RE: force closes, usually it means you restored apps or data that need to be reinstalled. If an app FCs, uninstall and reinstall it.

RE: battery life.

You can't make a judgement until you run a calibrate cycle and go through at least one charge cycle. Usually the first battery cycle on a new rom seems like really battery life, then things improve quickly. Since the rom has only been leaked for about 18 hours now I don't think anyone can give a useful opinion on battery life.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I just flashed from midnight 5.3 and everything is running a-ok here. Try wiping the unneeded files from your sd card and delete the default android files before reinserting your sd card into a newly flashed eg22 rom.
[Epic 4G General] bondosho:
I flashed it at around 10am this morning, and with some pretty good, but not heavy use, I made it to about 6pm. When flashing this morning, I was around 92%. So yes, battery life is pretty good. Nothing will beat SRF, but now that I've tasted the gingerbread, I'm not sure I can go back to Froyo.

*Edit* Since being off the charger for 4 hours, and surfing the internet on both 3g and 4g, chatting on gtalk, multiple text messages, I'm at 76%. I'm impressed.
[Epic 4G General] dcowboys2184:
You gotta be kidding right?
[Epic 4G General] Bobulus:
Here's hoping EG22 is better than EF02 for battery usage. For some reason, EF02 would let my battery get as low as 80% while still reporting a full charge via blue LED. :P

Spare parts works in gingerbread, except the battery stat stuff.

If you just want the battery stat stuff, gingerbread actually comes with a decent graph and statistics of your battery since last charge. It's in Settings->Applications->Battery Use, as I recall.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
20 hours and I am at 30%

SRF 1.2 after 24 hours I am usually around 50%

Extended battery of course.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
buy tegrak ultimate and UV.. you should get similar battery life then
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
UV doesn't guarantee better battery life and can be very damaging.

I'd rather just go back to SRF.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
Really? hm I've been Uv'ing since custom UV was introduced along with many users. All I got was better battery life..
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
I'm thinking he's referring to a freeze which could corrupt data without journaling. I haven't heard of uv'ing causing any hardware related problems.

I just hit 20 hours and my battery is at 79%. I haven't used my phone to heavily but, have been frequently texting and I leave my data turned off unless I use it. I'm also in an area where it constantly goes in and out of roaming so, this seems very good to me. I've also froze all Sprint Bloatware in Titanium Backup. Other than that everything is stock and haven't had a single problem.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
After a battery calibration and full charge, I only got about 8 hours and was down to 35% charge. Of course I spent most of the morning with 1 bar of signal or less, and I played with the phone alot so it wasn't really a fair test.

In a totally unscientific test it seems like the EG22 modem is more likely to roam than EC05 was. I thought my phone would roam more quickly than it would in the past.
[Epic 4G General] rompnit:
Battery life was better than ef02, and I didn't have any connectivity issues on the eg22 modem.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
I really don't buy this whole belief that SRF 1.2 is the godsend for battery life. case in point: any froyo rom, srf or otherwise, topped out at around 2 hours screen on time. Ee03 and ef02 would consistently land somewhere between 3 and 4 hours.

For that matter, no syndicate rom has given me the best battery life. Honestly, synergy did it for me on froyo.

I just don't see what you people see. Maybe I just don't buy into hype.

And FWIW, you really do need to give a ROM at least 2 days for it to settle in. Please don't compare what you're getting on eg22 to anything else right now. Run it without reflashing and get back to me on Wednesday please and thank you.
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
+1. If you guys know anything about flashing Roms, you should know that you can't judge battery life until you run the SAME ROM for at LEAST 2 days. If you do any judging sooner than that, its just your opinion. Which is not fact. So, calibrate your battery after running the ROM for a day, and cycling thru at least 1 full charge, then come back on day 2 after you calibrated your battery.

In case your wondering (from my Sig) I do have a Epic also, and I'm running the peaked EG22.
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
One thing that concerns me is that the wifi is scanning every 3 seconds, even when connected to a network. That's gotta be bad for battery life. I haven't noticed any other ROMs scanning that frequently.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
So far.. 13 hours with 8% left w/ 2h15min display, 4h10min wifi on and 3g for the rest of the hours. Moderate talk, text, poker and web browsing. OC/UV at 1.2 i'd say this is a winner but its still early to say.. will give a it couple more days before I switch to "MyFrankenBread" (in rumor thread)
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Running electronics out of specified voltage can cause serious stress on it.

To me, OC is worth it. UVing, is not.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
As stated, I get 2 days with SRF. Pretty easy to tell something is wrong when you look at the graph and the battery drain is exactly the same whether the screen is on or not. Its the same with stock Froyo, so i'm not saying gingerbread is broken or anything.

I lose at most 10% overnight. If I left my phone off the hook overnight with stock or GB, it would have almost no battery when I wake up.
[Epic 4G General] D`Nyed:
My battery life sucked... but is okay now.

I don't know what caused it but between the time I took my phone off the charger and the time I got to work tonight (about an hour) I went from 100% down to 39% and the phone was super hot. The 3G indicator showed I had constant data usage both upstream and downstream. Battery stats showed 77% usage by the Android System and nothing significant by any of the apps I have installed.

I rebooted the phone and recharged it and I haven't had the same problem since then. I've had rather good signal with this radio compared to previous radios.

Anybody have any idea what caused this?

[Epic 4G General] Forcystos:
Right now I'm 7 hours unplugged, 1 hour screen on, and the battery is at 10%. This is my normal battery pattern with bluetooth about 75% of the time, wi-fi about 30% of the time. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. SRF 1.2, no OC/UV. Otherwise I'll probably switch to EG22 because, as others have stated I have NEVER had more than 3 hours of screen on time with ANY rom running whatever settings using the stock 1500 mAh battery. I think it's pathetic to be honest.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
i gotta say, best battery life ive ever gotten on my epic.

I seem to be averaging about 17 hours with decent use. I plugged it in tonight with 7% left, and I was at about 16hrs, 48min. I'm ok with this since I plug my phone in every night anyway.
[Epic 4G General] nerdtaco:
Netflix took me from 89 to 14 in 45 minutes. I plugged it in for 45 more minutes and Netflix took my battery down to 10. I'm certain it's the rom, as 30 minutes of Apparatus took 30% out yesteday. Under battery use it shows Android System using about 85%.

[Epic 4G General] andygallo:
I think battery life has to do a LOT with the towers in your area.

In Austin, I can manage MAYBE 20 hours with light use. I never really drop calls and, for the most part, my internet speed is decent but it varies greatly. After I loaded EG22, my battery life went down the drain (like 6 hours unplugged), but I think it was because I was messing around with it so much.

BUT, whenever I'm in Houston I get some pretty amazing battery life. The longest I've seen was 40 hours with 33% left (on stock, rooted EC05, fairly light use). Right now, I'm sitting here in Houston with 18+ hours unplugged and 43% left, moderate use (deodexed, stock, rooted EG22).
[Epic 4G General] parasense:
It seems to me that battery discharge rate is different for everyone. Discharge is a factore of many things. It could be the battery is old and has issues. Li-ion deterirates some with each charge, so people that charge many cycles are not comparable to folks with a new battery. Li-ion doesn't have a memory so to say, they just deteriorate over time with each charge. So capacity is different for everybody.

That said the battery life can reasonbly be gauged on one phone if the battery is measured scientificly. Kinda elusive because there is no way to have a control groupe. Maybe if you have enough epic's that are new, and have several groups doing different roms, then you can taken an average.

Anyone else having serious bluetooth issues in car or otherwise? I cannot make calls out in my car (2010 GMC Terrain). It will make the call initially, but the sound is very choppy and I drop the BT connection every time.

Figured I would try here before returning the phone to see if its a known issue. Very frustrating considering my SGS1 worked 100% fine.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I use BT a lot and haven't had any trouble establishing and maintaining a connection. I've used it with two different Infiniti's and it's performed flawlessly - auto connects, transfers contacts, support calls waiting and hold, streams BT audio, displays artist and title via the car's display, pauses music for incoming calls, and tracks forward and back using the car's controls.

Does the Terrain have GM's funky BT via OnStar? I had a CTS with it and it drove me mad. I had three different phones and none of them worked exactly the way they should have.
[Galaxy S II General] mpsrent:
Ford Edge with Sync. The sound quality with my SGS2 is horrid! Mine is also choppy though I don't drop the connection. As soon as I turn bluetooth off the sound quality on the phone is great.

Guys, I've this same problem with my car (2009 Toyota Avensis + build-in Nokia CK-100 - official Bluetooth module) and my friend car (2010 Nissan Note + build-in BT Nissans radio). Choppy sound but I didn't see disconnects. I've branded rom for Polish T-mobile, shoud I change it to custom? or maybe any official service can re-install branded firmware?

Maybe Wifi + BT + GPS couldn't be turn onn at the same time? I didn't find any paths to resolve problem.

Ok, today I have gotten the case. It feels sturdy, fits on the sides perfectly. Despite of the site being registered in US, it arrived from "Jacky Chan" in Hong Kong (lold at that one) Took ~10 days per airmail.

The cut-outs for camera and flash + back speaker are fitting perfectly aswell, along with volume and microusb cut-out.

Only thing that was a bit weird at first was that the covering didn't fit perfectly "at once", but I guess after a while and stretching it'll fit. The cover holds though, while also giving access to power button.

I am in work atm, but I will post pictures once I get home. Stay tuned.

For ~24 USD it seems fairly usable and good-looking case, in my opinion.

[HTC Sensation] _archaniel:
I think it is possible, but I am not sure whether it then wouldn't be prone to further ripping. The hard plastic ends on the bottom from where the leather-only hinge starts and there you should be able to perform a cut, while having it still stylish.

Maybe if you would finish the cut part with some sort of superglue mixed with black ink, it would fix the ripping issue.

[General Questions and Answers] monkeychef:
This is a thread to help some people make a decision as to which tablet is better to purchase.

Staples has a coupon that will take $100 off of any of their tablets in store only. I have been to Staples (Out of stock, will not order online at the kiosk) Best Buy (Will not honor coupon), and the closest office depot is 30 miles away.

The coupon expires on the July 30, so I am hoping that staples is restocking their stores with more inventory.

My question is, which tablet should I/we purchase. I'm talking about a straight tablet, no docks or anything. Posts should be based on personal use and also about current developments in the respective forums (how much development is there for the device).

Thank you so much to anyone that posts a helpful comment.
[General Questions and Answers] evilmonkey1987:
I don't own an iconia, but I do own a transformer and I player a bit with an iconia, so I can provide some perspective. To me, the biggest difference between the two is the presence of a USB port on the iconia and its absence on the transformer. In order to use USB on the TF, you'd have to buy a dock. If I wasn't in the market for a dock, that would be an absolute deal breaker: there is no point buying a tablet with no USB port.

Aside from that, the TF has an IPS screen if that's important to you, but be careful as some IPS screens suffer from light bleed. It's a sharper and higher quality screen than the one on the iconia, but that will only be truly better if your screen doesn't bleed light.

Having said all that, perchance you are considering a dock, the TF is a better buy. With a dock, you essentially get two devices in one: a tablet and a netbook. The specs are identical, the apps you can run are identical. I think the TF has a slightly more active community on XDA, so if you want roms and custom apps, TF may again be a better choice. I think the TF is also cheaper: nowadays you can get a 16GB TF with a dock for the price of a 32GB iconia (in Canada, anyway).

Good luck with your choice.
[General Questions and Answers] monkeychef:
Hey thanks man. The screen is a pretty big deal to me (seeing as it is the direct link between the UI and the user) but I have heard of a lot of defects that include light bleed.

I think that the dock is an awesome feature, though I feel that the price is kind of steep. I mean its half the price of the tablet (at least with the coupon it is). I am also really big into seeing ROM development as I am a flashoholic with my Evo. From what I can see there are more original ROM's on the TF forum and more ports on the Iconia Forum.

Thanks for your input. Anyone else?
[General Questions and Answers] wynand32:
Well, the dock being "half the price of the tablet" isn't relevant, particularly considering the $100 discount. Certainly, the existence of the discount doesn't make the dock somehow less valuable.

And, it's a perfectly decent price in general, given that it's not just a dock, or a keyboard/trackpad combo, but it also includes a full-size battery. Consider that Lenovo's keyboard dock, which does NOT include a battery, is $99.99.

Really, speaking for myself, I can't imagine owning any other tablet. The keyboard dock, being fully integrated with the tablet, is an entirely different animal than any other tablet on the market.
[General Questions and Answers] monkeychef:
Good point.

How is the light bleed for you guys? Any other defects that you don't like?
[General Questions and Answers] kjy2010:
Imho, price for what you get, there's absolutely no question it's the Iconia. No need for a dock to have USB, SD, or HDMI, it's all there. Add the fact that I was just at Target the other day, and they had them for $399.99 + they gave you a $50.00 gift card, which you could use to purchase a case. A previous poster said that more ROMS are out for the tf, that's a joke I haven't heard before, as one of the tf fanboyz was over in our forum offering to pay the first dev that got the Galaxy rom ported over to the tf. We've had that ROM for weeks.

In the end it will come to personal preferences and money. Do you want to pay more for the tf so you can have connectivity, and lightbleed? If so, then that's the tablet to shoot for, with a 357 magnum! :eek:

Just my. 02c
