[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Exostenza:
After 2 or 3 reboots it just started working again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Chad_Petree:
Cyanmod has the same bug as got 22.1 where the battery drained like crazyyyyy and u had to reboot to make it stop? my battery is dying in 4-5 hours :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
The Bug will ALWAYS be there until the new STABLE KERNEL is released. It has only been minimised :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukas77:
I've got the same, it started from previous update and problem still exist in latest update. Anyone have idea how to solve it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jet.fire:
Did you and the other guy with this problem apply the gingerbread theme? I noticed that the theme makes the LED green only, and always on (doesn't blink)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] drake19:
And with this version it has probl with the battery?????
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
duno if it is fixed, but in erlier releases the percentage mod had a bad battery drain bug.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Exostenza:
If you reboot after you have it plugged into usb whether it is charging or for a file transfer then you should not have this problem. I believe it is a problem with the phone not going to sleep after having the usb plugged in. It is a kernal problem and the people that can fix it are those at motorola.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zencooler:
Disagree,

Last two updates 12.08b and 12.12 are draining battery as quick as the clear GOT 2.1.1! The previous versions of CM were really great in terms of battery life. Now the issue is back again. Don't know why...

Of course I have made wipes before update (also straight after). I am using smartass governor (no SetCPU and other CPU software).

Also I am restarting phone after it's charged, but it's still draining battery so fast.

Last night battery level dropped from 100 to 60% (in 9 hours).

In previous CM releases it has been keeped to 90% at the same time.

Any ideas what happend in last CM version with this issue?

Any help will be appreciated. Regards!

EDIT: It seems it was because the Gingerbread theme applied on top of CM. With clear CM it's OK!

So, I was messing around in the nightly build servers for Chromium to download the latest nightly for my Windows PC when I noticed this directory:

/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-arm

I'm assuming that's Chrome for the Arm processor. My only question is, does anyone think that that would run on an Android phone, or is it purely for Arm based tablets?
[EVO 4G General] abiezer:
Android 2.2 uses Chrome as its browser, or rather the chromium engine.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
maybe just tablets, word google is going to drop one on black friday
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Sucks though, cause Chrome with sync would be nice on the EVO, or at least adding sync to the browser.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Anyone know why this game is not showing in the market?

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.pikpok.kikfg#

I understand that Android supposedly checks to see if an app will work, or is supported, and if it's not it should not show up in the market.... but this app should play just fine.

Is there a way to open up the Market? I remember there used to be a way, but I can't locate it!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LatinSilEighty:
Neither does fruit ninja :( but i got it on the black market lol :eek: hopefully whenever they decide to update it it will show up on the Android Market

http://www.openfeint.com/android/1350-Fruit-Ninja
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:
That's weird. I have fruit ninja in the market.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
I see it on the market too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LatinSilEighty:
hhhmmm thats weird wtf is wrong with my phone then? :confused:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] AndyCr15:
I have Fruit Ninja but don't see Flick Kick Football :( no fair. Any ideas?

I'm on JM8 Galaxy S in the UK.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
I also see fruit ninja, but not flick kick.

What's the deal?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SamVib:
Are you guys on the leaked update?

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using the xda app
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d_bot:
im not on the leaked, im running vibrant9, and i cant see it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LatinSilEighty:
I am on it

Update: just re-searched for it and it showed up, they just pushed out an update so maybe that had something to do with it? I am talking about fruit ninja BTW
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] AndyCr15:
I thought this was a Flick Kick thread though... go make your own Fruit Ninja thread :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] g1g:
So does any one know where to get flick kick at?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Bump, I too would like to get this game... still do not understand why it does not show in the market.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Styles91:
Flick Kick Link

here it is
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
I didnt follow the link just b/c FK is a paid app... thanks for offering the help though man!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
It shows for me, try Eris Market Fix. I applied this and Angry Birds Beta 2 etc all started appearing for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Babyface1249:
What exactly does the Eris Market Fix do? I'm always a bit hesitant to just let an app mess with my core apps.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Sigh.. just read the description of it on the market:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/eris-market-fix-free/net.andirc.erismarketfix

Quit being so paranoid, if so many people are using it + it's been released for quite some time + good feedback then there's nothing to worry about. Root is required.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
^ thanks for the suggestion, I will try it out probably... but to be devils advocate, it has only been out for 5 months (not a long time) and a lot of the comments from Galaxy people suggest it does not work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Pretty sure JI6 fixed the market. All my apps show now, didnt before update (ie flick kick).
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demo23019:
just download SGS tools from the market and select the market fix and should be fine.

edit

I need to learn to read before posting

you're all set
[Windows Mobile Themes] jerrya:
To all the brilliant theme designers out there. Does anyone want to work up a Calvin and Hobbes theme for Sense 2.5 (with CHT 1.8)? Or perhaps in all my searches I missed it, does anyone know if there is such a theme already.

And if there is, it can be in TL, Titanium, or any other that I might be able to work into my HTC Imagio running WVGA and WM6.5 on an NRG Custom ROM?

Or maybe even a Rush (the band) theme.

See, I really am unable to spend the time required to figure out how to make my own theme, so trust on the best in the business over here to show some fantastic themes.

Any advice or information will be greatly appreciated!

Is there anyway to put apps onto your sd card. The reason i need this is when i run metamorph it runs test and says i do not have enough free space on my phone. so im thinking moving some apps to sd card will help. any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
2.2 Froyo will allow apps to SD.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Little Dragon:
still not a great idea because your phone will continuously read your external SD card which in turn will drain your battery much, much faster
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

i had the clear lockscreen and clear launcher mod by chocmatic i think his name is.

the phone button on the launcher wasn't working so i went to install another clear rosie found here on the forums...it backfired, putting my phone into a boot loop. luckily i still had the install zip from the clear lockscreen/launcher on the sd card, so i booted into recovery, flashed that, and i'm back in the phone. the clear launcher is back (and still with the phone button not working) but now my lockscreen is different.

from what i've seen in threads this is the stock lockscreen (unlock on the left, volume on the right). ive tried flashing back the clear lockscreen, as well as the black lockscreen that I had before...and both times the installation goes fine but when the phone loads it's on the same ugly lockscreen...

what got messed up and how do I revert this?

i really want to go back to the clear lockscreen!

thanks for your help!

:o
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
nobody? come on i know you guys know this!:rolleyes:

EDIT: i did some more reading and the lockscreen i'm seeing is what i believe is called the Vanilla Lockscreen, rather than the HTC Lockscreen.

I pushed the HtcLockScreen.apk file (2.2) from the sticky thread here, it's under /system/app and nothing. i've also flashed two or three different varieties and nothing.

so is there something else in the framework that got messed up? this was after trying to flash a clear rosie made by Konikub that (now) i know was meant for 2.1...

please help out!

EDIT 2: fixed it myself. I adb pushed all the files that the bad flash changed on my phone from the rom zip file and i'm back to stock now...now to flash my clear lock screen :-)

mods feel free to delete the thread!

Just got the same email. In stock, but you'll end up dropping just over $70 for the whole she-bang... ouch.
[Captivate Accessories] Rambler358:
I had one of these ProClip holders for my old HTC Advantage, and it worked quite well. I just took off the standard mount on the back and attached a RAM mount.

I'll be curious to hear from anyone who gets this, as I'm curious how the mount would hold up rotated in landscape mode. I'd like to use it on my motorcycle for navigation.
[Captivate Accessories] bluetoothless:
Just ordered mine. I have had ProClip holders since my HTC 8525, Tilt, iPhone 3g, and Tilt2. Currently using an adjustable holder intended for 3G with slim case with my Captivate and Body Glove rubberized case. Works well but over time the adjustable screws loosen, but it did hold device after 74 y/o driver hit/spun me @ 70mph on I-95. I expected to find it somewhere else, but when I got to the shoulder it was right where it should be .......excuse me 911..... "please hold" ; ) It will be here before that driver's shady insurance company owns up to FHP citation and fixes my car :(
[Captivate Accessories] kangi26:
OUCH

$75 including shipping? I dont think so. Great idea, WAY too much money
[Captivate Accessories] JST829:
For those of us that already have a ProClip mount, $35 is not too bad. I, however will be waiting to see what they do with the charging model.
[Captivate Accessories] SuperSHO:
ProClip Captivate Active Mount

The active mounts are on the ProClip site now; $79.99 for the hardwire kit, $59.99 for the lighter plug-in model. If you don't have a mount, add another $29.99.
[Captivate Accessories] DocRawk:
Assuming that the Otterbox Defender belt clip can hold the Captivate backwards as well as it could my old iPhone, I'll be getting one of the generic mounts that accepts a button or clip so that I can use one of these mounts without removing my case. That way, I can rotate my phone into landscape view and use car home and Navigation easily.

Try the power button. That should turn the screen back on so you can tap the end-call button.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Zaslav:
I have the solution!!!

I just downloaded Wiimote Controller from the market and can now use my Wii controller to play NES games and SNES games on my X10. Woot!

I tested out Contra and Mike Tyson's Punchout and they both worked flawlessly using the Wii remote as a controller (Saw video of SNES games being played). This may not be the best solution for our phones(Obviously MT would be great but meh) But it is a damn good substitute.

If any has or wants to download this to try out games on a PSX emulator or any other emulator you may have that would be awesome!

Cheers!

Zaslav

P.S. I did a search to make sure nothing similar was posted and found nothing in this forum. If it's old news sorry!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Reeonimus:
It is pretty neat to be able to use a wii mote to play games, but it just feels wrong when your controller is bigger than the screen haha. And when i'm playing a game on the train there is no where to put the phone to use the wii mote. Unless you set it on your lap then you get major neck cramps staring down at your legs.

Now if you could rig something to clip the wii mote onto the phone that would be cool.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kbadone:
How about PS3 controller?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Reeonimus:
Though PS3 controllers are bluetooth I don't think they could ever sync with the phone as they only pair through the usb cable, while the wii-mote pairs wirelessly.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
? once you've paired the Wiimote with your x10... can you still use it on the Wii without having to re-pair it with the wii??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Zaslav:
I smell a diy project in the works

Good question, I don't know my Wii doesn't want to work right now.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Reeonimus:
After pairing it with my phone, then quitting the game and turning the wiimote off I pushed the power button on my wiimote and the Wii turned on :-)

Lol too many wiis in that statement.
[G1 General] 79bass:
Hi to all, suddenly I can't charge my HTC Dream anymore. It wont boot and even with a charged battery it wont start.

I have tried with 2 batteries and with 2 wall charger plus via USB.

No way to boot it.

Before it was working perfectly. What it can be? some inside ribbon/connector to replace.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] bubby323:
I don't know about you but I'm not a huge fan of the touchwiz lock screen and apparently neither are other touchwiz variant owners. So I decided to compile a jar for the stock vanilla launcher as a replacement. I haven't tested it yet, but if anybody can successfully get it to push to /system/framework and report back to me that would be great.

There are two files attached one is the modified jar to push and the other is any update.zip to flash back the original if the modded doesn't work.

You must also be using a deodexed and zip aligned ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
I will test this when I make it home thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
is it working working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Spectral8x:
What is the likelyhood this could make a mess of the phone?

I can push it right now but I'm not sure I feel comfortable doing it not knowing what may happen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Spectral8x:
I can't seem to get it to push. Do i need to change the file name at all? It says read-only file system and won't allow a push.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
Couldn't make it more than 22min without having to try huh? ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mark920:
i extracted the jar from android policy.zip pushed it to /system/framework and my phone would not boot into the os, i had to restore my phone from a nandroid back i had, and yes i did have a deodexed and zipaligned rom on my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice3186:
So i was wondering around the internet and looking into what our phone actually looks like on the inside, and i came across this tear down.

http://i.techrepublic.com.com/gallery/456883.jpg

Anyone want to take a gander at the open square spot on the other side of the phone at the top(across from the sensor holes). I think it would be interesting if someone could track down a replacement front facing camera from the i9000 and then use a little bit of solvent on a Q-tip to take the black paint off the front of the screen and install it on the captivate. Flash a i9000 rom and viola you have a video calling!!! Anyone care to comment?!?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTodFather:
Never understood what was cool about front facing camera. Unless your into chat roulette and we all know what that is...guy jackn off, dood jackin, weird old man jackin it. Oh it's a hot chick...opps just another guy jackin it!

Well sorry to "jack" your thread!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Man, you must live under a rock. There are thousands; Nay, millions of hot chicks that want to flash their boobs - they are just waiting on front facing camera. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokestack76:
No kidding? Lets get this done then. Lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTodFather:
So you are telling me if i wade through all the wieners there will be a light at the end of the tunnel and not more smokies?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
The open square on the left is where the 5MP rear camera came from. They already pulled it out by the time they got to this pic.

http://content.techrepublic.com.com/2346-13625_11-456848-29.html?tag=content;leftCol

http://content.techrepublic.com.com/2346-13625_11-456848-30.html?tag=content;leftCol

And there is more detail needing to install that front facing camera - i don't see any extra leads on any of the boards. What does it get connected to?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
This seems like an awful lot of efforts to see tits from a bunch of guys who have google at their fingertips
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice3186:
the square

Yea that is where they pulled it out but if you look at it there is a hole on the front side and it looks like a different set of mounting tabs below where the back camera sits! I saw that at first and then i looked a little harder!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Yeah, i saw this story on the internet, and the girls are just waiting for easy cams to use - they just want to show their boobs to all the smokies.

I heard it online so it must be true.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice3186:
well maybe not

I just checked out an i9000 tear down and it looks like they have a whole separate slot for their camera and they are not just stacked on top of each other! So maybe not, still none the less interesting that they left the circle open on the front of the phone........well a man can hope (the camera and the girls :) )
[Droid Incredible General] clambert11:
So I basically have Stock 2.2 with a lot of the unnecessary apps removed. The other day I installed King's 4th Kernel hoping for better battery performance but in the end it's a little worse. I'm not blaming the kernel for my performance issues. But I'm looking for feedback to get better battery life.

Right now I am not using Set CPU. I just flashed the ROM, wiped the dalvik cache, and decided not to wipe the battery stats. I've been using the #4 kernel for two days now.

I work my phone pretty hard every day and have a good idea of when it's gonna die. I don't bother bump charging but rather replace the battery with a spare I have on hand.

Any recommendations to fix my problem?

Try a different kernel?

Get Set CPU? I'm not interested in overclocking but I realize other features are available.

Wipe the battery stats?

One thing I can say for certain is that I've been using this kernel with my current setup for 2 days now and battery performance is worse. Something definitely needs to be tweaked in my engine because I shouldn't have to use 3 batteries in one day.

Again, I want to reiterate that I know there are a lot of factors that affect battery life. I'm basing my opinion off of my past battery life throughout the day. It's probably not the kernel but how I have things setup. I'm just looking for some direction to extend the life a bit.
[Droid Incredible General] Grikshanks:
The biggest thing to do will be setcpu. Underclocking during screen off and using conservative governor will drastically improve battery life.
[Droid Incredible General] srt4mn:
I haven't ever had good luck with the King kernels on my phone. Adrynaline's Custom kernel has worked awesome for me though. Took it off the charger at 11am yesterday, used it regularily and didn't charge until today at 3pm and still had 32% battery left. I use SetCPU for underclocking the phone when the screen is off and that seems to be the best way to save battery. I also don't have anything syncing throughout the day besides gmail accounts.
[Droid Incredible General] clambert11:
Ok, well I guess I will start with Set CPU. Sounds like it's worth the cash. Maybe I'll try a different kernel at the same time.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] Jaguox:
Setcpu is available for free to xda forum members. Do a bit of searching around and you'll find the link to the .apk
[Droid Incredible General] daftlush:
Setting CPU Max at 555 when screen is off took me from 9-14hours to 25-30hours.

Clearing battle stat seems important

I like interactive mode when it seems to be working right. I don't really know what Interactive mode is except that setcpu will show the CPU jumping to differant frequency instead of ramping up like with conservative.
[Droid Incredible General] clambert11:
I knew this and had forgotten. Fortunately, right before I dropped the cash the light bulb came on. I appreciate the heads up anyway.

Has anyone had luck with King's Kernels?

srt4mn, do you have a link to the kernel you are using?
[Droid Incredible General] FlairDevil:
The kernel comes with the Virtuous ROM and can be downloaded as a separate entity from ROM Manager in his area.
[Droid Incredible General] clambert11:
Ok, cool. I'll give it a shot. Is it tweaked to work just with the ROM or is it safe to install in Stock 2.2 as well?
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
Clambert11- Sounds as if you wrote your post for me. I haven't tried a custom rom or kernel yet but KK was the what I was considering. I do have setcpu running for a couple weeks now with underclocking for screen off, battery under 50%, and battery under 30%. Have noticed a modest improvement, mostly while phone is asleep at night. Not really much difference with day use. I carry a spare battery and charge at every opportunity.

I'll be watching this thread to see how the new kernel works for you. Sounds like it can be installed over the stock 2.2, yes? Does it require a full wipe?
