Like most people, I've had bad battery life since the J16 update. My phone didn't last a whole day [6am-10pm].

I've read and found nothing.

I decided to uninstall the new Task Manager that came with the J16 update.

Since I never installed one before, I thought it was worth a try.

It should be running in the background to check on 'open' apps, right?

UNINSTALLED.

So far, i know my battery has been lasting longer.

You should try this if you don't care about having the new task manager.

You can uninstall using Titanium Backup.

Don't try if you're not comfortable.

If anyone does this, post it up and let everyone know if battery life has increased.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Try a custom ROM
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Or, try actually using your phone. Why do people continue to try to pass off "Oh this phone has excellent battery life" when their own screenshots show that they haven't used the phone for most of its up-time?

FWIW, I can get about 4 hours of actual usage, i.e. the total time my screen is on is about 4 hours. That is not to say 4 hours of continuous usage, but rather in total for the whole day before my battery conks out on me.
[Vibrant General] pittphan:
Agree completely. I get about 4 hours of actual use at best.

I can't even use exchange email cause it destroys the battery.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Than I do not see a point of these threads about "my battery life sucks". I use my phone for my needs, and it lasts me longer since I upgraded to a custom ROM with a custom kernel. I use my phone as an MP3 player during my 2 hr commute, while reading the news, etc. Before I went with the custom ROM+kernel my phone would last 20 hrs at best while performing the same tasks.
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
Agreed! I actually get 4 hours of continuous use, as well. I thought it was crazy because everyone was talking about getting amazing battery life. Even with battery conditioning, I get the same 4 hours and when I say continuous use I mean it. I check my Twitter, RRS Feeds, Facebook, Browsing, Pandora, gaming, etc. All at the same time and I play heavy 3D games like N.O.V.A not anything like Hang Man. I never get past 4 hours because I use my phone extensively.
[Vibrant General] kmfisher:
This is a serious problem. It looks like the SyncManager has a huge bug introduced in JI6. It seems that the SyncManager will lose it's mind and continuously start pulling data over 3G from Exchange. No emails get returned at this point. Once I kill the SyncManager and run Email I will get all my emails and the SyncManager will run properly again.

When the SyncManager breaks, my battery drains at a rate of 1% per minute and the phone is HOT. I fear what it is doing to my data usage through T-Mobile. I just looked it up. 40 Megs in 4 hours (it was plugged into the charger for 3 of these). 7.2 GB/mo if I let it go for 30 days on the charger.
[Vibrant General] kuhan:
I'm running Bionix 1.9.1 I haven't used the phone in the past 3 hours and my battery's dropped to 73%
[Vibrant General] matyou98:
Is that battery meter in the screenshot an app you can download or is it part of a custom rom?
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
It's part of the ROM. I also believe there is a separate MOD for it.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
It is part of Android, so it is available on all ROMs - not just custom ROMs. Go to settings -> about phone -> battery status (or something like that).
[Vibrant General] demize!:
You are so right! Let me see those numbers with browser and homescreen on the top and I'd be happy. But I'd like to know if it's OK to remove that new task manager BC it does run constantly in the background?
[Vibrant General] rocketragz:
Out of frustration with horrible battery drainage after the update, i gave in a did a factory restore yesterday as a last resort.

I can happily say that my battery situation has dramatically improved after doing the factory restore. after sleeping for 7 hours, my battery drained ONLY 1% compared to the the night before in which my battery drained 30% over night.

Despite some saying not to use juicedefender, i've had good experiences with the program and I did have it running last night. (paid version)

Regarding mediahub, i have not accepted the t&c's and don't plan to. However download manager (media hub process) is running in my running services.

Currently it has been 14 hours since unplug and my batter is at 25%. I have used my phone heavily for the past 5 hours.

btw, my phone is completely stock.

I am quite happy.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
can anyone confirm that removing the Task Manager improves battery?

I did see an improvement stopping the Media Hub and DRM service but it only lasted a shrot time. Now I've been having terrible battery life, I've only been able to get about 15hr with bare minimum use. I rooted lastnight and removed Media Hub. I'm in airplane mode even and I'm dropping 1-2% every half hour.
[Vibrant General] dnahughes:
i dont get it i use my phone all day on wifi then play music at work for 4-5 hrs through bluetooth headphones come home surf the web on wifi for 2 hrs and my battery is still at 35% am i just lucky or ? i dont have the battery problems that i hear soooooo much about ?

Hi, could someone worth an epic provide the Camera.apk and Camera-Firmware.apk from their Epic? Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] mastarifla:
Here ya go :)

Hope you get some use out of them!
[Epic 4G General] NikolaiT:
Thank You! Cheers.
[Epic 4G General] kasl33:
That was quite possibly the shortest, easiest, and most direct topic that I have ever seen.
[Epic 4G General] NikolaiT:
And that, is a good thing, in my opinion ;)
[Epic 4G General] rdozier52:
where do you put the camera firmware and apk once you have it...i am a noob..
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
They are system apps and need to be either a) pushed to /system/app via adb, or b) copied to /system/app using a root-enabled file explorer on the phone (i.e. Root Explorer).
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
You dont need it he's using a different device I think but if you really need it it goes in system app
[Epic 4G General] Generalzhou:
RE: Camera.apk

Hi all, I came across this thread because my camera on my epic 4g is broken. It's not a hardware issue, or a rom issue (broken on stock and on CM7), so I thought i would reinstall the camera firmware and app to try to fix it. I have a rooted device running CM7 and copied this to the system/app folder, changing the files to .apk. However, when I try to install either app using ES File Explorer, it gives me an error that just says app not installed. Any suggestions? Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Usually you push system apps to the phone and reboot and they are installed.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
These apk's won't work on cm7. This is for the touchwiz camera, and probably for EC05.

I am Z.
[Epic 4G General] Generalzhou:
Thanks, that explains it. In that case, any suggestions on how I can get my camera to work on CM7? I've dl'd some 3rd party camera apps, the only one that seems to work is retro camera (and that breaks after taking one photo). The rest say someone about com.android.camera failing or just failing to load the camera application. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Could be some bad data causing it. I recommend downloading CM7 beta1 again, gapps again, and flashing them. If that doesn't fix it, then wipe data and flash again. You'll lose all of your data yes, but that could erase the culprit behind your camera. If it still doesn't work on a clean CM7 flash, then it is most likely a hardware issue of some kind.

I am Z.
[Epic 4G General] Generalzhou:
So I backed up my phone, then cleared the cached and formatted the phone. Then I reinstalled CM7 and it didnt work. I restored my original CM7 and the camera still didnt work.

However, it seems like the camerafirmware.apk is working (at least it seems so). 3rd party camera apps are working now, though it doesnt seem like camera.apk installed the stock camera app. Thanks all for the help and the apk files!

I added hyper droid to my phone and it starts up fine and everything works good, I started clrcad and then ran haret like it says, starts up fine and is stable but when i tried to do a test call to my girlfriend, she can hear me fine but when i hear her it makes like a gargling sound and i cant hear what shes saying at all. what do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markv:
My problem is slighty different to yours

I hope there is a solution to this,

Since I installed HSPL2 and flashed ChuckyROM 3.14, have been experiencing problem using wired or Bluetooth headset to make or receive calls. The incoming voice is ok but no outgoing.

To clarify, I’ve tried a few other radios and none made a difference.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] be4con:
As the thread title says really.

I've rooted my UK O2 SLCD Desire using unrEVOked and installed Teppic's Pre-rooted Stock Froyo (2.10.405.2) with init.d support ROM.

Prior to rooting the O2 branded boot went as follows:

Static O2 logo screen

Static HTC logo screen

Animated O2 logo scren.

Since flashing the boot is now:

Static O2 logo screen

Animated HTC screen

Is there a way to get rid of the static 2 logo on boot?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] bcatcool:
I have the same problem. Just started to look for a way of removing 02 boot. Purchased my Desire from 02 as had 12 month sim contract. Have Rommed my way through the various now using Pink - very stable.

Let you know if find anything!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] far004:
Hi guys...

I have some problem on my Vibrant of Android Market App not connecting (due to some unknown reason with my Google account). So, I decided to download and install Clockwork ROM Manager manually. I did so successfully. Now, I cannot figure out how to install Clockwork Recovery? The official site just gives me a .zip file. I don't know what to do with this .zip file. And I cannot download it from within CW ROM Manager, it gives some internet error...

If someone can guide me step by step, it would be awesome...

Thanks a lot in advance...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
extract the contents of the .zip to anywhere on your sd card. then use a file manager of your choice (astro, linda) to locate the .apk and install it to your phone. however, keep in mind YOU ALSO NEED TO HAVE THE PREMIUM LICENSE APK INSTALLED IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK. once ROM manager is up and running on your phone, just flash Clockwork through that.

edit: this is objective advice to help out, but please know that I do not support outside downloading of paid apps. and you might want to be careful because Clockwork is huge on this forum, and there are A LOT of supporters. you should be asking how to fix your market problem, not how to install ROM Manager for free. just my thoughts, good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] far004:
Thanks for the reply...

I have installed ROM Manager through the apk file that I downloaded. But now how do I flash Recovery? The zip file is supposed to be for Recovery, but how do I do it?

Do I need to go into Recovery Mode and then click on the "Re-install Packages" thingy??? If yes, do I need to rename the zip file?

Your help will be greatly appreciated...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
you need to flash the recovery through ROM manager....if thats not working its probably because you dont have the premium license for ROM manager downloaded. its used to protect against piracy...........why arent you trying to figure out how to fix your market instead
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] far004:
I did post a thread here but I didnt get much help... :(

I am not able to log into my Google account or any other Google based service (including Gmail and Google Maps). ROM Manager is also giving some internet error...

I am connected to WiFi and can use internet on my browser. Can do everything in the browser, including logging into Google...

So, if you can provide some help on this issue, that would even be nicer...

There are a few place where its mentioned to remove this folder: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings

Now how can I reach this folder? How can I access the terminal? If there is a separate app for that, which one is a good one and from where can I get it? (Remember I cannot access Android Market...)

So I was finally able to add my Google Account to my Vibrant... The Android Market and other Apps using Google are still not opening on Wifi, its very strange... I can use internet on my browser but the apps are still not able to use Wifi...

I hope I can figure this out as well, with your help... :)
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Any which way, itll be a month or so before cases specifically for the tab start trickling into my homeland Russia.

So, has anyone got a generic case yet? The tech market where i bought mine said there were compatible cases out there from ereaders and the like.

Im not sure i can cope with ordering a case from abroad...
[Galaxy Tab General] Khisha:
I know Noreve is extremely popular in Russia.

They got some extremely nice case for Tab with built-in stand and other tricks.

Amazon both .com and .co.uk are full with cases for tab.

Even e-bay got some.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I have seen that one case at http://www.noreverussia.com/noreve/pda/samsung/samsung_2118.html

To be honest I really don't want my gadget case to hold my passport and business cards.I could use something

with no pockets until some better stuff comes out. That tradition case is like $120 and pretty grotesque...

EDIT: upon closer inspection it looks quite good. If anyone has the ipad version id be interested to know if its svelte enough?
[Galaxy Tab General] Khisha:
What I actually had on my mind was this one/ but upon closer inspection it looks identical to me :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
The case from my old Archos 704 is a near perfect fit. The Tab is quite a bit thinner, but otherwise it's perfect.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Could you take a picture please? This would be much cheaper than the case noreve... preferably of the place where it seems loose.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
I assume that last post, requesting a photo, was meant for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
It was... thanks. Pity its a sleeve rather than a cutout case. Whats it called, do you know?
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
Really don't know if it has it's own name. It's the case from an Archos 704, that was part of the standard archos retail package. I have no idea if they're available alone, but if not, there are quite often people selling broken archos 704's or 705's on ebay, maybe get in touch with one of them.
[Vibrant General] beedo:
Hey guys quick question, I woke up this morning to turn my alarm off and there was a message that my update finally arrived. I clicked ok and went back to sleep and thought it would update the phone. I am still rooted and oclf is still in effect my quadrant score was ~2200. System info said 2.1-update 1 and T959UVJFD. I don't think it went through.
[Vibrant General] Frizzmmm:
You are correct, the update didnt apply itself to your phone.

But from the sounds of it you are rather lucky it didnt. Most rooted users who leave their phone rooted and try to apply the update end up in the Q&A section starting a threadlike "OTA brocked my phone"

I suggest you remove the lag fix, un root, and then search the forums for the post about using launcher pro to force your phone to search for the update.

Conversely, there is also a thread about how to manually install the new update.

Again, you will have to search it out as I cant currently post links.

Hope this helps
[Vibrant General] Duce HD2:
I had the same thing happen. I was rooted with OCLF installed, I disabled everything, unrooted, and uninstalled OCLF.

I went ahead and started the update and BAM! "froze" on vibrant screen- good bye! I had to ODIN, and reflash back to stock.

Up to you at this point...good luck.
[Vibrant General] beedo:
Yea I didn't get the update, I went ahead and loaded Rom manager and backed up my rooted Rom and used the download section to load the j16 Rom from them and it looks like it loaded and everything I but still doesn't show up in my settings. Still stock

[Vibrant General] evanef:
For anybody still waiting impatiently on the update. You may want to consider flashing Fusion 1.1 from the dev section. It is from the update build so you wouldnt need the update, and it is a lot faster and very stable. Read through the forum over there if you are interested. There is a lot of excellent feedbeck. It can be flashed over JFD through clockwork very easily.

Over the past month I have used the following launchers, tw launcher, android launcher, and adw.launcher -and adw.launcher is always using half the RAM of the other two

tw launcher ~ 34-35 MB

Android launcher ~29-30 MB

Adw.launcher ~14-15 MB

I was wondering if any of you ruining launcher pro could post how much RAM it is using on your phone and if anyone could confirm what I have found with the other three launchers. Feel free to post any other launchers RAM as well if you want.

Thanks for the info. At some point I wil def give lp a look, and probably zeam and helix as well.

While I am not surprised that samsung's tw launcher is resource heavy, I'm a little surprised that android launcher has need of that much more memory then adw or lp, as adw and lp are every bit as functional (even more functional actually).

Its less than 10 seconds, more like 3.
