[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecklbrg:
I had a rooted EVO, but I had to unroot because I was spending too much time messing around with the phone and not enough time studying for the bar exam...

Anyways, now I am running a stock 1.47 w/ the radio, etc....everything works perfectly (4g, etc, etc). However, when I boot into bootloader and go to the stock EVO recovery, it has this error on the bottom:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

I just want to make sure that when I decide to root again next week, that this won't give me any problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopDawg:
What do you think it would take to create a rooted PC36IMG with the radios and stuff rooted. Even if there is a newer rev early next week, it would be great to get the process lined up.

Whitslack hasn't been on in a while, I think had a solid base line for recovery. I still use his images / methods to recovery from a total face plant.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
There's an OMJ rom with the radios included. You can install that and then make a nandroid backup for reverting later on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFileHost:
Anyone know of a stock froyo PC36IMG for the evo. when i applied the 1.47 pc36img it messed mine up somehow and i cant get usb to work so i cant root my phone or charge it when its on. Need my phone rooted to fix the usb and use adb but until theres a new RUU PC36img im stuck. Tried the froyo update to see if that would help but now my phone just reboots every 30 sec so i have no phone.

If i just had usb :(
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Well, I know that most ROMs claim to have better battery life and yada, yada, yada. But which one do you believe is the winner? I have only tried Fresh other than stock and I can't complain. But for you, which one do you feel offers the best battery life performance?!

Thanks in advance...
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I got great battery life in DamageControl, but I dumped that for CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G General] devin.slick:
This may not be the exact answer you were looking for, but I've found that using an underclocking kernel I get great battery life, even with the latest cyanogen nightly. You might want to try using SetCPU if you haven't done that already.
[EVO 4G General] Doofenshmirtz:
DamageControl

DamageControl v3.2.3 using DConfig with the profile set to battery Saver. My battery last for days (moderate use).
[EVO 4G General] gangsterholla179:
I believe t0ast3d de1ight has the best battery
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
All very subjective but I've been reading that Baked Snack is specifically geared towards battery life.
[EVO 4G General] ILYCyAnOgEn:
like above poasts state, rom does not matter, undervolt kernal + setcpu/phone setting settings does
[EVO 4G General] amirborna:
cm heavy usage > 18 hours regular use 36 hours idle for days
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
Best I had was baked snack 9. 7 I got al most 24 hours on a charge with normal usage

Ava 2. 2v3 I. Got 18 hours

Cm6 barely 8 hours

sent with my evo from a secret place
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I second this. I was using this setup before updating to official 2.2. I was getting about 5-6 hours of usage(I.e. When you're actually using your phone--Screen on browsing the web, using apps) plus around 20 hours of "Uptime" (standby, screen off).

I am getting equal or better battery life with the official 2.2 update. I am surprised I'm not seeing more people mention just how good battery life is with it.
[EVO 4G General] deepnoizer:
BakedSnack with 3rd kernel did miracles for me
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I also have been having good battery life on the official pre-release, just about on par with what I had running baked snack 9.6, which underclocked a good amount for battery life. Very pleased with the new release, I haven't had any problems going from a fresh wipe to this update.

I would bet most people haven't really noticed how good the battery life has been because they've been busy trying to restore backups, apps, and test out the camera functionality.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Best battery life I had was DC 3.2.3 with Battery config, SetCPU w/ undervoltage kernel, JuiceDefender, and Autostarts configed. Got about 26 hours moderate usage. I still get excellent battery life using the same setup on CM6, around 20-24 hours.
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
I'm getting great battery life with the leaked, stock 2.2 :)
[EVO 4G General] DanBergundy:
I think it is almost impossible to prove a rom has the best battery life when there are so many options/tweaks that can be done to every rom and all phones won't necessarily act the exact same.

Choose a rom based on functionality and features that appeal to you and then figure out how to obtain the battery life you want through different tweaks/usage. They all can have great battery life.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I believe people that have tried multiple ROMs can accurately assess which is better/worse in terms of battery life. Obviously there can be variations due to tweaks, apps, and usage, but it isn't difficult to get a sense of where you stand. I know I noticed a drastic increase coming from stock to Fresh.
[EVO 4G General] DanBergundy:
True, what I should have said was without testing yourself and keeping variables the same, you can't just take the word of others.

Anybody knows how to let the WP7 phone connect to a non-broadcasting SSID WIFI?

It is easy in WebOS, Android, Iphone but I cannot do it in WP7?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Don't think anyone in this forum actually have a device yet...
[Windows Phone 7 General] kool-ed:
But i wonder if there will be a quick way to activate wifi/bluetooth, without having to go to the phone settings every time
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Well, pretty hard to tell from the just emulator you know...
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
yes im hoping for the same, right now i just double click the home for wifi & back for bluetooth on my touch pro 2, its gonna take awhile to get use to not using it
[Windows Phone 7 General] eeter:
That's right you cannot pin down Wifi and BT to put them in the startup screen
[Windows Phone 7 General] pmarkusn:
For me the intitail question is still valid, anybody knows how to connect my WP7 phone to a non-broadcasting SSID WIFI?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mattn95:
There is an app for HTC devices only.

[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Most important than a quick switch, I think that is how fast it reconnects to your wifi when you wake up your phone.

Anyone at Mango noticed that sometimes it's almost instant, and sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to connect?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mattn95:
I've been on mango for a few days and it has always been instant for me. Are you connected to a hidden wifi?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
That's good news! Maybe hardware difference? I have a Trophy.

Not hidden.

I have an Omnia 7 and i've never connected to a hidden network

I changed my number with Bell, but I can't figure out how to change the number on the phone. It's unlocked and running pegasus lite... I tried doing the #some number# thing, but nothing ever happens... what gives?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] high25:
I'm not sure, but this is what I think.

You should go back to stock Bell rom then contact Bell to help you with changing the number.

[Vibrant General] leechdweler:
So I was trying to view videos on youtube from my Vibrant and the quality was so poor I had to give it up.

I tried about 15 different videos with the same result in quality :(

Is there a way to fix this issue ?
[Vibrant General] apple_g:
Try hitting menu and then there should be an option to watch in high quality.
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
What he said. Over 3g I'd defaults to low quality YouTube. That issue is fixed in 2.2 where you could always force HQ over 3g. But as is, hit menu, then watch in high quality.
[Vibrant General] aeson:
try this, it's the newer version of youtube than the vibrants. theres an option where you can have HQ as a default.
[Vibrant General] dharmaboy1:
Thanks man!

Thanks for the link, Aeson! It is nice to have everything looking much better when watching YouTube vids. Appreciate it!
[Vibrant General] aeson:
no problem! :D
[Vibrant General] leechdweler:
Thanks guys really helped out....:D

One other problem I have is when searching for youtube videos over the net, I choose a video and lets say its a youtube video it will not play.

I receive a error message and video screen closes and reverts me back to web page.

Any ideas ?:confused:
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
What does the error message say?
[Vibrant General] daropedia:
I have a big problem with the youtube app, and I tried the updated APK it didn't change anything.

When ever try to sign in to my account it freezes.

Anyone else have this problem?

wtf. its working now ??? I have no idea what happened but it seems to play now. will keep trying to see if i get the error message again.
[Vibrant General] haphazard1:
After install the sign in screen just kept popping up over and over again. Is there a different youtube.apk to try?
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
yall complain about bad quality videos but be happy you don't have to deal with iphone users issues because they can't even choose to watch videos in high quality unless they have wifi or jail-broken their phone. ATT is terrible with trying to decrease data usage smh

-calendar

-contacts

-email

-notes(via 3rd party app?)

anyone try Samsung New PC Studio?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mjmm:
I'm just uninstalling it. It crashed sometimes and doesn't do any useful tasks more than Windows Mobile Device Center.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hydrostatic:
I think New PC Studio is worse, if it's even possible. It's not possible to make it work in all computers. It installs a big pile of futile drivers and other stuff. When you uninstall the program, it doesn't uninstall everything. What a pile of **** ;-) That progam occassionally worked on one of my four computers. Although I did everything according to the instructions, it managed to temporarily make one of my previous phones a brick when updating the phone. No company should publish program that buggy.

Any luck founding alternative to kies?

its just big pile of horse poo

my old phone(ericsson) had better suite.. and it was half the price
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
did you guys install the correct driver?

Did you know, you can not have both Android SDK (ADB) drivers installed, and KIES drivers installed at the same time?

you can only use KIES driver, or ADB drivers, if you have installed ADB drivers KIES will NOT work

if you uninstall / replace the ADB drivers with KIES drivers, then it works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kjeldmis:
#Fido

Last time I checked it was not possible to connect via bluetooth via Kies. That really bugs me, because my Nokia Symbian phones have always had a crappy UI, but the SW Suite is sweet IMO. Writing / sending SMS via BT, answering calls, notification on calls. I could do this via the Nokia Phone Suite connected by bluetooth - I really miss those features in Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Kies, doesn't have any close to what you are looking for in the Nokia phone suite.

Kies is just like a glorified version of a sync software + itunes wanna be

we would love to know if your phone was fully rooted before you try this update? If your phone is rooted then all you need to do is go back to 2.1 via recovery, using Nanadroid backup off course. Once this is done I would you a different 2.2 rom try flashing it and see what happens...

Anyone has any ideas? Thanks.
[Droid X General] lexluthor:
I think I've discovered a bug on the X that's causing battery drain.

I installed Spare Parts and saw my phone had been unplugged for about 12 hours and that my phone was been Running (not sleeping) for 100% of that time.

After being methodical and getting data points after opening various programs, I determined that after I opened any program that accessed the GPS, the phone no longer would go into sleep mode.

To get the phone to start sleeping again, all I have to do is toggle GPS off and then back on again.

It's completely reproducible every time on my phone.

Now, I don't know what kind of effect this will have on battery life, but seems like it probably would have some effect.

If others can test this and see if it affect you at all, it'd be helpful to see if there's a potential major software bug here or if it's just something with my phone.

Easiest way to test is to start with a fresh reboot with GPS toggle on, install Spare Parts, plug in the phone for a second (to reset the counters), let it sit sleeping for a few minutes, then read the Running % in Spare Parts. Should be pretty low. Plug in the phone to reset the counters again. Then start Google Maps or any other program that will activate your GPS. Close that program and then let the phone sit idle for a few minutes. Check Spare Parts running time again and, for me, it's pegged at 100%.

It stays like that until I toggle the GPS off or reboot the phone.

Very curious to see if others get the same results.
[Droid X General] generic.imitation:
I'm not trying to flame... but, after 12 hours your phone was unplugged, and still working... battery drain doesn't seem like a huge issue for me based on this information.

I would recommend an app called Tasker. I use it to turn gps off when it's not in use. I open google maps, gps starts. I close maps, gps off. I put my phone into the car mount, bluetooth starts, gps on, pandora on. unplug it, then everything off. I can have the cell radio off at night, but come on every 30 minutes to check for sms, email or whatever. I have Wifi turn on automatically when I get home, based on gps of course, and when I get out of the car, gps turns off and wifi turns on.

It saves a ton of battery for me, and might be something you'd appreciate. I have my phone running on performance mode all the time, and it still lasts all day and has 30+% to spare when I go to sleep. I'm a heavy user. almost 4GB of data this month with no tether.
[Droid X General] lexluthor:
That's not really the point.

The point is that there's potentially a bug with the phone that's not allowing the phone to go into sleep mode.

Seems like that might be a pretty important thing.
[Droid X General] PlankLongBeard:
Point blank, the Droid X is one of the only Androids who last more than on day on the same charge! And what you all don't know is that if you use the blk taskbar and services.jar V.8 from teenfaces you will literally double or triple your life!

I have been unplugged for about 7 hrs and still have a sturdy 70%. All this with a normal discharge rate of about 5% every hour! That'd not bad! But then you have ATK set to aggressive... then the batt manager set to smart then cache mate running at full blast clearing caches every half hour. Plus the apps are killed and shut down when te screen ia off! So technically the X is dead till you power it up!

Take a look... I promise many will agree, that is if they did it right and are using V8.

Sent from my DROIDX via Telepathic DLNA.
[Droid X General] lexluthor:
What in the world is services.jar V.8 from teenfaces?

Ok, so then both of you are saying that the fact that the phone doesn't ever go to sleep once the GPS has been activated (even after the program that did so exists), isn't an issue?

Seems to me that you can only further improve battery life by having the phone sleep when it's not being used.

But who am I to argue I guess.
[Droid X General] PlankLongBeard:
Seems like you dint understand my previous post. There is mod to change the task bar and shade. Like V8 is the latest with the services.jar replacment. Now how this affected my batt life i don't know, but, it did.

Now i see a lil longer batt life than with the original items.

[Droid X General] ixobelle:
this post is hilarious.

homeboy is trying to get bug testers, and people are talking about how to change the color of their taskbar : /
[Droid X General] mavermc:
Lol yea. Im gonna head home and try what ur saying. I use tasker for turning wifi on and off for maps and the new google places thing (because most of the time im in buildings) but maybe i should use it for gps too. My friend with the evo has his turned off all the time he says its a huge battery drainer. I say how could that be if it only runs when the icon is up. But this might just explain that as well.

Also other logging programs might keep it awak but this one ur suggesting doesn't i take it. Good to keep in mind. Will update later today
[Droid X General] lexluthor:
Sorry, I guess I'm lost/confused.

No one really has a concern that this is a potential system problem that's causing excess battery drain?
[Droid X General] mavermc:
I do we still don't have an extended battery im very curious to what we can do with the battery life. If this is true id imgine tasker is the way we would go around fixing it. But went we getting 2.2 next week? Maybe that will fix it. Like i said when i get home im going to try what u said when i get home
[Droid X General] mavermc:
Just noticed something, I formated my phone just today. (for some reason i had to activate again. is that normal never had to do that with my WM phone when i would put roms on it and stuff)

During setup it asked if i wanted to share anymous location info to google, which i know the fist time i said yes (actually maybe the guy at verizon said yes for me) in any case it says under it something "will anonymously collect your location data even if a location app isn't running"

which could explain why it stays on when the gps is on :)

if you can go into your system settings and it's on for you try turning it off and see if then leaving the gps switched on will still keep the phone on.
[Droid X General] lexluthor:
I think that's the option in settings->privacy, which I turned off the other day, so I don't think that's it.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
Good find. Seeing the same thing. Repeated your test, and yep, system stays on till gps is bounced.

Certainly doesn't look right. Is it that once satellite fix is established, it's maintained (even if not used)? And on GPS on/off, the fix is lost and the system forgets about GPS till it's actually called?

Next step would be to see how it affects power consumption. Will try to run some more tests later in the day.
[Droid X General] lexluthor:
Is there an easy way to test power drain? it'll be very interesting to see what effect this is really having.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
Unfortunately with the Droid X only showing battery power in 10%, it's not easy to discern small differences without waiting for hours.

I wonder if looking at the voltage would offer more precision. But, not sure how reliable that is. After all, if it was, why wouldn't the 3rd party battery meters use that to show more precise % readings.
[Droid X General] hijackerjack:
You'd actually have to write an event for every single percent in the Android system for anything to detect the battery much more accurately and Motorola is too lazy to do that. Its only gonna show every 10% because thats what Android was programmed to show.
[Droid X General] mavermc:
just an update, i said no to google doing it's data mining off my gps. but then i found in location, when i check "use wifi" it asked me again. My guess is thats how they know where you are when you turn on wifi, because if you want that feature you also have to be used in mining data of where the wifipoints are physically located.

So maybe that has something to do with it.
[Droid X General] schizrade:
Saw this on Android Central Yesterday.

I can confirm it, when used with fancy widget. When standard weather app is used, no major power drain. Fancy widget seems to pin the GPS and run it hard the entire time.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
I would think that if Android had 1% events some app would take advantage of it (there are certainly plenty of battery monitors in Market). But I don't know of any that show anything other than 10%. The HTC phones do 1%, and the battery widgets on HTC phones show likewise. Must be a Motorola implementation limitation.
