[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Thanks for the idea OP. I'll probably give it a shot. I don't really have a huge problem as it is now, but it never hurts to reduce temps a little bit (or spread those temps across a greater surface area).

I get sleepy on hot days.

I agree with you that design flaws happen (to err is human) but the Toyota example is a bad one. It's a lot of media hype. I also believe the fact that Toyota was about to surpass one of NA's biggest and oldest automakers had something to do with the eagerness to FUD sling. Independent research has shown that many of the drivers that claimed their gas pedal stuck had in fact mashed on the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal when they crashed (by checking the black boxes).

One source (I've read others years ago, can't find it): http://www.theautochannel.com/news/...-unintended-acceleration-toyota-vehicles.html

Quotes:

IMO, if one allows the floor mat to stay all bunched up and catawampus, one should not blame the automaker.

But yes, design flaws happen in the real world, JS.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
thanked for using the word catawampus.

also, agreed with the toyota crap. they made my dad go in to cut his damn gas pedal in his tacoma, and he was pissed about it. he flat out said to the guy, there's no reason to do this, i'm not an idiot who lets floor mats get stuck under my pedals like an irresponsible driver. apparently they wouldn't let him get it serviced until that was fixed, or some stupid **** like that. either way, he said it was stupid, and it was a pointless waste of time, to which i agree.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
umm, since when did cars have little black boxes?

to the OP, can you please post pics and describe better what you did? After suing verizon and htc would be fine.

Heat

I am the master of heat on this thing; as anyone who has been on this board since the Rezound came out.

In this case, I recommend the OP also use this; may help:
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
Stop, just stop now. Toyota didn't have a design failure, the US had a media failure. Read up, and you will see that not only could the ntsb not replicate the problem, but Toyota was cleared. The only design flaw that Toyota had was selling to idiots and not making a brake override switch standard. If one can't replicate an issue, then how exactly is that a design flaw?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
ok, just to play, I cut a piece of card stock white paper down to 4.5cm x 5.5cm and placed it under the battery. It fit very well, just didn't cover where there is a small tapered part by the battery contacts. Battery went back in just fine with the cover. Using extended batteries fwiw.

I would post pics but don't have another camera with me at work.

Decided on card stock because I think it will stay in there better than paper. I will monitor the phone temps tonight at work and see if I hit the usual 115 while streaming/gaming. Right now I am at 94F.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
They don't exactly. But some of the newer cars "record" the last five seconds, and if it is involved in a crash it can sometimes be recalled using the manufacturers scan tool.
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
First I don't care at all about the Toyota crap I was just trying to use it as an example that flaws happen. Maybe better example is the stuff that happened when the iphone 4 first came out where the phone had signal issues because of the antenna being on the back of the case or whatever it was. My point is that design flaws happen nothing is ever perfect.

Sent from my ICS Rezound
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
back on topic.

Tried this little trick and didn't work for me. Used a piece of cardstock paper, cut to fit under the battery. Made the cover bulge just a little which I think is messing with my reception, phone seems to want to stay more on 3g.

While using phone my pc while forcing 4g, screen on auto-brightness, I hit 144F.

This is also after flashing the newest kernel (from today's leak). So I guess its a nogo for me at least...

edit, sorry, was 114F. typed it too fast.
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
Wow 144F. That seems definitely too high.

I just call them black boxes because ... it just seems to be the term among us car guys. Not all cars have them and it's not required by law YET, but I think there are groups considering legislating it's requirement...

Now on topic - Yeah, design flaws happen. I think I'm starting to get the LCD leakage that I've heard people talking about. I could always see the 4 light points on the bottom edge if I tilted the phone, but now upon booting I can see light leakage around the bottom and two adjacent perimeters. Lots of light leakage happening. I'm also annoyed that our LED only has 2 colors. And the camera software having too much compression.

Still, I'm happy with the phone for now, barring any significant problems.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
you should install one of those Peliter coolers in the phone. Put it between the phone and the battery and it should keep the phone cool. You will need to most likely get a bigger battery though as the Peliter cooler uses power as well though.

But you can use the new HTC Monther Extended battery for that and you will be set.

:-)
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
the other side of the peliter gets wicked hot, don't want that on your battery!
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Yup

No problem ... just put another peliter on the hot side.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Damnit this just cost me a logitech MK700 keyboard, I spit mountain dew all over this bad boy. The battery was completely reasonable, but I use an Optima Red Top, which also works upside down and doesn't leak fluid, and works fine when I'm in the Arctic circle, I like to drive my prius around up there and hug trees.

To the OP, I think your issue lies elsewhere and you should warranty your phone, because tons of rezounds don't have this problem. However I completely understand where you're coming from, I just think it would be more prevalent if that was the issue. I support a lot of rezounds and if that was causing the over heating, every phone pushed hard without a heat shield or vent would be at least running quite warm if not hot.

The class action thing, I've definitely seen worse but in my opinion HTC replaces WAY too many phones already. I talk to so many people that root their phone, install the wrong crap or break something experimenting, and then call Verizon and have another phone free of charge shipped out, or they have a small bug like data arrows not working on a rom, mention it to a CSR, and because they've been a good customer for a long time, they just drop them another phone in the mail in case its a software problem on that phone.

Of course it all depends on who you talk to and how you talk to them, but I don't see where a class action would get more traction here. I would think you could try and milk another problem somewhere else and be more successful if you're just wanting to sue.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
agree that 114 isn't that bad. My point being that putting something between the motherboard and the battery did not decrease the temps of my phone.

I think the last radios really did a number. Before that I only got up there on temps occasionally. Now, any consistent screen on time will make the phone sit between 115-120 on 4g. On wifi, it sits in the 90's.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
Agreed. 114 is good. According to the email I received from htc, 50c or 122f is max safe operating temp for the rezound
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Dang. My phone has only been to 107 once... It usually never even gets to the mid to high 90s
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
First of all, has the OP never seen the edit button? Seriously...posting 3 post in a row because you can't hit the edit button?

Second...Logic dictates that if you have heat, it must dissipate somewhere. Putting a piece of paper between a "potentially" hot spot of the phone and the battery, isn't going to stop the heat from transferring through.

You would need some form of a heat shield (which paper, card stock, etc. isn't), which would be great, but then it is just going to contain the heat, and if heat can't escape, your devices temp goes up...Which could actually end up being worse?

Cooler battery, hotter cpu/radios... I dk...hard choice of which would be worse...

Personally, I think it comes down to what you are used too. It is like the people getting the iPad 3 where the bottom corner would get to 115 degrees F. My iPad 2 is NEVER warm to the touch, so in that case, having an ipad actually get hot is "crazy and unacceptable."

Those of us who have had android phones, 115 degrees F is nothing.

It is all relative to what you are used too.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
YMMV

When the initial heat debate came up last Nov/Dec/Jan there were people who said their phones never went above 105 and people who said their phones ran hotter. It took me a LONG time to stop looking for ghosts in my phone based on those former people.

The phone will heat if pushed. The phone will heat like a mofo in 1x territory. The phone will heat if you run hires games. It is a 1.5Ghz computer in a closed case. It will get hot.

Now if your phone hits 130 or higher; RMA it.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lo2ay:
Hi all,

I am have some battery life problems for a while. It drains much faster than before. So I am thinking of flashing a RUU to unroot the device and gain S-on, then reroot and S-off.

Will this improve anything or is the only thing I can do is to claim my warranty (after unrooting and S-on of course) and see if it's a faulty battery ??

I've had my wildfire for almost a year (10 months to be exact). I've rooted it after only a week :D

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ErisDev:
Hey guys,

For starters I suck at gui modding on android. I have done a search on google and XDA and have not found anything that suits my need here. Looking for a rosie to replace the arched one that comes with sense. I have the Slate Theme loaded and looking ICSish. However the rosie I want to be a flat semi transparent look that spans the bottom of the screen. Is there an APK I can flash to do this? If now anyone know where I can go to get this done?

Similar to this but not quite as transparent...

V/r,

ED
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
It might be as simple as modding the skin apk. Otherwise there would be some xml edits and some png changes to make in the Rosie apk. I can take a look at it possibly tonight or tomorrow night. Shoot me a pm if you'd like.

Well I've been looking around for an extended battery for a few weeks and I can't seem to find one for it. I don't want the 1750mAh battery. I want a 3800mAh extended battery WITH NFC. Anyone know where I can get one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
NFC capable batteries are usually only made by OEMs. Currently Samsung only offers a 200mAh extended battery and I doubt they will be offering another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
NFC is NOT proprietary. It is a technology used by many manufactures like Samsung, Nokia, RIM, etc.. However, aftermarket NFC enabled batteries are uncommon. Most of the time they are only available through OEMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sum14u2nvy:
So all in all...there's no battery? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
nope. your only choice is the 2000 mah extended battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
Thanks for clarifying. I didn't word my respond properly. Basically what I meant was that an NFC battery would most likely only come from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
no problem buddy :) just wanna clear up any confusion.

btw, OP, you should consider a spare battery alternative instead of an extended one. I have two spare ones and I'm happy :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
Look for the Seidio Extended Battery 3500mAH with NFC for the GSM Galaxy Nexus on their website (seidio online in google).

It's a bit pricey ($69.95) but WELL worth it imo...this battery + one of Franco's kernels makes my Galaxy Nexus have INCREDIBLE battery life (4+ screen time easily per day even with gaming and a lot of browsing on 3G) and NFC works with it too, I tried it personally at McDonalds with Google Wallet and it worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordButtersI:
What would it take to put the nfc antenna on yourself? As in pull it off the stock battery and put it on the aftermarket? Or better yet on the inside of the backplate.

Is that tweezers and soldering gun work or would you need factory equipment?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidDavi:
If I'm correct the chip is in the battery and the other parts are in the back over I say just buy the sedieo one I'm going to by it once I have the cash for it and the extended covert
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sum14u2nvy:
Thanks man! But I ordered a portable charger yesterday. I think I'll try that out before I get an extended battery. Gotta spend my paycheck somewhere you know? ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericsoon72:
Can the original 1650mah battery fit into the 2000mah backcover? Will it become loose?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
The very lightly extended back cover is required as the extended batteries for both GSM and CDMA are physically slightly thicker than the standard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samthe2can:
Sorry, not to do with the OP, but I want to know what the highest capacity battery is that will still fit into original cover?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
Anyone know if there is a battery that is only about 1kmah more than stock? 2kmah doesn't seem worth buying because of the minimal increase in battery life and 3500mah+ is just an enormous battery and would make the phone too bulky.

Well I got the 3500maH battery. I'll see how it looks on my phone and post a review.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sum14u2nvy:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordButtersI:
I'll tell you this: I once bought a 36" TV for $25 on Amazon because someone forgot to put in a zero. I didn't get my TV.

Fact is there's a good chance that $24 is at or below wholesale price. Hell, the supposed msrp of 30 might have been some intern mistaking wholesale for retail. They'll probably apologize profusely and maybe offer a $10 gift card. That's what happened to me at Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sum14u2nvy:
Aw man :(. I was so happeh :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordButtersI:
I actually ended up buying that same 3500 Seidio, from the same online store too, just off Amazon and for about $60. Honestly, it's probably going to end up being worth it. You can get a "3500" mAh battery for about $10, but cheap batteries always lie about their capacity and are inefficient with what they actually do have, so the hyperion or what have you isn't going to actually yield a whole lot more than 2100 mAh. Me, I actually want double capacity, so I sprung for the good stuff.

Of course, if you wanted to be hardcore you could get the Mugen battery. They're even better than Seidio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patrickl:
I've bought loads of third party batteries. Hardly ever had any issues and then only with expensive ones.

The $10 battery I got gives double the capacity of the original.

Only "problem" I have now is that it lasts too long. When the 14% low battery warning comes it can still last a day.

Guess I should figure out if these warning levels can be adjusted somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Which $10 battery did you buy? Is the 2x battery life anecdotal or did you do some kind of test?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unlvmike:
So this will fit perfectly with our phone or is that back door going to add a bit more bulk?

Also, with it will the NGP case from seidio still fit? Thanks I am just looking for a little bit more juice not those big bricks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patrickl:
I bought a 3800 mAh one from eBay. They all look the same.

I tested it by charging it fully and checking the battery chart when it was depleted. Compared that to the same done with the stock battery.

The 3800mAh battery lasts for 3 to 4 hours screen on time over 2 days. Or I get 6 to 7 hours screen on time over a day.

The stock battery lasted between half a day (heavy use) and a day (moderate use). Never got more than 3 hours screen on time from it. So in every way it lasted me half as long.

It actually feels like the 3800mAh lasts even more than twice as long.

The replacement battery lid is starting to scuff though. Some sort if grippy coating on it that gets damaged at the edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sum14u2nvy:
There's also another problem lol. I have a white GNex. They only make grey extended covers :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheeze[iT]:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordButtersI:
Just spray paint it. Painting a phone is hard but a battery cover is effortless. Just put it on a newspaper outside and spray.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sum14u2nvy:
That's a good idea...hmm...now to find a color that matches the phone lol. Ceramic white is the closest.

EDIT: But if I spray paint it, it'll cover the Google and Samsung logo :(.

Onite Extended Battery with NFC

I ordered an Onite 3500 mAh battery with cover that supposedly has NFC. I have been using this in the back country so can't try that, but I can say that I can get alwmost two full days of use with GPS tracking (and week signals in some places) and still have 10-12% left. I thought it would be bulky, but it really isn't. I ordered from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085TWHXQ/ref=cm_cr_mts_prod_img, no problems. They say they still have a few in stock. So far I'm very pleased with the purchase. With a soft shell, it still fits securely in a Seidio Surface Holster.

Con: It is very hard to get the back off. Don't like the Samsung closure method, so I'm probably just biased.

Two thumbs up for this one.

it appears to be the same battery but it is from a different retailer. I've written a review and that one's not mine. My retailer only had a few left so maybe they are sold out. Even at twenty bucks, I think the battery is a good deal.
