Completely off topic, but what service provider are you using to get that kind of speed?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The University Of Michigan is its own ISP. I have personally witnessed someone pull 800mbps down and 700mbps up but I didn't ever get a capture of it.
[HTC Rezound] jordant2:
That's insane, but I'm an MSU alumni! Don't want to hijack this thread though, LOL!
[HTC Rezound] immerstark:
The only slim extended batteries I have had any luck with are the Anker branded ones. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available for the Rezound yet.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I emailed Anker when the Rezound came out and they said they would not be developing a slim extended battery for it. Very unfortunate.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Got the extended battery for the rezound the thickness is not that bad but its with it
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
Wifi versus 3g is much better battery life and wifi versus 4G is absolutely no contest. I get my best battery life when I'm on wifi most of the time on the weekends and the worst during the week when I'm on 4G while at work.

3.7 works in my phone ok

FYI - I bought one of the 3.7v Acesoft batteries with a charger from eBay (same as listed above) and it charges and works fine in my phone. It seems to last longer than my htc battery although I haven't used them both long enough to say one is better than another but its fine for a spare battery. I'll update when I can actually compare the 2.
[HTC Rezound] jordant2:
I would definitely like to know if these are worth purchasing.
[HTC Rezound] jimbiss:
I just saw the Acesoft on ebay today and wondered if they were any good also
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yea I def wouldn't mind a bigger battery to fit in stock housing
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
This was exactly what I was wondering. I had an AT&T Captivate and it came with a 1500maH battery. It turns out that the Sprint version of the Galaxy S came with an 1800maH battery and they were almost identical sizes, the 1800 was like half a mm thicker. So I bought one of those, and it was an original Samsung OEM battery, not some chinese knock off. It helped out a lot, 20% more battery life. I was wondering if there is another HTC phone that has maybe an 1800 or so battery that is same dimensions or close as ours?

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

This is exactly what I do. Makes a huge difference in battery life. I can get two full days on one charge by doing that. I use 3G everywhere, wifi at home, and enable 4G when I need the data speed. Leave 3G for background syncs, checking facebook and twitter. Websurf and play games on 4G.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I researched this prior to getting my Rezound and found none of the current HTC phones have batteries identical enough to fit. Those closest I found was the Evo3D which was confirmed by another Rezound user who had both phones to not fit.

It really sucks but hopefully we'll get something comparable soon.

1900mAh 3.7v Mugen Battery

It appears the 1900 mAh Mugens battery is in. If you go to the link, it shows the battery and lets you put it in the cart. It is pricey at $45.

http://www.mugenpowerpdabattery.com/zaspx/product_details.aspx?file=default&productno=1351

Whose gonna be first to let us know how it works?
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
If it was say 2000mah I probably would have, but at 1900mah I will wait for the reviews before deciding.
[HTC Rezound] swunder:
I'm trying to order the Mugen but the site is crappy as hell.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I'd be interested in a 1900mAH or 2000 mAH battery. I bought the extended battery from Verizon when they were on sale just for the hell of it since it was cheap and I like to have my phone at max power and brightness while it's in use. The thing is I've never liked the hump that extended batteries give to any phone. I used mine for about a month and decided yesterday to switch back to the stock battery since it looks and feels nicer than the extended, also I'm near a power outlet all day so it doesn't really matter how long the battery lasts.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
I did exactly the same thing. I even bought a different case/holster for the standard battery--had previously bought the dual battery case Verizon sold--just too big and ugly. I love the new case with the standard battery--looks good and feels right. That's why I'm interested in the 1900mAh slim battery--more juice (17%), same look. But the $45 hurts when you only paid $30 for the 2700 mAh.

When I had my Dinc, I went from the 1300 mAh to a slim 1500 mAh and it gave me just enough extra time to get through the day.
[HTC Rezound] jordant2:
I might try this out. I love the freedom of the extended battery, but I hate the size. I could get the $45 from selling the extended battery and case. If I could get an extra hour out of it, and tweak some settings, I'll take it.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Strange, this was a another Mugen link that has different info than the other link.

http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-1900mah-battery-for-verizon-htc-rezound/

Does anyone actually know anything about Mugen batteries? I know Seidio doesn't have a very good reputation with their batteries.
[HTC Rezound] swunder:
Hmm well I sent my $45 via paypal to the other site this morning. Will let you guys know the deal if I ever actually receive the battery.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
That is very pricey. The 1800mah battery I bought for my Galaxy S was only 19.99 from mobilecityonline and it was a real Samsung battery in retail packaging. Not a cheap chinese knockoff like they sell on ebay. For $45 I'll pass.

I did see that ebay has the Acesoft 1800mah battery and AC charger for $26 with free shipping. I may try one of these, but its hard to justify only a 150mah increase over stock (if its truly an 1800mah battery, most on ebay are labeled much higher than what they really are).
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Is 1800mAh really worth it with such a small increase?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I'd say if the price it's right it is. Only way I'd spend 50 bucks on a battery is if it was a 2000mah that was HTC manufactured and fit in the standard housing lol... 150mah increase isn't worth money for the 20 minute(if that ) battery life gain IMO.
[HTC Rezound] jordant2:
Please post back and let us know if you got it and if there is a difference.
[HTC Rezound] bblanski:
I ordered one from the mugen site. Will let you know how it turns out!!!!
[HTC Rezound] eXecuter.bin:
I picked up two yesterday, and they are great!
[HTC Rezound] Ravaloft:
I am very interested in knowing how any of these 1900 mAh batteries work out. I like the extended battery but don't like how it wobbles on the table or the hump on the back :o
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
One of my coworkers bought two of these "1900" batteries that fit in the stock opening.

He told me yesterday that they work just fine, but anybody claiming they last longer than the stock battery is FOS.

He said anybody thinking they last dramatically longer is experiencing the ultimate "placebo effect"
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Aww that's weak. Is there a way to check if the battery is really capable of 1900mah?
[HTC Rezound] DLink888:
Getting back to this. As mentioned above I bought the 1800mAH battery & charger from ebay and did an informal comparison.

Based on my normal daily usage for two days. (Almost identical usage for both days with wifi, gps and 4G on.) I got 9 hours 15 minutes the first day using the stock HTC battery and 7 hours 15 minutes the second using the Acesoft.

So even though they don't seem to measure up to the advertised 1800mAH it is nice to have a spare battery backup for those long days and the wall charger is really nice to have. All in all for under $20 its not a bad deal. Although the Mugen might be a better option if your looking for longer battery life.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Thank you for the update. Do you recall what your screen on time was?
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
Just purchased this combo.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220937077477

I'll give my findings after I get it.

Not sure why none of the reviews came in on the "mugen battery" since a few have purchased them a few days ago.
[HTC Rezound] bblanski:
Still waiting on mine. Hopefully today
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
Got them today. I did a full charge on one and put into my phone. then on 4G LTE I streamed Pandora on a 30 minute drive to the Verizon store and while I was waiting to be helped I streamed Ventriloid and checked Facebook for about 15 minutes got back in the car streamed Pandora another 20 minutes made a call and when I sat down to look I had 64% left. I pulled the battery and installed the new OEM battery I just got at the Verizon store for $19.99 and threw the Acesoft in a drawer for maybe later testing. Sorry but We all know the OEM batteries right now are the best right now until proven otherwise. Now I have 4 backup batteries LOL!! But I do have a cool charger that charges the phone and the battery at the same time :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
Wish I had have pick some up early. Looks like they just went up about $10.
[HTC Rezound] DIncLover:
I was very satisfied with the Seidio aftermarket extended slim battery for the original Incredible, but couldn't find an offering by Seidio for the Rezound, so I tried the AceSoft 1800 mah. I would have even accepted a warm, fuzzy placebo effect, but, alas, my non-scientific impression after about a week is that this battery is inferior to the stock HTC.
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
yeah same here. bought the acesofr to give it a try. they blow. definitley way worse than the stock
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
On verizon site they show as $39 for standard battery..when you add to cart and continue to checkout they show as $19. go into the store and most stores will honor that price. both my stores did. I actually bought the extended battery for $29 but took it back after only a few hours since I figured I would get more use with an extra standard in my wallet.
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
I have the HTC extended battery (the one with the hump) and it isn't all that terrible look wise. IT does have a bulky look, but I can still put it in my jeans pocket without it feeling uncomfortable. It also adds a nice grip and gives you the feeling that you can conquer the world. Also, be careful about buying off-brand batteries, because they tend to reject charge after a couple months of use.

Good luck :cool:
[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
I would be all over the extended battery if otter box made a case for it. But sadly they don't, and no one else comes close.
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
I've seen a pictures in posts where the person cut out the opening in the stock battery door so the extended battery pops out then they cut a hole in the Otter defender case to fit around the extended battery , then they put packing tape over the outside of the defender to hold the battery in place and to keep the dirt from getting in and then put the rubber on and it has no bump. Wish I knew which forum that was..Found it!!

[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
I read that a guy remedied the issue by not using the Otterbox back cover. You probably know what he was talking about. But he said it fit fine.

Thanks guys. Just a bit more DIY than I would like.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Did anyone ever try the Mugen 1900 battery?
[HTC Rezound] bblanski:
Just received it today. Got it charged up and gonna run a few cycles through it.
[HTC Rezound] jordant2:
Please update when you have run a few cycles. Also give the link you used to purchase. I'm really thinking about getting rid of my extended battery, even though I love the freedom of it.
[HTC Rezound] oct2274:
hoping for the best, even if i can only get another hour or two, that would be huge
[HTC Rezound] calilove08:
This is cool. I don't care to much for making my phone bigger then it already is.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
Does the mugen 1900 come with a New back?
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
I haven't purchased the battery but I doubt it would come with a new back. It is suppose to be the same size as the original battery so you would just use your same back.
[HTC Rezound] swunder:
Sorry guys but I lost my Rezound last week at Atlantic City and didn't get my new one from Ebay until yesterday. I got my mugen 1900 also and am using it now.

Anyone know the best way to test battery life? I tried a 10 hr youtube video but i keep getting a text or call or some kind of notification that makes it stop...
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Download the 10 hour youtube video, put it on the card, and run the test in airplane mode with both batteries.
[HTC Rezound] trippnk:
So how did the mugen battery work out? Any reception effects from the battery? I'm okay spending the $45 if it will give me a few more hours of use.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Sounds promising. Since you are heavy testing, can you check the heat that puppy might be putting out? It would be interesting to compare that to the stock battery.
[HTC Rezound] trippnk:
Thats great news about the battery. I wont have my phone until tomorrow but I think I might go ahead and order the battery now! :D

Edit: Turns out they are out of stock till the 23rd. Guess I'll be waiting.....
[HTC Rezound] jbis:

[HTC Rezound] dabomb697:
Just got mine yesterday and so far so good. I made it from 7a.m. to 4 p.m. with medium to heavy use. It would have been dead by noon with the stock battery.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
How about battery temp. with the Mugen battery?
[HTC Rezound] Edvard_Greig:
I've got the extended too, and while it works pretty well, my biggest issue is that the back cover does not seem to attach as securely as the back cover for the stock battery. Other than that, you're right, the size really isn't that bad at all and makes it a bit more ergonomic.

After seeing some of the positive posts on the Mugen though, I may have to go that route...
[HTC Rezound] killerxmic:
Just got the mugen 1900 battery. I'm a heavy heavy user so I will post results next week.
[HTC Rezound] dbutters:
I received my battery last night, and charged it overnight. So far today, I'm at 5:29 with 38% with my normal use, which is a significant difference from my stock battery. My normal usage pattern involves maybe 30 minutes of browsing in the morning and intermittent gaming/browsing throughout the day (gotta take a break sometimes), and I usually get about 6 hours before my phone is begging for a charge. If my experience drastically changes over the next few days, I'll update here, but as of today, I'm noticing a difference.

Hello xda

I am wondering if any of you know where to get "cheaper" phones. As of right now I want an SGSII for t-mobile, but I can't pay $600 -___-

And of course I don't have an upgrade :/

Any ideas?

anything chinese store gives me the goosebumps. Scamsssss
[General Questions and Answers] Dark lord me:
I can guarantee you that you can get one for less then $600 but it's not legal...

But on the legal side of things take a look in the "for sale" section and see if anyone is getting rid of one and if you do buy unlocked i would suggest the Nexus over the SIIX isn't their SI still on froyo ?

[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
**************************
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
Is this in the development section child?

If you have nothing productive to say/write, then don't say it.

In a way, it does have something to do with development because Verizon chooses to use touchwiz vanilla 3.0 on their gingerbread leaks as opposed to a touchwiz 4.0 esque battery meter style.

Stop trolling
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
it was in the development section... I obviously wouldnt of posted anything if it was not in the wrong section for a day. Fwiw Folks are reporting quadrant scores of 2200 on stock eh03 gingerbread;)
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
LOL I had read what you said originally, but it's ok.

That said, my bad if I had posted it in the development section, meant to post it here. Really 2200 stock EH03 gingerbread? that is with no mods right? like no voodoo lag fix or anything, impressive.....
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Yes no mods...with voodoo kernel oc to 1200 folks are seeing 2600+ quadrant. The new vzw eh03 gingerbread release seems to be a winner. Heck the best quadrant I have seen on cm7.1 with glitch kernel oc to 1400mhz was 3016.
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
dude dang what did they do, I knew this Galaxy S phones were killer phones at the time (hence the reason I got one despite Samsung's Bad Reputation for supporting phones)....That's ridiculous.

Did they finally convert from RFS to EXT4?????? They really did it right this time, because finally Bing is no longer the default search engine. Heck these single-core phones are more powerful than some dual-core phones offered from HTC, LG and Motorola. Hummingbird for the win.

I guess I'll stay Samsung all the way even when I replace this phone. They seem to always have the best hardware.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Im pretty sure its still rfs but not positive. I ran eho3 gb for a hour or so yesterday and was suprised how snappy it was...but Im hooked on cm7 and can't wait for cm9. Im staying with samsung all the way aswell. Easy to mod and great hardware. Im not messing with any company that has locked bootloader bs...

I think you're right, thanks for responding to this thread.
[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
Really?

That's the best I had.

(Was on Espresso 5 AOSP) Now on ics.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Thats awsome...best I have seen is 3016. Im suprised how well stock gingerbread scores. Hell the eh09/ei20 ported roms were only scoring like 1100 stock. Anyways I wasnt posting like 3000 was good for mtd, just comparing how close eh03 was to my glitch'd cm7 setup.
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
I just creamed myself

That is like higher than Galaxy S II ratings, no wonder why people hate Quadrant for benchmarking. That is just ridiculous.
[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
I know . I was just posting it for fun.

what was your setup and voltage settings when you hit 4000?

[Windows Phone 7 General] ikovac:
Ok I didn't find this info anywhere online yet. Perhaps this can help someone to finally find a way to recover locked SD card without Nokia phone or other known, but sometimes unavailable means.

I have a locked 8GB SD card by Mango.

It is not visible in Windows, BUT - if I leave SD card in my laptop and then go to device manager and uninstall my SD card reader, and then click on Scan for hardware changes, it will hang for a minute or two (something that is normally a second or two) and then it will find the reader, install the driver and the SD card will be visible! The point is to be patient. Seems that Windows can access the SD card, but it needs like 10 times more time to do it.

I was happy at first, but then I realized it is still a tough case.

I tried MiniTool Partition Wizard and it actually sees the card marking it (Bad Disk). The size is correct. It can even scan for partitions and then reports two that can be deleted, but I don't believe it removed them. Once I even could make a 100MB partition! But it didn't repair the whole SD card. Afterwards I tried some other methods, deleted SD MBR in MagLDR and lost that partition.

Disk manager in windows sees the device with Unalocated space and if I try to make a new partition it starts and then says there was a CRC check error. It also kind of hangs, but eventually responds and sees the device.

Windows needs like 5 minutes to show dialog for formating the SD card. It says unknown size, and finally says that it cannot format.

HD Low format tool sees the device and if you start the Format, it will start and report many errors but will finally end. I didn't see any improvements - SD is still locked.

So tomorrow I will probably find someone with a Nokia at work, but perhaps someone gets lucky and finds a way to fix it within Windows by being essentially patient while Windows is accessing it.

And yes: Olympus PEN, Canon Ixus 70 and G10 cannot format it.

Cheers,

Ivan

Mango locked SD card

So if this lock is because of Mango, If I downgrade to 7004 ROM with my locked SD card, will that unlock it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
It's not Mango specific. It happens with all versions of Windows Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ikovac:
Mango locked my SD card in a way it was not visible at all. Not even a 200MB partition. The only way (and I tried everything based on my original post) was Nokia XpressMusic. It formatted it in like 5 secs. I didn't even bother to reformat it, but just plugged it in my HD2 and installed HD2O mango ROM. It works like before. No issues whatsoever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Id like to mention its fairly trivial to make any usb mountable card usable (you know, how the REST OF THE WORLD USES SDCARDS) with linux or unix:

Find the device mount point and:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc1 bs=1M count=yourcardsizeinMb

Note, this overwrites any data on the card, but then formatting and actually using the card is possible again. Ms dropped the ball so hard on this. :(

You can use your Windows phone 7 device to unlock your locked SD cards.

See here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337781

you will need to adapt to your device so use the right rom from XBmod for your device or a rom that works on your device that supports cab sender.

No need to feck about with a nokia device.
