advice for getting my awake time down (its at 100%)

I just recently noticed that my phone has a 100% awake time and I cannot find a reason why. The partial wake lock function in spare parts says nothing is keeping it awake for a long period of time... Any advice on how to fix this? Any help is much apreciated. Im running fresh 1.1 with gumbo kernal less agressive

USB charging does not allow the phone to sleep.

I rebooted my phone right after i took it off the charger this morning and monitered it throughout the day and it still was 100%...

Kind of a silly question, but have your recently installed any new apps? I know that my Facebook for Android keeps my phone awake quite a bit. In fact, I think I'm about to uninstall it if it still keeps it awake after I remove the widget. Anyone else have that problem with Facebook? Not to hijack.
Did you look in Spare Parts for the total times on Partial Usage?

it says it keeps it awake for a little but not that much I'll try removing that widget and see if it helps

It's not the widget. SOME Fresh ROM users see the same thing when they first flash the new kernel. A reboot fixed it for most.

if all else fails, backup your apps/sms and RUU/root/reinstall rom/restore

try removing the htclocationservice apk. my friend had this problem and thats how we fixed it.
rm HtcLocationService.apk in /system/app
you dont need it btw, android has its own.

No, its not the same as htclocationpicker.
get into your phone cd system/apps
do "ls"
and look for HtcLocationService.apk

sorry im kind of new at this, what do you mean by phone cd?

You need to remove it via ADB. There are stickies about removing programs. Check them out. Just make sure it's the right file.

thanks for your help much apreciated hopefully this works

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

after doing a factory reset of my phone the awake time went down on my phone, this means it has to be an app or widget correct?

It could have been an app or widget, but it could have been a number of things other then that. Start adding your apps back 1 by 1 and see if they affect your wake time. I like i said earlier, we were able to fix it by the location service alone.

Why is Twitter slow on update?

Hi!
Is it just me or why is my Twitter not upated as soon as a new twitt is written.
I have made a small test and when i write something on my PC's twitter it takes a while before i can see it on my HD2. How come?

Get the TouchTwit app. It's like $2, and I've found it to be way more useful and prompt than the included Peep program. Not perfect, but better.

I've the same problem, in the settings I've set the update to every 15 minutes, but I have always update it manually. When I wake up in the morning I always see that the last update was around midnight and that update was done by myself.

Then we have a new problem/bug for them to fix....
My guess is that we're never going to see any fix for our problems now when there's new models out on the market that needs fixing as well But i read a thread about the U.S model have had a new ROM that fixed every problem the old one had... I'm glad for them and are hoping that the rest of the world can expect the same treatment.

Not any fix atm?

have no idea, think its something wrong with the program.... hope they update it someday

Hero Ring Lag

Does it exist on the evo? Haven't purchased mine yet, so I was just curious if htc has fixed that problem in their latest device.

Wasn't a problem, but I adjusted my polling from the default setting of 2 to 1 anyway... There is absolutely no lag on my phone.

I remember that problem from my hero and the evo has virtually none at all.

You will need your msl to change that and remember this uses more battery. Basically you're changing the rate ay which the Evo sends the tower a signal to check for texts and calls

In dialer type ##data# , choose edit, enter your msl, go to advanced, tap slot cycle index. The default setting is 2, each increment add 1.3 seconds per poll. I actually just moved mine back to 2, still no lag.

Changing the slot cycle isn't going to solve the ring lag problem. The problem is with the phone and/or software on the phone. You can prove it yourself by enabling debugging on the phone, place a call to the phone and then run the command "adb bugreport > outfile.txt" (yes you need adb installed) next open the file you created called outfile.txt and search for the phone number that you called from, note the time stamp it first appears in. Next search down the logfile for where the screen is actually turned on, it should say something like "screenstate=true" note the time stamp. you'll find that the phone knows about the call for roughly 11 seconds prior to it starting to ring.

[Q] How do I stop google maps running

I keep my GPS turned of when I'm not using it, and Google Maps is never running in the background.

Do you use Google Latitude or have any maps/latitude widgets on screen? those will cause this activity.

When I cooked my ROM, I took everything out that ran in the background that I never used;
Clearfi, Media Server, etc. but never touched anything related to GPS, or maps, so I have no idea why it wouldn't be running on mine, and running on yours. Which version of HC are you running?

Use system tuner pro and freeze any app.it won't run again until you boil it.

I think that the maps service will run if you have 'shared your location' with the browser or other apps that use maps for location specific information. This can be switched on in Settings -> location and security.

No, but you can make sure everything related to location in your settings is turned off as stated by someone else?

Check under Settings and disable anything related to location, besides GPS (really not needed to disable, it only runs when an application that use GPS is running) .
See my screen capture.

My bet is your problem lies in your ROM/Kernel mix, but just a guess then.

Possibly, was wondering if anyone else encountered the same problem before i start messing around with changing kernels or roms. Plenty of people using this combination and haven't seen any posts with same problem as me. Thanks for the help anyway. Maybe I'll try a different kernel

Quick question Moe. Why do you use a custom kernel? Do you overclock?
Just asking, because when I first got my tab I must have flashed every ROM and kernel that was out at the time, and found none with less problems, and more stable than the stock 3.2 kernel.
Nothing more than curiosity.

To be honest I'm just trying stuff out to see what all the fuss is about. Both seem to be highly recommended so when i decided to go custom I just went with those two.

OK Google voice command only goes to lockscreen

So I've been playing around all day to get this to work but cannot. Every time I use the OK Google voice command with the screen off it only goes to the lockscreen and I have to enter a pattern.
I've read through a few posts but nothing I've tried is working.
Can anyone offer some assistance??

On mine, like the other guy said, press the envelope icon top right. At the top it says explore, beside that your stuff, and to the right of that, 3 dots. Click on the 3 dots, then settings, and then click phone, then access and unlock. Mine was doing same thing. Glad that I saw this thread.
