You can easily see what is using your battery. Go to 'settings', then 'about phone', then 'battery use'. What does is say there?

I have seen a lot of people complaining about battery life when using CM. Not sure if that is a coincidence or not... Maybe do a Nandroid and try the stock ROM for a while to rule out a ROM issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminsoyka:
It will show you if your screen/apn/wifi was on our not. Also if you charged your phone. You will have to play with it for a while till you understand which color indicates what but after that you can analyze what your phone is found doing on one sight! Complemented with super powers functionality it gives you a couple od great role tools to adage some good battery!

Display 57 mins at %53

Voice calls 17 mins %26

Cell standby 6 hours %6

Phone idle at 5 hours 10 mins %5

Android systems 8 mins 19 seconds

I'm on 15 percent battery already

It's funny cuz it says 6 hours and 15 mins since last unplugged but its been 12 hours.

only a dozen texts and a few Facebook posts. And very light voice calls
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkhbxx:
Anddd 4 mins after my last post I'm on ten percent battery ;(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech338:
So it's lasted 12 hours, using the screen for an hour and 17 minutes worth of voice calls... I guess that doesn't really seem right to me, although maybe if the screen is 100% brightness... Maybe turn it down to 50% and screen time out to 30 seconds?

Have you always had this kinda battery life?

Can you try these things? :

type in *#*#4363#*#* in your dialer. Select battery information. Is battery health good?

type in *#*#4363#*#* in your dialer. Select battery history. first drop down select partial wake usage. Is anything look out of place (something much larger than the rest)?

Maybe download a program called traffic stats lite? This program will tell you which apps have been transmitting data and how much. Possibly a rogue app that is transmitting all the time?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkhbxx:
Hi tech338. The battery health is good and I hardly ever have my screen on 100 percent bright. The battery was definitely better. On the partial wake lock the only thing with the highest bar is android system. The blue bar is half way up. And its at 1 hour and 17 mins

Thank you

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gorunn:
Dude i think you should try again to update it to 2.1 version using Bin4ry flash tool...that will provide you root access.

Here's the link-:

Pro: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826455

Mini: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825664

In order to use the flasher just try these steps:

1)Download SEUS and Pc Companion and connect the phone with them at least once (just connect)

2)Make sure you have the latest java installed on your pc.

3)Download the flasher from Bin4ry (Just make sure you've downloaded the mini and not the mini pro edition).

4)Download from the same thread a Generic 2.0.A.0.504 FW and put the folder with the .sin files inside the flashtool's directory.

5)Run the flashtool, press flash and then choose the name of the folder, where the .sin files are in.

6)While the phone is off, keep the back button pressed and connect on usb until the green light is on.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 8platypus8:
My father has a Rhodium from his work, it is about 2 years old.

He still has hte factory rom on it and prefers not to flash it because it is from his

work.

He forgot to charge it and now when he tries to charge the phone it keeps

rebooting to the screep HTC Touch Pro 2.

It does NOT load Windows Mobile. And it probably does not charge either

because it doesnt star even if we charge it for more than 15 minutes.

Can someone please help. We prefer a solution without flashing a new rom or

Hard-Resetting beacuese he has a lot of contacts and other data (which he

cant back up right now).

EDIT:

It works again, we tried charging it for an hour and it suddenly booted normally

after we tried starting it up. And now it charges normally

Does anyone have any idea why it started rebooting while charging?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] F2504x4:
two options, let it charge overnight or till the green light shows on a wall charger not the usb to computer, or borrow a battery from someone (or go to the At&t store & hopefully they will have a Tilt 2 in stock) install it and then properly shut off/power off the phone then put in the original battery and let charge with out turning on the phone...;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] musashiz:
rhodium rebooting

right right. i would like to charge it overnight without turning it on but it turns on by itself when its plugged in! ill try leaving it charged for a while like the previous post
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShredNasty:
Alright, I'm rooted. Now, I want to have the WiFi tethering and I'd like to overclock. Can I do both? Is there a kernel that does both, or do I run em one at a time? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix-Lead:
Depends, setiroN puts out a very nice kernel. I use his in my ROMs. On a side note, I would move this to the Q&A before the army shows up! ;)

Edit: you need a custom ROM to gain access to the tethering function.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] used2hvatreo:
If you haven't done it yet, flash Perception or Cognition, they both have wifi and usb tethering on. I haven't played with the others, but if you do some reading you find out about the others.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShredNasty:
Yeah, I saw more technical stuff over here so I posted. My bad. I think I want to stay away from ROMs. Idk though. I've heard they're cool, but always break something. I just came from iPhone and I was up to speed. Now I'm such a lost n00b! My goal WAS to overclock and enable tethering and stay with the stock ROM. Are there any ROMs that don't break ANYTHING? Thanks dude.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] used2hvatreo:
You can always go back to stock, but you never will once you play with some lagfixed kernels and custom roms. I thought this thing blew the iCrap out of the water stock, and its amazing now. Overclocking sounds cool, but unless you are a gamer and actually need the extra clock speed, i'm not sure its worth the effort. I have had ridiculous battery life just using 1GHz and Voodoo lagfix. I would def recommend you try P9.5 (perception) as I have no problems with anything and the best GPS ever.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShredNasty:
Right on dude. I'm gonna give it a shot! P9.5 it is.....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] used2hvatreo:
Cool, lemme know what you think.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShredNasty:
Dude. Could you PM me a link to a how to? Haha!

No disrespect meant to the other ROM devs. I am a DG fanboy and found what I was comfortable with and haven't looked around at all, but I know there are a lot of people out there that like roms made by other devs, and I'm sure they are just as good.

the Perception 9.5 in my signature is the link to the perception thread. The sticky at the top of the thread has all of the guides for beginning to flash roms.

Alright. Finally got back home and got it flashed. Seems fine. Battery life seems a little shorter. I only have about an hour with it. A few questions, what is Blinky? And what is BLN?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
bln is back light notification. it can sometimes be turned off in recovery if the kernel has a modded recovery. basically if you get a text email or other alert the phone will put on the soft key back lights. i dont care for it because im never looking at my phone at it is never in a visable location for the lights to catch my attention. basically if i can see the lights im probably about to unlock my phone anyway in which case i can see the notification in the status bar.

blinky is an app that has something to do with bln but it didnt work when i tried to use it.

give the battery a couple days to calibrate. the batstats file can get all screwy making you think you have battery drain. if you charge the phone while it is off and then start the phone the two battery meters should be close to each other. if they are not then the batstats are likely off. you can clear them in clockworkmod recovery. over the coarse of a few days you may see the battery life appear to get longer.

i believe the accepted procedure for calibrating is charge to full. clear batstats. charge to full +1-2hrs. turn off phone and charge to full again +1hr, turn on phone and charge to full.

but i tend to just clear bat stats once and use the phone. im not gonna dis anyones method but i see no point in the calibration thing.
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
Found this while browsing Ebay for batteries. Can charge both your phone with battery in it and a spare battery at the same time. Pretty slick and at only $20 not a bad price either. Might be worth it.http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Sprint-EVO-4G-KiDiGi-2nd-Battery-USB-Charger-Cradle-/140478601582?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b52d596e#ht_2155wt_1139
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bielinsk:
Looks pretty nice. Post some pics and a review when you get it.

I am interested if it can charge BOTH with only the DC cord or if it needs DC and USB to do both.
[EVO 4G Accessories] devnulldroid:
Sweet.. didnt know there was anything like this. Thanks for sharing info.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mroneeyedboh:
most def. report back bro
[EVO 4G Accessories] nuggyunlimited:
Does it only charge 1500mah
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
I didn't buy it. I was just checking it out. I was kinda hoping someone here would have it and report their experience with it. If anyone has one of these please report on it, because if the Evo will fit with an extended case and if it will charge a 3500mah battery I will definitely buy it.

Looks like in the pictures it might only charge 1500mah. It would be nice if it charge extended batteries too. Maybe someone will chime in on this that has something similar to charge extendeds with and fits the Evo with an extended battery cover on it.

I am going to email the seller about whether or not it will charge bigger batteries. I'll report back when I get a reply.

here is one with better pictures of the first charger.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-Charger...655316?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item41535fb494

but yeah I dont think the first OP's charge dock will support the extended battery. It goes up too high on the back .
[EVO 4G Accessories] JimSmith94:
I bought this cradle and am disappointed in it. The phone only charges through USB, so it does me no good when I turn my computer off at night.

Also, the USB connection itself is funky, which might just be a problem with my unit. I don't think I've ever gotten HTC Sync to connect through the cradle. Charging and disk drive mode work, but to sync, I have to plug the cable directly into the phone.

I hate that I blew $20 on it, but am about to pull the trigger on the other one mentioned anyway, and hope that it really does charge both with both cables. I had one cradle that bled AC back through the USB cable which kept my fans and keyboard lights on, so I had to unplug the AC at night.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mroneeyedboh:
you biought the dock in the OP?
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
Thanks for letting us know. I guess it is a good idea, just some design flaws. I am seriously thinking about getting the other one posted in this thread. It looks like it might do what I was hoping the one in the OP did.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lacrossev:
I've got this one and before anyone jumps on it, know that unlike some of the other similar looking cradles that charges both the phone and the battery from one power source, this one has the battery charger and the phone charger on seperate circuits, so you need to plug one in to the wall and...well the other one also in to the wall the cable that goes in to the mini usb in the back goes to the phone and the one thats built in goes to the wall
[EVO 4G Accessories] JimSmith94:
Yes, that's the one.

I just ordered this one because deolarte suggested that it would charge the phone and the battery from either AC or USB. Are you saying that yours doesn't?
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
Just to let you guys know I got an email back from the seller of the one I originally posted. I asked them if it charged extended batteries and if the phone would fit in it with an extended battery cover on it. Here is their reply:

Looks like this one is only good if you are using 1500mAh. Sorry guys I thought it looked nice and probably is if you don't use extended batteries, which are pretty much a must with the Evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mroneeyedboh:
Damn Ohwell. Thanks for checking as an extended battery is in my near future.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lacrossev:
That is correct, the ebay one, unless its a totally different one internally but looks the same on the outside, does NOT charge both from one source, each requires their own power
[EVO 4G Accessories] JimSmith94:
Well that bites the big one! :mad: All of my cradles dating back to the HTC Apache charged both with either cable. The only problem I had with a couple was voltage bleed through from the AC to the USB, as I stated earlier. It's such a simple circuit, why did they stop using it?!?

Now I'll be stuck with two cradles and still have no way to charge my phone when I turn my computer off, unless I plug into the AC charger directly.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
Hello all

i´ve a problem with my Tab.

For 2 Weeks i unlocked my Tab via ADB.

Today i gave a another Simcard and than my older.

Since that, my Tab don´t recognize any Simcard.

When i am booting says me "No Service" and after a minute "no Simcard"

But everytime when i give the simcard in or out the tab it reboots (thats normal).

i dont no what i´m do :(

The Tab is a Euro tab w/ Root and unlocked.

Everyone a Answer !?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
Its sounds like the SIM card is not compatible. I know of one person who tried to use a SIM from Iraq but it would not work. Can you try another SIM card?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
i tried that with 4 Sim Cards.

The problem is that the Simcard was working for 2 Weeks, but since 2 hours it work nothing. :(

i tried a hard reset. But to no effect.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
I googled the symptom and found that sometimes the contacts just dont press on the card firmly. The solution was to cut a piece of business card and slide that in on top of the SIM card, to make it press against the contacts better.

Another result I found was that someone had their IMEI number blocked. Perhaps when you unlocked your Tab you erased or messed up your nv_data.bin file. In settings/about, does you IMEI number start with the digits 004 ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
I tryed that with the contacs, but that´s the same.

i unlocked the TAB with your tutorial

"How to carrier/SIM unlock the Galaxy Tab [Updated Dec 5 2010]"

My IMEI its the same, thats on the back cover

:(

i dont know what i am to do
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
Very good, I'm glad your IMEI is ok. I don't have any other ideas at the moment, perhaps someone else will.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
One more thing to check. In settings/wireless/mobile networks/network operators, try manually selecting your carrier. It may not be switching automatically.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
IS that normal, that the Serial Number is Empty !?

My IMEI stands there, but not my Serial Number !?!?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:

it´s disabled to click on that
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
Thats not normal. Perhaps its time you restore your nv_data.bin file from your backup copy and get back to the starting point.

i used the second method with the script

Yes i got a nv_data.bin.orig but i unlocked the tab for a second time for 15 mins.

And the problems are from this morning.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
ok, please, do not delete the nv_data.bin.orig file. Can you find the date that file was made using a filemanager? If its 2 weeks old, then that file is perfect.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
Thats perfect :D

the file is 2 Weeks old.

From the first unlocking

and how can i use the file ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
Ok, first of all, thank me for backing up your file for you :)

Do you have Root Explorer on your Tab? If not, Ill have to create a list of adb commands for you.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
Thank you !! :)

whitout you i am lost :)

i dont have Root Explorer.

Can you create me a list of adb commands ?

Thanks Twice :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:

cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin.orig /efs/nv_data.bin
reboot

But i have still the problem with the sim card :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
Very good. Now, it appears I have the same exact problem with one of my Tabs. It will not reboot when I insert a SIM card.

Please wait while I fix this, don't flash or do anything! After I fix mine, I will tell you how to fix yours.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
it says that no sim card is in there, but every time wenn i insert a sim card the tab reboot´s
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
Ok, your problem is slightly different that mine, but similar enough that the fix may be the same.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
whats the problem on your tab !?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
It does not detect my SIM, I have no signal, no access to wireless networks in settings.

Edit: I just remembers I deleted the contents of my /efs directory while testing something. I'll restore that from a backup now.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patiient:
When i am flashing the OS, the contents of the efs folder comes back or !?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
Normally nothing ever touches the /efs folder. I fixed my problem, I restored my /efs from a backup and I had to flash a good modem.bin, I'm not sure what I flashed last but it was no good.

Do you recall if you flashed any modem.bin files?
