I'm using windows7 64bit and IS from Focus
[Focus General] machbe1984:
Also i had this problem when i installed mi7 rom of DFT on my windows 7 64 bit. I tried re-install MAGLDR v2.0 but my windows 7 64 bit couldn't install ss focus driver (before i install DFT rainbow rom on windows 7 32 bit). However i found a solution as follow:

- Switch the phone into MAGLDR mode by pressing the power button>, <volume ->, <camera key>

- Connect the phone with PC by USB cab

- Windows 7 64 bit will auto searching and installing ss focus driver (maybe you will have to try several times, driver will be installed successful)

Hey there,

I just wanted to ask you whether anyone got games working properly through RDP/VNC whatever.

I saw WoW running fine through Remote-Connection on an 3g iPhone, but it wasn't mentioned what Software he used.

Im having problems with Teamviewer and normal RDP.

Anyone got it working?
[General Questions and Answers] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I had Lockbot Pro on my EVO until last night. Got frustrated with it, and when I tried to go and download theme's from the gallery, I kept getting errors and it wouldn't connect, even after rebooting the phone and trying again.

So I read through the comments in the market for Widget Locker and it had a lot of positivity and I decided to give it a go.

I noticed today that my battery is half drained where as at the equivilant time in the past, I would be about 3/4 full.

I am still new with Widget Locker and trying things out. I have the Widget Locker with 6 sliders on it as well as the clock and the Tiny Palmary Weather Widget.

Nothing else is installed recently besides Widget Locker, so this is my reasoning with my question targeted at Widget Locker as the suspect.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Whiteice
[General Questions and Answers] khaytsus:
No, it's not. Feel free to look at System Panel, Spare Parts, etc..
[General Questions and Answers] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I was wondering something about this.

When I had Lockbot Pro, it had a still image for the background. When I entered my PIN to unlock the phone, then it takes me to my normal screens which run a live wallpaper.

With Widget Locker, my background is the Live background. Does this mean that even when the phone is in standby until I hit the button to bring up Widget Locker to get into my phone that the background is constantly running whether the phone is on and being used or in standby mode?

Thank you,

Whiteice
[General Questions and Answers] Enhanced:
WidgetLocker definitely drains your battery. You can just do your own test to find out.

Before you go to bed, leave your phone off the charger and remember what % you left it off at. Then:

1. Observe how much battery is drained overnight without WidgetLocker.

- For me, my phone drains around 1-4%.

2. With all else equal from the night before, apply WidgetLocker and, again, observe how much battery is drained overnight.

- For me, once WidgetLocker was installed and applied, it drained at least 20% every night.

For safe measure, you could reboot your phone before doing these tests to make sure no other apps are running in the background.

This is the test I use for testing the impact on battery every time I install a new app. I'm more cautious of apps that change system settings more than just stand alone apps (such as games). WidgetLocker definitely falls under the former so I wasn't surprised to see that it does cause a fairly significant change in battery life. It's a shame though cause it's definitely a good app. It's just the trade off isn't worth it when the Captivate doesn't have the best battery life to begin with.

The only thing is that it wouldn't list "WidgetLocker" when you use those apps. For example, with Spare Parts, WidgetLocker's effects would cause other measures to increase. If I remember correctly, "Android System" under the Partial Wakelock category was a lot higher with WidgetLocker installed which means that it does prevent the phone from sleeping at times. Also, Running % was higher as well with WidgetLocker installed which means again that the phone ran for a longer time without sleeping. Anyways, my suggestion is to use my tests above if you want to find out how it really effects real world usage. Observational tests will give you the best results (if all else are equal).
[General Questions and Answers] Izkata:
I don't know if it's a Captivate issue or an Android issue, but one of the settings the Captivate has turned on by default triggers a bug which might be related to this thread.

Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi settings -> Menu key, Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy.

The default sleep policy that the phone comes with is "When screen turns off". The problem is that when that one is selected, sometimes the phone doesn't sleep correctly, and battery drains quickly because the CPU is still running. (Set to "Never" and I've not had problems since) I've tested with Tasker as well, making it respond to the screen turning off - it also prevented the phone from sleeping, even though it should have done no such thing.

So Widget Locker, if it responds to the screen turning off, could easily triggering the same bug as those two. At least on the Captivate. Other lock-screen replacements would probably do the same thing. If that is the problem, responding to the screen turning on, instead, might fix it.
[General Questions and Answers] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Thanks all for the info and advice.

For the time being, if not forever, I went and uninstalled and refunded my purchase since I was still able too.

After I posted this thread, I plugged in my phone and charged it. Once fully charged, after 45 minutes off the charger, I lost 1/4 already. This hasn't happened until I installed this program.

I also noticed that my phone is a bit "zipper" once I removed this program.

Thanks anyhow. It seemed like a good program but wasn't worth the battery drain and slight sluggishness I noticed with it installed.

[General Questions and Answers] khaytsus:
I've measured zero difference between using Widget Locker and not using Widget Locker, but I also have my phone doing stuff, so perhaps it wakes it no more than it already would have been. With K9 email, updating weather, syncing a few accounts, Tasker running, misc stuff, my phone always has 2-4%/hr.

However, the author has said a few times it's doing nothing if it's not visible. Could depend on the widgets you have loaded of course too.

I have Beautiful Widgets time/weather (4x1), PowerAmp (4x1), Android Agenda Widget (4x2).
[General Questions and Answers] zitoun:
And do you think that lock bot could drains battery?
[General Questions and Answers] WhiteiceDMSTech:
What I had loaded on the Widget Locker lock screen was the default unlock and silent mode, camera and brightness sliders. I added a Dolphin HD and Pandora slider. I had the default clock and the tiny Palmary weather widget set to update every 1 1/2 hours. This update setting has been the one I've used on Palmary since Ive had it the last month.

And just FYI, I would have loved to have kept it, it seemed really awesome. But again, I did not have this battery draining issue until I installed this program. And it seems to have gone away once I removed it. All this within a 24 hour period from when I purchased Widget Locker.

Whiteice.
[General Questions and Answers] Rastaman-FB:
the phone will go into a sleep state using widget locker unless you attach a widget that prevents sleep.

I have typoclock and poweramp widget on mine along with a custom slider.

I dont get any difference in power consumption than normal

however im not using homehelper, i have a fully rooted device using the root method of the 5 second rool and turned off weather animations.

I would consider what widgets you attach to widget locker and what method you are using to avoid the 5 second rule. Home helper maybe a resource hog.
[General Questions and Answers] eventer289:
I notice no significant drain on my battery. I had my phone on for 3 hours today while in class, and my phone only dropped 6%.
[General Questions and Answers] 44IN:
I experience phone lag with it, really awesome app but it needs some more work, interference with stock lock screen too.

Had to remove it but would like to bring it back if those glitches are sorted out.

Had it on Desire ...
[General Questions and Answers] XmUrF:
Widgetlocker definitely drains my battery. Pity because it's a great application. However with it on android system takes over 40% of my battery, Widgetlocker itself is shown to take another 17%

and OS monitor shows constantly at least 25% CPU load from Widgetlocker.

Don't know what is wrong but something is wrong. Will try to root my device and not to use home helper and check if there is any difference.
[General Questions and Answers] papaskispartan:
I will have to look at my settings because I am not having any serious battery drain at all. On my WL, I have Beautiful widget with clock and weather going (update every 3 hours) and quick dial/text to my wife.

I am getting normail battery life with or w/o WL. I will report back my settings so those that love WL can continue to use.
[General Questions and Answers] XmUrF:
OK, I've got to admint, rooting the phone and bypassing homehelper definitely improved the situation. Although I still have to check if there is still some battery drain when using the program. I guess there is some but not that significant anymore. Now the program is usable.
[General Questions and Answers] jzack:
same goes with me... widget locker does drain my battery.. my battery used to drain about 2-4% per night... but after installed the widget locker it drains like 12% to 18% per night..

i did the rooting too.. but still it drains the battery.. like 15% per night.. that is on standby no usage at all.. jus wonder how will it drain on normal usage.. lol
[General Questions and Answers] Enhanced:
I wonder if the updated WidgetLocker has any battery life improvements? Anyone with any new experiences?
[General Questions and Answers] s1mpd1ddy:
i installed widget locker last week, and I've noticed it does seem to drain my battery significantly. I also dumped a sh1t ton of widgets on it too.

i think its the price you have to pay for functional lockscreens like this. I had an iPhone 3GS with LockInfo on it and it drained the battery a bit too.
[General Questions and Answers] Fodoom:
Seems like a dead thread, but I am also having battery issues with WidgetLocker. I am certain that it is the culprit because when I restarted my phone after installing, the battery indicator was yellow, and when WidgetLocker initiated, the battery instantly went to red. Any ideas on how to fix this? I love this app.
[General Questions and Answers] squint:
Yep - I agree with everybody above. WidgetLocker is a battery muncher.

It's one of my favorite programs, but I've had to part ways with it. With it running I was only getting about 7 hours out of my battery - without it, I go 12 hours easy.

Sucks. Back to default lock screen.

Okay so when i first made my nandroid i was on hboot .79, but i am currently on .76 (because of cm6). Now i want to restore my nandroid backup from .76 but i cant until i can get back to hboot .79 So any idea how I could do this?

can someone help me?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
???????????????????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
edit: n/m just reread it. As long as you ran unrevoked forever you should be able to use the 3.29 RUU, just reflash your recovery afterward.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
Aw..wow is that the only way?? How would i go about doing that? Where can i get the 3.29 RUU? I used unrevoked 3.21 to root..idk if that meets the requirements....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
The RUU can be found here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic

As far as the Unrevoked Forever I think that you should be able to download it from the Unrevoked site and flash it. I dont know if that will still work fur sure.

But yeah, this is the only possible way to do it because RUU is the only thing that changes those things. Essientially unrooting but with forever you will still maintain root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You could make up a PC36IMG.zip that would just flash the hBoot but it's safer running the RUU. Once you restore the nandroid you should be rooted again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
How do I make a PC36IMG.zip? Just create a file of that name? and put the hboot image in it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
Not to be an @$$ cuz I really don't know how to do the whole PC36IMG.zip.. But honestly man, some things are worth taking the extra time to do, and this is one of those things. Run the RUU instead of flashing the hboot shortcut.. It's a lot safer then risking your phone being a useless brick.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
It has to be packaged properly for it to boot. Yellowcard is right about doing it through the RUU though, the only time I've seen anyone truly brick their evos they did it by flashing a bad hBoot downgrade. Plus the radios tie into the bootloader so it's better to do them all at once.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
So would I just flash the RUU zip from my recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You'll need to do it from fastboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
Nope, the RUU is basically a program in a way more so a script. Hook your phone up and run the RUU... Thats really all there is to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
is it possible to push .79 hboot via terminal emulator? Or is RUU the only way? What version would I use to do this? I cant really find anything online...
[G Tablet General] greyspacealien:
I really have never really looked in this folder, the 1 or 2 times I have on my phone it was always empty. I have been flashing my gtablet like crazy and now the directory is chuck full of stuff but not taking up a to much space about 80mb.

Does anyone know what this folder is for?
[G Tablet General] ShinAli:
It's a directory Mac OS X creates when it does a file system check and places any orphaned or corrupted files it finds in it.
[G Tablet General] mlj11:
My phone's never even been near a mac (ok I might have placed it near my girlfriend's once or twice) but I got this directory after updating to froyo using kies on windows. Never had it on eclair.
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
It must be a Unix/Linux thing since Mac has a BSD-based kernel. Since Android is Linux, it might have the same function to scan the file system and put any files lost into that folder, as the Mac does.

Windows does something sort of like this, but I can't remember off the top of my head where it puts the files.
[G Tablet General] greyspacealien:
I don't own a mac so there must be somthing else using the directory.
[Streak 5 General] teloss:
I would like to change the English physical keyboard of my Dell Streak (Froyo) into German. The reason for this is that I use the German version of the Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth) and I write texts in German. Can someone post a file or script to copy it into my system? My Dell Streak ist rootet and I use Root Explorer. Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] BiboTheClown:
Hi,

I've made some keylayouts and keychars files to adapt the Logitech DiNovo BT keyboard for my streak.

You'll can find it be googling "Modaco DiNovo")

The basic process was to first find the proper keylayouts and keychars file name. This can be done by monitoring the adb logcat when connecting the BT keyboard (was "Logitech_________Bluetooth_Keyboard" for mine...)

Once that, you should try to find the proper scancodes for your keyboard (search with google the "keytest.apk" application from github)

Then you must adapt the kcm.bin and kl file to the correct keys :)

the kcm.bin is in binary format, use a binary editor for it (I used ultraedit)

Hope this will help.
[Streak 5 General] teloss:
I have found your post at MoDaCo but your instructions are too complicated for me. Is there a spelling app to change the "ae" into "ä", "oe" into "ö" etc by means of autocorrection?
[Nook Color General] ericejs:
Very noob question so forgive me. I don't have any experience rooting and the instructions seem too much for me. Will there be a "one click" type option to rooting the NC, or is this the only instructions that will get it done? I know there may be people working hard to develop this option so forgive me if that's the case, and thank's for your hard work! I will definitely donate if there's an easier way to root!
[Nook Color General] sapienta:
There probably will be, you just have to wait for someone to put it together :)
[Nook Color General] ericejs:
Awesome! I love my NC but having a droid X I would love another Android beast to take around with me! Can't wait for a quick root option! Great work guys!
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
The root instructions are not as difficult as they seem.

The easiest way is to burn yourself a Live Linux CD and write the nooter image from there.

After that it's just inserting SD and wait a few mins.
[Nook Color General] ericejs:
I don't mind waiting if theres going to be a good quick option somewhere down the line. Im a patient person haha
