Hi all, I just got my first Android phone (which is obviously the Nexus One) and I've gone through and set up some widgets, got apps, etc. I have a few questions.
Does running multiple widgets kill the battery faster?
(I guess that was really it).
Also, are there any really good getting started with Android guides out there? Maybe some mods you guys recommend (Cyanogen, etc) that really make this thing shine?
Thanks,
T.J.
I will second this topic, also a new user here. How to make that battery last?

Follow those tutorials, Do #3, then #2, then #1. Enjoy!
depending on the Widgets used. The ones that always update can use a lot of the battery. Tbh though it all depends on what you do with your phone. In addition, searching the forums for what you want to do is the best way of figuring out how you want to pimp out your phone. Gl

That's great, but too late, I am already rooted on Froyo.
I don't have Froyo yet, I'm on an AT&T N1. I do have a question about trying these different ROMs: what are the chances I'm going to permanently brick my phone? I'd hate to just pay $530 for this thing and then somehow cause it to stop working.

Juice Defender is a great app that is available on the Android Marketplace and is guaranteed to at least double your battery life. If you choose to purchase the full version, you get some advanced features which can lead to even more battery power.

That link will take you to the guide that explains how to go from stock to cyanogen (or desire....personally I like cyanogen) with little effort, just make sure you follow the steps exactly, and read every step twice to ensure you understand it.

Oh, I can follow steps. I'm just afraid of changing the baseband/radio inadvertently or somesuch, and bricking the phone. Is there a good way to recover from something like that, if it happens?
just got my N1. is there HTC keyboard i can download and use?

The guide includes the all-important step "Create a NANDROID backup" Should you run into major problems, thanks to your custom recovery, you'll be able to do a nand restore. But as long as you stay away from flashing radios on your phone you should be fine. A lot of people will tell you they aren't worth the risk, and the reward is often marginal, and I tend to agree
This morning there is a new item in the notification pull down screen.
Updates Available
1 update found
I'm scared to even click on it, thinking it will automatically download and install the patch that kills root. I am currently running Fresh 2.1 and don't want to change a darn thing!
I had followed these instructions:
DISABLE OTA UPDATES!!!!
To disable OTA updates that will patch this exploit, (after rooting and booted after creating a nandroid backup) run the following commands from Command Prompt.
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell
Code:
mv /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.bak
After doing this, the OTA updates WILL still download, BUT they will not pass signature checks to flash because of the code you just entered.
So do I just clear the notice? Has anyone clicked this thing?
That's for your market apps, perfectly safe

Ha! Both of you where the first to give me help! Too funny.....
Ok, since I have you both here, I have a silly question.
After I re-rooted after the 2.1 RUU, one of the first ROM's I flashed was Fresh 2.1.2.....I can't for the life of me remember why I didn't like it. Flashed Damage and a few others and ended up with Fresh 2.1, which I love.
So, after reading about both Fresh's ROMs, I don't see much difference.
Did 2.1.2 just fix things? There is absolutely nothing wrong with 2.1 (at least for me), but feel like I might be missing out on something I overlooked.
Whatchu think?

I can't keep up any more LOL.
I think 2.1.2 was de-odexed and might be a little faster for you in that case.
I am on a fresh 2.1.2 with friend stream that JSChi put out yesterday.
You still have to be careful with those updates. There has been cases where an update has either basically removed itself or severely gimped features of the program and that is either because it infringes on a copyright or the author decided to go the paid route and firebombed his old free app. It has happened in the past.
There have also been cases of major bugs being introduced that don't get fixed for awhile.
Just make sure to read the comments as people will usually mention those things.
Hello
because my Touchpad, running CM9, got slower and slower I decided to clean it and put an Update on it.
I need a stable (as possible) ROM with working camera, wi-fi, sound and video acceleration. Bluetooth would be nice but not necessary.
I don't need new apps from newer versions, etc.
It's a 32 GB Version.
Which ROM would you suggest me and where to get it+gapps?
Thanks in advance!
With kind regards
Cosy
The I would suggest that you view the development thread where you will see the different roms for this device and links to gapps or whatever else you may need will be available in the Opening Post what people want or need is down to the user. There you will be able to read individual comments about what does or doesn't work and be able to make your own informed decision.
There are numerous development threads and I don't know which to read.
In addition I can't read a thread holding 250 pages of posts just to pick a ROM.
A little hint would be nice.

I would need the same, and I dont see a reason why you guys that tried all the roms could simple write down a version thats stable and functional, I dont care if its NAdroid 4.2, or 4.3. or 4.4, I just need a functional tablet that has a functional Skype, Netflix and wifi.
Is that a big problem to write, I dont have hours and hours of time to searc (which is useless) to figure out which rom. A small baby at home, work I have everyday, and really not spare time to waste on research.
I apologize in advance if someone gets ofended, but at the time when I was a kid I would spend hours messing online, now I dont have that anymore.
On topic - my biggest issue that the tablet is draining battery like crazy, and is totally glitchy, slows down, all though everything works, but slow and battery is ridiculous.

Well if you read my post which you have quoted you'll see that I did make a recommendation but if you you're after someone to wipe your bottom and put a cookie in your mouth it won't be me. It's the arrogance of people like yourself that makes me wonder why I or anybody else bothers to try and be helpful.
Have a nice weekend I know you've p***ed me of.

No check it yourself or ask someone that you haven't insulted.
And I would be obliged if you can stop quoting me. I really don't want anything to do with you especially as you are still taking the p***.

do you know if it's possible to upgrade directly from cm9 to cm10.1 (no wiping)?
I recently noticed that rear display charging animation is no longer working after updating it to MIUI Global 12.5.2 (Indian Variant) and before updating it was working perfectly fine.
In MIUI 12.5.4 (EEA) it is normal.

Hey, I never noticed this. Can someone tell what's the animation like?
It shows a sort of liquid indicating the battery left and the percentage of the battery left when you plug in the charger
Check pic
I've never noticed as my phone is normally on its back but Xiaomi say that the latest beta weekly has this updated rear display app. And, yes when checking yesterday, it is fully working now and as in the pics above

Did you check your settings? Something may have changed.
I confirmed, it's working for me. I am on the same ROM.
This is just another whiner complaining that something doesn't work while he is probably the cause of his own problems. XDA used to be site dedicated to custom roms and apps from developers, also hackers with mods and shortcuts, now it's just a bunch of whiners, complaining about virtually everything. In the old days, you would be told to go search this site,as well as the internet for these complaints that are here nowadays.

XDA has gone from a site of doer's to a site full of can't doer's and as unfortunate as it is, that's the truth. Go to the main page of this forum and tell me what most of the articles are about. Almost all of them are complaints, I need a cable, my alarm doesn't work, my battery life is bad, I'm stuck in fastboot, how do you flash rom/TWRP, I'm not getting notifications, how do you unlock bootloader, etc...These are all simple questions that are well documented and many of them are in guides, but to find that information, one needs to search.

Did he search the entire web before he started this whine. I would bet not, charging animation not working, now there's a real issue. Read the thread and you will see that others are not having that problem. Now if this user had searched the entire web, they would realize that perhaps the settings got changed somehow or that the data/cache needed to be cleared.
Hello guys!
I wanted to make a battery calibration on my Galaxy S21 5G and i made a battery test on the road.
The phone is 5 months old.
So this is the measurement from 100% battery to 3%.
The Screentime is 11 hours and 56 min. (always on wifi) & 40 min. of music streaming on 4g (9% battery).
I think the Screentime is fantastic!
I used some tweaks from here:
[DISCONTINUED] Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide
THIS IS A SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION FOR SAMSUNG DEVICES OUT OF SUPPORT/CLOSED I - RECOMMENDED SETTINGS To Start With - Factory Reset before starting optimisations - Factory Reset after every Major update (One UI/Android) - Remove SIM before first...
forum.xda-developers.com
and the Screen was constantly on 48Hz with Galaxy Max app.
The Performance was completely fine.
Now if this is with 48Hz, imagine what insane battery life can you get on a Galaxy Ultra with 10Hz.
Thanks for the tag, glad i helped
Basically you transformed your S21 into an S7 or S8, you might as well bought a nokia 3310 to deactivate all the features of a phone, or changed brands....

It doesn't make sense anyway, so changing the brand of phone your approach is weird in my eyes, having an S21 to make it as interesting as an older generation smartphone, you might as well buy older generations. You will gain 2x more battery again. A nokia 3310 would last 1 week in autonomy, that would be more suited to your needs. Sorry

Damn, you turned off all these features and crippled the phone but left a super obvious optimization untouched.
Using WiFi calling, you can enable airplane mode, effectively turning off your whole cellular radio.
While I'm at home, my phone is always on airplane mode, so it's not looking for towers, switching networks, etc. Depending on your provider and location, it can noticeably help with battery drain, mostly in standby.
Also...wtf Norton 360? It looks like it used a ton of battery and it's such a grandma move to have Norton on your cellphone. It's just weird to remove all the nice features of the phone, for which you paid, al in the pursuit of better battery life, but leave obvious things like this in... just my $0.02
