[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchiu7:
Well after having my N1 for two years (I bought it on launch day) I finally got up the never to root it using this process.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319653

Had a few heart stopping moments as the script hung until I realised that while I had download the SDK to get the USB driver I hadn't actually installed the driver for the phone.

Confirmed that it was rooted by downloading Titanium Backup and doing a backup.

For a new ROM (as yet undecided) is a Titanium Backup good enough or should I also do the cyanogenmod clockworkmod recovery?

Should I be able to restore my apps and settings after the new ROM using the Titanium Backup?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
You wanna do a Nandroid or Full Image Backup with Clockwork. Titanium is just as you said apps and data. Although, I think CWM has a system bu option. Don't use CWM anymore use Amon_Ra. So not up on steps. The post 3.0 CW's have had issues and are documented.

You can restore apps and data at any time with Titanium, but I think to do system stuff you need to be restoring to same rom.

I highly recommend Nandroids and sdcard backups before doing any new flashing.

Start with CM7 roms the stable ones, then move on. Read OP pages fully and scan threads front to back for info/problems etc

Which recovery is user friendly for newbies like me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
Download rom manager from the market and install clockwork recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scgolfer7:
Clockwork is probably the best and easiest to use.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
But i hv read many ppl complaining abt the problem with their sd card partition due to cwm? ??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
use the pre 3.0 versions
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mori90:
Let's try Amon_RA Recovery :D

Best recovery by far. Never any issues. Been using this version for months and months. Perfect with flashing, backing up, restoring, and partitioning.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
are you experienced with fastboot commands adb etc
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
The downside with Amon_RA is it doesn't give you the option to wipe the /system partition. I have stuck with a pre-3.0 version of ClockworkMod for this reason. There is a new recovery out there called 4EXT that is based on ClockworkMod, but doesn't have the issue with corrupting partitions. He has also added a TON of new features. This does seem to be the best on out there now. He even just released a touch-based version. The thread is in the development section.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Well I arrived home from some boxing day shopping today to a package in the mail from ECell in England.

Sound like a similar tale from two weeks ago? Yup!

It's another battery review and test.

Second week results of my previous test of the Cameron Sino Technology 2200 mAh Lithium Ion "FAT" Battery are now posted in the review thread so check those out as well.

so back to my initial thoughts.

The battery came encased in a simple thin plastic deliver bag with no protection around the battery. Sorry ECell but taking the slow boat from China (Literally) I would expect a little more protection. So...5 points off for shipping style.

What was fairly impressive was the time to ship from England to Canada less the days the post was closed for weekends and holidays totalled 7 business days. So...5 points back for delivery as promised.

The battery is currently doing it's initial charge on the universal charger before I pop it in, clear my stats and start testing.

The first thing I can say about it is...Wow...Shiny. I like shiny things. :-P

Aesthetics aside, it fits properly, nice and snug under the original rear housing. I will have to get used to a "thin" phone again at least for a while...

Ok. Prediction time...

I don't see this battery making 2430 mAh but who knows. Li-Pol is different stuff and hopefully it's what slim dreams are made of.

For $17.00 US, including shipping, I won't complain if it hits 1700-1800 mAh but here's hoping.

Attached are some photos of the HTC Stock, The Cameron Sino Technology and the ECell batteries side by each and parallel for your enjoyment and viewing pleasure. :-P Notice the dimensional similarities between the stock and the ECell.

I don't have my scales of power and wisdom handy so I was unable to weigh the batteries but it feels slightly lighter to the touch but not by a considerable amount.

Right now it is at 3.85 volts and rising and very cool to the touch.

Once it's done it's initial charge I am going to run it dry under normal use a few times to calibrate the battery and post the results for average longevity, coolness to the touch during use, charging, and charge while using.

I will also post the calibrated mAh reading as well as any temperature fluctuations, etc.

Stay tuned. :cool:
[HTC Wildfire S] loveVII:
If your results are anything like mine, you're going to be extremely disappointed. :(
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
If it's the case I've got a spare battery and I can review it poorly for not meeting it's claimed rating.

Saves a lot of people time and money on a product.

If it does work well. Directs people to a good product.

Time will tell. :-)

There's my current widget log file for my 2430mah Gold battery.

I can't get the capacity calculator to run. But those times were taken every 10 seconds from 1% to 100% and back down to 1% if you want to run my data.

It should be noted that the phone was in standby mode minus about 20 texts...
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Thanks. In short. How was your experience with it? Been on battery and installing app updates, surfing etc, for 3 hours now and it's already down to 65%.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
That's what I call public service! :D

A user that really cares about directing others towards a smart buy.

Respect to d33ps1x for taking this matter so seriously. :cool:

I'm curious about your results after the first 3-4 charge/discharge cycles.

I always ignore the first cycle, no matter what battery I use.

Batteries are in stock too long before reaching our hands and their cells need to be "awaken" or electrically stimulated properly.

This will only happen after some serious charges and discharges.

I personally recommend that the first charge is never less than 8 hours long (sometimes I extend it to 12 hours).

By my experiences it does make a difference, even if the battery status led tells you the battery is already full after 3 or 4 hours charging.

Thanks for the public service and I wish you good luck with your experiences.

Never underestimate the first 3-4 charge cycle rule that some known battery manufacturers recommend. Mugen Power for example almost says that your battery will only be ready for use after the 4th or 5th complete charge and discharge... :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
First burn test results for ECell Gold 2430 mAh battery are here!

See this post for test results...

Now burn testing stock battery for comparision.

Decided to formalize the testing a bit more as terms like "under moderate useage", etc, are pretty well useless. Spent the night reading other reviews of this battery for other phones and no one had even a semi formal test in place. Just a lot of guestimates and subjective analysis.

I am going to compare this ECell Gold battery to an HTC Stock 1230 mAh and a Cameron Sino Technologies 2200 mAh doublesize "fat phone" and provide comparison based results from a common setup in a fairly static environment.

Enjoy the first set of results!

Final rundown between the HTC Stock and the ECell Gold Head to Head is here...
[HTC Wildfire S] loveVII:
My Gold battery was only rated at 320. Guess I got the short end of the stick, eh? What buyer did you purchase from?
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
ECell On Ebay.

If you look at it as a $20.00 replacement battery it's a deal compared to a stock cell at $45.00 but definitely far removed from it's claimed capacity.
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
I'll buy this battery ASAP at 7:00 am tomorow thanks for reviewing it.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Update:

As an update. After cycling it for a while now with full to empty to full cycles it is averaging out at 1503 mAh measured which is as good as a muygen. (sp) at $50.00

With my usage pattern, which is moderate to high, I am getting an average of 1 day 4 hours out of it per use.

It's holding it max millivolts just fine as well.

The discharge cycle is very predictable with no sudden drops throughout the cycle. As you can see when I first use it after a charge cycle there is a steeper drop as I am checking forums, sms, calling, etc.
[HTC Wildfire S] bsoplinger:
This sounds promising but I want to make sure...

Unlike the big battery which needs a special back for the phone and only fits the smaller Wildfire S not the larger one like my Virgin Mobile (CDMA) this is just a regular sized battery so I should be able to use it, correct?

[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Same thing happen to me, the battery for a gsm will fit a cdma and vice versa, but the backdoor will only work with gsm, I bought a Cameron Sino for my virgin mobile and wad disapointed that it didn't work, battery fits but not the case, the cdma has a weird desing, sort of a lip, making a extended cover for cdma phone probaly won't happen because of the way its designed

HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
[HTC Wildfire S] laurence997:
Is this the ecell gold? The same one that logged 652? I read the whole review but am I missing something? Why the high jump in capacity? Is it just more cycles, giving it a better capacity, or am I missing something else obvious. If it does 1503 that's a big increase over the stock battery ya?

BTW, thanks for taking the time to share all the info :)

Ps, are the test scores not in mAh? Maybe that's what I'm missing. I'll go read again :)
[HTC Wildfire S] laurence997:
Yeah, sorry, test scores obviously arnt mAh, my bad. Still, at 1500mAh, not too bad, though hardly realistic marketing
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
I've got 2 more coming in the mail. Going to condition and test them as well to make sure it's a fairly reliable supplier.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
One more arrived. Today the mAh percentages will be accurate enough to judge but it's looking like it's coming in at close to 1700 mAh!...

Well worth 20 bucks.

As a status update on mine. Still holding strong at 4238 mV and 1503 mAh
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Hi,

Yesterday came one of those shiny batteries in the mail for me. :)

I must agree that the packaging sucks. A big plastic bag with a loose battery inside is hardly an adequate packaging for a "professional battery" like ECell advertises it.

On the eBay feedback I mentioned swift shipping and arrival but poor packaging.

I hope that in the future they use those envelopes with air-bubbles, that do protect stuff.

Two days ago I got another battery with 1500mAh announced + wall charger with UK/EU/US adapters + micro USB cable for charging the battery and phone at the same time. :cool:

This package was extremely cheap and I needed a way to charge my extra batteries without needing to insert them in the phone. After all if we buy extra batteries one of the goals is just inserting a freshly charged battery in the phone and continue working with it, isn't it? :p

If this package works out fine I will post the eBay link to it here.

The 1500mAh battery is almost ready for "final" usage.

I still need to condition the Gold battery but I honestly don't believe it's really made from Li-Polymer. I guess it is false advertising or they are using very low quality Li-Polymer that was probably put aside by Sony-Ericsson (the first brand to use this material for batteries). :(

With the weight the battery has (and I had many Li-Polymer batteries in my hands) it could be as good as the Cameron Sino without any doubt.

Well, I will do my tests at 768 MHz to play on the safe side, also with WiFi and Cell Data off. Nothing more to interfere with the testing process.

Just need to prepare things right and have time to test this.

As soon as I have results I will publish them here just for comparison purposes.

The price of the Gold 2430 mAh is good but is the battery a good replacement?

I will see for myself soon. :)

d33ps1x, thanks a lot for this thread. Nice public service indeed. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
I've been doing some testing on the batteries I bought after giving them the proper initial conditioning. Minimum 3 full charge/discharge cycles.

The first charge cycle took more than 8 hours.

The first one that I had time to test and is ready for day to day usage, can be found on ebay.co.uk by searching "Battery + Desktop Charger+USB Cable for HTC Wildfire S".

Of course the same battery is for sale without the charger and cable.

You can even find it in packs of 2 or 3. It's an (announced) 1500mAh piece.

The bundle is in fact for the HTC HD3/HD7 but the pictures in the eBay link don't show that. In fact on the charger battery compartment there is a sticker mentioning HD7. Also the picture of the battery doesn't match what comes in the mail but the bundle has an extremely attractive price.

Mine came with the whole set of power adapters (UK/EU/US), even if that article mentions that depending on the customers country you will get the corresponding adapter only.

Included are the screens of my testing and a picture of the battery that comes in the bundle.

I have to mention that even if I had explicitly disabled WiFi on the ROM I use (see signature) and also on JuiceDefender, it seems to me that Antutu Tester connects to the internet for the first one or two minutes of the test. I saw the WiFi connected icon at the start of the test but it quickly disappeared. That's the reason on my screens you see that I have updates to download in the Android Market.

Testing conditions:

Full charge inside the phone with HTC stock charger and cable.

Phone was turned off during charge. I charged it for about 4 hours which is almost the double this battery needs.

Booted the phone, cleared battery stats with Battery Calibration by Nema and removed the charger cable. Disabled WiFi, Mobile Data and Auto-Sync on phone. Disable data on JuiceDefender Ultimate (also disabled data on screen on). Started Antutu tester with CPU set at 245/787MHz, smartass2, noop.

I guess the screens speak for themselves...

Next step will be doing the same with ECell Gold 2430 mAh and also stock battery. Will post that results this weekend. I guess that probably it should be better to charge the battery with the wall charger. What do you think d33ps1x? Should I do it and test again?

Sorry for the posting an offtopic battery test but the Gold one will be tested too. :)

Just a small note: yesterday I used the ECell Gold during my whole day and it was in fact a heavy usage one (for my standards). Had more talk time than usual (about one hour), got and replied lots of emails both on gmail and using my IMAP/SMTP account, used the phone in areas with weak network coverage which usally drains battery, sent and received more than 50 sms/reports, browsed the internet with google searches and accessed some heavy websites, and at the end of the day I had almost 50% battery left. From my experience yesterday would have left my stock battery very low.

There aren't 2430 mAh inside but it certainly gives a nice boost when comparing to stock. Testing will hopefully show that. Sorry for my huge posts... ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Testing goes on and this time it was the Ecell Gold 2430 mAh to be judged.

The testing conditions are the same like in my previous post.

Note: Juicedefender was running but not shown in notification bar. No tricks or gimmicks here. Conditions must me the same to have accurate results.

Somehow this testing processes leave me to think that the results have a lot of influence from the rom used. It's not only the overclock that counts for sure.

Even the fact that you use (or not) swapping interferes, amongst other kernel optimizations.

Oops, now I see that I can't attach files from XDA Premium... :( Have to do it on my PC.

EDIT: Done. :D

Now I'm going to test the last battery left, the stock HTC 1230 mAh.

Results soon to come. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Now for the final test results, the HTC Stock 1230mAh that came with my phone. I will also make a comparison between the three batteries that I got to experiment.

Attached to this post are the screens of the HTC battery.

The results were the following, from the weakest ascending to the strongest.

HTC Stock 1230mAh battery:

Antutu tester score: 466

Total test time: 2h35m

"No brand" 1500mAh bundle battery (for HD7)

Antutu tester score: 491

Total test time: 2h44m

Ecell Gold 2430mAh battery:

Antutu tester score: 600

Total test time: 3h20m

The results speak for themselves. Only 9 minutes improvement with a 1500mAh battery is very questionable. The price of those batteries is ridiculously low and if you're looking for a simple replacement of the stock battery it isn't a bad buy. The 45 minutes improvement of the Ecell Gold battery are more interesting but still way behind its announced capacity. Once again for the price they cost, those batteries certainly deserve a chance. The HTC stock battery is more expensive than any of the other two so I guess there is always a win win chance.

NOTE: I have a hunch that the result of the Ecell is lower than its actual capacity.

Later in the evening when I don't need to use the phone I will perform the test again, so that absolutely nothing interferes with the integrity of the process.

If the result is different I will post it here for accurate information guarantee.

Then I will explain the reason for the second test. :p

EDIT: ECell Gold scored 598 in the second test. I guess I was wrong about thinking that a background app could be draining the battery. This concludes my testing for now. When I have the chance to try out (buy) a different battery for a reasonable price then I will test it and post results.

Have a nice Sunday! :cool:

[HTC Wildfire S] pierpaolo9600:

[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Still using the Ecell gold and it's sitting rated at around 1500 mAh still.

I haven't experienced this.

Overall an excellent $9 battery.

Friends who also use them have had the same experiences.
[HTC Wildfire S] Miche1asso:
Could you please give roughly the time of charging for the other two batteries as well? Just as a matter of comparison.

Anyway I am running the test with the Gold 2430 mAh for my Galaxy Pop Plus (I know, different phone, but the batteries are about the same) and these are my results:

Antutu score: 547

Antutu Test duration: 03:00 (99% to 18%)

Total test duration: 03:57 (Antutu draining the last 18%)

The last 18% went on for 57 minutes, which is bizarre. Still, not a 2430mAh. 1500mAh, maybe.

I am trying to find a method to temporarily root an ATT SGSII for someone else. (Currently still on 2.3.4 until battery drain issue is fixed with 2.3.6)

They do not need permanent root as they would not know what to do with it.

The reason I want to do this is to simply remove the AT&T Bloatware without tripping any of the flash counters.( I know there is the kernel counter and a suspected counter reset "counter").

So essentially, here is the conceptual method I would be looking for:

1. Initiate temporary root

2. Remove bloatware

3. Reboot phone

4. Phone is bloat free without any trace of flashing and root removed

I appreciate any insight or help I can get on this. (I tried searching xda and Google, but have found little information on this(at least for this device).

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
Even if they don't have any interest with using root functions why not leave it? Would leaving the phone rooted actually cause any issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There are no temp roots - you'll need to use the standard permaroots, then as the last thing you do, remove the following three files:

/system/xbin/su

/system/bin/su

/system/app/Superuser.apk

to unroot

I dont think that exists. However u should just root ur phone and keep it. I was hesitant to root it myself but it's the best thing that I ever did for my phone.
