[HTC Titan] kid1988:
Yes, this is because Whatsapp is continiously checking for new messages using your cellular connection. This means the modem is ALWAYS engaged, and you're practially always connected.

Some random website gave call time spec: Up to 6 h 50 min (3G)

This seems about right with your battery usage.

Being connected with 3g basically counts as talk time, Since the mic and speaker are the least of your worries battery consumtion wise.

Normal synchronisation like email is set at 30 minute (customizable) intervals.

This saves a lot of battery power.

Basically, this goes for any app that uses a continious internet connection (e.g. browser, ad supported app, online navigation, chat.)

Note that in some research a while ago someone tested battery usage in games, and it turns out that displaying ads uses more power than running the game itself (assuming the game is off-line).

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/mzh/eurosys-2012.pdf

Whatsapp is one of those apps that uses continious internet connection.

Also recieving email's "as they arrive" also drains power. So does facebook/messenger chat and any app that refreshes their data in the background frequently OR that is ad supported.
[HTC Titan] qualo:
I'm using whatsapp, receiving messages during all the day and my battery stands with no problem until night, 16-18 hours. I think that the battery problem is more related with the time you are writing messages, with the screen, our huge screen, on.
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
I have had Whatsapp on since day 1 and never had any issues with battery and Whatsapp.

If you do continous chat for 6-7 hours I think your culprit is your screen brightness and CPU that keeps your phone locking and unlocking! I get occassional messages on Whatsapp throughout the day and I manage to reply them whenever I have some spare time. Same with emails.

You can even try anything that will keep your phone "awake" in foreground i.e. keep communicating via emails or e-books with screen on and data on - you will have battery drain.

But same activity on intermittent basis will not cause this drain.

Also, your network coverage - the farther you are from the network masts, the quicker you will drain your phone. Sadly we can't do much about it unless you live in a super-connected area.
[HTC Titan] Inopia:
@jpmalum: are you using push notifications?

@kpn: actually, WP7 has a completely different background processing policy compared to Android. Incoming notifications flow through MS's push notification service which greatly reduces network access. Periodic polling by apps is restricted to intervals of 15 minutes minimum, and device wakeups for different apps are coalesced to avoid each of them generating its own 3G tail like on Android.

Also, KPN should really fix their network settings, tail times on the KPN network are ridiculous, the modem stays in FACH for up to a full minute! I am aware that this is probably better for browsing but come on, a _minute_, really?

I have some power traces from a Galaxy Nexus with a background process doing some network stuff once per 5 minutes. On KPN, the app uses 277.59J/hour, versus 182.05J/hour and 205.47J/hour on TMobile and Vodafone respectively. The difference is not due to signal strength, but comes purely from tail time. Hopefully fast dormancy and the new enhanced FACH state will fix this in the future, but they require carrier support to work.

(full disclosure, I'm a PhD student doing research on mobile phones)

I use the Sony Tablet S for Skype and the microphone Skype as I'am travelling around the world atm in cities with varying broadband speeds so it is not my broadband speed and I know it is not Skype as my friend uses his ipod touch to Skype with minimum problems. I was wondering if I could plug a headset into my headphone jack and speak through the microphone jack?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
The tablet's stereo headphone output jack also serves as a mono microphone input jack, so a headset with a microphone can be connected to the jack.

I like to use my Nexus to track my cycling rides, and I am currently using Endomondo. I think the battery life is fair/great but soon I will be going on a long ride for charity, (210km, about 7-8 hours) And I don't think the battery would last that long, I don't even know if ill be able to record it all on my phone, but do you know what gps app you get the most battery out of? I am unable to compare myself since all my rides are different distance & times.

Both Strava and Map my Ride are pretty good... great features, and in use by some of most serious cyclists I know. GPS is going to drain your device fast no matter what app you use though.

When I log into Asus Membership (vip.asus.com) site there is an option "Warranty extension activation" in the menu. I think someone mentioned that Asus offers extra 6 months of warranty (but I might be wrong). Anyway, when I click it, they ask me about "Contract code from Warranty Card" and "Password from Warranty Card". My warranty card is a little brown booklet with a serial number sticker on it. No contract code, no password.

What is this warranty extension about?

Scotty Holmes: is this out there?

James: Unfortunately this update is not available for your device.

Scotty Holmes: oh.....thats erm...unfair lol, will there be an update?

[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
you got what i got but in a longer fashion lol
[HTC Salsa] chris...:
kinda related but this pisses me off with the amount propriety and closed source stuff out there it prevents unpaid developers from improving a product, which would generate more sales. A good example of some relatively open hardware/software is the raspberry pi, it does have a single binary blob for the opengl but that's it. This makes the product very popular as the developers are pretty much unrestricted in what they want to do with the device and it has gotten some other companies a bit worried, sales wise. I fail to see why these android phones companies don't open there phone more and release newer code, most of the phnes have similar hardware and the source code most likely exists in other kernel release anyway so what is there major malfunction? About the only thing I can see is HTC thinks like this.

1. You bought a HTC phone, HTC is the best and you love HTC

2. HC does not update an updateable phone and provents the cstomers from keeping it updated

3. Loyal customer buys a new HTC phone

in reality

1. Customer buys HTC because he hears good things abot HTC

2. Cusomer decides to buy an older model because he just needs something basic and the newer models are not

3. Customers tries to update phone but gets pissed off that he cant

4. Customers tells everyone it generating bad publicity

5. Customers buys another brand

If it was up to me id be up to step 5 but its the phone i got for my wife who is on step 4. The stock ROM was very dodgy and the app storage space is very low. I have since fixed those issues but its still not a great phone

HTC Desire C kernel anyone??? no :(

[HTC Salsa] theschneidi:
Hi, today I contacted the support at HTC to ask for Android 2.3.5, why the Chacha has it and the Salsa not. Maybe they give me some useful answers.

It is very strange that the Salsa doesn't have a support page on the German HTC page. Ther is only a "Page not found" :(

@Go.Bin

Very interesting, that the Desire C runs only with 600MHz .. maybe it is possible. Only one thing is different.. the ROM is there 4GB ... I don't know if it fits on our 512MB. Best choice would be to put it on SD card.

Is it possible to boot an Android image from SD card like the HTC HD2 does to boot Android instead of WinMobile?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
No to both above.

Each handset has a specific kernel...we have tried many kernels from various devices and most don't work....the ones that do, have screen flicker and other problems.

Our kernel has been released and i am learning the process of building them...its taking time of course so please bear with us
[HTC Salsa] nikzcool:
when u say the above wad exactly u mean....wad kernel hav been releassed..i only have access to the stock kernel...ny new release or udates that u hav made extracting it...

i havn been arnd frm lng...but i was working on building up a kernel...nd i must say it isnt easy widout help...

so i wld lov to hlp in any progress u hav made...
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
i mean by this....

Take Stock kernel on HTC website which they have released.

open it up and modify it, make it what you want

OC it

Make it compatible with everything we need so we can use it for CM7/CM9.

No i agree it is very hard making kernels, it took days to download the data required, around 15gb roughly on Ubuntu which is needed to be able to create a kernel cm7 rom

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Doky73:
no, not really, because Nandroid backs up the /system and /data partitions on filesystem basis, but Odin requires raw partition images.

It can be done by some ADB shell command or by writing a CMW zip by dd-ing the boot, system, data and cache partitions, and tar-ing it into proper format.

Busybox and root required...

If I understand well, Your friend's mobile is on stock ROM, and/or updated via KIES.

Then query the following data from your friend's mobile:

From dialer *#1234# current software versions, and PCODE from *2767*4387264636# !

If these are ok, then you can check the firmware available for download at

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

- cygwin not required for this

- adb and terminal emulator is not preferably, because when you have ADB access, then your Androd is currently running, and there are a lot of open processes, files etc.

- most preferred way is to write a recovery script to dd and tar the required images.

it won't boot, only tmobile mytouch 4g logo freezed, if i enter hboot and try to factory reset it freezes, just that, found and tried PD15IMG sd card, with msg too old....

PD15IMG_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed

so is there any stock or newer than 26.13.04.19_M, so i can flash it to stock, or how to downgrade, if there is no root or temp and it doesn't boot, or i have to use jtag?

thank you very much indeed
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No root, doesn't boot to the point where you can connect through ADB and temp-root (or ADB turned off), stock, S-ON and on latest OS build already - I'm afraid you have nothing to do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atv:
hi

thank you very much indeed for your attention

i believe that i can conect it as adb if i put it in hboot, but how to temp root if i read, that the version is not rootable only after downgrade, maybe edit to downgrade?

hopefully, im trying to help a friend with this phone, and i dont want to try jtag only as the last option
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
ADB only works in the OS. Since you can't boot the OS even to initial stages, ADB won't work.

You can connect fastboot in bootloader, not ADB. But fastboot won't allow you anything before you're S-OFF and have engineering bootloader flashed. There is no operation to S-OFF the phone from bootloader, you need OS for that. And again, you don't have OS - you can't boot.

Which leaves you with nothing to do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atv:
well

so it seems that either or i get the newest ruu or zip, with the same or newer rom, or the real chance, is that i should use jtag to fix it, i have 2 samsung ace, 1 hd2, and maybe after those ill try to solder this one to fix the boot, i was hopping to avoid this but not a chance, i have the tools and some experience, so lets do it

but thank you very much indeed for your time and help
