[LG Optimus 2x] sorech:
Only used stock. However I liked the one on HTC Desire HD better then the one on this phone (LG optimistic 2X) . Wish it comes in a custom ROM soon.

[LG Optimus 2x] Novek:
Using Boat browser atm, but Opera 11 has been my choice since it came... Never testet flash in Opera, but it may be integrated now(other post here)?

Testet skyfire, xscoope, miren, firefox++ Miren was my favorite on my G2, but 2X somehow lags when trying to switch tabs, so I switched :)
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Stock with AdFree
[LG Optimus 2x] h1o:

[LG Optimus 2x] Aaberg:
Miren. Really a fantastic browser.
[LG Optimus 2x] SunSetsForever:
Opera Mobile, mostly because of the great Computer <--> Mobile Phone synchronization.

Operamobile:

best text reflow ever seen

Opera link

doesnt have problem with login pages at wifihotspots like stock one do

seems to run smoother than stock on O2X

unfortunatelly sometimes Im experiencing issues when i want to download something
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
I tried Mirren and Firefox4.

I'd love to use Firefox 4 but it causes my LG Launcher to crash and makes the phone nearly freeze.

Mirren seems really good, but i don't like the colors.

Using the stock browser most of the time.
[LG Optimus 2x] Squidinker:
I've always used stock on phones - I have a tablet for heavy web stuff and a phone is really just there to quickly visit a specific site or serve a request, not spend any amount of time on it.

FireFox is certainly nice but I just don't need all the things it offers.

The only time I used a non stock browser was on my very old k800i where Opera's proxy make viewing heavy pages much faster.

Nowadays with fast connections and better CPU there's no need for it though.
[LG Optimus 2x] Novek:
I have to say boat browser mini really is the best browser I've tried so far... and I've tried a few: Opera, Dolphin HD, Miren, xScoope, Firefox ++

Boat has html5, flash, pinch to zoom, tabs ++ :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Stock browser, its fast, smooth, supports flash very well..and does everything!
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Hi guys! I'm using Opera Mobile , great browser! But i need to view pages in fullscreen (or without the bottom toolbar) especially in landscape mode. Is there a fix or a mod (maybe in about:config) to remove it?
[LG Optimus 2x] jsapp:
I use Xscope. I got it when I as still using the G1. I had tried Opera and Dolphin, but I didn't care for those, and those were all the options at that point. Xscope has never been an issue for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] spot_1337:
I like Dolphin HD most because you can install add-ons which blocks ads and you can change theme etc. i like the bookmark thingy on the side and it doesn't lag when you scroll around while loading a page.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nebelpfad:
Is there any browser which supports the ecostream or filestage-streaming?

or is there another way to get it workin' on all browser?

I get nearly crazy since I want to stream some online episodes of my favorite series...
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Proper Exit?

Anyone know of a browser that "always exits"? i.e, always closes all tabs and shuts down the process when you press the back button and exit?

Must not have an exit confirmation prompt either.

I hate it that browsers are inconsistent here and I occasionally end up with tons of background tabs loading on start.

Stock doesn't do it it

Dolphin/mini doesn't do it (and has exit prompt! :mad:)

Miren doesn't do it (:( - because this is my fav, I like 'smart full screen')

?
[LG Optimus 2x] Tookiejar:
Im using xScope and its the best browser ive used so far. It is the fastest ive used too!

Skickad ifrån min O2X
[LG Optimus 2x] player911:
Coming from a Nexus One running CM7... I loved the Stock browser. Of course he adds lots of tweaks like useragent in settings and full screen options.

I have tried Opera and Firefox, DolphinHD, etc. They all work pretty well but I would always resort to stock after flashing to a new rom the next day.
[LG Optimus 2x] JJnJ:
Stock... Works great for me, others are different and im not sure if they give me more speed
[Vega Themes and Apps] Philip:
I am relatively new to Android, via a Dell Streak.

I have just bought an Advent Vega, and I am trying (without any success!) to understand how app licencing works when I have 2 or more devices.

It's obviously not a problem for free apps, but what is the position for the apps that I have paid for (e.g., NDrive, VCOrganizer Pro, Bloat Freezer)? Can I run these on multiple devices, or do I need to buy a separate licence for each device? If it's the latter, how do I do this, given that they are all tied into one Google account, so whichever device I use to connect to the Android Market, Google always thinks that the app has been paid for.

Or does it depend on the application (in which case, how do I find out what the position is for each app? The web sites don't tell me).

Confused!
[Vega Themes and Apps] Blais:
You can use the softwares on more than one device as long as you have the same google account on them. I have a Desire and considering this fact buying this tablet was a better deal than an Ipad.
[Vega Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Any app you download in the android market, paid or not can be run on any android device linked to the same google account.

If you buy apps from alternative sources e.g. gameloft then they usually link the apps to your specific device
[HTC Desire S] A|ex:
Does anyone know if HTC will create an extended battey for this phone?
[HTC Desire S] uoosuow:
Hardly. Case is solid, there's no space for it.
[HTC Desire S] tychodebrahe:
I found this 1800mAh one. It is not made by HTC but it should support Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
doesnt look reliable.. but its mugen whi makes that battery. dont buy from tha website, go to the official mugen website.
[HTC Desire S] baste07:
are you having problems with the battery life for desire s?

experience says 3rd party batteries doesn't do justice... eventhough they have a higher rating, they perform more poorly than the orginal lower rated battery.
[HTC Desire S] j1mmy:
My battery seems pretty weak, one day of moderate usage, and it was gone, a little bit of everything, wi-fi (no more than 1 hour all day long), games, calls, camera, browsing through the menus, aprox 40-50% backlight only slightly above my average use...

how long should it keep the phone running for?

can't find reliable info on this, too few people have this device, I hope the comunity gets bigger
[HTC Desire S] tkent:
1.1800mah seen it's not reliable

2.there is one movable charger in markey
[HTC Desire S] radusy:
any ideea if there is an extended battery for the phone connector? for sos when you remain without battery and desparate need the phone :D :D
[HTC Desire S] abu busyra:
it will be good to upgrade the battery..very fast one to drain up.

found somewhere samsung gs2 already come up with 2100mAh battery which is very good
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Galaxy note, with a 2,500 mah battery!

But a huge 4.5" screen, Like HD amoled scrren, 1.4 dual core..

That will drain the large battry around the same as a standard phone!
[HTC Desire S] :
I use this one as an emergency battery pack. Can highly recommend it. There are cheaper ones out there, but they usually break or don't meet the claims of their capacity...

Maybe i've got to reset battery controller history?

and how to do this? ))
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
that's because it probably isn't as good as the original battery. it's from ebay and the fact that it's painted gold just makes it even more hard to believe.

You should always get a battery from a reliable company.

the mugen power is £30 from mobile fun.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/mugen-ht...edium=comparison&utm_campaign=google+products

1800mAh
[HTC Desire S] razamanaz:
nope, i dont think so ... people bought and checked this batt, they sad that its OK, better than original... i think that some problem is in controller, or ive done something wrong way at first time of using ((
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
What happened to the mugen thread?

Why did it get deleted??
[HTC Desire S] old.splatterhand:
Its gone a long time ago.

I think because there were special codes for cheaper prize.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
ah :/ What is wrong with promoting cheaper prices?

why coudnt the mod just delete the posts? It was a good reference!
[HTC Desire S] old.splatterhand:
I dont know for sure, if this was the reason. It was special offers for limited persons, so this could be...

But i absolutly agree with you!

And as i was a mod in a german board some time ago i think it is a shame to delete a whole thread --> very, very sad...:(
[HTC Desire S] nidhinrabi:
so for nw th best most reliable and well tested one is th mugen batt. huh???
[HTC Desire S] mila81:
dont know if this helps people but i have had the mugen battery for a few weeks now and maybe just the placebo effect but phone lasts easliy 16+ hours. I leave it on charge over night then its on from 7am untill 10/11pm at which point most the time it has 20%+ left thats with wifi left on from 5/6 onwards.
[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
There is an app called battery doctor that will provide you with 2-3 hours more time of battery time.

However this is used only for SOS cases and the DS becomes a simple phone as the disables all internet connection,background data and even lowers very much the screens light.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
It doesn't actually physically give extra 2-3 hours, it preserves the battery to last 2-3 Hours :)
[HTC Desire S] Alfi91:
A spare original with a dock to charge it should do the trick
[HTC Desire S] lokiloki:
i charge my DS nightly (can only do so at home), so as long as the stock batt (or any other battery actually) can last me at least 16-20 hours, an extended battery wouldn't really make much of a difference since the juice is refilled every night

I wonder if there's others who's the same :o
[HTC Desire S] MarlX:
Ditto.

I charge mine almost everyday. 18-20 hours usage is pretty good to me.
[HTC Desire S] leopard86:
My battery life with all time EDGE is

15 to 17 hours.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, charge everynight...

I think if I refrain from using the phone too much I can get 1 and a half days
[HTC Desire S] ashish.negi:
Dont think there will be any extended battery for Desire S as the body is not that flexible.
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
I use to have the mugen battery but I lost it. I didnt notice the difference too much, mainly because it is still not enough for a heavy user to make it through a second day. It may or may not of extended life by a few hours but certainly its hard to notice the difference and I can not justify the price of it so will not be buying another.
[HTC Desire S] giotto89:
the really best solution is: Change Rom, and change performance of cpu from ondemand to powersave. when I changed it, my DS battery lasts about 2 days.
[HTC Desire S] flashsam:
Can anyone else confirm whether these 'gold' batteries from ebay (2430mAH) are any better or not that the original batteries?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-2430...021?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f11a07cc5
[HTC Desire S] :
Nice find. Almost worth a splash at that price. Would be very impressed if that claimed capacity holds up to be true and you can actually charge it to full capacity in your phone.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Nope, don't trust these batteries!

The DHD have many threads warning about these "gold" batteries from eBay which are fake from China

Although these ones are shipping directly from Manchester ...

Cheers Oli. Usual rule of thumb then: if it sound too good to be true....

Then it probably is :D

They are bound to be fake capacity :)

Although, if you check Amazon, Ankers do a 1600Mah battery for around £8. And Ankers have a great reputation for the sensation batteries.they are dirt cheap and do the job well!

[HTC Desire S] ucankofte:
I need one :)
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
is there no other HTC phones with bigger capacity that we can use with our DS?
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
Aaaand... here I am! :)

Sorry guys, but I've been studying like nuts for a Cisco exam I have to take and I wasn't able to test my battery for quite a while.

Mugen Battery instructions mention that it is suggested to charge the battery for 8-12 hours for the 5 first times. Yesterday I did the 3rd full charge and used it a lot. To be more specific, I used it around 40' in calls, sent/received around 15 text messages, played a game for 10', took 2-3 pics, used google maps for 15-20' with GPS enabled, some internet browsing on Wifi and twitter, facebook & foursquare on HSDPA/3G oh and had a couple of calls (around 2' each) with Viber on 3G.

With all the above, I ended up plugging it in the charger after 31 hours (I was at 13% at that moment) !!!!

I'm truly amazed! With the stock battery in order to achieve a 25-26 hours I had to simply leave my DS almost "idle" during the entire day. Usually I charged it, with the stock battery, every night since it would reach at 7-10% (unplugged from charger at 08:30 am and plug it in at 02:00).

If the battery instructions are precise then after 2 more full charges, the battery will achieve its maximum capacity. If I see any further improvement I will let you know. From what I see with my DS, I recommend these batteries without any second thoughts! :)
[HTC Desire S] Isovitisgr:
Hey mate! Can you give the link to the battery you bought? I need a new one, but there are lots of crap out there so after your review I may buy one of these!
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
Hello Isovitisgr! :)

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/htc-desire-s-s510e/mugen-power-1800mah-extended-battery-for-htc-desire-s-s510e.html

That's the one I bought and by the way, without much usage (just typical) I managed to reach around 40hrs of uptime on battery! :)

Just do what the instructions say, it does need the first 5 charges to be for 8 - 12 hours!

I'd also suggest you buy this:

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/htc-desire-s-s510e/htc-desire-s-usb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html

I didn't bought it and I regret that, I'll buy it these days (and pay again shipping fees).

Since you're also from Greece, with the cheap shipping method it took them around 3-4 weeks for the item to come.

Let me know if you need any further help.

BR,

Kostas
[HTC Desire S] Isovitisgr:
Thank you very much for your review Doghous! It's been really helpful! My only thought is that I dont really know if it is my battery that dies or the last CM9 update that causes my battery to drain so fast! So, I ll just wait for another CM9 update, and if the problem insists, I think I'm gonna buy one of these!

Thank you again,

Christos

[HTC Desire S] Jev_S:
i have been spectator on this web site for years, but now want to share something with you guys on this thread. after reading this post i decided give it a shot and buy cheap chinese battery pack for my desire S. found one on ebay.co.uk "High Capacity Gold 2430MAH Replacement Business Battery For HTC Desire S BA S530". when it arrived i did unwrap that foil to see if any info about mAh is underneath, but nothing were there just plane metal housing. after first full charge it did almost like mine original 1450mAh battery. but yesterday it finally drained after third full charge, and wow! i'm amazed how it performed! :D 54 hours of normal usage, wifi off only for a night time, mostly facebook, gmail, google maps on 3G, calculator, calls, sms, just normal usage for me. original htc battery did like 22h +/- 3 h. but this is great, i mean for cheap battery... and will perform better after fifth full charge. i'm running IceColdSandwich-8.1.AOPK-test5, stock clock, max brightness. sync on, wifi on during whole day, 3g on ocassions, gps off, bt off.

I just got my first android phone a few days ago and was reading the forums since then :)

My defy come with android 2.1 (build 2.34.1) . I want to upgrade to 2.2 but also be able to downgrade to stock one just in case i need to get it back to warranty or update to official 2.2.

From what I've read and understood, first thing to do is to to make a nandroid backup. I installed z4root and got my phone rooted.

If I'm not mistaken, next step is to install DEFY ClockworkMod Recovery - 2.5.1.8 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944543 and then do a nandroid backup.

Then, what 2.2 rom can I install to be able to downgrade to my backup rom ?

Every custom ROM on this forum has the option todowngrande IF YOU FLASH THE FIXED SBFs. Don't flash a full SBF or you will lose your warranty (like me). The steps are (usually):

1) got o recovery wipe data/factory reset

2) restore a nandroid backup suplied by the custom ROM;

3) flash the fixed SBF;

4) Boot the ROM

BUT, read the whole topic about the ROM that you want to prevent mistakes. I Suggest you try Jboogie3 LiquidArc/BluelessGinger or Pays 5.1, then, when you are more confortable with the ROM system and apps that you like, try Barebones.
[Defy General] petronel:
How about going back to my stock rom? It is enought to do:

1) recovery wipe

2) restore my nandroid backup

3) flash 2.34.1 sbf ?

my system is Moto_Version.2.34.1.MB525.Retail.en.SEA and the 2.34.1 sbf i find is from a Moto_Version.2.34.1.MB525.Retail.en.CEE , should this be a problem ?

Would it be possible to port the new kernels from the Thunderbolt over to the Evo? I have the new camera hardware on mine and don't know if the Thunderbolt went to the new camera also. If so, they have the Kernel hacked and running up to 1.92 GHz!! Would love to finally have a overclockable kernel for my new hardware phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
Ofcourse it would be possible to do so, but the Evo couldn't support the kernel because of the Hardware differences between the two.

You are correct, and I understand your posting it here to an extent because a lot of the time some questions get overlooked in Q&A. However, if you look at the last stickied thread in this section there is a post titled:

"Thread DELETED/Locked??? This is DEVELOPMENT section not Q&A/General!!!!"

I am not trying to be a prick, but XDA is a lot more accessible and easier to navigate when things stay organized.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
I agree to an extent because it involves development, however the consensus for posting in the Dev section amongst many members is that you are making a contribution. I.E. a Rom or something to download I suppose.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueHarford:
even with there .36 kernel its not safe to overclock to 1.96ghz. that could be set in any kernel now, but you would probably fry your phone.

all evos have the same processors just diffident video stuff.

and unless you want to use sense you would have to port it to work with AOSP, so by the time your done with everything, you might as well stick with the great kernels that work well with 004 and below.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmx:
