[Captivate General] yugotprblms:
I do not know if I am doing anything wrong or not, but let me describe my situation.

I have auto brightness turned off and brightness is all the way down with a very dark screen with only a bit of blue on it. Bluetooth and wifi are generally always off. GPS is as well, and only turns on when I use Maps. I have been messing around with Tasker and have set the data to turn off when the screen does. It seems to help me get better battery life, but it seems like some of these people are getting amazing times out of their batteries even with the data on. I am running Perception build 6 on AT&t. I also seem to lose roughly 1% every 10 - 15 minutes, even when the screen is turned off. Should I talk to AT&T about this?

Also, it seems like when I leave my data connection on, my phone just randomly turns off more than when it is off when the screen is. It did it this morning right in my hand, I woke it up, put it back to sleep and then tried to wake it again within a second and it was off. It really bothers me.
[Captivate General] mattsternc:
I turned off 3G last night and only lost 3% of battery. For me, it looks like something is pulling a lot of data, so I need to try and figure out which app is doing that.

Any ideas as to what I could use to try and figure that out? :confused: I'm not a total newb, but haven't been using Android for very long ......
[Captivate General] andoh:
I've noticed trends in my phones battery life that alternated, at first, in strange ways. Sometimes I would use my phone lightly and it would seem to last forever, sometimes it would be very hard to keep any charge at all.

I realized, when identifying my problems, that the battery screen is not the most reliable for identifying background progams vamping your battery. More recently I found I have a program that when running in the background can run my phone down in about 4 hours.

This was never a problem, but lately people have been clamoring about how good Android memory management is and how you should never need to manually close apps. Then everything connected for me, The biggest reason we need to close apps, as well has have good app management is to maintain battery life.

The first steps I took were investigating what apps activated regularly, as in hourly, every 5 minutes etc. What apps were checking for updates that I haven't used in forever. And, then I managed how often they check for data as well as uninstalling apps I don't find myself using.

This really helped me. What changed besides my battery life that leads me to believe this is true? When I run app management I don't see a giant list of apps anymore. And when I run it a second time, the same which is a big deal. Before my changes I would run app management, force close everything, just to run it again and find out the list was repopulated with everything plus some.

Guys & Girls,

I have been busy building my first 3D game for the Desire HD, Galaxy etc - but I am in desperate need of some good quality oldskool game music - I want an old Great Giana Sisters style. Does anyone know where I can gain access to free to use music files that have a definite game style to them?

Or does anyone feel like making some - my app will be released on the market for a whole £0.99p but I don't foresee it selling to well - not many children have £500 handsets yet and the game has been developed for my children who are 4 and 7...

Thanks for any advice,

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun_bv:
I had been using WM6.1 ROMs till now and am planning to cook a 6.5 ROM for myself. For this I need a 6.5 SYS and XIP. I went around looking for a SYS download at xda, and within minutes I was baffled. I saw that different cooks use different build trees for X1 ROMs. I couldn't find an answer for the differences between these different builds. In one thread it said was one tree was Motorola, another was HTC, while another was Sony Ericsson. Does this mean that these builds were developed for these companies and will work only in their products.

I need help understanding which version to use.

I have seen 6.5 builds with different UI designs, like oval buttons at bottom, rectangular buttons, start menu at top. If some one can help me with this or point me in the right direction, that would be wonderful.

I also need the 6.5 native kernel for X1.

The links in the thread for that are dead, and it seems the thread itself is dead. If some one could point out to a thread with a valid link or a link to the NK, it would be great. I could get the NK from someone's kitchen, but the bandwidth is too limited for me at the moment, and I was hoping that I wouldn't have to wait till my DSL problems are sorted out.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrashot:
no.

If you want to get old-style gui, then download WM6.5. Latest available build is 21916.

If you want new style gui, go for WM6.5.3. Latest builds are 23150 and 21686.

I have been using WebStar's Ultimate ROM for a few weeks.

I wanted to change ROM's, so went to clockwork, ULK, then Disable all lagfixes.

Trouble is, now the SD card won't mount. The phone still boots, but I can't do very much - including make a call as doesn't get a signal.

I tried going back in to clockwork, but can't do anything as it's not mounting.

Can someone direct me on how I can get it to mount? I can then start to breath again!

At least one place to buy Archos Gen 8 accessories

NOTE: When I originally wrote this E-Mail it contained the URL / web addresses where to find accessories to the Archos Gen 8 line of products. Unfortunately, I'm new -- just like these forums to this website. After doing the work, I discovered: "To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!"

At this point, I can only remove the URL / web addresses and later add in the URL once I'm trusted not to spam. As they ask me to understand, I'll ask you -- the fine reader -- to also understand.

Hello,

I just got my Archos 70 Internet Tablet from the Archos Store <URL suppressed till they permit me to post it> and got the only one accessory sold by Archos (the leather carrying case). Later on I found a place selling Archos Gen 8 accessories and placed an order for several items.

The place is New MP3 Technology at <URL suppressed till they permit me to post it>. The products for the Gen 8 devices are at:

A101: <suppressed till they permit me to post it>

A70: <suppressed till they permit me to post it>

A43: <suppressed till they permit me to post it>

I hope you'll let us know what accessories you find and where they are on the net.

Setup: Windows-7 64 bit, Nook Color rooted, ADB enabled

Hi all,

Using the instructions laid out in the Nook Color portal at Nook Devs, I still can't seem to write or delete system apps. The mount command indicates the partition is rw, but Astro keep on saying is a read-only.

Also, when I reboot, the rw attribute is lost and reverts back to ro.

Any ideas?

[Networking] mloverme:
Hi all,

I did a few searches before this and it seems like no one else has asked about this yet. My goal is to get some type of external radio working on an Android phone in hopes to learn more about the system and possibly get a USB LTE radio talking to Android. I know most of the phones use usb Micro which supports a host protocol but I don't know if the Android system supports it.

My first goal would be to get a usb wifi dongle or 3g dongle working. My reasoning is because those have linux drivers so maybe I could try to get the driver on the android phone? Just my thoughts.

Does anyone think this is possible? Thanks for any help.

PS: I am aware that I would need an adapter to make the dongle fit to the micro usb port.

Hi,

I'm trying to connect my SGS (2.2 Froyo) to an ad hoc network here.

I know about virtual access point but I don't want that for some reason. Please do not suggest that here. I want my SGS to connect to an ad hoc, that's it.

Have looked at a lot of forum posts, blog posts etc. on this and tried many ways to push wpa_supplicant to /system/bin but it has been very unlucky.

First of all, I've rooted my SGS with SuperOneClick and everything was fine there and I've been granted with Superuser access.

Below are a list of my failures in attempting to push/copy/move/overwrite the wpa_supplicant (in)to /system/bin

adb push wpa_supplicant /system/bin

adb remount

adb push it to /mnt/sdcard then attempting to move wpa_supplicant from sdcard to /system/bin using Root Explorer

tried su - mount too but it doesn't help (or maybe I did this wrongly)

Will appreciate someone to guide me through this.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephting:
Thanks a lot for your help, luismanson.

However, that doesn't solve it.

Here's what I did.

Open Root Explorer, click on mount r/w, browse to mnt/sdcard, move wpa_supplicant, browse to system/bin, paste.

Unfortunately, the size doesn't change and wpa_supplicant still remain in mnt/sdcard.

Then I tried copy wpa_supplicant to / directory (root), I can't find that file there too.

Is something wrong?

It returns with this message:

What do you mean link? The person who provided wpa_supplicant never showed any specific instruction. He/she just said, push the file to /system/bin or push it in recovery time.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinaydargar:
Where did you get the file?

I'm trying this, but i don't have the correct file. The wpa_supplicant i'm trying to replace is corrupted or not appropriate, and it causes the force-close vibrate (not actual force close) whenever i turn on wifi, and it turns off after saying 'unable to scan for networks'. and also something about an illegal argument.

josephting, could you tell me where you got the file that made yours work, so that i can try it too? Mine is a galaxy ace, not an S, but they're similar enough to be worth trying.

Also, my Ace doesn't have that WPS icon. Not supported on Ace?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephting:
Currently, I'm not using Samsung's Android anymore. (Formatted into MIUI)

So, I don't have the file. Try look around again for the file.

I'm not sure, I didn't paid any attention to that.

Maybe it's because SGS support WPS?

Sorry that I couldn't be of any help.

Just create a new thread and wait for someone who really can help to help you out.

Good luck. :)

A solution for the problems with YouTube app was found at Archosfans.com (as usual). Follow these instructions and it should take care of it for you:

4-1) Download, install and start "android terminal emulator" from the Android Market

4-2) Enter the following lines in the emulator’s window beginning after the $ sign, press the enter key to execute each line. With the following two lines we will be removing the entire faulty YouTube App we loaded in section 2. Note: There is a space between cd and the first /.

cd /data/test/froyo/system/app

rm YouTube.apk

4-3) Close the app (back out) and reboot your Archos Device.

4-4) Now return to the Market and download and install the YouTube App from Market.
