[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WayneSmith:
So, SurfaceFlinger in Android is what actually puts together the different screens and surfaces, using OpenGL (the GPU).

Hardware Composer (HWC) is a little module that plugs into SurfaceFlinger, and helps offload some of the surface compositing onto specialized display hardware. Usually this is just a 2D GPU, but sometimes graphics parts have special "overlay" planes that can be used, instead. This lightens the GPU load in several ways, potentially improving performance.

It's been present since Honeycomb, but the API is updated once in a while to support more features. The [Android Sync infrastructure] was added in JB MR1, and requires a whole bunch of new APIs to be implemented for this explicit synchronization. It also relies on some Linux kernel APIs which are only present in v3.4+.

Hi everyone,

Since this morning I'm having a small issue with my phone's battery details. All it's showing is Android OS, with 100% usage. I've rebooted the phone and it remains the same. Here's the screenshot of the situation:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeofbean:
If I use the camera and have the flash on, and the battery is less than about 75% charged, the phone shuts off and won't turn back on until I pull the battery.

Often, when the phone powers back up after this, it shows the battery is almost dead, or at least significantly lower than before - I've seen it go from 70% to 15% a few times after this. It's done this with every ROM I've had, including stock Gingerbread and ICS, but it used to only do it if the battery was close to dead. Now I pretty much can't use the flash unless it's fresh off the charger or plugged in.

I'm thinking the battery is shot, would I be correct in this assumption? If so, can I use any Nexus S battery, or do I need to use a 4G specific battery? It's the Sprint 4G model.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeofbean:
If anyone cares, I got a new battery. Camera now works reliably, and I now get more than 6-8 hours out of a charge. Snagged the Anker 1600 mAh battery from Amazon.

While I was out today (about 3 hours), 4G was on, and I had music streaming as well. Running JellyBean (CM10 Experimental) with Air Kernel @ 1.2 GHz.

Think it's safe to say my battery was shot - it was a Sprint-branded battery that came with the phone, but I got it used, and the person I got it from last year got it as a refurb.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
When was the last time u reset battery stats in the old battery since its supposed to be done at least every time u flash a new ROM or if in same ROM for some time do it about once each month....

And what ROM where u using and what camera ..... stock or market APP?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeofbean:
One of the Google developers came out awhile back and stated there's no reason to reset battery stats, ever. TWRP 2.2 doesn't even have the option anymore. Plus the phone kept powering off when I'd use the flash on the old battery.

I'm using Burns' CM10 Experimental (8/6) with Air Kernel, but I've had this issue with every rom, including stock (as stated in the OP). Problem happened with stock camera app and every 3rd party camera app, also happened if I used the LED as a flashlight. When it's happening across multiple ROMs, I think it's a safe bet to say it's a hardware problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeofbean:
The phone was a refurb that I bought used, and came with a Sprint-branded battery when I bought it. But yeah, I was basically asking someone to verify what I was thinking - which you just did.

Here's the battery it came with:

Anyway, several days on the Anker battery now, and no complaints at all. Battery life is easily tripled, though this screenshot was taken with me sitting on wifi all day. It seems to hit 70-80% about when the old battery would die. Remember I'm running an early experimental build of CM10, with a mild overclock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
So i've got this setup where i've created a second calendar on my Google account called "The Fridge Calendar" that i shared with my wife. It's the official replacement for the physical one and makes things really nice for planning stuff on the fly, (i can instantly see what i'm on the hook for)

items don't show up on the calendar, and when i go to create an item, i can only select to put it on my Google calendar (primary), the secondary calendar isn't there as an option. on my old Froyo phone it was there int he drop list and i could just pick it from there to put on the "official" fridge calendar to let my wife know i'd made plans.

how can i make this thing show up on this phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
You added the calendars, via Settings => Add Calendars... And you have multiple calendars, versus a single consolidated calendar with all entries. Is this the issue? Please validate and clarify, thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
correct (see below)

and i have a correction to make, my calendar

is not

showing items off that calendar. i'd swear that it had been previously but there something on there for tomorrow afternoon and it doesn't appear on the phone. like i said, this all worked like a charm on my old Froyo device. Granted when i first set this calendar up i had to clear the data on the calendar app to make it show up on the phone, but that was because it was new. this was all pre-existing when i got the LTEvo. it's as though it just doesn't even know that it's there. wouldn't think they'd deprecate such a feature in ICS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
answered my own question. somehow it was the same as on my transform. even though the calendar was pre-existing. I went under "calendar storage" in apps and cleared data and the calendar showed up. of course doing that jacked up my widget and exchange connection. so i just removed my exchange account and re-added.

case closed.

[Desire HD General] rdhaan:
Hello all,

After trying much with AAHK and read many many posts I still unfortunalty cannot find the right answer.

I'll explain the situation.

I have a DHD from Vodafone NL (with is the UK ROM) version 3.13.161.3 and wanted to root (for ICS).

I'vew downloaded the newest AAHK and linked the phone. So far so good.

When running the AAHK it wanted to downgrade (abvious, no problem). The it downloaded the PD98IMG-GB4.zip.

Put it on my SD card and rebooted. Then I got the revocery image with the red triangle... So, choose option 2 to try something else.

Finally it booted in HBoot, it read the image and wanted to convert to that. But, mu volume + is broken, so i cannot confirm this :(

So, i've tried the other suggestion of downloading a stock RRU with the right version.

This want to upload the rom, but it stall is the 'sending'mode. If i look in the RUU log it 'hangs' on the command

'fastboot -s <deviceid> flash zip <pathtozip>,rom.zip. I waited for 1 hour, then killed it. On the screen of the phone you should see a progress

bar, but on my screne only the HTC logo, nothing else :(

I also tried replacing the rom.zip just before sending with the .zip downloaded by aahk.

Then even tried flashing myserf with HBoot in 'fastboot USB'mode, but if keeps giving 'flashing error' or something.

My radio is still S-on, so that might be a problem??

I even tried with the HTCDev method, got a RUU from there, but even that hangs on the fastboot command.

So it seems i'm stuck....

Anyone else has a export advice for a novice like me?

Thanks,

Rene
[Desire HD General] azrael97c:
try putting the PD98IMG-GB4.zip file you have in the PD98IMG directory in aahk, when you run the aahk script it will check that directory when it prompts for a downgrade. if it finds the correct file, it will try to use that. if not, it will download.
[Desire HD General] rdhaan:
The PD98IMG-GB4.zip in that dir was downloaded by AAHK, so it can find it and it does.

It even put it om my SD card, after which i was stuck because the volume + button doesn't work...

But thanks anyway.
[Desire HD General] azrael97c:
What's option 2?

I guess you didn't finish this part of the aahk script properly since your volume button is broke:

When I was messing with somebody else's DHD I did try manually flashing the PD98IMG.ZIP that aahk downloaded and i always get a bad image error or something. Only when I did as instructed by the aahk script was I able to root the DHD successfully.
[Desire HD General] rdhaan:
I meant the menu option. But that is from your list: I got 1: The ugly red triangle.

However, i cannot try the vomule up and push power, since that button is broken :(

I just tried a reflash of HBoot with option S, menu entry 5, but even that will not work. Keeps hanging while flashing...
[Desire HD General] rdhaan:
Ah,

In another trhead found the answer how to flash a RUU for command line.

Tried it, and this worked.... Now running the hack-ace command again, and it is working.

So now waiting for root.
[Desire HD General] rdhaan:
So, it is rooted.

Tried some ROMs, but all of them have 1 problem: 'No service'.

So, i tried the stock HTC rom, but even that says 'No service'.

Therefore, i cannot dial anymore :(:(

Even tried another SIM, but 'no networks available'.

The strange thing is: I get the 'MMS' APN pushed from the Vodafone NL network, so it seems to have some sort of connection...

What could be wrong?

Edit: seems the switching works, because the ROM (virtuous infinity 1.13.0-aplha2) warned about switching SIMs.

After reselecting my Vodafone NL i now got network and can dial again. So it seems it hat to 'settle'for a few more minutes...

I want to return back to stock ROM, but i am unable to find my SKU from AKOP settings. Sorry for the noob question.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
So is your question what SKU/firmware was installed on your device when you first bought it? It really won't matter, just flash the latest version that is appropriate for your region. I.e., if you live in the US, flash the US firmware, if you live in Japan, flash JP, WW is worldwide I believe, etc. My tablet came with .29US and I flashed the .30US when I had to return to stock, but if you have an unlocked bootloader you won't receive OTA updates so it doesn't matter what version you flash.

I'm not an expert so take everything I say with a grain of salt and wait for a response from a more senior member to confirm what I've said, though :P

Streaming from Windows & Ubuntu

I use "Emit" to stream downloaded movies from my Windows box. I was so pleased with the free version, I bought the adfree version for less tham £3.

I have to say that this is the only video streaming app I tried so the other recommendations here may be better but I was blown away when, while being driven up the M11 at 80mph, I tethered to my ageing HTC Desire and streamed a movie from my Win7 machine back at home. (Admittedly, I only ran the movie briefly as a test, so it may glitch after some time). Also a tethered demo to some mates in the pub last night worked flawlessly.

It goes without saying that wifi streaming also works perfectly.

Another slightly different streaming use: Additional to the above Windows machine, I have an Ubuntu machine running MythTV+Apache+Mythweb which I use as my PVR (Personal Video Recorder). I found that when using the Maxthon browser on the Nexus 7, I was able to browse to the Mythweb page generated by my MythTV box and click on the "Direct Download" option of one of my recorded programs. It then offered me the option of "Download" or "Play". (It's worth noting here that neither Chrome or Firefox offered this choice - they just began downloading the recording) If I select "Play" and then select the MX Player, the recorded program begins streaming perfectly. :D

Hope this helps

I think the coolest option for me was setting up a subsonic server on my home PC, and using the android subsonic app to stream or download music and pretty much any video type either at home or with a little port forwarding, anywhere you have a decent internet connection. It is capable of transcoding on the fly, and I have been able to stream h264+ blue ray rips over 4g on my T-Mobile sgs2. You can choose what bit rate to stream at. Right now it uses flash but they are working on changing that.. in the meantime I have installed flash 11 and Firefox beta on my nexus 7 and stream my movies that way through the subsonic app.
