[Nexus S Accessories] punitanasazi:
too bad I cant get my hands on any of these extended batteries back in India. Will probably have to wait till my next US trip to pick one up.

Thanks for all the info guys
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
Sorry for the delay, here are some pics of the back covers would have had side by side but my woman left for an iphone........

anywho yeah she does become a brick with the battery but after heavy use during the day and not needing to shakled to a AC outlet life is good, just got the belt clip in a little snug atm but probably loosen up after some use doesnt look half bad either

For people who got this, what's your screen on time usually until you have to recharge?
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
Ill check that after.the weekend that's when I use my phone the most
[Nexus S Accessories] jerusry:
Any updates on that battery usage??
[Nexus S Accessories] jishnu7:
Any update?
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
sorry for the update, I havent went balls to the wall with this battery over the weekend(its been kinda of a slow weekends since I said I would) But ill try my hardest today.

This battery does delivery though at work I genreally have no signal half of a ten hour day and can walk out and still have +60%
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
Note it was not fully charged when starting at ninety percent.

left Pandora streaming the while time on 3g with screen on when in car or during on desk and plus steam was on pretty much the whole time, which does add some battery drain
[Nexus S Accessories] jishnu7:
If it is just 4 hours screen on time. I don't think it deliver more than what we loose (weight and thickness).
[Nexus S Accessories] jerusry:
but ya gotta think... using 3g... not wifi... and probably doesn't have super battery saver configuring... I would say this is twice what most would get under same conditions.... I know with that running on 3g I can't get that much... data off and using wifi is a whole different story... I can log 4hrs using wifi....
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
you are correct sir I have no battery savings configured it runs everything as default I do believe 4g was idling the whole time to. The funny part is it wasn't fully charged either. If someone needs this(like I do, in my work place I get about

20% time without signal) its worth the money even has the nfc antenna in the new back plate.

And the my hip holster I got from best buy with that crappy clip together case well the phone sits in the holster just fine, but I do recommend that cheap leather case I got off amazon in the above posts

I havent been keeping up to date with the android bugs like the android os percentage is just visual in 4.0.3 or is actually a battery drain, once I update to 4.0.4 ill do this agian

as for weight and thickness if you cannot handle a phone that weights maybe a pound with the new battery yeah you might want to invest in some free weights. The phone doesn't really feel awkward in the hand either and as a added bonus its easy to make a call with it pressed between my ear and shoulder
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
Here's a little update now that I'm on 4.0.4

I'll post up tom after I do some things and just let it drain down under normal usage
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
So after two days of Pandora off 3g with screen on that's what it looks like, under normal usage this thing lasts for days
[Nexus S Accessories] michalurban:
Is this 3900mAh battery compatible with i9023? Or which battery is please?
[Nexus S Accessories] jerusry:
Sweet I need to get one
[Nexus S Accessories] michalurban:
Easy for you with the 4G model ... *jealous* :D
[Nexus S Accessories] okishead:
Thanks for the detailed pictures and tests.

I remember testing 3300mAh back in the days and it did last me very long time between charges, an extra juice upgrade will definitely make it last several days easily!
[Nexus S Accessories] whyandroiddude:
Thanks a lot for such a detailed information, now i am sure i will be ordering one very soon..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] somnifac:
I had a show running on Netflix while working at my desk this morning, when my phone froze solid. No buttons, hardware or soft, would respond. The phone was connected to AC power and was showing 100% charged battery.

I pulled the battery, replaced it, and booted up. When it came up the battery was showing completely discharged (2%). I'm rooted w/ ClockworkMod installed, so I rebooted into recovery and cleared battery state/Dalvik/cache as a precaution, but this changed nothing.

So, now my phone is powered off and charging. The battery level is increasing (very) slowly, but has anyone seen this, or does anyone have any ideas what happened?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Charge it to 100%, then wipe battery stats from recovery, then drain battery completely (no "on the go" charging), then recharge to 100%.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4regt4:
OK, I thought I saw this mentioned -somewhere- on this forum, but I've tried searching in vain.... Most likely I just can't put together the correct search phrase.

I'm currently running ManualNootered B&N 1.3. I've read very conflicting info as to whether B&N can or will update a rooted OS, but is there a way that I can prevent it? I vaguely remember someone mentioning that they had a rooted 1.2 and woke up one morning to a screwed up 1.3. My biggest concern, of course, is the upcoming 1.4. Don't want to try that until someone figures out what might be needed to apply ManualNooter.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anemailname:
That happened to me. I had nootered a 1.2 and it was working beautifully!

Then I turned on wifi, checked my email and got force fed the update to 1.3.

I've just found an old text file on my PC that had directions to block the update though so I tried it out, it requires that you buy the SQlite editor from the market.

It is priced a $2.99 but I feel it was worth it if it works!!

You can still side load the updates if and when you choose to also!

So I bought the editor and followed these directions:

*Open SQLite. It will scan your entire Nook and find every SQL database file there. Even the hidden ones. It only takes ~10 seconds. (You may see a message about granting super-user permissions, which is normal.)

*Scroll down to DeviceManagerService, and tap on it. Then tap on devicemanager.db.

*Tap on the "registry" entry. It's easier now if you rotate to landscape, so you can see more of the fields in each entry.

*All the entries in this table start with "com.bn.device....". Look for the one that's labeled '...fota.mode" at the end.

*In the far right Value column, you'll see "Auto". Tap on that to select it. Then go down to the Status Bar at the bottom, and tap the Menu button (3 horizontal lines), and pick Edit Field.

*You'll then see a black screen with one entry, the field editing form. You should see the field name of "value" there, and its contents will be "auto". If it turned out that your selection picked some other field (they are pretty small!), don't panic! :smileywink: Just go back and retry until you get the right one.

*Tap on "auto" and the keyboard will come up. Backspace to delete the current contents, and enter "manual" in its place. Then tap Done. Then tap Save. Until you tap Save, you've changed nothing, so poking about is fairly safe.

*You can now exit out of SQLite if you like (it's not necessary), but you're not quite done yet, so don't enable WiFi immediately. To make sure that the system is using the settings you just modified, you need to force it to reload and "see" them. So just power your Nook off and back on. After it reboots, it will use your new settings from then on. That's it.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4regt4:
Another method?

I found this over on the B&N forum. I don't know if it is more or less effective than the method above. Perhaps a belt-and-suspenders approach would be best - do both.

And the complete OP:

Title:

Declining the 1.4 update should be possible

Text:

I am looking at build.prop from the 1.4 OS released with the Nook Tablet, with an eye to testing an edit of a system file, build.prop, to update the file and make a Nook Color look as if it is already on 1.4. So far, I'm not seeing anything which looks like a showstopper in the new build.prop for drawing elements out of it for a modded build.prop.

Once the actual update is out, I think I should be able to create a modified file very quickly that will tell the BN servers a device does not need the update as it is already running 1.4.

This is the technique I've used successfully to keep my device at 1.2, which I prefer to 1.3.

If my experiments work, I'll post both the raw build.prop, for folks with root who know how to mount /system as rw to simply copy in (after backing up their original build.prop) and as a set of Clockwork installable files. These will need to be run from a Clockwork disk but will not require rooting the device. One script will move your current build.prop and put in an edited one; a second script would remove the modified build.prop and restore your original so you can receive the update if you choose.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1fzfe:
If you have a custom recovery in place, ie clockworkmod, it will prevent installation of the update. Your device will still download the update, but when it boots into recovery for install, it will fail. Reboot and you are back to normal. This has worked for me twice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rambler75:
Ok, I was at the stock Froyo 2.2 update yesterday and saw 2.3.5 GB and installed using ODIN. There's a couple of aggravating features, mainly every time I plug in via usb or AC, the tethering process crashes. I don't even use tethering and don't know how to disable this process.

Anyways, all I want to do is return to the stock AT&T froyo. I've tried several one click packages for ODIN to return to stock, I CAN get into download mode, but once its plugged into the PC it says its installing device drivers, then it always fails. I tell Windows to search, and of course it can't find any.

How can I get this to work again, all I want is my 2.2 back

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grey Ghost:
Hey guys, I've been poking using the Gingerbread leaks lately and was curious if anyone knew of a hacked camera with a power button shutter option. What I've seen so far in search seems to be for froyo and I'm not sure if they've actually updated the camera app in gingerbread or if those would be safe. Any info would be appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
If you are asking for any GB rom with hacked camera, which can be used using power button, than you can try Illuminance rom. I am sure other GB roms in dev section also have this feature but I am using Illimuninance 2.1.1 and I can confirm it has it...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
You could also take the camera.apk out of illuminance and use that

Still a work in progress- and it built on the international version. But looks like its still a top priority phone that is being worked on for ICS!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
i am seriously LUSTING for ics on the T989. things like this makes me think were on the brink of eternal happiness...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
something i did notice is that if we get a port similar to this....will we have to have the on screen buttons?

i mean thats like a good portion of our screen.....couldnt they make our touch buttons use those functions?!! idk just a thought
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
even if we dont get a port samsung has already said were getting it so im not worried either way ,i think id rather a build that was made for our phones then worked over and optimised by the devs on here than a port from another phone ...im completely happy with my phone now the way it is, i can wait for the update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joser24:
He but the question is when?...

Look at the vibrant update to 2.2 it took forever. And the s4g as well. It's barely getting 2.3!

If samsung wants to knock competition off they have to get. It asap!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kikiodead:
I think it will help though that they are releasing the ICS on the Galaxy Nexus though. They've had all this time to work with it before other phone suppliers. ya know?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
im sure they want the galaxy nexus to be the only phone with it for a couple months to help sales then i expect them to roll out the updates, IMO 5mp camera and no external storage make the nexus a huge fail in my eyes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] epinephrine_junky:
Agreed, the storage on the vibrant, released way back when, is still better than most other phones...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lexcyn:
I really hope this phone gets an update. From what I understand the Vibrant still has not been updated to Gingerbread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikejaret:
something you didnt notice, is that its an alpha build and they said very publically they are going to remove the buttons, if you see the build on the optimus 3d it doesnt have the on screen buttons, its just a feature they have to figure out how to turn on!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
Something I did notice was the (not needed) sarcasm in your post. Yet thanks for telling me....if the guy said it in the video...I didn't hear bcuz I was at school and didn't have any headphones and didn't want disturb anybody with the speaker...so I watched it with no sound....lol :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] w1naenator:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
You can remove the buttons in the launcher. I'll wait till ics is stable on are phone. Gingerbread still has it problems till i can move to it.

[Droid Incredible General] absamide:
Sorry for bothering, but I haven't been able to find this particular issue, or at least this issue being referred to somewhere on the site.

I have an HTC Incredible on Verizon and have the 2.3.4 4.06.605.3 update applied. It was causing me a number of issues, so used Scotty1223's thread to back it down and gain root and S-Off on the phone. I played around with a couple of ROMs, but when they came out with this new update I wanted to get back to stock.

I restored my initial nandroid backup on the system thinking that would be enough. The update did not take on the phone. I saw that you have to have the stock recovery so I went to pvillecomp.com and put the stock HTC recovery back on the phone. So it is now running with Stock Recovery & the original 2.3.4 4.06.605.3 software on it. FYI, the Radio that appears to be on it, is Baseband version: 2.15.00.07.28 which is where my S-Off is if memory servers so I haven't messed with it yet, and don't know if that is my issue. I don't have the ability to do a screen shot with this software, but will happily provide any additional information that might be requested.

Ok. when I attempt to apply the new patch it reboots the machine, I get the green progress bar, and it goes maybe 1/3 of the way across then I get the Recovery screen. By hitting the Volume Up + Power I get the recovery information which says:

There it just sits until I reboot it.

Thanks for your time.

[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You will need to do an ruu to 4.06.605.3 as a PB31IMG.zip thru hboot. Then boot the phone and it should prompt you to update to 4.08.605.2

Or you could just put clockwork recovery back on the phone and flash Wildstangs stock ota 4.08.605.2 rom found in the dev section. It is compleete stock except for being rooted and deodexed.
[Droid Incredible General] absamide:
Thanks, that is what I was afraid I was going to be told. I was hoping not to have to rebuild everything to get a nice solid backup.

I appreciate the information.

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Stock Video Call app.

In Endymion. Discovered it. Not used it yet

Would be nice if someone tried it :)
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Where it is in phone?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
On the phone app, tap and hold one of the tabs. You will get to the edit mode, then drag the video Call icon to the tab list :)
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
I havent it there
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Says no recipient for video call. Strange, as one of my contacts has Endymion installed on his Desire S. I'll try this evening and report.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Check with your operator first. 3G Video Call is a service provided by the operator, you cannot call this way as with skype for ex. If you both don't have the service activated (could cost you money), the call cannot be performed.

There's another topic related to this subject HERE. Maybe it's a good idea that a mod will merge them to have whole discussion in a single place
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
I think till now HTC doesnt support stock video call..... I sent a mail to HTC regarding this waiting for their reply.....
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
OK. I've started some "research" into this cause it seems alot of you are intereseted in this 3G Video Calling feature. I even reflash Endymion now to check few things.

1. Why some have that small camera (option) in the People tab and some don't? (When arranging tabs in People/Contacts, there's a video camera that can be added to the existing tabs.)

I think is depending on what ROM each has. If you have the stock Desire S ROM (or based on one), you will not have it... The ones that have it, are the ones that have a ported ROM from Sensation (as is Endymion ROM). Sensation has this so, since the ROM is ported from there, we have it also on the Desire S. On US site, you can check on official HTC site HERE that Sensation 4G has "Video calling enabled"

2. What do we need to use this function?

There are two things: the service from the operator AND a compatible phone. The first is easy, for the second though...there are some "problems"

Searching on the forums, I've found some official answers from HTC regarding this subject. I'll quote below one relevant:

Video Call Compatibility

AT present (April 2011) these handsets run the 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (Gingerbread) versions of the Android OS and these does not natively support video calls.

In the future, if the device is updated to 2.4, it is rumoured that this will natively support video calls, but this is not known yet.

In the meantime, until video calls are natively supported, customers will need to use a third party application to utilise video calling. The people they are calling will need to also have this software installed on their handsets.

There are currently two applications which will support video calling, Fring and Tango Video Calls.

Skype have said they will be updating their software in the future to support video calling on the android platform.

This information is subject to change at any time as updates and new software is released.

Said that, it seems that we don't have yet this function even if some Samsung phones have it (Samsung Galaxy S2 for ex, you can check user manual pag. 45 for video call options)

3. What do we have to do?

For now?...sadly, nothing. HTC was not natively included this in our phones and since there are alot of third party applications that offers video call features, there is no developer willing to integrate such functionality. Maybe a port from Galaxy S2 could bring something, I'm not a developer to know if there is such port or if it is even possible.

So we have to wait for an update from HTC that hopefully will activate this on Desire S. Till then we have Tango, Skype, Fring and so on...

I hope this will clear things a little bit. If someone else has a different opinion or know a way to do this, please share it
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for investigating into this! I'm Sure we will be able to get it working soon!
[HTC Desire S] relios:

Anyone know if chopSuey 9.2.7x has a 2-way call recording patch?

Rom: Synergy RLS1 (non-godmode)

(which has CallRecorder 1.0.37 alpha included)

Attempting to record from Android API causes FC and specifying it's a patched kernel works great but only catches outgoing..need to turn on speakerphone to catch the incoming voice.

Or can anyone suggest a good Sense rom and kernel?

I'm primarily looking for: Increased battery life, stabilty, call recording (not via speakerphone).

Me & My usage: general user, few games but not often (asphalt,nfs,etc), ok with underlocking but don't wish to overclock, not sure how I feel about BFS and undervolting (read: n00b - just bought my 1st 'smartphone' android about a month ago:eek: ), occasional tether 3g/4g, check in hourly on tweets-fb-mail, calendar updates etc, in and out of 4g a lot, often in 1x @ home or trying to find any signal. Stock battery currently lasting 4 or so hours. Using GoLauncherEX and a lot of their other apps/widgets.

Rooted my stock 2.3.3 evo just before the ota update via revolutionary.io, loaded FRESH, flashed Amon RA style recovery for supersonic, switched to Synergy RLS1.

I keep reading and reading but its hard to get current.. <grin>

comments, suggestions, ??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
I do not believe that ChopSuey has the In Call Recording integrated. There was a version of the Freedom kernel that had this but it caused other issues so lithid removed the in call recording support.

you have to go into "Android/Data/com.android.providers.media/ albumthumbs" folder and delete all of the cache files. Android will then rebuild the cache from the current music files. I've tried this and it seems to have worked as all of the music players now display the new album art.
