The only way to do a full backup is to root and use ROM manager to make a nandroid backup. Like I said before, backing up the stock ROM is nice for troubleshooting etc. but in order to un-root you'll have to completely wipe the device and will install the stock ROM again.

If you want to try out 2.3 you can use CM7 (which is stock 2.3 w/ some improvements), or wait for the official OTA to be pre-rooted then you can flash it after you've rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Yea sorry for the confusion if I made it sound that way. The action of un-rooting the device will put it back to stock, you don't have to save the stock ROM. The only reason to do so is if you like to have the stock rooted ROM around just in case you want to try something on it.

Just Bolded white for unread right now - I'll keep u updated though.

I might make a few changes to this version (ecsnead69's) tonight (e.g. white body text instead of the grey.. and any others I can think of).

like this:

[ Requirements ]

any working ROM with recovery

[best situation is to flash stock 2.1 se rom root it and install recovery using latest flashtool]

flashtool

FTF bundle posted below

Recovery image posted below

[ Features ]

Stock SE 2.3.3 ROM

prerooted (superuser files pre-installed, busybox pre-installed)

xRecovery-0.3 (GBready) recovery (all known issues related to recovery are fixed in this version)

[ Important Links Before u Begin ]

Flashtool

[FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies

[ How To ]

*FOLLOW THE STEPS PRECISELY ELSE U WILL GET STUCK*

download the ftf bundle & compressed recovery image from linnks below

extract the contents of the recovery image to a folder on desktop

u will get a folder with 4 files as shown below:

connect device to PC and mount sdcard

copy that extrated folder to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/

so final path to folder & files should look like:

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/cache.img

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/data.img

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/nandroid.md5

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/system.img

once copying is finished unmount sdcard and disconnect cable

reboot into recovery and restore this backup

AFTER RESTORE IS DONE DO NOT REBOOT

directly remove battery and wait for few minutes (since we dont have power off in recovery this is crude way to do it)

now start flashtool and connect X10 in flash mode and flash the ftf bundle provided below

after flashing is complete just restart device and enjoy prerooted X10 SE 2.3.3 GB!!!

[ Info ]

if u get adb push errors to /system then anantshri has a solution: check here

NO-KNOWN root exploit was used! all the info on how to do this is already there in the threads i had created earlier and of-course using some ingenuous thinking ;)... u can check my sig for the links to those threads...

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iunlock:
Just curious, were the antenna or antenna(s) are located on our device?

I would think the bottom since the top of the back side is occupied by the camera...

Anyone?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iunlock:
Could the ring around the camera and the metal strip on the back be used for the antenna?

I'm thinking there's probably one at the bottom of the phone...

Anyone?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iunlock:
Anyone?

I have a feeling the metal strip on the back is used as an antenna. If you look at the inside of the cover there are two little connector pieces that touches the camera metal ring, which is connects to the metal strip on the back cover...

Can anyone confirm this?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Dunno for sure - my time has been pretty tied up in this phone and I haven't gotten around to a lot of what I want...finding a teardown has been one of my to-do's.

I can say from my extensively thorough testing of GPS/ A-GPS on the phone that the signal is hindered by placing your hand around and over the top of the screen in the upper left corner, including covering the volume controls from the side.

I have been watching readouts on my screen which get weaker when placing my hand in that position and stronger when removing it, almost instantaneously...duplicated more times then I can count.

Not exactly what you were looking for, but one more puzzle piece to play with.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iunlock:
Thanks for the input!

Yea I think you're right...It's somewhere in the upper (top) portion of the phone where the camera is located. Also as mentioned, I think the metal ring around the camera and the metal strip on the back cover is also a part of the antenna.

If you take the back cover off you'll see two little connector points. Most phones utilize the metal around the camera when can.

Hope to find a tear down soon....Glad to see someone else with interest of a tear down....Always fun to see a break down.

Cheers.

I thought of increasing the screen resolution on my tattoo and already found a tutorial, how to do this:

For other devices (with larger screens) it works with no problems, but have anyone tried this with the tattoo?

If yes: What values do you use?

What does powersaving mode do under Settings->Display? It seems like it would degrade performance if it is always having to analyze the image and readjust.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
When your battery gets to a specific point, it automatically turns on your auto bright settings to save battery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
I have this unchecked but my phone still dims at 10 percent battery. Is there a way to make that not happen? Is it in the kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
What it actually does is analyze the image, it will dim mostly white screens like browser, or facebook etc. try it off then on while on a white screen you will see a difference. It has nothing to do with the battery level.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] breakaway87:
Fellow MT4GS users,

How is your battery lasting you? I'm coming from a MT4G, even though I eventually modded it, and it I used to get at least a full day and have to charge that night at the worst unless I really heavily used it.

My MT4GS has been lasting me half a day or so before I get into the yellow/red and I'm usually charging before the sun goes down.

My main culprit according to the built in battery indicator is display at 65% (I'm on automatic brightness)

Just over 10 hours today for me before I had to charge.

ps- Anyone know how to remove the annoying low power notifications? I'm getting two pop ups in a row.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Yeah mine generally lasts about 14 hours at moderate usage, but it's only been 2 days, and I remember when I got the MyTouch 4G it died on me while I was still at work and then after a week or so it got much better...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] breakaway87:
Yeah, I can agree with you there I think my MT4G was a little wonky the first week or so. We'll see how it goes.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HeyTao:
Only lasting 6 hours yesterday ....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AZScrewloose:
My battery lasted about 33 hours. After the 1st full charge. So way better than my other phones have done. This wasnt heavy usage though. No videos or music just a few calls, lots of emails and some web browsing.

One problem I am having is low call volume. My videos and music are perfectly loud, just the call volume sucks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
how did you get 33 hours because mine on the 1st day on lasted about 10 hours.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] NAZology:
I'm getting 6 hours. Its terrible. This things gonna get flushed down a toilet soon.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
Well make sure, your phones screen brightness is on low. Also make sure wifi,gps,bluetooth are off. Also make sure you kill some of the apps you ran on a task manager. just gotta find ways to keep the battery life up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AZScrewloose:
Well when I first got the phone, I didnt charge it until it was almost dead. Then fully charged it.

Also I turned off GPS, WiFi ect. I also use task manager to kill background programs that I don't need or want running.

We will see if the battery life goes down after a few weeks. Sometimes they take time to normalize.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
Oh what task you ended and what task manger you used?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] fireinthesky2night:
I appreciate the help but the logic is off. This is the latest ..and i stress smartttphone. It is supsupposed to be used as such. Bluetooth ..4g..music...video calling..maps..etc.. if u use of of these features six hours it will last. If you use them all try maybe 4 hours. Plus those boxes are annoying when the batterly is low. This phone has got to be rooted.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] arcticwolf8:
I'm gonna have to agree with that one, that's pretty much no different than saying buy a car but don't drive it so you can save gas lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] breakaway87:
I have gotten to around 12 hours or more now. Still moderate overall but heavier browser usage.

I do not kill tasks or turn off wifi, gps or anything. My brightness is auto.

I uninstalled the recent maps update because I saw where G2 users seem to think the recent update is draining their battery so I wondered if it could maybe be causing issues here too.

Anyways my battery life has gotten into the acceptable range and that was all I really did other than have more days to monitor it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Akujin:
Some technical specs on the battery:

Model: BG58100

Rating: 3.7V DC

Charge Capacity: 1520mAh

This appears to be the same battery that is in the Sensation 4G according to Google.

For us this is good because Ebay and Amazon are already flooded with replacement batteries.

We need to find a higher capacity mAh battery but with the same size as to not make us have to get a replacement back. This shouldn't be that hard.

My old phone has a smaller battery with a higher mAh capacity so the battery in the myTouch 4G Slide is an utter disappointment. They could have easily produced a 3000 mAh battery for this beast of a phone.

Edit: Found a 1900 mAh battery for only 9.99.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] NAZology:
Screen is on the least bright setting. I'm an ex blackberry user and dont even have one app. I could care less about apps. I'm charging every 5 hours and thats sometimes from just it sitting around/ not even using the phone. The thing better get it's act together. I'm starting to like the keyboard too but I'm up at 5am and if im charging at noon that's terrible. Especially with minimal use.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
I've found the slide version there too for $11.99. I've wonder how long it will last with that battery.

As I posted in my other thread, battery sucks on this phone. I had to keep wifi off all the day to keep it from dying by 6pm. Funny how 4g speed is so bad in nyc that wifi is the only other option to do something meaningful.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sonicjam:
Weird I live in small city and 4G is crazy fast. When I get to a big city like Baltimore, Maryland the 4G was slow. My thoughts are there too many people on the 4G network. T-Mobile did promised us double the 4G speed and they need more Towers too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
~

For the first couple days, my battery life was awful. I'd be getting low-bat notifications when I got home from an 8-hour day at work.

But of course that's always the case with new phones that haven't even had the settings tweaked...

- Placed a Wifi toggle widget on the homepage and turn it off every day after leaving home for work in the morning.

- Ensured certain programs and updates were not running in the background automatically:

~ Turned off Autosync on accounts (manual only)

~ Turned off autoupdates for weather

~ No Bluetooth, GPS, Wifi, unless turned on for a specific reason

~ Enabled power efficiency and power saver modes (30%)

~ Disabled Always-on data connection

~ Disabled auto-updates in various apps (Friendcaster, IM+ Pro, etc.)

- Turned the screen off when not in use

Today I'm at 40% after 14 hours of mixed use. I'd say that's DAMN good.

By the way, for those seeing the whole "Autosync off" thing and thinking that you can't do it, just do it. I don't get my work email or personal email on my phone unless I tell it to and it's utterly awesome. Less stress. Less looking at my phone constantly. It feels free and just plain great. And I used to be superconnected 24/7 syncing every 5 minutes (if push wasn't available).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] slvrblt:
I got about 16 and a half hours before it hit 15%.

I had a couple hundred texts, moderate internet use, played some games, 3 hours of pandora, 25 minute phone call.

I kept all the factory settings (auto brightness, wifi/bt/4g/gps/auto-sync ON, 30 second screen timeout)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Brock6949:
I'm averaging 10 hours before I hit 15% with wi-fi, bluetooth and GPS off, Auto synch on, running an active weather and time widget on one home screen, having twitter update every 2 hours, google + every hour and sending/recieving about 200 texts a day and maybe 3 4 minute phone calls with sporatic 10 minute game sessions throughout the day... I'd say that's pretty damn good.. now a bigger capacity battery would still be nice, because I haven't gotten more than 12 hours out of any android phone I have owned going back to the G1 and then to the Vibrant and now to the MTS4G
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonathan3579:
Are you all using 2G or 4G? Because so far just keeping the phone on WiFi while at home has left me with pretty horrendous results. I find it constantly draining faster than the Sensation.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
That's odd. Are you sure you're getting a good signal constantly because if it's constantly hunting for that signal, that's what would drain it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Brock6949:
I typically get 4G around my area and I use wi-fi when at home because my condo is terrible for signal
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Well if you're right on the cusp, it's constantly trying to check. Try turning your phone on airplane mode except for wifi.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonathan3579:
Well I try to leave the phone on 2G while I'm out but the second I step foot into the apartment I turn on WiFi where it kicks my phone into 99% time without signal despite the fact that it has a perfectly good signal. This is an everyday occurrence too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] icoman:
Pretty bad here. I'm getting 6-8 hours with moderate use but, I did order an extended battery. I'm too cheap for the mugen power so I went with the 1900 Anker battery. The Anker's are decent, my gf has one in her 3G Slide and it's a good 3-4 hours improvement so I'm assuming the 4G Slide should see around the same.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Micoman:
Having a mobile data widget on screen is really a big help, specially if you are always in a place with no signal.

One thing I noticed is the battery gets pretty warm easily even with just browsing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Kaczman:
icoman, would you mind sharing your results?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I'd like to know too - extended battery would be a worthwhile expenditure of money for this device.

Screen eats battery power, I get roughly a day so far with the stock battery.

I haven't measured the hours to see, but i've been messing with it consistently, and gps map navigation and so forth.

Car charger and an energizer power pack means I always have some kind of extra charging power available, but i'd love to go further before I need it.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cberbes:
What kind of battery are you using, stock?

Being an Android user since the G1, having owned a few G1s, MTS 3G, G2, and now the MTS 4G.....I'm having a very hard time believing you got 16+ hours with the useage you are claiming.

I notice that stock always dies faster than rooted with a custom ROM, but this is out of control. The first thing I do when I get an Android is turn brightness WAY down, unsync everything, turn off WiFi and BT. The only thing I don't do is turn off data or turn it to 2G only. With every other phone I would get a full day, I text a lot, I use the net moderately, I play some Angry Birds, I rarely talk on it. Depending on how heavy I use it, I would get down to 15% by the end of the day, sometimes I would still be around 50%. But I never had the phone die on me by the end of the day.

Both my Wife and I are having terrible battery life with our MTS4Gs. Her's is dying faster, but she uses Enterprise Exchange and has that set to sync. But even still she's only using slightly more battery than I am. With about 100 texts, very little net, no games, no calls, I am at 30% at the 12 hour mark. My numbers are 58% display, 19% dialer, 9% standby, 7% idle, and 7% Android OS. My screen is dimmed to roughly 10%, no WiFi, no BT, no animations.

I find it hard to believe that both of us got phones with weak batteries, so it is clearly the system. Hopefully all of this will go away when full root comes out and I can run some CM7 sweetness.
