+1 definitely go with stock. The Seido battery is junk.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2daake:
Go for OEM, I got one with my Thunderbolt and have been using it constantly since launch day. The only annoying thing about it is that where the sides jut out, it squeaks a little if you squeeze it, making it feel cheap, but I get over 6 hours of hotspot usage on a single charge.

aftermarket batteries

I got two 1700ma batteries and a battery charger from a place called chichi tech with HTC branding about a month ago (with much apprehension) . All was about 43.00. Don't know about the ma rating butbatteries last about 20% longer than stock. Just my experience fwiw

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
No.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
No doesn't seem to, just dimes the screen but its still killing my battery but I'm still loving these speedy ports.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
I was playing with the "screen filter" thing yesterday, because of Really Wanting to run the Avalaunch ROM, and I have the screen that gives the brightness issue. But it seemed to me that it did not technically dim the screen at all, just the image displayed, if that makes sense. Example being that it dimmed everything but the notification bar at top.

Some people are swearing by JuiceDefenderBeta for good results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelevra420:
Ok... i didnt think so... evoking replied to a comment i left with that apk to fix the brightness issue on his speedy port...

But my concern with brightness was with the battery consumption.

So i used it...but it still destroyed battery life..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sry0fcr:
No BS, I got 14 hours of medium-heavy usage including running a 4G hotstpot for about 30 mins, an about an hour of browsing over WIFI, a couple phone calls and numerous sms and email messages using JD beta with the Ultimate upgrade. I disabled JD the following day and got 9 hours with LESS usage (I was in training that day so no playing with the phone) I using CM7.0.3.1 with Tiamat 3.3.8.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
I am running the SGSII on stock 2.3.3 on I9100XXKDJ (Which I think is the latest) and I have noticed over the last few days, that unlike my SGS 1, it seems to transfer data via 3G when I'd expect it to be using the available WiFi.

Anyone else noticed this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
Nope, it works the same as my SGS1 for me. As soon as im connected on wifi the 3G/H icon disappears leaving only the signal strength, and I am on wifi only for data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
What can I use to determine what is using the 3G Data services?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
Also how can I see how strong the WiFi Signal is as far as the phone is concerned? Anyone else noticing the WiFi strength on their SGS2 is worse than on the SGS1?

Also interestingly I have both a WiFi and 3G icon on the top bar at the moment!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorko122:
I don't have a SGS1 but it seems that the WiFi signal strength is not very strong on my SGS2 with KE1. Maybe with a newer firmware it is better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jthornton71707:
Does anyone use either of these apps on the infuse? What settings do you use? Do they help with battery life or make it worse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
honestly i just think they waste more battery.

set cpu has it lower the cpu speed when its asleep then raises it again when you turn the screen on. seems like it would waste more battery.

and juice defender. same thing stops process that will eventually start agian more battery drain
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
ive used juice defender before and it works on some stock roms quite well. however custom roms i used on the captivate had zero improvement. it depends on a lot of things, really how much data the phone uses with the screen off. your sync options and apps will have a big effect. i honestly see no reason to improve the infuse. and at some point custom roms will not need any battery saver apps at all.

gingerbread roms tend to be better out of the box, so if there is a gingerbread update then the battery life should be very good for a stock smartphone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Funny you ask about JuiceDefender because I'm testing it as we speak and have been since early yesterday. I can report that it works pretty well actually. I was out and about for over 12 hours yesterday with JuiceDefender on the Agressive setting and I only lost 30% battery and that was with the screen on for about an hour and a half playing WordFeud (that game gets freakin addictive so I kept turning the screen on and off, on and off, on and off). Had I not been playing that game I bet I would only lost ~10-15%.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JasjarMan:
Setcpu works for me. I have it on 1200 and low 800 and on demand. When watching videos I set it to high n low to 400.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jthornton71707:
What settings were you on? I used it yesterday for the first time and it completely killed my battery. I was loosing 8-10% an hour. I had the settings set to check once every 2 hrs that's it. Wifi preferred ect
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
The Aggressive profile is all I conf'd JuiceDefender to.
[General Questions and Answers] Xenomisis:
Hey Guys,

Back Story (don't really have to read if you want to skip)

I was at the bar with some coworkers and a new guy I work with was talking about how he had bought a Samsung Fascinate from a friend of his that had gotten his account frozen (it was on Verizon Wireless). The coworker wanted to transfer it over to Cricket Wireless (it is a crappy carrier in my area if you haven't heard of it) but they told him that they could do it but that he wouldn't get MMS. He ended up just buying a new one from Cricket and offered to sell me the one he could use for 50 bucks (it is like new in a box with everything) and told me if I couldn't do anything with it he would buy it back. This was kinda a win/win no brainer for me so of course I took him up on the offer.

He also did say that he could not get Verizon to activate it because there was a hold on the account that the phone currently belonged to.

The phone obviously will not work for me because I am on Sprint but from what I understand is that it is pretty much the same phone as the Captivate on AT&T. My dad uses AT&T for his carrier and has an iPhone but hates it and wants to go to an Android phone.

The questions:

1. Can I get the Samsung Fascinate from Verizon Wireless to work with AT&T?

2. Can I somehow remove whatever information that has linked this phone to being locked on Verizon so that I could sell it or activate it on another Verizon account if I want to sell it or give it to someone who does have Verizon?

3. Are there any other good options that I can do with this if neither of these will work?

I have no issues with rooting/flashing/messing with whatever is on this phone. I am a flashaholic on my Evo 4g and know that Samsung is a bit different then HTC when it comes to this type of thing but should have no issues figuring out the difference as far as rooting and such from other posts on this site. I just did not see anywhere that this question was already asked and know this is the absolute best place to come to get the correct answers for questions like these.

Thank you for any help you can give!!! :D

Hey guys i'm using MoboPlayer and i've notice that When mirrorring on my TV that it doesn't work while playing avi or mkv yet can play both those standalone... anyone else having these issues? or has anyone else mirror'd movies successfully using another app?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] koleno:
I had problems with mobo+hdmi too. The picture froze both on TV and transformer.

Using vital player now and hdmi works fine. Beware that ONLY free version works. Donate version keeps FC and developer says it's because honeycomb authentication system and it's not working now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jtn7040:
thanks will check that player out
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] samuelong87:
i have that problem with Mobo and Rockplayer. will try out Vital too!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jtn7040:
Those players can't play from th SD card thouggh
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] finalhit:
I use moboplayer. Works great. Make sure you get the additional codec pack for tegra. Forgot which one but it's somewhere in this forum.

I was also just tinkering with vital today. There is an option to set the root location where you start browsing. Simply set that to / and you can browse you entire tablet. Sgcard is not in/sdcard but /removable/microSD or sd

I don't need a signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Kilmar:
Moboplayer and HDMI works fine for me. I also have the additional codec pack installed. Plays very smoothly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
The only thing that's "bad" about the HDMI mirror is the different screen ratio. The picture gets cut off at top and bottom. But since it's hiding the menu bar it's not really that bad :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Sturmie:
Is the codec needed for MoboPlayer different from the one that Mobo recommends in the Market?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
I use the one that they recommend after installing the main app. I think it's optimized for ARMv7. It's also available through the market.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] koleno:
I tried installing codec package , but it was freezing all the time

[General Topics] openbook:
Good to see Android winning i love it.

My request to the manufacturers is to concentrate on a higher capacity for the battery which they are providing with the phone.

And a proper case like a flip one would be better.Some countries they sell only mobiles not the accessories.We dont mind paying a little extra for that if you include it in the package.

Suggestion to Google:I am not a software developer i dont know if you are doing this but as a user i would like to upgrade my android os version along with you when you release it i hate waiting for the manufacturers to realease an update.

Android by default has an UI right give the option for the end user to choose if they want to go with the default Android UI or wait for their device manufacturer to realease an update.

Example like Windows OS can run on any branded pc/laptop or an assembled desktop and for the drivers people can go to their manufacturers website and download it.

Also Google please release the minimum hardware requirements corresponding to the version of Android.

I appreciate google for its continuos effort in fixing/upgrading the android versions we end users also want to enjoy the newer versions.

Example HTC Desire was released last year and better specs than Nexus 1 and Ginger bread was released in December 2010 i guess till date more than 5 months i am waiting for Gingerbread from HTC or i have to choose a Mod which the XDA developers are working hard in porting it and fixing issues.

Please Google dont let the end users behind.Google and the android phone manufacturers remember you are nothing without the End buyers.

You satisfy us we will buy your products.Also manufacturers concentrate on middle east because these are the oil rich countries we have enough money to buy any damn smart phone/Tablet what ever price it is.

I sold my HTC Desire just because i hated waiting for updates i will buy my next Android phone only if i get a minimum of 2400 mah battery as a default from the manufacturer and a direct android os UI / manufacturer UI option other wise i will not buy it.I have the money to buy any android phone/tablet out there today but i will not buy it.
[General Topics] oka1:
get the nexus it is the only phone that gets all the updates because essentially it is a developers phone.

Then you can root and then get a kernel that is undervolt and you will get all the battery life you ever desired.
[General Topics] Hockeypuck55:
I hear ya. The 4g and the Thunderbolt don't mix very well.
[General Topics] Trv06kviper:
The 'HTC Thunderbolt aka Mecha' and 'HTC Evo 'Lightspeed' are the same phone except antenna, the Thunderbolt suffers from the same issue as the ADR-6200 HTC Incredible, the battery is under sized for the phone thus you get about 6 hours max usage anything above that is luck and or careful management of battery usage. It is a well known issue with both phones.

As far as Android OS in general 'background data' and various accounts syncing are the biggest issues I think in regards to battery. It can do so much but, it will drain battery. It's a fair trade off Android does so much more which makes sense it would suck the life out of any battery. Think of a laptop, it gets maybe 2 hours max on a single charge.

I fixed that, and now it will only charge when turned off, it has a terrible battery life (like 2 hours) and it wont recognize my SD card....My advice..Calkulin, either fix the the problems with the ROM or, Evo users, DO NOT DOWNLOAD this ROM. its caused me nothing but problems.

First thought is you should not be posting your question in the themes and apps section. Post in general or Q&A. My second thought is 2.2 is a little trickier to root than stock eclair 2.1.

[Nook Color General] mrdarklight:
Hello, fellow Androidians who are wiser than I,

I bought a Nook Color and managed to get CWM and CM7 installed on an 8gb SD card (not rooted to the Nook yet). I'm trying to get Gapps installed so I can install other Google apps, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I downloaded the .zip file from the cyanogen mod wiki (bottom of page), the version for CM7. Actually I clicked on the first link and got a major malware warning for my PC, but the mirror link worked fine.

So I turned off my Nook, took the SD card out, put it back in the PC and copied the gapps...zip file to the SD card. The instructions I followed are kind of unclear about this whole thing. I copied it into the only partition that comes up in Windows (called Boot). Then I put the SD card back in the Nook and restart it.

At this point I am supposed to reboot into recovery mode. I think I did that, but I don't get any dialogues to answer, so I'm not sure if I did or not. I have rebooted a couple of times from within the OS by using the "Reboot/Reboot to Recovery Mode" option when turning off. The Nook reboots, but it seems to just start normally, and no new Marketplace icon is visible. Also the .zip file on the hard drive is still there.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
I think I've heard something before about making sure you're connected to wifi?
[Nook Color General] mrdarklight:
I heard that you have to go online and then the Marketplace icon shows up, but I was already on Wifi. I turned it off, rebooted and turned it back on, but nothing happened.
[Nook Color General] Joshp406:
This has happened to me as well. I've found if you flash CM7 7.0.2, with the gapps and everything, then flash 7.0.3, with the gapps and kernel, it will work (at least for me it does)
[Nook Color General] jll544:
Do you mean that the .zip file is still on the SD card (in the /boot partition)? If so, you probably haven't made it into recovery mode yet. Instead of using the "Reboot to recovery" option, turn off the Nook, then power it on by holding the "n" button and power button together. Keep holding both buttons until about 3-4 seconds after you first see text on the screen ("Touch the future" or "Read forever").
