[TouchPad General] benfikaman:
So, first let me say the XRON CM7 is amazing and big thanks to leoisright for working so hard to bring us to a beta version. Now I know in the early versions of the CM7 alphas there were some people having SOD problems and even some that could not charge there touchpad and had to send it back for service.

So for all those that are on the fence, because of this, lets lay this out there and use personal experiences to help. Please share:

- how do you charge your unit, USB stock charger or touchstone

- do you charge in WebOS, or while in the Android operating system

- have you ever drained your battery and were able to charge it normally?

Feel free to share any other battery issues or tips to increase battery life, specifically XRON

My own experience is:

-i haven't let the battery drain fully since being on XRON CM7 Rom, and I charge in WebOS, with touchstone charger. Battery life has been awesome with moderate usage.

Thanks to all that share
[TouchPad General] benfikaman:
Anyone?

How do u guys charge ur TP? And in what operating system?
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
I always charge mine within Android, using the stock charger. A standard charger (like my Droid X) has a lower output (I never though .3 volts would make a difference) and it takes forever to charge.

Haven't ran the battery down yet since using XRON.
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
I charge in both systems with the stock wall charger.

I get better battery life in webOS. No exact #, but I probably get 1 more hour using it similarly. I've found that I'm using webOS more. Probably about 65/35. If I could only have one os, I'd probably choose webOS, though I've used Android a lot longer.

I'm running OTA 3.0.4, Uberkernal @ 1.5 max and 192 min. In android it's CM7 Xronified, vB1.1, oc to 1.5 max and 384 min.
[TouchPad General] benfikaman:
O yeah makes a huge difference

Does anyone have a touchstone, I'm curious how induction charging reacts in android.
[TouchPad General] pa49:
I use a combination of both standard wall charger and touchstone, whichever happens to be nearest at the time. At night it gets put on the touchstone so I start each day with a topped up battery.

I never let the battery get lower then 20% and always run Xron.

I have WiFi on all the time and Bluetooth on when out and about to enable navigation.

10 hours is just about possible from full.

That's more than enough for "allday use".
[TouchPad General] benfikaman:
Great thanks, im trying it on the touchstone now under the android system.

The touchstone is so much more convenient way to charge.
[TouchPad General] viny2cool:
according to engadget experiments, Touchpad has about 8 hrs of battery if you use it continuously..so if we are getting 10 hrs on it then i thinks it good enough...

I use it for around 3-4 hrs daily on android and charge once in 2-3 days....but it always connected to WIFI...
[TouchPad General] pa49:
I can see how 8 hrs would be appropriate for non stop use, but, in all honesty my usage is on and off all day. I resently read via kindle reader for 6 hrs at a stretch and had over 30% still showing.

One thing I do believe is that the battery satus monitor (like all devices on android ROMs) is wildly innacurate and definitive values can only ever be established by comparative clinical "lab" tests.
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
I'm on Xron latest and getting great battery life.
[TouchPad General] benfikaman:
So I charged for the first time my tp in android with the touchstone and it works great. After full charge and heavy usage I received almost 17 hours with 20% battery left.

Heres a better idea then being disappointed by buying a larger specd capacity battery that dont hold on to their claims of having higher mahs. Buy a Veho battery pack and you can still be mobile and have the extra juice you need to make it throughout the day. This thing is smaller then the HTC Desire hd. If anyones interested in this is how its specified:

Agree. For most of time we cant carry around a battery power pack. While travelling.. maybe. But an extended battery is the only solution when you cant stuff one 4.3-inch phone and another phone sized power pack down your pockets.

Okay, I am now thinking of partitioning my SD Card....

So a few questions:

1. What are ext4, SWAP and any other kind of partitions and the difference between them?

2. How do I partition and what should be the size of different partitions, how many partitions and each partition for what purpose?

3. After partitioning, what next so that all my apps go to partitioned SD Card, like adding a few App2SD Scripts?

4. What exactly are these App2SD and Data2SD Scripts and the difference between them?

[Galaxy 3 General] D@rekills4:
That was a good read....

But what is "Swap"?

I have no idea what that is....

And is there specifically any difference between ext3 and ext4?
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
AFAIK swap is a partition that makes it run as ram when its required.. In short for memory!!

And ext3 and ext4 are just linux partitions and ext4 is recommended. Google is always your friend!! :D

If you are getting some errors/bugs after partitioning, disable swap as it doesnt work for every1

[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
If you are kind of new to this, remember, there is a difference in being rooted, and being unlocked. It's not too difficult to root the photon. If you have rooted it, but not unlocked the bootloader, you won't be able to do a full version of clockwork mod. You can do what's called a bootstrap recovery, which has some, but not all of the features of clockwork. Just a little tip.

[HTC Radar] Liopord:
I've never performed a SIM unlock but I just got an HTC Radar from T-Mobile and am ouside the US.

How can I unlock the SIM Card? I've been looking at the unlockyourphonehtcmodel.com site (just invented that one, but all of those sites are similar). The thing is that all these sites look shady to me.

Has anyone had any luck unlocking SIM for your HTC Radar in one of these sites? If so, on which site? and how much should I pay for it?
[HTC Radar] tai4de2:
Firstly, it's likely that T-Mobile itself would give you the code under these circumstances. You should try calling them and just tell them you paid full price for the phone and intend to travel overseas with it.

If not, htcimeiunlock.com is reputable. I have used them several times, most recently for a Titan. You can enter the IMEI and they'll tell you immediately if they have the code and what it costs (probably $25 for a Radar). If they say you will receive it in 15 minutes, you will receive it in less than 15 minutes after having paid (via paypal).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnonyMouse901:
OK, I searched for: "U8150 Bluetooth keyboard" (without the quotes) and came up with a LOT of results, mostly not relevant to what I'm looking for. If this is the wrong place to post this please advise, but there doesn't seem to be a specific forum for the Huawei Ideos U8150.

Walking around a local shopping centre recently, asking questions at several phone shops, I'm left astonished at how little the staff in general seem to know about the extensibility of android phones.

Like probably thousands of people around Australia I took advantage of a recent Aldi promo and bought an Ideos U8150 for 60 bucks. It's my first SmartPhone and I'm delighted with the features and value for money.

But the big problem is my fat fingers, and I bet I'm not alone there. Surely there must be a LOT of SmartPhone owners who want a better keyboard — an external one that you can actually type on without constantly hitting the adjacent key. A Bluetooth mini keyboard is the obvious answer.

Not having found any actual recommendations for an external keyboard to use with the Ideos U8150, I purchased and experimented with a couple of them.

First try was with a Kaiser Baas BT-130, a really mini keyboard.

Second attempt was with an Acer Iconia A500/A100. This one is about two thirds normal keyboard size.

Results were pretty much the same with both: It's easy to initiate Bluetooth connectivity, but sending keystrokes to the phone only "sort of" works under certain circumstances.

I'm afraid its a bit long-winded, but I'll detail my experience in case one of you more experienced tech types are able to take it further.

See next post for details.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louisli:
Hey why bother connecting a keyboard to 8150 for its small screen (320x240)? I wouldn't doubt if ppl like to connect keyboards with large screen devices, but for this one (I own this machine too), I'd prefer using "remote web desktop" which includes wifi keyboard feature.

Louis
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnonyMouse901:
Thanks for bringing Web Desktop to my attention -- I'm sure I'll be able to make use of it somewhere along the line.

However, it's not a solution to my desire for an external keyboard. A mini keyboard is very easy to fit in a briefcase, overnight bag or backpack, and can make the phone much more functional and usable when on the move. For some tasks these SmartPhones can replace a computer, but rapid text input is a problem.

I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking on my PC all the time for input, but in my experience voice input on SmartPhones is cool and useful, but not up to the level of Dragon.

Really need a keyboard connection.

How about micro USB keyboards, you don't need bluetooth pairing then.

aint there a 650 voltage limit for SG2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
of course it will work. Any charger that is 5V 500mA or greater will work.

The phone will only draw what it can take amperage wise. Its designed to conform with standard USB mA which is 450-500 and its also designed to work with up to 750mA of current for charging according ot the specifications of its OEM charger.

Although a 2A 5V charger works just fine. There are no gains charging with it.

The OEM charger takes roughly 1-2h to charge the device as well depending on device usage while charging.

From 100% dead last night to a full charge it was about 1.75 hours with some usage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] madman604:

[Epic 4G General] hindibuff:
Through this forum and others, I was able to restore my battery life on the epic back to the 20 odd hours. I thought of writing my process here for the benefit of those who might be struggling with similar issues:

ROM: Clean GB

Tools: Better Battery Stats and Battery usage graph (BetterBatteryStats from the market. I think there is another one that is free. I will try and find it. However, the graph referred to is the one that is built it. When you see battery usage, click on the the top part and it shows the graph of battery drain. )

Observation: There is unusual usage of phone when the screen is off. The phone wakes up roughly once every 2-3 minutes even when the screen is off. Battery life between 3 and 5 hours. Emails do not sync or slow to sync.

1. Removing DRM files: The three said files were frozen using Titanium Backup. However, when I looked under battery usage/Android, I would still see DRM listed. So in the end, I UNINSTALLED all three files and the DRM was no longer listed. Not sure how much of a culprit it is but worth mentioning if you are freezing the files assuming they are not coming up. Check under Battery:

2. Calendar: This was the main culprit: Calendar storage was damaged on the phone and so, the phone was constantly polling to sync my calendar, in turn, running the battery down and making the phone slow. Cleared Calendar Storage using Titanium and that fixed the problem of syncing.

Emails:

1. Hotmail : Activesync (now on 1 hour polling)

2. Corporate: IMAP (1 hour)

(Above two running on Enhanced Email client). Not sure if standart client will also work, will test that and post later)

3. Gmail: using gmail app

Worth mentioning, that I used Enhanced Email and turned on logging to really see what was going on, hence coming to the issue of Calendar taking forever to sync.

3. SNS: The symptom was that SNS would be constanting restarting when seen under Applications/ Running services. Freezing the 2 sns files took care of that. Lost facebook status messages etc for contacts but made the phone faster.

4. KERNEL and CWM : Initially, although the phone was rooted, CWM was somehow, not FULLY installed. And for some reason, the phone would go to Sprint Recovery Menu. Also, worth mentioning, kernel usage was high. Installed the Clean_kernel and the latest CWM till I was satisfied the install was good and clean. A good way to test is to watch kernel usage on better battery stats and CWM behaviour when you go to Recovery.

5. Moved all content of SD card to PC and reformatted it. However, my SD card was fine, so did not see a change in performance, however, others might benefit, especially if you have movie files that the system is having a problem parsing.

I will add more if I think I missed something but doing the above took my phone from a paltry 3 hours on standby to more than 20 hours with usage. Totally acceptable and happy.

Hope this helps others.
[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
Thanks, there's some interesting information in your post!
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I cannot find either of those battery tools on the market... I also run clean GB...
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I took into account what you mentioned, and removed SNS completely, hell I went a step further and just uninstalled the FB app. I will use the mobile site, and that is fine and dandy for me, I don't really need or want the constant notifications anyways.

I recommend the app Juice Defender, get the ultimate version, either pirate or paid, it is well worth it. Manages your 3g and wifi better, turns them off when the aren't needed, turns them on when they are. Really handy, has at least doubled my standby time.

I also recommend getting CPU Master, and having both it and voltage control on boot. CPU master lets you have profiles based on events, like the screen being off, or the battery getting to hot, again setup properly this also has done a number on my standby time.

Since I just flashed this kernel I haven't run a battery test yet, I am using Legendary 2.1 and IAP 2.0.6. Will run a test tonight to see how long the battery lasts for standby, hopefully it will turn on in the morning, it hasn't in the past very often.

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

I haven't used the graph, in order to find Betterbatterystats it has to be spelled just like that
[Epic 4G General] hindibuff:
Yes, BetterBatteryStats from the market. I think there is another one that is free. I will try and find it. However, the graph referred to is the one that is built it. When you see battery usage, click on the the top part and it shows the graph of battery drain.

The important part that I wanted to see was when the screen is off, is there any activity, meaning the phone is not truely speaking. At when the phone was at its worse, there was a activity roughly every 2 minutes. That was the main cause of the battery drain.
[Epic 4G General] hindibuff:
I cant say much about those tools cause I havent really used them. However, in my case, the problem was a bad calendar sync and SNS, I can see Juicedefender would maybe improve the battery life as it wont let the phone connect, but wont necessarily correct the issue at hand. Just my two cents.
[Epic 4G General] hindibuff:
FYI: I have the facebook app installed and it works fine. The problem is in the SNS when you put in your facebook info and it lets you sync fb events etc.

Also, by removing, I am hoping you mean you froze or deleted those two SNS files. Just watch Applications/Running to see if you see SNS there. If not, you are golden.

I also highly recommend this app, and have realized enormous power savings from it. My phone takes microscopic sips of electrons when in standby with JD.

However, I most emphatically DO NOT recommend that anyone be a thieving, pond-scum, crook with the ethics of a crack whore and obtain a pirated copy of this app, as saramon has recommended above. The author if this app has spent a lot of their time developing it, and should be compensated fairly. It is one of the best supported, most often update apps around. For the value it provides, there really isn't any legitimate argument justifying stealing it to avoid a few bucks.

Shame, saramon, shame.
