[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] LolaGeek:
Thank you so much for your very thorough responses! I am happy to report that since making a few little changes (turning down my screen brightness, turning off the background data sync), performance is already noticeably better. Yesterday I was on battery power for close to 14 hours, was on and off WiFi, talked on the phone probably a couple hours total, and used it what I would consider a "normal" amount (e-mail, photos, some social networking)... and still had ~50% power left by the time I went to bed. That is much more reassuring to me, and I can only assume performance would get even better once I get those new batteries.

I understand about the "bloat" and having all these extra things running, but I think doing anything with the ROM is a little above my expertise at this point. For now, things seem to be working reasonably, so we'll see...

I like the external charger idea, but I am going to hold off for now. I ordered the 2-pack of Anker batteries, so once I get those, I'll have 3 batteries. One should be fine for a normal day, and if I'm really going to be out for a while and not have any opportunity to recharge, or will be using the phone a lot, I could just bring along a spare or two. (Good thing I am a lady with a purse - what do guys do?! Carry a man bag? My husband is considering getting the same phone, so this is a valid concern.)

I'm apparently too new to post a link to 2x Battery, which I've seen mentioned elsewhere on this board, but that's the name if you want to look it up in the Android Market. Even if it is using a little more battery power, I think it's worth it. It puts controls for things that use battery power all in one place, and it makes it very easy to monitor the current battery status. I think I'll stick with it, at least until I get a better sense of how my use affects the battery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Per the question of a man hauling batteries, I just carry a spare battery or two I'm my front pocket. If I am carrying keys I will slap a piece of tape accross the terminals to prevent a short. One or two guys carry their spare gear in a camera case. I can haul most all I need in a corner of my Levi's front pocket.

I also used to run Juice Defender, it got irritating waiting for the data connection to spin up and the benefits were outweighed (IMHO) by the downsides. Killing data every time the screen turns off was grim.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I have a zipper case I keep the phone in, and it's not much larger then the device itself. Above and beyond keeping dust out ( primary function ) it also has a small pocket on the outside I keep a few knick-knacks in, like a retractable micro-usb cable, backup memory card ( recovery purposes) mini flash drive and spare battery.

I highly recommend some kind of small zipper case for the device to keep out the dust, best $10 investment I've made for the phone.

Not in a position to link pics at the moment, but I'll do so over the next few days when I get the chance - especially floating loose in a potentially dusty purse it's something to consider.

I wish the video cable was something I could cram in to it as well, but that presents too much bulk for it to work, I have a mini camera case I carry sometimes with the A/V cable, AC adapter, another micro-usb cable and some memory cards and flash drives - something to consider for yourself for carrying cables and such since you most likely have room in your purse for a mini camera case with such things.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] LolaGeek:
Thanks for all the carrying tips!

I'm not really worried about my own phone, it has its own little pocket inside my purse, and I don't know what kind of ladies you hang out with, but my purse is not dusty...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Please forgive - I meant no offense by it.

I threw in the word potentially because while I have seen some pristine purses, i've also seen some which haven't been vacuumed out in a long time, if ever. The very fine dust that gets in during the course of normal travel is what our enemy is here. (...and yours may be vacuumed out on a consistent basis, really only you can know.)

This need not just be dirt, even the fibers of the material wearing off in tiny fractions of an amount from simply carrying it around (material rubbing against material as it's shape stretches, bends and contorts) is enough to be a hazard to the device. Over time this adds up.

(though, saying it has it's own pocket/pouch within the purse itself lends a good deal more protection and paints a much better picture then the previous blanket statement of 'in my purse')

Due to the slide mechanism and the exposed back of the LCD screen it is very easy to get dust under the screen, in between the layers of it.

Slide it open with the screen at max brightness, then flip it over. Look at the very end of the slide channels on the screen side, from an angle on the side. You will be able to clearly see the light shining through opposite the T-Mobile branding on the backside of where the genius button is. Look past the greenish tint and see the whitish light, noticing how it extends inwards.

You can now look at the other side, right by the T-Mobile branding in the same spot and though you can't see the light shining through, you can see how very fine dust can work it's way in between the digitizer and screen.

'Dust under screen' is something that people who post here at XDA have made warranty exchanges over, as well as who knows how many who don't post have done. It's a valid exchange gripe that is in fact covered under warranty from what the people who have posted about it have led us to believe. There are also plenty of 'dust under screen' doubleshots on reduced price on ebay that you could look up this very moment.

Again, I meant no offense, but was simply trying to use the situation presented to illustrate a potential hazard your new device could fall victim of. Hopefully by bringing it to your attention you can take steps to minimize any damage, or at least present you with the opportunity to later be in a situation of:

'Oh well, at least I knew it was coming'

...as opposed to:

'Wow, I wish I knew that could have happened'

We only wish you to get the best experience possible from your Android, and while there is a lot of important info here...'tis easy to become overwhelmed by it all and miss some of the important things that could help you immediately, or should be known immediately.

Glad to hear you are already in better straights over the management of your available power!

By the way - thanks for endeavoring to clarify the app you were using for battery management, i'll definitely scope it out when I get a chance.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] LolaGeek:
None taken, I just thought it was funny :)

Thanks for the tips about dust, though. That wasn't something I had really considered, though I'm hoping to get a bit more life out of this phone than my last few (cheap, and switched on a whim), so I'll be sure to keep things clean. Is it ok to spray the back of the slide-out with some compressed air, or could that cause other problems?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] LolaGeek:
Little update:

I did use a little compressed air to clean out the back of the phone, so hopefully I didn't hurt anything.

Two different cases are on their way to me - I'll see which I like more and return the other.

I've had the Anker battery in for just a couple hours, and it's already amazing! I've been using the phone a decent amount, turned on notifications and everything I'd switched off, and it's still at 100%! Also feels much cooler than the other battery. It was a tight fit, like everyone said, but I did get it in and fit the back cover over it.

But, weird thing: when I turn the phone sideways, the screen no longer rotates. It will still rotate if I slide the keyboard up, but otherwise it's like it doesn't recognize that the orientation changed. Did the battery mess something up?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
The screen didn't rotate on it's own unless you slid the keyboard out if you are using the stock launcher - you may have made the same mistake I did in thinking it was so, but it wasn't.

Home screens, in the app drawer...etc... not made to auto-rotate.

You just happened to finally realize it - same thing happened to me.

I even argued against it, and couldn't figure out why it was changed.

A while later while I was going through the code that comprises Rosie (sense launcher) I actually saw that it wasn't made to do so.

So no, the battery didn't mess this up, it's the way it was supposed to be.

The reason for it is there is an alignment issue with some widgets when it switches from portrait to landscape in Rosie. I'm not sure how to fix it the way they have it coded, i've been scratching my head on this one for a while and tried a few things with no success.

HTC could learn a few things from some aftermarket app designers ( like the team that made GO launcher, for instance)

The way they built it, I don't think it's possible to fix their mistake, it's too interwoven and embedded in the design of the code.

Edit - it still and always has, autorotated while you are in apps themselves if they support it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] LolaGeek:
Oh you're right! That's funny, I never noticed before. In other apps, the screen does rotate normally, so I guess all is good...

Going on 12 hours with this battery, with all notifications, synching, etc. turned on, and I'm still at 67% ... And this is right out of the box, without the 4-5 cycles they recommend. I'm very happy with it so far!
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShavedWild:
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader on my Legend using the HTCDev unlock guide, however I can't get past the initial update. It says "wait for bootloader..." before giving error 170 or 171 (USB connection) yet the cable is still connected. I have USB debugging on, and "adb devices" shows the phone connected and not offline, however "fastboot devices" lists nothing when in the fastboot screen on the bootloader. I can't see where I've gone wrong here as I have all the requirements listed by HTCDev, I have the correct ROM (3.14.161.1) and HBOOT v1.00, and I've checked again and again that I have downloaded the correct RUU.

What can I do?

Edit: Never mind, I was being stupid and didn't try other USB ports.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] needspractice:
Is the Galaxy Note coming to the Sprint Network? Will it be 4G LTE?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pfer10:
Wouldnt mess with it because lte will take forever. I left sprint after 14 years was tired of waiting for 4G. Once i saw they were starting over with LTE I said forget it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rayandreas:
+ 1

stay away if your not already in a 4g area. for me, nothing but false hopes and promises...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
LTE is a double edged sword... everyone thinks its a standard and simply having it is good.. but with 21 distinct freq bands the whole "standard" thing is massively overrated.

Sprint has favourable coverage of wimax vis the other 4G networks, but i would suspect that new phones will be targeting their lte bands..which is spotty at best right now.

TBH 4G coverage from any carrier is pretty weak and so I have no interest in a 4G device... for at least another 18-24 months...from any carrier.

If you live in one of the lucky cities and you dont travel, then its a decent choice.. but i dont, and i do.

Sprint is bound to get a phone similar to the Note at some point... but look to S2 and the SGS2E4GT storyline.. late and different. Given that it would be end this year at best its not likely to be the Note as we know it..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
Amen!

8 years here. Up until 18 months ago I was getting 1+Mbps down and then it started falling. Best I was getting was 250kbps and nights and weekends were down to less then 50kbps. I ended up using a Verizon PRL to get data. Never had issues with call quality or dropped calls. The last straw was when I saw the LTE maps and again Sprint stops 20 miles short. I Screwed me out of Wimax and still charged my $10 more and now they were doing it again. I bet Sprint will add another fee for LTE's higher speeds.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] needspractice:
Will that have good 4G LTE? Should I wait for the rumored Galaxy Note? Or should I just get the Nexus 4G LTE?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] needspractice:
Any chance the note will come to Sprint? Or the note 2?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
LTE right now means:

1) ****ty Qualcomm processors (no Exynos until Intel releases XMM7060)

2) Poor battery life - LTE isn't going to be mature for another year or two, it's just like the first 2-3 years of UMTS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
...and no roaming.. ATT LTE not compatible with Verizon LTE not compatible with Sprint LTE note compatible with oh i give up i made my point....lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jesse Jackson:
I just left sprint. I'm in an area with excellent Wimax coverage. But I heard through the grapevine that with lte comes data throttling or pay to use. Same as Verizon did when they rolled out their lte network.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
Ditto.

I was amazed how much clearer and higher quality calls were when I flashed a corporate Sprint PRL to roam Verizon's 3G.

Sprint used to be competitive with their 3G network when I signed up with them but since then, they've neglected investing in their infrastructure and will be supporting 4 different networks until 2015! Absolutely ridiculous!

Their plan pricing was no longer the best, either.

I switched to GSM prepaid and will never again go to CDMA or enter a carrier contract, subsidized phones are not worth their value once contract cost is taken into consideration.

When you root it or flash a new ROM does it give you portable wireless hot spot?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sepharite:
I think there is a burned image on my screen. If I look at an image that fills the screen, I can see the lines going across the screen. They're rather subtle and doesn't really affect my screen on a daily basis, but just wondering if this is a faulty screen?

The status bar on the top is also burned in. There's a blue ghost image on the top.

Is this normal for a OLED screen?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Most certainly not. Sounds like a faulty screen. Is your phone rooted/custom ROM flashed?

If not, send it off to a repair centre.

If it is, flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com through Odin and then send it off.

You need to flash the boot.IMG from inside the rom since we don't have s-off yet

I don't think so since its made for use with an old cpu the HD2 cpu and devices like with the qsd86 board
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I had to upgrade to 5.5.0.4 to flash the ROM. With 5.0.2.7, the phone would just restart in the middle of the installation.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Opentang:
Anyone tried flashing both ROM and boot.img via 4EXT Recovery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dubt17:
Yes, worked perfectly. Turned off while installing the first time, just booted back into recovery and reinstalled, kernel and all!

Status Report:

What works and works well:

-Music Playback (headphones, speaker)

-Graphics (WAY Smoother than any ROM for this phone out right now)

-Gallery (plays back video and shows pictures well / no lag)

-Calculator (Mmmmm, numbers are added and subtracted perfectly)

-CPU management! I can change clocks and governors without it crashing!

-BOTH Internel and SD card

What works almost:

-Movie Studio (opens, loads a project, but can't import video. My guess being the format we recorded in gingerbread doesn't play well with it, but I can watch them fine in the gallery)

What doesn't work:

-Camera (But when I open camera, instead of a force close, it says "Can't connect to the camera", which is nicer than it not opening at all!)

-ANY GSM (NO data, calls, text)

-Wifi (Kernel / hack needed)

-Bluetooth (Kernel / hack needed)

-DSP Manager (I'm guessing libs needed somewhere, because it doesn't force close, it just doesn't effect audio either through headphones or speaker.)

All in all, very stable ROM, and the fastest I've seen yet on this device! Cannot wait for at least GSM functions for a daily driver ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
Who knows and who cares if Sprint or VZW is getting the Galaxy Note? Maybe but I doubt it. Not all the good phones come out on multiple carriers. If you want the Note that bad jump ship to AT&T. And for the life of me I cannot understand why these petitons about bringing the Note to Sprint and VZW keep popping up online cause Sprint or VZW cannot make Samsung let them sell their product, Samsung like all other manufactures of products decide who will sell their product and where it will be sold. People may be able to get banks to stop charging fees for things that were once free or netflix to stop doing their dumb routine by making a petition but they will never be able to influence a company like Samsung to do anything they haven't already planned on doing. You should know that already by how long it took Apple to sell through other carriers. Companies do what they think are best for them when it comes to their bank accounts and if selling the Note exclusively through AT&T through future deals they may have made with AT&T then thats what they will do. I understant everyone wants stuff they cannot have but give it a rest. For all we know they could start selling the Note sometime in the future but if you need it now go to AT&T and get it. You can get it through amazon for $250 with a 2 year contract plus I still think AT&T is the best carrier even with all their faults.
