[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0HNiE:
Hi,

i've searched the web, searched here in the forums for a good guide on how to calibrate your battery, but i found many guides for many phones, so i just looking to find the right way of doing it for my phone.

i own a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 i have MCG v6 MIUI ROM with NEO 06 Kernel with it.

i also have a 3500 mAh battery with my phone.

every time i flash a new rom i wipe the battery stats, i tend to charge my phone everytime i get a chance, trying to keep it as high as possible. i also tend to let my battery run out, then charge it all the way up once a month.

i also notice how every time i shut down my device or take out the battery i lose about 5%~.

so if anyone can guide me the right way of calibrating my battery it will be great and much appreciated. thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chablo12:
I do have same phone with 3000mah battery, I amusing the phone for aabout an year, installed various updates, custom ROMs, nightlies...etc..

I never done a battery caliberation.

Every time when you get a chance, charging your phone is wrong, it will kill your battery soon.

Read this carefully

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...bump-charging-and-inconsistent-battery-drain/

it is quite normal to see a 5% power loss after reboot, but it is an incorrect reading.

After flashing a new ROM or updating, best option is do not plug into a charger. Allow your phone on standby and turn off some unwanted features, if not in use like, GPS, background sync etc.... Ideally you should turn them off before updating, allowing your modem to start with minimal load, so it can rewrite dalvik cache with minimum error.

Within few hours after updating, batterystats will get back to normal. I atleast give 6 hrs before I plug into charger.

Thanks

I just received my GS2 like 2 hours ago, and put it to charging right away.

It says the recommended first-charge is 12 hours. But already now, it's fully charged (It was about 50% when I put it to charge)

Should I wait 12 hours or just remove the charger and start to use it? :confused:

Like I said, this is the first charge. The phone is brand new, never used or anything.

Just wondering what it does and what kernel everyone else has?. Only coz i been learning to install the different custom roms ...but in the "About Phone" options the Kernel Version never seems to change...even tho the custom roms i install say that they have added a new kernel?...

anyway my kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf

thats what it says anyway...does that mean anything? should i update it somehow?

what are you using?

Thanks.

i think kernel is related to power...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AlexxxR:
"In computing, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). Usually as a basic component of an operating system, a kernel can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially processors and I/O devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls."

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
Changelog:

2.0.1 (October 9, 2011):

Tweak webtop-configurator for the Photon's sources.list.

2.0.0 (October 8, 2011):

Multi-device support.

1.1.2 (October 2, 2011):

Fix busybox pathing issues.

1.1.1 (October 2, 2011): Long overdue bugfix:

Use busybox from /system if present.

1.1.0 (July 24, 2011): Gingerbread update:

If busybox is not present (*cough* Gingerbread *cough*), install it in /system/etc/webtop2sd so that the webtop2sd mount application can run properly.

Add a Diagnostics tab. At the moment, it shows this information:

webtop2sd version

Mount executable version (and corresponding source)

Whether or not the webtop2sd busybox is installed

The webtop configurator version

Currently mounted webtops

Add a "Reinstall mount executable" button.

Fix the "Install webtop configurator" button and rename it to "Reinstall mount executable".

With the increasing number of buttons, landscape mode on the Execution tab is becoming unusable. So, hide buttons when executing (except for one that makes it obvious that it's executing).

Expand the target tree in webtop configurator by default to make it more clear what options are available.

Swap over to using old-releases.ubuntu.com instead of jp.archive.ubuntu.com.

When rotating within webtop2sd, tab state is no longer lost.

When installing webtop configurator, don't choke if the /usr/local/share/pixmaps already exists.

1.0.0 (July 10, 2011): First "real" release:

webtop configurator now bundled.

Uninstallation implemented.

Workaround added for looping dock segfaults.

webtop2sd (the Android application) no longer has a reliance on busybox.

0.9.1 (June 29, 2011): Miscellaneous bug fixes:

Fixes for SmarTone-Vodafone 4.5.2.

Devices below 1 GB are no longer listed for partitioning.

If a target partition for synchronization isn't selected, synchronization won't be attempted.

The progress bar can now handle device rotation without losing state.

There is now a reminder to reboot after synchronization.

0.9.0 (June 26, 2011): Implementation of 95% of the final featureset. Partitioning and synchronization are no longer mutually exclusive operations.

Dropped features (deemed as a better fit for the companion program):

Fix Ubuntu packages

Fix APT source lists

Restrain APT dependencies

Known problems:

Boot from sd* not working.

Uninstall not working.

Companion program not written yet.

0.5.0 (June 11, 2011): UI prototype, although the UI should be fully functional (i.e. all menus should show accurate information). Of course, clicking on the "Go!" button doesn't actually do anything....

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
Partition Instructions:

Depending upon your operating system, free software may be available so that you can partition and format your device without losing all the data on it. When you partition it, I recommend that you have your FAT32 partition first, and any extfs partitions later. I would also recommend using ext3 as your extfs filesystem type (the Olympus kernel doesn't support ext4, so any potential benefits it could offer are lost).

Linux: gparted (you probably already have this installed)

Mac OS X: ?

Windows: MiniTool Partition Wizard

Warning: If you're worried about the number of write cycles on your SD card, you're probably best off copying all the data off, partitioning, then copying all the data back, as repartitioning tends to hit your SD card pretty heavily. That said, I personally am not worried, but it's your respective calls on this one. :D

Instructions: Windows

Those of you using Linux probably have a pretty good idea of how to use gparted, so I'll skip those for now. Here's a quick runthrough for Windows on how to partition your SD card. You'll need an SD card reader, of course.

If you take a look at your SD card in Computer Management/Disk Management, you'll have doubtless noticed that you don't have the traditional partitioning options available there that are there for "proper" hard drives.

View attachment 651142

So we'll need to use a different tool - in this case, the MiniTool Partition Wizard mentioned above.

This is what my MiniTool Partition Wizard screen looks like when I have an 8 GB SD card inserted. As you can see, there's currently one single FAT32 partition present.

View attachment 651143

When you right click on the partition, you'll see a Move/Resize option. That's the one you want to select for non-destructive partitioning.

View attachment 651144

At that point, you can select how large you want your partition to be. You want to make sure that the "Unallocated Space Before" stays at 0.00 MB, so that the new partition will be the second one. In my case, I've opted to create a 4 GB partition as the second partition.

View attachment 651145

Once that has been set up, right click on the Unallocated space, then select Create.

View attachment 651146

We're not worried about the warning that Windows throws up, particularly since we know we'll be creating a partition that Windows can't read anyways. :p So just hit Yes.

View attachment 651147

Create the second partition at the maximum size with the following settings:

Create As: Primary

File System: Ext3

View attachment 651148

After that's done, click on the Apply Changes button.

View attachment 651149

And now you're done! Put the card back into your Motorola Olympus.

Known webtop2sd Issues:

Major:

On some devices, the AWN dock can go into an infinite segfault loop. (Partially fixed in 1.0.0, "proper" fix pending?)

The companion Python/Gtk program doesn't exist yet. 1.0.0

The "Install webtop configurator" button does nothing. 1.1.0

webtop2sd is unable to boot from an SD card without busybox. 1.1.0

Moderate:

External storage other than the microSD card can't be used as a boot device.

Detection of root privileges doesn't work properly.

busybox is only ever detected from /system/etc/webtop2sd. 1.1.1/1.1.2

Uninstallation isn't implemented. 1.0.0

It's not always easy to find out which webtop partitions are currently being used. 1.1.0

Minor:

Localization? Should be easy, since everything is stored in appropriate resource files....

You can selected devices to partition that are smaller than 1 GB. 0.9.1

If no target partition is selected (i.e. the option is greyed out), you can still try to generate a new webtop partition. 0.9.1

Known webtop configurator Issues:

Major:

What the hell is webtop configurator doing?! Status is a must.

Moderate:

jp.archive.ubuntu.com isn't an ideal mirror to pull from. old-releases.ubuntu.com is a better choice. 1.1.0

Minor:

Having the selection tree on the left fully expanded on boot would be nice, so that it's immediately obvious what options are available. 1.1.0
