Guest windy_miller Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I haven't tried with a different rom, is their even any others I can try? Maybe I need to reset the battery stats in CWM? As soon as I got the phone I unlocked and flashed a custom ROM on it and then fully charged the battery... Not sure if that's relevant at all. I flashed two days ago, their has been a now ROM released since then? Cheers I wasn't sure if you are on the pre-release ROM or not. May be worth resetting the battery stats in CWM. Also, install Better Battery Stats from the market. Give you phone a full change, then unplug it and leave it for a day. Then look in Better Battery Stats at "Process", "Partial Wakelocks" and "Other" since unplugged. Partial Wakelocks will tell you if anything is preventing your phone from sleeping. Process will tell you what has been using the CPU. Other will tell you how long the phone has been awake, how long the screen has been on etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be using a task killer app to make sure I don't have a bunch of background apps running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest raverrr Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 The keyboard seems very good, I have used it I like the swipe to change format to Numbers or alpha numeric it also seems very accurate as though it was made for this phone, You could keep it included for those who want it, I personally use Swype. I found if you where using the Walkman first the FM radio wont work right away, you have to come out and go back in again. Yer i added the sony walkman for testing purposes. I quite like it. Makes a change from the stock one.I also have a MIUI music apk that works with the crescent.might be worth trying that one if you have had an issue with the walkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wait until after you've looked t at the battery stats, which may reveal some rogue app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh great now my phone display is flashing really bad around the edges, I thought it was something to do with the auto brightness but I turned it off and it was exactly the same! I think this phone is faulty or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is very rich. I would leave it on the rom. Whats MIUI like? I have Fades Music on the other phones, but crashes regularly, so I was tending to stick to Winamp. I haven't been noticing battery problems like the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been noticing battery problems like the others. The MIUI music app is my favorite because it has the option to browse by folder and a nice simple widget. The only downside to it is sometimes lyrics don't work. I'll link it when i'm done uploading another TMV test ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stokietom Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know why the screen on the SFII could suddenly start to flicker :(? EDIT - Okay can someone try this please - Turn your brightness right the way up and have a look close to your screen, do you see some sort of flicker? Cheers Edited March 1, 2012 by stokietom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times it seems to flicker more than other times, right now it's not so noticeable but earlier on it was doing it VERY badly. Maybe it could be normal? Can only notice it on light backgrounds... On dark backgrounds you can't really notice it at all. ProSPAMly because it's a cheap TFT screen ZTE used. ¬_¬ I need to figure out how to change it all back to stock firmware but I don't know what I have to do. Can I just flash a stock firmware zip via cwm? Edited March 1, 2012 by stokietom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Russ_uk Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Unfortunately I don't have access to another unlocked phone, or one locked to O2. I tried to unlock my old Samsung Tocco Lite, but ended up bricking the thing in the process. As I said in my last post I'll be happy to do it for you, If you don't mind being without your sim for a few days whilst it's in transit, Just PM if your interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Russ_uk Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Great news on RLS#3 raverrr :) I noticed that both testers have the OSFII so If you need or want a tester for the TMV, I'll happily volunteer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnnyZTE Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Raverr, Did you add HW graphics acceleration to the test ROM, I was playing Angry Birds o it and Its really smooth, and in general the phone seems snappier, Maybe its just me, Cant wait for you finished version, there is a few people here wants updating. Can see titanium backup getting used alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stokietom Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Nothing. That's weird... Are you 100% sure you don't notice anything even when look very close? I first noticed it when I had a blueish background set and the flashing was very eye catching at first. Maybe it's something to do with one of the light sensors if this phone has them?

I had 2 TMV and 2 SF2 testers including myself. The Theme is now pretty much done. I'm just waiting on frodo to report back to me about the TMV version. I've had problems with it not booting. Fingers crossed tho. If it gives me any more trouble i might just release the SF2 version first. Not being able to test and tweak the TMV version is getting frustrating >:| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stokietom Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Wow so many gripes with this phone... Fully charged the battery 20 mind ago, all I've done is gone on Facebook and sent a message and now I'm down to 90% battery. With the battery app what should I be looking for that's draining the battery so much? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
