First you want to make sure your phone knows what 100% and 0% really are, then you need to find out the true causes of drainage.

Try some of the suggestions here:

How to isolate and fix battery drain (and maybe lag, too) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806211
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
Wi-fi is the only thing that really drains my battery fast. I like to keep in on all the time. I had a problem for the longest time until someone pointed out that if you check Settings>Applications>Samsung Apps, it was set to wi-fi only. If I turn it off, I get much better battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
I second this post. I have started turning off updates by Samsung apps, and I can last 2 full days now on one charge. Before it was lucky to make it through 8 hours of little use. It for some reason didn't become a problem until 2.2.1 roms
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Interesting, that is checking for updates all the time... going to disable this in my next rom updates.

Maybe i missed it, but i just read all 12 pages of this thread and don't see a link to download firebird2 for captivate. (Running cognition v3.02)

please help?

If I wanted to build a slow-work.ko and CIFS.ko for this, what kernel source would I need? Can I get the source for your kernel DG?
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Not pretending to know a whole lot but have you tried Settings > Wireless and Netowrk > Wi-Fi settings > Menu button > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy> When screens off

I found this saves on batter power.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Sorry. Perception 9.5 I have apps installed but ATK is set to auto kill EVERYTHING but Beautiful Widgets, ATK, Gmail, and Messaging. I haven't installed or updated anything since installing the new kernal. Phone was completely dead, charged with Phone OFF.

Sorry to jump the gun, I am really impressed with Perception and the battery life I was getting that this was slightly disappointing.

EDIT: My battery life usage also showed that my display had accounted for roughly 99% of the battery drain, as another user on the other page indicated.

Also, where is 'Samsung Accounts'? I don't see it on my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] dpmurphy81:
Running this kernal on Ginger R5 Rom and it seems to be running just fine had zero problems with the install. I did notice the constant wifi scanning but no big deal when I am at home I always have it plugged in. battery drain does seem to be more than normal but I still have to recal the battery yet so I'll post after the fact. Love the Att death star.

Quadrant scores are in the 1600's if you are into that benchmark... But who cares...
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
Yep. That's my set up too. Without extensive testing, as mentioned before, the Samsung Apps makes the difference between an 8hr or a 24hr battery for me.
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
Same here. Setting wifi policy makes a difference, but not quite like the one in Samsung apps.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Agreed. I killed those and the background data and I'm at 13.5 hrs since unplug. Battery reads 66 % been medium to heavy use. P10.1.

[Captivate Android Development] CPeterson:
I haven't seen this referenced in the SGS forums, but it's probably intentional behavior:

Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)

I'm guessing Samsung their strategy in 2.2.1 to match "Choice 3". It's not a problem unless it keeps dropping at that rate over multiple hours after you've recalibrated.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
My concern is that I didn't update any apps, install any new apps, or change any settings before or after I installed the firebird kernal.

Hey guys I really need input on this.

I'm currently running Darkys V8.1 with the speedmod kernel. I really want to switch to firebird because I hear how fast it is. But I have a couple questions if people would help.

1. Is this noticeably faster than speedmod

2. Could I flash this over Speedmod kernel.

3. Hows the battery cause mines decent 13 hours.

4. if I decide I don't llike the kernel could I just restore my Speedmod back up.

5. And finally when a Darkys update comes out could I just flash over the update regardless of the difference in kernels.

Thanks in advance. Please helo
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
1. It's a tad faster, I find voodoo is less laggy when you're installing an app and doing something else. Under normal usage I don't think it's much if any faster.

2. Yes, just disable your speedmod lag fix first.

3. I think fb has a little worse battery but it's by no means bad.

4. Yes just disable the voodoo lag fix first.

5. Usually you would restore to stock before flashing a new rom, but since flashing a new rom will format everything anyways I think you can get away with it. Some do some don't.

Firefly 1.0 / Speedmod K12n / Kp1

Pure sex.
[Captivate Android Development] ryboto:
I've never had to disable voodoo to flash a kernel, and I've never had a problem doing things this way. Just thought I'd toss that out there.

Can someone please post the "original" "firbird kernel picture on the second post. I liked the old one more than deathstar. (It was actually the firebrid)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
But you flashed a new kernel with different code for reporting the battery... so maybe your old kernel was wrong about it being charged to 100%. (just looked into that)

2.2.1 kernel source is a bit different then 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] DeMarzo:
I flashed Cog 3.02 yesterday @ some time and then followed that up with the FB2 Kernel.

Got the splash screen and when I boot the phone and all but I was just checking the "About Phone" in my settings and my Kernel says 2.6.32.9.

I flashed it with CWM.

Any one have any ideas? Should I just try to reflash?

[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
This question is being asked everytime, but since never said 100% sure, i must ask again:

Firebird 2 kernel accepts only NON-Captivate modems, correct?

I use for now a modem from I9088 (BTW, VERY nice voice etc.)
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:

I know in the big picture it makes no difference, but when I flash the new #13 verison, it still says # 9 in my about phone.just wanted to make sure I had the new kernel. Flashed through the kernel flashing app. Should I flash it with clockwork instead. No need to disable voodoo first right? Since it is essentially the same kernel?

I've been struggling with my battery since my new ROM..it's been pretty bad, but it's only been a day or so.

[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:

cifs support

I see from the OP that TUN support is built-in. Is CIFS built in too?

I'm trying to mount a share as follows in adb:

#mkdir /mnt/cifs
#mount -r -t cifs -o "username=foo,password=bar" //host/share /mnt/cifs
mount: No such device

lsmod shows cifs.ko is not loaded

I've followed the directions on building cifs.ko for the Galaxy Tab, but using the GT-I9010_Kernel source but gmake M=fs/cifs doesn't generate a module for me.

Any suggestions?

I use it at the lowest setting all of the time unless I go out, and I think it's still too bright in a dark room. before the auto brightness was working I have a feeling that it use to get a lot lower, but it's been a while and a lot of rom switching. it could definitely use some more tinkering.

From what I understand on the galaxy S, the hardware controller does the recalibration automatically every few seconds while you are using the screen. I believe it was discussed on a thread that was all about enabling 10 touch inputs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattymon:
I was using my phone today and it froze. I took out the battery, restarted, and then it got stuck in the galaxy S loop. I factory reseted + wiped cache still no luck. external sd card could no longer be mounted. I tried flashing JL2 and than a speed kernel. The phone then booted up but i couldn't download any apps because the phone didn't recognize an internal or external SD card (wouldnt allow me to save). I also tried just flashing JL2 manually and JH2 without the speed kernel but the phone doesnt even make it past the Galaxy s screen without restarting. Sometimes the phone goes into recovery mode after reboot and it says:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(I/0 Error)

E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount SDCARD:

you storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for formant and reboot actions.

[Droid X General] buckarooholiday:
I've looked through this site and others about rooting my Droid X and it seems easy enough. I'd like to do it to solve a few problems I've had with my X since it was released.

Namely, (1) I want access to the internal phone storage to remove bloatware, save pictures/ringtones, etc. (2) Fix the issue of randomly deleted pictures from my SD card. (3) Run custom (non blur) UIs, among other things.

I've already started using Launcher Pro, so my phone's appearance is pretty close to acceptable. My X still deletes pictures, though, which apparently isn't as wide-spread as I thought...

Will rooting my phone fix any of these issues?
[Droid X General] indypacer:
(1) If you root you can remove bloatware (though freezing it is a better option), I don't know what you mean by saving pictures/ringtones - you want to store it on internal memory? (2) Not sure about the randomly deleted photos. I used to have that issue from time to time, but read that it happened b/c I wasn't unmounting my phone from USB mode before disconnecting it from my computer. I unmount every time now and haven't had that issue since. Could just be a coincidence since it was a sparse occurrence anyway. (3) Rooting will let you install and run ROMs, which will give you custom UI's as far as changing the status bar icons and whatnot.

Personally, I'd recommend Fab's ApeX ROM. It kills the bloatware and changes the Blur theming throughout from Blur to Gingerbread.
[Droid X General] buckarooholiday:
Yeah, I want full access to the internal memory. Everytime the SD card is in use by the computer or my car stereo, I can't take pictures and it goes to the default (read: crappy) ringtones (which I'd like to delete anyway). I'd like to store camera pictures and ringtones on the internal memory.

I've been unmounting before I disconnect my phone and I have even been using the wall wart to charge it, when I don't need to modify data. It has lost my pictures, namely cd cover art, even after that. I probably forget sometimes, or someone else unplugs the phone. The only other conclusion I can think of is that it still can happen when I unplug my phone from my car stereo USB port.
[Droid X General] fasthair:
I can say for sure rooting the phone will not cure the deleting pictures off the SD card. Mine has done it three times now. The first couple of times I chalk it up to me since one time I did install a themed gallery app. But the third time I know for a fact the photos where there one day and gone for the next. There is a great big long thread at the Moto DX forums on this problem and not a single peep from Moto in the thread on the subject.

I've also read (here I think) that apps like picture gallery will not be able to see the photos on the internal memory so you won't be able to view them on the phone. Same goes for music I think. Something along the lines of the apps don't have Super User rights so they can get into the internal file system. I could be wrong on this part but I know I did read it.

As the other post suggest it is better to freeze the bloat instead of deleting them. If the bloat is missing the phone will not update should Verizon push more updates out. Of course once you root you can install a ROM and not worry about the updates. Just be sure to make a backup before installing the ROM so you can go back if you need or want to.

Also try changing the USB connection to Charge only. That should keep the SD card from mounting when plug the phone into a PC, not sure about the car mount though since I don't have one.

This is a known issue, and I don't think anyone has come out with a fix for it yet.

The Vaelpak version of WiFi Tether works flawlessly on Ricsims Stock Turbo 3.70 however, and it is basically the same version of your ROM without the Vaelpak theme.

No need to purchase PDAnet or easy tether.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrinehart93:
Hey guys. I'm posting this message here because it doesn't seem like there are many experienced devs in the LG Optimus S section over at AndroidCentral (only place with a LG Optimus S forum).

So there are only really two ROMs for the LG Optimus S currently, and myself being a dev, thinks that there should be more. So I took on the task of creating an AOSP ROM for the community. I *think* I have it compiled correctly, and I *think* I have the boot.img packed correctly. The only part I'm stuck at is actually flashing the ROM to my phone... my update-script has an error. While flashing the ROM, I get this message:

Copying files...

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/cat

E:Failure at line 9:

symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat

Installation aborted.

_________________________________

I've looked at line 9 in the script, and I can't seem to find anything wrong with it, but keep in mind it IS my first time developing a ROM from complete scratch.

If anyone can help me out here, I'd be insanely grateful to you!

Thanks for you time,

[About XDA developers] emerge007:
I have a personal request to have a place among xda for LG vortex users. While I understand the technology is weak in comparison, I think we will find for Verizon users the phone will become an entry level popular phone. I myself have found useless scattered information, but nothing substantial or even organized among forums for the LG Vortex. I myself bricked it once, thinking it would be a simple process like it was for a friends Droid. Lesson learned I guess, however 2 users from xda alone made the same mistake. Do you think perhaps we could compile something for the Vortex? I would like to have that information there for people to see.....not have to skim through and eventually screw-up or give up. As of now only z4 root will root the phone. You and I know that kernels and roms are not here yet for the Vortex, atleast not on a verified level, many new users may not know. I am willing to supply much information as requested, I do have root. I just would like to see xda make a special spot for the phone, where people can easily share their thoughts and experiences......and where users can find it!
