I used AXMLPrinter2 to turn zzz_battery_alerting_popup.xml into a human-readable format to check it out and see what it was all about. After looking into it more I decided to remove the xml from the framework-res.apk all together because it appeared the system was not dependent on it. And then made a flashable zip with the new framework-res.apk.

*oops sorry, I posted this in the wrong spot but it applies to this thread too lol.
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
If you would have fully read the link, you would understand why it is necessary. And also, if you had not handpicked sentences and taken them out of context from the article, I would have not bothered to reply.

Yes the link does say "The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible."

However the link also says "Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges."

Try reading *and comprehending* next time. Also consider who the article is targeting. It is basically saying that deliberate cycling of the battery per recommendation of a Ni-Cad battery (to lessen memory) is no longer required. Frequent in the Ni-Cad world is "every time." Yes, frequent full discharges in this sense will severely shorten Li-Ion battery life. Once a month... Not so much.

Frequent = Once or twice a week

Battery Calibration = Once a month or every other month.

Like I said, it is a trade off between battery life and battery meter accuracy.

However, at once a month, I have found that my phone grew obsolete before the battery lost an appreciable amount of life. Hence my recommendation for a once a month or once every other month battery calibration cycle.
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
One other thing to consider is what actually kills the battery. It is not the charging/discharging that kills the battery directly, instead it is the heat that charging/discharging causes that kills the battery. You will gain *much* more battery longevity by keeping the battery cool vs a once a month discharge/charge cycle.

Heat causes the Li-Ion in the battery to crystallize. More crystallization = less battery life.

Also, you can gain better battery longevity by charging via USB (500ma) versus the charger (750ma)

The faster you charge or discharge your battery, the shorter your phone's battery life will be. (Because faster charges/discharges create more heat.)

So, to call out a once a month discharge cycle as a "battery killer" is basically ignoring the other *way* more torturous ways to kill your battery. (Fast charging, overheating your battery, intense use)

"Battery Full" alert when phone OFF and system volume DOWN?

[Apologies -- I posted this earlier in that "fix" thread linked above, but hadn't realized that was in the Dev section -- and I figure those folks have other concerns, so I'm moving the post here. Hope someone can help me solve this mystery!]

Just to be clear -- is this alert that everyone's talking about something that happens even when the phone is off?

Every night, I plug my phone in by my bed and go to sleep -- I usually turn the phone off, but occasionally leave it on -- and wake up w/the phone fully charged.

I've never heard or seen this "battery full" pop-up that folks speak of, and I've assumed that's because I keep the "system volume" all the way down. Also assumed it only applies when the phone is on.

BUT -- the past two nights, the phone has woken me up after a few hours with a low tone (even though it's been turned off both times); I look over, and the screen has turned back on, with a full battery icon glowing green.

This never happened before! I guess it's POSSIBLE that I've always just slept through it, but unlikely (I'm very light sleeper; and why would it have roused me two nights in a row now, and never before in the past month of owning this phone)?

Is this how it works for everyone -- alert sounds even with power off? And is there any conceivable reason why it would suddenly be happening for me now, and never in the past? Thx
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
I doubt it happens with the phone off, but it is very annoying and has happened from Day 1. I never turn my phone off, but after the first few days of being awakened to learn my battery was now full, I now just put the phone face down (system notifications turned way down) so now it doesn't bother me when it happens.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
Thanks - see, that's the thing - my system volume is turned all the way down, so I've never heard the alert even when I've left the phone on. That's why hearing it with the phone OFF is so bizarre. (If it hadn't happened last night, too, I would have thought I dreamed it the first time!)

What does the alert sound like? It is it your default system notification?
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
OK, this time I charged it in the evening (w/phone turned off), and observed from across the room -- it def. makes a little "brrpt!" and lights up the battery icon when fully charged. So weird! (Do folks in Korea never plug their phones in on the nightstand? Or are they heavy sleepers?)

Then I turned it back on, charged a little more, and saw the the "Unplug charger" pop-up for the first time (no sound in that scenario, since system vol. is down). So I guess I'll have to leave the phone on when I charge by my bed... and silence the ringer, so I'm not "disturbed"... then remember to turn the ringer back on in the a.m.... (blech!)
[Vibrant General] theodork:
More likely they don't even have the warning on their phones, and it was added to american market phones due to our propensity to being lawsuit-happy.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
I would sooner sue Samsung for disturbing my precious slumber than I would for my phone exploding on the charger!!! :D

Thinking about this again, in the calm light of day, I can see that leaving the phone on (and putting it on "Silent") if I'm going to have it charging by the bed overnight isn't too onerous a workaround. Just so funky that those notifications can't be turned off...

"First World problems..."!
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
The problem is, if you use something like Kaloer Clock (the best Android Desktop clock, IMO), the damn battery notification comes over it in the middle of the night and it stays there until you actually dismiss it.

Just stupid - like the camera block at 15%.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
The message is no longer a problem with the new firmware. I don't mind it being a notifications message now.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
Oh, that's good news! It gives you the option to disable?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Its a message in the notifications menu. Not sure if you can remove the message completely..
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Are you referring to the "battery full" notification or the camera block at 15%?
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
well, considering he said "message," i'm gonna go with the battery full notification
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Well, what do you call the pop up that tells you can't use the camera because your battery is at 15%, then?

Anyway, if it's the battery thing indeed, then we can scratch off the list one of the "features" which qualify as idiotic on this phone.
[Vibrant General] qeed:
Avoiding full discharges prolongs battery life, but keeping the battery at max + high temp is bad.

"Simple Guidelines

Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.

Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.

Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.

Consider removing the battery from a laptop when running on fixed power. (Some laptop manufacturers are concerned about dust and moisture accumulating inside the battery casing.)

Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.

If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge. "

Which Firmware is this?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
JI2 no longer displays the battery full pop-up over and over and over again. It puts a notification in your notifications panel that the battery is full. Music/Camera still closes out when the battery is deemed too low.

Nope

Nope ... it is saved in a directory using the date/time as the folder. If you still have an update.zip in your SD card its because you never deleted it.

Voice search does not work... "connection problem"

Voice mail, you DO get notification, voice mail needs to be set up... i will add it to the guide. But Visual Voice Mail does not work. MetroPCS does offer a visual voice mail for $3 a month....i see settings that would indicate that it "SHOULD" work with the metro system :)

The use name is set in QPST, try that again. Are you in a 1X or EVDO network area? Did you make the Anycut > Proxy short cut, and enter in the right values?
[EVO 4G Android Development] alphaeagle777:

UPDATE 8/1/10

Using the Ava FroyoV2RC3: as of today, i am getting "service denied" message when sending a MMS..... web and sync apps work just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fritzel67:
In other words, this solution does not get MMS working. In addition, the use of Anycut isn't really required if the autostart and u2nl solution is correctly implemented.

We really need to consolidate these procedures and improve existing solutions as opposed to coming up with additional partial solution threads. As I mentioned in another thread, everything but MMS has been working for the EVO on Cricket and Metro for some time now. The only real challenge at this point is MMS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Yes It Did!!, i sent almost 3 dozen MMS after i wrote this. But now it would seem to have intermittent problems with "service denied"... it worked for me about 1hr ago, then the second MMS failed....

Better then noting at all..... At the time of writing this guide, i had sent at least 10 MMS and confirmed receipt of said MMS's, form on network and off network users, even MMS-ed some messages to my own email! EVERY THING WORKED 100%!!

Yes, that's why i sited other threads...DUH!

You are MORE then welcome to come up with YOUR own solution.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] token419:
i should have a new flash up soon that specificly targets backend MMS stuff, i hope its exactly whats needed for you all.

Just waiting for word back from whiterabbit about some mods i did to his updated script.

The new updates from him that i will incorporate will be a considerably better, and mine helps with "in network" networking, then sends anything else out via u2nl. Hope he approves my mods and then i can start work.

So far i have full TCP and ICMP traffic working via the proxy.

I was having some issues on cricket so i decided to make some mods and walah im up 100% of the time. I too was having sporadic mms working. I think it was because we were directing all traffic to u2nl which forwarded to the proxy, then it hit the MMS server, whereas with my new mods if the MMS server is available in the local network inside the proxy, it gets sent there directly.

Ill post an update when i update my thread with a new flash :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Thanks token419!!

I look forward to trying your new script.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SYNTHAXXX:
Why

For those of you which attempted this solution and are unaware, this does not provide working internet, is buggy, at best, and is Rom-dependent. MMS will be resolved and added to my tutorial as soon as I have time to iron it out.

Everything, except for MMS, has been working on the EVO since I posted posted a tutorial weeks ago.

Not to bash this tutorial - but I must say, working MMS and broken Internet is not what most people are looking for.

Cheers!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
UMMMM...dont know where your are getting your information form, but Web works 100% ALL THE TIME. I spend all day surfing the net on my EVO on a 1X connection at work and on the road. Market downloads do not work without wifi, might be from the 1X connection. MMS works, but its been spotty lately, with "service denied" errors. Did you even read the first post? Its all outlined their....

FYI... the flash file from token419 does everything your posts say to do, it adds u2nl and other setting to the phone AUTOMATICALLY!!!! All you have to do is use clockworkmod to flash the zip file... and your done!

ALSO

... flashing token419's zip file will work on ANY ROM!!!! I am using OMJs 2.2 ROM right now with web working 100%...thanks to token419!! Again....did you even read the first post??
[EVO 4G Android Development] SYNTHAXXX:
Working web

So, are you saying that internet apps work with this solution? Market, Gmail, YouTube, Navigation, Voice Search, Pandora, and anything else which requires a protocol, other that HTTP?

With a simple proxy setting in AnyCut/BetterCut, anyone can have a working web browser...

Please clarify...

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
WORKING STUFF:

-Web browser works 100% (with flash in froyo2.2 too)

-Market allows you to browse ALL APPs, but downloads dont work.

-Gmail works 100%

-Mail app works 100%

-Weather updates with location (and GPS OFF) works 100%

-News updates work 100%

-Pandora works...but has to buffer for a little while, so we will say 95%.

-Stocks work 100%

-Navigation works 100%...but REAL slow to download map data

-Maps work 100%

-Voice Search NOT WORKING... says "connection problem"

-Youtube works to browse... then says "problem playing video" even if HQ is off.

-ClockworkMod you can download ROMs right from the app works 100% (wouldn't advice it on 1X)

I not sure if you are actually reading my posts, but i'll tell ya one more time...

Flashing the file from token419 (metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.zip) makes everything work but MMS read his thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730289

We are only dependent on this ROM because of the MMS working. Flashing

metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.zip via clockworkmod will make ANY ROM WORK (but no MMS)!

I really dont think i can be any clearer
[EVO 4G Android Development] SYNTHAXXX:
Everything works (kinda)

Oh no, you are quite clear, except for the "everything works" part.

So, as long as you use the one correct Rom, you get working MMS and a "kinda working internet", except you can't stream video, download apps, or use voice search. Got it. Then, with any other Rom, you get no MMS and the "kinda working internet".

Just wanted to make sure...

I'm sorry I had to push the way I have, but there are so many tutorials floating around with false information, I figured I would try and help out the community by questioning this one. As we have now arrived at the conclusion that this is a proprietary solution for a particular Rom, and which IS NOT fully functional. Sure, it's close - but here's the problem. I posted a tutorial which is not proprietary and it has FULLY worked for those who have use it. The only part lacking in my tutorial, which is clearly stated, is that MMS does not work. So, now we find this thread, which claims to be everything we have, plus MMS. Well it couldn't be more misleading. And, now that I am aware of exactly what this solution provides, I am sharing it with everyone that has wasted time, thinking that this was going to be the last piece of the puzzle... Quite disappointing, to say the least.

No hard feelings - I'm just sharing so that those who have everything working except for MMS don't get snagged on this so-called "everything works" solution.
