[HTC Inspire 4G] MagicalHobo:
So I understand battery life is dependent on several factors, but I'm looking for a general number of hours of what's considered "good" battery life for the Inspire. I have looked at a couple different threads around XDA in an attempt to tweak my battery life to the fullest, as a heavy user of text messaging and the occasional use of my data services, but they don't ever seem to give numbers. The following shows my battery life from about 8 this morning until about 4 PM:

So, I'd guess that I would roughly get about 10 hours from a full, overnight charge down to zero. This is using the CM7 Nightly posted here with radio 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M and the latest TalonACE kernel with the BFS scheduler. So, am I getting good battery life by the standards of my fellow Inspire 4G users? Keep in mind that I live in a bit of a small valley so reception is poor here until I walk up toward my university's campus. Please let me know if I forgot anything; this is not a request for help on tweaking my battery, just whether or not I should look into trying something else to improve it further or if I've hit about my max.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
If you don't regularly use data, juice defender will help you alot.

But to answer your question, on average I can get about 20 hours of battery life with 2 - 3 of that being screen on time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stubey:
I do a good bit of texting as well, about 2 hours of web browsing/gaming/xda-ing, and I work in a metal shop so my phone is always searching for signal. I can make it through a 10 hour work day but have to charge as soon as I get home. While I'm sleeping it only drains about 1% per hour so if I didn't use my phone it would last much longer. I'm running rcmix3d v4.0 with killersloth script. I've personally come to the conclusion that our screens are battery hogs and there isn't much we can do about it. So yea, i'd say your drain is normal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
If you can make it from when you take it off the charger in the morning to plugging it back in at night without prohibiting your use than that's good battery life for the inspire. I think on average people get 4 min per 1% battery while screen is on. That is if you are being reasonable about brightness. I just use auto bright though and I can make it through the day no problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jaxellis:
I know for me I get about 12 hours on a heavy usage day but when I use it only for messaging I would say about medium or light usage i get 24-26 hours of battery using CM7 Nightly's And this is with wifi connected 24/7
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTC_Phone:
I have Rcmix Runny 3.3 on my Inspire, with the UV script. I'm a huge texter, and usually text consistently throughout the day. I unplug the phone about 7:45 am on my way to class, go through the day, occasionally connecting to wifi, and make about an hour phone call at night, and by 10 pm I've got anywhere in the 40-50% range of battery left
[HTC Inspire 4G] willwalk93:
Seriously? How old is your battery? Also, how good is signal strength where you are? because at my house (small town in southern US), signal absolutely sucks and is switching networks constantly. I left my phone at home one day and after eight hours of screen off idle, the battery was at 68%. If I am in town at school with a three+ bar 3g signal, I can go eight hours at idle and still hav 94% left.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Maczamo:
I get on average a battery life of 10 hours, but i'm constantly using my wifi. I do turn it off whenever i leave the house though so it's not constantly searching for a signal
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
I usually get at least 16 hours from a charge. 3-4 hours listening to music with bluetooth headphones. 2-3 hours screen on time. Phone calls, e-mail, occasional Pandora, etc. I am using Juice Defender ultimate, and have an Anker battery. And I'm on ARHD 6.3.1 with the recommended radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rllebaron:
I feel that 10 hours is a good minimum benchmark for my phone. I have the screen brightness is set to auto and I get between 12-16 hours on a cheap 1800mAh battery with moderate use.

You'll get it automatically with some roms (such as CM7).

Check out this thread, available for some stock roms.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
You can use SwitchPro Widget.... One of the buttons is intended to reboot system... And has the option to reboot within recovery and loading! Give it a try, I'm using it in stock 2.3.4.

PD. It is on the market, have no time to give you the link... But go for it with the name, you'll find it faster than a thunder! :D

thanks,im about to download this widget since i cant use a custom rom coz im stuck at unrooting and even if i unroot my phone im afraid to do something wrong and brick it:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
But... Why do you want to unroot?

a) Warranty stuff?

b) Unrooting for flashing?

If you picked b you have to know that don't have to unroot to flash a new ROM :o
[Xoom General] downyours:
I just picked up a xoom a couple days ago and am waiting on one of the OTG cables that were linked in the accessories page. I'm wondering how one goes about transferring files from a camera to internal storage? I noticed there isn't a built in file manager so maybe using something like ES file explorer? Being that I haven't received the cable yet, I can't just try it out.

And I did search, but the XDA app sucks. Search xoom and you get everything else...

Any help would be appreciated.
[Xoom General] slonn:
I use the HD File Manager app which works great. Have to admit I haven't tested importing pics from a camera yet.

Use Drive Mount to....well mount your camera so it's viewable in the file manager.

[Xoom General] downyours:
No, I'm not, but don't have a problem with being rooted.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Please correct me if I've missed something, but I believe you have to be rooted with a custom kernel/rom that supports usb host mode to do what you want to do. If you do want to root, here's a guide you could use: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249798

You may have to hunt down the most up to date kernels/roms for the last step, but that's easy.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparksltd:
No that's not the o2 firmware. You will need this one: http://www.multiupload.com/4Q0HJJUE51

Just download that. Before flashing I would to factory reset via* 2767*3855# in dialer then flash that rom as pda (if there is more than one file let me know as I can't remember) after reboot do another factory reset. Then update via kies.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkyJoePD:
I've read about updates needing the system applications installed to work. I have a few questions:

Do all apps have to be installed (including games)?

I've uninstalled some apps to download again to install them as user apps to move to my SD card. Do I need to re-install these back to system apps? Or is the fact they're installed good enough?

Will a factory reset put everything back the way it should be so I can just do that?

Finally, why do you have to have it the way it was to enable updates?

Thanks in advance. I've read quite a few posts about having to have system apps installed, but not why or which ones.

Why don't you just install the latest firmware after backing everything up (just in case something goes wrong) that way all the system apps are fine and it should be fine with an update service.. but why wouldn't you all just wait for an official rom to be leaked and flash it your phones with flashtool?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BFirebird101:
I've been pissed about Verizon not mentioning anything about the phone like everybody else has been. But now I'm thinking, they say it's due to an app, bugs, etc, but. I'm starting to think it's a very clever marketing ploy. It's definitely causing a stir on the Internet community, which eventually gets around to the rest of the world who don't know what a Galaxy Nexus is. Very smart indeed. Whether this is the reason, it's definitely working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
silence followed by consumer frustration is never a good "marketing ploy".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OctoPI:
I may have missed it, but has Verizon even officially said that the delays are caused by bugs or app compatibility issues? It seems to me that they have just been silent and all the rumors stem from the various blogs and forums where somebody knows a guy who's dating their sister's plumber who heard it from his cousin at Verizon who has it on great authority that the delay is caused by X or Y.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver420:
Having a VERY weird problem with Eclipse and I cant work out for the life of me what is going on. Will be VERY appreciative if someone knows what the problem is here.

IF I create a new Android Project, it will save a folder with all the files to C:\users\silver\workspace

IF I create a android project from an existing source, the workspace folder does not contain the saved project folder.

Up until today there was no problem. Then for no reason as far as I can see, it went nuts on me.

Ive reinstalled and setup Eclipse. Ive even restored my PC to an earlier point to see if that would help.

If I cant work this out, its 2 weeks worth of work down the drain :(

Anyone got any ideas as to what the heck is going on?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep1993:
Have you tried to import the specific project? I am sure the project which should be imported is an eclipse project. If yes you are able to IMPORT it instead of creating a new project from source. If not have you tried to cut the specific project from the workspace folder and then create a new project from existing source and choose the project esp. from your desktop and mark copy it to the workspace folder. (In some cases eclipse is not able to import/create a project if its in the workspace folder.)

If these things don't help. Update all the Android Specific Stuff. Update to newest ADT and SDK. And try it again.

If it won't work even after that i will need some more detailed information about your problem.

Good luck ;)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav2880:
Had an interesting experience with my Nook Color today. Thankfully, didn't turn out to be a bad one, but it seems like it could have been.

I plugged my Nook Color USB cable (and the device, of course ... running CM7.1) into my iPod USB charger cube, the one that wasn't recalled (green dot). After about 15 minutes, the light on the Nook USB cable was multi-color blinking, and the USB cube was burning hot to the touch.

Now, I of course didn't expect it to charge the NC quickly, it's a 500mA to 1A device for charging, where the Nook Color wants 1.8A to charge at full speed. But, I'm wondering if it was trying to push too much power over the cube which could have caused it to overheat and hurt the device.

Thoughts from anyone?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
You may have been trying to push too many amps through a single pin. The stock charger and cable use multiple pins to charge at "full speed".
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youbecha:
I have done the same thing, hooked the nook up with the nook cable to the iPhone cube charger...it overloads it and shuts down the cube...

...unplug the nook from it, and it will reset (you may have to unplug the cube itself)...then remind yourself to not plug the nook into it.

(I have done it about 3 times so far by accident)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MK[PCTF]:
I only take the iPhone charger with me on vacations (or longer periods away from home) and charge both the iPhone and Nook color with it. Never had any problems, aside from the Nook charging slower of course.

It is original charger that came with iPhone 2G, maybe you guys use newer ones? Also my Nook is running stock Froyo if it makes any difference in charging.

It looks like this, not like this.

I am trying to update my radios, etc, is that a good idea? Also, I have HBoot 2.10.0001. Is there any reason to upgrade to 2.16? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I wouldn't upgrade the hboot, I don't think that there's any benefit. I'm still on 2.02 and haven't found any reason to update.

Updating radios is a good idea though, it could help with your service. If it doesn't then you can always downgrade. You can't downgrade your hboot.

Just remember to NOT pull the battery no matter what weird screen you see. After you flash the radio it'll prompt you to reboot. The radio finishes installing during the reboot, if you pull the battery on that screen you will brick your phone. After that you can reboot normally.

If anyone has a good reason to update hboot I'd love to hear it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
The performance of the radios or combinations of radios which you use are all trial and error, and will vary on different phones. I've personally have seen better battery life from the older radios. There is too a slight risk of bricking your phone every time you flash a radio, and a sure chance if you get nervous and pull the battery during the flash.

Also, I've seen no difference in the HBoots other than 2.16 is more restrictive at flashing OTAs manually, which almost nobody does.

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

There really is no practical reason to upgrade your HBoot other than for experimenting like I do. Also, despite the claim by others, I've had many different HBoots (0.76,0.79,0.93,0.97,2.02,2.10,2.16, 6.16, 6.17) and despite what they claim, they all (Hboots), except 0.76 of course, can be downgraded if your phone has one of the older partition tables and has hardware 003 or below.

[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
Are you using the HTC cord that came with the phone? Some after market cords will keep your device from connecting. You could also try uninstalling HTC sync but not the drivers.

I've never had much luck running the RUU exe either.. If you can't get it to work I would use the PG06IMG.zip. Just put it on the root of your sd and boot into Hboot, it will run the RUU from there. Just a heads ups though, your SDcard may need to be formatted to fat32 in order for Hboot to see the zip.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kasvaca:
Yeah, I'm using the cord that came with the phone, about doing the Hboot method... How do I go about doing that? I put the zip file on the root of my SD card, what's the next step?

[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
Just put the zip on the root of your sd, power off your phone then boot into bootloader (Hold power and volume down at the same time). The bootloader will basically instruct you from there.

Couple of tips.. SdCard MAY need to formatted to fat32, google how to format it's pretty easy. This will erase everything on your sd, so make a backup.

Make sure you have fastboot disabled. Menu > Settings > Power > uncheck fastboot
[EVO Shift 4G General] kasvaca:
looks like I have to format it, it found no image. Yay.. lol

edit: okay formatted currently moving all files back onto the card and will try Hboot again.

Thought it would be interesting to make a thread on how people are using the S-pen. Give people some new ideas or whatever.

I rarely use it. My handwriting sucks so the Note has no idea what I'm writing. Although normal people can't read my writing when I write with pen/paper anyway, so no surprise there.

I mostly use the S-pen to play Nemo picross actually, ha ha ha! It sure is nice to shrink the grid to a tiny size (20x20 visible) and use the pen to play. When I used my fingers on my mytouch 4g, I'd have to use a 9x9 visible grid, and I'd have to scroll all over the place.
