[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
Love this thing. Have had it since the Otterbox Defender case fell apart after less than a half a year; there's more than 10 months of bad use on the Ballistic case, or, enough to destroy 2 Otterbox Defender cases.

In the first week i used this case i dropped the fone six times onto tile and other hard hospital floors from hospital counter height. Observation: It bounces quite well.

It was an ill coordinated week. Fone was completely unscratched from all that abuse, and has remained unscratched ever since it's been in this case. It's suffered a whole lot more abuse since then. i drop stuff. You don't want me around your best china.

It's a two piece black case. Silicone case with huge corner bumpers around the fone, then a two-layer hard shell over the silicone. Buttons are protected tho connectors are not. Doesn't come with a screen protector. i have on a nice, squidgy one, can't remember the name.

In the hand the encased fone is big and bulky with a very nice, non slippy grip that's augmented by the big corner bumper protrusions: the bumpers help a lot in fone handling. When one is holding and using it there's no thot at all that it'll ever slip out of one's hand.

So those are the upsides. Fantastic protection (except for the exposed ports), survivability and safe, ergonomic handling.

Downsides are, it's super geeky. It's not a fashion item hand crafted out of the finest rare polished hardwoods trimmed with inlaid silver accents. It's black, non-slip, lumpy in the corners like speech balloons in a comic strip, and it's styled to fit into your kit next to the remote launch control for Thunderbird 3.

The materials this case's made from are very good quality, much better than what the Otterbox Defender was made of. After a year of constant use the silicone inner case is beginning to get stretchy and gummy like they all do, but i've used it so much all the corners and all the buttons have worn shiny, and the sides of the hard outer shell as well. Since i mess with the fone a lot i crash it all the time and keep having to take the case off to remove and put back the battery, and it's survived all that ill use fine.

It's fine in sub zero winter use, past the point where the touch screen goes flakey.

The big, non-slip silicone corners does mean it'll drag a bit going in and out of the pocket. Could be maddening, but i'm fine with it since my habit is to drop it on the ground after it leaves my pocket, and that's the part where this case shows its mettle.

Hi,

I would post this in the synergy rom thread but it wont let me post there. In the battery stats it says that android system is using 27% and android os is using 14% with screen at 12%. Since i installed the latest release it has been doing this and i have been getting terrible battery life. Lasts maybe 8 hours with minimal use ( screen off sitting in a drawer while im at work). There was one post in the thread about it but it just got ignored. Is anyone else having this problem. I did a superwipe before i installed the newest rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Post your BBS dump to file txt as an attachment that includes high Android OS drain. Need to see if your phone is being kept awake. Sometimes there isn't anything that really sticks out and I find just rebooting helps reduce that as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rbonja1:
I dont have bbs, i was looking at it just before you replied so i bought it just now and will let the battery drain for a bit then post it thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Oh, I definitely misinterpreted your post. Make sure to give BBS at least four to eight hours before posting that txt file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrewBot:
My Android system is acting the same on SynergyRom, but my battery life is great. Maybe this is not the cause of your battery drain? Have you flashed the latest files from the most recent update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rbonja1:
I have the newest version installed r484 i didnt flash any additional files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrewBot:
If you recieved the latest OTA from Verizon then you wouldn't need to. If you didn't you should update your modem and RPM. I know links to each file are in the addons section of the jellybeans rom. RPM has a lot to do with battery life from what I understand. These files are not rom specific and a pulled straight from the ota.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rbonja1:
I dont think i got the latest ota from verizon, i cant seem to find the modem or rpm anywhere

edit: i found them but i dont know what ones to download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrewBot:
Go to the jellybeans rom post on the Android development section for the Verizon Galaxy s 3. Scroll down to the second post and you will see the links under addons. There is only one link for each and it is the latest update.

I can also report changing to zeus kernel has stopped the excessive Android system use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rbonja1:
here is the bbs text file. I installed the modem and rpm and it is still the same problem. I think i already had the modem and rpm installed because i tried to install the latest update from verizon but it kept saying it failed but i read somewhere that it does that to rooted phones but still installs. Been rel busy with work thats why i havent stayed up to date on this post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Check your modem version under settings / about phone

you need to have VRBMB1 modem.

If not then you need to update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rbonja1:
I had the vrbmb1 modem. I did a super wipe and reinstalled synergy with stock kernel and i have great battery life now, i was using ziggys kernel before. Now android system is only using 5% of the bettery, was 30+ before and device idle is at 17% i dont think it was idling at all before idk why, voice calls is 33% and screen is 30%, i had only charged to 82% this morning and its still at 58% now 13 hours later with 23m23sec talk time 25m screen on time and 12h 32m idle. the phone was dying in 8 hours before with about the same use, mostly idle while i was at work.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bluenile:
I have a tablet (PiPo M9) on which if I long-press the power/lock button it shows me the shutdown confirmation dialog box (screenshot attached) instead of the power menu with multiple options to Shutdown, Reboot, etc.

From the logcat I was able to figure out that the tablet invokes the shutdown function in services.jar. I was able to mod the services.jar (ShutdownThread.smali) file and figured out where I can suppress the shutdown dialog box. But now instead of returning void, would it be possible to invoke the Power Menu with shutdown and reboot options.

Any pointers would be of great help.

No, don't flash a stock ROM, because then you will HAVE to do a factory reset.

Can you access recovery? Push the file via adb.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapha:
Hello everyone!

I just got the S4, and im really impressed by it.

But for a heavy youtube user, beein unable to connect to my home wifi is a big problem.

Whenever I try to connect to my home wifi I immediately get the message "Authentication error occurred" and the S4 wants me to insert password again. I did manage to connect to the wifi for some breef moments using the "Wifi connection manager" application, but it suddenly stopped working after I put the phone to lock screen. I have updated the phone in Kies, Rooted it to maybe find some fixes, rebooted the access point, forgot and reconnected the network, and still no luck.

Here is some info on the wifi:

WPA-PSK (personal)

We use an access point for the wireless singals. This is a Moterola AP-5131

But considering there beeing 4 iPhones and 2 laptops already connected to the wifi, I doubt it beeing the AP that is the problem.

I really hope that there is a phone-side fix to this problem, because it is easier to hack into the Matrix than to acces the AccesPoint.

Any help is more than welcome! :highfive:

I can print by beaming documents to my printer over infrared to my HP Laserjet 5 with an infra red adaptor plugged direct into the printer but that is effectively printing to a local port on the XDA2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcbxda:
there's no good android phone with a real keyboard, specially new ones. Swype is great and all, but for a linux session over ssh it's hell.

So, I ask, anyone know a good phone that has a great case with an external keyboard? (extra points for extended battery included!)

for most of my 'new phone' needs i go to gsmareana.com and use the advanced search... but that does not help when the deciding factor is an after market accessory.

Currently i'm using a Nexus One with CM7, so my needs are not many. I just need the phone to be easy to root/flash, can't use anything like a stock new samsung at all. but if i can flash a custom kernel i'm fine.

Is there a good option for this?

[HTC One S] ZackehSoul:
I figured I haven't seen this mentioned in this forum, so due to all the new ROMs and experiments coming for the VilleC2 I thought perhaps it'd be of some use to people. I've attached the stock boot animation for the HTC One S in case anybody is trying to get their device back to stock and has flashed their own animation without backing up.

If you're using a custom ROM such as MIUI or CM10, you can just copy the animation to the following path (make sure to rename your file to bootanimation.zip):

/system/media/bootanimation.zip

Otherwise if you're sat on a stock ROM you need to copy it to the following path (make sure to use the original file name of the download):

/system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_one.zip

In addition, I added the shutdown animation to the post too although I think this is only really going to be needed by people on stock ROMs. The shutdown animation goes to the same file path on a stock ROM as the boot animation.

Just thought this might be helpful as I was in this situation earlier!

Is no one able to advise with this, post been here a fortnight with no replies?

I believe that the wallpaper is saved in this location - /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper but requires root to access.

You could also perhaps try this Wallpaper Saver (tried to post linky but I'm still to much of a noob) from the play store. I have had a similar problem, I set a picture as my wallpaper background that I had taken and was saved on a now gone tits up memory card, the wallpaper is still there but I don't have the original image. The wallpaper saver app pulled it back for me but it's worth pointing out that it DOES NOT pull back the original image but a slightly reduced 1280x1280 .png version but at least I still get the picture back I suppose.

Would love to know if there is a way to pull it back without the need for root?
