Dear Developers,

lately i've been reported of some issue regarding spammers, trolls in racht thread, with my regret i also noticed that two good developers has left the EXPERIA X8 rom developer by those haters.

As a Developer (retired lol) i can only say to you to don't give up to those stupidity, kind of people is always existed and always will exist.

As a Moderator i can say one thing, my PM box is always open to you and anyone, just drop me a Pm and i will try to fix the situation as fast as possible, something is changing on XDA forums and it is even much more easy to get a ban for not follow the rules.

XDA-DEVELOPERS it is built on Developers, we love you and we want to make sure that your stay here will be a good experience.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] af974:
The reason for this thread was not for let people post their reports, as i still like the NEW reporting system, but to leave a note for Developers.

Anyway i have to agree with you, i will clean and close it asap.

SpyderX, from now use the new Reporting system, it is much more easy and cool to use :D

Just got it in the mail - had pre-ordered it from Mobile Fun about two weeks ago.

Someone else posted pics already, but couldn't find the thread - here are my own.

Note, the case acts as a battery charger, and starts delivery electricity as soon as you put the phone in. There is no switch on it. I'll have to see in the coming days, but it looks like it's necessary to only put the pack on when you need it.

Things I fear but may be unfounded:

it won't be practical to leave the case on at all times

need an extra charger to charge them seperatly and efficiently

I hope I'm wrong, and hope I can just keep it on at all times, and charge both the battery and phone at the same time using one charger.

Thanks to Eiraku posting in this thread, I was able to find the original thread for this battery pack:

Isnt it a bit harmful to always have the battery at 100% charge level and even have trickle charge, they should have implemented a switch or at least some control mechanism to have it start charging only at around 50-80%
[Galaxy S II Accessories] michelhuy:
I think you're right, and indeed, the case start charging the phone even if the phone's battery is full.

From the manual:

"When not in use, remove your phone from the power pack."

Kinda of a let down. But I'm still happy to have it for my asian trip at the end of the week - electricity will sometimes be a luxury.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] EarlZ:
The purpose of this case is kinda moot if it does not have a switch and cant be kept in use.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stjs:
Thanxs for the pics...I ordered this case from expansys a month ago and am still waiting on it to ship. Looks great.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wiaza100:
So what is the purpose of this button
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
There IS no such button. Only the battery tester button (which is useless).

Cost cutting, Samsung? You delayed the battery pack to remove that freaking power toggle?

Personally I can't wait for PowerSkin to come up with something better (OR that urban legend official 2000mah internal extended battery with new cover to come out). But as of rite now, I'll take what I can get.

To OP: thanks for the nice pics. They're much better than mine anyway. And welcome to the club!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] michelhuy:
There is indeed a button as indicated on the pic you have there, but on mine, it doesn't quite look like that. There is no marking on it or next to it - it's a simple push button which function is to indicate battery level. When you push it, the battery indicator will light up green, blue or red according to its energy level.

The pic you have may be a prototype or maybe a different version other people are going to get?

Without power toggle

I will cancel the order
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RizSher:
Guys,

Surely just because there is more power available behind the standard battery, doesn't mean the phone will suddenly start drawing more power from it?. A car doesn't consume more petrol when the tank is full... how would this be any different to putting a ...say 2000 mAH battery (if it becomes available) instead of the original OEM battery??..

More mAH added by the sleeve should give extra run time...

Riz
[Galaxy S II Accessories] michelhuy:
I'm no electrician, but I like the full tank analogy.

Imagine the tank is full, but let's say I keep pouring fuel in the tank while the engine is running ... kinda of a waste as the extra fuel will spill - not to mention the danger.

So the question here, if the energy or extra energy delivered by the battery isn't being consumed, is it wasted? Is there danger if there is "spillage" in the form of heat? This phone can already get incredibly hot it you use it as a GPS for an extended period of time.

I'm still concerned about what the manual says about removing the pack when unused.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Actually, I have all confidence that this is a "smart" charger, in the sense that it will only top up the internal battery as necessary.

Using it as an "extender", I have no issues getting 3-4h extra on really heavy, constant screen on 3g surfing. It didn't even get hot at all, so power was NOT needlessly drained.

As a "charger", I got from 6% to about 42% from a fully charged extpack. In this config, the case did get quite warm, which indicated that it was quickly expending its reserves to charge the SGS2.

For a 1300-ish mah pack, this is more then consistant performance in my book, from my experinces from owning multiple iPhone 4 batt cases.

Only issue is with the lack of power toggle, there's much less flexibility allowed. You can't choose to keep the extpack as an emergency reserve UNLESS you take it out.

Also, it only takes in 700ma (the Samsung charger is rated at 750) and gives out 650ma, which means that in the event that you are charging a fully depleted extpack and say a 50% power left SGS2, the charging of the extpack will take FOREVER (phone first, then case).

But charging the SGS2 takes forever to begin with, so...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RizSher:
I'm no electrician myself...

But... about the car engine.... there are fuel governor controllers which only allow enough fuel as is needed to enter the combustion chamber...

but.... we talk of batteries... the way electrons work.... my understanding is...

flow of electrons is decided by the potential differnece available for them to travel across.. the higher the potential difference... the more electrons would flow...

So, lets say... the SGS2 has a power consumption of 100 milli-amps (based on whatver the volgtae rating is).... a 100 mah battery would run it for 1 hour... a 500 mah battery would run it for 5 and so on....

Adding a battery in parallel.... would not increase the power consumption from the original spec'd power requirement of 100 milli-amps... it'll just increase the total amperes available to run the device... so.... more ampere-hours available... hence longer hours available to run the phone

Quite simply, it is similar to leaving your phone connected to the charger... I'm sure most of do this every night for the duration of the night....

leave the phone connected to the charger... i.e.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Schmich:
Ars Technica has a good article on batteries. It basically says this thing should have a power button!

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...-is-the-best-way-to-use-an-li-ion-battery.ars

"On the other end of the spectrum, keeping a Li-ion battery fully charged is not good for it either. This isn't because Li-ion batteries can get "overcharged" (something that people used to worry about in The Olden Days of portable computers), but a Li-ion battery that doesn't get used will suffer from capacity loss, meaning that it won't be able to hold as much charge and power your gadgets for as long. Extremely shallow discharges of only a couple percent are also not enough to keep a Li-ion battery in practice, so if you're going to pull the plug, let the battery run down for a little bit. "
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
I believe that the phone, like the iphone, and most laptops, don't fully throttle their devices on battery. So maybe when it's plugged in it would use more power thinking that it's tethered into the wall. I had that issue with my iPhone 4. I had a battery case for it. The phone itself could last me say, 6 hours on its 1400 mah battery. When I put the 2000 mah battery back on it, before the battery pack died, was only 5 hours. So my phone consumed 2000 mah in 5 hours, while on the internal (smaller battery) it consumed it within 6 hours. Hmm... That's not right. So, then I investigated it and while plugged in the phone went into "performance mode"

Is that at all possible on THIS phone as well? hehe.

I'm not big on the whole battery switch, so, I'm skipping this case. I wrote power skin and let's see if they release one for the SGSII. I'd love it if they did :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
There's also the fact that a battery directly wired to the device will always perform better per mah vs an externally mounted battery. Heat loss through the external connector, yada yada.

If you're afraid of "performance mode" (which I also think some phones have), just use SetCPU to override it, like I do.

I'm hoping PowerSkin comes up with something soon too - as a case, the ExtPack has really crappy all round protection, especially on the front (getting the SGP Glas protector because of this).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] koreanstyle:
i'd go for the case only without the battery.... it looks quite dangerous...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsp33d:
YES I HAVE USED THE SEARCH BAR.

I have a rooted captivate, custom ROM.

I do not use a data plan, I usually just remove the APN.

My question is.. is there a route that can be taken where I can still keep my MMS? A long time ago I remember an APN program had a check box that said 'keep MMS enabled.'

I am just curious and would like to find a way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfernandez:
the widget you are looking for is toggle data
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SabinLeto:
If you'd like a way that doesn't require an app or widget (depending on rom*):

Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > ATT WAP

Change the last setting (APN type) from "Internet + MMS" to MMS

*Apparently, this depends on settings in the ROM. When I was on Firefly, I was able to change the settings, but can't change them on Fusion. However, you should be able to duplicate the settings of the default APN and switch to your new custom APN.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsp33d:
The toggle data widget would upgrade me to a smartphone plan.. Right?

Thank you, I did notice the Internet + MMS option in other custom ROM's I've used. But I have yet to run accrossed one that can just be modified to MMS. I will be looking!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spkbri:
Hi everybody, i've googled around for this problem withoud finding any solution.

How can i edit the files in system/usr/ to make the keyboard like the stock one?

Examples:

if i press the blue button ONCE it should write ONE blue character only. instead it messe everything up and i have to press it several times to get the letters working.

the sym button doesn't work in either way (accented letters if pressed simultaneously with the letter or symbols menu if pressed alone).

etc..

i found this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113863), but it didn't help, and i can't post in that thread to ask for help.

i've seen that italian language file is present in /system/usr/keyboard-config/languages, but how can i make the phone use ita.xml instead of what's using now?

EDIT: i've seen now that i've started the thread in the wrong browser tab, i wonder if a mod may move this to Q&A. i'm sorry

EDIT2: problem solved, i had to change the option in the settings menu. strange that 3 different keyboard input methods were activated, it makes no sense to me.

i'd recommend to stiky a warnig to this fact so no one will be looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist :)

Hello Streakers! :D

Just picked up my Streak 7 on Sat... Loaded HC on it, and it screams!!

I am interested on finding internal pictures of this device, does anyone know where I can find them?

More specifically, is it possible to purchase the wireless modem on line and slide it into a port like other devices? Example- on my Gtab, they still have a point on the motherboard to mount the modem..

The internal pictures would help me asses the workload needed to do such a project.

Thank you!

Here are some pics in case you are interested...

On the VS Gtab, you can just drop the 3G dock in, and your SIM card just works...

Not sure if it is the case here... Anyone successfully disassemble the WiFi only variant?

From the build, I would think it's the exact same thing minus the HSPA+ card and the blocked SIM slot.

Anyone use any app for sending/receiving sms, other than stock, GoSMS, Handcent or Chomp?

I don't like the stock because customising is very limited. GoSMS always conflicts with the stock app for me, even if I turn off notifications in stock the LED doesn't flash. Handcent is okay but is missing something, though I can't put my finger on what. Chomp is ok but the advertising and spam sms p!55 me off.

Any other apps available that you'd recommend?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mortenmhp:
Chomp is great :)

It only gives an intro sms on first install. Also i bought it(they don't use paypal anymore) so i don't worry about ads.(of course there are other ways to get rid of those, but we don't talk about that on here)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FTP4:
HTC HD7. Everything would be ok and I could use to new design, but none of games isnt working - MS Revoked
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Developer-unlocking a Mango phone (dev-unlock is what ChevronWP7 Unlocker did) is possible with an official marketplace developer account, or (soon) through ChevronWP7 Labs. If you have a restore point for NoDo, there are ways to carry the unlock forward if you don't have an official one (although for HTC it's more difficult than for Samsung or LG, and the methods keep getting closed off).

"Application has been revoked by Microsoft" message usually means that you're trying to run a sideloaded app on a non-dev-unlocked phone. This can be fixed by dev-unlocking. Now, I'm going to avoid jumping to any conclusions, but there aren't that many games publicly available for sideloading. XDA-Developers is about using our phones without artificial restrictions, not about using other people's work without paying for it. Discussion of software piracy is not accepted here. Just... thought you should know.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FTP4:
I restored my phone back to nodo with backup. Maybe will try to update with unlock someday.
