The faster you make the phone go the more power you use darkest Rom are ok but messed with too much
[Galaxy S I9000 General] autophone:
I got really bad battery life for the first few weeks using darky. But now the battery life seems to be longer and more stable and average. I did do calibrations a few times tho.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Soniboy84:
You won't get better battery with Darky ever.

I played around quite a lot, 9.2, 9.3, calibration, fresh system, darky rom configurator, different kernels, lagfixes, no matter what, my battery drain was mad. It's a quick and smooth rom, but that's the downside of it.

I switched back to Doc's rom via kithen with same kernel, and quess what? No calibration, no playing around, nothing special I did and battery life is brilliant! Of course it lags here and there, that's Doc's drawback(no lagfix applied tho)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
You will often find that if you flash a number of roms you get battery drain . Apart from the actual rom itself you need to flash to a clean firmware reset battery stats use a suitable modem charge battery once using bump charge method then wait a few weeks for it to settle down .

I am using rom kitchin since Darkys killed my battery life months ago .

JPY and JPY modem no complaints about excess battery life .

But i did flash back to clean stock before custom rom and wipe everything .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ryouza:
but this is true even if i use a kernel mod.. instead of a full flash? i think that a stock rom with custom kernel made for battery lasting is better... or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pcphobic:
Have u all tried Battery Bump Charging?

Hi, I am not a Galaxy S owner but I am doing a research on this issue for a friend.

I am a Milestone user and I am a ROM slut (I flash many ROMs back and forth)

So I am very familiar with cases where after flashing a new ROM, your 100% fully charged phone is actually 60%/

Here is a posting on a few ways you can do a battery bump charge. When you perform this battery bump charging technique, u will be surprised to see that your 100% fully charged battery is actually not 100%

[Defy Themes and Apps] hah2110:
That is the app thread but I don't see instructions.
[Defy Themes and Apps] psixda:
Yes, there are three steps and for each one you can choose the CPU voltage (vsel) and frequency.

You can choose between two governors: performance (always at max freq and voltage) and on demand (freq and voltage scaling).

Sent from my MB525
[Defy Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Ok but how do I know what voltage is best? What frequency is best? I read the item about phone ringing:

________________

update7:

when i set my defy to 300mhz while screen is off then when a phonecall is incoming the defy is so slow that it takes ages for the screen to go on....

sometime it takes 2-3 ring befor i can answer the call

so setvsel set it to maximum speed on phoneringing befor the screen is on!!

________________

Is he saying he did that in code or an action is needed by the user to handle this? Mine still takes 3 seconds for the screen to turn on.
[Defy Themes and Apps] Peglezn:
its preety much the same as overclocking cpu on pc ..but easier

just try ...each chip is different ..and it depends on the rom aswell

phone will reboot if ull set it 2low ...or ull get some app closing errors or stuff like that

safe voltages to start would be 300/20 600/40 1000/56 ...then go lower
[Defy Themes and Apps] e-prast:
So if I set it too low then phone will reboot?

What is the safest settings if I am still using stock rom?
[Defy Themes and Apps] sp8y:
Yes if you go too low on the vsel for that frequency then the phone will reboot - just make sure at first you don't have setvsel configured to "apply at boot" until you have discovered your stable settings.

As for stable settings then maybe start with the first vsel & lower it until it reboots then you know it's too low & you need to go up higher by 2 vsel or so.

It would be easier to do each vsel at different times so you know which one causes the reboot.

Just for info my settings are:

300/18

700/32

1100/56

Up_threshold 75%.

I could possibly go lower on the 300 & 700 but I'm happy as they are. The 1100 on mine is set at the lowest stable vsel I could get.

As mentioned all cpu are different & what settings that work for one person may not be any good for another.
[Defy Themes and Apps] e-prast:
Ok thanks

I am still using the default clock but i'm lowering the vsel a bit. I'll start tweaking untill get the best result. I hope I can reach 1000 max. BTW what is the threshold for? Mine still in default.
[Defy Themes and Apps] sp8y:
Threshold is the % load that the cpu reaches before it switches to the next higher frequency.
[Defy Themes and Apps] bobbyphoenix:
Just for example sake here are my settings. Actually the only one I changed was #3. 1300@70. All the rest is left at default. I just wanted a bit of a quicker device, and changing just this one setting gave me what I wanted. Very stable and snappy now. My Quadrant scores are in the low 1700s. (oh and I'm on the official 2.2.1, but nothing else is changed)
[Defy Themes and Apps] hah2110:
How is your battery? Do you use the stability test to determine your lowest values?
[Defy Themes and Apps] sp8y:
Battery lasts a long time for me could get between 2-3 days on a full charge but i normally top up the battery every day and don't let it run out.

As for the stability test i did use it when there was a one built into the setvsel app but not for long. I just adjusted my settings then used the phone for a while to make sure it was ok.
[Defy Themes and Apps] hah2110:
How do I know how high I can go on over clock?
[Defy Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Bump
[Defy Themes and Apps] psixda:
Just try it; but generally top frequency is 1200 otherwise you have to set too high vsel with consequences on temperature and stability.

[Defy Themes and Apps] 5starfish:
i have seen ppl use 1350 hz, its pretty risky.
[Defy Themes and Apps] bobbyphoenix:
Running stock ROM 2.2.1. I'm currently using 300@33, 700@52, 1300@70. Threshold at 86%, Apply at boot, Apply SDCard Speedfix, Limit to VSel1 While Screen is off, Limit to VSel2 on <10%, and Set Up Threshold to 99% at <10%. Temp ranges from 87F to 112F with 112F after about an hour on playing Angry Birds. Most of the time with "normal" use (emails, texts, calls) it stays below 90F. I get 15 to 20 hours with heavy use. Screen brightness is at 40%, display on time for 20 hours is usually around four hours. The phone is very stable and very smooth. No freezes or resets.
[Defy Themes and Apps] thomsch:

[Defy Themes and Apps] freemanlowell:
My settings, running the fantastic Barebones 1.5 (based on 2.2.2 Nordic) ROM, are 28/300 - 40/600 - 50/800. Threshold is 90%.

The phone seems to run at 300 or 600 almost all the time, and is plenty fast in so doing. Some times when I really need more speed I set the top limit to 80/1300 and this is entirely stable and a bit faster, but not worth running all the time.

What I'm wondering is what are people's *lowest* settings for stepping 1? I haven't yet gone below 28/300 - has anyone else undervolted and lived to tell the tale? How low have you been able to set it, and has the battery life improved?

Does anyone think that undervolting is dangerous or harmful to the hardware at all? :confused:
[Defy Themes and Apps] sp8y:
I used to run 18/300 - 32/700 - 56/1100 with a 75% threshold. With this (I'm guessing the low 300 setting) I noticed a slight delay when the phone wakes up for an incoming call.

Now that I've flashed the Nordic sbf I've tweaked it a bit & now run 22/300 - 36/700 - 58/1100 with a 85% threshold & seems to run fine with these settings - nice and quick with no lag at all.

To be honest I don't notice any performance difference from the 75% & 85% thresholds so will probably leave that as it is.
[Defy Themes and Apps] rafaccb:
On the Nordic rom, running at 18/300, 32/600, 52/1000, treshold 80%, all is smooth, once in a while a slight delay when waking up, but hardly noticeable.

First off, I have no clue how this got changed for you because I've owned four android phones and none of them have done that. Whatever though. I don't know of a way to change it on stock. CM7 allows you to change it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafael Cadina:
@kenvan19

How do you do that on CM7?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dls5375:
It seems to have changed with the 2.3.3 update. Most likely a glitch as it now takes you to the same place that the contacts app does. I didn't notice it at first because I use launcher pro which still takes me to the dialer because I set the shortcut before 2.3.3 there are dialer apps in the market you could try.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Should be in preferences for the dialer. I can't remember what it specifically is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafael Cadina:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckao:
I found the answer! :D

Step by step:

1 - On home screen press Menu

2 - Open Manage apps

3 - Click on Dialer (the green Phone Icon)

4 - On section "Launch by default" click on "Clear defaults" button

5 - Go to home screen again (press Home button)

6 - Open the dialer and open Phone tab

7 - Dial any number and press the green phone icon to call this number

8 - At this moment you will see the dialog message "Complete action using" (Dialer or SkypeOut) -- Humm..I have Skype installed here.

9 - Choose the Dialer and check the box "Use by default for this action" and save.

10 - Now you can hang up and smile :D

11 - Press Phone Icon again and you will see the Dialer instead of Favorites Tab or Call Log Tab.

It is a Google's fault. There is no metion on Android 2.3 Manual about this procedure.

And I found another bug, I guess. My Dialer is opening Phone Tab, like is expected to be. But I had added some favorite contacts.

After that, the Dialer behavior changed and now it opens Call Log tab instead of Phone tab. :mad:

So, I had to execute the steps again.

[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:

[Epic 4G General] jersap:
As everybody knows, there are three types of feedback which the Epic delivers to users (aside from the blinking light). They are: Silent (no sound or vibrate), Vibrate, and Sound.

Currently, the settings only allow for: Silent Mode, Vibrate Mode, or volume mode with vibrate.

This makes sense to me but what doesn't make sense is why we cant have all three in one option. We have to go into settings and change them every time we want to go from silent mode (then can add or take away volume by clicking side button) to vibrate mode (then can add or take away volume by clicking side button).

Instead the MOD I'm requesting is to enable the sound up side button to go from:

Silent to Vibrate to Sound Up

and Sound Down button to go from:

Sound to Vibrate to Silent

Is this possible?

Would any other users like this feature?

Thank you for reading and posting!

(Currently using Midnight ROM 4.2 BYOR)
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
If nobody comes up with a mod, you may consider using something like Widgetsoid to place a homescreen widget which allows you to switch between Sound/Vibrate/Silent.
[Epic 4G General] dennispg:
i could swear this was how it worked when i was on DI18 Eclair. Ever since i upgraded to EB13 Froyo, theres a new button for silent/vibrate in the notifications dropdown next to wifi, bluetooth, gps, 4g.

now when i use the volume buttons it goes straight from sound on, to which ever combination of silent/vibrate is configured in the settings rather than toggling between vibrate and sound as well.

i have resorted to using widgets to quickly switch, but would love a mod to let the vol buttons do what im sure they used to do... (maybe im crazy and they never did this though)
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I use extended controls. On top of the standard controls from the power widget that's our loaded into the rom I had an option for silent and vibrate and a couple other things. Honestly this widget is alot easier then the pull down cause off all the stuff I use it for

Thank you all for posting your thoughts!

I ended up using extended controls. It was great advice - highly customizable. Don't know how I've used my phone so long without it! Highly reccomend extended controls.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Your welcome. I've been recommending it since the eclair days in my theme threads. Here's a screen shot just incase anyone else is interested
[Epic 4G General] phil.6687:
I would definitely like to see a mod to bring this functionality back. It is ridiculous to change something as fundamental as this, every phone i've had knew the difference between silent and vibrate and both were easily accesible.

Adding a widget works, but it is a clunky work-around and not everyone wants a huge power control widget or an extra button on their homescreen.

[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
If you buy the xoom from ebay or even get it as a gift, will you still be able to use the motorola 1 year limited warranty or even be able to upgrade the radio to LTE 4g?

I have been reading that the warranty only covers the original purchaser, and the LTE 4g is only for the original purchase. Is there anyway around this?

For instance, could you still get it fixed/ upgraded if you have the original purchase receipt?

This sucks for people who get the Xoom as a gift or something.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Usually you'll need to have the original receipt with proof of purchase date. The receipt also usually needs to be from an "authorized" dealer, ie, not eBay, not a discount warehouse, not some guy out of his car.

If you have the original receipt, your chances are good.

Some companies also have a policy that if the device is released on X date, any warranty claims up to 1 year after that date are by default valid. However, you bet they'll want to see the receipt regardless to make sure you're the original purchaser.

One of the reasons I don't buy items like this on eBay unless I expect to completely throw my money away.

Edit:

Also, most warranties require some kind of registration of the device within X period of time. It's illegal in some states I believe but common practice in most. This gives them marketing information about their product, a chance to up-sell extended warranties,

know who the original purchaser of device X with Y serial number is, as well as where they bought it and when.

I think ASUS has a motherboard / video card warranty of 90 days, but if you register the device within the first 30 they extend the warranty to 1 or 3 years. BFG tech did a lifetime warranty if you registered the device.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:

[Xoom General] Mokele Mbembe:
I check the phone (Defy with suddenly dead earpiece) with Moto's online troubleshooting tools (and the tools show that the phone is under warranty), and was prompted to send it for repair. The shipping instructions say that I must "include proof of purchase (if required)". How should I deal with that? Include a note that this phone is a gift (it is), or just do not put anything? Should I pre-register the phone (and they may ask me how and when and where was it purchased) prior to sending it?
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
this was my original question too actually. Do you have a copy if the receipt? If not, I would start the process to send it back and then mention it was a gift or say you lost it. There really is nothing else for you to do but try. Even if you had the receipt. The shipping info on that proofbof purchase would be different than your own, but maybe you could just say you moved addresses since you bought it.
