[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
it shows the percentage of time the specific thig was running on battery. the real issue is like i said. the phone does not display those correctcly to begin with.

my experiment was an effort to prove it is time and not battery. thats why i never recharged, all i did was reboot so the battery stats will clear up.

if the percentages proved to be battery use it would not clear.

if you are curious how to do the experiment yourself the best way is to utilize the battery fixed (which is not very good may i add, is based on 2.3.3 and thats the major problem with the battery stats in settings reporting correctly) drain battery, and enter cwm and reset the battery stats manualy, then charge 100% and dont charge for the next 3 days, only reboot after 24 hours. wait 24 hours note your battery percentage (best method is setcpu battery info) and look at the battery stats (note how setcpu and battery stats are off sometimes up to 20%) do this 3 days and you will see the major difference and the more sense those stats makes. my next step will be to run the same experiment on 1.8.3 but im by far too busy.

i may add that i did notice the display issue. and all i could take for is that display is a general category, such as cell stand by. cell stand by is more than just your cellhpone signal chilling, if it was it be 100% its changing towers, data exchanges so on so on.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
You are wrong. The percentages are indeed related to the battery drain.

Having "phone idle" consuming most of the battery is actually GOOD, it means most of the time your phone wasn't doing anything but being on.

If you get low percentages on phone idle, that means the phone's cpu is being used a lot therefore you would get poor battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
what data do you have to support this?
[Atrix 4G General] RobertHavens:
If you touch "Screen 25%" in your example above it takes you to a detail screen that states "Battery used by the display and backlight".

In this example Display at 2:01 is not 48% of 13:07.

These percentages are battery used, not time.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
again, display is a category, that may have tons of stuff under its belt.

and the screen reference was a typo :p
[Atrix 4G General] helifixer:
Again though.... If it was simply time based then the Percentages would always be more than 100% added up.

For example:

While you are using twitter you are also using wifi, cell standby, android system etc..

To really simplify if I charged my phone fully and they took it off charger and immediately started using twitter for 10min and then checked battery stats your theory as I understand it would result in stats like this:

Display 100% / 10min

Twitter 100% / 10min

Cell standby 100% / 10min

Wifi 100% / 10min

As they were all on for the full 10min but clearly this is not the case
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
I have 3 days of conclusive data on a buggy battery system to point to time. please theorize and disscuss. but i feel 80% sure that im correct. when someone gets 3 days of data to show me to the contrary i will gladly amend the post. for right now im going back to having fun compiling.

yall disscuss!
[Atrix 4G General] przez:
I agree with you. The battery-stat app seems to work as it is supposed to. It shows how much % of battery was used on certain things so far. The total is always 100%.

IMO only thing that is strange is the high idle, which can be explained by widgets and motoblur data exchange that occure in a sleep mode.

I don't get this thread.
[Atrix 4G General] helifixer:
First thanks for your work on the atrix, however based on your initial thread I don't need 3 days of data to prove it's incorrect in the way it is written. The percentages always add up to 100 (+/- rounding errors) which immediately points to it being something that can be equally divided as a whole. Due to the multitasking of apps/services/hardware functions the total "on time" cannot be divided among apps/services without exceeding 100% because several things are on at once. Your theory requires too many assumptions at this point to be more valid than the thought that the %'s are based on the total battery usage to that point.
[Atrix 4G General] roscoejackson:
OP is wrong.

Try this: boot the phone and leave WIFI on the entire time, then tell me if it says WIFI is 100% after any given amount of time. Likely, it will show Wifi as under 10%, even if it was on 100% of the time. Because it has used under 10% of the battery consumed.
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
For my experience it all boiled down to the froyo radio on gingerbread consuming alot of the battery, after changing to the gingerbread radio my battery life is good again as it was with froyo.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Maybe we should just ask Motorola?
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
It doesn't seem to make sense like that. I always assumed that 'Display 35%' was what has eaten up that % of my battery from when I last unplugged. Unplug at 60%, check at 40%, out of that 20% battery drain, 35% of it was display. Displays eat a huge amount of battery life. (they always have)
[Atrix 4G General] xxgmon3yxx:
did u flash the radio that kenn posted in the dev section?
[Atrix 4G General] helifixer:
Lets keep on topic, this is about understanding the battery stats not what uses the most or how to improve battery life.

And as far as asking motorola, good idea however we could also read what it says when you click on each item to get the time the app/service has been on. For instance click on display and it says below graph " BATTERY USED by display and backlight" it does not say percent of time on.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
The percentages reflect the percent of spent battery... If your battery is at 50% and phone idle took up 50%... It doesn't mean that phone idle was on half the time, it means that phone idle has been chewing through 25% of your battery. Display should always be at the top... in all my time with android it has been this way. ... If the percentages reflected time why would it bother telling you how long its been running when you click on it.?
[Atrix 4G General] paravorheim:
I think we can all agree that we have no definitive answer yet. What we cant agree on is why the battery while on froyo was far better than gingerbread, no matter hoe you look at it.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
Does what I say not make sense? The numbers don't lie and honestly I thought this was common knowledge. I ain't playing that lets agree to disagree nonsense... I bet 5$ I'm right... :) if I'm wrong it would totally be worth the 5$ to learn how it really works.
[Atrix 4G General] helifixer:
Can't agree with you on either point really. More I think about it and look into it I believe I am right. % of total time on makes no sense and you can't make the numbers add up. I thought I might be missing something but Sam (no disrespect intended) has not done/proven anything to back up his OP.

As far as GB battery life with kens 4.5 and the battery fix on stock kernel my battery life is excellent. Right now 6.5hrs since charge, display on 1h 50, played about 40min of games, 10min phone call, surf web on wifi for 30min and I am sitting at 78%. Not sure, maybe I should be expecting more but seens equal or better than when I was on froyo.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
I'm jealous, that kernel gives me half ram:p I'm around 68% with only 9 hours uptime. I've dealt with the phone idle bug pretty well but I'll be relieved when we get it fixed.
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
Im getting great bat life. Light usage gets me about 20% in a day with 60% phone idle usage.

Trolling from my ATRIX 4G on probably the crappiest main US carrier
[Atrix 4G General] M16chronicals:
The 2.3 user guide, just google "Android user guide" to spot it, covers the purpose of the monitor pretty well.

It says that the monitor is measuring consumption not individual app uptime, which has been my experience. I've had high consumption apps jump high up without being up too long.
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
Mark already threatened me with banishment from moto forums lol
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
@sam

Sorry but you are incorrect in your assertion that the percentages have nothing to do with battery consumption.

I will explain this as simply as I can.

The percentages next to tasks in the battery page in settings relate to how much each task has used of the percent of charge consumed since reset/being plugged in.

Example:

Battery gauge says 80% remaining. Battery status page in settings says phone idle, 68%. What this means is that the phone idle task used 68% of 20% (100% - 80%) of your battery capacity, or 13.6% of the total available battery capacity (since bring plugged in or reset).

Confused? I thought so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangol:
I am running a 2.3.3 branded rom from my provider on a GT-I9000 device (based on JHJV9).

Using odin I flashed speedmod k15-t24 kernel to get root permissions.

I am done with all the backups and I no longer need root, so i want to flash back the original kernel of this rom. I have the original zImage file of this kernel, and I tried to flash it back using SGS kernel flasher, but the procedure fails.

I want to try flashing it back using odin, but the zImage file is not packed in tar.

My question is -

Using winrar, can I remove the zImage file from the speedmod tar, and then paste the original rom zImage file instead? Will I be able to flash it using odin then?

If the answer is no, how do I create a proper tar file for odin with the desired zImage file?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
You just need to tar the zimage - you can name it anything- see Fugu mod root thread. The tar creation seems very sensitive. I tried 7zip and peazip and both did not work. The last one suggested in fugu mod did. The other programs created tars that all looked ok as files but would not flash in odin. No status bar on the phone and progress stopped on odin. The good news is that you aren't bricked if you pull the battery and start again.

You can also use fugu mod root and then keep your stock kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fy168:
another Alternative is to use Heimdall to flash yr prefer modem or kernel...

a little bit difficult to understand heimdall use, but not difficult to use. Only catch that u need to watch out is yr need to be in the same directory of the file that u want to flash..

u can know more about heimdall by search thru Google.. for heimdall for galaxy s. hope this help

Thanks for the answers,

Perhaps the Heimdall method will be easier. I'll start doing my homework on this platform.

need help with original kernel file...

hey dangol, i have JHJV9 too, (JHJVB after kies update) and i was trying to root my phone but last time i did i messed up the signal strength, internet, etc. and had to take it back to orange. so this time im taking a backup of everything including the original kernel, which i cant do because you need root access to backup a kernel which entitles flashing a different kernel anyway, so i looked on the internet for an original; samfirmware.com and israeli forums and know one has it, so i was wondering if you could send me the original kernel in a file i could use with odin, and the CSC files if you have it. I'd really appreciate any help you give, iv'e been stuck for weeks.

I bought a new galaxy ace s5830 yesterday. It has a problem with the mobile network. Not getting the mobile connectivity in some location. (For eg:- On the 6th floor of the building its not working, Ground floor its works) Full range is showing on mobile screen on all locations.but unable to make/receive calls. When I replace the sim card to another mobile, the mobile line is working properly. Could you please help me to solve this issue. Your earlier response is highly appreciated.

If another mobile line is working properly, it only means that the problem is the network coverage of the mobile network you are using.

[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
this is logcat (bootlog)

i try RSDlite over 20times (try 5 version sbf)

but i can't success bootup

i can use open recovery and check everything and look ok...
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Does RSDLite finish 100% successful and then can't boot? Did you try it without sdcard?
[Milestone XT720 General] pajo985:
I guess that you have tried to install 2.2 on your XT, and you are in boot loop (M logo), but you can enter bootloader mode, and if you do RSD lite shows imei, and other data something like this: "000x000000x00"?

some XT720 have problems with open recovery (possible?) and if you flash OR and put 2.2 on it you will brick your mobile (I managed to do that, and a few other people, and unfortunately only solution is motorola repair center - you can't unbrick it)

for others:

I think that you can test if your mobile is gonna be bricked in a simple way...

root your phone, download "ledmeknow" from market, and if there isn't detected any LEDs then don't flash 2.2 on your phone

EDIT

I see that you can enter open recovery...if you can, then you are safe

just wipe all data from it, flash new sbf and you will be fine
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Not replying back so must have resolved it.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
How can you use OpenRecovery after flashing a SBF? The hijacked sh will be missing... after flashing a stock sbf you have to root the phone and install the OpenRecovery hijacks. If you can't boot, how do you do that? So there must be something wrong with your drivers or RSDlite. You could also try sbf_flash on Linux or MacOS if you think RSDlite is messing up.

On my Milestone XT720 always have to use the Motorola Recovery to do a factory reset after flashing the Motoroi XT720 sbfs because it won't boot immediately after flashing. Not sure if that could be a problem for flashing Motoroi on Motoroi, though.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I downloaded the gb leak from LG when it came out. I liked it at first but I missed the LG camera. So I flashed CWM with nvflash. I did a nandroid backup. I was still not rooted yet. Then I flashed Eagles Blood 1.05 Froyo then did the supeoneclick root method and then flashed faux kernel. I happened to notice that I kept the new baseband the whole time. Which was a surprise to me. Do jot know if this will help anyone but just thought maybe someone might want to know if they wanted the baseband. I am not sure if this will work with other roms but I tried it with Eagles Blood 1.05 Froyo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
I'm pretty sure none of the ROMs in this forum have a baseband included in the .zip file. So none of them should change the baseband in any way.

Since no dev has uploaded a flashable update for the baseband (probably so nobody bricks their phone), the only way to get it is by using the lg updater tool.

It seems that the 2.3.3 roms and the 2.3.4 roms from cm7 source are working with the new baseband, I haven't checked to see whether any based on faux's aosp are working.

Hope that helps anybody.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wu_wei_lion:
Can you make a nandroid of Eagle's Blood 1.0.5 with the new baseband and post it here? I'm trying to do the update via LG's program but it's bricked my phone and crashed windows 7 twice. This is my first experience with the dreaded blue screen of death!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
if you're thinking a nandroid will backup the radio, you're wasting your time. if that were the case,everyone could simply flash the rooted gb leak that is posted and instantly have the new baseband.

FOR ANYONE THAT IS CURIOUS--AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THE NEW BASEBAND WITHOUT FIRST FLASHING THE RECENT GB LEAK.

not yelling at you tidewaterns, just wanted to make that clear to everyone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I am not sure. I just posted this on the forums because of people wanting the new baseband. I did a backup of it and I will post it if anyone wants to give it a try. Just let me know. Do I need to check with doniqcc before I post it since he is the original creator and I am definitely not trying to step on someones toes. I am in no way shape or form a dev like him I was just trying to help out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
OMG it wouldnt matter.... the radio/baseband is NOT included in a nandroid... anyways... how was the new radio on froyo???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I do not know how it got on there. The way I got it on there was by doing the steps above. I was not trying to achieve anything. I just wanted to flash Eagles Blood Froyo. It was a complete accident I just noticed that it stayed the same after flashing Eagles Blood Froyo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
once you have the new baseband, you can flash any g2x rom in the world and retain the same baseband. think about it. has lg or tmobile released a radio for this phone yet...separately? no. the baseband in the leak was flashed along with the rom. there is no other way to get it other than to go through kdz or lg updater. nandroid cannot and will not ever backup the radio .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I got it about it does not retain it. I was just letting someone know that is a way to retain it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swjj22:
I'm curious to know does the baseband contain anything that fixes random reboots and other issues that we are not getting in other roms that just came out without it's presence?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] logansfolly:
Hi guys,

I recently bought a second hand x10 mini pro from a friend and aside from a few cosmetic issues its running fine. However im now considering rooting the phone and changing the rom to one of the 2.2 ones available.

My dilema as it were is getting it right.... So my plan is as follows:

1.backup contacts etc from phone.

2. Root using one of the methods available from the forums.

3. Again from the forums upgrade/replace the rom on the phone

4. Cry/celebrate as the phone now is bricked/working amazingly well on the new rom.

I guess basically since ive not done something like this since the old xda2s im asking, what should I be wary of and is there anything I should be carefull of during the whole process

Thanks

Jim
