Hi there,
Dropbox automatically stops uploading photos when the battery is low, but their definition of low is 15%... which is plenty of battery if you ask me. I can't find anything in the dropbox forums, is there any way to disable/edit this feature so that maybe it stops at 5%?
EDIT, could somebody move this post to the Q&A section please? Sorry..
Thx.
Haven't you posted in a wrong section Mate ?? You should have put it in the Q & A section !!

Thank you! Maybe over here somebody can help.
You can turn off automatic uploading.

Why would he do that - defeats the purpose completely...
Don't think there is a way to avoid the low battery in Dropbox, but try with FolderSync. That should work.

Simply, use FolderSync instead of automatic upload of Dropbox.
Create a folder pair of whole sdcard and a remote dropbox folder with following settings:
1. Filter for photos only (using extension based filtering)
2. One-way sync (upload only)
3. Instant Sync
Done!
In case, your photo source isn't only camera (like you download photos from web) and you want to upload only camera photos, choose only specific camera folder in folder pair instead of whole sdcard.
Are poeple not making more noise about this? This is a huge pain for me, and I would prefer to have Dropbox upload my pictures than FolderSync.
I contacted Dropbox and they asked me to vote here for this feature: https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/10140/remove-auto-pause-upload-at-30-battery-capacity
But come on, 32 votes?? Among which, 6 are mine.
Having the upload pause at 30% is just ridiculous with the battery life of many devices.
I love FolderSync, but I am under the impression that Dropbox has less overhead battery consumtion for instant sync. Or am I wrong about that?

I second you !
DB is the best cloud but they are a bit retarded on this point.
this feature is just stupid, 30% is a lot of battery time and it makes no sense to pause uploads.
can there be a hack code done to change this behaviour?

Hey Folks.
I'm just a beginner for Android, but have some expirience with several PC-Programming languages. Hopefully this is the right place for this Question?
The first thing I'd like to do sounds simple, but there is a point where I'm not able to find a solution.
The Quest:
I'd like to have 1%steps in akku-display. on my DEFY
What I' found until now:
There are 2 Files containing the Information!
/sys/devices/platform/cpcap_battery/power_supply/battery/capacity
there is a symlink to that file
/sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
and the file can be found on two furthermore places:
/d/battery
/sys/kernel/debug/battery
at the same locations there is a second file : charge_counter
This is also with the named other directorys.
The file "charge_counter" contains the 1%step-value for the akku-level!
The file "capacity" contains the 10%step-value which is displayed by all the Widgeds and tools
The files in /sys/devices and /sys/class can't be changed. Even with 777 they resist any write-atempt
The files in /d/battery and /sys/kernel/debug/battery CAN changed they are 666 by default.
So the idea was just to copy the content from "charge_counter" to "capacity" if "charge_counter" change its value.
at first it seems to work! Every Value I wrote to "capacity" is present with the whole System! It changes the value in every presence of "capacity" I found. Also It changes the Batt-Widgets content, the status-bar-symbol and so on.
BUT
The Problem:
Once changed the value in "capacity" the phone doesn'd update "charge_counter" any more. Also "voltage" an some other Values in that directory will stop showing the real state!
So once I copied the value it will shown fine and than never change again until reboot.
Question: HOW can I avoid stopping the Update?
Sorry for typo ... english is not the language I usaly speak
any ideas?
This should be in the development thread. Not many have their eye on this section.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Sounds good... post in development. If we have 1% step values, must be a way to be show.
I think I can't ... hav not enough Posts here until now! Maybe someone else may post it?
"bitboy0, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"
Leave it in this forum for now. It's related to Apps from what I understand.
Also, you won't be able to post in the Dev sections until you have 10 posts
Yes, I knew that 10-posts-thing as I red the stickys
Until now I tried to solve the "problem" without Java ... just using "Tasker" and the locale-execute-plugin ...
But I think It would be more effektive to handle that using Java? ...
It makes me sad to know: here the pro's doesn't read ...
Where the pro's are I can't write.
Excellent question!

Here you go a new thread has been create to see if someone will take on hacking the Defy to get 1% increment
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11295128
Do you think that can help ?
http://grepcode.com/file/repository...2_r1.1/com/android/server/BatteryService.java
I don't think this all is needed. I am almost sure, that it's just about editing battery stats (and maybe some others) xml's and png's in framework-res.apk. Nothing more.
edit: And maybe something in services.jar. I had it changed on X10 mini.
Battery Monitor Widget now supports Motorola Defy
Hello,
Just to let you know support for the Defy has been added in BMW (which can be download from Market).
You can follow the app thread here.
Can someone test it and let me know if it works ok, not having a Defy makes it hard for testing
By the way Defy supports need to be activated in settings / monitoring settings!
Works perfectly. Wondering if it depletes more battery.

Good question! As I don't have a Defy can't say... Last week I checked consumption and found it as low as 0.05% CPU consumption on both a HD2 and Samsung Galaxy S!
Yesterday test results are attached, logging and refreshing every minute, screen on with mA in notification bar and didn't start the UI, just monitoring.
Will add more test result (screen-off, etc) in the app thread
Nevertheless on the Defy, the app will get % from a file (instead of event-based) and will also compute mA estimates, so it will definitely consume a little more...
Maybe you could run some tests comparison with or without activating the support?
EDIT:
Removed any comparison with other app
Hey guys I was editing my picture with a photo editior on the phone and when I saved it, it somewhat corrupted it which will not allow me to view it however the wallpaper,which I set it under, still shows the picture... is the picture stored in a cache ? is there a way how I can grab it from registry?
Hey guys which thread consists of alot of views on XDA? no one talks about touch pro and all these old phones... just views no comments... =(
Sorry, I usually wait for others to post about these things before I formulate an opinion, much less voice it.
I don't know for sure if this will help but can you open the picture on your computer? Basically, copy the corrupted picture to your microSD and use an adapter that works and attempt to open the picture up on your computer.

I have the corrupted picture , but when I try to open it says it can not open it and its 0kb...I want to know if its like a computer, where sometimes I delete the wallpaper picture but still using it and for me to actually get it I have to go to the windows folder and find it to copy it.. however there isn't much in the windows on the windows mobile.
But thank you R^7z, I never hear from anyone here... its the only forums that never speaks.. seriously!
I'm not sure about this but I think PPCGeeks may have a louder CDMA RAPH fan base. Either that or there seems to be more talking in the newer device forums??? I usually hang out in the RAPH/Android forums when I am on here but occasionally I do browse the newer posts.
Not 100% as to where the actual picture is stored if that is the case. I imagine if this was a stock picture, you could get it back with a hard reset. Additionally, I wonder if the photo editor saves it somewhere?
Well first off I'm glad to see that I had saved it to my computer so I do have back up, but I'll continue my search to where it does save it to... once again thanks r^72. Most forums are talking about newer phones, android espically lol but yeah I post it up on ppcgeeks asweel and got a few info but waiting for tomorrow for more.
Sorry, No longer supported..
Mod can close thread at his/her convenience.
Thanks,
Z.

by Deadlocked007, these map packs are set for HTC locations and Premium Navigation. Basically once you have the app installed it will give you the option to
download maps for offline viewing.
These are those maps.
Won't these need to be renamed for the phone to recognize it when you move it to the .data folder? They don't appear to have the same names as the ones you'd get straight from the phone.

I went on to double check the names. Apparently the Minus site is down for whatever reason, not sure why but as of now its not letting me log in via handset or browser. Just boots up a blank screen? The full name that I currently see on my sd card when viewing properties shows as this...
"United States - West.cmap"
If these names are not the same as above during download something must be going on w/ minus. Soon as it will actually let me view their site again, I'll make sure I resolve the problem or even find a better place to upload them.
EDIT: Thanx again for pointing out the error in the name. I was finally able to look it up and it seems that Minus is putting a "%20" for spaces in the file name. I tried to go in and edit the name but that doesn't even show "%20". It shows it as normal. So yes, I guess you would need to remove that. Wish I would've seen that before. Ill make sure I update the OP to include the name change. Thanx again

Correcta mondo!
I spent a whole day d/l the US maps to my phone and spent the greater part of a whole night uploading them to my minus account. I currently only have the US maps d/l so far. I suppose I can check out the others and d/l them as well. I'll grab the India one first and so forth and keep going from there. This does take time though so just fyi
I'll update the OP as the downloads/uploads go through.
Note: Interested to join minus. Use my Link !

Helps us both get more space + these maps that are taxing me on available space...

Hi all,
This is my first time posting in this forum but after reading some of your replies in the main thread, I figured that I'd give some of my input too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486199
Defect list
- Video call not working unless used with 3rd party apps (Skype etc) [KNOWN]
- High battery drain using 3rd party video calling apps [KNOWN]
- No Swype feature, I thought this was supposed to be a stock feature with all mods/custom roms but Foxhound doesnt have it for some reason.
- Voice search on Google/Google Search widget doesnt record voice and always shows an error
- Attaching media to SMS via share option doesnt attach on first try. I'll have to create an SMS and then attach pics, files etc thru the msg rather than the other way around. This worked great in ICSrewd and some other ROMS but not on this one.
Otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with the ROM, its quite stable and has given me the best battery life I could ask for even running live wallpapers. My average battery time varies anywhere from 16-21 hrs depending on light to moderate usage.
I watched 3 movies back to back and was still left with 30% charge on the phone.

Bumping an old thread, but I wanted to let you know you can just re-save the ID3 tag data with MP3tag on these files. They should come up under the correct artist after that instead of "Unknown". I was having the same problem, lots of "Unknowns," but doing this fixed them all so far. I didn't even have to make any changes to the tags, just re-saving the existing tags was enough. Other ID3 tag editors might work as well, but so far this is the only one I've tried.
Oh, and the album art wasn't showing up for a lot of them, but using the option in cloudaround to force a scan for missing art fixed that. This is a pretty sweet app!

Weird, it's worked for me on everything so far. I re-save the tag data in Mp3tag, then delete the files in Box and upload them again. Maybe try making a minor change to the filename or something, then resaving - both in Mp3tag. If you want, you can send me a few of your problem files and I can try them here.

Okay, I just loaded them into my Box account and updated CA - all of those songs are showing up under their respective artists. I didn't do anything other than unzip them. I can send you a screen cap if you don't believe me. I suggest deleting and then re-adding them manually in your cloud account.
