[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcr81:
I've been running Cognition 3.02 for a few days now and just noticed that my phone scans for wifi networks every 2 to 3 seconds. Wifi status says "scanning" and the the status above the populated network list says "scanning" every few seconds. Is this normal? Is there anyway to change the interval or make it manual without disabling wifi?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
I have the scanning for wifi words about every 3 seconds also, so Im guessing it's normal. What's bugging you about it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcr81:
Just concerned about battery use. I have since changed the wifi sleep policy to "when screen is off" and it's a tad better although still not great. I also have gps off. I think it may have to do with my exchange account as my wife has the exact setup but without an exchange account and her battery life is significantly better. With the sleep policy set to when screen is off, I lost 8% batter over the last 2.5 hours with no activity at all. I was just sitting on my desk. Is that normal? I find that I get the best battery life when I'm connected to a wifi network like at home. I suspected it had something to do with scanning since it seems to do that very often when I'm not connected to a network.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
If you have any custom ROM it drains your battery way more than stock. I am on pheonix 3.5 and I get roughly 12 hours while on stock I got roughly 30 hours. So yea, major decrease.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
If you are only getting 12 hours when you were getting 30, you should try a different kernel.

Edit..and the wifi scanning is normal behavior it is not the cause of battery drain.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
Any suggestions?
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Hey I was reading online that if Verizon suspects that you're using wireless tether that they can cancel your contract. Also, I read in the TOS that if you "alter your device" that it's also grounds for termination. Does that mean that if you've rooted your Droid PERIOD and they find out about it they can cancel your contract?
[Droid X General] joebob296:
yep. just sbf before you go to a verizon store or have to send it in. then they cant find out sense its out of the box condition
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Wow. That's messed up. Before today I just thought they could refuse my warranty. I didn't realize they could cancel my contract altogether. I can understand them gettin pissy about Wireless Tether since that's technically rippimg them off, but JUST rooting the phone? Due to the new electronic copyright law it's my legal RIGHT to be able to root it. Why do you think they see fit to cancel your contract just bc you've got full power over your device?
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
thats freakin bull****. if verizon cancels my contract because i have a cool theme and full control im going to court and making them give me free service forever. ;) but on a more serious note, that is definitely not the case unless verizon somehow found a loophole in the law.
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Well, the "loophole" is their TOS. Lol. Anyway, I wish I could find the link to tha again so I could show you guys the excerpt from the TOS. Does anyone have a link to that?
[Droid X General] Zudovex:
I don't know how likely it would be for them to cancel a contract since you would be walking away with a phone that retails for 569.99 and they would be losing out on about $100 per month which is probably somewhere around 60 to 70% profit.

[Droid X General] toddman:
Since Verizon has ended New every 2, this tells me they don't need to be "competitive" (Thank you iphone). I've had great discussions in the past about when Verizon gets the iphone that either their prices will go up or they'll change something against the consumer. Ending New every 2 is probably one of them and threatening to cancel on the basis of TOS infringement is another.
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Dude, every wireless carrier has the same conditions spelled out one way or another; Verizon is not special in this regard.
[Droid X General] intenselyinsane:
Good points... does it say anything about if the device has to be activated at the time? If I rooted a phone in the past but have not with my new ones. If Verizon finds out could they still cancel my plan or no because I signed a new one at the time of upgrade? Just wanted to see everyones views.
[Droid X General] gimlet72:
I cant imagine Verizon cancelling anyones contract for rooting. They make alot of money on the phone plans not really the phones. Its easier to get out of a marriage then a phone contract without penalties
[Droid X General] VIP_Supraman:
crap i was just going to root my dx
[Droid X General] TweakedSystems:
contract canceled?

I personally find this he hard to believe. I go to my verizon store quite often And everyone that works there knows my phone is rooted. I Always have to show off my new rom and my new theme. Last week I had to take my phone in because it would not charge And the service guy had to check out my phone ended up it was the charger. He was impressed with the a new Liberty Rom. He was even thinking about rooting his phones to do this. Not one employee in the store said anything about cancelling my contract.
[Droid X General] BFS1983:
I wouldn't worry about that unless your downloading hordes of data. If you bought the phone on the plan deal then Verizon looses if you cancel your contract early because the Droid X is/was a $600 smart phone. They wouldnt cancel anything unless you were costing them money. Lawyers just put that mumbo jumbo in so they give the company options to terminate bad customers.
[Droid X General] faber78:
Yep....they are gonna cancel your contact and tell you to keep all the potential money they could have made off of you over the years....all because you rooted your phone....lol.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
Man its mostly hot air n scare tactics while I was upgrading from my droid eris at the store I was taking to a rep and I asked if he rooted his and he told me yeah cuz he had a newer phone but used his eris as his internet at home
[Droid X General] hlaalu:
I doubt they would cancel anyone's contract over root. You would have to let them keep your phone for something, otherwise just ask for it back and un-root. They wouldn't be able to prove anything.
[Droid X General] A_Flying_Fox:
What would be bad about them canceling a contract over a root?

You get at walk way from an etf...
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
When you send ur phone in for replacing it goes to someone who does a hard reset anyway so Verizon really doesn't know now if something goes wrong and you take it to the store most likely they'll chalk it up with rooting.... just sbf before sending it back that being said my step dad had one and it kept booting to cwm everytime and not booting past it.. took it to the store and they sent him a replacement i sbf'd the old one and sent it on its way back
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
I already posted this in another thread, but how do I safely sbf? I've UNINSTALLED (not renamed) several bloatware apps and I wanna get them back and rename them instead. How do I do that? SAFELY. I don't wanna brick my X.
[Wildfire General] nemuro:
Bye guys.

I came to android world by having a tytn 2 which I enjoyed alot, haret-ed my ass oof, tried alot of roms back then.

I became so obsessed with android, I received a wildfire for my birthday. At first it seemed an upgrade, but then I've seen what means to have a cpu without a gpu struggling even to animate simple 2d stuff.

So, here we are, three months later and I cooked this idea I want a new phone with android. So I've gone with HD2 to be able to switch back to wm if I ever needed it at any time.

So here's my advice:

If it's your kids/girlfriends phone, leave it as is. If it's your phone and you are sick of it and it doesn't meet your expectations, sell it while it's sparkling new, to be able to get as much money off it, add some quids and get a real phone.

I will be less active on this wildfire subform, so I wish you happy buzzing days to come.

N.
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
:) sorry to hear that. However, although HD2 is not the latest phone, I would love having an HD2 because you can have dual boot with Windows Phone 7 and Android, as well as WM.

Enjoy. At least you stay on android! :)
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
The hd2 is old but it is still one of the best phones around thanks to xda
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
You could always stay on wildfire and hd2 like i do withthe tab and wildfire (from a dev prospective the wildfire is better - no kies or odin or rfs nonsense)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Agreed. Talk about versatility. :D
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
OMG the wildfire is a fake phone!!!

If it's not a real phone then what it's it? It's still a smartphone, just not a media oriented smartphone.please don't diss a phone just because it doesn't meet your expectations.

Yeah, there are better smartphones out there, with more bang for your buck and, hell, I'd love one, but I don't really need them.
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
I really agree with that!
[A7 General] alicez:
My grandson is about to receive an eLocity A7 and we have been told he would have to download/install recent firmware updates.

#1- Is this a difficult procedure for a 12 year old to do?

#2- We also learn there have been two firmware updates: Version 2.0121 and then Version 2.0124. Is that true?

#3- If he has an older firmware version on his unit, will he have to download both of these updates? Of will he need to download/install the latest one (2.0124) and that would contain all updates in previous version updates?

Please advise soonest and thank you for your help.

Alice
[A7 General] 5[Strogino]:
1. It is not difficult. Manual is there - http://elocitynow.com/support_downloads.shtml

You must learn two important things:

- copy update.zip to root directory at sd-card (and do not unpack it)

- plug in ac-adapter (if charge < 50% and ac-adapter does not used, device may turn off while update process is running -> it can brick device).

2. Yeah. It's true. 2.0124 last...

3. I think update 2.0124 contains all previous updates, cause Stream TV Networks posted their updates at same place...

You cann't find update 2.0121 at official site.
[A7 General] DANOinSD:
Hi Alicez,

Here's the link to the firmware updates page from eLocity/stream networks.

http://www.elocitynow.com/support_downloads.shtml

This provides the details on downloading and installing the update(s).

You should only need to run the latest update which will include previous patches.

This isn't too difficult, but you may want to supervise just in case.

Also, you will need a MicroSD Card to load the update file(s), in case you don't already have one.

While it is not necessary to run the updates before using the tablet. However, it is highly recommended for optimum performance. It is also worth noting that when you apply updates, you should perform a factory reset on the device before updating (unless its brand new of course). So if you do intend on running the updates, I suggest you do so, prior to using it too much otherwise you will loose your personal settings/data during the update.

Also to gain access to the Google Market, Gmail, G-Maps, etc. you will want to think about applying the DexterMod

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890042)

NOTE - the "DexterMod" is not supported by Stream/eLocity.
[A7 General] alicez:
Thank you very much for your answer.

I am sorry, but I do not understand the above.

Do you mean I should charge the eLocity A7 COMPLETELY before I input the SD card (with the 2.0124 download on it) ?

Or, should I keep the AC power cord plugged into the wall socket after I input the SD card?

Thank you.
[A7 General] alicez:
Thank you.

#1- I am a bit confused about the above "perform a factory reset."

What is that? Would that reset the unit to the factory settings that originally came with the unit? I would not have to do that since we have not received the tablet as yet. Do you suggest that as soon as we unpack it, we perform the update of the new Version 2.0124 version? Not doing "factory reset?"

BTW:

#2- What is: Google Market, etc.? DexterMod? Remember, we are completely new to all of this.

#3- Will he be able to watch YouTube Videos and access AOL (free email) and Hotmail on the unit right "out of the box?"
[A7 General] 5[Strogino]:
Stream TV Networks strongly recommends keep the AC power cord plugged into the wall socket before input the sd card and start update

But it's not necessary if charge is more than 50%. This limit isn't accurate, it may be 60%, 75% or anything more... Just notice, if you does not using AC adapter and charge equals 20% (30%, 40%) - you may face with problems, so should charge to 50%+ or stay charged.
[A7 General] alicez:
Thank you.

#1- The "Update.zip" file (93MB - big file!) on the SD card should be put into the 'slot' on the eLocity just as it is. Correct? No other files on the SD card.

#2- Then the 'Update.zip" will be unzipped by the eLocity and AUTOMATICALLY installed to the eLocity. Corret?
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
Once the "Update.zip" file is your MicroSD card and in you device do the fallowing to run the update:

Go to "settings"

Scrool down and click "about device"

Click the first option "system update"

let it update (this will take some time)

Note: The device my go into a "boot loop" if so just push and hold the power button for 15 to 20 seconds to force it to turn off. Then turn it on again and it should boot normally.
[A7 General] alicez:
Does this eLocitiy play YouTube videos (right out of the box)?

My grandson really likes watch those videos, but somebody said 'tablets' do NOT play all YouTube videos.

Please advise soonest because if it doesn't play YouTube videos, I will have to return.
[A7 General] DANOinSD:
Hi ALicez,

A factory reset is just as you stated, "a reset to factory settings", this would revert the firmware (updates, if you have any) back to what the tablet came pre-installed with.

As 5[Strogino] states you will want to charge up the tablet before doing the update, and leave it plugged in during the update process (which can take approx 10mins or more). I would go ahead and get familiar with the tablet and its menus, functions, etc. before running the update, just so you know what you're dealing with.

As 5[Strogino] states, once you run the update the tablet should do the rest (unpacking the zip file, etc).

Regarding the Google Market, this is one of the main features of the Android OS, which allows you to download and install applications from various vendors, many are free and some are for a small cost (usually $1-$3). Almost all tablets currently for sale do not have the Android/Google market pre-installed as Google has set very strict requirements for allowing this application to be pre-installed (mostly cell phones have this). Fortunately, many in the development community (such as Dexter and his Mod) have created update files that provide this application and all its glory to these tablets.

As far as using the tablet without the market, yes you absolutely can. The internet browser is 100% functional and HAS full adobe flash pre-installed, which many other tablets do not have. So, yes you can check email, watch videos, etc with no additional modifications. I will say that many popular websites and email providers have "Apps" available on the Android/Google Market that make checking email faster and easier (such as not having to use the browser to access email, and allowing for login/credential saving). So in my opinion, it is worth the extra effort to install the DexterMod which will provide these goodies. Installing the DexterMod is just as easy as installing an update. Hope this helps!
[A7 General] DANOinSD:
And yes there are some sites and videos that either do not play at all or play correctly. You Tube should be fine, Hulu does not work, but sites such as ComedyCentral work just fine for me. Also many sites such as You Tube have Apps in the Google Market to aid in this effort. Unfortunately though video is more dependent on the content (video) providers website development and architecture (optimized for mobile, etc.) than the tablet itself.
[A7 General] alicez:
Thank you.

How do we get GoogleMarket? Or if not possible, how do we get the DexterMod, so we can download free apps? Are these free items, etc. Can my grandson do the downloading by himself, or is it difficult?
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
Yes, absolutely.

There is a YouTube app that allows you to view YouTube videos. You can also go directly to YouTube.com with the browser and play videos just like on your computer.
[A7 General] alicez:
Can someone answer my question in #12 above:

"How do we get GoogleMarket? Or if not possible, how do we get the DexterMod, so we can download free apps? Are these free items, etc."

This unit already has "Getjar" apps. Is that the same as GoogleMarket? Or do I still need GoogleMarket? Please advise as we are new at this and I am trying to get this set-up so my grandson can use it to it's fullest potential.

Thanks

Alice
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
Getjar is an "App Market" of sorts that come with the A7. Google MArket is a superior Market and easier to use. I would recomend installing the DexterMod that already has the Google Market and Google apps preinstalled.

Go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890042

download the ElocityMod v1.1 and install the same as you would the official eLocity update. You have to rename it from "ElocityModv11.zip" to "Update.zip" prior to installing.

ElocityMod v1.1 is basically the Official eLocity update with the Google Market and Google Apps already added.
[A7 General] DANOinSD:
dexter mod

http://dext3r.komodin.org/

Here is the dexter mod link. About mid way down on the page you will find the elocity a7 file. Just download , then rename it to "Update.zip" and install just like regular firmware update. This will pre-install google market,etc. You may want to sign up for a gmail account first, so you don't have to mess with that part after the install as this needed for the market.

Should also be instructions on dexters site or elsewhere on this site (xda) use search bar above to find more.

Getjar is sorta like the google market but has significantly less apps available.

Also since this is for a minor, suggest setting parental controls in the settings menus.
[A7 General] alicez:
Is it the one for ElocityModv 1.0c.zip from dext3r.kamodin.org for 95MB?

Please, what do you mean by "and install just like regular firmware update?" I'm getting a bit confused and mixed-up, and don't want to do anything wrong with this new Elocity.

Also, I see in the Quick Start guide: "To delete an icon, press and hold the icon, then remove it to the Recycle bin."

We tried that and it does not work. We tried to delete the Facebook and the Amazon MP3 icons, but they still remain on the desktop. How can we remove?

Thanks

Alice

Since we needed to change Uruk logo - we have now some temporary solution (but it also may became permanent one :) ). I'm sure we also have here plenty of creative and talented people who would loooveeeee to send theirs idea and work ;)

So especially for you, here it is

UrukDroid Logo contest!​

Rules:

It has to be your work, or it's license allows to use it freely (GNU, CC, PublicDomain usually fits here)

It should be clear and usable in different resolutions (for icon, for logo, for wallpaper) - so probably photo won't be good idea

You should have picture source at least in 500x500px resolution - preferably bigger

Please send proposals as a separate posts here - I'll link them in second post, and when we have several logos - I'll start the pool

Oh what up all,

So recently I tried putting Fission 2.whateverthenewoneis Froyo on my D2g. Did a nandroid backup, installed the rom.

The only problem I had was that Fission wouldn't take me out of airplane mode. Go figure. So, I freaked, no idea what to do, and just decided I'd roll out with my nandroid backup. So now I'm back to stock, and my phone is working just as it should. So I guess my question is this:

Does every nandroid backup put you back in that exact position you were in when you made the backup? Or am I still somehow in some weird mixed version between Fission & Stock? Like a smoothie?

Also, does anybody else have the airplane mode problem with Fission? I'm thinking maybe black edition might give me better results, but probably not.

Stay Easy
