[Droid X Android Development] Funnyface19:
how long did you wait it really does take a while the first time? did you mount /system (dont), wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, is ur battery charged up?
[Droid X Android Development] dzaz175:
i went back and did another wipe/factory reset and now it is booting fine. thanks for the help though
[Droid X Android Development] Breezer23:
Looking forward to the next update!
[Droid X Android Development] judasmachine:
This is interesting, and I will be giving it a more thorough test drive once the cam and gps get fixed.
[Droid X Android Development] :
Is there a possibility that these systems cannot be fixed? Two ROMs claiming to change the Droid X forever both having the same problems. And no word on Ultimate Droid in a while. Can it be done?
[Droid X Android Development] Funnyface19:
No faith.....SMH...it will be done.....AOSP is not an easy feat...if you think it is, go right ahead
[Droid X Android Development] :
I never said anything about it being easy. And its not about not having faith. Its just never been done on the X. It was just a question.
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
So has anyone figured out what is killing our batteries so fast on this rom?

Or when an update might be due? (yes I know this just was released, just have my hopes high for some fixes like you all do I'm sure)
[Droid X Android Development] :
The change log is showing some entries for 2.02, so we may see an update soon.
[Droid X Android Development] strikeir13:
Are you on the 2.0.0 release or the 2.0.1 release? The 2.0.1 has the major battery issues from the previous release fixed...
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
I was on 2.0.1..... buuuutttt I was still on the original baseband and all.. maybe that had something to do with it?
[Droid X Android Development] joebob296:
I used 2.0.1 and I still have the battery issue it is better from 2.0.0 but I still lose about 10%/hr
[Droid X Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
I wonder if it's worse when we overclock. I'm on the new system and ran 2.01 overclocked and it drained very fast.
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
I'd be surprised if it didn't drain it faster.... really there is no need to overclock with this AOSP.
[Droid X Android Development] strikeir13:
I believe I saw somewhere that overclocking somehow caused the race condition from 2.0.0 to return. That race condition was the cause of the extreme battery drain and performance issues.

I agree, it's fast and smooth enough that overclocking isn't necessary. However, using that same process to undervolt has great benefit but unfortunately currently the same problem. :(
[Droid X Android Development] xCHPx:
Can't wait til this becomes a stable ROM. Sounds like its gonna be sick!
[Droid X Android Development] :
Tried this out again the last couple days. Hard to figure what's burning the battery so bad. And it isn't a consistant usage. I was at 80% after a few hours, didn't think that was too bad, then messed with the layout of my home screen on LPP and 5 minutes later it was at 50%! Battery Usage showed 45% usage by LPP and 30% Display, usually the display is way out in front on that graph. I really can't wait for the next update, it's so damn smooth!
[Droid X Android Development] sniffle:
We know what causes the battery drain an app, in this case most likely lpp, is waking up moto's init causing a race condition to occur which causes massive battery drain. We're working heavily to figure out what in the apps is causing this to happen so that we can block it and prevent the battery drain from occurring. Look for the next release to have better control over the wake up of Motown init its going to take some time before its tottally ironed out, but with each release it will get better
[Vibrant Accessories] betasp:
Has anyone tried a bluetooth to stereo adapter for their car? I was looking at maybe the Blackberry one.
[Vibrant Accessories] percavman:
Thats not the thing that you need. What are you looking to do? Stream music via bluetooth to a fm radio? I found a piece from Amazon that I just ordered. I am not sure if it is going to work or not but I will let you know when it arrives.
[Vibrant Accessories] betasp:
That is what I want to do. Stream bluetooth to my stock stereo that only had a 2.5mm aux jack.
[Vibrant Accessories] monkey1911:
I have a Samsung HM3500 BT headset. It is A2DP via an included headphone adapter. You plug your normal headphones into the jack on the adapter that plugs into the microUSB on the headset. You could get a patch cable and connect the headset adapter to your vehicle stereo.
[Vibrant Accessories] ttabbal:
I'm using that Blackberry unit. It works great. Now I need to get a power filter and maybe a headphone amp for it, I have to turn the radio up a lot for some things like audiobooks, and it causes the radio to pick up engine noise.. pfftttt.. I do have a ground loop isolator, but the 12V in a prius is generated from an inverter so it is a little noisy..
[Vibrant Accessories] tgaume:
I love my Jabra Cruiser!!!

Do a google search (XDA won't let me post links yet) and you can find this for less than $50 delivered. I paid $99.00 for mine, but have no regrets.

All of the phones audio are relayed to an FM station on the car stereo (never been a fan of FM transmitters, but this one rocks). I mostly listen to tech podcast, and pandora going down the road.
[Vibrant Accessories] badaphooko01:
Fm transmitters suck balls especially if you live in heavily populated areas. For mine to work I had to disconnect my antenna for it to work somewhat. I listen to tech podcasts on commute everyday so I decided to install a newer stereo with a 3.5mm jack instead. $100 shipped from crutchfield with all the hardware and special instructions for my vehicle. It was worth every penny it also has HD programing which I am starting to like.
[Vibrant Accessories] ZombieDude00:
Simple Static Fix

No antenna for me why listen to any market that is just going to give me ad's plus spend 100 naw

Antenna removed works great for me no problems and the quality is great
[Vibrant Accessories] ytj87:
That Samsung Modus 3500 looks very cool. It's a more functional [edit: because it can do both phone calls and music streaming] bluetooth adapter than the Blackberry one.

Now I just have to fix the 3.5mm aux in jack on my factory car stereo!
[Vibrant Accessories] flying_squirrel42:
I have been using the Kensington LiquidAux for a few months with my vibrant. It works great for streaming audio. I found it for ~$25 in november from geeks.com.
[Vibrant Accessories] dcohio:
I have had good luck with the Blubridge mini-jack Rx, bought from Amazon.
[Vibrant Accessories] Plato56:
http://www.amazon.com/Soundfly-Bluetooth-Transmitter-BlackBerry-supported/dp/B001DDE4VY

It has everything for all situations.. I own one an love it. It even has cable line in for guests and and cable line out for those of you with aux jacks in your cars. Come with microphone and remote control. Can accept SD cards for music and usb sticks i think, never tried it. Its a true no wire solution (unless you want to use the aux for better audio than FM of course).
[Vibrant Accessories] deecampp:
I've had the Scosche BTAXS for a few months, and I LOVE it. If your stereo has an aux jack on the front of it, then this is perfect. It is easy to use, and the microphone is excellent. From what people have told me, no one can tell I'm speaking on a speakerphone when I'm using it, and the audio quality for music is perfect. It's a bit pricey, but it was definitely worth the cost for me.

[Vibrant Accessories] julienrl:
I got a JVC car stereo with bluetooth for 150 canadian about a year ago (so it is probably cheaper now \ cheaper in the states too). It was about the same price as add-on options like the parrots and such.
[Vibrant Accessories] BF_Mattwrench:
Bluetooth Car System

A couple years ago my In-law gave me a Motorola T-505 Bluetooth car speakerphone. He gave it to me because He nor His wife ever knew how to use it.

I love this thing. The quality is great, and the internal speaker sounds great by itself. The cool thing is you can press a button to transmit to the FM radio. Then you can have an phone conversation as loud/soft as you prefer. Also, for those of you who listen to music on your phone or ipod touch, you can sync it bluetooth then play it through the car stereo. My In-law was mad because he didnt know it would do that. :)

Sometimes you will have some static on the channel that you are using, but you can press a button to find another station.

You can buy these for about 45 bucks.

Just my .02
[Vibrant Accessories] chucked:
I also use the sosche btaxs. I love it. Works great. I also use it at home sometimes to get bluetooth signal to my receiver. Got it from amazon for around 60 bucks
[Vibrant Accessories] jalsing:
I tried one of these, borrowed from a friend, it did indeed exceed my expectations as I'm not usually a fan of FM Modulators. However, if you're willing to take your dash apart and do some installation, something like this:

Audiovox FM100A

works pretty good. It only has two channels to choose from, but it isolates from the antenna. Just run a 3.5mm to RCA adapter and plug in. Doesn't help for phone calls and such like the bluetooth but is good for long rides or dense areas where it's hard to find an unused channel for the traditional FM Modulators.
[Vibrant Accessories] kolyan:
i have this and it works good

[Vibrant Accessories] Mattymat:
Those are all great choices, but keep in mind that if you're on a 2.2 rom you will have severe quality loss when streaming over bluetooth (A2DP). For some reason, the outgoing bitrate is reduced (despite your audio file's quality) and higher frequencies such as Cymbals, guitars, etc distort heavily.

I think some of the developers are working on a fix though. I just thought I would give a heads up about that. Keep the great product ideas coming!!!

[Vibrant Accessories] december.underground:
That is the setup I have been using for about 2 years now with my black Berry then my touch pro2 and now with my vibrant and it works great, you just need to power the audio gateway with a power inverter that plugs into your cigg power outlet. If you don't use the inverter you will get noise from the cars electrical. Ill post pics of my setup later I am running it on my scion Xb and I love it!

To address what mattymat said it is true if your running 2.2 builds you will have quality loss and intermittent audio cut outs when reviving texts emails or some times just randomly. All in all it still works good and is cheaper in the long run, instead of having to buy replacement auxiliary cables because they stop working from wear. I have been using the same cable for 2 years now since I don't have to keep moving it or unplugging it from the phone or the auxiliary Jack.

[Windows Phone 7 General] bugmenever:
I've spent a fair chunk of time looking for a resolution to this problem here and all over the web but have failed. So, here goes...

When someone sends out a (Outlook) meeting cancellation request, it comes via email but there are no options presented that would allow removal of the meeting from my calendar. On the contrary, when I get a new meeting request, I am able to respond with an accept, decline, etc. Am I missing something? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] d.cortez:
you're not missing anything... same happens to me on my WP7 phone as well as my Android device. my workaround is to find the meeting on my calendar and manually delete it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bugmenever:
Wow, that sounds ridiculous! I am coming from a Win Mobile 6 device and do not recall ever having such an issue... Lets hope the next update takes care of this :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] swyftmeister:
Deleting Attendee(s) / Adding ad-hoc email address

Also, under WM6.x I was able to remove an attendee from a calendar entry. I cannot see any function for this. Highly annoying because if I accidentally pick the wrong contact then I have to start the meeting creation over again. Breaking the meeting creation process into two parts (meeting, then attendee association) is a partial solution but still inefficient. Especially if you are adding a lot of attendees and goof up the last one.

Oh, and not being able to add an ad-hoc email address in the attendee section is irritating. Having to create the address in your contacts/people hub first is annoying and I might not want them in there permanently.
[Windows Phone 7 General] swyftmeister:
Scratch that last moan about not being able to delete an attendee - it's hidden behind the WP7 "press and hold' trick.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsmith1051:
I've got a Hero running LiquidSense and everything's working great. Except that I dropped the phone and now the earpiece stopped working. So I was going to try and get a refurb from Sprint. I made a fresh Nandroid backup of the phone and plan to restore it to my replacement phone (assuming Sprint gives me one). But will that restore my SMS text messages, too?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
Your concern should really be can a nand on one phone be restored to another. If that's the case, then yes your sms, and everything, are in there.

AFAIK It just makes an image of the current state of your phone it really doesn't even know/care what it's backing up.

If it can be restored, it will be like you never left it. (Except for a few special things like the prl and the radio, afaik.)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsmith1051:
Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to restore a Nandroid backup on one Sprint HTC Hero to another? Assuming the original was no longer in-use?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acedickson:
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work once the new phone is rooted.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markhirt:
I'll bet they can actually fix the phone.

Yesterday my earpiece stopped working (speakermic still worked) brought it to my local non-Sprint Sprint store and 15 minutes later it was all better. They even did it for NO CHARGE (my phone is out of warranty and I have no insurance on it)

[HD7 General] Devils1stBorn:
Ok, I'm going to check into this...

Will try the email software first.
[HD7 General] Devils1stBorn:
Ok...if I setup my live mail with my HD2...Contacts and such will sync to my live account?...Not the other way around erasing my contacts on my phone, right?

I looked up instructions and it mentions that " your live contacts will then sync to phone"...I have no contacts on my live account....wouldn't want it to sync and delete everything I have...

Thanks.

Also, must add...I played around with the demo...and I I believe the GUI responsiveness is the best I've ever experienced and tested on ANY phone/OS combo...

There are some weird things about the new OS...but nothing that's a deal breaker. I like the approach that is being taken with the apps as well...quality over quantity. Netflix was a major attraction. I thought the Metro UI was gonna suck...but, it didn't. I also like the simplicity, I believe that also contributes to the speed of the UI.

Correct me if I'm wrong...the Windows 7 hack to the HD2 that these guys are working will boot from SD?...

[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
you can upload your contacts to soocial.com using their winmo app, then export the .csv file to your computer. Then in hotmail (windows live), import contacts, click on the outlook box, then click browse and click on the .csv file that soocial gives you. Then when you set you your new phone and enter your windows live id, it will push the contacts onto your phone.

So I know amoled screens save battery power the darker the backgrounds are. Are the tft screens that the g2 have the same way or is it the exact opposite?

Neither is true for traditional lcd screens. The backlighting is ALWAYS on so it doesnt matter what color is being displayed on the screen if im correct
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgifford:
I believe that PURPLE is the best color... ;) No, Im just kiddin I honestly think that this is hogwash and that its all about opinion. I think as long as you do not use a live wallpaper you are good. So Just keep that in mind.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Thanks for feeding my curiosity guys XD

I'm not really worried about battery life. This battery is just about as good as my old MT3G, which was way better than my old G1 and HD2.

Was just curious because I saw review videos of them saying how the battery life will be better with 2.3 on the Nexus S due to it being amoled and having black touches throughout the interface.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Black takes more power to display than white. It has nothing to do with the backlight though. It's only about a 3% power savings though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrenicX:
What is it that makes an LCD pixel change color? Is it a different frequency or a slight adjustment in voltage that does it? I don't know too much about it but it seems that it would need to be either one of those two right?

Wouldn't that mean that power could be saved if you tried to theme with a color that uses a lower voltage to trigger? Or frequency for that matter..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durkbeef:
If that were the case...I believe red would be your best bet... Give it a try and tell us what happens!
