[Epic 4G General] vanstrien:
That happened to my wife's phone. I wish I hadn't teased her for not knowing how to charge a phone, as I had to eat my words.

I took the phone back to RS and they swapped out the battery. (my choice. She had a bad back button before.)

Before she gets her hands on the phone again I'm going to put it through the HTC Evo 'balancing charge' (where you plug it in and then unplug it 10 times) and at the next charge I'm going to do what HTC recommended for getting the max charge (it was in some letter, where they charge, unplug, charge, etc but less than the balancing charge) If it can't hold a charge with normal use after that we'll return it.

I get the feeling that most of these phones need a week or two to settle down. My Evo gets 30-48 hours out of a charge these days, even though it only got about 8 hours when I first got it.
[Epic 4G General] vactor:
the battery on mine is really bad. i am gonna take it back before the end of the 30 day trial. juicedefender on, 4g off, wifi off, polling once every three hours, advanced task killer installed, screen set to dimmest. with just texting and about an hours worth of phone calls i get about 6-8 hours. not worth having. i need a phone that gives me at least 18 hours of normal use. pathetic :(
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Crap. Nothing running.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Honestly I think there is a bug. The phone reports that it has full battery while my other battery monitoring apps always report about 96%. And when it does manage to get to 100% it drop to 96% the moment it is unplugged.

And not only that, it stop charging when it thinks its down and continues to lose power when plugged in.

This is honestly the biggest bug/flaw I know of with this phone
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
I got 12 hours last night, with 15% left when I put it in the charger.

I played with it for about 2 hours yesterday, and made a few calls.. Not bad IMO.

Just a note, I used wifi for most of the day for the data end of things..

Basically here is my configuration

1) Juice defender - disable wifi when screen goes out, or when I'm far away from my access points

2) GPS is on, 4G and bluetooth disabled

3) Brightness all the way down when indoors (most of the day) with a black background.

4) Roadsync email w/ activesync push running all day with a sound only notification (vibration off)

5) Haptic feedback and vibration is off (this does eat battery)

6) No automatic task killers, or anything of the sort (this drained battery for me)

7) Not sure if it matters, but I kill the DRM task when I start up (I don't like DRM)

8) Using launcher pro instead of touchwiz

9) Under sync settings, I've turned off auto-sync, but have allowed background data.

10) Did not root.

All I have running in task manager right now is

com.samsung.internal

Google Voice

Juice Defender

Logs Provider

Lookout

Roadsync

SNS

Swype

VoiceMail

System Panel lite (what I'm using to view tasks)

Everything else is cached.

I'm pretty sure I could do a bit better with my battery if I disabled the data services when the phone was off.. but being in IT I need to get up to the minute email service.

[HD2 General] bchliu:
Wondering if anyone can help..

Testing the Telstra Next-G HTC HD2 (default ROM, 1.72.841.0 WWE) at the moment and have tried to set up Activesync to download my Exchange Emails/Contacts/Calendar. I have set this up accordingly and when on the cellular/mobile network, it does only downloads the contacts but nothing else. Activesync reports an error of 0x80072EE2. Once I attach it to my WIFI however, all my emails and calendars come through.

What I have done so far:

Tried all the settings within Activesync - to only download emails or calendar items and no good.

Tried resetting the APN information, but the default Telstra one is locked. Added new one (telstra.internet and telstra.wap) and tried again with these settings but still no good.

I know the Cellular Data is working fine as IE and Opera are both working without any issues. Its just ^$(& Activesync that is causing me heartache!

Please help!
[HD2 General] bchliu:
Bump? Anyone? Please help?
[HD2 General] cag64m:
Did this ever get resolved?

I have the same issue on a new HTC HD2 on the Telstra network. Did you find a resolution?
[Vibrant General] ags29:
This is the single most annoying thing because it seems like something so simple that was overlooked. Ant fix for this?
[Vibrant General] trevorwhopkins:
Yes. Swap your camera out with the camera from the Captivate. Its better organized anyways, and it makes a new folder for the camera that puts them in the right order.

I'm pretty sure anyways, bc I did that and later noticed a new folder, and I didn't do anything else.
[Vibrant General] ags29:
I looked at that thread for that but it sounded like it required rooting :/ I'm unrooted.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Not true, I have captivate camera and there still weird.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ actually, it is true. You're probably just looking at the old folders from the Vibrant camera, and it is in the right order. MUCH BETTER JOB on the Captivate.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Is there any way to check why you Dell Streak randomly reboots or shuts down. Sort of like a log of why the phone crashed. Just like you would check on a PC when its shuts down. The reason I ask is because my phone shut down on me and would not start back up until I removed the battery and placed it back then it turned on. I would like to know if an app caused this or something else. Please help
[Streak 5 General] AuirR:
Did you do anything? 1.6 or 2.1 ?
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
No did nothing. The only app I added that day was streak vibrations. It stopped the vibrating of the back,home and menu buttons. I uninstalled since the power down yesterday.

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 General] AuirR:
I think you could install 2.1 to see what will happen if you want.
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
check your back plate. if the back plate is not securely put in place the phone will randomly reboot. you have to be very forceful when applying pressure to the backplate to make sure it fixs correctly
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
flumps is right, it's happened to me too, though the back plate doesn't have to be loose, if it flexes enough to break a contact for a moment I think that can do it.

The one time it happened to me the Streak had been in my pocket for a while (in it's leather case but still being joggled a lot) and would not switch on, I had to remove the battery to clear it.
[Streak 5 General] simplydata:
My phone acts same way.

My phone was on a table when I suddenly saw button lights came on. I thought I had a phone call. Instead, I saw Dell logo and it started up. I have 1.6 and not rooted.

::eek:
[Streak 5 General] fards:
you can logcat it theres alogcat in the market place that will read logs. (but tends to crash for me far too often)

[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I run Shehrams Rom 1.00 WWE. It's the 2.13 ROM with the 2.10 touch drivers so it's not laggy. Runs smooth and awesome... Might want to bight the bullet and get you a good micro SD card too because a lot of the lagginess with the HD2 is that class 2 card that comes with the phone. I got a class 4 and it works great, but only because I went to a bunch of stores and couldn't find a 16 class 6. Get you a 16 class 6 or higher.
[HD2 General] LiL xSOULJAx:
what do i look for on the micro sd card to know its a 16 class 6 card?
[HD2 General] Paten:
It will have 16gb marked on it... and a 6... in a circle. And MicroSDHC. Do you want me to do the google search for you or can you try it yourself?:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
It will have a number in a circle... See the 2 in this image below? That means it's a class 2. They make 16's up to class 10 I think... 6 is all you need. 10's are pricey. Even a 6 is still kinda pricey. My class 4 was 30 bucks I think.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I think the 10's are coming from a company that marks them as class 10's but there is no such thing. Just another way to sucker people into buying them.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I believe it. I went with Kingston for my class 4. Works a lot better than the class 2 Samsung that came with the phone...

[HD2 General] mazdaug:
Whats the difference between them?
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Between the class of cards?

The write speed. As the classes get higher the computer can write data on the cards faster (faster file transfers). No more waiting forever to copy a movie or music onto the card.

hopefully this is the right section....

Hey xda, ive been have trouble with my rooted froyo eris. im not receiving text messages at all from anyone, even when i know they just texted me. i know this problem isnt related to the rom or froyo itself, as ive tried both tazz's rom and kaos's. plus i havent had this problem on froyo before. any ideas?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
You probably do not have the correct APN files anymore. These let your phone know which towers to connect to. You may have used a ROM that was based on a ROM from another carrier (like Sprint). Try this:

1. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.

2. Download a ROM with the correct APN files, like Plain Jane (basically a stock ROM with root). One version of Plain Jane can be found here:

hxxp://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718092/ ( I don't think I can post links yet so change hxxp to http)

3. Do a full data wipe in recovery and then install the Plain Jane ROM.

4. Reboot into the new ROM.

5. Make sure 3G and Sync is on and you should get all your missed text messages, once everything is finished syncing.

6. On the market, grab the app "APN Backup & Restore".

7. Run APN Backup & Restore and bachup your APNs. The app will create a folder on you SD card with the APN files. Hold on to those files and if you wipe your SD, make sure you back them up somewhere.

8. Then you can restore to your nandroid backup or load any other ROM. The just run "APN Backup & Restore" and restore you APNs.

I hope this helps you.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreed75:
Instead of going through the trouble of nand backup, flashing a generic ROM, etc., just stay with your current ROM, download APN Backup and Restore from the market and paste the following XML into a text editor like notepad, name the file original-apns.xml and put it in /sdcard/ApnBackupRestore/. Run APN Backup and Restore from the phone and restore the apn from there.

My back button on the front capacitive screen won't respond the first time, I have to keep on hitting it until it registers. Anyone else have this issue?

I did some research and found out that the Vibrant was having the same issue with their home button.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Those buttons are my biggest gripe with the phone. You have to REALLY FREAKIN press on them. On the Evo, you just need to touch them lightly. I really love the bottom buttons on the evo. With the epic, touching them doesn't work. You need to press. Sometimes more than once. I also end up accidentally long pressing just to get it to work sometimes.

Samsung needs to learn from HTC and fix their buttons.
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
N1s capactive buttons suck too, its HTC.

yea the ones that work are awesome... but the back button is unusable at all on 2 of mine so gotta get them replaced. Hopefully they still have a few left.
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
Yeah I noticed that too, it is inconsistent sometimes with almost all of them.

Sometimes you lightly tap it and it goes and than other times you will do it 3-4 times before it goes.
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
anyway to set the bottom buttons (back, home etc..) to be lid longer time?
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
Possible Solution: I do not have mine yet, but this is what I noticed from watching the reviews. If the lights are OFF on the buttons you need to press them more than once. If the lights are ON they will be responsive.

The light timer is linked to the keyboard backlight timer. Increase the keyboard timer(in settings) and the buttons will stay on longer as well, 30 seconds should be a good setting.

Again, I do not have my phone yet. Can someone with the issue please confirm this is a proper solution?

"Increase the keyboard timer(in settings) and the buttons will stay on longer as well, 30 seconds should be a good setting."

Back Button Issue

Got my Epic on 8/31 at about noon. I spent about 4 hours setting it up and did not even try making a call (except for one very short call). While working on the setup I noticed I had to hit the back button anywhere from 3 to 5 times and sometimes I really had to press hard.

Once I starting making calls with it I noticed that it had a lot of static and each call made it worse. Took it back to Sprint and got a new one. The new phone has NO issues with the back key!

Makes it seem like a hardware issue.

[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Unfortunately most people having this problem are having it when the lights are on. A lot of people have returned their epics already due to the buttons on the bottom.... :(
[Epic 4G General] vooman:
I am having the same problem with the keys, they all need to be a lot more responsive. The back key is the worse.. Sometimes I have to press it 10 times for it to work.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I find that when i stop for a second and then press it good and hard, it works. I don't like that... but it never completely fails on me.

I hope they fan fix it so that you just need to slide your finger over it to make it work. That's how the Evo is. I think everyone would prefer that.
[Epic 4G General] javahead76:
Add me to the count

I had the same problem. 3 buttons work great. the back button only responds to harder press. returned the phone. got one with the same issue but it wasn't quite as bad. The display model at the store I got it from had no issues at all with this. The first phone I had, you really had to hit the exact spot hard and several times. by the end of the day but before I returned the first phone, the problem was not as bad but was still there. don't know if I am going to return it again or not.

update: the problem seems to have fixed itself on the second phone. I'll post back if that turns out to not be the case. As of now, it works just as good as the rest of the buttons.
[Epic 4G General] vooman:
Sprint was doing a promo here at work today and a district manager as here. I told him about my buttton issue and he confirmed some of the first batches of epics have the issue and to get mine replaced.. Seems to be a manufacturing issue, just a fyi.

Apparently I lucked out.

My back button is equally responsive as my home button. Very light touch triggers either.
[Epic 4G General] tatoniss:
Thats odd, my back button works fine but my home button has trouble picking up touches.
[Epic 4G General] Psosmith82:
Remember people, this is still a brand new phone, and as with almost all new phones, there will be initial bugs. Samsung will probably issue a patch to fix the responsiveness of the buttons. There issuing a patch this month for the GPS issues on the other Galaxy S phones, which are having the same issue with some of the touch buttons, maybe it will be fixed with that. Look at everything that had to be fixed with the evo when it came out

WIFI

Battery Life

Sync issue

Unresponsive touch screen (Thought to be a bad grounded screen, still fixed with a SOFTWARE patch!)

All fixed with a eventual software patch. I think some of you may be jumping the gun a little bit. Unless the buttons dont work at all, i wouldnt bother replacing it. You'll probably just get another one with the same issue.

Also, This phone just came out yesterday, so were all on the "initial batch" so that sprint rep was just talking out his ass. There is no "second batch" out. The phone was just released 1 day ago! Sprint Reps were saying the same thing about the evo when it was released with all the problems
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
I went to a store today to try this out for myself.. I was ready to purchase it... but this was a deal breaker. I chose not to buy it. On the phone I was trying, it was 1 out of 4 touches actually responded. The home screen also had problems.

I disagree with the previous poster. Return your phone if this isn't working.. If some phones are working, and some aren't, this may be a physical issues with the phone.

The fastest way to get a company to fix an issue is to return your product because of it.

I feel this particular issue is unacceptable. Your primary buttons should work. ALWAYS. How this got past QC is beyond me.

If they can fix this with a firmware update, great.. but I'm not going to risk $250 and getting stuck with a damaged phone.
