[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4el:
I recently flashed to cyano 7 RC. Ever since its seemed to me my battery life has been lower than with stock. This is contrary to the Roms reputation so I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I'm using the stock kernel mostly because I don't feel familiar enough with kernels to experiment yet.

Any advice would be great.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtbman:
I have been experiencing the same, although I have noticed my screen off battery is significantly improved. I've been running the nightlies for RC1 and every build the battery life can be a hit or miss with the stock kernels

chad's kernels for GB are AWSOME for battery life. remember to enter settings/cynogenmod/performance and set the cpu to smartass and the min to 128 and you should notice a huge differance.

also i like to wipe the delik cache right before flashing a new kernel. good luck
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4el:
I'm interested in knowing more about Kernel changes but so far I've been unable to find any comprehensive tutorials. Many of the stickies here at XDA assume a certain level of prior knowledge.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrillex1:
Its as simple as flashing a mod, just download, boot into recovery or install via rom manager, wipe data/cache.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Coming from someone that's been running Cyanogenmod 7 since 2-3 weeks before nightlies, and someone who doesn't charge their phone at night, I feel I have a little room to talk here. I am currently running the incredakernel by Chad. It has givin me the best balance of battery life and performance that I could possibly find (and I have tried all 2.3 compatible kernels, and some 2.2 kernels) I'm not saying he has the one and only good kernel, though it works great for me.

Smartass Govenor

128-1036 clock settings

Don't use Setcpu or anything. Smartass has a screen off built in so it gets amazing battery life. I've tried several, and found the best was not using it at all. Some say conservative gives better battery, and I can say that's false on all of my testing. One last thing. Every phone is different, and everyone's taste is too. This is not the only option, but my personal, opinion. Good luck :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4el:
If something goes wrong with a kernel flash clockwork will still function right? That is to say that clockwork does not rely on the kernel at all?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shellcode:
Has anyone been able to get an hboot console on the Hero? I'm trying these instructions:

http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC...ctingusingserial-over-USBtotalktoRadioorHBoot

but I'm not able to get a console. Actually, the PID of the phone remains 0x0FFF, as in fastboot mode, so I think my computer doesn't even see the phone when it is in hboot. Is it necessary to build a special cable for this?

I have been able to get an hboot console on other phones, using the same process.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirow:
Hi,

I'm hoping somebody here can help or at least point me in the right direction, I have an O2 branded HTC Desire that was running the latest stock firmware which I rooted via unrevoked. I wanted to update the firmware to the latest available firmware from O2 and I was advised against going the OTA route unless I unrooted my phone.

I tried unrooting via an RUU (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_O2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe) which failed right at the end with a "file read error" and some text telling me to try a different RUU or try again later, my phone now just displays the HTC logo with a warning symbol in every corner. I've since tried a few different RUU's but none of them work. I can't seem to get into recovery, fastboot and while my computer still detects my phone I've no clue how to get it functioning again.

Any pointers or should I chance it and send it off for repair?

Edit: Managed to get it to boot now, got recovery and fastboot working, now I just need to see if I can get a rom on it that'll support OTA with O2.
[Xoom General] Bielinsk:
I look at the specs, and all the pretties between the Xoom and the iPad 2 and the only thing I am envious about is that damn netflix. I am very very disappointed we don't have it at release and really no word in site about when / if the Xoom will get it.

Oh, and that magnetic cover is kind of cool.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Xoom will be getting it as it was announced for Tegra 2 processors. Who knows when though.
[Xoom General] nbajwill55:
Yeah I hate waiting for the native Netflix & Hulu apps.

PlayOn could be a good alternative in the meantime, but the Xoom needs Flash for it to work. It's subscription based and a little pricey (about $40), but it works great on my Droid X.
[Xoom General] skullvet:
Can't agree more. They need to get Netflix done, NOW! Even the Nintendo 3ds will have Netflix. Windows phone 7 has it. This is ridiculous.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
I still want netflix for ubuntu.
[Xoom General] kwx:
This is the closest I've seen resembling an official statement, but no date. Hoping it'll be soon. I'm sure there are plenty of people here who'd be happy to beta test.

[Xoom General] skullvet:
Actually not, how long has the 2.2 sdk and the 2.1 sdk been out? How long has netflix been on icrap? Since August of 2010.
[Xoom General] hi_its_ryan:

[Xoom General] Eclair~:
I love the magnetic cover thing. I can't wait until somewhat rips that off... if possible.
[Xoom General] csmith75:
Netflix needs to hurry up. I hate to say it, but not having Netflix on a 10-inch tablet is almost a dealbreaker for me. Hulu and Netflix are probably my top two apps that I use on the iPad.

I would feel a lot more comfortable about purchasing a wifi Xoom if I knew it would absolutely have Netflix.
[Xoom General] hi_its_ryan:
All trolling aside, if you are really so dense as to not understand why netflix apps are popping up exclusively on closed software ecosystems and not android (hint: google "DRM") I should be the one spamming :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

NetFlix will be probably be released on a device-by-device basis as they figure out how design their software around protecting those who have the means to protect themselves
[Xoom General] waltah!:
Netflix is kind of a must have app for me in my personal usage. I like to use it while on break at work. I have an iPad and I had an iP4 until pretty recently and they both play Netflix and Hulu really well. I have an Atrix now and love it, but no Netflix kinda sucks. I want to get a Xoom and give my gf the iPad but I want some Netflix action. If the lapdock dock for the Atrix wasn't so overpriced I'd pull the trigger on that because it will at least work with Hulu's normal site.
[Xoom General] techs1200:
You seem to be ignoring the netflix player that works on just about every PC known to man. PC is certainly not 'closed'. Also, you probably meant to say 'walled garden'...
[Xoom General] labbbby:
My question is what does this mean:

Pluggable DRM framework

Android 3.0 includes an extensible DRM framework that lets applications manage protected content according to a variety of DRM mechanisms that may be available on the device. For application developers, the framework API offers an consistent, unified API that simplifies the management of protected content, regardless of the underlying DRM engines.​

And how would that affect/help Netflix
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
With the recent changes to Apple's subscription requirements, doesn't Netflix now have to offer a subscription for the same price or less in the itunes store? Since Apple takes 30% of all those purchases, I wonder how long it's going to take until Netflix gets pulled from iOS entirely.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I'm pretty sure the only reason we don't have netflix is because of Dalvik. It's incredibly hard to obfuscate your code enough to stop people from figuring out how you're decrypting the video stream. Now that processors are coming out with security features built in, they won't have to worry about that....

That's my thought anyway.
[Xoom General] dadoc04:
Netflix and air video server are needed.....

Guess im buying an ipad2

Sent from my HTC Evo
[Xoom General] labbbby:
Tried Plex?

edit: for air video substitute
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
I guess PC World thinks the same thing I do, iOS could lose Netflix support due to their new subscription services requirements, along with Hulu, Kindle, Dropbox, and Rhapsody, but they left out Audible who have already involved lawyers. Either Apple will have to back off or they are going to lose some of their best apps.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2197..._plans_5_services_that_could_get_screwed.html

So I wouldn't go for an iPad over a Xoom for Netflix. Xoom will get it eventually, and iPad may lose it.

Once flash is available, what is preventing us from loading up the netflix website and streaming that way instead of an app?

Also, since Amazon now offers free movie and TV rentals to Amazon Prime subscribers ($79 a year, +free 2 day shipping and $5 next day air along with other perks) how much you want to bet they'll have an Android streaming app to launch with their new Amazon Android App Store supposedly launching this month?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Troll. Airplay is only compatible with AppleTV... there are DLNA apps like Airtwist that will work with any of your DLNA devices, your xbox, pc, ps3, tv, setop box...

To me, Airplay is one of those Apple anti-features... it looks great at the start, but then you realize just how much apple stuff you have to buy to make it work.
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
What would stop us is that the website uses the silverlight plugin and not flash. The open source port called moonlight lacks drm.
[Xoom General] skullvet:
I have checked all of your 13 posts, and over half of them are attacking people for no reason with stupid, snide remarks. Grow the hell up, or shut the hell up.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
What are you talking about? No one even mentioned airplay in this thread. If you dont know what you are talking about, how about not talking???
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Thanks for that helpful post. Read the quoted text, he is asking why it doesn't have airplay.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
No, he very clearly is not.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Instead of being a complete and total jerk you could have told me why I was wrong. Air video sounds to me what someone who doesn't quite know what Airplay is called would call it. Turns out it's an iOS app.

Thanks!
[Xoom General] wynand32:
I've wondered: does PlayOn work over the Internet, or just on the local network?
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Instead of calling that guy a troll you could have googled Air Video. Instead of trying to correct me you could have googled what Air Video was. Air video is probably the best application that iOS has. Pretty much anyone who has used iOS would know what Air Video is.

You are welcome!
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I haven't used iOS in years, sorry.
[Xoom General] ejlax:
It works over the internet; however you have to have first hooked it up on a local network

[Xoom General] waltah!:
Netflix uses Silverlight I believe and flash alone isn't enough.
[Xoom General] diaa08:
Last official word from Netflix was back in November:

http://blog.netflix.com/2010/11/netflix-on-android.html

That being said, we need neither flash not silverlight because if/when we get it Netflix will likely use similar technology as it does on iOS which lacks both.

Like it has been said above, this is mostly a DRM issue, and one that is getting increasingly closer to resolution. The studios are not exactly logical about this and are just paranoid about this stuff so Netflix needs to assuage their fears.

Hei... any more details about Plex?
[Xoom General] dadoc04:
WOW thanks man... I will be trying this out tonight!!! Netflix and streaming from my home computers are a big deal for me, so hopefully I like this app.

Very much appreciated..
[Xoom General] JStu313:
I've tested Amazon VOD on my EVO and it works, so I would think the only thing we'll need on the Xoom is Flash. I use a browser to stream now, but a separate app would be nice!

i tried plex on my xoom and it doenst work at all, i couldnt play any video.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Alright, Plex is $5? I would buy it, but it has mixed reviews. I have a desktop PC that I currently stream videos to my Xbox. I would like to use it to stream Netflix to my Xoom though (which I can then connect via HDMI to my TV?)

I can't get Netflix on my TV because it requires a Gold Live! account and it's being used on my other xbox.

So, question is, how well does Plex work? Can I stream other media to the TV? Amazon video on demand and the like?

Never heard of it until this thread...

Edit:

I'm not sure how the above user is watching netflix and hulu, since according to Plex, they aren't supported yet:
[Xoom General] dadoc04:
Im not using plex on a XOOM...

Earlier in this thread i was saying that because Netflix and Air video arent available for android, im gonna end up getting an iPad even though the Xoom was what I wanted.

The user Labby then suggested "PLEX" which surely does my video streaming from my mac as well as Netflix on my Evo...

Xoom functionality is also in the works as mentioned by the guys on the support forums. So thats why I thanked him and said I dont have to get an iPad.

Hope this clears up my previous post.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
The most widespread theory is you should first charge it all the way up, bump charge it once more, then clear the battery stats. You should then proceed to let the battery drain all the way down to 0, and when you recharge the software should charge the battery to a fuller amount.

Of course I don't know how much truth that actually has. I know when I did that, the next day wasn't great, but everyday after that for the next few days got marginally better (less of a drop in the morning).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whethers:
As far as i understand it (i'm not an expert, just read a LOT of threads) wiping the battery stats won't have any effect on how well the battery charges - it just helps the phone report an accurate percentage as the battery discharges
