At 9:00 EST, I took it off the charger from overnight charging. Since then, I watched 30 min of last nights Royal Pains xvid release in Rock player, played (give or take) 2 hours of Zenonia, took notes in a class with documents to go, typing with the screen on the whole time for 40 min, browsed Pulse for 30 min, Played Angry Birds for 10 min, and did some web browing/downloaded files from market for 20 min.

It is now 4:45 EST with 54% battery life left, and brightness is at about 75%. I turned off mobile network data since I never even activated it. I kept track of time intentionally so I would know approximately how much real world usage I could actually get.

Thats approx 4 hours of usage leaving me with a little more than half the battery. Call it what you want, moderate or heavy.. I wouldn't call it light use though. To me that is pretty good, and the battery level would probably be significantly higher if it was at say 50% brightness.

I also don't know about other people, but I don't have any force closes, except for the rabbit game that brings me back to the home screen every time I finish a level.

[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
What I love most about the battery life of the Xoom is that it doesn't drain much when idle. I just left it home unplugged for three hours and it's still at 100% :)
[Xoom General] initial_k:
Is the battery on the xoom easily replaceable? I know in 2 or 3 years, the battery will not last as long and I would like an option to simply buy a $30-50 dollar batter and just replacement myself without having to send it in for service (ipad)
[Xoom General] aohus:
ifixit did a tear down and it looks as though its possible to get to the battery, albeit you'd have to unscrew up to 10 screws to get to it. and im very sure these batteries can be purchased separately, if not officially, then via eBay. :)

Some more battery results

I posted earlier that I went 8 hours on standby overnight and the battery % was still 100% when I woke up. I still have not plugged in to the charger and since I do not want to root my tablet yet to load Shootme, I took a photo of my current battery use. I consider this light use and many of the things I did with the device do not show in the list such as Angry Birds, Wordfeud, Web browsing and more. All I can say is that I am very impressed with the battery on the Xoom!

20 hours unplugged and at 66%.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
so here is a shot of a nonstop session. Mostly web browsing, mp3 downloading and transfering about 2100 songs to the internal memory while still using the xoom. Used nonstop

Pretty damn impressive to me. Screen was at about 35% brightness . Too this shot at 15% battery
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Can't you change the user agent?
[Xoom General] keitht:
Yes, you can change it in the browser by going to about:debug (which won't seem like it is doing anything). Then go to browser settings, choose Debug and then tap "uastring" to change to desktop. Works great.

As for the complaint about blurry text, it is crystal clear. However, if you are running a phone app not designed for tablet, it gets stretched and can make the text look blurry. That is not a problem with the screen hardware.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brownbay:
Do you have stock recover?

What version of 2.2 are you coming from? You need to be coming from a completely stock FRG83G with NO modifications to the stock ROM. No core components removed either (ie. Amazon MP3).

If you're trying to flash from custom recovery (Amon RA 2+), when you select install from zip, there is another list time that allows you to toggle signature verification. You would need to turn signature verification off.

That's at least what worked for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daft.71:
You can't use the update.zip of Gingerbread unless your Nexus One is already at 2.2.2, which the Videotron's Nexus One aren't. You'll have to follow the procedures (I don't have a link handy) to update your phone to the lastest version of Froyo before being able to use the Gingerbread update.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kernellius:
Ain't true

You don't need to update it to 2.2.2.

Follow these instructions

1. androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/

2. Download this rom : android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/656099b119f8.signed-passion-ota-102588.656099b1.zip

3. Rename it to update.zip and put it on the sdcard.

4. Go into recovery and Flash zip from sdcard, selected update.zip

If your phone fail to load after all these steps, load in bootloader and clear storage.

I had some issue during the process, at some point i installed HBOOT so I'm not sure if it is required or not you might want to install that too.

look at this thread for some download links :

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cocytan:
Hi all,

Bought myself a lovely new Desire HD yesterday and have managed to successfully root and all that fun stuff. Have reached the stage where I need to install the clockwork Mod Recovery through Rom Manager before installing a new Rom.

However, Rom Manager won't let me do this as it gives a message saying I need a 'stable internet connection' or that my sd card is full - both of which aren't true as my net connection is fine, and my sd card has 14 GB free. So I'm wondering if this is because I live in China and the Great Firewall is blocking Rom Manager from downloading the appropriate files.

Is there any other way in which I can get Clockwork Mod on my phone, or does it HAVE to be done through Rom Manager? I'd be grateful for any help people can give!

:D

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msinkovich:
Has anyone tried the other modems to work with the stock froyo to see if they work better?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
Not tried any myself since flashing KB1, but when on JJ4, trying any non AT&T Froyo modem.bin would result in a loss of sound during voice calls. HSUPA however would work under such a condition. Too bad I need this device to work as a phone first. To get a non AT&T modem, you needed to go with a non AT&T kernel, and then bluetooth voice would be static, so you also need a non AT&T framework. With a native ROM, you are pretty much HSDPA only, unless someone figures out how to patch in necessary code to enable the required handshaking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
I tried some other modems, but none had working sound in phone calls. You might be able to get vibrant modems to work, but then you'd lose 3g :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJerman:
When I was first working on HSUPA for the Captivate, I found that no alternate modem worked properly on the Captivate software. I believe this is due to the code being "wired up" a little differently. Every alternate modem lacked sound in phone calls and the only way around this was to use an I9000 (or Vibrant, etc) ROM with a matching modem. I think everyone stopped trying to find out exactly why the other modems don't work with Captivate ROMs once it reoriented kernels solved any issues we had with running I9000 ROMs on the Captivate. It was just a lot easier to use an I9000 ROM with an I9000 modem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
What we need is some kind of spreadsheet with ROMs down the side and modems across the top, and 3 different symbols representing Data, Voice, and GPS. You would colour each one RED, YELLOW or GREEN depending on how well it performed at that task on a given ROM.

Hi jje,

yes..it shows same query(created me)..sorry for conflicting the thread..:eek:

any way i got short-time work order solution:-

1.connect mobile to system using usb

2.in mobile setting-->wireless and network-->tethering--->enable USB tethering.

3.in system you may get one more "local area connection 2 (or X)", just set ip to 192.168.2.1 and mask 255.255.255.0.

4.just in enable primary Local area connection" enable ICS to "local area connection 2 (or X)"

3.in mobile user terminal emulator to type following cmd.

ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

route add default gw 192.168.2.1 dev usb0

iptables -F

iptables -F -t nat

setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

setprop "net.gprs.http-proxy" ""

4.thats all you will get internet browsing option in mobile.it will work only browsers and you tube.etc... it will not work android market.

5.if your networking having proxy also will work.(if you facing problem try to use proxy application)

Hi android seniors,

i am looking longtime for this solution as feature in ROM like Darkey or insanity(both good mod/rom creators.).etc...

as of now no answers(because they are BC in ROM optimize and performance improvement).

any way this is iptable-nat related operation..

some one helping to invent feature in SGS ROM then very very good.:)

I knew this would happen. Gps worked great the first day, (eb13) and yesterday I noticed no more insta locks but took about 20 seconds after not using it for a few hours.

Woke up this morning, turned on GPS and rode the entire 30 minutes to work without it ever locking on. Only after resetting the gps data once I got to work in gps status did it finally lock.

So sick of this.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
who said it was a ghost.. it's here to stay forever. It's been horrible since day one with this phone.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I can't say the same - for me, leaving WiFi on all day, every day meant I wouldn't get locks. Now they happen within 4-8 seconds, first time, every time, next day, all day. Do you ever actually turn off the GPS? When you did try to lock, did you have good connectivity? Also, what was your flash method?
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Samsungs own app. I'm sick of having to operate this pos platform like it is some god damn rube goldberg contraption. It is a god damn $450 (I paid retail brand new at release) and it should act like one. It has gps and it should god damn work when I need it to work, all the time, every time without having to diddle myself, enter in contra codes, click my heels and rub a magic lamp.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:

[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
I've been disappointed too with EB13. My GPS still doesn't lock in 3g inside my home, though I have one bar showing. I get lock to 3 meters within a couple seconds if I'm outside. But, even at work (indoors) with 3 bars, I can only lock to within a few hundred meters. Definite, disappointment.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Indoors I can understand. I use it outdoors or mounted in the winsheild of my car all the time. So when it laughs at you by never locking on for a 1/2 an hour with a clear view of the sky is inexcusable.

I'm a former burned Moment owner and have been patient enough with this gps Samsung pulled out of the bottom of a box of Fruit Loops. I bit my tongue until they finally released Froyo.. Froyo is here and it is still a pos. 100% inexcusable.
[Epic 4G General] ilostmypistons:
are you using sprint nav? I have no problems at all on google nav dosnt matter if im indoors or how many bars i have its worked great for 2 days maybe its sprint nav
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
No Google maps, Waze. This is the same crap as before. The longer the uptime on your phone, the worse it gets. I just stood outdoors and couldn't get a lock. Rebooted, stood in same spot and got insta lock. I hadn't rebooted since flashing eb13 until today.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
GPS is still not perfect but I think you'll find that if you use it for a while longer, it's very rare that it doesn't lock instantly.

I was using DK28 since basically the day it was released and I use GPS twice a day, every day. DK28 exhibited this same behavior - 99% of the time it would lock fine, but very occasionally it wouldn't lock at all.

However, unlike DI18, with DK28 you could just use GPS Status to re-download GPS assistance data and then it'd work. So I think what's actually happening in these cases is that it's getting stuck on the download and then giving up. On DI18, even re-downloading wouldn't work because you could never clear the cache without doing a cold start or reboot. EB13 is obviously clearing the cache, it just once in a while doesn't seem to automatically download the new assistance data. This is still a major improvement, even if it's not perfect.

EB13 and DK28 seem to be the same with regard to GPS. I've done a few commutes since installing EB13, and have probably used GPS a total of 10 times or so (including both my normal commute and just testing things out). One time out of those 10 it failed to lock. Downloading assistance data manually solved the problem.

Ill give it time. I'm on edge because of some family health issues and being irrational about nearly everything. Deeeep breath.. :)
[Epic 4G General] carrera997:
Only issue for me is that sometimes it takes 20 seconds to lock indoors. Outdoors it's almost instant with 1 meter accuracy. Been this wasy with DI18, DK28 and now EB13.

That's funny i do all that.. plus I have to hold my hands up and Shout.. "Thunder Cats Hooooo " Then the GPS works. it's embarassing...

shhh. you guys gonna git in trouble. Medic will come by and tell you to break your contract and sell your phone if you don't like it. B/c by his standards, it's ok to have a half-*ssed, sometimes working, no product/accessory support $400 phone with a $60+ monthly plan. It's the coolest.

I'm actually getting sick of complaining about issues with Sprint and this phone. But the GPS was a big selling point in the store (top 5 of why the phone is awesome) and we, Epic owners, got hoodwinked.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
GPs works fine overall..outdoor performance is good and indoor is ok..Don't expect anything from indoor as even my Garmin GPS doesn't always lock indoors..

Right now I think GPS is good overall..at this point I think people are too sensitive about the GPS as they pay attention to it more as it fails or not due to its history..overall though I was traveling, took out my TP2 and GPS always worked but that one time it failed, I then took out my Epic and GPS worked flawlessly...

All phones have GPS issues..as the antennas for GPS is not as good as a standalone due to its size..and technology fails here and there its never flawless...That said the GPS right now is fairly comparable to the other phones...
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
I laughed when I read the last line. Nothing about the GPS on this phone is acceptable or comparable to other current, or even past, phones. I can go geocaching with my Epic and my girlfriend will use her Evo and hers will put this one to shame every single time. I've also used my old Hero and Touch Pro AND even tested my Mogul next to the Epic and it just doesn't compare.

It's a joke that this phone can even be advertised as having a GPS. They should be required to advertise it as "assisted GPS" or some spoof gps because that's what it is. But I guess when you can get away with calling 3mb/s "4G" then you can call this bull$hit GPS.

If it was "good" then I wouldn't complain. I can't get a lock for crap and most the time it just gives up and doesn't even try anymore. The best is when you have the lock, are standing in an open field and lose the lock and the gps just turns itself off. Toggling won't turn it back on, clearing cache won't help and usually, a reboot is required.

Is there an app that makes it lock faster from a cold lock?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Either your unit is defective or there is something wrong with your flash..ironically though Ive heard people use Evo and Epic and say their Evo has horrible GPS while their are geocaching while Epic is spot on...get the drift? I am not saying the Epic is better in terms of GPS, no..but with the EB13 update and if your have proper flash it seems to work flawlessly and accurate so far...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
Right! Under 6.5 this stuff gets presented differently, and by default, 'Input' is disabled, in the 'Personal' section of Control Panel.

In this case:- Delete the following registry key from your device:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input\Redirect]

Then do a soft reset. Under Settings->Personal, the "Input" option now appears. The above post #2 now applies to this option.

In WinMo 6.5 Tabs appear at the top of the screen under the top control bar, as opposed to previous versions, where they appear above the bottom command bar.

You now have the button to delete the saved word list, or just turn the damned annoying thing off altogether. It's your call.
