All in all EVERYONE WHOM comes here and expects a miracle will be disappointed.

This is a developers site is it not.???

We deal with and trade early releases .. we are aware of the pitfalls of beta and RC software and roms..

Those whom do not are on notice.. This is not nirvana.. nor are your results personally guarantied.

I myself would find it counter productive to develop apps based on a un-official release so I research and wait.

These are never "normally" billed as the go to roms by ANY DEV...

and as such are used and loaded at your PERSONAL expense..

be it time or trade if it goes wrong...

dk28 runs like s*it in an emulator.. so i discounted it from the start....

up to you if you want to load it...

be it what it is.. it will not be called the same nor will it be the same rom at release..

***Thank you for your feedback***

but as dk28 is not the Official 2.2 you truly are on your own ATM
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Since I have 4 batteries this sounds like a waste of time. Besides I don't see the logic here when using a lithium power cell that has no memory. Seems better to just go into the advanced mode of CWM and wipe the battery stats.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Most likely not. You'll need to be on a stock rom, DI18, unless the usual suspects do their magic with the Odin thingy.

Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
That's the beauty of a clockworkmod backup. I played with the DK28 leak for most of a day and wasn't totally sold on it. Like others say, laggy, dead gps, slow orientation sensor. I did like the slight subtle enhancements to the UI O.S-wise and battery life seemed very improved.

After I satisfied my curiosity, flashed back to stock DI18 2.1, once-clicked, and restored my backup. No loss, no foul.

Have you checked your local Sears stores? Most of their stores should have received at least a few. And they are on sale for $89.99 as of this morning.

Check availability by store on Sears.com.

Good Luck!

they are a small company, in france, with a chinese manufacturer.

despite the demand, they are still small potatoes compared to other companies, and therefore don't get the priority in manufacturing.

huge demand, small overseas market at start. most people in the US for example knew/know nothing about gen5,6,7 etc - or even anything about Archos at all.

i recommend watching the archos official website, as i had a preorder for 2 months at JR.com, saw it go live on the archos.com site and ordered, had it in 3 days. just ahve to be vigilant ...

How would you delete/uninstall apk's installed via adb in the Nook extras section? I have Astro File manager installed but can't locate were these apps/games are. Can I delete/uninstall using adb?

I didn't use my SD Card as it had Nooters image on it at the time. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nook Color General] graymulligan:
Root explorer should be able to do the trick.

alternatively,

adb shell rm -r <insert folder path> <insert full app name>

would do it from adb too.

I swear to all that is holy that I am going to go on a holiday rampage the next time I hear "Oh wow is that an IPAD?". Then you get to explain that its an android pad, then you have to explain what android is 80% of the time, then you wake up covered in blood and the police are there... you get the picture. I think I am going to get a custom paint job on the back of mine and get "Not a dam IPAD" airbrushed on the back, with a unicorn and rainbow of course..

Sorry for the rant.

[G Tablet General] HKChad:
yea, took mine to the inlaws last night to watch the football game (streaming via flash) and I got the same question, "is that and iPad"?? I was like no, it it were I wouldn't be watching flash encoded video on it.
[G Tablet General] teleknEsis:
No need to appologize for the rant. I had a similar experience. I was waiting in the doctor's office with my son and the receptionist (read: older lady) walked up and goes "don't you just LOVE those??" and I knew she was talking about an iPad. I told her it wasn't an iPad and she just gave me this really confused look when I told her it was running Android.
[G Tablet General] markgolly:
Wow, that was my experience at my dentist's office just a few days ago. The only difference was that I wasn't there with my son....

Plug a USB thumdrive in and watch their heads slump over in complete confusion :)
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
Even better than that, when I went to get mine from my local staples, I had to get the manager on the floor to go and get it. And she was like "Oh, you don't want that. You're looking for an iPad."

I looked at her bluntly and said "I don't want that piece of crap. I want this." and pointed to the flyer. :D

Throughout the rest of the transaction, she gave me such a bad attitude. I guess I insulted her Apple fangirlness. LOL
[G Tablet General] smileyscout:
Just about everyone who has seen me at work (Target) with the gTablet has assumed it is an iPad.

This is doubly sad because I used to have an iPad and most of them have seen it plus WE SELL IPADS so there isn't a really good excuse for not being able to tell the difference.

Oh well, I can't really expect most of my co-workers to be familiar with the ins and outs of the tech world. Everyone has something they know more about then the next person. :p
[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
I have an iPad and G tablet, and there are no comparison. iPAD is much mature platform, and more refined when it comes to the build and screen quality.

Hopefully, someday, we will get there with either Gingerbread/Honeycomb combo.

Besides, shortcomings due to of lack of USB and external storage on iPAD, it is much better platform for non-geeky kind.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
If Gtablet was out of box ready, not sure I agree, since without the mod factor, some folks would prefer the gtablet (again IF out of box ready)

1. No iTunes UI needed to move all files (for non modder types)

2. USB host

3. No proprietary connector for data

4. Flash- Some consumers would prefer a tablet that handles Flash.

5. USB host options.

6. Some people like Android and have a phone with it too.

Sad thing is the Gtablet is NOT out of box ready, so iPad wins by default ;)

added: Initial rumors are the next iPad will have USB, but seems anti-Jobs, so seems a stretch of logic based on iTunes UI premise.

[G Tablet General] popezaphod:
Whatever Gets You Through The Night

I agree. The screen and responsiveness of the G Tablet is no where near as good as the iPad. And the out-of-the-box experience goes to the iPad hands down.

With modding, the G Tablet is still not as slick as the iPad. However, the key here is that the G Tablet can be modded, customized, tweaked, and made to run exactly the way I want it to. If I had an iPad I'd basically better get used to the interface and keyboard because that's what I'm stuck with.

Comparing a G Tablet to an iPad is like comparing a Linux box to a Mac, and there are pluses and minuses to each. It really boils down to what you're comfortable with.

I couldn't care less if people use iPads, G Tablets, Galaxy Tabs or some Windows tablet, as long as I get to use my G Tablet.

[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
That's true, but I am very much against Apple's stand when it comes to Flash, and that's why I have resisted getting iPhone, and got Evo, but I got iPAD as the gift, and loving it.

That being said, I love my gTablet, but it would have been nice if Viewsonic could have done better job in picking up the right screen for it?

Being tablet, screen quality is 60% of the user experience, and 40% is flash. Usability of modding such as copying files between your home network and tablet is gravy in my opinion, but not needed if it can do Browsing and apps successfully.

I am not looking to replace my laptop with tablet, as I will still need laptop to power browsing such as Firefox with 14 tabs open, adblock, session saver and list goes on.

To me, it really sux to see that Google can't put killer browser in their own OS, and gmail integration sux on tablet, as Gmail is nicely integrated in iPAD's client.
[G Tablet General] acuralegendz:
At least 10 of my friends have asked the same dumbazz question. In there defense they are not as smart as me ;). They ask if I like it and I tell them I love it, they ask how much it costs and they seem interested and ask if they should get one over the IPad. I say no. This device as it is right now is perfect for a technically inclined person who loves to play with the device and get it running different roms. Its not ready for an average user. I also know that if they buy one I will be in charge of technical support for the life of the device and I dont want that responsibilty.

I am trying to get Clockworkmod working on my DZ.

I have got perm root by using Visionary and I have installed ROM Manager from the market place which appears to install the ClockworkMod image.

However, when I select boot into recovery, the phone restarts and I get a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

I have tried repeating the above steps a couple of time but it makes no difference.

What have I done wrong?

R.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Just go into ROM Manager again (don't reinstall ROM Manager another time) and just flash the Recovery again. It seems to need two goes to make it work for some reason.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicko99:
Tried that several times.

When I issue the Flash ClockworkMod recovery command it completes much quicker than the first time. Is this expected or do you think it's not actually completing the flash the second time? No error is reported.

R.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
For me, when I did it the second time, it was a lot quicker, yes. But it worked - i.e. when I selected the option to reboot into recovery (from ROM Manager), that booted the system straight into Clockwork.

Maybe try going into Menu->Settings from ROM Manager, then selecting the option to erase recovery before flashing ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicko99:
Just reading here, it looks like I need root AND S-OFF. I've only done the root stuff so far...

Stay tuned.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvachev:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I don't think you can flash any custom images, including recovery, unless you have S-OFF ? The write protection on the NAND will be on, which will stop you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
I do remember reading something about being able to flash rooms WITH S-on using a newer Visionary. Never heard anything since though.

Give it a bash n report back, it can only say no.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicko99:
OK. I've now used the gfree package to get S-OFF too and managed to install the ClockworkMod recovery image. And I can boot into recovery too :)

However, in the course of my fiddling, I installed version 2.5.1.3 whereas the latest is 2.5.1.4 I believe.

I've tried to upgrade by using the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" menu and selecting 2.5.1.4 I always get an error saying "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."

I can reflash 2.5.1.3 most times without issue.

This is all with ROM Manager Premium 2.5.0.7.

What am I doing wrong now?

R.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Although there seem to be 2.5.1.4 versions if you go to the download link directly at http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ , there aren't any for Vision (DZ/G2) there. So I think the message you're getting from Clockwork about a newer version is wrong, and you're on the latest (2.5.1.3) already.

I disconnected my phone from power when it was at 100% before going to sleep. This morning 74% of power was left (after 8 hours).

"Cell standby" ate 40% and "phone idle" 35%. I'm in 5 bar coverage area. Is it normal?
[Captivate General] Faygo:
i dont think so. i use almost no battery overnight unplugged with not so good coverage. im running stock atm.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I also use about 35% overnight. I started to systematically uninstall recent apps with no change so far. About 5% drain/hour. Weird stuff but also intolerable
[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
What is top battery consumers for you?
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Display is at like 36% when I get up in the morning, even though the phone has been idle all night. Then android system is like 25%
[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
Probably different issue then mine. You probably have some reminders or someting lighting up screen or something at night.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:

Mac
[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
Stock, rooted.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
Did you recently perform a flash (to a new ROM, a different one, or flashed back to stock JF6)? If you did, you'll need to condition the battery.

If not, you probably have some background apps that run all night.

EDIT: Ooops, nevermind.
[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
I did not recently flash anything. I do have a bunch of background apps but if they were consumers they would show on a list, is not it. It would not be "phone idle" and "cell standby".
[Captivate General] jakelaw:
I'm in a similar boat. Ill drop around 20% within two hours. Display time is less than 30 minutes. Display down low. email fetching off. Running cognition 2.3 Tom

Is it worth trying cpuset and tweaking?

Hope your battery life improves. I hate the mid day charge
[Captivate General] nybmx:
Any chance you have wifi on? When I was running stock I would only lose a few percent overnight with it off. With it on though I would lose 20%+ easily.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Wifi uses battery more than 3G? In any event, without hijacking the OP's thread-I turned off wifi and it still uses about 5%/hour sitting idle with the screen off and locked.

However, what I did this morning: When arriving at my office-all I did was turn off something called "animation" in the display settings. I have no idea what you miss with animations turned off, but in about 3 hours of sitting idle, wifi on, I've only lost 2%. Not sure if I'm onto the problem..but will let it go another couple hours to check..then I'll turn the animations on again to see if that does anything.
[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
I actually enable WiFi during sleep instead of 3G since according to posts here WiFi is using less power then 3G.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Thats what I thought..so turning off wifi is obviously not going to help battery life if you have a 3G signal. I don't know..I'm just killing one app at time but its tedious. May just do a factory reset-ticks me off to see the battery drain on a device that's already hard on the dam battery to begin with
[Captivate General] rwcollings:
I have started using cpu tuner to underclock my cpu when im not using it. Doing wonders so far. I am at 40% and have been using my phone normally for 10 hours 36 minutes
[Captivate General] color0:
Woo first post--

Turning all data connections off will vastly boost your battery life. Not just WiFi but also 3G. On the stock Captivate you can do it by dialing *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > (Hit Menu button) > More > Disable Data Connection. Also check for SYNCing, stuff like Facebook, Twitter and Google syncing takes up a lot of juice since it repeats so often. I turn mine off unless I know I need real-time updates on a given day. On top of that, just keeping background apps from drawing CPU (i.e. having task manager to kill the ones that you KNOW keep running even though they're in the background) will help. I got ~24-36hr out of a charge through these three practices.

The next step for me personally was rooting the phone and taking out all the AT&T bloatware. This stuff loves to run in the background for whatever reason and killing it every hour is not going to help your battery life. So I removed all of it and reached almost 48hr out of a charge (low usage).

Turning off animations just takes away the smooth transitions between screens. I believe the home screen launcher (TouchWiz for stock Captivate) is actually unaffected, you still get smooth scrolling between screens. I'm using Launcher Pro and unticking the animations box in the Android settings only took out the menu animations, my homescreens are still smooth and fluid. Just that hitting the menu button makes the menu display immediately, instead of softly/smoothly, and returning to home is also instantaneous. I don't miss the animations, I like my faster AND more efficient.

If you've got the guts to play with your phone and really void your warranty, flashing to Froyo (2.2) and then optimizing everything you can about its power consumption will up the battery life even more. Today I used the GPS for a road trip, listened to music, spent 2hr browsing the Internet, made several phone calls, used the phone as a flashlight for an hour (pure white on screen) and after 24hr off the plug I'm at 50% battery. :cool: This phone + Froyo really is no joke, I've spent a couple days' worth of hours tuning so far, but once it's set up it's really satisfying. I can easily wring out 3 days from this phone if I don't go crazy with it.

Edit: If I let the phone sit still for 8 hours I lose about 1-2%. Not bad at all.

Reading around it seems that wifi signal and cell signal quality also majorly affect battery life. So if you're in a good location, you could potentially get much more out of your phone than if you're in a place with bad signal.
[Captivate General] idlewillkill:
My battery life improved dramatically going to

settings ====> wireless and network ====> wi-fi settings ====> options ====> advanced

and changing wi-fi sleep policy to never. My default setting (Rogers) was when screen turns off. Made a big difference. Don't know if the default is the same on AT&T.
[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
What do you mean? You battery life improved actually after enabling WiFi to be always on?
[Captivate General] nybmx:
I think it's pretty funny how half of the forum swears they get better battery life with wifi on and the other half with it off.

I personally have never gotten better battery life with wifi on. I've ran stock, JH7, 3 versions of cognition, and now on Perception build 4 and this has never been the case for me. I've tried it out with access to different routers with varying amounts of signal and it still showed no signs of improvement.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
+1 on that. Just turn wifi completely off and experiment with that. I find that wifi on "never" is a battery killer..however, I think it's possible if you're in a real sketchy signal area and the radio is constantly trying to keep a 3G connection, that could be a battery killer worse than wifi. Subjective opinion..not quantified
[Captivate General] mattsternc:
I'll throw another data point out. I was getting really great battery life (3 to 4 days in most cases) with light data usage, etc. The kicker here is that I had 0 to 1 or two bars of signal strength at my house. We just happen to live in a dip, because if you go 3 blocks in any direction, the signal is 3 to 4 bars easily.

I just picked up a MicroCell on Monday. Since then, I've noticed that my battery is draining much faster now (18% last night!). I have 5 bars of signal strength. But in thinking about this now, I have background data turned on. I wonder if the low signal strength and no Microcell would equal no data being pulled down, which would equal the excellent battery life? I will turn off 3G connection tonight and just leave the phone active to see what happens.

Thoughts?
