I can comfortably get two days use from my Desire after several full battery cycles. My use is fairly heavy, ranging from calls, texts (the missus is always texting me!) and emails through to apps syncing and browsing.
[Desire General] cq.dude:
Having used several 'smart phones' including HTCs and iPhones, I'd say getting by with a full days use (not just leaving on standby) us the best these phones can manage. For the way I use them at least, which is push mails, texting, browsing, apps, using both 3G and wifi.

Theoretically, lithium ion batteries don't have to be 'primed'. Just don't let them run down to zero. But opinions still vary. :/
[Desire General] lukeatluke:
Just to mention some interesting informations:

Opened apps were:

Callmeter,

Dolphin HD,

Facebook,

Handcent sms,

HTC IME mod,

People,

Juicedefender,

Jorte,

3g watch dog,

I 'm running stock froyo wich launcher pro, and my battery went down from 100 to 95% with 32:22min long call via bluetooth headset, mobile network and WiFi was off between the call.

I 'm usually getting around 20h with My baterry so this isnt so bad :-)

Took me a bit more than 2minutes to wrote this post, i disconnected the phone just before the call and im on 90% after 48min, and im having wifi on for 3min now :-P

Take car and post useful stuff
[Desire General] lukeatluke:
Well, happily noone posted a reply in last few hours so i can just continue my last post, i did for 82min more. calls with bluetooth headset, and i had my wlan most of the time on and my baterry is on 30, between this 7hours i lost 70% so this wasnt quite a good run...

Sadly im not understanding what for most people heavy use is. Not to mention that i surf on net for more than 10% of my bluetooth calls....
[Desire General] ext23:
i've had my desire for two weeks; in the beginning i was only getting like 6 hours out of it. awful.

since swapping over to opendesire and getting rid of a lot of unneeded apps the battery is MUCH better...but still not up near the 24 hours+ mark that people are referring to.

with average usage my phone dropped from 100% to 95% in an hour.

what are the best procedures for stretching the battery life with the li-ion batteries? eg. wait for it to deplete to like 20% and then charge all the way to 100%? or just give it short bursts whenever possible?

if i could get this battery lasting up near 2 days i would be in heaven...
[Desire General] lukeatluke:
Well, just to post interesting info:

Since last unplugged: 7h39min

[Desire General] zigackly:
I am totally stumped. HELP!

In Battery History, my Running is 20%, whereas Screen on is only 6.5%.

After checking SystemPanel, Watchdog and a few other apps, im consistently getting Android System as the max resource user.

Non rooted Desire

-Only gmail is set to push, weather updates once daily. Everything else manual refresh

-widgets are Battstatt, beautiful widgets, Calwidget, Meridian Music Player, 3g Watchdog, Astrid tasks.

-Using LauncherPro(free ver)

-Wifi, GPS toggled manually

How do i check whats chewing resources within the Android system? Ive tried calibrating the battery, but it doesnt seem to work for me, and i get 4197 volts after a full charge that lasts me about a day.

the battery should theoretically last a lot longer, but ....

Would appreciate any inputs. Thanks

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pharaohmd:
Question.....

And yes, I know it's Verizon, but we might as well ask...

When I started working T-Mobile TS it was just after the HP IPAQ mess where the software issues with WM software - it being so new and not really tested that the phone hardware eventually died out based on the number of crashes and restarts required throughout the day.

After about 3 or 4 months T-Mobile started to offer customers who owned the IPAQ and experienced the issues a replacement/upgrade at either a heavy discount or completely free depending on how often the customer account referenced them calling to get help or report an issue. This offer was to (1) get the phone out of people's hands and into the rubbish bin, (2) reduce the number of TS calls daily, (3) end the regular hassle of dealing with MS and HP on patches and fixes, and (4) to improve customer care. Note the customer is last there as the others were costing them more money than the customer's they lost based on the problems probably thanks to their early term fee.

I bought the ERIS basically for 2 reasons - (1) IMHO HTC kicks Moto's and Apple's butts on phones, (2) I want ANDROID. I had a MyTouch with T-Mobile just before coming to Verizon and was looking into upgrading to HTC's new phone over there instead of changing carriers. I checked out the Hero and Samsung's Android phone with Sprint. I was a dedicated and loyal Blackberry user for 5+ years defending and promoting their devices, working on software development within TMO, and went through direct RIM training on BES, BIS, their handheld sw, and thier hw configurations.

SO - does anyone know or has heard anything about Verizon offering us a way to move to the Incredible?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiverpoolsNo9:
This is probably in the wrong section since it has nothing to do with dev.

What is wrong with the Eris that it requires mass replacement?

I have heard of a few isolated cases where people had been offered an upgrade to the Incredible, but its probably the squeaky wheel getting the grease and someone trying to get the customer out of their face in the Verizon store.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer169:
Absolutely!! Wait until the end of your 2 year, or cough up about $500. The Eris really dont seem to have as many of the issues that other phones have had in the past. I havent had any problems with mine on 1.5, root 2.1 or any of the other roms I've tried.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LexusBrian400:
Yep, say what you want about it. But its hands down the BEST phone I've ever owned, and I've had a cell phone plan since 1997.

A little root, a little OC, and a custom ROM. What more could you want?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDanimal:
I see you posted this exact same thing on android forums. Being a tech for VZW, we haven't seen a huge influx of calls or tickets about any particular issue; but i'm also not denying the fact that there are some common bugs that people are seeing but it's not near as many as it appears. Any software problems will most likely be corrected in a MR as is the general practice.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcunwired:
Danimal, can you drop a few more details on the bugs. My wife has an eris and has been pretty frustrated by dropped calls, lockups and blank screens ever since the 2.1 Ota hit her phone (not rooted). She's called support several times, The techs have been pretty decent, but it's still not fixed. The last guy she talked to actually suggested that she try rooting and overclocking.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
I haven't had any problems at all on my eris and I'm using leaked v3. My girlfriend has the same phone (ota 2.1) and she complains about the phone randomly calling people but I think she just doesn't put the lock on. Other than that its the best phone I've ever had. Can't wait for my upgrade though and get that moto phone with a 2ghz processor they are coming out with.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkow19:
Nah, there has been no official announcement of any 2 Ghz phone. The Droid X or Extreme is like a regular Droid minus the keyboard plus some steroids. Moto's CEO or whoever said it, said he would love to ship a 2 Ghz phone by the end of the year. Who knows if it is realistic, I don't think it is. First someone needs to ship a phone with the snapdragon 1.5 Ghz dual-core processor that's already out, then go from there.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harleylowrider:
There have been MANY complaints about a sound problem with the ERIS and I am one of those poor soles. The sound on my ERIS just stops working at random. Can't hear it ring when someone calls me, when I make a call i can't hear it ringing.. they will answer but I can't hear them speaking, also it has incredibly low media sound volume. If I reboot the phone it will work for a short time then mess up again. This problem is posted all over the Android Forums. Some people have no problems with the sound. It may be a bad batch? I have spoken to Verizon tech support several times and they are letting me get a new phone.. hopfully that will solve the problem??
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comptontravis:
So if I get this straight...

This post is about exploiting the problems with the eris to get a free upgrade to the Incredible...

Sounds a little wrong to me....

But if you get a free Incredible out of it...

Worth it?

I guess I wouldn't mind.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonscapri:
I would try using a task manager of some kind or another. Advanced Task Killer or Task Panel are good in my book. You can setup certain apps on an auto kill list , and ignore list. That helped mine out, but from my understanding is that There were a fews issues that did come up after the OTA. You can try rooting the phone, but if you don't know what you are doing you can cause more problems than it's worth. I would try using a task manager, and get rid of some apps that have duplicate functions.

Hi,

I have an HTC Touch P3452, Can anybody please let me know how to update my windows software in it. Currently my ROM is 2.20.720.2B WWE. My question is is there any updated version for this ROM, if Yes, then how to update it and to which version should I update it.........

Just an information - I am very good with mobiles, so a step by step process will help me a lot.

Thanks in advance
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Your best bet is to look into the rom section, as all the information you need is in there.

For the updated rom for your current stock rom, you could look at your carriers website to see if they released one.

I'd suggest custom roms - I use onyx on my elves and it runs really well :)

Apologies if this has been answered previously.

I've been going through page after page of guides/instructions regarding root access and some of the various tools available. I've tried them all - does anyone know if there is any way to remove this frickin network lock that Orange have installed? I'm guessing the normal ROM updates don't touch the part of the software where this s**t is stored otherwise it would have been removed already.

Does anyone know where Orange have stashed this lovely piece of code in the hardware?

Thanks,

Hey Guys,

Did a search, but couldn't see this specific issue come up.

Been trying to sync my Google Calender all morning but even though all the boxes are ticked and the little circle arrows show up next to the sync section, the phone just won't start syncing.

Never had a problem with this at all before and it's now becoming very frustrating.

I have no other syncs activated apart from the google calender and it's not working.

Anyone come across this issue or know a solution?

Seems it wouldn't sync whilst I had low memory symbol up. (13.8mb available) so deleted app and now working.

Bloody annoying!

Hi Guys, just got my Desire today, so far i,m impressed but for one problem.I live in Australia, I bought the fone from China, I either need to find out how to turn of predictive text in SMS/MMS messaging and Google search, or chnge the language pack. Although I have english language on the fone, I have (english Taiwan) (english malaysia) ect ect but no english Australia , USA or any other English speaking country.

How do I change this, I want to rid the fone of the extra un needed language packs or whatever HTC calls them. Its a real pain trying totype an address in Google search and having to tap the so called predictive text alternative.

Please help guys.

Other than that I,m statring to like this thing, I come from Iphone 3Gs so things are slightly different, and guess what, I now have reception in my home.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Everything out there now but the official 2.1 RUU....if you have 2.1 one on your phone now and you aren't currently rooted, you are out of luck until they get a working exploit.

Not sure if that answered you question, you didn't leave a lot of details. FResh, Damage, or the Zen MY Touch Slide port are all 2.1 one roms that maintain root.

If you are looking for a bone stock 2.1 with root there is a SprintUpdate2.zip file Damage made the day..well hour.. it was droped.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rt1oo:
did you run the Official Final Sprint RUU? If so, you have lost root access.

If you did not run the Official Final Sprint RUU (IE only ran a test RUU, or still on cupcake), then the answer to your question is that all of the custom roms in this section have root access

Okay, for those of you who haven't fired up your favorite tech-news site yet, AT&T announced that they are doing away with their $30/month unlimited data plan. Instead, we are going to have to pay $25/month for 2GB..... What the %^$@?????? On average, do we consume more than 2GB/month of data on our Rhodiums? Between the browsing, streaming, and navigation programs I use, I'm not sure what my total data uses are. Please, someone calm me down and tell me that I'm going to be okay. :D ...yeah, but seriously, dang.........this sucks.......

*****UPDATE******

I called AT&T customer support and found out that they are not forcing existing customers off unlimited. You have until June, 7th to get the unlimited plan, after that it is gone forever! Like I said, if you have it now, you're still good.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bwnotredame06:
I saw that this morning too, it's the final straw. When they go to change it I will tell them I've a Customer since 1995 (SWB Wireless) , and I will be changing carriers. I've been unhappy since the merger everything has gone down hill. Also I will inform them since they are violating the contract I signed up for, they shouldn't be charging a breach of contract fee, but even at that, if they do I will gladly pay the $250 and tell them to shove it up their USB port !

I read the release. This is only for new customers and current customer will not be forced to move to their new plans. I tried an iPhone earlier this year. If this new plan had been in place, AT&T wouldn't have even been a consideration for me.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Numan2:
As stated above this change

ONLY

applies to NEW contracts....if your currently on the unlimited data plan then this will NOT affect you I only hope they're going to use this time that they're trying to buy to improve their data speed and coverage.

My personal opnion is the problems they're having is from all the iphone and ipad sheeple choking down the network with the gazillions of stupid useless apps they're downloading with no clue as to what they do other than "billybob down the street said this is a good ap to have" meanwhile it's got their phone runing as a proxy server for billybob to exploit.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] McHale:
I like how they keep screwing the customer and saying it's for the customer's benefit. AT&T is the new Verizon. Looks like it's time to start considering Sprint and T-Mobile now. AT&T is clearly down a path to screw customers while not improving service. They will continue to keep pulling these stunts until it's made very public and they are forced to get defensive about what they are doing.

f'ing bastards.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dressanderc:
The rep that I spoke with on the phone said that they were doing this to satisfy the customers that did not want to pay the $30/month requirement for smartphones. They will have two rates $25/month for 2GB and $15/month for 220MB. This way, one could get a new phone and just pay the $15/month to have a nice, new smartphone. That's my theory anyway.
