[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
There are lots of things to consider about your battery life. If you look at your batter use on your phone does it show anything that might be suspiciously draining battery more than normal? If you're using Imo's kernel you can type "12" into the terminal when you are changing governors to see the stats of how long your phone is staying at different frequencies, does it show a high amount of time spent at the higher frequencies? How long does your phones display stay on for?

There are so many things that can drain the battery its ridiculous and randomly I will have severe drains at times that are only solved by a reboot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
eraursls1984, do you have an extended battery? How much battery life are you getting?

Beastclaw, battery use seems normal - nothing out of the ordinary or suspicious is really eating at my battery. As I said before, I am currently running InteractiveX and at Extreme mode, and these are my states at different frequencies:

245760: 2102206

368640: 409810

768000: 58113

1024000: 263351

1222400: 12737

1408000: 72575

1593600: 0

1766400: 0

1920000: 0

Seems that nothing is really running too much on high frequencies, mainly on the lower end. My phone display is supposed to stay on for, I believe, 2 minutes, but whenever I am doing using it, I always lock it.

I heard Autostarts was a good app that could help with battery life and performance (and I was warned to not change any system settings), but I am trying to see if maybe there is anything else I can do to figure out why my battery seems to not last as long as other batteries.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
You can try using an app from the market called "CurrentWidget" It allows you to log how much power your phone is using at different intervals of time. My phone generally runs at 40-60mA when the screen is off and its not doing anything and between 400-600mA when the screen is on and I am running tasks. You can use the log to check to make sure your phone isnt drawing too much power in the down state. It even shows you the stats in a nifty little graph form :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
I have a stock battery and with normal use I get 12-14 hours compared to about 4 when I was completely stock. When I use my phone heavily, constant browsing, I get about 4 hours compared to less than 2 stock. I always have my brightness all the way up except for when I'm in bed because this screen is not bright at all compared to my old phones. Unless you just have to have sense (which to me makes no sense, lol) then I would recommend trying bamf stripped v1.1. I am also not overclocked, I noticed a little increase in performance but not enough to justify the loss of some battery life., however I was going to experiment with it again since I haven't tested the performance and battery life of stripped v1.1 overclocked.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
I mean, I have BAMF Remix 1.6.3, which I guess has Sense elements since I do not have BAMF Stripped? I mean, I do not think I use any Sense features or anything like that, so I have no reason not to get BAMF Stripped if it helps increase performance/battery life. Yeah, on Remix 1.6.3 and Imo's kernel at Normal, I had 12 hours on my extended battery... O_o Haha.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Bump - does anyone have Autostarts? Or any other program/app that will help with the battery life, or any other suggestions? I will test the CurrentWidget app tomorrow when I am actually up and using my phone and see if I get similar results or if I find another program is using up my memory... I also recently installed Advanced Task Killer today to help with this battery problem, but I heard mixed things about using it and how it can actually negatively impact the phone instead of helping.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
Before 2.2 they were useful on some phones if used right, but its not needed nor does it work on the thunderbolt. If its set to autokill then it will drain the battery faster by running and killing apps, then the phone using juice to reopen the apps that were killed. If you root you can use autokiller (not a task killer) to set parameters for ram memory but I haven't found it to be necessary on the t-bolt, it was needed on my old droid X to keep it from lagging. I would suggest uninstalling the task killer.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Took your advice and uninstalled the task killer - thanks! Anyone else have any other suggestions or advice about my battery problem?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
Autostarts is definitely worth $1. If you are familiar with Windows, it's kinda like msconfig for android. It prevents nonessential apps from starting in the background and wasting battery & network bandwidth. If you want to do everything you possibly can to minimize resource hogging, you should get Autostarts.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
I downloaded Autostarts - I hate to be asking this sort of question but I am sort of cautious when changing these sorts of settings (because I heard a person who had to boot into recovery because he shut off system applications by accident), which programs should/shouldn't I turn off? I am a little confused how to use this program - did it automatically shut off some programs, because as I look through I see some programs are crossed off in a green line... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Bump - can anyone help me with Autostarts? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MsSassypants:
Sigh, Autostarts isn't a "task killer"

I stay away from any proccess that's needed to run in the background. Things in yellow, leave alone. IMO pandora has no business running in the background at start up. If there's no valid reason, I kill it.

Tossed from my Tunabowl
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
I realize Autostarts isn't a task killer (it cannot kill a task if it never opens up, hehe). Thanks for your advice though! The more I was looking at it last night, the more I was understanding, but you just reassured what I was assuming. Hopefully this helps my battery a bit... Or I figure what else makes my extended battery drain faster than others.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Even with Autostarts, my battery life has not improved that much... I have been experimenting a bit with different governors and settings, but now I am back with the extreme Imo kernel and on InteractiveX. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Any help would be appreciated! :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderbread:
I was having trouble with my battery also. I've been lucky with Gingeritis but still the battery was killing me. This may not be an option but the extended battery is amazing. I got the case to go with it and I'm not disapointed. This OS with heavy use also and display at 50% and all animations enabled. Also running 4g all day!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
The problem is, I DO have the extended battery and now seeing some of the battery life that others are getting (a lot say 30+ hours, I am barely pushing my phone and I am getting less than 20 at a time).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
BAMF 3 RC2, imo 3.3.4, 245/1593, LTE Only mode, auto brightness, twitter sync every 15 minutes, facebook every hour, gmail push, weather every hour, 4 hours of music streaming, another couple of playing, a lot of twitter and facebook, and doing a bunch of other things with the phone, and I rebooted about 3 times. I think I could hit 50+ hours if i didn't OC or reboot.

Oh yeah, I have the extended battery :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jschecter:
g00s3y, which governor are you using?

i'm on the same kernel, but using gingerremix w/ a std battery. the phone drains 40% overnight with it being on wifi. (that's with just gmail pushing and gtalk on).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
g00s3y, those battery stats and usage are exactly the kind I want to get out of my extended battery! I was looking at BAMF Sense 3.0, I think by this point I might wait until the official release of Gingerbread (which people say is this Thursday?) and then wait for some of the ROMS/kernels be updated before switching over.

How did you get that graph on top of your battery stats?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
That is the regular battery status graph in settings>battery.

Gingerbread is not getting released this thursday.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Oh, I am still in Froyo, that may be why I cannot see the graph because I tried checking my phone now and I don't see one.

Oh, is it not being released? I heard June 30th, and I know that was a rumor but a lot of people kept saying it so I assumed someone heard it was true. Does anyone know when it will be released or that still up in the air?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sg1dan:
almost whenever i install a new rom, the battery meter (stats) get f-up. i usually charge the phone fully, unplug it for half a minute, recharge it again till the light turns green, reboot and then wipe the battery stats. after one or two battery recharges ( down to 40% and charge to full) the battery percentage gets "stabalized" i no longer loose ridiculous amounts of battery for no reason. just installed the latest Synergy rom and had to go through the damn process again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I don't have any proof that it isn't coming, but from everything that I have heard, it basically an MR2 Froyo with fixes for what MR1 brought to a bunch of people. Gingerbread most likely won't be coming out until August sometime. That picture that showed 2.3.4 on June 30th had a lot of errors that an official document from VZW wouldn't have on it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
I see... I am going to wait then to see if any Froyo update comes out from Verizon officially, then I can go to see which Froyo ROMs and kernels are updated and try to improve my battery life. I am still barely getting 18 hours with very little use on 3G with an extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdoan34:
I always calibrate my battery when i flash a new rom

it helps improve my battery life with the rom

for instance im running BAMF sense 3.0 RC3 with imo's 184 kernel

with extreme undervolt/overclock 1.4ghz

running 4G the entire time and having everything on sync every hr to 2 hrs

im at 9hrs 35mins on stock battery with 55%
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Jeez... You are probably getting the same amount of battery life I am getting on my extended. I did calibrate, I feel maybe BAMF Remix 1.6.3 with Imo's kernel is not the absolute best combo for my phone (All phones are different, I just heard that was a good combination).

I guess after seeing if there is a release tomorrow or the 7th (even if it is just an official small update or fix), I will wait for the ROMs to be updated and I guess make the jump to BAMF Sense 3.0 over the weekend or so (which is a GB ROM, correct?). I was trying to stay on Froyo as long as I could - I had a reboot problem but in getting a new radio, I have not had a random reboot since installation, but I understand with GB ROMs you must flash a new radio (MR2/MR2.5 I keep seeing) - I hope I do not get another reboot thing going on. I also was afraid because of like the 5% of people who had bricked TBs (and knowing my luck, I would be part of that group, ha). Would I flash the ROM first then a new radio, or new radio then new ROM?

Random off topic question now that Cdoan34 mentioned it, how do you change the frequency time of syncing? I can only check off auto-sync and background syncing - maybe this will help my Gmail notification problem (Gmail never updates or checks my inbox unless I manually go in and refresh it, ha).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Also, g00s3y, which radio do you have? MR2 or MR2.5?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I have 2.5.

BTW everyone

^ This is from today

Just got another 42 hours out of my phone. This was with 3G & LTE radios on, not just LTE only. If I didn't do any music streaming I really think I could crack 50 hours, that will be my next goal :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Another 42 hours?! That is crazy... Tonight I am switching to BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3 (although I know you have RC2, I am hoping RC3 is just less glitchy/more tweaked) and getting MR2.5 and Imo's kernel... HOPEFULLY I will start to see some results than my normal 18 hours I get with my extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
No I am on RC3 also, just updated to the latest 3.4.0 kernel. Fully charging right now and then will put it back to stock speeds, running 245/1600 right now. I want to try for 50 hours.

Also what do you do with your phone? Are you constantly streaming music? Movies? Lots of picture taking and video recording? 18 hours seems very low to me, I could get that on a stock battery if I wasn't doing any music playing or streaming.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Ha, no. I barely do anything really - I play Words with Friends for a bit, but mainly I text. I do not go on the internet or stream anything, and I am in 3G constantly (I try WiFi when I am home, but lately I have been noticing when I turn WiFi on my phone, my actual internet shuts down, so I have been keeping that to a minimum, lol). I might listen to music on it during lunch using PowerAmp or the Music player... I am a very light user of the phone, ha.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I've noticed words with friends running in the background takes a bunch of battery up. At least if I've been playing before I go to bed, then next morning its much lower than if I didn't have the game running. Same with AIM, both are battery hogs I believe.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
I just updated to BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3 with Imo's leanKernel and MR2 (MR2.5 had some reboots for me, so far MR2 is running more smoothly). I am currently calibrating the battery, but we will see (off topic - so far, I love Sense 3.0/Gingerbread - the task manager really is cool!). And speaking of Task Manager, I have noticed too that Words with Friends take a fair amount of MBs and run for a while in the background - I sort of close it using Task Manager, but still, I feel I should get more battery life than I am getting now. Hopefully once I let this phone die and charge up fully, I will get to see how much battery life I am getting. Thanks for all your help!

[Acer Iconia A500] cadeyboy:
For some reason. every time I reboot, sw reset, hard reset, my a500 boots up

back to a certain setting. I have tried all resets, but it goes back to the same screen. I have uninstalled apps, but when I reset-reboot they are back.

Even when I install new apps, when I reboot , they are gone.

I have no idea what to do. It seems as though the factory reset has been set to this setting rather than the actual factory reset..

Any help would be great as I cant even save anything, install or do anything because as soon as it reboots, its all gone

thanks

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatininbed:
I'm looking into getting the ASUS transformer (cause it looks awesome, and probably does what I want), but I need to know if there are any handwriting note-taking apps.

While this question might be best posted towards a Transformer forum, any application would do, and if it works on the Incredible, why won't it work on the other?

Does anyone know of any awesome handwriting note taking applications? I'm taking a lot of engineering/math classes in September, and I'd like to be able to write my notes (which will be a lot of math, where keyboards fail in note taking) using a stylus, and hopefully be able to save them in either google docs, or evernote (or any cloud based application that can interface with a computer).

I've been checking out Note Everything, and it seems pretty awesome, except that I can't export their "paint notes" to gdocs, only their text notes.

thanks for your help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicollivier:
Yes It's a really good application.

But for their "paint note" the export to GDocs is not supported.

Don't hesitate to write to their support ( Unfortunately I'm not allowed to write the link to the website, but you can easily find it ;) ), they are very responsive, even the Sunday and the Monday at 11.00 pm :)

as much as I like the look of the switch, I really hope it's not, and doubt, that is the actual phone.
