Sounds about right. Every time I've "calibrated" a battery this happens. Run it dead the first charge. Then give it a few days-to-a-week before making another judgement. So long as nothing happens to your battery stats and nothing extraordinary happens WRT charging/discharge you will then have (what I consider to be) a well calibrated battery. If you don't like the results, too bad. I consider them more accurate than the very rosy outlook you had before calibration.

Myself? I haven't been burned by the battery lying to me yet so I haven't bothered to calibrate. I only do that when I feel the meter is way off base...which is hard to tell since usage can vary so much from day to day. Only when it is glaringly obvious that something is awry do I do this...mostly 'cuz it takes so long to get things back to normal.

In summary, yeah...sounds about right. Don't panic and just use it normally if you want an accurate meter, whether you like the truth or not I think you'd prefer the truth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Your battery behavior sounds to be normal.

You should be getting about 1% battery drain per hour when screens is off.

You should be getting about 1% per 2-3 minutes of screen on time, depending on usage.

Evo4g and Evo3d were getting about 1% per 2 minutes of usage.

This phone isn't that much different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
When it dies after calibration, you should charge it to 100% without break.

Following calibration, batteries still take a little time to settle. Give it a week or two and you'll see its true discharging rates.

Also, I've never heard of that app. Use the Battery Calibration from Ne'ma.

Battery Calibration by Ne'ma works well for me. The above posts sound right give the a few cycles to settle in.

[Atrix 4G General] janggu:
Hi there,

I was very unhappy and was about to go back to 2.2.2 because the battery life was horrible after OTA upgrade to 2.3.4. Here is how I resolved the battery issue on my Atrix 4G. This was the simplest way for me and works great.

Pre-Condition:

-You must not a heavy user because this method is going to slow down your phone's performance.

-Rooted phone.

1. Download CPU tuner (free) from the market and install it

2. Under Settings (this will option will pop up when you run the app for the first time)

-Set "User Interface > Experience Level" to Power User

-Do not check "Enable CPU tuner"

3. Set Frequencies under Current tab to

Min: 216 MHz

Max: 312 MHz (you can increase this if you wish but it will consume more battery)

4. That's all

Although the performance is really slow, I still get calls, email and text.

When I need to do something, I just open up the app and increase the Max. frequency to 1000. And then, change it back to 312 MHz when I am done.

I do battery calibration once in a while with a free app from the market.

*** My battery is still at 80% after 12 hours of use. ***
[Atrix 4G General] turl1:
Set your max to 216, it will last even more!
[Atrix 4G General] termleech:
Actually to get the best battery life, I recommend turning off the phone. It will increase the battery life even more.
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
I paid for juicedefender a while back and didn't really use it until recently but it works great. Shuts off wifi when not in use, and turns off data when the screen is off. I still get texts and calls with no issues. I tried setting my max to 216 and it took like 10 seconds for the screen toturn on when getting a call....and a couple of times the calls went right to voicemail.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
I do all those things manually.
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
I was too but I thought being it was automatically done whne the phone times out...it works great if you forget or don't have time to do. Just thought I share it...my battery is hit or miss with different ROMs but this seems to help without scaraficing time or functionality.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
This is probably why I won't go GB on the Atrix. I had enough run with it on my SGS. Battery life is way too important to me...
[Atrix 4G General] ericwcc:
Try to disable/uninstall the CPU control software such as SetCPU and let the system to control the CPU. You may find the solution.
[Atrix 4G General] janggu:
Thank you for all the comments guys! It works for me at no cost so I just wanted to share the tip with others.
[Atrix 4G General] carlharsch:
Yes, and turning off my engine and coasting down hills saves me gas.:D

Sorry, I just can't see crippling performance as a solution.
[Atrix 4G General] Fountainhead931:
I use Temp + CPU Pro to monitor my CPU and most of the time it stays at 216, it switches up to 312, 456, then to 1 ghz occasionally but most of the time is at 216.

Over all I would have to give the 'lil fella credit for managing CPU speed automagically pretty well.

PS: Carlharsch I was visiting a vendor in China, and on the interstate the driver would cut the car off on hills, and I leaned forward to look at the limo gas meter and it was on E! I asked the interpreter WTF are we out of gas? Why the H*ll did you pick me up with an empty tank! She lied and said "oh no, the gauge is broken, haha". Of course I laid into the management at the company and at the end of the week the car was full when we left.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
Heh, I factory reset my phone the other day and was surprised to see a different looking market app... must have been 2.3.6.

Then I hit the back key and it was updated to 3.1.5 again, which was the only version I'd seen on the phone before.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
Go to Settings -> Applications, find the market app in the list, and clear data/cache

Open the app back up and it should update shortly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
I use the old market

you have to re-install the apk (hint you can get it from the cyanogenmod gapps link)

and then you have to FREEZE "market updater" using titanium or some other software that will freeze apps

this way market wont update as soon as you sign into the market

I prefer the old version, since it sees my app list better, and shows me what updates I need....the new one wont show updates on mine for some reason for ALL my apps, only a few
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
Then use the market doctor in titanium
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
thats funny, Ive had titanium all this time and never knew about this feature,

So I sync'd with my google account and it imported all my contacts, the only problem now is that I do not want my google account sync'd however if I delete it, it will delete all of my contacts with it off the phone. Is there a way I can transfer all google contacts currently in my phone contacts to sim without third party app?
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
I'm assuming that when you say you don't want you're google account synced you mean your mail right? Because you do want your google contacts? If this is indeed what you want, settings> accounts & sync> your google account> uncheck everything besides contacts. If that's not what you want, can you try explaining in another way so I can help.
[HTC Sensation] fashofasho:
Hello, I do not want my google account sync' anymore even though I have already disabled mail and everything else to be sync'd I do not want my google account associated with this phone. however I have no choice because whenever I try to delete the google account off my phone its says all of the contacts will erase with it too. I have been trying to find how to copy all of my google contacts to the sim but no apps have been working
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
Phone>menu> people> menu> export to sd card. Once exported, go through the same steps but instead choose import to from sd card and choose phone as the location. You may now not sync google account while keeping your contacts. Keep i'm mind that new contacts will be erased if you do a factory reset as google us not syncing and backing then up anymore.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] strychninetwitch:
ones included with a device? They have amazing bass, great mids, alright highs. I mean sure, obviously they're not comparable to $400 earbuds, but I'd say they're as good as the $140 Klipsch ones I had before my dog ate them(yes, I nearly kicked my dog through the wall and two towns over...). Good noise isolation alone is extremely rare, and these are pretty good. I can have the volume all the way up and no one can hear me more than 5 feet away, and I can have sound off and still not hear any external sound.

Is this typical of Samsung?

Once again, I'm not saying people should buy an Infuse instead of $400 hifi earbuds, but I AM saying they're great for something you get free with a device.

Probably your captivate doesn't support ad-hoc wifi. Use the tethering functionality built in into the system (no apps) to tether in infraestructure (aka "AP") mode, then your captivate will pick it up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soy_Filipo:
I'm starting this post as a guide for people trying new roms, I thought of asking which rom are you using right now, but that would be a popularity contest.

I've been an android user for a while, but I'm new with the cappy, as a new owner, I didn't know which rom is the best rom around, so far I've tried at least 5 (firefly, darky, apex, stock 2.1, stock 2.2) But I don't wanna say which one I'm using right now cause I don't wanna influence the results of this post.

So, I'm Gonna post all roms I've see and ask the users what you think, please, after voting, talk about your experiences with the roms you've been using, I feel this could help choosing a rom for every new owner.

If I'm leaving a rom out, please let me know and I'll post it.

If you are a developer and you don't wanna see your rom here, please let me know via PM it and I'll remove it.

Alright, I've tried to edit the poll but as it turns out, only moderators can edit polls, so, please, I'll try to contact a moderator to include other roms in the poll, but I don't wanna bug a moderator for every single rom, so, If you guys be so kind, which other roms would you like to see here?

So far I only have one suggestion from xhozt to add victory, I would like to add at least other 5 roms. Suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
This is a bad idea. First off its a matter of opinion and secondly all the dev work hard on their roms, how is it fair to say one is better than the other?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soy_Filipo:
Yes, as choosing a phone its a matter of opinion, and yes, not all roms work the same and they don't have the same performance, are you implying cause they are working hard on their roms they shouldn't be rated?

What you are saying its like saying movies shouldn't be rated cause people work on them.

We should have an honest poll an opinion for guidence, this shouldn't mean we are disregarding other people works, I support all developers, but as a person, I believe some roms I've tried are better than others. The posts I've seen have not helped me making a decision on a particular rom, so far all have been trial an error. Not every rom is perfect, but some are better than others.

On a final note, Its just a poll, I'm just asking people around, if this polls were more extensive, I would ask more questions as memory managment, multitasking performace, etc. But I can only ask one question.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Lol thats different. We are talking about community dev's spending their part time working on projects. Don't know you shouldn't compare or rate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhozt:
can we get victory added ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soy_Filipo:
Sure thing buddy, I'm trying to edit the poll but I cant find where is that option
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
It is a bad idea only because it has been tried before and failed. Best rom threads are locked because every user has differences in what they like, as well as how their phone reacts to the rom. A search next time could show how many of these threads, including the last rom poll are locked.

Just so you know, you can't edit the poll once it has been created.

Glitch kernel let me OC to 1.4!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soy_Filipo:
I still believe work can be rated, but I'm not rating individual works, Im asking for people's opinion, if a developer has something to say about it, and want their rom removed, I would gladly remove it. I won't do it cause you don't think is right, this is a free site last time a checked.

The wife signed up with AT&T and got herself a nice little WP7 phone today. I was thinking about adding a line and buying the Samsung Infuse for $100 from them and rolling with it.

Thing is... I've had my HTC Evo for over a year and I run MIUI. I have for a long time now. I want the faster phone, bigger screen... cheaper bill than my Sprint!

Ideas? Thoughts? Anyone done this switch? Evo to Infuse?

It looks like a bad ass phone.. I do love my Evo though... The Evo is pretty bad ass in itself IMO.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MartyLK:
I rarely switch. I usually just add...lol

However, the Evo is a nice phone and is similar to the Inspire, which I have. But the Infuse is a much nicer phone with the SAMOLED+, larger screen, better audio chip and stronger CPU. The only thing it needs right now is Gingerbread. It's still on FroYo. But rumor have the GB update coming out by the end of this month.

The Infuse is much lighter and the battery life is much better than my Inspire. It's also elegantly styled. It has 16GB internal storage. I love mine and am glad to have it.

It's still on Froyo? Wow. I didn't think any device like this was still using Froyo.

Hell, if they have CM for it then I think I can live with it. I'd miss MIUI though..

I will keep on pondering. Her phone should be here tomorrow and then I can sign up online with AT&T and add a line and all that over the computer. Then maybe I'll add myself a nice line with an Infuse.

I just posted by Evo on Craigslist. Doubt I'll get what I want for it.. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/mob/2614360614.html
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
Well it's a relatively new phone, but Gingerbread was already old news when it came out, so what's really sad is that AT&T released it without Gingerbread to begin with. Then again, it's probably better that they didn't take the half-assed approach that Rogers did. :/

That said, depending on what features you depend on and how good AT&T's HSPA+ network is in your area, you can run one of the Rogers-based GB ROMs without any significant problems. And of course, as has already been said, official AT&T GB shouldn't be very far off.

Honestly though, I'd wait if I were you. While the Infuse certainly is better in a few areas, the EVO's a perfectly good phone. And not to knock our devs at all--they do a great job--but CM7 isn't really ready for primetime over here. If you want to run MIUI on an Infuse, expect a fair amount of inconvenience compared to what you probably have come to expect on your EVO. If you want to switch to AT&T, the Galaxy S II will be out in a week and a half, or if you extend your timeline to a few months, you can see what LTE phones get released.
