sorry if this is a dumb question...but how are you guys calibrating your batteries? and does this improve the battery life? or just improve the stat reporting of the battery level?

Also...GPS is a mega battery killer. I went to play a round of golf today, left my place at 1pm with my battery at 100%, and have the "FreeCaddie" application that uses GPS to tell me yardage for each hole. Started the round at 2:10, and I had the app running through the entire round (but not active, the screen was off most of the time except when I would pull the phone out of my pocket to check how far I was from the hole; however, it will keep the GPS signal going unless you manually exit the app). I also used the camera to take some burstshot pics during the round, took maybe 4 or 5 sets of burstshot pics? Finished the round around 6:30ish, battery level was at 16%. Went to dinner at about 7:15, reviewed the burstshot pics of our swings with my friends, then put the phone back in my pocket (I think the battery level was around 13% at that time). Didn't do anything else with my phone, pulled it out of my pocket at around 8:45 and the phone had shut itself off due to "Empty Battery".

So, after probably about 7.5 hrs, my battery went from 100% to completely empty...I know it was mainly cuz I used a lot of GPS, but I'm still not too happy about this, am really hoping for CM7 soon..

Try my v0.6 Beta. Added several battery tweaks and performance mods.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
This is with a 1900 mha Anker and stock root (before I flashed any roms), only basic bloatware was removed

Thanks to 2X Battery on the market.

As you can see I was at 19% before I decided to plug it in, but I could have had a few more hours of light use
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mat_oli:
I think there must be something wrong with my battery, or there's something I have running that is eating up the battery...I recharged my battery at work today before I left the office, so it was at 100% before getting on the subway to go home.

Left the office at about 5:20.

On the entire 35 minute subway ride, I was playing Homerun battle with the display on at the brightest, and volume at about 30% (so it wouldn't be so loud as to annoy the other passengers around me). As I was walking home I sent a couple of facebook messenger messages, that took maybe 3-5 mins. Got home, played some more homerun battle (I'm hooked on that game), and then started up XBMC on my PC and XBMC remote on the MT4GS. I have my phone's display set to never time out, so that the XBMC remote app will always stay on, and I don't have to unlock my phone in order to use the remote while I'm watching something. Made dinner (while XBMC was still going), ate dinner while watching TV episodes on XBMC (and occassionally using XBMC remote on my phone, altho the display was active the whole time), finished eating around 8:30 or so. At this point, my battery was at 48%...that's just over 3 hours! Given, I was using the phone pretty heavily, but from what other people have reported on this forum, it seems I'm getting especially bad battery life, especially considering I have the Anker Battery!!!

I'm probably gonna flash one of undead's ROMs soon, the only thing holding me back is having to set up all the apps and homescreens again. I do have Titanium Backup Pro, and have backed up all my apps, but I've just never restored off a clean install so I don't feel comfortable wiping my phone to install a ROM yet...but this battery life thing is killing me! I thought the Anker battery would solve a lot of my problems...

one thing to note...I do have the HTC "slide show" wallpaper active, I dunno if that is killing my battery or not, since it seems to rotate wallpapers a lot more often than my old HTC Desire Z..

Battery issues

I suggest you all do a bit of research on batteries and how they are rated, there are many links in the forums that will dispel the myth of higher ratings in the same size package. Same goes for the task killer something that this version of Android does not need (perhaps think memory management). I have a MT4G and my wife a MT4G slide spending time on forums for our phones and others has provided a wealth of information on making your battery last longer. DE bloating apps you don’t need, perhaps a custom ROM (I use VU239) and some Google searching will make everyone content with their phone battery life we are with little sacrifice.

Remember these phones are capable of many things but they must be fed.

[HTC Sensation] thebigham:
Anyone found a good matte finished screen protector for sensation yet?? I have a very sweaty hand. So it is very difficult for me to use the phone sometimes. I used a Matte screen protector from Clarivue for my Motorola Droid, and I love it. But sadly, they said due to the curve design of the screen, there wont be one available for the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Angelmsx:
I am on the same boat. I caved and bought the clarivue crystal clear last week after finding out they didn't have the matte. I had a matte one from them on my N1 and it was perfect. But when the crystal clear came, I was disappointed that it did not fit the entire screen. It was cut just to fit the screen excluding the contoured edges.

I am losing hope for a good matte SP for this phone :(
[HTC Sensation] thebigham:
Oh thanks for the heads up on the clarivue crystal clear screen. I was just about to order that. Well I guess i'm going to try the screen protector from this thread instead. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1164740

[HTC Sensation] Sketchy McSketch:
Really? I bought the same one from this seller a few weeks back and it didn't conform to the screen's contoured edges. I eventually got a refund from him after telling him of this problem. I've since decided that I'm alright with going without a screen protector since I'm both careful with my phone and trusting in the durability of gorilla glass.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
You maybe turned it upside down?

I had that when I first tried putting one on the sensation... it was very frustrating and than I saw it was upside down lol.
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
here you go!

the one on the left is the one with clear screen protector and on the right matte anti glare SP.

both phones screen are made by different manufacturer, the right one is better

the matte one doesnt really stick completely on the side,but just tiny bit. but it doesnt the job and with a silicone cover on you cant see it.
[HTC Sensation] Sketchy McSketch:
Nope, it was just completely flat.
[HTC Sensation] bskim23:
I bought the same ones as well. Can't say they're good, but they'll do... and you can't really go wrong for the price. Just wish the edges would sit flat, but seeing as our screen edges are curved, I think only the screen protectors like invisishield will sit flush on it.

[LG Revolution] solidage:
So I'm thinking of switching to Verizon mainly for their 4G (and AT&T is terrible in my area lately)

I remember reading about the LG Revolution having horrific battery life. Coming from an iPhone, what does battery usage of the LG Revolution look like? Have they improved it via firmware since launch? Are there ROMs out there that give better battery performance?

Also, I have seen complains that it isn't that fast of a device (because it isn't dual core) but it seemed much faster than the thunderbolt for opening apps, and browsing the internet when I used it in store.
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
There is only one custom rom currently. Battery life is decent I had an iPhone 4 and battery life is pretty much the same. There are some tips. Thing about it is CDMA is a little worse in battery anyways so no matter the phone its going to be that way. The service though is night and day I love Verizon compared to AT&T.

Hi,

Could someone please provide a link and instructions on how to manually update a US Transformer to version 3.2?

I have a problem receiving OTA updates (maybe because its a US version but I'm currently physically located in Israel) so all my previous updates had to be done manually.

Thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
I had trouble applying the OTA manually. It was a pain.

If you are stock and NOT rooted, it's not too bad.

Download the US version of the update. There's a thread in the dev section I think.

Rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and save it to the root directory of the external micro SD.

Put the sdcard in the slot and reboot into recovery. You should see an android guy with a gear belly for 5-10 mins. Wait and be patient until you see your homescreen again.

To get into recovery, turn off the TF. Hold the volume down button and press the power button. As soon as the screen come on, you see some text at the top. Press volume up to boot recovery. If you wait too long, it will wipe your data, so back up anything important.

If you are rooted and/or you have a custom recovery, this probably won't work.

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dimako83:
Well actaully I have already used the method you are talking about to update to the latest 3.1 (8.4.4.11). The problem is the update file which I'm missing.

I saw the next thread with the 3.2 file: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190868

The problem is I have read in the thread that its an 8.4.4.5 to 3.2 update and nobody mentioned in the thread that he has successfully installed from this file.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
The md5 hash for the 8.4.4.11 to 8.6.5.6 US update is 9dc8df6593c05381342558734e5bb97c

I flashed it with a completely stock system using the method I posted earlier.

I'm not sure about the other OTA updates floating around, but look for one with the same hash.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chadster214:
I can't manual update using the method you mentioned about.. I'm getting an "!" android.. any suggestion?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
I thought you rooted with brk's batch script? Did you revert to stock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chadster214:
I reverted back to stock. using the ASUS 8.4.4.11 from their site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
Not sure why that wouldn't work, although the OTA script checks hashes pretty strictly. If anything is off, it won't apply. I think there is a thread floating around that talks about how to modify the OTA to be less strict.

I had trouble manually updating with the OTA- I had to go back to stock 8239 and apply all the updates sequentially. Of course, there are easier ways, but I was curious.

To get rooted 8656, you could use Roach's script.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chadster214:
what is the method you use to unroot and restore back to stock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ondoy1943:
Hey guys here's a slight variation to gee one's method to update a stock unrooted 8.4.4.11 to 8.6.5.6 using the update file:

1. Move or copy the zip file to inside the \ASUS\update\ directory on a microsd card.

2. Rename the moved or copied zip file to "EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP".

3. Power off the TF101.

4. With the microsd card inside the slot, hold-down the power and volume-down buttons simultaneously until two lines of code appear on the TF101. Release the power and volume-down buttons then push the volume-up button immediately.

5. The TF101 should now be flashing the update firmware, afterwhich, reboot the TF101 for good measure.

The difference is in the location of the ep101_sdupdate.zip file, nothing more.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
I think it is /ASUS/Update/ - this is one of the methods that I didn't try.

I think that recovery also looks for something called ASUS_Bundle.zip, but I haven't seen much about that at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ondoy1943:
So a letter's case, which is a non-issue in windows, is relevant in android? Good info.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chadster214:
this one is a no go also...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
You might have to put it there and boot the system. Supposedly, the TF will find it and post a notification by the clock. I'm not sure how long it will take to "find" it.

I think it's the external card, but it wouldn't hurt to try the internal one as well.

Edit: Found it- seems like it's the external card and you insert it while the TF is on.

1.	Check the Build number by tapping Apps > Settings > About tablet.

2.	On the other desktop PC or laptop PC, visit the ASUS Support Site at http:// support.asus.com and go to the TF101 download page by entering TF101 in the Search By field.

3.	Download the firmware file that corresponds to the Build number you see at step 1.

4.	Prepare a MicroSD card. Unzip the ASUS folder in the compressed firmware file to the root directory of the MicroSD card.

5.	With your Eee Pad turned ON, insert the MicroSD card into the MicroSD card slot.

6.	An exclamation mark appears in the notification area. Tap the mark.

7.	A System Update File Detected message appears. Tap the exclamation mark to start firmware update

from http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download - manual/Updated Version of SOP(English)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chadster214:
still a no go... :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
I think that SOP method only works with the packaged updates from the website, not the OTA.

To get back to stock 8239, I used nvflash to wipe, reformat, and load the 8239 firmware. It wipes everything, but you can back up your data with CWM and re-flash it afterwards. The sdcard will get wiped too, you'll have to back that up too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chadster214:
I can't seem to find the 8239 firmware that works with nvflash.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
The 8411 update from the website is a blob that should overwrite everything, unlike the OTA which just patches.

I think the 8656 OTA is pretty picky about flashing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
There is a 8239 download on the website- if you unzip it, there is a blob file. If you unblob it, you'll get the parts that you can flash with nvflash.

If you are going to flash, you might as well try the 84411 file first. It seems like it will work and it will save you a few hours of flashing.

How comfortable do you feel with nvflash?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chadster214:
unblob?? what app do I need to unblob?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
https://github.com/AndroidRoot/BlobTools

You'll have to build them with the make command.

What system are you using? Windows? This works in linux, but I don't know about Windows, but only because I never tried. Although I wouldn't bet money on it working.

In theory, you download the file and cd into the directory and type "make" The blob tools will will magically appear.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
Well, I had some horrible bootloops while trying something tonight, so I'm flashing the blobs. I'll let you know how it goes and if the update works.

Edit: It doesn't seem to work using nvflash to get to stock 84411 that will take the OTA.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ondoy1943:
After running the blob unpacking routine in windows, the following files magically appeared: blob.app, blob.ebt, blob.header, blob.lnx, blob.pt, & blob.sos. So, i only need to rename blob.app to system.img, blob.lnx to boot.img, and blob.sos to recovery.img? Is that it? What about the other files?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
Make sure your flash.cfg file has the right filename=/paths for those partitions. I think most people just put them in the same folder as nvflash. And, that EBT, SOS, LNX, and APP all have filenames in the partiontion def- this is how they get flashed. Header and pt aren't needed for this.

I would also recommend changing the bootloader to -bl blob.ebt This will be same bootloader that you are flashing. I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think it prevents bootloops.

./nvflash --bct transformer.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --create --bl blob.ebt --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98 --go

This will completely wipe your data, so back up! You can restore the data partition with CWM afterwards. I haven't been able to restore /data with nvflash yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dimako83:
