[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I know I might get flamed for this....

Apple suggests, with their laptops, to once a month or so, run the battery completely down. Then let the battery cool down for a little bit. Then give it a full, uninterrupted, overnight charge. I forget if they said to repeat this a second time, then you're good.

This is all from memory of me reading this a couple years ago or so, so our might not be verbatim. Their laptops use lithium ion technology...

(and they used to blow up and melt down too!) Lol!

Wrong word choice and misspelling courtesy of swype.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
That's because the phone stops charging when it reaches 100%, and runs off of battery probably until it reaches in the low 90s, then charges again. You won't ever notice this because the light will always be green. However, you'll notice that unplugging it a few moments after it turns green, the battery will stay anywhere from 100%-98% for a while. At least on my phone it does.

Is there any way to make this program "auto run" during sleep so it can do everything it needs to do during the night charge (similar to quickpull for blackberry)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulieb81:
I am by no means an expert so if you find any reliable info on this and can link us to read, I would love to learn more. All I know is that it is commonly said to drain rechargeable batteries and that I have seen that topping them off very often does lead to battery life degradation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
There is no need to fully drain the battery. Its purpose in calibration is to configure the software that is correlating voltage to percentage charged. That's all. Regarding the old Apple advice, that is doing the same thing. It will not affect the hardware.

Now, what WILL affect the hardware is charging itself. Every charge/discharge cycle will reduce the total capacity of the battery. This is why the EVO will not cycle on it's own until 10% discharged. It's improving the overall battery life by that restriction.

In short, you will save money overall by getting a higher capacity battery that you don't force to charge too often. Draining your battery does nothing but give you peace of mind and it only really needs recalibrating when it's total capacity has been reduced which isn't often. 3-6 months.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigglywiggly:
Yeah except that's not a good idea, it will kill the weak cells.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyzing:
I understand. Still think it would be useful if it would do the "juice until LED changes" method while sleeping though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdogdan2:
I'm interested!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdogdan2:
Btw - what are the charging calibrations people are using? Are you seeing one working better than another?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyzing:
Im a noob, so take what I say worth a grain of salt but yesterday I did the standard method where you fully charge...turn off...plug back in until led changes green and do it a few times.

I went from 9 hours to 17 hours with no other changes except a few profiles in setCPU.

I did this just last night so my results are fresh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaelek:
A few SetCPU profiles is all it takes to see a dramatic increase in battery life, especially while screen off. If you disable it I bet whatever gain you think was from 'calibrating' it disappears.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaelek:
perhaps all EVOs are not created the same? Whenever I have mine plugged in once it hits full charge, it does not drop until unplugged. I almost always am plugged into USB. For those that it drops on are you plugged into USB or AC?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulieb81:
I have been wondering does it charge differently if plugged into USB vs AC? Does anyone know for sure, that is without guessing.

Sorry I don't mean to be rude, I just hate nothing more then an entire forum thread of people arguing over things when they truly don't know forr sure and just say what they think rather than know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemesys504:
I agree.

I agree with this info. I've done some digging around and draining the battery completely is very bad. It does more damaged than good. I'll post some links on tips on calibrating the battery and tips on keeping your battery healthy. Hope this helps.

Is the battery calibration your doing a 1 time thing or do you need to do it every day? I'm looking for 1 time calibration method. The calibration methods I've seen says you need to do it daily >_<
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skitzi:
Something to keep in mind for this discussion/testing is the horrible battery life for a day or two after flashing a new rom. With a lot of us in the community flashing a new rom every day at the moment some of the fast battery drops being seen could be the rom flashing. After a day or two things normalize and battery life generally gets better.

Hey guys,

Anyone know how to configure port forwarding for torrents when using tethering? I'm on froyo if that matters. I get a nice 200-300kB/sec down and 100/kB up for regular data transmission, but my utorrent is crap.

And no, I will not be abusing my tethering. I just want to have a good working setup.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Check your router settings
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denimjunkie82:
umm...really? I'm tethering...that means no router. I'd be on 3G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
You can tether to a router/local network... you never specified. You can't forward ports from the phone, it's not connecting to a physical modem you have access to.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
I very much doubt your network operator allows the port range required for torrents on the apn you're connecting to... you could try a port check to find out (but they probably drop that traffic too).

Can you set up an SSL torrent on port 80 to test?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] demonknight9:
I have looked on these and other forums for a working cab of the htc youtube from the touch hd or the blackstone that works on the TG01 but haven't manage to find a working one. I installed the latest certs and htc framework but still cannot play video. It a shame as the quality of the videos is really good. I remember when I had my blackstone the quality on the wvga screen was fab on the tg01 is got to be smoother and better hey?

If someone has ported this can you be so kind to point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance guys
[TG01 Themes and Apps] demonknight9:
143 views and nobody can point me to a working version?

Please guys, google youtube is crap. Interface and quality are dreadful.

I have tried the touch hd it version but it doesnt even install. What are the things that I need?

Thanks all in advance
[TG01 Themes and Apps] elder T:
In CorePlayer theres YouTube supports, just change the setting to hight quality and you are set to go.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] demonknight9:
Hi, thanks for the reply. I know that, the version that I have of core player is the original one that comes with the rom. I have upgraded to the newer version but felt it was too slow and benchmarked a lot less that the original one. Unfortunatly the original version does not have the youtube feature working. I still think that the videos look a lot better and the UI is much nicer with the HTC version. I have tried the TP2 version but it doesn't work either. Do I need anything else installed apart from the HTC framework and the certs do you think? It all installs fine and shows the videos but when I try to play them it says that the videos cannot be played error. Again, thanks for replying.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Pere:
I use youtubeplay

http://tinyurl.com/youtubeplay

Unfortunately it seems that Youtube has just banned it because it appears a Error messaje: Failed to play: -3 :mad:

[TG01 Themes and Apps] demonknight9:
Thanks, you're right. It looks like it's been banned. Don't work for me.

Thanks all the same
[TG01 Themes and Apps] mirolg:
trying this is works fine on my TG01
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Tozzy2:
I don't know what to say but omg. How did you get this :) ?!! I've been looking everywhere for a youtube app after trying MVU Mobile Browser and youtubeplayer. I looked on youtube and kept saying your device isn't supported (TG01). Google didn't return any results for any youtube native apps for windows mobile.

I've installed it and honestly didn't expect it to work, but it does! The only problem is though is that since youtube have updated their mobile website, the quality is much better than what is streamed on the native apps, such as the one I've just downloaded from your post. There doesn't appear to be a HQ button on the app so I guess it's streaming from 3GP.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for posting this. Hopefully, it will be a long while yet before Windows Mobile is actually abandoned, even though various sources state that development has come to an end for the platform.

BTW, Youtubeplayer doesn't work for me either, hence why I started to use MVU Mobile Browser as my youtube FLV downloader - playback still doesn't seem to work in coreplayer :(
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Pere:
Officially confirmed from COREPLAYER that Google has changed anything on Youtube and after that, COREPLAYER can't play Youtube videos. They say that next Coreplayer release will fix it (paying?? :mad:)

http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2746&p=11146&hilit=youtube+fails#p11146

I've downloaded the last official Youtube app for WM

Only avilable from the phone: http://m.youtube.com/app , and I also think that quality image has been improved, but not for all the videos (I can't understand why...). Besides, looks great on our big screen!!

So, I've just deleted youtubeplay from my device and perhaps Coreplayer will be the next, as I prefer TCPMP

(On the other hand if you have your own videos on Youtube, you can watch them easily with the new app. Not possible with Youtubeplay)
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
repliesrseem to be a bit of topic. use a htc branded rom, you can find many on this forum, then you have youtube htc player. still i strongly recommend using coreplayer. btw i have the latest version so youtube works fine. :)
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Pere:
I have COREPLAYER 1.3.6 build 7427 and Youtube doesn't work. Which one do you have? TNKS
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Tozzy2:
Pere: I like your avatar :)

Can you please confirm which version you have. I'm thinking of buying coreplayer latest version but problem is I don't know which one to get because there is smartphone and pocketpc but smartphone says nontouchscreen! Which one did you choose?

Thanks, and does youtube work on the lastest version? Cheers :)

P.S. I can't believe we have to pay to upgrade coreplayer!! Even though it comes free with the phone. I have a good mind not to bother to be honest because I'd rather support the developers here than let coreplayer have my money. Problem is though, it seems google keep changing the way video is streamed on their servers all the time, causing playback issues with our software.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
oh no! i have the same version. my youtube no longer works! why? it was working before. perhaps a new version and developer cannot afford to lisence the old version. however i am on holiday atm maybe the servers could be a problem? personally i think its selfish if you have to upgrade for a new version to get youtube!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Pere:
Nice my office-in-the-pocket isn't it? ;)

Read my link to COREPLAYER forum....

I'm afraid that all that has been a Google strategy because it coincide in time with the launching of the new Youtube mobile....

Im runin 9.7 shack backed with

the 3.7.3c netarchy kerner

When i reboot the phone and check the gears app it shows me 50fps

After few hours or a day when i re run the gears app it shows me 30 fps

What could it be possible causing this issue?
[EVO 4G General] CollegeFresh:
That happened to me yesterday, I flashed netarchy the day before and yesterday for some reason it only showed 30 fps in fps2d and in gears. I just reflashed the kernel and it was at 52-53 again, so I suggest you just reflash the kernel. It has been working fine since.
[EVO 4G General] frifox:
been enjoying v3.7.3c's 50+ fps for days and for some reason today it decided to drop to 30fps. soft reset got me back to 50+. still trying to figure out what was the cause...

Process

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Process or processing typically describes the act of taking something through an established and usually routine set of procedures to convert it from one form to another, as a manufacturing or administrative procedure, such as processing milk into cheese, or processing paperwork to grant a mortgage loan, or converting computer data from one form to another.

Ok first off I'm the biggest noob at all things root as could be. I have managed to make some custom clocks for my old LG voyager way back in the day and have even jailbroke some Ipod touch's so I was able to load bootleg games and apps.

But this root thing has got my brain traped in a vortex and I really want to not just know how to root my droid (That info is everywhere) but I want to know how it all works. What terms like kernel mean and how they relate to clock speed. What is the difference between all the custom rom's? What happens when I root my phone and can't figure out what rom I should use? Do I have to reset all my apps and preferences every time i want to try a new rom?

I understand the how-to's I'm sure when I try to root my phone that I will not have much trouble doing so. But there are so many things I want to learn and know before I do anything.

I would like to say I'm not looking for links to tech reports on rom's that I will not understand I'm looking for alink (or someone who knows the things I wish to learn,) something that will explain the terms what they mean, how they relate to my phone and what outcome I should expect from loading custom rom's.

I understand that most users of this forum fall into one of two category's ONE ether super wonder techs that know exactly what they are doing and know how things work, TWO people who can read follow directions and root there phones while trying NOT to sound like noob's when they ask for help.

And then there's me I'm a number two, now I know that kinda makes me sound like **** but I really want to be a number ONE :D

So who want's to teach me ? Who's got some time to kill or link's to post? I'm even willing to go buy a android programmers book if there's one that would be recommended reading to help me understand the OS better.

I want to learn from the masters and this is where they all live. So will someone apprentice me ?

To close my rant out I would like to say I'm a 37 year old man with a masters in chemistry 119 IQ and ex-stream case of OCD that drive's my compulsive need to learn how things work, So I make for a good student :)

Thanx

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pete_kowalski83:
There are plenty of applications on the market where you can backup apps and data once you root, I personally use titanium, but I never restore system data if I'm flashing roms, only apps n data that comes with apps. Youre gonna have to search around other forums and whatnot to find the right roms.
[Vibrant General] techspy:
Confirmed! I got a code from unlockadic on EBay and now have my Vibrant on ATT! FU TMobile!
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
Could you not have just bought a captivate?
[Vibrant General] techspy:
Sure, but wanted a Vibrant and got one used much cheaper. Plus, I don't have a contract and don't want to have one.
[Vibrant General] srqt:
Yeah I am confused, what is the benefit of having a vibrant on AT&T as opposed to just getting a captivate? Aren't you basically running the same phone but without 3G?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
We're all happy for you, not sure why though.
[Vibrant General] techspy:
Plus, I need to use it out of the country and att wouldn't unlock the Captivate for 10 months, even if bought at full price. What do you mean no 3g? I am using 3g on it no prob.

Being that there have been several people wanting to unlock it without success, I figured I would let everyone know that this source is confirmed to work. If you aren't concerned, why bother posting that you don't care?
[Vibrant General] srqt:
Really? That is interesting I have always been told that the tmo and AT&T 3G networks weren't compatible, and my unlocked mytouch has no 3G access.

Edit; It isn't that I didn't care I was just confused at the benefit of doing it considering the availability of nearly the same device on the network you are using it on.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
maybe you should give Simple Mobile a try since it's unlocked. $60 a month for unlimited everything, no contract. An additional $10 gets you international calling. Sorta like Boost Mobile, except you supply your own unlocked GSM phone. There's a one time $12.99 fee to get their SIM.

I went this route with my daughter as I was able to get her a cheap used slider phone for practically nothing.

And the reason why this worked for him is the Vibrant supports the UMTS1900 band that AT&T uses. One of the rare T-Mobile phones that does.
[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
I am confused how you are using 3G? ATT uses 850mhz band for their 3G and the Vibrant only is able to use 3G on either 1700mhz or 2100mhz. Am I missing something here?
[Vibrant General] techspy:
Yep, 3g is working. The places I will be spending time in out of the USA don't have many options for service. Basically I buy prepaid sims and don't use data.

I have been with ATT so long that I still have the $15/mo unlimted data. Which is low enough to warrant leaving the account on while I am out of the country.

So to recap, ATT would not let me unlock the Captivate for 10 months even if I bought it outright. (I spent a long time talking to them to find this out as I was about to purchase a Captivate)

I do not want to get into a new contract

I need to use it out of the country.

I got a Vibrant used at a good deal.

That Simple Mobile looks like a good deal! If I didn't have the $15/mo unlimited data now, I would give them a shot.
[Vibrant General] techspy:
I don't know but it is working. I have crappy service at my house (for all carriers) and it goes back and forth between "3G" and "E". When I have a descent signal, it sure seems pretty snappy so I believe it is 3G. I will try a speed test when I am in a good signal location. Aren't the Captivate and Vibrant the same hardware wise? Wouldn't it make sense that it would work with ATT 3G if that is the case?
[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
They area similar hardware but the radios are carrier specific. I am pretty sure it won't work on 3G on ATT for the same reason the iPhone doesn't work on T-Mo's 3G. You must be seeing some sort of glitch on your phone. Definitely try a speed test while you are on 3G and let us know!
[Vibrant General] techspy:
I had to take a drive to test. Solid 5 bars, 3G indicator and tested on DSL reports and mobilespeedtest.com, both gave same numbers 1127kbps.

[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I am confused about the Vibrant's 3G capabilities on ATT network as well...

When I had my Nokia N95 unlocked it didn't work on TMO's 3G but did on ATT's network. The same deal with iPhones, they won't work on TMO's 3G and limited to EDGE.

Well, I will have TMO unlock my Vibrant and pop my blackberry's ATT card in to see what's the deal.

[Vibrant General] techspy:
I guess you meant to say "shouldn't"...

Anyway, I could care less if anyone does or does not belive it is. I guess I could video it doing a test...maybe I will...then again, why should I waste the time?

Been quite a while since I did much on xda. Didn't really need to since I have had my Fuze for a long time and found all the stuff I needed for it just by reading what others have done. So I get the chance to give something back with info that hasn't been posted before and all I get is "so what?" and "I don't believe you".

Goes to prove the old saying "No good deed goes unpunished"

For those of you intersted, I hope this thread helps. Otherwise, I will probably just keep everything else to myself from now on.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Lol the captivate and vibrant could have the same radios; however, they only advertise them as capable with throw att and tmobile bands. That way customers won't buy them out of.contract to use with different carriers. Samsung probably saves money by utilizing the same inner hardware for both.
