[Q] Observed Differences Between OLYFR_U4_1.2.6 & OLYFR_U4_1.5.2? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there was a thread already posted with a similar topic (here), but I figured since a few days had passed since the 1.5.2 SBF was leaked, people might have some additional observations...so a thread for people to give their feedback might be helpful.
As far as what I've noticed:
#1: No more weird dimming issues when the phone goes to sleep.
I'd noticed on 1.2.6 that when my screen was in the process of turning off, it would dim...then get super bright again before shutting off. 1.5.2 seems to have resolved that issue.
#2: More detailed "Battery Usage" screen.
On 1.2.6, I'd usually only see 5-6 items listed and what percentage of the battery they used. Now though, I typically get something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't recall seeing individual applications being listed before 1.5.2, even on my Captivate.
So...anybody else with any noteworthy observations/changes they've seen?

Hahaha; my apartment is a black hole for cellular service. My Dad and sister both have Verizon and they have to go outside to make calls.
Thankfully I'm moving next month and actually get 3G/H+/whatever the eff they're calling it in my new place.

So the APP Network, anyone else notice it is terrible?

So after rooting and messing around with different roms and such, I installed an app called network that has been mentioned on here, to see about switching to 3G easily while at work.
Well I started noticing that the phone couldn't keep a 4G signal at all anymore, but didn't put 2 and 2 together because of some of the other stuff I had done, mainly flashing through 3 different roms in 45 mins.
Well I unrooted my phone, and got it exchanged today because of some terrible back light bleeding, that thankfully my new phone doesn't have, and rerooted the phone, restored all my apps on Mik Rom, and BAM, 4G goes screwy out of nowhere. So I looked through everything and the only networking type app I had was Network. I uninstalled it, and now instead of 998 ping and .5 d/l speeds I am averaging somewhere near 14 down and 71 ping.
Only change was that app. Anyone else have this issue after installing that app? Or if you are having 4G issues, and have this app, UNINSTALL IT!
just thought I'd throw it out there, considering it was making me really mad.
Just tested it myself and it's all good here.

Did you make changes in the network app?
The app is designed to DISABLE 4g. So if you made changes then yeah you would lose 4g.
Im sure this isnt the case, but wanted to mention it just in case.
I use mine to disable 4g since im not in a 4g Area but it works fine this way. But then again my 4g cant go screwy because it doesn't exist.

Hmmm... I notice your speedtest app actually showing an accurate upload (compared to the double digits people used to post. Is this an updated version? Speedtest had acknowledged inaccurate reporting on the TB.

I don't really get it. So you're getting 23 hours but 81% Android OS. Did you only showed black pixels or what? Even at lowest I don't get that.
BTW, you can take screenshots by pressing home + power button. No need for third party apps .
So instead of having a look at the threads on this forums you made a thread for yourself? Smart.
There's already a massive thread on this topic.

Its just show that, as a matter of fact .. if i browsed the net or played with any app it will drain within 90 minutes.
and thanks for the screen-capture tip,
There seems to be a bug with KE2 on the SG2.
But Im not sure how long the battery lasts then and how it looks like. But it could be that

I can sympathies with your situation because I have same problem, but please read through the threads made before making comments.

[Q] Anyone removed Sprint's proxy?

I removed the proxy on my evo a while ago mainly because it broke the streaming music. I also noticed a pretty nice speed increase on top of it fixing my streaming issue.
Streaming works just fine on the 3D and 3G speeds are so so not as good as my evo with proxy removed. This could just be the radio or dumb luck. Has anyone tried removing the proxy to see if it has increased speeds any? I'm thinking about trying it but figure I would ask if anyone has given it a whirl yet.
Update:
I decided to just give it a try, called sprint, got a super cool guy gave me the MSL no ?'s asked. Was on the phone no more than a min with him, I am gonna make sure to answer the survey questions for him. I love getting cool people. Anyway just removed the proxy and ran some speed tests, didn't really make much of a difference.
I'm getting between 400-800 down & 500 up average. Like I said similar results with & without the proxy at least for me. I'm just gonna leave it removed, I can't imagine having the proxy will ever help speeds in the future. It is the middle of the day so average speeds tend to be a little slower. I have pulled 1,500+ down on my evo in the same test area at times but that wasn't an average.
If anyone else wants to try I would be curious to see if it makes any difference or not since different areas can perform very differently.
Yes, confirmed faster. There's a thread about this in the development thread.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?

oh ok. Didn't seem to have nearly the effect as it did on the evo but like I said I left it out. Plus I only did a few tests so I'm sure it will be better in the long run. A trackball would be kinda cool actually, I'm not sure where they would put it though.
Can someone post the original settings?

There's a chihuahua on your phone, I'll prove it

For most long time Samsung users, you probably already know about Samsungs service menu. And if you've spent enough time (too much time) on a Galaxy S II (I know at least the Sprint SGSII also has this), you likely have already seen a photo that doesn't appear anywhere else on your phone.
For those of you who haven't, here you go.
(note: this may not come up if you are running a custom rom)
1. Open your stock phone dialer and type in *#0*#

Once you type in the last # it will auto open.
2. Go to Sensor
3. Last step. Choose the Image Test button near the top of the screen

Seems nobody knows why Samsung chose to go with a picture of a dog or what it's name is. Any thoughts?

I guess I spend too much time prowling through debug menus, because I found that one already a few weeks ago...
Wonder whose dog it is?
Man, on UnNamed 1.3.0, and I type in the numbers in the dialer, and upon the last input, the numbers disappear and nothing happens
I tried doing it a few times in a row, Nothin

Ditto. 1.3.1 here. I assume gtg removed something?
I'm not sure about that either. It only brings it up when you're on 100% stock.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's part of the lcdtest program that gtg removed in 1.3.
I ran across this a couple weeks ago. I got a good laugh out of it.
Of all things why a chihuahua? lol. Funny nevertheless.
This is cool!
Fun little find

[Q] Why does my phone turn itself off at night?

I am on ICS XXLPQ rooted and since the beginning of the week, my phone has turned itself off during the night and thus my alarm doesn't go off. I've noticed some weird battery activity so I PowerDefrosted all my frozen apps to see if it fixes the issue.
I did accidentally flash a stock ICS over my Three branded one. Could this be the issue? Cos right now I'm considering a revert to GB as ICS is nothing but problems so far.
If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here's the odd activity in picture form;

well looking at your wake time it looks like your phone isn't going into sleep mode much overnight.
Check the apps list and see what app is using the most awake time.
I'm currently using a three branded ICS which I manually removed all the bloat from and my battery life is ok.
No ideas. The only thing using the most power is my display, but that's normal. Is there an app or a way to find out in more detail at all?
Cheers.
And my bloat is cleared, but only the ones I definitely know are safe.

Many people have encountered massive battery drains and random reboots on Sammy ICS.
Id suggest downgrading to GB or switching to some custom ICS rom as clearly sammy did a ver ****ty job.
If you want to moniter stuff try Ram manager pro....It keeps ur apps in control and id suggest juice defender also.
If it happens tonight I'm definitely downgrading tomorrow. I'm not impressed with ICS at all with all its teething problems. Its like going from XP to Vista.
Its weird because it only happens if the phone is left completely unattended for a few hours. During the day, there's no irregular spikes at all. That's what I cannot understand

Well you have something which awakes your phone and screen. It might be an app which tries/fails to sync, whatever. Get Better Battery Stats and see what's causing it, you're the only one who can help you.
