Keepin' it clean by keepin' smooth...:p

Ok finally after a few days of using my phone it has finally leveled off. My phone has been off the charger since 6am and I am at about 70% charged. Couldn't ask for more out of a smart phone. This is right in line with my Nexus One so I am no longer disappointed.

There are a few tweaks I did make to get this working this way.

(1) Screen brightness set at about 20% - The TB's screen is way to bright to begin with and making this adjustment is something that is not very hard to get used to.

(2) Screen Time out at 30 seconds - Setting to low will get frustrating if you like reading the news on your phone or browsing the web, 30 seconds seems just right for me.

(3) WIFI when not in car (triggered on and off by loss of Blue Tooth Connection and Not In Dock) Using WiFi instead of relying on your data connection will help save some juice while in a WiFi enabled building since your phone will not be trying to constantly search and connect to a data connection.

(4) Blue tooth off until docked - Saves battery by not transmitting a BT signal constantly. I only use Bluetooth in the car so triggered by the dock seemed logical.

(5) Syncing Facebook every 8 hours, News every 12 hours and Stocks (Who really needs this)

(6) I love widgets on my home screens so these get updated as I found necessary to me. Im not a major facebooker that needs to be on the bleeding edge of everyones life so 8 hours is probably even too much but adequate. News doesnt really update very often and compared to a daily news paper 12 hours is more than ample. Stocks, need I say more seriously I am not an investor and could care less.

(7) Over clocking your phone is not necessary right now, 1 GHZ is definitely more than you need on this phone. I am scoring about 1700 on quadrant which is pretty good for a 1ghz phone. My phone has never lagged and has functioned as expected since birthed to my hand. Keep in mind Over clocking will increase the performance of your phone but will tear at your battery as well and may cause heating issues.

(8) Not using an animated wallpaper. Even on my nexus one this was a major contributer to poor battery and phone performance. Animated wallpapers are very often poorly programmed or simply over bloated. Not too mention on the severe end of the priority list of needs. All though cool.

I am not over clocking or installing a custom rom on my phone quite yet because honestly the roms are not stable enough as expected this close to birth, and really don't offer any additional functionality that I find very useful as of yet. I am using Tasker to accomplish a few automated switching routines to toggle WIFI and Bluetooth. I am also using Folder Organizer to keep my apps categorized in a humane manor. I am a widget-aholic and have not really found a downside to having too a lot of widgets running.

How much do you use your phone a day?
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Not everyone is willing to cut out their social networking. A big part of smartphones now is always being connected. This includes social networking, sharing pictures, sharing locations... some people get into all of this and some do not.

Also, some people like weather updates, stock updates, news updates, etc. Everyone uses their device differently to fit their needs.

I think it is common sense that the more services you use which consume radio/data/processing time then the quicker you will drain your battery. ;)

Thank you for sharing the setup that works for you and affords you such great battery life. I have been having great battery life too. I am currently not in a 4G LTE area, but the device on 3G has been great on battery. You would never know there are any "issues" if people did not post about them!
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
What is your uptime, display on time, and partial wake usage?
[Thunderbolt General] ThunderStick:
I didn't check that deep in to it, but I had it plugged in to some speakers at work for about 3.5 hours playing slacker radio from wifi so I could rock at work. I used the phone to call tech support for my wifes phone which took a while and other shorter calls through out the day. Right now my up time is about 65 hours, awake time is at 26 hours. Not sure where to get partial awake. My display on timer only says 1 min. But honestly today was not a big phone use day and it sat in the dock on the ride home so all those stats are irrelevant today. But still my battery it at 83%. A lot of people were complaining about there phones dying with no or little use half through the day. So hopefully this brings a little light to the end of the tunnel.

I have basically the same things running on my phone. Only, my folder organizer keeps fc every time I attempt to edit a folders contents... Anyone have a suggestion?
[Thunderbolt General] rnot:
I've been getting great battery life as well, got 36 hours on my last charge. Have Perfect Storm 1.0, trip's 1.5ghz oc kernel (but don't actually run it that high). I have SetCPU set at 998/245 for normal, 245/245 for screen off and use smartass governor. I was also using my phone a moderate amount but had the 4g turned off as I'm in between 3g and 4g so it just keeps dropping and switching.
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
Glad to see someone is getting decent life.. I'm about to set a record for battery death.. phone has been on for 1 hour and 20 minutes and down to 65%.

On the bright side I am getting 20mbps down here at school.. SDSU..

4 bars of LTE flies
[Thunderbolt General] rnot:
Do you have it on LTE only mode?
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
Yah.. I am surfing pretty heavily though.. down to 58% now..

Guess ill have to sit in a different seat for the rest of the classes.. I see power outlets along the walls :)

It sucks though because on the Droid x, I could surf during the whole 3 hr class and walk out with 50% left.. guess this is the price you pay for this kinda power and speed lol
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
from 6am to 2pm phone is dead:mad:

music for a hour and half while on airplane mode

3g only

gps,bluetooth,wifi off

half hour of web browsing on 4G

about 15 messages on live Profile app

about 40 text messages

auto sync and background data off

One thing I dont understand is..When my phone is idle the battery is still draining.
[Thunderbolt General] wherestheboost:
6am to 6pm...

3g only (off when not using it)

gps,bt, wifi - off

games for about half an hour...

a couple calls

>20 txts

screen at 15%ish

autosync and background data off...

and now i'm at...89%

:D

I have also found that in the first couple of days (2 or 3 days) after a reset... the phone does a BUNCH of funky things. First night after a reset...VZwireless said at 3AM i had 130MB of transfer... not possible - i was sleeping. it wasn't me. but...i did wake up with >30% of the battery gone. I think the background data off is a good place to start...but definitely wait after a couple of days.
[Thunderbolt General] insanegod:
I seem to be getting about 36 hours of up time on a charge. Mostly on wifi at home/work. I have 4G turned off as its not available here yet.
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
Ok.. 4 hrs .. done for :(... Did make it through class.. 8% left
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
There will be a patch soon to help with the idle 4G battery drain. Lady on the phone told me its in the works. Either way I just got the extended battery today. I actually dont mind the extra size.
[Thunderbolt General] pegasixi:
Hmm... whats the anecdotal battery life for an extended battery given these settings? I've gotten to the point of running my display at 5% when indoors ==;;;

Also, I've heard of people getting free or heavily discounted extended batteries.... Any tips for this?
[Thunderbolt General] laneharts:
I am using an app called fastbright which really helps with the display battery drain...I just use it o bright when i cant see if i am outside....post #10!!! yay!
[Thunderbolt General] gogreenbay07:
I've used my phone a decent amount today and battery is still at 62%. Running Das bamf at 1.2 ghz and screen brightness at 100%
[Thunderbolt General] droidgrfx:
I feel the same way... if you are playing around on the tb while it is pluged in it will take a good 4-6 hours to charge to 100%
[Thunderbolt General] BobVS:
How do you set the phone to 3G only?
[Thunderbolt General] pathcafe:
You can download the LTE Onoff app from Team andirc and avoid the numeric input method. Just select "CDMA auto (PRL)" from the dropdown menu for 3g. Return to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto" for 4g.
[Thunderbolt General] glorysk87:
those are all good pieces of advice...but if you use your phone a decent amount, i'm finding that the battery is still draining pretty quickly...

Stock rom with stock kernel, just some vzw apps removed

News (set to sync manually)

stocks (set to sync manually)

tweetdeck for facebook/twitter set to sync every hour

facebook for HTC and Peep set to sync ever 8 hours (mostly just for contact picture updates)

exchange set to push from 7am to 5pm then every 4 hours after

1 pop account set for every hour

screen set to 2/3rd brightness (could lower this and save some juice i guess)

3G only area, no 4G here yet.
[Thunderbolt General] emarusamun:
My phone lasted 8 hours yesterday before I plugged it in at 25%. Was streaming Pandora the entire time, watched 4 or 5 YouTube HQ videos moderate txt and talk and surfing quite alot. Not in lte area so 3g only. I normally have my charger plugged into it within 3 hours after a charge. Love custom kernals. Was using adrynalynes 2.0 switched to his 4.0b today(not oc ...yet). I'm always near charge but phone gets hot hot hot.

Tbolt - VirusRom_rc1b2-bamf4.0b
[Thunderbolt General] cuguy:
I did most of the things listed on first post, but here's my take on the subject:

1) SetCPU profile for screen off. (lower max speed+conservative governor)

2) NO LIVE WALLPAPER!!!!!!!! (this will save your battery by a lot if you currently have it on)

3) Switch to 3g when you're not surfing/watching/playing anything

4) Lower screen brightness/ timeout to some usable values

I had my phone off charger for 4 hours, with minimal usage ( a few text, 20 min of music + bluetooth headphone) the phone was left with 89 %. I'm sure if I play something like Asphalt or Pokemon on GBA emulator then the battery would suffer a little more.

Final note: If you haven't realized this by now, your screen is your battery's biggest enemy.

Sent from my computer?
[Thunderbolt General] ThunderStick:
I suppose you have to look at it this way. If you left your laptop on and off the charger how much time do you get on that charge. Mine gets about 4 hours of constant use. A laptop has a massive battery. This is a fare comparison in my situation since my laptop is pretty outdated (1.5ghz) and less capable than my phone. CRAZY AINT IT:D

Hi,

I just bought a used nexus one with Cyanogen 6.1.1 and 5.08.00.04 radio, and the call volume is too low, barely I can't hear the other side. Is there any tweak that I can make? Should I replace the Rom / Radio / Kernel, or is this a faulty unit?

Thanks.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bascotie:
Hi guys,

I just followed the instructions on wiping my new G-Tablet device, putting Clockworkmod on it, then I put the latest edition of Vegan lite. It's AWESOME (WAY better than the original!).

Only thing is (and I had this problem when I tried rooting my device once before this after getting it brand new), 1-2 times I've had the speakers just play a loud noise constantly and I have to turn the device off and on.

The second time was early this morning (6am-ish). I had my alarm set for that time and instead of playing the alarm sound I chose, it just constantly played a loud noise that I couldn't stop. Anyone heard of this?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcod21:
if the sound is a static sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound that happehearden any audio is supposed to be heard yes, I've seen this. It doesnt always happen but after a while it starts making that noise when audio is supposed to be heard.

I bought 2 off of Woot and 1 had this problem. I read somewhere on these forums that it seems to be a hardware issue that only seems to affect a handful of g tabs. Woot gave me an rma for it and is replacing it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bascotie:
I believe that's the sound, I'll contact Woot :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectzro:
i had this problem when i went from vegan 5 to 7. it only happens every once and a great while. so i have no problems with it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcod21:
I had the problem with the stock rom and with TNT lite, it wasn't that big of a deal because a reboot would take care of it, but it bothered me because even with the volume turned all of the way down the static sound was loud. I would just feel rude if it did that on a flight or in class.... :p

After much searching and work on fixing my bricked captivate, i broke down and bought a jig from mobiletechvideos.com.

Anything i can do to fix this?

i cannot for the life of me get wallpapers to set well in landscape :(

They either pixelate more than a commodore 64

Only set the top half of the image

Set with a black bar at the top (I have status bar hacked to the bottom)

Or a mixture of the above :P

Any one got it working well?

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xofre:
i was in the same boat, and after a while searching i found this link

it has a handy template you can use to get full screen wallpaper to work; but to set it you may have to use "wallpaper chooser" (in market) as others cause pixelation

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Narfx:
Yep, that's the only way that's worked for me. Choose the image I want; paste it over the yellow/green zone in the template (I use landscape); select it using wallpaper chooser, probably the ugliest piece of software in the android market but also the only one that does what's necessary to set the wallpaper correctly. Voilà: crisp, uncut, screen-filling wallpaper.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Anon87:
I use

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.gaga.WallPaperSwitcher

If there's more than one wallpaper in your folder, just set the timer to zero and turn off auto. Then keep opening and closing the app til your happy. Seems to work for me.

Hello Guys,

I have the GT-I9000M and I recently upgrated my firmware to this version FROYO.UGKC1. I am getting the error message "Warning Camera Failed" everytime i launch the camera app so now I am looking to root my device to fix this. I found many different solutions but they all require for the device to be rooted. I tried rooting my device with the z4root app but it did not work and i am guessing it is because of my firmware version. I am new to rooting but I have read a lot of article about this since then. Can somebody please help me root my device or just find a solution to the camera issue? It would be really appreciated. Thank you!
