Verizon

I assume you have verizon right? I think verizon is awesome where i live since i most times get full bars (michigan by the way) so maybe your in deadzone for verizon... although can you hear me... good might fail there huh

What kind of radios r u guys running?? I'm running the 2.15.00.07.28. And I'm anywhere from 1 to 2 bars, but sometimes 4
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
I'm on the 08.08 radio. And I know closer to 0 is better, I just don't know if mine is decent or awesome lol. Mine now is -75.

hmmm. i dont kno if updating it would be worth it or not. lol. the thing that bugs me the most is that my signal always bounces around. it never stays consistent. it goes from 1 bar, to 2, to 1, to 4, to 2 etc. i just wish it was constant because im pretty sure it puts a hurting on my battery
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Right now I'm at -79 with 3 bars showing. I'm in a spot were reception is great. At my apartment it was at -86, showing 1 bar. Verizon is not very strong where I live, but I never drop calls or have issues with cutting out. I did update my PRL today, which it did update to a different number, so I'll re-test it out at home to see what it looks like.

EDIT: I am using the 08.08 radio.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisepic0727:
I'm using the 2.15.10.07.07 radio from the GB OTA and I have a -65. At times I've seen it as high at -91 at my house.

Can't complain though, I get service everywhere I've been.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
Technically, -91 is low, not high lol. Closer to 0 is higher.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisepic0727:
Ahh, good point, I didn't notice my mistake. I usually get -91 or so around my house, but at work I get -65 -- only about 2 miles distance, but work is closer to a tower.

I don't remember what I was getting with the 07.28 radio. I wish I would have checked before I flashed the new one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bellj949:
Even with 5 bars of signal, you will probably never go below -50.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] footfingmaster:
I am able to get wireless tethering to work unencrypted, but as soon as I turn on encryption ( tried all different encryption modes ) it gives me the message "tethering started with errors! Please check 'Show log'"

show log says "activating encryption (iwconfig)...failed

Any ideas on how to resolve this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless tether app to no avail. Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
I believe the ET4G can only do ad hoc so security is not supported out of the box. Someone will have to hack infrastructure mode.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] p00t3rt00t3r:
I'm having the same issue with encryption on wifi tethering. Error in iwconfig shows up in logs. Everything else works fine.

Adhock mode being the limitation doesn't seem to make sense... as I recall EVO 4G ran that way too and encryption worked... don't quote me though I could be wrong :)

Anyone have anything else on this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] p00t3rt00t3r:
OK I read up, seems the EVO could do Infrastructure mode. Man I'm starting to miss that suckers fucntionality... :) Bring on the fixes and custom ROM's!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Prosiris:
I have the same problem, Epic 4G touch with Calkulin ROM, and I think it has something to do with the WiFi Tether app. If I use the Sprint Hotspot app I can set encryption just fine, everything works fine and dandy. But if I switch over to WiFi Tether app, when I enable "iwconfig" encryption it says there is an issue in log. If I use "WPA_supplecant" it enables the wifi network but doesn't apply any sort of encryption. And I'm absolutely positive the Sprint Hotspot app applies encryption just fine.

The reason I want to get WiFi Tether working is because I want to go back to the stock ROM, which I can't use Sprint Hotspot app on.

hey people!

In some roms like MiniCM7, DX Roms and Racht HackDROID roms there is a logo before the BootAnimation (after the white SonyEricsson logo), and in some ROMs there isn't.

[Vibrant General] Metzenw:
So, I was at my local Best Buy today, just browsing around, and I wondered over to the Mobile department to see what working displays they have(Not Many). My local Best Buy is set up with two desks with two of the four major carriers on each desk. Well when I went to look for T-mobile, cause you know, I like to not be bent over a stump by my carrier, and noticed no T-mobile phones to be had. I didn't ask an associate about it, cause I know what my next phone will be. So when I got home and looked at this weeks add, No adds for any T-Mobile phone.

So with Radio Shack dropping T-mobile and now Best Buy quietly dropping T-mobile, do they know something that no one else knows? That the AT&T/T-Mobile merger is a sure deal no matter what the DOJ and Sprint say?

If anyone knows something I've missed, which is probably alot. Please share for the rest of us.

[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Walmart also in some locations. One Walmart in my area has a dedicated cell phone "store" at the front where they keep the hair and nails and photo. They still carry T-Mobile, very limited selection of phones though. The other Walmart near me still has the cell phones in the electronics section and they axed T-Mobile phones about 6 months ago. I actually got my vibrant at this location last September.

Looks like everyone is expecting the merger to go through OR the decision was actually tmobiles and they are confident in the merger.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Best buy only carries certain cell phone carriers in some districts, the one closest to me dropped tmobile well over a year ago.
[Vibrant General] gun:
Best Buy don't have T-mobile phones in stock but they still can order them. So they haven't discontinued them yet.

Walmart still carriers T-Mobile but some locations only have prepaid phones.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ldxmsg:
Having come from Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Android phone I really miss not having an LED notification for new emails and SMS messages. I have an HTC 7 Pro (unlocked with 7720) and it has an LED which flashes when charging, when I miss a phone call, and if the battery is low. Does anyone know how to enable it to flash for new messages or when in signal (like a BB does)?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If this is even possible, it would require the following:

1) Native code to access the LED (theoretically possible but not done yet).

2) Native code to access the email/SMS database (same caveat).

3) Running the app in the background (possible, but impacts the whole system).

Alternatively, there may be a way to control this from the registry, if the phon'es firmware supports it directly. That simply requires finding the relevant registry keys (should be possible, if they exist) and modifying them (possible on HTC, Samsung, LG).

Hey guys,

What others roms are good but unity ? my phone doesn't last that much, battery goes down pretty quick without heavy use. no more than 14 hours .

Anything good non sense ?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewAD3:
Royal Ginger 3.0.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GioIsGio:
Well, I've been using HoneySense 8 released a few days ago and battery life is incredible. Give it a shot maybe? UI is awesome. Has some quirks yet though' but it's stable. Only problems I've found is the innability to use front-facing camera in the stock app and well, what everyone is talking about in the thread, not being able to use wi-fi calling.

EDIT: OH sorry, if you're looking for anything other than sense, MIUI is my other choice. Used it for a few months back when I had a T-Mo G2/desire Z. I don't know the specs on how it works on the MyTouch 4g, but there's already an official release and some mods out there~ look em up. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenmehrer:

Am I the only one who thinks that Microsoft is doing really well with the platform? They launched last year have had one issue (with the Nodo update) and are already ahead of schedule on there Mango update.

To me honestly my Dell Venue Pro looks better then my brothers android phone it may not have as many features but it has all I look for in a phone. I just don't see why everyone is complaining so much :s?

Oh and if I have missed something about the platform please tell me :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] the.rider1290:
No, you are not the only one.

I had WP7, then some friends tried to persuade me to pass to Android, i used it for a month until I trow it out of my car window (It was a Nexus One, so exactly the same hardware as LG E900 I was using and I am currently using).

Far too bored from system lockup, too much energy consumption from the OS an applications, Android is just a bunch of buggy software.

Now back to WP7 and breathing again, no need to travel with battery charger, fast and reliable os...
[Windows Phone 7 General] BlackDino:
What kind of battery life do you get on wp7? I get around 10 hours while my android phone usually gets 26-30.

For all the strong points on wp7 battery performance is not one
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I have to agree with this. My Focus is horrid for BL. I have all syncing set to manual and even deleted all apps that required syncing data except the weather app. My Focus, not being used, will drain the battery in less than 2 days...remember, I said not being used...the screen is always off, the sim is out and the wifi sleeping.

My Androids are much better. Even my HD2 with Android lasts several days with mild usage. My iPhone is unmatched, though. It just lasts and lasts. I can go a week with mild usage and still have 75% battery.

MS needs to focus on the BL.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikroland:
Must be low utilization....

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Totally disagree, I have the 1.3 focus and have no problem getting through a 12 hour work day with moderate to heavy use.

I think comparing Android battery performance to WP isn't a direct comparison since Android runs on a plethora of different hardware with different battery sizes, cpus, gpus, etc, etc... WP has what, less than 10 models currently on the market?

Although that's soon to change.

I do know this for a fact: My colleague had a Samsung Infuse and her battery wouldn't last 8 hours. Returned it for an iphone cause the Mango wasn't even close to RTM at the time.

That's probably because her battery is 1400 mah and mine is 1500 mah. Also her CPU is 1.5 ghz and mine is 1.0 ghz.. After that, then the OS would come in to play.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

No, and millions of others including myself think it's doing well too.

But remember, there's a lot of money at stake and people will do/say anything to try to stop their camp from potentially losing any market share.

Be patient. MS has some very big things coming. It's a long term plan, and time will reveal it. And only then will the doubters finally see what's going on.

But the haters, there's nothing that can be said for them except please leave this forum and keep your nonsense to yourselves.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
If you are basing your assumption that you are the "only one" off of the forum posts on XDA (or on any forum really), don't.

Its a well known fact that complaints are much louder than praise. But the number of people complaining is minute compared to the many others who are too busy using and enjoying their phones to bother with any forums.

Especially here on XDA, where one of the reasons we're all here is because we see something that could be improved or better, and we gather here as enthusiasts and developers to make those improvements. Its only natural that these improvements are based off of complaints that people make here.

Its not a perfect platform, but then again, no platform is. And for being only 1 year into the platform, its doing quite well both in terms of the app Marketplace, and the general development of the platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jallenashley:
How do you get that much battery life out of you iPhone? Everyone I know with an iPhone, especially the iPhone 4, can't get through a whole day without looking for a charger at the end of the day. With a battery pack case, they can make it through two days. I'm just wondering.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Totally disagree. I had an Infuse and the battery life was the best of my Android. It would last a long time. Much longer than 8 hours.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

I'm a mild user. I rarely make phone calls and do minimal things with it. It's my main phone and I keep it with me all the time, but it basically just sits in my belt case and once in a while I'll pull it out and check emails, market apps and do some other things with it.

But if I do make or receive calls, it will drain much more than it does. But there is no exaggeration about the BL I see with it. I can go several days forgetting about it and when I do think about it I figure it might need charging. But I pull it out and look and it's barely moved away from a full charge.

And this is the same type usage I do with my others phones, except my Focus. My Focus just sits at home in its pouch never used. But the battery will drain in less than 2 days.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I wouldn't really consider an idle phone a good benchmark for battery life, though it is the easiest. It is non-standard usage and probably not something they are optimizing around.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The only idle phone I have is my Focus. And all of my Androids and my iPhone are used, but used minimally. For music on my iPhone, I get around 50 hours. The standby time on the iPhone is literal and true. The standby time on the Androids isn't. The standby time on my WP7 phone is the most horrendous I've seen since my Blackberry Pearl Flip.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
My surround battery life is great. I don't use it much for talking but i do use it to check my fantasy football scores, constant emails withour exchange server (push mail), comcast home email, yahoo (for fantasy football) and text messaging. I also use the internet frequently off 3G throughout the day and usually have an app update or 2 and in the morning i use the fm radio for my 40 min walk with the dog and mp3's for another 30 min walk after work.. After all this i'm at 30% - 40% battery life. Also my charge time is up to 90% with only about a 45 min charge. Surrounds have 1500m batteries.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jake2046:
Android obvious has superior hardware...they needed it to run their laggy OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TOA Duck:
Samsung infuse with custom rom eaquals 10 -12 hours of battery life moderate usage and no lag. Its overclocked to 1.6 ghz also. I left wp7 2 months ago and feel free all of a sudden. I really was pulling for wp7 for a while but unfortunately its not gonna make it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the.rider1290:
Well, I was comparing two similar hardware phones (LG E900 with Nexus One); the have same CPU, RAM, DISPLAY and more or less, battery (50ma minus for the Nexus One).

I make exactly the same use of both phones, since my habits didn't changed in 3 months.

So yes, I will never come back to Android, for battery life, for reliability, for buggy OS, for smoothliness......
[Windows Phone 7 General] random_n:
I find the two day battery for the completely idle (all radios off) Focus to be a bit surprising. I had mine in a similar situation for a few days and all indications pointed to it lasting around a week. It's definitely short of my old Touch Pro 2's month of full idle, but it's an unrealistic test either way. And we'll see what the new firmware with the official Mango update brings to the table.

I'm a reasonably light phone user in general, and I have no real qualms with the battery life I get on the Focus... at least after setting the screen brightness to low. It's pretty obvious that the screen is going to be a huge power draw when having it on high with a light-coloured display for a few minutes makes the entire device hot. Another strong point is the consistency of the battery meter - my Blackberry could end a day with anywhere from 90% to 40% battery remaining on very similar cross-day usage profiles, while my Focus idles at a very predictable 1.5-2%/hr with 3G, one EAS push account, and The Weather Network's live tile.

For a full wake-to-sleep 18-20h day to rarely consume more than 50% battery is totally reasonable, especially when the device doesn't freeze, crash, lag, or generally spaz out without regular reboots unlike every other mobile I've owned.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
What hardware revision do you have, v1.3 or v1.4?
[Windows Phone 7 General] NotTarts:
I'm actually surprised at your battery life, MartyLK. My Samsung Omnia 7 (which I assume is the same as the Focus in terms of hardware) easily lasts a day and a half with all radios on, push email/notifications, and light usage (usually web browsing or videos). It seems strange that your Focus would only last 2 days when sitting completely idle.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
Yeah my HTC surround has a really small battery (1230mAh) and it lasts almost a full day with moderate usage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] davepermen:
wp7 might not have the best idle-time batterylife. but on moderate use, they last about as long.

and with mango, batterylife while using improved massively. can't wait for mango with actual updated device drivers. can't be long anymore.

omnia 7 here.

but in the end, nothing beats my dumpphone from nokia that i use at work. idle time of two to three weeks.

hope to see wp7 go more into that direction. instead of upping the performance (which is not needed), use the more efficient newer hardware for longer batterylife.

and yes, so far all friends who have a wp7 are very happy with it. except they still don't have mango, and have seen it on mine :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekhwani:
I think battery life is a useless topic, especially in Android. People used to flashing custom roms and kernels can never have same battery life on all roms or all the kernels and themes they are flashing.

Besides their are a lot of settings and culprit apps in Android which can eat away your battery if not recognized and managed.

So, battery life largely depends on user habits as well.

Just got my focus today. Have yet to see things in here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I have found it to be different, and I get side-by-side comparison because I have active SIMs in both my phones (Vibrant/HD7).

WP7 has ridiculously good idle battery life. Far exceeding my Vibrant. However, under moderate to heavy use the HD7 simply can't compare. The battery life differences are big enough that the battery sizes cannot be that big of a factor. I think the good idle time has to do with the fact that WP7 doesn't run 3rd party apps in the background like Android.

I have no issues leaving my HD7 off the charger overnight. My Vibrant... Well, that's simply required, IMO.

That being said, smartphones are all rather bad battery life. If you want days and days of use on a charge you need a feature or (correction) dumbphone. The more stuff you put on a smartphone, the worse your battery life gets.

The more smartphone OSes advance in capabilities far outpacing battery tech/sizes, the less benefits you gain.

That is why Android phones have relatively static battery life even when they increase battery sizes by 20%+. Yes, the battery is bigger, but it's only bigger because the OS/App capabilities demanded it. There really isn't a net gain from that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I am with n8ter on this one, the old days of going a week between charges on a nokia3310 are gone, if you have a smartphone be it android, IOS or wp7, expect to charge at least daily.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
And that problem will not change so soon. That is because we don't have a better alternative to Li-Ion. Even for electric cars the battery is the main issue. We really need a new and more efficient way of storing electricity but I fear this will take ages, if ever possible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Dilithium crystals, are they the answer?
