[Touch CDMA Android Development] romandesign:
After configuring everything to work I have noticed that the battery seems draining at least twice as fast as on WM6.5. My wife's exactly the same phone has retained 3/4 of a battery by this morning from yesterday's night charge, while my Android is almost fully drained.

What could be the problem? What configurations would help to save battery? I remember in WM there is a trick to set idle data connection cutoff time which helps a lot. I can't find anything similar in Android.

I'm running a 36 kernel with "not so free super froyo" ROM on a Bell's HTC Touch CDMA, I have Google account confifured to sync calendar and contacts, and Google Apps email configured through IMAP access in Android's Mail client, set to sync every 15 min.

Is there any way to adjust how often to sync Google contacts and calendar? Any other tips?

Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] romandesign:
Also, is there an easy way to replace battery icon to one with percent indication, or a specific widget to place on the desktop?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] goducks3620:
I'm running Superfroyo (which has a percent indicator) on a Sprint Touch, and my battery life isn't too hot either although the FAQ here indicates the reads are just estimates based on the heat of the battery. I am keeping an extra charger at work and another in the car, there are cheap OEM ones on ebay.

Two things--

1) if you go to settings->about phone->battery use you can see what is pulling juice since the last recharge.

2) my house has great cell coverage, my work does not. I noticed that that my battery barely budged yesterday at the house after the phone was on but not being used. For the 14 hours it was unplugged but only picked up once or twice, it went down maybe 10% tops. So I am guessing strength of signal is huge, because it drains much faster than that at my work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] romandesign:
OK, I have solved this issue.

Problem: All HTC Touch CDMA (vogue) users know that battery is not its strongest point and active data connection suck the juice quickest. But what I have found (I'm sure I'm not the first here, but I could not find this in the forum) is that Android is different from WM in syncing calendar, contacts and email. In WM6.5 you can set sync and email to check at specific time intervals, after each request the data connection is automatically closed (and this idle time can also be adjusted in registry). In Android we can't set this time interval, because Google sync in Android uses "push" technology by design, so your web email, calendar and contacts sync instantly when changed. That means that the data connection is constantly open and when Google server "ticks" the phone, it gets the email. That's the main reason for the much faster drain.

Solution:

1. I'm now using regular Android Mail client (not Gmail) to retrieve email from Google Apps/Gmail by standard IMAP interface, where you can set how often it checks for email.

2. I have turned off "background data" and "auto sync" check boxes in "accounts and sync settings".

3. I have created a shortcut on the desktop for "sync" settings that allows me in a few clicks to manually sync contacts and calendar. I don't need it synced often. I would prefer an option to sync it automatically every few hours or once a day, but I could not find any means to do so.

That way I still get my email checked every 15 or 30 min (or whatever I prefer) and calendar/contacts are synced manually on demand. Battery drain looks normal now, which means it should be at least enough for a full day of use (like WM).

Another issue:

I did have a couple of spontaneous reboots for no reason. Anybody knows why it can happen? I'm using latest builds of 36 kernel with "not so free super froyo" ROM on a Bell's HTC Touch CDMA.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Josue_181:
Wow very good explanation what configurare in my Vogue if I notice that the battery lasts longer I comment..

The sporadic restarts remember that Android is not 100% stable, everything is a matter of testing between several ROMs and see which is the most stable and best meets your needs. I tried about 10 ROMs android before to decide for which currently I use what is Fresh Froyo which is not perfect but it is pretty stable and fast.

Greetings and again thanks for the information.
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
I recently copied my 1920x1200 wallpapers from my PC onto the Tab, but when I set any of them as wallpaper you can easily tell how bad/low quality they become. I read somewhere that the Gallery app does this, but I couldn't find any other app that sets wallpapers! Even root explorer or Astro points to the Gallery.
[Galaxy Tab General] le3ky:
Doesn't sound like the gallery app to me. Sounds like those wallpapers are too high of a resolution. When you set it as wallpaper it has to resize which is causing the poor image quality.

Try setting the wallpapers to the resolution of the tab, they'll be good then.

N.B the gallery issue doesn't touch your images, just the way they are displayed in the app
[Galaxy Tab General] heru:
Yes, it's gallery which makes the wallpaper blurry. Try QuickPic, you'll see the difference. Myself, I'm using MultiPic live wallpaper, so I can have different pic for each page.
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
Now it works. I used a wallpaper chooser/creator app called dodol wallpaper and now my wallpaper is displaying high resolution images.

I don't know why Gallery app is down sizing the quality when setting a selected image as wallpaper, infact, I have no idea how this whole thing works lol.
[Galaxy Tab General] futuregerald:
thank you sooooo much for this thread; i never knew what caused all the wallpapers I set to be so low quality, i just couldn't figure it out and I assumed since no one was talking about it that either it was my tab or that's just the way it was and I'd have to deal with it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuloop:
g`Day..Mine Desire A8181 has overheating problemm last 6 month. Its PVT1 ship S-ON.

I can not send it to HTC because he had violated the void seals. Now Im looking for part of MOB that that contains a processor. In htcrepairparts.com there is a full MOB in stock. Is anybody know what part is causing the problem of overheating?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xp4nd3r:
are you talking about overheating to the point where it restarts? i think all desires heat up a lot in general. I've noticed that when im using it while its charging the battery can heat up to over 40 degrees celcius, try installing an app or widget that shows you the battery temp so you can monitor the situation and see when this happens.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICO187:
mine is doing the same thing randomly. at times in the middle of a call & it reboots :mad:

or if i'm browsing through my apps.

i've downloaded a temp monitor app on USB to pc as most of the day it is 34C/93F

40C it reboots & continues to try until it's cooled enough. 39C it allows to reboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xp4nd3r:
Is your device overclocked? If it is it might be a good idea to underclock it using an app like SetCPU, that will definately keep your cpu temp lower.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuloop:
No mine desire freez on HTC logo and cannot boot anything. It happens after OTA upgrade to Froyo 2.2 and now i have HBOOT 0.93. I tried some methods of downgrade HBOOT but nothings helped. Now I thing to change a part of MOB that may cause the overheat issue - to prevent freezing and rebooting device. When it was working desire may take 40C and then reboot, but when I used GPS it rebooted within 5 and more sec.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuloop:
I wrote a letter to the HTC to clarify the situation with the reboot. In response, was asked what I was doing with the phone before he began to reload. Because the serial number shows that the device is locked by the T-Mobile. Should I look for t-mob stock ROM if device was unlocked and I have goldcard?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] catracho713:
so a couple of days ago i accidently flashed wrong radio and spl to my mytouch. I've created a gold card but everytime im in fastboot it never picks up the SAPPIMG.IMG it always says."Loading no Image." so what do i have to do get it back to stock everything? and yes i've googled multiple threads
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Corvus Corax:
Try to install new SPL, Radio and Hboot with Radio Switcher: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794450

Enter Fastboot, plug in USB, start the Radio Switcher and flash the files. Try couple of times and in different order if it doesn't work at first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
My Touch 3g 1.2/Fender

I have had similar problems before but when trying to un-root. I successfully fixed mine by using the ENG. SPL 1.33.2010. All attempts at using my Goldcard failed (the same goldcard I rooted the phone with I know it's good) so I flashed the ENG. SPL and everything worked. Hopefully your ENG SPL is functional your radio and original SPL will be restored when you fastboot the SAPPIMG.zip.

Look at your SAPPIMG you can't use the .nbh for the older magics.

PS- If you need help don't hesitate to E-mail me I do not want you to brick your device. If you need to go to Cyanogen Mod forums I'm in Dream/Magic Themes mostly my E-mail is there on my profile, GOOD LUCK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:

With that being said, boot into fastboot holding back+power and post what you see there.

Start at step 4. I'm assuming you still have ADB installed.
[Wildfire General] jazzzy786:
This may have been asked before in stages but a thread stating the full process would be nice.

I am using Cyanogenmod 6.1 (nightly) on my wildfire. It works nice apart from the video recorder and the wifi which has an issue of freezing streaming of video after 5 minutes.

Before putting on Cyanogen I backed up my original ROM to nandroid and also a copy of my sd card to pc. Since then I've got my phone setup nicely with a lot of apps free and paid and ADW launcher customised.

The thing is I'd like to try one of the other custom roms and would like to do a full backup of everything. I'm a little unsure of the apps required and whether a restore will get my phone back to the exact state it is now with full customisation of ADW and all my shortcuts on seperate screens etc including some custom icons using pictures on sd card.
[Wildfire General] Markerton:
Download Titanium Backup from the Marketplace.

When you start it up, hit Menu and then Batch. Scroll down to Backup all system and app data, or something along those lines.

Once you reflash, download Titanium Backup again and hit Menu, Batch, Restore all apps and data.
[Wildfire General] argeoff:
If you just want to try out other rom, then a nandroid backup is for you. Think of it like a image capturing all your settings,apps and rom.

As for transfering apps, then you will need Titanium Backup.
[Wildfire General] jazzzy786:
So will the nandroid backup just backup my cyanogenmod rom with its pre-installed apps or does this include google apps as this was a seperate flash? The Titanium Backup of apps sounds good but what about my shortcuts and layouts of widgets/apps and settings using ADW launcher?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Nandroid backs up the whole thing in case you fudge up a new install. Titanium backs up your apps, data and settings.
[Wildfire General] argeoff:
ADW launcher has a backup and restore function :cool:
[Android Software Development] Spazzt:
Hi,

I'm about to develop a little App and wanted to have a little Call-Button to call a fixed phonenumber(not in contactlist)

So I used this code:

public void onClick(View src) {
switch(src.getId()){
case R.id.ButtonCall:
Intent phonecall = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:11112222"));
startActivity(phonecall);
break;}
}

But wehen i run the App in AVD or also on my HTC Desire Stock Rom it always throws an Error : "The Application XYZ (process com.yyy.zzz.) has stoppen unexpectly. Please try again."

But when i use ACTION_DIAL it works, well it don't dials the number but the dial button shows up with the specified number...

So 1. what is my failer in the code (android.permission.CALL_PHONE is set) and 2. is there a possibility to prefent the app from crashing with ACTION_CALL and than use ACTION_DIAL instead? (Kind of Errorhandling...)

Thanks Spazzt ;)
[Android Software Development] Spazzt:
Ok, sry the error was that the permission was not set correctly...

But what when the user dont grants the permission, how do i do such an "error" handling? Or how can I test if the user has grated the permission or not and then if not use DIAL instead?

Idear?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I have been having problems with rotation. I am beginning to think I have a problem with my hardware, but here is the problem:

First off, I am experiencing this with multiple ROMS: Cognition, Perception, and Assonance, various versions on all.

ALWAYS...when I first flash, it works fine. Within a few days it may quit, and it may start back up. But ultimately seems to stay off.

The problem is, that I am thinking that when I call for AT&T to report it, they will tell me to do a hard reset, and it will work again. (I actually don't know for sure if hardwar reset seems to fix it or not).

Anyone else fighting this? Any thoughts?

[EDIT]

I just did a hard reset, and yes, rotation came back. It must not be hardward, but I can't imagine what is killing it. Quite frustrating.

No, i haven't tried any other radios. I'm not too familiar with other radios to be honest or what they exactly do. Can they be installed after I did the installation of Android? Would it be best to just start all over? If, so how do I go back to factory settings?
