Hmm, I just did a mod on my Galaxy Nexus (easy due to the pogo pins) and am pretty determined to do it on the wifes Sensation. I work with micro-miniature solder technicians so I'm not worried about that, guess I'll have to cut the shroud away to expose the USB connector though. That might get a little messy. I'll post pics if I can get it to work! Honestly, with the popularity of this phone, I'm surprised nobody has gotten the high WAF mod to work yet.

[HTC Sensation] afroken3130:
I think the biggest issue is the unibody case. Even if you get the soldering, or conductive glue down the inductive current won't make it through the stock case. I tried. You'll have to sandwich the inductive circuit between the phone and case.

I have since removed the inductive circuit because the tiny (prob around 32 gauge) wire broke and I didn't feel like rebuilding it. Assuming you could get the circuitry down using the positive resistor you might be able to solder a larger coil that may pick up through the case. If you figure it out I would be thrilled to know how you did it.

The only real reason I wanted to do it was because no one had done it on our phones yet. Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Nice find on that old thread. I've been wanting to do the same with my Sensation. Any idea about the fatty Mugen case? Just picked one up for $20. Seems a lot cheaper. Is the problem with the OEM case metal in the housing? Maybe this Mugen is all plastic.

There's a ton of space between the sim/sdcard and the housing (for the housing to be able to accommodate the double battery) and may be the perfect spot.

My idea is to hide a dozen rechargeable AA's or so inside a leather belt and have a holster (or pocket powermat). Seems like an actual reasonable use for inductive charging. Of course, it's just conceptual at this point. I need to determine if AA's are actually feasible (comfort and style wise) and whatever the inefficiencies are with inductive charging.

Looking to be able to go a week or so without having to recharge the phone/belt (figure I'm running through 1500mah every 10 hours or so, less when sleeping).
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
That sounds good, but with the weight of the rechargeables may pose a issue when it comes to portability when you are talking about a dozen of them. Why not just carry along a power bank? I have a 10000mAh one that charges two devices at once and is no bigger than a phone.

I mean I love the idea of inductive charging. I mean the GSIII has the option to do so.
[HTC Sensation] dobah:
I got one of these recently for my vacation. It takes AA batteries which is easily available or you can use rechargeables.

[HTC Sensation] dobah:
I think I'll try this one out but I do have one question. Is having 1 pin (assuming it is 5v) enough to complete the circuit? Doesn't it need a ground lead somewhere?

The pic is from http://www.qianqin.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/microusb.jpg
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
I don't understand your picture. Yes, you need a ground to complete the circuit. And without manipulating the data pins, you will be limited to a charge rate of 100mA.
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
ladys and gentlemen. assuming you are happy with only the 100ma cap then could you not logically just connect the wires to the battery terminals and allow that to charge it. leaving the usb port free?? i have had to do this once or twice in emergency situations when i didnt have the correct charging cable but had a damaged usb + laptop.
[HTC Sensation] afroken3130:
Yes, you will need to ground to any metal point to complete the circuit. I just sandwiched the wire between the sim and metal sim holder.
[HTC Sensation] orias:
I'm in the process of doing the same thing to my Sensation. I wanted to make sure that the Touchstone charger would support the weight of my phone in it's case, so I took the short cut of using parts from a microUSB charger to route from the induction coil terminals to the charge port. I'm halfway through routing all the necessary connections to go through the board instead of the charge port. In the attached picture, I've highlighted 2 test points that will let you route your +5v line into the board. I'll use the metal housing of the sim card reader to attach the ground.

hxxp://i.imgur.com/koag4.png

Since the back of the phone is metal and its always going to be in a case I'm going to have to use pogo plugs or some other form of metal contacts to go through the back housing to allow me to pull off the case/back whenever I need. I'll have my charge port free to use over USB as well :D
[HTC Sensation] tbsnc99:
Did you get it working?

Hi there, I have a htc sensation with a broken usb port and want to use it for inductive charging instead. So im wondering if you managed to ever get it working?

Regards Shaun.
[HTC Sensation] orias:
I did!, but not with pogo plugs for an elegant solution. I ended up just running the wires from the inductive charger through a hole drilled into the metal back and than routed to the pad shown in the picture and the sim card metal housing.
[HTC Sensation] dandywin:
Did you have difficulty with the metal backing interfering with the induction charger?

Ok, wife has a rooted and s off desire. It had 41 mb free internal space. Installed Google+ and Adobe air. Moved air to SD and moved Google+ with titanium and link2sd. Checked internal memory down to 25 mb. So I uninstalled both the apps. I now get a reading of 32 mb not 41 mb as it was before. Why?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi,

coz data used by those apps are still into dalvik cache.

use titanium back up to clean dalvik cache (menu/more)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
Hi.

It won t harm ur phone. If you do so advice to wipe cache. Be in mind while rebooting takes much time coz rebuilding dalvik-cache.

Dunno a2sdgui could be a good idea depends ur sdcard speed. If not class10 (mean write speed 10mb/s). Dalvik is often used by system so if bad sdcard performance can reduce you rom performance.

a2sd (move app 2 sd card) yes is enough

move your dalvik to you sd card no it to low (don't advice to do so)

have just look app mention a2sdgui requiered Requirements:

- ROOT

- busybox

- A2SD Darktremor Scripts V2.7.5.2 and above.

dunno if you got a custom rom (which means you got aswell a custom kernel)

if yes, have a look to system/etc/init.d folder this where script like this a based.

I need some help with increasing my internal storage;

The problem is i am a newfag and kind of no interested in any super roms with awesome tweaks etc. I just want the same 2.3.3 android htc gave us in update with old sense etc but with like a 1gb of memory for apps so what i need to do?

I tried to find something and here is what i think i need to do:

1.Security off

2. Root --> here is a question. Does a root dissapears after i do a factor reset?

3. Now i need to install some kind of custom recovery - dont rly know how

4. Install some rom????

I was reading and trying to understand the difference beetwen the apps2sd data2sd, there were some disscussions that data2sd slows your phone etc. but then someone ofc spoke that's incorrect... There is a lot of contradictions in topics so it's hard for someone new to get to know the topic well.

So know in the end i will just write once again:

I want 2.3.3 htc android from update with everything the way it was but with bigger internal storage. Is that possible? :P

What's the difference beetween the partition ext 2,3 and 4? It's related with speed or stability? ^^Do I even have an option to choose which one will I use? I have class 2 card from samsung which came with desire

I also dont exacly know which option i need to choose in my 4.0.1.4 CWM at Partition SD Card. I want like 1gb for apps :)

Also special thanks to MatDrOiD for quick reply :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl_arnet:
Different formatting, speed, stability etc.

ClockWorkMod is poor regarding the partitions.

Id your need good recovery, get the RMD Recovery.

Usually roms let user decide what ext he needs, but fire some there are specifications to ext 4 or ext 3.

Read rom requirements.

The higher the number of ext partition the faster it is.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyUT:
Sense ROMs take up more battery life because their is more going on, but I don't think its that drastic compared to AOSP. I use Nils 2.3/3.0 gingersense and I can normally go till next morning or miday after a charge.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcismo55:
The only AOSP rom I've run was MIUI and I would constantly get 24+hrs and sometimes over a day (1800mah battery).

There's still a lot of tweaks to come on the Sense ROMs so don't expect too much from them at this point in time. Once the GB kernel source is released and we get some custom kernels then the battery life of Sense roms may increase.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bull_Moose:
MIUI with Chad's Incredikernel will give you ridiculous battery life. I would get over 24 on one charge. That's what I used during Hurricane Irene when the power went out lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at4r1:
I use Jermaine's In-Sensitive Minimalist. It's kind of a mix between sense and AOSP. Alot of the sense has been removed, but it still kind of has that feel. Love it...very responsive and stable. By the time I get home from work, around 7pm, I still have like 70% battery remaining.

With a decent CM7 theme the stock camera doesn't look too bad. For instance, with Wizmod 2:

Ok well its saying the screenshot I took with cm7's built-in screenshot tool isn't a valid image. Gallery views it fine, dunno what's up. Ill try and upload it when I get home but trust me when I say it looks decent :)

Is MIUI flashed to replace the AOSP camera apk? Anyway I can restore it back to the stock camera if it is a flash? Just TB?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] General Crespin:
I didn't check that zip file specifically but most of the an I u I supplications are just apks that you can run concurrently. I'm using a sense rom right now simply because of the camera app, the aosp camera is just too slow and the random hard locks with the miui camera are unacceptable. I miss stock android. :(

It was the best HTC phone when it was released last year. It was easy to root, and there s still tremendous support from developers everywhere (RevolutionHD, MIUI etc).

Will need to wait till the support wears out, and a different form factor to consider upgrade.

I got it because it is the phone I ve been waiting all my life. Literally.

It does everything you may ask from it. Has a large screen but its not a brick.

It is stable and flawless. Looks great and if you ask me there isn't anything more you can do to a phone to look better.

The next phone will have to have better battery times although a car charger and a few USB cables here and there always do the trick.

Also a retractable keyboard would be nice only if the size/weight remains the same.

Otherwise what more can you want from a phone?

On my holidays, I was playing games, watching movies, taking (fantastic) pictures, shooting videos, listening to music, surfing the web..

Ok the iphone responds better and is still easier to use but only if you like the limitations of it. And I dont. Im used to my desire and in 6 months that Im getting an upgrade I will probably sell it and keep my desire.

Guys it is the first time in my gadget freaked life that I don't look forward to upgrading. I had today a glance at what's new purely out of curiosity and although the sensation looks nice and feels like a better phone on paper I bet my right arm i won't see any real difference between the two..
