As long as the oil barons can't prosper off of any alternative energy source, it will never become viable. The mega hitters are the ones hindering all advancement in electrical storage tech. If an electrical storage tech comes along that provides those oil barons a filthy-rich source of income...like some property of the tech being native to only their country...then electrical storage tech will advance to viability.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xCTRL:
Why all the talk about battery life? If you want your phone to last a week with single charge, buy a dumbphone. They are called "smartphones" for a reason, to get information on the go, play games, listen to music, watch videos and call&text of course. Why bother saving your battery when you could just use it heavily during the day and charge it overnight while sleeping? My omnia7 lasts about 48h whit lots o surfing, listening to music etc. Of course it's idling while I sleep which is about 19h of those two days but still it will be alive...
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Yes, in Star Trek it is :D

That is sadly true
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I have to agree with N8ter & the other who have said it, if you want days/weeks on a single charge. Then, don't get a smartphone. Would be nice if some OEM's would add a decent solar panel to a smartphone though. Charging on the go when in the sun, but the good ones aren't cheap.

I have the Focus 1.3. It's a Rogers device, but running the AT&T ROM updated to the leaked 7720.68 build.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
You MUST wait retail update and retail firmware update for your device before putting reliable data on WP7, now you are running in an unreliable software situation
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongohjr:
my hd7 bl totally sucks... I use moderately and at most it can last for 8hrs... If I keep using it can only last for 3hrs + although the mango update did increase the bl...

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

true... But I don't see how it will improve significantly a hr more is what I hope for xD... It might be becoz of the high drainage of battery from my big but low resolution hd7... HTC should change to a better screen and processor for wp7... I think the new range of phones from HTC is much better juz by looking at the specs...
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
well, I have an optimus 7 and I can go through two days of normal usage.

HD7 has a insanely big screen, that thing drawn a lot of battery just because it's so big
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
You see, that's the difference. Mine is fully stock (NoDo and locked).

By the way, when I put my PC to sleep last night my Focus was fully charged...I sometimes connect it to my PC for charging and such and yesterday was no exception...waiting for Mango to occur. This morning...about 8 hours later... when I awoke, it shows about 70%.

Remember, mine has only the weather app syncing. All mail and FB sync manually. The WiFi is off and the data unconnected. It got zero usage while I was asleep. But it still managed to drop 30%.

EDIT - Oooops...I deleted the weather app. I didn't remember deleting it but I just looked, I was going to set it to manual or go ahead and delete it, and it isn't on my phone. So there are no apps automatically syncing on my Focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
Hmm... on the battery life topic... I think something is definitely amiss with MartyLK's Focus.

I have a Focus running Nodo (7392), and I believe firmware 1.3 (actual version says hardware revision is 3.1.0.7, firmware is 2124.10.12.2). This is a stock update from Telus/Rogers in Canada. I have 40% - 70% of my battery left at the end of my workday, where it's been off the charger for approximately 12 hours, with moderate usage, and WiFi and Bluetooth always on. I'm automatically updating the following:

8 accounts (1 IMAP that is the most active - 2 hour sync, 6 push accts, 1 FB)

3 news readers (set to refresh on launch; I normally open them 4-6 times a day)

1 weather app (Weatherbug)

I also do regular web browsing, music listening, calendar updates, etc.

Games and music via bluetooth will definitely drain the battery in a hurry, so I do have a spare battery, but I can count the times I've actually swapped it out on one hand in the last 6 months. I also don't plug in the phone anytime during the workday, so I'm not trickle-charging it while at the desk. I do have the theme set to dark, to maximize the battery life due to the SAMOLED screen. I've also noticed the following, as anecdotal observations:

- WiFi always on is much more battery efficient than cellular if you sync lots of data

- Cell signal strength is the biggest battery drainer (I work in basement, and the hit on my battery life is noticeable whenever I go to the completely shielded parts of the building at work for long periods of time)

- Lots of white background websites affect the battery enough to be noticeable if web browsing for more than an hour

The battery life on my Focus is substantially better than it was on my old TP2, and I generally don't worry about conserving battery life at all, unless I'm browsing the web for 4+ hours, streaming music via bluetooth for longer than 3+ hours, or playing games for a long period of time.

I'd wonder about either a problem with the software update that MartyLK is running (noticed that you'd reported elsewhere that AT&T had 7390, rather than 7392), or something about signal strength with your carrier. I'm also curious on whether AT&T pushed out a firmware update for the Focus around the time of your Nodo update, and if so, are you running firmware 2124.10.12.2?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The only non-stock apps on my Focus are games and the XDA app. Everything else is as it came from the store. And I didn't have the sim card in it...I do right now because of the update coming today. So AT&T's data signal wasn't doing anything with it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
Huh.... that's very strange then. Unless there is something about your MS OS update (7390) or hardware firmware revision that makes your WiFi signal notoriously inefficient. Which WiFi band are you using at your primary sync location (a/b/g/n), and which version of the firmware revision number does it list for you in Settings/About/More Info (2124.10.12.2, or something else)? I presume that you've already swapped the battery for another Galaxy S-variant battery in case the issue is a slightly defective battery?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I use G at my home. But the WiFi sleeps when the phone sleeps, which it was doing over the night. FWR = 2103.11.3.3.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
Yeah, and you already said that you have everything set to sync manually other than weather, so it's not your system waking up and syncing over WiFi a lot. OK, only real difference I see is that your firmware revision is older than mine... wonder what the difference is, and if that would make that much difference in general battery efficiency? If you don't even have your SIM in the device normally, I'd expect it to last a lot longer... wonder if there is some bug that keeps your cellular radio on and polling tower locations even if the SIM is missing, or something strange like that...
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Well, I plan to hang patient till the Mango update arrives and see if it fixes whatever is ailing this Focus. If it doesn't, to AT&T I go....after a full reset, of course.

By the way, I was wrong about the weather app. I forgot about deleting it. I was going to set it to manual or delete it this morning but couldn't find it. So I apparently deleted it along with every other app that needs syncing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Travis16248:
yea i cant wait for this update

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearkillerr:
Hey guys, I just got a new Inspire 4G AT&T Branded and Debranded it and flashed ARHD6.1.1 and everything is super smooth and good.. I got one question. what is the meaning of 4GB internal memory if u only get 1.1GB after flashing a software? I have googled a bit and couldnt find a good answer. even 4EXT recovery doesnt show 4GB in system.... is it a scam? plz i need help :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
4G total, but system uses most, so that's why only 1.1 available to use. I for one wish they would just state what is usable. I don't care about the amount I can't use.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
the Internal 4gb that AT&T refers to is actually the 4gb class 4 micro sd that comes pre installed in the phone when you purchase it..... the phone itself is the same as your run of the mill Desire HD's (including the telus ones) but with a different audio codec, and the housing has an at&t symbol on the back rather than "HTC".

in actuality, its only 1.5gb of space on the phone which is all the system apps to be installed on, and other apps you install off the market. (That 1.1gb you see is the data partition on that 1.5gb of solid state space)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearkillerr:
Thanks guys for the info, but it came with 8GB card and i believe it has a second microphone close to the Camera, which i didnt have on my DHD. Also some people says the other 3GBs are used by system for speed purpose like L2/L3 cache, but its just a theory and i m not good at these stuff, thx anyway :)
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
Hey Guys!

Any help will do!

Installed Voidu S 1.1a ROM on my DS, works perfectly, smooth transitions etc.. BUT!!!

When I tried to install any app from new android market it says:

"Error Downloading <app-name>. There is insufficient space on the device."

Tried to reflash twice already!!! The same problem...

Tried to unmount SD and install then... no luck :(

Clearing Apps Cache won't help :(

Clean install with formated mSD....

Anyone with similar problem???

BTW, Virtuous Unity 2.37 ROM market works just fine!!! Flashed and tried!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Been running v1.1a myself since this afternoon when it was released, no such problems here, in fact just loaded market picket random app, download, installed and ran it to test theory.

Have you tried de-installing market and then re-installing.

Sorry.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No problems here.

If you want, try downgrading to the old market. I have a zip for it.

It is much faster and more reliable than 3.0 market.
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
Still Nothing :(

Still nothing guys....

Downgraded to Old market, tried to download but it won't even give me an error this time, just turns off the download.

... Thanks for the effort. I am out of ideas! :(

Will try tomorrow... going to bed!!!
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Using Voidu S 1.1a ROM with stock kernel and market is working fine. Just d/l and installed a data monitor.
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
During the day tried several ROMs:

- CoreDroid Desire S GB 2.3.3 V1.3

- Desires S Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 v1.2

- Virtuous Unity 2.37 Sense 3.0

- Doubleshot S v1.2

.... and now trying to install BeatMod v2.5 Flyer Sense

Android market works perfectly in all of them!!!!

... after that I will again re-flash to Voidu S 1.1a and see if it works! ;)

thanks everyone!
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
It's a mystery!

Mysteriously after 5 re-flashes Voidu S seems to work now, market loads and downloads apps with no error. :p :D

Don't know how this happened, so don't ask!

Case closed!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Very glad to hear it :) as it's a great ROM, I'd suspect it had nothing to do with you or the ROM and more likely something out of your control like Google that was at fault....yer...blame them! ;)
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
I would not be so hasty my friend.... Yes this problem is solved, but another sprang up. :(((

Now if I download more than one app AT ONCE from market the system/phone just hangs/freezes and nothing happens... after that reboot by pulling out the battery...

That is very unpleasant....

Will go for Virtuous Unity for now... This one is very RAW. Need to wait!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm afraid that this sound more like a device issue than a ROM one.

You shouldn't pull battery - read my signature!
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
It was not doing such things on my stock rom!!! so what's the real problem here!!!

Going for virtuous unity and will check if it works there!!!!

Though, could it be stock kernel I wonder??

I know that battery pulling is bad, have no time to install Android SDK (that is what needed for that, right?)...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You don't need to install A SDK just extract the files in my sig, takes two minutes.... And you'll regreat not spending those two minutes if you were to fry your device.

It could be related to the version of the market that you're using.
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
Don't know about version of the market... I don't think this is an issue!!!

Virtuous unity was not so smooth as I suspected :(, Voidu S was VERY fast though, good job ;)

Flashed to CoreDroid latest... fast and smooth work.... installed 30+ apps from new market one after one and NO PROBLEMS!!!!

Still I don't understand what is the problem with Voidu S ROM on my DS....
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I suggest that you read this thread [GUIDE] Basic Tips to avoid Bricking your phone
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
Thank you! Will take that into consideration! However, I have several questions:

Do those recommentations apply for stock rom with S-ON as well?

If I brick my phone by installing apps from the market, will I retain my warranty?

Otherwise it sucks knowing that you can brick your phone simply by using market! :(
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes, the recommendations apply to everyone, with the specific eMMC chip type.

Warranty would cover fix.

Yes you're right though it does suck.
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
This seems to be a very inconsistent problem with only some users, my phones market when updating, downloads & installs apps one by one automatically, never does it install or download more than one app at a time...... strange

use Samsung Galaxy SII

I have the full version of LauncherPro Plus. I have problems to view wallpaper to be showing right.

In the program I have chosen to have 4 screens, and when I put a new wallpaper in which the size 480x800, the image is be showing very big and go over all 4 screens. How do I get my picture to fit in size, so the entire image is displayed and only on one screen?

Se my attach :

Link to my original wallpaper image - full size: http://gupl.dk/66057/

Link to how it be shown on my phone: http://gupl.dk/66056/

Can I put other pictures on the other screens so that all screens are different?

Where is some good places to download icons to LauncherPro Plus?
[Android Apps and Games] Ibanez33:
I'd take a guess that launcher pro is sizing it to scroll with your home screens.

if you go under preferences, Appearance setting and tick the box to disable wallpaper scrolling.

Then try and set your wallpaper again..
[Android Apps and Games] Dirk:
Wallpapers should be 960x800 by default. I hear that there are apps that will allow setting a picture 480x800 as a Wallpaper, but i don't know the names or whether they allow you to set differerent Wallpapers for each homescreen.

You can find a thousand Icon Packs here on the forums:

Hay Guys.

Here are some Screenshots from my SGS II running stock KF3.

Battery is lasting much longer than on any tested Custom Rom.

I used the phone mostly for Browsing and SMS while my girlfriend was playing for around an hour :-) .. I also watched Youtube Videos and listened to music. Everything is @ stock.

12h with 4h screen on? That doesn't sound so great to me... Right now I'm running 2.3.5 (previously kh3 with nimpho 2.1.3) and cpu at 800 max and I used to get about 2 - 2,5 days on a charge...
[Galaxy S II General] Skyline92:
I also get more than 2 days with one charge.

But I don't get more than 4 hours of screen usage @ custom roms.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAMA0707:
Hello,

yesterday i tried to root my Desire, but i forgot to remove HTCsync, now the phone boots sometimes untill screenlock/pincode. then the phone resets itself, and just vibrates 7 times and boots/reset for aprox 3 or 4 times then it dies.

unrevoked worked fine until it was waiting for a reboot it never installed clockworkmod so i dont have a clue how to fix it, i tried to flash PB99IMG from different stock roms, the Desire was simlock free, but now it tells me wrong CID,

now i have:

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.02.0001

MICROP-031d

TOUCHPANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

Jul 22 2011,16:19:16

So i can go in to the first stage of recovery, (vol down plus powerbutton) but when i want to continue to RECOVERY the phone gets stuck in the white screen wit HTC logo and thats it.

thanks in advance,

best regards,

Marcel
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iain2510:
Search for a user called 'bortak' and look for his troubleshooting guide, it should give you enough info to get your phone working again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
It sounds to me like you should have read and learned more before you did this. If you can press volume down + power and you get the Clockworkmod Recovery then you can stop worrying. Plug the phone into the PC via USB cable and then using the trackball or the volume +/- buttons scroll down to 'Mounts and storage' then press either the trackball or power button to select. Once there scroll to the bottom option, 'Mount USB storage'. Your PC will hopefully recognise it as a disk drive now.

Now go pick any ROM that will work with a stock hboot, they will quite clearly say 'stock'. I personally use LeeDroid 3.3.3 HD wotsit, Apps2SD. Runs well, battery life is good but don't feel that you have to copy my choice, any ROM with a 'stock' version will work.

Download it and copy it across to your phones SD card - you did remember to connect the phone as I detailed above right?

Ok, once done press the back button on the phone, press back again to get to the main menu then select factory reset, then wipe cache then select 'Advanced' and wipe Dalvik cache. Press back, install zip from SD card, select the file that you copied to it, let it do its stuff and click reboot when prompted.

Hopefully, you'll have a working phone. :)

A couple of caveats though :-

1) You will lose all apps and data and have to start afresh

2) You will lose all contacts and messages (unless already backed up to Google)

3) I am assuming that you have created an EXT partition on your SD card. If not then you have REALLY jumped into this too fast!

And finally, don't try flashing different hboots via the pb99.img method until you have a clue what you're doing.

Good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAMA0707:
Hi there thanks for the quick reply,

the problem is i can get in to fastboot, but when i try to go in to recovery the phone stays stuck in the white screen with the htc logo and thats it.

i already rooted a different desire and that went smooth. no probs what so ever.

So i repeated the same steps on this desire and everything went exactly the opposite

way that it should have been.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
Volume down + Power on is not fastboot, that's recovery.

I'm out anyway, all of the answers are available.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You have to create a goldcard:

http://android.modaco.com/topic/308798-pc-application-goldcardtool/

You can this with another working desire as well, because goldcard is only connected to goldcard and has nothing to with the phone.

When done, put this in your desire and then flash ruu via PB99IMG.zip file again. The goldcard will avoid CID error.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAMA0707:
will it work if i use my Legend for making the goldcard?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:

UDPATE: 25Sept11 I've just finished up a port and addition to Pandroid's DropTheme in White for Froyo and Gingerbread MDPI Dream/Sapphire and Nook! Screenshots are attached below. Download and instructions can be found at www.sisterbird.com/android-themes

WANTED: Someone willing to convert my Nook Color themes to CM7 format. That is simply beyond my forte and something I don't enjoy. PM me, please!

I've begun adding themes for the Nook Color to my collection of MDPI themes. The Nook Color is a bit of a weird one. It has an MDPI framework base, but uses HDPI notification icons. That is why stock MDPI CM7 themes look fuzzy. Stock themes also do not include the Nook System UI soft buttons either. Each has been set up as a Metamorph base for Gingerbread and for Froyo. Thanks to kellinwood for the ZipThemer app on the Market, you can create a flashable zip on your phone or Nook for whatever Gingerbread or Froyo ROM you are running.
