My point is I was heavily using it, for 3 hours straight at 50% charge, surfing web and chatting on msn.

Also discovered that there is a flaw in the charging process, not sure if it's related to mango or the phone battery / hardware.

I noticed that after every full charge, I need to soft reset each time for the battery not to drain.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
Anyway I tested the phone in different areas within a 5 km radius
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
which is why whenever u get a new phone , its always best to get a new sim card.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VonCrisp:
Hmm now I wonder if my SIM card has issues. I always believed that there is something wrong with the 2g to 3g switching.

At first I believed that it is just bad code by MS.

I tested it by traveling through half of the country and the battery died in just half a day.

I have also noticed that the Samsung Network app recognized one of my SIMs as a contract when it should be a pay as you go card. (it was originally a contract card)

Might head down to vodafone to get myself a new one.

I have my hd7 with an extra battery pack which is spposely make the phone last x2 more than normal and it only makes it through 8 hours a day most time and if am lucky it makes it to 10 hours.. Anyone knows why
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
Change yr sim card......
[Windows Phone 7 General] vash_h:
interesting.. i wonder how long your battery will last.

im not sure about the HD7, but my optimus 7 comes with Li-ion batteries. the way you use ur phone is killing it.

dont get me wrong, its alright to use it that way, but the thing about li-ion batteries, once you drain it, you can never get it back to 100% charge.

Li-Ion requires frequent charging, even if its only half. NEVER NEVER let it go to dangerous levels, you may not be able to recover back to 100% charge.

search the net and search for the characteristics of li-ion batteries.

there is a popular believe among malaysians & singaporean gadget users, (not sure about people elsewhere), that it is better to drain the battery before charging (some earlier siemens phones have the option to 'drain' battery before charging). That is meant for NiMH batteries to get rid of the 'memory effect'.

Li-ion batteries does not have the memory effect.

charge your phone more frequently, especially with your usage. you will gain more from the battery..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
u can drain the battery to empty but u must immediately recharge it...

an empty L-ION damages when its kept in fully discharged state at long periods of time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
i can see this few causes.

1) battery not calibrated, damaged or worn out. Have a check in the service centre,

2) old/unoptimised/ worn out / faulty sim card or APn settings ( this is the biggest culprit in smartphones). U have to change yr sim card every 2 years . this will ensure u have the newest network technologies go hand in hand with OS updates or firmware updates for yr phone . APN settings is another reason, setting the wrong apn settings could lead to battery drain.. another thing is do not use sim card meant for another phone ( example iphone 3G) and use it on wp7 phone ..

They may be configured differently work with the OS and not necessarily optimised for another phone's OS and although it may work, I have experienced his myself when i used th my older iphone 3g sim card in my wp7 phone. Result was battery drain. So always use a newer sim card when u are changing phones,

3) features like location, wifi ect., xbox live, auto upload to facebook accounts, push email...turn them off when not needed
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
think 2 factors increased yr battery life

connection setup - It has been updated 2 times in the marketplace, so i believe there will be some optimisations . i believe it does something more than the wp7 cellular options

push email "as items arrive" . its microsoft's newest push technology called direct push which supposedly saves battery life.. "as items arrive" is direct push technology
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Mango has background tasks, push notifications and live tiles that aren't as volatile, etc.

There's a lot more going on in the background, and a lot more 3G usage going on in the background as well.

Really, it was just foolish for HTC to put a phone out with such a small battery. They had issues with the HD2's small battery (basically same phone) as well as the Evo4G and several of their other phones. They needed to put at least a 1500 mAh battery in this thing.

You can't really expect good battery life out of this phone, especially come Mango.

8 hours is pretty bad, adn that's about the most I can get in NoDo with light usage. I thought my Vibrant's battery was bad. It runs circles around this (though it's gotten more updates, so perhaps more issues were fixed).

Also, WP7 doesn't have an easily accessible GPS toggle so a lot of people (esp those on NoDo) are using phones wiht GPS enabled practically all the time. Might wanna turn that off. It will add about an hour or more to your battery life.

In either case I cannot get through a full day of below moderate to moderate use on this phone. The battery is just too small.

My mom got hte 4.3" new HTC Android on AT&T one of the 4G HSPA+ phones I forget hte name (it's similar to the Samsung so I get them confused) and she doesn't have an issue getting through a day. The battery is much bigger, though... So I blame the battery :P

Excuse the rambling.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Just to add to this.

I've spent the entire day without a simcard in my phone but doing what I normally do, connected to wifi, using Facebook, Twitter, Occasional web browsing. About 4 hours worth of Music playing.

Settings > Battery Saver shows :

Remaining Battery Life: 85%

Estimated Time Remaining: 12 hours

Time since last charge: 12 hours.

I'd usually get about 6-8 hours before having to charge (12ish hours before I sold my Zune HD and used it as a music player).

I didn't know celluar connections took THAT much battery, maybe theres a 3G leak or something in Mango causing the battery to drain? It's worth noting that I bought my Omnia 7 simfree and the sim card came from my HTC Desire.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
we have to wait for the official mango to address this..
[Windows Phone 7 General] DaDragonChild:
Uncheck the mobile data use for updates and feedback. That should significantly increase your battery life. The battery drain after full charge you're referring to I'm assuming is a graphical glitch. It might reset after re-plugging in your phone. Other than that- I've never experienced that problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Keep in mind we're talking about an HD7. It has a 1230 mAh Battery. 8 hours with moderate to semi-heavy usage is expected. It has about the same uptime as the HD2, from my experiences owning both devices. It just has bad battery life. The only way you're going to significantly improve it is to get a different phone with a bigger battery, IMO.

NoDo barely updates anything in the background. I have Feedback turned off. Once Mango hits I expect to lose 1-2 hours battery life off the bat on this device.

[General Questions and Answers] andrewsykes1170:
Ive had a simple idea of how to make a charger that can be left plugged in but once the phone is removed the charger disconnects from the mains until the phone is reconnected.

i would like the idea to be open to all manufactures to use for free as i think it would help the environment anybody got any ideas how to proceed maybe offer it to google?
[General Questions and Answers] mspotts:
Not sure what you mean by disconnects from the mains. Are you saying that it will not use any power?
[General Questions and Answers] dark8899:
I do not understand your idea, you can explain better?
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
If you leave a charger plugged into the mains with no phone connected, it still uses electricity which is a waste.

The OP's idea would be to have the charger break the mains circuit when a phone is not connected.

Sensible idea.

Off the top of my head, with an old transformer model, you'd have a mosfet to close the mains circuit when the 5v circuit is closed. To start it off you'd have a push to make switch in parellel to the mosfet.

So you connect the phone, push the start button, the mains circuit is completed energising the 5v circuit which activates the mosfet keeping the mains side closed.

When you disconnect the phone the 5v circuit is broken, the mosfet opens the mains side and power is totally cut.

Not opened a recent charger though but given their size I don't think they work like an old chunky transformer type.
[General Questions and Answers] oka1:
This is done on several larger devices, all you are doing is creating a loop that recognizes load or no load, when no load is on, the shunt (elec gate) is in the open position, when it has load it creates a closed position allowing power to pass through. My guess is the cost verses benefit is not there to implement yet on such small elec demand devices. FYI even a plugged in extension cord will draw a micro amount of power, so the Zero use when not plugged in would not happen, but near zero is doable.

Good thinking on this........
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
I just switch the socket off :)
[General Questions and Answers] hungry81:
lol probrobly the simplest, easiest and best solution
[General Questions and Answers] andrewsykes1170:
My idea would be to have a small magnet on the back of the device to pull a relay in this would be isolated from the mains but act directly on the power circuit without additional power.

or make a flexible ferrite core not dissimilar to those rubber magnets to a cable and add it to a usb cable and do much the same thing.
[Epic 4G General] laramiebates:
I used to switch roms constantly and always be messing with my epic. About 6 months ago I got to busy and havent been able to make any changes since.

The rom im running was a beta of something or another and is rather unstable at times etc.

Im leaving for vacation tomorrow and need to know the fastest and easiest way to get back to stock / a stable non touch wiz rom.

Im sure my clockwork etc are all way outdated to.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] T-980:
I'd say either just odin back to stock for now (if you just want stable) or flash SRF 1.2. I know where you're coming from when it comes to going on vacation, so I suggest either of those two would work just fine.

[Droid X General] ithorien:
As soon as .602 became available I jumped on the ship and SBFd to 340 and installed the 2 parter 602. Had to wipe a couple of times because of boot loop (deodexed and had custom icon/boot animation/crt off), but finally succeeded and got my DX to .602. Shortly after found out my nandroids wouldn't restore data, so had to wipe a few more times SBF, etc.

After all that, restored my Titanium Backups and everything seemed fine. But now I've noticed I can't get the web market to push anything to my phone. I tried clearing cache/data in app management for both market/talk, to no avail. On the web side it says my latest activity was on the 19th (the day before I did all this SBFing).

Anyone having these issues? Logged into the right gmail account on talk/market/web, and nothing seems to work :/

Maybe it was just me but I thought the Infuse had an amazing screen. QHD would make it look a heck of a lot better I would imagine.

HTC EVO Software Update - 4.53.651.1

Enhancements/Fixes:

- Integrated voice recognition accuracy with voice search and voice-to-text

- Image size issue with contact transfer over bluetooth

- Images cut off in Picasa

- Group contacts not in alphabetical order

- Out of memory, Unable to send SMS

Just wondering if anyone received the OTA and has it laying around and could post it, so the ROMs can be updated with these fixes (especially the first one!).

Also, does anyone know the method for applying an OTA to a previous stock ROM (not on the device), so that the patched files get appropriately updated? I've been wondering how that's done for a while. It's usually a while before the full ROM leaks, so I've always wondered how it's done. I bet xHausx would know . . . I wonder if you need Linux to do it?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Thanks for checking. It shouldn't S-ON your device, as I've read by the few that got it that it comes with the same HBOOT as the previous OTA (2.16). It might, however, take away root, though if it does, you'd just need to install Superuser.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
You need to be S-OFF and have an old stock recovery. The new one will not let you update if not installing from over the air. Download the recovery that I attached to this post and change the name to PC36IMG. This recovery will only be used for the flash, and will then be replaced by the latest stock one.

Without being over detailed here,

Download the OTA from

http://www.mediafire.com/?bjxvuyc1mupcyzc

Then change the name of that file to update.

Copy both zip files (PC36IMG and update) to your SD card and install the PC36IMG file from your Bootloader.

After install, boot into RECOVERY. At the exclamation point, hold the volume up (not down) and power buttons at the same time. Then install update from SD card, or whatever it says.

Once you're done, you can always go to

http://www.mediafire.com/?gijd69zb5222w

to get your clockworkmod or Amon-RA back.

Hope that helps someone out there.

Does this update fix/update the bluetooth stack?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopers1222:
I have some questions that I'm hoping to get verified.

I was previously on the Sprint unrooted stock 2.2 Froyo build and did the OTA 4.24.651.1 Android 2.3 update. Then I performed S-OFF using the Revolution developer preview tool followed by rooting the phone by installing SuperUser via Recovery. The only thing I've done since then is remove apps I didn't want.

Now this 4.53.651.1 OTA update came out, and I know I shouldn't try updating the rooted phone with it. I don't want to completely flash/wipe the phone either. I just want to learn of the way to update my rooted 4.24.651.1 to 4.53.651.1 while still retaining S-OFF and root.

Do the steps by shortydoggg in post #9 of this thread perform an update as opposed to a complete flash/wipe? And if so, will S-OFF and root be maintained?

Thanks in advance! :)

=====

Update:

Okay, so I restored the stock recovery according to post #9 of this thread. And continuing with the instructions in that post, I was able to install the linked 4.53.651.1 update file.

After that I lost root, but all it took was to run the Revolutionary tool again to get custom recovery back. Then I just flashed the Superuser ZIP file once more, rebooted, and everything was rooted again.

Now the phone still has S-OFF and it has 4.53.651.1 rooted.

Thumbs up!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wipeout:
Easier approach:

Download the already rooted copy here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238959

Reboot into recovery.

Make a nandroid backup.

Flash update. (In CWM Install zip from SD Card > Choose Zip > browse to downloaded file > Install; likely similar in AR).

Optionally, download the new radio (Post #26 in same thread). Place that in the root of the SD card and reboot to the bootloader; it will install automatically.

Must admit i'm annoyed with how restricted the feature is - i mean the car, tv, and pc can all get text alerts from the phone. (Actually that's a lie, the car stopped getting text messages when i went to android)

So i'm sure its doable, its just a matter of getting a dev interested in doing it - unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start. :o
