[HTC One S] RobertRobot:
Ah ok thanks.

I'm connected to the internet the entire day. Today (16 hours now) it was 11 hours on wlan connected (at university and at home), so we have 5 hours left on 3G/HSDPA, maybe sometimes EDGE with low reception.

Is it better if i either use wlan or 3G or is it better to be connected to wlan if available and if not then 3G? Because when I'm on wlan I am also connected to 3G (not for internet usage but for the rest).

Strange questions, i know :confused:
[HTC One S] mattionline:
No, it doesn't matter if you turn on both as it will disable the mobile network (3G/EDGE) once it's connected to WLAN.

But 5 hours connected on 3G, 11 hours on WIFI and almost 3 hours using the device (screen on time) is just insane ! :eek:

Especially when you still got more than 30% left :cool:

I shouldn't try that with my Wildfire S, I have to disable 3G as it drains my battery completely within an hour, especially with low antennae reception :mad:

Thumbs up for HTC and Qualcomm, finally a phone with decent battery life :D

Can't wait till it's released here in Belgium, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait till the end of April when it's available here :(
[HTC One S] Jazd71:
left mine on stand by to see what the drain was and it was down to 91% after 18hrs 58 mins.

Did another check at 91% after using it fairly reg emails texts etc and 91% came up at 5hrs 37 mins, will be using it more frequently tomorrow.
[HTC One S] QuintusDias:
Excellent!

[HTC One S] Jazd71:
Here's my latest battery info if it helps.

http://t.co/femwEeV3
[HTC One S] mattionline:
Thanks.

Can you check how long the screen was active?

It's always interesting to know that ;)
[HTC One S] RobertRobot:
I guess it will not be long, because it only says 40%.

But I'm interested too, so lets see:)
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
mmmm, battery life looks really promising :) I hope with my usage it can handle 2 days easy, then I will be lucky with the phone!
[HTC One S] Jazd71:
Update battery now 55% after 21 hrs 32 mins screen on time 1hr 43 mins , will keep testing my wife's current battery is 73 % after 1 day 6 hours she hasn't had chance to use it much :)
[HTC One S] Leviathan2k:
Main battery consumer in any AMOLED phone is the screen, by a large margin. Even more so with the One S with the efficient 28nm chip. So it's reasonable that we see huge standby times (especially if one is connected to a stable WiFi), but large battery drain with a lot of active use.

What many people don't realise about AMOLED screens is that displayed colors are directly related to battery usage: showing black, the pixels aren't illuminated at all and use no energy, while showing white they are fully illuminated and need a lot of juice. This is different from LCD screens, those are always completely illuminated when on. This is why with apps you use a lot you should prefer dark themes on an AMOLED phone such as the One S.
[HTC One S] Glouferu:
Have you got more infor about battery ? thx
[HTC One S] Jazd71:
What info you after?
[HTC One S] mremolt:
We all know by now, that the battery is not changeable. But does that mean not changeable by us, or at all?

Would it be possible to send the One S to service after say a year and a half and have it replaced for a certain amount of money?

I mean, even IPhones can have their battery replaced, it just is quite expensive.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
it is replaceable, just not by standart user...
[HTC One S] jodue:
kind of a stupid question, isn't it?!

of course the battery is not welded to the frame and if it is broken it can be replaced like any other part of the phone. if you have some skills with repairing stuff i'm pretty sure you will be able to buy a battery replacement on ebay for some 20-30 euros and replace it yourself. however this would void your warranty. i would expect it possible that htc will replace the battery for you but it will be so expensive (100-150 euros) that it will hardly be an option. modern battery'ss deteriate much slower, i think we will still have ~80% in 1.5-2 years. at least it was like that with my galaxy s ...
[HTC One S] Settembrini:
I changed form X to S.

Main reason: battery life.

I still have both devices and made a little test. I did exactly the same thing with both phones.

This was the result twice:

One X 20%

One X 45%

Indication Error

Indication on battery status is erroneous on both devices.

Do not believe you still have the battery percentage that is shown after a night's sleep. Both devices showed the same percentage from the evening, but when you use it for a couple of minutes the percentage will abruptly fall.

It's not only me who found that. Indication is often incorrect.
[HTC One S] Jazd71:
I have found the battery life on the one s the best I've had on a smartphone so far. Both my wife and I have them and are getting great results, the link is from my wife's phone screen time was over 3 hours

http://t.co/E0myotUr

After reading some reports on the one x I feel the one s is definitely the better allround phone and the right choice.
[HTC One S] mremolt:
Kind of unnecessarily rude, isn't it?

Components like batteries can be hard wired to the board so nowadays it can be cheaper for the manufacturer to replace the whole unit than repairing it. So it really might be impossible to replace parts on some phone models.

I basically just asked if anyone has already seen the inner parts of the phone and knows, how hard it would be to get it replaced.

I tend to keep a phone for more than a year, or even two (still on the original Desire) so this is a relevant information. The original battery on my phone really is unusable by now. Roughly around 40% if I am forced to guess.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
I'm pretty sure the battery life should be good after it settles in.
[HTC One S] GGWC808:
Well, I'm curious how this battery stacks up against the Motorola RAZR Maxx. My brother has one and I'm jealous of his battery life. He streams videos and plays games on his phone almost all day long and still has 30% or more by the end of the day.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
If my info is currect, then RAZR got 3,300mAh battery. HTC One S got 1650 = 1/2 of RAZR. I dont have S one, but I can tell you wont get that long battery life.
[HTC One S] McQueefus:
That is probably true the battery won't last as long as the razor Max but you can't really compare them just by the mah rating. I think most people forget that the one s has a 28nm Soc which could make a big difference.
[HTC One S] GGWC808:
Yeah, but I've heard the super

amoled screen sucks up a lot of juice.
[HTC One S] davidsteele1975:
Well, it'll help and it might make a difference compared with the other processor, but if the processor only draws a relatively small amount of power in the handset, you won't notice it that much.

What I mean is if you take a look at a power usage profile and see that maybe 60% is caused by the screen, 20% by the radios and 20% by the processor, halving the processor power consumption only makes 10% difference to overall power consumption.

So it's a bit like the pub-inspired fuel consumption discussion. I fill up every three months, so I get much better mileage than my buddy, who fills up every couple of days... right? :p
[HTC One S] Gaba90:
running since 25 and a half hours now with a lot of whatsapping, phoning for approx. 2 hours, a little bit gaming and some browsing.. sync always on

10 hours of that were over night without dropping a single percent of battery !

and now i have 40 % left :)
[HTC One S] nativestranger:
Thats amazing! One S and qualcom S4 are proving to be solid performers at the moment.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
whats your screen time and brightness?
[HTC One S] Gaba90:
at that time it was about 2h30m i guess, and screen brightness about 25 %
[HTC One S] masterkui:
I have been quite impressed with my battery life.....so far. I am on my second charge. when i first got the phone, i made sure to fully charge it before switching it on. the results of my first charge are distorted though, for the following reason.

i took my phone off charge at 14.30 and was given a battery warning the next day at 21.30 (31 hours). However for 20 minutes roughly, my phone was connected to my pc via usb data cable as i was transferring files from my pc to my phone. hence the distortion.

this morning i took my phone off charge at 07.00 and at 14.48 as i write this i am at 89%, made about 7 minutes worth of calls, and had my wifi on for nearly 6 hours, screen time = 40 minutes at 50% brightness.

quite happy with that, much better than my desire.
[HTC One S] GGWC808:
Well, it's been a couple of days since the US launch of the One S. Anybody got some battery life reports for the TMobile version of the One S?

Sorry about the re-post. Saw this thread later and thought this question would be better in this thread.
[HTC One S] bgaccord:
I get really good battery life on T-Mobile version . With heavy usage like 11 hrs with brightness at

100% . Medium usage 17 hrs easy

Love this phone
[HTC One S] kyle510:
To be honest i have a custom rom and i have been on it literally since 9.30 am est. To now 10.47 est and its aat 17% amazing battery life
[HTC One S] kaeruil:
I have to say, the battery life is awesome compared to my past phones. On light usage (about an hour of Pandora, handful of calls and messages, using the xda app, and surfing the net) I have gone 28 hours 40 min and still got 6% battery left. Even after heavy usage (streaming videos and music for a few hours, downloading all my apps, and some general phone usage) I had 20+ hours.
[HTC One S] GGWC808:
So how have you been using your phone? Amount of calls, used any apps?, played any games?, used GPS?, etc.
[HTC One S] nazem:
That's great, im hearing the same from alot of people so far
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
Got my phone two days ago. Yesterday was the first full day I had to test battery life. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. I streamed Spotify for about half an hour, rebooted it at least ten times trying to get into fastboot, and had an hour of screen on time before I was able to root it. After root, over eight hours I was setting my phone up, downloading ALL of my 150 apps, and tweaking settings, etc. I managed over three hours of screen on time while doing this, and when I plugged in the battery was still at 12%.

All of this was on automatic brightness, no wifi with sometimes very weak "4G" signal.
[HTC One S] NCRoadster:
So is 3 hours of screen on time the average for this phone?
[HTC One S] mannequin:
managed to get 4:30 hours of screen time yesterday, actually.
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
I put three hours screen on time at the low end depending what you are doing.
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
i have managed to get 32hours of work with my phone on my personalised use which includes mainly browsing, tapatalk, a couple of short phonecalls, and the occasional gaming.

I have installed and use the 2x battery app which i think made a difference.

Now when i unplugg the phone from the charger at 7am it takes me through to 10pm with about 40% battery left.

Yesterday i used the phone as a navigation GPS without plugging the power source and it went from 75% to 50% within a 10-15min drive when the phone was operational, and that was with the phone being on airplane mode. I would think that was expected anyway.

Overall im pleased with the battery life, but i would hate to think about the time that i would have to send it to HTC for a battery replacement in 2 years time or something, as their usual turnaround is very weak!
[HTC One S] Shash747:
I used my 2week-old One S quite a lot during its first ever charge.

And i didnt know i shouldnt do this, so ive had the battery deplete to zero a couple of times already.

Im getting about 13-14 hours of usage, with half an hour of calls and about 3 hrs of screen time, with continual 3G/HSDPA and a bit of gaming and LED flash application usage.

Earlier i managed to get 18hours with 3hours of calls and 3 hours of talktime.

It looks like my battery has deteriorated already.

Is there anything i could do to heal it and increase its life ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
When I connect my phone to my computer to share the network connection, it will connect for a second or so then disconnect. It pops up on my computer saying somethings been connected, but then disconnects.

I tried disabling USB debugging, but nothing.

If it's a driver issue, could someone share them on the forum? I cant download them from where I am now.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] hockeyfan:
Hi,

I'm still evaluating the Captivate Glide (I have 30 days to do so), but before I root the phone (and possibly void my ability to return the phone should I decide not to keep it), I would like to find out if this particular phone is compatible with the Sony PlayStation 3 bluetooth SixAxis controllers. There's an app which can be run only by rooted users which will indicate if the Captivate Glide is compatible with the PS3 controller:

http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/09/use-your-ps3-controller-on-your-android-phone-using-this-app/

Here's another link:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/237707/sixaxis_lets_you_use_a_ps3_controller_with_your_android_phone.html

Could someone with a rooted stock ROM please download this app, run it, and let me know if the Captivate Glide is compatible with the PS3 controllers? Perhaps even provide a screenshot of the results? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Wow this sounds great. Sorry that I am not rooted to be able to try it for you. I am leaving my phone stock as to not void warranty yet.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] tcfx44:
Unfortunately the compatibility check on my phone failed. I'm running rooted Rogers ROM
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hockeyfan:
Thank you for the confirmation. I'm guessing that the AT&T version will also similarly fail the compatibility test. Unfortunately, I think this is going to be a dealbreaker for me, as I was planning to hook up this phone to my HDTV and play games on it remotely via the PS3 controller.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hockeyfan:
Of course, I posted this thread before I found this: http://www.phonejoy.us/. It even looks like the PS3 controller! Heh.

Still deciding between the Captivate Glide and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gtdRR:
I have a AT&T version and just wanted to confirm that it fails the compatibility test. I wonder what will happen first or if either will ever happen. This App being compatible with the Glide or Cyanogen being developed for the Glide. Lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthRhyder:
Hi,

i used the CAB sender and updated my focus S to 8107 forgetting to back up.

I did not update the language files too and now my Phone tile doesn't work.

I need help to rollback to 7740. Anyone can help me? as i have no idea where can i get a rom for focus S to roll back :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
Just use CAB sender to send your language packs to your phone, same thing happened to me on my Trophy and after I loaded the lanugage packs the phone tile started to work. If you want to roll back to 7740 with out a back up you'll have to find a stock ROM for your phone and start from scatch (speaking from experience). Just load your language packs one at a time and you'll be good to go. :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthRhyder:
Thanks for the reply :)

I tried installing the language packs again but were unsuccessful. Not a single language :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
What kind of phone do you have?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheXev:
You need to use upgrade packages from 7740.. I'm guessing you have tried using full language packs that will "technically" upgrade you from original NoDo.

Check the thread "[CAB] Official WP7 Updates List: 7.10.8107 + ALL LANGUAGES complete + OEM updates."

Find "WP7 MANGO LANGUAGE PACKS (7.0.7403.0 - 7.10.8107.79) - All 22 supported languages", and use packages that say "...diff-7.10.7740.16-7.10.8107.79..." to upgrade whatever languages you have installed on the phone (assuming they worked correctly in 7740).

If you are installing the language from scratch, all of the packages must be installed from start to finish (so NoDo, then Mango+ updates).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenpipes:
u can download all the cabs for you phone and then start the sender, it will only do the updates it can. i did the same thing.

irig mic cast

I tested these mics in vegas (ces) and they both worked fine on my note:

w ww.ikmultimedia.com/irigmic

and

w ww.ikmultimedia.com/irigmiccast

I've ordered the small one here:

w ww.thomann.de/gb/ik_multimedia_irig_mic_cast.htm

They told me that it should be available in april.

Chris
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] MRS MILLS:
newbie here, looking for external mic info. one thing's for sure, you need to use the right connector. this is a 4 contact miniature jack standard to samsung and iphone. the nokia version is slightly smaller just to annoy people. the 4th connection carries external video connection so its' important to get the right audio connections, available from your friend google. also, you'll possibly have to tell the recorder which mic to use in settings somewhere. i use an excellent app called recforge pro.

good luck all

for the intrepid, as long as you get the right connections, any mic will do but the electret type are probably the best budget jobs. damage is extremely unlikely, unless you connect to the domestic electricity supply, a useful idiot-rid.

irig mic cast

Just an update on this:

I've finally received the irig mic cast and it works great with my note :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] richlum:
How does it compare to the inbuilt mic?

Any chance you could upload some wav samples of each under the same conditions for reference?

I'm thinking about getting it, or something like it, to use with Audio Evolution and Loopstack.

thanks,

Rich
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] springer.music:
It's definitely clearer than the built in mic.

Also it's got a small volume switch for high/low sensitivity.

Another thing is that it's quite directional, which means that it records clearly the audio source in front of the mic and pads the background noise.

I'll record some files for you over the weekend.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] richlum:
Thanks.

One other thing, can you confirm that the headphone monitor out on the Mic Cast works with the Note?

ie. if you plug headphones in, can you hear what you are recording?

thanks,

Rich
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] KnowHow:
Does the iRig MIC Cast work on the Note for regular phone calls and Voice-Over-IP apps like GrooveIP?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Egoexpress:
Hey everybody,

I'm also looking for an external mic however I'm after some sort of extension 3.5 cable to use the phone as a camera.

Cheers,

Ego
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] springer.music:
Sorry about the late reply. The real time monitoring feature is not available in any of the apps which I tested (e.g. Tape Machine Recorder, etc). I think that developers keep such a function disabled on purpose due to the well known latency issue on GB and ICS. Let's hope that google fixes this in Jelly Bean...

It works well for regular phone calls and skype, therefore it should work with other voip apps as well. If you use it for phone calls/voip you have to connect a set of hearphones/speakers to the sound output of the irig mic cast as the internal speaker of the note gets muted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] springer.music:
Just plug in the irig mic cast and then turn it around so that the front of the mic is on the same side as the camera lens. In this case I'd set the mic sensitivity switch to "hi".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] richlum:
Thanks for the info.

I just need to find somewhere that will deliver to Thailand now :-)

external mic

Hi there,

As I was poking around I stumbled upon the above extermal mike, the seller claims to be the only one selling compatible external wired microphones. I'll keep you updated as soon as I get my hands on it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dudgeman:
Hi

New to this forum. I play in a tribute band and we want to record some of our rehearsals. The camera on my note is really good but the external mic is waaaay too sensitive. I did use the supplied earpiece that comes with the note, which has a tiny mic, which worked really well recording really loud music off my mac speakers but not sure it will pick up enough frequencies in the rehearsal room. (I am going to try it live but in the meantime will and will put the recording of my mac up on youtube) However I used to use a Sony ecm ds70p on a mini disc years ago but it has long since gone. The live audio quality was always really good with this little mic so I am thinking of getting another one. As far as I am aware the Sony has only a three pole 3.5mm jack but I would need a mic with a 4 pole 3.5mm jack, (I think I have that right???) to be able to record into the Note.

Can someone confirm whether this mic will work out of the box...I have a feeling not...or is there a converter jack that I can buy that would allow the use of the three pole jack in a 4 pole socket. Really hoping this is possible and that there is something out there..problem is I am not too sure how to word a google or forum search on this.

Any help would be really great.

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dudgeman:
Think you guys might find this interesting. Just plugged in the standard ear buds halfway through and used the tiny mic on there...

This Microphone can't work. Look:

A headphone 4 pins (sound + mic) have 4 contact, beginning for the point are : Sound Left, Sound Right, Ground, Microphone.

If You see the 3º contact of microphone Sony is big then others. It make contact whit Ground + Microphne. Are short circuited.

Can't work this.

A external Mic can work but w/ a connector 4 pins, using only the 3º and the 4º contact (the 2 side cable).

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Look here:

http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigmic/

The connector have 4 contacts. The 1º and 2º from the point are the sound to white cable. The 3º is ground (common) and 4º are the Mic to black cable.

The question here is. This is a normal 3,5 pin like on Android's or is proprietary from Apple? On that site enter on Store and choice the Dealer more near You.
