anyone beat this?

running stock battery, miui rom pershoot kernal, 1ghz, 100% brightness, no live wallpaper, screen on constantly, full H reception, from 8am - 10am downloaded 400mb file in background whilst surfing for those 2 hours.. was at full charge at 8am, now at 10am, down to 15%! i have to charge it twice in a day with heavy use (pretty much constant use).

would hope for 6-8 hours from mugen batt, u think im asking for too much?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] taob:
Download Battery Monitor Widget, turn on history tracking, and have it update once a minute. That will show you how much current (in milliamps) is being drawn. I've seen my phone peak as high as 700 mA, with the display being the biggest consumer. With the stock 1300 mAh battery, a 700 mA draw will deplete the battery in 1300/700 = 1.85 hours. You can do the math with larger batteries.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Fiber:
That's kinda asking too much yeah.. overclocking + screen on constantly at 100% and downloading + surfing over H.. I think you can get 4-5 hours max with the mugen if you're running it like this..
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
even if you get the biggest baddest battery that the market has to offer for the phone, you would still be charging somewhere in the middle of the day.

You're forcing the phone to be using the mobile network constantly (which is a nasty battery drain as it is) + going full brightness (another battery drain) + using the cpu probably at max nonstop = battery drain fest.

So yes, you're asking way too much. Would you expect a hummer to be getting 11mpg if you're stepping on the gas everywhere? It would not even be able to sustain 7mpg (city) at that level.

Just received my 2x 1700mAh Anker's in the mail today; here's a quick review of my experience, I may update this after I have actually battery life reports.

I wasn't quite sure of how the adjustable pins on the charger worked, so I gave the 1-800 number a call; after a couple quick menu options, a girl answered the phone almost immediately; she understood the question, answered it concisely, and I was done with the call in about a minute (in case anyone wonders, place the battery in the charger with the four plates facing up the top-right, adjust the pins on the charger to make contact with the + and - terminals noted on the battery sticker [the + and - icons should be facing out towards you; - is far left, and + is far right]); solid service there. Popped one into the charger, and I think it took an hour or so to hit blue (I didn't check what percentage they arrived with).

I placed it in the phone and realized that it causes a noticeable lip on the battery; I took off the tape, cut off a portion to cover the memory card clip, and placed it back on. The back now fits better, but there is still a ~1mm lip at the bottom of the cover. It's uniform across, so it seems as if it's the black plastic at the end with the terminals. I'll have to visit my neighbor and get something to sand the sides down; doing both sides should give it enough clearance to let the door close flush again.

I was using Mugen 1800 on my Desire Z for like 6 months and I was totaly satisfied. Definitly worth of. The gain is not enormous but like 15-20%. However I didnt have to care about battery because I had always enough.

At the begining I was a bit dissapointed because it didnt last long. But after like 3 weeks there was improvement. I consider myself as heavy user and phone lasted from 7:00 to 23:00 which is something I couldnt imagine with stock battery.

The biggest advantage over other batteries is the size - it fits to the original phone cover. It costs like $35 in my country so this was a deal.

Now I have Galaxy Nexus and I suffer to battery. Almost never lasts whole day. I have to recharge as possible.

I wrote review of mugen 1800 on my blog but its czech. Maybe try google translator. http://www.nuc.cz/mugen-1800-mah-pro-desire-z

Nope, the lockingmechanism for the batterydoor is in the way, if you can find another way to get it closed you could use this battery and even bigger ones with 1cm+ on the lenght, if there are any.

Another satisfied customer

I ordered Mugen 1800mah battery from Mugen's official website. Total price was $39,95 (inc. shipping). Got -7% discount coupon via Facebook and during that time normal shipping was free.

Battery was shipped on time as promised (took around 7-10 days inc. weekend). Followed strictly instructions which came with battery considered of first loading periods.

Technical difference between stock 1350 and Mugen's 1800 was also the real truth.

When got battery, I was still using newest CM7 Nightly (Kang's build) with newest ILWT custom kernel. In daily use got approx. 36-48 hours battery duration. With daily use I mean email syncs (Exchange and Gmail, auto push), several social media uses (appr. 1 hour daily) and calling/texting several times. Sometimes a bit browsing too.

Currently I'm running Andromadus Audacity b3 (ICS ROM) with all recommended tweaks (Supercharger etc) and still getting around same battery duration.

All I can be is fully satisfied with my purchase.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Proxin:
Hey all,

Thought I'd post my experience with the Mugen Power 1800 mah battery.

Before I got it, I tested my phone for its performance with the stock battery. It got about 6 hours of use, which included me listening to Google Music at work almost all day, some texting, some YouTube, some browsing... OC'd with Interactive setting and constant 3G connection, no Wifi but constantly connected to OpenVPN.

After charging the Mugen battery for somewhere between 15 and 20 hours, I popped it into my phone and gave it a try with similar normal-usage. I got 7 1/2 hours out of this battery. It's not bad- ~20% , but I don't think it is worth the $49.99 price tag at Amazon for this battery...

Just my 2 cents. Hopefully it will improve more as the battery gets "worn in" but I'm a bit skeptical.

Mmm I read very good of this battery...thanks I think to buy very soon :D

This battery is a must have! Just to squeeze more out of the Vision, using my MP for 2weeks and it works like a charm. Can do Everything I want and still have juice left to do important stuff! ;)

For the price and free shipping you can't ignore this battery.

Ps. I want more mah only if it fits in the original door!

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Haprog:
I've also had the Mugen 1800mAh battery for a long time on my Desire Z and it's definitely worth it. I think I've got almost 50% longer battery life with the Mugen compared to stock battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emperor Jon:
I don't suppose anyone knows of a handful of keyboards that are compatible with CM7 eh?

I've been trying to find, but everything I try and flash over doesn't work.. If someone could possibly point me in the right direction for keyboards that are confirmed to work for CM7 on the captivate that would be much appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated, as I've spent hours trying to screw around with keyboards and haven't been able to get anything working on this rom.. And no offense to the dev team at CM, but the keyboard blows lol.

Other than that the rom is awesome.

So if anyone could point me in the right direction, or post anything that is confirmed to work, that would be great.

Thanks all.

Yes, because that one gets cluttered, and this is just keyboard specific. I thought this might be my best chance at getting an answer..

Any particular reason why it matters? Once I have my keyboards the thread can be closed/locked w/e
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Because the forum doesn't operate on your rules. The ROM-specific stickies are here for a reason. Use them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok guys lets keep it cool:D. Your best bet would be to Read through the CM7 thread and ask there as the CM7 builds dont use any Samsung drivers so while it may not be an issue, It could be. So is rom related.

[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I think that they are basing that off of looks ;).
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
I've been hearing the 3D isn't 'toggled' like the camera is. If something is in 3D it is displayed as such, and if not it is 2D. No toggle. Apparently. Heard no mention in the Wirefly review, which I found disappointing.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Really? Cause in the wirefly review he flicked on the 3D/2D switch multiple times which one did you watch lol? One ex: He started up the Spiderman game and said "let me turn on the 3D".
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
I only recall the switching of the camera toggle ... Did he toggle the display for the Spiderman ish? I just remember him launching it and closing out.

Thought it was also confirmed by Radioshack .. ?

Edit: he says "MAYBE I need to turn on the 3D" but doesn't comment on / show it in both. He is in and out though. And I thought that switch was specifically for the camera ... ?

I dunno. Read it on, I believe, good and evo and have seen it mentioned a few times since, elsewhere. But maybe it was a result if 'poor reporting' on G&E's part and people echoing it from there.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
No dude he definitely flipped the switch about 4 times, I know it was boring but I actually watched the whole lame 8 minutes lol. Radioshack never knows whats going on.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
He switches it when launching the Spiderman game and says "maybe I need to flip it," but doesnt confirm / elaborate. The other times he is flipping it he was doing so in regards to the camera, was he not? I never hear him specifically mention the toggle for the display apart from the comment upon launching the game

Edit: Sucks for that poor battery, the life is going to be terrible. Guess another site confirmed that it pops in and out 3D/2D when it feels like it. Might be a deal breaker for some. Bummer

None of the UI is in 3D. 3d is limited, from my understanding to games, movies, photos and videos. It doesn't make any sense the the phone would randomly go in and out of 3d.

Yeah same here, my chick used her upgrade for a NS; its ok but im not crazy about it. Ill be waiting for something better myself.

@mrburnsdude

Yeah 3D going in and out is stupid. Im not big on this 3D junk anyways gives me a headache. I barely made it through 2 hours of avatar don't know how i would stare at a phone in 3D all day smh. I played with the Nintendo 3Ds and in 2D the battery will last like 24 hours but in 3D mode it drops to 3 hours lol.
[EVO 4G General] Subiegsr:
I'm also assuming that Super AMOLED, since using leds as lighting will have better battery life than the qHD? I was really hoping that the 3D would be some sort of led screen to combat the poor battery life.

Nonetheless, the trade in deal of the evo towards the 3D is almost too good to pass up. :)
[Nexus One General] James Bell:
I'm an N1 owner from the first week it came out and have stock 2.3.4 on mine. I was looking at the G2x and waiting patiently for the Sensation when a MyTouch 4G fell into my lap for $60.

At first I stuck Virtuous' Sense ROM on it but for me the downsides of Sense outweighed the up. So the next day I put CM 7.0.3 on it. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised by the phone and it's become my daily driver. Thought I'd put down some of the pluses and minuses:

Same: weight, megapixels, flash, single speaker, power & volume button, headphone jack, htc build quality

MyTouch 4G better:

+feels slightly faster

+more RAM

+4G (down/upload speed is double my N1)

+touchpad superior to trackball

+hard buttons!

+camera button

+front facing camera

+slightly bigger screen

+no crazy screen bug!

+scratch resistant glass

+LCD brighter and sharper than AMOLED

Nexus Better:

-LED notification only does red or green

-battery cover requires crowbar

-car dock sucks

-side usb connectors SUCK

-battery life similar (damn)

-N1 gets newest Android first

-slightly more typos (slightly bigger keyboard maybe?)

-no good desk dock
[Nexus One General] Ethan Allison:
-Does the car dock have a removable USB cable (like the N1 does) so you can use one as a desk dock?

-Can you do custom LED colors (like full red half green, half red full green, etc)?
[Nexus One General] AntonJart:
I am stuck in between of the choice - to get N1 or to get MyTouch 4G.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
MT4G wins. The author of the post didn't nail the level of difference between the phones. Let me try to add/correct the same list (I have both).

MT4G advantages:

A LOT faster. In everything - graphics, overall feel, everything. Also, easily overclockable, and allowing much higher overclock than Nexus One.

Much more internal space - eliminates the need for workarounds like A2SD.

Much better ROM selection - has multiple fully functional Sense versions, including Sense 3.0 (which for me is FAR better than anything AOSP or CM can master).

Better battery life, and less heat produced.

MT4G disadvantages listed wrongly:

Battery cover is fine, and I forgot when was the last time I needed to look at it.

At least in Gingerbread, newest stock Android didn't offer anything of value over what Sense had since Froyo.

Nexus has much more typos thanks to the crazy screen bug.

Hello,

Problem: Can normal boot into factory ROM without problems, but cannot boot into recovery mode

Goal: To install Vegan 7.0 RC1

Current Specs: GTablet Android 2.2, Tap UI 1.2-4349, Kernel 2.6.32.9 (dirty hudson), Build # FRF91

Details:

- Installed ClockworkMod 0.8 (clockwordmod_gtab_v08.zip) from root of SDCard using update.zip in root with recovery folder and command file method

- Can boot fine into factory ROM, however can no longer access recovery mode - hangs on "Booting Recovery Kernel Image"

- Can access SDCard, SDCard2, USBDisk in normal boot, however, cannot get APX USB Drivers to install and recognize device (therefore cannot use NVFlash) - I get error code 10 in Windows Device Manager (yellow exclamation)

- Attempted to install APX drivers and use NVFlash on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 x64 - driver installs as NVidia Fastboot (also tried Nvidia USB Boot-time Mobile Device driver, and the Advent USB driver) - no luck on either OS with any of the APX USB drivers

- At one point I also tried to install the Z4 Root package in normal boot but always get a "parse package" error when attempting to install (installation didn't ever actually start)

I've read through the forums, watched the Youtube videos but am still stuck. I bought the GTab thinking I had enough skills to do this, but find myself at the mercy of the forums. Any assistance to get me going with a workable recovery mode again (even if factory) would be appreciated, so I can at least "start from the beginning" again.

Thanks in Advance,

Ben

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Where did you get your device, was that a TigerDirect purchase? I'm hearing reports that 4349 is the ROM being used on them, at least as per some posts here in XDA.

The reason why I ask is because 4349 is a 1.2-based ROM, but CM7 (and it's derivatives) are all 1.1-based - they are not compatible, as you found out. I know that Viewsonic has not re-offered 4349 in almost 2 months, but I'm curious where there 4349 devices are coming from. If you are on 4349 and want to use CM7, gojimi has a post on how to downlevel to a 1.1-based ROM first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036956

I'm also wondering what the new Woot! users will get. It's anyone's guess, at this point.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesternerd:
TigerDirect purchase

Yes, I purchased mine from TigerDirect Canada, however it shipped from US to me in Nova Scotia. And yes, it came with 1.2.4349 ROM.

Once I figured out how to boot into AXP mode I was all good though to recover. Now that I've got 2.1 Honeycomb alpha on I'm eager to get Honeycomb 3.0 ROM on.. just have to find the ROM download and forum post with steps then the youtube video :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
The three HC ROMs floating around are all 1.2 dev branch based, so keep that in mind. Since you've already used nvflash though, you are are in good shape in case you soft brick.

I have a 4349-based nvflash, over on Slatedroid. If you haven't grabbed it, you might want to take a look - it gives you the ability to nvflash to a base 1.2 ROM, to prep you for any of the HC alphas out there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesternerd:
Thanks - I've got the 1.2 base ROM installed prior to going to HC2.1. Hopefully that will be a good starting point to get HC3 on.. very excited to see what it has to offer! I hear NetFlix support!

I've been doing a lot of research trying to come up with a good solution to mount my Transformer in the map compartment of my car (03 Mazda 6) which is actually pretty large. The transformer will almost fit in it horizontally but I want something that will allow me to adjust and swivel it to be able to easily change my viewing angle so I was looking at some goose neck/swivel mount solutions but I wasn't sure if they would support the tablets ~1.5lbs weight. The goose neck solution I was looking at is made by ProClip (http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...ount-with-amps-hole-pattern-215181-13978.aspx) and I was thinking of just putting a PadTab (http://www.thepadtab.com) on the end of it since I can't find a holder for it yet. Does anyone know if the Motorola Xoom holder might work for it since the dimensions are nearly the same? Does anyone else have their Transformer mounted in their car in a similar way? If so, what solution are you using (besides a vent mount). Also if you have any suggestions on what may work I am open to hear them. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] retali8:
Actually after looking more online I'm thinking that this flex mount (http://www.panavise.com/index.html?pageID=1&page=full&--eqskudatarq=149) looks a lot sturdier than the one ProClip sells and I think it may be able to withstand vibrations a lot better and is cheaper which is also a plus lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] newtybar:
There's someone on this forum that did proclip + pad tab.

I talked to the product manager at ProClip and they do not have any plans to develop a TF holder. The holders are very specific to the device so a Xoom may not work.

The pad tab seems like the only option but I don't want to stick that plastic square thing on the back of my TF...

Got mine mounted in my car today. Came up with a better/permanent solution since I don't trust the padtab to hold my device. Will post some pics tomorrow but here is what I used in case any of you were wondering..

RAM Mount Tab-Tite Holder (Model # RAM-HOL-TAB3U) -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004V9JA20

Panavise 6-Inch Stay-Put Flex Mount (Model # 782-06) -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I7OQB4 (although it's really really hard to flex .. i guess that's what the stay-put means in the product name :P .. and it doesn't move when you drive at all so if you want that flexibility i would suggest a uniflex mount that panavise makes.)

I have an 03 Mazda 6S which has a map compartment that opens up above my radio which I then mounted the Panavise base to by drilling 3 holes in it for the mount and I put a metal sheet behind it (since the map compartment is plastic) for extra support so I can flex the mount if I need to. Other than that this has worked excellent. :D
