So i just got a Samsung i780 and after charging the first battery i put it in and started up the phone.
However i was stunned to find that the standby time was less than 7 hrs!!
Samsung says 400hrs standby, but now ive tried both the batteries that came with the phone and i did an xperiment, by charging the battery to a 100% before i went to bed and then leave the phone in standby.
When i woke up next morning the phone had shut off and couldnt be turned back until i either connected the ext power or replaced the battery.
This goes for both the batteries and the phone is like 2 days old, and no i didnt charge the batteries half way at any point, they were at less than 30% when i recharged them and charged to 100% before i started to use them. :-(
Also i made sure the WiFi wasnt on and i set every powersaving feature to save as much power as possible by lowering the display light to the lowest setting and have it shut off the display after the shortest period of time if the device is not in use etc etc etc...
My old HP Ipaq 6515 with WM 2003 never did anything like this and that one still has a standby time of approx 90hrs, but also the powersaving features in the old WM03 is more simple and apparently works better.
Also, when i start up the Samsung after replacing the battery, i cant change the ldc brightness, nothing happens when i choose another setting, the screen stays at the lowest setting of brightness, until i reset the phone, then it works properly.
My god i thought my old Ipaq was flawed and annoying with its way of suddenly turning itself off now and then due to the batt cover being crap, but this is almost worse!
So plz anyone who has any idea/suggestions, lemme know as this is really getting to me! :-D
Thx in advance!!
Maybe a rom upgrade will solve your problems

Well it maybe will, but where will i get that?
I go to Samsung and under products i choose my phone model, then i go to "Support and downloads" and theres only a bunch of manuals in pdf and then activesync 4.5 available. :-(
Also i just noticed under the power adjustment theres an option that will shut off the display during a call 5 secs after the call has begun.
However bneneath it it says, that the phone wont shut the disp off unless the phone is in "inactive mode" whatever that means, i havent come accross anything anywhere with a possibility to enable "inactive mode"

Inactive mode i think is the one when you press the power button to shout down the display.
You can find a lot of infos about roms searching "i780" on this forum.

Thx mate, in that case thats not a problem, i mean the "inactive mode" i always use that, a habit from my old Ipaq which didnt run for too long with the display on. :lol:
I found a rom upgrade to version 6.1, however i could only find it in english, but thatll have to do for now, because whats the "correct" language worth if the device cant stay turned on for more than 4 hrs? ;-)
Geeez this is freaking me out now, i try to do the upg to 6.1 and the upgrader needs to verify the deviee, so it verifies it and alerts me about it and say "Press ok to reset the device", the phone restrts and meanwhilke the upgrader throws this in my face: "Time-out. Unable to access device. Try again".
So i tried again and the same thing happend. Pfffft.... Boohoo!! :lol:
Have you installed the drivers, activesync etc.? Is your battery fully charged?
What drivers? afaik the ain no drivers, but yes i have the Mobile Device center installed and that works perfectly.
As started earlier:

Recently updated to this build. So far having to Major issues. 1 I keep getting boxes flash up on the screen( from the first 30 seconds of power up after update) seem to be notifications " amazon shopping has stopped" and other apps. Issue 2. This is my worst. The low battery notification SOUND has changed to my text alert tone, So far I have found NO way to change this. Anyone outthere thats had these issues or anyone that can help???? Yes I have tried pc companion.
Also looking for a way to change the low battery percentage notification. Its goes at 30%, 20%, 15%, 10% then 5%. I would prefer if it only went on at 15% or below.

I have an LeTV Max (x900), which is a Chinese made android phone. Quite high spec for its time. Anyway, it was flashed with an italian rooted ROM, can't remember exactly now as near 2 years ago.
Current problem is that: phone does not detect any wifi. When pressing "scan". nothing happens, not even any error message. Also, using the phone as a mobile hotspot no longer works.
Circumstances leading up to problem: the phone experienced excessive battery drain, it was quite warm and charging took nearly 10x as long. Eventually, the phone crashed entirely, and the little penguin logo came up on screen frozen. Had to hold power button for 20 secs to turn off. I thought it was battery suddenly dying (as had some trouble charging when low battery), but battery now suddenly seems fine again.
What have I tried: random wifi apps on play store, deleting / restoring hosts file (don't know if that makes difference).
Is this likely to be a software or hardware problem? A full reset is obviously the last option which I don't want to do unless I'm sure it's not hardware. Any definitive way to make sure? Thanks
I've googled so I know it doesn't exist for some strange reason. It's the most basic function but OnePlus totally forgot about it and keeps forgetting as people complain. Is there a 3rd party app or a way to put it in? I imagine if we install another ROM but I don't want to have to root it just for that.
There is a very good Battery Notifier BT [2000].
I downloaded it. It still says 46% when my phone was say 41%. When I rebooted it didn't seem to start up. I'll see if it warns me at 10%. Maybe it only runs once in a while so it doesn't use too much battery.
I let phone goto 9% with warning set at 10% and nothing. It still says 40% at the top of the screen. Maybe there is some active setting I need to turn on.

I am using Battery Notifier Pro BT <And9 in Android 10 stock ROM on Samsung Galaxy and it works fine also after reboot.
If you have installed Battery Notifier BT 2020, I can't help because I don't use it.
You may have some battery optimization turned on, which is making apps difficult to access your battery stats.
