[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy956:
I used the 1 click method. So apparently i already have amon ra... but i've been using rom manager, and the clockwork backup feature in there.

And i'm getting into recovery by holding the volume down and power buttons.

Thanks for the help, I'll try it out
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
When you you boot into recovery using power and vol up do you see anything on the screen about amon ra (I think it says amon ra 1.6.2)? I'm not the most advanced user but it seems to me that clockwork would replace amon ra if you installed it through rom manager. Maybe both recoveries are on your phone?
[Droid X General] daedalusbound:
My menu button seems to have a problem in that it gets stuck, and will randomly, while I am using it, repeatedly open and close the menu, rendering it very difficult to use. Has anybody had a similar problem with a sticking button and have a solution? Or should I take it to the Verizon store? Further, if I have to take it to the Verizon store, would the fact that I've installed the leaked Froyo update void my warranty, and thus I should put the stock 2.1 update back on?

Thanks for responses in advance
[Droid X General] money226:
I haven't heard of this problem so yes I would take it to verizon. Secondly you should downgrade just in case the person you talk to is smart enough to figure out you upgraded to 2.2. Usually they aren't but some are and it does void your warranty.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathieumeuh:
Does the Galaxy S alarm work even is battery is critical ?

NO :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Mine does. Then again, one should ask why an owner would let the phone get to critical in the first place.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bobjase:
My battery was inexplicably draining and SystemMonitor showed continuous 100% cpu usage even though it didnt show any individual app using a lot of CPU.

So, one at a time, I started killing apps and waiting a few seconds to see which app was hosing my CPU.

No doubt, the subject of this post lead you to the correct answer: AppBrain.

AppBrain is a fantastic app, but it was using 100% of my CPU at 1.136GHz and it will killing my battery. I don't know why SystemMonitor didn't show it as using much CPU time, but killing it did the trick.

FYI: I am on BakedSnack 1.5 on Kernel #4 (the "Fastest" Kernel).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] surrealmethod:
How long have you had app brain?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bobjase:
I've only had it for a few days.

I only started monitoring my battery for differences because I just upgraded to BakedSnack 1.5 and whenever i install a new ROM i'm especially careful about battery life.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] VSack:
Please turn on system monitoring in System Panel to see what was historically killing your battery.

Its possible it could have gone rogue, but I've never seen that happen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bacdoliljo:
Did you come to this conclusion only after you turned off AppBrain and noticed a decrease in CPU usage? Did you try re-installing AppBrain to verify that it did in fact, increase CPU usage to 100% again? Sounds a bit like you're jumping the gun on this conclusion.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thecalip:
never have a problem with appbrain. Its latest version make it useful.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] oreoOozZz:
Yea, i always install app brain and its never gave me problems like that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bobjase:
I think my method of

Watch CPU meter sit at 100% for 5 seconds

if CPU remains at 100% kill 1 app and goto step 1

the most recent killed app is your culprit

is pretty sound. It has worked for me on many OS'es over the years.

Nonetheless, at your requests I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and seen the same behavior. System Monitor doesnt show any individual app eating the CPU but the CPU meter is at 100%.

I don't know what that means except that, for now, I am forgoing AppBrain.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] harold4:
System Panel shows CPU cycles per running app on the main screen. What are the stats?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] shad0w77:
appbrain works great here too... this is not a common problem with the app.... something else is messed
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
i have had no issues with appbrain. on any ROM i've used. have you tried to remove it and reinstall it to see if your issue returns?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] freddyamazin:
You might be right here I uninstalled it and my battery went back to normal
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
Been using appbrain since i got my evo. no problems here.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skydeaner:
The whole, "you are dumb it isn't appbrain, it has never given me a problem" needs to be kept out of this thread. he has a sound logical method, regardless of what a system monitor shows. If terminating appbrain ends a 100% cpu lock, then obviously it is a problem with appbrain or the kernel he is running.

how bout instead of everyone saying, "works fine here!" someone with the same kernel and rom as him post up and let him know how it works for them.

how would it make you feel if you were in his situation if someone said

"works fine here and has always worked fine on my evo"

or

"I am using the same rom as you and the same kernel and I do not have the issue"

The first is useless and assholeish, the second is called contributing and is what these forums are about
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
begone troll. you have added nothing here.

i saw no one in here that was rude or nasty to the OP.

i see several folks letting the OP know that app brain in general seems to work ok.

i see a few folks asking basic troubleshooting questions.

i see a few folks throwing out basic troubelshooting steps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Biofall:
Just a reminder XDA has rules regarding people policing forums XD

Annyway, I know for a fact that appbrain has kept my phone from sleeping. Using system panel, I have killed ALL apps, and slowly let them return. If my phone sleeps, I exclude the process so it won't be killed. After several repeats, uninstalls, and tests, it is appbrain that keeps the phone awake, though sporadically.

Just throwing that out there
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
you provided some kinda of feedback. that is good.

skydeaner provided nothing but an attempt to stir the pot.

and you call me out for it?

wow.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fopho:
I actually noticed my battery life being god awful the last couple of days (just installed app brain 3 days ago). At the moment I was going back to CM Rom however once i get there I will check to see if it is the cause as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bouchigo:
I also noticed the same thing about appbrain on my Droid X with leaked 2.2. I installed appbrain about 3 days ago and I started noticing my battery draining quite rapidly.

What made it really obvious that my battery was draining a lot faster than normal was that I had just disconnected my phone from the wall charger (100% charge) at around 6:45 am; I had not used my phone at all, but when I checked it at work at 8:30 am, my battery was already at 60%......that's crazy because my battery usually still reads between 90-100% at that time with no use.

Since appbrain was the only app I had added in the past few days, I stopped it from starting up at boot with autostart, and now my battery is back to normal. I think I am just going to uninstall the app completely.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] stroths:
There is an app you can install that works in conjunction with appbrain. I forget the name but it auto downloads and installs apps you pick in appbrain... even from a computer. Did you install something like that? I have heard it is bad on battery life
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SantinoInc:
Interesting. I am on stock 2.2 and can't say I really noticed any big difference after installing it. However, after reading this thread I'm going to delete it. I'll just use appbrain through their website instead which I prefer over the app anyway.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jobryan26:
Interesting. I have not noticed an issue with my appbrain either. I will uninstall it now and run tomorrow without it and see how things go.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
I have always had app brain installed...never noticed a problem but I'm interested in seeing what some people may find.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mmegalodon:
I too, don't have this issue. I heard this before and tested, might be an issue for some but for most...no. Think something else plays into it. And that fast web installer doesn't seem to be it either.

sent from my SUPASONIC
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Biofall:
Appbrain doesn't kill battery. You can check it's cpu usage with system panel and it's network with battery stats... It's relatively harmless
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Biofall:
Didn't call anyone out, just wanted to post a reminder
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bouchigo:
Well, I installed appbrain app market v3.9 and it certainly had an effect on my phone.

When I got home I charged my phone back up to 100%. I have been texting like crazy and surfing the web since 6:00 pm.....it's now 9:40 pm and my battery is at 82%....with appbrain removed of course.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Compusmurf:
Anyone that has appbrain issues, have Handcent SMS installed?

Just curious. May not be related but I'm noticing a strange, but similar issue.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jobryan26:
I can confirm "No issues with Appbrain" on my end.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] playya:
Yea been using AppBrain for quite some time.. actually like it makes my life easier and I have never had a battery issue.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] freexx89:
I have no issue with appbrain
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bouchigo:
I 'm using Handcent in conjunction with appbrain, well, I was, since I've removed appbrain.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] srtpusher:
i uninstalled appbrain because i started getting poor battery life after installing it. after removing only that app, my battery life was good again...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ALUOp:
I am using Vibrant not EVO 4G, but I also notice the same problem.

I installed AppBrain last night. Very good apps indeed.

However, I charged the phone to 100% before I went to bed, and when I woke up this morning, it became 62%!!!! Totally unacceptable!!!

I check Battery Use, and it reported AppBrain is accounted for 80% of the battery use.

I already chose "Manual" for Sync Interval, which is the only thing I could think of that would drain the battery.

I'm going to try it again tonight. But this time I will make sure AppBrain is not running and see how much battery I will see tomorrow morning.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pwnst*r:
B.S.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scooter185:
my battery has been crap recently too. Thought it was the kernel (i was originally running ava9 with the stock kernel, had great battery life. Changed to KK11 and had terribad life. did a full wipe and reinstall and have meh life), i just uninstalled appbrain. What's the worst that's going to happen? I have to reinstall a free app? oh noes.

I cant seem to find a single video player in the Market that plays a range of formats, primarily wmv and avi that I have downloaded.

Any suggestions? :confused:

I have to make the commute to work a little more bearable since I broke my Sony e-reader...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shadders:
i know that the 'rock player' plays avi and mkv files, have you tried that one?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BoogWeed:
Thanks for your reply, I just checked out rock player and it doesn't seem to work.... opens the video for a split second before closing it again... :confused:

I guess I'll keep looking.

Any dev looking to port VLC over to android? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shadders:
oh thats strange, it works on my hero (they have different versions for different devices, make sure you downloaded the ARMv6 one)

but tbh its not great because theres a lag between the video and the audio, most probably because of the hero's slower processor. i'm looking for a good video player as well
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BoogWeed:
Hmm.. Rock Player started to work by itself.. kinda.

Plays the video for about 15 seconds (very choppy, even after all tasks killed and using a blank Sense Scene) and then freezes the phone, have to remove the battery.. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mobydeek:
Have u overclocked?

My hero wouldnt run RockPlayer on 691MHz as MAX. Had to down it to 652.

in the end i deleted it, since the video was choppy. i guess the processor just isnt up to handling large video + i hate ruining films on a small screen.

there are some forum posts on VLC Forum about porting to Android... i think the conclusion was that it wasnt going to happen?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BoogWeed:
My phone is indeed overclocked, to 672Mhz.

I'll try messing around with the OC settings and see if it makes a difference.

I know the processor is *only* 528MHz (stock), but I remember watching videos perfectly well on my Packard Bell 166Mhz, 32mb RAM, 2mb Video card pc... :eek:

I think Android should be doing a LOT better with with handling Video, see my post in the "Android 2.3?" thread... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
There is a significant difference between the low quality avi files of the past and the h264 mkv content of today. Some of the recent files require a minimum of a 2GHz processor to run (understandably 1080p content, but still). And lets not forget about the instruction sets which provide desktop cpu's with a boost in those areas. Furthermore, considering your phone only has a cpu and no dedicated or otherwise gpu it isn't all that surprising.

Even running an average quality dvd rip avi file my CPU is running at between 15-25% and I have an overclocked dual core 3.33GHz intel cpu E7300 (25% is roughly 833MHz). Not to mention GPU usage, which at this time I can't be bothered to record.

I understand that this is not definitive evidence but I am using it to show that you are simplifying the problem. TV shows and movies that are ripped now have much higher quality resolutions and bitrates than those of the past, it is not surprising that they require higher processing power. Realistically a 528MHz low power phone cpu is unlikely to be able to keep up with these improvements. Just like the low power Intel Atom desktop chips fail to run 1080p video (even the dual core one) running somewhere in excess of 1GHz (think its 1.6GHz).

That wasn't meant to be such a huge rant... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BoogWeed:
HAHA! I know I totally simplified it but I guess I was just trying to say that a smart phone in 2010 should be able to handle video with no problems...

My upgrade is due in January, so new handset here I come! :D

Will be funny to see the (still awesome, despite my rant) HTC Hero become my backup phone... :D

how do you make it work?
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:

[Captivate General] beazie0885:
What he's talking about is on the swype keyboards if u swype from the tutorial key to sym (symbol) key (bottom left) it brings up a directional keyboard. Try it, you'll like it. Sorry op I don't ever use that other keyboard. Im sick with swype :p
[Captivate General] BignutSquirrel:
I have had this phone for a month and never knew you could get directional keys like that. That will definitely make edits easier. OP is my hero now.
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
Haha glad I could help. I'm curious why everyone uses the samsung keyboard, I feel its performance and dictionary are great but the layout is completely horrible. I'm talking mostly about the , ? and @ key locations. I just found an app called SmartKeyboard which has the layout of the Androod keyboard but includes the extra Samung features (in the pro version for 3 bucks). I think I'm going to spend the cash on this one
[Captivate General] BignutSquirrel:
The word suggestions on the default keyboard can be a bit hit or miss, but my only real complaints are the size and behavior of the caps key. Half the time I try to type an A I get caps and I still haven't figured out how to change caps in the middle of a word without going back and editing manually. I am looking forward to your review of that new keyboard. If it works I will buy as well.
[Captivate General] wildkarrde21:
Any reason why you're not just using Swype and its arrow key function? I guess some people still like to type thumb-style, but since I was a ridiculously sloooow typer (combo of limited # of texts + my obsession with grammatical correctness), Swype has been a godsend. I'm only moderately slow now :)
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
I come from a blackberry where I could type rediculously fast even while not looking most of the time so I guess I'm just used to this kind of style. I tried the swype keyboard with the swipe function but I found it laggy and slow for me to type. I guess if I gave it some time I would get used to it but with word prediction at 3-4 letters with the android keyboard I am a beast. My only beef with the android keyboard is the lack of a smart dictionary like the XT9. So far this SmartKeyboard trial is great but I think I'm going to buy it so I can try it with the dictonary and let you all know how it goes. When buying an app from the market, does it remember your purchase so if I wipe my phone in a week I can redownload it without paying again?
[Captivate General] BignutSquirrel:
Yes. As far as I know purchases are linked to your main gmail account. As long as you sign in with the same one you can download all your apps again.
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
Sounds good, I'll keep you all posted, is there a recommendable app for screen shots so I can post a mini review?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
If you are rooted, there is a screen capture app in the market. If not, you can use the android SDK and there is a tool - the Dalvik Debug Monitor that will do a screen cap. You have to run ddm.bat to launch the app, and have your phone in USB debug mode.
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
I think my next step will be rooting above anything else, thanks for the info
