[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] squishy506:
I would like to know if I can upgrade the camera on the TP2 somehow. I have both WM 6.5 and the Android FRX07.1 on this phone. I have been very happy with the XDAndroid OS. I would love to keep this phone for ten more years, but with the camera's megapixels being so low, I fear I will become frustrated as the years progress. Ideally since Droid is becoming more popular for app development, I want to upgrade the camera for that OS and use that OS exclusively. If there is a way in WinMo, I would be interested in learning about that as well.

I have a special inexpensive plan with Sprint, and this is the only smart phone they currently allow on that plan, so I'm with this device for the long haul.

And no I'm not talking about Juice Defender. I'm looking for something that'll allow me to see which apps are keeping the phone awake and use the most battery life. Something is making my battery drain and I'm not sure what it is. There are people on here going 18+ hours with 5 hours screen time and still having 10% left. I typically get 2 hours of screen time before I'm dead. Check out my stats from today. I hardly even used the phone at all!

I've set all of the apps I actually use to sync on 1 hour or longer intervals. Nothing is syncing in 5 minute intervals or something.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohd:
One of the worst things you can do to a lithium battery is discharge it completely. They don't suffer from "memory" yet every time someone here in the forums complains that they are getting crappy battery life the instruction to discharge and recharge to 100% before clearing stats pops up.

For those who are interested here is an article that explains in detail.

batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

My main question- Is there some function in android that looks at the maximum depth of discharge level of the battery or is it that most people don't understand the characteristics of L-ion and confuse them with those of Ni-Mh or Ni-Cad?

I want to know because if I need to completely discharge to get better perfomance, despite the reduction in charge cycle lifetime, I will do it but only infrequently.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
I've only let my battery discharge completely once, and it wasn't on purpose. From the posts I see here I think I get above average battery life. About 18 hours miui before I go for the charger and on 2.2 roms I'd get 20 hours and still have 40% or so to go. So no I don't think completely discharging your battery does anything for battery life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I have never run mine down completely. Gotten it to about 6% but that was because I was fighting ROM flashing problems. I usually call 25-30% enough for me and plug in then. I am also getting 30 hours out of my 2.2 with a good deal of use. I used to have a Motorola and their batteries are total crap. If you EVER let it get down below 10%, it took some real work for it to charge correctly and boot up. Even as much as a hardware mod where I have had to cut the wires on a USB charge cord and charge it rigged up with the wires pressed against the battery and prongs in the phone. Very dangerous, but worked for a last resort.

Discharging the battery is not for the sake of the battery,but more so for the ROMs data and how it acquires the battstats usage. I only run it up and down and clear stats when flashing a new ROM, but I do use my phone moderate to heavy daily and have had great success in battery life the way I calibrate it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohd:
The solution I think is to use a larger capacity battery and regulate it to narrower window of operation never fully charging or discharging.

The fastest killer though seems to be heat.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
I have read several times that your phone does not fully discharge the battery...that there is still a minimal amount of charge,not enough for the phone to opperate but enough to not damage the battery when it shuts down
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
Maybe the batterystats file can be saved after being calibrated once and then restored after every wipe oor flash.. that would save some time aabd according to you guys, batt life too

Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
I've only ever calibrated my a few times and only after flashing a new rom. I never run my battery down after resetting the stats. I just use my phone as I normally do. My understanding of calibration is that it's not about squeezing more life out of the battery despite what most people think but of getting a more accurate measurement of the battery's actual charge. Also while it's true that the phone will shut of before the battery is completely discharged damaging the battery, allowing the battery charge to drop that low shortens your battery's life and decreases the amount of charge your battery can hold.

What gets me is I also read somewhere that for optimum battery life you should keep your battery level somewhere between 70%-40%. Of course that doesn't stop me from charging my phone to 100% everyday. I don't remember where I found that article but I'll post a link if I can find it again.

The reason this bad advice about completely discharging your battery persists is probably the same reason people keep recommending automatic task killers.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene373:
Discharging the Battery & Running the Battery Dead is 2 Different things!

We recommend running the battery dead ( Phone Shuts Off ) & recharging while off to train the Android OS from Full > Empty..

Running the Phone until Dead is not Going to hurt the Battery in anyways shape or form despite what you may think or read!

The Reason is, the battery is never fully Discharge & still holds Voltage.. The Calculations of Charged / Dead is at the Kernel Level, so even when dead it still has a 3.4v still or roughly..

As long as the kernel isn't tampered with, discharging the battery via the Phone will never hurt the battery period!

Now, Based on the link you posted you would have to run the battery down past the safe discharge point.. Via some other means of killing the battery, other than using the Phone.

To help ease your mind, Remember this:

~ Charge levels is controlled by the kernel

~ Even when Phone powers off, there is still plenty of charge in the Phone's Battery

~ Battery is never Fully charged, as this also hurts lithium batteries

Roughly every Android kernel does not let lithium battery get below 3.4v and at most 96% charged.

Hope this helps,

~Eugene
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MS Gray Man:
If you are still concerned wait until your phone turns off and stick your battery on a meter. You will see there is still power left in it...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] accordex:
My original battery that came with the phone got great life, then couple of months later it was discharging in like 2-4 hrs(froyo), so I called, they sent another one free...5-6 months later that one started doing it as well, so I pulled out the old one from the drawer, it powered on at like 85% ! and I was getting crazy ass life out of it on miui over 30 hrs one time...now that one is acting up again, so I'm going to try to swap again..lol...maybe there's something to not using them for a while...

I've used diff roms and combinations of draining/recharging...calibrating, not calibrating...it's always different results..honestly I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it other than the fact that many vibrants have diff hardware and there will always be some weird quirk on a per user basis...

As far as hurting it by draining it all the way, I hardly think that's the case seeing as with both batteries I've always let it run down...not on purpose but there has been many many times I've plugged in at 1% or had to power back on because it died...charged it up and got 20-30hrs no prob..usually issues come up when flashing a new rom...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpinto:
i think it all comes down to luck of the draw. ive had my vibrant since launch day, and i still manage great battery life. my battery is actually stamped 7-02-2010. every 2 weeks or so ill drain the battery completely, turn it back on and allow itself to die again, and finally allow it to fully charge overnight or 4 hours. i usually get a good 7-8 hours of constant use on cm7, or over 24hours if let on standby.

im still debating if i want to grab an epic 4g touch battery as well to increase it even more.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0stryxs0o:
Calibration works when its done right it doesn't hurt the battery as ling as its done correctly. You are suppose to drain the battery til it shuts the phone down but that actually doesn't drain the battery completely which is actually dangerous. Wiping your battery stats is important when you are flashing different roms at different levels of fullness because every flash keeps the old stats which will confuse your phone.

you guys ever tried put the battery in the refrigerator over the night and put the battery back in and do not turn it ON till you get full charge to 100%. It fix the hic up in the battery. it work.

ok I'll prolly get flamed beyond words for this but here goes.

My girl and I just split up. It sucks because I really loved the girl, and now I dont have the self control to not text her. we just split a couple days ago and I promise myself I wont text her again and of course I always do.

Is there any program that will silently block me from sending a text message to a specific number, I know I can block her incoming text, just want to stop myself and I dont seem to have the self control. Pathetic, I know, but it is what it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Been in your shoes many a time. Here's a little something i have learned in my years on this planet.

The more you text/call her the more she is likely to keep acting the way she is. Let it go, by doing the calling and texting she knows she has you wrapped. Ignore her, let her be the one wondering about you! She will come around, if not you didn't need her anyway...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] honestabe:
Man up and put on your big boy pants.

Have some self control. If it is that serious for you that you just can't stop calling her than send your phone to one of the devs here so it can be used for some good rather than the garbage you seem to be using it for ... Word of advice..whenever you find yourself veung pathetic ask yourself how your grandfather would handle it...then do that instead...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
@Zeppelinrox- Dude the developer himself responding to my post lol this i did not expect lol BTW i dont know what lag nullifier did but it did something and my phone is running like a 71' trans am :-)

Alsi i wanted you to know your script does help out because i was watching a youtube video and normally when i get a text the notification sound comes up and it takes three seconds for the videos sound to come back. Now it is instant with no delay.

**Update to everyone**

I tried the kick ass kernel tweaks and they hindered our performance. So for that one we will have to play around with more because there are numerous settings. In the mean time i did however, notice that it changes the sysctl config file. So for now you can use sysctl config app from the market and plug these numbers in for a small tweak...

MFK: 32568

DR: 5

DBR: 3

VFS: 0

Oom AT: checked

Apply at boot: checked

Its a free app but for a cheap price support the dev they are why our phones do what they do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeppelinrox:
Can you elaborate about the kak?

I'm sure benchmarks scores would increase.

If you mean tcp/network speed with the browser, it could be due to the many security related sysctl settings.

Any such slow down would not happen with 3G TurboCharger tho.

In fact, kak gives the 3GTC a big boost due to other network settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
After i applied the KAK script the system just seemed to feel congested. Sorry if im not describing correctly but before applying the system seemed to breath better.

Also the stock settings in KAK for the sysctl config were pretty much close to stock for us if i remember correctly. The ones i posted are overkill for even the g2x but were recommended by different forums so i went with it. I tried changing these settings in KAK script and reapplied but with all the settings in there im not sure which ones are the culprits.

You based the numbers off your milestone hardware correct?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeppelinrox:
Nearly none are milestone specific in that most values are percentages anyway, such as VFS.

Or bandwidth related so those don't come into play.

The ones that are in actual mb or kb values I bumped them up.

But the MFK can or maybe should be increased.

12mb would be enough I imagine but when too high it does slow things down (the higher that number, the less is available for cache and that means less speed)

But if you utilize the Engine Flush, the congestion disappears anyway :D
