I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that can display how much charge is being fed to your phone when plugged in/connected to USB?

I've noticed that while running Barnacle WiFi Tether on my X10, even when plugged in via the X10's stock charger, my battery can drain quite quickly. So I'm looking to see if the phone isn't taking the full 700mA the charger is rated at.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I have not yet seen an app that does this.. Shows High or Slow charge, shows incoming rate... That'd be cool. However, keep in mind that the charge rate is incoming-outgoing, so unless you shut down "everything" it'd be hard to tell the true incoming charge in software.

dmesg will show you the charge info... Just have to run it periodically to see it. It'd be nice if an existing widget like Battery Status could show this.. I might ask him. :)
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Yeah I agree, this would be useful but so far I haven't heard of a way to measure the current. The closest I've heard is some Windows Mobile app that does it :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Yup, after searching quite some time, this is the only thing I have found that works.

Use GScript Lite to create a script to run dmesg, pipe it through grep, and output it to a text file.

dmesg | grep batt > /sdcard/dmesg.txt​

Then open the text file in any text editor (I use Text Edit). It's very handy for showing the exact battery drain/charge and it DOES tell you "battery charge SLOW" and "battery charge FAST".

Screenshots are below. Enjoy! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Ah, cool! Do you have to be root to run this particular script/profile? I see the program itself does not require root but some things within it would. I'm going to try it today, even though I looked closer and saw you do have requires su in there.

If not, I'll add it to my list of reasons to eventually root my phone ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
I'm not sure. It's checked by default.
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
I've tried a few times since yesterday, and the output is always the same. The file length even seems to be about the same, which I'd expect would grow. I've tried after a few hours plugged in while tethering with Barnacle and same thing.

Still not sure what's up.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yeah, looks like for whatever reason grep requires su. Thanks for the tip though, it's on my "root list" ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
It shouldn't grow since it's actually replacing the file each time.

Also, battery events don't occur while plugged in. (You'll notice Settings -> About Phone -> Battery Use never moves while plugged in; it just freezes.)

I don't know what is happening with your output, but just wanted to clear up the above issues.

[Edit]: Make sure you're re-opening the text file after every time you run the script. If you are just opening the app, it'll just display whatever was there previously, even if the file changed. This advice might be silly, but just to make sure...
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
Hmm... that kindof defeats my purpose for this data (trying to find out why my 700mA X10 charger can't supply enough juice for me to run Barnacle WiFi Tether indefinitely).

With that said, I'll continue testing this script. But so far whether plugged in or not, I have yet to get any battery values out. Only the "suspend" and "resume" listings as per my prior posts.

Would still be cool to have an app to parse such data though.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I would imagine someone could get this information, parse, and draw a graph.. But it requires root access to access the shell directly, can't do this from the API as far as I can tell.

The Battery Snap author replied to my email out to him (fast as always, nice dev!) that he liked the idea but can't do it in the SDK. He has considered some NDK work and if he does anything with NDK in his widget he'll see if this can be done there, but he wasn't sure.

Another idea is perhaps using adb shell and dmesg and such... might be able to parse that for your immediate questions/needs.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Oh sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. The Battery Use doesn't update while charging, but the dmesg does. Woops. Not sure why I said that. If your dmesg was working correctly, you would indeed be able to run Wifi Tether while charging, see what the mA usage would be, and tell whether it was draining or charging.

I'm assuming you're rooted, since as the other guy says, running this script without root doesn't work.

So if I were you, I would do a Nand Backup (so you can restore later). Wipe your entire device, and see if the script outputs like mine does. If not, try wiping your battery stats in Recovery. Let us know how it goes, but I'm sure either one or both of those will work (most likely wiping battery stats, but I don't think you can restore that, which is why I say try wiping the device first).
[Android Apps and Games] SurajShirke:
Guys I am new to this.

Please tell me in detail how to do it.

And do we compulsarily need root?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reapur:
Hello everyone,

I have froyo on N1 Tmo.

I used this trick from adb

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

to move and then install all apps to the SD.

Yet, I'm down to 20MB memory and the warning keeps coming up in the notification bar.

I've gone thru the application remover and verified that almost every app is on the SD card, there are a few like google maps, that won't move.

Is there a way I can figure out what is using this internal memory? I've cleaned out my SMS and call logs, but I'm not sure how else to address this.

I just can't believe that the nexus one is having memory issues WTF!

cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lordjinji:
To see which files fill up the most space on internal memory:

settings>applications>manage applications>press menu>sort by size

Hope it helps :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reapur:
Thanks. I was looking there but I think there is a disconnect in Android on that.

It seems that sorting them is by the app size, and since my apps all almost ALL installed on the SD card, my free RAM should be huge, yet it's not.

Looking closer, it looks like the "Data" field is where all the memory is being used up. It seems that all Data is stored internally.

For example Twonkymedia server is 3.67MB application size, but the data field is 65MB!!! When I cleared the data, I recovered 65MB of internal memory.

If there was away to make apps store their data on the SD...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lax789:
Well I'm on a G1 Supercsdiv4 and it has this app that u can see what apps are open and which ones are using up ur memory, I think the app is on theunlockr.com

I want to share my cable net at work to my Tattoo via USB Adapter TP Link TL-WN321G - tp-link.com/products/productDetails.asp?pmodel=TL-WN321G

but there is a problem:

I switched USB Adapter to AP Mode and turn-on Internet Sharing Connection on my Cable connection adapter, signal on Tattoo is excellent and it successfully connect to my network but internet it's not working.

Security on USB adapter is set like this:

dodaj.rs/f/3b/QZ/6Uz55f7/sec.jpg

I tried without security on, but net is still not working.

Is it possible that there is some incompatibility with these two devices ( TP Link TL-WN321G & HTC Tattoo ) ??

At home i have DSL and Pirreli modem/router and when i turn on wireless on modem/router net is working on tattoo just fine... I tried to install this problematic USB adapter at home but still no luck, signal is excelent on tattoo but net is not working...
[Click General] Grunfi:
this is not a security problem.... you need to do one of these things:

- manual set IP, subnet, DNS and gateway on tattoo

or

- set your PC to act as local DHCP

second is more practical, because you will probablu use your tattoo on other networks with diferent settings. Find sharing optoins in properties of network adapter where you plug cable from modem...
[Click General] Pablo87:
About that second option: LAN Adapter have manualy set the IP adress and DNS server to:

dodaj.rs/f/2K/tW/1vaqHz6F/lan.jpg

because that is behind the cable router and these setting I can't change...
[Click General] Grunfi:
of course, and you don't need to change... on advanced tab on LAN adapter properties you have "internet connection sharing" options, enable it. you will probably get warning about IP changing, but that affect WiFi adapter settings not LAN adapter
[Click General] Pablo87:
Before i posted this thread I tried everything... and ofc. that ICS on LAN adapter is enebled but net on tatto won't work... I wrote this in first post...
[Click General] Grunfi:
sorry...

did you try to bridge your LAN and WiFi adapter? select both, right click, Bridge....

than you set your current LAN settings on new bridge connection...

this question is more about your home network settings...

Here's an article about the lameness of 1.3:

"News: Facebook 1.3 Not Releasing Partial Wake Lock"

http://geekfor.me/news/facebook-1-3-wakelock/

If you're looking to downgrade the Facebook app to 1.2, you can find it here:

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
Or use Bloo. That is what I switched back to after I realized my battery was draining fast.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] thenestor:
Regarding Facebook 1.3, the developer says they've identified the bug and are working on a fix:

http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=74769995908

(Filter to only see posts by Facebook for Android.)

I use Bloo 1.5 for notifications and browsing my news feed, but I still like having the facebook app for its widget.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
Thanks for info. I just like how Bloo doesnt go to internet browser for anything, where the FB app, if you hit notifications, and hit any notification, it took you to the browser. Lame, lol. Just my 2 cents. And I use Bloo 1.5 as well. think its best client out there and sucks he quit working on it.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] stopxstart:
I haven't had any issues. With sleep or with battery draining. Facebook isn't even listed on my battery usage screen.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] thenestor:
It wasn't affecting everyone. And they just released 1.3.1, which solves the wake lock bug.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] alvinleephd:
Are there any out there? I loved the tmobile IM.apk back when I had the g1 but it doesn't work on froyo and the modified version uses data.

Is there anything else out there that uses SMS instead of data?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] demonzrulaz:
I know that AIM has a sms version of their protocol. you can sign on via sms, send ims and receive IMs all via sms. As for an application that does this specifically, I don't know of any, sorry >.<

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chopes:
Which protocol or any? I know AIM already supports this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
yeah aim supports it, but there isnt an actual aim app that actually does it for nexus rite now i believe. the official aim app uses data like many other third party IM apps.

[Droid Eris Android Development] truelove79:
I too would like to see this. I would love the EXACT SAME Sense notification bar, except white rather than black. Just a color change, that's it, no other changes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Yes. or this. as long as the bar is white, i'm good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
well the metamorph i just threw together will replace a lot more than just the background. i can make another one for just the bg if this one turns out good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Ok, cool. what exactly is it changing?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
the icons and things that go along with the vanilla notification bar. did you test it yet?
[Droid Eris Android Development] truelove79:
I guess the vanilla icons would be fine. I just didn't want some of the goofy overly complex icons some of these ROMs have.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Alright, I got it to work. rebooting now.

EDIT: Still have a black bar after reboot. did i do somwething wrong?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
you didnt get it to work :P

the script i used to make the theme control needed a line fixed. ill have a new one up for you in a sec
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
oh ok well by that i meant i got metamorph to recognizre the theme. thanks so much for what youre doing. the black bar has always been the main deterrent for not using sense-based roms.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
oh good. ya it was missing a /

not a big deal but it throws metamorph off.

just noticed why it didnt take though-i flashed over to smash rom to test it out too :P

give me a minute and ill get it up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
cool man. believe it or not im actually super excited for this. and it WILL work with the sense lauincher right? and it looks like the stock white bar?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
ya it will work on any 2.1 sense rom.

sorry i had to find and install gimp for ubuntu, i didnt have any photo editing software :P

EDIT:omfg GIMP sucks for the simple things....
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
thats cool. whatever it takes to get it right! when do you think the link will be up?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
what exactly are you doing in gimp?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Did you get the clock and date text to change to black?

I mm'd a white bar and got everything to work except the text color. Yes, I did follow the tuts from the android forums, but it either didn't take or got stuck in a boot loop.

I'm running xtr 3.1
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
nothin anymore

POC

its almost there, i missed a few icons.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
havent started on that yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
awesome man! looks great. i gotta leave here in about 45 minutes. you think it will be ready by then?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
maybe, if not shoot me your email and ill email you the metamorph.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
i cant get any of the icons to take :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
meaning...?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
that the notification icons in the notification bar are still the stock htc ones.

even though they have been replaced in the metamorph, they arent being replaced in the rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Any word on progress?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
i actually just woke up from a fattass nap :P

according to jcase, someone already put out a white notification bar patch rather than a metamorph. i wasnt able to find it, but if its already out there then no reason to double up the work
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Thanks. I guess Ill start googling lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
he said that hes had it since march, so your going to have to go back a little ways :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Is it on XDA? I've looked but can't find it...
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
PM jcase and ask him.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
I PM'd him... he said you were mistaken.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
he said some other dude released it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Ok thanks. I guess I'll dig deeper.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdm9002:
Yep, authenticators can be used on any number of accounts. That's why it was (till the email confirmation) so easy for hackers to add them to stolen accounts.

AFAIK you couldn't use multiple apps anyway, as the Blizzard app stores the key in its own private preferences file.

Remember to de-register the authenticator if you are planning on upgrading the OS....just in case.

If you are rooted, you can grab the preferences file and import it into the Windows version of the Authenticator (code.google.com/p/winauth) as a backup.

[Nexus One Android Development] the orange bandit:
I've installed tons of apps on my Nexus One (naturally) and am really annoyed to find many of them position themselves in the 'Share' menu on my gallery. There's no way (that I can see) to reorganize or limit this, either.

I typically either use Pixelpipe or Twidroyd to upload from there - I'd like to be able to either

A. pick and choose what does and doesn't show up in this list

OR

B. reorder it so the ones I want to use are closer to the bottom bar.

Currently, Pixelpipe *and* Twidroyd are at the top of the list. This isn't a big deal in portrait mode, but in landscape mode, they're cut off and I can't scroll up to get to them.
[Nexus One Android Development] aureliusmaximus:
I would like such a mod as well!

Not being able to edit it was the main reason I uninstalled twidroid. Cuz I saw no sense why, when in twidroid, twidroid would be the first option under 'share'. That really annoyed me. I mean why whould I need to share a tweet via the 'share' menu in twidroid?

Now...quite happily using twicca which doesn't force itself as the first app under the 'share' settings.
[Nexus One Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
just put a .nomedia file in the folder that has the pics you dont want in the gallery
[Nexus One Android Development] the orange bandit:
You didn't get the request.

When you open a photo in the gallery app, click on 'More', and then click on 'Share', there are a TON of apps in there, most of which I don't want to use from that menu. The main one that I want to use is Pixelpipe. However, it shows up in the top of this list. That's fine in portrait mode, but the top of the list is cut-off in landscape mode, which is a hassle. I'd like to be able to either reorganize this list or remove some apps from it at my discretion, so that it's not littered with options I'm not going to use.
[Nexus One Android Development] britoso:
one way to modify the app's manifest xml and remove the broadcast receiver or other related lines.
[Nexus One Android Development] JeepFreak:
in for this...

Billy
[Nexus One Android Development] RogerPodacter:
I like the fact that the OS allows this type of integration. It's awesome, but an option should be in settings to turn it on or off for each app.
[Nexus One Android Development] the orange bandit:
So I'd need to do that for every app that appears in the list?
[Nexus One Android Development] rpcameron:
That's correct. The applications declare in their manifest.xml to which Intents they can respond. They only way to have an application no longer appear in a Share menu item is to have it no longer handle the Intent that is going to be passed, and the only way to do that is to modify the application's manifest.xml.
[Nexus One Android Development] the orange bandit:
Would I have to do this again whenever the app is updated, too?

Also, given that I have root, is there any way to set this up as an app somehow? I could launch the app, which would consist of a checklist of the apps that I have installed on my phone (which was compared against a master list somewhere of apps that declare this intent). I could then simply uncheck the ones that I want removed, and the app would automatically remove the declaration from each app's manifest? Or perhaps a way to monitor the Intent, see which apps are declaring that intent, and then populate the checklist like that?
[Nexus One Android Development] bcpk:
This has been bugging me for the longest time, it would be great to be able to disable Facebook, Picasa and crap like that which I never use.
