yess it drains my battery and slows my phone down

even if i kill all the tasks

i once installed waether widgets along with ADW lanucher

@jojo1212

Read my above post..give it a try and let me know..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_knows:
I use ADW and Juice Defender (just to toggle my APN/Wi-Fi when I turn the screen off), and with light-moderate usage (send like 100 texts, about an hour of browsing) I can easily get 2 days out of it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
I had pretty decent battery life with ADW...although Im now running Live Home as I find it much nicer.

But something weird I noticed I guess I could mention...I do like the default launcher but when I use it as home I have notice SIGNIFICANT battery drainage and I mean fast! When I go to check battery use my 'cell standby" is like 85% give or take a couple even when the phone has been just sitting there for a few hours. Its like it never goes to sleep...however when I use Live Home or even ADW for that matter my "cell standby" is usually around 30% or less.

Anyone else get the same thing?

I actually just checked my cell standby and its only at 14%....where as with the default home its 80% or more.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iphonepimp:
@gupta

I don't really call people much. Mainly text fb, Twitter, browsing, and fiddling. Maybe that's why I can get my phone running for 4 days? Mind u I do browse a lot
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Then I think that will be your biggest issue, screen and wifi/data being used for prolonged periods of time is going to drain the battery, but some apps have been known to be battery killers too, but it's trial and error pinpointing them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saltorio:
Yeah, I'm with XperiaX10iUser on this. More than likely it's your data usage. I've been using ADW for a few months and haven't noticed any impact on my battery because of it.

This past weekend I was at the cottage and thus had no signal. So I threw the phone in Airplane mode, and my battery was dropping at like 1% every few hours of non-use. I'd think if ADW was the culprit the battery would've been draining quicker than that, since it was running the whole time.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwepruk:
ADW's been great for me.

I've routinely posted that I can go three days of light use with wifi/3G/BT on.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvictorg:
I also experienced extreme battery drain with ADW. I installed it about 2 months ago and it killed my battery in a couple hours, tried reinstalling it and changed a few settings around, same thing. Needless to say I uninstalled it and went back to Helix and have been using that ever since. Maybe I'm one of the only other few out there to experience it, but ADW did drain my battery very very quickly, so you're not the only one!

Don't have battery issue so far.. It's the best launcher I've tried so far. so smooth compare to the stock one even in 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tralerprktrash:
I noticed that launcher pro is a bigger battery hog than adw
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxStyle:
What everyone thinks or notices is not important.

Use a battery profiler and you will see where is the problem.

In my case: face recognition, learning client and drm something.

I froze all of them and now top battery is Touiteur :P because is doing updates every 5min,

[Hero CDMA Android Development] smash58:
I have a strange problem with my Hero that is hard to describe. Even before I rooted my phone I had this problem which leads me to believe it could possibly be a hardware malfunction. Anyways..

The problem is that over time after a complete wipe and flash of a custom rom (I've tried several) that my phones slowly deteriorates. It will be running fast and great for a week or two and then its starts to slow down to the point where it is completely unusable and I am forced to wipe and flash again. While its acting this way I have tried killings tasks, emptying cache, hard resets... every simple solution I can think of....

The other odd thing is that I use my phone very lightly. I only install 4-6 apps and those are the basics like pandora and such...

And I'd like to add that maybe I'm wrong about my phone acted this way when I had 1.6 official on it. It's been awhile.... so maybe I corrupted something when I rooted my phone for the first time?

Really I wish you could see the way my phone acts... its ridiculous . I would take a youtube video of it if I wasnt too lazy too. Crazy stuff like it taking a whole 30 seconds to a minute for a unlock pattern to finally go through, Or how when I try and type a phone number its like 3 or 4 presses "behind" as I type ( and im not typing quickly) or when I try to scroll through my contact list it just gets stuck and then finally it "catches up" and stutters all the way down to the bottom because of how many swipes I attempted.....

...help :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jlengvarsky:
have you tried.....?

Have you tried to run an RUU of eith 1.6 or 2.1? if you runn an RUU it will clear out any lerking "software" issues and then just re-root and try that out then try a custom rom after that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Try Autokiller from the market. Once you install it, run it. Set the autokiller settings to something like Optimum or Strict (if that doesn't work for you, try Aggressive).

This will adjust the low memory killer settings to a more aggressive number. This, hopefully, will help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I agree. I use auto killer on aggressive with CM6 and it runs great forever :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] midnitecoupe:
My phone does the exact same thing!

I first really noticed it when I flashed the official sprint 2.1 update. I think it has something to do with the buildup of cache on the phone.

I have been running CM6 for a little over a month and have recently noticed it getting slightly hung up at times, but nothing compared to how it was with the official 2.1 update. Also, remember that CM6 does not have Sense, which can really slow down the phone.

I also I agree with you that it seemed like my phone did not do this on 1.6, but it has been quite sometime since I flashed 2.1.

Does anyone know what really causes this exponential slow down; to the point where the phone is barely useable?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smash58:
hm... I will try autokiller.....thanks for the advice

as for CM6..... I've tried not using sense UI but to me its my favorite part of my phone... for example the facebook/twitter/flickr integration with my contact list is invaluable.... is there a replacement for this?

is anyone else able to add anything else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Try Zen-Rom. It has all that you are looking for and is very fast and stable.

Sent from my Zen-Rom Hero!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
Auto killer is the way to go. I found Aggressive setting too much for my tastes; if I was on a webpage, then went to the home screen for something else and opened back up the browser, it would have to reload it because it was killed. I set it on optimum, and get no slow down, and can still truly multi task.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Or NFX-Hero. I'm not a Sense guy, but I've experimented with that ROM, and it was the fastest Sense 2.1 IMO.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
Just curious but does pandora have a cache file on your sdcard? I had an app that was reading and writting to a cache on my sdcard and it would slow my phone down a lot. When your phone slows try ditching some of your apps and see if maybe one could be responsible for it, if it is there are tons of options different apps that do the same thing.

So, I'm still a newb at this, but I got Cyanogen Mod 6 On my MyTouch 3G 1.2(the one with the headphone jack)I noticed it wouldn't let me open the Market(tell me if this is normal), so I decided to try to unroot. I already had my gold card, and I found a tutorial at theunlockr

well, I finished everything, but when the sappimg.zip file finished loading, it told me something about the Main Version is Older. I saw the solution, but I already have a goldcard? Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Help!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLLusive_:
Ok so update went well...so I think. Had to reinstall Swype due to it not functioning. My current issue is using Friendstream or attempting to add twitter by using the Accounts & Sync gives a login and invalid account error. I'm not typing anything wrong because I have it set to show password, and can login through web /sesmic app / twitter app with no issues. This is simply some type of functionality issue so I'm curious if anyone has suggestions before I do rollback to stock .

So question is again...anyone else having friendstream /Acct & Sync adding of twitter acct using Twitter by Htc sense. Been trying for over 5 hours to get it to work before posting this thread. Would hate to lose Froyo over this, but it happens right. Sigh, thanks for reading this an any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aesir Rising:
The Sense widgets that touch twitter aren't compatible with Twitter's OAuth based logon implemented Sept 1.

Friendstream and Twitter for HTC Sense are definitely broken, and I believe Peep is as well, though I've not used that one. Twitter repeatedly announced the upcoming change starting December '09). One user at HTC.com forums pasted a support reply from HTC indicating that HTC's stance is that Twitter must change their logon system, but I think that is a case of the tail wagging the dog (imo).

Either way, the workaround is to use a client or widget that has been updated to support the change. Most of them have been updated already. Except HTC's own.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanh:
HTC and Twitter have both said a fix is in the works and should be implemented soon. HTC made it sound like any minute now, while Twitter was a little more hesitant.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aesir Rising:
I hadn't read that. I'll look for it though. What I did read was:

From:

Is HTC Going To Fix HTC Peep for Windows Mobile & Android Anytime Soon?

I hope you're information is correct though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLLusive_:
Having some other random issues, so does anyone know of a guide for simply way to get back my phone back to stock 2.1? I see a few post saying I need to root and download these roms and sadly I don't feel comfortable with that. Just hearing people who took the update.zip route might be screwed for future OTA updates, and dealing with phone isues to verizon if you didn't get the actual OTA update.

Thanks again for the great responses and letting me know I'm not crazy and it's a known issue with new twitter security features for oauth.

I was following directions on rooting 2.2 on my mac and now am stuck in a boot loop and unable to get into recovery.

After applying PC36IMG.zip the phone rebooted as the instructions said it would. Then I ran the command ./adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/root-PC36IMG.zip

Which gave the following error.

My computer is no longer communicating with the phone and when I go into recovery I get a red triangle with an exclamation mark.

Can anyone help?
[XPERIA X10 General] wasylnch:
Hi all,

I thought i would do a quick review of my experience so far with the x10. Little background i used to own an iphone and after ios 4 decided to switch to an android device. I liked the x10, mainly because of the hardware specs.

I must admit that my first few weeks with the phone it was a love hate relationship, but now i am hooked and cant wait for 2.1.

Things i like:

-the camera is incredible on this phone. Images come out crisp and look fantastic

-the phone is very speedy with the 1ghz processor and even with multiple apps open, i find it rarely lags

-Android apps, coming from iphone, i find there are actually great apps that are free, not just ones that make farting noises

-the gps and navigation is flawless!

-not that big or clunky, even with a 4 inch screen

Things that can be improved:

-faster os updates (or just any)

-i find the screen is sometimes not that responsive

I must say that now i am glad i stuck it out with this phone and kept it. I understand that there may be other android phones that are better, but this phone is definitely in the top 5. Going forward its Android for life! Id like to here what everyone else thinks. Pros/cons of the device.

Love it

am current on stock rooted and de-branded.

I know froyo is not working and gingerbread is not even in beta.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
ugh, step 1) read stickies... this does not belong in development

step 2) read through the options you have (basically SRE, UTB, and SuperStock right now) and if you aren't going to take the time to read them, hold off on flashing until you know what you're doing
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsooley:
Um i did and nothing was well organized

sorry for asking maby i will return my samsung and get a iphone :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
go for it. things are very solidly organized (there's even a specific section just for asking questions).

there are explanations of what this forum section is for (the development/hacking of android on the captivate and how to use the developments). If you want some advice on what's the general preference, look at general (where I believe this conversation is already happening with a topic titled "UTB vs SRE") or Q&A.

You should also read about the potential ROMs you're looking at (SRE, UTB, SuperStock) in their respective threads. There is no "This is the best ROM that everyone likes so use that" thread because the options are still relatively young and you have to decide which tool you want to use the most.

If you find reading the threads for what the ROM or tools do too difficult, then maybe modifying this device isn't for you right now. There's nothing wrong with asking questions (specifically in the threads of the various tools/ROMs) just place them in the right place. Your question has nothing to do with development, and that's all I'm asking
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsooley:
ok thank you on a side note is there any rom that has everything 100% working
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebosxl:
Seriously the potential of anyone really answering your question on here is a joke. Don't get me wrong, but I've seen ppl post things 5 or six times (in Rom or kernel) threads and if they are lucky enough to get a answer they are told to search the forums and when they do they just run into other threads where people are told to guess what...search the forums. So its just a endless cycle until you just forget about it and move onto another ROM or kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
To the best of my knowledge, every tool out there has everything working 100%... AOSP isn't out yet (which already has said they're having trouble with bluetooth, camera, GPS, and data) and SuperStock has supposedly spotty wifi and data.

Your two major options right now are SRE and UTB, both of which are only modifications to the stock ROMs so everything is working. SRE provides more options and more customizations and UTB hasn't been updated in a while, though they're both valid options.

Personally, I'd suggest using SRE and going to that thread and reading up on your options
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Yes and no.

The ROM on your phone is the official release - all others are dev builds. This includes the captivate ROMs and i9000 ROMs. Newer captivate builds fix a few things, but you lose tethering and maybe a few other things.

The i9000 builds all require the Captivate kernel, so some things don't work right.

Again, you need to read the threads on the different ROMs and decide for yourself.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
Personally, I'm running jf6 (stock), rooted, metamorph minimalistic theme (tweaked a little to my personal liking), and adw (to customize even more). I've tried jm2, jm5 (both with samset on top), and jh2. Never tried froyo because I need my phone to work and it has too many known bugs.To me, a rooted, customized, stock ROM is the best because it give you less problems and sideloading through adb is easy. Also tried the lag fixes but other than the Quadrant scores, I couldn't tell too much of a real world difference so I took them off. I never had any GPS issues with jf6 so maybe I'm lucky.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
My phone has been charging awfully slow on the A/C Adapter. And it drain that battery on 3 hours. I'm still looking at what could've caused this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Very good thus far. First charge was a little slow which I chalked up to conditioning.

Check Google Talk make sure you are not signed in. Open it, menu then settings and remove auto sign in. Then menu and sign out.

Make sure 4g isn't on

Make sure gps isn't on

Make sure bluetooth isn't on

Same with wifi unless you are using them. They are easy enough to turn on and off as needed.

Screen brightness to auto

Check facebook, twitter, weather etc.. refresh settings.

Check mail settings if not using IMAP. POP3 searching every 5 or 15 minutes in low signal areas can be a huge drain.

I also removed all the bloat crapware that I didn't want on anymore. I also used a program called "Startup Manager" to prevent all the other crap from loading all the time on reboot and randomly throughout the day.

The epic gets a little less signal than my EVO did. Although the EVO had 3 or 4 radio upgrades to get it where it is now but for now it is a little less which will use a little more power until we get a few updates.

I'm getting excellent life thus far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
When I got my phone, surprisingly it was almost drained. So I plugged it for about 3 hours and it completely charged. Now I put it on the AC Adapter and it was around 20% and when I look at the time 4 hours had passed by and still wasn't 100%. I would say it took 4 hours and 20 minutes. And I looked at the Battery used and it said 73% Display. The rest were like 5 things with 3 or 5%.
