[Galaxy Tab General] mudstuff:
Just wanted to bump this as my battery life is miserable and it discharges really fast in standby...

My HTC desire has been on for 52 hours, used for a lot of stuff and is at 20% battery.

The Tab charges to 100%, I unplug it at night and in the morning it has lost approx 10%, I leave it a few more hours and it't down to around 60%. This is with no use and no apps running!

I've tried killing apps or leaving them in memory and it doesn't seem to make much difference. I also use setcpu and have a profile where the CPU speed decreases when in standby to conserve battery?!

If I charge to 100% and use it constantly, I get fair life out of it maybe 4-6 hours of light use - some streaming over wifi, web surfing, kindle, sudoku etc. If I use it occasionally or heavily though, it dies very quick and if I leave it at about 40% on the evening, it's generally dead in the morning.

Why does it discharge so fast in standby??
[Galaxy Tab General] chuckbeasley:
Check to see if it continually searching for a signal. I've noticed that mine loses a lot of power constantly searching for a signal, cellular and wifi. So, I used airplane mode to conserve power. Remember that it syncs to different services that require it to periodically download data. That may be your issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] mudstuff:
Thanks Chuck, I use it in airplane mode all the time and only use web over wifi (bought unconnected in the UK). Would it still be syncing for email etc? I didn't think it could turn on wifi and sync itself but only when I turn wifi on. I always turn wifi off when not in use. I had problems with widgetlocker asking for superuser permission quite often and that killed the battery quicker so I removed that until it's fixed and saw an improvement.

I'm not seeing the times that other people are though, losing at least 10% overnight and there's nothing really running.

I installed battery doctor and the times it quotes are high for different types of usage and nowhere near what I'm getting.

I'll make sure email and calendar are set to manual update, adjust brightness etc and see what happens. It seemed better when I first got it so perhaps an app is draining it? I installed system panel to monitor this but it's hard to see what is actually draining it, any recommendations anyone???

Quite disappointed at the moment, ipads barely drop 1% overnight and I'd rather not have to turn it off to conserve battery when it should maintain it in standby...
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
Check the task manager and see what application are running. Also you can go in settings- about device - battery use to see if a specific application is using your battery out of normal. Also , the display is generally the battery hog, you may have set it to a super high level. One last thing you may have the buggy 3d gallery app, and it will show in the battery usage.

[Galaxy Tab General] cylent:
this is an interesting problem. its very similar to the Apple Macbook Air.

The Macbook Air was very thin - very nice looking - however it needed to depend on wifi to do most things.

the association i am trying to build here is this: the Tab needs a bluethooth headset so you dont get all your calls broad-casted over speakers and that could drain the battery a lot.

for me the battery drainage didnt seem so bad and its been on for the last 36 or so hours. the battery icon didnt look like it moved so much and i was impressed considering this thing had a gigantic battery. then i loaded up a utility that read the battery and said i had 59% so my jaw dropped. not only is the battery indicator wrong there maybe rogue processes casuing the battery drainage. and this is on 2.2 which is supposed to be somewhat battery efficient.

i dont know - frustration is what i am all about here with this thing. it seems that every time i buy a new android device i want to move to another android device. no one is getting the damn thing correctly setup.
[Galaxy Tab General] saayinla:
Am at work right Now, Charged the tab overnight, just few minutes ago my battery said 60% left and now the tab is completely dead, wont turn on, I ll wait until i get home to charge, fingers crossed.
[Galaxy Tab General] shubh.27hd2:
Change the battery...
[Galaxy Tab General] saayinla:
its been charging for 2 hours now and battery is not even warm to the touch plus no power yet... if charging is what you intended....:D
[Galaxy Tab General] saayinla:
more than 3 hours of charging and counting and still no sign of life...This device is just 8 days old today from Brand new...
[Galaxy Tab General] shinji21:
I am experiencing the same thing. Tab on flight mode and charged to 100% overnight. Unplugged at 9am, still on flight mode with no apps running, and it is 88% at 2pm.

12% drop in 5 hours with no usage whatsoever is way too much imo, comparing let say to my HD2, even not in flight mode. Wonder if they have a bad batch of battery for certain tabs........
[Galaxy Tab General] shinji21:
Just wanna report back after my last post. When the percentage was dropped to 85%, I did a reboot. And guess what, now it displays 95% !!!!!!

5% drop from the morning til now in flight mode seems right and okay. Does it mean the tab is miscalculating the percent left?

PS.

I have been following the voltage in Spare parts this morning. All settings are the same (no apps opened, same screen brightness and in flight mode. Only turn on to record voltage)

94% - 4087mV

91% - 4081mV

88% - 4075mV

85% - 4067mV

But then after the reboot

95% - 4040mV

Man, I am not sure whats going on here........
[Galaxy Tab General] cylent:
let me jump in here again and share a similar deli-ma i had with my X10i.

while i was messing around with some custom roms i decided to stick to one that looked somewhat nice. well the funny thing is the battery indicator would always display 100% and for about 4 hours it would drop ever so slightly. then i removed the battery and put it back in -- the battery indicator showed 0% and i got a red light flashing ....

after screwing around with it for a bit i re-flashed the stock firmware from Sony-Ericsson and magically my battery meter and my battery worked fine.

so to sum up -- it maybe a software issue like the one i had on my SE X10i above?
[Desire General] rahav:
1. I rooted the Desire with "Unrevoked3".

2. Install the ROM "Bravo_WWE_2.29.405.5_v5" (FroYo 2.2)

3. Install the "Android.keyboard.v2.3"

4. download and install the "AnySoftKeyboard"

Now I have problem the swith the default keyboard from HTC to any other keyboard (see the attached picture of my "Language & Keyboard" screen)

Can any one halp me the change this default keyboard?

I need keyboard with Hebrew support and the HTC keyboard dont have it.

In WM I use the "SIPChange" but I cant finde any App like this for Android
[Desire General] noobandroid:
perhaps you should be finding a Hebrew dictionary set for the keyboard, and use it together with a mod keyboard available in this forum

[Desire General] rahav:
OK I finde how to switch the used keyboard:

after I install the new keyboard I need to:

1. Go into any text field so the keyboard will be appear on the screen.

2. Long click on the optical trackpad. (A "Edit text" dialog will pop-up)

3. Click on "Input method". (A "Select input method" dialog will pop-up)

4. Click on the keyboard you like to use.

"that's all folks"

I've just purchased s2p 1.4 from the marketplace, but I have quite an annoying problem with it.

My phone is a w73 dual sim Windows Mobile 6.5 based phone. The problem is a resolution related issue. I'm using the correct version (QVGA), but my phone screen resolution is 320x240, not 240x320, since it's in landscape orientation by default.

When I start s2p it automatically rotates my screen, just as if I had chosen "vertical" on the screen orientation settings in wm. Is there anything I can do to prevent s2p from doing that? Maybe an utility or registry hack I could use not to let any app change my screen orientation?

Thanks in advance.

I think since I don't own a WVGA phone might be in the installation process. so best advice reinstall if it doesn't work contact me because this help me in mynew software based on s2pSEE YA

Happy Holidays to all :) ,

I am only a month old in the Android world and fascinated (like a small child). :p

However, I have install the CyanogenMOD 6.1 on my newly bought Wildfire. I also installed the Googie application pack.

However, I still like the look look of the Original wildfire and the original applications which were provided by HTC.

So is there a way, I can have a Cyanogen 6.1 Rom with the original Wildfire them & applications? If there such a package I can install?

Thanks in Advance,

Doron.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] TiiXiboy:
why don't you just have stock Rom with a custom kernel like Jacobs? with that way you can have the HTC look and still overclock it. sry if this was an stupid answer but I think the look is the best with cyanogen :) (im newb with this so sry if I am wrong)

[G Tablet General] Hal0053:
I really would like to be able to plug my droid X into my G tablet and use it as an external hard drive. This would save me loads of time swapping sdcards.

Though I don't think this is possible because most phones need drivers to be mounted as external storage.

When I do plug the DX in via microusb to usb (haven't tried miniusb yet) the DX recognizes that it is plugged in and starts charging. The DX also says that it is connected to an external device and is mounted as external storage, however on the G tablet I can not see any data when I browse to the correct location.

Has anyone else tried this and got it to work?
[G Tablet General] prscott1:
When I plug my N1 to the tablet, I immediately get the USB notification on my N1. I turn on storage on the N1 and my tablet can browse the sdcard on my N1.

If you use ClockworkMod or AmonRA on your Droid, you can go into recovery mode and set the mount to USB and that should work as well.

EDIT: If you are rooted on both devices, you can use dropbear or an ssh client (like QuickSSHD) on your Droid and then ssh to it from the tablet using File Explorer or AndFTP (need to be on the same wifi for this solution to work).
[G Tablet General] lordgodgeneral:
I've tried this with my Droid 1 and get the same thing. The droid shows its connected, and allows me to mount usb, but when using any file explorer and browse the the usb device, it only shows an empty folder.

I've succesfully used wifi file explorer when they're on the same wifi network.
[G Tablet General] Hal0053:
Depending on speed wifi file explorer might work perfectly!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derhannes1983:
Hello!

I do not know where to ask this, so maybe I am wrong in this topic, I apologize for this.

I would like to translate an existing ROM to German, the Ultimate Droid 2.5.0 ROM. At the developer's forum nobody responds to my questions, but I really love this ROM and would like to have it in German.

I do not need any translator or translation help as I am a translator for English myself, I only need advice how to unpack the files, espacially which files I need for this, and how I repack and flash the whole thing again.

Thx in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
Somewhere in the XDA forums you will find an application called apktool.

Download it and extract it somewhere.

Then copy inside the applications folder the framework-res.apk file.You gonna find it inside the ROM you re trying to translate.In the same folder you should copy all the applications that you want to translate.

So now you need to decompile each and every one of them.

Run CMD.EXE and browse to that folder.Then type:

apktool if framework-res.apk

apktool d framework-res.apk (where framework-res.apk it can be anything..e.g Mms.apk,Settings.apk,Browser.apk...)

You will see a new folder named framework-res.Inside that folder you ll find another one called res and inside it another called values.From the values folder you should translate strings.xml and arrays.xml(if available).

Do this for every application that you want to translate.When you re done with the strings let me know and i ll assist you further.

Thx Ivanovic for your help, everything works fine with apktool. Now I got the folder u mentioned. I got the code:

Do I need to translate the whole <string ... </string> set or "only" :D the things between > and </string>, like >Select all</string>?

I also got some folders called values-... in my directory now, do I need to do something there? I attached a screenshot where you can see what I mean.

Thx in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
Only the stuff between <string> and </string>.

Only the xmls inside values or values-en.The strings are usually located in the strings.xml,arrays.xml and plurals.xml.Only the first is allways there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derhannes1983:
I am done so far with the framework, I translated both strings and arrays in the values folder, now I tried to open the settings.apk, but I got the following:

How can I solve the problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
You dont need to do the if settings.apl

This is only for framework installation :)

Which means:

apktool if framework-res.apk

apktool d framework-res.apk

apktool d Settings.apk

apktool d Mms.apk.....

You install the framework using the if framework-res.apk and you decompile the APKs later using d XXX.apk
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derhannes1983:
It works fine. What do I need to do to rebuild the ROM later?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
Did you just decompiled all the APKs and translated the strings inside the values-folder?

If yes then use the following command to rebuild the APK

apktool b ./folder name of the decompiled apk goes here/ newnameoftheapk.apk e.g apktool b ./settings/ SettingsDE.apk

In a while you ll see the new APK.Right click on it and open with 7zip.Do the same for the original APK too(Take it off the zipped rom and place it in the dekstop).Then having both APKs opened with 7zip drag n drop from the new APK to the old the file resources.arsc

Do the same for every APK that you have translated strings.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derhannes1983:
I am done with the translation of the needed files, I attached the decoded files and the error log I get when I try to repack the whole thing. Something is wrong with the public.xml, but I got no idea what to do. Maybe you can find the problem.

Merry Christmas btw :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
First of all create a folder named values-de (inside res folder).

Thats where you keep your translated files.Strings.xml,arrays.xml and plurals.xml

Only strings.xml is always there.The other two not always.

I downgraded my Legend from the OTA 2.2.

Now the ROM version is 1.31 which should be correct, but the HBOOT version still is 1.00, which is according to this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746454 ) the wrong one, it should be 0.43.... any ideas on this one?

Edit: @MontseCat: have you installed your USB drivers? The come with HTC Sync from the HTC homepage. Otherwise you can check adb functionality by opening a console window, running 'cd C:\Absolute\Path\containing\adb.exe\' (for Windows users, I guess Linux users know how to use cd) and then 'adb devices'. This should show a number refering to your device, opposed to simply nothing if it is not working.

I currently have my legend working with HTC Sync, witout problems, so don't undesrtand, shall I remove an reinstal it after installed android sdk to?? or..

[Legend General] nae64:
No, that was just my problem at first when I had to move to a Windows PC for the downgrade, adb requires HTC Sync. So you should be fine.

But now that I read your problem again, my solution would not even fit :D I guess your tools directory does not contain the adb.exe. But the directory platform-tools in the android-sdk folder does. I just copied over the contents of the hack zip to platform-tools and did it from there... what ever, now I am having the problem i described above...

what whall I do now?
[Legend General] janarp:
- Temproot with VISIONary r13 (install the downloaded file as per a normal APK)

- Once you are temprooted, connect via 'adb' and do 'su' (to get root) then '/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img'

You should then be able to downgrade in the normal way.
