Well, have had the 3500mAh battery for a while and its not the battery. I am totally baffled. The phone hasn't been dropped, there's not a blemish on it anywhere. Absolutely everything works, there's no 100% wake time...the up time and awake times are different and at least appear to be reasonable.

Both regular and extended batteries have been through the HTC-recommended 'conditioning' procedure, or whatever they call it. I've tried several different Sense ROMs as well as CM6-6.1 (doing double and triple wipes of everything), with various kernels...stock, custom, SBC, non-SBC, HAVs, noHAVs, more aggressive/less aggressive/no undervolting, TM, King's (always wiping cache and dalvik). They don't all run the same, but regardless of what ROM or kernel I have installed, after charging all night I can unplug the phone and leave the house at 6:00 AM, not use the phone at all...100% screen-off time, and by 3-ish in the afternoon the stock battery is at 35-40%. Awake time could be anything from 45-mins to a little over an hour.

Previous to this, and whatever switch got thrown that's causing this, after that same 9-hours of non-use the stock battery would be at least 90%...maybe 85% on a weird day.

With the same 3500mAh battery that others get through 12-hours of extremely heavy use, or with casual use go a few days on, I can use it to maybe answer a couple of texts, quickly view and delete a few emails, manually killing the screen after any activity, and by 5:00 PM, 11-hours later, I'm looking at 40% charge.

The only suggestion that anyone has had (in another forum) was to download the original signed RUU, run it taking the phone completely back to original state, update it OTA, and then re-root (hboot 2.10 with Unrevoked 3.31 or whatever it is, latest RA, etc). The theory is that 'sometimes using the RUU and going completely back to stock is the only thing that fixes some issues'. Has anyone else ever heard of anything like that?

If anyone can shed any light on this in any way, shape or form, you have my sincere thanks in advance.

Thank you for your time.
[EVO 4G General] jasonziter:
A lot of times its a market app that's the culprit. Make sure you don't have an app installed that keeps your phone awake even when the screen is off. The market tells you what every program has access to including wake issues. After a fresh Rom install / kernel flash........check all apps to make sure none of em do this. Task killers are not the answer......not installing apps with too many permissions helps a ton.
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
I got the same story from the sprint repair center by me as well. When they told me new phone I asked them "do you mean a referb" they said "yes". I'd rather have my screen replaced then get a referb
[EVO 4G General] nYdGeo:
Thank you for your reply. Yep, I stopped using task killers of any type when froyo was released due to OS functionality making them useless, and if fact a negative.

So far I haven't experienced any extreme wake-time issues, though I knwo they can be a big problem.

I've tested this by completely wiping everything several times, flashing a ROM and not making any changes so its still using the factory HTC #15 kernel which is pretty well known now for good battery life. I've run it like that for a week with multiple restarts, full charges with battery stat wipes, etc.

So far, no luck, no change. Still hoping to figure it out.
[EVO 4G General] nYdGeo:
Problem Identified but not yet resolved.

It appears that there is some issue with one or more radios in my phone. I don't know enough about the innerds to know if there is more than one, but whatever receives data downstream is screwed up.

Over time I've noticed that my downstream data has gotten slower and slower. Then I started missing calls periodically, and texts sent to me at 10:30 AM were showing up as arriving at 6:30 PM...weird stuff.

After un-rooting, performing a complete factory reset, and a complete data restore (from the ##3282# menu), the phone and texts seem to be more consistant, but running the SpeedTest app to a server here in NOLA produces the following results:

Ping: 20ms - 30ms

Downstream: 0 - 128Kbs (Seriously, I get "0" often, and 128Kbs is the absolute max achieved on occasion)

Upstream: 1.2Mb - 1.46Mb

After re-rooting the phone, I've tested this in the Azrael 4.0 and EViO 1.8 Sense ROMs, and in CM6.12, and the results are identical. Its very strange that it only seems to affect the downstream rate.

I guess its time to RUU, bring it to a Sprint store, pay their $35 and see if they can fix it.
[General Topics] saurabh88:
Does rooting phone void the warrant?

I have just bought optimus one and don't want to void my warranty.so can someone please. Make correction.
[General Topics] Diamond_dawg:
Yes rooting Voids your memory, but most of the Restoring to Stock firmware makes the warranty come back
[General Topics] serverxeon:
sry to dig this thread, but how does the service centre actually check for signs of rooting?

by unrooting will the service centre be 100% unable to see it was rooted?
[General Topics] DJ-rb:
If you completely restore the phone (as you would with an RUU) to my knowledge the phone would be completely restored. No one would know it had been rooted. If they even bring it up ...tell them you did a factory restore because you didnt trust the techs with your private info.
[Nexus S General] dskyers:
I just jumped ship from nexus one one to nexus s I love it you will too... its nice people ...
[Nexus S General] GHOST99K:
Should've waited for a dual core-core android by HTC.just saying...
[Nexus S General] Mokurex:
Yea, it's nice, but where am i gonna dig up $529? :P
[Nexus S General] Poolmunch:
Root it and provide system dumps
[Nexus S General] tuan209:
I just bought one out right with no contract, and I will see how I like it for the next few days.

First impression is that its def a finger magnet. Overall, the phone is much snappier than my OC N1 running Rod's latest MIUI ROM. Gingerbread has some nice improvements but I am already missing the MIUI slide screen. Someone please port it over ASAP :).

The screen, while being the S-AMOLED, isnt a night and day difference from the N1 screen.

More on the phone as I continue to use it.....
[Nexus S General] [IO]ERROR:
Would love to know more about the VOIP integration.
[Nexus S General] Mactagonist:
There is always something to wait for. I have never found the single core on my N1 to be lacking, so I highly doubt I will find the significantly faster single core in my Nexus S lacking. If dual cores are a big deal 6 months from now I will sell the Nexus S and trade up.

Sell your N1, then you will only have to come up with $150-$180. :cool:
[Nexus S General] wondercoolguy:
So?

This needs to be moved to the Nexus S forum
[Nexus S General] SoberGuy:
I don't think the Hummingbird is "significantly faster" than Snapdragon. Sammy has better GPU performance, which is what is mostly noticed. Both are clocked at 1GHz. I do believe Hummingbird performs slightly better than Snapdragon (can't recall why I have that belief, though), but when comparing strictly processor performance, it's minimal. The GPU is the big difference.

Seriously! Take it over there...
[Nexus S General] wondercoolguy:
@soberguy Well another point to the single core issue is not things that are taking place right now but things that are taking place over the next year. Developers are going to start making high thing that will require dual core for maxium performace. Also.....where are the moderators to move this
[Nexus S General] SoberGuy:
Oh no trust me, you and I agree. I'm not getting the S with dual core around the corner. I think it's a complete waste of money. The S has some advantages over the 1, but to me, they aren't worthwhile with dual core coming very, very soon.

I just wanted to point out that Hummingbird and Snapdragon are both 1GHz, and I don't think that Hummingbird is significantly faster than Snapdragon. GPU is a different story; we all know that has been HTC's achilles heel for some time now (go back to their WinMo days and the driver fiasco...).

You and I agree, bud. The S isn't worth it, and this thread is in the wrong damn forum.
[Nexus S General] draugaz:
It is hard to know until you have both GalaxyS/2.2 with NexusS/2.3 running side by side, as they have the same CPU/GPU combination and the only difference is the OS.

It could well be that 2.3 uses the GPU for something what 2.2 was doing with CPU alone. And this could turn out as the biggest difference.

I am sure that N1 GPU as such is plenty fast enough, as it is used by the most of the current WP7 phones. Nobody seems to be complaining about the "jerkiness" of the WP7 interface. It is actually a matter of the time and effort sank into UI and the underlying graphics drivers. As a consequence, it can also happen, that N1 graphics drivers get less optimized as the ones in NS. We will see.
[Nexus S General] norazi:
Even if dual core “around the corner” I honestly don’t think we will see optimized software for at least 6 months.... Look at the desktop computing world.. It took nearly a year for dual core to make a difference back when it was intel core solo vs core duo (or amd64 vs X2)... The software just took a lil longer to catch up. Even now, its taking awhile for a quad core to be worth it over a dual core
[Nexus S General] flybyme:
actually the cpu on the snapdragon is faster for computational tasks thanks to its FPU. hummingbird is on par to much slower in terms of computations (its linpack is like 14 lol)

the gpu is what separates the hummingbird from the snapdragon which is why hummingbirds seem better due to its overall performance
[Nexus S General] SoberGuy:
Excellent post, Sir. I always had the impressions, for some reason, that Hummingbird was a touch better, but the GPU made it really excel. It's great to hear that Snapdragon is actually a bit better, but is in fact held back due to the GPU. This makes me reconsider my next purchase significantly. I was thinking of holding off on HTC, as they'll continue to use Qualcom. Perhaps I'll stick with HTC, depending on when they have a dual core available for AT&T frequencies.
[Nexus S General] mac208x:
Ima gonna puke with all this crap about nexus s. It sucks people its made by samsung. Plastic shell cheap ****. Gps problems will come out soon and u ppl will be crying why I brought it! It's a galaxy s phone so I won't be surprised if tons of **** is wrong with it. Get the new LG phone instead or muizu m9

[Nexus S General] gibosn6594:
But that was the first time people had seen dual core on any device. Now it's been around a while and people know what they are dealing with.
[Nexus S General] wondercoolguy:
Hopefully they cry on the nexus s forum.....
[Nexus S General] wdfowty:
So, I don't know if I'm the only one, but the only mention of dual core in a device that I've seen is the new Motorola Stingray tablet they were using to show off Maps 5. I don't even think Ginger supports Dual core. I honestly don't think we'll see anything dual core until Honeycomb.

Is there really any reason for NEEDING a dual-core processor in your phone? The only reason I can see for having it is to brag about it.
[Nexus S General] tameracingdriver:
Must be worse than the screen on the SGS then as the SGS I had had a clearly far better screen than the N1.
[Nexus S General] BiTXBoi:
finger magnet? I thought it had an oleophobic surface...
[Nexus S General] BiTXBoi:
what about the LG Optimus 2X?

it could perfectly turn out to be a battery saver, executing 2 tasks in parallel at lower clock than 2 tasks on the core at higher clock (and so, higher voltage)

But I can see you point and I wouldn't disagree either
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
I jumped ship too. My bestbuy only had 4 in stock but could only find 2.

They were thinking bestbuy employees stashed the other 2....

Screen difference is HUGE! Nexus S is nice, smooth, and doesn't feel cheap.

The curve of the phone fits good in my pocket and rounds good with my quad.
[Nexus S General] Eclair~:
I believe that only refers to the screen, not the entire plastic covered device.

(ignore the thanks I gave to your post, it's right next to the quote button =/)
[Nexus S General] wondercoolguy:
Most ppl don't buy their phones at the actual price of 529 they get them 199 and lock themselves in a two year contract. So you are right at this very momment we dont need a dual core, but in the near future when devs are taking full advantage of dual cores you singles will be feeling like android 1.5 and 1.6 ppl waiting to see if their device is going to be upgraded to 2.2. That is the point don't lock yourselfs down for two years on old technology.
[Nexus S General] BiTXBoi:
from Google's Nexus S page

well, if he was referring to the whole device and not the screen...I've got no room to judge, as I'm not a Nexus S owner and none of my friends are either
[Nexus S General] pwig:
Does the phone actually have fastboot oem unlock?

Does samsung handle the repairs?

Are they more or less likely to swap or repair a phone that has been rooted or unlocked?

These are questions that need answering!
[Nexus S General] SoberGuy:
No, these are questions suited for the NS forum. Have fun over there.
[Nexus S General] player911:
Power saving capabilities. The CPU has more advanced power usage. So one CPU can scale down to 200mhz and utilize almost nothing while it handles another task at 500mhz based on need. This is better then the phone doing 1 task at full speed.

Perhaps I'm not the best at explaining it, but NVIDIA did a nice write up on it. Basically the bottom line is just like all new processors, they use less power. And with 2 cores it can move twice as fast without having to max any single core.

And while I understand the reasoning for software to be able to "fully" take advantage of the second core, but CPU's are smart enough to do load balancing themselves, regardless. You'll still see gains and battery savings with a dual core. The perk is that when the software catches up, it'll just get better.
[Nexus S General] teleknEsis:
I've got the ViewSonic G-Tablet with Tegra2 and I can say the battery life on the device is INSANE!! I haven't charged my tablet for 3 days and I'm still at 35% battery. Dual-core FTW!

Also, to everyone who says that people wanting dual-core right now is just so they can brag: True, as of right now you don't really get much advantage out of dual-core (except power-saving, imo). However, I'd still rather have a phone (or device) with hardware that is ahead of the software running on it because that means as the software advances the same hardware will only continue to get better; a MAJOR reason why I bought the G-Tablet over the Archos 101. It essentially has the exact same hardware in it that Google is currently using for Honeycomb dev.

Considering that dual-core phones are right around the corner, I'd rather wait the couple of months it will take for them to come to market since my N1 is MORE than sufficient for me right now. When I get my next phone I'd like to have a similar experience as my N1 where no phone released for a full year even tempts me to jump ship.

[Nexus S General] uansari1:
No kidding. My gf's G2's screen looks much sharper than my N1... can't imagine the Nexus S looking the same. Is it pentile?

[Nexus S General] Mactagonist:
I made a few posts this morning about how happy I was with the Nexus S and what a nice (albeit minor) upgrade it was from my Nexus One.

Tonight, I am very happy I havnt sold that Nexus One yet. :)

Whoever decided that the Nexus S didnt need the same (or better) multiple microphone noise cancelation system the Nexus One has is a god damn moron who probably uses his phone in his bedroom and nowhere else. :mad:

I was out and about in midtown on 5th Ave and downtown near Wall St. for most of the afternoon and the sound quality on the Nexus S is unusably bad in a noisy environment. My callers cant hear me well at all, while they hear every whisper in the background clear as a bell. It is absolutely infuriating and it guarantees that the Nexus S is going back to Best Buy sometime in the next 30 days.

I have used the Nexus One all year in the same environments and it has gotten nothing but praise for its sound quality.
[Nexus S General] wang1404:
One thing how is the auto brightness on the phone? Test it please and let me know. Do you see any difference when you jump from well lit place to a darker place? Any changes at all?

The reason why I ask is because this bug is significant, nobody seems to really care though. A lot of smart phones infected with that auto brightness bug. My g2 has it, the galaxy s line has it, more too but I have seen only the nexus one isn't infected.
[Nexus S General] Buck Shot:
i understand that a lot of people are crying saying take this over to the Nexus S forums but for a lot of N1 users that may be on the border of purchasing one. I think its good insight for previous N1 users to let us know what they think... i mean we could just go to their forum but whatever. I want one, but the N1 is still a beast. I just want one to have one
[Nexus S General] SoberGuy:
No one's crying. There's a forum for the S. Keep **** organized and play over there. It's like posting ROMs in the Q&A. It ain't organized like that.

But you're just too lazy? Or what? Bookmark the S forum. Hell, give it a shortcut key. Set up an RSS feed for all I care. If people are interested, they'll go over there.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
I am a little confused about the RFS. RFS is samsung's proprietary files system, which based on older inefficient files systems.

- Why did they use it at all? from what I have read it has no benefit, unless Samsung just wanted to slow down 3rd party devs.

- are all files on the vibrant in RFS? (system, apps, internal sd, external sd)

Voodoo and other lagfixs:

- Do they convert RFS to another format (EXT2, EXT4) so that RFS is no longer used at all?

- The improvement in quadrant scores looks significant, but I don't feel that much of an improvement IRL. How badly does RFS hinder the performance of our phones?

- ttabbal in this thread made several popular roms RFS free. Why don't devs take this route more often?

I am running R14 with Super IO kernel and my phones flies but I have always been curious about RFS. Thanks for any help understanding the basics of RFS, how it works in our phones and the troubles it causes our devs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmalott:
This is a great question for someone with some in depth knowledge of the subject. I understand the principles being a linux guy but would love to hear from someone who knows more about this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0zone:
Rfs was not made by Samsung, and is not the issue on the vibrant ...

The dev who made oclf has found the rfs driver, which was made by Samsung, to be the issue, and the super I/O kernal posted by Eugene, which is based on a 2.2.1 base, shows that Samsung may have updated that driver ....

Hopes this helps ........
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bernardos70:
Very interesting.... so then one is left to assume that the driver handled EXT2 and other formats well, but not RFS.
[General Questions and Answers] jman0:
Hi all,

I own this phone since march and I'm now curious to know if anyone knows whether there's any ROM update (English or Spanish) for this Chinese phone. I found ROM's for the older W72 model but, even if both phones look exactly the same, I'd never risk without knowing.

If no ROM is available, are there any newer versions of the apps by HiSilicon (manufacturer of the HiSilicon K3 processor the phone uses)? The gravity sensor is far from perfect and I'd also like to know if there's any new version of the camera app, specially one where the user is able to turn off the annoying (and too loud) shutter sound. Here, on this same forum, I found a cab ripped from another HiSilicon K3 based phone, but it doesn't work, unless I rotate my screen. Looks like that camera app is expecting the phone to work in 240x320, and not in 320x240, as this phone does. Also, that camera app had fewer options and looked older than the one I got on the phone.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: does anyone know of a hardware button combo (not the software option under start/settings) to hard reset this phone? I hope I never have to use it, but you never know.
