[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] selayan:
I get a discount on my plan with verizon too. Maybe I can go through a representative from my company to replace the battery or the phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
To OP: How long have you had your Incredible 2? I noticed that after about a week of use the battery life improved significantly. I know that part of that was because I started using it less, but I am still a heavy user and can get through a day easily.

A good app to try is JuicePlotter. It's made by the same people that did Defender, but it just simply gives you a real time plot of your battery drain. I have found it very useful to find what apps destroy my battery. (Games, mostly ;D)

My setup: First day of usage I charged it to full capacity and bump charged it. I will never do this again - I just wanted to start off fresh. I got mediocre battery life and then about exactly a week later it began to get better. I then temp-rooted and froze all bloat I could find. I even froze the two pmt services (or whatever they are called).

All in all my battery loses about 1.3% per hour when it is locked and asleep...and that's with wifi and bluetooth on constantly. I'll post a screen shot later if I have time.

http://i55.tinypic.com/2co05tz.jpg

You'll see on the far left where I was playing games until 3:30, and then for the next three hours going from about 63-62 to about 59 percent and then you can see where I woke up and got on my phone again. I would say this is pretty much what my phone does all day every day while I'm not messing with it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] selayan:
I only had it for about a less than a month now. I noticed the battery still has gotten a little better. But does not last me all day. Now its about 50% and its been fully charged at 7am. Got to work and used normal email, facebook, and some pandora for about 30 min and texting. That was all. Looks like I may need to call verizon. I know I will need to recharge at 2pm.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
I noticed if I lose signal my battery dies really fast...also look at your running services
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
The task killer would definitely kill your battery.

I leave everything on all day, have all my background services running, data is being used in the background, and I have well over 30 apps that I have downloaded. And with semi-heavy usage, I go all day on one charge. If Verizon tells you any of these are the problem, they are lying to you.

An interesting side-note though...when I unplug my phone in the morning, it goes from 100% to 90% in about ten minutes, regardless of whether it is on or asleep. After that, the battery drains at about 6% an hour on average, unless I am playing a game, or using it in a way that the screen stays on for an extended period of time, then it drains at about 12% to 15% an hour.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
+1

Got rid of task killer and getjar and a few other processes...7.5 hours and I'm at 60% battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] selayan:
I don't know how you guys do it. I have pretty good signal at work the most its been without signal is 1%. I guess I will call verizon from work and see if they can do anything. They may tell me to restore it and stuff but I did that anyway.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheWh0leTruth:
If you power off and charge your phone you do not instantly lose that 10%. They have it do that so the battery isn't ruined by over charging. Usually in the mornings ill turn phone off and let charge completely while getting ready for school n work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nrfitchett4:
My kids both have dinc2's and seem to get better battery life than you do. I would try to get the battery switched out. I know for my thunderbolt, I bought 2 extra batteries with a charger, but that is due to lte.

what's bad about getjar? Does it use battery excessively?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Not really sure, but it was a heavy app running in the background...my battery lasted 9 hours yesterday and with heavier use I'm at 30% with 13 hours today..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] selayan:
Could be the battery or the phone itself. My friend has the incredible 1 and his is custom rom'ed so his battery lasts longer than mine too. I just know they will throw me through loops and stuff because I didn't buy the insurance. If you turn it off to charge, will your alarm still go off in the morning?
[General Questions and Answers] kiryu3000:
Hey guys, I installed Bionix 1.3.1 on my Vibrant last night and it's really awesome! I have never seen my phone this smooth! I have just one problem with it though; I am having trouble restoring data to some of my games, in particular, Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio, and Fruit Ninja. So here is the list of things I did as far as I can remember:

1. I have the T-Mobile Vibrant running the stock 2.2 Froyo ROM

2. I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick

3. I installed Titanium Backup and ROM Manager, using the former to backup all my apps and data.

4. I installed Bionix 1.3.1

5. After restoring my apps, running Angry Birds and the other aforementioned apps causes a crash, saying that they shut down unexpectedly. They run fine if I only restore the app but the problem is I don't have the data, and I really don't want to 3-star every level in the three Angry Birds games again.

So what steps can I take?

Wouldn't a dual boot of some other os be nice right about now? whats an os out we should get to dual boot?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
None. No other device uses the same hardware as ours and writing drivers for an entire OS is an unbelievable undertaking we don't have the devs for.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
it sucks how its the other way around though for windows users
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
They don't have a dev community so not really. So far there has been one successful "jailbreak" that ruins their ability to update forever. Not much of a future there.

[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
The droid incredible can dual boot 2 android roms but that's becouse of its generous internal memory. It would be near impossible for us on our pathetic 400mb or so.
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
That's what convinced me to come to Android. I had a Windows Mobile 6 phone, and after dual booting with Android for about a month, I realized I liked it a lot better and decided that my next phone would be an Android one. And that was a big deal for me, because I was developing apps for my Windows phone but had never made an Android app before.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
yes Windows Mobile 6
[Epic 4G General] Jimmyjoe:
Very cool!.. I played with android on my TP2 before I got the epic

What build are you using for your wife? I have a couple of "non techie" friends who are stuck with TP2's and i would love to get froyo working on them. Does everything work? camera, sound etc?
[Epic 4G General] icevapor:
Uhhh f...06 (... means I can't remeber, its something like frx06 or something) w/ one of of the updated kernels in the forums. Bluetooth doesn't work, but my wife never uses it.
[Epic 4G General] icevapor:
The OS has nothing to do w/ whether you can dual boot or not. But more depends on the hardware and and what software and/or drivers the community has put together.

Comming from winmo, I see no reason why anyone would want to go to it from android.

I think i messed something after flashing the EXT4 mod because when i booted into recovery the text under blue line is orange and yellow and i don't remember it being like that before? i can hit reinstall packages and it loads cwm fine as far as i can tell? this is what it says please let me know whats wrong and how i can fix it please. thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] slapshotx2002:
it is a know issue after flashing ext4, you are still ok, just click on reinstall packages and it will take you to cwm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
yeah I'm sure everyone who flashed EXT4 is experiencing the same thing, I am too. CWM still works as far as I'm concerned. I've done like two restores, and flashed trigger rom successfully. I think everyone is getting those mounting errors.

Nevertheless, the phone is ridiculousness fast and smooth :D!! big ups to dsexton702.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bryanb82:
Crap now that i think about it the OP did mention something about an error botting into CWM i guess this is it right?is it a false alarm?? and how do i fix it? or is there no way to fix it? thanks for the quick reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
thats because the recovery on the rom is not compatable with ext 4 but clockwork is hence why u can still get into clockwork but not the stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] slapshotx2002:
yes OP is correct as of now there is no way of fixing it. just ignore it and click install packages and it works just fine
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
will be fixed along with the chargeing animation once we get more ext 4 roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bryanb82:
thanks everybody i feel allot better now:) but one more question. Even if i reflash odin and then reflash bionix the ext4 mod will still be there right? or do i have to do the mod again?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
if u odin it flashes back the stock file system u would have to reconvert.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
i fixed the battery issue but i cant fix the recovery AKA cache mount error in recovery

im still working on it, also i found a way to convert back to rfs so you wont have the recovery cache mount issue but you also wont have ext4
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Ive been screwing around trying to get my partition for ext4. And I was able to change my cache mount to mount and now I'm not receiving the cache error. Dont know that I did anything to help it along but my phone seems fine other than the OC problems which are minor
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
WHAT!!! you fixed the error in red writing when you enter recovery before CWM!!!????

and what OC problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Yea I was going in and out of cwm trying to partition like Lenny hodapp and I noticed the red text error wasn't coming up so I went to mounts and cache was the only one that said unmount so I mounted it and I have not received that error since. If I see it come back I will let you know.

And my OC problems are things like xda app freezing and market sometimes makes the phone vibrate and back out of some screens on it's own. 1 or 2 fc's and that's about it. Also I turned off stability watch and still unstable at 1.5ghz. Should I increase internal voltage by +25 or +50?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
try 1400 instead of 1375 for the core and internal maybe to 1200

also might have to warm the rom up to OC'ing because my 1.5 was extremely stable but not till awhile with the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Kool ill stretch this baby out on 1.2ghz and work my way towards something a little higher. Also I made a note to try those settings next time I try 1.5ghz. Its wild though at 1.2ghz my quadrant scores are in the 1800's all thanks to your easy to follow steps. Thank you sir
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ssmokey727:
I was also screwing around in the sd card yesterday night and noticed I had 3 nandroid back ups I deleted the 2 oldest and kept the newer one now I'm also not getting that mounting error in cwm and as far as OC goes I've notice that my phone is stable at 1.5ghz but depending on which of dr honks kernels I use it requires different voltages:

the 2.1 UV it's stable at core voltage 1400mv and internal 1175mv and the non UV Kernel it's stable at 1400mv and 1150mv. in either one of these settings the scaling need to be set to conservatiove or performance starting at 200mhz instead of 100mhz.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yea i noticed they needed to be changed also but i wasnt sure to what

so thank you very much smokey! :D

also your saying that your ext4 right now, but you dont have the recovery issue?

ive only made one back up and it was on my ext4 sgs4g and im still having the recovery issue even after making some cache adjustments like godofwar did

hmmm need to figure this out
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
just a fyi, when you SEE "unmount" that means what ever your looking at is "mounted" when you click on it and see "mount" that means its unmounted. I had to pm a dev for that info.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ssmokey727:
I had to odin my phone to KD1 then formatted the fs to ext4 then flashed Bionix frost from cwm I went to recovery and I had those erros in the page. I went into reinstall packages/ apply update from sdcard/ Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip then rebooted recovery and I had no more mounting erros in the recovery page. I hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] woodmanskinsfan:
Any of us who have installed ROM Manager from the market have gone through some real pain trying to recover from using its recovery. Until it is verified as fully functional by one of this forum's top devs, do not install it! It's not ready for prime time.

Instead, use krylon360's outstanding CWM Recovery here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099374. Follow the directions in the OP carefully.

Also, check mad_fitter's great thread on steps needed to flash on this phone. Step 12 addresses what happens if you try and flash using ROM Manager's recovery (ODIN):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122508

I see that contributing members are still having these issues and hope to help drive the point home. ROM Manager will be great when it works for our device, but right now it doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] matthenry87:
I was able to use ROM manager on my device. The only thing that CWM doesn't seem to do is:

(might need to remount system as r/w)

// change permission on recovery binary so we can replace it

su

cd /system/bin

chmod 777 recovery

exit

exit

// push new recovery binary

adb push recovery /system/bin

Once this is performed the CWM from ROM manager works fine.

I just did my co-worker's SGS4G and can confirm this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Hmmm. Can you send this to koush
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] markland_gta:
I had to use recovery file from krylon360's CWM Recovery to make my ROM manager work. It works fine for me.

But of late it gets stuck while recovering on the .andriod_secure folder. Which i think is the last step on the recovery.

No big deal, just pull the battery out and power the phone back on and everything is back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] matthenry87:
Yeah that last part it hangs on isn't a big deal. I believe that is where the apps2sd apps are stored and it's not a big deal of that isn't wiped.

Anytime you wipe it's gonna hang as well as any time you do a restore. It will hang while restoring that same dir but once you get to that point system and data have already been restored so you can just pull the battery and reboot from recovery.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nmil:
Unlocking is relatively easy if you have a rooted phone.

You just need to edit /efs/root/afs/settings/nv_data.bin

Use HexEdit or whatever binary editor you have.

Go to address 0x1468 which looks like: ff 01 00 00 00 00 38 36

change 01 to 00 and you will disable a network lock.

As usual, backing up is for weaklings ;-)

btw, this info is available if you search. I am just repeating what others found.

HELP!!

I have tried multiple times to find the code to unlock my Sidekick 4 G but I keep failing. Can someone find it for me? My bml3.bak can be emailed to you if you can help.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
FWIW, this method worked for me. I had followed the other instructions of finding my code in "bml3", but it didn't unlock my phone (even after restarting it). This method worked as advertised.

For those of you who are a little mystified what these instructions mean or are unsure of how to do this safely, here are some more clues (there are plenty of posts/threads explaining these steps in detail in this forum):

1. Root your phone

2. Get "Android Commander" (a PC application that lets you painlessly move files between your phone and your PC) [[if you are an expert, you don't really need this -- or my clues :-)]]

3. Copy "/efs/root/afs/settings/nv_data.bin" to your PC. Now, for safety, make another copy of it on your PC called "nv_data.bin-ORIG" or whatever.

4. Get a hex editor. The 010 Editor mentioned in various posts is a popular choice.

5. Edit your PC copy of "nv_data.bin" with your hex editor. Make the change mentioned in nmil's post, save, and exit.

6. Back to Android Commander. Copy your modified PC copy of "nv_data.bin" back to the original location on your phone. You will be overlaying the original copy of the file on your phone. This is the most sensitive step, so don't mess it up.

7. Restart your phone with a SIM card that is not from T-Mobile. You should be all clear now (no unlock prompt).

Sorry if I belabored the point above, but there are lots of posts around from people who are not very experienced with such things. ("I followed your procedure exactly, and now my garage door won't open.")
