I have cm7 with the dumfuq's smartass kernel. Set cpu set at smartass 786-1400 with screen off 2xx-3xx and low battery 2xx-1xxx. I basically use my phone heavily at school from 7-3 (2-5 hours of usage total) straight gaming and xda surfing at and end up with 20-45% by three from then on i use mostly for light gaming, texts, and calls. That can usually get me home if I get back around 7-8 but sometimes

I wish I could get a replacement battery with more mhampage.
[myTouch 4G General] brianphanz0r:
I agree. this does not look legit. How can display only be 4% when its been on for ~2.5 hours

you can. at one point I saw a thread on the accesories part of mt4g forum where it said u can get a 1600 one online. check for yourself.
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
you mean to say your MT4G lasts 2 days on a charge? i dunno how you did that... but ihave trouble believing it...
[myTouch 4G General] brianphanz0r:
this ones on a very light use day. probably my lightest use so far. used it a couple of times to text, check internet, listened to music. typically i get a little more than a day on a full charge. this was an extreme case, so i decided to screen shot it
[myTouch 4G General] williamsonoma:

[myTouch 4G General] h22aboi:
here is mine....

this is with light usage, maps, internet, bluetooth voice call = ~30 min

NOTE: This is not my normal battery usage. I only get this far during weekend. During the work week when I use my phone alot, I charge and unplug before I go to sleep, and charge the next day @~7pm with 30% left.

Is leaving your phone on charge over night bad for the battery? I usually charge it fully before sleep then leave it on all night.

[myTouch 4G General] eyenokea:
Excellent tips, please keep them coming. Still trying to figure out the right setup. So far just putting brightness to 30% has helped a bunch.
[myTouch 4G General] sleepyfu:
Use "Dimmer (night mode)" by geekyouup from Market. you can toggle on/off auto brightness and set the lcd to the darkest by one click, great for in door and night time use since the auto brightness does not seem to go full dim even when in pitch black conditions.

On my stock rom:

turn off or lower the frequency of auto sync to accounts such as stocks, news, t-mobile, etc...

set up peak/off peak sync profile on the exchange activesync if you use work email.

use wi-fi at home instead of cell network. (i have not seen tests on this, but feels like using radio takes more battery than using wi-fi)

I also turn off my wireless networks location service, and left on the GPS at all times. As GPS will only really turn on when you open apps that uses it. (who knows how often wireless networks one uploads data?)
[myTouch 4G General] sunsean:
Wow - don't know how you achieved such long battery life. I'm on stock too, not rooted yet, and I'm lucky if I get 14 hours on a single charge. Usually charge it overnight, take it off around 8am when I leave for work, and have to plug it back in around 8 or 9 that night. I'm typically getting about 12 hours on a charge, with moderate use. Screen is almost all the way down to lowest level (lower than auto-brightness would set it at), I also have data on and autosync on.

Anything you're leaving out that would explain such extreme battery life with those settings? Very different from my experience thus far.

Somebody tell me how to get a snapshot of my screen and I'll post a picture of my phone with 2.5 days of use with ~20% battery remaining. That's what I got over the weekend.

I keep display dim unless I'm watching a movie, speed set to lowest with screen off, grankin kernel v.03, most T-mobile apps frozen with Titanium Backup, Background Data disabled, stock ROM.
[myTouch 4G General] nick34609:
Use shootme. You can get it in the market.
[myTouch 4G General] sunsean:
So after actually trying the instructions in this other thread, I'm sad to say it hasn't seemed to help me. Pretty sure I followed HTC's instructions exactly, and in 6 hours of having finished this procedure, I'm down from 100 to 43%. Very minor-moderate use in that time period: listened to some music, surfed a little web, couple brief phone calls, a couple texts, and some game playing (not angry birds lol).

Anyone who has tried HTC's tips on the recharging cycle procedure had success with the MT4G? The tip was initially in an EVO thread, so even though they're both HTC, maybe it doesn't help as much with the mytouch?

Which app takes screen shots on a a stock non rooted mt4g again?

*Via my HTC EvO 4G*
[myTouch 4G General] Chilled26:
None, u need root to take screenshots.
[myTouch 4G General] jdkoren:
If you don't have root, you can take screenshots using ADB. Plug in your phone, open a command prompt and navigate to the tools subdirectory of your Android SDK folder. Type "ddms" and press enter. A program should open up, and in one of the menus there is a screen capture tools.
[myTouch 4G General] sunsean:
Little update to my battery life after trying HTC's recommended charge cycle. Yesterday I went about 16 hours (8am to midnight) with 15% left. Not amazing, but better than I'd been getting recently (dead around 12 hours). And I actually used my phone moderately yesterday, played about 30 minutes of a game (word mix lite), couple brief phone calls (5-10 minutes total), read a couple articles online, listened to about 45 minutes of music, watched a short video, some google chatting and a couple texts. Auto-syncing and background data on all day, plus GPS (doesn't seem to use it unless I'm in maps or another app that needs it). Screen is a little above the lowest setting. I live in NYC and though coverage is generally great, I'm without service for about an hour every day when I'm underground on the subway or in my gym, I don't kill my data during these times even though I know I won't have service, so this battery life includes at least an hour of having no signal (which we all know means the phone is looking for one, guzzling battery in the process).

Going from 12 hours to 16+ is a definite improvement.

ps I'm not sure if these are tangible results or just a placebo effect. Immediately after doing the charge cycle, I dropped 57% in 6 hours, then the next day I get 16+ hours with 15% left, so who knows? I feel like the battery life really seems to change day to day, but obviously usage of the phone varies a bit day to day...ah well, as long as I can make it a solid 12 hours, from morning until evening, I'm fine.
[myTouch 4G General] sleepyfu:
Stock kernel no setcpu tweaks. brightness at mostly 25% and some full dim.

i was able to get 15+ hr before it gets below 20% batt life

1hr phone call including 20min on speaker

30min angry birds (in airplane mode)

I feel that if i keep the screen brightness down, the batt life is fine for all day use.

also that full dim is still really bright on these phones, lame. as well as the problem with auto brightness not going full dim in the dark.

[myTouch 4G General] h22aboi:
Just got 2d....

Minimal minimal use. About 30 minutes bluetooth phone, checking emails several times a day. No games. Probably 30 min or so total internet during work when I was bored. Biggest killer was the voice calls. Screen drains batt fast too.

I rec rebooting your phone after every charge so you don't get those rogue apps and figure out if they are draining your batt. I uninstalled tango and some others after I found that out...
[myTouch 4G General] surfnhawaii808:
Thanks for sharing this!
[myTouch 4G General] ChodTheWacko:
There is a nice widget called 'Screen Filter' which you can use to reduce the screen brightness even further. In the dark/dim rooms I find 50% of 'full dim'

to be very readable.

- Frank
[myTouch 4G General] sleepyfu:
thanks, i know of that app, but as we know screen filter tints the screen so it's darker, it doesn't help with battery life on LCD paneled phones. not sure if the display driver needs an update or the settings' codes. I was really stoked on auto brightness when I first got the phone, but the whole not getting full dim, and the constant adjustment during use instead of once per unlock got me to turn off the auto and went back to good'ol curvefish's brightness widget.
[myTouch 4G General] gio25:
I have the stock ROM and I have a lot of trouble with the battery performance, I discover when you change the phone without the battery being depleted, the battery does not last more than 10 hours, I installed super power today, I'm going to test it, but right away I noticed something. I used to have juice defender and my work emails wont sync and right after I installed super power I receive my emails. I don't know if this is relevant to any of you but so I say ti just in case.
[myTouch 4G General] ChodTheWacko:
WTF, I did not know that.

So that means all the suggestions of 'use a dark background image' also don't help?

Geesh!

[myTouch 4G General] hkbladelawhk:
Wow. I'm getting an average drop of 11 percent per hour. I'm paranoid about letting my battery too low. I'm on the charger all day essentially.

Setup :

Stock rom temprooted

Titanium backup has almost all non essential apps frozen

Setcpu at 768 Max when screen is on and 245 when screen is off

Also running superpower

Background data is always disabled

Running Easyfilter for Calls and Blacklist for texts

Running Lookout

Neither Lookout nor the filters show much use of cpu.

Still a large drop.

EDIT: Let it sit on my desk, with Background data disabled for 80% of the time it was there. Using it to check the forums once or twice, and sent a few texts, and it went from 100% to 62% in 2 hours and 48 minutes. Display is using 64% of the power, and then Cell standby at 8%. Watchdog is sitting at 8% used and 88% idle. Hmm. This is just sad. If anyone has any further ideas. Please let me know.
[myTouch 4G General] hkbladelawhk:
Does it really make a difference if you drain completely? I've never done that. My luck is that I would drain it and need the phone right away once its dead.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samcobra:
So I again decided to try the newest miui rom for my incredible, but as with all prior times I've tried this rom, the wifi won't work. Whenever I switch it on, it tries to scan for networks for a bit before giving up, saying "unable to scan for networks" and then turning itself off (the wifi that is).

I tried looking online, and it seems this isn't just a problem with the rom itself, but maybe something else?

I've tried full wiping before installing and everything. Nothing works. Also, the wifi works fine in skyraider sense rom.

I could really use some advice. Is anyone else having this issue with miui rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanijelDesire:
The same problem with HTC Desire.

Other ROMs work fine.

Constantly obtaining IP address or scanning.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samcobra:
Any fix for this upcoming or in the new release?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Try flashing the ROM from ROM Manager with full wipe (data/dalvik/cache) then flashing it again over it, using install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard in Clockworkmod Recovery this time. I had that issue in Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo at first then I did that and it fixed it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ber66:
I have the same problem on my Milestone. Every other ROM connects immediately thorough WiFi and every version of MIUI don't :(

Could You PGleo86 tell me exactly step by step how to do this? Because i think i might doing it wrong. I've installed Rom Manager and it got me Flash Clockworkmod Recovery thorough the OP data transfer. Then i chose 'Install ROM from SD card' and pick OpenRecovery/update/miui_file.zip

Should i install Recovery Clockwork in a different way? Manualy put it on sd card and if yes then how, where. Adding update.zip Instead of Androidiani OpenRecovery 3.3 that i have now.

Sorry for my english. ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
How it's done:

You have clockworkmod recovery on there already, I assume.

Put your ROM's zip on the sdcard.

Boot into clockworkmod through ROM Manager

Use the option for wiping all caches

Use install zip from sdcard to get to the zip you put on there and install. post back here with results

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ber66:
Boot into clockwork doesn't work :( After clickin this option, i see for just a second image od recovery but it seems to not load completely and boot again loading MIUI again. So i can't go into manual recovery. Maybe it's because i have still andriodiani recovery on the sdcard.

And what about crashing my phone with this app? Is it save already to use it ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
The xda app crashes a lot lol. Try flashing clockworkmod again

Sent from my Uber Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ber66:
Is there any app tool to trace processes responsible for WiFi , to find out why there's no connection? Maybe i could paste log for some developers who would understand my Milestone MIUI case.

Update 29.01.

FroyoMod 2.4. - the same thing. Wifi can't connect. :(

So only GOT 2.2.1 and official 2.1.
[General Topics] recasper:
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this forum. I respect the true developers that push out groundbreaking work and invest their time and talents into what they do, but I have noticed something that does make me a bit disappointed.

I first started coming to XDA early last year when I got me a G1... And while I am not a big contributor, I do adore reading through the wealth of knowledge and advice here. Early on it seems the feel of the board was so much more accepting and pleasant. It was one of the Biggest reasons I stuck with my G1 and felt it would be the big thing to come.

But it seems as of recent, the tone of some areas of this forum have went sour and south. I understand things happen, such as multiple posts about questions that have been answered or goofy comments. And these things get irritating. But they happen. When did the better than you, don't question us, and without warning "snaps" start happening.

I LOVE Android, and I am Very proud to be part of the Android wave since G1, but the bigger we get the more iPhone-fanatical and holier than thou the atmosphere is seemingly becoming.

Why should we treat new comers to the system with such venom or even older members. I have seen high post count members help in some posts and call new members "idiots" or the like, in others. I see threads getting squashed before the ink has dried regarding items of interest that - while a search could be beneficial - the problem may be slightly different or something completely different, if only the ones snapping off at the "member" would read them. I see people defending certain aspects with careless abandon of rationality. Same goes for new users that have a tech problem and get angry when the first response doesn't help. When did entitlement to instant answers come into the picture?

These are not highly common issues that are here - and all forums have such irritations - but they are still here and in much higher velocity the more expanded Android becomes.

I guess with great power comes great responsibility. And when the under dog becomes the big dog, he finds it necessary to bite all the other dogs in retribution.

I don't know, it just saddens me to see such actions here, and I guess I do kinda miss being the underdog a bit and enjoying the camaraderie that came with it.

EDIT: I want to stress that my intended meaning here is not that XDA has become some completely nasty, demented, angry beast. I love this forum. I am merely comparing today to the early days and how the recent breakout of Android and the aspect of being the top dog has changed some tones slightly.
[General Topics] Anderdroid:
Oh yes. The rudeness over in the Vibrant section is unacceptable.
[General Topics] orb3000:
We invite you to help us by reporting bad behavior, it´s impossible for us to look all the threads in all the sections, so we count a lot with the help of all members to make this more than 3 million great forum called XDA better.

Thanks,
[General Topics] recasper:
I in no way meant this to mean it's the fault of the Moderators of XDA. Orb is absolutely correct. We readers and commenters are the front line to help remedy this. I am simply remarking on the state and tone of the masses, as we advance from small groups with pioneer devices to the majority of the mobile smart phone community.

Android is pure, its open... as well our arms and responses should be - in a respectful manner. To all questions big, small or redundant. To all comparisons and technological oppositions.

I say that as merely a comment of how we should hold our honor under this platform and as a community. Not as a indictment in any way. This should be the basis of Android and its adopters young and old in places like XDA that are one of the faces of our brand. It's what makes us great. All accepting and all helping. Coming from the small humble steps of Google slightly more than 10 years ago, to the pillars of might which they have now become, I guess this is what I initially meant to express....The original sight and humble nature should not be lost and above all negativity should be hindered.

And as Orb stated, we the readers are the best hope to help remedy such actions, and as such, we such be steadfast in keeping the tone positive and not condemning all things seemingly redundant or in opposition to Android.

Keep up the great work XDA. There are no villains here, merely a young and VERY inspired and dedicated community with a great future. Let's make sure that when the legend is written, that it's written with the proper feelings in place.

So very sorry to jump on a soap box.. I am just very proud to be a part of this community. And my pride spurs very much from the positive nature of this forum and the Android world in general. I never want to lose that rare gem.

Fantastic words!

:)

No need to be sorry, I can get your feeling and share it as well:)!!

Just adding: Not only Android...We have the father of all touch screen OS devices: Windows Mobile, also Windows Phone 7 and even iPhone all come together in XDA!! (and perhaps more to come in the future!)
[General Topics] caguirr4:
this is a very well put together comment. It sort of makes me feel bad of the few,very few times thay I had been rude. Not intentionally but just having a bad day and escaping to the forums for relaxation and ease then being rude in some of my comments. This certainly will make me be gratuous for such a great forum and for the help that I have gotten. I will definetly think twice of all my post from here on out.
[General Topics] recasper:
In my rant I completely neglected to keep in mind that XDA is not only the developmental face of Android but so many others. I kind of fell into tunnel vision as I jumped upon my soap box. All other OS platforms should absolutely be acknowledged and thank you Orb for correcting me.

I guess I was focusing more on the Android section of this site due to its weight here and the fact I spend all my time in these sections. Seeing negativity in the areas where there is an assumed open and welcoming nature of Android and its community, tweaked me and inspired me to post this. After thinking about it, this is to say, my thoughts aren't 100% specifically toward the Android section and not to be dismissing the likes of Win7, WinMobile, iPhone and of course (and well stated, Orb) all others to come. I see myself as more of a member of the Android section than any other, but the general feel of my comments are to span all forum sections. Respect, thats what is important.

Thank you, caguirr4, and any following posters with such thoughts. That was my exact intention here. For us all to reanalyze our responses and comments, even when we have had a bad day or feel irritable for redundancy or what some may see as surface ignorance. And to understand that not all readers are developers or highly computer savvy. But merely wanting to get a foothold in this complex area and most are doing what they can. We should open our arms, as we do our code, and allow them safe passage. Especially without the fear of receiving a scathing reply to a post simply reaching for help or personal expression.

And above all thank you ALL for what you do in this incredibly innovative, inspiring and all around wonderful forum.

I shall now step down from this podium and stop wasting everyones time. :-) haha
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
I know I've personally been rude a few times and I see your point. I was once just as lost with android as some of the new members coming here. Each thread should be treated as important and relevant and if something as simple as a search would suffice then a link to the topic with the answer could be provided and instead of "omg search n00b" a more friendly "Here is the link, please search a bit more carefully next time" could be placed. I know some would still take that as hostile even when it's not meant to be but it is less aggressive and if the person is new maybe even throw in a "and welcome to the forums". I don't really contribute that much in terms of development (I'm not sure you'd even really call my thread development or not) but I, like you, love this community and the amazing things that can be done when we join together. I know some of us just get a bit annoyed at seeing the same question a few hundred times over and there's always that one "straw that breaks the camel's back" and as we learn more ourselves some answers may seem obvious to us when they're not so obvious to others. Thank you for posting this and making us all think about not only our own posts in response to others, but what we really want this community to be and what its potential is.
[General Topics] madnish30:
Thank you OP for the feedback. We will certainly keep this in mind and try to get better.

Over the past few months we have grown enormously, we have added numerous non-hTC devices, plus we have openly started adding all android devices which come out compared to previously only Windows mobile OS devices. Which has lead to a huge influx of new members.

XDA is a convergence of numerous types of people some know it all, some are really knew, some understand english really well, and some not so well.. This is what leads to frustrations, and hence rude-ness over the forums. Eventually as people mature on XDA, they hopefully do learn the manners of posting on a board such as XDA.

And those who don't we moderators are always their to deal with them.

Thank you again for the feedback, it has been noted and we will surely try to make XDA a more welcoming and friendlier place.

Any issues/suggestions/comments feel free to contact me.
