I admit I loved flashing ROM's, radios, tweaking. But it was just too plain for me, no apps, not much social networking. I'll admit it is perfect for a businessperson, but for me, and my priorities, Android successfully satisfied me. I know that it could have been dual booted, but running off a SD Card was kind of iffy to me. WinMo has the customization down, but no apps. Android has apps, and some customization. It just goes down to personal preference I guess. I mean I loved both devices, but Android just suited me better. Plus I like my real keyboard haha.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I've been eyeing the G2 and thinking about pickup up one for sure... Right now I've got the HD2 and an Iphone 2G 16GB. I gave my old G1 to my girlfriend. I agree that running Android off of the SD Card isn't my first choice, but I think it's OK... I only want a G2 because I'm a total phone nerd and like to have new stuff. Probably end up with a W7 phone eventually too.

When using a bluetooth keyboard with android, i miss functions for ex. alt+tab, custom functions for keycombinations, ex. select all by pressing alt+a

A program that runs in background while the bluethooth keyboard is running would do the job.

I think pro user would buy this program.

Hey, i have some problems rooting my desire i got yesterday..

I've think i have some problems with goldcard or something, well, i've followed some guides, black screen got fixed, but when i'm trying to root my desire it wont apply:update.zip (in recovery)

Think i've got SLCD since i did get the black screen...

I also found a good method, but it said that i needed the andriod 1.0 driver when i have the phone connected to pc in bootlader...

Any help?

Would be awseome if any1 helped me... : )

I keep seeing all these threads about how people are getting rediculous hours on 1 charge, but mostly all the post I see are people with rooted phones. What are the best ways to increase battery live on a epic with stock rom?
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Those crazy battery life u see is ppl putting their phone in airplane mode and with very limited use. They don't mean anything. But some tips to improve batt life are keep screen brightness down, turn off 4g when not in use, maybe use juice defender to automatically turn off 3g whenever the screen is off.

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
I'm 100% stock, unrooted.

Turned off Auto-Sync

Brightness set to auto

Wifi on, since I'm usually within range of work or home wifi

Swapped Wifi policy to never drop when asleep. (prevents wifi from dropping and going to 3g)

Killed that absolutely stupid DRM process

Activate Airplane mode after initial boot and turn it back off. (Due to Samsung bug)

Have any program that syncs set to sync at 2hr intervals

My battery life with heavy usage will last over 6 hours (games, txts, browsing, app downloading). With moderate usage it usually can go 15 hours (sans app downloading), and with light usage I've pushed it 2 days (games and txts).

Mind you I don't use the browser much since 90% of my day is in front a PC, Mon-Fri.
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
I'm 100% stock, no root as well.

1.Train your battery!

when I got my phone I did at least 3 full charge/complete discharge cycles

2.I do not use any Task Killers or JuiceDefender (tried and uninstalled for ineffectiveness), I just use built in tool to monitor running programs and kill off the one I do not need. I prefer not to install application that do not have clean exit programmed. I do use JuicePlotter to monitor battery charge/discharge.

3. After each reboot toggle airplane mode on and off(Airplane trick)

4. Go to Menu/Settings/Applications/Running Services and shut down all services that not needed (DRM, MediaHub, etc)

5. Set brightness to minimal possible value (works fine for me), not auto set - when I need it on the street just slide the finger across the status bar and raise the level as needed.

6. All 4G, GPS, Wi-Fi are off and on only when needed. I use Wi-Fi home, 4G at work, rest of the places 3G or whatever is available. My data/sync is always on. Wi-Fi set to never sleep.

7. I have Roaming Guard off since my house in the very poor reception area so it's roaming most of the time but there is wi-fi for data.

8. Use dark background/wallpaper (I use Star Wars light speed jump live wallpaper)

IMO the battery life is depend on the type of use. From my 2 month experience the following battery killer tasks are:

1.Streaming video, music with screen on (will discharge the battery even when plugged in.

1a.Streaming music with screen off.

2. I haven't tried tethering (hot spot mode) but would think it's a killer as well

3. Browsing web, especially over 3G

4. Roaming

5. Game playing.

6. GPS

Obviously you can have a bad (defective) battery, but it's likely less then 1%.

Good luck!

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] noreboy:
nikon120 - What do you consider moderate? I consider my usage to be moderate, but I can't go 15hrs. Yesterday after fully charging the phone from mid point, my phone completely died after 5hrs, with very light usuage as most of that time I was busy. Today with light to moderate usage, my phone is indicating that it needs to be charged at roughly hr 10.

stud_muffler - I'm not familair with this airplane trick you're referring to. Can you enlighten me?

I'm doing most of the things suggested in this post, but I still don't think the battery usage I'm getting is up to par. The battery life on my Epic is much worse then what I was getting on my WinMo TP2, with roughly the same amount of usage.
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
After you reboot the phone press and hold Power button until it buzz.

Menu will appear.

Select and touch Airplane Mode option. It will turn off all radio and show plane icon in the status bar.

wait few seconds and repeat to turn radio on.

that's all.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe.kerwin:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebullient:
I have messed with these settings for quite some time. They don't seem to have any effect (tried handset/headset/speaker/so on) and you lose any changes when you reboot.

Min volume is also too loud for me. Using a preamp like in PowerAMP or Mixzing helps but it's staticy.

i understand that i'll probably get yelled at for "posting about something already asked/answered" but i don't know what else to do. Every reboot i do doesn't help, every switch to airplane mode, every reflash of my current rom, nothing works.

my mobile network WILL NOT come on.

tried restoring to earlier backups, nothing is working.

the only thing i can do now is run off wifi.

this happened to me the other night on skyraider 3.3 using king's BFS#5 kernel. i'm not entirely sure what caused the problem, but flashing a different kernel fixed it for me - i'm currently using the stock sense htc kernel 2.6.32.17 with no issues at all.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] nathanpc:
Hello,

I saw that many Android devices, like Desire and the G1, have the 1-Click root feature. Since I don't want to flash any ROM on my device, because the last time I tried to do a flash was on an iPAQ(not the one that I have now, but was the same model), it bricked. Since that, I promised that I would never flash any ROM on my devices, also I don't want to loose all the contacts, photos, videos, applications and other things that I got on my Milestone. So, I want to know if there is any 1-Click rooting tool for the Motorola Milestone.

Best Regards,

1.) Make sure you are using RSDLite 4.8 rather than 4.7.

2.) Make sure you are using the FULL 2.2 OTA SBF and not just the system 2.2 OTA SBF.

ok problem solved, I bought the Bootstap app from market and it worked perfect! As far as RSDLite, I am using the latest version (4.8) and i have the full version, problem is that it doesnt recognize my phone at all :( on Windows 7 64bit while i did use RSDLite 4.7 with 2.1SBF and everything worked on the sam OS???
[Droid X General] luv2increase:
Make sure u fully uninstall old rsdlite 4.7 and delete the remaining folder before installing 4.8. U don't need that modified file for 4.8 like u did for 4.7. Make sure that is deleted.
[Vibrant General] gmasterb:
hello all

I found something funny

I've purchased myself a vibrant about 1 1/2 month ago

it was all nice, problems with gps as do many have, and besides it had few lags here and there..

I flashed bionix final along with upgraded rom of JAC

all is ok

still little lags here and there.

last week I purchased a vibrant for a friend...

took it to my hands to install him some apps, plus rooting the phone and etc...

his phone is with stock VJFD version (should be old by now, and that what also came on my phone)

his phone has totally no lags...

my score in quadrant for example is about 960

his score is about 880

his phone starts faster, reloads everything faster, shutsdown faster, and general feeling in the interface is that it is much faster.

is it possible by any way?

does it make sense that both phone act very differently?

my phone never felt as smooth as the newer phone does, even with updated rom+kernel

is it possible the hardware was changed along the way or something else is interfereing on my phone?

Remote phone access features.

I am surprised MS are not advertising their features which match HTCSense.com

HTC seem to be making a big deal about Remote location, Ringing and Erasing your HTC Desire HD or Desire Z from a browser.

I was really pleased to discover matching features at windowsphone.live.com.

Using Find My Phone on the website you can:

- Map it (to catch thieves...)

- Ring it (to locate in the sofa)

- Lock it (with onscreen message)

- Erase it

On activation the Microsoft sytem warns that it works via a hidden text message based system instead of the HTC equivalent which seems to work on mobile data, and so it takes about 30 seconds for the Windows version wheres HTCSense.com takes about 2 seconds to perform each task.

What do you think of their systems?

Q1) What if the phone can't get a data connection?

Is Microsoft GSM SMS method is better?

Q2) What if a thief changes the SIM card?

Does the HTC method still work via a phone identifier, where MS is perhaps linked to the phone number?

I wonder how they work...

Still, I am pleased! Very cool feature to have provided by the operating system and not a third party app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chex13:
I read somewhere (can't remember where) that you can change this setting so it uses the 'push' functionality to react faster, but uses more battery.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
None of this crap matters. If I find a GSM phone I'm going to remove the SIM card and factory reset it. Anyone that isn't retarded will do the same thing. If you care about people using/reselling you device if you lose it or get it stolen, you have no business getting a GSM phone.

Any thief or person who finds a nice device will immediately turn the phone off and both remove the SIM Card and factory reset it. Then they will pay $15 to get it unlocked and make bank with it on CraigsList or eBay.

No Cell Carrier will cooperate with police to track that phone. T-Mobile has even defied sopoenas citing "privacy issues."

As to you two quetions. None of them matter - at ALL. The phone is turned off and factory reset ASAP when it is stolen or found by someone in 95% of cases. There are very few nice people when they find or take something and no one sees them. They will wipe the phone, remove the SIM, and either keep or sell it.

Only way to be secure is to either have an iPhone or get a CDMA device. That way the phone becomes useless (unless jailbroken for iPhone, but EINs are marked dirty and the devices become useless other than as WiFi devices) and they can only profit off of it through scamming others (or selling it for parts?).

After my experience with getting my Vibrant stolen, and what I've learned... I'm definitely going with a CDMA carrier the second I can (and ETFing T-Mobile). The fact that US Carriers don't work together like Europe makes it a market for thieves and resellers. Privacy laws even protect the thieves, here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BlueAnt1958:
Kinda Disagree on this

Some of this is correct but is heavily assuming that the person who takes the device has some knowledge of its functions and of smartphone use in general.

There has been some theft of devices in AU recently where the thieves have been caught due to lack of knowledge of the device they had stolen. It did in fact lead the cops to where they were. They had basically just replaced the sim and done nothing else to the phone.

This of course maybe different in the US and of course powered off it ain't calling anybody.
