[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
Yes you will get much better battery life as the constant trying to locate best signal in WCDMA preferred mode is a big battery drain. Downside is you reduce data speeds.

I wasn't sure if your surprise was genuine or in mock obviousness so have tried to word this carefully.

Sent from my Ericsson T39m
[Desire HD General] JSLEnterprises:
the reason while in gsm mode you had a longer lasting battery is because 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) Takes a lot less power than umts/hspa/hspa+ to function; this is regardless of what device from whichever vendor/manufacturer you're using.

if you're still having issues, use the fast wipe rom to completely wipe your phone, then run the RUU (root it with gingerbreak)
[Desire HD General] T-Loop:
It was genuine cos I didn't have same amount of battery drain with Froyo. I always use it in Auto-mode, and with Gingerbread it's awful. I should have mention this in my post, sorry. But the point is, the signal levels went crazy and battery went down. Froyo was almost perfect what comes to this. My battery last 9 hours yesterday, where Froyo 1½ days.

Maybe I should navigate myself to the dev-section and see other solutions.
[Desire HD General] mrhahn98:
For some alien reason after upgrading to 2.3.3 , my battery is doubled, if not tripled. Maybe im just lucky that the new radio comes with the update is more suitable with my carrier in my country. I'm now on 3G, autosync , 23 hours after charge and still at 53% , medium use with calling, sms , taking photos and capturing some videos. Before the update my battery dies after like 5-6 hours with 3G and auto sync on. I'm a happy man right now :D
[Desire HD General] jackalac:
Ehi guys do you made a factory reset after ota?

I cant see better battery life after two days....
[Desire HD General] T-Loop:
Update to my issue. Seems that hard reset did the magic. I now have 81% of battery, took this off the charger 9 oclock this morning. It's still on Auto-mode like it should be. Maybe it was a cell tower fault or a battery calibration problem.

i forced my phone to stay only in wcdma mode and disabled always on mobile data. i wonder if it helps.will see. i wonder what will change if i do a hard reset.i dont think this is an option.
[Desire HD General] joriq:
also having problems after the update: the situation is this - if I keep wifi on and do not touch the phone, after ~8 hours (during night) I have only 66% battery left and battery use stats says that "Dialer" ate most of the battery. Did not notice this before in batt stats :confused:
[Desire HD General] jackalac:
I did a factory reset on my dhd after ota and also format the sd card, because i had always "Telephone" (dialer) voice on battery stats with high % of usage.

Btw, when my dhd was inactive on desk for 5 6 hours, with froyo 2.2.1 (1.72) the voices in battery stats were phone inactive, standy by ecc ecc, now before the format, the first voice was always "Telephone".

Now i wait for next recharge.

Just follow the instructions in my post. If you have questions contact me.
[Desire HD General] milanbarta:
2G slow

I had the same problem until I recently switched to 2G only and I can confirm the battery drain improved a lot. The only disadvantage of this is the fact that 2G mobile data is sooo slow compared to 3G. One has to decide what's more important for them - either longer time on battery or fast data.
[Desire HD General] joriq:
get the 2g/3g widget or something then :)

my battery consumption increased after I got rid of some iffy apps, it was probably caused by WiFi Manager or SeePU. Anyway, I'm still wondering about dialer battery drainage, what does this Dialer process do exactly? It eats up 25-35% of battery on my phone...
[Desire HD General] jackalac:
I opened this thread, thinking that the problem of "dialer" drainage battery was because rom 2.3.3 have this new radio.

The problem isnt the radio but only "dialer" bug and we are trying to know a possible solution.

[Fascinate General] skynet11:
The outrageous price of the Droid Charge ($299 for those of you who haven't been following) will likely extend the life of the Fascinate (in terms of developer and user support), IMHO. Those who haven't either added the Thunderbolt to their arsenal (Adrynalyne, ThatDudeButch, etc.) or jumped ship altogether will likely find the price point for the Droid Charge to be rather prohibitive (again, just my opinion). Is 4G a must-have? The Thunderbolt is $50 cheaper on a 2-year contract. Don’t want to give up your Super AMOLED screen? I recommend waiting for the Galaxy S II (There WILL eventually be a CDMA version for Verizon).

Here's a quick comparison: With the Galaxy S II, you...

...Get the same screen upgrades as the Charge (Super AMOLED Plus, 4.3 inches)

...Add another cpu core, bump both cores up to 1.2 GHz

...Nearly triple your RAM (328MB for the Charge, 1024MB for the S II)

...Upgrade your software to Gingerbread (the Charge comes with Froyo out of the box)

... Last, but not least, upgrade to TouchWiz 4.0 (the Charge has 3.0 - I'm sure you're all here on XDA because you LOVE stock TouchWiz ;)).

Meanwhile, just enjoy your Fascinate (you probably have to wait a few months before you're upgrade eligible, anyway - the S II will probably be out by then).

Anyone have a different opinion? Does anyone feel compelled to get your Charge on now? (you still have to wait as of May 6 thanks to Verizon's LTE problems pushing back the Charge's release date - sound familiar, Thunderbolt owners?) Do tell...

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] mkzbdroid:
Getting the charge

well I would agree the charge is hardly an upgrade and I normally would wait untill the galaxy S II comes out BUT as someone who works directly on the sales floor with verizon, I can see the 4g data being either tiered or capped soon(MY PERSONAL OPINION). so to answer your question yes I will happily pay 300 bucks for my droid charge just to ensure I will be able to keep my unlimited plan while on 4g as well and then upgrade to galaxy s II when it comes....just my two cents
[Fascinate General] Pfredd:
Fascinates are free at Best Buy on Fridays & Saturdays (with a 2 year contact, of course...)

Sent from my Samsung Fascinate
[Fascinate General] s44:
You'd be a fool to pay $50 less for a Thunderbolt. $100+ maybe. $50 about covers the spare battery you'll need to carry around all the time if you ever use LTE.

The anti-Charge FUD in this group is pretty sad and fear-driven. You have it totally backwards: the continuing release of Charge ROMs by Samsung guarantees a probably-backportable source of Android updates for the Fascinate. Embrace the Charge.

[Fascinate General] rushfanx1:
I really have a dilemma...

I cracked the screen on my fascinate last month... It still works perfectly, but I hate looking at the spiderweb on my screen.

I can put an insurance claim in and for $100 get a new Fascinate... or

Im due for an upgrade... So, I can simply get a free Fascinate now, but that locks me in for 2 years... or

stick with the current (Broken Fascinate) for a few months.

By then, Im hoping there will be other 4G phones to choose from and they wont have capped the plan by then.

Decisions. Decisions.:confused:
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
This is kind of a silly poll, as it leaves out some major releases. The Charge and the Thunderbolt are not the only new Spring phones for Verizon. The Droid X2, the Xperia Play, and the LG Revolution will all be out by the end this month.
[Fascinate General] xHoLyx:
I will wait another year for Quad Core phone :D :D :D
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
It doesn't matter what any of these prices are.

If you wait, you'll find a free deal.

This is why I won't upgraded until the holidays.

(this is how I got two fascinates for myself and my wife, Best Buy's free phone friday's last october)
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
I'd do the other option you didn't name, just fix the one you got. Changing the screen out isn't that hard and will run you less than a new phone. Ebay has the parts as do other sites.

[Fascinate General] bmeek:
I bet you could get a "factory refurb" Fascinate for less. Last I saw it was on vzw.com for $39 (with contract, but I can't believe you wouldn't be able to work out a deal on this angle).
[Fascinate General] rushfanx1:
I thought about that, but I think its more than just the glass cracking... I actually had done some research and when I saw that I would need a heat gun, i said forget it

I just put my claim in with Assurion. For $100, i get a brand new phone... Being that I got the original for free from Best buy back in Oct, the $100 isnt bad... And, I still have my upgrade.. So, in 3 or 4 months, I'll upgrade to the best 4G phone and give the fascinate to my wife or kid.
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
The LG Revolution will be out soon... granted, it doesn't have AMOLED, but it will have 4G

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
The LG Revolution 4G phone is expected to be released May 12, according to www.phonearena.com. I don’t know what Verizon will charge for it, though. If it's $200, it may be worth giving up the AMOLED screen (personally, the AMOLED screen is a must-have for me).

By the way, the Charge is $50 cheaper at Wirefly on contract (if you aren't upgrade eligible and you're looking at paying the unsubsidized price, go to Verizon directly - Wirefly charges $100 extra for off-contract) :)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
True, but we don’t know how bad the battery might be on the Charge (it might be called the Droid Recharge if you have to charge it too often ;))

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] s44:
Check the Engadget review (and others). Battery life is actually good, even on LTE.

If the Revolution really does come out in a week, and Verizon doesn't kill unlimited by then, it may be a good choice. Thunderbolt isn't unless it's at a big discount.
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Yeah... a good choice depending on how much they charge for it... the Revolution got a pretty good review at Phone Arena. It may be the split-the-difference choice - hopefully cheaper than the Charge, longer battery life than the Thunderbolt.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThrashWolf:
So, to fill you all in on my situation. I've had quite a few Android devices, and am experienced with the platform. After having some money trouble, I sold my latest (Dell Streak) and have gone back to a G1. I picked up a G1 on the cheap thanks to the touchscreen no longer working. The only issue is that initial set-up requires you to 'touch' the android. After a lot of fiddling and playing with ADB, I got the latest Cyanogen and custom recovery installed.

However, because I'm unable to perform initial setup on my phone, it's prone to some weird errors (including the contacts app crashing, and the home button not working).

After having done some research, it would seem a nandroid backup from a different G1 would work on my one, so what I would like to ask, is if someone could backup their phone via nandroid, wipe it, sign into my google account during setup (I'd PM you my login details), nandroid again, apply the first nandroid backup (so their phone is back to normal) and send me 'my' backup? I know it's quite a bit to ask, but as I don't know anyone with a G1 I thought I'd at least ask on here. Thanks for your time guys

Im wondering if my rooted phone will update correctly, Im still rooted on 2.3.2 stock rom, now my issue is that when i rooted the phone i didnt rename the recovery img or whatever it is your suppose to do... I never lost root, i just couldn't boot into recovery.( it was my first time rooting and im surprised it didn't brick in the first place so i didn't wanna go back in and F it up anymore)

now i know if i let the update install i will loose the root, i'm not really worried about that I just want to know if it will install correctly? and also if it does will my phone basically be like a new nexus s out of the box? like will i loose all my data,pics, music all that good stuff??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmizz79:
Just update it manually..and no u won't lose anything..!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaX05:
If you do the OTA, you will lose root. Do it manually.

I mean seriously, you've managed to root your phone. The idea of puttiing the 2 files in your sd card (the 2.3.4 update zip file and the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file) shouldn't sound too hard to do.

After flashing the update via clockwork recovery...

(Note: if you try and install it via Rom Manager it will reboot by itself after installing the update. Therefore, losing root. So I suggest doing it manually: powering down and going into recovery mode.)

Instead of pressing on reboot you would then go and flashing the other file (su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip) that's already in there.

Once that's done you can reboot.

(This maintain permanent root.)

Download and install Root Explorer app from Android Market

Open Root Explorer and navigate to etc directory

Tap on the gray box that says Mount R/W

Tap and hold on the file install-recovery.sh and rename this file to install-recovery.sh.old

Once renamed, download and install the app called ROM Manager from Android Market

Once installed, open ROM Manager app and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option.

Now you have 2.3.4 and permanent root. :) Don't make it harder than what it seems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soggyflakes:
