Anyone loosing like 6 percent in the first 15 minutes after a full charge? 15 minutes ago i was 100% now im at 94....
[Vibrant General] ekeefe41:
I get better battery life than i got on my G1.

These are not cell phones... they are tinny laptops that you can press against your face and make phone calls.

This thing has more features than the $1200 gaming PC i built 2 months ago.
[Vibrant General] DonutYankee:
I had bad battery life the first day. Turned the phone off late at night and let it charge full. Battery has been wonderful since then.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Espinha:
So I was thinking and one of the issues that many reviews about the i9000 point out is the lack of a notification light that flashes whenever there are notifications. This is an issue that I've noticed before I bought the phone but now, after I've bought it, it bothers me more than I think it would. This got me thinking.

The i9000 has two soft keys on the bottom and both of them have a light beneath. Wouldn't it be possible to develop an application (maybe that ran in the background as a service) that would flash those lights whenever there is a notification? If this is too low level for an app, would it be possible to do by using a customized firmware?

Sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find anything about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
search NoLED
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
That is a very good idea using the existing lights. I've been using NoLED and I've found that it crashes the device with some notifications. I've since uninstalled it just to verify. As I've stated in another tread, I feel it's important to have a status indicator of some sort just to know that your phone is actually on, or you're getting signal. Something standard of course on most devices. Yesterday my device crashed (I believe NoLED was the reason.) and I went around for almost an hour not even knowing the device was off. As I type this it's sitting on my desk now. Is it on or off? Pretty frustrating.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Espinha:
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Roy :)

Considering this actually uses the screen, I might give it a shot developing something using the soft-key lights instead. I'm thinking this might save some battery, is easier to fiddle with and I guess it'd just feel more natural than a random light on the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
I may work on something as well. The menu button light slowly "pulsing" to indicate the status that the device is still on, and the back button light slowly pulsing to indicate a message of any type. (Email, text, etc.) If there's a message the menu light will stop pulsing, that way it will save a bit of battery by not having them both pulsing. (We'll know it's on due to the message indicator.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Karupan:
AFAIK, some devs tried using the soft lights. There was some issue with getting it to work. Check out this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706426&highlight=notification

Had a wi-fi problem on my htc desire for a while now..

One time I went to turn wi-fi on and it just said "Unable to start wi-fi". It had worked totally fine up until that point.

I've tried doing a factory reset, rooted, updated rom but it's still not working.

When the problem happened I had not rooted the phone or changed anything really.. it just happened.

In logcat it says:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmpro:
Good afternoon. I recently became the owner of HTC TouchDiamond2.

I am interested in the slider. In its preferences you can add elements, in particular TWITTER, I believe that these are the elements of plug-ins for the shell.

my request is this: how to develop a plugin for the slider.

I used by Google, but did not find the necessary information.

I have a HTC TouchDiamond2 original. Judging by the "Information about the software":

OS - 5.2.21887

Manila - 2.5.20110303.0

PS: I understand that the subject does not match the section of the forum.

PS2: Sorry for my English
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Those are the Manila tabs and you would have to research Lua and Mode9 scripting.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeeGee_Tokyo:
There are some additional tabs available that you can add:

Facebook tab

GPS Tracker tab

There might be more, you have to search for them. And there you might as well get some ideas how to make such a tab.

There was a tutorial in the WIKI pages, but they are down at the moment. Hope they are coming back soon.

Hi all,

I have Co-Pilot on my X10 and was wondering if there is a way to stop incoming texts and calls displaying whilst navigating? I assume putting the phone in flight mode will stop the GPS receiver?
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
Yes you can. Install Switch Pro Widgets from the market (or free :) from the apktor) and there is an option in Airplane mode that only tuns off signal only, and you can keep your wifi or your gps on.

Hope it helps.

[XPERIA X10 General] cybrid3:
Legendary effort. That worked. Just a shame I have to have 4x1 widget but it will def do the trick so thanks very much :)
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Why using a 4x1 widget when you can press the power button for a few seconds and select Airplane mode from there?
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
If you select airport mode from the phone settings it will be disable all wireless connections, from switchpro widgets you can select only "turn off signal only"

Cybrid, if you update your Swtchpro widgets to 1.8.3 (from apktor) iyou can select widgets 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4. So select 1x1 and it is done!
[XPERIA X10 General] cybrid3:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
I'd honestly go with Skullcandy 2010 FullMetalJackets. But hey, that's just me, liking having a two meter cord and in-line mic.

Between the two, I'd say JBuds.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
Try these Tune Buds for a few bucks more.

Yes they say made for iPhone, but the mic and button work fine with the EVO, they sound good for cheap earphones and are comfortable. They have a fabric covered cord which is amazing for keeping them from tangling, and it doesn't mention it on the page so maybe they don't anymore, but mine came with a really nice pouch. I keep them in that pouch and it stays in my pocket all the time, so I have headphones whenever I have a chance to catch up on a podcast or listen to music.

I actually got the earlier version without the inline mic many years ago (before the iPhone came out) and used them for a long time with various MP3 players and phones, then not long after I got my iPhone 3G the case finally gave way, and I wanted the inline mic for phone calls, so I bought a new pair. Used them a ton every since.

Hmm, those skullcandys look nice. Might have to try a pair of those.
[Android Software Development] .:LordAlien:.:
Hi Community,

I have problems with the ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON - Intent. I can't get my App receiving those actions and react on them.

In my AndroidManifest.xml I added the Intent-filter:

<intent-filter android:priority="42">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON">
</intent-filter>

And in the onCreate-Method I registered a Receiver:

BroadcastReceiver receiver;
if (receiver == null) {
receiver = new ButtonReceiver();
}
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON);
filter.setPriority(IntentFilter.SYSTEM_HIGH_PRIORITY);
registerReceiver(receiver, filter);

And the corresponding ButtonReceiver-class:

class ButtonReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
String intentAction = intent.getAction();
if (Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON.equals(intentAction))
{
Log.d("ButtonReceiver", "I will handle buttons here");
//handle buttons
}
}

}

The app compiles fine and is also running without problems, BUT I never get to the "//handle buttons"-section.

For testing purpose I'm using my Jabra BT2015 and the provided earphones from HTC. Both don't work.

Every hint is very appreciated.

Step 1 - install Samsung drivers (instructions abound, run a search)

Step 2 - set to USB Debugging Mode

Step 3 - Plug in phone ;-)

Step 4 - hit the 'windows key' type 'phone' and click on 'Phone and Modem' when it pops up. Click on the 'Modems' tab.

Step 5 - Select the SAMSUNG ANDROID USB MODEM that shows a COM# next to it, and select properties. Click the 'Diagnostics' tab, then 'Query Modem' As long as it sends back 'Success', you can continue with the rest of this.

Step 5.1 Click the "Change Setting" button on the lower left corner of the dialog box, if your version of Windows 7 still has that.

Step 6 - Click the 'Advanced' tab, and insert

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","epc.t-mobile.com"

into the extra initialization commands. Exit out of the Phone and Modem Dialog

Step 7 - Go to 'Internet Options' in Control Panel, and select 'Connections' tab.

Step 8 -Click 'Add...' button, and choose 'Dial-up'

Step 9 - Populate Phone Number with *99# Name with 'wap' and password with 'password' Name the connection whatever you like.

Step 10 - cross your fingers and click 'connect'

As long as Step 10 connects you to the internet, then you're good to go.

I left-click on the wireless icon in my toolbar to access the dialer, once it's setup there's a section for 'dialup' in addition to wireless

The only 'difficulty' I've had is that sometimes I have to unplug and replug the USB cable in order to start the networking - otherwise, it's been very stable, and I'm getting MUCH higher speeds than when using PDANet or Easytether, and I SEEM to be getting better battery life (laptop and phone) than using the Apps.

Like the OSX instructions, this SHOULD work without root, however, I've not tested it without root, so I don't want to promise anything ;-)

Thanks to MSW1382 for helping me clarify this set of instructions.
[Vibrant General] msw1382:
Just tested this out and it does work.

There are a couple things I would like to point out.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] arpcpro:
You mean T9 like when a key has 3 letters on it? Or just an autocomplete of the words.

Because the autocomplete is the MAJOR problem I have when using WWE ROMs. I lose all the ability to have the words corrected and auto completed because the keyboards only shows words in English as an option.

One of the best keyboards I found is Fingerkeyboard2, but is does not supports T9. Only Windows Mobile word suggestions. I've seen samsung Omnia keyboards (that have a layout with 2 letters on the same key) but I don't know the names of those keyboards.

Since the kaiser hardware supports EDGE it should be able to use it, just not sure if any android builds have EDGE support, of course I have been known to be wrong ;)

You could have a careful mess about in the testing screen, ( open dialer, press *#*#4636#*#*, do not press dial), in phone information have a look at preferred network type, play with that, but take a note of the original settings before you do anything.

Be very careful, I spent all day without the ability to send sms, had to wait until i got home to get the correct settings before everything was normal again.

I have been using Edge to save my battery on my Tilt in both WM6.5 and Android 2.1g... Recently, I have bought several new batteries and none of them seem to hold a charge like the ones I bought last year. So that's crap...

Anyhow, to enable Edge in Android... I found the only way I could do it was to install WMLongLife in Windows Mobile. From there, I set all my connections to be 2G (only).

That saves battery in WM6.5.

In order to get Android to use Edge, you must have an Edge signal in Windows Mobile, as well as an Edge Data Connection started. So, start IE, sync your mail, refresh your weather...

Then start Haret and boot Android. If you have replaced WM with Android, I don't know how that works...

If you haven't started a data connection before booting, you will not attach to the network.

I found enabling "Slower Networks" in Android's Network Settings does nothing.

Battery life is better, but I still wish the new batteries had better capacity.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
Just a tip I thought I'd share...

My Android installation had grown very unstable (running Desire build v5 http://gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html ).

After just a minute or so it would just freeze. Also the the menu button (windows button) had stopped working in a program I'm using a lot. I tried to restart several times but the problems were still the same.

So I put my MicroSD card in my USB card reader and did a defrag on it and after that the problems were gone!!

So if your Android installation is getting unstable you might want to try to do a defrag on it. It would probably work with the built-in defrag program in Windows but I used http://www.mydefrag.com (freeware) since it has a special profile for flash disks that uses as few erase-write cycles as possible.

Does anyone know of any freeware defrag programs for Windows Mobile so that it can be fixed without using a PC?

defrag on sd cards on phones are not a good idea.

___Fragmentation is only a problem on moving hard drives - it slows down access to a file if it's spread all over the drive in small fragments. This doesn't matter with the solid state internal memeory of a phone - no moving parts = no delay retrieving different parts of the file.___

So on a hdd the storage closest to the center og the spinning disc inside will be the fastest part aka the operating system.

But in an sd (solid state storage) all files are spread over a little area witch will cause no lag or delay.

Defragmenting will maby help, but do it only once, not many times, that will kill the thing.

I had my ssd since january this year, and was on 58% fragmented in july, i degragmentet it and has been on 1-3% since, same with my sd card on my phone.
