[Galaxy 3 General] pravarthegreatest:
Well i also have exactly the same issue...

I have observed that when i make/recieve a call the battery voltage decreases greatly because of which the battery also decreases and after sometime the battery voltage comes back to normal but NOT the battery.

My battery also drops down from 50% to 15% or 5%.....It's really very annoying...

I think that this is a frimware issue but i am not sure..I am scared that it could be a hardware issue...

Well i have mailed Samsung also regarding this issue so that they fix this issue in the next frimware upgrade and hope others also do the same so that we have a better chance of this bug getting fixed.....!!!
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
And when I switch off / on the phone then it shows probably correct vallue. For an example. It shows me 15% and after restart it is 60 %. What a stupid bug - I've never have this problem with any device before. Even phones 10 years ago were able to show correct battery status. I think this problem was also with original 2.1 android firmware.
[Galaxy 3 General] TekkenLaw:
Can someone who has upgraded to froyo pl. confirm that this issue is resolved in the new firmware?
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
yes, in JP9 / froyo is still this battery problem. When I switch on / off the phone then it's ok. Does someone resolved this issue please ?
[Galaxy 3 General] vilnius:
My issue still exists. Froyo did not help. :( Also I can't understand why does one time on charging battery becomes hot, another time -cold.
[Galaxy 3 General] pokosik:
same for me, and today i charged my phone and after charging just put it on my table after 1h i saw that there are only 80%:confused:. Didn't see this on other firmwares
[Galaxy 3 General] mohankm:
Same here. I thought it is because of my battery manager widget which I had installed, but un-installing/master clear also did not help. Looks like it is major problem. Moreover, few of the battery widgets mention that in some devices they report 1% level battery change, but in Samsung I5801, it will be 10%.
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
what about this issue at JPA ?

when you was installing JPA did you hard reset your phone ? (factory settings)

If yes which application do you use for restore all of the datas and settigns ?
[Galaxy 3 General] vilnius:
Yes, it was done. Hard reset seems is not related, and did not help.
[Galaxy 3 General] igord2:
Same problem here...

Since built in battery meter is not accurate at all Im using custom one but problem remains.
[Galaxy 3 General] afalak:
might fix battery issue.

might work...saw it for Epic 4g and gave it a shot (as its Samsung too). Some sites say LiON do not have memory like NiCd did but somehow it worked for me. Now I stay on 100% for 5hrs or so. lasting 2 days with 45mins call time and some Wifi use. Like today charged full 100% at 9AM and now its 2230 and I have 80%.I have switched off a lot of things. See below.

http://androidforums.com/epic-4g-tips-tricks/171804-recalibrating-battery.html

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701567

Above needs to be done once only. If it doesn't work then go to service center. Remember battery has 6 months warranty only so be quick and try above on new battery.

I also run LauncherPro instead of stock. Disabled data and enable when out of AP range (only use Wifi when needed and have an AP). Background data/synch is always off unless I use market. All apps are set to never except Gmail. Use K9 Email too and ATK. Am on DDj6 FM. Have removed a lot of apps, foursquare included and run 2 screen with LauncherPro widgets only.

Settings to switch off are here.

[Galaxy 3 General] igord2:
As long as I know li ion batteries doesnt have the memory effect but they still have to be recalibrated from time to time, lets say once a month. That means dont charge the phone until it goes off and then charge to the top.

I wasnt willing to wait for 11 hours for phone to charge when I bought it and after few days I ve notice that battery last very short. After that I ve performed the full cycle (drain to the bottom - when phone turn itself off, then after few minutes turn it on, wait until it goes off - repeat few times until its completely off then charge it fully - I usually turn off the phone while charging ).

As long as I know all modern devices like phones, notebooks etc shut down before the battery is completely drained because they want to have safe margin of the battery power because of, as long as I know, when li ion batteries become completely drained then could be damaged completely so you cant recharge them again. Anyway with that "turn on then its drained" I believe that I use the battery more than normal and that phone will recalibrate to the new situation figuring that battery have more voltage than phone "expected".

Anyway with few recharging cycles like those I ve described above I can use the phone now for a 2 days with moderate usage...

That 50-15 problem still exist but 100% period last quite long and also phone can be used a long time from the moment battery reach 15% ...
[Galaxy 3 General] pa49:
Try doing it the other way round!

Keep your device on constant charge or at least as much as possible for 10 days from new and you should have now problem.

I have run tests on Lion powered devices for the past 5 years and I have never had to "calibrate" once.

My battery usage is always consistent and seemingly accurate.

And this method encourages max power from the battery.

[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
HI ALL,

I have a few questions to ask ..

Most of these might have been asked all ready ... but it's morning and

still need my morning java ..:D

When installing the clockworks mod, does the update.zip and recovery dir

get add to the /sdcard dir?

An if so, does that mean .. when I press the power button and volume +

key. That will load the clockworks mod zip file?

Basically I'm looking for instructions step by step ..

I got the clockworks mod file and the tnt lite file. I basically want to

install the clockworks mod and then add tnt lite ..
[G Tablet General] TeamSpeed:
That is how I take it from all the discussions, even though each time I get close to trying this out, another panic thread gets started from somebody that ran into issues.

Put the update.zip file under /sdcard, and the recovery dir/command file there as well, then pressing those buttons together seems to put the OS into a recovery mode where it is expecting to run the update.zip and recovery/command files, which then are able to modify the filesystem under root.

What complicates matters when doing roms, it appears, is the user data, and partitions that can get corrupted, and you have to free up cache/user data, and maybe even repartition sections of the filesystem to correct the issues. That is where I get a bit confused. :(

Somebody way more knowledgeable on this will step in shortly though and provide real help. :)
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
I fell stupid today ...:confused:

Most likely it's me ... :D I've tried to save files to the root of the directory

and it doesn't let me ... Am I missing something ? basically I'm trying to

copy clockwork mod to the " / " so I can install the clockwork mod ...

Any info would be helpful ....

Well,

1) Export .csv from Outlook.

2) Import it to Google Gmail Contacts. You will get "groups" from your Outlook categories.

3) Sync Google Gmail Contacts with Contacts on the device.

Long way but I don't think there are the simpler alternatives.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrozenflame:
Greetings,

I just got me Samsung Vibrant from States, I'm not in States btw, the phone's locked, we'll get to that in a while, I have questions more related to the modding scene etc.

1. How do I check if the phone's rooted or not?

2. How do I check if it there is any lagfix installed?

3. I went to file explorer, there was update.zip, is it supposed to be there?

4. How do I know this is the stock version? I've checked from settings: Eclair 2.1 update 1, T959UVJI6.

5. I basically want to know if it was flashed before etc.

6. What unlock options do I have? I wish to keep $30 unlock option as last priority.

7. My in-phone IMEI and behind battery covery IMEI are same, however the one on the box is not the same. I dont really care, its just a box, as far as internal stuff matches, is there any way I can check that my IMEI is fine and this isnt a stolen set or anything? I intend to call T-mobile and request unlock code first.

My Background: HUGE android fan, been following for a while, finally Vibrant was the phone that I felt right for me and I got it. But my Android experience is zero. This is my first phone, but I do consider myself to be above novice computer user (Web development, programming, etc).

Also, wonderful community here at XDA :)

Also, kindly recommend me what method to use for rooting and lag fix :)

Many thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Welcome to XDA.

1. How do I check if the phone's rooted or not?

Open the app drawer and look for the super user app. If it's there your're rooted.

2. How do I check if it there is any lagfix installed?

Look for an app called OCLF if it's there open it and check to see what it says inside. Also open your app file and look for a folder called Voodoo. If it's there then do some research on voodoo Before you flash anything!

3. I went to file explorer, there was update.zip, is it supposed to be there?

Yes, though it could be fore clockwork recovery. Read the bible posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=771111 and also this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849028 These guys spent a ton of time to ensure you have a great flashing experience.

4. How do I know this is the stock version? I've checked from settings: Eclair 2.1 update 1, T959UVJI6.

Sounds like the official build, if it make TMobile sounds and has lots of pink when it boots it probably is.

5. I basically want to know if it was flashed before etc.

Read the two link and look for the signs like I stated before.

6. What unlock options do I have? I wish to keep $30 unlock option as last priority.

I don't have any experience with this one. Maybe someone else here can help. Try searching the forums.

7. My in-phone IMEI and behind battery covery IMEI are same, however the one on the box is not the same. I dont really care, its just a box, as far as internal stuff matches, is there any way I can check that my IMEI is fine and this isnt a stolen set or anything? I intend to call T-mobile and request unlock code first.

TMobile will only provide you and unlock code if you have an account with them that has been in good standings for over 90 days. Even then it could take up to 2 weeks to get that code from them.

Hi all,

thanks to UK T-Mobile behaving like a bunch of barbarians I've lost my patience and would like to go down the route of using an unbranded Froyo update via the regedit / kies hack.

Before I step off though I'd like to know if I've got the basics right . This is what I'm hoping is the correct thing to do:

1. Use Titanium Backup pro and back up apps and system files (hopefully by dropbox)

2. Do a factory wipe/reset (is this necessary at this stage?). I feel like I should start on a nice clean page.

3. Connect my SGS to Kies and use regedit to modify the correct bit for a UK unbranded Froyo

4. Update

5. Do another factory wipe/reset

6. Put TitaniumPro's folder back on choose to resintall everything except system files (this is another bit I'm not 100% clear on)

6. Go for RyansZ's Z4 root followed by the OCLF (or Voodoo?)

7. Smile and have a taost to my new unbranded Froyo SGS?

I have gone through the posts and feel that this seems right but there's such a lot of disparate information it's not always clear to me.

Finally I'd also be very grateful if someone could point me to the best/correct UK Froyo keys.

Many thanks everyone.

Kies Registry Patcher 1.6.0.0, patch registry on latest Kies

I used that for flashing my O2 product code SGS to a generic Froyo ROM with the latest KIES. Managed to flash JPO (XEU), JPA (XEE) and JP5 (O2U).

As far as I know:

XEU = generic euro

XEE = generic Scandinavian (does have English Locale)

O2U = O2 products.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _dsk_:
I would also add a few things:

Im sure you know, but make sure when you flash youre at 100% battery.

Also, there have been a few issues with battery drain (thanks to email and gallery sensor bug). Now it doesnt seem to affect everyone, nor does it seem to affect a particular ROM, but i thought you should be aware of this.

Just make sure you have a 2.1 ROM to go back to in case you have any issues with Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgopunk:
Thanks again for the straight info. One more quick question; what's the best way of saving the old 2.1 rom to be used later if needs be?

Cheers again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _dsk_:
Im not too sure about how to make a backup on the SGS.

From what i understand you can use clockwork recovery to do this, but i havent looked into it much myself as i had already lot my original ROM by the time this came out: [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for Galaxy S i9000 (FINAL! SAFE!).

Alternatively find out what your PDA, Modem and CSC are (*#1234#) and with those values see if you can find someone who has already made a backup of the ROM.
