[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tontonHD:
Hi there,

I have noticed that my phone has been acting weird lately. It does not charge as it should. I takes hours of charging just to reach 40% from 5%. the battery drains in about 4 or 5 hours of very light usage. I also charge it using the wall charger so it IS charging at full capacity. I have froyo flashed from the first day it was available and the problem started maybe yesterday~. Can anybody suggest some ideas??

Greatly appreciated!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] behelit:
check how many background services or amount of data usage in the background.

could be that your phone is using a lot of power.. so when you charge, it requires a lot more to compensate for the battery drain while charging.

have you installed many apps since flashing?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tontonHD:
I think I have figured out the problem. It had to do with the new radio. I flashed the radio that enomther uploaded and everything is back to normal.

I had very few applications and most of them don't even run in the background.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
Anyone know of a security app.. you know the type you can send a message to to lock the phone, delete data, or send back a msg with gps location.

The killer is ... i need one that can enable the gps ... last time i looked i couldnt find one.. I am rooted so that is not an issue.. but normally my gps is off so need one that can enable it.

thanks in advance/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Yoshilover:
Try Mobile Defense. As long as you install it as a root app it will allow it to enable gps
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nephron:
WaveSecure is the best one around. Can access your phone online. U can lock it, back it up, track it through the gps, and even do a full wipe to ur phone all through the web. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dailydR1ver:
+1 for mobile defense

I just recently intalled mobile defense and so far I really like it. With it, you can enable GPS (if rooted) to track it, send a message to the phone, lock the phone, and view details about the phone like remaining battery and wifi/data status. When sending a message you have the added option of a loud siren going off to make sure they get the message and requiring a PIN to turn off the siren if you want. Also, if some one removes your sim card and inserts their own you still have control of the phone. It also will tell you the details of the new sim card like their phone number and carrier via email.

If you intall MD as a system app it makes it unable to be uninstalled via the phones uninstaller programs and will not show up in the programs list. This can be done very easily because just today hah2110 released a zip that can be flashed with your custom recovery. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=689350

Wave secure is the only other full feature option that I know of, with the added benifit of being able to backup, restore, and wipe your data remotely. But, this comes at a $20/year subscription. I haven't tried WS personally but I hear good things about it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
dont seem to like either.. why do i need to goto their website to track a phone.. if i pay i just want to be able to get a txt message that shows location on google maps.

using wheres my droid for now in conjuntion with smartprofile which lets me send a message to turn on a profile which has gps enabled.

Why doesn't Darch just release his own rom then? kinda like how he did with the GSM hero?....
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
I agree

Andrizoid, It is ILLEGAL to include the Google Experience in cyanongen rom ports. Cyanogen HIMSELF received a Cease & Desist letter from the lawyers of Google. What you are doing could cause trouble for more than just yourself.

I just wanted to post this to backup Frameworks claims, as they are just. Andrizoid is a shady character with questionable values. I hope through these posts we can help you to understand that and help Andrizoid to change his thieving ways.

Andrizoid, you had this coming for a long time sir.

I once asked Andrizoid to stop stealing people roms, and at the very least give the devs credit for the work he was stealing. Well, he get upset and reported me to af.com (for what i dont know). Here is his PM to me

From Andrizoid:

i did report you

thats what happens when your a ****.

and if your really going to try and be a hard ass i think ill just flood you with messages.

(Apparently I am a "****" for asking him to stop stealing other peoples roms?)

=========================================

And Here is the "warning" from af.com

From Trident:

You have received an infraction at Android Forums

Dear LexusBrian400,

Please remember to be respectful to other members at all times. Next time, you will receive a permanent ban.

This infraction is worth 5 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire. Please review the rules thread before posting again:

Andrizoid, I know you could care less. But you need to stop misleading people like you do. In the beginning, I tried to help you, a lot. But now I regret it. You just cant get it through your head. STOP WALKING ALL OVER PEOPLE!

And now that I've learned that you are taking all of the donations, and not splitting them with darch (who really made the rom FOR YOU!), well... You're an even bigger jerk than I ever imagined. You've outdone yourself buddy. Bravo.

Have you noticed the Devs aren't too willing to give you help when you ask? Well these are the reasons why!

To the people running WW

-Stop donating to Andrizoid, he didn't do the dev work for it, and yet he STILL enjoys taking the credit.

-Go support a dev that does do the work themselves. You will get better roms, and better support with questions.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:
Because after the whole Froyo thing, people disliked him a bit.

So he didn't want to release it, being scared the whole thread would be full of "you're a troll". He is on our side now and most of us accept him in our community now thanks to how much he has helped :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Andrizoid:
Haters make me famous :)

you all certainly put a lot of effort into making me look bad.

ee2 i did edit. and i apologized afterwards.

i did not post the edited senseable, i pmed jamezelle with the files for him to decide what to do with

whitewidow is a port done by darchstar, as i said many times in the post. the kernel is from kaos, the same kernel you are using.

i have been asking for help so I could do the work, ask around, i repeatedly told socalspecialist that i wanted to learn how to do the things he was helping me with.

i came to the irc to get HELP, not a fix. then i realized your a jackass and left, got it partially worked out on my own.

i wasnt complaining that life was hard and i need all the donations i can get lmfao

i have never asked for donations, but the link is there if they want to help out.

the google apps thing was pointed out to me by darchstar, ill be addressing it in the next release.

sorry you rambled on so much i forgot the rest :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Andrizoid:
yes! darchstar didnt want to release it. for that reason he told me to release it with me name on it. thank you for backing me up on the framework.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Andrizoid:
5 dollar donation!

you guys really are making me famous.

darchstar would you like you split?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:
You did NOT apologize, you rudely posted things in reply to me.

You were ABOUT to release the as2d modification had jamezelle not said anything.You shouldn't release a rom if you don't know what you're doing AND Socal shouldn't have to write up something because you're to lazy to find it on google.You claim that Darch made the initial port and from there you made may changes, so that technically you could basically claim it as your own.Sorry doesn't work that way, you barely changed anything, congrats you can change a boot and add some apps, are you proud? :D

You can say whatever you'd like , but most things you type around here are huge lies.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Then Darch should absolutely release it. I have been trying his ROM out for the last day or so, completely under the assumption that this was his work for the most part and that he was updating to fix the bugs. This is very disappointing. I was hours away from giving a donation to Andrizoid for the work. I would much rather give my money (of which there isn't a ton of nowadays) to Darch just as I know when I give to Frame he appreciates it and is continually working to better his ROM's. If this is true and can be verified then he should be shut down now before he profits one more penny fraudulently. I would like to say he should weigh in here but the testimonials seem pretty overwhelming from pretty well respected devs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
You're just proving out point more and more with posts like that. You're a real piece of work kid.

Andrizoid,

I'm the most forgiving guy in the WORLD. But you just dont seem to get it.

I give up on you. Don't ever PM me again.

*Washes hands*
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stericson:
I think thats quite enough, this isnt going anywhere.

Flaming and bashing isn't tolerated, neither is fighting. I think the point about this individual has been made and we will leave it at that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Zeus:
This may be simple - but I'm stumped.

I set a satnav course using maps - all fine and worked as as it should.

But now everytime I open Maps - the course is still plotted out on the maps - just showing it on the map ( not going to Nav ).

How can I delete this route, so my maps go back to a clear map with no route on it.

Hope that makes sense:o

cheers :)

How to do that?

i'm pretty sure that is illegal. only the manufacturer can do it legally and its not a service they offer. its something they do if like they take back phones and refurb them and resell.

One reason in the US would be to trick AT&T into thinking the phone is a regular phone so you can get on the cheaper data plan.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jgcaap:
but that doenst work like that. At least in portugal, you have APN wich you configure to use one server on another. For instance a blackberry uses net2.vodafone.pt , if we change to internet.vodafone.pt it becomes cheaper the use of a blackberry . Just the client doenst know about it... I'm sure is same thing in the US unless is a CMDA company things must be a bit diferent (Dont know ever worked with that company).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] imake:
Yes,IMEI change is illegal but i just want to repair to the original.

Half year ago,I breaked my phone,then I sent it to a repairer.When it fixed,its IMEI has been changed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] silvertag:
You can't*... the reason is the imei is based on the phone motherboard. Since they, most probably, changed your motherboard in the repair shop you can't have the old imei as it's no longer that motherboard that is in your phone. You must live with the new imei from your new motherboard.

*Yes there are tools but changing imei is illegal in many states and countries.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] imake:
I found someone has the same IMEI,so I cannot paly world war game.This online game use IMEI to identify palyers.

By the way,in my country,change IMEI is not illegal,no one care about it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yearziro:
I have never heard of any company besides your manufacturer. Or provider having a legitimate reason to know or need your imei and there is a slim to zero chance you will be able to change your imei like everyone says the only reason to change your imei. Is to hide something
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shintokun:
There's really NO reason to change IMEI. just be happy with the new one. lol.

hey you guys, ive noticed that whenever i watch transformers 1 or 2 on my hd2 it plays fine then every 10 seconds or so it lags for like a second then starts running fine again, does anyone have a cab or fix or something to fix this issue? or does everyones hd2 do this? thanks
[HD2 General] VHAHONGRANTC:
The simple "fix" I have found is to watch the videos in the Windows Media Player. The playback is smooth with no hiccups. I also noticed this odd lag with TCPMP as well. I use Window Media Player for both music and Videos and have disabled the music tab too. Sure it is not as pretty as the HTC album or HTC music player, but the quality is good. :D
[HD2 General] xtralongleave:
Hmm, never seen nor heard about this.. TF movies should play uninterrupted with no skips or bumps. Perhaps try disabling any auto updates during viewing, close all other non-essential running applications, and run a cleanram sweep before playing movie. Shouldn't really have a problem after that, but if you do I recommend a hard reset.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
I haven't had any issues with TF. Make sure you don't have too many things running in the background. Also turn off auto updates for twitter, that always slows my phone down.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:

[Hero CDMA General] Tipharet:
I have been avoiding creating this thread but I have noticed something quite interesting. Right now I RUU 2.1 on my phone -- prior to that I was running Fresh.

One thing I have noticed is my phone tends to preform exponentially better when plugged up charging to the wall charger or connected to USB. I get basically zero lag.

When I unplug it and say open the task drawer its quite laggy and this is only one example. If I had another cam I would youtube this. Its something I have been noticing for a bit so I do doubt its placebo.

Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if any benchmarking apps would be useful in this situation?

Edit: Ugh typo in the poll!
[Hero CDMA General] lineman78:
I suspect there is a hardware flaw that causes some power issues when haptic feedback is being used. I draw this conclusion because programs that have had performance issues in the past, no longer have them as flipz has been removing the haptic feedback. Examples are the htc dialer, the vanilla lock and the keyboard.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
I almost wonder if there's a power management built into the system to allow the phone to run stronger/faster when it has an external power source attached to it vs when it is unplugged. Something laptop computers are configured to do... run at 100% power when plugged in and when unplugged/on battery, it lowers power consumption a bit so the battery lasts longer.

Pretty much in agreement with this, never used a case or a screen protector on my N1 yet (had it since mid-january) and I've got one small scratch. Dunno what caused it, but compared to what I usually put my phone through it's probably a stone or some sharp metal that caused it.
