[EVO Shift 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I just got the extended battery and haven't charged it overnight yet, but so fast I am very concerned that it is not living up to expectations. However I won't make any quick judgments until I've seen how it does over a couple days.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Zardos66:
My Hero got better battery life.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bcellis:
Typical use for me is pulling the phone off the charger at 5am, light to moderate use throughout the day (texting, facebook/twitter, apps updating ~2-4 hours, etc) and then putting back on the charger at 9pm.

I upgraded from the Hero. The Hero was rooted and running AOSP w/ modified kernel and collin's battery tweak. Battery life was impressive, but performance was an issue. I could routinely get 30+ hours battery life with the type of use listed above (battery was usually 50% or more when I'd put it back on the charger).

With the Shift, battery life is surprisingly good. For some reason I lose ~10% within the first hour, but after that, it seems to settle down and by the end of the day I'm still at ~30% (with the type of use listed above).

Based on what was possible with the custom ROM's and kernel tweaks for the Hero, I'm excited to see what the community can do with the Shift once we get root.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
That first 10% drop seems normal for the new HTC phones. I know the Evo does the same thing. Just the way they're charging the batteries
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
I found this article helpful in understanding the ~10% dropoff when first off the charger.
[EVO Shift 4G General] dylansylvester:
At what setting do you all have your screen brightness set? Do you use the auto-brightness option. I find consistently that the overwhelming majority of battery use (according to that screen in the settings) is from the display.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
I have mine set at 20% and it still looks bright to me.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Zardos66:
I just had another prl update last night and my battery life is a lot better today.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
Battery has been pretty good for me so far today:

~7 hrs unplugged

1.5 hrs screen on (according to Battery Stats)

Sitting at 67%. I was using the internet for at least 45 minutes and then spent 15 mins playing Angry Birds, as well as running 10-15 4G SpeedTest runs.

I'm pretty happy so far with the battery esp. since this is stock.
[EVO Shift 4G General] fifedogg:
Battery life has been getting better and better for me. Check screen shots. I dont get good service at work but still have been able to get 18 hours and 52% battery left :) I've been listening to howard stern on my phone for a few hours too.

Wow uploading pics from the XDA App really sux... I'll update the pics later.

Awful battery life

Hello, I have had my phone since Saturday, and I don't think I have gotten more than 6-7 hours of standby yet. I pulled it off the charger this morning at 8, and by 2pm I was already down to 18%. I wasn't using it that much, maybe ~30 minutes of listening on winamp between classes and that's it. I get pretty decent reception everywhere and I don't have wifi or 4G on.

Any last suggestions before I take it back to Radioshack and exchange it for another one on account of a defective battery?
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
install spare parts and check out partial wake lock usage.

do you have twitter/facebook updating frequently? Can you provide a little more information so perhaps we can help trace the issue...
[EVO Shift 4G General] veidt_industries:
Thank you.

I have spare parts installed, and partial wake time is tied between winamp and android system. Under battery history (in spare parts), running is 43%, while screen is only 14.4%. I don't have facebook or twitter accounts linked.

I had to shut it off earlier today to conserve battery life, but the battery history lists uptime as 2:16:48, while awake time is 1:30:28. This suggests that something is constantly waking up. But the Android battery history lists winamp as only 2%, so I don't think that is what's waking it up all the time. Here, screen is listed as 77%.

Every thing seems about the same percentage wise as my old HTC Magic. I do suspect that the screen is turning on while it's in my pocket, because sometimes it gets warm.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
Do you have Wireless sync on in WinAmp settings? I know on my Heroc, it would cause winamp to run in the bg and such. Worth a shot...

I'm getting pretty good life. My system seems to actually sleep with the screen off...
[EVO Shift 4G General] veidt_industries:
Why yes I do. I set that up first thing when I got the phone. I'll give that a try, thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
I only turn it on when I am syncing my music. Hope it helps!!

I'm Shifting on 4G.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
battery life is great for me. I average between 15-20 hours and that's with heavy usage. And no, I don't use any type of task killer. You shouldn't either...

Make sure you sync only the ones you use most. Either have it sync every 4-6 hours or do it manually.

4G: off

WIFI: off (when not in use)

Bluetooth: off (when not in use)

GPS off (when not in use)

Brightness: Auto

Mobile Network: On (tip: you could always turn off mobile network to save even more battery life. You will still get phone calls, SMS (no MMS), especially in places where you don't get good signals)
[EVO Shift 4G General] cachorropedorro:
I use my phone a lot throughout the entire day. I surf a lot, check facebook a lot, check my email every 30 minutes, text a ton and I played Gun Bros a little bit. I'm at 45% battery life right now. I charged it to 97%.

Voice calls 54% 1h 12m 39s

Display 26% Time on 1h 9m 19s

Maps 11% CPU total 1m 10s CPU foreground 40s GPS 15m 58s Data sent 87.16KB Data received 466.82 KB

Cell Standby 4% Time on 8h 37m 8s Time without signal 2%

Phone idle 3%

Android System 2%

I had bluetooth on the entire time and 4g as well. I might get better battery life if I turn off 4g when I'm not using it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] silex:
Is everybody on auto-brightness still? After doing a hard reset with Profile+PRL updates everything is fine and dandy with the battery life now! She's a keeper!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raar99:
Hello,

I'm running Android(JDMS 1.6.2) on my HD2. I'm really happy about how it feels and works. There is 1 problem i really like to get fixed. My Internet is really slow.

I read something about a radio i need to change because it does't work that well with the one that's installed on my phone right now(Is this true?). I need get this radio on my hd2 using hspl2. Problem is that when i try to install hspl2 i get an error about having a wrong spl(3.something). How do i get the good SPL on my phone?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Yeah, the radio version can influence the internet connection.

Witch radio version do you have for the moment?

And about your problem about SPL/HSPL; with is your spl version from the moment?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raar99:
How can i check what radio version i have?

I have spl 3.08 i think. Try to do this a week ago. Did't get it right so i gave up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
I guess you mean spl 3.03.0000 (the one who is integrated into stock ROM 3.14!)?

In case you have install/use the stock ROM 3.14 you have spl version 3.03, and radio 2.15.50.

Don't look for installing the HSPL; HSPL and spl 3.03 isn't compatible.

But to be honestly, radio 2.15.50 oz the latest one (I also use it without connection problems.)

If you would like to know (for sure) witch spl version you have you need to set your device into the bootlouder screen. Shutdown your device > Hold volume down button press > press power button. You will get a 4 color screen = Bootlouder]

But back on your connection problem; did you try a other Kernel version?

Or try a other Android build.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raar99:
You're right. Just checked it in windows.

I feel really stupid everytime i ask you how to do it. But how do i change te kernel?

I tried several builds and this is the only one which has this problem. It's too bad because i really like this one. Do you know a nice build that runs smooth?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Changing the kernel? Just download it and replace it with the one you have on your SD

Hmm, I don't have much experience with Android; but my favorite is this one: >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859817

Take a look, try and if it isn't what you are looking for, take a other one. ;)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Your trying to flash Amon Ra's recovery for 32B devices, which is Amon Ra -G. You need Amon Ra -H for your phone or you could just use ClockworkMod. I'm assuming you've already achieved root. Does it tell you you need to root your phone when you open ROM Manager?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradatz:
R2's rom is great but I think I speak for many users that are frustrated with the lack of updates with OMGB. Maybe it would be possible for someone to get R2's rom and update it with some CM7 fixes and other things. Is this to daunting of a task or why hasn't someone else taken up this Rom???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igknighted:
What's wrong w/ CM7 itself? I don't think there's anything major left not working on the recent (>= 28) builds.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
He's done with omgb he's gonna make omfgb next. It works well enough for most people. There isn't really much that can be improved.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fortesquieu:
What's not working on OMGB? Camcorder at 720p?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
i am beyond confused. have you even tried CM7 before posting your request???? Everything there works now and its stock (no theming) with a few enhancements (because thankfully slayher, cyanogen and team are very smart). This is probably beyond insulting to all the devs working extremely hard on developing GB for our incs. If you believe it is easy for devs to whip out roms, please either contribute to the process or contribute donations.

I hate to be traffic police (because most people who do so are pompous numnuts IMHO) but this thread does not belong in dev section by any stretch of the imagination. Its just a request, nothing more.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradatz:
compare cm7 vs. OMGB

There are so many fixes on there that aren't applied to OMGB.

I don't like cm7 because it feels like a could use a vanilla 2.2 rom add a custom launcher and it would be pretty similar. Just not a fan of customizations.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
brad, please test out the functionality and speed of CM7. GB does add significant things. I am a tinkerer so I know why I cant go back to 2.2 anymore. There are enough functionality enhancements. And I dont understand, what customizations??? I have flashed 11 CM7 builds - trust me until you are a crackflasher, you will never delve deep enough to really use the power of GB.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskmk:
I understand where the OP is coming from. My guess is you would have to wait for OMGB to develop and catch up with CM7 in terms of bug fixing.

I too wanted a "stock" GB rom.. but CM7 brought it close for me after I installed stock gingerbread launcher that someone ripped and posted on the market.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2DoesInc:
What kind of "bugs" are you referring to?

I know this issue has been posted before but there have been no fixes. So...

All my start menu icons have disappeared. I noticed this today but could have happened a few days ago. I'm using BSB Tweaks, and have reversed all settings that were changed but still no luck (after several soft resets).

The icons and files are still present in the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder. Also, when I hit settings, all settings, the menu isn't showing.

Can anyone help with this? I really do not want to flash it again!
[HD2 General] Speedfreak65:
Same thing here... already happened something like 1 month ago, the only way to get it back was a hard reset, hope someone know another way. Isn't there any update to solve this issue?

I´m using a T-Mobile HD2, with the stock ROM.

EDIT: Another thing happened when the icons gone away, the phone does not rings anymore, no matter what.

Advent Vega Folio Case

I have had my Advent Vega for around a month now and have been concerned about keeping it safe. So a trip to Curry's i picked up the advent vega folio case.

First impressions of the case were good the device slides nicely into the case (although it could be a bit tighter) Giving good protection to the edges of the device. I am confident it would protect from light knocks and possibly minor drops.

There are cut outs for the i/o ports, even the microphone is visible. One of the few bad points is there is no cut outs for the speakers, so the volume needs to be increased.

The material is similar to my v-smart Armour case for my desire hd, a matte black with a textured finish. The pinstripe design inside is odd but not unattractive and there is a compartment for paperwork. The case also doubles as a easel, which is great for propping on the desk or coffee table for movie watching.

Overall, I think this case adds a small amount of bulk for the level of protection and for anybody with any worries about damaging there beloved advent vega, this is a must buy

Edit: Added some pics. Sorry for the poor quality

Hello all

The stock case from dixons et al was to expensive to ask for me xmas pressie.

Is it worth it?

Ive seen other cases at a similar price with a usb keyboard build in, anyone got any experiences of those? (with the usb fix obviously).

or, is the std vega case worth the outlay?

Im also more interested with pound shop ipad screen covers than the 12! pound dixons/curries/pcw ones.

Again, any personal experiences?

I got one of these HP Sleeves from DIXONs, about £21

this was after hearing that the cost v quality of the Advent case wasn't all that..

Its a well made sleeve, its neoprene so fairly water resistant I assume and the Vega rests on it nicely at the right angle for viewing and typing into without slipping off..

[Vega Accessories] CalumD:
Definitely looking at getting a folio style case like the official Vegas one, though that one's a bit expensive at the moment. They should really realise that people paying a budget price for the device itself aren't likely to pay a premium for the accessories.

Two days ago I tried the official Toshiba Folio 100 case on my Vega (Mobii 10) and it fitted very well!

And it serves as a stand too!

(look here and click on accessories)

I didn't buy it because of the price: € 39,99 (about 33 GBP)

And I would really love a case with a USB keyboard...

I guess there's none yet that fit's the Vega perfectly without blocking the USB port...

Advent Vega Folio Case

I really dont think £29.99 is a massive amount for a case. Most cases i get for my mobile phones are between £15-£20 and they are about 1/6th the size. I think the official case offers good value for the protection it offers.

Hey

I have the Advent case. I got it from my brother as a Christmas present. When I got it the Vega fit pretty snug and I didn't have to worry about what way I carried it. however after not even a month the Vega now slips out quiet easily.

For the price I'd have to say not worth it and I'd hold off for alternatives

Even now the right side where the ports are clicks into and out of place, so yeah, protect your Vega!

folio case

I bought a folio case for my Vega because it offers good protection in everyday use and as gman says it protects the edges well. But beware, it is a loose fit and one end is completely open. Mine slid out when I was going out to my car,luckily I caught it just before it hit the ground. I still keep it in the folio and it all fits in a zipped neoprene netbook sleeve if I take it anywhere. A bit bulky but the Vega is very well protected now.

Well, would you believe it..... I was using the Vega in the house so only in the folio case. When I switched it off, without thinking I stood up and it slipped out of the case and landed edge on on the carpet. The sreen is now very badly cracked, it still works but I can't really use it as there is a risk of cut fingertips. Thank goodness I have Whatever Happens insurance as the Store Manager at PC World reckons it's a write off .
