Well, I've received my Anker 1600mah battery.

Since it doesn't claim the world, I'm thinking it might actually be true (unlike the Seidio or Mugen "1900mah" batteries that end up only 1300mah).

Even if it's just 1300mah, the price is right =)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ahilliard:
Can you post any "Better battery stats" logs or verify how much capacity it actually has?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ChronoReverse:
Interestingly enough, I have some records from the tests I've been running this weekend. This battery has been surprisingly decent considering I only expected 1300mah (from the advertised 1600mah) out of it.

ILWT 285
1.5GHz Performance
Airplane Mode
Minimum brightness
MX Player SW Fast
Stretch Mute

Battery discharged to 89% before recharging back to 100% waiting for the trickle recharge to stop before starting video and unplugging. Device running until 15% warning which is dismissed and then run until device auto shuts off.

Anker - Claimed 1600mah
375minutes
~250ma
1562mah
97.6%

HTC OEM 1300mah (1.5 years old)
274minutes
~250ma
1141mah
87.8%

I also ran another test with slightly different settings (which meant it couldn't be compared) where the average drain was 300ma:

319minutes

~300ma

1595mah

99.7%

The test is as consistent as I could make it since I only have my phone to discharge the battery with.

With that said, I have heard some non-OEM batteries lose their capacities faster than the OEM ones. I plan to do this test again at the 1 year mark.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] prototype2:
I haven't tried those "OEM" batteries before but I've heard a lot of good reports on the "MUGEN" ones. Supposedly, if you follow the instructions, it'll function as it's suppose to (meaning it'll last long).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tarroyo:
That's what I heard as well but some people beg to differ.

I'd recommend anyone looking for a extended battery to get a EVO Design 4G battery! It fits in our device perfectly at 1520 mah A BIG JUMP from our 1300 mah stock oem batteries.

Most if not all 'after market' batteries die out quicker and don't live up to the battery life that there claiming to. . .

Here's a few tests that were run on all batteries (stock and after market) and HTC's stock batteries performed the best giving the mah and battery life that they claimed to

Wait, so that EVO Design 4G battery will definitely fit within our devices? If so, i will actually consider getting that! Thanks for posting that!

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Myrmidon83:
Hey gang,

Just to chime in that I've been using one of those Anker 1600mAh batteries for a few months now and have noticed an increase in battery life. I'd recommend one of these.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] magic_android:
Wow thank you for that, i'm gonna see where i can order this from now :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
Just ordered one of these from Amazon this morning. I'll let everyone know what I think about it once I receive it and have used it for a while.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] shadowx360:
Yep, the OEM one is 1300 mAh. I've seen some people use the 1800 mAh extended batteries for their G2 and it worked out fine, though I was told that the heat from the charging was pretty bad (2 hours to charge) so they had to open up their back cover so it'll cool faster.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] prototype2:
They are okay if you're looking for "extra" batteries. I got three of them with a charger for 10$. Its a slightly weaker than stock but for 10$, can't complain. Its always nice to have extra batteries with you on the go if there is no outlet around.
[Thunderbolt General] rvnwlfdroid:
Has anyone put together a list of what roms need what radio to go with it? I know a lot of people list what's needed but some don't. Is there a rule of thumb that falls into play?
[Thunderbolt General] dragonsamus:
There's one floating around with all the radios. A general rule of thumb is gingerbread roms use the MR2 radio and newer. Hope that helps.
[Thunderbolt General] Turd Furguson:
Can't go wrong with MR2. It was the 2nd radio released and has worked with everything out there.
[Thunderbolt General] rvnwlfdroid:
Backup

Thanks for the reply.

One other thing on my mind is. Currently I'm still running the stock radio. If I create a backup using rom manager before putting the new radio on. Will the restore bring back the old radio as well? Or would that have to be done manually? I'm not sure exactly what gets backed up.
[Thunderbolt General] Turd Furguson:
Someone already answered you No in another thread. But I will answer here also in case of some Guests who are viewing looking for an answer.

You have to flash it each time you want to change the radio. It is a separate file must be flashed when you want a change. ROM Manager will not restore radios.

I've installed ES File Explorer on my Prime under the impression it will let me browse my shared files and folders on my laptop. So I go to the 'LAN Shares' page in ES and run a scan. My laptop shows up, but when I click on it I get the error 'Login failure. Try new user name/password?' Thing is, I don't have a password on my laptop... so how do I get around this?

Also, on Windows 7 how do I make sure I'm properly set-up for file sharing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] danam:
I think you just right click on c or your doc folder and you see sharing options. ES is working great for me. I do believe you have to make the computer open to the world, so remember to stop sharing if it is a laptop you take away from home.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PuroKaibil:
when on the main ES explorer screen...

1. swipe your finger to the left..

2. add a "server" in this case your PC IP address with user/passwd if needed

3. if any shares are available on your PC they will get listed right away...

hope it helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] breakshift:
Yes I've done that, but my problem is that I don't have a username or password on my laptop but ES keeps asking for it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] traxxus:
Create a user on the laptop called share with the password share or something.

Then give the diesired folder access-rights to this user.

done
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] breakshift:
Well yes but I'd rather not have to put a password in everytime I boot windows. There must be a way to get this working without having to set up a user account in windows...?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PuroKaibil:
How did u created the shares?

Is the "everyone" group listed as having access rights on the "Shared" folders you're sharing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
I don't think you understand. Your username is literally your user name. It's your user account. If you don't have a password for your user account, you still need to enter the "login name" for your user account whether it be the default "Administrator" or "User" and leave the password field empty.

My user name in Windows is buymecar. My login password is ilovexda. You get where I'm going with this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fuzzer:
make sure you turn off password protection for shares in...

but you can always set a password, and set window to auto login buy running "control userpasswords2"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PuroKaibil:
Right.... and make sure that "Anonymous" has rights to access the shares. That will be under your Local Policy settings if you want to go that deep.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] breakshift:
Okay got it working, thanks for the help guys. The problem was that all my media is on an external hard drive. In case anyone else has this problem and stumbles upon this thread, here's what I did:

1. Right clicked the external hdd and went to sharing tab. At the bottom it said that I had password protection on, so I followed the instructions there to disable it.

2. The 'Share' button in the sharing tab was greyed out so I had to go into advanced sharing and check 'Share this folder'.

3. I then went into the security tab of the properties pane and gave my user account all permissions. My user account is the only account and therefore has admin rights, so I don't know why I had to do this.

4. I then created a new username called 'everyone', and gave it all permissions.

5. Clicked okay and close, and I could then access it via ES on my prime.

The reason I didn't mention the hdd in the OP is because at that point I couldn't access the laptop at all. Once I did the above everything worked. I think having password protection on was preventing me from getting into my laptop at all, as I don't have any passwords in windows.

Thanks for the help! I now have access to all my media on my prime. Good times.

EDIT. Turns out the username 'everyone' doesn't need all permissions. I didn't like the idea of 'everyone' having full control over my hdd so I changed the permissions to just allow reading and writing, no modifying etc. Still works.

What kind of data transfer rates are normal for transfer between two wireless devices? Wireless G that is. Both devices are very close to the router. I should be able to stream 720p video comfortably right? But it doesn't seem to keep up.

Is there a way of testing this speed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nattylite:
streaming 720p on prime tablet over wifi G

Glad you figured it out. I just saw this and was just about to walk you through it

There is currently no tablet app that I know of that test speed (wifi analyzers scan wifi signal strength) but speedtest app can test you internet connection. For local speed, you can transfer a big file and look at the transfer rate. Ideally, the between 1-2 meters away for the router is the best.

"When testing throughput do it ~1 meter from the AP and test between a wireless client and a wired client. Doing it far away/behind walls/downstairs/etc will have reduced rates and is a different problem to solve. Being extremely close can lower performance by overloading the receiver" -dd-wrt.com

Wireless G is 54 Mbits/s but real world test is ~22 Mbits/s down and ~2.5 Mbit/s....720p streams at 2.5 Mbit/s (for VC-1 and lower formats) up to 5Mbit/s (for H.264 and better quality formats) so it depends on a lot of things. Short answer yes. BUT if you source is on wifi too rather than LAN then there is a high chance that it won't be smooth. Also depending on whether you are the only one connected, the router brand, how good your source is, etc. 720p on 802.11g is hit and miss (mostly miss) so consider a wireless N 300M/bits router

All this can be found on google (feel free to correct me) and please click THANKS if this helped you. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] breakshift:
That makes a lot of sense. The file I've been using is a high quality .mkv file, so that's probably the issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robtheslob:
google is great, here are some good resources for a beginner:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/share-files-and-printers-between-windows-7-and-xp/

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/7412-guest-account-turn-off.html

If you do use a password ES has problems with non alphanumeric characters sometimes.

ES gives access to network shares by buffering the files via an internal webserver, this means it significantly reduces performance. If you want to watch HD mkv's I would recommend using CifsManager:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442928&highlight=cifsmanager

I use it with MX player or Dice and have no issues watching 1080 mkv movies over wireless g if I'm not too far from the access point.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

As a note "not to far" is roughly upto about 35 feet for G or 50 for N for me with 1080.

Even if you move to wireless N, ES file explorer will not perform as well as CifsManager with HD videos.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Never share your OS drive. Just share a folder(s) that are on your OS drive. Give anonymous access to these particular folders, so when any client that looks for shared folders they will see these folders there. Shouldn't have to input any log in information at all.

breakshift, I am trying also to access my external hdd on my Prime. I followed your steps, but still cannot determine the correct username and password combination. What did you end up using?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] breakshift:
Well since I did what I described in that post, it all works. Are you able to connect to the computer at all? Or is it just when you try to go into the HDD it refuses you?

ES doesn't ask for a username or password at all for me anymore. Does it prompt you for that info? If so, do you have a password set up on your user account on your computer?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cloud1111:
When I try to watch videos using es file explorer on mg galaxy s2, sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't. If I restart my desktop pc, it will work for about half an hour then fail to login again.

This is what I'm always getting, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B90aBBkpJZ8tS3NINU9fbDBDUzA/edit would appreciate it someone can help.

I'm using windows 7 pro 64bit

Everyone else in my family can stream the shared files with their windows laptop.

After restarting my computer(the pc with the shared files), my brother and I can stream for about 30 minutes, then I have to restart my pc again.

I have a password on my pc, but even when I put it in the edit server options it still doesn't work. I'm thinking it may be a firewall or router setting?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jlalisan82:
Mine is the AT&T one. Yeah, simple mobile said if it's not supported then it will only work with EDGE. I wish there's another way of 'tricking' the network that you have the band that they support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
So you think you should be able to trick the network into thinking you have hardware that you don't? For what purpose? I mean you still wouldn't have the physical hardware required.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
LOL.

dude, you are trying to figure out a way to trick the network into seeing something THE PHONE DOESNT HAVE, which is HARDWARE to support the frequencies...

so lets throw some logic in this shall we?

EVEN if you could trick the network into thinking you had the hardware, your HARDWARE wouldnt be able to utilize the network speeds......so what would the purpose be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
That's like putting on a costume that gives you four arms. The extra arms might appear but they don't do anything :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
What? Simple Mobile is a T Mobile virtual network operator reseller. They are in no way affiliated with AT&T or do they support AT&T frequencies. No wonder you're trying to "trick" the network into thinking its a different phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
It wasn't just a question, it was a seriously stupid question. Like asking if there's a pair of glasses you can wear that will make a Prius look like a Corvette. Sorry, but it just isn't possible. You can't spoof the network into thinking your phone has hardware it doesn't. Are you getting that yet?:confused:

The Republic Wireless version of the LG Optimus S has been around for a little bit now. I snagged a System dump and the boot.img from mine in the hopes that it would somehow be useful.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3825646/boot.img

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3825646/system.tgz

The team at Republic Wireless use a heavily modified version of CyanogenMod to make their VoIP service work. Maybe this could be useful to anyone looking to see how they did it, since as far as I know the RW devs never floated any of their work back upstream.

You might want to also cross post Android Central Optimus S forum thread. That's where I have seen the most ROMS and development for the Optimus S at.

Has anyone else experienced a decent bit of lag while watching shows over netflix? It's not connection based since my line is 150mbps, and clocking it to 1.2GHz from stock didn't change anything either.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Could just be Netflix itself lagging, or a problem with your service provider. Just because they claim 150 Mbps doesn't mean you'll always get it.

On my device, Netflix usually bounces between 800 MHz and 1 GHz (Netflix apparently does not support hardware decoding... :( )
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lesdense:
Yes, I had the same problem - Netflix audio slightly out of sync. I tested on other devices and determined it was NOT the video source or data stream (no sync problem with other devices viewing same videos using same Internet stream at same time). I installed Tegrak overclock and pumped clock speed up one step (1.1 from 1.0). That solved the Netflix sync problem and hasn't had any negative effect I could detect on my SGP5. I set Negrak to add that slight overclock at boot. So far so good.

Cell Standby has nothing to do with battery drain. That 46% is kind of measure to be 100%, so it's not the main problem. You should check it with some utility to help, such as BetterBatteryStats.
