[Droid 2 General] iraf:
I have a non-rooted Droid 2 and the Desk/Home dock. When I first tried it out, it worked as expected--starting the home dock screen when placed in the dock. However, I now find that whenever I dock the droid, the notification bar shows that it is connected to the multimedia dock but it does not start the dock application. I used Astro to browse the /system/app folder and found a file Dock.apk- clicked on Open App manager and then Launch at which point I get a message saying "Activity not found com.motorola.dlauncher". I am assuming this is related to why the dock app is not running when the Droid is docked.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me why this suddenly stopped working (related to trying to see if a magnet next to the phone will do what the dock does?) and more importantly, what I can do to get it working again? I do not want to do a factory reset as I have spent all too much time getting apps loaded and configs setup. The app appears to be there but it won't run.

THANKS.
[Droid 2 General] mrkite38:
Sounds like maybe you removed a necessary apk from the phone, something that contains the missing activity...
[Droid 2 General] iraf:
I agree that is what it looks like but unless an app can do that on a non-rooted phone, I don't know how I managed to do that. Also the dock.apk seems to be there (unless it is damaged in some way). So now , the question is how to further narrow down what is missing or damaged and how to repair it.
[Droid 2 General] event121:
You probably installed another app/program that changed or disabled that functionality. Hard-reset. Try again.
[Droid 2 General] iraf:
Given how much effort I have expended getting this Droid to where I want it, I would really like to avoid doing a factory reset. I don't know of an easy way to backup all of the apps and settings so that they can be restored (as is possible on the iPhone) unless the phone is rooted. Can anyone suggest what I might try doing other than a hard reset (which is the Verizon answer to any problem they can't solve).

Thanks.
[Droid 2 General] ttlycnfuzd:
OK... You said that when you load it in the dock, the notification bar indicates that the dock has been detected... So what happens when you drag the notification bar down and tap on the "Multimedia Dock" notification? Does the Dock app load, or does it give you the error at that point as well?
[Droid 2 General] iraf:
I don't believe this...I have a feeling that you were about to actually solve this problem because after trying to get this to work innumerable times, I just put the Droid in the dock to tell you precisely what the message was ("Multimedia Dock Detected" and when I tap on the notification, " Activity com.motorola.dlauncher not found") and low and behold it started working again. Very strange (unless VZW is doing OTA changes that somehow repaired the problem. I think that it knew you were going to tell me how to fix it :-)

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] ttlycnfuzd:
well, I didn't have an answer for you, merely going to try and help troubleshoot a bit. Glad you got it figured out.... Did you do anything to it since the last time you tried? Reset the phone?

If you had a rooted phone, there would be lots more that we could have tried, such as moving files and checking permissions...

Hope you are enjoying your Droid, despite this problem....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonveliki:
Hi!

Can someone tell me if roms are different for AMOLED and SLCD screens?

When I have rooted my HTC Desire, I was stuck on that famous black screen and I hardly fixed that up. Now I have rooted my HTC Desire as described at unlockr.com. Of course, I would like to load new rom on it, but I do not know, was that black screen consequence of downgrading hboot or wrong version of rom.

Thanks a lot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevoWution:
I'm no expert, but I believe there is a different process to rooting an SLCD Desire. What you may have done is that you've rooted your SLCD phone via the AMOLED way?

Correct me if I'm wrong, people :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonveliki:
Yes, that is exactly what I did.:)

But now I would like to know if the roms for those two types of phone are different too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtcislove:
I dont think they are different. Try out OpenDesire i heard this has real SLCD support .
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoemeistah:
No difference in rooting. I own a SLCD and did it the "AMOLED way".

No problems ever occurred, also used unrevoked and not S-off.

But every way should work fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDShadowMan:
Bump to TOP....

I actually have the same Question, im a little bit confused that noone except one answered this. Is the answer that obvious? :D

Question: Is there ANY difference between SLCD and AMOLED Roms... or can i take any of them.

The reason is that i want to get rid of my branding.... I dont have much time to flash every new rom (which might be interessting - no time).

So back to the question: any difference or take the latest and be happy?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
There was difference between slcd and amoled roms before the 2.2 Froyo release.

And the custom roms are based on 2.2 (now even 2.3) , so you'll not have any problems with that :) .

Hey guys I'm currently working on an app that interfaces with contacts. Is there a way in which i can create a dummy phone buck containing 1000+ contacts to stress test the application?
[Android Software Development] luigi90210:
you can make a gmail account and sign into the newly created one and just add 100 fake emails/contacts to test the app

hope that helps
[Android Software Development] Surge1:
I was kinda hoping there was some sorta dev tool that would just create that many fake contacts without having to do it manually, but thanks =]
[Android Software Development] tjhart85:
Export an existing Google Contacts list into a csv and edit that. Make the names something like name 1, name 2 and so on. Basically do the same with the phones numbers and you can easily with very little effort just pull that information back into a gmail contacts again and use that.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Spardorp:
fastest wm6.5?

I believe this depends on what hardware you want it have it running and how many graphical stuff and applications.

All todayscreen apps use more memory than the classic windows-mobile todayscreen. On my Tytn1 I kept the classic screen to free up memory.

I suggest to check the many roms developed by MrDSL or FCW or Mirion from queppc

i have seen many running the fixed NHL mobile app meant for verizone on the evo. everything for the most part works great, but what i really need it for is to watch the nfl redzone channel on sundays. whenever watching the redzone it works fine for awhile, then i always get a spinning verizon symbol and the phone completely locks up. the only way to get the phone working correctly is to remove the battery.

does this happen to anyone else? has anyone figured out how to get this working correctly?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qipengart:
After countless tweaking, I found what is an acceptable battery management scheme for my HD2.

I thought: what parts of the phone suck up the most battery life (based on CurrentWidget)?

1) processor (1 GHz)... this is overkill for most applications. Basically I decided to dial this down to 384mhz which is rather acceptable using SetCPU. So basically Max: 384000 Min: 245000; scaling ondemand and set on boot checked. Under Profiles, I added Screen Off with Priority: 100, 245 max and 245 min. Set this ondemand setting.

2) I enabled Autokiller (downloaded from the Marketplace) and set to Extreme (150, 160, 170).

3) Under Settings--> Accounts & sync--> I turned off Background data (unchecked this) and Auto-sync as well.

4) Under Wireless & Networks --> Mobile networks --> I turned off Enable always-on mobile data (unchecked this) too.

Well, things are much better... with heavy usage (not a moderate guy here) I unplugged my phone at 8:30 AM and now it is 2:35 PM and my battery is down to 76% now. So basically I will be getting around 24 hours straight of moderate-heavy usage here.

Not bad?

Personally I wish that we could throttle the processor based on the mAh of drawn current. I think that 300-400 mah (according to Currentwidget) is way too high for processor usage? Not sure.

Any opinions?

I use a spare battery (8 bucks ebay) I make no attempt other than adjusting screen brightness appropriately, to conserve battery or resources. I have never had any issues. sometimes my spare floats around in my pocket two to three days unused mostly on days that I work that happens.

I learned the value of a spare shortly after I got my tp2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
I am not sure if you did enough there ... best preservation of the battery is if you actually TURN YOUR PHONE OFF and take the battery out... then when u need it, pop the battery in, use it, and again - take it out...

Who cannot deal with battery drain should get probably Nokia E71 sine its battery runs for at least 4 or 5 days with moderate use including navigation...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qipengart:
Actually, this isn't bad at all. I managed to get about 3-4 hours of Angry Birds to play this evening. Sadly enough, I work nights so I have no way to plug during the middle of the day. This is awesome and man, I only get serious lag during hard animation or graphics processing during gaming. By 10 PM tonight, I got down to 28% battery life before recharging now :)

Everything else is kosher. I am a happy dude now.

Screen Glows - Even on standby

Anyone else notice their screen glowing at night using Android. (Not bright enough to notice during the day).

When i turn off the screen using red button, I see a glow coming from phone. Seems screen isn't shutting off correctly. This will be causing unnecessary battery drain.

When i switch back to Windows then turn off, the glow isn't there. (Only on Android).

Anyone know a setting/hack to fix this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nzxtneo:
Yeah, that doesn't sound right at all, but considering you gave no info what so ever on your build setup it may be next to impossible to help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
Ok, seems overkill but good for you.

for me, using ShubCraft 2.0 drop mode, stock kernel, no underclocking/overclocking/undervolting/overvolting, and just a little bit of display brightness tweaking I get 16 hours out of my phone with I would say moderate use. Probably an average of two hours mp3, two hours gaming, at least 90 mins talk time, about 30-40 texts, light 3G browsing and email use and probably an hour or so gaming. Obviously the rest of the time in that 16 hours is "standby" time. Even then I probably only get down to about 40% charge.

I've put Darkstone Froyo (no sense) 3.0 on top of my HSPL 2.08, radio 12, Ozz Rom barebone and DID NOT install SetCpu, nor Task killer, nor under/over-clocked or under-volted my CPU.

The result is 4-8 mA in Currentwidget on standby with data sync all the time, Wifi on (while in standby wifi gets disconnected automatically - you don't have to do anything), bluetooth and GPS off when I do not need them.

So, my battery delivers at least 24hrs of Anroid use without any tweaks or additional apps, just BARE/STOCK Android Froyo 2.2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] E90 Commie:
I have realized that the "reboot method" is working. I'm running HyperDroid Sense 1.1 with Hastarin r8 together with Omega XT 17.2 and radio 2.15. The power consumption was 57-65 mAh in standby - but today I simply tried the "reboot until consumption is being reduced" method - and now it consumes 9-11 mAh in standby.

I'm using SetCPU with the recommended settings.

With other words: simply reboot the phone and check the consumption with CurrentWidget. After 1 - 3 reboots it should be reduced to an acceptable level.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] freebieman:
Good point! - HD2 Tmous Running Android 2.2 mdeejay eVo Sense REVOlution build.

Runs fine in windows mode, but in Android screen continues to have dim glow when switched off. For the moment i've taken to switching back to windows to save battery life.

Any thoughts?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hitekredneck:
I have two flavors of Android that are currently my favorites. Great performance, no freezes fully functional and acceptable as an alternate for everyday use. One is phiredrop's Skinny EVO v1.5 and the other is mDeejays Sense rEVOlution v2.3. Both are based on the EVO ROM and both are Sense builds. After a lot of experimentation I have found battery life to be excellent with the following procedure.

Always boot your Android using Excellers Android loader. Boot up into Windows Mobile. Once it is settled in tap on the Exceller Loader icon but do not launch Android at this point, instead hit your home hardkey to light up the hardkeys then immediately tap on the Exceller Loader icon again and load your choice of build before the hardkey lights go off.

Once Android is fully loaded turn off screen auto rotation and disable auto brightness in settings. Then set the brightness level one notch below what is default. Do not use SetCPU nor any task killers whether they be manual or automatic. These are not needed for great battery life and can be detrimental to your performance and battery life rather than beneficial. Go to the Market and download and install CurrentWidget and set it to show on your main screen. Turn off GPS, Wifi, and bluetooth since you do not use them full time anyway.

If you spend most of your day inside of a factory as I do, or any other place where carrier signal is not good, get an airplane mode widget to put your device into Airplane Mode whenever the signal is spotty. If you have a signal fulltime then the airplane mode is not necessary as I have found the drain on the battery to be exactly the same with it off or on when I have a good signal.

Do all of the above then hit the hard end key to put your phone in standby. Let it set a couple of minutes then hit the key again to light it up, unlock it and take a look at the mA reading on your current widget. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the results.

I am downloading SkinnyEVO v1.7 as I type. I will report back on the drain that this new build requires as it has a newer version of Haret, some folks are reporting that it causes severe battery drain.

By the way, when at home with good signal and Wifi turned on, this setup for these two builds draws only 4mA in standby.

Below are screenshots of two different EVO based builds and on two different days. It's not a coincidence folks, this does work. I also set 11.02.miui.english build up this exact same way and it was only drawing 3mA in standby also. Give it a try and let me know your results for your build. I would like some info specifically on the non-EVO builds, as well as Sense and non-Sense builds for this method.

One more thing to consider, I am NOT using hot reboot to get these readings. These are readings that I get on each and every boot with the method explained above. Hot Reboot is a handy tool to have installed if you have some crazy app that wants to drag your device down and won't turn loose, but it is totally unnecessary for good battery life.

I checked the CurrentWidget earlier today after upgrading the kernel to Hastarin r8.1. 9-10 mAh with HyperDroid Sense 1.1 and everything is working great.

I have the screen rotation enabled and use SetCPU paired with WatchDog (I prefer to receive warnings about processes running away).

I use the EBL to load Android immediately after WM has loaded and everything is working just great. I got the impression that I have almost a better battery life with Android now than with WM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hitekredneck:
Update: Nov 9th - I have tried the SkinnyEVo v1.7 and have had no luck in getting it to run. Even changed out the kernel to newest 8.1, tried it with the supplied data image and without. No luck at all, it will not get past the HTC splash screen. I wish there were a way to disable that splash so I could see what is causing the problem and get this thing to launch.

Anyways, I have now tried the above method the tytung NexusHD2-FRG83 v1.4 PPP/RMNET build and had the exact same results that I had with SkinnyEVO v1.5 and Sense rEVOlution v2.3. 3 mAh in standby. Works like a charm, now if only SkinnyEVO v1.7 would cooperate. :(

hello,

i realy have hight battery drain ... it's between 50 and 60 mA in standby mode no matter if the phone is on flight mode or data on or any other thing enabled ... so i said maybe it's some app that prevent my hpone to go in standby mode ... so i did everything from the start ...task29 +hspl+magldr+recevery ...after installing the hyperdroid v12 and befor installing any app i installed current widget and the same consumption 50 -60 mA ...i've read that in all the night and with flight mode the phone drain 2% - 5% ... for me it's 5% per hour ...

I dont know if it'as a hardware probleme or no but i thought it's my battery but i use 2 battery now and the same thing for both... i used many roms the hyperdroid is the less hungdry ... with cm7 v3.3.5 an amazing battery drain.

does the magldr or CLk have anything to do with battery drain?
