[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surveysays:
Modern phones with Lithium-ion battery use a different charging method compared to the older phone to reduce the damage on the battery during charging. The time at which the battery stays at [maximum charge] should be as short as possible. Prolonged high voltage promotes corrosion, especially at elevated temperatures. Lithium-ion does not need to be fully charged; a partial charge is better because high voltages stresses the battery. Avoiding full charge has benefits, and some manufacturers set the charge threshold lower on purpose to prolong battery life <<<--- which is what Google has done for the Nexus S , enjoy

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtoysrock:
100% correct! However, I have been keeping my eye on it when it says 100% but it is not actually 100%. As it does not peak out and when it does reach that 100% it is only pushing 2-6ma. So in my mind its not pushing damaging numbers but it is holding it at a high level. The damage takes some time to occur but in the long run it will hurt your battery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
Yes, and "the long run" is a very long time. Unless you plan on using the same battery and phone for the next ten years, you are highly unlikely to notice any degradation in the battery health. I have been using one of my OEM Samsung Nexus batteries for 2 years now (it is the same battery that came with my Samsung Moment and used on an Instinct HD as well). This particular battery has been topped off on all three phones and external chargers probably 100's of times. It still charges to a full 4.19v and stays full even sitting on my nightstand for a week or two.

The "Safety mechanism" in the charging code that has been brought up over and over again is included in all Android phones. It is nothing new. The problem is that in other devices, the battery meter reads 100% when it reaches the safe full level at the batteries temperature (usually between 4.188 and 4.190). The Nexus S has an error in the driver code that causes the meter to read inaccurately(95-98%) even when the voltage reaches 4.19. I don't believe Google did this intentionally, as it would cause many misinformed people to constantly bump charge their batteries in hopes of reaching 100%. It would have made more sense to have the meter read 100% at the safe full level.

In any event, the fix for the issue is here, and already being applied to some Nexus S kernels-

but still no more than 96% since i opened it brand new... :( ......
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heretic Infidel:
If you want to get a 100% charge get NSTools en set charging to 100. The only thiing you'll be doing is killing your battery faster as the 96% charge is a safety feature to let your battery last longer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidfreak007:
I'm getting 100% now with Franco kernel and i don't believe that BS about saving the battery either. If it was intentional Google would have hidden this "feature" while still letting the phone show 100% charge.

I used to get 100% on my captivate all the time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnaurittiello:
With CyanogenMod 7.1.0 I always get 100% now. With stock rom (2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.6) never reached more than 96-97%.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explorer-10:
lowest full charge i got was 95% and highest was like 97-98%. just yesterday, i got 99% and then it hit 100% for the first time and was kinda surprised[in a bad/good/so so way] and a bit worried, since i usually expect a 90s percentile charge. but in a way, i feel like the higher the 90s percentile without reaching 100% would make the phone's uptime longer. ever since reaching the high 90s with juice defender installed, i got battery improvement of x2.0+ most of the time, even up til now, it's probably at x2.10

[HTC Incredible S] LOSTLOGIC89:
Is it possible to make s- off with hboot 1.16 with 2.3.3 STOCK OPTUS ROM?

If so, can anyone link me to a proper guide?

I searched and found contradictions, some say yes, some say no....
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
There is no current method available to truly gain S-OFF status with HBOOT 1.16. However, that being said, you can use the HTCDEV site to unlock HBOOT 1.16 so that you can flash a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod and then flash a custom ROM. The thing to keep in mind with this solution is after you flash the custom ROM you will probably have to manually flash the boot.img file from the custom ROM using 'fastboot flash boot [path to image file]\boot.img'

There is also some thread posts about downgrading HBOOT 1.16 to HBOOT 1.13 and then you can use Revolutionary to get a true S-OFF HBOOT.
[HTC Incredible S] LOSTLOGIC89:
I see, i will give it a try .

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] LOSTLOGIC89:
i unlocked my hboot 1.16 with htc dev and downloaded 4ext recovery. How can i flash it ?

EDIT: Never mind, i found out how.

So basicly now i can flash any rom i want ?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Unzip the EXT4.zip file and extract the recovery.img file to your PC. Then with your phone connect to the PC in FASTBOOT mode, type the following command:

fastboot flash recovery [path to your image file]\recovery.img

The command window on your PC should have the working directory set to where you have installed the Android SDK tools with adb.exe and fastboot.exe.
[HTC Incredible S] LOSTLOGIC89:
Ok i have it installed.

The problem now is i wiped and installed a custum rom (bliss with sense 3.5) and got a stock on htc then tried to go on fastboot usb then flash the img file and still stock at htc. Any ideas?

Edit: never mind forgot to wipe boot.works like a charm thanks again .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marrrrrrr:
Hello all,

I'm on three uk and updated to 2.3.5 via Kies yesterday. All fine, a definite improvement to 2.3.4.

But there is a problem, when i go to portable hotspot settings the Network SSID has been reset as 'AndroidAP' and the password is something random.

I can change it, but it doesn't stick. Sometimes it will persist for that 'session' but after i close and exit the hotspot configuration it will get reset back to AndroidAP.

I've noticed a few other people have this problem, it seems to be caused by the permissions getting messed up on the /data/misc/wifi/softap.conf file (as seen http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301996).

what i want to know, is there *any* way i can reset the permissions on this file or fix this problem without performing a factory reset or by rooting my phone? the feature still works, but it's really, really, annoying as i use it quite a lot.

is there any way i access this file via the sdk or in debug mode without rooting my phone?

please help!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrydaeXIII:
Hi guys, I've got a few questions regarding flashing a radio which I could not seem to find answers about in the forum. I've noticed quite a drastic drop in signal strength in my phone after the latest cyanogenmod 7 update and my GPS stopped working too. So here I go

1) Does my country and carrier affect the effects of flashing a new radio? (I'm from singapore and using Singtel BTW)

2) Will doing a nandroid backup and restoring undo the flashing of radio in case something goes wrong?

3) Does the radio also affect Wifi-tether? Cos it stopped working too (It keeps saying error), so if it I flash a new radio will it be fixed? if not can anyone tell me a solution to this tether problem?

Thanks for reading :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
1) As long as you are using an HTC Wildfire A3333 GSM device, you should be good to go. You can check your existing radio version under Settings > About Phone > Baseband Version, and compare it to the one's available, just to cross check.

2) No. Nandroid's do not touch the radio

3) It may, although I am not too sure of this. It may be something else that is causing the issue, but, your GPS issue will definitely be fixed after reflashing the radio.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDN93:
Another radio question, I'm also trying to download the latest radio from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads to solve GPS issues using CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 and the error is

I have no idea what to do with that...how can I apply the ZIP update and flash the radio? Sorry, noob question :) thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Flash this attachment in CWM5.0.2.0, it will give you temporary CWM 2.5.0.7, then flash the radio as normal.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDN93:
Thanks so much! The CWM should reset to 5.x after the radio flash right?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Yes, once you reboot, you will regain 5.0.2.0. The 2.5.0.7 version in this case is temporary, and is called "Fake Flash"
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrydaeXIII:
How do i confirm that my wildfire is "HTC Wildfire A3333 GSM device" or this is the model everyone gets?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Check under the battery where the device IMEI and serial are printed. The model is printed on the first line there.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDN93:
Thanks for the help, got into CWM 2.5 and flashed the ZIP, it said install successful reboot to complete, so I did, but checking "about phone" shows the basband as 3.35.20.10 still, instead of the 3.35.15.31 which I tried to flash...any ideas?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrydaeXIII:
Ok, I've flashed a new radio and the GPS is working now (but I doubt it was even spoilt in the first place since the icon only showed up when I'm at the Maps app) but the Wifi tether isn't, is there any fix for this or should I start a new thread cos I couldn't find a solution to this on the forum too

Hi, I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 with WinMobile 6.1 on it.

First, I wanted to upgrade to WinMobile 6.5 but couldn't find the upgrade file on the HTC website, so I gave up - could anybody help me with that?

Second, I came to the UK a month ago to study and got an o2 pay&go text&web SIM. I received the settings from o2, they installed themselves automatically but the HTC after dialing wap.o2.co.uk can't connect. I brought it to an o2 shop but they were no help and told me to post my problem in here. I think I have all the needed data(ports, user names, passwords, proxy IP etc)

Today I have an anouncement.

I will be doing all MIUI development for the X, D2 and D2G. Also, I will be making an update for my barebones CM rom once a month from here on out. Lastly, I will be working on an Ice Cream Sandwich rom from the SDK later this week to have something ready for when source drops. As for my Milestone 2 rom, I am probably going to release what I have and see if someone else can figure out how to get data working with it. I do not have a job where I can constantly be SBF'ing my phone anymore and that rom was the fastest way to break the phone. I still am planning on working on a sense port but that will be far down the road after ICS is out.

Secondly, Since I am working on so many devices right now, expect delays to be there but things still coming out at least. I am taking donations to get my thinkpad working again (since it got killed) that way I can have 2 dev machines. Any phones I can get will help too. Whether it be an X, D2G or D2. Simply put, I don't have enough hardware right now to crank them out very fast and I am asking for donations to expedite releases. I am posting this in the X forum since I will be developing for that device now.

I appreciate anything you guys have given to me before (you guys kept me afloat during my unemployment). I look forward to be doing more releases, but if you guys have anything left to give... It will make this much faster for me. Developing with my phone I use has just become almost out of the question.

Edit: ICS will be my primary rom in development until we get it running. Once DXC does his last release I will be doing just maitenence releases for MIUI.

Thoughts? Lot of wasted dead space between the buttons as well as failure to register presses seems to be a problem common to smaller-screen androids. Rather silly to have the phone vibrate because it registers you touched a button, but the button click doesn't actually happen-- ie you don't return to home screen, don't actually go "back", etc...

Is this something we could change?

Hello friends!

I am using a SGS I9003 since the last 6 months and still love it. One of my friend recently brought a SGS I9000 and he wants to sell it as it hangs very often. The firmware version is 2.3.3, Baseband version is I9000DDJV4.

As I too am looking to buy the same, I thought to grab this deal but now I am in doubt as to why this is happening and should I buy a I9003 or a I9000.

The display is also gives a little greenish tinch.

Is all this normal? Is there a way to stop this freezing problem? Will loading the latest ROM or a custom ROM solve this problem?

Kindly advice...

Hey,

I can only say you, that im very happy with my i9000. It doesnt hang up often. But I also heard from a friend, who has got an i9000 that his one, hangs sometimes. But I guess it depends on the rom that you installed.

Also you can use a colorfix and/or another kernel, that improves the colors of the display.

Kind regards
