Got my battery today. Charged it up, doing a calibration now. Seems like it should be better, though.
[Fascinate Accessories] saps:
If you are calibrating now its too early to pass judgement. Give it a day or three. Its not revolutionary but you definitely do gain the extra 20% the pure mah numbers suggest you should.

I've had mine now for several days and here are my numbers for everyone's info:

Running CM7.1 the stable release and the 9/22HL Glitch kernel @ 1.4 [smartass governor] with uv of -200mv from 100-400Mhz and -100mv 800-1400Mhz I can get in the neighborhood of 3 hours of screen on time with the stock battery. In fact my testing with the cpu at a steady 1.4Ghz with the aforementioned -100mv at that step its right around 2h,50m with the stock 1500mah battery. With the 1800mah that figure jumped to 3h,30m. This was tested by merely playing games where the cpu locks in at max step [grave defense, monopoly stuff like that]. These tests were done from a 100% to 0% drain. Its debatable whether the 1800 might even improve after more charge cycle but the numbers I actually got are what I am reporting.

Supplementary info: now this is less accurate since its relying on the battery percentage estimate remaining. But with the 1500mah battery I used to see a rate of drain of around 8-9% per hour when using the music player screen off. With the 1800 the drain rate seems to be more like 6-7%. Again not rocking the earth but right where it should be for 20%.

Bottom line it seems across the boards that I/you/we'll see about 20% more battery life just as the linear numbers suggest.

Hope that helps fence sitting buyers. :)
[Fascinate Accessories] sol_671:
Do any of you think that this battery is anyway harmful for our phone since its not made for it in the first place? Thinking of purchasing this. I just remember awhile back that I read somewhere that i can't just use any galaxy s battery and etc. There was no fascinate batteries at that time and cancelled getting a spare captivate battery.Any thoughts on this?
[Fascinate Accessories] saps:
You're probably remembering the verizon induced block on third party batteries built into Touchwiz roms, if you're on the property room now that's no longer a worry. Bottom line this works just fine
[Fascinate Accessories] sol_671:
So that means I cant use this on TSM Resurrection ROM? Only on MTD's. Thanks, just wanted to clarify things.
[Fascinate Accessories] davwman:
running geewiz and have the unsupported battery issue what has to be done to fix it? tried searching can't seem to find an answer.
[Fascinate Accessories] OhioYJ:
These batteries won't hurt your phone.

They will work even in stock form, they just can't be charged in the phone without a custom kernel.

You do not need to be on an AOSP rom to use aftermarket batteries. You just need a kernel that has the battery hack in it, (Most had this), at least to charge the battery in the phone.

I've been using aftermarket batteries essentially since I got my fascinates, back in the TW days I used the OTB kernel to charge them in the phone.
[Fascinate Accessories] sol_671:
Thanks for the reply, I'm going to order it now.
[Fascinate Accessories] suppliesidejesus:
Dude, really? I wrote the freaking battery calibration thread that's since been buried. I mean, c'mon. :rolleyes:

In other news, it's a pretty fantastic improvement.
[Fascinate Accessories] saps:
Dude, really? :p

Different opinion after a few days eh thread calibration author ;)
[Fascinate Accessories] kloos:
Sorry for the dumb confirmatory question, but this means that even if I'm rooted (but without a custom rom), I won't be able to charge the battery in the phone?
[Fascinate Accessories] chopper the dog:
Quote from first post. "***TOUCH WIZ USERS*** The fascinate has a hardware check that will only allow for the use of "vzw" specific batteries. So before you order one confirm that your current custom kernel has the hardware check disabled and that you can use/charge 3rd party batteries."

You can remain on the stock rom. You need to be running a custom kernel with the check removed. But I have no clue as to what kernels will allow for this on touch wiz currently.

good day.
[Fascinate Accessories] OhioYJ:
You need a custom kernel, not necessarily a custom ROM. You can install a custom kernel, and not a ROM if you want.

But you are correct, rooted (or not for that matter), stock kernel, the battery will power the phone, but it won't charge from any cable.

External desk chargers are a workaround if you want, and are cheap as well. I almost never charge batteries in the phone anyways, but it's nice to be able to if I need to.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Just for clarification, the battery will power the phone, it just can't be charged in the phone. Meaning you need a custom kernel, or an external battery charger.
[Fascinate Accessories] kloos:
Thanks for the replies!
[Fascinate Accessories] jcurley:
anyone got any pics of how this fits in the Fassy?

I am thinking I might be able to grind the case out a little to make it fit perfectly. I have the VZW belt clip, so I need to make sure it will fit in the case.
[Fascinate Accessories] chopper the dog:
Take your back cover off and imagine the label being black instead of blue. As stated before the stock cover snaps over it. All your cases will work the same as before.

good day.
[Fascinate Accessories] suppliesidejesus:
Yeah, one was a preliminary judgment pre-calibration, and one was a confirmation of that preliminary judgment post-calibration after a few charge cycles.

Reading comprehension much?
[Fascinate Accessories] AmanteNJ:
Ordered through amazon ... same price, can't wait to test it:)
[Fascinate Accessories] AmanteNJ:
anyone has the patch to remove the unsupported battery error?
[Fascinate Accessories] chopper the dog:
As stated in the OP and throughout this thread numerous times. You need to flash a custom kernel that has the hardware check removed and the kernel needs to be compatible with the rom you are currently running.

good day.

[Fascinate Accessories] adamklo:
Is the difference between 1500 and 1800 really that noticeable, especially with all the kernel control we have these days?

Fas as Fas can be, you'll never crash me!
[Fascinate Accessories] saps:
Well its at least the 20% the numbers suggest. I've had mine over a month now. So its not super massive like double your on screen time but its noticeable enough. Expect 20% over the stock maybe a tad more if you had a year old battery like I did.
[Fascinate Accessories] exzacklyright:
took a good 15 seconds to figure out why the phone cover wouldn't snap on lol
[Fascinate Accessories] saps:
does your original cover not snap on with the 1800. Granted its tighter but you'd be the first I know of who didn't fit
[Fascinate Accessories] exzacklyright:
it fit but barely lol. I have a cover though over the back snap on so it won't ever pop off.

Great question for a battery thread... not. But what I can talk about is using the search function. Hmmm, "what is a voodoo kernel" would be a good place to start. The subject of voodoo kernels has been covered quite well in this forum and many others for the last 12 months.

Gotta update this for everyone, just ordered one from Amazon and it was $15 plus $3 shipping. I have the Naztech 2500ah battery and its amazing you can't kill the phone no matter what you do (calibrating the battery is fun lol) but no protective case fits it- and I paid for that last week I dropped my phone and the screen broke (phone still works great tho) so for when I'm at work here I need a battery that will fit in a case. I'll save the Naztech for when I'm walking in the woods or something.

How did you install whatsapp on the wifi only Transformer? A friend of mine tried it on his, but got an error message saying it can't recognize the device. I have an Acer Iconia A501 which accepts a SIM card, and it installs properly even though I didn't insert a SIM card, I think it only detects the device capabilities, not whether it physically has a SIM card. Anyway, I was able to use the Call Me function in the Iconia, but my friend can't even get it to install on his Transformer. How'd you do it?

Maybe Titanium Backup can be used to restore the data from an mobile phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre118:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wout1976:
u must have root acces

It is possible to install Whatsapp on a Asus tablet.

But you must have Whatsapp already working on your Android phone.

Just make a backup All apps and data with Titanium backup from Whatsapp on your phone.

Go into the TitaniumBackup folder at your phone and copy the three files starting with com.whatsapp to your Asus tablet. U have to put these files in a folder named TitaniumBackup.

Then download Titanium Backup on your tablet.

In settings, applications, Development enable USB debugging and allow mock locactions. At applications enable Unknown sources.

Go to Titanium Backup and scroll to the com.whatsapp file.

Restore app and data.

Now you should have working Whatsapp !

I dont have a problem with that.

What is the wifi disconnection setting set at?

I found that i will only receive messages on one or the other device. which is fair enough.

but the contacts thing is a little distracting. you can tell by what they are saying in the conversation. plus its also a great way to learn your firends numbers.

If you don't have a mobile line in your TF, its imposible to configure Whatsapp, since it sends a message to your mobile phone to confirm your number. The only way to have Whatsapp in a WiFi tablet is as described above. And you will need root.

I'm sure the initial setup process was carried out on another android device, and then backed up, restored to the prime. (as the process has been mentioned)

However, I wasn't sucessful in getting whatsapp to work. It is working, but messages aren't being sent or received :( (I've remove whatsapp from the original phone, its only on the prime)

i've managed too install whatsapp on my transformer with the sd card files and the files from data/data/whatsapp.com

Doing this the whatsapp version on your tablet won't ask or look for device id

And it all works fine even with names of the contacts. But when i say one thing on my foon too a contact if whatsapp is open on my tablet the reply will be on my tablet :laugh:

/edit : going too test it with messages from a friend of mine.

* Test when syncronising is of on tablet if everything is normal ? I will let you know about it.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Okay just tested the above story. When syncronisation is on and thus i using the tablet i will get all messages on tablet and not on foon

When in the same conversation sync is switched of on the tablet (when i quit playing on my tablet) the messages then sent will be there on my foon.

So it works 100 % for me. Its handy that i don't have too pick up my foon too respond when im busy with my tablet :cool:

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

So no trouble with titanium backup

Just install whatapp on foon

Install whatsapp on tablet

Copy sd card files from foon too tablet and place them in root directory

Copy whatsapp files from data/data/whatsapp from your foon and place them onto your tablet overwriting the existing files. (It solves the problem of device id)

Now only put sychronisation on and you can whatsapp on the tablet.

Back to foon. Don't forget to put sycronisation off on tablet!

Both devices have to be rooted and you need root explorer or ex file explorer to copy paste the files

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mike99:
Hi,

I have several bluetooth questions.

1. On my old TP2, once paired with BT in my car, as long as I would leave phone bluetooth on, it would auto connect every time I started my car. Nothing had to be done unless I reset the phone or turn BT off.

With ET4G, I have to manually go to BT settings and clique on my car BT to have it paired every single time I get into my car. Is that the way it works for everyone or is there a problem? It finds the car BT when I start the car, but does not auto pair.

2. I know officially Skype and Gtalk do not support BT audio out. Is there a way around? I use those apps to video chat while on the road, and on highway, speakerphone is too weak. Besides, it is located on the back of the phone, right against the windshield holder. Any ideas???

Thanks.

Mike

Hey all-

I love this rom, but have been having some weird problems that I can't seem to find answers to. I appreciate the help!

-Whenever I reboot the phone or plug in the charger, the locations app opens and asks about downloading maps. After I download said maps, the locations app still opens whenever I reboot the phone/plug in the charger, only now it wants me to activate my premium navigation. I don't use this, so I click cancel, but the problem continues.

-Whenever I answer or make phone calls, the speaker phone comes on. I can turn it off and speak normally, but it shouldn't default to on whenever I make a call. I found a similar issue online, which said that it was due to an accelerometer fault. It was suggested that I uncheck the option that said 'flip to activate speaker'. This solution did not help. It was then suggested that I recalibrate the accelerometer and restart the phone. I could not do this. Whenever I try to recalibrate the accelerometer, I get an error which says 'calibration aborted'.

- The phone turns off randomly. Usually when I'm in the middle of doing something on the phone. It may be due to a faulty battery cover, but I'm not sure. Is this a reported issue with the rom?

- I am unable to turn the phone off without removing the battery. The lock button works fine, but holding it down does not bring up the power menu. It was working fine, but then it randomly stopped.

I have re-flashed the rom multiple times, and even done some full wipes and then re-flashed, but these issues keep returning.

THanks all

-Gideon
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Look I don't know if this actually helps but here it goes:

1. When installing the Rom make sure that you have formatted the sd card. For me this was a solution for many bugs, including navigation ones.

2. Some Roms have an option in call settings that has the speaker turning on when a call is answered, it could be in tweaks also.

3. Do you do Titanium Backup? If so this may also be the culprit. By backing up system data and application info, all previous settings and in your case bugs and problems may be coming back too.

What I do:

1. Format sd

2. Full wipe

3. Mount USB storage

4. Transfer Rom zip

5. Unmount and install from zip

6. After Rom is settled, then I put my Titanium backup files on the sd but only restore the apps not the settings or system data.

7. Also I fix permissions with rom manager just to prevent any bugs.

Again just what I do, hope it helps you out.

[Droid Incredible General] nandhu1987:
You're right! Please post if you find a better camera..
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
I don't think anyone is questioning the validity of you wanting a different camera. I believe BrettApple is asking what you don't like about the CM camera because knowing this information could help people make better recommendations.

Maybe you want more special effect options

Maybe you want a different shutter mode

Depending on what you are looking for, people will be able to make better recommendations.

I've personally used CM7 stock cam, MIUI cam on CM7, Vignette (a market app), and Camera Zoom FX (a market app).

These days I just use the stock CM7 cam for most stuff. I occasionally fire up the MIUI cam so I can take advantage of the burst shutter mode. I don't have any other cameras currently installed.
