Actually you are the troll and ACTUALLY your post does say that it's recommended by HTC and actually this isn't news. It's bump charging and actually it means that you'll have to replace your battery sooner. And actually it's one thing to say that something works and one thing to say that it's a recommendation from the manufacturer of the phone.

Trollaz dey gon troll
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
This procedure does make your battery last longer that one time you bump-charged it, but it unfortunately shortens the batteries life...

Here it is in detail:

No need to fight about it :)
[HTC Sensation] C0NAN:
Are you calling me a troll because I post a link about battery facts? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Unrivalled:
Hey OP, thanks for the post. It all depends on your preference anyway. Btw, do you really think we needa factory reset our device? Cos I got a lot of apps installed in my device which are not from market. Thanks in advance. :)
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Very mixed bag "analysis". For so much effort he failed to answer the most basic questions.

Does bump charging the battery once provide a capacity advantage that persists? If so, how much of an advantage? Is it the 15% quoted figure? If doing it once only lasts a while then how often should it be done? And how much would that actually shorten the battery life? If the normal battery life is 1 year, and I can get 15% more capacity each day but shorten the life by 2 months I would bump charge. If it cuts the battery life in half I would still be tempted, since OEM replacement batteries aren't that expensive.

What would be useful is a graph of bump charging frequency, percent increased storage capacity, and battery life. With that information we could make rational decisions.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
When we can root our phones, it's best to charge the phone on the new rom and delete batterystats.bin and let it drain to 0%

That way android knows what is 100% and what is 0% and how many volts it is.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
I think that you should edit your OP so that it does not say that bump charging is recommended by HTC, especially because it can and will lead to damaging your LI-Ion battery's overall lifespan and because it simply isn't true.

This is akin to creating a thread called "HTC phone improvement procedure" and then telling everyone that HTC recommends that they flush their phones down the toilet. Most people probably wouldn't believe you but it'd be pretty terrible if someone did simply because they believe that an experienced forum member wouldn't post mistruths that could lead to damaging their device or components of it, and claim that HTC recommends it.
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
A good info to read about the subject : http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

It has been posted in another thread about batteries.

The more you put charge in your battery, the more you kill it quickly, it's a fact. Everyone is free to do bump charging, but you know the consequences.

The best to do seems to stay around 50 percent of charge, witch is impossible if you're really using your phone in the way it's intended to be. So, in my humble opinion, the best way is to use te phone when needed and charge it when shut down (e.g. at night) before it falls under 15-20%. Charging each night seems to be the way intended by the manufacturer indeed.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Yeah, I've read that. But I don't own a phone just to maximize the life of my battery. Like I said before what's lacking is the actual trade-offs of bump charging. How much daily capacity is achievable, and at what cost to battery life?

No one wants to replace a battery every month, but once every year or two wouldn't bother me if I could get 15% more capacity each day. But spending hours every week bump charging isn't an attractive thought either.

Without all the relevant facts and figures of what can be gained and lost it's just myths, rumors and guessing.
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
I'm using Quick System Info Pro : this software gives you actual voltage of your battery --> you can see with the BatteryUniversity graphics where you are on full bump charge (after a given step you cut the battery life from a half, which is significant)
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
i took my battery out for hr then charged overnight, gone down to 70% after 5hrs usage(games, weather sync every 3hrs, calls, messaging) past few days it would be at 40% after 5hr period same usage, wasnt happy but my friend(tmobile rep) said pull battery out for hr and charge overnight...seemed to have done the trick fyi had my phone for 3wks with bad battery(so i thought) hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] Dolphinwigs:
its just a one time thing. doing so everyday would be bad for the battery. ive done this with some phones and not with others. i do it when i first get the phone to maximize the battery then delete/re-calibrate my battery stats. seems to be the most accurate for my battery readings.

i'm very familiar with battery university's website. i do not consider this bump charging because the procedure is different and it is only needed once. its not a constant plug/unplug ever couple of minutes to "bump" the battery charge up. the charge left from bump charging is called a "surface charge" like the "surface" of a pond. just that little top off. pointless since the battery will just decrease really fast at some point during the cycle to make up for looking like its fully charged for so long at the beginning. plus HTC recommended it for their own product so thats good enough for me :)
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
just wondering
[HTC EVO 3D] rugedraw:
Different screen technologies. The Evo uses a parallax screen which blocks one eye from seeing what the other eye can see which creates the 3D effect. See here for more info:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_barrier
[HTC EVO 3D] Axe-08:
Hence when you close one eye you lose 3d because you arent seeing one of the images at all. And when you are looking at 3d media if you change the viewing angle a lot the image will flutter.

sent from my EVO3d
[HTC EVO 3D] clavoie26:
It's magic LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] sabixx:
because the 3d on the evo is a gimmick,and 3d on tvs is not.
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
TV uses glasses with a shutter IIRC, wherein the glasses simulate a left/right motion or up/down (or both) 120+ times a second to help create the 3d effect.

Or I could be totally wrong, I'm just trying to recall what I was told....

As per... http://discusstech.org/2011/01/how-does-a-3d-tv-work/

All I know, my head hurts when watching too much 3D on an in-home 3D TV.

EVO 3D it isn't too bad.
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
Cool

And the reason why they don't make TV's like this?
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
Proximity... You'd need to remain in a relative position to have optimum viewing of the displayed media for the EVO 3D.

I can sit in almost any location where our 3D TV is located and have a decent view of the screen still.

EVO 3D, I have to keep it in a good somewhat consistent location to view it decently.

The wikipedia posting above has a lot of good information for how our phones work.
[HTC EVO 3D] simpat1zq:
Because the screen on the 3vo requires your eyes to be between certain distances from the screen, and facing it head on in order for the effect to work. With TV, people will all be watching from different angles and distances, so it won't work for that.
[HTC EVO 3D] umbra6:
Toshiba is working on glasses free 3dtv. They had a prototype of them at this past CES in January. It worked pretty good and you didnt have to stay in one spot or view it face on.
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
I can't find the link (more like too lazy right now), but it was just out at a convention in China I believe...

if you have your 3D picture or video from 3VO and put on computer, is there any glasses that you can use to view the 3D?

[Fascinate Android Development] CamdogXIII:
I was just going to post and ask for a guide to be adapted from the post in the charge forums ;-) except, don't we have a valid PIT file for the fascinate?

I definitely see myself using this, simply because with all the different versions of clockwork out there, and MTD vs BML, nandroids don't seem to be a one click solution.

Thanks for the guide!
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
I know we have a valid .pit file for certain Odin packages. I'm unsure if they can be used universally (across froyo builds) though. If we can get a concrete answer that they can, I would be more than happy to update the guide further.
[Fascinate Android Development] CamdogXIII:
ah, ok. Didn't think about that part. And does this matter if we have voodoo installed or no?
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
I'm voodoo'd. I tested it on my own device and didn't run into any issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
Btw, P3 release an application that does EXACTLY the same thing as this. If you feel comfortable following instructions you can save yourself the $2 by following this guide.

You could even make a shell script to do those commands to make it easier for people, and it would probably take some more people away from p3's app.

can it be done? if so let me know. thanks.

i think you guys misunderstood me, i edited the post so it makes more sense.

i wanna know if i can get her full internet access on her phone without having to change her ad on feature.

thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
You should be able to use wifi for free without a data plan. Menu > Settings > Wireless and Networks, just trun on wifi and you can download as much as you want. You just can't use 3g/4g without a data plan unless I'm mistaken.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Krayvon:
.

not true, she has a data ad on her account right now (thats how she was getting data on her flip phone)

i was hoping a dedicated way around it not just utilizing wifi.

i use to get full data on my n95 with "tzone" back in the day. and i was only paying 6 bucks a month and got unlimited internet and 3g :)

i know there is a way around it, just need to ask the right person:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
So, what you think is that all of us are too stupid to know about a way to get free data if there was one? Our phones are rooted, hacked, Undervolted, OC'd and modified to death. But for some reason we all missed the free interwebz..... ........more dot.......Dots.......some dots againz...

She is on a smart phone now. It can download easily 5 and 6 gigs a month. ATT isn't going to let you do it for free.... And the data plans aren't just 30 bux. There are 15, 25, and 35.. Each for certain types of users. 15 is 200mb, 25 is 2000mb, 35 is tether and 4000mb

Those are your choices. Notice free is not one of them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Krayvon:
wow

wow. i would say thanks but you didn't tell me anything new. you just whined and *****ed. i put it in Q&A to get advise and learn something new not criticism from some douche. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahm12:
long story short, u might be able to get a data access with watever plan she has right now...

but att has a list imei of smartphones, as soon as you gonna put in your sim in the inspire within two days they will add a 15$ plan period..

there is no way around it..
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
There is not a whine in the post. Just facts.

1. You think ppl are stoopid.

2. You want free.

3. You aren't gonna get it.

4. The only douche is you. Not once did I criticize you. You can't even comprehend what you read.

Whine example;

waaaa. I want free interwebz, waaaaa.

See the difference?

P.S. Now I'm making fun of you, more so then criticizing. Just in case your comprehension skillz still haven't kicked in.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjetjock:
TB owner, using the GB version of VirusROM (aka Synergy). Was previously using Gingeritis.

In both cases, when creating a calendar event, the screen only allows for setting 1 reminder.

The stock OS, as well as the ROMs I used when on my Motorola DROID, allowed setting multiple reminders. GMail still allows multiple reminders, so they aren't the culprits.

So is there something wrong with the leaked GB stuff, such that it has inadvertently restricted itself to one? If so, then simply tell someone to fix it, right? :rolleyes:

Many thanks in advance for your response!

I appreciate the info. I'm really looking for a solid phone-to-desktop video chat client that has NOTHING to do with Yahoo--I abandoned them some time ago, and none of my contacts use them, either.

It just feels like the Google and Skype devs don't care whatsoever about our devices. I understand that the Tegra chips are sort of new in the Android world, but it feels like they are just being ignored when it comes to apps that utilize the hardware.

Unless I'm missing something here, the GTalk part of Fring doesn't allow video calls. I am completely not interested in phone-to-phone video calls, as no one I know has a phone with a front-facing camera. I'm looking for phone-to-desktop solutions, and I don't see a desktop Fring client--not that I'd accept that option because Google and Skype are fully capable of video calls. If my contacts have to sign up and install some new service then this is still a failure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Nope. They don't need file renaming. You just need one file to be put in the framework folder and that's it.

Does that also mean you can update to the final version and keep data?
[7 Mozart General] HTCalltheway:
everything i came across works, except tweeter.

when the RTM mango comes, all beta mangos will need to restore back to nodo+ (3892), then update to final build. so everything you've done in beta mango won't stay. however most things done on wp7 are always backed up at other places (live, pc...), the only things i can think of that will be lost are game progress, and application settings.
