Battery Current Widget... go to the options (top right), change the current selection(should be first row, then middle row) to "HTC Sensation" (it'll be more accurate)

that program doesn't accurately report mA if you don't change it(before changing, it'll be screen-off deep sleep 100mAh, but after switching, 10-40mAh)

I don't have Juice Defender on... autosync and data is on all the time

try w/o wifi on... i think wifi should take less battery power than data, but it always depends

on my screenshot, if you go back one and click on the screen-on... what does it say?

what does CPU Spy say about your phone going to deep sleep?

Maybe you should try to mod the Atrix Lapdock... if it works, you get a larger screen and a 35W battery

if you are only getting 8 hours uptime with 1-2 hours of usage, then your phone's not going to sleep properly... I'd reflash the RUU, then flash Energy ROM and faux kernel... i had that problem before I reflashed RUU (but that was before I knew more about CPU states and mAh usage on this phone, so I don't know if it was a problem with the deep sleep, or the phone not properly updated to ICS when I got it from someone else)

you want to try to max battery life? I can give you hints to hit that mark... it's all about physics/electronics

your battery is 1900mAh.... Using Battery Monitor Widget(with the Settings changed to detect the phone as "HTC Sensation", see above)

With the tweaks in my first post of the build.prop, BMW shows my idle around 10-40mAh..... 10 hours of idle = 100-400mAh. Note, this is with sync and data on... if you use Juice Defender or data off, probably less

So, idle, you use up 400mAh... you have 1500mAh left

1500mAh / 6 hours = 250mAh each hour.... with BWM, it shows that the current usage goes between 100-500mAh depending on how much screen brightness, data used, processor speed... If i choose powersave, I think it goes between 50-300mAh, but its really laggy, noticeable

300mAh * 6 hours = 1800... close enough :D

to avoid the 100%->90% fast drain, employ bump charging:

either

1) charge your phone to 100%. remove plug, wait for it to drop to 90%. replug it, charge to 100%... repeat for 5-10 times

2) charge your phone to 100%. remove plug, shutdown. Replug it, wait till the light goes green, boot up, charge to 100%, remove plug and shutdown, replug it , wait till light goes green etc.... do the cycle for 5-10 times

I was trying to see how much I could get out of my phone. I used my phone as little as I could, putting it into airplane mode when I slept.

ROM and Kernel: I was using the latest build of Energy and Faux Kernel v.15 at the time of the picture

Using stock battery, unfortunately I do not know what the highest battery temperature is.

[HTC Amaze 4G] paperWastage:
unfortunately, for this device, the screen brightness and dual-cpu takes up a lot of power... if you see the pic below, when you use your phone(screen-on/awake), the battery % left has a sharp drop

I know for my old phone, LG Optimus T, I didn't have a data plan... the phone had data off all the time, and I got days out of using it(phone calls, wifi/browsing, checking gmaps offline)... once I enabled a data plan, it got half (like 1.5 days instead of 4)

if you calculate your usage... its possible

24 hours * 50mAh during idle = 1200 mAh

2 hours * 300mAh/hour during screen-on usage = 600mAh

total = 1800mAh, the capacity of your battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] icepixie:
So if I use either of those 2 methods above, is my battery 'cured" of the 100% to 90% fast drain? Or do I have to keep doing it over a period of time?
[HTC Amaze 4G] paperWastage:
bump charging only helps you for that one time... you have to do this every time if you want max battery capacity

the problem is 2 things

1) the hardware/software is configured to maximize battery lifespan, meaning to slowly charge it and not go to 100% (high voltage, damages battery)...

2) the hardware/software is poorly coded, can't read the battery voltage properly...

either way, doing this means you are forcing current into the battery every time...

your battery will hold less charge in a few months if you force it to full everytime

... so you have to get a new battery aftera couple of months or live with lower capacity
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
I will just try to observe it better tomorrow using all those apps. With much less usage (1.5 hrs of screen time), i only got 11hrs of battery life. The screenshot below is for those 1.5hrs f screen time... I dont use jd and got email sync every 1 or 2 hr though....
[HTC Amaze 4G] paperWastage:
I tested the idle-deep sleep capacity of the phone...

got 21 hours idle, 17 minutes screen-on (minimal use of phone) with 50% left

here is my phone with data and auto-sync ON, I got roughly 10 emails(all received during different times), had about 10 minutes of phone calls

NOTE: around the first part of the graph, you see the %-left spike up... I rebooted my phone then... and you can see that the battery-monitoring software/hardware part recalibrates itself to the real value

NOTE: cell standby-time of 21 hours used more battery than screen-on of 17 minutes.

When I used the phone for another 15 minutes, screen used 35% of battery while cellular standby dropped to 22%

tl;dr, using the phone, especially the screen, kills the battery a lot more... not using the phone = lasts a long time
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
I guess after using all those apps that you mention, I can kind of see that Amaze battery is just way worse than my G2. I was pampered with my G2 battery life for a week and now I realized how bad Amaze battery is. lol

I got 11% left after 12h 15min. That's about 1550mA used (I use stock battery).

almost 3 hours of screen time (3*350) = about 1050mA

25 mins of phone call = ~120 mA

about 8h 45 mins of idle = 360mA

So, yeah, it summed up about right this time (more accurate compared to my first result where I think I got a rogue app)...

**I am eagerly patiently excitedly waiting for a fully working stable CM9 by sport :angel: :D :D **

On a side note, just wondering if anyone know if galaxy s2 have better, worse, or about same battery life? I am just curious since s2 is supposed to be amaze rival at t-mob....
[HTC Amaze 4G] broker32:
Here's mine

Rom: Fourth Bar Jellybean Fusion

Kernel: Faux's Kernel, latest edition [August 15th]

Average Temp: high 90's

Average Battery Life: 5-6 hours.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Realize that what you do with screen on makes a significant difference- If I play organ trail(awesome zombie game styled after old school oregon trail game) I can play for a long time with little battery drain.. but it is a 2d game, and not going to be very processor intensive. If I play final fantasy 3, a 3d game, wow.. battery will drain much quicker, but then again, it IS a 3d game, and processor intensive. So HOW you use your phone is even more important than the screen on time.

With the latest faux(17) kernel, and 2-3 hours of screen on, the last few days I have 45% battery left after 15 hours since unplugged. Maybe 30-45 minutes was organ trail, but not much other gaming. The only changes I made, were made to the kernel, which I posted here(be aware that making all those changes will create some small lag changing screen orientation or opening app drawer, but haven't noticed anything else). http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30298629&postcount=4

I also underclock to 1.2ghz- this doesn't create any lag, and no game or app I have used seems to work ANY better @1.5ghz than it does @1.2ghz. The main difference is the voltage it uses at max speed will be less @1.2ghz.

If you have weak 4g signal, there is an app i recently posted in some thread that puts it on 2g while screen off.. that has helped a lot too. If you have constantly good signal, then it won't make MUCH difference(tho 2g does drain less than 4g even with good signal), but it takes up to 2 seconds for it to switch to 4g after screen on. I can wait two seconds before opening an app, I don't care.

I assume you have used betterbatterystats to see what apps keep your phone from deep sleep, under partial wakelock?

And when I get obnoxious drain, but NOT because the phone isn't going into deep sleep.. I turn on the logging of an app called currentwidget- it can actually measure the MAH used while using specific apps.. the app itself can cause a bit of drain, but you'd only use it long enough to see what app is so battery inefficient. I have more about how to use that under battery savings part of the bible in my signature.

Edit: And I consistently get battery temperature of 77.7-77.9F, I always have, no matter the kernel or rom or settings.. perhaps it raises a TINY bit when I play some intensive game, but never noticeable. I am using an anker battery tho, so if you are using stock, perhaps that is a factor.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
Whoa... I suppose there is someone out there with similar condition with mine... I almost thought I am the only one

Good to know that. I used a different app to check the current mah and it seems reasonable. I forgot to use better battery stat; but, based on cpu spy, the deep sleep time seems about right... I haven't updated my kernel to v17 (still on v15) and haven't done any edit that you mention since I was still switching roms to find the ROM that suits my need. I might try to do those stuffs today and hope for the best.

And btw, I am kinda jealous with your battery life... 45% left after 15 hours unplugged and 3 hours screen ON :eek:

I might get similar result; but my battery left will be 10% :mad: and those screen on are mostly on flipboard, xda, and browsing....

Like right now, 6h 10min unplugged, 40 mins of screen on (xda & flipboard), and I am down to 66% :crying:

**On a side note, I just get my hand on gs2 and I am just curious to try and see how good it is since gs2 seems to be such a hyped up device compared to amaze.... :laugh:
[HTC Amaze 4G] icepixie:
Just checked my usage. I'm sorta similar to yours in terms of screen on time. 11 h 43 m since unplugged, 39 min screen on (facebook, news, texts) and I'm down to 62%. My screen on time isnt that high, yet something else is draining my battery.

Awake time is 1 h 44m. Lots of Alarm Manager partial wakelocks. :( need to figure out what's causing those
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
Umm... that's pretty different. lol. You are in a better shape than my phone (5 hours more of idle time and just 4% less battery)... My phone usually eat 2-4% on average while idle (I think)
[HTC Amaze 4G] icepixie:
^ did you get better battery stats to try to get a better idea of what's eating up your battery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] paperWastage:
there's no way my phone can hit 3 hours screen-on with 45% battery left and 15 hours idle...

the math somewhat checks out either... 3 hours * 250mAh (lowest brightness + low CPU usage) + 12 hours * 35mAh(some acount syncing) = 1170 /1900mAh ~ 40% left... assuming that you don't have the dreaded 100%->90% quick-drain

do you have the screen brightness on low or auto, and syncing? I'll try underclocking and volting to see how far I an strecth mine out

from searching and reading, the S2 has better battery life

do remember that the battery detecting circuit on this phone isn't the best... if you reboot, chances are that your battery-left % will increase 3-10% as the circuit recalibrates
[HTC Amaze 4G] edwill44:
I'm not a good typist so...
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
lol. His phone has such a fantastic battery life right? hahaha. made me jealous :p

Btw, I just tested s2, it's only been 2h 45 min with 1 hr screen on and I am down to 73%. It is still stock unrooted; but, I guess the battery life is not that "much better".... It is better; but, doesn't seem like to have a very huge difference... Although the battery on S2 is only 1500mAh compared to my Amaze which has 1730mAh

I have to admit I like the larger screen and the fact that usb otg is working right out the box (don't use it much, but still a plus); but other than that, the build quality is just.... :rolleyes: Looking at the speaker grille (whatever that is on top), the Amaze looks much more elegant. Now I understand why people said Amaze looks like a much finer build after literally comparing them side to side...

I would like to restore to stock.... but all I can find has links that don't work or are on Rapidshare which I just don't know what the heck I am supposed to do to get the darned files.

I have been using CM 7.2 but things have basically stopped working, and I had hoped that now the stock rom was mature enough that I could use it. However I am afraid I am at an impasse. My Nook Color is stuck at "Touch the Future of Reading" and I can't even turn the unit off.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TioSolid:
Hi guys, just got my S2 and im loving it. Already flashed CM9 stable and its very nice. Since I moved from an iPhone 3GS, something is really bothering me. Is there any way to turn the screen on briefly as soon as I receive any notification? I dont mind installing an app / editing / hacking / my phone etc to achieve the result but this is one thing im really missing from my iphone. One example is that I always miss sms / whatsapp messages while on the gym because i cant really hear my phone ringing with the loud gym music.

So, anyone could help me with this matter? I tried using the BLN app but the CM9 rom doesnt have a compatible kernel :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Welcome to Android.

I'll answer your questions in no special order add follows:

1. There are indeed many kernels compatible with BLN and CM9. Examples include, Siyah kernel, fluxi kernel, dream kernel etc

2. About notifications, search for 'iPhone notifications' in market (Google play), many alternatives will also show up. This app (or any alternative) will solve this your problem

Hi,

I have an HTC inspire 4G, after upgrading the radio using the files in this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106324

After rebooting, the radio doesn't work anymore, the phone asks for the PIN code and accepts, but after this the radio is not available, I can't make calls, GPRS nor 3G working (but WiFi is working)

I tried many radio versions but with no result, I even flashed differents versions of ROM, but the radio stays inactive.

Any suggestions ?

PS. I tried to post in the radio section, but I wasn't given the privileges to post there

Thanks for helping me

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvogel:
Sorry to ask a noob question, wondering if I'm posting in the right place. Got an s3 to keep my unlimited data. Reading it says that Verizon can tell if you tethering to a computer due to TTL packets. I don't know much about networking but reading it says that windows computers while tethering push a value of 124 or 128 packets unless configured while android devices have a value of 64. The thing is I never tether to my computer only my tablet. So can I safely go nuts tethering to my tablet as if it was my phone due to it looking like I'm using my phone or am I way off and can Verizon tell I'm tethering and using my tablet. I really just want tot tether the hell out f my tablet when I need it. Anyways as this is XDA can I hide it safely?

For those curious, the official build is up:

http://get.cm/?device=d2vzw

However, this build likely does NOT include the RIL/MMS fix that cvpcs submitted. You can check the status of that commit here:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/21492/

I would advise using cvpcs's unofficial pre-alpha build until this commit is accepted, as it will result in much more stable data, and completely working MMS.

Will do! The first things I'll confirm will be:

- does MMS work on restart/number get restored (seems it will according to the link I posted)

- Can I install Wallet on it?

- Is it no-kexec (I assume so based on release date but we'll see)

If all of the above is good and there are no major issues elsewhere I'll be dd'ing it a while, very likely with imo's 0.5 kernel :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jugger naut:
I flashed the 8/16 awesome, slicker than snot on a door knob, clean as a whistle and fast as hell, but not a daily driver at least not for me, wonky data seemed to get better signal but dropped often, mild screen flickers every once and a while, had issues with netflix, nfl mobile, MMS worked but I had issues signing into xda for some reason, and after booting back up after a cwr backup I lost my data (IMEI, MEID read unknown) restored a backup and they were all back to normal......I think I sharted :eek: a little but luckily it was easily remedied.

I completely wiped everything even internal sd went back to bone stock, rooted then unlocked. Waited 10 minutes before I even touched the phone after flashing, said three hail Marries, and threw a horse shoe over my shoulder lol

I highly recommend wiping everything and going back to bone stock first for one it will rule out any ghosts in the closet that may come back to haunt you, and it also keeps the forums from clogging up with people asking for help getting rid of those ghosts, you're more of a control when you start from scratch and when you have problems you won't be using up the devs valuable time hunting down wild geese, that have nothing to do with CM.

No thank you is necessary....well if you insist the button is there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Okay I've only just installed Euroskank and it booted up without issue. Looks/acts exactly like CM10 as far as I can tell:

- no-kexec so unlocked bootloader is required

- phone number/MMS was restored on reboot

- NFC gets grayed out when checked like CM10 8/16 1820 (?), so Wallet isn't likely to work

- Additional display settings available "Automatic backlight" that seems to be to help prevent flickering or sudden brightness changes in general. A lot of options in there:

* Light Sensor Fitler

* - Enabled (Apply moving average filter to sensor data to reduce flicker)

* - Window length ( Filtered value is the average sensor value during this period)

* - Reset threshold (Samples deviating this much from current average resets the filter)

* - Sample interval (Low value can improve accuracy but uses more CPU)

* Light levels

* - Use custom

* - Screen dim level (Brightness used to dim the screen)

* - Edit other levels

* Allow light decrease (Enable to allow lights to decrease. Use hysteresis to reduce flicker)

* Decrease hysteresis (Sensor levels overlap this much downwards)

So far the screen brightness transitions do seem great. I haven't really noticed a brightness changes seem very slow and there has been no flickering :)

I'll use this for now. If it stays well maintained this may stay my dd for a while :good:
