Any way at all to keep browser open in background so that I can lock it and have something streaming still? I've been listening to radio 1 from the BBC and I always have to keep it unlocked and have the browser open....

You using it over wifi? Its probably the wifi going to sleep. Try changing its sleep policy (settings-> wireless -> wifi settings -> menu -> advanced
No just while driving around on 3g. I wanna stream a show in the browser and be able to be on my home screen.

the phone is probably going to sleep. I guess the browser isnt able (by design) to keep the phone awake.
You might be better off with a internet radio app?
Yeah I wanna be able to have the browser stay open and stream when I go to check a text. I figure people. Would want to know how to do this since we have flash now ya know? Trying to find an app now..
We'll see.

I think its a battery saver. Unless u mod the browser its unlikely u'll find a simple solution.
I thought beebplayer did radio too?
also there's an app called UKRadio that should work too
I'm trying to stream bbcs radio one. Well the shows that are available from the previous week that is.

Beebplayer worked like a charm for streaming radio and putting the phone to sleep. Not used it since installing FroYo but have the .apk on my PC. I might try it tomorrow and see if it works.
beebplayer radio streaming works in froyo (frf91). Works in background while you do other things, etc. It's discontinued now but I have the .apk if anyone wants it. Just pm me your email.
It's better than the official bbc option (which means you can't turn off your screen, reply to a message/email without it closing).
Skyfire allows me to keep any stream going on play in the background even after I go to home screen!!!! Thanks for the help though.

If you updated to Facebook 1.3.0, have you noticed it keeping your phone awake? I updated and Spareparts is showing its wake lock time higher than Android System over time. I'm using Darchdroid 2.7 with uv kernel.

I also had 100% awake times with it last night, needless to say, uninstalled until fixed. What a disappointment...
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I updated to 1.3.0 and I do not have this issue. For what it's worth, I disabled all syncing and notifications in the app settings
Edit: I realized I haven't opened Facebook since the last time I rebooted. I recently opened it and closed it. Indeed, the partial wake bar is rising slowly but surely...
Having the same issue here on a HTC Desire, had to uninstall the update.
Partner doesn't seem to be having the same issue on her Legend though, which is strange (though, the facebook for HTC sense program is keeping her phone awake, , I don't understand how so many developers are falling into this hole - It's starting to become a serious problem with Android)
Same issue here on the desire. I uninstalled the update, back on 1.2
Fresh made A post about this on his page. I have 1.2 if anyone needs it.

facebook has confirmed and is working on a fix: http://www.androidcentral.com/facebook-confirms-battery-drain-latest-android-update
Just uninstall the update through the manage applications menu, once you click on Facebook you hit manage space and then uninstall updates.
I've been messing with my Captivate a lot for the past few weeks, rooted and flashed once I got sick of waiting for an update. I've tried most of the major roms out there and am having a great time learning about it all.
I have a problem and would appreciate some advice on the simplest way to solve it. Whenever I try to enter the image gallery, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it vibrates a few times and kicks back to the home screen and gives me a failure notification. It does this regardless of what rom I'm running so I'm assuming it has something to do with the file structure on the card? If I data reset, will this fix it?
I looked around but didn't see an apparent answer for this specific issue. Thanks
Try this, download sgs tools from market. Goto uodate stock apps select gallery

Hmmm, I downloaded it and it doesn't seem to do that much. I don't see any options like that for sure. What is that program supposed to do?
After I posted I realized the app I referenced is not on the market.
Have you tried deleting app data
settings, applications, manage, all, gallery, delete data

This is the app I was talking about
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
wow, thanks! That did it. I just upgraded the stock app and it's fine now. This app looks really useful, what are some of its other uses?
Secret codes gets you into a bunch of useful things
like lbs test mode for gps
the updated gallery you installed is also supposed to help battery somehow.
I do not use it all too much though, but I keep it around

ive read of people not being able to update or download google maps. my problem with it is almost every time i download an app from the market google maps downloads instead. or it tires to update. and the app i intended to download does nothing as if i never clicked on it to download in the first place and clicked google maps instead. its like maps just takes over and decides that its going to do what it wants. wtf is the deal?
are you on stock JF6 or what?
oh sorry. i guess some info wouldve helped. im running serendipity 6.4

hmmm.. i used to run that ROM and i had that problem on the first boot. after that however it went away after i just went to into the market and cancelled the download. As far as the apps not downloading after you press them, i feel like thats a market app issue.. have you tried reflashing to an earlier version of serendipity?
Im on 6.4 and have had no issues with the market or google maps. I have always flashed a freash nand if things start getting funky.

Ive been using serendipity since out was released. I noticed this happening a few versions back. Maybe since around 6.0. this my second flash of 6.4 cuz I had a brief stint with another rom and had the same issue there.

The map problem is related to GB ROMs.
The last update on the market for google map will make it take control and restart on its own.
Even if you close it in your running services, it will actually prompt restart before closing = never closes and drains your battery.

For me it says free when I go to myapps in market. Once installed it is fine.
For me, in my apps it says installed.and that's it.it will still hijack my other app downloads and download itself again..

Buh-bye maps, you will not be missed.
Hello free ram and much better battery life.
Autostars app should take care of the problem of Maps restarting at will.
Google Maps
FYI: Turning off "Use Wireless Networks" in the Location and Security setting appears to keep MAPS from loading in the background, thereby saving some battery. Keeps you from completely deleting the app.
My two cents.
Since yesterday I've been experiencing issues with location features on non-Google apps. Specifically:
Waze boots then FCs.
Facebook can't find my location when I try to check in, but CAN find my location if I tap the location icon when writing a status update.
Google apps are unaffected. Navigation works fine and check ins via the G+ app also work properly.
The only things I've done since the last time I used Waze or Facebook was to install Rootkeeper and attempt to install the latest OTA. The OTA installation failed at the bootloader so I don't think any system changes were made.
Regardless, I've since uninstalled Rootkeeper and flashed the odexed, updated stock ROM that viperboy posted but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am also experiencing issues with my location update. This started after the update was installed on my device. My phone reads "current location" but never updates. I have rebooted many times but no fix.

I am encountering the same issue. I justed restored my One to a unrooted stock state last night. This morning ran into the same issue of Waze closing when trying to launch it. Also noticed that the location displayed on the phone now says ""My Location", Yelp and Foursquare will not display useful info unless I get a GPS signal. Foursquare shows me results all over the globe (Tel Aviv, Sai Paulo) and when the map appears in Yelp it is off the coast of West Africa....

Lol. Wow. I wonder if anyone else has this issue. If so, HTC needs to push a fix soon.

Well looks like a factory restore has resolved my issues. Thank goodness for Helium.
Factory reset worked for me as well. Thanks, Helium!!
I hate to do a factory reset when I just setup my phone. I'm not rooted yet so I can't make a backup.

I cannot post links yet but it looks like Google is aware of it. Seems to be limited to HTC devices so far. Looks to be related to the recent Google play services update. Makes me wonder what HTC did that could cause this....
