[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Calm down. There's only two things you need to have on your phone to manually install an app:

1. PackageInstaller.apk or something similar (Unless removed, should already be on your phone)

2. A file browser such as MyFiles, Adao, Root Explorer, or Astro

Now tell me what you're using to open this file on your phone, and did you allow "Unknown Sources" in settings under Applications?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svcbadass:
I have astro and andro zip and rommanager.have tried to use all 3 but they all say its a .zip instead of a .apk.

Hi, is it safe to flash from stock 2.1 straight to the latest 2.3.4 CyanogenMod 7 SwiftDroid (v2.0 M4) Mur4ik?

Thanks
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] franekmat:
How?

If you want to flash to CM7, you must first flash to 2.1 with fastboot. Then you can flash to 2.3 by fastboot ;)

Wystukane z mojego Swifta przy użyciu Tapatalk
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] R4fo:
Yes fastboot.

So no need to flash 2.2 first.

Thanks.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ChriisM:
Well you need to flash a 2.1 with fastboot first, then a 2.3 or 2.2.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] R4fo:
Flashed 2.1 fastboot and then 2.3 works fine.

Thanks!!

Just started using a mugen power extended battery and am getting a lot more use out of the handset, haven't cycled it the recommended 5 times either, so expecting a little more juice as time goes on!Recommended!
[7 Mozart Accessories] cyb0tr0n:
Hi judd5000

Good to hear !

I have ordered the 1800 mAh battery from Mugen, hope it will arrive soon.

As soon as I get it performing properly after the correct cycles, I will post my feedback along with phone settings used.

[7 Mozart Accessories] Bad Tiger:
i hope this battery would fix the problem of original battery
[7 Mozart Accessories] monkeybutler1:
I got mine yesterday - even the residual power in it got me through a whole night with GPS on and two email accounts checking once an hour. So far today after first full charge the battery has dropped a little since this morning but is still at about 80% and has been so for at least 2 hours. This is with light to medium use, though I did go out for an hour or so and had to switch from wi-fi to 3G, and I live in a terrible signal area that kills batteries, so so far I'm impressed. If it improves even more with a few more conditioning cycles I think 2 days will be within reach.

Also, and why this would be I have no idea, I seem to have a slightly better signal reception too. This is probably coincidence though, so don't take too much notice of it!
[7 Mozart Accessories] mb76:
Is this the same size as the original battery or is it bigger? If so do you need a new back cover?
[7 Mozart Accessories] nok_fusion:
exactly the same size :)
[7 Mozart Accessories] monkeybutler1:
Got just over 30 hours from mine today with light to moderate use, mainly on WiFi but in a bad signal area. And that's just the first charge/discharge cycle so there's more to come. Impressed!
[7 Mozart Accessories] monkeybutler1:
OK, final verdict - the Mugen 1800 mAh battery is much better than the 1300 mAh stock battery and well worth the investment. Once properly conditioned, 24 hours with moderate to heavy use was easily done (GPS on, 2 email accounts on hourly check, an hour or so of newsgroup reading, 1/2 an hour of gaming, an hour or so of web browsing, 1/2 an hour or so on the marketplace, a fair bit of texting and a 20-min phone call in a bad signal area). With fairly light use (email accounts on manual, a few texts, just the occasional 5-min check of Twitter/Facebook and brief web browsing), I've managed over 40 hours and I suspect 2 days is well within possible - I tend to leave GPS on out of habit and have brightness on auto. Knock the GPS off and have brightness on low and that'd save a bit more again.

Obviously having a smartphone you don't use a lot of the functions of isn't ideal, but if you go away for a long weekend and forget your charger, it's good to know you can make it through (if you have the right battery!).
[7 Mozart Accessories] trixnix:
just ordered one.
[7 Mozart Accessories] the_Enlightened:
How much is it?
[7 Mozart Accessories] the_Enlightened:
I bought a 2430mah Battery and han have everything turned on all day. Heavy usage equals 15-20 hours of Battery life. Will update name... I paid 22gbp british currency. http://www.ebay.com/itm/13054206017...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2154wt_1113
[7 Mozart Accessories] metalgearslug:
where can I get one of these from in the uk do you know?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/13054206017...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2154wt_1113

I should mention that charging time is long... I recon at least 2 hrs for from 0% to 100%.
[7 Mozart Accessories] i9o:
Is there a way to get a performance comparison between the Mugen battery and this GOLD 2430MAH Japanese one? Thanks
[7 Mozart Accessories] Aphasaic2002:
2430mah? so almost DOUBLE the capacity of the original battery, but the same size?!

That's actually physically impossible. If you're lucky this fake "Gold" battery is 1600-1800mah.
[7 Mozart Accessories] the_Enlightened:
50% better than original...

​

My 2430mAh is no match for a two day mugen, but still quite a bit better than the original. In my case appx 50%.
[7 Mozart Accessories] the_Enlightened:
you're probably right

guess you're right, but now I have a Battery that laste a full day.
[7 Mozart Accessories] nok_fusion:
with the mugen i can do 1.5 or 2 fully days :p
[7 Mozart Accessories] i9o:
I am afraid all these batteries are produced in Asia, Mugen included. If we assume the Japanese one is truly Japanese, perhaps this latter is better, but I doubt it, due to its unrealistic capacity.

Given the obvious environmental concerns related to the manufacture of batteries in China, I certainly prefer to wait until some good alternative is provided by a German company (usually very efficient in these jobs). ATM there's nothing convincing on ebay and amazon.

If you are in Europe this involves in addition having batteries shipped within the EC and no extra customs' costs!
[7 Mozart Accessories] nok_fusion:
Just take some research,u will find That mugen is the biggest manufacturer of battery

& every stock battery is from china because all the company build them there for Save money

so if u wait for an european battery well good luck ^^

Just keep in Mind to not buy a batterry on eBay,it can be dangerous
[7 Mozart Accessories] the_Enlightened:
So the morale is to not buy any batteries then:)
[7 Mozart Accessories] PsyCLown89:
So I got my Mugen Battery on Wednesday, its now on its 2nd full charge/discharge state and it is SOOO much better than the original battery.

Well worth the money.
[7 Mozart Accessories] MySelf_v1:
Can anyone tell us how does it least from 100% to 0% with Min. Med. and Max. use?

@The one with the japanese battery ... do you have a tester at home?

Would it make at least 1 day with intense use (3G, Push & Music on) ?
[7 Mozart Accessories] Aphasaic2002:
Got mine 2 days ago.

1 cycle didn't seem much better than stock. Last night was 2nd full power cycle; hopefully it gets better soon.

I'm a fairly heavy user btw, mostly using my HTC Mozart to listen to streaming music using Tunein Radio, while also surfing the web. Also have email accounts set to update every 15mins. Will report back in a week.
[7 Mozart Accessories] Jadro21:
Why do you think so? I bought my Mugen at official dealer of HTC phones :) And I am really satisfied ;) One day of hard use is no problem. Normal use 2 days.
[7 Mozart Accessories] the_Enlightened:
I was being smart with some expert saying you should not get any alte batteries:) I will buy a Mugen.
[7 Mozart Accessories] i9o:
fully cycle the battery

It is imperative to fully cycle the battery at least 5 times as suggested by the instructions. The battery needs to be plugged for 10 hours or so.

I got that extra juice people are happy about only after the 4th full charge. (During these first days I did not even plug it to Zune, to avoid the USB charge)

Keep that in mind guys!
[7 Mozart Accessories] Ps|cHo:
My friend has bought a gold battery, but it seems it is not so good as he thought...
[7 Mozart Accessories] hsclater:
I had the Mugen battery. It says on the website it lasts 38% longer, and I think that is about right. It is definitely better - when it pops up saying the battery is critical it goes on for another couple of hours. With my stock battery it dies about 10 mins later.

However - my Mugen just died. I was using my phone and it suddenly went off without warning. The battery is totally dead. I am going to try a gold battery, at least they are cheap and I wont mind so much when it dies.
[7 Mozart Accessories] witwhew:
So mugen is really from china ( correct me if im wrong )? And how did you order this? From ebay? As from my stock battery it last a day for a normal use.
[7 Mozart Accessories] ludeunlimited:
I had the gold one and it was no better than the OEM battery, and started to get worse alot quicker, so do not buy that one.

After it was useless i bought a OEM htc incredible S battery, after I tried my girlfriends battery from hers incredible S, its only 1450mAh, but its much better than the gold one and mozart OEM battery. same size so fits perfect.

And with a OEM htc battery I'm not afraid for the battery to blow up or suddenly just die.

Haven't tried mugen, but I think htc incredible S battery is a good alternative.
[7 Mozart Accessories] johnyd89:
Happy with my mugen battery, was cheap and gives me a few extra hours over the stock, and since I keep both charged and with me I have no fear of running short of power :)

Hello!

Sorry for my poor english!

[7 Mozart Accessories] i9o:
Using Mugen for over a year - conclusions

After the huge improvement of the first few months, the extended hours yield of this battery decreases. I have had it for a bit over a year now.

Given this relatively short time, I'd say it gets worn faster than a normal battery. It's running time is still higher than the stock battery though.

NOTE: I use all my batteries very carefully. I recharge them on a cold surface to avoid overheating (tiled floor). I try always using them in the 20-80% range, so to avoid stressing them. I never recharge them for any shorter time than 30 minutes. And never ever go below the 5% minimum.

I suggest to give it a rest of 2 weeks or longer every few months' use, going back using the stock battery only - leaving the Mugen with a 20% recharge. This should extend its total life.
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
Like all Xoom owners across the world, I’m looking forward to the 3.1 Honeycomb update, and while I’m happy that some of our American cousins are enjoying their newly enhanced Xoom. I’m very disappointed at Google/Motorola’s plan (or lack of) to update Xoom outside of the US.

From different stories I read, Google/Motorola will update non-Verizon Xoom in “several weeks”. This sound to me like Google/Motorola don’t care about the rest of us, and will get to it when they have time, so we could be waiting MONTHS for the same update.

The fact Google/Motorola did not give any concrete timetable for non-Verizon Xoom update makes me fear the worst.

It’s funny to me that Google can make pledge to keep new android devices from multiple manufactures updated for 18 months. Yet they can't even manage to roll out a simple update for one device from a single manufacture they worked closely with.

Love or hate Apple, at least they can roll out IOS update across multiple devices at the sometime. Maybe their devices really are magical. :rolleyes:

I hope I’m wrong and all Xoom will receive the update in the next couple of weeks.

P.S. this incompetence can only be blamed on Google/Motorola as Xoom sold in UK have stock firmware came directly from Motorola, so there isn’t the mobile carrier delay get device updated.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I wonder when people will stop complaining about update schedules. I mean transparency is nice, but it also has the ability to affect stock prices of publicly traded companies.

They can't tell us as much as you would like them too. Pretty simple.

I can honestly assure you that you will get the update eventually, probably a lot sooner than you think.

No need to sound alarms that your device isn't being supported.
[Xoom General] Handshake87:
You do realize several weeks means at most 4-6 weeks.... this is because the current 3.1 update is phase updating so it might mean every 3g Xoom might not have the update until "several weeks" from now.... Also your claim of Apple releasing iOS to multiple devices in 1 day is irrelevant. Apple manufactures all their products which is limited to at most 4 phones.... Google does not...

Basically there is nothing you can do and the rant is in all honesty kind of pointless and selfish....
[Xoom General] duraeas:
I'm not worried about the update, but it would be nice as a Canadian to actually be able to use some of Google services. I bought my Xoom on the premise that I'd be able to at least view the public domain books, only to learn that the tablet app wont function at all.

I'll take the blame on that one, but the fact is it's really difficult to get excited about these new features when their existing services have yet to move out of the US region. Apple was able to release iBooks in Canada shortly after the US launch. Likewise, they were able to get videos on iTunes at roughly the same time as the US. It's clearly possible.

Hopefully content providers will start cooperating with Google. I don't see how they think they have any other choice - and they wonder why people in Canada pirate more media than anywhere else in the world.
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
I know it’s has only been one day, but is it too much to ask for simple acknowledgment on when the update will come apart from the vague term of several weeks? As a consumer I don’t care about Google/Motorola stock prices.

The Apple comparison is not irrelevant, Google and Android manufactures already have bad reputation for either not updating their devices (Sony) or update them VERY slowly (Samsung, Dell). Any major delay getting all first Honeycomb tablet updated will only put more people off choosing Honeycomb and buying ipad.

I’m currently enjoying using my Xoom and do not consider it’s worthless, I wish to have an idea on when I can start enjoy the new enhancements.

I’m only look for similar treatment from Google/Motorola on a device I paid for. If you guys consider asking for equality is whining then so be it.
[Xoom General] ruinah:
one day but the anouncement said "will start rolling today." You'd think they could get a few of these updated in 24 hours. Since they said "today" it should have been rolling as soon as they anounced it.
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
Trolling responses deleted. Let's keep this thread free from the immaturity I've grown to know and love in this sub-forum.

Seriously, though. While this was not voiced the best way possible and this is far too early to complain, this is a somewhat valid concern. More trolling and I will close the thread and issue infractions.

PS. Incredibly flame-worthy trollbait of a title changed to something more accurately reflecting the OP's message.
[Xoom General] despich:
All the *****ing about when people are going to get my update reminds me of the saying.. "the foods terrible and the portions are too small"

Frankly if google were to try to release 3.1 to all xoom users (domestic/out of the us, 3G and Wi-Fi) at the exact same time I guarantee it would mean that some people's 3.1 updates would get delayed even more until the update was ready for everyone.

Yes it would be great if they did updates like Apple but google has much more hardware variety to deal with and more carriers to deal with. Let alone carriers that want to mess with the OS so it's not "stock" anymore. so obviously it's not as easy for them.

People sound like my 3 year old that cries that he can't have a toy. The same toy he didn't even know about 2 minutes earlier. He is perfectly content until he realizes there is something he doesn't have.

[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Im more concerned without when we will get stock images for european 3g, right now, even if we get an update in the next few weeks, those of us that have modded cannot ota update cause we can't flash back to stock.

Failing that, im happy to get a stock image for 3.1, but getting information out of Motorola, if you are non-us is like trying to get blood from a stone.

Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire.
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
I’d like to apologise for the old thread title, it was meant in jest, and not inflammatory.

I’m not too concerned about when the update is coming. Only that I wish Google/Motorola given us a rough timeline on update for different regions, I’d have been content with a single slideshow on this matter.

Let us look at the bigger picture:

Unlike the smartphone market, Android is playing catch up to Apple in the tablet market, The Xoom is very important to Google as they need to use this 1st true Android tablet to capture people’s attentions and produce a good user experience similar to the ipad.

This update is even more important in this regard, as it include fixes for long lists of bugs for 3.01. Which is not the most stable OS to start with especially compared to IOS.

Therefore, to have Xoom outside the US running on older and buggier software for any length of time more than necessary will only produce more negative user experiences that spread by press reviews and words of mouth.
[Galaxy S II General] AaronUK:
I thought that the SGSII could film in stereo given that it has two mics. The video I've shot are all in mono. Any ideas? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] fenomeno83:
it records to mono..but this isn't real problem..

problem is that records fuc..ng 16khz sampling rate!!!!

I hope that some software or coocked rom enabled 44100hz sampling rate recording
[Galaxy S II General] TechNoir:
If the resulting files are mono, my guess is that if you filmed in HD, the phone should not be limiting the quality in some way. So either the 2nd mic is used for noise filtering in the video in some form, or it's just not used in the same way as the main mic and cannot be used for video recording.
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:

you didnt wrote wheter you use stock hboot or cm7 ROM version.

what you see on the video is the fastest CM7 version of this rom (which requires S-OFF) and probably an overclocked CPU.

also whoever did that video could have a fast sd card - class 6 or smth and that improves things, but just a lil bit since its CM7 version.

but the biggest speed boost comes from running a custom hboot (CM7)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blindsight51:
Will the i9020A version of the Nexus S (which is I think the model sold by Koodo Mobile in Canada) get 3G connection on the AWS spectrum used by Mobilicity? (I believe this should be the same as TMobile)?

Also, is there such a thing as a carrier locked Nexus S? I want to buy the Koodo Mobile Nexus S for $425 off contract (cheapest I can find), but I want to use it on the Mobilicity network. Will I need to carrier unlock the device somehow? I can't seem to find any "unlock Nexus S" sources, so I assume this is unnecessary?

The more I look into this issue, the more confused I get. A lot of places say the Nexus S is quad-band GSM + AWS, so doesn't that mean I should be able to get 3G from anywhere? The FAQ on this forum states that the original Nexus S can only get 3G speeds on TMobile's AWS band--conversely, does that then mean that the new "AT&T" Nexus S phones can't get 3G speeds on AWS? i.e. Do I need to buy a phone from an AWS carrier to get 3G?

:confused:
