[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Ok, so have voodoo odex uvjl4 froyo rom installed and my battery seems to be draining at crazy speeds. I charged the battery to a 100% then with in 3 hours it dropped to 18% and that's with only like 30 mins of use. Tried Reconditioning the battery and clearing the battery cache but its still draining hella fast. Wtf is going on. This can't be normal. No wifi or GPS on.and only a few Widgets used. Also screen brightness is on the lowest setting. Any ideas? Thanks a million!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman818:
Try stopping some services in the settings/applications/running services. Or if you titanium backup pro, freeze some of the apps that are running in the background.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Checked that! Nothing extra is really running. Maybe its my voodoo or rom. At this rate I'm going to have to charge it 4 or 5 times a day! Seems to be dropping about 2% every few mins. Crazy :'(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Odin stock

Reflash

If problem is there, your choosing the wrong rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnydakid:
Try odining back to stock. That's battery usage I've never seen before.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Man what a pain. Guess I will just charge it 5 times a day. Not going to flash back to stock.to much of a pain.maybe my battery is bad. Going on 5 months old and many roms.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
Is the phone getting very hot? Are you experiencing glitches, crashiness or freezes?

Battery drain that severe sounds like a hardware issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
how long have you been using that rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Phone gets pretty hot but only if I use it while its charging. And seems to take like 2 or more hours for the phone to completely charge.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Like 6 days or so!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MV10:
The phone would be getting very hot with that kind of battery drain.

Maybe your battery is fried?

I'd try buying a cheap external (stand-alone) charger and putting a full charge into with that, then immediately wipe your stats upon reboot and see if it goes away.

I suspect phones can't correctly charge your battery full if the stats are seriously hosed to begin with, and even when you wipe the file it seems to assume the battery is 100% full to begin with (which means if it's super low, recharge still won't work) so I wonder if you might never actually be getting a full charge. But that's just wild-ass speculation on my part.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longsh0t:
I'm experiencing this exact same thing. To the OP..are you still have the same issue or were you able to resolve it?
[myTouch 4G General] jeebugorn:
OK, so, i know the topic sounds confusing. But my wife's mytouch 4g's battery died the other day. so, we charge it up then turn it on only to find out that every widget, every app, etc is gone from the screen. all that is left is the live wallpaper. apps and everything are still on the phone but all the links to the apps and various widgets are gone. just blank live wall paper screens. so, she manually puts everything back like it used to be, rebooted the phone and now everything is gone again. WTF? anyone know why it is doing this and how to make it not happen? she is against installing any custom ROMs (i'm working on bringing her to the dark side of android). thanks for the help.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
The first thing you should try before you do anything else is a factory reset. This sounds like a pretty weird software bug. If it continues, call T-mobile and have them send a replacement.

Is this her first Android? Is she restoring data and settings from another phone through the use of MyBackUp or similar programs? Sometimes using these programs to restore data can cause strange behavior like this, especially if that data is coming from a different device.

On first boot after the factory reset let the phone sit for a solid 5 minutes before setting up. There is first boot "thinking" going on...

EDIT - if you lucked out and got the "good" screen and don't want to warranty replace it you could always root and use the stock nandroid restore found somewhere in the mytouch 4g development section. I'm fairly certain that a factory reset will solve your problems though.
[myTouch 4G General] Kontagious:
that happen to me.... power the handheld down and let it sit a good few minutes and then boot it back up... all the homes screens should be back to normal.

idk whats up maybe its a bad batch of MyTouchs T-mo recently recieved but i had to send mine back as it kept rebooting itself multiple times a day
[Windows Phone 7 General] Lacara:
I have been having nothing but problems with any Xbox Live enabled games.

They seem to load, but then when the game starts it just dumps me back to the xbox live game selection screen.

Games Chest solitaire - it loads 30% of the time but otherwise it just dumps me to the xbox live screen.

Games Chest Logic - It loads 10% of the time, But when it bombs out it gives me a Blue screen of death for 2 seconds then it dumps me to the xbox live screen.

Fruit Ninja - this game only loads 3% of the time, It loads and then it comes up with a 0x80006000 error.

I have tried to clear the internet history, disconnect from the internet, enable wireless to my ADSL connection. but nothing seems to work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I have the games chest with solitaire in it and have had no problems.

What phone do you have?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
No problems here with any of the Game Chests, and I don't get any of your issues with XBox Live.

Sounds like you may have a dodgy phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Lacara:
I have a HTC Trophy through Vodafone Australia.

I can get to my XBox live profile fine.

I hope the next update will fix all these issues
[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
I have this problem with one of the star wars games. It goes to load a map and then I'm back at the XBOX Live menu. No other game does this for me. Restarting the phone gets it to work but it is annoying.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jordanmills:
Yeah I've been getting the same, before and after nodo. Any update yet?
[Galaxy Tab General] Falen:
Hi all,

I recently acquired the tab and I have been using it, well, like a tab.

One thing that I been unable to do is getting it to work on Marvel's website to read comics. Is there some sort of bug that's preventing this? How can I get this to work properly?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab General] agentdr8:
That site is very flash-heavy. Even with the modded flash player that I use with hulu, I can't get it to show more than the cover of some of the digital comics. It displays the white "play" button over and over which means the flash plugin is out of memory and is trying to restart.

Maybe Skyfire would do a better job there?
[G Tablet General] lilgotti56:
According to this article in Engadget.com that google will require tablets to have dual core processors.

[G Tablet General] japhule:
It also says min resolution is 1280x720 which would rule out the gtablet. Lets hope the article is not correct in that aspect.
[G Tablet General] bittrix:
...Or gives us even better reason to find a replacement screen :D
[G Tablet General] tjrhine:
Anybody have any additional information? I'm still within my 30 days and this new information makes me wonder if I should return the g tablet and wait a bit.
[G Tablet General] TeutonicWolf:
I doubt that it is correct...

Even if it is, I doubt you will be able to get a tablet with that screen and Tegra2 for the same price as we all paid for the GTablet...

Those are better-than-iPad specs -- so I'd expect to pay a premium over even the iPad
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkonei:
Need a little help please. I had been putting off updating my radio and wimax for a while, and gave in today. I wiped cache, partition, data and dalvik, and then flashed the wimax from the sd card. Now the phone wont boot. it locks into a screen similar to the one you see when you are restoring a backup (android guy, yellow arrow, open white box). i got it to boot once, by installing the battery while holding down volume and power, but it wont do it again. if i can get it into recovery, i have backups i can install, it just wont let me back in. Currently using azreal 3.0, and a modified HTC 15 kernal if its important. phone is insured, but id hate to have to smash it if i can avoid it!! thanks!!

[myTouch 3G Slide General] rogo22:
I have a white mytouch slide and aside from the blurry camera, its all good and working, but lately it started having issues where the screen would "roll" and the notification tray will end up in the middle, or the bottom of the screen. the icons only work if you tap where they Should be. or the tray, even if its in the middle of the screen, you have to swipe down from the top where it should be displayed.

at first, I assumed it was a problem with the CM6 rom i installed a week or so before the issue came up. then i reflashed the stock rom and unrooted and wiped all partition/data/cache with the clockwork mod before going back to stock.

even on the recovery screen, and the startup screen, the issue is still there, so it makes me think its hardware.

When I hold power and vol button to go to the recovery/hboot screen, i get a variant of this.. you can see the screen is split/duplicated vertically

If anyone wants more pictures of it starting up, where it shows static bar on the bottom, or when its fully booted up, let me know. Otherwise, if you know what my issue is, how do i fix it??
[myTouch 3G Slide General] agentg1001:
yea its definately a hardware problem. I've also had this issue and I resolved it by getting a warranty replacement through mail (i believe the phone comes with a 1 yr factory warranty). Check out the thread i posted a month or 2 ago http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849722
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
Yep, the ribbon cable is messed up.

This seems to be a common problem

Mine did it, a 4 other friends had it happen.

RMA your slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rogo22:
Who do I contact for that? Do I have to call TMobile, or would taking it to a TMobile store would they order one? I don't have monthly insurance, would they deny me a replacement?

Thanks for the replies btw.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] agentg1001:
You can probably just call t-mobile customer service or somethin (not so sure because my dads the 1 that talked 2 the person.) Monthly insurance is not needed, the phone comes with a 1 year factory warranty and if any defects (such as this) happen, you can exchange it. They should not deny you as long as you have your stock rom (my phone completely blacked out (nothing on screen) so i sent it in rooted and they still gave me a brand new phone).
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Febby:
Getting a replacment should be easy, try it via there online chat support, I just got a replacment processed to me because my touch screen is acting weird and out of control... stupid phone lol
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I impulsively updated my stock 3053 Gtab to 3389 via OTA this weekend. Everything was working OK with 3053, but since the update, I've had slowdowns, crashing to reboot, and some other problems. I'm aware of the kernel lag thing, but I've been monitoring cpufreq when some of these happened, plus it's not sleep-related, so I just want to go back to 3053.

I want to stay stock, and still have OTA, so I think the best way to go back is to put the 3053 update.zip in /sdcard with a /recovery/command file, but wanted to confirm that before I did that.

Can someone here confirm?

Thanks,

Jim
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yep. Should do the trick... Hopefully you won't have issues afterwards...
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Thanks. Re. Your last point, I'm kind of worried about that, but given I want to stay stock, I don't see much choice. This is behaving badly.

Jim
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I only said that because you just never know.. Without clockwork it would be tricky to fix. But if you run into troubles install clockwork, do the 2 wipes on the first page, or a partition of the sdcard if you end up bootlooped. After that install the 3053 update.zip from clockwork and it will overwrite clockwork and put you back to stock...
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Well, now you've made my day even worse... I wasn't even thinking of boot looping, etc. I was more worried that doing the recovery to 3053 wouldn't take me back completely (cleanly) to where I was before the 3389 update :)...

Oh well.

Darn! I really wish there was a more convenient way to do a real "bare metal" image, which is what I wanted to do before I tried the 3389 update. I know that I could've tried to do an nvflash to do the image, but wasn't quite sure how, so I (again, impulsively) just went ahead and took the OTA.

Darn again!

Jim
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Haha! Sorry! Maybe I should just learn to shut up sometimes and hope for the best.. Then help ya fix it later if it goes bad..:)
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
No, I was just kidding. Being aware of possible problems helps me set my own expectations. Although I did say that I did the OTA "impulsively", I had followed the 3389 stuff for about a week before doing the OTA. I guess that since things seemed to working so well for me with 3053, I had a hard time understanding the lag problem and other things that people had mentioned, so I didn't think that it was going to hit me. Now I know better...

Jim
[G Tablet General] ddarvish:
i still dont get why you just dont use one of the custom roms? why stay stock when the custom roms operate 1000000X better than stock and are updated more frequently?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I would guess because it is his, and he wants to, and so he can.. Why does it matter? Not everyone puts a supercharger on there stock cars either...
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

To answer your question, I can't give you a good/particular/overwhelming reason.

I've seen almost all of the debates ("discussions") about stock vs. non-stock, and it's just what I've chosen, for now.

I guess that if I *had* to answer your question, I'd say that I still consider myself new to the Gtab and to Android, for one thing, and I've done a lot of embedded programming (on custom, dedicated controllers), I'm still not totally familiar with and comfortable with the "tools" that are available for the Gtab.

If you go back to some of my earlier posts, esp. with roebeet, I'm particularly interested in learning ALL of the ins-and-outs about nvflash, APX, stock recovery, CWM, etc. When *I* (again, this is "my" answer) feel comfortable enough with all of those, then I'll probably start experimenting more outside of stock.

Until then, I want to continue to have the Gtab available for my secondary reason, which is that I'm doing some Android app development, and just got tired of waiting 5+ minutes for the emulator to start :)...

Anyway, like I said, this is just my answer, from my perspective. I'm sure others who are sticking with stock have their own, but I felt that you deserved an answer.

Jim
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You don't have give anyone an answer - if that's what you want, that's your choice.

There are other stock users and that's one of the reasons why we keep the links for all the stock firmware revisions, here.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I knew that ;), but I appreciate your comment.

Jim
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Now with 3452 you may not even have to go back to 3053.. Have you tried it yet?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Yes, per the other thread, I just got it updated. I'll work with it for a few days, to see if the problems are gone. Figured that if I was going to do a recovery, might as well go forward, rather than backwards.

Thanks,

Jim
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Well, I would not assume 3452 is official - my guess is that it's UAT, given that the build date is today. Usually a build would take a few days from the build date to release, at least from past experience.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yeah I thought about your dilemna when I saw the update. Then I saw you say you were trying it. Maybe they have fixed all the issues you had.. We can only hope right?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
As long as I don't get into one of those situations like you mentioned earlier, I'm no worse off :)...

[G Tablet General] thaigai:
Hey guys, I just wanted to share a simlple mod that I did with my gtablet this afternoon. It bothered me for quite some time that the home keys to the side of thescreen were not backlit. I have modified mine so that the keys themselves are not lit, but rather boxes next to them are. I only had two surface mount LED's to start this project, but with the success I've had I am going to order 2 more for the remaining 2 buttons. Have a look, If there is interest, I can take more pictures and maybe write up a walk through.

EDIT- I opted to stick with the original 2 leds as electronic goldmine didn't stock blue led's anymore. links to other colors are below

After removing the front case I noticed that the black border was just painted on the backside of the case, I used an exacto knife to scrape away 4 rectangular areas next to each one of the buttons which were now visible from both sides.

I used 30ga. magnet wire from radio shack to soldered both of the LED's that I would be mounting inside. I noticed on the backside of the metallic battery holding tray that there was a recessed channel the LED's could be tucked into and wired without interfering with any existing wires.

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2036277

I powered them by tapping into the USB ports power of 5v. In the finished picture you can see that they are well lit, but I need 2 more LED's for the remaining 2 buttons.

Overall this was a pretty simple project, and I am waiting on the LED's I've ordered to finish her up. I'm sorry for not posting more pictures, but I wasn't sure how this would turn out and did not take many while I was modding it.

The led lights follow the power scheme of the USB port. this means that anytime the tablet is powered on, or in sleep mode they will be lit. I like it that way because it's easy to tell if i've accidentally left it powered on.

I have just started uploading the pictures detailing how I have modded my gtab. below is a link to the Led's I used in this process. it looks as though they now only carry green and yellow.

[G Tablet General] TheTruth:
I love it! Why did you go with illumination next to, as opposed to under, the buttons? Capacitive soft button HW in the way? If the LEDs are angled towards the soft buttons could enough light leak through the button itself or is the HW interface there basically mated to the plastic?
[G Tablet General] Kov695:
I also wonder the same.

Nice work! How bout a step by step walk through so we can do this too?
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
Out of curiosity did you try putting the LEDS behind the actual buttons themselves or is there wiring there? I only as because i would think the light would come through the white paint better than black paint.
[G Tablet General] 1Newbie:
Also has anyone thought of using electro-luminescence film? This is similar what they used to make the tron outfits and is paper thin to boot you could span the buttons with a small strip and light them all and it can be cut in to shapes as well as long as the one power connection is still in tack.

Just a thought.
[G Tablet General] LeviathanUltima:
how did you deal with the sleep function. Ideally you would want the LEDs to turn off after you turn the G-tab to sleep.
[G Tablet General] Kov695:
VERY good point!!!!
[G Tablet General] joshua.lyon:
That is a good point. When I put the tablet to sleep, it would still wake up from a USB connected keyboard and it would continue to charge my phone / Syma S107 (mini helicopter).

Download ButtonRemapper from the market (I think it costs a buck), and set any references to Search, Home, Menu or Back to "Focus". Use Button Savior to add a little pull out drawer with the softkeys on screen.

I am going to poke around in the school supplies/office suplise of office depot/staples/target and see if i can find some small little textured stickers for just this purpose...probably the cheapest and easiest fix of all.

Hey there everyone I have a question. When reading over a forum i noticed that a user had commented this

"DJSteve had been playing with ext4 for the Dell Streak. Its not 100% reliable yet but scores in Quadrant are hitting 3000+. When added to his Froyo ROM, OC kernel and other tweaks the device is lightening fast."

Do we have any Roms that can take advantage of the ext4 file system? Because if these are the scores on a 1st gen Snapdragon imagine what we would get! :D

BTW I am running GingerVillian1.1 Beta
