[EVO 4G General] vboyz103:
Not sure if this is the culprit of my battery drain even if I used setCPU (with screen off profile) and/or UltimateJuice, I still get somewhat not too good battery life on CM6. So today just surfing the net and found GDE a new home screen which pretty slick, and decided to try it out. So after running GDE for a while, my batter seems to be better for some reason.

So my thought would be that ADW launcher is the culprit because after GDE, I don't use ADW anymore and when I was with ADW, batter seems bad.

Anyone can confirm this?
[EVO 4G General] YenahsYenzow:
I'd like to see the answer to this.

Although if you'd like a TRUE battery saving ROM, try Fresh's 3.2.0.0 (donators only) that is based off the HTC's latest 3.28.651.1 build along with a MUCH IMPROVED HTC kernel (BIG DIFERENCE ON BATTERY LIFE, AND MORE STABILIZED with Youtube, video recording, etc)

So as of now I'd prefer using Fresh when it comes to battery life (using ADW launcher), but when it comes to toying around...I like CM6 simply because it is SENSE-LESS.
[EVO 4G General] kudosmog:
I am getting horrid battery life on CM6 as well, seems my wifi isn't letting the phone sleep.

Had to switch to another ROM, but I really don't want to use sense...so I hope I can figure this out. After testing out a different ROM with ADW installed, I'll reload cyanogen and replace ADW with Zeam or something.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
well there are ways you could test this out more. you could run a true battery test something like running a movie from 100% till it shuts down with adw and then with GDE and compare etc. I think it is a big leap to switch homes and then say adw was the cause of your battery drain without any actual test or data.

I have gotten amazing battery life using ADW and i have gotten horrible life depending on what i have running my use etc.

for those that dont want to use sense you can remove sense from your phone for the most part. while it isnt asop you dont have to use/have sense running if you remove a few apks or in Damage Control its as s imple as selecting to ban sense and rebooting

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l7777:
The truth is that your warranty on the HARDWARE should be fully in tact. Rooting a phone and installing, or in your case removing, software should have zero effect on your warranty. Does dell void your warranty for formatting and installing linux on a computer that came with windows?

The reality is YMMV and could be argued by lawyers for ages with no real resolution. The safe solution is to return to stock software before trying to get any help from AT&T. I really doubt you'll get any satisfaction from them though. The only thing an AT&T rep can really do is swap out your phone for another and/or reset settings. Unfortunately very few devices actually have a hardware problem, most of the complaints that people have are software related and beyond the knowledge of AT&T.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Does the recent DMCA decision regarding the legality of Jailbreaking change anything? I don't think so. There's really only one way for flashing software to break a phone's hardware that I am aware of, flashing a GSM radio on a CDMA phone and vice versa. This actually fries the radio hardware.

AT&T when it comes to warranty is just carrying the water for the phone manufacturer. If AT&T decides not to warranty a phone, would Samsung cover it instead?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glio1337:
Honestly you're better off just flashing back to the stock ROM if you ever need to take it in to ATT for some reason. You'll just end up frustrating yourself unecessarily if you try to argue logic with the reps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

i have a million questions but i'll restrict this post to two for now.

a little back up...i have my evo unlocked and rooted on AVA Froyo V6 on MetroPCS' network. i have their $50 smart phone plan which has push email. this feature worked great on my samsung code from metro.

now on to the issues

first and most annoying - using the stock internet browser, while WIFI is OFF i can browse using MetroPCS data network. it works well and at their speeds. if i turn on wifi, no matter where, both the stock internet browser and skyfire suddenly start giving connection errors. if i turn off wifi they go back to working but on the data network. while these two arent working, market works, pandora, facebook, weather, etc. all apps work on wifi except those two internet browsers. i should also mention opera mobile WORKS. not SKYFIRE and not the default browser - which I happen to like more than the other two!

any ideas why? what can i do to fix this?

second and also annoying - the email app SUCKS. i use Hotmail for everything. i have my gmail account forwarding there, my university account forwarding there, my website accounts forwarding there. everything ends in my hotmail account. with my previous phone (samsung code running windows mobile 6.1) i had push email working wondefully and i got used to that. i know the network has the capacity to do it. i also know it's not a problem with the network and this phone, as the email app will download the emails when it feels like it. but then if i read the email or delete the email on the phone, it doesnt do so in the server even though I have it set to do it. also when I go in and click refresh it will tell me there arent any new emails when I know there are...and then when it feels like it later it downloads the email.

is there a program, whether free or paid, that will let me have proper push email with my hotmail account? i dont need any computer sync, just download my email on the fly, preferably as they arrive.

thanks much in advance!

if i can get those two issues worked out my EVO experience will be completely blissful:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
for your first question i dont have an answer.

for your second question have you tried k9 mail? It works for me doing something similar. I use yahoo and not hotmail but similar set up with all mails coming to that 1 email and it pushes them as i get them and dont normally have any issues with this. It also removes them jsut fine from yahoo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
i installed K9 and it's doing things well with one major issue...which i've now come to realize is the same issue affecting the stock mail app.

the phone can't connect to HOTMAIL's outgoing server. so it downloads the emails as they arrive and i can open them and what not. but if i read them, or delete them, it doesn't update them in the server. it also wont let me send an email out, saying the SMTP settings are wrong, even though it's setting them automatically. so all of these issues are because the phone is not connecting to the outgoing server!

what now?

anyone have any idea on the internet with wifi issue?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
That's very unusual. Presumably you're running some sort of modification (lagfix etc.). Is this the first time you've rebooted since your last flash/modification? If so what mods are you running.

Have you tried download mode (Home + Volume Down) or just recovery mode (Home + Volume Up)?

[General Topics] ncho2233:
Hi all,

I apologize in advance if this has been covered, but I had never heard of it before being burned and was amazed at how widespread this problem is so I thought I would give a heads up about all the fake flash memory cards being sold on places like ebay.

I recently bought a nice 32gb microSDHC only to discover that it was fake. How did I know? It wasn't from formatting it - that went quick and it reported its full 32gb capacity. It wasn't from a speed test on my phone - that also gave spectacular results, incredibly fast read and write speeds, even faster than the card should have been for its class speed. (I now know that was likely a sign that it was a fake). It wasn't even from the verification site of the manufacturer's website that I discovered it was fake.

I found out it was fake through a site called sosfakeflash and a single program called H2testw which I ran.

To briefly summarize the problem as I understand it: thousands of discarded or lower capacity flash cards are bought each day and then reprogrammed to report that they are more than their actual capacity. They are then packaged and sold to unsuspecting buyers. This is not a problem when you first start using the card - it writes your data and will read it back to you - until you start getting over the actual physical capacity of the drive, at which point some data has to be written over and although you may not realize it at first you will be corrupting your existing data.

The only way to really test a card is to back it up, format the card, and then write files to it until it says "I'm full." Then the most important part, to read back those files and see if any information has been lost or corrupted. That's what H2testw does. It will report, for example that it wrote 32gb of data, but read back only 2gb successfully. That kind of report lets you know that you probably have counterfeit flash.

Again, sorry if this is well known but I couldn't find anything about it here and thought it might help someone else.

Hey,

I found some applications from internet and decided to download it from the sd to the X10 . Later i found they were not in downloaded section of the market and hence will not call for auto update, this can be frustrating since i have to manually look for the update of the software.

Anyone knows the solution to this problem i.e how to put it back to the market downloaded section WITHOUT re-downloading it from the market.

Thank you
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
There is no solution for that. When download from market, it recognize that and the update shows up.

Can't come up for a single reason why bother to get them from the net when the market is much easier..... Except when you get illegal paid applications....

But I hope you don't seriously expect to get the updates for free then...

They're really cheap... Are there any issues or incompatibilities?

Also does the Class matter much? Like is it worth looking for a class 6 or is the difference on a Smart Phone not worth the extra money.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
The class is up to you, its not a huge deal to me, but some people a class 6 is essential.

However, be careful with ebay memory cards of any kind, be sure to do a test of the size as SOON as you get it. people Often will take a 2gb card and have it fake a 32gb memory card. So make sure you test it to make sure. I cant remember the testing program but im sure someone else will list it here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
The class is just write speed isn't it? So what do you notice that in? Recording 720p or something ?? :/ It doesn't seem like it would be that essential for a smart phone
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
32G for $18 = Fake. Buy it if you want, but it'll be fake.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
yeah, basically the class is the read/write speed, somepeople have seen some uninspiring results when comparing a class6 to a class2. It more has to do with data transferring.

It's not the wi-fi tethering app but a that's a good guess. I mentioned on my original post that I tried it with that software uninstalled.

Here's where it gets weird. I recently got a new captivate - my new one just died, no power at all. The first thing I did with the replacement phone was put cognition. I tried mobile AP and I'm getting the same results.

No it *isn't* Android, and never has been! It's poorly specified hardware!

Does the Dell Streak have this issue? No - because they allocated 2GB to the /data partition. Ditto the Samsung Galaxy S, though that has other issues!

Froyo A2SD is just a stop gap solution for the current generation of phones. It will become irrelevant once they start shipping phones with an adequate amount of internal memory.
