Hi all I did this last night and it worked wonders on my battery. Before this with screen brightness at about 20% and 10 hours of being on the battery would be dead. The screen on time was 3h15m at best before it would die. After I did this I tested my battery by playing a movie, games, web and texting. When I put my phone on the charger last night screen on time was 5h flat. I was amazed. So I thought I'd type this up for anyone with battery woes. You need to be rooted and Clockwork installed.

1. Dial *22899 and let it do its thing. This helped my battery drain while in standby. Now drains about 1% every 3 hours of standby.

2. Charge phone to 100% (phone on)

3. When the charge hits 100% power down the phone

4. A green battery will show on screen and show its not fully charged. Leave it on the charger until it shows 100% (phone will vibrate to let you know and state 100%, do not unplug phone)

5. Once it reaches 100% boot into recovery by holding both volume keys and power until the Samsung logo appears.

6. Choose "apply update.zip" (use the home key for selection)

7. You are now in Clockwork. Use the volume keys to navigate to "advanced" and the back softkey to select it.

8. In the advanced menu select "wipe battery stats" (there will be no conformation)

9. Back in the advanced menu select "wipe dalvik cache"

10. Now back into the main menu and select 'wipe cache"

11. Select "reboot phone" and wait for it to reboot (will take longer than normal)

12. Once fully loaded unplug the charger and run the phone until the 5% warning then plug back in
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
So, it sounds like this battery issue only affected those that were rooted to begin with and had to manually clear thiese caches?

I have not noticed any different (good or bad) with my battery on stock only builds DI01 to DL09.
[Fascinate General] justinc101011:
Yea mine kinda went south after I flashed Dj05 awhile back. Alot of users are reporting worse battery after DL09 too though so I thought this may also apply to them.
[Fascinate General] Bawb3:
Battery life is also affected by your kernel and rom combo. Adyrnalyne's kernels seem to have awesome battery life. I last charged my phone saturday night and it's just now dropped down to 17%. However I also did a full wipe including battery stats and davlik when I installed superclean and this kernel.

[Fascinate General] justinc101011:
Yea Ad's were best for me too im on Blackhole 2.4 and Ad's 12/30
[Fascinate General] bladen2048:
Did not work for me

I tried doing this multiple times and it did not work for me. After updating to DJ05 I started to have problems with my battery draining extremely fast (about 3x faster than on DI01). So I upgraded to DL09 thinking it might fix the problem, but it did not. What did work is draining the battery down to 0% and the phone shut off. Then I plugged the phone in and held the volume up/down keys and power button to get in to recovery. I then applied the update.zip to get in to clockwork recovery and scrolled down to the advanced menu and wiped the battery stats. When I rebooted the phone the battery drain was better than when I was on DI01. Not sure if this will work for anyone else but it worked for me.
[Fascinate General] Bawb3:
Yeah, wiping the battery stats when making any major changes seems to help a lot.

Sent from my Fascinate - DJ05/SuperClean/Adryn's 12/30
[Fascinate General] justinc101011:
I did that too and it didnt help until I wiped battery stats AND cache
[Fascinate General] Accused187:
Typically I always charge to 100% with the phone off then wipe stats whenever I install a new rom. Was curious why my standby was killing battery on DJ09 and not DJ05, so that *22899 reset helped a bunch.

I went from around 68% no signal from standby to 28% in the short time I've tested.
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
gonna try this. I was on DL09 for awhile but battery sucked. went back to DI01 but couldn't handle the GPS issue. Going to try this and see if it fixes my issues w/ DL09 and battery.

jv
[Fascinate General] rmtobler:
this worked for me... I has previously just tried wiping battery stats to see if the battery life would improve. I had also changed kernels and switched to dj09 modem so I want sure who the culprit was. I also tried another corrective step by letting the batery drain to zero then turning off and charging to 100% before wiping batt stats but that didn't work either. I am back to normal now which was already pretty good. I should have never messed with the settings in the first place but was curious :(
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
so you did the drain then wiped battery status?

jv
[Fascinate General] famousface:
I can't believe I didn't know this before. Huge difference. My method was pretty much like the first post. Totally drained battery, dialed the reset number, charged phone to 100% while off, unplugged and replugged until fully charged, wiped battery stats and caches, and I'm still draining. At 43% after 19 hours of lighter use.

[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Not sure if *22899 fixed my battery issue, but I have now been at 91% after 1 1/2 hour WITH wifi enabled! I've received a few emails only. Not really been messing with the phone. Seems to be alot better then the first time I had DL09.

jv

After a few downloads, a few google talk sessions and more pushed emails it has been 3.5 hours since unplugged and I'm at 80%.... I'm going to have to say that it was the *22899 that helped me.

jv
[Fascinate General] kgillette:
ahhh battery goodness again

Battery life is worlds better after doing this.

I would go through a fully charged battery in under 6hrs before... as of now ive been on battery since lastnight at 8 and even after a night of usage, no charge overnight, and using it all day today I still have 28% battery.

Thanks a million :D
[Fascinate General] justinc101011:
No problem. :)
[Fascinate General] codeformoney:
You only dialed *22899? didn't do the other steps?

I tried dialing *22899 and it says programming and it reaches to Lock Code password set... and it seems to not be doing anything. Is it done?
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Yup. Well I did wipe cache. Don't remember when I did it, though. But at some point after updating to DL09 I did wipe cache. It's been about 2.5 hours since I edited my last post and I've only lost 10% after a few emails and some text. I've even had wireless on since unplugging it. Something fixed it. I did flash a different modem. I flashed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908451

jv

edit: forgot to mention that I am using Adrynlyn's test2 1/16 voodoo5 kernel
[Fascinate General] codeformoney:
My results were for dialing just *22899, without doing the other extra steps...

so far 8 hours unplugged from the charger and I'm down to 71% which seems a bit better than previously ...
[Fascinate General] jselden:
This worked great. I charged last night to 100% and then this morning wiped stats around 6:30. I have been using it all day with WIFI and 25% brightness and 11 hours later I have 73% battery life left. I also noticed Standby is on 18% which is a lot lower than it has been in the past.

Thanks again for this little tip.

Any idea if just the *22899 will help out a non rooted fascinate without wiping the battery stats? My wife doesn't want me to mess with her phone.
[Fascinate General] JaeKar99:
I just did it to a coworker's non-rooted phone.. I may know more tomorrow.
[Fascinate General] codeformoney:
I'm rooted, but all I did was the *22899 and that seem to have helped. I didn't want to bother installing the clockwork stuff...
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
What exactly does the *22899 do? It worked for me too...
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Updates PRL for phone.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
What is prl?
[Fascinate General] ytaay:
Preferred Roaming List.

The PRL is a list that allows your phone to roam off of towers that are not part of your native network, such as a sprint phone connecting to a former Alltel tower if none of its own are available. Because roaming agreements are constantly changing and new towers are added all the time, it's important to keep this list up to date.

(ported from android central www dot androidcentral dot com slash how-update-your-prl-your-cdma-device)
[Fascinate General] JaeKar99:
After 12 hours off the charger under low to moderate use Battery down 20%. This is the same use profile I had on this kernel and ROM prior to the described battery fix.

If it is helping some posters that is great. I cannot detect that any improvement in overall battery life.

I was - still - running a very minimal ROM (data sync active). And recently did a couple of ROM flashes with a full factory wipe.
[Fascinate General] justinc101011:
whats your screen on time and % without signal?
[Fascinate General] famousface:
Follow up

After following the instructions it went great. After a few charge cycles the battery is still good but not as good as it was. I'm wondering if it is a good thing to do this every once in a while (without being obsessive) or if only doing it after each rom upgrade is sufficient. I'm not quite sure why it works but I'm guessing that it sets the battery meter and clears instructions that drain it. Either way, it's still better than it was.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
What is exactly supposed to happen when you do *22899? For me it says activating, plays that music and then something about a lock code. After that my radio goes off and wont come back on until a reboot or cycling in and out of airplane mode. Is this working properly?
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
It should reboot the phone automatically. It is just getting a list of towers thare are close to your location.

jv
[Fascinate General] hrez2kx:
hmmm interesting......after doing this, i've found that my idle battery usage is a lot lower, but the battery drops a lot quicker when using the screen compared to how it used to be.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Same here. I'm trying Adrynalyne's 1/21 sv_voodoo now, just had the 1/21 uv_voodoo & both had faster battery drain than the previous kernels. The best for me so far has been his 1/16 sv_voodoo; I might go back to it tomorrow.
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Ok, I didn't see anywhere on this thread where to click on a thanks to thank you for this guide. But thanks for posting it. This seems to have improved my battery life
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
I actually just tried this again and this time it actually rebooted. Makes me think it didnt work the other day.

So the question is, should I now go back and repeat the rest of the steps again?

HTC Splash tool V1.0.2 WVGA (14.10.2010) by Barin

The original description from the author (Barin). Translated by AndrewSh. Link to original mobileug-thread.

The tool is designed to create a flashable boot splash image for the WVGA HTC devices and retrieve images from the original splash NB file

It's the first (boot) splash. Should be flashed separately. No OS interference.

- Possibility to use source images in BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG format (size should be 480x800)

- Possibility to create NB file from the image (picture) file

- Possibility to create NBH file from the image (picture) file

- Possibility to convert the NB splash file to BMP file (NB splash file should be extracted from rom for the device with WVGA - 480x800 resolution)

- Possibility to import settings from NBH files and save them to the registry for later use.

- Bilingual interface (English / Russian) - i will help to translate it to german

- Possibility to create Secondary BOOT splash if Your device supports it (select section code 0x6XX for secondary splash)

All operations with source files are performed using the "File" menu

Ready custom splash NBH file should be flashed to device with any Rom Update utility.

Tested by Alexx ~, AndrewSh, Ultrashot

Requirements:

.NET Framework 3.5

Hello,

This is really nice and very useful tool which I have been hoping for.

I have a lil problem. When I import my ROM (NBH), it doesn't read/show the splash screen present in the NBH.

0x0400 offset=0x000C0200 length=0x0CDED200 - OS

No idea why or Am I doing something wrong? :confused:

The splash screen has been inserted by osKitchen and works well on device when flashed.

BTW; if I extract the splash.nb from the NBH using HTC ROM Image Editor and open with this tool (HTC Splash Tool), it shows fine.

Thanks...

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile] -=Barin=-:
It does not import spash data itself from nbh, but nbh parameters only.

To create splash file you need to open bmp or other type of image and then build NB or nbh file (with imported parameters - CID, Version, etc.)

To extract image from NB you need to open NB file.

Read the first post ;)
[Windows Mobile] CRACING:
Ah now I got it. Import from NBH is for importing parameters only and also its under NBH parameters. My bad :p

Thanks...
