[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maff1989:
I've been having this problem since the first installation of MAGLDR; The "Orange LED" bug, as most of us know, prevents the phone from charging while the phone is off, and the LED remains orange even AFTER the phone is unplugged. I've found a few circumstances where this will occur:

1. Powering down the phone with USB plugged in causes this issue with most builds

2. Same as #1 but when doing a reboot

3. Phone dies, then plugging USB will bring about the "orange LED" bug

I've found a workaround for these as I'm sure MANY of you have already, but I wanted to post a thread just for people who haven't found an answer yet. The following list corresponds to the items above:

1. Unplug USB before selecting "Power off" on your device

2. " " " " "

3. Kinda tricky.. a) if phone is COMPLETELY dead, pull the battery, plug USB, THEN replace battery, and b) If phone has battery and is OFF, power on phone, wait until "GO! GO! GO!" screen disappears, and then plug in USB.

I think the problem comes about when finishing the installation of your ROM via MAGLDR, OR it could be a bug within MAGLDR itself. It could quite possibly be the kernels, as JDMS' UltimateDroid ROM did NOT cause the orange LED when a REBOOT was performed...

Well either way, I hope this helps some people avoid this problem and gives the dev's something to work on.. Not that their work goes unappreciated ;)

Or do like me. Leave the phone on, put it in flightmode and charge it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maff1989:
yeah. that makes sense... Maybe you should make a new thread?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
How would this help if phone is completely dead? Seriously, this could be useful. Can someone try this and confirm?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htc-hd2:
I'm afraid to answer here as the OP might get upset, or tell me to start my own new thread.

Anyway. As I like to help people I will answer your question.

I bought a new battery for my HD2, and it did not have enought power to power on the phone (running NAND).

Not sure if this fixed the charging problem, but I removed the battery for +/- 30 seconds, reinserted the "dead" battery, plugged in the charger.

After some time (seconds) the orange battery came on, and the battery was beeing charged.

I left the phone charging for some time (expecting the light to go green when done), but it never did (NANDproblem?)

So after 1/2 day of charging, I disconnected the charger, and guess what.. the oragne light was still on.

Again I removed the battery, reinserted it again, and powerd on the phone.

The battery was fully charged, and I'm now enjoying 2 to 3 days of phone use before needing to charge it again.

Now.. I'm not 100% sure about 1st connecting the charger, and reinsering the battery, or 1st reinsering the battery and than connecting it to the charger.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qaliza:
I'm having charging issues but in a different way.

when i plug the charger to the phone while the screen is off, the LED does not light until I i press the red button (actually any button) to wake up the screen.

Is anybody having a similar issue?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rc_bandit_973:
Excuse me for my english in advance.

I have the same problem like you, but for me is not a big problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qaliza:
This is not a problem for me too. The real problem is with whatsapp

when ever someone sends me a message on whatsapp while the screen is off, i dont receive it until i press the power button to unlock the screen. So i thought this might have anything to do with the charge issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
I have no problem with this bug,he it is on the charger,so why turn it off is my question.....i just turn the sound off lol.

Would some please either and/or

A) Make an update zip for colored notification icons, which should include colored notification icons for most common apps like Gmail, SMS, Google Voice, etc etc.

B) A Link where I can save all the icon .PNG images and use Ninjamorph to sort of manually do it myself.

A is more preferred since most of us are lazy lol.

Thanks if anything.

I used the QDL tool to upgrade from 1.6 ATT to 2.2 dell update. My battery now drains like 1 percent every two minutes. If I charge it it shows the charging Icon but the percentage keeps going down. If i take the battery out and put it back in then the percent goes up. Example, Streak shows 43 percent, charge for 20 minutes, take battery out and put back in - shows 60 percent now, but starts to go down. Gets to 40 percent, take battery out and put back in, now shows 57, etc.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] stoney73:
Hi, have you tried a factory reset? it often fixes this sort of stuff. remember to save everything before-hand though.
[Streak 5 General] macnplay:
I am on 2.2 3.18 updated through the qdl tool and my battery seems to be draining rather quickly too. I am going to try a factory reset and see if that helps. Anh idea how.long a battery should last under heavy useage
[Streak 5 General] keithdphan:
I reverted back to 2.2 318 only because battery life with 2.2 w/ performance fix drained the batteries too fast for my liking. I think dell 318 is better but not outstanding on batterylife. I'm sticking with 318 for the time being. Hopefully the streak will be updated to 2.3 and that rom will be more economical on batterylife.
[Streak 5 General] emma999:
I did do the factory reset and reran the QDL tool and was able to get the 318 performance upload. Now when it charges the numbers go up not down (big plus), but it still drains a percentage every minute or so. When I take the battery out and replace it, it goes way back up. Not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for the input.

The battery meter is not correct. I am wondering is there a driver or something that can be reinstalled to override the current battery meter? Or any other way to fix the battery meter so it captures the correct battery level?

Thanks

Does having a captivate manufactured 1007 differ from a 1009 in GPS issues and can the 1007 be fixed to work properly
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
GPS

Yes, the GPS differs becoz the internal GPS scripts in the ROM manufactured are different based on the device.

Flash a good MODEM (JK3, JK4, JL2, JL3) and tweak the GPS to set the server and delete GPS data!!!

Hello,

I just got my sgs from repairs ( yes sd card failure) it has 2.1 installed.

So should I update it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daylefmp:
Are you planning on remaining on the stock ROM or flashing custom ROMs ?

JL2 has a bootloader which makes it difficult to go back to 2.1 if you decide to. Not impossible, but you'll have to be comfortable flashing with ODIN...

It also has the 3e Recovery which means that you can't flash non-signed update files, or use Clockwork / Rom Manager...

Otherwise, it's fairly fast and stable. And some reports say it fixes the internal SD card issues....

So it all depends what you're planning for your phone :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravi31naik:
First i am thinking of official 2.2 rom from kies. if it works for a month or so them i might put some custom roms
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
The stock JL2 sounds as stable for this phone as any other stock firmware (with JK4 being the obvious exception). My replacement phone came with JL2 which I then flashed with one of the custom ROMs (so far so good). I know there's speculation that JL2 somehow fixes the internal sd corruption issue but I haven't seen any credible reports where it was confirmed the phone was actually bricked (as opposed to a problem that would likely have been fixed by flashing a number of other ROMs) so I wouldn't flash it for that reason.

[Desire HD General] PG101:
What steps did you follow..

I have read tht you must temproot first and then permroot..

Also there is a very nice radio flashing guide floating around.. i have made a backup so i will copy paste it for you here..

1 download android sdk extract files to c direct to c drive rename androidsdk

2.open file click sdk manager let open then click accept let it install every thing

3. Open platform tools copy the 2 adb files as per previous post page 190 by tmh ( I think)to tools folder

4.open file downloaded from post 1st post extract to desktop easier to find

5. Open androidsdk tool folder then drag and drop radio.img in

6. click on start menu type cmd then click on the file

7.once open type cd/ press enter

8.type cd androidsdk/tools/ press enter

9.at this point make sure phone plugged in via usb and turned on as normal type in adb devices this will find your phone a show your serial number if this fails you will need usbdeview to uninstall all drivers to start again if it shows serial number carry on

10. Turn fastboot off on phone and power phone down.

11. Once powered down reboot phone while usb plugged in holding volume down and power button till white bootloader screen appears

12.use volume keys to navigate to fastboot( should be top of list ) press power button

13. Back on pc in cmd it should still read c:\androidsdk\tools> (if not repeat steps 6-8) once at this point type fastboot flash radio radio.img press enter wait till it flashed the c:\androidsdk\tools> will be back waiting for next command

14.type fastboot reboot press enter your phone should reboot at this point once rebooted you can check it flashed in settings>about phone

You need a sdcard installed and permroot.

umm doesnt "ACE PVT ENG S-OFF" mean you have S-OFF ??

and why make things complicated why not use jkoljo one click tool from HERE
[Desire HD General] PG101:
Eng Off = Radio S-OFF
[Desire HD General] cattleprod:
ENG s-off is just the hboot been patched so it tells the radio the sercurity is off

were radio s-off is the sercurity is off
[Desire HD General] Yoshi_523:
:eek::eek::eek::eek:

NOOOOOOO please do not post **** like that if you don't no what the difference between Radio S-Off and Engineering S-Off. I just found out as did many other people that there is a big differnence. I had Eng S-Off and not Radio S-Off and loaded LeeDrOiD 1.3 (containing HTC's new security "feautured" 1.72.405.3 ROM). Now I am permanently locked out from doing a Radio S-off and I cannot get R/W access to the system folder. Who knows what else root aceess is limited. PLEASE EVERYONE LOAD RADIO S-OFF. To make sure it's active look for more info or system info on the bootloader after installing clockwork recovery (hold volume down when powering on phone). It must say CID:111111. You don't want to see CID-VODAP021 or CID-HTC__001 or anything else. Anything then other than 111111 means radio is S-On!!
[Desire HD General] PG101:
LOL... my bad!! As you say it in the first line of your post .. you just found out yourself!!

Control your emotions though champ!!
[Desire HD General] afrcom15:
You need to take your own advice and stop posting **** too, highlighted section of your post is total bull****. Not a chance in hell that flashing Leedroid's rom could lock your phone
[Desire HD General] Juevani:
My phone is perm rooted and I have Hboot S-Off which means I can bypass/trick the security when installing roms and etc but its limited, I cant flash a new radio.img because the not limited security (ie. Radio) is still S-ON (in other words I dont have CID111111)

Thank for the replay, but please read what I wrote before answering, its stated clearly that my phone is perm rooted and ENG S-OFF but not Radio S-OFF.

it would be the easiest way even thought I like to do things manually to be sure of what Im doing, but right now Im willing to try it out, the only problem is I dont own a Windows PC, only a Mac and there is no such software for Mac :(

Please read my first post carefully and see if Im doing something wrong because I've become immune to see my own faults now..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borat38:
Saw a thread here about how a certain program seemingly crashed a custom ROM. So I wanna know if there's any custom ROMs that already Chinese language inputs? (Specifically pinyin and strokes input). There are four threads here at Android Forums about the topic, but none seem to be similar to my question.

Rooted Stock Froyo 2.2 perhaps?

Am trying to learn writing some words in Chinese, and I find that the phone makes for good practice away from home. Thanks for any help, guys.

btw, my Desire (Froyo) was rooted using unrEVOked 3.22, and I'm still trying to learn how to S-OFF and partition the SD card for now. The flashing of the custom ROM would logically come after S-OFF and partitioning, right?

Hey guys im in the process of doing a little experiment to see actually how much Juice Defender with Ultimate Juice actually improves the battery life on my Evo4G. I'm sure this has been done somewhere else i just couldn't find it so i decided to do the experiment myself and post my findings this may be useful to some people or may not!

Phone: Evo 4G

ROM: Cyanogen Mod 6.1.2

Kernal: Zendroid BFS @ 1.52ghz w/ smartass scaling

Launcher: Go Launcher

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phone running Juice Defender With Ultimate Juice

Phone Unplugged At 11:42am

Phone Died At 8:59pm

Usage: For the most part it was moderate use, no gaming, 2 calls lasting for a total of aproximatly 45 minutes. 120 texts were sent and received 146 within the time frame. There was no browser usage just mostly texting like i said. 3 Pictures were taken. No Wifi. Bluetooth or 4G used either.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phone running without Juice Defender With Ultimate Juice

Phone Unplugged At: 2:50pm

Phone Died At: Never

Usage: Well my phone has been unplugged since 2:50pm and its now 12:35am and my battery is sitting at 55%. Weird... very weird. I had about the same usage as yesterday i played 1 game for a total of probably 10minutes and installed 4 apps. A had wifi enabled for probably an hour total.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Thought: I think Juice Defender doesnt help at all, infact it seems to hurt your battery more than anything. I think it may be because its constantly turning things off and back on consuming battery? Thats the only thing i can think of. Does anyone else have any thoughts on why this is? Using Juice Defender reduced my battery life dramatically it almost cut its life in half as a matter of fact. Please share your thoughts on why this is people!
[Android Software Development] beanx:
bump bump bump!!!!!
[Android Software Development] imneveral0ne:
thanks for the info. i try to tell people that juice defender doesn't help. but no one listens so i gave up and just tell them cool app and walk away lol.
[Android Software Development] n1ghtl1fe:
very helpful post. I noticed too it doesnt seem to really help it just monitors mobile data and turns it off when screen is off and occasionally powers it on to download emails and ****. I dont like it because i like to kno when i get an email instantly versus it checking every 30 min.
[Android Software Development] sundar2012:
I also found that juice defender seemed to have a negligible impact on my battery life while also decreasing speed of sync/convenience. You'll notice that it also makes android system skyrocket towards the top of the battery use list.

On a related note, I also found that setcpu profiles don't have an impact on battery life and may even hurt.

Ultimately, android is optimized to manage a lot of these things on its own and introducing an app that consumes battery both monitoring and brute forcing some of these activities doesn't make sense. The only active monitoring app I use now is Tasker for some specialized automation activities.
[Android Software Development] beanx:
i cant believe this is an app that most people recommend to improve battery life tho. Especially with how much it hurts rather than helps. Very disappointing.
[Android Software Development] drivenapollo:
It has helped mine because I use the widget to manually shut it off and on. I don't let it control it. Since the epic doesn't have the shut off data in the power menu its good for me. Otherwise I agree with you all. I keep my data off until I need it to look something up. Personal preference. But hey it does shut my data off when I tell it to.

I had been using juice defender and setcpu for a while trying to get the best battery life, but I ditched them both about a month ago and I'm getting better life than ever before lol

I've got 58% left in the battery and the phone has been up for 32 hours. I thought I was helping by micromanaging the phone with JD but I think it was really just hurting it.
[Android Software Development] jdkoren:
32 hours up and only down to 58%? Mind if I ask how you set thigns up that your phone is so energy efficient?
[Android Software Development] elegos:
It was a great application, Donut times, it literally made my Magic 32a survive the day against the not-even-a-day battery life at those times. Nowadays it is simply useless due to android better app management.
[Android Software Development] trekie86:
Hmmm...I have been using this for a few months now and I've seen dramatic improvement in my battery life. I usually unplug my phone at 7 each morning and by noon on moderate usage days I'm at 60%. Using JuiceDefender, my phone is typically at 80%. By 5pm with its only at %60. Normally I would get home at 5 and it would be around 30%. Interesting.

With more iterations of Android they are improving power managment, Ya back a little bit ago this helped some people alittle it closing out processes and way to handle things but with android development alot of this stuff is getting worked into the OS, basically now all your doing is running a app constantley that does something handled by the OS now in newer builds.

I wonder in some cases if the juice defender and the OS both trying to do power management if it can actually cause more power loss due to a conflict in the two trying to controll items. Of course OS should have higher pid but could cause some of your increased power drain using both

[Android Software Development] murso74:
i'm shocked there's even a thread for this. i put it on a stock epic and it made a WORLD of difference.. especially in locations where my signal was poor and evdo service kept dropping. my issues with it are of a different nature. seems to get corrupt alot and the wifi locations service sucks
[Android Software Development] gmorf33:
Hmm, i'm confused on how this could actually hurt battery life, especially by the amount you displayed unless you have it doing all kinds of other management as well. I have mine setup to only manage the data APN, disabling on screen off, and seem to have gained decent battery life from it. The widget to toggle data on/jd on/off is very handy as well.

Pretty sure android doesn't do anything natively that turns off data when phone is at rest/screen off, does it? Someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

I will admit, the new versions of JD do seem to be pretty bloated and sluggish.. i've been on the fence of whether to remove or not... The main reason i keep it on my device is because i work in a basement and get about 65% TWS and severe battery drain from that. With JD managing 3G, it helps mitigate that somewhat, and having it be automatic is much more convenient than toggling it manually all the time.

I may have to join you on some testing, because if JD is not gaining me anything, i'll definately be removing it as it sometimes causes some initial sluggishness when turning the screen on. From daily usage experiences (and i watch it like a hawk), my battery life has definately not been made worse.. older versions seemed to net me more life, and i'm undecided on the new versions. Not enough time with it on/off to decide yet.
