So if I backup my apps using Titanium Backup, I should be able to wipe, flash, then re-install my apps and be somewhat back to what I had pre-wipe?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
well so far the battery life is outstanding...I am having trouble killing this thing so I can go to sleep..lol....after a full recharge I will let you know how it runs tomorrow...thanks for the great rom
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Hey, your posting says Google Music isn't working? What exactly is everyone's issue?

Mine is working PERFECTLY :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I haven't kept up on all your posts some I'm not exactly sure what you are wanting to do.

So to make life simple if you want Lagfix Enabled check both boxes in Voodoo controls and then reboot.

If you are looking to Disbale Lagfix then uncheck both boxes and reboot the device.
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Yes disable in voodoo control. Then reboot and you should hear the voice at startup.
[Verizon Droid Charge] porlo:
Lagfix does NOT impact battery. I have been running latest gummycharged and humble both with lagfix on, and humble has got much better battery life. Same radio (EE4), same PBJ OC kernel, and I use same apps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I was following your post that disabling lagfix would improve battery life considerably. I disabled it and it's still dropping precipituously. What does lagfix do and why would I want it off?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
That's what I thought, and also what the evidence shows. Curious as to how fast everyone's battery is draining on 4g every hour on this rom. If I use it minimally, meaning just to look at emails, I drop 9-14% an hour. My roommate is on the stock rom and his phone can last all day.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
IMO you can not compared devices to another. Everyone is build with different hardware so they will all function differently. Plus every person has different apps, and may have them setup differently also on when to update/refresh and so forth.

as far a battery life goes if it is draining more the 5% an hr then there is an issue somewhere IMO. Personally I think the whole issue boils down to the network and how well a particular device grabs signal. I've seen mine while on LTE burn anywhere from 2% all the way up to 7% and hr sitting idle depending on where I am. When it gets over 5% I'll keep a closer eye on it and normally I will find tha tis it switching between LTE and 3G. That said I was down in the city of Chicago a wk ago which is solid LTE service and it was only eating up about 1% an hr. As soon as I go back to the burbs where I live it was back to the norm of around 4%/hr on average.
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Is Google Music considered broken because it doesn't show the "settings" key?

That's an easy fix. Sorry for posting twice, I'm just trying to see what the OP means by Google Music being broken
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Lagfix changes the file system to a faster linux based thing.. in theory if your phone can access something faster it will use more battery power. If you don't have a ton of widgets or bloat then lagfix isn't really necessary. It just makes.the.phone a bit more responsive when loading stuff. The only diff I see with it on is how fast the popup for picking widgets is. Its instant with lagfix and takes about 2 seconds without it. Lol I can spare 2 seconds of my life I think. 2-3% idle is what im getting per hour.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrpickem:
I'm running 1.4 with no issues. Google music streams fine, I have voodoo on(turn off to flash & then back on) and today's Netflix update to 1.3 today works flawlessly too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mintcookies:
Probably a noob question but how do u boot directly into cwm from a power off state? What are the buttons u have to press down?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Lol. Hold vol up and home at the same time then hold power until samsung logo appears the let go.of power but continue to hold vol up and home until cwr pops up
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
this makes very little sense to me but hey if it works for ya then dont fix what isnt broken!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tucknology:
When this starts happening I disable 4G radio and just stick with 3G. Does anyone else do that?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
2-3% is unbelievable. Which battery monitor app do you use? I'm using Battery Monitor Widget which is supposedly takes the least amount of power compared to Juice and I'm still getting around 8-9% on idle! And I hardly used it this morning.

Can you please post your battery serial number? I'd like to compare it, perhaps it's a different production later or something.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
I had mine set for 4G all day, btw.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
I lose about 1% an hour when the display is off, with lagfix enabled, data and email sync on, 4g on. Same good battery life from humble 1.2 - 1.4
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Yep all the time seeing as LTE drops out about a block and a half from my office. So doing so drastically helps being forced to 3G. Better yet if you can be on Wifi it will conserve even more battery life then 3G. That said when I'm not mobile and have access to Wifi I always set it to that as my first choice.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
once your on a wifi connection it will disconnect the 3g/4g connection....well the icon goes away...I assume its just using the wifi
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dartagnan_007:
Why does the Widget report the battery as a 1200 mAH when the battery in the phone is 1600 mAH?

Thanks

Scott
[Verizon Droid Charge] epionx111:
kind of sucks when your 4G phone says 3G on its status bar too... ha ha

I can confirm this tho.. something is wrong with the app on my tab is says 1200 as well.

the percentage is right tho.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
I'm not sure why. After you had mentioned that, I updated to the latest version. In it, there is a new option where you can enter 1600mAh, manually.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
Haha. LTE Switch put to good use. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Not using anything to monitor battery.. I just calibrated correctly and I don't have any widgets or anything syncing.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
Thank you for the info. I don't mean to derail too much into battery discussion but my battery life sucks, and I have been following the development of humble thread from day one in hopes that this rom would be the savior. But so far, some people with the rom in place are still having some sort of battery issue, not unlike mine while still running voodoo. Unfortunately, it's not easy to quantify application usage vs battery life. I just hope the posting by whom with battery issue could be more descriptive. Chart, no of syncing email accounts, 4G signal strength, etc. would help, too.

I have 2 gmail accounts syncing, 4 bars on 4G, -78 dBm. You've seen the chart, it's doing something once every 20 minutes, I don't know what.
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
I removed or froze literaly everything I dont use.. everything bluetooth.. most of the google services, voice and talk. Browser is horrible with ram/battery.. gallery 3d replaced with quickpic. Its totally stripped so nothing that isn't necessary for what I do on my phone isn't there. There is a ton of bs that goes on in the background that doesn't need to be there. Just go in and get rid of everything you don't need. (Live wallpaper picker all that crap)

You may have a bad battery too man..
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
this may be difficult but any way you can make a list and PM it to me so I can do mine?
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
As soon as I get home (30 mins) I will put together a list including kernel and rom settings.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SlickNashville:
Stock Ticker App

I can't recall who posted it first, but someone with the bad battery life said they ran a stock watching program all day. I am curious to know how often that updates, it could be almost constant during the open hours of the NYSE or whatever market you are following.

Can you disable that particular app and see if that contributes to your problem?

[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Okay so I re calibrated my battery again yesterday morning by charging phone while ON, to 100% then I turned it off and charged to 100% again. I unplugged it then plugged it back in it took about 5 mins for it to get back to 100%. I left the phone OFF and unplugged. Waited about 30 seconds and plugged it back in. It took another 5 mins to go back to 100%. I repeated this about 15 times (yeah a lot) phone was OFF while I did this. It took 15 times to show 100% immediately on plug in while OFF. Then I kept it plugged in and booted into cwr. Got to the clear battery stats screen, unplugged then hit clear. Drained the battery throughout yesterday until the phone got to 0% and shut itself off. I then fully charged while phone was OFF. I removed it from the charger at midnight. It is bow 7:09am where I live had 4g on all night and my phone is at 94% so that is less than 1% per hour idle with 4g on. Hope this helps those who can't find how to calibrate a battery. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Aclim:
Nice. Im gonna use that same technique to calibrate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Interesting, that's exactly what I did last night, and this morning I got off of the charger and right now that I'm at work, im currently at 2 hours and 49 minutes unplugged and my phone is at 99 percent.

However, I think I found a big culprit . For you people who use Microsoft Exchange email like me, DELETE the Touchwiz E-mail "OZE-mail"

I caught it consuming over 49 percent CPU last night, thanks to Watchdog.

I'm going to try Touchdown to see how it works with battery life. Stock e-mail.apk doesn't work for me as it NEVER displays any HTML content in my e-mails
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
@CriticalHit.

I don't suggest removing "Vending.apk", that can mess with your market
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
I literliterally never use he market. I have like 5000 apps from torrent files. :-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] rmanaka:
I'm interested in your findings as My wife and I use an Exchange Server BUT we also use Gmail coming in separately (wife needs a hard separation between our server and the university server). I used touchdown on my AT&T Atrix & Inspire, but did not like the fact that it keeps a separate contact database and calendar. Still haven't found a good app to manage exchange meeting invitations, esp. for rescheduling. Thanks!

p.s. what are you using for push email (other than touchwiz ozemail)? mail.apk?

@criticalhit:

Does the LTE Switch really work for the Charge? I've been looking for a widget that will turn it off when not needed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
All LTE Switch does it give you a shortcut to your wireless network settings. That said, I use it as a nice little shortcut.
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
Yup, I use it that way also. Would be nice to have an actual toggle though. :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Yeah see above post it works well as a shortcut. There is a one click widget for the charge too, but free is better.
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Just finished watching kickass on netflix on my phone and only used 18% of my battery... sick.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:

They removed the device authentication so it works on all phones now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
Yea, saw that one. See the reviews, seems that one isn't actually a widget, unless the reviewer's mistaken. I'd pay a buck for sure for a true toggle widget, but seems like there isn't one yet that works with the DC.
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
I don't ever buy anything so I don't look at the reviews... sorry dood.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tarheel23:
I have used touchdown on several devices, droid X, thunderbolt, and now the charge. I have no specific data to pass along, but I can tell you that there has never been any noticable difference in how long my battery lasts, with or without it.

In other words, I don't believe it has much of a negative impact on battery life.
[Verizon Droid Charge] turbodogfishhead:
I bought that. There are two parts to it, LTE Choose which just takes you to the settings, and ToggleLTE which actually flips between modes with a tap. Awesome. I didn't notice at first so I was bummed too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I'm running battery monitor widget to try and determine what exactly is happening when my battery starts to precitously drop. I switched to 3g only, but still experienced around 14% per hour drop. One thing I notice is that my power usage, listed as mA fluctuates considerably. It regularly runs in the 300 range, but will sometimes spike to 900 for no apparent reason. As you can imagine, this kills the battery.

Can anyone else run this widget and let me know the average power consumption being used in 4g and 3g?
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Downloading now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
Great. The more people who do this and report back, the faster we can diagnose the battery draining issue that affects some and not others.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mintcookies:
what happened to the battery mod zips?

I still have the updated honeycomb zip (the one with larger 4G/3G icons)

will flashing that over 1.42 do any harm?

also for some reason I lost Root upon flashing 1.42 with CWR
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
you shouldnt of lost root...thats odd...re download the update and retry it again please...I cannot answer about the battery icons though as the bases may be different and conflict....once you reflash this one though it should wipe out the old battery icons you were using

what version were you coming from?
[Verizon Droid Charge] mintcookies:
coming from humble 1.4, with PBJ 7-10 kernal no voodoo

reflashed 1.42 again but cant get root access

just gonna try flashing with ODIN

kinda a pain to restore all the settings again tho
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
not sure what happened there..I installed mine over the top of a previous version with no issues
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
Woot! It's friday! 1.42 is out! Downloading now! Going in first thing in the morning!
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
OK I bought it too, thanks for the tip. Indeed, it is a one-click toggle if you make a shortcut to ToggleLTE, which was worth the 99 cents. It's not a widget, so you don't get a status indicator, but still the easiest way yet to turn on/off 4G.
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
Up and running on 1.42. Thanks Danalo! Really like the new 4g/3g icon. The other one was just too small for me. Will report back.

Awesome, this is up and running!

Going to get a few things done and completely wipe the phone and start fresh.
[Verizon Droid Charge] strictlyphat:
dont know if its just me or not but......

i was on stock for my full first day.

i downloaded the 1.4.2 update for odin and flashed it direct through odin

it booted up no problems and i didnt even wipe data. all my stuff from stock was still there and apps and everything. maybe i was just lucky or maybe the dev is just awesome. i was astonished tha ti didnt have to re install everything(i hate TB)

thanks again man my first experience with my charge has been awesome and i look forward to future develpment especial miui(hint hint)

the only hiccup was on boot it forced closed initial startup or something but i think thats becasue you removed startup wizard.

now i just gotta find stock recovery in case i have issues to go back to stock.

thank you verizon for having a ****ty fascinate i could use for a year then upgrade for FREE to my charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] asdecker:
Oh by the way, the bootdown animation is waaay cooler than bootup. Any way to switch this?

As far as I know, the boot-up animation is controlled by the kernel. I might be wrong, though.

Danalo, do you know if it's safe or not to run the "nuke clock" to get rid of the time on the notification bar? Will it conflict with the video streaming or the new 3G/4G notification?

Dock Settings

I must be overlooking a setting somewhere, is it possible to add more shortcuts to the dock on the bottom.

The default has the Phone, App Drawer, Browser. Can I add two more shortcuts down there or do I need a different launcher?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
I've noticed if you leave the phone plugged in for too long, it seems to charge to 100% and drift back down to 95% (even though it still indicates 100%). My guess is it's some sort of battery protection to stop it from burning itself out or whatever (I'm totally not a battery expert). After that, when it would normally tick from 95% to 94%, it displays as going from 100% to 94%.

I've seen a few other people mention the same thing on here and a few other forums, regardless of ROM.
