Isn't there an official 1800MAH battery made by HTC? THe Evo Shift one? I've tried to find it online, but so far only fakes show up. I remember reading somewhere that it was a perfect fit and gave a pretty good boost in battery life.. 25% to 30% based on usage.

I just got done sanding down the 5 dollar ebay battery and the plastic casing cracked.. wont get a connection and caused the connector to spark a bit.

EDIT: NM it is only 1500. I'm gonna stay away from the ebay batteries.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eunkipark92:
I thought evo shift comes with smaller battery like around 1300mah?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
It's 1500, but I'm still trying to find an official link to buy it.

Here's the one for the Evo 4G. It's back ordered, at the moment. I recall people saying that one fits with some slight modification, though.

How are they
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] swhtownboy:
i haven't noticed a BIG increase, very minor. Maybe after a few more calibrations it will get better. Its diffidently more than that stock battery, and for $12 i can't complain. The charger is cool, you can charge a battery and phone(via usb) at the same time. I carry a spare with me just in case.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bensdale:
Hello all

i am new here ;)

I have also ordered the 1800MAH battery + charger bundle. My question is now can i charge the original Battery with this Charger?

sry for my bad english and thx for your efforts ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] swhtownboy:
Yes. The original battery will charge also
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
No one can read that
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] swhtownboy:

@swhtownboy

Thx for your fast answer.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] swhtownboy:
No problem
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
I'm a little confused about my new battery. Maybe someone can shed some light on it for me. I purchased the 1500mah Evo Shift battery and made sure to setup the battery stats correctly. I installed Battery Calibration from the market to keep an eye on my mV while I began to let it do a full drain from 100% (4202mV)

To my surprise it lasted a good 35 hours at moderate use. What I want to know is why my mV still showed 3538mV at 2% battery life? Is it not supposed to go down all the way?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] lainemac:
That sounds awesome but do they last?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
I decided to do a more scientific comparison between the stock 1300mah battery and the Evo Shift 1500mah I purchased from Sprint.

Both tests were started at 100% battery life with the following settings:

Cleared battery stats on both before unplugging using BatteryCalibration app

Brightness set to 100%

Bluetooth turned on but not paired

GPS on and engaged

Wifi on

Put both in Google Navigation and here are the results:

1300mah HTC

1500mah HTC

So, in my honest opinion, it was not worth the 30 I spent. I am currently testing these fake 1800mah batteries and will post the results once its finished draining.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] crazyC:
I ordered the 1800 Mugen battery from Hong Kong. It turned up today which is quite impressive, less than a week from ordering to delivery (actually, I only ordered it Monday).

I am following their calibration instructions over the next 4 - 5 charges as per the leaflet with the battery, and will then report back.

UPDATE : Only on 2nd charge - so far seems good. Am travelling to a meeting in the Midlands on wednesday - normally am paranoid and charge phone whilst at the other office - will see how it pans out this time without.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Pickx:
I got the 3 Evo Shift batteries and they seem pretty good so far. But does anyone else feel like the charger charges really slowly?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
Yeah I have that same set, and it's not just you. The charger is crap. I'm not even sure if it's worth using.

EDIT: I finally got around to testing out the "claimed" 1800MAH eBay battery. Here are the results with the same exact settings as my previous post on page 4 of this thread. This is the one that comes in a 3 pack with a wall charger. Batterys are a perfect fit, though. No modding needed.

is there a way to lock the screen when on a bluetooth call, I often hangup on people because I hit the end call button to lock the phone out of instinct:eek:

is there something I'm missing is a popup menu???:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wearefree:
Button savior or zMooth (pro only) has the option to turn off the screen using software buttons or swipes. This way you can turn off the screen during a phone call.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] upsmanraz:
Or you can get the lockscreen widget from the market. The one I use is a yellow round one and it works great for me.
[Droid Incredible General] krichmond0306:
I am by no means a cellphone guru or even close. I am a mechanical engineer by schooling. However I just started thinking, in my Inc. I have an accelerometer that puts out a signal (weak) I know but why can't that be harnessed to charge my cell as I walk.?
[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:
The accelerometer probably wouldn't do it - I'm nto quite sure how it works but I wouldn't have thought of that. They could always add some of those thigns they ahve for wristwatches to give it a bit of juice throughout the day. Although maybe that wouldn't even be enough because those watches stop working if you dont wear them for like 2 days haha
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
Highly doubt that the amount they would put out would be even 1% of the energy draw the Dinc uses even in idle.
[Droid Incredible General] V0latyle:
The accelerometer in the Inc isn't a mechanical device - it's basically a digital gyro, and it doesn't generate a signal or voltage in of itself. It's called a MEMS gyroscope and though it uses some of the same principles as a vibrating structure gyroscope, it's constructed via lithograph (read: printed as in CPU) and packaged as a self contained chip.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
I think even if they did place something in the phone to help charge it while moving / walking that there is no way it would actually produce usable energy. Maybe walking 1 mile = 5 seconds of phone-on time.

We need better battery technology.
[Droid Incredible General] pianoplayer:
Or solar panels. I read on Engadget a couple weeks/months ago that phones would come standard with solar panels in late 2012ish. IMHO not gonna happen, but hey only two years ago Android was nowhere.

There is supposed to be a "green" phone coming out. It has a built in solar panel on the battery cover. Spec wise it's definitely not high end.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
hey people !

i wanted to buy an experia neo, but its delayed, wanted a desire s, but its got some issues i dont quite like, and now that i know O2x price will be extremely good at my place, i want this !

only a few questions for the ones that own it already ,if you dont mind answering that is :)

1) is the cammera particualry fast at focusing before shots? (sad its not continous autofocus tho)

2) whats the battery life on this with moderate usage, or YOUR usage ? (just tell how youre using this baby ;) )

3) are the supplied earphones good (enough) ? and is the sound quality good ? i like deeeeeeep bass :P and how is the stereo cross talk with headphones ?

4) are the capacitive buttons not in the way (meaning- do you ever press them unintentionally )? like on desire s.. just too close to the screen.

5) is the back cover in place securely ? doesnt wobble, has gaps, holds on firmly ?

think thats about it :P

thanks for the feedback :D
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
PS is the metal-looking band that surrounds the phone real metal or just plastic with some metalic paint ?
[LG Optimus 2x] nサn_:
1) is the cammera particualry fast at focusing before shots? (sad its not continous autofocus tho)

Opening the camera apps seems to hang sometimes. Photo quality kinda disappointing, because when you zoon in a picture you can see al those ugly pixels... the htc desire HD of my gf has a way better camera. So 8 mp on LG doesn't equal 8 mp HTC

2) whats the battery life on this with moderate usage, or YOUR usage ? (just tell how youre using this baby ;) )

I probably use it too much. So i leave home at 11 with 100% battery and i come home at 9 with 0%... yeah its not a typo i think battery life sucks... but oh well :)

3) are the supplied earphones good (enough) ? and is the sound quality good ? i like deeeeeeep bass :P and how is the stereo cross talk with headphones ?

Supplied earphones aren't worth unpacking, i use them as earplugs when i need silence ^^ they are bogus, but at least they're inear.

4) are the capacitive buttons not in the way (meaning- do you ever press them unintentionally )? like on desire s.. just too close to the screen.

Depends... but fine for me. I do sometimes press them accidentaly, but who doesn't

5) is the back cover in place securely ? doesnt wobble, has gaps, holds on firmly ?

I hear some squicking tho.. the heat of the phone (max at 43-50 degrees) must have molten or disfigured something because since ive only noticed it recently, hmmm

Btw i do not regret getting this phone, you get what you've paid for.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
wow you make me have second thoughts about this :X

well thank you for the reply :)

btw, is the loudspeaker.. acceptable ?
[LG Optimus 2x] nサn_:
Yeah loudspeaker is fine, the max sound is too low for me tho...think thats software related. But dont forget the optimus 2x is a powerhouse
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
well.. sad, but on the other hand all of my other phones are pretty much permanantely on silent mode :D

and no dude its not software related :) pure hardware issue, do you have any shutdowns or battery drain like people talk here ?

Is there any way to stop the capacitve buttons backlight turning out so quickly?

Seems a bit ridiculous that this isn't tied in to the light sensor - it's nigh on impossible to see those buttons in the dark. Why wouldn't they have set them to have a much longer time out when the light sensor is reporting it's dark and you're interacting with the device?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacal26:
I really need help or direction to where I can get help please. I have been trying root my phone. I followed the guide on here for the Windows method and the Linux method when that was unsuccessful. The phone seems to have been rooted as I have the superuser permissions app (the ninja) and titanium backup worked once I went to the problems section and added busybox. Various other root only apps work. The app root check says I'm rooted but that I don't have busybox installed even though titanium backup says I have it.

My problem is unrevoked will not flash clockworkmod recovery. It says is firmware too new. I am on Telstra branded desire gsm on 2.1 exactly as I got it. Hboot is .75 software version 1.16 I did a factory reset and unrevoked said failed to flash recovery the first time then the next few times the usual is the firmware too new. I tried flashing the recovery using ROM manager but even that doesn’t work. I don’t know what else to do. Any advice????

I have not tried the manual method of installing clockworkmod the way it is explained on the cyanogenmod guide as I don't understand it.

I just don't what else to do. Please help me. Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi maniacal26,

it's always better asking before than after having bricked the phone. :)

so now you are root, i think this is still stock rom. So it's normal that U are not busybox installed into the phone (titanium uses his own titanium... just stick fix the problem into the app titanium to get ONLT to allow titanium working fine)

You can install busybox by the market busybox

about root => get the app root checker it will tells you if U are well rooted

don't use rom manager as it a waste of time... i would advice you to use the recovery amon_RA v2.0.1 work great even to partition your sd card.

first of all you mus be sure that is a unbranded phone or branded phone

branded phone need a goldcard (look into the forum there s a lot of thread about it)

if unbranded u can use unrevoked 3.21 and select in the menu bar a presonnalized recovery which has been previuosly downloaded to your computer.

follow this TUT for branded phone as it seems you ve got one (telsra)

be caution and ask before if any doubt... ask question to this community.

there plainty members who knows a lot of stuff about android.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacal26:
I have downloaded root check and it confirms I am rooted.

Busybox will not install using that app it says my nand is locked.

Titanium backup works and has installed its own busybox 1.16 even though the busybox app says there is no busybox installed and that it can't install one.

Where can I find unrevoked 3.21 I can only find 3.32 ?

I will make a goldcard now and try again.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmax007:

Then may be your phone is PVT4 ...

Try using Amon RA Recovery

Also search unrevoked on xda, its very easy to use, and if your phone is pvt4, you'll also have to use AlphaRev for S-OFF ....

I bought the phone brand new from Telstra in Australia and never did any of their updates it is stock.

I have tried the unrevoked method that is what has given me superuser permissions it just won't flash a recovery. I have been told to use 3.21 version but I can only find 3.32 so I can't go any further with that st this point. I made unrevoked flash the anon-ra recovery but it just keeps saying is fails to flash is it firmware too new. It can't be too knew as its what the phone shipped with when I bought it in June last year.

Thank you for it suggestions. I do not have pvt4 the bootloader does not say that.

Thank-you again. I will try what u suggested and report back.

hi maniacal26,

about the new... quite annoying since my phone bought from jan2011 is pvt4

i use unrevoked 3.21 you can donwload it by clik the name from my dropbox

the following link is amon_ra v2.0.1

from now, i use unrevoked to root and instal a recovery (wich would be cmd 2.5.3 (you can select file and choose another recovery like amon ra)

as my desire is unbranded I've never used a goldcard. so I could say more that is saying in the xda's tutorial.

from my own, i used unrevoked to root and instal a recovery - made a nand backup follow up by the alpharev 1.8 s-off.

once done i used fasboot methode to flash the recovery

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\amon_rav2.0.1

i bcp up all sd card on computer followd by partionning sd card with fat32 + ext3

from there i choose a custom rom (from my own - leedroid - which is the more stable and complete) that's all

since every thing work fine

(i advice to run alpharev on usb bootloader)

hope this would help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
I'll put a shot in the dark here.

Download the CM7 for the phone.

If you're running ROM manager, Flash to the newest clockwork recovery first.

Boot into loader,

Wipe all data and cache memories, including Devalc

Then flash
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacal26:
Thank-you to everyone who tried to help me. I gave up for while and tried again. I installed amon-ra I just could not get clockworkmod to install to the phone kept saying I had too new firmware. When I tried to restore back using the original firmware off the HTC website it also said my firmware was too new and that I had to use one of the newer roms they had to offer.

I used unrevoked but chose amon-ra as alternative recovery. Worked instantly. Everything has gone smoothly since then. I am running cm7 with recommended radio. I just need to s-off to get more internal memory available.

If anyone has problems like this just amon-ra, it even worked using win 7 64-bit whereas the other way it wouldn't even work using ubunto.

As a side note I have noticed a massive slow down (compared to the fresh cm7 install speed) on the phone once there is too many apps installed. It seems to be more about number rather than size. Regardless of how many, if any at all, apps have been moved to the SD card. I found there was a Tom that said it fixed this but I'm just gonna stick with cm7 anyway. Ill just run less apps and for an update.

Also been running phone on 1113Mhz now and its not a problem in my use with overheating in case anyone was a little afraid to test out.

Thanks to everyone again and I hope this post can assist someone else who is ready to break the phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Tompaine:
Hi everyone,

I know this will make me sound like a complete noob but it doesnt matter. Any help or any pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have a stock motorola milestone 2.2.1. I hate it and have read how stable some of the roms are and I would love to experiment with them. However, never having a windows phone or an HTC before I have no idea how to do this with minimizing the risk.

So I have rooted my phone with universalandroot and have installed rom manager and titanium backup. Unfortunately, I read that rom manager wont work with the Milestone.

All of the threads on boot recovery and other methods seem to differentiate from one another. Is there a safeR method. I know no method is safe. What programs do I need to install on my computer and or my phone for this to work?

I know this a lot and I truly appreciate any help and support from this forum.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
First of all, ROM Manager does not work with the milestone. So please remove it and dont ever install Clockworkmod recovery on the milestone.

Second, What ROM do you want to install?

You need Androidiani Openrecovery for all your flashing needs of customs ROMS. You will need rsdlite to flash sbf files and offcourse the Moto usb drivers. Check the sticky threads in the development section. There are many tutorials.
