Little late on the draw man, known issues since day 1.
Now getting it fixed is a different story. Maybe 2.2.1....

Thanks
This had a bunch of good stuff on one page, and it answered one question i had about netarchy-toastmod-cfs-havs-nosbc-universal, and that was is there a differents in CPU voltage for 128MHZ VS 245HHZ FYI @ 128 it draws 164mA @ 245 it draws 238mA.

sweet glad i could help. not exactly what you were looking for, but most of it. Also combines it all onto one page.

Try using Elixir. It's an amazing program that should definitely be getting more attention. I believe it will do everything you need it to do plus a LOT more really awesome stuff!

That Elixir looks nice, i might have to try that one out.

Just seems really ugly and too much going on for me, I like things real nice and simple and elegant.
Just my opinion though, everyone is different. I wasn't trying to offend or anything lol I also had a bad experience with it on Windows Mobile so maybe I just have bad memories of it lol

Battery question

This has probably been asked a million times but I have searched for an hour and cant seem to find exactly what I am looking for. I reset my battery stats because my battery life has been horrible the last week. My phone now says fully charged but the meter only shows 92. Should I let it die completely and recharge completely and then it will be fixed or will it just do the same thing? I am on ICS passion 10.6 if that makes a differnece. Ill be getting a slim 220o mah battery next week but this is still annoying me. I work 10+ hours a day and text my wife a lot and im only getting 13 hrs on the battery. About 100 texts, 30 min of web and I get auto updates via craigslist notification. GPS and wi-fi are off and my sync settings are for 1 time per day. Thanks all!

13 hours is pretty good. also, read this: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT

I like to use an app called android booster u can go in and see exactly what app is draining the most battery that might help

Did you check out the stickied guide called "[How to] You Want Better Battery Life:::Read This" in the Vibrant Q&A section? There's some really good stuff in there. It won't help in solving your battery only charging to 92% issue, but it should help you get the most out of your battery.

Thanks all, my biggest issue I'd with the meter reading wrong, but I'll check out the better battery life thread, I can always use an improvement!

Try downloading "Battery Calibration" from the Market. When your battery reaches the max charge that you see possible, calibrate it, and reset your phone. Always works for me.

Battery works fine?
So no problems with this battery? I saw an 1800 but this might be better if it works and fits ok.

I should have it tomorrow or wed ill let you know about the fit

In the picture on the link you provided, that battery looks like it has four contacts, not like the Vibrant's three.
Some other pics I found on google images show that might be the case, too.
I am not holding out much hope that this battery will work for you. But if it does, please follow up and let us know.

There's a thread out there that says the epic 4g battery works with vibrant

^^ This will solve your battery problem.. The 1800 mAh adds an extra 25% battery life span.. 25% make a HUGE difference

Did it work?? I need to get the 1800 milli-Amp battery. Right now I'm doing the 2 battery swap deal, which isn't too bad

Battery life? + Roms

Does anyone know a Rom that has a lot of battery life with moderate usage? I've tried a lot, but I would like your inputs on it.
While I'm at it, might as well ask all of you what roms your using? I'm using Viper touch 2.1.4 right now.
Edit: using sabsa prime now

I am using Dark Unicorn 2.5.
I was on CM7 for a few weeks, but the ROM was really slow and everything lagged. For instance, when I turned on the screen and unlocked, it took it roughly 5-10 seconds to respond before I could do anything. Other features didn't work, including the Market. I read over 100 posts about this Market issue, and couldn't resolve it. It led me to Dark Unicorn.
Dark Unicorn is insane amazing. Everything works (except720p recording). I have had no bootloops, no random shutoffs, nothing. I am trying to kill the battery as we speak and I cant! I just had the screen on full bright ON all the time, wireless, GPS, bluetooth, and music on for the last 2 hours and it only dropped 20%. I left it on all night with the screen off, 100% charge and it was still 100% in the morning. That includes the Data + Sync being on. On top of it all, I have it clocked at 1.2 right now.
I am thoroughly impressed with this ROM. I cannot gripe because I appreciate the developers work, however, if I had to have one complaint it's that there is no option to turn of haptic feedback for the screen off and on slide. I have disabled it all across the phone, but when unlocking it vibrates.
For anyone who cares, I am using the MDJ Kernel as well.
:good:

Nice I'll try that ROM again! Last time I had some CPU problems, but that was all my fault lol.

Biggest battery
What would be the largest battery for this phone. Right now I'm using the one I got with the phone. On the box it says the battery is 1500mAh, and on the battery it says it's 1400mAh. But what is the largest battery in mAh. And would a anker battery be better even though it's the same mAh? And can someone find me a link

There are "oversized" batteries but you have to take off the rear metal plate and you can't use cases designed for the OE phone size specs. The largest I think I've seen was something like 3500 mAh (again, no rear metal plate to hold battery in but they come with an extra one that's extended and holds the larger battery in otherwise it would fall out), largest that actually fits inside the phone was like 1600 mAh. Perfect for playing Ingress but terrible for using as a daily driver.
