[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
I definatly will say that the first few charges of the battery do NOT last long at all, battery drains REALLY fast.

This may be placebo, as I know that Android will get more efficient as the OS "settles down"

I always make sure to let it run until the device shuts off by itself before charging. Then charge to full and repeat. I try to do this 5 times, but it helps that I have a hero I can drain with, then charge and always have a full battery in my Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
so completely drain it then charge, drain, charge, etc?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biriye4l:
lithium ion batteries do not need conditioned ... and actually prefer to be charged frequently (or so I have read). Just do a google search for lithium ion conditioning and almost every reference says that only the older technologies need it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazglenn3:
It's actually the phone that needs to learn the batteries fully charged to fully drained levels. A couple of full charge-drain cycles teaches the battery meter in the phone. Same deal for notebook computer batteries.

it was a way to get you guys to drool!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zonyl:
* Not sure if this applies to the battery in the EVO as I have never taken one apart yet ***

From what I recall most notebook (if not all) Lithium * batteries have an integrated charging / safety chip on the battery http://www.sbs-forum.org/ that maintains information about the battery level (via SMbus) and charge information. It is this chip that will report the current battery level and will disallow you to charge a battery at a certain point due to safety concerns.

What is common though is that it takes a couple of cycles for the onboard / outboard battery chip to learn the charge level which the host OS will just blindly read for the most part.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kphenix:
condition your battery

When you have a new cell phone battery there is a residual charge left from manufacturing..it may even say it is fully charged but it is a false reading. You need to charge the battery before you start using it for 8-12 hours. Then, use it down to about 25% and charge for another 8-12 hours. Repeat this process for the first 3-5 charges and then your battery will be conditioned.

After the initial conditioning your battery will last the longest if you do not let it run out until it dies. It is best to charge when at 25%-30% capacity.

Good luck!:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Wow. First off, thanks for resurrecting a thread that's over a year old.

Second, your post is completely wrong. Lithium ion batteries do not need to be conditioned at all. Just plug it in, let it charge, and you are good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootny:
They do need conditioning
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Says who? Lithium ion batteries do not need any conditioning.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootny:
Really cuz It took a month for my battery to get 36+ he's because I didn't charge it right ( i use sbc) when I got and with my 3d I get 24+ hrs due to battery conditioning. Say what you will my girl does the same with her iPhone and get 2 1/2 days out of it while another friend of mine didn't and her battery is dead after twelve hours... no dis respect dog but it works contrary to beliefs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilman355:
Conditioning works for unknown reasons. Not for the reasons, most people say. And its true lithium ion don't have memory any more so its not nearly as effective to condition. Also where are you getting those results? Those are f***ing insane
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootny:
Results for the Evo? I use a 2600 mah sprint battery and when I use an eBay battery 3500 mah I get 14hrs max ( weird but it was only $15 for 2)... gonna try seidio next and see how they work... and w the 3d I ( also the 4g) I charge til green then unplug and plug til green ten times as suggested by xda thread that was on miui website only
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterbound:
Use the search please..calibration methods are tried and true..nothing more to see here..let this thread die as the other poster indicated.

Search for battery calibration. I would copy and past the url's for you but I literally found 10+ threads about calibration methods for the EVO within seconds so it will be super easy for you to read one of the methods and apply for what we now see as perfect results.

As far as I know now, nobody complains about EVO battery life anymore unless they are using something to drain the power, bad coded app, kernel or poorly coded ROM etc. It happens sometimes but usually enough information out there to support fixing the issues once you see them.

Hope that helps and good luck..

Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jack E:
I've noticed in ROMs such as those made by dutty often have the tab backgrounds removed in favour of a plain black one. Does anyone know of or could make a cab which restores the background found in the stock ROMs (not bg4all which displays your wallpaper on all tabs). Thanks in advance :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkstar516:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] malhznoi:
See this one is't the one you looking for :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jack E:
well yeah but in the stock ROM's it is the background for all the tabs except the home one. In the dutty one it has been removed so all the tabs have a black background.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] malhznoi:
you have to use BG4all cab

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jack E:
sorry thats not quite what i need, that enables the same wallpaper for all tabs (the one you select) whereas in the stock ROMs it has the gradient one on the music tabs etc, whilst still having your own custom one on the home tab.

I'll try and explain better:

[Touch HD General] pisiiki:
Maybe I'm dumb, maybe I'm stupid. But one thing is for sure, when I am on Android in the HD I can't reboot the thing without doing a reset. Please can someone explain me what is going on? I can't understand it at all. Is it impossible just to hit the power for some seconds and let the thing shut down or show a menu?

Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] jdmba:
I have my stock 1300mah and bought the 1750mah which I am far less thrilled with than others (it is longer, but not much). I note some people like the idea of having multiple batteries, but my view of the Incredible cover, and the tiny hooks that keep it in place, is that one is better off not opening and closing it too much. Am I incorrect here?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gadget!:
I would tend to agree with you, I used to change batteries quite often on my Touch Pro 2 but after the tabs broke off the second cover I stopped unless absolutely neccessary.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Joe92T:
I also got the Seido 1750 battery but it was a big improvement for me... i used to have to charge my phone every night and it would be dead by the end of the day from like a 9am to 10pm spread.. now with the seido one it goes a day and a half before dying
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jdmba:
Hmmmmmmmm

You and I are running VERY different apps, I guess. Mine is in my pocket the whole day, albeit in a very old steel and concrete building. I suspect battery drain has a lot to do with signal, anyway.

I am running BatteryTime Lite, which I know is a bad idea; and I do pull email and weather every hour or so; but I could never do a day and a half.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gadget!:
My experience with the Seidio is about the same as yours.

I used my Touch Pro 2 battery for a few days and definately an improvement. I just didn't like the way it fit in the incredible so I ordered the one that's made for the phone (haven't got it yet).

I can get about a day and a half out of mine with the stock battery in it. That's with light to moderate useage, 4 or 5 calls a day, 3 or 4 texts and about a dozen emails (plus I probably just play with it for at least an hour or so). I have it set to download weather and email every hour. I don't know if it makes a difference but I turn of Bluetooth unless I am using it and I only use the wifi when in my office with a good connection.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gadget!:
Update - Seidio 175 mAh Battery

OK, I received my Seidio battery and have only ran 2 charges through it but here is my experience so far...

With my normal usage I get approximately 1 1/2 days from the stock battery and it is DEAD.

I have the Seidio battery in now and I took it off the charger yesterday morning, it is now 11:00am here and my battery is at 66%.

I don't know about you but in my eyes that is a major improvement!

A note on the Seidio battery:

It is not the same battery as their Touch Pro 2 battery, it fits better. I used the touch Pro 2 battery in it for a day or 2 but regardless of what everybody is saying, the Touch Pro 2 battery doesn't fit right in my books.

Sure, it fits in the phone and you can put the battery door on it just fine but it is tight.

When you really notice it is taking the cover off with the Touch Pro 2 battery in the Incredible. It is hard to get the cover off. Maybe it's just me but I would rather spend the extra money on the right battery than have to replace the cover because the very fragile little tabs that hold it on have broken off from being over stressed.

Just my 2 cents worth, I'm sure the results will vary with other users.

I currently work out of my home and have a good strong wifi connection, the above test is with wifi on for the entire time, and Bluetooth off when not in use (not really sure if that matters yet). I only use bluetooth when I go some where in my truck so I had it on for about an hour yesterday.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
So, I want to get this Telstra crap off my phone and run the base unbranded Desire ROM, don't even care about rooting it. I just want to get the Telstra crap off and not have to worry about them not pushing the 2.2 update to their devices when it comes out. Telstra isn't known for their service, so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't update to 2.2 right away/at all. On top of that, the amount of crap they pack on the device takes up probably 75% of the ROM, it's ridiculous! Anyways, all the guides I see to making a gold card and flashing a debranded ROM are for Windows... Is there a Linux, preferably Ubuntu, guide to doing this? Is it possible? Is it more risky, less risky? Anyone have any input on this? If possible I was just going to flash it to the new 1.21.405.2 official ROM... would there be any issues with that, is there something better I should flash? I would like to keep it official so I can get the 2.2 update as soon as it comes out. I would also like to minimize the chance of causing damage to the Desire. Thanks!!
[Desire General] mhewitson:
Is it just making the goldcard you need to do in Ubuntu?

I followed post 4 in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4577777 and had no issues.

You dont need the hex editor, you just dd the image file onto the card and voila!

Hey everyone,

I am a long time visitor but this will be my first post.

I was reading and watching various demos of windows embedded compact 7 and I realized that this is the OS us windows mobile users really wanted for our devices (at the risk of making assumptions). A flexible and powerful OS with great windows connectivity. I have seen it run on the Tegra 2 platform but I was wondering if a Snapdragon equipped phone (such as the HD2) could run this OS.

Windows Phone 7 is good but I think its too tied down and not in the spirit of the old Pocket PC days, maybe I am just a nostalgic sod but I remember the feeling of using my shiny new iPaq with a color LCD and being amazed :)

I am hoping to tap into the community's considerable expertise to answer this one. Also, if technically feasible, maybe we could start the porting process for this already available OS. With Silverlight I am sure many members could come up with innovative and original UIs. The extensibility appears boundless and I think that is what this community loves best.

I've tried a couple of TV guides from the market, and while they do the job. Is there any that can add reminders to the calender?

I've read that UK-TV GUIDE by Luke Shan does this, but I've tried a couple of shows, and done a sync all but they just dont seem to show up in the agenda.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Desire Themes and Apps] rolfd:
It says on it that it has a program reminder, either native or google calendar. I'm going to have a go now and see what it does. I'll get back to you.

Edit: Try opening it, press menu then settings and reminder method, set this to google calendar.

I use record it which does what you're after. The same developer has a free version which doesn't include record requests - but might have calendar entries if you check.

I have a feeling we will be hearing this A LOT, and I mean A LOT come FRIDAY JUNE 4th. So I though I would facilitate the excitement into one thread... For us brave ones who had to patiently wait till JUNE 4th. Ill most likely be posting where I got my EVO, time I got my EVO, length of time in line and my overall first impressions of this majestic beast!

*I do apologize ahead of time for the over use of exclamation marks (!)I wont be able to contain my excitement!*

Feel free to post your first Pics taken with or of the phone here...

Update: So I got it!!!!!!!

First of all I woke up with a hangover.....

as tired as I was I still woke up and drove to my local RS and I was the first one there. Eventually 28 other people showed up at 6:30 or so... I got my EVO first thing I did was throw a Zagg on it. My # has not yet ported so I havent even turned on the phone!!!!! I hate you AT&t!!!!!

If you say so, but why doesn't the black Evo that is already in the wild 5,000 times say "Supersonic" on the back like it's blanco brother?
[EVO 4G General] njbianco:
Supersonic is the codename HTC gave to the Evo when it was still in testing.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
Exactly. So the alleged white version would not be labeled as such, correct? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] Tikerz:
Right, it would be labeled Evo but we don't have picture of one yet. Until we do, we're assuming since HTC made a white Supersonic prototype that we might be getting a white Evo also.
