I get about 18 hours on a battery with heavy use. Have you updated maps? The new updates are killers on battery sense it always restarts. Do you leave wifi and by on? These will also cause your battery to drain

KT, I did flash with full batt, but didn't clear batt stats...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KTownGT:
I would try clearing battery stats; what's the worst that can happen? You're battery life being bad? :p

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
Now that my battery stats are functioning after a few cycles, I'm getting phenomenal battery life.

The picture below documents it. It's probably light use for most of you - an handful of calls, checking my email every couple hours, an hour of music playing on a walk. I also shut off auto-rotate last night, hearing that it may solve the "charge drop" issue, and maybe that contributes to the following.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadrash7:
Today android os usage was about 5 hours and killed my battery. Could not get it to stop either even with reboots. Very annoying. Hasnt been happening much till today.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FridayJ:
Not that this will make a difference, but I went thru the whole process.... started over. Flashed back to eclair (so glad we aren't stuck with that anymore!) and then used odin (yikes!!!) and flashed bootloaders again, then talon, then GR-12 from recovery. It got a bit hairy but I eventually got back to gb... and I just don't think I'll be curious again, about flashing back to froyo!!!! Once I realized that I might not be able to get BACK...

Let's just say I'm not curious anymore! So, hopefully I'll figure out batt drain... and maybe it won't be so bad anymore, seeing as I went thru the whole process again!

Just hoping that I'll get batt times like some of you that posted today!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and observations... will see how GR treats me!

Friday :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Maps v 5.4.0 is a bad problem for battery life. As mentioned by Zelendel, it will drain your battery. I also found that Keep The Lights On was a problem for my phone (mileage may vary). I also keep a lot of things turned off. Background data, auto sync, auto rotate, wifi,BT,auto brightness, even data if I know I won't be checking my phone for a few hours. I keep all these things off, unless I need them. In the end, it all adds up.

Another thing is to calibrate your battery. It will make a difference in how long you can use your phoneeach day.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superalpaca:
Uhhhh, what? How is it that you can't flash back? As far as I know, just using the standard method of flashing back from 2.3.x to 2.1 stock works fine.

And you need to give ROMs time for battery life to get better. Simply going off a day's use on Gingerbread doesn't give you an accurate reading. It takes a few cycles after each ROM flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FridayJ:
Superalpaca,

It's not that I couldn't flash back, things just got a bit sketchy WHILE I was in the middle of the whole process. Once I went back to 2.1, somehow 3-button disappeared (which I've read about in the past) and that freaked me out! Getting to download mode was sketchy as well... but, I used adb and that worked flawlessly! (new jig is prolly in my mailbox now, but didn't check after work tonite) Keep in mind tho, it was the first time I'd used adb and LONG time since I've used command prompt.

BTW, I've been on GB for like a month or so, so my impressions of batt life on GB weren't based on 1 day of usage. I appreciate your input tho, thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FridayJ:
Thanks for this info MH!!!!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuloplori:
One more thing to add is that removing the battery for 5-10min helped my quick drain prob.(100% to 90 in a cpl of min) I also unistalled gmaps since igo is what i prefer better and offcourse wifi is turned off when its not necesary.I get about a day worth of juice with a moderate use. Also download cpuspy from market ,its a free ap. U can monitor if ur phone actually goes into deep sleep or not,some guys reported issues with their phone staying at 800 or 1000 mhz.Personally I dont like to mess around with OC/UV so I never had the deep sleep issues so far.

What about maps 5.5? I'm noticing that android System is still using a lot of battery life. I froze.maps so ill see if that fixed the problem.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexige:
5.5 has the same issue where it can't be killed from running services like 5.4. Im using 5.3.1 and I can kill it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FridayJ:

batt: 14.5 hrs

Just hit 69%

Moderate use... listening to music, a little Angry Birds, little email, standby, ect

Holy ****e! Huge difference now that I flashed GR-12!

I froze maps and BT...

Everything running smooth!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueghost24:
Read on the GR12 thread that a battery pull for 15 minutes helps and to let it run a few cycles also. I flashed GR12 three days ago saw significant drain on day two, did the battery pull "fix" and today all seems well. I have had the phone on for 5 hours and am at 85% now (checked email, surf the web for 15 minutes, read some threads from the XDA app and played a couple of games).

Side note: Can't wait for Mikey to put out the next update to GR12 or possibly even Serendipity 7!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoxpolice:
damn, you win.

I have only ever had half of what you have there. i think 2:30 screen time is my max.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThreeofNine:
yes 5.4 & 5.5 have the battery draining issue. If you go to Market, My Apps, choose Maps, Uninstall. it should remove just the updates and take you back to 5.2.1 (or 5.3.1 for some?) and you can kill it. Make sure you don't update it in the future (so don't select Allow Automatic updating) until this issue is corrected in future Map versions.

If you can't get back to 5.2.1 or 5.3.1 here's the apk
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredOak3:
I removed Maps all together, stopped all Widgets, stopped all mail synch and killed anything else I could find and any GB I try drains at 10%/hour or more. But I can get 24 hours on froyo, I just can't figure out what is doing it.

[HD2 General] millia90:
Hello ladies and gents thanks for stopping by. My HD2 is essentially fried. I woke up and it was HOT. So I put it infront of my fan to cool off. When I picked it up later the vol down, home, and call keys were not working. So I went for a reboot. When I reboot it loads the NRG WM rom, and then to the Hyperdroid CM7 NAND rom I have on it. Well it got stuck at the Android screen, so I took the battery out and went to load up into MAGLDR and now it is stuck in this cycle where it goes

ANDROID LOAD at 118000000

from MicroSD

Load zImage

K:/zImage

SD kernel open failed

and shows the menu of MAGLDR and then goes back and forth between the two.

My phone is a Telestra T9193, running off the AT&T Network. Thanks for help in advance.

Edit:

Found out the reason for the cycle. Think the internal board is fried so the call button stays active and repeatedly activates.

I am doing a task29 now that I figured that out.
[HD2 General] millia90:
Well task29 didn't do a damn thing. Now I'm stuck at the NRG energize screen. Le sigh.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
If the boards fried then you'll need to have it replaced...

Sorry :(
[HD2 General] millia90:
Would I be able to ship it to the HTC in America? Because it is the Telestra (AUS) version of the phone.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
You probably could, I dare say a local repairer could get the part though.

You might want to weigh the cost of repair +shipping against the cost of buying a second hand hd2 though.....

[HD2 General] millia90:
The other thing I had forgotten though was they wont repair the phone (HTC) because of the custom ROM that's on there not to mention HSPL.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
Are you just missing the Google Apps? Most people's contacts are either associated with their Gmail account or the Facebook account.

If you need the Gapps, go to http://goo-inside.me/gapps and download the appropriate ones (the 20110307 are likely the most appropriate).

If you didn't back up your previous ROM, you cannot retrieve your "stuff", but once you install the Gapps, you can download any previous Market purchases again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRE77:
Are you referring to the built in hotspot tether or the app wireless tether? There is a fix for the app. Search the forum to find it if that is what you mean. Go into settings and then accounts and sync and make sure Facebook is set up to sync. If that doesn't help be a little more specific as to what you mean. Could be as simple as a fix permissions and reboot!

It might also be advantageous to set the default to more than 10, especially for super-long development threads. :cool:
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Increasing Posts per Page adds more load onto the servers as there's more data to read and return in a single query from the database.

50 is probably a good max, and setting everyone to 10 will help keep the load down for new users who are happy with the default (also the Google bot has it's settings at 10ppp - makes my life hard I'm on 20ppp :)).

It's up to the server admins at the end of the day, but I'm not sure they'll spring for it.

Hi Guys,

In the last three days I've learned how to root my captivate, side-load apps, installed barnacle and wifi tether, all in the hopes of using my TF while on the road with my Captivate.

Unfortunately I cant get BT or Ad Hoc tethering to work.

I get the paired but not connected error when using BT

My TF is 8.2.3.13 so I can't root (without downgrading to 8.2.3.9 which I'm kind of afraid to do).

Does anyone know if I need to install a custom rom on my captivate in order to get the BT to tether?

I've probably read 100 threads in hopes of getting this to work, but at this point I might have to return the TF and get an ipad (yuck) just to get some connectivity for working on the road.

Any suggestions would be very very appreciated.

Regards,

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirSid:
I'm assuming you want to use internet from your phone to tether to the tablet correct? Installing a custom rom is one way of achieving this. I use cognition rom which comes with the ability to tether through wifi. You need to activate that on the phone and have the tablet connect to the phone's wifi network.

I'm not sure if you were doing this but you cannot create an ad hoc network on the tablet and connect the phone to it to tether. The phone has to be the host and the tablet the client.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeles:
You don't want bluetooth. SirSid is on the right track suggesting the custom ROM although there are other ways that might not be as simple.

You want to turn on Mobile AP (Access Point) which turns your Cappy into a wifi hotspot and you're good to go. Go check the Captivate forums on how to achieve Mobile AP without much trouble. If you try to use it on a stock froyo cappy it will warn you about needing a tethering plan with ATT, you can easily remove the plan check using TiBu and it's all spelled out in the Cappy forums.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srikar_NBK:
I use Captivate all the time and I can turn on the mobile hotspot and have my TF connect to it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wunshot:
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, i plan on using my phone as the wifi host. I will give that cognition rom a shot. Im assuming the cognition rom creates the wifi network using infrastructure rather than ad hoc...is that the case?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeles:
Have no idea, I know it just works, it's actually a part of Android since Froyo, it just needs to be enabled and/or not checked if you don't have a tether plan.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirSid:
I think cognition just uses the defualt android AP app. It creates the network in infrastructure mode if I remember right.

In any case, it just works :)

(Its located in Settings >> Wireless and network >> Mobile AP)

It supports bluetooth tethering as well, but the tablet would need to recognize it as a bluetooth modem. I have not tried that yet. Using a usb tether would probably be best if it works however. Using wifi tether drains battery faster than than my car charger can charge my phone. I still manage to loose battery even when its plugged in.
