i think the battery life is based on playing 720p video at a certain screen brightness(60 nips or nits i think but i have no clue what that means) of course you can get more life depending on what you're using

and i guess everyone has different opinions on acceptable drain but i wouldn't expect my laptop to last more than 2 days if its internet connection is on and sync'ing so why expect a tablet? laptops(that i've used) shut off connections and do nothing when left alone to save battery

people who need their tablet to last for days while not in use(or very minimal use) should just turn off wifi(or turn off the tablet) when you're not going to use it for hours... or leave it charging
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 4dthinker:
Concerning battery drain of the keyboard dock when the tablet is sleeping:

There is a setting SCREEN>MobileDock Battery Saving Mode.

"Disables wake-up function on keyboard when the device is asleep to save more power"

I have to assume this setting should be checked. If not, that may be why your battery doesn't last long when asleep.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] no1_cdn:
Asus states 9.5h (9h30m) battery life on tablet alone, see bottom of this page, *1:

http://usa.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/

they tested 720p video @ 60 nits (lowest screen brightness), I think with wifi on.

prior to 3.1 update I've been getting 9h15m to 9h25m per charge.

I use the TF for 2-3 hours at a time and shut it off (not put to sleep) when not using.

since 3.1 the best I got was 8h15m on a charge (same type of use as before).

I went through TF settings, i monitor the apps, got rid of all my Widgets and still am getting over an hour less per charge than before 3.1 update....

there has got to be some kind of a bug in the new release.

granted, there are some welcome improvements in 3.1, but this battery life issue bugs me :-)

I hope Asus fixes it in the next update.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] EtherBoo:
I really hate to be "that guy", but who cares?

As long as it lasts through a day of normal use, you charge it at night, and that's that. I never understood the obsession with "My device gets 5 days without a charge!" Good for you. Those of us who have electrical outlets only need 1 day. Unless you're doing something special that requires you to be away from an electrical outlet for several days at a time, it really shouldn't matter. If that is the case, it's probably your responsibility to look into ways of saving power.

Cutting WiFi while inactive is one solution. Keeping it charged while idle is another.

Stand by doesn't mean 0 battery is used, it means less battery is used. I'd say 50% is pretty decent after 24 hours of inactivity.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Excalisnake:
Hello XDA,

I currently have the HTC Aria (Rooted) and I was wondering if I should get the HTC Inspire 4G. I have been considering it for a while and my upgrade date is in a few months and I was wondering, is this a great phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Johnn_ares:
In my opinion yes the Inspire is a great phone but if you still have to wait a few months; HTC has some new stuff coming down the pipe Dual core, 4.5" screens, Ect... Although by the time you upgrade the Inspire will more than likely be free while your other options will not. As for what AT&T has out there right now I would still pick the Inspire. Even if they would have not screwed up my change from Alltel and gave them to me for free to keep me happy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tmcfarland:
I had the Aria and now have the Inspire. The difference in size and weight took some gettting used to, but the Inspire is a great phone with a much better selection of ROMs. I have no regrets whatsoever.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hungmung:
I agree with tmcfarland. I came from an aria and I love it. Plus there have been no problems getting used to it other then the size difference. Just be sure if you root to read everything through it is a little more involved than the aria but still very doable.

Sent through the power of Cthulhu.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
This is the best phone eva! Now seriously it is a pretty beastly phone, speeds are great, screen quality is great, data speeds are the best your going to get until LTE and the build quality is amazing along with DEV support. Thats all you need to know:cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
my favorite phone so far! although my second best is the blackjack 2 so this is really in a different world.

camera is amazing too...

like its been said waiting will offer a newer htc phone but its prolly gonna cost you where as this inspire might be a free phone when your due
[HTC Inspire 4G] Excalisnake:
Thanks guys, I went to an At&t store in my area to check the phone out, it seems pretty cool. And does anyone suggest a specific ROM, I have been looking at some extremely great ones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
I have enjoyed Gingerbeast for a whole week already, world record fot me...but i would also recommend honeysense, 2.1 sense mixed with 3.0
[HTC Inspire 4G] eramming:
I'm going against the grain here and not recommend this phone. I'm on my third phone. Im not hard on them at all. The speakerphone and freezing problems is why I returned the first one. The second one the screen totally went out. Both were stock. My current version is rooted and custom and so far no problems. It does drop calls but that may just be the service although never had q problem with my previous device. The battery is puny and you will need a charger with you at all times. I give the phone a 6 out of 10.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Excalisnake:
Hey, I'm almost always around a charger and my battery on my Aria isn't so great either, so do you see me complaining?
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
When will you have the phone? For now I would recommend trying something like miui, very much like iPhone and completely different from the other inspire roms.

Definitely try gingerbeast, super fast.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oxlong27:
Tpgb is a great rom. I just got an inspire after having a captivate and my wife has an aria I would def get the inspire I thought my cappy was nice but the inspire blows it away. Im on tpgb rom now and my battery life is better than any cappy rom ive rver been on and it is ridiculously fast

Sent from my inspire running tpgb or captivate running cm7
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
Wait. I have the aria and 2 inspires and would tell you to wait. The phone has issues, but I will say I still love it. Looks like the sensation is coming to ATT and lord willing maybe the sgs2 . If you think battery life on the aria is bad your really in for a bad surprise with the inspire. They have the same size battery.

Performance wise the inspire is rock solid, on par with the dual core beasts. I can run the tegra and gameloft games without a hitch. But the cell signal, WiFi, and definetly Bluetooth performance is sub par. It is a phone afterall. The speaker is bad, unusable for videos without the volume apk. I honestly think the metal body is what hinders the radio. Most have issues with the screen, my two included. Hell a case can kill Bluetooth as can your Hand covering the side.

Not trying to poop all over our beloved gadget, just telling it like it is. Go into any if the forum here and ask the opinion of that phone. I promise you it will be 90% positive, except the atrix. Lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] DPLOY:
I still use my Aria and I have the Inspire...The Aria is good in the car because I can control everything with one hand and my thumb...cant with the Inspire.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JohnM109R:
Hey guys I'm having a hard time setting the Home screen or the lock screen...

What I mean is that when you hold down on the screen and choose gallery and the pic your pic it only gives you that stupid yellow section to choose from... so when you click on the yellow line to choose it and expand it only gives what you choose...cause it won't allow you to choose anymore.... I hope you understand what i'm saying

Is there something I'm missing here?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
You need a launcher like lauchnerpro which disables "wallpaper scrolling"...then use the app "crop wallpaper" from market.

So after all that chaos that happened a few days ago here it finally is. I would personally like to thank all of you guys that were sensitive to the situation and refrained from downloading, flashing, and or distributing this radio when it was stolen and pre-maturely leaked. Good things always come for those who wait.

This radio will ONLY work on our Gingerbread build!!! IT WILL NOT WORK WITH FROYO (The MR1).

Download

MD5: 4072b5954bf0032103b62c5ae69cb13e

Approx. 26 MB​

This radio has shown significant improvements in multiple areas and seems to cure the reboot issue a lot of us were experiencing on GB.

Instructions:

1. Download and rename to PG05IMG.zip

2. Place on root of SD card

3. Flash from hboot

Enjoy!

Note: This radio does not mean that Gingerbread is near. It actually is no where close. This radio was pulled from the MR2 which is also Froyo. The reason why this works with Gingerbread is because it is using the same RIL as the MR2. The MR1 uses an outdated RIL which is why this radio will NOT work with it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] burkett375:
Thanks! can you post the MD5 please?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Its running GREAT so far
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Thank you very much to all the devs for the hard work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
One of us will drop the full RUU this came from in a bit, there are some things in the famework we are looking at first.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang02:
Yeah same for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
"This radio will ONLY work on our Gingerbread build" ... does that mean the Gingeritis ROM only, or the leaked build all the GB ROMs are based off of? Sorry for such a stupid question lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Sweet...this is what I'm waiting for. Thanks guys (chingy and jcase!)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
It is working now!.. :)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ska.t73:
What ROM are you running?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] htowngator:
I guess I misstated what I meant... I meant that if you don't want to risk the new GB ROMs and rather stick with Froyo builds then you have to wait for the updated RUU with new RIL information.

I am still not sold on GB for this phone yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wctaylor79:
So.. First thanks Chingy and Jcase for what you do. Second, installed on Gingeritis and works perfect. Now it might be justme, but seems that the issues that I was having with Pandora on GB ROM's have been resolved with this new radio. Just thought I would share for anyone that might be interested to know.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] icedmayhem:
So far so good here. Central nj. no 4g by mw. Stronger 3g signal at my house went from 2/3 to a solid 4. Battery life a little better seems. O yaa, running bamf2t5 on latest imo 3.0.1 kernal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothamexican:
thx for the response
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Grizzly420:
sorry. Please delete
[Thunderbolt Android Development] StormFreak:
Everything seems to be running fine for me except for 4G. It connects, and works occasionally, but it feels like it is constantly stalling or cutting out. I've wiped and seen the same behavior on 2 different ROMS (Gingeritis and BAMF GingerRemix)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] inkdaddy66:
I think that may be the prob. I'll remove the .zip from the file name since it is a zip file

Tbolt meatclaws-talkatap
[Thunderbolt Android Development] inkdaddy66:
Lol. Thank you

[Thunderbolt Android Development] cuguy:
Jcase mentioned a full leaked RUU, should've quoted that. So... is this build out of beta yet?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] StormFreak:
Can someone running this new radio test going into the browser and simply going to www.google.com on 4G? I am able to connect to other sites fine, and can connect to Google on 3G, but when I switch to 4G it won't load... Strange.

EDIT: It appears to be connecting now, but it did not connect for quite some time... It appeared all Google services were behaving this way as well (Maps and GTalk would not load). This appeared on 2 different ROMS using this radio.

EDIT 2: It looks like 4G is just strange for me. Other sites would randomly stop loading. 4G is randomly dropping. I wonder what the issue is?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] destroyerbmx:
Htc support is good, but xda is better. I installed this at work since they gave us the go ahead.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mudavo:
What app are you using to view charging info?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Battery life with this radio is awesome.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] project.in.process:
had the same problem on www.google.com, when attempting to access "speakeasy.speedtest" to do a test of LTE. took forrrrrever.

my 4g is also spotty at best, compared to previously solid coverage areas.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
URGENT!!!

Guys.. I had installed the new GB radio given out today by Jcase and Chingy.. I'm on DasBamf GB beta 5.. which I've been running since it came out without any problem... AFter installing the new radio things seemed fine.. but my phone shut down in the middle of a phone conversation.. When I powered it back up.. it boots up.. but powers down again after it reaches the lock screen.. This is happening repeatedly.. just thought I'll let you guys know.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arelas:
Come to IRC. irc.andirc.net #thunderbolt

We'll look at that bootloop for you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Hmmm that doesnt sound right. can you get into the bootloader?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
This radio is great everything just works and works and works , not even one reboot .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oc3rulz:
Nope, www.google.com does not load for me either on 4G! I thought it was me too!

1: 4G is still testing 7-12Mbps down and 4-6Mbps Up for me

2: GPS locked 7/7 indoors here in > 30secs

3: Battery life is even better

4: Charging is much much faster thank god! (was taking between 6-7hrs to fully charge)

5: 4G locks within 30secs if I shut down or reboot the phone (CDMA +LTE/EvDO auto)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] project.in.process:
now that's some service right there
[Thunderbolt Android Development] destroyerbmx:
I have new radio with new preview 2 and no problems, but I didn't have problems before.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
It boot loops after like 3 or 4 seconds after boot up.. I managed to go into rom manager and I am now restoring my previous backup.

One thing I forgot to mention.. I had upgraded the kernel to Imosyn's latest build 3...

I'll report back after the back up is restored (which will still have the new radio of course) and let you guys know if the problem has gone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] marcusblade:
This is great. 4G signal is stronger, battery doesn't get as hot, and battery life seems to be better. I am in the Detroit metro area where 4G is very strong.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KDKobes:
sounds like the same reboot issue people would get when changing kernels lately. wiping everything is a big deal when changing anything you do.

updage**well I was right on the money then, it was after the kernel change. by chance did you do a wipe including battery stats prior to installing it???**
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
aha!.. so it IS the new kernel that I installed then. I did wipe Dalvik Cache (and only that.. nothing else).. when I installed Imoseyon's 3.1 kernel.. so perhaps that's what caused it.

Anyway.. back to the "stock" Kernel of Bamf GB.. and things are back to normal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Now u know what u gotta do :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KDKobes:
EVERYTHING needs to be wiped. If not you get that exact issue on the occasion and its a b!tch to stop it. *BATTERY STATS NEED WIPED WHEN CHANGING KERNELS* and I recommend doing it multiple times.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nolmt60243:
A clean install, things are working great. GPS is same, charging appears to be faster, mms 5mb works again. Thank you chingy for taking the time to make sure this was stable enough for us common folks to use.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
When you say everything.. do you mean data & cache too? Battery stats and dalvik is no problem.. but I wouldn't want to wipe EVERYTHING just for a kernel upgrade.. so I'll stay away from changing kernels I guess.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KDKobes:
technically you should be wiping any time you install through recovery as there can be errors by overwriting

I MEANT CACHE i dunno where the data came in at(im confusing myself:o)...NO DATA/FACTORY RESET IS TO CLEAR IT COMPLETELY...ATLEAST NEED TO WIPE THE BATTERY STATS...every time I have ran into this issue it relates back to the

battery stats

.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ska.t73:
You should never wipe data when changing kernels, or you will not have a ROM to boot up. If you are installing a kernel you should wipe cache, and davlviks cache. Wiping battery stats is a good idea but should only really be done when the battery is fully charged.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rndchef:
I had this problem yesterday afternoon on old GB radio & Gingeritis. Other sites loaded fine but Google would not load. just sat there. restarted phone and no change.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turb0wned:
Install aborted.. Tried installing and renaming a few times....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
That is my thinking too.. if I wipe data.. it is akin to doing a factory reset .. I would have the rom.. but it would go back to default rom settings..

anyway.. thanks for tips and help guys..

EDIT: WTF!!.. phone rebooted AGAIN!!!!.

Edit: Not reboot.. but it keeps powering off! (yes battery has enough charge).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bL33d:
Bit the bullet earlier and finally flashed a gb rom since the new radio came i thought might aswell give her a try.

Flashed radio and then latest bamf GB and everything seems great will comment on battery life after a full charge and battery stats wipe.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
Anyone else having problems getting the site to load to download the radio?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] R1lover:
any word on this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tornadog:
I was on Cubed 1.2.3. I installed Gingeritis Beta IX through recovery. Then while in recovery, I rebooted into bootloader and flashed the MR2 radio. So far, its been going ok. Battery seems to be draining a lot faster compared to Froyo, but I am going to let it charge to full, and then do a batterystats wipe.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KDKobes:
Probably just overloaded..try this one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oc3rulz:
yeah the first time is awful time till you wipe battery stats, then the battery life is amazing!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madzozs:
I believe I saw one of the devs(possibly jcase) say it could be a few days. They are still looking through it all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Archangel:
This is just simply too new and there are some that may be boot looping to test out now, maybe hold off until it is more stable for me after the recent GB scare.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kriskmk:
even after restoring an older GB backup with the stock kernel.. my phone is powering off like crazy... I'm gonna try a few wiping activities and see how it goes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Bro come here http://chat.andirc.net:9090/?channels=thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oc3rulz:
flash a different radio, Froyo one and go back to stock rooted. See if the problem persists. If it doesn't then you know it radio related. Otherwise if you know anyone with a Thunderbolt Battery, try and grab one to test that see if that stops the problem now, before flashing everything back
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hackercity:
If we want to go back to Froyo. Where do I get the radio for MR1?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ska.t73:
Ok so I was having an issue trying to link the Swiftkey Beta to my Facebook and gmail accounts. I went into the lte on off app to see what the radio was doing. Ran a ping test and this is what I'm getting:

PingIpAddr: Pass

Ping Hostname(www.google.com): Pass

HTTP Client test: Unknown

It remains unknown and does the same thing every time I try a ping test, anyone have any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KDKobes:
bet its a kernel configuration file...grub.conf??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hackercity:
NVM. Found it!! That search bar is a nifty idea...

IMPRESSED!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] luke1333:
Is there really a point to flash this radio? I've been on the other gb radio since it was released even through all the bricking crap I still kept it and running flawlessly! charging yes isn't that fast but doesn't bother me cause it charges only overnight so any real advantage for me to go this radio?

Sent from HTC Thunderbolt 4G on Gingeritis IX
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Smok3d:
yes, faster charging, less hot on battery, you can send MMS, etc. the radio is better overall, switch NOW.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] techspecs:
Google is testing IPv6 today for world IPv6 day. Could be the issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Icey34:
Okay so I really want to get a GB Rom, and can you guys tell me really quickly how safe this radio is? Like is it possible for it to brick ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ska.t73:
Everyone that is having the google.com and weird connection issues. It seems that there are reports that VZW 4G is acting weird in certain areas. People are saying that even the test phones in VZW stores are doing the same things. It doesn't look like this is a radio issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] techspecs:
If I have the dont-use-me radio flashed now, will flashing this leak over it brick me since it's the same? I'm getting weird lockups and want to freshen as much as possible on my wipe. I know the incredible had a brick issue if you double flashed the same radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] amosavitas:
not the case with the bolt, flash away
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KDKobes:
its the exact same one just tested before release so it wont change anything
[Thunderbolt Android Development] davezaff:
I had same issue charge light on but locked up.....fully charged though. Battery pull fixed things, possibly a kernel issue with low voltage of 184 mhz
