wow only 3 days... i guess XDANDROID does have battery issues

I bought a 2400 mAh battery from amazon and it gives me pretty good life with android. I use it up in a day though just due to my non stop toying with the OS and apps. I really push it hardcore with overclocking and major syncing and updates every 15 minutes, on as much as I can, and this battery will last me about 4-6 hours. If I'm frugal about the usage, it will work all day and usually still be on when I wake up in the morning.
Link if anyone is interested:

And yes, it's freakin huge! It looks very awkward in my pocket.

Hi can anyone see if Project inf works? It says connection lost for me when trying to load into a game, though I can connect to it and make a character.
What I am trying to figure out is if it's a device problem or just my wifi.
It's free and can be found in the market.

3000 mah

You've also said that we shouldn't believe the battery meter but when do I really now it is about to end then? I dont know if the battery life is good or bad without the meter :S

i got a 2400mah off ebay too. lasts about twice as long as the standard battery.
i also have a 1500mah battery. gets me maybe an 30mins to an hour longer useage.
those of you with the 2400mah, does battery reporting work in winmo? the one i have i got for my g/fs diamond. threw it in my tp and the battery reporting does not work, however in android it does. (not correctly of course).
as far as telling how much battery is there, the gauge we have is best right now. i usually give it an hour or 2 once it tells me it has 5% left. i notice performace take a big hit once my battery is about to die. everything gets real screwy.

As far as I can tell, it seems to be changing, however, I spend so little time in winmo anymore, I really couldn't tell you if its accurate. Are we supposed to change anything in Android to reflect the bigger mAh battery for more accurate readings? I seem to recall that there is a setting somewhere to change the mAh rating of your battery.

there is a setting but i believe it is built into the system.ext2
not something we can easily change ourselves.
and no, when in winmo, it doesn't read that there is a battery there at all lol.

I just checked. My battery is definitely showing up in winmo, and it changes as the battery is used.

if you download the free app in the market call: BatteryTime Lite", It will allow you to set the battery 's Mah ratings

Wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll throw it here.
Do we have a key mapped to the "search" button in Android? I can't seem to find one at all. Reason I ask is the app AndChat uses the search hardkey for nick autocompletion... So how can I use it to autocomplete nicks? Thanks!

LED Flashlight?
Is there a version of hTorch for Android?
I tried a few "LED flashlight" apps from the market but none work.
Then again, perhaps the camera LED isn't even enabled yet if the camera isn't?
I use the LED "flashlight" more than the camera.
Maybe I just need to buy a keychain flashlight. LOL

afaik its optional to have a search button. On devices such as raph/diam we dont have the option. Some native android phone dont have the button either so we arent missing a core button.

We can use the flashlight. phhusson enabled it not too long ago however there isn't an apk that utilizes it atm. if you do a search in the 2.2 thread you'll find the answer and i'll probally request chamonix to implement the function into ledeffects if he can

Thanks to all the xdandroid devs. Using xdandroid on my AT&T Fuze convinced me that my next phone would be an android phone. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) that time has come. The external speaker on my Fuze died last night so I now have a Captivate on order. (I was hoping to wait for a new HTC android phone on AT&T, but the Captivate seems to be the best available right now.)
Thanks again for all the time the devs have dedicated to making android work on the older WinMo phones. Without you I'd probably be getting a Tilt2 or Blackberry.

How do I overclock my HTC Touch Pro 2?

Hy,
I saw on the internet that someone has clocked his HTC Touch to 800mHz. But I wanna know how I can do that two! A small increase of the total mHz is also welcome. (600+mHz). I hope that someone can help me
Thanks
regards,
Sami
I second this
Greatly appreciated if someone can help.
Someone on the internet posted a screen of his Touch Pro 2 (clocked to 800mHz) nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx
But there is no tutorial how to do it....
That link you provided is for Touch Pro (Rapahel) not for Touch pro 2 (Rhodium)
As far as I know there is no way to overclock the Rdodium processor...
(hope I´m wrong)

Some updates, Touch Pro 2 Stuff
by no2chem
17. septiembre 2009 14:25
On Overclocking
I still haven’t been able to identify how to control the PLL properly. I need to look into Linux/Android code, where they apparently have the Kaiser running at 528MHz just fine. Again, once I figure this out, the tool will be updated.
On The Touch Pro 2
I got the Touch Pro 2 from Sprint, finally – and can begin working on it. I’ll have a version of the battery driver with FastCharge, Temperature Override and 1% soon, I’ve already disassembled/reassembled it, it’s just awaiting my patches. I’ll probably post a review soon, but the best part of this phone is the screen. If you haven’t seen one, go and look at one. I’d say some of the major cons are the price (on Sprint), the missing tab button and the lack of a flashlight. It is definitely faster according to my reference benchmarks on stock. This will be my target device for a CE6/CE7 BSP as well now.

It's the same internal chipset (MSM7xxx series), so theoretically it should work. IIRC the OMAP overclocker works on almost all the OMAP-based phones on XDA. If anyone's interested in trying it, you can download the overclocker here.

Good luck! Let us know what happens and you might want to be out in the cold just in case it overheats.
For some odd reason, it doesn't show the 700+ MHZ Clock..
I can underclock easily though if that helps anyone with battery life.
Hmmm..
I´ve read that they (nuesoft) are working on it
Hopefully soon we see some tool that works with Rhodium!

Really? How much of a boost do you get? If underclocking is stable, that'd be a huge bonus. Most of my mobile tasks don't require running a full clock.
I've checked nuerom pretty regularly since September to see if there's any news, but I had no idea it worked at all on TP2. My impression was that, despite sharing a processor with TP1, this item wasn't compatible for some reason. Maybe I was just reading too much into the errors people were getting due to it being early in development.
It would be great if the TP2 can get some more mHz. Thanks for the replies. Lets hope there will be soon a app that will clock the TP2 to a higher level Would like it!
So keep us updated if you've heard something or if you need someone to test a app

Sami

It worked stable, even at 19.20mhz, but it was extremely [email protected][email protected]
Haha, do NOT run it lower then 100, it will kill you. Easy to fix though, just soft reset.
Works great when I'm out without a charger
Edit: It gave me another 2-3 hours at 384mhz I believe

Aokp and lean kernel battery life

I've gotten some awesome battery life with AOKP mr1 build 6 and Lean kernel 6.3.1 lately. Just thought I would share incase anyone else is looking for awesome screen on time. This is with stock GSM gnex battery.
Also, anyone know why Google services is so high on the list. It never used to be a month ago and I don't do anything different. Anyone else's Google apps draining more lately?

When I last visited XDA yesterday or the day before I was ranting about Android's battery life. This thread bragging about 3 hours screen on time is the perfect example! OP not trying to change the subject or take away from your battery pride, but.. This is a joke. The phone stayed on for three hours and this guy is so happy about it he started a new thread. Android has a BIG problem, or maybe the more accurate statement is the companies who manufacture Android devices do. Am I the only one who feels this way!?

Definitely one of my biggest gripes about Android is the battery life. I would really like to not charge my phone everyday. I don't like the bulk of extended battery and there seems to be no end in sight.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I for one appreciate you reporting your battery life - probably didn't need its own thread (sharing the AOKP development thread would have been fine) but its good to give other users an idea of the kind of performance you're getting from your ROM/Kernel combo.
In regards to Android and battery life... Granted, its not like my Blackberry devices of 5 years ago, BUT, the devices are capable of much more. I charge my phone every night and sometimes even need a bump charge to make it through the day. Between my car charger and my office, I'm never in a pinch for some extra juice.
The way I look at it, if you want a car that puts out 500 horsepower, can't expect it to give you 40 MPG too.
Just my two cents.

Sticking with the analogy.. The problem is most of the cars being manufactured, and all of the cars worth having, are 500 horsepower now. But very few offer a larger gas tank, which would not be hard to do.
We need batteries like that of galaxy note 2, which is 3100 mah in a slim form.
Cool story OP.
This mind of threads appear almost once a week. We all know battery life is not that good for GNex. To gain 30min more battery life by trying so hard simply is not worth it.
Get an extended battery, 6 hours screen on time, problem solved.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
OP since you live only 15 minutes or so away from me, and I am on Verizon, have you done any overclocking/underclocking? Undervolting? What apps are you using? Getting great screen on time can only get you so far depending on the apps you use.

Got my Cam Module in...

Here are my thoughts on the LG Cam Plus Module:
I got the only module that my local T-Mobile store got in. I was lucky that one of the reps called me before she even put it in stock and held it for me. Awesome service right there!!!
FEEL
So far, I really like the extra heft. For those of you who remember the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, it feels a little like the extra battery did but at the bottom and not the middle. It's a great feeling. I have fairly large hands from bodybuilding and it is a bit awkward thus far to turn the phone over to use the module. But, I think I'll get used to that quickly. Really big hands people will likely want to steer away from the module as it won't benefit them much.
The dial isn't as nice as I would like. I was hoping it would have some feedback like a traditional camera dial does, but it doesn't. Not a big deal, but I did notice it nonetheless. It is a major improvement over not having the module, though!
LOOK
It looks okay... I wish the colors were more coordinated. The gold and silver combo don't look very good in my opinion. Black and silver and then silver and silver would be good. So, I really wish they made the module in black only.
It is all plastic from what I can tell, which I don't like whatsoever. But, for plastic, it does have a good feel. I will say that.
BATTERY
This is where I have a major concern. If you look at the battery specs, it only qualifies for Quick Charge 2.0 for input and output. It is only 5v/9v for input and only 5v for output. I'll be able to confirm shortly whether or not my phone says it's quick charging or not with the module attached. I did notice earlier while using the module that while charging the phone, it heated up a bit like QC 2.0 not 3.0, for whatever that's worth.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
So far, I'm glad I got it. I'm on many estimates for contracts throughout the day and I can see how it will make things easier to take pictures. A lack of a case does concern me, but I guess that's what insurance is for lol (as I found out with my V10).
The extra battery will come in handy I'm sure as I'm going thru juice quite a bit. I use my phone heavily. I have two numbers going to my phone for calls and texts (gv). I use my phone at least for 4 hours a day for calls to give you an idea. I'll report back on the extended battery life and what I can determine as to the charging current with the module battery. I'm not sure how much of a definitive answer I can find without root since I don't think ampere will work without root. I've attached a bunch of pictures for you guys. Let me know if you have any questions I can try to answer.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the speaker seems to be better than the stock module. I didn't notice any crackling at higher volumes as I did with the stock module.
Edit 2: I can confirm that the module does NOT quick charge your phone. When a quick charger is plugged into the pack, I can confirm that the phone will quick charge but the module itself does not seem to quick charge judging from the fact that it took about an hour and a half to go from 0-Full while plugged into a QC 2.0 charger by itself. I have attached a picture of the phone charging from the module in Ampere.

Edit 3: I've noticed during my workout that the battery stops charging after around 15 minutes. Each time I have to turn the module back on... Very weird. Hopefully LG will change this in the future.

This Australian article suggests the Cam Plus is only designed to charge the main battery when you're using the camera...maybe that explains your 15 min cutoff?
This module could've been so great with a clicky, multifunction wheel and a proper extended battery. Hope a custom kernel can fix it!

wrong. you can charge the phone without going into the camera app just by simply pressing the power button of the module once.
@PENKO956 OK. Once for a full charge or once every 15 minutes? Also isn't the power button on the Cam Plus designed to launch the camera? Or is that another button...?

Any release notes?
Probably going to update (OTA) the next days. Flashed the russian pie rom and received this OTA. Working fine except for "Smart backlight control" stopping to work (when using USB tethering over a longer period of time, weird). I don't have wifi yet so i need to make sure my mobile internet is enough to try out Torchlight Fronters this weekend, that's something i definily don't want to miss. I'll give feedback if i find anything unexpected in that update.
UPDATE: Disabling Smart background control fixed my issue. Luckily it's not really something neccesary.
i also got the update and installed it. Nothing has changet at UI, i think

You're making some pretty harsh accusations, even going so far as to call them "shameless", but without anything to back it up, and even becoming overly defensive after getting called out on it, you come off as just an immature kid spewing nonsense (basically slander) on the internet.
It's perfectly fine to complain about worse battery life after the upgrade. That by itself is valuable input of actual user experiences that adds to the conversation and provides people more perspectives to what may happen after upgrading to Pie.
But to go one step further and claim that the weaker battery life is because of a conspiracy to purposefully cripple your phone in order to get you to go and buy the latest model?
If you have actual evidence indicating that the age old theory is actually true, by all means blow that whistle and tell us.
Otherwise, you're just spreading false information pulled out of your ass instead of contributing to any meaningful discussion. I don't see how you can justify that sort of behavior.
My battery life is just fine since going to Pie. If you don't like it, just roll back to Oreo.
@puiatmp: Why did you purchase a Sony device in the first place, if you despise the company that much?
I don't know if it was mentioned before. The .33 firmware contains Android pie with November security patch:

Yes, they want you to always buy the most current cell phone. just do not see it if you do not want it.
And why I have to be careful. I speak what I think.
Sony certainly decreases the useful life of the batteries via software purposely !!! What's up ???

you are absolutely right, and world is run by aliens as well, lol
fwiw my phones battery lasts a lot more after upgrading to PIE. usually 2-3 days with normal use, including about 2-3 hours voice calls, 1-2 hours internet browsing, usual emails, 1-2 hours gps while driving, approx 6-7 hours SOT . you better check if you have some power hungry apps running at backround. anyway, making such absurd accusations without having anything backing it up is childish and doesn't give anyone anything.
UPDATE: Smart backlight control was the thing making problems. Disabling this fixed my problems. Pie is fast, my battery life seems to be even better than before but Wifi WPS is missing i think or maybe it just got moved somewhere else.

I thought that WPS was being removed in Android due to security concerns. Might be wrong though.

If it's 2,5GB you probably didn't update to Pie yet, right?

Question Want to check if battery Battery Info is correct

Hey, I bought Samsung F62 and I am getting paranoid if there is some issue with my battery
1) Can someone try to install this program
Device Info HW - Apps on Google Play
Hardware and software information app for Android devices.
play.google.com
2) turn on the "Use 'charged up to'" option from the settings
3) Restart the APP
4) Go to battery section and check for the "Charged up to" value(after the / (eg if value is 2000/6100 I need 6100))
I am getting ~6100 mAh
which is wayyyyy... lower than advertised 7000 mAh
Thank you so much for your help!
Don't concern yourself.
It's not uncommon for new batteries to show similar results.
When SOT drops to roughly 80% of it's original capacity, replace the battery.
At this point it's considered degraded and needs replacing before it fails. A battery failure can severely damage a phone with little or no warning.
A degraded cell is much more likely to fail.
Any battery swelling is a failure.
I have 2 Note 10+'s and their batteries are supposedly difficult to replace. Not so.
The right tools and techniques make it a relatively simple task. Look at a tear down vid for that model to see how tough it is or isn't.

You're welcome.
Likely not.
If you're getting good SOT I would not worry.
Not knowing it's nominal power usage makes it hard to gauge though.
If it's not running warm it should get good SOT otherwise it may be the battery.
Concersely if running warm than obviously it's using a lot of battery which explains the lower SOT.
Regardless the replacement probably isn't going to be a big deal.
So enjoy the device
Do a Screen Test to check the display.
Check the sensors etc with the app DevChek.

I dont think my battery life is as good as it should have been...
I had Poco X3(6000mAh) previously which had better battery life than my current F62.
Can you check out the values in the app I mentioned. It will be a great help. Thanks
Btw I am not the creator of that app and that app doesnt even have adverts so I am not gaining anything except release from my paranoia.

Also wear is wayyyy... more than what its supposed to be
yess sadly
How many years does Samsung support their phones with spare batteries when you eventually need to replace it or do they expect us to just chuck their latest and greatest phone out and buy a new phone every 2 years, rinse and repeat?
Out of curiosity for everybody that has already rooted are you able to check the following:
1. Possible to disable the power hungry Mongoose cores completely? This is a major source of power drain when not gaming
2. What are the default cpu and gpu governors and their respective governor tunable settings? Please post screenshots from a kernel manager
3. Can you disable schedUtil governor and allow cores to be switched off keeping only the power sipping A55 cores on?
4. How much is your active drain per hour? 10-15%/hour and standby drain per hour? Losing 5-10% every night or do you use greenify etc?
5. Please post your battery usage stats with general use SOT you achieve using GSam or Better Battery Stats which shows deep sleep stats
I have rooted Samsung F62. Let me know, if you need anything else.
