This is the case with most batteries, and I thought it was common knowledge with Li-ion. The lower the current you charge with, the better the charge.

Using the higher amperage wall charger lets you hit the voltage peak quicker but, the topping charge will take longer. A lot of car chargers are just as high amperage as wall chargers.

Other things you can do to try maintain the capacity of the battery over the course of its life:

-NEVER let it get hot (whether from heavy usage or keeping it in a hot car or the sun)

-never deep cycle (totally kill the battery)

-try to keep it between 40 - 60% charge for most of its life (Li-ion batteries do not like being at full charge or no charge)

Doing any of these things once will not destroy the battery, but by the 500th charge cycle, you can bet your ass it will.

[EVO 4G General] kzibart:
Sounds like my kind of job! Seriously, I use USB (through a laptop) and car chargers almost exclusively and I have no real complaints about battery life. And by that I mean it gets me through the day, which is all I've come to expect from phones for the past few years. But I did happen to use a wall charger last night, and I have JuicePlotter active, so I did some checking.

Comparing my last overnight charge using my laptop's USB to last night's charge through a wall adapter, I found that the charging was actually faster through the laptop. I see that the charge tends to drop off as it approaches 100%, so I took pairs of points from uniform sections of each plot for my comparison:

Laptop USB:

44% to 82% in 41 minutes = 0.927% / min

Wall:

63% to 91% in 37 minutes = 0.757% / min
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Hah, yeah my job is pretty amazing sometimes but I have def quit using the wall charger (unless I absolutely have nothing else around)

As far as for droiddev... this is my first phone where charging it from different devices gives me different results. I don't see where it would be common sense, Li-ion batteries are not supposed to not have these memory leak/hold issues like past batteries. A charge is a charge to li-ion batteries, but not in this case.
[EVO 4G General] droideveloper:
Not sure what you mean, but you will get the most life out of your battery by charging it short spurts at a time over USB. Read the article I linked to and you will see what I mean, but you can get the best charge into your battery by slowly ramping up in steps with a low current charger.

guys i dropped my hd2 the screen did not crack but it is showing yelow patches.i mean the clouds are yellow too.when i flex my phone the colour comes back to normal.i gave my phone to the htc repair center they said my motherboard/mainboard's socket has a problem and needs a replacement which is very expensive.After it fell when i keep the phone in my pocket and when i remove it after a while to use it,it does not wake up and i have to pul out the batery and restart it.Now my question is can it realy be the mainboard isue?or its my screen malfunctioning?i have a doubt on this.please help.

I got the same.

I dropped it twice, now my screen is f*cked.

When I bent it a little bit it goes back to normal.

I'm waiting for a fully backup program for all my apps/sms/photo's/etc before I want to give it to a repair center. Want to make it so dat I never dropped it and the screen just suddenly started to act very strange. Hope it will fall under warranty :-)

Do you perhaps know a full backup program?

(something like you also use on a normal pc like making a ghost image, and when the phone returns you can load the image and everything is back to normal including your own apps/photo's/sms etc...)

Whats up with the new gmail app on the market? After checking the version number I have an olderversion. Why isnt my current version asking me to update? I probably wouldnt have even noticed but I went to my downloads and it showed up as a free app as if I didnt have it. So thats when I started investigating.

Anyway its got me all confused lol. Should I just uninstall my current google app and then just go download that app? I cant see how it would hurt, but Ill wait to see what you smart guys say. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxmander:
I noticed the same thing today, current version of gmail on my phone is 2.2.1, and the one in the market is 2.3(also did not show up in market as an update, just install). I updated just fine and everything works good. I think the market won't show an app as updatable, unless you install it from the market and since gmail came with the phone, and not from the market the market will just show the option to install.

I don't remember seeing gmail being in the market in the past, this must be another step towards googles much talked about push for making core google apps a part of the market instead of being shipped on the phone. Makes more sense that way anyways.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qendadar:
I remember reading something that mobile gmail would be getting the new priority inbox like the regular gmail site has. Maybe this is the reason for the update

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
So do I just installit over the old or uninstall and then install the new one freshly?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Just install the new one over top. Really easy.

The new Gmail app has the buttons at the top scroll down with you, making it easier to star, reply, reply to all, etc. It has some other bug fixes, and there is limited Priority Inbox support, in the form of a new "Important" label, that takes you to your important messages.

Here's a link to the blog post: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/09/updated-gmail-app-in-android-market.html

This update came out yesterday, and is the first time Gmail has been updated in the market. This will be how updates will work from now on, just like the Maps app before it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijob:
Hi there,

Having looked through a few threads before posting, can I still root my Desire now my phone has the over the air 2.2 update?

Does root mean that I can now flash custom roms?

Do I need a Gold Card is my phone is already unlocked/ unbranded?

Cheers,
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsymbol:
Yes, you can root your phone now. I've just done it using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788044

My phone has an OTA Froyo 2.2.

I used Unrevoked 3.21 & got the phone rooted on the 1st trial.

No, you don't need the gold card.

I haven't flashed any custom ROM on my phone yet, I wanna use stock ROM.

The only reason I rooted the phone because I wanted to move apps to SD card, but I haven't found the step-by-step guide yet...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijob:
Thank you, that's my reason for wanting to do it too :) Started installing apps that I had on my X10 and I couldn't! So I tried apps2sd (correct name?) from the market but it would only transfer some.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hudl:
I too rooted my Froyo Desire - my main purpose was to be able to wake the display with the virtual "trackball"... ;) unrevoked 3.21 works flawless! BUT i really recommend you to use Linux (e.g Ubuntu Live CD) with unrevoked! In windows i always got problems with drivers and i had to run the process several times... :mad:

Linux is a one-click painless process! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijob:
Regarding the downloads, do I assume that if my PC is running windows xp then I should download the windows version?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoyBubby:
No even if you are running windows I would recommend rooting using Linux it is very easy to do.

OH it would not let me post links :( anyways goto myhtcdesire.com modding section and the info is in there.

I followed this guide at first I tried using Puppy Linux but this failed so I tried using SLAX as recommended and it just works so easily. To use Linux all you have to do is burn a Linux CD (ISO File) set your PC to boot from it and then run the unrevoked flash utility. I did my desire first and then did my brothers 2.2 updated desire using unrevoked 3.21 yesterday.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Hi that is also my main purpose (for now): I want to wake my phone with the trackball. But is rooting with unrevoked sufficient to be able to do that? I did not think so, but I'd love to know: can anyone tell me?

I'm using Energy ROM without registry tweak.

I believe the battery drain about 1.2%/h in standby can be archived on any WinMo ROM (I checked ChunkyDroid, Energy barebone and full) with radio 2.11 .

The trick (when there is huge drain) is to remove /data/system/batterystats.bin and charge to full on winmo or turned off (till green led).

After this trick (I did this many times) you will get about 3-8mA in Currentwidget. The istructions are in this forum.

I was using pongster, mattc and now DesireHD distrubution with this trick and it is working for me every time.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] brunswick000:
Just a question here. Many of the fonts that can be downloaded from sites like dafont have only one font type in the download. Namely _regular.ttf The droid logo font package i currently have has a font type for every font to be replaced but one. Do you only need to replace the _regular.ttf to change the font on the phone?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
The only two I change are DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold, so if you download a font with only one file, duplicate and rename it accordingly.

So my question is, when naming and pushing the files, is it bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 + adb push to data/local directory?

Or is VZW_bootanimation.zip and VZW_Droid.mp3 + adb push to system/customize/resource/???

3. flash ROM (I use chuckydroid but others prefer different ones)

4. download an ANDROID build to sd card. (try different builds and you'll figure out which one u like the most)

5. use an android bootloader if your build doesn't automatically start. ( most bootloaders are cooked in ur rom already.)
