RE: XDA Car kit supplied by O2 in the UK.

This is a long shot.

My company has supplied O2 XDA(1) and O2 Car kit. I would like to add SAT NAV. Problem is I cannot find out what the RS232 pinouts are on the car kit wiring loom. Apparently the people who manafactured the car kit did/would not make an RS232 cable???? I am reliably informed that "a cable" might be produced next year! The car kit wiring loom has a spare, flat 8 pin connector which I am assured carries the RS232 signals however this source of info would/could not give me the pinouts. Buzzing this connector out with the XDA socket on the cradle, due to the close proximity of pins, is not an easy task for someone as optically challenged as myself plus I've got hands like meat hooks. This 8 pin connector is not one that I would expect to see for this type of job. It is similar to the type of connector found in PC's for connecting serial "D types" to the motherboard although is only one row of pins/sockets.

I know all this is pretty vague but I am an optimist.

"May your XDA remain stable"

Stumbled on a post about how folks are loving Logitech keyboards and how simple it was to hook up and use. OF COURSE I had to take the hard route and try to use a keyboard that I had not used in a while that was not synced / paired to the unifier. When plugged in the unifier is recognized by my A500 but it just did not dawn on me that my keyboard was not paired with the unifier.

Unifier usb - it stores which devices are paired and (at least for me) pairing is done with the computer. Plug in the unifier to a computer and pair using the unifying software that comes with the keyboard and mouse. I can't recall if out of the box unifier and keyboard/mouse are paired. When I changed keyboards, I retained the previous unifier and stored the new with the old keyboard.

Unplug the unifier from the computer and plug into your Acer. It is recognized as a physical keyboard and you are off and typing, mousing, etc.

Just sharing for those who may have struggled like me :) I am using the K400 but also tested with a K330.To my knowledge and reading other forums many LT keyboards and mice should work.

Hello, I know, on XDA is a lot of topics with this problem but I didn't find any solution there.

Some days ago I flashed my device to stock ROM 4.1.2 [XEO]. Of course, I made full wipe before flash and I didn't root my device.

I installed apps which I use and problem is here. I read, Viber is draining battery, so I went to settings of Viber and checked "Use System Sounds" and disabled vibrate when somebody sends me a message.

In android settings I disabled system sounds and vibrate too.

List of my apps:

AirDroid
Any.DO
Apex Launcher
BetterBatteryStats
Business Calendar
Cerberus
Dolphin Browser
Dropbox
Dropsync
EZ File Browser
Facebook
Feedly
Keep
Messenger (Facebook)
MX Player
PicsArt
SMS Backup & Restore
SoundHound
Swapps
Tapatalk
Tasker
Tinylight
Twitter
Viber
Waze
WeatherPro
WidgetLocker
Zooper Widget Pro

At night, tasker turns my device to airplane mode from 03:00 - 07:30.

Battery is really important for me so I will be really very thankful if somebody helps me to fix my problem with drain.

Here is BetterBatteryStats screen:

Look in da guide in mah sig.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
Thank you for your answer.

Tip 1:

- doesn't work for me. I wrote to CurrentWidget support. They tell me, problem is with Samsung devices (still shows 0mA)

Tip 2:

- have all disabled / enabled

So I found, I must close all aps before I lock my device or use Advanced Task Killer. I read a lot of articles and they don't recommend use 3rd task killers apps and auto-killing is bad for android. So I don't know what I can do now.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Bs. If you configure it to automatically kill all apps at screen off then nothing is gonna go wrong. I have set it up and everything is good here. Also use greenify to stop apps from running in the background that you don't want.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
I just uninstalled Viber, hope, it will fix my problem. / installed Whatsapp
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therockk:
I had this issue, i downloaded installed and ran "Rescan Media Root" from the Google Play Store. Problem solved. Without having to uninstall Whatsapp or Viber etc.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
Thanks but I don't have rooted device. Btw still have AudioOut_2 problem.. BetterBatteryStats shows me 15 minutes of AudioOut_2 now..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Dawg Down:
It is not Viber, despite what many people say on numerous threads.

I uninstalled Viber and the problem is still there.

To this day no one knows what the cause is. There have been many suggestions but no definite answer.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

And to make it more difficult to solve, it looks like it's completely random.

I hate this kind of problems, the intermittent ones...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
It is due to any app that uses audio. To shortlist it is generally in apps that use audio and continue running in background.

The only solution is to kill all apps before letting it sleep.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
Thank you for all replies. Hmmm today I get good stats of battery and AudioOut_2. I don't understand :o
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hameerabbasi:
I can personally confirm that both Viber and Skype (when signed in) cause this wakelock. Also, this wakelock appears regardless of whether you turn off your screen. Play 15 minutes of audio with the screen on, you get this wakelock. Play a game, kill the process, you get this wakelock. It occurs even if you're using the phone, not only during screen off.

Edit: What I meant to say was, Viber and Skype cause this wakelock during screen off time.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Please explain to us what a wakelock is...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
Some hours ago I sent some messages via fb messenger and whatsapp, read some topics in tapatalk and read rss via feedly. AudioOut_2 is high again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hameerabbasi:
Basically an instruction to the CPU that stops it going to deep sleep. But try what I said, set a custom reference in Better Battery Stats, play music for 15 minutes while using the phone. You will get 15 minutes of AudioOut_2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antt00:
I have the same findings as you. Get lots of AudioOut_2 wakelock but it actually corresponds to the time i spend playing games with sound on (which obviously happens when screen is on). And even with high amount of this wakelock, i still get my normally great battery life. Hence i conclude this wakelock is wrongly captured, at least for me. :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Dawg Down:
Getting high audioout_2 while playing music or games or anything else which produces sound is of course normal, it's common sense.

The problem is when you have 8 hours of awake time when you're sleeping due to audioout_2. My battery went down by 11% overnight because of this.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
So you want your cpu to go into deep sleep while you are using it?

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

Just configure advanced task killer and greenify. That's all you'll need.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
Hello UtkarshGupta,

so I tried to install Advanced Task Killer and here is my setup:

In settings I checked Ignore service, fron app

Auto Kill Level: Crazy

Auto Kill Frequency: When screen off

I created recommend ignore list and add some apps but I don't know if I can kill for example Clock too.

BTW I see S Suggest and S Voice are runned. I don't know why, coz' I didn't start these apps.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
I don't have any ignore list. In fact I deleted the ones which were pre configured. I don't have any issues.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
but i.e. I'm using WidgetLocker or Apex Launcher. If I kill one of these apps, it will be not a good solution.. hm? :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
You shouldn't be killing every app constantly, then you could might as well do with 256 mb ram. Unused ram is wasted ram.

Wakelocks are a natural function of android, to allow some apps to sync and schedule various things. It's only when they take up a large amount of the phone's uptime one should start to concern.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarionCast:
It's such a disgrace to use a Task Killer on the Note 2. Come on. We have 2GB of RAM, not 256MB. Give the phone some respect...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
They'll reload.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

It's about audio out wakelock. It's not about emptying ram.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

The apps which require background sync would be reloaded as well. They naturally don't use audio so non of our concern.

If you are so concerned just kill all apps manually and free ram if that suits you. Task killers like this are just too ease the task.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bivas:
Don't know...I had the issue after updating to Jelly Bean on my N7000. Factory reset & Sd Card Formatting didn't help. However, I found that my phone was constantly in a 200MHz state and AudioOut_2 was the culprit. After uninstalling Viber, the phone started going into Deep sleep and problem solved.

When I contacted Viber support, I got an answer that it is a known issue on some phones and they will fix it soon.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
Today I checked my battery stats and they are perfect! I think, AudioOut_2 is high but it's only detail ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myaslioglu:
Do not use autokill.. that will drain your battery even more..

Audio wakelocks dont drain much.. however check eq or kernel audio drivers. But it is mostly rom related.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
And why is that Monseigneur?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
I don't use any 3rd task killer.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myaslioglu:
Because appkiller constantly kling system apps or oom setting to keep memory high will most possibly end up kill-relaunch loop. For those who spends time to find optimum level to keep memory or apps to kill that wont relaunch (mostly user apps), may give some perks. But just installing an autokiller and letting it to kill frenzy or setting oom to very high will cause drain rather than saving.

Killing user apps which are not optimized to get inactive in the background should be killed thats correct. But i would suggest to do it manually.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
It just does it once at screen off.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myaslioglu:
Well i think i misexpressed myself.

What i meant was for instance killing syscope or launcher etc (just examples) will end up in relaunching. So this will cause unnecessary loop. Thay may not be your case cuz you may have optimized it perfectly.. however this wont be the case for every unexperienced user..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
I just have configured to kill all apps at screen off.

Please don't miss guide others.

I have just 1% drain after about like 10 hours.

So I see no reason to not use it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alucard291:
Yes please stop misguiding people into using 3rd party app killers.

Android has long been designed to keep apps in ram cached to speed up loading (thus fewer cpu cycles - thus lower battery drain overall)

Yes if all that matters to you is maximum standby time then killing cached apps (there is still a better way to do that than using 3rd part app killers) is the way forth. But most people have phones and tablets so that they can use them. There are better solutions out there if u want a week long standby from a phone.

So yes it would be nice if you could stop advertising something that people shouldn't be using since Gingerbread...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BratPAQ:
Make sure you close sound related apps completely and not just minimized it.

This happens to me if a leave a game or music player minimized in the background

In the JB 4.1.2 i've noticed that I have a huge battery drain sometimes, I found researching with BBS, that the source is the infamous Audioout_2 partial wakelock.

In the foruns many things are said, but no one knows for sure the cause.

I think I have found the cause, that is, when an app that uses the headset, crashes and consequently not close the resource, or is bad programmed and do not close the resource properly, and the Audioout_2 resource stays forever open.

The only option now is to reboot the phone. I want something better.

My question is: There's a way to kill or clean audioout_2 somehow? Using a terminal, or an app?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
You can use greenify to fix the apps that cause wakelocks, but not directly prevent or remove the wakelock itself.

audio out wakelock

i had bad times for a week or so with partial wakelock , i solved my problem by accident by simply opening music playing for a bit then ending the app properly as in pressing menu and selecting close app . not had it since .

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tindoshox:
That worked for me too. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Same here.

I tested with wakelock detector, and with screen lock sound enabled the audioout_2 wakelock count increased by 1 and wakelock time increased about 8 seconds. Then switched off lock sounds and it all disappeared.

If you plug in headphones you can hear a hissing sound for a few seconds after the lock / unlock sound. That causes the wakelock. Not sure how much battery this actually uses anyway but will leave lock sounds off for now.

Edit: played a YouTube video and the wakelock increased by that amount of time. Seriously think this wakelock is just reported incorrectly as my phone was awake. Not going to worry about it.

Reboot to bootloader, all fastboot command work fine (this thing is what make me believe my microUSB port doesn't die). So I flash stock 4.2.2 with Gnex toolkit.

Now the phone charge, adb and mtp work fine when I connect it with PC, and with wall charger nothing happen when plug it in. I did try some charger, it's same, still not charging.

Please help!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markzip:
There have been issues with the MicroUSB port in some Galaxy Nexus phones. I know this because I was involved with a thread over on the Android project forums having to do with very strange issues of the screen coming on all the time. The discussion is here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39625

We finally seem to have resolved the issue by very gently bending the tiny pins inside the phone's MicroUSB port upwards towards the screen.

You have not mentioned the same issue, but I can imagine that all sorts of strange activity could be attributed to a faulty MicroUSB port. You should have a look at comment number 161 in that thread and think about trying that. Be very careful! Be very gentle. If you break it, it;s not our fault! ;=)
