[HTC One X] BenPope:
So the battery is 1800 mah. Let's assume, worst case of 2 hours screen on time. That's 900ma drain. The battery charges at around 4.2V, but I doubt we can take advantage of the extra voltage from the 5V charger. So, in order to charge the device during worst case drain, you need more than 900ma. A 1A charger is probably around about that by the time you factor in any losses.

Typically during the first stage of charging (constant current) the battery charger will allow (up to) 800ma into the battery, after an hour or so that will start to drop as we switch to constant voltage charging, after 2 hours it'll be about half the current (but it doesn't drop linearly - at this rate, the battery will it'll stop drawing current and be fully charged after around 3.5 hours).

So if the battery is near empty, and you're using the device to the max, you could, potentially, use up to 1.7A. If the battery is fully charged, no more than 1.0A (probably less) when used to the max. This explains why the device gets hotter when i's being used and on charge whilst empty, but not when full.

Having said that, I think the phone will limit to 1A, in case the charging device is not fused, to prevent things from melting.

Yeah, don't use a Y cable, I doubt it will buy you anything over a decent 1A charger, and could damage the charger or phone.

In a really simplified model, electronic components can be considered resistors, you encourage current to flow with voltage, and the current actually drawn from the circuit then depends on the resistance (less resitance, more current). It's not like you can push more current through the system by presenting it with a bigger current source, since the (recommended!) voltage is fixed.

That explanation is very simplified and my electronics lecturers would kill me (if the could find me after all this time), but for the purpose of this discussion, it suffices.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
I cant say I understand entirely what you just wrote :D

But I guess you confirmed what I wrote up, that when the device is full even my charger is enough to keep it fully charged while used.

However when empty, the 1A is not enough while using. (From what I understood there). Not even to keep it on the same level when near depletion.

So to conclude or sum this up we should have 2 cases of ppl here who are able to charge it while using.

1. ppl using 2A+ chargers, where the drain wont matter.

(either cuz it can deliver the current the device need with enough spare, or cuz it gives even more, just to be on the safe side)

2. a combination of

less drain, due to apps and configuration of the phone lets say (or weather etc) (and the battery aint dead)

charged battery and we can forget about the drain, as we are able to keep it charged due what you said

combination of the above, finding some equilibrium between those cases.

So the recommendation would be as someone said up (am not good with names)

1. use a 2A charger (to be on the safe side, as 1A charger due to the mentioned above might not give you enough)

OR

2. charge your phone prior to your travel if you cant use a 2A charger (or lets say a charger that can give the phone what it needs)

Am I correct here?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I've said before that chargers are typically cheap crap, if I was building one I would use some form of 7805 regulator and if I'm feeling generous an led with a resistor. Because they are cheap crap, manufactured by less than honest companies, when they say they are 1A, they might not be. So yeah, buying one with a higher rating might get you nearer an amp ;)

If my guesstimate of 900ma is close, I think the variance in whether it charges whilst using GPS is probably down to whether the charger can supply more or less than that amount.

As to the same charger can keep it full of juice when full vs letting it drain when empty, that's a bit more tricky and will require some wild speculation on my part: Since the 900ma use figure (that I essentially plucked out the air) is close to the 800ma charge figure (which I also guessed), it's possible that some people have the numbers this way round (usage higher than the maximum charge rate - battery drains) and some the other way round (usage lower than maximum charge rate - battery charges). That could be due to a number of factors, but I'm going to pick one that I think is most likely; temperature of the battery. I think (haven't checked) that a warm battery will charge slower than a cool one. So, when the battery is low, it requires more current to charge, creating more heat, causing it to charge slower and more likely to drain, etc., and such is the vicious circle.

Back to my 1.7A number; The phone runs from the battery and the charger charges the battery. Since the battery can't be fed more than 1A (more likely 800ma) without damaging it, to approach the 1.7A figure, the phone would have to be able to charge the battery *and* run the phone from the charger. In order to do that, the chargers would have to be of much higher quality, or the phone would have to have two or better power regulation circuits (more cost).
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Can you be generous and build us a good looking and honest charger? :P

Was thinking to buy me a AC/DC converter to the car something about 75W or 100W and use the wall charger that came with the One X.

But as that's cheap cr.p as well, wont help me there I guess :) (The car 2A I have is also original htc ... ....)

Will ask colleagues for some of theirs generic chargers or dig out my old one from somewhere to test.

Anyway again thanks for the explanations and patience with me.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
No, I will not build you a nice looking charger, but I could replace the innards of a nice looking charger, but it will cost you more than a decent charger ;)

Using a 12V[1] DC battery to drive an inverter to give you 220V AC which you use to drive a transformer that feeds a full wave rectifier that feeds a regulator that outputs 5V DC is somewhat complicating matters ;)

[1] Actually, they are nominally 14.4V, but you get the point.

Oh, and you're welcome.
[HTC One X] moyse007:
Damage on HOX with 2A ?

Is there possibility of damage the phone using a 2A car/wall charger ?

like the samsung 2A page2 for example, or generic 2A car device on EBAY ?

Thanks
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Read my last few posts.
[HTC One X] moyse007:
Yes, i'm confused, i've already read your post but don't understand all technical sentences about mah/charge :( Sorry.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The phone won't draw more current (amps) than it needs. So no, a normal 2A charger won't hurt, but also, unlikely to make any difference. Just make sure that the phone says "Charging (AC)" and it'll be able to draw up to 1A.
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
No danger in doing that, it will be connected in parallel, so still supplying 5v
[HTC One X] moyse007:
Ok thanks for your explanation BenPope :)

So even though we buy a 2A charger , the device reach his limit at 1A only maximum isn't it?

Ok, so we better have to buy a "really/official" output 1A car charger than looking for a 2 or xx Ampere charger (because it's useless)
[HTC One X] siaosi:
Following my last post, HTC has replied to me to say that they don't have a real solution. Just charge the phone to the full and kill all background apps. That's about it
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Okay now I am confused? Who is right? BenPope saying I will damage the electronics maybe and I shouldn't do it. Or Rusty?

BenPope, we already established that I have an original htc charger, and that my phone says Charging (AC) but it doesn't draw that much. I see how you wrote this. But I still would say its irrelevant to the problem as all of us probably have Charging (AC) :D

I mean this is beyond the USB, or AC charging :)
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I said it might cause damage. The Y cable would have to be wired correctly and be able to carry 2A and the charger might not like it, depends if it uses one transistor for the power output, shared by both outputs, or separate transistors for each output. Wiring two 7805s in parallel will probably be ok, but nobody would recommend it as a design. And as already stated, the phone won't draw more than 1A anyway.

As to the second part, I was replying to somebody else. To get AC charging, you need to connect the two data pins together (I dunno if shorted or through a resistor), not all chargers do that.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Yeah I know, not attacking you there :). Sorry if it came out like that.

But earlier someone suggested that we do not get enough charge is cuz we don't have Charging (AC) . So wanted to point out that having

Charging (AC) doesn't mean it will be able to charge against the drain.

Saw your maybe, and should and etc. You was and are correct there :) . But as said wanted to point it out.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yeah, it's ok I get it. I was responding to somebody saying that if it says AC, you can't do much better. You were saying that even if it says AC, it might not be enough.

Yeah, sucks. :)

Having hotmail as my primary email, every time I send an email from the phone it shows up as my hotmail username and NOT my display name. For example, instead of showing up as from "John Smith" it shows up as "jsmith". I have not had this issue on any other phone including Galaxy Nexus, S2, Note, One X and the iPhone.

Would really love any kind of assistance to get this fixed!

Thanks!

I recently flashed to the uclf5 galaxy S3 r4 rom with mohans kernel and I love it. The only problem is the Data connections. The original APN that installed in the flash would connect and had great speeds but would not allow me to send or receive picture messages. Standard text's were ok but no pictures.

I looked around google and the XDA forums and tried a couple of new APN's. I finally got one that would connect and send pictures but it wasn't connecting to 4G LTE only 4G, 1st world problems yes but I wanted the LTE. as I continued searching I managed to get one to connect to LTE and still send pictures and everything was working perfectly, Except now the phone randomly disconnects from all connections with a little circle with a line through it instead of connection bars and obviously no data or phone calls. If I toggle back and forth between APN's I can get it to connect again but it's very intermittent sometimes it'll stay connected for hours other times for just minutes.

I originally had the SKYICS Superlite Rom installed and didn't have any connection issues what so ever and i'm completely at a loss as to what's going on now.

nice! where can get your app?? i looked in the play store but it wasnt there
[Android Apps and Games] Varience:
thanks for the interest,

Strangely, the app isn't easily found in the play store. I'm guessing its not popular enough yet.

The link is under the pictures in the first post.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varience.triggerlimited
[Android Apps and Games] Varience:
Those with a Samsung device can download Trigger from the Samsung AppStore for the free version without the six gesture limitation.
[Android Apps and Games] Varience:
Trigger just became even better than it already is!

Now introducing 2 New Panels: NotePad Panel, ClipBoard Panel!

Have you ever seen such a clean and beautiful notepad?

Now its easily one gesture away!

One Tip: For those who don't want to always have the Trigger icon on the screen, you can now switch to using Trigger as a Home Launcher.

Double Tap home to launch the gesture field, there's no need to keep the icon on the screen anymore.

[Android Apps and Games] shameemindia:
:good:excellent app.. long tym user of trigger.. trigger pulling something that separate this app from hundreds of other gesture based Apps.. few suggestions from my point of view.. it will be handful if there is additional pull direction like southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest direction.. And also need additional SPL actions like back button simulation, kill task. kill all task, menu similar to aokp ROMs and lmt launcher app.. ..glad if they make into oncoming update..
[Android Apps and Games] Zorigo:
Perhaps one of the best apps I've seen in quite a while. Seriously well done, from looking fantastic to being fantastic.

One constructive criticism, perhaps change the gesture panel enabler icon. Or allow us to choose another one. I personally wouldn't mind a simple grey translucent triangle that i could position in the top left corner of the screen. Unobtrusive and not unsightly at all.

must admit.. its a brilliant start... testing the app now...

one thing i noticed... If i keep the icon in the corner, like suppose the middle screen right corner then the swipe right option doesnt work..

similarly if its at the edge, like bottom right then the swipe right and swipe down options dont work

keeping the icon in the middle of the screen kinda defeats the purpose of it being unobtrusive .. just an opinion

Re: [APP] [2.3+] Trigger - Now with New Panels!

I'm afraid that's not something I can fix if the icon is placed in the corner or sides.

It's a trade off for putting them in certain locations.

Personally I keep mine close to the side, but with enough distance to still activate the actions.

However, maybe the next update will help.

Next update includes pulling the trigger in 8 directions! 4 more quick actions to work with, so it might make putting it to the side or corners more agreeable.

What's the battery drain like on this app? If it runs constantly on top of all apps, must be noticeable?
[Android Apps and Games] Varience:
Re: [APP] [2.3+] Trigger - Now with New Panels!

Barely any battery drain at all. The only part that runs on top off all apps is just the tiny icon. Nothing else runs unless you touch it.

You can think of it as just your app containing one additional image and even if you leave it there, it won't affect the battery.

Unless you choose to change the icon to display the time or battery instead. Then it's more active and might affect the battery a little bit.

Hello, I've tried this app, awesome work and it seems to be extremely customizable.

However I can't think of a reason how this app can replace gmd, is it clipboard/note function?

Maybe you can emphasize on the differences to increase appeal of this app :)
[Android Apps and Games] Varience:
Re: [APP] [2.3+] Trigger - Now with New Panels!

I've never tried GMD, so I can't compare.

But I did read the description and GMD requires root whereas Trigger doesn't.

Both apps offers different kinds of actions that can be triggered with many similar actions.

I'm not sure if GMD will interfere with some apps that has its own multi-touch capabilities.

I guess the main feature of Trigger that I can emphasis over GMD would be Pulling the Trigger.

You can set any action to be activated by pulling the icon in one of 4 directions.

With my next update, I increased it to 8 directions.

This might offer an advantage over GMD because you can activate 8 different actions depending on where you swipe the Trigger.
