So calibration is a placebo? Apple suggests it just to appease the idiots?
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
What this article mentions in one place is about "conditioning" the battery which is different. LiOn batteries should fully discharge and recharge with no "memory effect". In other words, you can run them half way down and recharge, or 99% of the way down and recharge and the battery should charge to the same total power.

However, what the original poster is talking about is the phone's battery "stats" - how it reads the battery to determine how much charge is left and reports "25% remaining" or whatever. That can absolutely be changed, because I have seen it get screwed up. For example, I flashed a ROM this fall (don't remember which at this point, and it probably does not matter) and I seemed to be getting amazing battery life. In the first 6 hours of having the phone on, it dropped only 25%, which was great for me. However, I went into a movie and when I came out about 2 hours later the phone was dead. The first 25% took 6 hours and the last 75% took approx 2 hours. THAT was a problem with the battery stats being screwed up.

However, exactly how that is determined is something I do not understand either...
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
You're actually calibrating the rom's battery stats and to the people splitting hairs about the term "calibrating battery" get over yourselves.
[Epic 4G General] cryptworks:
What I understand about this is you have a variable amount of amperage this is one value at full and another at empty (or as empty as android gets). It tracks this against runtine and I think a couple of other variables to determine overall capacity. Each Phone and battery are slightly different. So it is a file that tracks this and is used to determine % or capacity. The recalibration is usually done best by getting a full charge and wipeing battery stats then running it dead to set your full and empty points.

Not super technical but a decent quick answer I hope.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sariamanascar:
Hey guys,

I use Google Voice as my forwarding voicemail. I'm on Sprint. And I've been having a lot of problems with my voicemail for a long time. Thought I'd see if you guys have any idea how to fix.

When people call and I don't want to pick up, the phone will ring several times, stop, then ring another several times again. To the caller, it sounds like the phone is ringing 10+ times, and so most people just think I'm on the other line or my VM is broken and don't leave a message.

In the past, I've tried flashing a sense rom and that usually accomplishes a minor improvement: If people are willing to let the phone ring for 10+ times, Google Voice will kick in with my voicemail. But the issue of the phone ringing forever doesn't seem to be solved. I've called Sprint and they have no clue what to do with a "rooted" phone (I didn't say it was rooted, of course:cool:).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brett1211:
I'm also on sprint and use GV as my voicemail provider. I've had the exact situation you described off-and-on for quite some time. Callers also occasionally get an error message from google saying my number has been disconnected. This is an EXTREMELY frustrating as I really like GV extra functionality yet hate these random problems. I've searched the all over and lots of people seem to have this same issues.

One possible solution that seems to help some (yet sadly not me) is to turn OFF 'Call Screening' via GV's web interface. Settings->Calls->Call Screening

It's supposed to go 'straight to voicemail' whenever your Sprint # forwards the call to the GV #. The GV# isn't supposed to ring at all. (Mine still seems to sometimes)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sariamanascar:
glad to know I'm not alone!

I do have that call screening setting turned off already, sadly. Doesn't seem to make a bit of difference.:(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
seems i read someone post the set the do not disturb option on and it helped.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argonzal:
I had the same problem and I had to change my Google # to fix it.,. Ill try to find the link for instructions and post later
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sariamanascar:
I think enabling "Do Not Disturb" did the trick from the Google Voice app on the Hero.

just had my roommate call me and it went straight to voicemail!!!:D It still rang a few times (like it should) and then, instead of pausing and ringing again, it just went straight to google voice.

I'll update if something goes wrong but until then, thank you dpeeps!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brett1211:

Try youmail from the market
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t35stryker:
If you still haven't found a solution

My phone was ringing up to 12 times sometimes! This did the trick:

Well I guess I can't post links if I am new member until I have eight posts under my belt, so just google the article: "Techerator and How to Prevent Extra Rings using Google Voice as Voicemail"
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00456:
*Solution*

^ this article does have the fix, and here it is:

1. Go to Google Voice in your web browser

2. Settings

3. Phones

4. The "Edit" button under your phone

5. Show Advanced Settings

6. Select the radio button "Go straight to voicemail" (instead of "Ring my other phones before going to voicemail").

7. Save. Problem should be solved.

Since we are kinda the minority here we really need to stick together. We should start putting a thread together of our wish lists for developers. I feel like we are kinda behind the curve compared to the GSM folks and hope we can get more people involved in CDMa stuff.

I am new to this and willing to learn, and will support with beer funds. I am assuming that the vzw efforts will carry over to Sprint since both are cdma devices. I have my galaxy tablet rooted but have not gone any further as I have not fully understood so many of the posts in regards to which are the better rom to use, the best method of flashing based on the rom, so to avoid any of the big issues..aka not booting etc. I am looking for a really good guide to get started. One that says first and foremost fo this before you start so you can recover you device if you really bugger it up.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bobby Buggs:
I was in the same situation as you up until last weekend, notice I avoided using the "same Boat";)

HID or SPP Verizon Galaxy

I may have found a solution for the bluetooth keyboard issue. "keypro" on the market will drive certain SPP keyboards (not HID) it is a little more to work with than the single verizon samsung option for keyboard use. I am waiting for my freedom universal standard keyboard and keypro is supposed to support it. You can download the program free and see what keyboards it supports. I will let you know when my keyboard comes in. :p Sorry if I am in the wrong posting area I just signed up so I could share this.

I dont profess to be any coding expert, and All I really know anything about is the VZW tab at this point. Sprint files are totally different but loading is the same.

VZW people should be on the look out for a new Kernel from Boushh, Im running it now for 24 hours and its a screamer and totally stable. Latest benchmark was 2221.

It should be out tonight or soon after.

Trying to learn basics of coding and all in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully ill be able to contribute down the road.

I have heavily layer into the honeycomblayout/theme and just the changeover to khasmeks work and honeycomb density and layout...I've started using much more. Like I said,I'm really pumped to start deving as I know alot of cdma users will benefit from more work coming to the table..when I start getting confident and have things down pat..even then I can't promise it will be as good as what Boushh has done,but at least it will be an attempt at getting more dev for cdma

There are tons of threads on xda of mms not working on custom roms. Normally if its not working its an apn issue. I've even posted instructions on this last week on another thread. Search around and you might find it. I'd link to it but I'm not at my PC. Also keep in mind mms doesn't work over wifi if you have that on turn it off and see if it works then.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WingHater:
The rom I'm currently using IncredibilyReengineered only sends MMS with the wifi turned off. Maybe you could try turning wifi off before sending the mms and see if that works. Just a thought. Usually the phone does this automatically, switching to 3G for MMS, but for whatever reason you have to manually turn wifi off to get it to work, at least you do on IncrediblyReengineered.

I had mms issues on even the stock rom before I rooted. It didnt matter if I had wifi on or off. The only rom that has ever worked 100% of the time was the cm7 nightlies.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NilsP:
On most ROM's MMS will not send or receive when WiFi is on and connected. Sometimes it switches automatically to 3G like it should but more often it fails If you see it did not send then leave WiFi on and toggle Mobile Network. It will send just about immediately.

I just keep the Mobile widget on my home screen for that rare occasion that I am on WiFi and send an MMS.

Text is fine because that goes over the voice network
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _chron:
its not an issue of wifi because i don't ever use it. its always off. as i mentioned in my opening statements the APN fix DID NOT work. will be trying the ROM manager fix shortly.

edit. the fix in the mentioned link has nothing to do with the dinc. also the cited fix is not in the ROM manager downloads section.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydreeuhn:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _chron:
the issue stems from backing up all data with titanium and restoring old information on a new ROM. i did a factory wipe and reflashed cyanogen 6.1 and everything works fine as long as i don't restore data.

Too bad they don't have a desktop client.

I expect Skype to have an iOS and Android client soon since they aquired Qik. If it interacts with the desktop Skype well, sadly I think Tango will disappear.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbDroid:
Hi everyone,

I just was doing some mucking around on my phone, long story short, all my default system ringtones are gone. I actually really liked them. Does anyone know where I can get them back from? I have this terrible feeling that they have been wiped completely. I have a Samsung Captivate, Rogers, 2.2 running Cog 4.

Thanks so much!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuitjerker:
Um, best way I know is get them from another rom....Phoenix roms have them. (www.phoenix-hq.com)

Be under system/media/audio/ringtones

(using root explorer!!)

if you download to ur phone its easier.

go into file then it should say extract, then it will extract to the "extracted folder" and then should ask if you want to go there, select "yes". Probably best to open "Extracted ringtones file" select multi select from root explorer menu and select all or some of the ringtones. Not just the file or it will overwrite ur current ringtones if any.

copy and paste the file(s) with root explorer,(system/media/audio/ringtones on your root)( remember to select R/W) or pick and choose favorites, also can aquire any alarm tones missing, I did this when i found out they forgot a perticular alarm tone i used.

Hope its clear and helps ..Good Luck !
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbDroid:
I'll give it a shot. I don't have root explorer but I can try playing around following the instructions. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuitjerker:
Root explorer is worth the money i think...there may still be a free version...you will need read/write access, hence the root explorer.

Also root explorer will extract .zip files...so basically its a must.

Now my phone run 2-3 days without charging.

I have just turned off connection with xbox live:)

From my experience (only 3 days rooted LOL) you have to find radio that works best with your carrier. Better reception will stop phone trying to find masts, hence improving battery.

Yesterday i had the idea to change my radio rom to version 2.12......

From then the reception of gsm increases and my battery live increases too.Now i have half of battery power left at 20 o clock,by same usage the day.At radio rom 2.15 i had to charge my phone at 20 o clock.

I dont know if this tip helps another people,but for me,its the best way to fix battery issues.
