[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blackstar84:
I think, there is certainly space for a bigger battery, considering it is almost same hardware inside on the S2 it should be plenty of room for a bigger battery. Maybe they could used a bigger battery which was thinner...anyway..if you could always have two batteries an extra battery in your pocket... the battery does not cost much..

But yeah I like if you had the choose to buy a bigger battery like on your picture, and then buy a new back case..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ajoshi:
I am happy with the thickness as is and wouldn't want to increase it. I can always use titanium to freeze any apps that I require for little extra reach anyways.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Riku101:
I don't need a 6000mah battery :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] csasek:
+1

and so far I would say the Note has better power consumption vs. battery size than my SGSII did.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lsquare:
Is that really true? I don't get the impression from the other battery life thread that the Note can last an entire working day without dying. If that's possible then great, but I would appreciate if you can provide just a bit more details about your usage. Let's put it like this, will the Galaxy Note last from 8 AM to 8 PM with my defined usage pattern listed below.

I don't need a battery that will last 2 or more days. I need a phone that will work permit hours of web browsing, 4 push e-mail accounts, and instant messaging running in the background. My iPhone 4 will easily last the entire day thank to the battery case. If it wasn't for my Mophie case, then I wouldn't be able to do it.

Is 15% brightness adequate?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gede:
Right.

I had a mophie for my iPhones, a battery pack for my S2, and would like a longer lasting Note. Especially for the Note, since its size invites to keep my desktop turned off.

But the battery included with the Note doesn't survive a whole day of heavy use, just moderate use.

So you have to revert to Juice defenders, mophies and keep an eye on the battery, carry chargers etc.

It would be, at least for me, very convenient and relaxing to have a phone where you don't need to think about power management.

And I think I am not alone.

It would be easy for Samsung to make a longer lasting phone, and it would sell.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MartijnMM:
Make 2 versions, 2500 and 5000 for instance....let the people decide !!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robertsydbrink:
I use my note alot during my workdays. And it last my 8 hour day easy with realy heavy use.

But like today when ive been busy with my machine at work ive just had radio on the whole day and maby got around 1-2 hour of browsing, watching movie, gaming, etc. And after 8 hours my battery is on 75%.

Whats draining most of my battery is the connection with the 3g network and syncing. Using my msn app the whole day will make it drain alot more.

And the screen. If you have the screen on alot it will drain the battery realy fast with high brightness. So the lower you can have the better. The difference between 75% and 25% is huge for me.

And for those that will have more battery power i think a external batterypack is pretty good solution. Ive one for backup for times when i know im going to use my phone much during a long time without the possibility to charge.

Can have my batterypack in my pocket while i use and charge my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jommy999:
a little too thick from the picture but would be nice if the same thickness then i'd go for the 6000ma one or just get another spare battery for the heavy use .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SNiiPE_DoGG:
It's completely true, once you set the phone up right it has incredible battery life. I'm not talking setting the phone up to be crippled like I have had to do with previous android phones either, this thing just goes. After a day (9hrs) of normal use in my office (texting, surfing and using reddit is fun) My battery was at 80%

People dont set up their phones right, and/or complain about the battery life after spending all the first day with the phone downloading apps and gazing at the beautiful screen are the ones misleading saying this phone has bad battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lsquare:
I agree that using 3G will drain the battery faster, but I didn't subscribe to adapts connection and then exclusively use wifi.

Is 25% screen brightness adequate for outside viewing?

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

I totally appreciate your feedback here, but can you be specific about the settings that you're using to achieve such great battery life?

Is 15% brightness enough for outside viewing?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nnick:
Also interested in what "set the phone up right" means :-)

All of above that, you need to find a good kernel to be developed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2bangali:
Okay so my epic recently started overheaing again. This first started happening 3 months ago til I took it to my local sprint shop and they fixed it for free. They said not to overcharge my phone and that they had to boost my battery. To further explan my problem, my epic gets really hot when browsing the internet but regardless of that, I just leave my phone in my pocket and next think I know when I try to unlock it is that it shutdown. When it happens, I have no idea. I can't even turn the phone on unless I remove the battery and put it back in. I'm running cm7 (the latest update from 10/22) andi listen to music in my car and most of the time its plugged into my car charger since the battery life is currently horrible on cm7.

So does anyone have any idea of how I can personally fix this or boost it? Its been more than a year so I'm not sure if sprint wll fix it for free.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justlovejoy:
Dont know what to say except for maybe you need a new battery! I have an extended battery and even though its a bigger battery with way more juice than the oem version, I still get about the same i did on eh17 [stock] but the random reboot thing has happened to me but I never had to battery pull to get it working. I am currently on cm7 too and I noticed that it only happens when its really low battery that it reboots or shuts down saying 0 when I am at like 5%...? but for the most part I think you might need to to a odin to stock and update ota to get ei22 if you want that modem or do ec05 and just use the modem-update zip found in the dev section, after you reflash cm7. my phone never over heats! oops once! I was watching movies on it all day with the wifi and via speaker from netflix but thats the only time. maybe you also might have a very aggressive app running in the background, and thats whats heating up your pocket! are you using tegrak for oc?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2bangali:
Thanks for your time man but not I'm not running anything to oc. I never oc because I really have no need for it. Neither am I running any aggressive apps. I tried leting my battery cool down overnight by taking it out and leaving it next to the window but no luck. The worst part is, this shutdown happens unless I constantly check my phone and use it. If I don't use it for like more than 30mins, it turns off and I hav to do a battery pull. And most of the time after the battery pull, my charge drops from like 90% to 15%
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
You said your running CM7? I remember on CM7 I couldn't even use the phone or it would reboot due to heat also. You should switch to maybe a different ROM if you'd like more use of the phone or wait patiently for a fix to this issue. I tried asking about this problem in the CM7 thread a month back and no one else seemed to have this issue but me.

Sent from my Samsung Legen-wait for it-dary! 4g
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2bangali:
I just flashed the EI22 Legendary Rom thru clockwork and same issue.. left the battery out for the second night in a row.. but it still overheats.. hopefully sprint takes care of this for me
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruhai Hu:
Sounds to me like you might have a bad phone, and or battery. I know mine gets hot when using a lot of data like streaming music, or sitting in car dock in hot summer... with out putting ac on it... ><

But it does get pretty warm but not to hot to hold when in a pouch and streaming music from network via bluetooth to a speaker at work. Never had a reboot or shutdown from heat doing that. Only time I had it shut down due to heat was one time in summer in the car dock.. Streaming heat + 110F don't help.

Sounds like hardware to me. If it does it on stock and different roms.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjoshplacid:
Hmmm, i'm on legendary rom 4.0 with th IAP kernel and i've noticed that when surfing the net for a few hours or playing a game for a few hours the battery will get hot enough to fry an egg it seems. before installing EI22 i noticed it would shut down due to overheat but now I stop all activity on my own cause it gets way hotter than ever before and i'm nervous it's gonna fry. The phone I don't think is recognizing the battery is overheating anymore! Not sure. Thing is, I noticed before ever rooting that this overheating would happen if playing a game for too long on my phone. But doing same exact thing on a friends EVO didn't get hot at all!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruhai Hu:
Well if you are getting that hot then there is an issue. I work at a Radio Shack*i need different job badly.* and have seen a few phones where it is hardware or even battery related that they are to hot to hold really.

What games were you playing? maybe i will give it a try and see what my phone does. I do have the angry birds, fieldrunners, peggle, plant vs zombie, zenonia 3.. no issues when playing them for a bit.

The thing that gets my phone the hottest is to stream from like google music or xiia live*shoutcast streams* to a bluetooth speaker like I said above. Though streaming to internal speaker or headphones/speakers doesn't get to warm just slightly.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjoshplacid:
the game I was playing was drag racing (has happened with cut the rope too). Just played it yesterday and no problems. played for like 3 hours straight to test it. This was also after I had organized all the apps and things on my phone. I had found a ton of programs constantly running in the background and other things going on at the same time. Just a big mess. Cleaned it up and no overheating problems now. I think for me it's just something that's gonna happen once in a while when I got too much going on on my phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ned_Stevens:
Hi guy`s looking for some help with and HTC Desire that is stuck on the TMobile UK load screen.

I have tried a few methods to try and get it back to life but without success.

I originally used the Gingerbeard release from HTC to upgrade the phone but after finding it left me with almost no memory to download apps etc I decided to revert back to stock rom RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122755

After completing this , my phone now turns on and sticks on a screen with a small pink circle.

Before loading the stock rom I gained s-off and created a Naand back up using Unrevocked as I was having issues with the RUU above.

From what I have been reading I have a PVT4 device and the clockworkmod is unsutaible.

I have now downgraded the bootlaoder to AlphaRev Unlock and loaded Recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0 but when I click onto recovery my phone still just go`s to the pink circle screen again.

When booted into HBOOT the screen shows..

AlphaRev Unlock

Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT 6.93.9999

MICROP 051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO 4.05.00.11

aUG 10 2010 17.52.18

HBOOT

Parsing....[SD.ZIP]

[1] BOOTLOADER

Do you want to start update?

YES

NO.

Could some kind sole please advise me where I am going wrong. If needed I can list what is on my SD card etc etc.

Thanks very much if you can help me. I am a bit stuck with this one and having to revert back to my HTC Hero is a bit of a pain in the hole. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
my guide, advanced boot problems S-OFF. I didn't think it'd be that hard to find..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ned_Stevens:
it was very easy to find m8 and helped me downgrade the bootloader. My device is PVT4 which in the guide it says to stick to "Flashing Custom Recovery". Unfortunately I am having problems getting Android Flasher to run on my pc. I will try on my netbook later.

At present I can boot into fastboot but when I chose recovery to try and flash Amon Ra`s recovery image I just return to to pink circle logo.

I must admit I am getting a bit mixed up as to what stage I am currently at as I have tried a few different methods from your troubleshoot guide.

Thanks for your help, I will continue to read up on the subject over the next few days and hopefully be able to get my handset back to life.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
if android flasher doesn't work try fastboot commander.. you need android SDK set up though, its not that hard, just look at resources its there
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ned_Stevens:
Hi Bortak, took things back step or two and I have now managed to gain access to recovery using Fastboot Commander.

I have flashed update-cm-7.10-Desire-signed.zip everything seemed ok then when I rebooted the phone I went straight back to the pink circle screen. I accessed the recovery twice through fast commander without any problems now it`s not letting me get into recovery again lol Oh Well back to the drawing board.

Thanks again for your help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ned_Stevens:
Hi mate sorry for bothering you but I have managed to get back into recovery, could you give me a couple of pointers as to what to do next. I am able to get access through fastboot commander and recovery image RA-Desire-v2.0.0 but as I say any time I try to load the rom I mentioned above it go`s through the update process then dumps me back to the pink circle screen.

I am obviously missing something that I cannot quite put my finger on. I am normally quite good with things like this as I used to be able to flash images etc on to Linux D-Box`s but this really has me stumped.

I am going to try a few different roms but something is telling me that I need to go back to a stock rom, would this be correct?

Thanks again and sorry for being a total pain.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Did you do a full wipe before you flashed?

Full wipe:

/mounts & storage

> format boot

> format cache

> format system

> format data

> format sd-ext

Also, since you're S-OFF, make sure you have the correct SPL/hboot... Cyanogen Will run on everything BUT Oxygen hboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ned_Stevens:
Hi mate, at present my handset is sitting in the Android System Recovery , My options are..

Reboot System Now

USB-MS toggle

Back Up/Restore

Flash zip from sdcard

Wipe

Partition sdcard

Mounts

Other

Power Off

I dont have the option for mounts & storage. If I go into mounts I have this list...

Mount /storage

Unmount Cache

Mount /data

Mount /sd-ext

Mount /sdcard

If I use the Wipe option I get an option to....

Wipe All Userdata

Wipe only /data

Wipe only /sd-ext

Wipe only /sdcard/ .android secure

Wipe only /cache

Wipe only Dalvik-cache

Wipe only battery stats

Wipe only rotate settings.

I have no option to format anything just the Wipe all userdata which is the closest thing to what I am looking to do. Would this be correct ?

Thanks again m8 I really appreciate your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
oh right you dont have clockworkmod..

okay here's an idea. Download this then flash it in recovery like you would any ROM..

or this with fastboot

then follow the instructions I wrote before.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ned_Stevens:
Success :) I done the wipe all user data , used LeeDroid 2.5 final and everything has worked well.

Thanks again m8, I couldnt have done any off this without you Tutorial or help. Your a top man.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
no prob. That's why I prefer using Clock in contrary to Amon RA - the formatting options, sometimes you just can't do without them (without using fastboot)

[HD2 General] richdaley:
I am such a noob to this phone that I don't even have it yet! I have been looking to find one to play with but I have a couple of questions because even after digging about the forums and searching, some of the info seems like it could be outdated and since there are multiple OS options, it is hard for me to find anything coherent.

I do, however, have lot of experience with Android phones (rooting, installing CWM, ROMS etc).

My main question is how difficult is it for switch between ROMs and OS versions? If I put Android 2.3 on it for instance, which looks like just running an executable and maybe installing a radio and spl, is it difficult to run WP7 on the phone? I guess what I am asking is it difficult to return the phone to stock after installing Android or WP7? I am used to rooted android phones where once you have the recovery installed, flashing roms is a piece of cake. I am going to want to switch it up a lot.

I saw a posting on Craigslist for a rooted HD2 that can use t-mobile's 4G network but I don't see any posts in the forums. Is that possible or is it just craigslist noise?

Is it possible to use the WP7 marketplace on this phone? I saw an old post that said it was not possible but it may have just been old information.

Thanks!

Rich
[HD2 General] anseio:
I've learned a lot in the past 6 weeks, since I bought this device.

It's very easy to root and to run Android: Flash SPL, Radio, Magldr, and then Android ROM. You can also dual boot from stock Windows Mobile 6.5

If you want to run WP7 Mango, you're options for Android become very limited. WP7 requires that it be installed on NAND. So Android would only be able to be used on SD card. The SD builds aren't necessarily as stable as the NAND builds, but are really good anyway. WP7 is also extremely picky about what SD cards it will work with. Cards may appear to be working well, but can pose massive battery drain. Trial and error is the only way to find the right card. I've got a PNY 16GB c4 and it works really well. Over 2x the battery life of my Kingston 8GB c2.

If you want to go back to stock ROM, it's easy to reflash from the bootloader and it wipes everything else out of the picture.

I'm currently dual booting WP7 and AmeriCan Android's 11/07 build w/o issue. It's easy to go back and forth. Installing WP7 and setting up for dual boot requires jumping through a few hoops, but I think it's totally worth it. I love the UI of WP7.

Yes, you can use marketplace. You'll need to connect your Windows Live ID to the phone and you'll get an error about activation. This is where you find the thread here about using the Windows Support chat function and they happily give you the activation code. You should keep this safe, as you'll need it each time you hard reset or reflash the ROM. Once Live services are active, the Marketplace works just fine.

The T-Mobile HD2 works on TMO's HSPA bands, but will only work on the 2G bands for AT&T. I had the TMO version for a few weeks, but decided I wanted to tether through Android, so I sold it and bought a Telstra HD2 from Australia and it works on AT&T HSPA.
[HD2 General] richdaley:
Thank you so much for the response! Do you think it is worth trading my Samsung Galaxy S 4G for this phone? I am an HTC guy so the samsung isn't really working for me because there are not many ROMs for it.
[HD2 General] anseio:
That I can't answer, as I don't have an educated opinion. I just got the HD2 so I could play with WP7 and skirt around AT&T's data plan requirements.
[HD2 General] Akshay Darade:
Honestly,don't trade your Samsung Galaxy s 4g for this phone, but if you want to experience different types of Roms like meego,ubuntu,win7,etc and to experience htc sense then only trade your old mobi. And for your information only Android froyo runs perfectly on this phone while all other versions of android are in beta! Battery life is Bad!
[HD2 General] meingutter:
My point of view is that its really easy to install roms.

I have installed Tytung 3.2a the best one^^
[HD2 General] richdaley:
Thank you everybody for the information. I think I may just try to pay cash for one rather than trade my Galaxy S and then maybe sell both to upgrade my phone next year.

I like WP7 but I am pretty well indoctrinated into the Android ecosystem and I worry that I might end up with a handset that has battery issues. As an early adopter of Android, I know how frustrating it can be to have a phone battery that won't last more than a few hours.
[HD2 General] meingutter:
Concerning battery, my hd2 last all the day from 7am to 10pm running Android.

So, to me, no real battery problem.
