HI guy! after downloading several times, making sure all my drivers were installed, and trying to figure this out myself Im stuck. I keep getting the same error. "'choice' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

im still running windows xp sp3
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Advertising running an unsupported OS on a tech savvy site like this one is perhaps the funniest thing I've seen or heard all day. :laugh:

MultiFlasher requires Windows Vista or later to run, as Windows XP doesn't recognize the choice command. So the solution here is to upgrade your operating system.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bear3825:
Well I am happy to have amused you today. My windows 7 rig is down due to dead power supply out on rma. everything else I own is a slab running Android or Win8.1 rt. Im reduced to attempting this on an old ASUS EeePC 900 that I dual boot with Android.

but thanks for clearing that up for me with such a quick and kind remark.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tfn:
Hi Guys Just a note If you have Problems with the Hero Screens

After Almost a Year of Using and flashing my Hero, My screen started Jumping and the bottom right keys were impossible to type and I almost gave up hope for my Hero.

Resetting the device and going back to the original Htc rom would solve the problem for a while but I still got it back after a few days

So this is what I did......

Unrooted phone to Original stock Rom and took to my tmobile retailer Uk ( mine is locked to Tmobile Uk) and asked them to send it in for repairs, but the guy didnt really seem intrested to send it as it was over a year and might be out of warranty.

But his supervisor advised him to send it for repairs and did tell me they might charge me for the repairs ( they would let me know before they repair it) even though I had still another 4 months to go in contract, so I took the chance and sent it.

Within a week phone was back with a brand new screen and updated software and I believe they changed the lens as well and no charges :D

So 5 stars to Tmobile UK for getting my phone back to life and a brilliant after service and I dont even feeli like rooting it anymore at the moment

So do get in touch with your Provider for a repair you never know as I have seen that a lot of hero do have a screen problem

Best of Luck to your guys....
[Desire HD General] mcnob:
A friend at work who also has a Desire HD told me that he got a free, higher capacity battery from HTC as some sort of replacement programme they're doing.

Has anyone else heard about this and know how you go about getting it?

Ta.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Could you ask him how big the battery is? He only needs to check the mAh value that is written on the battery itself.
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
I haven't heard anything about this. I would be interested in this higher capacity battery but it sounds like b#@ll@%&cks to me.
[Desire HD General] teeedubb:
Too good to be true...
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
I really think the best they can do is give you another battery with the same capacity to compensate the weak stock battery we have, and weaker after a year of use. No way they will design a new battery for a almost outdate phone.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Why are they releasing software updates then, if the phone is outdated? Come on mate, DHD is still the flagship, and will remain in the high end category for a long long time.
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
True that :)

Could you ask your friend how did he go about getting the battery
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
when I say outdated, i mean from a product cycle point of view, with new model coming out every 2 years, of course with dhd's hardware, it will last for a few more years, thats one of the reason I bought a dhd as well. I just think it wouldn't make sense that a company will design a new component for a product that has been released for some time.

but perhaps I am wrong, if this new battery will be used in future/upcoming phones as well, that could be a possibility.

from a consumer point of view, I would certainly hope this is a reality as well since I live in UK as well :D
[Desire HD General] mcnob:
Yeh, I can see that I'm gonna have to quiz him further on this. I think he said he got a 1800mah replacement. I tried emailing HTC customer support but just got a 403 error when I tried to send the message.....hmmm

Will get back once I've spoken to him but it seems a bit random for it to be bo77ox.

To be continued..........
[Desire HD General] robE9:
I would be happy even with 1400/1500 but 1800 seems just impossible :P anyway hope you are true about that upgrade battery :D
[Desire HD General] alexluckett:
Battery isn't really an issue for me... but I'll be happy if this is true - although I doubt it.
[Desire HD General] panyan:
if this is true - i;d be extatic :D
[Desire HD General] MrYuiM:
I just sent HTC an email asking whether it is true or not. As soon as they reply I'll quote the message, but mann 1800Mh I could do with that!
[Desire HD General] Pitchb3nd:
Come on, 1800?

That's just impossible given the unibody construction of the phone. No way such a huge battery will fit.
[Desire HD General] iphonoid:
I call bull, they're very unlikely too release a new component unless theres a huge uproar (que a certain apple product..) because it's massively expensive for the company to do so..
[Desire HD General] Scottymeuk:
I hope this is true, but I very much doubt it. They would have done this straight away if it was such a big deal.
[Desire HD General] festa20:
i very much doubt that we would get a new battery we need it of course but i cant see it my self to be honest

i hope to god we get one though keep us updated
[Desire HD General] imptb:
Are you sure that its the desire HD and not just desire battery:confused: cuz thats the only thing that would make sense unless they developed new battery tech in the last few months
[Desire HD General] mesut19:
1800 Mah battery holy crap. We could supply energy for a city of Desire HD's of that.
[Desire HD General] ZedeN:
just emailed htc, will write their reply here as soon as they answer tomorrow
[Desire HD General] MiniDolan:
:D

That's what I thought :P

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/mugen-htc-desire-hd-battery-extended-battery-1800mah-p26775.htm

Any improved battery would be awesome really.

not getting my hopes up though

:D
[Desire HD General] PartTimeLegend:
I can't see a battery recall on this scale happening. It's just not cost effective.

The battery life of the DHD isn't brilliant, but hardly a complaint.

The only time a recall would happen, is if there was a fault with the battery that could cause damage. Such as when Nokia recalled their batteries a few years ago because they started to expload.
[Desire HD General] lawe:
Never heard of any recall in the UK.
[Desire HD General] ZedeN:
Donno about you, but my battery does not last me a day, max 9 hours with 3 hours of screen time (browsing the web). For me that's pathetic.
[Desire HD General] Scottymeuk:
With the new fix from the Development forum on here, my Desire HD has been on from around 7.30am this morning, with quite a lot of use and now at 12.38pm it is at 46% battery. It's quite a good battery, HTC/Google just need to work out software bugs to get the best out of it :P
[Desire HD General] festa20:
So nobody got a reply from them then about the battery
[Desire HD General] kuceens007:
That is rumor...
[Desire HD General] joshoon:
If this is true, I would be even more excited about HTC than I'm already am :D
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
Smells like B/S to me :p

I'm more than happy with my battery anyway. Easy get a full day heavy use or 2-3 days of minimal use, all without disabling any "smartphone" features.
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
Of course it's BS. There is no chance of HTC providing a better battery for this device. Their R & D people moved on from the HD the second it was sent to the shops. I would be satisfied if their software "updates" didn't actually retard the phone (1.72).
[Desire HD General] paul c:
What a thread! 3 pages on a bit of hearsay, no comments backed up, no official message from HTC.

rofl
[Desire HD General] festa20:
Exactly load of BS rumors I haven't heard from any source that there's a new battery
[Desire HD General] no1male:
My best friends aunties nieces cleaners uncles drinking mate, told my nan that he heard that HTC are going to upgrade the DHD screen to super Amoled for freeeeeeee :)

Would be great, but HTC are not going to dish out new batteries for everyone
[Desire HD General] ZedeN:
No reply from HTC as of yet, and tbh I too highly HIGHLY doubt that its true
[Desire HD General] JLneonhug:
Try using Leedroid, ;) I used to get pretty much that with ARHD but switched over recently. Now getting little over 24 hours with normal usage - 30min-1hr games, some surfing, few phone calls 30 mins, few texts, lots of emailing.
[Desire HD General] MrYuiM:
Just got a reply and here it is:

AND I call bull**** on HTC doing free screen upgrades, I'm sorry but if they're not doing battery upgrades then screen upgrades will cost them a bomb and a half.
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
Please close this thread, there is no any free upgrade battery from HTC, many thanks..
[Desire HD General] 02ferreiravilarl:
i think this is bull i mean they giving thunderbolt customers extended battery but not for us who need it the most

go to engadget . com if you dnt belive me.

www . engadget . com/2011/03/21/verizon-and-htc-offer-thunderbolt-extended-battery-give-your-ph/
[Desire HD General] panyan:
yes, i read this too, which gives this thread a hope for the future :D
[Desire HD General] MrYuiM:
I'm sorry but that thing is the fugliest thing out and frankly I have no complaints about the battery, its fine on my side, I'm getting more use in a day than my parent's desires which have a larger battery. And tbh no one would buy that extension, its fugly, costly and hard to grip. If HTC are looking into the DHD battery problems then kudos to them for actually acknowledging the problem and speedy responses. You lost should be thankful we're getting gingerbread soon and not only gotten froyo a few months ago (akin sammy)...
[Desire HD General] jamiee6610:
I think your find its a like for like, they offered to replace my battery with another but it was no upgrade.
[Desire HD General] allajunaki:
So in short, thanks for playing. Move along.

The best deal you can get is to buy a bigger better desire HD2 or Pyramid or whatever they call it.

Ofcourse with that you get free Screen Upgrade, processor upgrade, battery upgrade.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
Me too....but seems we both are running custom roms with custom kernels and I am guessing you are running the smartass governor as well ;)

Not sure how long stock rom & kernel will get you on 1 charge.

For a smartphone with the size and power of the DHD, over 1 day is quite decent I'd guess.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
I'm on stock and I can use my DHD for 1 and a half days :) pretty much decent in my opinion.
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
I've never got on well with Smartass as I don't think it handles screen-off well enough. Instead I use On-Demand with a screen-off profile of 245min / 499max.
[Desire HD General] Wickedd:
Still, i think the battery life of my desire hd is a shame.. after 6/7 hours im out of power..

at least 15% left..
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
Using it all day with 100% screen brightness?

My phone has been unplugged for over 7hrs and I have 88% left, and that's only because I was listening to about 2hrs of music earlier. Before that I was 38hrs between charges, albeit with less than normal use.
[Desire HD General] Wickedd:
Actually, no. I use auto screen-brightness and only listen a small 2/3 hours music and use 4sq / twitter... I just visited a couple of web pages and used half of the time 2G.
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
Ok, seems like something is way wrong but all I can suggest in that case is read some of the battery threads. Lots of great tips and tweaks for extending battery. Just use the search button or flick through a few pages of DHD General and DHD Q&A ;)
[Desire HD General] Wickedd:
Okay :) Thanks, i will check some threads
[Desire HD General] allajunaki:
Just wondering isn't four square a significant drain on battery?
[Desire HD General] MiniDolan:
Dear Andrew Dolan,

good morning, unfortunately we currently do not produce any upgraded batteries, although HTC are looking into this to produce higher grade batteries. HTC are glad to hear you are pleased with your device, as much as software is developed and advanced the more battery life it uses, and the battery technology hasnt been advanced. as your phone is quite new the battery does take some breaking in, much like a car battery that has been left unused for a long time ie in the box, then it will take a while before it performs to optimum potential, so to advise you to keep using the phone letting it run flat then recharging it , aswell as lowering the screen brightness.

thankyou for contactign HTC support.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 11GBCW13ENA000307.

Sincerely,

Warren

HTC

Hmmm, well at least they're looking into producing higher grade batteries .
[Desire HD General] shamps:
I am on stock rom and previously had issues with the battery. I deeted my sense account and stopped using friendstream. I use the facebook for android. Now the battery lasts me more than a day with plenty of calls, games, email and websurfing.

Just my 2 cents, might be helpful for people who are not getting enough out of their battery.
[Desire HD General] dreamwearl:
I can confirm that using sens & friendstream is a drain on your battery.

Now I almost make it around the day ;-) (use it to much on the train... )
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
I do use smartass, but with screenoff profile of 245mhz.

You need to accept that you'll have some lag in that case when turning on the screen again.

p.s. am using low brightness settings as well
[Desire HD General] Bomster:
Make it around a day on CM7.
[Desire HD General] mcnob:
Holy crap, i forgot all about this thread and went and got an Optimus 2X.....oops.

I eventually caught up with the guy a while ago and it seems that when you originally register certain serial numbered handsets, you are automatically told that it qualifies for a 'minor' battery upgrade. Now, I've no idea why it's limited to certain serial no.s but apparently that is the case. Once again though, it's only a minor upgrade in battery size anyway but maybe someone else knows by now what this is about?
[Desire HD General] raze599:
I think this guy is bulls%17ing you. Its just not good business sense to choose a selected number of handsets that qualify for a free upgrade. But of course that would make sense if HTC announced it as the biggest thing in the world as it would increase sales, but they didnt so I dont think any of it is true.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
I would've thought, if there's any truth in it at all, that what your seeing is HTC quietly replacing a batch of substandard batteries. This would certainly explain only certain S/N qualifying for the 'upgrade'.
[Desire HD General] houston_:
There are batteries around that have 1800mah...

Someone tested them on a german forum, they last as long as the original.

He havent used the phone but real measurement instruments.

He seemed to know what he doing, also because he had these instruments.

But the tested battery was a cheap china model. 1800mah and half the price of the original.

both were equal for the time of testing. If the cheap had a quality loose later i dont know.

I read a article on spiegel.de (trustful magazine) that there is a new improvement that had be done. some nanowires in the battery itself helps a loger life and a faster reload (10-30 min) ... but the first prototyp for mobile devices is awaited in a long time, 2-3 years...
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
So if I understand you correctly they tested a 1800mAh battery and it lasted as long as the original 1230mAh battery, to my mind that suggests it's not giving 1800mAh because it should last nearly 50% longer.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
You know that you can write whatever you want on a battery but it won't make it last any longer, right? I would never buy a same size, higher capacity battery because it's just not possible to have one and it means that it's fake. And a fake battery can have devastating effects in a closed small space like our battery compartment. I don't have the time to go through the entire thread and someone might have warned you already but there were reports of batteries heating up and expanding thus applying pressure on the screen (because of the metal body). Bottom line is be very careful when buying a replacement battery.

As for the thread subject I don't believe that this is true. At most it's some kind of offer by the online store and not HTC. They figured out they can attract customers by giving away a cheap Chinese crappy battery and did it. Maybe even written whit a small print that using this battery voided the warranty.
[Desire HD General] jgibbons1:
I have been looking at a higher capacity battery for a while now. Has anyone used any third party batteries that they know are good? I don't mind paying even if it gives me a couple of extra hours a day.
[Desire HD General] MrPloppy:
I think the general concensus is that you *could* get a higher capacity battery, which *may* last longer for a bit, but that they might start swelling or leaking inside your precious DHD and as they are not proper HTC branded batteries, it would void your warranty.

Better off trying different methods to conserve battery power, like upgrading to Gingerbread (which apparently improves battery performance), or using something like "Green Power", which switches things off when you don't use them.
[Desire HD General] ascottuk:
completely agree with you regarding third party batterys, i bought my DHD on ebay, it came with an "extended" 1600mah battery and the original, the guy sent it with the third party battery inside, i now know why, it has swelled so much it has jammed inside the phone, it took me over an hour, alot of patience, and me braking my missus £13 tweezers (they where just thin enough to get leverage on it without damaging anything) to get it out!

its literally ballooned in the middle!
[Desire HD General] skyband123:
Try using Leedroid, i get around a full day on a single charge with normal use.

Screen brightness about 75%, some gaming, about 2 hours of browsing on wifi, few calls, fair number of texts.

I've not had a problem with it so far.
[Desire HD General] XeLaNoiD:
I just upgraded to a Near Stock Gingerbread ROM just because of the batteries issue from a stock 2.2.1 ROM.

For about the same use that lasted 12-15 hours before, it's now near the 20-25 hours :)

Thanks for the heads-up. I was thinking of getting one of the 1600mah.

Not now, though.
[Desire HD General] Meatboy42:
I hate to do this but... I'm using a 1550mAh battery I got off DealExtreme, and it's been perfectly fine. Fits, looks a little worn, but it's done the job so far and I've had it for 4 months now.

That said, I don't think it's actually 1550, it's pretty much the same as the original one. I keep the original in my wallet to swap out if the current one dies while I'm out.
[Desire HD General] lisajacobs:
Why would HTC provide new batteries for free. There is nothing in it for them. Maybe for money, that i could imagine.

If it is true though, ill be jumping high in the sky cuz less then a day battery really sucks to be honest :S.
[Desire HD General] Buddhainuk:
I'm running gingerbread at the moment and.running greenpower app the way I have it set up I'm getting nearly 2 days out of a nights full charge. B-)
[Desire HD General] micflair:
Cheers for the heads up mate, gonna check that app now :) My Battery is crap.
[Desire HD General] Andyag:
Can deffinitely recommend JuiceDefender Ultimate. My battery life went from one to two days. And after I rooted and flashed ARHD it can last around three days with moderate use. :)
[Desire HD General] Aidanio:
Even if HTC just offered a spare that would make up for how quick the battery is used up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] faceved2:
just a FYI the SGS tools app which allows you to replace your tw launcher, email, contacts, and gallery app works for our sgs 4G. i have tried em all (upgrade stock apps) and can confirm they are all working. If you want to go back the scripts dont work, but you just need to move the stock apk back from sd>sgstools>xxx.apk into system>app> using root explorer or similar... and it will revert. also the boot up/down sounds can be disabled through the app
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
If I had to guess the email app on there that is made for the tab will get really buggy when used with exchange. Crazy thing is, it takes a few days to show up. You may have better luck on this device. But my vibrant didn't like it..

Lastly, make back ups of the apps your gonna try and switch using this app. Easiest way titanium backup. That way you get your app back that's optimized for 2.2.1.

Might not make a difference. But never hurts to put a back up on your external
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] faceved2:
SGS TOOLS

what cool about the app is it makes the back up of your apps on the sd card :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] faceved2:
also...

the TW home replacement works as well...:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Yeah the tab email app is no good..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] faceved2:
yeah i dont use the email app :) but i do use the gallery and the tw home replacemnet...works like a charm..and the boot sounnds :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Is the gallery fix relevant to the 4g?

My problemw with titianium backup is that it dosn't actually backup the system apps, just it's data :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
I just tried to use my FFC after the camera hack & it does not work anymore, it says camera failed. I tried to restore from Titanium and copied the .apk from the sgstool back up with no luck.

Anyone else having the same issue? I just flashed the Krylon's stock + root rom and did a factory reset but the issue is still there. Do you think I can pull the files from a system dump to remedy?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Try flashing the deodexed version 1.9.. when Odin reboots you into factory recovery do the factory reset. And then reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
no joy, Im going to try and restore files from a system dump. :mad:

If you need the files let me know and I'll upload them for you.

Thanks Aloneinshadow, but I had the dump from a previous post. I pushed datapattern_420sp.yuv & datapattern_front_420sp.yuv to /system/cameradata along with restoring camera.apk & camerafirmware.apk to /system/app and rebooted with no luck. BUT when I ran Tango and used the FFC it worked and fixed my issue. I do not know why but its fixed now. Im never going to use SGSTools again unless its made for KB5.

Ok thank God I was able to revert my camera back, the hacked camera didn't allow me to record videos. Quick question, why is it that our phones don't have autofocus for video recording but all over YouTube there are vibrants that have it?

We do. Should be both with stock set up. Mine has both.
