This ist a very good information and now I have the same cable as you working perfectly for me! In the first place I ordered the cable in the believe it would fit anyways but after receiving it yesterday I had to face the fact that there is an A and B standard of the micro usb plug. Your tip has saved me money, thanks for that!
[Xoom Accessories] alias_neo:
No problem. I have this and the cable from my OP now working too. I opened it up and found the ID pin was not connected so I soldered it to ground and that works now. SO I have a direct cable for my HDD and a female USB (the filed Ca-157) for other stuff.

I guess mail is slow coming from China :mad:

Wish I had read this before ordering 2 from the same guy. Could have just bought the adapter from amazon that someone linked earlier for $0.25 a piece....
[Xoom Accessories] crxtasi:
Just want to update on my that shipping on from china didn't take that long. Ordered on may 13 and it arrived today may 23 and both cables (micro to mini and micro to female A) works! $8 well spent! :D

Hi!

I have tested several versions of androids and all of them has pros and contras.

The only one who functions ok for me is LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM from cotulla. But it has no root access.

Can any one help how to get root access?

thanks,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Search zroot. Or some other root app.

Coredroid v6.3 very pretty well laid out etc

How do I turn off vibrate on the keyboard everywhere there is keyboard it vibrates.

Already done settings sounds vibrate and haptic off

Can be turned off that way in cyanogen.

Vibrate really sucks battery.. :P
[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
i dont know if i understood you, but you want to turn the keyboard vibrating off?

settings>Language & Keyboard>Touch Input>Text Input>Vibrate When Typing (uncheck for off)

(this is with stock-rom 2.3 but it should be the same)
[Desire HD General] quatzar:
Brilliant! Thanks didn't see it there :)

Hi guys, You helped me alot last time so i have came back here for some more help :P I still have the first NAND version on my HD2 and now it keeps loosing signal etc etc. It has been few months since the release so i think of upgrading it to a better NAND. Which one is the most stable with sense ? Also short booting time would be good. Ahh and i would like to upgrade radio aswell. I live in poland if that has anything to do with it :)

Thank You guys!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kankam:
Hi there, your question is difficult to answer because peoples' tastes and experiences differ with the builds. What may be fine for someone may not be ideal for you. However, try Sergio's CoreDroid. That is what I use and like many others, I find it most stable and reliable out of the lot I have tried. What radio are you currently on?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] viperek027:
Thanks alot! My current radio: 15.4250.11U_2.15.50.14
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

You seem to have the latest radio installed...

Before you go switching to a new ROM,make sure you backup your stuff,either with a NAND backup in CWM ,or something like TitaniumBackup app.

Then check here:

[Nexus S General] bryant_16:
Hey guys,

I'm planning to get a Nexus S (SLCD) version and I would like to enquire on the battery life of it.

My daily usage will be lots of whatsapp, google talk, sms and some surfing. I wonder if I can get through a day with this usage using stock rom.

Thanks and looking forward for your response.
[Nexus S General] Deleted member 2158596:
I get two days worth of battery without problem! And yes, I have the SC-LCD (i9023) version. I also have Facebook, Twitter and Google all syncing quite often! I love the battery on this thing, esp. when you compare it to my previous Desire HD :)
[Nexus S General] bryant_16:
Cool.. did you enable background sync all the time?
[Nexus S General] echoes.:
I am currently waiting to receive the SLCD as well, and my usage would be similar to yours. I will tell you in less than a week!
[Nexus S General] ikuikuiku:
You can use all the apps you mentioned plus have background sync enabled providing that you switch from 3g to 2g.

I use:

Exchange mail push

Gmail push

WhatsApp

Gtalk

Phone quite a lot

When the data is on 2g (or 2g/wifi) I can easily get at least 18 hours.

3g won't let you last the whole day.
[Nexus S General] bryant_16:
Thanks dude. Will be looking forward to your review!
[Nexus S General] bryant_16:
I see. I plan to leave my 3G on throughout the day. From your experience and with this kind of usage, 3G on, can last how many hours?
[Nexus S General] emdzej:
i9023 here, using:

- wifi always on (in range for approx 16h per day)

- autosync on

- gtalk on

- exchange push

Got one day, but it appeared that Launcher Pro was the battery drain cause, switched back to Zeam launcher, and have two days without problem.

Not talking much, but using email/web intensively.
[Nexus S General] bryant_16:
If you are on 3G instead of wifi, what would the results be like?
[Nexus S General] ikuikuiku:
The results would be bad :-)

I think I could get close to 12 hours. Which is not necessarily bad. However I don't like to live on the edge when it comes to battery - you never know when you will need it...

So I highly recommend you use 2g/wifi if you can. It won't hurt emails or WhatsApp, only web surfing speed would be annoying.
[Nexus S General] bryant_16:
I see. If 3G can last me around 12 hours, I would be very happy already. Guess each person's ideal battery life is different.
[Nexus S General] anf1974:
I am now getting 3 days with my I9023. The upgrade to 2.3.4 really improved the battery life.

This is with wifi, 3G, a few calls, sms, browsing and about 1.5hrs of music per day!
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
They really need to get the 2G toggle working. Also, the Nexus S seems to take a while to switch where the connection dies in the middle for a solid 10 seconds or so before it picks the 2G/3G switch up?
[Nexus S General] bryant_16:
I see. Is the toggling a problem for all the nexus s users?
[Nexus S General] ikuikuiku:
When switching from 2g to 3g or the other way around, the connecting always breaks for a few seconds.

This is how it works on all phones usually and I don't think this is a problem.
[Nexus S General] ikuikuiku:
Toggling is not at all a problems. There are free apps on the market to help you do it quickly or you can go the "long" way which takes 2 seconds and do it via the settings.

Anyway, it is not at all necessary to toggle between 2g and 3g all the time. You should live with one or the other and just switch if/when needed.

I live with 2g/wifi quite well and find I have to switch to 3g perhaps once a month, if that.
[Nexus S General] TubeShaped:
The battery life of the i9023 just rocks. I*don't know if it's better than i9020, but my SGS with AMOLED drained much quicker. I get 3 days of battery with airplane mode over night.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Coming from the Epic, the battery life on this is amazing. The Epic ate batteries for lunch (comparatively speaking) even on the best ROM. It wasn't completely uncommon on the Epic to be able to discharge the battery while charging during heavy use.
[Nexus S General] K-SHOX:
I can't complain about the battery life on this phone compared to other Android devices.

I get about 30 hours till it dies completely and that's with 20 hours on 2g + wifi, 10 hours on 3g, 90 mins of calls, 30 mins of music, 20 mins of games, 20 mins of streaming TV (Big Bang Theory :p), about 4 hours of total screen time, 60 or so sent and received texts, 10-15 mins of web browsing, 1 email account, twitter and Facebook updating hourly.
[Nexus S General] mr.jcarter:
For new NS 4G owners, or for any new smartphone owner, battery life will increase over time once you stop tinkinering with stuff. I've spent the first few days with the screen on nearly all day, customizing my homescreen to my liking, resulting in only around 6 hrs of life. Last night I hit 17 hrs, mostly on 3g, with 20% left before plugging it in.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Is 39/40 degrees celsius normal idle charging temperature for this phone? Seems rather high just sitting on the desk. My Epic used to get this warm only after you held it and used it heavily while charging.

Any overheating issues with using gps and streaming music for long durations while charging in lesser ideal places? Like mounted in the window of the car?
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
It's more than a few seconds. Like 10 seconds or something. You should see it done on some other Android phones. The icon switches immediately. Maybe that's just a gimmick.

Data connection is actually lost on the Nexus S and takes a solid 5-10 seconds to pick up. My friend on his Nexus One complains about the same thing. However no such thing happens on my Motorola Milestone. The minute I swipe my unlock, I see the Edge icon for maybe HALF a second at most and then by then it's back to H and I can use 3G IMMEDIATELY.
[Nexus S General] ikuikuiku:
Well I know from experience it is the same on Nokia phones (Symbian) - takes something like 10-15 seconds. I don't think it's an issue though :-)
[Nexus S General] bryant_16:
I see.. as long as the phone is able to toggle between 3g and 2g in around 10s or so, it is acceptable. Unless it's more than that, then that would be an issue already. Looks like the battery life of this phone is great and I'm thinking to get this or samsung s2, being battery life to me is an area of concern when choosing a android smartphone.
[Nexus S General] echoes.:
ok had the phone for 3 days, here are a few early considerations.

- Battery life seems great: yesterday I unplugged it at 7 am, checked news over wifi, played games 30 minutes on the train, played with it at university (I kept trying to connect it over wifi, signal was too weak though, and showed it to my friends all time. The class was boring and I already knew those things so I had plenty of time :D), played again on the train 30 minutes, back home I used it a lot during day installing and testing apps. I plugged it in at 5 pm with 40% left but considering the very intense use I think it's a lot. Screen brightness costant at 35% or such, 40 texts sent and two 2-minutes calls, no 3G as I don't have a contract yet but on wifi full time.

- I'm sorry I didn't write down screen on time and detailed battery info, I will do soon though!

A couple of things I'd like to say as well:

- Phone feels great, fast all time without slowdowns/crashes. Phone call quality is good, I'm coming from a Nokia on which it was great and didn't notice anything

- SLCD screen is awesome, sharp and great color representation. I don't feel like I should have gone with SAMOLED. Blacks don't suck at all, they are just a little brighter but not wrong. I've compared it to an iPhone 4 and its pixel density is not needed IMHO.

Overall very very satisfied, and also all my friends liked it a lot.
[Nexus S General] draugaz:
I just did conduct an "highly scientific" experiment: took a brand new i9023 (no 3rd party software, completely clean as it comes from samsung), disabled data connections, enabled 3G and put in to the drawer.

Battery draw seems to be around 11% in 24hours. So it looks like the phone would survive for about 8 days if just sitting there and doing nothing. This just to get the impression how "expensive" in battery terms all those data services are.

Then I upgraded it to the latest firmware (2.3.4), charged up and put into the drawer agains. Will see on monday if the results are any different.

And btw, this SLCD is just simply amazing when compared to the SAMOLED. I am very glad that samsung is constrained on samoled production :)
[Nexus S General] TG2708:
battery life for me is excellent and thats saying alot coming from a mytouch 4g and hd7
[Nexus S General] draugaz:
Just a small update if anyone interested: after update to 2.3.4 and latest radio the battery draw seems to be around 4% in 24 hours (with 3G on but data services off). Now I understand how they achieve those mythical "up to 18 days standby in 3G networks".
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
okay honestly, what'st he point of having to turn wifi on and all that to get through the day.

the idea with a phone is that it should be able to stay on the network for a day if not two and not die that fast. i leave 3g on 24/7. GPS should be on unless you're staring at Google Maps for 5 hours at a time or it takes you more than 20 seconds to do a Foursquare checkin.

The thing is iPhone users don't need to baby their phones. I hate it when they can get 2 days and not even worry, while I'm struggling halfway through the 2nd day down to sub 15% battery.

That was with my Motorola Milestone. I feel like my Nexus S is a LOT better. I know it can be even better if we got the Auto 2G/3G Toggle working properly. That would be sweet.

Sure I have wifi access at home or whatever, but to me it's kinda not worth it to me to switch around.

Also I'm curious what's your Wifi sleep policy? Do you leave it on all the time? Would that cause more drain (especially if you're out of range of Wifi)? Or do you switch off wifi when you go out of your house/office/area with consistent wifi?
[Nexus S General] DarkManX4lf:
I switched to the nexus s 4g from a HTC evo and I have to say the evo had better battery life.....but this is of course after kernel tweaks voltage tweaks and using tasker profiles. I would get about 17-18 hours of battery compared to my nexus s 4g with the same amount of usage.
[Nexus S General] draugaz:
If you refer to my little experiment, I was just trying to figure out how much power this phone is burning by itself, i.e. how long will it last if used as plain simple dumbphone.

Or to put it another way: how long can you realistically travel without a charger and what one would need to switch off to achieve that.

The rather irrelevant trigger for this "test" was my discussion with colleague, who returned his Motorola Defy only because "android itself is sooo power hungry that the phone is empty in 2 days even if doing absolutely nothing". This is what I wanted to check and somehow it goes with the title of this thread.

So I just took the i9023 I happen to have in my drawer and did this little test.

Now I know, what if am going on a short holiday and barely want to be reacheable, I can take i9023 with me with the same success as my old Nokia dumbphone.

As for a "normal use" it is an already well known fact, that NexusS will last between half a day and two days depending on particular use.

The main difference between iPhone and Android is, that:

1. Iphones have much smaller (=energy saving) screen

2. It is much more tightly controlled environment where not every app is allowed to open and indefinitely retain any connection whenever it wants.

Which combined together brings a lot, but for a significant price.

As my test shows, the problem is not the android itself, since it barely consumes anything by itself.

You don't need to. There is a little marvellous tool called "Y5 Battery" which turns WiFi on and off depending on your location and consumes almost no power by itself.
[Nexus S General] fixxxer2008:
The battery life sucks on my ns4g running 2.3.4. I hope an update will fix this.
[Nexus S General] kegacide:
after letting my new battery drain almost fully then recharge a few times my battery has been great...

im a heavy user, never turn off bluetooth, wifi, gps, i use gps and the radio in the car (without the charger to see how id do), make a lot of calls at work, lots of texts, some games (simple ones though, stupid zombies, solitaire), run some apps, twitter, markets, updating, downloading, browsing... i use it all throughout the day and my main goal is to make it through my day of 5:30 AM till i hit the sack around 10:30 pm...

with my evo i couldn't do that without an extended battery... now with the nexus i am doing it with battery life to spare, last night i put it on the charger while still in the 20s...

so for me from the Evo my battery life improved, and is basically matching the extended battery i had on the Evo with the stock nexus...
[Nexus S General] joeystyles66:
Can I ask how you're doing this? My phone dropped from a full charge to 51% between 8 AM this morning to 4 PM, with automatic screen brightness, bluetooth and wifi off, and me only doing some light texting. There has to be something I'm missing because this battery life is unnacceptable.
[Nexus S General] kegacide:
hmm, how long have you had the phone?

it took me almost a week to get to this point... at first the battery was crap, but i wouldn't charge it until it was real low, even had it die on me at one point before charging... but yesterday i noticed a significant difference... i have screen brightness at about 75% and again most everything on and doing well...

did you turn off picasa in your google sync? i did that right away but apparently thats helped some people?
[Nexus S General] kegacide:
but also what kind of signal strength do you have for your cell? what is your battery stats telling you is burning the most battery? is light texting your ONLY usage in that situation?
[Nexus S General] alexvega:
fwiw i can only get my battery to charge up to 97%... and thats if i have wireless tether enabled. otherwise it considers itself full at 95
[Nexus S General] joeystyles66:
I've had the phone for about a month now. The only thing I have enabled with google sync is calendar and email. The screen uses the bulk of the battery life, usually in the 50 to 60 percent range. Maps uses a good amount too but I'm not sure why.

I only text during that time because I'm at work, so my phone sits at my desk really. Signal strength is up and down, my office is at a bit of a dead zone
[Nexus S General] fixxxer2008:
These users are turning off mobile data. I too hate the battery on my ns4g. Its as bad as when the evo first launched. Ive let my battery run out twice and no improvement. Im wondering if my battery is defective? Either that or 2.3.4 is causing this. I may return my device friday. I miss the evo and sbc mod.
[Nexus S General] draugaz:
Do you have an amoled version? If yes, then try to use black wallpaper and reconfigure apps to use "white on black"/"night"/"dark" themes wherever possible.
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
was 2.3.3 any better?

Anyone know if 2.3.3 was any better? My phone came with 2.3.4, and the battery blows - it lasts about half as long as my Evo. (Sprint)
[Nexus S General] kegacide:
i dont turn off anything... and again after about a week my battery has been great, brand new phone, just came from Evo and it blows it out of the water...
[Nexus S General] fixxxer2008:
you must be running a stock rom then because cm7 is a battery killer on this phone.
[Nexus S General] kavyt:
Im running SupeASOP and normally get around 22-26 hours off one battery charge with moderate use. About 16 Hours with heavy (3 hours calls, 200 texts, 100 emails and web surfing)

I personally think the NS has a great battery compared to the iphone 4 and others
[Nexus S General] encinocr:
The battery of my Nexus S I9020A Android 2.3.4 is empty after 18 hours 18 minutes. :mad:

It does not run apps (only phone) and even G2. My Povider ICE (Costa Rica).

I think I have made ​​with the purchase of Nexus S a bad purchase.

My wife has a S Galaxy, and this battery lasts 5 days.

Can I reach a different software for a longer period?
[Nexus S General] snako79:
I have the GT-I9023, and I have a battery life of just over 48 hours, I make 3-4 calls a day about 15 minutes, I have provided active 3G network, and surf the Internet frequently

i agree with this.
[Nexus S General] mr.vandalay:

always on 3g, gmail sync

quite a lot of internet browsing

15~20 1min or less calls

5 sms

10 emails

i use adw ex & beautiful widgets

my battery life seems just like on my htc desire...it could definitely be better but it's ok..

i saw some posts that people get like 3 or even 5 days..i really don't know how can anyone get that, maybe you just leaving the phone in flight mode and turning the screen on 3x/day :)

[Nexus S General] Mac Boy:
Root your phone and try the various ROMs and Kernels, results vary.
[Nexus S General] mindwalkr:
Got my Nexus S i9023 2 weeks ago, stock rom, and installed Launcher Pro, K-9, Evernote and some others. I'm getting about 35 hours in the following pattern:

- 30 mins PowerAmp per day

- During my 8 hours at work, all background synchs are disabled. 3G is used for programs that don't respect the background synch (such as news widget, evernote synch, and some others)

- When I'm home, wifi all the time in never sleep policy, background synchs enabled... I should use in total about of 20 mins browsing per day.. 3 mins of SIP phone calls.. hardly any sms

If I start playing around with the phone, getting apps from the market and what not, I'm sure the phone won't get past 24 hours.

But rooting it and using SetCPU to lower the CPU when phone is sleeping could improve battery life a lot, but so far I prefer to keep my Nexus under warranty :)
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
System Panel Lite is already reporting low cpu settings in standby, dunno if it includes undervolting though, seens values as low as 150mhz.

Dunno if/how SetCPU can influence it further.
[Nexus S General] hitman618:
i dont know what that guy is talkin bout... but the nexus 4g battery blows the evos away the battery life is not even close to the same. The nexus will get you through the day the evo will be lucky to get you through 4 hours on stock builds
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
It blows the Epic away as well as much as I use and flash I get a full day out of my nexus lucky to get 8 hours out the epic.
[Nexus S General] NYYFan325:
Its funny I don't find much of a difference between the ns4g and the epic battery wise... maybe 5% over a 9 hour work day. I would take the phone off the charger around 9:30and after getting out @ 7pm my ns4g is around 60-70% depending on day and my epic would be between 50-60% depending on the rom/kernel I was on.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
I was taking stock I only deodex my phone. With roms it definitely improved .
[Nexus S General] NYYFan325:
Oh then hell yes. Stock rom vs stock rom the ns4g ****s on the epic battery wise lol
