[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
same hboot,radio and slcd and i was able to root using unrevoked 3.21
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duryard:
Tried unrevoked 3.21 (4 - 5 times) and it would not root it. Spoke to guys on irc and they dont know why it did not work.

Wondering if I should go down the downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 then root then use a custom rom back to 2.2. I want to try the cyanogen rom really.

OH and thanks guys
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
What happens (or not) when you try?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duryard:
Bascially it says its doing it but it aint.

Waiting for boot when its already rebooted.

Pushing recovery when its not.

connect device.

:(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdo:
Any success yet?

Did you buy yours with this version of Hboot or was it upgraded via OTA? when?

a couple of mates have same problem can't root 0.93.0001
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duryard:
Yeah all sorted now thanks. Followed the "how to" at the unlocker

Rooted with unrevoked

Rom manager failed to flash 2 or 3 different roms so I flashed with Leedroid 2.2f using clockwork.

reports that you can flash cyanogen rom with amom ra bit not tried that way yet.

Happy with leedroid for now any way.

I had to send my .80 boot back to HTC for repair (GPS problem) and it came back with a new mobo and software.

You can root if you follow the correct "How to" some miss a few things out :)

Unrevoked3 on Windows 7 hanging with "Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work). Any workarround for this issue?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BashyUK:
Just rooted mine last night, no problems.

Am on T-Mobile UK, HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio etc all same as yours, all latest s/w from TMUK as I had just received it back from repair recently.

My steps:

Used Unrevoked 3.22.

Download htc sync, install, then uninstall the sync application, leaving the drivers on. Didn't need to mess with hboot drivers in my case.

Attached device, connected in disk drive mode with usb debugging enabled.

Ran Unrevoked.

That was it.

My PC runs Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swcom:
I follow the same steps still same hanging with "Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work). My ROM is:RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC__ARA_2.32.415.3_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157343_signed.exe

Follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788044

Basically these the steps:

1. Install htc synch

2. Unistall htc synch, but leave the drivers installed

3. Install hboot drivers

4. Set debug mode on ur phone (set charge only and "remember this")

5. Launch unrevoked (it should say waiting for device)

6. Plug the device to the usb cable when its is ON (eg. home screen )

7. few reboot and its done.

If doesn't work u are missing something..

Given up and now using Facebook widget and ditched Timescape til I see on one of the forums that its sorted. Got a twitter app and not worried about calls/sms/pics for time being. Shame, its one of the things I liked about phone altho picture quality on it was pretty rubbish.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkakarotto:
Same thing happened to me. I even re-installed the OS through SEUS because I thought that it was me that I messed with something. Now Facebook is not refreshing, telling me that the latest update was from 30 hours ago, and I can't log into twitter because it keeps telling me that either my username or password are wrong... tried them on twitter.com and I have them right... so wtf?

I just went to the browser and typed www.facebook.com.

It redirected to the touch site which ow and behold is 12 hours behind. My assumption is this be our trouble causer....

Right okay so my facebook just alerted me that I have a no friend request and it appeared on Timescape also but still no status's what the hell is going on :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbadone:
I think Timescape gets the update from facebook touch site, cause every time you click on the panel it takes you to the touch site.

If there is a delay with touch site updates, looks like Timescape got affected

If you are still experiencing problems with Timescape then we would suggest following the below steps to remove your Facebook Account.

1. Pull up the menu

2. Select Settings

3. Online Service Accounts

4. Tap on Facebook

5. Select Delete Account

6. Restart your handset

7. Follow the above steps to setup your Facebook Account.

[Captivate General] joeybear23:
***

Due to further information from both the hardware and OS side of the house, it has been determined that this process is completely unnecessary for the Captivate.

You may still follow this procedure if you like or if it makes you feel good.

Good luck and God bless.

***

So, you are having trouble with your battery seemingly draining too quickly, especially after having flashed many ROMs/Kernels/etc...

It is possible that the problem (or part of the problem) is not necessarily the phone using too much power, but rather the phone not really knowing how much power you have left, or where 100% or 0% really are. If this is the case for you, you should see some results from doing the following:

(Do at your own risk. If your phone runs away and joins the circus I am not responsible)

1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%

2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).

4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.

5. Use the phone as normal until it shuts off, then plug it in, turn it on and use as normal, charging whenever you like.

You should only need to use this sequence one time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting this, I remembered seeing it in another topic but I couldnt find it anywhere.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Yeah, I had it in a text file on my computer from a little while back, and was going to bump the topic but I couldn't find it anymore.

This may have to be done again after ROMs and stuff, so either bookmark this post, or copy-paste it into a document on your computer you can refer back to later.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Also, this give creedence to the age-old, often-debated theory that you should give your battery a full charge before turning on your phone for the first time...
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
It makes me sick when we have to do all this crap.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Sorry, it's a price we pay for messing with the software/firmware on the phone.

Also, if people did an actual full charge before using their phone for the first time, there would probably be fewer "Battery Life Sucks" threads...
[Captivate General] sfernandez:
Dont forget to boot into recovery after you full charged (adb reboot recovery or Power off the phone and then hold the volume up + Volume down + the power key. When it goes black the 2nd time release the power button and keep holding the volume buttons.) wipe stats Clockworkmod recovery -> advanced -> wipe battery stats.
[Captivate General] roadrash7:
Question for ya's.when I got this phone the att dude just turned it on and gave it to me without allowing for a full charge.should I go back slap him in the face and get a new battery and fully charge it before first use, cause its almost been two weeks and my batt life still seems kinda poor to me.

Also if I do that should I unroot and restore the att apps or will they not notice or bother to check that
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Recalibrating may help slightly, but the Captivate just has a ****ty battery life. Read here, it was the worst in the entire test. No coincidence, the S-AMOLED's came in last in battery life and the S-LCD's came in first.

http://androidheadlines.com/2010/08/android-phones-battery-tests-are-in-and-we-have-a-winner.html
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Without any details of how that test was performed, the results are meaningless.

I get battery life as good as my old iphone with the captivate. I wish it was better but it seems very competitive to me.
[Captivate General] dougp.me:
Something doesn't make sense since the Epic 4G has better battery life than the Captivate. Me thinks they didn't test these properly.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I can't even come close to the same battery life on this captivate as I did with my old iphone. I have to charge this phone every single night, where with my iphone I only had to charge it 2 or 3 times per week. I take it off charge every morning and by 10pm its down to around 20%. My old iphone I could go 2-3 days, and I do the same things on both phones. Checking facebook and twitter, playing a little bit of kingdoms live, a little websurfing, and checking emails, as they come in.

Same usage and 1/2 to 1/3 of the same battery life. Not so good.

Also, you cant say the test was meaningless because they dont tell you how they tested it. As long as they ran the same test on all the phones then a direct comparison of battery life is very legitimate and meaningful. But I agree, I would like to know what their testing methods are.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
By old iPhone, do you mean 1st gen EDGE only iPhone? If that's the case, you can disable 3G on Captivate and get similar battery life.
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
If you go to the actual Laptop magazine post it explains

The test itself is fairly simple. Avram, our tireless Web director, modified the LAPTOP Battery Test we use for notebooks, and created an Android App that does much the same thing: It opens the phone’s Web browser to one of 60 popular Web sites, remains there for 60 seconds, closes the browser, then reopens the browser to next Web site on the list. It does so until the phone’s battery dies, all while recording the time elapsed.

Here’s how we set up the phones before we tested them:

First, we download My Settings and Advanced Task Killer, two free apps that are useful regardless.

Then, we open My Settings, and do the following:

Turn screen brightness to 40%, and turn off auto brightness.

Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS location, cell location, and auto sync.

Deactivate screen timeout; that is, make sure the screen stays on indefinitely.

In the Web browser, we turn off Flash support and plug-ins.

We placed the phone in an area that was receiving at least 4 bars of service.

http://blog.laptopmag.com/android-battery-test-reveals-droid-x-lasts-longest-amoled-handsets-trail

Sounds about right to me although I dont think I could get 4.43 hours web. Most screen usaged I have gotten is up in the 3hour range.
[Captivate General] darkamikaze:
I've done this on my captivate.. and I think it made it a little worse..

to be honest.. just leave it be and charge when you can.. lol hope for the best!

maybe other people will have better luck.. :(
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Many people also seem to have success with fully discharging their battery before charging it again for the first 2-3 times. Seems the battery learns its 'boundaries'. Many are reporting 20-30 hours after that with moderate usage.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I think that turning all of the screens to 40% brightness invalidates the results. To equal the playing field, the screens should be set to equal luminance.
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
My battery meter has been flashing 0 for 10 minutes now. Should I be worried? Should I return my phone? True story.
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
Still here. Battery hasn't died.
[Captivate General] raffaytarar:
Thanx alot for sharing! One more question here: What if I flash a Rom at 100% battery with repartition and wipinng/reseting all my data, will that be good enough to create a new batterystats file and give me accurate results after that?
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Installing a new ROM should replace the battery stats file, but I do not know if out would be a clean one, do you will need to go through the process.
[Captivate General] raffaytarar:
Fine thank you! Will go through the process! But sorry I do have one more query: I feel like I have high battery temperatures, they are 35 on idle, 40,42 while using and 46-50 while gaming. Are these normal or a matter of concern?
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Those do seem high, but I am no battery temperature expert. Maybe someone else will chime in...
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
I updated the OP

since CM7 allows you to charge while it is turned off now, there is no need for separate instructions.

[Captivate General] musicalmindz:
So I followed the steps exactly and after the 2nd to last step where I let it drain all the way till it turns off (I even turned it back on when it turned off to make sure it was really 0%) the instant I plugged it in my battery said it was up to 37% charge.

Am I supposed to let it charge again fully while the phone is off before turning it on??

Excited to see if this helps, thanks!
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
If it goes immediately to 37%, I would unplug and let it drain until it turns off again then continue with the rest of the procedure.
[Captivate General] musicalmindz:
Ok, will do! I may have to do this a few times I guess till it really figures out what 0% is.

[Captivate General] liquidzyklon:
Thanks for the instructions. I didn't notice too much difference from before and after so I guess my battery stats was already calibrated.
[Captivate General] grandmastem:
------

I think what he is trying to say is exactly what I see... If I have the phone charge to 100%, then once I unplug the phone from my charger, it IMMEDIATELY drops by 1% to 99%. Will the phone ever stay or show 100% for more than a second once unplugged from the chargers?
[Captivate General] wtfuxitsalex:
I always have my brightness at the lowest. Should I turn it to max so the battery drains faster while I recalibrate it?
[Captivate General] emcnelly:
It doesn't matter how quickly it drains to 0% just that you let it die after this procedure.
[Captivate General] jordanpatrick:
Great tips on calibrating the battery stats from the OP. I gained around 10-15% of my battery "back" after flashing multiple ROMs and using my phone for quite a while.
[Captivate General] ruagun:
nice guide
[Captivate General] j8994:
I loose 1% every five minutes. All im doing is looking at yahoo. No other apps running. Just using 3g. Brightness o lowest setting. Running fusion x. Is that normal? i have already followed the OP.
[Captivate General] durangatang:
I had that problem a few times, it happened to be a program running in the background that was killing the battery. Get titanium backup and freeze apps that you think may be the culprit and that should help.

Rom: Apex 9.3

Kernel: TalonDEV 0.5.1

No OC/UV

Model: Rogers Captivate I896
[Captivate General] Jcar1:
Thank you for the great guide. I am trying this out on my HTC Amaze and have a question. I am on step 3; however I cannot check battery percentage while the phone is off. The amber light does come on but it hasn't changed and has been plugged in for 3 hours. I have tried searching for charging the Amaze while the phone is off without any luck. I am assuming the light will turn green when it's charged just like when the phone is on but 3 hours seems excessive considering it was at 100% before turning it off, is this normal?

Edit: I unplugged the charger and turned it on, battery was at 79%. It almost at if charging it while off drained the battery. Any suggestions?
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Unfortunately I do not know anything about HTC hardware.... Sorry

Warning: Created with Swype
[Captivate General] Jcar1:
No worries, thanks anyway. I tried a few different methods without any luck. no matter what I tried, every time I get to 100% and reboot, it is never at 100% upon startup. It's anywhere from 94-97% and it will take a good hour to get to 100% again. I don't know if it's an issue with my ROM or my battery. After trying 5 times, on the last 100% charge, I erased the batterystats.bin, rebooted the phone and it started up at 94%. I will use the phone till it dies and charge it again. Hopefully that does the trick.
