Hey guys I would like to get some feedback from you on what you do to get the best battery life. especially if you class your self as a power user or use the device for work purpose as well.

With me I have exchange email running for my work email, i have my hotmail/live account in real time sync and without even using it for calls I was probably getting to midday before the battery was depleted. I have bought my self the extended heavy duty "JayLo" battery which gets me through the day.

I do prefer to have the screen on full brightness as I am on the move and have 3G/HSDPA enabled as i need to check emails/browse to links to download files/attachments.
[HD2 General] Mark Crouch:
You've posted in the HD2 forum but your sig says Touch PRO :confused:

In any event, you could try a number of things to squeeze a bit more life out of your battery.....

1. Make sure BT / WiFi are OFF except if/when you need to use them.

2. If your phone is unlocked, try another radio - if signal strength is an issue where you are, your phone could be spending a lot of time/power searching for and/or hanging on to a decent signal.

3. Change the "peak times" values for ActiveSync to just be 09:00 to 17:00 (or appropriate working hours) and set the frequency to be "every 5 mins" or so - I don't think waiting 5 minutes for an email is OTT; they can take longer than that to arrive sometimes by the time several mail servers have virus scanned them half a dozen times!!!

4. Close any unnecessary applications; it won't make that much difference to your overall power consumption but, as the saying goes, "every little helps"!!!

See how you get on with that lot - I'm sure others will have some input before too much longer ;)

Mark.
[HD2 General] Killbillprime:
hey thanks- god its been so long since i had that device never got around to changing my sig...

Do you use exchange email on yours. iv found i always get random lags on custom roms that im using when iv got exchange email running. i normaly just sync past month... stock roms are as stable as anything for me just damn borning to look at! lol

[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
actually thinking back, isnt the boot on the vibrant a .qmg file? the zip from OP has 3 folders part0 part1 part2 all three folders have a bunch of jpgs. so correct me if im wrong, but unless there is a way to convert the jpgs to a qmg file and replace the /system/media im guessing bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg we are SOL?

But they could be converted to a shutdown sequence....

This thread contains all the currently known information on modifying boot animations.
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
I already found that. The thread is for [REF] *Update - 8/30/10* Change or remove boot down sequence. What the OP posted was "BOOT UP" which requires setting it up into a QMG file in /system/media

bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg

The modification of dragging files into that folder are for shutdown. The boot up is a little bit more complicated.
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
right, i have already created my bootdown sequence

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7633547&postcount=88

Which is simple. I havent seen where they have been able to create/modify/multiply/divide :) QMG files.....course i haven't dug very deep...
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
That thread was updated with information on modifying boot up as well and is the main thread for both subjects. The title just has not been updated. I just updated that thread with more info on the QMG format.

[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
No. you're wrong unless my eyes are deceiving me. The only thing that thread has in regards to bootup is replacing your bootup with the I9000 which is already done. You have to make your own QMG file.

That thread doesn't tell you how to make your own startup sequence. Stop arguing with me, thanks.

Edit: Found this on the original post.

Filename: d2_r2d2_pu.ogg

File description: R2-D2 Boot Sound

Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XD80IDMW

Probably would work if converted to .wav.. would work for Shutdown (Shutdown_128.ogg in /system/media/audio)
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Well that's a step forward.... Also On my computer it shows QMG as a Unix Executable File, a Unix system should be able to open and edit any qmg file. Wonder if we can open the vibrants original qmg replace the images with theses and push to phone.

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
well there is something called the QMG project, which seems to be sometime of mesh/3d modeling software. the qmg here is some type of image file, the image type is called qmage (i think) and i havent found anywhere on the internet on how to open/edit/create/convert a qmg file.......yet.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Sane1:
QMG file format is called qmage and its by quramsoft. it is a proprietary format. http://quramsoft.com/solution_e/qmage.asp

The encoding tool, decoder library are also proprietary. Finding any documentation on it is going to be hard, unless someone knows someone at a company who uses it and is willing to... leak it? Or pay quramsoft for it.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:

I am flashing stock now to figure this out. Looks like it should be pretty simple.
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
I'm no dev, but wouldn't the logical path progression with this be to move away from qmage entirely? Would it be easier to see if some dev would be willing to find out how to modify the vibrant to not use qmage files at bootup, but something similar to the shutdown and use a folder with jpeg's or png files?
[Vibrant Android Development] zaduma:
Yes. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=779718
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
+1

Proprietary files/file systems, are more headache than what they are worth. if we can find a way for the kernel/rom to call a list of pngs or something similar to how the shutdown sequence is organized, it will be fully customizable, and we can get away from this .qmg crap.....i guess once we get something like cm6........

I'm running the latest Freshevo ROM. Going thru a 4G area and it keeps notifying me that their is a 4G network available...it says connecting to sprint and then goes back to "Searching"

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] Mr. Monkey:
I've posted this same question over in the Q&A forum. But I'm on Fresh 3.1.0.2 with Netarchy's Fresh Kernel. My 4g just gets stuck at scanning. Someone suggested checking to see if your MAC address (menu-settings-about phone-hardware info) matches the MAC address under your battery.

Mine does and I still dont get anything. If yours doesnt.... search for MAC address fix.

Someone also suggested deleting a trees.xml, but I dont know what that does so I havent done it yet.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
I have been able to connect in the past week without problem on fresh 3.2.

Today I tried to connect and I get the same thing you are seeing, it tries to authenticate, then drops back to scanning.

I know the 4g in my area is not "live" yet but has been stable for a few weeks.

I checked with another evo user here and they cannot connect either.

I don't think its a ROM or a phone problem. See if anyone else in your area can get 4g before you start mucking with your phone.
[EVO 4G General] xbox4414:
I wish I could ask others but I'm on a train...we are passing thru a 4G area. We stopped at a station for 10 minutes where I rebooted and turned on 4G and still just "searching"

Gonna check MAC now...
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
4g cannot jump from tower to tower. If you are on a train, you are likely jumping to different towers before you can connect.

From what I have read, 4g is only good for about 2 miles.
[EVO 4G General] xbox4414:
Makes sense, we weren't moving at one point and it was disconnecting. Then we got to our next station and it connected. Got it and then we started moving again. So looks like the wimax radios do work for me...hmmm.

this should be in the Q&A section. I beleive it uses touch wiz which has already been ported to the evo (though i could be wrong) also there is an Epic theme in the theme/app forum that gives it a similar look. for the app bucket you can use ADW to get the slide to side version.

[Droid 2 Android Development] MikeyNick:
So I just bought my Droid 2 the other day and could not resist the temptation to root it. Well, that process was easy enough through tutorials on here, but now i've stumbled upon a problem. When I awoke this morning, there was a notification to update to 2.2.20 (i had rooted it with 2.2.19).

No serious issues here... the update went fine and no bricking or anything. I still have all my apps and my current phone version is 2.2.20. My problem is that I lost the root-enabled features! superuser permissions is still an app, but the apps that access root are unable to (barnacle, setCPU, etc).

I'm not sure if this is as simple as going through the process again, or since it's been rooted do i need to do something different this time? I'm somewhat familiar with UNIX so i shouldn't need a fully dumby-proof explanation, but I'm not familiar enough where a barebone explanation will do it either. If anyone can help it'd be great. No rush though, phone still works i just really miss my wifi tether!
