Well i am using Glitterball's latest kernel before Firebird. Or the stock kernel that came with the Doc's Captivate Rom 7.0

Either way, there has been a huge drop in battery life and I do not think it is kernel related, because on the Assonance 5.0 rom, i was running Setiron's 1.4.7 kernel with the exact same problems with battery life :'(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cozmo1:
This is highly dependent on how you have your settings on your phone.

1) Wi-Fi constantly looking for an active network connection? At least have it go to sleep when the phone goes on standby. I only turn mine on at home or otherwise need and have access to it. Otherwise its off.

2) GPS running all the time? Personally, I rarely ever need to use it, but it runs great when I do.

3) Display at recommended brightness or higher? Recommended or less is best as far as saving battery power. I like mine all the way down. Don't need/want it any brighter.

I even tend to use only darker wallpapers as bright and lighter colors pull more power on AMOLED screens. This makes a little bit of difference. How much I don't know, but I do know that it does. Sometimes the above settings like to change on you. It's a good idea to check 'em once in a while.

While it's usually always around 60% full when I go to bed, I still charge my cell every night.

I have found that the speedmod kernel is real good for conserving battery power. Not downing other kernels as they're all real good. Speedmod handles battery consumption better in my experience.

Have you installed any new software that might be accessing the network checking for updates/feeds, etc?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
1)I always had my Wifi sleep policy on never. So its not what is affecting the battery life

2) Never have GPS on unless i need it. Heck, when i need it, it never works.

3) nothing that i didnt have before.

Basically, I haven't changed anything to cause the decrease in battery life.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cozmo1:
Your two biggest drains on battery are WiFi (especially when consistently seeking - any new access points where you leave it on standby all day?) and your display. Could it be your battery? Sure. Go exchange it at AT&T. They shouldn't have a problem exchanging it for you :)

Sent using XDA app on a modified Assonance 5.2 ROM
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
Well the thing is. I have never had this battery life with my Wifi settings left untouched. So yeah, i will probably get a new battery from AT&T tomorrow and report back if it was the battery or not :]

Aloha All!

First, thanks to all y'all for all the helpful posts on making the Nook Color the best Android tablet it can be!

I want to use my nootered NC to browse mobile.nytimes.com. After setting NC's built-in browser to mobile (vs desktop), I can browse the site with no problems.

Thing is, the built-in browser does not support tabbed browsing, which I can't go without. So I tried installed Dolphin HD, but try as I might, I can't get it to stop redirecting from mobile.nytimes.com to the full version (replace "mobile" with "www"). Even if I change the Dolphin HD's User Agent to Android/iPhone/Ipad, it still redirects. (And yes, I tried Desktop user agent too.)

I also tried Miren Browser -- no luck there either.

So, can anyone recommend a decent tabbed browser for a nootered NC that won't redirect mobile.nytimes.com?

Alternatively, any magic setting in the NC or Dolphin HD to stop the redirect?

Mahalo,

-Dave
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
You can just use Opera Mobile, type the mobile address, and it'll take you there.

Dolphin HD won't change user agents correctly on firmware 1.0.1. They all work except Android if you're on 1.0.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] javolin13:
After having the HD2 since its very first drop with TMOUS, I have watched this phones abilities grow, and grow. I'm amazed at how much a simple little device is able to acomplish!

There is no other phone on the market that is able to do what this phone can, from running WM, Ubuntu, Android (rom,ram, and nand), and now having its own recovery and being able to flash via .zip!?

I'm a completely proud owner of the HD2, and it is the #1 phone on the market, from processor, screen size, ram, rom size (tmous), even if you bought any other phone with any of these same features, its almost impossible to beat it.

I've seen the galaxy series (including the Nexus S) and the MT4G, and G2, Desire HD, and no matter what, even with the little enhancements that those phones have over the HD2, OVERALL the hd2 wins.

This isn't a rage, or a vent, im just sharing my excitement of this phone and how pleased I am with all the devs, cooks, and just anyone who had to do with making this phone so capable.

its crazy how many devs, cooks have moved to the HD2 and it continues to grow!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] psykick5:
So true, I hate recommending other phones to some of my family members, even though the Nexus S and such are good, I feel like they are getting ripped off by buying a phone that isn't the HD2. Then again, they aren't as tech savvy, so it might be overwhelming for them...

Anyway, yeah.

HD2>all

The only thing I wish my phone had is a FFC. (front-facing camera)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] karendar:
I fully agree. I've never owned a phone I loved playing with as much as the HD2! I've tried every ROM combo, got frustrated with a few glitches here and there that were quickly fixed by the amazing devs this forum has. My first android experience was with an Xperia X10, then an HTC Desire and now the HD2... Even the desire didn't come close to what I've been doing with my HD2. Granted it was more stable in some instances, but the FUN I've been having with this phone...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
Count the HD7 in as a successor to the HD2, for running all the sweet OSs. Even though the card slot is more difficult to get to, it is possible and will run Android and other ROMs just as good as the super hero of phones, the HD2.

I'm on Darkyy's v8.0 ROM and without a SIM card. Since I'm without a SIM card the phones time without signal is 100%. My phones standy by time is also equal to the up time of the phone. Is this normal...? My battery is draining unusually fast. I've checked OSmonitor and I get LOTS of errors, but I'm not sure what causes them.

Not sure about other non battery errors:

As for the Battery problem on v8.0

You can either upgrade to V9.1 and/or try the following which is found in their website

(Search for Darky ROM Calibrate Battery)

Calibrating Battery with Darky's ROM:

1. Use your phone until the phone switches itself off (battery empty)

2. Switch on once more to make sure battery really is 0% (it will then immediately switch off once more)

3. Now, keep switched off (!), plug in charger & leave in charging until 100%

4. When battery is full, switch the phone on, unplug & check if the batter immediately drops 1 or 2 %

5. If battery immediately drops, plug in charger once more (while running phone) & let it charge completely

6. Once charging to 100% is done, keep charger plugged in & Reboot into Recovery Mode

7. in Recovery Mode go to: advanced --> Wipe Battery Stats --> Yes-Wipe Battery Stats

8. When done: Go To --> reboot system now

9. Once system has rebooted, unplug charger

Ok after a Odin back to stock, I decided to load up the newest version of the Axura Rom, without any themes just .7 and upon booting I received 2 forced closed error messages. One was the gingerbread keyboard and the other was com.android which kept disabling wireless and enabling airplane mode repeatedly.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] joeyklatzko:
That is a CW 3 Recovery for Gingerbread. ROM Manager hasn't been updated so even if you have the correct recovery, ROM manager will still say 2.5.x.x

Reboot into recovery to see if it actually worked. The text will be yellow in 3.x.x.x or blue in 2.5.x.x

If you use terminal emulator it will give you a blank line after you flash_image.

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nyctrini3:
Flashing through terminal works

Dwnld file from op it should already say recovery.img

move it to the root of your SD I use Linda file. Next open emulator

type :su then hit enter

type : flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Type: enter

you will see absolutely nothing

that's ok just type

reboot recovery if you see cwm in yellow or gold honeycomb color

you're done if not keep trying

That's what I did
[myTouch 4G Android Development] joeyklatzko:
Sounds like the file isn't where you're telling it. Make sure the recovery you downloaded is named exactly recovery.img if you are writing:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

flash_image not found.

what is wrong??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JPongco:
flash_image: not found

I'm really not sure what's going on with the emulator but it seems like this command is not part of the script for some reason...

I tried the same commands through adb shell and got the same response "flash_image: not found"

the adb method isn't exactly working out for me although I am persistent. I'm typing the command line EXACTLY and getting this response in the emulator, that's for sure.

Okay i got my clockwork flashed via rom manager but I get a black screen when I select any option even reboot can someone help

Edit. i thought you had to use power to select on clockwork it turned out to be i had to use the trackpad one
[myTouch 4G Android Development] borodin1:
Exactly what it says, flash_image is not in /system/bin

Download CM6, unzip it, pull flash_image binary out of it and push it to your rom. It will work then. This has nothing to do with correct recovery image being on sd or not.

Furthermore, this is important! OP, please make sure to specify that your download link is to GB-based recovery image. I rooted my MT4G replacement yesterday and I needed a raw recovery image so I pulled the one out of your post... needless to say it did not work with CM6 and I was too thrilled with "good" screen to notice which build recovery I just flashed. Also, you might want to say that flash_image binary has to be present for your terminal emulator guide to work.

Otherwise, thanks for posting this, should save many people from getting a headache.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cbeezy34:
Im having the same flash_image not found issue in the emulator....but Ive done pretty much everything download the cm, flashed clockwork thru rom manager and it flashed just fine, but I cant get into CW recovery when I reboot.

Stuck on Bootloader

So I went to flash this cw 3.0.0.1 so I could try running CM7 the first time I followed every step of flashing and got no result so I tried again and after rebooting it took me to the bootloader screen, pressing Factory Reset takes me to the Hboot and pressing Recovery takes me to Fastboot the rom I am currently running CM 6 will not go past the Splash screen now and if I touch where the unlock and sound buttons are I still feel the vibration like its running behind the splash screen my computer says i need to trouble shoot when my phone is in bootloader or while on the splash screen, is there any possible way to fix this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] borodin1:
Did you forget to root before attempting this? You still have stock recovery on your phone (as in Stock, not even CW2.5)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] borodin1:
Did you read at all? All you needed to do is push 1 binary into /system/bin and you would be good to go... instead you chose to completely reflash the rom (wipe and everythig i bet)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] borodin1:
You need to fastboot correct recovery and re-flash you rom. If you don't know how to use fastboot - go learn... no excuse at this point.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Maybe I'm just being anal, but if you're going to call people 'noobs', at least read over what you're writing.

Your instructions are good, but you spelled 'Recovery'(rocovery) and 'Resources'(recorses) wrong. Most phones that use auto-correct would have picked this up, and the forum would underline them as misspelled words as well. I'm not a teacher by profession, but why not put in the extra 5% and make the forum look nice?

Edit: let me also point out that I'm not trying to be rude, but in the last year there has been floods of posts with atrocious spelling, poor grammar, and little to know punctuation. Look at it this way. If you spell recovery wrong in the thread title, how are people supposed to search for your post?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cbeezy34:
Yes I have follwed the the root guides, and I have rooted the phone. and the root removes the stock recovery? the stock will block cw?

how to:

Hey guys I see a lot of people are having the same problem i was having, so i thought i would help. As stated before, when you type in the flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img and you get the error flash_image not found it is because in some roms the actual file named flash_image thats executes that command is not in the /system/lib folder so i will tell you how to easily get it to work and this is EXACTLY what I just did a few hours ago.

1) Download the CM7 rom (you obviously were going to anyway)

2) Use Root/Linda/Astro file manager to get into the CM7 .zip file and go to /system/bin and look for the file "flash_image"

3) COPY the flash_image file (in Root explorer you will have to click extract the file first and copy it from /sdcard/extracted) and paste the file into /system/bin on YOUR PHONE not back into the rom but in the system folder on your phone.

4) Place recovery.img file on /sdcard (not in any folder just on the root directory)

5) Open Terminal Emulator and type su (be sure to allow superuser permissions if this is your first try then restart the terminal app and type in su again)

6) You should be prompted with this # and not this $ anymore and type this: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img then it should be blank for a second and return to the # prompt

7) Type in reboot recovery make sure you are in recovery V3 which looks kinda yellow and it will say the version number at the top. Now you can flash CM7! :eek:

Edit: sorry I made a typo....I was writing fastboot_flash instead of flash_image

Edit2: /system/bin...everything should be good now
