There are a good number of threads about "high capacity" batteries from posters wanting to believe a $10 battery from China is in fact better than HTC's... fakes, don't fall for what an ebay seller is saying.

Search the Accessories subforum & you'll see them.

As stated, currently Mugen offers a 1300mah battery, offering 5% longer life (obviously something non-linear in the calculation there, I get 3.1%)

There is apparently a 1500mah battery from Mugen, look out for the thread in this subforum. That works out at just on 20% extra capacity, probably 25% by their reckoning :)

It's a big, bulky phone & HTC obviously didn't want to make it feel like a small tablet, although the big screen & processor are very thirsty.

3 options -

Juice Defender and/or use the phone less :cool:

make sure when you're at home/work/in the car etc, you have something to charge with

think about a battery pack which plugs into the phone & typically has capacity for 3 full charges or so (if you need power for a sustained period of time). They are about 1/2 the volume of the phone itself, not a bad option.

why cant they make a C-shaped battery that comes out of the side and stretches across the back of the phone? :rolleyes:

Yes I now know they are not for the DHD

They were links passed onto me.

I though the phones might share the same batteries.

Where does one get these from and how does one to that?

Because a/ you won't have wifi connectivity and b/ it will look ridiculous. The stock battery it pretty much the most capacity out phones will ever get. If you can't last a day with it or charge every night, buy an external battery pack.
[Desire HD Accessories] Joey93:
You can follow the guides in any ROM from the development section here - http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765

But you'll need to downgrade (probably, check in settings > about phone > software version, anything above 1.72 build number will need downgrading), root, and s-off (This all looks scary if you haven't done it before, but if you follow the instructions, it's not that bad, if you have any problems these forums are fantastic at helping)

Downgrade - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

Root - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837519

S-Off - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

The instructions here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964996 - are probably better than my quick ones, but you might want to read all the pages and instructions at least once through before doing anything so you feel like you know what you're doing

I'd also like to recommend LeeDroid as a ROM, fantastic battery life, an easy 2 full days and smooth as anything - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842802

It does take a while but is worth all the effort, and it does all look scary doing things and typing things you don't really know what mean, but if anything does go wrong, this site is fantastic at helping out =) :)

Agreed about rooting and custom roms, I get a full day easy now

I'm running leedroid 2.2.3 and kernel 2.2.9 vrooom
[Desire HD Accessories] mjehan:
How is that even technically possible that a rooted DHD or one having a Custom Rom will have a better battery life ? Assuming no additional apps are installed that manage power/CPU/memory stock ROM vs Rooted+Custom ROMs give u almost the same run time.
[Desire HD Accessories] Morality:
I believe this has something to do with system and radio optimizations and custom kernels :)

Would be silly not to install some sort of cpu-management on a custom rom, though.
[Desire HD Accessories] intern:
I really can't understand why people would want to make the phone any bigger than it already is with bulky cases or battery extenders. The phone is already huge..
[Desire HD Accessories] shah_jee:
disagree! phone is not huge, in fact its slimmer than iphone3 4 and 5 when it comes out to brainwash the masses.

its screen is huge - PLUS POINT. but thats what made us go for the DHD :D
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
The screen size made me buy the phone and its not big it fits perfect in my pocket :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Flussen:
have you ever thought of buying something like this?

http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-iCruiser-IMP1000-Blackberry/dp/B003ZBZ64Q?tag=5336653508-20

it's like an external charger in your pocket, and it's not even really big
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
I got the 5000mah version for a fraction of the cost (GBP23 off Amazon UK), and it suits me fine:

I have a case, and dislike getting to the battery compartment anyway :)

if you were to change batteries, apart from the hassle of keeping track of what is charged & not charged, swapping batteries takes time for reboot etc

This way, I know I can be out all day with the GPS on and have no need to worry about power.

Everyone has different needs, but the external pack is a great solution

[Desire HD Accessories] ivolol:
I would be pretty sure that's a fake.

Using 'gold' does not make a battery better in any way... just shinier.
[Desire HD Accessories] manudas:
I bought one yesterday to test it. It is cheap, so even it's like the original, will be enough for me.
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
Yes, but cheap is not good. If a respected manufacturer has had difficulty (Mugen) squeezing just 1500mah into this form factor, you can guarantee that an ebay seller & his "gold" manufacturer from China have not worked out a way for 2430mah to fit!

But it does goe to show how easy it is to sell an unremarkable product.

Along with all the threads about "high capacity" batteries, those who buy should report the vendors etc to stop them illegally misrepresenting their products

Hi guys,

im trying to compare the min. battery drain of different Rom/Radio combos.

My min. battery drain in "deep standby" is 36mA with 1.82.405.1 / 26.04.02.17 and anything off (Wlan=off; UMTS/HSDPA=off). No drain apps running in background…i guess…

Which values do you have?

To measure im using "correntwidget" with log or "battery monitor widget". Both from market.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrafa:
I know there are some voice changers in the market to record your voice and transform it ussing effects, but i would love to see some app doing that in realtime in phone calls, changin your voice to female for example, for pranks or even for inapropiate and undecent calls.

Does anyone know of an app like this?

And please, take the possible legal debate out of here!

Something like this you mean ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrafa:
Yes, but that is a service offered by a company, you have to dial a number in the United states, and they do all the work and you have to buy minutes.

I was thinking an app like voice changer. you record something and it transforms your voice to alien, helium, etc. and i have to say it does it very quick so hardware shouldn't be a limitation for a phone to do it itself realtime in middle of a call.

I ask just because i could not find it in the market, 200.000 apps and no voice changer for a device that is intended primarily for talking.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeekranz:
I doubt that there's anything.

You would need a real low audio latency to preserve a reasonable call and as far as I know, it's currently impossible to achieve that with Android.

Just have a look at all those iOS applications, there are even professional audio apps etc..

If you're interested in the issue, then have a look here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunoldman:
I think it may have something with the "blurphone.apk", it record the voice and transmit it in real time. It is possible when someone develop a software to replace it. But it is a system app and I haven't found a similar third party app yet.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeekranz:
But it would still require some sort of audio processing algorithm, which would increase the latency too much to perform a normal call.

It would be like Skype with a bad connection.. you say something and the other person would hear your voice half a second late.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaukraut:
As I would love to have such an app too, I have done some research in the net with the result: NO. unfortunatelly.. because of hardware issues as it would need to much ressources for the real time voice changing (as kaffeekranz allready mentioned).

But: there are several hardware solutions. Little devices, which you hold in front of your phone while talking. That works not so bad even with cheap devices from ebay - I have tested it allready.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toth42:
I'm very sure that this must be possible - my sister had a cheap chinese-phone, branded trustingly with "digital mobile digital phone"(even had a sushi game and TV) - And this crap-phone had built-in voicechanger. You just activated it before placing a normal call, and you'd sound like a baby, a deep male voice, a robot or w/e, could choose from 7-8 predefined voices.

If it can be done on a cheap knock-off(far from a smart-phone), then surely it should be possible on at least a rooted phone?

This:

is exactly what I'm after, but without going by WiFi, all scrambling should be done internally, between the mic picking up the sound and sending it to the other party.

Edit: This app seems to claim it has live/realtime changing, but nothing regarding calls:

Chinese phones have it

How come cheap chinese phones have it and a super smart phonr like android doesnt? This sucks. I have a 40 buck chinese phone that can not only change my voice to many different voices, it can also give me background noises...i know background noises are not a big deal to code, but voice changing shouldent be impossible... I really hope someone comes up with this very usefull app...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1zzl3:
Isn't this just forbidden by law? Maybe that's why Google doesn't put it into Android and those Chinese phones do have it..

I think this link does tell the story... need a low level interface directly to do realtime full duplex modification of communications.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehknaton:
We might have reached forbidden grounds here..

There could be a conspiracy at hand, there are no apps that can change your voice while talking on the phone, because we are being monitored, and your phone calls listened..and recorded
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakeron:
How about legal complications maybe? I knox that in some countries voice changing is illegal unless you tell the other person you have. Just like recording too.

[Touch HD General] nicari92:
Hello everyone! That's my first thread.. (I'm Italian, sorry for my English)

Some month ago I've flashed a new radio. When the Touch HD restarted the wifi stopped to work properly. It can connect only if I put the Touch HD very close to the wifi router. If it is farther then some cm it doesn't connect.

I've already tried to flash another radio as another ROM, but still doesn't work..

Any solution?
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
1. after a radio rom flash, you should perform a hard reset, because otherwise pre-existing connections (saved wi-fi networks, bluetooth pairings) might not work anymore after the upgrade

2. if you have troubles with the signal strength, you can set wi-fi to max. performance instead of battery saving, depending on your OS rom the way to those settings might vary.
[Touch HD General] nicari92:
I've done the hard reset and set the wifi to max, but signal strength still very low..and still unable to connect to the network..
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
if you revert back to the radio rom/ OS rom combination you had before (when it still worked), it should work again. if it doesn't, do the full routine, flash back a stock rom, then your spl, rom and radio again, in combination with task 29, it must be the exact same state as before. otherwise, there is only one reason: a hardware defect, maybe the antenna cable of the wifi card got unplugged or there might be something actually broken. but given the exact timing of the events, a software reason is far more likely.
[Touch HD General] kimtaei:

[Captivate General] NewbDroid:
Hello all,

I'm encountering a very unusual situation with my Captivate. I use my phone as my alarm clock, etc and I leave it charging overnight since that's, well, the most convenient time to leave it charging.

This weird trend developed over the last three nights; my phone would strangely shut down over night once it was fully charged. Now, what is even weirder is that when I wake up and notice it is off I can't even turn it back on by using the power button. I have to remove the back of the phone, remove the battery, re-insert and only then will my phone turn on. Over this time period I have not updated anything or made any changes to my phone's settings. It's just.... happened.... which is what I find to be very puzzling.

Any ideas? Thoughts?

Thanks!

[Captivate General] d3v14n7:
Actually, Rogers is pretty good with replacements if your phone is under warranty, I had both my old HTC Dreams replaced without question due to a bad e911 update and the other due to the slide out keyboard being slightly misaligned when in the closed position.

Rogers isn't all that bad when compared to Bell and Telus, they're the better carrier of the 3 when it comes to customer service, even though people seem to hate on them a lot.
[Captivate General] NewbDroid:
One thing I should probably clarify is that the shutdowns only happen when I am plugged in to the charger overnight. When I'm not plugged in my phone doesn't shutdown randomly, which is why I am so confused.

I do have Captivate Keep Alive installed but it does Nothing for when you're plugged in.

Ideas? Thank for everyone's help so far!

[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
guys, sprint already has unlimited mobile to mobile minutes without using google voice. to any carrier.
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
you missed the point. those who use google voice were using their regular minutes because google voice numbers are landline numbers. even if you were calling a mobile phone through google voice, you would still be using minutes because in order to initiate the call, sprint would have to call your landline google voice number, thus costing you minutes.
[EVO 4G General] atypical1:
Currently you use your minutes if you use google voice. The unlimited is for mobile to mobile using your cell phone. Franky this is the reason I don't bother with google voice. When this gets sorted it will be a good reason to switch to google voice.

It really looks like sprint is solidifying their relationship with google.

[EVO 4G General] weidnerj:
Isn't Google voice VOIP? So it would use data (no user voice minutes). The caveat would be if you are calling another Sprint user, and the incoming call from Google voice would be from a LAN line, so mobile to mobile minutes wouldn't work - the recipient would use their minutes because it would be a land line to mobile minutes. But if both parties were using Google voice, then no voice minutes, only data.
