[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcskibadee1:
I'm pretty new here but have been doing alot of research here. I would go into settings, battery and see if your phone has been searching for a signal. Mine is at 0% and i get great battery life but iknow this has been a big drain on the battery if your phone is spending a lot of time searching for a signal .

You don't need it with an evo, but I did find that 2.1 didn't do a glorious job of freeing up memory with my RAM-less Samsung Moment. In that case, I needed to kill stuff that didn't always come back or as frequently. With the EVO, I've seen no reason so far to have it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
I run ATK, SystemPanel, and occasionally EStrong Task Manager.

Not to kill but because I like to see whats running.

People jump to conclusions the second you mention Task Killer. (*Points up*)

I honestly get better battery life with task killers because an app that's consuming cpu won't get killed by android because i have 260mb free memory, I can kill it manually.

Anyways, Could try tweaking the built in task manager with this:

I use twitter and would like to know, should I use a twitter app(example: tweetcaster) and let it auto retrieve updates, or just use twitter sms? Which one uses up more battery?

The wifi on my phone keeps dropping when it is idle. I have set sleep wifi to NEVER and I have tried different ROMs. Has anyone faced this or know how to fix this ?

Maybe a kernel problem?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xdroid:
Thanks guys. It was on mixed mode (B/G) running tomato, just changed to G ; will see if that helps. I doubt it is the kernel, I have tried stock, KK and Zigg's. Strangely, it doesn't happen always. Sometimes it goes several hours, (including overnight), but other times, it keeps falling every hour.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xdroid:
Just in case someone else runs into this issue.

I had tomato firmware flashed on my Linksys WRT54GL. I replaced it with factory firmware, and the problem has gone away.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] past_pluto:
Mine will start dropping whenever a cordless phone or another router nearby is on the same channel. After I switch channels in the router it goes away.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D!T:
I have DD-WRT on mine, but the issue doesn't seem to be router-related. I suddenly stopped getting dropped wifi. The ONLY changes since this improved situation are app changes:

-updated amazon MP3

-updated Google Buzz Widget

-updated Signal Generator

-updated eBay

-updated Google Shopper

-updated Funny Jokes

-updated Google Maps

-updated Market Enabler, and deleted old Market enabler

I highly suspect either Market Enabler or Amazon was messing things up for me, since the others have been updated before without any changes.

If anyone else can give this a go, it might help some people.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameztcc:
Hi,

is there a way to disable USB charging when connected?

Wish to just connect to perform debugging e.g. logcat, dmesg etc during testing of Nexus One (e.g. kernels battery life etc).

thanks,

James Tan
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, no way that I know of.

You can use ADB over WiFi, though, or run SSH shell over WiFi.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
There are some apps on Android Market which may help you:

SwiFTP: to manage files on SD card

adbWireless: to let you adb to your phone through wifi

QuickSSHd: enables a SSH daemon so you can SSH to your phone through wifi

PAW server: it's a HTTP server and it has ability to retrieve logcat and give to you in web page.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
What reason do you not want it charging while you have it plugged in?

As far as i know, there are no negative effects on Li-ion batteries from short charge periods, in fact it is better for the battery if you keep it on the charged side rather than run it down often.

[myTouch 4G General] n1kki6:
I've seen a couple of these posts for other phones, but I am having trouble getting the phonebook to work with bluetooth devices, specifically my car. I had a mytouch 3g that worked, but was rooted, and an iphone3g that works. This phone has been fantastic but I am wondering if there is a work around for this? It seems some sense users have also had this issue. I can use the genius button in the car but the phonebook would still be nice.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phasE89:
Hi guys,

I have HTC Desire for only a day, but I spent most of that time searching how on earth I can attach a image/photo to a contact in my contact list.

When I take a photo of my friend, I go to photographs, select the photo, press the menu button "set as... contact photo", but then appears only blank searching screen and that is why I could not search anyone. How is that possible?

I have a few dozens, maybe hundrends of contact on my SIM card, but none of them is saved directly in Desire. Is that a problem? If so, how can I move all my contacts from SIM to phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Yes, in order to attach a photo to a contact it must be on the phone(or google contact).

You can import your contacts from SIM by opening the dialer, press menu, choose "people", press menu again and choose "import/export", then select "import from sim card". Now you can export them into a phone or google account, both have option for pictures, but there is a blur bug with the google accounts when they're synchronized, i.e. it's better to choose "phone". Finally when the list comes up, you can press menu again to "select all"

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteef:
Has anyone been having issues with certain applications accessing the SD card since the perma-root?

- I couldn't restore my home screens from Launcher-pro due to an SD card error.

- In the stock messaging app the phone comes with, when I try to attach an audio clip I recorded myself, it says "unable to access SD card"

kinda off topic, but I also can't seem to get quadrant to go past 11/12 on the CPU part of the benchmark. It freezes.

Any input would be gladly appreciated.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setzer715:
ADB is a tool that needs to be ran from CMD Prompt. Just a quick example to make sure your seeing your phone and assuming you have already extracted the SDK package. FYI, I moved the tools folder into the sdk folder, makes it easier to access. I would open cmd promt and type:

Note: Hit enter at the end of each line.

cd \

cd sdk/tools

adb devices (this will start deamon and then show you your device if ADB drivers are installed.

To install the drivers plug your phone in and let it auto mount your sdcard then run HTCDriver.exe. Unplug your phone and plug it back in, it should now install the driver needed for ADB. To verify everything is installed right go to your Devices and look for Android USB Devices and under that should be My HTC.

and excited for it buh nothing happend after

til someone gets a hold on it on ebay and

buy the back cover only thats what im gonna

do unless i find it somewhere else

I have a white Fascinate and my co-worker has the black. It is not just the battery cover that is white, it is also the piece around the phone above the chrome.

Same here. The volume rocker, power button and micro usb port cover are also pigmented white. With out those particular parts being white, I think a white cover on a black phone would look rediculous.

also check out http://www.decalgirl.com/item.view/53217, available in a matte finish. I don't know what their template for the back actually looks like and if it's a seamless application (without cutouts to address the corners) but you can get a matching front as well.

Mass produce please

Would someone please just start mass producing back covers in different colors and materials for this device.

Hey I got my decal girl skin yesterday and LOVE it. It fits perfectly on front of phone and the back piece is a solid piece without slits. The entire side around the whole phone is not covered but it gives good contrast. Exactly the look I was looking for.

I have a nice case (platinum from best buy) but between the case and the clip, there is no point for me to skin the phone or buy a white case.

I'm curious what you will do once you skin it? will you just use a slip case?

If i had get another case to have the white color, i'd do this one.

I second this, myself owning this exact case. It is available through Amazon and ebay also, Amazon sells for a lower price, but with shipping considered ebay is cheaper. The white back is like some sort of polyester, mine has a few wrinkles at the edges, but it feels great to the touch. The case fits the phone snugly and the kick-stand is great too, solid feeling and adjustable in angle.
