[Droid X General] aholeinthewor1d:
i have been browsing so many different forums for the past 2 weeks and trying to see if anyone talked about specific things with the battery so i figured heres a good thread to ask my question......i got another battery sent to me from verizon and it seems to be doing a little better than the first one....i know all about not using task killers and i have no widgets at all...gps is off...screen brightness is almost all the way down....my phone will last anywhere from 5-6 hours all the way up to 30 hours.....i mainly use the X as a device...not ever really on the phone...so when i go into battery use and click on display it shows me how long the display has been on total....so i figure the time shown there is pretty much how long my battery lasts because when im doing anything with the phone the screen is on.....i think the longest i have gotten has been a total of 4 hours with the screen on...if i unplug my phone with a full charge and use it a lot it will be dead in about 5 hours...with the screen being on for 4 of those hours....if i spead out the usage i can get 30 hours on a charge but it is still only 4 hours with the display actually on....sry if thats all confusing just trying to see if thats normal...a lot of people talk about heavy usage but they never say how long the display as been on...so let me know the total your display can be on for average on a full charge....thanks a lot

when I browsed for like 4 hours (screen on 4 hours) my batteyr would go down to around 30%

I havent tested with froyo yet
[Droid X General] gchglobal:
I referenced this in another thread about battery life (as someone else posted earlier) but it happened to me again when I updated to Froyo. Battery life was draining fast. Look at Cell standby. If it says 50% you need to toggle airplane mode and possibly reboot. Then refresh your stats. I did that again after updating to Froyo, now 8 hours after charge I am at 70%. Wifi, Bluetooth, gps on, Screen set to auto, etc.

Check that Cell Standby.
[Droid X General] darknecross:
I was having a similar problem to this until I read a thread about recalibrating your battery.

While your phone is on, charge the battery all the way to full.

Unplug your phone, turn it off, and recharge it back to full.

Unplug it again and boot the phone

Once it fully boots, turn it off, plug it back in, and charge to full.

Unplug the phone, boot into recovery, and clear the cache.

Boot back into the phone normally and see how it works.

I did this earlier in the morning. Right now I'm at 70% with 8.5hr use.
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
I thought this only worked for htc devices

Also, I tried it and after you charge to full while on, you unplug it and turn it off and then plug it back in while off, nothing happens..light doesn't come on and neither does the CHARGING screen you see when you plug it in after batt dies...

So how did u get the trick to work after u fully charged it while on? Did your charging screen come on when you plugged it in while off?
[Droid X General] gobbles23:
I did the recalibration trick. Still crappy battery. I'm down to about 40 percent after about 4 hours.

I am more interested in when 3 get their arses in gear. Maybe I will be able to get an unbranded ROM before then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pedrodh:
I've created an app that does what "socket84" was talking here on the forum ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734151 ), which basically is a way to change the default home screen when the user presses the Home button. This works with a hidden setting from TouchWiz. I posted it on Market with the name "SGS Screen Changer".

NOTE: You'll ROOT and BusyBox for the app to be able to do it's work.

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.pedronveloso.samsunghsc/

I've only tested it with the European, Samsung Galaxy S so far.

I've tested with various different firmwares ( JM2, JG5, JM6, JM7 and JM8 ) and it's working ok. Also I've coded a backup mechanism in case things don't work as expected, and later you can restore the file to it's initial state, from the the restore button within the app, or manually by issuing the command "cp /system/default.propBackup /system/default.prop", but verify first that you have the backup file.

> Doesn't work on Froyo yet! The configuration files have changed in those releases, and I've not fixed it yet.

Also, it would be great if people could post the contents of their "/system/default.prop" file in here, along with their firmware number, so I can fix it for different non functioning firmwares. Thanks

Let me know if you've any questions, and all feedback it's appreciated. Also remember this is the first public version, so don't expect it to look pretty, I've focused on functionality and correctness first.

Change-log:

Beta 2 ( 20-08-2010) :

* Bugfixes

* Fixed screen numbering as reported by Limality ( thanks ;) )

Beta 1 ( 18-8-2010 ) : First release

IMPORTANT NOTE: Everyone who had installed the first beta should update it from the Market and set the screen to whichever they want, even if the app did work to them before. People who said it wasn't working, and the ones who said it didn't leave the 4th screen should update and select the screen they want and reboot. All those problems should be fixed in this release. I'll be waiting for further feedback on those ones to confirm if this solved their problems
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] flyguy729:
tested! working. great job. dont need any nice UI. this will do (:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2086469:
tested with rooted JM5.

not configurable. always get me to screen 4 despite setting it to screen 3 or so on.

"Restore to original settings" doesn't work after reboot it's still screen 4.

Any ideas?

Note: screen 4 is only good for 7-screens SGS. since I've 5 screens I want to make default screen 3 :D

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] JaGuR:
Sweet, thanks for this, will give it a ry now
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Limality:
the settings to set the homescreen starts at 0 meaning that:

0 = Homescreen 1

1 = Homescreen 2

2 = Homescreen 3

3 = Homescreen 4

4 = Homescreen 5

etc... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] JaGuR:
Not working here on JG4 Aussie firmware :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2086469:
Regardless what I set (tried homescreen 1,2,3,4..) still when pressing "HOME" button it takes me to screen 4...:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tommy34:
nice app!

might wanna just add 1 to all the screen numbers just so everyone gets it ;).

starting at 0 while the numbers shown in touchwiz are starting at 1, is kinda weird

\

so screen 0 = 1 and screen 1 = 2

edit: hmm not working here either on JM5 always gives the last screen as home screen, if i do it myself it works..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] khunjj:
Not work with DXJG4 :confused:

Maybe "One click lag fix 2.3" could be a cause ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pedrodh:
Thanks for everyone that tested it, your feedback it's apreciated :).

No, I've lagfix myself and I'm using MoDaCo ROM and it worked. Did you reboot after setting it? You must reboot for changes to take effect.

That's easely fixed, I really though it was otherwise because on mine it worked. I'll retest. Humm..Could be that some fimrwares accept 1 as first and others as 0 ? Has more people post I'll find it out. Thanks for reporting that ;)

The backup it's stored in /system/default.propBackup , you just have to do "cp default.propBackup default.prop" in some terminal as root in case to restore it manually, if the restore button fail's to do it's job.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jollyz:
work's perfectly on my JG5, thank you Pedrodh!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pedrodh:
Nice to know ;). By the way, you have BusyBox installed from the Market, or you had it bundled with your ROM ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] messatu:
IIRC, some firmwares (i.e. DXJG4) have a different /system/default.prop and hence will not work.. Cant change manually either
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jollyz:
I have installed busybox 1.17.0 when i put mimocan fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pedrodh:
Would be useful to have the data regarding which firmwares work, and which doesn't. If I did I could check it while executing the app and notify the user properly. Also, I'm in doubt if people who install busybox from the market have a different setup from the ones who doesn't. I'm issuing the linux commands like "echo" , but if the busybox from the market doesn't update the system Path I'll have to pass the entire path when issuing the command. I'll be waiting for more feedback from the users and begin sorting this out.

So far it seems that everyone who has MoDaCo and/or JG5 has been able to use this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pedrodh:
OK, updated the app. I found out what was wrong, should now be fixed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Everyone should update it from the Market and set the screen to whichever they want, even if the app did work to them before.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mike.sw:
Wish I could test it for you, but currently my phone is bricked.

Default screen is maybe the only option I am missing in TW.

However when I tried this hack in JPJG8 it didn't work, so if your app is just editing the /system/default.prop file, most chances are it won't work either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pedrodh:
Ok, I got a report that the fix did in fact work.

i don't know what i did to my phone, but it's back to 0.79.000, recovery shows "RA-evo-v1.7.0.1", i can't nand restore my backup because it just goes into a hellish loop... i've ran:

and i get errors.

i've tried installing a few different "PC36IMG.zip"s that i've gotten from here (mainly the ones for parts one AND two of root tutorial), but i get some "version older" error.

i can use adb from within ra-recovery, but don't know haw to exactly, so i might be doing that wrong.

please, if anyone can help that'd be super awesome.

thanks.

"Unable to capture photo. The maximum prefix count (999) has been reached. Please try moving or deleting some files"

Hi,

How can you tell if the Desire is brand new or a slightly used (99% new) phone?

With Windows phone, I can check the incoming & outgoing calls. But with Android, I have yet to find any info.

Please advice,

D
[Desire General] !PANDA:
well, the first thing you would see when you turned it on would be Language selection, if you did not it is used, however with a quick wipe, you will see this even if it was used..

try this, type in dailer, #*#*3646#*#* a menu should come up with different battery inforation. There should be one line with a number of hours of how long the phone has been on since turned on for the first time (from new)..

hope this helps! good luck!
[Desire General] dsymbol:
Hi Panda,

I tried that but it didnt work on my phone...but thanks anyway!
[Desire General] steve228uk:
Use *#*#4636#*#*

Then go to: Battery History > Total in all time

[Desire General] paprkut:
Look at where the battery goes and check for any marks etc that the first owner might of made when inserting the battery for the first time

If you click the percentages it will give you times.

[HD2 General] he3:
I got my wife a HD2 from tmo. She loves the hardware, of course, but the phone is stock and locks up way, way too often.

I was wondering if the custom ROMs suffer from this too or if they have alleviated this issue. I can flash her device easy, but don't want to play support desk for her.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I think this question relates specifically to ROM development vs general dev questions, but Mods please free to move or lock if you have to.
[HD2 General] gaarry:
Custom ROM's are generally very stable compared to the Stock, however, when I used my stock, it was stable as hell, it's just on a case to case basis. But sounds like on your situation, flashing a Custom ROM would help.
[HD2 General] rshabou:
on my stock HD2 i found that the more txts i had the more it would lock up, and every time i would clear them the phone would run perfect, but i hate to clear my txts so i use the energy rom by NRG. cant be happier.
[HD2 General] juggs:
Same here, mine was pretty stable with the exception of the messaging problem. But man are the custom's smooth and fast! My wife's on the other hand has had numerous lockups...

Sounds like you know your way around flashing but just make sure to READ, READ, READ so you don't end up giving your wife back a paperweight. ;)

The folks around the community have made it extremely easy to do but it's also just as easy to brick it. With the advent of HSPL3, the task29 exe file, I can go from Rom to Rom in about half an hour (after setting everything up on the new one).

As far as which ROM is best (if you find yourself asking that question); that's not a question that's really "allowed" here and usually gets a thread locked. I found that just reading the first few posts of each thread to get the jist of what they offer and then it all comes down to just flashing it, playing around with it and see if you like it.

[HD2 General] well_nuc:
have you tried the updated TMobile US ROM? 2.13...? It is pretty stable. I used it for a couple months. Recently though flashed a custom ROM (Elegancia GTX) for fun, and it is actually faster, and seems even more stable.
[HD2 General] pinhead:
The BEST way to make your HD2 stable...completely...is to disable HTC Sense and just use Windows Default (Titanium) or the older traditional WM Today Screen. Using HTC sense caused a need to reset my HD2 too often. Usually once a day or every two days at the longest between resets. With HTC sense disabled I might turn the phone off and on one or two times per week...and that is by choice usually.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
So as an over eager kid wanting PRI 1.40, I unrooted myself to see if it would work. As you may know it didn't. So after waiting and waiting for a 2.2 exploit I decided to take my chances with a refurb. I called up Sprint and informed them I had a burn spot on my screen. They asked me for my hardware version and once I stated I had 002, the rep immediately on my side for a replacement. I asked if I could pick it up from the store and he said know problem since the ticket will appear when they have my info. So at the store (42nd st. NYC) the tech knew nothing about EVOs and kept saying we are out of stock. So I asked for a manager and told her I just want to be placed on the next batch. In 2 days it was delivered; a refurb 003 (I could tell from the back cover :) I told the rep this important **info**. "O BTW I will update at home ok?" That right there saved my root. From an unrooted 2.2 HW 002 to a Fresh/KingKernal 2.2 HW 003...

[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
there are people out there starving for an evo, and you go to the buffet and pile on some 2.2 that you knew you'd probably toss? now some evoless soul has to wait for your original phone to be checked out and repackaged, and that ragamuffin with the Mogul and a full upgrade burning a hole in his pocket at the back of waiting list at that store has to wait even longer. all he wanted was a little android so his kids could play some new phone apps every once in a while. you are terrible - you did not think about the children!!!
