[Desire HD General] Dlog:
Our electronic profs at uni (who actually know what they are talking about) told us to keep the charge between 80% and 30%. Discharging to 0% only harms the battery.

So i'd really like to know where it's suggested that you should discharge to 0% once a month.

btw: This is a quote from the link from the op:

"The smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid frequent full discharges and charge more often between uses."

So i'd say that discharging to 0% once a month is nonsense and only harms your battery ;)
[Desire HD General] scaryshark:
I read that a while ago on the iPhone support website and did that for my old 3g, I just kept the practice running when I got my DHD. I guess either Apple is wrong or its only usefull for non-removable batterirs. :)
[Desire HD General] Zeitraffer:
That's probably why their batteries died so fast.
[Desire HD General] Whiteshade:
gotta voice in here. i've also heard that its optimal to keep your battery in the 80%-30% range. and that its only damaging to fully drain your battery.

but on the flip side, its kinda needed to do a wipe battery stats once in a while, so i can get a better reading of my battery.... was a time when i hadn't done it for ages, and i was at 1% battery while watching a movie for 30 minutes..

so, I recommend at least, to DONT drain your battery.. but if you are getting really off readings on your battery. do the wipe battery stats thing
[Desire HD General] AllEyezOnMe:
My DHD battery seems to be getting worse and not holding its charge. as it's almost been 18 months I decided to buy a new OEM battery and I was jus wondering how should I run the 1st few cycles? And how long will it take to reach its optimum capacity? Also will I need to wipe battery stats and calibrate it?
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
No Calibration is a hoax, and battery stats are wiped whenever DHD is unplugged with nearly full charge (link to follow from one of the Android devs, don't have it to hand whilst mobile)
[Desire HD General] brad808:
I used to worry about battery, then i purchased two of the cheap Ebay ones for like $3 they each hold about a day worth of juice. let the haters hate on the cheap batteries but it's $3! If they are of lower capacity (which must be miniscule because i can't tell) or they die early who cares. Buy a few of them and be done with it.

[Desire HD General] Zeitraffer:
Why buy many batteries, when you can have 1 quality item?

Cheap batteries can also be a security risk (exploding cell phones e.g.)
[Desire HD General] rootingdestroyer:
how should we go about that? play heaps of games? increase brightness? or do you mean drain it slowly like over a day?
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
You shouldn't, draining batteries fully is no longer recommended practice
[Desire HD General] AllEyezOnMe:
how to charge a new battery?

I still haven't received an answer to my past post. I've just got a new OEM battery and i wanted to know how should i run the first few cycles? is there a certain amount of time i should charge before i unplug it or do i just treat it as i would with a normal used battery?
[Desire HD General] Dlog:
Suggested initial full charging/discharging cycles are ONLY made to train your phone and NOT your battery and in most cases aren't even intended for current android phones.

Those mythical suggestions are often based on facts for non-lithium rechargable batteries.

Nowadays rechargable lithium batteries are often shipped at least half full. So what you can and should do is just use the battery and try keeping it between 30% and 80%. That's all you have to do.
[Desire HD General] AllEyezOnMe:
So are you saying i shouldn't even charge it to 100% :confused:and what about the recommended monthly full charge to complete discharge to calibrate the battery?
[Desire HD General] Dlog:
Well you can charge it to 100% if you want. That will reset the battery log of your phone, so it can't hurt that much.

But charging it for an extensive amount of time will bring you no good. The charging circuit in your phone and in general the charging circuit used to charge lithium-ion batteries will stop charging once the battery is full. That way it prevents the battery from overcharging. But it also means that charging your phone for any more time than it needs to won't make it run any longer.

The monthly complete discharge is not to calibrate your battery as i've allready stated. It is used by the phone to better estimate how much power your battery can currently hold. So in a sense it's used to calibrate but not the battery itself but the battery statistics in your phone.

The phone knows how much energy the wall-charger provides and can thus determin huch much power is stored in the battery once it hits 100% (or better: reaches it's maximum voltage). If you have a charge from 1% to 100% then the phone can obviously determin the battery's capacity more accurately than if you charge it from 50% to 100%.

/edit:

And yes. If you really want to prolong your batteries life then keep it's charge between 80% and 30%.

But just see to it that the charge is above 30% and you're good.
[Desire HD General] AllEyezOnMe:
Ok thanks for all the information your help is much appreciated :)
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
How so? Battery stats is wiped when you unplug the nearly charged phone, so where is this historical data found?
[Desire HD General] Dlog:
beats me^^

My point was that the calibration is done for the accuracy of the percentage displayed and not to make your battery hold more energy, regardless of what phone/device you use.

And i'm using Battery Monitor Widget so i tend to mean that when i talk about the "historical data". Because BMW really does tell you to run larger charge cycles to increase accuracy. It however doesn't tell you that constantly running your battery down to 0% will only shorten it's lifetime.

This value pack actually translates to u will never get ICS. Its looking less likely that an ICS rom will ever appear frim any modder. They r worse than samsung they tease us with how good it is yet never let us put it on our devices. Stinks awfully like vapourware to me. A device less than 6 months old has been dropped. I will never buy another samsybg product again. as of now this piece of crap galaxy is going onsale and i will buy from someone else. abyobe else buying from samsung look elsewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] shaifeyna:
Samsung will update the next models with a special ”value pack” update.

- Samsung I9000 Galaxy S.

- Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus.

- Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL.

- Samsung I8150 Galaxy W.

- Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab.

This Value pack will be available upcoming months.

You could get a update via KIES or OTA (over the air)

What means: ”value pack”

A value pack is a special update for smartphones to give them a extra boost.

This value pack will give you things like facelock, small interface changes, battery and speed.

All value packs are based on Android 2.3.6!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
the reason these manufacturers deny us ICS is the claim that our devices can not handle ICS and their useless customization like touchwiz (Samsung) and sense (HTC) together. Emphasis on the "claim".

Now Samsung sold over ten million galaxy s and w who knows how many.

Can we just force them to release pure ICS and say screw touchwiz... or at least release the drivers so that our beloved and capable developers here port ics for us.

There are so many users unhappy with this treatment of the manufacturers.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] alidsd:
At-least Samsung should release source code so that drivers could be compiled in latest Kernel.

Guys be patient... arco is working on a great rom. its very hard to port cm9 specially if you dont have the right drivers so do arco a favor and dont put pressure on him.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
And what sources did he compile from? That's right, it was from *my* sources, which *I* made freely available by choice, so others could learn from it and maybe help contribute. What you refer to, is exactly why most other developers keep their device config private, so some random guy doesn't release unfinished and broken builds. Maybe I should just do the same?

Guys, is it possible that the value pack is only for galaxy s???

The announce says that galaxy s, s plus, w, etc will receive a gingerbread firmware upgrades; the upgrade for galaxy s include the features of ics...they not say the features are for all the phones...

If it so, now we receive a new gingerbread firmware, maybe 2.3.7...than can we hope in an ics upgrade in future, after s2, note, and others???

I know it's only a little hope, but maybe samsung wanna upgrade first the top phones, and after few months also our w...

Very daft of Samsung to use the same old TW UI...makes it hardly feel like a major upgrade.And the performance improvements are only slightly noticeable which makes you think about how polished GB already was.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crucian4:
I am running stock 2.36 with EL29. I would like to be able to tether and install an Internet unthrottle tweak I just saw and keep everything else stock. Can someone suggest the best path to achieve this? I have used the phone stock for about 2-3 months. It does about everything I need in its stock form. I miss these two things from my old Palm Pre.

Also, if I root to achieve this will I have to unroot and remove those tweaks to update to ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I am not familiar with this tweak but if its more than just an app then it shouldn't be kept through such an upgrade. If it works with ICS then just redo it. There is often not much harm in trying to upgrade without wiping everything but you can face many problems with the causes of which being unknown just makes it more heartache than its worth.

Since the zerg exploit no longer works your going to be rooting the phone the same way your going to be rooting ICS. ODIN over a rooted tar for EL29. This can be done now in a no data fashion on your stock phone and you wont lose any contacts settings or apps. Once any changes are made to the system, possibly this tweak trying to allow an over there update can be disastrous.

Right now many of us are running leaked ICS roms that were prerooted and flashed via ODIN or custom recovery on EL29 or other gingerbread roms. If you have really messed with the system and even if you havent it would probably be advisable to backup your contacts and data and flash the phone with the intention of wiping everything on it, wether this is ODINing over the data destroying version of the tar or using Calkulin's format all in custom recovery.

With the tweak out of the question rooting your phone now and getting rooted ICS later is as simple as flashing a tar through ODIN. Sfhub has many "One Click" odin's packaged up ready to go in both no data and regular form. Sometimes final builds are leaked before the OTA but at worst you probably wont have to wait more than 48 hours after ICS is released to get the latest stable build from here.

Hello!

I recently flashed the Classicnerd Butta 0.0.3.

It has USB not proper working.

When i go into recovery, i use this command:

adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fbmode
adb reboot
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot CWM5-F1.img

But since usb does not work, there is no adb. No adb = Problems.

The the boots without problems.

So the question: how the heck do i get adb back?

adb devices is not showing anything
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
is'nt there a option to turn "usb debugging" on somewhere in the options

[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
There's something wrong with CNs USB file transfer utility, mine always FCs when I try to enable it. Assuming you want to transfer a file and the file isn't too large just upload it to Dropbox or other cloud storage then download it to your device.

Alternatively, you could get WiFi File Explorer Pro and upload files to anywhere on your device, not just the sdcard.

Hope this helps

You should still be able to issue fastboot commands regardless.

Ok so long story short I had a bad flash because for some reason I was unable to fully copy over a ROM to my SD card (my phone was constantly dismounting from my computer without me clicking disconnect). Now, I am trying to return to Stock via Odin. I have downloaded and unzipped the correct md5 file for the Stock rom for 2.3.6 and put my phone in download mode and ran odin with the md5 file. Now I am stuck with Odin saying this

"ID:0/004> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> T989UVKL1_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL799405_REV00.tar.md5 is valid.

I have been stuck here for nearly 20 minutes, I have no idea what I should do. Do i pull the battery? restart odin or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ElYukiPR:
What Husman is trying to explain, if you have issues connecting/disconnecting to your PC, there's a HIGH probability this going to happen again while you're flashing your device with Odin. As he suggested, get the battery off and try to flash it again with a better cable (not a cheap one).

come on man atleast copy my name right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
LOL

OP:

Your phone isn't even bricked. Your phone Turns on, the screen is on, it displays something to you, so it is not bricked.

It looks to me like it didn't even flash the stock ROM on there.

BUT FIRST... what ROM were you trying to flash that was odinable? I don't recall any except the stock ones....

It looks like you got the right stock ROM.. and it looks like you already pulled your battery since you got stuck at ODIN.. hence the firmware update error screen...

You can either pull your battery leave it out for a couple minutes and and get back into odin/download mode and try flashing the ROM again or get a jig to get into download mode... this time use a better cable and try another port...

If it gets stuck at setupconnection again.. do not pull your battery. Your phone has not done anything yet, it's still in odin mode.

SO close odin, change USB port, and start up odin again. repeat until it finally flashes. also switch cables if that doesn't work either.

instead i, found framework-res/res/values/bools.xml

i changed these bools to true:

<bool name="cm_default_is_tablet">true</bool>
<bool name="cm_default_has_soft_buttons">true</bool>
<bool name="cm_default_bottom_status_bar">true</bool>

i also chmoded the permissions of the apk to 644 after pushing it. also cleared dalvik cache. but i still cant see the soft button stuff in tablet tweaks...
