forgot I made this thread :)

I'm now running Cyanogen Mod 6.1.1 with the Savage Kernal 1.3.4 and my battery life is phenominal - running set CPU and juice defender. Under my version of normal use I can go about 2 full days (48 hours) before I need to recharge. This is with maybe a few phone calls, lots of texts, and maybe some light surfing.

I didn't really notice an improvement till I flashed Cyanogen and a custom kernel. It's nice being able to "forget" about your phones battery and juice for upwards of 2 days. Best of all the extended sprint battery was free! (credited cost back to my account)

The latest version of the Savage Kernal incorporates the "trickle charge" fix such that your battery doesnt drop down 10% if you happen to take it off the plug at just the wrong time.
[EVO 4G Accessories] FuMMoD:
How does one get the extended battery for free?
[EVO 4G Accessories] spitfire209:
How I did it was I got my first Evo and it had the dust problem took it to a Sprint store to return it but the manager said it was cosmetic and not hardware related called customer care the lady argued with the manager and still didn't want to exchange it the customer care lady sent me another phone and when I was adding stuff to the new phone I had bother phones side by side and noticed a pink hue to the new one went to a different Sprint store since I was near my 30 days got a new white evo called customer care and said that I want to be compensated for having problems I told the representative that while returning the first phone that they took off my screen protector and I had an expensive case on it which I didn't and that I left and went back to the store they didn't have my case so the rep told me go to a Sprint store and buy a case and protector and bill it to the account and shell reinverce it so I went to a Sprint store and bought the 3500 battery since it came with a backing it became my case ;P and got a screen doctor for freeeeee now for u just say the same thing they did to me and enjoy
[EVO 4G Accessories] sasscuba:
Free battery from Sprint? Just ask..that is all I did and got one free. Go on Sprint chat and just ask, the answer is always no if you never ask.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mikel719:
I just did it and they credited me for the 3500 seidio battery I just purchased and haven't even recieved yet.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Dissenter:
I called as said my battery was crap. They gave me a $55 credit to buy the 2600 mAh Sprint battery. So far it's great. Managed 2 days solid the other day. Stock was getting me 6 hours!
[EVO 4G Accessories] mikel719:
I ordered the seidio 3500mah battery and they credited me 54.99. Can't complain there. Just want to see how the battery performs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] accelerus:
So you lied your ass off about having something you never purchased? I can understand getting a new phone because of dust, or a pink screen. But scamming a store out of a free battery/case by lying about a store "stealing" your non existant case?

Bad form -- I mean, you do realize you could have bought the extended battery and chatted up the sprint rep and *not* made up some BS sob story and still gotten the battery for free?

I'm usually a good judge of character based on past expereinces - I can fully understand why the sprint rep originally never replaced your phone. With all the scamming/scheming you were goin to do, it's a reasonable assumption that you were probably a typical rude entitled customer with a "gimmie gimmie gimmie" attitude.

First lesson in life is that kind of attitude gets shut down and is a huge turn off for *anyone*. I got my battery for free because I asked, and was genuinely nice to the rep I spoke with. If I had gotten only 50% off or even just $5 back I would have been grateful . Customer service reps deal every day with dicks like you, and you would be very surprised what can be accomplished by just being nice to someone who's job it is to help you.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jormungand:
really? just talked to a sprint store repair tech, a 2nd tier csr, and a 'advanced level tech' from sprints customer service. all told me that the evo has bad battery life, and to buy a seidio extended. lol.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rakeesh_j:
What do you do? Just ask them straight up "hey I'd like a free battery"?
[EVO 4G Accessories] clamknuckle:
You're a douchebag. Also it's reimburse, not reinverce.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rakeesh_j:
Which department did you talk to? I tried calling tech support then they told me no and said I should try sales, tried them and still no.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aimbdd:
Sometimes it takes more then one call haha.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tb87:
+1

Hope sprint finds out you lied and basically stole from them. Some people are too damn picky about there phones.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Dissenter:
Just dialed *2 and got it from the first Rep I talked with. I'm not saying everyone will get the same results, but obviously customer service has some knowledge of the stock battery issues.
[EVO 4G Accessories] computerjunkie:
It's "their" not "there". :-P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gir489:
Why can't I boot into clockwork with the 2.2 beta?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
because you didnt read the threads regarding 2.2?

2.2 brings to us recovery 3e which does not allow unsigned zips so you cant run any update.zip files like you could with 2e. all you have to do is flash a new kernel that has 2e enabled in it or flash a rom that has it enabled. i think all the roms available have it enabled at this time
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
I want to try the Xtreme kernel, but I refuse to go back to non-Voodoo and the blue tint/fuzzy text of the Epic display. I realize there may be future kernels that I want to try that also do not have the Voodoo Color fix and I don't want to bother devs with my personal requests.

How hard is it to add the Voodoo Color patch to a kernel? I have basically no coding experience with Linux but I would be willing to learn a little if it is doable for a noob like me (I taught myself some PHP, MySQL and Apache so I'm not completely hopeless with computer languages).

If this is an unrealistic goal please let me know. Otherwise if anyone could help or point me in the right direct it is much appreciated! Thanks :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
hey i was just wondering what your voodoo settings are, cause when applied i thought that it only worked when you had brightness at 100%, so is yours at 100% all the time?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
I believe that was for an older version of Voodoo. The latest should work at any setting.

Sent by a little green robot
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
The patch is super simple to apply. However, Devin is a good friend of mine, and right now I think the only thing XTreme has on MixUp is 1.6Ghz OC and I already have that in my tree. I also have some VooDoo Sound goodies, and a few other tweaks/fixes. I should be releasing tomorrow, if you can hold out. If not, just use XTreme. It's a good kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
Thanks gd! I've always been a fan of your work. Good to know you are releasing an update soon.

That definitely solves my short-term problem. But as long as I have this thread, I would still like some help on how to apply Voodoo to a kernel. There may be some super-awesome kernel that comes out in a week that doesn't have Voodoo, and I'd really like to be ready :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
I have tried a few kernels and I have never seen any blue fuzzy text....what is that you guys talk about?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
This link should explain everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
They really need to take real screenshots, not simulations.

The only thing I've really seen is that text does seem a bit oversharpened, but I haven't seen any of the other problems (at least not to the extent they claim) :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Well, it won't show in screenshots, because then it'd take on the tint of whatever screen you view it on.

You don't notice the blue unless your used to a properly calibrated screen. If you have access to one, hold your phone up next to it with both on a totally white screen. It's VERY obvious. Also, youre really unlikely to see the text issues until you see how it should look, then its clear.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
The problem with screenshots is that they don't reproduce the same colors as your screen. A photo suffers the same problem, as the camera's CCD doesn't genuinely reproduce the colos you see either.

Until display technology improves a bit simulated screens are the best way to explain the effect - the intention was likely never meant to be "looks exactly like this".

My screen has a noticable blue tint (to me at least), but nowhere near the exaggerated screeshots on the voodoo page.

Voodoo should be easy to roll into a flashable patch.. when I have some free time I'll dig at it unless someone else has done so already.

[Edit] Also worth noting, if you're viewing those simulations on your epic, the blue you see might be oversaturated ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Looking again at the voodoo page, there is already an udpate.zip flashable, has anyone tried this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
That won't work.. The changes are in the display drivers in the kernel. Not even a module..

It takes a whole kernel build with the drivers integrated, and only Epic kernels work for the Epic of course. Not other SGS kernels even.
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
please don't taint your kernels with that voodoo garbage :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] imtjnotu:
What's wrong wth using voodoo
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Hmm.. guessing the video driver isn't buildable as a module?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Never tried it. It's probably a bad idea, because if something goes wrong with the module you have no video. And, it'd still take changes in all the kernels to make it usable with all of them. Still, I like the idea.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
I don't see it on my phone. It's not as white as my LCD screen, but my phone's screen isn't blue. So I agree..go without it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
If you set 7 smartphones next to each other, you'd probably have 7 different hues of white. Just a thought. I'll admit I got lucky with my Epic cause I don't have the blue tint. I compared mine with a Vibrant and its amazing how different of hue it is. I bet this post is super confusing, I'll stop now
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
hi

what the hell is voodoo lol im kind of new but i know how to flash roms keyboards an plenty more but what is voodoo im a fast learner
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeisRisen:
Pretty sure, geniusdog's kernels will keep having voodoo in them as long as Hero_Over's continues to have it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
whats that supposed to mean?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
None of our kernel gurus can help me out with this? I'd like to add Voodoo to the kernel in the Froyo leak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Not until the sources are released unfortunately. If the past is any indication that should be shortly after the official release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
Ah crap I didn't realize the source was not out. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Exactly! What the hell DO you mean?! My kernel was the first Epic kernel to have it. Just sayin.

If that was a shot at me because you're drinking Hero's Kool-Aid, get over it. Don't like my kernel? Don't use it. Like it? Use it if you want. Simple as that. It serves no point to bash other members on XDA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndrewZorn:
Maybe this is why the 2.2 leak looks dim/bad... because I used a Voodoo-modded Epic Experience ROM?

So I am now very interested in this as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
I suppose unless somebody can make a kernel from the I9000 Froyo source (even possible?) we have no way of getting Voodoo on 2.2 yet :(
[myTouch 4G General] kamasi36:
I'm not trying to brag...or maybe I am. LOL. It seems I have the scores cornered except for one. Anybody? Anyway, where is the competition? I'm feeling kinda lonely on top. You all post your scores.

[myTouch 4G General] Whorok305:
Woah.. im only getting 36-38 wtf
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
Chill guys, it always depends on how many/which apps and services are running in the background. If you have a couple widgets running along with some other apps you'll get lower results. If you're really worried uninstall everything you can, freeze all the unnecessary bloatware that came pre-installed, make sure your phone isn't syncing in the background, and run the test again. Make sure to run it a few times as you'll see a rather big discrepancy between results taken back to back.
[myTouch 4G General] macfan74318:
It will get much faster once the source code is released and we can over clock out phones. We need the source code to recompile the files.
[Windows Phone 7 General] desolateone1:
Hey there, I'm planning on picking up a WP7 phone to replace my old phone, most likely a hd7 or a trophy. After I unlock it, of course, would I be able to use it with Telus?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
Of course, after you unlock it, as long as it has the approperiate 3G bands, specifically the 850/1900 bands, then you are able to use it on Telus. The problem is that neither the HD7 nor Trophy come with the approperiate bands. Your choices (for now) are limited to the LG Optimus, Quantum, Samsung Focus, HTC Surround, and I think that is about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] desolateone1:
Alright. In that case I guess i'll be picking up the Focus instead.

Thanks again!

[Desire HD General] djellenar:
Go and buy an i-phone or buy a console like xbox360 or Ps3, gaming on fones are rediculous if your a real gamer, Tower defence games and lemmings type games is as far as it should go. The reason why i-phone may have better looking games is doen to the fact that i-phones are so expensive (for no reason) the i-phone user may only have enuff money for 1 console or none, not even got a Desktop Mac (but a crappy xpensive mac book, and not even the Air) so they go all out making games look great for it. If you had bought an iphone you most prob wouldn't even be able to keep up with ya mobile internet tarrif to send in this msg. haha! Besides, Microsoft = xbox live = win mo7. Apple iphone= iphone games = dead batt = iphone.. << no gaming console for it at all, games on a fone especially a touchscreen will definitely drop out ya hands and miss alot of calls, making AppleMac more richer. Get smart and be a leader and not a follower! Win Mo forever, even wince2003se!!!
[Desire HD General] djellenar:
People bost about games on their fone when the fone features it self are crap, my HTC hD2 is a class A mobile and mini tablet device (why it was made) before being a handheld games console which i have psp and a Ds-i already which is made for games and iphone cannot rival though at all out the box.. Win mo rules out of the box without jail break crap, i hate fones that are still in prison after we already free it buy buying it from da shop!!!

Buy a psp for 100 bucks and play great games and almost all ps1 games from emulator. Leave phones for what they are doing best - internet, calls and documents. Games on smart phones are the biggest battery drain. If you caro so much for games and hate to bear two devices (phone and psp) with you have to wait for this:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] KaliKot:
It does support some of the same games like Asphalt and Angry birds

but in general Android isnt ripe for gaming yet
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
It doesn't have too many games yet, but there are quite a few good ones. Android development does seem to be accelerating actually.

One engine which might be popular in the future (ID rage) has been ported to iPhone but carmack isn't committed to porting to Android yet, so it's hard to know what the future is like, but Android is getting pretty cool ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] the_ahmadzais:
You guys think 3.0 gingerbread could do it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
It has nothing to do with the OS ahmadzais and everything to do with the developer support.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Mostly.. If Carmack does finish rage for Android though, that will be cool.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emexrulsier:
There are plently of top games on android and many play better then an iphone (3gs 4g is fine).

These are the main games I have on my galaxy S at the moment, they all play perfect and some are very good graphics. And this is only a few of the 100s of games available for Android....

Krazy Kart - Galaxy Freebie, this is a mario kart style racer with powerups etc

Asphalt5 - Galaxy Freebie, a 3D racer with high frame rate and good graphics

Angry Birds - Free from Market, a good puzzle game, the object is to kill pigs with a variety of birds shot from a catapult :D

Tiki Tower - Free from Devs website, a puzzle games the object is to get all the Monkeys from A to B whilst collecting all the bananas

Real Football - £3 from Gameloft, A footbal sim what more can I say :D

Hexen II - Free supports full controls (must own full game for pak files), plays just like the original on the pc though controls can be tricky

Guitar Hero World Tour - Can't remember where I got this from, only supports 3 frets and seems to want to download each song as and when you play it but does play ok.

Heroes of Sparta - £3 from Gameloft, very good 3D adventure game big swords and lots of blood :D

PapaStacker - Free from Market, the object of the game is to stack blocks of various shapes, and sizes and the stack must balance before the time runs out to progress

Zenonia - Fairly cheap from Market, an RPG game but I haven't given it a proper whirl yet

Avatar - £3 from Gameloft, 3D game with little simularity to the movie :D

Snesoid - Get your roms out plays all, use the lite version save your money

Gameboid - Again use lite version

Dungeon Hunter - £3 from Gameloft, and RPG based on lvling a character of your choice with XP, weapons, items etc one of my fav games atm

Kwaak3 - Quake3 Arena, still working on getting BT keyboard working with this, but the game itself plays very well

PSX Emu - Playing Final Fantasy VIII on this atm works perfect.

Sandstorm - £3 from Gameloft, this is a "COD" fps style game.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
I agree, Its not up to our system as if you look very closely iphone 4 and sgs almost share the exact hardware. Their A8 cortex cpu is actualy a hummingbird cpu with minor changes being ours is just a little more powerful (just a little) and Samsung actualy builds the cpu for appl
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
OP: Emexrulsier has covered most of the good stuff, but there are some more like Fruit Ninja, Abduction 1 & 2 and a few more games from Gameloft.

The games run just as well or in some cases better than on the iPhone (e.g. Fruit Ninja works a lot better on my Galaxy S compared to my iPhone 3G).

Its a the Rii mini, a chinese manufactured keyboard. Great little gadget and It works great with my Streak. No problems with connection and all keys are working properly. A lot of functions, great battery live ( up to 700 hours). Dongle is a bluetooth device for pc without such a feature. But be careful to order the bluetooth version, because an alternate keyboard with exactly same looks and name is sold as wireless 2.4 Gh version. In my happiness I almost ordered the wrong one.
