Sad but true. I knew it fc'd but I bought it to support xda. Bonus is that it works on my phone :)

Plus we have a 10 in screen and the app doest come close to full net view

[HTC Excalibur] Ex Freak:
Hi guys. I searched but I don't think Anyone has asked this before. Ok, this may seem dumb and i'm sorry but, I'm wanting to get a better battery for my Excalibur but have a question first. Would it be possible to use a battery that's higher than 1050mah and 3.7v? If so, what's the maximum volts/amps I can use without frying the Excalibur? I've found a few batteries that would fit but are a lot more powerful than the original Excalibur battery.

Thanks for any help you all can provide. :)
[HTC Excalibur] tobbbie:
Battery capacity is limited by the size and the chemistry used. Li-Ion delivers 3.7 volt - you cannot change that and the device will not work with others. You are simply stuck with what is available. Try to get an original battery, they usually supply the best capacity.

Cheap 3.rd party only brag about their capacity that they never deliver - they simply lie to you straight face. If you are curious (and have some knowledge about the topic) follow my signature.
[HTC Excalibur] kachman:
i am not advising this and do it your own risk, but, i used to use the battery from my htc s310, i had to use a little pressure to pop it in the dash. but once its in, it gives you a longer battery life than the original dash battery. you cant charge it while its the dash though, you have to put back in the s310 to charge it.
[HTC Excalibur] Ex Freak:
Thanks Tobbbie for the useful info. Much appreciated! :)

Kachman, I don't think I'd want to go that far as to having to switch a battery between phones every time I need to charge it. >< I've done some research since my last post and now have another question - I've heard about the 1300mah batteries but I don't want to have to get a bigger door for my phone. Is the 1300mah okay to use for the S620 and will it fit in with the factory door? If not, what is the absolute highest that will still fit in the original door?

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] trentc:
Why not just make a battery hack? USB plug soldered to a homemade battery pack. Then plug it into the USB port on the bottom on the phone.

Each battery is 1.5 volts (AAA, AA, C, D), thus you would need at least three connected in series. 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 volts. I would think the extra .8 volts may not hurt the phone. Electrical components have a tolerance for voltage variances.

Only way to find out is to test it, unless you take the extra mile to design something to reduce the voltage before it goes into the phone.
[HTC Excalibur] tertuliano:
I remember Stylez advocating long time ago for a prominent Simplo 1550 mAh battery. May be you can find it.

Regards,

Tertuliano
[HTC Excalibur] condonhan:
for HTC, the maximum value I know is about 2000mAh
[HTC Excalibur] T1Cybernetic:
I have a standard 960 mAh and the 1550 mAh in my S620, They both came with the phone when it was new (From BT) The 1550 mAh is much better (Longer lasting) but does require a new back cover which is HUGE compared to the smaller one.

No idea where to buy the battery or cover from though, Sorry.

Hey Vovantuong, how many mha provides the Nokia batteries. Does it makes any difference the fact that pin 3 doesn´t hit any contactor?
[HTC Excalibur] vovantuong:
sorry for late replay. battery BL5c = 1020mAh. BL5CB = 800mAh

pin 3 not contactor Nokia battery because if contactor, s620 can not boot

note: when use Nokia battery can not charge

i use this method and satisfied

Please post all feedback/comments to do with the FreeKernel here

DO NOT SPAM THE BOOTLOADER CRACKING THREAD, IT IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY.

So, if you want to test this new kernel, please keep in mind it is only compatible with stock 2.1 firmwares (.504 and above) that are compatible with baseband 52.

It is only for testing purposes, and any feedback for this alpha kernel is purely for the benefit of others, Z is not and will not be supporting this version, do not expect it to be ready for daily use!

Please post your results and how you get on with the kernel.

Video of FreeKernel

http://vimeo.com/21838810

does anyone know how to embed it?

I tested the kernel on baseband .46 on TripNMIUI 0.3.2, and the removal of the FPS cap is incredible, the phone is so much smoother and fluid it is unbelievable - it is like having a new phone. I noticed the screen feels a lot more responsive aswell!.

Obviously it is not at all compatible with the ROM, there is no radio and there are frequent reboots, but just a taster in terms of things to come :D

Apologies for the poor video, but I think its enough to get the general gist of the smoothness :)
[XPERIA X10 General] dbooty:
Tried custom kernel just for kicks on trips miui 3.2...bb 54 and up super unstable no network/wifi tons of reboots....

bb 52 and bb49 no network but wifi IS working no sd card mount though :(

gonna test other roms aswell....
[XPERIA X10 General] pato66:
For install custom kernel to be need xrec by Z not from flashtool.

All works, clean install bb 2.0.46 and 2.0.A.0.504.

Dont problems.

I done back to my custom rom way xrec and flashed the patch bb.49, nothing problem.

cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] SErooted:
this will not work on bb .46 i have tried and failed. no network at all. have tried on several roms... only eternity roms are working on this kernel on bb .52....

supposedly it is suppose to work with bb .49 have not tested on this bb so i cant say for sure.

guaranteed on .52 build 504...

results on quadrant show fps cap has been removed.

overclock is not possible but undervolting is

colors have not yet changed but should upon release of other custom kernels
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Can I brick my x10 with this or only bootloop it (because bootloop is fixable with SEUS)
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
will this work with freex10 and can anyone give me a link to the main thread where zdhihu posted this? i can't find it. thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] dogwoofer:
You can't brick it as you only flash some files to the system, and you should still be able to access xrecovery if it bootloops :)
[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
THIS IS ONLY USABLE WITH STOCK 2.1 ON. 52 BASEBAND!!!

This is a test kernel not meant as anything more than a proof of concept. There is absolutely no reason to flash this unless you are personally working on making your own custom kernels. This kernel is not even an alpha release, it will never be developed or supported. If you choose to flash it just to toy around don't whine about functionality.

When custom kernels are available anything the hardware is capable of and drivers can be written for will be possible. Everyone needs to calm down and quit asking the same questions over and over.
[XPERIA X10 General] dogwoofer:
Have uploaded a video, does anyone know how to embed it in the post? :)
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
Thanks for the video!
[XPERIA X10 General] dogwoofer:
no problem :)
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
BTW. will it work on Freex10?
[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
No. Z posted it in the bootloader cracking thread. This is only meant for stock 2.1 FW on. 49-.52 BB and is not functional for daily use. This is only meant as a test if you want a stable new kernel its still going to take a little while.
[XPERIA X10 General] dogwoofer:
It won't work with any ROM 100% - its just designed for testing, you won't be able to use it for daily use yet.

If you just want to try it out, its possible it will boot up on freex10 and you will see the effects of not having a FPS cap - but it is unlikely the majority of things will work, like radio etc. as it is meant for stock 2.1 roms.

If you do want to try it, make a backup on xrecovery first :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Whitecookie:
I dont know what you have xD

What do you mean with "its not ready for dayly use" ?

I use it now since yesterday afternoon and everything works perfect!

I had no random reboots and everything is very smooth!

My Battery lost 1 % with stable 1 Ghz (playing around and testing).

So not be scared! flash it! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] dogwoofer:
As in its only supported by the stock 2.1 ROM, and if you run into any problems with it, its not being supported so you won't get a fix :p
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
so for example if i install this kernel on my freex10, how can i remove it later if i have problems with it?
[XPERIA X10 General] dogwoofer:
Create a backup on xrecovery before installing it, and then when you need to go back just restore it :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Driveskull:
Hey . Is this really working cos owain in ours minipro forums said its only first april joke, and we cant yet load custom kernel. Is there any difference between x10 bootloader and minis ??? How long it will take to do a fully working roms , softs to ours xperias ???
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
@ Whitecookie:

Do you use the .504 2.1 ROM?

Does someone if it works with 2.0.2 (the ROM which Eminence V1.2 is based on) works 100% with this kernel?
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
Doesn't work on freex10... infinite force closes...
[XPERIA X10 General] pato66:
Works perfect with 049, dont fc, all works, but I dont prove dualtouch, is true, but all the rest works.
[XPERIA X10 General] festa20:
I flashed it on .52 cm7 rc4 and it wouldn't access xRecovery or anything so I had to flash using pc companion

Works fine for me on .504 tho
[XPERIA X10 General] pcfanboy142:
I flashed it on wf's 2.2 cm just for the sake of trying it. It booted and everything, i was stunned at how much difference the fps cap being removed made but it crashes and reboots automatically after a few seconds as expected.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
I noticed that the computer has problems to detect the device with the custom kernel.

It was detected as usb device "M" and with the custom kernel it is "L", also usb debugging doesn't work, at least Flash Tool don't recognize it. And the computers wants me to install a driver, I waited and it detected the device as usb storage.

But the X10 is very smooth. Installed JIT now and will make more tests.

EDIT:

Gps doesn't work and Mediascape doesn't start, but still plays movies when you start it through camera or gallery.

But the phone is so damn fast and smooth that I keep using the kernel for now.
[XPERIA X10 General] renegade07_fr:
for me too, flashtool doesn't recognize the phone after upgrade to custom kernel.

but i also got problems with battery (eat me 40% in the night!)

it seems that system process eat 15-20 % of cpu all the time.

i've clean battery stat and dalvik cache in xrecovery but doesn't seems to be better!

anyone else got problems like that?

(ps: it's great, iptables works at least and we could use a real firewall :) )

thanks one more time to the devs

ps2: sorry for my bad english!

[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
Nice video.

With the custom kernel the X10 with 2.1 is as fast as the one with 2.21 xD
[XPERIA X10 General] sl1nk3:
The fps cap removal is excellent, it makes everything super smooth, hopefully we'll see it in other roms soon ;)

btw, I'm using this custom kernel on BB .52 + stock .24 (+ JITv2 + Dualtouch) and here's what I've noticed :

- ADB driver signature is different (Windows 7 x64 here), the driver needs to be manually set for ADB (and flashtool) to work.

- Using rom .24 and BB .52 together seem to break the GPS, everything else work.

- Battery usage seem to have increased quite a lot, especially when the phone is doing nothing, however this needs to be confirmed.

Awesome achievement anyway, i'm now waiting for a gingerbread kernel with fps cap removed :D
[XPERIA X10 General] SErooted:
There are some concerns with certain individuals who think that you will brick/ can brick your phone. i have installed/ uninstalled and vice versa with no problems. however like all software that you put on your x10 or other devices is not guaranteed.

therefore if your do brick your device/ devices you have been warned on each page of the sofware download that you use it at own risk and no one besides you is responsible.

however if you follow directions to a T.... there will be no problem in most cases and you can go about the merry use of the freekernel:-)

Happy flashing
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I don't think you can brick considering the bootloader is only bypassed, not cracked completely.

I'm fairly certain that we would still be able to access it, therefore it might be a good thing it isn't fully cracked.
[XPERIA X10 General] postbank:
I installed the 2.1 Nordic Firmware. Than I installed the 0.52 baseband, after I did this I installed Z's custom Kernel.

[edit] Also with the original baseband my sim-card cant connect with the phone...

The problem is my phone cant find my sim-card. What do I need to do now?

its the only prob so far with continous day and half usage no reboots at all and its silky smooth

thanx z

What can we expect of a new kernel from Z than the latest one...?

Comptability with 2.3.3?

Edit. Had another after chaning the sytem time..
[XPERIA X10 General] jujo08:
gps found?
[XPERIA X10 General] sl1nk3:
I've been testing Z's kernel for a few days on BB .52 + Rom .24, and I also noticed a few quirks (apart from what has been reported already such as the GPS).

The phone tends to reboot while using intensive applications such as games, it happened in Fruit Ninja twice and once while debugging my own game, this might be caused by the undervoltage of the core.

Also, after switching to the new kernel, the battery drained while doing nothing resulting in terrible battery life, however this stopped (after a reboot?), it now has settled and is back to where it was before.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] foofiebeast:
My girlfriend got this phone in the mail today from signing up for some contest. She doesn't need it, I don't need it, but what she does need is a new pmp.

Would it be possible to use this phone just as a personal media player? I've never used a phone with this kind of set up before (no contract situation). If she doesn't pay anything does the phone still function as normal with the exception of data and voice?

Like would all other aspects of the phone still function normally? Also is this even worth doing (in terms of battery life and speed of the phone?).

I'm a little jealous because I just happened to not go in and sign up for the same thing she did that day. Lucky girl :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
It will work great as a wifi enabled media player. Just turn off the gps, 3g data, etc. I don't have a contact our a data plan with my phone and out works great on just wifi for playing music and podcasts, including diagnosing music from online.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cutterjohn:
Works GREAT as an AUDIO player... It'll suffer in video playback though, but you might as well keep it as it has access to the Google Market, a kinda passable camera, and well er I guess it's "free"...

[EDIT]

YES! Post below! Airplaine mode is a MUST if you're NOT using it as a phone!

Also must mention that GPS in the phone MAY be handy if you don't have another phone/device with it...

[/EDIT}
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ngarcesp:
you should put your phone in airplane mode (no data transfer, no calls, no wifi, no gps, no everything except for apps, that way the battery life will last forever (wich is about 5 days in this phone). You do this in the notification taping the airplane icon

My omnia 7 could connect to my brother's iPhone personal hotspot without a problem, but after the NoDo update i can't connect anymore! I wrote to Microsoft Answers but they told me to delete the network and try connecting again but that obviously didn't work. So i ask do you have the same error or you don't and what can i do :S

The error is: connection unsuccessful. You phone couldn't reach the Wi-Fi network ... You know the rest :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rpmura:
I have exactly the same problem, except I'm using a Samsung Focus. It won't connect to my iPhone personal hotspot. I get the same error message. Of course it doesn't give you any more detail than that. I've not been able to find any fixes either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I have NoDo installed on an LG Quantum, and a buddy at work has the iPhone 4, and I connected just fine last week when we were comparing phones.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Got a bit tired of Vibrant.....not that its bad, its a great phone and TouchWiz has been great too, GPS worked fine as well.....but the lack of ROMs made me switch. I tried going back to Nexus One.....no go, screen is crap, cant type anything without mistakes after Vibrants SAMOLED.....so HD2 came into my mind. Ironically, this Windows 6.5 phone has more Android support then Vibrant. It runs anything you want, Win6.5, Win7.0, CM7, Miui, HTC Sense, and even Linux......thats why I decided to give it a shot, at least until Pyramid comes out.
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
I've used both...

The screen size of the HD2 is nice, but the Vibrant display is superior in every other way IMO. And while the HD2 has some excellent ROMs, I wouldn't expect everything to work out of the box. It may run all those OSes you just mentioned, but the only one it officially runs is WinMo 6.5. Expect to compromise on features and do some tinkering otherwise. (If you require HD video recording, for example, don't even consider the HD2.)

It sounds like you've had pretty good luck with your Vibrant (compared to other Vibrant owners). Especially considering the fact that you don't mind TouchWiz, not sure I'd recommend the switch...that's just my opinion from several weeks experience. Your mileage may vary of course.

Good luck though. The HD2 has the best build of any phone I've ever used.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
thanks.

well, since today, Miui Gingerbread is officially supported on hd2. this is one of the reasons for switch. Miui work great on my Nexus 1
[Vibrant General] Blkegk:
I have both the vibrant and hd2, the hd2 is my back up/ fun phone. I gotten tired of touch wiz and wanted to try aosp android. So after months of having the hd2 I flashed everything under the sun and loved it. There is always something new to do on the hd2.

But as for battery life, stability and speed i still use the vibrant for my main phone.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
not a fan of aosp. more of a sense and Miui fan :-)

really worried about battery though
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
After using the HD7 so much, I cannot fathom going back to using only a 4" screen as my main phone. I still use my Vibrant daily - I think some of the Official Apps on WP7 like Twitter and FB still need a bit more work. But with just 0.3" less screen size it feels too small already. I can barely type on it anymore.

The screen is really good but once you start using the other phones (even using them side by side) I don't think I ever really think about which screen is better, TBQH.

And yea, the build quality of the HD2 is great outside of the dust-attracting speaker grilles :P

However, the Vibrant makes a superior phone to the HD2/HD7. Reception is a lot better. The Vibrant's speakers are also a lot better than the HD2/HD7s. Less tinny and twice as loud. Even the earpiece volume for talking on the phone on an HD2/HD7 is almost 50% thinner and lower in volume than the Vibrant.

Just makes me think how much of a shame it was for Samsung to put such terrible software on the Vibrant (not in function or aesthetics, but in performance and robustness).
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Wow...did not know that lol. That's awesome.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
if you could, just buy a 2nd hand hd2 and keep them both.

Stay away from the SGS2, you'll never be able to go back to a 4.3 inch. :p
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
Nothing against the vibrant but I jsut bought an dell streak. Vibrant is the champion being the longest phone in my possession. Im just bored with it and the dell streak is about the only phone I havent had besides the nexus s. Just waiting until the sgs2 comes out.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
So far 4.3'' is pretty impressive, dont miss SAMOLED at all. Both speakers suck in HD2 compared to Galaxy, built quality is much better then Galaxy, Android actually runs faster (maybe the same), battery life dont know yet..... I hear mixed reports that Gingerbread is draining more battery......but the good thing is that Miui updates are comming out each week and no wipe is needed. Might try Gingerbread Sense UI later on since its still "new" to HD2
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Not sure about the latest releases, but pongster's GBX ROM has a great reputation battery-wise. And yeah, those GB Sense builds will be sick if they get the camera working.

Edit: The main thing that bothers me about the HD2/7 display is the LCD response time. Do you guys notice this as well?
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
what do you mean about LCD ? Haven't noticed anything different from Vibrant yet.
