[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevoryour:
I checked the partial wake usage and I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

I actually have an update to the situation. As a last resort I wiped my phone and loaded Cyanogen 6.1. At first it was working awesome. Battery life was awesome but as time went on the battery life got worse and worse and now i'm back where I started.

It sure seems like there is software problem with the way the phone tracks the battery usage/charging information. As I said it seems like charging the phone midway through the day or charging the phone before the phone is dead seems to have a negative effect on the battery. I don't get it. Letting the phone completely die isn't realistic. Charging the phone when I go to bed without affecting how long the phone last after the next charge should be totally doable you would think.

Does anyone have any suggestions or insight that might help me out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
You don't say if you charge with the phone powered off or on. But sound like you're always charging with the phone turned on.

I don't think the phone charges fully while turned on (to prevent overheating maybe? ).

If you can, I'd suggest trying to charge with the phone off, at least during the nightly charge.

Yes I do charge my phone while its powered on (like the rest of the world). I don't know anyone that turns their phone off to charge.

My phone is paid for by my company so that they can get ahold of me in the event of a server failure or some other IT related disaster. If the phone was off I wouldn't be able to receive those important calls.

I can't believe no one else has witnessed this type of activity with the incredible. I have tried 2 phones (replaced for an unrelated reason) and 3 batteries. The behavior seems like a software glitch. I have noticed with with both AOSP and Sense Roms.

Does anyone have an in depth understanding of how the battery system works on this phone. I also have an Iphone and the battery life compared to my android phone is ridiculous. I would use the Iphone exclusively but it doesn't do everything my android phone can do. I'm hoping there is a way to fix this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
Well, now you do know someone who charges with their phone off. Me!

I'm in IT as well and on call one week per month. But we don't run a third shift, so late night calls are almost never, and they have my land line number.

Back on topic, I have experienced better battery life while charging with the phone off. Maybe you can get an external charger until a solution is found.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevoryour:
Well i'm on call 24/7 and I don't have a landline.

What do you mean by "get an external charger until a solution is found." Do you mean a second charger to charge during the day? I have plenty of chargers. Thats part of the problem. Charging in the middle of the day I believe is causing the problem. Until a solution is found? Are you saying there is in fact a problem?

Having to leave my phone plugged in all day kind of defeats the purpose of having a wireless phone don't you think?

Please...anyone have any knowledge of how the charging system works in android and specifically how it might work differently on the incredible?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
I should have said get an extra battery and a stand-alone charger that allows you to charge the extra battery while it's disconnected from the phone.

Have you read the thread in general titled 'your battery gauge is lying to you'. (or something like that). Good read. Also there's hundreds of other threads on the inc's battery issues. Well known problem.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockehill10:
If your up time and awake time are essentially the same, you definitely have something running in the background. Try menu/settings/applications/running services and see what program might be running that shouldn't be. You can also use an app called System Panel to do a comprehensive survey. I recently had an update that resulted in the program running continuously in the background, affecting my battery life.

Some other threads have discussed that after 40+ hours of up time, their phone goes into max CPU usage all the time. Again, using the app System Panel, I confirmed this for my own phone at 45 hours. My ROM is the stock Froyo 2.2 with a custom kernel. the simple solution is to power off/power on the phone which resets the uptime.

My routine is to charge the phone with power on over night so I can use the alarm. When I get up in the morning, I power off the phone and bump charge it for about 30 minutes until the light turns green again. Then I'm usually good for about 10 - 12 hours of uptime with 3-4 hours of awake time using a 1500 battery. That time can also be reduced considerably if I'm receiving a poor 3G signal.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevoryour:
I did originally have a problem with a program not allowing my phone to sleep but I have since uninstalled that program and now my wake time numbers are where they should be. I think the remaining battery issues are a result of me having to charge my phone in the middle of the day as a result of the misbehaving program prior to me uninstalling it.

It almost seems like the the battery in the incredible has a memory. On a hunch I have started completely discharging my phone completely everynight before I put it on the charger. As a result my battery life as almost doubled. When I get home at night I start playing angry birds with the brightness at full until the battery gets to about 3 percent left. This obviously isn't a permanent solution but It certainly sheds some light on the root of the problem.

Prior to doing the full discharge I did a bump charge and wiped my battery stats. The battery is working great now. I wish someone would create a kernal/rom that has this issue resolved. Since these new lithium batteries aren't supposed to have a memory anymore I'm thinking it has to be something that the OS is doing with the battery stats file.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
According to this article you should fully charge and discharge once every 30 or so charging cycles to resync the battery meter with the actual battery voltage. So maybe the complete discharge fixed your problems.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Traveler0:
Gents,

I need your help about "kernel", as I know when installing Android I need the folder named Android and the data.img.

But the kernel what is that?

Thanks for reading and more for helping. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
The kernel is the core of the Android OS. Windows too runs on a kernel. Every build already includes one, and usually the most up-to-date or stable version, so you shouldn't have to worry about it, unless you want to update your kernel some time in the future.

I've been running Android for several months now and I've not updated the kernel once.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Traveler0:
Still there is somthing to say

First I want to thank you for giving me some of your time.

The answer is clear, but why there is update always (now is 8.6)?

and what the kernel is including, is it the same of Android folder?

I hope I will find some more time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Check out here for a bunch of explanations of terms that are commonly used around here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852660&highlight=glossary

The reason that the kernels are updated alot is that the people who build the kernels find flaws in them through testing them, and through the feedback they recieve here on XDA.

Then they work to try and find ways to fix those flaws. Sometimes in fixing one flaw, a new one emerges. Generally it is a good idea to use the latest version of whatever kernel came with the build.
[General Questions and Answers] Jaketipler:
I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 that has been unlocked from the T-Mobile UK network. I'm on the 2Degrees network in NZ however the Internet data connection doesn't work.

I have changed all the APN settings to match the 2Degrees network except that 2Degrees says the APN Type should say Default however there is no option for me to type this in - the only options I get are 'Internet + MMS', 'Internet', and 'MMS'.

I have tried entering in all the different options I can including not setting the APN Type (it defaults to internet anyway) and nothing works.

Any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
Do a hard reset to the phone and then try again?
[General Questions and Answers] Jaketipler:
I assume you mean turning it off then back on again - tried that, no luck. You don't mean completely resetting the device do you? How would I do that? Would I lose any data?
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
You would loose data, are you using a stock rom or custom rom. are you rooted
[General Questions and Answers] Jaketipler:
Don't know what custom or stock rom means so I assume I'm stock, yes I rooted it yesterday trying to do something else.

The firmware was upgraded just before I got it but I'm told it used to work just fine once the settings were correct.

Anyone know the way to set it up correctly?

I bought an X-level battery for my HD after lots of search as I have heard good things about it.

The comparison was with Yoobao and I feel sorry for choosing Momax. The battery does not show the charge level on HD and could not be charged with the original charger with the battery installed.

I sent two emails to Momax eShop as they provide 6 months warranty for the battery.

No response!

My old phone met an untimely death, but i was able to get the micro sd out and it has all my old nandroid backups on it. When i get my new incredible tomorrow, if i root it, can i then just flash a recent backup and will that restore eveything?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
I'm going to assume you mean SD card, since CDMA phones don't have SIMs...

If so, then it should work, but make sure you have the same screen type as the old phone. However, it would probably be best to start fresh. A fresh start on a new phone can do wonders for your experience :D

Besides, there's root for the latest OTA now, so you can just update it all the way, root, and install whatever ROM you want. I, personally, would just start fresh, because the SD crad has all my data that I need anyway.

Hope I helped!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian0488:
Do you mean micro sd, not sim card?

If your old phone was an incredible, you should be able to restore from an old backup.

Give it a try, I don't see how it could hurt.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufvj217:
Read the post??? :confused:

Its not a "problem". it was backed up on another device. whether its your nandroid or not, you're restoring it on another device. different ID. if they refurb ur old phone and someone else gets it, rooted or not, things can get messed up. i suggest just reflashing the rom and re set everything up and make a new backup, and trash the old one. if you back up apps with Titanium backup, theres not too much you'd have to go through and set other than settings/tweaks. even if you use adw launcher, you can save those settings to ur sd card as well..

Apps need to be in phone memory in order to see the shortcut on home screen after reboot.

So, just move those apps back to Phone memory

Select the apps and press "Move to Phone" button.

but the good part is that the shortcut icons will be back :)

you up fw 2.3.4 & kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raremind:
Figured it out

This is definitely a bug in Touchwiz. If the app has been moved to SD and then updated after the move, the Icon disappears after a re-boot. If you move the app from SD to the phone and re-boot the icons stay. Move the apps back to SD and you are fine.

Touchwiz see the icon as an ID and links the icon to the folder if the folder moves Touchwiz assumes that the program is no longer there. By moving it to the phone the id is reconnected and then moved with the transfer to SD.

No need to reset completely, just remember to reboot the phone AFTER you move the programs from SD to Phone. Then reboot AGAIN after you move them back to SD.
