[Vibrant General] qreffie:
I consistently get 20+ hours out of one charge. I can't really use my phone at work, but during breaks and lunch I'm always getting on it and checking mail/feeds/youtube or whatever and still have about 70% by the time I go home. I usually have more than half by the time I go to bed unless I've been doing some tethering or heavy audio/video streaming.
[Vibrant General] patman1:
lol...thats so true...
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Oh noes!!! :eek:

That's just weird. Your 3GS lasts longer than the 2G? The 2G has a bigger battery and no 3G radio or GPS--how is that even possible? Also, your 3GS times are considerably longer than typical. There's a reason so many people are sporting cases with integrated batteries; most of my friends can't get through a half a day with a 3GS, especially with iOS4. (iPhone 4, yeah, way better battery life).

An AMOLED screen is more efficient if a lot of blacks are being displayed, but and LCD is better for whites and bright colors.
[Vibrant General] morfic:
One last note:

I used to be paranoid about turning off gps, wifi, bluetooth and all that, now i have gps on all the time (so apps can use it when they want it), wifi often surprises me showing me open AP, becuase i didn't turn it off, i leave bluetooth on and after a day, i have to chrage at the end of the day, this phone certain has many problems, battery life is not one of them

I bought tweet caster and didn't realize it's a second app not a key like on others, so the extra back ground process and the background process of touiteur (which i never checked for background settings while testing it) and my usual Pure messenger all updating in background can drain your battery.

a runaway process can do it if it manages to lock your cpu at full speed.

That said, i left my purte messenger widget alone while testing the launcher pro twitter and facebook widgets, with a slow refresh of 30 minutes for all and i could not tell i ran three widgets.

the two twitter clients mentioned use a default update frequency of three minutes iirc, look at what all your widgets do to your battery, (clock widgets can be particularly nasty)

I am sure you will find your battery rocks once you don't let apps abuse it :)

Better than mt3g, liquid or betouch any day.
[Vibrant General] morfic:
i'm glued to it and i can make it a day :>
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Yep, if I took my old iPhone 3Gs off the charges at say 9am, it would last through the day, through the night and for much of the next day.

If I took the Vibrant off the charger at 9am it would last until maybe 9 or 10pm if used normally. Which basically means that I have to always think about plugging it in if I go out at night, because it will die on me.

The 2G is almost never used anymore (only for local SIMs overseas), but I never got much more than a full day with it, plus nowadays the original battery is long in the tooth.

Yep, I know this and use the black background from LP, and the whole mood on the phone is pretty dark, but it still doesn't help much. Actual phone calls really kill the Galaxy S fast.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
Juice Defender is showing it's increased my battery life 2.16x, not too shabby :~)
[Vibrant General] tlvsnjunkie:
So what exactly do you look at to see what widgets are decimating the battery? I unplug my phone at 6am and by 12 I'm close to 40% battery left and I'm at work so I hardly use the phone. Something is definitely wrong if you guys are able to get 12+ hours out of your batteries.

Any tips would be helpful!

I have a few question about your experience with the vibrant. What made you choose this phone? Do you like it so far? Do you like this over ther other Galaxy series phones?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl0play:
I like the look of the Captivate better, but not the feel in my hand. Also this can work on ATT or T-mo networks, Captivate cannot. Epic is full of cool, and is enormous and has a worse battery life.

My complaints with the vibrant are the same as I would have with any Galaxy S phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lralexl:
Love the huge and gorgeous display. The phone is amazingly fast with the correct rom+kernel+configuration and it works exactly as advertised.

The major thing for me was the screen which i like to watch movies or tv shows in landscape view when away from home.

Very satisfied with the phone overall and worth the money.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdf2883:
thanks for the feedback, glad to hea you enjoy it. How's the battery life on it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allthrottle:
The battery life could be better, but isn't the worst. I leave the phone unplugged before I go to sleep at night (around 11pm) and it'll usually last until 9-10pm the next night. I send a few dozen texts and emails, make a dozen calls, a few google searches and a little bit of random useage. It lasts longer than the battery on my old G1 and Cliq, which I usually had to turn 3G off to get it through a full work day. On the Vibrant, I don't change a thing and it lasts all day, though rarely into the next day.

When I'm on it non-stop, playing games and searching the internet, it'll last 3-4 hours tops. Not too bad considering the large screen and load on the processor.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjhart85:
You should try Setting Profiles [it's in the market .... theres a lite version too] for when you go to sleep....here's what I do:

CONDITIONS:

1200AM-0600AM

Screen Off

Battery Discharging

Schedule 15/17 [makes it turn off airplane mode for 2 minutes every 17 minutes ... In case there is an urgent voicemail or something].

ACTIONS:

Activate Airplane Mode

It's done wonders for my battery life & if I'm actively using the phone [screen is on], it turns airplane mode off, so the phone is usable.

Doing this, you might be able to squeeze a little bit more out of it :)

[Streak 5 General] xr2unitx:
Recently the vibration on my Streak started to diminish. Eventually it just stopped working altogether. Do you guys think it's a software or hardware problem? Should I send it in fr repairs? Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 General] toyfreak:
If it died slowly it's definitely hardware.

I moved over from Windows Mobile and loved the mobile betting app that vip.com had.

Now I'm on Android and the only things I can find are fake money programs, odds listing programs, and mobile sites.

Is anyone aware of an actual app??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mclovin221:
Androids a bit different, you need to download them as APK files
[Epic 4G Themes] OperationMove:
Hey guys, I'm pretty sure I can't post any links cause I'm a newer poster. Just picked up an epic a few days ago, but I've been on android for a while (owned a G1 and a moto cliq :mad:) Anyways, I popped on ANdrolib.com today to check out the goings-on, and I noticed that "VR Tunnel Max" Is free today, under the name VR Tunnel Max BBQ Edition.

:D

Not really my thing, but cool to show it off, I'm more of an ascension Live wallpaper guy myself. Anyways though, a good way to get a good working live wallpaper with some cool features for free, while at the same time not being a warez noob. Haha Just thought I'd share the info
[Epic 4G Themes] magicalsleeper:
Thanks for the heads up. Always like it when people put things up free for a limited time. :)
[Epic 4G Themes] ragnarokx:
good lookin out - gonna try this right now
[Epic 4G Themes] JungleJiujitsu:
Thanks for the info dude! I just downloaded it from the market where it is also available for free for the time being, and applied it as my wallpaper. Its cool how it uses the motion sensor to make the view of the tunnel move when you tilt and turn your phone.
[Epic 4G Themes] OperationMove:
Yeah thats where I had to get it too, through the market. I agree free things are fantastic. Oh and BTW Androlib.com just lets you view the market in a different way/ with diff filters, and then refers you to things Via QR Code. Yeah, but, hope you guys enjoy! (I didn't create it I just stumbled upon it) I'm sure you'll be seeing more of me around here, regardless. So cheers!

Gotta love free stuff. Good looking out ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd993:
Hi,

I have noticed a few threads about the trackball light being stuck but couldn't see one about the notification light. It comes on green from the moment the power button is pushed and stays like that whether booting normally or in recovery. I have tried a full wipe and reflash but nothing seems to work. Just noticed it yesterday, the phone did get a bit wet in the rain and so this could very well be a hardware problem. Any suggestions on things tp try? The phone is not wet now and wasn't severly rained on but have noticed the battery moisture detector change colour. I have tried a different battery with no luck of sorting the stuck green light.

Hope someone can offer a solution!

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd993:
Anyone anything?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itamarl:
I am also suffering from the same issue.

did anyone get this fixed?

already ordered a phone dismantliing kit from dealextreme... will try to peek inside and see if I can get it solved fro within..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiernan809:
I'm having the same issue.

It did stop for a couple of weeks after (I think) I was button mashing on a dead battery. The problem returned however.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribalartgod:
If the moisture indicator changed colors, it got VERY wet from the rain. It's a pain in the rear to make these change colors without direct contact to moisture. Something you can try tho, and this will take a couple days...

If the phone is COMPLETELY dry, proceed... Otherwise, put the phone inside a bowl of rice for 2 days...Make sure to remove the battery, sim, memory card, and have the screen slider open during this process. If you can get a hold of silica, this works better.

**Put the phone in blue light mode. (Hold trackball down and power on.) Leave the phone like this for a few hours... Once this is done, DO NOT reboot the phone. Pull the battery. Reinsert the battery and boot into recovery. The light should now be off.

This tricks the phone into thinking it's at the factory, being repaired... Nothing actually happens, because you don't have a Diagnostic SD card.. This worked for me. May be a fluke, but still worth a shot.

everytime i play any type of video on my phone and pass it through to my car system its so low that i have to crank it to max. even then, it wont get any louder past 28 and the loudest setting is 35. i know its not my system because at 20-25 it makes peoples ears bleed.

[EVO 4G Accessories] typeadam:
This is a multi-part question so please read carefully :D

Unless it's my only option, I do NOT want to purchase a car charger made specifically for the EVO b/c of the Micro-B connector. I do, however, have plenty of car chargers that have a Mini-B connector. Now, I know I can't use those b/c they won't fit, BUT, I have my old USB "dongle" from my Touch Pro, which has an audio plug plug in it and the audio plug is next to the usb IN. This benefits me greatly b/c the setup in my car makes it a pain to have a charger going into the bottom and the audio going into the top. This way I could plug both, car charger AND audio into the dongle and plug the dongle into my phone. This worked beautifully w/ my Hero but the Hero had a Mini-B so the dongle fit right in.

Now, to make the dongle fit into my EVO, I have a tiny converter plug which has a female Mini-B and a male Micro-B.

So my question is this: since there is so much info on here regarding fast-charging, regular charging, amperage, voltage, etc.; please tell me what specs does my charger need so that it won't ruin the battery.

Like I said, I've got plenty of Mini-B chargers - do I need a 5v, 3v, 1 amp, 0.5 amp? :confused:
[EVO 4G Accessories] Wasney:
Do you actually get sound out doing it this way? I was always under the impression that even with a mini to micro adapter sound still would not come out using the HTC adapter.

If this works for you I need to get a mini to micro...would make my in car setup look so much better! Instead of the whole on plug on top and bottom that I have going on.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jonnythan:
Physically impossible.

The Hero had an ExtUSB port, which is a port physically compatible with Mini-USB but has extra pins for audio in addition to the power and data pins.

The Evo has a standard microUSB port, which only has power and data pins. There's no way to get audio out of the microUSB port on the Evo.

The only ways to get audio out are the headphone port, the HDMI port, and Bluetooth.

Anyway, I'm in the same boat. I had a car mount for my Hero that let me just plug the one cable in, and it provided audio, microphone, and power all at once. I just ordered a new car stereo with Bluetooth instead for the Evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Wasney:
Dang...I could go the bluetooth route...I just don't like playing with bluetooth, idk why.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jonnythan:
My experience in the past is that Bluetooth has been more than a little finicky, but so far with the Evo and two car stereos (a Boss 755DBI and a JVC KD-R810) it's been rock solid. I actually like being able to leave it in my pocket or take it down from the mount without interrupting the audio signal or call.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Wasney:
Yeah, I am thinking about getting the Kensington LiquidAUX, and giving bluetooth a go. My stereo only has a AUX input, so I need to get something if I want bluetooth.

Plus, the remote would allow me to control without having to have the phone out, so I can leave it in my pocket if I feel to lazy to put it in my mount :D

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=206684059&listingid=65080086&&
[EVO 4G Accessories] jonnythan:
I had that thing with my Hero, and it rarely worked at all, let alone well. Maybe it'll be better with the Evo.

Be sure to buy it somewhere you can return it.

[Desire HD Accessories] cd993:
Recently purchased a full body protection, similar to that of invisibleshield etc. from the following site:

http://www.devdef.com/products/for-htc-desire-hd

Hoping that it has no orange peel effect, loss of sensitivity of the screen or yellow tinting after time. Will give a review (with pictures if possible) when I receive it and my Desire HD!
[Desire HD Accessories] liorra3:
nice, buy dono, dont like the Full Body Protection, a silicon case is better...
[Desire HD Accessories] cd993:
Yea thats fair doo's. My friend has the Samsung Galaxy S with a silicone case and whilst it looks good and gives it a firm feel to it, I definately myself prefer a clear full body protector. I had a bodyguardz protector for my HD2 and loved the feel and look of it. Nice to know that it was protected without covering up any of the beautiful design.

But yea its all down to the individual preference! :)
[Desire HD Accessories] KaidM:
This body protector is a lot cheaper than Zagg which was quoting I think $20-$30 last time I looked. Does anyone know what the difference is?
[Desire HD Accessories] cd993:
Im not too sure on the difference, only the price difference at this stage. I have received the protector and so as soon as I receive the phone I'll apply it and provide my own review (with pictures) for other members to decide upon
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Can you tell what the material is like?

Is it slightly stretchy and "soft" like Zagg's offerings (i.e. if you dig a fingernail into it, does it spring back?) or is it more rigid and unpliable like a brando protector?

I'm a big advocate of Zagg's products - but they dont seem too fussed in making anything for the DHD yet...
[Desire HD Accessories] Deval B:
I am using CAPDA CASE to protect my Desire HD. The best protector case I used.

Used to have ZAGG full body protection. It was nice for a few months. But then it started peeling away along the edges, the dirt and lint started getting under the film... urghh, dusgusting. Got rid of that.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilityguy:
Hi all,

I just installed ClockworkMod Recover using ROM Manager on my G1, replacing Amon_RA. Immediately before replacing, I did a Nandroid backup using Amon_RA. No problems, lots of dots and then it returned. After I installed ClockworkMod, I tried creating another Nandroid backup, first from the recovery screen and then from the ROM Manager app. Both times the backup hung on the message "Backing up .android_secure..." and required a battery pull to get back. The last time I let it go for over an hour before giving up. I'm running CM6 stable, if that matters.

Any idea? I'm about to put Amon_RA back on, so I can get good Nandroid backups again.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] braydonf:
I recently rooted on my Nexus one, using the Stock FRG83 2.2.1 ROM (unlocked bootloader) of the latest OTA release of FRG83, and have since noticed a battery charging issue. The battery of my phone declines steadily in charge as it is plugged into my wall charger, or is on the desktop dock. This is a similar problem to the one I had when I installed the non-OTA release of FR91. Is this a known issue? Any ideas/fixes?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Father Maxno:
Same problem here

Device: Nexus One

OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): 2.2.1 FRG83

That is really annoying and confusing. First of all, the phone is rebooting without any reason. I have removed almost all the apps, i'm checking my battery usage every hour and killing unnecessary running apps by Task Killer, but still the battery is not enough even for a day.

I was late to the office 2 times already,because the battery goes to 0% during the night (although it was showing me 47% before going to sleep). HOW? It was laying on the table whole night UNTOUCHED!!!

Seriously, what's the point of the update if it causes such problems. After such issues, i'm thinking of throwing away Android and buy something else.

Has anyone any ideas what should i do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shoemeistah:
This is some easy stuff, but I thought I'd share one of my old "tricks" to work faster for the 'lazy' people :p.

So let's say if you work a lot with adb within the SDK tools folder this might come in handy if you currently cd to the folder each time you open a command prompt window.

Just download and extract the batch file to your desktop or where ever you like and open it with notepad then change the directory in the last line after cd.

The first lines makes sure the command prompt window stays open after you execute the batch file so you can start inputting. So don't worry, it does not include harmful codes for those who don't know batch commands.

Hope you will find this useful.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fritzgerald:
You could always copy "adb.exe", "AdbWinApi.dll", and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll" to "C:\windows\system32" and then you can use adb from any folder in command prompt. If I'm using any adb commands use them straight from the windows 7 search/run box on the start menu.
