Anyone else get an OTA yesterday ?
Just wondering what it did.
I cant see anything different.
1.36.531.6 is the software number.
Still Android 2.3.4 .
It's been out for a while now the only difference I noticed is that my phone doesn't overheat anymore

Aren't you guys worried this will make it harder to root later?

Hell no you can root after installing the update or downgrade back. You only have to worry if an update upgrades your hboot, then you might have a problem.

Ya that's what I mean. Well did it upgrade anyone's hboot?

I wouldn't think it would do anything with the hboot since most of us have an unlocked bootloader. Even if it does re-lock the bootloader then we can always unlock it again.
Its an old update and this update I noticed that my phone isn't overheating anymore.

I installed this update the day I got my phone so I don't really have a before and after comparison, but my phone still gets much hotter than I'd like.
The phone (as reported by battery indicator) idles at 4.2 volts at 28ish celcius. If I actually use it (using the browser, playing angry birds, really anything where the screen stays on), it heats up to maybe 42c and voltage drops to about 3.8. I don't have a graph to tell me what the actual temp/voltage is when I'm playing a game or whatever though, that's just what I see immediately after exiting an app that heats up the phone. Seems kind of backwards that it would idle at what's seemingly it's maximum voltage though but I don't know anything about phones. Also, keeping the screen on at low voltage seems to eat up about as much battery as being on a phone call.
What kind of temps are you guys seeing?

The ROM number is the same as the ROM Xboarder has been using for his ROM's.
So unless there are some patches (or a different radio, kernel, or something), I would not expect any difference in performance unless you were on a different one.
Maybe give all the software component numbers to see if any of them are new with this OTA.
Will installing .6 wipe my .5 changes?
Will the home panel app and widgets created in .5 disappear after the .6 upgrade?
How about installed skins?

Everything should be the same. If your currently rooted them you will have to re-root.

I also notice that my speed test bump from 5-8mbps to 10-18mps. unlike my previous(defect) one which only goes 5-8mbps.
same updated software 1.36.531.6
WiFi Tether & Root
Has anyone lost the ability to WiFi tether with the update to .6? Also I'm reading that I will have to re-root?
I have a Telus Amaze and just checked the software info. I am on 1.41.661.3. I have no idea what the difference is. I CAN tell you that I have had no overheating at all and that with my regular use (which is typically light to moderate) I am getting 34ish hours on a charge. I am unrooted and have received no updates from Telus.
Just after writing this post I checked and am currently at 37 hours with 27% battery left.

I just want to take this time and thank all the devs and people who have contributed to the release of the 2.3.4 build on xda. the wake up lag is gone, as well as the ui lag after first waking up the phone, and also it has the crt animation even with the lcd density issue, i just use launcher pro, so its all good. this is amazing!!! i don't know how my day could get any better!!
I really want to unlock my bootloader and install 2.3.4 but the whole voiding my warranty has me worried. I keep thinking what if something happens and I need a replacement. Oh man. Decision time.

Well, after I unlocked my bootloader, I had a nice little text in the top left of my screen that read "unlocked". But after having some problems (own problems, not because of unlocking) I flashed back to the .57 sbf, and the "unlock" text when away. Then after flashing the unlocker sbf, I didn't have to go to fastboot and do the oem unlock command. So, it's like the bootloader is unlocked (the fuse is physically blown) but the unlocked bootloader is not fully in place until flashing the unlocker sbf (whatever that does).
So anyways, if something did happen to your phone with in your warranty, do you think if you could still get into the RSD protocol support you could just flash the .57 sbf and it would maybe cover it up to Motorola or whoever checks the phone that the bootloader is unlocked? How do you think they actually check that? Or if they will actually go through the trouble to do whatever it is in order to check?

Yea, I'm really loving it too. It's so quick. Did you try setting the screen density in the build.prop file to 270 instead of 240? I did that and while things did fit on the stock launcher, it made everything bigger to where it almost looked distorted to me...I didn't like the way it looked so I set it back to 240 and just used the Gingerbread launcher.
I concur, it is pretty amazing. I love how I can use swype beta now. Loads better!

im sorry i can't really answer this, partly because I just flashed it at 12 am in the morning and put it onto the charger and now its morning where im at. but in the few minutes i used it, it didn't seem to drain that fast
The battery life seems to be worse than froyo. Can someone else confirm this?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yep battery life is worse than froyo drains too fast!!!
Can someone give me a heqds up where to get 2.3.4 at and how to get it. I have gingerblur right now.
The battery drainage issue has got to be a rouge app driving it down. My phone is at 70%. I took it off the charger last night after I flashed 2.3.4 and I had a ton of internet usage and a few calls today.
While I hate to say this, you should look at the "task manager" app that is included with the Atrix builds and actually use the Auto-End list function. Before I found out that I DoubleTwist was killing my battery and uninstalled it I was using this auto-end list to help take care of the other apps that were going stray.
Going back and paraphrasing what the CEO of Motorola Mobility said that all apps are not created equally and some are definately coded poorly and drive battery usage down. As much as we may hate to hear it, the guy is right.
Good luck,
NW
2.3.4 was nice but in all honesty the offical release will most likely be out in less than a month and it will not have as many as the issues that this one has
I agree, it is quite amazing. The battery life is rather short now. It is definitely out of whack because I cab power it down at 70% and when I turn it back on it is at 90%.

FWIW, I ran the OTA, then returned to my heavily modified deodexed stock ROM and the kernel I was running before the OTA. All I wanted was the updated radio.
My battery life is just fine, and I don't have whatever that VZW spyware app was.
I ran the OTA and afterward flashed my previous kernel, and reflashed my previous custom rom (RezRom 1.5) and I've been unplugged since 5:00 AM this morning. It's now just after noon, and my standard battery is at 78%. To me battery life is looking good, but I know I don't have the Verizon Location Service running, cause it's not on my phone.
Stock with no root at all here on a fresh refurb with the 2750 extended 3.7v OEM and I'm seeing significantly WORSE battery life after the OTA. I know the Verizon location agent crap doesn't help but even with it force stopped thru the day its definetly not what it used to be. Thinking about rooting and romming lol anyone think I should or just wait for ota ICS since I've waited this long. (Have never flashed a single rom in my life) lol

I have been wandering around XDA now for about the last 3 months looking for my problem and no one seems to have the same issue...
When my battery gets down to 20%, it immediately jumps to 15%.
I'm not new to this, I've tried several ROMs and several kernels. I got the firmware patch hoping that the issues would go away. I've had random battery ups and downs.. sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but never consistent and acceptable. When I say "good" I'm referring to about 6 hours of very light use.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.
Currently running CleanROM DE with Firmware patch.

I have a 3.7... But this is my second battery, the first one was a 3.8...
It did not do it when I bought it stock, or even when I started rooting it. It started after about the 3rd ROM I put on it, and I've never been able to get rid of it. It does get hot, but its not really out of the norm.. (most dual core phones with 4g are going to get warm, 4g takes an extreme amount of energy to use)
I can't believe this hasn't been brought up earlier... I was only hesitant to bring it up in development because I didn't want to be accused of not using the search button.

It has been brought up, but people said that it's a bad battery. I'm not convinced it's battery, I think there's something more going on. It happened to me, stock, out of the box, and with multiple batteries.

Run the battery down until the device powers down on its own, this will not hurt the device or battery. Keep the phone off and let the battery charge up fully. Do this a few times....

Just read your post... you're right... not much help there. And I agree, I can't see a brand new battery that's never been used or re-calibrated showing the same "symtoms" as the old battery. It has got to be something not hardware related. All my brothers have Rezounds and I actually let one of them use my battery and it didn't do it in their phone, so a bad battery is out of the question I think.

The one I swapped with has the same exact ROM as I do as well as the same kernel. The only difference may be his recovery. I think he has one version newer Amon Ra than I do... but I've been using the same recovery since the beginning, and it started doing this well after flashing that recovery.

are you using 4g/3g when this occurs?, WiFi, which band?, powersave mode?, basically all the settings.....
Does it do this at 100% stock, not even signing in to your google account or updating apps.

using primarily 4g, no wifi (N when I do), no powersave mode. Thinking back, it started with the first ROM that had powersave mode. Since then I've always disabled that feature hoping it would go away, all with no luck.
It never did it when it was stock, I certainly don't want to revert it back to check now. Haven't checked when initially setting up after a flash, so I don't know if Google affects it at all.
Haven't tried a different SD card. Though I may take it out and see how it behaves after I do a dead charge on it.

It's not your SD card. Your SD card has nothing to do with your battery jumping, I promise you. If I had to guess, I'd say it's something with the kernel, but what do I know. It should be more wide-spread if it's the kernel.

For sure, but why would that cause either inaccurate battery readings, or massive power drain? It's actually not really clear which one it is, of those options, but it'd have to be absolutely enormous power drain to go from 25%-14% in a short period. So how would a SIM or SD card cause inaccurate battery readings? I ask because I have no idea, not being snarky.
My phone's battery is draining drastically. Immediately i start doing something with the phone, the battery starts draining heavily. The highest i can get is about 4 hours of use. I've considered buying the Mugen Power 1950mAh Extended
Battery for the Amaze 4G but i want to know if anyone can testify that the battery actually does what they promised. The phone is gradually driving me crazy. I've even tried different roms, no of them stopped the battery drain. I just need testimonies on this battery or any other 100% sure method that can work.. thanks!

Even though the sensation battery does work on the amaze, it is smaller than stock amaze battery. Secondly, are you on the latest updated radio and base build? What ROM are you running? If you want decent battery life then try speedrom, miui (older version haven't tried the new one), sense 4 ROM and cm10 has decent battery life as well given you have the right settings enabled. If you keep your 4g data connection on all the time then you will end up with horrendous battery life on any ROM; good luck
Don't get mugen, go to eBay and get EC battery (1900mA). I got a package that included 2 EC branded batteries and a separate dock charger (basically you can charge one battery while using the other in phone) for only 16 bucks and battery life is way better than the stock on these cheap Chinese batteries (I get anywhere between 3 to 3 1/2 hours of screen on time on average and a total time of around 16-17 hours with that kind of usage which is amazing and I have been using these batteries for about 6 months)

I got a package that included 2 EC branded batteries and a separate dock charger (basically you can charge one battery while using the other in phone) for only 16 bucks and battery life is way better than the stock on these cheap Chinese batteries (I get anywhere between 3 to 3 1/2 hours of screen on time on average and a total time of around 16-17 hours with that kind of usage which is amazing and I have been using these batteries for about 6 months)

Even though the sensation battery does work on the amaze, it is smaller than stock amaze battery. Secondly, are you on the latest updated radio and base build? What ROM are you running? If you want decent battery life then try speedrom, miui (older version haven't tried the new one), sense 4 ROM and cm10 has decent battery life as well given you have the right settings enabled.

Well if your on a tmobile firmware just download the firmware from arhd thread and rename it PH85IMG.zip and run it from bootloader if your not in a tmobile firmware according to my knowledge it's best if you run a tmobile ruu and then proceed

thanks for your help.. before i proceed, let me explain exactly how the battery drain happens....
when i charge it up to 100%, immediately i unplug it and leave it for 5 minutes without use, it goes down to 96%, and soon goes down to 89% within another few minutes and continues that way.. when am using the phone, the battery drain is even worse. what do you think? should i still proceed with your method?

The latest OTA update from tmobile did a lot of optimization for our Rom. Battery sees an improvement. Follow my guide and report back. ARHD 4.0 is based off of the latest OTA and I can't complain.

Maybe they found a hole to something they did not want to be found? (Bootloader?)

Thanks for the info.
Good news for all Elnarnians!
EDIT: wonder how long before cmahendra figures out the url to the update
Seems odd that it took them so long to figure out there was a problem. And don't they test this stuff before releasing? Of course they do. I think I have to go with carloswii5. They must have found a vulnerability.
I think it may be a mixture of both, on my device battery life is absolutely horrible, on a good day I need to charge it 2 times a day, but usually 3... The vibration on it cuts in and out sometimes, such as now... Some times the vibration works when I type but other times it doesn't... Hopefully they send out a new update correcting these problems... Or I'll have to get a external battery

I have seen the battery problems... but it is not consistent meaning that it happens only under certain conditions (but I'm am not sure what).
Idk i have amazing battery life...

No degradation in battery life but battery app is broken
I did not really notice a degradation in my battery life. However, I do see that the battery app is sort of broken. When you go to 'Battery Use', my P769 always shows the screen taking 3% of my battery life. That has to be incorrect because the screen will take over 30% of your battery life under the best conditions. Note that I have no games or 3G/4G being used and neither do I listen to or stream music at all. So, the screen usage percentage is definitely wrong.
So let me ask this... For those of us that DID take the update to JB and things are broken... When this update resumes, will we get another FOTA to fix it? Or are we stuck with this crap now?

Even your app preferences? For example... I have purchased ADW EX... EVERY time I boot the phone, it asks me which launcher I want to use by default. I choose ADW, and press "Always." Next reboot, same thing. It does this for ALL of my apps that have conflicting apps. Music, Gallery, etc.
I'm downloading the 10e for T-Mobile... So I think I'm just gonna try and install that, and once I'm back on ICS, Root, and use the root keeper, then update. We shall see... This download is slower than molasses though.
EDIT: Back on ICS 10G, the 10E was a bunk download... But all my previous issues are now fixed. ...So in my case, the update was in fact at fault. Not sure why, but I no longer care. LOL
