[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m5james:
So I've been dealing w/ this little issue for the past few months where I can tell that the battery meter isn't reading correctly when the battery starts getting super laggy, slow to respond to inputs, etc. I've also experienced the same issues that I've read about here on the forums where after resetting the phone, I get drastic changes in before and after readings.

Just today I decided to search for the process to properly recalibrate the battery stats...jesus christ, there are opinions everywhere! Out of all the ones I've read, I've never understood the repeated charging and depleting cycle, THEN resetting the battery stats. Isn't the purpose of the battery stats to teach it to learn how to use the battery, so why wouldn't we be resetting the stats from either a completely dead or completely charged battery, then doing the power or draining cycles a few times?

Either way, I completely killed the battery lastnight, reset the stats and charged it w/ the phone on but in airplane mode. Unplugged for a moment, plugged it back in, LED went from red to blue within a few minutes. Did it one more time since I read random suggestions about "boosting" the battery like this. I then powered the phone off and did the same thing. During use today, the meter has been steadily dropping, maybe even a little faster than I'd expected, but I chalked it up to the phone learning.

Now the issue I'm having it that the phone froze about three times after doing the resetting and charging. Now mind you, this has happened before immediately after I flashed Syndicate w/o even touching the battery stats before or after a fresh ROM/Kernal installation, so I'm not goint to immediately assume it's because I may have done the battery stats steps incorrectly. At this point, I just want a truely accurate reading...none of the sluggishness when it says 29% then resetting takes it to 9% and the screen goes dim, the freezing the phone gets when it goes below 15%, etc.

There must be one, solid, concrete way to do this battery meter thing that doesn't involve everyone getting into a pissing contest about who is right, who is wrong, getting into a long speech about lithium battery blah blah blah. I just want a meter that reads accurately, period.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
I agree. I have heard several methods to calibrate a battery but not one concrete method. I have read that its bad to run a Lithium ION battery all of the way down. Then I read that its the best way to condition the battery. Anyone with the proper method to calibrate the battery and make the reading the most accurate will get some "thanks" from me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m5james:
While I can't say the meter was dead accurate when stock, at least it doesn't give me the issues I've been experiencing. There must be a way to find out how Sammy does it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
I find that the charge to 100 on, unplug, charge to 100 off, unplug, charge to 100 on, then turn of and clear battery stats from cwm works. I have no logical explanation why but i notice a significant battery boost and fture efficiency. Only reason it gets screwed up is flashing something new, but when I redo the process I get the same battery efficiency back. Also make sure any flashes don't activate syncing. I flashed something that turned mail syncing on and it was killing my battery.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
My opinion on the whole battery deal is do nothing. These are lithium ion batteries, they have no "memory" effect. About the only way you can hurt them is to deep discharge them repeatedly or overcharge repeatedly. I don't feel there is a need to fully cycle 100%-0%-100%. Or charge off, then on, then unplug, blah blah blah... That probably just overcharges the battery anyway.

A while back I tried monkeying around with all those tips and tricks people post, didn't seem to do anything for my life. After a week or so of normal use the phone seems to learn your battery anyway. I say just let the phone do its thing, spend your time playing with cool apps or something.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m5james:
No offense Insanity, but did you even read my post or know what batter stats does? I know Li batteries don't have a memory, its been stated before in nasseum. Battery stats is an application that tells or phones how to properly read the charge/discharge rate of the battery. Please don't take this thread down the "memory" blah blah blah road, because that's not the issue here. My battery is perfectly fine, I'm trying to find out an unbiased, educated, personal-opinionless and concrete way that battery stats need to be programmed, ie the way Sammy does it since I didn't have this problem until I started flashing roms.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
All I'm saying is don't do anything, the phone will learn. When I stopped clearing battery stats every time I thought there was a problem I stopped having drastic drops in my battery meter after rebooting like some people have run into.

I haven't cleared battery stats in months now, my battery life is great and my phone doesn't lose mass amounts of battery randomly on reboot.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m5james:
I also stated in my OP that I've been on this rom for a few months, if not even longer since I've been bouncing back and forth between Syndicate and Bonzai. Point is, months later I'm still having the issue, so clearly something isn't calibrating correctly, hence my creation of this thread.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
Even if the battery stats are wrong/improperly calibrated/whatever you would call it I don't see how that would lead to lockups. Are you getting FCs at all? Maybe there's some data corruption at play? Is your filesystem journaled? When the phone locks up are you able to logcat?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m5james:
The lockups I'm referring to only happen after I reset the battery stats, then it stops after a day or so or charging and discharging...it just never reads the battery correctly even after repeated usage. No FC's, phone just locks and a battery pull is the only way to stop it, journaling is on because the risk of FC's isn't work the slight speed increase and I honestly have no clue about how to check and/or post logcats.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
Make sure debug mode is enabled on your phone before it locks. When it locks plug your phone into your PC. Try from a DOS prompt inside a directory with the adb executable:

adb logcat > filename.txt

Let it run for a minute or so then ctrl-c to break out of it. If the phone is in fact completely locked it won't work, but its worth a shot to try to get a behind the scenes look at what's going on when your phone pukes. If you notice it lagging or something that makes you think its about to puke, try to get a logcat of that too. Use different file names when you logcat so you don't overwrite the old one.

issues with battery meter

Ive had the same exact problem. Its been fine since september when i got the phoen and even through flashing the phone. Everynow and again it will have a large drop after flashing but i typically have written that off as the power it takes to flash. Now after ec05 and this gingerbread leak, may battery stats is unreliable. It will stay at a certain percent until my battery dies. At any given moment i never know how much battery is left.

Ok update if you use terminal emulator in root you can enable and disable barriers plus apply this tweak it is however already set up in the bali 2.1 uv kernel i believe enter mount in the terminal and read the results i am by no means a dev but have self taught minor ubunt experience learn by doing type stuff
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
Can you give me the steps you've tried to get it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mopar2ltr:
barriers

I downloaded the terminal emulator from the market then after it was installed I opened it and typed in the following

su <enter>

mount <enter>

From that point it should list all the mount information look at the data line in there it will list / data ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc 0 0 /

then type the string in the post you were looking at and then

mount <enter>

read the string again

then to set barrier to 0

mount -o remount,barrier=0 /data /data

mount <enter>

barrier is now =0

no performance gains but it mat be more involved to get gains not sure I hope this helps a bit

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Well do as descriped???

enter recovery(vol down+power and chose recovery using volume buttons and power) From the recovery you can restore the nandroid you were told to make before running alpharev.

Also does it still show s-on in the bootloader? and the alpharev thing you are talking about that it alway start up in, is that the screen with the joker? Because that means it got to flash something.

edit: and if you didn't do a nandroid backup, you can just flash a new rom and run alpharev again...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Which rom are you using, and is it rooted stock?

I couldn't get alpharev to recognise my device till I wiped everything and flashed oxygen rom. You can always change it once you have s-off as mortenmhp says.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi guys,

from my own i am afraid that there'nt any nandbckp and the unrevoked is not fully functionnal. don't know if uou still go into recovery.

when power on keep volume down and you should normally get into recovery.

if it work do as morten says.

need answer to thos questions ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubyspida:
thank you for your answers so far!

well, i thought i did anything like descript... if i try recovery something it always tells me: checking MD5 sums, MD5 mismatch! E:CAN'T mount CACHE:recovery/log E:CAN'T find MISC

i'm still S-ON if i press vol down and the power button, so i cant install new zips/roms and if i start the phone the alpharev SLPBOOT 2.0 starts - nothing with a joker. i cant start my phone normally to start flashing again and as i told i cannot do any restore stuff. i tried to install leedroid 2.4 a2sd: assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"), E:ERROR in /sdcard/Leedroid.. (status 7) Installation aborted.

if i had knew it would be soooo complicated i wouldnt do it.. :(

well, and if i get an RUU ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667 (but which one? i guess i have GSM, there a lot of roms o.o) it will work as it does before?

EDIT: ok, i downloaded this RUU RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release as zip... but i cannot install it: fomratting system: E:CAN'T format system, E:Failure at line 6.. installation aborted. everything is about this E: and MISC thing. what is it? how can i fix it?

How does an HTC Flyer ROM sound? Well too bad. It doesn't work well.

The apps don't fit well, the camera doesn't work and I've not really bothered trying anything else.

I'm positive I'll need to mess with the framework.

Details;

Mix of Virtuous Unity (framework and lib files and stuff) and the Flyer ROM for the DHD (apps and base ROM).

Launcher actually rotates! Although it don't fit right.

Apps - don't even ask. Tonnes of Force Closes and shiz.

Put simply, I'm posting this thread to raise epic hype. Since I won't have much time for this till Sunday/Monday night. I'll maybe post what I have as a proof of concept, but till then not much can happen.

Ah balls it soft rebooted....

Meh. Enjoy the dream peeps, enjoy the dream.

Stuff I need to fix - Soft keyboard, app sizes, framework, strings, setup wizard, probably the settings app, and loads moar.

Good luck. I look forward to trying this. If you need anyone to test anything during development I'm happy to help. I have a very boring job which gives me loads of spare time to mess around with my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Testing? Nah not yet. I need to make the phone at lease a little usable. IE test all teh functions and stuff. Then next on the list would be making all the apps fit. Which I was gonna leave to the dev of the DHD Flyer port ;)

If you know anything about resizing the apps, or editing frameworks (although I don't know which ones and what to change), thats what I need help with right now.

I don't particularly believe in testing, I'll release my WIP when I'm slightly happy with it, and then perhaps use beta testers for a final release.

I may actually mess with this today, but after that its a wait till Sunday/Monday till I can really start. Got cadets tonight then I'm going away with them from Friday night to Sunday sometime. XD

I also love how every ROM I post gets like 1 star, compared to the 4/5 stars the rest of the forum has.

Cheers community! I'll remember that so that my next ROM doesn't come here, clearly you don't want it.

Better battery, phone sleeps, signal, performance, etc. Usually one or all these come with updating to the newer versions.

Yeah. be very patient. When you flash, you have to reboot relatively quickly, then you'll be on the stock recovery screen (Green circle w/ arrow) for awhile, then it will reboot itself to recovery, clear cache and let you reboot again back to system. DO NOT PULL BATTERY FOR ANY REASON!

Not sure if this is the right place or even how to pose the question since I have very little knowledge of how all this magic happens in my hands... so that acknowledged:

I have Android Notifier sending messages from my Thunderbolt to my Windows 7 laptop, which I love. If I leave my phone in another room I get my texts and other notifications on my laptop. Awesome, beautiful idea.

The problem is now that I have the TF, I don't sit there in front of my laptop anymore to see those notifications. Is there any way to have those call/text notifications pop up in my TF notifications?

In a ridiculously awesome world, there would be some sort of VNC type thing built into Honeycomb so when these notification pop in you could pull up your phone screen on your tablet (or computer for that matter) and control it from there... probably a reason this can't work that is beyond my paygrade, but a guy can dream, right?

Anyway, if anything like this exists or is in the works, I'd like to know about it for sure... thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] interestingfellow:
I've had my leo (us version) for a little over a year, and in the traditional MS way of things, the dern thing needs a hard reset. If I get motivated enough, I'm going to try android, but that's another story.

For the moment, there is one thing that has pissed me off about WM6.5 on the Leo since I started using it: it forces portrait mode in certain apps like the home screen, phone, start menu list, remote desktop, etc......

Is there any way to.....uh..... "unforce" portrait in these apps? I would like for it to just work like all the other apps that read the Gsensor.

I know it's possible, because there are moments when I cut my phone on/off or cover the proximity sensor and I can see those apps in landscape mode for just a moment before they automatically switch to and "lock" in portrait mode.

I googled it, and searched here, and can't seem to find a straightforward answer. I've also found work arounds for specific apps, but don't want to fix 1 or 2 programs that are limited by this, I want to just fix it so any program will react to the g sensor.

Anyone know anything about this?

TIA!
