Low battery life

I recently got my old 8125 replaced, and the new one seems to have significantly less battery. On a day with 10 hours of standby and 3 hours of usage, I got it down to 23%. What do I do?

do you have the v2 rom installed ? I noticed a much better battery life when i moved from v1.x.x to v2.x.x

What type of usage? Streaming audio , wireless connectivity etc will all lower your battery life, the one thing that seems to lower mine fastest is actual phone calls.

i was post there about the batterie :

Battery Drain
I had the same problem. Within one hour of unplugging my phone, the battery level was down to 80%. I upgraded to the 2.17 ROM and am amazed at the battery life I am getting now. It also seemed to speed up my MDA siginifcantly.

I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45295 <- The custom one.
I'm connected to EDGE during usage, but that wasn't such a big deal with my previous phone.
I made 3~4 phone calls that all lsated under 5 minutes, so I don't know what the problem is.
The only difference I have between these phones is that on my older phone, I used the I-Mate ROM, and have SPB pocket+ with some extra software installed. On my new phone, I increased the glyph cache to 4000-something and enabled cleartype in landscape and portrait.

The battery life on my MDA is TERRIBLE too!! I have no complains except for the battery life and the unstability sometimes. I have to restart the device at least 2 or 3 times a day due to freezing. I figure the rom upgrade would fix that but I still have NO CLUE on how to do a rom upgrade. I've asked several times, and have yet to be answered with a newbs guide to unlocking and upgrading roms
BTW, I'm using a mac so I can't sync to a PC...Any other way to upgrade roms?? Cab files that can be emailed to my phone etc??

DJ Swivel - I'm finding that this board is extremely intolerant to questions and newbies. You'll have to do a lot of digging to find what you're looking for, I've asked numerous questions (and I know a lot, used to work on the Pocket PC team at Microsoft) but no one bothers to answer.
I think there are a lot of selfish people in this forum, IMHO.

I found quite the opposite these are some of the least rude and most helpful boards I read. What exactly about these replies was rude BTW?

I never used the word 'rude'. In fact, it's the opposite - people ask questions and the rest of the board simply ignores them. I've read through just about every thread on this board, and most of the time when someone posts a question that should have been answered in the initial post no one bothers to respond. It's not that people are rude, they're not. In fact, they're friendly - when they decide to actually help someone.
I read through 20+ pages in the unlock thread. The original poster of the unlock file never explained the difference between Unlock and CID Unlock. Despite there being 20+ pages in the thread, not one person bothered to answer the numerous questions about what they were. I find that typical for this board. If the initial poster cared about people who don't know what that is, or if the responders would help the people who were asking this board would be a much more useful resource.

Please, stop arguing and help me D:

For me, I had crazy battery drainage when I had the fake MiniSD in the slot (you know the black peice that comes with the Wizard). I seen some significant battery performance after I installed my 2gb MiniSD. I know it sounds weird but its actually true.
I use EDGE all the time, I connect my Wizard to my car whenever I'm driving. I never use the radio. I watch videos while I'm in class and I play Bubble Breaker for hours at a time.
Its funny that in the end of the day, I still have 50% battery life remaining. This is what I hate because I really dislike charging my battery from halfway. I want it completely drained, so I spend couple hours on the phone talking to a friend of mine.

I completely agree...I hate having to ask the same question OVER and OVER again, but nobody wants to help. Whoever moderates the forum should just post a sticky with basic things such as ROM upgrades, and basic newb information to prevent the numerous unreplied threads....

Or you could get off your ass and search. I knew nothing a week ago and in one day I was able to unlock and reflash my phone just from posts in this forum. If you're not getting an answers its probably because countless people sign up for an account and make a bunch of posts that have already been answered several times without even searching. NO ONE is going to spoon feed you so stop crying and click that search link. And you could also show a little respect to the people on this board that have made all these tools and custom roms possible. They're not making any money and they don't owe you anything.

I don't generally have to ask many questions in the forum but I find that people are very helpful on this site.
people don't get paid for posting and answering questions so I think it is unfair to complain, I have a htc wizard yes, the battery life isn't amazing but it should last a day easily, I probably make about half an hours worth of phone calls a day, use wireless for a couple of hours browsing ( using phone to post this) send a few texts. listen to music and browse net using gprs a couple of hours a day while comuting but still manage to have over 30% battery left at end of the day, personally I wouldn't expect the battery to last much longer, don't forget you are not just using a phone.
Cheers
Steve

Actually with a Li-ion battery, you should avoid completely discharging your battery. You should charge as often as possible in fact.

during the 3 hours usage, what did you do on your device whether using Wlan/ Bluetooth/ Window Media Player or so on? Could you enumerate all of those you did during the 3 hours usage? :idea:

Do you think I'm retarted? Of course I've searched, but as I said, I only use a mac and have no access to PC's. I've searched and haven't been able to find any information I need on upgrading ROM's from a mac. So I ask, and ask again, without any help. What a douche...

Well thats the problem! Buy a real computer, nobody cares about Macs. But in the spirit of not being a douche if your mac has an intel processor you can always get apple's windows emulator and run windows that way. I still suggest buying a real computer though.

Note that real computers:
1. Have a consistent user interface across programs and contexts.
2. Don't need daily patches just to keep them running.
3. On the other hand, have significant improvements in features and performance on a continuing basis.
4. Work they way you wish they would work.
5. Plus they look cool, not like a left-over from a 1960s episode of the Outer Limits.
While unfortunately I am stuck with Windows, I support every True American that stays with Apple through thick and thin.
Seriously, one of the big problems with discussion boards is that you can search, but that doesn't mean you'll find... Usually you just get a link to a thread and you then have to go through multiple pages of posts to either (a) find the one bit of information you need, (b) find the final solution which in some cases may take weeks' worth of posts to unfold, or (c) finally conclude that there is not a solution. I totally agree that there should be a better FAQ. And "someone should really do that." (not me)

Programs you use

Hey everyone - now that many people are getting the HD (through the post, shop, stealing, whatever) I was wondering what programs that people are using.
If possible, please also state what the app does. eg;
Coreplayer - multiple-format video player.
Also, please post in Beards' topic with version numbers, screen resolutions, etc!

That tells us what programs work, not what the programs do and why people use them.
Different topics IMO. I'm interested in this thread.

Thank you for correcting my error constructivly, Beards. I don't venture out of BLACKSTONE or ELF, really. Will do, now.

Your topic, as useful as it is for the elite, is also a big tease.

Jon,
All you need do is go to the topic and ask......
Yes, the topic does list software titles working/not working but there's nothing wrong is posting anything specific about a specified program.
In fact I personally would recommend it.... The more information available is so much better.
Beards

This all stems from the fact software is a total mess on windows mobile - even looking at the biggest sites like clickgamer and handandgo none of them have support for the HD yet. As soon as microsoft bring out their software store the better - that's one thing apple got very very right with the iphone.

Couldn't agree more Jonathan.
At the moment it's a total minefield in ascertaining what does and does not work.

There, edited the first post. People can post in both topics. I think it would be interesting to see how many people, for example, used LunarTilt or that iPhone GUI - Beards, with your topic, if someone sees Coreplayer 2.5, they may not bother to list any other interesting apps they use.

Thanks for the link Acelister.
If I find anything of interst applicable for this topic I'll pass it back on to you.
Beards

one major problem and handicap windows mobile will have over the iphone.
The mobile osx is only one device (iphone), so it is a lot easier for developers to create and optimise software for the device, as for wm the developers have to think about the many different devices, thus full optimisation isnt really possible, that is why not all programs will run on all devices.

cor blimey - didn't mean to start anything off here, sorry!
The thread of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663 is fantastic, and very much appreciated.
If I ever catch up with you guys who have been playing with WM for years, and come across an unlisted app that works, please be assured that I will add to it
However - as a noob, short of Googling each and every one of them to find out what they do (ok, some are pretty obvious!), I have no idea which fall into the categories of "kinda vital" through to "dead useful if you want to do something dead specific".
What I was really hoping for in this thread (and I guess supersquash in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446128 and Philo25 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445543) was a sort of 'starter for 10'.
Looks like between the various posts we're getting there though, so MANY thanks to everyone

Well I've never really gone out of my way to install anything on my Touch Elf, so this was pretty new to me too. I've been getting the hang of it though.
I've installed:
Advanced Config (changes various hidden options),
Capsure (screen capture utility),
Coreplayer (video player),
Klaxon (alarm),
Total commander (better than File Manager),
SPB Mobile Shell (makes the Today screen look completely different),
iFonz (makes the Today screen look like the iPhone).
Those are all easily found using Google.

Nice one Sir - good to see there's a few of us in the same boat!
sounds like a good starter list - now I just need to start Googling where to get these from...

To all frequent Questioneers - Please Read First!!

I have noticed in a couple of threads that there seems to be a large amount of, shall i say, lazy people.
Neglecting to use the search function, disrespecting others who are fed up answering the same questions again and again.
It seems they can't (or are simply to lazy to) read, use the search button or even common sense
Well i recall a small little flash movie i saw once upon a time on the steam forums. After a little searching with my mate GOOGLE i found it again.
No Reason for lazy people now No Reading involved, just sit back and watch this little "movie"
Ok, ok before anyone starts flaming me with crap like (but thats about the steam forums blabla) The Information affects every forum as everyone of them also has a search function

This is a very useful and entertaining film - it would be great if you could make it required watching with every new registration.
I believe the REAL issue is that people don't know how to best perform searches by utilizing keywords. Say I'm having an issue with my z plantronics bluetooth headset on my HTC HD2 Leo phone - providing all the relevant search terms, model numbers, etc an including "xda dev" (or other forums) can put you where you need to be better than "plantronics headset". And using googles image link can help you determine your model - a picture is worth a million web pages. My, hopefully relevant, contribution.

anddroid on HD2. is it Possaoble?

I had my hd2 for 2 months and i love it. But, im getting very disappointed that it's lacking in apps and community support unlike the andriod and iphone os. I see poplur apps that are available for android and iphone but not wm. i am starting to wish i never got the hd2 and really wish i knew about the evo thats coming out soon.
on top of that i see the phone on ebay has really dropped in price to about £270 ($411)
so is it possible to put android on hd2?

Wow
Before you get blasted for making a post and not searching let me give you some advice, Search! There are a LOT of threads about Android on HD2, it's not there yet but it is being worked on. Really, type Android in the search bar and you will see all the threads asking the same thing, good luck

*INSERT GENERIC FLAME HERE*
Your luck i just dont have the energy today

If you used the search functions (like most people) you would find your answer.
If you did this simple thing you would find that at this time, its not yet possible, HTC have the best group of developers on it but are having some trouble with the porting or something.

I bet your cooked ROMs will taste delightful!

Off: I succeeded in using my HD2 as a condom yesterday! Took me ages to port every bit of information...
On: Let's assume you haven't read the forum rules, thus you wouldn't know about the built in Search function. There`s Google. Why not Google for something (such as "android on hd2")? After all, it`s much easier to type and to read than typing a long post on a board where you need an account and where you need to wait for others to answer your question...

At least he searched the price of the HD2 on ebay...

It also really surprised me to see the price of HD2 drop down so quickly. Maybe mostly because not so many people can get on well with HD2, which is the best phone I've ever bought.

Easy on the flaming guys. Im sure he understands now. For all u know, u might just drive someone away from xda with negative thoughts......where as this is one of the most helpful community.

Like yourself I'm a new HD2 owner. I can understand why you might think there's a lack of apps for our device, when devices like the iPhone have 160,000+ apps. However I've found four different GPS nav apps out there (Igo, CoPilot, TomTom and Garmin), an app to make a flashlight out of your camera LEDs, a registry editor, a voice-dialler, a metal detector, a decent file explorer, a media player etc etc etc. The question needs to be asked, how many media players / file explorers / gps apps do you need on your device? For me, one of each is more than enough. Many of the iPhone apps are just double-ups of the same functionality.
After getting my phone I spent the next week on XDA searching for apps, themes, tweaks and games, trying them out and working out what works and what doesnt.
My HD2 is now running and looking mint, and I've got more games than I know what to do with. As the others in this thread have already pointed out, you do need to take the time and use the search function.
As for support, you couldn't be more wrong - it was the emmense wealth of knowledge of XDA-developers that gave me the confidence to buy the HD2. It will take you time to find the info you're looking for in these forums, but the answers are there, and you'll end up with a superior phone to the iPhone if you're prepared to give it a chance.
Drop me an email on [email protected] if you'd like to know where to find the bits you're after.

Not only he did not serch .. but hes speling sux too. !

[Q] Android to Playstation Relations...

Multiple Questions -
Would like a solution for all of them but will be researching on my own and posting updates about what I find as well. I want to begin by first asking you for your patience, and Thanking you for everything you guys do here at XDA. I sctually feel kinda cool, being a part of it. I cant wait to learn and master the world of Android and use it in my career field - Technology - IT
Also, trying to start a new discussion thread. (after my questions are closed out finished here, Id like to see it become a place where people come and are looking for a general place to look at cool ideas for your Android and PS3 and what you can do with them together. First, since I looked at all my questions and found sever closely worded scenarios that weren't what I wanted, You need a little background on me and the actual scenarios to get the full grip.
Okay, here it is. Ive been looking for a= for all the cool things I could do with my Android (Droid X2 - 2.3.5/Rooted- Eclipse 2.0.4) that involved my new PS3. I just got the PS3 and I was a hardcore Playstion fan since my early childhood. My first console as a matter of fact, was the PS1 with Gran Turismo 1. And while looking through the OS3's capabilities, I was Astounded... Yes you may like the Xbox 360 and I will give you that it is a very good gaming system that has many great and popular games (and you can play music saved on the local HD whilst you play {I havent quite gotten that done yet on the PS3 but I hope to.}) The Sony is much more.. You can do many interesting and by definition awesome things via Networking, Bluetooth, Internet, etc.. I recently graduated with my Assoc. in Networking and Im always thinking of all the things I need to make happen and what all will be required to preform, thus my occupation as a Network Admin (a beginner, but with excellent troubleshooting skills and quick learning). I hope to go back and BS in it as well and eventually master it (I want mo money) but while I am in my BS program, along with some other essential Cert's I will be needing, I want to completely and thouroughly learn the Android world and get a cert in it. I love the Android technology and capability.. :0 So, instead of reading forum after forum, like I usually do, Ive decided to join many of these forums and actually start, I figure you help me, I help you, we all get better. And, I'll be able to ask specific things, in my own words and have intelligent, Android users/devs to answer me and teach me (something Google cannot do.)
Now that you have a background on me (cause you may see me a lot), I must digress and get o with it. After Running through all the forums looking up ideas for my Droid X2 and how to use it to do a ton of cool things with my PS3, I will admit I had my heart set on a few specific things, but I found that there are a few threads about these kind of things and some are duplicate and there isn't a lot said.. Im opening this thread to get an answer to a few good questions of mine and then to leave it open for a discussion thread for anyone looking for the same kinda stuff one day so itll be all here, instead of way out in the cloud in bajillions of different places..
So, FIRST: I wanted to save a little money on a Playstation 3 remote (the one you use to wathc movies, like a T.V. remote) and use my android somehow via an app communicating with the Sony via bluetooth, network (since my phone is rooted and basically on the same Network as the Sony) anything. Is there anything like this out there? I am in the process of researching CM for the Droid X2 and Im learning about it, apparently the only app out there to do this with is Blueput droid I believe and its only $3 in the market but, Im an android/IT/hacker mod kinda guy, as long as its smooth stable and WORKS, and I believe that there is usually always a free way (on most things small like this esp) Blueput came out in beta for free but it only works for certain devices DX2 not being one of them, unless... You have CM7 any and all information about anything In my post would be saved and studied and used to learn with. So I can Own and be like you guys, a developer. So feel free to answer any and all of the trillion things you notice me wondering about and you happen to know or have an idea, I will work with you too} Now, I think CM7 will work on the Dx2 now, Ive been seeing so many people talk about how awesome it is, and that takes me to the second--
SECOND: Cyanogenmod {7} -- I have seen people raving about this, and from what I've gathered its a ROM with certain features. Can anyone tell me why this is so popular and whats so cool about it. Note: I'm also curious to any bugs or issues with the Dx2 as well.. Something good to know BEFORE you tackle a project. However, I thought I remember reading somewhere that there was a problem getting CM onto the x2 because of the Bootloader was locked {and still is according to what I read} I know that I may not seem like a computer idiot, I am capable and I can learn anything, but Im about to ask a stupid question, but I wont know til I ask so, will someone attach a link or something tell me in human words, what the boot loader actually is or does? My learning method was usually from the ground up and when I learn all the angles of something I can effectively troubleshoot or combine technollgies to make some cool capability, I should know what a damn bootloader is by now, but whatchya gonna do... *Face Palm
THIRD: Ok so this one is IMPORTANT -- I just got the PS3 and ofcourse I got Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. {Black ops has that cool zombie level you play to pass time with friends or when you're baking up some good *greens the delicious way lol but it was $30 bucks already and MW3 was still 60 and more popular and IMO one of the best ever made to date, and thats considering all games in my lifetime, back to the 90's. So what I wanted to do is somehow use my phone as a head set for the Sony in MW3 so I could talk to the people {I can hear them when they talk and its pretty funny lol} Until just recently I didnt know that online play with the Sony was free.. *Face Palm again... So I immediately got on and started getting my own ass placed at my feet bu children..... I then found that you can hack the game, but I couldnt find any of the hacks online except one password protected rar folder that my rar password recovery program will take it 30 years to crack... smdh I would assume that linux has a method that is MUCH faster. Not that I want to cheat, just use on the campers. and other lobbies full of actual hackers that cheat.. My sole intention is to get very well off at the game and just do free for all. awaiting better stats..
When I looked into this one, I see no hope; but thats where the gurus can help. I know that the Sony and my x2 both use Bluetooth 2.0 but I did see something someone said that the Droid cannot be used as a mic There has to be a way. If not Bluetooth the over the Network or internet or something! Anyways, yeah, that was top priority when I thought of it.
Blueput Droid and CM7 I believe give me the ability to use my phone as a wireless mouse and keyboard, If so then awesome. I still want the DVD Player remote (like the tv remote) function.
I know that the headset or something like it, has to exist. I've even been as far as to say that if I used a remote desktop app (in Android it may be ssh or something, if Im right and remember it being, different and weird.) and when you are in control of said dev, you have access to the system, your external devices such as USM and even, the microphone {tada!} would be an input for the machine I was remoted into. Anyway, I also through the network out their (LAN) bc of DroidMote Beta and that with that capability out there, I know I can remote play my PS3 with a PSP and probably a Rooted android, if so, I can join the Dualshock3 controller to my phone, and then I can play it on my phone with the controller, and using the mic, and speakers and screen! and having said all of this.. A book for goodness sakes.. I may also just be crazy. and wrong, which I am not afraid to admit.
Now I know that this was EXTREMELY long winded, as Im sure you can tell that I took my medicine this morning lol this is one add man that is not hindered by the slow, sluggish effects of having ADD. So, excusing my massive post, I hope that I have started a very useful thread that will attract other posters in the future and will evolve into a PS3:Android discussion forum, saving oodles of people time when searching for this fantastic sorcery I hope I have helped and contributed, as I plan to do for all of you as I can.
Given the information above and the questions I had swarming around that I put on this post, could you help me with these? Thank you in advanced for all that spend their time on this. I appreciate all the work Ive seen you do in the years past and now Im here to help as well.
PS: Since you know I am not to new to forums, meaning that Ive read them ALOT and know how they work basically, I never actually participated (How weak of me; what a drain) So I may not have the method down quite right. I will remember to keep the post's smaller than this one and post in the right place. I am open and begging for any and all tips and information on the forum, Android, and the inquiries above. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
