A friend of mine ported cm7 to my phone, it manages to boot but nothing works on it not even the adb, we have tried changing the drivers and also have provided the necessary permission for all the hardware. But still nothing works and we don't know what's going wrong as the source for phone is not provided.

Is it possible to edit the update.zip such that android dumps the logcat upon booting to sdcard?

Can anyone at here help me with this problem? I'm new at here. This is the problem, before today, I can type chinese without problems until just now when I type, the typing box (when you press on the space to type, then the keyboard will just pop up for you to type) will automatically close when I press any key on the keyboard. This problem only happens when I type chinese words with PinYin, I can type english words without any problem. As example, the keyboard pop out then I want to type 哈 in it, then when I press the first PinYin of 哈, which is h, then the keyboard will automatically close and nothing shows at the blank space, then I'll press the blank space again, the keyboard pops out for me to type, then when I press anyone of the words on the keyboard, it closes again. This happens over and over again. Anyone can solve this please? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :(

Hi,

I'm just a simple guy using HTC Desire. It's been 1.5 years and it's time to get a new battery. I wanted to get this japanese 2430mah battery but I understand it's a scam.

So instead I wanted to opt for an original battery. However I do not understand why the original battery in the official UK htc store costs 3 times as much than it is on amazon.co.uk. Is this because it is not truely genuine? Why is it so complicated to get a new battery?

All I need is a battery that would last me from morning till I go to sleep at night. I do use bluetooth, wifi and mobile internet quite a lot. That's it.

Thanks for all your help,

Timmy
[Desire Accessories] timmmy:
No one here knows if the batteries sold on Amazon are genuine or not?
[Desire Accessories] sintaku:
Depends on who is selling the batteries. Is it being sold and shipped by Amazon or is it a 3rd party who is selling and shipping through Amazon Marketplace?
[Desire Accessories] timmmy:
This is a third party. It's all very confusing. As I said above the price for what is supposedly the same battery on the HTC shop is 3 times as much.

battery not good

I bought a battery from China through dealextreme, a 1400 mAh 3,7V PISEN battery, because my orginal was getting kind of old...

It was good for 1-2 month's but after that my original 2 year old HTC battery was performing better. I would think twice before buying something else than a original battery again.
[Desire Accessories] sheepytoo:
i too have fallen foul of the fake batteries, i just want something that gives me better on time without resorting to the hump back batteries
[Desire Accessories] RealyPssd:
I too think I'm in need of a new battery, I guess I'll sift through ones on eBay for now..
[Desire Accessories] mx82:
I bought a new original htc batterie. How can I check whether it's original or crap ?

( at now, not in two month)
[Desire Accessories] ryanraven:
easy really should look exactly like your old one [ exactly ] maybe the numbers might be different but you can usually tell just read the battery word for word on the back if something's missing or something is added then its usually a fake. Had trouble before with Chinese copies -.- hate them :D

I'll be testing a 1800Mah battery soon and will post a thread about its performance, my battery is a year old and my phone deserves a new one :D
[Desire Accessories] da.russe:
don't buy a battery from 3G-Power with 2400mAh..it's total crap. my 2 year old original battery is better..
[Desire Accessories] Ancoor:
My point was, my battery was good for approximate 3 months, but after that performance decreased rapidly. Even a good test would most likely say my battery was a good buy, if it was done on a new one.

Genuine HTC battery

I bought a genuine battery off Amazon (UK). Arrived this morning, seems to be identical to my genuine HTC battery. I investigated other options, but few people seemed happy with their higher mA batteries, so went for stock.

As this is my first post and XDA seems rather fascist in its approach to trying to limit noise (which doesn't work, IMHO; look at the number of posts in the Desire ICS threads about non-working cameras...), I can't post urls. I can't even post the url without the url tags. Very frustrating.

Amazon Product ID - B003L716YI if that's any help...
[Desire Accessories] bluedesire:
I have 3G-Power with 2400mAh the only thing is that the Percent fail down faster as by the origin battery i have test the 3G-Power Battery if you have this battery try to drain down the battery to zero than you have to load the battery three times you must load the battery 8 until 9 hours three times then the Battery runs by my htc 2 Days 2 hours but you must load three times full empty 9 hours loading then again zero then load 9 hours then zero then load again 9 hours and you will see that the Battery not so bad i have tryed by my self and i can say the battery is okay and sorry for my bad english guys.

[Desire Accessories] bluedesire:
i have test the 2400 mAH battery and im now angry it runs good for a while and today only one day but it runs a week 2 days without charging so i think now its crap ware i dont know iam searching after a good battery for my 2.5 year old desire
[Desire Accessories] okishead:
For HTC for alternative batteries try to look for Mugen Power.

which model we are talking about? but for instance for Desire Z they have 3600mAh

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...c-desire-z-t-mobile-g2-with-battery-door.html

reviews of Mugen batteries are promising.
[Desire Accessories] pix106:
you can try to recalibrate your battery, using either a option of your recovery or an app from the market.

My battery is nearly 2 years old, and using latest version of this ICS Rom it's now 22% after... 2 days and 14 hours of medium use !
[Desire Accessories] GabrielSousa:
how good is your 1800 battery ?

what is the make ?

thanks
[Desire Accessories] greenie25:
My advice if you want more days of usage without losing long term usability would be to go with mugen power batteries as mine has lasted 6 months with good consistant usage. This does mean that you will have to put a new battery cover on but hey, 2-3 days of usage isn't bad.
[Desire Accessories] Jonicraw:
Actually, for $60 you can get a battery worth your time and money with double the power of a stock HTC Desire Battery on Amazon. I am planning to buy this soon because reviews look promising.

[Desire Accessories] MrWhippyHasAnIceCreamVan:
I recently purchase a new battery from amazon supplied by Platinum Solutions.

I have to say I have been disappointed with the purchase and have reverted back to my original battery, as this still holds a better charge.

I also noticed that on the HTC website they are a lot more expensive but for £7 thought i would give the Amazon's one a try. I did read somewhere (after my purchase) that the Genuine HTC battery comes in packaging with the HTC logo etc, my battery arrived in a clear plastic bag.

Hope this helps

Hi guys new to this, so please bare with me. My Charge light is on but the battery doesn't seem to be charging any ideas please?
[Desire Accessories] ryanraven:
CRAP......CRAP....... and did i mention CRAP

All batteries that show higher Mah but are the same size are usually a load of CRAP my 1800Mah Battery im testing doesn't stop charging ( Kernel issue iv'e been told ) and it drains from 100% to 80% in less than an hour sometimes, does last long with everything off and CPU set to 245mhz when screen off but other than that my Original battery which has only 94% capacity left lasts longer :)

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

yes my 1800mah battery is a fake!!!!!!

just ripped the wrapping off and found......Well see picture

says 1800mah on the front the battery is actually......wait for it.......actually see 4th picture :D

[Desire Accessories] Nascor:
Since my battery drains faster and faster (I have to charge it every night), and now isn't even lasting one day long, I start thinking about buying a new one.

this one:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/PolarCell-Ak...398?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Akkus&hash=item5ae53643c6

looks pretty good...what do you think?

it has 1600mAh, and also you got 24 months of warranty on it.
[Desire Accessories] tobby_d:
polarcell battery

I bought exactly such a Polarcell battery.

I tested with BatteryMonitor app, which gave strange results (no meaningfull values) regarding voltage, measured capacity etc.

I sent it back because I thought, it was broken. I immediatly got a new battery back, but got the same results there, as well.

Overall, the battery seems to last OK, but not significantly longer than my old HTC battery, when it was new.

But the service seems to be good.
[Desire Accessories] Nascor:
thanks!

My battery is now about 1 and a half year old, and I don't get to a whole day properly. So, if it lasts as long as a new battery, that's more then enough for me.

gonna buy it the next days....
[Desire Accessories] lotrando77:
So

So Nascor. Are you happy with your battery? Im in the same situation. I have a 1.3 year old desire with original battery. And it lasts a day (quiet poor). Is it worth to buy the PolarCell solution? Or are there any other reasonable replacements from china/honk kong? something like nohon for example. I have no expierence with these problems. I want to buy a battery which will last at least 2 days on GSM (i can turn off the 3G network, and also turn down the brightness) And the last public question, which rom and android version is best suitable for long runs? Is it worth to underclock the procesor rate? THANK YOU VERY MUCH
[Desire Accessories] Nascor:
The battery I ordered arrived half a week ago, and after testing it out for a bit now, I can say:

There is definitly a noticable improvement, but it is probably not as big as you may wish or hope for. With 3G turned on all day and auto brightness, I can get to roughly one day without charging.

Another advantage is off course, that I have now one reserve battery.
[Desire Accessories] MidnightDevil:
Well, my Desire is about 1 year and 6 months old, and with GSM only (some calls during the day, but hardly 3g or wifi) lasts about 2 full days, which considering the time that I have it isn't bad at all. However if I'm going to play around with it, wifi and such, hardly lasts a day. It drains really fast when using Internet.

I've checked a few batteries online (ebay and such) but I find mostly for Desire *something*, not the desire itself.

How do you guys filter the results on ebay to find stuff only for the HTC desire model? Without the HD, S, yada yada?
[Desire Accessories] Nascor:
probably the easiest way is either searching for the exact battery model (eg for me it's BB99100) or also putting "Nexus One" into the search bar, which has the same battery specs (correct me if I'm wrong)
[Desire Accessories] BeatB:
Try to add htc bravo on the search bar
[Desire Accessories] buraas:
After testing some of the batteries that are obtainable through the internet, I believe that Mugen Power offers the best product, not just for Desire, but for other mobile and non-mobile devices as well.

mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/htc-desire/mugen-power-extended-battery-for-for-htc-desire-htc-bravo-htc-a8181-htc-epic-t-mobile-htc-desire-vodafone-htc-desire-1600mah

The price seems to be OK, however if you are from other parts of the world except USA you'll probably end up paying twice as much (shipping costs).
[Desire Accessories] lotrando77:
Man which rom are you using? Are you rooted? Tell us some specifications. I would be happy as horse to have a desire whicht lasts 2 days :D

And a reply to the mugen batteries, it seems to me that the shipping to Europe is free! So dont be affraid order this (proclaimed) good battery. I dont have so much money, i will probably choose the german solution.(PolarCell) :)
[Desire Accessories] Nascor:
after testing my new battery out for quite some time now, I have to say, that it lasts significantly longer than the "old" one. I get through one whole day, with 3G always on, easily....
[Desire Accessories] mortuus82:
interesting how much mah it actually gives? 44$ is high compared to thoose cheap fakes that perform worse then a old orginal battery..
[Desire Accessories] jblogger:
original batteries would always be better dude
[Desire Accessories] CtapukaH:
It seems there is no polarized opinion about what is the nicest battery with the best quality/price rate. Many are going for the Mugen option because it has most positive feedback, some are preferring the PolarCell because it would provide comparable performance without being pricey and most are buying Chinese crap 'cause they have no idea about the existence of this thread.

Well I've read a couple discussions here and there and made a conclusion for myself: if there is an option for a battery that's maybe a little less durable than the stock or Mugen ones, but costs much less, I don't see why I should pay an enormous difference to have 30 more minutes worth of wifi.

I'll will go for the PolarCell and will get back after I receive it and test it a bit.
[Desire Accessories] harakiri576:
FYI: Battery technology has practically not advanced in the last 4-5 years.

Meaning, if the original HTC battery could squeeze out 1300mAh, you are not going to get a 3rd party battery with anything over 1500mAh. If they try selling it to you, you know right away they are lying.

Cheap 3rd party batteries can be good, but do expect faster capacity degradation and problems with interfacing with the mobile (e.g. reported capacity/voltage/... incorrect, etc...). Just use common sense and check the reviews before buying.
[Desire Accessories] KhaledAbdo:
Hello all ..

I wanted to ask about Mugen Power batteryies; the ones with 3000+mAh and the extra back cover .. has anyone tried them ?

I mean, do they deliver as promised? do they keep at the same pace as new for a long time .. or do they die fast .. ? :(

also, there are some other batteries like this one .. is it the same as Mugen .. or way worse, given the price tag ?

thanks :)
[Desire Accessories] CtapukaH:
Ok, now I've been away for some time.

In the meanwhile I received the new battery (the PolarCell or Polar Cell). It was wrapped in transparent plastic and seemed pretty new, so I ripped it off and inserted it into the phone. It was about 50% capacity initially which seemed correct for a new battery in storage. I also wiped battery stats before changing it so that the system might learn about the new power source from scratch. It's been a couple of days since the charge % indicator has stabilized and I can make a conclusion about the performance thus far.

The first and maybe one of the most important things to notice about the Polar Cell is that it won't allow it's voltage being detected. It might lack the internal circuitry that corresponds to the function. So calibration and performance analysis is very difficult. The last week it's been discharging pretty fast. I wouldn't pretend it being a 1600 mAh as advertised. More like a 1200 mAh battery. If I'd have to compare it with my 2 year old OEM HTC battery, I'd say it performs slightly better, but doesn't feed the juice the OEM counterpart did 2 years ago. So a new OEM battery would definitely outperform our Polar Cell.

My personal opinion is that the battery is a low end alternative to the more expensive Mugen and Genuine HTC variants. But it's well worth the money I've paid for it (about 13 euros).

ieconta wallace

I bought a 'Forever' battery about a year ago, said it's 1500, probably is ~1400, is a little thicker than the original one, but still fits well with the stock back cover. I've been using it as a backup every couple of days, bought it dirt cheap for something like 15 euros. Money well spent.
[Desire Accessories] TechNick.Max:
I bought a battery aoonen 1800mA. Slightly thicker than a standard battery. The charge keeps subjectively a bit longer than the standard battery which is already 2 years but is being charged for a bit longer. The battery is well calibrated, spends the charge evenly. His price for an excellent replacement HTC standard battery. Recommend
[Desire Accessories] Bravo G7:
I purchased a 'Gold' 2430mAh battery from eBay for about 7 pounds. Have to say the battery is very good at lasting compared to the original HTC. I have had some problems before when the phone would sometimes not recognise the battery and the battery icon on the top corner would turn grey with an exclamation mark. But its fine once I take the battery out and put it back in. Sometimes the charge tends to drop very quickly but then this is countered by a very slow drop as well. maybe a calibration issue there? Been using it for 5 months and originally purchased it as a spare for my old battery but I know use it as my main battery and works great!
[Desire Accessories] Doc8er:
I ended up getting two spares batteries, one supposedly a high capacity. Change them monthly but had stopped using my Desire. Now I've found people have kept up with custom ROMs, going to look at upgrading it and maybe using it more.
[Desire Accessories] lucassoxda:
How long your charge last, guys?
[Desire Accessories] zaflaucich:
much less than a day if just trying to play with some "heavy" software like car navigator.

by the way, do you guys confirm that original dimension batteries have one single capacity size?

In other words, if you want more capacity do you have to deal with bigger batteries?
[Desire Accessories] I_Am_Jacob:
about two days. Im using Mildwild 5.0 rom. it's the best. really
[Desire Accessories] freebird24h:
My personal favorite for battery life is mildwild gb-1, the one based on solstice by dlaszlo. It has a special option to force slow charging on any charger. Li ion batteries hold charge better when you apply lower voltage to them.
[Desire Accessories] CtapukaH:
Yes, I guess this is an issue most cheap batteries are prone to exhibit.

This is true. Most batteries nowadays are pretty much the same capacity when occupying identical volumes. This is due to technology limitations. To be precise, it is possible to manufacture batteries which would have a couple of times the capacity we see today advertised, but it would not be feasible economically, as it would cost too much compared to the advantage in terms of power.
[Desire Accessories] Dooxed:
Where did you get it?

[Desire Accessories] Saf98:
I don't think so cos all of them are going to be fake you can buy a mugen 1600mah battery which lasts longer or just and original HTC battery.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Hello I just ordered a xoom as they have recently been reduced and should receive next week. (it will be a UK 32gb wifi)

I want to root my device so I can overclock and install adblock but I was wondering if I should GEDify my xoom or install a custom rom.

My question is what do you do and why?

Also is it even possible to GEDify a device and keep root (e.g. still receive updates from google)

Any advice much appreciated.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
In my opinion, the Team EOS ICS Roms---for your wifi it would be wingray--are superior to stock ICS that is currently available (or will ever be available). The nightly build I have installed now, wingray build #44 with the Eos GApps v 10.3, is super stable, super complete and super functional. 100% recommended.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Thanks okantomi,

I'm definitely going to do this.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr1vate piles:
Agree with this 100%. My xoom is coming in the next day or so (same spec as the op's) and i have been following the team eos thread daily. The minute i have the xoom ill be installing their ics room and overclocking. From what everyone has said it takes the xoom to the next level.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
I completely agree. These Team EOS Roms are very stable and work perfectly. Give it a try, you can always go back to stock if you want to. I just highly doubt you will want to ;)

Is there in the meantime a EOS rom, which have a functional 3G + GPS ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
So far there is a 3G cdma version but the Euro 3G version has not been developed yet. All Eos versions have working GPS.

Update: now the stingray everest umits build is available for the UK/Euro 3G Xooms.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mthii:
I just got a Xoom (US WiFi) and have tried every ICS Rom and EOS is so far the best. But I can't tell you how great it is when OC'd. Never OC'd before on any device cuz I am still a newb with that. Flashing rooms and backups/restores are easy enough now but for some reason messing with a CPU freaks me out. Like a freshman taking batting practice with the varsity...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
If you're interested in OC'ing just take it slow. First thing is do not select "set on boot." You want to make sure it can handle what you're clocking it to before you do something like that.

Anyway, taking it slow. OC it just a bit and play something like Angry Birds. Next, throw in some multitasking. Swap from angry birds to a movie. Now turn it back down to the stock settings and do the same thing. You'll see a difference pretty fast even on the lower OC settings.
