[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funcrusher:
Ok, that's what I thought. The pic that kyouko posted on the last page was multiple instances under services.

And reedsw said those were the ones he was referring to.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Yep that's normal. Looks like a mix up. Time to find another cause of the battery drain, if it even exists.

Did you guys try calibration? (i.e http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#Battery_recalibration)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkshow:
I do think poor signal contributes to battery drain. I definitely noticed rapid battery drain this week while attending classes in the basement of a stone building.

I'm not convinced DD is any worse than sense roms for battery life. My wife and I have similar battery life, I'm on DD, she's on stock w/ OC kernel.

You shouldn't need to calibrated real often, but if you've ever wiped battery stats without immediately calibrating, it is worth a try.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkshow:
The OC kernel is a win for me... noticeably better battery and cooler temps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reedsw:
not cool. thought we were on to something. will get that info done tomorrow asap. lost 2% posting this.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkshow:
Yeah, I'd definitely try the wipe and clean install that decad3nce suggested. Try running without autokiller, OC apps, darktremor a2sd or other stuff that changes basic system functionality.

When you were on pure hero were you running am OC kernel? Of not, my theory is that your phone just doesn't like being OC ed and runs inefficiently.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reedsw:
Already wiped and clean installed.

I have never had any luck with OC's so I have never used them.

The autokiller brought my phone from being dead in the morning to not being dead in the morning.

I dont run dt's a2sd on darch since 2.6.5, it was just something I mentioned earlier.

To be honest guys, with it making it through the night(has only done that with autokiller), that is pretty acceptable to me but will get you the information you requested as soon as I get settled in here.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevinXtreme:
That's most likely your problem, then. Darchdroid is OC'd to 710 by default.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funcrusher:
Well, I have no clue what made the difference, but my battery life has drastically improved. It only dipped 4% overnight compared to 15-20%.

Here's a list of what I did yesterday in order and maybe someone else can make sense of it.

1. Did a nandroid backup.

2. Flashed http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6885475&postcount=13 over top of my current setup without any kind of wiping.

3. Flashed the UV kernal on top of that (I had rebooted after step 2 and tinkered a bit)

4. Decided nothing had really changed battery-wise so I restored the backup I made in step 1 (DD 2.7).

5. Powered off the phone, removed the sd card and booted up. Reinstalled the card after boot.

I've rebooted a couple times and battery still seems strong. I've never used apps2sd ever and it wasn't enabled.

Hopefully that's easy to understand, I just woke up. ;\
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenpoman:
one thing that I noticed is that every Hero is different. My first one had major battery issues from stock. ie. overheating and about 3.5 hours of life with very minimal use.

my second one got 16 hours of heavy use out of the battery with the stock 1.56 rom

so what I am getting at is that not every phone will react the same way

another factor is location and cell signal. I get about 36 hours with KangSlayer with the uv update..... when I am at home and have moderate use.( -85dBm)

I get 20 hours when I am at work with a poor cell signal ( -101dBm ) and light use.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Guy71:
Eh...That's why I carry two batteries. And make sure I always have a charger in my car in case I need it :rolleyes: This is with pretty decent usage.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reedsw:
All yesterday I was "calibrating" the battery. I got 16h's (7ish while I slept) of battery use. Not sure I can really request much more than that. The phone is currently recharging to the green light then about 45 minutes past that sitting next to me while it is charged off (phone went dead officially at 7:38am after being unplugged from the charger around 3pm if memory serves me correctly). Not sure the difference and can only attribute a change in the autokiller install (probably just placebo) but my phone was not dead when I woke up this morning so its something I can definitely handle.

Please, understand I keep a charger with me everywhere I go, truck, house, work, I have a laptop near me that I call my phone charger and people think I am crazy. With this new and again, dont know why, battery use I am quite happy.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
I installed AutoKiller and immediately noticed a huge drop in life - massive....horrid...insane drop. Also after I installed it every hour or so ADW would get real slow and then it would FC.

I removed Autkiller and all seems better now.

Edit:

Going on 13 hours since all the above. At 25%.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
So, I've just tested my phone being off charger since 6:30 AM this morning and I'm currently at 79% (it's now 12 PM central) I did flash the UV kernel this AM too, at about 9:00 AM in hopes that it will help the situation out a bit. Seems to thus far... but still, when I use the spare parts option in Darchdroid 2.7 and check out partial wake... my 'Android System' is about 1/3 full (says it's been using battery for about 1.5 hours now). Is this normal (cannot remember from other roms as the battery wasn't a concern for me then)? What could be the culprit if this is an abnormal response??? Anyone anyone? Beuler? Thanks guys!

Not that I'm dissing this rom, because by far, it's the best one out there for the Hero IMHO, but just wish I could get to the bottom of this battery issue. But, if it lasts through my work-day, for the most, then I'll just live with it ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usfslacker86:
Most of the people I've seen with battery issues don't seem to report this problem but, on my battery usage breakdown it has cell standby at ~50% (as it should be) and cell idle (a value that was around half of that while I was running Fresh) is now sitting in the mid to high 40s. My battery life only lasts around 16 hours with literally no use whatsoever. Been trying to update PRL to see if that would help (my signal strength is always around 70-80 where I am so I don't anticipate this working).

Going to try to reflash to see if it helps, but what usually makes cell idle use so much battery?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daPorkchop:
Just curious if you erased battery stats and recalibrated your battery?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usfslacker86:
I have erased the battery stats, but I wasn't 100% sure when to do it or if there was anything else that went into recalibrating it. I've tried searching this issue on xda, but everyone posts a wikipedia link that goes to a subject that doesn't even have the word battery in it, haha.

Now I'm trying to get wireless tether to come back to me. I just get "Unable to start tether, try again"
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldjackbob:
+1

I went to the link and did a search for the string "cal" and came up with nothing.

So what does everyone in this thread mean by "calibrate" or "recalibrate"? What is there to calibrate, and specifically how is it done?

Can anyone please provide any particulars on that?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usfslacker:
Recalibration

OK, I recalibrated the whole thing and I've got BETTER battery life but still not good. I still have the same problem where leaving the phone on and asleep all night has my battery report telling me that 51% of the battery usage went to antenna and 49% went to system idle, with the battery being used over that period of absolutely no use whatsoever being over 20%. I have flashed and reflashed this ROM several times, as it is by far my favorite.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daPorkchop:
I THINK I may have found what is using up my battery. I'd you go into spare parts and look at network usage since last unplugged, you (or at least I did) will are that 0 is using tons of resources. I disabled Bluetooth share and that 0 has gone way down. So Im hoping that'sgonna fix most of it. I have to calebrate my battery cause apparently I haven't done it right yet. Then I will let you guys know how it pans out.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daPorkchop:
So I celebrated my battery last night and its been off the charger for about 3 hrs an its been on moderate usage and It's at 83 percent. Before it seemed to use most my battery when my screen was off. And now it seems to have fixed that. So as of right now I think the Bluetooth share was the problem. I'll keep my eye on it and keep updating.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daPorkchop:
6 1/2 hrs 60% left. It's a lot better than it was.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zardos66:
How did you disable bluetooth share? I can't get it to stop.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daPorkchop:
I use autostarts (a startup manager) and make it stop after boot

I have nosey friends, and private emails. I love Manila's email tab's aesthetic and function, so i would prefer to keep it enabled, and displaying a couple of my other not-so-private email accounts. Is it possible to hide/exclude outlook from being displayed in this tab? If not, does anyone know of a regedit or manila file which can be edited to at least remove the little account chooser icon on the upper right hand side of the email tab? :confused:

Any help be would be greatly appreciated.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rsacipher:
I couldn't get it it work either. I'll have to research the error code later.
[Touch2 General] irakshit:
I am new to htc world. I bought a Touch2 6 months back in Netherlands and it was on Telfort (a local network provider) on Dutch language. Then I moved to Canada and changed the ROM with the help of hardspl to English. But I can not use my new Bell Canada SIM card in this phone. It does not catch any signal. But when I checked through settings - connections - connection setup, then I see under country Canada there are a list of service provider's name listed but no Bell there. I guess this does not mean SIM lock or so. How can I add Bell in that list and make my bell sim work in my touch2 ?

Thanks in advance for any kind of clue !
[Touch2 General] cmstlist:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch2-2924.php

It won't work at all no matter what you try... the phone doesn't have UMTS 850/1900, and Bell doesn't have GSM. Sorry!

It'll work on Rogers & Fido in 2G/EDGE mode, that's all you'll get in Canada.
[Touch2 General] seclub:
what the mate means is that bell uses CDMA and the Touch2 is a GSM mobile phone so you can't use it with bell.
[Touch2 General] cmstlist:
No, that isn't what I mean. Bell's HSPA network, launched about 8 months ago (the one which uses SIM cards) is UMTS-only. The Touch2 does not support Bell's UMTS frequencies. Therefore it sees nothing when a Bell SIM is inserted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehBrY:
I'm slightly confused! On the other thread its mentioned that the later released AT&T version N1 is fully compatible with HSPA+. Does that mean only on ATT's 1900 band or does it mean that ATT version is also fully compatible with AWS1700 HSPA+ ON t-mobile as well. I need to know so I can trade in my older non hspa+ tmo n1 for the ATT one if that's the case so let me know now simply.. thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
you are confuse, both versions of the nexus one support HSDPA 7.2Mbps. that's it. HSPA+ is 21Mbps i believe. so no version of the nexus out there supports that. in fact no phone out currently supports that. the nexus is about the fastest out on the market. both the tmobile and ATT version are both 7.2mbps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehBrY:
Ok thanks for clearing that up for me!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
you guys don't have the bold 9700 down there yet? it does have HSPA+ but its limited by the fact that its a blackberry.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
oh maybe we do have that blackberry. even still, if it DOES have HSPA+ i believe its only one of a very few phones on the market that support it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killac93:
Alrights guys, don't know if anyone has posted a tut for this yet but I finally got this EVO up and going with web. I don't know who the original poster of this was but it sure rocks!!

Congratulations buddy!

Thanks a hell of a lot for giving us this how to guide. I really appreciate it :)

Just had 3 questions:

1) Are you getting 3g data in Atlanta or is it just Edge?

2) What plan did you sign up for at MetroPCS?

3) If you decide you don't like MetroPCS, how do you reverse this process back to Sprint service?

Thanks again for figuring this out :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
that probably depends on the tower coverage for the specific geographical location ...

i see the directions mention HTC Hero a few times. has anybody confirmed this works on the EVO?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hack-a-lak:
Lol, I just spent all night trying to figure this out and you have made it very easy. Thanks. The Diag Drivers link doesn't work but I am sure we could find it somewhere else.

I do have one question. Do you still need to have a Metro PCS dealer add the ESN to their network?
[EVO 4G Android Development] killac93:
Yes the ESN needs to be added to Metro's inventory. I had them add it and wallaahhh!

[EVO 4G Android Development] ap3604:
I see... so for $50/mo (contract free) I can get the the same things that Sprint is offering me for $80/mo. When you minus the extra cost to buy the phone full retail $449 vs $199 on contract you actually saving about $570 over a two year period...

Hard choice ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SYNTHAXXX:
3G unstable

I have tried many configurations and no matter what I do, it seems that the "mobile network" connection is not stable. It will go out periodically and say "connection failed" or "turning on". Can you verify that you are not having this issue?

Also, this obviously does not bypass the WAP proxy which is used by Cricket. This means that other protocols, such as those used in navigation software and YouTube, are going to be blocked by the proxy server. Does anyone know a way around this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] efuse:
google around for the droid eris cricket tutorial. that has the proper method to set it up, and it works on all other cdma htc android phones.

i believe it is posted on howardfourms under the cricket section.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlogix:
I myself was wondering if it was the same because I flashed my evo to cricket the same way just off of flashing know how....going to try and see if the Eris method matches what needs to be done to the evo and will report back

[EVO 4G Android Development] rhcp011235:
Great post. But, you are missing a few major things.

A) You need to flash the PRL file for metro or boostmobile. (You need this or no service)

B) You need to get them to add the ESN of our evo. to their network. How do you do so? They wont do it. So now what?

C) You did not mention most need to be DUAL-BAND phones. Or they do not work on metro.

But all in all great post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rhcp011235:
Wont work in NY. Because the phones are DUAL-BAND.

NJ you are ok. But, you are back in the 1999 year. where you cannot travel. You can bring your phone into metro and do the metroflash its $10 dollars.
