[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
hmm How long have you been with Tmo? I wonder if the people who are getting the text about the 14.99 plan are new customers or if they are exsisting customers.. Maybe they are new customers so there accounts are built in with the block from the get and people who have been with tmo for a while are either 1.grandfathered and doesnt apply to them or 2. Hasn't been rolled out to all exsisting customer's yet.

The grandfathered thing I bring up because I know TMO has a great loyalty program usually whatever you got when you opened your account(features/services) you get for the same price no matter how high it goes up.. for example I use to have bb. for years I only paid 19.99 when TMO raised the price to I think 25 mine stayed at 19.00. When I just upgraded to android they gave me the unlimited plan for what I was paying for my BB unlimited plan 19.99. Another example is I got hotspot at home with my BB that allowed me to make calls over wifi without it deducting from my minutes for an extra 10 bucks a month.. after a while they stopped offering this service but I was still getting it. As long as I never removed it from my account it stayed.

So maybe it's a thing where if you signed up after that policy for wifi(or right around) you will get banged with the "you need a tethering plan" message otherwise you're good.. That's just a possible explanation based purely on a hunch..maybe.. kinda.. sorta
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
I've been with them since '05 on their original Family plan
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
I've been with them since 06.. I tethered on my BB up until 2 weeks ago when I switch to Android (I set my android up for wifi hotspot but havent used it yet because my netbook is being repaired) so it could possibly be that. I'm curious to know if the people who got this text message are new(er) customers and the ones that said they didnt get the text and have no problems tethering are older customers

I tried the built in wireless tethering feature about an hour ago and I haven't received a text asking me to sign up for the monthly add on. I wasn't expecting it to work for free and I assume it won't be forever.

Has anyone who has rooted their MT4G had success using the barnacle app to wirelessly tether?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
yeah it was working for me, that was why I suggested it if you're not able to use stock. I just prefer the simplicity of the stock app, that and when ever I would tether with barnacle or the google code wireless tether my calls wouldn't come through but they do with the stock app.
[Desire HD General] DN41:
hey folks,

it's that never ending question i guess :P

i buyed that nice KIDIGI Dock for my dhd..it looks so pretty in it..and with the "Desk Clock" it adds a nice look to my desk.

so my question is, if its really that bad to keep it in there all the time. what about trickle charging? does usb support this?

i dont wanna damage my battery..

btw: when i get home, my battery is normally about 60% charged..if i put it in the dock whenever its on 60% it shouldnt damage it right? the memory effect can't happen on li-ion batterys compared to ni-cd ones i guess...

any tips?

how do you handle it?

DN41

ah btw: if you wanna have some pictures of the dhd in the dock, it's a pleasure to share them with you!
[Desire HD General] leppie:
Li-ion battery does not have memory. They have a limited life time. Normally around 2 years. Whether you charge it or not, does not make a difference.

You can go read the boring details on Wikipedia.

ok thanks...so i think i'm gonna have that great look all the time :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagirisk:
Can someone please help.

Noob here in flashing ROM. I have successfully flashed 2 ROM's and failed miserably with one (Serendipity 4.3).

Trying to see if anyone has some input/suggestions.

Day 1 -- Read, Read, Read spent 3 days, about 12-14 hrs a day reading

Day 4 -- Tried Serendipity 4.3 as my first ROM flash after going back to stock with odin and master clear -- After reboot anything i do with the phone, it freezes. Absolutely drove me crazy, I really like the theme, features etc... So i thought i was doing something wrong. Tried again, exact same problem. 4.3 freezes badly.

Day 5 -- Went back to stock, odin

Day 6 -- Downloaded Cezar's Continuum 2.0 ROM, Installed, worked perfect. No issues, good gps lock, calls never fail, awesome awesome.:)

Day 7 -- Flashed Cezar's new theme-- voila, awesome multiplied instantly by 10 times, very very kool.:):)

But, wait, Continumm doesn't have Swype. :(

Day 8 -- Try Serendipity 4.3 after Odin to stock, fail again. :mad:

Day 9 -- Read, read again

Day 10 - Download Perception 10.2, Odin to stock, install, working smooth since last 3 days

Day 11 -- Reading to find help if I am missing any steps for Serendipity 4.3

Day 12 -- If nothing works, will go back to Continuum 2.0 with Sensation theme.

Is anyone having issues with Serendipity 4.3 install ?

Things can do --Can root without looking at instructions, very familiar with unix so adb commands not a biggie. Always used reboot download. Easily work with TiBU, CWM, switching kernels using SGS etc.

Should i spend time on it or move on trying other ROM's like di11igaf's 5.3 which just came out or Firefly or Phoenix etc. Is this a symptom of ORD :confused::confused::confused:

Thank you for your input.

Sagi

Mods : Sorry, just realized, posted in wrong forum, can you please move it to Captivate Q&A.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysj:
You should use a ROM that works. In this case, you seem to really like Cezar's, so use that. No one says you HAVE to use Serendipity. If you do want to try Serendipity, try reflashing after you flash it the first time if problems come back, sometimes it just doesn't flash properly. I actually just reflashed 4.3 yesterday with no problems after testing out a few other ROMs for an hour or two (was that bored :P).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Your phone hates OC/UV. Those other two ROMs are not OC/UV, while mine is. Swap the zImage with the speedmod one, and delete the Voltage Control app.

Or, wait for 5.0 where I'm switch to speedmod anyway.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagirisk:
Mike,

First, thanks for your efforts with Serendipity.

Is it really possible that some phone can hate oc/uv ?? :confused: I guess, i need to read more.... :).

I will give it a try soon to swap with Speedmod and delete the VC app.

Good to know you are cooking 5.0, I promise, i'll give it a shot as soon as it is out. I like all the things you have in your rom. Any guess when it might be out..

Thanks again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagirisk:

Mike,

Guess what, I am on Serendipity 5.0 now and it has been working perfectly and it is fast.

Thank you, thank you.

[Wildfire Android Development] CivlDX:
EDIT:I have not tested this on 2.2 - I can only confirm that this will work on 2.1

First, install z4 root, located here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328

Once installed, click "root" and let the app do its thing. The app will root your phone, but will hang before it is able to restart. Let it sit for a few minutes before pulling the battery. When you turn your phone back on, ensure that superuser is installed to make sure your root was successful.

Please read forums before posting guide thanks

Hi

Had my phone a little over 24 hours and I may have a very poor battery

I have a LIVE screen on the one with the water and the leaves plus, I haven't made or received any calls but I have used it a little for internet and a few text messages

The green bar was on full about 5 hours ago and if I had to guess how long my use has been I would say 30 mins in total of the 5 hours, now my battery is indicating less than half full

Imagine if I was out all day making and receiving calls?

Does this sound normal?
[Desire General] Nitin985:
This is normal for the first week or two , the battery is adjusting itself to your needs
[Desire General] pasteedimees:
It's absolutely normal and you'll really notice a difference in about ten days, a couple of weeks the most.

That said, live wallpapers do use more battery. I much prefer a static dark one :)
[Desire General] infinityharry:
adding to that make sure your phones nicely drained before recharging to ensure you get a nice full charge for next time... i took my desire's battery at least 5 days to start having a long term charge
[Desire General] jul644:
bettery

same here took a week also what really helped me is having advanced task killer and setting it to kill unwanted apps after i lock the screen
[Desire General] mrmoogle:
i dont think you should use task killer, the apps will end them selves, i used task killer and got alot of force close after and errors etc :(

however force stopping unwanted applications is also good.
[Desire General] efcgenius:
Android system 30%

cell standby 25%

phone idle 17%

android OS 15%

Display 11%

Internet 2%

5 H 55M 55S unplugged, hahaha no joke its all 5's

and now my battery is almost dead surely this cant be right

has anyone ever been given a replacement battery for their phone or do they ask for the phone to be returned if this is infact a fault
[Desire General] mercianary:
Battery sucks, phone is power hungry. Get used to it :(

I've had 2 desires since a week after it was released, i can count on one hand how many times I've got through a day without plugging my phone in.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I get about 2 days on my phone if I don't mess around with it a lot or get many calls. I normally plug it on overnight. Every night.

Nowadays that seems normal for a smartphone. Personally I think the battery life is slightly better than the iPhone 3GS.

Angry Birds means it lasts about 4-5 hours... :)
[Desire General] Meaple:
It's all down to how your using your phone. If you have a live wallpaper and many widgets and apps that run in the background like running in the notification bar, then yes, your phone will die pretty fast. Also it depends on how much CPU your burning. When I first got my Desire, I was like WTF. This is useless battery life and was starting to play hell. Now it's fine. I can leave it for 2 days easily if I just text or flick through settings. It just depends on what your running.

BTW, no one should have a task killer. It defeats the purpose of Android. You can get a lot of force closes and other things. Just leave them alone and let the OS handle the apps. Android does end the process if it's idle, eventually, but it's not using anything really other than a bit of memory just to keep it going a little.
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
As GoogleJelly pointed out, it really does depend on what you do with your phone and what's apps/processes are running on it while the device is using battery. Even I found the battery life pretty poor at the beginning...I found it quite annoying having to charge this thing nearly every day.

After some light tweaking, I managed to get the battery life to go over 3 days and I now have no reason to complain about my phone :P Mind you, I'm not a heavy user....As for background apps, I think i've got about 5/6 apps running at a time...

EDIT: I've attached a screenshot of my battery meter.....
[Desire General] Meaple:
What app are you using to view your battey history?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I also tested task killer when I got my phone. I thought it was fixing battery life, but after bedding the phone in a bit I took it off to see how much difference it would make and I didnt notice any difference at all...
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
I configured Quick Battery app to go to battery history from my phone settings every time I tap on it. You can view your battery history through:

Settings > About phone > Battery use.

If you want the graph, just tap on the top layer which shows the length of time you've been on battery.

EDIT: This works for Gingerbread based ROMs (it's the standard feature lol)...can't remember this being on Froyo.
[Desire General] erklat:
This is irrelevant with Li-ion as this is a myth from the ages of NiMh batteries. Your battery will not get ruined if you don't discharge it completely before first charging.
[Desire General] mon012:
great guideline, thx :cool:
[Desire General] Meaple:
Ah right, cheers for that. Didn't know it was all built in :P
[Desire General] pasteedimees:
One of the main reasons why new smartphone owners experience fast battery drain lies in the simple fact that they fill up seven homescreens with widgets that sync over mobile internet every hour or even more often, which really kills the poor juice like a massive gas leak.

After about half a year of use I've reached a stage where I use just 2 screens on my Desire (CM 6.1.1), of which page no2 is a full 4x5 agenda and Page one has just one actively updated widget (home weather).

Combined with restricting network usage of random apps by means of DroidWall and underclocking the processor at certain parameters (eg. battery <50%) the phone lives for 2 days pretty easily, with moderate browsing, music etc included.

But TBH I've really decided that the battery usage is absolutely random because some days it just drains like there's no tomorrow with no apparent reason that I've been able to identify. Carry a spare microUSB wire tbh :/
[Desire General] System of a pWne!^:
I read so much myths in this thread concerning Li-Ion batteries.

First of all Li-Ion batteries do have instantly the capacity they are intended for. Even 5 charges won't change that. The only thing which can change over time and charge-cycles is your phone recognizing a new voltage level as "full" (read more: "calibrating htc desire battery") or you playing less with the phone or having power-consuming apps uninstalled.

Also a full first charge is not necessary. This "requirement" are from past days with NiCd or NiMH battery-types.

Read more: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
[Desire General] pasteedimees:
The calibration during the initial week or so of using the phone arises from phone-side calibration, not the battery itself, which is why deleting battery stats from recovery can at times resolve battery issues :V

Phone didn't last half a day after flashing CM 6.1.1; after a couple of days I charged it to 100%, deleted the stats and voila, it's about as perfect as a terrible smartphone battery can get.
[Desire General] erklat:
Or it can waste your battery completely. That said, read horror stories regarding ruined batteries from excessive calibration. Though I doubt the battery itself is ruined, but the phone indicator is no longer able to be precise.

It is a placebo. They pack batteries at HTC and the phone knows how much juice it gets on it's disposal out of the box. The phone isn't undergoing laboratory experiments and therefore it is not possible to replicate the same conditions in day to day usage. Users habits, radio and perflock are the three things that make a difference. The rest is just a mumbo jumbo.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheATHEiST:
a) Put a stock rom onto your sd card and name it "leoimg.nbh"

b) Put phone in bootloader (hold down volume button, then press power button and wait for instructions)

Or just flash a stock rom via active sync. There is many many guides on forum to do this.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Abdul9.:
Its very easy. Format your sd card using a digital camera, download a stockrom meant for your device meaning the stockrom with the native language of the phone. Unpack the stockrom and change the .nbh data into leoimg.nbh.

Format you sd card in your computer into fat32 and copy the leoimg.nbh data into it. Put the sd card into your phone and go into bootloader, then follow the instructions on your phone's screen. That should do the job.

I have looked all over and others have many issues, but i can't find one that is specific to mine, so here we go:

1: the weather no longer shows up in the calendar and yes, i do have that setting checked

2: the weather widget only keeps the 5 day forecast if i am connected to the internet. once i am not, it loses it and i have no weather info.

here is what i am thinking... i have the settings to update automatically and i have it to update every 3 hours. what i have noticed though is that when i am connected to the internet and i click on the weather widget from the clock to see the 5 day forecast, the weather updates by itself, every time.

so i think my issue is that it keeps trying to update my current location but if no internet, then it shows nothing.

i should also mention, that if i add a location, it keeps the weather info.

no clue what to do. i have removed widget, put back, took off update, made it once a day, put back.. tried everything, so wide open for suggestions. it worked fine for 2 months and now.. problems.
