But did you guys do the same thing I did (15% then charge overnight) and then get around the same life, on your first day? Is it likely my short charge the first time did any damage? And are there any apps to provide a more accurate battery meter, preferably in place of the stock one?

Thanks,

Rocky
[G2 and Desire Z General] robinsmy1:
I did nothing special. I put it on charge when I got it but did not do a full charge before leaving work and going home. Did a full charge that night.

I plug it in each night when I go to bed and it has been as high at 70% and as low as 30% depending on how much phone and data time I spent that day.

I unplugged mine today at 7:36am and at 4:06PM it is at 79%.

I use battery indicator from the market. It does not poll and only listens for the OS battery change broadcast so it does not use up battery by running. Some poll and as such use battery to report.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SeReaction:
The general thing about Lithium Batteries is that a full discharge is bad if the voltage level goes below a certain point to where the onboard circuits will disable that battery permanently. Most of the time the boards only do that if it's left discharged for a long time I believe, correct me if I'm wrong here.

Ideally, you're not supposed to turn on the phone when you got it. You were supposed to charge it till green and then you could use it, but I'm pretty sure not everyone can resist the temptation to turn on such an awesome phone ;). The battery life will blow the first week of use. I don't know why, but it just does; you'd have to break in that battery. Then the general rule I follow is to perform a full discharge once a month and then do a full recharge.

I also placed my phone on GSM AUTO PRL but for doing that I just exchanged some low 3G signal threshold for Edge; the extra battery life I got though is just that much more useful to me. Using WCDMA Preferred, the phone just wasted so much

To answer your questions, my experiences with the N1, Vibrant, and G2... battery life just blows in the beginning but gets better with use. The first charge you did shouldn't have damaged the battery but I think you may have wasted 2 of the possible 400-500 cycles that battery is capable of doing what you did. Finally, I use BatteryTime by Motalen for the status bar battery indicator which shows the % left.
[G2 and Desire Z General] RockySterling:
Yeah, it just sucks because the guy at the store literally put my SIM card in and then turned it on and handed it to me. I probably wouldn't have turned it on until it had charged if he hadn't, or at least I like to think so.

So it's good to do the discharge thing once a month, and probably not bad for the battery to let it dip down as long as I don't prolong it too much? And I'm okay to just charge it and use it during the day, basically, from now on?
[G2 and Desire Z General] phazedplasma:
Does battstat poll the battery or just listen?
[G2 and Desire Z General] grennis:
Nonsense. The battery runs down fast the first week because you got a new toy and you can't help playing with it all the time. After a while the novelty wears off and you use it a lot less. The battery doesnt just magically get better
[G2 and Desire Z General] RockySterling:
See but if that's true then I can only expect 4.5-5 hours of battery life which is not what the G2's supposed to get. Which means either I DID mess up my battery instead of just running through some cycles, or I have a bad one, but not horribly bad, just for some reason only like 60% as good as everyone else's. I do agree about the novelty thing (it's my first smartphone), but understand I was not really doing all that much when I drained my battery like I said. Not nearly as much as it should take.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
Those damn birds aren't content to kill pigs; they have to go after our batteries too!
[G2 and Desire Z General] SeReaction:
I'm hoping that's the case. I remember receiving my N1 and I got to relive my childhood days for 12 straight hours. Regardless it's pretty sad to say that I leave my G2 at home while at work and it's down from 100% to ~60% with Wifi on (and with it staying on in the advanced settings) and GSM Auto PRL; I work a 8 hours shift. I left my N1 at home to mess with my G2 at work and my N1 went from 100% to ~80%.

Those 100 extra milliamphrs shouldn't do that much of a difference. Not to mention the N1 is slower and on a 65nm process. Did I also mention that both my G2 and N1 run the same services and 3G is also disabled on my G2 since I don't have my new SIM activated yet? Also, Latitude is always on for my N1.

It's just my experience though. I'll give this a good thorough test when I get the time. That or pony up for an extended battery.

On the other hand, my wife's GalaS is doing just fine in terms of battery life. Matching my N1 with the same settings and services.

EDIT: for a quick answer on how to get data working go to post # 222 of this thread!

Hey Guys,

I have been following the thread about the Evo 4G working on boostmobile. I hope someone would be able to help me, I am a bit stuck. First off, I won't bother anyone with any "n00b-ness", as I do know how to use google to find my own information. Here's where I am right now:

I have a "new" EVO 4G that had its MEID marked bad because the previous owner did not pay ETF to sprint. I also had a BlackBerry tour that I managed to connect with BoostMobile using a bit of social engineering (insisting to the relatively naive CSR that it's NOT a blackberry, as its MEID would indicate). I went through all the QXDM and Hexeditor fun to zero out the ESN, and finally the elusive MEID. **I will not mention what I did next, please use your imagination. I do not want to cause any trouble on the forum for talking about (you know what). I then switched the BlackBerry tour into GSM mode, to prevent it from causing a conflict, but at the same time to allow the phone to power up so I could continue to retrieve data or settings off it. Once I changed the programming info (MDN/MSID), I was able to make and receive calls. SMS worked inbound and outbound. Then, I changed the MMS url to mm_myboostmobile_com. Now I was able to send and receive MMS messages. After rooting my Froyo 2.2, I installed the 2.1 EPST app to be able to update PRL via ##775# / ##PRL#. Now, I have been trying various different PRL files from different forums as well as corolada_com. I also copied NV items 465, 466, 1192, and 1194 from my BlackBerry. I still cannot get data working, not EVDO, not even 1x. I would be most grateful to anyone who will contribute to this thread in a positive, constructive way. And if you're a Python, C# .NET, Perl, or Java programmer, or an SQL Server admin, I would gladly share the plethora of information I have in these areas with you. Thank You.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsxrmonkey:
Ok, I have data working now. In the spirit of giving back to the community, here is what I did: I connected to the phone using Qualcomm QPST Service Programming, clicked Read and entered my MSL/SPC code. Then, under the M.IP tab, (you will only have this tab in a more recent build of QPST, I had to upgrade to build 348) I selected "profile 0" and clicked edit. Here, I unchecked the first checkbox which enables the profile. I wrote the changes to the device, and data began working. My rate is very pathetic, 100-200kbps. With previous device (blackberry tour 9630) this was over 5x faster. Maybe I am not getting EVDO? I will try several different PRL files and report results. I also heard that the HA and AAA secrets, stored in NV items 1192 and 1194 must be copied to authenticate for EVDO speeds. I am having trouble reading these from the (previous device) blackberry, particularly 1192. The resulting read in CDMA workshop produces an access denied error in the output file. QPST and QXDM don't even show these items in the nv items list at all, even if you click "File menu> read supported RF NV Items". All other items seem to show, but not these. Of course, you must send the MSL/SPC code before you attempt any nv item reading or writing. Has anyone else managed to transfer their boostmobile-specific HA secret and AAA shared secret from a blackberry onto an android device? What transfer rates are other boostmobile users getting on android devices in large metropolitan areas? (i'm in nyc).. I have heard some far-fetched solutions including "change your SPC to the old phone's SPC", is there any truth to this? Sorry if my thoughts are a bit disorganized. I will try to write a proper tutorial when I have time. Again, thanks to everyone that contributed to make my google searching a success, in this forum as well as others. Please feel free to put in your .02 as maybe I have overlooked something.

I had the same issue or rather kind of similar. I am getting an Error (NV_READONLY_S) in QPST while trying to write to the EVO. Any help on why its doing that? I have surpassed the meid/pesn zero thingy and txt talk just as you have but to get data wkng proves to be difficult. Please advise.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsxrmonkey:
unique, the problem with BB OS 5.0 and higher is that after a dead battery shutdown, it has the mobile network enabled on initial boot. Bosstalk, the NV_READONLY_S error can be ignored, the changes will stick anyway. What phone are you switching from? Did you try disabling the 0 profile under M.IP tab in QPST? Which PRL are you using?

Talk and Txt EVO but no Data

Can someone please lend a helping hand here. I am up to my wits with this one. Ive got txt and talk working on boost but somehow cannot get data.

(Error code 67)

My donor phone: HTC TP2 with boost

Evo: Rooted(unrevoked 3.2) with 2.2 Froyo update

Installed EPST.apk using Root explorer.

PRL used is 60660

Things Ive done so far:

1.Used QPST to match NV Items 465,466,1192 and 1194 from donor to evo using NV browser.

2. Used Qpst in the Mip tab and matched settings of the donor with the Evo

The only rough end that may be prohibiting my access is the fact that I cannot get an accurate AAA shared reading. I followed the SPC "msl" thingy then did the requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof command that gave me good ha shared numbers after the 0x. However the AAA yield 0x00 all the way thru. Im not getting a long string of characters as others have gotten. Please advise!!! I would greatly appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsxrmonkey:
I am at the same point.

I think the HA is "secret" in plaintext

the AAA I managed to get was very long and qpst service programming app refused to accept any key in hex over 32 chars. I believe the one I have is 64 chars.

Do I have to send 'mode offline-d' if the radio is disabled anyway?

If anyone knows a way around this please advise.

Donor phone is BlackBerry Tour 9630

Target phone is HTC Evo 4G with 2.2 Froyo rooted

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4f1050:
For ##DATA# is ##3282# and to pull the hex value use QXDM (you can find it on the net) and you will need QPST for the port server. In QXDM on most phones you send the MSL of the phone then request to read the password:

spc (your 6 digit msl)

requestnvitemread hdr_an_auth_passwd_long

On some phones you can get it with:

requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof

And to get the dial-up 6-digit AAA password of profile 1 just add a 1 at the end:

requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof 1
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savior02:
Ok I finally got my data icon to show up and my 1x data to work and the way I did it is I got my 6 digit AAA password from the donor rant phone straight from the device itself than I entered under profile 0 and profile 1 in my epic in QPST service programming secret as my ha user name and the 6 character password with text string selected. I used the same user name and password for both profiles because its the only way I get any data. But I can only get 1x. I tried changing primary & secondary servers but makes no difference. Any ideas why Im not getting 3g?

edit: n/m i figured it out
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4f1050:
If your donor is 1x that's all you're getting. And you don't use the same password. Provisioning is 16 hexadecimal digits and your account password is 6

Both use HA password "secret" (without quotes, of course)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savior02:
