Where's the fun in that? Standby most of the time except for phone calls! You overpayed if all you wanted was a simple phone.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Those are reasonable numbers and I have gotten that same use out of the stock battery. This phone is a joy to play with rather than letting it sleep all the time.

[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
I know that people talk about losing the first 10% in like 10 minutes, but has anyone ever noticed how long it takes to lose the last 10% of the battery? That sht is frustrating, going from 90 to 70 for me takes only about an hour, but the last 10% for me can carry me another 3 hours or so. My battery is teasing me.
[EVO 4G General] titansfan745:
Tip

If you want to keep that first 10% longer and not lose it right away then you need to charge you phone; unplug when green LED appears, and then reboot into recovery, go to advanced menu and select wipe battery stats. Turn your phone back on and plug in the charger, this time when the LED goes green you will truly be at "100%" battery. I know some people won't do this but I have done it twice a month since I've had my phone with no issues whatsoever...
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Haha! No kidding.

"Hey look everyone! My laptop lasts for 34 days on one charge if it's in hibernation mode the whole time!"

:D
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
I'm on Netarchy's universal aggressive undervolting kernel and i no longer need to do that, in the first 15 mins im still on 100, and usually off the charger my screen is on the whole 15 mins.

Plus, apparently there is some kernel that will be in the later CM nightlies that will stop the losing 10% in 10 minutes crap. Just gotta wait til 6.1 is already released...>.<
[EVO 4G General] sling:
I posted my battery finding in fresh thread a couple days ago but it started getting ugly with a couple post calling me a liar.

Thats ok but not in his thread so I brought my post here feel free to call me a liar lol or ask me about settings & conditions that brought such great battery life

In yesterdays test roughly same as above I found more battery life taken leaving me with 51% when Slacker widget running in background & volume set at highest level no song cache active.

grrr The LiveProfile update yesterday also put extra hit on life as well so uninstalled till fixed :(
[EVO 4G General] LiveProfile:
sling email me support at liveprofile.com I would like to help out. The last update reduced battery usage not increased it.
[EVO 4G General] civicsr2cool:
For everyone thinking there phone sees HEAVY usage.. My battery life is usually around 2-2.5 hours maximum. I have three batteries I swap out during the day and am plugged in during the first ~10 hours of the day. I have to plug in after the third battery(which happens to be close to bedtime most if the time) since they do not charge as fast as I can drain them.

My screen makes it to standby maybe only 10 times a day.. I never stop using this thing. I surf the web 22 hours a day(insomnia) and text the entire day. I listen to Pandora for a total of an hour per day. And make less than 30 minutes of phone time a day. What I'm guessing is the biggest killer for me is the screen since I never give it a break. WiFi, gps, 4g, Bluetooth, sync are all off. I have noting set to autosync at all since I will find the new email before the phone does.

I am on a fresh Rom and don't use sense, I run one almost blank pallet with launcher pro plus with netarchy's cfs kernel and I couldn't tell you how much normal battery life should be for me but I feel like I'm maxed out on options.

Anyone else use their evo this hard and get similar results?
[EVO 4G General] thlinx:
Well you know when you buy a new car and its awesome and it has that new car smell? Well that's your evo right now. Just wait a week when every sprint app constently needs connection to there servers. Just go browse the net for a bit. Your phone isn't some special edition phone. I purchased a extended life battery for my evo and its been great.
[EVO 4G General] michaelm718:
I've noticed that 4g is a HUGE battery killer. Do you have 4g enabled? Without 4g I get 2-4 extra hours of battery.
[EVO 4G General] CCallahan:
My Evo has been going for days and days and still at 100% battery!

Oh wait.....it is sitting on a Powermat. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] masber2000:
I'm having the same issues, I'm trying other rom (had Fresh) and kernel combinations to see if I can find a solution. I had great battery life a few months ago, but recently my battery life has gone down the drain.
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
The only time I see bad battery life is for 1-3 days after flashing a new rom or kernel. My wife has a Samsung Captivate and my Evo's battery life kicks the cappy's butt. In the Captivates defence, she has to use active sync with her work server which I do not.

I am currently using Fresh 3.3.0.1, Netarchy 4.1.9.1 cfs havs. I unplug about 8:00 AM, and normally plug back in at 11:30 PM. Usually have between 20 and 30 percent left in my stock battery when I plug in at night.

I would say I do moderate usage. An average day would be, phone calls, usually no more than an hour total.

I listen to Pandora going to and from work, slightly over an hour total. I usually play one game a day of Wordwise with the wife (kills her phones battery, but is hardly noticable on my Evo). A couple games of Solitair (Solitair Free Pack app probably kills my battery worse than any other single thing I do with the phone) and about 1-2 hours of reading (Kindle, Nook, Aldiko, or FBReader app). I estimate that I spend about a half an hour a day using ColorNote for notes to self or making shopping lists. I usually only do about a half hour total web browsing or YouTube on my phone in a day.

I sync contacts, gmail and have twitter and AirMail running constantly.

Weather syncs every 3 hours.

GPS is always on, no 4g here so that is never on, and I hardly ever use bluetooth.

Frankly, I don't really understand a lot of the battery complaints. I have actually been pleasantly surprised how long the battery life is compared to the other brands of smart phones my buddies have. It isn't as good as my previous phone (Samsung S30), but then again, my Samsung was pretty useless for anything other than phone calls. I didn't use it near as much as I use the Evo, if I had, I am pretty sure the battery life in it would have been worse than the Evo's is.

So yea, I too think the Evo's battery life is great.
[EVO 4G General] 2_hotty:
The battery life on mine has recently become terrible. I have no idea why. I have 4g, wifi, and bt turned off. Screen brightness turned down. I'm running stock 2.2 rooted. Everything was fine till about a week ago. Fine being that I could almost make it from 8:00am to 5:00pm on one charge. Not a huge deal because I would just plug it in when I'm at the office.

Today I took my phone off the charger at 8:00am, and at 11:30am it was dead. Same settings as above. This has been happening a lot lately. Last Saturday I took my phone off the charger at 2:45pm and it was at 78%. At 7:00pm it was dead. Maybe two phone calls, and not a lot of other usage at all. I don't have anything auto updating either.

I think my battery is just shot actually. I ordered an extended battery today, and will pick it up tomorrow. I hope it will fix my issues, because right now, this makes my Pre battery look good.
[EVO 4G General] Kaarukun:
Yea, something must either is running that's either eating up your battery or your battery is shot.

I'm at 80% at 4:30PM, unplugged since 9AM. Wifi, 3G, and GPS all on. played a bit of angry birds and have my email polling at about every 30 min. Push email was on for the 1st half of the day though.
[EVO 4G General] alwaysbelieve1:
How do you have ur phone sync at various times like that. Do you have an app for that?
[EVO 4G General] 2_hotty:
I'm pretty sure its the battery.

I left my office today at 5:00pm with my phone at 80%.(just unplugged) I took 2 phone calls, maybe 3 minutes tops. Played angry birds when I got home for 5 minutes, and thats it. At 7:19pm my phone gave me the 10% warning.

I cant wait to get my new battery tomorrow, lol.
[EVO 4G General] neodorian:
I tend to get pretty good battery life. Better than my Pre but not quite as good as some of the previous Win Mobile phones I had. Makes sense really since the old WM phones had slower processors and smaller screens.

Granted, it's all relative but for the specs of this phone I find it perfectly adequate for daily use. I just treat it like my laptop or any other battery-dependent device. If I'm not using it, then I don't leave it running. When the phone is just in my pocket I leave wifi, bluetooth, and wimax off. If I am in a control room or other area of my office building with poor signal penetration but good wifi coverage, I turn the wifi on. Google and Exchange are set to only receive messages as they come in. I don't have widgets like Facebook, Twitter, etc. on my desktop or set to auto sync. I just open them when I want to use them which means I only sync when it matters. This means my phone is able to get emails, calls, and text messages as they come in but otherwise the radios are idle when not in use.

I work a relatively late schedule (noon to 8:30pm) so I usually take the phone off the charger around 9 or 10am when I get up. When I get home at 9pm I'm usually around 50% if I didn't charge at all during the day. The other half of keeping my battery charged is that I have a USB cable at my desk and a charger in the car. That way if I do something at work that drains the battery (browsing the web for a few hours while monitoring a video shoot or running any data-centric app in a low-signal area) I can put it on the USB cable when I get back to my desk. If I am in the car for hours and need navigation or streaming radio I just toss it on the car charger. If I get home from work on a Friday night and plan on going out to the bars, I usually top it off for a couple of hours while getting ready since that last 50% might end up at 20% by the end of the night after texting, calling people, screwing around with foursquare or uploading snapshots to Facebook. Topping off to 75-80% before going out means I can use it all I want without worrying.

In the rare event that I am away from a charge for a long time (all day outdoor concert, etc) I might turn off data or even put it in airplane mode for a while just to make sure I have plenty of juice for photos or videos when I need it.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble.

tl;dr version: charge when convenient, turn off stuff not in use, don't expect a phone with specs like my circa-2001 PC to run forever off a tiny battery. I have yet to run out of juice in an important situation. Compared to friends with iPhones, Droids, Pres, and other high end phones with large touch screens and multiple radios, my Evo gets roughly the same battery life with similar use.

[Vibrant General] chadti99:
So when do you think we'll see a game that uses the Six-Axis sensor in the Vibrant, or any of the Galaxy S phones for that matter? I've tried the six-axis controls in Gameloft's Nova, for iPhone4, and it works very well. You can aim your sight by moving the phone which gives you much greater precision. They also just released Star Battalion that takes advantage of the sensor. I'm hoping Gameloft or someone else gets on-board with the GalaxyS and six-axis support.

Anyone else excited?
[Vibrant General] flunik:
Does galaxy s have six axis sensor?
[Vibrant General] Erickomen27:
Yes.

But I Haven't Been Able To Comprehend This Function... Whats Better An Accelerometer Or Six-Axis?

Ok I Know Its Six-Axis But I Mean What Is It Used For?

I Know What it Does And What It Is.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
That would be sweet. I have Nova on my phone now... aiming via movement would be sweet.
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
I believe we only have 3 axis because all we have is the accelerometer. The iPhone has 6 axis because it has an accelerometer and gyroscope.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Nope, all the Galaxy S phones have six-axis.

The only reason we haven't seen support is that the Galaxy S line may be one of the only Android platforms with this sensor. I'm guessing developers won't work too hard at this until there's enough of a user base to take advantage of it.
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
Really? I wasn't aware of that. That's pretty cool then but I don't know how much user base they'd need with 5 million Galaxy S phones sold.

hey guys,

just wondering what all the hype is going on at the moment?

regarding the official 2.2 release i mean.

"CM6 final" has been out i think since september (i think) and that's froyo 2.2, so what's the deal or difference to the official 2.2? why is everyone freaking out and posting roms if CM6 has been available for quite some time now and CM roms offer way more functions, etc?

i don't get it, please someone lemme know why the official release should be any better?!

thx,

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vercetti:
@ first two posters: wow, very informative, thank you.

@ last poster: thx. ok that makes sense. still doubt it though that a stock rom can compete with an overclocked kernel running at 650+mhz, rooted, brutmaps for international navigation,... just to name very few functions that unofficial roms feature.

i'll definetely try an official version as soon as there is a reliable version. to see if it has any advantage. we'll see.

thx,

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I've tried a few different roms, including CM5 and CM6, and nothing is as fast or as stable as my oem 1.6, rooted w/universal androot and overclocked to 528mhz.

If you're gonna compare, don't compare a modded version of the official rom, use the actual official rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vercetti:
alright, I need some help now:

there are a couple different releases in the development section and I don't understand which one is the actual official one. so far there are 4 versions (here are the thread starters):

bladyle

amazinglarry311

dasunsrule32

crios

would someone be kind enough to give a quick explanation (not in detail) what the differences are and what rom is the closest-to-official?

are they all just work arounds to make the OTA release work on all htc magics and the cookers are trying different approaches? one is changing something with the spl, one is using a CM6 rom, one is taking files from different roms and using adb commands to set everything up,...

I'd appreciate some help!

thx,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillovic:
Hi.

How come us European users can flash our European gt-i9000 to the Chinese version, but we cannot flash to the Korean version?

Does anybody here know how to flash the Korean DH09 version (or the newer Korean DI29 Froyo version) onto the European phone?

I understand that the Korean Galaxy S is slightly different hardware-wise, but it should be possible with a little hack, shouldn't it?

The Korean firmware has a few very interesting additional features such as native conversation recording for instance (which should be included in all versions if you ask me)

Hardware-wise the Korean Galaxy S isn't much different from the European one. These are the only differences I could find:

Korean:

Digital Media Broadcast: T-DMB digital tuner Pull-out antenna

Analog Radio: Not supported

European:

Digital Media Broadcast: Not supported

Analog Radio: FM radio (87.5-108MHz) with RDS radio reciever Proprietary headset as antenna

The unofficial Korean DI29 Froyo firmware can be downloaded from here

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
Well, I'm downloading the link now. If call recording is part of the phone apk, which I hope it is, I'll try to extract it. Hopefully then it will install (and work) on our euro phones.

EDIT: Ok, here is the extracted phone.apk + phone.odex from that firmware. I don't know if phone_util or anything else is required...

If anyone wants me to extract other files, I can do.

I'm too weary to brick my phone, so i won't try to push these files to my phone. I don't really understand deodexing and whether it is necessary before pushing phone.apk, or whether the odex needs to be deleted...

From my limited knowledge... it might work if you use root explorer (or equivalent), remove phone.odex, and overwrite the old phone.apk with this korean one.

Hopefully someone with better knowledge can work on this.

p.s. No responsibility for any bricks/damage that may occur.

Im running a rooted Desire with LEEDROID rom 2.2b

I have superuser access (double-checked through terminal) and everything is pretty much working.

However, in Rom Manager if i go to fix permissions i get the error saying "An error occurred while running privileged commands".

Ive installed busybox through Titanium and double checked everything, yet I cant get the permissions fixed. This is especially nerve-wracking since i keep getting "Force Close" errors with many applications and this should fix it.

Ive tried clean wiping and reflashing the rom but it didnt work. Ive also tried re-rooting with Unrevoked, but it didnt work.

Please advise.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oqudsi:
I did S-off, however it got stuck after an hr on step 3. So I pulled out battery and rebooted and I got the Alpha-rev home screen and it shows alpharev in fastboot.

I then re-installed the rom and deleted all the data. But still i get the same stupid warning from Rom Manager.

Im going to kill someone soon. :(

Don't take my word on it, but i think that when you call Asurion's for a replacement they send you a new one, and the replacements under warranty are refurbished.
[Vibrant General] neoseal:
With your new replacement you might want to be extra careful with it. I was told on a phone I had to replace that it would no longer be covered under manufacturers warranty through T-Mobile and if you ever had any problems you would have to go through Asurion for any replacement. This was a few years ago so I am not sure if it is correct still or not but I thought I would give you a heads up from what they told me when I replaced a phone.
[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:
How can I check to see if mine is hardware locked
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
New phones come in new boxes with the tape still on them, since they have never been opened. It'll still have all the factory packaging on them, etc.

If your phone is on backorder, then you have a 99% chance of getting a new phone (I got 2 brand new replacements :P).

If not, then you have maybe a 50% chance of getting a brand new phone.

Maybe you'll be lucky and get the phone I just sent back. Only thing that was wrong is that I locked myself out of it (it was a brand new replacement, locked myself out the next day :P). I did put the purple cover on it to keep the black one, though, and it was hardware-locked XD
