done alot of messaging and phone calls today so this is actually atypical for my phone. usually after 9 hours it would still be around 50%
[Droid 2 Global General] ram130:
:D:D I had alot of calls that day..plus conference calls for business meeting.. I slept like a baby the following night lol..On avg, it's 3-4hr display on time, 1hr voice calls and the phone is dead after 20hrs..

But yea, your usage seem minimal..you should select Display and Cell Stand by so we have an idea of how long your screen has been on. Maybe media, facebook as well...

[Droid 2 Global General] RJ McKenzie:
So besides the overheating issues some have seen, is there anything else wrong with this phone. I'm thinking of switching over from a HTC Droid Incredible.

I've been having too many issues with the Incredible that I want off of it. And this phone looks to be the best Android phone on Verizon with a keyboard that I have seen.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Well, there are few issues that D2g has that you must be aware of before taking the plunge:

1. Exchange push email is broken. Motorola is working on fix, but its been quite a while (months) and still not fixed;

2. Battery life is not great. Be prepared to recharge mid day if you are heavy user. Or buy ext.battery which partially addresses this issue.

3. MP3 playback suffers popping and skipping. Issue is still not recognized by Motorola. There is still no good and free workaround for this;

4. Phone doesn't really perform great in UMTS mode, even update Motorola issued mid December breaks it even more.

Sorry if this sound discouraging but I believe everyone should be aware of these facts before making purchasing decision.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
I've never noticed #1 and 3 on my d2g, maybe its just the stock music player that does this, im using the connected media player made by motorola and I absolutely love it, I use it to play music when im at the gym. I also use push mail for my .edu address no problem.

The battery life improved with motorola's update, that and using set cpu and droid overclock to underclock and undervolt, you can get a lot of battery life out of this thing, I get a little over 3 days on one charge, and I have 2 batteries so that's almost a week I can go with no charging. I hate the fact that signal strength sucks in gsm mode, I don't know if motorola can fix it, might be a hardware issue.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
1 - push email works unreliably. Sometimes it works, others- phone can go for hours without receiving email unless manually refresh. Email poll works fine, it is PUSH that's broken. There are plenty of discussion about this especially on Motorola's official forum.

3. It is the built in player that sucks. PowerAMP from market does not have issue, but costs money.

Update 2.4.330 does not really do anything good for battery life. At least I haven't noticed difference. It surely breaks GSM support, at least in my case - using Unlocked on Rogers Canada.
[Droid 2 Global General] rweb:
I cannot follow your issue #4. What exactly do you mean?

I live in Germany and use it daily with UMTS. Never realized any problem despite the bars seem to underscore actual reception. Do you mean this?

Regarding batterie life, it's OK for me in the meantime. It almost always survives the day, for other days I always carry a spare battery with me.

Never had any heating problem.
[Droid 2 Global General] RJ McKenzie:
Thanks for the replies, The battery life thing I heard about already but I will probably buy a bigger battery for it anyways. I use a 3500 mAh battery with my Incredible right now. Makes it a bit bigger but I don't every worry about battery now.

I don't use the exchange email so that isn't an issue either.

How good is the keyboard? I used to have a Motorola Backflip on AT&T and from the pictures I have seen the keyboard on the Droid 2 Global looks exactly like the one on the Backflip. I got rid of the Backflip because of the processor was too slow and I didn't get the greatest coverage with AT&T at home.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Is yours updated to 2.4.330? When I updated mine, I started experiencing network "cutouts" so to say. Phone shows signal, but cannot either receive or place call or text message, neither data works. Until I reboot it. This happens every 8 to 10 hours. At once I got the feeling it is related to cell tower switching, but I am not sure. Looks more like that "US network band lockout" kicks in. This does not happen if using initial firmware 2.4.29. It could be related to the network I am using it on. User in Australia also mentioned similar thing. In Germany you are on 2100, so you could be fine. Neither Motorola, Verizon even less, cares about users like us who arent using this phone on Verizon's network. I wish at the time when I got my D2g Milestone 2 with north american bands was available...
[Droid 2 Global General] ds28:
I just made this same switch. I'm very happy I did it, and I don't have any major issues with the D2G, especially compared to the Incredible.

I know the Inc is a hugely popular phone, but I hated it. I used it for a couple months and just picked up a new D2G on eBay.

A few thoughts that might help you decide:

1) I love the physical keyboard. I've seen some nice HTC physical keyboards, but as you know, there's no option for that with VZW right now. I'm happy with the D2G keyboard, and it's nice to have full-screen landscape w/ the keyboard open.

2) The battery life seems comparable, even better. I also got the extended battery for the D2G. The extended battery for the Inc was huge and ugly; D2G extended battery door is only about 2-3mm thicker than stock.

3) The phone call quality blows the Incredible out of the water. I tried that EVRC-B switch on the Inc, but it really didn't make a difference. It was so bad that I usually had to use Skype/Gmail calling on my laptop to make any long or serious phone calls. I can actually use my phone as a phone now!

4) The build quality also blows the Inc out of the water. The Incredible always felt cheap and flimsy, and is all plastic. D2 feels substantial, and like it would survive a few drops. Nothing creaks.

5) Screen: Text on the D2G screen looks much better, since there's no subpixel tech going on. Very crisp, easier to read. Colors don't pop as much as AMOLED, but it's not a big deal to me.

6) MotoBlur vs Sense: Yeah, Blur is slower, but I'm running LauncherPro anyway.

7) Hackability: I rooted the Inc to remove apps, use SetCPU, etc, but wasn't interested in custom ROMs. So, the locked bootloader on the D2G doesn't bother me. Still rooted, removed bloat, etc.

8) Bump charging: I had to power off the Inc for ~30 mins every day to fully charge it. It's nice to not have to bother with that w/ D2G.

I was on the fence about this switch for a couple weeks, but am very glad I did it. If the Merge ever comes around, that might be another option. I wasn't interested in waiting any longer, and was not thrilled about trying another HTC phone.
[Droid 2 Global General] rweb:
Yes, it is. Never experienced troubles like you described. Maybe it is related to the different band.

This is weird, of course they should care. D2G is promoted as a global phone, and of course it should work for American Verizon customers who travel to Canada or Australia...
[Droid 2 Global General] ram130:
To add to the issues:

1. can't conference call properly!!

2. can't merge two incoming calls.

3. When caller 1 hangs up, instead of seeing caller 2, you still see "In Call" then when you hand up it shows both calls ending..

Same issue on my DX.
[Droid 2 Global General] RJ McKenzie:
Well I bit the bullet and got one. So far I'm liking it compared to my HTC Droid Incredible. The keyboard is very good, better than I expected.

There does seem to be a slight delay while unlocking the phone. unlocking my Incredible is more a fluid experience. On the Droid 2 Global there is a delay after the slider unlocks.
[Droid 2 Global General] punmaster:
For what it's worth, I have a D2G and I really like it. The keyboard, screen, CPU, and battery life are all better than I expected, and the thing is very well built. I was especially happy to find that I can be pretty rough on the screen without so much as a scratch. I am running the Fission ROM and Launcher Pro on mine, and I recommend it to anyone else with a rooted device (rooting took seconds). If you are having stability, speed, bloat, etc. issues with yours, try Fission and LP before you judge it. My only complaints so far are the locked bootloader and blocked GSM bands, but I guess that just makes more fun for hackers. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingcory:
Anyone know of a mod or app to increase the volume output on my desire hd. I also have a Samsung galaxy s and the volume on that is double that of my desire hd.

I also keep missing calls because the max volume isn't high enough.

Cheers Dan
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lefty83:
you can use DSPmanager if your phone is rooted. DSPmanager helps to increase the volume for calls, media etc.... there is a thread about it on the HTC Desire HD development forum.

alternately you can download a sound editor program on your pc, increase the loudness of the ringtone/music and upload the edited version back on the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingcory:
Thanks for the reply ill give dspmanager a go now.

Thanks again Dan
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betelgeuse74:
Seem to remember that ROMs for other devices had similar problems, and that it may be possible to edit libadudio.so and some other files, but since I'm not a developer I don't know if it is true.

Is DSP manager the only solution?

I often have problems with hearing what the person on the other side says.

This should have been reported to HTC, as I have not had this problem before with other phones. (Not even the HTC Magic)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamir.Badat:
But isnt it confirmed that DSP Manager drains the battery??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lefty83:
Dspmanager might cause higher then usual battery drain on cyanogenmod, not sure if it affects sense roms.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immolo:
DSPManager does cause higher drain some people have even reported 3 times the normal drain.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betelgeuse74:
Than DSP even though it solves the problem for me, is not a good solution.

I have managed to live with the volume for a couple of months now, but I hope that there is an other solution on the way.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warium:
I have had this too, i can "fix" it by rebooting, or playing music with the HTC music player and then changing the equalizer settings (from dolby and back)
[Nook Color General] gPhunk:
I have an autonootered 2.12.25 NC running ADW launcher and a few misc apps (Angry Birds, Astro, Root Explorer, Titanium, etc). All was running great until last night all of a sudden my keyboard disappeared. If I clicked on a field to enter text (search, pandora login, gmail, shop, etc) The white search box would pop up but NO keyboard. So I went to SETTINGS==> KEYBOARD and the menu starts to pop up, but then closes. I looked in system/app and I have the LatinIME.apk in there so no I didn't inadvertently uninstall it. In fact, I haven't installed

any

additional keyboards.

I also noticed that after the keyboard disappeared when I checked the Market the apps were limited to returning only like 10 apps when browsing the "Just In" apps. (All I could do since I couldn't search without a keyboard) I was thinking that somehow I must have been flashed back to non-root or something but I still had Superuser and the Market and was able to access the root files via Root Explorer. I am wiping/re - nootering now (THANK YOU Titanium!) but was wondering if anyone had experienced this or knew how to prevent it from happening again? Preesh!

P.S. Man I can't wait for a Recovery Image! :D
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Did you check in the app Nook Color Tools to see if the keyboard selection was unchecked? Just a thought. Good luck.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm still wet behind the ears, kernel wise. I have built my own vanilla Android kernels, so I have all the tools I need (I think).

For GTab kernels, does anyone have a HOWTO I can leech off of? Ie. I know that we need the tegra git, then the patch that CS supplied. But does anyone have a template .config I can work off of?

Btw, what I'm looking for is CIFS support (already being worked on here) and EXT3 support for flash drive. The latter would make me a very happen person.

Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet General] jaybob413:
Attached is a tegra .config file with EXT3, EXT4, and CIFS included in the kernel (not as a module file). Just rename to .config and build.

To configure other options as needed, just do a make menuconfig, go to the file systems menu to configure the EXT3/4 options. For CIFS and other network file systems go to the file systems menu, select "Network File Systems", then configure CIFS, NFS, etc. as needed.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks! I will play around with this.
[G Tablet General] jaybob413:
Here is an updated version that I made starting from extracting the .config from the kernel in the boot.img in your tnt_lite_v3.00 update file. This just has EXT4 and CIFS added, so this may be a better starting point. Good luck and thanks for all of your work.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
Be careful with enabling extra params which the supplied wifi module (from tapntap) is dependant on, as if things mismatch (headers; they will), the module wont load.

I am working towards breaking out this dependancy so we can be completly free.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Like vpn, I found out the hard way :)
[G Tablet General] slayher:
If you look in arch/arm/configs you will see some files called tegra-harmony-defconfig or something like that. Its part of the patch file. if you run make tegra-harmony-defconfig, it will put all the "default" values into a .config for you. Then you can run make menuconfig (or whatever make config you like)
[Focus General] Frank_Toronto:
I am beginning to think this only annoys me..lol but I really wish I could set the screen time-out to "Never" so it doesn't power down after 5 minutes.

I originally posted this issue in WP7 General as I wasn't sure if it was an OS issue or related to a specific handset.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882392

I have since learned some WP7 phones can be set not to timeout... great for navigation, music etc.

In the other thread someone did find a way in the diagnostic settings to keep the screen on but couldnt recall how he did it. I am hoping someone here may some ideas.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottietohottie:
Hello

I want to try a few different roms/ firmwares/ versions of os etc (whatever we want to call them). But I want to be able to reset my phone back to how it was out of the box. Is this possible. Some of the things I have looked at that interest me are roms that change the partitions to ext4. If I do this can I get back to stock?

I have searched for ages if any can point me at a post that tells me that would be great. One thing to note though, I guarantee that this is detailed in one of the rom postings but after looking at two that had over 12000 post on it I thought that was needle in a haystack.

Thanks guys.

P.S. If I can be pointed or can easily do it I am happy to write a how to. Presuming it isn't there already.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You need a backup of your original ROM that can be flashed back via ODIN .

I used Kies registry Patcher to download and save latest firmware .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835628

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottietohottie:
So, I'm guessing that, that means normal odin flash with the correct firmware? And I have seen them in the firmware sticky. All the files Phone, CSC, PDA are grouped into one tar file. Does that make any difference?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottietohottie:
Do I take it that the lack of response is cause this is to hard/ not known. Or is it because its just a stupid question. Either as an answer would be great. It will let me know which way to point my searches and re-searches.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierreken:
You would need to re-flash your firmware (as instructed above the Kies registry patcher is a good way to do this) + after your flash go into the recovery menu and do a reset (I believe the option in the menu is called "Wipe data/factory reset"). Maybe you can also do the reset from the settings menu in Android but I cannot confirm this.

I also format my internal and external sd-card before I star to make sure nothing is left behind but I consider myself more paranoia than others :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
The stock rom is minus the add on from your network so is not the official firmware you received with your phone .You would have to save a copy of that . I did with latest update using Kies as posted .

Saved rom is just flashed complete as PDA with ODIN .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottietohottie:
So, thinking that I am worrying over nothing then.

Looked here

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S

(Under modifications)

Gives everything and more. The bit I am worried about is if I change the format to ext4 and install a new kernel, will the stock flash remove all of these mods. Would be really great full if a simple yes would be posted by someone who has done it.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielahl137:
has anyone gotten one these pre-owned droids from there...the moto droid is only 50 dollars so i was thinking about getting it..i just didnt know if the pre-owned phones are pieces of junk.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
As far as the Eris, I'm on my fourth, and this one has been working longest, so they seem no more likely to fail, and the refurbs still have a 1 year warranty. My first I never rooted, the second I could OC to 864, the third to 787 and this one to 748. You could look at this two ways, the continual process of refurbing bad phones diffuses all the good phones out of the mix and the older the model the worse the refurb, or it's purely hit or miss. Bear in mind the stock Eris is 528 and some phones can't even hit 710, so I'm still lucky. I know you asked about a Droid, but, this is an Eris forum. Hope this was at least food for thought if not explicitely helpful.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lilhaiti:
I am currently running Launcher Pro Plus on my Aria and love it, but since I have tech ADD, I can't leave well enough alone. In comes ADW Launcher EX, I have tried ADW in the past and preferred LP over it. But with the new EX version, ADW looks tasty. The main reason I stick with LPP is the widgets, does the new ADW EX include widgets or is it just a bunch of fancy effects?

What are your thoughts? Are there any real reasons to migrate to ADW? Has any one else migrated? How do they stack up in your opinion? Just trying to see what others think.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vapotrini:
No widgets added in EX, just fancy effects.

Also, keep in mind you'll need ADW Notify just to get notifications of missed calls, texts, emails, etc. While you get that included with LP.

The app draw is another thing that bugs me on EX, the launcher doesn't minimize when in there. It sort of obstructs your view while scrolling in 3d mode.

I wanted to keep EX as my primary but the lack of widgets, the fact that ADW Notify doesn't work with Chomp SMS and the bad implementation of the app draw make me stick with LP.

The effects in EX are very cool, but there's still room for many improvements.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bdkinney:
No Widgets...just fancy effects. But they are nice...

I also have more than a bit of ADD (tech and otherwise). I actually purchased both and am also trying to decide which use.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] syrenz:
I was kind of tempted to try out ADW EX, but I remembered that Fede is currently in the process of rewriting and updating LP. I have a lot of faith in Fede's abilities and expect new version to be awesome. Besides I love my widgets and popups in LPP.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bloodflame:
I, too, have bought both. I only started using Android a few months ago, and I used ADW from the start. After a while I migrated to LPP and I absolutely love it! The widgets make the purchase more than worth it. But of course, with ADW EX being released, I took the plunge. Now I have both and find myself constantly switching back and forth. The effects in EX are just sweet, but the functionality/widgets and speed of LPP keep bringing me back.

What would be really awesome is if we could somehow use LPP's widgets as standalone widgets to use on any launcher. Only then, would I make ADW EX my primary launcher.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lilhaiti:
I too have faith in Fede...I don't know how far he has gotten with the next LP release but he should definitely include some more effects or something fun in the next release. LP is really nice but I would like it to be more "fun" like ADW. I always liked the fact that ADW can use themes. If EX was free, I would try it out just to see the effects but oh well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zoide_:
Is it just me or is Launcher Pro much smoother than the regular ADW Launcher when swiping from screen to screen? I'm running it on a Nexus One.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] misanthropic777:
I preferred ADW before and LOVE EX. It may just be a taste thing. I know EX is lightyears faster than the original ADW was, the graphics are incredible, and I find I can make it look the way I want.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zzelinka:
Yep. LPP is leaps and bounds above ADW, and then wait for the re-write. It's gonna be epic, scratch that. It's gonna be EVO! Only because I have one...
