10 times better battery life?

;-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The Archangel:
Im using it right now, unplugged my phone at 10 am been off an on with data, an a lot of music too, just hit 14%
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
14% down or 14% left? Doesn't sound like this foes much if it is the latter.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] THEindian:
Who said 10x battery? You'll get better batery life than usual but not 10...I wish I could do that, I need it :)

It's kind of a joke from another thread.... no one in this thread did.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prenedo:
So if im on xyz kernel and flash this, can I go back into built in OC app and change clock speeds or governors? Or is it recommended to leave things be once flashed? Also, will it add smartass governors to a stock sense/aosp kernel?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] THEindian:
No,no,no
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The Archangel:
14 left, an my battery normally drops fast, when I use it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
would the oc deamon for this write over one on a kernel or how does that work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The Archangel:
Yes, it over writes it. Also it sets the correct governor an clock speeds, so the mod works correctly
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
I'd just like to point something out:

When referring to my or any other Android-powered smartphone, do not call it "an Android". That is incorrect; Android is the operating system, not the entire device. I don't run around calling your iPhone an iOS. Go with "Android phone" or "Android device" or something similar.

Secondly, despite Samsung's commercials, calling a device by it's manufacturing name is wrong too. You can argue that all you want: but referring to your Blackberry as a RIM, your iPhone as an Apple, or your Pre Plus as an HP sounds absurd. Android and WP7 devices are created by different manufacturers. So it's even more wrong to do so. It sounds wrong, and it is wrong.

Old people and hipsters: I blame you for this.

[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:

[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Heh... most people I know dont even go for the full Android, and just call it a Droid phone.

I'm fine with that, unless I need to know the exact type, which is rare, Droid works for me, as I am smart enough to understand that when I hear Droid, it just means a person has a phone that runs the Android OS.

No need to get panties all in a bunch over it, that's more of an iPhone owner behavior ;)
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
No... I am on my EPIC 4G! I hate how people specify iPhone and don't just say "my phone" and instead say "oh, let me check my iPhone".
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Pretty much this. Who cares what the proper nomenclature is. Calling an Android device an "Android" or a "Droid" isn't any different than calling any brand of facial tissue "Kleenex" or (for you old timers out there like me) any portable cassette player a "Walkman".
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Problem?

Thread Cleaned

[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Yah, Verizon did an incredible job with their Droid Ad campaign, so much so, that "Droid" seems to be the most commonly used name for any phone running the android OS.

Someone at the Verizon Ad department deserves a major bonus for their work on that Ad run

Dam! I missed it... again!! grrr.... ;)

Argh! Didn't need to see this now my back hurts and I feel OLD lol. I just go with Droid.
[Epic 4G General] axne1:
Android to me is a family. Not just the operating system. Too many people start flame wars over manufacturing. So to me I love my Droid... Not to mention there are too many Android phones out there, and only a few iPhones. Crazy that you care so much lol. please I am only kidding. Anyway hope this helps .

I'm always on!
[Epic 4G General] orlzzt:
I believe the common term for this literary phenomena is "proprietary eponym". 'Kleenex' for facial tissue; 'Xerox machine' for a photocopier, etc etc. Our mod and I live in Central Florida where people drink "Cokes" when they are holding a can of 7-Up...

"Droid" has come on board as any mobile smartphone device NOT manufactured by Apple or RIM.

Darkie is justified for pointing this out, just as the devs were for illustrating the difference between "kernels" and "kernals"

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungovernable1977:
OK quick question... searched a bit and cant find anything, but I swear I have seen this before... just flashed my old Epic with the newest MIUI for the old lady, and now her phone is sending jibberish texts... she will type one and it will send a couple extra of all @#%$$%$*&%*^**(&)(**&*&$%$#^^*(&()&) stuff... Ideas? I was thinking it was because she has been playing with the themes, and one of them jacked up the SMS... ??? Or possibly it needs hands free activation?? It did get the 9016 texts saying it was activated... help?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Known issue you need to have it split the messages after a 160 characters. Also don't send mms over wifi...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungovernable1977:
Thanks for the replies, but my question was not about the split sms issue, as in a text 'testing' ALSO sends a jibberish message or three. Reflashed and now no texts go outbound whatsoever. Will try gosms etc to see if it solves this problem as well, wasnt looking for the split issue, already knew about that... but Ill try anyways... Read all the sms related issues in the MIUI thread... but under 160 chars... idunno.

EDIT: Installed gosms, killed its notificaitons, turned on split... no dice.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Are you on wifi.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I deleted my post. We misunderstood.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungovernable1977:
Thanks Kennyglass... been googling and found all sorts of sms issues, almost all Sprint (ns4g, OG Evo, Epic)... but none exactly the same as this issue. Now its not sending sms at all... (not mms, but I will try that too) but can receive. At least this time it registered the *99 for my airrave (it was already connected to it, just to confirm)... think ill flash back to stock and try again... so let me get this straight, with MIUI currently you have to turn off wifi to send mms, sms, or both? And of course the split message thing... thats easy...

Edit: killing wifi but as I had already reflashed now I cant replicate the jibberish... will see after another clean download and return to stock... thanks guys... I kinda think its a network issue... not sure...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevie13.xo:
You sure its not jibberish mms? That's a known issue
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungovernable1977:
I have read threads where the jibberish is triggered by 160+ char. texts, but not by one word texts. I haven't been on the Epic thread in quite a while, so maybe im missing something. Could you describe the known issue... and how to solve get around it???

OK so not sure if this was related to the jibberish, but phone would not send messages until I called sprint, (forgot hands free activation dialer code), did that, profile, prl... still didnt work. Power cycled Airvana... bam... works... stupid Airvana... cmon go team Network Vision! Id love to know if the jibberish is related to the Airvana, or just some weird bug though...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
I had this same problem on AOKP. About a third of my txt msgs were being received as gibberish.

It's really what caused me to switch to People's ROM. That and the camera problems.

Edit: in believing that the issue is likely fixable, I have switched back to aokp.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryouba:
This is really weird.

My phone died a few days ago due to a lack of charge. When I tried to power it back on, I was greeted by the familiar logo (Cyanogen 6.1), and waited for it to boot as normal.

However, instead of booting, the boot logo would freeze, and then it would show the boot logo again and again. It is a constant cycle of freeze and reboot, not getting into the phone. I flashed the old recovery up so my phone was useable for the weekend out of town.

Here's where it gets weird: When I came home, I downloaded the newest Cyanogenmod rom to my SD card. Same thing is happening now.

Does anyone know what my options are as far as finding a solution to this problem? I would take it back to Sprint, but my paycheck that I just got on Friday left me with literally 40 bucks for groceries for two weeks.

I just came from an iPhone 4 and this is my first Android phone (I've used a touchpad with CM9) and I have a fairly simple question which I can't seem to figure out.

When you receive an SMS, or any notification for that matter, the phone will beep or vibrate but the screen remains black.

How can I change the settings to have the screen light up and show the notification I just received like iOS does. I assumed this would just be a standard setting but after searching the phone and internet for about 10 minutes I gave up.

Thank You and sorry for the noobiness. Plz dont kill me I swear im not trolling.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mfpearson:
i'm guessing he means without 3rd party apps... in which case, i don't think it's possible - at least until we get custom roms.

that's one thing i really miss about my GSII - that, and BLN. the LED on this HOX is so small, i tend to miss it, even if it's blinking.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] enviii:
So wait, your telling me there's no feature built into ICS that makes any sort of a notification pop up on screen on? That's absolutely ridiculous. What am I supposed to do for push emails? Just listen to the beep and have to go toggle the screen each time I get one to see if its important or not?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mfpearson:
you should still get the notifications if your screen is on... i thought you were talking about making SMS and emails light up the display on your screen when the screen is off and you're not using the phone. if you are using the phone, and you get an SMS or email - assuming you are not currently in either of those programs - you should still get a notification.

if you are in fact talking about getting the screen to light up when you receive SMS or email and the screen is off... then yeah, unfortunately, you just have to hear the tone or feel the vibration, and if you miss that, look for the LED. eventually there will be support for making the screen light up, and even BLN (back light notification - where the capacitative keys light up when you receive a SMS or email) - but it's going to take custom kernels for that stuff to happen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] enviii:
Yeah I meant when the screen was off, I guess i didnt make that clear.

But yes its kinda crazy. Guess ill have to learn to deal with it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mfpearson:
it is kinda bad... for now.

once the bootloaders are unlocked, the real fun will begin, and this stuff will be no problem to implement into custom roms. just gotta be patient for a little bit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] soapbubble:
Um, you had to do the same thing with an iPhone. If you missed the initial screen turn on you had to do exactly that. Toggle the screen. Before iOS 5 it was even worse. So calm down and explore your HOX. While you will have to toggle your screen, to make up for it you can customize your lockscreen to quickly allow you to see certain notifications.

If you go to settings -> personalize -> lock screen style and select productivity you'll be able to keep track of your notifications extremely easily.

Otherwise yeah, an easily installed, non-invasive app can quickly fix your problem. If a text makeover isn't what you want check out an app called SMS Flash. It's my favorite least intrusive UI notification pop up. You can't reply from it like you could from SMS Popup or Go SMS Pro pop up notifications, but it does show you them and is slightly customizable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zonk7ate9:
If you go into the messaging app, then go to settings > notifications. There is an option called notification preview. This will turn on the screen and show you a preview of the SMS you just received.

Also under Personalize > Lockscreen, then select the second option called productivity. This will list all of your active notifications on the screen similar to iOS.

You can also access the notification tray from the lockscreen, provided you don't have any sort of security on (PIN, Pass, Etc).

I also think you're being a bit nit picky about not having the screen light up for every notification. That is just as easy to miss as anything else. You have to be looking at the phone to see that. If I'm working on the computer the sound of a tone or vibrate is much more likely to get my attention. You turn the screen on to check the notification when you're ready... I don't really see a problem. Turning the screen on for anything other than incoming calls/texts seems like a waste of battery to me.

Android is a bit different in that the options aren't centralized. Options for notifications are within each app itself. Some apps (like Facebook app Friendcaster) may include optional popup notifications.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mfpearson:
pretty sure that SMS option won't make your screen light up when you receive texts... all it does is place the notification in a square in the middle of your lockscreen, so that when you hit the power button to unlock your phone, you see that square on your lockscreen, rather than having to look for the little icon in the upper left corner of your notification bar.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ddot196:
You get a notification up top....fyi you can pull down the notification bar down and check whatever on the lock screen. You don't actually have to unlock this phone to access notification bar. Love it. My infuse was not the same.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pirateghost:
i actually prefer it NOT to be built in to the OS....i have this thing called CHOICE here in the Android world....and I choose NOT to have that feature baked in....i dont want my screen coming on at all, unless i tell it to.....i fail to see how having a third party app that handles this, a bad mark
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SwiftJudgement:
Handcent SMS is a really good messaging app (better than default IMO). It has a setting that turns the screen on when a message is received. I'm not sure about email because I have never bothered to look for an alternative.

@Pirateghost What if you still had the CHOICE to install a 3rd party app that kept your screen off? Everyone has different preferences, and the OP is upset it isn't available in the stock app. Seems reasonable to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pirateghost:
i didnt say it was unreasonable, but the OP came off as it was a huge shortcoming and he couldnt believe that its not possible to have it implemented in ICS already...and installing a third party app is putting him out...

just an interpretation of the text.....no clue how it was meant
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joshnichols189:
Seriously how hard is it to install an app that does this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tawheed12:
I actually love the fact my screen does not come on for incoming texts / emails - much prefer the notification LED
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
same for me, less screen = more battery :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spyz88:
Yeah we have tons of choice with this bootloader being locked...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
Although it would be nice to make your own custom lockscreen style, that has like the weather and productivity combined
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thinkhope:
Agreed.

Secondly, unless the phone is directly in front of you at all times and you're able to see the screen light up right then and there, then I don't see a difference. If the phone is in your pocket and the screen lights up but you failed to hear the notification, you're still screwed.

Just my .02 :-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
Also, If you have the weather lock screen and you have a notification it will over-ride the weather and you will see the notification. You can drag the sms right into the circle to go straight to it. I haven't tried this with email but i have silent email notifications set.

This works with phone calls though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rfound:
I think this is the first time I have ever heard someone (Even iOS fans) wish for android notifications to work more like iOS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pirateghost:
this. when i came to android in 2010, i was coming from 3 years of iphone....and i wanted NOTHING from my iphone days to carry over...perhaps i am just more understanding of the technology
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
I'm with you, and for a very good reason ...

Actually, there's a very good reason why the screen DOES NOT come on, and that's how it should be.

Here's a strange but possible situation. Let's assume your doing something very important that doesn't allow you to frequently pull out your phone to check SMS messages. Now let's assume you're one of those "youngsters" who sends/receives 10,000 SMS messages a day. So, here's the problem ...

If you have a phone (stupid iPhone), that wakes up the screen with each message, you're quickly going to run down your battery while the phone's in your pocket ... because the screen will be coming on as often as a message is received.

IMHO, the screen should NEVER come on automatically. It should be user choice. There are other reasons why it's a bad idea for the screen to come on automatically, but I'll discuss those another time.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruuvin:
I love how video looks on the kindle fire!

Most of my ripped movies in my "Movies" network share play, but VOBs don't (DVD MPEG). MX Video player and ArcMedia player claim to play VOBs, but they don't. :( ArcMedia can access the share but won't play the VOBs. Neither ArcMedia or MX will associate with the VOB extension, so Android doesn't know what player to launch if I access a VOB via network share in a file browser.

Anybody tried playing a ripped DVD with an android device? If you had success, what player did you use?
