I saw this note in another forum:

I'm user of a DEFY ... but other MOTO-Phones also only shows battery in 10% steps.

There IS indeed a VAR where the values is in 1% steps!

10%-Steps:

/sys/class/power-supply/battery/capacity

1%-Steps:

/sys/class/power-supply/battery/charge_counter
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Interesting, but I don't think it'll actually be that helpful:

1) I don't have charge_counter on my phone (just checked), so I can't rely on it

2) It's a virtual file, so would have to either be polled, which would waste battery and I refuse to do, or,

3) I'd wait until the intent is sent and respond to it as normal, then read the file - but I don't have any way to tell if it's actually sent that often, since I don't have the phone(s) myself.

The good thing is, charging time tends to be accurate to a minute or two for me, so the interpolation version shouldn't suffer very much, if it's even a noticeable difference. And it won't affect the rest of us at all.
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Hi :) Since the last update it is hard to scroll in the graph view. Actually it jumps in litle steps and it isnt a smooth scrolling anymore. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Hmm... According to my notes, the only change to the graphs recently has been to the Usage graph, a bug fix to prevent an OutOfMemory error (and force-close).

Otherwise, one thing that comes to mind is, if you changed the settings to store a really large history, that would slow it down. I still have my phone set to 7 days, and it's still scrolling smoothly.
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
That would make sense if I would have changed anything at the settings :(
[Android Apps and Games] nofes:
Thanks for sharing.....

:):D:):D:):D:D:)
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Well, I don't know then. But a rewrite for both graphs has been planned for a while. I'll be sure to keep efficiency in mind whenever I start to work on them.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
New release, V1.05.2 - No new features, one big bugfix/workaround:

For phones that only report battery in 10% increments, the charge time predictions weren't working at all. Now it does.

One small note, the percentage showing when it's plugged in is ignored, so that rounding doesn't come into effect. Time starts being counted the first time percent changes. So (10%-jump example) if you start charging at 20%, and go at least to 40%, predictions will only be available for 30% and up. If it was actually closer to, say, 24% and just couldn't report it, you'd end up with an arbitrarily small time prediction. 1%-jumps have always done the same thing, but it's generally not noticeable. (Plug in at 22%, starts counting at 23%)

Also, for full-version users, the Settings colors no longer works on the widgets. They'll just be using the default colors. In 1.06, widget colors will be available again on the widget configuration screen (currently nonexistent), on a per-widget basis.

Negative usage

First of all I like your program its a nice idea.

Maybe if you have time make an per APP bettery usage or something like that. I have no clue to if this can be done, im just thinking that you can detect when a program starts and ends and the look at how much battery have been used. (but ofc ther can be multiple program start at the same time ect ect. but just an idea.

I also have a bug to report not knowing if this is the right place to do it.

since your program is dynamic and does not require profile or any phone specific settings I like using it for my phone because Im using a none standard battery. But under Graph:Usage I get graphical glitches because the Usage it measures is actually negative and as such I get very high columns at thoes points.

Regards

Ephreal
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
I'd addressed this earlier in the thread when someone else asked - my reply was something like:

This already exists under Settings -> About Phone -> Battery Use, and it includes things like Display, Wi-Fi. Voice calls, and so on. Most of the time, those things will so overshadow individual apps that any given app will use less than 2% of the used battery, and not even make it on the list. (And yes, apps do make it onto that list - I've managed to get Robo Tower Defence at 5% at one point)

The other problem is, I don't think there's a generic way to detect any app launch/close (Android doesn't even "close" apps like a computer program closes), so I'd be stuck with regular scans, causing excess battery drain.

I could add a link to that list in Settings, and I know it's possible since Quick Settings does it, I'd just have to figure out how.

Yeah, right now this is the only place besides directly emailing me.

I haven't heard anything about this before, so how long has it been happening? (I just released that update a few days ago, was it happening before that?) Does it happen consistently, such as when the phone is charging? Does it affect the predictions in Graph: History - that is, does the prediction area ever go up? (It should be discharge only, and never increase)

Also, I PM'ed you
[Android Apps and Games] Ephreal:
The negative parts goes outside the view screen at the top, I have no reference what effects this have on the over all prediction since it have been doing this from day 1.

I a side note I've noticed that I can get 101% battery charge. don't know if that have anything to do with this.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Out the top is strange, as it should just display the next percent up and scale the bars down...

And that 101% may be related - it shouldn't actually happen, as whatever it receives should be scaled up/down to a 0-100 scale... Is it just my app reporting that, or does the system do it, too? (Settings -> About phone -> Status -> Battery level)
[Android Apps and Games] Ephreal:
Well sounds to me like its a Signed/Unsigned problem, The graph itself is scaled after the signed value, but only supports unsigned values so when its fed with a negative value it will wrap around IE make a really large column but it wont scale to it.

a quick fix could be to truncate negative values to zero, however I don't know what effect this will have on your prediction algorithm.

I didn't check but ill keep it in mind next time I see it, my phone have only been at 100% one time since i started using the program.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
New update for May 1, 2011 - Version 1.06

First:

This update has been long in coming because I've been settling into a new job, and working on a few other things. One of which is my new website, and more specifically, getting this page to a point where it's at least a little useable: Plans of a Programmatic Nature

Update information:

One bugfix: On one user's configuration, Android somehow was reporting 101% battery (And yes, Android was saying the equivalent of "On a 0-100% scale, you're at 101%", so it's not that it uses a 150-scale or something). I don't know what the cause is, but if this ever happens, the Battery Diviner will now treat that new highest value as the scale. It resets any time the app closes.

New feature: Widget Configuration Screen, plus one new 1x1 widget!

The new Configuration screen allows you to change when the bar colors change, what colors, and even how many to use (minimum 2, but they can be set to the same color). There's also a whole bunch of options for the text that gets displayed on the widget. Text options are:

*Static text (once selected, it asks what you want to display)

*Current Percent (The default line 1)

*Time Remaining (Cur) (The default line 2)

*End Time (Cur) (The default line 3)

For Time Remaining and End Time, in addition to "Cur" for "Current", there's also "Discharge", "USB", and "AC", if you want to force it to always display those times instead of whatever the phone is currently doing.

EDIT: New screenshots also below, see original thread post for explanations:
[Android Apps and Games] pradeepadiga:
Thanks for the great app.

I have been using the free version for some time and he prediction is very accurate. In order to support the development I bought this app yesterday.

I have a suggestion to make. Since the widget does not have text only option, I feel it would be a good idea to assign the "Time Left", "End Time" values to a local variable. I can then configure Minimalistic Text to pick up this value and display it according to my taste. Hope you will consider this.

Once again thanks for the great app, look forward to more enhancements.

Edit: Also it is good enough if the app is able to dump the values of Time left and End time to a text file on SD card. I can have tasker pick those values and assign it to Minimalistic Text

I think so too.

Request for an update, just increment the version number and rerelease

I'm a paid user and I love your app and don't want it to die like easy reminder did. Can you post an update, just increment the version number or somthing. I'm sorry the uptake on the paid version is only in the hundreds as its a really good app. Say its optimized for low dpi devices or sumfin to get away from the graphics complaints also mention how light it is on memory usage, light on cpu usage and has very good overall prediction functionality.

It seems to understand the difference between an idleing phone and one that is busy doing crap on behalf of its user and makes its predictions based on daily usage and daily idle times? Do i have this correct?
[Galaxy Tab General] jtorral:
I have been reading the thread on flashing the AT&T galaxy tab and am getting ready to do it on my device. However, I see no clear explanation on how to revert back to the original build on my device should something go wrong.

Is there a way of backing up my tab prior to the flash so I can restore to it's full glory should something go wrong?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] murderinc:
I have been wondering the same thing. I haven't been to find anyway to back it up either.

Is there any 3rd party software we can use to make a copy of the device on the PC? I cant get Kies to work, and I heard it adds all kinds of bloat to your device anyway.
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
Go to the android development forum and look for clockwork recovery. You should be able to back up your tab before you flash.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Clubtech also posted AT&T stock firmware so you could flash back to stock I assume.
[Epic 4G Accessories] loser504:
what is the best epic 4g case? post yours...
[Epic 4G Accessories] TheCraigJ:
I bought the Black Samsung one from the Sprint store for $19.99. It works great and does what I want.

Yeah, I know. I'm boring :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] loser504:
haha the sprint cases are fin & your not boring..:cool:
[Epic 4G Accessories] Bigirish:
I'm using the Seidio Innocase Surface case/holster combo. Nice tactile feel on the case, and the secure spring-clip holster does really well, especially with my clumsy arse...
[Epic 4G Accessories] Geekybiker:
My sprint case has all the tab breaking off after about a month and a half of use. YMMV.
[Epic 4G Accessories] gorby911:
I wonder if this has to do with how different people remove/put it on. I usualy pick the two corner clips on the charger side with my nail and it removes pretty easily after that (just slide it off). When I put it back I do it in reverse order - I slide the bottom two clips on first and then snap the top ones on. So far it's been working well for me.
[Epic 4G Accessories] themirthfulswami:
I'm using a black Seidio Innocase (regular not active) with the spring clip holster and I love it. I originally had the body glove case and it was just too big.. felt like I was carrying a brick in my pocket. The Innocase doesn't add much bulk and gives a bit of protection from random bumps and scratches. Has a pleasant lip around the screen too so laying the epic flat on its face keeps the screen from contacting a surface.
[Epic 4G Accessories] issai:
My experience with case durability is completely different from gorby911's, so it's all YMMV. My Sprint case completely fell apart in 1.5 months of use, what with the clips breaking off, and 2 corners of the rubber backing peeling away. Even after Gorilla-gluing one of the corners, it peeled off again within a week! Just got a Seidio Surface and it fits very snugly and no play.

The downside of the Surface is that its rubberized texture is actually quite slippery, vs. the grippy texture on the Sprint case (especially with its rubber backing). It slightly twists and slips around in my hand that supports it while I'm swiping around with my other hand. But it's got a much thinner profile with what I feel appears to be the same amount of protection.

I hope it lasts more than 1.5 months long. :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
So the sedio active is the slimmest case? May have to check that out, thanks for the info.
[Epic 4G Accessories] 1999TL:
Seidio innocase should be the thinnest.
[Epic 4G Accessories] flawlessbmxr:
I've been using the BodyGlove that has a the smoked chrome. Stylish and strong. Dropped it a few times and everything's still fine. Sprint Direct/Indirect stores have them available.
[Epic 4G Accessories] TWO515TY:
I have both the Innocase Surface and the black Sprint case and I too have had no problems with my Sprint case - I take off the back of the case exactly as you have described. Not a single scratch on my phone yet (knock on wood). I prefer the Sprint case over the Innocase as it seems to offer better protection.

For those who are curious, the black Sprint case fits in the Seidio Innocase Holster (the one designed for the Innocase Surface at least). I bought the $40 Innocase/holster combo at Best Buy, but am using the holster with my Sprint case.
[Epic 4G Accessories] sleebus.jones:
I'm using this one. Got it off fleabay for $8.99. Really nice OEM leather case that fits great. I can't stand a phone in my pocket so I have mine on my belt.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TomasNM:
Hi all.

I am looking for a solution with Exchange.

What do I need: to have XPOutlook emails synchronized in WMInbox(offline messages via ActiveSync) AND access to Exchange server simultaneously(new/online/not synchronized yet with XPOutlook messages). There is a problem,when I synchronize Exchange and XPOutlook,all messaes are moved from Exchange to XPOutlook,so when I setup Exchange access in PDA,I see just new unread emails,if I synchronize XPOutlook via ActiveSync with PDA,I see each other messages. I do need both of them in my PDA.

As I found,I could have either Outlook or Exchange folder in WMInbox,but not these both together. So I got an idea,to synchronize WMInbox with XPOutlook and for Exchange access to use an external app.for WM. So the question is,if there exist something like this,or how to have both accounts in WMInbox?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alex fung:
How is your Outlook connected to Exchange? Messages should be present on both locations, not either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TomasNM:
Outlook downloads all new emails from exchange,emails are collected in PC side pst and afterwards they are deleted from exchange.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alex fung:
Is that what you want (or what the admin forced on you)? Are you using a POP3 connection? If you are using an Exchange connection (MAPI), then your local mail store is in sync with the Exchange online store.

What's the Exchange version and what's your Outlook version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TomasNM:
Outlook is v2007,others I don't know,but I think,the company is mostly up to date. Problem is,that I cannot do anything with Exchange. Well,no POP3 nor IMAP protocol is used.
[Fascinate General] piperat:
Is there a rom or app so I can get my phone to read and external hard drive
[Fascinate General] soba49:
Well you would have to get your hands on a cable first. I have lapsed on terminology for usb(or even if the connector allows it...read up on micro usb on wikipedia), but what comes with your phone is micro usb type B to "standard USB male", which will not plug into a USB hard drive. (some ext. hard drives do have "USB male" inputs, but those are for adding extended storage)

However, some of the file explorers do have options for browsing files on your wireless network, so you could plug your hard drive into an NAS or other file server. Then you could access your drive from your phone over the WI-FI.

Also, you can copy files directly to and from your phone if you set mass storage under USB settings and allow it in the pulldown when you plug your phone into a computer.
[Fascinate General] piperat:
Thats not what I was hoping to hear. Besides the wire what else stops the phone from reading it directly? Im hoping to figure this out so I can organize everything on one hard and use it thru all my computers, ps3, and phone.
[Fascinate General] AlgorithmX:
Why not just use an NAS?

Sent from my SuperDark DJ05 Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] mailaliasgar:
The USB port on the phone would have to work as a host in order to connect an external hdd (client) to it. There was some talk of Galaxy S devices having that feature and in that case we would still require drivers for it.

There is some discussion here:

[EVO 4G Accessories] b0r0b:
Just fired off a rather douche-y email to customerservice@goballisticcase.com

I feel that the release of the case was intentionally delayed until this day passed. Basically, if I don't get the EVO case for 40% off because I'm certain this is intentional, I'll be sticking with my Seidio Rugged.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I think I may stick with my Trident Cyclops until I can get a decent discount.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
I have been waiting for this case for a while now!! I have been in constant contact with Ballistic about the release date and so forth through phone and email. After they posted the new pics of the redesigned back, and delayed the release even further...I went out and bought the Seidio Innocase Rugged with Holster and LOVE it!! Was considering the Otterbox Defender as I love the Impact and Commuter but the Defender got horrible reviews....

SO, with 40%, I will probably jump back on board. At $50....I'll stick with my RUGGED and like it!! :D The Seidio Rugged seriously is an AWESOME case, and having the Innocase too is nice. I bought it just for work, the evenings and weekends I let the Evo run around naked. Though I have found myself taking off the exoskeleton and silicone case and leaving on the Innocase in the evenings...its pretty nice!
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
I have to disagree on the Seidio case. I thought it was great when I first got it, but after just a couple weeks the port covers were tearing back into the case and I had to cut them off to stop the tearing. Then one day when I went to take the skeleton off, a piece of it just snapped off in my hand. The camera cover wouldn't stay pinned back anymore, so I had to cut that off too. Finally, the holster is a really poor design. The lock gets unlocked too easily and then the phone can just fall out. It should be made so you push down to lock it and pull up to unlock.

[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Hey grandpa, ever hear about a new fangled thing called pre-orders? DUH!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
That sucks!! Hope that doesnt happen to mine. Mine is actually the Best Buy Platinum brand version. Which appears to be slightly different than the ones branded Seidio. I think they took the flaws from the Seidio branded cases and fixed it on the Platinum branded cases, or so I heard (really looks that way too). For those who dont know, the Platinum brand that Best Buys sells is just Seidio product with a different brand name stamped on it (it even says Seidio on the bottom of all of the packages :-D )
[EVO 4G Accessories] b0r0b:
I bought my Seidio Rugged from Amazon..not a port cover has torn or a piece of the skeleton broke off in my hand.

I read this in all the reviews..and all I could do was facepalm and make the purchase KNOWING that these behemoths' were just trying to rip the case off rather than "REMOVE" it. A little finesse goes a long way.

I won't replace my Rugged, just like I never replaced my Seidio case for my G1 way back. I will cheat on my rugged for 40% off that sexy looking ballistic though..even though at full price it's ugly.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Norwester:
Mine lasted since the release date until I broke the skeleton a couple weeks ago. No problems with anything else. The rubber on the replacement they sent is quite a bit heavier and the exoskeleton a slightly different design. I told them it would be nice if just the skeletons were available to buy separately in the Seido store and they said they'd pass that on to sales. If you guys have any problems tell them the same. Oh yeah and colors would be nice too. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
^^I agree!! I think they have updated their design and product.

Colors would be nice too!! I like the Pearl White ActiveCase Limited Edition that they have on Amazon. White and black is just a sexy combo on the Evo...
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
Actually, I wasnt "ripping" it off. I just used my fingernail to pull back the corner and release it and it just fell off in my hand. However, I still use it every day and it still does a good job of protecting my EVO. I would just expect more from a case that costs $50 and claims to be "rugged". I preordered mine, so it was one of the first batch. Maybe the newer ones really are better.

Discount or not, I do plan on getting the red Ballistic case when they are available.
