[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Sweet. I did this last night and today the NC has been mainly idle, poked into it a dozen or so times doing misc stuff but mostly unused.. Cleaning up before the holidays... Anywho, in 5 hours it lost 2% of battery, and no more Dialer wake lock. Highest is Android System now, which could be anything.. but it doesn't appear to be TOO big a deal. Uptime Widget has a "wake time" and "wake percent" mode, and it's reporting 15-20% wake percent (which does include the time I've actually been using it), so that's not too bad... Compared to like 70-80% before anyway.

I have yet to see any problems, but again, I haven't used it much today.. I'm going to bang around later today to make sure I don't see any weirdness. :)
[Nook Color General] NajinX:
Sorry guys, but I'm new.

When I try to rename TelephonyProvider.apk or Phone.apk, it says <Insufficient priveleges or rights>, something like that.

What do I need to do to get in there?
[Nook Color General] mrschmitz:
You just need to have root access. You may need to "su" (super user) first.

Mine is root by default, but I used autonooter. If you don't have su, perhaps the z4root app is in your future...
[Nook Color General] mrschmitz:
I have had mine this way for a few days and have seen nothing different. So far so good.
[Nook Color General] NajinX:
I did autonoot, and have SU- but trying to rename those files with Astro and having permissions issues. Can't seem to find z4root in the app store or appbrain.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Astro doesn't support SU so you can't use it to make changes to the system folder. Use Root Explorer instead. It costs a couple of bucks but is well worth it because it's so much simpler to do file management with it than ADB or the terminal.
[Nook Color General] mrschmitz:
Ah, can't do it with astro, you need to use adb or something like root explorer.
[Nook Color General] NajinX:
Thanks guys. I've installed Root Explorer, renamed both files and rebooted. However, I'm still seeing cell standy under battery usage.

Any ideas?

Sent from my Nook Color - Thanks Auto-Nooter!
[Nook Color General] mrschmitz:
Make sure you rename them to remove the ".apk" extension, change them to something like "Phone.apk.bak".
[Nook Color General] NajinX:
That worked, thanks.

I hope this stops my battery from draining so quickly.

I do have wifi on all the time, but only cuz I'm always on the web.

Do you guys recommend using a task killer? I've always had mixed results with them.

Sent from my Nook Color - Thanks Auto-Nooter!
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Linux systems (including derivatives such as Android) don't generally require active task management by users. They definitely don't need task killers that automatically kill "idle" tasks for you. Those cause not only performance problems but stability problems, as well. Unlike with Windows, the operating system here is quite capable of handling task management on it's own.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Auto kill = bad... manual is required sometimes in 2.1, like for example Pulse news eats a bit of cpu until I kill it. :(

Standby battery like is amazing, like .2% / hr.. in use with wifi and such reading news, around 10%.
[Nook Color General] ohyo:
If you don't want to spend the extra money, you can use adb to rename Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk. Here's what I did:

From a command prompt, type adb shell, then enter the following commands, each followed by enter:

>cd /system/app

>mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

>mv Phone.apk Phone.apk.bak

>mv TelephonyProvider.apk TelephonyProvider.apk

>reboot

Should be good to go. Good luck!

ohyo
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Thanks for proving my point about Root Explorer being simpler than ADB or Terminal commands by messing up the command in line #4. ;)
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
By the way, standby for my Nook is insane. I left it unplugged last night, went to sleep at 2am (ahem) 64%, woke up this morning at 9:30am.... 64%.

Battery Diviner says it's using .02%/hr. heh.
[Nook Color General] hliew88:
Yay this works (provided line 4 follows the same pattern as line 3, where it is renamed to have the .bak at the end). Now Android system takes up the most battery. Just have to leave it for a while to see its impact on batter life...
[Nook Color General] hliew88:
Now that we can remove the cell standby part of battery usage, has anyone figured out how to remove the phone idle part as well? Or is that required for android to run?

My battery seems to be draining slower!
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
From what i'm told in a different thread, phone idle is supposed to be there.

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Correct -

To android - this device (actually, any device its on) is a phone. So when the device is alseep, it still uses some power, which the OS marks as "phone idle". That, short of renaming, can never be removed.
[Nook Color General] hliew88:
Ahhh I read through that thread as well. Makes sense, and I guess it's no big deal given phone idle only comes on if the NC is in sleep mode and it doesn't use that much battery anyways.
[Nook Color General] jleong89:
this pertains to post #7's picture:

I am new to all this android stuff. what app are you using to view those processes and are draining your batter? and what app are you using to view your battery life?
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Phone Idle isn't something that "comes on" and uses power. Phone Idle is simply the absence of anything being on. Its presence in the report is merely how Android documents the power consumed by the device while it does nothing.
[Nook Color General] asantaga:
Standby time

OK, so the general consensus is you get about 6-8ish hrs of battery life, which isnt bad for this sort of tablet, but of course yes it does depend on what u use for . (video uses more etc)..

but what about standby? thats what Im really interested in....

somene said .2%/hr (which equates to 20days!)

[Nook Color General] declain:
Stock nook, I'm getting a couple of days. Honeycomb preview and I'm lucky to get 6, but that's expected for a beta. 2.2 Froyo builds and I'm getting a full 8+ hours a day!
[Nook Color General] seth.i.simmons:
Is that 8+ hours of on time, or just 8+hours till it Hastings be plugged in again?? Also, is that with wifi on or off? My battery life doesn't seem too great, but I am always messing with stuff on here :-P Oh, and another thing, are you running thestock 800mhz, or are you OC'd?? Thanks!!
[Nook Color General] droid2501:
Hi there,

Just installed CM7 on my nook color. When I put it in standby I'm getting a battery drain of about 16% per day. Is this normal? Any suggestions to improve battery life?
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
I'm pretty sure that's not normal.
[Nook Color General] darien87:
Depends on how much you're using it. With what I call moderate usage, (playing a few games, doing a little web surfing and reading for a few hours), I tend to go from 100% to 60% in one day. So what you're seeing doesn't seem out of line to me.
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
Stock/Rooted 1.2.0 with ADWLauncher EX. It's been 8 hours and mine has consumed 4% (mostly on standby). Not bad at all.
[Nook Color General] droid2501:
I'm not using it at all. It is on standby. I get 16% battery drainage per day on standby.

All I did was install CM7 version 7.0.3. I didn't make any other changes. WiFi is off.
[Nook Color General] droid2501:
Okay, I fully charged my nook running CM7 7.0.3 (stock no additional apps installed) and ran it for 12 hours on standby, no wifi, no sync. The battery is down to 93%. So that is a 14% drain per day on standby. The main users of the battery are...

56% Phone Idle

43% Cell Standby

1% Display

Is this normal?
[Nook Color General] darien87:
Sounds about right. Try getting Root Explorer and deleting Phone and Telephony Provider, although there is confilicting information as to if these apps really drain your battery. Sucks to see phone related apps taking so much battery when the Nook isn't a phone.

But the real issue is that with CM 7 the Nook doesn't really go to sleep in standby. It's kind of in "half-sleep". They have a fix for it in the new Beta 7.1 ROM. If it really bugs you, try that ROM out. It is still a beta though. I'm sure the sleep fix will be coming to a stable build soon.
[Nook Color General] pixeljunk:
Are you on the latest version of CM7? It fixes the sleep issues. I'm getting a 3-5% drain overnight now. (About 8-12 hours between use.) This is compared to a 15-20% drain in the same timeframe before grabbing the newest version.
[Nook Color General] droid2501:
Thanks for the information darien87. I read up on those phone and telephone provider apps but there doesn't seem to be a consensus whether or not they improve battery life. I guess I'll use the empirical method of deleting/renaming those apps and see if there is a difference.

I'm running the latest stable version of CM7, which is CM7 7.0.3. If removing those apps doesn't work I'll try updating. Thanks again!

Yes, I am on the latest stable version which is CM7 7.0.3. I have not tried any nightly/beta builds. Which version are you running? I'll try that one.
[Nook Color General] droid2501:
Okay, I tried renaming the phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk to phone.apk.old and telephoneprovider.apk.old but I ran into some issues.

When I renamed the phone.apk and rebooted I could not access certain menus in the settings without a few FC. It seems that removing this app causes stability issues with my nook (running CM7 7.0.3). I gave up since I'll take a lower battery life over stability issues.

I was successfully able to rename telephonyprovider.apk without any stability issues. I rebooted and reran the test I mentioned above, I put my nook on standby for 12 hours. The result was the same, a 7% drop in battery life over 12 hours.

I think these results are consistent with what I've read in other posts; that removing these apps is not recommended because they cause stability issues and don't improve battery life significantly.

I'll try a CM7 nightly build next. I heard that they have a fix that supports "deep sleep" that can conserve battery life better on standby.

Sorry if it has already been discussed or seen that it wud be nice to have Google chat app only thing is missing on wp7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Captainkrtek:
Great idea... Ill look into this

EDIT: It is possible using XMPP
[Windows Phone 7 General] KarmaXXK:
True, but you can't actually implement XMPP without TCP socket support.

So you either need a gateway server (similarly to Fring, Nimbuzz, etc. on other platforms, where the phone is just a "dummy" - the real stuff is done on their servers), or the native sockets, which guarantees you won't be getting in the Marketplace anytime soon. Also I'm not sure they're mature enough for this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
The keyboard on this phone is absolutely the best I've used, but fairly often, I accidentally press the enter key and send a text before it's completed. Facebook chat through the official app has the key set to just drop down a line; one has to press the soft "send" button to send a message into chat.

Is there any way to set this as the button's default behavior? Or maybe just for the messaging app? I'm using the SwiftKey Trial at the moment, and I couldn't find any sort of customization options.

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus One General] PaulCayard:
Android exclusive releases: 2.1/2.2->HTC, 2.3->Samsung, 2.4->Motorola. Who is next?

I think that Google relationships among manufacturers of the Open Handset Alliance is very good until now. Three biggest companies (HTC, Samsung and Motorola) have got an exclusive Android release: 2.1/2.2 for HTC/Google Nexus One, 2.3 for Samsung/Google Nexus S, 2.4 for new Motorola tablet.

Who will be the next? LG? Sony Ericsson?

And next Nexus/dev phone? Motorola?
[Nexus One General] lambasurm:
i'll cause some carnage by saying that the next will be nokia :D
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
There are no exclusives. You need a base phone to build the platform and that base phone will more than likely get that Android release first as the other phones scramble to adapt.

1.0 was built on the G1.

1.5 was built on the MyTouch.. I think?

2.0 was built on the Droid.

2.1 was built on the Nexus One, so was 2.2.

2.3 was probably built on the Nexus One initially and then probably moved to the S.

2.4 was built on the Mototab.
[Nexus One General] hks18psigst:

[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
I don't think it's really a "major change". I think it's an intermediary step to support dual core, as has been previously rumored. Undoubtedly there will be other tweaks and changes, but I think the main purpose is support for dual core devices.
[Nexus One General] subvecto:
there are other issues besides support for dual core, such as support for higher resolution and proper scaling...
[Nexus One General] labbbby:
Well Andy Rubin said that the way they operate, for now, is to find a handset manufacturer and a carier (pretty much verizon for now) to get a reference design out for the new version of Android.

I think the Nexus' are different because they are developers phone, whereas phone like the Droid, were reference phones.

Also Andy alluded to new API in honeycomb for dual pane view to be used for apps like the Gmail client (similar to the iPad version) and that those API could be used on phone as well but that panes would be displayed differently because of the smaller size...

[Nexus S General] drthr:
Hello,

I bought a Nexus S and use it in France. I get a 3G signal, but whenever an app tries to access the localization info, the 3G signals disappear and my phone gets disconnected from the internet.

I tried with Maps, Foursquare : each time the app requests localization, 3G goes away.

When WiFi is enabled and if I'm connected to a network : no problem.

Could this is because I did not configure well the Orange (FR) APN ? I don't think so since this is pretty well documented.

Thank you

I recently recovered my phone through ODIN and then upgraded to JI6 through Kies.....I wanted to re-root the phone and get it back to where it was before, but I'm having problems. I loaded the root file and put the update.zip in the root (not the avatar folder) and tried to update packages through recovery. I get an error message that says e:can't open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory. I checked the file type in both drives (avatar is on e: and everything else on g:), the avatar folder shows a FAT file type, but the g: drive shows an unknown file type. I had received information to try a different update.zip file, but it won't change the error message I get when select update packages in recovery. What can I do? I've searched a lot of posts (and I risk a flaming on this one, I know), but I can't seem to find one that seems to follow my trail of getting to where I am at today. One last thing, when I was recovering through ODIN, i did not select repartition because i could not get the 512 pit file to populate in ODIN. Thanks to anybody who can help me (again).....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
ok, ODIN back to stock. No change for the update.zip. This time when I flashed I added the pit file, and also checked repartition. No change in anything regarding the message or anything from before. I have tried tyhe update before and after I went from JFD to JI6. I really have no basis to speak from, but it seems that the path from my e drive (avatar) to g drive (everything else), is where the problem is, or else I got a bad flash. They all look the same though. I assume I would need root to get anywhere other than JI6 anyway. Thanks again for your help with this. I do appreciate it.....

My suggestion:

Click on the Noob Guide (signature)

Download files

Load ODIN

Get phone in download mode

follow my instructions in the guide

You will then have a stock froyo leak + root

at that point I would backup, then flash something, maybe NeroV3 and then enable voodoo (if you like).

I don't see how the alt method could lead you wrong.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
I apologize, I sincerely didn't notice anything that mentioned not to partition. Going forward, if I reflash through odin with the right pit and tar files WITHOUT checking partition, do you think I should be ok? As a note (if it even matters), all of my files and things were still in the internal sd card, although the new market is there from my old 2.1 rom. Not sure if it matters, just more information.

Excellent information, but one question since I'm still learning. Not in the way I had hoped, but trial-by-fire.....If I download the leaked froyo with root, don't I need root access first. Also if I can flash this through ODIN, where does the update file go in the ODIN screen, do I need the 512 pit file, what about the pda, phone csc windows, what do i poopulate in those options, if any. I do bow to your experience and knowledge. I promise once I get back to where I was before I may never do this again! All this from trying to flash a new kernal that was supposed to be compatible with all bionix platforms (I was running 1.9 w/jac's ocuv). Thanks again....
