[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qutlacha:
Well, greetings to all.

I just wanted to share my experience regarding the battery issue.

As I purchased the phone some 12 days ago, my experience is short, but somewhat effective.

First couple of days the battery lasted for app. 24h, with lots of usage (wi-fi surfing, lots of applications installation, calls, games, music, etc.). Then, I installed some "battery-indicator-related app", fully charged battery and used the phone for 15 minutes or so and went to sleep. In the morning my battery was at 80% !(it was on stand-by the whole night), and till 2pm it was at 15%, without using the phone at all.

Battery usage stated 64% "cell standby". I thought - what the .... ?

Than I did the next thing.

Uninstalled that crappy app, installed another one (similar, but other manufacturer),turned off the phone, fully charged it, turned it on, checked that wi-fi and BT are off, turned off 3G and syncs and updates, set brightness to lowest, installed black wallpaper, used task killer to kill all unwanted apps, and decided to see for how long will battery last with that settings and very little usage (couple of calls, sms and some sudoku playing).

The result:

4 days, 18 hours - since unplugged. Battery at 39%.

@ some of your replies

overflashing - ive only flashed once.

be lucky it only drops 6% when totally idle - the whole point in writing this thread was because ive previous lost 0%! when idle for hours and hours...

I have background data off (which i dont want to have to do) i have an APN switch which i use sometimes, but tbh its tedious and i shouldnt have to do this.

as far as im concerned, when i idle the phone, it shouldnt do ANYTHING
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarjockey:
Is there a way to uncap the fps on the latest fresh rom. So far fresh is my favorite rom but the one thing that I'm missing about being on cm6 is the fps fix. So is there a fix?

I'm willing to switch the kernel if I have to as long as it's not going to cause any problems or anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrusheen:
Switch Kernal

Same here, once I switched to this kernal I couldn't live without my extra fps. I'm now using netarchy's kernal and it works fine without a problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarjockey:
Cool I was kinda wondering what kernal would work with this. I see alot of the CM6 guys using snap but I didn't know if that would work with mine.

How is netarchy with battery life compared to 3.2 kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarjockey:
I flashed this onto my phone but my evo now is at 31.7fps using neocore on fresh 3.2. When I was on Cm6 I was getting around 47 so why is it that I've only uncapped my fps by 1 point?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolsticeZero:
It's not that it uncapped it by only one point, it's just that CM6 is quite a bit faster since it doesn't have Sense and the rest of the HTC stuff running in the background. Run an fps2d test and you should be getting around 55.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psywar28:
Don't quote me on this, but since the FPS fix is done in the Kernel flipz is not going to be doing this. His ROM's use the Stock Kernels it kind of sounds like he is not going to mess with them.

I believe I seen him say this or deny this on his personal webpage forums.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
you are right flipz isnt currently doing this fix int he kernel since it is pretty much the stock kernel. You have 2 options KingxKernel and NetArchy kernel. I cant tll you for sure how battery life compares to 3.2 fresh but I have read both work with it. Both will give you unlocked FPS.

Snap kernel will not work with Fresh as Snap is for CM only currently.

all 3 to my knowledge (may have changed over the last fw days) are based on the foryo build not the new OTA that fresh is using. I would expect to see new updates coming in the near future to change this up (whenever HTC releases or source is leaked at least)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
You start mixing and matching and you'll possibly run into issues.

3.2 has an UNRELEASED kernel from HTC.

Netarchy and the others with the FPS fix are using an OLDER kernel.

Do you want the new, or the old with the FPS fix?

As stated in all the other threads several times... When this UNRELEASED update from HTC goes PUBLIC and when the source code is available, then you will get FPS fix in it.

If you choose to use a rom with an unreleased kernel then put on an old kernel and run into issues, hope you keep your backups up to date. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolsticeZero:
I'm actually using Netarchy's newest CFS kernel with Fresh 3.2 and I haven't had a single problem. Battery life was the same as before, but I'm getting 55fps with a stdev of 2.3 in fps2d.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
That's why I said possibly. Nobody has looked into the source code which doesn't seem to be available yet to really know all of what's changed. You may NOT run into issues, or you may hit just the right combination to cause issues. Nobody knows yet.

I, personally, need my phone on a day to day basis for business purposes and only "play" with it after hours. I take the slower, wait and see approach to see what's stable and fully working before I change things around.

I just hope this unreleased patch doesn't turn into the accidental PRE release of 2.2 where folks were in such a rush to have the latest that they ended up with a stale version and had to update again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Have you guys checked the Fresh Updater, in it he has kernel choices... I was running kingz BFS#8 and it was lovely....you lose nothing and gain everything
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
Tired that 2 days ago.. #8 I had such bad fps. Encore of 18 and quadrant I have never seen such low numbers.. but not every phone is the same..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckombo:
I'm using kingz #8 as well with Fresh 3.2 and have FPS of 54-55 and quadrant scores of around 1600 (overclocked to 1.15)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] devabhishek:
hi guys ... yes i just found a way how you can have a fixed wallpaper as a background

there is a live wallpaper by the name of droid x live paper or something it has an droid eye .. now here when u apply that in the settings u have to select the desired background.. lightning type- none, choose eye - none.. show particles- un tick this... and you are good to go.. now you have a wallpaper that wont move when you move the screens ... and if you know how to edit images.. make an image with the size 960 x 800.. but it will only show the first half ie 480x800 so keep ur image on the first half of the image..... i have attached a few wallpapers which i created may be you can understand what i m saying by looking at it... and i have also attached the apk file of the live wallpaper( this apk is not the full version, u can buy it from the market if u like it)

(the whole credit goes to the maker of this live wallpaper)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] devabhishek:
does anyone has a better idea than this to have a fixed wallpaper like in other mobile phones ?????
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Tried this and got it to work half way, I made a 960x800 canvas and just placed a 480x800 on the left portion upon applying it using the livewallpaper the image quality is degraded seems like the phone is doing something to it.

I ended up making a 960x800 canvas and a blank space of 249 pixels to keep my image centered.

I cant believe why it such a trivial thing to do on andriod/touchwiz... also why hasnt any dev made an effort for a non sliding and really good scaling/cropping wallpaper app ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] stickfinger:
I think TW Launcher is your problem. I'm using LauncherPro and its just a tick box to stop the wallpaper moving :)

I know some others also choose to use ADW Launcher instead of TW and that probably also has that tick box. Maybe that's why the devs haven't bothered?

I would suggest trying one of the above alternative home screen launchers, they add lots more options and can be used for free. If you don't like either just remove them and return to TW :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sorna:
I think you can have a non moving wallpaper using multi picture wallpaper app (please google for the app, I am unable to paste links) by setting the same picture for all screens and setting an appropriate transition method.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
Yes...this live wallpaper is your friend... :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
This one is golden its very very close to perfect!!! All it needs is just a better cropping quality on some pictures!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] erunamor:
This one is very good, but lacks of quality when doing the downsize:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-galmoori-wallpapereditor-FzCp.aspx

And this one is usable, but unlike the below one you have to provide your own jpg at the correct size (480x800) instead of choose and crop your image from your gallery. Some error when rotating the screen though:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-promevo-wallpaper-mywallpaper-BixF.aspx

In my opinion, the first solution will be the best IF the author update the application in order to fix the downsize quality.

Or you can make your own live wallpaper. There are scripts but i think they are difficult for the low user. We just want to choose a picture, crop it and use it, don't we? ;)

Greetings
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] devabhishek:
yup... this is the best app till date.. if you want a fixed wallpaper...

you can aswell have 7 different wallpapers for all the 7 screens..........
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
Just get a bunch of 800x480 wallpapers and no more worries. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Im thinking of looking for the best resize batch for my wallpapers, I currently have about 2,400 in rotation and I need to batch resize em xD
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] asim0:
I use Sense on a Desire Z (HTC G2) and i bought an app called WallpaperPlus, which allows to select single or multiple pictures with the size of the screen.

The problem is the quality loss is important when cropping images.

After i apply a single fixed wallpaper with this app (bad quality when from a highres pic), then i use the default wallpaper picked (from Sense) and Tada! the crop zone is no more 960*800 (horizontal) but 480*800 (vertical) with a lot better quality (quite perfect!)

The only problem is when i reboot, i have to redo this because somehow the wallpaper goes back to 960*600, an zooms in the center of the 480*800 walpaper previously set.

Just to say that it must not be difficult to change the crop zone form factor, since this app does it somehow. When i have spare time i will look further into this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h0rm1:
Hi,

I was wondering if you have any info about the BT 3.0 not working properly. When i bought the phone (stock JF5), i tested the bt transfer with a s8500 wave and it was transmitting at bt 2.0 levels. i have jpc now and tested the bt transfer with a friend that has sgs/jm1 and again the bt transfer speeds were very low, no way near the bt3.0 advertised transfer speed.

Do you know if this is a common sw/hw issue or is it happening only to my unit?

Thanks in advance,

Adrian.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
BT 3.0 doesn't automatically means you get faster transfer rate

BT 2.0 protocol specs for data transfer is about 2Mbit, meanwhile the 3.0 protocol is not finalized yet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth

if you see anything faster than 3Mbit, then it's already using the BT3.0 protocols

Hey guys,

Can somebody guide me to the app that does this:

Have a "task manager" on the top right of the taskbar/screen

Tap to minimise and hold to exit application

Be able to also close or switch to applications with the button on the top right of the screen on the home screen

I cannot find this application, though I know I downloaded it from here, last time. Can somebody help me with this? Thanks.

Hello guys.

Does anyone know if it is possible to customize the values on the light sensor brightness leveler in the Sense UI rom, like it has been done on the open desire rom? something like this http://twitpic.com/2k4qjz

Like a lot of people, I've also found annoying the fact of when in a room with lots of light, the brightness is with excessive values...

tks

[General Questions and Answers] yodelerjn:
Since I rooted my phone using Unrevoked, applied UnrevokedForever, and updated my phone with an RUU

I cannot get my wifi connections to work. They connect to the router just fine, require my encryption passwords, obtain an IP address but if I connect to them it is as if I am getting no data whatsoever. If I try to connect to the marketplace, it gives me a network error.

As soon as I disable wifi, my data connections work, so my 3G connection is fine. I can turn on wifi tethering and it works fine too. I followed the directions from the following thread (I cannot paste a url without permission):

"OTA 2.2 Update With Root Made Easy"

What would cause this to happen? Does anyone have any idea of how to try and fix it? I've searched and searched, and I cannot find the answer. I admit that I'm a noob, but I have been reading a lot on these forums, and I'm wondering if it had to do with the radio flash, which scares the hell out of me.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kgpp2293:
Iv recently noticed while i was using my raph100 with android on it everytime i press one of the hard keys on the front of the phone excluding the top button, the qwerty keyboard would light up while the phone is closed. and i would have to not touch the phone for 10-20 seconds and wait for it to turn off or slide nd close the phone to turn the lights off. not sure if this is a known issue or not but it really does kill the battery and may be the cause for peoples phones getting warm?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
Oh yeah! It does the same on mine too... I don't know if it's been noticed before. It only requires a light touch for the capacitive buttons to set the keyboard LEDs off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
interesting, i don't get the same results on my raph800. i can play with the capacitive buttons all day without the kb light coming on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
Even when it's closed?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
as far as i can tell. open or closed.

actually i don't get lights coming on on the kb until i actually hit a key on the kb.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kgpp2293:
must be a raph100 thing then? well it surely has a massive impact on the battery so i hope one of the developers notice this issue and try fix it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jfcc58:
Same here! Raphael100 and keyboardlight is always on when using the phone (even if slider is closed).

A fix would be very much appreciated!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Honestly the keyboard being lit is probably the LEAST concern for draining the battery. Things like processes not letting the system sleep, and overall poor/mishandled power management within the OS are going to cause A LOT more drain than a light on in the keyboard...

Hey, my new phone boots Android but they keyboard light doesn't work at all. Definitely doesn't have much to do with battery life.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] kgpp2293:
well since ur lights dont work how do u know if its affecting ur battery? i sure know it affects mine. cause i get more battery life when i actualy make sure the lights are off
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
I agree with argh in saying the led for the kb uses very little battery. The raph100 is getting better battery currently with the kb light on than our raph800 with the light off.

Once power management and the system is working better you'll see better battery life, if it ever happens.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
Everything counts for better battery life. I'll let phh know about this and hopefully something can be done :)

[G1 Android Development] michelone123:
i'm a newbie and i'd like to work on a custom cyanogen 6 for my G1.

the problem i'd like to expose you is about a barebone system:

following the wiki

- i remove all unecessaries apps from /system/apps

- re-write signature of the CM

- flash it on my dev

what should i do if i'd like to modify an .apk??

for example:

if in my barebone CM i remove LatinIME.apk and LatinImeTutorial.apk, whenever i reboot my device an error popup display 'till i go to /setting/Lang&Keyboard/ and i disable Android Keyboard.

the system popup error is " Error loading com.android.inputmethod.latin "

how can i avoid system check for com.android.inputmethod.latin at startup?

is it possible to modify setting.apk and simply delete the related menu voice??

if yes how can i do?

if no what should i do to solve this problem?

My FaceBook contacts keep giving me an error when trying to sync them? Everything else Twitter Myspace Google Gmail etc etc sync just fine. is anyone else having this issue? Can someone please force a sync and see for me its driving me insane I rely on that for my contacts
[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
I have found that you must sync through contacts instead of settings for it to actually connect and sync/link them. Go to contacts ->Menu ->Accounts ->Add Account. Then add an "Integrated Contact Account" at the top. Once it's added, click on Menu-> Get Friends.
[Epic 4G General] richabi:
This technique does not work. I have tried every possible way multiple times. Ticking facebook to "get friends" does not even do anything. Doing research about this problem with other phones seems to point toward FB servers as the problem. Pretty much FB = epic fail. I have only gotten my FB contacts to sync twice but it never updated - one was right when I got the phone but did not like the epic syncing 390430.39 contacts to my gmail (since there is no option to choose what to sync or even what groups to export!!! annoying i decided to do a hard reset). I had my fb contacts sync one more on my 3rd hard reset but i had to do yet another HR to clear a notification error due to conflicting apps. Now I am about to do my 5th. FML!

I wish FB would actually announce their issues

my voice search has stopped working other than opening browser to google. no calls, no music search, no nothing. apparently you have to sync ur contacts with google for the voice search to analyze your contacts to find the one to call. You can not have them stored to your phone group. switched all my contacts over to my google group and nothing happened. I was hoping maybe it would and that would also be why fb would not sync. guess not.
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
Mine synced today after turning on 4g for awhile.
[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
It doesn't sound like a FB issue as mine synced immediately after doing what I outlined and has stayed since.
[Epic 4G General] richabi:
think it was coincidence

I think you trying that technique and getting it to work was just timing. I just checked to see if I can add contacts from my FB and it is the first it let me in a week trying every day. Has to be server side. People from other carriers and phones were reporting the same issue...
[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
People reported success with this technique on other forums too, where going through the actual settings didn't work for them. IDK, it's whatever... :D
[Epic 4G General] djsplitimage:
I'm sort of having a similar problem, except with MySpace, I haven't been able to log in since I got the phone. Any suggestions? I've tried it on both wifi & 3g (no 4g where I live) have flashed different roms and gotten the same result. Any ideas?
