[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.cid:
I have an answer which you might find interesting...

I was testing a custom rom, which had a lot of users complaining and incessantly whining about "battery drain"...

But I never felt any such drain...

We were actually surprised that, users had their battery percentages "drain" from 100 to 60 in 4 hours (they used batt %), after which they charged their phone...

I, on the other hand, didn't take notice of the battery step (present in the stock icon)...

I used to charge my phone after 10 hours with around 10% batt left...

I then asked another fellow user to use stock batt icon, rather than the % icon...

And miraculously, his battery drain was minimized...(by just changing a damned icon)...same confirmed with a few others...

So we could conclude that, the battery drain was happening due to the % icon, and used to vanish/minimize when using the stock icon...

Hence, it was attributed to a placebo effect...

You thought that battery was draining because the numbers between 1 - 100 are going down...while the stock icon ignores battery movement lesser than 10%...

It isn't anything other than your mind telling you that battery is going down...

I do not know the "official" reason why it never made it to stock android...

But if you are willing, just try it out...

Without changing your daily usage and apps, spend a few days with the stock icon, and then a few days with the % icon...

The result, still might be really subjective, but well, this is what I could find...

Yap... some months ago eard something quiet similar to this state...

a guy postet that he installed an battery widget from the play store

after a while he had big problems because his battery was gettin empty very fast

so one other guy told him to look under settings in the battery context menu wich were his biggest battery drainers

and who could have imagined this on top was the battery widget

after he unsinstalled the widget his problems were vanished

so guys

accept that u have a battery without percentage but a battery drain in a size where u cant watch the amount of battery power percentage falling from one second to the other

so please accept it ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.cid:
No, I never used a batt widget...

There was option to have either % icon, or the stock one, baked into the rom itself...

So there wasn't any battery drain related to rogue apps...

Hi dont know if this has been posted before as i have only just been on here but i was wondering if anyone knew of any dr who themes apps and if there were someplace i could get a dr who bott ani that is full screen with sound and that doesnt cut off in the middle like the one from rtom toolbox does. i have tried making one but it only stays small size and no sound. i have an S off htc amaze with supersayan 3 rom

any and all help would be highly apprecioated

scuze they typos, but im am in traction from having fractured 3 vetabrae so typing is kinda painful
[HTC Amaze 4G] RavenWulf:
being a fellow Whovian... here a couple of things to get ya started... LWP of the T.A.R.D.I.S. tumbling through the vortex, and boot ani's for Doctors 4, 10, and 11. if you scroll down towards the bottom of the first page of the Boot Ani thread you'll find a .zip with the theme music and the T.A.R.D.I.S. engine .mp3

EDIT: for the boot ani to be fullscreen you will need to change the resolution within the .zip
[HTC Amaze 4G] ncaruso:
thanks

Thanks for the reply. sorry took me so long been having back issues.

the LWP is really cool, thanks for that, as for the boot ani's, had already seen them, cant seem to get sound to work and no matter how i change the resolution or actuall image size still plays as a small 1"x1" on my screen and freezes. Ill keep looking or try to see if i can actually create one myself

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tushantin:
Hello! I have the strangest problem, and wondered if someone could help.

I received a present from a friend, a second-hand HTC Desire GSM, but it didn't have stock Android and was running on a custom ROM installed on the SDCard. I wanted to install CyanogenMod on the phone itself (not the SD Card) and tried to with the phone by reading up details online. This is my first time with an Android phone, and I'm not sure what I did, but now I'm unable to boot into Hboot recovery.

I think the problem began when I installed the file "RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865" from a certain website, and ever since I can't seem to flash the phone with another RUU. Can someone please help me make the phone usable again? I'll post the details below based on what I could find as of recent:

AlphaRev Oxygen r2

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1882

M1CROP-831D

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
You are SOFF.

Follow these steps in sequence

1. Get the stock hboot from alpharev.nl and flash it from fastboot

2. Get the 2.3 RUU from htcdev and run it from PC with phone connected with USB

3. Flash the 4ext recovery from fastboot.

4. Flash any custom rooted rom from recovery
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
Please stop telling people to flash stock hboot over every other custom hboot, cause most of the time thet will succed but eventualy someone will end up with hboot brick. It is recommended to flash downgrade hboot prior flashing any other.

In his case he doesn't need to run RUU, he is s-off so all he needs is a different hboot (oxygen has a lack of space on system partition), 4ext img from Jmcclue's thread that can both be flashed via fastboot and then a personal choice of rom.

Sent from my GT-P3100 using Flashes and Thunders
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
I dont recall telling people to flash stock hboot before this. I had noticed that he has got a oxygen r2 hboot. It is perfectly safe to flash the alpharev stock hboot over this. I would only use the downgrader to remove write protection from my hboot so that when I run the RUU I get SON.

The OP also stated that he is not sure what he has done so I would run the 2.3 RUU just so that he can work from known territory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
hes S-OFF with no recovery and has CM rom on sdcard soo like nloooo says flash recovery and then he can flash the rom on sdcard after a full wipe (if it fits on Oxygen r2 hboot) or change hboots and flash new rom if he wants

Hi all

I have a problem with the sound on my phone...

It happens randomly where i'll try to view a youtube vid and there will be no sound.

I will restart the phone and try to view the same video on youtube and it will work. Same thing happens with the game "Scramble" and even when playing music in Winamp.

Everytime i reboot the phone, the problem will go away until the next time it does it.

It gets very frustrating have to restart my phone as you can imagine.

Can somebody please help???

Thanks in advance

672.180.41.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU its the update we took in Greece. I wiped before and after the update, both cache and data.

Many users and me today , experienced the "no sound" bug. Going to settings and using the same or other ringtone brought the sound back. Is this a common bug in ics or it is just our version? I can't pinpoint the trigger of the bug yet.

I'm hoping more for an update for bugs on ics than jb(NOT jailbreak :laugh:).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] eksasol:
Hi. I want to know if its possible to unlock the Xperia mini's bootloader through Sony official website if the device is carrier locked? The reason I'm asking because I have the Xperia Play and it is not possible unless you have the international version (unless you use third party unlocking method).

Also does anyone find it funny on the unlocking instruction page Sony literally mentioned:

I generally am not fond of Sony products due to forcing their proprietaries, but their atleast mobile division is not so draconian.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Are you sure about this one?

Anyways, no, you can't. You'll have to pay for some sort of carrier unlock service. Then (and only then) you'll be able to unlock your bootloader.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] lexsupa:
You should flash from clean stock GB (mine is UXKG3) to ICS (mine CM9) and then Slim Bean

If the problem is still there, there could probably something wrong with your IMEI, check infuse 4g general forum, I think there is solution for that there

Hope it can help ^^
[Samsung Infuse 4G] g.corro96:
yeah I did go back to stock gb now I'm on remics do you think it will matter if I'm on cm9 or not?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lexsupa:
I think it doesn't matter. just take a shot. In CWM recovery, you should wipe data/cache/dalvik and go to mount and storage then format data/cache/system before flashing Slim Bean ^^
[Samsung Infuse 4G] g.corro96:
Ok when the time comes to flash I will do so. Hopefully to get it working because SlimICS was great and know I want Slim Bean.

Thanks for your help
