[XPERIA X10 General] iMohannad:
G'day everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue to what I'm having on my x10i.

I use to unplug my device from the charger around 7am (100% - fully charged) and the battery dies around 7pm. The main usage of my device is for making a couple of short phone calls, sending/receiving tens of SMSs, regularly checking my facebook, twitter and email account. Not a heavy usage I think, around 85% of the time is put on standby. I was really unsatisfied because my other device "HTC hero" stays for over two days. A few facts about my HTC Hero: 1) It is way much older and nearly damaged, 2) I am using it mainly for family/personal really long calls (30-45mins per call) and 3) Always connected to my car's built in phone system (Bluetooth is up all the time).

Since I bought my device 2 months ago, I was in a continues contact with SE the Middle East regarding battery issues. Honestly, they were very informative and respond quicker than any other company I dealt with before. They replied to me with really useful tips that extended my batter life to stay alive till the mid night (extra 4-5 hrs). Tips given were: Brightness automatic adjustment, Disabling auto Wifi detection... etc. Though, I was still not quite satisfied.

One day I decided to do my own experiments to observe the real problem with my x10 battery. This was 3 days ago. The first thing I started with, and apparently the last, was disabling the 3G service. I turned off the 3G service, and turned on the 2G (Edge) instead. Believe it or not, the first day my device's battery status was about ~85% when I got back home from work, ~70% at the mid night, ~55 percent when I woke up the next day, ~25% when I got back home, and dies around 8pm (from 17hrs to 37hrs). It was a straight shock to me. I already know that enabling 3G would shorten the battery life for both the short and long term, but honestly I wasn't expecting this much of difference in the daily usage. The other thing, I didn't notice any huge difference between before and now. Internet surfing is a bit slower, couldn't notice the difference. Twitter, Facebook and email worked just the same since I check them whenever I got notified. The last thing is I'm using mobile messenger now, i.e. eBuddy, since the battery is giving me longer time, and all my messenger accounts are on all the time.

Please, if you are having the same issue, let me know because I was assuming that there's something wrong on my device, either on the battery itself or the build software (build # R2BA024)

Regards
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
The improvements you're seeing are probably due to you living in an area with poor 3G reception. The poorer the signal is, the harder the phone has to work to maintain the connection, thus, eating battery faster.

Although, it shouldn't be THAT big of a battery loss... I'd look at what programs you have installed and running and see if any of them are secretly eating battery behind your back.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
You should try installing and running "Data on demand" It switches your data connection off when the phones screen is off...
[XPERIA X10 General] JamesBarnes:
Its well worth upgrading to 026, i saw a huge increase in battery life from that.
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Absolutely correct. At home I can leave my X10 for days without it dying with 3G enabled. At work there are dead zones that'll suck a phone dry within an 8 hour shift though. It's almost always a coverage issue.

For any battery issue I suggest a factory reset and THEN make the appropriate adjustments. Sounds useless but sometimes you can emulate all the same settings and things still don't happen as anticipated.

Use a 3G toggle widget for long periods where you KNOW it won't be necessary. Root your X10 and add SetCPU to that bad boy. Screw using task killers because the Android OS is *nix based and handles memory just fine - I only kill tasks before putting my phone away when I know I won't use it for an hour or more. Other than that, don't use task killers, battery monitors or anything that'll keep your phone from sleeping. Use Spare Parts if you need help identifying an annoying program too.
[XPERIA X10 General] iMohannad:
Thanks all for the useful comments.

Now, I feel more confident that I can keep the battery alive for even more than 2 days. Thanks for your information and knowledge : )

[Q]: Is there any application that shows (in bars or digits) the strength of 3G signal?

Hi all

Is it possible to change the home screen grid of the Galaxy S to more than 4x4 items? with changing the DPI setting, everything is smaller but the grid stays the same! All widgets look very stupid! Small OK, but really far away from one another! Can this be changed somewhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awia:
change the launcher...

with the launcherpro (or ADWlauncher?) you can choose a 5x5 grid, for example
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MrBusiness:
Or try out "Mulitcon Widget" free in the market...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OrionBG:
I'm using the LancherPro but I didn't find such an option!

[SAMSUNG OSRC COMMENTS DELIVERY NOTIFICATION]

Dear Victor,

We''re pleased to provide you the updated source code of SGH-I897.

You can download the source code from the site below:

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

You may find the source code

here: SGH-I897_OpenSource.tar.gz
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
Ugh, it's so annoying that they don't provide dates on their download page, or any information anywhere about which git commit in mainline they branched from... There are clearly large differences between their previous source release and mainline 2.6.29, an we still don't know if all of them are due to Samsung.
[Captivate Android Development] TMC_Sherpa:
Argh! Well that will teach me to spend the weekend running diffs on the I900 T959 and Captivate source. *sigh* well I'll add it to the list.
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Now you can spend all week downloading! 25 KBps?! :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] anudewalrus:
He is saying he will have to start over...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
This might be a huge pain in the ass, but it's also pretty good news... we might be able to actually compile a kernel from our own damn source now lol
[Captivate Android Development] jasonxh:
Interesting. From a brief look, there's no change in platform. Kernel changes are around the inclusion of audio A1026 (which we managed to copy from vibrant source), some subtle config changes, and quite a few churns in the dpram module which is the "Flash Translation Layer for Flex-OneNAND and OneNAND" according to file header. The last part looks promising, cause it seems like Samsung is targeting the IO issues.
[Captivate Android Development] jasonxh:
Well maybe not so exciting... Seems like we are just getting the I9000 version of it...:(

See TMC_Sherpa's thread "Source code differences I897 T959".

- * @mainpage Flex Sector Remapper : RFS_1.3.1_b060-LinuStoreIII_1.1.0_b022-FSR_1.1.1_b112_RC

+ * @mainpage Flex Sector Remapper : LinuStoreIII_1.2.0_b032-FSR_1.2.1p1_b129_RTM
[Captivate Android Development] TMC_Sherpa:
You are correct, I just finished diffing the new sources with the old ones. The new I897 fsr folder is now the same as the I9000 There are a bunch of new files (well new for I897) but the only new new ones are in the drivers/input/keyboard folder. The .config file has changed along with auto.conf and autoconf.h but the last two are generated so don't count. They also updated the Vibrant source. It looks like it has the files from the 3d_module_GPL.tar.gz file includes with the kernel.tar. The stuff is still in their own directories but I haven't finished diffing the T959 stuff yet.

I'll finish up some stuff and get back to my thread.

Sherpa
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Any chance they're trying to make the sources *more* alike to make their future updates a little more streamlined? Such as ya know, developing ONE firmware update that fits all the variants without so many minuscule differences to botch the process up?
[Captivate Android Development] TMC_Sherpa:
The goal of all the diffs was to make a unified source that you could just add a I897 flag to or whatever and get it to build. There are new directories in the Vibrant source , it doesn't have the new stuff in drivers/input/keyboard and they made some changes in the /include/config directories. My scripts are still running diffing the old versions vs the new ones so I should know more *soon* Right now I can't tell if they are making things better or worse.

Sherpa

PS the I9000 script just finished, its the same version that was there before, Sammy needs to put versions or dates or something on their site.

PPS they got our version of linux-2.6.29/arch/arm/plat-s5pc11x/max8998_consumer.c with the extra whitespace in it

Read here: http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list and check the table...
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
interesting idea. would make sense for all GSM devices but probably not the CDMA devices (especially since one is the "pro" variant with a keyboard and because of the different hardware radios). also makes sense because the CSC's and modems are independent of the actual firmware

edit: I swear to god, one day I'll write a post that I don't need to edit 4 times because I don't write my thoughts out properly
[Captivate Android Development] TMC_Sherpa:
Baby steps, try to do three or fewer :)

PS I just finished with all the .config differences between the Captivate and the Vibrant and will get it in my thread right after I click submit on this one.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I hear ya... I do the same thing, as I'm writing it sounds perfect in my head, then I post... then proofread and have to correct a dozen incidents of writing "firmware" instead of "kernel" or some such crap, YOU ALL SHOULD READ MY MIND. ;)

I don't like the newest captivate's calendar. It is not very functional. It doesn't let me set up recurring dates like my pure would. Is there any way I can totally replace it? If so what would be a good replacement? Im rooted, if that help. Please Help!!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
What do you mean? I can set up repeating events on my calendar.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patillo5:
I said that I couldn't do it. You may be more advance or you may not need it to repeat every 16 to 17 days. But my question was and still is: Can the calendar be replaced (with a easier one) ? If so what would be a good replacement? Im just saying I don't like it. Not that everyone else should not like it. I need help Moding my phone to my liking. Again please Help if you can.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Simmah down now. I was just trying to help. As far as I know, you can't really REPLACE the calendar, just install one you like and don't use the stock one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patillo5:
Thank you. Im in no way upset. I just wanted you and all others tp know my intent. I guess the pure's calendar spoiled me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
For the type of customization you need, it may be easier to use the google calendar web interface. I think you can customize repeating events much more flexibly there.

There are reports, browsing at the last froyo versions which they have included flash 10.1, is very slow.

Can we cancel flash 10.1from the official browser?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] m06nj4:
browser->menu->more->setting->Enable Plug-ins->Off or On demand
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celeronix:
Yeah, it's awful to browse with this Flash enabled.

In the end JM7 works better for me instead of this JPC. I don't miss the Flash plug-in :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaycee1981:
Zoom is awful as well:-( I had to change to Dolphin browser
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gunnarhafdal:
After I upgraded to JPC the phone would slow down almost to a halt regularly. Then I thought of turning off Flash and the phone as a whole is a lot more snappier. I think I went to sites with Flash content on them and Flash was just eating up memory (the browser would sometimes be using 50mb of RAM) so turning it off helped a lot. Plus, I'm coming from 2 years of using an iPhone so I don't miss Flash at all.

tl;dr: Turn of Flash, it makes your phone run better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nanoo-eg:
So Steve Jobs was right :) about flash.

This is the difference between iPhone os and android.

If the apple developers are sure, something will make problems at the Proper functioning of the device, they prefer to cancel it.

If I need a site with flash, I have the skyfire browser. I want the official one to be fast like before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DazzXP:
I set it to on demand as i do view some flash intesive sites but have the option to use it or not atleast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Well, the fact that flash videos can use a lot of memory and does not always work perfectly on a phone doesn't make steve jobs right.

I rather have the option to run it or disable it as I wish instead of not being able to run it at all...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nandihno:
sure the browser will go slow..but why not have flash on demand???

in that way i choose to view flash video when i want...

:P a far better option then ios's policy of NO YOU CANT HAVE THAT.

So do ur self a favour instead of thinking that jobs was right :P

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capitan2008:
Hello!

I have a weird error on my diamond 2 - I dropped it on the floor, so the touch screen got broke. I bought a new original one and replaced it as myself, which wasn't that difficult. The strange thing is that now when I move my finger up and down on touch screen the pointer moves side to side, and when i move finger from side to side the pointer goes up and down...? :D It's just like touch screen was rotated 90 degrees. Have tried to do a factory reset via a guide I found but it is still the same. Is it supposed to recalibrate the phone somehow?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JordyDG:
Could this be a fysical connection error?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capitan2008:
I tried to put cable in the other way but it was to short, and I can't figure out how to put it another than it is now. If i try to force it around 180 degrees it will be ripped off and break.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadettilac89:

Try to align the screen
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capitan2008:
Hm, I'll check it out. It's possible connector ended up wrong, I was most happy that I got in place

How do I align the screen?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Something72:
Start Menu / Settings / System / Screen /

Align Screen
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capitan2008:
I tried to go maneuver via the menu but it was impossible. :D But I didn't give up and Google instead and found this - "You need to simultaneously hold down Volume Up and Volume Down on the side of the device, and while holding them both down, just tap the screen and it will go straight to the alignment screen."

This works and my screen is now aligned, but still I got it's 90 degree ccw rotated.

I forgot to mention that i have replaced digitizer two times - one before this one, reason was i thought first one was broken/faulty

Best view in Safari:

I tried to make an app on my own, but i am not able to create a list like there.

I never learned vb.net or c++ till now, but im good in other languages so i triet it myself.

It would be nice if there is any coder who would help me with this,

i think it would be a nice app for german users because like a htc hd2 user as me, some of us don't have TMC :(

Otherwise i would rewrite this page so i can use it in Opera (iverkehr.de doesn't work very well on opera)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rincewindwiz:
Hi

The Problem:

1. I need to send HTC HD2 back for repair because the SD card reader does not work (no storage card visible in File Manager or in explorer on the PC via USB link)

2. I have played around with some non-standard ROMS and , as a result, have SPL-2.08 HSPL 8G XE on the device together with the standard ROM 1.72.110.4

3. I read in various places that having HSPL will invalidate the warranty

4. I understand I can remove HSPL by flashing from the micro SD card but of course I cant do that as the micro SD card is bust.

5. I've also read somewhere that I cant downgrade SPL 2.08 - which seems odd.

So how can I restore the device to the stock ROM 1.72.110.4 (which is currently running) and the equivalent SPL version?

Can I flash from the PC via USB cable and if so, how do I do this?

How else can I get rid of HSPL?

run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000.

that will match your 1.72 rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scabes24:
And for the SD reader problem, have you tried inserting the card directly to your PC? maybe it just needs to be repaired..?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rincewindwiz:
Yes, thought of that. Both SDHC cards (4G and 16G) work in the PC; neither is visible in the HTC. It seems pretty certain that the problem is with the HTC

OK SO I run HSPL2 and select as described and, indeed get SPL1.66

But the (switch on Vol Dn) screen says

which does not look much like the original situation to me - there is still mention of HSPL which I thought invalidated the warranty?
