[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelss16:
I just got a new desire after my previous one got stolen.:(

I found out the battery of my new handset last dramatically less than the previous one...it doesn't even last one day!

I reduced the screen brightness to 20% and deactivated the 3g mobile data but on the battery screen usage it says as follows:

cell standby 31%

phone idle 30%

android system 23%

display 7%

voice calls 5%

internet 2%

dialer 2%

why would the usage be so high when the phone is in standby? why would it be so high for the phone idle?

I also found out it takes ages to shut down completely...is there anything running underneath that I can stop?

please advice the optimization setting to try to improve battery life please

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elburna:
The percentages just express which parts of the battery drain (lets say you are on 68% --> 32% drained) have been used by which activity of the phone (so they are not absolute but relativ values).

In a combination of your and my example this would mean.

30% cell standby --> 30% of 32% is at least only 1/9th of the whole battery.

Hope you get what i am trying to explain :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelss16:
I see where you come from but I don't think this can explain why I need to charge it every 5 hours.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melhookv12:
Have you calibrated it,?? Search battery calibration, and try that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExMM:
Is your phone rooted michaelss16??? :rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelss16:
no my phone is not rooted but I think I managed to sort it out!

set it up as follows:

MENU> settings>wireless and network>wi-fi seettings>menu>advanced> wi-fi sleep policy> after 15 minutes

MENU> settings> sound and display>brightness> uncheck automatic brightness> reduce brightness manually by sliding it down to no more than 30%

MENU> settings> sound and display>screen timeout> set it no more than 1 minute

MENU>settings>account and sync>uncheck background data (it is possible to check it manually by refreshing it everytime is needed)

MENU>settings> Location> uncheck both "use wireless networks" and " use GPS satellites"

MENU> friendstream>menu>settings>Accounts and sync>for any of your active accounts(facebook, flickr, twitter) go to account settings>update schedule>set it up not more often than every 4 hours. (you can update it manually anytime you want)

MENU>Latitude>menu>privacy>turn off latitude. (it is possible to turn it on when maps app is needed...don't need it on all the time)

MENU>Stocks>menu>advanced>uncheck auto-sync data (you can refresh as needed)

MENU>weather>menu>settings>uncheck update automatically (agai nit is possible to update it manually by hitting refresh button)

In addition when in charge at night I shut mobile network off (I don't check updates-mail or post if I sleep)

Since I don't expect any phone call at night I turned the radio off by dialing *#*#4636#*#* >phone information>turn off radio (don't do it if a phone call is expected).

it is also possible to access battery history to check through all the processes running on the background and using power,CPU memory and bandwidth. ( the menu settings battery information refer only to the TIME of each process draining the battery and not the amount of battery drained by each process).

Now I understand why phone idle and standby was so high when checked in the morning..they are the only processes running at night when the phone is in charge if it is on).

Hope it can be usefull ....now it says 14h 52m and 13s since unplugged and battery level is still 54!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExMM:
Basically you just did what I always recommended you, update manually all the applications, except for the radio, I just turn off the mobile data so I can still receive calls... ;)

Battery drain and overclocking

I rooted my phone and installed Runnymede AIO v6.0.4.1. After installing i guess a default value has been set for the OCD as around 996000. I later changed it to the highest value and played a game. with in minutes my battery drained to 30% from 70%.

I mainly rooted my phone so that the memory constraint in HTC Desire can be done with so that i could install more and more apps and games.

I NEED TO PLAY GAMES and WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST VALUE to keep FOR OCD, so that my phone is fast and i could play games without even a minor lag.

And i also have another problem, in call history i dont see names against the calls made. However i can see those people in my contact list with names and numbers, but in call history i see only numbers and a + sign asking me to save to contacts.........

Can anyone help??

--If this is an irrelevant question in this thread, can you suggest me the correct thread, i searched and i searched but couldn't find to end on one........

:confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedreg:
Does the "new thread" button not work for you? Hijackers should be prosecuted :P

For long time I was using Starburst ROM (stock + D2SD on SNQ kernel). It was really good in performance and battery saving due to basic Sense 2.2. I could play AngryBirds couple hours long. The major factor was screen brightness to be dimmed a bit. Since I dropped gaming behavior I had no experience with other ROMs/kernels I was trying.

[Desire General] J_me:
Hi. I am currently having an issue with my phone that it keeps going into car mode on its own. I have no idea why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
maybe you could try removing htc car home using adb then reinstalling it :confused:
[Desire General] J_me:
Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. How do I do this?
[Desire General] elburna:
Hmm maybe theres something wrong with your powerconnector. As i am aware the desire starts the carmode if it detects a certain powersource (i.e. the cardock) at one Pin of its powerconnector. So there might be a hardware issue as well (slight shortcircuit or something similar). Is it mainly happening while connected to your poweradaptor?
[Desire General] tifosi256:
Er, I have the latest 2.2 ROM on my stock Desire and I don't have this car panel at all. Where are you getting it from? Are you running a custom rom?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
Here you are :p
[Desire General] tifosi256:
That's great, thanks.

So I take it that this isn't on general release and that the app has been ripped from a leaked ROM?
[Desire General] blee701:
i have same problem, how can do it?:confused:

Hi folks,

I really hope that I did not miss a post with this topic. But I own the SGS i9000 since a few days and I am wondering if there is a possibility to perform a re-stock after a flash to e.g. Froyo.

My Versions shown by the phone:

PDA: I9000BOJG3

Phone: I9000BOJF1

CSC: I9000GDTMJG1

Is it possible to reflash this with Kies? I am asking in case of needing service.

Thanks for the help!

One can only hope that once Froyo is out (branded) the Kies Update "hack" can be applied.

Otherwise lets hope that Telekom Deutschland (TMO) has goodwill if it needs service.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] androidnewbie:
I installed incubus's froyo RLS15. It ran smoothly and most of it (Wi-fi and Bluetooth, making Calls) seems to work fine. But the battery meter and the Camera doesn't work at all.

The camera application gives a Green screen and the Batter meter won't charge (even after keeping it plugged in for hours it just stays at 15 % and android gives me warnings, it still runs though)

Is there any way I can get these to work properly once again.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Honkman:
Same Problems here

I have the same Problems here. No Camera, only green screen, and battery runs out very quick. took a lot of hour to load. Sometimes when i reach the 15% battery limit the system shutdown. After loading and reboot the system give a lot of error messages, like google.api.acore have to be closed or google.api.bluetooth or google.api.mms or something like that. System is not usable anymore and need to be reinstalled by pressing the DPAD during the startup.

I like Froyo RLS 15 on my old Polaris. I flashed the NAND, overlocked to 525 MHz and if the system is running (during one battery load) it make everything very good and fast except the camera function mentioned above.

(In this time my WM-Phone have to stay at home) :)

What could the problems be about the battery?

Regards the Honkman
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cav2002:
About Camera, my experience is according to Radio & Kernel. Please try to flash you Radio, and use 2.6.25, I think its better than 2.6.32
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Honkman:
Thanks for the hint with the radio. I will try it and maybe change the kernel.

Hello everyone!

I thought i'd start a Wallpaper Repo thread for the Galaxy S community, as i know you'd all like to put that amazing screen to use ;). Purpose of this thread is that if you have any good wallpapers, or any you have stumbled upon, link them here or upload them, so you can share your findings with the rest of us.

I have a selection of wallpapers that i use, and they look fab on the SGS, in my opinion ;) You need to extract the .rar file and then simply transfer the folder with the wallpapers into your Phone storage or SD Card. Hope you all like them, and hopefully others will post theirs.

To give you an idea of what is included in my pack:

Download:

UPDATE 04/10/2010:

Well well there has been a LOT of contributions over the past week or so, and the wallpapers are very good :) special thanks to H0CKEY for posting his custom wallpapers for the rest of us to use. Thanks to sancho1234 for uploading all current wallpapers to a Picasa account, really helpful. Here is the link (i hope you don't mind me adding this to the first post!):

http://goo.gl/BNV9

30/10/10: More wallpapers added to that link above. Please remember, if you are going to post a wallpaper then have it in the correct size.

11/11/10: Added download link for all wallpapers currently in the Picasa Album. All photos have been added to a rar archive and it has been uploaded to FileServe. Again, thanks to sancho for uploading them and to everyone else contributing.

11/12/10: Added updated Wallpaper pack, download link replaced below, 400+ Wallpapers now present. Press the Thanks button if you appreciate the upload :)

Keep them coming ;)

Even when I make a new wallpaper exactly 900x800 png @ 72 dpi, why does SGS again crop it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ragin:
I downloaded the jpgs from the first post, extracted them on my sdcard, went to long-press screen, wallpapers, & selected quite a few of them, they are all CROPPED by SGS, I the resolution is GONE. Any solution to that?

By the way, here are a few Eye Wallpapers.

P.S> I think you need to update/upgrade the resolutions, for a PNG or a JPG, the resolutions recommended is only 640x480, whereas SGS requires 960x800.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] masterotaku:
Just a tip I felt like throwing out there...

I use Wallpaper Set And Save from the Market to set wallpapers. And when it comes to finding wallpapers, well 960x800 isn't a widely used resolution for wallpapers but 1280x1024 still is (for desktop wallpapers at least).

1280x1024 wallpapers have a similar enough aspect ratio (1.25 vs 960x800's 1.2) that these can either be resized to 960x800 with little to no distortion, or just directly used in apps that support on the fly resize (Wallpaper Set And Save being one of these).

With this knowledge and Google Image Search's capability to search for specific image resolutions, the sky is the limit for finding interesting walls.

FYI :)

Hi everyone

After OTA patch (2.10.405.2) ive noticed that there is a problem with GPS tracking on my Desire.

When I drive (lets say on straight road with constant speed) and pass a crossroad the arrow indicator on SatNav (no matter if its GMaps, Sygic or Ndrive) is like 20-50m behind. It does exactly what I do in the car but delayed (its like watching film but voice is few seconds behind)

My phone is unbranded, unrooted, with Stock 2.2 Froyo (UK).

Can anyone verify this for me if you have the same problem??

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App
[Desire General] shoemeistah:
You may also call this reversed USB tether.

This might come in handy if you're near a computer (Win XP/Win7) and there's no Wifi to connect to etc..

So after some research and trying I've found some information on how to do this.

Requirements:

* Android 2.2 (or an older version with a root tethering app)

* ADB from Android SDK, or a rooted Android 2.2 with terminal in root mode

STEP 1:

Install USB drivers from Android SDK.

STEP 2:

Connect USB cable and activate USB Tethering.

You should see a new network interface. (On XP you might need to install the RNDIS driver manually, see below)

If you're also missing RNDIS driver on Win7, look here.

Win XP manual driver install Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS: (You can skip this if you're on Win 7)

1. Download the following configuration file inside the *.zip attached to this post (tetherxp.inf) to your Windows XP computer.

2. Use the USB cable that came with your phone to connect your phone to your computer.

3. On the Android phone, press Home > Menu > Settings to open the Settings application.

4. Press Wireless & networks > Tethering & portable hotspot.

5. Check USB tethering.

6. When Windows XP’s New Hardware Wizard opens, select No, not at this time and click Next.

7. Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.

8. Click Browse to browse to the directory where you installed the configuration file you downloaded in Step 1 and click Next. Windows XP uses the configuration file to configure itself to support USB tethering with the Android phone. (This might take a while)

9. When Windows XP finishes installing the software for Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS, click Finish.

STEP 3:

Bridge the 2 network interfaces.

STEP 4:

Setup usb0 interface of your phone. You have to options:

1. From your computer, execute:

./adb shell netcfg usb0 dhcp

2. Or in a root terminal on your phone, type:

su

netcfg usb0 dhcp

You should now be able to connect to Internet on your phone using your computer's Internet connection.

Try to do a ping www.google.com to be sure.

STEP 5:

To shut down the reverse-tethering, first unbridge interfaces on your computer:

sudo ifconfig eth0 down

sudo ifconfig usb0 down

sudo ifconfig br0 down

sudo brctl delbr br0

sudo ifconfig eth0 up

sudo dhclient eth0

Then on your phone, uncheck the USB Tethering option.

Hope this helps some one who wants this to the right direction. :)

And maybe we're able to create an app to do this all automated.

Known issues but does not apply to all users:

1. Internet in browser application does not work.

2. Can't ping domain name.

For a little more info check out the sources, this includes the Linux version too.
