Not bad, extended battery. Only had the phone 2 days. Its currently at about 10%. Figured I'd let it get real low then charge it.. this screen was taken on its first full charge out of the box.
[HTC Rezound] reverendbill:
On fat battery, I've had my phone off charge since 9:30am, made a few calls, got 3 email accounts going, and and Google Talk, I'm at 71% remaining at 6:00pm. All day its in a horrible place for ANY reception, which would murder my old phone's battery.

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
When I first got my phone, the battery life was not so great. It would go about 9-10 hours with moderate use and 4G on the whole time. Then, I tried it with only using 3G and occasionally turning on 4G when needed. It got a good bit better. Sunday I unlocked and rooted the phone. I got two whole days on one charge using 3G and wifi and occasionally using 4G. It doesnt make much sense to me. Just unlocking the bootloader and rooting shouldnt have made a difference in the battery life, but its getting twice as good as it did before.
[HTC Rezound] nev310:
It might just be the battery. When my phone was brandnew the battery was horrible then by the second week it was much better I didn't root or anything because it wasn't available yet.

Thought the rezounds extended battery was 2700mah or something, which is the 2100mah battery?
[HTC Rezound] lafrad:
He's just a Galaxy Nexus owner trolling the Rezound forums.

To be honest, I moved from Rezound to Nexus for the battery reason too. I'd have a fully charged phone when leaving work, and it would be dead before midnight, (whoops, can someone call me a cab?)

GNex will go 24 hours with 4 hours of screen time and pandora, music, nav, etc.

It sucks, the GNex is a bit too big for my taste, but its the only smartphone around that runs well and won't leave me stranded.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I have a Rezound and I can get two days off my battery. Granted, I do leave 4G off unless I'm going to be using data, then I go into the menu and enable it. But while its just sitting there idle, 3G is more than adequate for background syncing and even just checking my facebook and twitter, no need for 4G.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
LOL, after using both the nexus and the rezound extensively I wouldn't swap my current rezound for a nexus even if the nexus went for a month on the battery........

If I desperately needed more battery life, I would buy a razor maxx anyday over the nexus.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
I had gnex and traded if for rezound. love htc and rezound

if gnex ran for a month on batt id take it back lol.

but other than that i can get good batt life on stock batt.

all day no prob.

plus the charger is pretty universal, most ppl have at least one laying around, plus i have a car charger, and an extra standard battery.
[HTC Rezound] pilot85:
I can get maybe 16 hours of light use with 4G turned off (which is always no 4G yet in the area) no wifi ust 3G.

However on a normal day of texting, web browsing, and music i can get 6 hours top before i plug it in.

I wonder if it would be an improvement if you could have a tasker profile that would switch 4g>3g on screen off. The current version doesn't support 4g yet but I did find a 4g widget that works with tasker but only ICS.

Asslam.o.alaikum

Guys i have some questions in my mind, i am of-course googling them but i thought to ask the experts here, it can save my time :D

1. Where does the IMEI number reside? is it on hardware or it is just in ROM and may be removed by flashing or mechanism? and if it IS changed then is it recoverable?

i know it can be changed but is it masked like we can mask the MAC address or is it over-writable?

2. and can i store any custom information in the ROM of a mobile?

actually i was thinking about some kind of anti-theft thing...
[Kindle Fire General] gus6464:
Just got back from Best Buy and I don't know if it was a glitch in the system or what but they gave me a $50 gift card when I bought my Fire. I wasn't a preorder or anything so just a heads up as it might not last for long.
[Kindle Fire General] mdstricklin:
BBY employee here, I went in to work on my day off to check out the new device... it was indeed a system glitch that has since been fixed. Sorry folks, no more $50 gift cards. Early adopters got lucky this time. ;)
[Kindle Fire General] gus6464:
Actually select stores were having a release event and I just found out mine was one of them but I had no clue.

http://stores.bestbuy.com/1531/events/

That's not my store though
[Kindle Fire General] mdstricklin:
Oh cool. I wasn't aware of that. I was lucky enough to have the day off, so I just went in after class to pick mine up. I don't think our store was SUPPOSED to be participating in that program... Someone who was working told me that the internal message system had a notice that it was an error and it should be fixed (at least for our store) at 10:30 CST.. Lo and behold it was. The guy who purchased one at 10:31 didn't get the gift card. :P

I got lucky enough to take advantage of what I THINK was an error in our employee pricing. :)
[HTC Sensation XL] hammers4life:
:-( my sensation xl finally arrived and first thing I tried to do ended up failing!! I tried copying over my stuff from my older phone through bluetooth, but my bluetooth refuses to switch on :-(

Ive tried everything...... hard reset/ sim out/ battery out and nothing. I called Tmobile who told me to send it back and they will send another when they have enough stock. So all in all its not been a great experience so far with this expensive new phone!! I recommend everyone here try their bluetooth out to see if it turns on:mad:
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
Thats a shame that, luckily mine is working... do you have any details on if there has been a bad batch or anything? (from tmobile)
[HTC Sensation XL] hammers4life:
No Tmobile were not all that helpful on the phone, I spoke to technical support hoping they would try something out to get it to work, but they just said to send it back and they'll send a replacement when stock is available. I always seem to get bad luck with things like this lol.... oh well I hope they send out a replacement pronto
[HTC Sensation XL] diegomtoscano:
Sorry to hear that mine has everything working on it lucky me cause I bought it on Canada and they sent it all the way to south America Ecuador ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] jimbo.levy:
Did you get your replacement buddy?
[HTC Sensation XL] gavguitarhero:
are you sure? i doubt something as small as bluetooth would be a problem. when sending stuff from the other phone did you make your sensation descoverible? was they paired correctly?
[HTC Sensation XL] jagoblin2:
It does not surprises me. Some Hardware failure can happen even for new phones. My SXL thankfully works fine so far but Incredible S i have sent back already twice. First time USB socket stop work after 32 days (unlucky, because in 30 day period i can easy change it in store)) and second power button stop work. Guys HTC is not so bad, other manufacturers got lot off problems as well.

P.s. You should ask for change instantly or cancel contract. You must have the right to do that.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] N3croman:
Hi,

I just want to share my app with community - the app is called SpyCam and it's pretty simple - you can use it for taking pictures using the main camera in predefined interval. The pictures are then saved into Saved pictures folder in Pictures Hub. But what is so unique on this app -

it works under lockscreen

- that's right, you start the photo shooting, press the on/off button to turn off the screen, plant is somewhere and let it take photos secretly :)

Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.

I tried to put it on Marketplace, but it failed two times because "it appears that this application promotes spying". According to the certification guy it's not allowed in certain countries to have such app. Strangely there is lot of similar apps in MP for recording sound under lockscreen, so I don't know where is the problem.

I had big plans with this app, because the idea of taking pictures under lockscreen is quite tempting, but with the fail during cert process I don't have strength to develop it further. (Skyrim is more important right now :) I got even somewhere my technology demo based on SpyCam for storing taken pictures on SkyDrive, so it basically works as a live webcam - you can watch what's going on in front of the phone on Internet, but it's not stable enough for general release.

Feel free to use it under condition you wont try to publish similar app on marketplace ;) Let me know, how it works. Note although it's not 100% stable, it should just work most of the time. I'm using there a bit of thread magic to handle all that PhotoCamera callbacks and async calls for taking photos and storing them, so nothing is guaranteed :rolleyes:

And one more thing, you just need Mango and regular dev unlock. Interop unlock is not necessary :) Tested on HTC HD7

Don't hesitate to share it using Twitter or other media :D

my address: twitter.com/martinsuchan

Edit: uploaded two screenshots :)

Also my second try in MP used different name for the app: 'myCam', but they rejected it with the same message :(

Edit: This app does NOT work on WP8 as I have just discovered, it even causes freeze or random reboot!

Good work Sir!

Shame the Marketplace Police have no sense of humour ;)

cool app , thanks man. upload in marketplace :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
Works exactly as you said . I am getting a video done will post it here. Reviewed it on WPXBOX. com However I dont get to understand how to make it work under lock screen. I tried pressing the camera button when locked but nothing happened.

Check out the video here.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] N3croman:
Under lockscreen

You need to check the "run under lockscreen" option in settings and then restart the app (press Back button in the main screen and start is again).

Then start the shooting (optionally wait for the first pic to be sure), and then press the on/off button. Now it should take photos in selected time interval.

Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.

If you have selected 5s interval wait about 20s and then press On/Off button again, unlock the screen and if everything worked as expected there should be new 3 or 4 pictures :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] znial:
this app is great and cool and has a big potantial

well done (graphics, functionalities...)

ty

but can i wish a request, could you add a feature to enable flash/led on photos? (i know that this make the app less spyfull... but i'd like to keep pics during nighttime, i.e. of my pets while sleeping or to see what i did while dreaming ^^)

fyi

tried on omnia7 interopped latest fw
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
Thanks. Yes it took me time to realize on this. But loving your app here.

You might think of integrating it with Dropbox or a cloud service to give option to someone to upload it right there. Just an idea :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] SimzzDev:
I realize some countries may not allow it, but couldn't you just submit to certain countries?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] MJCS:
Rename the app to "Time Lapse Capture" and change the description to be as such. Problem solved :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mattcl:
Very good thank you
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] escottjon:
Awesome app with great potential

As suggested in a previous post I would resubmit as a time-lapse photography app, that's what I have downloaded it for, I will test it while climbing mountains and then relive my route after. What's the chances of of getting a 5 min interval option. Great work don't give up on getting it on the MP pls

I tried all combinations to enter in recovery mode in a Archos 35 Home Connect to install SDE firmware, without success.

I asked to archos support and they wrote me this:

"Turn the device OFF, then press the power button of the device and while the 1 st boot screen is on the screen press twice the power button to start the device in recovery mode."

But when I power on and hold the power button, it never pass to banner logo, reboot again in white screen. If I press power button twice in the white screen (instead banner logo), the boot stop and stay in white screen and hold waiting, and no continue boot, but never show the recovery screen. :confused:

So, i'm doing something wrong or recovery doesn't work. If any has success with this, it would be hepful.

no luck yet at entering the recovery mode though. i have tried about three or four times with quick double presses and longer slower double presses.

does a second boot logo screen show when you go into recovery mode or does it just stop at one boot logo screen?

It says by the power button "RESET: 10 sec". Has any one tried this?

Hello divx118

Still no luck in entering the download mode, is it two quick presses on the power button or two long presses?

Exactly which screen do I do these two presses, the boot screen goes

1. white screen.

2. Black screen.

3. a screen showing the still "Archos entertainment your way" logo.

4. a screen showing the moving "Archos entertainment your way" logo.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divx118:
Sorry, it was a long time ago I did it. It should be like this:

Don't forget the first step hold the power button until the first archos banner appears so the first screen with the "Archos entertainment your way" logo.

BTW the 10 second hold down of the power button is like a hard reset if the device hangs it will be forced to power down.

Are you guys rooting your home connect? If so, what are you doing after root?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divx118:
Shouting I have rootzzz....

Sorry couldn't resist.

Access to recovery has multiple advantages:

1) If you really mess up your device or it does funny things you can reformat and reinstall original firmware in recovery.

2) You can install SDE and flash another kernel so you can also boot other OS for example openaos multiboot to boot debian, Gingerbread etc.

Is option 2 usefull for the home connect, no if you just have it sitting on a table and use it like it is supposed to be and yes if you like to play around with gadgets to learn new things.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidojones:
I had some luck but only two times after hundred tries :mad:. It's very difficult to enter in recovery method. If archos not solve this in a more easy way you can broke the power button trying to enter in recovery. If someone could make a software to reboot into recovery by software, should be more hepful.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alephzain:
By software you need to be root and with adb shell type the command :

# reboot_into recovery
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidojones:
Thanks alephzain, I knew the script, but as you said only work for root, and previousloy you must enter in recovery. Finally after some hundreds of intents, I got the trick. I hope it should be usefull for some. The doble click with power button it's difficult to do in the exact time so I did this:

1. Power off

2. Power on and hold the power button for about 6 seconds

3. Do clicks in power button like a crazy men until banner appears.

4. But the most important is to stop doing clicks previously recovery window appears, because power button in recovery it's also the select option and if you don't stop, you will quit from recovery. It's very tricky, but with some tries you got it.

Now my archos home connect is rooted, and like alephzain "reboot_into recovery" works.

Hi!

I've read all the instructions in this forum and succeded in entering the recovery menu once. Then I installed the SDE firmware. Now when I start the device the first screen is a white screen and the method described in the above post doesn't work anymore.

The problem is the same as the original post describes:

And thus my qestion is the same as was mentioned in the following post.

Does anybody that has succeded in rooting their Archos 35 home connect remember how they entered the recovery menu after they did the SDE firmware installation?

Same Problem

I've got exaclty the same problem! After flashing the SDE I cannot get into recovery anymore. Booting the stock rom still works.

I also have adb-access in stock-rom, but I'm not root so I cannot set the 'reboot_into recovery'.

Anyone solve that problem?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kerm1t:
feesna THE

I find out this method:

- Plug in usb-cable (and of course power supply)

- Press and hold down power button. for 5seconds. Release the button for just 1sec and press the power button again for 5sec. Release it again for 1sec and press an hold again (always the same procedure). At a couple of time, the screen get black. Immediatly release the power button.

- Now there should be a bootmenu, where you have 3 choices (Android, Developer, Recovery). Choose recovery, to enter recovery.

note: If you see the still archos logo, you already loose to enter bootmenu!

Feel free to improve timings/procedure to enter bootmenu!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrr19121970:
This method does not work if the SDE is installed. You get a white screen, and there seems to be no way to get into the recovery menu. I've contacted ARCHOS support about this, but not confident that I'll get a reply.

According to this archos.com/support/support_tech/updates_dev.html?country=us&lang=en then the HOME CONNECT 35 is not even listed. I've tried both methods listed (hoping that the HC35 would be the same as the A28):

I've read in different forums (English and German) that some people have been sucessful, however nobody has described how they acheived it.

The ADB command REBOOT RECOVERY also doesn't work.

That's strange. It work's for me every time! With and without USB cable works equal for me:

Release button immedialtly! The Archos logo appears for a fraction of a second (it just blinks) and for me a white screen with the bootmenu appears.

This method works every time for me! I have to do it to boot the developer kernel (I don't want to delete the original android fw). Did you install SDE without problems?

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burn2k:
Your solution, too?

I finally got it. To enter the recovery menu on the Archos 35, you have to:

Power off -> Hold Power on 4-5sec (white screen appears) -> short release and doubleclick (both 5 times) and after screen gets black, release the button. That's it. Now the recovery menu should appear.

The method is the same like the method for the Archos 28! Found it in this Video:

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] man0lis:
Hi,

here is a way to enter the recovery after flashing the SDE which does not involve any kind of button smashing on the HC35. Here we go. WARNING you need a working adb setup and a brain (working preferably)

1. Download the psneuter exploit http://www.multiupload.nl/IVDW60EM4W

2. upload the exploit to the sdcard (using usb mass storage or "adb push psneuter /sdcard/")

3. open a shell with "adb shell"

4. copy psneuter to /tmp ("cp /sdcard/psneuter /tmp/")

5. run psneuter ("/tmp/psneuter")

6. adb will now close once you restart adb shell you will have a temporary root shell

7. run "reboot_into recovery"

It is possible to be stuck in a white screen (not permantent, reboot fixes the problem) in this case it helped for me to reflash the newest firmware from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930197

Thats all folks, happy hacking
