I think you are confused about those numbers, those numbers are the amount of battery each item takes up. So Your cell standby takes up 38% of each instant your battery is running. It did not take 38% of your battery. Wifi is significatly better on battery then 2g or 3g, i would advise always use wifi when you can.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snlu178:
Are you using exchange push? 2.2 has a bug that if you are not rooted on a new rom can create this rapid battery drain on exchange.

I recommend getting os monitor and seeing what is taking up the load.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
This sounds really similar to what was happening to me the first week with my N1. Cell Stand by was my biggest battery killer. A few posts above has it correct.

Ironically, by turning off wifi in an attempt to save battery I caused my phone to use the cell antenna which uses more power, and takes longer to complete each task. I now leave wifi on whenever I am near my routers, and even most of the time when I am not.

Turning off live wallpapers and disabling auto updates on social networking apps can also be a big help.

Run a few 24 hour tests changing some of those factors, but generally, think about wifi as a battery saver and you should get a bit better results. Your not using exchange right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melwan:
Yep. Wifi should be a priority over network connection. Make sure you also change the wifi sleep policy to "never" (settings > wireless & networks > wifi settings > hit menu button > advanced > wifi sleep policy > never).

Also I would double check the APN settings to make sure you are using the best/latest settings for your carrier. (settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > access point names) Make sure the one selected matches the recommended settings for your carrier (you need to call your carrier or google the settings).

Other than that, maybe a reboot would help? pull and reinsert battery?

Hope that helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wellynz:
Ok Thanks for all the replies. I dont have any push notifications set to automatically update and I dont use any social networking apps. Ill turn Wi-Fi on now and even though I set it to "never" sleep - it still does when I lock the screen...but thats another problem :P.

Im not using any exchange push, not even sure what that is.

Cheers
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Yes keep WiFi on will save you an enormous amount of battery, no question. The difference is huge for me. And your WiFi sleep policy should be set to never. If you have the bug where this setting does not work, then that stinks and you could install the new driver that fixes it. But for now you would need to be rooted until the fix is official.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wellynz:
I have now enabled Wi-Fi and put 3G back on. However my battery is still draining fast. It now says my Wi-Fi is using up 30+% of my battery. Im losing about 8-10% of battery every hour - Im pretty sure that isnt normal?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
The other place to check is: settings->applications->running services.

See if there is something in there that you don't think should be running. Your display should be using the most battery, so it sounds like something is running automatically.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.brown:
i have a similar problem with my battery i see that your on fido network like me whats the apn setting your using?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wellynz:
@adambenjamin: Thanks had a look. Everything that is running I want running, nothing that shouldnt be there.

@d.brown: Whats a fido network? I live in New Zealand, your flag is showing Canada - so we arent on the same network?

@everyone: So just a little update/recap. Basically my battery gets drained quite fast. Basically all my phone does is sit on the table next to me. I might send 5 or less texts a day, thats it - That will be all I do with my phone. I DONT have any push updates, no social networking. I have my brightness down to the lowest it can go.

I am on 3G, have set Wi-Fi to "never" sleep (However it does anyway).

Right now my phone has been unplugged from being charged for 8hours 24 minutes with only 45% of the battery left - I have sent two texts today and thats the ONLY time I have used my phone. My display is using 31%, Cell Standby 27% and phone idle 24% = 82%

Something I have changed recently is going from one network to another. The network I was one of the two biggest in my country (Which means it has alot of towers). I changed to another network which has been going for just over a year (Less towers). Could my battery be running down faster than normal because its harder to find a signal than before?

Also, my signal strength is -107dBm 4 asu (Absoloutley no idea what that means, but might be valuable to somebody out there who can help)

Thanks for all the help :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivanshah:
Switch to GSM Auto (PRL) instead of WCDMA Auto. this helped battery life immensely for me. i can get to around 20 hours of moderate use usually

edit: to do this, you'll have to make a shortcut to the "phone info" activity using anycut or bettercut or another shortcut app.

once in "Phone Info", there's a drop down where you can select gsm auto (prl)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
Dunno if it was mentioned, get OSMonitor (free from market) and see if Email.apk is stuck at full cpu load. It's been a problem since 2.1, it does that sometimes. If it's at more than 10%, kill it and re-launch it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wellynz:
Hmm well strangley my Battery seems to be alot better now. Been on for 1day, 15hours, 23minutes and its on 73% remaining. Before it would last like 15 at most and be out. All I did was Turn W-Fi back on. Thanks everybody for there help :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forge94:
Been having the same issues as you, it's kinda getting annoying now.

I'm pretty much the same as you. I'll send a couple of texts a day or so, then put the phone to sleep and leave it for a couple of hours etc. No continuous usage.

From say, 8am till 9pm, I'm left with under 20% left, after EXTREMELY light usage. Sending a couple of texts and turning the screen on to check the time a few times shouldn't even be considered usage at all!

I'm just a bit envious of others who claim 2-3 days with light net browsing, a few texts etc. Thats more than me, yet they use less power.

On top of that, I'm running CM6 which includes an undervolted kernel a.k.a less power usage....ummm?

I've tried everything!

1) I've underclocked to max 384mhz when the screen is off (960 max when screen is on)

2) Wifi is usually left on

3) Data is usually turned off

4) No rogue apps detected

^

At the end of each day I check "Spare Parts" in my battery history to try and find an app that is using an abnormal amount of battery...Everythings fine.

5) Under "running services" all there is are my widget services (none data-related. eg Set Cpu widget, battery widget, Fancy Widget)

6) The screen is on auto brightness

7) Sync is off

8) GSM Auto is set instead of WCDMA preferred.

Everything!

I'm pretty much limiting the use of the phone just to make it through the day on standby.

And please, don't accuse me of someone complaining about their 12 hours, 32 minutes of "light usage" (6 hours web browsing, sync turned on, 4 hours of Angry Birds,constant calling/emailing)

I used to be able to leave my phone overnight for 8-9 hours and only have the battery go down 5-6 percent. Now its triple or more. And frustrating.

I really can't think of anything else.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
From my experience, when I was running CM6 RC1, I was getting about 2 day's battery life with pershoots (pre-720p) 2.35 uv oc kernal. After upgrading to RC2, I no longer got good battery life, and I tried everything I know of with little luck.

I decided to try a new ROM and kernel. Now I am using Geo's frf91 stock deodexed blackbar v6.1 with the Stock kernel. This is now my favorite ROM/kernel combination. Try that one out and see how you run at stock levels, then maybe flash a new kernel if you want. Pershot, and Wildmonk are the local favorites, but I found them to leave me with sporadic overheating/ touch screen or reboot to X screen glitches. I would try a few days away from CM, to at least isolate some variables.

What version of CM6 are you running?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantumstate:
There's a great little app called Snowstorm, for weather. Its widget though, always disappears on reboot: "Problem loading widget". Seems that alot of other widgets are having this problem too:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/5047-problem-loading-widget-for-all-widgets-after-restart/

Snowstorm's dev doesn't find anything amiss in the Android log. When it happens the widget isn't even in the Widgets List anymore. I have to fully un/reinstall Snowstorm. But it always happens again.

Is there any hope?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Are you installing it to SD or internal memory? Widgets don't get on with being installed on the SD.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantumstate:
Internal. Dev says that's necessary as it's a service. He also says BTW that for some reason the service is not getting started, and that the fault is somehow with CM6.

U gotta enable sideloading, but u have to be rooted. Look n the development section and find unleash the beast, install it, it will tell u how to enable sideloading. Also after u do that DL astro file manager from the market and go to preferences tab and tell click enable internet browser downloads and that will do the trick.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Riddig:
Hi.

I tryed to use unrevoked 3.14 with ubuntu 10.04 64 Bit installation.

It doesnt work.

The use with ubuntu 10.04 64 Bit Live DVD was impossible too.

When I start the reflash program, it will end after a few seconds. Without any output or error message.

Because I was not at home, it was not possible to download the 32 bit version of ubuntu.

So I used the Windows Version with Windows 7 64, this works fine.

Anyone got problems with unrevoked 3.14 under ubuntu 10.04 64 Bit too?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DannetStudio:
Yes, I have problems too, I think its a software for 32bit architecture, but there is a solution and is to install the 32bit libraries required by the app. You can try with "getlibs" for example, its a cool app.

You should debug unrevoked from console and see the errors of invalid or missing libraries to know what are you needing. It depends of your computer, configuration and installed software so you could need diferent libraries than other people.

Other solution, is to install vmware or virtualbox and run a virtualized distro based on 32bits, in my experience unrevoked has not problems with this architecture on linux.

Regards

Daniel
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xtcislove:
Yes im pretty sure that this problem is related to the Architecture same Problem with WIN64 Bit....

Accelerometer not working

im having the same problem has anyone fix this.? thanks
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Its been 2 months here very shortly and we have no GPS fix or any word on froyo. FROYO has been out since may, the n1 has it, evolution has it, incredible, d2, dx soon, g2 etc. But no Samsung galaxy or even rumor on when we should get it.

The GPS fix was promissed this month, and well its halfway over I just don't see within the next two weeks a GPS fix being rolled out. Of course also no word on froyoz and not only that but CM6.1 may or may not even support our sgs ..

Sooooo, if there is no froyo or atleast a GPS fix by Oct 8th (rumored g2 release date) I'm selling this damn thing on Craigslist and getting a g2...

I love the vibrant way more than the g2 but I'm sure its gps will work and its coming with stock 2.2.

Wtf Samsung, get your act together. I heard rumors about slow updates but wow. At this time now the evolution had cm6 and a real rom from HTC/Google.

Anyways, hurry up Sammy or I'm going back to htc with the g2.

Edit: lets not be stupid either, if Samsung could fix this GPS issue, it would be fixed by now and the epic as they said would work would work properly ...

I've lost all faith on a software issue and believe its hardware. Why else would every version be wacked.

Just in case though I'm giving them till the g2.

The thing is... These half assed threats of switching to a different phone vendor are pretty lame. No one (including samsung, HTC and google) cares what phone you have. Keep the vibrant, dont keep the vibrant. Who cares.

When you got on your rant what were you setting out to accomplish? Oh...thats right. Nothing.

So here is an idea. If you are an unhappy customer and feel the company you bought your phone from. The same company that you did your reasearch on and accepted the risk the phone bring updated wouldnt fit into your time frame. Use your powers of free will and go.but something else.

Good day sir.

[Vibrant General] icon57:

[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
What's lame is you ranting In my topic about what I make a thread about. Obviously you cared and it made enough of a impact on you to reply . I have every right to ***** and you will see more of it from others for the rest of your life. So before you act lime a preacher and try and change the world/forum, think again, your post is as washed up as this supposed topic your saying.

I stand by my topic, we should all be frustrated for Samsung not fixing our GPS or atleast saying its completely fubared. Froyo, where's froyo? I've got valid gripes and *****es, that's what forums are for and I think many agree things are getting to near and we don't see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes Samsung should care on their Rep cause in the end that's what gets them a returning customer.

I was all for this phone and backing up waiting, but common were going on a quarter of a year withouwfixes or froyo, some people don't but have a phone for 6 months, 3 of that 6 there waiting like crackheads for a bag?

Please no rude responses I have a valid gripe

Good day ma'am
[Vibrant General] Trev420:
Couldnt you rant in the countless other "where is froyo" threads?

Why do you feel the need to make a new thread for something like this?

I'm all for stateing your opinion but atleast do it in an already existing thread about the exact same thing.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Why did you open this thread then if there's others?

Stop acting like forum police

Really this thread is a watch. Froyo nor gps fix will see this phone withing 1 month... so for those wanting to buy this phone for those reasons and expecting a fix this month, think again.

THERE WILL BE NO, I SAY AGAIN NO GPS FIX OR FROYO THIS MONTH OR EVEN SHORTLY AFTER. THAT IS WHY I WILL BE GETTI G A G2. I'd advise anyone needing GPS or froyo to find a new phone. Samsung isn't gonna do **** anytime soon... yes that's negative but I'm a realist, it's not gonna happen.
[Vibrant General] coolguy949:
I personally don't care if there's "yet another thread" about this. I understand people are pissed (I get pissed too). Yeah, Sammy doesn't care whether we are happy or not - they are a huge multinational corporation half a world away. There are so many layers between us and their management it's not even funny. Our concerns get lost in a call log of a customer service department or in a product manager's inbox of automated reports. Plus, even if they did read and have concern about these issues, it's too late. Usually it's cheaper for them to take these issues and fix them in the next iteration of the product than to re-tool the factory or make a change on the line. A massive corporation like Samsung is all about efficiency and not stopping production. Our only hope is a software fix or, by the grace of God, a recall if the problem is so bad it requires legal action.

I agree with the poster that says we can just walk away and get a different phone or whatever. However, some of us paid $500 for this thing and it's a significant investment to buy yet another phone. Yeah we can eBay it (which is what I would do). Or for others it's just a disappointment because ON-PAPER this is the "perfect phone". I'm a little of both. I love this phone - the form factor, the screen, the UI, etc - but it's not operating as advertised. If the phone would work as intended it would be my perfect phone. That's what many of us are holding out hope for. We are frustrated and want a fix, not a new phone.

I had to get rid of my Evo because of horrendous QC problem (mine was literally coming apart). It was almost heartbreaking because I waited so long for that damn phone to come out. But once I got the Vibrant, the Evo was forgotten about - until the buzz wore off and the lag and GPS issue became a serious problem. OK, I'm done storytelling. :)

With over 2 weeks left in the month, let's hope Sammy pulls through and tries to save their reputation. I'll say this though - I will think VERY carefully next time I buy a Samsung phone.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
i agree i just talked to android about it. they said not anytime soon because 1 month ahead they get notified if they update would come to a certain phone or not. and she said there is nothing about 2.2 on vibrant. so we are ****ed..

That is strange, I talked to Samsung at the beginning of the month, they said when they dropped 2.2 for the International one, which has happened, they pushed the build to their "vendors" at the same time. So now it is in the hands of Tmo/ATT and such to finish their "customizing"(read "****ing up") of 2.2 before they push it out ...

Disclaimer: Samsung info may be bogus, but has as much chance as any other source to be accurate.

Agree...

kinda agree...

Everyone has a right to gripe. I agree with the OP that some of the members behave as police sometimes. Lots of passive aggressive B.S. and plain old B.S.

I mostly agree with the fact that, multi-national or not, customers build companies. Disregarding our collective powers as customers is a great folly I see Samsung commit. Many of the forum members commit the same error by allowing themselves to seem powerless against this "giant"... FOOLISH! Lets not be foolish.

For instance:

All the Galaxy-S forums are merged. We get a rough grasp of the number of purchased devices by members. Subsidized or not I am sure that will equate to a lot of money when the math is done. That equates to purchasing power. Purchasing power equates a VOICE.

Pretty easy to understand:)

Is 2.1 that horrible? I know froyo is that good. Are you in the industry to say what's long or short for time. I would rather wait for something that works properly than a rushed piece of crap.
