I was running viperRom for a few weeks, but decided to give Virus a shot and absolutely love it. I'll probably jump back to Viper whenever the new release drops to see what kind of changes were made.

I'm on vipermod right now but am interested in synergy but I'm a little intimidated..I didn't understand half of the tweaks that were in the op and i don't know how to flash nightlys ..I don't have a desktop so I'm not sure if you need one to.flash the updates ..only way i know is to download right to my phone, put on root of SD and flash ..anyone with synergy how do you flash nightlys and can you do it right from your phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian y.:
rooted stock.

I have been wanting to flash but the damn phone is just running too good in all aspects and I have it right where I want it. Some days I secretly hope I could find an issue/bug that would give me a valid reason.....:p

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GizmoFreak:
Can anyone guide me properly on how to get back to the original ROM ? I have the ftf file for my country.. or will it be better to do it using the update service or PC companion ?

I actually want to go back to the original thing.. custom roms and all are just going over my head lol

Please guide me... What I did was I flashed my phone to 2.3.3 then I rooted my phone and then I installed WolfBreaks rom.. the battery is not working good.. so I am thinking to go back to the original gingerbread rom.. do I need to flash it using the flashtool ? Just guide me properly if possible, like how to flash using flashtool stepwise thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
Just flash your gingerbread ftf with flashtool.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRuan:
Just flash it as repair using seus or pc companion that will put you in the original GB version for your location.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GizmoFreak:
Is their any thread showing how to do it? I am not much experienced with flashing :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GizmoFreak:
In simple words you mean I should repair my phone using SEUS or PCC right ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
Yes, there is a thread somewhere with a detailed guide on how to use flashtool. Just search for "flashtool guide".

You can also use Pcc or SEUS if you want, and that's fine, but I suggest you learn how to use flashtool just in case something nasty happens in the future. Flashtool isn't really that complicated.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GizmoFreak:
do I need to select all the firmware contents while selecting the firmware ? like loader.sin, kernel.sin and so on..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
No, once you have selected the firmware, click ok and follow the instructions. :)

Ok thanks a lot :)
[Galaxy S II General] Kjeldmis:
I am getting about 3 - 4 days of average usage out of a 100 % charge, running MIUI 1.8.19. I will continue to update this thread with confirmed findings of MIUI users posted here. Other than that, happy flashing! :)

People experiencing battery drain issues please post the following:

Your running kernel (bmarko@magellan if you didn't flash anything on top)

CPU spy screenshot of a drain (from 100 % to like 20%, you can get CPU spy from market)

Screenshot of stats from the battery monitor in settings

Did you perform a battery recalibration after flash? (Charging the phone to 100 % in off mode, then boot)

My recommendations on increasing battery life:

Keep data on off whenever you don't use it. WiFi does not seem to have battery drain issues, use that instead if you are at home.

Disable albumart and lyrics download in music player, when you dont use it.

The media server can go crazy on battery drain - Even if you don't listen that much to music.

Use another launcher than the standard one. Sometimes in rare occations (happened for me twice though) the launcher keeps the phone out of deep sleep. I have had good results with Go Launcher.
[Galaxy S II General] Shiwantha:
Easy Alternative,

Download Battery Calibration from the market (Free) and install

Do a continuous charge the phone from AC charger recommended instead PC USB to 100% while its on

Follow instruction of the application and rate it well before uninstalling (the app creator made our life easy for free)

Battery Calibration

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] mcyorian:
is there any method to avoid the battery drain with data on?

[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Got a new Steak 7 3 weeks ago. Happy with device overall except VERY short battery life. I know this is mostly because of "ping feature" and have to wait until Honeycomb release, however is there any solid tips on improving before it's release? I did extensive search but was not able to find Streak 7 specific advise... Thank you in advance.

>>>>

LAST UPDATE:

After rooting and renaming phone and telephony apk(s) I'm seeing improvement in battery life about 15% drop in 3 hours comparing to 30% what I had previously. This is what I need for now.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
Read this thread, it will not increase your battery 400%, but it will let you go through the day, so you can charge it at night. This is assuming you have the wifi only model.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123249
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
I suggest you turn off wifi when you're not using the device, that'll GREATLY increase battery life. Also watch partial wake locks and apps using CPU, particularly some widgets will keep the device awake all the time or too much time.

That's all complete nonsense. Don't do this, it's a waste of time.
[Dell Streak 7] Watcher64:
Actually it is not "complete nonsense", although would argue the 400% thing, Dell has confirmed that part of the battery problem is the "ping" back to Dell, and part of it is caused by the phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk ..
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
I'm using the 4G model, and I have found that it lasts considerably longer on 4G than on WiFi. It might stretch to 4.5 hours or so on 4G.

If you really need more time, I would suggest an external charger. Not cheap, but it would do the job.

[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
And probably only actually does anything if it's connected to a network. I've had my DS7 for a month and I've experimented with the APKs being there/not being there back and forth, if it makes a difference at all it's very, very small.

My DS7 easily lasts the day with a lot of use, and two days if I'm too busy to mess with it much. I don't watch videos or play games on it typically, however.
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Your DS 7 lasts for a day?! WOW!!! Can you please share the trick how? I'm using my tablet for occasional web browsing, checking emails, twitter account. No video or games at all. I have only 2 active widgets I think. But it lasts 4-5 hours at best...

Thank you very much for your time.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
It doesn't hurt to try removing the phone and telephony apk for yourself, just rename it or move it to a backup folder. Just use gingerbread to root your ds7, then a file manager program like File Expert that allows superuser to rename or move the two apk.

You need to try it for yourself, don't take anyone's word. It will make you feel better about your ds7. Like you, I was disappointed with the battery life, until I found this trick. I'm not saying Khaytsus is wrong, I don't believe in the perfect world where every machine function the same. Khaytsus has his/her experience, I have mine, and so does every other ds7 owner. What is yours?

By the way, have you set your power management to aggressive mode? :)
[Dell Streak 7] Watcher64:
I have the 4G version , but do not use it with a sim card, (although I have one in it just so it does not complain), have it set to Airplane mode with WiFi on , and mine lasts me all day and then some, but also , I don't watch movies on it, unless it is in the dock or plugged in. I easily get all day use of web browsing and the like out of it ... but I am running dj_steve's Honeystreak R2
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Thank you. Probably running dj_steve's Honeystreak R2 helps a lot.
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Apreciate advise. I was looking into rooting my DS7 but it's a shame I could not find an option to set USB in debug mode :-( and I believe it would not work otherwise... In regards powermanagement, I use so-called Juice Defender. Should I disable it and use original one then?

PS

Sorry for so many questions, I'm Iphone person and this is my first Android device :-)
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I misspelled the app name, its gingerbreak. To find usb debug go to setting, application, development. After I removed phone & telephony apk, I uninstalled Juice Def. It did not help anymore.

Setting your power management to aggressive mode will disable data when your screen is off.
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Thanks, last question I hope... If I root DS7, will I be still able to update it OTA when new kernel is available from Dell or I will need to roll changes back somehow?
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
When you root a phone, or in this case the ds7, you are gaining "administrative" rights, to borrow Windows terminology. It does not change your phone or the os, it gives you the ability to do things that were forbidden, in this case you want to move the phone and telephony apk. You can always un-root it and update when the HC update come out.
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
thank you. Appreciate all help
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Folks, just wanted to thanks and update everyone involved into the discussion. I root DS7 last night and then renamed phone and telephony apk(s). I'm seeing improvement in battery life about 15% drop in 3 hours comparing to 30% what I had previously. It is good enough for me now and definetely worth to try.

Thanks again guys!
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I'm happy for you and welcome to the family. :D
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Really? I'm not doing ANYTHING special and I have a ton of apps installed. And as mentioned I've tried with Phone APKs, without Phone APK's, right now I have Airplane mode on... All the same discharge patterns. Only problem I've ever had is I put a World Time widget in and it apparently was waking the tablet up every minute to update or something, as the tablet's wake percentage was 85% or so. Normally it's around 20-30% at most. Although if I don't reboot after a charge, it's hard to tell since it's awake 100% when charging.

Apps I have installed.. http://www.appbrain.com/user/khaytsus/apps-on-the-dell-streak-7

Here's a few days ago when I was doing some Tasker programming at the end of the day..

And here's the last four days... For some reason it's not super obvious, but generally I unplug around 9am and plug back in around 10 or 11 at night.. Graph makes it look like 2-3 am or something. Compare where the day marker is vs the one day graph above.. Kinda off. :) But the graphs are right.
[Dell Streak 7] S4F4M:
Charged mine overnight.

@8a used it for 60 minutes or so and the battery discharged to 75%.

Put it in sleep (WiFi off), and at 8PM, the battery was dead.

Is there an app that will tell me what process/app is sucking the battery?

I noticed that it flashed on and off every 30-sec to 1-min a few days ago. I wonder if there isn't an app checking for time sync/weather/etc.

Will live wallpapers drain when in sleep?

Thanks for any quick suggestions. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot extensively.
[Dell Streak 7] m16-maniac:
ok i am thinking about buying a used DS7 (mostly because of the good hardware it has in it less the screen)

i currently have a droid-x that i use for my cellphone but not with a cell tower.

i use it with wifi ALWAYS ON....it NEVER EVER DISCONNECTS.

skype is always connected.

i get 37hrs from 100% until about 5%

that is with little use (maybe one hour) basically its a test of how much the wifi radio ALONE sucks the battery when it is the only radio on and always connected.

is there anyway i can get someone else to do this test?

imagine it as your main phone and you want to be able to answer a call at anytime of day or night.

it has to be connected 100% of the time to wifi for skype to be able to do this.

so please....someone test this and let me know.
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Well, I believe you cant use front camera with Skype on DS7 with original ROM. May be I'm mistaken though....
[Dell Streak 7] S4F4M:
I am running both Launcher Pro and GO Launcher EX. In addition, I had widgets for folders, time, wifi usage, and weather. Removed all widgets/shortcuts, disabled background update, disabled WiFi, and the DS7 would still do a wake-sleep every 30 seconds for both home launchers.

I then turned on AIRPLANE MODE and the 30 second wake-sleep disappeared. Reapplied my widgets and added a toggle for airplane mode. Now all seems to be fine.

Not sure what is causing the wake-up. My DS7 is rooted and the phone/telephony apks are renamed.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I have not seen this problem. You might want to do a factory data reset to see if it resolves your problem.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Disable ALL data apps then repeat your test. You'll find it wasn't the wifi radio 'ALONE' that uses a lot of power, rather apps will update and do stuff while networking is available that otherwise would suspend any activities without an active network connection.

And yes while your scenario is perfectly valid for someone needing instant notifications or such, it is still pretty decent battery life considering. Turning off wifi when the screen is off would more than double it I suspect.

I typically saw 3-5%/hr when the wifi is left on all of the time with my configuration, about 1%/hr with it off. How much is used with the wifi on is dependent upon widgets, apps syncing, etc.

[HTC EVO 3D] Clay333:
I got one. I hadn't heard about all of those devs getting them tho.....that's awesome. I hope we can get some real mods happening on webOS now. I'm hoping viperboy is still going to get a Transformer tho, then he will be deving on all 3 of my devices.

I'm also hoping google is looking into buying webOS. Could you imagine how sick it would be to have cards and widgets on the same homescreens? Also to have the functionality of Android with the sleekness and eye candy of webOS.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
That would be awesome but I'm sure if google buys them they wouldn't support webos just integrate it to android and I'm sure the android devs who bought it so they can dev for it once android gets ported to it :) i doubt they will dev for webos. Anyways you can follow people on twitter if you have one thats were i got all my info!

Yeah it was a madhouse this weekend... saturday night when HP listed it for $99 we were all rushing to buy... towards the end, stuff started going out of stock while in our shopping cart :p

Then 1 store after another started going up and within minutes out of stock.

Sunday morning Best Buy changed their prices... immediately out of stock online... call the stores, guy says there are none in California... 30mins later there is a recording that they are out of HP Touchpads. Monday morning new vendors for Amazon.com listed them for $99 and $149 and friends picked up a few, out of stock within 15mins. Tigerdirect followed. Now all those people that bought like 50 of them at once put them all up on eBay for $230 ea. LOL

I heard the rumor it was some 350,000 touchpads sold that day.
[HTC EVO 3D] Clay333:
Y

Yeah, I that's pretty much what I was saying, i know they aren't going to put out a OS to compete with their own. I am hoping that they will buy it and integrate it with android. I'm thinking with the cards on bottom half of the screen and widgets and shortcuts on the top half. Or maybe a shortcut on the launcher that takes you to different homescreens with cards. There are many different types ways they could do it. I definitely wouldn't want 2 separate OS's, it wouldn't be any different than it is now. I'm thinking one os with the functionality of android and the eye candy/ multitasking UI of webOS.

That doesn't make sense buying them for resale to make money off them. The reason they are selling is because they are cheap, not because somebody will actually pay more money for them.
