[HTC Aria General] Corporate Dog:
That seems to echo my experience, right down to the usage pattern.

I WILL say that my office is a room-within-a-larger-floor of a converted warehouse, where I get no phone reception to speak of. Most of the time, my phone stays in standby mode, and I half-wonder if it isn't continuously trying to find a signal, and draining itself in the process.

Yesterday I turned off GPS. Today, I turned off Wi-Fi (since there are no open wi-fi signals to be found). I'm hoping tomorrow, I'll maintain my charge a little better.

Regards,

Corporate Dog
[HTC Aria General] glitterbug:
go to settings > about phone > battery > battery use > cell stand by. there is a "time without a signal field" that will tell you if the battery is draining because of a poor signal.
[HTC Aria General] breakeven:
I work in an ER and I get to use my phone intermittently but here are my usage statistics.

ANDROID SYSTEM: 33% of battery used

CPU TOTAL: 23m 53s

CELL STANDBY: 32%

TIME ON: 13h 18m 42s TIME WITHOUT A SIGNAL: 3%

PHONE IDLE: 24%

TIME ON: 10h 15m 3s

DISPLAY: 11%

TIME ON: 3h 3m 40s

BATTERY % NOW: 11%

I am pretty happy with this, I used the internet or browsed these forums in between work. My iphone was worse so I can live with these numbers.
[HTC Aria General] cranked:
I am on 14h45m, 38% battery remaining (per Spare Parts). There is about two hours of web usage on wifi and 3g, 20 mins talk time, and the rest is standby (6 hours with bluetooth off and wifi off per my Locale settings).

I am really impressed with the battery life thus far.
[HTC Aria General] cranked:
some quick tips:

1) disable market notifications - Market -> Downloads -> Notifications -> 'Don't Notify Me

2) Lower the sync times for your social network apps like twitter and facebook (or make them manual)

If you still suffer, have a look at some of the great tips HERE on the Cyanogenmod forums...ignore 1 and 3.
[HTC Aria General] bwolmarans:
Got mine last night, never properly charged it.

But clearly battery life is poor.

I'm not going to type words here about is battery life as critical in mid-2010 for a smartphone user as it was last year ... I'm just stating that the battery life is poor.
[HTC Aria General] Donatron:
After a full week of having the Aria, I can give a more accurate report of battery life for my usage. I'm able to last the entire day on a single charge. The only time my phone sees a charger is when I go to bed at night (I don't have a car charger yet).

There were a couple things I did, that may have helped with my battery life. First, I let the battery run to 5% before charging my phone when I first got it, and I did that one more time. After that, I just charged every night, regardless of the battery level. Second, I took a look at all my auto-updates and unchecked all the stuff I didn't need (e.g. Stocks), and set the update intervals on the stuff I do need to more values that made the most sense to me (e.g. News is set to 4 hours, but weather is set to 1 hour).
[HTC Aria General] kura808:
Thought I'd share about my battery life experience since having my Aria for a little over a week. I think I'm a moderate user? As of today, I was at 60% with 20 hrs 13 min since unplugged. My phone was on standby for about 9 hours (my nice nap lol). My sis played abduction for about an hour or so. Played bonsai blast a bit too lol..I sent maybe about 40 texts and surfed the market place and internet for about half hour. I went on fb and looked at my stocks periodically. Oh I had a few small chit chats throughout the day.

A little side notes, I turned off wifi, turned off bluetooth, turned off the internet (I do manual updates because I'm on the 200mb plan lol), set on autobrightness. Whenever I can, I try to use wifi because 3g uses choke power. I suggest turning down the auto updates for apps because each app with updates uses 3g which uses power. I think signal strength plays a factor too (I get like 4 to 5 bars so my phone isn't constantly searching). Oh I also killed att nav and att hotspot..Hope I dont get flamed for that lol..

Oh..another thing, idk if this helps but I tried it the other day and it somewhat improved my battery life?? From android community in a thread about battery life:

"Did you properly calibrate your battery meter when you got your N1? (Two ways to do it, 1) follow the in box guide and charge the phone before using or 2) run down the battery until the phone shuts itself off, pull battery out, put it back in. Now, without turning it back on, put it on the charger and leave it on for a couple hours past the green light coming on, take off charge, finally turn back on)"
​

Overall, I am quite pleased. I think if I surfed the net more, I'd drain it a bit faster. I dont think I'm anywhere close to heavy users here =P
[HTC Aria General] saint168:
Is it better battery usage wise to use WiFi when WiFi is available like when I'm in the office? If I mainly stay in the office or home, is it better to just leave WiFi on all the time so 3G won't even try to connect?
[HTC Aria General] mcaxrb71:
I have zero complaints about battery life. Went 16 hours yesterday between charges (although I was asleep for 6 of them). I'm not a heavy internet user and don't stream a lot of music, but I did have the friend stream app updating as often as possible and in general, spent a good amount of time just playing with the phone and messing with various apps.

I'm completely satisfied so far, and I could only imagine battery life being a problem if I spent all day browsing websites or streaming pandora, which I can't do because I'm usually busy with work most of the day.
[HTC Aria General] joshuo:
From my experience, the battery life was pretty horrible the first 3 days i had the phone.

However, I have been letting the battery die completely before charging completely again, and on day 5 (after 4 discharge/charge cycles) the battery life was considerably better than my old iPhone.

-Unplugged at 07:11 (3G ON, WiFi OFF, BT OFF, GPS ON, Screen AUTO)

-25 mins of music playback while jogging.

-couple of phone calls in the morning (total talk time 30-45 mins)

-Checked emails read/reply

-Some web browsing/app downloading/youtube viewing over lunch (~40mins)

-3 more phone calls (35 mins total)

-Played Pandora in the car on the way home (45 mins)

-Checked email again

-went to bed at 12:30, battery at 16%, plugged back in.

That's just over 17 hours of typical useage (for me)\

Moral of the story: Deep cycle those cells for a few days, worked very well for me! :)

Also having the GPS toggle on doesn't change battery life, actually using the gps does affect it majorly. if you're going to use GPS for a trip longer than 20-25 mins, you might wanna get a car charger.
[HTC Aria General] discord2k:
Increase battery life in Aria!

Hey guys... I found online (here and the web) some info on the admin screen to change how your phone polls for wireless signal.

on your phone key pad enter

*#*#4636#*#*

It'll then take you to a screen with some options.

go to phone information/ then scroll down and change your preferred network type.

Mine was set at WCDMA preferred, but I changed it to WCDMA only. You can also set it to GSM and it will force edge. Substantially increasing your battery life...

Search the forums for 4636 and you'll be amazed at what you find...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykeldrip:
so with the EVO being so easy to root and now unlock nand to get full root, can there not be a similar program like that on nexus? we just drag drop and press buttons like the EVO has? if not why? what is difference in the EVO root process and the nexus?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
the difference is that HTC made our root basically available on launch, just type in the command.

For this reason no one has really been searching for an alternative way.
[Touch2 General] rvrosa:
Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to print or send to an excel file the list of calls made or received?

Another thing, is there a way to control the time of ONLY calls that you've made? If I go to the calls counting (in Portuguese "Contadores de Chamadas") I have the registry of ALL calls made and received. I can't control the time that I've spent where I've started the call (that can be very useful if you have minutes to spend), I only know the time spent on the phone.

Thanks in advance

[Touch2 General] rvrosa:
And this app will work on WM6.5? I've made a google search and the last version found was 2.0.1 and I see that this application was made in 2007 :eek:

This problem is really stupid... any 30,00€ nokia can track the time of received or made calls :mad:
[Touch2 General] cimber:
Yes it does !

I'm using this program now for some years, and it works perfectly on almost all WM versions !

I started with WM2003 and now on my Mega with WM6.5 it still works perfectly !

My present version is 2.0.1.

[Touch2 General] teriero:
The program works very well for the Mega.

But how to save the call log (Call log) on a PC?
[Touch2 General] cimber:
Export

Just transfer the *.csv file via activesync or any filemanager to your PC.

[Touch2 General] rvrosa:
It's strange... I've download it and installed it, but the program doesn’t appear anywhere!

I’ve searched on all programs but nothing…

And I’m sure it’s installed because it appears on the “uninstall programs” as HudsonMobile PhoneDashboard.

Any suggestions?
[Touch2 General] cimber:
Did you the following ?

As far as I remember, it was necessary to make a softreset on this program after installation.

Otherwise it's depending on your user interface, what you need to do.

For sure you can find the program either in the directory "programs" or a localized name e.g.

in german "Programme"

and a link in the following directory "windows/autostart".

If its not there, you need to make a link to there.

Regards

cimber
[Touch2 General] teriero:

Cause to view it you need to disable TouchFLO and turn on Phone Dashboard.(settings/today/Items)

Phone Dashboard is a plugin "naked" today screen.

Unless you use an alternative overlay interface f.ex.SPB MShell-then simply tap the "show today".

Alternative:ShellSwitcher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=675903
[Touch2 General] rvrosa:
Please elucidate me :)

First I install the Phone.Dashboard.Minute.Tracker, then when I need to use it I have to change from TouchFlo to Phone Dashboard?

But if I use the TouchFlo the program is working and registering all, right? To see it I only need to turn TouchFlo off, right? Or I can no longer use TouchFlo?

Don't exist another program to control the time used in calls that don't need all this? I think is something so simple compared to other things that WM can do...

Thanks
[Touch2 General] rvrosa:
I don't like or dislike touchLFO... I don't know or ever used something else to know if it's better or worst. I had a Nokia 1100 and I've bought this phone with touchFLO... To me is OK since it works.

Do you think there exist better than touchFLO? Give me some links that I can look ;)

About this festinger I'll give it a look to see.

Thanks
[Touch2 General] rvrosa:
Ok, I've downloades festinger (v.3.1.2) and tried it.

Good but not so good...

The registration is month by month. If I charge my phone on day 10 or 15, or more than once each month I can't get the info I need.

It should let me choose the period to show. :(

if someone can give me directions on how to setup my phone to forward calls to my google voice voicemail so there are no additional charges lol that would help.. and the simpler the better.

that dosent explain how to set it up. its already set to google voice there

Then you have to go to the google voice website and enable on your account.

After you login got to setting and activate voicemail.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgevo:
ok i thanks and is it free sorry i just seen some stuff on google about call forwarding and getting charged with sprint is that out dated info
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
I've been using it for a long time and don't recall ever being billed.

Go to the settings section on the Google Voice webpage. When you add a phone it will have a Activate Google Voicemail On This Phone link. It will give you a code to punch in and it will work.

Also, on a personally verified note, you have to punch that code in every time you change ROMs or reload your ROM. I kept forgetting to do it and Sprint and Google could often not agree on who handled my voicemail. LOL
[HD2 General] amc1274:
Hi guys, I tried searching and did not find any answers so I am hoping someone will be able to help.

A few weeks ago my HD2 (TMo US) was running great with CHT 1.7 and all other sorts of apps from XDA installed. When CHT 1.8 was released I took the leap as I loved v1.7 and thought v1.8 has got to be even better. I was right and all was perfect with the world UNTIL one dreadful day my phone froze when I was flipping through my pics with the Photo tab. No big deal I thought. Did a reset and tried it again to see if it was a fluke. To my dismay it was not and it happened whether I started the HTCAlbum app directly or used the Photo Tab. I thought it could be CHT 1.8 so decided I would wait for CHT 1.8.5 which was going to have all the bugs fixed. I did the ROM update to 2.13 and installed CHT 1.8.5 figuring a clean install would solve the issue. Sadfully that did not help. I did a hard reset again, DID NOT install CHT and Albums kept freezing after a few seconds. Sometimes I was able to get back into Sense but other times I had to reset the phone.

I figured it could not be CHT at this point but may be a SD card access issue. After another hard reset I formatted my SD card as that was where the pictures were stored. After loading the pictures back onto the card, I got the same results. I then moved the pictures from the SD card into main memory and same results. So some searching on the internet led me to a few post on HTCAlbums crashing but no luck in locating a fix. I also tried searching for a HTCAlbum cab file with no success. Just to be clear, nothing happens when accessing the SD card in any other way. I can read/write/browse in any other program as much as I want as fast as I want with the SD card or Device memory. Other pic viewers work flawlessly as well. Only when accessing pics with Albums causes the problem whether on the SD card or Device Memory so I am lead to believe something is corrupt with the HTCAlbums progam/files.

So after this novel I have two questions:

1. Do all the files on the phone get recreated with a hard reset?

2. Does anyone have an Albums cab file they can share? (Chefs please help!)

Suggestions are welcomed :(
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
If you hard reset the phone mate it will send it back to when you first got it or flashed a new rom, so will be fresh it will delete all data,contacts, pictures etc on the phone so back up, I think HTC album will be cooked in and not available separately unless you ask in a ROM thread
[HD2 General] amc1274:
That is what I thought but even after 4 different hard resets and a TMo ROM upgrade I still have this stupid issue.

I guess it's worth asking in the ROM forum or learn how to load a custom ROM.

Thnx...
[HD2 General] wolfee:
I made a post about this very thing last week...

For 3 months my phone worked great Not a single problem, other than my stupid mistakes. :rolleyes:

Then out of the blue the HTC photo album just started locking up. After countless hard resets, and reading some of the replies on my post, I thought it might be a bad pic file. I removed all the pics and it still locks up when scrolling through the pics, and sometimes when starting the camera. I'm at a total loss on this one. I hope someone can come up with something.

For now I am just living with it, because I really dont want to take the phone back and take the chance of getting a piece of crap referb that someone ells had even more problems with.
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
me too.

+1 funny thing is i didn't even know that we had an album viewer until i hit it twice on accident and it came up then proceeded to crash. i found anotheranother place that offered a cab but it wouldn't install so it was no help and now i can't find it again.
[HD2 General] amc1274:
I flashed the 2.13 ROM again last night and now the freezing happens ONLY when the Albumsearcher.exe is scanning for images. If use the file explorer to open an image the Albums program will read from the image files no problem and flips through them quite fast from both the Device and the SD card. The moment I start the Albums program or the Photo tab and tries to pull up the thumbnails, I get an error message for either Albumsearcher.exe or HTCAlbum.exe and my SD card is not visible until after a soft reset.

I can't say it is a SD card access issue as it happens only with Albums or more specifically Albumsearcher.exe? What I do not understand is why after the crash the SD is no longer visible on the device?

[HD2 General] amc1274:
you my friend

are leading me down a very dark path....lol

I started to read through the HD2 T29 thread and it seems it will solve my problem. This is what a hard reset should do in the first place. I still have some more reading before I take the plunge as I am not clear if I can use the tool without HSPL as my HD2 is all stock and would like to flash the stock 2.13 ROM. I also thought I read somewhere that if you flash a custom ROM you can't go back to stock. Does not seem right but I am heading over to the ROM FAQ threads so I don't screw anything up.

Thanks again bud for showing me the light :D
[HD2 General] jeewadj:
no worries mate , but according to my understanding if you install hspl it will avoid you r warranty

also have a custom rom downloded and the suitable radio allready insatalled

let me know if you want any more help il do my best to help you out :D
[HD2 General] amc1274:
I will have to install HSPL and with 9 months left in my warranty period I think I can like without the Albums program. If I have more issues then I may change my mind.

That being said, I will take you up on the RESCO PHOTO offer. When you have the chance can you either post or email me the files? I will PM you my email.
[HD2 General] nomad10002:
The problem is with the sd card take off all your pics and save them to your computer. The problem is with the pictures sytored on the sd card, it causes crashes of the albums program. I went through 2 new phones,before that i discovers the common problem the same sdcard was used. I got rid of the pics and that fixed the problem.

hi i have attached the manila file with will tell the devise to open up resco insted of htc album, you will have to get resco your self as i cant give it to you according to forum rules sorry :D
