Hey guys, ionno if its just me, but my T mobile HD2 battery drains very fast while im using android, i am using the stock 16gb micro SD class 2 card and I average less than 12 hrs on a charge and all i do is moderate texting really.

Im using:

mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8

2.10 Radio

Energy Rom

7.1 Hastarin kernal

SETCPU Conservative mode 214mhz min, 614mhz max

HSPL 3.0

On Current Widget my idle is always around 60-61 mah, and when i awake it from sleep it jumps to 168-230 mah! I also use Taskiller and let that run in the backround at all times, although i dont think that program would eat up that much power.

Any idea how i can extend the battery life because after doing all this it seems so far i have no luck.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I use my phone during the day as an mp3 player at work and see a normal battery drain while the screen is off.

In the evenings, I become a texting monster, sending and receiving several hundred texts over the course of three or four hours. Even with my phone plugged in to the original charger, the battery drains. Without the charger, the phone barely lasts more than an hour on a full charge.

Personally, I think it's the screen brightness that kills the battery, since I don't run background processes and only send/receive text messages. However, there is a good possibility that it is a radio issue.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
The color is not the same specially the setting menu i even odin back to stock its still not fixed. what should i do? i read somewhere about the color fix
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Not sure what the problem is from your description.... do you mean you lost the colored icons in the settings menu (not stock), or that the colors seem blueish hue.... did you try JACs kernel?
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
yes its blueish hue... this happened after i flashed the frankin twiz rom. And even after flashing back to odin stock. its still the same : ( what do i do?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I have not had the issue, but I believe JAC's kernel has the colorfix... you should check it out. I actually just added this to the sticky about 30 minutes ago if you need a link.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
can you please link me and i am not sure how to flash the jac's kernal.... do i have to flash it by odin?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ Like I said, I just said I added it to the sticky... there is a link and a step by step guide. Does not require odin.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
i tried the kernels with color fix and its not working.. i even tried the stock kernel:(
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
there is no fix for this? am i the only one with this problem??
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
may b i am missing some kinda file i need to flash? i flash the pit and pda what about phone? csc and dump? see after trying diff kernel it gets worst
[Legend General] asantaga:
Guys,

Does the CM6.0/6.1 Android 2.2 give better battery life than the stock 2.1-update 1 rom??

Im happy to wait for HTC for the official 2.2 rom, however if the battery life is better then im rooting as soon as the 6.1 is released..

Angelo
[Legend General] tryll1980:
No idea m8. Guess you have to wait and see as the rest of us
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
I dont really know I've overclocked it as soon as i installed it and I can do 52hours with the battery. (Almost the same as the non overclocked stock ROM )

Try taskpanel its not in the market but you can find it on google. I've tried lots of other taskkillers but thisone really sticks out in terms of increasing battery life. You need to tel it what to kill when screen goes off but once you did that you'll see a huge improvement.
[Legend General] pesaroso:
Depends solely on usage, imo. I broke a record on my Legend recently, but that only included ~15mins speaking in phone, rest was regular usage such as apps, market, wake up alarms etc. Posted a print screen from it, had to leech and install ShootMe first, though ^^ http://i.imgur.com/L5Vaj.png

Regards!
[Legend General] mrkekson:
yes it does, now my phone can handle up to 2 days with slightly heavy use, (was like 1 day prev.) i mean mosty its on standby, but sync/hsdpa on all day + im useing gmaps, games etc, but i needed to reset the battery stats, but genearlly my answer is yes!
[Legend General] mrkekson:
del it pls, repost :(
[Legend General] Catnap:
It's not directly related, but if you're rooted you can use SetCPU to clock your processor all the way down when it's not necessary to run it at top speed. And yes, this in itself has greatly improved my battery life.
[Legend General] asantaga:
thanks all,

sounds like rooting and using 2.2 would increase battery life because you can use setCPU...

thanks again
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sbrissen:
I grabbed the deodex'd rom from Frostman, extracted it and decompiled the Email.apk to see how challenging it was to tweak it so it doesn't look like its made for a blind person. I have the sizes shrunk down for everything except the message body, I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand or point me in the right direction to do that. I know I can ping to shrink the text but I want the initial size to be smaller.

I attached what I have so far, you'll need to remove both Email.apk and Email.odex if you aren't deodex'd and you'll also need to be rooted. Drop this apk in /system/app and reboot, you'll have to setup the email again.

I believe the section I want is under WebView in the message_view_header.xml file.
[Windows Mobile] nemasu:
Greetings!

First off, I have little idea what I'm doing, this is my first attempt to create a custom ROM. I've searched around and can't seem to find a solution.

I've got an Xperia X1 and am using osKitchen.

The ultimate goal is to have a Japanese ROM with WM build 25369 with no additional UIs, i never use sense or whatever anyway, just the old today screen with cal, messaging, and time/date items.

I have:

Latest stock ROM for X1 (GENERIC_NAM_R3AA011)

23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409 (Just Eng)

initflashfiles-dat-all-langs-updated-feb-24-2010.zip

RUU_Diamond_eMobile_JPN_1.81.881.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.48.25.26_1.09.25.07_Ship.exe (6.1 JPN ROM)

Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65.zip

WM6550-23563-Rollup-All-Pkgs.rar (This has all languages)

Here's what I'm doing, anyone of them (or all) could be very wrong, hopefully I've done at least one thing right:

Imported X1 ROM for OEMDrivers, OEMApps, OEMOperators, oemversion, oem_dpi

Imported 6.1 JPN ROM for OEM Lang 411

-What i did here is i copied everything over from the JPN rom's oem 411 folder into the X1 OEM Lang folder, overwrote any conflicts, deleted any 0409 muis, and copied over the file from initflashfiles zip for 0411.

Replaced OEMXipKernel with the one from Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65.zip and selected custom XIP when making the rom with the one also found in that zip. Put the rest of the files (os.nb.payload, xip.bin, uldr.nb0, romhdr.bin) into the ROM Parts folder.

Then, I Used OS, OSFiles, MSXIPKernel, MSXIPKernelLTK from the 23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409 zip, and the rest of the packages i used from the WM6550-23563-Rollup-All-Pkgs rar (because it had 0411 files).

I deleted dpi and lang folders that my device doesn't use (it uses 192dpi 480x800 and 0411) and built the ROM, flashed, and it shows the Sony Ericsson splash screen, and then goes black forever.

I know I must be doing something very wrong, any hints as to what?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile] Rataplan:
Pfff, what a big list,

Okay I did it this way, and I make my rom in 12 languages and they are all working.

1. Install oskitchen and import xperia rom

2. After finishing import 23563 build

3. Install another oskitchen and import diamond jpn rom

4. Copy the oem_lang 0411 and the ext packages to your kovsky kitchen be aware you put them in the right place.

5. Open the kovsky kitchen and select the Japanese language and select the packages you wanna use in your rom and you're done.

Regards,
[Windows Mobile] nemasu:
Cool thanks!

That would be for 23563 though right? What if i wanted to use 23569 with 23563 packages? ....No real reason, higher number, figure it's better somehow....that even possible?
[Windows Mobile] Rataplan:
Just start with 23563, it's a good package and if you have a working rom you can alway's make the change. ;)

Greetz,
[Windows Mobile] nemasu:
Ok sounds good, I was just thinking I probably shoulda tried with something a bit easier haha.....how would i make the change? is my approach correct?
[Windows Mobile] Rataplan:
If you extract the 23569 build, you only have to change the All and Common folder, but in your first post you where talking about a 25369 build and I didn't know what kind off build that was.

Succes buddy,
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Make sure you have the proper wince.nls in your build. If you leave it out, the rom won't boot.
[Windows Mobile] nemasu:
I used the one that came with the Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65 zip.
[Windows Mobile] Rataplan:
I don't think there is any difference between those 2 wince.nls but if you wanna be sure just use the one in the 23563/COMMON folder.
[Windows Mobile] nemasu:
Hmm, I've got a wince.nls in:

Sources\Devices\HTC Kovsky\Profiles\default\OEMXipKernel

Sources\Windows Mobile Builds\23569\0411\WinCENLS_Lang_0411

and

Sources\Windows Mobile Builds\23569\Common\WinCENLS_WWE

they are all different sizes....should they all be the same? or only have one? or?
[Windows Mobile] Rataplan:
No I have them also, never take a look at it, only checked the file when I cooked my rom's never changed anything or replaced it with another version or from another build.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boomer13:
When I run Cestos 2 I get the following message:

'Cestos 2 require OpenFeint to run. This lets you use your account on multiple phones, or recover your account if you switch phones.'

Then I can choose 'Enable OpenFeint' or 'Quit'.

When I choose 'Enable OpenFeint' it says 'Feint couldn't initialize, would you like to send a crash report'

I figured this means I need to install the OpenFeint on my phone, but when I search the market the only OpenFeint app I can find is the Feint Game Spotlight.

Has anyone else had this issue? I know there has been an instance in the past where a certain app wouldn't show up in a market search on the Vibrant. I wonder if this is happening with OpenFeint...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Nitin008:
Yea am facing the same issue. :(

I don't think its got anything to do with a problem with your market search.

It's probably just not able to connect.
[HD2 General] semihbalcioglu:
i'm planning to go for a trip for about 7-8 hours. does anyone had a problem about using GPS for a long time usage like 7-8 hours? or is it safe to use? i m wondering about GPS unit and screen backlight.any advice or comment would be really helpful..
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
make sure the screen brightness is set to auto, and if it's warm or sunny, try and point an a/c vent at it. You might also try not having it plugged in the whole time (charging causes it to heat up quite a bit). Maybe run it for 3 hours unplugged, then charge it for awhile, etc.
[HD2 General] willj12:
I have used the GPS for 5 hours straight, running Garmin Mobile XT to direct my partner and the wifi router running for my laptop it didn't overheat. I used a generic USB charger and it only charged 5% over the whole 5 hour journy.
[HD2 General] CRO_Misho:
Unlike Touch HD, Snapdragon in HD2 won't overheat.

I am using Garmin mobile XT regularly for almost an year now, and have no problem at all.
[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:
In the space of a few days I have traveled 7 hours, 5 hours and 9+ hours with the screen on full brightness and plugged into my car charger whilst using it to download satellite maps and following my position with the GPS through Google Maps.

Worked like a dream... :D
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
bullcrap!!!!

With certain radios, I can make my hd2 lockup from overheating in about 30min.
[HD2 General] rgr81:
I used navigation for about 5 hours without Problems.

Full brightness, with Car-Kit charged and official Rom.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
hd2 will automatically stop charging when the battery is full so you can leave it plugged. to the guy saying he phone overheats, it's broken and you need to get it fixed
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
no it's not broken, it just does not like the 2.14 radio. I have not had that problem on other radios.
[HD2 General] OzOns:
Hi,

My experience. Iam running OziexplorerCE on HD2. On a sailboat. Single handed. 5 days no stop from Monastir (tunisia thru Bar Montenegro) and before that Marseille tru Monastir. No pb.

Just have to be in airplane mode because with GSM not being connected the GPS stop working...

For me pass the test :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] chewy106:
If you look at /system/media/audio/ui the lock sound files are missing. Hopefully the OTA planned drops them lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
I believe you can create a folder at the root of your sd card called media/audio/ui and place the sounds inside there. Same goes for ringtones and notification sounds.

media/audio/notifications

media/audio/ringtones
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Agreed!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rnapole:
Alright I thought that was just me.. but I'm gonna try the sd card thing and see if that works.. actually that means we can add any tone for the unlock..
[G2 and Desire Z General] philosophics:
Don't want to sound like an ass but WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?

Granted, my device may be different but my sounds have worked since minute one. I did have to enable them first though.

I disabled audible touch tone and enabled screen lock and screen selection sounds and no problems...

It's a know bug by now, nobody has unlock sounds. How about haptic feedback when pressing on touch keys and long press on the screen? Seems to not work for me. Vibrates for everything else that it suppose to so not a hardware problem.

That works for me. I only have the vibrating lock screen issue
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rnapole:

Just seen this in another forum. I can't get it to work with my hava hd wireless. Anyone have any luck with it?

I've been using testube for a while, using it for my titanium hd. I just heard that Monsoon Multimidea released the Vulkano app across many platforms and it's backwards compatible with the hava devices as well (not just the new vulkano devices). Its a free app, and though I havent used it yet, its seems just like what we've wanted.

Fellow iphone users have mentioned to me that the Vulkano app does infact work with the old hava devices.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Vicntc:
So I bought a nice T-Mobile MyTouch on eBay.

Unfortunately, when I submitted the IMEI to one of the popular unlocking companies, they tried but couldn't unlock the device.

"Once again I apologise for not being able to get the correct code for your mobile. Your only option may be your network operator or a local shop who can unlock via a cable."

Since I am in Canada and T-Mobile is a US based network, is there any option to unlock so I can use this phone on Rogers (canada)? Can I do it myself via USB Cable?

I did a quick search here for "USB unlock cable" and didn't find any exact matches so, given that my search skills may be lacking, can anyone provide any (polite and reasonable) suggestions? or am I SOL on the phone?

Thanks in advance. :o

There are plenty out there can unlock your phone with imei. You were getting scam one after another that's all. USB unclock is software mod. You have to do that every time u flash new rom. So I suggest you get imei unlocked.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajkumar484:
I have a question..

It is my understanding that unlock code is stored in a file in Vibrant.

So, in the process of flashing custom ROMs and then reverting back to stock, i used the stock ROM that was uploaded in an XDA thread.

Does it mean i have overwritten my unlock code? Can't i no longer use the unlock code that T-Mobile sent me? I haven't tried it (waiting for the JI6 to arrive on my phone).

Can this be ported to the incredible?

It's an awesome puzzle piece unlock, but when you have messages and whatnot, you drag diff. pieces to the open space to unlock to that app.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mb02:
I looked around on google, and i found in the vibrant forum that they were attempting to port it to their phone because they only had the puzzle unlock for new messages/missed calls and they wanted this lock screen too. even they had a considerable amount of trouble porting this to their own galaxy s phone that had the proper setup to make it an easy port. I'm guessing it may extremely difficult to maybe even impossible to port this over. I'm no real dev by any means, just making a guess here.

I've searched for this here and Google and can't find anything similiar. Two days ago I tried to use the camera to take a pic and the phone locked up. The rotating "working" ring icon just went on forever. Reset the phone, and tried again, same result. I changed the image size to the smallest and it would take a pic, and the preview looked fine, but the image itself when viewed was a scrambled mess of green and purple. Kept messing around with it and it and discovered that ONLY pictures are affected. Contact pics are fine, burst mode fine, panorama fine. Even video is no problem. The preview in album is even okay. Took a couple of samples off the phone and viewed them on my PC and they were either the same corrupt image, or wouldn't open and I got an error saying "Invalid JPEG file structure: two SOF markers". I'd figure I screwed something up, but I have changed absolutely nothing about the phone in weeks. Thanks for any help you can provide, I greatly appreciate it!
