KA7 has voodoo lagfix because people complained that kb1 was causing launcher pro to hesitate. In the thread they talk about flashing kb1 back but to disable the lagfix. Personally, I have flashed several different modems and not had to worry about that. Let me see if there is info in that thread...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master&Slave™:
Yea plug it in when its at 5%

and try flashing a different modem, they really have an effect on battery drain because they effect how your device connects to the network.

Go here and pick a modem for your firmware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868774

Kernals make a big difference to, search the dev forums for them.

Mix and match modems and kernals for your best experience

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadhoard:
If I am not mistaken, I am currently using KB1, as long as the baseband version of T959UVKB1 means I am using KB1 modem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sghsgh11:
You're right. I went back and reread the thread. Then I would narrow it down to either something running in the background or you just might need to do the "reset" for the battery. Lots of info on that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadhoard:
So...I take it I was right on what modem I am on?!?!? Also, what do you mean by "Reset of the battery"?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sghsgh11:
In recovery mode, wipe battery status. There is a procedure to do it right though. Run a quick search for it. Yeah its ka7 kernel, modem is kb1. The lag fix is relevent for the kernel, sorry for the confusion.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master&Slave™:
First of all dude, how about take in consideration whats using the power of the battery then decide on whats right and whats wrong.

First of all even if you followed those steps on that link you posted, none of it matters because theres different kernals and modems that effect battery life, not to mention the ROMs themselves.

My advice come from many sources here at xda that say you should actually let your phone get that low and then charge it back up to get it at a complete charge.

and you know what it actually works!!

After i do that with every flash my battery turns out pretty great.

So Mr so know alot, u should feel really dumb for your non-thoughtful post
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master&Slave™:
You can check your modem by going to settings/About then scroll down until you see baseband:

Your modem = Last 3 characters

Ex. KA7

And kernal version should be right under that.

EDIT: He ment wipe your battery stats in Clockwork Recovery
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hazeno:
Well guys once again im posting a questino regarding my HD2. Ive been browsing the forums and youtube in regards to flashing my HD with wm6.5 to WP7.

Yes i know its going to be buggy but tbh 6.5 is horrible :S Now my question is , Which ROM is reccomended? Im leaning towards http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944995&page=51 as this rom shows GREAT promise. And looks about right. Few questions that ARENT highlighted in the post.

GPRS / HSDPA working?

WIFI Working?

What shall i be prepared to find WONT be working. Also my HD only has a 176MB Internal memory. Obviously 512MB Flash :P

Will i have to downgrade anything as these are my software stats atm.

OS Version

5.2.21913 ( 21913.5.0.94)

Manilla Version

2.5.20181527.0

ROM Version

3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE

Radio Version

2.15.50.14

PB8100 SS-BC

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

CotullaHSPL

My phone is an insurance replacement that isnt bound to Tmobile UK anymore. So im not worried about voiding my warranty. Im worried about bricking as my Insurance wont cover that :P

In summary : Which ROM , Any Thing need Upgrading / Downgrading , 2gb SD Card That Ok size wise? Any thing i should be prepared to NOT have working. **** When i need to activate my LIVE Services what if he asks for my IMEI Number? Shall i hangup and redial or give him my HD2's IMEI?

Thanks for the replies and if i have broken any rules please point them out to me. But I want to be PERFECTLY certain that my choice for WP7 is the right one. As im not eligble for an upgrade for another 12 months * 24 Month Contracts FAIL *
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Now that´s funny that you get a phone with HSPL - this actually voids your warranty if you send your device to a service center. In other words: Even if you would do nothing right now, you would risk to not get any warranty since HSPL is already on your device.

Or, did you flash HSPL yourself already? Anyway, doesn´t matter here.

As long as the data you listed are 100% accurate, you´re absolutely fine and ready to flash either WP7 or an Android NAND build - because you do have HSPL 2.08 plus the correct Radio ROM already.

Now, you´d have to install MAGLDR 1.13 (tutorial here), and then the WP7 ROM of your choice (I would take one which comes with all Chevron stuff built-in, means those ROMs are jailbroken already). The one you mention runs perfectly here, no problems at all.

Remember, if you want to use Live services, you´ll still need an activation code from Microsoft.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
Most everything works in wp7... multitouch is kinda buggy and you only get 2 point multitouch while native wp7 phones have 4 point touch. Other than that, it will work about the same as a native wp7 phone. All the hardware works.. wifi, bluetooth, gps, phone and data. 2gb memory card is fine if that's all the memory you want. But just a warning, wp7 can be very picky about what kind of memory card it'll accept... since it actually uses the sd card as non-removable main memory, it needs cards that has a good random access speed. Give your card a try... if it works and doesn't make wp7 lag or randomly restart, then you're fine. But if it doesn't work, you're going to want to get a new card... sandisk class 2 or 4 seem to most consistently work ok.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hazeno:
Thanks tictac - after alot of INTENSE reading done today while the missus took care of the little one i have deemed a few answers to ALOT of my above questions.

Now you say i alreadyhave HSPL installed. Now NO i didnt install this. As i mentioned in my previous post this is an Insurance replacement. Now after digging around on site ive found another user who also had HSPL already installed on a replacement lol. Supposedly the reason is Suppliers sell 'refurbs' and 'send backs' to insurance companies and they dish these out. I must of got one that somebody had started to hack , and deemed it not worthy. Ive gone with the Xbmod version atm. Only due to the MASS amounts of response. and MYGOD thanks for posting the tutorial on Magldr installing. Ive been having ALOT of trouble getting it going.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hazeno:
Well , Everything is installed with NO hickups. Also have rather more internal Memory spare compared to when i was using Winmo6.5! Now i have a few questions once again.

I obviously want to Use LIVE services. But ive rang support around 4 times and each time they have asked me for an IMEI number. Now this i cant give obviously. I dont suppose there is a workaround for UK customers? And as its an 0844 number it isnt cheap :S

Also - Seen as chevron is already installed do i just follow the usual steps to get live going once i do manage to get an Activation code.

Ok - 1 Other Problem NO WIFI!? Is this the same in all releases?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
I sent you a private message. Yes, once you get activation code, just put it in phone and you should be good to go.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
Once you get an activation Key just try to sign to live in the market place.. It will say that you cant sign in then take you to another page to enter the key once its verified your good to go... WiFi Does work its just that the MAC Address is not right and changes on every restart
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hazeno:
Aye , That seems logical. Just so annoying trying to get attached to WiFi atm. Wont even find my router :S And EVERYTHING finds it.

Also i have one more problem. When i turn my phone on i have 150MB of free Phone storage , But after 10 Minutes of Use i am down to 5mb and keep getting 'your running low on storage'. Now i had this same problem with my 6.5 randomly telling me im low on storage when im doing nothing.

Is the phone Bugged? Or is the OS bugged?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
I would suggest first trying a different WP7 ROM... if the same thing happens then its your phone...

if not do a Task29 an put MAGLDR (if removed) and flash WP7 again
[Captivate General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This is not a guarantee of battery life extension or performance. These are merely steps (in most cases) to possibly help prolong and restore battery longevity.

First lets understand something about battery charging. The most common mistake is to overcharge a battery. While one is inclined to charge when they see the low battery message, overcharging is detrimental to the battery. This is not good for the life expectancy of your cell phone battery, especially if you are expecting longer life from your battery. Over charging heats the battery, and drains its life expectancy.

Second, it would appear that after flashing (ROM’s, Kernel’s etc.) multiple times, your battery might not hold a charge all that well. Trying these steps may help improve battery life.

> Turn the phone on. Plug in the charger (not the USB to computer) and charge completely> Disconnect the charger and turn off the phone> Once completely shut down, plug the charger back into the phone. Let the phone completely charge, while phone is off. In some cases the phone may give a tone when charged. You can check its status by touching the volume up or down> Once again unplug the phone from the charger> These next steps are curcial. 1.Turn the phone on (give it time to boot completely) 2. Power it off again. 3. Connect to the charger once again. 4. Let charge to full one more time. Unplug the phone!

In most cases, this procedure need only be done once.

Remember

turn off bluetooth, intranet and other applications when not in use. These accessories pu a tremendous drain on a cell phones battery life. This is why they should be turned off, when not in use.
[Captivate General] cumanzor:
The old battery recalibration trick?
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
i feel like i do this every time i recharge my battery because every time i charge to 100% then turn it off and plug it in, it takes another 5 min to charge to 100 while its off. Literally, every time i bump charge it.
[Captivate General] AReynante:
Mhmm, an explanation of the bump charge. Been written here before, but eh. Maybe someone lost theirs. I lost my txt file with the instructions a while back lol.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
The way I see it these instructions only help to provide a more accurate battery count. Whether the battery is displaying correctly or not, juice in the battery is juice in the battery. Nothing more nothing less. This whole battery issue is ridiculous.

I think it'd be a good idea to remove the battery icon from the notification bar all together.
[Captivate General] delugeofspam:
No. Your phone has software in it to detect how much battery life is left for a variety of reasons; it turns more battery-intense functionality off at 5%, the camera for instance, and keeps enough battery power so that it can run its shutdown procedure, instead of just dying and losing whatever's in memory at the time.

You also don't want your phone thinking that 19% battery is 1% and turning off or telling you to charge it, as charging a battery that isn't fully discharged is a great way to lose long-term battery life. Additionally, how much would it suck if your phone software thought that 75% was 100% and stopped charging? You could then be leaving for the day with 3/4 of your battery, thinking it was full.

There are plenty of reasons to want this to be as accurate as possible. Unless you just don't give a crap if your phone is usable or not ;)
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
The "software" won't ever be off by more than 10%.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Not true with lithium ion batteries. They don't have charge memory.

[citation needed]
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
I was having all kinds of issues with my battery draining too fast. I unplugged at 7:30AM and by 10:30AM it would be at 60%. I tried the bump charge and all that, but then I realized "It's the apps, stupid!" I started running a task killer after I unplugged it, and now I'm making it to noontime and I'm only down to 80%.

TL:DR: Keep your apps in check, they are what eat your battery.
[Captivate General] Steve2624:
A few days ago my phone shut off after draining the battery - before it shut off the battery was less than 1%. i let it sit for ten minutes or so then turned it on. - it showed 16%.
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i do this ALL the time!
[Captivate General] jeordy:
If you are running a custom rom it is also good to delete the battery charge stats when booting back up after step 4. If you have CWM just boot into recovery, go to advanced, then clear battery stats.

There is a way to clear it if you don't have CWM, but I don't remember what it is and I think most people have CWM anyways.

[Captivate General] clydethecash:
I check my apps frequently. One day my weather widget was going nuts and was using GPS non stop. I pulled my phone out at lunch and the battery was in the yellow. Granted I haven't seen that happen again it has made me reconsider even using apps/ widgets with GPS
[Captivate General] majortool:
widgets kill battery. I had several pages of widgets and I had to wipe by phone, remarkable how much "better" the battery was after that. Weather widgets look great but it costs to run them.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
I've a feeling it has less to do with the actual widget and more to do with their constant updating when there is a poor or nonexistant connection.

I would love some advice as a noob here. I've only had my Cappy for a little over 2 weeks. I've done the battery calibrate trick, but still don't see very good battery life. I unplugged from the charger at 100% at 10pm last night and left the phone on all night. Wifi and GPS were turned off. Beautiful Widgets is set to update weather every hour. The phone received 7 sms messages during the night. When the alarm went off at 6:30am I was at 70%. It's 10am now, so it's been off the charger for 12 hours. Here is what I show:

Voice Calls 34%

Cell Standby 23%

Phone Idle 16%

Display 15%

Android System 4%

Beautiful Widgets 3%

Android OS 3%

Android Core Apps 2%

antivirus 2%

Would anyone suggest Advanced Task Killer or Juice Defender?
[Captivate General] tyrsius:
There are some good tips for prolonging and caring for your Battery here: (Can't post links, google search: site:arstechnica.com battery life ask ars)

However, cell phone batteries rarely run over $30 (I have seen capivate batteries as low as $13), if you just always fully charge it you will still see a good 8-12 months out of it, and then just buy a new one. $30 a year is worth it to me to just let the thing fully charge so that I can use it for longer.
[Captivate General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL ANY OF THESE BEFORE READING

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-view-on-task-managers-for-android/

If you fully charge and run the battery, done several times, the battery will eventually run better. Surprisingly, there is a "break in" period for the battery.
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
I appreciate the advice on the task killers and such. I don't use one, and after reading that stuff, I won't. I pulled my phone off the charger yesterday at about 1pm. By the time I played some games, did some web browsing, made some calls and did some texting, it was still at 70% when I went to bed at around 10pm. This morning at 7am, I was shocked to find that it was still at 67%! I don't have a clue what was different. It typically hogs up 25-30% overnight, but this time it only did 3%. I wish I knew what was different. This is so weird!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durkbeef:
Hey everyone!

I have, what i hope to be, an easily solvable issue.

I am studying abroad and my school gave me a free nokia crap phone which is great for making phone calls. I also happened to bring with me my G2 (unlocked) and have a seperate plan with just data, I just carry these two phones around and the system has pretty much worked fine for me.

However, I realized today that I coud forward the incoming calls from my crap phone to my G2. I like this because since I have a nice phone I kinda wanna use it! I only have one issue, outgoing calls. If I could set up outgoing call forwarding to my crap phone, I could just leave it in my room and just carry around the G2.

TLDR, is it possible to make calls through the G2 and have it routed through my other phone number?

[Nook Color General] edison:
I've seen a number of reports of rooted 1.1s being reset to factory after receiving a notification to the effect of "There was a problem with authorization. Please wait while we reset your device", after which the NC is wiped.

I heard this from a couple of friends whose NCs I nootered and initially thought it was due to my nootering via a nandroid from a possibly bad uSD, but I've come across two other cases in the wild.

So far it appears to be a wipe of /data since apps installed into /system are apparently still there.

Since the forums aren't filled with threads about this from panicked users, I'm wondering how wide-spread the issue is. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has nootered NCs via nandroid, but would that cause this issue? Maybe dalvik cache not being cleared after a restore? Would there be anything device-specific that would break?

Anyone else experienced this or heard about it?
[Nook Color General] tokyomonster:
It's been discussed previously, you may be able to find the threads with search. I've had this happen two or three times, and it was only after tinkering with hidden system settings. I don't think B&N is intentionally remotely resetting any Nook Colors.
[Nook Color General] RasputinAXP:
I believe it has to do with Titanium Backup. Someone can point you in the right direction. Apparently restoring /system with Ti will get you in trouble because it uses 'old' keys so the stamps don't match, and going to the Nook Market will hose the device.
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
I have only had this happen to me if I restored any of the BN stock applications. If I only restore user apps/data, no wipes. There are plenty of threads around with this. Some report it is more random, but I'm not convinced. It appears that BN apps look for something related to authentication that includes some kind of date stamp: mismatch = reset.

Homer
[Nook Color General] edison:
I'm inclined to agree, although hearing of two cases all of a sudden after months of no issues with previously nootered NCs makes me wonder.

What hidden system settings were you tinkering with?
[Nook Color General] edison:
So you're suggesting restoring a nandroid of /system is what's triggering this?
[Nook Color General] xboxexpert:
Get off 1.1 and hop on 2.2 :)
[Nook Color General] racks11479:
I'd like to chime in and confirm your issue. I did a nandroid backup of my stock 1.1.0 rooted. Then I flashed nookie froyo to my emmc to test it out. Didn't like the interface much. So I tried restoring through my nandroid backup.

"There was a problem with authorization. Please wait while we reset your device"

Tried it three times and same issue. I had to restore to stock and reroot. And all is fine since. Sucks cause I thought that's what nandroid backups were for.
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
Yes. That is what happened to me. I think the key is to backup your user apps/data and then unregister/wipe before doing the upgrades. Then reregister and finally restore your user apps/data.

Problem with 2.2 or 3.0, no B&N stock reader or other stock features. Unless you know something different.

Homer
[Nook Color General] edison:
This really makes me wonder if the issue is caused by corrupt nandroids. I can't get any of these new generic 8GB uSDs to make a working NF but other "brand" uSDs work fine. Before I found this out, I made the CWR boot + backups on one of these cards. If the uSD is flaky, then it stands to reason that the restored files might be flaky which in turn could cause a reset.

Alternatively, if there's device-specific info in the nandroids, like SNs or device IDs (the stuff that's saved in the rombackup.zip on p3), that was restored to a different NC, I could see how it could get confused and puke. But to restore to the same NC and have issues? Sounds fishy.

When you restored to stock, was it 1.1.0 stock? How'd you do the restore? 8x failed boots? dd a restore image? One of the CWR factory zips?
[Nook Color General] racks11479:
Yeah, I just flashed the stock 1.1.0 CWM image from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945838
