[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Good enough, thanks. :)

Hopefully they have the newer design in stock when I pick up my phone tomorrow.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
So I got my car dock last week, it's one of the first design that won't go over 500ma. I went ahead and contacted ibolt via their contact page at ibolt.co and they are sending me a new one.

If you're stuck with a dock that won't charge your phone when you're running NAV, I suggest you request a new one too.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I received a new cradle from ibolt today, plugged it into my home charger and I'm seeing 800+ ma's vs the 490ma I was seeing with my original dock. I'd say they fixed it.
[HTC Rezound] Keanen:
I just bought one of these (again), what do you use to acknowledge the ma charging value?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Battery Monitor from the market. It's slow to update the charging rate so give it a minute or two once you have the phone docked.

I was testing with a 1.8 amp charger from my wife's Kindle Fire. Never got the original dock over 491mA.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Yes, I am interested to know what you use to determine the charging rate?
[HTC Rezound] Tim_FJR:
How long did it take them to get back to you? I contacted them through their web site last week, but haven't heard from them yet.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I contacted them over a weekend and got a response on that Monday, I'd send them another note if it's been a week.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
I read this whole thread and I still don't know what mount and charger are a good combo?

I don't want to spend $50 though..
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I'm happy with the OEM one now that it's working, cost me $30 for the dock. If you already have a micro USB car charger, just use it.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
Yea I need to buy car charger since the one I have doesn't charge the phone at all.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I picked up a Belkin 2.1amp charger from Walmart for $16, works well, need you use your own cable with it though. Any 2.1 amp (or quality 1amp) charger should work fine.
[HTC Rezound] ShaneMA:
If you remove the fitting pieces for the car mount, it will fit with the otterbox commuter series, and if you want to skip your audio jack all together, use bluetooth! it works quite well.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Agreed, I use bluetooth for audio all the time.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
Is it the mini one with the green led? I bought that one but it says usb charging and it only went up 20% in 80 minutes.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Yes, is that through the dock or straight into the phone?
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
To the phone. I haven't got the dock yet.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Odd, mine states AC charging when I use it. Have another cable you can try with it?

I have this one - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-Car-Micro-Charger-for-iPad-iPhone-iPod/17805076

Stated 2.1 amps right on the box.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
Yea I use a different cable. I didn't know that would make a difference. Where do you see ac or usb charging?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Battery Monitor app

Matt
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
What cable did you use with yours? Did you have to modify it at all? What makes the phone say a/c vs usb anyway?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Using the cable that came with my Droid now. Shorting the data pins together is what tells the phone it's able to draw more then 500mA.

[HTC Rezound] Smitelight:
My own car solution....

I've used a slew of various mounts, docks, chargers, etc. and I thought I'd share what I've settled on for my 2008 Prius.

Mount: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G1L52Q/Mountek's nGroove CD Slot Mount. I love this thing. I got so sick and tired of suction-cup and foam tape mounts eternally falling off weeks or even days after mounting them and I didn't feel up to a more permanent solution. This clips into the CD slot on my factory JBL head unit. The mount has a bottom "shelf" which must be removed (it just slides out of its slot) since the side gripper will cover the charging port. That's not a problem as the foam on the sides is entirely sufficient to hold the phone while being forgiving enough to just slide the phone in and out without readjusting anything.

Charger: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=K33428 Instead of a dedicated charger, I use the USB power port on this Kensington LiquidAUX A2DP plug. It hides in the console, plugged into the 12v power socket stashed in there on the Prius. I ADORE this thing and it boggles my mind that it was apparently discontinued. Virtually nobody stocks it any longer, though it seems to pop up occasionally on eBay. The iPhone version, of course, remains popular. :rolleyes: The USB power output is sufficient to keep modern smart phones happy, the remote works like a charm (2 years now without changing the battery!) and it pairs quickly. The Prius has built-in BT phone support so I just disable phone-function pairing in Android settings. While I've never used it myself, I've read that the mic on the LiquidAUX is garbage so I can't recommend it for that purpose. One ubiquitous 3' micro USB cable and I'm golden.

Like virtually all 12V-powered, wired AUX input devices, the Kensington lacks "ground loop isolation" built in. Just do a search for that phrase on eBay or Google Shopping and pick up a cheapo Chinese pass-through box if you get static and line noise

I realize the charger recommendation isn't very helpful to most, but I hope somebody finds this useful.
[HTC Rezound] pngwyn:
Does it hold it portrait or landscape in your configuration? If portrait, is there a good option for landscape with the rezound?

Also do you have the extended battery on? If not, do you think it could work with the extended battery?

Thanks!

I saw that on their website, so I went to Amazon this morning at 7:15am and they were still out of stock...so either they all got purchased in 15 minutes, or they didn't put any up this morning.

I'll try again tomorrow I suppose.

I just got the Verizon car dock and it works great. However, why it's it that whenever I connect the phone to it it turns on wifi. Any idea why it does that?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Open the regular Dock app, go into settings and disable the Automatically Turn On Wifi option. Took me awhile to figure that one out also.
[HTC Rezound] mched:
Thanks, but what's the "regular Dock app"?

[HTC Rezound] 1454:
I can vouch for the LiquidAUX. Until I got my BT headunit I used it all the time. I think I paid 24 bux for it. Then it was stolen out of my work truck one weekend. Why steal such a thing? Anyway. I still have the remote. But not like it does me any good now.
[HTC Rezound] 86shelby:
Hopefully it's better than the cheesy one from vzw....
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It looks like it operates the same way as the stock dock except it comes with that hands free kit built into it..
[HTC Rezound] sig357stanley:
I have the Version car mount. What I noticed is that it does not charge the battery and the phone gets HOT. I'm read reports of over 120 degrees and I believe it was at least that hot. I followed some links on this thread and tried to modify the circuit board but that board is really small. You'll need some tiny soldering equipment to do it. I just drilled removed the circuit board and drill out the hole to allow the car charger USB to fit through the hole. I used a 1/2 inch bit and my drill press. You have to go very slow or you will break something. The phone now charges and isn't nearly as hot.
[HTC Rezound] okishead:
Looks like an amazing dock, charges, handsfree, obviously audio jack!

Great item, waiting for the stock:p
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
As noted in this thread, if you have one of the models that only reports as a USB device, you can contact ibolt and get an updated replacement for free.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
well, the consumer shouldn't be messing with RSD anyways, as it's a designed for developers who know what they're doing.

there are plenty of guides around the forums that walk you through the unlock process from start to finish, and a few scripts that will do everything for you. hopefully if you get your phone replaced, you'll check up on the noob thread in the general forum before trying to flash anything.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolnow:
Wow. Consumers aren't supposed to use RSD lite, especially for restoring to stock firmware. Hope they laugh at you because frankly, you deserve it. Also, that "it's their fault my device is messed up, even though i blatantly ignored all warnings and bricked my device myself" is what makes these forums a chore to read nowadays.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treehumper:
The first thing I thought was this:

"You take a risk every time you flash something to your phone, whether or not it's something light or heavy. If you're unprepared to face the consequences or your parents are going to be peed off because you're tampering with something without foreknowledge then you can only blame yourself if something goes wrong. I am sorry you are in your current predicament but you did bring it upon yourself."

Then I was left wondering why you decided to flash a stock firmware?

Hey guys, made a video tutorial on how to install ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich)

In the video i show you how to install tytungs NexusHD2 ICS ROM. I know other roms may use slightly different methods but you can modify my tutorial to work on your rom e.g. if the rom your installing tells you that you need a 250mb partition, then flash a 250mb partition instead of the 200mb one that i use in the video.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] inf3rno1:
No offense, but is this really necessary? And in the development subforum? After this long in the HD2's lifecycle im sure just about everyone knows how to flash a rom, as this isn't any different to install than any other android rom. Regardless, props for trying to help people out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kypeth:
video tutorials are the pits... pictorials are where it's at.

reasoning? You can't update a video, you just have to post a brand new one, and either delete the old one or put a link for the new one in the old one, this is not conducent to clear understanding.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Agreed. This is pretty pointless.

There are plenty of guides already and this isnt really specific to ICS anyway, The steps are basically same for all roms.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 96edwy:
the thing is some people actually don't know how to do it, i agree that most people should, but i get messaged all the time on my youtube channel asking how to flash stuff or asking me to help them with problems they are having flashing roms. and it may be pointless to you but if it helps a few people then its not pointless.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Fietspomp:
Problem is people don't search anymore.

Everything about flashing can be found at the right places, shouldn't be so hard!

If you can't find it, then you're not smart enough to flash it anyway.....

It's no rocket science!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dizzle:
Hmmm. I think this thread although made with good intentions is unnecessary and confusing. The tiltle suggests that there's some special method of flashing ics. Clearly there isn't and there are guides tutorials all over the place (including stickies) for flashing everything.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
But if these "few" don't have the mental capacity to look at sticky topics or use search then they shouldn't be attempted to flash their phone in first place.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denyboy:
Thans for trying to be helpfull. But really this topic is pointless.

Its standard procedure not different from any other rom. And there is no point in making tutorial for every ROM. Only difference is in recovery size, cache...etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arizmin:
This is way backward and redundant, shouldn't be in dev thread, better place is in Q&A.

No offense but pls close this thread...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Agreed, not sure what the OP was thinking tbh. Is he/she/somebody else going to create a video guide for every rom even though steps are same?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DannyBiker:
Well at least, tytung's work has been featured on many websites, partially thanks to that video (it's a known fact that blogs prefer to add a video to a post).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Yes but that has got nothing to do with posting the said video in a dev thread. This rom does not need any special installation and is no different any other install and does not need to be in a dev forum.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 96edwy:
all my other tutorial vids have been posted here and there has never been a problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
IMO the only thing wrong with this thread is that it could cause some confusion as people may think that ICS uses a different flashing method. The thread placement is, as far as I'm concerned, fine :)

Hi there!

I have some doubts so need your help!

Right now, I am using LG stock ROM v20L EURO open (downloaded as .kdz file).

Since I am interesting for some cool themes here, I figured that I must have deodexed ROM installed and I downloaded Paul's deodexed stock version. Before I try to flash this ROM I am not sure what will happened with my Baseband 0725 for 20L that I got with kdz.file after flashing deodexed ROM in CWM. Do I need flash baseband again? Also, before flashing do I need wipe something (cache & dalvik) since I will use stock version again (only deodexed this time)? I am not sure is it stock kernel is included in stock v20L ROM?

Thank you in andvance for your help!

Cheers

your baseband will be kept, no need to flash again for the baseband. cause you're already v20L

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donohuebrian:
Okay, I haven't been able to fully understand this so maybe someone can explain it:

I am using KG2 (Villian Rom). It's a Bell SGS2.

Now, I'm wondering if I can change to KI8 or something else later, or will this phone only work on KG2?

Battery right now, is 8hrs with fairly heavy use. I was expecting 10-12, and I have a feeling its the kernel + ROM. I'm thinking of going back to a rooted stock, but I need to know if I need to use KG2?

Can I change the modem/baseband/etc? I don't quite understand how the versions work.

If I can change it, what SHOULD I be running?

Edit: Take a look at the graph... Maybe with this kind of usage, almost 8hr is all I can really expect. If that's true, then maybe we can just answer the question based solely on the kernel issue. I'd still like to know, to be fair.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
1. yes you can flash to KI8 if you like.

2. No, you do not need to use kG2 you can upgrade to any rom you like. Each has pros and cons that you needs to try out for yourself.

3 yes you can change the modem=baseband, firmware or kernal to any combination you like.. versions are based on the original firmware version released.

4. best for battery life so far are the latest releases Like KJ 2 or 3.

if you lower the brightness levels, you can extend the battery a little further.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
There are many thread about battery life, such as => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16973603

One of the first recommendations is to flash the latest official ROM.

As I want to stay as "stock" as possible, I am running a new stock ROM (XWKJ3) and a custom kernel, which is optimized for a better battery life => SpeedMod K2-18-test8.

Here is the corresponding thread of hardcore, the developer of this kernel => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182498&highlight=Speedmod

So, I recommend to flash the latest official ROM (you can get those as non-wipe versions in Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278).

Then test is as "untouched" stock ROM for performance and battery life.

If you are still not satisfied with it, then flash a custom kernel optimized for ... what you mostly want.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donohuebrian:
Thanks a lot. To flash the kernel, should I use ODIN or can it be done handset side? Which should I do first, kernel or ROM? Or will some of the ROMs have the kernels in? The thread has a lot of extraneous information and I can't seem to understand EXACTLY what I need to do. I've only ever done ROMS through recovery.

If I install a new kernel, it'll most likely work with the current rom (so for example, flashing a new KJ kernel, and a decent modem (is there one?) ) right? Or do I have it backwards?

I don't mind if I wipe or not, everything is in the cloud... One thing I DO notice however, is that ROMs outside of MIUI don't re-install market apps automatically. But that's something I don't mind doing, anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donohuebrian:
As per above, if I flash a whole stock ROM, will it replace the kernel as well?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beyako:
Does anyone know wich kernel is the best on the virtuous rom??
