[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
I have the same problem as the dude above.

No matter they ROM (I tried andy's, mik's and void) I always get a 1-2% drain / hour, in idle. I keep EDGE, mobile data and sync on. Everything else off.

Let's face it, without mobile data I could as well get a feature phone... no point in having a smartphone if I can't get things like push e-mail, messenger, liveprofile etc.

Anyway, it seems to be a problem in all these ROM's, drain with mobile data on. If I turn it off, the drain is gone.

These are the apps I use:

Google Docs

Days Left Widget

News Republic (english)

The Weather Channel

Google Maps

Street View on Google Maps

OI File Manager

FriendCaller

Yahoo! Messenger Plug-in

Google Goggles

Foursquare

Dropbox

Google Translate

picplz

Zedge Ringtones & Wallpapers

Adobe® Reader®

KeePassDroid

Barcode Scanner

Exchange Rates

Springpad

YouTube

Twitter

Facebook for Android

Yahoo! Mail

Yahoo! Messenger

LiveProfile

Gmail

Google Authenticator

Link2SD

Note: all apps are set to not refresh/sync themselves. (twitter, facebook, etc.) I do it manually and they stay closed all the time.

Also, could someone explain Link2SD? I don't understand what's it doing... I used the normal "App2SD" from the market which actually moved the apps to the SD.

@digkong

I think it might be my status bar. It uses 57% of my battery according to android assistant. Or is that normal?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eudennis:
Something like 20 hours. I was using the Juice Defender Ultimate and it up to 40-50 hours, but the app make the p500 slow to connect everytime, so I think is better have less battery then less memory :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] tylerzeph:
My current ROM is void. #forever franco.Kernal .v17 stock CPU settings with smartass. I'm getting close to 2days off a full charge. At work my phone pretty much is on idle for 7h and it only drops about 4-6%. I noticed the biggest kicker was 3G, I disable it almost all the time unless I really feel I'm going to benefit from the speed. The 3G drain seems to be an extra 1%. If I use my phone heavily it will only last about a day or a day and a half. More than enough for me!

:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] digkong:
I don't know if that is fine.. can u check if the phone goes to sleep when ever u are not using it.. coz I had this problem once.. to check go battery use and see the one showing awake.. and if its blank whenever screen is off..then its fine.. if not check in android assistant if any of user apps is eating battery..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] biggiex2:
first of all i want to say hi to all the forum users out there. this is my first reply here :D

i have this phone for about 2 months and so far with around 40 apps installed and some widgets i have about 2.5 days of battery life(i only activate hsdpa when i need to go online, mostly use it for calling and texting and around 3 hrs of gaming, aaaand i often mess around with the brightness settings). if i use a live wallpaper i only get 1.5 days of battery life(i gave up that idea anyway because it was making the phone sluggish)

oh forgot to mention...i'm using stock 2.2.2 froyo rom

[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikoperugia:
Hi there. I'm afraid this post is not strictly about battery life bragging/crying. Anyone noticed battery percentage dropping while taxing the phone (gps+wifi+cpu) even if it's charging (through USB)? I've noticed this in both mik's and andy's

Thank you
[Optimus One, P500, V General] androza:
OpenOptimus 1.172, Franco v17. 3G data always on, sync always on, screen brightness 100%, 5-10 sms a day, ~5 calls a day, Twitter, Fb, Gmail, Email etc. 18h since last charge and still 28% battery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CtrlU:
For me Devoid froyo ROM with marcos kernel is doing wonders, i average abt 24 hrs and this is heavy usage.. on stock rom i just would end up with 12 hrs..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajjan:
there is something definitely eating up your battery....may be its the status bar as you said its showing 57% use....flash void #forever after wiping everythin

1. Wipe all data,cache,battery stats ,everything.

2.Flashed void#forever.

3. Checked 2g networks only in settings-networks-mobile networks.(Dunno how much that helped me )

4.Install only apps which are necessary (i have around 50 installed)..and the rest you can restore via titanium when you need it...

.(...i hope it helps...)or if it is some app thats causing that kind of drain uninstall it...
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
Hi all,

Anyone heard of the app battery calibration?

http://www.appbrain.com/app/battery-calibration/com.nema.batterycalibration

Just wondered if this would be ok to use on the A500 also, Im one of the people who got it home and didnt let it charge for 5 hours before using it, wanted to start playing ya'know.... anyone tried it? or have any experience with doing it on a tab? Or as its just android.... should it work fine.

I use it on my phone and its ok.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eazzy28:
With the latest gingerbread evo deck 1.2y, does GPS and WIRELESS TETHER work??? What are the known issues??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I've been on Y for a few hours now, and GPS works fine for me. A few people have reported that GPS isn't working for them, but AOSP GPS always seems a bit flaky on some Evos. My own experience with it is that GPS works perfect though. Wireles Tether works fine on this ROM. I haven't been using the Wireless Tether app lately though, as the built in tethering feature works perfectly on 3g and 4g. find the native tethering under menu>settings>wireless & networks>tethering and portable hotspot. From there you can use wifi tether or USB tether, both work.

As far as known issues, I have 0 (so far, it's only been a few hours). The only bug that had been annoying was the phone going to the lock screen after hanging up a call, but that issue has been fixed in Y. Flash it and give it a shot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eazzy28:
Which would be the better deck rom to use? And what kernal? Im not sure how to do any of the gps fixes ive been hearing either, lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I would use the latest build, which is 1.2y. Keep in mind that these are betas (although 99.9% stable and could be called stable, IMO) 1.2x and 1.2y both have the GPS fix incorporated into the build, so in theory GPS should work out of the box (it does for me). You *should'nt* need to do anything special to get GPS to work. As far as the kernel goes, every phone reacts a bit different with kernels, so it's kind of trial and error. I would suggest giving the CM kernel that comes with the ROM a try for a few days. It works extremely well on my phone. I also run Savaged Zen 2.2.1 CFS, and that performs well too. GodmodeV9 is a great 'no frills' kernel. It doesn't have sbc or havs, and is meant to be stable and have good performance, which it is and it does. Just give each kernel you try a few days to settle in before passing judgement on it. It takes a little bit of time to be able to tell how it's ultimately going to perform. Sometimes it makes a big difference by adjusting the governor settings too. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eazzy28:
Hey keep this post in mind because ill come back here and post more questions... Thanks... Ive been flashing so many and im just tired. I know its basically a trial and error but that gets tiring. Thanks man...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NargalaX:
Hey guys,

I just lately updated my CM7 from an older revision of it, (I think the thread for development was removed? I couldn't find it again) and installed the latest galaxysmtd (whats an mtd?) package on my phone. Prior to that, anyhow, I had an SD card issue.

- The 'SD Card' of the phone was unavailable (total and current usage)

Internal SD card was almost full (shouldnt be, but whatever)

My external worked fine.

Now, I removed my external (I didnt want it to get accidentally formatted etc) and I formatted my entire phone, wiped everything etc., and restarted and now both my Internal SD Card, 'SD Card' and External SD Card (external should be like this because its not in anymore) are unavailable. My phone pretty much just said I have 0 memory.

How can I fix my SD Cards ...?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
First, as to your opening questions....Brother, if you are asking what MTD is the you have a LOT of reading to do. GO to the CM7 Dev thread and get started.

As to the SD card issue...you FORMATTED the SD card, that is erased it fully? That may help explain why it is unavailable.

What firmware are you running at the moment?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NargalaX:
Haha, I would assume so.

My SD card(s) were not working previous to the format nor prior.

My phone is the Bell Vibrant I9000M

I'm using the CM7 06132011 Nightly (Todays)

and my kernel is 2.6.35.7-g2eb7780 atin@waltest9-ma #1 (if that helps .. )

:\

EDIT::

So.. I google'd MTD etc., lol and MTD is a seperate partition?

Maybe thats why my SD Card isnt working.. its not on the right partition in the first place?

-> was looking here.
[HTC Sensation] imkr1:
Hi,

I just install AirAttack HD game on my Sensation,, but unfortunately it's can't play

and i haven't try to test any HD games yet beside this one..

I'm wondering whether this Sensation can play such HD games or not??

Thanks..
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
Of course it can
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
It can't play Gameloft games. They 'are not supported on your phone' according to Gameloft.
[HTC Sensation] imkr1:
Please give me 1 or 2 link to download some HD games which our Sensation can play..

Thanks..
[HTC Sensation] tjjensen23:
Fyi dont ask for warez...

Links for paid games that you are gonna pay for is fine though. Just goto gameloft and buy them from there.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Some Gameloft games are released for the Sensation. I'm playing Let's Golf 2 HD.

I had troubles trying to get their site to link my account with having a Sensation to see what games were available. I was only successful by going to wapshop.gameloft.com from my phone.
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
Ive played GT Racing HD, The Settlers HD, Asphalt6 HD, Fast and Furious 5 HD, Assassins Creed, Cordy, Hawx, Reckless Racing and a few others.

They all worked fine, though Fast Five has an issue with resolution on the menu screen only and Settlers HD isn't full screen throughout the game.

It's just a matter of time for gameloft to make all compatible
[HTC Sensation] abuserkadayf:
lol what a question, whether the sensation can play hd games or not OFC it can !!

played succesfully and still playing

Asphalt 6 HD

NOVA 2 HD

ExZeus

Eternal LegacyHD

Samurai 2

Galaxy on fire 2

Modern Combat 2 HD

Pinball HD Tegra
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Buy them from the android marketplace and not from the gameloft site. If you buy from gameloft you can only do a one time install. So if you get a new phone later you're screwed. If you buy through the marketplace you can download as many times as you want. Plus if the game doesn't work you can always get a refund if you're fast enough.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
How does it handle these games? Is the gameplay smooth or is it a little jerky? I'm tempted to get rid of my vibrant for a sensation and want to make sure it can play games as smooth as my galaxyS.
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
Just copy the .apk and save it on the computer should work tho.. But yeah marked would be easier but can't find the games there...
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
I've tried that from my vibrant to my droid x and get an error. When you buy from the website I think it uses some sort of license tied to that phone + phone number.
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
Hmmm alright :( Kinda rubbish by gameloft then.. If u buy something it's yours and you should be able to do whatever u want with it.. (so HTC unlock the damn bootloader!)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tytntracker:
Hi,

Since a couple of days my Desire won't register on the GSM network. The sim is working fine if I put it in another phone, so that's not an issue.

The message I get when trying to manually choose my network is "Your simcard does not allow a connection to this network"?!

After some browsing on the web it seems that this happens sometimes but I cannot find a way to get it resolved. One of the tricks should be to manually toggle the network mode to GSM only or WCDMA only. The strange thing is that when I try that the phone instantly swithes back to GSM/WCDMA auto. To manually change network mode is not possible. Is this an indicator that something is wrong?

I have tried to re-flash the rom, installing the latest radio, toggeling flight mode on/off, etc.

What else can I do get it resolved?

Currently running my rooted Desire with:

LeeDroid 3.0.7

Radio 5.17.05.23

Appreciate the support!

Thx!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
.3gp is an agglomerate of the video format and audio format, which is .mp4 and .aac. It's normal that some programs will say .mp4 and others .3gp, because some say the format in which the whole file is made on, which is .3gp, and others will only say the video format, which is .mp4.

No Gingerbread for Desire!

Rather than starting a new thread...

http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/commun...ead-for-desire-due-to-memory-issues-10022721/

"We're sorry to announce that we've been forced to accept there isn't enough memory to allow us both to bring Gingerbread and keep the HTC Sense experience on the HTC Desire," the team wrote. "We're sincerely sorry for the disappointment that this news may bring to some of you."

So it's ok for users to live with an outdated OS that has Kernel vulnerabilities, leaving them prone to attack vectors that have since been fixed...just as long as HTC can keep foisting software crippling bloatware down peoples throats.

Well done HTC! *Slow hand clap.

I don't think it needs to say S ENG-OFF to be unlocked, just SHIP s-Off.
