I use the Battery Circle app from play on my Stock ICS XT910, it shows the battery life in increments of 1 and also has a summary of how long the battery has lasted.
[HTC One V] chevymeister:
So after de sensing it and getting vanilla apps, I noticed some HTC things remain like hub, friend stream, and messaging.

I've tried clearing data and such, also disabling HTC messaging centers notifications but I still get duplicate messages from people in both messaging apps. Anyway I can safely remove the htc junk without ruining my rom? :) Thanks.
[HTC One V] jetfactor:
Yeah... I would think with root and removing the HTC junk your rom would still work fine.
[HTC One V] hlavicka82:
It's becouse the tool does not remove HTC messaging app. You can go to Settings-> Applications -> and there disable that application (freeze it)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fipo:
Hi everyone. My friends Desire seems to be completely dead. What we did:

- we s-offed desire with revolutionary

- we tried several ROMs with no problem

- the last ROM was the Sandvold ICS ROM

- in one day desire doesn't response - whatever you do it ends up in bootloader. Problem is, that we cannot use volume up and down to enter recovery or fastboot. We also wanted to reflash hboot by renaming it to PMG... with no success. It recognized the file in SD card and showed only - "PARSING" for more than half an hour. And nothing else. After taking battery out and power on again it shows only following:

- REVOLUTIONARY-

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.17.05.23

Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18

It seems that the phone has broken navigation arrows (hardware) or something, because you cannot do nothing - if you want to power off the phone, you must take the battery out.

Do you have any idea what we can try? (I also made a golcard and I have working ADB - if necessary).

Many thanks for any reply.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
It would seem the phone is hanging in bootloader which is not a very good sign. Some suggestions:-

- Let the phone cool down and try booting.

- Pull battery, start phone with back+power to go directly to fastboot. If it enters fastboot mode this way then there is hope.

- What hboot was in PB99IMG.zip? Was the md5 ok ? With hboot and radio there are no second chances. Did the problems occur after this procedure or before.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fipo:
Thanks for quick answer. Unfortunately, phone didn't boot into fastboot after pressing BACK+POWER ... Yes, it was PB99IMG.zip. MD5 was for sure correct because I flashed this exact file several times before with success.

This problem occured before trying update hboot.

It looks like R.I.P. for Desire - isn't it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
The phone first boots the radio (modem processor) and thereafter the bootloader(hboot) (application pocessor). They both are the starting points. Without them booting successfully there is no easy access to the phone. Maybe somebody has got better suggestions.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
Yep work just fine but slower data.

Now as for unlocked I too used to think that meant it would work for any carrier but that is not true! U can only use on carriers that use the same frequency bands that the phone supports ie. 850/900/1800/2100, etc. Some carriers will use different bands that some phones don't have but if ur dealing with the major carrier ur OK it usually the smaller guys that use poorer or less common freq's that some phones don't use

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Chitown021:
Wasn't August 5th the date T-Mobile was supposed to stop the OTA push of that minor update? I'd be shocked if they'd turn around and release ICS that quickly. That being said I'd love to be proven wrong. Let er' rip T-Mobile!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Yeah... Since I got myself an S3, I've been debating trying to get the ICS kernel tree I was wokring on up and running on the phone. With ICS presumably on the horizon, I'm not sure I wanna spend more time on it.

It's an amalgam of the kernel code from the T769 GB sources worked into the T989 ICS sources. It builds, but hasn't booted yet. I've been meaning to try and boot it "PC" style with console output on the screen and everything to see what exactly is going on, but I've lost a bit of interest at this point :-/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] zorro2020:
MyTouch 4G Slide on Tmobile monthly plan running 2.3.4. No modifications. I am using a SIp program called VOX to make data calls on my data plan. When driving I wish to be able to make an outgoing call through Bluetooth with the Genius Button or a Handsfree App without touching my phone. With the Genius Button I can almost do this, but then a box pops-up giving me three choices: SIP, SIP [highlighted & registered], and Mobile. I have to manually choose the highlighted choice which is VOX. I wish to eliminate the box so that I do not have to touch my phone while driving. I believe my phone settings are correct. I have spent hours searching and talking to HTC, TMobile, and VOX. I do not wish to use Google Voice apps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Most likely you have to root the phone.

I have same problem with navigation: no matter how many times I set other map software as default, it always pops up with choices of Google Navigation, effing TeleNav junk (always highlighted as default) and other navigation progs when installed. regardless of me checking the box "set this as default", all of it will pop up again next time as if I have never checked the "set as default" box :( I guess its the same behaviour with your SIP progs.

From what I gathered, only rooting and removing the programs you

don't

want to use can fix this.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Synthetic.Nightmare:
I've noticed a constant fc problem with google's most recent app updates and wanted to give a bit of help for those who would like to stick to ICS, but couldn't really find a place to get older versions of the apps that are acting up. Feel free to post any other Youtube/Google Music workarounds/apk's you may be using on ICS (as they may be more up-to-date or have some other added benefit); as well as any others that may occur.

These might be old, but it has been CONFIRMED that they still work with ICS,

Google Play Music 4.1.513

Youtube (forgot which version it is though; care to help me remember?)

NEW apks-

Modified Google Play Music, Movies and YouTube apks (Be sure to read around a little)

I wanted to refrain from posting this, as I was hoping google would fix these things soon, but by the looks of it everything that was messed up is still screwed...

Also, I'd like to thank existz for all the time and effort he puts into fixing things for his users; which in turn allows me to bring some useful info here to our device section.

turned off every sensor, turn of flight mode.

overnight 10% ~15% battery loss.

most of the power is consumed by Android OS. other apps combined doesn't seem much.

the reason is that it is frequently awaken.

i don't know why the Android OS is awaken that often. there must be some hidden app who caused this.

how can i find out who is responsible for waking up Android OS?

I am using the latest version of Mjolnir and FXP, KeICS was just used as an example. I can't get into recovery to perform a wipe.

Re-read the instructions for the kernel your using you probably have to use a different button to get into recovery, like volume button or something. Doomkernel is back button

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
Hi guys,

I've been using Cyanogenmod 7, and it was going very slow. I decided to completely wipe the phone and SD card and start from scratch with Andromadus Mimicry ROM. It is much faster I find but I still get the random slowdowns.

My biggest problems seem to be with the Facebook app, it slows down the phone incredibly. even when you exit the app, unless you force close it, the whole phone goes to a crawl.

I also find even if I uninstall the facebook app, I get lots of random slowdowns, like random times during the day I'll go to read my SMS and it takes FOREVER to load (go sms app)

any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Are your partitions ext4? Did you debug and follow the steps in the Mimicry OP?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
4EXT is paid software eh? don't really want to pay for it if I can avoid it, any other way of checking??

Wheres the debug steps?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
4ext is a free custom recovery, there is an app similar to rom manager that is a paid app. if you don't want to support the developer for whatever reason your choice, but you can still flash the 4ext recoverey via fastboot or a pc10img

can you get a logcat? if your slowdowns are easily duplicated then plug phone into computer, and run a logcat through adb when you are experiancing this

*facebook apps is terrible* (so is facebook)

study the op of mimcry, search the threads for similar problems.

just an fyi - mimcry is one of the best ics roms for the vision and if you are having strange slowdowns then either a bug needs to be reported or you did something wrong

(didn't fully wipe, still in ext3, etc)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
thanks man, I tried android market and can only find a paid app called 4ext. I use clockworkmod recovery as thats what cyanogenmod 7 recommended, I have not activley done anything to setup ext4 though as there was nothing in mimcry instructions for this.

i cant easily duplicate the issue as it happens totally at random.

i fully wiped and reset to factory defaults before installing mimcry also
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
go into tsubus' ilwt cm7 thread, there you will find a link to superwipeg2+ext4, this will wipe all and change format of everything but sd card to ext4

don't check the market for custom recoveries, you go there for apps, look for the 4ext thread in the dev section or just google it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
okay thanks for your help! i got 4ext installed and checked info, so my system partition is ext4, data and cache are ext3... sd card is fat32

so I need to wipe and redo it with ext4 for all of them?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
all but sd card should be ext4

sd card should be fat32

sdext (if you have it) should be ext4

you're great help thanks heaps.

so now I've got 4ext and i ran superwipeg2+ext4, then reinstalled my mimcry rom, just reinstalling all my apps i want now, will see how it goes :)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Please read the FAQ in the Mimicry OP. You need to find the apps causing the slowdowns and either uninstall them or wipe their data if you're restoring app data from Titanium backup.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
I am having a very hard time finding which apps are causing this, and none were restored, all were installed totally fresh from market after fresh install of the ROM.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Install watchdog, or view wakelock use with betterbatterystats. Better yet, use logcat and grab a log of the slowdowns as they happen.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
Thanks, I am happy to get a log using logcat, do you have some basic instructions for me to do this? I already have android SDK installed, is it a matter of just running adb logcat and waiting or?

Sounds good man, just installed watchdog and will see how it goes :) thanks for your advice
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
strangely enough watchdog has not found a single problem yet even though my phone keeps slowing down every now and then, seems to be slightly less frequent now after all the apps have settled in I guess? still certainly doing it though :(

also one other issue I found is a program I use called AirDroid stops working properly through its web interface if the phone locks, which I didnt have this problem on CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhitz:
Mind if i but in, but this problem is discussed and handled well in the AOKP nik3rs rom EliteMod & EliteKernel ICS* (which I highley recommend!)

But Its seems one of the problems that can cause this is bcuz you some people still have there apps backed up from there GB rom with their account and switching to ICS rom will only install the GB forms of the app from the market its highley recommended to backup data from apps in Titanum, and Install all new apps to your account and then restore data from Titanium.

Also I have alsot noticed that in 4ext sometimes Superwipe isn't always the answer Try Using the "Format All (except SDCARD)" option in 4ext it seems to clear away alot more bugs then superwipe! hope that helps..

Also try elitemods dataswap and sdext patch if you stay on mimicry!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
Thanks man might have to give that ROM a try. And once again I fully wiped and loaded the ROM and I installed each application freshly from the google play store. nothing was backed up or restored so thats not the problem
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhitz:
Maybe I should have been more clear in my last post, Are you using SD-EXT? or data swap? and The way I have to flash is sometimes is after dalvike/cache ofcourse

1- Factory/data reset

2.-Then apply the zip superwipe (let it reboot)

3.-Then apply the FORMAT ALL EXCEPT SDCARD option in 4ext

....and just to note you are mounting everything before you wipe right?

Hope this can help.

And if not I would again highly recommend the EliteMod Rom its the best!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
Oh man it keeps getting worse and worse, watchdog has not even presented one error apart from facebook. somethings wrong with that mimcri ROM i'm going to try another. I love the features but the performance is terrible.
