[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
My HTC Kaiser can survive more than 2 days with occasional 3G/Wi-Fi usage (about 1 - 2 hours/day) , SMSes, several short phone calls.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jcespi2005:
Same experience than Gogol, 1 day with intensive 3G (HSDPA disabled) usage (Push mail, etc.), or more that 2 days without 3G nor Wifi.

For me the battery is enough good, not as good as i want, but enough.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] amuneer:
Yep..same here..battery usually lasts 2 days. My usage is Wifi 20 mins/day, calls 30 mins/day, other usage 20 mins/day.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] danprodan:
Same problem with both HTC Kaiser and MDA Vario III - Radio ROM to blame?

I had a HTC Kaiser, which I sold, and now have a MDA Vario III. Both have the same short battery life (barely one day with very little use).

Battery droped from 38% to 32% in five minutes while I was on the phone with T-Mobile support.

Batteries seemed to be different though. My Vario III has a black battery - DynaPack, KAIS 160, 1350 mAh. HTC Kaiser had a white battery, and I believe was of different brand.

It reminds me of a similar battery problem with Trinity with one of the radio ROMs, excellent reception but very poor battery, same as Kaiser now.

I am getting a new battery from T-Mobile on Thursday - will let you know if it helps, but it does not look promissing so far. If it does not help, the device goes back to T-Mobile for sure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Strange,

But you need to check what are currently running in the background.

Check using "Settings->System->Memory"

That could eat your battery a lot :) Especially ActiveSync !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
S2U2? I am only aware of Slide2Unlock, not a version 2. I have the original one installed. I think I got rev 1.20, not the latest 1.21. But there have been some reports of draining with S2U. I don't have the issue, I don't think. But in his latest 1.21 rev he says he may have made some changes to address power draining issues. Tho the dev says he doesn't have the issue so he can't be sure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] athanaso77:
I face exactly the same problem! In 1 hour and the phone untouched... the battery went from 40% to 30%!!! Please let me know the results of your new battery.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
I just did a small test. My battery life sucks, usually having to charge the phone every 4-8 hours.

I took the SIM card out, rebooted the phone and left it set for 10 hours and never touched it (I used my Treo during this time). After 10 hours of just sitting, I lost 9%.

In my opinion, that is NOT a good battery!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] austinsnyc:
all HTC Kaiser model 160 come with the black battery
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GWelker62:
Taking a poll

My experience with a PDA phone, is with what I call "normal" use, one day is all the battery should last. I'm on my fourth HTC phone and the first three this was always the case. With the Tilt, it can loose 10% doing nothing. It's like watching the gas gauge on a 72 Chevelle SS with a LS6 engine. I dare say the battery will discharge 10 times faster than the previous phones. Since some are not having this experience I wonder if we can take a poll and find a common denominator. If anybody can think of some more variables please post them.

1. Which model do you have, Tilt, Kaiser, ect?

2. Which ROM are you using?

3. Did you fully charge your battery when you first got it.

4. Which SD card are you using?

5. Do you leave wifi or BT on?

6 What brand battery do you have & mAh?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jallenclark:
I used 3g connection and wifi for atleast 2-3 hours a day and make about 5-10 short calls. I also watched about 30 minutes of streaming video. I haven't charged my phone for 22 hours and I am at 37% which doesn't seem that bad to me. As long as it last all day I am fine with it. I just plug it in when I go to bed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jcespi2005:
Here are one site with lot of ussefull info about batterys, and how to make them work for more time...

http://www.batteryuniversity.com/

I have noticed that the battery goes down quickly if i have bad 3G reception, and the PDA is changing beetwen GPRS and 3G every time...in this case is better to disable 3G.

I have BT on all the time and use GPS with TomTom 30-60 min a day. And every time a can, i charge the battery (shorts charges). If you read the URL above, the recommendation for LiIon batterys are shorts charges many times instead of long charges and complete discharges.

Regards.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Tordrumguy:
I will have had my TyTN II for a week come tomorrow (Saturday). I have not been using HSPDA or 3G, but have kept up my normal usage of phone, text, WiFi, and playing around with the device every day to learn it.

So far I have only have to charge my phone once; will likely have to tomorrow.

While Lithium batteries are not supposed to have a memory, I have always used the practice of charging my batteries overnight the first 2-3 times and completely draining them before the next charge. To date it has served me well when it come to battery life on my devices.

Also note, most phones "quick-charge" to about 80-90% very quickly then trickle charge the last 10-20% for the last hour or so of charging. Not sure if this device dows the same.
[Huawei Watch] brotbuexe:
Hi,

anyone using tasker to change configuration on the watch and/or on the phone?

Watch and phone are rooted.

My first idea is to automate the display brightness setting by day/time.

Another idea would be, using the custom kernel, to modify the colors to simulate a sundown mode like I use on the phone via cflumen.

With this I think I could dim the watch in the dock too.

And when the watch is on AC (in the dock), the phone should be set to not mute notifications.
[Huawei Watch] abhanli:
If you haven't tried yet, Autowear Tasker plugin is almost what you want... but keep in mind to work through Tasker because you don't have the option to backup Autowear actions running on watch.
[Huawei Watch] foo:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serese:
Hey I have a Samsung S4 International, jfltexx.

Different ROM's are sometimes incompatible with some apps.

For example on Euphoria OS 1.1 I cannot install Vainglory from the store, but on Albe95 Lollirom I can install Vainglory from the store.

The app I'm talking about, Vainglory, is a game that's frequently updated and has lots of events that are time limited, waiting for a 3rd party site to upload the apk takes too long and some events might be missed which is a huge loss for me.

My questions are : What causes this?, How can this be fixed?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serese:
Just a reminder, I know that 3rd party sites exist but those only give you the apk for the game which will bring up an error as the game needs to come with an obb to be installed 3rd party. And as said, it will take a lot of time, usually 2-3 days, while most events are 24 hours only.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasCGQ:
I don't know why. But my ZenFone 2 running XOSP has it compatible. Maybe because it would detect your device as jfltexx and marked it as incompatible...

And if I try to copy the update.app to de dload folder of the SD, and then power on the smartphone, it doesn´t work...

So, there is any solution??

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Kran0n:
I have been unable to find this issue online, which makes me think I am in a small minority that is experiencing it. I received my Gear VR, and it is a fun piece of equipment, though definitely not something I would have spent money on. I watched some Netflix and it played smoothly, though I saw pixels like people were saying. Nothing that can be done about that.

Here is where I experienced a problem. Oculus video says you can play your own videos from your library. It is true, however, I tried watching an hour long video last night and the video would periodically lag while the audio stayed on pace. As such, the audio got ahead of the video. I was able to remove the headset for a second, put it back on, and continue with everything synced again but it would continue to happen throughout the video. Has anyone experienced this, or know of a way to reduce lag so my videos on the device's drive can run smoothly? It was very annoying, and makes me think the Gear VR will become a paperweight if I cannot resolve this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] daveid:
I found it works best with h.264 video and m4a audio, I had similar issues as you describe wirh AC3 audio.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] C0derbear:
I've seen that happen with *other* devices when a particular audio/video stream was more challenging to decode. I'd assume that using sub-optimal encoding for a video would give the Oculus Video significant "heartburn" in decoding.

If your source video isn't in-spec I'd consider transcoding it into most-compatible spec. That won't require any specific video transcoding tool, it's not a 3D specific process, and the tool of choice will depend upon what OS you run on your computer. For me under Linux I use AVEIDEMUX for this kind of work, generating an MP4 container with AAC 128Kbps audio and the h.264 video stream. I haven't watched a full movie in VR yet but those encodings have worked well for my previous devices (GS5, Galaxy Tab S 8.4, and Nexus 7 2012). It also works for playing 4K video smoothly off SD on my GS7.

no need to relock the bootloader.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
A word of advice: don't relock your bootloader. Sometimes an OTA can fail, leaving you with a soft-bricked device. The only way to get it booting again is by flashing the factory images with fastboot, which you'll need an unlocked bootloader for. If it isn't unlocked already you'll be forced to do so, wiping all of your data in the process, data that you won't have access to in order to back up first.

Tl;dr: leave it unlocked, you'll probably regret it otherwise.
