[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
Just draining it and fully recharging it is NOT calibrating the battery. That is not the procedure to do a calibration.

It *can* lead to better life by recalibrating the full point and empty points. If the ROM isnt reading the battery life properly then it can look like you have much less battery than you do, or that it is draining much faster than it is.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alcnaeon:
By my understanding, because of the way modern phones are set up to display battery life, sometimes the meter will read differently from the actual battery life. Your meter might read 100%, but you really might only have 85% or 90% charge. Calibrating helps to bring these measurements back into parity, increasing the perceived battery life of your device by allowing you to use a full, accurately read charge.

One thing I do know, the bit about letting your battery run to empty and then recharging is outdated information. The batteries we use nowadays don't benefit from that kind of behavior.
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
Calibration is for the phone not the battery, the phone needs to adjust itself to the battery %, seems to fix itself for me over time, through reboots, etc seems to get really good battery life, placebo effect is in motion....

Cant seem to find what it includes.. does it come with original packaging? Just refurbished headphones?
[Member-Found Deals] mbh87:
no packaging, just a carry case if they have one and the accessories they normally come with new.
[Member-Found Deals] KrisHilbun:
Ok so comes with everything just not orig packaging? Just making sure :)
[Member-Found Deals] redsoxfan320:
I actually bought my Studios from the outlet site and they were great. It came with everything except the expensive packaging so I got, the studios, a headset splitter, carrying case, two headphone cables, one was white and one was black and also a little wipe. If you want to see what it looks like, check out the link. I just sold my headphones on ebay, and by the way the price changes because I bought my studios on there for $150 back in February or March.

I'm not an expert who has compared every headphone out there but I love them. Reason I sold mine is because I was sick of owning headphones that were over priced. Obviously when you get them through the outlet your buying them way under retail, but the amount of money that you pay to own a pair of headphones the bear the name Dr.Dre is insane. I'm considering buying Sony's that are selling at bestbuy for like $80 and for like $60 on amazon. The reviews say they are as good as Beats by Dre Studios so I'm figuring that when you buy a pair of Studios at $300 at the most $100 is going to performance and sound. The rest is profit on the brand name and design.

Hope that helps you understand the quality of the headphones, but depending on how much spending money you have, you should get them. I'm just 16 so $150 on headphones is big money, but I did feel like a king when I had them on.
[Member-Found Deals] mbh87:
Simple answer, no. Buy something better for cheaper or the same price.
[Member-Found Deals] Alex530:
Maybe they get large shipments of headphones and want to get rid of stock quick? It would make sense.
[Member-Found Deals] jay_993:
also theres a ton of fake dres around.
[Member-Found Deals] sk337sk337:
These are from Monster
[Member-Found Deals] capocaccia:
Dres are **** headphones. Seriously. There are much better options for Over ear and In ear headphones out there at much better prices.

The entire line is horrendously overpriced—you're paying for the name of a rapper who hasn't put out a rap album in 12 years. Instead of going for a dubious status symbol, pick out something great and affordable.

[Member-Found Deals] JayXL14:
Did you really see it for $99? Any chance it will be like that again?

Interested in getting the Beats but don't know if I should get the Studios at $150 (if/when they drop) or wait for $100
[Member-Found Deals] capocaccia:
The truth is you shouldn't buy them unless you just have to have the name. There's better audio quality to be had with much cheaper headphones. Check out the monoprice 8323. 23$ and sound like 100$ phones. As in your beats sound like 23$ headphones that you have beats by dre stamped on it

Thanks for the tip, I've been to headfi and stuff so I know there are better options. I have some really good IEM's headfi helped me pick out.

But this might be something I use casually or as a gift, which is why I am interested.

Any help with my question is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Member-Found Deals] PC Jona:
as a musician for 10 years, these head phones sound really good.

just as good as bose imo.

there are other brands out there, seinheiser klipsch, shure and koss, which are also very good, and i understand why people complain about these headphones being overpriced

but you have to understand, its the style of the headphones as well as the sound. no other headphones out there look this way, and they look really nice.

if you like alot of bass and your arent totally ignorant then you know these a good headphones. not the best, but they are good

if you can get them at a cheaper price its worth it.

Bad news.

we have been put off untill "mid-december/right in time for christmas" some of you already knew this.

GOOOOD NEWS!

Originally we were only supposed to get the ageis case, BUT according to tridents facebook page we will also be getting their....... KRAKEN A.M.S!

this info was just released on their fb page Wednesday.

Trident Case:

"Originally, the Kraken AMS for the T989 was designed for Japan/Europe and AT&T devices only but we revamped it to fit the T-mobile version as well. The release dates are targeted more than likely to be accurate. Although, some products do hit a slight delay depending if the production went smoothly or not. As far as we know, mid December is the target date and we'll inform you once it arrives."

Great news. I'm still waiting for a good kickstand case. Case mate has been taking forever to finish their tmo version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CadioXIII:
I am not entirely sure about this so don't quote me on it... however it looks like the kraken ams case for our phone wont have a built in screen protector. Which is fine by me, I'm jot to fond of them.

I am saying this based on the other non-iphone kraken ams cases I have seen so far, they don't have them either

~Thrown by the Juggernaut Hercules~
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
Even greater news for me. Because I prefer not having a built in screen protector...I'd rather use a brand I've grown accustomed to or feels better to my touch.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] p.a.d.g.:
Yeah...I went ahead and bought one because I'm not a kickstand user. I love the Cyclops that I have on my Glacier. Kraken definitely would have been best, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
im currently an incipio silicrylic user... used to be a trident user

i really like the trident case for this phone but a few things bother me

- the rubber color changes when you change color options? not the plastic?

- it seems thicker than my incipio 2piece silicrylic case

- the cutout around the camera.... why is it so much bigger than the camera? you can see the battery door around all sides of the camera....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rosebud1:
Yeah I noticed the color swap of hard and soft layers. Not sure if I like that yet. Also I don't know why they left space there... Probably an error... But the aegis case was so solid on other phones I go in anyway. We will see
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ThisIsHarsh:
Given that the I9100 allows keyboard, mouse and hdmi output, it would be great to rig it up to perform as a little netbook. So, one would require

a battery-powered LCD with HDMI input,

a seperate power supply (battery with micro USB output) for the HDMI adaptor (seems like that is necessary)

bluetooth keyboard and mouse/trackball/touchpad (since it seems you can't connect both USB and HDMI at the same time),

and possibly a ROM that would take advantage of such a setup.

[EDIT: scouring amazon reveals portable LCDs with HDMI input and many external phone chargers.]

So my question is, what is the feasibility of such a setup, given the necessary hardware? does the necessary hardware exist? has anyone done such a thing already (quick search on google revealed nothing)?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] flamingspaz:
I don't think it would be feasible to do it. You'd need an MHL adapter which people say drains battery even when it's plugged into a socket, and an OTG cable and afaik you can't use both at once. Bluetooth mouse/keyboards would further reduce the battery life.

Not to mention with all of this you'd need a fan of some sort to keep everything cool.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] supermult:
Just buy an ipad or one of the countless droid pads and a nice bluetooth keyboard.. you probably don't want to carry a screen larger than 10 inch with you.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sinjinn:
www.engadget.com/2011/12/19/lightpad-connects-your-smartphone-to-an-11-inch-screen-expands/

This came today on engadget. Truthfully, I could do without all the fancy projection stuff, I'd much prefer a psion 5 size keyboard dock.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] equlizer:
After playing MAME on my tv with the MHL cable for an hour and using a PS3 sixaxis controller over bluetooth, I loose about 15% battery life. Yes its plugged in otherwise it wont work :p The back got fairly warm after the first 5 mins.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
Part of the problem with battery drain when using MHL is the inability to turn the GS2 screen off which is a pain. I was watching a movie on the TV and it was distracting to have the screen mirroring the TV.

If you want a netbook type thing then just get an original Galaxy Tab and a BT keyboard case like this one

This is what I use with my Tab and it works fine.

Thinking about using my upgrade for this phone......i would love honest feedback positive and negative
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I love it! Stock it is binged but root and put on GingerVolt its amazing.

GINGERVOLTED!
[LG Revolution] revo_65:
I agree. Stock it isnt that great, definitely with the bing. Not a bad phone stock tho, i used it stock for about a month.

But once you root and put gingervolt on it, it is amazing. Mt has done some great things with this phone. (and root is easy now with his kit in development section)
[LG Revolution] Pinesal:
The LG Revolution has very little community support. I wouldn't get it if you like having the latest in Android. Get a Nexus phone instead.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Wait a week, see what's happening with the nexus.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
The LG Revolution is a very good phone. It has a terrible draw back, it doesn't have anything to make it a "flagship" phone. It doesn't have expansive speaker sound. It doesn't have wicked gadgets and dodads. It isn't the thinnest, the lightest, it doesn't have the best screen. Honestly, if you want a phone mentioned above, they are out there. What this phone is, is a phone. But what this phone has, that no other phone has: fans. It has the most loyal fan base of any phone I have ever seen. I have had many phones, and the forums, and the dedications to the development of this phone, are beyond anything you can imagine. And a lot of these guys have never developed until this phone. If these guys were not here, there would be no LG Revolution today. But through, their hard work, dedication, and our desire to want more, the LG survives. LG knows this, they know we are here, I hope they use it as inspiration to create a better phone.

The phone has no major issues. The phone is easy to unlock, get in, and rom away. It is a treat to be able to flash something new, in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, because this is not a "flagship" phone, there is a limited number of developers. But there is a plus to that: quality roms, themes, and mods.

I love my phone. I love the community. I have upgradeitis (to be unhappy a day after owning a product, and a desire to buy bigger and better) (my wife hates it) but I am completely happy with this phone. I don't know how many days I have until I can get a new phone, because I don't care. I am more than fine with using this one, until I get piss ass drunk and destroying it in a mad rage. (story is for dramatic purposes only)
[LG Revolution] adrenaline_rush:
Pretty bad I would say. Especially if you already have a Droid Charge. It has crappy stock software and an overall unrefined feel that usually comes about with LG Android phones. Not even close to being worth wasting an upgrade on especially with all the nicer phones available. Honest opinion lol
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
I attribute this answer to drug use. Really what is going on with the youth today.

-1

And honestly, from the Charge, you are looking at a step up in looks alone (Charge is dang ugly) but mostly it would be a step over, if you remain in stock.

I bought this phone for two reasons: cnet had a review, that compared it to the iphone. (although, it really doesn't beyond the surface, I think the iphone has a better core system) And with in a day, it was opened and unlocked. With in a week it was Superoneclicked. That kind of openness has not been seen for awhile.

If you choose to wait.. I would wait until the Googlrola comes out. Android is all about being open, I would hope that their phone would be as well. It may be a bit, Tmobile, and Sprint will have first crack at a completely Google phone. Until then, you could have this gem.

So I just looked up Motorola in the news, and they are already planning for the RAZRMAX, it will have a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy, and a bigger, better battery.
[LG Revolution] antiwesley:
Some may call me crazy, but I actually upgraded to the Revo from an iPhone 4 and never looked back.

The community, the ease of modifying, and general fun-ness of the phone really made me happy.

My one major complaint about the phone is the poor battery life.

Good programs exist to help out with that, they just don't play well with the phone.

Other than that, I have never regretted the move.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Indeed, but to my recollection, it was notable compared to the Iphone in that department. There are programs, and over and under clocking that can be done. Like I told MT, I just did the Gingervolt 1.3 and the new kernel, and I have a really good battery life. With in the next couple weeks, as Android learns, it will get better.
[LG Revolution] thunderbread:
Can u guess post screen shots using a custom rom for me
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Well, I don't think any of us have the original home screens. As far as me, I run gingervolt 1.3, Mt has screen shots on the development pages. And then I am using meezys theme? I should really put that in a signature so I can remember. Its either that, or indys.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Mines the marble theme! You know the best one!

GINGERVOLTED!
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Check out the development section and gingervolt 1.3. Then head over to the themes and apps. Check out all the themes in there! Alot of people have really put in time to really get this phone full of awesomeness!

Yes i just said awesomeness lol!

GINGERVOLTED!
[LG Revolution] adrenaline_rush:
So there's no possible way on earth this phone isn't the greatest device ever made? And your opinion is a fact where mine is "attributed to drug use?" That's pretty childish I think.

I've used the Charge, HTC Thunderbolt, Droid X, Droid 2, Droid 1, Incredible, Fascinate if i'm remembering all. Did you just upgrade from a LG Dare or something? In comparison with these and other phones the Revolution just feels cheap and unrefined. Look anywhere on people's opinions of LG android phones. They aren't exactly in the highest regard. But that probably won't matter to you since someone with opposing views must be on drugs.

It helps looking at things objectively, just because you use this phone doesn't make it great. Also stop writing off your opinions as facts, and let the person decide.

OP get the Galaxy Nexus if you want something that will actually have the current software and will be supported in a timely manner. Also it's a polished and smooth device as evident by the reviews. A future proof device worth upgrading to I would say.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
The revolution is the worst of the big screen LTE phones on Verizon. Anyone telling you different is fooling themselves so they can be happy with it. I highly recommend not getting it. In fact I'll ask you not to get it, as I dont want to see Verizon or LG make another dollar off it. Many people have already jumped off board and many others wish they could.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Okay, All the people on here ripping this phone apart. No right now I wouldn't get this phone again given the choices I have of other LTE phones that have been released since this phones inception. If I went back to when I got the phone there is no other option for me. I think the Charge just looks like a piece of junk (if you like it go for it and buy it). The Thunderbolt is HTC and I'm just anti-HTC because of sense. With the phones out now I would either get the Droid Bionic or wait another month or 2. I don't want the Galaxy Nexus because the storage isn't removable (it's either that or the battery. Either way that's no go for me.) The RAZR doesn't have a removable battery so another no go for me there too. Who knows what will be out in a few months. Above all else OP get what you want. Go to the stores and play with each phone for some time to get used to it. Also, don't forget that Verizon lets you switch phones as long as you do it within a week. At least they used too. I hope this was helpful :)
[LG Revolution] devin37354:
If it was today, I wouldn't get this phone.. just like all hardware, new and improved hardware is delivered every day... but when I did get this phone back in the summer, I wouldn't have chosen anything else.. I picked it over the iPhone, over the thunderbolt, and over the charge... several things made me pick it.. the big screen, Netflix( at the time it was the only phone with Netflix.. ) and finally, IMO,it has the most responsive touch screen I have ever seen.. my gf likes it much better than her thunderbolt..

If you can get this phone for under 150 I would still get it today, even with the lte lineup.. it is much better than a lot of their premium phones and 100 times better than their cheap lte android phones..

Don't waste upgrade on this phone!!!!!!!! GNEX is coming out on Dec. 9 and the RAZR is awesome itself. You will regret getting this phone once you see how the razr and gnex work. They are both clean and fast. If the gnex has a better radio than previous Samsungs, it will be the bees knees.
