[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
I know that I experience the worst battery life when using Live Wallpapers.

Instead, I use a black background. It's easier to see my homescreen icons, too!

Even with the 5 screens, I only use 2 of them.

The center one has no more than 4 icons on it (two for quick messaging, one for Camera, other for Messaging) + the Google Search bar widget. Using the search bar, is how I access my apps. After typing it in once, it's cached (i think) and pops up quickly the next time.

The 4th screen just has a calendar widget on it, after all I AM OrganizedFellow ;)

I only ever kill all tasks when I set my phone down for extended periods of time: gonna watch a movie, nap time, after lunch when my phone goes back to my locker, etc.

Using the *#*#4636#*#* code, I've set mine to "WCDMA Preferred". It doesn't go into 3G or H as often as "WCDMA Only".

ANNNNND the last setting is in SetCPU.

I set MAX to 499 throughout the day.

Unless I wanna go online, read RSS, use WeatherBug, play a game, check Gmail, etc. but then afterwards, back down it goes.

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

ON MY WORK DAYS I send/receive about 50-100 texts throughout the day.

I check Gmail manually during my breaks/lunches. I reply to Facebook posts via SMS.

ON MY DAYS OFF I send/receive about 100-300 texts throughout the day. I reply to Facebook posts in the app, so I can read other comments, etc.

DAILY I use Weather Bug Elite once every morning.

This has yielded me an average of

at least 24 hours

, even on my days off usage. I don't charge while driving. And I don't overcharge during the night sleeping.

I wake up a few times during the night: pee, check on my kids, late night snack, etc. and when phone is near 100% charge, I unplug it.
[Hero CDMA General] ffolkes:
I feel like I need to get this off my chest, so my apologies of this isn't in line with the technical nature of this board.

I RMA'd my Hero a few days ago due to a blown ear speaker (sounded like a bee trapped in there whenever anyone talked), and was sent a refurb Hero that had a broken trackball button. The csr assured me the Hero had no trackball or center button (!!!) and after arguing with him that it did, he finally sent me over to Advanced Data Support or whatever they call it, where they agreed to send me out another Hero. That one arrived today, and refused to accept programming. After 45 minutes with support they finally got it to work by having me manually program it. The previous owners phone number, Sprint email (which is their full name), and city were all in there already, as it was obviously never properly reset at the factory. When they had me make a test call, voicemail, it dialed the old owner's phone number, and I actually spoke to them! When I explained it to him, he said "ohh...uh oh..." like he was pitying me for having his old phone. Out of curiosity, I googled the name, which revealed their myspace and facebook pages. I find this breach of privacy disgusting. Why is Sprint leaving so much personal data on their refurbished phones?

And I'd bet good money the other refurb I was sent, was originally sent in because of that damn broken trackball button, which they ignored and sent right back out as refurbished.

Maybe I'm overreacting, but right now I'm really disgusted with Sprint. Disgusted enough that the EVO looks a lot less enticing than it did a few days ago. :/

Thanks for reading.

[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Well, that's not very reassuring. If you don't already have one, I'd consider getting an account over at Sprint Users and putting it there as well. I'd not be happy having my phone go out full of my information!
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Wow, this is really funny. I would definetly post at Sprint Users or Sprint Community Forums. Wonder if it is possible to wipe that data our selves before sending it back in. Seems like it would be difficult since Hands Free Activation pretty much populates all that info on the phone for you the first time you boot it up. :(
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i hate the fact sprint takes these broken phones, fixes them and passes them off as new. the hero isn't even a year old and their doing this.
[Hero CDMA General] mrcharlesiv:
I had to get a refurb just this past Monday and before I took in my old phone I made sure to delete EVERYTHING. Although I really don't think it would hurt me too much for someone to be able to steal my identity.
[Hero CDMA General] mrniceguy715:
This isnt something you would normally see. I had to edit what I was about to post. But phones are tested and remanufactured with new parts before being sent out. I would recomend if there is one close to you using a service and repair center for replacement rather than having them send one over the phone.... and you get the added bonus of not having to deal with the RMA kit
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
At no point ever, is an Advanced Exchange ever talked about as a "new" device. Every piece of literature anywhere says its a refurbished phone.. And a tech that tells you different is a liar..

Here you are again spreading lies to get a skewed point across..
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
I'm ashamed of myself for posting this because I'm so against it but this sounds like a case for bricking before submitting for a replacement.

Flame away...
[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
So are you saying there is no possible way to clear all your personal info?
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
Yeah, that's pretty much unacceptable. And it's not the first time it's happened, I've read about this before. I would call the news. Seriously. It's newsworthy. Maybe if Sprint feels a little heat on this issue, they'll be a bit more careful with their customer's privacy.
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
why would you brick a perfectly good phone because there is someone else's info in it? that's ridiculous. you can do into settings and factory reset yourself and you're good to go. no sense in killing a perfectly good phone for no reason....

[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
I think he meant if he had to return his phone he would brick it. You know, so Sprint doesn't just pass it off to the next person as a "refurb" with all his info still in it.
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
I've read before that user data is stored in the mtd5 file or in mtd5ro. And i dont believe wiping clears out /dev/mtd/mtd5 and mtd5ro. But as nebenezer said you can always brick your phone, or possibly try

adb shell
rm -r /*

to delete everything. If you really wanted to....:confused: or just delete the mtd5 files, if they actually are where userdata is stored.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
So here is the thing.

When the phone is booted up - It polls the tower and says "HEY I'm MEID XXXXXXXXXXXX" - Then The phone says "HEY I DON'T HAVE ANY DATA WHAT THE HELL DO I CONNECT TO" and the Tower answers back "HERE IS ALL YOUR STUPID DATA NOW STFU" this is all of the login info and other stuff associated with the phones owner. The phone can now poll the tower for SMS, Calls, blah, blah, blah. THIS IS CALLED HANDS FREE ACTIVATION

Given overly simplfied.

Even after a phone has been completely reset out of the box brand spanking new. If the MEID is tied to a customer the phone populates automagically with that information. Thank you Sprint for this wonderful invention (which I think Verizon actually started)

So there really is no way to get all of your data off the phone since the phone will attempt to poll the data from the network once it is booted again. You need to make sure that the MEID is completly disassociated from your account to prevent it. Something Sprint has obviously failed at here.

Questions? None? Ok Good.
[Hero CDMA General] ffolkes:
Kcarpenter, thanks for the explanation. The first phone I had did exactly that, immediately after booting it provisioned itself. The second phone however, did not. It just booted right up the home screen, where the HTC time/weather widget was already populated with the last known location. It appears the phone was never even turned on by Sprint after it was sent in to them. That raises even more disturbing questions regarding their refurbishing process. :/
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
The Process is very broken. I have heard this happen more than once.

In fact a story about me:

I bought a used phone from US Cellular, it was one of their "30 Day phones" that was only used for 30 Days by someone who didn't like it. I purchased the phone they set it up gave it to me. I got home and started playing with it and sure enough there where pictures on it of people I didn't know. I thought they may have been demo pictures, but I'll de damned if one of them was a naked black chick and another pic of a naked black dude. (not racial just not my thing). I was furious. I took the phone back and told them what had happened. They said it was impossible that had happened and the pictures where mine (Skiny pasty white guy):rolleyes: I had a few issues with this phones a few days later. Randomly dropping calls/signal/error messages. So I took it in to have it looked at. The water damage sensor had been lit up. No way this was my fault - the phone never left my desk at home because the damn thing didn't work worth a ****. They said this had to be my fault because they check this stuff before they sell the phone again. So I was out 200 bucks for a broken phone with pictures of ugly ass naked people on it.

Lesson Learned:

Drop US Cellular if you have them. If you ever by a used cell phone Check it thorughly for kiddie porn and water damage.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Dude, true story swear on a Bible....
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
Even so, factory reset, send it in. Problem solved without ruining the phone
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Actually,

Service swap to previous device, factory reset, do not power hero on, send it in..

Hello Xda members,

I just got my tattoo today and i found some problems...

First, i enable GPS on Locations (settings and let google find... blah blah)

but when i open Google Maps it says "connection lost, failure etc etc"

Second, when i kill all tasks, the remain memory is 92 MB..

is it so low ? or is a trouble here somehow??

Third, my phone status are:

Model Number

HTC Tattoo

Firmware Version

1.6

Baseband version

13.29.55.13H_3.35.07.20

Build Number

1.67.161.5 CL#74011 release-jeys

Software Version

1.64.161.5

So my fourth question for today is,

can i root and flash a custom rom in it?

'Cause i saw somewhere in this forum that not

all tattoos can be rooted and flashed... :confused:

Thanks in advance :)
[Click General] djhancks:
Also do i need a goldcard to root my htc tattoo?
[Click General] Bikers:
for google maps you need internet, for real gps try other program such as igo or andnav2... :-??

the question with the rom search the forum, especially the How to flash section...
[Click General] dejandekic:
Don't kill all tasks. Eg, if you kill clock, you have no alarms to wake you up. After all, RAM is invented to cache everything for fast access and to be full, not empty. What use of it if you don't use it :p

For flashing custom ROM questions, please search this forum.
[Click General] djhancks:
thanks a lot my friends for your advices, i ll search for it and never kill all tasks again :D

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pco.vaz:
Nice to hear.

How is the user experience? Can you actually do some work or is it the kind of stuf you show to your friends cause it's cool?

I mean I need rdp and I'm struggling to make a choice between the x10 (very nice price with my company's provider) or the Motorola Milestone (droid) at full price but with the nice hardware keyboard. I travel a lot and some times I really need to rdp a client's server and do some stuff, usually it's writing some sql queries in 15 min sessions. It would be great if I could leave the laptop at home and make do with an android phone.

In your experience, will rdp on the X10 be decent enough to get the job done ASAP and get back on the mojitos? ;)

everytime I try to update my ROM it says that it cannot open the necessary file and then I have to reboot the phone. Can someone help me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rabinhood:
Make sure the file name of ROM you're going to flash from SD card is RAPHIMG.NBH and that it is in the root folder. Also remember about installing hard-SPL mod. You can still upgrade firmware using Active Sync without taking care of ROM file name.
[General Questions and Answers] crodps:
Hi.

First poster here!

I wanted to get some help with this problem that I have.

I own a Gigabyte Gsmart MW700 phone running Windows Mobile 6 Pro at 520Mhz.

Every function in the phone was working fine, but recently there is something wrong with the camera when taking pictures and video.

I have a 4gb storage card in the phone that every other program accesses and uses. However, the camera just says that the "Storage space is not enough", even though there are about 2gb free in the card.

I have already copied all my files from the card to the computer and formatted the card with the same result. If someone has solved this, I would really appreciate their input.

Thanks!

Hi

I realize this question isn't xda specific but I didn't know where else to ask. Anyways you guys are always helpful.

just bought my desire today but I can't seem to find an option to create a document in quickoffice. I open up the program but it just says "no files found on sd card".

Now I don't believe that the program can only edit documents that I transfer onto it, that would be absurd.

Anyone got any clues on how to acheive creating a new file?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I was under the impression that no version of Quickoffice for Android could currently edit or create office documents - it's view only as far as I'm aware.

If you want to edit/create, you need DocumentsToGo.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] zippyioa:
It doesn't have the option I'm afraid.....

Check out documents to go on Android market. It's not free but I believe its on offer at the moment $14.99 I believe..... well worth the money :D

Ahhhh foxmeister you JUST got me there!
[Desire General] REB1:
QuickOffice is a read only application.

If you want to create/edit MS Office Docs, get Docs To Go (from the market). There's a free viewer and a paid-for app for creating and editing. I bought it recently for the promotional price of $14.99 (about £9.99 in the UK) - just checked and it's still on offer.

Edit: Looks like zippyioa beat me to it - though I believe the price is $14.99.
[Desire General] sikodemon:
Thankyou all for the info. Documents to go looks like the app for me. Very helpful.
[Desire General] loonybin0:
Sorry, I just got a new Kindle Fire, and after spending several minutes trying to figure out how to make a new document in QuickOffice (which comes standard and can't be removed),

Also, where are good places to shop aside from ebay?

Not yet but soon, we can enjoy straight updates from google, as they said they will try to reduce fragmentation, by allowing to update core features one by one, and not wait for all in one packages from manufacturers.

Hi there,

I've been trying to find a definitive answer for this some time now but I can't seem to find one.

Does android 2.1 support a japanese IME? If I use google it tells me this: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.1.html

Which means that there is a Japanese IME. Atleast there is one for devs... But when I get my HTC Legend from Europe will it also come with the IME and keyboard installed? I know that in case its not there are some keyboards on the market but what I've seen on it they don't seem to be that good. Or could a app like more locale trick anroid into displaying the keyboard?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ultimate Chicken:
If I remember correctly the japanese IME from the Japanese Magic set is floating about.

Do a search for iWnnIME. (Note: no font replacement necessary, the Droid Fallback font has Japanese inside)

Note that this does NOT fix a bug that's been around since 1.6 that affects your music player. The Android Media Scanner software doesn't handle non-English characters correctly, and hasn't done so for, um, ever.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sjaak1234:
Yes I found that site too. But it seemed I found a older article as the one I read before said you had to have a rooted device. Now the legend is also rooted but still... it wasnt when I first read it :p

I dont have my legend yet, it should be coming next week so I don't really understand what I have to do yet (I suppose I just have to boot the sdk app on the phone and type in the commands?) but I'm sure that will become more clear when I got the phone.
