"To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well."

Will I have to to this all the time? if no, how many hours should I recharge my phone per day?
[EVO 4G General] i1magic:
Wow .... lasted 46hrs and still have 10% left!!

This is fantastic.
[EVO 4G General] Tregrad:
Did this this morning, and was driving around, made about 6 calls and my 3g was on the whole time. Totally forgot that I had done this little trick and when I saw my battery widget it said 95% !!!! Something seemes to have worked here.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] 8element:
Quick question, should(is it better to?) I recharge my battery with the phone ON or OFF?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Yeah guys, this is a ONCE a month thing just so you all know. Anymore then that won't help.
[EVO 4G General] godgib:
My two cents.... I went ahead and timed this from orange to green and the more I keep doing it the closer the times got. First time it took about 3min to go from orange to green, about the 10 time it took only 1min to go from organge -> green. So i can kind of see the logic here as to overcharging or just getting the cells to full. I went ahead and kept trying this but it always took about a 1min to go from orange to green.
[EVO 4G General] timmy toad:
Hi i have a new htc desire (leedroid rom), the battery doesnt last very long at all, i have just purchased a new battery, but i want to get the charging cycle correct before i start using it, i saw the post above, where the author knows the exact voltage of his battery, please can i ask, where did this app/widget come from please, i would like it.

Download BatteryTime by Molaten - I believe that's what shows me my battery information on my EVO (temp/voltage). Have the option to show the battery life percentage in your notification bar - when you drag the bar down it'll show you the voltage and temperature of the battery.
[EVO 4G General] timmy toad:
Thanks buddy, i got that from the market ok, but it doesnt show the voltage on my Desire :(

I have found an alternative now, its called battery booster from obi.downloadandroid.info this one does show my voltage, cheers. :)

[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
As per post #1, this works really nicely on one of my OEM batteries so far.

Thank you.

I will balance my other 3 batteries also.

I am at 100% for 15 minutes now, whereas before, the level would drop from 100% to 95% in a couple of minutes, or even less while the Evo was on.

That was the battery that seemed to last the least of the 4 I have.

Great Tip ;)
[EVO 4G General] jmattix:
Just tried it tonight. Then turned my Evo on and played three turns on Words with Friends and it's down to 94% after 5 minutes.

[EVO 4G General] HvNd4Speed:
I think the battery situation is a lose lose on this phone...lost cause.....

anyway...new member here...first post...tried to root my evo yesterday and it failed...trying to do some research and I guess I don't have enough posts yet to discuss in the development forum...

anyway....ive tried all these techniques of calibrating the battery...nothing works...i bought one of those 2000mah batteries from Ebay...it gets about 10-20% more life...i wouldn't recommend that either and the big battery isn't an option for me...
[EVO 4G General] tb87:
Yep the battery is single cell. The 3.7 volts tells us this, no need to balance the cell.
[EVO 4G General] darksulfur5:
Thanks!! This seems to work on my myTouch 4G. Before it was chewing up battery like crazy, now im getting stupendous results. Not sure if this trick really works or if its just a placebo effect, but as long as I get more battery life, I dont care either way.
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
Even those of us who have rooted our phones are still searching for great battery life. To be honest, I'm learning to toggle my data on/off as needed (plus turn off gps, wi-fi when not needed) but otherwise to just have fun.
[EVO 4G General] r916:
37 mins later and still at 100% with using text messages (about 40 sent/recieved), gps on, wifi off.

Hold the fort here.....

So, suddenly, I'm getting that fast battery leve ldrop off a fresh charge, and I think, OK, I'll give THIS a try.

Odd, I've unlplugged my phone and plugged it right back in, and the green light just goes back on, but I'm in the middle of this now, and on my 4th round, and everythime I plug back in, I get the orange light for about a minute. I'll update when I get to 10 and see what it's doing....

UPDATE!!!

It did hold at 100% for about 40 minutes, yay!, while I played Klondike on the bus to work and texted my GF a few times, then it dropped quickly to 96%, which makes me wonder, what would happen if instead of 10 times, you did it until the light just stayed green when you plug it in?
[EVO 4G General] tailsthecat3:

[EVO 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
Tried this on my Epic, then before even checking to see about the voltage or charge percent, I cleared the battery stats in recovery... Hoping this will make my dreams of battery life come true since I've heard some people can get like 18-25 hours of battery life using SyndicateRomFrozen and Twilight kernel on this phone...

I'll update when I know some more, but thanks for the trick.

UPDATE: (9 hours later)

So I woke up this morning after doing the trick last night and after 6 hours of "idle/sleeping" while not plugged in, my battery was at 68%! It's never even been that low after heavy usage for 6 hours! Not too happy. Not blaming anyone though. Not every phone is the same and I know this trick was meant for the Evo, but I had seen Epic comments so I thought I'd try it.

I think I'm going to just buy the extended battery like my roommate did for her Evo.
[EVO 4G General] melipone:
I did this yesterday and it worked like a charm. However, I plugged my phone in last night to charge overnight like I always do and the battery dropped sharply to 97% upon unplugging. It seems that this method is not a long term solution as it only works right after you perform the steps. Anyone else come up with a long term solution?

Currently running:

Calkulin's EViO 2 v1.8(1.7.7 PRI and NV)

Ziggy's latest BFS kernel(I am going to try the CFS)

Gingerbread for EViO 2 by datajosh

UPDATE:

After installing Ziggy's latest CFS HAVS kernel(build #031811) my phone has insanely long battery life. I didn't do the trick again and just charged via USB(to around 99%) while I flashed the new kernel.

20h30m uptime

3h10m awake time

55% battery

This trick definitely works!
[EVO 4G General] cache83:

I am developing an app to open text files in windows mobile.

sample of the code I am using

fs = System.IO.File.OpenText(Fname)

While (Not fs.EndOfStream) And (Not StopRead)

System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()

fs.ReadLine()

RecordsInFile = RecordsInFile + 1

End While

fs.Close()

This code is used to count the records in the file.

I get error when trying to open files having non english ( for eg:

ü

) characters.

So I converted the file to UTF encoding.

The file opens properly.

But the non english characters are not dispalayed properly.

The problem is on windows mobile only.

But all these files open properly and characters displayed correctly on Windows desktop.

Is there any other method to open the files Properly?

Anyone help plz

LCARS boot animation replacement for SPRINT HTC EVO 4G ONLY

NEW METHOD USING SIGNED ZIP THANKS TO nebenezer

Download signed zip to sd and flash with recovery

Signed zip is in download section below.

NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE GALAXY TAB AS WELL, THANKS TO nobleskill

Link to Galaxy Tab thread here

OLD METHOD:

To install...

extract the zip file

reboot into recovery using rom manager

In the partitions menu select mount /system (or if using other recovery then manually mount /system through adb)

adb push [path to extracted bootanimation.zip] /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
adb push [path to extracted SPC_animation_final.mp3] /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
adb reboot

I use this on my own phone and love it.... I am happy to answer questions about installation if they come up, but feel the need to post the usual disclaimer of.... while there is no reason this should do anything negative to your phone as long as you follow the directions, should you brick your phone or cause your phone to act goofy, or drop your phone in the toilet, neither the lcars custom boot animation or myself are in any way shape or form responcible for it. If you don't like that then don't download it.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeffrimerman:
These are probably noob questions.

Does this need root? Do I unzip to the root of the memory card? I'm going to guess a rom manager does need root. Is the code only for adb and not if you have rom manager?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jramz:
Yes you need root because you have to write to the /system partition.

It is easiest to do with ROM Manager's recovery which is why i gave instructions for that.

You extract the zip to your computer and use adb to push to the phone in the correct location.

adb reboot

Nothing.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jramz:
Dariuas,

Sounds like the system partition is not mounted...

this is covered in the ROM Manager Menu which it sounds like you're not using so if you add

adb shell mount /system

once in recovery but before the file pushes you should be fine

btw, gthing....if you like the current sound and just want to quiet it down, go into the xml file that is in the bootanimation.zip and change the volume number from 0=silent to w/e you like, the higher the number,the louder the volume. and yes you can use a audio editor like roxio to find a clip or song in mp3 form, cut it, rename it to the exact same as the other one, then just replace it. Works every time for me. Good Luck:D

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] acrh2:
I like your work. But there's a problem, for me. I know you've made some awesome themed roms, but I myself am not very experienced with android roms - evo is my first android phone. So, I'm very cautious about installing other people's roms. On the other hand, themes, especially small ones, are easy to understand, install, remove, handle in general.

I suspect, a lot of people would feel that way, but anyway...

Is it possible to make a flashable zip with just the notification bar, notification icons, and rosie in red, like in your The 3nd is near Finisher rom? And make it based on the most recent OTA apks?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jramz:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mhaner:
Works great, I love it. Thanks man.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
No problem :)

Signing zips is very easy. I don't know of any guides on it specifically, someone showed me how to do it, but I'm sure you could find one pretty easily.

How to turn a .zip into a signed.zip :D :

Download AvaboxV2 (thanks avalaunchmods :D) and extract it to c:\avabox\

fyi, Your unsigned zip will be called update.zip until you sign it.

Unzip and poke around in a couple simple mods that are signed zips.

After you unzip a signed zip delete the 3 certificate files in the META folder, now if you zip it back up without the cert files you have an unsigned zip and this is how your mods will be structured just before you sign them.

You will typically see only 2 folders, a system or data folder and a META-INF folder.

The files that make up the mod will be in the same file structure it would be in on the phone.

Example: a skinned calculator would be in update.zip\system\app\calculator.apk

The META-INF will contain 3 certificate files that "sign" the zip folder and an update script WAYYY down in the bottom of a single line of folders (probably didnt explain that well, you'll see)

If you use an update script from an existing signed.zip BE SURE TO DELETE the 3 cert files in META-INF. You can open the update script in notepad++ to see how it works.

So zip the 2 files, your mod in its structure and the meta folder, name your zip update.zip.

Put update.zip into c:\avabox\auto-sign\

Click sign.bat, a cmd window will pop up, press the space bar when its finished and you will see your new update_signed.zip in the auto-sign folder :) renam it and you should know what to do from here :)

Be sure to look in some other signed.zips to see the structure for yourself

If these instructions aren't clear or if anyone has questions please ask.
