recalibrate

set backlight to maximum

turn off powersaving

let the device run until it dies by itself

take out battery for 10 seconds

put it back in

turn on device

if device turns on - let it alone until it dies again

if the battery have fully discharge, hold the power button red led will blink

once you know battery is fully empty, you can

a. charge using the original acer desktop charger

b. charge using a phone with stock rom

c. charge using your phone (make sure phone is off until fully charge)

wait till green light. then you're done.

the premise of this.

1. every battery has a chip that tells the phone and power management system that either it is empty or charged (voltage level, temperature etc)

2. Flashing custom roms abrupts this transaction of info from battery to power management causing innacurate reading.

3. new base driver will detect different battery level, some are ok and some are not, unfortunately in my case it has a serious error.

4. recalibrating is just a remedy to make sure that both phone and battery starts reporting on power drain from 100 - 0

one more thing, if you think your phone is affected, charge at a minimum of 8 hours (sometime the green light will come out earlier due to the fact that it is not accurately reporting the battery charge)
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
Where did you find that? Because that is for the HTC Devices. The ROM's for the HTC's use different battery drivers.

For our Acer device there are drivers 2.002 and 3.003. None of the kitchen Chefs use the old battery drivers or replace something in the OEM package.

So, if I say to you that my ROM has 3.003 drivers then be shore - there is no difference between my ROM and the official Acer one.
[neoTouch S200 General] bevoc:
well these roms are not recalibrating automatically as they should
[neoTouch S200 General] bevoc:
yes there is a difference. new builds brings new improvements/change towards many features including power management. i am sure you have been around long enough to have experience improvement in kernel and memory management as well as power management.

driver 303c was specifically made for the old builds. not 6.5.3. so i guess the best way to be sure about the battery issue is to recalibrate. it is safe and it is free.
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
Yes, you are right. If the battery isn't functioning as it should - then it is best to recalibrate the battery.

But normally this won't happen if you first full charge the battery when you buy a phone and then turn it on.
[neoTouch S200 General] bevoc:
thanks

brainmaster, nice rom by the way, thanks for cooking. i'm using one of your rom now, i recalibrate and getting a good battery life good battery life.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] joespresso:
I have an Orange HTC Hero which is rooted and running MoDaCo Custom Rom 3.2

I 've kind of woken up and found that in the summer finally there is Android 2.1 available and some custom 2.2 as well it seems

Now it seems that with 2.1 you get automatic updates so I was thinking of flashing it with the original unlocked with firmware 2.73.405.6.

I'm not very techy so I would like to understand a bit more the implications. The other reason I was considering the original ROM is that apparently (at least the ones I've looked at) the custom roms with 2.1 lack HTC Sense.

Am I correct or have I got all the info wrong?

Thanks for your help
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
You can go official. Though its not without bugs.

There are versions of 2.1 with and without sense in terms of custom roms. Launcher pro is the favorite vanilla launcher at the moment. And its very nice.

All 2.2 roms are vanilla android currently.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joespresso:
thanks btdag

So, if I had to go with the official version. Does that mean that mean that my phone becomes unrooted again?

Thanks for tip on Launcher Pro. I've just seen some videos of it and it really looks nice

[General Questions and Answers] caessa:
Hi all,

I totally love Jumba's Bluesteel theme but unfortunatelly it's in WQVGA and I need QVGA. So I thought I change the images that didn't fit and create a own cab file to install the files.

I made a cab file with all image files and the xml file I need and I can install the theme once. The theme works fine but if I want to install a theme again I get the error message that the installation failed because I don't have the needed system authorization.

For the attributes of the files within the cab file I used a different theme I downloaded (I don't have a problem with this theme).

Does someone know what I'm doing wrong? At the moment I can only "fix" this with a hard reset.... but that's not a really good solution for me.

My "system":

- HTC Touch2

- WinCE CAB Manager

I hope someone can help me.

Bye,

Caessa

is it possible to connect to WPA Enterprise networks via WiFi? because I'm searching for a ROM which would allow to connect to the network on my university, which runs the following configuration:

SSID: eduroam

type: WPA-Enterprise

key exchange scheme: TKIP

authorization: EAP-PEAP-MSchapv2

IP: via DHCP

I tried it with the Energy ROM from the forum, but it doesn't allow me to enroll the certificate or it doesn't want to accept it. the other way round it doesn't allow me to enter a user name, I can only put in my password.

could somebody give me a hint what to do? I was searching the forum, found some registry hacks, but none worked :(

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S and just upgrade to 2.2 Froyo. I'm just wonder a things that. Do you know why Samsung Galaxy S only displays that It has 304mb Ram. Samsung confirmed that Galaxy S has 512mb Ram. Why the phone displays too little ram like that.

When I use 2.1 Android. Galaxy S displayed 348mb Ram and now on 2.2 Android the number is 304mb.

Can you explain that for me?? Thanks all you guys alot.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oletros:
The main problem is people expects that this phone will work as advertised. And if Samsung sells it sying that it has 512MB of RAM I will want to work like other phones which have 512MB of RAM, not like a phone which have 292MB of RAM.

And yes, you don't change anything, it seems that you have an exceptional SGS which doesn't lags, doesn't have low memory problems, GPS works like a charm. If someone whines about GPS, memory, lag is always fault of the user, not the phone.

The fact is that sgs do has 512MB ram.

And none of the smartphone has all ram free for the user.

Im NOT a Samsung fanboy.

But i know what i did buy and i know how to fix things.

I also have iphone to compare this sgs with.

But many people are to lazy to read information and learn about things.

They buy this phone and only read some advertising for it and THINK they know about it.

80% of the people that's has bought this phone and complain should not bought it. Its not the right phone for them.

My girlfriend did buy a sgs to.

She did compare this phone and the iphone. It was a easy choice for her. But if she did not have the 2 phones and could compare them and have me to ask and have me to modifies the phone i guess she would choose the iphone. Just for she had heard much about it.

@DamianGto, i don't know if you are a samsung fanboy, really, i don't care, but sure you behave like one of them. you are everywhere, like your counterpart oletros, bashing people, never being constructive. you are not a knight, galaxy s is an object, not your princess...and yes, like any other smartphone it has problems. yeah, i know, don't be upset, your galaxy s is just perfect, i was talking about others sgs :)

it's not a phone, it's a smartphone...i think sgs is too much for you, you don't need it to make phone calls, you'll be fine with a 30 euros phone...then you can tell people "it's just a phone!" :D

just a question...why do you still have your iphone? why don' you sell it and buy another super-amazing sgs? you can buy two sgs with an iphone, what are you waiting for?? :)

@oletros, come on, you behave like my grandfather, always talking about how good was staying in germany and how bad italy was...everytime he was whining about my country for about 40 years. he died here, never moved to germany. it's not your worst enemy, you bought it, you can sell it...and guess what? there are people who will buy it :) it's not bound to you, it's not like an arm, you can get rid of it if you really want...but! if you don't want to...please stop with all this anger (toward sgs), you'll live better if you start searching for solutions instead of wasting your energy (and your mental health) on whining...everybody knows sgs problems, there is no need to repeat them. :)

It's true that i write alot.

I know i bash at people sometimes but its only when they repeat same things over and over. You can easy get the answer on that if they read in the forum.

I only got the iphone to play games on. Android don't have much games that good.

That's bad for sgs is alot better in the hardware then iphone.

Its also true i don't use it so much for phone calls.

I do use it like a mini computer.:-P

I can't say i did like my sgs so much when i did bought it. But after flashing it and tweaking the phone it has been very good.

I also know i have a very good sgs that all things works on.

The gps is almost flawless.

So yes i do like my sgs. But after all thing i have done with it.

The same things all person can do if they read the forums.

The main different between me and many people is that if i got a problem i seek a solution on that. I don't whining in tread after tread about the problem.

You don't learn anything if you whining and don't seek solution on problem you got.

Ok. Here JP6 Froyo with voodoo lag fix.

DamianGto

- please tell me a solution that fixes the lag in touch wiz application drawer (ca be seen if you have 5-6 pages of apps and slide fast, or pinch to zoom out)

- please provide a solution for fixing the swype lagging input.

- please provide a solution for an efficient memory&cpu wise browser.

If your soulutions is "replace the apps", than no thank you.

Now back on the subject, the available RAM is a real issue. People who browse a lot can observe this. Even a single page (such as pocketnow.com desktop version or any other a little heave website) can make the browser eat so much RAM (more than 140MB) and CPU that makes the phone unstable. How many times my opened apps were closed (even launcher,etc) :). Or how many times my browser closed itself as a) foreground application; b) when opening another app such as music player.

So DamianGto please don't make it feel as it's not a real issue. This it is. It ruins the joy of multitasking. You cannot have Skype, or Messenger opened while browsing cos' you get the risk the apps to be vanished because of the free memory :(

So Samsungs' Froyo is a piece of sh*t that ruins the joy of using the phone.

The RAM is not an issue for people that are using the phone as a media player or for phone calls.

Sigh. Once you replace the ROM, kernel and change the file system layout, it is no longer a SGS. The phone shouldn't require you to be 15 years old and have you replace all of its software in order to gain an appreciable level of performance.

It is useless to reply to legitimate questions about lag and whatnots with stuff like replace your ROM, uses ext4 or whatever. People are buying a SGS for the feature they get with it. If they assumed that would flash our phones with ROMs made by one person, outside of specs and that could seriously render the phone unusable once said person try to reflash a standard ROM, then, just refrain to answer questions.
