What is ur idle drain? Mine has like 1% for like 1.5-2 hours.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsmitty64:
Sounds like a good old battery recalibrate is in order:

1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%

2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).

4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.

5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.

6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.

I did this a couple days ago, plus wiped stats, and as of right now, I am showing 20% after 30 hours. No joke.

juice defender is amazing!! it helped my battery so much!!! thanks a lot!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ133169:
Try searching google / this forum for a post of resetting battery stats, i need to do that also since my battery life isnt all that good either, especially how im running 3.04 cog and everyone says batt. life is amazing. SO if anyone can link to battery reset post that would be amazing.

Ironically, JuiceDefender killed my phone *much* faster than with me manually enabling and disabling my data connection.

IMO, JuiceDefender does nothing that you can't do yourself, the problem is, is that it constantly has to check apps to see if any are enabled to toggle your data connection.

I actually use my phone and I am getting these results
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noc215:
I have a very similar question. My problem is, on custom roms (I've tried Assonance, Serendipity, and another), my battery drains 1%/hour. This is even after a fresh install; nothing is running in the background. When I look into my battery info, it says wifi is doing the draining. I keep hearing people saying their battery life is amazing after flashing custom roms, but I'm getting the complete opposite. Am I forgetting something?

Without custom roms or anything, and using a rooted/lag-fixed (not sure this makes any diff anyway) setup, I lose somewhere between 2-3% battery per hour on standby. I don't even use juicedefender. I really love what they're doing with these custom roms, but the wifi on standby just rapes my battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:

just curious, when people are getting really ****ty battery life and its not a software thing, is it usually a bad battery, or are there "bad" power hungry captivates?
[HTC Aria General] syed239:
I was reading that setting your phone to CDMA helps improve battery life. I was wondering what CDMA is and how do I set it to that?

Sent from my Liberty CM7
[HTC Aria General] cpfeifer:
From what I understand CMDA is a network type not something you can change if you changed that setting your phone would no longer communicate with your carriers towers.
[HTC Aria General] syed239:
So its basically killing data?

[HTC Aria General] Darius_bd:
It's killing radio. Like airplane mode. And wont work in CDMA networks as it lacks the hardware needed.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Lol I'd love to know where you heard this.

Print these out and read next time you're on the ****ter.
[HTC Aria General] crispcat89:
I thought CDMA was 3G. I have GSM and WCDMA. GSM is edge. Which uses less battery life, 3G use gives you less battery time. I may have it backwards. But I don't think so.
[HTC Aria General] Darius_bd:
WCDMA aint the same as CDMA. WCDMA = UMTS = HSPA (HSDPA+HSUPA) = 3G (ok, not equal, but let's keep it simple). GSM = GPRS = EDGE = 2G. CDMA = Other kind of 2G, EVDO = Other kind of 3G.

That should summarize it all.
[HTC Aria General] crispcat89:
yeah, w/e guy. anyway, i got the battery **** correct, using your aria set to gsm/2G, gets better battery life.

this has all the stuff about 2G

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2G

*edit, i was correct in my first post. about gms being edge, which is still 2G
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
That's exactly what he said lol...cdma is not 3g ttho fron my understanding of things
[HTC Aria General] lsusparky621:
In short, all AT&T phones are GSM because the cell tower configuration AT&T uses. Verizon phones, for example, are CDMA because they use a different tower configuration than AT&T, thus why Verizon phones can't work on AT&T. Have you noticed how the new Verizon iPhone had to be slightly readjusted to add extra antenna notches in the corner's that the AT&T iPhone did not have? This is so the Verizon iPhone can be compatible on Verizon's CDMA network.
[HTC Aria General] JCreazy:
Yeah ATT uses GSM, it is a newer technology than CDMA
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
mobile term madness
[HTC Aria General] winsettr:
FYI: while setting your phone to GSM/2G will save battery, you will not be able to use data and voice simultaneously (without wifi anyway) just like Sprint and Verizon users. Maybe no big deal, but happens to be a feature I can't live without.

I wanted to read a couple of articles on the new Honeycomb tools that released today and I C2P'd it to my Evo. I found another article and when I C2P'd it, it replaced the first article.

Does anyone know if this would be possible. Is it controlled in the app itself or is it something that is controlled by the Browser APK.

[General Questions and Answers] beand1p:
I have a 16gb SD card that is coming tomorrow, but I got my phone tonight. It came with a 2gb SD card. Can I root and install the ROM on my 2gb SD card and swap in my 16gb SD card tomorrow? Does the ROM install to the internal memory?
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Yes it does, so you'll be fine.
[General Questions and Answers] Michael_robert:
Hi,

“ROM” is the memory where the system files of the OS is stored. By default all downloadable apps are stored as well in this location. Therefore it would be better to install ROM in 16 GB SD card or you can also install it in internal memory and define the external memory path (16 GB SD card location) for downloading any apps.

..that there are only 3 threads in this forum. Hopefully it will pick up, but I'm beginning to lose hope...
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
Yeah, it seems like there aren't too many devs writing on this phone, I would expect that this long after the release there would be some more development, its sad that at this point, there's only one custom rom for this phone
[Droid 2 Global General] TexF18:
Droid 2/X Roms work on globals they just can't connect to the network. And the slide out keys are in the wrong order. So I don't see why some can't tweak some of the other Roms to work on this phone.
[Droid 2 Global General] botnryan:
they do? last time i tried it bricked mine. the global has totally different framework. i wish a dev would at least try to get another rom going for us. i'd be willing to test now since there is an SBF.
[Droid 2 Global General] TexF18:
I fudged up and installed liberty 1.0 and the Droid 2 fission rom both worked fine be side the keypad and no network the liberty rom was incredibly fast and snappy.

Yeah, I tried to install liberty when I first got my phone and it bricked it, I'm pretty sure it doesn't work
[Droid 2 Global General] TexF18:
Worked for me but I did it when I had already bricked mine. And all I could do was boot to recovery screen

I hope it does. I check this thread every day multiple times to see if the Fission 2.5.7 is up. I hope some dev's come through. I'm willing to "donate" for them!
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
Ok, I decided to give it a try and install liberty, I got it to work after wiping pretty much everything. And as stated before, keyboard and network don't work, but I got everything else to work, including wifi. I think this should be a wake up call, devs can port roms from the droid 2 and x, with a bit of modification.
[Droid 2 Global General] davezaff:
I already donated but no love yet....
[Droid 2 Global General] TexF18:
Yeah I wouldn't imagine that it would take much
[Droid 2 Global General] davezaff:
No the framework is totally different on the D2G so it is timely to port.
[Droid 2 Global General] ben7337:
The real shame is that there isn't a single decent physical keyboard phone for verizon aside from the D2G, or D2, but the D2 can only be had preowned now afaik, and both have the locked bootloader that is the main problem for these phones. Without that this phone might just have someone developing cyanogenmod or something for it. Hopefully a nice slider comes out in the not too distant future.
[Droid 2 Global General] TexF18:
I don't think the boot lock is that much of a problem. Since there are a ton of d2/x roms
[Droid 2 Global General] davezaff:
No the framework is the problem....if it was the same we would have 10 or more rims by now.
[Droid 2 Global General] Hann1bal:
I just think its a matter of time, D2G's haven't been out that long. I know a few people with the OG droid who aren't even due for a phone upgrade...and others had to upgrade to the D2 before the D2G came out.
[Droid 2 Global General] BigJermZ:
not that bad, I have fission rom manager from team defuse which deodex'd, rooted, and clockwork recovery'd my phone, then I installed red theme from droidforums and it runs smooth, fast and looks nice. This phone is still the fastest and smoothest out there and when moto releases gingerbread (hopefully with an unlocked bootloader) this phone will be able to compete with the tegra 2 phones (compete not compare)

I picked up fission too, spent the money to support the only ROM we have =P Hopefully more will come.

Fission might be the only D2G ROM out there now but it’s pretty happening.

There is the Fission ROM + a stock Rooted ROM

Three different themes with like 6 or 7 options

Eight different boot Animations

Seven different keyboards

Three different market colors

And a whole bunch of other options.

Also Castro on DroidForums made a Black n Black theme for Fission that looks great.

I’m Running ADW EX launcher with Sean yOrk’s Custom Black Icons (many colors to choose from)

My Battery life is great, my phone is fast, do I have all the options of different rom’s as my Droid 1, well no but the above is a great start.

[Nook Color General] viper2g1:
Ok, I really want to get a good tablet that has decent viewing angles but works well with reading. I want to load up ebooks/e-versions of text books and use it as a tablet/college book device. I understand the Nook Color has a GREAT screen for viewing books and can have a custom rom installed which I'm used to doing on my Nexus One.

I really would prefer a 10" screen so am asking you, are there any tablets currently available that have a 10" screen which are as good or better than the Nook Color for reading for long periods of time?

I have been lokoing at the Archos 101 or the G tablet but they seem like they have sub par screens compared to the Nook Color.

I'm sorry if this is a repost but I haven't found anyone asking exactly what I am which makes or breaks the purchase for me.

Thanks everyone!
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I believe the iPad is the only 10" tablet with a screen comparable to the NCs.

Not recommending one, mind you, just commenting.
[Nook Color General] viper2g1:
That is disappointing, I really dislike the ipad.. Personal preference.. Well in that case should I stock with the nook or are there other 7" tablets I should look at?
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
The Galaxy Tab screen should also be comparable, actually. But it's about the same price as an iPad.

Honestly, there are already a million "Nook Color vs. [insert name of some other tablet here]" threads in this forum, as well as a million "Should I get a Nook Color" threads. Read through some of those and you'll find all the information you need.

Personally, I don't recommend the NC as a reader. The screen has glare on it under almost any light IMO and the backlight gives me a headache after a while.
[Nook Color General] teknikk7:
Only other option (right now) is the iPad. I had the GTab (returned it) it had the worst screen I have ever seen in my life. Only usable when looking directly at it. Any shift of even a couple degrees severely degraded screen quality. At 45 degrees the image was completely inverted. I read the 101 also has a cheap netbook panel. I cannot comment as I have never seen it in person.

NES emulators work perfectly.

I have no problems reading on the NC.

Hey everyone. My iPhone recently crapped out (Jailbroken), and I don't really have the time to fix it. I've been doing some research, and I found the HD2 to be an exiting and affordable alternative, especially with Android running on it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go ahead and buy one, but before I do, I have a couple of questions:

How easy is it to flash the device and run Android on this phone (internal memory, not SD card)? I have no desire to run this phone with Win 6.5.

Once in Android, can Tmobile's web2go data plan be used? This is the big thing I loved about my iPhone. And if it can, is 3g supported or just EDGE?

Thanks!

It is very simple to flash Android on the HD2, there are YouTube tutorials floating around, just search "HD2 Android NAND" or something similar.

As for the Web2Go, I unfortunately do not know the answer to that.

And 3G and even HSPA is supported if it's t-mobile branded HD2 with web2go or t-zone.

I can confirm this because I am using the t-mobile branded HD2 with web2go data plan and is running on the NAND that I recommend.
