http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Incredible 2.0.5-pre12 is the latest version. It's working for me, but I never had problems with pre9...

MM
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jwjohnson:
I'm using pre12 (and was using pre9 previously). I have an issue where the device (laptop or kindle) that I'm tethering loses the connection after a few minutes of use. The app appears to be running still on the Inc, but no wireless picked up by the other devices. Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nathan_barstow14:
Mine does the exact same thing! After 15-30 minutes of use it will just drop connection. If I sit and watch the phone for a bit, it will eventually show the 3G icon dropping connection, and then picking back up in a second or two, then after that will drop again. Once it reaches this point it won't stop until I turn on Wifi Tether or restart the phone. If I try to use the data on the phone it's perfect, it only ever does it if I have been running Wifi Tether for a while...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
I wonder is your WiFi is going to sleep.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jwjohnson:
It may be. I looked in the settings for Wireless Tether and found one called Disable Wake-Lock. It was checked. I'll uncheck and try it again. Thanks.

Curious if anyone has installed the vanilla android keyboard on this ROM? I've tried pushing the necessary apk and lib files but am getting a force close whenever I try to change the input method.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
RMK,

Will you be providing another ROM update based upon the last update that is being pushed out today?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Umm....That's what 3.1 was. This update was leaked long time ago.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AznInertia:
I think he's talking about the Nov 3 update not the Oct update which 3.1 had...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
There's only one update, 3.26.605.1, which is what 3.1.0 is based on.

new market flash with hulu mod

I installed the hulu mod, but I'm getting notifications about a new version of flash from the market. I'm assuming I should not install it if I still want hulu to work, correct?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
Is there a way to have all of my facebook contacts turn into regular phone contacts? Like the way Cyanogenmod does it? Creating contacts then 'linking' them is quite tedious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Flash was recently updated.

Here's the new modded version:

Does anybody know if there is a file to get the flip clock on 3.1???? That is the last piece that would complete this ROM

Question for everyone:

While idling, how is your battery life?

While the screen is on, with nothing running, how is your battery life?

While the screen is on and something is running, how is your battery life?

RMK: I have massive battery drain while any app is open... I've told you about this during beta testing.

I had a full charge this morning (bumped). I had an off period during class, so I browsed the web the whole time (30 minutes). During that time, I watched my battery drain from the low 90's to the mid/low 50's. Earlier in the day I was playing music via 3.5mm audio-out jack in my car, while charging with a car charger, and had no % battery loss. By the time I got home (4:20-ish), I had under 40% battery remaining. I charged for a good two hours before going out to a dinner party thing and came up to 60%. I wiped & flashed Ruby 1.1.4 to see if my battery life was any better, but ended up restoring back to V3.1 and ended up with 55% afterwards. I've been home for an hour now and been charging the whole time and I am at 42%. I know this isn't a hardware problem on my side, because all the version of Virtuous Pre-3.1 have lasted me all day with heavy use and never drained me down below 30%.

[/longpost]

Sorry if that came across as mean-sounding in any way, 'tis not meant to be.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
If this is based on the new update why don't we have use of the Verizon apps? Are they just in the market or what?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stockmoose16:
System update?

I just received a system update running Virtuous 3.0.1. I can't seem to get rid of the icon in the notification bar, but a better question is, why is it showing up in the first place?

It says it's downloaded and ready to install. I'm worried that the update is going to auto-install when I restart, and thus, cause problems with Virtuous. What should I do?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I didn't know anyone in this community actually used any Verizon apps. One of the points of Virtuous is the fact that it trims out bloatware.

Sorry, I don't have any direct links for you, but I'm sure you can find the Verizon apps if you really want them.

Update to Virtuous 3.1.0 and you won't get nagged any more, because you'll be on the newest build of Sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Because unnecessary bloat has been removed. The only real addition that most end users would notice is the Vcast app store.Prior to this week, it would have errored out anyways. Hence the reason that it was not included- it was 100% useless.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nakk:
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I am running Virtuous 3.1.0 with wifi tether 2.0.5-pre11. I turn on the tether and all is great for a few minutes, then out of the blue it drops. The 3G icon is still showing on the phone with it attempting to upload information. On top of that, when this is happening if I try to access a website via the phone browser, it doesn't load. It's almost as if it disconnects from the mobile network. The only way I've found to fix this is to toggle airplane mode and restart the tether. This happens every few minutes :( This only happens when I tether though, everything else works fine (web browser, gps, etc) when not tethering.

(note, I've tried pre12 and pre9)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] billybob275:
From my experience, I've had a massive amount of battery drain from Amazon MP3 and PowerAmp on 3.1, but otherwise I'm currently at 58% battery remaining after 38 hours up time / 6.5 hours wake time on an eBay/HongKong 3500ma battery (including 1 hour of Angry Birds). I couldn't get an entire day out of it when I had both of those apps installed.

You may want to look into something like System Panel to monitor what apps are using your CPU while idle, that's how I was able to narrow down what was causing my problems.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
My battery life is usual outstanding - usually by this time I'm down to maybe 88-90%.

Today I'm currently at 63%. Odd.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynbiosVyse:
Why is the VCAST store useless?

I want to get NFL mobile and the VCAST store is empty for me ever since flashing Virtuous.

IMDB would be nice too, I can't find that app either.

Am I doing something wrong or do these not show up with Virtuous?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ttran97:
NFL Mobile, VCAST Music ID, and other VZW apps show up for me in the Market. There should be a tab at the top of Market for Verizon apps. That's where I got them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Does anyone get a file save error when starting WiFi tether? Also I get a force close when I try to view the log. Also, I can not change the ssid or channel after editing in settings.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
File error starting wifi tether.

I uploaded a screen shot of the file error.

I'm guessing that the changes to settings are not being stored for this reason as well.

Also, I get an error if I try to reload the binaries and config data.

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
You need to create an "android.tether" file on the SD card then drop the bin file in it. Do a search on wireless tether and you should be able to find the bin file needed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
That's the thing.

I have SetCPU with screen off and screen on profiles.

I have multiple things to look into app usage/running time, and everything looks normal.

I may do a radio downgrade to see what happens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Thanks, found the thread. Working like a champ.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynbiosVyse:
Yeah I know where it is, but when I clicked it there were no apps listed. It just said none found. I just did a factory reset and now I see them, very strange but all is well now. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gotroot801:
Was this resolved? I have the same issue with 3.1 and the 7.28 radio, but only on my university's wireless network - it gets stuck on "Obtaining IP Address". I have no problems whatsoever with 3.0.1. These issues are (or at least appear to be) kernel-independent, because I don't have any better luck flashing a custom kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
It's sad to say that I can also confirm MASIVE battery drain. I sat and used Dolphin HD browser for about 2 mins, did file browsing in astro and a couple of other thing on the phone for about 3 mins. and lost about 4 percent and I can literally watch my battery do down like crazy. The phone was fully charged and in only 1 hour of very light use and 1 10 min. phone call I am down to 80%. On my last rom (SR 3.2) I could make it 2 to 3 hours before im at 80%
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dalepl:
I am running 3.1 and the app store showes all the Verizon apps when I click the tab. The only issue I am having is the market app errors on me occasionaly when I update an app. All I have to do is reload market and press on and I usually get the update fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
Yeah, I can't explain this but I get the same thing with anything newer then Virtuous 3.01 (which gives me a solid 6 hours of heavy usage per charge on the stock battery).

I've tried both Virtuous 3.1 and the new Redemtive rEVOlution 2.1 and both work great for the first few charges. Then it all goes to hell and the battery is dropping like 10% per 30 minutes with the screen off in my pocket. I've tried to upgrade 3 times, always doing a full data/cache wipe, this happens every time. I'm 99% sure it's not a rogue app or anything on my end. I take extra precaution that the installed apps/running services are exactly the same as 3.01.

Next time I have a few hours free I may do a RUU and get the phone back to 100% stock then re-root and see if that fixes something. All I can think is maybe there's a corrupted file that isn't behaving well with those new roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
im running this rom right now, is there a way to stop the OTA. i tried editing the build.prop but still keep popping out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
I thought if you were running the latest version of this Rom, you would not be prompted to update. I haven't been prompted yet. Are you running the latest version?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
im running 3.0.1, maybe thats why. well, i got it fix through Root Explorer. I realized Astro cant save the build.prop file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dmtalon:
I have also noticed an increase in battery usage after switching to virtuous, and looking around using spare parts and system panel wasn't really turning up a whole lot. Noticed that the uptime was not exactly the same wake time, but it was a lot closer than it should be.

Noticed under Wireless that the enable always-on mobile data was checked. I'm pretty sure I did *not* ever have this checked in the past. I have disabled it and the phone is sleeping better.

YMMV and I've only just changed it so time will tell if it helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
When you said 1 hour of light use, was that 1 hour of awake time or of mixed up/awake time? I'm usually getting 1 hour of awake time = 20% battery or more, meaning the maximum battery life I've had while awake was 5 hours. I thought this was good, after reading your post, now I'm confused lol. With SR 3.2, was that 2-3 hours awake time with the stock battery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
that was 1 hour mixed. I compared that to the 2 to 3 hours of same use on SkyRaider 3.2 on a HTC OEM 1500mHA. battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I get the same type of awake time.. 1 hour ~= 20%, though sometimes closer to 25%..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
I had 45 minutes (1 class for me) = 20-30% drain. It varied each day but always drained in between those percentages.

Now I've switched over to Desire Z and couldn't be happier. It's 11:54 pm now and I have 54%. With Virtuous I would be around 40%, on my second charge.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] parcou:
new guy question...where do I find the install to add the reboot option to the power button :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
In ROM manager> download ROM> Virtuous> extra goodies> and check the Hot Boot box and hit OK, no need to wipe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
No one is mentioning whether they're data-connected via Wi-Fi vs. 3G. Wi-Fi uses less battery power than 3G. I've got it set for always on when at home and this seems to preserve a significant amount of battery power, esp. at night.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mhamann:
I have serious battery issues with this ROM as well. I've tried both the stock kernel and the supposedly less power-hungry modified one.

It guzzles battery when the 3G is on, and is much better on Wifi only. For example, I can only make it about 8-10 hours on 3G whereas on Wifi, I can make it through a whole day more or less.

Even so, I feel like SkyRaider had a lot better battery life for some reason--can't really explain that one. I switched back to Virtuous, because SR had stability issues, deleted every single text message on my phone, rebooted randomly, etc.

Would love to find a solution to this battery stuff, though! It's really the only flaw this phone seems to have! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I never bother to use wi-Fi, sorry. All 3G radio, but not always 3G radio use (not everything is data moving)..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
I'm mostly on 3G as WiFi is usually not an option for me when I'm on the road.

Sent from my home away from home (truck) on the phone thingy my wife hates.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
Ah, I see. Yeah, I'd say something's wrong then. On a side-note, which 1500 battery are you using (touch pro 2 from bidallies, 1500 from htcpedia, Evo battery, etc) and how well does it fit?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
I don't recall having even ever turned on my WiFi, I always use 3g lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
it is the HTC OEM EVO 1500Mha. from bidallies. I bought it about 1.5 to 2 weeks ago and it does great but I still need a bigger battery. I think i may buy the 2100 or 3500. I'll sell this 2 week old one to ya for $8 including shipping if you are interested.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
forgot to mention that the fit is good. It's a little snug but the back goes on and there are no gaps. Phone is a couple of oz. heaver but not noticeable unless you pay close attention.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] lennie paz:
Very strange problem with this ROM. Every now and then, I get an incoming call but the phone doesn't ring. The caller id comes up showing the person who is calling me but it's not the right person. The caller id shows the last call that I was on and when I hit answer, then it shows the correct person I am talking to. I did wipe the phone before installing the ROM. Most of the time, the phone rings and I do see the correct person on the caller id.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I have the best battery life yet and very rapid change time since putting the latest stock kernel on 3.1. Very happy now :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] F'n Amazing:
just updated to 3.1 yesterday, was a bit nervous considering the mixed results people were having, and 3.0.1 working fantastic. so far so good. will monitor battery life to see if its much different.

got on the virtuous train @ 2.4 i think and havent tried any other rom since.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
Hmm yeah that definitely sounds like something I'd be interested in. How much of an improvement did it give you over the stock battery? It's great to hear that it fits perfectly, some people were saying they were having gaps and all sorts of stuff lol. And sorry, I have to ask this because I'm kind of anal about this sort of stuff - did you give the battery a full charge before you first started using it? I know most people say with newer batteries it doesn't matter and such, but it still makes me feel better :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBones1:
battery stuff

Guys,

Maybe some of you will notice the same things I have. I was actually having spurts/days of insanely good battery life and days it was really poor... I've noticed a few things. One of the major things is that upon booting my phone a TON of apps/programs seem to auto launch and while they may not be used technically I can't seem to get it out of my head they aren't part of the problem. These were things like the fm radio, shop savy, titanium backup, facebook, flickr, maps, evernote, and a few others. These however would not show up as running in system panel. I could only see them if i went into my applications menu and looked at running applications. I force close them and it seems to help my battery. Only one i feel i'd be able to do without would be the FM Radio. I've heard disabling/removing facebook can mess with contacts (yes i like the integration and pictures showing up), the others are apps that i use so i dont want to remove them.

anyone else notice this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
I've kind of noticed that to a certain extent.. usually on the days that the battery life isn't spectacular, I'm spending more time in areas with little or no coverage - this affects the battery life a lot from what I've noticed. As far as FM radio goes, you can go into Virtuous Buddy and disable it (you can always re-enable it at any point). You can do this with pretty much anything by using Virtuous Buddy - hopefully it'll help your battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nakk:
For those who have working stable wifi tethers... we need some info!

Which version of Virtuous are you running?

Which baseband are you on? (7.28 or 9.01?)

Which version of the tether program are you running?

I just wanted to know because I was tethering perfectly before going up to 3.1, but I'm still on 7.28, not sure if that's the reason why.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
I was getting the horrible battery life like others are talking about too after upgrading from 3.01 to newer roms like Virtuous 3.1 and Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1. I posted a few days ago that I had basically narrowed it down to a corrupt file, since I was 99% sure it wasn't the cause of a rogue app. Since then, I did a complete RUU wipe/reset and rooted again. Thus far (after 3 days), things have been much better for me. Before this I would only get about 1 day before things went to hell and the battery drain would start. Also, I'm on the 07.28 radio with the 2.6.32.17 kernel.

So this is just a suggestion for anyone experiencing the same problems.

Factory Reset -> RUU -> Factory Reset Again -> Verizon Activation (setup should ask for it now) -> Root -> Go to Clockworkmod, Wipe data/cache/dalvik, then install the new rom. -> Give it a full bump charge and wipe battery stats.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n99hockey:
3.1.0

7.28

Whatever version came with Virtuous 3.1.0 (2.0.5-pre11)

Have no issues, tethered my laptop just the other day on a construction site to download and view drawings from our office server.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elwray:
Heh, exact same specs for me, and just used it for the exact same reason!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nakk:
Good to know! I am having a strange issue where when I tether (even with EasyTether), it works for a few minutes then websites start to fail to connect (status bar says sending request... in computer web browser, and browser on phone doesn't load any websites either). However... if I was connected to IRC I am still able to send and receive messages. To fix it I just switch airplane mode on for a few seconds, then off and it's up for another few minutes. Not quite sure what the issue is there, but I may just wipe and put 3.1 back on.

Edit: I'm under the assumption that you guys are on stock kernel, is this correct? Or are you running the custom kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
I've had battery issues like this in the past, and I've never done a RUU and still solved it. But it came back with 3.1.0.

Why wouldn't a normal CWM wipe be enough of a wipe, anyways?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
I have no clue. I got the idea from this thread which was meant for fixing an issue with 3g. I didn't have the same 3g issue, but I figured if a full factory reset, RUU, reactivation was one way to fix that issue, it might work for this as well.

So far, it seems to have done the trick, although I can't really explain why. My best guess is that certain files (corrupt maybe) were not getting replaced by doing a normal CWM wipe. I wasn't too confident, but the only reason I even tried was because I had basically given up on ever upgrading past 3.01 (which sucked because I liked the new roms a lot). It was my last resort, and luckily it seems to have worked so far.
