Wimax

If I NEVER use 4G, can I freeze all of the WiMax stuff without causing any problems? I am trying to find ways to stop so much usage by Android system. Usually showing about 80-90 percent.

That is accurate. Like Windows all apps running on your phone go through Android system. It is the OS. In Froyo it was incorrectly pushed to the display percentage. If you have light usage and after about 12 hours your percentage should be between 60 to 70 percent. Freezing WiMax won't do anything since they only run if you turn on 4G.

Thanks Kenny,
Most times I am in the 80's, so when I saw things like WiMax line test, and mode change and Net test, i was wondering if those were things running, even though I never even bother with 4G. but i guess it makes sense that if I am not turning 4G on, ther services most likely are not causing any issues...i guess i will keep digging!

What is showing up for the most time in Betterbatterystats?

If you want, you can run CM7. It doesnt have any 4G stuff in it, and I hear typical android system usage is in the 20%'s.

That's the thing. Everything is negligible. Under 1%. But my awake time is almost 50%. When screen on time is about 17%.

With CPU Spy how much deep sleep does your phone get? Reboot, put it down for 30 minutes. Open it and check CPUSpy. You should have most of that as deep sleep. Of course this is off charger. Charging keeps phone awake at 100 Mhz.

911 is fixed, before a new build is posted Decad3nce needs to be home(school/work) as this is a serious matter, so it'd be best for him to handle it because his name is on it, as you can understand. mkasick found out what the issue was and fixed it, the Fascinate has it as well, the fix is for CDMA phones....the Vibrant might actually be f*cked... UberPinguin, mkasick, and noobnl did it yesterday though but called 911 today through proper means and verified that it works. And pushed the fix upstream to official CM so that it can be included in.

So out of 12 hrs I got 7.5 of deep sleep. I show 4.5 of awake time and 1:21 of screen on time. The 3 hour difference seems high.

New screen problems

So I just got my phone a few days ago and while browsing the web I noticed my screen sometimes loses color? Like it goes black and while lines like a static from a tv. Not that bad but it is getting worse. Should I return the phone or what? Is this the same problem with lines and blobs everybody else is having?

Your the first person I have heard have this issue. Best thing to due is return it back to stock if you have modded it and get it replaced. Something is wrong with your phone and should definitely be replaced.

are you sure maybe it's not the AutoBrightness acting up?

Would that cause it? I usually have my brightness on high though, which it was at the time.

this is definitely a new and unique, almist certainly, hardware fault. Reset factory settings and return.

Sounds like he's mistakenly referring to the known "checkerboarding" issue in the stock browser as black & whites lines from a TV...
Just my two cents..

No, that would not cause it. The symptom of that issue is fluctuating brightness not color dropping out. The problem could be a bad video connector or cable in the phone, or a bad display panel. Take it back while you can.

camera flash activating when shutting down

Hello,
Today when I restarted my phone, it got stuck on the "Goodbye" screen for longer than normal, then flashed the camera 3 times before shutting off. What is going on? Anyone have a similar issue? I am on stock, rooted.
Thanks

Is it really worth it to replace my phone for this? It has only happened once over 5 months. How much did it happen to you? Does it signal something wrong with the phone if it has just happened once?
If it doesn't mean that something is wrong with my phone, I wouldn't really want to go through the hassle of a return :\

Anyone can replicate this. While your phone is on, hold power/Vol up/Vol down all at the same time for about 10 seconds. That forces a reboot and your camera will flash until you let go.

Why Does Battery Drain After Disabling Apps? WEIRD !!

i had disabled some apps on the phone.. but afterwards i noticed that the phone drained battery faster.. this doesnt make sense. why it this happening?

Unless you can provide some kind of evidence to support your theory, I have to assume it is your imagination.

i can assure you that its not. i know it sounds weird, but i noticed that before disabling apps that i'd get 30 hours of battery life.. but after disabling apps, i'd get 17 hours

Maybe cause you were disabling apps and using the phone more then you were prior to that... just give it some time to see what effects will be taken. No need to make multiple threads should've just kept talking in your previous thread.

They should have a known good one you can try. Plug it in and see if the reboots quit. No idea if they'd let you borrow it for a day, but I don't see why not.
If it dropped that quick though, I'm pretty confident that it's related.

it could also be that you need to clear the battery stats, my brother in law has had that issue many times after flashing CM on several different devices, but it could still be a jacked battery, am a licensed electrician and i can tell you while it does happen often for me because we buy so many products (obviously) that we get bad items directly from the manufacturer.

How can I clear the battery stats? I used to do this all the time under advance in clockwork recovery but I don't see it there on this phone. Thanks!

One more thing it was doing was when I'd turn the screen off it would always come back on. It would do that two or the times before it would stay off then half the time the phone crashed. It's not doing that now either and I had that trouble on several different roms.
