[Defy General] Behemia:
The .sbf you flashed (for the kernel) is apparently a big factor in batterylife, which did you use under cm7 ?

Which version of cm7 are you running?

Also are you using setvsel?

My settings are 300/23, 600/33, 800/43, and i have gotten almost 5 days battery use on a single charge, with

-texting for atleast 48hr time, intervals of short(10min) periods as you would expect

-maybe 20 mins phoning

-wifi on for half the time when i forget it overnight etc(my profile disables wifi on screen off however-good for light, but battery drain if you lock phone a lot)

-Get the following: OSmonitor, Battery monitor widget.

These help to track what apps eat battery, and kill processes with minimal(1%) drain, that if you arent using then you may aswell take all the battery back that you can :)

What are your display settings? eg auto brightness, renderfx etc

Thanks
[Defy General] lionheartpl:
software

I'm using the latest CM7 by quarx 5.1 and for base i'm currently using 3.4.2-177 nordic Blurless.

I wasn't currently using any undervolting settings to make a baseline screening of the phone with CM7 but i'll try yours and install the apps you've mentioned.

i'm using auto-brightness because of the bugs involved in disabling them in CM7 5.1. And haven't messed with renderfx so far.
[Defy General] Behemia:
Ok firstly i have only tested on 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 so these suggestions are very likely to work but if certain settings are different in 5.1 then they may negatively affect you- just a thought :)

Undervolting is actually incredible on cm7 and works a charm, its still super responsive and load times are still less than that of any 2.2 i have tested WITH overclock :D

Start on about 300/600/800, 30/45/50 and go down marginally-different phones may have different yields to this due to apps running, previous cpu stress etc

(Remember to untick 'start on boot')

Also, the medical database you mentioned- does it contain any 3d renders etc?

This may require you to raise the voltage a little to keep it stable for anything you may to run aswell-- all the apps i have tested such as angry birds, 3d racer games work perfectly btw :)

Ok, there are extra options that allow you to further change the auto brightness inside the CMsettings under >Display>Automatic backlight

You might wish to experiment if you have time (decrease sensor check-times, lower overall brightness etc), however it likely isnt worth pursuing as the new Quarx beta shows brightness fixes in the changelog already, so just wait is my advice if you are short of time

Ooh and renderfx seemed to drain my battery more on any of the n1 settings, however it may be mix/match to get it right :)
[Defy General] lionheartpl:
Hum, I've had bad experiences with undervolting in 2.2 but I'll be sure to try it.

As far as medscape goes, it's just text, no image whatsoever it's just a big list with descriptions "acetaminophen - what does it do, how, dosages and stuff" really useful though :P

will post back when I have more info from the apps you've mentioned. So far I had used watchdog and it hasn't barked at any of my apps
[Defy General] Behemia:
As long as you take it slowly, undervolting is no problem- also try and minimize the amount of useless apps you have, since many of them run in the background by default without a way to exit them, meaning you constantly waste resources on them and thereby limit the amount of UC/V'ing you could acheive.

Ok thats cool, i was just curious as you clearly need/use that app often :)

Alrighty then, hopefully you can get some better battery life out of it -good luck :D
[Defy General] lionheartpl:

[Defy General] Jaflo:
He probably means you should use something to kill useless apps running in the background. Look for Advanced Task Killer at the market and install it so you can kill apps that are running in the background but that you're not using.
[Defy General] ziogere:
@Behemia 5 days is awesome in my experience, and you are using your device the same way I am

could you please tell us which kernel are you using (savaged Zen maybe?) and which baseband (if you changed it)?

thanks! :-)
[Defy General] zakoo2:
im using cm7 with 3.4.3-11 kernel, undervolted to 300/18-600/30-800/45, kill apps with es task manager quite a lot, 3g or wifi is constantly on, and brightness is set to medium (for some reason auto brightness doesnt relly work for me), and i still cant get one day out of it. battery calibration helped a bit though (i recommend that app to everybody having battery life issues!). is that normal?
[Defy General] lionheartpl:
Report

So, I've done some of the changes proposed. Undervolted to 300/28 600/41 800/47. Installed Battery monitor Widget, OSmonitor left the phone with 3g off and wifi off when not in use(most of the time) and right now I've got 1% of battery left. That's 1d09h30min after unplug.

Below are the times in ms from the applications that I've used according to battery monitor widgets.

facebook 518805

contacts 355178

dialer 212996

And here battery use report according to system

display 21%

phone idle 18%

stanby 17%

voice calls 15%

OS 7%

media 4%

winamp 4%

gmail 3%

facebook 2%

I'm not saying that 33h isn't good. But my use in this time has been way below my average for myself and the way below most of what I see described here. Plus I don't see any bloatware running nor I do see my apps hogging my battery. Facebook and Gmail push notifications are set to occurs over 2h apart.

Any ideas?

Also, as I finish this thread the phone finally vibrates and dies. Let's put it back to charge and look for more ideas.

thanks in advance everyone.

@lionheartpl

which kind of sim card do you own? i mean an old 64k or a brand new 128k? i upgraded mine from 64 to 128 due to a mobile operator change and my battery usage (same mod, same apps, same usage, same baseband) dropped from 2-3% hour usage to 1% in more than 1 hour. So battery usage has dropped a lot...
[Defy General] MrBelter:
Running stock UK 2.1 i could get 4 days standby if i was just texting and a few calls. with the stock UK 2.2 undervolted to 300/22 600/32 1000/52 i can get 5 days easily but i cant see the point in it cos you dare not really use it, i would rather drop down to 1 or 2 days and give it some usage.
[Defy General] johanlh:
Hello everyone,

I'm getting a very good perfomance with the barebones froyo 1.5.6, check this behavior at night:

That's like 2% loss in almost 8 hours!!!

Right now I am using the version 1.5.1 because I was told it has a better perfomance than the 1.5.6. I'll post my results in a few days.

Also, I use my Defy to be connected to windows messenger network all the time. I'm trying a strategy in order to not drain battery so much:

Even i m not getting a good battery life on CM7 RC1 V1, latest Nightly(9th Aug)

using base band switcher as i m from India

i lost around 18 to 20% every night between 12 to 8am.

over with minimum usage i can get 24 hrs thats witout any music and games, call for 30 mins

not sure what to do

some one please help
[Defy General] chem57guru:
I can get about 2 days out of a charge. I am using 300/35 700/42 1000/50 and have had no problems. I recommend using battery calibration! A trick that I have learned is to let it charge to 100% do a battery calibration and then leave it plugged in for a while (30 mins). I have my wifi on all the time and run the smartass profile in settings.

good luck!

Hey guys, I am using Trips 2.2 Miui rom and when I go to assign a custom ringotne for a contact it always stays at "default" no matter what mp3 i use. I have done this in the past but not with version 1.0.63 which I just flashed today. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

P.S.

I was able to change the default ringtone to a custom mp3 but I am only having trouble assigning it to a contact. Thanks

[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
I got an HDMI cable for my tablet, and I hooked it up to my monitor. My monitor does 1080p, but I can't seem to get the tablet to change from its native resolution.

It's alright as-is, but it looks poor, as it's all stretched(and hides the menu bar at the bottom), does anyone know how to change the res on it when HDMI is connected? I'm not too worried about losing the display on the unit, I'd just start up a movie and plug it in and watch.
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Currently we are limited to 720p output, 1080p is promised in a futute update (June I believe).
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
Ah, okay.

Is there any way to change the resolution, though? I'd like it to run at the tablets native resolution(and not chop off the menu bar) if possible. Hard to read notifications when you get an e-mail or something when it's not there.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jocelyn:
No, you'd need a 16:10 monitor to do that. Your monitor is 16:9, while your tablet is 16:10
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
I've got another screen that's 1680x1050 natively, does the same thing still.
[Acer Iconia A500] wicked_beav:
My other complaint is that video output through HDMI is quite choppy and not quite sure what the cause is. My Atrix plays video through HDMI flawlessly. Any reasons as to why that may be?
[Acer Iconia A500] chtamina:
I've got a similar issue with my 32" lg and my asus transformer, is there an app to "resize" the hdmi output ?

can't understand why but while handling hdmi connection my LG TV won't let me resize the image
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_malina:
Anyone find a solution? I just connected mine to my TV and its cutting off the edges and seems like it has a slight lag.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
hdmi out perfect

I have used the HDMI out several times to both our Sanyo and Samsung LCD TVs.they scan and auto set tobthe correct resolution.

Watching movies to there work awesome butbsuck batter dead super quick.if hounding not plug your tablet in while watching on big screen it will be jerky and unreliable. Well it is for me anyway.

If im wrong sorry.
[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:
On my 40" Bravia, I can tweak the screen so that everything is visible. I haven't noticed any choppiness playing 720p... Haven't attempted anything 1080p yet. I'm using the Lightspeed rom with Richard's kernel, and I use Aimersoft Video Converter for my video files. Aimersoft has an Acer A500 profile that makes videos play flawlessly.
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_malina:
Can you see the menu bar at the bottom?
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
The menu bar is hidden from the TV screen always.
[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:
Yeah I can't see the menu bar, but I'm using the Xoom bluetooth keyboard which has the back, home and menu keys on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Guys the hdmi output is 1080p....(if you are on 4.010.40 or some simillar build..)....if you play a 1080p video...the resolution automatically changes from 720p to 1080p...
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_malina:
Is there hotkeys for various functions? I discovered escape is back. I am using a standard keyboard.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
tried on a TV 40", hd ready

I noticed that the output was centered and cropped....

weird...
[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:
I'm not sure about the shortcuts on a standard keyboard. Why don't you play around with it and see if there are any? Then report back and let us know what they are ;)

changing resolution on hdmi connection

When connecting my asus a500 to a HDMI MATRIX SWITCH I receive the android app with it saying 720p? how coul-d I use my 1080I panasonic 40 inch monitor as a connection for the asus a500.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] riqjuan:
Does anyone know the actual weight of the new 10.1? Most spec sheets indicate 595g, however at Google I/O the presentation indicated 565g?

Typo perhaps? Or are they just adding to the confusion?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
The 595g is for the 10.1V
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] riqjuan:
I'm really confused then.

According to Wikipedia and numerous other sources -- the 10.1v is 599g

Also, why at the Google I/O event would they display the 10.1 (non Vodafone) as 565g ?

sorry i am unable to post links currently, but if you go to galaxytabs dot com and look at the post on May 10th you can see the image i am referring to.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
Oh. Well IDK. >:(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] oxeneers:
All I can tell you is it's insanely light. It almost feels bendable, if that makes any sense. It's almost too light.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] riqjuan:
so given the fact that @ Google I/O they showed the presentation of the "Limited Edition" 10.1 as 565g

...could this then mean that the eventual 10.1 final release will in fact be 595g

with the 10.1v as 599g

3 different h/w models???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] risq:
10.1V - First gen, now already outdated due to 10.1. = 599g

10.1 Wifi - Doesn't have SIM slot, MicroSD slot nor 3G Card = 565g

10.1 3G - Has SIM slot, MicroSD and 3G card so is heavier than WIFI = 595g

Thinking about it logically like that, it makes sense.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] riqjuan:
Hmmm...interesting, taking all those factors into account it does make sense now.

nice one risq
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aaroncook5:
So the wifi only version WILL NOT have microSD? that seems an odd omission.. Could you provide a link or anecdotal evidence for this, good sir? That would most definitely be a deal breaker for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] riqjuan:
i personally dont have any evidence to support this, however I do have this link from Samsung indicating that the 8.9 tab has a MicroSD slot but not the 10.1

http://originus.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19833&gltype

but then again, the 10.1 also doesn't show it has 'Sensors' and i'm pretty sure that's not correct.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kevin Gossett:
The special edition given at I/O doesn't have an SD slot... Why would they leave it off that if it would be in the retail version? Doesnt make sense to have yet another version
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aaroncook5:
yeah.. at this stage in the game, theyve been manufacturing those things for a while to get ready for launch demand. I'm willing to bet I/O tabs are identical hardware to the retail version, with the obvious exception of the white back.

Dang... I've much to reconsider...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iconoclastnet:
The Google i/o edition has no sd-card slot and no 3G. The hardware for the sd-card and the sim card are probably one unit.

I expect that apart from the androids printed on the back, the white wifi-only 32GB version will be same as the Google i/o version (but that's just a guess).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] appelflap:
Don't think the 10.1v is necessarily outdated due to the 10.1 . It's just another model. Don't know if the 10.1 has a better design because of its thinness. The 10.1v has a great grip due also to the design of the backplate.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] riqjuan:
...and let's not forget the 8MP rear camera on the 10.1v
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] johnt1:
I guess all this well be answered in a couple weeks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
I think reason 10.1 from I/O does not have an SD support is because it is sort of a hybrid. Old 10.1v (and all its specs) but in a body of 10.1

It ads confusion but hell... that have produced 5.000 pieces quickly out of the spares they had knocking around any way. It is one of.

And if you are a developer you are still going to be happy with a gift like that... lets face it - if it did not costed you a penny why would complain that it lucks stuff.

On the other hand... in order for you to develop stuff for honeycomb it is more than enough.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
I'm guessing that the retail will have an SD, the I/O tab is similar to the developer Nexus phones.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] no2apple:
565 and Tegra 2. No SD

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] enisoc:
never mind....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
As much as I would like this option (as Exynos) as well (Tegra 3), there is no way Nvidia will rush with the next platform.

Tegra 2 is hardly out there yet and since there is no competition on the market with something as good as Tegra 3 coming out soon - why would they rush.

Exynos is not as available as Tegra 2 + it takes time... Tegra 3 reaches manufacturers, they prepare whole design, software, etc... than productnion needs to be prepared... and actually made. Products will be shown and tested few months before lunch.

We will not see any Tegra 3 products this years as we did not see any thing real with Tegra 2 in 2010.

+ Samsung says Dula core 1Ghz not quad core :-)

Few days ago:

But, I will not wait till this Tegra 3, nor later when ICS released.

I will blindly take this GTab 10.1 or 8.9 as my first Android tablet.

Then wait till the "right" one came in.

Same like phone, I took Desire ... then wait, and got Nexus S. Good enough, the best today in terms of software and still kicking ass.

View attachment 593476
[T-Mobile LG G2x] renocivik:
I guess it makes sense for.it to be mirrored.... but you would think saving a pic would correct this ... or an option....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redthunda69:
Happens on most FFCs, including my 3DS and previous phone (iPhone 4).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] renocivik:
Ya... it makes sense... once I thought about it... but like I said... you would think.it would show mirrored on screen but save pic properly... but.then again... only time you.would notice is if there is text.. or logos.... on well... now everyone gets to see my studly kid... hahaha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Then everyone would be pissed that all the pictures are flipping upon saving. Most front facing cams will be mirrored just so when you move left, so does the image of you. Thinking about videos.

It may appear "weird" at first, but it is REALLY weird when you flip it your way. Trust me. I used to have a WebCam with this option to "flip" and it was instantly turned off.
