[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
the blackstone usb port is a known weak spot, maybe it really just quit on you and you should replace the mainboard. another possibility would be that the phone is fine and the battery is broken. the easiest way to tell which one it is would be to charge the battery directly in a docking station or external wall charger or get a new battery for it and try and charge it in the phone, see if it behaves any differently than your phone does now. if you are lucky, you can get your hands on either one from a store with a good return policy, so if that does not do the trick, you can return it as used only once and get your money back.

sadly, if this didn't help, you might want to say goodbye to your beloved blackstone, because replacing the mainboard is a lot of work and might become quite pricey for a device that is hardly worth 100eur these days.
[Touch HD General] Ntaltonas:
Thanks for your answer!

I person I know has a working blackstone and I will ask him to lend me the battery. I am not good at soldering and I wouldn't bother with changing the board at all.

I cross my fingers and hope it works, because I loved this phone so far, it could do anything...:(
[Touch HD General] Ntaltonas:
Got the battery from that guy, tested the phone and still it wont charge... :(
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
too bad, then probably your usb port and/or mainboard is fried. if you want to hold on to the phone, get an external charger, like a docking station with 2nd battery charger, kinda like this (not this exact one obviously, as it is for the galaxy s2): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Sync-C...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a16087f53

or a direct battery charger like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-1530-bat...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3cbebda52d
[Touch HD General] Ntaltonas:
Once again thanks, but I have already have made my plans!

The phone itself is far from broken, so I am going to make it an entertainment device, for home use. No battery. Just a 3.7 DC transformer, acting like a battery. For the move, a simple nokia dumphone does the work!:)

Going to get back on you when I complete the project.:)

I don't understand what u r asking. All wp7 phones, do not charge when off.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dormix:
Infact that's the focus of my question, maybe because charging is managed by OS, but what I want to know is that it will be possible in future to recharge wp7 devices when turned off like other mobiles do?

Yup, you would most likely need to modify either the hardware or the baseband to get this to work. With android it automatically boots into the recovery and charges from there until you turn the phone on.

Don't know of a way to do it with the stock one, but if you don't mind it being on top left corner in your notification bar, look at signal status in the market it can show it as bars or as db readings. I couldn't live with out it, had it on my old blackberry as well.

I updated the website with a note and a link to the apk (for those who have already purchased the app):

I appealed the decision, but based on what I've read online, I'm not really expecting a response from Google.

I just purchased my first copy at the new website

Installed it on a stock non-rooted EVO3d and works like a charm.

I decided I needed it when I was working at a place that has a call dropping signal and it wore my battery down to 15% by the end of the day. I Installed this and put in roam mode and battery was at like 68% after listening to podcasts all day and I had data (slow but i had it).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
O man I am nervous.. Take a look at that screen shot.. What the heck is going on? the same thing happened to me yesterday! The battery was fine and all of a sudden the phone shut off and i cant get it to turn on unless i remove the battery and reinsert it. Yesterday when it happened there was no battery issue. But today when i turned it on the battery was nearly dea and the phone was hot. Like it had shut it itself off to protect it self.. any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
i was having some serious battery drain due to my reception issues. I had my plan updated to 4g on att side and setup the hsdpa apn. since then i have been connected much better and battery is a heck of alot better. However I still have reception issues when I am on my home wifi which I cant figure out how thats possible.

not sure if its the same type of thing for you or not but I figured id share at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
whats the display awake time show? curious if it is around 2 hours as well (vs the time the phone was on, or wasn't locked up).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Notice the drop off !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
Looks like it coincides with loss of phone signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
if thats the case then we have problems....wth ! why would that cause the phone to get hot and shut itself off ? and then not be able to turn it back on until a battery pull?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
maybe it is something like my issue.

I see you are on wifi with almost no signal. If you turn the wifi off does the signal go up and also not kill the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I don't think it's from loss of signal. The point where the huge drop is shows no signal cause the phone was locked up, or off, therefore there is a loss of time in the graph as well.

Any idea how much time passed between when you used it last, and when you found it off and hot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
gee i couldnt say exactly.. if i had to guess id say maybe a half hr to an hr
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
definitely factory reset and try using for several hours without installing anything. rule out apps or incompatibilities.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
thats what i am trying to remember.. if i installed anything in the past 24hrs.. first time it happened was yesterday around 8pm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
time to do some experiments then I guess. either try to narrow down what could be locking up the phone by turning off things, removing apps, ect.

or maybe connect it to a computer and maybe see if you can catch something with adb logcat.

maybe someone has some better debugging idea for you?

[General Questions and Answers] Lyian:
Well i didnt see any threads come up that followed this topic, and i dont want to post it in either one of the individual forums to avoid bias. But as the title asks.

Im still on a Touch pro 2 (dont hate plz) and its SLOW and im ready to retire it. I know i want an android phone. These are the two ive found, primarily because of the dual core and the Sense. (which is why i dont care for the GS2S

Sensation

+ Dual Core

+ Looks better on the outside (i prefer round edges)

+ Has decent specs

- Is not native to AT&T (my carrier, and the best carrier for my area)

- Has a bit lower specs than the Vivid

Vivid

+ Dual Core

+ Native to AT&T

+ Has better specs than the Sensation (at first glance anyway)

- AT&T brand is bootloader locked (no cutsom roms?)

- The back looks like crap

- Not a fan of square phones

So what are the impressions of people who have used these phones? Which is more recommended?
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
I prefer the Sensation. When my AT&T contract is up, if HTC keeps the next version of the Sensation's looks similar, I will go back to T-Mobile and get one...tentatively, anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] Lyian:
umm.. anymore feedback on this?
[General Questions and Answers] Lyian:
Dam.. now i just got wind of the HTC Amaze, and it looks REally good.. *ponders*
[General Questions and Answers] pside15:
I have the Vivid and it is a really good phone out of the box but the locked bootloader is a huge letdown for me. I got spoiled with all of the development for my Inspire I suppose.

I'm sure it will get unlocked eventually but no telling when though.

I've never messed with the Sensation so I can't compare the 2. But if you are grandfathered into the unlimited plan on AT&T and in a LTE area I would go with the Vivid, unless you don't want to wait for the bootloader unlock.
[General Questions and Answers] Lyian:
Ive never had a data plan, so id have to add it on. If i get it non-contract i can use the cheaper plan, but i think even grandfathered, if you upgrade on contract they force you on to the new pricing (could be wrong)

As far as time goes im not in a big hurry. Im working on getting a new computer first so it would realistically be a few months before i picked up a new phone. By then im sure something even better might be out.. who knows.
[General Questions and Answers] nonione:
i got the sensation cause of its looks to tell the truth, i know vivid has slight better specs but its really really ugly i woudnt be happy everytime i look at it lol
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenavm:
For the last couple weeks, I've had this problem where the bottom dock on my webtop freezes after 3-5 minutes, leaving me to alt-tab through everything. I did a little research and either the answers to these problems are buried deep within threads I can't find, or this may just be an isolated problem.

I'm on the verge of just wiping and starting all over, perhaps with a different OC kernel and ROM, but if anyone has a solution or a rhyme or reason to this, that'd be great. I've heard that virtually any OC kernel will break webtop one way or another, primarily with the status bar. I could care less about the status bar, really. I'm just not sure if this is another possible effect. I'm running Alien v4 on Faux123's 1.45 unified kernel.

I would love to flash MIUI Rom simply because it is so elegant. But it has no 4g or 3d for the evo 3d, anyone know if the dev will put it in?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
it requires reverse engineering from sense, since wimax is closed source, it makes this VERY difficult. I hope that team win will be able to do this like they did for the evo4G, but for now, I can run miui on 3G, it's just as elegant :)
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Evo4g doesn't have 4g I know this cuz I'm running miui on my evo 4g right now. Unless you ment the thunderbold. Those guys have LTE working on miui Rom. dont know how they did it but dam they are geniuses

Don't wait for our Rom to get 4g anytime soon its like finding a piece of hay in an ocean of needles
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Great answer above, couldn't have said it better myself!

Same logic applies to 3D as it does to 4G support. HTC closed source code and requires reverse engineering.

As soon as 4G and/or 3D are reversed and supported this will probably occur with relation to CM, MIUI should quickly use the same files/code to add into their ROM.

Would watch for support in CM as this should be an early indicator as to the status of support in MIUI.

EVO 4G has 4G support in CM. I thought I remember hearing MIUI used the CM code for 4G support on the EVO 4G but perhaps they haven't. Either way, once CM supports 4G and 3D, MIUI will technically be able to as CM open sources all their code and is based on AOSP which MIUI also states they are based on.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
I thought it was because there was no 4g in China?
[HTC EVO 3D] Holyrolla:
The other issue is that MIUI is closed source, and the Chinese would have to include the bits to 4G when they compile from their source. However, since the EVO 4G and consequently the EVO 3D are not supported phones over there, they don't include the code for 4G WIMAX to work, even though they use CM's source. US MIUI Devs have been talking to them though to get them to change that, but last I heard on this is that it's slow going, and not something of a priority to them.

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You can never be grandfathered in. When you upgrade your phone to LTE and sign a new contract it will have any new restrictions and price changes. Hopefully it will not happen but if it does they will still need to be cheaper than the competitors or their coverage issues will cause people to switch.
[Epic 4G General] 5FOOTER:
You can possibly just buy the phone at full price and keep your plan. Not sure how they are gonna handle the LTE guess we may find out in Jan.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yes until your contract runs out and then they are free to change your plan or you sign a new contract with the new plan. If you upgrade riiiiiiighhhht before they change the plans then you can get almost 2 years out of it but doubt they would activate LTE and start selling LTE phones without the rates in place.
[Epic 4G General] tkeyes:
that's incorrect, thats what should be the case, but its not ask anyone that had or has an data card, wifi hotspot with sprint. one day it was unlimited data the next day it wasnt. i was still under contract till next year.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Ouch, that is worse. But doesn't it actually say unlimited data in our contract? Then that would get you out of an ETF anyway.
[Epic 4G General] HanMan5000:
I don't think Sprint will get rid of unlimited data. Sprint has been advertising unlimited data for months and it is definitely a customer catcher, I mean just look at their latest commercial.

Them upgrading to LTE would simply make it even better :).

Let's face it, a lot of these "analyst" are just giving random thoughts based on speculation. We won't know until we get an official word, but I seriously doubt that sprint will be cutting unlimited.
