[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cougar694u:
Pretty much. Most of the ROMs I use are for the G1, which has a smaller partition than the default MT3G. The SPL is what changes this, so if the G1 requires a different SPL, chances are it'll still work fine on the MT3G.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tsheeley:
Awesome!

Thanks somb & cougar for the help! I'll be doing some happy flashing sometime in the near future.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Super Jamie:
The G1's original SPL, and the Engineering SPL and Hard SPL, had less onboard space to store ROMs. The Magic has more onboard space, so Haykuro took the Magic's SPL and backported it to the G1.

This was called the Danger SPL or Death SPL as you needed to be running the latest radio for it to work. Many people did not work this out till later and bricked their G1s. Now we know this, so flashing Danger SPL is not really dangerous at all.

Every Magic already has as much space as a G1 with Danger SPL, so Magic users can use any ROM marked "Danger SPL" without concern.
[HD2 General] digitalhater:
What official ROM version has the eReader and Documents tab?
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
the US T-Mobile 2.10 ROM
[HD2 General] digitalhater:
Thanks a lot.

Will that ROM work on a Europe Mobile? Will my network and everything work....say..for instance in Romania?
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
should do, but you're better off using a cooked ROM with the 2.10 ROM bits in it

Love the Nexus One. Hate that Android system fonts aren't scalable. Too many apps have fonts too small to be of use.

This should be fixed.

Enom's 1.7.1 can change the font size... from Spare Parts...
[Nexus One General] attn1:
Have you verified this?

I've tried several versions of spare parts - the ones that have font adjustment don't really do anything. Even if this ROM works, I still don't think this is the kind of thing that should require voiding warranty to have.
[Nexus One General] craigacgomez:
Yeah, I've used it... it works... but only till u restart!!!
[Nexus One General] attn1:
My experience is that it only resizes fonts in the SpareParts app itself, has no effect on anything else, and they aren't retained when you restart the SpareParts app.
[Nexus One General] jonesy420:
actually it resizes everything but it quickly reverts back to the original settings. once it changed right before my eyes just by rotating to landscape view. the app has the ability to change all fonts size but something is changing it back. there has to be some way of disabling that to make the change stick. can anyone shine some light on this issue?

Hi,

I know there is a thread about Navigation software but it is quite dated now.

As Garmin Mobile XT is discontinued does any know some good current software?

Also can you get 2010 (UK) maps for Garmin Mobile XT.

Thanks

[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Go into Settings > Accounts and Sync and make sure that Auto-sync is turned on. I had to do this after I loaded DamageControl and skipped initial sign in.

I have a simmilar issue with Facebook, I NEVER get notifications but my wife does on her Hero. We have the same ROM and settings - its weird. Even on a stock rom, mine will NOT get Facebook notifications. And Market notifications only pop up after I reboot or after I open the market app.

Hi,

On 26-02-2010 i sended my HD2 back because the screen didn't respond anymore.

Here in the Netherlands Eurotwice.be do the repair of HTC devices.

Today a made a phonecall because the status was "waiting for pieces from htc" the lady on the phone says that there are 210 devices with the same problem, that is a lot i think.

More people here who are waiting?

So hope the will fix it soon before my vacation

I called T-MO they said it sounds like a battery issue what do you guys think?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Almost certainly the battery. There is an outside possibility it is the circuits that control the power, but that seems unlikely.

I've been using the app now for a few weeks and really love it because I can check the forums at work. However just 1 question/comment...is there a search function in this app? I can't seem to figure it out. Search would make the app even more useful IMO.

[Nexus One General] RayKinStL:
So I am at work, looking at my N1, and I'll let you all tell me if you think there is a problem...Since a full charge last night, my phone has been off the dock for 2h9m ...

In that time, my battery has dropped 14% already. The biggest culprit...the display...with 59%...despite only being on for 15m. I always use it on the middle brightness setting from the power bar. Ive lost basically 1% for every minute the screen has been on. At that rate, my phone wouldn't even last 2 hours turned on.

Am I being paranoid? Do I have some rogue program sucking battery life? Your thoughts?
[Nexus One General] blastik:
Everybody says controversial stuff about phones like N1 or iPhone regarding battery life. But I can tell you from experience and some conferences I have been the following tips to improve your N1 battery:

-Leave brightness to minimum. Only at street you will need to have it at medium or maximum so you can see well.

-Use 3G or wifi when available. It will save more battery than if you use edge.

-Use push, also it's better.

-User apps like TaskManager to auto kill some application that remain open.

And last thing, if you have a new N1 the battery life will improve with the use within the next 2 weeks. Also, I'm sure you are playing around more than usual if you just got it. :)

I hope this help you.

*#*#4636#*#*

Battery History

See what the figure for 'running' is, if it's high, something is stopping the phone sleeping. Should that be the case, chage the top drop down box to 'partial wake usage' and see what is to blame.
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
This is the complete opposite of what everyone else will tell you.

Most people say to force 2G (Edge) because it'll save battery over 3G. There are reports that WiFi will use less battery than 3G though, but not as good as 2G. Google even says this on the screen where you force 2G.

Push Email will require a constant polling on the internet. Since Android is a web OS, its probably connected to the internet anyway, but you can disable Auto Sync and Background Sync to save battery (once again, Google says this on that screen).

I agree with #1 and #4 though. If you don't want to do the lowest brightness setting, try the Auto Dim, it seems to dim it a lot more than my old Windows Mobile phones did.
[Nexus One General] blastik:
At first I had the same opinion as you have but after I watched this video it changed radically :)

[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
No it doesn't, that's the beauty of push email. It opens a connection to the server and just sits idle.
[Nexus One General] blastik:
You are right ;) so ... it saves battery at the end.

@mindfrost82. Check out the video, it will tech you few things because most of people is wrong as I was in the past.

Battery Drain

My phone would drain 15% battery in 1 hour just being idle witht he screen off. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and changed the option from WCDMA preffered to WCDMA only. When I don't get a 3g signal (not often) I jsut go back to that and set it to GSM only. For one reason or another the WCDMA preffered SUCKS THE BATTERY!

4 hours of the phone being idle and only 5% battery drain! DO IT! IT WORKS!

WTF? 3g uses LESS POWER than edge/wifi?!

My whole world just got turned upside down :eek:

Thanks for posting the video :D
[Nexus One General] RayKinStL:
You need to be careful of this. The point the video made is that if you download something OF SIMILAR SIZE, you will realize battery gains by virtue of the fact that what you are downloading/uploading takes exponentially less time to retrieve. The real question is, if 2 phones are both casually browsing for the same amount of time...without worrying how much information was actually transferred...one on Edge, the other on 3G...is there a difference in battery performance?

What the video said is just common sense. If I am going to send you 20 MB file and one way takes 2 minutes to download it and the other takes 10 minutes to download, then OF COURSE the 2 minute method is going to be more efficient. So you can download on Wifi where it might take x amount of time, compared to 3G where it takes 5x or edge where it takes 10x. Thus, if the file size the person is going to download is known, then of course it makes sense to tell them to wait until they are on wifi. However, many of us casually browse, on the spot, without regard to the type of connection we are on.
[Nexus One General] blastik:
Yeah, what you just said is right. But still you are saving battery up! Plus I wouldn't use edge at all in my N1. What's the point of having almost everything disabled so I can receive calls?

I remind you that while edge is sending/receiving data you cannot get any calls :p
[Nexus One General] brandenk:
This is an excellent video, I highly recommend watching it if you are even remotely interested in the inner workings of our phones.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Thanks, I didn't know this, for the info this thread is full of great stuff...
[Nexus One General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
1) middle brightness is very bright. I'm sure you can live with 25%. Display brightness will always drain battery like mad.

2) 3G power use is usually decent. The N1 has terrible RF so it might be fighting 2G/3G. That will cost you a lot of power. If you're getting full 4 bars 3G everywhere you go even underground, you might be ok, but in low reception areas, it's gonna drain your battery struggling to boost power. Bigger issue during a call too.I notice this on my Milestone. The N1 completely fails at 3G while my Milestone fights for it. As a result the Milestone gets quite hot.

3) There are sometimes apps that run in the background. Some people insist task killers aren't necessary, but lemme give you an example. Stupid Speedtest program failed to acquire my location. After a test, you can't really exit, so you just hit home. Droidforums fanatics will always repost that link to that one thread where they talk about memory and its ok to not have to kill an app. Think again. The GPS turns on because of Speedtest and it keeps trying to acquire your location. Gotta kill it with a task manager or that thing will kill you. Or a webpage. I've heard of people going to some site that keeps refreshing. Oh good luck to your battery. Make sure you close these things. Use a task manager. Sometimes Facebook or Twitter might be the culprit even if your refresh rates are awfully long. I do not understand this phone sometimes. At times I feel that multitasking/memory management on Android gets you into more trouble than if you just flat out restricted it like in the iPhone. I'm not saying the iPhone's restrictions are the way to go, but Apple knew what it was doing. There's a reason Android phones gobble power and pull data like mad even when you aren't aware. Random apps sometimes start. Facebook widget refreshes even though the app itself is set not to auto notify and to update on its own. So with so many things running loose, its quite easy to see why your battery can go down so fast.
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
That's exactly the idea I got from that video too, which makes sense.
[Nexus One General] bluehaze:
I'll second this, I never used to use a task killer as I figured it was just extra drain on the battery but after running across some rogue programs that kept running after being closed and draining the heck out of my battery I decided to install taskkiller and set it up to autokill apps when the screen goes off.

It's really easy to setup just install it from the market then use it to kill everything then flip through your homescreens make sure everything is up and running and go back into task killer and add everything there to the ignore list and turn on "autokill when screen off" now you don't ever have to worry about rogue apps killing your battery again and everything else will function normally.
[Nexus One General] seanhassars:
yes you can, the phone will stop whatever data it's processing and take the call.
[Nexus One General] blastik:
I'm sure 100% that while phone is receiving data over edge you wont get calls. I know because I had push enabled and afterwards I was getting SMS from my carrier that I have missed calls. It might say "ey sb is trying to call you" and then stop data transfer but for sure your will miss first call if someone is trying to reach you several times.

Check it out yourself.
[Nexus One General] psylink:
there are a lot of people who say do not use a task killer, including google devs etc.

i used advanced task killer for the longest time, being used to needing one as a WM user before getting my n1. after reading various posts on the issue, i tested without and my battery life increased.

i use juice defender now as well to turn off the apn and wifi, based on speeds/location/etc

have it set to prefer 2g (dont get 3g at home)

screebl also setup to turn screen off when not in certain position in hand

last one is setcpu (need root for this though) underclocking the cpu (including advanced setting and profiles i have set)

lowest setting for brightness

also keep gps off unless needed

i hit about 24hr from unplug til 10% w/ heavy useage, wifi on all the time (although juicedefender handles when its on/off)

just now went to kmobs UV kernel and testing that to increase my times

i've done a 24hr test from 100%>10% based on each app i've mentioned

Gingerbread is hunting for convenience

About 2 weeks ago I noticed I had received the OTA gift of Gingerbread on my

Nexus 1 and immediately installed it.Over the course of several days I saw battery life cut from an average of 24 hours to less than 10.I don't know what Gingerbread is using ALL that juice for,but I turned off wifi when I knew I would

not be needing it at work and that alone has been a significant benefit.Give it a try.Gingerbread is definitely hunting for something besides a connection.
[Nexus One General] James Bell:
Just my two cents but...

- Task killers are for people who do not understand that Android manages memory use for you. If it's in memory it can resume quickly, that does not mean it is chewing CPU cycles.

- Battery conditioning works. Run your battery all the way down. Restart phone again and run until it shuts off, repeat 3-4 times. Then with power off, charge for 8-10 hours. I believe this works more because it teaches Android about your battery capacity, not some conditioning of the Li-ion cell.

- If all else fails, do a factory reset. Add apps back like one per day and check to see if suddenly battery life drops.

- Realize that the N1 should get through a day with no problem. It should make 2 days if it's used very carefully. But if you're expecting it to make 3-4 days like your old Nokia from 2002, think again.
[Nexus One General] subvecto:
more battery consumption to less: wifi, 3G, 2G... Simply due to required transmit power...

Push doesn't poll all the time; keeps socket open hence the connection so server side sends (pushes) whatever comes when it comes... similar to passive ftp connection... Of course if you have heavy traffic neither push or pull will help you on saving juice.

This thread is more relevant since 2.3.3. than ever before. With slight usage I'm needing to charge 3 times a day. By the time I leave work the phone has shut off with a few texts, a few webpages, a few youtube videos, and some PDF reading.

Today I turned off wifi, gps, and sync. have browsed the web a bunch over 3G, checked email a few times, but nothing else. here are my stats:

7h 7m 57s on battery

43% remaining

Display 68%

Android OS 13%

Cell Standby 6%

Phone Idle 5%

Email 4%

Wi-Fi 2%

Yesterday I had low battery warning within 6 hours.

i just dont get it. with gingerbread i'm getting better battery life than i ever have before on my nexus one. on monday i went 12 hours and still had 70% left, with emails and whatnot going all day. its increased so dramatically i couldnt be happier.

something weird is going on with certain installs or something is all i can think.
