[Streak 5 General] kevinwatson5:
Great Battery

I use mine for about 4 hours a day of heavy use. I browse the web and emails and some music so 4 to 5 hours a day is a lot of phone use. Replying to 200 text messages and 30 minutes of phone calls. Wifi when I am at home and I have wifi sleep set to never and the only thing I have syncing automatically are my Google apps like mail, contacts and calendars. Even with all this use I can get 2 good days out of this phone. I do have auto brightness off and screen to lowest setting which to me is still pretty bright and vibrant.
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
That's really good Kevin, since you also use it heavily for 4-5 hours constant...

I will charge my streak when I get home this evening from work as my battery is reading 23%

It will be charged for the first time in 7 days, brilliant I would say!

Reason it lasted so long was because I used my Streak for a few minutes a day, not hours!

My screen is also set to 80% brightness but was used for around 30 mins in the last week...
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Crikey, I use mine varying amounts and most days its either fully depleted by 10pm or not far off. 40% is often stand by, 50% call stand by (not sure what th e difference is), and 10% others. The only way I could get 2 days is to turn it off fir one of them. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or do ihave a duff battery?
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
You must either use a lot of wifi/3g or videos/screen...

Most days I only touch my Streak for a few minutes, only when I need to.

90% of the time I do not touch it and it's in standby mode, that's why it lasts so long.

If I was to use wifi for 30 mins, some youtube & video's then I will also get 1 or 2 days if I'm lucky...

However, considering the size of it, great battery...
[Streak 5 General] kevinwatson5:
fotgot to mention

I work in a place with no wifi in the break room and I am on edge not 3g. At home I use wifi and get 3g but my primary usage is at work. Its still very fast ob edge and i have had otber smart phones not get as good of battery as this device under the same circumstances.
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
I forgot to mention I ALWAYS turn my Streak off before I sleep, around 11-12 at night...

Reason for this is because I get the odd idiot who call me at 5-6 in the morning and wake me up!

I do not turn it on till I get to work as I travel on the underground. There is no point to turn it on when theres no reception.

The Streak is therefore turned on only 10-12 hours a day, another good reason why it lasts so long!

I hardly talk on it too and when I use wifi, it's usually for a few mins only.
[Streak 5 General] souljaboy:
i saw what u did there ....
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
I use it quite a bit, I do 1 hour of listen in the mornimg amd on way home. I might browse the internet on wireless when I'm at home. When at home I leave the wireless on. Ifi make or receive a call it can knock a chunk out of the battery.

I noticed I get surprising battery loss when I click stand by on an app. Did it with listen yesterday eve. My phone was dead by 9pm even when I had 30% at 5pm
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
2.1 has improved battery loads.......oossibly due to resetimg the phone and less apps but I am on 45% battery, its been on allday with gps, Sync, and some wifi. Although I havent use am it all day I'd say I have had average use
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
I will soon find out i the battery is any better. I last charged my streak around 6:00pm last night, hardly used it. Turned it off before I went to bed at 12:00.

Turned it on again this morning at 9:00am, the battery is now reading 99%

Have not used wifi or made any calls yes, that's why it's not dropped.
[Streak 5 General] kenmckean:
battery

I would never call anyone a liar particularly from behind a screen in this case distance but 55% after 4 days does seem exceptionally good and most certainly not my experience - daily at least being the norm

Kenmckean
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
But if you use it as a phone, ie turn off data, wifi etc unless needed, especially if "needed" is never, then I reckon it could happen. But I use my phone and it now lasts a day easy.

2.1 lasts the while day with wifi on most of the day, data on all day, sync on all day, gps on all day.

I've never had a phone that could do that.
[Streak 5 General] yokuoh:
Good thread.

I would be interested to know how far the OP is from the base station. I had a problem where my battery was on 98%(ish) before bed, and 0% when I woke up. I found out that the nearest base station had been having problems and my phone had been trying to connect all night which drained the battery. In fact it says on the Dell website that if your phone is in and out of signal and trying to connect that it can drain the battery quicker.

It would be interesting to know how this is affecting battery life on the Streak.

With moderate usage I get two days before having to re-charge.

It would be nice to see an extended battery from Dell! (even if it meant a bulky back plate to go with it).

:)
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
Should you have problems with th battery reading 98% and then suddenly 0% try a battery app/widget.

Look for vizbattery, great app and excellent widget, very accurate.

It's a free app. You simply install it, then go to your home screen, press the screen for a few seconds, then put add widget, then look for vizbattery and select it.

It will then put the battery gauge/meter on your screen and the battery will go down in %

The widget looks really nice and what I like about it is that when your streak is fully charged or has a lot of juice left in it, the battery indicator is green, when it drops below 50% it turns yellow and below 30% or 20% it goes red, great app...
[Streak 5 General] yokuoh:
I think you must have mis-read my post.

The problem I had was temporary. The battery was driven down by the phone trying to connect to the base station with a weak signal. This is listed as a potential problem on the Dell website.

It would be interesting to know how the issue affects battery life of other users or if others have noticed it but not wanting to threadjack.

My point being that this is also a factor when thinking about battery life.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andyp83:
Hi, I am happy with GPS on my galaxy s and it seems to lock in very quickly. I have a slightly different issue which is a pain for me. With my HD2 I could connect my phone to my stereo via bluetooth and play music. While doing this I would use the GPS for copilot. With the galaxy s though as soon as the GPS fires up the BT connection with my stereo is dropped. Does anyone else have a problem like this? or am I being stupid and this will not work like it does on the HD2.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scalpel4hire:
Yes, I get this problem too!

I've posted eleswhere on this forum about it, but got no answer as yet. I'm using Plantronics Backbeat headphones, and thought they were just 'losing touch' with the SGS randomly, but since reading your post, I find they work fine until I use the GPS & then voila - no bluetooth connection to the headset anymore. The GPS in my SGS also works fine, BTW, unlike many others, by the sound of it.

Unfortunately, while I can commiserate (& feel a little happier knowing what's causing the Bluetooth 'drop-out'), I can't offer any solution, as I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a coder/programmer. Sorry.

pls help.
[Desire General] claudefrog:
I would almost certainly guarantee you have the 0.80 (HBOOT) bootloader and the Virgin Mobile ROM is the only one you can use.

All of the generic RUU's are for a Bootloader 7.50

Best thing I can suggest is do what I did, use Unrevoked one click root method, plenty of info on the forums here, then just flash the base 2.2 Froyo ROM from Paul over a Modaco.

Far less trouble and you will have a rooted phone with a decent 2.2 rom.
[Desire General] z174621:
Yes you are right, my hboot is 0.80.

I will try what i can do。

I use another rom before the Virgin one。

Maybe I should just leave my phone without doing Anything ， until the Offical rom released， then I flash it to 2.2 easily just click the RUU on computer。

To install it:

I copied everything off of the old card onto my computer

put in the new card

copied the stuff from my computer to my phone.

Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to get this working so i can put a bunch of music on my evo (using itunes sync).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jUbib:
Hey, I am looking for a little help here.

In the newest version of LauncherPro (7.3.0) it is possible to assign shortcuts to swipe gestures on the dock icons.

I would like to use swipe gestures for connecting with custom shortcuts made in BetterCut. E.g. swiping message icon would open up a new message (no specific contact); swiping Gmail => New mail; swiping Calendar => New Event; swiping Contacts => New Contact. You probably get the picture now, and I think this would really be useful.

I have the code ready for BetterCut to at least make new messages and new events. If anyone has the code needed for making a new event I would appreciate it as well.

New email:

AnyCut > Make your own
Action = android.intent.action.SENDTO
Data = mailto:
type: <empty>

New message:

AnyCut -> Make your own
Action: android.intent.action.SENDTO
Data: sms:
type: <empty>

New contact:

action: android.intent.action.INSERT
data: content://contacts/people
type: <empty>

The problem is that when trying to assign these shortcuts to swipe gestures BetterCut prompts the messages: "Shortcut X created" [...] "No more room on this homescreen" and the shortcut is placed on the homescreen itself intead being assigned to the swipe gesture. When swiping the icon it simply opens up BetterCut instead of the newly made shortcut. This probably has as much if not more to do with the way BetterCut is behaving as it does with LauncherPro, so what I am looking for is actually a way around this to be able to add custom made shortcuts in BetterCut to the swipe gestures in the dock. I tried working my way around it by using FolderOrganizer and creating a shortcut here instead of in the dock. However, the same thing happens: The shortcut will be placed on the homescreen instead of in FolderOrganizer.

Any help is appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jUbib:
No luck getting any help here, but for future reference I will post my solution here.

First of all, Launcher Pro 0.7.4 just came out, and it makes it possible to add activities as both regular and dock shortcuts. There you will find most of the shortcuts I was looking in the original post.

Till this came out I used another solution, which is more flexible but also more complicated; Android Scripting Environment. Here are two code examples in python for adding a new contact and composing a new text message:

New contact in ASE, python:

import android
droid = android.Android()
droid.startActivity('android.intent.action.INSERT', 'content://contacts/people')
droid.makeToast('Add new contact')
droid.exit()

New message in ASE, python:

import android
droid = android.Android()
droid.startActivity('android.intent.action.SENDTO', 'sms:')
droid.makeToast('New message')
droid.exit()

Hello, I'm looking for a stable ROM without sense... I have tried Indigo(CM 5.08) and Cyanogen 6 but wifi doesn't works. It says "obtaining IP adress".

I'm planning on trying out the ROMs currently available for the N1. I currently have a rooted N1 with 2.2.

Given the space constraints on the phone I have been using the Move to SD card option. What will happen to these when I flash a new ROM? Should I move them to the internal memory? Will they work post ROM install?
[Nexus One General] bu2askoor:
Usually when you install a rom for the first time, you will have to start fresh. This means you have to wipe all data first (i think this usually wipe all data and settings on the phone and not the SD card).

I install AppBrain to sync my phone to the site. I install new rom then first thing i install AppBrain App which resync all my apps.

To save your settings and SMS/MMS, i suggest using Titanium Backup.

I hope somoene has better overall step by step.

I've got a GoKart golf trolley and I have a Golf GPS program for my HD2, so firstly I need to find a holder for the phone but the question I have for you chaps is,

As I'm running Android on my HD2 and this eats batteries - can any of you recommend a good portable charger that works for the HD2? I'm thinking one of those battery packs that has a usb connetion - then I just plug in my standard lead......I may look to see if I can wire up a usb socket from the carts battery via a cig lighter type setup.

The reason why I think I need one is that a round of golf can be 4 hours long and I'd need to have the screen set to full brightness and always on so I can easily see the golf program.

any help would be great

cheers
[HD2 Accessories] yeoldgreat1:
As you're using a cigarette lighter would a generic car charger do?
[HD2 Accessories] LessThanSte:
Sorry to flag this up after so long.

Do you really need to see the program all the time? I use GolfGPS when im playing and have the screen turned off except when im stood over the ball ready to take a shot and need to know the yardage. Turning the screen off when not needed will save you loads of battery. My HD2 easily gets round a course with 50% or so to spare on battery life. I think GPS can be set to run in the background but even if not, it doesnt take more than a few seconds usually to figure out where you are!

As for holders, i dont know if you sorted it but have a look at http://www.pdahut.com/herbert-richter-holders-and-mounts/ , id imagine the bike handlebar one would probably fit onto a golfcart resonably well!

Bike Mount from Ebay

I have bought this bicycle mount from ebay and wanted to share my overall positive opinion on it. It is quite cheap, 3,77$ including shipping to Taiwan, but well built, durable and functional nevertheless. It truly is designed especially for HD2.

Pros:

*really universal(up to 1 inch), it was easy to mount and dismount,. no hassle.

*Sturdy fixation on the steering bar.

*360 degree swirling ball-head joint, very easy to tilt.

* not covering any important part of the phone.

* the holder is cushioned wherever touches the plastic of Phone to reduce possible wearing. inserts.

Cons:

* Was rather hard to pull the phone off the mount,the battery cover tended to come off too. But i guess it is reasonable, otherwise the phone would snap off on every bump and jump. I just think that there might be another fixation mechanism, that could be both reliable and easy-releasing..

* no instruction or manual on how to mount/use the holder.

* it is even harder to pull the holder out from the fixed part. I imagine there would be cases when one would try to briefly release the phone out of holder (to make a call for instance) and put it back. Well, with current design it is rather hard. Me maybe I am doing something wrong. Or some parts need to work a couple of times back and forth until they get to the necessary usable condition? I will see..

* The plastic phone holder has a hole for camera, but i would rather prefer if it would have another hole for the LED light, to use it as an emergency blinking light in cases my bike light is damaged/dead.

Conclusion: I recommend - very handy accessory for frequent bikers, but more suitable for outdoor "sunny" biking, where one would not need to take the phone out and back frequently.

P.S. If there was a nice and cheap waterproof case (to drive in rain) i would have gone for it, but couldn't find any, so ended up with this
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I'm new relatively new, been installing ROMs, recoveries, and kernels only since the first cm6. I keep seeing people say how much they can't wait for apps2sd (I'm assuming they're referring to something different than what FroYo offers natively). In the same breadth I keep seeing SD card partitioning and ext2/3/4 or whatever. I'm guessing these topics are all related.

I suppose one of my questions is, other than saving a little space by putting some apps on the SD card, is there some other reason people are so anxious for this feature? And what is the purpose of SD card partitioning? I understand partitioning and its usefulness with PCs but I simply don't know enough about Android.

I'm hoping the answer to all this is similar to the PC side. It would be great to move all apps to a special partition and be able to flash Tom's in and out or restore nandroids and keep all your apps just how they were.
