[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
10-20% at night with such an amount of stuff sounds pretty much normal/good

i'd recommend removing noled and using BLN, saves quite a bit of power.

also i use a static wall paper (got bored of the live one quickly and ofc uses more battery)

and not too many widget (most are useless)

ive 3G always on, and wifi always on / all logged in at home (otherwise syncs are like every 1 or 2h + instant push email when on 3G)

of course i use the phone for various things during the day but it's not *always* being used, i'm more of a regular guy. maybe 1-2H non-stop altogether of web/game/mail/etc.

getting 50% when it's sleep time usually
[Galaxy S I9000 General] compuse:
It can play divx well over 8 hours (tv+samoled working at the same time)

His batterylife is more then i'm expecting of a phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
I get good battery life at idle on eclair, 2g mode, sync off. 5-6 hours and 0% battery lost, its having the screen on and cpu use that kills the battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iandummanao:
i've just been using my new galaxy s i9000 for 5 days now. my battery couldn't last for 24 hrs too. i wanna try JPJPA. what is it and how do i install it? sorry but i'm not a technical person.

your help will be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] regP:
I too am curious to know what effect installing a new kernel would have on my battery but like iandummanao get really confused when looking through kernal threads as far as all the different selections there are. +9000 internets for someone who's kind enough to thrown down some knowledge!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] regP:
For what its worth I've seen some improvement in battery life over the last week. When I first got my phone I was lucky to get 4 hours out of it with moderate to heavy use. The last few days I've been getting over 6 hours per charge.

Today After 6 hours 30min I was down to 6% battery. Thats with over 2 hours of screen on time during which I used the web browser, facebook, handcent, and a few under 2 minute youtube videos. Radio is locked to 3g, screen brightness is a little under half of the bar, Setcpu set to 400-1000mhz conservative and 400mhz when phone is locked. No 3rd party task/battery managers.

So I suppose there is hope. My eBay battery is performing about the same, maybe a little better. Both batteries have been used till shut off then charged twice. Hopefully I'll see more improvement but if not I can more than live with this battery life. Those who have been saying the battery gets better over time may be on to something. I think its worth noting though that the ebay battery performed better out of the box than the Samsung battery did. I got almost an extra hour and a half out of it the first time I used it. Just wanted to share.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lokhor:
Why would you set the cpu to run at 400mhz when the phone is locked? by default it drops to 100mhz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] regP:
Default by the app or by the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] compuse:
Yesterday, after 8:00, I used google maps for 2 hours, called for about 45/60 minutes, used Wifi for 15 minutes and browsed in the car for like 10 minutes ..and I kept him alive the whole day, .. the last 4% took more then 6 hours!! (haven't saw it shutting down, I were on time; plugging it in at 0:00)

I tested less then 2% on idle drain, the day before, thats with having a hsdpa reception at all times
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
I know that once the track ball gets old it gets dirty. I was trying to find out if possible to trade out the ball and replace with the desire track pad. It will be a nice feature to have and not worry of track ball getting dirty again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Not worth it to even try. You would have to modify the body of the phone and if you aren't accurate it will look tacky. Not to mention the loss of trackball wake and notification. Even if the hardware/software support the modification, it's still a bad idea.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
Yeah I kind of figured. Six month already and its getting dirty. What do you guys suggest doing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinl1030:
it would be much easier to just buy another oem trackball and change it out for that once it gets dirty anyways. or you can turn your phone facedown onto a piece of printer paper and roll the trackball around. the paper picks up a lot of dirt from the trackball but i wouldnt do this unless you have a screen protector.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
I really haven't had any problems, maybe once/twice it would be a little stuck and just pressed on it and rolled it for a quick second and cleared the debris.

Hi everyone,

My homescreen keep rebooting after I installed a live wallpaper from Puerto Rico, just to want to know if theres any other way to reset the phone to factory, because cant get to the settings screen. I took bat out, I turned off phone, and nothing works...

Thanks for your help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodles2224:
Hold volume down, power, and trackpad then it will allow you to factory reset

[Captivate General] ask_j:
Hi,

I had to rebuild my laptop and Now I have win 7 64 bit. I was earlier rooted and installed Kies successfully. I have following build

Model Number : SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

Firmware Version : 2.1-update1

Baseband version : I897UCJF6

Kernen version : 2.6.29

jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build Number : ECLAIR

I want to install Kies and the ability to sync my phone with the computer. Now I am getting very confused. I see many threads with some new Kies Version. I see the threads with the new rooting and I think new OS build also and it fixed GPS issues?

I also read the new guide for rooting and it says that I will be able to sync up with my iTunes etc..

Can someone please help me in understanding the sequence in which I should update?

Thanks a lot for help.
[Captivate General] creepyncrawly:
I'm assuming your phone is still rooted? You would want to update to I897UCJH7. That is the updated 2.1 rom that was originally sent over the air (ota). You would not want to perform the ota update with a rooted phone, however. There is a mini-kies way of installing it. This helped some people with GPS issues, but was not considered a real fix. See here: http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=338212

I have never had an iPod or iPhone, so I never used iTunes. I do remember reading that there is an app that can take the place of iTunes, or something like that, but I'm sorry, I don't remember the details. You will be able to install the full version of kies on Windows 7, but you will probably have to download it from the Samsung UK site, or somewhere. (That's different from mini-kies, btw.) Follow the instructions in one of the threads about that. But I don't know from personal experience if you will be able to do the syncing you want.

Hope that helps a little. Maybe someone else can fill in more.
[Captivate General] ask_j:
Still few questions.

I am rooted. So what is procedure of upgrading in case of I am rooted. Also If I install mini Kies to upgrade, will I be able to install full kies version? Or I do not need full Kies version as the mini kies can take care of syncing the phone with computer?

Last question is related to 2.1. Some people refer to 2.2 also? Is that stable build? or should I wait some more time before upgrade to 2.2? I mean currently upgrade to 2.1 and then wait for some more time to upgrade to 2.2?

Please help
[Captivate General] creepyncrawly:
You would not want to perform the ota update while rooted. People who tried it found it borked their phone in some way. But the mini-kies method works with a rooted phone. I'm not even sure AT&T is still pushing out the ota anyway.

I don't really know. Never had mini-kies installed. I updated to JH7 by installing Cognition. I'm currently running Cognition 2.1.6. If you use mini-kies to install the update, you can presumably uninstall it, just like any other windows program, after you complete the update and before you install the full kies version.

2.1 Eclair is stable. 2.2 Froyo is not officially released as yet. A 2.2 version was leaked about a month or so ago, but it must be considered a beta version. There are bugs and other issues still not resolved. However, there are several roms available based on the leaked version of 2.2, and at least one based on a more recent leaked version. Hundreds of people are running some version of Froyo. You just have to decided if the bugs and issues are a problem for you vs whether you need / want the new features. As I said, I'm still running eclair (cognition 2.1.6) and will wait until after the official 2.2 release to upgrade.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickCain:
So this phone has been sitting in my closet for over a month and want to try and find a way to get it back to working. I am pretty sure it happened flashing a euro ROM and it not recovering or I re-partitioned a 2.2 odin ROM (can't remember). I have tried every trick posted on this forum with no luck. Here is the way it boots the second I connect the USB to the phone and/or when trying to do the volume up/down and power button. I can access the phone view adb and tell it to reboot download, but just goes right back to recovery. I even tried pushing the update.zip but no luck as it can't mount e:/.....

Now I remember a link to a Youtube video that actually fixed the vibrant I have now and for the life of me can't find the link. He did something different that the other 10002831 videos showing how to access download mode.

Anybody have advice or is this one truly BRICKED??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDragomir:
This is what un-bricked my Vibrant.

http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/

Just follow the steps and it should fix your phone. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickCain:
Problem is it won't go into download mode.... the second the USB is plugged into the phone it boots into recovery.... I see the battery symbol for maybe a split second and it goes right into recovery; doesn't require any buttons to be pushed.

adb reboot download = reboots into recovery...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gentw0:
Have you tried reinstall packages and then trying to get into download mode?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygamer1:
I had a similar problem once. Here's what worked for me:

Take your battery out

Plug in USB cable

Hold both volume buttons

Put battery back in (while still holding the volume buttons)

I'm pretty sure that was it, but if not try fiddling with those steps a bit. The gist is that you should be holding the volume buttons when the battery goes in, which gets the phone into download mode right away.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gentw0:
Had a similar problem and that seemed to clear it up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickCain:
I have tried for a good five hours combined over a two day period and have come to the conclusion the buttons don't do much. The only thing I do know is the up and down are no reversed...

The only thing I don't get is some instructions say to hold the vol down, home, and power. I assume that is only for the EU versions as the home button on the vibrant is a soft key.

can't reinstall packages when the phone doesn't see the sdcard.....

I just wish I could find that youtube video as they guy had a special way to getting into download mode that was different than any other one on the internet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
with phone off, hold both vol +/- and plug in usb cable. that looks like a voodoo error where all ur data is on ext4 still...but yeah that will get u into download mode
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickCain:
Nada... just boots straight to recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thuynh022:
The only way that i was able to get into download mode was to hold just volume down and power while the phone was off.

So pull battery.

Install battery.

Hold Volume down+Power button.

Then connect usb.

Or you can try to hold volume down+power button+plug in usb at the same time.

I tried every other way of getting into download mode but none worked.

Hope this some how helps you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
So, as long as the USB is plug in, the phone immediate enter recovery? Even when the phone was originally off, then the USB is plugged in later?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickCain:
Yes, the second the USB is connected it goes straight to that screen in the OP. I don't have the opportunity to hold the vol up/down as it boots instantly (and holding them prior to connecting the USB ends in the same recovery screen)....

I have since bought a new Vibrant but would like to get this one working so it can be sold....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickCain:
Well I actually FIXED this phone!!!! I followed the below instructions in the past but failed to read it completely...... You must following step 4 to the tee and not press the re-install packages until you are constantly forcing the push from ADB. Needless to say it pushed the update file and then I removed the battery and instantly got into download mode and flashed back to stock.

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

First Part

1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.

The post is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804305

2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command

3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>

4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.

5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.

6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.

7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission

8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.

9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.

10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.

If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part

5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied..... not sure what you mean by that thx
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demize!:
Try taking out the sim card while entering download mode, that's what did it for me, and don't make any odd facial expressions and keep a good posture. Gremlins...

Is your phone Loki? Use Odin. You'll be Thor!
[Trophy General] raphabitbol:
Hi all !

I own a HTC Trophy since Friday !

I'm really happy with it after three days of intensive use...

But i'm somewhat disappointed by WP7 ; since i'm a .NET developper i would have love to do side-loading for my apps.

But not yet...

And Apps are a bit poor. Nevermind ; i think it will be better in the future !

So, my question is ; is there any chance to have in the future a Android ROM released ?

Thx all for your answers

Raph
[Trophy General] AngryNil:
Android requires better specs to achieve similar performance. It's not just the device's specs that make it smooth - it's WP7.

Simple question: how many applications do you usually have LOADED on your device? You don't need a 100000 app marketplace.

I thought developers can obtain sideloading devices/permissions?
[Trophy General] The Gate Keeper:
the speculation around side loading is that if you have a developer account (USD$99), then you can sideload to your windows phone. Also further adding to this is the suppose $99 cash-back after submitting 2 paid applications to market place.

In saying that, and answering your question, I think it will take quite some time for Android to make it's way onto any phones running windows phones as it could be a lot harder to get to the boot loader as i'm sure we don't have the same process of updating (android/wm6.5 = reflash) compared to wp7 where it is through Zune/OTA.
[Trophy General] lqaddict:
:rolleyes:

I don't believe you will be able to run an Android port on this thing unless you can hack the bootloader, I haven't seen any progress whatsoever in the dev section for WP7.
[Trophy General] ericc191:
Give it time.. once WP7 is officially available throughout the world, the development of it will explode. :D

I been mirroring things.

We have fission, etc- everything to SBF (Saved my ass, laptop broke- had to use someone else's- I enjoy my fast as hell easy to use repository :))

So anyways then I read about new full SBF isn't released yet because of it's motorola proprietary code?

In that case I'll probably start a droid repo only on servers in a country without DMCA laws :rolleyes:

Let me know- and if some guys want to set up and have access to publish files on this node I'll give certain people access. I don't have a PC setup yet but you can email me at chris aaaaat evilpuma.com

I've donated dozens of terabytes over the years, don't thank me but assist me in helping others. Tis was a pain in the arse to even get the SBF files the first time- glad I mirrored it.

(Sidenote since I'm sure devs only wont read: I don't want to host copyrighted apk's and what not. Not because I can't but because it's rude to the nice people who created that software. Get those apk's that cost $$$ from google and save them on your SD card- never need to DL again ;))
[Droid 2 Android Development] theecho:
SBF 2.3.20 is out.
[Droid 2 Android Development] cmanns:
I been going forum to forum, so it's not copyrighted?

Sorry I read that it can't be released fully, so the full SBF is out?

My question is it legal to host SBF's in USA or not ;) (& wheres the 2.3.2 at, MDW?)

thanks echo- been kinda out of the loop. Glad to see fissions hit 2.x!
[Droid 2 Android Development] theecho:
Yes MDW. They have it linked to a megaupload. Check your pm.
[Droid 2 Android Development] cmanns:
Ah yes thats where I was reading bout it needing permission to be released haha
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
It technically is copyrighted and does contain proprietary code. However, the internet is flooded with SBF/SHX files from motorola as well as their RSDLite, RSD General, and other softwares, and I never once heard of anyone or any site getting a take down for having or posting them. Motorola generally plays nicely with the modding community (aside from locking down their phones).

Now, LG on the other hand...
[Droid 2 Android Development] cellzealot:
Generally speaking, there is lot's of proprietary Motorola stuff everywhere, but Motorola is not "playing nice" with the modding community at all.

RootzWiki received a C&D for posting SBF files and MDW also was served with a C&D for posting the 2.3.9 OTA update.zip a month before it was released.

They are very serious about protecting their IP and doing everything possible to make all of what has been done so far on DX and D2 useless or of very limited value going forward. That is why they are including a new bootloader with every release now to prevent going back to prior versions.

Blanket statements about their willingness to allow such things to be posted are not valid unfortunately.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
Historically, it's never been motorola against the modding community. If we're gunna point fingers at those responsible for the current closed model push, I think we need to start with the carriers...
[Droid 2 Android Development] cellzealot:
History unfortunately does not reflect the current situation.

I have always felt that there was tacit support from inside Motorola for the modding and hacking community. I don't know if that was actually the case or if it was simply lax security and apathy, but it all changed when Sanjay Jha took over a saved Moto from oblivion. He is a former Qualcomm exec and is by nature extremely security conscious and this new push for control and lockdowns of the new phones is entirely his initiative and not coming from VZW at all.

He is committed to this new regime and sees protection of Moto's IP as key to the future success of the company. They are trying to establish themselves with a secure platform for enterprise use and wrestle that market away from RIM. The coming move to LTE will only solidify this position and all of these new methods they are using are just a prelude to even more ironclad security measures for those devices.

There is a lot more to it than I have touched on here but I have it on very good authority that this is how it's going to be for the foreseeable future.

We will have our hands full trying to keep up I am sure... ;)
[Droid 2 Android Development] event121:
Seems consistent from what I've read and heard as well.

Really, all you have to do is read the lawsuits over patents and positioning of IP BS - "we made this and you didn't" vs "well we made this and you can't use it" - to see that these companies have all mapped /flex to their spacebar.
[Droid 2 Android Development] cmanns:
So generally speaking it'd be good to start a mirror in this 3rd world country server location for SBF's and such?

Considering I can host windows iso's publicly... I don't know what I couldn't host there LOL :-)

I've not got a C&D from my mirror of 2.2.2? sbf but I havent pushed that file around much.

Are they getting a C&D for posting link or hosting? I dislike that sorta thing, I don't mind putting up a lil battle but I'm def going to host these files non-usa then.

I posted this thread so whoever has access that wants me to setup a safe repo I can do so and give them/group access :rolleyes:
