I agree. It's a fantastic upgrade and the new skin is slick....my only complaint is that homescreen scrolling isn't as fast as I expected. The forest LWP is a little slow, and pinch to zoom on stock camera gallery isn't as good as my previous phone or 3rd party market apps
[Atrix 4G General] falconeight:
its is an amazing difference
[Atrix 4G General] ayaskant12:
before making the plunge I wud like to know from u guys about the screen gradient issues

is it solved??

like skin tones appeared really odd and washed out

I thot it was a software issue as the screen grabs also showed them on my PC

that was a big gripe for me but for the otherwise near perfect phone

and ya camera quality was also really poor
[Atrix 4G General] jbrussee:
Are you talking about kenns?
[Atrix 4G General] ayaskant12:
dunno whom u are asking but am still on froyo

wud love to hear that screen issues are solved

leaving aside the pentile issue as SGS also has pentile but looked better

Battery life is the biggest improvement forvmr
[Atrix 4G General] badboydiablo:
I freakin love the new ROM. Thanks KP!
[Atrix 4G General] Pat123:
They have made a smart move by selecting a color scheme that greatly reduces the effect of the inherent technical limitations of a Pentile LCD! Its better than Froyo but I guess only because of the color scheme they have decided to go with!
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Even if the color scheme didnt change its 10 times better. Im tired of the complaints about the phone, go get a different one and/or dont complain about this one. We dont care to hear it.
[Atrix 4G General] xandr115:
Loving the new rom so far. I do think the cardock app got worse (looks better, but fewer custom buttons). I love how you can uninstall apps using a long press from the app drawer.

I'm also looking forward to trying the ignore call, respond with text option.

Last thing, wish the default music app worked with Google Music Beta... installed the Google one instead.

[Atrix 4G General] HSFlik:
Overall, this seems to be working pretty fantastically for me except for a few things.

- Contact List can get REALLY slow sometimes. (15 seconds to load up a contact's information!)

- Unlocking (the screen, not the phone) can get slow, as well as Facebook and a few other apps. Haven't fully tested yet.

Is this happening to anyone else?
[Atrix 4G General] stonec11:
So far, i'm loving the new blur, everything is working fine for me.but i hope this is not the final blur version, because i was watching a demo of blur for droid3 on youtube it looks a little bit better then this. The swipe between screens was different and the quick contact widget was different and more useful.
[Atrix 4G General] hem.acharya:
are you sure about the battery life part.. i got a bad battery life thats the reason why i flashed it back to froyo 2.2.2 ( 1.83 sbf ) .. if you are also using kenneth's beta release >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159385

and if u also talking abotu kenneth's beta one. fingerprint reader doesn't work for me

I'm pretty sure is not talking about the ken release.
[Atrix 4G General] ayaskant12:
ohh so its all about the color scheme that's chosen now!!

neways I will wait till the official release

bit scared by the hard brick numbers
[Atrix 4G General] grave101:
You only hard brick if you try to do the OTA. If you use kennethpenn's method using CWM with an unlocked bootloader you'll have no problem.

[Atrix 4G General] coastalmikey:
I have to say the ability to unlock the bootloader and a working GPS I finally sold my Captivate and switch to the Atrix. I am actually satisfied running the nearly official release since I have been running custom rom on the Captivate.

Flashing is not as easy as the Zoom or the Galaxy S...but I am glad Motor made the blur less intrusive.
[Atrix 4G General] loderjm:
Camera much improved.

Everything else working smooth.

I flashed KP's updated radios taking me from N_01.77.15P that came with his 4.5.91 rom to N_01.77.30P, but now my connection seems more jumpy and I'm not getting as good of download speeds. Anyone else update the radios after his 4.5.91 rom experiencing this?
[Atrix 4G General] hem.acharya:
then which one we are talking about here?.. where is the link to download that
[Atrix 4G General] lostlegend1717:
Great O.S.

Its work almost perfect for me I have ATT 4.5.91 beta 4.5 from briefmobile

I can't go to location and security(settings) becuase the fingerprint reader is not working. any ideas? Battery is much better, and performance too(I don't see any lags yet).

Can you please comment if you have battery jumping issues and if you have high "phone idle" in battery usage?
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Battery level "jumping" - no.

Highest battery usage = "phone idle" - yes. BUT THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE.

People don't seem to understand how Android displays battery usage. What that says is, of the 100% of battery energy used since you turned on/rebooted the phone, X % was allocated to each of these things. So if "Phone Idle" says 75% and has the full bar, that just means that the phone was sitting idle for a long time as compared to the other things you were doing on the phone. If you for example turned your screen on and then kept the phone from turning it off, through an app or the display timeout setting to never, pretty soon "Display" would have the highest % usage.

When I first got my EVO back on Sprint last year everyone complained of the same thing because no one understood - for many folks it was there first Android device and I suspect the same is true of the Atrix as it has been heavily advertised and was available very inexpensively soon after launch.
[Atrix 4G General] raghavsethi:
The Atrix now has tap-to-focus!

Totally undocumented and awesome new feature!

My brother was just playing around with the phone and he discovered that if you drag the box in the camera app, it changes the camera focus when you click.

It's not instant, like the iPhone's, but it really works : look at the pictures below.

I really hope this was because of the 2.3.4 update, otherwise I just made a fool out of myself :o

One focuses on the mouse, and the other on the background.

I don't understand why so many people jumped onto the official update.... you're just screwing yourself over. Why not wait a few days and let the devs pull the bootloader out so then we can enjoy a safe and unlockable gingerbread.
[Atrix 4G General] eclypse3demons:
Believe it or not man but some people do not really need their bootloader unlocked to enjoy their phone, even just enabling sideloading is enough =)

But I see your point. You can also look at it this way the devs could also find a work around later for those who did the OTA as well. Since there will be released versions to the public that will have GB on it anyway.

Personally I love the new animation when the phone gets locked, the old school tv screen shut off. its the little things :p
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
The official Gingerbread is plenty unlockable; you just can't flash older SBFs. Big whoop.

Hi,

I Just have small doubt...Can we port Desire HD ROMs to HTC Incredible S as the most of the Specs are similar to Desire HD apart from the screen size and front camera.

If the answer is no is there any tool to test them so that we can successfully port them to Incredible S.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Incredible S] jul644:
You can but fairly simply ie you don't need to code anything but the backlight on the buttons won't work they need custom code same for camera , that's short and sweet search on here xda for android kitchen or cooking for begginers
[HTC Incredible S] ali3nfr3ak:
u can swap in the services.jar and framework-res.apk from IncS with the ones from DHD for the lights to work, same with the camera from IncS,

infact all you need to do is keep all the IncS files except for app + framework, copy and paste the app + framework from DHD , swap in camera, services.jar and framework-res.apk from IncS and you are good to go...well thats what i did and everything seemed to work ok,.. for stock rom anyway

I just received my Anker battery from Laptopmate (ebay) today.

And surprisingly when I look on the cover, it seems there is a print out that is transparent from the back..and it shows number 1700.

Does it mean the real capacity of this Anker battery is only 1700 mAh?

The whole printout reads:

H0545148AR

TIF09NF1700 (I can't read clearly the first 3 letter on this second line)

Can anybody who receive this battery confirm this?

Does yours also show similar printout?

I attached the pictures for you to see.
[HTC Sensation] jim13524:
Very interesting, I was going to ask someone whether they would tear off the labels on their batteries to look for serial numbers.

I've purchased 3rd party batteries in the past that had labeled capacities that were exaggerated versus the data sheet corresponding to the serial number printed underneath the label.

I believe that 545148AR may correspond to the battery listed in this document,

.

Here is a description of the datasheet from a different datasheet I have from the same company.

It would be interesting if someone can measure the dimensions and weight of the battery and compare it to the datasheet values to determine whether its the same battery or not. If the true capacity is actually 1650mAh, I would not be surprised at all based on my experiences with 3rd party batteries.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Guys I think the biggest thing to keep in mind about these Anker batteries, is that it seems to be a fairly unanimous consensus that these "1900" mAh batts are giving people longer cycles.

I spent a few hours today reading ALL the posts about every 3rd party battery for the Sensation, including the Evo 3D batts that work in the S4G. This Anker seems to have to mostly positive reviews by XDA members. Ya its a roll of the dice....but for under $20 to have possibly 4-7 extra hours....that's well worth it. I purchased one today....when it comes, ill give my results.

That faint number you see, that no one else seems to have noticed in the thread on Anker, could very well just be a random number....who knows.

Main thing....it seems to act like a 1900mAh battery ;)

i have ripped my label off will post picture shortly

Hoping to love this $18.99-worth

I just bit the bullet and purchased this from amazon.com. For the price point as long as it gives any increase in battery life -and- doesn't set my phone on fire, this will be a worthy investment. As a newly converted blackberry user, battery life on android os devices just kills me. When I get the battery I'll post an update.

First post on xda FTW!
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
why did you feel the need to open a new thread about this when we already got more than one about the anker 1900mah battery?
[HTC Sensation] jim13524:
My only concern with that is that its all just anecdotal evidence, no one here has tested the battery under controlled conditions with the appropriate equipment. Can we really reliably tell +100mAh from +400mAh based on peoples undefined estimates like "light usage, heavy usage", not to mention bias. Ultimately though, it probably won't matter to people as long as they think they're getting better battery life, which they probably are, but maybe not as much as they think they are.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
+1

I am also very skeptical about the 3rd parties and how they "feel", once again I will direct people to this test, Battery Boss where many popular 3rd party brands are tested to have only 70-82% of advertise capacity.

However every oem battery tested is around ~96% of listed capacity.

Sure its only 10 or $20, but I would rather put that money towards a battery with a 'true' rating.
[HTC Sensation] gottabekin:
Yes it will blow up definitely
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Let us not forget that if you turn your HTC battery over, it says...Made In China.

These Anker batteries probably come from the same manufacturer as HTC branded ones.... well it's very possible at least.

Seems like some people think that because it's Chinese...it's inferior to the oem HTC batts. One and same :p
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
$40 versus $10, one and the same? Maybe, but more likely wishful thinking. Remember you're trusting guys who are lying about the mAh ratings.

http://batteryboss.org/
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
Well, i can tell you this: Stock my BEST day was 14 hours with two hous of "screen on" (use) time. My first day on an Anker was 14 hours with 3 hours "screen on" (use) time.

Today, my second day on the Anker and I am at 64% at 9 hours with just over 1 hour screen on time. I will leave work in an hour with probably at least 58% left. i NEVER left work with more than 38% with my stock.

Is it a true 320more mAh? Dunno. Do I get better battery life? Absolutely. Worth $21 for 2 batterys and a charger? Most most most definitely.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
If you even get the same battery life as OEM for $10 I'd say it's worth it. If it's significantly better that's a great deal.
[HTC Sensation] BattleMantis:
Anybody else that has bought one care to post their comments here? Are they worth it in your opinion?
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
If nobody else has dencided to take up the challange I will, I am going to charge both batteries to full charge, turn the phone on full brightness, Wifi on, and leave a program running (a graphics test ot somthing) and see how both batteries fair.

the only time I can do this mind is over the weekend, if someone else has the time to do it beforehand then feel free :) buti feel that this would a much better way of judging battery life other than 'High usage', 'moderate usage' ect...

I do however feel I got more battery life from the Anker than the stock battery, so I feel the numbers are simply just part of the product ID and people are flapping over nothing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanED69:
ok so you know when you block ads and you get that annoying green android guy and all that text crap? while i was looking around i found a framework-res.apk that removes the text and only shows the green guy. it works in apps too. but im afraid to flash it because idk what it will do to my phone. because it was for a whole different phone. if somebody could look at the framework-res.apk and tell me the code used that would be great. could help me and others. thankyou.

Sprint Promotion: Renew Your Contract And Get Credit For A Free Month Of Service

While we're on the subject of why Sprint is the carrier to go with nowadays ($50 contract extension credit "just because," unlimited data without expensive and complicated tiers **cough Verizon cough**, great customer service, etc.), I wanted to throw yet another reason for existing Sprint customers to stick around.

Side-by-side with the $50 credit promo that I mentioned above, it turns out that the company is running a different deal in parallel that pays you for a month of free service right back to your account upon contract renewal for 2 more years. It does not affect your phone upgrade eligibility at all and is a very effective retention tool, so you can ask for it now, even if your contract still hasn't expired, get the contract renewed, then grab a new phone later). This promotion works only for primary lines, so if you're part of a family plan, only the main phone number can benefit (in contrast, the $50 credit works for any line).

Tipped by Jason in the $50 credit post, I called up Sprint to renew the contract on one of my lines and asked them about the free month instead of the $50. The CSR knew exactly what I was asking about, though she wasn't sure just how long this deal is available for.

If you're near or past your contract expiration, give Sprint a call (*2 from your handset or 1-888-211-4727 from any phone) and ask about this promotion - it can save you quite a bit of cashish.

Note: The credit applies only to the basic cost of your plan and doesn't include any fees or add-ons. For example, my $129.99 family plan ends up costing me about $170 after all add-ons. For me, only $129.99 would be refunded.

Let us know how much you end up saving and good luck!

[HTC EVO 3D] verse1965:
Very True

This is true and I can add that the Sprint memo stated they were targeting customers who are within 1 to 2 months of there contract/eligibility. Then they could take advantage of their upgrade once it's reached.

Great post and good move from Sprint

At one point they were giving $70/line, which would add up to more than the free month thing.

Nope didn't work for me. I just called sprint and they told me they had never heard of the deal/promotion. I even called back to talk to a different rep and he said the same. Then I asked for a supervisor and he said the same. So this is the info I received. Gonna try back tomorrow and see if it works??

[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
Ok... i verfied that myselft and there are not free service for a month... but the good news are that i end up getting a 70 credit for renewing(AGAIN LOL).

June 21, when i ordered my phone, i came online i asked them for the renewal service credit, and they gave me 70$ dollars credit.

Then today i asked them about credits for renewing, etc, and asked them if i qualify, and they told me that i dont qualify becuase i already renew(they should said that i didnt qualify becuase they already give me the credit on June 21), and then becuase i didnt qualify i asked them about the 30 days return or cancel, and then she said she was going to talk with Supervisor for the credit and Bingo, got a 70$ credit! LOL
