[Motorola Droid 3] mgerbasio:
Battery life is much improved if you listen to those running the leaked OS which the rest of us are waiting for "soon". Currently, battery life is disappointing. The battery life with light usage is erratic, some nights, just sitting on my desk, its drained to 20% from a full charge in 10-12 hours. Other nights, its at 80%. I gave up trying to figure it out.

I'm coming from a Droid X and the D3 is getting at least 35% less battery life for the same usage. My numbers aren't scientific, but I know I'm usually at 30% with the DX by 4pm; with the D3 I'm usually at 15% by 2pm. Both are using the Motorola extended battery.
[Motorola Droid 3] rynosaur:
Comparing apples and oranges will always be disappointing.

This phone has better battery life than any other phone I've owned since 1999 -- AFTER the update! :) Note that I do not consider simple hours-to-dead measurements, but how much I use the device. I think that for a dual-core, large-screen, keyboard, 3G device, its efficiency is excellent. Anyone who thinks the D3 has poor battery life has not owned an HTC or Samsung device lately ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
Before the update.. about 8-14hours of battery life. With the update, easily 2+ days and I use it quite a bit.
[Motorola Droid 3] eXecuter.bin:
I can confirm that the battery life is drastically increased with the new OTA update. After about 9 hours of usage of occational web browsing, listening to music, and making a few calls, the battery only drained by 40% on the extended battery pack.
[Motorola Droid 3] dvigue:
Sorry Dude but my incred2 running Miui and or OMFGB SMOKES this D3 with the new OS leak with battery life..Smokes it.......
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
I missed a charge over the weekend (charger not plugged into wall) and by the end of the second day on the battery I still had 49% charge left.

Make sure you get the extended battery.
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
Inc2

Yeah my dad has an inc2.....the battery life is pretty remarkable. My d3 just doesn't last as long haha
[Motorola Droid 3] flexpackman:
Before I purchased my Droid 3, I took the heed of several and also got the extended battery.

Now I use mine for business purposes, so I do not use any social applications. Just Exchange, Gmail, and one POP3 account. All set for Push. Probably on the phone 30-60 minutes a day. I have the Exchange data turned off at night as I use Touchdown for this and it lets me set my schedule.

I charge it when I it gets down to around 20 %, That is normally after three days of use. That's been pretty consistent since the first week I had it which has been at least a month ago.

Still Stock..... Of course YMMV....
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
Do you have a Bell branded XT860 or are you running with Verizon Droid3? I am wondering because my XT860's extended battery is a little rough (barely gets through an entire day) and was wondering if Bell released an update for that phone. Note I'm on Rogers, so I'm not sure if that would make a difference on me getting OTA updates.
[Motorola Droid 3] slow88lx:
Comparing a single-core phone with a 3.7" screen to a dual-core phone with a 4" display is not apples to apples to begin with. Throw in a FULLY debloated and optimized ROM(miui) with a custom kernal on a single core 3.7" phone is more like grapes to watermelons.

With the standard battery I can take the phone off the charger when I wake up and get through the day no problem. I am simply rooted with all the bloat frozen with TiBu.
[HTC Sensation] Tomekks:
Hello.

I've just installed Revolution HD 3.1.1. coming from 3.0.0.

I did a clean install:

1) Format the SD with Panasonic SD formater;

2) Copy everything I need to the SD;

3) Run super wipe;

4) Install Revolution - restart;

5) Install recommended radio: Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01, restart

6) Install kernel: Unity kernel 8.0 (1.51 GHz) || download || For 1.45.401.2 (Android 2.3.4), restart

7) Install Android_Revolution_HD_CRT_Animation_3.0.x_v.0.2 and CameraMOD, restart

8) Boot to phone for first usage, already laggy.

I reinstalled just because the phone was really laggy before. I've read that to get rid of the lag, move the apps to SD. For me there is nothing to move. The hell is going on?

Can someone explain, please?

I think it's the formatter that budged my sd card and now it's laggy but that couldn't be. Have no idea.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Sounds like a duff phone to me.

Edit: sorry misread, thought you said it eas laggy before you changed roms
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
Probably the kernel. Try the stock kernel then see.
[HTC Sensation] nkon:
Try rebooting after flashing ARHD, then flashing cameraMOD after the first boot-up. I had the same problem, but after I took these steps the lagging stopped.
[HTC Sensation] VodkaPlease:
try to use other kernel
[HTC Sensation] Tomekks:
Cool, thank you nkon. It helped!
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
You forgot:

9) wait 10 minutes.

10) reboot.

Sent from my Energy ROM Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] arifafzan:
U need reboot 2/3 times.. usually after 3 times reboot everything will fine.

*u should try ROM from baadnewz for faster performance. I already tried all ROM and so far, that insertcoin 2.3.5 from chef baadnewz really fast and smooth
[HTC Sensation] meteor999:
Yes make sure you clear the davik after every zip installation as well, and afterwords, I always do that and I never get any problems
[HTC Sensation] Tomekks:
Thank you everybody. Everything works great. Just hate that when I get my phone running as I want, a new verison of my ROM comes out that is much better.. ;D
[HTC Sensation] cmarchi:
Have you tried the new 3.6?

Heard it's amazing
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dragonthl:
I found one from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Middle-Fr...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item27bdf5490a

If it goes with sgp glas white will make the fone almost white.

But now Im worry about its quality and is it easy to apply to my fone.

So Is this fone easy to disassemble and assemble it again?

Thanks.

Updated:

No need adhesive

housing can find here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Housing-C...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item2a13f2bc4d

Thank antipestro93.

No need adhesive

Here is mine with some pictures, it looks awesome when combine with SGP glas:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fulvian:
So far I've been using the white back cover,

I didn't know there was white middle frame too, not sure how to install that.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dragonthl:
Hehe, tự em thay cũng được rồi. Mới đặt xong ;))

Can u tell me where to buy the back cover? Is this good quality?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] antipesto93:
I just took apart my GS2, You unscrew the screws on the back

use a credit card to split open the case

you then have the middle frame that is mentinoed in the ebay listing (white)

the only thing you need to do is remove the bottom Speaker+Mic module from the current middle frame (pull it up from the top)

then put this module into the white case, push the white case back on, put the screws back, and done :)

I have purchased one, then i can use my phone without case, and just before i sell it i can put the original back on:)

its actually cheaper than buying SGP cases anyway
[Galaxy S II Accessories] asdfasd2:
Did you have to use any adhesive? Do you have pictures?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] antipesto93:
Nope, there is no adhesive anywhere, i saw this thread and took my phone apart while sitting on a desk at work :D

You just take take the screws off the back

use a credit card to pull of your back housing

Remove the Bottom speaker (from the black housing)

clip the bottom speaker onto the new white housing

clip + screw the white housing on

Remember, the item in the ebay listing only replaces the back half of the phone, a thin bezel around the lcd still stays
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dragonthl:
Updated picture. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] antipesto93:
wow it looks amazing, I am tempted to put this white case on, Then add the white Glass, and then not use any cases or anything :D

then just put the stock housing back on when its time to sell ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dragonthl:
Yep, when sell it just put it back in stock very easy and not break your warranty.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bimmerboii:
That is an awesome mod! Im guessing the silver/chrome bezel in the middle cant be replaced?

Edit: Also did you have to buy adhesive?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dragonthl:
You dont need adhesive for this.

About silver/chrome bezel you need to buy white housing for it and I think more difficult to apply than this one.

In my opinion, black line is better than silver/chrome line on the white one. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bimmerboii:
Thanks. Can you post pictures of the back with the battery & sim removed?

Edit: thanks for uploading new pic!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] akusokuzan:
what clock widget is that?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] antipesto93:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Housing-C...L&hash=item2a13f2bc4d&clk_rvr_id=265074842592

if you buy this, it includes the extra front housing, however to remove the LCD from the current housing you need a heat gun and you will 90% sure break it,.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TvBTvB:
So the front of your phone (around the screen) will remain black with this method with the middle frame+back cover, or will it be white like the pictures in the OP?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] antipesto93:
Yup, the area around the screen will remain black. The only reason the OP's screen is white is because he has a White SGP Glas on the front.

there are black versions available on the website if you dont want to purcahse a white front glas
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dragonthl:
Bob clock.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonoball88:
I bought this exact one and its soooo easy to install! Just unscrew the 6 or so screws behind the battery cover, run your fingernail around the bezel to loosen the clips and the whole back comes off. Then from your original back take the speaker out ( its just popped in and there's no adhesive or anything holding it in) then clip it into your new white backing then line it up with your phone and clip / screw it back into place and bam your done! It literally took me 2 minutes to do!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poloboogie:
Easy as 1,2,3

1.i ordered a super amoled white oem led

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickovtyme:
I bought my wife a TF for her birthday a couple weeks ago and she's been playing around with it. So far she's happy, but today she wanted to use Skype to make a video call to her mom.

Needless to say, we soon found out that Skype Video chat isn't supported, so I found what I thought was an alternative. Google Talk, which comes stock on the Transformer. She then told her mom to get Google talk on her PC so they could chat.

This is what happens. Whether we called her mom or her mom called us, we cant get the video to load. If her mom rings the TF, our video loads in the lower right corner, but then her mom's video only pops up for a second and then we get sent to the Chat screen.

But here's the rub...I loaded Talk on my laptop and I can video call back and forth between my laptop and the TF just fine - video and sound. Now granted, I have no idea how my MIL has her PC set up...but I do know that we tried Google Talk Video PC to PC and it worked without issue.

Has anybody else experienced this and is there a fix? I searched online and found several people having the same issue, but I also found people who say it works flawlessly...and whats the disconnect between my laptop and the TF versus my MIL's PC and the TF? Could it be simply that both my devices are in the same WiFi? Could it be because my MIL lives in California?

Any input is appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
It work fine for me too even when my PC and tablet are on different wifi network so probably the way it's set up on your MIL's side.

Now instead of using the app on the PC

She can try to log into her Gmail account and initiate a call from there.

I don't use any PC app at all just straight from my Gmail account on the PC

to my tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
I had a similar issues with my laptop. I had to go into settings on my google account and manually set the correct device for the web cam. It worked fine after that.

Good luck...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickovtyme:
Yes that's what she was using, her gmail account. I'll double check with her to make sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickovtyme:
I'll have her look at her google settings.

You married guys know what I'm up against... It is now my job to get this working for her.

Especially since I heard a half a dozen times today, "it should just work. "
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndwatkins:
My sympathies to you - despite being one of these womenfolk, I do actually know what you're talking about. Every other day either me or my husband is trying to fix some sort of computer issue for my mother-in-law. God help us all if she actually realizes video chat is a thing.

That said, also slightly off topic, but despite preferring Gtalk personally, it would be really nice to see Skype working on this device since everyone under the sun seems to use it. I haven't had a problem so far with TF-to-TF vid chat, but I'll see if I can replicate your issue with one of the desktops later. You'll probably have it resolved by then though, I'd imagine :)

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
To get there log into the gmail account, then:

1. Click in the gear icon on the far upper right.

2. Click mail settings.

3. Click in the chat tab

4. In the Voice & Video Chat area there is a camera drop down box to choose the hardware.

Also make sure she has installed the Video Chat plug-in:

1. Again from the gmail account click on her gmail e-mail (XXXXX@gmail.com)

2. Click account settings

3. Click talk

4. Click install Video Chat plug-in

Hope one of those get things working for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickovtyme:
I also tried it from my Desktop. My desktop (Vista 32 machine) had no issues. My laptop is a Win7 64. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I wouldn't think so.

I'm almost positive that its something or some setting on her end not quite right.

Now to communicate it to her and make her understand cause its not like I can just hop in my car to go take a look at it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrige:
I've got pretty much the exact same problem here! Calls from PC-PC work, but from TF-PC don't load at all. It's been like this for well over a month, and I have yet to figure out any solution.

Did you manage to get anything to work on your end?

EDIT: Found this link. Any news or solutions would probably be posted there first. As of 3 days ago Google was still working on a fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
Hummm.... I can report that video chat does work with my TF and my Win7 64 Laptop. After going into the Google settings, as I mentioned above, and setting the correct web cam device, I have tired it several time with no issues.

My TF is up to date and running 3.2 by the way.

Of course I was on the same home network with both devices, so maybe being on different networks would yield different results.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Hey Nickovtyme, you think your MIL would want to try Yahoo Messenger?

I use it and it work good though resolution is not as good as GTalk.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087769#
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrige:
That works fine for me when we're both on the same home network. If possible, try tether the TF via WiFi hotspot from your phone (if you have a data plan) - that will effectively put it on a different network - and try GTalk again with your computer to see if it still works.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
I will give it a shot.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Well, just gave it a go. Used my cell phone data connection with my TF and it worked. I first I thought it didn't, but then realized I had to open the lid so I could use the built in webcam (duh!).

But yeah, it works for me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dedson:
My bionic will not sync with the facebook app and give my contacts pictures. Does anyone have a possible solution? Other then that, great phone so far!

The newest FB update has been getting pretty terrible responses from users on many different models of phone. Perhaps its broken in the app and will get debugged in the next update. Anybody else know anything?

Thats odd...cause on my phone it shows that all my contacts that are linked to facebook have their pictures automatically linked to their contact info. I didn't do anything special.

My Facebook contact pictures weren't syncing or would only sync some pictures. To fix this i went to Settings > Battery & data manager > Data delivery > social applications > and check "Sync over Wi-Fi only" then connect to WiFi and your contacts should re-sync.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tommymac1039:
How do I get Facebook contacts to sync with my existing contacts though so I don't have seperate contacts from Facebook and existing
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Use Friendcaster.

1) It's better, and more stable than the official FB app.

2) It sync pics just fine.

My 2 cents...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tommymac1039:
Free or paid version?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Up to you man, I use the paid. To be honest, I'm not sure of the differences between the two. I just know I used the free one (loved it) and instantly supported the developer. However, it's not a one-man show anymore, as it was bought by OneLouderApps (TweetCaster) - I personally think it's more stable now...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tommymac1039:
Totally love friendcaster one thing though it synced my Facebook contacts to my phone contacts but it doesn't link them, so I have a contact for john doe and under it is my Facebook contact for the same john doe?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
It's not perfect on the sync, but it's passable. I have about 100 contacts, and it misses about 10 of them - usually due to their FB name not matching how I have them stored. Takes me a few mins, but I just manually join them.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tommymac1039:
How do you manually join them?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tommymac1039:
Never mind got it thanks a ton
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Go into the contact, hit= menu/edit contact/menu again/join contact
[Motorola Droid Bionic] slvrdrgn123:
On mine, when I imported my contacts, some of them had my old phone's default pic for contacts that didn't have a pic set and it wouldn't sync with facebook pictures. What I did was remove the default pic and then it would sync if it wasn't set to a pic manually.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] liltone08618:
I have tried that along with uninstalling facebook, logging out of the facebook blur account and relogging into it still nothing. Reinstalled facebook and still nothing, this is annoying to me. Didn't have these issues with my E3D
[Verizon Droid Charge] nikchapman:
Hi. I write for AOL News and am looking for some feedback on the droid charge. I've used two different phones so far and found several bugs that no one has apparently been focusing on:

1.The camera/camcorder will freeze the entire phone sporadically forcing the user to reboot the system. This occurs about 1 in every 8 times the camera is used. especially if it's on more than a minute or two.

2. Clicking the 'Message' Icon will open the browser or even 'settings'. Again, forcing reboot.

3. The 'brightness' automatically changes to 0 even when the 'auto' option isn't selected and the phone isn't outside.

4. This one constantly happens; when in phone mode, the screen will go dark after only about 10 seconds and nothing will bring it back except hitting the power button. I've been told you're supposed to be able to 'shake' the phone to awake it out of sleep mode but this is not the case. Additionally, if you've set the power button to end calls, the phone will sometimes end calls on the first push and sometimes not.

The phone could be a great device but it's obvious there are SERIOUS design flaws inherent in the OS.
[Verizon Droid Charge] asdecker:
I haven't experienced any of the problems you bring up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] omnia38:
1. Are you sure that you are not pressing the power button while in the camera application. Doing so will toggle the screen lock and appear to freeze the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I haven't experienced any of those issues either.

As for number 4, I think that was a conscious design decision. I don't really like it either, but you can use Tasker or Locale to detect when you're in a call and change your timeout to whatever you want.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kelmar13:
Have not experienced on my stock Charge nor on my rooted Charge. Just tried both to try to get this to happen.

Never had this issue on either phone.

When you have the auto brightness turned off you can push and hold the notification bar and slide your finger to the right or left to raise/lower brightness. Is it possible you are doing this?

The phone isn't supposed to be waken by shaking it. You can change the time-out timing through the settings. I've never hung up the phone via the power button so I can't even comment on that one.

Out of curiosity, are you on EE04?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jselden:
I have not experienced any of these on the 3 months with my phone. It locked up maybe once on the camera but never more than that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] slane35:
I've had none of these issues and furthermore I second the above thoughts regarding locking three camera and the status bar brightness.
