[FIX] Fix 50% Time Without Signal Bug - Captivate Android Development

I found this while searching on google. I take no credit for this, but am posting it here so that you can use it too.
Basically it enables airplane mode and disables it at boot. It doesn't add any time to boot, because it coincides with the Media Scanning.
All you do is install it and forget about it.
Anyway, heres the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938677
Ignore that it says 2.1 only... Works just fine on my ROM.

Thanks.

I actually had this installed for a couple weeks now. Phone boots and then goes into airplane mode. I did love the one time where my phone booted up, I got a phone call right and forgot about the airplane mode and it kicked me off the call!

It won't download to my phone and I'm stuck at work. Can anybody upload it here or post a drop box link for me? Thanks!
Edit: Forgot I can use Astro for the download.

Mike, what do you think of this explanation and fix? It is interesting to read there why this happens, if nothing else. I look forward to your ROM fix tonight!

I actually have 2 tasker events setup that takes care of this nearly transparently. On device shutdown tasker sets airplane mode and clears it on boot.
I just have to do it manually if I get some kind of random reboot or sleep/charge death.

It might be a problem if you turn off GSM on an at&t phone.

ok and what is your percentage ?

I only realized this was an issue sometime last week and when I checked it was 50%.
Toggle airplane mode and within 10 mins it dropped to 38% and then went down to 17% a few hours later. But since then everytime I unplug or reboot I toggle airplane mode and most days it's at 0% ~ 5%

If I catch it right away it will go down to 0 by days end. If not and I catch it later it varies.

thanks for the link! i'm just curious though, is there any reason why this signal bug hasn't been addressed at the ROM level? from my brief searching it seems like it occurs on most devices.

I think including the apk in future ROMs seems a definite possibility as this fix released very recently.

Phone Malfunctions Coming out of Sleep

Hi,
Couldn't find anything in the forum, but it could be detailed a 100 different ways...
I'm having a problem where my x10 won't come out of sleep properly - it doesn't happen all the time, but often enough for it to be super annoying...
Basically I cannot get it out of sleep - the screen will turn on, but without backlight, and without the ability to interact with the touchscreen. to get out of it, I have to pull the back off the phone, and pull out the battery.
So in short, I'd say the digitizer and the backlight frequently fail (together) coming out of sleep (everything else 'works')
Anyone else had experience with this issue?
P.S. I'm not rooted.
Happened like 2 times to me, I leave it for 1 min and press again and it works.
No big deal.
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

Normally I need the phone there and then, but worth a try waiting... I just upgraded to the latest FW, so hopefully it's the last time it happens...
Thanks!
Hmm.. tried the waiting option... left it for more than 10 min, and all it did was stay frozen and drain my battery...
Might try a full re-flash
Strange. I thought a Firmware upgrade would have sorted it. Do you have any apps installed that may be relevant, a lock app or anything? And did it do this from the moment you got your phone?

It started happening fairly soon after I got the phone... couldn't say when, but it's now happening really frequently - at least 3 times today already...
I don't have any apps I could pinpoint, although I'd guess it would have to be something I installed fairly early on.
Strange that it's getting worse though.
Hmm, it seems that this has happened to a few other people online, but mostly with HTC devices. Do your hardware buttons (at the bottom) wake it up differently at all?

Yeah, the HW buttons wake up fine (at least from what I can tell) but they're basically useless when the phone is stuck on the lockscreen
I did a full re-flash last night, so hopefully that fixes it...
It had better since all of the backup programs I had faith in failed me completely... man I'm annoyed... have to spend a bunch of hours putting everything back on my phone and setting it up again.

I've heard rumours that it has been removed in some of the newest leaked firmwares. That makes me believe the severely retarded people at Samsung finally realized that their phone making an utterly annoying sound in the middle of the night perhaps isn't a very good idea.
Go to settings -> sounds and display and turn off notifcation ringtone. This will however turn off all notification sounds. You can the go into indivual apps like Messaging-> Menu -> notification sound on. You can do the same for gmai and others

Geee, the sound is still there in Froyo JPH release. I wonder what the programmers at Samsung are thinking - I really wonder... This has to be the most obvious of all the things the SGS does all wrong.
Just make sure it's on vibrate/silent before you go to bed, then it won't annoy you.

Full Bat Popup
*#3844228#
This allows you to disable the full battery pop-up.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
Of course, you have to be able to access testmode first, which is apparently different on the Epic4g than on our vibrants. Who knows how to get into testmode so we can try the same code?

Can we use that info for disabling the "battery full" sound?
I use a little app called 'Sweet Dreams' You just set it for a time when you usually go to bed and a time for when you usually get up, then it turns the phone to silent for you. I find it very handy as I often forgot to manually put the phone into silent mode.

[HELP] DHD wakes up by itself

Hey,
I have a major problem for a couple of weeks now. My phone just keeps waking up randomly and turns the screen on by itself. I have root and s-off and tried out a few roms. Sense Roms as well as MIUI roms... It does not make a difference at all, so I guess it can't be rom related. I have read a few more posts on the web of users having a similar problem but there was no solution given anywhere.
Also, my speaker automatically turns on when I receive or make a call. These two problems seem interconnected since there is at least one person on xda having exactly the same two issues...
Does anybody have an idea or a solution for this? I would be thankful for any kind of help! Thank you in advance!!!
I've a similar problem a bunch of months ago, my phone turn on automatically, without no logic. I've resolved the problem pulling out the battery for a night, after that the problem disappeared.
I hope that will help you to resolve your problem,
Rodomar705
Thanks, I will try that out tonight and report!
Ok, I tried it out last night, but it did not work
Does anybody have a different idea?

Did you check the date and time once you'd insert battery inside DHD? I think to solve the problem that way, you should leave DHD without battery until the internal battery will be totally discharged. It takes approx. 12-14 hours, and you can be sure only if turning on DHD you'll find time and date set to 12:00am, 1st jan 1980 (or something like that).
Yeah, it definately worked though, time was resetted as well. I turned it in today, hope to be able to pick it up next week. Before, I ran the Ruu to set it back to shipping condition... It still had the same error, so it is definately not rom related...
It is a huge drag without it... Already feeling uncomfortable ^^

Sorry mate!! Just wait for a week, ist not so long time, and you'll get back your phone as new as when you bought first time!! Hope this makes you feel a little bit of joy!!
Ok, I have gotten my phone back on thursday (after one week)...
SO far so good, everything worked again, they even set the proximity sensor right again... Then I rerooted it and put another MIUI on it...
On friday then, I put Vipermod back in and undervolted it by 50 mA... BOOM, the issue came back, I couldn't remove it, so I took the battery out and waited for 12 hours, as you suggested... and it worked... Issue was gone... Then I ran vipermod again and BOOM the issue was there again... It didn't even help to set the mA values back to normal, I had to reset it again by taking out the battery for 12 hours.
So my conclusion is that this issue is directly related to the actual USE (not just the installation) of vipermod... Can anyone confirm? Don't want to put out false information in the vipermod thread without having others to confirm...

If changing the ROM didn't help then it is an app issue. One of your apps is causing it. Time to look deeper
I have exactly the same issue! Also with the speaker sometimes. Really annoying. If an app is causing it, how can we find out which one? I'm using ARHD 6.1.0, but I've had the issue with older versions of the ROM too (with the same apps installed).

i tried wake lock detector .. it showed that the device is being held awake but in the wakelocks tab there was nothing that was keeping the device awake for so long
Do you have alarms or anything of sort? (it might matter)
Disable all syncs, try to off (most) of those chat apps like wechat and line etc(go to settings>apps force stop), wechat in particular drains quite a lot.
I don't use stock but mine is close to it but I deleted lots of bloats from TB.
I only leave whatsapp on.
Infact, try out using Airplane, if even in airplane the battery still sucks, try reflashing everything using bootloader.
the thread title says that your n4 doesnt go into sleep mode.. where do you have something showing this?? battery loss does not equal not going into sleep mode. have you checked if your device goes into sleep mode, or are you just assuming? use something like cpu spy to see if your device is going into sleep mode..
Indeed, try CPU Spy. I use unrooted stock 4.3 and mine deep-sleeps just fine.

This is battery stats from the first day after OTA: http://imgur.com/Bn9B8FA
You can clearly see when device stop going to sleep, and Android OS drained battery for more than 11 hours.
When I saw this, I rebooted the phone, and next day everything was OK. Battery life was even better, than with 4.2.2. But after third day, Android OS was again on top of the list. Again, reboot had solved problem only temporary. Wake lock stats app does not show anything unusual. I'm runing stock not rooted firmware. If I do not find any solution, I'll just wipe it on weekend in hope it'll help.

SM-910F random reboot/shutdown and time reset

Hi there, here is my problem.
I flashed Havoc V2 latest rom and i experience random reboots or shutdowns, including time reset. Problem is that i am away from PC for a few days and i can't try many things since i don't use an sd card, so full wipe is not an option right now.
Also, i noticed that time and date is reseting to rom's build date and not at a random one. Any ideas what is going wrong and how can i fix it will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

That's not an option right now, but if i find a USB stick i'm gonna give it a try with a different rom.
I'm having the time reset prob when time is set to manual, in network mode seems ok, but reboots/shutdown are still happening.
I was thinking maybe its a modem issue since i never flashed one (maybe there is an updated version that i missed, phone was sitting powered off with an old rr version for a long time) or a kernel issue, but i didn't see any reports on the havoc thread.

It doesn't help you right now but I've tested several Q ROMs and I've found crDroid 6.9 the most stable one.
With Havoc and AOSP I had issues while lineage doesn't offer that many individuality.
Used RR 7 by mobspyguy myself before switching as it got any longer patches.
Gotta admit that mine is only a backup device and I don't use it longer then 5 hours.
If you used the latest firmware before switching to custom ROM there's no newer modem anyhow.
Thanks a lot for the info. I'm gonna flash another rom when i get the chance to see if the problem is rom related and see how it works.
Thanks again

as long as you can (until reboots) - download quickly an app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&hl=en
this app will stop the phone going in deep sleep
launch the app Wake Lock PowerManager - set it on partial wakeup (level 4), it's doing it's job pretty well , no big deal on battery consumption
