I use a pair of hd sound buds I got from 5 below for, you guessed it $5. They are the best I have seen. The sound is real good and if they break I just go get another pair. They have a mic for calls too. Everyone I call says I sound real good through this headset. Cant beat $5 for a good set of buds w/ a mic. I have paid a lot more for sets that were not as good. I keep a spare set around b/c I am hard on headsets.

I use audio technica's clip on earphones, really comfortable and portable. The cable is lined with cloth, so it is a lot more sturdy than plastic or rubber, and it is near impossible to get it to tangle up, even after being tossed around in a wadded-up mess for a few days. Best headphones I have ever bought. They are a little on the expensive side, and they don't have a mic, but I listen to a lot of music, and I definitely fee like I got my money out of them.

Might wanna check out Amazon's selection of Sennheiser earbuds right now. I've always trusted in Sennheiser for great quality at a great price.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...nheiser+earbuds&rh=i:aps,k:sennheiser+earbuds

These ones:

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MK...YMF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323525004&sr=8-1

are marked down from 80 to 23! And some of the reviews say 70 was a great price for the quality. The next model up retails for 120 and is on sale for 30.

Or, go to Target and get a pair of Skull Candy ink'd earbuds. They are 17 or so, and sound comparable to much more expensive sets. Was really impressed by them for paying under 20. And the noise cancellation is great, too.

I just bought a pair of sony sweet little buds:

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-EX33LP-BLU-Style-Headphones/dp/B001RB24KK

They were 20 or so, and the reviews on Amazon are pretty positive, but I don't think they sound as good as the Skull Candies at all. So they are going back to the store
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
I find that the urbanears bags works well with a mic for 30, or the klipsch s4a sound pretty amazing for 100. the klipsch app works pretty well for controlling headphones with one button.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vrgelinas:
The Klipsch s4 is pretty bass heavy though. The phones I prefer for compressed, on the go usage are the Klipsch S2 if you can find any variety of them.

Koss Porta Pro's. Sound great, nice sound balance, and pretty darn affordable. They have a lifetime warranty, and I believe I saw a version with a built-in mic.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
I find the klipsch s4 to be reasonably balanced, but the bass is better tuned. they are squeezing a lot out of the high end.

I think that was a very complicated way to say "i agree."

I use the Skullcandy Titan model. For only $40 they're amazing. I see no reason to go above and beyond and pay $99 or $150 for Beats when these are awesome and compare to the same quality output. They're totally worth the 40 bucks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
For daily music enjoyment riding mass transit (buses/subways or trains) - a pair of in-ear, noise-cancelling headphone/mic is what I carry/use (picked up mine from a Brookstone sale 2 years ago, iphone compatible) and it is great.

The key is to install/enable/use DSP Manager on the ROM if not stock - I can fine tune the music/video settings as needed for various boost & equalization.

For the occassional oversea/long distance air travel, I take the full-sized Sony NC headset with the cups - I just don't feel the need to spend hundreds to buy into the Bose brand.

YMMV, of course.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lodxcol:
I use the Beats by Dr Dre ear buds. They are around $75, but the difference between these and a $5 pair is I wont have to buy a new pair next week. These baby's last.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I like my cheap headphones. The sound is as good as I need it to be, they have lasted for two years now, and if I do lose them or break them I can replace them without breaking the bank. I use them on my motorcycle, in the sauna, while I work out, work in the yard, etc. I don't know that I would be comfortable abusing an expensive pair like I do these.

For me they are just like sunglasses, the cheaper they are the more I like them and the longer they last and the more expensive ones get lost, stolen, or broken right away. It's like they have an odd niche in the market for being backwards or contrary to what one would think.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] robosushi:
I got a pair of Ultimate Ears 350 earbuds for the sake of listening to music (they sound utterly amazing), having relatively good noise isolation (no active noise isolation, they just fit in your ears very well), and not breaking my wallet. However, they also sell a version of those with a microphone and phone controls (the 350vi) that my friend owns, and he says they're great. Only problem I've noticed is that if you really seat them in your ears, you won't be able to hear much going on around you. If you need that (say, if you're going on a run in a city and need to avoid getting hit by a car...) then I either only wear one earbud in, or just put them in my ears loosely, but YMMV.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
If I were to leave my phone on without using it, it would die in about 10 hours. Is this normal? It's been like this since stock. I don't think this is normal since my G2 had way better stand-by time.

Please, don't say it has something to do with your settings and stuff, because I had the same things turned on with the same apps on my G2 with way better Stand-by time. GPS and Auto-backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ga101698:
Im running bone stock. I recharged after 38 hrs. And still had a 30% chg left

These were 14 hrs after complete chg.

View attachment 802729View attachment 802731
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
See? This is what I'm not getting. Even since stock my Standby time was horrible. So I rooted to get better battery life. Nothing is changing. I even did a battery calibration to see if the phone was just reading the battery wrong.

I have another question. After the phone is finished charging at 100%, as soon as I take it off the charger, it goes down to 99%. Is that normal? I thought the phone was supposed to stay charged at 100% for a little while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ga101698:
I just unplugged mine from complete charge and as soon as I unplugged it went to 99. So, yes????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That is normal to drop to 99% immediately. I always charge to full before I go to sleep at night and for some reason if I leave wifi on, the drain is really low when not in use...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
Ok. I have no idea what is going on, but my phone just randomly rebooted, froze and then reset my home screen replacement launcher (as if I hit set to default), and now when I went to check on the battery usage and this is what I get:

Android OS is now at about 2% along with other things.

Display is at about 50%.

This is new. Android OS used to ALWAYS be higher then display. That didn't make since.

Now things are different. It seems the display is using the most energy. That is normal. I expect that.

I don't know, but it seems that everything is back to normal. I am using the phone, so I'm expecting this battery drain, but I'll check to see how much battery is drained on stand-by when I go to work later on today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Let us know how it works out for you. Display should definitely be at the top if you are actually using the phone. At least it always is for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
If you want your phone to last you throughout the day, make sure that "Use Wireless Networks" in Settings -> Location is unchecked. That is the biggest battery guzzler this phone has next to 4G and Brightness. My battery loses 2% all night til I wake up (Thats 8 Hours!!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
I figured it was a Samsung thing. I leave GPS off if that's what you mean, but location services stay on. That's just a me thing.

///////////////////////////

Today after work, I lost 30% energy on standby. That's alright with me. It was about 6 hours of straight standby time. It seems to have gotten better. At times I'd lose at least half of my battery after at least 5 hours.

I don't know how the phone seemed to fix itself, but doing things doesn't just DRAIN the battery anymore. I was playing on the phone fixing my home screen launcher and my battery wasn't dying right in my face. I lost like 2% after having the screen on for about 20 minutes fixing up my settings compared to seeing 5+% in like 10 minutes.

I am satisfied. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
Lol, your battery didn't fix itself, that sounds like somethings wrong with the battery cycle. Maybe you need to recalibrate it.

You see, sometimes if you overcharge a phone, especially when using a charger that isn't made for that specific phone (usually a charger thats too strong) it can throw of the charge cycle. Thus, it can take like 30 minutes to drop 50% and then another 3hrs for the other 50% (this is just an example). If you're rooted, I highly recommend doing a full battery calibration.

Secondly, the Use Wireless Networks thing in the location isn't really a samsung thing, i think of it more as a google thing. I noticed that when its on, Google is always sending information back to itself, thus keeping the phone awake longer. Thats why if you go to your graph, it show that your phone is awake more often then it should be. I personally uncheck it, because if i ever need it, I just quickly switch on the gps. Then turn it off when im done.Thats my recommendation to you. Yesterday, I personally got a full 24hr usage out of my battery, and it wasn't even all that light. I texted most of the day, made a few calls, browsed the web, and listened to music for a few hours on the subway. Pretty moderate usage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
See, I'm not exactly unhappy with my battery life... but seeing what other folks around here are getting MAKES me a little unhappy. :p

I mean, I went to bed at... I'll say around two AM last night at 90% battery. My audio book player ran for thirty minutes after that; woke up at about eleven AM, 53%. NOTHING CLOSE to what you folks are getting. All of the big culprits I've heard mentioned have been checked out, and I just calibrated, so I dunno where else to go with this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
Make sure you turn off Use Wireless Network in the location settings. You will then be getting the battery life that I'm getting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That one is a big mystery to me. I always leave that setting on. I also have my sync on. My stock email is set at one hour and I get very little drain. Maybe it has to do with an app that uses Wireless Network location ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
Does anybody see anything unusual about my battery life?

My screen has basically been off, yet I'm still losing weird amounts of battery. Based on the hours, I took my phone off the charger at 4pm Dec. 04 (16:00) and it died at 6am (06:00) Dec. 05. That gap in WiFi was my time at work.

Those bars you see in display right before WiFi get's turned on is me texting and Facebooking. Apparently I wasn't using Facebook enough for it to actually get a place in my battery usage.

And of course those two little bars in the red was my phone telling me that it's dying. Too bad I was sleep. :P

Ignore the rise after the fall. That's it charging of course.

Also, if you notice, my WiFi apparently wasn't using anything to get a place as well. Those are all the apps that were listed. Why isn't WiFi there?

I calibrated my battery twice already. I can calibrated it again since it fully died. Let me make sure I understand how to calibrate it.

ROM: ACS Syndicated Ice

Kernel: LoS Kernel

1) Phone charged to 100%

2) Phone dies

3) Charge phone to 100%

4) CWM and wipe battery stats

That's what I do to calibrate it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
Add a 5th step which is using the battery calibration app from the market. Also, uncheck wireless networks from location settings (huge battery hog). I assume that's probably your biggest problem. Then, if you are rooted, do what I did, which is get a root explorer and go into system>apps, and move the social hub.apk and media hub.apk to a folder on your SD. It will essentially uninstall it. Those 2 apps are battery hogs as well even if you have never used them. They will always run in the background. Try those and lemme know if it helped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
Wireless network location settings is also mainly used by Google to send them data about your usage. I noticed a significant decrease in battery life whenever this is checked. I would rather just turn on my GPS whenever I need it than keep this function on at all times. Its just not worth it in my book.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisbass:
Could media hub and social hub just be frozen by using rom toolbox? Or is moving them a necessity?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
I'm not sure. But that's why I recommend moving it, so you can always reinstall it later if you need to for any reason.

Hello,

I'm interested in compiling the tun.ko driver necessary for OpenVPN. However, I got stuck when trying to pull the config.gz file from /proc/ since Motorola didn't include it as an option.

I'm not great with all this and was just following a guide. Has anyone created a working .config file that I could use instead?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
Isn't any config included?

have you tried make oldconfig?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mtwotheatt:
I thought you needed the config.gz file (and the resultant .config) pulled from the phone to use make oldconfig?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
Yes. But there should be one included or else we have to complain to Motorola.

The config is included in the binary so it have to be provided together with the source to follow GPL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
The default configuration in the kernel source should be okay.

I'll compile that later for you :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mtwotheatt:
Awesome thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Emh, as the default kernel configuration says, the TUN/TAP interface driver is already included into the kernel. You don't need a module.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mtwotheatt:
So you're saying even though I don't see tun.ko listed in the filesystem that I should be able to initiate TUN when configuring OpenVPN?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mtwotheatt:
My apologies. On my last phone I had to have a tun.ko module. My understanding after searching these past few days is most phones require it to be built. Is the RAZR different by having it built into the stock kernel?

By the way, finally got OpenVPN working today.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Yup, it seems Moto wanted to include support for VPNs on stock!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkghost22:
What does this do? Sorry not familiar with this
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mtwotheatt:
It lets you setup a VPN connection from your phone to another server. Basically, your phone encrypts all your data before going to Verizon, etc. then it arrives at (in my situation) my home router which decrypts it then sends the request out to the internet, and back to my phone encrypted and so on.

It's useful for:

1) I can access my home network from anywhere as if I were at home connected to my router over Wifi

2) If I'm out at a hotel or something and I want to use the Wifi to access a bank account or something without worrying about someone else on the network stealing my password.

Just to name a few.
