i Took a quick stroll through your post history.

Lets look at some of the recent titles that you've posted

Now i do see some post where you are asking legit questions. So i'll play nice. Those seem pretty troolish.
[Off-topic] sundayhustler:
I have a MT4G and yes, the battery life does kind of suck. But the phone itself is still amazing and the battery is easy to pop out and replace. So I bought 3 extra batteries and a standalone charger off of ebay for like $14 or so. I just always keep 3 batteries fully charged and swap em out. Problem solved.
[Off-topic] domineus:
if you have to do that to stay charged something is wrong

as far as the OP goes, I almost agree. However, the HD2 is a flavor that is different. I had one. My battery in windows mobile by about april was easily 18-22 hours on moderate - heavy use. Perhaps the major problem is that you're in high school and want to match your friends who also are walking contradictions of an apple repetitive machine? And if that's the case, perfectly well. But it would make you a sheep...

And while it is very good to say that you're a junior and coasting through your classes, can you honestly say the same in college or grad school? What is your class schedule? Scholars/AP courses? Heck even honors courses? If not, what a waste of space...

But you really didn't give an opinion besides battery life. I like that my dvp can go 2 and a half days (without tweaks) on moderate to heavy usage. I can understand the charm of the iphone (actually no I can't understand it), but I can say it is the definition of status. Meh well...

Go read a book junior...

26)Mytouch 4g-Tmobile

27)HTC HD7-Tmobile

28)Iphone 4-Verizon

Awaiting my 29th device in 3 years

which will either be Sidekick 4g(If i decide to stay with Tmobile and suffer through android) or HTC mozart on Verizon

Android OS:

I love the apps, I love the hardware but the Software to me and it's user experience is so half-done to me. They have amazing hardware and it seems

like Android users settle for that just because they await root to fix an issue

they have...I prefer out of box, everything to work near perfectly. Battery life

has never been an issue. I am heavy user so i expect low battery life.

IOS:

I despise itunes...Even though I love Apple's products. They have the best hardware and a decent experience but Itunes really kills this OS for me. I could

care less about it being closed

Webos:

Horrible hardware, But THE BEST OPERATING SYSTEM I HAVE USED TO DATE. Honestly, I am willing to suffer through the horrible hardware they produce

because the user experience of Webos is amazing with the cards and just

fluidity of it. Love love love, webos but hate any hardware that holds it.

Windows Phone 7:

My favorite and in my opinion best hardware+software/user experience. Yes, Zune is required to Sync pics and what not but it is not as annoying as itunes.

It is definitely more fluid than Android. It lacks multi-tasking, yes but it has a quick restart time for each app. Xbox live integration is great, Social networking is great and the user experience is great. No lag, No having to make sure to delete the cache or make sure this app is closed or that app is closed like on Android. It lacks the customization of android but in reality, i dont need 500 widgets crowding my screen up. I am content with my live tiles and 2 screens.

Battery life is what it is. If you are a power user of course it will die earlier. My friend has a droid x and never actually does anything with it except an occasional text and phone call and gets 30 hours or more.

I text all the time(2000+ daily), I am listening to music, Video chatting or calling someone or just playing a game or watching netflix...I am lucky if i can get 4 hours out of my phone.

OP, I've got the perfect solution to your battery woes. You can either do like the kid I quoted and by multiple batteries to swap out or, since you seem to be rolling in money and have had a multitude of cell phones you can do like me...

...and instead of buying multiple batteries, buy multiple phones to swap out during the day. ^^^

That's 2 G1's (one is broken) 2 Nexus One's, a Vibrant, a MT4G, the HD7 (I only use that one if I wanna watch Netflix because I found out the hard way that Windows Phone 7 OS sucks ass) and the iPhone 4. (I bought it for ****s and giggles. Never activated it but I did jailbreak it so I use it for the games and music player) Problem solved! :D
[Off-topic] datfk:
Alright guys lets start with the fact that you guys cannot say I am wrong about the HD2, because of the reason that it is MY opinion. There is nothing wrong about that. I already stated in previous posts that it's all about personal choice. It's just something about me (and I think everyone else) that when I want a certain object in the first 5 mins (Car, Phone, computer, console, etc.) almost nothing can stop that turn on that I have for the next few weeks. If I have 1 cent in my pocket I will go out of my way and find a way to achieve that amount in a very short period of time (no physical work, no begging). Anyway I am getting a lil off topic... What I am saying is that I just walked outside to work out with 100% battery on my phone. After 4 hours of making only about five 2 minute calls and one text, connected to edge, stock MT4G rom. No music, no browsing, nothing. Guess how much battery I had left? 48 ****ing percent. I took a shower and 40 minutes later I have 38% left.

Again, I LOVE android, but the battery kills it for me. Now my stance on WP7? Its interface is great, I researched it a little, I used it a little, but the lack of a large app market kills it for me. Many features are there, but many are missing. I love the WP7 interface, and it looks better than any other OS there, but I know I will get bored of it since I am not going to buy a phone just because of the way it looks.

And calling me spoiled? Never was never will be. Addicted to phones? Never was never will be. Want to have something that could entertain me and last long? Definetely. I know even with an iPhone 4 I will get bored with it. I need change in my life, I'm one of these people who would have a Lamborghini and after two years would have to change it, even if I have to downgrade.

carmeng4evr, you are a little spoiled, and I thought I have alot of phones.

domineus, I have 1 AP class, 3 Honors class, coming to school without a notebook, getting 90+ on every test, getting yelled at for not copying notes, fighting alot in school. Never touched a cig or marijuana in my life. Didn't drink more than 5 mg of alcohol in my entire life (considering one shot of vodka contains atleast 25 mg of liquid, correct me if I am wrong). I never asked for a penny from my parents to buy any gadgets or clothes or just about anything since I was 13. I am a Hair cutter (9 months), web designer, small time stock investor (With my older brother), Phone repairman and dealer, and a graphic designer. That's a little bit of my personality, so you won't say I'm spoiled.

julez456, whatta show off... believe me I don't have more than one or two (which I had only for a short period of time) High-end smartphones at the same time. I sell and buy constantly.

darinmc, You seriously made my day, I laughed for 5 minutes at the shortest post in this thread.

I WILL OBVIOUSLY SELL MY MT4G FOR ATLEAST 350 BEFORE BUYING A $500 (UNLOCKED) IPHONE 4.

Seems like gaming is more important to you than browsing the web because an iPhone with only Edge might as well be an iTouch. Save your parents the monthly bill and buy an iTouch and a prepaid phone that you can use to call them when you're waiting at the bus stop.

Great line my friend, smart too.

joeyklatzko, listen buddy don't judge because of age. I pay my own phone bill. I had an iTouch + G705 back in 08. I want the best of the best. That's my personality, and many others have that kind of personality. Some aim to the minmum and same at the max. I aim at the max.
[Off-topic] julez456:
Not showing off..just proud of my collection I guess. I don't like having sellers remorse so I decided to keep all my devices from now on unless I really needed the money. I sold my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 a couple years back and regret it ever since. Even tho I was never a Windows Mobile fan, that phone was pretty slick. It had the best physical keyboard I ever used on ANY phone including all the Sidekicks I had and the Sidekick keyboards were nice too.

You mentioned you were a phone repairman..as in cell phone repair I'm hoping? I have a question about one of my Nexus One's if you can help. The trackball won't scroll to the right. It'll spin to the right but when I do there is no movement on the screen and it's quite annoying that it works in every other direction but to the right. Any suggestions?
[Off-topic] datfk:
Altough i've never dealt or educated myself with this specific model (Or any android phone with a trackpad or trackball), Don't quote me, but I'm 95% sure. There are four sensors on each side of the trackball. When you move it to a certain direction it hits a small trigger/sensor that would tell the phone to register that direction on the phone. You can find further proof for this when you open Terminal, and move the ball to any direction. For example if you move it down Terminal will show you something like (^D) Again, something like that...

So one of the sensors was could have been damaged by even the smallest drop of water, or even some dust. I had a simillar situation with a blackberry 4 years ago when I gave it to a repairman and he told me that all he did to fix it is open it up and carefully clean the sensors.

Hope this helped.

If you are in the NYC area, Chinatown is the number one spot for expensive repairs. But they are worth it if you dont know what you are doing

An iphone with edge is still better than an ipod touch. Not everyone needs or requires 3g.

All the phones i listed earlier in this thread, i've used various phones for certain companies on different companies.

Not everyone cares about 3g or 4g because as long as i have wi-fi, I am good to go :)

As far as gaming, Android sucks at gaming(has for awhile). I love my xbox live on my HD7 and even the iphone has some great games.

There is like one game i like to play that i am not sure IOS and I know WP7 doesn't have and that is robodefense

You're basically not very smart.

I've never run out of battery while out and about on any of my Android devices, except when I was still running stock Eclair on my old SGS.

I get nearly two days of heavy use out of my MT4G running CM7 RC2.

[Off-topic] domineus:
wait a minute why does he have to be stupid because he doesn't get your results? And why does a user have to root and flash a custom rom if the phone works so fantastic out of the fricking box?

The circuitous logic by some android fanboys never ceases to amaze me seriously. Now I can understand if personal results vary, but no need to call someone not smart.

In many ways I do agree with the OP; if we are talking about out of the box experience, even the HD2 had some hiccups and took several updates from HTC to fix somethings (camera, 3.5g bug, lag bug). So if he's going off out of the box experience, he would be upset; rightfully so.

Yes on windows mobile, custom roms (duttythroy specifically) gave me fantastic results, but it always left me doing a 20-30 minute flash and restore everything every single time - sometimes every morning. At first I didn't mind or care about it. But then android came, and then I got an android device. I realized how much time is really spent doing all of the tweaking to have a phone I just paid easily almost half a grand on to work for me and school.

Windows phone 7, with its faults, I don't really have to do that. It works, and for the first time, the device felt like an upgrade and also felt like I didn't have to waste time. Just turn it on. So in that vein, I can sympathize with the OP.

But, on the other hand, if the OP is merely listing battery life and not the limitations of custom roms just for the sake of getting an iphone 4, that's counterintuitive. There's no question that apple appeals to the adolescent/early adult demographic because it is seemingly trendy. Personally, while the iphone worked out of the box, I hated the experience and found it as an overpriced paper weight. Especially after I got the HD2. Does it have better gaming? Sure I liked playing street fighter 4 on there. But beyond a few titles, the keyboard, and the smooth scroll iphone os has, that's it.

I personally think in general, the phones have to have an evolution and I am praying microsoft ushers that evolution. Hell let's be real. Google has no problem with h/w acceleration (horrible btw) or fragmentation (idiots), apple iOS feels like a bloated desktop interface full of icons, but you have to literally jailbreak and break a leg to customize. I'm honestly hoping windows phone lives up to its adage and saves us from our phones.

And do the same with tablets. Please. iOS and honeycomb respectively...suck...
[Off-topic] :
When it comes down to it ios one does not use alot of resources. Fragmentation also makes it harder to develop apps. Diffrent sizes phones and diffrent hardware plays a role in it also. Companines like T-mobile who make their own overlay which is no better than a hack job. Google os is open but needs to put some hardware limitation/ and software limitation on it. The biggest one is that we dont have hardware acceleration and probaly wont see till ice cream samwich on are phones. We can have great gpu but wont see it unless we are on honeycomb or above. Basically the cpu is doing all the work. Unless your gaming.

there's a step missing in the 2nd post. what you'll need to do is flash cwm red and also find a new update.zip file. the reason why you're booting in cwm3 is because of your current update.zip file. go to the irc channel and see if someone can send you an update.zip file to replace your current on in the root of your sd card. make sure they're not running cwm3 otherwise you'll have the same problem. ask someone who's running cwm red or cwm green.

I apologize if this is already answered somewhere. I searched everywhere and could not find anything, but I might be using the wrong wording.

Anyways I am attempting to root my G2. I have managed to get adb onto the computer and it recognizes my phone. However, the next step in the wiki says to:

ON YOUR PC: Unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:

$ adb push su /sdcard/su

$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage

$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox

$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root

$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*​

However, it gives me error messages such as 'adb' is not recognized. I'm sure I am missing stupid but I cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance.

Hey people.

ami304d is one of the process's that wastes more battery on my LG P500.

Does anyone know what that is?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
from googling i think its activity manager..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vonpire:
It's compass deamon. I think it's a bug. There are some apps that when you open make that process eat always 5 , 6 % cpu until you restart phone.

I can't post in kernel threads else I would have warned the devs there to this case.

I'm trying to deal with it for long !
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
Sensors ami304d driver. Try replacing driver (maybe it's possible by replacing bin driver and replacing some lines on thunderg.rc).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vonpire:
Humm, and you know how to do that? XD

Thanks in advance
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dr.notor:
Maybe post which ROM and kernel are you using? Never seen this eating any battery, are you using some crazy monitoring widget or what?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vonpire:
Hi dr.notor.

I have GB_@_2.3.3_V1.2 ROM and last kernel from Franco franco.Kernel |.v1-16082011| 2.6.35.14

I see this bug(?) in various other kernels (paolo v3 v4 v5 v6 (in v6 i only found this once in other it's everyday until reboot...) )

And yes I use the only one app that I found that monitors all your system processes - OS Monitor (available on market and very nice)

Really hoping for a solution to this.

Thank you.

P.S. - If it helps it appears randomly but on some kernels the way to accurate reproduce this constant cpu usage was opening google sky map...

And even if i killed the system process (ami304d) it would be relaunched again using the same amount of cpu. After rebooting no more cpu use for this until it happens again. It can be in a simple hours on even 1 day after. The truth is that it always happen no matter what. One time even happened that i checked processes and ami304d was using 0% cpu and in morning after, without any phone use it was already eating constantly 4/5 % cpu.

In practice this takes out 1/2 fps in every game, for example in quadrant. It's really annoying to have to reboot phone every day :(

So I don't know if it's kernel or rom bug but I guess it's kernel.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dr.notor:
# top | grep ami304d
PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name
2119 0% S 1 1100K 464K fg root /system/bin/ami304d

Sorry, it uses no CPU here. Google Sky Map sucking for you is not a kernel bug. :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vonpire:
As I said it happens everyday here, using or no using google sky maps :P

Sometimes I don't even use any compass/gps app and it happens anyway.

Just keep checking it, if you can after 1 or two days of use without reboot.

But I see a difference here ... my ami304d owner is compass user and not root like yours...

Maybe this is the problem? Should I change the owner of ami304d?

# top | grep ami304d

PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name

1459 4% S 1 1124K 440K fg compass /system/bin/ami304d

After reboot...

# top | grep ami304d

PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name

1460 0% S 1 1124K 448K fg compass /system/bin/ami304d

Damn :)

Thanks anyway.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dr.notor:
Oh uh, no... do not mess with the filesystem permissions. UID of the process has nothing to do with that. Clearly something that runs with compass UID launches its own instance of this stuff and fails to terminate it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vonpire:
I have found a way of reproducing this behavior and the cause of it...

Any app that uses that ami driver and is exited through an exit command (for example androsensor from market) causes this behavior. If is left running in background the process goes back to no cpu use. Please who can test this.

Thanks
