So once you go in and purchase they are going to give you the 50.00 credit? Seems as though it may work for some who want the actual samsung stuff from sprint. Easier way to get an extra battery and charger and not have to wait like a month for shipping from hong kong.

I have read something similar to this and it seems like a lot to do. But do you haev to do this each time? It has something to do with cells getting moved around and not fully charged. Doing this makes the cells move around and all get fully charges or something of that nature.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I *highly* doubt that using a different charger, particularly one with the same charge current, will provide a better battery life. This is because it is merely a power supply; the charger itself is internal ONLY to the phone, and is a constant-current/constant-voltage charger so that your Lithium-ion/Lithium-ion-polymer battery doesn't explode.

That being said, there are advantages to charging your battery more SLOWLY, and it seems likely that the internal charger will decrease the constant-current portion of the charge cycle based on available input current so as not to destabilize power to the rest of the phone. So, it's likely that people are buying 500mA chargers (vs the 850mA included one), which charge the battery at a slower-than-specified rate. This is often better for the battery, though slower to charge, for obvious reasons.

If the chargers have the same input current, there will be NO benefit from switching chargers whatsoever.

the guy said you just have to do it on occasion, so not sure how often he recommends it but not every time. I'm on the third step right now so i'll let you know how much better the bat life is.
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
Lipo batteries can be fast charged at 1c conservatively. This means 1.5a for our battery. However you only can fast charge to maybe 90% capacity safely. A good charger will detect when you have reached this and switch to trickle mode. The real difference in chargers will be if they have this logic or not. Charger that plug into the phone will use it's logic. However stand alone chargers my be different. The issue I see with the phone is voltage sag. Under load a cell will produce less voltage. Charging the phone while it is drawing from the battery may make it difficult to do correct peak detection. It may be set to charge conservatively when on due to this.
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
I think the OP is talking about ordering a battery & external charger.

USB charging uses the charging circuitry in the phone. An external charger uses its own circuitry & plugs into the wall with the battery directly connected to it.

If the external charger works better, then there appears to be either a flaw or limit in the USB charging circuitry that is not fully charging the battery.

The maximum charging current capacity of the charger is not the only factor at work here.
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
All I can say is that it works.
[Epic 4G General] JeffATL:
So I got the Epic last week.

Does the stock battery meter tell you the exact percent? I could not find it so I installed a 3rd party app.

Anyway, when I charge my phone overnight - it also gets to 97% but it lasts me the day - with light usage. I have another micro-usb charger that seems to charge it extremely slow, if at all.

I ordered a single battery and charger off ebay for $7.90 shipped from ibestone but I have yet to receive it. I will report back.

[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Keep in mind though, that LiPo chargers and Li-Ion chargers do not use peak detection; they use CC/CV. Misread that this was an external charger though, oops.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
This is a 1-cell battery.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
On roll out day I got my Epic and the extra battery and charger. I also wanted some more batteries a few days later, but my local Sprint store couldn't order them (not even available) for me. So they gave me 3 more batteries for free from Epic's that were returned. Who cares about battery life! :D
[Epic 4G General] JeffATL:
By the way, a great battery saving tip posted all over the internet is to disable the DRM service. - Under settings - applications - running services.

I am still using the original battery and it seems to last way longer than my TP2 did.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
mynewepic10, she said she's rewarding you a $50 credit for being a long term customer. How long have you had your line open?
[Epic 4G General] osufishman:
Well congrats on scamming sprint customer service out of $50 bucks I guess.
[Epic 4G General] JeffATL:
Didnt know what to look for when purchasing battery off ebay so the one i got is only 1200 mAh. The stock one is 1500 mAh. For only a few bucks more I could have gotten an extended one 3000 mAh - only negative is that extended battery sticks out a bit. But then again the battery came with a charger too which the extended does not. 1200 mAH ebay battery seems good. Overnight -about 8/9 hours with battery fully charged, phone sitting idle but powered on, it only dropped to about 83%. I think that is good compared to my TP2.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gmfeld:
I haven't found any predictable way of getting my Samsung Focus into or out of landscape mode. I thought the simple act of rotating the device was supposed to do that, but it often gets stuck in landscape, and times when I want it to go into landscape I can't get it to change.

Is there some trick I'm not aware of?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I haven't had a problem with mine. Maybe try a quick shake? Sounds like your accelerometer may be bad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pgsxdjp:
No problems here as well. It doesn't happen instantly but it does consistently change.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ekw:
i have this issue, its extremely consistent in the pictures hub / camera
[Windows Phone 7 General] gmfeld:
Interesting to hear that it's working so well for others. Definitely not for me, going to have to take it back.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
the hubs, start screen, app list, and zune are portrait only, and the camera is landscape only.

try it on text message conversations or something and if it gets stuck there, then yes it would be a hardware issue. but to confirm, i would suggest a hard reset (settings > about > reset your phone), and if it still persists, then take it back and exchange it for another.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gmfeld:
Yes, I get stuck in landscape or portrait (can't switch in either direction when I want to) in both messaging and Outlook. Thanks for the tip about a hard rest. If I do that, will I lose everything I've put on it from the Marketplace?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
if you loaded it directly on your phone, yes. if you installed it via zune, zune will reinstall the apps for you.

any apps you paid for, they can just be downloaded again and won't cost you anything as they're tied to your account and not to the phone. so don't threat if you end up switching phones down the track, you can redownload them without any additional cost.

[EVO 4G General] suarezn:
Yeah I know there are a lot of other battery threads out there, but just wondering if I can get some help from all you gurus.

Currently running MYN Warm 2.2 RLS3 with HTC kernel 2.6.32.15.

Have read a lot about this and done a lot of the usual optimizations (calibrate battery, turn off auto sync, 4G, etc...last test I did I was able to get about 25 hours on a charge with very little usage, which is pretty decent. So the phone seems to be sleeping the way it's supposed to.

The issue I have is that when I actually start using the phone the battery drains like crazy (about 1% every two minutes). This is with regular usage (i.e. internet browsing). If I use certain battery hog features such as Navigation or Bluetooh then it drains everything in a matter of an hour or so. Have tried playing around with SetCPU and don't really see any improvements (BTW I only get three options on SetCPU).

So the question is whether the battery drainage is a function of the Kernel I'm using? Why would it be good when it's sleeping, but as soon as I use something consumption goes through the roof. Is there anything out there that would allow you to see actual battery usage by app or service? I know Spare Parts gives you SOME info, but it's not granular enough (i.e. It says Android System includes many different pieces).
[EVO 4G General] achllles:
I doubt there's any magical kernel that can do more than what you are getting now.

Best you can do is to make sure the phone sleeps when the screen is off, which seems like you have already.

Max display on usage I usually get out of a charge is between 2-3 hours at about 30% brightness settings, out of about 12-15 hour per charge.

I sync google, always data on.
[EVO 4G General] Skeptron:
yo i have myn's rom as well but different kernel.. try the ones that myn added in the myn update app that came with the rom
[EVO 4G General] suarezn:
Hmmm...so I guess 2-3 hours of actual usage is the best I can hope for then? I hear people saying how they get a lot of hours and that includes having Bluetooth on, browsing the web, Pandora, gaming, etc...If I did that with mine I don't think I would get more than 45 minutes.
[EVO 4G General] achllles:
You probably can extend it by using wifi but what's the fun in that?
[EVO 4G General] suarezn:
Hmmm...Where? Are you referring to the Warm Updater app? I don't see anything about other kernels there. I haven't flashed any kernels on my phone. This is the one it came with.

What battery life do you get when you're actually using the phone?

Achllles: I get quite a bit of degradation on WI-FI as well.

I'm just trying to understand if there's a way to see what exactly is eating my battery when I use the phone. I mean I could be just sitting on the screen not doing anything and if it's on it consumes quite a bit, but as soon as I turn off the screen everything goes to sleep and consumption drops to about 1% per hour. just trying to understand this huge disparity.
[EVO 4G General] achllles:
Not sure. Best you can do at this point is to install current widget and see how much is being consumed, and guess what's killing your battery.

One other thing I've noticed was even at same settings, my phone often consumed around 25-30mA while screen is off, but now it hovers around 50-100mA, and I haven't made any change to the phone.

Not sure if it's effect on real life usage, but it does seem like it does.
[EVO 4G General] SantinoInc:
Maybe its not software related...maybe your battery is just shot already.
[EVO 4G General] ateld:
I know exactly what your going through OP. This caused me to leave Myns and Cyanogen and go to Fresh ROM.

This seems to have mainly fixed the problem.
[EVO 4G General] thlinx:
Myn was using the stock kernal, but his new rsl4 is gonna be using ziggys elite kernal.. Now is this kernal gonna be faster than other ones? No but myn told me its not about speed. Its speed that makes your battery life go down. These flashy kernals that have high quadrant speeds, suffer battery draining issues. So wait till friday for the new rom, and see how that goes.
[EVO 4G General] Skeptron:
there are 2 kernels there.. just try to look harder, i get 12-15hrs heavy use which is more than enough for me
[EVO 4G General] suarezn:
Was never able to find these other Kernels, but I did install Netarchy Toast. Installed versions 4.19 to try Collin's Battery Tweak, but could never get that tweak to work properly (it always has a process that uses a lot of CPU). Uninstalled that and tried version 4.2 ant that seems to be working OK (without the battery tweak).

So after a lot of testing and re-testing I've come to the conclusion that my crazy battery drain only happens whenever there's a "radio" on. CPU usage is not the main culprit in my case as even overclocking it doesn't drain it much if the radios are turned off. It doesn't matter if it's WIFI, 3G or 4G, if the phone is using any of this it drains very quickly. Thus the reason it acts good whenever is sleeping.

A perfect example of this is that I used Power Amp to play music from my music library (from my SD Card). Used it for like 4 hours and it drained the battery at a very reasonable pace, then I stopped that and started playing music using Pandora. Immediately the battery started to drain at about 1% rate every two minutes or so. I've read somewhere that using WIFI instead of 3G would save battery. Didn't seem to make a difference in my case as it drained at about the same rapid pace. Now if I have both on, then it gets even crazier.

So having found the culprits the question is whether there's anything that can be done to improve this. BTW I think I have the latest PRI (1.77_003), PRL (60671) and baseband (2.15.00.09.01) versions
[Droid X General] bladebarrier:
Quick question for the gurus.

If you wipe everything, factory reset, SBF, and then immediately make a nandroid, what is left over when restoring to that point?

I've done SBF's before, without wiping everything manually, and there was still stuff saved. I've also done restores, where it would appear that some things remained.

Is it possible to have a perfectly (or extremely close) stock restore point? What exactly remains when doing a restore, and what should be done prior to the restore to ensure that it's complete?

Essentially, I would like to swap between Fission and Rubix blurry, as needed, without somehow contaminating the other ROM.

The last time I did a bit too much ROM testing, and was swapping between 5 or more builds, and in the end I found that I was starting to get a lot of force crashes, which of course led me to doing an SBF again.

Thank you,

--bb
[Droid X General] Steven58AF:
Good question. I've had different experiences with SBF, as have others. Sometimes, it does a clean wipe. Other times you need to factory reset to get to 2.3.15 OTA.

In order to do a backup, you MUST be rooted, so your backup is, by definition, not clean. In short, say you had to return your phone to stock so you could get it covered or exchanged, SBF + plus factory reset is your friend.

There is another way on the 928droid site. It's a link to the Stock OTA 2.3.15: http://928droid.com/DroidX.htm

Hey guys, is there a way to do color notifications for different things on the HD2. Like my old G1, or like my NexusOne.

Is there an app that will let me set certain colors on the HD2s notification LED. Blue for text, green for email. Something like missed call App. I'd love to have certain colors on this HD2. I did a search without any luck. I only searched HTC Leo area.

[General Questions and Answers] killerbie:
Hey everybody,

I'm a student and I'm using a HTC Touch Diamond since the pre-release event in Belgium, so quite a time.

Today I was shopping and looked a bit around for a new phone, the main problem was, I never seem to find any phone that is 'perfect' for my needs.

So my question, what do you people think is the best phone, the Samsung Galaxy Apollo (3), i5800 OR the Sony Ericsson X8.

I mainly use my phone to make phone calls (duh), and texting.

I also use it as an MP3-player for about 1-2 hours every day, and to browse the web (facebook etc...)

Also, it seems that there isn't alot of dev. going on for any of the phones? The only reason my diamond lasted until today is the development:s

So, what you people think?

I am trying to create a backup rom of my system. I was clicked on "Backup Current ROM" and it takes me to the boot screen and then it gives me the following errors:

E: Failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verfication failed

Installation aborted.

When I use the volume down/camera/ power button I only get these options:

Im getting blue text

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

I have seen screen shots of people with green text and a lot more options. When I go into rom manager it says I have clockworkmodrecovery 2.5.2.0 installed.

I know I am rooted cause titanium works like a charm in freezing programs I don't like.

Do I need to try re-installing everything? The superuser programs says that rom manager was allowed every time it tried accessing, so I dont think it is a permissions issue.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Since a couple days ago, I've started noticing that my battery would not charge above 51-53%.

Went to bed last night with 13% and I awoke to a 6%.

It was on the charger for the duration of the night, about 8 hours.

I took a little alcohol + cotton swab to the battery connectors. In case they were dirty. I removed my silicone case, to ensure a good contact.

It helped a little. As the battery went from 6% to 20 in about half hour time?!

Today, it won't go above 21-23% It's been charging for over 3 hours.

Could my battery be dying? Yes, I'm sure. I've read plenty of other pleas throughout the forum.

Are there any basic tests, or some app to check it out?

I searched the forums and found that 35H00132-01M is the part number for it.

I believe it's a 1400mAh, right?

I would rather NOT buy from ebay (one bad experience ruined everything).

I checked out Amazon, and found these two batteries. Both by HTC. I won't buy generic, even if it's cheaper.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Bought a battery for N1, but it's fake. Don't get screwed!

I failed to keep yall informed over the past few days.

Here's what happened:

Bought the battery ($29) from Amazon.

Sold by: CCMACCESSORIES

Paid for one day shipping ($28.94).

Package arrived, and I was thrilled!

Opened it up, and I think I have a

counterfeit battery

!!!

1.) I know HTC is based in Taiwan, so I would assume their OEM products are also from Taiwan, made in Taiwan. The Amazon battery was made in China.

2.) The thin black tight film that covers the battery is bubbled at the corners and edges. It does not appear to be tight against the battery when I compare it to my dead one from my Nexus. The bubbled film also made it a little more snug to insert.

3.) On the back of the packaging, this is printed, "WARNING: We recommend using only HTCOne Treo Original Accessories including batteries ... etc.". HTCOne?

----- ----- ----- ----- -----

So maybe I'm out my sixty-something dollars.

WHY $60? Battery was $29, and I paid nearly $30 more for one day shipping, as my original battery couldn't get it up past 10%.

If I get screwed, I got screwed.

I'd just hate for anyone else to go through this.

I emailed them Sat. Nov. 20, 2010 requesting a RMA number, as it says to do so under their return policy on Amazon.
