[HTC Inspire 4G] PeartFan40:
After being with T-Mobile for 10 years, I finally had enough with their less-than-stellar data speeds and spotty coverage, and decided to switch over to AT&T (I know, they now own T-Mobile). Being a fan of HTC's build quality, choosing the Inspire 4g was a no brainer. After a few days of normal to moderate usage, I was left scratching my as to why they went with a 1250mAh battery on a 4g phone, touting a huge 4.3" screen. It didn't take long to realize the battery was under powered for such a large, powerful device. With normal to moderate usage, I was averaging 4 to 5 hours of battery life.

I power cycled the battery several times, hoping this would improve, but it did not. It's little brother, the HD2 also had an underpowered 1350mAh battery, which also yielded sub-par performance, with an average battery life of just 5 to 6 hours under normal to moderate usage. It's a real shame, because the build quality on these devices is fantastic. With a sleek design, aluminum bodies, and thick glass panels, the phone has a good balance, and feels great in the hand. Why they would use such an under powered battery is beyond me.

The other problem I noticed with the Inspire 4g is the off center placement of the glass panel. There is a slight gap in the upper right hand corner, that allows for dust and debris to appear behind the glass, which I find very frustrating. I thought perhaps I got a lemon, so I brought it to AT&T to exchange it for another one. The replacement also had an off centered glass panel, and had dust and debris behind the glass, fresh out of the box! Needless to say, I changed devices and went with the Motorola Atrix instead.

If HTC would invest in a larger, more powerful battery, and focus more attention on quality control, I'd be a lifetime fan. Aside from the plastic, rather cheap feel of the Atrix, I'm very satisfied with it's performance and battery life. It's a reasonable trade off, in my opinion. I'm hoping HTC listens to the feedback concerning the poor battery life and starts using adequate batteries in their higher end devices. When that happens, I will gladly switch back to an Android powered HTC device.

I am running stock ROM with the 1300mAh battery by Seidio and my standby time is better than it was on my Captivate running stock froyo.

When I'm at work, my phone is usually just sitting on my desk in idle mode (Gmail sync on only, wifi off, gps on (never really turn this off anyway). With the Captivate, at the end of the day, the phone would be at 75%.

With the Inspire, I am usually between 85-90% (this is from 7AM to 5PM)

I found my battery life to be better after doing a few power cycles and then a factory reset..

For the time being, I am keeping stock ROM - Simply because I don't have the time right now to root/flash etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
With a decent kernel, the battery life is pretty vastly improved. Mine lasts 24 hours, with around 5 hours screen on time. No off center glass either. Both my lagtrix's were returned cause their just horrible. Inspire is faster stock, let alone with a rom/kernel. After some modding the inspire blows the atrix doors off pretty shamefully. The atrix will never be faster than it is now besides what MOTO does, and don't expect that to be much.(no chance for an optimized kernel, ever). If the inspire had even 1/4 the battery life it does now, id still choose it over the atrix(the phone can't even handle a live wallpaper without lagging, signed bootloader, no neon support, blur is garbage, pentile matrix screen sucks, etc)

Did you make your battery assessments with the inspire stock? Cause it gets much better battery, plus faster after some kernel work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chongwj:
I don't think the problem is HTC... It's ATT. They want to gain market on Android phones. Did you realize that Inspire 4g its quite cheap compare with other smartphones? They want a powerful phone but with some drawbacks. I bet DHD has better battery life compare with inspire. just my 2cents
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Yeah have fun with a garbage phone. You wont be able to flash any roms or kernels org anything. Have fun waiting on a update buddy's with that poor excuse of a ui. That bootloader wont be unlocked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Good Luck with that locked down Atrix... I don't get why you are here. You don't own an Inspire....I don't think ppl care that you didn't like it?? :confused:

The Atrix forum is >>>>>>>>Thata way: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=994 I know its kind of a ghost town.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PeartFan40:
You don't why I'm here? I've been a member since 2005 or so. If you re-read my post, you will see that I did own the Inspire. I love that phone but hate the battery life. I've owned just about every phone on the market and really like rooting and hacking. I'm really considering returning the Atrix for the Inspire again and just getti.g an extended battery. People on here are makiing a lkt of good points about the Atrix. For a dual core phone, it's not that fast at all. I hate that I can't unlock the bootloader and mess with it. I am def bringing the Atrix back for an Inspire. Screw this locked down BS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] churro7:
so far battery life is better than my epic
[HTC Inspire 4G] lockheedload:
Stock my battery life was better than my captivate. Àfter flashing a new kernel and using setcpu, my battery life is absolutely stellar. Loltrix.. Lolololllll

[HTC Inspire 4G] kofrad:
Go for the Inspire. Trust us. You won't regret it once you get things going good.

I found myself extremely frustrated with the battery, moreso when I was running stock. I began to accept that my phone might always need to be near a power source incase I start to run low. Since then I've rooted, tried different roms, radios, kernels, etc. Right now I'm actually *hoping* it dies soon. I'm in the middle of re-calibrating the battery (essential for long lasting charges) and I'd like the phone to die tonight so I can charge it for work tomorrow :p

So far on this charge I have gotten 35 hours, and I'm down to 17%. JuiceDefender estimates about 6 hours of battery. I could probably kill it in an hour or so with GPS, but that is any smartphone. If I don't touch my phone, it would probably last until morning. I tend to only draw about 1% an hour in standby. Once the battery dies, I can recharge it to complete re-calibrating things and go back to charging when I please with much improved battery life.

My current setup is as shown in my signature. It does take a little knowledge and tweaking to get everything set to your liking, but part of the reason I got an android phone is so I could do just that. Coming from the iPhone 3G, totally unable to root or anything, I find this a massive improvement on things. Everything I've learned about this phone was here on XDA forums over a few weeks.

Give it some time and put your mind to learning how to make the phone work better and you will most certainly impressed. Personally I feel I couldn't have made a better choice for an AT&T phone. The only downside is that I used my upgrade to get the phone at $99 then saw it at best buy a few weeks later for $29. :eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] PeartFan40:
I thought about it anx decided to return the Atrix and get the Inspire again. I called the store near my house and they are willing to exchange it. I'll have to pay tge$ 35 restocking fee, and I'm fine with that because they are also swappi.g out my cases and screen protectors too. Not a bad deal in my opinion. Thanks to everyone for your input, you helped me make my decision.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I had no Idea you were swayable.. Yer post seemed like some odd complaint for flame bait.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Divinedark:
I would really look at rooting and romming your phone. I am currently experiencing MUCH better battery life on my Inspire than I was with my Atrix. I'm using LeeDroid's newest and SetCPU on the "Smartass" governer. My average battery life is ~38-48 hours with light to moderate use. I've been charging it every other night...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jman985:
I just recently switched from the iphone 4 wanting something different.... well i picked up the htc inspire and man was i blown away but with only light use by lunch time i had less then %50 battery and that wasent gonna fly! It got to the point that i was considering bringing it back, i looked up battery issues and ALOT of people were saying to download "juice defender" from the market so i did and now, with the settings on "balanced" after 15 plus hrs of moderate use i have %35 battery.... im overly excited, hope this helps.

[HTC Incredible S] lalexl:
Hi,

I've search in the forum for a topic talking about this and I didn't see anything so excuse me if i double post.

Second excuse I'm french .. excuse my poor english.

Real topic now :

I would like to know if there would be a big differences between all the class of the sd card (class 4 to 12 i think) If yes, wich one do you suggest not to pay 100$ and have a good data transfer rates.
[HTC Incredible S] TiM3SH1FT:
Here is a good article about SD card class ratings on wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating

Ou en français si tu préfère: ;)

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carte_SD#D.C3.A9bit

I'm not sure if the class would make a real difference in a smartphone... In a DSLR camera sure but in a phone, not so much!

But obviously it greatly affects the time it takes to write data on the card itself (Class 4: 4MB/s Class 10: 10MB/s).

I am myself looking to buy a 32gb card and my choices are either Kingston or Patriot.

Kingston sells their class 4 card around 75$ CAN

http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=57109&vpn=SDC4/32GB&manufacture=Kingston

Patriot sells their class 10 card around 100$ CAN

http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX32239(ME).aspx

For the price difference, I think I would go with Patriot :D
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Lexar also do a 32FBI class 10 for a reasonable price in the UK (£70) which is the one I am planning to get (i filled up 8GB in no time with music ;))

Does this bench come from your phone or computer ?
[HTC Incredible S] acdaazn:
i do remember once reading an article about a higher read/write speed means also a higher random access lag, which is bad if you are looking to run apps off of your mSD
[HTC Incredible S] c33v33:
I was having problems with a Patriot 16GB class 10 microsd in my Incredible S. Video recording would shut down after a couple seconds. Weird stuttering in the OS.

Patriot acknowledged a problem with their 32gb class 10 in Android and Windows 7 phones. Might've affected some of their 16gb.

Here's my CrystalDiskMark results for the Patriot:

Sequential Read : 18.072 MB/s

Sequential Write : 12.572 MB/s

Random Read 512KB : 18.107 MB/s

Random Write 512KB : 0.702 MB/s

Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 3.730 MB/s [ 910.6 IOPS]

Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.006 MB/s [ 1.4 IOPS]

Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 4.010 MB/s [ 978.9 IOPS]

Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.007 MB/s [ 1.6 IOPS]

I switched to a Sandisk 32gb Class 2. No problems.

Here's my CrystalDiskMark results for the Sandisk:

Sequential Read : 14.121 MB/s

Sequential Write : 5.964 MB/s

Random Read 512KB : 13.305 MB/s

Random Write 512KB : 5.582 MB/s

Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 1.097 MB/s [ 267.7 IOPS]

Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.484 MB/s [ 118.2 IOPS]

Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 0.873 MB/s [ 213.1 IOPS]

Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.161 MB/s [ 39.3 IOPS]

Based on other people's results, higher classes have really poor Random Write 4KB speeds. Not sure if that matters in Android.

I'd recommend getting a lower class Sandisk. Lower class Sandisk usually perform at a higher sequential write speed than their stated class, and still have good random write speed.
[HTC Incredible S] yazidkhan:
1) class 12 will not support for mobile phones

2) class 10 had made some devices to go weird

3) class 6 would b the best choice to select for its value for money and performance

4) i will not recommend u to buy a class 4 :P

5) there will not be any huge difference in read/ write speed whn compared between class 6 nd class 10

Just got my new card :D

Lexar 32GB microSDHC class10

Initial benchmarks show it is much quicker than all the other microSD's I have in larger writes, but is actually slower than a class 4 in the very small writes, so it remains to be seen if it speeds up day to day useage. Capacity is as advertised and comes with a nice compact USB adapter, overall, very pleased as I can now fit all of my music on it :D

Will post some proper benchmarks later

When you say "paired" are you talking about a Bluetooth file transfer? If so try a program from the market called Bluetooth File transfer. That works between my 2 Epics.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milkman00:
So does this mean that the built in BT program won't work either??? I tried BT file transfer, but didn't have luck with that the first time.

Hello everybody,

I`m new to the rooting part of android phones and i have searched a lot about the risks of rooting. One problem i couldn`t solve is the warranty voiding problem. If you root your phone warranty will void, right? Well if i root my phone and something breaks, is there maybe a way i can make it look like the phone was never rooted and get my warranty back?

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
I think you just have to unroot it.
[Galaxy 3 General] haree:
hi

or u can just re flash the original rom again via Odin

download the original rom from samfirmware and re flash it if u want to give ur phone for warranty purposes or read the roll up thread in the development section i have given a few rooting thread links their is also info on how to un root in one of the threads :D

[LG Optimus 2x] Mafs:
Hey guys, I was wondering if the sound can be tweaked to go just a little higher. I find the sound coming from the 2X good, but it's too low in volume.

As for example, the Samsung Galaxy S has a much higher volume. Mine is hardly hearable when playing next to the Galaxy S.
[LG Optimus 2x] akira de aimbuster:
I'm agree with this, the volume is realy too low.
[LG Optimus 2x] Tookiejar:
Im using a app called volume boost. It only cost about 2 $ in market. The sound in my headset becomes alot higher
[LG Optimus 2x] Mafs:
Heard about it, but when I'm using my headphones the sound is pretty good. The thing I'm looking for is the volume for the speakers.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
If it's for a louder incoming ring volume. Either choose a louder ringtone or boost an existing ringtone file by a couple of decibels with a sound editor program, like Audacity on the PC. I think up to +5db should be OK before distortion sets in.

Looking to get myself a 32gb card.

Just wondering if the play uses SD or SDHC memory cards, or ok with either?
[Xperia Play General] theclueless:
it uses microsd and microsdhc

regular sd card wont do
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Yeah, obviously I know it's micro.

Just wasn't sure about the sdhc.

Cheers
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
It's ok with both sd and sdhc but I think it's not compatible with sdxc (if you'd ever like to get to 2TB :p maybe it can come in an update, My htc wizard got sdhc support with an unofficial driver update).
[Xperia Play General] Bitter Crimson:
A 32 gig card will work just fine with the Play.

I heard there's problems with class 10 32 gig micros on android phones. Is this true?
[Xperia Play General] bewrong666:
i'm curious about this, some applications wont work with a class 2 speed sd.

sd or sdhc would do. you should be more worried about the speed. as for now you should think of either getting a class 6 16gb or class 4 32gb (if you could find one).

[Xperia Play General] jlukek89:
I have class 10 32gb, works fine on xperia play.

The only problem android has, is you cant format 32gb cards on your phone. But most, if not all cards come pre-formatted anyway. Otherwise you have to connect the card with an adapter to your pc to format it.

*edit

You can format 32gb cards on your phone, but it wont format properly and you will have issues. I did with my old phone, it couldnt scan the card properly and it would reboot while trying to scan.
[Xperia Play General] bewrong666:
now that's something :)

read most of the reviews: crashes and corrupts the files, some even only last within 24 hours :P i'll stick with the class 4 32gb for now
[Xperia Play General] theclueless:
even with the sandisk 32gb class 2 cards, i already replaced 2 of them when they crapped out on me :mad:
[Xperia Play General] bewrong666:
haven't read anything about this. and the reviews for a kingston 32gb class 4 on the net has been great so far. but if this will be the case i might just go for a 16gb class 6
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Ok, so I got a 32gb card, moved all of my stuff off my 16gb (about 14 gig) to my pc. Took about 20 minutes.

Put my 32 gig in, formatted it & transferred everything over.

Took about 3 hours & when I put it in my play it's saying there's 28 gig left & hardly anything I set to transfer has actually gone to the card ! ?

[Xperia Play General] recce5:
Memory cards are very reliable IF you bought the original ones and not those unbranded fake cards.

I've never had issues with ALL my memory cards, from the SmartMedia, SD, MS stick and Compact Flash cards used in my Palm and Sony Clie PDAs, my DSLR and micro 4/3 digital cameras, PSPs and DSL and all the way to the microSD cards used in my smartphones and tablets. I purchased them all from local reputable shops and never bought any from online stores. Can't remember the exact figures but I probably had a total of 30 to 40 cards here in my house.

The problem I see is those cards that are found on online shops that are unbranded (anything not Sandisk, Kingston, Lexar, Panasonic etc are all semi-fakes). Just imagine that Sandisk the world's largest NAND Flash memory maker has yet to come out with a 32GB Class 10 microSD as of now and you can already find some smaller unknown companies selling them at very cheap prices since many months back?

Sometimes if a deal is too good to be true, IT IS too good to be true! Of course if you still proceed to get them due to their ridiculously cheap prices, the risk is all yours. For me, I just buy the originals at original prices and not regret it later, my data is much more important to me than saving tens of bucks.

For some reason, there are quite a lot of fake Kingston cards on the market so beware.

Various issues with the fake/unbranded cards are:

1. Reliability

2. On a 32GB card, you may actually get only 4 or 8GB storage, some tricks were added in these fake cards such that once you copied beyond the 4 or 8GB capacity, it automatically loops back internally to overwrite the oldest copied data.

3. Some 32GB Class 10 cards only had Class 2 speeds.

Another advice is that for smartphone usage, you may be better off getting Class 2 or 4 cards rather than higher class cards. This is because although the class 6 or 10 cards can have sequential readings and writings at their stated class speeds, in terms of random access of data on the card they may actually be slower than Class 2 and 4 cards. In other words, you'll get more lags using higher Class cards.
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
Here's a test I did with a Patriot LX Series Class 10 32GB Micro SDHC
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
You sir are correct! My Patriot 32gb micro class 10 lags alot:( When playing the FPSE the game lags too much but with the micro sd card that came with the Xperia play runs perfect:p I'm gonna return the card and just get a Sandisk 32gb class 2 from newegg.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Recce5

After doing a test of manually copying content to the card I believe I have fallen foul to buying a cheapo card covered by your point 2.

I've bought quite a few cheapo cards back from my old K750i & PSP days but this is the 1st one I've been stung with.
