Hey guys

I have installed the official rom 1.66 WWE from HTC.com, and I can't believe how bad the battery life is.

I have it charged fully by the morning and barely use anything in it, maybe I do just browse for few minutes, and by about 9 PM the battery is life shows only about 5%. What the hell how can such a great device have such a bad battery life.

I always check if there are running programs in the background so the only ones that are always running are:

1- gyrator

2- wifi

3- active sync

is any of those the cause of draining the battery life.

On my iphone I have always wifi on, and I browse alot and the battery life is much better than HD2

Please advise?
[HD2 General] flunkyou2:
WIFI thats wat does it...... dont forget the hd2 has a bigger screen then the iphone and also its more powerful then it to.

Install the bsb tweaks it will help out abit :)
[HD2 General] donwhann:
hmmmm strange....i have wi-fi turned on most of the time yet i get a good day and a half of average usage out of mine.......
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
you have wifi on all the the time and are wondering why your battery is draining so badly?!?!?!?

:facepalm:
[HD2 General] Spike15:
This.

See here.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
You probably have applied the Wifi on in standby hack, I guess?

[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
This is very interesting expected it wayyyyy later then that I won't even have wimax coverage by then haha I still def. Gunna get it. Though
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
Meh, I'll get the next one in October...the "Hypersonic". Or by that time, they'll have the "Warp 10" out. :p
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
My upgrade is in october... :D
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Mine too. Except I hate 2 year contracts. As soon as that's up I'm getting whatever android phone is good and new. It definitley won't be the nexus one, too far away for that.
[Hero CDMA General] maejrep:
I live in a wimax area, but work outside the coverage area. Still, I'd probably pay it even without the upgrade, cause I'm a masochist.
[Hero CDMA General] zippy-man:
I will buy the phone outright i hate extending my contract as well and as awesome as this phone sounds it will be worth every penny.

Man i cant wait
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
Eclair is nice..mad props to KingxKxlick and Cannon202 but I want my camcorder back, opengl and all that hero goodness. Whoever gets me a working Eclair-Hero rom for my G1 with all the features listed will get $50 US sent via Paypal :D
[G1 Android Development] neb5:
Word. We should start a dev prize pool with a chip-in account... winner take all. Didn't someone do that with navigation?

This thread is probably gonna be deleted, but good try.
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
Didn't somebody make a thread exactly like this earlier....and it got deleted, like this one will.

Listen up you ignorant people.

MOD EDIT: This is uncalled for, you can make your points without insults. Please take care (respect others) when posting. I would edit this out but many members have quoted it in future posts, so not much point.

THERE IS CATEGORICALLY NO WAY TO RECORD, OR PLAY BACK VIDEO ON AN ECLAIR ROM WITHOUT THE DRIVERS.

AND NOBODY EVEN KNOWS IF THOSE DRIVERS EXIST.

SO PLEASE, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU OFFER TO DEVELOPERS, UNLESS SOMEBODY FINDS THE DRIVERS REQUIRED, WE WILL NEVER HAVE VIDEO ON AN ECLAIR ROM.

King's 2.0 ROM does NOT count as having working video.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
I think it's worth a bit more than that.
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
I'd like working bluetooth so that I can try a Hero rom but if it were possible it would have happened already. Same as if video without drivers were possible. People dont seem to understand that the devs here dont create the OS for our phones they edit open source code that google has released. If google doesnt release the code that is needed for something then the devs here have nothing to work with. Think of it has you bought a piece of hardward to use with you PC but when you plug it in you PC doesnt reconize it. That is because you dont have the correct driver for it and untill you can obtain that driver it will never work.
[G1 Android Development] marxmarv:
Not true.

$50 can buy a fair bit of corporate espionage in a lower-rent country.

$10k can buy a few developer-months in a lower-rent country.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
I would ask Haykuro or Ncommander. I don't know too much about the above numbers about low-rent countries.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] st0kes:
Amen to that.

[G1 Android Development] fh47qu:
not for nothing thats a little harsh. you calling others ignorant makes you just as ignorant, if not more. also, from what i understand, google did drop the 2.1 aosp code, i dont know about all of it, but its def there. and the drivers do exist 100%. a very close friend of mine (who works for google by the way) was privy to them. i have a fully working, and when i say fully working i mean fully working eclair rom on my POS G1. i can take pics, record, watch you tube vids the whole 9 yards. if i knew how to make a rom and **** id put one out there for you guys, but i dont and at the same time neither i nor my contact are trying to get sued by google or htc. im not sure if the **** is proprietary or not, but im not running any risks and neither is she. maybe someone with a fancy new nexus can reverse engineer the camcorder, like NCommander did with the camera (mad props by the way!!!), but until then looks like only the very few who have the necessary bits and pieces will be able to enjoy 2.1 (which honestly aint that great. i much prefer cyans 1.6). ive had a complete 2.1 rom on my phone since tuesday and so far so good. no problems at all running nice and smooth. its out there guys, you just gotta be patient or get a nexus
[G1 Android Development] SeEsAw12:
Why don't you post the Zip file on here?

EDIT: Read the "Sued" part.

*sigh*..
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
I would like to direct your attention to the NOUVEAU project: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/

This is an open source driver built out of knowledge gained by REVERSE ENGINEERING the nvidia binary linux driver for their desktop GPUs....

At this current stage, they have achieved rudimentary 3d acceleration.

So in conclusion, nothing is impossible.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Ncommander might be able to, he seems to be a decent coder.

Haykuro *definitely* won't. He isn't a coder, he's just a hack -- responsible for more bricks than anyone else and at the same time, responsible for fracturing the community romcookers into the "stockSPL" and "deathSPL" groups -- which is a VERY VERY VERY bad thing.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Auctions?

So I'm browsing right.....

scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, and I believe it is twice i ran across a topic like this with either $ or Paypal in the title for the exchange of a fix to a phone and/or rom....hmmm, is it me or has the developer forums overnightly became an Ebay/Craigslist type of category:confused::rolleyes:lol
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
I know Haykuro is responsible for bricks its a fact that the deathSPL can cause a brick but when used correctly it is a very useful tool that allows ROM makers to create larger and better ROMs. I think most devs that create ROMs that do not require the death spl only do so because the majority of people dont want to flash the death spl there for more people will use there rom if it does not require it.
[G1 Android Development] jaikat:
i suggest a new section on the forums be opened for paying developers to do specific tasks and services... it can be named "developers in demand" :D
[G1 Android Development] Freedomcaller:
you can always write drivers....
[G1 Android Development] 2girls1cup:
thanks for that info I would have never known. unfortunately the BT fix 32b.rar link is down. do you have it?

Seconded or gtfo
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Guys, just forget porting the drivers..
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Sorry I don't have it, Eugene might have it still.

Might as well make a petition if you really want those drivers.
[G1 Android Development] 2girls1cup:
well I don't think you need the drivers for MT3G users. its just a radio/recovery package he put together that we need. Its a shame it only works for Mytouch3g users.
[G1 Android Development] Kutttt:
I'll donate $50 to HAITI, people who actually need help if this task gets completed and I'll verify I send the funds via Red Cross receipt.
[G1 Android Development] G Zero:
+1

Releasing that and not getting sued is as easy as mounting their phone on their computer, C&P all the files into a zip file, uploading it to a generic file host and sending the link to every Eclair dev. that is total bull lol

P.S. once upon a time it was impossible to get the Nexus 1s rom running on a G1. Then it was impossible to get LWPs to work on a G1. Then it was impossible to get the camera to take pictures. See a pattern here?

Everything's impossible, till somebody does it.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
It's 2.1 Andoid , some apps might be used but it's still 2.1 . The launcher is the new 2.1 launcher and will be on any phone with 2.1 . One being the Galaxy 2.
[G1 Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Hey, I know you guys seem to think this is impossible, but the Vogue kernel dev wizard dzo has given Kaiser and Vogue users HW3D acceleration for 2.1 builds... for instance in my OpenEclair port we enjoy over 24 FPS in NeoCore... so it only takes the time and dedication. Frankly we can't thank dzo enough, but I don't know who is capable of this for the G1...
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Glad to see the push in the right direction! Hopefully HTC gets off its Nexus-obsessed ass and gets these drivers out....its not THAT difficult :D
[G1 Android Development] johnt2k:
it doesnt even have to be 2.1 id be happy with a 1.6 hero rom with zipalign and ram hack and just all the apps ported kind of like super D but with HERO

where did Mlign go he need to come back PLZ:D
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
lol what breakthrough has he ever done :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] johnt2k:
none but what he did do is what i cant do and that is compile all the work together to make a very smooth and fast hero rom
[G1 Android Development] jmhalder:
its cool guys, i'll pay $50,000,000.00 to the person that does this...

*oh i'll just point out that my promise looks as realistic as the OP's, unless the money is collected by a 2nd party, there will be no money, why donate if its already available?*

(more people would do more hardware work if they got reasonable donations, I donated $5 to DZO, and hey, he has drivers for the vogue and 2.1, lol)
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Hi..

Can you do me a favor and choke on your G1. I mean... you have no ida what your talking about but somehow you, a random person, have an eclair rom fully functioning because your random friend did what t get it working? THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE DRIVERS? you do understand some of the devs also work in tmbobile stores....

People like you that beg for worthless attention make me want to puch this little red button that says do not push
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Maybe a lawsuit against HTC is the better way to go. These phones were sold under the guise of "open source, open platform" Well its not very open if they dont provide the source code for the camera or other parts of the device.

If thats the case, its just a closed source device , and should have been sold as one

I assume HTC doesnt want you to have the drivers, if you did, then you would have no reason to upgrade.

Its called feature creep, all cell companies do it, they purposely make each phone they produce leave something off, or something degraded.

Otherwise you have no reason to upgrade.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
But then the consumers won't buy their newer phones if they keep making drivers for each new version, it's all about marketing and making $$$$
[G1 Android Development] trystlore:
Seriously.....

Won't be made eh? Unlikely maybe as the human animal is by its very nature lazy and waiting for everything to be handed to it. Then again we will also go out of our ways to do things we enjoy and there are coders out there who would attack it just for the challenge. I have been bouncing around the forums here for quite a while and if i have learned anything about XDA it is we have some of the most intuitive coders that doesn't require a corporation with a payroll. Doesnt really matter what OS we are talking about as i have been through most the ones supported here. That said it is viable that it could happen , and sometimes just sometimes a little greed can be the bonus that gets the right person looking at it. So say it cant be done all you like, a more honest answer is it is not likely and it will probably be just a matter of patience to get the drivers. So have faith man and good luck maybe that 1 person will see it and fix it if not well we will all just have to wait with baited breath for the drivers to fall out of the sky (literally OTA update LoL)
[G1 Android Development] SeEsAw12:
They'd make more money if the consumer saw the company be loyal.

It's cheap marketing. They're just lazy and could care less about what the consumer wants.

It's funny because their hardcore fan base remains with the G1, MyTouch, etc.

The nexus one is nice and if you want the full potential of 2.1 then you should get a Nexus but I don't see a reason in switching if they're going to release a half-assed build for late models because that's all their going to keep doing later on. Then they'll release multiple 2.1's(example) with different functionalities, e.g. One phone will have facebook integration and one will have twitter and one will have a different UI(examples) and neither will be able to be ported to another phone. That will defeat the entire purpose of it being open source.

I know this is a mindless rant but i'm extremely drunkk and tired and still need to shower.

Not like not being able to watch YouTube on my phone pisses me off, it's just the fact that they don't want to release it and it kinda makes me wonder what they'll do later on
[G1 Android Development] :
That's "couldn't care less".
[G1 Android Development] Anartic:
Nexus obsessed? Wouldn't that be Google? HTC was only hired to make the Nexus One, but if you saw there MWC Press event you could see that HTC is more concentrated on pushing out their Sense UI.
[G1 Android Development] SeEsAw12:
Refer back to the I was drunk part.
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
Okay I probably went a bit over the top in my earlier post...actually yeah, it was quite a lot over the top.

Look, until a developer actually manages to get hold of the drivers, proper video playback is completely impossible. And I see so many posts in various threads where people mindlessly ask 'Is video working in this build?' without even so much as reading the first post of the threads where it tells them very clearly that video does not work.

And I just don't think that everyone realises that. I mean what I think there should be is a very clear thread that is stickied that explains what does and doesn't work in an Eclair ROM so that people don't need to ask those questions. In fact I think I'll make that now.

And tman, I'm sorry for that first post I made.
[G1 Android Development] SeEsAw12:
I don't that'll work. Call me a cynic, but there's literally a ton of people who either have it as their signature or post it in the first page of any ROM. I can promise you each eclair rom has at least 20 people asking that question getting the same answer.

And now somebody posted threads asking a questions that has been answered countless times.

And yes it's possible for a dev to create the drivers. I think their skilled enough to do so BUT they don't nearly enough money nor time. I think some of these devs would a great job working for Google.
[G1 Android Development] potc01:
I think the focus should be, is the gpu of th 7200a so much different to the 7201a.

I ask this because, when they got it go on a Kaiser how much work is it to create the same success on the G1....

peter
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
It doesn't matter how many times a question is asked it will be asked a thousand more times, my personal favorites "can I root", "am I rooted", "check for root".
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
My personal favourite was the thread titled 'I Think I got the kernel'. Classic.
[G1 Android Development] SeEsAw12:
lol, then obviously stickying anything doesn't matter anyway. Since there's a sticky on how to root.
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
I don't know why my post has caused so many arguments. I know there are currently no eclair video drivers for the G1 but I thought if some people pitched in one of the devs might have enough skill to write their own drivers based on what they already have for Android 1.6. I find it hard to believe that version 2.1 is so diff from 1.6 that porting them over is impossible.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
You were better off pming someone...lol I'm surprised mods haven't closed this by now. This should be moved to general with all the fuss it has. 1.6 and 2.0 are 2 different roms, so you can't port them over that easily and the drivers are not open drivers they're for google to see and google to know only.
[G1 Android Development] gophergun:
Forgive me if I come across like... well, an idiot, but I don't see why we can't do the same thing we did with the camera drivers: edit the code we do have to make the old drivers compatible, then run cleanup on anything it breaks until we have something usable.
[G1 Android Development] jdmoore81:
working video

they have a fully working video over at http://planetmax.co.inso it can be done just need some kernal editing and that is about it
[G1 Android Development] kntdookoo:
Nice, website full of spyware
[G1 Android Development] alan090:
thats actually one of the 32a devs website

nice ignorance
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Uhh we're talking about G1 not Magic. We already know Magic has working video, even if ported it still does not work. Don't try to flash the rom onto the G1, it won't work.
[G1 Android Development] polyrhythmic:
I have also heard from vogue/kaiser kernel dev that it is (for the most part) just a kernel edit...

[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
"Video record / playback" ?
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
Video playback is great but the offer was for playback/record...I'll give you 50 when you have the camcorder and gapps working. I've gotta be able to sync with Google and go to the market. It looks good so far and don't worry I'll pay when its done.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Perhaps you could demonstrate that you are worthy of the bounty by telling us HOW you made MP4's work....

You also have not made any indication that there has been any change related to GPU drivers.

Note: playback can be done EASILY using SOFTWARE DECODING. This would have the SERIOUS DOWNSIDE of being CPU heavy and eating battery. If this is what he has done, then I wouldn't consider him worthy of the $50. I hope that the solution is based on actual hardware drivers though, that WOULD be worthy of the $50... probably a good amount more in fact.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
lol this thread makes me laugh. :p
[G1 Android Development] gophergun:
If it's software, that's not working openGL, correct? It's missing the point regardless, I'd just like to clarify.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Correct.

Although one thing to note:

GL and Video hardware acceleration are two separate issues that exist for the same reason -- lack of updated drivers.

Which I *believe* means that one could implement hardware VIDEO DECODE withOUT implementing hardware GL.

Unless the video decode is shader based.... in which case, the two are one and the same.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Turns out he's using Hero/32A/7200A drivers.

Note that it is very likely NOT POSSIBLE to use this approach to fix video capture since the difference between the 7200A and 7201A involve video encoding.

Either that or the difference between 7200A and 7201A are strictly in the drivers and that 7200A drivers will open up a 7201A to actually *BE* a 7200A..... (note: this is not as unlikely as you may be thinking)
