[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
Well as it was said already, it's a huge screen, it's normal to drain a lot of battery. If your phone is new, the battery will get better. And if you don't have so much screen on time, it will last much longer. When I have a busy day, and not play around with my phone, it can last 2-3 days.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reviad:
That's the thing. I always have busy days. My smartphone is supposed to let me go to meetings and be an extension of my computer so that I can answer the plethora of emails I get on a daily basis while doing other things. I'm supposed to use my phone without being afraid of running out of battery mid day.

I guess I'm just frustrated because I think I made a bad choice with the s2, given the nature of use and the autonomy I expect from my device.

I can live with a laptop that needs to be plugged in all day, but my phone has to be very independent of a wall socket.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Are you saying that you will be using your phone more than 4 hours a day?

I'm talking about continuous screen time here.

Standard Samsung batteries are only about $10 or so. Having a backup might give some peace of mind. There are chargers on eBay to charge phone and spare at same time.

Samsung extended 2000mah battery costs around $40 and will give you 5 or 6 hours screen time.

A Desk top charger and car charger might help depending on your job.

Point me to the other phones you were choosing from and I bet they aren't too much different.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reviad:
Essentially, yes.

I work in advertising, so I'm out and about all day long. It isn't unusual for me to be running around the agency talking to the creative teams, or in the car going to a meeting, or getting on a plane. This is why the phone's autonomy is important to me.

Previously, I had a Bold 2. Before that, a Bold. Before that, a BlackBerry 8820. Before that a Nokia N95. Before that, I wasn't that much of a smartphone user.

The best phone I've had so far is the Bold 2. I could get by the whole day on a single charge. Sometimes I'd have to charge it in my car if I knew I was going to have a long night. Honestly, I ran out of battery just once. That 1500 mAH battery was a beast. To make things better, I could get a whole charge in just over an hour using the wall or car charger. My S2 took 3 hours and 20 minutes to charge from 0% to 100% yesterday.

I use my phone to answer email (a lot!), use Facebook, Twitter, read news, browse the web, navigate with Google Maps, play music through Bluetooth, calendar meetings, and chat with friends and colleagues through BBM, Gtalk, or WhatsApp, and phone calls, of course.

For reference, I've had my previous phone, the Bold 2, on for at least four days with no SIM chip and hooked on to my house's wifi and it still has around 60% battery left. Obviously this doesn't include screen time as I haven't used to.

I sound like a BlackBerry fan boy, I know, but I really like Android and I want to be able to use it. Maybe I just picked the wrong device, I don't know...

I am seriously considering getting another battery for my S2, but I feel like I'm worrying too much about the phone and I end up being at it's command instead of the other way around.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Yeah mate grab another battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reviad:
I just bought two and a wall charger.

Should be good enough :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
Hope you didn't get one of those cheap "gold" batteries... they will do more harm then good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reviad:
Nope, some guy on our local eBay sells a pack of two original 1650 mAH batteries and a wall charger for $50. I compared the pictures and they seem exactly as the one that came with my phone.

They are delivering them today.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
as everybody has said, comparing the SGS2 to the blackberry in terms of battery life is pointless, if the sgs2 had the same screen size as the blackberry then it would last a long time, but a 4.3 inch screen is always going to suck battery life. I learned this first with my HD2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reviad:
Batteries are here and they seem legit.

So now I solved my power problem by buying 2 more batteries lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anythingbuthuman:
So I go into settings> manage applications> select the app> move to sd card option.

it moves the app from my phone but I cannot find it on the external sd card, do I need a special app similar to root explorer to view the file on my external sd card like I do on my phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I flashed Humble 4.22 and I really don't like the animation. I would also like that robotic DRROID sound back. Does someone have the original files with instructions on how to change it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
First,

download the boot animation from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43901231/bootanimation.zip

and the bootup sound from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43901231/PowerOn.wav and place them on your sd card.

Next, use root explorer and go to SYSTEM/media and rename the"bootanimation.zip" that is in there to "bootanimation.zip.bak" then copy the stock animation from your sd card to the system/media directory.

For the sound file, copy the "poweron.wav" from your sdcard to SYSTEM/etc using root explorer. Reboot and enjoy. =)
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
On ES file explorer the file in /system/bin/ is "bootanimation"

I can rename it to "bootanimation.bak"

Then I can paste your file, which shows up as "bootanimation.zip"

Will this work? I am afraid to reboot and try
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
Sorry, good catch. bootanimation.zip needs to go in system/media. I'll edit my previous post.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Now I get a black screen with the DROID sound, no animation
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
May have been a bad download. Try downloading the one from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1247131

And trying again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
Well it looks like the bootanimation in that thread only contains a black frame. So unless you can find another source or someone who knows more than me replies you're stuck with the humble animation (Unless you want to just keep the black screen). Sorry.

To go back to the humble animation just delete the new bootanimation.zip from system/media and remove the .bak from the original humble animation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I flashed that it gave an error during flash and nothing changed.

EDIT: I read the above post

Hello all

why is it that TB cannot restore accounts.apk

had to delete it awhile back due to an password problem.

TB just kina endless loops on installing the apk

is this atrix related. cause i know TB on my xoom cannot "protect" a backup

that's a xoom related problem

thanks

Sounds like something that you may want to email the dev about.

That App keeps getting updated in the Market based on fix requests from end users. Just because it can't do it today doesn't mean that it won't tomorrow... ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] slotstik04:
I use ez pdf to highlight notes that are .doc and pdf, but are there any apps to highlight and take notes on powerpoint files? A lot of my professors use powerpoints as notes and I can't seem to find a good app to do this..anything similar to ez pdf that will work with powerpoint files? (such as highlight lines and very little actual handwritten input)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dbzvl:
You can convert ppt to pdf using a program such as microsoft office. I do this every week because my prof posts ppt on her website and I use my transformer in class.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmzombie:
ok so im a little new to the whole android thing but i managed to get my phone changed to boost..Im wondering now if i update the radio will it kill my change or since i have already gotten it on the network if it will be ok. im at radio version 1.07.00.1129 and i see there is an update to 1.08. thank you for your help.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
It shouldn't. To be quite honest with you I didn't notice much of a difference between 1.07 and 1.08.

Also, could you tell us how you got your phone flashed to Boost? What did the guy do? What were you missing when you were trying to flash it?

Please tell us so we can put this info in the Shift Boost thread.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
I actually did notice a huge difference in reception quality from .07 to .08. I also flashed the new WiMax Radio. The biggest difference was in 3G. Went from a usual -81dBm, to an average -72dBm.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmzombie:
I'm not quite sure what he did cause he used a program that blanked out my monitor when he was about to do it. I kow sounds fishy but I used my laptop so there was no issues with passwords or hacks to accouts. Used a program called teamviewer. All I know is he hbelped out a lot and I'm now typing this from the shift
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
Yeah he basically logged in via remote desktop (teamviewer) to your computer, blacked your screen so you couldn't see what he was doing, he probably did most of the stuff that's in the tutorials and called boost mobile with your old account number.

http://www.jkdigitech.com/remoteactivationtype1.htm
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmzombie:
I already had setup on boost so i dont think he did that..i did most of the tut but couldnt get the esn zeroed out. i got the meid though...maybe it was some sort of lock. anyways nobody seen any changes with the 07 to 08 cause i read a few pages of random other forums that was about 50% good and 50 percent didnt do a thing.

Hi,

I'm trying to use my sip account on my nexus s. With CM 7.1 I am able to use the default voip application included in Gingerbread even on 3g. But when I'm setting it to receive calls the battery drains very fast, about 10%/hour.

Anybody having a solution for that...other then telling me to use third party applications.

Thank you

[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
Just like the title says. I am through with Sprint and their bull****! Since they partnered with icrap there is nothing about Sprint that appeals to me anymore and I am cancelling my service with them. To get into the phone and carrier that I want it is going to cost me $475.00 so I am selling my Sprint phones and am going to give someone a GREAT DEAL. I have 2 EVO 3d's and an original EVO 4g. All of them can be yours for only $475.00 No I didn't stutter, $475.00 gets you all three phones

PM me or send an email to pirish00g@gmail.com

First come first serve.

**** Sprint!

UPDATE: PHONES HAVE BEEN SOLD!!!!!! Thank you to everyone that has shown an interest and I wish that I had enough to accommodate all the requests.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheKucho:
Holy crap that's cheap lol. Too bad I'm on tmobile.
[HTC EVO 3D] bonebeatz1234:
Tmobile been real good to me worth checking out. I once had sprint but wasn't that great far as signal strengh in Chicago. Good luck
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Hopes no one was Force-Choked prior to the rage. :(

But damn, that is a sweet ass deal!
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
If they weren't on the phone there is a good chance that they would have been
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
What did they do? You didn't say...
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
The list is just way too long.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
Are you going to pay your last bill so the phones aren't blacklisted? Good deal as long as the esns ate clear.
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
Of course I am. I have good credit and even though Sprint has pissed me off it is not near enough for me to ruin my credit over. Not to mention that I have a very good reputation on this and other sites which is also not worth ruining by selling bad merchandise. ALL three esn#'s are good and I will wait until the buyer transfers the phones to their name before I close the account.
[HTC EVO 3D] runcool:
I really hate you right now! I just paid 650 bucks for mine! For one!
[HTC EVO 3D] churro7:
Are you leaving because they have the iphone or cuz their service sucks
[HTC EVO 3D] apatcas:
can you sell just one 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
Right now I want to sell all of them together and I think I have them sold but we will see. If I were to sell them one at a time I would want 300 a piece for the 3d's and 250 for the og EVO. I really want to get rid of them as soon as I can which is why the ridiculously low price. That way I can pay sprint off, get into my new phone, and go on with life!
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
good luck! hope you find a carrier that suits you better.

Dude I feel you on this... I left Verizon on which I had the best service ever but now I hate sprint.. specially the fact that we pay for premium data and I barely get service in my area... Sprint sucks Period....
[HTC EVO 3D] ultra78721:
I agree with ya .....sprint has unlimited data blah blah blah , but whats the use if most of the time you cant download due to the slow speeds of 3g even 4g:mad:

of course this is in my city..austin texas:rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] Dstiger1:
WHat phone do you want? anyway? ... YOU know there are limits at everyother carrier tooooo right?
[HTC EVO 3D] tuscani1821:
I'm in Austin too but my 4g is usually consistent at 7mbs. 3g is well....unusable lol
[HTC EVO 3D] sankewl:
If you haven't sold it already shoot me a P.M.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I'll take all three, if any deals fall through. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
I think the rule is slow speed generally all over with those exceptions where speed should be what it really is. In a year from now...hopefully be better.
[HTC EVO 3D] 4 Door Skyline:
Hate to jump in on your thread, but I got an OG Evo 4G for sale too....pm's appreciated

Good luck with whoever you decide to go with. I have to agree that sprint has been heading in the wrong direction and is starting to get on my nerves...

Sprint needs to get it In gear

Out of curiosity, what phone and carrier?
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
Now I am with GCI in Alaska and my new phone is the galaxy s2 4g. So far the phone has exceeded my expectations, though the build quality seems cheap compared to htc phones. The screen on the other hand blows away any of the Evo screens that I have had.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Radio problems (los)

Gps lock issue?

Internal flash counter!?

Burn ins/lines?
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
So far I have had zero issues with any aspect of the phone. It is a gsm rather than cdma, but I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Cdma has los

All have the others...

That i have seen anyway
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
No issues yet, but I have only been into the phone for less than a day. I have been pretty hard on it though putting it through the paces.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
They are monsters compared to the EVO... You can never lag it... Samsung did a good job with the Hardware acceleration

But for the many problems people ran into I feel it wasn't the best "stable" device

I really never had a problem with it either just like HTC more
[HTC EVO 3D] ls3mach:
I will take all 3 if available.
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
I have always had HTC phones myself starting with the Mogul and have had every major device that they have produced. I honestly think that HTC makes a superior product, but having this Samsung Galaxy is making me a believer. It feels cheap in my hand compared to any HTC product I have ever had, but so far it is out preforming any HTC product that I have had straight out of the box. Only time will tell if I get plagued by the bugs or not, but as of now the phone runs flawlessly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

I can truly understand the sentiment. I have been with Sprint since 1999 continuously with a perfect Payment History and always using the best Handsets that were available. (for many years that was a oxymoron)

Since October, the changes have been stark. The end of Billing to your Account, the termination of the Premier Program, far stricter criteria for exchanges, etc...

I literally had to call around 20 times to get my 3D exchanged due to horrific Call Quality and random Reboots. In the past, it would have taken one call at most. To add insult to injury, the Refurbished 3D sent to me is Hboot 1.50 which means I have to use HTC's Method if I want to Root. Hopefully, this will change but I am not terribly optimistic.

All the more insane, it was actually someone in the Advanced Technical Support Department that came through for me as opposed to Retention. Retention has turned into a worthless place to affect any positive actions on your Account.

As I had literally purchased every Sprint Phone at the Store Billed to my Account for 12 years, I am bummed. Even worse, when there are Mail in Rebates (which are returning), they are no longer cutting Checks after having to wait 6 Weeks. Instead, you get a bloody Amex Gift Card. And now the Return Policy is 14 Days instead of 30.

Add in the fact that Wimax is an orphaned technology, and all of these changes and everything that made Sprint worthwhile is being thrown away just for the damned iPhone. Sprint seems to be acting like they are VZN or AT&T, but there Subscribers pale in comparison. And now they are treating their most loyal Customers like they do not matter. If I did not have one last annual upgrade coming in June, I would have bailed. Already, I have gotten my ETF waived so I might leave earlier.
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
All those reasons you just described is exactly why I left. The last straw was when I called retentions and was hung up on after a particularly terse response. Like you I also have been a Sprint customer with a spotless account for quite a number of years and to be treated the way that they did is unforgivable.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
You're leaving Sprint because they started to sell "iCrap"? I hope there's more to this than is listed in your main post, because that sounds a little illogical.
[HTC EVO 3D] pirish1:
Perhaps, if you had taken the time to read through the thread, or even the post just above yours, you may have been a little more enlightened. I'm just sayin'.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Fair enough. Just assumed that sort of explanation would be in the OP, because the OP makes it sound like the "iCrap" was the cause of your problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
Your just fing stupid to think Sprint could match the data and voice coverage of Verizon. You should of asked around before signing that paper in the Sprint store. As for the premium data thing, all I hear is *****, *****, *****, nag, nag, nag. I had Verizon too, there reps are just plain stupid so you fit right in with them.

OP has just got sand in his vag though.

And do nvflash again.

Is there anyway to stream movies via HDMI cable directly from tabket to tv. With no special docks
[Galaxy Tab General] tonyt3rry:
I don't think so i was looking into this a while back it would be a great mod. If I had the dock id take it apart
[Galaxy Tab General] squirreldon:
Need Seperate Adaptor

It would have been nice if they had built either an HDMI or MiniHDMI port right on the tab, but instead, you need to purchase an adaptor for HDMI output.

Samsung makes one called the "Samsung Galaxy Tab HDTV Adaptor", Samsung part number EPL-3PHPBE. With it, you plug in one end to the 30 pin connector port on your tab, then connect the 30 pin power cable that came with the tab into the adaptor (thus allows the unit to charge / stay charged while in use), and connect a standard HDMI cable to the other end of the HDTV adaptor.

You can purchase direct from Samsung, $49 I think, but I got mine on Amazon for $24.95.

Hope that helps mate.
