[Galaxy S I9000 General] rayiskon:
i came from the desire, well as always, there are no perfect things in life, the good things comparing the S+ with the desire are:

-u don't have to mess with ext4 partitions on sd card to compensate the low internal memory (147mb) , the S+ has enough internal storage.

-fully working camera, no choppy video recording at 720p , no audio delay while video recording as it's the case with the desire (on all 2.3 roms).

-no shutting down at 15% battery

-no problem with mounting sd card (quite frequently i used to get sd card mounted "read only" on the desire).

-better gpu (adreno 205) and cpu (scorpion 1.4ghz)

-super amoled display (my desire was the amoled version, but still far from the SAmoled)

basically all the hardware of S+ beats the one on the desire big time

the bad things are:

-small community on S+ , so less support and less development, there is no ICS port, some of the guys are still working on CM7 port (S+ is not supported by cyanogenmod officially so we don't expect anything from them)

-no sense roms, basically u're limited on tweaked samsung stock and AOSP (when they'll be fully working), and probably MIUI that will be based on AOSP.

-as for hardware, there is no flashlight and no LED notification. (depends on if u care for them or not)

-and the biggest negative thing, all samsung devices have lags (including galaxy S2) , sometimes when u wake ur phone it takes 2 sec till u see the lockscreen (bcoz of coming out of deep sleep), in addition to the lag while scrolling homescreens, it's a typical samsung trademark ;)

u'd expect that the deep sleep really extends battery life comparing to the devices that also have deep sleep ,but with no lag , but that's not the case, even with 1650mAh the S+ battery consumption sucks, with normal use (as a smartphone should be used) u can get through one day, 1.5 at most. Battery on desire on sense 1.9 or sense 2.1 roms kills the S+'s battery by far ;)

hope this was helpful , anyways, u r the one who'll decide, no one is gonna make that decision for u ;)

Thanks for talking the time to do the break down,, in google all the Vs are against other newish phone.

I know what you mean about my choice,,I love the fact even note there is still a lot of devs and roms to play with on the desire..

I think that's the sort of info that's harder to find out

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rayiskon:
i guess when u want to upgrade to a new phone, go for a nexus, i'm pretty sure i'm gonna stick to that strategy, after having experience with HTC not wanting to release 2.3 for desire, then the whole campaign till they released kernel sources, and now my experience with samsung and no official ICS support (while sony ericsson will be giving official ICS to devices with similar hardware as SGS and SGS+). so my advice is, run away from the "big" firms ;)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_ek:
When I put the Atrix in the HD dock and the dock is connected to the power socket, the Atrix goes into the clock mode automatically. I don't always have the dock plugged into the electric, but I would still like the clock mode to appear. There is a button for the car mode -- is there one for the clock mode somewhere as well? Is there a trick perhaps?

[Hardware Hacking General] exebreez:
Hello,

i have an idea because the battery of my DELL Streak 7 is quite bad. So i thought, if i get another li-ion battery from a notebook for example, i could build it into the device. Would it be detected?

greetz.
[Hardware Hacking General] lamborg:
I think it should, I mean why not, provided you do the connections properly. 1 thing, the battery specs perhaps must be same or nearly same as the original battery.
[Hardware Hacking General] exebreez:
What do you mean with specs? I need a more powerful battery so the mAh should be different.
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
Main problem is:

1) If the Streak uses an in-pack fuel gauge it could be difficult.

2) Getting a battery of the correct dimensions to fit is going to be extremely difficult

However, if you don't mind issues with form factor, you could:

Make a dummy battery from plastic or wood

Run wires out from this dummy battery to an 18650 holder

Put in a protected 18650 - easy, 2-3 AH battery. :)

Form factor will suck though

Which reminds me, I need to make a dummy battery for my GS2 to measure power consumption.
[Hardware Hacking General] exebreez:
I solved it with a external battery. But i will think about it in future.

Thanks for the answers :)
[Hardware Hacking General] RobinHoodSnr:
No wonder the Samsung Galaxy battery has such a short duration of power...If you think about it, Duo core 1.2Ghz is even STRONGER than most laptops...and their battery range ( for Laptops ) even EXEEDS 4200 mAh...and here we have a Smartphone with only 1650 mAh...Maybe its because of the bigger 15.6" screen's wattage that it has to pull...:confused:
[Hardware Hacking General] onlymojo:
Biggest draw in any system in the backlight for the display, phones or laptops. Secong in laptops is non-SSD hard drives while second in phones is wireless transmission (network mostly but bluetooth and wireless as well).

In terms of the battery the biggest spec you have to worry about is Voltage. most devices regulate what comes off the battery to an extent but still requires it to be within a certain range. Basically, matching is the best and definitely don't try to put a 12V battery in a spot which previously had a 3.7V battery! Unless of course you want to see some fireworks (well, atleast some smoke)! :Þ
[Hardware Hacking General] exebreez:
Wow, i didnt think that anybody will look at this thread :D

If anybody plans to build a new battery, post it here :)
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
Also, only the lowest-power laptops are clocked at 1.2 GHz - and there's MASSIVE differences between old 1.2 GHz laptop CPUs and dual-core Cortex-A9.

TDP of an Intel SU3500 ULV is 5.5 watts - that's in addition to the motherboard chipset and GPU.

TDP of the lowest-power Core i3 is 17 watts

Atoms start at 1.2 watts for the 1.2 GHz single-core Z600 and go upwards from there. Again - add chipset and graphics to that.

Compare to, for example, OMAP4460 - the data I'm seeing indicates a max consumption of around 2.6W for the whole chip - CPU, GPU, and all onchip peripherals (typically found within the motherboard chipset on desktop systems.)
[Hardware Hacking General] Synthetic-Ellz:
heat dissipation (phone case)

a big mistake people make a lot is charging their phones while their phone casing is on, or even using heavy apps with the phone casing on. Phone case covers the battery and increases heat dissipation thus reducing battery life quickly. take note peeps ;)

thinking about doing something like this with my desire hd. I have 3 extended 1600mah batteries. I was thinking about modding a case and running wires to the other battery to increase the capacity. Just cutting a battery sized hole in my case would work. The only problem i see is that the if there is a chip on the battery that measures the level. Although i could just rip it out and see how that works. Itd be nice to have a 3200mah battery
[Hardware Hacking General] giritrobbins:
I don't understand why everyone thinks about doing stuff like this. Building batteries is best left to the professionals. They put lots of thought into the design and construction. They include temperature sensors, voltage and current so you can't overcharge, over discharge, or anything in between.

http://www.ladyada.net/library/batteries.html

Why not buy just a large extended battery that is purpose built?
[Hardware Hacking General] stumpyz9:
well for my desire hd you cant get more than a 1500mAh extended battery. 1500mAh being actual size from a trusted brand. So battery life sucks
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
If your phone uses an in-pack fuel gauge - not worth the hassle.

Some devices, like most Samsungs, use an in-system fuel gauge - the pack has nothing but the basic protection circuits (over/undervoltage lockout, overcurrent/short protection) and sometimes an ID resistor, so if you wire in a larger battery with the same protection circuits (and possibly an ID resistor to the correct pin) it'll work.

DO NOT mess with unprotected Lithium-Ion packs or cells! It's a great way to make them go boom!

The same place giritrobbins linked SELLS prebuilt packs with protection circuitry including purpose-built chargers - http://www.adafruit.com/category/44

Getting any of these to fit in the form factor of an existing device will be next to impossible, but you can use some of the products above to make an external pack for devices that don't put fuel gauge or management circuitry into the pack (such as, as I stated before, most Samsungs).

http://www.adafruit.com/products/353 - that's a pre-matched 3-cell 18650 pack that includes all required protection circuitry. It would be electrically compatible with, for example, the battery in my Galaxy S II (other than not having NFC like my battery does, and someone would have to wire a resistor between the ID contact and ground of a dummy battery to work with a GSII.)

[General Questions and Answers] MarlonKaye:
Hi. I just found out that apk files are kept in the device after installation of the app.

I just recently downloaded a file explorer app and I found out that the apk files of the free games which I downloaded and installed from android market are kept in this folder:

/mnt/asec (I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace)

There are individual folders for each game, and in each folder are a lib folder and the apk file. For example:

Fruit Ninja folder (which is found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.

Fruit Slice folder (which is also found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.

My question is, is it ok to delete these apk files? Will the games still work?

Also, can I send these apk files to someone else via bluetooth so they may download the apps without having to visit android market?
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
yeah you can delete the apk file after installing any app for it to still function, I do it all the time. Yes you can send the apk file to your friend so they can install it. If you're still cautious, try doing a trial run with one apk file...send it to your friend first, then delete, see if it works.
[General Questions and Answers] rarsenaux:
The .apk files are like setup files for windows. Once installed, you don't need the apk, especially if you are backing up with Titanium or similar backup program.

I tried to delete the apk file. It cannot be deleted.

However, I copied it to my sd card, uninstalled the app, re-installed it using the one already in my sdcard, and it installed just fine.

Any ideas or do I just have to deal with it?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel_.:
Hello,

I've bought a Xperia Arc S 2 months ago, and now I want to root it.

I've never rooted a phone. So I suggest that my bootloader is locked.

I don't know what I first have to do and what I have to do to root my phone.

My Build number ends with .62 and i've Android 2.3.4.

I hope that's enough information about my phone. I don't know what I have to do now.

Do I have to downgrade to .42 and then root? Which steps do I have to follow to root my phone?

All what I ask is a simple root guide for my situation at the moment, with clear steps

and with links.

Can anybody help me?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lusterboi:
I'm new to android too but from I've read on this forum, you can only root .62 if you unlock your boot loader. However, if you wish to retain you locked bootloader, you have to downgrade to .42 first and root with zerg's rush method (That is by far the easiest)

Then you can update OTA to .62 and remain rooted, OTA only !!

I hope all the information I have provided is correct. Good luck
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogobaba:
If u downgrade to .42 it will be much easier to root and me personaly i dont really see new new things of improvements in .62 update.If u are using .42 u can root your phone with a program called UnlockRoot its free and u just need to switch the phone to debugging mode and connect it to the pc then u press "root" and the phone will be rooted in like 30 40 secs.You can do that even with locked bootloader that was my case if u want that program google it or contact me ill sent it to you.About .62 update root there are many tutorials about it just search the forum and u will find qite alot
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel_.:
Thanks a lot (Lusterboi too). I've a few questions left.

How you can downgrade to .42? Do you need a program and where can I get it?

And you are saying that this is the easiest way to root your phone, but is it the best too?

I mean, I've heard from 'CyanogenMod' and 'Doom Kernel', but what is the difference between this way and CyanogenMod or Doom Kernel? Or aren't that root programs?

And in ± 2 weeks Android ICS comes for the Xperia Arc S. Is ICS compatible with rooted phones ?
