[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
I stated the phone was mostly idle today. My phone has been idle like that before (entire day) and on 2.2.2 the battery was at 20% or so usually.

edit: IMO testing the battery usage when the phone is idle is probably a more accurate test between 2.2.2. and 2.3.4. It helps see how much battery the background services run on 2.3.4. With the screen on/phone in active use there's too many variables that are draining the battery = tough to make an accurate comparison. That is unless you have some sort of automated test script running that enables the screen and automatically walks through several apps for 2+ hours. I doubt anyone here does that though :).
[Atrix 4G General] JLHumbert:
My battery life is not any better. If anything, it's slightly worse.
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
Pretty much the same for me...
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
agree with that, especially with screen time going past 1-2 hours.
[Atrix 4G General] anthonywoo:
I'm not rooted or anything... I have AT&T version. I get horrible reception in my home so I usually turn off data network and have wifi on. I was using "extend controls" app from market... no with the update a few things wont work namely the widget to turn off data network connection. I see the problem, it renames the wrong APN (AT&T US Tether)... the default APN is AT&T HSDPA, not sure if its okay to switch. That all said my battery drains VERY fast... Went to bed at around 1am with 50% and was totally drained (phone died) by 8am. My only thought is that it was searching for a signal all night with wifi on...

Any thought on this?
[Atrix 4G General] ts8801:
I have had amazing battery life. I closed tonight so my routine was pretty much the same. I usually listen to iheartradio for about 2 hours while im counting down drawers other wise idle except for checking twitter on my breaks. That usually puts me at somewhere between 30-40% and I got home with 70% today...
[Atrix 4G General] Jophess:
I've somehow managed to get 2 days and 11 hours while still being at 12%. I haven't really used it much, with only ~3 hours of screen time, but I did use it for about 2 hours to listen to music with.

(On RedPill, not just 2.3.4 pudding)
[Atrix 4G General] redhawk79:
My battery life seems terrible. Was on Gingerblur 4.5 and unlocked rooted and flashed ken's "safe" 4.5.91 update and my battery just died in 5.5 hrs. Anyone got suggestions?
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
Do you have the 4.5.91 radio (radio section near the bottom of the 1st post)? Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version = N_01.77.30P
[Atrix 4G General] Maroon Mushroom:
Glad battery life is looking good. I'd love to see some comparisons to non OEM batteries. I know some say 2k+ mAH but you never know about quality.

I think the dual core CPU is to thank here. If processes are getting completed much quicker, then that means less active CPU time.
[Atrix 4G General] J-man67:
Unlocked, rooted, over-clocked @ 1100mhz, Kenneths Rom. My battery is outstanding! Under-clock to 750 with screen off and run "maximum battery saver" mode. Runs flawlessly and no issues.

Just updated, my Atrix was warm all the time, and my battery was dead in less than 4 hours mostly iddle. Then, I uninstalled Juicedefender, and yesterday made 10 hours with 40% left !

I supose there is a problem between JD & 2.3.4.

[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Indeed, does radio affect battery life at all?

Cheers
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
It's possible. IMO I would update to the .30 radio to sync up with what the official OTA has (2.3.4 with the .30 radio) just to eliminate the radio as a culprit for the battery drain.

A radio searching for a signal and runaway services (i.e. exchange service checking the server constantly) seem to be the top causes for draining a battery fast.

A faulty radio can kill a battery pretty quick. At work I have horrible reception (inside a metal building) and without a microcell my battery will drain FAST.
[Atrix 4G General] redhawk79:
Alright I'll give it a shot and let everyone know what happens. thanks gnahc
[Atrix 4G General] frviana:

[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
I am getting HORRIBLE battery drain. I am getting maybe 4 to 5 hours then dead. Yesterday I had to drive 4 hours and when my phone was in the car dock the battery stayed at a consistent state. There is something using crazy battery to the point that the car charger is just enough to power the phone but not charge the battery. I put the phone in the car dock @ 20% and when I took it out 3 hours later it was still at 20%, didnt charge at all. I am stock ATT 2.3.4 never unlocked BL and no root.
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
IMO if you can't get it figured out in the next day or so, punt and do a factory reset. Do the battery stats provide anything useful? Something like a chat or email sync service going nuts?

When I applied the 2.3.4 OTA over a newly flashed .83 my phone was acting up like crazy: motorola.service FCs, slide to unlock never appeared (no password,fingerprint, etc set up). After a factory reset everything worked just fine.
[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
I actually did a factory reset the day after 2.3.4 was released and installed. This didnt change anything. The top item is phone idle. I am debating unlocking my BL and rooting so I can run battery calibration. I just need to read up on everything like what CWM is and pudding and all the other funky named hacks :)
[Atrix 4G General] legion21:
It would help if you said your total uptime and how long your screen was actually on, I found that makes it easier to compare
[Atrix 4G General] intruderii:
Are you syncing with e-mail accounts? Mine was syncing with my Live account every ~2 seconds causing terrible battery drain, and it only happened after the GB OTA update.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
I was flashing a rom on one of my phones, just as it was rebooting my battery fell out (don't ask) my phone is on and seems fine but nothing root related works and the market doesn't work, my phone just buzzes a bunch of times and finally force closes. Can I use Odin one click to restore back to stock and start over? I used it for the first time to get out of a soft brick yesterday.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Use ultimate unbrick
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
I ready used Odin, worked fine. What's the difference between the 2?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
RE: what's the difference

The difference in the two is that the Ultimate Unbrick is 99.9% sucessful and anything else is close to 50% sucessful in most cases. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Yes sir i get cleaner stock imo
[Samsung Infuse 4G] usnswcc:
What would you do if you used ultimate unbrick and your phone gets to the home screen and reboots into a loop? How would you fix a boot loop even after you unbricked it? Could there possibly be anymore fixes or would you feel safe sending it back under warranty?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
I worry alot, IMO I would use ultimate unbrick package or try to.get into cement and flash a Odin package again. But most who.have gotten to that have been fine returning the phone in that state! I just would hate to get caught

infuse.....infused.......infusion.......
[Samsung Infuse 4G] usnswcc:
If the phone was rooted, would Odin remove all root traces as well? I can't get into my home screen to use superoneclick to unroot it. I'm afraid it will have traces if I send it back for a replacement.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Depends what package you.used there's a uckd5 completely stock and one that's modded and rooted

infuse.....infused.......infusion.......
[Samsung Infuse 4G] usnswcc:
If I'm not mistaken mine is ucke3 or was. I used ultimate unbrick and it removed cwm because when I click on "install packages" it gives me the red signature error (forgot exactly what it says). But when I flashed the uckd5 rooted, I was able to get into cwm but when I tried to flash infused rom from cwm it still boot loops at the infused home screen so I'm lost. I'm thinking it's done.

[HTC Sensation] Rugburned:
Just picked up my htc sensation 4g last night. My old phone was a galaxy, and when I got in range of wifi, the 4g would turn off. Sometimes on the sensation it stays on, or comes on from time to time while in range of wifi.. Is this normal, if not, is there a way to fix it?
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
I think this normal due to the wifi issue it could be choosing the best connection the only way u will have true control is by turning the 4g off, etc
[HTC Sensation] Rugburned:
How do you turn 4g off?
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
Just bring down the notifications and then hit the quick settings tab then push the mobile toggle.. Make sure the wifi is still on
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
Know this post is a little dated, just wondering if you are still having the issue.

I have a Sensation and 4G is never on when I'm connected to wifi.... NEVER. So if its still happening I really would really check into that.
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
I stand corrected. I just noticed that my Sensation that both the 4G and wifi icon was displayed at the same time.

It happenned when after I openned the MyAccount app. This app does not work over wifi so phone automatically switched on the 4G radio in order for the app to work. Once you leave the app it remains running in the background which causes both icons to remain displayed.

So if you use this app (or maybe any other app that does not work over wifi) this could be the cause for both icons to be on.

What I don't know is if it is actually using both wifi and 4g at the same time or does it turn the 4G completely off until the app requiring it is exited.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Bump.

I have the same issue. I use wifi exclusively at home, but sometimes seemingly at random I see a cell connection icon in the notification bar as well. Today it's been on for several hours. I have not used My Account in weeks. When I look in Task Manager no apps are running.

I assume there's some app that "needs" to connect via a cell tower, but don't know how to identify it. Can this be blocked, and if so would that just cause some other issue? Seems like a really unnecessary battery drain, but not a huge problem far as I can tell, just odd.
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
Yeah, I just had it happen to me again a few days ago but this time it was while using the Market. I wanted to purchase an app and noticed that now there is an option of adding it to your mobile carriers bill instead of a credit card so I opted to added to to my bill. Well I am assuming so that t-mobile needed a direct connection with my phone for billing so of course the 4G icon all of a sudden pops on.

In short I am saying I am sure it happens when certain apps are running that need cellular data vs WiFi. Don't know if you can block it but if you do those apps will not perform correctly. Also there are many other things running other than just what the stock task manager shows you.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I understand some apps apparently need a cell connection for some reason, perhaps it's location tracking, but mine's been connected for 4 hours straight today. Hard to imagine there's that much data being transferred on a 4G connection. Really seems like something is hung. Just tried putting my phone is airplane mode, then back to regular mode. When I turned it back on the 4G icon appeared for a few seconds then went off and is staying off. So looks like a force interrupt unstuck whatever it was.

Hi

Hi am really crazy im about to explode because i cant install Plants vs Zombies on my device....

Hi use Link2sd and my 2nd partition is 500+ mb free

And my internal memory has 120mb.

The apk its 73mb and i found another 1 for 50 mb.

And when i try too install it says " i have no space try to remove some apps to get more space blablablablabla manage applications cancel"

I deleted my cache......

All my apps are link2ed to link2sd

i Tried factory reset and then tryed to install nothing...

Link2sd only links apps to sd after installing on the internal memory but i cant install on the internal memory....

WHAT DO I DO?:confused::confused:

first of all, dont post another thread on the same topic (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186863)

and yeah, like what aswasw said, its probably a problem with link2sd. try undoing it and see how that goes. if you still want something like link2sd, try data2sd or apps2sd (im not quite familiar with link2sd). and if you can install cm7 for your phone, do it. it allows you to force any app to move to sd and also gives you the option to automatically install your apps to sd
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
I got my phone back just 3 days ago and figured i'd finally customize it. I FINALLY figured out a safe and full-proof way of rooting my samsung galaxy s i9000M. I FINALLY figured out that I need to switch the <3e> recovery to <2e> recovery so that I'm able to flash custom ROMs.

Here's the annoying part...

I STILL can't set up Clockworkmod recovery instead of the stock recovery menu. The tutorial I'm following specifies that I need this recovery in order to get everything workin.

I have the phone rooted and I have ROM manager installed too.

Won't someone tell me how to install it on my phone?

I've tried this website:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
You mean you don't have recovery yet or you can't install any zip files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdr001:
You'll probably need to do it via Odin.

If you look at the guides here on XDA you'll see easily how to do this.

There are probably easier ways to do by now, but you can follow the more traditional method without much difficulty and not really with that many screw up chances.

Just grab a custom Kernel, like SpeedMod or so, for Odin installation.

Follow the steps that you'll see on the Odin guide to install just the Kernel. Once that is done the Recovery mode will be altered and you can start using CWM normally from there on (or until you install some other full ROM that replaces the kernel and recovers the official recovery mode).

I use the debloated gingerbread rom from RMK. I like that one alot. Although recently I have been getting bad data issues. I will prolly try both of these OMGB roms and see which one I like better.

The difference is one has more customized features and the first link is mainly just plain gingerbread with a different font style.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ganj_420:
I'm diggin OMFGB right now. Very simple with enough customization options to keep me happy, I'm not really a customization freak though lol. Its been very stable for me since I flashed the 7/24 nightly and is a great ROM overall.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
If you want to stay mostly stock, rmk's Gingersense. Otherwise, I'm running OMGB, and now that I've figured out some more "major" issues, I'm not seeing myself going back.

OMFGB is a slightly more customized version of OMGB, nightlies only (90% sure on that), but still pretty stable too though.

I wish some other ROMs besides RMK had a compass fix. I use google sky and google maps a lot so it's the only ROM I use. I wish some other ROMs would fix the compass issue like they did with the OTA GB update.

left CM for OMFGB so far Im impressed. I realized I really liked sense and I can actually hear people when they call. I also like the fact when you dial a couple digits of the persons name it brings up their #, Not sure whats that feature is called but That was something I was missing in CM

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Sherwood1:
I've tried every Rom and all nightlies. None offer any improvement in speed vs Debloated Sense UI. Except for quadrant which really means nothing in the real world. When compared stock sense still the best.

Sense has the most fluid browser. Best pinch to zoom vs gingerbred stock browser. Sense email client destroys gmail client. Pinch to zoom email only in sense UI.

Signal strength and WiFi strength rated best by far compared to any Rom.

Looks well sense is the best looking. I've noticed anyone that has stock Google tries to pretty there phone up with sense UI fakes.

I think that going to a stock Rom. Is a downgrade. The only reason for stock Google is if your phone gets left behind in updates..... Than the dev saves you with a update you might not get with sense.

Purist will always disagree.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
No browser compares to dolphin browser imo.

I get the exact same cell signal in any Rom.

I like the gmail app more than either email app, and k9 is the best imo

Sense is good, but will always be more bloated than launcher pro. And lp has sense widgets, is more themeable, and doesn't have three ways to immediately open the same feature (personalize app in sense)

My phone looks awesome with a red gb theme and I have 10 icons in a scrollable dock.

I'm not bashing the other. This is just my opinion.

Sense is good, but I like launcher pro with my theme more. Therefore cm7 is better for me :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
RMK Gingersense is my daily driver. No problems here that I can find. No lag, so why use O/C (unless you want to U/C to save battery?).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] E14thSt.:
Using RMK'S Gingersense. Incall volume is what it should be. The mic (phone) works with ear buds plugged in. Went straight to CM7 after Alpharev. Nightlys 3,8,9,16 all were stable @ 1.3 Ghz. Just had issues with audio. At nightly #8 onward I used Tiamat 1.03. There was a subtle if any improvement in incall volume. But the dinc2 still wasn't using the right mic. I returned the wired headset thinking it was faulty- the other end couldn't hear me at all. Talk 1.3 installer from market works as advertised on Gingersense. With CM7 had to run it then flash a downloaded talk 1.3 zip with CWM.

I liked CM7 but nonworking wired headset and low incall volume was a deal breaker.

Does sense kernel have binary blob for HTC audio hardware?
