[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mam999999:
Thanks all people for thinking about FastBoot Mode.

Really, i was reading a lots of thread and finding for news last 10 days.

Nothing to comment. I think its needed a new bootloader and get it for flashing.

I am not sure, but its an idea.

Good Lucky

I dont know what it is, I have a task killer that kills running apps but it doesnt seem to work.

In 20 mins my battery drops 10% and i dont do much so i dont know what cases it.

Does anyone know a forum that I can get info from? OR any kernel that can help me with battery life?

If your going to be rude please dont comment because I WILL return the animosity!!! THANK YOU!

What's your battery usage showing as the process that drains the most battery.

It's probably background sync from e-mail or IM clients.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkey72:
Many are using the dopio kernel found in the dev section and setting the main to conservative, then creating one profile that sets the cpu at 245/245 when the screen is off. I have also seen/used a free app "juicedefender" that in theory looks helpful. Unfortunately, I suffer from obsessive ROM updating disorder and cant speak to how effective these methods are as my constant reflashing and rebooting destroy battery life.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemimarie:
Honestly, i didnt check.

I was told it may have been trhe rom , so i flashed a new one.

Now im going to monitor it and see if i have any changes.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemimarie:
Aha!

I suffer from the same problem!

I installed the app and im going to see if it helps.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PcFish:
Did you wipe battery stats and charge properly?

I use Advanced Task Killer Pro and have it kill apps on screen off.

Along with SetCPU to clock 245/245 on screen off.

A day, little use, I go down 8%. Regular use, about 20%.

My max is about 4 days. Using CM6 with dumfuq's 844 kernel.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casca:
Hello guys, I'm going nuts here, because i don't see an option or anything that explains this,neither anyone complaining with the same issue.

Here's the deal, I enable mobile 3g connection but after a while and after the screen going off(in standby), the connection also goes off.

I know this because when I turn the screen back on, I see the 3g connection symbol appearing near the cell signal bars, and that means it was off.

does this happen to anyone else? is it a known issue?

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casca:
so no one has this issue?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ik Desire:

Great thread mate. What settings are you using for ATK?
[XPERIA X10 General] Cebees:
None, mostly manual. ;)

Just to make sure that the battery life were based on cpu, not ram.

So i just killed most process before idle state. Vs. Open whatever i have till ram had run out, then left it in idle state.
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
Did anyone find a way to sync back facebook information to google contacts? If you get birthdays, email and phone numbers from facebook in your phone, it would be great to have that back in google contacts when using the desktop.

Even when properly linked, this kind of information is only in the phone and gets lost, when you loose a contact as facebook friend.

Did anyone find a way to sync it back and preserve this information?

I looked already from Pontius to Pilatus on the web and can't find anything. ;(
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
Looks like nobody found any way yet...hmmmmm. :-/
[Legend General] qzem:
Hm i think that you shoud sync phone contact with facebook, using Facebook aplication from market, and then try synching phone contact with google, I think this will work. Cause it works both ways, Google -> phone an Phone->google. Then if your contact list in the phne doest include contact photos from facebook, you should google for aplication Facebook Sync, or try to find it on market, this aplication will sync contacts photos, based on name comparisn. I hope this will help you.
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
Unfortunately that's what doesn't work at all. It should in theory.

But Facebook information is not synced back to Google Contacts this way. It's only in your phone. If you loose the facebook friend or they just deactivate their profile, you will loose the facebook link and the bits of info (email, phone numbers, birthdays) that may come with it.

It looks like the facebook info is not stored in the phone contact application (htc's 'people' app), but in a separate data base. It's really just a 'link' and nothing else. To be fair, it doesn't look like a pure htc sense problem, as stock android also doesn't do it.
[Legend General] ripnix:
the cool thing to do is to have an app that will copy the facebook info permanently to the contacts

check this tool out, maybe it helps AddressBookSync

or for windows try Fonebook

you could try also: memotoo which is webbased like soocial

or this greasemonkey script: facebook_phonebook_export.user.js
[Legend General] qzem:
Hey I've managed to sync facebook birthday data about my friends into google account with app called EboBirthday Sync, it is free on market, and download a plugin EboBirthday Contact Sync too.
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
Thanks for the tips! Now we just need something to sync back emails and phone numbers from facebook back to google contacts.
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
There is today an article in golem.de, a german online magazine, that google would love to connect a new service called Google Me with facebook contacts and data. They are asking for facebook to open up for that.

Lol, what a joke! We have that data already in our google phones. Just add the option to sync it back to Google Contacts for gosh's sake!

No need for another 'buzz' or 'wave'.

Edit: and here is the WSJ article, golem was referring to.
[Legend General] grandioso:
I synced my contacts yesterday but now I have duplicates of every contact. Plus it's a shame that pictures don't sync.
[Legend General] AviatorEkis:
Facebooks TOS does not allow for that, that's what they want Facebook to open up.
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
Any source for that info? I mean, the facebook info is in our phones already.

Is that not a violation of the TOS then also? I just want to have a backup of that data.

And if google can't do it, some modder should be able to, no?

Ah, that's frustrating! ;(
[Legend General] Badger2point0:
I'm using SyncMyPix to sync facebook photos with my contacts, seems to work okay, found on Market.
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
3 years gown the road - has anything changed? No!!

It's end of 2013 now, more than 3 years and the problem still persists.

Whenever I set up my phone or flash a new ROM, Facebook will mess up my phonebook with duplicate entries for the same person.

Did anyone find a way meanwhile, to extra emails and phone numbers from the Facebook contacts and sync them back into Google Contacts?

I can't believe this annoying problem hasn't bothered any capable programmers until now? ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] gokalper:
Anyone know what version kernel the cm6 rom uses on the aria?

If it is the same as the HTC Dream then i think its possible to use psfreedom to mod the ps3.
[HTC Aria Android Development] superchilpil:
Psfreedon is possible o. The aria but it would be from the legend

The aria and legend are almost the same

I've tried asking some devs here to join the port and they ignore me
[HTC Aria Android Development] gokalper:
Have you tried it on the CM6 Rom? All the phones listed say that they have it running on the cm6 final release rom. I'll try it out when i get home later tonight, it may work, but only if the kernel is not different on the aria.

It's too early right now to expect to have everyon join in on the port to an aria. I just hope they can prevent detection on PSN soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
I am wondering if there is a way to backup the entire contents of my HD2+Android build as a sort of "disc image", the way you would a pc. This way I can restore the device in the event of some critical failure as if nothing ever happened.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
2 steps:

1) Use SPB Backup for winmo. It's not technically imaging but the result is the same because of how winmo works. Just tap the file spb backup created and it will return to its previous state as if nothing ever happened. You don't even need to flash a winmo rom or do a hard reset.

2) For Android and sd card, just copy the contents of your sd card somewhere on your pc. And copy them back when needed.

Notes:

- I know this is not a single click imaging solution, but hd2 is not a pc and these two steps result in a restore exactly like a pc imaging solution provides.

- If you happen to have a state where you cannot boot winmo anymore (very very rare) so you can't tap spb backup file, then do a hard reset or a reflash before these two steps. But I doubt you will ever need to.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
Is 3g signal the same signal if I turned it off and just had 2g? Why I'm asking is I usually have 0-1 bar at home and I know poor signal strength causes battery drain. If I go 2g will I have more bars or the as I would in 3g?

I'm asking this because I have been told when I bought my last phone.. tp2 that it had to have a data plan or nothing will work. So my question is and have asked before but never have gotten a response is.. if I turn data off.. will I still get incoming sms? Im I better off getting juice defender then? Will this help? That is.. is sms workable with data off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
SMS is 1X. You don't need data for SMS texts. Texting is available on even the OLDEST non data phones. :)

Now, if you turn off data, you've pretty much eliminated most of what makes a "smart phone" smart.

Spare batteries are cheap, as are several different chargers. One for car, one for office, one for home, one for travel, etc.

Better you get into the habit of whenever you're near a power plug, to plug it in and let it charge. Once it becomes an ingrained habit, you'll not worry about battery life as much and you'll get much more enjoyment and use out of your phone. Besides, better get used to it. Processor speeds, power hungry hardware keeps advancing, battery tech doesn't.

:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
I have 3 batteries and a tp2 I use to charge the others while not in use so always have a full battery. I don't sync anything but my email. I can always turn the data back on for internet or anything I'm using for internet. Why I mentioned juicedefender... also I underclock and undervolt. Just looking for a longer battery life. I don't get more than 4 with moderate use.

Edit: one doesn't have to get use to it if there are ways for longer battery life. I'm sure you have all the accounts sync and checked, screen brightness set all the way up, 4g on, gps on, and overclocked and saying get use to it its a smart phone.

I don't have 4g and I do use the internet a lot and check my email. I get my email to sync when I chose to look at my email and don't need to check every so often wasting my battery. Not everyone uses all the stuff you can use the phone for or as much as someone else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
You're saying you only get 4 hours life?????

I keep wifi on, BT on, data on.

Between 8am and noon, I've browsed, made 2- 30 min phone calls, updated 3 apps from the market, played (shhh, don't tell my boss) 3 different games for at least 15 mins each, checked the local news. and I'm at 82% using the stock battery.

Also, have exchange push enabled, gmail pull at it's quickest interval, NOT overclocked, not running any task killers. No 4G here, so that's off and GPS and NETWORK location are also both off.

If you're down in 4 hours, you have a different issue. Better install a few monitoring programs to see what the heck is going on.

Granted the 1500mah battery is way too anemic for this phone, you should be able to do better than 4 hours.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
I agree you defiantly have something going on causing a battery drain. I used to get 6-8 hours with moderate use and have worked a lot of different things to finally get up to 14016 which i am happy with (i still dont see how anyone gest 30-50 unless there "moderate use" is not touching the phone except to have 1-2 calls or something on the break.

i recommend the paid version of system monitor. it lets you see your battery drain cpu usage and device usage. it also has a history option that will let you see which apps use the most power. The only other thing i can think of is you have an app preventing the phone from sleeping so that your setCPU profile and juicedefender are not doing anything most of the time.

as far as turning data off. You can receive SMS, you receive phone calls obviously, you can not download MMS or anything else requiring internet data. there is nothing wrong with turning it off when nothing use. (i personally use ultimate juice so that unless i have my screen on and unlocked or my phone is on the charger data is off.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
I leave my phone on Wifi all day at home (no signal either, 1-2 bars) and battery drain is minimal now and it's not constantly looking for a data signal. I go approximately 30+ hours on 1 charge
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
I have the system paid app already. My problem is I have the worst reception where I live. Usually –105 to -118 and -120 I heard is no reception at all. So its more tower pulling and increasing voltage to get a reception. So I'm trying to do what I can to save a little battery... :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
Rooted stock, deodexed. Netarchy kernel. Have old airave at home for voice, and at home, I use WIFI. GPS doesn't seem to have that big of a drain

I was slightly incorrect, I do have setcpu profiles. Thought I had them off, but they are on, but NOT overclocked. For battery >75, or on power, default max, 384 min, conservative. Screen off, 384/384. Brightness is NOT high as I work in a well lighted workspace. Sometimes I do turn off WIFI tho. It'll fight with bt on occasion. Same freq. :) But usually it stays on. I do use phoneweaver for profiles. And I also use TASKER to create specific app profiles. IE turn on gps, wait 15 secs, start gps capable app, turn off when app closes, etc.

I also did the battery calibration "trick" and every now and then I clear the battery data from recovery. Not sure if that helps/matters or not.

I don't use the camera app, nor do I use friendstream. GTALK (known battery killer) is set to NOT running/syncing.

Is it great battery life? no, I'd say average. About what I'd expect. I'm not expecting 24 hours with it while using it and not recharging. When I'm out and about, I'll plug it in any chance I get, and also have spare battery or 3 from my TP2. For a full charge, I have an external battery charger. I was using the TP2 as a charger but don't trust it's charging circuits either (yet another HTC product. lol)

I just checked and I'm at 49% assuming the "battery guage" is accurate. 8 hrs to 49%. Few texts, another call, some more news, using TIKL. Time to plug it in and let it charge. But it was a nice test to see how long my normal use would last.

If your signal is that low (to the OP), try to get an airave, esp one of the newer ones with 3G/EV capability! I am going to call and ask if they'll replace my older one with the newer one. :)

Hello peeps,

First of all, sorry if this question is in the wrong place. But, I've come across this peculiar problem on my SGS. Whenever I open my Gallery it ends unexpectedly. I have upgraded my firmware from JG5 (stock) to JM2 revcently and the problem appeared like yesterday.

I have tried clearing the cache, deleting the cooliris data from Android folder and restarted the phone, nothing solves the issue.

When I open the gallery I see folders, but the photos appear slowly and I get this message which says:

"Sorry!, The application Gallery (process.com.cooliris.media) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

and I am forced to Force Close it.

is there any fix to this and any info on how did it happen? (I recenlty installed Nemo Player and uninstalled it).

any input will be appreciated.

Same problem..

I also installed nemo player (still installed), didn't think that could be the problem.
