of course the tbolt has enough battery capacity in the standard included battery to make it through a 90 or 120 minute movie with the screen on that whole time right? And still have enough power left after the movie to function as a phone until one can get to a charger?

of course not. it would make sense to be able to charge while watching a movie with the kickstand deployed.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
LOL. You don't know what a dock is, do you?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bthomp21:
boats park at it, right?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] scriz:
We should not have to buy a dock in order to watch a movie and charge our phones at the same time.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] MordyT:
Its a feature... Deal with it.

TBH, I assume it was designed so you bought the dock. I too got the seideo dock..

Via my HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
Stop being silly. You can watch a movie and charge at the same time, exactly as you can on an Android phone without a kickstand.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gadget!:
Just an fyi, as a test I charged my battery to 100% and set it on my desk (using the kickstand not plugged in) and watched a 2 hour movie. When the movie finished my battery was at 75%.

This was a movie on my sd card, not a stream.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bobydole:
finally got my dock, i do NOT believe that dock mode is triggered (unless my config is wonky with dasbamf 3.0)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] calgeek:
Also on VZW website

Looks like the dock is also on VZW's website now. Those of us with a corporate discount should be able to get it cheaper from there and perhaps even at the stores.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rvice:
Is that Dock Mode Lite?

I know while I was messing with resistor values the Dock Modes would get all wonky. Have you tried restarting your TBolt?

Regards to the Kickstand. I think it's mounted that way because the hinge would get blocked by the micro-usb connector if it was on the other side.

I can't get it to trigger with Gingeritis 1.21 either.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] xs11e:
Got it, thanks. Shipping was V*E*R*Y slow, took 14 days(!) but it works very nicely!

I had a similar dock for my HTC HD2 that held the phone vertical, I wish this one did too but the usb port is in the wrong place IMHO in the Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Essenar:
Okay so your argument to the kickstand being a design flaw is, "lol kickstand is supposed to be used on battery". Your argument to a battery not lasting a movie is "lol never heard of a dock?" and your argument to not being able to watch a movie and charge is "lol do it like any android phone without a kickstand".

Never took a philosophy class did you?

A phone with a kickstand was designed to watch videos. Period. There's no other purpose behind a kickstand. Do you text with the kickstand? Browse the interwebs? No. You go on Hulu or Crackle or Netflix, load up a show or movie and then kick out the kickstand and watch.

If you can NOT charge the phone while using the kickstand, you can not watch videos while using the kickstand. That means the kickstand is useless and defective.

If you need a DOCK to charge the phone while watching videos in landscape mode, you are not USING the kickstand. Hence, yet again, the kickstand is USELESS and defective.

If you have to watch videos while charging, without using the kickstand, just like "any other android without a kickstand lol", then yet again, and we see this as a recurring trend, the kickstand is USELESS and defective.

Henceforth, regardless of what blind loyalty trolling you state/post, the kickstand is USELESS and defective.

I am a student, I travel light. I carry my charger and books and not much else. Any more clutter and I might as well be carrying my whole damn bedroom with me. If I have to carry around a dock so I can watch a movie on Netflix between classes, I might as well carry my laptop and at that point, why even have a Thunderbolt to begin with?

There's no LOGICAL reason for the charging point to not be on the bottom of the phone, except for either:

A) The engineers really fudged this up.

B) It was done intentionally to con you into buying a dock.

Seeing as it took MONTHS for the dock to surface and other devices have taken away Thunderbolt's steam, I seriously doubt it's B. Shame on you HTC for dropping the ball.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
I'm sorry that you're so upset at yourself for buying a defective phone.:rolleyes:

Except, it's not defective, and is properly designed.

When used in a (car/home/media) dock, the charging port needs to be on the "bottom" (the standard for Android docking is landscape orientation), so it connects when you dock it. You also need the volume rocker on the top, so you can control volume. The bottom in landscape mode is the left side when held in portrait mode - neither the standard video player nor Netflix will play in any other orientation.

Move the USB port to the other side or top/bottom, and then you can't have a (reasonable) docking solution . Changing the kickstand so it opens from the other side, and the volume rocker is now inaccessible on the bottom, and your videos will be upside down (yes, I know Youtube will adapt, but it's the exception).

The kickstand is intended to be used for video when running under battery power. If you want to charge at the same time, get a dock. Given that it's a $600 phone, a $20 dock isn't anything to complain about, although you do a good job of it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] want a droid:
I understand both points of view above, but I agree that the kickstand is pretty much worthless.

If you're going to use the kickstand, you're probably going to be watching a video/movie that is >2-3 minutes in length. The Thunderbolt battery can't handle streaming/playing a 1.5-2hr movie thus rendering the kickstand pretty much worthless.

I say pretty much worthless because I have used it a few times. Sometimes I'll put the phone vertically with the kickstand and charger on my bedside table with the night clock on. Other then that, I haven't found much use for the kickstand besides flicking it around as a nervous habit.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Essenar:
So the Thunderbolt was designed to have a kickstand for watching Failblog videos and that's it? I can't watch even an episode of Hell's Kitchen before the phone is literally tapped.

It's not about money. I don't care if I have to spend $20 on a dock. What I care about is having a stupid kickstand on my phone that has no purpose. It adds weight and gives me the deceit of being there for a reason. It's like hiring someone to work for you, and they don't do their job and you find out you have to hire someone else to do what they are supposed to do. If that's the case, why don't I just fire the crap out of that first person and not have him wasting space?

It's like buying a $75,000 M3 that has a GPS that can't give you directions while the car is moving. Is "Well you bought a $75000 car so a $200 GPS is nothing" a proper argument to that? Is "Well the GPS is meant to give you directions while you're parked and turn by turn directions when your car is in the back of a truck being hauled." a proper argument to that? No, you pretty much have a GPS in your dash that's completely useless. So why even have it there? They could've attached a propeller to make the phone spin around or a bottle cap opener or a nail clipper. Any of those ridiculous attachments would've at least been more useful than the kickstand.

You're going to tell me a MyTouch 4G can have contact pins to charge and transfer data but a Thunderbolt can't? You're going to tell me an Evo and countless other Android devices by HTC can have a USB port on the bottom and still function with a dock but a Thunderbolt can't? You're telling me that they had enough room on this phone for three antennas, big ass volume buttons but they couldn't move the USB to the other side? The iPhone is significantly smaller than the Thunderbolt and manages to have, what's essentially an inch long USB port, on its bottom.

Why don't you just admit HTC could've designed this thing better?

Is this still the best Verizon LTE Android phone? Absolutely. I wouldn't trade my Thunderbolt for a Charge or Revolution or even the Bionic when it drops. But when you are an honest owner of a device, you can admit its flaws.

I expected better from HTC. I am willing to forget about the lack of an HDMI port or the considerably inadequate battery capacity, but the USB placement with a kickstand is just ignorant engineering.

And it's a $700 phone, just for your information. It might be $570 now but it retailed at $700-750 at launch.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
You can't read, can you? It is well designed. Not coincidentally, Motorola chose exactly the same layout of USB/volume/etc. for their new "kickstand" phone, the Photon 4G, precisely because it's the right way to do it.

Why don't you just admit you're wrong?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] giftedgiggsy11:
Thanks..........
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bthomp21:
like it was said before, the kickstand is for when you watch videos/video chat. they put it that way to get you to buy the dock. its simple marketing.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] 1454:
No, it's not just the location of the USB port itself. It the combo of the kickstand and usb not being able to be used at the same time. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of using the kickstand for long periods, because if you have a low battery there is no way to rectify the issue.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] 1454:
So I need to carry a dock around with me everywhere I go? That kinda defeats the whole purpose of the kickstand doesn't it?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] 1454:
Why won't you? The usb location renders the kickstand useless. Period, end of story. They put it where they did because HTC didn't want you to think the kickstand was meant to be used as a "dock", so to speak. Why would anyone buy the stupid dock if you could charge and use the kickstand at the same time? All the kickstand does now is muffle the speaker for no reason, since it's useless to be used why watching a video more than 30 mins on the standard battery. I have an extended battery, so I can use the kickstand for long periods, but then when I'm done I still have to immediately put it on the charger so as to have battery life when you need it to do something stupid like take a call, you know, like what the phone was originality designed to be used for.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
FYI, the kickstand works just fine without a charger plugged in, since you obviously haven't noticed. Works great for speakerphone and short videos. And, you can use the charger and the kickstand at the same time, just use it in portrait orientation.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gadget!:
Worthless kickstand?

Also, just so you know...

I have 2 full length DVDs ripped and converted to mp4 format and put them on my sd card, they are about 1GB each.

As a test I charged my battery to 100% set the phone on my desk (using the so called "Useless" kickstand) and watched one from beginning to end and used less than 25% of my battery.

Some of you might think the kickstand is useless but I quite like it :D

And I do have a dock in case you're wondering.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bdsaur:
I dig the kickstand especially at work

[Thunderbolt Accessories] simp dogg:
People people people, just get creative with a piece of cardboard or plastic. Make sure it stands about an inch in a half off the ground and drill a hole or punch a hole if cardboard and run your charger cord from underneath. Than use that kickstand, best FREE dock you could have. A nice business card holder works best. Just drill under that sucker.

[Legend General] FatBloke23:
Hi guys,

I managed to break the screen on my beloved Legend. After much hassle with the insurance, I've just got a new one -- and it's the VERY sexy black model!

Problem is, it seems to be set up for the Scandinavian market -- the only language options are English (Norway), English (Denmark), English (Sweden), English (Finland), plus various flavours of Norsk, Dansk, Svenska and Suomi.

Is there any way to get a UK English version on there, without replacing the whole ROM? I got sick of sticking new ROMs on when I was on WinMo, and was hoping to "make do" with the stock Android ROM (+ official updates). Which is why I'm a bit of a n00b.

Believe me, I've Googled around and searched this forum, and can't find anything relevant -- all the hits are going the other way, e.g. "how do I install a Scandinavian keyboard?"

Thanks!

PPS:

The SkyRom was/is my first "experimental" ROM with 200dpi Density.

After Release, many Users notice that the changed Density causes Problems in some App´s.

The possibility to cook a ROM and implement Tweaks is much easier and saver for U without the Density change.

This is the reason why i desided,

to support the SkyRom just with the KF2 Kernel.

So, this will be the first and last 200dpi Density ROM from me!

For those who understand me, i say thank you, for those who not, i´m sorry!

You can looking forward for my new Projekt/ROM

with a Stock Density and some Tweaks.....

200dpi Density>Nice idea..

Just one question though dont you have some apps out-scaled with that changed density?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BMWpokerAce:
I customized the system apps to not be out-scaled :p

Of course there are maybe 2-3 of my apps like "Wecker" (alert) from the market, which is out-scaled.

But thats just my app.

I was to lazy to customize all my personal Apps.

In this Rom is no App out-scaled.

If you find one of the App in This Rom (not your own App´s),

is out-scaled send me a PN, and i will fix that.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! feck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, this ROM has knackered CWR, cant restore my old ROM or install a new one, just sits at ROM manager icon.

update: wont even reboot or power off in CMR, took battery out and now wont boot at all, just goes straight to recoverey, wont boot at all.

UPATE 2

FIX:- reflashed CMR and now ok, seems to corrupt it. Backup to Cog ROM now, not sure I can trust this ROM again.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] chribruu:
The lower the DPI the more you'll be able to fit into the screen. The default DPI on the SGS2 is 240. You can change the DPI on any ROM by editing the build.prop-file. The resoulution however, as someone has already pointed out, is still 800x480. I prefer a DPI of 192 or 200 because of the large 4,3" screen. DPI means dots per inch. But the screen only have 240 dots per inch regardless the dpi setting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] v1rtu4l:
Isn't it the other way around ? more dpi = smaller icons etc

this seems to be just like a "theme" with smaller UI-elements and speaking of a "bigger resolution" is a bit meh, for me.

if decrease the font size in word i do not gain a bigger screen either, even though i do see more o_O
