[Defy General] hali2:
the problem is already here. when i go to the account setting i can't choose push in "refresh frequency".

Before, when i was on stock rom i have this option.

I don't know if the problem comes from the cyanogen rom or the 179 sbf rom that i flash before installing cyanogen.
[Defy General] hali2:
Any ideas :(
[HTC EVO 3D] firestetz:
Just fyi I found out today that the blockbuster app will not let you buy or rent movies if you are rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] akiradavis:
Good thing you can always do your root stuff reboot then be unrooted again to use the app, benefits of temp root
[HTC EVO 3D] unkn0wnz:
I don't think a lot of people were gonna use it since you can convert movies to watch in 3d on the phone....I know I wasn't.
[HTC EVO 3D] firestetz:
I know it's not a big loss (considering they have no 3d movies right now or at least none that I have found) but my thought on it is how many other services that people with this phone and others use could start doing this.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
There will always be a way around it once we are s-off.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spike82:
because i can't use my dinc2 for more than a day, i would like to try a bigger battery so i do that....

i bought this battery

http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200613673603&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

before buying I asked the seller if it is really 1930mah and he say yes,

arrived, charged and used 3 times...

i feel really upsetted, the battery is not enought big to hold the charge for a day!

so i try to charge the original one and that one with my triton2 li-po charger....

surprise... the orignal hold a charge of about 1300mah after 20 and more charges, the new one (1930mah claimed and max 10 charge) not goes over 950mah.... it's a fake! don't buy!

i will try other batteries and let you know....

p.s. with this battery the inc2 says that there is battery problem with a battery icon with a "!" on the home screen...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mgftp:
Thanks for the info. I have been searching for a stock sized battery for more juice but am kinda assuming HTC is going to put the best they can in their phone and that everything I see around the 1800 or 1900 mark is a fake. I know Seido makes a 1750 that is $40 which might be alright though. Anyone, keep on reviewing if you try something.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spike82:
;-)

i'm almost ready to buy that ....

http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220648053953&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

when they will arrive i will make the same try and let you know....

As I mentioned in another thread discussing something similar, I'll be trying out one of these soon:

I'll report back with results.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Flappyraccoon:
I'm not sure why I didn't originally post this here since I have an Incredible 2 but the Mugen Power 3600mAh battery works really well for me. I go 35-50 hours on one charge depending on usage. The most I went with minimal use was 57. I wrote a review of it later in this thread

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
yeah.. don't allow the door to fully close. almost, but not completely.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Was it actually a chichitec battery? I'm getting the impression based on info from them that they have a problem with knockoffs emulating their products that aren't to their specs. I bought mine direct from chichitec on Amazon and should get it today or tomorrow so I'll see if it fits as advertised.

Someone else posted about a similar experience so now I'm curious how mine will be. Maybe I can get away with a slight case modification...if needed...we'll see when I get it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
if you do figure out some sort of case mod, please post back, it would be nice to be able to use these batteries.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
It sounds like the gap left is very minor. I have a dremel tool that should make quick work of the case without destroying it...hopefully.

Just in case...can replacement back covers be purchased?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
yeah i'm pretty sure verizon sells them for like $20-25

and yeah, the gap is really quite small, but still defintiely there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I'm looking at the back cover now to see what tolerances I have to work with. I don't think it would be possible. I was hoping maybe there might be some minor support bars or something to grind out, but there is actually a battery indention in the cover already. That area of the cover is already quite thin.

We'll see when I get the battery. If it comes down to it I will try to contact the company or something. If it doesn't fit properly, it's not as advertised ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I originally had LeeDriod ROM on my Desire which worked well, and WiFi was always showing 3 bars (full) when at home. Now I've tried Oxygen and Gingervillian, which I like but only get 1 or 2 bars on WiFi at best (Oxygen seems to be the worst though I like the ROM.

I'm currently on MIUI ROM but only get 2 bars max. Does this mean that I should change my Radio? I'm confused by radios and wouldn't know what to change to if this is what I need to do.

My current radio is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Any suggestions please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:

EDIT: Found the answer to this now
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
I plan to buy the Sensation out right in the next few weeks and sell my G2x to make up for some of the cost and make the purchase smaller.

I have two routes.

Get this Sensation from Expansys, and enjoy 100% what HTC intended with Sense, with no bloat. Along with no Carrier branding. I wouldn't have to pay taxes. A potential to get an S-Off version as well. If I go this route I will make this the first phone I add to my collection of phones.

Or

Go in store and purchase it out right and have bloat and carrier branding, but be required to pay taxes. If I go this route I will sell this phone once the next big thing hits T-Mobile in order to reduce overall price for new phone.

I live in Nevada and taxes are usually pretty high and make the purchase price more. What are some thoughts on this?
[HTC Sensation] r3awak3n:
i got mine from radio shack online for 500 bucks after tax which is at least 80 bucks cheaper than both options. Otherwise i prob get the tmo one, just in case something goes wrong
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Well hombre,

the one from expansys isn't 4G compatible, where as the tmo branded one is. If that's not a deal breaker than throw the S-Off dice and get the unbranded one.
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
Really? The unbranded Sensation doesn't have HSPA+ capability?
[HTC Sensation] armanderli:
Get yourself a Galaxy S II
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
I need T-Mobile Compatibility and that is way over budget too. Even if I can afford it.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Check your own link man, I clicked it and read the specs.
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
All I saw was band compatibility and it didn't say much else other than speeds it can download and upload. I saw on GSM Arena and both have the same network compatibility (HSDPA) which leads me to believe that GSM Arena needs to update its info. Both have same download and upload which leads me to believe that 14.4mbps download is accurate. Either way, its still going to download from the network fast.
[HTC Sensation] kylez64:
From the tech data

"Network5 HSPA/WCDMA: Europe/Asia/T-Mobile US: 900/AWS/2100 MHz Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz"

Go through customer care or radio shack. My final price was 600$ at the T-mobile store
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
Unbranded it is then lol. I shoulda went with you when you got it kyle lol.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I bought mine outright instore. £470 simfree from carphonewarehouse :D
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
I ordered mine off the T-Mobile website for a final price of $600
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
Agreed. I love this phone, but the SGSII simply has it beat in every single aspect (besides the qHD of course).
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
I cant spend that much for a phone. I just cant, the amount I would make back from selling the G2x wouldn't be much to dent the total cost.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
I would just get one locally, some people are selling some identity theft-obtained ones or using their upgrades to make some cash.. and they're going for OK amounts of cash.

The Sensation 4G has better reception due to the extra antenna for Receive Diversity
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
Nah I want a recipt and proof of purchase security and returnability. G2x was boughr off hand and I could have returned for buyers remorse but I had to ship to original owner, long story short I want security.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
just putting in my 2 cents...thumbs up for purchasing outright...i've been on that cycle for years and get brand new phones every year to 14 months for half price but selling my previous handset

i bought the sensation last week brand new (unlocked, unbranded, unbloated) for AUD $499, and sold my HTC Desire for $300 (because again it was unlocked, unbranded, etc)...$200 for a Sensation is a sweet deal to me

i usually buy from Hong Kong or UK online

i got the Sensation here - ordered on sunday, arrived by fedex on thursday

[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Don't buy the sensation you will miss all the root apps dearly :( fyi this phone gonna stay locked for a long time.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
meh...i rooted my desire only so i can have gingerbread...now that i have it native, what am i missing out on by not having root? unlocked phone don't have any features disabled

i can't take screenshots and i can't use titanium...that's the only difference for me
[HTC Sensation] Richilew:
I know you guys are talking about buying it outright but I just had to share my experience.... I went to the T-Mobile store and got them to price match Walmart's price of 148.88 and he told me to bring in proof and he would give me back the difference, in the meantime I went ahead with a normal upgrade of 249.99 with the mail in rebate of $50 I brought the proof in the next day and was credited back $101 and still got my rebate card back of $50 making my total purchase of the phone $98.88 with a 2 year contract of course...
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Get it from craigslist, and remember that it has stock warranty for 1yr from HTC, even if you got it from ebay or craigslist. Just make aure that the VOID sticker is still there and its untouched :-)
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Can't use chainfire ,set cpu,and can't control **** like getting rid of some system apps ,plus u can't flash custom roms.
[HTC Sensation] OberonSnowcat:
You're not in the target audience for this device than... some of us don't mind using Sense or HTC devices. I bought mine outright from Bell Canada and am quite happy with it. Perhaps you want to wait till they remove the lock on the bootloader before purchasing a phone like this.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Been outta contract since T-Mobile was called Voicestream.

I got my phone for a sweet price from my T-Mobile friend....:-)

Nobody can beat my price lol.

I'll never tell
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Go to the marketplace. They go for $400-$445 shipped. Cheaper than eBay or tmobile. Tell them CharlieB sent u.

:-)
[HTC Sensation] Richilew:
I agree I don't mind the Sense, I only needed root for my HD2 to flash Android.. If I had root on this phone it would probably only to overclock it and remove the bloatware that tmobile puts on it other than that the phone has been great :D
[HTC Sensation] mitchsurp:
Wait for craigslist to catch up. I paid $250 cash, no contract extension.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Good possibilities in the xda marketplace...
[HTC Sensation] tsunami1609:
Ebay

I've used ebay recently for a lot of purchases, my Sensation 4g included. Honestly, you just need to look and have a weeks worth of patience. I got my brand new, sealed in box sensation (plus expedited 2-day shipping) for $450. All you need to do is set up your search for new (no like-new substitutes - must be unopened), do a quick review of the seller's history, and bam new phone plus an extra $150 for accessories :D
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
That's exactly what I plan to do. What would you use for warranty? HTC like how the N1 was? Or the site you bought it from? That site is much cheaper than my previous options.

To all others:

The only reason I don't want to buy used (for now until I have money for the next device) is because I want to be the one who sees it brand new, and opens it and has the receipt and proof of purchase in case I want to return it. I could have returned the G2x but I couldn't because I wasn't the original purchaser, and I would have to return it to the store. I could have gotten the upgrade the dude used to get it and got the sensation instead but I couldn't. So for now I want to buy a new device only.
[HTC Sensation] serialtoon:
What i did at first was buy one out right at a Tmobile store. Then i returned it and got the free sensation deal the other night. Opened a new account, got free sensation. Just waiting for 30 days to pass so i can cancel the service and boom. $200 ETF + $35 Activation Fee + $59.99 month service = $295 Sensation 4G :-D
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
I want it quick and simple lol. Just a raw straight up purchase.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
you won't be able to return it unless there is something wrong with it out of the box...if you want the privilege of no-questions-asked returns, i suggest you get one from a retail store
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
That's what I meant. So how much is shipping usually, and the price might be quite high from that site you linked since I am in the US. The price for the Sensation + shipping might be as much as it would be on Expansys.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
i got my flat out, from a TMO store, but i needed AWS to work on wind, so it wasnt really a "choice" per se, but i needed to excellent specs to justify paying that much to upgrade from my HD2...glad i did it tho, the sensation has an excellent build quality (*samsung owners: NO PLASTIC CASING!) and its speed has been top notch.

...the only downside is that i live in canada, so itll be going straight to HTC in georgia for repairs, etc. :(
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
i paid $499 plus $20 Fedex, Hong Kong to Australia
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
That's a Chinese based website? I only took a quick look.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
HK is chinese (now...again)
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
Yeah, I was just making sure, some times people store their product somewhere other than their base location, and ship from the warehouse.
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
Just bought the sensation from Expancys! :D It gets to me Thursday! I am excited!

hi can you post a tutorial on how to s-off my device. I'm noob at this. I'm currently downloading ubuntu installer for windows. Thanks
[HTC Desire S] GermanDZ:
1) have an ubuntu available (I use ubuntu 11.04)

2) install OpenJDK (java) on ubuntu (if you dont have Java yet)

3) download the Android SDK from developer android website

4) untar (tar xvf filename.tgz)

5) run tools/android

6) install 'Android SDK Platform-tools' and 'Android Compatibility package'

7) make sure your Desire is in USB Debug mode

8) run 'platform-tools/adb devices', and expect to see 1 device, I have one named '???????' but works for me

9) download and run alpharev (as root with sudo)

10) copy the serial from alpharev and get the key in alpharev website

11) introduce the key in command line

12) some reboots and get s-off!!!!

13) installs clockworkmod recovery if you want

xx) Profit!

no... wait we are not in slashdot
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
I wouldn't bother installing linux, just do it from a cd. No need to install sdk or adb or anything other than alpharevx.

Okay, COMPLETE ubuntu noob here, so after downloading alpharevx.tgz which is aparently a GTAR file, what do i need to do? Because it wont open as if its an exe file because not windows (herpaderp). Is there a command line im meant to type or am i just being silly?

Thanks in advance.

Extract to a directory or folder of your choice, eg desktop.

Open terminal in this folder & type "sudo ./alpharevx" with your phone connected & in usb debug mode.

You don't need to adb.

Just open the terminal and cd to the downloaded alpharevx folder then type "sudo ./alpharevx"
[HTC Desire S] evmt:
You don't need adb, alphrevx works without it.

1. Exctract alpharevx to an easily reachable place (ex. Desktop)

2. Start terminal and get to that place (with cd command)

3. Run "sudo ./alpharevx"

I think you need to enable HTC Sync mode on your phone but not sure.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you're S-OFF you should be achieve root using Ginger Break http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Then either simply install ROM Manager from the market which will give you a one click option to install clock work mod or alternatively

4EXTRecovery v2.0.2 RC2

which is a re-worked version of CWM (improved, easier to use with more options ) - would recommend this as it currently has great support and is updated very regularly.

Why do you want to root???

Just install one of the ROM's out there, they come prerooted.

I just ran alpharevx, downloaded CWM straight from the alpharevx app, then installed a rom from zip file(after i wiped all). Simple as that..
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
It probably worked....download root checker from market to see if you're root.
