Battery does not last long at all.

Im a pretty heavy data user. Email, Attachments, Browsing, Wifi, Etc. Fully Charged this morning,its now 3:00PM and it needs a charge. barley see the white battery level on the display.

I have added a 16GB Class 2 Micro SD card. Everything is working fine. I hope this is not a related issue.

Anyone else experiencing this as a heavy user.

Overall im very happy with the phone. very fluid and easy to use. Great one handed operation.
[Focus General] rexian:
I think the battery needs a few charge cycles to attain its full capacity. Also I think it is suggested that you charge the Li-ion batteries very often first few days and don't let them deplete completely.
[Focus General] ace10134:
Well I ended up getting the HD7. Battery life isn't great over here either. I got through until like 6:00 tonight, from a morning's charge. As the other guy said, the batteries might need some time to train themselves.
[Focus General] Spybreak:
The problem with battery usage on the Focus and the Omnia 7 is the S-AMOLED display. AMOLED displays have different power usage depending on what is showing on screen while LCDs tend to have pretty much the same power usage no matter what is showing.

If you're seeing a white screen on your Focus, it's using about 3 times more power than the same screen on an HD7, for example. That means that if you spend most of the time looking at websites, the mail app or the facebook app, your battery will last less than on a phone with an LCD display.

However, if most of the time your phone is on standby or you're using apps with a black background your phone will last a lot longer than the HD7 also thanks to the bigger battery (1500mAh vs 1230mAh).
[Focus General] Thresher:
Last night my Focus received a full charge.

Took the phone off the charger at 7am and needed to put it back on at 7pm.

2 hours of phone calls.

Gmail (Push, 45 emails 1 attachment)

Texting (40 texts)

Light browsing of the web

I have had some accidental camera button smushes and that turns the phone on, and it doesn't go back to sleep, so that could be some drain.
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
I used it on Nov 8th from desk at work with it plugged in to wall charger. It took nearly the whole 9 hours I was there to charge the battery while I was using it. I was using it VERY heavily. Due to MicroSD issue (Lost everything on power cycle) I had to re add apps over the air. I streamed & downloaded from Zune, had all 'use location' features on, activated find phone fast feature, linked 4 email accounts, I pretty much got paid to play with my phone all day.

Nov 9th, I woke up with full charge around 7am. Didn't use phone much till got to work 9:45am. Today I left it unplugged from wall to test battery life. I streamed from Zune and Last.FM, and had 43 minutes of phone calls, 47 text messages, 11 of which had pics attached, and used map with location and traffic on when I went to lunch. Note the screen is off during music streaming. I also used a very simple $10 Logitech 2 speaker set that plugged into my phone, with phone volume on 20. When I got into my car at 8:15pm I still had life in the phone. I assume that using the external speakers greatly reduced power drain on phone. I have a spare battery and wall charger. The wall charger takes about 5-6 hours to charge a dead battery. I'm not sure yet how long it takes the phone to charge the battery, since I sleep while its doing it.
[Focus General] swake457:
Mine is almost dead by late afternoon.

I shouldn't have to shut all the extra like wifi, bluetooth, location and dim the screen just to scrape by for barely a day. It's either the OEM batteries, or inefficiencies in the WP7 code. Since no 3rd party apps can run the background, I can't blame them...yet!
[Captivate General] tyc0:
So I deleted the AT&T apps and thinking I need to try to get a replacement from AT&T for my captivate because my GPS rarely ever gets a lock and sometimes shuts off by itself. Do you think they will refuse to replace it w/o the AT&T apps? Can someone provide me with the .apk files?
[Captivate General] sblees:
I would flash the stock rom... Use the one click odin program that's available here on xda.
[Captivate General] veive:
Try loading a Stock Rom.
[Captivate General] tyc0:
Will re-loading a stock rom mean I can return without problems even though I've rooted before?
[Captivate General] insaneturbo13:
it will undo your previous root and all.
[Captivate General] tyc0:
My logic is since I already paid a full retail price for this, I might as well try and get another one to see...

Can someone help me with using Odin? I downloaded the program, hit start but it doesn't do anything on the phone while in download mode...sorry for bein a newbie. Haven't owned a droid phone since the good ol G1 days. Thx in advance!
[Captivate General] insaneturbo13:
it has to be done in a very specific order. turn your phone off. then open odin, while holding down the volume up and down keys at the same time plug your phone into the computer with the usb cable. the trick is to already have odin opened before you go into recovery.

also on a side note, i was one of the lucky few that got a working gps, mine worked stock, and i live in a small town, it has never failed me with any rom whatsoever, i would agree with most in that probably 75% or more have non-working gps's but if you can take yours back and trade for another then maybe you will be lucky too
[Captivate General] tyc0:
Thanks for the tip bro. I am stuck on File Analysis in Odin...you available on PM?
[Captivate General] insaneturbo13:
yes.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anniehero:
in july i flashed my phone over to energy's most current cookie rom and put the froyo build that danij3l had been working at on my hd2 and it worked beautifully aside from the battery life. i switched to hyperdroid in august or september and it was running even better than dan's build had; i was getting ~100 hours uptime out of each boot, SODs were rare, calls were fine, the phone barely froze. i was in love.

over the last 2? weeks however i've been having a huge amount of problems keeping my phone going. certain websites i access in android make my phone crash; it resets itself but will hardly ever get past the stick together splash screen without a hard reset. when i do get it to boot back into windows i immediately get the "device memory is critically low" message. i lost a TON of my shortcuts in my start menu completely randomly (can't access stuff like file explorer, i have to start a new task in task manager to get to anything) and when i go into settings ->system->memory it says the total amount of storage is 19.09mb and that i have NOTHING available.

keep in mind that's AFTER many a hard reset and device wipes; i can't get my phone to believe that it does in fact have more than that; in the "about" screen it says it has something like 451mb memory available it apparently can't access?

i've been trying to run a task29 to wipe it entirely before putting vbnrom reloaded 2 on it but everytime it gets to the part where it verifies my phone information it says it can't connect, while simultaneously my phone will pop up that stupid annoying low memory message D;<

if anyone has any light they can shed on this it would be really appreciated as i'm absolutely flabbergasted at this.

my radio is 2.12.50 btw

[Droid 2 General] bruce7890:
I think so... Expansys detail the Milestone 2 and Droid 2 as Quad Band and the exact specs...

Hope that helps!
[Droid 2 General] petard:
Probably not. Probably has the same bands as Droid Pro which according to leaked documentation has UMTS 850/1900/2100.

There is no reason for them to include AWS in the Droid 2 Global since the only companies that use AWS are in North America where there are CDMA networks.
[Droid 2 General] sinistersai4d4d:
But it's quad band.. you only listed three bands, no?
[Droid 2 General] petard:
Quad GSM Tri UMTS Dual CDMA

GSM only is run on four bands worldwide, so any quadband GSM phone will work on any GSM network. UMTS has a large mess of bands and you need a phone which supports your network.

I just got rid of my iphone for a vibrant...tmobiles 3g is not much better than edge. But I hear ya, it would be nice if the"3g" phones we take over worked on the network the way they were intended.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywoood:
I've tried a bunch of different roms and so far, for me at least it's always missing the mark. I don't change roms whenever a new one is available, sometimes I'll wait a bit and I like to try a sampling of as many as possible but it always ends up being either:

#1 the mms never working. either i get "service is not available at this time" (mms only) or after doing the fixes listed it'll stay "sending" then the next day a friend will tell me he's pissed cause the test pic i sent him at 8pm arrived at 4am

#2 flash never working ever

#3 if it's 2.1 then the apps2sd working, maybe,sometimes

tonight i'm trying my 3rd rom. the previous one i had before i figured I'd try some new ones had the mms issue, also when you shut it off it would reboot instead & you'd have to to it again, and maybe again

i'm thinking maybe we are asking too much from this phone ? i'm not looking for perfection but stuff like tethering i could care less about, being able to send my daughter a photo i do care about, and flash would be nice

is there anyone that can recommend a rom, can be 2.1 or 2.2 i don't care, but one that works on the eris that has no mms issue, has flash and is stable ?

thanks

tazz froyo and kaos froyo work awesome. have for a few months now. actually all the 2.2 non-sense ROMs work really good. The sense ones just got started so they will be good soon. The 2.2 sense ones actually have flash 10.1 not flash lite like stock Sense 2.1

if you want to try a froyo rom i suggest you try Floyo
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
I've tried both and it's a tossup. xtrSense is nice and stable though and I'd recommend that over xtrRCmix just for stability reasons. That said the RC isn't bad but it feels a tad slower.

Which roms and versions have you tried already? CELB and FroShedYo work great, minus flash. The other CM/ASOP 2.2'S get rave reviews too.

I haven't used a 2.1 in about 4 months so I can't say, but there's alot to choose from.

Honestly, my eris is my "main" computer other than my work machine. I have pretty much foresaken my home desktop, laptop and netbook.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justjayhere:
Like you I too have tried almost every ROM for the Eris.. and if I had to choose today the BEST ROM to date it would be the ROM I am currently using: "xtrSense"!

I am keeping an eye on xtrRCmix and TenzoSense and am looking forward to both becoming more stable in the weeks to come.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywoood:
thanks for all the info

I settled on xtrSENSE. I had actually had a previous version months ago. At that time (at least for me) any rom with 2.2 was problematic. After some time passed I tried a few 2.2's and they seemed better but then things would always go sideways.

One time i didn't notice for a week that no one was getting any pic messages I sent. Another time the apps on the sd was quirky as it seemed to be loading more on the phone storage then it should and then the performance would grind to a halt.

And like I mentioned I never had one where flash worked for me.

I appreciate all the work people do to make these but i just want a few basic things that are selling points to work.

So of the SENSE ones I tried this time around the first was xtrTenzoRCMix1.6 and that seemed pretty good till the next morning the screen still said "phone is shutting down" so i went to xtrSENSE4.6 which i'm happy with.

in the past I'd done vanilla tazz 15, froShedYo, kaosfroys,sense-able etc as well as a boatload of others that i didn't same the original .zips to

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
There is no limit on 3G or WiMax data usage.

The sole limitations are as follows:

1) Your roaming data usage cannot be larger than your on-Sprint data usage, or else you will incur fees.

2) We will all smack you if you get ridiculous data usage, and Sprint then turns around and increases prices for unlimited data plans and/or eliminates unlimited data plans because of bandwidth hogs like you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzfan:
+1 There is ABSOLUTELY NO cap on phone data, only the broadband cards. I went through this last week with customer support then decided to ask our Sprint rep at Best Buy to confirm. The phone plan has absolutely no cap and if you use wifi tether they cant tell anything besides your phone is using data.

For anyone else wanting to argue this, hop on Live Chat with Sprint and verify
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradleyw801:
There may be a cap if he has a family plan. The $10 that every Evo owner used to moan about entitles us to no cap. However, Sprint has confirmed that any phone that doesn't pay this charge, including data cards, will be capped.

If his family is all on one plan, and only he has the Evo, they may be capping him somewhere.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
The no cap comes from the plan, not the $10 fee. As long as the family plans are the everything data family plans, there are no caps. The only caps Sprint has are the 300mb for roaming and 5gb for data cards (and that's only while on 3g I believe).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You're right about there being no data cap but are wrong when you say Sprint can't find out if you are tethering. They can easily find out and some people have already reported sprint charging per kb for it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeefyDude:
OK, so I get there is no data cap. But what happens when I start downloading with my rooted wifi tether and hit 10G data or more in a month? Won't they make the connection that I can't be using that much with the phone only?
