Considering how the TB uses the battery cover as an extended antenna, I think I'm going to stick with the OEM extended battery and battery cover this time.

hahahha omg nice catch 1500.... haha

I stopped using my extended battery. It's too damn bulky. I was actually surprised by how good the stock battery is.

I don't get it. The OEM batteries are so small and thin. I just keep an extra one in my second pocket at all times.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ericatomars23:
That looks so stupid but I might have to invest in one because the terrible battery life on this phone makes me insane. Im even tempted to go back to my droid.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] smashtheguitar:
No doubt it's just a placeholder, since they didn't have a real image at the time. Not that anyone really believes it'll be 3200 anyway...

How can their possibly still be people out there who believe Seidio's claims about their batteries?

Its now shipping, $70 :eek:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] lippstuh:
I HAVE NO EFFING CLUE. People don't read or they just don't believe us.

If you're going to buy an extended, but the HTC OEM one, not this overpriced POS

Normal battery isn't too bad though. I just hate that I have to bring my charger with me on my every commute.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mcpo117:
If someone gets this will they please post what the mAh is using one of the battery monitoring programs? I would like to see if the over rated another one of their batteries.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] versatu:
i better have an extended battery or i will transform in an outlet hunter.

the battery on this phone is ridiculous, i have to charge it very often.

i am thinking to attach the car battery to it....seriously :D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Bullhead00:
I had the Seidio 3500 battery for my Incredible, and I would typically go 2-2.5 days without having to touch a charger. That's with moderate to heavy use also. I believe Seidio's claims about their batteries from my experience with them.

Granted, I have the HTC branded extended battery, if I had not already bought it I would be getting the Seidio for sure.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] albotz21:
For $70 ill just buy 2 more regular batteries and keep them on hand .. 3x1400=4200. Maybe i will get through a full day lol:p
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mandog202:
I ordered the 3200, just got it Wed. and I've been thoroughly pleased with it. I can actually go through a whole work day with brightness on 100% and about 40 minutes worth of tethering on break throughout the day. not to mention going in and out of weak signal areas on the lower floor of the building, and thumbing through twitter every chance I get. First day I had it I didn't use my phone much that day, and it still had 65% at 10PM (unplugged at 5:40 AM). Second day I put it to the test, with heavy use throughout the day it finally died around 6:30 PM (constant use from the moment i got home around 3:30, running paltalk mobile (huge battery sucker) and pandora while browsing.)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jmz768:
Of course they're going to last longer than a regular battery but saying that you could go a couple days without charging has nothing to do with my point. It is well documented that they overstate the capacities of their batteries. Go ahead and pay for a 3500 if you like but that's not what you're getting.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Gimpeh:
Any word if this will fit HTC's extended battery door?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] lx1907:
was curious, how long does it take to charge it?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] GrdLock:
I'm sorry, but it was horrible design on HTCs part with the way they made the battery cover. This giant lump in the back of the phone, with Seido or the HTC extended battery is just absolutely hideous. If I'm going to have an extended life battery, I'd rather have my entire phone be thicker, and it kind of round off on the edges... not have some giant awkward lump right in the middle of it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] 2k10MBC300SPT:
No it does not. If you right click on the battery and choose "view picture", you'll see that it clearly reads 3200
[Thunderbolt Accessories] FreemanB:
The problem is that although you are looking at it in the correct spatial location, your time dimension is approximately 20 days off. If you look at the image in the same time/space reference as the person you replied to, you will indeed see that it clearly states 1500.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] BennyJr:
This.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] SamOliver:
I guarantee it will be exactly the same as the 2750 mah battery that is already available. The 1600 mah battery was tested as having the exact same capacity/battery life as the 1400 mah battery, so one can only assume that the 3200 mah battery will only be roughly 2800 mah in actuality.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Gimpeh:
That's some serious false advertising.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] yue56:
meh, somehow i doubt this will do noticeably better than the oem 2750

I just got my HTC extended battery for $28 shipped, directly from the Verizon website. employer discount / coupon code that was available. There's always ways to.get a good deal. Can't go wrong with oem in any instance.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] NeoNxz:
Hey I ordered this sucker for $60 shipped on ebay...will give feedback soon

I ordered the 1800mah battery on ebay "no name" what a piece of ****! doesn't even have as good a drain as the stock battery, and Power Tutor reads it to not even 1400mah fully charged. It drains fast! (6 hours or less). I did all the battery tricks, (charge, shut off, charge more, turn on, turn off, charge more). Cycled it 7 times. lesson learned. buy brand name products.

Do you guys think the Power Tutor program will give an accurate reading for the new battery? I should delete the batterystats.bin right?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] DigitalMocking:
I've had the giant Seido super huge battery for my Incredible for months now and its been nothing but... well, incredible :p

Unless I'm really pushing the phone I can go a week without bothering to charge it.

I just ordered one of these new monsters from Amazon for my new Thunderbolt. I know I won't see a week on it like I do on the Incredible, but I'll report back after I get a feel for it.

Running Das BAMF 2.1 on my tbolt right now, haven't messed with custom kernels yet, but I plan to :p

[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
In order to reduce battery drain while navigating and streaming audio, I used to turn the screen off on my Nexus One whenever I had a long uninterrupted stretch ahead with no turns; the audio prompt gave me plenty of time to turn the screen back on before I needed to see the road configuration. That doesn't work on the G2x; the screen only stays off for a second or two before coming back on, like one of those trick birthday candles that keeps relighting itself. I can turn the screen off if I change to another application before hitting the power switch, but that means more fiddling in traffic to get the navigation display back.

Is there a setting I'm overlooking, or is it just a peculiarity of this version that I will have to live with?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
This was bothering me also,

With the navigation still running, press the home button to back out to the homescreen and keep the navigation still running in the background. This allows you to turn the screen off :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
Yeah, that's a variant of the "switch to another application" technique I mentioned. Unfortunately, that still leaves a good deal of fiddling with the phone while driving to get back to the navigation screen.

Thanks for the reply, though; I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in this concern.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagasumi:
Hey guys ,

bought my device a while ago , it's just that i found that the GPS isn't locking !

i didn't notice since i thought it's from the nav app , but i tested the default navigation application , and takes forever to lock , and fails to do so !

i don't know if it's common or there is a way to make sure ! but it's not working correctly !

if there is no other way , i think i'll have to send it to best buy :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vylle:
Hey guys - im contemplating buying a new android phone but im not sure which one to choose. i'm leaning closely to the G2X but before i place my order for it - im interested in knowing if there are any flaws that people experience.. i would like to know before i buy so i can get an idea of what is the worst to expect when i get it (cuz where i am, re-sale will be difficult)

thanks for responses :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
There's about 2 million threads here on bugs people are experiencing.

Just one example: I just looked at my phone and it was totally shut down and wouldn't power up until I pulled the battery. First time that happened.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EmceeGeek:
with every phone their will be a few bugs here and there, but if you can hold out until early june, if you like sense UI's try the htc sensation. i like this phone but i'm definitely getting that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vylle:
thanks for the responses guys - i'm looking past just software bugs (i mean, its common for android) and more worried about hardware bugs - EG, a friend of mine had a mytouch 4g with screen problems - after doing some research we discovered that there were two versions of the mytouch4g and one of them (namely the taiwan version) was built with fault-prone screens.

so im interested to know about common hardware faults with the G2X Specifically

@EmceeGeek - i would but the HTC Sensation probably wont come out for the same price range as the G2X.. if there was one phone i would wait for - its the SGSII
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mghertner:
Screen bleed seems to be a pretty common hardware issue with this phone - lots of people on this forum have it, and both the T-Mobile and LG reps I spoke with acknowledged it as a known issue. Some people don't mind it as it is only really noticeable on dark backgrounds (e.g. the startup screens from off, camera screen, etc.), but for the $500 price tag, I expect better.

Others have complained about restarts, which also seems to be a hardware issue, though I have not experienced this myself.

Battery life is another huge issue. Some people are able to get very respectable battery duration (9 hours+), while others are barely able to squeeze out 5. There are some software solutions to the battery issues, but they don't seem to work for everyone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mylasthope:
I'm thinking about picking up a g2x as well. I'm looking to sell my white htc evo asap (before evo 3d comes out and the price I can get for it drops) and pick up a g2x. Do you guys know if these flaws are very prominent. If so, would I be able to return the g2x, assuming the sensation comes out in June, and exchange the g2x for the sensation w/in the 30 day return window?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] e30jean:
I've had mine since the 19th/20th and the camera/video stopped working after a few days. It still takes good pictures and video but the screen itself goes DARK when you launch the camera app or barcode scanner app etc.

Factory reset didn't fix it....it's not rooted or anything either.

Getting a replacement. Local store said a few customers came in with same problem, no resolution yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
What's the basis of this assumption? 2X users in Europe are being told by LG that there will be a patch released to fix their reboot issues. That would indicate software being the culprit, no?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
I agree, the only hardware issue is the LCD bleeding, the rest are probably software related and a patch will be issued. I would choose the G2X over the sensation however I would wait a couple of months for the LCD bleeding to be fixed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vylle:
thanks for the tip - it seems LCD Bleeding is very prominent in some members but i wish i could compile a ratio to see the odds of expecting my device to have it - are there any members who DONT have LCD Bleeding in their G2X's?

anyway if u ask me - this flaw, though a bit provoking, is nothing much to dwell on if it doesnt affect performance in any way
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
I hardly have any bleeding and I wouldn't have even noticed it if i hadnt read these forums. I havent had restarts or any problems at all as a matter of fac i love this phone my old blackberry feels like a dinosaur :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Yep screen bleed is the only real widespread hardware problem with this phone (seems to be confined to early production numbers). Yhe rest is rushed software. T-mobile reps have started talking about an eminent software patch to fix the reset issue...etc.

Just fYI, I have no screen bleed and have had one reset in two weeks of otherwise continuous use (and I mean continuous). Overall I really happy with the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] abowmedia:
I have been through 3 shipments and over 20 g2x's. Every single one has had varying degrees of screen bleed, from just a little in the corners to all the way in the center of the screen. Besides just the screen bleed, 70 - 80% of the devices I looked at also had brown staining along the edges of the screen when viewing a white screen such as a browser. A few were completely tinted yellow when looking at any color.

There's a new thread on the LG forum showing the screen separating from the rest of the phone, and the guy has a picture of the light coming through all the outer edges... bit worst than anything i've encountered.

Your call, but the thing is defective right now. If you insist on getting it, I would at least wait another month until possibly LG has addressed the issue. But chances are, they're not going to. This isn't a new device, its been out in Europe as an o2x for a while, and it's had the same issue since day 1.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] K.wayne_m3:
I dont know about hardware flaws but a frequent problem I run into is that my 4g notification drops to 2g when that happens I actually have no data service I dont know if that data is rebooting itself but it happens quite often, and is really annoying when I am surfing web youtube or any other app that requires data connection. could be a t-mobile problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I dunno. I'm running CM7 and aside from screen bleeding I'd say the phone is a keeper.

I get awesome battery life. I can go from 8am-midnight under normal-heavy use and not worry. My screen bleed is minimal and not noticeable. Funny this forum introduced me to iPad2 screen bleeds which I knew nothing about until I looked at mine (damn you guys)

So for the most part you won't see the screen bleed in less you have a bad case of it, in which I would swap it for a new one. CM7 is finding its legs and is getting pretty close to a stable release.

The stock 2.2 kernel can be wonky which can cause battery misreadings (for better or worse) and resets in some cases. I haven't experienced any battery problems as it just runs and runs and runs. I have had resets on the leaked Gingerbread rom running on a Froyo kernel (but your asking for trouble there).

The phone comes with a 2.2 Rom which was left in Engineering mode and eventually gets sluggish and crashes. There is a patch that fixes this. Luckily most of the "major" issues are fixed by simply flashing CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechMate21:
The screen bleed and light leak

I think they are related but still two different issues. I have been through 4 phones and they have all had light leakage. LG told me that there was a bad batch so this is not whining or anything that can be fixed by massaging or opening up the phone, and no matter what anyone says, its not something I will accept in a product I am paying 500 dollars for. Screen bleed has been varied. The one I have now is the worse of the 4, but I took it home to take photos so I could illustrate the problem. All had dates from the 14th to the 24th of April. The photos are just of the light leakage. There are enough of the bleed issue already.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maslingc:
Hi all,

I was thinking about purchasing a nook color and having fun with roms and themes. I'm wondering though if anyone has tried a playstation emulator on one of these? Looks like this has the same specs as the Droid 2 and X so it seems possible. Could maybe use a controller over Bluetooth?

I'm also wondering what the "stock" market place is like. Is it possible to access the full market once your rooted?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pieceofplastic:
After overclocking to 1.1ghz running cyanogenmod 7, the playstation emulator works very smooth for me, and I use a wii classic controller over bluetooth. Not all games will run though.

On the stock rom you cant really do much, but once you're running a custom rom you can do pretty much anything.

I'm running CM7 off of SD card OC'd to 1.1ghz with psx4droid app . Knockout Kings runs, but pretty choppy. Blood Omen Legacy of Kain runs perfect (weird choice I know but nostalgic for me).

Also running N64oid but for N64 games, at least for me, they don't run smooth enough to really play. Almost but not quite.

I'm not aware of having problems accessing the market place. Both Android and Amazon seem to work great for me.

[Acer Iconia A500] PointZeroOne:
It really is possible for your device to have built up static though. I've come across this issue before with certain Acer PCs and unplugging everything and leaving them like that for a day resolved the issues being seen.

To be fair, I imagine the majority of users are morons also. It makes sense for the company to use morons to filter out morons.

Hey,can anybody can explain 2 me,what is function and benefits of this things? -App2sd,dalvik2sd and ext2,3,4
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] avlopp:
App2sd is exactly what is sounds like, it allows for you to move apps to your sd-card.

Dalvik2sd moves the dalvik cache to sd.

Ext (extended file system) is a type of partitioning that is needed to be done to your sd-card to implement app2sd on 2.1, if you however choose to flash a 2.2 or 2.3 rom, no partitioning of the sd-card is necessary to move apps.
