Just remember that the current kernel wants advanced config to match the units, which are mAh x 1.6
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pachuau86:
I set the capacity of my battery in advanced 1600 * 1.6 (my battery is Cameron Sino 1600mAH) but even if i connect the charger for over 8 hours the battery only reaches 40% and dropped gradually to 25% while still connecting the charger. Did i do anything wrong???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
I had a Cameron Sino 1600mAh battery. Maybe it was old, maybe it was defective, but it seemed to me to be unbelievably bad. Could you please capture a dmesg log for me?

Two ways to do that:

1) OSMonitor app, Message tab, menu -> Export Log

2) In a terminal emulator: dmesg | tee /sdcard/dmesg.txt

or: dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt (but the kaiser keyboard doesn't have a ">")

The only way your phone will decrease charge while on the charger is if it is drawing more current than the charger supplies. Is that possible? Maybe, if you use every bit of hardware at the same time, like camera, WIFI, 3G, GPS, bluetooth, keyboard backlight, and a really bright screen. I've never tried that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pachuau86:
Nope... i dont use wifi, bluetooth and gps, 3g data was turned off. Also when charging it can only reached 99% and not 100%

Also the battery works fine... i use it for the whole day and it said 1% i left it overnite and it was still running on 1% and then in the morning i used it for a few minutes of 3g... still worked fine... :)

after this problem i reflashed the kernel and changed the battery settings to simple 1600 mAH... several reboots including removing battery twice... so should i still send u the dmesg?? or will it change after that??

sorry newbie here..

EDIT: Sorry... using Froyo and it crashed... had to reinstall... so i suppose the dmesg for that time wont be available now
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
No problem. Your initial report was confusing, but later you said that the battery reaches 99%. That is a problem I have seen before. I believe it is caused by your phone having a lower than usual voltage when on a charger and fully charged.

The 1% issue is also known. That means the battery is not really as discharged as the meter thinks it is. The question is how you got there.

I have two guesses:

1) The battery is weak and drops voltage more than usual when not charging and being used with high discharge. The symptom of this would be that the battery meter drops from nearly charged to nearly empty instantly. If this is happening, I don't know a fix today. You might send me dmesg logs, but I can't promise anything.

2) The battery has more capacity than it was configured for. This would be caused by a mis-configuration with atools. If you use the simple settings, enter your battery capacity in mAh (1600 for you). If you use the advanced settings, enter your battery capacity X 1.6 (2560 for you). Look at the "adjusted" value in dmesg, see if that is significantly more or less than the configured units (which is shown as the divisor).

Example: Right now, my phone says this:

[29834.655296] ds2746: 3977mV 66mA charge: 60% (1302/2160 units, 2054 adjusted)

That means:

Voltage: 3.977 V

Current: 66 mA (charging)

Charge: 60%

Units now: 1302

Configured units (advanced setting in atools): 2160 = 1350 X 1.6

Adjusted: 2054

That means that my phone at some time after I last booted has reached a full charge when it thought it has about 106 units left to go. That's close enough I would ignore it.

If you set the advanced settings to your capacity without multiplying by 1.6, you might see your phone reach 1% for a long time, and you'll see the adjusted number growing toward what you should have set, like this:

ds2746: 3140mV -266mA charge: 1% (0/1600 units, 2530 adjusted)

If instead you see 0/2560, with adjusted being significantly higher or lower than you expect, that would be interesting.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pachuau86:
n2rjt, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation, it was really helpful. I dont think the battery is weak because it is new and had used it barely a month. today it was showing 1% and i decided to use it till it died but it lasted the whole day (but i used it only for a couple of text messages today), so it seems it has higher capacity than i entered.

I will try it again and report back here, IF theres anything to report out of the ordinary. :)

Thanks a lot again for taking the time to answer in detail...

EDIT: Right now i just reflashed the kernel after adjusting 1600*1.6=2560

I haven't charged my battery yet (still running on 1%) dmesg is showing:

ds2746: 3240mV -349mA charge: 1% (1/2560 units, 2169 adjusted)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
If you ever want a semi-accurate and fast battery calibration, shut down, pull out the battery, put it back, reboot. Since you might have swapped batteries, the kernel will ignore the old charge value and guess based on voltage.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pachuau86:
THanks for the suggestion... i have 1 more question if u dont mind. I checked the dmesg of my phone after charging full and using it to 1%

It said (1/2560 units, 2343 adjusted) , and it died seconds after that... Does that mean my battery capacity is close to this value (2343) ???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
Yes, treat that as a suggestion. Try it, see how well it works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pachuau86:
Thanks for all the help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
So pachuau86, did that value helped? I got a 1600 mAh battery too but I reached 2890 "adjusted" units just before it shutted down... (converted should be aprox 1800 mAh??) so i'm really really interested on how those values worked for you....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pachuau86:
i believe its semi-accurate... :) i am using it but i never let it drop dead, i always charge a few minutes after it reaches 1% , so i dont really know how much is left...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Good idea, it could be right and if it goes too low it is possible for it to go to deep discharge. That will really kill your battery life.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] object3d:
I have 2800mAH battery, what changes do I need to make in the Kernel settings in Atools so that it recognize that?

I did changes to the Advanced Battery settings in Atools but I don't see an impact. Plus when I try to open it again, changes don't seem to show the updated battery changes and it last only around a day like for normal battery.

Any help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I believe in atools in advanced you just enter capacity x1.6 . Have you tried that at all? Also it does take a bit of time for it to auto adjust.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
Maybe atools doesnt let the value go hgh enough for 2800 x 1.6. Someone posted that comment recently. You can edit atools since it is python. The range is set when the advanced widget is created.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
What is the max value?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
There are 2800 mAh batteries, so normal setting should include 2800 and advanced should probably allow up to 1.6 or 2 times that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Why even bother imposing a limit? I have seen even higher capacity batteries and it seems like a waste of code to include the limit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Limit is not the point. The app should allow me to insert the amps (Ah) of a truck battery.

The point is the stepping. Using the arrow we should have 1350 , 1600 , 2800 ... and any other values we should see fit. I think i once saw a 3000mAh bat.

Now, on the advance, no limit, no stepping. After all, its the avanced settings right??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] object3d:
Thanks for lots of replies but my question still remains what shall I do because I did in Atools and it doesn't seem to recognize the change I made. If there is need of changing a code, please paste it or like someone pointed that Atools should be extended the way it can tackle the battery level changes and multiply factor of 1.6/2 is taken care of by the Atools.

I can't even get the damned thing installed on my EVO lol. After the update, it failed to install successfully and I can't figure out wtf happened.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neodorian:
I bought this game when it came out. Even if they sometimes look silly I like supporting devs who port to Android and don't charge a fortune. It's surprisingly addictive since you can get all the little unlocks and high scores. Hopefully they add the online p lay that the iOS version has/is getting (I forget).

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] imwillzillla:
I bought the game and let my son play it. I thought it was the dumbest thing until I saw his score. Then I spend the better part of an hour trying to beat it. I even forced my wife to play it. And while she tried to play it off like she couldn't be bothered with a "stupid cell phone game" It took me half the night to get my Evo back. Great game indeed. This and Galcon both boosted Android gaming greatly.
[Fascinate General] kvaughan:
I rooted the first day and also did lag fix. Worked fine until this afternoon I haven't installed anything today and the only root app on the phone was (besides SU, BusyBox, etc) Root Explorer. Suddenly today while trying to update Twitter and Facebook via the Samsung Feeds widget I get a "network communication error". So I pull the battery and turn the phone back on and I get a very long Verizon splash screen and then it goes black. The capacative keys will light up and blink when you touch them but no other phone action besides that.

Any idea for a fix before I have to go get a replacement? Tried to run the unlagfix batch file and of course I get permissions denied since I can't SU from the phone.

Guess I got a little excited before trying the basics, here's what I did to fix it in case anyone else has the same problem...

1. Wait for the boot animation to stop and get to the black screen

2. Connect USB to PC

3. Run cmd.exe

4. cd to your Android SDK tools directory

5. Run "adb reboot recovery"

6. Once the recovery menu comes up volume button down to "restore factory settings" and hit the home button

7. Volume down to "clear cache" and hit the home button

8. Reboot phone
[Fascinate General] Zennmaster:
Something similar happened to me on a BB and also on my original Droid.

What worked: Put it on the charger. Walk away, watch a ball game, or a movie and a half, get some food, think about something else for about four hours.

Come back and try again.

It's a weird thing with these devices. As near as I can figure, they can actually run the battery down faster than the OS/firmware realizes, and then they need a good bit of charge to get running again. In all of my own cases, running off of AC didn't help, either, which really freaked me out.

If it's still not working by morning, start thinking about taking it in.

Good luck!
[Fascinate General] kvaughan:
Updated, got it working.
[Fascinate General] Zennmaster:
Awww Right!
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
Next time, what you may be able to do is run adb logcat to view the realtime log from the phone to get an idea of what's going on.

It's also good to remember that the rage*.bin file that you put into /data/local/tmp is an exploit that should get you root access back temporarily.

Of course, the steps you outlined above are also very helpful. Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EvilDylan:
Forgive me if this has been discussed already but I haven't really found anything relating to it when I did a search.

I had started my wifi router when I was using my winmo, then I booted to android. I was at work and my friend noticed that my winmo wifi network was showing up on his phone even though I had been in android for the entire morning. He could even connect.

I had been having freezing problems and high battery drain problems so I thought maybe this could be something that is causing the problems. So as of right now I disable all my wireless communications within winmo before I start my android and things actually seem to run better. I don't know if this is just a fluke or what but I will know more in the morning, as my android almost never fails to freeze when I leave it in standby overnight.

What are your thoughts? Is this common practice to disable these things or is this something new?

Thanks.

Forgot to say I am using Kumars premium 2.10 ROM I think? and Froyostone sense V2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fruchtfliege:
maybe disabling connections in winmo helps with heavy battery drain, but i can't imagine that it helps with freezes, since they seem to be related to the g-sensor.

or do you have freezes that require a reboot?!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EvilDylan:
I still have freezes occasionally even with the G-sensor disabled with g-script. I get the SOD with NO button lights.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fruchtfliege:
what radio rom do you have? some people report that another radio rom fixed the sod's.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hastarin:
I disable my WiFi in Windows Mobile first.

You may be interested that I found a post suggesting the use of an app called "Lite Setting Profiles" to disable the WiFi when your screen turns off. This, along with having the G-Sensor disabled (SetCPU and Autokiller running as described in various places), seems to have solved my freezes and SoD.

In fact I'm currently testing with my G-Sensor enabled again to see if I can get away with it running as well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daemonfly:
Now that I think about it, yes, I do also see the WinMo version along side Andriod.

But... Even when I was just on WinMo by itself, I would see the Wifi in my laptop's list, even if I had WiFi on the phone turned off. I couldn't connect, but it always did show, so I've been used to it and haven't thought of it once I tried out Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EvilDylan:
I have 2.10.50 radio

Still getting SOD in fact it's getting really bad now. If my screen sleeps for more than 5 minutes I get the SOD.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kcaj32:
Here is my 2 cents on your wifi router story.

I doubt that wifi was still running on your windows ROM as windows is killed when android starts.

What I've noticed in the past is when I connect to the wifi router on my phone using my laptop, it remembers the connection for later. In fact, I've had times when my phone is off and my laptop still shows the phone router as available. I haven't tried connecting to it when its not actually available but my guess is that in your friend's case, he would not have been able to browse. His phone probably just showed as connected to your wifi router but did he try browsing something using that connection?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EvilDylan:
No he killed the connection before he tried to browse anything. My question is though how is the wifi router signal even being seen, i killed windows at home and when I got to work he saw it. That's my main question.

Also I changed my radio to 2.12

maybe that will help some.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
I had SOD with almost every build till I switched to the 2.12 radio and have not had one SOD since then.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EvilDylan:
I hope that's the case with mine. So far so good, but if im using it regularly it never seemed to SOD, but if i left it overnight it always SOD without fail.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jdmitr:
I had an odd thing happen as well. I had some wifi connection issues in Android and rebooted and turned wifi on in WM and then booted android. Once android was up I had a slow blinking Green LED..which I never get any LED lights on in Android.

if it is noisy [bad QoS] then the device selfsetup instructs to find an update and install [if applicable].

The PRI update works on the principal of it aint broke dont fix it...

and it if is broke then it goes to

|check 1x/ good= false\ grab *.* push *.*\ else /quit|

not the exact namestrings and whatnot but i hope it makes things clearer

and though it affects the 3g portion of the radio, im also quite inclined to believe that it only cares of the phone call (1x) quality when checking
