[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
I'd love to see some sources backing this info up.

When I bought my TB I left the store with the extended battery in. The battery easily lasts me all day. After reading all the complaints about how bad the stock battery is I decided to try using it and I'm actually surprised by how long it lasts. I was expecting much worse. It's easily lasted me 8-12 hours with my normal everyday use. I'm going to stick to the stock battery from now on. I was getting annoyed by the heft and bulkiness of the extended battery. My phone feels so sleek with the stock one. :D
[Thunderbolt General] daniel178:
Yeah, I'm with the "it's just you" crowd.

Pretty bad battery life for me here in NYC (plenty of good 4G around).

Not a heavy data user (less than 20min browsing per day).

Not a lot of long calls.

Accounts update once every hour (FB, 2 email accounts).

Brightness at min.

No video playing, no music playing.

No speakerphone used.

Rooted, BAMF 1.3.2

GPS and WiFi rarely on at all.

I'm lucky, --LUCKY--, if I get like 6 hours out of a fully charged battery.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Just curious, why are you still using BAMF 1.3.2?
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
running Bamf 1.6.1 and Imoseyon Lean Kernal set at 1.4Ghz with SetCPU on Smartass, along with ATK set to kill every 30 mins(oh I know they are the devil, yet my battery life is always better with one, so no comments about how they are bad.) I also always have 4G on, and usually fluctuate between -82 to -94dB in signal strength, and wifi is never on, as my home network is strained enough as it is. GPS is always off unless I need it.

I also use WPClock Live Wallpaper at the same time.

Yesterday I was at 18% with 2 days since last plugged in.

Of course I also calibrated my battery, after flashing Bamf 1.6.1.

I use my phone alot for facebook, angry birds, browsing the web and a crap ton of texting, I probably hit near 1000 text a month, I know that isn't what the high school brats are pulling, but still, for me, that is insane.

On my Evo 4G, with 4G off, I could hit 3 days running CM7 underclocked to 750Mhz max. That was with a bigger battery as well.

I am very exited for CM7 to go into a beta, or nightly stage, and the kinks worked out, as I am sure with 4G on I can hit near 3 days with the Thunderbolt as well.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Update your sig, brah. Still says your running Tesla Coil. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] Impys:
Overall battery life is a lot better than my cm7 Incredible, and on mostly standby it lasted quite awhile before I had to charge it (I couldn't use it for a few days because vzw wonked up on activating my TB somehow), so it lasted almost 3 days with only occasional data use/seeing if the phone was working (I couldn't send texts or make/receive calls, but my data was working)

I know, I am a lazy ass, haha.

Thunderbolt battery life

I am beginning to wonder if something changed in the network used by the Thunderbolt that somehow addressed battery life indirectly. When I first got mine back on 3/31, battery life was abysmal. However, post 4G network outages, I've noticed a curious apparent side-effect, and that's that it seems that my Thunderbolt has the potential to last easily as long as my Incredible used to. Yes, I'm rooted, but other than the root and removing bloat, I'm stock rom / stock kernel but use SetCPU with a screen off profile to minimum speed for both min and max. My usage throughout the day is very minimal; I use it at work only when absolutely necessary, but otherwise it sits as a passive device. I am not willing to attribute it to SetCPU, as that initially did not have the desired affect. I've also noticed that where I use to have Display at times indicate it was responsible for 60 to 70 percent usage when the screen was off, that no longer happens. I did disable and remove the services responsible for Blockbuster, so that may be it, but if Verizon did something on their network such that the Thunderbolt no longer has to hunt for 4G signal, then that may account for it. It's nothing I can put my finger on, just a feeling I have. Anyone with more insight is welcome to prove me wrong ... :)

has anyone found a good wireless printing app for the G-tab? I want to print web pages and documents from the G-tab to my wireless printer
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
printbot works, but can only print PDFs and photos. I suppose you COULD take screenshots of web pages and print the images...

That's the only printing app I've tried.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webman418:
I am using PrintBot. Got the free version on the Market. Has a great selection of printers and was pretty straight forward to setup and use. I would definetely recommend.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bit Banger:
Hi, I purchased printershare from the market. It works well with my wireless HP printer and I haven't had any problems with it on Vegan 5.1 Froyo. They offer a free trial that simply sends a test page to your printer to test compatibility. If the test page prints successfully then you purchase a "key" that unlocks the software program. :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
I've been using Printershare for a while now on both my Droid and Gtablet.

It works great as I can print to my wired printer (connected to my always on PC, running a Printershare service) and to my wireless printer (while at home on the same network).

Prints gmail, pictures, web, docs, contacts, SMS, call log, etc......pretty much everything.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagar:
I agree that Printershare is the best right now. You can print to Wifi printers, BT printers, remote printers connected to PC running their software, and now Google cloud printers you have registered. Works great for me. I can print from anywhere to any of my office printers.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
Have you tried Google Cloud Print? There is an Android app, Cloud Print Beta. It apparently works with some wireless printers, like HP printers. I have a Linux file server, so I run it on that. I am then able to print to my CUPS printers.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/31/hp-enables-google-cloud-print-on-eprint-printers-right-out-of-th/

And it is free!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darnelld:
I looked at the google cloud, but it is mainly for HP and I have a canon. I was able to get a test print to work with PrinterShare, so I may just have to plop down some cash for the app.

Thanks everyone
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
Cloud Print will work if you print through an existing computer. I know this isn't the same as printing directly to the printer, but you may already have a computer on when you print, most of the time.

Google Cloud Print is still evolving. In time it may support your wireless printer.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaz:
I've been using DropBox and some scripts to connect to a wired printer. Sounds like Cloud Print will do something similar... will need to check it out...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
I installed Cortado Workplace to try it out, but every time I try to log in I get "An error occurred while setting up connection." And you can't use it without logging in first. I've tried it on two different wireless networks and got the same error on both. I also tried installing it on my EVO to see if I would get the same error, but it worked fine there.

I am running bionix v 1.3.1 OC with KB5 modem. My battery is up to 116*F. I have it charging and am using mobile AP. I have tried searching the forums for the temperature that I should stop using the phone but I have found nothing. Could I get some insite on what are dangerous temps for my vibrant? With the normal use my battery is usually between 98-114.8*F. It don't really go above that unless I am using mobile AP.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksandz93:
i'm not sure but one morning i woke up and my phone had a notification saying it would not charge because the phone temperature is too high and jesus it was so hot it actually hurt! had to take the battery out and let it cool. Running trigger 2.9.4
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnk61209:
When I had it plugged into my laptop and had SetCPU set to ONdemand and running mobileAP my battery was at 116.9*F and climbing. I plugged it up into the wall charger abut 15mins or so ago, changed SetCPU to conservative, and still running mobileAP and my battery temps has dropped down to 105.3*F. I'm thinking it is because I had it charging through my laptop. That and I had it set to ONdemand instead of conservative.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tdogg0406:
I wanted to try to run CM7 off SD card, while not changing anything with my regular boot, which is rooted stock 1.1.0.

I have followed verygreen's thread on using the size agnostic installer, and 2 different SD cards. The behavior is different on each.

on the 8 g class 6, it just boots directly to emmc, not even going to the sd card.

on the 4 g class 2, it won't boot with the sd card in. I can hold the power button till i'm blue in the face, and it won't boot.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I suspect you never got the image written properly to the card in the first place.

Someone from mobileread.com made a decent tutorial with vids, which will come up if you google "anamardoll nook cm7" (new users cannot post outside links :S ) I skipped down to "what you will need" and also skipped the first vid.

Her steps are based on verygreen and quinxy (who based his steps on vergreen).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tdogg0406:
Helped in 2 minutes. Rather than "restore virtual hard disk image" i just used the regular write image. I ended up with the same files on the sd card, but I suspect the two methods are subtly different. Thanks for pointing me to the vids.

On another note, maybe you can help me with a question. The data "apps downloaded, etc, all gets written to the SD card, right, not the internal memory? So I can have two separate enviroments, (mine on the sd card running CM7) and my wifes running rooted Nookie? With all of our data stored separately, mine on the sd, hers on the internal memory. Sound right?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tdogg0406:
Now I can't install Gapps! Stuck again.

Ok, not sure why I'm having so much trouble. I got the CM7 to boot, runs fine, now I'm trying to install Gapps. I downloaded the latest Gapps for Cm7, installed the zip to the SD card, booted to recovery.

It goes through all the text, then at the end looks for the gapps installer, says "installer not found" and deletes the file.

any suggestions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robot8:
Yep, two completely separate "environments" as you call it, pull out your SD card and she has a regular Nook. All your pr0n is safe :p

OK, as you have already CM7 installed fine, make sure you set up your wi-fi before installing gapps.

Now make sure you got the right gapps for the CM7/Nook from here:

http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip

Make sure you verify hash so that you don't have a corrupted download:

29efd1cc5457849b10d4f0dc31f7f04c

When you say "booted to recovery", how did you do it? For verygreen's installer, you need to do the two fingered salute by holding N button and power button together for approx 6 seconds.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tdogg0406:
Yes, Safe indeed!

I realized my "stupid" mistake! Evergreen's guide sends a link to the "Gapps" zip to install. When I clicked on the link, I blindly saved it, and kept trying to install it. After starting over from scratch, I realized Evergreen's link to Gapps is just another link to CM7 (hence the reason I was getting the "Gapps installer not found" message....foread slap now!)

I googled it about a half hour and got evrything working just fine!

Thanks for the link! and the help!

Hi all,

I am using 2.22.27.08, wondering what would be the difference between 2.22.27.08/2.22.28.25, and if should go to 2.22.28.25.

Would it crash my current setup?

Heeter
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landoftheeskimos:
Supposedly better reception in general and connects to towers faster in low signal area situations. I'm not sure what else for differences.

As far as "Crashing your setup" ... no they are interchangeable and most newer Rom's can use either as such. Although if your current setup works good and you don't have signal issues you really don't need to change.

Some say it eats the battery faster... Could be, but I use background data sync for 2 gmail accounts and sip calling with a 2300 mAh battery charging once a day so I don't really notice it much.

Greetings All,

Haven't viewed this forum in a long time last time I was here I was running both the o2XDA2 & 2i.:p

Well folks I really need some help and advice here, on unlocking my desire HD which is currently locked to the 3 mobile network in the UK.:mad:

I am new to the Android platform as a whole, having been operating iOS for the last 2 years.

Some of the things I have been reading and watching on YouTube etc have brought me no further forward in my quest.

Since having my desire I have rooted the device, and attempted to run other SIM in said device to no avail.:eek:

Now I know I will get the answer eventually and when I do I will share with the community (without breaking forum rules) however I am not willing (nor see why I should have to) pay for unlocking a mobile phone as new from a retailer that I believed at the time to be SIM free, only to discover that i need an unlock code upon inserting other network SIM cards.

ATM I am trying to gather as much info as I can to unlock this device in order to use it with various networks except 3....

Can anyone here help me?

I have read posts such as seempi http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943726

[General Questions and Answers] Bvizzle:
I'v jailbroken itouches several times flawlessly so the concept of rooting is not new to me. I understand what has to be done and what it does for the device, positively anyway. I'v had the G2x for about 2 weeks now and i'm thinking about rooting it, but i don't want to do it without knowing all of the cons. I know i would be voiding my warranty, and that i might not get direct updates from my service provider anymore. I'v also read a lot about people rooting it without error, but for some reason after rooting the phone crashes. i took the risk of jailbreaking my itouch because i had it for 2 years already when i decided to jailbreak it, and because it's basically still just an mp3 player. This time it would be a phone which is more important to me. im also aware that gingerbread is coming out soon, so if someone could explain to me what the negatives are or at least point me in the right direction if this thread is already answered i would appreciate it.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
With my phone, unrooting is easy if you know what you're doing, so I don't worry about the warranty part. The usual horror stories about rooted phones are usually due to user error. If you don't know what you're doing and don't fully read the instructions, you can end up doing some damage that is either difficult or impossible to fix. I think some people root their phones just for wireless tether, ad blocking, screenshots, or some "root only" app they see in the market. Then they decide they want to change their status bar icons or something and flash something that was not made for their phone or the stock rom... or whatever the situation may be.

My point is, if you know what you're doing you'll be fine. You should be able to go back to stock, unrooted - I'm not familiar with your phone, so I'm speaking in generalities. There are already Gingerbread roms out for many devices that haven't received official updates yet, even for phones that will never receive an official 2.3 update.

The only downside of rooting that I can think of is that you won't be able to put your phone down. Ultimately the choice is yours. If you don't want to put the time into learning, don't do it. It's a ton of fun though, I couldn't imagine not being rooted... there's so much more available for rooted phones.

http://www.gsmarena.com/big_us_carriers_are_blocking_android_tethering_apps-news-2600.php

Android owners in the US won’t be happy about this – carriers have started blocking the apps that enable tethering on their phones. It’s a service they charge $15-$20 a month after all, you can’t expect them to let you have it for free.

Reports from all over the Internet are coming in saying that AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are all blocking the tethering apps from the Market (both free and paid ones). Sprint seems to be the one operator that hasn’t blocked the tethering apps.

People who live outside the US might be scratching their heads wondering why you’d need an app to do what the OS can do on its own – well, US carriers usually disable that functionality, until you pay of course. AT&T goes as far as locking out the option to install third-party apps from sources other than the Market.

Finding the apps from other sources is much harder that way. And even if you manage to install those, you might get an email from the carrier – AT&T for one, has been sending out messages to those who use tethering without paying for it first.

It's the very reason why the latest 3.0 version of the popular tethering application PDA Net now features cloaking to mask the tethering activity from your carrier.

If you’re in the US, drop us a comment to say if tethering apps have been blocked for you.
