[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Well I've been using Juice Defender for half a year on two different phones. How much battery it can save you is debatable. So long as you don't have excessive SNS polling and partial wake data usage problems of some sort, it's not going to net you much of anything.

I was an ardent user of this app, but the last week running without it at all (running Bionix Final JI2 modem) compared to the first couple of days running this firmware I can say with confidence it's not needed for me any longer. I'd even go so far as to say I've been a victim of ye olde placebo effect.

If you don't have the pro version the automatic defaults are about as good as it gets. Best of luck.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Personally I had worse battery life with JD, I would stay away from it.
[Vibrant General] NJLaPrell:
Get Tasker instead. It can do anything JD does and WAY more. JD worked for me, but it caused the stock ROM to run a but sluggish.
[Vibrant General] floepie:
The main thing the JD does it seems, at least by default settings, are two things. First, by default it disables your APN connection (3G/2G) when battery falls below 15%. I've disabled this, I keep an eye on my battery anyway. The other thing by default is by far the better of the two. By default, it turns on your APN connection for 1 minute once every 15 minutes for a duration of 1 minute. By default, that's all this app really does, and it doesn't need to ping the CPU as it sits between 0.0% and 0.1% CPU utilization as reported by Watchdog.

I'm not advocating the use of this app nor am I claiming this will even save battery life, but given the knowledge of what its default settings do, I'm of the belief that having your APN turned off for a substantial part of the day will increase battery life between charges.
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
For completely non-technical users, JD is the way to go. However, with just a teeny more effort you can do WAY more than JD is capable of doing. Stock firmware with JD I could get up to about 14 hours of battery life. This is doing a bunch of texts, reading gmail, and getting Exchange mail via touchdown. With Bionix Fusion, J12 modem, not using JD, and keeping the phone in 2G and not 3G I can get significant battery life as the image below shows.

At the time this shot was taken, I was down to 15% battery and 4 hours according to Juice Plotter.
[Vibrant General] flipper2006:
I been using with the Bionix 'core' kernal and it's giving me decent battery as opposed to no defender where battery life was not good at all. seems to work as advertised, i charged my phone 4 hours ago and it's at 100% (but didn't use for any calls yet) . Otherwise it would be at 92% or so without JD. Mileage will vary
[Vibrant General] floepie:
Well, I think people are ascribing too much mysticism into what JD is really doing. With its default installation left intact, it simply shuts your 3G (APN) radio off when the phone becomes relocked (screen off), just as your wifi connection shuts down when the screen turns off. While the phone is locked, JD turns the 3G radio back on for a minute once every 15 minutes. That's it. There's really no magic. So, if you think having your 3G radio turned off automatically every time you shut the screen off sounds like it might save your battery, then it probably will.
[Vibrant General] hluk:
i saw in the tasker wiki there are two profiles... from those two profiles, it seems like to "recode" jd with tasker might be a hard task for a tasker newbie like me...

any suggestions or hints to enhance the wiki profiles?
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Use super power instead its better I used juice defender until I found that app...you need.root
[Vibrant General] neobuddy89:
Juice defender ultimate rocks.

Cpu settings - conservative

Wifi setting - auto off after no network found

Auto manage data.

Sync between 2am and 6am.

and other settings.
[Vibrant General] hluk:
Will try it. Its from xda too!
[Vibrant General] Nabeel10:
For superpower, do we have to configure stuff on hour own to let it save battery? Or is it like JD where you can enable and it does its thing?
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
You do it on your own, but it's super easy, if you need help, just write here, I'll help you. It's literally super easy though.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Like jd just enable it in the options
[Vibrant General] Nabeel10:
Yea if you could tell me the best options for battery life that'll be helpful!
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Make your own settings. Its best to customize it yourself! I'm not sure what you use (ie. Bluetooth,wi fi, or gps).
[Vibrant General] daniturn3:
I use JD and not noticed alot and an app that should be used is superdim to dim your screen backlight even more than settings let you and also found i had few apps that are using more power than my screen so its all about apps installed and way there all configured so Milage may vary by hours between phones so unless your phone is set up exact same way as another device thats the same dont expect all to be 1 day battery + is battery life really all that confusing :confused:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1candydick:
I think I am...how would one confirm?... appreciate your help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
if you have the android sdk set up use "adb remount". It should say something like partition remounted successfully. If you see that then all of your read only directories will be reset to read/write. Afterwards just reboot your phone and it will set everything back to normal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1candydick:
thank you.....i tried that command and received this error:

remount failed: Operation not permitted

does this mean that I'm not fully rooted? what next?

appreciate your help xHausx ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
could be, do you have the superuser app in your app drawer? a few more things you can try is typing:

adb shell {enter}

mount system {enter}

at this point you will see either a $ or # sign, the # sign means you have root. If you see the $ type:

su {enter}

if that doesn't change it to a # then try typing

sh0 {enter}

su {enter}

if that still doesn't work then you need to use an exploit to get root. However, if it does work and you see # then type:

mount -t yaffs2 -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system {enter}
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
You can put these on your SD card too, you just have to put it in /media/audio/alarms (you can also use "notifications" or "ringtones" instead for those).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghettonine:
Bougth this on May 2010 in the Philippines. Been to the US and upgraded by Desire to Official Froyo (OTA) and works fine after a few days. But now, every 5-10 minutes of extensive use, the phone restarts and hangs up during boot.. Need to remove the battery, and let it cool down for a few moments before it can restart correctly. Sometimes there are black outs too. this all happened after 2.2 update. Never been rooted.

Any idea how to fix this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Why make it your problem? If its all stock send it to HTC to repair for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmac1984:
Hey everyone,

First off i wanted to show my appreciation to the Dev's on this site for all your hard work, The minute I seen the HD2 I had to have it, But out of the box i was kinda let down with its UI and OS limitations, So i checked around and found this site and I've been making my phone more custom to my needs everyday, without these tweaks and mods, The phone would have most likely been returned within days. But now I'm hooked. And I'm def looking forward to seeing a 100% stable android rom so i dont have to use WMO anymore, and I know its just a matter of time. So again thanks a lot for your hard work!

With that being said, I'm relativly new to WMO and this whole customization process, I've gotten this far because of the tutorials on the site and just reading a lot, but theres still some i dont understand, But I'll ask those questions when the time comes in a whole new thread.

*NOTE: I'M ON TMOUS. ROM IS STOCK 3.14.*

The question I have is:

I just installed a cab (longpress reset) so that when i hold the endkey (red button on the far right bottom of the HD2) for a few seconds it soft resets my phone, which is awesome because my phone likes to lock up a lot and I really hate having to pull it apart and reseting it by pulling the battery or find a paper clip or something to push the reset button.

But even tho I have yet to actually turn my phone off, I feel like im going to miss the option (I no longer get the stock action screen with the turn-off phone option since i installed the said cab above.) And at this point, unless I'm missing something, I have no way to turn my phone off now.

I was looking for a - POWER OFF TOGGLE SWITCH/BUTTON - like the toggle switches that came with CHTeditor. Just a button I can place right on my home screen in my quicklinks that if i need to I can just click to power off my phone. Is there currently anything like this available? I've been looking for hours and cant find anything like it.

If not, is this something someone can put together, I would be greatly appreciative and would be happy to donate anything I could.

Thanks.

Dan

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmac1984:
Hey, thanks, I installed this and nothing happened ... what should it look like?

Oh trust me, I dabbled with it the other day, as soon as its out of beta i'll install it. CHT is incredible.

Thanks, But I no longer have the option to select anything when i hold my endkey, which is what i want, so when the phone freezes i can just simply restart it without taking it apart, so i'm just looking for a button (which as soon as cht 2.0 is out of beta, I guess i'll have) that i can put on my home screen for the time being, that just incase i need to i can just power off my phone with the hit of a single button.

It might be on there, but im just seeing the endkey menu thing like the one that came stock on my htc hd2.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies and help!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rishikesh:
I wanted to know how to check the RAM on the G2. I recently spoke to a rep from t mobile regarding the 4gb ROM issue and i was told the about 2gb is used by the android system and around 400 mb is resevered for the OTA updates and so user accessible is about 1.5gb ( this apparently read from the manual they have).

So i was wondering how to check the RAM. When i use advanced task killer, after killing all the apps i get like 190 mb of free memory.

Edit : Downloaded a couple of apps from the market and they report the total RAM to be 371 mb....am i missing something?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
As far as what the OS is seeing as free, that's simply Settings -> SD card & phone storage; listed at the bottom-most item. I don't have much knowledge on the topic, but I believe there is no simple way to check total RAM. There's a thread floating around here of someone that pulled apart the phone and checked the model numbers for the RAM; it was identified to be a 4GB chip.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gormander:
I have seen many threads with people saying that kies does not recognize their phone or what not. I had the same problem and I played around with it and figured out my situation and why it was not working. Maybe you are in the same boat as I was so I hope this helps. I had installed the Launcher Pro app (since I didnt like TouchWiz) and used Home Switcher app to change and set Launcher Pro as my default UI.

I installed both the drivers and kies software from the Samsung website for my phone:

www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT

At first, it was not working even when I changed my USB settings to "Samsung Kies". Settings --> Applications --> USB Settings --> Samsung Kies.

I found out that it was because of Launcher Pro....Kies did not like because your phone must not have any apps running when the phone is plugged into the USB port with Samsung Kies as the USB setting and should be in some "idle" state. So....I set "Samsung Kies" as my USB Settings, I used Home Switcher to set TouchWiz as my default UI, made sure I was at the TouchWiz home screen, plugged in the USB cable into my phone and computer...voila....my phone went into "Samsung Kies" mode (on my screen, it shows MTP Application on the title bar and shows a USB cable with the words "connected" below it). From there, Samsung Kies recognized my phone and I was able to access my contacts, messages, calendar, etc from Samsung Kies.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: Also, whenever I try to plug it in with an app running, i get the error message "PC connection only available only in idle screen. Close running applications". This is what prompted me to think about switching back to TouchWiz home screen at first. Maybe the people who are having trouble with Kies need to close their apps as well.

I updated the vibrant to JI6 and am still hardware locked. I read that JI6 should fix this. Am I using the correct procedure to boot to recovery mode?

1. turn phone off

2. press volume up & down & power

3. Wait for it to show the white screen

4. Wait for it to go dark and show it the second time

5. Release the power

6. Recovery Mode?

Would that be correct?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jade.N:
It seems this is a constant problem with HTC Sense build Roms.

SMS numbers show up well(cause the number from the messaging center comes with the country code), but when someone calls, the phone doesn't match the number in the phonebook.

I have stored all my numbers as +xxx yyyyyyy or +xxx yyyyyyyy where the x is the country code and y is the number with the area code.

I found out that the builds check the first 8 numbers from right to left. What I need, is to modify the caller ID match to check the first 7 and not 8.

This problem doesn't seem to exist with the Nexus one rom, and the phone matches almost all numbers in both SMS and calls.

It's weird how there is no real answer about this anywhere...

found on other forums also that Caller ID failure on Android phones is caused by the fact that US and some other countries use 8 digit caller Id match. At the same time Baltic countries and some other only use 7 digit Caller ID match. Therefore even when numbers are saved with country code (+372 in case of Estonia) does not do the trick. Android phone code should be edited to change Min_Match from 8 to 7 but now I need to find some good software for it. Any good suggestions?
