[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarterF:
Ah thanks for correcting my mistake, and answering my questions. My battery life isn't terrible per se, but I guess I was asking more on how I could make it better (and if I had a rogue app/other battery eater), especially because I see people claiming anywhere from 20-40 hours with a few tweaks.

And regarding the bluetooth issue, it just won't turn on. The option grays out for a few seconds like it usually does when it's initializing, and then it doesn't turn on. The notification widget method does not work either.

Also, there's no other way to turn off auto-sync? I just think it would be a hassle having to turn background data back on everytime I want to use the market. I use JuiceDefender, too, could there possibly be a conflict between the app and my phone's settings?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klk450:
Man i'm with you here, I use CM6.1 too and love it but the first 30 minutes i unplug the phone from charging i'm already at like 90% battery =/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelvibe:
I had the same problem with my Bluetooth recently. When I try to search for devices the phone locks up and I have to pull the battery. Wonder if this is a kernel issue. I am on snap
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarterF:
Yep, I'm on Snap too; must be it.

Another thing; I've got a friend on Stock 2.2 Sense (battery sucking widgets filling the home screen, etc) with 100% brightness and mobile data constantly on and he gets better battery life than me (20+ hours!) What is going on!?!?!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klk450:
never heard of such a thing on stock......
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarterF:
I couldn't believe it either, he had 3G on all day and everything and we barely get any signal at all in class. On for almost 8hrs with more than 70% left. I was at about 53%

I just switched over from WM, because of the battery life i don't like to leaving date on. When i would click for anything that required data it would automatically turn on Ex. Internet, Shazam... is there any setting, widget, or app that can do that with android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Try Juice Defender, it will save your battery in alot of ways, including automatically turning off your data when you arent using it, in fact you might want to get the pay version of it if you like the way the free version helps your battery. Remember, you buy pay apps, they can be used from build to build, so buy it once, u get it for every build u run. Well worth it imo
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
+1 for Juice Defender.

Also, Tasker is an amazing app that allows you to create your own automator actions. So you can create an action that turns on data when you launch certain apps and turn it off when you exit. Its really powerful and does so much more than I can even describe here, you really have to just try it. It is a paid app, but well worth it. It takes some practice/learning, but sounds like it's exactly what you're looking for.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vnb28:
Thanks a lot guys, for now I'm gonna try the juiceydefender ACDSee how that works
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebigp:
So I've been searching for hours on how to reinstall system apps and in particular the HTC Albums app. I've got the apk and odex file in system/app, and I try installing the apk. I keep getting "Application not installed." I've tried setting different permissions, restarting the phone, and it still doesn't work.

I accidently deleted HTC Albums, and now I get a FC everytime I do anything related to HTC Albums.

I've tried thinking of everything, even trying to completely reformat the phone back to the stock 2.2 HTC update, but can't seem to get past my newbie-ness.

Any help would be awesome, and hopefully this post and it's response can help another newbie in the future.

Thanks

Hi, just wondering if it is possible to extract a widget from a rom (2.1 motoblur rom) and install it on a different rom (cyanogen). I actually wanted to try the notes widget on my phone. Any advice is appreciated.

[HTC Aria General] Ishtastic:
After using the built in psfreedom to hack my PS3 I forgot to remove it from the USB of my PS3 and reboot the phone. So the screen stayed on the psfMod recovery screen all night. And when I try to plug it in to my wall charger its LED light lights up but it doesnt charge. I've left it charging for a good 2 hours but all it does it reboot over and over again to the recovery menu.

Is there a way to get my phone to boot up again?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastludeh22:
When u boot into bootloader via vol doen+power if you don't see recovery, select bootloader, then the recovery option from there. Use power button to select while in bootloader, use track pad to select in cwm recovery.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrahamHill:
Im looking at going from an alltel htc touch pro to a Droid Incredible.

It's my understanding, from the sales person, that

#1 I can't keep my old school alltel phone plan that was grandfathered in with the merger

#2 Id have to get a few things differently with my Verizon plan.

Here's a couple things that came up.... Under my alltel plan I was paying $30 for unlimited data, whether straight through the phone or tethered, or broadcasting wifi through an installed cab.

But now im going to have to pay at least one or maybe 2 monthly charges to tether, and my usage is metered and limited to a certian amount of transfer?

Here's the nuts and bolts of the old alltel plan on the touch pro. About 100/mo with 30 of that being the data plan with no limit on useage. Mycircle.. unlimited text, 500 anytime, free mobile to mobile

So what should I expect from "Verizon" if I try to buy a Droid Inc..?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserII101:
Simple way to avoid tethering fees. Root your incredible, and install wireless tether. Verizon can't detect you're tethering or if they can, they don't whine about it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrahamHill:
Thanks!

I always wanted to try that before but instead paid the 30/mo instead. Fear I guess.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I pay $103 a month, 450 minutes and unlimited everything else, so your cost will be about the same.

When you get the incredible, root it, and install the application wireless tether as said. It is the same thing as the mobile hotspot, you just won't get charged by Verizon for using it to tether.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jager420:
you can also use PdaNet or EasyTether is you want to to tether via USB..

I pay $45 a month for unlimited EVERYTHING at Cricket. Just buy a Dinc somewhere, and use the ROM here at XDA.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrahamHill:
Well I pulled the trigger this afternoon and got the Inc.

I kept my old plan.

As she was ringing it up she said a notification popped up that said I would lose my 7pm-7am free calling. Shortly after she was able to add it back on the plan like it always was.

I was surprised with a $50-off during the check-out too! .. and without warning.

It was going to be 249.99+ 100 mail-in rebate+ tax. Ended up being 213 out the door, so I will only end up with 113 in the phone.

It keeps asking to install a system update. Do I keep selecting no and go ahead and root?

Ive got a problem

Android cannot load anymore... damn it

My battery went dead 2 days ago, I started charging and wanted to load android, but it couldnt. It loads all files, goes to 'bios' screen and then to the screen with Android logo, but when it is just about to load, it goes back to 'bios' screen and there is no way to load the system.

Did it happen to anybody? I was actually supposed to change my Android version so I dont mind formating my card, but I have few numbers, pics and texts that I need to retrive, is there any folder/file where they are located??

Thanks
[General Topics] noobile:
Look guys if your phone can be fixed it is not bricked. One can not fix a brick. Just because you have had negative results, does not always mean you are bricked. If we continue to take this word so lightly it will lose its meaning. Then we will have to come up with other witty way to describe the death of our phones. Anyway think about it.
[General Topics] DiGi760:
Exactly. It is bricked when its functionality is permanently reduced to that of a brick.

I bricked my phone yesterday. Wouldn't boot into recovery or download mode. Or normal mode for that matter. I am working on getting a replacement, now. I have reflashed a couple of supposedly "bricked" phones, but as long as it will boot to download mode, it usually isn't very tough to flash back to stock.
[General Topics] noobile:
"It might be bricked but I"m not sure." Maybe, we just need a witty term that defines that! Any ideas?
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
You mean "semi-bricked"? :P I think that alone is good enough for "it's screwed up but it might be fixable".

Also i understand there are differant types of cards as well as classes, so wich one would you guys recomend?

I've been interested in starting a project like this since I read the specifications of the MT6236 chip, and now I'm starting this thread with hope that this will turn into a real project of running Android on MT6236-based phones.

For those of you that don't know MT6236 is one of the chips mostly implemented in chinese mobile phone knockoffs. However, the chips specification look like it could run Android.

It has a ARM9 @312MHz processor which is AFAIK the most generic thing I could write but it also sounds possible to run Android.

you must have a ROM that supports apps2sd. You of course would know this if you took the time to read everything about what you are trying to do.

yea bc you have to flash changes to the framework or use a metamorph style file. find a theme flash or metamorph. dump it. delete all the files except the frame work. now in the framework open the res folder then delete all the other folder except drawable-hdpi. now input ONLY the batt images you want with the correct file names. re compile and flash or meta apply

[Droid Incredible General] dadsterflip:
That's just wrong. I wont even get update on a new phone for a while. Oh well.
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
It's not...wrong. 4G requires a new piece of radio hardware to be installed in the phone...besides the fact that Verizon hasn't even lit up the country with LTE yet, let alone 7 months ago when the phone first game out.
[Droid Incredible General] pete_kowalski83:
how is that wrong? you bought a 3g phone not a lte ready phone, I won't be succumbing to any 4g phones til I'm guaranteed to have the service in my area...plus it's not even on yet for us so why would it

Its not wrong. Just wanted to see how many people would cry.

[Droid Incredible General] jager420:
lol really?..
[Droid Incredible General] Hanneman101101:
Everybody says it is impossible. I say it is but won't happen. "LTE" is not 4G. It is 3.5G, just like sprint does not have 4G, They have 3.5G. If they had true 4G. We would be looking at speeds as fast as out home internet now. LTE runs on a 700mhz band if I am correct. The Radio in both the EVO and Dinc are a qualcomm radio. Which by verizon is set to receive signal at 800mhz and 1900mhz. There is no reason why they can not send out a radio and antenna update to make it also run at 700mhz too. But that is my two cents. this is always what I have thought.
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I would like for this to be true.

Can this be true? Please?

[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
LTE is actually different from 4G... Look into it and you will see Verizon is claiming that LTE will run at least 3x faster than 4G. Whether they can back up those claims has yet to be seen.

LTE Testing and "G" question

Ok for the 1st thing about radios and software or hardware, as an RF engineer I can say that if the stripline rf sections are capeable of being tuned far enough to run the 700MHZ band, and I will confirm that VZW LTE is in that band as we are running it now, the protocols are different so I do not beleive the chipset will be flashable to run it. They may have indeed looked forward enough to make it so but I have no specific knowledge of it, except that VZW is going to release an LTE version that is in the EVO case but with LTE instead of WI-MAX, good news because front cam and everything. A history lession though is that I have an old HTC PPC5050 in my collection that was an evaluation unit for Sprint back before the 6600 came out and was never accepted and released. This thing had a GPS hump on top of it that really worked when everyone else was AGPS only, and in the spec was EVDO before Sprint even had it. I used it in the first tests of EVDO at ACS in Anchorage and it worked, the first EVDO smart phone and it was never let out, so some strange stuff does happen, I just do not think VZW would have motivation to flash LTE if they could, but just my opinion, could be wrong.

The "G" thing is more company hype and advertising than anything else. LTE is getting 20-35 MBPS with nobody else on it so when it is public, shared, groomed, and throttled who knows but I know it will whip WI-MAX ;-)
[Droid Incredible General] Erickomen27:
It Won't Happen..

LTE Will Require A Sort Of Sim Card...Droid Incredible Has No Sim Card Port. So We Won't Have LTE

It will be a few months before there are any LTE capable handsets on the market. Even then, unless you live in one of the handful of cities that will have LTE next year, you'll simply just be using 3G.

i live in LA. so.
[Droid Incredible General] pete_kowalski83:
well then you're just special now aren't ya...lol j/k. I'm kinda sick of hearing about the "4g" hype. I'm happy to have wireless n and a better 3g service than att, which is where I came from when this phone came out...7_8mos ago, now it's 4g this and that.
