[Vibrant Android Development] alphadog00:
Additionally, charging a battery without destroying it, or causing degradation is a science too. You can't just dump as much current as you want into a battery - you have to take into account heat and internal resistance of the battery. Samsung is using the phone's circuitry as the smart part of the battery charger, and they have imposed some sort of upper limit on current. Hot batteries charge slower (if using a smart charger), so it doesn't matter about the amperage of a charger if the battery is hot. If you are doing GPS, Maps, BT and other things in your car, your battery will get hot and charging (even a wall charger) may not keep up with discharge.

The widget is reporting a number in a file - it is not reporting mA - we know this for 2 reasons:

1. someone has measured actual current with Ammeter and posted it along with file values

2. a charger can't put out more current then it is rated for (well maybe one could but not all)

There is still value in buying a 1A charger as most other car chargers just put out the USB amount of 0.5A
[Vibrant Android Development] djnutz:
I've been doing some reading on this and can't seem to find the proc in sys for current_now...which shows battery drain in mah or micro amps (which ever it reads). That's how the Nexus version of Current Widget shows charge, draw, or a net gain. I'm assuming this is because of the Vibrant Kernel?

I'm trying to take the charge and deduct the current draw to see what my net gain or loss is charging (or discharging). I have gps, bluetooth, display and media going all the time while driving.

If I can't figure it out I'm going to take an AC/DC converter, plug that into the cigarette lighter and just directly wire it to the battery *poof*.

weird

Hello

First of all, im sorry if this is not the right thread - please correct me if im in the wrong place?

This is my first post on XDA.

I must say I love this forum, since I just got my first android, HTC legend.

I have no problems with the batterylife on this phone, but it seems like "somthing" is wrong!!??

I have tried the currentwidget and have logged usage (1 minut interval) for a couple og hours. I have logged both mah and apps running. Most of the times it says that im using 90-100 mah when the phone is on standby. It has been down to 12 mah only a few times.

Due to this, im now charging via usb at work, and this is where my problem is. The phone is NOT charge... well i guess its charging, because the orange led is on, the icon is flashing green etc. BUT it keeps saying 64% and it is not going up, it is sometimes going down to 63% even in standby.

To find out if its maybe a faulty usb cable i need to see how much current is going in to my phone when charging, but i cant seem to figure it out, even though all of you say that the currentwidget shows use of current or input from charger - do you know how to do this?

If anybody knows, please help me.

Thanks in advance

[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Kinda the wrong thread and the right thread at the same time. The problem is likely due to the USB port on the computer you're charging from. Have you tried charging on a different USB port? Also, if you load the widget while charging, what value is it reporting?

Some USB ports are unpowered, which means they really won't charge anything and some devices won't work on them. Others, for whatever reason, provide only a small amount of power, which may be just enough to keep up with your phone's battery usage but not to actually charge it.
[Vibrant Android Development] sfsilicon:
Also possible that it is the cable. Are you using the stock Samsung cable and charger? That combo should get you ~1100 in the widget. If your using adapters or extension cords take them off.

Best way to check for a faulty cable is set the widget to update every second and wiggle around. If you see the current value jumping around a lot (e.g. from 100 to 800/1100) then it is the cable. The cable can have trouble near the micro USB plug or the actual cable itself.

On the USB port make sure that you have the Samsung drivers installed. They are available in the DEV area.

Finally it could be your chargers. I had some really bad/cheap ones that did around 400. I've also had a car charger that started at 1100 and then drop within seconds to <200.
[Vibrant Android Development] sfsilicon:
Has anyone passed the information back to the original app developer? I've gotten 3 app updates for the original app since the OP first posted this modified widget. The original app developer is open on supporting other phones.

Hey ProFragger,

Did you ever figure out how to create a flashable zip file from an apk?

Also, I'm very curious what is the contacts app you had bcnice20 create for you?

I'm trying to take a people app from the EVO 3D or the Sense and put it on my EVO 4G so that I can filter the google contacts. EVO 4 G is the only HTC phone that doesn't have this option. I've been fighting it for years, but just recently rooted so now I'm looking at trying to mess with it again.

[General Questions and Answers] Johev:
OK, I never thought I would be writing a post like this but the time has come, my mother is moving from her Nokia 2630 phone, that does not ring any more and wants something that can have some dictionaries installed on.

I am a long time user of smart phones, but I always stuck to WM. My mother sees my HD2 and she wanted something not as big, but with some extra futures.

So, after carefully thinking about this I have decided that an Android phone would be best for her. WM is too complicated, and I have read some nice things about android, even though I have never played with one. It looks simple, and I have high hopes that with a phone like that my mother will learn how to send SMS (she never adapted to the numerical keyboard that phones for writing). But she can write a SMS on my HD2, so I hope Android should be the one.

My mother does not need a Nexus ONE or a Samsung Galaxy S.

Something a bit smaller would be better for her, and does not need the 1Ghz horse power for what she will be doing on it, which should be:

a) make and receive calls

b) hopefully SMS and e-mails

c) listen to her mp3 dictionaries, is learning French at the moment

d) wants to have installed dictionary on her phone, so she does not have to carry heavy dictionaries with her

e) Bluetooth sharing files

f) take some pictures

I wanted a not very expensive phone, which I am going to buy from eBay probably.

I was thinking HTC Hero, HTC Magic (I do not even know what the difference between these two phones is). But I was thinking about something with the 528Mhz and a bit of RAM so that it works smoothly enough for my mother to playfully learn how to use.

Thank you all for your help.

PS: I have no clue about other Android phones that are not made by HTC, so if you think that other brand is more suitable for her, I have no problems of buying it.
[General Questions and Answers] TangoChen:
Good guy~

I agree that Android would be much more suitable for her than WM.

I think what you should mainly care is the phone's camera cause the need of "take some pictures"..

I just know this..:D
[General Questions and Answers] Learners Lisence:
i just envy her so much, even now. Loved reading ur post.:)
[General Questions and Answers] albarona1:

nokia express music

is ok for her
[General Questions and Answers] Johev:
Thank you all for your replies, but if someone could suggest to me an Android phone or at least what is the difference between Hero and Magic, and which one gets more support from the community, it would be very helpful to me.

I though about Nokia, but symbian is such a strange OS, my mother would probably just stick to phone calls and pictures. It is good to listen to music, but I am not sure if there are many French dictionaries for symbian.

Besides that I kinda like the Android community here, so it would be easier for me to buy her one, and if she needed anything, I could solve the problem quickly and easily with all your help off course.

Thank you once again.

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know that why it freezes with all cooked Rom? I tried to find solution, but I couldn’t. (searching this forum.)

1. I flasing new ROM (sometimes use TASK 29)

2. Install few program

3. When I install new program or SMS would like to write, or do anything, Rhodium is freezed. :S

4. After restarting, the ROM flashing Automatic and delete all settings, as if I do the first step.

Please help me, because it is a bit annoying. : S
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Does it freeze on the bare cooked ROM ? i.e. before you install your programs ? Because it might be one of those that is causing your problem.

Does it freeze on the stock ROM ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gazsyka:
— Does it freeze on the bare cooked ROM ? i.e. before you install your programs ? Because it might be one of those that is causing your problem.

Installed programm are SPB mobile shell, resco utility, sktools, magicall and pocketshield. I used Valkyre rom, simplicity rom, Energy... I got same result. I think, this is not cooked ROM problem

— Does it freeze on the stock ROM ?

No idea! Nowdays I have not tried stock ROM.

My idea is Hard-SPL or stock radio or SD-card? I reinstall Hard-SPL, and changed radio rom to 4.49.25.17 version. I hope it will solve this problem.

The biggest problem is reinstall ROM after restart, and clear all settings! Has anyone experienced similar? Solution?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PNut:
Ezzel az érthetetlen angolsággal nehezen fognak segíteni neked...

No, de most hogy kikötözködtem magam...

Tisztázni kéne mit értesz fagyás alatt ?

Csak az érintőképernyő nem reagál, vagy teljesen elsötétül és alvásból nem jön vissza a bekapcsológomb nyomogatására sem, rengeteg ilyen fagyásszerű jelenség van a Rhodium-on és szinte mind könnyen orvosolható.

A fagyás okának kizárásához mindenképp rakd fel a gyári ROM-ot a TP2-re:

1. Ments mindent a gépről ami nem memóriakártyán van tárolva, mert a ROM flashelés mindig adatvesztéssel jár.

2. Használd a Task29-et [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191 ]

3. Task29 után az új ROM-ot akksi levétel és visszarakás után, a bal oldali hangerőszabályzó le (halkító) lévő gomb nyomvatartása közbeni bekapcsolással flasheld be (ha jól csinálod egy piros-zöld-kék hátterű bootloadert látsz majd)

4. Itt találsz gyári ROM-ot, ez a legfrissebb belőle:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=632129&highlight=stock+rom

5. Töltsd le, frissítsd a bootloader módban a letöltött csomagban lévő customruu.exe-vel.

A Radio ROM-ot csak akkor frissítsd és csak arra a verzió-ra amit az adott Chef ajánl a ROM-hoz (ez általában Recommended ROM sorban fel van mindenhol tüntetve).

Nekem eddig a legstabilabb és legkisebb akksizabáló Radio ROM ez, és a legtöbb ROM-hoz is ezt ajánlják a Chef-ek:

4.49.25.91

1 - http://rapidshare.com/files/351404806/Rhodium_Radio_4.49.25.91.rar

2 - http://www.4shared.com/file/219944205/8d228d65/Radio_Rhodium_4492591.html

A programokat egyenként rakd fel, lehet hogy valamelyik hibás. Ha neadjisten tört programok lennének, lehet hogy az egyik nem százas... amúgy az SPB mobile shell a telefont eleve csigalassúságúra lassítja. Ha feltelepíted, előtte a Today screenből tiltsd le a Sense-et mert különben nem marad memória a programok futtatására (mindkét felület nagyon erőforrásigényes).

Remélem tudtam némileg segíteni.

PS : Wildfire roms are a bit "heavy" for our Tattoo (because wildfire has 384 MB RAM, tattoo has only 256). i'm waiting from the launch of HTC Tide, which it will released in this month, and is nearly the same that the Tattoo (same processor, same RAM, same display,but with AF Camera). It will bring Eclair with Sense ;)

PS2 : HTC Salsa will be released this month too, is a 320x240 device, and it MAY cames with FroYo...at least we can got good roms (without camera)

Exactly. I do not believe that Tatto will ever receive any official upgrade.

I am pretty happy with current custom Froyo ROMs :) The only problem with them is non working camera (which in other hand is full crap, i used it to scan QR codes only).

Yes, Sense UI is quit nice, but it also offers a lot of crap too.

I miss HTC keyboard only, but in other hand it doesn't provide characters nor word suggestion for my language. So i use AnySoftKeyboard which looks like stock one. Oh.. and i miss T9 input and search with dialpad in phone application. That's all.
