[Thunderbolt General] treyatl2006:
I live in a 3g area but I'm only a few miles away from 4g. As long as I'm in a 3g area my battery is good. But as soon as I enter a 4g area its not so good. It doesn't bother me too much since I have a car charger and have about ten usb cables and micro usb chargers laying around. But I probably will invest in an extended battery once VZW deploy 4g in my area a bit more.
[Thunderbolt General] brandoid:
Some good tips to get more out of the battery are...

1. For a good 10 - 15 days be sure to drain the battery all the way and then fully charge it.

2. When the phone is fully charged remove it from the charger. You may notice that if you leave it on the charger for a while after its fully charged it will go from 100% to 97% usually within minutes.

3. Screen protectors decrease the battery life due to holding heat into the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] iastonish:
You sure about that last one? I don't think screen protectors cause excess heat. Good tips otherwise.
[Thunderbolt General] fremont85:
I came from the Droid 1 and I think that the battery life is about the same. I have no complaints about it. I do live in a 3G area though.
[Thunderbolt General] cowisland:
Why do you suggest to fully charge and drain the battery for 10 - 15 days? I deained the battery fully a couple of times when I just got the phone. Do you think I should repeat the procedure?
[Thunderbolt General] n0thing2bdone:
fully draining the battery shortens its life span. and once it reaches 100% charge, it stops charging and begins to drain--taking it off/leaving it on are the same.
[Thunderbolt General] SomeGuyDude:
These batteries don't need to be "conditioned" by fully cycling them. All that'll do is help calibrate your gauge.
[Thunderbolt General] brandoid:
This is all information that came for HTC about the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] pkuo1117:
I trialed the DInc2 for 2 weeks and switched to the Thunderbolt while my wife stuck with her DInc2, after rooting and installing Das Bamf 1.6.3 remix with adrynalyne's kernel, I easily make it through the day with moderate usage (autosync on, several hours of gaming, hundreds of txt, hour of phone calls) on 3g/wifi. DInc2 will get a couple extra hours in a day with the same usage, but you get a phone with 4g capability for the future, a larger screen, and all the support of the devs here for your rooted device while my wife's waiting for her DInc2 to still be rooted.
[Thunderbolt General] Deltaechoe:
Best thing to do is just buy some cheap ebay batteries. I use those and I keep a few in my pocket just in case
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
Sounds like you have got a rogue app you need to take care of, more so than the phone being bad.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
# 1 and 3 are complete BS, and a funny joke.

As for #2, this is why we need bump kernels. They don't destroy batteries, unless they are crappy made chinese batteries, and they keep you at a real 100% when you are finally able to pull your phone off the charger.
[Thunderbolt General] khanam:
We have both. Inc 2 battery life is ridiculously good. Bolts does not even come close.

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
Agreed. Completely draining the battery actually shortens battery life. When I get below 20%, I put in a fresh battery or put it on the wall charger. Screen covers don't have enough insulating ability to retain enough heat to hurt it. Any excess heat blocked by a cover will dissipate through the back of the phone. Even if #3 was true, I'd take suboptimal battery life over a scratched screen any day. Here are some valid tips for better battery life:

1. Stay on wifi whenever possible. This disables the radio antenna so it's not constantly looking for signal.

2. Disable 4G when you're not in 4G area.

3. Limit syncing intervals to whatever will get you by. Unless you absolutely *must* have facebook or email checked every 15 min, change it to something more reasonable like 30 min or 1 hr.

4. Go to settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks and uncheck "always-on mobile data". Email, fb, twitter, pandora & proly everything else you need works fine w/o it.

5. Get Juice Defender from the market. It works. Even the free version will help some.

6. Get Autostarts from the market to prevent battery-hogging apps from launching in the background.

7. Flash a battery-sipping kernel & use the most efficient (read: slowest) CPU states you can get by with.

8. Get an extra battery or extended battery & you won't have to gimp your phone in order to use it all day :)
[Thunderbolt General] sir2545:
If any of you have ever owned the X, and have looked at the tips, it recommends charging the battery once it reaches 30% to improve performance and decrease charging time. It also recommends rebooting once daily to kill any app that may be causing excessive battery drain. HTC may be different from Moto but they are all Li-Ion batteries.

As far as bumping charging goes, I had never heard of this phenomenon until this phone was released and now everything has to be bump charged. Nonsense to me, but to each his own.

I just returned the Charge and it had good battery life with a 1600mah battery in it. If you purchased the slim extended 1600mah battery from Seido, I don't see why you wouldn't get comparable performance from the Tbolt, since they are fairly similar devices.
[Thunderbolt General] squeakyl:
You won't, because it's not actually 1600mah
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
Battery is an issue if you are new to Android OS..
[Thunderbolt General] chrisjm00:
So wait...my battery life is bad because of my screen protector? Lolz that's news to me.
[Thunderbolt General] Deltaechoe:
I forgot to mention, turn off all the radios when not using the phone. Get the power widget and have out turn off everything
[Thunderbolt General] TSerge:
Not sure why everyone's having a problem. I have the original battery, Running the Froyo version of Das Bamf, and I live in a 4G area. I leave auto-brightness on, wi-fi off (until I know I'm in a wi-fi area), GPS on. My battery will last an entire day unless I'm on it for hours at a time.

Is this a case of unreasonable expectations, or do you guys have your screen on, doing something, all the time? The display, I've found, is about 70% of the battery drain.
[Thunderbolt General] matthewkolden:
I have a new Tbolt running almost constantly 4g. I average about 5 hours of battery life with minimal use before having to charge.
[Thunderbolt General] microdot:
I get what you are saying and its great knowing that there is at least something you can do to get better battery life but not everyone is rooted and not everyone is running a custom rom that provides better battery life. Running a different rom in my opinion is an extreme step or "tweak" to have to take in order to gain better battery life.

I think that a fair assesment of battery life should be based on how it performs out of the box and that is not the greatest. That being said i have been able to increase the life with some normal adjustmenst and settings that has been suggested in these forums.
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
phone battery is good on 3G..4G forget about it..I get about four hours of battery with 4G on..the battery drains even while its idle and it gets real hot when I surf the web. I only use 4g when I need it and if im real close to a charger

edit: run on stock
[Thunderbolt General] ElectroFetish:
Very nice tips.
[Thunderbolt General] getsoutalive:
Sorry guys, its not the 4G radio. I leave 4G on all the time and my battery keeps getting better. Hit a personal best 30+ hrs couple of days ago. Not rooted but with the update. Sure it was a quiet day, but not like I was intentionally trying to not use it. Right now, I am unplugged for 16:45 hrs and still have 61% on my stock battery.

Now, I do still occasionally have days where something runs the phone at 3-400ma and will drain the battery in a few hours. Rebbot is only on way I have been able to halt that. But that doesnt happen often.

I have no complaints with the device other than the occasional runaway power usage. The update fixed the only real issues I had and if anything, helped my battery life considerably.

Oh, I had one reboot in early Apr I think it was and one more on 6/4 early morning.
[Thunderbolt General] SF Bolt:
no, not with a little conditioning and tweeks.
[Thunderbolt General] jrgalarza1:
No complaints. 8-12 hours heavy use. Love this phone.
[Thunderbolt General] Icey34:
stock battery for me is 8-12 hours

Now the big momma jomma 2750 mah is like 2-3 days :)
[Thunderbolt General] FryDay444:
I don't have any issues with my battery in a 3g area...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BiffTirkle:
no buyers remorse here, yet. i ordered it this morning and wont know when i'll get it till monday.

im wondering now should i get the keyboard dock? i wont be pumping out emails and such on the device, i have a macbook, and a netbook for such things. i found a dock for 114 bucks here

http://www.cometsupply.com/mp/ASUS/pm/ASUTF101DOCKING/r/gg/

what do you think?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] motoatrix:
Thats the cheapest i've seen so far, I went ahead and ordered with them for total=$124.45, i'll let you all know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
i use the keyboard more than i thought ....

spare battery (even charges my phone)

sd card slot

usb ports

screen protector !!! much safer with the keyboard protecting the screen !

oh .... and its a keyboard too :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
Might not be a bad idea to wait, especially if it's not something in anticipate really needing/wanting right away.

It could be you might have some issues with the tablet and need to return or exchange it. I think it'd be good to be sure you've had time to play with the Transformer and be sure you are absolutely happy and keeping it first.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
Funny because I have already ordered my Dock and its on its way but I am waiting on a paycheck to order the Tablet it self.. I had $200 and it came in stock so I figured why not? its going to be horrible opening the box and having a Keyboard but no Tablet..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DominikReber:
Haha true!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BiffTirkle:
i think this is the best advice, though i DO want a keyboard, but i agree, i should wait to see how i like the overall experience. thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] OnceHeaven:
from my personal experience, I committed to buying both the Tablet & Dock bundled. having search high & low, finally coming across a shop that has both in stock, i knew i had to snap up it up. because over here in Singapore, tablet alone cost $699. $799 inclusive of dock. initially i did think that the dock was just an accessory that i might not carry around with me considering the extra mass & weight. but hey, guess what...i've been bringing in & out with me everyday! although i do have a laptop for me at work, i find that i use the tablet w/dock alot!

i give myself excuses use my TF to surf the net via stock browser & dolphin. its an amazing toy & i haven gotten sick of it.

I might just be 1 of the few lucky batches that has not encounter problems with the keyboard or trackpad. all has been working fine for me. btw, im running on 3.1.

experience has been great!!!

ps: apologies if i might sound over-zealous
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I purchased the dock. To me the availability of the dock is THE distinguishing feature of the Transformer. If one does not have need/want of the dock the Samsung lighter and thinner 10.1 or 8.9 look like better choices.

With the dock I often leave my laptop at home.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] acid123:
I just ordered one after selling my iPad 2,

Didn't go for the dock option as don't see myself ever using it,

Plus I didn't want to spend much money, I love 7" form factors so till there come out I think the transformer will suit me fine...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lysergic:
The Samsung 10.1 costs 100$ more. I don't think you get 100$ more stuff with it, in fact it's almost the same hardware...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] erne:
Used the keyboard and trackpad to reply to the forum message

I have found using a combination of fingers and keyboard much more usfull than I thought

Would recommend purchasing

ern
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BiffTirkle:
i am certain that i will buy the keyboard dock, i dont see myself NOT purchasing it after i have first decided that this is something that i really want and will use.

i bought an e reader and was sorely disappointed with the screen resolution, so i waited. then i got the nook color, and was disappointed with the lack of bluetooth, gps and a few other things (i made a list of pros and cons before i returned it).

so now, im getting a device that i have been stalking on the internet and reading about since its announcement. im excited about it and the possibilities it holds to satisfy my ultra picky gadget expectations.

to those of you know have one already can you answer this question.

how is the internet browsing? is it fast like a pc? while browsing on my phone over wifi the web pages dont seem to load quite as fast as on my pc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
It has high potential to replace your netbook with the keyboard (minus MS Office).

I just wish we had a good suite for MS Office. Polaris is nice, but still doesn't cut it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
The Samsung I held felt great. It feel very solid and lighter than the Transformer, even though the specs are close. The thinness may have something to do with it. Also, it was very smooth and has a great display. If I did not want the keyboard, the $100 would be well worth the difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
No. No table I have used is as fast as my desktop or notebooks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skeeterpro:
Dunno. My TF sure measures up to my netbook (HP2140). Not all that slower that my Toshiba I7 notebook either. Much depends on what is on the web page one is navigating to one supposes.

Guess I'm the odd one here as I really have no interest in getting a dock. I bought it to use as a tablet and that works for me. Now, when the desktop dock appears I'm all over that!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] S4F4M:
Turn off FLASH, and the browsing experience is really fast according to the iPad2 v TF (technobuffalo) via youtube.

overclocking

hi, don't know whether this should be here, or in another thread, but

I was wondering whether we could overclock in android from 'haret', because for me the setcpu app force closes many times and the overclocking widget does too. Maybe use haret startup command?

Thanks in advance!:)
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
Overclocking comes with some pretty serious risks. There is always the possibility you could brick the phone, this is not a game for beginners.
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:

[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
I am in the Swiss, and use swisscom network, when available 3G I have it and when not, then "H" ... sometimes it changes often,it depends on which option you choose (Network -> GSM / WCDMA -> Auto) and how well your provider's network covers at a particular place

H is for HSPDA, it's better than 3G (3,5G, see here)

Hi,

I think if you could add this also (HTC Sense) at the first page.

I mean it should be explained what is it, features, & what will you lose without HTC Sence.. like in CyanogenMod. or Comparing between Google Android vs CyanogenMod. in HTC HD Mini, Of course. :)
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
Halo iPlasm,

First to tell you, when i found free time i want to use it to learn about the Android file structure i want to know where what is, and what could be changed and adjusted to our tastes and needs, such as change fonts or support for the language or to make a custom ROM ... and that means also learning to work with the " My Mini Kitchen"...

HTC Sense... there is a wiki on http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/

Android User Guide i can not imagine something to add.

About CM should write someone who knows better CM, i only tried a few times and do not want to give advice about.

If you think that i did not understand you, or you may have a specific text that should be contained in the FAQ, please to be free to write in reply or in PM .

Thank you !
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
Well 15Mail, Thanks answering. :)

That is OK. me too.

I Think I will tell you more Later ;)

Does the PC OS (windows 7) recognize the phone as Android? (for transfer photos-music, etc) ?

Is the battery life same as WinMo6.5.3?

Thank you in advance!
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
Hi redeye998, Nice to see you again. Precondition that Widovs 7 recognized the phone is; you need to install "HTC Sync" however I've never used it, instead I use "MyPhoneExplorer".

Battery life is like in windows mobile and better - do not expect that you notice it immediately but after a few days, and several reboot, everything should fall into place and then you should see a true picture of battery consumption, and in general.

PS: if you want to try android, make detailed investigation of this page:

http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/

... there you will find a tutorial, open issue, status of development, source code, and more
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
no is not the same
