Letting the battery drain to shutdown is not a good idea. Not good for long term life of Li ion batteries. Also, its unlikely, but possible that draining to shutdown will render the battery unable to take a charge. Fail safes on the device and battery are supposed to prevent this in theory, but in reality they don't always work. Several reports on this device of people that drained to shutdown, and then couldn't charge their battery.

The battery meter is not accurate enough to necessitate draining to zero. Just drain to 10 or even 20%, charge to full, repeat a couple times. No value added whatsoever to draining to shutdown.

I have easily gotten 48 hours+ with light usage on various ROMs, including ILWT and Virtuous Unity (which is Sense 3, and claimed by some to be a "battery hog"). This is with Bluetooth and WiFi always on, and no special battery calibration or battery saving apps.. So many things affect battery life. But my personal hunch is that the ROM, clocking, radio, and data reception in your area (and of course usage) have more to do with battery life than other factors. And with radio and reception being the really big drivers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lunarplexus:
That's definitely very helpful. I've always heard that rechargeable batteries are supposed to be drained completely and charged at least periodically to extend its life. Your proposition is contrary to this belief but then, I don't know that much about the battery and those aspects of the device itself to be able to refute what you're saying. Best to be on the safe side though.

Current record for my battery is 42 hours as of today. I'm pretty thrilled. My device was giving at least 10-15 hours less before I made these customisations. So I feel it probably has helped. However, there are a lot of factors at play, as you said.

Thanks for the response!
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
There are various types of rechargeable batteries with very different behaviors. What you mention is known as battery conditioning, where you periodically drain to (nearly) empty and charge to full, and is recommended for older type NiCd (nickel cadmium) batteries. This is to avoid "memory effect" where the battery will remember how much was discharged in past cycles, and not deliver any more than demanded before. Kind of a "use it or lose it" principle.

Lithium (Li) ion cells (the type on most smartphones) do not suffer from memory effect. And full discharge cycles actually hurt the long term life of the battery. Charging frequently is actually the best for this type of bettery. But a couple nearly full cycles are needed to properly calibrate the battery meter on the phone.

Hi, I have a question, is it possible to display the weather lookscreen as in the screenshot

if so, how?
[HTC One V] Quinny899:
Nope, that's full sense 4, the v only has lite
[HTC One V] :
In the weather settings, you can select the option for 'Weather alerts - Show weather on lock screen every morning' which I've found will appear the first time you access the phone after 6am each morning, but doesn't appear to be any other options to get it on your lockscreen permanently
[HTC One V] NoteGarner2020:
Yup I have done the same... I think HTC One V is not capable of showing wheather animations.
[HTC One V] like.that:
it's sad ... as one v does not support the full sense 4? ie on this phone is not a complete sense? complete requires more resources from phone? Why so?
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
sense 4 is designed more for a phone with better gpu such as one S or one X. that's why sense 4 was not released until this ONE series. it's a shame but I guess that in time when one V will have some developers, a full sense will appear for you guys :) and it will work flawlessly no matter what HTC was thinking when they strip to bone the sense for one V.

I will buy this phone in one month I can't wait :)!
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
Just wait a little longer until we have cwm recovery and some interested devs. We'll get an overclock kernel and a full sense 4 port from either the one s or one x.
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
yeah. One V will benefit from devs from X and S which is awesome (I can think one kernel dev from one X - currently on hero - riemer, but he said that kernels will differ from one x or one s to one v)... Full sense will be possible on One V also, it just needs a custom recovery. Anyone can do a port if he has patience and the right tools. If I get the phone I will more than sure get my hands full to make some ports...
[HTC One V] like.that:
certainly not true that one v cut a functional sense, most likely because the model is not the flagship, but we will wait custom firmware for our developers in the near future with a full sense :)
[HTC One V] impreza50:
Interesting that sense 3.6 on the sensation has some features that are missing on sense 4 on the one v.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
The bug CM has is not that... the power button bug is that you have to wait for the phone to vibrate twice, or it turns screen off instead of power menu;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djdant:
Yeah I am trying to figure out if I get an ATT gsm version would I get 4g speeds or would I be stuck with edge? I'm debating if I should do A trade or just go buy a nexus from google play.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
You will probably get 3-5 mb/s in non congested area or non peak time. Some areas peak higher. But I wouldn't expect higher than 3 mb/s anytime. And in my area that is stretching it from 8a to 3p.

teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crookone10:
I currently have an unlocked GSM version on ATT and I have seen some downloads as high as 8-9mbps down. I average around 3-5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
An ATT specific version does not exist. The GSM Nexus sold in the google play store supports HSPA+ with both ATT and T-Mobile networks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djdant:
Oh ok, the guy in the thread said it was an AT&T variant thats why I asked, usually ATT phones only get edge or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Yeah most phones are that way. The galaxy nexus had a penta-band radio so it supports both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Huh? not sure what you mean by that... If you have an "AT&T" branded phone and put it on T-Mobile it'll get EDGE only. And vice-versa. There are plenty of unlocked phones that will get HSPA+ on AT&T though, they just have to support the right frequencies (most do).

The GNex supports EDGE/UMTS/HSPA+ on AT&T. You'll get full speeds that any other HSPA+ device will get on their network. You will

not

get LTE.

You'll also get full HSPA+ support on T-mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
it all depends where you live..

Yes you will get 4G ATT speeds on your galaxy nexus... But you wont get LTE Speeds since it don't have a LTE Radio

i can get 5-8Mbps down on a good day..

but i avg about 2.5-4mbps

hopefully someone can help me understand...i run quadrant and its only showing 1 core...i know the amaze is dual core...how do u manage this?

the second core is on demand you can use system tuner to force all cores online to get better performance
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sent from my iced out HTC Ruby
[HTC Amaze 4G] Orical:
He's right (TGamble160 that is) there are some benefits of forcing the second core but it's not the best thing you should do for your device, the second processor is designed to provide loading process but forcing the second core to run all the time can over heat the device and cause damage that can't be repaired.

I actually came here to check out how people felt about the Amaze and to see if it was worth getting but I thought I would throw that bit of information out there because I've already had a device bork out because my neighbor loved the speed and didn't think to turn it off resulting in the burnt out paper weight.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:

how do you force the 2nd core in System tuner?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mylz1122:
first you must have root....in sytem tuner select cpu option....then boot setting...then force all cpus....works like a dream
[HTC Amaze 4G] tgamble160:
if you set system tuner to on demand it does not overheat the phone it still slows the processors when not being used but has them both ready for when they are needed. i keep both online on demand and my phone runs awesome! no overheating and still great battery life. however i set it to performance and the phone is blazing fast but does get warm and battery is gone in a flash.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bangsters:
does setcpu have the same capability as system tuner? I mean forcing the 2nd cpu to run?

Ahh thats where the setting is. I must have overlooked the options last time. Thanks button clicked for ya =)

Is it also possible to change the min/max of the 2nd core? cpu0 is at 192mhz, while the 2nd core stays at the default 384mhz even with the slider all the way down. thanks.

Eh, there is no field for entering Username I'm afraid. There is only field for entering your Mobile Number (Which is registered with way2sms server) and your way2sms password.

And, clear out the checkboxes of gateways set by default, and check only the gateway that you use. For eg:- It using fullonsms then select fullonsms like that.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] coolsandie:
You can use any gateways from the available list. If you have any SMS sending site based on Italy, and its not available in the app, better to email the developer for adding that gateway. Unfortunately I guess the developer had added gateways based on Czech, Russia, Slovakia, India etc.

Anyways the thing you have to do first is go to that gateway site (If way2sms then goto way2sms.com) and then register your mobile number over there and create an account. Use that credentials to login with the app.

Are you connecting your device to your computer via USB cable when it is requesting it?

Also are you working with a Sensation or a Rezound as I notice it says you have a Rezound in your signature?

What stock ROM did you try to boot?

Have you tried to use Super Wipe before you flashed a custom or stock ROM? If you do use this make sure select reboot to bootloader in recovery after you flash a ROM. Then use fastboot to flash another boot.img via fastboot before you try to boot your device into the ROM. The Super Wipe will remove your boot.img (your kernel) from your boot partition and if a new one is not flashed before rebooting into a normal boot (not booting into recovery or Hboo) you could brick your device.
