[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Stennan:
I don't have clue about what this high resolution setting means, but it sounds like huawei realized that putting a full res screen on a 7 inch tab means that the stock honeycomb icons and widgets get kind of small. Reducing the number of rows and columns means larger icons and easier to red text plus the cpu/gpu is taxed less (Huawei source via cnet in the battery section) So maybe the tablet still runs in native resolution, but icons/widgets in the launcher and maybe other programs like the browser gets scaled up in order to provide a similar experience as other larger tabs?

Any euros got previous tablet experience and the mediapad? Does the launcher change as above and are other apps effected?

for everybody with this version, it s working :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] knoxjon:
So just to be clear: we still have no root on t-mo, right? Anybody have any leads?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MugenMad:

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Jake.13:
Unless trading 4G for 3G + voice/text + no bloat ware + additional widget space makes sense to you. I think it does to me.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] knoxjon:
I wasn't clear on that, actually. Users who have done that switch did get root but haven't been able to get back their 4g? I got the impression that they didn't get root or 4g.

That might make sense to me, too, since I wasn't planning on buying data anyway. Was still pondering it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tedbone:
I went from T-Mo springboard to Hauwei firmware upgrade - not a root (or at least I'm 99% sure it isn't).

CONS:

I no longer have 4G (3G signal seems piss-poor).

I do have a phone app, but can't make or receive calls.

PROS:

I have a phone app that lets me send/receive text messages

I can adjust to a higher screen resolution (allowing for more widgets per screen

No longer have that annoying T-Mo startup animation and sound. (The boot-up time still takes as long as it used to).

I would love to root my (now) MediaPad, but need thbe complete dumb-a$$ explanation of how to do it with a PC (not linux).

yes the 16gb storage is still available plus i havent tried 1click and mines is now mediapad instead of tmo springboard with no root!!

will this version root my mines i flashed my sb to mediapad confused :confused:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
Yap, only thing you have to do is install Superuser and Busybox from Market and copy "su" from /hwcust/oversea_hk/preload/fixed/bin/ to /system/xbin (e.g. with ES File Explorer with root and r/w enabled), and you are ready to go :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] knoxjon:
does the mediapad see the internal memory as an sd card like the springpad does?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
internal storage is mounted as /sdcard and external storage ("real" sdcard) is mounted as /mnt/external

Are These Two Different Roms!!!

S7-301u V100R001C232B012(General version)

2011-11-26

S7-301u V100R001C232B012(Root_version)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
The General Version is the official one from Huawei, the Root Version is, like its name says, the pre-rooted, modified version. The root version also supports Telephony and SMS/MMS. Besides that, there are no differences.

Telephony and SMS/MMS Support can be enabled/disabled with a change in an XML-File. So it's no "Voodoo". ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] knoxjon:
I wonder if that's why superoneclick can't root it, since the two aren't exactly the same. And it seems like it tries to mount the internal memory sd when I connect to the computer even if I don't tell it to do MTP mode.

I tried to get superoneclick to work on my linux computer, but I haven't had the time to dig into how to install mono, etc.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] studiozeroseven:
You know if anybody has tried this on a sb
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] studiozeroseven:

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
The only thing that has been changed in comparison to the official update is, that the cust.img.ext4 has been extracted, su-binary has been added, and that it has been packed again. It's the official Update + su-binary. :)

Any suggestions? The Android System is taking up most of my cycles, but when I go into it, it shows that the phone is barely kept alive.

I don't know what else to do.
[Epic 4G General] eheaps:
Having the exact same issue.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Try one day using nothing but 3G, you may be surprised at your battery life.

I'm still on Froyo, and since that was released (stock or custom rom doesn't matter) my battery life takes a nose dive with Wifi.

Back on Eclair, Wifi was my battery life saver. Now with Froyo, 3G is my life saver. Weird stuff.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Problem is I live in a weak 3G area (signal you see is with the older Airave which doesn't do data), and I may have a problem getting a good data signal.

That said, I will try it tomorrow and report back.
[Epic 4G General] BubZX:
haveing the same problem wether im on 3g or wifi. froyo i had pretty good battery life all around.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
The old airave does data. Its only 1x but it is data.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I left work at 4:30, it's 5:07. My battery still says 100%. This is insane.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
If you're in an area with bad signal, that will absolutely kill your battery. There is a place I have to go to for business quite often near an airport, and I don't get good reception there. I don't have much of a choice but to turn off data when I'm in the building or my phone will constantly drain at a rate similar to yours.

[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I have an Airave though, so signal shouldn't be an issue.
[Epic 4G General] jarcher12:
what i don't get is why is the android system showing to be so battery hungry, while display is almost nothing, in my experience from froyo the display is the main battery eater not the android system. i have had my display on for 35 min in the last 2 hours and it shows 2% use from display and 77% from android system

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

Btw i get better battery life now with GB and legendary rom 3.3
[Epic 4G General] the_details:
Could it be the "DRM Content" service preventing the phone from propperly sleeping? Also, have you tried the old trick where you put your phone in airplane mode, then back to normal? For some reason it *used* to make the Epic recieve a better signal, and draw less power because of it.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
The TWS (time without service) bug existed because for some reason the radio was searching for a GSM signal too. Even though our phone is CDMA and on a CDMA network, our radio would search for the GSM signal upon boot. This in turn caused the TWS to display ~50-51% and drain the battery incredibly fast.

This happened with each reboot of the phone. Toggling airplane mode manually refreshed the settings for the radio, which turned off that GSM signal search.

It may be worth a shot to check that. Open the cell standby option on the battery statistics page to see what your TWS % is at.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
My theory is that it is now optimized for gpu and logs the display maintenance processes under Android System. Or something they did makes the display less power hungry.
[Epic 4G General] jarcher12:
i seriously thought it was a mistake at first so used to seeing the display eating something like 90% of my battery use. they must have changed the way they measure things radically, i still feel like i get better battery use now with legendary rom than i ever did with froyo.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Freeze DRM content. How much % of the time are you logged without signal? (According to your battery stats) try a day with 3G off. You'll still be able to make calls, and receive texts with 1x service with 3g deactivated. Increase account refresh intervals to something less frequent, same with any widgets you may be using.

I'm seriously *this close* to writing up a guide so we can all get the best out of our battery, I just need time, can't atm, working what I can to make ends meet.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I'm right there with you. I was getting horrible battery life with EC05 so I decided to give GB a shot since so may people were reporting good results.

I'm getting about 6 hours max. I can't make it through the day at all.

Sucks.

And not only that, but I still have the issue where the battery displays incorrectly. If I reboot the phone while at 75%, it will say it's down to 15% after reboot. I know this was a bug with EC05 and you just had to reboot while plugged in to remedy this but it's such a pain.
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
I had terrible battery life with EC05.

I did the update.zip method because I'm impatient. My device bootlooped as a result. Had to do factory wipe/reset...and now, battery life is great, far better than EC05 was.

I believe the trick was the factory reset and start over. I'm still getting emails, and have FB, Twitter and G+ running like before (manual updates) but the battery lasts the day no problem. If you do a reset and then restore from backup, you're potentially putting back the problem, that's why I did it the hard way (aside from it being unplanned!)

GB seems to handle weak signal areas much better now. With EC05, my phone would get hot when I was at my desk, and that usually wiped out the battery in short order. That doesn't seem to happen with GB.

One common thread I've heard amongst Android owners is that if you start running into battery life issues you can't explain, use the nuclear option...wipe/reset to the OOB (out of box) condition and then manually rebuild. I've heard of good results using this method, and I seem to be one of them.
[Epic 4G General] mtwow789:
I am actually getting decent battery life.

I normally rely on WIFI, so that is the probably the reason why my phone lasts around 14 hours. Try turning off push notification for facebook. Also it could be a bad flash. One time I had bad flash with SRF1.2, it made my phone hot all the time and battery was draining 10% per hour even when I had it screen turned off.
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
For those with poor cell signal, make sure your wifi is set to never sleep. I'm on the stock deodexed rom and getting much better battery life than ever before on this phone. Had it 12 hours off charger with 3 hours of screen on and still had 20% battery left.

To the Op, there is definitely something wrong with your results. Are you using ei22 modem? Which rom? Seems like some service is eating away at you battery but I'm not sure how to tell which one. My phone also shows android system as the highest power draw, but I am getting great battery life.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
There is a way to actually turn push notification on/off? that's news to me. Push notification worked for me once, then they updated the app and it's never worked since. :cool:

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

On Froyo and GB, I get worse battery life on wifi when I set it to never sleep... :confused:
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
My time without signal was 0%. That didn't look to be the problem. Also, if TWS was the problem, wouldn't the Cell standby signal be higher?

What are the side effects of freezing DRM?

I can't/won't do a day without 3G. I shouldn't have to do that!!! If I wanted a phone that can do calls/text messages, I would have got a flip phone. I can also extend my battery life by turning off the radio altogether, but I shouldn't have to do that.

I only have one widget (weather one) and I think the update time on that is 6 hours.
[Epic 4G General] starskyrob:
Check my rom out guys. I'm getting 15 to twenty hours with moderate usage. Much more with light uses. Ciq kills battery.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I am using a stock build with the EI22 modem (rooted). That is it. I have my Wi-fi set to never sleep already.
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Do you have good cell signal most of the time? I typically have 1-2 bars where I am. I admit I haven't tested it in a long time, may be worth retesting on GB.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Not really, I have pretty spotty coverage in my apartment. That probably has a lot to do with it.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I'm running stock EI22 with the mkasick kernel and I'm getting great battery life. Typically after 12 hours I'm at between 50 and 60 percent, unless I spend the day in an area with one bar or less signal, then the battery drops pretty quickly. Here are some tips I posted to someone else with the same issues.

-------------------------------------------------

See what you have set to sync. Turn off any autosyncs you don't need, like weather screens, facebook, etc. If at all possible set them to only sync when you open the program.

I use the exchange option for gmail using the stock samsung app, which gives me push email but doesn't have to keep polling the server. I don't know if that makes a difference compared to imap, but it works well for me.

Wifi is a much more efficient way transfer data than 3G, use it whenever you can, and set it to never sleep. Otherwise the 3G radio keeps starting up again and wasting battery.

You can freeze the DRM stuff if you don't use it. I don't know if it really makes a difference but everyone thinks it does, so I do it.

Having a black wallpaper helps a little because on a AMOLED screen a black pixel uses no power.

The biggest battery killer is being in a bad signal area. If you always have 0 or 1 bars then your phone is going to always be draining the battery trying to find a good cell. In that case Roam Control may help you.

App killers aren't that useful on Gingerbread since they keep killing apps that just reload on their own, and every time the reload it uses power. Just because an app is loaded doesn't mean it is running. Try letting the system take care of it. Juice Defender may help a little but it keeps shutting down data and starting it up, which means you don't get as much usefulness out of the phone and may waste power in some circumstances.

That's about all I do, and with the latest Stock gingerbread EH17 and EI22 I'm sitting with about 50% left after 12 hours, that's with light to moderate use.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
What is it and how do I know if I use it?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
To my knowledge, people who have *deleted* DRM Content and anything else that had the word DRM in it have reported audio issues. Like crackling/skipping I believe? Which is why it need only to be Frozen and not deleted to avoid such possible side effect.

P.S. I only suggested turning off 3G because my Epic is running strictly with 1x.. lol. It isn't the 'culprit' but in any given emergency where its close to dead and you need it to 'bare with you' an extra while or so, I guess in such scenario it could render useful.. but yeah you don't have to have it turned off all day. I didn't mean for you to think I was offering a solution to your battery problem, just meant to tell you to try it out without 3g for a day to remove such factor, and if your phone's battery life was still destructive, then that could be ruled out. As for TWS, yeah, seems that factor can be tossed out the window here.
[Epic 4G General] jmuru:
You should check out one of the newer EI22-based ROMs. Legendary, ACS ICS v4 or Starsky all give me fantastic battery life.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I can vouch for getting extremely way better battery on acs ics 1 hour screen time only used 15% that's great compared to same usage and different rom & kernel 25 -30%
[Epic 4G General] EpicNewb4g:
i agree wholeheartedly, thanks starskyrob for an awesome rom so far, it is definitely giving me better battery life than my previous froyo romm

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netnerd:
the reason i bought skyrocket was hoping att going to launch LTE in san francisco bayarea by end of 2011! i mean they selling the phone 149.99$ over here!

now that there is no LTE for me in 2011, there is no point of keeping skyrocket.

i thinking of returning skyrocket and get galaxy nexus!

"Additionally, AT&T will launch 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) in six new markets on Nov. 20: Charlotte, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Nov. 20 launches will expand AT&T 4G LTE to 15 markets total, meeting its 2011 market commitment. AT&T plans to reach 70 million Americans by year-end 2011"
