[Desire General] bradmax57:
For sometime now ive been having issues with my Desire not syncing contacts with my parrot handsfree kit, ive been putting it down to differences in roms as like a lot of people on here ive tried most available, however the first OTA froyo rom i tried was this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741775

Everything seemed fine but i got itchy feet so tried another which also seemed fine both were syncing fine, it tried a few more and then it started to fail with syncing contacts when you first start the car, so anyway i decided to go back to the first OTA rom i tried sucessfully and thats now doing the same, it just seems really weird that it works fine until i flash with another rom.

Any ideas?
[Desire General] seedar:
me too

Dont have an answer but have same issue with phone book not syncing to BMW bluetooth ULF. Works in more recent cars but not 2004 vintage. Must have changed the protocol in some way that broke it ?
[Desire General] bradmax57:
I could understand that situation but mine worked on a certain rom, then on a new rom didnt but when i went back to the one that originally worked it didnt work any more :confused:
[Desire General] bradmax57:
yay success, it was because either a) pictures stored against contacts and or b) auto sync of contacts with gmail, saw parrot had a forum and looked on there and someone was having the same issue, they suggested a fix by removing pics from contacts and also disabling autosync which is fine by me ill just enable/disable it from the power control widget when im getting in the car :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _Flaw_:
Hiya :)

Though i did search and search, i couldn't find an thread regarding my problem... which is...

Why is my function led always on?

I tried different roms, cooked roms and other stuff but couldn't get the fn led indicator to go blank... unless pushed for a reason... and i guess that's one reason why my battery life on tilt sucks...

Or is this some internal fault?

Help please :))
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] HeetMon:
Try turning off XT9 in keyboard settings. I think that's what I've seen cause this.

Install TiltKeyboardFix cab if you have not already. Should be a dl site linked on the Wiki.

Need to find out if the tether release has been updated...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dees_Troy:
Wireless tethering would drop a lot for me with pre7. I finally determined that there were several other wifi networks in my area that were using channel 6 (the default for many devices). Pre7 has a bug that doesn't let you change the channel from the front-end interface. I modified the tether.conf file using root explorer to change the channel to 1 and I don't get disconnected now. Pre8 should be released in a day or 2 with the channel change bug fixed.

[XPERIA X10 General] Ballfuzz:
Good day!

I've tried a few different apps now, Memory Usage, Advanced Task Killer, and I seem to hover between 110m to 25m. I kill some apps and it jumps back up to 110 and then slowly works its way back down to the mid 20's. Is this normal?

Tips? What is your available memory like?
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
To sum it up: Free memory is useless memory. You should have as little memory free as possible.

Explanation. Android handles memory management really well. When an app is opened and needs more memory it will shut down unused processes and free up memory on an as needed basis. For apps this can be everything from pausing individual functions all the way to saving an apps state to disk and restoring it the next time it's opened.

Task killers are mostly solutions looking for a problem, I've been running without one for months and my amount of free memory fluctuates as expected when surfing the web and things like that but so far there haven't been any times where I've had to free up memory. So don't stare yourself blind on memory meters and try freeing up memory. Android handles that well enough on its own. :)

That's good info! I kinda knew I was making something out of nothing with the numbers. The phone has been fine in terms of performance.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
my 2 cents....i typically have between 30-60mb free. phone does not lag or anything. i used task-killer for a few days when i got phone, then actually thought about what it was doing and the way the system (linux based) is designed. i ditched it and have not looked back!

ps. my phone is rooted R2BA024 firmware, fwiw.
[XPERIA X10 General] goth50:
I usually have like 80 mb free ram just for the case :D and i use task manager to kill apps that are using data connection when i dont need them :D
[XPERIA X10 General] suzed:
I got totally obsessed with task killing but having read a lot of the lads reports on here I am on my third day of not touching it and I have to say my phone is doing fine all by itself!
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I think you'd be better off setting up data synchronisation properly. I'm assuming you're talking about background syncing of course. So that you don't accidentally kill an app in the middle of a sync which might cause corruptions. I've had that happen when synching my gmail to a linux machine and the network went down, the cleanup required was insane and I lost a whole months worth of mails from the google servers.
[XPERIA X10 General] mymagicmyhero:
Heh...handles memory very well, but how about the battery life!? The more apps you have- the less power you've left.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
That's debatable, most background apps drain miniscule amounts of power. The exception naturally being things that makes use of the hardware while backgrounded by playing music, syncing, calculating pi or things like that. Most apps though, just hang out in memory not really doing anything. A lot of the time, if not most, it's more efficient staying there as opposed to shutting it down and starting it up again later.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
+1 yes, just hanging out idle in memory wont cost you any battery, the memory will be on an base current either way, what does cost you battery is the read and write actions to memory so if you frantically clean out that memory your phone will have to write alot more to it working with your different apps resulting in a slower (less prepared) device sucking more battery then neccessary. Leave the memory handling to your device ;-)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
I did a bit more investigation. I think replying to an SMS is putting a 0 where the + should be so instead of +1214-345-6789 it's trying to reply to 0214-345-6789

AT&T is choking on the zero.

See my setup below and see if you're running something similar.

the only work around is to compose a new sms, but its longer way to reply, but it works.

[Vibrant General] SquareBare:
I was wondering, do people go out of their way to make their camera's last? I was hoping to keep my vibrant for at least 5-6 years and use it as my primary camera on the occasions that I have a need for one.

I was wondering if you guys had any tips or suggestions for keeping the camera relatively clean and scratch free?

Maybe cutting out a small plastic screen protector to place on the inside of my gel case to keep my finger from hitting it would help, and then I could just take the case off when snapping pictures....
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
5-6 years O_O

Did I read that correctly? In a year the vibrant is going to be nothing more than an outdated phone.
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
You should not have any issues with the camera by just leaving it alone. I'n all my years owning phones with cameras, I've never cracked, scratched, or anything else and I just left it alone.

Don't even bother putting a screen protector. I'll start to haze up with time, and the images would not look crisp. I think you'll be fine.
[Vibrant General] cnpthe3rd:
actually I have had a problem (not recently but WAY WAY back on one of the first HTC phones the lens cover got scratched while it was in the case and it took bad pics after that) ever since then I keep a small square of blue painters tape over the lens it protects it from scratches and it comes off quick and easy if you need to take pics but as too the 5-6 year thing man WOW I am lucky if I keep a phone 5-6 months good luck.
[Vibrant General] Tamborine:
I'm in the same boat as SquareBare. I'm interested in buying myself a lens protector as well. As I have noticed fine scratches already, albeit I do take care of my phone religiously. And I do plan on keeping this phone for many years to come as I do not renew my contract. Though searching around has led me to believe I have to purchase the screen protector again to get the lens protector. It comes in a package. The only company that offers it, is realook. I looked into SGP as well, but they do not offer it for the Vibrant. Before you say that they do offer it, I have personally emailed them regards to the installation video that was posted on their website, and they confirmed with me the product is not available. Here is their email.
[Vibrant General] checktheemails:
You do know that the camera is available for purchase separate, right? If your camera does get scratched (or the lens) wouldn't replacing it solve the problem? They only cost about 30 bucks
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Actually the camera is pretty strong i guess, because after all i've been through on my past vibrant no scratches on the camera at all.

I dropped it from a 2 story house ( i was working on cleaning gutters bcz my dad was like pissed at me haha) Grass got into the bezel but thats it. i cleaned it a little bcz of grass stains and besides that no scratches no bumps etc. ( it dropped flat not top or bottom first)
[Vibrant General] AEguyNYC5:
The camera lens protector/plastic piece that shields the actual camera is only $3.48 with a minimum purchase of 5. So for less than $20 you can have 5 accidents and make it like new again everytime.

[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
Regardless of the phone not being up to par in a couple of years, it'll still make calls. I have backup phones that are 4 years old. They work, and are nice to bring along on roadtrips just in case I can't get to a charger and my phone dies.
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
I don't think they do that anymore. Or at least I didn't get a camera protector when I ordered my new set of protectors this past January. :(
[Vibrant General] Tamborine:
Yeah, I could go through that route, but why spend 30 bucks of having it to take it apart and replacing it, while you can just buy a piece of plastic that cost no less then a few dollars to replace it. I can't see a good reasoning for having to buy a new camera. Makes no sense. :confused:
[Vibrant General] dcontrol:
That's actually just a piece of glass that covers the actual camera lens, mine is pretty scratched but it doesn't seem to affect pictures any. I haven't seen any one selling that little piece of glass, but I'm assuming it wouldn't be too hard to replace.

Titanium backup will do apps and settings I know but and so will my backup pro but messages I don't know.

[Droid X General] floydiannyc:
I have this issue where I get a battery 10% battery drain within the first half hour of removing my phone from the wall charger. However, after that initial drop, the phone stabilizes and I'm discharging 10% every two hours or so, which seems very reasonable.

I've gone through the apps in SystemPanel and nothing I've found accounts for this daily anomaly. Any thoughts as to what this may be?
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
I believe the battery decrements are in the 10% scale, meaning, it goes from 100% to 90% to 80%. It doesn't do 99%, 98%, 97%.....etc. So when it jumps to 90% as you are saying, it is most likely at 95% or so, maybe a bit less or more, can't really tell.

That's what I have noticed anyway.....maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong.
[Droid X General] kamilli0n:
Mine does the exact same thing.
[Droid X General] floydiannyc:
That makes sense. Thanks.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
How do the 10% increments work? Rounded? Truncated?

Does 90% mean 99 to 90?

Or 94 to 85?
[Droid X General] floydiannyc:
You know...after rethinking this, your explanation doesn't make sense. If we go by this logic, when the phone reaches 89-85%, the display should read 80%. However, that's not happening based on the amount of time it takes the phone to display 80.

If we follow this logic, if the phone reads 0% it cold actually be at 9%.

I'd be willing to bet the phone displays the increments of 10 once it reaches that threshold.
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
I believe once it reaches the low threshold (25% I believe, not sure though) the decrements change to 5% from 10%....that's what I remember seeing anyway.......just let your battery go really low and see what happens.

I am trying that right now to see if I am remembering correctly.

I am guessing 80% means 81-89%, but I really don't know what scheme Motorola is using to represent battery reserve. Someone has to know, and hopefully they chime in.
[Droid X General] ZerkerEOD:
You don't expect it to stay at 100% all the time do you? That would just be insane!!!
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
I am sure no one expects the battery to stay at 100% all the time......but I think we all do, at least I personally expect the read out to be more accurate......there is no reason why the increments shouldn't be 1% instead of 10%.

EDIT:

I didn't notice if the readout went from 30% to 25% to 20% or 30% to 20%, but I did see that it went from 20% to 15%....so at some point the decrements change to 5% instead of 10%.

I've attached a screenshot of my phone:
[Droid X General] floydiannyc:
Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. You have perfectly interpreted my comments and distilled their essence. I expect the battery to remain at 100% for all eternity once it has reached full charge.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
Is the % derived from the voltage? Because just looking at it manually, the voltage jumps around (especially when plugged in/out). I've seen the same voltage # with 100% and with 90%, so there has to be some additional logic.

In any case, it would be good to know if 20% is really 29 or 16. That's a 2x difference.
