[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sschrupp:
(this isn't about battery calibration, botched ROM updates, etc.)

My wife liked my Captivate so we got her one too. The first thing I did was put Cognition 4.0 on it. The next day she told me she loves it except that it keeps turning off on her.

Doh! Ok, so I try reflashing using the newer Cog 4.1. Same deal.

I try the Captivate Keep Alive. That seemed to work but her battery was draining much faster.

So my next step I wanted to do was do a complete battery cycle and try an older Cognition (or maybe now that he ditched 4.x do his latest). But since she's always on the thing that makes it difficult.

My bright idea was, "Wait I know! I'll just switch the SIM cards so you can use my Captivate which doesn't have the random shut-off problem and then I can play with yours today at work!"

Well, I switched the SIMs, and there's no more Market app on either of the phones now. It just vanished. I tried factory reset. I tried recovery from Cog's power menu, cleared cache, etc. No market app. I switched the SIMs back again, but still no market. Made sure the Google accounts were set up and everything. Doh!

So now I'm going to reflash the ROMs since I'm sure that'll fix it, but I guess I'm just confused as to why the Market app would dissapear like that.

Can anyone explain why that happened when I switched the SIM cards out?

Hi I'm with Fido using an AT&T N1. My battery doesn't last me a full day. I thought maybe it was a defective battery, so I ordered a new one. This didn't solve my issue. I still have to charge it early in the afternoon and It's not like I'm watching video's it's just sitting there on my desk.

Anybody having the same problems or has a solution?

Thanks

Check what's using your battery, and act accordingly.

Are you on the wifis when it is at your desk? If not, how many bars of reception are you getting?

Root, undervolted kernel, more efficient roms, sync settings, apn control, brightness settings, battery calibration.

Welcome to android :)

Were all searching for ways to make our phones last longer/dynamic/faster.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adri_ment:
It says 67% of use is display, I set it to shut off after 30 seconds.

The wifi and BT are off.

Another thing I find weird. I have the dock. Every time i remove it from the dock and have to draw the password pattern, it's like the screen calibration is messed up. I have to close the screen and open it to get it working properly. This also makes it impossible to answer the phone when it rings while it's docked. I remove the phone and the slide to answer doesn't work as if it's not calibrated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Check that your CPU isn't running at 100% frequency because of some rogue app.

Check that your phone has at least a couple of bars reception.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
My N1 on AT&T runs 4.5%/hr usage when I'm not actively using it, around 6% if I'm doing typical stuff with it (reading email, web, etc).

It's on 3G, rarely use wifi (it's off), GPS is on, Bluetooth is on, K9 Mail is doing Push IMAP, Beautiful Weather is updating, misc other stuff is likely updating. Tasker is running doing lots of stuff, one of them is grabbing my GPS location and uploading it to my website every 10 minutes.

No IM, Facebook, or Twitter automatically running/updating.

I don't obsess over the screen brightness, generally leave it at Auto except when doing navigation in the car (It's never bright enough during the day) and I tend to pick dark themes but that's mainly because I don't like dark-on-white themes period on my phone.

Does your phone feel hot? I notice sometimes that I'll be walking around and my phone is like burning a hole in my pocket, not literally but very hot. I noticed that when I installed wildmonks kernel and SetCPU that my battery increased TONS.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbear:
Some general things to check:

Auto email push

Cell stand by (look at reception)

Widgets auto refreshing

CPU frequency

I make sure all of the above is working properly, and my battery lasts for 2 days with light-medium usage
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
Sort of related question.... occasionally, I'll have "android system" just chew through my battery....if I let it just run for a few days, or if I clear the dalvik cache, it seems to fix itself, but I'm really clueless as to what is causing this....any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Don't know, but when it happens - it means the same thing I've mentioned multiple times in multiple different threads, some apps can cause the kernel to run in loop of some sorts - running at 100% CPU speed and eating the battery very quickly. Reboot sorts it out until it happens next time. Finding and uninstalling the rogue app sorts the issue, but it's a bit pain. Task killers don't help even a tiny bit, since they can't restart system service, and it's not the app that's running the loop.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
Actually, for me, only clearing dalvik cache sorted it out. I had my battery die, swapped in a spare, and that one died within an hour or two....soooo yeah, reboot def did not fix the problem! xD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:

He probably bricked it and couldn't figure out how to fix it and sold it to you. Or it was broken when he got it.

To try to get it into Download mode

1) Take out the battery and put it back in again after about 10 seconds (to give it time to empty all power in the phone)

2) Plug the USB cable into the computer (you need to get one if he didn't give it to you)

3) Hold down the Volume buttons

4) Plug in the USB cable into the phone

Your phone will start the download mode unless it is Hardware locked.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danman421:
Hello, I havent posted much here but I have been a long time reader. I am running CM6 on my EVO and have been for a few months now. I normally do not care about 4G but I am going to Chicago this weekend and want to be able to use it so here is my dilemma. I want to flash a new ROM but save everything (I can use NAND normally but this re-flashes my ROM too obviously) but I want to save everything (emails, texts, screens, apps; everything) but use it all on a new ROM. I have a feeling there is a way to do this I just dont know how. Could someone please point me in the right directions? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You can use Titanium for your apps and texts and home screen settings. You will have to use the same launcher when you flash the new ROM in order to backup the homescreen settings. You are going from AOSP to sense so you need to really limit the system data that you backup/restore to prevent problems from arising.

Personally, I would just do a nandroid before you go, then flash the new ROM and only the stuff you need to get you through your trip and then restore your nandroid when you get home.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeckNoTechnO:
Titanium Backup Pro, Backup all apps and data. Make a update zip flash your new ROM, then reboot into recovery and flash update zip, then run Titanium backup and do a restore, then reboot phone and you should be good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
there is a way to do it but you may run in to problems with the new rom you flash. By not wiping the data before a flash just wiping cache and dalvik you can keep all of that but flashing another rom over an old one without wiping can cause problems like broken apps and fc's at random times for no reason especially sense. If you want to keep your contacts export them to your sd card messeges i'm not sure but apps you can save with titanium back up just not the data for the apps (it tends to lock up the phone). You can try it out and see how well it goes for you but i wouldn't suggest it, then again there have been some people who do this and have nothing wrong its 50/50 all up to you if its worth the risk just make sure you nand backup before you do anything
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Pro:
Good afternoon.

I have a question about default mail client in Desire: how can I mark all messages as read? For now I see the only one method: mark one message by another. But I have 3000 mails there, my entire life won't be enough for it.

Maybe somebody knows how to mark them all as read at once? Or at least how to select them all? Then I could use Mark as read on selection...

Thanks in advance.

Specificatoins

cldwar, the Chinese tablet MIDs have dozen of different versions you need to be more specific.

lease give some additional details, like what is written in Settings->about phone.

And maybe post some pictures.

Usually Chinese do not support their products after production and dont give updates, but there are few exceptions.

Look here, if you are lucky you got some sort of Hiapad or Eken:

[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
There appear to be a number of folk here who feel that WP7 is a step backward from WM6.5 in terms of feature set, customisability, hackability etc. What then would people propose as an alternative once WM6.5 is finally dead and buried, Android? Iphone? Symbian/ Maemo? or will you give WP7 a chance?
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So much fight here about it.....

Well I'm still not decided.

But I know I want to give WP7 a go.

Looks great and I would be happy to have clean, unified UI.

Limitations which are apparent on WP7 make it unusable at this point.

Android is the most complete but I just really don't like it's interface...

Probably staying with 6.5 for some time....
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
i personally cant be bothered to hack my my phone and look for custom ROM to flash. surely people only do this if they are not happy with their phone.if you dont like the OS. dont get it. its the reason why im not getting android, or an iphone. all phones have great features missing from them. and wp7 is only in its first phase improvement like copy and paste will come. ive only got 1 complaint, and that is that i cannot use it as a flash drive :( but then again, if i did that, would it slow down to a crawl??? wp7 is dead easy, i dont have time to muck around like i used to with wm6.5 on my touch diamond 2. i want it all, and i want it all now. so im sticking with wp7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zard:
Same thoughts here. Was cooking my own 6.5roms to get a slim and working OS but sinceI got my HD7, I've stop cooking totally because WP7 is very fast and stable for me. Sure there are areas I'm not happy with, but at least, I have more time to live my life now since I stopped cooking roms.

I'm not here to convince anyone to go WP7, each OS has it's pros and cons, and each of us are completely different and see things and have different needs, so we go for different phones, something that works for us.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
LOL , you just made a lot of people angry by stopping with cooking rom's :D .
[Windows Phone 7 General] charm1718:
I think I will stick with wm 6.5 for awhile. I use it as a Mass storage device & tether with it often. I also am really used to using smart dialing which I can't understand why it wasn't added to WP7. I'll wait to a few months after WP7 lands on Sprint to see what the updates have brought & what hackers have opened. If more functionality is available on WP7 I'll get it, if not I'll go with Android when I want to upgrade because of hardware
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
shouldn't this be in the winmo section???:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I'm going to wait for the 2nd generation of WP7 phones and OS (or at least an OS update or two). I was ready to get a focus, then I realized I'd be losing some features I enjoy on my TP2 (multitasking, tethering, call manager) just to gain a newer OS.

I also want premium hardware and design which the first generation doesn't seem to offer. DVP comes close though.

[Windows Phone 7 General] ErOR22:
One thing is sure for me, I will not be joinging the iPhone family.

Possibly Maemo or Androd. Depends what kiind of devices will be out by then.

W7 only if there has been lots of needed updates and/or hacks/roms and such.

Life after WM6.5 to which he refers is precisely WP7. then the correct section!

A little off-topic, but correct!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lee-bowman:
I found that I was having to flash new ROMs etc to my 6.5 because the UI and features available to a standard WinMo was rubbish. I never liked the 6.5 OS much, I just liked the ability to customise and look deeper into the phone

I am now on WP7 and would never look back on 6.5.
[Windows Phone 7 General] crazyC:
At the moment I don't see I have much choice - Android here I come I think.

The gains in slick simple UI are insufficient in my case to outweigh the loss of functionality vs 6.5.

Many of the other advantages (gaming for example) are of no interest to me on my phone (I am not the target market).

I will stick with 6.5 until at least Phone Alarm is released for Android, then it will become viable for me. Hopefully this will be early 2011.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
:lol: My premium phone standards were set by my SE X1, not the TP2. I would really love to see a WP7 version of the X1. Hopefully the X7 will deliver. But knowing SE, it won't be released until next November.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Ditto. X1 was excellent.

Currently on X2 which is actually better in many regards.

Anyway, I just hope SE will make it around Feb/March.

So it will catch upgrades which are for me necessary.

And until core apps I use on WM 6.5 will be functional/supported

I can just wait for some time....
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
I find it hard to believe anyone speaks of the death of WinMo in the present tense. It died for me like 2 1/2 years ago and since then the iPhone has taken over the smartphone market, Android has taken over the spot WM6.5 used to occupy and Microsoft has done practically nothing until very recently. I bought a Focus and I like it, it's a magnitude nicer and easier to use than my old Fuze with WM6.5 and while it's lacking a lot of the functionality, that will come with time and, in the meantime, I don't need to take out my reading glasses and itty bitty cramp inducing stylus to use it. The Fuze is still sitting on my desk, unused, with a noticable layer of dust on it. And there it will sit until I finally tire of looking at it and throw it away. And good riddance!
[Windows Phone 7 General] dbsltmch:
I cannot speak for anyone but for me, I have been windows mobile user ever since palm treo with windows on it. Before making switch to WP7, my device was Tilt2 and I tweaked the crap out of it putting custom roms and radio to fit my taste. Although having the capability was great but my user experience was not all that great. Something was always wrong and the hardware and software wasn't working correctly, so I was constantly tweaking and tell you the truth I got tired.

I was ready to jump ship to Android with Samsung Captivate but as soon as the WP7 was arriving I decided to wait. Boy I am glad that I did, I am happy with my samsung focus. Although it's missing some functions now but I am sure it's on it's way, the stability and the fact that it just works and I do not have to tweak anything makes my life a lot easier. Could not be more happy with OS. At least so far.

My wife has iphone and looked at android and both are not really appealing to me. Android is not all that great even if with all the customization and tweaking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] crazyC:
Who knows - my next upgrade (february) will come far too early for WP7, but maybe another 18 months on it may have matured to have the functionality my old (and apparently obsolete) TP2 offers. In which case I may well try it.

I see that already some of the limitations are being overcome (file system access etc). I just think that as everyone keeps saying "that feature and this feature will come in time", and it will, but I reckon I will get another upgrade in before that stage is fully here, and thus avoid giving up the functionality at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
Thats pretty much how Im feeling......

My upgrade is due in may and unless tmobile get a better WP7 handset in their line up before then I couldnt consider it as an option, after seeing what happened to the two samsung handsets my fiance previously had I could never trust the build quality of one of their devices......

I think I'll probably end up on android but after running it for a few months on my HD2 Im pretty bored of it already.

6.5 however continues to delight me more and more everyday......

Except from its obv. lack of apps......
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
I was a huge "stick with 6.5" person just a week ago...then I won an auction for an LG Panther and have been using WP7 for the whole week. I have some bad news.........I can't go back to 6.5.

Trust me, I really miss multi-tasking, copy & paste and beejiveIM, but the OS is so damn smooth and flashy that I admit, I've been blinded; but I've also gained the Zune HD + games that I've always wanted.

I stand here as a true 6.5 -> 7 convert.

the GPS was working as it has to be, it catches 12 satellites and locked on 10 so that was perfect.

now i have flashed the official froyo from samsung arabia which supports arabic language, my problem is that the gps can't see more than 2 satellites and never locks to any 1...

is this a common problem, is there a fix for this?
