Wing speed

ok you kno when u start your device for the first time or hard rest it, when u slide the phone up and down and the screen is so responsive. But after when it boots up its sluggis. Is there anything out there to make the screen change faster.
Or is there a rom out there with great speed with slowing down the phone?
HelpPlease

Hi rod1189,
I was searching the same thing and tried many of the ROMs, by the way thanks to ROM developers effort and time they gave the privilege of trying different ROMS, finally I am using Just2Clean and I think it is fast, of course not that responsive cause I think it depends on the hardware but when you slide the keyboard it takes about a second to respond, and boot time is nearly 42 seconds.

Overclock it? I have mine set at 312. It's awesome.

Here is the average speed of mine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnBkfl2pC00
I use JustMe from ivanmmj, overclock to 299 and remove all the unneeded today plugins using Today Plugin Uninstaller.
On the video I am still using HTC Home but I use a simple rltoday xml skin and it even sped things up more.

But dosent overclocking eat up the battery. and how log does yours battery last b/c mines get drained like crazy without any kind of overclocking program

Battery life on my wing has consistently been under 8 hours for constant use (sms, web(using opera mini) games. Cut that number in half if I use wifi and Skyfire. 48 hours for standby with only sms and a few calls. It doesn't matter if I overclock or not my battery life is pathetic. Honestly I am used to it and just enjoy using my phone. I use a car charger alot when I am away for extended periods of time. My wife has an Xperia and her device last two times more than mine given both scenarios. It is just the battery quality. You might consider buying a bigger better battery if it is an issue.
Note: These are my personal averages and are not metered and verified by any official source.

Mine battery life is great even with overclocking. I can last 3 days without charging but thats just texting and talking. If i use Wifi and internet program(skyfire,opera,IE) it can drain my battery fairly quick. But i only use wifi for short periods at a time anyway.

well if this helps in anyway to determine the problem mines is a
VLN-08
1200mAh
3.7v.

buy a new battery man mines 2000 maah it last me exactly nine hours wit wifi n da battery i bought its called an extended battery for wing so my battery is around 80% longer than da original

highly recomend the battery fix for you.... If your wing is flashed, then you will get bad battery life. period. the cooks need to have the battery fix in the rom or you need the battery fix seporatly if your flashing.
for wizard but the fix works.

Draining before Charging
I have been hearing that people have said that its best to drain your battery and then charge it. Is that true? Because they say on cooked roms they dont give accurate battery readings. And they also drain quick as well.
Any Help would be appreciated.

How long did it end up lasting after you did that. Did our battery stop losing power % like every 8-10 mins. Mines do that now. Now im like whats the point of having new rom for the wing if its juss gonna die this quick with no overclocking or anything.

Extended Battery Information!

Hi guys, long time lurker first time posting.
I have the Droid Eris and just picked up the Imagio today to see which I like best.
I noticed when pulling the cover off the imagio the plug/adapter and battery all looked very familiar. After further review it is in fact the EXACT same battery that HTC puts into the Droid Eris. I happened to order a Innocell Extended battery from Seidio. I pushed it in and it worked like a champ!
I cant post links yet but the product information is:
Product Code: BASI17HHRV
Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery
Under HTC Eris on their webpage.
www . seidioonline . com
Hope this helps some of you!

Link?
Is this what you were looking at? I hope so, I'd love to be able to get more battery life out of my phone!
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17hhrv.htm

I really don't mean this in the negative way it will sound, but...
The stock battery is 1500mah & replacing it with a 1750mah battery isn't worth thinking about less you have destroyed your stock lipo entirely & can not have it replaced (which verizon & HTC do)

I had it around from my Eris, and I do notice a longer battery life out of the 1750. I especially need it as my apartment is like norad and I dont have much signal there, so it hops in and out of signal range, putting a drain on my battery.

Battery Life

Just wondering what battery life people are getting from their N1, considering an N1 or Desire v buying another HD2 on contract but would prefer a better battery life than I got on the HD2,

Not totally related to the OP... I'm considering getting the Desire/N1 from AT&T or Verizon (if and when they get them) Using the current state-of-the-art technology in these new phones.... is it still the case that CDMA consumes more battery power than GSM?

You guys know that you can do a search right? anyway I've been on wifi all night with light usage. So far its been 12hrs and I'm at 65%.

Maybe I searched in the wrong places in the xda forum. I searched in the Imagio forum which is the only HTC world phone currently using CDMA & GSM, but there was nothing specific to the battery life of GSM vs CDMA in those threads. I also searched under the TP2. I know that the the CDMA N1 has yet to be released, so was looking for battery life information related to recent CDMA phones models which are also available in GSM... like the TP2. Maybe you found a CDMA vs GSM battery life thread that I missed, can you point me to it?

Nope didn't see one here. Just saying to do that first. As for the CDMA I suggest you search else where because no one gonna know an answer for CDMA vs GSM in an N1 thread. You can just wait til its released, the phone ain't gonna go anywhere you know, it will be available after a month of release too.

Getting approx 48 hrs with standard use (bit of surfing, email, txt's few calls bit of music on the way into work etc).
Decent 3G coverage at work and wifi at home, phone rarely has to hunt for signal.
Phone was charged last night and is showing 89% remaining - unplugged since ~ 7am thismorning.
Screen usually sits at the lowest brightness which is fine for indoor use.
I found a HUGE difference in battery life switching chargers. Originally used the supplied USB lead via a cheapy charger adapter thingy (how techincal! - it's the ones which allow you to plug in a USB lead and charge your phone)
Now switched to the charger which came with my bluetooth headset and that's helped no end with battery life. A full charge takes MUCH longer (usually ok as its charged overnight) so that maybe something to do with it.

My battery life was awesome for the first couple days, but now its just sucks... I lost 3 percent while it was just sitting on my pocket on my drive to work.
Yesterday I played Homerun 3D for 2 hours also and went from a 100% charge to 62%.
But mine is rooted, has the baked goods rom, and an auto rotating launcher with 7 screens while the brightness is always at 100%. Yea I guess you can say I'm a power user

I leave wifi on all the time and am getting 60+ hours of life out of it before a recharge. 3g is a battery killer .. roughly 18 hours with 3g on the entire time.

I see... I was looking for a "General" answer given the state-of-the-art of GSM and CDMA "HTC" smartphones as it relate to battery consumption. So the question still remains... given that xda is the forum where HTC smartphones are widely discussed I believe that posting the question here was adequate. The N1 is an HTC that uses components similar to other HTC phones. You might not think so... but we'll have to disagree on that.
EDIT: Btw, the question came to mind because a NYTimes article last week states that CDMA consumes more battery life than GSM. I recall this being the case in the past, but not sure if this is the case now-a-days. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/11/technology/11basics.html

To update - still at ~ 40%, no overnight charge. Moderate use last night.

This question is terribly subjective to the user/location. As one person point out, WIFI is more efficient then 3g, so some people see a huge advantage here.
My building also gets HORRID service, so my phone is constantly trying to find a signal which kills any phone battery
I think one cuold easily make the general statement that no this does not have the battery life of a blackberry, but the battery life is more then adequate. You can easily tailor your use to whether a charger is near.
If i know I cant charge it, I either carry a 2nd battery or take a few steps to save life. I turn my screen down(I like full brightness), clock the CPU down to 883, you could even turn off 3g networks unless you need Data for some reason. It would not be too hard to get this thing to 48 hours with normal talking/texting/some light browsing etc..
I am very impressed with the battery life overall.

Let me qualify my question a bit more... Assuming that the signal strength from both CDMA and GSM sources are either at "optimal levels" or at "similar low levels" and using the "same model" state-of-the-art Smartphone... Will the battery of the Smartphone using CDMA, last longer than the same model Smartphone using GSM?
As it relates to the N1... I understand that when the N1 from Verizon comes out that folks will be able to compare the performance of its features against the performance of the same features on the t-mobile N1.

Guys, help me out here. I hardly even pass 12hrs with light usage on 3G with automatic brightness. Man what the hell are you guys doing to get such good battery life??? Did you charge the phone on the first day without turning it on? do you charge it off?? come on, I'm so angry that I got HTC to send me a new battery which should be here shortly. So any tips can help me out here.
I use wifi at home now, get like 14hrs, but with battery tools I get 20hrs last night. But there is something obviously wrong with my phone here. So please help me out here

my battery life is not what I would like to call great, but compared to some of these stories I guess I'm getting better than most.
The single biggest thing to help battery life is to have your phone rooted and use SetCPU to make a profile to not allow the processor to clock above 500 MHz when on standby.
Before all of you go crazy and say "OMG jz9833 I bought a 1 GHz snapdragon to run at 1 GHz" calm down. The droid runs at 600 MHz so when your screen is off why not have it run at speeds around the same as a droid? This helps.

Well im om stock so that aint gonna work for me. Thanks for the info tho. When I get root it will be the first thing to do.

What have you done for battery life so far?

So as I mentioned in the battery life thread, in the T-Mo store, the Galaxy was reporting 2d5h on and still had 32% left in the tank. Obviously that is without SetCPU or anything and people have to have been playing with it. Even not, 30%/day not being touched is pretty good. What have you guys done for battery life? Have you noticed the "ramp up" time that is always claimed by cell phone manufacturers? Mine has sucked today but I've been beating the hell out of it. I'm going to charge it and let it stay unplugged overnight to see what the standby drain is but what is everyone doing? Have you messed with SetCPU at all?
Thx

Who cares, I'm buying 2 spare batteries from Ebay, just like I had for my G1. I can go thru all 3 batteries on my G1 while at work for 10hrs. So, I'm assuming I will get similar results.

Haha I know what you mean. That's what I love about having a removable battery. Who cares right? Swap it out and you're good.
As for my experience, the battery live has been good. The battery status bar up top is not accurate though. Similar to the reception (bar) problem how it shows no bars but you actually have great signal. I'm sure a software fix will be available soon for this. Very minor.
Here are some things you can do to improve battery life:
Remove all unnecessary widgets off your screen. I had an analog clock on there and when I removed it, I noticed better battery life just from that. No joke.
Turn off the live wallpapers. Those drain battery too.
Turn off wifi if not using it
Turn off bluetooth
Set the notifications to refresh at a longer interval instead of like every 5 mins etc...
If you're really nit picky, check "use only 2g networks..." - I personally wouldn't.
Adjust your screen to the lowest brightness. I love that it's an SAMOLED screen, because I could never get by with the lowest setting on other lcd screens.
Hope this helps man...enjoy!

By the way....regarding non-OEM batteries....I do notice that they are all 1500mAh (like oem), but I've always had a stigma about putting generic batteries into expensive devices.
I guess where my stigma comes from is due to my past experience with my digital camera, when I took photos of a wedding and my files got corrupted. My only explanation was because I was using a non-oem battery, because ever since that I've only used oem batteries along with that same memory card and have never had a problem since. It's been 3 years.
Since the non-oem batteries are 1500mAh, it shouldn't matter right? Now that I think about it, I do remember the camera batteries being of a higher mAh than the original battery...I know this only has to do with the capacity, but as for the voltage output, could there have been a strange surge to cause the corruption?
I know I'm just being paranoid, but just thought I'd get some input from those who know about the mechanics of batteries and the likelihood of any malfunction due to it being a cheap non-oem battery made in china.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My biggest battery drain was use wireless networks was disabled by default. All apps that tried to get my location therefore turned on GPS. One widget was bugged and would keep using GPS, killing my battery overnight. Uninstalled the widget and enabled use wireless networks and only lost a percent or two overnight. Make sure the GPS icon is not consistently on when not using Google Maps and whatnot.

This didn't really do anything for me. Under usage it definitely uses less battery than my N1 but standby SUCKS. How did the one in the store get 2+ days. I switched from GSM/CDMA Auto PRL to just GSM Auto PRL. I am switching back. WCDMA Preferred actually got me better battery on the N1.

The Amps and Volts are important, but in a battery is only a small part of it. The quality matters, the drain matter, it's max input matters, it's sensitivity to fluctuation, sensitivity to over charge... etc etc etc...
That being said, most modern devices these days have a lot of internal fail safes that should try to stop anything crazy from happening... because really the battery could have any amount of amp hours rated to it, how much it can and will output is what matters though. You could theoretically make a battery the size of a car battery for the thing that with 1500AH (aka 1,500,000mAH) would give you a retarded amount of standby time as long as it was rated about the same on everything else... although charge that thing wrong and you would have a pretty cool fireball...

an app called juice defender seems to work pretty good for me on the vibrant (ultimate juice is the paid version with all the features). I previously used it on my cliq and had good results also.
what it does is disables apn and/or wifi and you choose what intervals it comes back on. example - you could have it come on every 15 minutes for 1 minute at a time to complete necessary syncs. you can also set up night schedules etc.
I would recommend this app if you're lookin to save some battery. it also has a little widget to show you how much battery you have saved. not sure how accurate that is though. good luck!

Is it cool to use the home charger for the nexus one AND the Galaxy interchangeably?
I ask because I'm ignorant to the amps/differences. It would be lovely to keep one charger at home, and one at work.

I stopped caring. As long as it has enough to charge to stay on between unplugging it in the morning, and plugging it up at night, I'm golden. I've had the phone since launch, and I've only charged it up twice, so that's about two days between charges. I got it with a roughly 60% charged battery.

Galaxy S/Vibrant charger is 5v @ .7A. I think I read that the N1 wall charger is 5v @ 1A. It'll charge a little faster, and will probably heat up the battery more, but it shouldn't destroy the phone. I'm sure somebody smarter will correct me, though.

[Q] Battery Life

Hello Guys,
I have a new Samsung Focus, around 3 days old.. I have been given a 1650 mAH battery. The battery life is terrible, discharges like 10% in one hour with hardly any usage with Wifi OFF, Edge ON, auto brightness and all the power saver methods applied.
Should i charge it overnight or something ? Like 12 hours at a stretch or something?
Pls help

I'd take the battery out and feel it. If it's a Samsung battery, it should be perfectly flat on the sides. I was having terrible battery life, and it was because the battery had gone so bad that it was bulging.

Can you please detail your WP7 OS build, if it's an OEM Samsung battery or a generic one? It looks like you have a bad battery, same conditions as yours my one year+ OEM battery holds 3days+
There's also a specific thread for battery life I started a while ago over here

The battery is curved on the left and right sides, flat on the top and bottom. Its a SAMSUNG battery EB575152LU 1650 mAh. I am not sure if its OEM or generic
OS version : 7.10.7720.68
Should i ask the seller to send me a 1500mAh NEW battery? mayb thats causing the issues?
Or I should wait for a few charge cycles to complete?

With the infos that you just shared, it looks as the battery has gone bad.
I wasn't aware of an OEM battery 1650 mAh, see my reply here. Can you confirm it looks like that or maybe post a photo of it?
Keep in mind that cheap batteries look like those but there are significant differences, but you'd need an original battery for comparison.
Even one of my chinese cheap batteries still holds 70-80% of the regular battery... (that's 2+ days in the conditions you mentioned above)

It looks just like the one in your post, except for 1650mAh. Looks like original/OEM Samsung.. will send pics once i get home.
Morning charge was at 100% . Hardly any usage, some amount of whatsapp texting, now phone is switched off
The seller has agreed to send a replacement battery. I am just hoping that it is not a phone fault or Mango update screwed it up. Can it be a phone issue?
Checked on amazon, one guy said The battery does not hold charge, otehr said that NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATIOn should be written below Samsung, which is not the case in mine.

7720 has quite good battery life so shouldn't be a phone issue. I have 2 Focuses and both hold about the same and from what I've read so far, only a big hardware problem (like phone overheating) could cause so dramatic battery discharge. Also, weak network signal might cause faster drainage, but not at this rate. You can try switching 3G off (lowering to EDGE) and see if it makes any difference.

Hmm.. I even turned off 3G. Let me check again.
If I install any customs WP7 roms , will it make a difference.?
I 'll re check once i get the new batteries..
Thanks for your help. Appreciated

The dft/miro custom roms offer better battery life, but by a margin, don't expect miracles. Your battery should be able to hold more than a day in your conditions, and I bet that's to blame in your case.
Let us know how it goes with the new battery.

Thanks for your help.
Now, the battery life has increased quite a bit.. getting around 12 hours on a full charge using the same 1650mAh battery . new one is yet to arrive.
Heard 8107 update considerably increases the battery life? but i have ATT uncloked focus in India. If i use ChevronWP7 to unlock it , it gets relocked on zune sync right? I am confused as to "relock" here is whether Carrier relock like I cannot use my local GSM sim here? or developer relock? I am sorry, new to all this

Read my post here. Ignore any flashing, just understand the steps and what's written there (eg: Flashing, downgrading, upgrading firmware etc does not affect Network Unlock).
Basically, after you unlock with WindowsBreak project, you just need to run steps 3 and 4 there.

what is the most powerful battery out there for our focus??? any suggestion?

Read this post on the battery life thread. It's a Samsung EB625152VA (OEM) battery of 1800 mAh. There are others labelled with more mAh, but many are scams, rebranded.

hi, i got a Samsung EB625152VA (OEM) battery of 1800 mAh.
But it seems the back cover doesnt fit so properly with this battery inside.
Do i need to do any modifications in order to make it fit ?

While surfing in internet via wifi, in 1 hour it drains 15% of battery, is it normal?
