Have a look at what your wifi is set for connecting and downloading emails.

Mine was set to connect every 5mins and I didn't get round to checking this feature for the first couple of days.

During that time my phone needed charging twice a day.

Ithen changed the timing from every 5mins to every 1hr (and nothing else), now instead of charging 2 x daily I get a whole days use with some to spare.....

When the machine lays idle wifi is the biggest battery eater.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JaGuR:
My initial thoughts would be something to do with the fact, you are charging through USB, and not the mains power supply.

I have found USB, never fully charges my phones, and even when it says 100%, it very quickly drops below, after some use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rodh257:
thanks for your thoughts guys.

My initial charge was on USB, and I was using it while charging (and unplugged it once or twice), maybe it's just got bad calibration or something as a result and thinks its running low when it isn't? dont know if this is likely or not.

My second charge was via the mains power, with a UK->Australia power adapter.

THen next one was USB

Then last night I charged it using my girlfriends iPhone power adapter (which is a USB -> mains, so I plugged my cable into it).

My exchange email is every 5 minutes, but I kind of want that to stay like that, I might try moving it if I can't think of anything else. Gmail I think can't do anything but push?

my wifi is connected most of hte day, at home and at work, though I just turned off the setting for alerting for new networks, maybe that will help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaRkMyk:
Happened to me before.. even if I turned off "Sync" in the "Power Control Widget" or setting the phone on 2G Mode.

but I found a possible solution.

Try to un-check the "Background Data" under "Settings - Accounts and Sync". I noticed that the phone still uses data even if I killed all the tasks. Also make sure that you don't have any auto sync settings like "Feeds and Updates", Facebook, Tweeter, etc.. (if you don't need it)

*Android Market needs this "Background Data", it will ask you to turn it on. Just turn it off after..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blackerwater:
Startup auditor doesn't require root and seems better then autostarts . I Just bought it. works great ....just an fyi
[Galaxy S I9000 General] twit_xp:
I too have the Sanny Galaxy S from Singtel but i flashed the euro fw to get rid of all the bloatware.

Could go into the location menu under settings and turn off the 'get position via wireless networks' option as i find that with that on, the wifi keeps turning itself on although the icon does not pop up in the task bar.

Battery lasts about a full day for me so far with moderate usage (about 1hour of music, 30mins web browsing, push Gmail and Hotmail + Exchange syncing every hour)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FrezoreR:
Draining the battery is bad. These batteries you should try to charge whenever possible. Draining it will lower the capacity.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Surely that's just an opinion.

I know there are differing views, comments, answers, etc. on the correct way to keep a battery in tip-top-condition and this is where confusion creeps in.

My personal opinion is this ~ Use the battery how you feel you would like to use it.

Charge it when you want to charge and not when your told to charge.

If the battery starts to loose it's charge I'm not going to lose any sleep in buying a replacement. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mbr01:
About the battery discussion: You don't even know if samsung build in a sort of minimum capacity for the battery. So when it says in the software 1%. It might actually be 10-15%. I have experience with these batteries and if these batteries are truly drained these batteries you can throw them away. So I guess samsung must have made a protection for that, cause I figure they will get drained a lot by users.

Now my experience with the battery. After about my 4th full charge I've experienced better perfomrance (subjectivley). I did a little test.

16.38 100% Turn-on

16.39 100% Play HD-MKV 720p video at full brightness, full volume

19.49 066% Video stop

01.00 ???% play asphalt 5

01.10 ???% start internet+play music

02.00 016% stop internet, go to sleep.

09.00 012% wake up

11.00 010% Now

So that's 18 hours: including 3 hours and 10 minutes of video (looks amazing btw)

In between I've been using the phone as well, but not so intensively. Sync for exchange as well as Hotmail was on. Been playing with GPS, been playing with WIFI.

Not too bad I'd say.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
That's fine... no one is asking you to agree with me and I most certainly am not asking any other to do the same.

You have your opinion, I have mine ~ whether you agree with it or not is immaterial as it's just an opinion not a damning rule.

I have no problem with anyone who wants to be controlled by other peoples opinions or whatever some fancy web site indicates as to how you should use a battery.

I'm also quite knowledgeable myself in battery performance figures and the different concepts of battery design so I do not need to be pointed to any outside battery web links.

btw... the battery for the Galaxy S is a Li-Pol and not a Li-Ion.

I'm not going to point you to any links as I'm sure you can find them yourself. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Yes, agree... Is there some form of protection? Well being a Li-Pol one would like to think so.

As to the battery itself ~ over time it does seem to produce good results.

I don't play any games but do use it for most other things.

I don't conform to any rules in 'how to charge' and just charge when I either have the time, have a power connection or simply when I feel like it.

So far my battery has lasted 27hrs and I still have 41%

That's proof to me I don't need to worry about when to charge. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
thanks for this :)! no need to wait for root now :D ( I mean for a better way to root haha)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gadjet0:
Mine says Li-Ion ??

Are there different types?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shaunm1989:
Can confirm my Galaxy S also has a 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ogen:
Pretty sure every sgs uses a li ion batt :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Yes, the batteries are Li-Ion.

At the time all indications were that the batteries were Li-Pol but this has now been proven to have changed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tada1228:
Not only is the HTC Pure uglier than the Diamond 2, it also loses VGA video recording.. This really sucks because I know AT&T had intentionally made it like that, but why would they do something like that?!

What also sucks is that many sites list the HTC Pure to have VGA video recording. One of the reason I bought the HTC Pure was for the camera/video upgrade.. ;(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
I would assume in AT&T's limited view, they saw the camcorder only as a tool for sending MMS videos so they didn't want to clog their network with VGA vids.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NoNco:
Got home today and found an email from HTC in the inbox.

Basicly saying that from this week everyone who owns a Hero will start getting the over the air update for Eclair Android 2.1 consisting of 2 parts. Second update will be near the end of June. Second update will erase all info on the phone etc....

This is for the Nordic phones.

Not long to wait then. Good news i think.

Anyone else get this email ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Not trying to be rude here.. but if you check the other posts on here youll find this has been discussed already.. looking at the top 10 atm I can see 3 posts that I know of that have this info.

Youll find your answer in them.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NoNco:
true

True, i should have probably have worded it diferently that its an anouncment from HTC's E-Club to its members via email.

I havnt seen that posted here. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
Yeah... the eClub... sounds like a really trusted source...

We have gotten thousands of mails from support or whatever, why do you think a message from eClub, a service below customer support is worth extra mentioning?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Actually I was meaning the actual press release by htc. Which is mentioned in those threads. Not to mention the countless tech, android and mobile news sites that have reported on this. But sure, go ahead, you clearly aren't wasting your and others time.

So no its not a surprise, and I am a little annoyed by you having named your post as such.

Make sure you Force CDMA mode, and remove the Sprint SIM card or any other SIM card before you boot into Android

You may want to make sure you aren't on roaming only mode too, sometimes that can cause a signal fail (it did for me).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Vgamer4550:
Hey all,

I have owned my Tilt 2 for a little over 6 months now and have seemed to have problems with it since day one. Its a little hard to describe the exact issue but I will do My Best.

First of all, I am currently Using the Latest Energy Rom for the Phone from xda developers. I have installed both hot Fixes on my Phone from HTC and I do a hard reset every time I upgrade my rom.

This is a problem I have had since getting the phone and seemed to be present in the Stock Rom that came from ATT so I am not convinced that it is a software problem, but I thought I would get some opinions here first. My Concern is that the phone itself has issues and I may be out of luck because I have had the phone and dealt with the issues for so long.

So, My Biggest problem is one with Freezing. I have to reset my phone at least 5-10 times a day. I always have. Sometimes I even have to remove the battery to get the phone to reset. I do quite a bit of Texting with my phone and the freezing almost always seems to happen after I have sent a text and am trying to get back to the Home/Today Screen. The Phone just sits there, I can hit the end call button as much as I want and it will not go back to the home screen. The Phone is not completely locked tho because most of the time the Calling features still work, and I can even hit the windows button and get into the menu where I can get to task manager or a software reset button. If I try to hit the home Icon tho nothing seems to happen. The Phone just sits there and I have to reset it to get it working again.

This is frustrating me because the phone is not actually frozen, it seem to be stuck thinking but will never come back to life. When the phone works, its works great and does everything I need it to do. The Constant freezing and resets are driving me crazy. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am pretty tech savy and have been installing roms on my phones for a couple years now. Please Help before I toss this thing out the window.

It is usually not desired to post the same information twice on different forums. The NRG thread has some responses to THIS EXACT POST that was made there. I know that cut-n-paste is easy, but avoid the temptation.

Will Do, I was just not sure where this questions belonged as I am unclear as to whether this is an NRG issue or a Phone Issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
I have not had this experience, but I have read a lot of posts in the tilt forums where people complain of slow/laggy behavior using the htc messagaing tabs... I wanted to avoid that, so I just mapped my push-to-talk button to the windows mobile messaging client and use it. You might try doing that, if the HTC is what you are using now...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
Not the right place to ask.

And I don't think that there is a free way to unlock it.

Call Vodafone and ask for unlock code.

Thanks for sharing...........
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] korafatoulis:
:D. This is not the right forum for the NOKIA S40 series phones.

But, lucky you, I have a solution;).

The Nokia 2730 has a code that represents the region of the actual device and the network company also.

When connecting to Nokia update service, the main server checks your phone's special code and it sudjests you the latest regional and network ROM.

So the only way is to trick the Nokia server to think that you have an unlocked (network free) device. You can specify / change the region as well.

There is a program called Nemesis service suite that changes your code. Google it, study the tutorials, check the 2730 code list with your region (e.g Chinese) but network free.

Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
unlock phone by software update

Nemesis is ok to find product code very useful by example if you

1.want to change languages in your phone -may be useful...

2.debranding phone

but.. I do not think you will unlock phone by make a software update

It would meant that they at Nokia are stupid is not it?

also do not forget you are using Nokia software to do that:)

it can be done by jaf unlocker interface but we talk here about hardware tools...

by the way some people say it is possible to unlock E51 by software update- change product code

try maybe it works for you before do a check maybe phone is already unlocked :)

so de-branding one thing un-locking another thing
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
I posted part of this in charnsingh_online's 780p thread, but I feel it's more appropriate to post here instead so that everyone sees it, so here goes -

The biggest problems with the Nexus One's video recorder are the mediocre audio recording format (AMR 8kHz) and the low frame rates in decent lighting conditions. This is not acceptable, because the Nexus One is Google's so-called "superphone" and we have seen the iPhone and Droid produce good quality video recordings (ie. constant frame rates, good audio) on arguably lower hardware specs.

Here's a link to a Google feature request that a Nexus One owner posted way back in January:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6156

Please visit the page I have linked, and if you have a Google account (I am sure you all do!), click on the star at the top left (and leave comments too!) so that it increases the number of stars and thus brings it to the attention of the Google team.

It may be a longshot that they do something about it, but it doesn't hurt to at least let them know about it!

EDIT: The issue above is actually a general Android feature request, but for the Nexus One you could also visit a similar thread in the Nexus One help forum:

[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
I do have to say, though, that the framerate reduction is a very positive thing for low-light videos compared to the Milestone/Droid. My N1 can take beautiful videos of performances in nightclubs and on outdoor nighttime stages by slowing down the framerate to capture enough light. Under the same conditions, my Milestone produces a high-framerate video of... total darkness punctuated by a few bright lights.

But it would be nice to have some more fine-grained controls over this.
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
Image quality is all fine and dandy, but when you are only getting 9fps in a lit room then the video is garbage anyway. In the same conditions with the Milestone the frame rate is at a constant 24 fps and the picture is a bit grainy due to the increased ISO(?), which is still acceptable still (plus you can use the LED light to add some more brightness).
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Sure, but under the conditions I described (dark room with stage lighting, basically), Milestone fails completely and N1 succeeds. The LED light will not help under these circumstances - the stage lighting is plenty bright, but the Milestone simply fails to capture anything at all.

Here's an example N1 video in a nightclub - one of my favourite Vancouver drag queens in fact :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc4Kk0h4cL0

Yes, the frame rate isn't great and the audio sucks... but the colours are absolutely brilliant. I didn't have my Milestone yet at the time I filmed this but I've tried using it in similar conditions. All the Milestone produces is complete darkness with a few tiny flashes of light. Not even grainy... absolute darkness.
[Nexus One General] AndroidPerson:
Thanks for this. Im so sick of hearing about the cruddy things about the nexus that arent hardware related. If it doesnt have the hardware i understand the limitations, but it seems like google just didnt really try with this damn phone. I mean fps sucks and we couldve had 720p recording? What the **** is going on over there at android headquarters? Whos in charge of quality control? And they didnt even think 720 was POSSIBLE? Talk about bush league.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Good idea...have visit the link and left my comments :cool:
[Nexus One General] WaPeR32:
Star added! ;)
[Nexus One General] chordmasta:
Thanks for doing this.

IMO, 720p is over-rated. 480 @ 16:9 (or 16:8 or w/e) is more file-size effiecient anyway. I think the biggest issue is audio. 8k?! That's insanely low. Un-necessarily low. We need a fix to this seriously badly.
[Nexus One General] norazi:
yes 720p is over-rated. id rather have a high quality (high bitrate/high framerate) 480p... its like an upscaled DVD vs a low bitrate 720p movie rip from piratebay
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
Agreed with both of you. Personally, I don't think it's such a big deal to have 720p when the frame rate and audio is so mediocre in the first place. Takes up too much storage too. We need to fix the bigger issues first.
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
BTW the link to the entire Issues list is found on the "Issues" tab in that URL I showed in the first post. Or you can access it through here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list

You're going to have more luck posting this in the nexus forums than the android forums.

You will not be seeing support for propietary codecs on the Android base OS.

The only way you will see it is at the device level. Licensing issues prevent it from being incorporated into Android, but not into specific devices.

Hi guys. I have a problem with my hero. I was jogging one week ago and I had the phone in my pocket. And the rain came, I start running back home and I forget about the phone. When I got home the phone was all wet and had a lot of water inside. I tried to dry it up but the nothing. Today I got the phone back from a guy who rapiers phones. He manage to dry it up. The phone is opening until the first screen were is written "HERO", but it`s not going any further. That guy said that the phone needs a new software, but he does`t have a cable to connect to his computer. And when I gave him the phone I didn`t gave him the usb cable. Now I`m trying to connect the phone to my laptop to install a new soft but it`s not connecting. The orange led it`s on ( showing that it`s charging ), but the HTC sync does`t find the phone to connect with him. Any ideas? I would be grateful.
