Here's a fun one: set up a script that uses fastboot to flash a radio image via fastboot. Set it to choose a random number between 1 and 10, if it chooses the correct number for the old radio it's buh-bye G1. Just sure you have 1.33.2005 SPL installed.

If you hadn't noticed I'm bored.

Haven't tested this but i assume it would work.

1. Get an spl.

2. Have a hex editor.

3. Open spl with hex editor.

4. Randomly replace values in the spl.

5. Sign the spl.

6. Flash the spl.

Hello everyone,

Getting my G2 tomorrow ad was wondering what's best to do for the initial charge ?

What did you all do and how do you find your battery because of it ?

Cheers James
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immya:
hi there mate

I did a 3-4 hour charge until the battery was fully charged...the orange led charge thing goes green and its fine then

right now im managing to get a day with heavy use, which is good
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
Thanks immya

Any other advice please ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos42:
I atcually do the same. But i repeat the process of fully charge and discharge the phone completly about 2-3 times. So the battery gets well trained. I repeat ist about every 2 months. I know it should not be relevant with those new batteries, but i found out it is, and the battery last longer.

jut my 2 cents

Cheers,

Chaos42
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
it's 2009, just charge it and use it.

when i got mine the battery was ~1/3 full, i charged it till ~2/3, then had to leave and completed the initial charge like two hours later, all works fine, getting somewhat between 4 hours and 3 days of usage.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
Hey chaos42

What do you mean should not be relevent with the new batteries ?

Is there some sort of new batteries with the newer phones ?

Thanks

James
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos42:
no, what i meant was what immya just said. that with the modern Li-Ion batteries you should not worry to much about how and when to charge. I just wanted to add that even it is 2009 i observed a far better battery lifecycle and stamina when you try to take care of your batterie. and charge it as decribed. that's my experience. at least for the initial 2-3 charges.

cheers,

chaos42
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
not that i am trying to discredit you here (in fact i would be very interested in such numbers myself), but did you do any tests or comparable setups to check the difference? because if we are talking about "a feeling" that you have this is IMHO not really relevant data. i would like to see two identical phones in a (at least) similar environment, performing the same tasks the same amount of time a day, and with that getting different runtimes on the battery for a period of a few weeks. these two phones don't need to be heros necessarily, as long as they have the same type of battery and can produce

comparable

results, but as long as this doesn't happen i myself rely on the tone on li-ion batterys in general. which is (and i am not able to quote or prove this): they are robust in terms of regular charging, and worrying about wearing the batterys in or training them isn't worth the effort. again no discredit here, but as long as no comparison has taken place there is effectively no data to analyze... just too much variables.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
NiCad batteries work best when fully discharged before re-charging otherwise you get what is called the memory effect. If you are in the habit of topping up before being fully discharged the better 'remembers' how much you let it drain before charging it and then get's the idea somehow that this is what its capacity is and goes flat at the point that it 'expects' to be recharged.

NiMH batteries are much less prone to memory effect. They are the ones that need the 16 hour first charge then subsequent charges are shorter.

Li-Ion - lithium to its friends - are not supposed to suffer any memory effect at all. You are supposed to be able to top up as and when you want without any detrimental effects.

None of the above batteries will last forever and will need replacing after 2 or 3 years of daily use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanPratt:
Absolutely spot on!

These days batteries do not require dishcharging fully before recharging. Even if the person in the phone shop says "ensure you charge it for 12-14 hours before you use it", this doesn't matter - once the battery is fully charged, it stops charging itself anyway - even if you leave it plugged into a charger!

;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorRVL:
Same as what's being said already.

To add, it's even better to keep your lithium battery topped. Fully discharging them is actually bad for a lithium battery. Full discharge and heat is what's bad for a lithium battery.

For a nice reference, check this: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/lithium-ion-battery.htm

(the life and death part is what might interest you)

On a more interesting note. A long long time ago I got a MDA Compact aka Qtek s100. And there was a lot of debate here on the forums about the initial charge. In the manual it was stated that you should charge it for like 12 hours or something the first time. Then people obviously also said that was bull, because it had a lithium battery.

But! As for WM2003 it didn't save it's whole registry etc on the ROM but in the RAM. Once the battery was dead, bang! hard reset right there.

So they included a little NiMH battery in the s100 that would keep the RAM 'alive'. And that was the reason it needed such a long first charge, for the NiMH cell.

And for some reason a lot of manufacturers take an 'old' manual text for the first charge of a battery. Although that doesn't happen that often anymore. Especially in the beginning a lot of instructions of how to use a lithium battery were just plain wrong. And they put NiMH or even NiCad instruction in there!

Edit, some instructions as found here (http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm). Talks about laptops, but it's the same nonetheless.

hi guys,

you can use morphgear:

http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx

you have to take the base and the SNES module

and then to play in WVGA use those files (put them in the skins dir of morphgear):

http://rapidshare.com/files/178085630/GBAMacOSX.txt

http://rapidshare.com/files/178085629/GBAMacOSX.bmp

start morphgear and select the "pad" panel choose the emulator and select the "Gameboy Advance OSX" skin

that should do the trick

have a good day and a happy new year

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
No, you can't set virtual memory to have the priority. If you have a user.conf and userinit.sh you can change the swappiness value, which I'm assuming would mean more virtual memory is utilized.

you need to update your opera mobile to 9.7 beta. you will then have flash lite 3.1 support.

that is the best you can get, short of using skyfire (google it)

you will NOT be able to play most flash games (farmville or mafia wars on facebook for example)

hope that helps

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] strikeIII:
I was wondering what others are experiencing as far as battery life on their TP2 or other variants?

My experience so far has been very disappointing. As soon as I unplugged my device and sent one text message it went down to 95% and watched it drop to 94% shortly after. 20 minutes later I'm down to 90%. I do have some things running in the background; Email (Outlook Exchange, 2 Gmail accounts that check for mail every 2 hours) and palringo mostly but that's it. I've even turned off 3G with no help. Has anybody experienced this as well or do I just have a bum battery? Please shed some light on this for me. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nephelyn:
I sync with various sources every 15min via 3G, definitely have a bum battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tralik:
I have the Tilt 2 and, coming from the Tilt, have been very pleased. Worked a night last night and removed the phone from charge at ~11pm. Used internet for a total of about 30 minutes and a few various apps for a short time. Used net again in browser for another 30 minutes this morning. Not a significant amount of use but right now, at 1:30pm, I am at 80% charge (standard battery meter). My Tilt would be probably 30% by now or worse. The net really seems to suck the life out of it.

I would think you have a battery issue unless you're using different battery software. It might not be reporting correctly. Either way, something's up. Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AdamDawes:
I have an unbranded Touch Pro2 and have been very pleased with the battery life on my device, it's much better than any other similar device I've had before.

I tend to leave the phone enabled for about 12 hours per day and have the device auto collect emails hourly. I have WiFi enabled all the time and frequently use the device for email, web browsing, RSS feeds etc.

Even when I've been using the device a lot I tend to get about 3-4 days' use before the battery gets low. Even then it's probably no lower than 20% so I could probably carry on a bit longer if I wanted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] prjkthack:
I'm using a Tilt 2 and so far the battery experience has been excellent. Its so much better than the Fuze (which would nearly be dead before dinner time).

I have Outlook set to sync every 60 minutes, Windows Live set to sync every 30 minutes, and I'm a heavy texter. I also like to play with the applications when I'm bored (like Google Maps w/GPS). So I use the phone quite a bit throughout the day.

It does sound like you either have a defective battery or as someone mentioned, your battery software isn't reporting correct battery levels.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bgalb:
Battery Life

I have an unbranded TP2 and use it mostly just for the phone and a little bit of WiFi and one sync a day. Also play games and watch movies. The phone is unmodified and I can watch a full length movie (from the storage card) and be down only one bar on the battery. I could probably watch two full length movies without any problem. Normally I top my battery off every two days, but almost never go lower than one bar down.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] g2tl:
Palringo could be it...

Check background processes and see if there's anything that's cpu-intensive
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sdbe:
Try it without Palringo. From my experience with the Tilt and the Fuze it is a battery killer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e_dogg:
The first 2-3 days I had my Tilt2, the battery seemed to drain really fast. I even charged it up before using it like the manual said to. By the end of each day, the battery was at or below 50% which really surprised me since my Blackjack 2 would last about 3 days on a charge.

After religiously plugging it in every night when I go to bed, the battery life seems to have stabilized. I haven't done any tweaks, hacks, or ROMs other than hide a few TouchFLO screens that I won't be using. I have bluetooth, 3G, and push email enabled.

So, give it a few days and it might get better. I think it might be the battery driver trying to equalize itself or something. If you don't see an improvement, maybe a warranty exchange is in order?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SoapDoctor:
Had a sprint TP2 and I was lucky if it wasn't shot by 9pm everyday. Have a tilt2 now and I'm getting about 2 days out of it.

Battery life isn't bad for me. I think it a little better than my Kaiser (original Tilt).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
I've traditionally done battery usage measurements for giggles, done it on my last few phones, and so far my measurements on the Tilt 2 are equivalent to the Tilt I replaced.

Backlight on 100% is a little higher, I suspect the backlight itself is brighter. The idle and standby is the same, battery usage with Flexmail online (2 online imap mailboxes) is the same, I believe the GPS was a little lower but I haven't done much testing with it yet, not significantly different.

I think it's just the battery conditioning period, plus there's the New Toy battery syndrome. Batteries tend to get worn down faster when the device is a New Toy. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brrrknee:
not as good as it should be

I don't have much going on in this phone, it does hourly look up the emails, but by the end of a day when I rarely get or make calls, the battery is low and needs recharging. Very surprised, was expecting the two-three days' charge others above had mentioned.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Though it's not fantastic, it's a whole lot better than my Tilt, so it seems very good in comparison. If you have bad battery life, try closing CPU intensive background services, and using Advanced config, set an inactivity timeout to disconnect from HSPA/GSM (I use 5 minutes of inactivity). Also, enable most if not all of the power saving features in advanced config. Reboot, and you'll find that your battery should last longer. Also, you might want to check your radio version, as there are definately more battery intensive ones (like my current one).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brrrknee:
replaced mine

the battery I got in Oct 09 with the TMo TP2 was getting a full charge, then without doing much of anything but one call or one note in a 6 hr period, the battery was already at the red level of <=10%.

Called TMo about this back in Nov, then again in early January they agreed and sent a new battery. The new one is doing much much better at holding the charge. :) I don't know what the issue was, but that they replaced it without much question has me believing there was an upgrade in the battery technology.:rolleyes:

My battery life sucks. It's just as mentioned: when I charge the phone, it will drop from 100% to 95% in seconds and when making calls it will discharge very fast.

Tried all the methods:

1. discharge, charge 100%(with phone off) and repeat this

2. flashed stock rom

My battery was working perfectly and all of a sudden the battery life sucks. I had this before with my diamond and there it would disappear after a period, but on mt TP2 it isn't....

If I look at a tool to get the current flowing out of the battery, I will see that the current drains about 300 mA or even higher, wich is abnormaly high.

The drain already excist, right after flashing.

Next move is to try flashing a official ROM from HTC and use that ROM. If i still experiencing battery drains, I think i will go back with the phone or I will order a new battery(not sure if the battery is the problem tho)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gotwake424:
Well I recently started to only enable 3g when I get on the net. And I can go from

it will be about at 70% by 10pm

and will make it to about 7pm the next day with 5% battery
