[HTC Rezound] rsage:
Looks like there's a minor uproar over changes HTC made to memory management and multitasking in sense4 in the One series. I'm assuming this affects any sense4 ROM running on the Rezound as well (or any sense4 ROM for any device).

In a nutshell, it seems HTC kills non-sense background tasks & apps much more aggressively to ensure there's plenty of memory available for sense4. This seems to be negatively affecting some apps that users expect to run in the background.

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-speaks-sense-4-multitasking-and-memory-management

Some users believe true multitasking is broken, HTC says it's working as designed...
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Lol. I've actually been enjoying Sense 4, much to my surprise, but that's just funny.

Sense 4--it's not leaner and more stripped down, it just edges everything out for resources. That recognition of how bloated Sense is is a little too real.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Doesn't surprise me in the least.
[HTC Rezound] Sleek69:
Am I the only one that honestly prefers sense 3.6?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
doesn't suprise me considering how many people have complained about sense having to restart when exiting an app. Give it more resources and that won't happen. I personally think all launchers should be like that.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
agreed. i didn't get that issue often, but when i did, it pissed me off. i ran sense 4 and i loved it...i just wish the rosie were smoother..that honeslty made me go back to sense 3.6 because it was as laggy as when my Inc ran 3.0 roms. can't deal with a laggy rosie!
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
did you see htc's official response to all the complaints? Basically said that yes they tweaked android's memory mgmt to assure a proper Sense experience...
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Thats basically what V6 supercharger does anyway, so I'm cool with it.

I love me some Sense...altgough I have no idea why. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I'm just enjoying my sense-free experience....... :)
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Guess you wont need to run Task Killers anymore. Oh wait you guys don't use those do you?

Manufactures just can't win leave tasks running people use task killers, kill the task and people complain. Nothing wrong with freeing up a little memory for the OS, especially when you got a bunch of crap running in the background that ain't doing **** but using memory/CPU and killing your battery. Its impossible to #win today..
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
It's not just sense 4 roms. I'm running cleanrom 4.4 based on the leaked ICS and sense 3.6. The task killer in this thing kills off almost all background tasks after a day or so. I have a lot of widgets and apps that run in the background and are supposed to update every few hours (especially facebook widget and twitter widget). they work for the first day or so, then after that they all stop updating. Only way to fix it is for me to do a fresh reboot then they work again for a day or so, then quit.

Also, if you notice the changelog for the OTA update that came out in January one of the biggest changes was that they supposedly "fixed" the task killer from being overly aggressive because it was killing off HTC's own email app and keeping it from fetching mail on a regular schedule. I think all they did was add in an exception for the HTC mail app. It still kills off third party email apps and lots of widgets. It's very frustrating having to reboot every other day just to get widgets to stay updated.

I did notice that in GB in one of the settings menus there was an option to not have taskmanager start at bootup. I never experimented with that, I just upgraded to ICS and havent seen that option in the menus.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
This really bugs me, if only because I was accused of trolling when I posted a link to a Gizmodo article where HTC said that Sense was bloated and unwieldy, and that they were fixing it in 4.0. Well it turns out they weren't fixing it, they just messed with how Android handles memory so they didn't have to fix it. Wtf?
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
Anyone compare minfree on gb vs our latest ics leak to see if sense 3.6 does this as well?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratdog07067:
Hey everyone,

Just flashed the newest CM7 RC2 and the in-call volume (from the earpiece) is just way too loud, even at the lowest volume setting. Not sure if it's something with this ROM (I've tried a bunch of the TW varieties and don't remember noticing it) or maybe just my phone?

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks,

Do u use voodoo sound? And you mean bluetooth right? Or headphones..?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratdog07067:
I tried installing voodoo but the CM7 kernel doesn't support it (or viceversa).

And bluetooth is fine, I'm having a problem with the earpiece on the phone itself. Just noticed it on a call today when my bluetooth died.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trent1w:
Same Issue

I am having the same issue with in call volume. Has anyone found a solution? Have reflashed onto the most recent nightly 06/03 of CM7 and have even done a factory reset with no change. Love this ROM as I can get almost 2 days of battery life with it, but the call volume is making my ears bleed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
Not sure if the new nightlies have the fix but according to the change log RC3 had the fix.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
just try rc3 then you will know if they fixed it or not. my understanding is the nightly might not have the rc3 kernel. not sure how to tell.
[HTC One S] couchmonkey:
I'm running the latest ICS leak for the rezound which is based off the ICS for the One S. There is a problem with weblinks opening up in the browser instead of apps (such as YouTube/Play Store) since HTC added a new setting called App Associations.

I posted all over the place and didn't get any help, so I emailed HTC but instead of Rezound, I told them I have the One S. They finally replied, but now they want a crapload of information about the One S that I don't have. I don't know what to do about the device information they need.

Anybody want to help?
[HTC One S] sherifone:
I'm in the process of talking with HTC about this issue. Essentially they had to remove the option of having a dialog popup to allow you to go into YouTube because of an Apple lawsuit.

All American ROMs from HTC have this limitation, but hopefully they'll find some kind of a workaround. I have a phone call scheduled with them tomorrow.
[HTC One S] gregdreg:
I have the same issue, I never get prompted to "complete action using" the browser always opens the mobile site instead of the app I have called htc and t mobile to no avail.

Go to settings>app associations. From there you can set what app opens with actions. I notices this was absent in the EU based roms, but us roms should have it.

So, I need some wise words from customers of either Comcast or AT&T. Which plan are you using and how reliable is it? how about the router?

Our house really needs a wifi by this month.
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
If those are the only two choices: Comcast (Comcast has a 250 GB data limit) AT&T depends on whether it's U-Verse or DSL (either 150GB or 250GB but I can't remember which one is which.

Comcast has great selection of On Demand stuff

Otherwise, I say Verizon FiOS (no data limits ;) )
[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
Holy poo, didn't realize that U-Verse had data limits. Mess is getting crazy.
[Off-topic] M4sAREawesome:
Yeah I truly hate how they have a data limit now! Next thing you know they'll turn into tier pricing like smartphone data plans. Like 20 bucks for 50gb etc...

[Off-topic] iynfynity:
250GB a month is totally fine. Do they provide the router?
[Off-topic] altgamer:
Been using Comcast for years now on the Burst Plus plan and have no real complaints (aside from the 250gb cap), as far as I recall they do provide a rental modem / router for you.

We've usually gotten our own hardware though, since it saves in the long run, currently using a Motorola SB6120 modem with a D-Link DGL-4500 router (using for wired and wireless), and have had no issues.
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
I believe they do. There MAY be a rental fee (5$-7$ a month, something like that)

**Note: it's been awhile since I've had Comcast. Router rental fees may have changed or, they may have a different policy regarding routers now....
[Off-topic] fallen9999:

[Off-topic] Tachi91:
Comcast Offers Routers mostly Netgear.. Now in my area their giving out new Routers/Modem Combos... but i think those might be when you choose Phone along with Cable. But of course at a rental fee. Routers

Speak of the devil Comcast abandons 250GB data caps, will trial tiered plans starting at 300GB

I have cox communications and are happy with them (cable) way faster then quest or At&t dsl, i get average of 24mb a second which is good in my area, i wish fios was here tho i would get that if it was here.

But i would go with comcast over At&t ;)
[Off-topic] iynfynity:
Where's your area?

I've asked my neighbors and both AT&T and Comcast have good coverage in my area. I just have to know which is better in terms of price and customer service, though AT&T is not notorious for having a bad customer service.
[Off-topic] BeerChameleon:

In my area cox is the best price, customer service and speed for the price,

DSL is slow, Comcast is good just more expensive then cox and not available at my apartment.

I get up to 27mb down and sometimes 15mb up and i pay 64 bucks and never has a problem with them, comcast is good but like i said it isn't in my area of apartment :rolleyes:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backdown:
Alright, back story first :

Had ICS running on my kindle fire. I went to just delete everything off of it, but must of accidentally deleted the ROM itself. Went to go flash a new ROM, and it wouldn't flash it. Kept getting an error after it "installed". So i let it sit for a couple of weeks.

Where i am now :

My KF is currently charging (it is turning on and off, so it appears to be charging?) The kindle fire is recognized after i install drivers on my 64 Bit Windows 7 pc. I am using KF utility, as well. How do i remove all my roots, and start over again?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Fabian1985:
Hi all,

Well the question is in the title :p I just don't get it why my phone on wp7 is empty

in 2 hours while android gives me 6.

I have to take my charcher anywhere I go.

And all useless "battery eating settings" are off.

Can i perhaps do more to increase battery life?

Greetings out of Holland at 1:57AM

Fabian1985
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] squeek83:
Hi there,

it is really not normal that your battery drains in 2 hours for WP7. It is also not normal that your battery drains in 6 hours for android.

Believe me, battery life is as good for android as for wp7.

I can do about 1.5 to 2 days with average use of bluetooth and with regular surfing on the mobiel internet.

What I did learn from the past:

when installing a new WP7 rom, I inserted a new sd card. Therefore I had to take out the battery. After inserting the new sd card, the battery and after installing the rom (doesn't matter which rom), my battery was empty in about 2 hours.

After a long time the conclusion was as follows:

when reinserting the battery, I accidently bent one of the pins that make contact with the battery. This caused a bad contact and made the battery drain very fast!

So what you should do first: make sure that the three pins of the cell phone make good contact with the three contacts on the bottom of the battery.

Believe me, it seems stupid, but it really matters!

I hope this helped you to solve your problem.

Please give some feedback.

Greetz!

I have been experiencing the same problem with this phone since I got it, no matter what rom I'm on. While its off, it is fine. It will last for several days with the screen turned off. Once the screen is on it eats up 2-3% per minute. With an extended battery it will show the screen as taking up 99% of the battery and screen on time will be around a half hour.

Screen Protectors

I'm actually a cell phone salesman and the best that I've found all around is Zagg. You can get them online for around $10-$15 if you look around and they give a lifetime warranty, you pay $3 shipping and return your old screen if you make a claim. A lot of people complain that Zagg's shields are too rubbery, but they have different types. The anti-glare works out in the sun and is smudge proof, and they recently released HD, which is the same glossy finish, but feels like glass instead.

I've used Ghost Armor's, Otter Box's and around a million obscure off-brands from Amazon. Zagg takes the cake, hands down.

[HTC One X] floepie:
You have a problem when you have ALL of the following conditions met:

1. Your battery level is below 3.68 V (3680 mV) (about 10% charged).

2. You have a custom recovery on the recovery partition AND a custom ROM on the system partition.

3. You have just re-locked your bootloader and you can't re-unlock it because your battery is too low (less than 10%).

Here's the problem: If you want to use a RUU, you need about 30% battery. But, if you have less than that, you need to charge it. But the problem is, you can't charge it because you can't boot your phone into either recovery or the ROM itself in order to accept a charge. A re-locked bootloader will NOT allow you to boot either into the custom recovery or the custom ROM. And, you cannot charge your phone in fastboot. Additionally, you cannot re-unlock your bootloader because your phone has even less than 10% charge (3.68 V). If you have between 10% and 30%, then simply re-unlock your bootloader and boot into recovery and charge as normal to a level somewhere above 30% if you want to flash an RUU. But, if your battery is below 10%, then you will need to bring it back above 10% with the script below.

So you need the following script which power cycles your phone repeatedly in order to turn off your screen long enough to accept a charge. Once you reach 3.68 V, which is 10% charge, you're through the woods, so to speak, as you can then, re-unlock your bootloader.

Run the following script as a batch file while your phone is in USB fastboot mode.

Here is the script:

" @echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage

fastboot reboot-bootloader

ping /n 6 localhost >nul

goto start
"
