Have you got a de-branded / rooted phone ? It sounds like the issue you get if you update without a gold card.
[Desire General] Baz8755:
That would explain why I wondering what people were complaining about, no matter how much I looked at it the icon never looked lo-res to me :)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I only noticed it after wiping my phone so it set it back to multi-language
[Desire General] miodrag.cutura:
Another neat feature not mentioned before.

When the phone is turnet with the display facing down, if someone is calling you, the phone rings for just 0.5 sec and than goes to silent.

So guys, is there anything I can do about that fast battery drop? Will it re-calibrate by itself? I mean, this morning in 3 hours of idle time it dropped to 77 percent.
[Desire General] Smultie:
Same here and it's driving me crazy...
[Desire General] leoking3:
This only happened after I flashed the official ROM, rooted by someone. It did not happen with my stock ROM, rooted by myself. This was a very dumb move, but I had to, as I previously had erased the Boot in recovery mode. And could not find a clean Froyo ROM, untouched. Maybe someone knows where I can find one?
[Desire General] stupsi99:
try to disable hsdpa !!! go to gsm-mode and the battery works 3 times longer.

had the problem with a1 card in turkey - only 9 hour battery live without doing anything.

changed to gsm and it run 1-2 days.

wlan and 3g makes heavy battery drain

use the 3 apps to view your battery-drain.

[Desire General] leoking3:
Man thanks very much for your advice, but of course we know that already. Phone is on GSM. There must be another issue. Probably coming from root, or from radio version.
[Desire General] Smultie:
Wow, really.... if you shut off the phone completely there is no drain left either :')

Aaanyway. I'm back to unrooted again leoking, same settings as I had before, and I still get 8% drain/hour with doing nothing (I'm asleep, the phone's asleep.)

Phone on GSM Auto (PRL) as I had before with the first 2.2 HTC rom.
[Desire General] leoking3:
Unbelievable! And I was happy with the phone until now. Hey did you try this?

[Desire General] Smultie:
Yeah, I did that when I was rooted, didn't seem to make that much of a difference though.

Just hate the fact that I know gotta make sure that the phone is at least 50% full before I go to sleep because otherwise the phone is completely empty when I wake up :(

Don't think you can reset battery stats when you're not rooted...

I too have seen my battrey last a lot longer.. at work most days I dont use my phone but standby use about 30% battrey.. but with the new update only using 9% and lower temps. I use battrey snap and BatteryFu..

I have got a problem. I was on HTC Asia Desire 2.1 ROM. I de-branded and then upgraded to Froyo ROM by way shown in this forum using gold card. Today, morning, I got the notification to get this update 2.10.405.2 and did it in hurry. Now I am getting WiFi error.

Help me out please to get everything working in perfect shape.

Not sure if it's already mentioned here, but:

- Dialer buttons (speaker etc.), Stopwatch Reset button still have no right border :mad:

- When saving picture from Internet, after it's downloaded you can preview it from notification bar. It has menu, and one icon - Details - is blurred :mad:

- When pressing speaker button in keyboard, an error pops up if no connection is found. If it's done in landscape mode, there is not enough place for this message (OK button is cropped)

- Keyboard En language button is blurred; the workaround to remove other languages to fix it is a joke, right? It's really not acceptable.
[Desire General] n_saravana:
Indeed Goldcard saved me.. i had singapore shipped Desire which flashed with Europian and upgraded to Froyo....forgot to put the goldcard for this update and had wi-fi issue. Solved now due to gold card...

BTW, the changes i had noticed (hope not mentioned earlier by others) are...

1. Messages and emails can now be sent to group. When you click the icon next to the address bar... (OR was it there earlier??).

2. The favourites widget which i was using earlier, now sorts the contacts in a different manner. (now with first name, i guess)..

3. while viewing the contacts list, now send text message option is available for all phone numbers (irrespective of home, office, mobile etc...)

I hope I hv noticed the changes properly... forgive if not...i am naive..

Anyone else having an issue?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
1. Yep, noticed that too. Oversight on HTCs part there!

2. Don't know, don't use this as my main Internet access

3. Same with all messages, and has been since 2.1 (when connecting to WiFi it hides the 'Show password' tick box until you scroll up)

4. Get over it, it's a small niggle that no doubt will get fixed so just use the fix I highlighted for now...it's REALLY not that big a deal

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwertyAccess:
Hey guys,

I'm having an interesting issue here, basically I've noticed my vibrant isn't charging the phone battery,

instead it says "discharging" when plugging it in. When i go to the 'about phone - status area'.

When I unplug the charger it says "not charging" and when I plug it in it says Discharging.

Has anyone seen this behavior on their phones? I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my phone

or if Samsung tries to regulate the battery reconditioning it?.

I would like to avoid having to return my phone if this is some sort of strange issue with the vibrant.

I have had the vibrant for over a week now, have not done any changes to it other then simply rooting it,

no flashing done otherwise. I just happened to notice this tonight before going to bed.

Also note that I do not have wifi turned on, and I wasn't running anything at the time either that should be

draining it more then a charger should put out. I have also tried charging it using the charger that came with

the vibrant and a second charger I bought.

I have only seen one post related to this on Google.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-vibrant/33383-battery-discharging-error.html

Update: I can tell you that my % has gone down, from 30% to now 20%, still discharging..

Also Screen Brightness is set to lowest, WiFi Off, and not running any applications in the background,

on original vibrant rom.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
what charger are you using? and do you have another that you can test? Also if you're charging VIA usb port on your laptop have you installed the samsung drivers, if not install the samsung USB drivers, if you have then try a different USB port.

its doubtful its the phone, far more likely the USB port, charger or cable
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwertyAccess:
I have charged it with 3 different chargers, and cables from different computers and usb ports, as well as in wall charger,

the samsung usb drivers are installed and i'm able to access adb.

My computer also has 3 powered usb hubs.

The battery kept draining, till the phone shut off and restarted on its own

after receiving a charge from the charger, so i'm wondering if maybe some

other people might be able to notice this behavior at all.

When it restarted on its own it said it had 60% battery from 0% right before charging,

so I am wondering if perhaps some people's phones are doing this in the middle of the night.

After restarting the phone charges normally starting at a really high %.

Could this be caused by software problems on the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
that is crazy... you certainly have ruled out a charger problem.

Was this just a one time thing and after the restart it's charging normally?

if it's still acting up you could try flashing the original rom via odin or to be safe take it back and exchange it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwertyAccess:
People might not be realizing theres a discharging problem

Yeah has only happened once that I've caught so far, so thats why i'm trying to raise a little bit of awareness,

seeing that other post on androidcentral it seems like some people got to be having this problem.

Maybe they just don't realize it. Its not something you'd notice plugging the phone in before bed.

For now it seems fine after a restart, its possible that its a problem that occurs after the phone has been on for so many hours,

and perhaps a memory leak occurs of some sort. It could even be Samsung's poor attempt trying to recondition the battery somehow.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
I have had some odd occurrences where I have grabbed my phone off the charger first thing in the morning and found it around 30%. Rebooted it and it charged normally. I think this has happened twice now. I didnt notice anything while I had it plugged in so I can't say if it said discharging or not.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwertyAccess:
Maybe what you could do is go to the phone settings, scroll to the about section and check out the battery status next time that happens.

On the larger scale of things, this could be a fairly common issue that noone

is taking a look at.

It could be related to why some people are having very poor battery life

and why the battery meter can be really inaccurate.

If your phone discharges itself completely, reboots thinking its at 60% battery life,

I can see that causing many problems that you just wouldn't see since people

just plug their phone in and go to bed.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmattmanz:
Yes! I have this problem all the time. A restart will fix it but often I will plug it into a wall charger or car charger and my Battery Indicator Pro will say "failure". Battery life is also horrible.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
This is caused by running 2.2.1 roms I think. Only got it once and was on such a rom. A restart will fix it. Its possible you didn't flash good as I have never gotten it since. Its a rom issue though.

this is happening to me, right now. i've had it happen once before, i shut down, pulled the battery, replaced it and booted. it charged fine afterwards. but i don't want that as an answer.

mine is at 84 hours uptime, i don't remember what it was last time i had this issue. whats weird is i was just charging at work not 30 minutes before i got home and plugged it in to charge. worked fine half an hour ago. but not now.

i've got a stock vibrant on 2.2. wonder what's causing this.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itstheshawnp:
ive had a battery issue similar to this. my battery never discharged while plugged in, but after flashing a 2.2.1 rom(bi-winning) and then installing "battery left" and reconditioning my battery, the "battery left" app had a roughly 18% difference in battery charged then the system...as the syatem read the battery as being lower then the app showed i had. it would shut off with "low battery" when the app said i had about18% left. after flashing again and reconditioning my battery again the problem went away...could be some software setting somewhere!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnutz:
I had this same issue and it is caused by the USB port not supplying enough power. One of the reasons USB takes so long to charge is it doesn't have the power output that the wall adapters can provide. Sometimes when the phone is active or running something heavy it actually uses all the power being provided by the USB and some of the battery and that is why it says the phone is discharging because it is. Try using the wall adapter that came with it and you will see this problem go away as it provides more than enough power to charge the phone even under heavy use. Keep in mind that kernel mods aimed at speed usually cause the phone to use more power and if you are running games and stuff it is easy to burn up what little juice a USB port affords making it also rely on the battery and thus not charging the phone.

Sometimes the most obvious answer is the correct one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orikon:
I've been using the wall adapter and it still happens. This discharge is when I put it on charge while I sleep. I doubt it would discharge from that.

I'm sorry guys. I can't recall anymore. That was years ago I shoulda just posted it. I guess I thought no one cared anymore. It wasn't the battery tho or the charger. It was a software thing.

what you need to do is put your desire in recovery and use adb to delete google maps. just mount /system/ and use the command rm /system/app/maps.apk then you can just reinstall google maps from the market

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeO69:
You can also try this, did it yesterday and working fine.

To remove Google Brut so you van instal the original Google Maps follow the steps. Works fine.

1.

Remove the following files from your phone.

The first two files (red) I did not delete but temporary renamed with Root Explorer to com.google.android.maps.jar.old and com.google.android.maps.xml.old

com.google.android.maps.jar in system\framework

com.google.android.maps.xml in system\etc\permissions

maps.apk in system\app (delete this one from phone)

2. Reboot

3. Extract Maps.apk from the downloaded ROM file. Find it in system\app

4. Copy back or rename back the xml & jar file, and install the maps.apk from the removed rom manually using htc sync or the way you normaly install a APK file.

5. Reboot

6. Uninstall Google Map. You uninstal the installed version from step 4.

7. Reboot to recovery, clear cache & dalvik cache

8 Install google map from market

9. Done

goldcard rather important, turn your current storage media into a gold card and put the data back on afterwards, then you wont see this problem again
[Desire General] DaannRoz:
I had the same problem.

No WiFi and hotspot after ota.

This because i forgot to put in my goldcard...

Easiest way to fix it is to make a goldcard, then get the .zip file from the 2.10.405.2 update and place it on the goldcard.

Rename it update.zip.

Put the goldcard in your phone.

Then enter recovery mode (reboot your phone, when turning on hold the lock button and volume down button)

Select recovery in the menu you get, then wait, after a while it shows you a few options. Choose the option to run the update.zip.

Done, everything works perfectly.

Its really easy, only making the goldcard out of an SD requires a little searching/reading.

Good luck!

Edit: forgot to say it doesnt erase any data, like apps and contacts.

Just be sure if you use your current SD card as goldcard to copy everything to your pc before making it. Then you can put it back later on.
