Look at the post above, he added a link to someone who cut out the back of their case. So the answer is floating between yes and no. There don't seem to be any that are designed to fit around a phone with a larger battery, but if you don't mind your phone looking pretty ghetto, you can cut out the the back of your current case. lol
[Captivate Accessories] cliffgardner:
Just bought one. I don't use a case, so no worries there. We'll see how the battery life is.
[Captivate Accessories] slowslow:
It looks like the auction in the op sold out, so I got another 2600 mah battery on ebay. item# 290570071497 (n00b = no linky). Received it yesterday. There's a sticker on the box that says it needs 3 full cycles to reach, "maximum performance." It's been 19 hours since I unplugged it, played 4 hours of youtube videos and 3 hours of other heavy use, at 37% currently. Running Mosaic VI and didn't reset the stats.
[Captivate Accessories] Joe777G:
Does anyone know of a battery that is the same size as the original, but with a higher capacity? I want more battery life with out the added bulk. Even just a little more capacity would be nice.
[Captivate Accessories] shorty920:
I'm assuming that this won't fit well inside the Body Glove case?
[Captivate Accessories] R2142:
most batteries that claim to be the same size but last longer are nothing more than cheap knockoffs with a cheap sticker. I am leery of any battery claims but sometimes you have to just go for it. As for logic here, if you want double the battery you need double the size. I know Mobile City online has a Captivate battery that is much better on life but it also requires a special door/cover.

Hmm. I don't know if I like this.

battery doors.... don't like them...
[Captivate Accessories] Donmarques72:
I'l like to buy one, but phone looks so ugly whe it is attached :(
[Captivate Accessories] bgroins:
Will it still slip into the desk charger with this installed?
[Captivate Accessories] billd104:
That thing looks friggin' huge. IMHO ruins the slimness of the Captivate.
[Captivate Accessories] ewingr:
That is true for sure. It depends on which is more important to you: good looking, and slim, or having a phone with a battery that will last when you acdtually use it much.

I have purchased a Otterbox case and cut it out, and put the rubber cover on, and it makes the phone much thicker, but the bump that looks bad is not seen. Just looks like a fatter phone.

I can live with that, as I now have a battery that takes me through a whole day and more.

Are SD booster apps from the market any good?

I've seen one by a 'daniel mehrmaan' & its getting good reviews.

Just wondered that's all

Cheers.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
I use it and have mine set on the recommended 2048 seems better than without.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay83:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes your right. Although its an SD booster, my whole phone seems snappier.

Must say I am quite pleased. usually I see apps like this and they just seem like gimmicks that dont really work.

Thanks alot bud.

Cheers.

If you want a truly snappy DHD check out the ROM in my sig (TB Fusion3d) ;)

Play around with the cache size and test it with sd card speed test to see if there is any gain. different size sd would affect the cache size..
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkHorse281:
Anyone out explain the issue with the bluetooth pairing on this thing. I've tried to pair a couple different phones but no cigar. I looked all over this forum to see if there was a fix but haven't seen a solution only other complaints. When I flash to a new ROM will that fix the poblem? If not how? What did you guys do?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Are you trying to use stock rom? Most people here have no idea how stock rom performs with most functions.

You might want to visit my page gtab for dummies.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkHorse281:
Awesome website!

I checked out your web site earlier today from the reply you gave me last night on some other stuff. I can't tell you enough how appreciated this site is. I read every last word of each section and have a much better understanding. I would like to have a better understanding of each ROM. Like what would make me choose one over another? They have to be reasons to pick one over another. What does one do that the others don't? On your web site a brief description of each one could help us dummies know which one would serve our needs better. It's just an idea that could cut down on future questions. I love the site and will be visiting often. Thanks for all of that effort GoodIntentions!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Good idea.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkHorse281:
Pros and cons

I thought about this a bit more. Maybe a list of the pros and cons for each ROM could help. If I knew the down side for each ROM it would definitely push me in one direction or another.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UGPhilosopher:
I agree with the Pros and Cons idea, I'm in the process of trying to work one up, but alas its seems my knowledge has become slightly outdated :( don't you hate that? Running CM7, I've got lots of cons but compared to what I had before I stuck with it. Switching to VeganTab I'll let you know how that goes but I'm thinking it may be a permanent switch.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I've never had any trouble pairing with my phone with the roms I tried. Make sure your gtab is visible.
[Optimus 7 General] hightmare:
for once more xda is my only hope to find a solution to my problem i use runsat free v1.3 which it takes way too long to lock gps signal and when it does it might lose it i took the phone to lg for repair they told me that they upgraded the firmware but the problem persists any advices are welcomed is anybody else using the program?
[Optimus 7 General] jontatas:
Have you tried using RunKeeper to rule out software problems?

/J
[Optimus 7 General] hightmare:
yes does the same thing i get only one bar of gps signal out of and accuracy is 149m
[Optimus 7 General] jontatas:
Ok, it's always good to rule out the basic things first. I use RunKeeper and it works like a charm, however I'm not overly concerned about accuracy as long as it keeps track on my activity as a whole (biking).

There are a few setting you can change for the GPS using MFG. You can find the GPS settings under 7.Engineering Menu -> 2.Device Test -> 6.Sensor Test -> 4.GPS Test -> 2.GPS Setting.

I'm no GPS expert so I can't really say what you should change, but I'm sure you could find that info around these boards.

Hope it helps at least a little bit.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] grifforama:
T Mobile has a web only deal for a Samsung Galaxy S 4G for free ending today.

For those of you that have one, can you please let me know what you think of it ? I guess it ends today so they can clear stock for the HTC sensation, but I dont think I'll be able to afford one of those, so this seems like a sweet deal.

some honest opinions would be appreciated, good or bad.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flyinbird93:
I bet its the same deal they did with the g2, you have to make a new plan/new line of service with a web plan to get the special deal. They wouldn't even work with me on the phone over it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Get this phone cause I'm telling you ya won't regret it. Ever since one of the devs(drhonk) got the phone to test on things are blowing up around here(I mean that in a good way:) ) we have cwm and a few roms and alot of Tweaks that are gonna make that sgs4g fly and all your friends are gonna be like "wtf, I wish my phone would perform like that". Lol. But yes I would definitely recommended it especially if its for free. I mean come on that's a deal.

**edit** if what flyinbird93 says is true then that sucks I thought it was free upgrade when trading in your existing phone :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] grifforama:
Yes, it's an online only deal, but it seems pretty awesome.

I'm giving up on Verizon since my home area is a known trouble spot, and they're letting me out of my contract for free.

So come on, be honest, let me know all the pros and cons...battery life ? Camera good ? Is Video chat any good ? Is the 4G service good ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] grifforama:
wow. didn't last long. out of stock already
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Too bad. I scored two for free with a new contract over mothers day weekend. Do not regret it at all. Get on the back order list off you can.

On the moon our weekends are so advanced they encompass the entire week
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
I'm trying to get my friend to get one but they are out of stock! Sucks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flyinbird93:
There is no better phone, even for the 150-300 some could pay for it. I doubled my original speeds in one day just by grabbing the latest updates here. Trying to get my g/f to snag me another s4g for free during this deal for my daughter, its gonna be a family phone here, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lostsauce:
Got the same deal

They had this deal about a month and a half back. This is how I ended up with the phone. I switched over from sprint and am loving every minute of it. Not too big on the unlimited data but only 2gb of high speed cap they have in place but its cool. There is a lot going on with this phone right now to make it really bad ass, hell it is a beast completely stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Liquid Smoke:
i've had the SGS4G for a little over a month and i love it, and its gotten better the past few weeks with all the roms and other dev stuff coming out for it. it's prob just as good as the HTC Sensation for the value since you'd be paying a lot more for the Sensation now. the specs are pretty equal i think, the only thing is that it doesnt have a notification LED and no camera flash/LED either, but thats not too big an issue so i dont mind as much now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] matthenry87:
I have no complaints about the phone myself. I was sad about the internal storage but once you fota fix that problem is solved. As far as notification light - I use Bali kernel which has BLN support. My four buttons on the bottom light up whenever I have a notification. The ext4 mod makes my phone super snappy and responsive and I can't wait until we get voodoo on top of that.

My co-worker used the Sensation over the weekend and said it seems to have some odd connectivity issues when making phone calls/texts/using data. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-SENSATION-4G/Sensation-4G-Data-Connectivity-Issues/td-p/875585 Every phone has it's flaws but I hope it isn't plagued by bugs like the G2X (which is an AWESOME phone but just needs a software update).

Don't get me wrong, The Sensation is a beast but I'm not a big fan of Sense UI. I prefer Go Launcher or Launcher Pro. Heck I'd even use the stock Gingerbread launcher over Sense. If you try to run an alternate launcher over Sense it seems to bog the phone down (at least on pre-dual core phones). This probably wont be a problem once they unlock the bootloader though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Let the results speak for them selves I mean were literally blowing other phone out the water thanks to this community.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Can you point me in the right direction for this mod? I have frost bionix running, and this mod would just be the icing on the cake. Thanks!

Also, I took advantage of this deal and now my dad will have one of these awesome phones just in time for fathers day. We got the 200 mb data free for a year too. If you take advantage of this deal, make sure to call and ask for free data/10.00 off your data (if you want more than 200 mb)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] matthenry87:
Sure. The kernel that bionix comes with has bln support. You need to download the bln app from the market. To make it work you need to push a file to /system/lib/hw. You can find a link to the post that has this file on the bali kernel's thread. It's the fix by chadster I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Thanks for the info! I appreciate the quick response.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alta1r:
Seems like my signal isn't as good anymore (drops sometimes) as with the baseband that came with the ROM that came with the device.

I don't want to go back to stock and just keep the ROM I'm using now, so can I just extract the modem.bin of another ROM and flash this with Odin?

If yes, flash as PDA or Phone?

[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
When you click on any of the models, it gives you a more detailed description. In the description for the a500-10s16w it says 32gb, but I'm fairly confident its just a typo because the model number is the same as the 16gb, aside from the last letter.

On a side note, does anybody know the difference between the two 16 gb models?
[Acer Iconia A500] 4dthinker:
Well, some of the $449 models market 16gb came with 32gb. Maybe that's what is up.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
typo or not

If you have bought yours already what difference does it matter tech stuff prices drop and hardware specs change
[Acer Iconia A500] alvanyap:
well i assume the U is stand for 3g & W stand for wifi which is make sense :)
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Guys if you already have bought your tab why the heck do you care about its prices now.......

But the 3g model is known as the A501 is it not?
[Acer Iconia A500] pintness:
don't say that, amazon decreased the price for the 32gb model one week after i bought it. dropped a short email and got the €s back in my bank account :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choadtron11:
Did a search can't find anything specific to my issues.

So I had to replace my amoled screen (Samsung brand), did the replacement everything works fine. But...

now it seems my touch screen has a mind of it's own. It will jump out of apps on me or it's favorite is to jump to the recent apps screen (the screen when you hold the home down). It first seemed to do this when I held it's sides with a little pressure, now it's doing it less. Now it jumps to the screen when I gently set it down on it's back.

I have opened the phone back up washed my hands with dish soap, then disconnected all the ribbons and q-tipped them with rubbing alcohol to clean any oil off. (this seemed to help the side squeeze issue)

I also applied clear tape to the back side of the new screen like how it was on the OEM screen since it didn't come with any kind of shielding like to OEM screen (ie that weird metal fabric like tape).

I still get issues and am not sure what it could be or I could do, taking it to VW is not an option.

Oddy enough, hitting it seems to help it, I am not sure if something is shorting or what it could be. I have removed the screen and reset it back on the touch pad still nothing helps.

I am about to try cm7 to see if it's a software or hardware thing but I suspect hardware.

Thanks guys
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Try a new rom, like you said. This will 100% determine if it is hardware or software. If it still jumps around on cm7, then there is something wrong with the hardware

Sent from my HTC Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanger84:
I don't know a great deal about replacing hardware on a phone, but is it possible that the screen type is different than the stock type? Some Incredibles have AMOLED screens and others have SLCD. I know with computers, if you replace a part that't not compliant with the original then you have issues.

So maybe the screen you put in isn't compatible with the rest of the hardware?

Just a guess...take my advice with a grain of salt lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choadtron1:
No its the right screen, like I said its the Samsung screen just like oem, the slcd is a Sony product used on 2nd gen dincs. plus the screen and the digitizer are two different parts, the screen is not touch sensitive.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanger84:
Ah ok. Sorry...like I said, never messed with changing phone hardware....was just tossing out an idea.

I've repaired laptop parts like the LCD, touchpad, and such and had issues with the parts not being exactly the same as OEM, that's why I was asking.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
It sounds like a loose connection to me... I havent had any problems with my glass unless its greasy or something. It could also be an issue with the touchpad (button), there is a rubber piece surrounding it that apparently MUST be there... Not sure what would happen if I didn't replace it tho I didn't wanna test it out
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choadtron11:
So I CM7'ed the phone, it defiantly runs better but it does still bug out.

seems to do it more at work when it's set on my plastic type desk.

I'll pull it apart again and double check the rubber gasket, blow out the optic track button and shim the ribbon connections.

seems something is defiantly shorting just a little bit and it all seems to happen down at the 4 menu buttons side of things
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choadtron11:
so I pulled it apart one last time. removed the screen and reset it in the case, this time for what it was worth I tried very hard to make sure the screen was mounted as high up toward the top as i could for what it was worth. I also made dbl sure the screen was then firmly pressed back in place and all edges were nice and recessed into it's case.

put the mother board back on and dbl checked all the ribbon connection to make sure they were nice and securely seated and not crooked, then snapped the ribbons down.

I also extended the little grounding? fingers (the ones that press against the copper pads) to make sure they would be firmly in contact with the copper pads. I only extended the ones down by the 4 menu buttons.

I con report it's been about 36 hours and nothing has bugged out yet.

not sure exactly what the issue was but i'll keep you posted if it comes back.

Hi all as you have read Jack is trying to make a recovery backup of a 1.6 rom i have found a way that Jack can get this but i need a users who still has a 1.6 rom rooted with terminal emulator installed and to use these commands

info:

Your phone has several devices which hold different parts of the filesystem:

#cat /proc/mtd

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "boot"

mtd1: 04000000 00020000 "cache"

mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd3: 00060000 00020000 "splash"

mtd4: 0f500000 00020000 "system"

mtd5: 002c0000 00020000 "lgdrm"

mtd6: 08a80000 00020000 "userdata"

mtd7: 00100000 00020000 "misc"

mtd8: 00080000 00020000 "usd"

mtd9: 005a0000 00020000 "pkg"

mtd10: 1cfc0000 00020000 ""

the commands i need you to run are these

Commands:

su
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/backup1.6/boot.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd4 > /sdcard/backup1.6/system.img
cd /sdcard/backup1.6/
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

running these commands will give use a fully flashable 1.6 backup so please users if you are running 1.6 then please run the commnds and upload the rom.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] max1919:
only problem is that nobody is on 1.6 anymore :(

hmm, still it is COOL project. Are you sure it is going to work? I mean why can not we just flash v1.x KDZ file (that should bring us 1.6 back, but LG says do not do this cause you will break phone).

so... if KDZ method doesn't work are you sure that recovery will work
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
yes recovery will work just think people have 2.3 and can still flash back to 2.1 or 2.2
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
You cant downgrade using KDZ as the bootloader wont downgrade, but our method should work when we get it sorted.

GOOD NEWS:

I'd sent my phone back to LG people coz my phone was totally bricked!! So they said that they'll replace my phone's motherboard with a new one. Currently my phone's still with the LG people and they're waiting for the new motherboard. The new motherboard will be having 1.6 pre-installed. Once I get it, I'll upload it soon.

But it seems that the LG people are quite lazy, and it may take another week to get my phone.
