[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Hi Guys,

I have been using gingerbread build's for some time. I notice battery drain sometimes battery drain suddenly spikes to 58mAh for sometime (without Wifi or BT)..for around 10-15mins and then comes back to normal after 10-20mins(<10mAh). I experienced this issue first in MDJ Cm7 2.6 build..I thought that time must be build specific..so I switched to Desire HD build which was free of this issue...however I don't like sense anymore, so moved back to typhoon's CM7 build.But again I encountered the same issue. I changed the kernel to gauner's kernel, since the desire HD build I was using was using this kernel and free of the issue, but again it surfaced back.

Now I switched to pongster's hyperdroid build. This build has a very low power drain...most of the time its < 4mah on this build...Also I haven't installed any widgets (except for current widget) and have still the stock ADW launcher (to rule out the possibility of this bug caused by any s/w)...but again the drain jumped to 58mAh :confused: .Is it just me or other gingerbread users face this drain also randomly. could it be due to SD card, I am using ext4 data partition.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XsceneXhippieX:
Try turning sync off and seeing if that is what causes the spikes
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
yes, I thought of that...and have removed facebook sync but I do need my gmail sync..I don't have any other sync's enabled except contacts and gmail...lol, is it too much to ask ? and i don't have any issues in sense builds where I have gmail, weather and facebook sync on
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XsceneXhippieX:
hmmm, I don't know, maybe its an install issue, I have everything always syncing, but I also have only 2g connection (at&t's terrible network) and I haven't had this issue using both pongsters and mdj's builds
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Hmmm ok...I don't think its an install issue..i always do a task 29 before switching builds from different devs..and follow the CWM settings as recommended by the dev....rest the builds are running so smoothly especially pongsters without any FC's or such...

BTW why are using AT&T...t-mob is cheaper and faster(3g) :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mamv:
It happens to me too sometimes. What I do is disable wifi and gps wait two minutes and battery drain on standby becames 5mA again. When I enable both again, it stays on 5mA. Don't know what's causing it, but I have it too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ghostrider:
I have this Problem if I use Livewallpapers.

Now i use normal Wallpapers and it is gone.:)

edit: 5-8 mA with normal Wallpaper
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Well for me, it turned out to be the sync indeed as XsceneXhippieX mentioned.

I turned off all sync just for the heck of it and the problem hasn't come back for last 2 days...I enabled Background Sync (not auto sync) and problem resurfaced within few hours...so i'm pretty sure..Its the sync which is causing this :( Guess I need to go back to Sense ROM now...

And BTW i'm not using live wallpapers..

Also one more interesting fact...phone conusmes more battery on 2G networks than on 3G. I forced to phone to use 2G network and idle power drain was >5mAh all the time...while on 3g its 2-5mAh mostly...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zephyrot:
58 mah on Ginger is usually the GPS. Turn it on then off again, somehow if you use it or any app use it, even if the app closes the GPS chip doesnt turn off.

Just turn it off using the widget or in settings.

If that doesnt fix it, make sure Bluetooth is off. it consumes 58-59 mah, even if it is not connected, its a known issue on Ginger. Bluetooth never goes to sleep, gotta turn it off manually.

Hope it helps!.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Thanks for the help, but I'm sure its due to sync...I turned off the sync and for last 3 days there hasn't been a single occurrence of 60mAh drain.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lbhocky19:
gonna try turning off sync cause ive been having this issue.

just tried second gingerbread rom and it began immediately,

and this is with data, wifi, bt, gps all off.

hopefully sync does it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lbhocky19:
turning background data off didnt help.. still getting 70 to 80 drain.

and playing music in standby had me up to 110 which is higher than usual too
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Is it a spike or continous drain? Also which ROM/kernel are you using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lbhocky19:
its a spike, other weird thing is since i got on gingerbread, currentwidget has sucked at getting a continuous read. it has big gaps in the log.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905060

thats the one im on now and i was on clean gingerbread before that
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Yes currentwidget don't give a continuous read for me too...but its the same behavior in froyo based sense build also...

Anyway, are you using any widgets installed which sync? Disable them and see, though i'll advice to disable all widgets (not only ones which sync) and see
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lbhocky19:
score mobile and stock weather i have. but if i turned off background data and autosync they shouldnt be able to do anything i thought?

il give it a try

and currentwidget always did minute by minute for me in froyo. on sense at least i cant remember the last time i used a stock build
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Well I had fancy widget installed in which I had set weather to be updated always (irrespective of background data option) once a day and only on Wi-Fi..yet it still caused 58mAh drain....try disabling them for a while and see...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lbhocky19:
just deleted score mobile and deactivated weather.

after a few minutes turned it on. 85ma...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
You can change the kernel to see if it helps...try Gauner's or RAFPIGNA

or better switch to froyo build...i'm switching myself..there's not much use to smartphone if you turn off syncs anyway :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lbhocky19:
yeah i guess back to froyo. whats the best stock one? def dont want sense anymore.

and has anyone made an app or something to do the awesome shutoff animation from 2.3?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
you can try out MarkinuX rom...its a best compromise between stock and sense i.e. if you like htc widgets but not sense itself...find it here

[General Questions and Answers] homeruntilly:
I am new to android development and started messing around and building the example source in Eclipse Helios. When I do new project > existing source and open up the Mms.apk source (stock, from android's git hub, it says the source has errors and they need to be fixed before I can build.

I tried this on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine and used repo to get the entire android source, thinking maybe having the entire platform source would help. I'm still unable to build the source so any edits I do are useless.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing? I know I'm doing something wrong or skipping something, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks

sorry to double post but i'm not sure why it says "Resolved", i think the app made me add it in or something. anyways the status is still currently unresolved. any help much appreciated.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwelsh09:
Would you be interested in knowing how to merge an old sms database with a new one?

What happened to me is that I was running 2.1 and wanted to upgrade to FreeX10 beta4 (2.2).

So, I backed everything up with xRecovery and Titanium, then upgraded.

However, before I could restore the texts with Titanium, I received a lot of texts.

Then when I tried restoring the old texts, I lost my most recent texts.

Which led me to figure out if it was possible to merge old texts with new ones.

I've now figured out how to merge the old texts with the new and have them properly dated and in order.

The only thing I'm missing is the attachments. Which is looking impossible right now.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolutionizer:
Use SMS restore and backup it will merge the two automatically without losing any messages. What i mean by merging is first restoring the new backup using titanium and then making a backup using SMS restore and backup in Archive mode, do the same for the old backup too. And you will have a single file containing all the backup

i have personally tried it.

[General Questions and Answers] veryluckyguy:
I've tried the current and several previous versions of Darktremor's Apps2SD and don't have any luck getting it to work with my Optimus One phone. I've got a 8gb card partitioned with 7gb of fat32 and about 1gb of ext3. Before each install, I wipe everything in the phone-data & cache. After flashing the zip file, the phone boots fine and after I run the app, it reboots the phone and the phone just goes into a loop displaying the android animation.

Does anyone have similar experience? Any help would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] lone^wolf:
I'm having the same problem, or sort of...

Iv'e installed darktremor's apps2sd, foloowing every step including partitioning the SD, but after i installed several apps and internal space decreased drasticaly.

I would like to know it it works with LG P500/Optimus One stock rom v10a with root?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] veryluckyguy:
I gave up trying and did it the hard way. Cooked up my own rom and included the apps2sd feature, flashed it to the phone and now it's working great. It was a real leap of faith though. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, unless of course you don't care about losing the use of the phone. Anyway if you cook up your own rom, you should be able to get this working properly.

saw this yesterday. Figured it was some type of workaround. Probably the closest thing any of us will see to anything remotely pertaining to the Nexus stuff on VZW. lol
[Captivate General] jgr208:
My phone has been lagging pretty bad lately and last night I finally got fed up with it and was messing around to fix the lag. So I went and cleared everything from my web cache and cookies and saved locations and, and that actually made it seem more responsive and now does not lag at all. Just though I would share this to help people who may be having unknown reasons for lag.

Download 1.66 or 1.42 rom from htc.com, then install hspl 2.08. make sure you have the right radio.. then install maglard. Now you are ready to flash an android rom :=)

hi m8 please read this FAQ : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893948

in post 2 mskip wrote :I have a 3.14 Rom with an SPL 3.03 and cannot install HardSPL 2.08

You must downgrade your Rom to a Rom with an SPL 2.10 or lower in order to install HardSPL 2.08. Try to find a 1.48, 1.66 or 1.72 Rom from your carrier and flash via micro SD Card to downgrade the Rom and SPL, then install HardSPL 2.08 and flash a new Radio to meet the requirements for flashing Magldr. If you cant find a Stock Rom that will flash on your phone then goto *THIS* thread and read on how to create a GoldCard for your micro SD Card. With a GoldCard you will be able to flash ANY Stock Rom without problem.

My phone have stuff from Orange fr but it's unlocked by a friend, should i download Orange rom or wwe rom ?

Try Orange first. But you still can flash other stock rom but need gold card ;)

hi,

I'm with Orange to with SPL 2.10 and I've the same pb!

You must copy the nbh file (rom with 1.66 or 1.42 rom) on your sd card and boot on.

After, install SPL 2.08 HSPL.

Ok I dont no whats going on, I Installed CWM 3.0 using the VZW Bootstrap,

Now everytime I connect my Tab into my computer it only sees the Tab as a CD DRIVE. Not USB Mass Storage anymore.

Any help would be appreciated!

After this I also installed "KhasMek Voodoo Plus v2 Now with Voodoo Sound!" and still shows as CD DRIVE when I plug the tab in.

I'll keep you guys posted on the Voodoo Plus.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
Name the type of tab you have :)

is it a verizon, T-mobile, AT&T one or is it an european one
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmathai77:
its a Sprint CDMA tab, i Used the Verizon Bootstrap for CWM3
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
oh dear, VZW is for verizon wireless ... ONLY. lol

how are you mounting the USB, is it through CWM directly? or through samsungs rom ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmathai77:
no it isnt, a bunch of SPRINT guys tried it and it works fine.

I tried both ways, when i mount it using CWM it doesnt work at all, when I use the Samsung ROM - it reads it as CD Drive.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
it sounds like the SD card (internal + external) are not mounting at all,

Youll probably go no (****) lol but one thing you can try is looking in your CWM menu for mounts and storage, try seeing if the SDext and /sdcard have the following options by them

"-mount /sdcard" means its not mounted

"-unmount /sdcard means its mounted

get back to me with this and i can have a nother crack at fixing it
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmathai77:
yea it was on Mount /sd card, i clicked on it and switched it to unmount /sdcard (mounted)

but it still doesnt do anything,

if it helps when the system boots up and i plug it into the computer, the battery icon shows a thunderbolt and a little red X next to it.

nvm, i just reflashed Stock SPrint no modem, got my orientation back and removable usb storage back.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idumych:
This has nothing to do with CWM. It's a glitch in specific kernels, so post in the kernel threads instead. The CD Rom thing is a well known issue and has already been discussed in the relevant threads.

Long story short, this is the tradeoff. The only custom kernel I know of right now that DOESN'T have this issue on CDMA is Bauxite's, but that kernel doesn't have EXT4 yet so it won't work on a tab that has CWM.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
This happened to a lot of vibrants when we started flashing froyo roms. They have an sd card fix you flash through cwm. You will have to search for it, because it is probably since November since their developers fixed this.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bauxite:
This happens when a kernel is built for vzw and run on a sprint tab.

Specifying Verizon and not sprint during compilation forces it down the wrong code paths that sets the USB ID wrong.

I will post an ext4 kernel that fixes this for you cwm users.

Found this very interesting article on gsmarena about an upcoming tablet by Viewsonic... I never thought it was possible but dual booting Windows 7 and Android 2.2+ ? What does this mean for our Gtab? your thoughts?

http://blog.gsmarena.com/viewsonic-unveils-dual-sim-v350-phone-and-dual-boot-viewpad-10pro/

**I hope that our Gtab would live on even after all these radical tablet advances for 2011. :eek:
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Intel CPU. For Android, it must be compiled for that CPU I assume - but since so many apps are ARM-based it might limit its usefulness.
[G Tablet General] s14tam:
atom cpu = crap battery life for this type of device. About the same as a netbook, 3.5 hrs or so compared to 10+ hrs of ARM based tegra2 in gtabs. Plus win7 on an atom performance would probably be pretty low. Not worth it.
[G Tablet General] jag_oh:
this i agree on... kinda funny how, in the article, viewsonic stated that the battery life will "last at least 6 hours"... with day-to-day use that might translate to about 3-4 hours tops :D just hope that Gtab support by viewsonic (however little it may be) won't be discontinued just cuz they have a new toy to market now... :(
[G Tablet General] skeeterpro:
Inclined to also agree but must say that the atom cpu on my HP2140 netbook running win7 Pro isn't the slowest turtle in the race. Extended battery gives me about 5-6 hrs. Wouldn't expect that life on a tab though.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Recently, I've been doing some testing of Android X86, and their FAQ mentions that some Apps may work, while others, that use native ARM code, won't. I know that that's probably pretty obvious, but it seems like VS should caution potential users about that, or they'll get a bunch of unhappy users when they can't run all Android Alps.

Jim
[G Tablet General] switt:
Nah this isnt a run of the mill Atom. Its the one they made after Moorestown to fight these ARM tabs. Oak trail is an SOC much like Tegra. Its supposed to have super low TDP and pull off ARM like battery life. Since desktop apps tend to be more demanding, this remains to be seen.
[G Tablet General] s14tam:
I don't think they said it will have full market ability stock anyways so people can't really complain if it can't run all apps.

Also, doubt any x86 proc can match an ARM chip in battery even if it is a SOC. Viewsonics page even seems to confirm this as it says it is rated for 4hrs.
[G Tablet General] gksmith:
At work, we're starting to talk with Microsoft about ARM versions of Windows. I've tossed my name into the hat as a developer. I suspect I won't be able to use my G-Tablet but will forced to get some other Windows ARM device.
