Here is my issue, I like my home screen to stay in portrait mode while I am using my EVO but I hate portrait mode when i am charging because I use my kickstand as a prop. Has anyone ever heard of an app or anything that would give the option to only enable home screen rotation when charging?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vro25:
Guys,

I've been jumping between ROMs since rooting my phone last week and one thing I've noticed is that my battery life takes a big hit when I'm using the G2 ROM.

You'd think that since it's a lot closer to stock Froyo than the Bell Desire Z ROM it would have better battery life, but that not what I'm seeing.

With both ROMs it seems that they will stay at 100% for a two or three hours and then start coming down - however it's much more dramatic with the G2 ROM and it seems as though it's battery drain gets accelerated.

Has anyone else noticed this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterDroid:
yep,

i have noticed this too,

try an interactive governor with your setcpu and bacon bits, it may help;)

Are you using the Modaco G2 or CM 6.1 RC1?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daft.71:
For my part, while using CM 6.1RC1 the battery drain was amazingly bad.

Under Modaco G2 ROM, it's more reasonable. For casual use for 7h since being unplugged, I'm at 76%.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vro25:
My phone's been unplugged for almost 7hrs and I'm at 85% battery on my original Bell ROM.

If you have Spare Parts installed, check Battery History. From there click on the "Running" bar. This will tell you how much time the phone has spent "awake" (this excludes the time the display has been on or while on a call).

I'm at 2hrs 18mins (+20mins with the display on).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastludeh22:
Give my stock g2 rom a chance and tell me how that compares. I get better bat life out of stock kernel myself. Bet we could use some uv.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vro25:
I've noticed something new.

I had my SIM card out of my phone today and it's been unplugged for 5hrs with not cellular network (but everything else going via WiFi) and it's still at 99% battery life.

Uptime is 5hrs 53mins with Awake Time at 1hr 36mins.

Is the cellular connection using more battery than it should be?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trincisor:
it looks like a combination of issues.

1. the android system uses a lot of battery

2.cell standby uses a lot of battery but less than android system

i have a unlocked bell desire z.

installed CyanogenMod RC2 but had to roll back to a sense based rom because the battery drain was just too much.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vro25:
I figured it out, Kik Messenger was the main culprit.

It's been great since I uninstalled that.

To figure it out o had to restore to a clean rom and install one app at a time. At that point id leave my phone alone for a couple hours and check "wake" time under battery history in Spare Parts. If it was more than 10% we had our app.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnormal:
seems to me the mocado in my g2 gets better life than the stock g2.

Try logging into Google Talk, then text your Google Voice number with your normal phone and see if it pushes.

If it doesn't push, it's probably not related to Google Voice.

What is T-Mobiles Fair Usage Policy for internet WRT WP7 phones?
[Omnia 7 General] dgpurvis:
Two different T-Mobile CS people have stated to me that it's the same as they offer for Android phones - 3GB. That's what http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news6340.html were told too.

Nothing in the website terms and conditions to confirm or deny that though.
[Omnia 7 General] sergioiacobucci:
i bought mine in the t-mobile store (UK). They guy said its definitely 3GB fair usage and if you go over it they normally do not care.....[said a guy came in with a letter from t-mobile saying not to do it again when he used 96GB!!]

The problem is if you have bought yours through a website tht is not t-mobile then you will get the crappy data speed and 1GB limit....so watch out
[Omnia 7 General] MichaelStolzen:
T-Mobile will send you a text when you use 80% of your 3 gig limit. After you go over the limit you'll be limited to web browsing only during peak hours (4pm - 12am) from memory.
[Omnia 7 General] sid8810:
I just called T-mobile, because i had a text message saying im on 80% fair usage policy im like WTF!!?!? ive got free internet booster (even though i know its just for browsing and stuff) .. ive hardly downloaded anything. Im pretty sure most of the time the apps ive downloaded were off marketplace on zune (PC) . I think maybe the odd few times ive downloaded few apps like Hydro thunder from my phone, which may have may have done the damage (i had to due to hard reset and some apps dont automatically load up) . Unfortunately i do not own a wireless router...yet, i have to buy one .

At first i thought t-mobile may have made a mistake, but saw somewhere an app like Hydro Thunder is like 230MB , thats a large file certainly on a phone's data usage. The lady at T-mobile said im on 430MB and 570MB left ...which makes you wonder why the hell do they say ive used 80% in the text message .

I should have not bought my omnia 7 from buymobilephones . I would have had 3GB allowance if went directly with t-mobile :(

btw how does one find out the size of these apps you download? im shocked Microsoft haven't given us a right click type feature for the windows phone 7 ..that would be such a vital feature. I like to check on the size of pics, apps, movie clips etc ... you want to know the dimensions too like so and so clip is 1280 x 720p etc .
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
I'm going to get an Omnia7 from T-Mobile directly on their £15/month tarrif with Internet bolt-on. If I am not mistaken that entitles me to 500 MB internet monthly allowance. Si if I exceed those 500 megs of data, I am not charged till the limit of fair usage policy??? Is that limit 3000 MB? I'm not talking for the £25+ tarrifs that were recently changed to include trully unlimited data...

As far as your comment about the right click / properties type of key I totally agree. Over-simplification is not good.
[Omnia 7 General] sid8810:
Yeah good idea get it directly from them, they told me if i exceed my fair use policy..they just charge £1 a day after that (when u use data) ..and you can use as much as you want ..until the new month comes and it all refreshes back to the start. Its every start of the month the free data allowance starts. You should get something with at least 1Gb Internet booster , 500mb will go easily. But ideally a router is best so you dont have use the free allowance ..only for situations when your not near your PC.

yeah i wish MS adds that, you need that right click feature ..so you can find out how big apps and other file are
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
New official T-Mobile UK Data policy

As far as T-Mobile Data allowance is concerned I found the following on their site...

''... If you join T-Mobile before 30 September 2011 and select a 24-month price plan of £25 a month or more, the good news is that there's no fair use policy. Remember that you can only use internet on your phone in the UK and you can't use your phone as a modem (tethering) or use internet on your phone for peer-to-peer file sharing or making internet phone calls...''

Comment: do they block voip packages????

''... If you're choosing any other pay monthly plan (<£25), please see the fair use policy below.

However much you use the internet, you'll never get charged extra

We're the only operator to offer you a fixed price for browsing and emailing on your phone with no limits and no extra charges. Use 3G for getting online on your phone when you're out and about. Never pay more than your monthly fixed price. You can always browse and email with no limits.

Is there an allowance?

You can browse and email as much as you want. There is a 500MB allowance for streaming videos and uploading and downloading files. If you hit this limit during the month, you won't be able to do this stuff again until the next month.

For the best internet on your phone, connect to your home WiFi, so you won't even touch your 500MB allowance.

What about using apps?

Some apps use a normal internet connection, so they will work just like your browsing and email allowance. But there are some apps that use streaming connections, so these will fall into the 500MB allowance...''

So their new fair usage policy discerns between ''normal'' data and ''streaming'' data''. (packet inspection??) Web browsing and email sync fall into normal data category that is unlimited and does not count towards your 500MB download data allowance

When downloading a file off the internet (let's say an app off the MarketPlace), or streaming a movie, you are consuming data from a 500 MB data ''pool''. If you exceed tgis limit, you cannot further download/stream, but you can still continue to have data access for http/browsing data. apps like netflix, vevo, youtube fall into that download data category,

I assume

.

One question arises, what happens with voip data packages (if there are any voip apps for wp7 for the time being, anyway there is a google voice client I recon)
