[Nexus One General] DarsVaeda:
I also have serious battery problems since Gingerbread.

Every time I open my Task Killer there are other random apps running.

Every time I restart the phone there are also different apps running. Even apps that you usually never see, like wapedia (why should that start after boot?)

Also if I recover the phone every 5 mins, ie to check for mails or sms since the led does not work anymore, the battery is down another 1%...
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Apps have always started by themselves in the background on android, that's just the way the OS is programmed.
[Nexus One General] sarshadd:
*#*#4636#*#*>phone info and make sure your phone is set to GSM PRL (Auto).

It seems 2.3.3 reset me back to WCDMA Prefered so my phone was constantly pinging the area to find 3G signal. Putting it back on GSM PRL (Auto), which uses a cell service provided list and coordinates of towers, so your phone doesn't have to search for them, improved my battery life significantly.

Display is still the number one battery killer on my N1, it seems that doing anything with the screen on for more than 2-3 minutes produces noticeable drain of the battery use graph and batter diviner graph. (Something that didn't stand out as much in 2.2...)

Could the switch to 32-bit color responsible for this?
[Nexus One General] DarsVaeda:
I solved my battery issues by setting to WCDMA only.

Its great! Thanks for the info!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Not good if you leave a 3G coverage area though
[Nexus One General] peliROJO:
Exactly, and seeing as you have to go into *#*#4636#*#* I have to say again, this isn't a stock setup.

Today I decided to turn off WiFi radio when I got to work and I've been streaming Pandora since I left the house until now. I've left the screen on the whole time. I also did a little web surfing.

6h 0m 2s on battery

19% battery remaining

Display 80%

Mediaserver 7%

Cell standby 5%

Android OS 3%

Wi-Fi

2%

-edit- 12:01pm. Phone just shut down. I had stopped streaming to post this message. And then a couple of minutes ago I checked email and FB and BAM, Shutdown.
[Nexus One General] DarsVaeda:
Thats true, but I rarely do that as I live in a big german town.

But I do not think that 3G only was enabled by default on the last Android version. So I guess that is pretty much the cause of the battery issue at least for me.

Maybe they lowered borders for when the phone should switch from and back to 3G.

And maybe the phone is hitting that border very often so it constantly switches back and forth causing that drain.

Or its just another freaking bug with that mode...

Anyway by going to 3G only battery lifetime is now even far better than the last Android version.

Still it is not the optimal fix for sure because of the said inconvenience.
[Nexus One General] Grydrgn:
Same problem

I noticed the battery life dropped significantly on my nexus one after the gingerbread update. It said the display was consuming most the battery. I wiped it, reinstalled all my apps just as they were and battery life tripled from 8 hours to 24 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] boolat:
hello,

it is possible to download the map from google map? or only part of the country?

Only for use with GPS and without being connected via the data?

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Dont think so,... But Co-pilot apparently does that very well. It is not free though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] boolat:
to the users of google_map is free ...

How stupid he does not put the option to download the map of the country ....

I hope we will have one days
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pauliusba:
I think that google maps would take up vast amounts of storage space for a single city just because of the amount of information there is - satellite view, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Actually this is possible.

Using Google Maps offline in Android

Use Trekbuddy to download the maps of the region of your interest (in Trekbuddy select Rmaps format before downloading). Install Rmaps on your HTC then copy the file created by Trekbuddy to HTC.

Rmaps allows you to have kind of offline Google Maps. You will be able to display your location on the map and browse but not search or get navigation instructions.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] boolat:
hello,

you've already tested?

I install maverick: http://www.codesector.com/maverick.php pro version

my problem is that I could not get the map on the screen?

I created the map, but the file or save?

or should I save the file: Google Earth? I put in the root of the SD card and it does not work?

thank you for helping me
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Yep, it works. After Trekbuddy downloads your map (it could be hundreds of thousand of tiny PNG files depending on the size of your region and selected zoom levels) it compiles it into a single .sqlitedb file. Put this file in /sdcards/rmaps/maps and then open Rmaps, go to Settings > User defined maps and choose your file. Go back to Rmap main screen press Menu > Maps and you should see your map in the list - select it and off you go.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] boolat:
correct me if there was error:

Map source : Google earth

zoom level : 16

atlas content : Add selection

atlas setting --> format ? to choose that format?

thx
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Map source : Google earth - OK.

zoom level : 16. You may want to choose more than one level. Even if you download the finest zoom maps you will not be able to zoom out unless you downloaded upper zoom level. The maps are stored as bitmaps and cannot be scaled. So I suggest you to choose also 15, 14, 13 up until, say, 7. Check the zoom scroll in the upper left of the map to see what levels you are interested in. Anyway zoom 16 is the one generating most of the files.

atlas content : Add selection - OK

atlas setting --> I'm not at home right now and I don't remember exactly what settings I used here. Try BigPlanet SQLite. I don't remember if this is it or there should have been Rmaps format and it disappeared in the last version. I'll check it when I get home.

First try to download with smaller zoom like 6 so you can quickly check if it's working.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] boolat:
thank you for your help ...

we'll get there:)

I have the following error when I click on create map:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] butterdori:
For Maverick it's 'Maverick atlas format' and you should tick ALL the boxes to 16 (0,1,2,3 etc.) otherwise you only have 16 level map

I also want to use RMaps but can't because of that SQL lite error (this is despite following the instructions saying to put a dll file inside the folder)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] boolat:
with maverick, or putting 25549.jpg.tile,25550.jpg.tile creates with Atlas creation?

?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Well, this is exactly as instructions say:

1. Download the missing SQlite library from http://www.ch-werner.de/javasqlite/javasqlite-20100131-win32.zip

2. Extract sqlite_jni.dll and sqlite.jar and put both files in the directory where Trekbuddy jar is located.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] boolat:
thank you its works very well:)

thank you for your help ...

for zooming with RMAP, you get to operate the zoom?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
To have different zoom levels you need to select and download them in Trekbuddy. If you only clicked the check box near zoom level 16, for instance, this is the only zoom level you'll get in Rmaps. If you want the ability to zoom in AND out you need to create a map with all the zoom levels so go back to Trekbuddy and check all the level you wish to see in Rmaps (I myself use levels from 7 to 16) and create a new map.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deech:
Hey Chaps,

Thanks for this discussion etc, followed it through and wow-wee :)

only alteration is the map creation / download software is now called Mobile Atlas Creator otherwise spot on

ta
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sirl:
Someone should sticky this thread.

Someone should sticky this thread. I was kicking RMAPS and screaming at Mobile Atlas Creator. This thread was like a tranquilizer. Everything worked and I'm calm again.

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hatim:
cool. Will this work with google nav (burt variation)?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] goyal.sanchit:
It is not very effective if it doesnt show navigation.

I am using google maps brut but it doesnt seem to display maps while offline. I have checked the settings and have ticked the option to display maps from cache but dont know what the problem is.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
I put all the instructions in one-page tutorial so that folks won't have to read through all the thread to figure out how it works.

Using Google Maps offline in Android
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vagdesign:
Hello guys, I have a simpler answer to your question.

Open Market and search for: "Maps (-)" without the quotes.

This little app, lets you navigate during your WiFi connection, to Google Maps and save them on your SD card forever. Choose from it's settings the type of the maps you like, just use your usual navigation viewing a map, and during this navigation, the program saves all these maps to your SD. You can zoom, pan etc. and while doing this you'll see on the top left the program setting all these maps in Que for later download.

Disconnect from the internet (turn off WiFi) and open again the program...

All these maps are working fast and smooth ;)

I used this program on my summer vacations on a 1000km road trip with GPS on and everything worked fine. Try it and let me know.

Cheers.

VAG
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nirmalv:
Doesn't the latest maps(BRUT) have an option to make maps offline.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] D a r K:
Maps (-) works, but the app could'nt find my location...hmmm.

But its still a good map-guide example for the holidays.
[HD2 General] waza123:
Any fix for this ugly bug ?

Before HTC HD2 i had iPhone 3G, and it had no such bug.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRrKEDP59XE

This bug works on all apps, the biggest problem is when you type text on virtual keyboard, all buttons around are triggered.
[HD2 General] paulmin:
Get a life man.

Obviously it has a sensitive touch screen. It is not a bug. You can decrease the sensitivity using BSBtweeks amongst others. But if you touch and twitch your finger on the screen that's what you get.

And if you don't like it go back to you iPhone.
[HD2 General] jigners:
there are a lot of faulty devices initially which were released. claim your

warranty, bring this back to where you bought it and show them your problem
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
it is not bug it is due to over senstivity and it is common in capastive screens even my iphone do it but not so much as its screen is smaller

just don't use the tip of your fingure
[HD2 General] adrianfly:
there are any. cab to lower the sensitivity enough to solve this problem?

thank you very much:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
you obviously have a defective unit. I tested mine exactly the same way and doesn't have this shaking screen at all. (even at the maximum zoom level at opera.) try to get a replacement.
[HD2 General] schaffino:
i was having problems with the sensitive touch screen, not as bad as most, but very annoying. the main one being when trying to press the back key on the keyboard it would randomly hit a letter instead bout 1 outa 5 times. most other things where quite good.

Phone was still quite new so i returned it to virgin for a replacement and this new one works perfectly. Also, my old one had the visible matrix at angles where as this one does not. Also, the sticker on the packet says rev.B. Not sure if its relevant.

Anyway, to some it up, if you are having screen problems that are souring your phone experience and like me you can get a hassle free same day exchange, i'd go for it, cos the difference is really quite large. Previously id adopted to using skype as the normal qwerty was too innacurate for fast input. but now i can type quickly and accurately in portraite mode on the normal keyboard. Pinch to zoom seems to be working much better now aswell.
[HD2 General] waza123:
I have BSBtweeks and low sensitivty in that movie. On/OFF no big deal same effect.

I guess you guys don't have iPhone 3G and don't know how to real TouchScreen should work.
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
Why are you keeping your finger on the screen for so long?
[HD2 General] waza123:
Why not ?

For example, you scroll web down, and up in one move to see it all etc..

or u use Virtual mouse like notebook touchpad to control your pc cursor over wifi. etc.

I do it on iPhone without this bug.
[HD2 General] paxttel:
get the same probleme and bsb don't change anything :(
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
LOL @ tags to this thread :D:D
[HD2 General] ruscik:
I try and I try and I try but I can not replicate the problem in any software at any zoom level....
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
I have turned the tweak on and off and still cant make my screen do that maybe your phone is faulty,
[HD2 General] itoYo:
i had the same problem, get your phone replaced under warranty !

i sent mine out under warranty repair and foud that they did nothing to fix it so i rang them (o2) and told them the problem is still apparent.

they sent me recondtioned model. cant tell the difference (physical) between reconditioned and a new one if you ask me!

i dont have the shakes with this phone
[HD2 General] tgjertsen:
I got the exact same problem. Screen shivers like crazy, damn annoying. Bought in Norway... So it goes under warranty? I thought it was supposed to be like this...... :o
[HD2 General] Archer:
+1 :)
[HD2 General] p3eps:
Read my post thats one below this! I had a similar problem and just got my phone back after a week at HTC. A new screen (and camera?!?) and it works an absolute dream now. Definately recommend making the call!
[HD2 General] lonelykatana:
+1.

We've got a Iphone troll on the forum lol :D

LOL @ tags :p:p:p
[HD2 General] paxttel:
ok thx guys
[EVO 4G General] isaw:
Ok, so it's apparently "confirmed" from an HTC rep that this phone isn't coming to the UK shores

http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2010/03/24/htc-evo-4g-next-gen-network-hopes-dashed/

How fuct is that?? I would have bet the farm that this phone would have been a sure seller.

Really baffled by this, if true...
[EVO 4G General] Is_907:
I'm sure there will be a Euro or UK version of something "very similar."

I mean, this phone is basically an HD2 on speed, so it wouldn't surprise me if HTC made a GSM version of the EVO (probably sans WiMax since it's not popular over there yet, iirc.)
[EVO 4G General] isaw:
Exactly what I was thinking - had it not been for Winmo, I think the HD2 would have been a much better seller.

And now the EVO which is, as you say, a super-charged HD2 with Android and 8mp camera..

I just cannot see the marketing sense in NOT bringing it out over here in the UK (and Europe).

Unless they have some different version of it ready to drop on us under a different name "sans 4g".. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] snipey:
It wil come to europe, although ofcourse a modified version. Earlier specs of supersonic have confirmed a GSM version. Why it came to the US first, I don't know. Most of the time they first release a European version and then move on to the US. Perhaps HTC's brand-building in the US has been noticed and Sprint went ahead to discuss a deal for this phone. Non the less it could also be that the announcement coincided with an earlier event in the US, than one that is in the EU. I do remember how many rumors there where about a US release of the HD2 yes/no. Well, we all know now that did happen.
[EVO 4G General] orb3000:
Don´t worry for that, it will come, as stated above, in a different flavour but sure you´ll have it:cool:

Remember this strategy of giving the "privilege" some time to Europe and some times to America of having it first:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] freakzone:
I suggest they make a "World" launch this time :D:D:D
[EVO 4G General] Merckle:
Hey europe had the HTC HD and it wasnt released over here, but afer time it came but. Howw is that different?
[EVO 4G General] burgertime:
For once us Americans get the upper hand on the cell phone wait game. I'm sure you guys will get the same phone a few months later.
[EVO 4G General] don_sefer:
I hope so. Want to buy the Evo... Cant stay with hd2 anymore
[EVO 4G General] Merckle:
Agreed, and really susprised that Sprint is gona have the best phone out on the market for awhile. Apple = Dead after this phone drop lol

Dan Hess aint messing around

Yeah im sure it will come out sometime this year in Europe, a similar version that is. Anyone have any guesses as to the time frame? Maybe a few months after the US release? Or maybe closer to Christmas?

In the meantime im stuck with this f*cker lol.
[EVO 4G General] magicalan:
I dont feel anything that its not going to uk or europe u guys get most **** first so

HA!! :P
[EVO 4G General] chronster:

and

you guys always get cool phones first, so stop whining :P
[EVO 4G General] wankingweiner:
my concern is not whether we get it first, but whether we get it at all.
[EVO 4G General] incaaa:
And if we do, then with a proper 4G. We here don't have wimax about 2-3 years already. It's almost dead. What we do have is 4G(although so little it doesn't almost count yet)

E: It got me a bit suspicious, and i discovered that they can label almost any technology providing 100M link as 4G.
[EVO 4G General] Dai323:
Well, as an American who's been living in Germany the past 8 years, I can honestly say that

Europe definetely get more perks when it comes to phones. It doesn't bother me that it will come to the states first. I just hope that it comes here AT ALL.

And in regards to it being the...once again...iPhone Killer....it won't happen. As much as I DESPISE Apple, you can bet ur ass that Steve Jobs will be presenting SOME SICK STUFF

when the new iPhone drops.

Keep in mind guys..Google doesn't want to kill the iPhone. Google LOVES the iPhone.

It puts their search engine, maps, and services in the hands of 40 million people.

As long as they still have market share, and know that most people will search online

with Google, they could care less what smartphone your using.

That said.I'm sure in terms of smartphone market share, that they will be right even with

Apple in the coming years. But even then, the iPhone will be important for Google.

That is unless of course Steve Jobs does something really stupid and bans Google use

somehow on the iPhone.

Then Google will kill it :) And let's not forget..as awesome as EVO will be (God I want that

damn phone) Nexus 2 could also have the potential to DEVESTATE the new iPhone if

marketed properly this time.

Sry for the typos..posting from my G1 right now :)

[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
You need to make sure NOT to cook in the database files that it uses, otherwise they become "ready only" and the device can't overwrite them to save new words in them. I believe both of them have an .adb extension. I might be mistaken though, someone correct me please.

I've set the camera storage destination to SD CARD.

It's been saving on "Picture" folder of SD CARD, but I want to change it to other directory.

How can I do it?

[neoTouch S200 General] korl85:
oh yeah... thats really annoying too ...
[neoTouch S200 General] jlambiq:
I use this fixed Camera.exe. It prevents camera from making a directory for every day. Replace the original with it in Windows directory on your neotouch. Also, don't blame me if you break your Acer with it.;)

[Touch Diamond CDMA] kajolishot:
Hi all, I understand the main storage is 50MB and depending on the ROM this gets eaten up fast. Right now mine is at 1MB free. I text a lot and I figured it is the text message DB that is eating up the space.

Is there a way to move that DB to the internal storage instead?

Edit: This app helped find space consumers at ppcgeeks: MobileMonger
[Touch Diamond CDMA] wolfdm3:
If you are desperate to keep your old messages, use one of the backup programs located on this forum and delete your old ones from the device.

Besides that, I suggest cleaning up the storage space by deleting unnecessary pictures, such as the ones that come on the phone or moving your media to the internal storage.
