[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabunimwil:
I've googled it and searched both here and android central but can't find the answer to my problem. I have a rooted Ego 4g running AHA-froyo 2.3. I am trying to update it to Ava-froyoZ3. Whener I run recovery then nandroid of course then install zip from sd card (I previously downloaded Ava-froyo and put it in the root of the sd card) I get,

-- Installing: SDCARD:AHA-FroyoZ3.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

E:Syntax error in update script

Installation aborted.

I have rom manager and can never get it to work so I just do it through recovery.

Any clues as to what the problem is? I have down loaded the file from several different locations to see if maybe I had a bad copy but it always does the same thing.

Additional info. I have the latest radio and pri and a stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheesyNutz:
use the other recovery !

and this should be in the Q and A forum
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabunimwil:
Sorry about the location. It should be in q and a. My mistake.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheesyNutz:
happen's did you get the rom flashed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabunimwil:
Trying again as I type.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabunimwil:
It worked.:cool: Thanks for the heads up on the other recovery. Used AmonRa v2.2.2

Any thoughts as to why Rom Manager doesn't work for me? It won't boot me into recovery and doesn't seem to do anything when I tell it to back up my rom.

I also get an error when I try to Fix Permissions. "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlin:
From my experience, ROM manager will not back up a ROM unless I have already booted into recovery at least once before. Is this what you are experiencing?

Also, I have had some funky issues with RM lately where it says its flashed a recovery but it actually didn't.

Not sure about the Fix permissions issue, but you can do that from recovery if RM wont work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkside748:
Hi there,

I actually want to know if it is harmfull to OC your SGS to 1.2GHz. Ofc it's better to run stock but is it of any real harm and how do you OC? I had a quick test with Galaxy Tuner and I must say when I use my phone heavily 1.2GHz is better. So if this is safe and done easily I would like to do this :D. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deliriousDroid:
Well that seems like a small overclock, so if you have setcpu to your minimum with screen off, it should be OK.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkside748:
Alright and how long can i use my phone when its on 1.2? Also next to that my phone is in a leather case when not being used so cooling will be a bit harder. Some more information from other people plz? I just want a consensus :). Thanks for the quick reply.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] minjiet:
my SGS motherboard burnt due to OC....

1 day while i was playing dungeon defenders with OC to 1200, with charger ON. suddenly the phone off it by itsself..

sent to service center, they said motherboard burnt!!!!

lucky they replace the board for me which still under warranty.

so high chance i think is the OC that cause overheat n burnt it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhoenixFx:
No one can say for sure what would happen when you push a chip beyond its design parameters. Not all chips are made equal. Usually the standard speed rating is what all chips passing QC should be able to operate at. However some chips may be able to operate at higher speeds without ill effects while others may fail catastrophically even with a slight increase in frequency. So its anyones guess...

Frankly I dont see the need to overclock right now. What ROM are you using ? Flashing to a newer / better ROM can give you a bigger improvement than what 200Mhz can give you on a laggy unoptimized ROM, so why risk it ?? .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deliriousDroid:
The fact you where charging, and playing a game probably had more to do with it than your overclocking.

Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
+1, charging and gaming at the same time is never a good I idea. They both heat up the phone greatly
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkside748:
Hmm I'm running docs mod v9.9.5 XD with speedmod kernel and twlweaks enabled. So it pretty fast already however with the oc there is just less loading time. But you are saying that its useless?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lamacow123:
If you can oc, that means you root right! either that or droidclock/setcpu correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lamacow123:
it depends. i personally use tegrak overclock and for battery saving, i use overclockwidget. my sgs has been going for 2 days in a row with battery life only at 48% even with moderate usage(making smses, playuing games occasionally, etc.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkside748:
Hmm alright, these apps seems legit. What are your settings with these apps? Or should I use setcpu?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
If the phone reaches a certain temperature, the phone stops charging, so i dont think playing a game and charging at same time is the culprit.

Granted that the phone would heat up A LOT quicker than usual, but being so hot, the phone wouldnt of been charging even with the charger connected.

there is now way of knowing whether overclocking is dangerous. Personally i think it is, you have to modify the kernel, modify system settings, modify battery voltage.

None of this is recommended, but we do it at our own risk...

Its as dangerous as running a custom ROM or LagFix. some devices are fine, some brick and burn to a crisp.

So choice is yours :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkside748:
Hmm i guess ill be sticking to 1ghz then... thx for the replies!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] minjiet:
i do the same for my x10 n the phone running just fine.

in fact, before i sent my i9000 to samsung for warranty claim, i pass the phone to a local shop, the tech told me the OC cause the board overheat, then burnt it....:eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lamacow123:
Actually tegrak oc works fine. ocing at 1.3 will crash first time but not crash anymore after the first time. ocwidget is not really useful for ocing but just to same battery life. when not really using my phone i will set it at 100mhz-400mhz. you can play angry birds on stock rom with little lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkside748:
So you're saying i can oc.... but im running setcpu. I can OC with setcpu right? That brings another question when my screen is off what setting should i use for setcpu? In other words what is the minimum frequency?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mitch9294:
100MHz is fine for the minimum frequency (for me at least) - this may vary between phones, give it a try.

On the subject of over-clocking though, you should take a step back and ask yourself "How much do I really need those few milliseconds less to load up Angry Birds".

I would suggest that Samsung did more testing than anyone on this forum.

All that said though though I take my phone up to 1.2 sometimes for ****s and giggles & to shut up smug iPhone fanboys :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jj03:
No. Don't set set setcpu to anything below 400mhz because when the galaxy slips into idle mode it cn sometimes be difficult to wake up

. I'd imagine such a low clockspeed would encourage such behaviour. I set my minimum at 400mhz and max at 800mhz. Spot on.

my i9000..running gingerbread. perfectly. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lamacow123:
A bit off topic but gingerbread official or custom? And my phone works perfectly fine. No hard to wake up syndrome.
[Fascinate Accessories] prefanatic:
So I was told to make a review when I got this, cause people want reviews to see stuff and that ****. Now, onto the review.

Experience:

Arriving home one fateful afternoon, I noticed I had a package from Amazon. I opened up the box like a little fat kid in a candy store, and to my surprise, I didn't get half the item. Sent it back, got another one, all that fancy ****, and I opened it up. As initial impressions goes,

Smelt funny.

The back door is the same "rubber" material as on some of the Logitech mice, and the CR-48.

Battery had some weight to it.

The door cover is MUCH more ridgid than the stock one.

So I put it in and all that fun stuff, tried it out, and yeah. I ran the screen on for about 5 hours, from a 100% charged battery, and I dropped down to 75% in the end. I guess this is somewhat expected, considering the capacity of this battery is almost 2x the stock. Running superclean, standard kernel, the jist.

tl;dr

Pros:

Makes the phone feel more ridgid, stable, sturdy.

LONG battery life, as expected.

Nice grip to the phone.

Generally feels nice on the fingers; i.e they don't stick.

Raises the phone up a bit so the camera lense doesn't get scratched.

Cons:

Smells funky; probably the packaging.

Took me about 15 minutes to get it off. Snaps on so tight that it doesn't come back off easily.

My CR-48 material covering comes off easy, and this is the same material, so I'm worried its going to happen here as well.

This thing costs $24 as of now; if you have the money to spend I see no reason why not to get this, unless you have a limited supply of pocket space; then you're screwed.

Ask me in the channel for pictures, XDA won't let me throw em here.
[Fascinate Accessories] bobloblaw1:
I just took your advice. I hold you personally responsible if I don't like it. =P

Better battery + a less plastic-ey feel? I'm in.
[Fascinate Accessories] hondakorn:
is naztech a good brand? does the advertised mah match up to the actual?

thanks,
[Fascinate Accessories] prefanatic:
Its really great, I'm sure you'd like it.

Basing my information on my time with the battery, I'd say its a good brand. They sell other things too, got a website; they mostly do apparel for electronics. Also, yes, the advertised product is exactly as it is.
[Fascinate Accessories] hondakorn:
thx for responding, I think ill buy it tonight.
[Fascinate Accessories] bobloblaw1:
I should have the battery in today. I'll post up some impressions when I do get it.
[Fascinate Accessories] ataranine:
Pic doesn't load..good review.
[Fascinate Accessories] prefanatic:
Dropbox changed the link on me; I have to use the temporary gallery cache pictures, they don't end with an extension and XDA allows me to put them up. Just ask me in the irc if you want pictures.
[Fascinate Accessories] bobloblaw1:
Okay. So I have the casing and battery and have had it on for about the last last 24 hours so I will share what I think so far.

Casing: I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the casing. Honestly, it feels quite similar to the "soft touch" casing that, is found on HTC phones. This is a major plus for me as I hated how plastic-ey the stock casing felt.

The casing is a bit thick though. Id say it close to doubles the thickness of the phone. This isn't as bad as it sounds though as the fascinate us a thin phone to begin with. Personally I don't mind the added thickness and it might even sit a bit better in my hand. My girlfriend however has small hands and dislikes the phone being bigger.

The short version: case feels great. The thickness may or may not bother you.

As for the battery, the life seems good but I'm going to give it a few days to calibrate before I give a final impression.
[Fascinate Accessories] mypantsaretorn:
I went through my first day with this battery and I have the exact same impressions as below. The added thickness bothered me at first but I think I'm already starting to get used to it after only one day of use.

I unplugged my phone at 830 this morning and it's now just past 1030 for an uptime of over 14 hours and I have 51% left. This is just amazing considering my phone usually dies after 6-8 hours of use.

Final impressions: the best $24 I ever spent on any phone accessory I ever purchased!
[Fascinate Accessories] Piercing Heavens:
Can anyone post a photo and from which retailer did you guys order it from?
[Fascinate Accessories] jrowen76:
I ordered. Cant best the price from ama...
[Fascinate Accessories] ataranine:
So is the added fatness worth it? I know I wouldn't be comfortable with a huge lump in my pocket. :(

If you're gonna have such a huge ass on your phone, why not go with http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-Extended-Battery-Fascinate/dp/B004GHMS0S/ref=pd_cp_cps_1

or

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EB145152YZ-Extended-EBC-985EBZ-Fascinate/dp/B00479QDU6/ref=pd_cp_cps_2

:D
[Fascinate Accessories] Jmatch:
Now I just got mine do I need to charge or do anything special?
[Fascinate Accessories] prefanatic:
Just use it normally, condition it, etc.
[Fascinate Accessories] CC268:
I am going to look into getting a sweet battery, but not real familiar with them, what brands make batteries for these phones?
[Fascinate Accessories] lane32x:
So this one can be charged using the phone? Or do you have to use an external charger?
[Fascinate Accessories] Robtao:
No lump, just thicker (about twice), from the pictures. Just what I have been looking for. For $24, I've got to try it. Still at Amazon, same price, in stock, they say.

Just ordered it. I am used to paying $70 at Seidio for other extended batteries.
[Fascinate Accessories] vgupman:
Just got mine in. Really legit so far thanks for the review!
[Fascinate Accessories] vgupman:
Charges in the phone. Added thickness isn't so bad.

EDIT: By far the worst thing so far has been prying the damn cover off. Almost ripped my fingernail off...
[Fascinate Accessories] Robtao:
Got mine. Naztech. I like the feel better in my hand than the skinny phone. It reaches my palm. Shiny black. I guess about twice as think as the original, maybe just a bit more.

So far so good. The packaging looks like an established brand, but I am not familiar with Naztech.

This looks way better to me than the Samsung/Verizon one, or the Seidio. Plus the price was great.
[Fascinate Accessories] gomagic14:
Does anyone know of a holster that will fit this battery? I would prefer not to have my pockets full this summer.

Thanks
[Fascinate Accessories] mkzbdroid:
does it say it needs a special charger at all? cause I found a combo with a car charger included for 30 bucks on another site...
[Fascinate Accessories] akaine2001:
wrong thread...
[Fascinate Accessories] Bob-o:
I picked up one of these batteries. By far it is more than I expected. 22 hours on a charge with heavy use. I got it on amazon for 25 bucks. Doesn't add to much thickness either. Its easier to hold! Awesome battery. Go buy one.
[Fascinate Accessories] BlackHoleSlam:
not to steal your thread but i am looking at purchasing this http://cgi.ebay.com/Extended-Batter...ccessories&hash=item41595ad24c#ht_2334wt_1139

does anyone have any ideas on it like is it bs or any reviews
[Fascinate Accessories] bwhxeon:
Seeing as how the naztech battery is now out of stock, this ebay battery peaks my interest, but I wonder how it will function in the phone. Anyone know if community rom supprts third party batteries?
[Fascinate Accessories] BlackHoleSlam:
I know sir gatez made a mod for froyo to use non oem batteries and I just purchased the 3500 mah battery so I will test and report back
[Fascinate Accessories] ssignature:
The eBay batteries work well. I bought two different ones (both came with the identical shiny black cover). One was direct from Hong Kong and rated 2400mAh and the other came from a seller in the US (who now appears to have jacked his price WAY up) rated at 3500mAh. Both seem to have identical life. The seller of the US-based one told buyers to beware of the 3500mAh claim (and he is right). Both give me well over a full day of very heavy use. I got used to the feel of the extra thickness to the point that I now prefer it. It makes the phone perfect.
[Fascinate Accessories] ellisz:
So the China version of this on Ebay is just as good? Some of the cases look cheaper on the China version - looks like shiny cheap plastic vs. the matte finish looking Naztech. Do they really take a month to receive?

I have always hated the bump look and these look nice especially for long trips where you know you will need the extra juice.
[Fascinate Accessories] PhoenixPath:
Anyone have any experience ordering out of stock on amazon? I want this battery/case, but I've only ever ordered stuff from amazon that was actually in stock when I ordered it...

Just looking to see if anyone has horror stories or if it's just a waiting game, I guess.

I cannot imagine not having to charge my phone after just a few hours of use...

Edit: went ahead and ordered it anyway. Too good a deal to pass up. With the Samsung USB cable, it came to $26.10. Can't beat that with a baseball bat. ;)
[Fascinate Accessories] BlackHoleSlam:
True I with report how the 3500 battery is once I get it in a month might have to wait long but should be worth it
[Fascinate Accessories] PhoenixPath:
Was notified today that I should get it the last week of May. Can't wait to see how well this works for me.
[Fascinate Accessories] ellisz:
I saw it was back in stock today so I ordered one too. Have not got a shipping notice yet.
[Fascinate Accessories] TheSonicEmerald:
Can anyone report on how long it would probably last with notifications over 3G, heavy gaming and Youtube? If it lasts more than 12hrs.......:D
[Fascinate Accessories] mod143:
just ordered mine today off amazon, took less than a minute with the amazon app lmao.. after i bought mine theres 6 left in stock. i will update with my battery life once i get some cycles in
[Fascinate Accessories] streebs87:
Might order this. Sick of constantly charging my phone. Different batteries with different roms shouldn't matter, right?
[Fascinate Accessories] BlackHoleSlam:
just received my 3500 mah battery today its big no doubt and the one downside so far i i can't use my trident case with it :{ but it might be good enough for me not to car question guys how long am i suppose to over charge the battery for it to fully charge
[Fascinate Accessories] BlackHoleSlam:
Its big but it seems awesome so far
[Fascinate Accessories] Dueling Chainsaws:
How is the sound with the Naztech case? I haven't seen how it form around the rear speaker.
[Fascinate Accessories] BlackHoleSlam:
It has a bigger opening for it haven't tested yet the speakers will when I get home
[Fascinate Accessories] ellisz:
speaker sound seems the same to me. The Naztech looks pretty much the same as the 3500 Hong Kong one pictured above.

The thickness is not that bad really. If the 2400 battery extends the life by alot, I will be happy ;)
[Fascinate Accessories] ltrain996:
The 3000 mah one is better. It just doesnt die.. Ever..
[Fascinate Accessories] BlackHoleSlam:
The 3500 seems to be knock off and isn't what I thought it would be basically another stock battery capacity that is huge
[Fascinate Accessories] PhoenixPath:
Got my naztech and... Wow. It was on all night playing my white-noise app, unplugged, and it was only at 71% this morning. I am at 69% now, three hours later.

Got used to the size right away. Battery does feel a little loose though, and if you manage to get the cover off, it will fall out at the slightest bump. Nothing that cannot be worked around.
[Fascinate Accessories] streebs87:
Mine should arrive Tuesday. If tomorrow wasn't Memorial Day I'd get it then. Damn the post office for not delivering on Holidays! :p
[Fascinate Accessories] ellisz:
I am at 12h 18m and I have 30% left. Not that impressed... I have charged it twice now. Are you resetting battery stats? My battery sucks on the weekends though so I am hoping that is it. I normally have wifi on but did not today. My 3g signal sucks when I am home.
[Fascinate Accessories] PhoenixPath:
Charged to 100% yesterday and unplugged it around 2pm. Used it a bit and then had my white-noise (tmsoft) running all night. I have been playing music on it most of the day and had gps going for about a half hour. As of 9:52pm, I am at 18%. (wifi, mobile-data, and gps on the entire time.)

Yes, I put it in my phone when I got it and charged it for several hours (probably more than it needed) with the phone off and then booted straight into recovery to reset battery stats.

I suggest letting it drain completely until it powers off, charging it to full while off, and then resetting stats.

Phone: ED03 stock (tw launcher as well), rooted and marginally debloated... Still odexed and everything.
[Fascinate Accessories] mod143:
my battery should be arriving today, i will take before and after pics if anybody wants to see how much thicker the case is
[Fascinate Accessories] viceless:
@mod143, I would appreciate that quite a bit, thanks! turning in a textbook for one of these bad boys. ^_^
[Fascinate Accessories] mod143:
so initial thoughts are.. man this thing is huge.. took the pics with my wifes og droid and comparing the two, i would say this battery makes my phone the same thickness and weight as a og droid. i like how slim and light the fascinate is, so seemingly doubling the weight and thickness doesnt sit well with me. im hoping ill "get used to it" but i wasnt planning on using this battery permanently, just on days when i need some extra juice and wont have my charger handy.

edit: just re-read some of the initial posts, saying the cover is soft touch or rubbery.. mine is hard plastic like the oem.
[Fascinate Accessories] streebs87:
Thanks for the pics. It doesn't look big at all, and I think I'll like the added thickness.

EDIT: My cover is also hard plastic. The thickness really isn't too bad. Will have to get use to it though.
[Fascinate Accessories] streebs87:
Bump.

I put the battery in around 10pm last night. I didn't fully charge it, but I went to settings and my battery was at about 85. Right now it's at 45, with moderate/heavy use. Not bad, but I thought I'd get more. Now, should I wait until the battery is fully dead, charge while it is off, boot to recovery and clear batt stats, then boot up?
[Fascinate Accessories] viceless:
4-6 weeks... EEE!!! luckily by then my textbook buyback from amazon will be completed ^_^

Naztech 2500(?) Battery

I recieved my Naztech battery yesterday, charged it up with the phone off, reset batt stats, and unplugged it around 3pm. So it's been 22 hours since unplugging and I'm at 62 percent. Absolutely amazing battery life considering there's about 2 hours of plants vs. zombies thrown in there and my work reception is crap so it burns through batteries at my desk.

Running Com/Rom 2.0 with the -50uv kernel.

I ordered a 2400 Mah battery and recieved a 2500 Mah one, ok.

It does seem to come with a back cover that's hard plastic, basically the same glossiness as the stock one, but without a design on it. It's not hard to get used to the extra thickness, it is a bit easier to hold with larger hands.
[Fascinate Accessories] bsannes:
Ok So I got this battery on Wed. Night charged it up to 100% scrren off then did a bat stat wipe. Then I booted up at 6:45am Thurs. and here it is friday at 2:32pm and I'm at 40% :D

Now this is with normal use for me which is listening to music for like 45ish minutes on the bus, a couple of phone calls , and about 40+txt and data use. then while at work 8:30am till 11am it sat in my desk with data off just cause I normally do this while at work cause we are surrunded with led walls. then from11-11:30 did alot of web surfing and using apps and on both wifi and 3g. then intermitted use of 3g or wifi till 5pm then 3g till I got home then used wifi and left it on for about two hours while we grocery shopped. went to bed arould ten with it at about 69 percent. I did turn off wifi and 3g while I slept cause i wasn't using it any way. woke up to it at like 67% then I have been using it alot today.

I am running ComRom2.1 PBJ-50 :D

So I like it and body wise it makes the phone feel older for some odd reason, but I like it.:cool:
[Fascinate Accessories] viceless:
Back in Stock. Should get mine by Tuesday. ^_^
