[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
You're running some apps that drain your battery. I've gotten 30 hours plus from both Trigger (older version) and the latest Bionix. On the newest Trigger right now and it's even better.

Are you in a low signal area? Are you using screen brightness on high? Are you leaving wifi on when not connected to a network? There are lots of things that can cause poor battery life. I can assure you it's not the ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbamade:
Sweet Honey 2.5 running 2.2.1! by far the best.

Battery life is amazing and signal is great.

running it stock install OS 1.4.1 kernel and ka6 modem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxc668:
I have the same question like u, I want to find a really amazing ROM too
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckpheniX:
First off, asking a question like that you will never get a straight answer.

Reason being: If everyone thought the same ROM was the best and only used the one ROM, there would be no need for the other ones on there.

The right answer is going to depend on what you are looking for. More speed? More battery? or somewhere in the middle.

I have run most of the current ROM's from EDT, and TW. They are all pretty damn amazing. What is going to make more of a difference will be what Kernel you are running. Also, if you OC (overclock) or UV (undervolt). There are going to be other things that will eat battery. Mainly apps, mail, and anything else that depends on wireless data when the phone is idle.

read, read, read.... I was once a NOOB, and by all accounts, still am one. (just a noob that has flashed a lot and read a lot in these threads)

:D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
what an arrogant and stupid way to start a call for help thread by insulting one if not the best custom rom out there. Seriously try thinking brfore making such an idiotic statements.

Well said.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTOJim:
The best rom I have used is Atriac v2. I like Team Whiskey roms.

Atriac is just as fast with Voodoo disabled as it is with it enabled. Quadrant benchmark is slower with Voodoo disabled but as many others have said Quadrant isn't an accurate gauge.

I have one app that used to take at least 5 seconds to load. Lag fixes greatly reduced the apps load time. Atriac with Voodoo disabled loads that app just as quickly as using a lag fix.

Besides being the fastest, Atriac is the smoothest rom I have used.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madguitarist63:
First man, don't insult the Dev's on here. They all spend their time developing Rom's, Kernels, Themes and many other great things for our phones. Insulting them does not help you get your problem solved and makes people not want to help you. We love our Developers here and show them respect for the work they do for us. Whenever you have a problem with a ROM don't insult the Developers work rather first see if it is truly the ROM or if it is user error (no offense intended). Next if you still don't like the ROM then flash a new one. There are plenty to choose from. I personally use Simply Honey 2.5 with Overstock 1.5. Battery life is good, super smooth and really snappy. Give it a shot hopefully it might answer your questions and be what your looking for.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbudden:
I don't get the greatest battery life with HSDPA enabled, I also only get 1-3 bars which I know isn't helping my battery life at all.

I tried this below.

It works, I get 4-5 bars w/ EDGE. But when I get a phone call and talk on the phone. Weird things happen. Suddenly my phone mutes and the backlight turns off and on. This doesn't happen when it's set to 3G.

I tried this one below.

But it doesn't allow me to change anything. I get some "RAT is blocked" or something message.

Not sure what to do, any suggestions? Details of my phone are in my sig.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbudden:
Update.

It's still not sticking on GSM mode. It just switches itself back to 3G. That's without turning it off or turning on Airplane mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Are you running a ROM or kernel? If you are have you tried switching the ROM or using a different Modem to see if that helps you?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbudden:
Running the stock 2.2 ROM w/ SpeedMOD kernel.

I would flash another modem, but two things.

1. can't seem how to do so.

2. it seems that there is only one ROM that will work. and it's the stock one installed. unless i go to a i9000 based ROM that has many different modems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rrryan2:
*#301279#

To disable hspa. Hspa adds some drain, but what can really kill battery is if the signal isn't good enough to reliably hold am hspa connection and it switches back and forth constantly. .
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbudden:
Yeah, when I switch it to GSM mode. I get 4-5 bars, but whenever I get a phone call. It wants to switch itself back to 3G.

I've used that code to turn off HSDPA, but it continues to say so in the Status menu. Not sure what's going on lol.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willgill:
I have several contact numbers set with autopauses

Example: 1-800-555-5555ppp1p235#

The "p" means pause.

When I try to dial those numbers on the Atrix it immediately gives me the error, Network not available.

Is there something other than "p" that the Atrix recognizes as a pause?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentdr8:
The Atrix uses the comma character as a pause, not the 'p' character. Try that.
[EVO 4G General] renizo:
Omg i just finally saw the samsung galaxy S for t-mobile and man it looks sweet. The phone fells nice and the screen sexy as hell. One thing i notice we both work in same places so i dont gdt how he gets 4g in the building but i dont and i got sprint and we have 4g first whats sup with the Evo? :(
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
**edit**

nevermind, I'm a retard and mis-read.

I don't know man, I don't even have 4g in Roanoke,VA. Prolly won't for a long, long time.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
It doesn't and neither does T-mobile
[EVO 4G General] r916:

[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Yea, I mis-read and made an edit.
[EVO 4G General] r916:
While not technically being 4g it's still more nationwide then sprint's and imo faster. fastest ive ever gotten is 7-10mbps ive seen tmobile get 12+mbps same city from tmobile.
[EVO 4G General] renizo:
You have to be kidding i left my really good T-Mobile plan to come to Sprint when the evo came out and T-mobile is faster damn for some reason i thought Sprint was faster it gets worse lol
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
Our 4g does not work in buildings.... lol
[EVO 4G General] r916:
I miss Tmobile :(

I only came to sprint because of the price and the evo.

Though wimax has improved a lot around here anyways, i get 3 bars now where I used to get maybe 1 so it has improved if it doesn't get better I'm going back to tmobile or verizon possibly.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] redsunrising:
For those who haven't seen the news that the Netflix apk was taken from the LG Revolution system dump I thought I'd provide the apk for anyone wanting it.

I'm assuming this isn't a violation in anyway, but if so I apologize.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/1...cation-pulled-from-lg-revolution-system-dump/

For those wishing to follow the development of this app on a general Android level I'll include the appropriate thread. Also I will try to provide updates as they come along, but if someone else catches it first let me know and I'll change the OP accordingly.

UPDATE (03-15-11): Now included is the DRM apk found within the LG Revolution. Credit given to cheebahawk over on the EVO forum. Also it is very likely this this will be a no-go given the DRM issue, but I have confidence that those who want this will try their hardest.

UPDATE (03-24-11): Attached is the new apk (com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk) that auto-updated and included streaming on 03-23-11. However, Netflix has since shutdown streaming again. The attached files may still be useful.

UPDATE (03-27-11): Netflix has since completed shutdown access to their system from the Android app. Users are no longer able to access any functions of Netflix service.

UPDATE (03-28-11): Netflix has turned the service back on, so back functions have been restored. However, streaming is still a no-go.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sms440:
Thanks man. Too bad we can't stream anything yet. The guys in the Evo thread have been trying to fix this problem and I hope they do.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] POQbum:
If it can't stream then what's the point of having it?

Does it download anything?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] redsunrising:
Mainly just the ability to edit your Instant Queue. Also once Netflix has the service up it "should" stream
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bgill55:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ProTekk:
If you'd actually read, it's not working. They are working on it so give it time. It's from a completely different system so it isn't hard to understand why it doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] urbanrunner:
Like many already posted, i have it installed on my rooted incredible. Again you can manage your instant que only. When you try to stream you get the "1005 error." Excited to see what the Devs. can do!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ProTekk:
Seems like they're waiting for the service to actually go online. Only so much you can do with a non-available service :/
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sms440:
Actually from what I've herd from the Evo forums its a DRM issue that needs to fixed to make it work.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TokedUp:
Would love to have this app.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] loudambiance:
From my understanding of all that has been said about the Netflix app and what Netflix has said in the past, it requires a phone with a chip that has DRM baked in, so the chip in the Incredible and Evo isn't new enough and will not work unless they hack the app and bypass the DRM requirement. (Which begs the question of whether the phone can manage the DRM via software and keep up)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] gtcakes:
How nice of you to say, but some Inc users have been getting it to work. I understand it doesn't stream, but it closes after I login. I was just telling other people for reference.

Geeze...

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Mithos der Held:
Mine works minus the streaming which is understand. I can view and search and edit my queue however.If I attempt to stream it says it could not contact the service and kicks me out to the main screen.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Whoareyou:
When I use it (streaming), it just loads, and loads, and loads.... no error anymore, it did at first, but now it just loads forever....

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] k_flan:
This plus playon.tv = awesome.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] art010606:
Any word on an update on this? I think its netflix side on this based off the not able to receive info from server error and the netflix site saying Android (obsolete) under list of devices. Once the service goes live I think it should work.

really guys? to answer the question: apparently it is rooted and using universal anroot? it also runs the archos OS? this is what ive gathered so far...
[Off-topic] murfoid:
not much info yet...

Before being rude, maybe some folks should take their own advice and 'google it' to see if there is actually any useful information available.

All I've found after weeks of extensive searching (and I even used a few sources other than the great god google, imagine that!) is that (a) it can be rooted with newer versions of 'universal androot' and (b) someone has suggested that it may be similar enough to one version of the Archos tablet to use that firmware although no one has reported that they've tried and succeeded, and (c) much unverified talk that the hardware isn't sufficient to run anything better than 1.5,

Also interesting and somewhat funny is that if you check the nextbook's website in the download section with Firefox you see only see a couple of software package upgrades, but check it with Internet Explorer and you get more info to the effect that upgrades are "Coming Soon!!!". "Soon' in this case being at least >= about 4 weeks.

An update to even Android 1.6 would be a big help. Unfortunately, with my very limited knowledge of Android/tablets/etc. I'm not ready to try it myself without reports of success from others. It's too useful as is to turn into a brick since there is a lot of software that does work on it (you just have to invest the time to look and try a lot of it to find the right stuff). You might even want to try 'google' to find slightly older (but working) versions of some apps.;)

Cheers, and good luck!

I just bought this device for $89 from Big Lots and I have been googling for the past hour. There's not much about this tablet or any of of the Nextbook products. For that reason also it's probably going back next week. My box says it comes with 2.1 so I assume there is at least an upgrade available from the site. I'd love to be able to reflash this and de-ebook it and have a general android tablet to self customize. It's got a dual core 600mhz.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Chances are if you can't find the info by a quick Google search then you are s**t outta luck. XDA isn't a place where you can magically find the solution to every tech issue you will ever encounter.

One rule of thumb i have when buying a device is whether it is popular enough to have good support from the dev community. If you buy without checking first it becomes a crap-shoot. If you owned a HD2 you would be in luck...but some random device, what are the odds?

Everything has a shelf-life and even the more popular devices will stop being supported eventually. Rather than adapting the device to suit your needs, why not adapt your needs to suit the device? It doesn't need to be running the latest and greatest software to be functional after all. People have converted old Win 98 PC's to be media servers, hardware firewalls, etc.

i also got one from biglots, and for $89 it does e-books, mp3 and video, web browsing with wifi and i can take my sd card out of my camera on vacation and view my photos and upload to facebook.

Nextbook 2 root and Market

I've been able to root my Nextbook 2 using freeware tools: Z4Root and Universal Androot. Even though I tried to make it permanent, it seems to revert to a non-rooted state when rebooted.

I'm still working on getting Google Market and other Google apps working. I'll post when I do.

For me, even just having a tablet with a web browser and book reader is worth the price. I used to try reading books and browsing the web on my Android phone, but the screen is just too small.

[Off-topic] JimGoda:
I also bought from BigLots. I would be happy to learn how you used the freeware tools that you mentioned. Like others, I have searched for many days but can not find out even how to root it temporarily, let alone flash a new ROM. the tools seem to be out there, but how do you put them on the device?

Button combinations at power-on? Put the software on SD? I have done this with other devices, but they tell you how to go into recovery mode.

[Off-topic] scottmcgee:
Like others, I got one from Big Lots. $89! Oh, and it has android 2.1 on it!. I had also found the previously mentioned thread before this one. It has 86 pages of posts and most are NOT about the next2 (next3 and a few nearly identical devices with other names). Most of the ROMs posted there are for those other devices with a larger screen and therefore not useable on the next2. It does have some info on how to modify those for use with the next2.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to identify exactly what is in the rom on page one of that thread. If anyone does load it, please id the os version, if it is fully rooted, and if it has the market app in it please. Probably a good thing to load if you have android 1.5 on your next2.

Oh, I haven't read even a third of the posts, but when I read more, if I find something useful, I will report back here.

Oh, and twitch351, if you don't want to help someone because you don't think they have put in time already, researching it, why don't you just ignore them rather than being a butthead about it? I HAVE been doing the research, and you were wasting my time too.

Vaelpac has hit it on the head. We need those lib files. The media player accesses the Netflix lib .so file, and that accesses the omx files. May just be that simple, but we wont know till we have that.
