Thanx ...I missed that setting..

yes that E has gone and now i will see the battery longitivity as a test.

Thank You
[HD7 General] santoshrane:
Test result : )

The battery lie with out the E (i.e connected to the data service) was super.

I am in 24hrs and the battery shows a little more than half on the indicator.

Usage: couple of pictures, maybe 30 min talk time, exchange of emails on wifi, and some music maybe 20 min
[HD7 General] Jonno2343:
Wow, that's fantastic news. So you're just accessing the internet when in WiFi range?

I was a bit worried about the poor battery life but now it doesn't seem to be so bad.

I guess with WP7's cloud integration, it just taxes the battery too much.
[HD7 General] poopilot:
I had terrible battery life - an app to diagnose what might be the issue would be neat. Turned out I had push updates activated for my oultook account, which I only use for contacts.

Had visions of the phone yelling "HELLO - DOES ANYONE WANT TO BE MY FRIEND?" constantly.

Overnight, I lost about 5% of the battery. Actually, that's another thing I'd like - a % display on the battery meter!
[HD7 General] santoshrane:
What i am doing is using wifi when needed. and disable the E (data).

The battery life really stays for long...

but bottom line - its a small battery with a big screen, so cant expect much :)
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
It has to be something else, maybe network conditions, or a rogue application, or the brightness on your phone.

I have both my Hotmail and Gmail accounts set on "as items arrive" (push) and my phone lasts a very long time. Brightness is set to automatic. Lots of web browsing, lots of texting, limited phone calls. Really, my battery is awesome and it amazes me.
[HD7 General] santoshrane:
I have my HD7 and its been charged just 4 times. they say it takes a lil time for battery to catch up..

how many charges have u done?
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
I've had my phone since Saturday, so about 4 full charges as well. It does take time for the battery to catch up, and each battery is different. A good measure would be to give it about a whole week of use/charging. That should break the battery in.
[HD7 General] ran_k:
if the phone is connected via wifi this means that the data connection is off? or

that they both connected?
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
Indicators are at the top of the screen. If it says 3G, G or E, then you are connected to your mobile provider's network. If the Wi-Fi indicator is on, then you are connected to that. If they are both on, you are connected to both, but by default, Windows Phone 7 will attempt to use your Wi-Fi connection first, and then fall back to your mobile connection if Wi-Fi fails.

[Galaxy Tab General] italia0101:
Hay i have a galaxy tab on 2.2 was wondering if its noticibly faster using this fix. i saw the scores and it does perform well but is it faster for everyday use?
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
The lag fix makes no real-world difference in usability, as the Tab (through some miracle, I'm sure) runs very well on stock firmware.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
Pretty much the only noticeable lag on the Tab is when you're scrolling quickly down web pages that have active flash content (such as animated adds), and even then, it's not really bad enough to be an issue. If it really bugs you, just use a different browser.

my epic has all of a sudden started freezing on me. basically it goes to sleep and doesn't wake up. this happened right after i updated 3 programs in the market. Visual Desktop, EZTVdroid and handsent. i'm deleting them one at a time, but so far it keeps freezing on me. i also was playing with setcpu tonight... set it on "ondemand" but that was about 12 hours ago and this just started now. i need to do a battery pull to get the phone up and running again. i'm running Epic Experience that i installed friday... i haven't had one issue the whole weekend though.. help =(

Become a flashaholic like the rest of us. BTW once start you can't stop.

Best advice I can give is to read, read, read and then read some more. Trust me the answers to your questions are in the 1000000s of pages.

Myn's ROM is very good. But I like Caulkins ROM the best with netarchy's 4.2.1 kernel. You don't want to use setCPU with 4.2.1 its not needed.

Just my 2 cents.

And then for some real fun start playing with the CM 6.1 RC1. That's were the fun really begins.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
The first thing I did was to start flashing custom ROMS. In the early EVO days, there weren't many choices. Now, there are tons of good options out there, so get to flashin'! :) You'll also get lots of good ideas hanging out in the themes and mods forum. Stroll around in the "post your screens" thread and you'll be blown away by what some folks have accomplished.

Just my thoughts, of course, I suspect you'll get lots of other suggestions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1pTheJacka:
yea unfortunately lots of these terms are like a foreign langauge to me =\

after looking up the process of installing roms i see lots of people are saying do a nandroid back up and then copying the rom, radio/WIMAX/PRI/NV updates and kernel

the definitions/translations for that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6uPMAH:
Different parts of your phone have their own embedded software that can and doses get upgraded. For example, when you get a major update from Sprint, either OTA (over the air) or donwloaded to your PC and run from there, it not only updates your operating system (Android) and all the other little apps, but frequently your cell receiver/transmitter (radio or baseband), 4G receiver/transmitter (WiMAX) get their own software updates as well. Custom ROM creators frequently exclude these from their packages, so you have to update them separately.

Nandroid is a backup functionality you have once the phone is rooted. It is available through RECOVERY. So if you boot your phone into the BOOTLOADER by holding down the VOL DOWN and powering up, you should be able to choose RECOVERY by using VOL UP and VOL DOWN keyes as arrows, and POWER button as SELECT (or ENTER). Once in RECOVERY mode, there are several options, including backup/restore. The backup IS the nandroid backup everyone mentions. It creates an image of your phone's current setup. If you mess things up later on and the phone system is damages, you can recover by restoring this image to your phone.

Hope this helps.

This is my first time quoting and I am pretty noobish myself...I don't know these terms either even though I spent all that time trying to root...I still haven't found out how to use a custom rom or boot, I'm a little clueless even after reading for quite awhile. :/

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrel_b:
Using a custom ROM (or kernel) or boot animation is done through "flashing." Flashing is done via Recovery which can be accessed by the steps listed in a post above. I use the Amon Ra recovery and there are directions how to isntall this elsewhere on the site. I copy the ROM (or kernel or boot anim) to the root of my SD Card, boot into recovery, nandroid backup, wipe caches, wipe data, then I can specify an option to boot from zip on sdcard. (don't remember if it's high-level menu item or not) Anyway, find a Recovery you like (Clockwork or Amon Ra) and there will be specific directions on everything you can do on that Recovery's thread.

This is really a condensed version and there's way better and more thorough advice in Development and Q & A forums in stickies. I highly recommend reading those.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
If you're using rom manager, it will tell you at the top what recovery is currently installed.

Hopefully you didn't "just" wipe battery stats - there's a process;

It should be done as follows (copied/summarized from the cyanogen wiki found here);

Battery recalibration

1. Charge the phone to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not just wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Battery Level = Full.)

2. Wipe battery stats with Amon_Ra or ClockworkMod recoveries.

NOTE: To have the most accurate of battery stats, reboot the phone immediately after wiping the battery stats and wait for it to boot completely to the desktop. Once your entire boot is done and you have full access to the phone, go ahead and pull the charger and continue with this troubleshooter.

1. Do not charge the phone until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off.

2. Recharge the phone completely and then use as you normally would.

Is Nandroid back up the same that Titanium pro back up does?

How do you do this?

I have 2.5.0.1. Is this the recovery that you would have to reboot in if something goes wrong and what does the numbers mean?

TIA!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajas_evo:
i would recommend reading this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790427

i have only been in the android world for about 3 months now, and was able to root and flash custom roms with ease within a few weeks of getting my evo. its really not hard at all once you understand the process.

as far as what rom to flash, that depends on the user. different rom have different features. if i were you, i would recommend reading the specs on each rom before flashing. some may have features missing, such as 4G, full camera support and such. And usually all that info is provided in the thread along with the rom. so, pay attention to that.

as for me, the goal for rooting was to do certain things that was only possible with root. such as, Nandroid backup, ShootMe, Wifi Tether and to disable some of the Sprint apps. so, i am using a stocked rooted rom. it is what it says. the same stock rom as the factory but rooted.

a lot of ppl use various custom roms to get better battery life. battery life on stock roms have improved quiet a bit lately. at least in the past 3 months, i have noticed a big improvement. hope this helps answer some questions.

and remember to always do a nandroid backup. i also use My Backup Pro to backup my Call Logs, SMS & MMS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1pTheJacka:
few questions about flashing ROMs..

1. i still have to backup all my contacts,apps,etc, i have titanium backup pro and if i back them all up how do i get them back once the new ROM is flashed?

2. I know im supposed to do a nandroid backup but do i need those special recovery images first? (AmonRA/Clockwork)

3. What's the purpose of ROM M...anager in all of this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok, so titanium pro will backup everything, even how your homescreen is set up.

the nandroid is for if there is a problem, or if you want to go back. ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST ONE BACKUP MADE WITH AMON AT ALL TIMES OR YOU COULD PERMANENTLY LOSE 4G (FOREVER, NO FIX EVER)

rom manager can control clockwork recovery while booted up in a touch screen interface. it removes the need to use the annoying volume keys. doesnt work with amon.

i would highly reccomend amon to you. it is just that much better, but doesnt work with rom manager. volume keys arent that hard anyways. use amon.

ONCE AGAIN, ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST ONE AMON BAKCUP AT ALL TIMES, AND ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING EVEN SLIGHTLY CONSIDERED MODDING. SERIOUSLY, TAKE 4 MINUTES OUT OF YOUR DAY TO WATCH DOTS APPEAR, AND SAVE YOURSELF 200 DOLLARS OR HOURS OF SETTING STUFF BACK UP. SERIOUSLY. DO IT.

Thanks for the detailed and informative post! This should be in the question and answer thread. I'm finally able to change my font and onto ROMS. I'll reply back once I'm on a normal keyboard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajas_evo:
1. all your contacts are backup-ed on your google account. when you sign on to the google account after you flash a new rom, the contacts will be automatically downloaded to the phone. so, no further work needed to be done there. i use My Backup Pro to backup my SMS/MMS and Call logs. I think it is very similar to Titanium. Basically you use the program to backup the stuff you need onto your SD Card. Then, once you have flashed your new rom, you install Titanium or the My Backup Pro and use the Restore feature to restore what you need. As far as Apps go, I found that it was better to use App Brain, since that keeps a log of all the apps install on the phone, its usually a breeze to re-install all of them through that.

2. Amon RA & Clockwork perform the same function. you use either to flash custom roms, perform nandroid backups, etc. so, once you root your phone, you will need to install one of these.

3. ROM Manager.. does what the name says it does. you can change the rom on your phone using that utility app. But i think the Amon Ra/Clockwork Recovery method is the preferred way of changing out roms.

in case you missed it, I went back and edited my previous post last night, and I just fixed up some typos, so now instead of broken english, it actually makes sense, and walks you through your first backup and rom flashing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1pTheJacka:
1. My main concern is that Titanium is a paid app since its pro, and if all the apps are erased doesn't that mean I'll have to buy it again? (Actually I used applanet, but if that's the case how would I bring applanet back then?)

2. I just wanted to clarify that the order of operations goes: Root-->--Amon RA/Clockwork-->--nandroid backup-->--flash custom ROM..right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrel_b:
First time you go into market after flashing, go to Downloads and you will see all your apps you've paid for. You can then re-download them. I read somewhere this is only the case for the first time you use the market, but I'm not sure if that's the case.

You can flash alternative without uninstalling anything, in fact, you can go between amonra and clockwork mod 100 times if you want. That part doesn't erase anything. Wiping does though.Once you flash a new rom or theme, it will overwrite the fonts, and you'll need to reinstall any apps you had before.

You have been so helpful!

I'd hate to keep asking you more questions but I need to so I can get a better understanding.

I copied my Nandroid to my desktop for safe keeping.

So when you say "you can just use rom manager from now on if you want, but most people use amonra to backup nowadays anyway" are you talking about making a NANDROID or a back up of what?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
no worries!

Nandroid or nand backup is a common term that refers to the image backup of the phone, wheather it's done through amonra or clockworkmod/rom manager. The nand backup, as you may remember, creates a exact image of the state of your phone at that exact moment - so if anything goes wrong down the line, you can restore that backup. Remember it's not backing up specific files or apps - its taking a snapshot of everything currently on your phone.

The main reason you used amon ra and stored away that first backup is because only amonra nand backup backs up the wimax image, and there is a danger of breaking 4g and losing your RSA keys when flashing other things (mostly wimax radios, but no-one seems to know exactly what they flashed to lose those keys). Regardless, this is one of the few things that there is currently no fix for, other than restoring an old amon ra nand backup, which also backed up the wimax image. So now, whatever you do, you know you have an amonra nand backup stored safely on your computer, with rsa keys intact, just in case you need them later.

What I meant was now that you have that part done, if you want to just use rom manager to create nand backups and flash roms and whatever from now on you can (because the UI is better, and you don't need to put the zip file in the root of your sdcard), but most people are using amon ra instead.

Hope that helped clear it up :)
