another Kernel I don't really see the need.

Thanks again FBis251, and m0bstr.

Problems with Android OS with Gingerbread and Froyo

I have now encountered battery drainage problems on two different Samsung phones. For a long time my Samsung Captivate ATT running Froyo 2.2 was killing my battery. I was about to buy a new phone. I touched base with Samsung and decided to back up my phone and do the factory wipe.

After the reset and the loss of my apps, the phone seems to be working ok. Even a battery which constantly appeared to be dead, is now working fine and holding a charge.

Today another phone the Samsung Glide ATT running Gingerbread seems to have caught the problem and Android OS is using 25% of the the battery. This is ridiculous.

Normally, about 75% is for display and OS doesn't even show up.

Another person at work had an Android exhibiting similar problems today. This problem seems to be pretty widespread if I know three people with this problem. Feedback appreciated.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Weapon X 20:
Is there a way to block all of the group messages that are sent from the iPhone iChat???? Like 8 of my friends have a iPhone so whenever they send a message to the group it comes to be from that person individually but with the heading

"[Subject: New Message]"

And I cannot block them or stop the notifications since I am in the group of the chat. Any suggestions besides asking them to not include me since they will just do so to annoy me lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] slag02:
Sounds to me like its an MMS message - If I send an MMS message with no subject it comes across the same way.

Can they use the subject field would that help?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Weapon X 20:
If they use change the subject field it won't help block the messages. Even if I select to not auto-receive the MMS messages I still get the notification and every message from the group. I wouldn't mind if they got sent to one entry and it was just a running chat message basically. But every time each contact messages the group I get a individual message from them. So if 8 people are in the Chat I get a message from each of the 8 every time they reply. Has no one else come across this yet?????????????
[Motorola Photon 4G] chewy106:
Seriously. So sick of that feature for every non-iPhone user.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Weapon X 20:
There has to be a fix or a way to block these. You may receive 100 messages in one day, for me at least 100, from the group chat. very very very annoying! Any suggestions

Hey folks

I recently heard from a dev contest for winning a Windows Phone 8. (Yep, you've read right a WP8 device). I'm not sure what I should believe as the source is a ms gold partner company (I'm not giving you the name pls don't ask but I think they're trustworthy...).

Anyone else heard of it? What's even more strange that he was talking about a lumia 900 and as far as I know MS kept quite.

It's JUST RUMOUR. (I'm usually not on the rumour trip but I'd rather kill me than missing a chance to win a lumia 900:cool:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nono240:
Hey guys!

I'd like to share some pieces of code I wrote last week-end. The title says all :p

I wrote a little wrapper to the (hidden) Face(Un)Lock API. Of course, I discourage anyone from using it in production builds since the API will probably change in the future and your app wil get broken. :D

The code should be straightforward, so it's not really commented. This is only a proof of concept :

​

Android 4.0 with FaceLock enabled is needed as requirements.

DEMO available :

For the first time. It never worked well here under HC.

They seem to have solved it by not using the noise cancelling mic. So while bg noise is high the signal is no longer garbled. It's now quite useable for recording notes and the like.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atr73:
This is my first post and sort of new to this. I have two simple questions.

1) I am running latest CM7 nightly in mSD for Nook Color. Can I simply place CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe - KANG build onto mSD to run it? Will the system recognize the file and overwrite my nightly?

2) Can I also downgrade from latest CM7 nightly to a stable release by placing stable release into my mSD?

thanks ahead of time for help.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes to both.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atr73:
thanks for the quick reply.

I have one more question if anyone can answer. Sorry for being noob. :)

I just start using android/Nook from iOS. I can do just about anything inside iOS.

Here is my question when I update to stable/mirage build does my data and settings retain? This just update (overwrite) nightly and install. Correct?

Unless you factory reset, all settings and installed apps will still be there after flashing a new ROM.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PipeHitter:
Something I've been wondering,,,after performing an update build while running off of mSD should we be wiping cache and dalvik cache? And if so, how?

Or is that only a emmc thing?

I would think that even running on mSD both cache would still be needed by the ROM, and therefore could be wiped.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
If you're running off verygreen's SASD... it wipes cache when you perform an update.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PipeHitter:
Arggh!! <smacks hand to forehead>

I've sat and watched the output numerous times during a install/update and noted the "flushing cache" message. duh.

thanks for the reply.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It does not wipe cache. That message means something else. It is just cleaning up after itself.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The only way to wipe cache with a verygreen SD install is to use third party programs like Titanium Backup. It is not really necessary as the system will rebuild the dalvik cache if it needs it. (Actually you can use a specially modified CWM recovery to do it, but not many people have that installed.)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PipeHitter:
Thanks clearing that up leapinlar.

I gave it a shot using TIB, and it reported 2 files as not needed for a total of 5.1mb removed.

I do remember viewing a thread somewhere in reference to that modified CWM. After review, I felt that taking simple SD image backups would suffice rather than using modified CWM in this instance. Only other benefit to CWM I felt I was lacking is cache cleanup. So looks like I have that covered now.

Thanks again.

[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Looks like with some mods it should. A quick search on xda and its been done with the Razr and a guy on android central claims to have done so with the D4. I can't post the link but it turned up pretty quick on search.

Apparently, the mod is super easy and involves 2 screws and shaving some plastic.

[Motorola Droid 4] jbeazell:
Wow...that's a REALLY good deal :) the mod does look really easy. According to what the other site says (I googled 'atrix 4g lapdock with droid 4' and found it), the hdmi and usb ports are in the right place, but flipped upside down. all you have to do is unscrew them, square some plastic, and flip them.

The poster does say that a 'media center' app is missing, but I'm sure that with a bit of hunting, one could find it or a replacement.

thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Over on the droid forums a guy is using the bionic lapdock with his D4 just sits a little off center but no mod needed. Its $80 at bens outlet shipped. I would expect the mod for the atrix version will void the warranty.

Notice the round sticker that covers the screws. One on each side.

View attachment 1040017

Remove this retainer that is molded for the Atrix, it is not needed, nor will it fit the D4.

View attachment 1040018

Once you pop off the piece of plastic that holds the connectors, flip them upside down and put them back in. That being said, I took the tip of my pocket knife and carefully carved an appropriate shape for the connector. The holes are stamped or molded to only fit one way, but with a sharp tip, and only a small amount of pressure, you can shave that away enough.

The connectors (USB/HDMI) stay in their same spot, but are just upside down. Now carefully put the wires back in place, and replace the plastic cradle piece, and replace the screws.

I did not take a picture of that step, but I wish I had. If it is requested, I could tear this down again for that picture. :) Happy modding!

Note: unfortunately, this lapdock does not recognize two finger gestures like the 100 and 500 does :(, but it does allow for tap and hold to drag things around, like screen touch or moving windows or items, etc. And it is a bigger screen than the 100, but smaller than the 500. No front facing camera as the 500 does.

Hi,

I'd like to change the autobrightness values for each step. The current ones are a bit to dark for my taste. I am currently in AOKP and they are way better than the stock ones. Any app, kernel or idea how to tweak these settings ?

Thanks.

You can just decompile your frameworks, change each brightness step value, then compile and flash.

If you're using Aokp rom, settings, display, custom backlight setting. Then check use custom, edit other levels. Left column for sensor level the brightness needs to change. Mid column is the screens actual brightness.

Lux Dash in the Play Store works pretty well. It allows you to "link" custom brightness settings to ambient light levels.
