    New stupid software update is very RAM hungry and causing battery problems

    I've had my GTP 8.4 since launch. It has always had poor battery life when running stock roms. Sometimes it does better sometimes worse. Even without apps installed there is no difference. Android system is almost always listed as consuming the most battery. That is the biggest draw back on...

    Spike in Android OS on Battery Chart

    I'm having the same issue. A re-start will get rid of it for maybe a day or two but always manages to come back...

    Galaxy s5 Battery Drain

    I've searched all over and it seems there are plenty of people having battery drain issues but have yet to find the exact cause and solution. In my case, my phone worked perfectly for about 3 months, then the battery started to drain dramatically with no change as far as use or applications...

    Im taking the Challenge.

    PCs with hybrid graphics come with a two graphic card set-up. An integrated card for low power operations (like when running off battery, low 3D effects) and a dedicated card for more powerful applications. Windows manages both by keeping one off when not in use, and switching to it when...

    Im taking the Challenge.

    Any links for tutorials or set-up instructions you recommend? I tried running from USB but it is way too slow that way.

    Oh, it runs Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora I tried that. But my Laptop has a hybrid graphics card that does not play nice with the Linux Kernel. It'll overheat and start locking up after an hour or so of use.

    Yes, it worked perfect during the brief testing I did on it. I haven't touched the slider in a while. I started working on this ROM to get a feel on developing but unfortunately my Windows PC is not compatible with Linux so I was very limited to what I could do with it.

    I have a stock, de-odexed ROM for the slider that I was working on before. It has apps and cache to SD scripts built into it already. I can PM to whoever needs it.

    I've got the Virgin Mobile HTC One V. Any questions?

    I had the Evo V, with all kinds of signal issues. Any fluctuating signal on the One V? I'm planning on picking one up tomorrow.

    SoCal Radio Interface issues

    My original Evo V developed an issue with the power button so I went to Radio Shack and exchanged it for a new one. I activated this one myself, no problems at all and sure enough about a couple hours after the radio interference error started happening again. I finally got a VM tech to tell...

    SoCal Radio Interface issues

    Exactly, and I also wonder how come some of us are experiencing issues and others aren't? You would think their tech support would let us at least know it's a known problem and that they are working it out...

    SoCal Radio Interface issues

    It happens randomly, ragardless if I have full bars or less. Thanks for your advice, I've been weighing my options about exchanging. Other than this error, my phone works perfect and I've read about horror stories where people are having their phones reboot randomly and their batteries not...

    SoCal Radio Interface issues

    Is your phone still free and clear of the radio interference errors? Mine is not, contacting VM hasn't helped. I'm thinking of exchanging it and see if I just have a defective one. BTW, do you have a Sprint branded unit?

    SoCal Radio Interface issues

    They told me that they had done everything they could and were submitting an investigation ticket to their Network Engineering team. The error comes and goes, I wish they would just say if it is a network error or not. That way we could just exchange the defective phones and be good.
