100% fake, these gold batteries are total ****e.

2400mAh battery on current Li-ion or polymer technology would have to be almost twice the size of standard cell.

Any newer technology high power dencity cell will be 8 times the price of that & for sure would not be available via CrimeBay first.

best standard size replacement cells are Andida & Tekcomm on performance/price scale.

The HTC, CS & Mugen oversized cells only just manage 2400mAh & quality grade product will be more than 12 bucks.

if i was you, I would just get one with an extended battery,not a slim one, dont use the cover and buy an soft silicone case for it

thats how i use mine and i have no complaints, i bought a extended battery and i use my slim as a back up, which i never really have to use

check this one out it on ebay cost 9 dollars it says its an 3500mah and they are in the U.S.A

http://www.ebay.com/itm/110772104151?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
[HD2 Accessories] htccraze:
Well if you still end up buying it which i personally would suggest not to and you find its not what it says it is you can always

open a case against them for it not being as described. Make sure you test it with a good battery app from the market to see

whether your gettings the full mah that is advertised.
[HD2 Accessories] TomONeill:
Even if it is real, you should know that you can't charge it directly. You have to take out the battery and charge it with a special charger.
[HD2 Accessories] anhyeuemmaimai:
OEM battery from HTC is $7 on Amazon.....i bought 2 and called it a day
[HD2 Accessories] htccraze:
I bought two and a wall charger as well i found on ebay for about $9 + free shipping (from China). I will admit i was a bit dissatisfied at

first because it said it was 1350mah and when i tested it it was only 1250mah. Still i have not had a single problem with them and have only

noticed it charges

ever so slightly slower

then the oem one. The fact i can have one on the base charging, one in the phone as well

as a backup to bring with me when/if it dies is a great convenience and definitely worth the $9 i spent.
[HD2 Accessories] Mister B:
for the money it is a good option.

I done same & bought an Andida & universal off-board charger. Got bored of changing batt & rebooting so went with a AA powered usb power-pack fitted with Hybrio rechargable & modified to support AC fast charge, works well & still have the Andida as extra emergency when on long travels or need cell fully charged but don't have time to charge it ...

Some of the low cost large size & capacity cells with new battery cover are good option if you don't mind the big lump in your slim device.
[HD2 Accessories] Dev!n:
its even possible, but not for that price. dont trust em, buy originals.
[HD2 Accessories] hengsheng120:
The size is usually at least directly proportional to the energy in the same type of battery. It's not physically possible, not until 2020, when MgIon batteries could be produced. And you can bet those are gonna be hella expensive if it comes out. It's been tested that for most phone usually OEM batteries are more efficient at energy/$.
[HD2 Accessories] sphp:
There's no battery on the market having this capacity at this size. It's not possible - maybe in a few years, but NOT now.
[HD2 Accessories] ilgreco112:
My cousin bought a gold battery for HTC chacha for 15$ 2540mah, same size as original 1250mah... no problems, can last 1week without problem,

[HD2 Accessories] Mister B:
more than luck, that battery been blessed or sprinkled in magic dust ...

[HD2 Accessories] cosmosmoss:
I've got one of these gold ones. Seems to last just the same as any other battery. Probably not genuine, but it's not any worse or any better than other ones. Don't know how to test the mah properly though.
[HD2 Accessories] retsam88:
Those batteries should be banned - they are counterfeit and lies about actual capacity. Whats more, they are very dangerous to use - have fun with self-combustible cell.
[HD2 Accessories] Mister B:
As above & as I have stated over & over> golds,blues etc are 100% 5h1te with inflated prices & 99% of so claimed originals are 110% fake.

Only ones we have used with reasonable results based on purchase cost, capacity close to OEM & good lifespan are Andida, Feipusi & Tekcom.

These between 4to7USD are ok & have used over 30 Andida cells for HD2s (without 1 fault), a N97mini & HTC T5353 for more than 15months without issues. Feipusi been ok too.

Tekcom are best but hard to find easily.

Standard size with high capacity are simply not available ...
[HD2 Accessories] junior2012:
EBay is a complex place to buy products, so you should pay much more attention to buy your wanted battery, many after market and copy products on Ebay.

Hi all... iv really been enjoying playing kino der toten recently, love the map and the shooting endless zombies, crawlers and hell hounds...

I was wondering how dificult it would be to make a zombie survival game based on this map and features... ie pack a punch, teleporter, box and perks... seeing as it would only be the 1 map and same foes approaching just multiplied each round, i think its plausable... are therr any game engines on android that can be adapted for this task?

Basically i would like this as true 2 the real game as possible...

So yes, how likely is something like this 2 happen?

Is there any1 willing to have a go?

I think it would be very sought after if it was to work well as its big onlinr...

[HTC Sensation XL] LiverpoolsNo9:
I got a Sensation XL that is/was locked to Vodaphone. I already have the unlock code for it, but for whatever reason the dialog box to put in the code doesnt come up. The sim works in my other phone no problem so I know that is ok.

Heres the strange thing....my mobile internet from giffgaff is working, even though it shows no signal, but the phone is coming up as emergency only for calls. (Its NOT wifi that is active, I'm actually getting mobile internet.)

Any thoughts?

The bootloader is now unlocked, and a custom rom on there. Still no joy. The phone is showing emergency only on the dialer.

EDIT: Been digging around and the CID is VODA001, so it looks like the sim is fine, its something in the code thats locked to Vodaphone, so while the mobile internet is working, the phone isnt.

Right, ive noticed a few prople have had similar problems but nothing that is the same as what im am experiencing.

basically, about 6 weeks ago i flashed the Alien v4 rom (wanted to retain webtop else i would have chosen cm7). this has worked flawlessy till now. Ive suddenly started having issues with wifi and data connectivity.

When connected to wifi i get internet access for aropund 2>10 minutes. then i lose it, although my phone still says im connected to the network. When i turn off the wifi, i check the wireless setting and it says that mobile networks are not connnected. when this happens, the data icon in the task bar is grey not green, ive noticed i only get a connection when its green.

I had the same problem before, a few months ago. Think it was just an issue with the ROM I was using. Have you tried a different ROM?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkodrive:
Not yet, will be when i get home. I was under the assumption however that alien was the best (webtop rom) in terms of speed and stability
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nthon9:
Just backup your ROM in recovery - try out as many ROMs as you'd like to try. You might find one that both resolves your problem and suits you better, and as long as you have that backup you can just jump straight back in where you left off with your current ROM.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkodrive:
I have a backup anyway. Always make one once I know a rpm works after flashing. Been flashing for too long with many a handset to not keep backups. Ive learned the hardway with this haha

bought sidekick sght839 from friend and it worked fine b4 doing reset. now, when it starts, the tutorial comes up on home screen and can`t press arrow to proceed to next page. firmware 2.2.1-kernal 2.6.32.9-build froyo uvkj2. the wireless works and connects to internet fine. can`t use phone as 456 keys dont work and worked b4. can change settings OK. have rooted it. still doesnt want to work as b4. am new here so if someone could let me know if they have any ideas, I would appreciate it. am also new to android phones. I cant find heimdall file to download. Know how to set phone to download and use Odin but cant find proper files online.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] DarksiderzSK4G:
Use the search bar on XDA to search for the kj2 stock Odin files, follow the directions given closely, download them, make sure you have the correct drivers so that Odin recognizes your phone, then boot into download mode using the method found in the forums, just do a quick search for download mode. You should have everything operational after download from Odin is finished, hope this helps

I have tried numerous times to install Odin but all I get is unregistered device...that is as far as it goes. Dont know how to get around that. 456 keys also work then dont work otherwise the phone works fine as far as internet and making calls goes. Crazy device!

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
if you havent reflashed your firmware yet, i have a suggestion. install clockworkmod recovery. there is a thread in the sk4g development section of this website. the title is something like cwm for the sk4g. enjoy! so look for that and follow the instructions in the first post of that thread. make sure you grab the update.zip file from that thread and do not flash cwm through rom manager. trust me on this. after you have followed the instructions in that thread, boot into cwm (boot into stock recovery and select reinstall packages. you should then boot into cwm recovery), select advanced, and then select fix permissions. when it finishes, it will say done. reboot your device and see if any of the problems have been fixed. i did this and it stopped my phone from randomly rebooting every 15 to 30 minutes. it might fix the problems on your device. if not, i would move to the next step, reflashing the firmware. flash the kj2 build and then learn how to remove bloatware. kj2 is less buggy to start with. still buggy, but less buggy than KD1, KG2, or the other version (KI2?). if you reflash firmware, you will need to re-root in order to remove bloatware. removing bloatware is key for optimal performance with the stock firmware. you can also flash a custom rom if you wish. most of the custom roms on this site have minimal bloatware, so if you wish to go that route, bloatware shouldnt be much of an issue. i personally am on the stock firmware and dont suggest flashing roms for someone so new to android. but if you feel confident enough, thats your decision. i also suggest booting into cwm and running fix permissions after removing bloatware. i theorize that removing system apps causes permissions errors similar to registry errors in windows.

some success with sk4g

don`t know how or why but I got frustrated with the phone and threw it in the trash on top of coffee grounds...changed my mind and pulled it out and cleaned it and charged it and...voila...it worked. banged it against the sink a couple times. weird! so, now I am trying to install custom rom and keep running into everification error when I try to flash. 456 buttons still dont work and cant take a video with it but it will probably work better if I can find a work-around for these errors I get. I am on a mission now and I cant give up. Hope someone can help me. I think there may be hope for this thing. Thanks for whatever help I can get.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
i told you, install clockworkmod and fix permissions. it will probably fix the problems you are having. if you choose not to listen, thats. your choice. but my advice will probably help you without having to through the pain in the rear of reflashing the firmware. reflashing the firmware itself isnt really that difficult, but once you do it, your back to square one with your device. starting from scratch is the frustrating part. i bricked my phone and had to reflash, and it took me a couple weeks to get the phone where i needed it again. im staying on the stock firmware for this reason.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
how does one fix permissions

OK OK dont yell. How do I fix permissions? Newbie on board here so I need a little more help than the rest. I dont necessarily want to do the rom thing myself. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
copy and paste this into your browser: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124453 and follow the instructions in the first post. after you have followed those instructions, boot into recovery mode. the stock recovery will apear. scroll down and select reinstall packages. the clockworkmod recovery should boot up. the text in the screen will be orange. scroll down and select advanced. scroll down again and select fix permissions. when it finishes, it will say done. reboot your device and see if you have any of the issues you were having. i am not guaranteeing this will fix the issues, but i think it might. if it doesnt, my next suggestion will be reflashing the stock firmware. but try this and post back when finished and let me know if it works.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
sk4g problem

didnt work. did exactly what you said and no go. any other suggestions. it works so well for some things like wifi and calling except 456 buttons on and off. it is funky indeed. thanks for the help also, cant take video or manage photo or use front camera as the left side button to choose options doesnt work either. seems like something is up with the rom. cant install anything from samsung or tmobile as it is an unregistered phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
were you able to boot into clockworkmod recovery?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
boot up

yes I did.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
then you need to reflash your firmware. you need odin, you need the samsung vibrant drivers, and you need the firmware files. do a search on odin in the dev thread for this device and you should be able to find everything you need, including instructions.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:

have the drivers, have odin and have tried that too. that didnt work as the phone is unregistered and not recognized. it is used and I cant register it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
on your phone, go to settings>about phone and scroll down to where it says baseband version. the last 3 characters under that will say either kd1, kg2, or kj2. if its not kj2, then i have a suggestion for you. but post back and lmk.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
phone setting

it is kj2. now what? this is all confusing as it has been updated I believe by previous owner. thanks for your time. i am going to try the odin method again. i first did it on a 64bit puter with windows 7 so i can try it on my 32bit machine. have read that sometimes odin doesnt work well on 64bit. am willing to try anything. will let you know. thanks again. cant get the stock rom download anywhere. will just try flashing custom rom.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
you cant odin a custom rom unless the dev makes an odin file, which they usually dont. you have to flash through clockworkmod. you can head over to the dev section and pick from many roms that are listed. follow the developers instructions for flashing very carefully or you will brick your device.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
Thanks for advice.

I know I can`t odin a custom rom. I can`t seem to odin anything on this machine. I have cwm and have tried using it to flash a rom but I keep getting everification and such error msgs. Gonna let it sit for awhile and think about this. I have the update.zip file on sdcard but can`t seem to get that to install no matter what I do. Very puzzling deal. Thanks anyway for your help.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
do you have android sdk installed on your computer? google it and install it, then try odin again.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
got sdk

sdk installed and will try odin again...seems a little more complicated than the last time I tried...will google a bit more on this. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
Ever considered those buttons are simply broken?

Sounds more like hardware issues than software... Never heard of problems like this for this phone. Maybe banging the phone caused more damage?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
i thought about that too, but he said the phone started malfunctioning after a factory reset. plus, since the dialer is touchscreen, i would think the issue would happen all the time, not just in the dialer. i think its a firmware issue. i had issues after a factory reset as well. my radio was bricked after a factory reset once.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
Hmm... That's interesting...

I suggest using Heimdall to factory reset though, that was the only thing that succeeded in recovering my phone from a soft-brick.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
yeah i used odin when my phone was bricked. i wanted to try helmdall first, but couldnt get it to run on my pc. odin worked good enough though. but this phone does have a lot of weird issues. i was having issues with my sd card removing itself randomly. deleted the stock browser, and the problem went away.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
sk4g

When I originally got the phone from a friend, all worked except the camera and video functions-didnt check them. The 456 on dialer worked fine until we reset it. I believe it is a firmware problem. All else works fine-can navigate all over the phone using the touch screen. I will check out the Heimdall or whatever it is and see what the heck is going on. May just try flashing a rom if I can get rid of the everification problem. Thanks for all the ideas. Good place to come for ideas.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
Banging the phone made it more usable...b4 I couldnt get out of main screen.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
do another factory reset and remove your sd card before resetting. then go through the setup wizard. (hint: setup wizard doesnt work in landscape mode, it only works in portrait mode) do that and post back. if that doesnt work, i suggest you throw it in the trash and get a phone that you can use easier.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] linhans:
no throw away

As long as most of the functions work, I checked the android market and found a camcorder app, a camera app and a voice dialer that work. That`s all I need. All free apps. Thanks for the help.
