NO, you need the battery.
ok thanks I wasnt sure the revolution would turn on when no battery I almost thought with the charge i had to power it on without the battery to root it but its been a long time since I did my other one

Yeah, without the battery, if you hit the down button, it will put you in the "download" mode to Odin new Rom etc...
ok thanks now to see what the latest and greatest rom is haha
Eclipse or my favorite is tweakstock. ICS is creeping up to so watch for that.....
Charged up post!
I can vouch for the greatness of eclipse, just had an update today.

Moving to Q&A
Both Tweakstock and Eclipse are good, stable ROMs. I prefer Tweakstock, but thats just my opinion. My suggestion would be to flash them both and see which you like better. And flash PJB kernel, its the best one out there. I would flash the PJB Tweakstock combo that automatically changes ur partitions to ext4 which is faster.

Alright so the first day I got it (before I rooted it and flashed netarchy kernel) I got good battery life. Now that I'm rooted and have a custom kernel set a 1Ghz Max and 200Mhz Min my battery life blows. I got like 13 hours of battery life yesterday. Do you have to train the Nexus S battery? I was excited about switching to this phone from my EVO hoping for awesome battery life but so far I'm being let down...
I know what you mean Brutus. I haven't rooted yet but I am excited to do so. The battery life is ok for me comparing the rooted EVO to the stock Nexus. I just love how this phone sits in the hands and pockets. It's perfect. I miss the CM7 goodies though. 4G toggle (none on the market work for the NS4G), Torch, pull down widgets, gesture lock... and a few other things.
Hang in there bud. BTW, which rooting method did you use?
My battery was twice as good on day 7 as it was on day one.

Good to hear and hope it gets better! I used the rooting method on the first page of "Rooting a 4g" in the Question and Answer section. I also used the unlockr videos for setting up ADB and Fastboot since I didn't have to for my EVO.
Oh and is anybody having issues with charging the 4G? It takes like 5 hours to charge fully!
Does anyone
Does anyone have a link to the best rooting method im having all kinds of trouble
video link would do if available please

Its the wack AC adapter. When i had the T-mobile version with the AC adapter, it was painfully long to charge it. I have a i9020A now, and it comes with a dedicated chargers and it happens much faster. Also, after getting settled in with my 2.3.4 and not flashing every day, my battery life lasts the entire day for me easy. I can usually go from 5.30AM-9PM at work on shift where im bouncing from 3G-Edge alot and will get to about 20% at 9PM.
I9020A on 2.3.4 with stock kernel. Only mod is root access.

When I was on Froyo, I used Gummy first then tried out Humble. Humble gave me better battery life.
Now I'm on GummyCharged 1.5 Gingerbread and still getting good battery life. I think the main thing is to condition your battery. This starts with always flashing ODIN ROMs with a fully charged battery, this makes all the difference I believe.
I didn't see any reason to stay on Froyo, Kejar has done an amazing job with GummyCharged and fixed all the issues I was concerned with moving to GB.

Thx! u helped a lot
I've gotten best battery life on Eclipse v1.2. Altho I will say Humble was not to bad either but for whatever reason Eclipse gets better signal which makes a world of difference on battery life.
I've also tried the GB builds and IMO they are still not up to par. They are all based on leaked files that are nowhere near ready for release yet. And on that note there is newer builds then the one that is leaked even.
I loved Eclipse but my GPS wasn't getting a lock better than 10meters.
Humble 1.3 was absolutely garbage for me in terms of battery life, but the new version 1.33 is AMAZING
I charged my phone up last night and calibrated the battery, left it unplugged the entire night (i was sleeping) , 9 hours later i woke up and my battery only dropped 7 percent. I was at 93. Previously, i was losing 20 percent battery if i left my phone on overnight.

Questions or Problems should not be Posted in Android Development
Please Post in the Correct Forums
Moving to General
Well,I' ve seen many people ask this question, on random forums, so I'm just copy-pasting a post I made somewhere
else, and that's just about it.
Anyway, why do all of you prefer going after other apps that do all the work for you?. Anyway, seeing as none of them ended up working for you #evil laugh# , you could always do this.
TheWeirdOne's guide to battery calibration,
for dummies.
1) Get your battery charged (yes, that's a
hundred percent , to you)
2) Now, I'm assuming that all of you have a
version of CWM that replaced the crappy
stock recovery, so boot into recovery.
(Now, each phone has a different zip for flashing cwm, so I guess you'll have to hunt that out by yourself, anyway -__- Mine's
running on a version of five, but four
should work swell, too)
3) Now, go to Advanced, and then choose
'wipe battery stats.'
Ta-Da, and that's about it! . Oh, and
another thing. Once you Do that, DO NOT, I
repeat, do not charge your phone, just wait
for the battery to run out, and that's about
it.
Ps. My phone lasts for about one-and- a-
half to two days, right now, and that' s not
on standby, to those sarcastic ones out
there.
And here's the usual 'Oooh, if I actually
helped one of you guys out, please click
that big, 'thanks button, naw?'
Read this somewhere but thanks anyway
That simple
Anothe roveral guide also.
Please read an article I wrote about how to extend your battery life with other methods also.
Good luck!
I do it just the new school way

My device is Samsung SL i9003. I have tried to use the Battery Calibration from the Market, but it says that I have to root it first. My phone is not rooted and I am using official ROM.
ANy idea how to calibrate a phone that is unrooted?

I don't think there is any way to do that. Btw, going by your join date, it's assumable that your phone is more than a year old. So, why don't you root your phone.
Trust me... The juice is worth the squeeze. I myself own a GT-i9003. And I rooted it 3 months after buying it. :-D
Thanks for the quick guide...I've seen this before but I've been too lazy to do it. But actually it's rather simple
So easy nice method! Im gonna check it out!

I charged my phone after wiping battery stats some times ago, and it went weird, battery drops at a certain percent while I was using it
all battery stats are for is to collect and analyze battery usage per app basic on your Android devices. wiping stats does nothing to improve battery life or charge capacity at all.
few things.
1. when charging the phone does it need to be off?
2. wiping the battery status increase battery life or just the status? just trying to clear up my questions.
thanks in advance.

1.It doesn't matter whether the phone is turned on or not when charging (For me..)
2.Wiping battery stats does not increase battery life. It just resets the battery status and that's all.

i have a quick kernel question, i have cm9 rom installed and i did some searching and found that changing the kernel could help with battery drain, so im needing 2 know if this actualy helps. with cm9s kernel my phone only lasted abt 6hrs from doing nothing but txting (i have no apps on my phone except batteryxl/2xbattery. im not using the pro ver as i do not buy apps, so my wifi is constantly turned on even after i shut it off manualy and turn data on), i flashed the team faq kernel and still see abt the same, if changing the kernel does help with battery life, what kernel would be the best 2 use? and if possible could you link me to it. i have searched the sgs4g section for kernels but havnt found many in the development forums.
(if a question like mine was asked/answered b4 i am sry 4 reposting, as i am still trying to figure the best setup 4 my phone that will last atleast a full day or longer from just txting)

Atm there aren't any ICS kernels besides those two. You can try to under clock to 600 or 800 MHz to get a little more screen on time. Its either that or go to a GB rom with known good battery life
First off, have you read some of the other threads on battery life and ICS?
Second, what do those battery apps actually do? They may be doing more harm than good. BetterBatteryStats will provide insight into why your phone might be draining so quickly.
Third, turn off the WiFi! Not clear why you have it on if you're only texting.
Sounds to me that if it isn't one of those, it's new-shiny-toy syndrome, or cruft from flashing (if you believe in gremlins)

I try everything, unplugged, pluged, with or without battery... but norhing, it smells a litle like burned and it was a little hot but it gets warmer when i use it to play heavy 3d games....
One of the times it start normally but the battery shows 0 and charging, i restart to CMW and wipe cache, and wipe dalvik and try to start again but it turned off while booting and since that it wont do nothing, even pressing vol+ and vol- while connecting to pc do nothing to try to NvFlash...
when i left it connected it gets a little warm and the battery charges, the battery its fully charged but it wont to turn up...
(Send this rare phone to a tecnic service here in venezuela is like send a litle blond child to a pedofile... they will destroy the phone....)
I was using CM7 last Nightly.

Also i wiped dalvik and cache, try to re-start it but it does not... and my pc don't recognite it even to nvflash it... i don't know what is going on, please a don't want to use my old blackberry torch again
If you can, put it back to stock Gingerbread, kernel and ROM. Then see if it improves.
I will try that, now i charging it and when i press the power button its shows the battery charging up, i will contain my self, get some patience, find whathever thing to do while it charges alone...
lets se if its works now..
With stock 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 it only gets 4-5Hours of battery, with EaglesBlood ICS and other ICS/JB roms too... the best battery results and temperture that i have is with CM7 2.3.7 and Stock kernel...
Ready, my cellphone is fully charged and working well. This confimrs all... LG PHONES ARE IMPOSIBLE TO BRICK!
THANKS YOU ALL!

The best kernel and ROM are those that work without screwing up the phone and enable you to do whatever you need to. Get at least one more battery and an external charger from a vendor on Amazon or eBay who has excellent feedback. I bought a few, including the fat high capacity ones with the additional back that accommodates the larger battery.

I don't use my phone's HDMI, I only test it to determine that it works when I install kernels and ROMs. There won't be any hardware video acceleration with anything that's ICS based because the NVIDIA hardware video acceleration drivers aren't available, yet. Try a Gingerbread based ROM and compatible kernel. Ask someone who's a gamer.
Thanks you for your answer!...
I'm still using CM7 last nightly and Stock kernel...
