zer0spunk posted:opensignal This really put the hurt on my battery. I turned off all the reporting and other settings and my battery graph was still littered with blue bars on the "awake" section. I only found it was opensignal by trial and error as it didn't show up in spare parts under partial wake usage. After removing it I actually have solid black sections on my "awake" bar.

Have any of you tried either of the thermostat applications? I have Westar and their fancy internet thermostat so I'm going to try this later: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mktgdept.thermostat I guess there's also this one for the WiFi thermostats: https://market.android.com/details?id=RadioThermostat.com

So since goons, xda and everywhere else loves LBE and have no factual negative things to say about it I am happily running it. The difference is it's easy enough to figure out what other applications are doing, but LBE gets root so it can do whatever it wants.

IT Guy posted:I sometimes watch online courses (lynda.com) on my Android 3.2 tablet. I can't seem to find anyway to fullscreen the flash video. Is there an app/alternative browser that will allow me to do this? If you long press on the applet, does a bar appear across the top with a rectangle on the left? If you press that it should go fullscreen. On some of them you can also double-tap the applet.

IT Guy posted:Do you know of a way to have it stretch to fill the screen? When I click that maximize button, it basically keeps the flash video in the center with a huge black border on all sides. It could be the original resolution of the video, but is there a way to fill the screen with it? When you press the maximize button, it just maximizes the Flash applet itself, so the video you're looking at is probably a widescreen video in a more squarish applet. I don't think you can change Flash's behavior, but you can probably get it the size you want by pinch-zooming on the page itself.

Is the Amazon store completely retarded for anyone else since the last update or so? If you have an update, you select it and it starts to download. Once it downloads you get the standard Android "Install dis poo poo" screen. After it installs, you get the other normal "Install complete" screen with the option to open the freshly installed application or dismiss the screen. Then for some reason you get prompted to install again (replace) as well as getting a notification letting you know again that the fucker was installed that says "Tap to launch." Oh, and if you decide to download something that requires wifi and you're not on it, the downloading notification is stuck there until you connect to wifi and download or clear data for the Appstore. I guess they tried to make it easier but it just throws up a bunch more poo poo that gets in the goddamn way.

Cardiovorax posted:I played around some more with that JuiceDefender and drat, is that thing ever worth it. I fully charged my stock SGS2 last night, turned on the JuiceDefender, switched off WiFi and didn't touch it again until this morning. Twelve hours later and it has barely lost 5% charge. I could leave the thing running for well over a week now, wow. How long does it take for your data to come back on after you turn on the screen? On my phone (Droid X) it took several seconds. It was incredibly annoying to have to wait to use my phone each time, so I uninstalled JuiceDefender.

AlexMoron posted:Has anyone had any problems with Amazon Appstore using a shitload of CPU recently? The past few days, I wake up to about three warnings from Watchdog that it's been detected above threshold (over 80%) and now matter what I do, I can't get it to stop. I make sure to kill it whenever I'm done with it so it shouldn't be starting back up unless I purposefully open it again. The Amazon store is an absolute shitpile. I broke down and bought Autostarts today and found out Amazon wants to fire up all the goddamn time. If you have the previous version I'd recommend reverting, because the newest version only adds frustration. At least the old version didn't constantly notify you about poo poo you've already done.

fudsak posted:Careful, I think Amazon needs to run and phone home once a day in order to use its apps. That could kill my alarm clock in the morning... Haha I use Gentle Alarm as well. I'm not sure if you remember, but there used to be a licensing problem with it in the past. What would happen is the alarm would go off, but if you tried to enter the application to dismiss it, it would give an error saying to redownload from the Amazon store. I'm guessing that's the worst that could happen. I open the Amazon store once a day anyway to see what they're giving away, so I'm not too worried.

Should I take the time to switch to ADW or LPP again, or is there any way to get Go Launcher Ex to use a simpler transition effect? I went through all the ones the app came with and the only one that isn't obnoxious is cube (outside) and it makes my phone lag. menu->preferences->Effects Settings->Desktop Transition effect->Default will set it to the minimal slide animation.

Maybe it's related to the credit card provider.

Factory Factory posted:Hey, Goons, I'm looking for something I'm having a hard time Googling. This seems like a pretty specialized case. Are you going to tie something to your phone and drag it across the floor? Just searching for "accelerometer" in the market brings up a lot of things that will record the data. Some look like they will extrapolate distance, and some say they give you data from the other sensors as well. I haven't tested any of them, but I'd figure at least one of them will do both. If you had a motor that could pull the phone at a constant rate you could just get something that records orientation data and not worry about the accelerometer.
