[Q] Lights on Vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to disable the 4 lights on the bottom? I'm assuming this would increase battery performance as the lights are always on when I'm using the phone.

Nope there is not. For better battery life you can recondition your battery.{wipe batterystats.bin} on a full charge. My battery life sucked and what helps a lot is shutting off the data when you are not using it. Your battery life will almost double. Depending on how much data you use.

Where can I find the .bin file?

Dont need to find it.. When your battery is at 100% boot into recovery mode, go to advanced then wipe battery stats. Or you can get battery calibration app in market. Both work good

That's odd that you can't turn off the home row lights as they were off on previous Froyo ROMs. It it a Gingerbread or a Cyanogen thing? They seem to go off every now and then.

Are they on all the time, could be BLN, or LED Notify.

My battery gets drained

Even when my phone is in stand by mode and the screen is off my battery gets killed what can i do?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Two questions
1: What update are you running / rom... stock JFD, stock JI6, Vibrant9, Bionix, Master Rom?
2: What does your phone say is using the batter... sorry if that seems odd but... go to Settings > About Phone > Battery Use. And post the percentages.

Even though your phone is in stand by mode, there are several apps that try to use data services in background. As the previous post suggested look at your phone status to understand what is using most of the battery and might be try killing that task and give it a try.

Charge phone to 100% keep plugged into charger reboot in to cwr under advanced wipe battery stats and then reboot then unplug charger drain battery until it turns off this might help. Also if you are not using the stock kernel that could give you bad battery life

battery conditioning isnt gonna extend battery life as most people think.. all it does is give more accurate battery % reading.
battery depends on how much you use your phone, brightness settings, what/ how many widgets and apps you have and how often do you use them.
im running axura 2.1 just checked 17hrs 34mins unplugged with 32% left
my brightness is at 60% about 2hours total calls, checked ESPNscore about 5 times, roughly 100 or so txt messages, checked Yahoomail and FBook more or less 8-10times each. NO WIDGETS RUNNING, not auto synching with GMail.
** i always odin to stock, then after flashing a new ROM in CWM, i always wipe cache partition, dalvik cache, and battery stats before rebooting**
well hope this helps
Thanks

[Q] App that gives accurate time till battery is discharged/charged

Looking for an app that can give me an accurate time of when my battery will be completely dead, charged, and current percentage. Tried battery eta and currently use battery diviner which.gives me everything Ibwant but I feel its not to.accurate at times. Anyone know if there is a really good accurate app out there or should I stick with just checking the battery level?

This is my first time uploading a picture using my phone, so I don't know if you have to click it or if it will embed, but here is a screen shot of ZDBox's battery manager. You can also set is to display in the notification bar if you choose.

I use ZDBox. I like you can have the info on the drop down. Also will tell you how much time until charged.

Battery went from full at 11pm to 4% at 10am the next morning without usage....why?

This all started when I updated to the new updated version of Android OS that Motorola pushed out. Any thoughts? I just got the phone 3 weeks ago.

Look at your battery usage stats and find the culprit.

It says 14H 6M on battery and it breaks it down as follows:
Phone idle 59%
com.motorola.service.main 14%
Motorola Services 11%
Cell standby 10%

try calibrating your battery (Battery Calibrator on the market) or deleting the battery cache file.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Do you know which works best? There are two apps with the same "Battery Calibrator" name in the market.

What is this app supposed to do? Does it really work?
theres no need to use a app to calibrate your battery i usually just let it deplete to until the phone turns off then plug it in and go straight to cwm and erase battery stats then let it charge to full then reboot into cwm and erase battery stats again.
Are you using faux123 kernel or you are stock?
Please im having same problem can u explain that again for a noob i have cwm just can u put a lil detailed way to do that

Are you asking how to wipe battery stats in CWM? If so..then if your using the latest CWM (that doesn't require you to be plugged in) simply power off your phone, then hold the power button and volume down button (at same time) until Fastboot appears on your screen, then use the volume down button til you see Android Recovery, hit power button to select, use your volume rocker to navigate to Advanced, hit power button to select, then navigate to Wipe Battery Stats and hit power button to select. After that just Go Back until you see Reboot Phone and select that.
No im using the older one that u have to b plugged in can u still do that

[DISCUSSION]Battery calibration

I have read that the battery calibration doesn't work and also I have tried it with no effect.....
So what's your opinion on that??????
Request to mods if not suitable topic to be discussed plz close the thread..... Thanks
My understanding is, that battery calibrators delete battery stats files. This will happen anyway when you charge your phone. So there is no need to calibrate the battery, it does automatocally once you fully charge your phone.

Sony said" You can charge your phone when you want. You don't must wait until you see 15% and less" There's no.need to do battery calibration. Not with our battery because it's a new type. In older battery you must do it but not now.

You should learn something about Android before posting stupid posts... You can delete your battery stats and this won't be better battery life... NEVER.
Sent from my LT22i using xda-developers app
If you have battery problems, charge to 100%, drain it untill it shuts the phone down and then charge it to 100% turned off if possible. I do this whenever I change ROM.
it's not healthy to do this often! Once a month is okay.
clearing battery stats won't do much help
I have been having issues with my battery for a long time...at first I thought a virus might be draining all the battery...but when I scanned my files with a AV nothing was found...A few days later I noticed that my screen would blink with the LED and illumination bar every time a notification would display due to an app...so I simply uninstalled the app and voila back to normal.
