hi guys this may be a noob question but why does my x1's battery life drain in increments of ten like from 100% to 90% to 80% and so on....it doesn't really give me an accurate detail of how much battery life i have. Any ideas?
I'm using SPB shell 2, ROM version 1.03.931.8, software version R2AA008, generic UK
thanks for any input people!!!!!!!
It is the way, the phone (and/or its software) is build. It is as simple as that.
Please do a search. There are many threads about this issue already.

yeah - i'd like to know more about this too
i saw fixed dll's from HTC thru WinHEX
so i notice that assembler's code in that place is different than X1's dll
but i very very bad in assembler
so i can't just cut asm code from one dll and paste in other, because after that needs to have some tuning up of the part of code...
but i know it very easy for specialist
Wait...I thought this was a hardware issue on the X1s...
hey so am i not the only one that has this problem...please let me know if you guys have the same problem and what are the steps to take to resolve the issue. I just want to have my battery percentage drain normal like 94% to 88% and so on. thanks
Here guys...read all about it

These guys have been trying a long time to get the 1% increments working...and haven't managed to do so yet...
stormlv> Thanks for the link.....so for now my questions are answered. Hope some one can fix this problem cause i hate that it drops in 10% increments. Keeping my fingers crossed that a solution will arise very soon!!!!
what difference does it make? lol. you only need to know when its at 100% or about 20% so you know when to charge it. whats in between is irrelevant. they probably set it to decrease 10% at a time because the x1 eats through battery power so quick. if it was set to 1% increments then it would be ticking down almost in real time lol
I'm actually quite happy about the battery life on the X1. I have no problems getting through the day, and I use my phone a lot, day and night. I don't even have to charge it everyday. Compared to other smartphones I've owned, including the Omnia, the X1 has pretty good battery life.

I second this. I don't have to charge my X1 daily and I use it for calls, texts, Twitter, web browsing, and music.
driver calculates percentage by some formula and give us result of CASE :
if current mAh / base mAh > 4070 then a:= 100 %
if current mAh / base mAh < 4070 and current mAh / base mAh > 3900 then a:= 90 %
etc.
in modified dll's that formula changed t a: = ( current mAh / base mAh ) * y
well, something about.
so IT IS NOT HW problem

Lol...true...but when it drops below 20% id still want to have it in 1% increments. That came in quite handy on the P1i.
@ Ethermind
"so IT IS NOT HW problem"
Could we have the corrected driver then? I still don't get why someone would bother write cases when writing the pure percentage is so much easier. I'm a programmer...and programmers are lazy...they want to write the least amount of code. It beats me why theyd write 10 lines instead of 1...
Ethermind...do you have something to back up your claim?

In that topic:

DeadMan have corrected dll of Eten for 1% percentage.
He explains code :

4070: percent=100%
4040: percent=95%

I have downloaded dll from Eten - it almost the same as x1, but some parts of code and size.
so two strings

let's learn ARM assembler
i had a p1i too and one of the first things i noticed was the 10% increments. it did bug me at first but the battery doesnt last quite as long on the x1 as it did on the p1i so i know 20% isnt going to last more than a few hours. i can go about 2-3 days on average use between charges so i just charge it up and forget about it until it hits 20/30% and then i know that i have to charge it sometime that day. when it hits 10% i plug it in. no point waiting for 7% or 6% lol. seems that some people have put the 1% increments on a pedestal and its becoming a big deal. saying that, i wouldnt say no if some clever person figures it out i notice that sktools can give an exact voltage reading. surely someone can translate that information into a percentage?? similar to what deadman and ethermind are talking about.
Got my Nexus One today. I was like a kid waiting to go to the candy store all day at school. I don't know if I have ever looked forward to going to work as much as I did today. Instant impression/feedback on "issues" to look out for:
"Dust Issue": I have no clicking corners or dust under the screen. Build quality seems top notch!
The boxing seems to be top notch as well. Nice design, good layout, I was able to put it all back together with ease(not common with cell phone boxes).
Battery: 42% charged out of the box, which is nice! I am going to give it a go at running it down before bed so I can leave it on the charger overnight to get a good full first charge and set the battery stats correctly.
Beyond that, not much to add to the conversation.
Going to add in some stuff as I go along:
On Screen Keyboard: In landscape I can type faster on this than my G1! I started practicing using the onscreen keyboard on my G1 after I ordered the N1, so the learning curve wasn't as steep as a new user... but none-the-less I can type very fast on this, to say the least. Can't wait to experience the better keyboards out there than the stock one.

The card manual it comes with says to charge it first.
I think if you run it down first without a full charge first, you'll degrade the battery from the get-go.

So it does... eh, I am going to stick to my tried and true method (Also the method the HTC tech training told us to tell customers to use with every single HTC made phone, and the same thing the BB guys said). I already did it this way with 1 N1, and the battery lasted me 24 hours, my manager almost 48, and the tester after her almost 48 hours as well.

Yup, and I have a theory on the dust issue... I think it is because they get too cold in shipping, so the contraction of the screen and seal causes it to come loose... and considering the first couple weeks this phone was launched, we were having a really bad cold spell in the US, it was a bit more widespread than usual.
And yes, Li-Ion, so all I need to worry about it making sure the micro-chip has the proper low and high battery level set.
I could see this cold thing being true, even down here in Florida where I live it is still cold - even in the Winter it doesn't quite get as cold as it recently has. If this theory is correct, then when it starts to get warmer the issue will soon not be a problem.

I am not 100% sure... I would assume if you don't turn the phone on at all, and do as it says, it would turn out just fine and get the 100% level set right, which is the most important one to have properly set. As well, I think it has to do with a small amount of "idiot" proofing the process for people, in that if they do it that way it is fewer steps, and they won't randomly think their battery sucks because they only got 8 hours off it out of the box, or they mess up and put it on the charger right after turning it on and messing up the settings of the micro chip that reads the levels.
I have an "expert" BB training tomorrow, and then in 2 weeks we have our "expert" HTC training. I will ask both tomorrow and at the HTC one why they say this... BB says the same thing in their manual, even though at the tech trainings they tell us otherwise.

Other than the speculation that pjc already made, another reason is that they don't want people to fail to notice that the battery came partially charged and they have a negative impression of the phone when they get the low battery warning so soon during their first experience.
Also, today's phones might come with around 50% charge level, but next month phones might ship with 10% charge or who knows. So, telling them to charge before use avoids any unnecessary brushes with problems arising from doing the initial setup with a low battery. This will be especially true when people starting getting phones after the first OTA is out. If an OTA triggers right after unboxing with less than 20% battery that could be bad.
And, an uncalibrated battery may say 40% out of the box, but in reality it might be at 70% or 20% or who knows - until it is calibrated.
And finally, while the limit that the phone most likely needs calibration on is the lower limit, the consequences of not calibrating the lower limit are simply that you get more warnings sooner than you needed to. It won't actually affect how long the phone can stay on since that is determined by the battery reaching an actual hardware limit that is pretty fixed and measurable (only the estimation of that limit is off, but the phone has a pretty good idea of when it actually reaches that limit). On the other hand, while calibrating the upper limit is probably going to happen anyway just by using the phone and recharging it overnight as many people tend to do, the upper limit is the one that can affect the entire length of time the phone can stay on because if you don't charge it to "true full" then you really do have less energy in the battery.
So, all in all, "charge your phone before use" is probably the best bang for the buck in terms of characters-per-useful-info that they can put on a "read this first" card.
But, for best battery life - read the guidelines posted here and on other forums and sites on how to properly calibrate your battery and follow them. Typically you want to first discharge until the phone forces itself to turn off - then recharge until it says it is full and then keep charging a few hours past that for good measure, then you are golden for a long time...
Anybody heard anything yet about what the battery life is supposed to be like with this phone? I know when I came from the TP to the hero my increase in battery life was like night and day. I am wondering since this has a fast processor and more memory if the battery life will be less than the hero. It just seems to be a waste to have a phone with these kind of features only to be crippled by low battery life. I hope it isn't.

It is more than likely be less than the hero, it has the same size battery mah wise as the hero but the voltage req will probally be slightly higher, so that will mean larger physical size. As far as run time, 4g sucks more juice than 3G, snapdragon at full speed 1ghz sucks more down than the 528 MHz in the hero and the bigger physical screen will also need more power than the smaller hero screen, they both use LCD as apposed to amoled which is amazingly good on your battery. They could and probaly should have went with amoled in my opinion.
I can only speculate but the stock 1500mah battery will probally see an 3600 mah extended battery from seidio about 3-4 months after release, about double the physical size of stock battery and extended back protruding 2-3 mm from the back of the current thickness. The evo is a rather thin phone comparatively so that shouldn't effect it. They usually run around 60-70 usd.
I will definitely be getting one if what I believe is correct, but the only potential problem will be the kickstand, I'm currious as how hay are going to overcome that obstacle. My guess is you will have to sacrifice it like some other phones like the palm pre extended battery that made you get rid of the touchstone functionality. They are good at molding compatible plastic moldings, and great at the batteries themselves, but not so good at engineering anything else into it.
i am going to have to agree with the post above...
same battery cap as the Hero, but with everything bigger and needing more power to function...guessing there will be a lot of people that will be complaining about the battery life (including me!).
I think HTC needs to reconsider this before they release this phone to the market. I am sure they can put 1800-2000mah battery in there.
since we are comparing HERO and EVO... and that we know they will have the same kind of screen...
The Hero's screen is very tough and scratch resistant. I have seen and tested the durability of the screen and I love it!!!
Will the EVO's screen have they same awesome tough screen??

yes it should, the hd2 has the same screen, and it's basically a hardware clone of that phone, very nice and tough. HTC has done very wise in going with the tempered glass, costs more, but definitely worth the added cost.
I heard the moto droid has an even tougher screen with their "gorilla glass" technology. I haven't seen one first hand so I can't compare, but after 2 face first drops from waist height with no screen protector, the hero's screen is as nice as the day I got it. I'm hopeing I can say the same for the evo once I get it, but I'm fairly confident it will.
hd2 tough screen video
There's a video out there somewhere of a guy hammering his hd2 screen with a key and not a scratch.
hd2 extended battery actually gave it the kick stand. I imagine the an evo extended battery will have one too.
I wonder if it will stand up on its own in the portrait orientation like my Mogul does (it has sort of a foot). Doesn't look like it from the pictures.

No, but it does look like the kickstand might work with EVO in portrait or landscape orientation. We won't know for sure until we can get our hands on it.
Hero Battery life is crap.
On my Hero, I get about 3/4 a day's worth of battery... but that might because I am running rooted 2.1 on the device that is not optimized for my phone, but as long as the phone can get me through one full day on the device, I will be fine.

Lol, people act amazed every time they see this done to a glass screen, and it makes me wonder just what they're being taught in science class these days. Glass is harder than the metal your keys are made from so of course it won't scratch. Same thing with razor blades and pretty much any other metal they throw it at in videos like these. What they don't show you is that sand will still tear your screen a new arsehole. Unless you live somewhere absolutely devoid of sand, this phone is still going to need a protector or a slip case.
I've never had problems with my screen getting scratched without a protector. Back on topic though I'm a little worried about the evo's battery life. I get great life on my hero but with all the added goodies I know the evo will get far less. Fortunately I'm rarely without a power source so unless it's totally horrible I'll deal with it.
Evo without 4G?
I live in an area without WiMax (for now), so do you guys think that if I don't have the WiMax radio on it will get at least a days worth of battery?
I read the Touch Pro 2 Battery will work on the EVO anyone know if that's true? I don't remember if numbers of it but I am wanting to say 1400 and i have an extra one that's less..

The EVO uses a RHOD160 1500mAH battery... The battery commonly found in the TP2, I believe.

Not having WiMax or having WiMax will have no significant impact on battery life at all. I have no idea what your phone use habits are so it would be hard to say if you'd get a day out of it or not.

Technically speaking, if you were to turn the WiMAX antennas off, you would increase battery life. The Evo offers the ability to connect to 4G and if not, then 3G... OR... Just 3G, thus turning the WiMAX antennas off.
Will this increase it significantly? Can't really tell you much yet.

If you turned your 4G radio off your 3G radio would take over and I don't see a significant improvement there, now if you turned all data radios off you would definitely see an improvement but at what cost? You'd basically be carrying around a phone with no data capabilities.
I am not sure about the battery. I thought the touch pro 2 battery was the one that works in the hero. It would be surprising to find the hero battery working in the EVO although I would not complain.

you can specify what type of connection in the stock image of sprint android devices. You can tell it 1x or evdo or auto, I would venture to guess they will have a similar option to disable 4g in areas it's not available in.

I think that turning the 4g radio off in areas with no 4g rather then leave it on would help battery life, thus it wouldn't be looking for a 4g network all the time
My one that came with the phone says RHOD160 1500 MAH . The generic one says 1400 mAh 3.7 V. And under the ID number it says HTC with numbers and letters. So will 1400 not work? Reason I am asking is one extra battery is all I will really need. I have this cradle that charges the extra battery now while my Touch Pro 2 is in the cradle/ But my friend is getting the same phone switching from a BB Tour. I said oh I don't need 2 extra batteries I'll give you one of mine which of course was going to be the generic one. But then I thought about buying back my phone to Sprint when I get the EVO which is 82 bucks. Almost as much as selling it for a 100.. So I don't know what to do yet..

Hi
If you look at this youtube video it looks like Samsung Galaxy S II also drains batter fast.
Or simply look at this picture and compare battery and time!
I guess they did not think about that when they made the video
This is Stupid. ... How can you conclude it like this. .. !!! Come on man ... Find something proper to post....
Actually looking at the video it seems that the SGS2 charges its own batteries!1
First the battery is at the red level and after that it is back to green level!
dude, it's a prototype, samsung will fix all the bugs before it gets out.
they could use more than one GSII....
What do you guys expect? Battery to last a full week? They made the battery 1650 mAh now.. Screen is bigger, other fancy things.. It's normal that a phone like this will eat battery. It's a half computer!
have you ever been to an expo like MWC?
devices change hands all the time and get max 30mins of charging before they are given to the next journalist...

I agree, just like they fixed the gps bugs on the galaxy s before release.
The bugs are software related, not hardware - so that gives room for xda developers to start twinkering and improving

Has anyone actually seen the back-cover off displaying a 1650mAh Battery.
I'm not saying the SGS2 won't have one but until I see visual proof I'm running with it being a 1500mAh, regardless to what the written spec states.
Batt consumption can´t be worse than on my HD 2. SGS2 has AMOLED screen which consumes less batt power by 25 %.
But since this is really an "ALMIGHTY" phone one will use it for everything during the day, so will batt-drain SUBJECTIVELY be big...........
What a waste of forum space......a device that is just hitting the market, you didnt even try it yourself, and already speculating about battery performance!!
BTW, which high-end Android phone which such processors, dont drain the battery ??

Well you are comparing 2 different things. Android allows you to run apps in the background which uses battery, it has a touchscreen (most symbian phones don't have that) which is a huge drain.

But really though, go find something else to do with your time.

I found these 3 websites for rooting and I wondered if anyone tried any of them?

I don't want to end up with problems if I try rooting my device so I would like some feedback on it if anyone tried I'm eating Oats at the moment, so I don't want to get into issues and fights with the mobile that broke my bank account. Iv heard that some stuff may not work if you root the V20 - if anyone has experience on that part I would like to know.

none works, as the bootloader can't be unlocked.

Why would Kingoapp say they did root it if not? I'm not sure about the bootloader, but if one can get root without twrp with Kingoapp and get Root and fire up Adaway that would be nice. It seems it's the only real option for getting adds away. I'm so tired of the lockings and adds. *Sigh*
I think I found one solution without rooting it seems that Adblock Plus is running in the backgrond is not working as it should tested in Chrome and on Fly mode with Network connection were it should work with localhost and port 2020 *I think it was*. So I installed Adblock Browser and it worked with removing adds but had issue with Youtube, because it opened the program from youtube which took me some time to find out what was going on. I thought I was still running in the browser but nope! I don't know why it wants to open up in youtube iv not referred or confirmed that it should do it to my knowledge and that is not ad free for sure.
So I found out I could "uninstall" the Youtube app *I don't really think you can make a full uninstall of youtube, but at least it seems as it turns it off and looks like it can quickly be turned on again if one likes in apps*
And it now it plays from the Browser as it should - so I'm testing if it plays ads on youtube now. Hopefully not but it seems there is this unnecessary fight to push on people things they don't want!
I have another Browser as well - but it seems Adblock browser may be the best choice. And for now, may Jehovah Bless you and keep you il continue testing.
*Sigh* close to a need for battery charge. Like charging this 3 times a day.
I wonder why with all that Super charge 3 or what it's called - my old note 2 N7105 rooted charged with 2000 mAh using it or not. But this new phone is only sucking around 150-800 mAh when one is using the phone when charging. Sure it reaches som over 2500 mAh some times when it's charging when in sleep mode but then you cant use it.
So I'm not sure what this fuss is all about in regards of Super charge 3 and faster charging time. I'm not impressed seeing how low a charge I have if I use it at the same time.
A full charge I think takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes if in sleep mode.
Looks like it will not play all youtube videos, iv not had any ads or commercial yet - but I run into a video it won't run in the adblock browser itself.
Il continue testing and see were it gets me
Also in adblock you can play youtube video and have it play in the background and do other things.

Because Kingoapp want's everyone to browse their sponsored website and download the app so they can profit from click baits and ads. Though their app works for cheap chinese smarphones, it will fail if you try it on your V20 device. remember if you can't see a valid post from XDA that it actually works then their claims are not reliable.
So, I just tested my old Phone with my 2 Battery packs and the old and new charger and it says 2000 mAh with all of them using application Ampere to measure.
But on the new phone it's way far lower then those readings.
But the V20 just stays on the low end and I have 5 programs doing the measure which looks to record the same thing. If you use the phone it's around 500 mAh or less. If your in the look screen or sleeping you may get it to around 1500 mAh with the 2 Battery packs and the old Charger.
I'm not going to do the math and do some calculations on the size of the battery and the time it takes to charge it - but if the numbers are correct I don't see much improvement on this technology that tend to be very low in charging when using the phone at the same time. It may also be effected by how hot the phone is, iv seen the charging going pretty low when it becomes a hand warmer when using it and then charging would take a very long time - but even when it's cold it's in the low end of around 500 mAh.
The only positive thing is when it's not being used and it kicks into around 2500 mAh but that is not all of the time charging. Not that I tend to use the phone much when I charge it - but if one was sitting in the train and wanted to give it some quick juice to the phone and meanwhile using it - it would not be an amazing result. One would need a longer trip really get something out of it.
The result may be in error in regards of numbers, we know the battery has 3200 mAh and it takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes I think it was to make a full charge when not in use. So one could do the math.
It seems like the charging is lower in around the last 20% of the V20 phone. Now at 96% and 744 mAh and just some minutes ago it was around 900 mAh.
Whatchu talking bout, Willis?
Is this a question about rooting or a oddly worded rant?
I am perplexed.
Can you send me a private message
