Sadly, this is nothing new. Sprint has been doing the same thing for years, and years, and years (far before Android was even a glimmer in GOOG's eye). The fact of the matter is that Sprint makes no money on PHONES. Sprint's income is based on CONTRACTS. New, flashy phones sell contracts. Once you have a contract, Sprint has zero financial incentive to do anything for you other than send you a monthly bill for two years. In fact, they have more financial incentive to screw you and make you jealous with your existing phone, because then you'll prematurely upgrade your phone and buy a new contract.

Industry analysts have been pointing out for years that this system is broken and contrary to the consumers' interests. However, people just keep falling for the scam and not providing any reason for the industry to change. Many had hoped that with new, external parties like Apple and Google entering the cell phone arena that things would change. Unfortunately, Apple and Google just jumped into bed with satan and entered into profit-share agreements.

One only has to look overseas to see what things COULD be like. In much of Asia, phones can be purchased independently from contracts and they have technology that typically blows away what is available in the US. The downside is that you have to pay full-price for a phone. Americans are simply too lazy and cheap to pony up and tell cell providers where to stick it.
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
Gee...If you like Asia so well, maybe you should move there. All you lose is your freedom. You live in America, this is a free enterprise society, which means people are free to choose what they want or don't want and companies are in business to make MONEY, not cater to every customers whim. Nobody forces you to buy/use any specific company, if you don't like it, go somewhere else, that is the beauty of free enterprise.

I had terrible battery life until I found a nice little widget called Overclock Widget, my battery life lasts a very long time now!
[Hero CDMA General] ASULutzy:
You know, I don't see why everyone bashes Sprint developers. Here's my perspective as a software engineer.

Not to take away from the nice things that the folks and developers on these forums are doing, but they know it to be true, they're not really developing software in the truest sense of the word. They are creatively taking things other people have coded, throwing them together, and tweaking settings.

Not a single developer here (unless they moonlight for HTC/Sprint) is writing drivers, developing the SenseUI, or any other actual code for the phone. The most real development the folks here could be doing that would actually end up on your phone is contributing to the Linux kernel :)

I don't think Sprint is perfect, but you have to understand that the members of these forums represent a minority of Sprint's customers. When a developer releases a ROM, it's totally okay for them to be like, "Oh, video doesn't work, and you might get FC's when you do X, Y, or Z". They also don't have to do the same amount of testing that Sprint does. For example, in Fresh's last ROM, he forgot to include the SuperUser.apk, it wasn't a big deal at all, and I'm glad he puts in the time he does to make such quality releases, but could you imagine if some of these shortcomings happened in an official Sprint update? People would effing flip out.

Sprint has to be held to a much higher degree of accountability, quality, and they have to do extensive testing to ensure these attributes. Devs here can frankenstein some stuff together, tweak a few settings in the files, sign it and ship it. They are essentially able to beta test on their customers, which is something that would certainly be frowned upon if they were an actual company.

Bottom line is this, without the Sprint and HTC developers, none of these custom ROM's would be possible. No XDA developer has actually coded any of the stuff, they just take what Sprint/HTC release and patch it together and try and tweak it.
[Hero CDMA General] 16vMK1:
idk how you charged your phone when you first got it but leaving it plugged in for quite a bit longer than when the battery first ever comes to full charge greatly improves battery life. also letting your battery die completely a few times greatly decreases your batterys full charge capacity. thats why they put the low battery warnings there. either plug your phone in or shut it off. another previous poster said something about keeping a spare usb at work to charge his phone if needed. for goodness sake the phone can use a standard mini b usb cable to charge. i have a usb on my stereo in my car to charge my phone if needed and at school where there are computers all around me with usb ports i can plug into. my phone will get through an entire day no problem on one charge. but rarely does my phone get below 80 percent cause i always carry a 2 foot cable with me to school or in my car just incase.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
Yep, that was kinda my point. You don't even have to go drop $25 on a spare charger anymore. Chances are extremely high that you can find a cable that will work just lying around at any decent sized school or business.

I swear, if they came out with a phone that only had to be charged on New Year's and the 4th of July, some people would still ***** because "my friend only has to charge his phone once a year! WTF! This is BS!".

:rolleyes:

Personally, given what these phones are capable of, and everything they're crunching away at even while they're in your pocket, I think it's an amazing feat of engineering that they squeeze more than about 7 minutes out of the tiny batteries they put in them.
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
Nah.....Just a lover of freedom and free enterprise. I don't expect to get anything for nothing. Too many people these days expect everything for nothing.......
[Hero CDMA General] thematrixkid17:
Actually, I have to disagree with this post. Hong Kong has consistently rated much higher in economic freedom than western societies in recent years by several prestigious economic publications. Americans soon won't even have a choice whether or not to purchase health insurance anymore. Remember that if it weren't for the people who spoke out against their freedom being taken away, we'd still be under British rule. Don't be too quick to become complacent about your notions of freedom, or we'll all end up back where we started.

Just leave it alone; instead of whining about how this should be somewhere else, why not be an adult and simply not post anything at all?
[Hero CDMA General] YoungAceAtlanta:
After i had read that. I knew it was pointless to keep reading.. As if mods even come in the hero thread to delete this lol.

If you want to talk about how bad a product is they have feedback lines. and surveys.. if you call HTC or stay on the phone with sprint you can ***** all day about it and your word might get heard.. (which i really think it wont and i know htc probly hate this site for us leaking they software) so this thread dont go no where

[HD2 General] VeEuzUKY:
Is it possible to get rid of the action screen that pop-up after pressing the Power-Off hardware button to turn the phone of?

The action screen is annyoing and useless and I'd love the HD2 to simply shut down after pressing the power button for a few seconds like most phones do.

Is there an patch/mod to totally eliminate the action screen?

Thanks to all:)

The action screen is both annyoing, useless and slow and I'd love for the HD2 to simply shut down after pressing the power button for a few seconds like most phones do. Is there an app/patch or registry mod to totally bypass/eliminate the action screen?

Try this cab it works for me :) short press is like normal and long press is a reset
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VeEuzUKY:
No, this makes it reset, now I dont even have a way to turn the phone off except taking the battery out. I need a TurnOff_EndKey not Reset_EndKey:)

Thanks anyway:)
[Nexus One General] innisdb:
curious to see what kind of battery life people are getting on average with their phones? im pretty happy with the life im getting but after reading what some other people are getting it puts mine to shame!

how many hours are you guys getting under how much load and which kernel/rom/mods do you have?
[Nexus One General] tomsan84:
I too am interested in this.. maybe you could post your stats, I have no time atm.
[Nexus One General] stinkypete:
My unrooted n1 battery is poor
[Nexus One General] bmszabo:
unrooted N1, average use 3G, Wifi, some surfing, living wallpaper; about 5%/ hour -> 20 hours. Assume as acceptable, about one day of use; better than my Iphone used to be (worse than Hero 1.6 was)..
[Nexus One General] DigitaL BlisS:
Mine is not rooted and the battery life is either less or on par with the iPhone. Only use beautiful weather widget as well as the default news one. It's relatively new so I'm hoping it improves after a few charges, definitely considering picking up another battery.
[Nexus One General] blastik:
you don't need another battery. just tune up your N1 correctly. Use either Wifi or 3g preferably when available. Use push rather than scheduled sync. Leave brightness down to minimum, you will only need more when you are outside.

Connections & screen usage take biggest part of your battery life.

I heard also some people who by pressing *#*#4636#*#* selected "WCDMA only" as preferred network so phone doesn't try to swap to 2g when there is no 3g. Changes between networks drain battery very fast. Let's say for example while traveling by car.:cool:

As well I have to say that last generation mobile phones have to be charged once per day. I consider that normal. Come on most of us play around, surf website, take pics and upload them to facebook, etc several times along the day.
[Nexus One General] St.Jimmy!:
I have the UV kernel and I think it does extend battery life. The first day I had it it lasted for 18 and a half hours with a fairly normal use: GTalk, browsing, camera, market downloads, gps, etc.

I do want to mention for those who are comparing their battery life to their iPhone's that there's nothing to compare, as there's absolutely no hardware equivalences. You just can't compare a 600MHz processor to a 1000GHz one, as well as larger and better screen, 256 vs 512MB mem, etc. I'd like to see what your battery life would be on your iPhone if you could plug in htc's battery.

Definitely not saying Apple is not good on batteries, just saying to read and check stuff before you make comparisons between devices.
[Nexus One General] blastik:
mmm..... i'm thinking to load some rom on my N1 but... which ones are the advantages of doing so? the mods?
[Nexus One General] bmszabo:
I don't want to compare hardware/ batteries, I am aware of all the differences.. But: I DO want to have a smartphone, which -at least- can go with for a day of usual use (calls, messages, internet) -at which point the Iphone just fails..
[Nexus One General] blastik:
then post your normal usage in mins/day for each thing and we would be able to tell you. :)
[Nexus One General] innisdb:
well i dunno i get a full days use out of my phone with maybe an hour or 2 or talk time and maybe 20 messages, syncing gmail 5 or 6 times, checking market, and a little bit of browsing. at the end of the day ill still have about 30% or so....im not complaining really but from what i hear from other people on the forums here their doing alot heavier usage and still at 70% or something. im just curious what is really making the difference, i dont have wifi, bluetooth, or sync on ever. but i keep my screen at full brightness always cause i love how the screen looks :) im running CM 5.5.3 and use setCPU.
[Nexus One General] maxh:
I used a T-Mobile nexus one for awhile then sold it and bought an AT&T nexus one. The AT&T version is getting significantly less battery life than the T-Mobile one. I used the same AT&T service on both phones. I'm not saying it's necessarily a difference between the 2 versions, but between the 2 phones at least. I got probably 36 hrs. average on the T-Mobile version and maybe 18 hrs. average on the AT&T one.
[Nexus One General] tribalmunky:
Let the battery break in.
[Nexus One General] DigitaL BlisS:
Thanks for the tips. How good is auto-brightness for this phone? Would it be better to just set a low and a high profile for outside?
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
Stock rom. Heavy internet. 7 hours straight....

Or 3 full movies

Or all day using it normaly...

Brightness always almost all the way down, no updating widgets other than weather, no push email...

Very happy with it..
[Nexus One General] strongergodzilla:
You were also probably getting significantly better battery life with the EDGE only of the tmobile one, on the ATT Network, than the now 3g enabled att nexus. You can force edge on the nexus one in the wireless settings, and switch it off if you are gonna be browsing the internet for a while, etc to try to get the most outta that battery.
[Nexus One General] maxh:
I tried edge only but didn't notice much of a difference.

...almost the same.

my problem occurred after I did a soft reset. It took it a while to boot and every other time I used soft reset the boot took longer and longer until it did not want to turn on again.

Soft reset doesn't work but when it's left on the charger and pressed, the battery light blinks once. It won't charge and my PC registers a device malfunction when connected through USB.

The only sign of life pops up when I press hard reset but after I press 0 or X nothing happens.

Please help!

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] james mellor:
I am wanting to change my ROM to a custom one. I have a Xda Orbit 2, I have tried 2 ROMS the other day:

"Kostas244_ROM_3g_23016_FINAL_B"

"pcarvalho_eXtreme__23016_Beta_3D__ROM_3.19_Release"

They went on perfect no problem, restarted, went through the usual stuff aligning screen etc.. Everything worked... Well everything I tried worked apart from it was like the audio drivers where missing.

They was no sound when playing music, incoming call... or when i tried ringing someone I couldn't even hear anything.

I made sure the volume was up and it wasn't on silent/vibrate but still didn't work.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks, James​
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Motootto:
Scroll down in the pcarvelho post and try the 23547 - everything on this seems to work.

Don't forget to flash the original rom, hard reset, then flash the new rom and hard reset.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] james mellor:
Just tried it, everything works.. audio works aswell. another problem is that it will not connect to the service provider.. when i put a sim card in and turn it on it loads everything ok then i get a pop up saying "the operation failed" and just wont connect to the phone, and the touchflo doesn't work, it says "tap here to launch touchflo" but when you tap it, it doesn't do anything.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Alex-V:
Think it´s a flash problem..

flash Orginal rom + hard reset if you see the calibration screen after that flash my rom also with a hard reset....after a complete boot a soft reset

:)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] james mellor:
I tried that, well...

orginal rom > hard reset

custom rom > hard reset > soft reset

It still doesn't work, I might be doing something wrong, I don't know but I have noticed that when the sound stops working and I put the phone to my ear I can here a like buzzing type sound.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Alex-V:
try my rom and say me if it´s the same (see signature) :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] james mellor:
I think I have sorted it now... I'm just going to test it for a while and if I notice any faults I will try your ROM. But to get it sorted I....

Flashed with original ROM > Hard Reset

Flashed with "my rom 23529 with EzInput 2.1" > Hard Reset > Soft Reset

Flashed with "pcarvalho eXtreme (23547 Beta non3D) ROM 3.19 Release" > Hard Reset

And now its running smooth for now. I will report back to this thread in a few days after I have had a play around.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Alex-V:
if it´s ok for you...it´s ok for me :):)...

Hi,

When I bought my HD2 I put my Optus SIM in, and I have no credit, but when I go into internet explorer I have free internet access, it is a bit slow so I have no idea what it is using, GPRS, EDGE or HSDPA?

Any Ideas people? Kind of weird since I don't have any credit on my SIM.

Thing is in my Other Pocket PC's when I put my SIM in I have no internet access at all, does anybody know the configuration options so I can get it to work on my other phones.
