[Motorola Photon 4G] obender:
It's been a while since the phone was released but I cannot find any acceptable extended battery solutions still.

I mean 'cmon, mugen power battery (or alike) with the camel hump? Really?

The batteries that fit standard case and claim to be of a higher capacity are mostly always are fake.

Keeping a spare and changing it in the middle of a day is pretty cumbersome.

The only option that's left is to charge it at least twice a day.

So the question is, has someone came across a decent and non-ugly extended battery yet?
[Motorola Photon 4G] epark1281:
Nope

I've scoured the internet for hours looking for a solution like this. Alls i wanted was a 10-20% bump without the extra bulk.

Sadly, nothing. There were some non legit batteries that somebody had used on android forums that were 1900mAh, but sadly this also wasn't the best fit in the phone and ended up busting his battery cover.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Sadly, the answer to your queestion is no. Sorry!
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] jameslfc5:
I've downloaded and installed this but it doesn't fit the screen fully, anyone know of a fix please?

Thanks
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] spunker88:
There is a compatibility mode that will stretch apps, is that option available? Otherwise you could play around with the screen density assuming you are on CM9. 160dpi is what CM9 defaults to but 132 is what the screen actually is.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] jameslfc5:
That's the answer I was hoping for, I thought it may be something to do with that., but didn't know the default and the actual screen size so I'll give it a go :)

And it doesn't show the stretch option as it is a tablet only app I think
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] jameslfc5:
I have changed the dpi to 132 but this hasn't made any difference to the app

Since this is an apk that was posted on an AndroidPolice article do you think this could be the problem?

Also just to add that the app is actually capable of fullscreen as it does it at sign in, but once signed in it goes smaller
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] spunker88:
Is it possible to force a screen resolution change from within Windows. It may be defaulting to a 16:9 resolution, if you could force 1024x768 maybe it will fill the screen.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] jameslfc5:
I've tried looking for the option and can't see it :/ thanks anyway
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] nett3:
Has anyone found a solution? It makes this app less usable when 1/3 of the screen is wasted.

edit: using the app from the market, same problem. Must be either touchpad or cm9 related.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] jameslfc5:
Update:

After emailing and telling them of the problem I was experiencing this was the reply I got ...
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] spunker88:
So basically it only supports 16:9 tablets, not too smart if thats how it was developed. There are official 4:3 Android tablets out there like the Pantech Element. Funny thing is the iPad app seems to be supporting 4:3 just fine.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] sahhar1993:
they will test it in lg optimus vu soon and release it

lg optimus have same frequency in touchpad
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] berman56:
Same issue on Le Pan II

I also contacted Onlive support about the same issue on my Le Pan II (also 1024x768). They said they would send along the problem to their engineers and consider supporting 4:3 android tablets. Hopefully soon.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] RudeYute:
How did you get it installed on your TP? When I try from Google Play it tells me it is not supported in my country. Changed it to US (T-Mobile) in using MarketEnabler and still no joy. Also got Samsung SGH-T989 in build.prop - not sure if that is the problem.

Edit - seems to be working now.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] AtomicPlayboy:
Is it 16:9 or 4:3? I also have this problem, running a 100% stock CM9 nightly (from 5/7/12 currently), no altered build.prop or enablers.

How to use /set /have /put Onlive Desktop on ANY SMARTPHONE OR TABLET!!!

How to use /set /have /put Onlive Desktop on ANY SMARTPHONE OR TABLET!!!

Simple trick to bypass 7 inch protection and use this cool app on any device...

If you dont have app download latest version with black market alpha

http://www.mediafire.com/?hgdljhid6kvomke

Just download from google play lcd resolution - ///must have root and busybox///

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wemobs.android.lcdresolution&hl=sr

Set density around 100 – 160 and Onlive Desktop will probably work... - Tryed on Galaxy Note and density 160... (lowest possible...) and it worked :)

Only bad thing it wont probably be full screen, so fell free to try different resolutions, and maybe you set full screen

Hope i helped! If you have any question or better idea fill free to say :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
To tell you all the truth, Nokia is really shaping Windows Phone OS. They are always adding new enhancements and apps to the Phone which really make the OS more lovely to use. They have really made the other OEMs WACK and lets take my HTC phone for example, the HTC apps never change and they really don't have any enhancements to the OS....all goes to HTC Android Phones with sense 4.0 and no new apps at the HTC section at the Marketplace. Nokia just introduced the transport and reading hub which I like very much and I think it's time the other OEMs start doing something on enhancements on the OS to attract more customers or else most of us will switch to Nokia when Apollo arrives.

Can't even imagine I have to wait for 3 solid months for the CNN and ESPN apps.....whilst Lumia Holders are enjoying....hmmmmm!
[Windows Phone 7 General] andregarcia_1:
Really thanks to Windows Break Project, I use Nokia App in my Samsung Focus :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seed 2.0:
I've been able to use all but Nokia Drive and the MWC app. I'm about to try the ACC app now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
That's because for Nokia it is very important that Windows Phone is succesfull.

Other OEMs mainly have Android and make most of their money from Android.

That's not to say that I wouldn't want e.g. HTC to bring Beats Audio to Windows Phone, but I can understand why they wait.

If Nokia's Lumias sell well in the future, this MIGHT very well help WP7 including other OEMs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
That's the least they could do for MS, a company that is basically their backbone and their future. Nokia/MS is what you call a true partnership. Symbian has great quality apps and it would be only right for them to bring that same quality over to WP. Can't wait to get my lumia 900+nokia purity HD. I'm going to be the happiest camper on the block. Expect lumia 900 to sell very ell in the states.

But on the other hand I have to agree other OEM's need to put forth quality efforts in building better quality product such as Nokia. But you have to also realize that our other OEMS's that are putting out devices also have commitments to Android which is selling well, so I. wOuldnt expect much from them until they see how well NOKIA is going to sell, Apollo arrives, and the ecosystem of windows products interaction with different types of devices such as Xbox, tablets, pc's, laptops, and windows phones
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
But Nokia also has Symbian? Its not that WP is their only OS. Almost all of the OEMs have more than One OS to deliver to.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Ok guys I have a Samsung Epic running Gingerbread EL30, kernel version 2.6.35.7 Hardware version D700.0.5.

I have read and read and read both here and on SDX, and I'm still lost, also I'm as phone literate as a rock.

What I want to do is obtain root access to my phone without replacing or changing anything because I like the performance of eth phone, I just want to get rid of ads, and some of that good old Sprint and 3rd party bloatware thats killing me. is there a program out ere anywhere that simply gives me root access, without changing roms, kernels and stuff like that?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Download and install teamviewer and pm me the id and password and I can do this in a half an hour or so..depends :)

[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
Yes, install clockwork mod to have root and there's ways to manually remove bloatware. Look up qbking77 on youtube. He has vids for step by step instructions
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
This ^^^^^^^ but you will have to replace the kernel to get clockwork mod to stick. B16 has pointed you to the right place. Just follow the video and make sure you have a good cord, the stock cord is known to be crap. A Blackberry cord is better.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Huh? what the heck is teamviewer?
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
It allows him to see what you see on your computer. That way he can just do it for you as if the computer were in front of him. It's a great tool for business and helping other people out. Look it up. :)
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Thanks I looked it up and downloaded it, outta make MSE go ape poo poo here in a few :)

[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Ok I'm firing the prog up now and I'll pm you in a minute
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
You don't need to install another kernel to keep root. You just have to remove the restore-recovery.sh file (I think that was the name). You would have to install Clockwork twice to do it.

1. Install CWM via Odin and reboot, pull battery once it shuts off and before it reboots, put battery back in and do 3 button boot into CWM recovery

2. Install su.zip and reboot. Once rebooted it will restore stock recovery but you will have root

3. Use some kind of file manager like ES Explorer and delete or move the restore-recovery.sh (I think that was the name)

4. Install CWM via Odin again and reboot. This time CWM Recovery will stick because that file has been removed which restores stock recovery.

I have done this on my phone and my friend's phone and CWM recovery does stick.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I was told the recovery.sh is not in EL30.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Thank You Big Goron!!!!!!! My phone is now rooted and I have the exact same operating system as before, just with out amazon mp3 and a few others that were killing the battery :)

You are a genius.

I can't do a lot, but if theres ever a program I have that you need just say it.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
It did on my phone and my friend's phone when we did the OTA from EI22 to EL30. After doing the update, I lost root so I tried to go into CWM recovery to reflash su.zip and saw that it had reverted back to stock recovery. After I installed CWM twice and install su.zip, looked in the filesystem and saw the restore-recovery.sh file was back in it again so I assumed that the EL30 update put that file back in. It was a simple fix either way so I didn't really sweat that it had removed root and CWM recovery.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Since I already have EL30, I'm hoping I don't get any updates pushed to my phone, now that I have complete root access, I can install whatever I want :)
[Epic 4G General] mmiller2001:
Just make sure to return the phone to stock should you ever have to take it back to sprint.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Why? if I take it to Spring it gonna be because the thing is totaled and doesn't work:)

Besides this is my last Phone from Sprint, I have another epic ( factory) from Best Buy and with their black tie service they couldn't care less if its rooted or not and thats the next phone I'll have turned on if this one breaks :)
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Well guys thanks, for all the help but I just smashed my phone with a ball peen hammer several times, Google market said it was updating to Google play and it totally screwed my phone up to the point it went back to a factory startup, and since I have ptsd am under a lot of stress I lost it and destroyed the problem, Now I'm stuck with my wifes phone and its gotta go to best buy and get replaced cause its a total pos.

Starting to wonder if I even want a phone, I remember when I was a kid we didn't have phones and my life was a hellofa lot easier.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Maybe you should add hammers to that list of things you shouldn't have too...LOL
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
No I actually need a hammer, that way I can rid my world of junk that doesn't work right.

I swear I ain't gonna bother rooting or asking for help with this one because every single time I have ever had a phone set up to work right something happens and it ends up over the fence.

I love having a phone that is rooted because I can get rid of all that junk that bogs it down and kills the battery, since the last phone was rooted by Big Goron, the battery lasted all day once I was done removing the stuff that was safe to remove, I was actually finally happy with a Samsung phone, now its in so many pieces NCIS couldn't find them all.

Man after thinking about it I'd hate to be the fool that ever breaks into my house at night when I'm asleep.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
That's weird because my phones rooted an on cm9...completely different rom and I updated to google play just fine...I'm sorry my work went to waste :D jk...sounds like you need another phone rooted? :) I can always help just need a minute to figure out how to root the phone depending on what it is let me know if you'd like me to take a look ;).

[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
It's always nice to clean out a bunch of stuff you don't need, just remember thqt extra apps simply existing aren't necessarily going to kill your battery life. There are maybe two or three apps worth nuking and a few settings worth adjusting and your results will be just fine.

Be careful if you really are a newbie. SU is a risky thing to have around if you don't always understand what you're allowing everytime you grant permissions. These are advanced tools, so take the time to increase your proficiency. If you're the set-it-and-forget-it type, root isn't for you.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
I had my wifes old D700 turned on

yet another Samsung Epic, so far this one isn't doing to me what it did to her, but after I get all my crap back I might try rooting again cause instead of Sprint this one goes to Best buy if its not working right, I definitely appreciate the offer brother, I know that once I'm, done I gotta get rid of the Spring bloat ware. And I still have all the stuff you downloaded onto my computer I just put them in a different folder so I can hide them from Prying eyes

[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Ok I got a little bored last night so I downloaded the videos and tried rooting it myself, congratulate this old idiot guys, I now have another phone with no swipe, football, nascar, tv or anything else clogging my memory :) I'm starting to feel smart. But if I am getting smarter ts yall's fault.

Now to read up on unrooting in case I gotta take it back to Best buy for a swap out. (black tie protection)
[Epic 4G General] virgillette:
Geez. So sorry to hear an Epic went down in flames like that!
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Just Gald I had a spare, and form a place where I can take it back and not have to pay a arm and a leg

Oh and its STILL running great
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Hey guys another stupid question, after rooting the Epic, should I let the battery totally die and recharge it from dead ? I hope so cause my phone just went below 1% and shut off on me :)

Oh by the way after rooting this one it took me darn near all day to kill it.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
If it's a new battery you'll want to condition it, so yes I would say let it recharge to 100% and then let it drain again. Rinse and repeat.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Thanks man, its not new, its about two months old, But I'm hoping this makes it last a little longer than before I rooted it
[Epic 4G General] virgillette:
When you said it took a day to kill it were you referring to another hammer or just the battery?
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Just the Battery. So far as long as I stay off the internet in the mornings I can stay off the charger, but if I use wifi the battery lasts at least 8 hours
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Ok I did something this morning that totally screwed my phone up, I downloaded a screen resolution changer that made very app in the market incomparable, so i did a factory reset, I don't know what kind of root it was that you guys showed me but it is STILL rooted after a factory reset :) YEA!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):)
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Factory reset wipes the data partition. Root and superuser are contained in the system partition.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Thanks I didn't know that, either way it still being rooted after a factory reset saved me the trouble of rooting it again and uninstalling all that sprint bloatware.

I started re downloading all my apps and within an hour I had them all back again plus a coupe I forgot about.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Nice. You are getting lots of practice re-setting up your phone.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Yep, I am, and I learned that changing the screen resolution and size screws up my phone,
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
As you found out, a lot of market apps detect resolution so changing it causes many apps to be "incompatible."
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Oh yea, from now on I'll leave that alone.

But now after the reset I have a new problem, I used to have the first part of a BlackJack song as the notification ring tone and thunderstruck as the call ring tone, Thunderstruck is ok , but I can't figure out where to put the blackjack so the notification ring tone can be set to that.

The file format is : MPEG Layer 3 Audio File (mp3)

Right now I'm using the one that sounds like monkeys throwing coconuts.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
On your sd card there shoild be a media\audio directory with more directories called ringtones, notifications, and alarms. If not then make them and put it in notifications.
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
It worked,,,,thanks, I totally forgot that it wen there

Basically when I had a Samsung moment after I rooted that thing I used to take out the sd card and put stuff on it that way, then use Astro file manager to open it. so just to be on the safe side I did it this time and now I have my old notification ring tone again :)
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
OK last night I installed Busybox, so now I can start installing and changing other things :)
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Clearly you're one to understand the meaning of "trial and error"

You're gonna have a lot of fun now that you've stepped into the realm of rooting!
[Epic 4G General] wolfen1086:
Oh yea, my entire life is based on trial and error, I went through school and barely graduated back in 1981, then joined the Navy and learned everything I know about aircraft and engines in general through whats called OJT ( on the job training) now trail and error is the best way for me to learn anything.

It isnt as popular as it should be. Most people prefer the larger 10.1 for a tablet. More restate to look at i guess. 8.9 is a more comfortable and managable size but that irrelevant
