[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bkbbk:
I've got a HTC Flyer P512 wifi recently. It's retail in mainland of China. Unfortunately, the google service framework has been cut off from the firmware. So I can't use google's service at all, even the Google play app store.

So, could I flash it to a HongKong or Taiwan firmware? Better, if can be flash back to android 2.3. Or, is there a suitable version of google service framework could be installed on it?

Information:

CID of the Flyer is FHLCN702

HBoot version: 1.13.0015

Android version: 3.2.1

Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M

Build number: 3.70.1041.5 CL370977 release-keys

Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g2040a15

Thank you.

What you can do is to unlock your boot loader and install a recovery. All you have to do then is to download a gapps zip and install it through the recovery. Its a lot easier than to try and downgrade from HC to GB or to try and swap your ruu for that of another region.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bkbbk:
Thank you. I had flash the cwm recovery successfully, and install the gapps from the sdcard.

P.S. HC is no longer supported by lots of software. There is no Google chrome for HC. : (
[Ouya General] professorpoptart:
All, just FYI.. I was talking with datagutt and he mentioned that he needed to send back his controller due to a sharp edge on the metal face plate cutting into the left joystick. I took a look at mine and its doing the same thing his was and I hardly use the controller (i'm in adb most of the time!). I would advise to sand down or otherwise blunt the sharp edge before the cut gets too deep if this is happening to you.

This is mine after hardly any use.

edit: thank datagutt I would never had looked at mine until he said something...
[Ouya General] ddelamareuk:
Thanks for the heads up!!
[Ouya General] datagutt:
I will report back once i get my new controller.
[Ouya General] :
I took a look at my joysticks and the same exact thing is happening! It's on both joysticks but much more pronounced on the left which makes sense because it gets used more. What would be the ideal way to smoothen the joysticks cradle?
[Ouya General] ddelamareuk:
I've taken a look at both of my controllers as well and exactly the same only 1 day usage... I've actually taken the magnetic covers off and used them to cut down on wear and tear however.... After about 30 minutes playing Shadow gun, its starts wearing down the underside of the stick :S either way its going to destroy them. But you can order new ones which at least is a work around as they can be replaced. Saw a video on YouTube about a controller stick mod.

Ideally what they would have been better with was a small aluminium ring just under the rim so its metal on metal and not so much wear and tear.

Not a big deal, but the quality is an issue for sure. Take note Ouya for controller MkII :P
[Ouya General] player911:
Hopefully this isn't the case with all controllers. Would suck. Although I doubt it would get too deep.
[Ouya General] darchur:
I don't see this as a big deal its not like you can saw the stick in two.
[Ouya General] unmark:
I've checked mine and also is visible the mark. I hope that the movement stick is limited before by the own mechanmism than the metallic ring, and do not saw the stick...
[Ouya General] Butjer:
It is the same on My Controller and it seems to be a production failure that occurs on every controller.

It's just sloppy crafted.

I took some 400K Sandpaper and deburred it myself. I also took the pad apart and applied some Grease on the triggers. So that they feel a lot smoother and the "grinding-noise" stopped.

At first touch the gamepad feels realy good, but if you take a closer look it's just poor craftsmanship.
[Ouya General] user822:
Is the plastic part massive or hollow where this happens?

[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Is this going to be put on amazon?
[HTC Droid DNA] DaPitt84:
I have the case. Only think is I wish it had the light hole on the back.

At first it's slippery but it starts to have a nice grip now. I use the seidio surface belt clip with it. Works great. Wish there were more design ones out there not made of plastic. I know cruzerlite was selling these but they only had that one and the clear android mascot on the back (the one I hate). So I liked the design better.

Are there any chances any of the other designs you have on your website coming to the DNA? I love the Andy circuit persona one and the android circuit. Then the androids is cool. That circuit persona one is awesome looking.

I bought a few things off Amazon and they were junk. Would love to see more for the DNA.

So I'm looking for a decent (preferably eBay/DX) bunch of screen protectors which have a decent quality - emphasis on a good quality/price ratio. one of those 3 screen protector packs which are relatively OK but not too expensive.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
Cheap and Decent? Those two words do not go together for a screen protector.

Sure, there are $3 for 10pcs on eBay and they protect the screen from being scratched BUT... they themselves tend to get scratches easily and will obsure the screen not long after prompting you to change them. It can get tedious really easy.

My suggestion, get a cheap glass protector. It should cost around USD9.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ranchosteve:
I tried a cheap $9 glass protector from Ebay, for the first time after always using zagg. It is amazing and recommend it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] frrlod:
Could you post a link please?

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mbrickslol:
if yer looking to protect your expensive investment why not spend the money to instead of looking for cheap ways to?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ranchosteve:
When it comes to phones accessories, more expensive isn't always better. Most cases and protectors that are the same quality can be bought on Ebay, for less then half if you bought online.

Welcome to the open discussion of BetterBatteryStats.​

I would like everyone to give a big hug(and thanks) to aashay960 for finding this app:

BetterBatteryStats

​

What does it do?

Well it records the power usage of every single thing that drains battery from your phone.

And when I say everything I mean everything. Wakelocks, apps, alarms, you name it.

Why the fudge would I download it?

Spontaneously this great dude in the second post had the idea to tackle the not-so-great battery life on our device when it runs an overclocked kernel and/or in general.

You will be helping us find the heavy draining apps and stuff, which would lead to their fix.

And you will increase your own battery life if you provide us with good feedback.

Woah thats great, how can I help?

Check the second post for tips tricks and instructions on how to operate this app.

I hate this app, and I hate you.

*hugs* Have a great day :3

Don't forget to hit the thanks button in the original thread for buy it from the app store if you really enjoyed working with it. :3

Note:Since i got bored i will be updating the layout from my 10.1" screen laptop. Lets see how it goes.
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Guys, if we want to pull this off we will need all of you to contribute to this thread. There are a lot of factors that can affect your battery stats and I will not be surprised if everyone gets different results. But that is exactly why we need as many results as possible.

Here's what you should do..

ONE-TIME STEPS

Go to the original thread. (Link in OP)

Have a good read

Download and install the app

Open the app

Have a look around then go to Menu>Settings>Advanced> select Root features

In the main screen of the app, press "other" and select "Alarm". It will ask for superuser permission, Grant it.

STEPS WHEN REPORTING

Charge your phone fully (so that we get more data)

After you unplug your charger, go to the app and make sure the second line says "unplugged"

Then, Forget about the app (well, not completely :eek:)

Use your phone like you normally would. The more you use it, the more data we will have. Leave it overnight if you can.

IMPORTANT - DO THE NEXT STEP BEFORE YOU PLUG IN YOUR CHARGER OTHERWISE ALL WILL BE WASTED

When it is time to charge you phone again, go to the app, Select Menu>More>Raw Stats

Click on "Other" and take screen shots of the following screens

Partial wakelock (very important)

Kernel Wakelock

Alarms

Process

Network

HOW TO REPORT

Name of Rom:

Name of Kernel:

Battery drain per hour: (it is mentioned on the main screen of the app below "current")

The screen shots:

Anything else you would like to mention :laugh:

Optional - CPU Settings(max/min, governor etc)

POINTS TO REMEMBER

Your stats will depend on a LOT of factors and you will get somewhat different stats every time you charge.

Please do not post screenshots as soon as you install the app. It will be useless. The app needs time to collect data.

The more (number of hours) you use the phone, the better the stats will be.

Please visit the thread every 2 or 3 days and post your (new) results. It will hardly take time to take 5 screenshots

And dont worry, BetterbatteryStats itself will not cause any battery drain ;)

All this might seem confusing but it is all really very simple. I have tried to make this post with extreme detail so that all the members can help.
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Aww man.. I had been collecting data for almost 20 hours. Battery went from 100 to 27. Then i rebooted the phone for some other reason and now its all gone.WIll have to start again... Lesson learned
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
I found this guide on wakelocks that explains the most common ones. Really helpful.
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
OP Updated, hopefully people can get a better idea of what we are aiming for.

Also aashaay, i suggest that we elaborate on a proper etiquette and topic layout in your guide. It would be super usefull for people that are just getting started. PM me so we can find an enviorment that lets us do that.

Edit: OP maystill go under some changes, but the link will remain.
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
N.O.P.E.

JB MINI

7.3 pH

Hope this is right.
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Thank you for posting. The 3 major battery suckers in your phone are wifi, facebook and google services. As I myself dont use wifi, I will not be able to comment on that.

As far as facebook and google services go , I would Suggest getting an app called Greenify. I have been using this app myself and so far it has proved to be really effective. And its really easy to use.

The downside is

Facebook - No more push notifications. You will have to open the app when you want to see your notifications and stuff..

Google services - You will not be able to install apps directly from your PC. You have to go to the Play Store in your phone. I dont think this should be a big problem though.

On the upside, you will see a much better battery life and maybe a increase in performance as these apps will not constantly run in the background. They will run as usual when you personally launch them. Give this a try. Hope this helps.

PS - I would personally suggest getting rid of the facebook app and using your browser to go to m.facebook.com. That will be even better. The facebook app has been known to cause a lot of wakelocks and unnecessary background processes. It is your choice though. Best of luck :cowboy:
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
Get rid of the Facebook app, it's balls lol. I've greenified play services and so I needed to do to install from PC is open play store on my phone. No big deal. If you really don't want to use m. Facebook. What I would suggest you going for either flipster or any other substitute. Just don't use the default one. Disable Wi-Fi when you are not using it and you should be good to go :3

P.S. May I suggest you put greenify in the instructions, aashay? Like " What to do after you collected data"

Thanks
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
I dont think Greenify will 'always' be the solution to the problem. I would say as people post their stats we could help them out with it (only once though, I'm not answering the facebook thing again lol). So after a while we will have a database of problems and solutions that others users can just go through and use the 'search' button. What do you say?
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
Yeah i went ahead of myself with this. I tend to get overexcited about helping, and also the sun isnt really helping my brain work clearer.

Lets wait it out and get some more data, I should have my screenshots posted tonight if i dont accidentaly charge my phone.
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Yeah me too.. I always accidentally reboot or charge before taking the screenshots ;)
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
I have uninstalled fb and some other rubbish and got greenify.

Will let you know the results tonight.

Thank you both for your help.

Nope kernel

[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
I think I can help you reduce the com.android.gsf wakelock (alarm)..

>Get the app called Autorun Manager

>Go to Menu - Settings - Enable system app disable (it should be checked)

>Press home and then go back to the app

>Look for 'Google Services Framework' in the list (NOT 'Google Services')

>Uncheck anything with 'gtalkservice' in it. (There should be about 5 or 6)

I think that might help you. i did that and I rarely get alarms from that anymore. And greenify facebook messenger if you want
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Cyanogenmod 10

Prometheus Kernel (800max)

Per hour - 1.8% (which is amazing)

Run Time - 1 day 5 hours 48 mins 21 secs

Screenshots attached

Comments - The major suckers were whatsapp, Onavo count and E-mail (for some strange reason).

I cannot greenify or do anything else with whatsapp and onavo because they are way too important for me.

I do NOT use push notifications for Email .I have set it to sync every 30 mins (which is pretty conservative). Maybe its a one time thing and a reboot should fix it. If it happens again in the next run, I'll look into it.
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
Well after doing everything you suggested and greenify almost everything I am now on 42% after 20 hrs at 1.6 pH.

Amazing people, thank you.
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
You do know that greenify means no background processes right? That means no more push messages. Make sure you know what you are doing. Have a read about that app on the official thread on xda. It'll help you understand better.
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
Yes I did read up on it first. I left things like whatsapp, BBS, gmail and WiFi keep alive active.

I didn't realize just how bad fbook was.

Getting a lot better now.

Can you tell me what the deleted_wake_locks are?

Never mind, searched and found out.

The search bar is so underrated!

Thanks again.
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
There is a link in post #4 of this thread which explains the common wakelocks.
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
Yes, sorry!

I did search when I realised how lazy just asking for solutions rather than searching was!
[HTC Desire C] RestlessScreams:
Why is everyone complaining about the battery of our desire?

If I don't use it that much it can last a whole weekend!

Today my runtime is 16h,with wifi nearly always on, 3h screen on and still 29% left. And that all with the 816Mhz Prometheus.

Gonna post a screen when I'm on my pc.

[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
This is an app to find the cause of the battery drain. If we know the cause we can treat it better.

I am getting a huge difference in my battery life after using this app, and I'm really happy with my phone...
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
Yes it lasts, but any extra we can get out of it has to be worth looking for.

[HTC Desire C] me4488:
It was originally Ashes idea (sorry I'll call you that from now on if you don't mind xD I'm way too lazy)

So you should thank him a lot more than me.

By the way Ash the thing you suggested worked like a charm :3 (it's a super late reply but I just remembered)
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:

[HTC Desire C] butler0607:
Without too much effort I reached a drain of around 1.5% ph, allowing my battery to last me 3 days. Haven't had a full run of BBS yet, I only started trying to get a better battery life partway through the 3 days!

Charging the phone now so will post screenshots and proper info in a few days (or hopefully more ;) )
[HTC Desire C] LaputaCake:
How?
[HTC Desire C] butler0607:
NOPE kernal clocked at 700mhz, JBMINI, greenify anything not needed, swap Facebook for Flipster and Onavo for My data manager, and then put it in airplane mode when you're asleep. I got the above stats while setting all that up, now doing a full battery run down now and I should end up with just over 3 whole days charge, aroud 1.3ph drain and about 5 hours screen time.
[HTC Desire C] LaputaCake:
Thanks I'll give it a go and my will provably be better as I'd running lower than 700 at the moment and as battery low 255
[HTC Desire C] butler0607:
Fair enough, let us know how the setup works for you? I just went through a whole battery cycle and ended up with just over 84 hours of charge (that's 3 and a half days!) and works out to just under 1.2 ph. Will post my BBS screenshots in a bit
[HTC Desire C] LaputaCake:
seemed to get a quite good battery life. So maybe thats the solution for our pretty terrible battery life even though stock seems to have very good batter life with high to medium use
[HTC Desire C] butler0607:
Maybe, hope it helps someone at least! To be honest, my performance on stock was so terrible I never notices how good the battery life was!
