i meant puzzle lock for screen lock even with out having notifications to respond to. doing some googling but it all seems complicated as buck!
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
no joke. I'm barely starting to understand it myself, the JL4 lockscreen is the first one I've done where I actually had an idea of what I was doing other than just copy/pasting what worked from other lockscreens in the smali code.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Thank you so much Anomalous3 for making this available! Any chance you could do this for the newly leaked JL5 as well? :D

Blew up my stock JL4 deodex.
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
Flashed this over Eugene's Ginger clone and it completely messed it up. Apps wouldn't load, the settings "program" was gone, phone was very slow and sluggish.. not sure what happened. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
Why would you flash this when ginger clone already had stock lockscreen? You had the errors because Eugene's Rom had some serious modification to system files.

"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
[Vibrant Android Development] sano614:
Posted in the wrong thread, woops!

It wasn't this that I flashed. It was the Fascinate and Epic lock screens for JL4 that I flashed.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
flashed on the JL4 deodexed, works perfect, took a long time to reboot, hung on the S screen, but eventually it booted fine and now is back to normal. Thanks for making this.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
as a rule of thumb, if the OP of any mod does not state that it works with custom themed roms, don't flash it because you'll have a ton of problem, much like the ones you're describing.

Does anyone agree that the battery life for Samsung Focus is really short?

I use my phone to check emails, browse websites and listen to music during lunch, dinner and on the road. The total hands on time per day is roughly 2hrs. But if I only charge it overnight, not anytime else, it only last until right after dinner.

It unacceptably short comparing to my ex-phone, HTC Touch Pro2.

Anyone experiencing the same thing?

Who should take care of this issue? Samsung or Microsoft?
[Focus General] jimenez16:
My phone on moderate use will last me 1.5-2 days but I usually charge it at the end of the night regardless. In the first couple of days I did notice that the battery would drain pretty fast but seemed to get better after that.
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
Mine will typically go from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. or so while still having the battery indicator having something inside. That's with it being used all day as an mp3 player, triaging email, web surfing, and Twitter.
[Focus General] siralex241:
When you get a new phone the battery has to go through a couple of cycles charging for the phone to calibrate. Also, keep in mind things that drain battery: light theme, streaming, basically downloading massive amounts of data. Make you sure you discharge your battery to about 10% and fully charge your battery a couple of times. Try not to go below 10% not good for battery. Make sure you are using wall adapter ac to charge. Charging from a pc is very slow and generally doesn't fully charge unless you leave it plugged for a LONG time.

Light use I'd say 1.5 days

Moderate 1 full day

Heavy use 7-8 hours
[Focus General] enjoythemusic:
With light use i get about 4 to 5 days, heavy use i get about a day or two. Check to see if you have location services (GPS) running, wifi, etc as the more parasitic things you can turn off the better the battery life of course.
[Focus General] Tempest790:
Mine lasts all day for me. A long 16+ hour day with moderate usage leaves me at about 30-35% battery. I keep Wi-Fi turned off and bluetooth always on. Not bad for a smart phone. I've seen phones far worse than this (Sprint Epic anyone?).
[Focus General] 1jaxstate1:
My battery last abour 8 - 9 hours, and I'm running for a outlet by then. But I'm a heavy user. Bt headphones with the music playing, twitter constantly, facebook, text, email, IE..., pretty much all of those 8 - 9 hours.
[Focus General] FL5:
I have just about everything that I can find turned on, and have been using my new toy as much as possible. With that, I'm having to charge about twice a day, which is roughly where I was at with my Tilt2. Your battery drainage really sounds like it's normal, and likely related entirely to how much crap you have turned on and running in the background. The biggest drainer of the battery in any phone is gonna be the radio, so if you want to improve battery life, turn off stuff that connects to the network and set your email/weather/tweets/facebook to refresh much less often. Select "as items arrive" for your hotmail and Gmail so that they push instead of pull. Check your basics first before trying to find a customer service rep to chew out.
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
I'm happy with my battery life. I just charge it every night like I have every phone Ive owned. I use my phones as my morning alarm clock. I have all location services active, and i activate WiFi when usable. At work I leave it plugged in to stream music and podcast.
[Focus General] codyt01:
Coming from Android and Droid Incredible, the Focus is awesome on battery. I have no problem lasting the full day. I charge my phone each night overnight.
[Focus General] willp2:
It's a mixed bag for me. the first few days when I was just getting to know it, making calls and just goofing around with basic functionality the battery was lasting very long and things were looking great.

Once I started using the data and other apps, the battery drains very fast IMO. I mean play a 2D game for half an hour and I won’t make it through the day.

Right now I’m not digging it that if I’m out and about I feel like I need to avoid using the phone like I would like to.

I’m really looking forward to being able to do things like being able to easily disable 3g.
[Focus General] Bwyan Benton:
I'm most certainly happy with my battery life. After using a nexus one, xperia x10 and the galaxy s I have nothing to complain about with the focus....just lovin wp7 at the moment.
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
Games are always battery killers, especially on AMOLED screens that tend to get the best battery life with black interfaces, since they actually don't light the pixels up if they're supposed to be black.
[Focus General] Anthonok:
Coming from an iPhone 4 i can't complain. Battery on that was amazing. The focus doesn't Last at long but I can't say im disappointed. It's actually better than expected.
[Focus General] vermelo:
It is normal for the battery to die after browsing the internet for about 3-4 hours?? Not happy about that.
[Focus General] magare:
Battery life

It depends on how the phone has been used. Screen is the biggest power drain, than the radio (3G data, WiFI, location services).

With all on and moderate usage (gaming for 30 mins, a few calls, and playing with the phone for an hour) I get about 12 -13 hours.

With all off and a few TXT and calls (about 10 -12) I get about 76 hours.

Not bad I guess.

This phone is better than iPhone 3GS.:p
[Focus General] Zhariak:
I agree, I was loosing full battery within half a day with my normal usage for the first 4-6 days... Then after a while, now I can go for 2 days without charging under normal usage...

The battery life on this thing rocks!
[Focus General] denizen08:
I use my Focus heavily for reading texts off of PDFs and browse the internet using WiFi most of the day, and in my free times I listen to music so I use it quite heavily. Yesterday I ran it through my routine day and got about 14-15 hours of full operational time from 100% charge as I took off from my dormitory to university to 0% half-way back to my dorm. My only problem is the length of time it has to be plugged in to charge. Its pretty slow, but that may be because of the large battery capacity to begin with. :)
[Focus General] leo5111:
the battery life is just OK, hopefully like with other cellphone updates maybe battery life will be improved at least somewhat, we can hope....:rolleyes:
[Focus General] willp2:
I have two of these things. Mine I use a lot and while the battery lasts less than my old 3GS, I am getting used to it and end up keeping hooked up to a charger pretty often.

My wife's on the other hand is baffling. She hardly uses the thing, maybe a call every day or two. For a while there we were getting about 3 days from a charge and then it would still have around 30%-50% left.

Now in the last few days, it drains the battery completely overnight. And I mean completely its totally shut down and dead. That’s with wifi and Bluetooth off and virtually no usage. Not sure what is happening, but this really sucks as now she can’t count on the thing to just be a phone without needing to be babied.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
The battery would last longer if there was a way to turn of blueooth discovery mode. Once the device is paired this is not needed.
[Focus General] bennyj71:
I have two email accounts syncing every 30 minutes, use as a music player for my truck, receive or make thirty calls a day, get or receive twenty texts and browse internet. My focus lasts about 9 - 10 hours. That's it. I mean dead to where the phone won't turn on.
[Focus General] aa2br:
I solved my problem after turning wifi, bluetooth I found the problem....Location services....

Turn off any location service in your Samsung Focus and battery will last 2 days easy.
[Focus General] siralex241:
i was searching around the forum and have a couple tips to prolong battery life. First in the accesories thread there is an 1800mah battery that fits under the oem cover...I will be ordering that. Check your email update intervals...if you you do not receive many emails a day you should set the intervals to as items arrive considering if you get a couple of emails during the day it will only sync a couple of times. Set your brightness level to low...you'll get used to the screen being darker if you give it a chance....manage your background tasks under settings...generally you do not need half the applications enabled. Enabled battery saver when battery gets low...uncheck phone updates considering you should periodically sync and charge with your computer...Turn off bluetooth if you are not using it...although I leave mine on...Just some helpful info...I am a heavy user playing music, video, using phone like a kindle, and texting all day....I can squeeze out a full day off battery.
[Focus General] foxuniform:
Mine also lasts just about 12 hours with LIGHT usage. I have to go real easy onit for it to last the day on the road. Hardly anything besides push

Hotmail and Gmail, a little WhatsApping here and there, and a few minutes of phone calls for the day. This is the weakest battery performance I have come across in years of buying smartphones.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I think either your battery is weak or one of your settings is wrong. Read what I've done here and some tips on increasing battery life 2 posts down.

For me, the background apps on was the worst battery drainer.
[Focus General] benerjee2k:
Even I am using the phone from a month and the battery lasts only for a day with moderate usage like my outlook sysncs every 1 hr, wifi for an hour or 2, checking FB and attending calls.. not long calls. I didnt get the original battery with the phone, but after talking seller he has shipped the original samsung battery and I will check how long will it last. After going thro the thread I have switched off the location services, and unistalled few apps that were running background and i couldnt disable them. Lets hope for the best.

I tried using that stock nandroid from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714114then the second time it just stood at the command script to restore but it didn't do anything. I restarted my phone and now im trying to find a way to restore my phone to stock.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haiishq:
try different comm port

close everything, or ever restart your pc

1. start odin

2. put your phone in download mode

3. connect your phone to the pc

4. watch if it reads the port, {in yellow}

5. load your files and flash, dont disconnect till it says passed/reset

isnt switching the comm port just using a different usb slot? no matter which one im using im still getting comm5.

how long should this part take? it might have froze?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djobvious:
anybody have any other suggestions? its been saying file analysis for more than 5 minutes
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmartof:
Try this!

Open odin dont plug phone in yet

load .pit and .tar file

Make sure everything is out of your phone (battery, sd, sim)

plug phone into pc via usb

hold both volume keys and insert battery(should put you in download mode)

unplug usb from computer and plug back in(odin should recognize phone)

push start

that always works for me and if it doesnt then try to reformat your sd sometimes that works too!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
In case anyone wants to mount one of the .RFS files out of a firmware image (in particular, the "hidden.rfs" in the full 550MB+ CPW firmware which contains the full version of NovaHD) from within OS X, you can do so via these commands;

sudo mkdir /Volumes/RFS

sudo hdiutil attach -imagekey diskimage-class=CRawDiskImage -nomount filename.rfs

Take note of the drive number the command returns, then,

sudo mount_msdos /dev/diskX /Volumes/RFS (replace X with the appropriate number).

You then have the RFS file mounted & available to copy files from.

Under Linux you just mount it as a loopback device, OS X doesn't really support this functionality though, so this is a good workaround.

If you do need a FULL Euro firmware to play with, then you can get one of the full 550MB+ images from the FUS server;

http://fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_Binary/9/GT-P1000_P1000XWJJ7_P1000CPWJJ5_P1000XXJK5_P1000XWJJ7_XW_CPW.zip.enc

Get the decoder util from: http://db.tt/i0yM0Py

Copy it into the same folder as the .enc file, and from a windows commandline, in that folder, run:

(Remove the space before _XW that the forum is putting in for some reason)

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838961 for more info.

I'd recommend against flashing .RFS files from this archive unless your tab is orginally an unlocked model from the UK. Flashing the entire .tar from Odin will almost certainly freeze unless you're running an original untouched CPW firmware. (You can check this with the Check FUS tool from the market).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] grellanl:
Cool to know, thanks. I've wanted to reinstall Nova HD since I upgraded first, but didn't know where it could be found, and Samsung don't offer a way to reinstall it.

Hell, if it was on the Market I'd just buy it again, but that option isn't available - and I won't use Gameloft's horrendous broken process to buy it either.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] antz88c:
Tried it but RSF folder is empty or it looks like its just loading,
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
You've missed something then as I used those exact steps and it works fine. And what do you mean "loading"!?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] antz88c:
The RFS folder is empty, and there's the round loading icon (lower right of Finder), seems its trying to load the contents but it wont :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
What was the output of the various commands?

Which RFS file(s) are you trying to mount, and from where?

What version of OS X are you running?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] antz88c:
hidden.rfs from JM6, running 10.6.5.

Nothing peculiar with the terminal outputs.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
How big is the JM6 hidden.rfs? The one from the CPW ROM is over 200MB.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] antz88c:
About the same.

Your original post didnt say what hidden.rfs to use, so since im on JM6, thought i'd mount the one from JM6, but should still mount right?

Maybe will try the hidden.rfs from JK2.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
Doesn't matter what .RFS file it is, the instructions should mount ANY valid .RFS file.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zerocool76:
you can find something interesting like Nova in the XWJJ3 firmware (hidden.rfs).

I had to mount in ubuntu with loop, because on Mac os I couldent see the content of the mounted volume, once I clicked on it the mouse pointer changed to loading and stucks!

It sounds really complicated and risky, and some of the posts I've read seem to indicate that wifi tether might not work after installing froyo. I can live without flash on my phone, but wifi tether is my only at home source of internt and there's no way I'm paying Sprint's greedy asses thirty bucks a month for something android's capable of doing for free.
[Epic 4G General] br//0k3/n:
Its really not that difficult. Just backup your phone (boot into clockwork>backup+restore>backup), flash the new PIT+modem through Odin, and install quantumROM (or any other rom) from zip on SD through clockwork. No issues for me here. ^,^

Plus, you can always restore if something goes wrong or flash to stock and restore the data from your backup.
[Epic 4G General] konaman:
I'm pretty new to android and I was kinda worried at first as well, but seriously its not hard at all. I cringed when I first rooted my evo and now on to my epic and I'm not scared at all now. Rooting my phone was the best thing I've done to it and I don't regret trying. I know there are "risks" involved but as long as you read and follow the instructions posted in literally every post then you'll be fine. And flashing to froyo was way easier than I thought. I was gonna stay on 2.1 till the official 2.2 release came out but I can't leave stuff alone. And it was super easy! Odin worked exactly as described and flashing roms is a simple process. You just have to read and read again. So have fun and happy modding.
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
Nothing risky about it just need the capability of following simple step by step directions (seeming to become a rarity today). Most the people on here should have crapped their pants in the early days of android flashing SPLs to load roms that would have a high probability of bricking the phone requiring a JTAG repair to get working again.
