[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catmandu:
I can confirm that my gf's phone and my good buddies phone(both were never rooted) have never had a problem with the phone charging up slow first off(both phones charge about 1% per minute). And since they accepted the OTA, have not had the problem of charging to 100% and quickly jumping down to 90%. For instance, the other day my buddy charged his phone while on to 100%, played a game for about 2 minutes and closed it, battery was at 99%. Now I have tried and continually try every possible solution to my battery dying quick and charging slow, but am realizing that this must just be the cost of customizing my phone to my liking. And at least for the moment, a stock 2.2 DINC is just not an option for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillmeow:
Sorry that I posted in the wrong forum. I thought this is related to the kernel or ROM I am using (Which is development right????).

Not to question your knowledge about the "battery technology", but why is it only happening to certain people? Nowadays most device are using Li-ion battery, why this phenomenon do not occur to all devices?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillmeow:
This is not RANT. I simply want to find the cause and solution. Why this happened only to some D'Inc and not D'Inc?

Anyone can skip this topic if he/she does not want to be bothered by this question, does not want to involve in this conversation or does not see this problem.

I am simply stating the fact and problem. I love this phone, but I love to see some improvements at the same time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillmeow:
But again,

Thank you all who are interested in this topic, and seeing this as a problem (or not).

larsrya8 and cu-n-az

I came from iPhone, and I love how open Android is. If you're saying hey this is just how the battery work, there's no problem, go on get a bigger battery (which I did), stop the rant, how are you much different than Steve Jobs (except he probably has more money)?

Just maybe "I'm(You're) Holding It Wrong"
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cu-n-az:
Solutions in search of a problem - part 2

First off, "END OF RANT" was signifying the end of MY rant. Don't take it personally. You can end yours (or not) as you see fit.

Second, if you read the previous posts, the probable reason some see this issue and others don't was clearly stated. To recap, it has to do with if, how, and when battery stats are reset and whether (and how) folks are "bump charging". It might also be true that certain batteries actually do drop voltage a little more than others upon first use off the charger. Who knows?

It was actually probably quite smart of HTC to ship the phones without a numeric battery gauge. For most folks "pretty much all green", "kinda in the middle", and "gettin' pretty low" is all the info needed and avoids a whole lot of needless hand-wringing and upset.

My post was intended to reassure folks that (in my opinion) there is no real battery drain problem and what they are seeing is a natural effect of how batteries work, combined with tinkering (on purpose or not) with how the phone reports battery charge. The difference between me and Steve Jobs is that I don't believe there is a problem (and I've told you why) while he was trying to cover up a real problem to avoid corporate costs and embarrasment. There are other differences between us, but that one is the one relevant to this discussion. :)

We root our phones, install new ROMs and kernels, and generally tinker because we are able, curious, find it interesting and fun. I'm just suggesting that we concentrate that energy on real problems that affect use of our phones or changes that can improve the use of our phones. It's only a suggestion. The beauty of the Android system is that we each can do as we please. If you are tremendously bothered by the initial "battery drop" please feel free to try to "fix" it. If it turns out that I'm wrong and you discover a "cure" we'll all be indebted to you. Meanwhile, I'm choosing to not worry as long as my phone lasts as long as I need it to and I see no indications of a real problem with the battery.

Live and let live...

END OF (MY) RANT.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melophat:
This makes sense, except that when I've bumped charged, i've been able to get at least 2-3 hours+ more use out of my phone before it shuts itself off. if it were just a calibration issue, not an actual battery charge issue, then i would get the same amount of time out of a real charge from "full charge" to physical shut off, as the calibration would be the only thing that is different, not the actual physical amount of juice left in the battery.

just .02 on it from someone who knows probably just enough about electrical componants to get himself in trouble.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillmeow:
Guys,

I've tried unplug the phone when the battery just reaches 100% and I wiped the battery stats. The phone stayed at 100%, and dropped to 92% overnight instead of dropping to 92% in minutes.

This is done without bump charge. However, I charged it up to 100% in the morning, and wait a long time before unplug the AC cord. I found out that the battery will again drop quickly from 100% to 97%, but not into low 90%.

I am guessing and suspecting two things

1) The phone is disabling the battery charging and start using battery after it reaches 100%. (This could cause the quick drop, but doesn't explain the battery usage is still good)

or

2) The battery is still charged at 100%, but the battery counter/battery stats/or something else is messed up. (This explained I still get good battery life)

Anyone has any other idea?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texanaustinite:
I never noticed a 5-10% drop on the Eris whether it was running, 1.5, 2.1 or 2.2.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillmeow:
I don't think this happens to everyone. Do you do bump charge?

I know some people have this issue, but some don't.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texanaustinite:
Unfortunately, yes.

The fact that HTC is aware of the issue and is actually telling people to 'bump charge', just irks me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooksalot:
You know It only just occurred to me perhaps it has to do with if these were manufactured in different plants. Or maybe it's night shift, day shift, swing shift. :confused: Or perhaps "I gotta raaise!" vs. "What do you mean I have a bad performance review and no raise!" Because so far (knock on wood, cross my fingers) I haven't seen this problem. Unless I play a really intense game like "PK".
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillmeow:
Last night I turned off my phone to charge until morning. I turned the phone on this morning, and the quick drop is GONE! I don't know if this will occur when I charge again.

But this is a software issue, people!

I'll try a full wipe and let you guys know.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
Told you. Though, that had nothing to do with wiping the battery stats.

Wow, surprising... :rolleyes:

You obviously didn't read my earlier post, so let me quote the last part again:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillmeow:
larsrya8

Yes, I should read your post more closely, but your explanation didn't explain why this phenomenon does not happen to everyone.

I still think that this is a software bug, so it's not that "we cannot fix it". It's just how.

If this happens to all the Li battery, I should see this on original iphone, iphone 4, and many other devices. The question is how did they solve this issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catmandu:
Wondering if anyone else has this weird situation. If I charge my phone while on(never tried off) for lets say 20 mins and its at 40%...If I restart the phone, it always jumps up quite a few %.

Thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
that's probably because you don't have the APN settings in your phone. either google their APN or just call Orange and ask them to give you the information that you need.

if one you pro could give me a list of all the bloatware that is safe to delete i would appreciate.

also i notice that with TI backup i can delete bloatware like nascar but i can only backup data i can't back up the apps, and i cant restore the app.

how can i back up the bloatware apps to be able to restore later on?

thank in advance for you help

ps. htc evo is already rooted.

Strange, using Titanium BU I was able to save those apps and then uninstall them. Haven't tried to reinstall them though.

Oh, and I deleted Nascar, Sprint NFL, Sprint Nav, Sprint TV and it's widget. Gonna use the phone for a week to see what else I don't need.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to elaborate on this?

The process you went through to achieve this, that is.

You need root explorer or something. You can look at all of the files, get into the system directories, and delete most of this stuff.

I can't locate Sprint Football or Hotspot to remove them.

I love Tasker. It does cost a small bit but the customizable profiles are awesome.

Im sure some of you are like me and had a touch pro or touch diamond, those who did might remember the clock would have a flip animation. When I got my eris I was sad when it just changed and didn't flip, when I got my incredible and it didn't flip I got mad.

But today I saw a video on engadget and for a spilt second I saw the desire gd actually have the flip animation. Seeing as the specs are pretty much the same, does anybody think they can port it over to the incredible?

Also I saw a new widget on the g2, it looked like a new latitude widget.

And what about the cached maps? Can we port that?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanskl:
Greetings :)

I just bought a TyTN II from ebay.. I thought it would be a nice addition to my ever so small collection of PDA's, and it was relatively cheap.

Here's the link (remove spaces):

ht tp://c gi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260569169356#ht_3409wt_1276

Now, the seller claims it to be 100% oem, but I'm not completely sure.. In case it's a knockoff, I'll use Paypal to get my refund:rolleyes:

So my question is, what do you guys think? is this the real deal, or just another fake TyTN II? I've heard about the knockoffs, but I havn't seen anyone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
You call that cheap? That's the real deal though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanskl:
yeah well, it's about 1/4 of retail price back in the days :p it's not too bad for nice little gadget like that :D

the auction doesn't display any photos of the actual phone, but I'm pretty confident that it's a legit OEM phone by the description, price and the claims made by the seller that it's "100% brand new & genuine or money return", even though it ships from HONG KONG :p

Anyway, what would a knockoff be like? and what's the price for one of those? What would one look for, in order to spot the knockoffs?

Cheers:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanskl:
Sorry for bumping this thread, but can anyone else confirm this is the real deal, so I can have some peace of mind?:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Show us some real picks of it and we will tell you 100%

We know about this phone not the knock off's. If it doesn't look like the one in the pics then it's not what it says it is. It's a 3 year old phone, I wouldn't worry so much about knock off's.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanskl:
Well, that would be like getting a picture from e.g t-mobile of the specific device you're gonna order. The seller is a powerseller with several (10+ in description) htc tytn II's.. When I ask him he keeps reassuring me that the phone is as described with official specs and pics from HTC and that it's 100 % brand new & genuine.

Would you feel good about this, or would you prepare for a full refund? :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanskl:
Well, I just got my Kaiser :D Eventhough it's a KAIS100, it has a front camera in addition to the rear-facing one. HTC could confirm it was the real deal, but... i think about the ONLY thing OEM in the package was the phone.... There were 3 chargers in the package (none of which fit !!!!) and i'm not too sure about the battery which said DynaPack on the outer side, and had å chrome-like inner side.

and btw, the battery is behaving weird. the phone takes a very long time to charge. lets say i have 50% battery, and i start charging for 30 min, and i end up with 55% battery.. then i reset my phone, and upon boot i all of a sudden have 82% (for instance)... i don't know if it's just old, or fake..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
I have had three batteries so far for my Kaiser. One was the " chrome type " back, that was the original and the other two were cheap replacement batteries that were all black except for the terminals. They all worked the same.

I would just buy a new battery , seeing as the phone is new to you. Might as well start out with a new battery too.. If HTC ran the serial number and says the phone is legit, I wouldn't worry about wether it is real or not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
DENNCCOOOO

What he said.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanskl:
Well, it seems its actually a modified AT&T Tilt with a added front camera. Void seals were broken, I think both front and backcover is fake, and the voicedialbutton doesn't show a image of a "speech bubble" but PTT (which seems to be used on AT&T phones)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papabear:
An ATT Tilt is still a Kaiser..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Ok, a Kaiser has a front camera, does the Tilt?

That's pretty strange, they replaced everything but the insides? The Keyboard isn't from a tilt (as far as I could tell).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanskl:
Yeah, very strange indeed. It seems as they took a tilt, put on a front camera, changed the housing and keyboard (it's not even a wwe keyboard - it has some chinese letters and other layout on the Fn-keys) and hspl'ed the phone with the first OliP0f hspl.... Either way, after confronting the seller, he did admit that it wasn't a unlocked HTC TyTN II, because they got the best prices on these phones from carriers... He also proposed to give me a 70 USD refund, and a HTC bluetooth headset as a compensation, after i expressed my dissapointment with the phone.

Well, i'm still not sure if the battery is OEM, and also if the housing and keyboard is OEM, but i guess i'll never know for sure :p

Did they change it because it now reads:

Just the Z, no HD?
[Desire HD General] FtrV8:
Well if you look at HTC's site for the specs on the Desire they list all Asian/Europe bands, but one can purchase the the Rogers HTC Desire and it will work on the AT&T network.

I am hoping the same happens with the Desire HD. Hope Rogers picks it up so AT&T customers can purchase that one.

Additionally I hope they aren't using ClearPad 2000 on it.
