I noticed that when you're in the dialer and you click on a contact (in the keypad section) you cannot slide left to text, or right to call; but you can do this with the other tabs (Logs, Favorites, Contacts). Is there a way to fix this? It seems kind of odd to not include that function on the dial pad itself.

Because you have the call button on the bottom, I really don't think you need IMO is nice in the contacts tho

Hey guys,

I'm on Sprint and just got my Gnex on Saturday (Upgrade from Evo3d)

I didnt let it go two hours on ICS before flashing Jellybean so I've never used NFC or Google Wallet.

I was at a walgreens the other day and wanted to try wallet and it didnt seem to work. considering I havent used it before I dont know if I was doing it wrong but it doesnt seem hard.

I turned on the screen and held the back of the phone to the reader.

Anyone know if this works on the Sprint JB rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jelliottz:
I can tell you my experience at Walgreens with a GSM Nexus. Tap your phone to the reader, then input your pin, then tap again and hold, tap screen to confirm payment.

It works for me on JB. I would assume sprint would work just fine too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shalkith:
Do I have to have the app open or just the screen on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Just the screen on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tlogank:
I've Google searched this before, after I stood there like an idiot trying to get my phone to scan. I don't think the cashier even believes that is a real option. Anyway, when I searched about it, I found out that most Walgreens don't even have the NFC active for some unknown reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Yep.

Walgreens in my area did the same exact thing.

And same scenario the lady was just like "uh..."

"Is this thing not turned on?"

"Yeah, it works."

"Humn [knowing for a fact that my NFC works perfectly] has anyone used it."

"No those mastercards never really went anywhere"

And now she thinks I'm an idiot :p.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Awesome. Thanks for testing. When I bought my Sensation used, it came with one of the "Generic Chinese Clones"

I carry extra batteries in my back pocket, and when I pulled that one out, the sides fell apart. I peeled away the wrapper and found that it's supported structurally by flimsy plastic all around, held together by the wrapper. The actual battery was a lot smaller in footprint. Nothing like an Anker I took apart.

Curious to see the rest of the results :good:
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
Me too actually!

I went on a bit of a buying spree today. Since I needed ~10 cells anyway, I figured that I might as well make them all different, and get some useful data for everyone out of the purchase. I have a few more here to test, but the bulk of them will trickle in with the mail. The Ankers will arrive first because I purchased them from a Canadian source.

I'm a lot more hooked on this project after seeing the Red & Yellow cell spec out at just 570mAh!. That's down in the range where it's probably distorting a lot of peoples' perceptions about energy efficiency on their phones. Even if you realized that a cheap cell wouldn't measure up to 1850mAh, I bet you'd still expect at least 1000mAh. Heck, in my most skeptical mind, I didn't expect 570mAh.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
What discharge rate are you applying? What is your testing method? Curious if placing a high load if there's a refractory period. Then again, I've seen some disgusting high discharges naturally when the screen is on and someone is the background is misbehaving. Talking about a 1A charger not even being able to keep up. Didn't think that was possible
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
I'm discharging into a 10 ohm (50W) resistor, so the amperage is V / 10. That means that the discharge rate changes slowly throughout the process, and is highest (~420mA) when the cells are fully charged and at their highest voltage, and is lowest (~280mA) when the cells are almost discharged and at their lowest voltage.

The metering device monitors the voltage and amperage in order to track the total Ah as the discharge progresses, so there's no reason to need a constant discharge rate. That said, I didn't want to discharge the cells too quickly. I figured that the range of ~280 to 420 mA should be an appropriate discharge rate.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Indeed that's a fair discharge rate. I've seen way higher discharges using the phone "normally"

Those results may then even be more "generous" than real world, since I've never seen my phone make it below 3v before dying (not talking about gracefully shutting itself down either).

Have you let the discharged batteries rest a bit and then taken any additional voltage measurements (under load and not?) to determine any refractory period (I know a 300-400ma load is nothing unusual, but idling, the load would hopefully be far less). Of course, that'd do no good if you had low battery and powered up the screen and tried to make a call only to have it drop dead.

I'm actually trying to make an "aesthetically pleasing" battery belt with hopefully enough charge to go a week without recharging the belt. That and it needs to be comfortable and functional as a belt. And relatively cheap. And if it's doable, I'm tempted by the idea of a powermat built into a belt holster, or a pocket powermat. Because in all honesty, that's the only "legitimate" application of a powermat IMO that wouldn't just be a gimmick. When I'm at my desk, I have no qualms plugging in my phone. Of course, then I'd have to look into the inefficiencies of the powermat

I'm trying to decide / play with the idea of having 12 rechargeable AA's (1.2v*12=14.4v) and using a cigarette lighter-usb adapter (figure 14.4v down to 0.9v*12=10.8v for discharged state would be within what the adapter can handle / realistic car voltages). That or running straight up 4 to 5 * 1.2v for 4.8v to 6v and however many sets in parallel and hoping for a direct usb connection. I don't think that'd work as well, since assuming 0.9v discharged, that'd be 3.6-4.5v, which would not do. I suppose I could develop some charging circuit along the lines of the mintybox etc, but simplicity would be nice (and laziness in just using the cig adapter, although I wonder about efficiencies again). I'd be looking at shorting the d+/d- pins for max charging current.

Sorry for the off topic nature. I got carried away. But maybe you have some nice ideas. I never went through with the EE major, so my background is not that strong.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
No I haven't. That would be a bit more work than I'm up for putting in (and perhaps not really with a huge practical benefit). I opted for a slow discharge, thinking that it should take 4 to 6 hours at the rate selected. It's just a "dumb discharge", but I think it's a reasonable approximation of what you'd see if you just sat down and used your phone till the cell went dead.

Regarding your belt idea, that's a neat one. If it was me, I'd line the belt with a whole lot of small ~200mAh Lipo packs. That would allow you to retain flexibility (particularly at the points between cells, which would flex). You could probably fit 30 of them around the circumference (depending on your waist size). I'd probably parallel them in series packs of 2, so that you ended up with a nominal voltage of 7.4V. You could use a small bucking step-down circuit to turn that into 5V out for a micro USB connection. A buck circuit capable of 1A would be small, cheap, and efficient (you can even find them on eBay).
[HTC Sensation] Wurmzz:
Hey nice thread! I'm very interested in seeing how much capacity all those other batteries actually contain. That one with 500 something is crazy!

I just bought an official HTC Sensation XE battery from the HTC store, they might be more expensive but I went for it for the sake of reliability.

Thanks for the thread, keep it up!
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Will certainly be interesting to see what the ever popular Anker comes out at.
[HTC Sensation] Wurmzz:
I've seen another thread that tested that, it actually came out to around the size of the default XE battery around 1700
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
Thinking that I *must* have done something wrong, I fully recharged, and then fully retested that 570 mAh cell again last night. The second test was essentially unchanged. I wasn't going to ever use the pack again, so I completely stripped the cell from the casing, and to my surprise, the cell itself was as large as it could be. So clearly the volume of the cell isn't the determinant (or at least not the only possible determinant) of capacity.

I'm interested too. It doesn't need to be 1900 mAh dead on, to still be a great choice. Once this dataset grows a bit, I'm going to graph the claimed vs measured, as well as the "mAh per Dollar". It's funny, as bad as the 570 mAh cell was, for $4, it actually still beats the "mAh per Dollar" of an OEM replacement from HTC ;)

On that note, the next cell that I'll add to this list (until the 8 or so that are in the mail arrives) is the stock HTC EVO 3D OEM cell. It has a higher rating from HTC (1730 or 1750 from memory) than the OEM Sensation 4G cell, but looks otherwise indistinguishable. I'll be interested to see how those two compare. I'll have that data later today.
[HTC Sensation] leoknegt:
I have a Anker li-Ion 1900 mAh... its really works... Very nice bat!!:D
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
Quick update:

- Added the Original EVO 3D test data

- Added some graphs, which I will continue to update as more cells are tested
[HTC Sensation] chrisund123:
Liking this thread! Would be great to see how some of the more premium (mugen?) batteries stack up. I'm definitely interested in getting a new battery so will keep watching this thread.

Nice work.
[HTC Sensation] Wurmzz:
Hey for this battery:

Original HTC EVO 3D Cell

You mentioned that it's not sold anymore, so I was wondering how old this battery was when you tested it cause I heard old batteries even if never used before, will lose it's maximum charge over time.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
It's not that old, and it hasn't had much use. I don't know when they discontinued the EVO 3D, but it must have been within the last few months.

I would also add (I had this in the OP before, not sure when it got edited out) that all of the batteries being tested are new. The exception are the two factory/OEM cells, which are not new, they're the originals. They're not very old, nor have they been used much, but they're not strictly new. I'm not planning to buy and test brand new replacements of the factory cells for a couple reasons:

It's not an efficient use of resources. The $50 that a factory/original cell would cost could pay to test a whole lot of other cells instead.

I don't distrust HTC. I'm not suggesting that all OEM's are above exadgurating claims, but I frankly don't think it matters much if they did. Very few people here are going to seriously consider purchasing a $50 replacement cell directly from HTC even if they measured up to claims perfectly. They're by far the worst on the mAh per dollar value scale.

The not-quite-new cells actually seem to be pretty close to on-target. Given that, I don't doubt that if they were absolutely perfectly new, and if my testing pattern perfectly conformed to whatever testing pattern HTC and/or the cell maker had used in rating the cell, that we'd match up.

The thread may be boring for a week or so while I wait for the post - but I haven't disappeared, nor has my interest in spec-ing this all out. I've got 7 different cells in the mail to me now, ranging from super cheap, to decently high-end. The testing rig is ready to go as soon as the mailman brings me something to try out. (I'll probably do a full charge / discharge / charge before actually testing)
[HTC Sensation] kbm15:
I have those 570 baterries bought from dealextreme and i can confirm that battery life is extremely poor. But for 8$ a pair...
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
The 570s are next to useless. If they were free, I'm still not sure I'd want them - out of sheer frustration at having to swap and charge them so frequently. Frankly, the "Fake 1800mAh" cells that actually spec out at 1000mAh, for $3 on eBay, are looking like a fairly good value to me.

I'm trying to separate the principled objection I have to false advertising, from the reality of true mAh per dollar. It's frustrating/ethically objectionable to know that a cell is intentionally mislabeled. At the same time, I'm trying to focus on the hardware, not the (potentially shady) business decisions behind the hardware. Right now, the fake 1800s seem like a good mAh / $ ratio, with a true capacity that is not so low that it forces constant swapping.

But, I've really only tested 2 aftermarket cells, and I now have almost 10 more en route. So my perspective is likely to change as more data comes in.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
NEW CELL ADDED:

The "Gold" battery was the first of the new batch to arrive, and I finished the testing on it this evening. The 2450mAh claim was obviously far fetched, so I had no particular expectations going in. Ultimately, the cell tested at 1420mAh.

I have mixed feelings on this one. It clearly undershot its claimed power by over 40%. At the same time, it is still a 1420mAh cell, which puts it almost on par with the stock Sensation battery from HTC (for a whole lot less money - just $6.45 shipped).

At the end of the day, I think that if this cell had been advertised as"1420mAh", and sold for the same $6.45, we'd have no bones about calling it a good value. It taints my view of the cell than they so blatantly overblew its claimed capacity, but as I've said before, that was a "business decision", and I'm just trying to evaluate the physical cells, void of any non-technical drama :)

More cells to come!
[HTC Sensation] cooljoe226:
How long have you been using this battery?
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
I haven't been using it. All the batteries (except for the two OEM / Factory cells) are being tested as new. That's why they'll trickle in slowly; I'm waiting for most of them to arrive.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
Here's a shocker. An under-rated cheap cell from China!

The latest edition to the list was a $3.45 (shipped) cell from eBay. It is rated at 1520mAh, and actually tested higher at 1710mAh. I put the serial number in the list data, because since these serial numbers on cheap cells seem to be bogus (not unique to the cells) the numbers may actually help in differentiating batches of cells from other batches. This one was basically a black unbranded cell

So on the bright side, this cell is a pretty clear winner that will be tough to beat on any metric. It's almost the cheapest cell I'll be testing, so mAh per $ will be hard to crack. But even in absolute terms, 1710mAh is a pretty good showing. So I'm going to grab a few more.

On the other hand, it may be fairly difficult to know with certainty how to re-order this cell. It's a cell that I've seen pictured from a lot of different sources on eBay, and the label is fairly generic. I'm going to order a few more myself. I would *love it* if there was another person with the ability to do a second test on an independently ordered cell. (I can even toss you the $3.45 to cover the purchase as a thanks for helping out). 1710mAh for under $4 is pretty darn economical, and I'd like to know if it was a fluke, or if it's sustainable.

To make matters even more humorous, the label on this cell is backwards! The + and - indications are NOT lined up with the actual battery contact terminal.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
The "Anker" cells (2 of them) arrived today, as did a cell called an "Aoonen".

The Anker is on the discharge rig right now, and it's looking promising. So far it has discharged a bit over 1300mAh, and the cell voltage is still at 3.65V under the load. I would think, just based on previous cells and when they hit the 3.65V mark, that this guy probably has another hour of juice in him, implying that it might get pretty close to its 1900mAh rating. But time will tell shortly :)

I'll update the thread with results once both the Anker and the Aoonen have been completely tested.

EDIT / UPDATE: The Anker hit 1710mAh. I'll officially update the OP and the charts once I have the Aoonen data (probably tomorrow morning, because I'm getting sleepy). Since I have two Anker cells, I may test them both, to see if there is any variance.
[HTC Sensation] chrisund123:
1710 for the Anker? Good going, that's 300 more than the stock battery! Over 20% more than the measured capacity of the stock battery.

And all for ten quid lol.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
** Two more batteries added to the OP **

No, not bad at all. The Anker held up fairly well.

It's funny that the claimed "1520" cheapo $3.50 generic actually tied the Anker. The problem with the generic, is that it's pretty tough to tell someone to "go buy the black generic chinese clone with fake serial number 21YD114J004803". It's a lot easier and more predictable to "buy an Anker". Out of sheer curiosity, I'll probably re-order a second $3.50 black generic cell, from the same source, to see what I get. But I think for the time being, the Anker is looking like a good option.

What I would hope to find, is something that approaches the mAh-per-dollar ration of that generic black clone cell, but does so in a branded cell that would be a little easier to consistently purchase. I've still got 4 or 5 more cells coming in, and I think they're all branded (no more generics). So hopefully there will be some more interesting data joining this thread this week and next.
[HTC Sensation] chrisund123:
Yes, consistency is a key selling point of the Anker - you know what you're getting!
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
Just updated the Anker spec. I purchased two of them together, so I decided to test the second cell. It varied (positively) quite substantially from the first cell. It measured 1790, while the first cell had measured 1710. I'm surprised by the variance, as these both came from the same source (from the same 2-cell package in fact).

For the OP and the graphs I'm going to use the mean capacity of the two cells, 1750mAh.
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
thanks for taking the time to measure all these batteries! good work:)
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
No problem :)

I've started weighing them on a digital scale also. With the exception of the two cells that were just horrible (the 560mAh and the 970mAh), all four of the most recent cells tested were within the range of 50 to 52 mAh per gram of weight.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Thanks for the testing!!

Do you have the ebay listing for the el cheapo $3.50 clone? I'm pretty interested in picking up a bunch.

I soldered two Ankers together (+ and -) and while it seems to work, the battery percentage is completely screwed. I suppose I need to look into the 3rd lead to see if there's something I can do. I definitely wouldn't mind picking up $20 worth of these 3.50 batteries ;)

Very key information!

If I do get a bunch of them, I'll try to do some testing on them as well. I wonder how the consistency is. I remember getting 3 cheap ebay batteries for a different one. One battery lasted a bit longer than OEM. The other two only had around 2/3 the capacity of OEM. Not exactly great QC. In terms of longevity, after a year, the two bad ones lasted around half the time of the OEM (assuming relatively even usage across all 4 batteries), and the "good" one was still at least as good as OEM.

But for $3.50, I could get 6 for roughly the price of 2 Ankers.
