[Vibrant General] IDtheTarget:
I noticed that when I changed my email settings from "push" to "check every 15 minutes", that my battery life improved. Also, when I started turning off my wifi unless actively using it. That last is annoying, because I didn't have to do that with my old iPhone, it just knew when to "sip" power...
[Vibrant General] hah2110:
Has your environment changed? Was the phone in a pocket when losing more battery or outside in the heat? Being in a pocket DESTROYS your battery.
[Vibrant General] jesse_wildcat:
I've had AMAZING luck with my battery life... I dunno if I'm just lucky, or what, but my battery life has been BEYOND what I could possibly ask for..
[Vibrant General] mveksler:
All the battery issues are from bad GPS bug.

The problem is that in Location and Privacy you have two options: Enable Wireless Network so that your location can be determined in other applications (i.e. Google Search, etc) However, when you enable it, it says it will run in the background constantly even through you are not using any applications that require it. Because of the GPS bugs and issues the phone constantly taxing CPU by trying to find sats and determine your location. The battery problem was solved for me by turning off Wireless network and use Satelite in Location and Privacy settings. Now, with heavy use, I get good 20~ hours. Also, the brightness is at fault here too. In most cases the brightness is set to 50% even in well lit places. This drains battery. Just turn off the auto light adjustment and set it to zero and increase when you need it. There is a quick shortcut by swiping your finger on top of the screen inside notification bar. No MAGIC or being LUCKY or UNLUCKY ;-).

Simply people have different settings enabled and thus have different battery performances.
[Vibrant General] Bugdog:
My battery life is pretty good - I unplugged 10 hours ago and am at 35%. A couple of phone calls, 8-10 sms, checking Twitter and FB, multiple emails, and a little bit of browsing - no games or downloads. Wifi on most of the day, GPS on all day, brightness about 50%.

Maybe mveksler ^ is right about it being GPS related - my GPS works pretty well, and my battery life has been pretty good for the two days I've had the phone, which includes a lot of playing around with my new toy ;-)
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
I don't understand how people are getting such great battery life. I am on my third (!) Vibrant and on all three I get 5-6, maybe 7 hours with low-medium usage. (GPS off - unless I use it for a little while - WiFi off, no live wallpaper, brightness on automatic, etc.)
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Crappy cell reception and using 3G and Wifi will kill your battery.

I know recently Facebook came out with an update that killed my battery fast.
[Vibrant General] mveksler:
The trick with GPS is not to turn off GPS from the task bar. it will only turn off Sat based GPS. You have to go into settings Location and Security and check off Use Wireless networks. This feature is constantly taxing GPS in the background even no applications are running.
[Vibrant General] mveksler:
Not true. I have WIFI always on never turn it off even when i am outside.

Reception in the building where i work is bad, i get E and almost no bars.

With my latest setting discovery I get 20 hours, playing music with plugged headphones all day, frequent browsing texting etc.

Before i turned off auto brightness and turned off all GPS based settings I was getting 5-6 hours.
[Vibrant General] hah2110:
See my quote below... What is your environment? Where do you keep the phone?
[Vibrant General] drgnclwk:
So what is it about being in the pocket that kills the battery?

Is it extra heat or something?
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Typically sitting around my room. In my pocket too, but not too long. Why would putting phone in pocket kill battery? Unless, of course, you are implying pocket = extra heat.
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
I've been pretty impressed with the battery life on my Vibrant. Coming from my G1 running 1.6 and getting about as good battery as the best G1s I'd heard about, I'll say the Vibrant is miles better. I can't say exactly how much I get, because I often plug my phones into power when I'm driving around town for work, but I've been USING my Vibrant way more than my G1 throughout the day and activities that would have quickly killed my G1 (web browsing, camera/video, streaming music) barely put a dent in the battery status on my Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] hah2110:
Yes... Being in your pocket or being outside in the heat will most certainly hurt your battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] smithisize:
Ok, so I know some programs require you to install them over activesync. This is annoying for many reasons, most prominant of which is the fact that I'm always updating ROMS and as soon as I do that, I need to re-install them all.

So, how can I turn those applications into a nice cab to use with XDA_UC?

Thanks!

Smith
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] smithisize:
No answer? Ok lol. Well, I know that the app I have in mind places an autorun folder and all those files onto my SD card. Could I just place those into XDA_UC?

Thanks

Smith
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sergio2007:
Run the app on your desktop, but do not connect your device. This will create a cab file in the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync

Grab the cab and transfer it to your device.

The stock root rom is still a rooted rom. Are you looking to un-root or just get back to stock rom from whichever custom rom you are on now?

If you want to stay rooted, but not run a custom rom follow this thread:

[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
I think the question is really "Are you using a stock or non-stock rom", as that's what it boils down to.

Froyo's implementation works well enough for me, particularly once more programs flip that bit to allow SD installs. Until then I just change install location to 2, move apps, then change it back to 0 so installs go to the "right place" by default. I'd rather do that than have broken apps that can't run off of the SD card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N_Jones:
Ok first off new to this business........ Just rooted yesterday. All seemed to go well. i used the simpleroot tool. I'm pretty sure I got full acess since I get the # in a shell.

Anyway here is the issue. new radio, new rom ( I have tried both CM and Fresh) currently have Fresh installed and working. However I have not been able to flash the new wimaxx.

I have tried with both Clockwork and Amon_Ra recovery.

Flash radio - Successful

Flash rom - Successful

Flash wimax - get this error E: Multiple firmware images, E: Can't store zip image, Installation Aborted

Any help here would be appriciated.

The only question I might have is with RA recovery when I tried to wipe the SD ext partition it told me I need to do that with adb.

Thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidDhakan:
After flashing rom. Reboot. It will then install the RADIO. Radio installation requires one more extra step after flashing. Once thats done. Load into Android. Then go back in recovery then flash the WIMAX.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
+1 the above I use Ra and flashed both just fine.

Ok so I thought phone was just gradually lagging.

So I factory reset and all was well.....until I put dolphin back on.

Turns out lots of sv users have had this issue when I checked other forums.

Please delete if this is a repost, just thought I would let you all know.
[Vibrant General] k4ylr:
Interesting problem. I've been using Dolphin HD and haven't noticed any performance decreases at all in speed (over WiFi since no 3G in my immediate area) or general actions.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Same here, I've had absolutely no issues at all with Dolphin. I actually like the browser a lot, especially the tabs!
[Vibrant General] Classie83:
Have no problem with dolphin causing lag.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant

RIP my beloved rooted G1
[Vibrant General] Argusi:
I had a similar issue. It didn't cause the phone to lag, but after a few days, dolphin itself started being extremely slow. Deleting cache didn't help. Install reinstall didn't work either. I finally took it off and later noticed the cache directory was still there so I tried to delete it. It wouldn't so I took a look. It appeared that some of the files were corrupt. The names were nonsense. ls did didn't even deal with them well. I couldn't get rid of them. Don't know if it was dolphin itself or a file system hiccup. I have reset the phone since then, but have not reinstalled. Check the dolphin cache directory and see if you have similar. I think it is on the internal sd with tunnybrowser in the directory name.

P.S: I was looking through ##debug on the phone and on the evdo programming tab it has the old ip address and maybe thats the issue ... how would i change that?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
I am noticing after I installed a number of games and some apps from the market shows that the smooth movements during swipes changes to a bit of stutters.

Mainly I am noticing this in the home screen when I wipe to scroll through the number of home screens it was not smooth as before-i can spot minor stutters, not smooth as cake!

Is it only me or this can be overcome?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
That's what I found too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
This is what I found too.

From my observation, I am thinking that a lot of Android's applications on the market are:

1. poor quality with very little QC by Google. Google may be too focus on releasing as much application as possible to catch up with iphone rather than quality.

2. request too much permissions from the user, such as full internet access, running in the background etc etc. A lot of applications that don't necessary need these permissions are asking for it anyway and I don't know why they needed it.

3. this last point is my PURE speculation, so do correct me if I am wrong. Most applications are ad-support, they needed to download ads to show on your phone. That means each application on your phone that are ad-supported need to connect to a server somewhere. I don't know how google manages ads, but I sure hope that it doesn't allows these applications to connect to different ads server in the background.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
i found this slightly too, doesnt the new firmware updates (unofficial) and the lag fix (putting the apps in the nand) fix this though?

im still waiting for samsung to give me the update, wont be waiting much longer though
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I think you just wrote the last sentence in a confusing manner. I think your point is "I sure hope it doesn't allow these applications to connect to ad servers in the background", if so I'm with you.

However, if you mean it the way I interpreted the more direct writing of the post. (disclaimer: I also don't know how they handle ads), but I think that more than just admob exists as a service for developers to use, and if that's the case and they do allow any connection in the background...then I think some would have to connect to different servers since the ads would be hosted by different hosting services (admob, company x, company y). All that said, Admob does (just about?) every ad I see that I happen to look at the host of.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I experience 0 lag during homescreen scrolling.

I use LauncherPRO, in advanced settings I have "High quality scrolling" enabled (Keeps high quality graphics while scrolling, but reduces performance) and then in Advanced Settings subsection "memory usage present" I have "Use homescreen caches" (creates caches of your homescreens for smoother scrolling" checked. I have over 150 programs. 7 homescreens, though 2 are at least half blank, but I have 5 rows of icons on each screen (20% more icons to slow me down).

LauncherPRO typically uses up 20-25MB of memory for me due to my settings. If you don't have it, check it out. If you have it, look into your settings to optimize performance.

I have changed the rom twice on my touch hd.Two different ones'black dragon and Stonehenge'But every time,after a few days when I go to soft reset it,for some reason,it will not boot up again and I have to hard reset it,to get it to work again.

Any ideas what this could be caused by??

Same Problem

I am having the same problem.

I am on Dutty Holly Grail R0 right now.

But I have been using Dutty´s Roms for long time and there was no problem. Now, no matter which Rom I flash, after some days I get this problem that makes me hard reset.

I don´t think it´s a Rom problem but I haven't figured yet.

[G1 Android Development] jgro1976:
Hey,

First, I searched, but couldn't come up with anything directly matching or related to this.

So I rooted my friends phone, I'm not a newbie at this, did mine and my roommates as well, gave him the 1.33.2005 Haykuru SPL, the newest radio 2.22.23.02, loaded Super E's 1.0.3 rom, and it loaded up fine, he was able to sign into google and it started to sync his phone, contacts, etc, I was even able to install an app from the market, but then his connection just stopped.

I'm going to go over it tomorrow with a fine toothed comb to make sure I didn't miss anything, but one of the things I did was AFTER loading 1.33.2005 I THEN loaded the 2.22.23.02 radio (he already had the 26i radio). This didn't change anything.

So I'm going to check all of his settings, and he can connect to the web/market through wi-fi, but is there any particular reason why he wouldn't be able to connect via the network? This is a MT3G 1.0.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:
You should of flashed the new radio first then the Danger SPL
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
This is not true. I updated the same exact way that he described. 26I to Death SPL and then to the newer radio.

Missing the 3g connection is some unknown anomilly of rooting our phones...I have lost my 3g connection a number of times and it would always come back eventually (24 hours to 48 hours) on its own. No amount of wiping and flashing will bring it back (in my experience).

Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] jgro1976:
Thanks G1, that's kind of what I was hoping for. I knew it wasn't bricked, since the rom loaded and everything works via wi-fi.

I'll see how he's doing today.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I suppose whoever wrote that isn't aware that its perfectly safe to flash the latest radio after the Death SPL. Its how most of us who were already on the 26I radio and Danger SPL ended up on the latest radio...

19.26I ---Death SPL---- 23.02
[G1 Android Development] gs63:
you could just fast boot erase system and then re flash the Rom

Hey I have part0 scaled down to 320 x 480. It took about an hour or so to do so I just took and resized all images from part1 to 320 x 320 and combined everything into a .gif file, but I could not get it to display when I booted. I tried using an xml file and also desc.txt.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
same here only it only took about 10 minutes. check this out to resize multiple images very quickly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMedfr6PgTw i'm trying to find out why its not working just showing up black. I know when i made other boot animations with the animated gif i had to send to gimp and de-optimize then save again for it to show. I'm going to try with this too but hadn't really messed with the bootanimation.zips too much.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
Yeah, I used a program to resize all of the ones in part1, which I didn't think about until after manually changing part0. I was getting a black screen when I tried placing the images in a ROM and resigning and flashing, deleting everything in the media folder and pushing the bootanimation.zip to /system/media and also tried using flipz codes for the boot animation and using a gif. I'm going to try something else now. Hopefully someone gets it working..

Also, I made the gif go all the way through and then go in reverse which looks a lot better than repeating from the beginning
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
Nice, i'm still trying to figure out why the go black. I'll let you know what i find.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
Any word? I haven't been able to mess with it today.Maybe tonight.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
i been messing with it can't figure out why yet, have pseudo looking into it as well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
ok found that the desc has size parameters which may be why showing up black when we resize.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
Here you go. This is scaled down to fit on our screen

This one is flashable: DroidX_boot_Signed

This one needs to be pushed to /system/media. Do not unzip it: Droid X Bootanimation

Whenever you are zipping the bootanimation, the compression level needs to be set to store. That is why we were getting black screens.

Here is what the desc.txt should look like

320 480 10

p 1 0 part0

p 1 0 part1

but it may look like this

320 480 10p 1 0 part0p 1 0 part 1

Here is what it means

320 & 480 ARE WIDTH AND HEIGHT; 10 IS FPS

p 1 0 part0 the 1st number is repeat; the 2nd number is pause; part0 is the folder

p= I don't know

repeat= 1 is no repeat; 0 is repeat (pertains to the images in the folder on that line)

pause= time in seconds to pause after finishing the images in the specified folder

folder= name of folder to get images from

Edit:I had 2 as repeat, but it should be 0
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skndeep102:
Flashable zip worked and looks great. How would I go about adding "Droid" mp3 to the bootanimation.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skndeep102:
I actually had it already just took some digging to find it. Its in this zip.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skndeep102:
Actually I think that you can only add sound to boot animations in the gif xml format.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
I have to go to sleep. I'll get it in the morning.

Dude this looks so sweet... can't wait for the sound... great job to all...... again great job..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
NICE MAN! Thanks for finding the problem.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
I looked into it and I think you can put it in with pngs, but it has to be renamed. I tried rezipping the bootanimation.zip with an mp3 in there and I got the black screen again. I ended up going to sleep, but maybe sdotcarlisle or I can get it working.

sdotcarlisle: Once you push the bootanimation.zip to your phone type in adb shell bootanimation with your screen on and you will see if it worked
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
Try this.

UNZIP the "android_audio.zip" file, put the audio file in your sdk/tools folder Then adb push to /data/local/

if that doesnt work push both uncorrupteds zip and the audio to /data/local
