Updated to include CM7 procedures

Procedure for CM7 ROMs on GalaxyS devices

*You will not be able to do the normal "Bump Charge" procedure above due to the fact that the CM7 kernel will not allow it to charge while turned off, which is the same behavior as the Nexus S.

1. Plug your phone in and allow it to charge to 100% (as of the 5/15 nightly release, CM7 will allow the phone to charge to 100%)

2. Unplug the charger and power off your device normally (be sure the charger remains unplugged, otherwise it will reboot immediately)

3. Remove/replace the battery

4. Plug your phone in and allow it to charge to 100% (plugging it in will force it to boot up)

5. Repeat steps 1-4 until the phone show 100% immediately upon boot (may take several attempts)

6. Delete the batterystats.bin file.

You can either use CWM recovery to remove it, or you can use ADB or a Terminal Emulator to run the following command:

su
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

In order for a new batterystats.bin file to be created by the OS, you will need to boot up.

If you use CWM to delete the file, then once you start the phone back up it will recreate it.

If you delete it using ADB or a Terminal Emulator, you will need to reboot.

The new batterystats.bin file should now have enough information to accurately report how much battery life is remaining.
[Captivate General] skjaidev:
I flashed CM7 (b9) on a stock ROM recently and noticed a 50% drop in battery life (~half day). I did the following:

Upgraded to b13 when it was out (I get the feeling b13 has some auto-brightness related fixes)

Set CPU governor to CONSERVATIVE (No reason for anyone with my kind of usage to be on anything else)

Followed your procedure for CM7

Now my battery life is better than ever - I get > 18 hours easily and thats all I need. I believe its the deletion of data/system/batterystats.bin that had the single biggest effect.
[Captivate General] tiuk:
Is deleting batterystats.bin the same as using "wipe battery stats" in cwm? Seems obvious, just confirming.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
affirmative
[Captivate General] syl0n:
I repeated these steps 6 times already. Still when I boot up battery is at 93%. :/
[Captivate General] XC3N:
sounds like you'll have to do it more than 6 times then =P
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Yeah... CM7 is giving a little bit of trouble for many people. The devs changed something to allow it to show 100% while plugged in, but when you reboot it goes back to 92-97, depending on your device... then in a matter of minutes on the charger it will show 100% again, and when you unplug it it will go back down to 92-97 almost just as fast (but not immediately like you would see with a batterystats issue.

I believe something in the firmware will not let it fully charge for some reason...

Perhaps and external wall charger? But I would think that would only let you get to true 100% once, but the phone will not let it charge up to that point, it would have to always be removed and put on a charger.
[Captivate General] singingmomof6:
Thank you for this post. I've been seeing that the battery indicator when the phone is off and plugged in (80%) doesn't match what the software says when it's turned on (full), but didn't know what to do to fix that.
[Captivate General] jaydrake:
I got to the second charge with the phone off, but it's been nearly 2 hours and it hasn't reached 100% yet. I guess I'll just keep it plugged in to see if it eventually gets to 100%, (although at some point I'm gonna have to use the phone....) but is this normal?
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Are you using the Samsung charger, or is this with an aftermarket one?

Sometimes aftermarket chargers will cease to charge at a certain point, and I think it may be due to something in the firmware that detects a precise voltage, even when the phone is "off"

Also, some people have better luck with the USB charger as opposed to the wall charger. It is slower, but for some people it is more thorough.
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
I find it weird that with the Samsung usb cable I am able to charge up my phone when the power is off but with an after market one that I bought whenever I turn my phone off and plug it into that it just boots it back up for whatever reason. But I figure it just has to do with how it is reading the phone.
[Captivate General] emuking:
Has anyone actually confirmed a CM7 ROM eventually hitting 100% upon boot... if even after 10-50 restarts? So far after few restarts my magic number is still 96%. (running build #33)
[Captivate General] emuking:
Noticing something here that's probably very important for the OP in regards to CM7 battery re-calibration.

If I boot and don't unlock the device (pattern lock), it first says "96%" and then charges to "100%" insanely quick (less than 30s). And every restart always says 96%.

So I tried unlocking the device, and even setting that development option to keep the screen on while charging (dimmed the screen all the way though). Now it's slowly, but surely I feel, charging: 97%, 98%, 100% etc. over the past 8 min. now. Either I was looking away when it said 99% or it skipped it. Rebooting now has me booting at 98%! :D Going to keep doing it this way to see if this works... I think it fakes the last few bits of charge when it's locked, or maybe when the display is off, not sure. Hope this helps anyone with CM7 and having issues with this method.
[Captivate General] TheSoaresan:
I can confirm this works, used to do this on froyo too. Sometimes, I used to change up the calibration method by cycling it. Whoever originally came up with this is, thanks!
[Captivate General] plwalsh88:
Can the batterystats.bin file just be deleted using root explorer by navigating to /data/system/ and clicking to delete the file? And then rebooting to create the new file?
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Affirmative
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Adding to the OP...
[Captivate General] plwalsh88:
Awesome. Gonna start the cycle now. Thanks for the instructions!
[Captivate General] pontonn:
Nice, will try.
[Captivate General] omanpushcar:
hello joeybear, i just switch to Galaxy Ace, is your solution can be work on this phone too? thanks.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
It depends on how the battery stats on your phone is calculated, but I bet it would work. This procedure was originally adapted from another model entirely...
[Captivate General] erraz:
Im going to have to try this

Sent from my samsung captivation
[Captivate General] omanpushcar:
Okay, thank you. I will try it.
[Captivate General] omanpushcar:
hi joeybear, I did tried for a week with your solution for my Galaxy Ace. Here is what I got: when fully charged (even over night) - with the charger pluged in, it shown 100%, when unplug charger, it shown 99%. What did I doing wrong? my Galaxy Ace is unlock version (from Asia), do I need to ROOT it to make the battery show 100% when unplug? thanks.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
You need to be rooted to delete the batterystats.bin file.
[Captivate General] omanpushcar:
I know how to rooted the phone but don't know how to delete the batterystats.bin file, please tell me how, thanks.
[Captivate General] gsushitman:
Joeybear - thanks for this, it resolved my battery problem!
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
It's in the very first post in this thread.
[Captivate General] agv03:
Thank you alot!!!! Went from 10-12 hours to 20+ hours once I calibrated. I'm running MIUI
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Awesome. Glad I could help.
[Captivate General] cjd2404:
yea

I want to say thanks too I appreciate this it really helped my battery drain
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
You are welcome... and the best way to say thanks is to click on the thanks button. :D
[Captivate General] rpolito73:
I've done the steps of 100%>power down removing usb> pulling battery> connecting usb with auto power up about 20 times and can't get past 91-92% at boot up..... any suggestions? I even tried the delevopers setting to stay awake when charging btw. On cm7 nightly
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Wow, I haven't seen that before, at least not that low... How old is your battery? It is possible it can't get a better charge.
[Captivate General] raffaytarar:
My battery indicator has gone berserk, sometimes it increases the battery level on its own and that too happens even if i reboot the phone, just as I reboot there is no drop in battery level and after about 1 minute the battery level increases by 2-5%! and there is awful battery drain too which starts when battery level drops to 80%!

I'm a non-root user, will this method work right on my device keeping in view that I haven't rooted the phone? Thanks in advance!
[Captivate General] raffaytarar:
and please let me know how can I delete the batterystats.bin file since I'm not rooted, will clearing the cache do it for me?
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
I do not know of a way to delete your batterystats.bin without being rooted. Rooting the phone is what allows you to manipulate system files, and this is a system file.

What you can do is follow the whole process (without deleting the batterystats) and you should see some improvement in accuracy.

seriously? delsa, you above all people should realize how ugly that piece of crap UI is. windows is getting no where with this. only thing i got from reviews and videos is that it has amazing scrolling. in terms of looks, by far the ugliest UI i have seen in a while. it is just MORE of their stupid KIN phones. i know there are the rare people who are very backward and love very simple things because their brains cannot handle things like iphone and android os or just want to live in the old windows 95 and macintosh days....you can enjoy your box squares and cubicle fetishes ;).

So I just attempted to use the wired tethering through FroYo. I got an error 67. Is there a certain thing I am supposed to do to get wired tethering to work through stock FroYo?

Or, do I need to use something like PDANet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidlightle:
Well, there are several options. If you don't have root, PDANet, EasyTether, etc. are your best (only?) option and require installing a bit of software on the intended computer in addition to the phone; with root, you can additionally use apps like Wired Tether for root users, which should only need to install drivers on the computer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritzbrie:
Thanks. Well, now that 2.2 is rooted, I can just root and get the Wired Tether for root users.

Yeah, I did. A while ago.

I bought a class 6 sd with my phone. I'm using Android's native a2sd on froyo, not on an ext partition.
[Hero CDMA General] runngwlf:
You say your running the uncapped kernal, what freq are you running your cpu at? I had trouble with freezes and reboots on mine when I had the min freq set too low. It could be the opposite too, running it too high can cause lockups and reboots too.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I run it at 200 mhz screen off and 768 mhz screen on.
[Hero CDMA General] churro7:
try 691Mhz
[Hero CDMA General] runngwlf:
Some phones don't like being OC to 768, I would try moving it down to 691 and see if you have an improvement. Also, if your running app2sd and have issues with your card, it can cause reboots and bootloops. Do you have your Dalvik on the SD card or your phone, and are you using any memory management? Either programs or anything built into your kernel?

Hi,

I have blackberry connect successfully running on Touch HD. Thanks to all the talented members on this forum.

I can send and receive emails, no problem. But I cannot access internet using blackberry internet browser. I have tried to search all the threads on the forum and googled it, but so far no success. Somedays back, I was able to open email account management page through blackberry connect settings and log on to my account and delete/add emails. Even at that time, internet browsing through blackberry browser was not working. Now unfortunately, even account management is not working. I don't know what have I done during repeated rom flashing and installing BBC.

Under service list running on blackberry connect, I can see all my email accounts running with green checkmark. Also I can see 5 more services running with green checkmark in this order:

1. Blackberry Internet Browsing Service [BrowserConfig]

2. Browser Config for 5 Click [BrowserConfig]

3. IPPP for 5 Click [IPPP]

4. IPPP for BIBS [IPPP]

5. myemailaddress [CMIME]

6. myemailaddress [CMIME]

7. myemailaddress [CMIME]

8. myemailaddress [CMIME]

9. Provisioning [PROVISIONING]

I can no doubt use internet on my phone using multiple connections (orange hsdpa).

Any suggestion / help is appreciated.

I am using kwbr 6.5 rom 4.3.1sense, blackberry connect v4.0.0.106 and Orange UK payg.

Thanks

RANT ON:

While happily chugging along on some of the stuff that I hope to release to you all, I've made a very disturbing discovery, which makes me feel almost like the Big Man turning green. Angry. Pissed. Greatly disappointed!

First some background.

Everyone worth their 'droid knows about the Cease & Desist letter sent to Cyanogen.

Many of us know the same happened to Conflipper from Shipped ROMs.

Rumor has it the same happened to samsung-firmwares.com

Yet it appears there are still people around who like poking at the beehive (yes, killer bees!) that is the phone industry and their armies of lawyers. Things that are GUARANTEED to piss them off BigTime.

I'm not going to drop list of names here, I hope their conscience will speak to them on a quiet night or something.

The morale?

STOP CHARGING MONEY FOR THINGS THAT AREN'T YOURS TO SELL!

HELP PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY CAN ALREADY GET FOR FREE!

Besides being against the rules of most mod/tweak/hack forums out there, charging for someone else's stuff is probably the biggest reason for lawyers to go after websites hosting 'official', 'unofficial', 'leaked' etc. ROMs: lawyers merely have to google for "premium membership", "costs", "donations" etcetera.

Please people, stop doing this, or there will be a time when Samsung, Sony, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia and whoever else will simply pull the plug on online firmware updates and start telling people to take their phones to the shop for updating, eFuse and all. Needless to say, the vibe of the modding community will suffer with it.

I was the first (as far as I can tell) to post about Kies test mode, I'm willing to put time and effort in making a tool to allow people to update to and backup ANY firmware using just Kies (no need even for a registry hack), maybe even use Kies update module on non-Windows OSes (well, those that support Wine), help with developing Heimdall, fixing the FM radio, etcetera. Please allow others and me to go on doing this.

So:

- Don't steal others' work only to lock it up and start charging money for using it.

- Be honest and open about your discoveries.

- Be respectful of the services you use, don't hammer them needlessly.

...and the list goes on.

RANT OFF

What's this all about? No need to pay for firmware update requests, use Kies and one or two simple, free tools (coming soon) to get them. Less noise in the forums about the inner workings, which could attract angry lawyers from far away.

That's all.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
I thought samsung-firmwares.com got a cease and desist because of having Samsung in the name and make people assume they own and are responsible for the site...thats why Samsung-firmwares made a new site with a different name..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
Hmm, why mention Cyanogen's cease and desist letter in a post that has nothing to do with him whatsoever? It's not like Cyanogen was asking money for anything and the reason behind his C&D was entirely different.

As for Samsung-firmwares.com, they had it coming and got what they deserved (and obviously didn't get it at all, looking at their current activities...)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
True, he wasn't asking money. I added him to show that lawyers can be set off barking at anyone involved in hosting OR selling someone elses intellectual property. I should have been more clear about that.

As much as I think that IP is just imaginary property, I cherish the modding community and their great work too much. I'd hate to see the same happening to us.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
Hah! Just seen the new Samsung firmwares temporary page. This is just priceless. For those who don't understand Czech, they say there that everyone from Czech republic is blocked from the site and can't even register for their "premium services", because, apparently, "Czech people were spreading our firmwares illegally".

Edit: Sorry. As it was just explained to me by the owner of Samsung firmwares, the site on that URL has nothing to do with them anymore and apparently is someone's idea of a great joke...

[Touch Cruise Android Development] foxct2005:
Hi All.

Browsing the forum in the section for Kaiser, for Vogue and for Polaris ... i saw There's a lot of Release of Android for Pola100.

So ... my question is:

- Actually WHAT RELEASE offers the full functionality of our pola100?

I means: what release make my pola100 working on (almost) every function as:

- Camera (Photo e Video Recording)

- Video Playback without freeze

- GPS

- Wifi

- Connection with my Pc.

What differences in function between: Donut 1.6, Eclair 2.1 and Froyo 2.2 ?

I think that Froyo it's the best for performance, but not for compatibility with hardware, instead Eclair it's (almost) full working but less performing.

Is it true?

Thanks.
