DUDE SAME HERE!!! I thought I was like the 3rd person to even have p1i.... It was a f....ing dump, hardware camera, bla bla bla is great..... UPDATES NONE!! There were like some firmware updates, but there was absolutely no app support. GDesk was like OMG..... then nothing was really supported, it was just horrible waste of money..... 500 bux for a barely function "smartphone".... THAT Thing was crap.....

Funny story, I have a friend that works for SE in San Diego for Product Marketing. She's all please support SE and by the Xperia X10, I was like don't even get me started..... She STFU..... only if she offered a BJ.....

Sorry guys /rant.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
Speaking of SE San Diego, I just came from the Sony Style store in Fashion Valley Mall here in San Diego. I finally saw the X10. After rebooting it, I started to play with it and check out the apps and settings. I didn't like it from the get-go. I just had to put it down and checked out their 3D TVs instead :cool:

Getting a hands-on experience with an X10 was like a step back. I've been a Sony Ericsson user for years (owned 3 phones and loved them.). I was disappointed on this one. I was playing with my coworker's HTC Incredible. Incredible phone indeed! This is what got me to take the Android plunge! (I've owned 2 older HTC devices). Since I'm still with AT&T (I didn't want to jump ship yet) and I didn't want to settle for the HTC Aria with a slower processor, the Captivate was the best choice for me.

I agree stay away from Qualcomm. They helped screw a lot of people with the whole 'missing drivers' problem a few years ago.

I think the company is called Intrinsic (sp?) Anyway they designed Hummingbird for Samsung and they are also owned by Apple.

Actually, that would be Samsung who licensed A8 the architecture from ARM.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hah2110:
I have a Vibrant and my mom has an Aria. Tried to Fring Video Call her and, on my end, it said she had no video input but my video was shown and on her end, she saw the cartoon image in my place.

Any ideas on why this isn't working?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Gorilla800lbs:
Aria does not have a front-facing camera. When you start Fring, it warns you to that fact, and asks whether you want to use video or not. If not, it disables video altogether, if yes, then it uses the outward facing camera. (The video will work, but will be practically useless -- to let the other party see you, you'd have to turn the phone around and point the main camera at yourself, which means that you don't see the screen and YOU won't be seeing the other party.)

Looks like your Mom selected "no" when Fring asked her that question.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hah2110:
I get how it works... But I never had that prompt on my Vibrant. Is it in the settings for her to change?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Gorilla800lbs:
That would stump me too, because as far as I know Vibrant does not have a front-facing camera either...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hah2110:
It has nothing to do with having a front facing camera. It just has to do with having A camera. Fring doesn't require a front facing camera. It isn't AS cool, but is still semi-cool to do the video chat with the rear cam.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Whoareyou:
Its Didnt Prompt you because its sa Galaxy S Phone, and The orginal Galaxy S Has Afront Facing Camera so it thinks your on a Galaxy S or Epic 4G it has no way of Knowing that your Model of Galaxy S Dosent Have A Front Camera it Just knows you have a Galaxy S
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hah2110:
So what about on my mom's Aria? How do I make it use the rear cam and how do I get hers to view mine?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Whoareyou:
Just open settings in fring and enable video calls
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hah2110:
That isn't in my vibrant, should it be in her aria>?

EDIT - it worked - THANKS

[EVO 4G General] pookieguy:
Thought the title would get your attention.

After upgrading to Froyo, I have many issues, two of which I'll cover here in hope that someone can resolve them.

First issue is battery life. Absolutely horrible after upgrading. Thought it would be the opposite. Can someone please provide some resolution to this issue? I've disabled a number of things said to resolve this problem but none have worked.

The second issue is the accelerometer after upgrading. Most screens end up in landscape view and switching back to portrait is difficult. I have tried to calibrate it but that didn't work. Don't like the huge delay or failed attempt to switch between both on this version. Calibration does not work.

Any help is appreciated...
[EVO 4G General] DJ_Bizarro:

[EVO 4G General] pookieguy:
screen

Why would I want to uncheck that option? I want it to auto rotate but want it to happen quicker than it has after upgrading.
[EVO 4G General] pookieguy:
battery..

In addition, the battery is obviously not the problem here. This started after upgrading to Froyo.
[EVO 4G General] Gregalous:
Were you using a custom ROM with 2.1?

Are you using a custom ROM with 2.2?

As far as I know, the stock ROM with 2.1 didn't have great battery life either (thought I'm not sure, I rooted my phone the day I got it :P). So if you're using a stock ROM with 2.2, you could have the same issue.

Also, if you are rooted, try using SetCPU. Even with the default kernel you can use it to underclock your phone when the screen's off and save a lot of battery.
[EVO 4G General] yang704:
You hate Froyo then please return your EVO to sprint
[EVO 4G General] tonyh703:
are you running a task killer? try removing it. Have you tried any of the MANY battery life tricks? Try flashing the update.zip, could have been a messy install. you also could be suffering from useritis.
[EVO 4G General] pookieguy:
root

Thanks for the reply. No, phone has not been rooted. I simply waited for the 2.2 upgrade and can confirm both issues are a result of upgrading. You are right...the stock ROM did not have good battery life. However, after upgrading, it is much worse in comparison.

The g-sensor issue is also a huge problem. With that said, I'm looking for a fix to these two issues.

Thanks,
[EVO 4G General] pookieguy:
task killer..

tonyh703,

Yes, I'm running Advanced Task Killer which did not have a problem before. Is this an app that can cause this problem? I'll remove it if so...
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
You really need to do a little detective work to find out why your battery is not lasting. My battery is actually lasting noticeably longer on froyo. I was using Fresh 1.0.1 before with Netarchy's kernel and would just barely make it through the day of moderate use. Now that I have updated to Fresh 3.1.0.1, I am easily making it through the day with about the same use. Yesterday, I went 14 hours and still had 26% left when I plugged it in for the night. My usage was about 2 hours streaming last.fm, about a half hour of phone calls, about 1 1/2 hours of internet and twitter, about 45 minutes watching video's, and an hour and a half of reading with my kindle ap. To me that is pretty darn good. I have gps on, twitter syncing every half hour, and google sync on, most of my other stuff like email and such is set to manually sync. The only thing I did notice is that the first day after going to Froyo, my battery went down pretty quick, but after a day or two it settled down to the way it is now on it's own. Today I have had about the same use as yesterday so far, and have been off of the charger for 11 hours and have 76% remaining.

As to your other problem, can't say, mine is working fine.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
If youve got an led flashlight type of app installed uninstall it they conflict with the HTC LED flashlight. That seems to be the most common problem with people upgrading to Froyo.
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
Agree on your second point. I wish there was a way to at least lock the screen to an orientation when need. The delay though is ridiculous.

I have also noticed that the delay to type sometimes is severely long causing me to retype the words a second time before they appear in the screen.
[EVO 4G General] jgohil:
FWIW - I found a little trick on a forum somewhere that allegedly came from HTC techs...

It goes like this - first, charge your phone as normal (phone on, 8 hours)

Then, after 8 hours and the phone reporting fully charged status, take the phone off the charger for about 3 minutes (just enough to slightly discharge it) and then turn it off (power down) and put it back on the charger for an hour or so.

Then, take it off the charger and turn it back on.

That's it! It sounds a bit ridiculous, but I think the cited reason was that whenever you install a new ROM, the "system" needs to understand when the battery is truly full and this trick helps to recalibrate and ensure that it is.

I really don't have any way (nor the desire) to verify the science behind this, but I did it myself after the horrible battery life I got with FroYo.

About a week out now and my battery is behaving completely normally, and possibly better than with 2.1, though only marginally if that...

Give it a shot - if it works, there you go, if not... Well it's not like you've lost anything.

Good luck, though YMMV.

have any of yall had a long delay when putting in a name for the reciver in sms? I kid you not it takes almost 3 to 5 sec for it to pull up a name and phone number from my phone book.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
Its sad that you need to do "tricks" to get decent battery life, because most people expect it out of the box. Yes you can apply a custom rom with a undervolted cpu, but that shouldnt be necessary. I personally love doing all that stuff, but the majority of people are completely ignorant to these methods and might return their phones because of battery life, but for you people on here...BAKEDSNACK 1.2.5 with the latest of his kernel..amazing battery life.
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
Get rid of that task killer!! Froyo does not need it... Not to mention none of the task killers support Froyo correctly. Uninstall it, try using Froyo without it.
[EVO 4G General] mprunty:
I recommend getting rid of the task killer and go without system panel lite. It works with froyo without any problems. I also recommend letting your battery completely die out before charging it again.

My Evo worked without any issues after the update to froyo. Also, if you are a widget fanatic, I recommend limiting the amount yo u use . The reason being that everytime you unlock your phone and scroll from one page to through next, you are loading said widgets into memory which help to eating up the battery quicker.

Also if you have a lot of things updating in the background, that can kill your battery quicker. I'm always on my phone and get anywhere from ten to fourteen hours of use. I also use a cpu manager to extend the life of my battery when not in use.

[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
DO NOT DEPLETE YOUR BATTERY COMPLETELY!! These are Li-ion batteries. Depleting the battery too much can damage the cells. Discharging the batteries 100% before charging to avoid memory effect is a phenomena unique to Ni-Cad batteries. If a Li-ion is discharged too severely, it causes an irreversible reaction inside the cell that prevents the battery from holding any charge at all. This common in laptop batteries.

To the OPs issue, do you have the latest Facebook update (1.3.1)? Version 1.3.0 had an issue that was keeping the phone awake eating up battery life.
[EVO 4G General] BAleR:
I could see how this could be bad if you discharged it completely every single time, but every phone ive had including the iphone, it has been specificly stated many times to COMPLETELY DISCHARGE THE BATTERY ATLEAST ONCE A MONTH
[EVO 4G General] pookieguy:
Still no luck...

Guys,

I have removed the task killer and have removed the other LED Light utility. Still having battery issues. Any other suggestions please??

Also,

What about the accelerometer? Having many issues with it. First off, when a text msg comes in, it automatically shows in landscape. Phone switches to landscape fine but it is very difficult to switch back to portrait.

Any other help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
[EVO 4G General] pookieguy:
fixed g-sensor

I just fixed the accelerometer issues.

Now back to the battery.

Any ideas would be great. The only thing I can say I'm using is the SMS Popup app that notifies you of an SMS by turning the screen on.

I've removed all other apps you guys mentioned here.

battery life is horrible after upgrading.
[EVO 4G General] jorgephnx:
I don't have the list in front of me, but there are some sites where you can read some tips to extend your battery life. I did it and now my battery lasts for 12-15 hrs with moderate usage. But basically you have to turn off some services and apps that are constantly connecting to the internet in the background and those drain your really fast. at least for now put a widget on yuour desktop to turn off your mobile network

(3G) when you are not using it. just google battery tips for evo and you will find them.

good luck.
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
How long have you had froyo? I had the same issue with mine but found out my battery stats got all messed up after upgrade giving false readings. I do have custom recovery and knew how to reset from there. Pretty much what I did was fully charge it, reset battery stats, deplete battery, charge to 100%.

Ever since then no battery issues.

I also know this issue goes away after about a week of normal charging.
[EVO 4G General] jazmatician:
I'm seeing in system panel that the cpu is staying MUCH higher than it did on 2.1. Before froyo, my cpu would bounce between 230-460mhz. Now in froyo, it stays in the 700 mhz range, never EVER near 230.
[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
Have you tried Juice Defender? It automatically keeps things turned off until you need them. It also underclocks the CPU during low usage to conserve battery.I've only just installed it yesterday but I've heard a lot of good things about it. It can be found in the market.
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
A factory reset usually will fix most of these problems your having. That's what fixed everything for me. Try that..

So I bought the vertical leather belt case t mobile has specifically for the vibrant a few days ago and wasn't feeling it (was extra thin and poked my belly when I sat down). So today I went to return it to get the horizontal one, but they were out.

I walked around to see if I could find something similar, and boom; one of their universal holdsters fits mine, but it was a little loose, then I remembered I was gonna get the gel case, so I went ahead and got that. Tried them together and it was like magic!

Here it is without the gel skin:

Here it is with it on:

Some more pictures to show fitment and size and such.

Total was 2 (universal case was on sale) and got the gel case for 14.99 =16.99

Much better that the 24.99 for the vertical case I bought in tyre beginning.

the SKU for the case on clearance is SUPA31526.
