[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
Hey,

I was trawling the internet for some cheap extended batteries. (my only other experience with them was the official HTC one for the HD2).

I heard someone saying that there is a good 3500mah one going on Amazon for £11. I'm presuming he meant this as it is the first result: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-3500M...A9ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333452409&sr=8-1

After a quick search on ebay I found the same battery for £5.99! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3500mah-H...ltDomain_3&hash=item256aa12a8e#ht_2235wt_1024

But is it any good? Has anyone had any prior experience with unbranded batteries?

Thanks,

Louis
[HTC EVO 3D] sunilromy:
never go for it, no use, this are fake chinese battery, i got one for evo 4g. it was told to be 3500 but it was not even 1000 mah.
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
That is usually true for the batteries that sit inside the original casing, but not the extended ones?
[HTC EVO 3D] sunilromy:
I am saying abt extended one, same battery which you are asking for.
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
What is the 'abt extended one'?
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
I got this on amazon and has been doing calibration with the battery monitor widget and its calibrating out to at least 2500mah. One peculiar thing is the first 40% or so drop by very fast, but then from 50-30 percent it last a lot longer, this has been notice by another poster also. the battery door is also decent, first generation soft touch rubber coating type material and not as ugly as the Seidio door
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
So can you please give me a rough estimate on how much longer this battery lasts? And would you recommend it over the stock battery?

Thanks,

Louis
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
You buy many spare batteries for the amount an original battery costs. One spare battery made in China is about € 2,50.

What the real capacity is doesn't matter, as long it does it job as spare battery, you can always order a second one.
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
Also would it be better to buy the 3500mah and use that as primary. or buy something like this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805

And use it as a secondary battery? Which would provide the best overall battery life?

Thanks,

Louis
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
it come down to if the original battery is not lasting you through 1 day, do you want to swap battery during the day?

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

that is hard to say, because everybody usage pattern is different, but even if its only 2500mah it still comes to 50% more capacity then the stock 1700mah.

Last night charge cycle adjust it to about 2700 mah, I don't think its settle down yet, seem the more charge history the widget collect the more accurate the calibration should be.
[HTC EVO 3D] sunilromy:
Thats true. But, seriously i was not happy with the backup it provides. It was 50% of the oem.

as in for spare this is great. you can also try anker one, its great and cheap.

btw, it was about extended.
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
I can get 4 of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805 for the same price as the Anker?
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Guys dont trust some of these batteries. I bought a few of these similar type batteries cause they were really cheap 2 for $9.99 with charger. This has been discussed to death already. I bought another set of 3x + 1 charger. They didnt last long at all. I peeled the stickers on all of them at they were all had 1000mah stamped on it but the sticker says 1800mah. This has been pointed out here before too. It was a complete waste of time and a hassle trying to get my $ back. Seller didnt bother taking the batteries back. For the total of $20 I spent and headache I couldve just bought and anker or chichitec. Which I did. I bought 2x 1900mah anker + charger for 24.99 a while back and they have been great. Been using them for 10 months now and last slightly longer than stock. I will look for the thread so you guys can do some reading but it did get pretty lengthy. Spend the extra $5 or even $10 and dont go for these cheap batteries.

Here's the thread. Take time to read it and it may be worth your trouble later down the road.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrnand:
Hey guys....

Appreciate any advise any one can give me or share :)

I flashed my GS2 a while ago with a beta version of ICS however found numerous bugs with it that started annoying me so decided to put the latest gingerbread firmware back on.

I found the latest firmware version from my service provider on sams firmware.

Downloaded the firmware

Used ODIN3 v1.85

Left default options (Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time)

Loaded the firmware .tar file as PDA

Booted device into download mode

Started the firmware flash from ODIN

Everything went through fine, received "PASS" and device rebooted.

When the device comes back on the android wizard comes up but as soon as I try to start the setup wizard i start receiving the follow error messages:

"Sorry!"

"The application Software update (process com.wssynccmldm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

"FORCE CLOSE"

If i select Force Close

The next message is the same but says Google Services Framework stopped..

Each time i select "Force Close"

These messages keep appearing not allowing me to complete the setup wizard.

I have also tried a different firmware GB 4.3.6 which has exactly the same issue.

Any ideas guys?

I am desperate and lacking sleep now.... :(

[HTC Sensation] peewster:
Hi all,

i have a question about the phone app.

Every time i receive a call, my phone get's locked, i can't do anything, until the caller hangs up. So i cannot mute or turn on speakers etc.

When i call someone myself, i have to press the powere button a few times to get the caller in the forground so i can enable speaker, numpad, etc..

I'm running OpenSensation, but i have the same issue on all the other aosp roms (ICS)

I did flashed the firmware by mike, so that one should be up to date.

Anyone else having the same issue ?

EDIT

Maybe there is something broken, now i have it on all other roms... too.

Wonder if you can check the sensor status with adb, any ideas ?
[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
Hi guys,

The rom I use (Endymion) comes with Superuser, but I changed to SuperSU. Everything works fine, but now I'd like to clean up and uninstall the old superuser system app. Titamium Backup is too scared to do so, so I have to do it manually.

I deleted all updates to Superuser (like u uninstall non system apps) and renamed Superuser.apk in /system/app/ to Superuser.apk.old. Now it seems to be gone but are there additional files I shall and can safely remove (rename it first and test) for Superuser clean up purposes (R/W rights, Root Explorer or adb shell are manageable for me)?

Thx,

Kwisatz

Hi guys.

Is the antenna on Xperia S bad or what? Im at the airport and cant find any network. Im finding many available networks on the HTC phone, but cant fins any on the iPhone 4.

If I hole my hands on the top of the phone and scan for connections, I fine many networks but dissepares right away.

And the time there is connections its good connections on the available networks.

So what is this? Iphone or what!

Anyone els facing this problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BXM500:
Yeah, I've noticed the same issue that WiFi signal is very low. My Xperia S cannot even detect many networks that my Galaxy S can.

Can the antenna be improved through updates or is this a permanent "isssue"? :/

Perhaps it is a one-off situation in your case?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looloup:
Question's in the title.....

Does it matter which order the different partition types are created in?

If so.... what is the difference.

I have read now a number of different threads related to creating these partitions (usually via gparted) but it is not clear to me if the order is important.

I have set up a card with ext first .... it seems to work, but the card is not readable directly when plugged into a PC - I can read/write when still in the phone via USB.

If the FAT32 partition is first - then could the PC read that directly ... but Android will still find the ext4 at the end?

I would like to find out before my new class 10 card arrives and I set it up.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
if you're using gparted (good choice):

FAT32 first (on the left), ext4 second (on the right), both primary.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryther:
First of all, as stated by eddiehk6, the first partition it's fat32, folowed by ext!

I did the partitioning thing over and over with 4ext recovery (look for the updater app at 4ext.net - i highly recommend this recovery :D) and everything went smooth.

You only need to go to "Tools" when in recovery and use the sd card partitioning command, wich will guide you through the process and set your card; remember to backup your data before doing this, cause it's recommended to do things "from scratch"!

Wich rom do you want to use? For GB the best thing to do is setting only one ext partition, for ICS it's better to add the swap partition too!

GB: when prompted, select 1024 (the standard for almost all roms) for the first ext, 0 for second ext and swap and select ext4 as a fs when prompted; this will set your SD card like this: x MB fat32 / 1024 MB 1st ext4 / 0 MB 2nd / 0 SWAP

ICS: when prompted, select 1024 (the standard for almost all roms) for the first ext, 0 for second ext and 256 for swap (not a must) and select ext4 as a fs when prompted; this will set your SD card like this: x MB fat32 / 1024 MB 1st ext4 / 0 MB 2nd / 256 SWAP. ICS with HWA use more RAM than GB and this may lead to crash and slowness. I'm actually running BCM 3.0U1 without SWAP without problem (and i'm fairly impressed)!

Sorry for my english :P

[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
Hi guys,

I got hboot 2.00.2002 (ENG S-OFF) on my device and don't want to change back to the old ENG hboot, because it's in my opinion not worth the (to be honest small) risk. But my rom (Endymion) is not using the additional partition and the waste of space by not using one partition is giving me a poor sleep :P.

Is there a way by using a startup script or something to make this space usable in a reasonable way? I thought about something like mounting it to /system/lib/ on every startup (like it was thought to be) and copy all the containing files manually once.

Thx,

Kwisatz
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
Frankly, no idea. But just as you said, it's not worth it messing with HBOOT. Just as well, it's not worth it messing with your partition assignments. After all, how much space are we speaking off?

(I'm yet to see anyone use up any partition asides the /system)
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
If you have a problem with the space lost from the lib partition..... Then just use The older hboot.

Flashing the hboot isn't a scary task or that unsafe.
[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
I am just curious if one can do it and wanted to learn something. Mayb someone got an idea or even a solution. I don't really care about the space lost for cache, but have some little more space in /system/ would b nice and interesting to achieve. If noone got an idea, mayb I try to get deeper into it myself.
