[Cross posted at Nexus One General]

Since I got the Nexus One over a month ago, I've realized that its battery life is somewhat problematic. However, it lasted long enough to go about my day, especially considering that I always had a charger at my disposal.

I use it chiefly for listening to music, so I naturally brought it with me when I did the annual NYC Century Bike Tour. I wanted to record a GPS track of my ride (I rode the 100 mile path) but knew it would probably kill my battery really fast, so I used my G1 and RMap as my GPS device.

The Nexus One had NOTHING except for phone service (on EDGE), TouchDown (Exchange email push) and music (with Mixzing, recommendations off, equalizer on) on for the ride. The G1 only had its GPS radio on, nothing else. Both devices spent most of their time with the screen off.

The G1 was dead in about three hours. The Nexus One was dead in five. FIVE hours! Brand new device! That's not bad battery life; that's just unacceptable. My iPhone 3GS certainly lasted longer than that. Even my old Windows Mobile HTC Raphael outlasted the both of them!

What can I do about this? I'm willing to get a bigger battery at this point, but I don't want to buy one and realize that the OS is really at fault here (like I think it is).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] exadeci:
When I buyed my first android phone I tought that with gtalk always connected it will suck all my battery but I use my Galaxy S during all day with at least 1h30 of music by bluetooth and a lot

of net browsing, installing, modding and at the end of the day I still have battery to go out and charge it after. Oh and my phone has a bigger screen (more battery use) so you might have a battery issue or maybe you let wifi bluetooth and all hardware on during the day ....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lacrossev:
was background data / autosync on? That tends to kill my battery. Also,you should check your device's battery usage via different apps from settings > about phone > battery.

The percentages are not of the battery % but what percentage of the overall usage is taken up by what. You may be having a non-sleep issue with the N1 because of apps you have on it thats not on the G1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BodingisanAndroid:
Different processes

I could be wrong but the Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors in Android phones (N1, Incredible, Droid X, and Droid 2) are made with a 65nm process rather than a 45nm process like the Apple's A4 processor (iPhone) and Samsung's Hummingbird processor (all Galaxy series). Chips made with the 45nm process have lower power consumptions.

hi how r u every one

i want to buy htc phone and i like htc hd2 & htc hd mini

but my quation

is it possible to remove operating system (windows mobile) from both of them and replaced with android system?

and if it is possible >>>>can i return back to windows if i want ??

another quation

whats best hd2 or hd mini

thank you alot
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
If your real target is Android OS, might as well go for Aria, instead of HD mini. Aria is the exact twin of HD mini, in Android version.

As for HD2, go get EVO 4G instead. They're both the same bananas. Except for the different OS, and some minor modifications.
[General Questions and Answers] wowsersco:
Can anyone help me please?

Apologies if this is incorrectly posted but it is my very first post on any site.

I have an O2 XDA Orbit running Windows Mobile 5.0 (5.1.342 build 15096.3.0.0) and with SPB Mobile Shell (version 1.0.0 build 2632) and SPB Phone Suite (Version 1.0.0 Build 1179).

The problem I have s that the I cannot access the WIFI. It used to work fine but for a couple of weeks the WIFi button in Comms Manager WLAN screen has been greyed out with an “X” next to it and when pressed it goes to egg timer but after a few seconds just returns to the Comms Manager screen with the icon greyed out.

Also when going into WLAN settings and pressing “turn on Wireless LAN” nothing happens.

Thanks in anticpation.

Uh?? Well yeah, just buy the battery charger and not the battery.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
I think Soup is referring to the samsung spare battery charger that comes with the spare battery.

If so, you are not able to.... Not the one from samsung at least.

If you don't want the extra battery you can get the battery chargers by themselves for cheap on ebay...

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSeiler2010:
I had my Aria all decked out with CM6 and the overclock, but me being curious I wanted to see if I could restore this thing back to factory, you know, just to make sure I could do it in case of a hardware failure. Well now I cannot get Clockwork to install, I did the manual root and then installed ROM manager, when I try to restore a backup of my cm6 rom it never installs and goes to the factory revocery screen. What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
You replaced Clockwork with the factory recovery. You can't flash roms until you reinstall clockwork. You need to start all over again with unrevoked reflash.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSeiler2010:
Thats what is odd, I figured as much and I attempted it but for some strange reason the unrevoked reflash acts like it is working and it sits at waiting for reboot and never goes further. I have reformatted the sd card in my windows 7 machine and installed/uninstalled htc sync.

EDIT: Ok so i got home from work and decided to try uninstalling all drivers and reinstalling them again, still no go...so I put a new sd card in freshly formatted from my laptop...and it worked perfectly!!! So relieved!
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
HI!

I have been doing fine on my fav game and dont want to lose the data when I do the back up restore...do you think I can back up that game only using Titanium then restore it back after the full restore?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] gudda1:
my phone has been doing some strange **** lately.. It randomly reboots and or freezes. I've tried wiping and reflashing with a different ROM but to no avail. It's been getting stuck on the white evo screen lately. If i'm lucky enough it will boot to the OS but will freeze or reboot after a while..

..Is there something I can do that will brick the phone so I can return it to Sprint? I keep getting the Cyanogen Mod boot screen and obviously I can't take it back to Sprint with that on the display..

any help is appreciated, thanks

So you flashed it and now you want to take it back because you messed it up?

(Just flash a custom rom, and pull the battery halfway..that should do it)

Put it in the microwave on defrost for a minute. Whatever you do, don't pull the plug or else your phone will be un-brickable.
[EVO 4G General] awrnsmn:
BAN! Tired of people screwing up their phones and then committing fraud. Why don't you man up and admit you screw up instead of taking advantage of Sprint and the insurance? This is why we end up paying so much for stuff.
[EVO 4G General] GrooGrux:
Agreed

I agree! If you are trying to root, you are taking a risk.

On another note, can't you just run RUU on it?
[EVO 4G General] horiveira:
I think we'd end up paying so much for stuff regardless...
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Not to mention there's nothing wrong with his phone.

Bricking his phone would be a waste of his time and a perfectly good phone.

Chalk it up to another case of someone not reading and understanding what they are about to do before they do it :(

Why are people so allergic to reading?

OP, run the pc36img.zip from toast's rooting guide part 2, then wait for your phone to prompt you to accept the 1.47 update and accept it. You'll be back to stock with no reason to damage a perfectly good phone.
[EVO 4G General] gudda1:
I didnt break it? I flashed this thing 2 months ago.. it has worked flawlessly until I seen I had a voicemail update.. I went to do that, it failed.. things seemed to work fine so I charged it over night.. woke up and its been hell ever since.

Its not like I was modding the thing and it broke on me. The phone was working fine for 2 months. Don't come at me with some bull**** ass remark like that. I have no problem paying the insurance claim, but regardless -- its been rooted thus insurance isn't going to do **** for me.

EDIT: I stand corrected on the insurance claim -- was not aware of that
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
OP, lose the attitude before this turns into another "WTF WIFI" or "is CM6 overrated" thread.

If your problems started when you tried to update your voicemail then how about you try rolling your vvm app back or uninstall and reinstall it?

Also, rooting voids your warranty.. not your insurance. You have the option of paying $100 to swap it for a new one..
[EVO 4G General] gudda1:
I'll have to try this out.. I've tried multiple ROM's and it still does it. I'm beginning to think its a possible hardware issue.

Why would 3 different rom's cause random reboots, freezes, and other quirkiness
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Because you are experimenting with your phone. These roms are voluntary efforts by people who do this as a hobby. Expect things to go wrong and expect to have to do some troubleshooting, it's just part of the game.
[EVO 4G General] gudda1:
was not aware of the warranty/insurance differences. thanks for the info

is the voicemail app apart of individual rom's or is it on the phone itself? (im sure that was worded terribly, but hopefully you'll understand) ... I've tried 3 different ROM's and they all reboot or freeze sporadically. (fresh 3.1.0.2, a nandroid of a previous 3.1.0.1, and CM6) The phone even froze twice in the middle of a ROM flash.
[EVO 4G General] jjcd51590:
Accually Id like to know also my Evo's usb port is FUBARed, light bleed, hotspots on the LCD, and power button crack you name it I got it. I have Best Buy insurance so not sure how its gonna go. I thought about just running it over and taking it in in a ziplock but i really dont wanna wait up to a month for a replacement.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Unroot back to stock, dont add any apps for a day, if the problem still occurs its obviously a hardware issue. Take it in for a replacement.
[EVO 4G General] gudda1:
thats what its looking like..
[EVO 4G General] drksilenc:
is there any other way to root other than unrevoked. i have tried this and it just wont root my evo. it recognises it just fine reboots just fine but it fails every time. it did this even when i rolled my evo back to 2.1 and tried it
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
If you're rooting 2.2 I would use regaw's method and then simple root instead of unrevoked. Did this last week on a friend's EVO and it worked perfect. You'll lose your 1.40 pri with this method though.

Is there a way to create folders in my gallery to organize all the pics that I have?

I have tried to create using ASTRO folders in DCIM \ Camera and and I have added some photos but when I open Gallery from my phone I can only see Camera Shots and All photos. I tried to move the folders in DCIM direcly same result.

Is there a way to do this?

And also in DCIM I see all new videos and phots are stored in 100MEDIA but I have a Camera folder, what is this Camera folder used for?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpinho:
You need to remount your SD card for your phone to see the new folders (or reboot). Try SD Mount or Reload SD from the market. Everytime you add new photos or new folders, remount your card, and your gallery should show the photos and folders. Personally, I create folders inside the media/pictures folder on my SD card, which works fine for me. Hope this helps :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparker366:
Ok seems that I have accumulated some issues with my phone right now with apps not being able to launch and sl4a fc when I try to run it.

What stuff should I save off and best way to do that as I am going to flash back to jf6 but do a master clear first. Then I am going to put jh7 back on then SRE 1.3e.

I am going to reinstall everything fresh not tb backups or anything so there is no possibility of messing any settings up.

I am then going to do a nandroid of this so that I can recover if I screw the pooch again with stuff.

Now my TB question. What is the best way to backup with that. Apps or Apps+system data. I just want to make sure that when I do an SRE update and use TB to restore I don't mess anything up with SRE

Also if anyone has any other tips along these lines feel free to inform me of them
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Dude!!! Punctuation. It why we go to school, so we learn to communicate.

Kidding aside(no srsly ;)) just back up the regular apps not the system apps as restoring system apps from and to different roms can cause major fc problems.

I'm having an issue that I'm sure is easy to fix but I can't figure it out.

I tried to set up a network manually a while ago and it failed and now when I turn on my wifi from the settings menu I get:

"Turning on..." (next to the toggle)

Then an error message at the bottom of screen:

"Unable to save the network"

"Turning off" (next to the toggle)

Anyone know the fix to this?

[Vibrant General] merophosis:
I posted replies to the thread below and one other thread (which I can't find right now). I had the same issue and it was caused by Allshare. search for my replies in the thread I replied to. Long story cut short, I had to go back and forth between Allshare and turning wifi on/off and it magically fixed itself.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748231
[Vibrant General] hockeyrcks9901:
Okay, I figured out my problem and it wasn't Allshare (I've never used it and tried the fix mentioned above). I'm not sure if it is a Vibrant issue or an Android issue.

I'll list what I did and the solution:

I was trying to connect to a network with a hidden SSID and apparently I typed something wrong so it would not connect. It then must have gotten forced into some kind of loop attempting to connect to that "bad" network. Every time I enabled the Wifi it went through a loop of:

"Turning on..."

"Unable to save the network"

"Unable to scan networks"

"Turning off..."

The fix was to go to "/data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf" with Root Explorer and edit the file to remove the information on the "bad" network. I copied some of the file below that shows what the file looked like before and after.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/misc/wifi GROUP=wifi
update_config_1
device_name=Wireless Client
manufacturer=Samsung Electronics
device_type=1-0050F204-1

network={
ssid="tmobile"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
}

network={
ssid="tmobile1x"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
}

network={
ssid="Belkin.3844"
psk="84316318"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwide=CCMP
auth_alg-OPEN
}

network={
ssid=" UCF_WPA2"
scan_ssid=1
}

and the fixed code was to just remove the information about the "UCF_WPA2" network.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/misc/wifi GROUP=wifi
update_config_1
device_name=Wireless Client
manufacturer=Samsung Electronics
device_type=1-0050F204-1

network={
ssid="tmobile"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
}

network={
ssid="tmobile1x"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
}

network={
ssid="Belkin.3844"
psk="84316318"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwide=CCMP
auth_alg-OPEN
}

I can now turn Wifi on and off at will and I have no further issues.
[Vibrant General] merophosis:
Ah. That's definitely some good information! I have noticed some sort of pattern with Allshare and media sharing applications where this happens, not sure why though. This definitely helps a lot though, now we know where to go to remove the entries.
[Vibrant General] hockeyrcks9901:
Yep, I had some other network information in there but I didn't post it for security reasons (work SSID and password). But I bet you could remove everything but the t-mobile IDs and it would fix any issues. I just removed the one network that I knew was causing issues. I think it was the space in the SSID field that was causing my issues.
[Vibrant General] Woolaroc:
Is it possible to do this fix without rooting?
[Vibrant General] merophosis:
I don't think so. Unless you tried the other way of attempting to connect and disconnect (if it's Allshare or media-sharing app related) then this is definitely the route to go.

Then again, rooting the Vibrant is REALLY easy and you can always unroot for whatever reason.
