[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Considering the original Galaxy S(which is nearly identical to the Charge) isn't getting ICS, it's almost a sure thing no Samsung phone will be getting it on Verizon. It's mainly due to Sammy wanting to include TW with it. :/
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidBlaze:
You're correct but US Cellular is releasing the Charge under the name "Aviator" soon. Meaning, Samsung must update the software to at least ICS on the Aviator otherwise it would look really bad on them. If it is anything like it was with the Mesmerize and Fascinate, then the software should be interchangeable between phones without too much work. We'll see though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
So assume that if it is the case with Aviator where they released ICS for this phone, we could just dump and port the OS to the Charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jwahlg:
This does imply they use the same ril?

I'm not sure since LTE, a relativity new tech among carriers but

depending on the freqs U.S. Cellular uses there could be large differences.

Although i'm sure just having a optimized version of ICS for the hardware would be a great help in a port.

One of the reasons alot of people choose otterbox is because of there awesome no hassle warranty. Well i just had to get my htc flyer case replaced through warranty today and the lady was telling me to expect otterbox to get alot more demanding on there warranty replacements. She said there reporting substantial financial losses due to warranty claims. Some people have even been clever enough to call up otterbox and place claims on cases they dont have just to get a free one. So if your one of the people who love otterbox and know someone who abuses there warranty procedure you mite wana tell em to tone it down because soon you will have to send all broken parts to there headquarters in Colorado and wait for a replacement
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
They should have had people send back their damaged parts back in the first place.

It's sad to see that people are taking advantage of their current policy.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
I think the problem is they dont make people take the pictures with the paper shiwing there name and date on it next to the phone. When i called about my otterbox they just asked what model it was and what broke and she shipped me a new one. Didnt even ask for pictures
[HTC EVO 3D] icepixie:
i wouldnt have an issue shipping my otterbox back... no use keeping defective products around.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdsinglebarrel:
Interesting. I had to send a picture of the case to Otterbox the first time for the Commuter. I've gone through 3 of their damn Commuter Cases because they don't fit the phone properly (too big of a gap at the top). Finally had them send a Defender and I'm like WTF. Just make the Commuter fit properly. I'm just dealing with it now trying to find a new case. Great customer service though. Sad to see so many abusing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I like there warranty lol They are really cool about things I never abuse my cases or holsters ... I like how they just want a pic with your name and stuff .. Some warrantys are a pain in the ass... Have to send in the old case and pay shipping and takes a week or more to get a another one in...
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
So you're saying I could call them right now, tell them I had a Defender case fail on me, and they'll send me a new one, no questions asked?

Even if I never owned one?
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!! That is considered theft by deception and is against the law.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
Unfortunately thats what people have been doing
[HTC EVO 3D] bornagainpenguin:
That's a shame. And then the people who do this kind of crap wonder why there's no customer service anymore....
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
Dont they require you to send the "damaged" product in... If lost you send the box and original receipt?
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
No they don't.

Which is what I personally like with otterbox and is why I stick with them instead of Ballistic.

I hate to hear that people abuse this though. :( That just means their warranty will be more of a hassle in the future
[HTC EVO 3D] neonfreak20:
Actually, When i called to file a claim. The lady asked me for 4-5 Digit Code on the Inside of the back of the Case to obviously prove that i indeed had the case lol.

It seems that they are starting to crack down on false claims. Which should have been in full effect since day 1!!
[HTC EVO 3D] smokin1337:
They asked me to do that LOL i broke the clip on my holster and wanted a replacement without paying $50 for a new on so he said to write my name and the date on a piece of paper and place it with the broken part and send it to him so i did.

Well i have an evo 3d and they sent me 3 evo 4g holsters so i emailed him back again telling him they were wrong, he said he would ship the correct one. About 3 weeks later i received 3 brand new cases and holsters WOOT so now i am otterbox for life... And i got to keep the evo 4g holsters so i sold them on ebay. Now i have 2 replacement defenders for when mine breaks or gets dirty lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] teripanglaut:
Do you mind if i asked you the 5 digit code at the defender case and holster.....hahahaha
[HTC EVO 3D] runcool:
this thread needs to be shut down. I know there are people in this thread that have stolen these cases by this method or will do it now since they know they can.
[HTC EVO 3D] bornagainpenguin:
I don't have an otter anything and this thread offends me. I agree this thread needs to go to away.
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
You realize the dates on these post? crap has changed.... Kthxbye.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
Do NOT discuss taking advantage of ir filing false claims. Doing so is.against forum rules.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] wotzupvan:
Hi,

I managed all the pre-requisites but have been halted at downloading the rom.

The host site seems to be unobtainable. Can someone please help me out with the files i need.

Power on your phone and don’t let go power button.

DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded.

Go to 10. Services.

Go to 4. UseLast24NAND.

Press Call button for YES.

Go to 5. USB Flasher.

Connect USB cable from PC to phone.

You should see Wait USB…USB.

At PC, enter HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2_native folder.

Right click on DWI.exe and select ‘Run as administrator’.

Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.

Follow onscreen instructions to install.

Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.

Disconnect USB cable from phone.

Follow onscreen instructions to setup Windows Phone 7 settings (time zone, date & time).

That’s all.

I am stuck with what i should do, if i cant get these files what are my options?

Thanks in advance for the help!:)
[LG Thrill 4G] tacticalcombat69:
I have been unsuccessful in trying to locate the nvram.txt file. I noticed the location of other phones it is in /etc/wl file unfortunatly the directory of this phone doesnt have that or i simply cant locate it because its some place else. Any help is greatly appreciated thank you:)
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
I've seen a few people complaining, I guess I was using my phone 'light use' for a lot of the day but Wi-Fi has been on all day and the same with Mobile Internet. Is the time shown a good time for the battery?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Can you show your screen on time and awake time?
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
Too late now, it ran out of battery 10 minutes later :/ but why would that matter?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
It'd show if the phone was busy when the screen was off. Tap the battery graph at the top and it'll show more info.
[HTC Sensation] beston94:
Yep, it would show whether something was waking it up from the sleep. A good application to determine what woke it up would be betterbatterystats. That application can be found free on the xda forums and paid on the market.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
accidently hit post twice.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
I decided to downgrade everything on my device and take the latest OTA, including the 2.18 hboot. This version is unlockable through the HTCdev website. From there you can simply flash a custom recovery and install the su binaries.

I have guides written up, on both, on my blog, and encourage you to check them out!

To unlock your bootloader, start HERE. Credit to HTCdev obviously for their attempt to give their customers what they want.

Next, to flash recovery and install su binaries check out THIS. Credit to chainsDD for his awesome work and continued devotion to root.

Note: This will not give you S-off, this does come with some limitations but I have not been hindered too much. The one thing I have not been able to do is flash a custom splash screen, because you have to do it through bootloader and it will not get past security. Other wise you can flash anything you would normally do in recovery.

My goal in doing this was to gain the experience, as many of the newer HTC devices only have this option available to them and I want to see the ins and outs as well as the downsides. I know there are methods of reverting back to froyo and using unrEVOked, which is tempting but I like the knowledge.

I already feel much more comfortable with SDK, fastboot and adb commands. This makes me feel more in tune with the Android OS and more comfortable to begin delving into development. I am a curious person and like to know what is going on with my device.

A discussion here would also be welcomed, for anything relating to using the unlocked bootloader. I will be glad to share my findings and try out some of the other things people are doing in order to use the phone in this state.

First off, any ideas on getting the splash screen changed? I was thinking, maybe a flashable zip? Or pushing through fastboot?
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
You won't be able to change the splash screen without S-OFF. You can only update the partitions that HTC has unlocked, which are boot, system, and recovery. The others still require signature verification, which means an unsigned zip won't write successfully. I don't know of any way around that, besides the obvious method of downgrading the HBOOT/Baseband and using a full NAND unlock method.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
So where is the splash screen located? I am fairly new to the insides of this stuff, really just dl and flash what sounds good.

Could you make a signed zip that would push the image?
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Not exactly sure, but I think it has it's own home (separate from the unlocked partitions, that is). And we cannot make a signed zip that will update a locked partition because we don't have HTC's signature.
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
Wouldn't you be able to change the splash image 1 from a ruu with the splash screen and then run the ruu to get the splash screen
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
An RUU still authenticates through the bootloader and needs to have HTC's signature. There aren't any EVO HTC-signed RUUs with a splash screen different than the one we have.
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
If you go to the 3vo forums I believe there is a workaround for hboot 1.5 so I think it can be applied to us also
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Can you find it?

Super IPS on balanced with web browsing.

2d rendering off, using .14.

turned it on at 100% at 3:00, it's now 4:15 and I'm at 65%.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crystalstylez:
looks like something is probably holding a wake lock. Were you using it when it went down? Install betterbatterystats to see what keeping it away for the whole hour if it was not being used.

Also what was the brightness on?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I was just posting on xda for the hour.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crystalstylez:
is your tablet scaling frequencies properly since the last update if you look at cpuspy?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Super IPS mode is a killer
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crystalstylez:
^^^ this also
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I guess I won't be using that anymore unless I absolutely must, that discjarge rate is ridiculous.

where the line starts to even out more towards the middle is when I turned off super ips.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anti09:
Yup, it's all Super IPS mode. I was disappointed with the TP's battery at first but that was because I was running it at max brightness with IPS+ enabled. Now I keep it at 33% and I usually only charge once every other day.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Well, Celtic wanted to lightly push out the download to people as a little surprise. I decided I wanted to be an ass and let everyone know for a fact: CM7 has been released! This includes tons of bug fixes and it pretty much runs 100% except a few minor bugs here and there but pretty much everything has been fixed. :) Anyway, go check THIS THREAD for the download link :) Enjoy guys, credits to Team-B, the Testers, and myself. Good luck, and I'll see you on the other side.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Pain12345:
holy ****

just installed it, well it is so ****ing awesome. I just got cwm worked on my nook after about 14 days of trying and now you are releasing this!

Thank you so much. You're really great
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nba1341:
Niceeeeeeeeee
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] upcboy:
Yeah He tried to be sneaky... but It was found... everyone get busy installing its a nice upgrade if your running Alpha1

Thank you!!! It works great, can't wait for bluetooth capability :)

App market is works great I noticed GTA3 is missing still... anyway to get around it and get the app???

I will be donating to team very soon thank you again :)

You guys are AWESOME!!!!

I finally can say that I have a REAL tablet!!!!!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Greatness83:
I'm sure i'll try it cause they made a great rom for my Evo so i'm sure this will be good, but why get excited over an Alpha build??? I could see if it was beta or final, but its just Alpha...unless its THAT good??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] grobin:
Just installed the new cm7 release and it is a beautiful thing! Very few problems and NO major issues for me. And the install was fantastic - can't imagine how it could get any easier or faster! Amazing job!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LordGibson:
It IS that good.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Greatness83:
yea just installed it....excellent rom only problem i have is i still don't have full market(missing about 10 of my apps) but no biggie.

Is there a good alternative to the default B&N reader?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] porthos75:
I haven't used the B&N Reader but I currently use Aldiko (actually paid for the premium version, but the free version works fine as well) and Kobo for all my reading, and I think both work great.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
CM7 is a beautiful thing! I am now a PROUD owner of a Nook Tablet! The only problem I have is video playback being a tad choppy but I can live with that. It will be fixed sooner or later.

The Nook for Android on the Market IMO is 10 times better that the Nook for Nook Tablet!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
I replaced the B&N reader app with Cool reader and im just glad that cool reader lets me scroll up and down to read instead of flipping pages. guess I am just use to scrolling a lot more then I am flipping pages since I read stories in a web browser a lot and they just have scrolling. hmm havent really checked on if the app keeps my place yet or not with it in scrolling mode hope it does
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lekr:
I'm trying to reset a phone to the official rom (running MIUI now), and have been told to download this file:

PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed (.zip)

Told meg to rename it to PB99IMG.zip and place it on SD. The file was supposed to start by itself when starting the phone in HBOOT. But nothing happens.

What could be wrong? Please don't tell me to read another thread, I don't understand a word in these threads.

The phone belongs to a girl, and she's without a phone until this issue is solved. Some quick help would be great.

hi and excuse me i post here. i do not now where i could post and my issue is really...ugly, 'cause my tablet, that is an Onda MyTab (so ZTE V9 with CyanogenMod 7, the "stable" version), can not enter recovery mode, and so i can not install Google Applications or another ROM. in fact, when i enter recovery mod, the android's robot logo (the green one) appeares and the tablet gets locked. i am in despair!!!
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
There may or may not be another thread like this, but this is sort of just from my current situation.

Specs: 2750 mAh Lithium Ion (no one cares)

The battery itself is the size of two standard batteries stacked on eachother

Charging: I started charging at about 9 in the morning, still charging at 1 PM

Charge speed really slowed at the 90% mark. So, about 4 hours to charge. All stats recorded after calibration.:)

Discharge:*UPDATED*

:eek:

:eek:

Used Pandora for about an hour+, used the internet for 2+ hours, downloaded about 15 apps, uploaded a couple pics (downloaded a couple as well), and ran it overclocked (1.6-1.8 Ondemand Governed) while screen on. (400 Mhz while screen off)

Also texted a lot, made a call, and left it on 4G all day.

Look and feel: Definitely adds some bulk and weight. But the bulk adds a nice grip, but if you're into paper-thin phones, stear clear of this battery. You can see the bump it creates but only if you lay it on its screen, and if it's sitting on the back, it kind of totters (due to arched shape). No beats logo, straight up.

By request, picture of insides.

I'll try and keep this updated if I can think of anything else.

Hope someone finds this useful.

And if anyone has additions, please post them.

Thanks everybody! :D
[HTC Rezound] fjl307:
I just got my extended battery today. So far I don't mind the bulk even though I cannot use my Otterbox case, so I think I'll use this when I know I'm going to be on the road or tethering.

Is there a different way to post those images of the discharge rate? I'm curious to see how they are. They won't load.
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
I've read that someone got their extended battery to fit in the charger if they left the otterbox back case off.

Edit: Here's the post

Edit: Fixed, as long as you don't mind page stretching
[HTC Rezound] fjl307:
I actually have the Otterbox Commuter case so this won't quite work but I am considering getting the Defender so I'll have to give this a try if I do. Thanks for the post.

How many hours are you averaging with the extended battery?
[HTC Rezound] ckang008:
hi! Thanks for this! Can you take some picture of the inside of the cover? I heard there are antennas sticking out but just want to confirm! Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
With regular use (music/video streaming, downloading, calls and texts, games) about 12 + hours

Edit: New pics are up and old ones are fixed
[HTC Rezound] emarietta:
Did you bump charge?
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
you mean charging after it hits 100 %? No, just calibrated as soon as it hit full charge.
[HTC Rezound] fjl307:
I just reported about the same. Actually 16:45 to be exact. About 5 of that had the screen on and about 6 with WiFi. Overall I'm pleased with the battery life and I don't mind the extra bulk

Sent using my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
Bump.......
[HTC Rezound] ruvort:
Thanks for the share :-)
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
got with it 65 hours

3.5 hours screen on

not much calling
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
Thank you for the review, it helped me make my decision. There were a few days left for the 50% off deal so I went to the store and got the extended battery. Like a few others, I do like the extra bulk. I have big hands so that extra thickness makes the phone easier to hold.

It took a LONG time to charge the first time, I drained it all the way till the phone shutdown, plugged it into a fast charger at 10:30pm (while off) and the light turned green at 6:45am while I was getting ready.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
Yea the first charge takes a very long time. After a while it doesn't take anymore then 3-4 hours
[HTC Rezound] mdunn1066:
The bulk that it adds is significant yet, for my hands at least, it seems to make it easier to grip in 1 hand than before because the new edge that protrudes from the bottom.
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
My phone to this day takes 5+ hours to charge from 20% or below, but the first charge took me about 8 hours in total, (2 hours being after it hit 90% charged)
[HTC Rezound] tomraedisk:
what voltage is the battery just curious since i'm about to get one
[HTC Rezound] DadamsJR:
anyone else notice a drop off in holding a charge, cause mine has, not rooted either
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
3.7 for the extended and stock batteries

No problems with mine. Used them about 6 months.
[HTC Rezound] tomraedisk:
figure i would ask since mine came with a stock 3.8
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Shoot, my phone takes 1-2 hours when past 20% to charge with extended battery. Stock charger and all.
[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
When I bought the extended battery (2750 from Verizon) yesterday I read on the back it was suppose to be fully charged before it's first use; so I removed my normal battery and placed the new one in when I went to sleep. I turned it on for the first time later that morning when I woke-up, once it was fully charged. Was that a mistake? Should I have run it until it died before charging it the first time? I also forgot to ask how to properly "prime" it, how does one do that? There were no directions in the box. I'm going to return it today and pick up another one from a different store to ensure I charge it properly, etc.
[HTC Rezound] Butcher98:
I put mine on the charger when I got it, dont think it got a full charge though, but i did run it dead the 1st 2 or 3 charges. I wonder how much mumbo jumbo is made about cell batteries.
[HTC Rezound] Rafier:
Best site to learn about batteries I have found is batteryuniversity.com The information is great and used by a lot of us RC hobbists.
[HTC Rezound] Redwolf379:
I have had zero issues with my extended OEM battery. Here's what I did: I bought it mid day, charged it to full, ran it down to dead, and charged back up. Lithium batteries don't have "memory" like the old NiCad batteries did so you shouldn't have to worry about that. Best practice to break it in is to follow the method I used, but I doubt its necessary. A lot of your battery life is determined by your ROM and settings like display, Wi-Fi, etc. so tweak away til you find your sweet spot.
