[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canada_Will:
I sent you a PM to show where it is in Android System Info app.

Once you find that screen, you will be able to click on the process that is using the wake usage and it will tell you how much time is being used keeping the phone awake.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldude99:
Thanks for the heads up! The PM notification is so small I probably wouldn't have noticed! I really appreciate the help...the people on this forum are definitely the most friendly and helpful that I've experienced anywhere. I'm not sure if there's a fix tho for the battery drain. I don't see any indication of a rogue app or an unusual process. I'll probably eventually do a factory reset or flash to a custom rom or the "official" froyo, if it ever comes out. Meantime I'll be checking Best Buy for a remote charger of some sort-or keep it plugged in a lot
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1rtu0s1ty:
Even if I said that only 10% was consumed in a span of 6 hours, I'm still shocked at how much this phone eats battery. My phone was at 100% charged when I left this morning. Around 4pm, I only have 10% left. I only spoke to my wife 3 times. We talked only for like 2 mins, total of 6 mins or less. I also used the internet while I was on train but wasn't on all the time.

I like the operating system but the phone is beginning to annoy/irritate me. I can't always bring my charger with me. Is it a phone issue or o.s. issue? Is this issue only happening in Samsung phones?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Ummm...nope...lurk through the other high end phone forums...battery life is huge concern for all. Rooted, axura rom, uv kernel, with display on I drain 10-12%/hr, such as internet browsing or xda reading, idle wifi on, gps off no change to sync settings, most set at one or three hours, 1%/60-90minutes
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldude99:
Finally I picked up a spare battery and charger (Samsung OE). The extra battery is thin enough to be carried around without too much bulk. On a train or plane trip tho it would be nice to have some kind of external charger..haven't found a suitable one yet tho
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
I would say it would also depend on the ROM u r using. I am right now using and and decent battery left at the end of day after what I call moderate usage.

I am using this ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848066

My typical daily statistics:

1. 11 -12 hours since unplugged

2. Battery remaining: Approx 50-65%

3. Voice calls: 1.00 - 1.5 hours

4. Display: 1.00 - 1.5 hours

5. 2 gmail accounts with push turned on with about 20 mails delivered daily

6. google voice with push all time with about 100-120 messages delivered using push

a. I do not have SetCPU, and using the ROM defaults.

b. I have my brightness set to 0, with auto-brightness turned off.

c. I am on 2G network, and 3G turned off since the phone was taken off the charging hook. In short, on EDGE/2G all the time.

d. Static but nice, colored wall paper.

e. Edit: GPS turned off.

If none of these work for you, try changing the battery. My first battery sucked even on stock JH6 firmware.

[Venue Pro General] murdo119:
I was told to just call tmobile and ask for the unlock code. I'm also suggesting to try putting in a different (foreign or other carrier) sim to check if the phone is unlock. I have heard some rumors that some venue pro that was sold earlier was unlocked. Some customer service reps only read from scripts and since Tmobile is their launch partner, they discourage selling the phone to be use on a different carrier.
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
The ones that were sold early by Microsoft were unlocked and had no branding. It seems like the new ones have the T-Mobile branding and as such they are likely locked to that network.
[Venue Pro General] quinstar:
Well,

Seems like Lionel Menchaca gave some interesting info on unlocking...

http://en.community.dell.com/dell-b...tails-for-customers-in-the-united-states.aspx

It seems that it currently isn't officially supported, but the phone will be released in different countries and sometimes fully unlocked...

Guess we'll have to wait...

It's hard, but I really want one so I hope that waiting will be worth it...
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
He's saying that in some regions the phone will be sold unlocked, like here in the UK. That doesn't change the question, even if the US version is locked to T-Mobile it could still be able to work internationally like the US HD2.
[Venue Pro General] michael871410:
The phone does have the capability to work outside the US. You won't get the 3g data unless the carrier you have supports 1700 AWS, which I believe only T-Mobile and a provider in Canada use, so Europe is out on the high speed data
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
I believe it's 1700, 900 and 2100 so that would work in Europe.
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
Sorry sir, but you are wrong. I have explained this on another thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9564519&postcount=19

The DVP will definitely work on 3G in Europe, Asia, and North America.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronaldo_9:
the rom you are trying to use needs a ext partition on the SD card.

if you dont have ext partition you need to make one. you can use rom manager from market to do this. But back up the sd card before trying this as it formats it, then you can move the data back.

check the site on my signature tells you how to make ext partition for apps2sd

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If you have amon-ra recovery, you can create it from the recovery. But I think you have clockwork, so you need to flash a stock rom to get your phone back :)

Or use a gparted live cd and put your SDcard in your pc and then make and ext3 partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stigslim:
Yes i have clockwork mod.I flashed it with a stock ROM then installed rom manager from marketplace to create the partition, then flashed the HD ROM.Probably the long way round for anyone who knows what they are doing but hey it worked :D.Thanx for your help, just gotta figure out now its working why it keeps re-starting :confused:

Hi everyone..

I just installed the RCMixHD_v013 on my htc desire and WOW :) im a happy man.

But I have a few questions.

First about the HTC ebook reader, is it possible to put your own ebooks in and then read them through that app? Or do I have to install another app. cause I can't find the folder to copy them to, and it can't find them if i make my own folder in the root.

Thank you

Drmalle

Found a solution after spending several hours on the net.

You can install "FBReaderJ-0.6.6" it reads almost every ebook, and you can copy all your books to the root and it will find them it self.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybrid3:
Hi guys

Really need some help. I have somehow broken my phone.

The phone is S-Off and had been working fine for months on various different roms.

Today, I did a nandroid back up through clockwork and then upon reboot all my apps were missing. It soon became clear that the phone could no longer read the SD card

In recovery I can not restore etc as it says it cannot mount the SD card.

I stupidly wiped the system so now I can not boot at all. I can still get to recovery though.

Is there any way I can fix this and get the phone functioning again or is it completely dead?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] akinandroid:
Hello SGS lovers and developers!

So, many of you will be aware of the Sony Ericsson LiveView gadget that has just recently gone on sale (im in the UK and got my pre-order unit yesterday). For those that are not, its essentially a secondary AMOLED display connected to your android 2.x handset by bluetooth. Its supplied with a watchstrap in order to give it some sort of geek chic (i think).

Well it works! It is definitely cool.

That said, as is frequent nowdays, the product is rushed to market before its ready. The marketing coupled with the time of year as well as the marvelously low pricepoint (£50) means i expect they will shift loads of them in the coming weeks now that it has been released. Sadly, the software is nowhere near ready IMHO.

If you read around this forum you will see that the main issues regarding this product is its bluetooth connection which is quite frankly, pants. My SGS seems happy with the device for maybe 60% of the time, the rest of the time it is absurd. Now i fully understand that any software revisions by SE will likely improve on this, but it is my understanding that it is the actual bluetooth stack in the SGS that is the root of the problem as it zaps almost all the CPU. Every few hours, the phone starts to vibrate constantly for about 30 seconds (or more) and then generally locks up usually resulting in a battery pull. Not ideal.

Many users want to send theirs back for a refund. For me, i would rather impress my mates but i need it to bloody work for that!

Not being a developer i thought i would challenge you all (those that are interested anyway) to investigating how we can improve this. SGS (Eclair) is publicaly listed as compatible by SE.

With time (and its Sandbox SDK) i know this product has great potential both practically and as just tech bling! Even though apps and functionality are a little limited for now, when it does work, its great!

Oh and btw i am running UK SGS with Darkys 4.0 Voodoo FROYO ROM.

Anyone got any ideas on how to improve it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cantIntoCode:
Sorry but, you can only post in development if you have cooked a ROM etc. Questions should be in Q&A.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] akinandroid:
Thanks, its been moved.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] brunes:
Does anyone have any update on this device, specifically if it works better with the Froyo update?

I think it looks pretty slick if it works well I would buy one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gbohm:
unfortunally it doesn't work well neither with jp6(2.2) nor with jpy(2.2.1) it isn't an android problem but a problem in the device itself sony will bring an update soon(according to engadget) they promice some fixes should i report how they work out)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rosch89:
Im in the same boat as you buddy. Apparently SE is gonna release an update for the liveview this month and its supposed to be major, aimed mainly at supporting the various android phones over bluetooth as the problem is common. I've tried it with my GS, x10i and a Dell Streak. Works sometimes, and then fails jus like u described on all. Lets hope the update coming out this month is FIRSTLY on time and SECONDLY works! :)

just google - liveview update, shld b the 1st hit...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Neris:
Just to inform you:

I use the LiveView with the update since tuesday. Few connection issues, working really good.

Only Problem is: Using the LiveWare App provided by Sony Ericsson let's my Phone crash or slow down all the time. Just uninstaledl it and start the LieView App manually when needed and no Probs with that any more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
I have one question, is it worth buying the liveview for the sgs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] fylim:
I hear that it drains that the battery a fair bit even when showing only time. Can someone confirm ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rosch89:
it does not drain battery that much at all. While connected to the live view, If you look at the bluetooth connection icon in the status bar, you wont even notice that it is connected to the live view. Where as if you are connected to a bluetooth headset you would see that there is a constant bluetooth connection icon.

Also would like to add that I have upgraded the firmware of the live view unit and it seems a little more stable with the connection. But still freezes up occassionally when not in use and connected. Still needs improvements if you ask me.

To those wondering if you should buy it now. I recommend that you hold off for a while untill there are further updates from SE. I am currently on Darky's ROM 9.3 b3 and have tried it the live view with all Darky releases since 8.0 or so I think.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtcom:
Could be a problem with the contacts on the battery -- perhaps the contact is loose, so when you bump the phone just right it loses power and shuts down.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B73C:
I had this once last week. I left it sitting on the workbench in the garage for about an hour while I was out there and it became unresponsive to all buttons/keypresses.

A battery pull and it fired right up again.

It was -10C in the garage and the bench is metal. I chalked it up to getting too cold.

It hasn't done it again since I keep it in my back pocket (front pocket has claimed a few digitizers/LCDs in the past!).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manleyfu:
This is definitely not an individual case as I saw so many DesireZ or G2 users in HK or China raised the same issues on the gfan forum (one of the China HTC forum).

My DesireZ is a genuine one with stock ROM. It happened 2-3 times already of what we called the "sleep dead" in China here.

I locked the phone then after a while when I tried to turn it on, all buttons became dead. Finally I have to pull out and insert the battery again to make the phone alive.

Some of the gfan forum members also encountered the same situation. Some of their phone are Euro version and some Asia Pac version but the cases are the same that means this problem are not only for a specific version. Some say it is becoz of temperature but I really don't think so. I am sure this is a bug......

Bring back to HTC is not a solution as this "sleep dead" phenomenon don't appear every minute. Mine has happened 3 times and I bought this DZ only about 2 weeks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snagaa:
happened 2-3 times to me too, each time it was sitting in my pocket.

it's summer in Australia so i doubt its anything to do with being too cold.

Anyone found a solution to this? Is it a s/w bug or a hardware issue? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWolfCW:
As far as I can tell, it's a hardware issue. Happened to me four times randomly before I took it in and exchanged at Bell. My new phone and the phone my friend got (at the same time as my first), has zero issues.

At the time, it didn't matter if it was cold, warm, fully charged, plugged-in, etc. It would do it randomly once every 1-4 days. It didn't even matter after I did factory reset (so software would not be an issue).

I have no idea what causes it but if you're getting the sleep-dead issue, I'd really recommend exchanging it if you can. Better to be safe than wait and find it's not an issue you can fix yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habskilla:
I have a Bell stock Desire Z that has done this twice. First time it happened was when I tried wake it up in the morning after sleeping all night. The second time it was at a Christmas party.
