...TROGDOR!!

Ugh, well I am sloooowwwllly but surely working on stuff to try and relieve battery woes but, been busy past few days so nothing is really getting anywhere. Also I just don't see the point of hurrying up to release yet another stock based rom. You can only do so much with stock based until finally it is nothing but theming. I may release a barebones stock based rom in hopes to get rid of some battery vampires in the system.

Battery Vampires... I like it, last night I came up with my new band name... Steam Engine Time Train... we're gonna be famous...
[LG Thrill 4G] Tyqar:
If 15 hours is high comparatively, I should just stop *****ing until GB comes out, yeah?

I have an extended battery on its way, and will see what my battery life turns out to be.

Gotta understand though, I have light to medium usage, I'm in school or work 8+ hours a day, and not touching my phone during those hours.

Is that the norm(or better?) for that type of usage?
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
That's really good. My coworker has a thrill for her company device, and it will almost die in her purse before her shift is over, and she never touches it.
[LG Thrill 4G] TylDurden:
That's your sync and internet usage, Juice Defender did the trick for me. I hit "advanced" and left it at default settings. Sync pings every 15 minutes, juice defender shuts off internet outside of that ping and the screen being on so your phone isn't running rampant in "partial wake" status. Also without Juice Defender all that keeps your phone from sleeping and your "suspend" is probably winding up trying to put it to sleep while all this is going on. Juice Defender will do wonders for all this.

EDIT:

Mine lasts 20+ easily with moderate use. Juice Defender.
[LG Thrill 4G] Tyqar:
I will get this Juice Defender and post results after tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbemowsk:
OK, so a few days ago I had my Nexus S in my hand when it was off and I ended up holding some keys and I got some kind of message asking if I wanted to unlock my bootloader. I really wish I had written down the entire message, but I wasn't in a place where I could write it down. Now I am not talking about the fastboot mode bootloader screen that you get when holding the volume up and power buttons, I believe there was just a couple lines of blue text with the message. Unfortunately I was somewhere where I couldn't deal with the situation right away and needed my phone, so I cancelled out of it and rebooted the phone figuring I could figure out the key sequence later, but do you think I could repeat it....NOPE... I read in the forums that in order to unlock the bootloader, you need to download and run fastboot unlock while plugged in via USB, but is anyone aware of such an unpublished key sequence that would allow you to do it directly from the phone?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMan459:
The only possibly thing that I could think would make this happen is the NFC chip reacting to something, possibly those keys. But, I would certainly assume that the bootloader has no idea that a NFC chip even exists. Amy truths to this?

Edit: After taking another glance I see you mean keys on the phone, not actual keys keys. Still strange though...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbemowsk:
I just thought that maybe this was some unpublished way to unlock the bootloader. If I ever happen to figure this out, I am DEFINITELY posting it here for all.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboi_zero:
I bought this phone, used, earlier this week. It was on the official GB update. So I downgraded to 2.2 and did the whole permroot and s-off procedure and loaded MIUI on it, which has been splendid the past few days.

But now the phone won't turn on. I replaced the beat screen protector with a new one from ebay, stealth shieldz from Prestige Solutions. It is a liquid solution screen protector. Anyway, I always turned my phones off prior to installation, keeping the battery in. I have never had a problem. But now with my MT4G, it won't turn on. It did turn on by accident and I pulled the battery out until I was finished with installation. Now it won't turn on.

I've read of bad emm (or whatever it is) chips. I read multiple solutions before posting. But what makes mine a different case is that the phone flashes black everytime I push the power button, or when I plug in the charger, sometimes staying black until I pull it out. I don't see any orange leds that indicate the phone may be bricked. Though, at this point, this case seems worse.

Any idea what the issue may be?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DistrictDigital:
Sounds bricked to me. Call HTC and possibly get a replacement for the bad eMMC chip.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboi_zero:
It's funny. I went to the tmo store and they told me it was water damaged, using another battery. Plus, they said the water damage indicator on the phone was peeled off. So I go home and file an insurance claim. I now am expecting the refurbished replacement tomorrow.

Tell me why after I make the claim, like right after, the phone starts working? I don't regret making the claim because $130 for factory refurbished beats $180 and up for unknown Craigslist. And this phone is still water damaged and can die at any given moment. Already turned off once.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tageeboy:
I am having a similar issue after a 2 foot drop of the phone. No physical damage on the outside but not sure about the internals. is there a way to start troubleshooting this issue and seeing what i can do to repair? I am so lost right now since this is the first major issue I have had iwth this phone. Since I can not get a screen and the boot into recovery via volume down and power is not working I am not sure what ican do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixa241:
It is most likely bricked. same thing happened to my girls. She dropped it and bricked..mine just bricked last week out of nowhere to....got replacement now....both had bad hips...new ones has good chip but bad screen

Does anyone know what else I can try to get to download screen to update the rom back to stock again?

I was using a Stock GB Rom that was posted in the Stock Rom forum.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Use that screen as a download screen. It will work.

Thanks for the help, that screen worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tackleberry:
I did, just wondering what screen looks better to you?

I think the G2x is a little more vivid with the colors it seems like, this phone does not seem very bright in comparison and outdoor viewing is not totally bad but better on the LG. screen size tho is a great trade off lol.

what do you think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I think you may have gotten a bad galaxy s 2 if you think the colors on a LCD are more vivid than a s-amoled + screen :eek:

Just my 2¢.

-Hercules grabbed my post, and threw it at your face to be read-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasontx:
I agree, when outside if I crank my brightness to max this display is beautiful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it doesn't even need to be in the max

60% is enough to make it very crispy and easily readable under direct sunlight

main reason why i would never buy another cell phone without SAMOLED+ display
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PikkonX:
I got rid of my G2x for this and I think the SGS2 has a faaaarr better screen. Haven't had a chance to use it outside much, but when I have, the brightness was fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tackleberry:
damn, mine looks dull...unless there is some setting im missing? brightness wise im not impressed, the G2x IPS display is better (at least on my end it seems that way) not saying its awful but i got it cranked to full and it still seems "dull" in comparison
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Aaron636r:
Far better than my G2X
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tackleberry:
ill be a hair more specific here, say looking at facebook, a white background, seems grayish dulled out, and on the G2x its like bright white, otherwise its pretty bright, it just seems as if the whites are grayish a tad, like 10-15% gray if that makes anysense?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Turn the auto brightness off and set the brightness to 35-50%.

Been out to play with it - going to get mine from amazon on the 19th if sammy's press conference doesnt pan out to a "nexus galaxy"

Miss my 3g Vibrant SOOOO much, loved the hell out of that screen - till an errant drop cracked the heck out of it, and i was left with this rebooting, GPS loosing, freezing POS.

(vibrant had plenty o' problems, but the grass is always greener isnt it.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] barondebxl:
Wow my brightness level is always at 0% and I can see it clearly in direct sunlight no kidding. My sensation had to be at full brightness. If I turn the brightness on a 100% on the SGSII it's a like a freaking lightbulb in your face it's soo bright.

I'll be here shortly 2weeks, keeping my g2x too tho still one of the baddest, it will be my backup **** when ur getting quadrant scores of over 5300 oc to 1.5 that's the **** can't wait till the gs2 is converted to ext4 for way better quadrant scores, specifically I/o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] makomek:
I using the G2x and sometime the sensation for fun, yesterday I was playing with the SG2 at the Sprint store and I can tell you that G2x is the most vibrant screen color out of the the 3. I know for sure the G2x screen is better then the HTC QHD,

when I compare with the GS2 had is a tad dull.I don't why G2x has LCD and look alot better the QHD crap .

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
I'm thinking about it, just waiting on the Prime announcement and also keeping an eye out on development for this phone.

To the ones that have ...

Is it worth the upgrade?

I've played around with one at the store, but its not the same as owning one. And since there is a $50 restocking fee, I don't want to buy and then change my mind.

Also I'm curious as to how long it will take to update to ICS. I've also own the Vibrant and some know how that went.

im loving this phone, speed is nice...once root comes ill be 100% satisfied!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bighulk666:
This phone bends the G2X over and donkey punches it. I always had to fight the urge to throw the thing out my car window.

The display on my sgs2 is amazing, bigger, IMO clearer. I just downloaded Asphalt and it plays just as smooth, if not better, as my g2x did.

GPS is amazing on the sgs2. It was an absolute fail on the g2x. This was my biggest problem with it.

So long g2x. I hope the old Asian guy I sold it too ends up smashing it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
I did and plan to stick with the SII. Maybe I'm just blind but the g2x screen was way too small; especially as a GPS. Also, the bugs like needing a hard restart because data would drop out 5 times a day, random reboots, and random poor reception. LG also did a terrible job supporting/updating the phone...
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Has anyone realized this or is it just me, every sense 3.5 that I've tried the battery indicator is incorrect.

For example, I just had 41% battery life before resetting my phone and now I have only 4%. Is it not charging the battery correctly? I also turn the phone off after it says 100% and then charge until the green led comes on but still it is either draining too fast and phone doesn't detect it until a reset or the battery isn't be charged completely because the rom thinks it's 100. I have caliibrated and erased the batterystats.bin file so many times and it's still the same. any insight on this? I have a brand new battery from htc as well.
[HTC Sensation] dunbar28205:
Same problem :confused:
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Constantly "calibrating" or deleting the battery stats is the exact reason this happens. You dont have to do that, regardless of what people say.

This will happen until the battery has been charged/discharged a few times and will slowly stop happening.
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
No issue here, got my new anker battery.. Flashed BP 2.1.5 and since then, my battery has been normal and amazing!
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
This. When I flash ROMs I don't really do anything in relation to the battery. I just use my phone like normal. The first day or two you might get a little more drain than usual, but after that it will be completely normal and you don't have to do anything like wipe battery stats or calibrate or run it down to 5% and charge it all the way up or whatever.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Yes, constantly resetting battery stats is bad. Should only occur right after flashing the new ROM. Ideally you'll have charged your phone to 100%, flashed the new ROM, and immediately putting it through 5 discharge/charge cycles.

My battery life was horrendous when I didn't properly calibrate the battery. Going through the process now and its lasting a significantly longer time compared to not going through the process. I'm talking about getting like 6 hours of light usage compared to like 15.

Or it could be just ARHD. I really didn't like that ROM. Anyways, I'm running Bulletproof 2.1.5 with 3.5 Sense on an Anker battery and its doing great.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] whynot66:
+ 1 my battery was shocking, im on my second full cycle currently at 2% lol and already i've noticed improvements by like 20%
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I've done everything, calibrated the battery numerous times with and without wiping the batterystats.bin and it's still acting up. Say this morning I wake up, take the phone off charge at 100%, go out, and restart the phone for any reason when the phone's battery meter is at 95%, after the restart the meter will jump down to 70%.

This is with a new battery, new rom, totally wiped device, I even used the ruu to get me back to the stock rom.

Anyone have any idea what's the problem? The battery life is ****, and doesn't seem to get any better with calibration.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
This is your culprit. Let it bed in a few days, and performance should stabilize.

Go through 5 full charges/discharges, uninterrupted. Yes, it's a pain in the ass, but you signed up for it when you flashed a new ROM.

Everytime you wipe your battery stats, you have to go through the 5 cycle process again. Uninterrupted.

EDIT: Had a lil too much rum and misspelled a few words. I even misspelled mispelled
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Alright dude, I'm going to take you up on your word, I'll give you another update within 5 days.
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
This is a problem with all Sensation ROMs, even with S-On and Stock ROMs. I get a problem like this one too. If I have 60% left, and I restart the phone, it goes up to 69% and I don't know why. Also very slow charging from the original wall charger, but if I reboot when it's charging at 70-75%, when it finally boots, it says 100% charge. This must be some bug from HTC or something. :S
[HTC Sensation] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Same problem (with Sense 3.0/Sence 3.5 and different ROM),but is there a fix for that?

I saw this:

Probably a way to fix the issue?

Should be asked about this in the ROM thread?
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Me too same bug since first day, I think it's a battery sensor fault
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
It's not a hardware fault...it's not a battery fault...it *may* be a ROM/kernel issue...but I suggest you give your battery a few discharge/charge cycles and you'll see it should go back to normal.

I had the epic a few days ago and it was super smooth and handled everything well, but I still like Sense and the color accuracy of my (release day) 3d. Even when screen in movie mode the Epic touch still looked cartoonish and just didnt have that classy look that sense has. And overclocking my 3d makes its just as smooth but there is still some slight choppiness in some scrolling like app drawer. But not enough to make me leave it for the epic.
