what do you mean by normal plan? i think this is how it works

1. you get her a at&t branded smartphone (one they sell), they will detect it and require you to have a smartphone data plan. starting at $15

2. you get her a non-at&t branded smartphone, they dont know what it is, so if you have no plan or have medianet plan ($10 or 15 i forget, dumbphone data plan), she keeps her current plan

i read many times that people use a unbranded smartphone with the medianet plan. me, i cant afford data so ive been using unbranded smartphones without data plan for 3 years
[General Questions and Answers] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
It really depends on what data plan she is on right now. If it's a basic phone data plan, they will make her switch to a smartphone data plan. Those are $15 for 200MB, $25 for 2GB, and $45 for 4GB. If she has an unlimited data plan, she might be able to have it grandfathered in. Those are the only changes you should see.
[General Questions and Answers] orphan22:
Im sorry she only has voice and text. But that answered my question. If she gets an att phone they will make her get data. And she cant pay it. I gues ill get her a tmo phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Babydollll:
No. You need to get an UNBRANDED international phone to be completely safe.

What do you mean with unbranded?
[General Questions and Answers] orphan22:
ahhh i got my answer reading in the forums :)

Aparently i can use eany other carier phone and it will not be detected cause the data radios and frequency arent the same. they told me i should not have eany problems with them changing my plan. thanks for all your help guys :)

I've been sitting on my 4.5.91 update for a month or two now, out of sheer laziness/I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm currently running Android 2.2.2, update 4.1.83, and GingerBlur 3.1.

Is there a way to display my wifi notification on the bottom right as dBsm in stead of bars? The engineer in me likes it better.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nubyw00tz:
Hello, everybody. Newb here (only have had the HTC Evo View 4G for a couple of days now). I have a question about the battery and screen. Is it regular for the screen to use up about ~60 percent of the battery? (According the usage stats). I find that the screen is bright, even on the lowest setting.

Also, I have a question about the battery. It seems to be draining a little quick (I am using lowest brightness and WiFi only). Could some people share how long their battery usually lasts for regular usage? I don't think it's a hardware issue. Like I've said, I've only had it for 2 days, so I don't know if I still need to wait a little.

Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
The screen is one of the biggest battery drainers (if not the biggest) on tablets. So if you are using the tablet a lot, and the screen is on for long periods of time, then 60% seems normal. I don't have my Flyer with me right now to check what my % for screen is.

Battery drain is going to depend a bunch on how much you are using your View, and for what. With moderate usage, I can get around 2 days on a charge. I'd say that is about average for me. But if you are downloading big files and gaming, and/or have the screen on a lot, it can be significantly less.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nubyw00tz:
Okay, that makes sense. The battery life seems to be getting better. One more question. I want WiFi to turn off after a certain amount of time once the screen timeouts. Is there any way to do this in the settings or with an app? The settings (official 3.2) has a WiFi timeout policy that gives three options:

Switch from WiFi to mobile data when screen is off

Never switch WiFi off

Never switch WiFi off when plugged in

I live in Canada and don't have a plan. Would using the first option drain more battery because it is looking for a connection? Or should I use the third option?

Thanks again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Hmm, not sure. I have the WiFi only version of the Flyer, and on mine the first choice is just "When screen turns off". The first choice on your View is weird. Mobile data always uses more power than WiFi, if both are available. I don't see why you would ever want that.

BTW, I'm at home and have access to my Flyer now. Battery usage for screen is 52% for me. So I'd say 60% you mentioned is pretty normal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
You should also take into account, unless you've taken steps to turn it off/remove it, Cell standby might also be causing your battery life to take a hit. Since the View is set up to also be able to receive text messages, out of the box it's constantly trying to connect to Sprint's cellular network, even if you have mobile data turned off. This thread discusses ways to deal with it. Cell standby used to be one of the biggest users of my battery. Now, it's no longer a problem and I've seen a major increase in battery life.

As for the WiFi issue, the first choice in the settings actually says "When screen turns off (uses more mobile data)." That doesn't mean that it automatically switches mobile data on if you've turned it off in the settings by selecting that option. It's worded that way because the View is designed to be used on Sprint's network, so under normal circumstances it is assumed that if you turn WiFi off, you'll have a data plan and automatically connect to the mobile data network. If you don't have an account with mobile data from Sprint, and you've turned off mobile data in the settings, it won't be an issue because you have nothing to connect to.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
That makes much more sense.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nubyw00tz:
Okay, thanks everybody. I really appreciate it. With heavy usage (basically using it all the time) I'd get about 6 hours and 10 minutes. Is that normal for everybody else?

Also, I have a couple of more questions, if you guys don't mind.

First of all, could rooting my device boost my battery life? Would it give me more access to settings like screen brightness?

And, do apps running in the background use battery life or are they 'frozen' until active? This sort of leads me into my next question. Is having 400-500MB of RAM always being used normal? Is the OS using all of it?

And I notice that when I put my tablet in airplane mode (to kill the 4G radio) I lose access to Bluetooth. Is this normal and will turning off airplane mode for a minute be a battery drain?

Thanks again, guys.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Answers:

Rooting won't necessarily boost battery life, but does give you ways to access more system items if you want using apps that take advantage of root.

Android attempts to keep non-rumming apps in memory so that it can load them faster in the future (Ram is much faster than SD memory). 80% Ram full is typical.

Airplane mode turns off all radios, BT, Wifi, GPS, 3g.

There are apps in the market that can turn various things on / off based on your environment / time / conditions
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
You don't need root access to adjust screen brightness. Settings -> Screen -> Brightness.

Airplane mode turns off all radios initially, but then you can turn almost all of them right back on (except for the cellular radios). I run mine in airplane mode all the time to keep the cellular radio completely inactive, but I still use WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth when I need/want them, and they all work great. Are you running Gingerbread or Honeycomb? I do seem to remember some mentions of not being able to use Bluetooth in airplane mode on Gingerbread. It works perfectly fine on Honeycomb.

And you can turn off the 4G radio and all data service without turning on airplane mode (Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile network). Doing this turns off all radios that receive data from the cellular network, but it doesn't turn all cellular functions off since the View is also set up to receive text messages. That's what airplane mode or any of these options address.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nubyw00tz:
What I meant by adjusting the screen brightness was being able to control its range more than I can right now (I feel that even the lowest setting can be too much). But it seems that rooting/installing a custom ROM wouldn't do too much for the battery.

But my issue with airplane mode is that I can't turn on Bluetooth with it (Bluetooth is 'grayed out'). I am running official Honeycomb.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
Did you try tapping on the box for Bluetooth in the settings even though it looks like you can't, and did you try using a widget to turn it on? I'm using stock OTA Honeycomb, and Bluetooth works perfectly fine for me while in airplane mode. I can turn it on in the settings (the box does look a little "grayed out," but you can still select it) or via a homescreen widget. If you can't turn it on with either of those, then it would seem that you've got some other type of problem. It works fine for me. I just tested it out again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nubyw00tz:
I just tried it. It seems to not be working for me, but it doesn't seem like a glitch but something built into the OS (I tried with a widget and it did a little 'no' animation). It's alright, I rarely use Bluetooth anyway.

Thanks for all of your help (plus everybody else, too)!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
I'd venture to say it's not something built into the OS. If it is built into the OS, then there's a glitch that allows me to use it under the same circumstances, and glitches rarely enable functionality. They almost always cause a device to lose functionality like you're experiencing. I'd be curious to know if anyone else is having the same issue you're having.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Droff:
Last time I have ran battery test on my Flyer I ran it for almost 11 days on one charge. Yeap, 11 days. I mostly used Flyer as a notepad, checked orders on website couple of times a day, read emails. One day I played a game for about 20 minutes. At the end I set up and tested Plex and Google Music. I stopped the test at 11% charge. Overall screen was on for a bit over 4 hours (40%). Wi-fi on for 16 hours (only 4% ??) according to stats. That's pretty much it. Tablet idle 43%. Fairly light usage, but I mostly was testing how much of useable time I can get out of it. 11 days is a pleasing result.

Hey guys got an issue i've seen several people have but nothing i've read fixes mine. So here it is. My battery meter is stuck at 41% no matter what i do. When i plug in the cable it looks and acts like its charging and it even goes green when its fully charged. Then i can use it till it powers off and it never stops reading 41%. I tried calibrating apps. I tried other battery widgits. I tried reloading roms and clearing battery stats in clock work recovery and letting it run down to nothing. Before anyone asks, yes i used the stock cable in fact i used 3 different cables. I am running 1.4.1 rooted with mn and no oc. i had this problem a 1.2 before i updated to 1.4.1 hoping it woukd fix it but no dice. i even loaded battery monitor widgit and it registers plugged in and unplugged but non of the stats come up or refresh.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
Just questions to try to understand a bit more. If you go into Spare Parts app and check battery information what does the battery level and scale say, and does the battery voltage change as you let it discharge.

Also when you say different ROMS, have you tried say running CM7 of an SD to see what this shows?

in spare parts the readings never change. i have tried cm7 same thing!

Wow, I have the EXACT same problem!! Well at least yours say 41, I'm stuck on 29%. I've tried the same things you have, but I'm still 29, :( . I check the threads on occasion hoping for a solution but nothing. It still functions fine, I just never know when it's going to cut off on me, because I never truly know how much battery life is left. I just try to charge often till the lite is green, then I know I have time.:o
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Go to CWM recovery and wipe battery stats. Some people say it helps, others it does nothing. But it won't hurt anything to try. Also only use the stock charger and stock cable to charge.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
OK, so I tried the unit in the car and placed on the passenger seat. It received a signal but keep losing it. I then moved it closer to the dash by the radio and it kept the signal much better. The third scenario was I placed it lying down on the dash and it kept the signal with no problem, or loss of signal.

Conclusion on the GPS is that it is definitely better with ICS update but a stand alone GPS it is not, unless it is mounted on your win shield with some type of Mount. Problem is that it then blocks a good potion of your view.

Here is a link to the video I shot this afternoon during my drive to test the GPS function. Please dont atempt this on your own... I am a profesional http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFoo_jMWOE&feature=youtu.be

Standing in my yard it locks on a signal within 20-30 seconds and grabs 11-13 Sat's and locks on 10-12 of them.

Now that GPS does work it makes it much more difficult to return, except that it has some minor screen bleed on the upper right side of the screen. Other than that the tablet is amazing with the update. Desisions, desisions
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Two observations...

1) Your route was a short straight line. There are algorithms in most GPS s/w to compensate for signal loss. A straight line doesn't show how well the Prime was actually keeping up with the satellites.

2) The jumping and stuttering of the arrow signifying your position would indicate loss of signal.

There are some videos posted of a G-Tab using CoPilot. You'll see the difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
Who on earth would use their tablet for a turn for turn navigation? Dont you have a smart phone? The only thing I would want GPS for is weather etc which probably wouldnt need too much of a signal
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I do. And I'm tired of people that don't questioning why anyone else would.

You

do whatever

you

want. Nav s/w makers wouldn't be offering tablet-ized versions of their products if people weren't buying them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
It was meant to show people that the tablet did lock a signal. It wasn't a trip to Canada. I had absolutely no lock on Satellites before the update not in my yard and most defiantly not in my car. Now it locks without any issues, both in my car and in my yard. Some my find the information useful while others may not. Do with it as you wish.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
So your telling me you put your tablet on your dash and look at it? What kind of phone do you have? And how is your vision?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
I don't use it as to Navigate, it was just to demonstrate that after the ICS update I was able to lock on to a signal. Before the update I had Nada.
