[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Ok so I know I've posted about my battery before but I still can't get any relief.. I'm running JT .9 and geekniks 12/19 kernel.. the past two nights my battery drained 30% over an 8 hour period, with no one touching it! During both these nights I turned off Auto-Sync, and yes GPS and WIFI are both off..

Just now I had my phone charging and it was at 47%.. I rebooted my phone (just my normal procedure about once a day) and when it came back up a few seconds later it was at 69%!!! What gives?!?! Anyone have any ideas??

I have tried re calibrating the battery by deleting the battery stats method.. I tried calling verizon to get the battery replaced but was told that my battery is acting normal.. ive tried different kernels with no noticiable difference.. if i take my phone off the charger at 100% and send just a few text messages it will be down to 95% within minutes.. im at a loss.. I'll post pics of my battery use screen in a bit but throughout the night i only went 1% without a signal.
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Maybe try *228 Option 2 ..... ??

I had a bout of some wicked battery drain and it was because I needed to update my roaming.....
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
I've tried that too.. question about that though.. I live about 30 miles from where I work.. should I update my roaming where I live or where I work or does that even matter?

Thanks for the response!
[Fascinate General] papstar:
I have the exact same problem. Battery will drain for no apparent reason. I even bought a brand new battery, with still no luck. When I reboot the phone, as you said, something it will jump up 20%. I finally got fed up charging 4 times a day and ordered a refurbished phone. I'll let you know how that one works out.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Please do.. Verizon give you the phone or did you just pay out of pocket?
[Fascinate General] NOsquid:
Turn your 3G off overnight if you're not on the charger.

Wipe batt stats in CWM/advanced, charge until you get the full battery popup
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
I've tried wiping battery stats in CWM.. not sure how to turn off 3g.. Juice defender did it when I ran that but I didnt see an improvement and I didnt like the fact that it turned off 3g everytime my screen was off because then I don't get push on my emails.
[Fascinate General] NOsquid:
Juice Defender has an on/off widget for 3G
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
although Juice Defender turns off your 3g when the screen is off, it also turns on your 3g for 1 minute every 15 minutes, so push notifications will be seen every 15 minutes (which I find totally acceptable to dramatically raise my battery life)

Just an fyi in case you didn't know.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
yeah i was aware of that but i also didnt notice my battery life improve enough to use it.. if i would have noticed a dramatic improve i would have kept it.
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
At first I didn't notice an increase either, but after a day or 2. I get over 50% battery now
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
I just started charing my phone again.. it was at 70%.. i rebooted my phone and it jumped 14% to 84%... is it possible that the battery meter is just not accurate and when I reboot my phone it recalibrates everything and displays a true reading?
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
I can't remember where I read it, but I read that the phone doesn't portray an accurate reading. . If you charge to a hundred percent, the phone reduces the amount of power coming in but still shows full till removed from the charger, then it drops fast. Supposedly once it gets down to a certain percentage it starts charging again in bursts. This could explain why rebooting changes your percentage since the OS is showing the inaccurate reading.

I don't know if this is true or not, just something I read.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
There's an excellent explanation of this here on xda. The thread is called "Your battery gauge is lying to you (and why that's not such a bad thing)" & I wish I could remember who wrote it so I could give him credit.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
I called VZW's Customer Service and told them about my issues and they sent me a refurbished one. Just got it today, and so far, I'm having the exact same issues.
[Fascinate General] ShadowDrake:
I am only here because a friend of mine is looking to get a Fascinate and I was doing some research for him.

I have an Evo, and I gotta say, you only lost 30% in 8 hours? Lucky you! The Evo, when it first came out would only last about 8 hours off the charger from a full charge, without touching it. The state of things now is a lot better. I can go 16 hours off the charger and still have 70-50% battery left depending on how much I used it.

The biggest changes have been custom undervolted kernels with HAVS, CPU underclocking with screen off, and "SBC" which probably just stands for super battery charge.

The SBC kernels for the Evo fix the issue of the battery dropping to about 87% minutes after taking it off the charger. It changes the charging behavior after full charge, maintains a trickle charge to hold battery voltage at 4.2v instead of burst charging intermittently once "full"

You guys might want to have your kernel developers look over here and probably see if some secrets can be passed along:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876590

There's a neverending cornucopia of battery improvements over in the Evo forum and I'd suggest you guys go make a search over there for "battery" because tons of the same fixes are going to apply here. Good luck :)
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
I had a lot of similiar issues with battery life, and I found different kernels and roms have a huge effect on the battery:

Every StupidFast kernel I tried would *significantly* increase battery drain over stock. I'm talking 4-5% per hour overnight with the phone idle and not being touched or doing anything whatsoever - no GPS, no Bluetooth, no WiFi, no apps running, just sitting there.

Every BlackHole ROM I tried would do pretty much the same, although not quite as drastic.

JT's SuperClean was consistently very good on the battery.

On DI01, I was using SuperClean .4 on the stock kernel and getting a solid 24 hours on a charge. With DJ05, there is no stock kernel, and I had issues with SuperClean and signal strength, so I'm using the 12/12 kernel with the stock rom (debloated) and I'm getting 72 hours on a charge with conservative use and easily 48 hours with moderate use.

If you're using StupidFast, I'd suggest flashing one of JT's kernels or stock (if you're still on DI01) and see what difference it makes.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
I finally am getting decent battery life.. I did a clean wipe and installed black hole 2.4 with jt's 11/29 kernel and have noticed a great improvement! Only problem is I get the audio popping with this kernel :( but I'll live with that as long as my battery is better.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
So I've gotten my second refurbished fascinate from Verizon, and my battery life is still atrocious. However, how much does signal strength affect battery life? I get a dismal signal at my house, where my battery seems to drain like crazy. Can anyone confirm the relation?
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
They are directly related. If your phone if constantly trying to find a signal then this will drain your battery. Are you rooted, or totally stock?
[Fascinate General] papstar:
I'm rooted, CWM installed but currently on stock rom and kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] humanbn:
I have some weird error with my phone. The battery status says unknown. I cannot charge the phone with it in this state, while the phone is on. In order to do so, I must turn off phone, take out battery, wait 5 - 10 minutes, replace battery, then plug in the phone. Because I have clockwork on a MyTouch 4g, it boots into recovery, so I've had to go back to stock recovery to get the phone to stay off so I can charge it.

I am wondering if there is a way to run a script to "convince" my phone the battery status is okay, and let it charge.

I can manually run the script again to tell it to stop charging, ignoring the battery life variables.

Any ideas would be great, and where to edit the Javascript, maybe even some sample code. :-)

I have a MyTouch 4g running Iced Glacier.
[General Questions and Answers] CBConsultation:
You might have better results if you post this in the actual myTouch 4G [Glacier] Q&A forum. As I have no idea how to answer I would simply suggest asking in the right place for better results.

Does anyone know of any apps that can resize widgets excluding launcher pro paid version? I'm trying to complete an android7 homescreen without buying the paid version - I flash roms too often to re-download and mess with possibly re-purchasing an app.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Purchased apps follow your g mail account I think so if your using the same account you shouldn't have a problem. I'm not sure about any other apps that do that but if they exist they are probably paid apps as well

to everyone that want to change their sprint banner & cant or dont want to get CDMA Workshop (due to viruses in every file you can find on the net)

i copied this post from another post that i saw while trying to change my sprint banner & got to this method witch is preaty damn easy ;-)

takes less then 5 min . ** MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DONT MESS WITH OTHER THINGS IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING **

it can BRICK your phone & i will not be held Responsible to any damage you may cause while preforming this task .

I did NOT write this walk-through & again will NOT be responsible for any damages to your phone .

here are the instructions :

1. Install HTC Sync if you haven't already.

2. Download MSL Reader from the market, Run it and save the code for step 8

3. Download QPST:

http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/fla...pst/12051.html

4. Install QPST software

5. Put phone into Diag mode: dial ##diag# = ##3424#

6. Start QPST service programming. If your phone is in diag mode you will see it listed here.

7. Click Read from phone

8. Enter your SPC number (the one obtained from step number 2)

9. Click the Display tab.

10. Change the banner to what you want.

11. Write to phone. (You may see some Read Only Errors. This is normal)

12. Reboot phone and you will see the new banner.

Should you encounter issues like the phone not showing up in QPST then more then likely

the modem drivers are using a port that QPST does not have as default and you will need to add

the port to QPST. When adding the port to QPST make sure you un-check "Show Serial and

USB/QA Diagnostic ports only" or this will not work.‎

I know there are already other threads out there that offer ways to change the sprint banner.

I wanted to also offer these set of instructions to the community as I get questions about it all the time.

Here is the way I have done it in the past. It does not require HACKED software so this method is fairly safe.

As always do a nand back up before going threw these instructions

and I can not be held responsible if you brick your phone.

when you plug evo to pc select CHARGE ONLY- then dial ##3424#

then run qpst service programming, read from phone (enter MSL) then, 1st click save so that you have a backup from before you change anything, then change banner text- and save again.

Make sure you have the htc diag driver installed (it won't hurt anything, it just wont connect to qpst", through device manager you might need to go to "Browse my computer for driver software" - Then- "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"-Then "Show all devices" then "Have disk" Then navigate to your folder where you have htcDiag drivers and install that way

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DrRyder:
It's irrelevant to ask if anyone uses them. What is relevant is that you need to add a warning on there that for those that DO use them, they will no longer work after applying this modification. Think outside of what you use.

Oh yeah. Good call, bud. Just remember how stupid some people here are that won't check the thread that's linked in the OP. Also remember that I did mention it once before to put a warning in the OP just like I had asked Slayer to do for the stupid ones who don't know that doing something like this will break those apps. I, for one, would rather see people NOT posting in the thread saying, "I herped and derped and now my Nascar and Football doesn't work. What do?"

Keep your dumbass opinions to yourself, you're just going to amuse me. Nothing more. If you don't want me "attacking" people's threads after already asking nicely, then tell the OP he's a moron, add the warning like he was asked and move on. It's simple.

[Droid X General] Jrob2k:
i love the Droid X, but freaking hate the phonebook. it truley is the worse contact list i've used. is there anyway to flash the stock android phonebook onto the phone?

if not, does anyone know how to limit what contacts are displayed? i dont want everyone ive ever emailed to show up in my contacts list. i've tried changing the displayed contacts to my phone contacts, or gmail contacts, but whenever i leave it for a bit it just resets and shows me hundreds of stupid emails.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
I had a similar issue, have had my DX about 6 weeks and found some useful articles on the subject. I think (and only my recollection, could be wrong on this) what I ended up doing was un-syncing EVERYTHING in terms of email accounts and contacts (via My Accounts) and ended up ONLY syncing my gmail contacts.

This was done after finding a nifty Facebook Profile Pic sync to Gmail thing-uh-majig. If you sync contacts, preferrably you limit what you sync because as you said, it goes WAY overboard. It sounds like you sync'd corporate (work) email and contact which is a BIG no-no.
[Droid X General] gskellig:
Once I started using roms all my contacts issues went away. Almost all the roms have the normal stock android contacts app. Some can even use WyContacts (the CM contacts app).

Edit: @DNak206, hey I'm from seattle too! My droid X is the one verizon gave away during their @droidlanding promotion thing in Seattle.
[Droid X General] greate:
Yup dc seem to mic all the contacts but if you hate to look because everything seems mixed up ( facebook contact, phone contact and so on ) you can alway preds menu and select a display group.

The way I manage my contact is I have fixed and organize every thing on my gmail thnen I sync my droid.

The eay I use my contact is I dont go yo the contacts shortcut. I always go to the phone shortcut the select favorites since the droid is keeping a record of all of the contact that iI usually use and it has pwen put in order. I also use the defaul universal inbox to send email. I hit compost and start typing names and email and the droid gives a suggestion and I just select one from there.

[Droid X General] DNak206:
NICE! I have lived in Seattle awhile, I guess you could say I'm immune to the weather. :P

While we're on the topic of contacts though, has anyone noticed the default text messaging/SMS will populate ALL the phone numbers for contacts as opposed to identifying the "mobile" listed # for a contact?

For example, if I'm trying to send a text to Jon Smith. I'll compose new message, start typing "smi" in the :TO line and Jon will pop up in the selectable options (or scrollable rather?). The problem is, I have to swipe or scroll through his work, home, and then finally select his mobile number.

Maybe Windows had one thing over Android because neither my TP1 or TP2 would ever list a work or home # when composing a new text, it was actually smart enough to recognize the mobile # in terms of priority. Anyone else found a fix for this, maybe a text app (like handscent or whatever) will resolve?
[Droid X General] gskellig:
Handcent or chompSMS might do the trick. When calling someone I know theres an option to remember the number you dialed, not sure about when texting..
[Droid X General] greate:
If you always send msg or call john he will be under your favorites list. I always go thru the favoritw list and click the call icon on the side of the name to make a call or i click the name then clic the mail icon to send sms.
