Juice defender was missing for me a couple of hours ago. But actually, when I installed it thinkgs started to go wrong for me. May be a coincidence, or may be a conflict with some other sw.

Following shocking power drain, I have hard reset, and left it with nothing syncing and all networking disabled. As you'd expect, battery level is barely falling in standby. Now to start adding things back in and see what efects it has. First step is to spend 30 mins browsing over 3g, previously this would take out 10% of my battery.
[Desire General] xfile087:
It's not there for me either currently, neither is mybackup pro... :/
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Some apps can cause quite some power drainage. Read in another thread, don't know which one anymore, that a BBC app was the cause. But I'm not really sure anymore.

But it's not the first time some application is the cause for heavy battery usage!
[Desire General] choccy31:
Juice Defender is missing. even the barcode on the developers site is not working now.
[Desire General] Ramedge:
I can't see it in the market now either.

this is strange. I checked my downloads just to see if it was still in there and it was, it just so happened to say update available too so I've just updated it.

It's really odd, is this big G pulling apps or developers?
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
I think it's not ready or flagged for 2.1 or something, and then you can't see it in the list. afaik developers can select with what version the app is compatible and perhaps even what devices.

Try searching for the game 'Hyperspace'. Not available for the Desire, not even by barcode. Bu it's really there! Just not compatible with Desire/Nexus yet :)
[Desire General] Scholesville:
Looking at recent smartphones, batterylife has always been an issue for these phones. With ever increasing CPU power and more add-ons, I'm surprise phone companies do not increase the battery capacities. Maybe they should start researching on newer battery technologies.
[Desire General] adjei7:
Where abouts do you live, if you dont mind me asking? You probably have great cell reception, and cell reception makes a huge difference on battery usage.
[Desire General] discohero11:
This is just amazing. I could only dream of this kind of performance. I do spend most of my day in choppy reception so signal goes between H, G and 3G constantly which I am sure isn't helping the battery life. Other than that, my GPS, BT and WiFi are nearly always off. Screen set pretty low (15-20%) for indoor use. Optimized syncing depending on services (FB, Twitter, News etc. are not even in use and NewsRob is set to manual) with Gmail being the only one that's set to push because I can't function otherwise and Gtalk running all the time. No animated wallpapers etc. Even with those conditions after 5 days of owning the phone it makes it through the day but hitting orange/red territory very quickly ... too quickly.

I've looked at my battery usage stats and its about 30% Android System, 40% calls and the rest system idle/standby with occasional camera/app taking 2-5% depending on use.

I really hope my battery life improves over a week or two because right now I am not even using the phone "heavily".
[Desire General] micks_address:
i am seeing something simillar.. my battery struggles to make it through the day.. i do have a live walpaper on though.. i checked the stats and usuage was like 60% android operating system.. maybe i have some stray apps or something..
[Desire General] daverave999:
Would you mind telling me where that setting is please?

[Desire General] hugorx:
Btw in settings you can see how much each system is draining battery power.
[Desire General] Eggcake:
I got miserable battery life too and I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I get 1 "WorkDay" max. That means about 8-10 hours.

Even in "Flight Mode" it uses so much battery. I turned everything off (WLAN, Mobile Internet etc.) put it in flight mode, went to bed.

In the morning, 20% battery life were gone. WTF?!?!

At the moment it is the pain. I can't use it as a smartphone, I have to use it as a normal crap phone just for calling to get acceptable life. And even then it's worse than my crappy old phones...
[Desire General] micks_address:
just wanted to comment on batter life.. my first full weekend at home.. and connected to my wi-fi network... way better batter performance.. ok i was gardening most of the weekend but even still battery was almost full each evening.. whereas at work it would be well on the way down.. i think if you have a crappy edge connection (like my office does) then it really eats battery trying to connect to it..
[Desire General] rdann:
Same problem with my desire and T-Mobile, signal very poor. I am new to T-Mobile so thought I was in a poor signal area, tried the sim in my old HTC diamond pro and got 5 bars, so has to be the phone.
[Desire General] madmossy:
I think the problem with poor battery for t-mobile users is the network.

Most people like myself are having the phone constantly switching between GPRS/EDGE/3G and H connections.

Mine is a majority of the time just using GPRS even though according to T-Mobiles web site I should be getting an excellent connection for 3G. As has been discussed previously by Android devs, GPRS uses significantly more battery than 3G so could be the root cause of poor battery for T-Mobile users.

I personally just about get a day of moderate/light use (8am-6pm) by the time I get home the phone needs charging.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] madsborelli:
Could anyone create a flashable zip-file so I'll get the screen transition animations as on the nexus one for example. I am using Villainrom 5.2. I tried myself, but was unsuccessful.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] fuz1987:
Have you tried using the Spare Parts app? That has all kinds of transition and other effect options

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] prodygee:
Only does speeding up or slowing down animations, nothing more.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] bonesy:
are you talking about the zoom out style one?search android transitions on Google,you'll have to extract framework-res.apk if I remember right!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] btdag:
Settings > Sound & Display > Animation > All Animations

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] madsborelli:
I put the right anims in the extracted framework-res.apk, but I don't know how to compile it to apk again, and then I also don't know how to make the whole package a flashable zip. Could anyone help with that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] victorsiqueira:
Can't you just use a program like 7zip to insert the resouces into the apk file and then push it via ADB?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] bonesy:
Get the rom.zip put the framework-res file In Its place,resign and flash.I dont think you can just push the file thru adb as it will cause force closes
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] madsborelli:
Thanks for all your help.

I need to extract my roms framework-res.apk and then put in new anims. How do I then make it an .apk again? And how do i sign the zip file?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] bonesy:
You of course need android sdk,also java jdk search xda for resign update.zip.sorry I can't link you but am on my phone.ill be home in an hour if you want to upload the files ill do it for you
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] madsborelli:
I've tried looking up how to resign update.zip's and apk's , but it says something about the autosigner won't work on windows 7 ( which is what I have ) . If it's not too much to ask, I would greatly appreciate, if you could make a flashable zip update containing the boot animations from standard 2.1 (fade in and out), that would work for villain 5.2.

Thanks for all your help :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] bonesy:
here you go!

I prefer these animations to the slide one.Boot time takes a while 5 mins or so but it will boot! be patient i think its because it has to reconfigure framework.

Flash through custom recovery

Now if we just could get the epic rotation animations from Cupcake 1.6... :whistle:

Thanks... I didn't ask how to do it as I already have installed MD as a system app. But what happens if GPS is off and I execute... Does it just turn it on? Is there a setting? Does it turn it back off? Etc.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Sorry, yes it has access to turn on GPS if it's installed as a system app.

only downside is you have to reinstall each time you upgrade your ROM
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Hmmm... I guess if MD leaves it on, you could activate with MD and then use WaveSecure? Or can WS activate GPS as well?
[HD2 General] Davethomas:
Tried various music players on my Htc HD2 Leo (mort, Pocket player etc) But keep coming back to the stock HTC player as it tends to use less resourses. I tend to use it bluetooth streaming with my car stereo. But just can't seem to get the quality of sound I want. when I use it with aux jack plugged in to my car stereo and Audio booster can get it perfect. So question is has anyone found a hack yet so I can use audio booster with out headphone jack being plugged in then I can use it streaming bluetooth.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuz1987:
Hi everyone,

I've searched the forums for the past hour or so trying to find out what the thing is that I'm looking for but haven't had any luck, so if anyone can point me in the right direction then I'd be really grateful.

My cousin has a G1 and recently installed one of the SuperCSDI ROMs on it. He showed me an option where on the home screen he presses menu and there was some sort of "Advanced Settings" button, and when he went into it, it allowed him to choose the number of home screens, which home screen was the main one (such as 1st (very left), or 4th (middle), etc) and number of rows of icons in the app drawer menu, as well as various other options.

I don't know if this is the "Advanced Launcher" app because from what I've read that only seems to let you choose "number of rows" but not the number of home screens.

So does anybody know which app/what I'm talking about and if so, is it possible to be installed on Hero either via an .apk file or by flashing a specific ROM that has this built in.

I only use 2 of the 7 screens available so I wonder if decreasing the number of home screens would speed up the phone in terms of RAM usage, etc.

Regards

You guys can't possibly be talking about the "Bubbles" lwp that's on the market, can you?

OK, so no, that's not what you're talking about. Any screenshots of it someone could link to? I'd like to check out some cool live wallpapers....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jumaaneface:
yeah not that one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J5dy7gfMwQ&feature=player_embedded

it's the one from the htc desire. like i said it works on the desire and since someone got the desire rosie.apk ported, i thought that maybe it would be possible to get it to work. maybe it has some dependencies on the desire framework...im not too sure.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] keyofhappy:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] subliminalurge:
Ah, that one. Yeah, that one's pretty cool. Not a "must have", but it would be cool to have on my phone as an option.

I could make a youtube video of the one I was referring to, but trust me, it's not worth it... :)

Now, for a completely unrelated question....

How do I get one of the demo phones? I've done all the right things. Tried the phone stock when it was fresh out of the box, tried better roms, wiped EVERYTHING and then reflashed the fastest roms I've found, and my phone has never, ever been as snappy as what they show in these demo videos.

Makes me wonder if they build special demo phones that have a 3ghz core 2 quad in them with three and a half minutes of battery life.... (just enough to do a quick demo and then run back to the booth for a fresh battery...)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ssconceptz:
Ordered a new digitizer for my Samsung Epix and it is the correct part and the digitizer just sits in the bezel, I assume its glued on but cant figure out how it comes off. Anyone done this before on this phone or have a tutorial or how-to?

Thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tbird635:
Just did it today. Wish I'd taken pics. You have to take it completely apart in order to connect the new ribbon cable as it attaches to the underside (bottom) of the circuit board. There's 6 screws that need to come out, the bottom 4 being obvious and the top two hidden, one under the stylus, the other under a rubber plug at the top rt corner, which you just pry out to reveal the screw head.

Once the screws are out, use something plastic to separate the case halves, I used an old credit card and started prying beneath the memory card slot. Then you can see the little ribbon cable on the bottom right side of the circuit board, folding around from the front. Be VERY careful when removing the ribbon cable from the board. You have to lift a small latch upwards and to the left , ending up with the little flap like lever standing straight up , to release the cable. The cable goes back in by inserting it and closing that lever to sandwich the cable in place.

The digitizer is held in by two sided tape that you may or may not be able to reuse. You will have to carefully pry it loose from the front bezel. I suggest you warm it with a hair dryer.

I had to use silicone gasket sealer on mine to hold it oin place as the sticky stuff came off with the digitizer.

Good luck !

Title says it.

If your getting it to work let me know. I'm using latest skyfire on Tmo TP2 over wifi.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] outerdepth:
No No Way, Uh Uh, Forget It

Nope, ain't gonna happen. I hate to break it to you. I also, know that Skyfire is the most superior of all the web browsers when it comes to viewing flash content. Guess who also knows this, the people at HULU. Skyfire used to work for HULU content, but they got hip to this, so it no longer works. The only way you are gonna view HULU is to use myPlayer app. It is alright, you cant just view anything on Hulu, but you can view a lot of stuff on it. Plus, for now, this is as good as it gets. Search for myPlayer and Coreplayer (needed to stream myPlayer). You might just like it. I use it from time to time
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
that seems stupid and childish...why in the world does hulu care if we watch on our pc or a pocket pc...

im sure its something im missing regarding this, but it seems petty on the surface...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Don't blame Hulu, blame the US copyright system. Hulu has to keep all the TV networks (who legally hold the rights to those shows) happy by obeying every applicable copyright law. Hulu loses lots of business when a network decides to yank all their shows, and the average visitor to their site isn't happy when their shows go away. I'm sure somehow the networks negotiated something into some license/contract that Hulu must block mobile devices from viewing the site if possible, and Hulu is simply holding their end of the bargain
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
that's probably the most logical answer to what's going on...personally i don't use skyfire b/c they hoard as much personal info as google, as i understand it...thanks for clearing that up...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dodo2244:
Yep, and also Skyfire would enable non US viewers of Hulu content. For now Hulu is only available for US IP's :-(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
What doesn't make sense to me is why would they want LESS viewers of their material?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vHatch:
This happened many months ago.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
It's only reappearing now because for 2-3 days, it was working again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I agree with Dave. The people who actually run hulu want it to succeed, but ultimately they aren't just answerable to the networks who own the content, hulu itself is owned by NBC, Fox and ABC/Disney.

Ironically, you can visit most of the network sites individually and watch via skyfire.

They don't, but despite wanting to get into an inevitable online/on demand system, they are concerned (justifiably) about hemorrhaging broadcast/cable/satellite viewers. Hulu has just now reached profitability, but it doesn't have near the margins mainstream sources do, and probably won't for some time to come. Networks DO want to have a presence to stop unnecessary pirating and they DO want their heavily serial shows (Lost) to be something you can miss an episode of and catchup online without dropping out of the audience because you feel lost and they DO want to build legit audiences towards the day when TV gets rolled into the internet, but they DON'T want to hasten that particular day.

I have an HTPC, a nice big HD monitor and a real IR remote hooked up to it. Networks fear people like me who don't need their more profitable partners anymore. Someday, they'll be able to charge larger premiums on ads than they can now and it will no longer be an issue, but not today.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
Still, given some thought, it's not a bad thing for them. It's like if I had a free newspaper distributed in the county of a large city and a small supply accidentally got sent to a neighboring county. Why would I hate that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SPIDERTECH:
Not to mention they are now owned in part by Comcast after the Comcast/NBC merger. Hulu is a direct competitor with cable companies. They not only block skyfire, but the PS3 as well. It's because they only want user's to watch their content sitting down at a computer. I think it's pretty ridiculous to block skyfire though. I used to watch hulu all the time on my phone before it was blocked since I am rarely at home in front of my computer. Now I pretty much never use hulu.

I did get my fill though when they unblocked it for a short amount of time ^-^ I just found out today that they blocked it again.

Hi,

What do you use to have currency info?

Which could be updated manually or automatically.
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
I'm actually looking for something on this but haven't yet found any suitable app (currencies are crucial for my day to day). ATM I'm using an app named Search Currency (just a currency converter) which just adds currency exchange rate data for any number you type in QSB. You scroll to the bottom of the results and click on more results > search calculator and it shows you the exchange data for any input>output currencies you've already configured in the app itself (1 in and ~66 out are the default possible). Very rudimentary; it's auto update since it requires Google net access to function. Something similar to the Stocks app would be much better for me.
