[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
i recently installed Darky's Rom v9.3b1 (the rom doesnt matter in this situation - i tried others) and heres how my phone lasts in different situations:

You need a wipe of your phone and install a clean rom > preferably one that does not have loads of this rom drains my battery posts .

Then reset the battery stats drain the battery bump charge it and then use it for a month battery should be back to near normal .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
I've read and done the most common battery calibrate for Darky's ROM but then also came across this thread:

http://darky.ficeto.com/community/i...attery-in-case-of-strange-battery-drain.1183/

I think it is interesting because when I do the common battery calibrate, I'm wiping battery stats when my battery is at 97%, 98% because of the fact that every time my phone reboots, the percentage drops.

However, with the posted thread I'll be wiping battery stats at the point where the battery is completely full which makes more sense to me.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks.

The drop is in effect a false reading dont bother about it .Loads of posts on the reasons why later battery charging methods have changed .

Plus some battery indicators dont like reporting 100 % .

Get rid of the email app (freeze or delete) and download K9 email app instead.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
Hmmm... Interesting point. I'm wondering for all those out there who claim they get 30 to 40 hours with moderate use if they are using stock email or 3rd party source that handles polling.

I'm using stock GMail and a Yahoo Messenger both pushing emails instantly which I'm wondering could be my issue. I've tried every recommendation for battery efficiency out there and nothing has worked. I'm draining about 6% per hour with less then moderate use.

I'm going to kill the gmail and yahoo apps to see if that makes a difference.

Will report back my useage.

i m on stoke xwjs5 and i found this is best bettary performanse i ever seen on i9000,

lots of fector affect betary life,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
So, I removed gmail email sync and removed my yahoo mail app to install k9 email. It has a very nice interface however chewed up my battery even more so while having each email account polling every 10 minutes.

I uninstalled k9 email app and turned on gmail email sync. I also added another email account to my gmail account so that I can get push emails to both accounts.

I installed an app called battery calibrator from the market. I charged my phone to 100 percent and while charged, I ran battery calibrator. After the calibration, I rebooted my phone.

Now, my battery drops 1.5 percent every hour compared to anywhere from 6 to 10% per hour.

I don't start monitoring the battery until about 95 percent because after a full charge it drops to 98 percent in about 40 minutes. That's just how the software reads the battery usage I guess.

I have been going to this site for awhile and downloading wallpapers for my PC and knew they had walls for Apple devices. So I checked and they have Windows Phone 7 section at a resolution of 480x800 which is the same at the Inspire.

The site is: Interfacelift.com

http://interfacelift.com/

There are pages and pages and pages of user submitted wallpapers. All you need to do is click on the drop down next to the wallpaper you want and select 480x800. Then click "Download."

However there are drawbacks. Currently there are only 108 wallpapers with this size available. If you have an account, you can bulk download any resolution from all the years they have wallpapers for.

Check them out!
[HTC Inspire 4G] earhog:
Thanks for the heads up... Also if you hit netbook theres a 800x480 tab with like 98 pages.. so theres alot more than 108 wallpapers
[HTC Inspire 4G] bbrou33:
Thanks for the link.. But I thought our resolution was 960x800
[HTC Inspire 4G] satah:
Love interfacelift. been using them for a few years now.

960x800 sounds like the qhd resolution.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ngravatt:
yes, that is the resolution of the image you need to use as your background. If you notice when you scroll between home screens, the image moves slightly, so the background image has to be larger than 480x800.

480x800 is the resolution of your 'screen'.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Use fullscreen 1280X1024. When you choose a wallpaper you should be able to crop. It will just crop the sides off a bit. There are some wallpapers hosted there that are 960X800, but not alot. Have fun sifting through the site!

also here is a pretty nice site with 960x800 wallpapers

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
Hello guys,

I have a stock Nexus One that received two updates, the first one was 2.2 which updated since the first boot, and the second one is the 2.2.1 (FRG83D). Now Google started the 2.3 OTA roll out (see http://bit.ly/hUlpUy) but I didn't get yet the 2.2.2 update yet. Will my phone accept the 2.3 one even if I didn't update to 2.2.2 yet?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dirk:
Was your phone bought directly from Google or through a carrier? The only phones that i know of that haven't received 2.2.2 yet are the ones tied to carriers like Vodafone, and if that is the case you'd have a long wait to receive 2.3.3 anyway.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
Well yes. I bought it from Vodafone Italy. I understand, but it would update anyways right? Even if I would wait a little longer I mean? And will it have to update first to 2.2.2 or it just can jump to 2.3.3?

Thanks for your response.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
And by the way it is not locked to vodafone (branded). It's unlocked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] redbullcat:
Type *#*#checkin#*#* into the dialer. Your phone will then force check for the update.

More info here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
Yeah I do this every now and then :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tomrobbo26:
I also have the Nexus One which in the end came from Vodafone! (However much i regret this now) So I am also still on 2.2.1 waiting for Vodafone to still push 2.2.2!

I have attempted to flash 2.2.2 to my phone using ClockWorkMod etc but that didn't work out and it ended up just looping the Nexus logo on startup so had to recover it all, I attempted that a few times as well but with no luck! So in the end I still have the carrier version of stock android!

I'm hoping that someone on here manages to source the Nexus One 2.3.3 OTA file from the Google servers and can whack up some instructions on how we can flash that over because I'm sick of waiting on Vodafone! Will it be possible for me to go from 2.2.1 straight to 2.3.3? Or do I have to get 2.2.2?

I don't think anyone has received the Nexus One 2.3.3 OTA yet so whether Google have actually put it up for release yet is another thing!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
The OTA is not pushed by Vodafone. I've bought my N1 from Italy (vodafone) and I use it in Egypt, and I could receive all the previous OTAs without any issue. Now my question was simple. Do I have to update to the versions before 2.3.3 or it can just update from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3? (note there are 3 versions in the middle).

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dirk:
You guys have lots of options and should really come post in the Nexus One section of the forum.

If you are on Vodafone firmware phones, and hitting up *#*#checkin#*#* daily, then you are going to wear out your device before Voda actually gets around to releasing the OTA!

I imagine that Voda will either OTA 2.2.2 sometime and then 2.3.3 later, or will skip 2.2.2 and find a way to roll it into the 2.3.3 update later. There's also the possibility that they never intend to update the Nexus One again. After all there's not much profit in it for them as Nexus users make up a tiny percentage of their customers. My advice would be to go custom.

Options include Rooting and flashing a stock, non-voda firmware, which fails for a lot of people (including me), or flashing a custom/stock 2.2.2 (which worked for me) which will then allow future OTA direct from Google, or go the custom route and flash a CM7 ROM so that you never have to worry about OTA again :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
Thanks DirkGently1 for the info. I would like to do the same thing you did with your phone (flashing a stock 2.2.2) so I could get OTAs directly from google?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tomrobbo26:
I would also like to receive my OTA's from Google, I have attempted the flashing of a stock 2.2.2 ROM which is what failed for me, maybe this is the same non vodafone firmware you've just mentioned which didn't work for you?

Any instructions and files as to how you managed to flash yours to 2.2.2 to get updates from Google?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dirk:
All the usual stock ROM/passimg.zip methods failed for me. Either installing the OTA to get updated to the most recent build, or updating manually, would fail. So i used THIS ROM which is a stock, rooted, 2.2.2 that will be able to receive OTA direct from Google.

If you can't install that for some reason then you probably can't install any ROM using the normal methods. In that case your only option would be to unlock your Bootloader and use Fastboot. HTC always seems to honour warranties regardless so i wouldn't let that worry you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
I guess I'll have to root my 2.2.1 Rom before being able to flash it with the rom you suggested...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
I can't root it!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dirk:
What method did you try? For me SuperOneClick works like a champ as long as 1) Your device drivers are installed properly on your pc* and 2) You enable USB Debugging and then turn off the phone/plug in to pc/start SOC and select 'Root'/Turn phone back on when you see the 'waiting for device..' prompt/wait until completed.

*Nexus one driver pack can be found around here somewhere. I believe they came from the SDK.

The wiki is a great source of N1 info... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746544
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarfouad:
My version is 2.2.1. Is there something that can root it yet?

is there going to be honeycomb 3.0 apps & games to take advantage of the screen size? like the ipad?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] omnia1994:
hope it will be
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Theguru1:
well this confirms it..it does..

In a statement posted Tuesday on the Android developer blog, Google announced the official release of the Android 3.0 SDK. Third-party developers can now publish Honeycomb-compatible applications for the upcoming Android tablets—including the Motorola Xoom, which is expected to debut this week.

Google released a preview of the 3.0 SDK last month, giving third-party developers an early look at the platform's new tablet user interface and an opportunity to get a head start on application development. The new APIs were still subject to change, however, so developers were blocked from publishing their Android 3.0 applications until the official SDK release.

Google says that the APIs are now in their final form and that developers are free to start making their Android 3.0 applications available through the Android Market. As we discussed in our recent look at the SDK preview, the new version of the platform introduces some compelling features that will make it easier for third-party developers to build tablet-friendly Android applications.

Thanks to the early availability of the SDK preview, some developers could already have tablet versions of their applications ready to go for the Xoom launch.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nnick:
But will the apps from 2.2 work on 3.0 and scale automatically, as they did on the SGT?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lanternca:
I own the Xoom. As for games and all apps. It kind of depends. I can play anything I had before, but some games are designed for tablets and some are not. Those that are not have horrible graphics, slow response, off resolution, etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nnick:
What about productivity software?

- Touchdown for Exchange (for Exchange e-mail). Short question here: does Xoom support Exchange, as in Calendaring, accepting, declining meetings and all that through ActiveSync?

- Office Talk Free -> does it scale up well on the screen? This is for Office Communicator and is essential for me.

- Word processing - how is it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nnick:
No one using this software?

I would like to know also since my company uses TD for Exchange & I use Office Talk Free.

[Focus General] asiancuta:
figured i'd start a thread on the use of the camera and what others have done or do to take amazing pictures. possibly post some

only thing i've noticed is holding down the camera button half way till the center cue comes up and beeps, to snap a shot allows for a lot better clarity and focus on a shot.
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
that is the focus .... setting the anti shake before taking pics helps too. the use of macro mode helps with the small items... also adjusting the metering can help when you are shooting something and the light is coming from an odd angle...
[Focus General] asiancuta:
ah k. Kinda assumed it was since pics are taken instantly with the push of the button instead of typical 2-3 sec delay to focus as with other phones. Have to mess with macro or any other feature other than image filter for b&w shots. Will try it though.
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
samsungs always take great pics.... i wish this phone had the settings the omnia 2 had.... that camera was the best 5mp out...
[Focus General] asiancuta:
i wonder what Nokia's partnership with Microsoft and Windows Phone 7 will bring as far as cameras, cause honestly the last great cell phone camera i ever used was on an old Nokia flip phone from T-Mobile (years and years ago). it may have been 1.3MP camera but it took some sharp pics and quick. Iphone was eh aight, blackberry curve..the led flash was too long too bright and pictures were grainy, HTC Tilt 2...so so quality with slight not so noticeable color tint. but this Focus phone takes better pics than my old 8MP Nokia digital camera.
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
Hi everybody,

I've read all the threads on the battery problems, but I'm experiencing something different.

My phone is rooted but on stock rom. The last two days, my phone charges to 100% and when I unplug it, it stays there, but then throughout the morning, it drops drastically. yesterday I unplugged it at 5am, by 8:30 I was at 73%. I normally make it a full day 5am-10 at night, the lat couple days I'm lucky to make it to 4pm...

Any ideas or suggestions???
[Nexus S General] MadFerIt2011:
Download and install OSMonitor and see if the init process is continuously using 100% CPU. I've experienced this bug myself.

The current fix is to enable USB Debugging.
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
I just downloaded OS monitor, my cpu was at 39%. I am already at 82% battery and have barely done anything on the phone
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
Also usb debugging has been on
[Nexus S General] harisn:
How many apps have you installed on your phone?
[Nexus S General] ChrisJ:
Thanks for that, it has been bugging the hell out of me why the CPU has been sat at 100% and the battery has been less than average.

USB Debugging now enabled and the CPU is scaling properly again.
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
I have 50 apps installed currently
[Nexus S General] Serious_Beans:
Try wiping battery stats, then let the battery drain to 0% from 100%. Then charge the phone while it's off to 100% and it should be good to go :D.
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
I'll give this a try. Thanks!!
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:

Same here
[Nexus S General] MadFerIt2011:
No problem. It's a very odd bug and I'm hoping 2.3.3 fixes it.. As I notice another bug is introduced when USB Debugging is on :(.
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
So yesterday my battery was performing horribly. It died all the way, I then charged it from 0% to 100%. Usually it drops down to 97% right away, but it stayed at 100 , but once again dropped pretty quick. Its 9:30am, I took it off the charger at 5:00am and I'm already at 77% , with barely any use... Is this just me, or if this the norm.
[Nexus S General] ChrisJ:
Having applied the 2.3.3 update last night, I turned USB debugging off just to see if the /init process problem was fixed.

I'm happy to report that so far all is well, the CPU is scaling nicely and sitting nice and low when idling.
[Nexus S General] MadFerIt2011:
Reporting the same thing here, haven't noticed the bug reappear. Also loving the nice performance boost as well (1800 Quadrant score on stock 2.3.3!).

Anybody here has tried to use the "Hi-Fi Wireless Headset with FM Radio MW600" with the Ameo?

My Ameo has the (German) HTC WM6.0 stock ROM but I want wo try a WM6.1 ROM. I want to make calls with the MW600 bluetooth headset, voice dialing and audio steaming. And caller-id on WM600 display would be very nice.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] Purzelkater:
bluetooth disabled after pairing

Well, because nobody can (or want) to answer me, I had to test by myself. :(

The MW600 stereo bluetooth headset is a very nice gadget. With silver and white colors it looks very nice beside the Ameo (with has the same colors). :D The headset has two parts - a small controller with an oled display, some buttons and connectors and a good in-ear headset. The headset has very short wires but because you only have to connect it with the controller, it should be no problem. If you want another ear-phone you can connect every 3,5mm standard ear-phone.

The controller has buttons for on/off, call, play/pause, forward, backward and a volume slider. Pairing with the Athena was very easy, similar with other bluetooth headsets. The MW600 supports hands free and wireless stereo profile.

Once connected, the controller can pair the Arthena automatically - very nice. :)

With wireless stereo you can use the MW600 as a stereo ear-phone for music and videos. On CorePlayer you can control pause/play, forward, backward and skip over bluetooth and the controler can show the play time.

On incoming calls you see the phone number (not tested if caller-id/name is working) on the controller display. And you can use voice dial for making calls too.

The MW600 has a built-in RDS radio - very nice because the Athena has no radio. ;)

Well... but there is a big issue. :mad:

After Athena and MW600 are paired, the Athena disables bluetooth after some seconds.

I have tried some ROMS like original HTC WM6, irus' AP4 vanilla or AGB 3.0. On HTC WM6 I can't use the call button on the controller too. :eek:

On a WM6.1 ROM bluetooth is disabled but not the blue led. I had to disable and enable bluettoh some times to reactivate it.

On AGB 3.0, led and bluetooth state are identical and I can reactivate bluetooth with one simple click. The headset pairs automaticly on enabled bluetooth but after 10 seconds, bluetooth is disabled again. :confused:

Well, if I'm fast enough to start CorePlayer, I can use the headset without problems as stero head-phone. If I have a call, I can use the headset without problems too. Very strange.

Now I have deactivated wireless stereo on bluetooth settings and the connection was stable for some hours.

I have a simple Jabra BT2080 bluetooth headset to, only useable for mono hands free connections. But this works great with the Athena, stable connection for more than 8 hours.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] acrylic_26:
I able to pair this mw600 with my laptop and 2 phones(HTC Touch Pro2 and Sony Ericsson F305).

1) I can answer a call from SE F305 while on movie from laptop/FM/musci from HTC without any prob. The quality of this device SUPERB!!

2)The only prob is with HTC,I can't pair HTC with MW600 while on movie from laptop/FM/music from SE F305. I tried change many option and tweak but hopeless. Anyone have a solution for my problem?Or MW600 compatible multipoint with SE phones only?
