[Epic 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
Every1 should download switch pro which has the ability 2 disable data and then turn it on and off according to ur use if u don't use data that much. Leaving in on as well as auto sync causes drain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LordLugard:
You guys do know that if no data is transferring that your 3G connections goes dormant? All this turning off 3G is counterproductive in a way because even if you're connected to 3G but nothing is happening, the connection stays dormant (as in no arrows moving).

Having prefaced with that, i still find the battery drain annoying and haven't nailed down the precise reason yet. I have turned off most auto syncing apps i find unnecessary (except Gmail) or set them to check every few hours, but the biggest culprit seems to be the screen chewing battery. I have it set to the lowest brightness and every time i check the to see what's eating battery it's always the screen, sometimes 72% for me, not necessarily 3G.

Now, if you have a billions apps or widgets set to sync every micro second and are constantly pulling data then you have to adjust those. I just hate when some apps you download by default are set to auto update every 2 minutes...it irritates me to no end as most folks might not give a second thought to go into the apps preferences and see what's set by default and have their phone dead in a few hours.

I always put my phone in airplane mode when im in a place with no signal. But we should not be having to do this. Sprint better fix the radio.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Ive found that turning 4G on and leaving it on all the time fixes any 3g drain i had. since the phones basically use 1X to send/recieve (sms, phone calls, etc) the phone will only use data on 4g (email, internet, downloads, MMS, etc). 3G is a huge drain on the battery. since 4g idles when its not being used, battery gets all kinds of increase.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bomix:
+1 I have switch pro widget works great for turning off data connection.. I've noticed my battery drips slowy 1 percent 1/2 hour when idle give or take, after some heavy use.. it will drip down but then on idle it will stay constant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Doppler808:
I don't think it's 3G. If you guys ever notice if you have not used your device for a while it'll show 3G and under it the arrows disappears and a D shows right under it. IF I try and use anything that requires 3G it'll time out until the arrows come back.

Also keep in mind I have full bars in my area and have no trouble with signal. If you guys are in a low 3G reception area THAT will eat more battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
I remember seeing a free widget for the home screen that was just a toggle for 3g<->2g in the market, yep searching 3g widget found me a nice widget to control 3g connection also searching 3g toggle in the market netted a few other nice 3g toggle widgets.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
There are other threads in this forum that have already shown the battery drain is from the 3G radio. You can see this by checking out the "cell standby" entry on your battery usage. Even if you have full signal 24/7 the "Time without signal" will be at or above 50% and that indicates the phone is constantly searching for towers when it should not be. This happened previously on the hero and caused the same ridiculous battery drain. If you use 4G or wifi the battery drain stops also pointing to the problem being with the 3G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Doppler808:
I guess I am lucky so far I can get my phone lasting at least 10 hours consistently.

I believe 3G is the culprit. My fiance's Epic went 2 1/2 days on wifi only regular use
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Music_Rulez:
Hello xda members,

sorry if this is the wrong section... first time posting here :)

anyway, had gone along with the process of installing cyanogenmod 6 onto a G1 and have successfully rooted my G1 earlier today... done all the steps up until the final step where you need to flash the ROM onto the G1. (Have downgraded to 1.5 as i was originally on 1.6)

Then came up with the E:can't find update_script file error.

And it did NOT finish installing the new ROM. (clearly)

Then silly me accidentally formatted the Microsd card. I still havnt realized why i did this.

But now i cannot get back any of the folders/files needed that go on the sdcard.

Tried copying the files and creating folders etc to try and force it to work but i still get the same error everytime.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am wanting to use Android 2.2 :(

Regards,

Daniel. :)

are you using amon_ra recovery if so just enble usb mode and you will be able to put files back on your sd card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Music_Rulez:
no actually, i used the recovery.img... i tried putting the files back on from that img but i still got the same error as well as the cant open cache/recovery/command (obviously since there is nothing on the sd card)

i still got the same error once doing this. will i still get the error do you think with the amon_ra recovery?

i will try it at the same time as posting this :)

Q&A

How to add this to your ROM?

First, make sure mortscript is there

Add the reg settings I posted at your personal reg. (either at the OEM or at the EXT folder). This is done to ensure that CThme changer is enabled at first boot. Make sure that any other reg. settings/ ext/ OEM that effect CHome is disabled.

Add the CTheme Changer OEM to the root of your OEM folder.

Build your ROM. If on first boot you can't see CTC than enable it via CHomr editor and look again at your personal reg settings to see what is preventing it from showing.

All Other Q&A

Will there be a release with my resolution? - Sorry, but I am now roaming an android device so I have stopped working on this. I did post everything I got for someone to play around with ;)

Will the OEM work on my device? - HELL yea it will. As long as your device is WQVGA and has mortscript.

I need/ I want/ Could you... - keep this thread alive, post any idea you have there are some sharp folks who might be able to help ya out...

Lioryte,

Wooowooooooo!

I spent a bit of my human memory and the result was worth more than just, was EXTRAORDINARY! ;)

How to activate:

First TFLO deactivated my windows and I left as default, then went in the folder and simply enabled the CTheme mortscript and waited a few seconds and the result:

ALL TOPICS RUNS PERFECTLY! :)

As not seen it before! :mad:

That was all I wanted to have multiple themes in one rom, fantastic. :)

Want to test the rom? If so can I make up and you tell me what you think before releasing? ;)

Tks so much Lioryte !

mureta.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lioryte:
LOL glad you like it I hope that your i900 ROM users would like it too.

I only hope someone here@XDA will port it to other res. Simple really just resize the PNG's and convert the CPR's to the desired seize/resolution and place in the root of your kitchen's OEM folder...
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
the AM I flashed eugene's Vibrant9 rom. I had to register the phone with my google act. I can sync all but gmail. I can access all google apps online except gmail, when I try to access gmail online I get this message:

I have changed my google PW. At this point I just don't know what it could be, is anyone else having gmail sync issues? I guess it could be an issue with the rom but noone else is having that problem over in the Dev section.
[XPERIA X2 General] JJRockford:
Yesterday activesync (I sync with my gmail account) stopped working. Have removed the settings, added them again, but nothing helps. On my old X1:a, when starting the activesync application, I could at least get some kind of error message why it didn't work.

Now it just says "waiting for network". If I press "sync" the screen changes to "syncronising" and the green wheel starts to turn. This will go on for some minutes, but nothing happens.

It's also impossible to choose "Push mail" in the communication manager, that option is greyed out.

Right now I noticed that I can't get no connection to my Wifi. We have two computers in the same room, a Dell laptop and a Macbook, both connects to the wifi without problems.

When I check Connections->Wifi I can just see my own network, which is "not available" and the option "add new". Even though I know that I usually can see about 20 Wifi's, the house where I live is full of them! :)

I really want to like this phone, but it's not that easy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davrodg:
I have a small issue that may not be possible to resolve, but I don't understand why they have a BlueTooth volume control when all of my BT headsets and car stereo have independent volume controls, thus negating the need for there to be a stock BT profile with volume. This is only an issue because when I am wanting there to be an option to always go 100% volume with BT and use my current Media Volume for headphones and speakerphone output.

Does anyone have a fix for this? I have a theory that this can be done via Tasker (if that is the consensus, I will work on it and post a how-to if this is a popular request), but if this is a development issue and requires some BT Profile modifications, I can open a request in Development rather than Q&A.

Am I the only one annoyed at this? Or are there users that benefit from the BT Volume profile?

I always get blasted when using headsets or can't hear when in the car thus invalidating the hands-free component while I reach for the phone to hit the Volume Up button...

can i just stay on this spl and install custom roms?

or is it important to switch to an engeneer spl, for example the 1.76.0007?

and why are there no android 2.2 roms with a working camera on the 6.35 radio??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
No need for eng spl.

You need a custom recovery.

Try super eclair (2.1) it's a stable and FAST (also have JIT). The camera working.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654284

If you want froyo, then you need eng spl + flash of old spl/radio combination.

There is a tool for that in my signature...

But first (on whatever option you choose) you need custom recovery.

Follow my guide to root and flash custom recovery using the uni. androot app.:

^theres the link.

the code that i am interested in is:

*#*#7594#*#*

-This code will change the “End Call / Power” button action on your phone. By default, if you long press the button, it shows a screen asking you to select any option from Silent mode, Airplane mode and Power off.

why wont this code work for me(us)?

thank you.

p.s.-is there any other way to reach the aformentioned goal?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
First off, not to be a location nazi but this belongs in Q&A :p

Second, you can get rid of the second prompt (the one asking you to confirm) in cm6. So when you select reboot, or power off, it does it instantly w/out asking okay/cancel.

Also if you're not running an aosp rom, it might be available on a sense_ui rom so you could try there. I dunno if thats true or not seeing as i personally never use sense

On Windows Mobile, you can do 18001234567p1p1pp123 on dialing. The Idea is after dial 18001234567 wait then press 1 wait then press 1 wait then wait then press 123 automatically.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mellll:
This deserves its own thread. For more people to see.

Alright guys, here it is.

I was able to access recovery mode on my bricked phone in a way that all of you may think is stupid.

I have a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. My phone somehow bricked it self a few days ago. I wasnt able to get into recovery mode at all, no matter what I tried, how many times, and I tried every single method with no success.

People on XDA Forums were mentioning about heat somehow allowing you to access the recovery mode. Some said putting it facedown in the sun for a few minutes, some said plugging it in for 15-20 min, some said playing games on the phone to heat it will would also allow them to access the un-accessible recovery mode on their phone.

I tried all of them.

I put my phone in the oven for 5 minutes, twice, last night, did not work.

Ok I thoght to myself. Maybe I need more heat. To get it hot to the touch.

So I tried once again today, and what a shock, I was able to get in recovery mode via the 3 button - WITH BATTERY OUT, HOLD VOL UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON, then insert battery, and let go of the power button once your phone turns on.

Took 3 seconds to set everything to restore, in the recovery mode.

And done.

It worked for me.

If you are going to try this, maybe try with a hair blow dryer first.

I dont have one of those, so I couldnt, to be safer.

I will not be held accountable for any damage you do if you leave it in too long or damage your phone in any way.

This worked for me. Im happy I got it working.

The only thing which worries me now........

What if heat or cold can cause your phone to brick itself?

My phone bricked itself out of nowhere, no idea how. And what if it happens again.....

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Intratech:
LMAO @ holey s*!t it f**king worked in the video. This is a very good post for people having the no recovery mode issue but I'd probably warn them not to go the idiot thing hand heat the phone up until it melts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mellll:
Im so embarrassed people keep commenting about that. I dont know what i was thinking.

I told people to try a hair blow dryer if they have one available. Hopefully people who cant access the recovery screen can do it after trying that out.

It may take 3 tries like me, but damn for sure it worked.

Previously before that I tried 3 button methods for 8 hours in total, never got it once.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] japperrrr:
I'm wondering HOW the heat gave you acces to the recovery screen :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mickeko:
Ummm.... Did you try the pull the battery thing before heating the phone?

If heating actually makes a difference it may be a hardware fault, where a reflow off the board solves bad solder points. Same as with broken ps3s... I.m guessing that as with the ps3, the fix won't last... But in this case it may not be a problem unless you happen to brick the phone again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cruisin1966:

It took me 3 tries in the oven. You might just have to keep trying.

I was going to give up last night, but I said f**k it, going to keep trying and it worked...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mellll:
Alright so after re-installing most of my apps and games I just did a reboot (3 times), and it will not go into recovery.

After I did the oven trick, it worked right away. So I am 100% positive its heat that somehow allows it to enter recovery.

(I didnt let them take my phone, and they were out of stock, so I kept it to wait for more to be in stock)

When I was at the store a few days ago trying to exchange my phone.

A Bell store manager said that they have some special machine where they plug the phone into and it forces the phone into recovery.

I am guessing its a heating machine, maybe mini oven, in the back of the store.

This must be a Bell Manager's secret or something.

Im happy with my phone now, so its all good.

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cruisin1966:
Congrats.

Nothing has worked for me so far, and according to the chap on the phone at Best Buy, it looks like no stock will be arriving until mid-next week. I'll be dropping by the store for a rain-check, as I'm almost done my 14-day exchange window with no stock in sight.
