Haha, that's why I asked... that and playing halo using tethering.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Wow. I'd make sure you have a tethering plan.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SicNside:
there is a 5gb limit. I went over and was charged for every kb or mb. When I talked to the tech they said u can pay for an extra 5gb to make it 10.. so unless they changed it I would not go over.. google it and u will find the full detailed info about that unlimited = the 5gm cap
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:
Verizon wireless website states in the fine print a 5gb limit. They have a calculator to estimate how much usage you can get out of 5gb depending on what you your data for.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivefour:
Show me this fine print..I blatantly asked the rep if there is an imposed monthly limit on data and he answered no. Their external hardware tethering (USB dongle) solution has a 5 gigabyte per month limit or if you tether your smart phone...ie a BlackBerry.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:
Upon checking VZW again, you are correct, the fine print is under mobile data via aircards and BB tether. I guess they don't expect anyone to exceed 5gb on a phone alone. I wouldn't be suprized if they raised an eyebrow on smartphone data usage that high though. It's the golden rule; the one's with the gold get to make the rules :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyboy1549:
Right now I'm up to 120G of data usage. No extra charge or anything like that.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snyluc13:
yeah ive torrented via tethering and used xbox live also and definitely exceeded that "5gb" and have gotten no extra charges to my account for it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivefour:
In the words of Joe Dirt..."daaaang"
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyboy1549:
Yeah. At one point early this week it was going up about 15 to 20 G's. A day.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4n0m4ly:
I called Verizon today and they said the "Data Plan" for the phone itself is unlimited, but for Tethering it would be $2/mb!! Is that because they assume we use some sort of Verizon approved app for tethering? How would they know the difference? I want to tether, but Im afraid to get charged a radical amount. I use "Wireless Tether", So it uses the actual data plan.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivefour:
Only if you were to use a Verizon licensed app would you incur tethering fees....wifi tether is fine to use in my experience. It is not impossible for Verizon to monitor your traffic...be aware there is always a possibility of incurring tethering fees..even if the likelyhood is small.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4n0m4ly:
Thank you for the Clarification. Well if people are using 50g/month I highly doubt that I would have a problem. I have even used 5gigs on just the hone alone last month, so I highly doubt that they would think something was up.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivefour:
I doubt it as well.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
Just searching around for a spare battery and found this

http://www.portablepowersupplies.co.uk/batterypackcomparison.htm

http://www.portablepowersupplies.co.uk/index.htm

I think it is really useful since you can charge your phone(1,2 or 3 times) ,psp,gameboy or even ipad and laptop depending on the model you buy.:)

i tought to share it with the rest of you.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tjotte:
I agree these pocket chargers are really great, i use one myself, or rather i did use one for my HTC Diamond. The problem with SE X10 is that it accept very few chargers so i just want to raise everyones attention before going out and buying one, make sure it will work with the phone! Also, SE has got their own pocket chargers that most certain should work. Dont know anything about effectivity or pricing. But, read before you buy.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
I'll just order one and see for myself.:D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astral07:
Tell us how it went :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outie:
This has been discussed before. The reason is that the X10 requires the USB data pins (D+/D-) shorted. This is either done at the adapter side or on the USB cable itself. You can find these "Charge-only" micro USB cables on ebay.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
So i posted this yesterday but due to the database error they are gone.

So i got the usb battery pack and tried it:

the result is great.

Charges the phone in 2 hours, they provided a cable that charges the X10 .

Build quality is also great.

And it fits my pocket.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devein:
I'm using self made battery pack for charging everything powered by USB - cost is about 2$ ;)

all you need is:

1. buy $2 4xAA battery holder

2. get USB connector with female plug (buy or rip off from old pc USB ;).

3. solder the usb + and - to holder outputs

4. for X10 to work solder usb data - and data+ lines with each other (like other chargers do - see pinouts.ru link for reference)

5. profit!!! ;)

4xAA rechargeable cells in series circuit (which is in battery holder) produce 4.8V output combined - so you dont have to convert the voltages, just solder the output :)

the capacity is the same as single battery - so if 4 x AA 2300mAh batteries are used you have about 2300mAh 4.8V output :)

pinouts.ru:

"Supplied voltage by a host or a powered hub ports is between 4.75 V and 5.25 V. "

this guy does that, with a littie bit more play on fitting it to can, painting it etc:

(i cannot post external links - search for "Build a 4 x AA USB Altoids Battery" on instructables.com)

one thing to be aware - this pack does not have any electronics to shut it off. so if you have empty battery pack and some of power in your phone, you'll see that this pack actually drains the power from phone :). so, control the situation every 15 minutes, or write and send me a suitable Tasker script ("if the phone is charging and the battery level is falling, play a sound ;) ")

anyway this pack helped me a lot on hiking trips, my X10 could record GPS track :]
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
Since I do not understand much of this I think I will stick with my usbbattery. :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtone:
Nice! I've been thinking of DIYing a backup battery myself. 9V battery and some resistors should do the trick :D

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] shatterpoints:
I've read a couple boot animation threads so far, I have a bootanimation.zip file I want to try out. For whatever reason I cannot understand how I am supposed to get it on my phone. My eris is rooted but I'm not sure what next. Do I need adb? can I run these .bat files floating around here from my sd card? For some reason I can't wrap my head around this and it is frustrating, can anyone clarify what a rooted user needs to have/ what commands to run?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
The easiest way would be to download EStrongs File Manager from the Market. Put the boot animation on your SD card, then open EStrongs and move the zip into the /System/Media folder. Make sure you only have 1 boot animation in the there. Enjoy.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] shatterpoints:
This does not work. It is not possible to copy from the sd card and put a file in my system folder

**edit, I see I needed to give estrong SU permissions. I got it to work just fine. Thank you.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
Glad you got it to work, and you're welcome.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
or u can use terminal emulator

su (enter)(to get root permisions)

cp /sdcard/(wherever your bootanimation.zip is) /data/local (enter)

reboot (enter)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] workshed:
You were so sure of yourself though! LOL ;)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] junk74:
Bit of a noob to all this, so work with me please...... I'm trying to replace the Cyanogemod boot animation that came with CELB froyo 2.6 rom. I have a new bootanimation.zip copied to my SD card. I'm using ES File Explorer with SU permissions and it wouldn't let me copy new zip file to: /system/media. Says copy failed. If I try to delete the bootanimation.zip in /system/media, it says file can't be deleted.

So then I went to my terminal emulator and typed:

su (enter)

cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local (enter)

reboot (enter)

And now I have not boot animation at all. It shows the bootscreen (3 skateboarding droids) then black screen, then lock screen

Where did I go wrong??

Update: removed bootanimation.zip and there was also a bootscreen.zip from /data/local. REbooted and cyanogemod boot screen came back.

I retried the terminal emulator and it worked!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] shatterpoints:
Just an fyi Sometimes you need to re assign SU permissions to estrongs. Just uncheck and then check the mount syst directory as writeable and it will work. Its kinda like re shareing a folder in windows. Sometimes shares drop for no reason or just need to be re shared.

ps. I dont like using the terminal but thanks for the simple commands, I've seen way to many different ways to change the animation. The above cmd's are simple and easy.
[Nexus One General] Macmee:
Heya,

I am getting an iPad and want to tether. I have root and can wifi tether but wouldn't that kill the battery life on the N1?

Is there any better options :(
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Tethering takes ~10-15% of battery per hour. Depends on the quality of your connection.

If you want to tether - you need to tether. No better or other options. And it doesn't require root.
[Nexus One General] mofoliar:
i have done the tethering and it works good, it was not for a long period of time so i cant give you accuracy on battery %..
[Nexus One General] Zephyron:
does the ipad have usb port by any chance?
[Nexus One General] mofoliar:
no it does not..
[Nexus One General] Sean_Dillon:
I use my N1 to tether it to iPad all the time & it works great on 3G or Edge (Bit Slow on Edge Though) I usually keep it charging while tethered if I can as stated above it really does suck the life out of the battery.
[Nexus One General] n1_m0ds:
i do this all the time with my ipod touch 4g. it works amazingly.
[Nexus One General] whorehay:
Works great for me. But if you want a more refined solution, you should probably go with the iPad with 3G and WiFi.
[Nexus One General] johng75:
sure, if you can shell out how much more for the 3G option of the ipad, and then another monthly data charge, on top of the one thats already getting paid for on the N1...
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Since you're a Bell customer - talk to Bell about getting the 6GB plan where for an extra $10 (I think) they give you a micro SIM to use in the iPad and share your data plan between both devices. You shouldn't even need to sign a contract to do so.
[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
Are you on FroYo or using the Wi-Fi tether app?

The Froyo tethering uses hardly any battery life compared to the earlier modded ones. Use Froyo and maybe carry another battery if you want to tether.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatcheZ:
just noticed that if i play music while the phone is plugged into pc, i get small buzzing/screeching noise in the background (not sure if i get while plugged to power).

This is better identified if i press pause during a song or set volume to zero.

The buzz noise disappears after a few moments if it remains on pause.

This does not happen when unplugged (obviously).

Does anyone else have similar problems?

Does anyone know how to over clock you're DI to say 1.2? Thanks for any help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
You first need to root your phone, then install a kernel that is compatible with whatever rom you are using, then you need to install an OCing app like SetCPU and adjust accordingly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makos101:
I'm rooted running the 2.2 RUU and I have set cpu. So do I just need a kernal? Which one?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWizKid95:
i reccomend King Kernel bfs #4, best freaken kernel ever... its located... here
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makos101:
so when i install this kernal is it ok to just bump the cpu speed up to 1.2? are there any guides to do this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadget!:
A lot of factors come into play when you start overclocking, every rom will respond differently.

The first thing to do before anything is to do a complete nandroid back up.

When overclocking keep in mind that the more you overclock the more chances you have of making your system unstable.

I have experimented a quite a bit and I have found that the King Kernal #4 seems to work well for me and at 1.2 it seems to be pretty stable. Any higher than that and my phone will sometimes re-boot itself for no apparent reason.

Again, your rom may handle things different so experiment and see what works best for you.

And remember - Do a complete backup first!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makos101:
I'm using the number 4 kernal and it only goes to 1.19 is this what you mean by 1.2? I have to keep mine at 1.1 ghz at 1.19 my di gets unstable
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
Ya that's as high as they can oc these chips. I can only get to 115 safely 119 just crashes. But the charging experience will be better than stock with the BFS #4.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makos101:
Could you guys please tell me what your settings for setcpu are?

I want better battery life and a faster cpu but im noticing that my phone almost needs a wake up time when i come out of screen off.

Thanks so much
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredibuyer:
If you are experiencing slow wake up, try increasing the min cpu speed to something around 460. Better batt life and increased speed takes a lot of experimenting. Your OC speed might differ from others due to differences in the phones cpu. For example, I have never been able to oc to 1.19 without the phone freezing or rebooting. My phone can handle 1152 but 1113 is perfect. In my opinion, ROMs have something to due with best batt-speed combo. I am running Ruby 1.1.1 with a setcpu profile of Screen off=245 without any wake lag. Other ROMs I have tried had wake up lag at that speed profile.

My set up:

(ROM-ASOP) Ruby 1.1.1

King's #1 ASOP "I told you so"- only works with ASOP

With the ROM's "Gem" performance scaling setting off, I use setcpu to OC to 1113, min is 245. I have a profile set to SCREEN OFF = 384 max/245 min.

I haven't worried about battery life since I started using King's kernals (I've tried them all with every compatible ROM on xda). I have several posts elsewhere on XDA showing 12 plus hours on a single bump charge and heavy phone use. Good enough for me. Stock cpu speed plus Sense ROM seems slow to me now.....to each his own though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a65lopez:
I hope to get some help because i value the opinions of those on this forum. Currently i am running virtuous 2.7 with virt. kernal v2. I am rooted, s-off, 2.15.xx radio. I want performance without draining my battery. What are the best settings to use in setcpu?

I did try king's kernal #4, but it was rebooting. switched kernals this morning.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
One other app I use in conjunction with SetCPU is MinFreeManager. This will readjust your free ram to a higher standard. But with SetCPU I have it at 1113/Ondemand with no custom profiles. One other thing I really don't set is the Set on Boot option. I don't know why but I do. So with SkyRaider Vanilla 3.0 RC3/ KingX Kernel #4/ and MinFreeManager my phone fly's. I can't say for certain what settings you need for your phone but 1113-1115 is preferred by "most" phones and keep the set on boot option off. I keep a Galaxy S live wallpaper running and pandora while browsing the web and no lag what-so-ever.

CyanogenMod 6.0.2 and KingX kernel #1 with the same setup runs almost as smooth.

Hope this helps you out.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
You have to flash a stock captivate kernel, use the key combo, run the update package, then flash back to the JPH kernel again
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
won't that not work since it's a 2.2 build and we have no available kernels? :D

did Zilch finally make a mistake? AND I CAUGHT IT!?!? :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ademejia:
okay i will try it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
I was always under the assumption that with a 2.2 ROM, a 2.1 kernel won't boot (even to recovery, though I assume since it can get to download it can get to recovery now that I think about it) as long as you flash the JPH kernel back immediately after before you boot?

maybe I didn't catch Zilch making a mistake =(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Nope, I'm right =P

You have to use it to get the recovery so that you can use our key combos (and power as select), install the package, then flash back. The phone won't BOOT without the JPH kernel but it will get to recovery =P

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
No no no, if he does that the zImage file won't be flashable, unless he's on a linux box and can repackage it.

I curious as to why people lately have been trying the i9000 jph? Yes, I would want 2.2 also but that thing is not made for these phones and with all the people lately having trouble, why bother?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Yeah that's a kernel thing... you're stuck using the I9000 kernel since we have no captivate source for a froyo kernel, so along with that you get glitches like the stock kernel wanting the physical home button (that we don't have) for recovery mode. That's why you have to jump through hoops of reflashing stock to run update.zip packages... it's an annoyance for sure
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikidroid:
Why are we now keeping the I9000 kernel?

@Zilch25

Back in the JP1 days we would load the stock Captivate 2.1 kernel and keep it. Has that changed for JPH because of the new 803 pit files? Why are we now keeping the I9000 kernel?

I ran JP1 for a while but went back to stock because of media playback,etc but there are some froyo features that I miss. I am thinking of testing JPH.

Searching but know you would be able to answer this quickly....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Honestly the last time I tried to boot Froyo with the Captivate kernel was JPC and it hung up and wouldn't boot... so that's why I stuck with the stock kernel :)

JPH is a lot further along than JP1, but imo it's a lot further away from what we were all hoping froyo would turn out to be =/

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Nope, not even a little bit, but you can hit the power button to lock the phone while on a call and it will black the screen out. Poor substitute but it works

Edit: Also before you start pushing libs and sensor files onto the phone- I've already tried it and the only thing it resulted in was weird graphical glitches whenever I touched the screen lol - what needs changing is in the kernel and we don't have any source :(
