Solitaire Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Stop using it, wait for author to update. I used to use ADW.Launcher all the time, recent updates have made it somewhat slow. Yeah, I'm just a bit lazy to take the trouble of setting up the homescreen the same way again on Launcher Pro. Let's see. Maybe I'll get Launcher up and running properly and freeze (via Titanium Backup) ADW Ex. Btw with launcher pro, whenever I enable the 3D drawer option (atleast on Launcher Pro 0.8.3) it lets me scroll down the apps list first time I put my finger on it and stops, but the very next time I touch the screen to scroll further down or back up, it jumps back to the top of the apps list (to apps starting with A) and scrolls down again. It seems to work fine if I turn 3D drawer off in the settings though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Tigre Chino Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Alright Got adb working. Had to change the path to the Platform tools folder instead of the tools folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfrag Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Alright Got adb working. Had to change the path to the Platform tools folder instead of the tools folder. Didn't I say that! lol! market.android.com ! Oh yeah! Wish Google Music released though. Wireless Sync FTW. No Google Docs app yet. :| Honeycomb looks fantastic. But they left the show without really completing it. Looks like the conclusion will be at MWC, Barcelona, later this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Tigre Chino Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 First (failed)attempt at flashing froyo to the G3. Shat myself for the 5mins it idled and the 10mins it took to restart.

Solitaire Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) i think this belongs in jokes thread javed bhai I don't know how to say it but you can "overcharge" your battery on some phones to make it reach 100, instead of stopping at 94 or 95 while charging before it shows you charged. It does give you, I think, a few 10 or 20 mins of extra charge but to say it will double your battery life per charge would be utter rubbish It involves unplugging the charger when the phone shows fully charged, then connecting it back when it's about 95 percent to make it get to that perfect 100. Ain't s'posed to be good for your battery. Edited February 4, 2011 by Gaurav - Solitaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Bro, congratz on your buy. First of all, its a great phone. But it is not known for its battery. The battery has been an issue in this phone everywhere i read about it And secondly, dont follow all those gimmicks. Really add no value to your phone. Your battery is new, give it a week or two to condition and settle down. And use it normally. Dont let it die down. Charge when it hits 20-30% if you can. Seriously the internet is full of idiiots who propose such weiird methods. Although, you may try charging with your phone switched off. edit: Yea gaurav, its caleld bump charging. Honestly i find no difference. Maybe i get 20 mins more battery life Or maybe not. Just need to use batteries normally. And give it atleast 5-10 recharge cycles to condition itself.

Just need to use batteries normally. And give it atleast 5-10 recharge cycles to condition itself. Yeah. bump charging was the word I was looking for. It does give you those 10-20 minutes extra but frankly one should just let it settle into a regular charging cycle. My own first one or two charges with the Nexus S gave me a dismal battery time. Then it improved markedly. However, I may unintentionally be bump charging it cos I have this habit of keeping the phone on charge all the time, then I take it off and use it for a few minutes. Next I think "Wait, why not charge it for a while before I leave for college" and i leave it back on. Can't resist when I have a charger at hand.

Solitaire Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 j/k i know you know the value of things People in the bus (on days I haven't slept enough to drive) and at college look at me in strange way cos I keep wiping the phone's front clean with a microfiber cloth until it shines every few minutes. The other day my eldest uncle kinda left what I thought was a scratch on the screen and I gave him one-word replies the rest of the lunch get-together. I was still pretty angry at the way people in my family kept asking for the phone and touching it with food still on their hands sometimes and at the end of it all, they said "let's take a group photo" and I kinda made it clear I'd take it myself using my phone. Loudmouth aunt went "Oh, him, he won't hand over his gadgets to others much" and I turned and gave them a look that positively made some of them cower in fear They didn't say a word until we left.

Especially when they're people who say to me "But I can get an android phone for Rs. 10000 too, what's so special in this phone? Please tell me" How can anyone even say that when they're holding a Nexus S in their hands?!? Blasphemy.

I have created a profile which monitors the charging and when battery is full, it: 1. Calls out very loudly that battery is charged.. 2. Sends a push notification to my laptop so that even if I am in a different room working then i can know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know, but it's just that it's kind of an idiosyncrasy with me. I HAVE to leave it on charge if I am at home and yet to leave. I don't like taking it off charge I usually leave it on charge from around 11pm until when I leave the next morning, which could be anytime from 8am to 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
