Le gf's battery on DX2 doesn't last for shit. Fully charge at 10am, and down to 40% already right now.
What can do to bring battery back to life? Replace? Anyone have one they want to donate?
I have extra battery for my Bionic, but it won't interchange..

[stonehenge]

First, just make sure she doesn't have an app running that is killing it. Or if she uses bluetooth and gps all day or something, that will kill it.

My DX battery is still going strong and I bought it at launch, you shouldn't really have any probs with a DX2 battery unless it's a dud or something.

y????the batt dr works fine
Android does a damn good job of killing apps on its own. Unless you set up app killers just right, they usually end up not doing much or sometimes making battery life worse since they kill apps that automatically restart themselves. So instead of an app just running lightly in the background, it is constantly closing/starting and using more battery.

[shootermcgavin003]

batt dr only kills it if you kill the app yourself its not anything automated. and andriod always have bullshit running in the background.

[stonehenge]

oh ok then

:notbad:

android lets things run but only if they need to run or aren't wasting memory or whatever. as soon as memory is needed to maintain sexiness, it kills them or puts them to sleep

[shootermcgavin003]

its supposed but some apps run on mine and dont kill out its no biggie though.

Gewgle released 4.0.4 today. Roman said he's going to stay up late for "us fuckers" :rofl2: so I'm guessing he is going to update AOKP to 4.0.4. Not sure what (if any) differences will be noticeable but I'm always down for moar new.

Do it. The Fascinate will be your easy way to find out what you want to do with your upgrade. If you play with it and like it, use your upgrade to get a GNex. If you like it but want a keyboard, get a D3 or a Stratosphere. If you hate it and want your fgt BB back, then get a new BB. :jester:

Ok another question. My phone is a 3G phone and this Droid is supposedly a 3G phone as well. Should be as simple as swapping Sim Cards correct?

[chevyrado14]

no sim card for 3g vzw phones. just a phone call to vzw to switch esn's

[Keeler]

My phone is 3G and has a sim card. This Droid is 3G and the person said it has a sim card. Both are Verizon

[stonehenge]

Are you mixing up sim cards and SD cards?

[chevyrado14]

sounds like it lol

[Keeler]

No, I know what bof is. Soon as my BB is done doing a back up I'll post a pic wif my lappy webcam.

[stonehenge]

Well your BB could have a sim card slot because it's probably a global BB, so the sim is only used if you go out of le US. As for a droid having one... the only droids that are global (that I know about) are the Droid Pro and Droid 2 Global. Both Motorolas.

[Keeler]

So those are the only global Droids? Fuck.

[stonehenge]

I texted you about cat.jpg.

As for what version of android is under MIUI, it will never be on top of blur (.605). The only piece of .605 on your phone after you flash MIUI is the kernel. Old MIUI was based on CM7. I'm not sure if new MIUI (v4) is on CM9 or vanilla AOSP.

(tapatalk)

[race2c]

It says v4 is based on CM9, so just loaded that on to DX. gonna try a fresh download of v4 and try that.

EDIT: I installed CM9. At the same time, I had a fresh download of v4. The file was then placed on SD card and went through the process over again. This time it fully booted up, and the present time TiBackup is installing backup files.

I ran MIUI v4 for awhile, but couldn't figure out how to restore apps from previous backups via TiBackup....oh well back to my stable and decent MIUI.

Anyone have any ideas of how to transfer applications or get them restored on MIUI v4? I am thinking the problem lies in the difference between applications of gB versus those designed for ICS. :shrug:

Did you backup all the apps using TiBa before wiping? Or are you thinking that TiBa will restore from a nandroid?

[race2c]

I have both backups saved. One via nandroid and one via TiBackup.

[stonehenge]

well if you have unpaid TiBa then you should be able to go down the list of apps inside the app (ones that aren't currently installed but ARE in your backup are at the bottom of the list) then you have to tap them one at a time and choose Restore and then App + Data. Takes a while. The paid version lets you do it in a batch operation.

[race2c]

I did it via TiBackup (the paid version - found le key on :sneaky:). Still no worky.

[stonehenge]

does it give you an error or something? Try using the newest free version. It could be that your version is old. Also, I've never had good luck with keys on TiBa, they almost always fail in some way :jester:

So try the free one and do the apps one-by-one and see if that works.

[race2c]

I downloaded a new version of TiBackup (and patcher on :sneaky:), reflashed MIUI v4, and then redid a batch restore via TiBackup. We will see what happens.

As of now, its rebooting after the restoration process....potentially bootlooping at the MIUI start-up screen.

[stonehenge]

you are only restoring user apps right? If you are restoring system data then that explains your bootloops...

[race2c]

yeah, its supposed to be only doing user apps. i will make sure just in case.

how do i go about saving MMS/SMS/Phone Call history/theme layout, etc in TiBackup?

EDIT: people need to stop calling me while i try to get my phone up to par. damn it.

[stonehenge]

not sure if TiBa will do all of that. What do you mean by theme layout? MIUI theme or your homescreen icons and widgets?

[race2c]

homescreen icons and widgets.

[stonehenge]

you do that by backing up ADW/LP/GL/Apex/Nova/etc, whichever home you are using.

[race2c]

and we are now up and running with MIUI 2.3.23 v4. pretty much the same homescreen setup, widgets, etc as before.

My thing is the phone screen wasn't on for that long of a period, or at least to me it didnt seem like that much.

Just ordered my insurance replacement GNex. I need a case, and probably a screen protector even though they suck ass. I've noticed my screen is pretty scratched up from my pocket, even though I only keep my phone in one pocket by itself.

Lead me to what I should get. I'd like something like an Otterbox but it makes the phone so damn big. Plus I kill belt holsters. I always hang them on chair arms cause I'm a fat ass.

[stonehenge]

fat + belt clip = bad combo :imo


If you don't need anything too thick, TPU cases are great. Thicker than silicone, don't scratch phone like hard cases, not bulky, not sticky, etc. Plus they are cheap, you can get them for under $10 in most cases.

Or if you want a beast case, you'll have to accept the bulkiness of them and get an Otterbox or Ballistic or something.

I've had otterboxes, hard cases, silicone, sleeves, holsters, and TPU on previous phones and now the only cases I buy are TPU :shrug: they aren't as protective as an otterbox but my DX looks new after two years in one with several drops.

I has a question fellaz, I am thinking of getting an android table that can used as phone and be able to be used to draw / sketch shits on the fly. I am not sure if they make tablets with pressure sensitive screens. What u guys think my options are? Thnx guizes

Like an android tablet combined w/ a wacom and a phone?

Most tablets don't make calls, even if you have a VZW plan for them. You can use phone apps that call thru data like Skype and shit but it's not the same as a true phone.

Also don't think there are any pressure sensitive screens. BUT I did just find this:

6YRtp2AYBG4

It is a pressure sensitive PEN. Apparently Android works with those pens in Honeycomb and ICS. Pretty cool. They're using the SketchBook app.

So if you get a newer tablet and one of those pens and that app, you should have everything you want except for the phone.

EDIT: Been trying to figure this out and it looks like the pressure sensitive pens only work on certain tablets that have some wacom shit built into the screen. :hmm:

Being the spokesman for them I knew you were gonna say TPU. :rofl2:

Which one fits the best so far? I think I remember you guys saying Ditztronic or something like that.

[stonehenge]

:cheeky:

I have a Diztronic and a CruzerLite A2.

The Diz is a little thinner and has a nice matte finish except for the front lip that is glossy. Feels pretty bamf, I use it most of the time. Unless you want sparkly, I think your color choices are black (matte or glossy) and smoke.

http://www.androidbeats.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Diztronic-Matte-Back-Black-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-case-front-view.jpg

The CruzerLite is transparent glossy TPU with flat TPU grips on the side and a flat Android robot on the back. They come in lots of colors.

http://www.smartkeitai.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/cruzer-lite-androidified-a2-cases.jpg

Both are bamf. If I could only keep one, I'd probably go with the Diz just because it looks more "classy" :jester: and the matte finish just feels good. But I like the grip on the side of the A2 and the fact that it feels a little bit thicker (safer).

MikeH picked up a cheap ass white case on ebay too. I think his jeans rubbed off on the white but as far as fit and quality go, I think it was fine. He'll have to answer that though.

I finally got the clock centered so I've been running it all day. Pretty nice.

Dat xhdpi?

Ok what build is it and can haz your center clock mod?

Might have to flash it tonight.

(tapatalk)

[MikeH]

Latest MIUI.us, center clock has some bugs. The status bar likes to disappear on boot but taking a screenshot or any notifications brings it back.

[stonehenge]

The status bar thing is a MIUI bug or the clock?

(tapatalk)

[MikeH]

bug from centering the clock. it doesnt do it when I add a background to the ticker but if I dont then the previews overlap the clock and looks like crap.

[stonehenge]

I see. FIDIL right clock for now. The dude who was making the MIUI Controls app or whatever decided to stop?

(tapatalk)

[MikeH]

I'll put the zip in DB if you want it, its really not that annoying IMO. I dont think that dude has updated that app in forever. Other people have been updating it for GB though.

[race2c]

Welp. I did figure out that parents did not put le TPU in the mail, as it was sitting on the counter when I got home. The DInc2 TPU made me lulz as its the same design and color as my DX cover. The old man has good tastes on TPU cases.

:lol:

[stonehenge]

:pissedoff: NOW USE IT

Mike, any way to reorganize the navbar? Want menu/back switched lol

MIUI running good so far. Apex feels a little slow tho.

(tapatalk)

[MikeH]

there might be a way but I have no clue how. you'll get use to it though. they were talking about switching it around in tomorrows release I think.

[stonehenge]

Kk its all good. Liking it but AOSP definitely felt a little faster. When b30 drops might go back lol

(tapatalk)

[stonehenge]

Already went back to liquid :roflmao: just like AOSP better. Will try MIUI again later.

(tapatalk)

[MikeH]

Didnt like MIUI in stock form either but after I modded it, its grown on me again. Will probably stick with it for a while.

rofl yeah i may have liked it more with the center clock and transparent bar but it just felt slower to me. Not like it was laggy trash or anything, just a little slow. I probably just needed to get used to it.

Will definitely try it again when there are more themes. I couldn't find any themes for xhdpi, just a few lockscreens on XDA :blahclap:

Been thinking about flashing b30 but some peeps had problems with animations and the new navbar settings and whatnot. Will probably flash tomorrow or something.

(tapatalk)

[SarkOzy]

I downloaded it last night and flashed. Runs fine except I had to manually slow down the animations in dev settings since they sped them up by default in the ROM. That didn't make a whole lot of sense, but whatever. Apparently people have been saying it's slow?

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

[stonehenge]

I think what people are saying is that some of them think the new speed is too fast, so when they go into dev settings and turn it down a little, it fixes the fast one but makes other ones slow as shit because they didn't speed up ALL of the animations, only some.

[MikeH]

I wasnt a fan of how the new navbar is setup so I went back to Liquid. Was too lazy to setup MIUI again.

[stonehenge]

Lulz that's why I made a Android before MIUI. Knew I'd be too lazy to set up Liquid again.

People reporting too many bugs, will wait another build. Maybe Liquid will update soon.
