I think I'm going to accept my less than a days worth of battery and carry around a spare with me. Any way here's my usage yesterday. some light usage in the morning (pre 720 am) with idle the rest of the day until 210 pm

Ok i found out my battery stats are resetting at least every boot. Would this be detrimental to battery life?

Sorry for it being sideways.

For good battery life, I recommend using Precsion Rom 1.01 with Speedmod' kernel. I am getting amazing battery life with it After 2d 5h 10m 25s, I am still at 27% battery life.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damngood98:
using fitsnugly latest (as of yesterday) and was trying to applying a morph. it froze up in the middle of applying it and i had to pull the battery. since then i have not been able to send or receive text messeges. i don't have a nandroid because i've had too many problems with them and it's just as quick to use tb for backing everything up.

in any case, i've wiped everything possible, tried different recoveries, different roms, gingerbread, froyo, etc....cannot send sms. maybe i'm missing something simple but if someone can offer another way of wiping that might cover something i've missed i would love to hear about it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmiloco49:
Flash the latest rom again n see if it works
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damngood98:
thanks, but like i said i've already tried that. i need to wipe something that's not getting wiped in recovery
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damngood98:
well after some serious stressing i put in a new sim card that i've had and everything is up and running fine now.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimsblood:
I have done plenty of searching these forums and the internet for the answer to my problem and I can not find one. Hopefully someone will have some insight. Here is what is about to cause me to ram my head so hard into a rock wall that it releases a 10.0 earth quake on the Richter scale:

I live in the middle of no where (just moved) so I do not have access to a cable internet connection. I get cell service. I want to use my PS3 to play some online games. I should be able to give my PS3 internet through my phone (rooted or not).

I can't.

Here is my setup:

PC: Vista (I know, crap...blah, blah, blah...I hate it, but it functions for school)

Phone: Droid Eris, Rooted, FroShedYp-CM6.2-RC1-Desirec.

What I've done:

Started with the Rooted Wireless tether app that came with phone, set it up, PC picked it up, I could browse the internet, use Ventrillo, ect. I then connected the Ethernet cable to my PC from PS3. PC took a while to identify it and it kept re-identifying it. In my network settings I check the the "allow sharing, blah, blah, blah" for the wireless network. I go to my PS3 and test the wired connection. It fails!!!!

Well, crap! Now what? Oooo, I have a wired tether rooted app. Lets try that. So I hook up the wired tether and follow same process as above. Nothing. D@mn!

Ok, so now hair is being pulled out of my head! The light turns on. I have EasyTether and that is supposed to do what I want (It better because I paid money for it, right?). I go to the website and follow their instructions.............still nothing!

Now it is time to use my good friend Google. I get on and find a YouTube video of some guy doing what I want but with a Windows 7 OS. AND IT WORKS! Awesome! He did everything I did; the only difference was Windows 7.

So, I now has an idea :) . I go grab my Grandpa's laptop that has Windows 7. I follow the steps like I saw in the video and are written everywhere. The closest I get now is getting an IP address for the PS3 and then the internet connection fails! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

I do some more research online and run across a program (Conectify) that I am supposed to need now. Well, this doesn't help. I still don't have Windows 7 on MY PC which is where I need to run this new network out of!

Oh yea, and now my PC does not pick up my Rooted Wireless App......at ALL!

Please XDA, someone out there must be able to help!!!!!

Regards,

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Did you use a cross-over cable? Ethernet connects asymmetrically, you need a certain cable that will in effect turn the ethernet in port on your computer into an ethernet out.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
And also tell Windows Vista to share your internet connection (via the Ethernet cable).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimsblood:
I did not know that. How do you tell the difference between ethernet cables? (I used a Belkin FastCAT 5e)

How is this done? I mean is it the same as enabling the shared settings or did Microsoft hide this option in some deep dark corner?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
The cable will specifically state that it is a crossover cable, since it won't do anyone any good who is using it for any other sort of network structure, also most cable you encounter will be standard. If it doesn't, compare the two ends, if the wires inside are identical, it's a straight through cable, if they are not it's crossover.

Image from wikipedia

Also you can purchase adapters. Just search walmart for crossover cable, I'm sure other places have them too.

Wow, that picture is damn big, sorry.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwonka69:
has anyone tried to do this with the wireless?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Don't see why it shouldn't work. I use Wireless Tether for Root all the time, with many different devices. Just the other day I used it so a guy on an Evo4G could watch YouTube... haha **** Sprint.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimsblood:
I just checked and do not have a crossover cable. I will have to get one and try again.

You are supposed to be able to do this wirelessly. I originally found out to do it wirelessly. It appears my problem is the cable from laptop to PS3.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Note that I'm creating these instructions using Windows 7 as an example. Under Vista it should be very similar though.

In your notification tray, right-click on the built-in Windows network notification icon and choose "Open Network and Sharing Center".

On the left side, choose "Change adapter settings". Right-click on the working network connection on your computer and choose "Properties".

Choose the "Sharing" tab. At this point, you should be able to click the link at the bottom of the Sharing tab that says "Using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)" to find out the rest of anything you might need to know if it doesn't seem self-explanatory from this point on.

I forget if Vista had any differences to these, but I don't think it was anything TOO major.

Also note that sometimes in the past ICS would not work reliably for me, and I was able to get around it and instead, at the step before I say to right-click on the working network connection, do this instead:

While holding down the Control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard, click on the source and destination network connections (your tethered Android network and your Local Area Connection). You can let go of the Control button then. Then right-click over either of those two you selected and choose "Bridge Connections".

Note that if your network configuration changes in the future, or you want to try ICS, you'll have to UN-bridge those connections. The way you do that is that after you bridge them, "Network Connections" will list one more network connection, the resultant "Network Bridge". Just delete this Network Bridge and they'll un-bridge.

Good luck!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_Dork_42:
I would get your phone rooted (if not already) then do wireless tether for root users. It lets your phone become a wifi hotspot. If you get cell signal, you will be able to transmit wifi and hook up your PS to the wifi signal. Just make sure to keep your phone plugged in so it doesn't use up all the battery and you get disconnected.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Here is a new pit file for everyone. It was received with a package I was given.

It works for the Samsung Hawk (Not out yet), The Sidekick 4G (Not out yet) and the Vibrant 4G (Not out yet)

Enjoy!

Link Removed.

Thanks to a tester, This will not repartition the Samsung Vibrant. So, this is just a leak for a new PIT.

If you don't know what this is, then it does not pertain to you. This is for upcoming devices such as the Vibrant 4G. Since there is no 4G section yet, it has been posted here. Many people, including myself like to have a store so to speak with anything and everything phone related.
[Vibrant Android Development] uurrnn:
What exactly does this mean?
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
you know how you use 512 PIT file when you use ODIN.... same thing. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] uurrnn:
Yeah. I dont know much about Odin other than it saves my ass every now and again. Will this be replacing the 512 PIT in the new Odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Why would the mapping change?
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
mapping?

10char
[Vibrant Android Development] kulzboy:
Can anyone test this?
[Vibrant Android Development] kooksta:
is this a rom/modem/kernel? i understand it's like the 512 pit file (stock). is this like a 2.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
What's this for though
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
I thought the 512 pit was used to designate the layout for memory . Am I wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
If you dont know what a PIT is, then you really shouldn't be in the dev section.

And NO! This is NOT a ROM, MODEM, KERNEL.
[Vibrant Android Development] itsjusttim:
Haha
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
I dont even use a pit when using ODIN. I haven't since Aug.
[Vibrant Android Development] oka1:
Nice Krylon Thank you,
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
I understand that the .pit files handle the partitioning of the internal SD ? Right
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
So my question is why are we changing from a 512 partition size to an 831?
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
I believe so. Like I said though, I don't use a PIT.
[Vibrant Android Development] Deleted member 2653512:
you can try this out for yourself on a usb thumb drive. format one with one smaller size format. run some data transfers on it. then re-format using a larger size format. re-do the same data transfers and see what kind of performance increase you get.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mr. Apocalypse:
so let me be the one to ask the dumbass question krylon, :D

if i use the 831 PIT with the T959JFD TAR in the new Odin you posted (thanks btw)

its just like using the 512 PIT?

i'll still end up with stock JFD 2.1 right?
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Hmm this is interesting.
[Vibrant Android Development] Yaz75:
This was my question as well.

Is it married to a particular release/kernel? I've never used anything besides 512 with JFD. I guess I just assumed that they were intended to be used together and couldn't be mismatched.

Probably a bad assumption on my part. I never bothered to investigate since they always worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
yes. this just has to do with partitioning. it has nothing to do with WHAT data you ultimately copy to the drive. it's just a formatting instruction. like what you would do with a usb thumb drive or a hard drive.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
....this my friend is something I will try.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
use it just as you would 512.

goes like this.. 512 was released with 2.1. 813 came out when i9k 2.2 came out.

813 still worked on JFD

831...2.2.1, still works on JFD
[Vibrant Android Development] :
just make sure it's a 16gb thumb drive or something comparable in size. you'll only see the difference on larger drives. and use a good benchmark app. there are many free ones.

when it comes to partitioning / file formats... they evolve due to the size of drives evolving and growing bigger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems

basically... i'm guessing they figured out that a 512kb or whatever it was file format really is completely ludicrous for a 16gb drive.

[Vibrant Android Development] georgegreco86:
cmon man, you flash roms and do not know what ODIN is. Odin is the Samsung Electronics software for reflashing our beautiful Vibrants to a carrier distributed, or in our case, a XDA distributed Rom(Firmware).

2.1 - Use .512pit

2.2 - Sometimes .512, or .813 .. but now-a-days its more so no pit.

2.3 - Im sure it will use the new .831 pit.

3.0 - Dream on, the Vibrant 4G 2, will be out before than.

[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
for someone who only has 18 posts to make this comment. You need to be around more.

We as devs have all learned that if you have something, and sit on it, you get ridiculed for not sharing with the community. So that is what I am doing. Giving the people what I have. I know there are more than a few people that are going to rush out and get the 4G on launch day, me not being one of them.

It's better they have this stuff now, then having to wait for someone to post it.

Once the 4G section is created, I will have the 4G Leak and this PIT moved down to it.

So in response to your comment, no, this wasn't useless. Useless to you? maybe, because you are probably one of the ones on here who flash anything and everything and complain with you didn't read and bricked your phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] deeznutz1977:
+100 :}
[Vibrant Android Development] mdkxtreme:
I humbly apologize for that comment though. I did not see the title "4G ONLY"

I was reading through the whole post and people with 3G was flashing it and ended up with problems. I was referring to useless in terms of the Vibrant 3G.

I apologize.
[Vibrant Android Development] established:
With all do respect to the dev comunity and please correct me if im wrong...

So far ive only been seeing post about this bricking peoples phones, and from the looks of the post it looks like this only works for the 4G(Thats what im getting out of the OP)

Now my thing is, why would there be something posted in the Vibrant 3G thread if the file is made for the Vibrant 4G and upcoming 4G phones?...not trying to make anyone look or feel stupid but thats honestly just like posting a Tmobile G2 ROM in the dev section of the G1 forums.

It this is only for the upcoming 4G phones then it shouldnt have been released in a 3G thread, wether other devs get mad because you didnt release it.

Now in the OP i didnt see that you said it worked on your phone..did i miss that part? correct me if i did.

And if you didnt test a new leak on your phone why would you release it, thats just asking people to ask dumb questions and complain because you know there going to flash/odin it?

In my opinion this thread is pointless if this pit file was made only for the upcoming 4G phones and not securly test by the dev who posted it.

Thanks guys.

P.S i didnt flash this, no need to, but I was just speaking my mind
[Vibrant Android Development] ipeench:
You are wrong.

First there is not 4G section. (as far as I can tell at least) This is a VIBRANT section, not a Vibrant 3G section so I dont see why both the 3G and upcomming 4G can not be posted here AS LONG AS there clearly marked, and this is [now].I know that can make things confusing and as you can see a few comments back krylon even started a thread requesting a 4G section.

As far as krylon posting this with out testing it... that's not the point. If you read his posts this was put out so people will have it when the phone comes out....

[Vibrant Android Development] Insomaniac10:
This thread is asking for trouble. It really needs to be specified in the OP that this is specifically designated for either developers, or people who KNOW what they are doing who just feel like effing around.

This is going to attract noob swarms, with noob questions, naturally. And the way this is presented, it wouldnt exactly be fair to trash on them, since little to no info is being provided on the OP content.

If someone asks what a PIT file is, its obnoxious to be like "you dont know what it is, why are you in development section?"

Its a public forum so obviously there is going to be noob traffic everywhere, and like it or not, they have every right to be here. So its the OPs responsibility to either not post this content, or provide detailed information on exactly what it is, and what it is intended for. That way no one screws anything up, and you guys wont be inconvienced with dumb questions.

Sometimes i feel like experienced people (NOT necessarily this OP) avoid giving out important info in HOPES the noobs will come, hence giving them the opportunity to noob-rip.
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
but its funny how people complain their phones got bricked

i say leave the thread as it is
[Vibrant Android Development] Insomaniac10:
yah i definitely get real satisfaction that someone else is experiencing problems with their phone. just because they are a faceless forum member that i dont know in real life. it definitely makes it much easier to judge, belittle, and poke fun at them. noobs are sub-human, and deserve no help.

if it was one of your buddies, im sure youd feel the same way......like if you guys were hanging out, and he asked you how to unbrick, youd sit there and tell him to "use the search function", right?

:p:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] funeralthirst:
on one had, this IS the dev section, so if you don't know what odin or pit is, maybe you should read about it and not immediately think 'i should try and flash this'. i don't think devs intentionally leave stuff out to trick noobs into bricking their phones, i think devs assume a certain level of knowledge based on the thread topic (and rightfully so). for example: in the kernel source thread, if you don't know what a kernel is or what source means, or think it's something you can flash, you shouldn't be in that thread; in a rom thread it's assumed you know how to flash through cwm, but it's not assumed you know if you should disable voodoo or not so it's explicitly stated (usually). i don't expect eugene to have to explain how to compile a kernel from source and what a kernel is just to post the kernel source.

on the other hand, this:

is right on.
