One reviewer got 84 hours of battery life with moderate use..including watching a movie and etc...the battery life should be one of the best..but things to consider are:

CDMA takes more battery then GSM

Wimax takes up a bunch of battery if your in a place with not consistent signal

Some firmware does better then others

It varies and some people claim certain batteries need to be trained before getting full battery life...

Either way it will definitely beat an EVO in battery life..and once we tweak it up a bit im sure we can get it really good....
[Epic 4G General] TheBiles:
I'd be extremely impressed if it beat the EVO, but I guess that isn't hard to image given the Super AMOLED screen. I get pretty good battery life right now, but that would just be another perk if I decide to take the plunge.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well also the CPU is 45nm compared to the snapdragon being 65nm...

also I am hoping 4g works better with the samsung phone as samsung helped deploy the 4g network for sprint..
[Epic 4G General] TheBiles:
Really now? I've never head of this. Samsung isn't a Clearwire partner...
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
I'd be impressed by the Evo if the Galaxy S doesn't at least double the Evo's battery life, 45nm processor, no junk in the trunk (Snapdragon).

You sure about that? I dont know about partner but Samsung has alot more expierence making WiMax devices than say HTC.

http://blog.connectedplanetonline.c...ng-launches-first-wimax-device-for-clearwire/
[Epic 4G General] TheBiles:
from Clear's website.
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
Do they really need to be a partner to have more expierence with their network than anyone else? Fact: Samsung made Clear's first WiMax device.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I never said they were an investor in clearwire..I said they deploy the wimax networks..aka Sprint and/or clearwire pays Samsung and they are responsible for deploying wimax in the area...I know 100% Samsung did the deployment in NY...Don't know about other places..but either way it gives samsung an edge to be more familiar with the tech..

Lets not talk how Sprint was 2 years late on those promises though lol
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
Having had 2 Evos since release I know they can't do much worse, the battery is pretty much dead if you leave 4G on for more than 2-3 hours.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
I doubt the Epic would do much better with 4G on for that amount of time. Fortunately thats a feature that isn't really needed to often and you can turn it off without affecting your phones data performance much. Then when u want to impress someone with a Hi-res youtube clip, flip it back on and let it rip.

I get pretty good life with my evo, but it is rooted though.
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
If it's not expected to get more than 3 hours why create it at all? A 4G radio should keep it's uptime and consume a little more battery life than it's 3G counterpart eventually we will move on to 4G and kick 3G to the curb. Bad news is all we have to compare it to is an Evo which is a catastrophic battery nightmare. Once we get 4G phones out with decent hardware and no crapdragons we'll know for sure, but benchmarking 4G battery life on an Evo? Please!
[Epic 4G General] pongoface:
My rooted evo can go all day on stock battery. I played pandora on 4g today for 5 hours and still had 73% battery left.

Just got extended battery with normal usage about 2-3 days before it hits the charger lol. And i use my phone like a netbook.
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
Good luck with that if you can get 2-3 days with an extended battery I fully expect to get at least a week from a 45nm processor and a super amoled screen, the Epic will easily double the Evo's battery life if it doesn't it'll be real close to double. The major problem with the Evos is the hardware they used, the 65nm battery sucking snapdragon combined with a huge 4.3" LCD screen and absolutely no thought about battery consumption whatsoever. Heck I still remember going from 95% battery down to 20 in 30 mins of having wifi tether on 1 device (another cellphone) lol.
[Epic 4G General] TheBiles:
Sounds like a problem with your device. I can wifi tether for about 3 to 4 hours before getting that low.
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
Had the same expierence on both my Evos before I returned them. Keep anything that consumes alot of battery on and you're guaranteed not to go a full day. By the way 3-4 hours is still bad, a good device should be able to go all day even if tethering something as simply as a cellphone. On the Evo forums everyone says the samething I can go 2,3 or 4 hours with it on, don't they realize that's bad? Heck my Moment goes for 12+ hours on moderate/heavy use, I know it doesn't have alot of things like the Evo but it still pulls updates from Facebook every 30mins same with twitter and checks e-mails all day long. With a 1500mah batter there is no excuse to go all day, had they not used the hardware they used maybe it would be a different story.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Its a bit complicated...4G does not really waste more energy then 3G...it depends on your location and searching for towers uses up more energy...

Either way the Galaxy S would use up less energy then the Evo either way..
[Epic 4G General] pongoface:
I will be owning a epic as soon as it comes out as well. I really can't wait. I am hoping that the gps works lmao. Also that there is a developing community half as good that there is for the evo. I know my evo's problems but i love her. A stock evo sucks this i know but my modded evo simply can not be beat by anything on the market right now with 4g. The epic will be epic but lets see if samsung ACTUALLY supports their phone. Plus anything can be ported. I am using blockbusters vcast on my evo right now. As for battery we shall see very shortly. My fathers moment sucked balls at release and only got better with 2.1 eclair. My evo outlasts his phone everyday. Can not wait for my epic. So i can really compare. Love samsung but hate their phones. Had a bunch and they have all sucked. Lol @ vibrant and captivate gps issues. Go samsung
[Epic 4G General] pongoface:
Sabrina, really everyone on the evo forums lmao. I am all over that forum everyday since launch day. Yesterday I tethered 4g for five hours surfing the net and taking 5 calls while still surfing. My battery only dropped 19%. Did you root ur evo's or did you keep the stock. Btw medium to heavy usage is descibed as 20 or more calls, surfing the web, using 4g, 50 texts, playing games. Kernals have come along way. I am getting the epic as well. But I believe that you will be disappointed in the battery life of the epic as well. The only way the epic is going to last a week is having it rooting, putting it down, and staring at it. If i can get a week out of my new epic using it the way i use my evo I will kiss your a**. Btw i love a good debate.
[Epic 4G General] TheBiles:
Wireless tethering is some heavy lifting. Not only are you constantly using you data connection, but you also have to broadcast it. I don't think any device could go all day in that.

--
[Epic 4G General] TheBiles:
Just curious, but which ROM are you on?

--
[Epic 4G General] pongoface:
Caulkins evio v2 with froyo baked snack kernel #1 keep it 998mhz with scaling on demand. 245-245 screen off. Using setcpu of course. I think better kernels coming since htc released source today already. You wont see that from samsung.
[Epic 4G General] pongoface:
Remember its not always the rom, it is the kernel. Undervolted kernels use less energy. My undervolted kernel just has less battery drain, 55 fps, high benchmarks, and most importantly no boot loops. My evo just flies. I am running a snappy rom on a powerful yet efficient kernel that is better than stock kernel in both aspects.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
What do you mean? Samsung released the Vibrant and Captivate sources recently didn't they? HTC only just today released theirs? That tells me samsung did what htc did and did it faster since the evo has been out a lot longer.
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
He means nothing because he knows nothing, he's speaking through his a** right now. Here's a fact for you, the Galaxy S phone released it's open source kernel the same week the phone was released, can you say the same for your beloved Evo?

I didn't think so.

PS: Kernels don't cause boot loops, people that don't know how to flash correctly and bad ROMs that aren't properly done do. By the way it's pretty funny that you're flaunting how you're phone can do 55fps most phones do that out the box but the Evo is the exception thanks to HTC but that's definitely not exceptional by any stretch.
[Epic 4G General] pongoface:
Hey dumbazzes, htc released its wait for it, 2ND KERNEL SOURCE 1 WEEK AFTER RELEASING FROYO. And yes 1 week after the phone was released for eclair. God you dumdum lollipops make me laugh. Told u i am buying an epic as well but it might be til christmas for samsung to push froyo.
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
WoW Bad at mathematics too! The HTC Evo was released in early June, the kernel wasn't released for an entire MONTH after that, at least Google what you debate.

hi, i have htc desire and i have one problem no more sound on my mobile phone i dont know what's happend with my phone , it's work perfect but only vibrator , please if someone know help me :(
[Desire General] mirajrussell:
My desire is unlocked. I installed HTC stock rom of froyo.

Only one problem: The application from market downloads to the phone but during installation the phone restarts and therefore no market application can be installed.

bootloader is .80 and software number is 2.09.405.8

Radio version is 4.06.00.02_2

Please suggest..........
[Desire General] jasonshieh0405:
Hi, I am currently having the sort of same problem, which is that after updating to stock Froyo, my android market seems not working properly. I can still browse the market, but everytime I try to install a new app/ update the app installed before, it only says it starts downloading, but it only stops right there and can't never finish downloading the apps. i tried restarting and removing the battery, but nothing works. mine's euro unlocked Desire A8181, stock Froyo, unrooted

p.s. sorry for any stupid remarks, i'm pretty new here.

i have a lot of small media clips and most of them start with black screen so when i open gallery I see all the clips as black thumbs so i dont know which one to choose !!:mad:

is there a way to solve that or i'll have to live with this stupid gallery !!!???:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xfile087:
You say small media clips that start with a blank screen, as in a video? If so, why not just open the video player app? It shows the name of each file and a thumbnail (though that will still be black)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Kazior:
Was gonna put it in the applications section but it's far too important i think: SWYPE

Says it all..the only thing I considered annoying in the handset was the keyboard and now it's perfect! Try it if you still haven't and it shall change your life :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
How did it change your life?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Kazior:
Well I can type faster than on a blackberry for instance
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
So because you can type faster it... oh never mind ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wywywywy:
I used to be a Swype user, until I found Swiftkey.

Swiftkey definitely works much much faster than Swype for me because of its predictive text, which is actually smart and usable.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Don't tell him that... his life will change forever and ever and ever..:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] akuma24:
:D classic
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shadders:
thanks for recommending SwiftKey, i downloaded it and it looks quite promising so i'm gonna try it out a bit more :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Kazior:
I appreciate your elaborate sense of humour but look up 'metaphor' mate.. I shared something on the forum which I thought was important and if you don't like it or want to take the piss go on 4chan

amen
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Kazior:
thanks for the tip, will try that out definitely!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wywywywy:
Don't forget to add it to the exception list of your task killer, if you use one.

Because this keyboard takes a little bit longer than the HTC one to start up.

EDIT: Oh and a new version is out today btw!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] apesgrapes:
i've been using slideIT which is so good i haven't bothered with swype yet, but now i'm tempted to try swiftkey.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ~David:
I love Swype, but the SYM layout is just terrible.

Why can't they stick to the standard QWERTY layout? This is what I'm talking about, btw:

It also needs an option to remove the "Hint" key completely. It's wasting valuable space.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] apesgrapes:
lol wft. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ~David:
Exactly my thoughts when I first opened it. It is completely illogical.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] odin13:
come on peeps...a little bit of humor doesn't hurt anybody :)

for those wanting to try Swype;

check my post on this forum for a link!

hoi,

odin
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
Good thing i grabbed a copy of it before the mods took down your link. been wanting to try it. Its cool and all but i find that correcting my mistakes and adding new words is a pain and takes away my speed. I type way faster on the default keyboard with auto correct on. No match. It also takes up too much space on the screen and is a ~20mb app (doesnt matter for me since i have apps2sd). Thanks for sharing though odin13.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] e2zippo:
I would love to try Swype and compare it to SlideIT and Swiftkey but I can't find a swedish version of it. Swiftkey does the job pretty well but everyone keep saying how good Swype is and I'd like to try.

But the last update of SlideIT was pretty good add well, predicts words great now, the only thing I'm missing is a fast way to reach special characters.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Neo Cortex:
Swiftkey kept crashing my browser. I had to uninstall it and went back to Swype. Then I remembered why I like Swype so much.
[General Questions and Answers] Sander:
My car radio has bluetooth but only autoconnects with the last phone that was paired.

Since my girlfriend and I both use it I often need to connect manual.

Is it possible to create some kind of macro that I can make into a quicklink wich connects my HD2 to my radio?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
So today I got my 2nd slide in the mail...My slide is having keyboard/wiggle problems so I called an they sent me another one which when I recieved that one it had the exact same problem but much worse, so I called um an they sent me another one again which I just got and guess what this one has same problem, although not as bad (yet), AND it has horrible lights leaks coming thru the screen AND light coming thru the front cover! WTF.

Should I call an get another one sent an try yet again to get a good one OR should I tell um i want something else an if so will they send me something diff or am I only gonna be able to replace it with the same phone?

I like this phone very much but damn if I cant one that looks and works right I may have to sell it on Craigslist an find something else. Im not picky I just want my moneys worth from a phone that cost me $300 an that when I got worked great. Feel me?

What would yall do?

i would try to get a different phone, as been reading around here i saw couple threads say the camera has degrading issue too
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Showtime7:
I'd ask for a Vibrant. That's just me though... After that many replacements they have to understand that giving you a different phone is in their best interests, ya know. I haven't experienced any problems with my Slide but I am expecting to run into some... I may go ahead and try to sell mine now before it screws up, and get myself a Vibrant (though, I've heard that has been having its share of issues as well). Either that or wait to see what phones are coming out for the big fall release (the rumored Vision seeming likely). But yeah I'd say ask for something else.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
Im gonna call them today an see what they say. They will prob want to just send me another slide but i may just tell not to. My sister got the new Vibrant so I played with that yesterday and decided that, although its a very nice phone, its not what I want at all. Ive got an Ipone now that I sometimes use and that Vibrant is pretty similar and im tired of that kind of phone. Which is another reason I really want this MyTouch to be a good phone. Ill let yall know what they say. Thanks for your thoughts.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Paticakeman:
Let me know what they say about giving you a different phone. I'm on my 3rd slide and I'm think I just want the galaxy untill something better comes out in a couple months.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] statuzz:
yeah..u should just get a new phone or something? vibrant !
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
Ok so I called um and this time they told me to go to a store an show them what im talking about an see if they can replace or fix it there. Well I know they cant fix it cause it isnt something like that an I doubt they give me a brand new one when Im there SO I bet ill be calling um back tomorrow after I leave the tmoile store so they can send me another one. Hope fully the next one wont be messed up. Well see...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Paticakeman:
Did you ask about getting a different replacement phone besides the slide??
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
Didnt really have a chance to ask um that cause the guy was persistant on me taking it to a tmobile store. Im thinking bout calling them back an seeing what another rep says I should do cause the tmobile store by me is in the mall an I hate the mall. Plus he said he didnt think they could give me a brand new one I would have to get a refurbished one, which is another reason I think I should just call um again im pretty sure they only have new ones at the store, although I could be wrong.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] BigFellor:
Good luck. I'm on my third Slide for various connection and MMS/SMS problems. This phone is just a piece of ****. So far, the only thing they have wanted to replace it with is a Blackberry Bold. Not quite going to cut it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
Well I decided to go ahead and keep the replacement phone they sent me that has the small light leaks. My bf said he cant barely see what im talking about. Plus ive already rooted, flashed and installed a custom rom on this new one an its running good. Guess I can learn to look past the light leaks. Ill prob end up selling this one on Craigslist soon as Tmobile comes out with something better later this year.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
Sounds like you chose the lesser of two evils. What ROM are you running on it?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
Im running Legend to slide rom at the moment but i am thinking bout changing it an trying froyo. How bout you what rom are you using?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
Wow so sorry about the late reply, I have actually just rooted my phone and it was surprisingly painless. It took me less than 10 minutes and I was done. I am actually still running the stock ROM and I haven't really seen any ROM that makes me want to change that. What ROM(s), if any, caught your attention?

[edit]

I am now running CM OC806 kernel as well :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
Well I'm running Eugenes version of froyo now an I like it the best so far now. Besides the camara being a bit slower an maybe a couple other things none of which are bad enough to remember right now, this rom is pretty stable.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
That's cool. I want to see some screen shots of what his ROM has on it. I'm going to do a search and try to find some. I'd like to flash a stable ROM to my phone, I've just been slacking :)

Try another Rom Super D v1.9.3 and SuperFast v1.3.3 are excellent Donut (1.6) ones to test your battery issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kensei22:
ok ill try out SuperD thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
I will bet that your battery issues are not ROM-related. Being that its an after-market battery, and used, it's probably outliving its life spam. To my knowledge, batteries are meant to provide a certain number of charges, every time you plug the power cable into the phone to charge it, that constitutes for one charge. Whether its for 5 minutes, or 5 hours. They usually have a set number, somewhere around 500 charges. After that, it slowly stops holding a solid charge.

I would suggest buying a NEW battery, not used.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend221:
Youre assumption is correct, thats why I directed him to flash a Donut rom to test and see if the short battery life occurs again.

Until we hear from him we wont be 100% in our hypothesis.

Youve gotten ahead of me and commented about the battery being the culprit, damn, beat me to it. ha ha ha.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kensei22:
i would say its lasting longer, but only by 1 to 2 hours more. so im going to buy a new battery. thanks for the advice tho
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krician:
