Yea I'm at 8hr40min as of right now @ 17% battery. I've had my display backlight turned down and have been at work the whole day doin nothing with my phone but light texting and posting in this thread. With my stock battery I get around 12 hours before the phone almost dies with regular/mild use.I'm starting to think this battery was a rip off.. hopefully once I charge it back up it will last longer but idk... If anyone has any tips or tricks to make this battery last longer please help me out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MCL1981:
FYI, after 12hrs, i'm only at 70%. That is with very poor signal at work all day, and playing pandora on the way in.

The newest version allows you to override that. Previously, the phone was telling it the capacity was 1500mah because that what the normal battery is supposed to be. The new version let me change it to 3500. So the % estimation should be accurate now. It is claiming I have 70% remaining or 2450mah. And 70% of 3500 is 2450. Now, where it came up with 2450, I have no idea.
[EVO 4G Accessories] beanx:
The first time after ur charged the battery when u got it did u let it completely die or plug it in when it hit 10% or so?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kerflop:
My first full charge on the same battery I got the exact same behavior. I was on the Stock Kernal that came with CM7.

Second charge, after changing to the Tiamat SBC, my battery is screaming... 6+ hours of heavy usage (video, web, lots and lots of text and 30mins of calling) and I am still over 50%. By now, I would have had to charge the regular battery...

Very pleased with this thing...
[EVO 4G Accessories] beanx:
well im about ready to unplug mine for the day and see how it goes, i fully charged it with the phone off with a wall charger. And have been cycling it witht he phone off by unplugging it when the light turns green, waiting for the light to turn off, then plugging it back in until the light turns from orange to green again. Ive been doing this for the last hour or so because somone in another thread about this battery said it help him out alot, i did unplug it when i first woke up and it dropped from 100 to 92 within 3 minutes so thats when i tried this cycling, i did unplug it in the middle after doing a dozen or more of these cycles and it staid at 100 for quiet a while then dropped to 99 after about 5-6 minutes of being unplugged and me browsing the web and market this being a huge improvement so id have to say the cycling of the battery does help idk how or why but whatever im not complaining ill post back later tonight once i see how the battery acts.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bombsquad450r:
So far I've had terrible luck with this battery can't get more time than stock. Charging it with an SBC kernal and it doesn't help, was avoiding spending 60 bucks on a battery but I think Ive no other choice.
[EVO 4G Accessories] beanx:
im at 2 hours with it right now, down to 70% i used it pretty heavily about 30min ago to reflash cm7, savagedzen sbc kernal, download all my apps, setup launcher pro plus, and re confiugre everything. It dropped rather quickly from 100 to where its at now so i guess we will see, BMW is estimating 10hr40min remaining battery life right now which would put it at about where my stock battery would die at around 12-13 hours, so we will see :-\

*edit*

BMW now saying 12hr10min at 70% battery? weirddd...

*edit*

BMW now saying 16hr23min at 65% battery, ive been using it moderately, used 4G for a second and WiFi for a few minutes as well...
[EVO 4G Accessories] iitreatedii:
Here's why the drop...the Evo along with other phones use bump charging to charge the battery meaning when the light is green you have anywhere between

90 and 100 percent at 89 percent down to zero you should not see such a dramatic drop...its a Evo thing the large drop
[EVO 4G Accessories] majorkillin:
How do you override that value? I looked all through the widget settings and I'm not seeing it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] beanx:
go into bmw, go to settings, monitoring preferences, second from the bottom battery capacity, just change that value from 1500 to 3500, took me a while to find it as well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pivo187:
Are there any extended batteries that are slim & not bulky?
[EVO 4G Accessories] iitreatedii:
Yeah ones that arent higher than 1500...
[EVO 4G Accessories] xhaui:
There is an option in the settings to change the size of the battery. So you can set it to show 3500mAh. It wont recognize the differance on its own.
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
On top of that, this number is only used to compare totals, so it is relative.
[EVO 4G Accessories] majorkillin:
Awesome thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] linhpham2:
Battery monitor widget lets you specify the battery capacity in the settings menu. It defaults to 1500 but can be changed.
[EVO 4G Accessories] A-to-the-J:
There is an 1800mah extended battery. It's the same size as the stock one so you can use the stock back cover.

I switched to the 3500mah extended battery and it's worked plenty for me. I've gone about a couple days with massive texting, mild phone usage, web usage and game playing. Funny thing though. The meter drops from 100% to 80% fairly quick, but stays stuck at 80% for hours on end. Then it stays stuck at 60% for hours, then decreases gradually. I run it til it's completely dead then throw in my 1800 and charge the 3500 in my TP2. LoL
[EVO 4G Accessories] egzthunder1:
That is because of the overcharge protection. If you want it to fully charge to 100%, you need to use a SBC kernel, albeit people claim that this is a dangerous practice...
[EVO 4G Accessories] fennix2010:
Hello dex! Just jkn hehe
[EVO 4G Accessories] kosanders:
So for this battery to work correctly.........

Do you need to install a different kernel? Or is that just for an accurate % indicator?

Also, Does anyone know what cases will fit over this one?
[EVO 4G Accessories] kevikevdottcom:
Have you tried the Yoobao 3000mah high capacity high quality extended battery??
[EVO 4G Accessories] aksharpatel417:
You would need to use a different kernel all the new Netarchy kernels have trickling charging enabled (aka SBC) read the cautions first i use it and have no problem but doesnt mean you will have the no problems. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719763 that the site to Netrachy kernel
[EVO 4G Accessories] imakul8:
I have the Seidio 3500mA extended battery. It has been tested by batteryboss at a little over 2800mA. Would it be better to set battery monitor widget to 2800 than 3500?
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
first it costs as a dualcore smartphone

then there are problems with its construction:

wifi weak and sensible to pressure antenna

Also you can press the metal back on the battery: theres a great solution htc: make the battery larger

I hope htc gets their problems straight and fix this and put a reasonable price on it

Also making sense an option would be great

Thats it

Im waiting for this phone to be buy-able.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i still don't see the point of getting a dual-core phone

besides its just gonna be more power hungry & produce more heat

the desire S has a very good build quality & its only down side is its wifi (which i hope htc fixes soon)

the build quality for me is much better than a phone with dual core that looks like a toy & never gets updated

the price is the only down side now :) ( but it went down a bit now in my area :D has to reduce just a little bit more)

i am waiting 2 will buy it on the first day it is available (hopefully)
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
looks like the only problem thats left is the exaggerated price

htc is known for that

@kart dual cores are better for performance and gaming. the desire lags at recording and playing video. thats a shame

all youre doing is making baseless and false assumptions
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
well hello

the 2 core htc has been announced so the price is definitely coming down soon
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
are you joking??!!

There has been a massive price cut today on o2 uk!!! its the same price as the old desire!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
the shops near where i live are still selling them for a price much higher than the original desire.but its good news that the price is down in the uk, maybe i can expect another price cut :D

@mariu$ i understand that the dual core i better for games but i heard that there is no lagg during video play back on the Desire S from a few friends (not sure though)...it is just that im worried about the heat its gonna produce for the higher processing power...

but i guess we cant say anything about that too until its put into a test :)
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
yes the price is better but we're not all in the uk

do you volunteer to buy one for me with invoice and all?

:p
[HTC Desire S] colgate13:
That wasn't a "massive price cut". Its been that price for awhile on O2.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
just noticed it today though. websites just publishedthe article today. its because its been a failure. it wont beat sales of the original desire.

also the new sensation came out.
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
the desire s is the best android phone now

build quality

interface

im ready to buy it for 350E
[HTC Desire S] RogerPodacter:
dual core is supposed to actually get better battery life than single core because the CPU's are more efficient, do less work for the same processing power, and are newer and optimized better.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Early reviews on the lg optimus 2x says that battery life on dual core is more or less the same as the old style single cores. Above is what the companies claim, but do you rember they said that with the origimal snapdragon?? They said battey life on it will be as good as other phnoes at the time? But they were wrong
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Also remember these are the first generation of dual cores so they may not be as well optimized yet! Kust like 2nd gen snapdragon inproved mainly performance amd effiency (therefore improving battery life!

[Vega General] serialkillazzs:
Wrong: CYANOGENMOD 7 RELEASED, HARMONY SUPPORT, DIDN'T NOTICE ANY POSTS REFERING TO IT:)

Right: CM7 was released, with Harmony support.

Wrong: SHAME THAT NVIDIA ARE NOT SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT FOR HARMONY CHIP FROM 2.2 ONWARDS IF REPORTS ARE TRUE:mad:

Right: It's a shame that nVidia isn't supporting Harmony developers from 2.2 onwards, if reports are true. :mad:

Mod Edit: All caps is annoying. Please don't use it. Thanks.
[Vega General] Lennyuk:
Yes if you actually look at the other CM7 threads you will see that the Vega changes have been added to the official tree now.....

and how can you go and say that we have cm7 (2.3) and then complain about the lack of nvidia support beyond 2.2 in the same post, completely contradicts itself....
[Vega General] mintvilla:
but doesnt the tegra 2 already power a bunch of honeycomb tablets already?
[Vega General] Lennyuk:
there are two types of tegra 2 boards, Harmony which the vega has supported to android 2.2 and Ventana which the xoom has, supported beyond 2.2
[Vega General] willverduzco:
Useless posts removed, OP reformatted. All caps is just annoying.

Also, thank you Lennyuk for your expertise. I actually wasn't aware of the two Tegra 2 revisions. What are the differences between Harmony and Ventana?
[Vega General] Lennyuk:
as far as I know there is not actually a great deal of differences between the two, I think the ventana board has an extra GPU slot, that might be it.
[Vega General] willverduzco:
Interesting. I wonder why that would be since these SOCs don't have modular components, with the GPU being directly integrated into the SOC itself... Weird.
[Vega General] serialkillazzs:
UPDATE 12 APRIL 2011:

Sorry folks looks like I caused a bit of confusion. Since this is a developer forum my comments

were targeted at Tegra Honeycomb developers and for this we’d like to focus on Ventana. For shipping or production products, customers should contact the device makers directly for OS support plans. They are responsible for the OS shipping on their device.

In relation to our linux kernel git repository, NVIDIA will continue to provide full open-source support for all of our kernel components and will push more of that upstream over time.

[Vega General] serialkillazzs:
UPDATE 13 APRIL 2011

A lot has been read into a very short post about a Tegra development kit. I'd like to clear up a few points.

First, nothing changes in what we’re delivering to the open source community or customers. NVIDIA will continue to post the Tegra kernel to kernel.org and publish our Android code to our public git servers. Additionally, we will continue to make our BSP (codecs, GPU driver etc) available to all our hardware partners. We will continue to do this and nothing about these processes has changed.

For our partners' Android devices, NVIDIA provides support until the hardware partner chooses to no longer support the device. So, for instance, NVIDIA will support the Xoom on all versions of Android Motorola requests until Motorola ceases to support the Xoom. The same goes for ViewSonic with the G-Tablet, Notion Ink with the Adam, Acer with the Iconia, LG with the Optimus 2X and so on.

In relation to my original reply, that was a response to a specific question about a Tegra 250 Development Kit. Given the confusion, we will work with owners of Tegra 250 Development Kits individually to determine their needs. The term "Harmony" is an internal codename for the Tegra 250 Development Kit. It is not a tablet reference design. Each shipping tablet is a custom design with varying hardware components and requires a custom OS image from the OEM who made the tablet.

Finally, while we cannot support or give out third party peripheral drivers or provide the Android 3.0 source before Google does, we do want to explore whether we can assist the open source ROM makers. We will be reaching out to them today.

Caps from original nvidia forum post.

Stop being so anal anyway
[Vega General] GaiusSensei:
Can anyone translate this for me? Are we (Advent Vega users) getting the Tegra 2 update? And is this the one for Honeycomb?

From what I can tell, Yes. Or am I reading this wrong?
[Vega General] Lennyuk:
There is no "Tegra 2" Update

You are getting confused.

Basically when the Tegra2 boards were given to manufacturers they had one of two designs

Harmony which the vega has

or Ventana which newer tablets have

These are not set in stone, they were just designs that then get built to specific needs by each manufacturer.

Nvidia are not releasing their own stock images beyond android 2.2 for Harmony however they have made it very clear that it is down to each manufacturer to do this, Nvidia will support the manufacturers for as long as they want to continue service on each device.

Advent do not yet know if the manufacturer (Shuttle) will give us a HC rom, however at least 2 other clones of the Vega have confirmed it, so it looks promising.
[Vega General] d0cz:
Point of View is supposed to deliver us a fresh HC ROM, I would be really thankful!

All I need is a rom w/o cellphone stuff, just tablet things to work always with optimizations and no slow downs.. That's why I bought a tablet with tegra... but after news like this, customers like me get pretty sad and will regret buying another device from them. Gz;
[HTC Inspire 4G] constantschange:
Hey guys.

Wanted to see if anyone could figure out a way to remove the recent apps from the notification pull down menu. It's not a huge annoyance, but it takes up a lot of space and I never use it (usually cos I forget it's there).

I searched the forum but couldn't find anything relevant to the Inspire.

Would be much appreciated :)

Also, I do understand that the various power notification mods out there give you the option to remove/add the recent apps, but I prefer the nice sense power widgets :) What can I say, I'm a sucker for sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] winsettr:
This involves modifying the Sense framework, which can only be done if rooted...
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Why prefer sense power widgets when to turn WiFi on when your in the browser for example, you have to exit to home screen, open settings, select wireless and network, etc...-then go back to what you were doing. Or just pull notification bar down where ever you are and press 1 button?

Just wondering.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Demented71:
I think he's talking about the 'recently used apps', not the toggles.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
I too support this. Cos long press on home anyways brings up the recent apps.

By the way, if u use GingerBeast by dilli, u won't have have these. And u won't have sense either.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doodle:
Just to be sure. I want to upgrade my tab to JMK/JMA/JM5 from samfirmware, which I suppose is a protected bootloader.

At present the Tab contains JMF/JMA/JM4 with a protected bootloader.

The reason I want to flash is that Kies does not recognize my current device, and that I do not like the SER CSC and want to go to the PHN CSC file.

Can I flash the new ROM over the protected old one, as the new one is protected as well, or do I need to run the bootloader patch file first, before upgrading?

Thanks for the advice

How do I back up my firmware?

Firstly, I'm assuming baseband means firmware, aka what the "phone" entry says when I type *#1234# .

Base band is i9000xxjpp, is there a downloadable stock for it? Also, where can I/ did you find it?

Fanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Even I would like to know this, as some users have done this, so there must be some app which takes the backup of fw in flashable format using odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
most stock firmwares can be found at www.samfirmware.com

or you can have a look under general for firmwares too ! its a sticky on the first page.

if you want to back up your firmware you can either download it from the above, and make a backup with TB for all yours apps n data.

or you can flash a kernel, such as voodoo, speedmod, damianGTO ............. and make a nandroid backup from the recovery menu :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moeyyyy:

I try, but i don't know what relates to my phone and what doesn't - many people just reference it and if i don't know what it is i won't usually search it as i don't think it pertains to me.

samfirmware.com - the closest to my i9000xxjpp are these - which should i choose?

thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
well JPP is android 2.2

JPU and above is 2.2.1, so if you want something that is almost identical to what you have now, i would suggest a 2.2 ROM.

not that it makes any difference, you could send your phone off for repair with a 2.2.1 ROM even if it came with 2.2 only. you just have to say you updated thru KIES if anyone asks. not that they will :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moeyyyy:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
If you flash clockworkmod recovery you can backup and restore your firmware using that. Darkyy also wrote a guide to creating an exact copy of your ROM you can flash through Odin.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960946
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
To answer the straight forward part of your question....the best tool for backing up the entire firmware, similar to taking a disc image of your PC so that is can be restored and return your device to its exact state when you took the backup is Nandroid, which is baked into Clockwork Mod and is therefore part of almost every custom SGS kernel.

Just go into Recovery mode, select Backup/Restore and opt for Backup, it will take a perfect image of your phone and save it by date and time on your internal SD. Later on you can restore it from recovery, by selecting Backup/Restore > Restore.

Next, Baseband is NOT your ROM, it is actually the Modem.

SGS firmware is made up of 4 elements...

Kernel - The interface between hardware and software, essentially the drivers and BIOS.

ROM or PDA - The operating system itself, aka the Applications layer.

Modem - Controlling the WiFi/Cellular connections.

CSC - A group of config files that set your region, carrier and APNs

Some firmware contains all of these elements, while it is also possible to flash the Kernel, Modem or CSC independently.

When you look at Settings > About on your phone it will list the following...

Firmware version: The Android version, on an SGS that is either 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 or 2.3.3

Baseband Version: The Modem

Kernel Version: The kernel

Build Number: The actual ROM
