hello everybody, i am a little newby here but i like to twek my phone. i read a lot that CM7 ROM versions are better than Bravo ROM better and way faster so i want to install it. im currently on Reflex S Bravo version. So i must change my hboot version first to CM7, but how can i do that? im allready s-off although i dont know what it means, i see that in the bootloader. so how to change hboot to CM7?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aca85:
Very easy.

Just go to alpharev.nl and scroll down to the Hboot table and download the Cm7 hboot.

After that check/verify the md5 checksum (using some program,i use WinMd5sum,it's free,but only for WinXp/7 ,no mac/linux version).

And then just follow the instruction on that site ,it's below the hboot table :) happy flashing.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
When I receive a call, it rings for about half a second and I can't answer it. It goes to my GV voicemail. I can't answer the call.

I thought, man if GV is this buggy I'm going to just use the T-Mo voicemail service. So in Call Settings I switched back to my carrier. But still, when I call my phone, it rings for half a second, then goes to GV voicemail. WTF.

So I went to GV settings and found my forwarding phone in the Phones tab and I clicked on "Deactivate GV on my phone." It said I had to go to my phone and type ##004#. So I did that and nothing happened. Still same problems.

This is really annoying because a) I can't answer my calls, b) I don't get any missed call notifications.

Can anyone help me?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
I turned off call screening and I get my calls now. But my missed call notifications are coming from Google Voice. WTF.

Also I have my voicemail set back to My Carrier still and if I call myself I get GV Voicemail.

Even if I had DND enabled.... Why would it block calls TO MY MOBILE NUMBER?

All I want GV to do with my mobile number is forward calls from my GV number.

Have you tried to change your settings via the web. Going to your Google voice account and change your voicemail options. Although it sounds like you need to change your cm forwarding on your phone. Go to T-Mobiles site for instructions or call T-Mobile.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Evo_Shift:
Anyone else use the Calendar Snooze app? I seem to be having a problem where the app will not fire the reminder if I am using a yearly reminder on a 1 week notification. I only have a couple of these specific reminders set to yearly but it is important I don't forget them... Anniversary is a big one, a couple of important birthdays and my property taxes are a few of the examples ;) I need that week lead up time to get stuff in the mail, LOL. And since Calendar Snooze completely takes over the calendar notifications I cannot simply turn those few exceptions back to stock.

I guess I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

Thanks

My phone is stock rooted.

Edit - Well I just tested it one more time for the hell of it and it worked so maybe it is just a little flaky or something. Makes me nervous to trust it though.

ffs not this crap again, how many topics do we need about this?

Its been said in the past and ill say it to you, this is 100% the same as somebody selling a book about how to install linux!

Yes the info is freely available here on XDA and many other places but so is tutorials on how to install/use linux but you still get people selling books on it or paid support services or paid installations/configurations etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ricksmith:
That's kind of messed up, because they can do that for free. But, his approach is more simple as in, "Here is what you download, and what to do" vs. finding your preferred ROM to download, etc. Like you said, I just hope that he is not selling someone elses work.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] koflem:
Can you please read the stickies before posting? try to post in the right section... this definitely does not belong in development.

If you want roms and kernels, well... there are a lot of them right on this forum, just search a bit and experiment. The reason why there are a lot of them is because there's no "best" rom/kernel, just find one that you prefer.

There's a list of ROMs and kernels in the stickies, too.

Hi all.

Looking for some serious help. Coming from a Samsung vibrant. I need help with how to save battery life on the sensation. I have been off charger for 5 hours and 51 minutes and am down to 41%. Is this normal? I have been only texting really. I got my data from battery monitor.

Thanks in advance. Anyway to make this better?
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
It all depends on what you're using the phone for. I'm at 55% after 12 hours. yesterday I got 17 hours. if all you're doing us texting then no,thats not normal. but I suspect you're probably doing more with it than you realize since its a new toy.
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
He prolly has running wifi as well?
[HTC Sensation] bcpk:

[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Stop Android from phoning home and you'll save greatly on battery life.

Best way I've found to prevent battery drain, is to stop Android from phoning home.

Once you use an app like Autostarts to stop unnecessary things from starting up all the time on their own and also block a couple ports that are not always needed via an app like DroidWall, you'll see great battery life. Also see other details in that link of things I turned off to increase battery life amoung other benefits.

For now, I can only speak for seeing the difference while using a Nexus One ROM on my HD2, but I have way better battery life, GPS lock times and faster device boot ups than ever before.

This is yet another one of the reasons I must wait till the Sensation is rooted and unlocked. Because I'm not using it while it's running things I can't better manage, so they don't drain my battery.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
How did u get that much? I have battery monitor as a widget. I also did not charge the phone all the way up when I first got it.
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Well to be honest for the 8 hours I'm at work, I use it light. texting, a few calls and about 30 minutes of reading pulse and playing games. However the next 8-9 hours I would consider moderate to heavy use. I have no monitors or anything running, just running straight out of the box.

I'm at 34% after 14.5 hours today.

I charged it fully the first day, ran it to 0, then charged it fully again last night.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
Did draining it out help? It is really killing my battery. When my phone idles it loses about 7 percent an hour. Is this normal?
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Mine is at most 3% per hour so I would say check if you have any running apps that aren't supposed to be.

I suppose draining could have helped but I have no way of knowing for sure
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
Yeah I killed my battery in 12 hours with decent use and then charged to 88 had to go but now down to 35 three hours later ....thinking of draining battery and then charging
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
I think custom kernel can improve battery a lot..Wait:)
[HTC Sensation] baymon:
I think mine's even worse. Phone was off charger at 100% at 11am, by 1:30PM it's already down to 80%ish. By 4PM it was down to 40%ish, got it charged up to about 70%ish around 6PM, by midnight I was around 6% again.

So I think I'm losing around 10%/hr. That's gotta be abnormal, and the battery gets really hot too. At the moment, I have several speculations:

1. Death grip causing the phone to work harder to find signal, and tmo's coverage kinda sucks in my town

2. I have defective unit/battery

3. Some apps behind the scene are killing it. But I've checked what's running behind, even turned off unnecessary stuff using autorun manager. Auto sync is turned of only for gmails. Weather, IMAP mails, pulse, facebook etc are set to pull in couple hrs instead hourly. The battery life cannot be worse than my 2-yr old HD2.
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
Hey guys. Have you considered bump charging. HTC advised the idea for the HTC desire battery and it in most cases doubles the battery.

Sorry I can't be more specific bit I'm on my phone. I have found the relevant link. Read the 1st post. I'm gonna do it when I get in from my gig.

Bump charging kills the battery in long run.

[HTC Sensation] phburks:
I'd suggest uninstalling battery monitor. I had installed it on my g2x and immediately saw my battery percentage drajning more quickly. Probably because its always running in the background.

The best tip I can give for better battery life is to minimize what you allow to run in the background. Get rid of any task killers, set Facebook/Twitter/Email/etc to sync less frequently, turn off wifi if you're not using it so its not scanning for networks, and so on.

Also install juice defender from the Market. Its free. It has greatly increased my battery life.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
I tried juice defender. Didn't know how to set it up properly. What are good settings for that? And thanks for your help everyone.
[HTC Sensation] phburks:
I installed the Plus version because it allows wifi control. I just use the default settings except I change so it doesn't disable wifi. I do that because I use wifi calling at home so I dont want Juice Defender turning off my wifi. I always turn it off manually when I leave the house anyway.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
Balanced settings? Or whatever it is called?
[HTC Sensation] phburks:
Yea Balanced Settings is good if you don't mind it managing your wifi too. In the Plus version I selected Customize instead of Balanced. The only thing I changed was the wifi setting. There's a ton more settings to configure but the default ones work fine for me and I don't have the patience to sift through them all anyway lol
[HTC Sensation] animaleyes76:
I agree but recommend you take the time to set up each setting on customise mode and you'll be amazed how much extra battery you save fr!!om the default values. Only takes about 5 mins :)
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
I love it. I like how it shuts off mobile and still rings.when I get a text or call. How do I get it to ring that way for gmail?
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Anybody using CurrentWidget to see how much battery drain there is even when the device is in sleep mode? I'd like to know.

Currently on my HD2 with a NexusOne/NexusS ROM. I'm averaging 2-4mA when the device is sleep and it goes up about 90mA per app I have running simultaneously.

[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
Green Power free manages the wifi really well, it seems to shut it down when it's not in use and saves loads of power compared with if it was on all the time :cool:
[HTC Sensation] ekerbuddyeker:
I think 7 to 10% per hour SOUNDS FANTASTIC when compared to practically every other latest and greatest android device. I have an Atrix and that drops 10%per hour, and this has a 1950mah battery. I had the SGS2 and I couldn't manage 6 hours our if it. Awful. I think you should all look at other forums before complaining about 10% per hour! Just my 2c.
[HTC Sensation] Flippy125:
I thought the same thing after the first day of owning it. Then I looked at the battery stats and my display was on for 6 hours. I guess I was just playing with my shiny new toy so much I lost track of time. Remember Android keeps track of battery capacity, it should even out after a week of good use
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
I think that something is keeping display on when in sleep ....I'm def eating more battery than what should be and I it shows me from display and I know that's not case
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
agreed. my display has to be on or something. anyway, i tried installing green power. liking it so far. i very rarely have wifi on though. green power is already showing an increase. is this accurate even though i don't have wifi on a lot?
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
Showing increase in what?
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:

CurrentWidget does not appear in the market for the Sensation unfortunately.
[HTC Sensation] makomek:
Doesn't Current Widget need to be root?
[HTC Sensation] phburks:
Yea I suppose I should take the time to look through the rest of the settings. I started once and then my adhd kicked in and I ended up playing some game. Lol
[HTC Sensation] phburks:
Is the qhd screen known to consume a lot of battery? I remember with my Nexus One's amoled display it didn't seem to matter how much or little the display was on, it ALWAYS was the at the very top of the list under Battery Use on my phone.

I don't know much about qhd displays so I wonder if they just inherently use a lot of battery? Hope someone with more knowledge can shed some light.
[HTC Sensation] jagaroth:
By default the phone shuts down one CPU and clocks the other right down. (around350Mhz). If you have that short a battery life you either have a dodgy battery or an app running that saps the battery.
[HTC Sensation] baymon:
I didn't even notice that it's not in the market as I guess I was installing it from backups.

It kinda explains though, current widget doesn't show the usage when it's on battery. But for some reason it'll show the usage when it's charged, and even more surprising, it's showing like 500-700ish mah usage when it's charged. That's also when it's hot btway.

Another observation that I made today, I turned off the Auto Sync completely for couple hours, phone was cool. Turned it on, immediately phone gets warm, even on wifi.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Shame to find out it does not work with the Sensation yet. I suspect in time the developer will provide an update that is compatible with the Sensation. They usually have to do this from time to time with new devices.

No it does not require root.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yea, it's definetely not working on the Sensation then. I'm sure you know when on a charger it should be showing 0mA. Given the battery is not being drained.
[HTC Sensation] NoModE:
Currentwidget is in Market now, and is working for Sensation :)

Something will not sleep when in standby.

245mA in standby is to much.

On my HD2 i had 3-5mA in standby with ROM from m-deejay running from SD-Card
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I get about 10hrs daily. I use my phone all day. I think its good for a dual core. I drained my battery once and than used battery calibration app to wipe stats and I noticed it running well on life afterwards.

Turn off location

The above could be a cause of heavy drain, particularly when the display's off and it 'should' be sleeping.
[HTC Sensation] Tirozz:
Strangest thing happened to me, after the FOTA (I think at least). I noticed that my WiFi reception was better , since I now always had a connection, a bad one though with only one white point. Anyway, I was suddenly losing around 8% p/hour while phone was sleeping. I have always had ´Best Wi-Fi Performance´ enabled, but it didn´t work for the Wi-Fi in my room. I now had a Wi-Fi connection after the update, it seemed like this option wasn´t really working before but is actively working after the FOTA. After turning it of my phone went back to 2-3% an hour, which is normal, even when I still was connected to the Wi-Fi!

As I seem to be one of the few that experienced worse battery life after the update this might come in useful.
