[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
So I think I have read that it is not good for the battery to leave it plugged in on a full charge. Last night I went to bed at 3 am on a 30% charged battery. I THOUGHT it was at 50% when I went to bed but looking at juice plotter I was wrong. At 8 am, according to juice plotter, the phone died. I missed my alarm and was late to work (my new job I have had for 2 weeks btw...doh!).

The screen was off and I have setCPU to underclock the CPU to 400 max 200 min when the screen is off. With the screen on and battery set to <80% the phone is underclocked to 800 max and 400 min. Basically the only time I have the CPU set to 1000 mhz is when it is plugged in.

Anywho, my question is this: Can I keep my phone plugged in while I am sleeping to insure this doesnt happen again without killing the longevity and usefulness of the battery? I know this time was mostly my fault with the battery being at only 30% when I went to bed, but I am trying to find a good balance between optimizing the battery and making sure this doesnt happen again.

Its how i charge mine every night for a month now. And no issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrigan:
Have you paid for Juice Defender? If not i'd recommend it. I've spent the massive $4 for this app and like the rest of the customization for the power configuration. I used to leave my captivate on the charger all night but I don't anymore.. Not sure why your phone died on you, how do you have Juice Defender configured?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberGoat:
With a low battery level, you should charge your phone for anywhere from 8-12 hours. Battery indications are generally always incorrect. When your phone says it is at 100% after a few hours, that is incorrect. That is generally how it is for all electronics.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
SetCPU has known issues with all SGS phones, Captivate included.

I had my phone depleted to 10 to 15% quite a few times now and I had no problem with charging. And I always leave my phone plugged in whenever I'm home.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
You should be fine leaving the phone plugged in. The smart part of the charger is in the phone. You will get repeated charge complete notifications i think.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
I have the free one. I must not know what exactly it does. I thought it just plots what the battery is doing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
Should I take setcpu off my phone? I know there are kernel issues I believe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
What's the benifit of the setCPU other than crash your phone ? :)

The biggest battery hog is always the screen display. If you're running stock JF6 ROM, it is well over 60% of the battery usage. Newer firmware does a better job controlling the screen brightness but still amount to 50% of the battery usage. The second biggest battery hog is 3G data transfer (or wifi data transfer if you primarily use wifi).

The saving from underclock the CPU will not be that much, IMO, other than make your phone feel slow I guess.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
I permanently underclock to 800 mhz when using battery power. It still seems quite snappy to me.

If it is known to crash the SGS a lot, I will take it off. Guess I need to do some more research.

Any tips on how to handle the display?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
Either flash to the newer beta firmware JH2/JH3 or manually dim the screen down. The automatic setting doesn't work well in JF6 firmware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
SetCPU is used to overclock, underclock, set different CPU throttling profiles. I don't think running setcpu is going to effect how fast your system is by running in the background, it uses like zero cpu cycles. My set up is currently the hybrid rom, setcpu oc to 100 to1.2 interactive and with the screen off 100 to 600 conservative. Ultimate juice defender set to turn wifi and 3g on only when certain apps are running that I picked, along with being one 1 min every 15. I'm getting about 36 hours a charge with average use, and I use about 1% an hour to every 2 hours in standby. My little juice defender score thing hovers around 2.33.

Setcpu does have good advantages, just learn how to set it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
I didn't mean setCPU itself use much CPU cycles, but rather by manually underclock the CPU to slow it down.

I see in your setup, you turn off the 3G data hence get better battery life. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. As I have 3 push email accounts: one Gmail, two Exchange Accounts which requires constant 3G connection.

If you leave the Juice Defender off, how much extra battery life do you get by under clock your CPU? One post I read that states once he removed SetCPU, his battery life actually improves.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
Do you guys use JuiceDefender as an alternative to a Task Killer or side along with it? and does it work well with the captivate?

I keep myself plugged all night ALL the time and I'm also constantly on the phone from at least 12AM to 4AM while plugged in during that time. Haven't had problems so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
Im patiently waiting for an official update. If it doesnt come by the end of my 30 days (which is 28 days away) at ATT, back the phone will go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkVasyaK:
maybe something wrong with radio rom? (or how it is called)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
If your phone stays in weak signal area a lot, that could kill your battery quick as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseone:
Yeah that happens to me, happened on my iPhones as well. My signal constantly switches between no signal, gprs, edge and 3G, it is never consistent and the searching just kills battery life. AT&T have been getting deluged with reports via the AT&T Mark the Spot app so hopefully they address the gap in coverage here soon!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Main Target:
Semi on-topic question. Is there a way to test battery health? I used to be able to get 36 hours on a single charge, and my phone was loaded with a ton of widgets and crap. Now I am lucky to get 12 hours and I have zero widgets, wifi always on, and a black lockscreen/background. Also running stock free juice defender.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Main Target:
Also, does anyone have an issue where they unplug their phone, and its already at 99% even after a full night of charging?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwxiao:
I had this problem when I just started using my phone. Now it doesn't happen anymore.

Last night I unplugged the phone at around 12am. This morning I woke up at 7am, it was still at 100%... I have push gmail, genie weather update every 1h. I was really surprised.

Btw, I am on stock OS. No root, no task killer or whatsoever. Installed ADW though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vhero:
I been going round here and the web wondering how to do this. I have

hboot 0.83.0001

I made a gold card which seems to have worked out fine so far but no idea where to go from here about updating my phone from 2.1 3 network branded to a non branded firmware. I am not interested in any custom firmware or anything I don't care about extra apps I just want stable 2.2.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigyd76:
I was in exactly the same position as yourself, had a 3 branded desire with same bootloader.

I made a goldcard also but found I didn't need it, I used unrevoked3 to root the phone and install clockwork mod from which I installed a update.zip patch and then a rooted untouched 2.2 Rom and now the phone is still rooted, unbranded and running 2.2 like a charm. Sorry if this explanation is a bit vague.

The Rom I used was 2.09.405.8-update-bravo-stock-rooted-busybox-withradio-signed.zip
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vhero:
Boot your phone is rooted something I am not interested in really as I want Offical 2.2 unbranded. If I have to root temp to get there I don't mind going hrough the process providing its safe enough. I just don't see the point of rooting as the cons outweight the goals as some apps are starting to detect rooted phones now and refusing to boot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Go here:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/

username:shipped

password:shipped

and download this file to your PC:

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe

Once downloaded, connect your Desire to your PC and make sure HTC Sync says it's connected. Then run the RUU file you've just downloaded.

If your Gold card is correct it will allow you to flash the stock 2.2 ROM - you'll also need the gold card for future updates (either OTA or RUU)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Which apps? I've not heard of this issue.

BTW - you should edit your thread title, because your use of the word "Vanilla" implies that you want to try a non-Sense ROM which would require you to root.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vhero:
blizzard authenticator can detect if your phone is rooted and will not boot Blizzard say its for security reasons but I read on net it's not just this app that refuses to boot if it detects a root.

Thanks for this will probably try later I don't understand why I will need the gold card for future updates though??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You'll need your gold card because your phone is a branded phone - the CID code won't pass checks without the gold card, even though you've 'debranded' the handset
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasticbeaver:
Thank you all for this most informative thread, and apologies for the minor hijack.

I have a tmobile branded desire and would also like to be running the stock 2.2 with sense.

Will the above process work for me ?

I was hoping to get the OTA updates OTA however, is there a way of doing this ?

Also, are there any benefits to removing the carrier sim lock even though I have no intention of using an alternative carrier sim ?

Thanks for your time.

edit: I have read a bit more, and, now knowing the warranty issues, I will not be attempting to modify the CID

[Imagio General] empiremaster23:
So I am attempting to set up a VOIP calling solution to replace skype/fring after their spat. I'm using the google voice --> SIPGate/Gizmo --> Fring method with the iDailer/iContact app as detailed on lifehacker and other places (can't post external links yet).

Everything is set up correctly, as when I have SIPGate forward calls to my mobile number (using Verizon minutes) it works like a charm. However, despite the fact that the SIPGate control panel shows fring as a connected VOIP phone (fring is subscribed to SIP account properly) and fring rings correctly, when i attempt to pick up I get the following error dialog

"Unable to make a call. Please correct the date on your device and restart fring"

Any help would be appreciated. My device date is obviously correct. Fring is connected over 3G cellular broadband, and seems to do other things (like call fring-to-fring and AIM correctly).
[Imagio General] Geekaholic:
I'm having exactly the same problem on an HTC Tilt 2. Quite frustrating and I'd love to know if there's a solution.
[Imagio General] smartieepak2004:
When fring is booting...read the fine print and read its manufacturer date... i.e. mine said 2006-2008.

Then set your device date year in that range. Try that. That way i don't get that error message, however my phone freezes up as soon as i make a call. Working on that issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] urkrnboy90:
So I installed the gen.y dualboot but every time I use it to boot into Android, the backlight stays lit even when I lock the device (I did move the autobacklight file into the windows directory though). The only way to make the backlight stay off is to boot into winmo, turn off autobacklight, and then run haret.exe--which defeats the whole purpose of having gen.y dualboot.

Help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well, either don't use Gen.Y or ask them... I don't think this is really the best place to get support for Gen.Y TBH....

Just wondering cause I found where the sounds are stored, I'd rather have an iphone-ish type sound rather than the type writer sound I get now... anyone done such a thing?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] whiplash000:
If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say it's in /system/app/HTC_IME.apk . Before continuing, DO A NANDROID. Grab a copy of 7-zip, get the apk from your phone like this:

adb remount
adb pull /system/app/HTC_IME.apk

Open the apk directly using 7-zip, go to res/raw/effect_tick.ogg, and replace that file with whatever you want by simply dragging and dropping it into 7-zip (must be named exactly the same and it must be ogg-formatted). I recommend rebooting into recovery to push it back to your phone:

go to the mounts menu in recovery and mount /system
adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk

Done.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JAYNO20:
Yeah I found where they are located, I just wanted the file that sounded like an Iphone when typing. Anyone have that/know where to find it?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JAYNO20:
I have another app installed that has a sound for the keyboard that I want... Any idea where I could look to get that sound effect?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] M4gicM@:
Well pull the app from /data/app/THE_APP_NAME.apk run APKTOOL on it. You actually dont even need to do that, just unzip it, snag the sound. I will probably be under a folder called asset/sounds or something to that effect. Rename the sound file to the matching one in HTC_IME.apk then drop it in (you may need to convert it so it is the right filetype).

You may have to resign HTC_IME, im not sure.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JAYNO20:
OK its force closing now so I guess I do have to resign, how is that done?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] M4gicM@:
There are plenty of ways.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] M4gicM@:
Ok i just check my phone and I use a modified HTC_IME that is skinned. I was going to suggest using that one but when I went into options you can actually select what ever key noise you want (in ogg format).

Go here, create your keyboard, download it and then go into options to change the noises.

HTC_IME may have to be signed with the system (HTC) key since it runs under that uid.

Hi everyone!

I need help...

I'm running RUU_Rhodium_S2_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.07.707.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship_3 ROM on my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2.

It's been working great until today, I noticed that when I tap on All People in the Contacts tab, it brings up the HTC People UI but it's stuck in A.

Take a look at the screenshot I attached.

What do I do to restore functionality of this application?

I can't seem to find a way to restart it.

Repeated soft reset does not resolve the problem.

My last resort would be to use the WM Contacts but how do I change the link to Contacts?

Please advise me if you know how to resolve this problem.

Thanks!

Konker
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dsdmarin:
From the picture it looks like you have lost your contacts added to your phone. Did you synch to a new computer?

Try this:

Manually add a new contact, Once you start adding the contacts you should see the letters fill out.. If adding the contacts works then you might have lost the original contacts saved in your phone.. Did you back-up your original contacts anywhere?. If so re-synch and see if they reinstall on your phone..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] konker:
Thanks for your reply!

My contacts are still intact & I can search them from within the Phone UI but not via HTC People. They are synced with my Exchange account.

Got a Vibrant yesterday, installed Vibrant9, going to do the lagfix soon... I noticed, however, that when the phone is charging the screen is completely unresponsive. Like, it won't even register sweep to unlock. Other than that everything runs perfect and snappy quick... I can't believe I haven't even got the lagfix yet.

So yeah. Wondering if anyone knows how to fix this... not like it's a HUGE deal, I tend to charge overnight anyhow. But I'd like to fix this if anyone knows how.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] beano_2008:
I was wanting to put the uk3rom onto a previously orange branded phone.

I was told to boot up into recovery and flash the file splhard1_update_signed.zip.

Upon doing this my phone will now not start up?

I have also noticed that the charging light does not come on, when plugged in

(well no light comes on anyway)

I was asked to format the sd card and put DREAIMG.nbh on and then reboot using home and power/on. It didnt work

I took it to a local repairer but he said was bad flash and that it was now irrepairable. Another one, said it was beyond him *-(

I have since been told told that if i can find a repairer that uses ort jtag, they would be able to restore the boot,which will allow connection then 2 be made to pc. Then hopefully i can then flash original orange firmware back... is this possible guys?

Does anyone know of any such repairer in UK

Ummm, why were you flashing the spl for a dream?

And really if you do this, remember you're technically committing fraud, since you caused the damage to the handset yourself.

I am sure HTC will wise up to this "trick" pretty soon.

BTW, op, flash only hero roms on a hero. I'm sure you've discovered that now, but just reiterating.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] captainstu72:
If you can find the JTAG schematics for the Hero chipset, and find the right points it is possible to JTAG yourself.

You'll need an LPT port on a PC, HJTAG, NoICE Programs, some cable (I have previously used an LPT cable to JTAG a device) solder, some board to solder to, wire, resistors, and a logic chip.

If you're not up to that, which is possible due to the circumstances, buy a new phone, as you don't want to be commiting fraud now do you!
