Ics soak test has begun!!!!!!!!

[Ponyboy25]

I had a similar problem in mid Sept. The phone was always running warm and using Battery Monitor Widget app it was consuming 125-150mah when asleep. Before that time, it would consume 20-40mah while asleep, so as you can tell, that shortened my battery life from about 24 hrs of light use to about 6 to 8. The temps were also running higher. I searched everywhere and found nothing. I cleared the cache and even did a hard reset and to no avail. Finally i tried to get on 4g (since i usually leave it in 3g mode) and it would never connect, just remained in 3g; it wouldn't even show a white 4g. It also took a few minutes after fully booted to find 3g signal. I played around with the Sim card and finally called verizon. Tech seemed to think the 4g attenna was broken and when the phone starts it will do a network check briefly flashing to 4g even if set to 3g and it was stuck in some sort of loop constantly trying to get 4g service. In the end I got a warrantied replacement bionic which works great now.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this already, but Smart Actions helped me out with this by suggesting a rule to disable background syncs when my phone is not in use ("Battery Extender" rule). My battery life has definitely improved using this.

I'm sure I missed it somewhere folks, sorry, but where do you register for soak testing??

Motorola's website. And word on the street is that Moto is debating whether 246 or 247 will be the OTA build. If 246, we won't get JB. If 247, we will get JB as long as they can get it out by March. This basically sucks.

That's a very good question. Confirmation emails haven't gone out yet. If we don't see them by Thursday, well, there will be a lot of pissed off people. So I don't know. I really don't.

Thanks Sam, will check it out. 246 or 247? I thought I had read before that 246 was possibly getting scrapped because it was removed from the server?

 

[SamuriHL]

It's not removed. They got 246 on qa2 and 247 on an sdc server. They could use either for the soak. I suspect the decision making is why the confirmation emails haven't gone out.
