[Nexus S General] LordLugard:
I discovered something interesting today. Charging the battery in the NS never gets past 94/95% (safety feature i've been told).

I received the 2 x battery and external charger dealio i bought on eBay ($9.99 :) ) and started charging one of the batteries. Fully charged i put it in the NS and the charge read 100%. So i put stock battery in the external charger and when it was fully charged i put it in NS and it read 100% as well. It's been 3 hrs on the hong kong eBay battery and i'm down to 89% (average loss of 3% / hour), definitely better than stock battery so far. Will evaluate and see which battery holds up more.

Also, the Go Launcher task manager thingy always shows a butt-load of apps just "running" in the background, stuff i haven't even launched at all, and they annoy me to no end.
[Nexus S General] pitmaster:
About 10-15 mins perusing forums, reading up on the news and reading tweets. Maybe a few texts. Have had to restrain myself from doing much more than that per hour. Usually use it more, at least I did on my last two phones ....that's why I had a 2800 mha batt for my evo and an extra batt for my optimus......

ahhhhh...........gone todash..............
[Nexus S General] pitmaster:
Sounds like the same ones I ordered today......keep up with an update! Hopefully they do the job. :)

[Nexus S General] PMDColeslaw:
Polling your exchange every hour uses way more battery than setting it to push notifications. Also if you get 100 corp emails a day then its gonna be consuming more battery than if you get 5-10 emails/day. I use exchange with push and it barely registers on my battery usage.
[Nexus S General] mjgunn:
Day 2 since my phone killed itself in less than 4 hours, battery seems to be draining normally again today so I guess it was just a glitch.

At least I think it's normal even though it seems high to me. Took the phone off the charger and the battery status read 95%. Locked the phone and checked back exactly 1 hour later and it was at 90%. Is that normal, 5% an hour just idling? The only account I have syncing is my google account, and my gmail isn't very busy. I have twitter, facebook, google+ installed but none of them are set to sync. Checked what was using the battery and the top was cell standby, followed by android system, followed by phone idle.
[Nexus S General] RGX521:
Get Battery monitor widget and have a look at your history. That'll give you an idea about whether it's actually going to sleep when it should. You also need better battery stats and find out if you have apps keeping it in wakelocks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
I'm not too sure how many people know this, but when Kies is downloading your new ROM, you can copy it and put it somewhere on your hard drive for use later on (if necessary).

On my computer (Windows XP) Kies puts the ROM in the temp folder, on my computer, here...

C:\Documents and Settings\Ian\Local Settings\Temp, where Ian is my name on my computer, you go to where all your files are located.

While downloading the new ROM it'sin a temp file called tmp1B2.tmp.

Once it's done, it puts the file in a folder called tmp1B2.tmp.zipfolder

Just copy the file from this folder and paste it anywhere you want.

The file will disappear after your phone is finished upgrading, so make sure you don't wait too long.

Thanks! Though I don't suppose there is a method of actually getting the firmware WITHOUT actually going through the process of upgrading?

You can also download the firmware straight from Samsung using check fus downloader without even having to run kies.

Lots of Sensation owners have already got a Chichitec or Anker extended battery. As a matter of fact I'm getting ready to purchase one. I just stopped by here first just to do some last minute reading to help me decide which to buy. Now wondering if I should hold off and wait on the Mugen battery.

Welp, after years of never having an official brick, my time has come. I had the phone unplugged (fully charged) for about 45 minutes. In the middle of playing Cut the Rope, phone shut off without warning.

Subsequent attempts to power up yielded a faint blink of the LED. Plugging it into a charger gave me a strange series of blinks. 5 slow...3 fast, and then it was off again.

Anyone else had this happen?

I put my battery in my friends Sensation and charged it for about 5 minutes, giving it enough juice to power on my phone, then charged it fully.

If you know anyone with a Sensation, I would recommend giving that a go.
[HTC Sensation] awake00:
I agree with what's been said. Also it doesn't sound like it's bricked, it seems. Something hardware maybe?

No you have an old version of alpharev clockwork recovery image. That doesnt let your battery charge when phone is off. Go to this post and read step2 and flash the updated recovery image. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16125079

[HTC Sensation] momentarylapseofreason:
That would have been fine and dandy, if I were able to boot into recovery. I had no power whatsoever. I did get it to finally power up using the method above, although something is wrong. The LED is blinking orange at a rate of 1 p/s.

I am also curious as to how my battery went from 100% to dead in 45 minutes. I had less than 3 volts coming from it.
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
Return it. Sounds like some hardware is failing and you should be able to get it replaced.
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
The orange blink every second is what mine does when the battery is low.
[HTC Sensation] BlackVision:
Did you have clockwork recovery version 1.1.5 from ROM manager? Well that recovery version won't let you charge you phone when its off. And if Ye battery went dead you won't be able to start it. Find a battery that's charged and revert back to cwm 1.1.4.
[HTC Sensation] momentarylapseofreason:
--I got it to power up by hacking a USB cable up and connecting directly to the battery

--Updated CWR

--Even after a full charge, LED is blinking, although now it is blinking green

--Called it in and getting a new phone later today (Friday)

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwuk:
Hello,

I am having issues with my HTC Wildfire running 2.2.1 Froyo (SUnAaBh v1.1 ROM) sending and recieving Multi Media Messages (MMS).

I recently went over to this ROM from Stock for various reasons and it was since then that this issue has arised :(

I've spoken to my Network Provider O2UK and have got the correct settings for PAYG.

Sadly whenever I try to send or recieve a MMS, I get the following error message 'Unable to Send - Generic Network Failure' or 'Unable to Download - Generic Network Failure'.

I've tried the usual, remove and re-add APN Settings with reboot inbetween, no difference.

Mobile Internet works fine, its just MMS :(

I am hoping someone out there knows the solution.

Many thanks

Hello All,

I have recently installed on my Htc Hd2 the cyanogenMod-7-Nightly typhoon V3.3.3 MAGLDR Android Ver 2.3.4 and it is working fine.

My question is, I have loads of double contacts in my phone so how do I delete these contacts by checking the boxes to delete those selected. At the moment, I can only delete contacts one at a time. I am not having the option to select various names to delete at a go. Any help?

My second question, is there any ROM which is closer to the Samsung Galaxy S2 that I can download and install?

Thanks in advance.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pReXx:
I think you gonna sync your contacts with your google account?

It's easier to edit your contacts in your browser of your PC/Laptop.

just go to www.google.de and in the menubar ob the top on "E-Mail".

Login with your google account.

In the left menu is the "Contacts" option. if you mark all, you can merge alle you double contacts via "More actions"->"find & merge duplicates".
[Nexus S Accessories] Darkshado:
After a bit of searching I made a dock for my Nexus S and thought I'd show the results here.

I found out about polymer clay in this post (the thanks button is disabled for some reason...).

And I used the resistor values listed here, as some other threads showed they also worked with the Nexus S: Fun with resistors (home/car dock mode + more)

I ordered a Sparkfun microUSB breakout board, bought some resistors at a local electronics shop and four blocks of black Fimo clay at a nearby arts shop. I had the other supplies on hand:

-Soldering iron, solder, etc.

-Shrink wrap in various sizes.

-Hot glue.

-Aluminium plate.

-USB cable.

-Narrow and slightly rounded file.

-Box cutter or exacto knife.

I made the cable first (and did not take pictures at that time) and ensured that part worked before tackling the clay portion of the project.

I soldered one end of the resistor on the breakout board and the other directly on a stripped portion of the ground cable. The data wires remain functional as I am using a wall charger that properly shorts the D+ and D- wires to enable AC mode. I secured everything to the board with hot glue and finished off with shrink wrap.

This was my first time working with Fimo and it went well. I wrapped my phone in cellophane for a test fit along with the modified cable. The cable however isn't rated for the baking temperature so this was only temporary.

After baking, it turned out that I had misplaced the portion meant to hold the cable, so I snapped it off and made another with some left-over clay. The cured material can handle rebaking with no issues.

A bit of rework on the attachment point with a knife, test fit again, glue the board and file a notch for the buttons.

The phone slides in and out smoothly. I'm quite satisfied with the results.

Update: dock still works great. I've made one mod though: I took an old mouse pad, tore off the cloth on the top, cut a shape matching the dock's bottom, and hot glued the two together. This anti-skid pad means I can turn off the alarm or answer a call (which the phone answers in speakerphone mode right away) without inadvertently moving my phone on the nightstand.

Goodbye,

Darkshado

[Galaxy S II General] xEraseRx:
Well, I am skeptical about these pictures.

On Google IO a "state of the art" UI was promised, but all I can see is the same look Gingerbread had, but with blue elements.

If I recall right, on IO the Google-Representative said they are "AIMING for a Q4 release", not "it WILL BE RELEASED Q4".

I don't think ICS is anywhere close to release at this moment. And even if it will be released Q4, which I highly doubt, then only on the Nexus Prime, the rest of the Nexus family, not to speak of non-Nexus phones, will follow in 2012.

I expect to get ICS on my GS2 around april to may 2012.

[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
For those commenting, you do realise that even the leaker stated this is a very early build. Obviously it looks like GB, it makes sense that ICS would be built upon the GB platform, therefore early builds will clearly look like a tweaked GB rom.
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
Firstly I know the guy who provided us with the photos and he is the same guy who gave us screenshots of Gingerbread before it's release and they turned out to be 100% real.

Secondly ICS is not going to look that different from Gingerbread, but it will act differently.

You can see already that the notifications bar has changed a bit, the market has now changed (and available to all) music app has changed (available to all) and in the screenshot you can see the new widget page which is similar to honeycomb and the app switcher on the home screen again similar to honeycomb. The rest of the UI will look roughly the same as we expect as it works well on a phone.

One thing that will change is the way the UI and apps respond when the phone is in landscape. It will act more like a tablet when in landscape and more like a phone when in portrait.

Just wait for more information to come out and you will see that although it looks similar it will in-fact work completely differently.
[Galaxy S II General] LuffyPSP:
well damn it google. they should have make a more beautiful AOSP theme rather than having themers making lot more work than them, which is beautifully done. for out the box UI, Android actually failed that. Sense is the most customized ones, though every version looks the same. I love how the updates from google make things work differently, but please~~ the UI~~ not everyone can customize and have the creativity, so make a beautiful one damn it google.

My acer iconia's camera/camcorder app has the option to save the vids/pics straight to the external sdcard. My asus transformer's camera app doesn't do this. I've asked the same question in the transformer section, but apparently I'm too newb to for those gurus to give me an adequate answer.

Anyway I can use the acer camera/camcorder app in either an asus based custom rom or the asus transformer itself?
