30-60 mA in stanby is a bit too much, average should be around 7-9 mA, but there are some that can get even less like 3-5 mA. 400 mA while playing games i think is alright.

Try to use different windows rom

As I know ozdroid, Chuckydroid. And vbnrom are the best.

Or try different radio 2.10.50, 2.12.50 or the latest 2.15.50

Or sometimes try to restart the device will work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehumble1:
Make sure your running apps aren't sucking power behind the scenes. I'd try by killing off suspect apps one or two at a time. Even if they pop back up (because of a widget or other background service) it can help because it kills a service that they are running. don't use Auto Kill though or it might increase your battery use.

Have you cleaned any widgets off your homescreen that might frequently use CPU?

Hello,

If you are having problems with your Swype where it shows a message every time you change language about database: "There was a problem opening the Swype database. It may be corrupt or in the wrong format".

Don't panic, don't go rushing and reinstaling/flashing firmwares, this has a very simple solution which by the way I couldn't find in the forums so I'm posting it here.

All you have to do is this:

MENU -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications

Here you open the context menu and make sure the Filter options is set to show ALL applications.

Search for Swype, select it, and click on the Clear Data button.

That's all, next time you open a input text screen, you might get an error and Swype will Force Close... just open again the input text screen and All languages will be working fine again.

Note: YOU WILL LOOSE ALL YOUR CUSTOM WORDS ADDED TO EVERY SWYPE DICTIONARY (be warned). But at least you'll be able to use Swype again :)

Trying to find gadgets of the type "external portable power".

That is power sources that is light enough to carry in a backpack or pocket, and have a battery (or in my dreams a fuel cell...) that can be plugged into SGS mini usb port for "emergency" power.

Also of interest is solar powered solutions, maybe to charge said portable power device while relaxing at the beach.

I believe this is what you are looking for:

Ive seen a solar + wind up one as well, but not sure how good that would work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhoenixFx:
There are few micro usb backup battery packs. Some are sealed rechargeable batteries (like the one in above post) while others allows you to use standard AA size ones (these are good in an emergency).

But IMO better to have a spare battery. That way you don’t have to wait for the phone to charge, you get instant power. Since SGS s batteries are very small you can even carry one in your pocket.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Halkus:
Personally I'd prefer something that used AA/AAA batteries. That way I can carry LSD batteries, and I can use a proper conditioner/analyser/charger on them to keep them in decent condition. It also means the phone doesn't need to get turned off at any point - I find mine isn't great after a restart for quite a while. Finally very high quality batteries are not that expensive for AA/AAA and you know what you're getting, aftermarket mobile batteries can be a little bit risky and performance can vary.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] s2k:
I use a solution from Philips, it is called Power2Go. I use the SCE4430. Works great, only thing is that it does not support micro usb out of the box. But a standard micro usb cable does the trick. Used this also on a Nintendo DS.

[Q] Solar Charger

Hey guys,

First post here and it may end up costing me a bit soo..

Would it be possible to harvest one of these solar phone chargers you see on ebay and build it into the backplate of the phone?

I know it may not be powerful enough to charge your phone, but maybe we can extend the life when we just need those few extra hours.

So, really, does anyone know what we would need? I have little to know electronics experience so not sure what i'm looking for but i'm more than willing to actually do it if someone is able to explain what/how its done.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] solarrecharger:
No, it's enough for you to charge a phone, even other more powerful device. But first of all you need a good solar cell.

i got one from DX it works fantastic!

4200mAh Portable Dual-Panel Solar Power Battery Pack for Cell Phones and USB Gadgets

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40210

just leave it by any window, or light source and it turns it back into energy, then just plug your phone into the pack for recharge

you can easily recharge twice with a full charge

red light = charging

no light = off

green light = in use

comes with all the plugs for our phones

and a build in LED flashlight

it can also be charged via USB if you are in a hurry, and can't take advantage of the free light source recharge

i use it mostly for long outdooring like camping / picnics, and you know that even 3x1500 mAh will not last you for a day/week

you can get a full charge in just 1 day (from sun rise to sun down) even on a cloudy rainy sky
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Applecrusher:
But what about physically attaching a panel to the back so I don't have to carry extra stuff? Is it possible? How would I wire it up?

I don't think a little solar panel on the back of the phone will be capable of putting out that much power

Solar charger for SGS and other mobiles.

Few days ago I was searching for the Solar charger for my SGS in India.In local stores I brought 2 solar chargers but these are the china made chargers with very low quality internal battery.

Then one of my friend suggest me the Amzer 3500 mAh Battery Backup Solar Charger and Solio Emergency Mono Solar Hybrid Charger.

I ordered the Amzer 3500 mAh Battery Backup Solar Charger and believe me, the charger is one of the essential accessory for every mobile phone.

Also this Charger is available in India, USA and UK regions.

In light of this recent want for better battery life I have noticed that everyone is using collin_ph battery tweak

(see below to download)

or calibratin their battery.

What you need to know:

-Battery tweaks control your CPU

- They can underclock on low battery causing lag

- They can turn off GPS in the middle of using it thinking it is draining

- Most use CFS Tweak (can act like BFS) and if turned on can make some apps run faulty. Thanks to

eklipze

- Post ( download and info) for Collin_ph Eris port. HUGE thanks to

Decad3nce

for his work and info on this. Decad3nce's Collin_ph Battery Tweak Port Thread

-Battery tweaks have alot of options

- It is best you read up on battery tweaks BEFORE you use them

- Different settings will have different effects on different ROMs

- Suggested readings : DS36's : Tweak Thread ||| DS36's : Battery Life Thread

- Thaks to

-Calibration

- IF NOT DONE RIGHT WILL RUIN BATTERY LIFE. SEE: Hungry Man's Battery Calibration Thread

- Does not show results right away (may take 3-4+ full drains)

[Droid Eris Android Development] eklipze:
good writeup for those that are confused about the pros/cons, thanks for contributing!!!

its worth noting that the usage of CFS alone isnt what causes the gps (or other app) troubles... specifically in the battery tweak, there is a 'CFS Tweak' that causes the CFS kernel to act like the bfs kernel (google: no_new_fair_sleepers for more info as thats what the batt-tweak cfs-tweak does)

this is what may cause the gps troubles :)

[Epic 4G General] violinbf:
The epic has a very good output stage utilizing Wolfson DAC/ADCs. one notable + of the output stage of the Galaxy S is that it doesn't have any bass roll off so it has full frequency bass extension. Many phones (including the iPhone 3gs and 4) roll off their bass significantly after 200hz in order to lower the noise floor. Cheaper output stages get very noisy under 200hz and above 10KHz so most phones just eliminate those frequencys to make their noise and THD figures look better. The Galaxy S has, perhaps, the best audio output of any phone and is ruler flat from 20hz to 20khz.

Although the sound is better with the ipod these epic isn't far behind it and to the un trained ear you wouldn't know the difference in my system. I choose my phone over the ipod cause of this and the ease of carrying one device and updating music on one device

[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Aye, but just like the Wolfson DACs in the iPod 5/5.5g... the cheap, cheap amp circuitry ruins it. ;)
[Epic 4G General] violinbf:
true that the integrated headphone amp is not going to drive 600ohm Sennheiser hd580 phones to earsplitting volume. The integrated amp provides 6mw, assuming they don't use a separate headphone amp circuit. At least samsung has not rolled off any frequencies like the apple did with the iPod and iPhone. An easy way around this low powered headphone amp is getting a small independent headphone amp like the FiiO.

This is a non issue when plugging in to any stereo system since the impedance is very high and power requirements are very low. The Galaxy will provide extremely accurate audio when plugged line in to any stereo system and with better fidelity than almost any other mobile device.

Here is the Integrated component data sheet for the chip used in the Galaxy S.

[Epic 4G General] kristv:
I also find the Epic's audio to be really good, and I'm somewhat picky about sound quality. I'm impressed with the headphones that came with the Epic as well. I've had them plugged into my PC monitor which is connected via HDMI to my Xbox 360, and the sound is pretty impressive for a "cheap" set of inner-ear headphones. They work well with 5.1 sound and I keep finding myself grinning at the sounds of battle around me while playing Medal of Honor. I think Samsung did a nice job with this aspect of the phone/earphones. Many manufacturers make audio quality an afterthought on their phones. It's good to see that Samsung put a little effort into the Galaxy line.

Decent audio quality can be a deal breaker when choosing a phone. I'm glad overall that Samsung did not skimp. I don't use the stock earbuds - I have my own set and the audio quality is pretty good.

I wonder though, does anyone find the sound in the earbuds loud, even at the quietest volume? I do.
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
It can be too loud even at the lowest level, but I think its because if the phone, not ear buds. But I have been extremely impressed by the Epic sound quality with and without the ear buds samsung provided. I've never had a decent set of ear buds before so it was quite a surprise for me when I first pooped them in and listened to my music and movies.

I was excited to try them out since I first saw them included in unboxing videos. Could not be happier with this Epic sound quality. I think even HD youtube videos utilize some sort of surround sound on certain videos (not sure but some videos sound much better than others)
[Epic 4G General] Tgrable:
I have also noticed that the sound processing on the epic is very good. I am using a set of Klipsh s4i's and I must say they are a perfect combination for each other.

I only have one little gripe about my epic.. and that would be the fact the music player lacks a EQ. I have heard rumors the music player in 2.2 gets the EQ. Any truth to this?

There's actually a lot of threads about this issue with the slide. The 'fix' is contained in a thread detailing, with pics, the disassembly of it. That's the only thing I can think of.

Now once you get it apart and wipe or use a can of duster to blow the dust off, put some sort of black sealant around the LCD/Digitizer area to keep anymore dust out. HTC went cheap on us with their sealant and that's what's causing the issue. The kind of sealant you should use is mentioned in the thread I think (it's been awhile).
