[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Yes and yes!

You guys aren't doing anything stupid like running a Live Wallpaper when testing, are you? I'm fairly sure you aren't, but I have to ask!

100+mA for 100% brightness on the display is frankly abysmal! I mean, my Motorola Xoom manages less than that (actually the Xoom eats far less power than any other Android device I've come across, by a HUGE margin... hence why I need only charge it once a week at most, even though it's powered on with WiFi running 24/7)

Yes, Sense is a battery hog! It's why my guide on maximum battery runtime explicity recommends ridding yourself of it entirely!

As bad as Sense 2 is on the stock ROM, Sense 3 is at least 25% worse (from my experience with several Sense 3 ROMs, anyway)!

Why don't mobile manufacturer's focus on what really matters: longevity of uninterrupted, AC-free (I.E. battery) runtime?

Phones have already reached the necessary performance mark! We don't need hex-core 9001GHz CPUs in phones... we need a phone that'll run for more than a day between recharges!

Hell, I'd happily accept the Desire S being TWICE the thickness, if it meant double the battery runtime!

If you're reading this HTC (which I severely doubt).... why not make a "Fatboy" range of your current mobile offerings? I'd buy a "HTC Desire F" or a "HTC Sensation F" if you could guarantee more than a day of runtime under typical bench conditions! I bet many others would too!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
LOL, HTC fatboy....:D

no live wallpaper here, and every battery consuming option off...:(

As time progresses and the non Sense ROMs improve and become stable I do become more and more tempted to make the switch......:confused:
[HTC Desire S] runagate17:
I tried this with CurrentWidget (divide by 2 option enabled). wifi on, data off, sync off. 30s apart readings like ben_pyett.

0 - 42/45

25 - 56/54

50 - 69/72

75 - 87/89

100 - 109/106

I have CM7.1 & Tiamat 1.1.2. I have also gone through LaKraven's battery minimisation how-to (except for any Tasker steps). I don't get numbers like him though. Maybe my stock radio is a contributing factor.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Should point out that my readings are taken in a GSM "notspot" (no mobile reception of any kind) and I'm running a modification to drastically increase the polling interval when the signal is unavailable.

This means that I get spikes on the GSM (which I ignore when taking measurements as I meter the GSM drain separately).

Even so, even with GSM on, I still think that 100+ mA for screen at 100% is higher than it's supposed to be! As I say, my Motorola Xoom doesn't even use 100mA for its 10.1" display at max bright (in fact, the Xoom's biggest battery drain is its CPU, followed closely by the WiFi radio)

EDIT: To match my measurement method, use Airplane Mode to cut out all the radios (leaving only the screen and CPU consumption to meter).

Right now, screen at 100% (button backlight off)... 87mA

Button backlight on... 106mA (there's the ambiguity!)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
this method isn't possible as There is an issue on most roms certainly all sense ROMs where by air plane mode uses over five times the battery consumption than just leaving phone on, which is madness, but true

Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Let me put it this way...

Display switched off... GSM chip (no signal area) switched on = 47mA drain

Display switched off... Airplane mode = 2mA drain

Not sure why others are reporting that airplane mode is drawing more power... you using a custom Radio by any chance?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
We'll I might be at the moment, but, that's certainly not the problem, as I've tried all of the RADIOs that we have available to us and the problem is always there, the air plane battery drain issue has been previously been noted in several threads and the conclusion drawn so far is that its either a STOCK kernel or a STOCK ROM issue....which is the reason why you don't get it I imagine!

Evidence like that certainly sway the balance of the scales in CM's favour! :(

EDIT: Just realized I've used a couple of custom kernels (MDJ & UNITY V2) and the problem still existed.

Any idea if your Kernel would function on my sense ROM? I don't think it would unfortunately.....just to test the theory....
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
I'm running the Tiamat Kernel (http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_saga/)! It has enabled me to get my phones batteries to last.... a gobsmackingly long time!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I tried your kernel (which I know isn't built for Sense based ROMS) unfortunately it had some intermittent issues with wifi (in that wi-fi worked fine to start with then I just couldn't get any joy from it) I didn't do a full test but the phone signal seemed fine.

With your kernel (Tiamat_Saga-v1.1.2) rather than the HTC stock (build 1.48.707.1) Airplane Mode = 18mA which I appreciate isn't exactly great, but, it's less than half of what it normally consumes (38mA) on a Sense ROM.

I'm not quite sure what that proves, but it's progress at least! :(

[HTC EVO 3D] StellarWiid:
I'm on my 3rd phone and I think its good... Knock on wood. If this phone has problems I might ***** and complain for a GS2 or even a Photon. Though I actually love the 3D and would hate to loose it. I don't use it much but when I do it's still shockingly cool, especially to other people.
[HTC EVO 3D] DJ1994:
Yeah I love this phone. My first one only lasted a week before the screen stopped festering touch right where the e key is so I traded it for a new one and now everything is all good.

boom!! from my shooter

this is the best phone ever. i have been using the GSM version for over a week now and im loving each and every moment with this device, i upgraded from nexus one and damn im glad about it..

The phone is good. We don't need this thread
[HTC EVO 3D] mattykinsx:
What's wrong with a little positive?
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Lol.... Kinda the reason why I posted the thread I did. Just wanted to make sure the devs here know I appreciate their work. They are the true backbones in the android world. Google had the idea first, but the devs over there unfortunately have to design it for everybody, not just us who like to tinker. So that's where communities like this one are so valuable, and why Linux/android was the best idea for smart phones since the smart phone was invented.... Everybody is happy.

Love this phone,development kicks ass,light leakage my ass and who cares,tilted screen? Tilt your head the other way! CM7!!!!!!

[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Let me put it this way.

Virtually every single issue I had with this phone was software related, and with the 2.3.4 update from HTC, almost all of them are gone.

This phone is great and from a software standpoint, it's almost there too.

HTC EVO 3D 9/10 and easily the best phone I've owned to date.

But then again, so was the EVO 4G and Touch Pro2. :)

HTC EVO 4G 8/10

HTC Touch Pro2 9.5/10 (while it scored higher, this was due to how awesome HTC Sense and Windows Mobile 6.1 were for me at the time and its worldphone capability. There was nothing I couldn't do with that phone.)
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Tp 2 was a very awesome phone
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
My evo3d has been perfect from day 1.

I never had to do a return, and any issues that I did have, like crummy 3g, etc., were solved after a little reading on my part...(not by taking the phone back six times). Do I have a dead pixel? I don't think so, but if you held a magnifying glass to my phone and told me that I did, I wouldn't be surprised...(same thing goes for my screen possibly being tilted by one pixel as well). I seriously do not get it when I see complaints like that. I don't measure the pixels on a new TV, nor do I measure the carpet trim under the doors when I buy a new car, to make sure the "shag ratio" is correct.

So yeah, I'm still loving every bit (pun intended) of my Evo3d.

[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
I agree. I love my phone. This thing is taking more beating than the Hero ever did. I'm impressed.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Same here, sans the Touch Pro2 I was going to get. (I held out for the Hero) :p

I usually check my hardware before leaving the store so I never had to take home the "faulty hardware" problem.

I dig every bit of this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnCorleone:
I am not an Evo 3D owner myself but, if you haven't seen it yet, go on YouTube and watch the "Bubble Mania by Sprint" video that came out a week ago. I was speechless! It really shows the 3D's potential.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] monkey450:
I had flashed my wife's phone with jvq and the phone was almost useless, bad reception, calls dropping, sound faults and everything else that could happen did.

flashed with jvp like my own phone but still the same, strange cos my phone is perfect on jvp and Semaphore Kernel 1.60.

decided to find out why and downloaded lots of different kernels to try.

process of elimination

put the phone back to new with jvp (still the same)

so no need for different kernels.

then it hit me.

the wife had different covers on hear phone dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

removed the bling case cover.

perfect the phone is back better than it ever was so what am I saying.

stay away from fancy covers/ backs.

if you have faults and have a none standard cover try removing this first.

hope this helps :)

Hello, playing with my new toy. Have a DHD and quite experienced with rooting etc.

Im currently having some lag issues with mkv and or 720p or above movies. Tried mobo player and the normal one.

Currently have the revolver rom, feels quite good i like the update app which came with it. Going to try revHD rom later tonight to see if there is any improvements.

Whats a recomended video player or rom for movie stuff? Answers on a postcard, Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
Paid: Dice Player

Free: MX Video Player

Also, hd video is really difficult for the Tegra 2 that barely handles 720p. You can have 1080p, and smooth, but it will most likely need to be re-encoded so that the hardware will like it... you might want to try to overclock, often that solves the issue, even if not always.

If you go for the re-encode way, use h264 basic profile, that's the biggest deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paran0idAndr0id:
Thats really a bummer since i thought the tegra 2 is well capable to display atleast 720p mkv videos having a hd screen. Is it the tegra Architektur which doesnt play nicely with hd mkv material or just software related?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
Really? The mkv videos I downloaded the other day works just fine.. but I guess it could be because I'm overclocking? I mean, it was 720 p and it was working way smoooth with Mobo so I don't know where your complaints come frmo..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
It has to do with the type of encoding. You can get 1080p to play if you encode it right
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paran0idAndr0id:
just tried a 720p clip and it does play smoothly with HW encoding but can not play the sound back. Is it because of the sound track being dts 7.1 ch?

How long takes to convert a video with handbrake?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sontin:
Don't reencode the videos. Use a MKV -> MP4 Tool to reencode the audiostream to aac. It's way faster.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
Have a look at my tests http://painfullyrandom.blogspot.com/2011/08/testing-android-video-decoding.html and/or search here on XDA for Tegra hd video. Sadly it's not the best choice for video play... It works but it's far from optimal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkhawkff:
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Try Diceplayer. The only reason it won't playback ANY file well, is because the bit-rate is too high for Tegra 2. All the videos I download are 720P h264 and it plays them just fine. The only time it struggles is when there is fast panning (which results in a higher bitrate if it's a variable bitrate). All things said, I have no issues playing any videos, even those with 7.1 channel audio.

Also, use the search function. This is discussed at length in a few other threads in the transformer forums. I think it was specifically in the Themes/Apps forum.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jananan:
yes, Dice Player is the best so far. Playing videos is a hit / miss with the rest of the free players...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
same here but the audio is "only" AC3 5.1 the video is super smooth but there is no sound.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
I don't know where you get your files, but I'm almost sure I don't want to go to that site.

Example:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/420077/Indiana Jones 4_HD 1080base.mp4

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/420077/Indiana Jones 4_HD 720main.mp4

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/420077/Indiana Jones 4_HD 480high.mp4

those are a few seconds from the trailer of Indiana Jones and the crystal skull grabbed from the PSN "some time" ago. Play them at 1ghz on the Transformer with Dice (or whatever you want), and see what works well... I encoded this stuff in a way that shows my point. Same bitrate for all of them.

The original file is main profile, full hd and slightly higher bitrate. Still plays at 1ghz.

Keep in mind that if you make the file hard to decode, the size could be quite small, once I've watched a reasonably good dvd rip that was 250mb. That's the whole point of h264 vs divx, same quality, smaller file. Or same size better quality, depending on your point of view :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paran0idAndr0id:
I just tried the dice player and it plays the test file without problems being 720p mkv. I think Asus should had intergrated such a mdiaplayer by default
[HTC ChaCha] ABR2704:
If you're like me and use your ChaCha all the time and can't help but notice it's incredibly poor lifetime. I have found a solution for you that does not require you to have a separate PowerBank.

Get this battery from Ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-H...084?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e66923a44

And Use My CamDroid 1.5 (Lightweight ROM). Updates available regularly to flash.

Enjoy, I have already tested the 2430MAH Battery from Japan with my ROM and it works like a dream.

[HTC ChaCha] seilos:
Sorry,i have to say that it doesn't work at all for me.

I did 3 complete cycle the moment i got the battery and then charged for over 10 hours but it still last the same as the original or even less....

I don't believe it is real number.
[HTC ChaCha] aligrafix:
I have the HTC chacha extended battery (BA S570 2430MAH):

Located at the address:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-CHACH...ps=63&clkid=4356697590062588000#ht_2020wt_904

It lasts me for more than 3 days in standby mode, and if i use it, it lasts for more than 2 days. pretty much better than the stock original battery. it is 2430MAH and also, doesnt heatup, no other issues. I am still very happy with it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuddles100:
Hi jus wondering if anyone could help with the issue i have had after atttempting to unlock the bootloader! At first i was having problems with running the bat files after using downgrading/upgrading kernel method so downgraded to a 2.1 rom and ran the bat file from there which appeared to work! Then afterward flashed back to a 2.3 rom and to my horror my phone would not recognise sim card or connect to a network! So i tried reflashing a few times with other roms and still no dice! So i tried the upgrade/downgrade proceedure again and i get my signal back! So now everytime i flash a rom i have to run the bat file again is this normal or have i broken my radio like was warned and if so is there a way to fix it permanantely?

Thanx for any help u can give and maybe it can help someone else if they are having problems!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vatz:
Which bat file did you use? "qsd8250_setool2" or "qsd8250_semc"? I had the same issue because I flashed the wrong one, I used "qsd8250_setool2", but flashing "qsd8250_semc" fixed the problem. Now I have almost two days with the unlocked bootloader and no problems.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuddles100:
well i used that bl unlock program first but kept on getting errors then when i tried to upgrade the kernel again the phone wouldnt load! so not 100% sure if it worked and which one it used! And yes running qsd8250_semc defo got the signal back but it jus seems weird that if i flash a new rom i have to run it again! Anyways at least i can get the signal back which is the main thing!!

Magnet on flap of the case, will this cause problems with sensors? I have searched this and found some older posts on it for different phones. Just wondering if the G2 is effected by the magnet? Should I use a case with a magnet? Really not sure what kinda case to use if you shouldn't use a case with a magnet, all that I have looked at have a magnet of some sort or another on them.

Well I forgot about the snap on cases? But I really dont like those snap on cases, afraid you could bump your phone and it fall out of the snap on case.

It depends how strong the magnet is and where its located. But also the magnets could also accidentally turn your phone on by accident.
