Battery Calibration

Sorry to hear you had a scare... right now the cwm situation is a bit sketchy but booting to recovery is a must. Now I'm not gonna start a whole "liion batteries don't need depletion because they have no memory yada yada" convo but the the results don't lie and let me explain why.

From what I've learned from my xda lurking, there is an amount of battery that is reserved so that it isn't completely dead. Now with all our meddling and rebooting this can get out of sync thus reporting wrong battery stats. The only time it has to learn new battery stats is when it has been forced manually ( calibration app found in the nexus forums) or when android reports that it thinks the battery is dead. So instead of 5% being 5% its more like 5% is 20% so from what I've observed and tested is that when bad battery drain is attributed to this you will experience 100% drain to 60% very rapidly and then it slows down. When bad battery drain is attributed to a rogue app it drains rapidly regardless of the amount of charge and doesn't really slow down at all.

Just so were on the same page I agree that the actual battery is fine ( no liion battery memory ) its android that gets a lil screwey. So in theory this doesn't make sense... I know.. but the results speak for themselves.. 4 hours up and 94% left... facebook twitter and gmail all synced once an hour. Before I would have been at 80% and then it would slow down. I hope someone can benefit from this
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
Alright, thanks for the replies guys. And yeah I agree, at this point CWM is a must...just a little weird that it would come on when my phone boots after dying. Oh well. And Sifon haha sorry, I was kind of afraid that post would come off the wrong way haha but really, I was actually accepting what you were saying lol. ;)

Anyway, back on topic, since I've done all that my phone is now at 77% and it's been on for about 24 hours (maybe less, it seems the count got a little off for some reason). Does that sound pretty good? Wasn't overly using, but also wasn't NOT using it either. I tend to leave Wifi/data, etc. off when I'm not going to be using it for a while.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sifon187:
Well I am sorry too, because I did not realize how Android handled the battery. Since Android can incorrectly detect the battery level, these methods should work on the OS side.

BTW, your battery life is kicking mines ass right now
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
Okay, my battery seems even more screwed up now. It dropped 10% in like an hour after I left my apartment this morning, and I barely used it, Wifi/data weren't on...The real kicker is I just got back to my apartment and noticed it dropped another 10% during a timespan that I literally didn't even look at my phone once, over like another hour or so...wtf?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sifon187:
You may just have a faulty battery. Id call Moto, or go to a ATT store and see if you can get a replacement.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Before you get a new battery I'd like to try something. Drain it down nice and good (say 3% - 5%) then plug into your wall, enter cwm and hit charge mode. This should charge your phone when it is off. Unless you need an alarm :P

If after that it still gives you grief, then its time to call moto.

My son mailed his htc hd2 to me and it just arrived in the mail. I opened it, turned it on and it all looked great except it said "no sim card". I turned it back off and inserted the sim card, and pressed the power button.................NOTHING......

What have I done wrong?

[Captivate Android Development] Trae32566:
I've recently run into an issue finding the original bootloaders (specifically Eclair boot.bin), and after searching for a few hours, NUSHOR pulled some for me and put them on dropbox, so I figured if anyone needs them (I needed them, as hopefully I'll be making a one-click Heimdall for Gingerbread and Froyo soon for all platforms) links are at the bottom! They have become hard to find!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15148638/phonestuff/Bootloaders/FROYO_BOOTLOADERS_UCJI6.zip

This is for those of you who know how to flash them using Heimdall (IT IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP!)

Let me reiterate the point of this:

You *can* use the i9000 GB bootloaders on Froyo, however you cannot use them on Eclair or CM7

You *can* use the new AT&T GB bootloaders on Froyo and Eclair *AND* CM7

The purpose of this is to give those that need to RMA, or need to go to *complete* stock, a way to get the official AT&T bootloaders.

Don't flash these if you don't need them!

Happy flashing otherwise! :D

Ouch man!
[Captivate Android Development] tarheelblueboy87:
You are the man!!! I had a lot of trouble trying to find these for the longest time! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :D
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
JI6? The leaky Froyo rom!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Just use the GB ones, they are backwards compatible.
[Captivate Android Development] tarheelblueboy87:
I did not realize that and was worried that somehow it would mess up my phone going to CM7 from i9000 ROMs.

Thankfully, there are real developers like designgears on this site to steer me in the right direction. I appreciate you dropping some knowledge on us!
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
You can't use Gingerbread bootloaders on CM7. I don't remember exactly what it screws up, but I remember some people tried it and had serious issues. Gingerbread bootloaders work with Samsung 2.2 ROMs, which is what designgears was saying (I assume).
[Captivate Android Development] tarheelblueboy87:
I have no clue whether mine are downgraded, but I'm guessing no, i still show the i9000 screen as primary boot. I did use Odin to flash back to eclair, but pretty sure there were no bootloaders in the package. I have been running CM7 great! Maybe I downgraded, or the hardware lock on the sbl makes it okay (my i897 is model 1012, prob makes a dif). Dunno, but I like having an essentially pure Google phone with CM7, so i hope the problem never crops up for me!

In no way am I advocating that other captivate users listen to me. Listen to these devs, I'm just sharing my experience. Thank u for more clarification, and CM7 Platypus kernel rocks!
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Lol, I'm not the platypus dev, just maintaining the thread for zacharias.maladroit. But thanks anyway ;)

The CM dev have said it won't work, but I guess you're just lucky. Is your external sd mounted? I think that was an issue that was mentioned.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] tarheelblueboy87:
I just got an external sd, and it doesn't show up in my storage information. I really didn't know what was up with that, I just didn't really care, but now I do lol.

I'll see if oneclick works to downgrade the bootloaders, but it has not worked in the past.

I've had trouble making a package of my own with bootloaders: I've added them to the .tar, but it fails when it runs, so obviously just adding them isn't enough. What else needs to be done to make them actually flash through odin as a .tar? Or is adding them actually enough? Does my file fail because it contains the sbl, which I thought had a hardware lock on my model, and is that also why oneclick fails?

edit----oneclick did the trick! THANK YOU designgears!!! Now I should be able to use CM7 as it was intended.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
If I'm currently on a JVH ROM, and wanted to be on CM7, I know what to do, but if I'm feeling lazy good I just technically just flash CM7 over it since I dont have an ext-Sd?

Or could I flash the above .zip to get my boot loaders back.
[Captivate Android Development] Trae32566:
Yes, they are, but only for Froyo AFAIK. Also, if you wish to use CM7, you can't use them, although you can use the new Gingerbread ones from AT&T
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
So I can use this bootloader to get CM7 to work back on my phone if I am rooted on the stock rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Trae32566:
Not sure what you mean by 'the stock ROM', but if you are on Gingerbread bootloaders, and you need / want CM7, your best option would be to follow the guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130879

The reason I say this is because more than likely, you will never need to flash the bootloaders I posted, as they will not support Gingerbread. Like I said in the first post, they are only if you need to RMA the phone, or return it to bone stock, otherwise the 'Unofficial' AT&T Bootloaders will be best for you, as they work on anything.

Edit: I didn't technically answer your question: Yes, you could use these for CM7, but it's typically best not to.

Personally I love AOSP roms , but my phone seems to dislike them like a plague . I make a phone call for 30 mins and Boom my android os is clocking in at 85% , but luckly my voice calls only stay at 6% . I gave up , you name it I did it . So now using a sensless Myn rom dressed up to look like aosp . I know it isnt AOSP but the asthetics is there and its good enough for me .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloak.n.dagger:
I think most of the issues with AOSP ROMs have to do with how people wipe before flashing. I would search the forums for a zip file that performs the wipe for you. There is one by Calkulkin (not sure if that the right spelling) but I heard that it doesn't wipe data. Just Google Search "Android data wipe zip file" and see what you get. I have one I can send you if you can't find anything.

Also, what recovery are you using? I know lots of people using Clockwork recovery that have all kinds of problems with AOSP ROMs because it doesn't wipe correctly. I recommend using AmonRA 2.3 recovery as I have had the best results with that.

Good luck. I hope you get it worked out. SOme of the latest AOSP ROMs are really awesome (I am running the Gingerbread-EVO-Deck ROM now and it is great)!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lunchmoney:
I had enabled the option to "exclude from media scan" various folders including the music folder, thinking this would stop album artwork from appearing in gallery.

I've now reverted back after realizing google music player is not recognizing the music folder. But this to no avail.

I've rebooted numerous times. I've taken out the SDcard and reinserted it but nothings working.

I've searched the market thinking an upgrade might solve the issue but no more google music player is on the market.

I've installed Player Pro, same story.. Not working.

But PowerAmp works! It can see music from folders but not from library.

I just switched from HyperdroidGBX to HyperdroidCM7. I don't know if I have done something wrong but any ideas on matter would be appreciated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: I just did a wipe data/factory reset and reinstalled the rom and it's still not updating the music folder!

Can someone please tell me whats going on? :confused:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: FIXED!

I just found a ".nomedia" file in the music folder. Guess what I did with that.. OK I will stop talking to myself now. But now you know what to do if this happens to you search engine person.

[General Questions and Answers] MojoRisin011:
Scroll down to recovery with volume button and select boot into recovery by pressing power button.. you should be able to power off your device from there granted you have clockworkmod installed as your recovery image.
[General Questions and Answers] th3bl3d:
OK SO I SOLVED IT! thanks to (MicaRyanSulc) for the pointer! BE AWARE! you cannot scroll up or down in that menu if you have PG05IMG zip file located in the ROOT of your sd card it automatically tries to update whatever is in that directory. therefore! i had to use my OG DROID to mount my SD card to my computer and rename the file. THIS NEEDS TO BE NOTED SOMEWHERE, because if not for my OG DROID or some way to modify my sd card it would have been bricked.

I have downloaded the HTCCamera.apk and it is not the one that was on the stock thunderbolt...it is still kind of laggy and it has a different effect (dots) and also it has an icon that if you press it switches from back to front camera. to do that in the stock camera you would hit menu and it would open settings and you would switch it from there.

I've just upgraded to GB and the previous temproot cease to work. :(
[HTC Incredible S] muyu:

[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Gingerbreak, dont use the apk. You gain shell temp-root. Push the Su and busybox. And you can start with freezing apps. Gingerbreak males your phone really unstable, so reboot after usage to make sure your phone works normal.

I won't explain how to do it because if you search a little it will be explained.

timbo007up, thanks for your tip. I tried to search and came up with this manual procedure to use Gingerbreak to root. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13084221&postcount=2

I followed the procedures but waited for more than 10 mins without the # prompt.

I already tried 2 different formatted SD cards but the same. Do you have any clue what went wrong?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Sometimes it won't work indeed, have also experienced it. Have you tried to reboot it with fastboot disabled (settings - power) I used the original SD card and worked the second time I tried. And it could take up to 10 mins though.

Just keep on experimenting and you will get there.
[HTC Incredible S] pepzin:
I'm struggling with this aswell. I've lost track of how many times I've tried :) I left it running for an hour yesterday, and that "vold got start/end"-message is the last thing it ever spews out. Is it normal that no other message is printed if it fails?

I will keep experimenting away. But I might figure out how to crosscompile the source on my Ubuntu box to add some "debugging printf:s" just to make sure it is actually still running :)

After an hour you'd think it would have reached printf("\n[-] Bad luck. Fixed vold?\n");...
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I think we'll all be happy to know what you can come up with. Even with AlphaRevX H-BOOT, we might still need temproot in the first place.:mad:
[HTC Incredible S] pepzin:
I got a beta key yesterday but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I will continue trying once I get home from work today. AlphaRevX just hangs when it is trying to root the phone, and so I guess it is similar to our problem with GingerBreak.

Ok, I finally succeeded thanks to kmdm! My phone is from Sweden, branded by my operator "3". Apparently they modified the software and broke GingerBreak. After lots of hesitation on my part, I finally flashed my device with RUU RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Virgin_Mobile_AU_2.12.981.2 _R_Radio_20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_ 185029_signed (can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 )

After that, it was smooth sailing! :)

I really want to thank kmdm and IEF so much for AlphaRevX, and for all the superb help I got from them!
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
Hi Pepzin,

do you mind to share the file and key to enable others do some experiment and can share the outcome (?) Many IS users waiting for AlpaRevX released their public beta. However we may find lucks by combination of recognized available soft-tools. Since xtc-clip (IMHO) is not best solution for public.
[HTC Incredible S] pepzin:
I'm sorry, but I cant do that because the key is unique to the phones serial number, so my key won't work on yours. But more importantly, becauseI am not allowed to leak private beta software.

AlphaRevX will be released soon though, don't worry :)
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
Hi Pepzin,

Well understand. No Problem at all. It's mean the key is the "pair" or CID itself. Yes if the key is CID (or pair of your CID) will not work for other phone. I just miss-leading, I thing the key is "decript" key to the alpharev software :D There is no clue how the alpharevX working. Your info give me small clue it's probably like "goldcard" / xtc-clip. Im not tech-savvy anyway ...

[Epic 4G General] lategordon:
You can use audiogalaxy to stream your music library. You do not need to upload anything. You install a audiogalaxy program on your PC, point the program to your music library, open up the audiogalaxy app on your Epic 4g and you can stream immediately over 3G, 4G, Wifi, or your desktop. Plus it scrobbles to Last FM. No uploading at all. The app is 100% free. I use it all the time.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.audiogalaxy&feature=search_result

Also there is no limit on how much you can stream. you have 40,000 songs, you can stream all 40,000

The only downside to this is that in order to stream, you must leave your computer with audiogalaxy background app on. Your computer is the cloud essentially. unlike Amazon and google's services where you are uploading it to their cloud locker.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
I have never used a stock widget. As for the task manager, you don't need one. Android manages task on its own. If you happen to get a stuck app, go to settings, apps, manage apps, then find the app and stop it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolento:
I know that's the argument about android task manage in a perfect world.

However, in actual usage I get STUCKED apps all the time. For example, if I don't disconnect from team viewer before jumping to another it gets stuck... This make it very cumbersome to go to settings app all the time.

I really need something on the home screen to kill these sticker apps.
