[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sajhe:
Im tired of not being abled to use my wiimote to play emulator games etc.

So im asking what in your opinion is the best Rom for the desire without Sense activated?

1+ for link to the latest version download :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycfrankduran:
IMHO AdamG's OpenDesire 3.0.1 is the best right now until the official FROYO is released.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregounech:
Cyanogen Mod 6 RC1.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sajhe:
Doesnt that come with sense?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jagdish84:
He got both vanilla and sense flavoured roms :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audipete:
It don't look like it comes with sense to me or would have flashed it to my phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycfrankduran:
Nope, as a matter of fact when you first install it, it says welcome to Nexus One! I've been using it since he uploaded it and it is awesome, blazing fast and you can OC.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danifamous:
I personally like the Defrost rom by Richardtrip. very fast and clean.

Is IMHO very good with launcherpro. I hear that the cyanogen is bundled with fantastic features, but I dont plan to change from DeFrost until a OCUV comes out for the 2.2 sense
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sajhe:
Sounds pretty ****ing awsome :D.

As i havent rooted my phone before and you seem like a helping guy (no i know where the guide is, i dont need help with that) How does uppdating the root work? do i need to reflash the new image every time a new uppdate comes?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycfrankduran:
Just download rom manager from the market once you root and it has a feature to check for updates on the rom your using. Does eveything automatic, easy as pie;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.r9:
Try set rom. If I want to leave Sense i'll use it without thinking.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alstrike:
I think I´m gonna ditch Sense. I´m fed up with it´s stupid dialer, the contacts widget and the slopoke SMS app.

Plus it´s kind of laggy. The only thing I like is the weather widget.

Any weather widgets out there? Nice ones I mean.

Thanks

P.S. I quite like the OpenDesire one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clivectmob:
The prettiest weather widget is fancy widget, do a search on here for the APK as its not on the market. It's exactly like the sense one, and opendesire 301 is by far the most complete vanilla android in my opinion
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alstrike:
OpenDesire 3.0.2 just went live!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clivectmob:
I'm on 3.0.2 now, the best just got better :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdy2go:
OpenDesire and DeFrost are the best ROMs Imo.

For the weather buy beautiful weather widget. It's more customizable and even prettier than HTC weather.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KBanause:
Are you using the "Beatiful Widgets"?

A lot of people are complaining about FC since the last update.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The best non-sense ROM is CyanogenMod 6.0.0 RC1 :). It has so many functions that make the user experience so much better.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warpyau:
I thought OpenDesire was HTC Sense enabled?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdy2go:
There are two editions: one compiled from sources without sense and one with sense. Two separate threads here on xda.

After rooting I can easily get /system with root explorer. But how can I dump the kernel?

In another thread I learned the kernel is located in /dev/block/bml4. What's the method to dump it?
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
Anyone else noted that Bluetooth seems to crash some times, like yesterday while driving.

In the middle of a conversation, my X10 associated to my Volvo, just stopped the conversation.

When I looked at the phone, bluetooth was off, and it COULD NOT be enabled again!

So, I had to restart the phone to make it work again... :(

Im running 026 with root, but have seen this problem pre-root too, it has happened 4-5 times within the last 3-4 months.

So what I wonder is this, is there a way to enable debugging or core dumping on the phone ?
[XPERIA X10 General] luisalhosilva:
The same thing with my Renault. It restart often. But turned 3g off and os better.

Needs urgent upgrade.

I am using 24ba
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
I have had the same problem with my MW600 headset too, it lost the contact (0.5 metres away) with the phone and could not be reconnected.

This was on a rooted 024.

I had to restart the phone to make it work again.

Must be more than 2 persons having this issue...
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
I'm having this problem with an unrooted x10i with the 026 firmware using the Wii controller, also had this issue with the 016 firmare.

The 020 firmware seemed o.k though as I played DKCountry for about 30 minutes with no issues.
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
Omg, the wifi and the bluetooth don't work in the same time.... :(

I have a similar issue, my 024 rooted reboots everynow and then, but only when connected to my cars bluetooth.

It did it before rooting as well.

[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
Anyone know a way to create a desktop shortcut (icon) that executes a terminal command (like dmesg >/sdcard/dmesg.txt ).

Some kind of android script perhaps (does android have scripting capability?) ?

Would be nice to be able to easily save the message log after a bluetooth crash, like the one I had again today, in my car... :|
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
sorry, double post..
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
I succeded to do a dmesg when the bluetooth crashed.

These lines might have something to do with the problem:

<3>[54935.146661] msm_datamover_irq_handler id 11, status 20000002

<3>[54935.146734] msm_datamover_irq_handler id 11, error, result 80000008, flush0 c203

[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
I was having this problem with the Wii remote.

on the 020 firmware I had no issues though, with the 026 firmware it crashes about 10 minutes after pairing the wii remote.

I have to restart the phone otherwise it doesn't go to sleep and the battery drains quick and bt just doesn't reconnect.

I think its caused by ADW. I just played Donkey Kong Country for about 30 mins with no issues but using Helix launcher.
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
I sent the message log from the phone to SE, this their reply:

(Out of luck with my new Volvo, perhaps I should start using my P990i...)

Dear Matti,

Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Contact Center.

We've heard about this problem from a few customers and unfortunatly it looks like the handsfree in the car is not fully compatible with Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Volvo does not list this as a compatible phone on their webpage either: http://www.volvocars.com/uk/sales-services/sales/volvo-accessories/bluetooth/pages/default.aspx.

We have reported the issue but can unfortunatly not say when or if this can be solved by Sony Ericsson.

Best regards,

/Rickard

Buy another phone, simples

I already have a few...... (I hope you did not intend to call me simple ?)
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
Yeah i got that with my nokia kit too lol. My way around was a cassette adaptor plugged into the stock mic lead they send. I have a vw with a 6disc cd plus tape deck. Useful i guess. **** service tho
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
This blame someone else, I had the same problem with my Audi and Xperia X1/SE P990i too.

There seems to be no use to get nice features/options in the car, because there seems to be no way for the car manufacturers to catch up with the phone manufacturers.

My Audi A4 supported some old SE, Nokia and Siemens (?) phones, that was a 2007 model.

So perhaps its best to just use a headset.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johndani:
Hello!

I'm a happy user of the Desire and have recently flashed to a new ROM. App2SD is something which has been very helpful for me. But I would like to have some apps on the internal instead of the SD Card.

Is this possible? To move an app from EXT3 partition to internal? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
My battety lost One percent in one till ten minutes. I alrrady tried to delete the batterystats but it doesnt help. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
Were you doing anything on the phone, when it droppped 1% in 1 to 10 minutes?

regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Nope. Even in offline mode it drops that fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
You tried restarting the phone? I'd prolly try a factory reset after that if nothing changes. Other than that I have no ideas.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
I tried restarting, different firmwares, flashing back to stock rom with nandroid. Nothing helped...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
How old is the device, and how many times did you charge it 'till now?

I'm on my 4th day since last charge, and standing at 43%.

In anthing battery related, this phone is god.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] venkatramanv:
Hey hi,

I know is frustrating.. but I think we can fix it ;) ..

First we have to figure out what is taking the charge on your batteries.

First check if wifi or bluetooth is turned on. If yes turn it off.

Bring down the brightness of your screen

go to WIFI Settings and turn off the network notification

install Advanced task manager from Market and see the background application. Some might be running as default. But kill all for safer side.

When ever you open an application it stays on the memory u have to kill it using that tool.

OR

IF nothing worked jump into an other firm ware update. I have this android 2.2 i9000xxjp3 Its working very smooth :) But its an beta version. I am quit fine with that ;) ..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
I already did this. And nothing helped.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
Similar to my thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730302&page=2

Autokiller does not have any effect. I uninstalled all task managing sh*** and I can't find any significant difference.

However, I found after 5 charging cycles it was better than before (now 2/3 day instead of 1/2 day).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] venkatramanv:
okay that's nice 2 know ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
I got eleven hours... Will see if ut gets better after some cycles. But i rly think its a battery or phone defect.

Hi i just did a battery test on 10 mins of wifi browsing battery drop from 65 and now 60 with 45 pages. Can someone do a similiar test to compare cause i think mine also a flaw set from samsung thnx in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tanis64:
How old is your SIM Card?

I know some old cards can drain battery hardly cause there is no power saving implementet, newer have better power management.

Maybe the card is defective. If you can, make a test with adiffetent SIM Card.

Send from my GT-I9000 (I9000XXJF3) using XDA App
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
The other day, My battery was pretty low, less than 10%. I checked battery usage, and everything was okay. But I made 10 mins of call, and that used 23% of the battery, and that's from a full charge O_o; :confused:

EDIT: current usage stats, from a 100% charge to 31% battery left.

13h 36m since unplugged

Display 31%

Cell standby 20%

Phone idle 14%

Maps 12%

Android System 7%

Voice calls 4% - Time on is 1m 32s. 70/100 = 0.7. 0.7*4 = 2.8%. 1m 32s = 92s. 2.8/92 = 0.0304... *60 = 1.826

So, 1.826% of the battery is used for each minute of voice calls, which means a full charge would last for around 55 mins of talk time. WTF

EDIT 2: I'm using stock European ROM, XXJF3(?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagingaa:
Do you guys have power saving enabled on the LCD?

I too experienced similar problems with my battery, a single charge did not last more than 17 hours tops. However, since last charge now I have had it running for almost 48h. So what changed?

- I moved to a better coverage area for 3g, but having only 2g on didn't make a difference.

- I disabled powersaving on the LCD

- I uninstalled the widget "Weather from yr"

- I did a full depletion + charge with the phone OFF

After doing this my battery improved tenfold. While I before when checking "Battery History" in *#*#4636#*#* secret menu I had about 80% Running time. THis is now down to 18%. There was nothing before or now in partial wake, which led me to believe that my phone was actually never quite asleep.

So, try what I did, and see if that fixes your problem, it did that for me!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
I'll try it. Yes, i rly have a very old sim card. I think i get a new one when my contract renews on a other carrier. Maybe it helps. Thanks fou your help guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Robin.B:
1 percent in 10 minutes means absolutely nothing. Does your battery fall from 100 to 0 in 16 hours after doing NOTHING on the phone? (equivalent of 1 percent every 10 minutes.) Try this a few times. Check what's using the battery the most. Remember that with any smartphone on the market right now, the more you use the display, the considerably less battery time you will have; so 16 hours on one charge is completely normal if, say, you have 2 hour display on time throughout the day. it's not realistic to expect any better, and don't believe people who say they can go a full 2 days with moderate/heavy use - this really isn't possible unless you have turned off literally everything, in which case it stops being heavy use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PsiIion:
Last time I was checking I had 34 hrs and 11% used for standby. Then I used GPS with screen on full brightness, had it set to WCDMA only with very bad coverage, was taking images and filming, watching video and surfing. I had no taskkiller or juice defender.

I easily get 48 hrs with a bit more moderate use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XQC:
Maybe you could enlighten us what your settings are.

My phone lasts no longer than 16 hours. But I also have Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth and Push Mail enabled most of the time and always 3G enabled (because otherwise I would have no use for a smartphone really).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Robin.B:
Well, you have the same phone, they both have the same battery, they are both relatively new. If we put the phones side by side and did the same things on them are you really saying your phone lasts for twice as long as mine? REALLY? I'm sorry but through a day of what I would call "moderate" use, battery is uncomfortably low after at most 24-28 full hours (down to around 5%) and this seems to be the case with not just most galaxy S owners but pretty much every smartphone owner - it's very difficult to get the battery to last longer than 24 hours with "moderate" use.

What's your display use time at the end of those 48 hours you have the phone running for?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PsiIion:
I don't use WiFi, and only have the GPS and BT on when I use it. I have email and rss reader syncing.

I was using only WCDMA, so 3G not only enabled but forced.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the battery drain is 70% from the screen

my old HTC Athena has the same issue, because it's a large 5" screen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PsiIion:
I really would have expected about half the usage compared to what I'm getting, so I'm equally surprised as you are.

I have not been keeping tabs all the time of my percentages, the one time I did let it go fully down was the time I mentioned when I had 34 hrs. I have been up to over 48 hrs without going to 0%, but then I was not doing more than a bit of surfing and some calls in that time. I usually charge it before it gets below 50%.

Like I said, when I had 34 hours my standby was 11%. GPSCompassMap was over 20% and the screen around 60%.

I'm not the only one reporting great battery times. Here is an example of 84 hours with what I would call moderate use:

http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-full-battery-test-ready-–-up-with-the-best/

There is a breakdown of exactly what they used the phone for in that time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Screen on: 28 minutes.

Running: 38 minutes

Time since unplugged: 1 hour 20 minutes

Is it normal that the phone is more running than the display is on or men it that my phone has a problem with standby?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dannyboyp:
I have high battery drain 70+ from the screen, even with the low brightness setting?

This was not always the case! I was on firmware jm2 with ext3 sd fix and my battery life was excellent, but i upgraded to ext4 sd fix (doing a factory reset before hand then re doing sd fix the process) and the battery sucked balls..... now on jp3 2.2 i have the same super battery drain which according to the android battery stats is because of the screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheCarl:
Sometimes i have noticed that the screen wont turn itself off and go to sleep. This has happened several times after using my phone as alarmclock.

The time since unplugged resets when you reboot your also. That confused me a little bit before i knew about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
used jf3 and jm2 and in both firmwares i have experienced 70% battery drain from the creen. compared to my milestone which was much less around 40-50%. makes me wonder how energy-saving SAMOLED really is...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
One of two things:

Either you have a defect.

Or, and my guess, you have too small a sample size. Make a 20-40 minute phone call, when the battery is nearly full, you'll see a much different picture or have proof there is a problem. There are two potential issues with your sample, just bad rounding and/or a higher battery usage scenario for placing/ending a call than actual "talk" usage. I get much more time from my usage with the phone.

Samsung's quoted numbers would be way too far off if you didn't have an issue at play in case two, therefore you'd need to look into a replacement if you make a long call as a test.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
If I am using the screen, like I unplug and then play a game or browse I definitely experience 70% drain from the display. After idling and not using the phone as intensely it starts to go way down from 70%, mostly my average is 40-50% of battery drain from display usage, but I use moderately conservatively when I'm not actively surfing/gaming for 1-3 hours a day.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
I think my battery is corrupt...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Because nothing helped and today my battery jumped from 72 percent to 51 in a second after an unwanted reboot but maybe it recalibrated the battery. Will see it after charging.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
The same problem like before...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Minister can help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
I have the exact same problem!!!

My phone is draining the battery on standby. Last time I had along the lines of

25% Display

40% Phone Idle (wtf)

30% Cell standy

I just don't get it and it's driving me crazy. The phone just drains the battery on idle. I deactivated every sync / push / update possible, still the same.

I'll try removing weather from yr, maybe that's the issue
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Maybe i should try to get a replacement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eeney:
I'm sure someone has already posted this already, but you may find that although you think your phone is in standby it's actually not 'sleeping', an app or service may be keeping it awake, meaning that when you think it's idle, it's actually chewing through battery.

I had this initially with a couple of app, which I have since uninstalled. I was loosing 40% battery overnight. To resolve my problem I followed the instructions HERE. Although I just did it at ten minute intervals, and I'm using Battery History as opposed to 'spare parts', it's like a cut-down version. I actually ended up doing a factory reset and then re-installing apps one by one, and changing settings one-by-one until I found the culprits. The problem for me was two-fold, a profiles app was constantly polling my GPS and eating battery, plus whilst autosync was turned off my Exchange Sync was still trying to connect, both stopping the phone from 'sleeping'.

Once I fixed the problems I install a task killer, but am now using 'Auto Memory' instead which I think basically works like the Android memory management but lets you make it more aggressive.

I now get a couple of days with autosync on push To test, last night I turned off autosync and mobile data, in 10 hours it used only 1% battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
But it even eats battery when i turn apn and wifi off. But i will try it and see if it helps. But i think not because even the stockrom eats that much battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
My wifi dont turn off when i turn the screen off though i have activated the setting that it should turn off. Any one experience the same or can help me?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Theres a real easy way to prove if there is something wrong with the battery or if the stock firmware is eating it up, do a hard reset on the phone by keying in *2767*3855#* , then charge the phone to 100% battery leave it there w/o a SIM CARD or MICROSD, go ahead and leave the phone on the home screen w/o setting up ANYTHING at all. leave the phone idle for 12-24hrs and see the battery level and usage after.. then conclude.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Homescreen on or off?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
This stats are meaningless by themselves. Without more information, these numbers are fine, yes 40% seems very high, but if you aren't using the phone then it's idle. So, let's say since you've unplugged 12 hours ago you've lost 4% of your battery.

25% display = 1%, from approx 10 minutes of using

40% phone idle = 1.6% from 10 hours of idle

30% phone standbye = 1.4% standby

The phone doesn't have an infinite standby & idle life, so you have to get battery drain. The lower the display percentage just means that you aren't a heavy user of the display, and other numbers will look more out of balance, but you should be getting better battery life as a result of that.

Charge to 100% and post more complete numbers if you want better analysis.

Percentage of battery start (when unplugged)/finish (current)

Display time on (click the display % to see the details) and do the same with the other categories.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Can anybody help with the problem that wifi dont turn off when the screen is off? Settings are correct.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
After a full flash the problem seems gone! Dont know what app it was or even the kernel fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
And the problem is back. Same apps as yesterday. Same city. Same settings. Same coverage.
