[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
We are new to Android at some point, this is my first Android device.......but I've had many HTC Sense Windows mobile devices beforehand and most of the same things tend to apply.

I'd suggest as a first port of call you read this thread which is a GUIDE, and sticky for a reason kindly written by wnp_79, I learnt loads from reading this alone.

Don't expect to learn everything in a days....it takes weeks or months.....

just enjoy....and remember that we're all different have differing expectations and uses for the same devices so what suits one of us doesn't always suit the other.

ps

you shouldn't really go off topic like this.....if you need specific help say so and create a new thread or read the sticky threads which contain GUIDES and links to many useful resources. Don't expect to become an expert over night and attempt to learn as much as possible by simply reading before you risk damaging your device!
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
@ben_pyett ...Thx a ton for the guide - I do not think that I swayed from the topic tho. I did an S-off and rooted my device just today, as I mentioned, and am wondering what to do next in order to minimize batt. consumption...I really do need my phone since my school started and I am commuting back and forth long hours every day, and if LaKraven manages to write his guide and help me and hundreds of others - that would be awesome..

Btw. I just checked and my HTC does 14 mA on standby and 130mA just as I bring it back from standby. And, as I have installed CurrentWidget and one tap display brightness switcher- it goes from 132 mA (30% brightness) to 90 mA (0% brightness) on the same background...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
In which case I'd recommend that you also install Battery Monitor Widget which shows that you probably burn only 5mA to 8mA idle (while sleeping) which is what I use and believe to be the more accurate application.

In fact search the forum, as I've written many threads/posts on exactly this subject.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Last mention of being "off topic"... here's the guide I said I'd write earlier! Details (Step by step) how to not only flash the CM7 ROM, but takes you through all the settings (menu by menu) to optimize the settings for maximum battery life (with NO performance or features sacrificed!)

Enjoy
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
Much obliged Ben!
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
Cheers LaKraven. I shall apply it asap and report back :)

re partition your sd card,

-in recovery mode go to partition sd,

-set values at 0 for swap and ext,

-place the microsd in your computer and re format to FAT32

-than place back in device re partition to your preffered settings

-then re flash rom

for battery,

-go to recovery, wipe battery stats

-leave device powered off, charge battery for couple hours

-boot back into recovery and wipe battery settings again,

-reboot device and see if that helped out...

well that should have solved the other issues... but the powering off sounds like a bad battery/hardware
[Galaxy S II General] wireless.tech.expert:
Hi,

I have a weird problem - not just with your ROM - its occur in all the ROMs (maybe something with the Android):

The battery is very good until it reach approx 50-60% and after that it began to drift much faster.

I checked the battery usage and found that from that point (approx 50-60% of battery), the device is awake almost all the time (even that I didnt use it).

Any ideas on how to solve it?

Hi people

Today i wanted to go to clockworkmod recovery (through rom manager) to flash the latest kernel of franco (19.4) , but it didn't went to the recovery mode , instead it stuck on lg logo.

I tried the following steps :

1) getting out the battery + sim + sd card.

2) pressing home+vol down+power - didn't get to the clockworkmod

3) connecting the phone to pc , trying to use adb => getting the device not

found error.

None of these steps worked.

The only thing that "worked" was getting to emergency mode by pressing back+vol up+power. If i connect the phone to the pc , in emergency mode, it is still not being recognized.

Please help !!

thanks a lot
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Your phone is bricked. Flash KDZ to get back to your original firmware.

Anyway, don't use Rom manager. Safe and easy way to install amon_ra recovery http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13347868&postcount=249
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eranle:
ok thank you :)

I'm downloading now the original firmware of the phone (it's actually P509 T-mobile)

Still the phone isn't recognized by the pc in emergency mode (i disabled the lg modem in device manager) , is that supposed to be like that ? will the kdz updater work?

thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Should be.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastershefis:
Uninstall all LG drivers, make sure that is done! Then restart pc and install these drivers again through lg mobile utilities. Restart pc again and plug your phone to pc. Then your pc recognize your phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eranle:
well i flashed kdz with original firmware - in the kdz updater it finished

now it gets past the lg logo but stuck at the android logo.

dont know what to do...please help...

Solution to this

First it happened to me also. To get rid of this jus t keep shaking your phone from as soon as you connect it to pc to until the software update starts. I know this is wierd but it works only after shaking.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akshay.s:
Thanks terratrix,

I flashed 2 OCT v1.1 kernel and my P500 now works like a charm. battery usage is looking good and i OC'd it to 729MHz, but seems my phone is getting hot after few minutes of normal usage.

Thanks.

I've read somewhere in this site that the reason x10 mini recording is not HD is that it cannot -I think- uncode recording as soon as needed. but if it is able to save the file and uncode it with pc we can have Hd recording.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
So I love my bionic, I really have missed android in general. I came from a ip4 that could go 2 days without worrying about anything. I could stream pandora for 5 hrs at work and still not charge until the next night. The iPhone could last about 2 days with me actually using my phone, not worrying about the brightness or wifi or syncing. It's the third day with the bionic and I took my phone off the charger at 0720 this morning. It sat on my desk for 30 mins then I went three times on words with friends. It has now been off the charger for exactly one hour and 10 mins and it is down ten percent. Should I return this phone or give it a couple more days? I am using juice defender and not rooted.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] forsaken82:
i would check to see how often your email is syncing. is wifi, bluetooth, and gps off? also go to settings-locations&security and uncheck the location services and share picture location. turn your screen time out down to about 30 seconds. i was on mine for a good 7 hours of browsing and youtube with some pandora and google music miixed in

yesterday and it dropped to 40%.

OR

go buy the extended battery from verizon. It is on sale for $24.99. It only shows up that price after you buy it at the register or put it in your cart online. The sales associates will quote you $49.99 but it will drop i promise you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
I need the phone to at least last 20 hrs with moderate use. How bad is the ext battery?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
Plus mine already has all those settings that way
[Motorola Droid Bionic] forsaken82:
i dont know how the life is yet. however considering it is double the capacity im sure it should be pretty kick ass. 20 hours seems like alot to me with moderate usage for any 4.3 inch screened smartphone. especially one with 4g. I wont have 4g coverage till i get home on monday so im stuck on 3g. i would consider myself a heavy user though considering i tether to my xoom.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dxun:
You sleep 4 hours a day? All kidding aside 20 hours isn't realistic if you're looking to get that consistently.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
I work nights at a hospital. I am looking for the day of work and a entire shift without charging. My ip4 had no problem.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rancidcrab:
How are you getting it @$24.99? Even after I add it to my cart it shows at $37.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
Go to VZW store and buy one. It's 1/2 off.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] suchashorttime:
I have the extended battery, but it seems a bit short on power... It will charge to 100% overnight (about 7 hours), but will still drop pretty consistently on moderate usage. Anyone have any ideas on how to get the battery to reach its full potential?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] forsaken82:
im at 6 hours and sitting at 90%
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fillyo:
If you work in a hospital, put your phone on Wifi, it uses far less juice, switching from 3g to 4g and back can kill your battery.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tbgreen89:
I noticed that too. My stock sensation would last longer.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
How often r u using your phone? Im at 70% with moderate/ heavy usage and its been about 5hrs. That's in 3/4g mixed. With juice defender. Battery life seems better today.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GertBFrobe:
So, have you conditioned the battery? Sure, people will say you don't need to and I can see how "letting your batt run down to 0 then doing a full recharge" x 2 or 3 times will waste so much of your time. Don't do it then and you can keep complaining.

I laugh at folks that totally disregard this tip as if it were requiring you to disassemble phone or something.

I've done a complete drain down/full recharge twice so far ... 8 hours of "new phone setup and play time" and I just dropped to 70% (which is probably 75% with Motos stupid 10% batt gradient).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitric13:
Gettin 4hrs with moderate/heavy use on 4g network. Not impressed

Screen brightness turn down all theway. Wifi off..gps off

2nd charge of day already.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azshorty2003:
Well to be fair, word with friends for some reason absolutely kills your battery. Remember when I used to play it my battery would drop 10-20% at a time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sonicmax2k2:
Remember also that Moto phones only show battery life every 10% (until you hit 15%) so if you phone reads 90%, it may in fact be 94 or 95%. It rounds itself.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jphillips.hd88:
The extended is the way to go....got 8 hrs with it showing 70%....that's with nothing set to conserve....and streaming Pandora Bluetooth about half that time..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
Why can't the stock battery last as long as ip4, that's what I dont get. It sucks, I really like this phone but the battery is killing me. I will say that this phone has the best battery life of all the LTE phones.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
I don't want to have a brick for a phone.....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ted1735:
No battery issues

Verizon had the extended batteries 50% off for 4g phones!!!! $27 for Bionic Extended battery!!!!

Pete's One Click root was easy fast and perfect, done the first time!!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tornlogic:
You answered your own question. It doesn't last as long because ip4 isn't 4g. 4g radios use more current. Also compare screen sizes of your silly iPhone toy to your Droid. You think that big screen is going to have better battery life too?

Remember. You gotta pay to play. Can't get something for nothing
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
Dude... If you needed a phone to last 20 hours LTE is not your answer... Should have gotten a 3g phone. Though extended battery may help I'm not 100% sure... You are honestly unable to charge your phone for 20 hours?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
Then why in the world did you buy a 4g phone and expect 20 hours of battery life... That was a bad move buddy... Extended battery is your only answer and honestly you can't charge your phone for 20 hours?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Avelnan:
What he said! I highly doubt you work a 20 hour day, that would be insane. Don't be picky with your phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GertBFrobe:
I inconvenience myself for 10 seconds and turn LTE off when I'm by WiFi.

I have, though, sent Locale Devs a note to create a viable LTE plugin for their app. Would love to have an automatic switch to 3G when I enter my "Home zone".
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arcade16:
Honestly , the Bionic is perfect for a 4g phone or any modern smartphone for that matter. Getting 12+ hours away from an outlet while on 4G is fantastic. I don't believe that most people are away from an outlet or their cars for more than 12 hours anyways.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
Guys guys, I love the phone... All I'm saying is that I would like to be able to not charge my phone every night.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azshorty2003:
The extended battery actually adds almost nothing to the phone, I was very surprised. The extended on my dads thunderbolt is huge.

Using minimalistic text, it shows my battery status every 1% on this phone, not every 10% like others are stating, or like it did on my Droid.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Immolate:
That's been the reality of all the smart phones I have, and honestly its seems like just another routine. Let the dog out. Brush your teeth. Plug your phone in. It takes a few seconds and prevents you from forgetting that you didn't plug in in last night and then it dies during the night. Perhaps what you need is an inductive charger to reduce the hassle.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bill.garrett:
It's pretty simple...the ip4 isn't the bionic. It's not dual core, it doesn't have 4g, it has a smaller screen, it doesn't have as many processes running regularly by default (including all those widgets that are always updating). It's designed for a certain user experience, and, like all Apple products, is built to be as perfectly balanced as possible. The Bionic, like most Android phones, is built to be a machine, and in this case, a monster machine. That's why they make a dock with a second battery slot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kookahdoo:
I just carry an extra battery in my pocket with my Tbolt. Gonna do the same with my Bionic when I get it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
I might just go pick up an extended battery later today.... I actually am gonna have them throw it in. What are people seeing as far as battery life with the extended?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] forsaken82:
mine died after 21 hours yesterday. i had 5 hours of pandora, over 400 texts , alot of browsing the web, and it was bouncing between 1x and 3g for a couple hours. Now if they will release a case better than the shell/holster combo then i will be 100% happy with the phone. Im excited to get to try 4g tonight when i get home. Ive been out of town for the last 2 weeks and they have no 4g here.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Chopstix9:
Does the Bionic have a button to turn off mobile data like the Droid Charge does? Or is that a Samsung thing? It sure goes a long ways to saving the battery when I am not needing any data features.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
@forsaken82.... Do you have the extend battery? Or is this on the regular battery? Are you using juice defender or any other program like that? Also, what are your sync settings? I want to be able to use my phone to its full potential, not turning off all the things that make it bad ass.... You know?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
Just download juice defender, it will take care of all that
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Chopstix9:
I was just looking at that app on the market. Is it just me or does that thing seem to require one hell of a lot of permissions?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
They all do, google is very intrusive.... Always watching
[Motorola Droid Bionic] forsaken82:
i have the extended battery. the only email that i have sync often is my work email. i just manually check for updates on my other ones. that was also the first charge on that battery so im hoping that it will keep getting better. i am sure once im not playing with everything and messing with zumo cast it will get even better.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mustang02:
Extended is the way to go. It's not much of a brick, unlike my old thunderbolt.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitric13:
Good luck getting 21 hrs on 4g network

7hrs so far with extended battery. 30% left

Extended batttery doesnt turn the phone into a brick like Tbolt. Way better design.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Immolate:
I'm at 25+ hours and 60% with light usage but wifi and 4G on the whole time on a stock battery. No streaming or gaming in that time, just the usual phone calls, texts and tinkering. This is very much on par with my D3... perhaps a big better. It looks like the extra MaH in the battery is compensating well for keeping 4G up. I'm quite pleased so far.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
I'm probably on par to get the same actually. Went to the Bucs game today and sent a few texts, made two phone calls and a few pictures loaded them on facebook updated my status and checked my email online. I took the phone off the charger at 730am and I'm just now at 60%.

i love the feeling of the phone with the extended battery. i just got mine about 45 mintes ago and it feels and looks great. i am charging it now. for $26 it sounds like a hell of a deal.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BrianMigs:
That's with the extended battery correct?

Looks like you went out and picked one up? I have one, but I dont think it fits for the Incipio case that I got along with my Bionic. I'm not sure how I feel leaving my $300 phone bare naked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] acPIZZA:
I just got the extended battery and plan on having it ghost armored. If you treat your devices with care as I do you just need surface scratch protection. I can't remember the last time I legitimately dropped my phone. (Actually I do remember - I dropped my phone when I had an otterbox defender on an ip4. The ottetbox gave me a sense of care-free, which actually caused me to be a bit more reckless.)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TweakMyDevice:
Have any rooted users tried the battery calibration procedure of deleting batterystats.bin with Root Explorer, rebooting with battery out/Bionic plugged into charger, and letting it charge up to 100%?

Doing this made a HUGE improvement in battery life for my previous DX.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
This I with the regular stock battery. I am impressed to say the least. I am stock and only running juice defender. I just hit 20%.1718 currently.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rqballjh:
What does that mean? you hit 20% 1718 currently?

Are you rooted? bloat removed or frozen?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cutoonie:
I've been getting 8 hours easy with moderate to high usage. I have removed alot of the bloat though. That may have helped.

Purchased and extra (standard) battery for long days. I'm totally satisfied with battery life.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
Stock, and this means: 20% batttery left and its been off the charger for over 30 hrs. I took it off the charger at 0630am on 12SEPT2011. It is now 5:18pm on 13SEPT2011 and there is 20% battery left. This was the case earlier.... it actually lasted 38hrs until itt hit 5%. I can't post the screen shot from work but I can email it to someone to post for me. Any takers.?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] codehtmai:
How is there no Android OS or Display in that pic? The display is a pretty big drain if you're actually using that banking app for 2 days.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] terrapin01:
I would like to know, and I bet others would too, how you have configured your phone and juice defender, and how you use the phone to get a stock battery to last so long.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dbindock:
Second day of using it, and from my experience, batteries take about a week to "break in". I'm at 9 hours and still have 60% battery left. Just make sure you aren't idling on 4G, that will eat up your battery.
