[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merlin66676:
I have gone back to 2.1 stock with update 1 OTA with the version 1 radio. I am still seeing -105db to -95db for reception and 1 bar while at work. So my assumption is that there is just a lack of reception in my area. I compared signal strength to my old versa lg 9600 and it seems to get 1-3 db better reception but I don't think that is much of a difference. I will also compare to my fiance's Env 2 and see what that gets. I do seem to see 3g more often with the v1 radio than with v2 but might just be when I look and nothing conclusive.

Follow-up: My fiances Env 2 also gets 2-5 db higher signal strength but again I don't think that is much for a phone, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezzik77:
Just my 2 cents but my reception got better with the new radio for a few days. It actually seems to have gotten worse or rather gone back to what it was when I went in and did my normal tweaks in the ##778 and ##7764726 menus. I will say that I tend to get a more stable signal but that if you check the DB register the improvement is far less dramatic than the bars improvement is. I wonder if something in one of my updates iPhone'd me. You know where their idea of a software fix for signal issues is to change the way the graphics display. I partially wonder if I didn't get one of those.

Really looking forward to the stated improvements in LTE and getting a good LTE Android phone. Supposedly we will see improved building penetration with LTE signals. I for one really hope so.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenIzz:
What "##778 and ##7764726" settings are you using?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezzik77:
EVRC-B on all

Slot Cycle Index 1

HDR Hybrid Preferred Enable

Rev A Enable

1X Diversity RDDS

Dormant Handoff Optimization Enable

Took the DUN out of the M.IP profile

ACCOLC 6

Voice Privacy Disable

CD ROM disable

Pref_For_RC RC4

I think that is all I have done.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncwildcat:
why did you change so much? I am too looking to improve my signal (I average -95 to -105 at work as well)
[HD2 General] dave-:
I've done a search but can't find anything to do with my issue. I am running L26LEOV2.1_GoldEdition_213_WWE_21899_SE and have been for probably a month. Everything has been running excellent. I've got AS pushmail, weather etc all running and had no issues.

All of a sudden the battery life has disappeared. Noticed my battery at ~30% last night which was strange as I usually charge every night or 2nd night but it's never that low. After about 45mins it was at 8% just sitting idle (no data or anything running).

Did a full charge last night before going to bed and unplugged it. So 100% charged. This morning I found the phone is off, turn it on and its on 0% then shuts down again due to no power. Would only be like 6-8mths old.

I haven't made any software/ROM changes in weeks so I'm fairly sure it is hardware related. Before I go back to stock ROM and send it in for warranty work, does anyone have any suggestions for things to try beforehand? I don't want to go back to an old Nokia while I'm waiting :eek:
[HD2 General] Faelok:
You could try BattLog to see where/when the rapid power drain is occurring. I've had my battery do the same thing once. I usually get through the work day with 50% left, but one day (without any use) my HD2 was dead before lunch. The problem went away as mysteriously as it arrived. So maybe just give it a few more charges and see if it works itself out. I'm curious if you've noticed any unusual ammount of heat from the battery? It could very well be that it is failing.
[HD2 General] dave-:
I'll try that program but oddly enough today its been ok, using only 10% with a bit of google maps and phone usage in about 10hr.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drapeto:
Has anyone had this issue? I'm currently running Fresh 3.1.0.1, ran Burnt, and the stock rooted OTA ROM. When I connect my phone to the USB port or into the wall, typing in messages (handcent) responds slower than normal. There is definitely a noticeable difference in response time. It corrects itself in spurts but slows down and continues to play this tug o' war. I have netarchy's latest kernel and everything runs great. When I remove the phone from the charger, I NEVER have this problem.

What's the culprit? I have setCPU set to OC and UC when screen is off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bockjacob:
I can confirm a similar experience using CM6
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drapeto:

I noticed that I don't have the lag issue with the new multi-touch keyboard (running 2.2). It may just be that version of the keyboard.

[XPERIA X10 General] C3LL0PHANE:
I assume it is since it happens for my X10 as well as my girlfriends.

1) While texting it seems to freeze and have a constant vibration, then if your fingers kept texting it would eventually type all those keys or the last key multiple times.

2) Run out of memory. I use ATK and I notice after a day it starts off at something around 136mb of free memory then later in the day it will say "7 apps killed, 119mb remaining" and it has gone down to the 80's before. Where is this memory being used?

3) I seem to pocket dial/text a lot even though I lock the screen every time...

4) When on the phone it hangs up a lot from my cheek lol Is there a way to fix this other than bringing up the dialpad and hearing the keys being hit

Also might as well put this here. Is 'rooting' your phone the same as jailbreaking an iPhone?
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
Basic stuff for an android phone. High memory usage is nothing to worry about, it's actually almost the opposite, more the merrier.
[XPERIA X10 General] synlar:
Hmm I think I've experienced most of those things. They're odd occurances. But be glad they're software issues, because software can be changed/fixed!

As for rooting vs jailbreaking an iphone... the thing is, since iPhone is locked down so much, jailbreaking an iPhone can make a big difference than a stock iPhone. Rooted android allows access to hidden system files, so can allow for more tweaking, but an unrooted Android phone already does so much, as opposed to an unjailbroken iPhone. Rooted android can by far do way more than a jailbroken iPhone. And even in some ways, an unrooted Android phone can do more than a jailbroken iPhone as well.

PS: can you share the numbers of some of you girlfriends? maybe I can help them out with their technical issues ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] kindred7:
1) I've noticed this. The pattern I notice is that this only happens when you're receiving text and typing. Since in the options for the keyboard you can enable vibration when u type I believe this is the problem. I haven't tested it but the way the phone seems to respond, it seems to be so. It seems to be able to only output one vibration feedback at a time. So in effect it delays those linked to your typing until the vibration for receiving text has ended. I could be wrong though.

2) It is most probably being used by background running processes. Typically you only really close a process by pushing the back button until it closes. If you continually open new tasks after pushing the center button you're essentially putting the current program in the background.

3)What you can do is enable a simple swipe pattern lock to help this, but even so you run the risk of locking your phone if you "guess" the pattern lock too many times. So I would recommend you buying a case for it if you don't have one. I have not had any problem like this and I use a case.

4)It sounds like your proximity sensor isn't working or isn't being properly activated by your cheek. What you can do is go to a mirror and call someone, while speaking to them shift the phone a little bit at a time until you see the screen black. This indicates the proximity sensor has detected your face being close to the phone. While you are at it you can also slide the phone a bit to get peak volume with your phone. From what I can see the in-call speaker is very directional.

EDIT: Yea you can consider rooting to be the android equivalent to jail breaking. Considering you're asking that I am guessing you have not rooted your phone yet. If you don't have the latest firmware it might be a good idea since it fixes some little oddities on the x10 as well as offering battery and speed improvements.
[XPERIA X10 General] beno1:
There's an easier way to test the proximity sensor:

While in lockscreen, press: Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back

This opens the service menu. Go to Service Tests-Proximity Switch.

Now just move a finger over the sensor to test. It also gives you a sound so you can also try holding it to your cheek!

Hope that helps!
[XPERIA X10 General] Zaslav:
@beno1 cooooolll thanks man.
[XPERIA X10 General] C3LL0PHANE:
So I went into the testing part and checked the proximity switch and it says it is off. That's not what I want now is it? I couldn't figure out how to get it on.

As for pressing the Home button instead of Back.. wouldn't Advanced Task Killer close those applications anyways?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Put your finger over the proximity sensor and it will go from off to on.. then take it off and it will be off..
[XPERIA X10 General] C3LL0PHANE:
I tried that and it beeps, but goes back to off :eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] indesisiv:
That's what it should do! It will only go to on when it is covered then as soon as you uncover it then it swiches back to off.

This is as it should be in the service test. It is working.

Just wondering since my contact pics are fuzzy,(taken with a 14mp cam cropped on phone sent thru email) how is everybody's else fairing
[Vibrant General] down8:
Yeah, they get down-sized. I don't know how small, but it sucks.

[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
I personally would prefer fuzzy pictures as opposed to a longer delay when opening the contacts app. I am sure they do it to make it faster.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
This is not a problem with the Vibrant.

It is something that is inherent to Android.
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
Agreed. This is something I've noticed across all the android phones I've played with. Even if you upload the contact pictures online they are cropped and get a fuzzy effect.

Grrr. Android Tether worked fine for me at one time, now everytime I load it, and enable it, it locks my phone up so bad I have to unplug the battery....

Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
It's a known issue. Most ppl experience of battery pulling.

Besides the fact that it is very difficult to setup security (WEP???) and effectively block others, mostly brain dead iphones, to automatically connect to your phone, it is not really not worth the trouble. I fired up this Android Tethering on a busy Airport and immediately got more than dozen iPhone connected to it. The build-in access control can control who has the access to the internet but incapable of kick the ofenders off your phone. Battery was dead in less than 30 minutes.

There is now a new solution that enables native wireless AP (WPA2 capable) in addition to the USB tethering (still my favorite) in Captivate Android Development forum. Unfortunately you have to flash to a custom kernel in order to restore the wireless AP capability that was stripped off by request of AT&T.
[Captivate General] smeltn:
so no other option for wifi tethering besides the custom kernel huh?

I really want to tether my iPad to it to show off to my friends at work
[Captivate General] WhoTHCares:
I'm using wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk and have NEVER had an issue with my phone locking up. I wonder if people are forgetting to turn off WiFi and bluetooth on their phones, which may interfere with the tethering process.

As to encryption, setting it up was very simple and I've never had anyone else leeching off of my wireless.
[Captivate General] smeltn:
so I uninstalled my version, which I tried pre5, and pre8, none worked. Uninstalled, rebooted phone, installed pre7, didn't work, uninstalled ATM rebooted phone, then turned it back on and it works.. Weird...
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
the custom kernel isn't as bad as it sounds (all it does is to uncommented a few lines in the init.rc). But it does require Odin to flash it which is a hassle or error prone.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Nope. I used pre8 and don't have wifi or BT on. It crashed once. And refuse to work many times. And I have reboot the phone inorder to completely shut off the tethering (the adhoc network is still visible even if you turn off the tethering).
