[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eirikr88:
I won't deny there is definitely temptation in it. I would'nt mind knowing how the GSM Nexus antenna performs compared to the CDMA one i had did. I would pay the money to swap to no contract Nexus.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
That's a good possibility, actually. My fiancée works wonders with CS reps and escalations. Somehow she always complains enough to get some corporate officer involved, and gets what she wants... When it came time to trade in my old Photon to best buy, we ended up getting $200 in gift cards on top of what they initially gave me for the phone, and a free microwave!

Long story short, it's a possibility... Lol
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] JosephL:
I haven't turned on the Springboard in a few weeks, today I do and a password lock screen shows.

Any ideas how this happened and how to turn it back off?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] iswanptr18:
Is it password for lockscreen or password to decrypt internal storage? Well, i guess you can fix it both using CWM (google it, since i don't have permission to quote outside link) by:

1. wiping user data (for lockscreen password) or

2. you can format the SD-ext then wipe user data (it's for decrypt storage)

Hope it'll help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
looks like facebook is the biggest culprit, and that makes sense. after some recent facebook updates, many are complaining about this. personally, i removed facebook from my nexus s and galaxy nexus just because it began sucking my batteries dry without me ever opening the app. everything else looks fairly normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
What do you call bad battery life? Having a quick glance, 43 mins awake with screen on for 30 of that and a large portion in deep sleep, seems OK, not much keeping it awake unnecessarily. That allows 14 odd mins for sync ect. I have great battery life but still have 21 kernel wakelocks.

What screen on time are you getting on one charge?

Someone cleverer then me will be along in a minute to shoot me down...:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
I get roughly one hour of screen time per charge, having previously averaged 2 hrs. The culprit is clearly the kernel wake locks like:

"modem_usb_suspend_block" (): 3 m 27 s (207 s) Cntc/wc/ec)663/0/0 3.3%

"modem_usb_gpio_wake" (): 2 m 51 s (171 s) Cntc/wc/ec)634/71/634 2.7%

I don't have usb tethering turned on, but these two items are consistently among the top kernel wake locks. Several users have complained about the same issue, but nobody has ever responded with a clear answer. I have tried nearly everything, from changing the ROM to changing the kernel, to eliminating apps. My battery actually dies as bad with the screen off as with it on.

How do I fix these wake locks and get my phone back on track.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
turn off sync on facebook if you havent already or force it to never sync with contacts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
How did you make that assumption? If you look under wakelocks, Facebook barely accounts for any of them.

Also, I started by deleting the facebook app, and my phone still experienced the same drain. It's got to be the USB lock under kernel causing the problem. But I have no idea what it is or how to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
Again, I started to troubleshoot this issue by erasing all data, including facebook. It's not the culprit, and that's why it shows up lower down the list under partial wakelocks.

I'm almost certain it has something to do with those usb wakelocks, even though i'm not tethering and have turned that function off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
14 minutes for syncing? That's pretty bad. And if you look at your BBS, do you see USB kernel locks that take up, on the average, 13-14 min per day, and there are multiples of them? If the answer is no, then I have an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Have you tried to return to stock to see if the issue is still there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EchoVelocity:
By the looks of it, it's Facebook that is providing the majority of the wakelocks. The Facebook app has a history of waking the device up, so getting rid of it is a good thing. I'd recommend FriendCaster instead, or use the touch interface for Facebook in your phone browser.

Another possible culprit could be the eBay app you have as well, although I'd personally check the battery and wakelock status after a day without the facebook app installed.

Finally, I'd recommend changing the sync preferences. It looks like you have Gmail set to immediate notification of messages. Try reducing the time between checks. I find 30 minutes is usually ample for me, but feel free to set it slightly lower if you get more urgent emails.

Hope I helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
I started off this process by deleting facebook and all the other apps you mentioned altogether. That doesn't change the fact that I have a couple of giant kernel locks that appear to have nothing to do with facebook or ebay. How do I get rid of those?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
have you checked all your account syncs? is one of them being hung up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
No, but I've changed kernels AND roms. No reason why stock would be any different, and it's just a hassle to go reload the ROM altogher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Have you done a full factory reset and re-installed things and set them up without restoring data for them? Odds are that through flashing various ROMs and kernels, something got "stuck" or messed up to cause the issue. I have seen several users experience this with the DROID Charge, and fully wiping everything and setting it all back up without restoring via Titanium Backup or similar fixed the issue.

My suggestion would be to use the fastboot files, restore to fully stock, let the phone boot, then go back and reinstall your rom/kernel/recovery of choice, and setup everything without restoring. If it still happens, then I would try the same apps on stock (again, don't restore data), and see if it is still there. If it is, then I would say try to get a new phone as it could be hardware related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
Is there a .zip file I can use to restore to rooted stock? I'm not near a computer that can load fastboot files via odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
You don't need Odin to flash factory images, just fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
Ok, went back to factory and am still seeing the same kernel wake locks. I still can't get a clear answer to my question: what are the following kernel wake locks:

Modem_usb_gpio_wake

Modem_usb_suspend_block

I see others posting dump files with these same culprits,but nobody can answer the simple question: what's causing the KWs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Screen on time about 5 hours for me, with lots of texting and music playing. Wifi on for 3 hours too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
What does that have to do with the question I asked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] automaddux:
It sounds to me like those wakelocks are part of the kernels themselves and probably not possible to remove them. I'm not an expert by any means but USB seems to be pretty important. Also I was having problems recently so I unrooted/relocked my phone and put stock 4.0.2 back on it. then rooted again and it seemed to fix most of the problems I was facing. maybe you could try that and if all else fails, unvoid the warranty and take it back to the store and tell them to give you a new one. take that one home and see if it gives you the same problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neccoguy21:
For what it's worth, here's what my configuration is, and I couldn't be happier with my battery life. Notice I don't have any weird settings turned on in franco.kernel updater, and look at the battery life actually rising and falling in a wave pattern while asleep. We'll probably never actually know what the cause of that is, but before anyone starts ranting on that something is actually causing the dips and therefore amv losing more power than I should, I'm just gonna go on record saying "I'm not sure that's right..."

I also included my customized lock screen picture I use that reflects my awesome combo of ROM and kernel. If anyone wants to use it, be my guest. (I only take credit for the customizing, not the original picture. I thank who ever created it and shared it with the world.)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
I've tried several roms and kernels, and the wake lock doesn't go away. How did you return to stock 4.0.2? Is there a way to accomplish that without a computer? I'm on vacation and only have my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
Not sure how this answers my question. I want to know what's causing my kernel wake locks. I don't think it's Franco, because I've tried several different kernels. Can you post a dump from BBS for your phone, since it has a similar setup to mine? That'd be helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neccoguy21:
I'm not exactly sure how to get a dump of my phone (isn't funny how some things are second nature to us hackers and developers while other things can go over the next one's head?) I opened bbs reader and it wasn't in English so I didn't start messing around with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
I read somewhere that this problem may be h/w related.

Check to see if the pins in the USB port aren't shorting, touching off anything making the phone think tethering is active etc.

The post I read on another forum said the guy sent it off to Samsung and got the board replaced.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
1. How does one connect the transformer to a HDTV? Is the appropriate equipment in the box?

2. How does one Swype on the UK version of the Asus keyboard?

3. How do I change the speed of animations?

4. Is there a keyboard shortcut for the multitasking button?

5. How do I speed up internet?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gam3r 4 Life:
I can try to answer some of these for you.

1) You need an HDMI cable with one end as a micro hdmi. It does not come with it. Heres the one I use.

2) Go the to the main swype beta home page with your tablet (in tablet mode), it wont work if you have it in desktop mode. Sign up for the beta and download beta.

3) I dont think you can. If your getting lag use the Asus Task Manager widget to kill background apps. There really shouldnt be any lag though. This is one of the smoothest tabs Ive ever used.

4) ??

5) If your internet seems slow I doubt its the tablet. More likely your router, or internet type. I get almost 35mb/ second with mine.

Hope that helps.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks a lot, you did help.

1. Does anyone know how tablet remote works?

2. Would you recommend that one buys Norton tablet anti virus for £50? What does it offer that the free ones don't?

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RolloJarvis:
You can use right alt+tab for multitasking on the keyboard

You can swype on the main asus keyboard without downloading the swype beta. Im using perfect keyboard from the market however and i prefer it to the stock one as it is split so you can use it with your thumbs

Animations cant be sped up in the stock ROM, but I think the modified buildprop posted in the DEV section increases them slightly (correct me if wrong). On my phone I was able to increase the transition animation speeds using an app called "spare parts" so you may want to check that out

Internet should be fast. Ive noticed its actually faster than my laptop. If by speeding up the speed of connection TO the wifi hotspot, again try using the modified build.prop as that has some tweaks in it.

About antivirus, I wouldnt bother with it. It just slows the tablet and I think its unnecessary unless you are really lack confidence with technology. The same principles apply for the using PCs - if you dont trust something you downloaded off the internet, or from an email, dont open it! I have been without antivirus for years on my home PCs and phones and have never had a problem because I know what im doing. I would suspect that the main reason for antivirus on android is just for the companies to make a load of cash by scaremongering.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks greatly for responses. Sometimes the swype on asus keyboard just doesn't work, I didn't know why. Do you need root for the modifiedbuild?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magentavibe:
great help welcome..

As a first time tablet user (3 days), i am actually disappointed with the performance of TF300T compare to my wife's ipad 2. To make it worst, she think i make the wrong choice for not choosing apple... Until i arrive to this forum specifically to the topic below :D ..

TF-300 Minor tweaks and Speed increase(ROOT REQUIRED)

I think i can gain some respect if i follow the topic but....

In the topic, there are so many term that is only suitable for experienced user which leave me :confused: (blob, su, ww, etc ). From the topics, it is said, i can do the 'tweak' without rooting (which i dont really know how to do it) but using adb push (which i dont even know the meaning of it) to make it work.

The only thing is comprehensible for a newbie or noob like me is the result. I can make my tablet better than what i have now.

So, if there are any expert that can help me with the topics, please let me know. Any help will be very much appreciated.

As of why i post this here,

i prefer it to the stock one as it is split so you can use it with your thumbs

What did you mean by that dear Sir. I can split my keyboard like ipad keyboard do?

Thanks again. It is my first post in such a forum and english is not my first language.

[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
KeiCS is a custom kernel built for AOSP, specifically for CM9 and AOKP.

A list of features in this kernel is available in the second post :)

You can download version 2 here.

Instructions of installation are on the third post.

By flashing you accept that I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens before/while/after flashing your phone, and if your CPU cooks like a waffle, your screen melts, your alarm doesn't ring and you get sacked, then I can't be held responsible :)

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Features of KeiCS Kernel

From v2 and onwards (v1 included, v1 was for internal testing):

Added several CPU frequency scaling governors:

Already in kernel:

performance

interactive

powersave

userspace

ondemand

conservative​

Added into kernel:

interactiveX

smartass

smartassV2

SavagedZen

Scary

minmax

smoothass

brazillianwax

lagfree​

Added and updated zRam (configurable in your ROMs settings.

Updated headers for working hw decoding on AOSP ROMs using qcom omx.

Added 2 way call recording (FreeXperia).

Interactive governor is default.

Enabled data encryption support in kernel.

Updated kernel to 2.6.32.59 over our older 2.6.32.9 sony sources.

Cap CPU frequencies on boot - no 1.6GHz spikes at all (DooMLoRD)

Fixed "reboot recovery", which fixes ROM Manager support and the reboot option in the power menu
​
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Installation Instructions

First of all, you need fastboot set up, this is something that there are plenty of tutorials set up for and so I am not going to go through the process of setting up fastboot.

Step 1:

Hold the search button on your phone while connecting it to the computer. If all goes well, you are in fastboot mode and the LED on the top of your phone (power switch) should be blue.​

Step 2:

Unless you have fastboot set up in your PATH variable, you will have to place the file into the same folder as your fastboot folder. Open a terminal/command prompt and cd into the folder the kernel is located.​

Step 3:

Now, in the terminal/cmd type, replace boot with the name of the file:

fastboot flash boot <boot>.img
fastboot reboot

If that does not flash the kernel and take you to the Sony splash screen try:

fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot <boot>.img
fastboot -i 0x0fce reboot

Getting into the recovery:

Method 1:

When booting up the phone, a blue LED will turn on on the top of the phone, when this happens press the back button, you only need to press it once. You will end up in recovery.​

Method 2:

In a terminal emulator do:

su
reboot recovery

and your phone will automatically boot into recovery.​

Wow :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Is this kernel for all ics roms then?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Apart from the Sony ones, as stated this one is for AOSP roms, or ones which are using quallcom omx hw decoder. CM/AOKP and PlAyOSP can use this kernel (although I probably won't update PlAyOSP, too much work).

Kernel work now has become my priority, I can build over an existing build in 20s for a kernel, for a ROM it can take up to two hours, and testing a ROM takes the socks when it takes 2 hours for each testing cycle :P

Okay, so on CM9, you'll go into your settings menu, then click on Performance. It's in Memory management. Click on zRam, then you'll be able to pick what level you want, either 10, 18, or 26%. I'm guessing that's the compression amount, but I'm not sure.
