[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Recruiter1:
I think i might have found somewhere in China...

Battery - BG41200

3.7v - 4000mAh

If the prices were cheap enough how many of you would be interested in buying a battery for your Flyer.

Perhaps do a group buy?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] poope:
i thought flyers battery is not user replaceable?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Recruiter1:
It's very replaceable and easy to do.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] VeryRisky:
I'm going to have to look at getting a new battery sooner or later. It's getting to the point hat the battery is always running low by the time I get home in the evening or even running out. With pretty much the same use it used to be good for a day and a half easily. Flyer was purchase may or june 2011 so it really needs to last another 16 months or so.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Recruiter1:
Well......I ask again. If anyone knows of where to buy an internal Flyer battery please post a linky.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dbow32:
I posted this thread earlier today

"I just wanted to know what people are getting out of their batteries. I unplug mine around 7:30 am when i leave for work. When I get to work i turn on my wifi (rooted thunderbolt) and leave that on all day. I have the setting to turn wifi off (flyer) when screen is off. When I get home around 5:30 i switch to my home network and by 8-10 my battery is pretty much gone. Is this normal battery life or are there any tricks I'm not aware of that will help with battery. My wife has an Ipad 1 and she seems to get days of use out of it before she needs to charge it.

Also, I don't watch movies or video at work... most of my use is surfing, twitter and email."

I'm trying to figure out if what is normal battery life and If mine came with a bad battery. If so Yes I would be interested in getting a new one.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Recruiter1:
The Ipad battery has much longer life and is a much bigger capacity battery. The new HTC Jetstream also has a much bigger capacity battery as well. I think HTC have learned lessons on how much battery power these flyers use, but unfortunately have used Flyer owners as guinea pigs, rather like the first Apple iPhone but that had terrible battery issues as well although they've gotten better over time.

When my Flyer was brand new the battery lasted for ages and i couldn't understand what people were on about the battery not lasting for very long. So up until a few weeks ago my battery was doing fine and then almost within a day or two the battery started to run down quickly and has been doing so ever since. I've since loaded/unloaded new ROMS and done all the usual procedures for deleting the battery stats etc..., and still no joy.

I think the problem is with the battery not being man enough for the job at 4000mAh, and the drain is such that the battery is being worked hard since September last year (in my case) to a point where it is now progressively failing. I'm not so sure either that it's all that good in terms of quality.

Most of that time it has been charging from one source or another. If my Flyer isn't in the car or in the house it's not often being used battery only unlike most other people probably use the battery only a lot, so i can't understand why the battery is failing when it's not even that old.

This is a big issue with the Flyer and for what the device cost i would have expected a lot better. I think the Flyer in itself is a fantastic piece of kit that i will no doubt keep for a very long time as i did my XDA IIi but i never had problems buying another battery for my IIi. HTC will not sell me a battery, they insist i send the device to them and they will swap it but will cost about £50-£60 for the pleasure. I flatly refuse to pay that!!

What is required is a bigger capacity battery (6000-8000mAh) in the same packaging as the current battery however, i think for now i would happily settle for another of the same battery if i could just get hold of one.

So far it's proving an impossible task!!

Just to add: Once you've made sure there aren't apps being opened at startup that don't need to be opened until you're ready to use them, also make sure wifi/bluetooth, mobile data is all off when not required, and all the usual tweakes to make sure animations are off, screen is on the lowest brightness etc..., then there is not a lot more you can do. I don't know how much use something like Juice Defender will be as that only makes sure your data connections are off at night and other times you specify. I've tried it and it didn't help at all so i don't know what else to suggest apart from turning the radio part of the phone off completely at night if it isn't on charge.

If i leave my phone off charge all night, having fully charged first, i wake up in the morning and it's down to around 86-88% battery.

My question is simply: do people using an HTC phone enjoy all that it has to offer or do you like other phones like samsung or lg more?
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
There's alot of HTC users here...so don't kill me of what I think about HTC :p... I have HTC but don't like the soft ware on them, some phones feel kinda cheap...my first and last HTC phone, I would buy again if they take away sense roms, HTC comes out with phones like every 5 min...or is it 6? I like LG and Samsung better
[General Questions and Answers] KaFrEEkAbOom:
Well I agreed with Android311 People nowadays are moving from HTC to Samsung

Itz because their failures .They Are looking on Quick profits . So they Launched Lot of devices in a one quarter. And there arn't any proper Flagship (First i thought their flagship device is Sensation And then they released Sensation XE and Sensation XL)

And Also HTC arn't working on Updating process of their old devices (Such As DHD)
[General Questions and Answers] The-Captain:
I had an HTC Incredible until I changed to a Droid 3. I never regret it, I had nothing against it, but my Droid 3 seems higher quality. Since I always change to CM, software didn't make a difference.
[General Questions and Answers] grateful head:
I have motorola atrix for a year now and very satisfied with it. I have also used HTC and samsung phones, Samsung devices are much better than HTC.
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Yes are right, quick profits, when I see a company making or trying to make quick profits they are setting themselves up for failure all they want is money asap, companys like LG or Samsung make phones with quality, sure they may not be making money as fast as htc but they have long term customers who are loyal to the brand wich is the key to a bussiness....

[General Questions and Answers] det1988:
i agree with most people here HTC software is made just to last until their next phone comes out. their phones look nice but quickly begin to lag and freeze i prefer LG ever since i used an LG G2X
[General Questions and Answers] MindlessLeadership:
HTC spend time making and designing their phones to make sure their users have a good experience, where as Samsung pop one out every day. Thats my opinion.
[General Questions and Answers] iansen94:
Since I got my first HTC (touch dual) i felt very impressed, but the last HTC i purchased, the HD MINI(photon) was pretty limited by the WM6.5 version, which had no apps in comparison to the Android market.

Then HTC started to sell phones with androidSO and must say they're pretty impressive(not like the GalaxySII).
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
I respect your opinion, its backwards, HTC pops one out everyday and Samsung spends time making and desinging there phones, Samsung does have a lot of phones, but Samsung has better quality and alot more reliable

In terms of user interface, HTC is the best while in terms of hardware performance Samsung is better.
[General Questions and Answers] skybluerock:
Im using a HTC phone, but i think samsung phones are much better in term of quality and stability.

But HTC is a lot more creative compared to samsung.. Sense is like the best invented UI ever...

I hope that HTC can improve on their quality and stability..
[General Questions and Answers] grateful head:
Samsung phones are best. HTC phones are nowhere near.
[General Questions and Answers] dbutun:
The HTC feels like a much better phone, unlike the Samsungs that can feel a bit plastic.

Sense is a difficult topic, at the sacrifice of performance for what HTC view as a better interface, its very subjective. It also means slower updates and they still launch way too many devices.
[General Questions and Answers] moh129:
Htc phones are very good phones indeed.To me their type of phones is like targeted to higher upper people kind type.While Samsung even though its still using plastic still capture the simplistic shape and figure of a phone.

Hi

Having some physical AZERTY keyboard issues with Taboonay 2.2 (great ROM), I decided to come back to stock 3.2 ROM, wich I did (downloading it from here).

But the problem now is that my market does not want to download anything, keeping stuck on "Preparing to download" or something like that...

Did some of you have this issue ?

How to solve it ?

Thanks

Nico
[Acer Iconia A500] mitch1974:
Restart the device, log into Gtalk and then try downloading from the market.
[Acer Iconia A500] nicopilami:
ok, will try tonight (I'm at work right now)

Would I have to do that each time ?
[Acer Iconia A500] mitch1974:
Not normally, but I've had to use that trick on a G1, a Wildfire and a Desire.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Might need a different version of the market app. If the above trick doesn't help, let me know, and I'll get you a good working version with instructions how to install it. I sometimes get that same error (stuck at downloading), but usually I have to cancel it several times, and eventually it get's going. Pretty sure with me, it's the Market site. They've only put out about 50 different versions of it, and when you get one that works, disable the auto update. Hopefully that stops it from updating to a newer version that doesn't work.
[Acer Iconia A500] nicopilami:
OK, thanks, will try that tonight

The market site is already a good alternative, but not very easy when I want to download many apps at once... :o

bye

Nico
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Rule number 1. Never download and install multiple apps. Sure way to "clog" the system. 1 at a time bro.
[Acer Iconia A500] nicopilami:
arf, the solution above does not work for me...
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ok, here is the market app I use.

I'm an old fashioned guy, so heed the instructions,

I assume you are rooted.

1. Using root explorer, or a file manager that has root access, rename you current "vending.apk" to like "oldvending.apk"

2. copy my market.apk into system/app folder.

3. Rename the market.apk to vending.apk (you probably need to only change the first name).

4. With your file manager, you can check the permissions (long press). Make sure your vending.apk has the same permissions as other files in the directory. Click the box as needed.

5. Reboot your tablet.

6. Go to Settings/applications/application manager, and delete the cache's.

7. This will make you log in to google market again when you start the app.

Should work, as the same version works for me.

EDIT: XDA, seems not to be able to handle attachments just now. They seem overloaded...... They can only handle about 200 users at any one time.

Hey guys!!,

Yet another of my noob questions BUT, this time I think I'm going to take the plunge and root my Gnex!!! *scared* haha

I'm just having to many frustrating things happening on my stock Gnex, low responsiveness to the touch, slow-ish and well, isnt this what its all about!! =)

So a quick one, if anyone can point me in the most normal, simple and customizable direction, what do I do? I have searched for a while now so I have an idea where i want to go, either, Cynagon or AOKP...I'm hearing great things about AOKP...there from the same devs yeah?? (a guess)

So, I have a Samsung updated Gnex, in Aus and with optus. I'm technical so I'm getting a grasp on whats what but still not to clear on Kernels and radios....bit worried about that. Clockwork I'm guessing is like a boot manager?? Just asking that while I was here...

So Odin? Wug? CF-Root? I'm just not sure...

Thanks soooo much in advance guys.... I already appreciate your help. =)=)

*Excited!!!*

Cheers!!

P.S. I'd also very much like to return to stock form later on if I want...like locked oem and restored stock rom... =)

Try my ToolKit in the dev forum. Its simple, straightforward, easy to understand, there is a 1-click option which will do everything and every step is explained in detail.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310

You can also use my ToolKit to flash a Stock Google Rom if you ever want to in the future.

With regards to Roms there are lots available to try by very experienced developers that will make your phone better and plenty of kernels to make it run ALOT faster. I use bigxie's Rom and franco's kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Hi!!,

Thanks so much for your reply!

Funny as, I was JUST reading your guide. Awesome work man, very informative.=)=) and it would of taken some time to compile!. =/

Arm, I'm just wondering what file I need to backup to got back to the rom I'm on now? I want to be able to go back, if needed.

I don’t know what kernels are all about, and what do I need to do about Radios?? If I have the wrong one or something, does that mean I wont have signal?? Or bad call/signal reliability?

I'm looking at the build 23 of AOKP...I'm hearing its the go...and if i have a wrong kernal rom radio combo, what’s that going to do??, that’s if they correlate?? haha

Is security as issue?? Since these are built "freely" is there any exposure of private info?

I'm sorry for smashing you with all this, I'm just trying to get all the info before I do anything and to have a failsafe if I need to return for warranty.... =/

Thank you in advance!!! =)

Cheers.

P.S. Is Bigxie Apex?? I hear good things about that too!! haha. Its so hard, theres so many out there... Apex, Gummy, AOKP look great. I also really want a responsive, battery lasting, fast and importantly "stable" phone. So, not sure what you recommend. =)

Thanks already!! =)=)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Ohhh man, thank you sooo much. That’s a lot of info and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me Mark. Thank you!!!!

Ok, I’ve been watching some videos, one off of GalaxyNexusRoot.com. I think its his YouTube chan… He's seems pretty cool. Shows you what to do. I sort of want to do it manually so I'm understanding it all?, if that makes sense? I like to know exactly what my device is doing, why and how? haha. I'm a bit pedantic like that. :p

Arm, only a couple of things....I'm draining your life here...haha

I have a Samsung updated Gnex, throwing that in FYI. =) Not sure if the warranty centre would realise, probably so I should back it up as it is...on this note quickly, I do want to have a yakju (Google) updated phone though...hehe.

When I back up, does it flash everything? the rom, kernels and radios? (Mostly for my Stock setup for reversion, and understanding...)

With roms, where can I get the G'apps from? (If needed) And or the SupUser/Root files? (Separately I mean, so I can do this manually...if I'm understanding it properly... =/ )

Also, do these apps and others update as normal? Or di i have to update the whole ROM to update them? Like Maps (Navigation more importantly), GTalk, MarketPlace etc...?

And finally....phew...haha arm, sorry....

I'm looking at doing this because currently my device just seems a little non-responsive, laggy-ish and its turned off once.. =/ Is this all normal?? I thought for a minute my screen was faulty, like touches don’t always respond...I mean 90% of the time they do...I know, I'm nuts but it just ruins it for me... I uninstalled Beautiful Widgets and it’s sort of been better…maybe some apps aren’t configured with ICS yet also…I'm thinking it just could be the build? What do you think??

It's kind of weird to think that an individual dev has made. and is making more progress than the developers of the phone/software?? hahah...Anyway, I hope I've made some sense and I really, really, really appreciate all this Mark, all your time and patience with me. =)

Thanks again!!!! :):):)

P.S.... This should be it I SWEAR!! haha....

Just wanted to put these here...these are "some" of the problems I've been having... =/

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I just want to thank the OP for asking the right questions and taking the time to figure out how "hack" his/her phone correctly instead of jumping in blind.

I hope other beginners follow the OP's lead.

That is all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
A cwm backup will back up system, data, boot, recovery and cache but it will not back up your radio image so check your version in the about phone screen first so you know what you need.

The latest gapps flashable zip can be found in the development forum. Did the youtube channel not give a link to the root files? If not then I have attached the 2 files you need to push. Make sure to set their permissions too after pushing.

Without knowing exactly what you have put on your phone its hard to comment about responsiveness but as stock roms dont have all the optimisations that custom roms have they are definitely slower. A custom rom and kernel will surely sort out your problems :)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] udmbrian:
What does stock stand for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
It means the version that the manufacturer put on the phone before it was shipped or a version that is supplied by the manufacturer. Unaltered by developers.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Thanks again!!!!

Ok cool. So when new versions of the apps come out on the market, I wont be able to update them normally will I? Which is ok but just wondering how that is going to go down. Haha.

Lastly, sorry man, I'm almost there. Haha. CWM doesn't backup kernel? Like my stock one?

So it basically makes a "phone" image, ExtPartition and all? Or can you choose these options?

Right, I'm so close now I reckon, today will be the day... I can feel it!!! Haha.

Thank you again!!!!!!!!! :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Yes of course you can update google apps via the market as normal.

Cwm will back up your boot image which contains the kernel. So yes it does back up the kernel.

You can not choose which options to back up but you can choose which parts you want to restore via the advanced restore option in cwm.

Let me know how it all goes :)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Hey El Daddy,

Thanks man. I try to reframe from being a pain in butt.... not sure how I've gone with that but, Haha. I appreciate what your saying. I just want to be sure what I'm doing and to have, as Mark said, all the "ammo" I need. :-)

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkeypaws:
Great questions and answers from both of you. Just got this phone and trying to figure out where to start. Briefly read the toolkit instructions. Just haven't had the time to sit down and plow through it. Thanks both of you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Thanks so much again Mark...This is Great!!

Ok, just before I do this...I'm like right here at the PC...ready! haha...

I understand all of it now, well. in theory...

Thank you for the DL link to the root.zip...

I DL'd the android SDK Kit zip also, but there’s no fastboot.exe??? Or anything like what I need?? haha, I may just be missing something here...

One of you links on you manual guide is broken...I think, that’s where you had it...I didnt want to harass you again but just some final things. =)

I'm really after all of what I need to this manually...for knowledge etc?? Hope you understand... You made this wicked awesome Kit, and I'm stupid and not using it...hahah...

So as far as I can see, I need:

- Samsung Drivers - which I have and that bits done... =)

- fasboot.exe etc (Android SDK Gear)

- Latest CWM.zip

- **Rom of my choice, which I'm going to take your advice and go with Apex. =) Latest 1.02 yeah??

- Franco Kernel, I'll try stock, but my feeling on it is that that’s probably been my major issue, or the cause of most of them... =)

Phew....I think that’s it...am I on the right track??

I cant thank you enough with all this Mark....seriously...your a very patience man. haha

Cheers. =)

**Update**

P.S. I have attached a file. Mark can you check it out and see if that what I need in regards to Android SDK stuff? I just got this now after I posted the above....

Thanks again... =)

***Update...again....haha***

Arm, just looking at these files, whats the boot.img? does that get copied over to the phone? Or is it just a command? The su & Superuser files in this zip are like a different size and modified later than your ones (newer??? =/)....I'm not sure what that would really mean...probably has nothing to do with anything but just thought I'd check with you....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Looks like everything in that zip is ok for what you want to do. The superuser.apk is a different size but im sure it doesnt matter.

In order to push the 2 files across to your phone you need to have booted into Android using an insecure boot image. This is a stock boot.img that has has some simple text changes to allow temporary root access (otherwise the files wouldnt copy across) Using fastboot you boot the boot.img file and then once you are in Android you push the files across and set their permissions. When you reboot your phone your original boot image will be used and you should have permanent root via the files.

Looks like you are all set :)

MArk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Oh ok. So it doesn't stay on the phone?, its temporary??

So if this file say, is corrupted or malicious, (not really possible probably byt...) I'm in trouble? haha

Sorry, I have everything I think now, I grabbed the SDK of the Android website and I'm comfortable with that cause its "legit" I suppose. It doesn't have a boot.img file though. Can I make one myself so I know where its coming from? And where does this normally come from?

Silly stuff I know but, I told you, I'm CRAZY!! haha....

One very last thing...the permissions, whats that part all about...

Other than that, I'm pretty sure I'm sweet now...I also grabbed the latest CWM zip off the website too...so I'm cool with that.

......geez.... I'm killing you aren't I....I think you deserve (need) at LEAST 1 beer after all this....haha...

Thanks x 1,000,000...seriously.... =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Its perfectly possible to make your own boot image but to be honest you might take another day or 2 to get all the required components and research what you need to do lol :)

If you go to your settings, about phone screen and tell me the build version (4.0.1, 4.0.2) and whether its a gsm or lte device (im assuming gsm as lte is america/canada) then I will attach the boot image I made for that device so it will definitely be right and safe. You can also use the su and superuser.apk files I attached earlier if you are unsure about them.

I dont mind all the questions as long as you end up feeling confident enough to get your phone rooted mate :) I would rather people ask too many (but the right) questions than just go blindly into something have no understanding about and end up in trouble.

Mark.
