[Defy General] eiben_robert:
In standby (3g, sync only calendar and contacts) I have 1-1.5% battery consumption / hour. I think this is normal

With my normal usage i have some 20-40% left at the end of the day... also Ok.

WIFI on & connected will consume a lot of battery so I am not surprised.

BTW I also had an Xperia X1 and the consumption was roughly the same as the Defy... In fact more than 1-2 days on a charge I very rarely had on any of my smartphones with normal usage.
[Defy General] Quza:
last week I was working in the forest for a few days with no signal at all, so I turned on airplane mode: I remember it going from 45% in the morning to 42% in the late afternoon!

(with everything turned off, just used it occasionally to have an idea of what time it was)
[Defy General] xdaid:
It's ok to be an android fan, i like it too, as i said it is amazing. But, battery life is definitely NOT the strong point. I can compare the two phones now, at this moment. Honestly Defy's battery life is a lot shorter.
[Defy General] matrix866:
what's the other phone you compared?
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
I really don't have problem with Defy's battery life. As far as my memory serves, all cell phones I ever owned (7~8, all nokia, se, moto) could standby (just standby and don't use at all) for a week or made around 5 hours call. In my case Defy can also standby for a week or allow 5~6 hours usage.

I'm on a 2g network (probably helps alot), as I have wifi at home and at work. I have an exchange email, a gmail, 2 yahoo mails, and a weather app, all allowed to sync at default settings. I don't have facebook or twitter. GPS and bluetooth are enabled only when necessary (occasionally). I overclock Defy to 1000Mhz with SetVsel, and underclock to 300 when screen off. With conscious observation over some time, I find that 1% battery is consumed around every:

- 2 hours standby with wifi off; or

- 1 hour standby with wifi on; or

- 3~5 minutes usage (calls, emails, surfing,...)
[Defy General] Peglezn:
thats some amazing battery life u got there abc ...what rom are u using?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
hey guys, just a quick question. with which setting do you think i'll have longer battery life: 800MHz/58vsel or 1000MHz/56vsel? btw, i got my phone stable at 800MHz/45vsel :)
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
I was using the orange 2.2, and am using the finland 2.2 now. Both have similar battery usage.

But I have uninstalled some stock applications which I don't use but keep running in background, like BlurHome.apk (with Launcherpro), InPocketService.apk, ToggleWidgets.apk (with ExtendedControls), WeatherWidget.apk (with FancyWidget), VSuiteApp.apk etc.
[Defy General] eiben_robert:
You may be right, I had the Xperia X1 something like 1 year ago.

I had until now FSC T830, HTC Hermes, HTC Diamond, Xperia X1, Samsung i7500 Galaxy (my first Android), Acer Liquid and now the Defy. As far as I remember I always had to charge every night (or every 2 nights at best)

Overall I think Android battery life is worse than Windows mobile was BUT I also have more background programs running now than I had in the WM days.

What I definitely don't like in Android battery life is lack of consistency. One week you get30-40 hours at a charge and suddenly 12 hours... Than you have to make detective work: look what new App might be the guilty one, check what's running in background, reboot and see if it happens again, factory reset, etc. I guess this is the price of freedom :)
[Defy General] ttocs99:
Im on uk 2.2 and i get three days at a push i jus have a weather widget on sync every 3 hours.

Iv also undervolted 300/16 600/29 800/39 with setvsel on performance mode and up threshold on 99% and limit to vsel 1 when screen iz off

Im on three uk so im constonly on 3g and use no wifi etc etc with normal sms usage and a few calls through out off 1 charge
[Defy General] Peglezn:
thats the most i get out of mine =/
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
There has to be something wrong in your case. I find that there seems no wifi/2g/3g connection. Could that be the problem?
[Defy General] Peglezn:
I dont use 3g ..cuz its expensive in my country ..and I only turn wifi on when I need it

And that shouldnt be the case ...I think id loose a lot more battery if wi-fi would be on all the time

Use Morelocale 2 from Market for additional languages in bulds that lacks your language.. I found my, serbian, lang there. Great work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] BSAKSOUK:
Thanks. But you do know a way to fix arabic support? Eventhough I can chose arabic, the letters are detached.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] alqali:
I applied the following to AmeriCanAndroid r3.06 and it worked for me. Try it and tell us if it works for other roms.

For Arabic letters messing up at the beginning of some words check out the following links that fixed the problem for me. Just follow the instructions carefully and good luck.

Arabizer files: (You will need to recopy these files after each rom update)

http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=300641

Then install any Arabic supported keyboard of your choosing. MultiLing Gingerbread Keyboard with the Arabic plugin is my favorite at the moment but this one is also good:

[HD2 Android SD Development] BSAKSOUK:
Thanks man. But i was not able to push those files for some reason. I had root.

Any idea of a flashable ZIP or maybe a simple APK?
[HD2 Android SD Development] alqali:
Before I continue please note that I had nothing to do with the development of any of these or other files. I just found them and they worked on my device to fix the discussed problem. Therefore the best advice you can get would come directly from the developers of the files themselves.

That being said, I will describe what I did in order to get them to work for me.

1) follow the link to the ce4arab website (in my previous post) and register (free) in order for the download files to be visible and downloadable. Note: website is completely in Arabic.

2) Download and extract the 3 files in the compressed file. When you extract the files they will be in folders that refer to the exact folders to be moved to on the phone's root. For example root/system/framework/framework.jar

3) Running Android, connect your HD2 to the computer and copy these files to the phone's SD card (doesn't really matter where). Then disconnect your device.

4) Now run Root Explorer (download from the market or somewhere else) which will enable you to move these 3 files from your SD to the phone's root. Each file goes to the specific folder on the root. Note: Just to be on the safe side, I backed up my existing root files (just copied them somewhere on the SD card) before I overwrote them with these modified files.

5) Now reboot and install your preferred Arabic enabled keyboard.

Note: after any rom update you will need to repeat this procedure again.

Thanks goes out to all the great developers for this great device.
[HD2 Android SD Development] BSAKSOUK:
Ya I know that, but I simply wasnt able to move the file using root explorer because there was already existing files and for some reason, I was not able to overwrite the files (although I have root).

Thanks anyways.
[HD2 Android SD Development] alqali:
I really don't know why you are unable to overwrite the files. The only thing I can think of is that Root Explorer doesn't have superuser permission on your device. So it is stopping you from overwriting system files. Different roms deal with this differently so first try the general superuser permission fixes (google these) and if that doesn't work, include the name of the rom you are using into your google search words. I am running AmeriCanAndroid 3.06 and Root Explorer was granted superuser permission automatically. So I am guessing that your rom handles this differently.

Note: Superuser is an app that enables you to grant special permissions to specific apps. It should be in your app tray.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] well.heeled.man:
Hi Folks,

Does this exist, or is it possible for a non-programmer to mod an existing APK to provide a Gingerbread Keyboard with the COLEMAK layout? If it can be done, does anyone have any links to any keyboard modding guides?

As I said, I am a non-programmer, but would be willing to have a stab if it is more of a case of modifying/substituting code rather than coding from scratch.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voldor:
Hello,

i'm quiet new to use Android Build on HD2. So far i used SD Builds and NAND Builds.

Can anybody help me understand the Pros And Cons of each configuration ?

I mean i would like to understand :

1. What is the less battery consuming configuration (SD Builds, APP2SD, with 2 partitions ? with 3 partitions ? RAM Builds)

2. What is the configuration that provides the best performances ?

PS: for information i have a Leo 512 with an micro SD 16GB class 10
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Antimus:
Ok,

SDcard builds use more battery as it's constantly accessing the card.

Apps2sd moves some of your applications to a partition on the sdcard (You have to create this partition yourself) to save room on the phone's memory, as if you use a lot of apps you can fill up the memory on the phone. It uses some extra battery power, but not constant

number of partitions doesn't matter.

RAM builds is the only decent option in terms of battery usage, also it has the best developers working on NAND roms (in my opinion, sorry if that upsets anyone)

You'll have to try different builds yourself to find out which works best, I've seen NAND builds that empty your battery in less than a day and some that seem to last days, with the same 'configuration'

As with everything on this forum, you need to TRY things for yourself. Just make sure you have HSPL installed :)

Good luck

I presume you updated your kernel. I had the same issues and it seems best when having these problems to use jkoljo's kernel update utility and applying the modules seperately. You can find them by unzipping the kernel and searching for the .ko files.

hello..

i've been trying to get openvpn to work on my Defy but no luck so far.

what i've done is:

-install busybox

-install openvpn settings and installer

-found my tun.ko

-copied my openvpn config to sdcard

-changed openvpn settings

-the vpn tunnel is created and connection is made but traffic doesnt seem to be routed to the tunnel

did anyone manage to get openvpn to work on Defy?

it was working fine for me for different android devices.

i used this tutorial:

[Defy Android Development] Darmach:
Ohhh.... Good i found this thread, maybe you guys will be able to help me...

I have a working VPN connection from for ex. my laptop > home (PPTP)

But i am unable to connect to it using Defy's original VPN connection...

I get:

"Unable to connect to the network. Do you want to try again?"

Also - what does mean this "DNS Search Domains " setting?
[Defy Android Development] nolimitzz:
what ROM are you using? on 2.2.1 L2TP works fine but not PPTP.

your options:

1. try L2TP or L2TP/IPSEC if your provider supports it

2. if your on a 2.1 ROM, try a 2.2.1 ROM

as for DNS search domains, you can put google's for example 8.8.8.8

or leave it blank if after connection is successful you can browse without problems.
[Defy Android Development] Darmach:
Im on 2.1 - so its just that that on 2.1 PPTP is not working?

So DNS search domain are just specifying the DNS'es you will be using on this connection?
[Defy Android Development] nolimitzz:
1. Yes, at least for me.

2. correct

Hi,

Having the same issue as you.. My OpenVPN Connects but no unable to ping even the IP address.. Same Config ovpn file is working on previous phones. Please kind share you workaround :). Thanks in advance
[Defy Android Development] voided:
Found the solution! here u go!

1. install openvpn-installer

2. Run openvpn-installer and during installation point to busybox (ifconfig/route) at at /system/xbin/bb

3. create the directory at /system/xbin/bb

mkdir /system/xbin/bb

4. Make symbolic links to ifconfig and route

ln -s /system/xbin/ifconfig /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig
ln -s /system/xbin/route /system/xbin/bb/route

enjoy~!
[Defy Android Development] nolimitzz:
1) Install busybox using busybox installer from market, choose to install busybox in:

/system/bin

(dont install in /system/xbin , if already installed, please delete route and ifconfig in /system/xbin first very importanttttt)

Install Openvpn from Openvpn Installer in /system/xbin

using root explorer or whatever you use, replace openvpn binary with this:

http://github.com/downloads/fries/android-external-openvpn/openvpn-static-2.1.1.bz2

dont forget to change the permissions

using adb or terminal emulator:

su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
ln -s /system/bin/route /system/xbin/route
ln -s /system/bin/ifconfig /system/xbin/ifconfig
mkdir /system/xbin/bb
ln -s /system/xbin /system/xbin/bb

use openvpn settings to set your options (insmod for tun.ko, tun.ko location, openvpn location)

my main problem, which i dont know why, was because busybox is installed in system/xbin, while it should be installed in system/bin and then using symlink to system/xbin

anyway it works for me now, let me know if it does for you.
[Defy Android Development] werty1st:
did you install busybox to /system/xbin/?

did you create /system/xbin/bb? and symlink route and ifconfig to that folder?

Yesterday, downloaded latest invisiblekk and did a checksum which was ok. Went to install and during reboot phone stayed at bootanimation. Tried again and same thing. Now phone was useless even after nandroid restore. Get home and pull SD from phone, plug it into the PC and a Trojan horse is found by avast anti-virus. I then formatted and did a reinstall of my setup and everything is good.

Hi,

I'm currently doing my community service at a place where the network coverage is very bad and I often get the failure message "Data network not available." if I want to call someone. Sending messages does also not work and other people also can't call me.

To solve this I always have to disable the data connection and restart the phone once or twice.

The failiure message doesn't occure if I disable data connection and set the mobile network to GPRS-only.

I had the same issue with different modems and roms, these are:

JPY, JS5 and JS7 testet with the JPY AND JVE modem.

I can't tell you if this also happens with CM7 or JV1 because I haven't used them at work long enough.

I know that there have been a few threads about this, but there aren't any solutions for this problem, so maybe you have I magic trick for me :-) or we can solve this together?

Btw: I have the international SGS (GT-i9000) and I'm currently running JS7-Rom with JVE-Modem and supercurio-kernel for ext4-filesystem and root access.

Looks like your area doesn't have proper 3G Network.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ice_coffee:
I think we all get this, I know i do. What it really seems to mean is, you have no network coverage from your main provider (calls/text and data), but if you need to make an emergency call I have found another network I can use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _-mike-_:
But i have a working normal GSM connection, only 3G/HSDPA is not available everywhere. And I should at least be able to make phone calls if I have GSM connection. (Sendig SMS should be available too of course.)

My old Nokia 5800 with Symbian worked everywhere without any problems.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] _-mike-_:
Hi,

yes it works when I have a better network coverage without any issues :-).

APN-Entries are the right ones.

What I should tell you is that the 3G network coverage at the place where I work is really extremly bad. Sometimes when you walk a few meters you have a working 3G connection and sometimes not and because I only have to work there until the end of June it's not a big deal but I thought I post it here because it might be a bug in the modem.

nice regards

mike
