Battery calibration - Motorola Droid X2

I found out if you run your x2 down to around five percent battery and then charge it overnight with your comcast cable box, it charges it slower so it keeps the charge longer. I guarantee you will get good results with this. Also, first post

Lol.. I have direct t.v.! Same with Xbox360 or p.c... it just seems that way bcuz its takes forever to charge

You do not have proof, upload a couple of screen shots of your actual battery usage.

I don't know why this isn't a bigger issue, or at least something that's questioned and crabbed about more often. I just rebooted at 50% battery, came back up on the other side of that reboot at 79%. Seriously? That seems like a huge jump and a much bigger issue than a few jabs and laughs. Am I missing something?
Saw somewhere that the problem surfaced at 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 had it right. I think there's a file 2.3.4 can't write to correctly or something.

Actually its an issue that surfaced in 2.3.4. Everyone is aware of this but as long as you charge your phone like normal you should not notice a difference in usage. Im a vzw tech by the way

If u hadn't noticed anyone crabbing and *****ing or mentioning that battery bug then u didn't look anywhere....there are a couple threads regarding it...and with EVERY release of EVERY rom it gets brought up again wit everyone asking if its been fixed....
It's a bug that has been introduced via 2.3.4 update. ..really nothing we can do about it...people have tried but tries have been unsuccessful ...we gonna have to wait for moto to fix it...

It does seem to help a little, but it does not resolve the problem. Very next time you reboot, the reading could jump up 10-30 points. This has been a "big deal" on the forum - been discussed ad nauseam in several different threads. Seems to effect several different phone models. I think most folks have just accepted the fact that there's not much can be done about it until the kernel is fixed. Ironically, while the battery level anomaly happened with the upgrade to 2.3.4, the same upgrade has resulted in much better overall battery life. That's a trade-off I can live with.

Yeah, especially coming from the Guy who created this. I'm not the smartest at technology, but I'm pretty sure charging your battery to the max will drain just as fast no matter how slowly you charge it.

No.. Trust me the voltage from that box is low so it charges slower... That has zero to do with how long it will hold a charge.

As a break from the flaming, if you're serious about learning to develop, go to the main XDA development thread and start grabbing the tools. The Kitchen is a must have, apktool, manager, dex2jar, smali/baksmali. Grab a base Rom and start playing with that. Ports are far more involved, so cut your teeth on the basics first.
Good luck.

I guess that depends on your definition of port. I'm relatively certain that less than 10% of the system partition in Bamf is thunderbolt. Sounds like a pretty complete "port" to me.

The combo I have now is both so despite a locked boot im a happy x2 owner.

I have been waiting for 2.10 to drop.
I was also thinking of donating and getting the RC others have gotten. but I need to wait til friday to donate ;( I think the final might be out by then anyways but im still gonna donate
2.0 fixed y? It wouldn't flash so I just did it by hand. Everything installed in seems to be working. Even the power boost mod check that it was working. I would definitely upgrade when it comes out but this 1 seems to be working fine. Internet seems a lot more responsive.

Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same problems with the Skinny ROM so I know it must be a hardware issue. I guess I'll be heading into Sprint for my 3rd replacement Photon.
I actually live in the tropics of Florida!
thats not fun. well good luck and i hope your next phone is the winner. 3rd time is the charm right?
I actually am on my 3rd one also. took first one back bc it had some mms issue. second one I was right there in the store and noticed that they were trying to give me a new that already had a scratch. good thing i noticed it right there at the desk. so she pulled out a third one and that is the one i use today.
wear your lucky socks when you go to the sprint store! ha ha

I'm traveling this week, so maybe I can get a replacement from a different part of the country. Maybe that will make the difference. My deepest desire is to join the "My Photon is PERFECT" club!

I wonder what is causing this strange behavior, regardless if it is due to a hardware or software problem.

Quadrant, or any benchmark, CAN mean something if you're constantly hacking your phone and want to see the effects. Comparing it to someone else's is tricky because no test can represent how you use the phone in actual situations.
You can turn off journaling on partitions and get an immediate jump. You can update the video driver, force hardware renering. Heck, you can even create a ramdisk and simlink all your files, too.
To me, everything is a trade-off. You gain performance by reducing security, battery life, memory/storage space, or whatever your mod does to it.
But I admit it's fun!!
Has anyone benchmarked read/write speed of the data partition yet? I want to compare it to my class 10 sd card to see if it's worthwhile to move some files around or not.
Oh, by the way, if you want to brag about high scores, you should use the older version (I think it was 1.x) of Quadrant as it reported higher scores. Time to dig out the backups!

What are everyone's thoughts on Vellamo? Kind of prefer that one myself. I aggree that most benchmarks can be inaccurate... But they're cinsistant enough that they're still effective for testing one phone to the other, or one Rom to the other in my experience.

Hi all.
My wife's phone recently played out for the third time within a year (D2). When they replaced it this time they sent her a completely different phone.
Well she liked my DX2 better so I got the other (sam strat) phone. I had planned on moving to another phone in the not so distant future but looks like I got moved sooner then I thought. (Still gonna get a different phone in the near future)
The DX2 community on here is incredible, and I am sure that goes without saying and everyone of you guys and gals know that! I will miss my phone and the community but it's time to move on I suppose. I wish you all the best, I am sure I will stop in from time to time to check up on things.
DK, your an awesome Dev. and I think more so then that you seem to be a super guy from what one can get to know someone else through communicating over the internet / forums. Thanks man for all your time and effort!
GL all.
Don't be a stranger and be sure to stop in from time to time. When I got my Gnex, the thought crossed my mind that I may not frequent the DX2 community as much. But I just can't let it go. Other areas here on XDA just don't offer what is abundant here. By far the best on the web, hands down.
Best of luck in your future endeavors...neighbor!

It's definitly a lot easier rooting the x2, but oh well. Still stuck with 2 or 3 roms too which are all tweaked versions of stock because the radio interface layer is locked by samsung. They say we're supposed to get ICS(only reps, no official updates), but won't give out any dates or anything. Oh well.
