[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miro666:
Yesterday i was make all from this HTC Desire thread give, except wipe battery stats because i not found this thing in clockwork recovery menu, and i can say , it work for our device too. My Galaxy S battery last pretty better-smoother:

After all, i powered on my device in midnight 00:00, morning about 8:00 was battery 100% too. Standby without APN connection, recieved one SMS only.About 10:30 was 99% have one short about minute,recieved call. On 12:00 make APN conection (2G) and about 20 min was on the internet, some news page, company pages, etc., and battery dropped to 97%, about 14:00 some calls 3-4 min, dropped to 95%. On 15:00 was on the APN about half hour,battery go on 93%. To now on 19:00 hour battery is on 92%...I think this is great thing, beause before my galaxy was from 100% to empty about one and half day....

Next thing i use only when i need it, usualy stay:

1.WiFi off

2.APN only when need Internet(2G), rest is off

3.Bluetooth off

4. Animation off (in Settings)

5.Autorotate off

6.GPS off

7.Network location off

8.Autosync off

Best regards

Just given this a try...will report back in a few days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beast11:
I tried it... i didnt notice a SIGNIFICANT change... although i did switch from ryan's lagfix to the voodoo one... so that maybe have had an effect. Overall it feels like the battery life is about the same...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gusoldier:
Also no change for me, after 8 hours of use with wifi or 3g on whole time, dropped 35%.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miro666:
I forgett say, i have stock I9000XXJF3 rooted firmware,newer reflashed any other firmware, none lagfix apk, or other etc. system things apk, expect task manager and startup manager... From 19:00 when a haved 92%, and now on 1:20 i have 89% with 15 minute calling, 4 SMS sended/recived, about half hour internet surfing on 2G, and 10 min play bubbles game. Tommorow i will tried GPS lasting and wifi. For me more than fantastic battery duration...I was Make exactly how read on HTC Desire thread, except wipe battery stats, but reboot i was make from recovery menu, not usualy with on/off button or some reboot apk, becaus, i think maybe battery stats itself refreshed-calibrated !?

Best regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibizaGTi:
Well, I did this last night, and my phones battery status is now showing 98% after 11.5 hours.

To be fair, I was asleep for most of this time, and have only brought the phone out of standby a couple of times to check the time.

I also have APN/bluetooth/Wifi switched off, and i'm using only 2g networks.

Still, 2% in almost 12 hours isn't bad is it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diger36:
Nope....

I just tried it this morning. I still have the same battery consumption per hour with the same amount of using the phone. So I guess it's not working for me. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ed10000:
Wow, that's seriously amazing guys. No noticeable improvements here. Followed the procedure, it was 100% at 8am. It's 6pm now, and after around 25 texts, 75 minutes of 2g calls and 5 minutes of 2g browsing, I now have 27% battery left. Doesn't seem like anything has improved.

I'm on JM7 with voodoo, btw.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911rsr:
detail

have good succes with disabling power saving mode, so the brightness mode only is, as i set to be, my batterytime has improve significant. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Yeah, and power saving mode on the display is annoying anyways.

This method seems like voodoo (not the lagfix voodoo), but many people on many devices seem to swear by it.

If you're not happy with battery life, get spare parts off the market and look into what's eating up the battery life. Check your data-sucking widgets, wifi sleep policy, screen brightness settings, etc. Get rid of those apps that are mis-behaving and turn down the frequency on widget data.

Wiping batterystats.bin file after a full charge usually helps if you haven't tried that.

Also, if this is your first smartphone with a big bright display and a fast cpu, get used to the fact that the battery isn't going to last as long as your Razr did, not anywhere near as long.

Get a spare battery (the SGS battery is so thin it fits in my wallet without even noticing it's there, get a spare desk charger for your office and keep a charger in the car. Dock/charge the thing when you have the chance to keep the % up while you're away from the charger, and stop worrying over this.

With virtually every new "ROM" I follow on this device and the Nexus One, the first and biggest complaint is usually "battery life sucks" in the early release stage; then the complaints start disappearing as the battery stats get a chance to settle down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanchin99:
Yes, I did tried that 'HTC Desire' Method.

On my previous firmware JM5,

80% 18hrs

74% 1 Day 1 hrs 47min

And lasted until the 3rd day before I had to plug in the charger. All this with Wifi off and idling most of the time.

For JPC,

The battery level was awful until I applied the wifi fix for JPc

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774507&page=5

Currently, my galaxy s is on 28% approaching 3 days (72 hours). So i guess in my case the battery level did improved. All this with playing games, wifi on (off when the screen is off) and movies. So the usage definitely increased, yet the battery still stands strong :D

Oh and another thing, the brightness level on JM5 was 30 (android lowest). I discovered Dimmer after that, which promptly reduced the brightess to 10 for JPC. That might explain the better battery part a bit
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindaichi24:
erm why does disabling power saving mode increase the battery life? i thought it supposes to save the power instead? My brightness is already set to the lowest means i dont need to enable power saving mode? wads the difference of enabling and dis-enabling.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gusoldier:
Same question. Then why it's called Power Saving mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merken_:
During this mode, the screen's brightness will adjust to the color/intensity of the image projected on your screen. If the image is bright, the brightness will go down in order to safe battery life.

If the image is dark (like most of the SGS's UI) it will increase the brightness because dark colors don't drain as much of the battery.

This sounds pretty confusing, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

I disabled this mode, because i think i conflicts with the automatic brightness setting =D

QuickSettings did the trick for me, if i'm in a dark area i disable automatic brightness and go for the lowest setting (Still brighter than an Acer Liquid or HTC Desire if you ask me ! AMOLED IS GREAT !)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindaichi24:
So basically it means that by disabling the power saving mode save the power more instead? As it does nt increase the brightness nor decrease automatically?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan 6a:
I have tried this desire fix and it achieved no improvement at all.

I have heard that the best thing is to let battery drain then charge whilst phone is off.. but its too impractical to do this all the time..

I may be wrong but wasn't someone with good battery life going to share the batterystat file? was there someone mentioning a fix like this?

Also if you have 3 batteries how does that tie into the battery stats file.. after GPS fixing this is now seeming like a big problem, a few people i know and from an Australian forum have been disappointed with the battery life, and some people on here are getting 2-3 days

A guy from work tested it before taking it back and without sim, network, wifi etc got 23 hours in standby.

The website states something like 300 hours in standby? I think that is BS in fact on the samsung galaxy Australian site, they have replaced the battery standby to TBA...

Anyway after samsung took his device and 'tested it' they said the hardware was all okay, here is the new firmware.

As soon as I see him I will report what fw samsung gave him to 'fix' his battery life.

I call shannigans on samsung.... again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miro666:
A you sure is not in backgrond AutoSync, or GPS, or Network location is off. And very important make exatly procedure step by step from Desire thread...Im now after 38 hours (day and half) on 70% with my usual using (about hour 2G internet, 30 minute call, 4-5 SMS, and 10 min GPS with network location. BUT ALL MAKE OFF AFTER USING, when go on Standby)....Impresive realy?

I thinking make same procedure with my old HTC Touch Diamond 2...

Best regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Charge with phone off while you sleep shouldn't be too hard, unless you need the phone for incoming calls or alarms.

I don't believe batterystats.bin can be shared amongst phones, it's really just a log of your own phone's battery performance, if I understand it correctly.

Three batteries (like you and I have) will almost certainly confuse the battterystats file, unless all three batteries have exactly the same performance characteristics.

300 hours in standby...? Well, those kind of stats are always under "optimal" conditions. Optimal for any smartphone would be to have the phone in 2G only, wifi off, BT off, syncing off, all widgets off, location off, etc, etc, etc; basically just your phone in cell standby and not being used for anything else. My Nexus One, which gets little to no use now, used to last no more than 18 hours as my everyday phone, now with Froyo on it, a few weather widgets, wifi on, location on, etc, etc, it will last several days off the charger. I think we all just use our phones a LOT more than we realize, and that the display chews up more battery than we think.

Looking forward to what new firmware Sammy gives your friend.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webcrtor:
This really helped me and I'm dead serious, after flashing a lot of roms and somtimes charging to only 50-70 percent and then disconnecting it seemed that my battery drained way to fast! I followed this:

1: Charge phone whilst on till LED is green.

2: Disconnect phone from charger, power it off.

3: Reconnect to charger with phone powered off and allow to charge till LED is green.

4: Disconnect the phone from charger, power it on. Once completely powered on, turn it off again and reconnect to charger until LED is green.

5: Reboot into recovery with clockworkmod and wipe battery stats.

And now after 5 hours with about 20 sms send/received I still have 93% battery, normally it was like 83 or lower by then, so I'm very happy! thanks for posting
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spark001uk:
As title says. At night the phone sits in a desk stand in landscape orientation. Alarm goes off in morning, big clock in middle of screen, digital time underneath, no buttons for snooze/stop. Unlock the phone, turn it to portrait and back to landscape, then next time it goes off the buttons are there! Anyone else had this?
[neoTouch S200 General] apollo13hk:
:(:(:( any parts and change , then make the S200 to be support multi touch ?
[neoTouch S200 General] woaloo:
Physically, It couldn't be multi touch, because the a difference between capacitive screen ( HTC HD2, Iphone) and resistive one (S2OO, HTC HD2)

But some programmers on this forum have managed to simulate a capacitive screen with a resistive one.

With this solution, you can pinch to zoom and others thing like capacitive

Why is it so simple.....
[neoTouch S200 General] apollo13hk:
Thanks your reply , I mean change the LCD / Mon , can it make S200 support it ?
[neoTouch S200 General] :
No one simulated multi-touch on a resistive screen..thats impossible, what anadol and others did was implement a Dual-touch for resistive screens, that is something completely different from multi-touch.
[neoTouch S200 General] woaloo:
Ok rafyvitto,

That's true, thanks for the precision. Dual touch is not multi-touch... ;-)

@ apollo13hk :

I think that it would be quite difficult. Maybe you wil need then some "special" drivers for handling multi-touch.

I'm not a specialist, but I think it's a hard mod for your phone.
[HTC Aria General] superchilpil:
its been done!!! the last step is for it to be compiled for our devices

flashed phone w/ Aria_Freedom

open terminal emulator, entered command

got the same error message everyone else gets

plug in power to PS3

plug in phone via USB

w/ 1 finger, quickly tap power then tap eject button

I get three beeps and nothing on screen, power light remains illuminated (green) yet power button does nothing...
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
haven't had that happen to me yet. you ant got nothing plug in to the other USB port do you?
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
No, nothing. I am on Froyo 2.2, does that matter?
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
no. you can do a nano backup and to a fresh install of froyo and see if that helps
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Well what the hell? Do I need anything else on my sd card besides the zip file Aria_Freedom? BTW thx for the help!

edit: the three beeps is because I am hitting the eject button w/ no disc present.
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
OK reflashed to latest cyanogen, then reflashed w/ aria-freedom, tried again w/ same results. Question:

1) does anyone know where to get the stock rom for the aria? I want to try that.

2) does Nandroid back up everything, such as phone #'s, installed apps, etc? So could I do a total wipe in clockwork, then restore w/ advanced restore and not lose anything?
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
I don't think it works on the stock rom. yeah nano backup in clockwork backups everything up. mabe its your ps3?. what firmware is your ps3?

Sent from me using XDA App
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Version 2.80 - maybe I should do a data wipe prior to loading aria_freedom? Seems to install just fine...
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
its got to be on 3.41.you will have to search the net for it
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
aha! OK then, here I go...
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
don't download it from Sony it's 3.42 and it wount work.

eurasia.nu/wiki/index.php/Ps3OsRels download August 2 2010
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
That did it! Thanks again! So I guess we have to do that everytime we want to play a backup for now, huh? (Assuming this as after a reboot, when selecting backup manager, it gives an error message) Is there an easier way to use terminal, this terminal emulator is horrible and never remembers previous entries...
[HTC Aria General] magicbyrdman:
yes has to be done every time you boot the ps3

once you get it you can unplug your phone but if the ps3 freezes or reboots you have to do it again.
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Is backup manager enabled in this Jailbreak release? I am having problems loading games from internal hard drive after ripping my legally purchased games to the internal hd.
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
its working for me
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
I can rip the games to my internal just fine, and see them w/ the ftp prog, but backup manager just won't load the games, even though it finds them easily enough...
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
when you go in the bm and select a game you backup what does it do?
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Returns to xmb after a few seconds, gives no error message.
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
ok. do this put a game in that dont match the one you want to play in bm select the the backup game in bm and it should see it instead of the game in the drive
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Done, same results. Also checked existing version of aria_freedom for dl from device compatibility list against the one I had previously dl'ed, exact same file...
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
what bm are you using?
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Latest, 1.1 I assume? But am reinstalling it now...
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Should I try the stealth manager? It wants to dl game data for CoD 4 though, kinda leery of that (hidden 3.42 update or something)

edit: reinstalled backup manager after uninstalling, same results. (dl'ed from ps3-hacks)
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
have you tried the one from here

psjailbreak.com/downloads
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Same exact file, and heads up: when you delete the backup manager, it looks like you delete all the games as well! Now I get to wait another hour while I backup again...
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
ok
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Any other ideas? I can't find anything online really; have been on google for hours now, to no avail. Kinda sucks to get this far then get shut down, but thats life. :mad:

edit: look what i found: "It is supposed to send you back to XMB, go to the game xmb and the game should be there in place of your LBP blu ray disc." This is news to me, and look forward to checking it out after backing up; I just assumed when you hit "x" to load the game, it would go right into the gameloading sequence!
[HTC Aria General] HoboAstral:
you should try using a game that you haven't backed up or one different to the one you're trying to load, what backup manager does is "emulate" the backup image into the disc inserted in the ps3, so no matter what game is inside the disc drive the one you loaded from BM will show up at the xmb
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Got it. Does the game have to be verified working w/ backup manager in order for bu to emulate?
[HTC Aria General] FFXTDS:
don't know. but i believe you have to delete the data that the disc version installs to the harddrive or it will freeze on you when you try to play the backup version
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Lol that was ignorant, I wasted a lot of time today :( Everything is working perfectly now, thank you very much for your help! BTW Currently have a known-not-working disc in the drive and playing another. Oh well, I hope I save somebody here that frustration at least...

edit: error installing game updates, but plays fine. Should I be worried?
[HTC Aria General] HoboAstral:
most of the updates in every game are not working, but those are used only for online gameplay, so dont worry about it just disable internet connection to avoid the anoying update popup
[HTC Aria General] thor999000999:
Works! Thanks again. FWIW I'm hearing that BU ver 2.0 breaks a lot of game compatibility.
