Agreed there is a problem with the radio on this phone... hopefully an update will fix it. I notice all the time that my phone will show zero or one bar when I am in a service area. I will still be able to make calls, but the reception is constantly changing and dropping bars.

I have also noticed that like 2min voice call will account for about 12% battery drain.

sent from my Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
Has to be something else because I have been on 30+ minute calls while driving home and barely used 1-2% of my battery, and I KNOW that the drive goes through an E only area or two
[Vibrant General] q426669:
I have also noticed that my 3G reception is really really crappy. My G1 has full 3g reception right now, while my vibrant has 0 to 1 bar.

So I turned off 3G, and made a couple calls. 9 min talk time, 41% battery use.
[Vibrant General] Stresa:
I just finished a 42 minute call and my battery indicator dropped 8%. At that rate I would easily exceed 6 hours of talk time.

I think that it's completely dependant on the signal strength in the spot where you are making the call. The phone has to scale up the radio's power if the signal is weak. If you are on the edge of coverage you may not be able to talk for 6 hours.

[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
The reception is another issue. Sitting in the same spot, over the past few minutes I have had full 3G reception, down to 0 bars 3G, down to one bar of E, and back up. The reception fluctuates even more when I'm on a call. If I have full 3G reception before the call, when I hang up, I may not even have E. This phone really has serious potential but between all these problems and the GPS issues as well, I'm very disappointed. Might just return my second vibrant and wait for another phone to be released that isn't riddled with issues
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
both signal reading and gps fluctuate and sometimes struggle indoors, but both have been rock solid outdoors for me. i was locking onto 3-4 satellites yesterday, and general reception for data/voice has been stellar, regardless of number of bars shown. no compass issues here either.

haven't really made a lot of voice calls, so i can't comment there. but my battery life has been satisfactory thus far.
[Vibrant General] Jayrod1980:
The percentage just shows what share that process is taking up. If you had full battery and barely use the phone and make a call, the voice process is going to show up as a huge percentage.

Or are you saying your battery gauge goes from 100% down to 59% after a short call?
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
I tried to clarify this is my first post. My battery was down to 4% in the screenshots I posted, so of the 96% of the battery that was used, 70% of that was used on voice calls. So essentially, an hour and a half of voice calls used just under 70% of my battery. Definitely wouldn't get close to the 6.5 hours of talk time that samsung claims
[Vibrant General] johnnyh64:
I don't think the battery indicator works quite like what you are thinking. I believe if you had a full charge and used 90 minutes of phone calls the battery use statistics would show nearly 100% of battery use (as it's the one process used to drain the battery) however your

battery percentage of charge

left would be more like 70%? (just guessing).

I'm not exactly sure on this but I think I'll try it out on my next charge. I have a few friends that can easily chat on and on for an hour and a half :)
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
I think you are misunderstanding. I charged my phone fully. Then used it for roughly 17 hours, over the course of which i made 1.5 hours of voice calls. after the 17 hours, the battery had been drained to 4% remaining. of the 96% that was used over the course of the day, 70% of that was used in the hour and a half of voice calls.
[Vibrant General] johnnyh64:
I DO very much understand what you are saying. What I am suggesting as a possible test it to fully charge the phone, then immediately talked until the phone died, I bet it would give at least 4 hours of talk time. Just a wild guess, I could be wrong.
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
I just did the math. If 1.5 hours of talk time drains roughly 70% of the battery, then it would only take 2.14 hours of continuous talk time to drain the battery completely.
[Vibrant General] johnnyh64:
Here are two screen shots that show readings that don't ready add up. Tell me what you think...

In essence my phone has been running on battery for three hours and nineteen minutes. The display shows it used 50 percent of that three plus hours yet the display was only on for one hour, not 1.5 hours like it should show by using your logic. See what I'm saying?

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I want to get to the bottom of this myself.
[Vibrant General] seojuhwan:
I have some battery issues myself.

It seems like some of u got a new vibrant as a replacement because of this issue? Is the problem solved by getting a new vibrant or can it be also done by just getting a new battery?

Thanks,
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
I could only see one screenshot. But the display doesn't have to be on for 1.5 hours to use 50% of the battery. I think you aren't getting my logic lol. My logic is that almost my entire battery was drained when I took my screenshots, and so in the battery use tab, when it says that voice calls constituted 70% of the battery drain, that means that one and a half hours of voice calls drained the battery 70%. if one and a half hours drains the battery 70%, then in under 3 hours the battery would be completely dead. We on the same page?
[Vibrant General] Jayrod1980:
I see what you are saying. For me the talk time on the phone is great. I had 40 something percent left on the phone and ended up getting an important call and talking for almost 3 hours and I still had 20 something percent left. I really think you had a weak signal there or maybe some conflict with voice and a app on your phone. I was getting bad battery life for a bit until I calibrated the battery by charging to full, then turning the phone off, letting the battery indicator there go to full, and then charging again with the phone on till it showed 100%. Ever since then the phone has been a champ.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
You are not alone. I too fce this same issue. I dont thinl exchanging will solve the problem. Plus i am already on my third Vibrant and have a $850 bill cause Tmo gives a hard time properly credoting back for exchanges...
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
What in the world are you talking about? The 50% is not to indicate for how lonf the display has been on. Rather it indicates how much battery was used by the display out of the amount od battery you have used so far. AFAIK the op's understanding of the battery usage ia perfectly fine
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
In the same boat here. Called yesterday, made me do a factory reset for their records, gonna call tomorrow for my third vibrant. I noticed my bill went up to 500 after my first replacement. They need to get on top of this. Been sorely disappointed ever since I decided to buy this phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Butzacooky:
There are ports from the legend or hero to the slide, so what about an evo/incredible 2.2 port? Is it possible (would hardware differences- screen size, processor, etc- cause problems)?

Just wondering cause I'm getting very impatient with T-Mobile updating to 2.2 and though the 2.2 roms we have are beautiful and fast, I'm addicted to htc sense.

I'm not trying to make myself sound like a jerk who gets everything a dev puts in (thank you devs!), but if I was a dev, I'd totally check this out :p
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueltherocker:
Both the Evo and the Desire are what's called HDPI (High Density Per Inch) devices. Our slides are MDPI (Medium/Moderate Density Per Inch) devices. Though HDPI takes more battery power, etc. it looks crisper. Since every single image in an HDPI is larger than in an MDPI rom, it would be incredibly tiresome and time consuming to port HDPI to MDPI. You would have to resize every single image in every single .apk in the ROM. Literally thousands and thousands of images that would have to be resized, it is simply not worth it. Until the Aria or Legend recieve Froyo, we're not getting a Froyo Sense ROM.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Butzacooky:
Ahh yes, I remember reading about HDPI somehwere.

Well thanks for the information dude hopefully they get it soon :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pglegend:
Is there a port for Nexus 1 roms to the MT3GS?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueltherocker:
The Nexus 1 is also HDPI, so no. However, the Nexus 1 comes with Vanilla Android, and we have some ROMs that are similar. I recommend you try out SlideMR1
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faceqt:
Hey everyone.

As the topic says, I'm wanting to know if you can put a password on your text messages. I had a quick google browse and I couldn't find anything. People like to pick up my phone and go through it, I don't mind that, but I don't like people reading my messages. I'm sure there are other people like this, I don't want a password on the phone, just the messages. If anyone knows how it'd be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Maybe give TXTcrypt from the marketplace a go.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiznom:
Handcent?

I don't use Handcent SMS anymore but I remember it has a password protect function. I see a thread over on droidforums complaining that the first few words of the texts still show in the status bar, though. Have you tried Handcent?

Edit: Just looked over on Cyrket and I see EStrongs Security Manager will password protect individual apps. Looks promising.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarmacsurfer:
Handcent only shows the words in the notification bar if set to do so, just untick the "privacy" box in settings and it will no longer be a problem.

Handcent > Settings > Notification settings > Notification settings > Privacy mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faceqt:
I'm using "App Protector Lite"

It does exactly what I want it to do! If anyone else is interested, you can password or pattern(like lockscreen) protect ANY application!

It's great

Hi,

Sorry for my English but I am French.

I have a Nexus One but the SIM card reader is broken.

My Nexus One is no longer guaranteed but I want to fix it.

I just need a new mainboard but I can not find one, the only website that seems to sell not answered any emails and do not give the price.

If anyone knows where to find I'd be grateful.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speoples20:
Easiest way for beginners is use the Scene settings. Other than that just play around with the settings and see what works best for you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
1. How do I get rid of clockwork mod recovery and go back to bone stock on my N1?

2. Also, I have root explorer but I have no Idea what I'm looking at. Has clockwork put any backups on the internal storage? If so how many and how much room is this taking up?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean_Dillon:
I was wondering the same thing and then I came upon this thread "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770792&page=2" basically if you have the Rom Manager app installed all you have to do is download a Stock Nexus One Rom Like FRF91 and restore with that. According to the original poster Melwan :-

"For future reference, if you want to restore your phone while having no issues accessing it, just get Rom Manager. Use it to download and install a stock unrooted Froyo rom (just make sure to select wipe data and do not select the rooting options).

Very easy to restore. The passimg method comes in very handy if you cannot even boot into the OS."

I followed the instructions above and went back from Cyanogen RC3 to Stock Nexus FRF91 in just a few minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
I have tried so many google reader apps. But could not find one thats really good

In iphone i have newsrack - Very good one and has nice preview of images with each icon.

Feedsquare is one with similar fns but sync is terrible

Any suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] LudoGris:
I like greader. It reminds me of the mobile site, and is very easy to navigate.
[Android Apps and Games] cherryapple:
Did you tried Newsrob?
[Android Apps and Games] DJGibbon:
I used to use Newsrob, but now I've switched to using the Reader mobile site - it's great. No good for you if you need offline reading of course, but it gets my vote :)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I think they all SUCK. I don't have a lot in my list, perhaps 12 sources, half of them news, other tech stuff. And syncing in every Greader app I've found takes forever, often either downloading some X number of total articles and skipping ALL the rest (wtf??) or downloading thousands of articles. Hello, X number of new articles?

So I just read in the default browser, it works great, but obviously it's not offline... Don't try it in Opera, it renders horribly.
[Android Apps and Games] Laban:
Using the Greader site, works ok.

But since I'm using Feedly (Firefox extension) on my laptop I'm really looking forward to their Android app that should be released shortly.
[Android Apps and Games] RebDovid:
NewsRob works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Newsrob does not give a thumbnail in the list view.

This i find very useful.

See the attached image to see what i mean
[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
Shortcut to the mobile page for me.
[Android Apps and Games] rmoney:
gReader is the best in my opinion, tried most everything.
[Android Apps and Games] melwan:
I don't like gReader, it's too damn iPhony. This is Android, no clue why the dev follows Apple's GUI guidelines here lol

Anyway, my vote goes to FeedR, slick and fast. Although if I haven't purchased it, then I would just use the mobile site.

Looking forward to an official app from Google.
[Android Apps and Games] randomelements:
Yup, another vote for the mobile site here.

The big problem for me with the Android apps is that they only do the feeds and not the shares from friends (e.g. shares from Google Buzz).
[Android Apps and Games] we123:
have u all try feedR? i think it's the best from all google reader apps i've tried
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
I am currently using the full verison of feedr

Again this also does not have the thumbnail version
[Android Apps and Games] mwxiao:
Maybe because Android doesn't have a good GUI guideline? Have you noticed how inconsistent Android apps are?
[Android Apps and Games] melwan:
There is a good ui guidline for Android. There is one also for icons, widgets, and what not. Check out the Android Dev site. It doesn't have to be very detailed and covers everything, but it sure preserves the Android style and atmosphere which is NOTHING like gReader.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohan herle:
I agree after using many readers

Did you guys try the mobile site optimized for the iPhone?

http://www.google.com/reader/i/

I find it displays the feeds fast and big enough to comfortably read without zooming in.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
eh? I just go to google reader directly in the Android browser, NOT Opera. No zooming, works fine...
[Android Apps and Games] :
I like blue rss, its in the market place and it does offline reading. Just my two cents. Anyone got a comparison to feedR?
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
Been playing with various RSS readers since getting my X10. Still have yet to find the perfect one for me, though NewsRob does a decent job as a GReader client.

The first developer to come up with a widget/app like the Genie widget (ie: News & Weather) but that uses my Google Reader feeds rather than Google's news aggregator gets my money.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupcakera:
Noob to theme'ing.

Do I have to make an update zip to theme or can I modify the framework apk and just push that to /system/app?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oddity:
You can just modify and push framework-res.apk to system/framework/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupcakera:
system/framework/

sorry i've been at this computer too long lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupcakera:
My replacement keeps giving me boot loops.

All I changed was: I duplicated the green lockslider and its components and renamed them to replace the other gray locksliders.

then I compressed the framework-res to a zip (using built in mac zip compression, mac user so i can't use winrar) and change zip to apk. adb push to system/framework/

any ideas what is going wrong?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigmack:
Have you tried installing it via a update.zip?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4gicM@:
Well this gets to be a bit confusing. I will say what i know hopefully others can help out too.

APKs are just zip containers that are signed, that means there is no compression. In your zip program look for a setting under compression labeled store. You would then have to sign that bad boy in order for your phone to work. You can not use the testsign certificate.

With that being said here is a guide...

Modifying?

PNG's -> open the apk up in the zip program, navigate to the res/whatever_folder_had_the_original and drop your files in.

9.PNGs and XML more complicated. You will have to decompile the apk [apktool] then modify them [look for articles on that, i cant get too indepth here]. Compile the apk. Drag the now compiled xml and 9.pngs to the respective folder open in your zip program.

Really the object is not to mess up the signing that comes with the apk. opening up the apk in a zip program, allows you to view, and replace files with not destroying the signature.

This method will not work with all applications. I have still not figured why some programs work with being signed with a testcert and others are not. I have a hunch that all userspace programs can be test signed and all system files need their own [htc?] key.

Also to note is that for some reason the phone when looking at framework-res, services.jar and others does not seem to mind the differences in CRC of the files stored in it, with what is in the manifest. I still can figure out the phones reasoning to allow this to happen on some but not all apps.

I hope this was not very confusing. I am working on video toturials of this same subject. Stay tuned!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupcakera:
That really helps a lot. Thanks.

I'll try that out tonight. Any recommendations for zip programs with a store feature for mac?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwjdd44:
I use BetterZip on my mac..........open the apk with Betterzip, then extract the res folder to your desktop (or wherever you want). Edit the .png files you want.......steer clear ( unless you know how) of editing the 9.png files. Delete the original res folder from the framework folder and insert the res folder you just edited. Then save the framework-res.apk and push back to where it belongs.

I like 7zip better, but this works okay, since there is no 7zip for a mac.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupcakera:
Betterzip worked perfectly! Thanks again.
