Here is my thing about batteries. Last summer when I was on the hunt for an amazing lipo battery that would make my rc car run the fastest,coolest, longest right. Well them batteries were about 60 bucks, but what I had found through my research was there were only about 4 companies world wide who produce lipo-cells, so why waste 60 bucks when I could get a 2-cell for 12 bucks. Well it only lasted the summer because I wasn't very responable with it but its perfomance was on par with the more expensive batteries and so was temp ect. It don't have to cost the most the be effective, sometimes I feel this blacknightavalon works for mugen, because I promise you people 100 for a phone battery, they seen you coming

And yeah, I've no doubt Mugen makes good batteries. But the fact that you *must* buy from them and nowhere else in order to get any sort of service makes them a bit shady.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I would never move to f**king China. Not unless they got rid of their Maoist regime. No, I just know a good battery when I'm using one, and I think the Ankers are pretty good too (as long as you order the two-pack with the wall charger).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wjcarpenter:
The battery cover in the Amazon picture is clearly not for a MT4GS, but maybe it's just the stock photo they use for all this company's batteries.

Anyhow, for $20, I took a chance.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
The company as a whole seems to make quality batteries, so I doubt they would skimp on our phone. And it is an actual company, not a "no name generic" battery. And as I said before, if you look up batteries for other phones from the same company, they generally have great reviews

Good point on the picture. That battery cover does not seem to fit our phone, which means the picture is a stock picture.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
im confused, i googled mugen battery and 2 different links come up. not sure which is the official link.

1-http://www.mugenbattery.com/search.php?search_query=mytouch+4g+slide&x=0&y=0

or

2-http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/

Just got it in. The pic on Amazon is a file one. This battery and the cover will fit, but it's charging up right now. I'll test it tonight.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Could you post pictures when you get it all set up?

Personally, I'd go for a slim extended battery if they offered it, otherwise it won't work with the dock. Still, if this works well, for 20 bucks it's a no-brainer.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
It's still on the charger. It came in damn near dead.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] 2G1J:
I've been looking for a cheap extended battery since I ditched the G2. I had a $15 3500mAh eBay battery on it and it worked just fine. I'll probably order this after I hear what y'all have to say about it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I FINALLY put my battery in. I'll check back in once it reaches about 5% and post a screencap of battery usage tomorrow morning. If you have a Mugen, you can use its battery cover for this thing. Best of all, no battery icon with a question mark (like the Evo3D's battery).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I don't get it, so is the battery cover the same size as the standard cover, or one of those that makes the phone thicker?

Yes some pictures of how the phone looks with the battery in and cover on would be nice
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Any 3000+mah battery will need a new cover as they are way thicker than stock batteries
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
The battery cover that comes with this one is one that makes your phone bigger.

Also, so far...

Up time: 7:17:00

Light-moderate usage

Charge: 91%

SetCPU was set to 1620-1674, now set to 810-1512 ondemand

Keep in mind that this is on the first charge and I'm "training" the battery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
Can u post some pics
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
After I get more use out of this battery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
No I mean of the battery on the phone I wanna see how big it is
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
It's about twice as thick as the Anker battery. I'll post a pic comparing battery sizes between the Anker, the Mugen, and this in the morning.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Okay, I left my Mugen in my locker at work. When I go in tonight I'll snap a picture.

Anyway, it took about 18 hours of moderate use before the battery got to 3%, and the phone even had to reboot once. At that time of the screenshot, I was spending most of my time on a GBA emulator. The Qcell is currently on the charger.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Oh wow now thats some juice! As much as you talked about the mugen made it seem like you loved it, and i see why now you have all the extended batteries so you can make a damn good judgement call on em. I think ill take the cheap road for right now because im still not overly impressed with the phone you know but thanks for the pics and getting everything tested for us.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I had the Qcell on for 13 hours now and after light-moderate usage with the specified voltages it's at 48%. If I knew then what I know now I would have bought 2 Qcell batteries.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
That's not good
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Actually, the QCell seems to hold its own. blackknightavalon doesn't seem like a light user at all, but it still lasts for a pretty long time.

Can you post your setup with the battery? Screen brightness, wifi/mobile data usage, screen on time, and cpu governors?

That would give us a little more insight on how to compare to our own setups. Not everyone runs their phone the same ways...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Data's always on except when I'm sleeping, screen's always bright, cpu governors are as I posted. 40% at 19 hours. This is about as long as the Mugen lasts..

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
If you don't mind posting a pic, what does the back plate look like?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Here's a little basis of comparison. I'm lucky to get five hours of constant use out of the stock battery, I can get upwards of 12 hours of constant use out of the Ankers, and a full day out of the Mugen. So far the Qcell is just like the Mugen.

It's an ugly brown thing. I just use the Mugen back plate.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
By the way...

I just ordered one from Amazon. I picked up an Anker 1900 a couple of weeks ago, and have seen very little improvement over stock as far as run time, though it does run much cooler.

Eager to put this one through it's paces, as I'm not to the point where I want to spend $100 on a Mugen.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I hear you. If I knew then what I know now I would have bought two of these batteries instead of the Mugen (though I don't regret buying the Mugen).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] manimmal:
Just curious. About how long does this battery take to charge?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Just ordered one

:-)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I charge it with the Anker wall charger and that takes about 10-12 hours.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
WOW, that's a lot of charging time...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wjcarpenter:
Hey, now. No complaining. The main selling point for this battery is not any of its electrical characteristics. It's that it makes your phone more hefty as a weapon in case you need to clobber someone with it. :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
If I wanted a light phone that would break on the slightest impact I'd buy an iFail. :p
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] manimmal:
That's fine with me. For the amount of time the battery gives you I'd say its decent!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
I was wondering if someone could post a picture of the phone with the battery cover on that this battery comes with. I don't have a mugen battery cover, so I wouldn't be able to use that instead of the one that comes with this battery, and I want to know what the phone will look like overall with this battery and cover...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Does this battery have a temperature sensor? I know the anker batteries don't, and I ran into a situation a week ago which made me very glad I was running a battery with a temperature sensor.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] onebornoflight:
Just ordered mine off amazon... 2 days. Am I going to need an external charger or will it charge in the phone accurately?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Hi blackknightavalon, did you see these:

? ;)

PHOTOS PLEASE!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Yes I've seen those. :p

As if my praises for both this and the Mugen weren't enough...

And by the way, I DID post pics already. :p
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Of usage and the actual battery, but it sounds like everyone wants a profile view of the phone with the battery in and the backplate on. To see how it looks INSIDE the phone not outside the phone. Everytime someone asks for a pic I keep thinking were finally going to see how it looks then nope its either usage or just a battery pic
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I would move in a heartbeat. But then, that's because my partner is there. I'm about to go spend 3 months in China with my partner (We see each other every summer). Shanghai is an amazing city, I love it there. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Well while your there take us all some pics. I mean I'm personally never going to leave U.S soil and the doubleshot camera is amazing so some pix would be awesome.

Jkilo is now stationed in Korea and I look at the pics he has posted and wow what a difference it is over there. But very cool to look at
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
I like travelling and seeing other places too (yup, Shanghai is amazing!) but I love my home the most :)

Praises are understanadble, but, umm... you DID NOT! :D

You've posted only battery pic.

We want to see THE PHONE, (with) THE BACK COVER!

I emailed the ebay seller myself asking for pictures, but he replied they don't (and he won't take!) any pictures of this back cover for me :(

So yeah, I believe you, it must be very ugly if the seller himself refuses sending out any photos of it, probably being afraid customers will run away and won't buy it :rolleyes: BUT WE STILL WANT TO SEE IT!

pretty please?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
The first one is the cover we all have. The second is the QCell cover, and the third is the Mugen cover.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
THANK YOU ;)

It doesn't look that ugly, I would be worry about the step there, how does it feel when you hold it?

On the other hand, that "step" might actually have advantage over the Mugen's cover.

I know Mugen batts are excellent (had couple of them for other phones) but I decided against it because I think their cover - without that step - will block the incoming sound for the camera's microphone (which is located just by the camera lens IIRC, and most likely it is at least blocked or "buried" in the Mugen's cover, thus recorded sound might be muffled).

If its not much to ask: can you record some videos with Mugen cover and that "ugly brown with step" cover, and compare the sound in both?

I would give you thank you, but I still don't see "thank you" button :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
That is so weird. No idea how you don't have a thank you button. You sure you're logged in when you try?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Maybe he's on a mobile forum client, but Tapatalk has a thanks button.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] adrenalinemedic:
I just got mine in the mail from Amazon about an hour ago.

Battery inserted just fine (unlike Anker, which took some force). Back cover is ugly, a kind of grey/khaki color. It feels cheap too; I much prefer the texture of the stock battery cover. I'll probably paint it. It does feel better in the hand whilst typing, and the "step" makes it easier to pull out of a pocket if the "step" is pointed up. Much easier to pinch that and pull it out than try and grab the whole (much thicker now) phone, especially when seated.

I put it on my car charger with the phone on, it started charging just fine. There were no issues with being recognized by the phone. I shut it down and put it on the wall charger (stock corded micro USB), and the charge light slowly blinked on and off for about ten minutes, and then went steady.

It started at 71%, dropped to 67% in about 20 mins of being in my pocket and some facebook checking. We'll see how it performs after some full charge/discharge cycles.

So far the only downside is the color/texture/feel of the battery cover. Can anyone source a different extended battery door? I've been looking, but not finding.

I'll check back in later with more info.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Just got mine today, should I clear the battery stats bin before or after putting the battery in my phone and charging it?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Where is the battery stats bin and what does it do? (Im guessing it keeps track of battery usage?)

And I have same question too (should I "clear this bin" too, regarding my current testing of the "Gold" 2450 battery?)

I know. I removed all plugins from Chrome and it still doesn't show (but i see i.e. "quote" and the other buttons beside it).

I'm using IE now (and the button is there) just to add those "thank yous" I wanted to at the morning... I hope I didn't miss any :(

Maybe I have to reinstall Chrome. Never had such problem. Weird.

Nope, standard google Chrome on Win7/64. And yesterday everything was fine, same Chrome, same windows session, I haven't even restarted this computer

--

edit:

Reinstalled Google Chrome and it is still the same. I guess something is stuck in my "User" data files (like remnants of AdBlock? because portions of many webpages are not showing, i.e. I noticed now I don't have ads in Chrome even though AdBlock is not even installed now)

When I'm using IE and Opera I see everything and there is no problem.Definitly something weird with my Chrome :(

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
You are using different themes for the sites in both browsers. Not sure if that would make a difference, but that's the only thing I can see

You'll ind theme selection all the way at the bottom of the page. Chrome is running classic, and IE is running XDA 2010
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
You are correct, I didn't notice it. I thought it is just different page rendering by different browsers. I can swear I have never changed "themes", I never change any default settings on any forum, at most I add my avatar if I'm planning to "stay". That is even weirder than my screwed-up Chrome :confused:

edit

After Chrome reinstal and reboot, now I see the "thanks" button in Chrome too.

But every time I select the plugins and cookies to "allow for xda" it is not saved, all the time I have them "crossed" (see the icons in Chrome's address bar to the right). And that is strange too, since I changed the "classic" to "xda 2010" theme in Chrome it sticks, which means the cookie from xda was actually saved on my computer. What the @#%@##@#@#@ !!!!

I have "stepless" covers bookmarked:

BEIGE

BLACK or DARK NAVY this one needs actual color verified with seller, it is described as "DARK NAVY"(!?!) while picture shows black

Also if you want Mugen's back cover just search on their website or email, they do sell back covers separately (though they aren't cheap)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] onebornoflight:
Lamentably they won't sell the back covers without you having already bought a battery previously... web order form asks for battery order number. $14.95 is the price fyi.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
That's why I said they aren't cheap) I've paid few pennies shy of $20 in total (with shipping to Canada). For a piece of plastic it is expensive IMO.

I didn't know they won't sell if you haven't bought theirs battery.

It was a "back cover doesn't hold battery firmly in place so it moves when you open the slider, sometimes disconnecting long enough to shut down the phone" sort of problem. Put a small square of paper between battery and cover - voila! problem solved!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
If I understand correctly: you are describing the "big" battery that came with it's own cover with the "step" where camera is, right?

So, the cover is not only ugly, but it is also not designed well (or manufactured slightly too big) if the battery needs a paper "washer" to fit snugly? :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
That's the only downfall this battery has. I can usually get 26 hours of life out of it.

i have been reading somethings online about this but its so confusing to say the least.

Is there a simple way to sort this out?

also how do i root the 2.3.3 easily as i am confused about that too.

Thanks in advance

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Since it's your first post...

Instructions for rooting the Streak can be found in the Dell Streak Wiki we have here on the site. There are also instructions and much more available in the sticky thread titled "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it." Afterwards, search using the search engine on the site here and read up.

Now, to fix your USB Mass Storage problem, have you installed the drivers on your PC? If you haven't, do so now and see if that changes anything. If that doesn't do it, check to see that your external MicroSD card is properly inserted. On some Streaks that card can wiggle loose in the slot just enough to prevent the card from reading. Regardless of whether you have or haven't done these things I would then switch to a custom Gingerbread ROM, either DSC or Longhorn. I use DSC and have had no issues with getting the Mass Storage to appear.
