I think, maybe, the OP is referring to panels pixel density.
[Acer Iconia A500] steal25:
basically just photos and the net, or for example XDA on the net(not the app) the avatars are a little pixelated, just slightly nothing major, but im just wondering if thats how it is or should i try and exchange it?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
They look fine on mine, are you using the stock browser? If you're using Firefox, don't bother. Its renderer is garbage.
[Acer Iconia A500] steal25:
yep thats what im using, besides the stock browser is there anything you recommend?
[Acer Iconia A500] PC PaiN:
Been real happy with Dolphin HD as a browser. I really love Firefox but what it does on the tablet to images just is no good.
[Acer Iconia A500] steal25:
Ill have to check out dolphin and see how that works out, i use firefox on everything,it is a shame what it does to images though. Im on the stock browser now and everything is much clearer.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I've tried them all, and to be completely honest, I always go back to the stock browser. Opera Mobile is quite good (not mini), but I don't like the way it does a few things.

Firefox is truly terrible on mobiles, they really managed to completely screw up image rendering on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Seconded - i have tried them all and I always return to the stock browser. Have yet to find a web page I frequent that stock browser does not work great for.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
+1 here too: the stock browser simply seems to work the best out of all the various browsers available. I would like to use Firefox, but I seriously hate how it screws up images on a device designed with viewing images in mind!

Besides, I quite like the bookmarks widget on my desktop and Firefox doesn't offer such.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
On stock browser here as well - I've never tried any other.

QuickPic has also been the ideal image viewer for me - the stock image viewer isn't all that hot and shows a lot of compression artifacts and pixelation.
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
Can't you set those bookmarks to open in Firefox or whatever browser you want?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Yes, but it would only open the bookmarks I've made in the stock browser, the widget wouldn't show any bookmarks I make in Firefox itself. That kind of defeats the whole idea.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I too agree after installing all browsers the stock browser is best overall.I like Oprah for its speed seems to load pages much faster but that tab in the top left corner is not so user friendly to get to things.well for me anyway. I have not tried any of them since 3.1 update.well other then stock

As far as resolution no issues here at all.most stuff on web and produced for web graphics.will not be without pixilation to some degree
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
She's fast, true enough, but I wouldn't want her on MY tablet! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
Lololol

My thoughts exactly! :-P
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:

Has anyone tried these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00510XVG4/ref=mp_s_a_11?qid=1310099306&sr=8-11

I am hoping someone guineapigged themselves and can give some feedback. I really want to extend my battery but I must have a case, and we don't have a case for the HTC 2100 yet. Not to mention I read in here somewhere it doesn't add that much life.

Anyone?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LowFire82:
I have the extended slim battery from Muegen batteries and love it

Definitely gave me more life than the OE battery

Also ordered their dock with the extra battery slot and couldn't be happier!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The Muegen battery is more than twice as expensive, and out of stock. I'm gonna give the CHICHITEC battery a try. Should get it around Wednesday next week.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LowFire82:
Yeah, a battery is something that I would want to skimp out on and get a cheap one, to only have it malfunction and take my device with it

Never heard of that company either

Seidio also has a slim extended 1750mAh: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17htshf.htm
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I'm generally careful with the battery situation. I also know that these expensive batteries are needlessly expensive. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on the function of these CHICHITEC batteries, and a lot of pride in the name, but that really isn't saying much.

I'll check it out and report back, though. It's pretty cheap so I don't mind incurring the cost. If it catches me on fire or whatever, I'll be sure to warn against it ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mgftp:
I look forward to your review!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gdi2290:
I bought those for my Incredible and use them for my Incredible 2. They're really great they even gave me a coupon for htcexpress.com code OFF10 for 10% ill assume its the same people from Amazon. There are a few problems. There is a small gap on the right side since the battery is bigger and you have to drain your battery until its dead for it to charge efficiently. From my experience I get 24 hours that's two nights just the screen off before root.

sent via rooted Droid Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Any word on that nimdae?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I literally just received it, so I can't review its capacity...

However, I can confirm its fit is not perfect. It is slightly thicker than the stock battery, and this is enough to make the cover bulge on one side. I removed the red label and this allowed it to close enough for my taste. I could probably shave the cover to get a better fit, but eh, not worth the potential damage.

Note: removing the red label exposes a metal cover. More than likely this is not connected to any circuitry nor chemical in the battery so it should be safe to handle and use. However, if you are not comfortable with exposing a metal cover like this, then don't take the label off.

It came charged a little over half full. It's charging now, we'll find out tomorrow how well it works.

I went ahead and dumped a bad review on amazon for the poor fit. Others may not be as comfortable with modding things as I am.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Sorry I'm acting like a kid. I have issues with delayed gratification.

Thanks for the quick reply, I look forward to hearing how you like it in the coming days.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Unless the capacity blows me away, I'll likely return to the stock battery. Yeah, the gap is tiny, but it's stressing the cover. This will wear over time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
You must be running with scissors. I mean running naked...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I'm never not holding scissors when I run.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spike82:
So it id mor 1900mah?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
It's advertised as 1900. I'm not giving it my typical daily commute drain due to having to stay home and wait for A/C repair man in 100+F degree weather (today's high: 103F).

I'll try to put it through its paces once I get a chance.

Edit: I'm running a stream right now that I'd typically listen to on my commute. I have an idea of the amount of drain that should happen so I can compare off of that. It'll take some time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
So far I'm not really impressed with this battery. I would expect the percentage drain would be lower, but it's about the same, if not slightly higher. I'll give it a few more days, if it remains this way, I'm switching back to my HTC battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Did you experience an increase in battery life after the first couple weeks with you OEM battery like I did? If so, would you expect the same "break-in" period with these?

Also, do you know of a way to reset the battery stats without root?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Calibration is the only sure way. Which is why I'm giving this more time. I've continued streaming for the past approximately 2 hours over 3G and I'm at 55%. I'm going to continue draining to see where it stops. I may go ahead and push for a bump charge for recalibration and see if I'm just seeing stats for a lower capacity battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
On the first full charge I got a little over 5 hours of 3G streaming. This is pretty disappointing considering the stock battery can do the same. I am overclocking, but running on the conservative governor, so it shouldn't have been pushing the CPU all the way up (DI.FM streaming shouldn't be THAT CPU intensive). The display was off the majority of the time to emulate how I would actually use it in this situation.

MORE TESTING NEEDED!

I'll do another test this weekend running at stock clock if I get the chance. There's a gaming convention going on this weekend, though, so getting time may be an issue...

I wish I had something to actually test the capacity...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I've done one more test. I've swapped back to the stock battery. I do not recommend this battery. Real world usability does not outweigh the potential damage to your device due to the stress on the cover.

I might check out the Muegen battery as apparently it actually is better and may fit better.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
I have the mugen 1800 and it has anlbsolutely no fit issues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mgftp:
Do you feel like you really get 20% better battery life?

I am considering the 1800 mugen now that there are multiple reports that the 1900 doesn't fit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Are you talking about the 1800 for the original Inc? All I can find for the DInc2 by Mugen is the 3600 mAh battery.

Link?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Thanks! My Google-ing skills leave much to be desired.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
Hmm. I never actually measured out full capacity but I do get a few more hours with it than I do with the stock.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
I get about 19 hours of extremely heave use with my 2100 HTC one. Running miui and screen on time of like 4-5 hours.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] capcoward:
Kind of off topic, but does someone on this thread know how to use the reset battery stats function in recovery to improve battery life?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
This does not improve battery life. Nothing will improve battery life other than an adjustment in usage. This will only adjust battery statistics, such as those used for metering the battery charge level.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I can't believe I have't looked at this before, but I think the batteries from my Eris would fit the DInc2!

That would mean my old 1750mAh from Seidio would work for me.

That also means there are other batteries available to us.

Like this:

http://www.newgenoutlet.com/product...lymer-Battery-for-Most-HTC-Mobile-Phones.html

$10 for real?!

Has to be worth a try, right?

I'll leave that to y'all. I'm going to put my old Sedio 1750 in now...

EDIT:

This is all starting to sound familiar now. Think I read someting about this fit in another thread somwhere.

The Eris battery DOES fit with a slight mod. You need to remove the corner tabs. Not the coolest thing ever, taking a knife to a battery. But not hard. Now I have a 1750 battery for "free". And if the one from the site I posted has the tabs, I wouldn't be afraid of a little nip off the corners.

I know the after can look messy, but it really isn't bad. Besides, it's under the cover.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Be very careful with this. You can end up with backwards connections.

I would recommend taking a meter to each battery to determine what each terminal does and make sure everything maps correctly before plugging it into the phone. Reversing polarity often doesn't cause damage, but it can.

Edit: I guess meter is not necessary. The terminals are marked on both batteries (at least the HTC branded ones), and it's a match.

Carry on, nothing to see here :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Thanks for the heads-up though. Didn't even think of that.

P.S.

I ordered the chichi's right before you gave the thumbs down. Hope I like'm.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
It's a cheap battery and might make a good emergency spare, but I wouldn't make it a primary. I finally got the back cover re-formed to where it isn't loose anymore. The Eris battery fits great once modified, so this gives me 2 good emergency batteries.

Which is good because I'm planning a short trip on my motorcycle. No charging ports on that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmmthmtskier:
Did the above mod with HTC-branded batteries, one for the Eris, the other one for Imagio, Touch Pro2, etc(higher mAh).

Both of these batteries grayed-out the battery indicator with a white exclamation point when installed(Is that a no-no?).

A third battery did fine: A non-HTC(eBay) battery for the Eris.

YMMV...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trunzoc:
sorry to bump an old topic, but...

I got a Evo 1750 battery from amazon for my Inc1. Sure enough it fits the Inc2 with the corner-clip mod (I used a pair of nail clippers). It powers up the phone, but gives an exclamation point over a greyed out battery icon. This didn't happen on the Inc1.

Anyone know a way to get that to go away?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Have you tried wiping/clearing battery status from Recovery & then reboot? Is it fully charged or can you charge it up as installed on the Inc2? Reminds me of the old Moto & LG warning msg. about unauthorized charger inserted ....

After exposing the small plastic corners with your clippers, it didn't exposure elements of the battery components - just excess plastic molding? I'm curious since I just decommissioned my Eris to WiFi only, and got 2 spare Eris/Ozone battery to play with (1300 maH & 1500 maH) so I could save $11 buck by not buying another HTC battery off Amazon or eBay. (Running DR's Zeus rom and getting pretty good standby/usage time as is, but always keep a spare one on hand at all times for contingencies - nature of my work & volunteer status 24/7)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trunzoc:
The clipped part is only plastic. I didn't expose any of the battery's guts.

I try wiping the battery stats and see what happens.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mothy:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...nded-battery-for-htc-desirez-t-mobile-g2.html you can get 3 bucks off with the following coupon code. "myhtc"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trunzoc:
here's a pic of the clipped battery. the bottom-right corner is gone. Just plastic.

I tried to reset the battery stats with the battery installed, but still gives me the exclamation. Probably something to do with whatever spec they use to read battery status has changed for the newer phones.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Thanks for sharing, took an oversized clipper & 2 quick ones later, plus a little sanding to smooth out the edges - my former HTC Ozone (1500 maH) that's been used in the Eris is now in the Inc2. Wipe battery stats. from Recovery & rebooted, like you, still showing the exclamation mark on the upper right corner of the status bar (didn't do that when it was in the Eris replacing the stock 1300 maH battery) Oh, well - this saved me $11 bucks for a backup spare battery that will go into my on-the-go pouch (bluetooth headset, battery & micro-usb charger, etc.) I can, however, still read the battery charge % using the Battery Monitor apps. It's a little fit with the stock battery cover but no problem since I'm using a protective wrap-around case.

** Update ** Using HTC's usb charger, I've noticed that the red charging indicator on top of the device is flashing instead of steady, and the battery monitor is showing a discharge state rather than toward being fully charged. It doesn't look right, so I'm going to put it back in the Eris or Ozone to fully charge it up, and just leave this modified/clipped battery in my pouch as a backup.

I am going to use the stock battery since standby & usage time (30 to 50+ hours, depending .... ) is fairly good for my ROM. This is still useful info to pass along to others migrating from compatible HTC devices with working batteries for emergency backup use. Much obliged.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
You shouldn't use a battery flipped like that. Those batteries have polarities for a reason. Unless you open the battery itself and switch the wires going to the positive and negative terminals you're asking for trouble.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Someone tested the polarity and found they were all the same, he did this a while back, but I personally don't recommend it.

[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
So I've seen a lot of benchmarks of the Sensation's stock browser and it appears to be quite slow, in fact often slower than 1Ghz single core devices. It also has microlags when scrolling on graphically intensive pages.

I managed to find a screenshot of the Sensation running pre release firmware and it actually had a higher Sunspider score of ~4500ms see:

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sensation-benchmarks-with-sunspider-and-quadrant-12145810/

Is there something inherently wrong with the Sensation's firmware that means the browser doesn't use both cores? shouldn't it at least be twice as fast as say the Samsung Galaxy S?

I think perhaps HTC have not made a very good browser because after searching I found this:

http://onlygizmos.com/android-powered-htc-incredible-s-review/2011/04/

The Incredible S also has a terrible Sunspider score.

If you don't try Sunspider you can also try Browsermark which is a more comprehensive browser test that includes all sorts of animations.

Btw my Sensation gets the following scores:

Dolphin HD

Sunspider: 5106.4ms +/- 2.7%

Browsermark: 40735

Opera Mobile

Sunspider: 2630.2ms +/- 2.5%

Browsermark:26832

Stock Browser:

Sunspider: 5749.2ms +/- 2.4%

Browsermark:38424

Firefox Beta:

Sunspider: 2520.0ms +/- 2.7%

Browsermark: 43408
[HTC Sensation] RANDYRKELLY:
Good little insight
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
It's HTC's browser - look at Firefox and Opera. For reference my G2X with CM7 Stock browser get's 2300ms on Sunspider 0.9.1.

And Opera on G2X gets 2000ms

The Sensation hardware is up to the task, it's just the HTC browser :(
[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
Why is the stock browser so bad?
[HTC Sensation] NZtechfreak:
Definitely something up with the browser, I suspect its down to something HTC did Lokhor.

If I clear the cache in the Sensation and SGSII and load the same page the SGSII is a lot faster. It would be interesting to have a pure stock Android 2.3.3 browser too, I supect it will be a bit faster than the Sensation, but not as quick as the SGSII (which Samsung improved with hardware acceleration, the reason it can play 1080p flash in the browser smoothly).

There is a serious problem with text entry in the Sensation stock browser too when its in Desktop UA mode (actually this affects all browsers I've tried).

I've switched to Opera for now, as much as anything because its easier to switch to mobile UA where text entry is required.
[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
I also use Opera Mobile but it doesn't render all pages correctly :(
[HTC Sensation] DDiaz007:
It's because the browser isn't hardware accelerated I believe.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Stock browser is ok for me. The only problem is its always running at back. Need to kill it every time.

Send from: gplus.to/everyday
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Which browsers are hardware accelerated?
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
Opera Mobile for sure.
[HTC Sensation] dosplunder:
Skyfire is where its at for me!
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
No way would the stock browser be faster. The vanilla stock browser is by far the worst browser, especially in gingerbread. It's stuttery and choppy as hell. It's the worst thing about the Nexus S, and is one of the reasons why I now own a Sensation. I'd take the HTC browser any day over vanilla.

That said, hardware acceleration in the browser like that found in the SG2 would be very welcome. I don't think you'll see a browser overhaul until ice cream sandwich though. Prove me wrong HTC.

For more speed, Opera mobile is excellent.
[HTC Sensation] durps:
I dont really like Opera. Lol.

What.are other browsers that are hardware accelerated?
