[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
Looking better than EVO.

I'm a light-medium user with following activities for today:

~80 Exchange server email sent/received (15 min interval push)

~10 Gmail emails sent/received (sync when open)

~30 min of web surfing

~15 min of calls

No txt msgs

~30 min of Need for Speed Shift

~30 min of playing with the phone

Power apps:

Juice Defender

Env:

WIFI at work and home (~10 hrs)

HSDPA (~2hr)

Bluetooth in car (~1 hr)

Settings:

WIFI always on

GPS always on

Brightness setting at 40%

Screen off at 30 sec.

Always on mobile data

Manually kill unnecessary processes (notifcations, etc)

Manual update of FB, Twitter, weather, stock, news apps.

After 12 hours, battery is at 50%. I know being on WIFI most of the day helps big time, but I'm moving from an EVO that, despite a bigger battery, was usually down to 20~30% power remaining when I get home from work.

So far, I'm liking the Inspire: Power and logevity over EVO.

BTW, love the Quadrant numbers:

Inspire (totallly stock) == 1800+

Evo (custom kernel/ROM) == 1400
[HTC Inspire 4G] simulatordos:
All those news weather and social networking widgets are evil incarnate when it comes to battery. I do have the calendar widget going as well, so all is not lost.

Screen brightness kills... just look at the battery use and see how the screen always dwarfs the rest of the usage. I think the light sensor drains a lot of power with its checking ambient light levels constantly. Setting it to 25% makes a big difference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Shady:
I am going to give a very unbiased review of the battery. First, I'd like to say I think it is absolutely great. I have used the device all day (15 hours) and am currently at 59%. I though the battery would be terrible on this phone because it was only 1240mah. To be honest I never believed in the whole "battery breaking in" stuff, but once I did charge from 0-100. I saw a significant difference in battery life. So far I am getting better battery than my old Captivate and equal to my old iPhone 4 (which is very good). Hope this helps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PsylockeSmythe:
I ended up taking it off the charger yesterday morning at 6:30am and put it back on the charger at 9:30pm; I was down to 24% battery.

I had both Wifi and bluetooth turned on and left all the other settings at default. Ended up installing about 15 apps from the market; received about 6 e-mails; sent a few texts and used the phone for almost an hour through out the day. Plus spent about 15 minutes playing around with the dolphin broswer.

Right now I'm pleased with the batter life; not as good as I was getting with the Fuze; but also never expected it to last days before needing a recharge either.

[HTC Inspire 4G] GiZiM:
Sucks so far within 8hrs at 30% and about and hour and a half later 10% and dead soon after... with very very min. usage - Checked at the end of the day and 90% was screen... returning this phone tomorrow.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
that sucks... I am almost 6 hours into my last charge and am down to 78% with using tapatalk alot, 20 emails, 10 txts and a hand full of gtalk. I am getting pretty decent battery
[HTC Inspire 4G] cathaan:
I took mine off the charger last night around 8PM and it is now 9:15AM and im at 77%. That is with all syncing turned off
[HTC Inspire 4G] GiZiM:
Not to thread jack but sucks to be told also we have 4gigs of internal memory when only its 1gig (3gigs of bloatware and restore). The back speaker just sucks big time...
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
you know there is another thread that already talks about this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jerseykirby:
With heavy texting, quite a few calls on speaker while driving and quite a bit of app downloading my battery lasted just about 24 hours. I would say for what the phone does, it is pretty friggin' good. A lot better than my Captivate for some reason when running a custom ROM and rooted. I'm impressed with the Inspire, no complaints on any end from me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
What kind of screen on time is everyone getting. I'm approaching 4 hours at 15%. Definitely better than captivate stock battery of 2 hours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Masacrk:
I took mine off the charger at 9pm last night played around some more, downloaded my apps some music, forgot to turn off wifi and bt before I went to bed due to cappy not lasting thru the night if I did that, and this morning it was still at 87%, that in it's self was better than cappy.

Now 5 hours later with another 100mb of downloads, emails, exploring new sense, still at 74%.

All in all much much better than my captivate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jwzg:
Better than my Surround with the same amp battery. Similar heavy email and web usage would have had me searching for the charger by 5pm. The Inspire will last until bedtime. Not bad.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rajmahal772:
i am curious to know if everyone who is getting good results from their battery if they're doing the full 8-12hr charge or whatever they say is "supposed" to help
[HTC Inspire 4G] simulatordos:
No -- I just charged it to when it hit 100 the first night. Last night I did an overnight 6.5 hour charge.
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
I am curious if this uses the same cables/chargers as the HTC Aria.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Micro USB is Micro USB. This isn't an Apple product, after all... ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] rajmahal772:
ah ok, yeah i did the same when i got mine sunday night, pretty happy with the battery life so far
[HTC Inspire 4G] ButtonBoy:
I am seeing about the same battery life as I had with my Touch Pro 2 when I first got it. It is a fair comparison, as this is my first Android device and I am just beginning to tweak it to my needs. The screen is on a lot right now, with me tweaking it all up. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattbe213:
I am not using HTC Sense UI currently. I've installed the Android 2.3 Launcher and used that as my daily launcher.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ekerbuddyeker:
I managed 4.5 hours today before phone died. Wow.
[HTC Inspire 4G] LSUtigers03:
Geez what were you doing? I'm at 10 hours since unplugged and my battery is at 57%. This is with moderate use.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tucker1003:
Well, so far it sames a little better then my old tilt 2, but I am using it a lot right now, playing and setting up. True test will come when I am running Slacker for 5 hours straight!
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
haha, I figured but you never know these days
[HTC Inspire 4G] roidsmith:
My battery life is okay. Coming from my the newest iPhone I definitely notice the difference, but I still get almost a day out of it with pretty heavy usage.

I mostly text, browse a little web, I think sense is eating most of the battery lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
Not sure if this is related to me rooting, but I unplugged at 8am this morning and its almost 11pm and I still have 20% battery left. I came from the captivate and its sure a nice change of pace :)

A few calls

about 50+ texts

surfed for a little while

checked facebook

tested out the gps for about 30+ minutes

etc

I would call that moderate use and still almost 19 hours!
[HTC Inspire 4G] awtryau89:
I tested mine yesterday heavily. I took my Inspire off the charger at 6am and at 10pm I had 8% battery left. I wanted to use it more than normal to see how it went.

Over 1hour in phone calls

XDAapp extensively

5 texts

Twitter updating 30 minutes

All syncing on and background data on

Push email for EAS and Gmail

Couple of file downloads

Navigation for 2 short trips

Overall I am pleased. Not quite as good as my iPhone 4 but much better than expected.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rican2008:
Second day battery went well after disabling gps location, and auto background syncing. But this morning, after charging all night, and not changing anything, battery died before lunch just sitting in my pocket.

I am going to return this and wait for a better phone battery wise.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
After 4 days, it is light years better than the Captivate. I haven't even seen a need for Juice Defender and its ilk yet. Of course, YMMV.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
*Craptivate (sorry man I had to do it)

Reporting the same, my cellphone habits are not 100% focused on the phone as I have a full time job and prefer to browse the web on a desktop with an HD screen or laptop if available.

Going to copy and paste what I posted on another thread:

If you are not 24-7 texting or playing with the phone it should be fine and last you an entire day like it does with me with ONE daily charge unless Im using the phone like crazy.

Then again that's why CHARGERS and USB cables were invented, I have them in 3 or 4 select locations so I'm never out of juice.

In the 4 days Ive had it Ive noticed the battery is getting better and better with the battery charges.

I have my the GPS, WiFi and bluetooth turned off for the most part, but when I need them you best believe I fire them up.

My notifications are usually set at a lower refresh rate to avoid data consumption, if I really want to sync I prefer to do that manually anyways.

Im more than happy with my Inspire 1250 mAh though, Dual Cores be damned."
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackviper71:
Something doesn't seem right. I would suggest exchanging for a new Inspire and give that a shot. Battery should last a few days easy if its just resting in your pocket.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I can't say I completely disagree with that, now that I am getting experience with a REAL Android phone.

Yes, this. Very much this. I have one at my desk at work (I am a server administrator, in and out of our datacenter), one in my car for the 45 minute commute, one in my laptop bag, and one at home. Micro USB is cheap. Monoprice has great deals on them. There is no excuse for not charging. I have done this with iPhones and BBY devices for years.

My usage tends to be:

Two EAS accounts on push 24/7 (my work account and my Exchange 2007 admin account)

Texting. Lots of texting.

XDA (of course)

~1 hour or less of phone calls

Web usage

Engadget

Tweetdeck

Banking

Some RDC use through pocketcloud

Multiple widgets

Mobile AP usage

All this, and from 16:30 to 22:00 last night I only dropped 24 percent from full.

Amazing. That would have annihilated my Captivate battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthonok:
Much much better battery today. At 14 hours now and under 15% left but that's fine with me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Really need to focus on screen on time. Can and have been doing 4 hours before hitting 5% left. Stock captivate and battery can't do that. I consider myself an aggressive user meaning there is rarely a time the screen is off. In my opinion it could use a little more mah and that battery will come. Maybe a true 1600mah battery. I believe the dhd battery works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Just be careful on the too good to be true deals.

Ive been had before with other phones from those overseas eBay sellers that send you rebadged POS batteries.

The highest Ive seen from a legit company here in the U.S. for the Inspire is 1300 mAh :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Here's an interesting review about the battery of the phone

http://www.fastbutter.com/Article/227/HTC-In-Depth-Review--HTC-Desire-HD

What I found interesting:

"We had, by all means expected that the 45nm would only mean a little saving in terms of power consumption, but what we see here will come as a big surprise. Despite Desire HD has a battery of 1230 mAh it sweep the carpet with its older sibling Desire with its 1400 mAh battery. When Desire goes out after almost exactly five hours Desire HD still have 19% battery left and rolls on for one hour and two minutes more- despite the smaller battery.

This means, provided that the batteries deliver what they promise, that the new QSD8255 platform is about 27% more efficient in terms of relationship to the battery size. It also means that Desire HD thanks to improved battery life and a generally higher processor have had time to carry up to 50% more calculations / operations than Desire, on a single charge. We can not do other than to note that in terms of CPU consumption the new 45nm platform compensate for the small battery - and much more."
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
I'll take one true oem extra battery with a wall charger and ill be happy.

I'm a little spoiled from my captivates 3000mah battery. I do have an idea as to how a bigger battery can be incorporated into the battery door make it a one piece design door and battery allowing not cells to be stuffed into the package. I could see a company like seidio doing this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
I wouldnt mind a bit more of thickness for some more battery mAh, if they can make it look classy like the just announced Incredible S even better.

What I find unfair is that the Incredible S pretty much is the same form factor as the Inspire and its rocking a 1450 mAh out the box
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bitmancn:
Heywire can send sms to us and worldwide cellphone for free and support non-latin characters. However, I can not get it to work properly on my rooted Nook color. Error is: "heywire can not register your device ..........“ :confused:

It is supposed to work on android 2.1. If someone get it working, can you please share your tips? Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I got it working on nookie Froyo. Not sure what the problem with 2.1 is.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
Might be.that the rooted stock does not have some of.the phone and text frameworks in place
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bobshute:
I tried to install HeyWire on my Nook with CM7 when I was connected to wifi via my cable modem and got the same error "no cellular connection".

For the fun of it I conected my Nook via the Mobile AP app on my Samsung Vibrant and it worked!!

I guess it was because my vibrant was on 3g.
[Vega Android Development] Blob8me:
Sounds interesting..... especially the Galaxy Tab Email client.... will give this a try. Thanks for sharing.... :)
[Vega Android Development] indo0x:
It's nice to see more roms for the Vega! Will try this rom too! Thanks
[Vega Android Development] tony_k55:
Hello alphaola

thank you for this fast rom!

i have a little and one big problem

first the big:

its not possible to connect to a exchange server! "Unable to connect server."

My previous Rom (original Mail App) works whit the same settings clean!

can you test it?

and the haptics on the "APP Menu" is very bad.

when I touch and slide to the next page I always pick an App and drop it to my home screen.

otherwise, this is the best rom atm!

sorry for my awful english....
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
Go to Spare parts and untick haptic feedback. That should help,let me know how you get on.
[Vega Android Development] tony_k55:
hello alphaola

haptic feedback was already disabled.

I have tried the calibration tool and I have the feeling it is a little bit better.

but i still cant conntect to the exchange server.

by the way, thank you for the new rom release!
[Vega Android Development] Commsman:
Nice Addon

Just installed and it looks good.

The Samsung apps needs ButtonSavior or a hardware button re-config to work well (as access the menu not possible as these run full screen)

The email app seems a little unresponsive to clicks (e.g. on the reply button). Maybe I need to recalibrate my screen again... (anyone know if screen recalibration settings are saved between ROM updates such as this?)

I like Canvas and the music app is an improvement over the stock player.

Thanks for sharing this nice update - and in case anyone is wondering - installing this does not mean you lose any of your installed applications or settings (other than for those apps which are replaced) - although as recommended - a system backup is the best option to avoid wasting time in case something goes wrong.

Cheers

Flash doesn't work. It says i have to install a newer version of flash.

Email doesn't work, too. I can't setup an ingoing server. The app crashes if i try to save.

Any suggestions?

Send from my Vega
[Vega Android Development] IndyUK:
Certainly a fast rom. However, evrytime i start the vega the email app crashes and is forced closed. Is this a problem with this rom or is it the 1.09 release?
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
This is a re-hack of modaco r8 rom, so it is not based of 1.09. You are running v1.08.
[Vega Android Development] unowho:
If you haven't already: Go to applications»manage and clear cache for email.

Should stop the FCs but requires you to setup email accounts again.

I like this Rom but don't like the email app that much (plus I like to get my work email) so just installed the normal email app instead.

Some nice touches.
[Vega Android Development] tony_k55:
can you send the mail.apk to antonio@kanton.sh ?

thank you!
[Vega Android Development] dopeh:
Thanks for bringing another rom to the vega! Must say it runs very smooth indeed.

I do have the same problem with the email app, though, for some reason exchange seems unable to connect.

Thanks for the effort of putting it together, nice job.

Have trouble emailling apps so...

Is that a command I enter into windows?

It's OK people, I reflashed stock, reinstalled clockworkmod and my previous backups were still there.

I can now restore to MCR8 or CM7.

Great fun this, it has to be said.

Still can't get market on CM7 though :(

Ah right is it possible to downgrade the rom from 1.09? as it stays the same when i installed mcr r8??
[Vega Android Development] Bennji:
Hi all,

I tried installing this ROM using Clockwork Mod and when it rebooted it got stuck during the honeycomb boot sequence and never got started, I tried switching off and on again a few times but still got stuck in the same place.

I've managed to get back to my other ROMs by reflashing stock and reinstalling Clockwork Mod but would still like to try this ROM, any idea what I need to do to get it to work?

ps - how do I remove ROM recoverys in Clockwork Mod, I've got about 7 in my list and I only ever use 2?

Thanks for your help
[Vega Android Development] bakedecake:
You use Rom Manager to remove unwanted backups, or you can just browse to the clockworkmod folder on your sd card and delete them in there.

BTW, the google apps (market) for CM7 is here http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/ just flash it from clockworkmod
[Vega Android Development] Bennji:
Great, thanks mate.

Any ideas what I did wrong with this ROM?

Solved, i downloaded it again and installed, it worked this time..

I like
[Vega Android Development] matthijskox:
Like this ROM very much, however, i don't like the background of the text input screens and some of the drop-down boxes are hard to read because of the textures used. Is there any way to change text input fields to plain white and to replace the textures for the drop-down boxes to stock?
[Vega Android Development] Willy130683:
Hi,

I totally agree with matthijskox. Think the blue overlay should have some kind of transparency, but it didn't have really ;)

But except this issues I really like this Rom and appreciate your work, go on with this stuff.

[Vega Android Development] mintvilla:
hi

was wandering if anyone can help me.

i currently have an advent vega on order that should be here on monday, i have a htc desire with s-off running cm7 so i sorta know what am doing with android.

When i get the vega, this was my plan, just wanna make sure am doing everything right.

Install visionary to root the device. (can i assume it comes with a built in file manager?)

install rom manager (either by internet or emailing the app to my self using root installer from my htc desire)

flash clockworkmod recovery

place this rom onto sd card, then use rom manger to flash rom via sd card.

then presto, everything is sorted device loads up with this rom, and i have all google apps?
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
Everything sound right but there is a tool on modaco..search vega tools,its a click tool to do everything you need to do. no need to install visionary,you can install clockwokmod with just one click on the vega tools and its got alot of useful stuff too. you might want to check it out before your vega arrive.
[Vega Android Development] mintvilla:
ah cheers, yeah that looks like a nifty little programme. Will report back once my vega has arrived and i get everything sorted.
[Vega Android Development] mintvilla:
just wandered if this rom is now dead? i really like the honeycomb look of this rom, but with newer roms being updated and this hasnt for quite some time now, just wandering isit worht going to another rom which will have more support?

ps thanks for all the hardwork youve put in to make our vega's come alive.
