Charging while tethered - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Does anyone have a solution to charge the phone while tethered to a laptop...??? is there a particular adapter that i need to aquire...??? my battery life sucks and its seriously hampering my social networking...its like totally like OMG...!! whatever...

The only problem I have had with the TP2 is the same one I had with my Titan. The battery in the titan used to overheat and in order to not destroy itself / burst into flames, stopped charging the battery.
My usual solution is to just pop off the battery cover and slap the phone on a hard surface, screen down. Failing that, try blowing a fan on it.
If you actually want to just see if this is your problem, download nuePowerCpl / nueBattery2 [ http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nuePowernueBattery.aspx ] and install it. Start tethering, open the "Power & Backlight" Control Panel item (under System), and watch the battery usage. when you phone stops charging, look at the battery temp. You should see that the Temp is significantly hotter than normal (usually mine runs at about 31C, I believe the threshhold it stops charging at is 50C, but I could be a bit off on that one).
As a second note, doing Wi-Fi tethering generally takes significantly more power than USB Tethering. Just a thought.
Let me know if this helps you out.

I think the solution for the touch pro over at PPC geeks should work for the TP2 as well.

ROFL That's some great stuff!! I can't wait to see the portable version!

I literally had to put my TP1 in the fridge to have a consistent tethering by wifi experience.
However the TP2 is much more resilient to heat abuse

use BT tethering... or USB to share your internet connection which will charge the device while its plugged in.

Can one Gadget (AKA The Desire) do it all?

Hey People, the more I use this excellent phone the more I wonder can it really replace all of my gadgets on a day to day basis?
I wrote a piece on my blog about this in detail, but what do you think?
Gadgets I use the most on a day to day basis are:
Laptop - Internet and E-mail
Camera
Sat Nav
Phone
PMP - Music and Video's
My verdict was 99% a yes, and close to 100%.
Any thoughts!
It can do VOIP/SIP over HSDPA extremely well with a little help from SipDroid which I just set-up. Yay, for the Desire. ^_^ And for cheap calls!!
As for the laptop replacement it's quite adequate for my morning commute to work but when I need to do something fiddly like setup my PBX I prefer to tether my laptop.
As for replacing everything else, yeah pretty much, although whether it can replace one's girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other is a matter for debate.
LOL since when has ones, Girlfriend/Boyfriend etc, been a gadget? (why do I feel like that will spawn innuendo?)
I bought because if this!
Finally AIO device
Internet and E-mail
Camera(before used camera)
Sat Nav
Phone
Music and Video's(before used MP4)
It could, if the battery technology was at a point where the phone could last a decent amount of time when playing videos, music, making calls and surfing. If you do everything on your phone it zaps the battery. That's why I'm keeping my cowon s9 for video/music use.

That's a valid point. I spend a lot of time on the road in my car, so a car charger helps with that!
yes i think that HTC DESIRE is the AIO device anyone needs. but the concern and main problem is here too....if i use all the features all day i only get up to the evening max...then charger is on
So would you compromise the look to interoperate a bigger battery? That's the question here?

I think I don't need extra battery, it can last for one day if I use all it's features
I couldn't compromise on the shape, I'm hoping that a 2000mah + extended battery that is the same size will be released. I've actually been using my laptop to charge my desire on the go, lol.
i must say that its replaced a my ipod touch and n97 (email client on n97 was poor, video playback wasn't great and music player could have been better and sat nav was far too buggy) but i have to say i've been really taken with it, picks up emails faster than my outlook does for gmail, screen is fantastic, battery life is roughly the same as my itouch after a day's usage and since google maps navigation has come along its become even better! hopefully a bigger battery will be released soon as mentioned above
I have been a big PC user for most of my life and found I spent many hours on it each day catching up with whatever is happening online, etc.
Since getting this phone, I've actually found I spend half the time on the computer as I used to. I can happily be elsewhere and be able to catch up on forums through my phone with no discomfort
Technology is meant to make life easier and more efficient. The desire has certainly done that for me.
Battery , for me, is the biggest issue.
If we can get a better battery, it would be superb.
I use the phone a lot. (I haven't made a single call with it yet either as my number has still to transfer over).
But, I don't manage to last the whole day without needing a charge early evening.
I think once the novelty of the phone has worn off it will be better, but even then, it's not as if I've been using it so heavily.
Small amount of Satnav to test it out.
Fair amount of internet during the day (switching between mobile data and wireless depending on proximity of wifi network).
Screen more often than not turned almost all the way down, unless light doesn't permit.
I never get through a full day without a charge...
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Are there any apps which export the phone's current settings, so that the set-up can be analysed by others (like the nice people on here) in order to work out a more power efficient set up?

You will see looking around these forums there is a lot of discussion an battery life! Personally I find that there are certain Apps that seem to drain my battery very quickly. One culprit for some reason seemed to be the 'Sky News' app? I dont have a list of apps that cause it but like I said read a few of the battery threads and it will give you some idea. The Sat Nav is a huge drain on the battery, and even when connected to my current car charger it drains quicker than it charges. I know why, its because my car charger is only kicking out .5a unlike the required 1a that the device needs (needless to say a better car charger is on its way).
But normally I can get a day out of it no problem. And If I use the Sat Nav its gonna be plugged in to a charger anyway...
I am happier with my Desire than than any other gadget I'be owned. The only problem is memory for apps. I'v havent got that many but I'm still short on space. what's the point in having a superphone if you can't show it off? I have 8 gig memory card but can't use any that space for apps! Madness!
Apps are limited un production by this and won't be a real co.tender to the iPhone appstore until it's solved.
If anyone know how to get apps on to SD on the desire please let me know. Would make this thing pretty perfect.

Desire can replace a lot of gadgets but it's definitely not a replacement for a laptop or a camera.
IMHO, no. I've used it for a few weeks now, and at one point considered replacing my current phone with it but...
1. Appalling battery life, maybe a working day of usage, and if I'm having to put it on charge in the evening, I'm not using it.
2. Lack of stability - applications crash out at random, shutdowns frequently hang. If I have to take the battery out to reset it, a real pain if I'm out walking, it's not ready for frontline use. While I've been typing this, the browser has completely locked up.
3. Flash memory shortage; when it's rooted, or the OS supports install-to-card, this won't be a problem, but I'm not prepared to spend a lot of time managing memory. If I need to spend a lot of time maintaining the device, I might as well use WM.
4. Odd Calendar syncing - I've mentioned it elsewhere, but I want control of how my calendars are synced to the device; Android doesn't give me that. If I want to look back a few months and check the last time I took a leave day, it may not have synced. Shabby.
5. GPS - I imagine Copilot works well on this, but a few hours testing Google Maps Navigation at the weekend really brought out serious flaws, particularly when passing through areas with no cellular data coverage. A SatNav system has to sit in the dashboard mount and just work reliably for the whole trip or it's worthless, GMN didn't.
It's a nice device to play with, and there are some good, useful applications, but I need a reliable phone, and this isn't it. Hopefully the Evo will be.

[Q] Turn display off, but leave touchscreen on??

I would like to have the screen power down, but leave the touchscreen active. Then I can tap/swipe the screen to return the display, instead of hitting the power button. [Note: This is only for a "docked" state.]
Also, since "Display" is always the battery killer, this could prove useful for battery savings. With the screen dimmed to 20, I'm drawing about ~500mA. With the display is off, the power draw is ~100mA. Pandora is playing away the whole time. [Note: I'm not checking the power draw often, so take these numbers with a grain of salt.]
I would really like the nitty gritty details on how the power is routed to all the components (i.e. what can be independently powered up/down, and what is on the same power bus).
Any kernel gurus out there?
To be honest, this just sounds like a not-so-good idea.
Why not just flash something that gives your optical button joystick thing an unlock function?
And if you are just using this for when it is docked, why not just leave the screen on?
So, flashing an unofficial rom is a good idea, but tweaking one is not? If people didn't try the "not-so-good" ideas, this site wouldn't exist.
I have CM7, so I have the feature... disabled. The OJ button pushes the phone "dock" across my desk, and unlocks my phone if I pull it out of my pocket the wrong way. Besides, this is only substituting one button for another.
At a minimum, it would be nice to get the backlight to <5 (out of 255, not %), but I assume a full power down is where the real power savings will come from. I just want to tap the screen to bring back the UI.

Charging + screen on + CPU active = overheating battery. (i.e. It's not good for the battery.)
No need to get defensive but I see your point.
I think he just meant not optimal or efficient but it is your phone and actually sounded like an idea I thought of a while back. I'll be watching the thread.

That was more after-work-commute mood than anything he said. I thought I caught the pissy bits (that isn't the original text), but apparently not.
So, sorry, SealDog. I didn't mean to be such an _____.
Anyways, here's another way to think about it, or just more info....
I just plugged in to AC, and the battery is at 23%. This means the charge current is at ~950mA.
With the screen off, it's putting ~800-850mA towards charging the battery (fast charge rate). With the screen on, it's only putting ~500mA towards charging (trickle charge rate), and burning up ~450mA.
Somewhere around 40-42 degrees C, the charge controller drops to ~500mA, because the battery is getting too hot. Yet, I'm still drawing ~450mA, leaving almost no current towards charging.
When it gets hotter (42-44 degrees C), the charger shuts off completely. Now, I'm just discharging the battery.
I have run into this too many times. 6+ hours on the charger, and the battery has only charged up 10-15%. Not cool. (In fact, the phone is freaking hot.)
BTW, I'm trying find every on/off setting I can (e.g. 1x/3G toggle). Mainly, I want to know what each unit's idle power is. I read about lots of battery saving things, but do they really help? Does 1x truly draw less idle current than 3G? Does shutting off wifi, gps, etc. actually save power when idle? Byrong did a nice backlight + CPU frequency examination. I'd just like to go further. I have an incomplete test built in Tasker (I have to fix the stinking task priorities, and remove all "sleeps").
My ultimate goal is to have a set of Tasker profiles that optimize power consumption for my purposes, without sacrificing functionality. For example, my mobile data choice is on or off, but off means C2DM can't reach the phone. I have plans for C2DM, so this isn't something I wish to sacrifice. But, if the screen is off and the network load is near zero, 1x is sufficient.
Try screen stand by root
『Moved by touch™』 ?
LâTêS†↭ⓛⓘⓝⓚⓢ™CM10 HTC A310E
This is available on my S3 i9300 with Siyah kernel, but I don't use it for two reasons:
- Accidentally activating the screen and waking the phone
- The digitizer normally turns off, and leaving it on drains your battery.

Save Note 7 from exploding, untill replace

Save Note7 from potential exploding!
1. "Inportant" Disable fast charging under battery settings ( there is toggle to turn off)
2. Use OEM wall charger with OEM cable
3. Before charging phone close all active aplications and clear cashe
4. Before charging turn off wifi, bluetoth,nfc etc..
5.DO NOT CHARGE phone ubder pillow or in bad
Hope this tips help you guys and me
Perhaps we should also all be taking acupuncture and subscribing to new age homeopathy therapies? :silly:
If the battery wants to 'go bang' it will, no options will change that fact.
i'll just take my chances ?

It doesn't, otherwise we would have been advised to turn it off by Samsung before the handset is replaced. Or a software update disabling the feature would have been pushed.

Samsung didn't say a word what to do untill replace, but if you read about fast charging, there says " your device will charge quickly but may become hot"
It's got nothing to do with fast charging, it's a fault in the battery that will heat up and catch fire if you're fast charging or not....

I think a lot of people are concluding that heat is the issue and will create the battery problem. I can't see any evidence that heat causes the battery fault to occur.
Well exploding battery will cause heat.... sooo XD... There probably many other component that cause it but anyone willing to force the note7"C4" to explode?
its a battery fault - the battery cells which are affecting the units are drawing too much power from the mains which in turn heats the battery past limit. i've had mine for about 4 days in the UK and three have told me "no recall or safety instructions have been given by company"
and samsung support have said "none of the problems has occured in the UK so you are fine to use and if it gets hot close all apps and place phone in cool place away from direct sunlight"
but samsung did say they were replacing phones. left details and call back will be in 7days
was on hold for 1 hour waiting for them to answer. might be quicker popping into a samsung store and asking about it.
but if people in UK need a piece of mind and wants to ring samsung the phone number to use is 0330 726 1000 *****THIS IS FOR UK RESIDENTS ONLY*****

I got a phone call from O2 earlier offering me to return the phone for a full refund or a partial refund with a different handset.
the option they didn't advise was to hold onto the phone and they will replace them when they get the new stock, they said this has been the most popular option with the majority of people opting for it, but they also said should the phone show any signs of the problem (getting hot when charging or swelling) I can take the phone in at any time for a refund.
chances are 3 just doesn't have all the info yet, but the recall is every phone, Samsung is probably still communicating with suppliers so it is likely a case of the firms are still learning then they will have to work out how to pass on the information to those affected.
I would have to say it's fast charging...or generic adapters. Because I used the original cable with a generic adapter and after charging for some time, the phone was extremely hot. As in ive never felt any phone become that hot. This was maybe in the first few days I got the phone. I saw fast charging was on so I turned that off.
I stopped using that particular adapter as well (which works for all our other Samsung and apple phones and pads) ... And it never became hot again.
I use another non branded adapter with a non Samsung cable in the office to charge and it doesn't get hot there. Doesn't get hot with my non branded car charger as well.
So my guess is it's the fast charging option. Or just that particular adapter. But so far... Fast charging off... With different adapters and cables.. And it's working fine.. And cool
the problem is 100% in the battery, nothing else in the phone is at fault.
basically when they make a battery it is done with layers of material and a catalyst (acid or similar) inside the battery is compartmented, if 2 of these compartments manage to interact with each other due to a fault in the separator you get a runaway reaction, at best you get a bit swelling or a hot battery, worst case it goes critical and fails (goes pop)
if you have a phone with a faulty battery you can play it safe and turn off options such as fast charging, but the fact is if the battery is one of the few faulty batteries in the wild you are only delaying the inevitable.
the only way to protect the phone is to monitor it carefully while it is charging as if the battery is faulty no amount of changing settings will solve the problem as if that was the case they would have released emergency firmwares by now to minimise risk.
but even then when the phone gets warm it isn't always the battery, my battery normally sits around 30-35C (even while charging) but my phone sometimes feels warm but the problem is the CPU running some times at 50-60C making the phone feel warm and not the actual battery.

Low battery, can't charge via (or use) USB-C port. Is data recovery possible?

My Pixel XL has a problem with its USB-C port and will no longer charge. The bottom of the phone gets super hot when it is plugged it, but no charge/not identified for USB transfers. Maybe a short or something who knows/cares. The device is currently off at about 8% battery. It's going to Verizon for a repair or replace. I have files on the phone (screen recordings, downloaded pictures, etc not in cloud) I'd like to recover before leaving it in Verizons "expert" hands.
Can't wireless charge with the Pixel XL and can't transfer via USB. Is there any "smarter" course of action rather than just turning on the phone and trying to blitz a cloud backup before the battery completely dies? I found something kind of cool regarding a possible transfer with the audio jack (http://hackaday.com/2010/02/01/android-audio-serial-connection/) but doesn't really seem feasible given my situation. Just wondering. I am sure if it needs a replace that Verizon will have no idea how to get my data off for me. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I miss removeable SDs.
Given your situation backing up to Google Drive would be your best bet. If you are connected to WiFi and the screen is off it shouldn't require much power. You can also turn turn off all radios and unnecessary functions other than WiFi (Bluetooth, nfc, data) to squeeze out a little extra battery. The battery also runs down slower when the phone is less hot. If you place the phone (no case obviously) on a cooling pad or on top of an ice pack wrapped in a thick zip lock bag it might squeeze out your remaining battery a little longer. While you have the screen on to set up the backup you should also turn down the screen brightness as much as possible.
I hadn't thought of the ice pack, can't hurt haha. I'm sure the booting will be what takes most of the remaining juice.
Thanks. Hopefully the mental path I have mapped out to select folders for backup is accurate

Question Pixel stand 2

My pixel stand 2 has a fan built in. The software has limited options for it's functionality. I use the phone nearly continuously as a hotspot on the stand. It gets quite hot, and I am using acca to keep charging between 40 to 80%. I suspect the pixel stand's fan isn't really responding to the phone's temperature, but doing it's own weird Google ****. If Google would give the option of 100% fan speed continuously my problem would be solved. My intention is to rule this device to MY specifications. I plan to open the device and direct wire it's fan to run at full speed continuously. My question to the community is: how to wire the fan to the existing internal circuitry to make this happen? My usual, non elegant solution would be to just power the fan from an external adapter. But this results in multiple power strips with multi plug adapters, an electricians nightmare. YouTube shows some teardowns, but no voltage pinout points.
I'm sorry to say that I don't have any advice on this. I don't even own a wireless charger, but I especially understand using one in your circumstance.
I just wanted to comment because what you want to do reminds me of things that I do all the time with other (usually, computer) hardware that I don't like how it works, and figuring out ways to keep things as simple as possible, but yeah, no idea about the Stand 2.
Good luck!

Mine is working just fine, I have acc set to stop at 70% and the stand set to max charge and the fan is running fast nonstop. Only issue I have is sometimes the stand doesn't communicate to the phone but that's apparently a widespread issue.
Thanks, I have been gleaning some information on this, will post when I get it sorted.

When the stand fails communication with the phone does your fan continue to run, or does it quit? Are you running heat generating apps while on the stand? Like Hotspot or AnyDesk?

With no connection the fan runs extremely slowly, it's following a temperature readout on the coil and I don't think it ever will run as fast as when the phone tells the stand to ramp up the fan.
I used to have an issue at the beginning of the year where the phone would just not connect to the stand at all, and I would have to unpair and pair the stand back to the phone. This happened a few times in a month but then just stopped and I haven't had that issue since.
I do know that what case you use does make it harder for the phone to make a connection. I previously was using the Google case but it is thick enough that it would not connect every so often and also wasn't good because it increased the efficiency loses and also trapped heat in the phone. Ended up switching to a thin case and it's better, but probably would be best caseless.
I don't run anything on my phone when it is charging, it's always idle.

I take the phone out of the case when charging on the stand. I rma'd one stand due to the fan would not start up unless I shook the stand. Now this new stand lets the phone get smokin hot sometimes. What are your ACCA settings? Mine are /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level 100 5 shutdown (if not charging) at 5 Resume charging at 40 stop charging at 80. The reason I have the resume at 40 is I will often have the phone discharge to 50% or lower in use, and when I had resume set to 70% ACCA would fail, (when I sat the phone on the stand discharged to anything below the set resume point) the phone would discharge to 5, then shutdown, and proceed to charge itself to 100. I still have some trouble with ACCA and the phone charged to 100 in the morning even if I place on the stand before the resume point.
I think our main difference is that I spank my phone harder when its on it's stand than when I'm carrying it. Hotspot, mostly. But sometimes, other stuff, as well. Maybe the stand just isn't capable of keeping up with the heat generated.

Battery kept between 65% and 70%, charging switch supports battery idle mode and setting maximum charge current 600mA, prioritizing battery idle mode is enabled so the battery is essentially not used and phone instead is using external power when active.
Thank you. If your phone goes below 65% and you place it on the stand, will it pick up charging?
Did you enter your settings under the ACCA interface, or ACC?

Yes, if it drops below 65% it will charge at 600mA back up to 70% and then the battery will idle, it won't begin charging until below 65% which would take probably over a week for the battery to selfdischarge down to 65%.
Overwrite the contents of /data/adb/vr25/acc-data/config.txt and restart acc.

OK I will paste the exact code you sent into that location and see how it goes. I assume this will automatically change the ACCA interface as well. I will probably disable it in Magisk first, then re enable the module after reboot.
I did follow that exactly did copy the changed file in root explorer, saw it change the file size to confirm it really happened. But the changes do not show up in ACCA. It shows automatic charging s witch and prioritize battery idle disabled, charging power control disabled. Do the changes made to config.txt not show in ACCA or did something else fail?
I figured it out. Had to remove all the blank spaces between lines. Removed the word code: at the top. Removed the line : one-line script sample; echo nothing >/dev/null at the end. And probably most importantly, changed the configVerCode=202206010 to my existing code number, as the program checks this on boot and rewrites the original file if the numbers don't match. According to the documentation, this is a nono, but I couldn't figure how else to make it work. It is working as you said it would with these changes.

That means you are using a different version of acc, so your mileage may vary. I'm still using the last stable release which is 2022.6.4.
Might also be worthwhile to install Kirisakura kernel as it puts more thermal constraints on to mitigate heat better than stock.
