Tilt backlight dimming???

After much searching I am lost...here's the deal...
I am running on Dutty's newest ROM and everything is working great except for one stupid little thing...
After I go into the backlight settings and set the timeout to 10 secs, It will return to 20 sec or 5 minutes at any given random interval. I check the setting menu say 2 hours later, and it says 30 sec or 5 min. Any ideas??? it's driving me nutso and killing my battery quicker.

Sounds like a poltergeist issue. Can you flash a Shaman?

Well....hmmm, that's not a viable solution unfortunately, leave it to me to find a bug that nobody else has...does anybody have any ideas...i've manually edited the registry and it still seems to change on its own...is there a 3rd party program that i might try to control it?

sorry boss im running the same rom and just performed a few tests for you but my device is acting normal.
This may not mean much but did you do a hard reset after the flash?

yeah i hard reset and it didn't go away and then I flashed duttys newest rom I believe the apr16 one, and it still does...i'm wondering if it's software related, maybe tomtom or something...i'm about ready to try with a clean rom install and no 3rd party software and add one program a day until I see if one is doing it...i'm lost at this point!!!

7 days with CyanogenMod 7

This is work in progress and I will update it for 7 days. Original posting can be found here
I'm sure you have heard someone telling you would spend way too much time with your smart phone. As if one could spend time with or without a tool. My phone, besides some rare occasions, is always with or near me. Yet it doesn't mean I spend time with it! I spend time with people, and I might spend my time spending time with using my smart phone to write an email. An if I spend time adjusting it to my needs or the latest desire aroused reading some blogs, so what? I do this for the sake of communication!
How come nobody understands that find difference in concept?
Day 1
25/05/2011, 11 a.m.:
Been checking my emails on the go twice, surfing on xda forum, chatting with the HTC support, writing an email to a friend, again checking my mails but also the market updates - what a pain to see there are no updates available for my installed apps. I check if it is not Sunday. No it’s not Sunday!
I discover how handy Evernotes can be. Copied an address out of the chat conversation and send it straight off to Evernotes. Must admit it was a little fight until I had marked the exact text line I wanted to have copied as it did not recognize it on its own. It would have blown me away had it read my thoughts.
I’m really thinking about one of those tables all the time. I’m kind of pissed somehow about the unfortunate fact there is no real handwriting recognition function on phones or tablets yet that really works - would be mind-blowing! I read the HTC Flyer does make advanced use of the stylus pen for note-taking somehow. I’ve seen some handwritten notes and compared them to the scribbling I am producing this very moment on real paper and there doesn’t seem to be that much of a difference.
However, I will have to type that later and I question this concept of me thoroughly doing it without giving up after a couple of minutes.
I’ve had way too many thoughts die due to the lack of an adequate and effective tool to digitalize my thoughts. I’m way much more impressed by my analogue brain-eye-arm-paper-to-key motion sequence I’ve happily produced as I realize I have really typed and added almost everything I wanted to say.
25/05/2011, 5.51 p.m.:
I wonder if I should give cyanogen latest night builds #87 a try again and get rid of my perfectly working Android Revolution ROM setup. I’m downloading, charging and backing up my phone for every eventuality...
Day 2
26/05/2011, 5.33 a.m.:
I have CyanogenMod Nightly Build #87 setup & running. Will see how it gets through the day. Fingers crossed the battery will not drain exaustingly.
26/05/2011,5.45p.m.:
In the mood for taking some screenshots and willing to do a brief review of my cyanogenmod 7 experiences...
Day 4
28/05/20011, 7.55.a.m.:
Can't hardly believe I haven't changed that much. Phone is working pretty fine, except there seems to be a problem between Fullscreen Caller ID and the call recorder that came with the modified kernel I flashed yesterday. I just won't use FSCI, instead, when I make a phone call it will try to use both the default dialer as well as the full screen dialer as the same time. The result is devastating: it will dial the number twice.
Day 6
30/05/2011, 1.53 p.m.:
Left home at 7.30 pm, battery went down to 51% by 12 a.m. and 32% by 2 p.m., whilst all I did were a few twitter & google mail updates, no phone calls, watching videos or other heavy-consuming processes.
Seems like the un-official CM7 nightly ROM I have flashed (Chezbell-cm7-20110529) is a battery killer! SetCPU is enabled, with a powersave governor profile activated when display is off, undervolted –25mA script running and I am nevertheless more than half-way out of battery within not even 7 hours – not really a full working-day yet!
Feeling unhappy and unsatisfied, after that the phone had been running so smoothly during the weekends ( some heavy 3G and EDGE-surfing in bad reception areas, gps navigation etc etc without a problem and far less battery drain). Phone was way more responsive with CM7 #87. Will switch to LORDmodUE 2.1 kernel tonight and see if it helps.
Day 7
31/05/2011, 3.13 p.m.:
I did it! I ruined it all! My sd card is totally erased! Holy frigging s’#!§t! What happened I still can’t recall exactly but I guess in any case I should learn to be more careful and most important: read and think before I act! I flashed a kernel while surfing the xda on my way home and now I don’t even find that stupid thread.
I guess it is a good point to stop my documentation now and draw my conclusions of my 7 days with cyanogenmod nightlies now.

Admins: please delete this thread. I've posted it to HTC DesireHD thread as I think it is more suitable...

[Q] HD7 Mango & Battery

Good evening,
This is not just another "QQ my battery is bad" topic but I have searched without proper succes for my question so here goes.
Yes my battery sucks ever since I updated it to Mango.
Now people are suggesting to do all kinds of things like turning off the auto email receiving option every time one comes in and turning off Wifi etc..
Tried this without succes.
Then I see people suggesting a Hard Reset of the device, so I decided to go for that option (used the one where you press up - down + power on)
BUT my question now is, what to do after to improve your battery (like people suggested) cause you're left with 2 options.
- Restoring a previous backup from Zune
- Updating and installing every single thing over again (and with that configuring as well)
If you guys have tried either of these or know which is the best option (and please not just answers like "option B looks more plausible, thats the best!") please do share!
Cause honestly, unplugging for school at 7AM and dead battery at 6PM, and having opened apps for like an hour max (+ 1h music/zune) is just silly (dont even have Wifi / auto email sync / apps in background (except HTC hub) on)
Thanks in advance!

well i had the same problem too, i full charged my phone and when i removed it to look at the estimated time remaining it was 4 hours ..
so what i did was :
- go to settings --> background tasks --> advanced
check if one of the running application you recently installed .. i started uninstalling one by one .. every time i uninstall one of them i turn screen of wait 10 sec and open it again and look at the estimated time i found 1-2 hours increase .. keep doing it till you find which application consumes a lot of battery ( i think its due to bad code or something )
i hope it helps

Well it helps a bit gonna have to try that out unless someone comes up with a better solution for the time being.
So basically what you're saying is that its better to reset and let it update / install apps again and see if that helps (seeing I had 2 options after my reset rly; took the restore for the moment)
Although what I didnt really get is why to open background tasks, cause there is nothing but HTC HUB on in there, the rest is either off or just not in there as it doesnt support those tasks I assume.
Anyway thanks for that, hope more people have advice like that!

my question now is, what to do after resetting (like people suggested) cause you're left with 2 options.
- Restoring a previous backup from Zune
- Updating and installing every single thing over again (and with that configuring as well)
(anyone?)

How do you use your Gear and what did you miss? Devs Tizen or Android?

Hi guys,
i'm just interested in how do you guys use your gear and which features you guys miss. i would suggest that all of you put it in a Format like i'll Show you. So it's easier for devs and maybe Samsung to overview this thread statistically. Maybe some of them will get inspired. who knows....
(sorry for the formatting of the text. but i have to use Internet Explorer and it automatically fixes it in a bad way. but i do not really care...sorry about that. )
Reason why i bought my Galaxy Gear
I thought my note 3 is too big for pulling it out that often just to know which time it is. Plus the uneccessary times when nothing important beeped like a new thread or a uploaded YouTube video. I thought it would be handy to have again a good looking watch for using my phone less.
Cause we all know how often we pull it out to check the time and begin to senseless checking here, replying there...For me this worked. Plus i thought it would be pure awesomeness to control music with this.
How do your needs changed or which features you began to miss when you had it quite a time?
-Seeing and changing wifi state, mobile data and maybe more but that 2 are most important to me.
-Broswing through the Music library of the currently used musicplayer. Missing this one was the most dissapointing thing to me.
-I had moments where it would have been very good when i could have used the camera a a silent security camera without time limitations and keeping the Screen black. So the thief won't recognize that he got on tape. This would be good to for uneccessary Police violence too.
- i would like to read all incoming Messages with a Speed Reader app like spritz.
-General Spritz like speedreading Integration
-Better capability of short replys from the gear to Facebook Messenger and apps like that.
-Ofcourse Google Now Integration instead of useless S-Voice...
- Clockfonts! MOAR JUST MOAAARRR or direct font using Integration...oooor zooper on tizen....xD
Android or Tizen?
After using Tizen a few days i say i am surpised about Tizen. Ofcourse there are no apps not even a calculator. But the System is more responsive and the Batterylife actually is much better for my usage. On Saturday at 17:30 o'clock it was charged to 100% now it's at 15...Before it lasts a day. Batterylife is more than tripled for me. Plus the voice recognition for taking photos is there. I missed that.
I am hoping that it will be possible to convert android apps for tizen and that it will last not that long till this day Comes. Cause the batterylife and the better response of the system are good arguments to me for having Tizen on a featurewatch like this. Yes you read right. For me this is a Feature watch. It isn't smart at all imo.
But as soon as i am familiar with Tasker i am instantly back on Android at this state to workout the missing stuff... Android APK compatibility is a huge Thing for pushing Tizens usability an acceptance Forward imo.
I am a Developer an my thoughts About "Android or Tizen" are:
Especially your guys opinion is interesting to me.
I am a Developer and got inspired to (currently) work(ing) on
Do not Forget to mention if it is for Tizen or Android if it isn't already obvious.
Would you buy it again or do you regret?
I would buy it again. Cause in first place it was what i expected. I do not really Need 2 Smartphones i only want to do not pull out my phone so often a day. But not browsing through Music is a pain in the ass to me...i paid 200 Bucks. i think this was a ok Price. Look around what normal watches can you can pay much much for for just seeing the time. If the battery wasnt that small it is totally OK to me.
Now it's your turn ladies guys and devs.
If you do not want to answer all of that just take the ones you want and make it fat.
sorry for my english
cheers

i purchased mine after the gear two came out, specifically because i prefer android, and i was excited to try out the null rom - i installed null rom within hours of getting it in the mail. i initially had CARBONROM (aosp based) running on my s3, and i had to jump through some hoops to get it to work at all, even with a custom rom on it, and it spurred me to switch back to touchwiz (i also got a note 8.0 around the same time).
initially i just played with it all day, like killing it immediately (there's a good amount of novelty to having a fully functional computer on your wrist), then i started just using it as it was meant to be used, to check notifications and what not. ive just managed to get offline voice recognition working, as well as the google now launcher, and autovoice with google search api - i've only just gotten into tasker because, although i didn't find it too useful for just a phone, for the phone/gear combo i think a lot of cool stuff is possible.
so yeah, in a nutshell, android all day. with regular use, my battery lasts plenty long - i don't understand why anyone has a problem with one day, i have to plug all my other stuff in at night anyways, and i have outlets, chargers and cables to spare, so... i just plug it in at night. a day is fine.

I "think" i have an accudrain. Would like suggestions.

Hi guys, since on or two week im using my Galaxy S again as my smartphone. I planned this before, so I searched before for the "best" ROM for me. Just to have a fast, longlasting phone for next weeks.
I tried many this, my jig was on heavy duty - and finally i picked the mackay ICS ROM. It comes with an mackay kernel and i didnt changed that.
Modem is XXJVT from the i9000 model.
Reacts when i touch something, doenst need a powerstation nearby. Fine. I dont use it much, may for 15 minutes whatsapp / 5 minutes calling per da and 20-30 minutes reading on lowest brigthtness.
But yesterday i notiiced this and it doesnt likes right for me.... (see attached Screenshot)
What do you think about the wifi power consuption? (Dont get me wrong, Battery lasts still more than 1 day... but just laying on the couch should be 3-5, right?)
I would like so have tipps what to do know with the lowest efford.
Flash another Kernel? Modem? Monitoring the Apps? (less than 10 installed, no gapps)[QRCODE][/QRCODE]
