[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alappancholi:
Yes its original and perfectly normal ... u can also check HD2 and other HTC devices ... they all have the same grid ... this is coz its a capacitive touch screen ... u can also check Iphone, However, on the IPhone they r not as visible as they r on the HTC phones ...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekid1982:
thanks for your reply, i checked on HTC EVO 4G but i can not see the grid

I have a Verizon W Droid Incredible rooted. I installed the ROM from one of the developers on this site:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1260994#

My phone works great and I'm very happy... kudos to Jermaine151

Only two questions,

1) i'm not a heavy user and my phone stay on my desk all the time and I check e-mail 4-5 times a day and the battery last only 5-6 hours,

I've read on this site and others that my radio (baseband) might help improve this issue batery life.

what do I need to change and how do I know I need to update it?

2) Speech to Text does not work all the time. I talk "loud" and it does not do anything... I know the mic works cuz I cam make phone calls - also, I enable spanish and the speech to text does not recognize spanish words. how do I enable and fix this?

Adroid Version 2.3.4

Baseband 2.15.00.09.01

Kernel 2.6.35.15-g55a06e5

build number 4.06.605.3 Stock+ jermine151

Thank you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
1) Several factors affect battery life. I would first suggest you download an app called "spare parts" free from the market. You can check battery settings in there and you can see what apps use the most CPU, data, vibrate, satellite, etc

> updating to a more efficient kernel can greatly improve battery life

> updating your radio usually as minimal effects on battery life

*** All new ROM and/or Kernel installs will cause your battery gauge to be off. This means that your battery will not fully charge (unless you turn your phone off and charge it that way), your gague will usually stabilize after 3-5 cycles. The more you use it the more accurate it will get. Of course it doesn't hurt to check the above in the meantime ****

2) This sounds like a ROM issue, you may want to post in your ROM thread and ask if anyone else is having that same problem
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamelord21:
Thank you so much for your reply,

As per your suggestions, where do I find an alternate kernel and a radio?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
i dont think it will fix your battery problem but you will have better reception with new towers added every month its good to do it once a month or check here when you want to http://www.roamingzone.com/prl/

or maybe it will. according to VZW site it says it will but i dont know if its true:

Updating your Preferred Roaming List (PRL)

Verizon Wireless is constantly making advancements in our roaming technology to provide you with superior roaming capabilities. By updating your Preferred Roaming List, you will have access to these enhancements, which may include:

Longer battery life

Fewer dropped or blocked calls

Clear, crisp connection in even more areas across the United States

Ability to connect to the digital network in more parts of the country

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

your phone shouldnt restart after a PRL update. it should just cycle the radio on off and the new PRL should be between 52522 - 52524 depending on where you live.

by any chance were you an Alltel customer before VZW?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Hm, I just updated my PRL and it's 52501.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:
Hey all, so its simple:

i wiped and went to stock, updated all the way, then flashed the rom just in case it would help. then i flashed the tetherfix and started restoring my stuff. the contacts would not restore using TB, but i ended up taking care of that thru my gmail account. now the issue is im getting force closes on my camera app, every time i open it it forcecloses, and i keep getting android.media force closes at random times.

add to that the fact that the facebook sync doesnt work(i have a decent work around for now), battery is disappearing at a ridiculous pace, virtually dead from 100% in under 8 hrs where i was mostly in class not using it, and the lack of the features from my favorite CM based rom, and i am pretty irritated about how this update's turning out so far.

oh and while everyoen was talking about getting better signal, im having issues with 4g dropping to 3g; it shows no signal but wont drop back to 3g, or goes into idle 4g mode tho connected, but apps that need internet dont take it off idle...finally, its not letting me update PRL or profile. this is on TEUV kernel, stock rooted rom 2.3.7.

Any fixes i can employ for now until CM or such rom that takes care of all the issues mentioned above, adopts 2.3.7?

ive also gotten a few times where i was getting core forcecloses and had to wipe cache partition to get it working again. cache and dalvik.

thanks

~ Ramy
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Its probably because you restored literally every app you had backed up including system apps. So I bet you restored the camera app on top of the already installed 2.3.7 camera app. Clear cache and data for the apps that are force closing.

Also, did you have this 4g issue on the stock kernel? I ask, because if you are in an area with a weak 4g signal, running an undervilted kernel could decrease signal strength.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Generally restoring apps + data using TB from rom to rom causes more issues than (specifically FC errors) than it is worth.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
go to the main phone settings, applications, manage apps, all, camera, then clear the data. now open the camera. never restore data or youll have issues.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:
Simms u pretty much saved me on that one thanks so mmuch

:) I cleared data for camera and for media storage and for now it seems to do the trick. Any wisdom on battery, 4g 3g thing, or prl profile updates? And to answer the question, on stock I didn't try the 4g but its worked fine on 2.3.5...finally what kernel do u guys recommend for best performance and battery?

I have been having poor battery life since I got this device on launch day. I just noticed today that my Wifi is constantly scanning even though it is connected. I usually keep Wifi on most of the time since I have really slow 3g at home and the building I work in is like a concrete bunker built in the 1970s so nobody gets very good service in there.

Anybody else notice this?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
this is also happening to me, and it is KILLING MY BATTERY!!!! really frustrating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
What do i look for to notice if its scanning constantly? is it the popup that comes up? with the networks that are in range?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
i installed a free app called "watchdog lite", and it notifies me everytime my cpu usage goes over 50%, and at this time, i open watchdog, and it tells me "android system" is using 90%+ of the cpu... <<-- this happened EVERY 5 MINUTES when wifi is on. with wifi off, this only happened once in a while, maybe once every couple hours...

screenshow below: the critical battery drop happened when i turned on wifi, and CPU usage was going over 50% every other minute, and i restarted phone...

btw, this wifi issue does NOT happen when the phone is connected to a charger
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:
I've noticed this as well and I believe its also negatively impacting battery life. Its interesting that it would continue to scan while its connected.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
Fixed yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
I think multiple people (myself included) have confirmed that this was normal behavior - it scans constantly, yet there's no battery drain associated with it.

It seems that whenever you are on that Wifi settings page, it keep scanning constantly. But when you leave the page, it stops doing it that often (or at least doesn't drain the batter.)

You can check that by turning off wifi and still noticing big drain - which would indicate that wifi isn't the issue.

Now, there may also be a bug where this constant scanning actually continues. But like I said, it doesn't do it for everyone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walkaway:
Use y5 battery saver from the market. It turns on and off with known networks and helps alot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahow628:
My wife's is doing this and it is definitely affecting battery. Viewing the battery graph, it does a decline of about 30 degrees with only 3G on and with wifi on it does a treacherous drop of about 50 degrees. I've actually told her to just leave 3G on all the time because it is easier on the battery. Hoping for a fix soon.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you want to try something, change WiFi Sleep Policy to *never*.

It seems counterintuitive, but the bug where Android system uses a lot of CPU uses much more power than setting WiFi Sleep Policy to never as the WiFi is using very little power when not transmitting data while Android system is just sucking up your battery with this bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahow628:
That was the first thing I checked and it was set to never by default. As I mentioned, it is still scanning every 3 seconds and using about 50% more battery than 3G. I've completely disabled wifi and remaining battery was about 60% at the end of the day vs 45% the day before with similar usage patterns.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Entropy512:
Show me your logcat where it's scanning every 3 seconds when you're outside of the settings menu.

If you're sitting in the settings menu, that's completely irrelevant. The assumption is that when you're in the settings menu, you're looking for a netwok, and the scan rate is increased significantly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
Mine also scans every 3 seconds by default
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
My wifi consumes very little battery when it is connected to a router. But it also does consume a lot when not connected. It does scan every 3 seconds when in the settings screen.

From this behavior, we can conclude that wifi stops scanning continuously when it is connected to a router. Also, there's a chance for a bug in the ROM software, where wifi keeps scanning too often when it isn't connected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Deducing that wifi is always scanning because it does so on the wifi settings screen is like saying your refrigerator light must be on all the time because it's on every time you open the door and look inside. :rolleyes:

OP: Maybe you are plagued with one of the multiple battery-draining issues on the E4GT? LoS, AndroidOS, wakelocks...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahow628:
Any way to do so without installing ADB? Can I view it straight from the phone?

Just to clarify, when I'm in the settings menu, it very clearly says it is connected to my wireless network and there are no disconnections. However, it will still say scanning every three seconds, as mentioned. My wife's Epic did not do it, my Evo doesn't do it, and my Galaxy Tab does not do it. The Epic 4G Touch is the only one that does it out of the four phones we've had in our house.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
There's no extra battery drain when I am connected to the router. With about 3-4 bars of service and display off, wifi only drains about 0.5-1% of battery per hour.

The drain is significantly larger when not connected to a router though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
"Scanning" doesn't really entail any extra processing. It's just refreshing the list of wireless networks that your Wifi antenna is picking up passively. It's not like your device needs to broadcast a powerful signal to pick up on new wireless SSIDs. It just shows you what it sees.

This is completely normal behavior and is most likely not the cause of your battery issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thunderchicken02:
Wifi Scanning

For me, wifi was the cause for my horrendous battery drain, but I'm not sure whether or not it was due to the frequent scanning. Overnight, my battery dropped 41% in only 7 hours, doing nothing but having wifi on. Refer to screenshots below, I woke up at 7 and turned off the wifi. Immediately, my battery stopped discharging. Instead of steadily losing battery power while idling, it started sipping power. The only variable that changed in this time was turning wifi off. Since running on 3G only, my battery dropped 18% in 10 hours (although this is with very light use). The graphs speak for themselves! This might not be the issue for some people with battery drain issues, but I hope it helps someone.

edit: My wife's phone exhibited identical battery drain, wifi off also solved the problem with her. No problems with signal strength from the router, and this never happened on our Evos.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knives of ice:
This is the exact problem i have. Anyone found a solution? I'm connected to wifi nearly ask day with a great signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahow628:
The only solution I've found on my wife's Epic Touch is to use 3G. She toggles wifi on for updating apps and large downloads.

I plan on getting one. Even though it's already a few months old, I feel like it's one of the most "future proof" of current phones on the market right now.

Things like Exynos CPU/GPU, 1 GB ram, NFC, effectively maximum speed HSPA+... My Captivate runs quite comfortable at 1.3 GHz w/ Cyanogenmod and still beats the pants off of any stock Android device currently available in the States. That's 2+ versions of Android ahead of what it launched with (2.1 Eclair), and a 30% overclock of what the stock chip came with. By similar logic, the GS2 should last through Ice Cream Sandwich and beyond...
