I was playing with my GF's Nook the other day and thinking about what a nice size it is for e-Reading. Now, I realize it has a higher screen resolution that WP7 doesn't support, so I wasn't thinking of going that far.

But I did get to thinking: is there a 7", 800x480 capacitive screen on the market that could be made to simply "plug in" via the same type of connector as the focus uses, and just work? In that case it wouldn't be *too* difficult to transplant the rest of the focus' guts into a bigger chassis (maybe adding a bigger battery since the extra space would be there anyway). Anybody thought about this or have some idea what one would look for?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jasongw:
So I'm guessing nobody has any idea or interest in exploring said idea? :p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] EvilWhiteDragon:
The chances of that working are pretty darn slim. I'm not really into the hardwaret thingy, but I'm pretty sure you would need to know what interface to the display is used on both devices. They need to be the same, or you'll need to find a way to convert the signals, which means a lot of work and room for error I guess.

I would say it's possible, if you find a device with the right resolution and display interface/controller.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] maverickzero:
The display itself should work, since a display is just a display... It only receives data what to display. But dunno if the touchscreen would work out of the box, maybe different systems use different protocols in sending/receiving/processing data from the touch panel... But then again, I don't have my diploma yet :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] OndraSter:
The displays must have the same controller. Or using the controller from the Focus - but don't forget, that it is AMOLED, so it might work totally different.

I don't think it is possible without too much effort. You should get some x86 tablet and run WP7 emulator on it :D. Or make an app for the W7 that looks like WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LOTG:
Basically you would need to have two drivers, or make the other side compatible with existing drivers.

The screen and the touch panel.

I don't know what type of touch panel you have, but WP7 uses capacitive screens, this is a big requirement because you won't work around it easily.

The way the positioning data is transfered matters allot, because this can kill the accuracy at the least.

Next, the screen needs to know how to display the data received from your device, I assume the connector won't fit out of the box so thats the first challenge. Then you need to make sure it's receiving the correct data over the correct lines. It is not the same as plugging in a D-SUB/DVI cable.

So, if you have knowledge of some hardware modifications (electro) then you will stand a chance, otherwise you'll probably end up wasting two devices.

If you can spare both, I would say go for it. Otherwise I would think twice if I were you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jasongw:
Yeah, I'm way too lazy (well, too busy with school) for all that :D. I was just randomly thinking about it the other day, how nice it'd be to have WP7 on a decent sized screen for an ereader, given that the Kindle app works great on the device. I guess I was hoping that there might exist, essentially, an "embiggened" version of the exact same screen, with the same connector, to simply be driven off the Focus' existing controller and hardware. Capacitive, obviously--WP7 on Resistive would lick all kinds of donkey balls, I'm sure.

i FOUND A TERRIFIC WAY TO KEEP great battery. Go into your task manager and kill all level 2 process' then lock your screen. It will not allow your launcher to start back up until you go back into it. I'll post another screen shot when I'm around 10%

Battery life

Hi all,

I'm new to the android market and a lot of the lingo. Can anyone explain and/or walk me through how to get better battery life? I've gotten several apps from the market that seem to work a little, or at least give the illusion of working (i.e. apkik, juice defender, android booster). So far, juice defender seems to be the only one working halfway decently. What exactly does UV kernel and bali kernel refer to?

Thanks.

I have also considered rooting the system to get rid of some of the crap apps that can't be removed from the phone, but am scared that I will ruin it. Any info will be much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
I assume you are completely stock? Look for the rooting thread first, after you root look into the Bali Kernel in the development section. UV stands for under volting, meaning your device uses less battery to operate. Along with that, the kernel speeds up your phone quite a bit from stock. Better battery life, snappier response times, sound improvement, etc.

hope this helps

btw, im going on 18+hrs @31%
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adas1223:
29h 3m 32s @ 25% battery left.

SWEET! Calibrated my battery. keep data and wifi off unless i need it.

10min of NOVA2, x construction, NFS shift.. some words with friends. 20mins of phonecalls. texting. some interwebs, gps. havent listened to music yet though o_O..

ill consider this moderate.. PLUS my battery is only 1500mah.

THANKS THANKS THANKS!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] peterpandesal06:
hey, im a noob here. can someone explain to me how to use bali kernel? i've just finished rooting my phone. and whats next after that? thanks a lot mates! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
If u search within these forums all your questions have probably been answered already. But to start you off I would recommend grabbing cwm3 final in the development section posted by krylon360. Have fun with your phone. Also u need cwm to flash the Bali kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Ok I honestly do not understand how do you guys get that good battery life. I tried everything, black backgrounds, juice defender, calibrated battery, minimum brightness, no widgets. And this is almost a week after the flash so the battery should be calibrated properly by now. I barely even used my phone today but for some reason it died at 6pm......I unplugged it at 9am. I think there's something running in the background that's eating my battery. When you guys clear ram and reload the launchers, what is the used ram usually at? Mine stays at 240, and I think it's a LITTLE too much.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:

Theres a list somewhere of the bloatware to delete and freeze via Ti backup.

Also keep your gps, data, wifi off when you're not using them. with bali and spare parts, u should be hitting 36hrs

PS: maybe my battery life can be due to me using ADW launcher? not sure if the TWlauncher? runs behind it or what? anyone? just a thought
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
36hours? Best I've ever gotten is 13, and that's with MINIMAL use, as in the total time of the screen even being on is only an hour. I also do turn those off when not in use so I don't understand why it's like that. Maybe there's something I need to freeze that's draining my battery. Or maybe it's twlauncher since I'm still using it in fear of other launchers draining more battery.

Battery Life w/ Bali 1.4uv

Running Bali 1.4uv, no fugu tweak, overclocked to 1.3 stable. Running adw launcher, beautiful widgets, and inferno live wallpaper and am getting great battery life. This is with moderate use most of the time and heavy use some times. Just flashed bionix so am wondering how the battery life will last with this outstanding rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
How the hell??? Ok sigh. I'll try again today. Starting stock deodexed kd1, Bali 2.1, fugu tweaked, freezed most bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lostsauce:
After installing bali 1.4uv I recalibrated my battery twice, letting it run down to zero each time. I have most of the bloat removed but am not sure if that has anything to do with it. Advanced Task Killer set to safe auto kill every hour. Hope that it helps. It also took about 2 days to see good results.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Thanks for the help. I'll try using advanced task killer. I really hope this improves. Everyone else is getting amazing results but it seems like im the only one who isn't. When I look at battery stats, the screen is at 99%. I don't see why does it uses that much battery. I don't even turn the screen on that much and I have an all black background with screen brightnes at minimum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Turn your phone off to fully charge then leave it on charger when you turn it on(@100%) then calibrate then unplug. Hope it helps you. My battery Charged for like 30 to 45 more minutes when it was off even when while on it said I was fully charged.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Thanks, I'll try that out tomorrow. Actually, Im thinkin of just flashing frost. Im hesitant because of all the issues people are having and my lack of a pc, but its bionix, so how can you resist? Since you guys flashed frost, would it be cool if you guys can update me on how battery life is like?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
For bionix yes I first bricked but I finally got it to go by adjusting the mounts as told to do in bionix op but also adjust the rest of the mounts. Also I haven't experienced any other issues with bionix( fc's; market;web; etc.). Seems pretty stable to me and I'm oc'd on top of it all

As for battery life I had to recalibrate so it will be a day or two before I can give u good results.

Running on non uv kernel.

I use it@ home on wifi, never turn it off. Keep my gps on @ ask times. Listen to music to and from work, (about 3.5 hrs total). But @work I barely use it, except for a few calls and a quick check on the weather or something like that. Also, me anf my daughter play a few games on it, and watch a few videos on wifi.

DATA OFF

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!!!

I bought a phone, not an iPod touch. the whole point of an ALWAYS CONNECTED device is to be always connected. I get @ least 12 hrs out of it browsing websites for an hour, 200-300 texts, maybe 20-30 emails...

The battery will last WEEKS if you turn the phone all the way off, but that defeats the purpose doesn't it??

Ive used the calibration tool afyer draining battery and charging up to 100% and upon pressing calibrate it says "calibration succeeded" is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lostsauce:
Are you leting it charge to 100% then calibrating then letting it fully discharge then charge all the way back to 100%? I did this 3 times in a row and starting getting amazing battery life.

question bro what battery calb are u using... after all the rom testing and tweakiing for u guys i reallly need to recalb bad..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Battery calibration by NeMa on the android market.

But to be honest Even after several battery discharges my battery life hasn't improved.... battery just barely, and I mean barely lasts through the day. Ok with you guys getting 24 hours what's the display on time? I have a feeling that it's not that much because there is no way y'all can get 24 hours with the display being on for more than just 3 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
Gingerbread have me a nice 50h 27min (possibly more because I checked when it said my battery was critical and I charged it) this is with what I consider moderate use while overclocked to 1.3 so I'd say its pretty friggin good :D

Whats the screen on time?

Sorry I don't remember...and sorry for no pics but I didnt have the screenshot app at the time
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] peterpandesal06:
Yes. Im doing that and still there is no improvement on my phones battery life. :-(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
If I heavy use my phone I get 10 - 12 hours. If I use my phone before bed and then leave unplugged (say I'm at 90%) I wake up at like 89%. Then I can go for another 7 - 8 hours of heavy use.

Moderate use (email, sms, facebook, no youtube, little gaming) will get you even longer.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nOl3ell:
OIC thx guy:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Ok not trying to be a troll or anything but is it just my phone or is it that no matter what rom (kd1, kf2, etc) and no matter what kernel you are running (bali, stock). The phone dies once the total screen awake time reaches anywhere near 4 hours. its as if no matter what you are doing be it web browsing, customizing the phone, or playing a graphics intensive game, the battery drains 20% per hour of screen awake time. just an observation i made. if its true thats pretty crappy for battery life.

if someone can post a pic of the screen awake time being higher than 4 hours, then obviously my observation is wrong, and theres something wrong with my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Juice Defender should help with battery life; it's available on the Market.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
I've been using the free version of juice defender, and I think it helps. Also, make sure you aren't using a task killer with Froyo, I've found it isn't needed and will use up more battery life.

I'm still on the stock ROM and kernal (KD1 deodexed build and root), and I'm at 16% battery life with about 50.5 hours now. So I'm wondering if the Bali kernal will actually be better for me?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
wow. thats pretty crazy. i average 11 hours, no matter what i do. is the only thing you're doing differently the juice defender? because if you're getting 50+ hours....i will have no problem buying that program and getting a ton of battery life!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] peterpandesal06:
Here is mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] qpqpqp:
i'm using bali kernel that came with bionix black ice right now. would installing juice defender improve battery even more? i hear a lot about this juice defender stuff, does it really work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Real550:
Just draining the battery then clearing the battery stats and giving it a full charge did it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
I think the program definitely helps a bunch, but it also depends a lot on how you use your phone.

You can try the free "beta" version of Juice Defender to get an idea of how it works. It does lack some features, like night mode, and individual app control, but for the most part, it will help. In fact that's what I'm using right now, but will probably buy the ultimate version because it seems to be working very well.

I use my phone mostly "as a phone". I do check email a bit, but never more than a couple of times a day (I have a desktop computer at work), and I'll check weather and news headlines/browsing a bit. And sometimes a bit of gaming, but very little. I don't get a ton of calls, so I'm sure that helps too.

Key for me I think has been to see what apps run on my phone, and then use Titanium Backup to uninstall programs that I don't use that might run on their own (like T-mo "my account", telenav, etc). Check the "running services", and also in "manage applications" under the "running" tab. There is a lot you can uninstall, but be careful! Be sure to make a backup first. It's a good idea to restart after uninstalling a bunch of apps to "flush out" any remaining processes, or icons that didn't immediately go away in the app drawer.

I also have an app called "autorun manager" that you can use to stop programs you want to keep from automatically starting up (like compass, qik). Some apps will auto restart, so you can't stop those, so just set them back to "enabled".

Don't use a task killer though. I've read that they aren't needed on 2.2 and up, and will end up just eating up your battery life, because they are constantly killing processes that restart again. If you are having memory issues, try a program called "auto memory manager". It lets you adjust the OS's memory thresholds, and allows android to manage memory properly on its own

I turned off automatic display brightness, and have the slider at about 1/10th brightness. It's barely above the minimum, which is plenty bright if you are indoors. Only in direct sunlight is it difficult to read.

Turn off haptic feedback, and all volume levels are very low except incoming calls.

Also, go to your Accounts & Sync page, and disable automatic syncing - or at least turn off auto-syncing on accounts like Facebook, which will be running ALL the time.

Turn off wifi, GPS, and bluetooth unless you are using them.

If you use Juice Defender, you can set your email account to sync at various intervals (30 mins, 1 hour, etc), which will save some battery. JD will also turn off your data, wifi, etc when your screen is off. Paid versions have app control where you can set stuff to turn on with certain apps, like GPS will turn on and off with google maps, etc.

I also usually put my phone in airplane mode when I go to bed to save battery. The paid versions of JD have a "night mode" which will do this automatically (you set the times). Or you can just turn the phone off, but that clears the battery time counter.

Even without JD, I was getting more than 11 hrs battery life though, so if yours is that low, maybe you need to re-calibrate the battery???
