[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Just got my 3600 Mugen Power extended battery last night. Came 100% charged out of the box. I love this thing and can tell it is quality built. Phone actually feels better in the hand with it as opposed to with stock battery & cover. I'm running CM9 Alpha ICS (not so great with battery consumption) but my phone lasted 12 hours with heavy use. Still need to break it in too (instructions said 4 to 5 100% to 0% runs)!

Also got my battery indicator to calibrate with it as well...

Here is the trick: You must charge the extended battery to 100%, power off device, boot into recovery and then wipe battery stats and reboot phone. Leave the phone on until the battery drains totally dead and the phone shuts off automatically because of it. After this charge the phone back to 100% without removing it from the charger (took 4 hours for me) and enjoy, you're now calibrated to the extended battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Nice I just got the trexcell one off Amazon. Reviews were good. If it is crap then at least it was cheap lol. I over night it. Should be here tomorrow
[Motorola Photon 4G] NukeFish:
You said it actually feels better in hand, I'm sure the added weight has to do with that. What about pocket size though? Is it a pain to get in and out of a pair of jeans? Just flashed CM 7.2 and I'm doing the whole calibrate thing. I hope what you detailed works, good thing I've got all day to play with it and run it down from 100% to 0 before I have to go out with it tomorrow. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] porcupineli:
I like the added bulk and I also think that this is the proper size of today's smartphone. I don't agree with OEM phone makers because they aren't true with customers when making so slim phones...Nokia made it clear that phones should work 7-14 days. Can you imagine your Android working that long???
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
How are the batts working out??

@El Shaddai's Wrath and @jbuggydroid

How did the batteries work out for out for you. It be great to have some feedback on how the two batteries are holding up, how long they are lasting and if the battery indicator on the Photon are working correctly with the bigger batteries!

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ckang008:
is there anywhere that has discount for this Mugen battery ?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] epark1281:
Discounts?

I'd appreciate a discount too. I can't see myself dishing out $50+ for a battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdenloe:
I've been using the Mugen battery for 2 weeks now. I'm getting 2 days of usage with the same activity as I was doing before. I'm very happy with battery life and performance. Yes hated paying the 98$ but IMO it was worth it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
I guys, i want to root my phone but i don't want to loose any data.

So what's the best way to do it?

I've been reading about this and for my surprise its an unclear process.

If i understood this correctly, google backups my setting automatically when i tick "backup my settings" option. Also contacts are secure and i don't care about sms.

What about apps data? I don't want to backup the apps, i can download that from market again. I just want the data. I read about doing a full backup with cwm, is this possible? Does it work, i have it installed already so it would be a nice option.

As you can see i have many doubts. Can you help? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
if u have flashed cwm then its quite easy.. First switch off ur phone.. Then go to recovery mode by pressing the home button and power button simultaneously..in the recovery mode u can c many options..just navigate to backup and restore and then press backup.. Note-touchscreen does not work in recovery mode..u need to use volume up down buttons to move and home button to navigate.. When u want to restore just do the same process but select restore this time..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
thanks, now i only need to find the courage to root.

it gave me an error:

can't mount /system. help please
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
What were u trying to do.. Rooting or backing up
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
i was backing up. and then it gave me this errors

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Go to the recovery mode and then go to mounts and storage.. do u c these options..

Unmount/cache

mount/ system

Mount / sd

Etc....

try to mount all the options and try again..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
i can only mount sd.

all the others give me a can't mount /... error

Is it possible that it doesn't work because the phone isn't rooted?

Because from what i read nandroid backup only works with a rooted phone. Is it possible that its the same with cwm
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Yea.. Maybe.. But if u want to root.. U can do that easily without any harm.. If u want to revert back just flash a new firmware through Odin.. U can find suitable firmware from Samfirmware.com
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
yes i know that. My only problem is that rooting will wipe away all my data. And i didn't want that. Its allot of hours spent playing angry birds and others.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Hari23:
Your data will be safe so its safe to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
+1

Ur data will b safe..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
thank you all for your patience. And if you have some more, what's the best method to root the mini, Superoneclick?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Super one click didn't work for me on gingerbread but I think now its fixed.. Btw I used the update.zip flashing method..

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] genieass:
Rooting will not wipe data. One method to root is - you simply get into recovery mode and flash upd_1.zip.

Other method is to flash clockworkmod recovery. This uses odin to flash the tass-recover-cwm.tar file while the phone is in download mode. Neither method touches the ROM.

See above. I hope you are meaning the Samsung Galaxy MIni GT S 5570, and not the sony experia mini.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
yes, im talking about the galaxy mini. And i can't root it in samfirmware's gingerbread.

I just spend more than 6 hours on superoneclick, upd_1.zip and intensive googling and i can't do it.

I couple of weeks ago i flashed cwm 4.0.xx, just for the sake of it. So if there is any way to root it through there i would apreciate the help.

upd_1.zip aborts and doesn't root.

error log:

I even tried to change the script file inside upd_1.zip with various GT-S5570 models like GT-S5570L, E, B or G and no success.

I also tryed AceGingerRoot.zip that is very similar to upd_1.zip and dispite not giving any errors it doesn't root the phone. No superuser installed.

I'm out of ideas but i don't give up.

Thanks for the previous answers guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] genieass:
If tass-recovery-cwm.tar is installed through ODIN, that does not root the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
It should root? Because i definetly have cwm installed through ODIN on my mini.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Mount your system first.. in the recovery menu go to Mounts and storage.. And mount system.. Then go back and try to flash root.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
i can only mount cache and sd. The other options give me an error.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
There is something wrong.. have u upgraded ur mini to gingerbread?? If yes then u must have downloaded the firmware?? Plz reply
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
yes i upgraded through samfirmware site using ODIN 4.38 and all. I still have all the files i used for that.

I'm sure i'm on gb because it says so on my phone info. And i really don't think i did something wrong because my phone works very fine. Except that is unrootable...

My only concern is that i shouldn't have installed cwm before rooting the phone and thats causing the problems.

Where can i download the newest version of CWM? Maybe that fix it.

Or is there some way that i can install stock recovery without flashing a new fw.

These are the only options that came into mind. If that doesn't fix it, i'll probably have to go back to froyo. Or i don't root it, although that sucks as a option.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] muhardo:
Try This

Have many app on market. Just search using 'backup' keyword. But I recommended using Titanium Backup with your device rooted. I think it's more than enough.

:D :D :D

If this helps you, pls send thank you :) :) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
it doesn't help but thanks for trying
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
I'm guessing your still using stock ROM which is formatted as RFS. Our current CWM does not support RFS file system
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] genieass:
???

If you use one of the XXX*KP* (or any other file from samfirmware, you LOSE root on the phone. So, if you flash one of those files, root again using CWM from odin.

And how do you verify if you have root?? I use "root checker" app. SInce I am on CM 7.1, i do not have root checker - "super user" shows up in the list of installed applications.

See cwm gives some problem.. Can u download the xxkpk firmware.. That does not deletes your data when u flash through Odin.. But this time don't flash cwm.. Then put that update.zip to ur sd-card.. Be sure u don't put it inside any folder.. then go in the recovery mode and safely root ur device
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
Did this and its not root. I have installed KPI 3 months ago or so. Right in the beginning and i didn't root it then because i thought it was a complicated process.

That the version i currently have, thanks

But when i flashed KPI (using the 4 files system) and updated from froyo to gb i lost everythink. Why do you think the same will not happen now?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Because xxkpk is not that 4 files.. Its only one tar file which does not formats ur system.. Try this not trust me u won't lose ur data.. B sure its xxkpk. If u need any help then u can refer this.. http:// xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255305

SUCCESS!!!!!!!! Man you are a life saver:D:D:D:D

Many thanks for your help (i think i gave 10 or so because of this thread:p), i finally rooted the phone. Thanks for your patience. And of course thanks to all the others that tried to help.

Btw, it worked exactly as you said, i flashed kpk through odin, stock recovery was installed and then i was able to root through upd_1.zip. Very simple. It took me 10 min. to do the hole process. Not counting the 10h or so i spend before this:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
congrats dude.. N welcome.. btw thanx for all those thanks.. They really matter to me..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vyseus:
I've rooted my phone using Super One Click, then install CWM using odin, but I cant seem to backup anything, i can mount all other device but fail to mound / system , / sd-ext and / data.

Should I do a factory reset 1st?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kitrax59:
Are you backing up a stock ROM? Note that CWM does not support rfs files system on stock ROM. If you want to back up application data, better use Titanium Backup or similar tools.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vyseus:
owh ok. I got a stock rom donwloaded from a blog. I cant extract, cause every time i use the password it just say i got the wrong password. got it from here
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kitrax59:

[LG Optimus 2x] brezzo:
Hi,

I am having an issue where the screen takes a solid 1-2 seconds to power on after the phone has been sleeping/idling. Sometimes it's not so bad but it's becoming quite annoying, and sometimes I think the screen turns off again before it can show the lockscreen and I have to pull out the battery to fix it!

Cm7.1 stable w/cm7 kernel. Was happening on stock too.

Does anyone know a way around this? Widgetlocker doesn't seem to fix it :(

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] leonclement:
i am having a similar issue on Topogigi's v1.9, no issue on his 1.4 version, very annoying!
[LG Optimus 2x] BenMasters:
noticed with Topogigi's ROM since v1.9:

This issue is even worse when a call comes in: The fon will vibrate about 4-5 seconds before the screen turns on to shows the caller. Until then you can not see whos calling.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
On Horsepower rc1 kernel and topo 1.9 I can't say I have noticed this issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] BenMasters:
Used fon was already running on v2.0 with RC1 kernel.

Also did a clean flash of the rom again to eliminate possible issues of other apps running. But this has no effect on the problem. It still persists: When a call comes in, the fon vibrates up to 5 seconds before the screen turns on. Even then, you first see the unlock screen and about a second later the screen with the incomming call. Reproducability 10/10 times. Notice that vibration for incomming calls has to be set as "always on" in settings to reproduce problem!

Extremely annyoing because call can not be answered or dismissed while fon keeps ringing! Already missed calls because called hung up before screen unlocked.

Don't know if its a kernel or rom issue...
[LG Optimus 2x] pordokoftis:
Advice

The best way for you not to have troubles is to pick a stable rom and flash it!
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
If you are on Topogigi ROM, This has already been explaine in the FAQ.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Look in my signature. Download the Andrev OC app.

Set asleep maximum frequency to 800 or 1016.

Problem solved.

p.s.: I really appreciate the work of topogigi and spica for roms and kernel. They run 1000x better than the stock roms so I would never follow an inappropriate advice to fall back on those. Must be the urge to reach the amount of 10 posts for some ppl to get access to the dev area...

It seems that has a tavarua fm chip, which is disabled(maybe huwuei didn't manage to make it work). This info comes from the developer of spirit fm radio after I provided to him some log infos.

One redactor of the mobile magazine wrote: in the official rom isn't fm radio soft, but when I installed the soft from market, then the fm radio was working.

So, I think the fm radio is possible to work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Probably he means an internet radio app. There isn't any app for fm radio except spirit fm AFAIK and that doesn't support ideos X5
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pohan2:
Yeah that is possible.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
anyone with the stock rom can comfirm that?

Maybe you need to speak with the developer of spirit fm(it has a topic on android apps and games session). He did some research about it and maybe he can give you some directions.

I can't do it myself as i have no dev experience .If we have a chip inside why do we have it if it's not working? It's a waste of money.Can someone check?

My problem starts when I'm using Froyobread v023b by doixanh and when one time that I played music, the speaker of my phone suddenly mutes while playing.:confused: So I try to discover why it didn't work and when I tap the back of my phone(at the speaker side) it suddenly produce sound again. It also happened when I play videos or playing games. At first I suspected that my speaker was broken and I decided to restore SE's stock rom. But when I used my phone for one week in stock rom it didn't had any problem at all.:eek: So I guess maybe the problem was on the rom. After that, I flash GingerDX v017 by doixanh and there was a time that it stops producing sound while playing music again. Does anyone have the same problem or any solutions??
