[General Questions and Answers] PreJudgement:
Hey, since I can't post in the main thread since I'm a new poster I'll just ask here. First off I'd like to give my thanks to the developers of this ROM, its awesome :)

But, there is a problem. It literally _kills_ my battery. I've been searching back and forth on both google and these forums, but I mostly end up with posts about "recalibrating" the battery (recharge, unplug, recharge, wipe battery stats). I've tried this, but still I lack battery power for more than 8 hours of idle time (my phone shuts down in a nights sleep if it was fully charged right before going to bed).

At first I thought that my battery was singing its last verse, so I flashed the original ROM for the Hero. The problem was not there, so I have to assume that the ROM is doing something it shouldn't.

If anyone has any experience with this ROM and kernel I would really appreciate some advice on what to do as the ROM is far better than the stock rom for the Hero.

Phone: Hero standard european.

ROM: FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock

Kernel: 2.6.29.6 Hero_Kernel-12pre2esa elelinux-notebook #4

Thanks in advance

Hi, I've recently installed MIUI-Au on my Desire. Think everything went fine, but when I install apps now it still seems to install on my internal memory instead of ext3. Under SD card settings it tells me A2SD+ has a total space of 504mb and available space of 462mb and my internal memory only has 16.39mb left. Is there anything I have to enable to make the apps install on the ext3 partition instead?

THanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxipod:
I've read that already, still doesn't solve my problem though. I assume A2SD+ is working because it shows up on the SD card info and Quick System Info when I load it.. is that assumption wrong? Whenever I install an app, almost all the data is installed on internal memory and then I get the message memory is full while A2SD+ is almost completely empty.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grentuu:
What does quick system info say?

It would help if you post what it states in terms of internal, external, ext...

For me that has been the most reliable in terms of accuracy.

Mine

A2SD total 0.98gb Free 772mb

Int total 151mb Free 105mb

System 250mb Free 23.23mb
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
A2SD+ still does not install everything on the ext partition, that is why you can have the low memory message without having filled up your ext partition.

If you need more space look in to using data2sd or changing hboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grentuu:
As he says lol...look at my internal!

Thats why I asked for stats..almost completely empty may not mean empty

[General Topics] Sorensiim:
After getting a lot of flak for selling locked down phones with crappy support from the company, things got a little heated and a Motorola rep told people that if they wanted hackable phones, they should buy them from someone else. Much outrage and Moto quickly told everyone that they REALLY loved dev's and rooters and much would be changed to make their phones more mod-able: http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/21/motorola-ready-to-make-sweet-love-to-rom-devs-and-rooters/

Sounds great, but a lot of people (including me) remained sceptical. We wanted to see it with our own eyes instead of just believing their good intentions, but hopes were high. Then last night, this popped up: http://community.developer.motorola...pment-for/Cliq-BlurCamera-apk-libs/td-p/11290

Wow, way to support your devs, moto! Notice the wording "One of our devices"... A lot of us were up in arms on twitter, but then MarkAtMotorola, their official spokesperson for social media, swooped in with this little gem:

To which I replied:

Expecting a polite disclaimer, I was rather surprised when MarkAtMotorola tweeted this:

So yeah, "MOD EDIT: DELETED HARD LANGUAGE, but politely" is indeed the official attitude from Motorola towards their customers.

I'll start saving for a Nexus S, then my Defy will be up for sale. Sad, it was a great phone, but having to fight Motorola for control of a phone I PAID IN FULL is just wrong.
[General Topics] mrkite38:
Yeah, I'm done. It's really a shame, they've made some good stuff. I'm going to see if I can craigslist my droid 2 and pick up an incredible and won't be going back to moto. Lol, I should've known better!
[General Topics] Higgsy:
I agree but I still think that moto don't care about devs coz the vast majority of people who buy mobile phones don't even know what version of android they are on, never mind, whether they have an unlocked bootloader.

unfortunately they will still sell lots of phones
[General Topics] rbeier1221:
Correct. Not much will change as long as people buy.

I will have to work with the defy for at least a year..I can't afford to keep swapping devices. And I am not so sure about Samsung either. Most likely I will go with HTC for my next device. But at the time the Defy really was the best choice and I can work with it for now.
[General Topics] Sorensiim:
Don't get me wrong, the Defy is still an awesome phone, but if I wanted a large corporation telling me what to do with the hardware I paid for, I would have bought an iPhone.
[General Topics] rbeier1221:
So very true!
[General Topics] Vulf:
This is quite true. Having a rooted android makes me a "computer hacker" according to my friends. They have no idea how to use an android to it's full capability like most people, and will bye Motorola phones because it's a Motorola phone.
[General Topics] kusuriya:
++ for sure. Its like I give you 500$ why do you have any right to tell me how I am going to use my device and what for? If I want to use it to make awesome calls or blow up small moons what business is it of Motorola's once they have got their money?

[Defy General] thenext1:
Hi all

On my defy I removed almost all BLUR widgets from the homescreen. In total i have 2 BLUR contact widgets, the BLUR date/time and the BLUR agenda widget.

No news, no social network, no wweather... after all I don't even have a BLUR account.

Despite this, almost all BLUR services are still running, including (amongst others) 3 weather services I will never use.

I have 2 questions:

1) Is there a way to prevent these services from running apart from rooting the phone and renaming APK's

If not,

2) Do these services get swapped out when the phone is running low on memory? I know apps do, but services?
[Defy General] jjp84:
Have you tried using an app killer? You can add them to the auto end list and any time they try to run, the task killer will end them saving the usage for you...

Other than that, rooting may be your best option.

I think the stock Task Manager is only available on the US version. (W/the app killer). I have all my Blur set to update on wifi only. Don't know if that will help you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithers987321:
ive had the epic since the day it was released and have had an impossible time getting my computer to recognize it on a consistent basis. i have no idea whats going on. when i first got it i downloaded the samsung drivers and installed them, hooked up my phone and nothing. the computer tried to install drivers but consistently failed. the next day i tried again, did absolutely nothing, and it recognized my phone and i was able to root and everything else. since then its been hit or miss, one day it will recognize it and then it wont for a week, even without doing a god damn thing.

recently i dropped my epic in the snow and it fried the radio, i brought it to sprint and told them the radio just quit working and they gave me a new one. now im having the same problem, i cant get my comp to recognize the phone. i installed the samsung 32 bit drivers and everything, but still nothing. i hook up my phone and it either tries to install more drivers or does nothing at all. I want to root my phone and throw some roms on here, but i cant seem to figure it out. my buddy has a captivate and said he read a post in those forums of some guy having the same problem and a solution but i cant find it. im told its a windows 7 32 bit malfunction of some kind.

sorry for no capitalization/ punctuation and poor grammar but im in a hurry to get to school and i wanted to get this posted before i left.

please help, this is pissing me off.

thanks,

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkechitkid:
Have you tried completely removing the drivers and reloading them?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superbovine:
+1 uninstall/reinstall drivers. Make sure phone is not connected when installing drivers.

Also make sure you have the usb cable unplugged from the pc until you are ready to do something. I found that if you leave the cable plugged into the PC at all times (and unplug/replug at the phone end) it makes it more likely to not detect. Leaving the phone end plugged in and plugging/unplugging the PC end made a world of difference for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Reinstall windows. It's almost funny how often that corrects weird driver issues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redspeed:
Try using the usb cable and phone on another computer and see if it does the same thing. Also try using different usb ports, alot of times the front usb ports are underpowered and will give you issues when you try and mount the phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leatherneck6017:
Sounds to me like the cable. IMO the only thing the stock cable is good for is charging on my nightstand. I bought a $2 cable off of eBay that works EVERY time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flopez76:
I had the same exact problem as you! Just have you tried connecting your phone to one of the USB ports on the back of your computer?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heathmcabee:
Use the USB ports on the motherboard on the back. Create a new profile for connecting the epic and load the drivers in that Profile. If it fails to recognize, try another port. Make sure you are installing the drivers on the new profile you created through User Accounts and then plugging your phone in. This should fix your problem.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrewup5:
i had the same issue with home premium (also win7) i had to reinstall the drivers before everytime i plugged my phone in.

however, since i put a new rom on it (bonsai 2.0) i havent had this issue.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithers987321:
i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers numerous times. i rarely ever have the cable plugged in when im not trying to use it to connect to the phone. and my computer only has 2 usb ports on the side of my laptop, so i dont really have many options as far as that is concerned. not sure what else i can do.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Reinstall windows. It is incredibly easy.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpamDel:
+1 for the reinstalling of windows - obnoxious as it may seem. I have a dinky old laptop that I installed Vista on just to do work on my Epic. I can use any cable (stock or my Monoprice.com special) and any port on it to connect to my epic. My Win7 desktop, however, won't to this day recognize it.

Some people have reported success using the drivers that come with PDA.net , too.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Many people are scared of reinstalling windows. They think they'll mess something up. Just backup everything you don't want to lose and you'll be fine. Windows installs, and especially Windows 7 installs are incredibly easy. They basically install themselves. At work, when computers come back in from our stores with problems, I usually delete the junk, copy the hard drive, and reinstall windows. Unless hardware is dying, it damn near always fixes the problem and takes a whole lot less time than trying to troubleshoot some of windows' weird conflicts.

Also, reinstalling windows on a semi-regular basis will get you to build good habits about backing up and organizing your files.

[Android Software Development] dreamersipaq:
My wife has a "dumb" phone, but honestly as far as usability it's pretty great, and this is a feature I'd love to see on android phones:

Is it possible for a Launcher/Home app to have 2 remembered configurations for widgets, and for it to remember them and toggle between them by autosensing it's position?

So Example:

Is it possible that in portrait mode, your phone shows a dialer widget on your homescreen. When you turn the phone to landscape mode, the homescreen shows an SMS widget INSTEAD of the dialer widget. When you turn the phone back to portrait, the widget gets switched back to the dialer widget?

I think that as far as usability, that'd be awesome!
[Android Software Development] mikeeam:
Never saw anything like that on Android.

But yes, I assume that is possible. I guess Apps have access to accelerometer and it wouldn't even need root.
[Android Software Development] dreamersipaq:
Thanks!

I think it'd be awesome. As great and versatile as our phones are, let's be honest; they're phones. I think it'd be great if all you had to do was unlock your phone, and voila: you're greeted with a dialer widget (which already exist BTW). Don't need to make a phone call? No problem, but turn the phone into landscape mode (b/c let's be honest, most of us probably send SMS in landscape mode) and AGAIN Voila! there's a texting widget instead of the dialer widget (which I think also exist). The only thing to implement would be the "autosensing". If a Launcher like LPP or GO Launcher would implement something like that... it'd be money!
[Android Software Development] jgittins:
You could implement it on the widget itself so it works on any launcher.
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
Yes, it's certainly possible.

You'd have to save 2 sets of widgets and then code a listener to check whether the phone's in portrait or landscape and load the correct one.

Saying that, it's beyond my coding abilities, but i'm sure someone could do it :D
[Android Software Development] smaskell:
It is not only possible, but, from what I can tell, quite easy

all you would need to do is set up an OrientationEventListener

and then create a OnOrientationChanged method that would well.. change what is displayed

I'm not sure if it would be possible for do without using a different launcher but I'm sure it could be incorporated into something like launcherpro or adw launcher.

I might look into creating a widget that switches from phone to sms

that would be pretty cool

I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it
[Android Software Development] sergioalvarezmac:
+1

Good idea! I hope someone could do it. That would be awesome.
[Android Software Development] agento:
Tasker is the answer!

I have Tasker and have done an almost identical thing. Create a Task which senses the orientation is portrait mode to change a shortcut on the homescreen to link to the phone dialler app. Have another task which changes the shortcut to the sms app if its in landscape mode.

Should be relatively simple.

Tasker is about £3 so a little more than most apps but is so configurable should pay for itself as it can replace a lot of other apps I have used.
