The G300 battery pack is good value when compared to the price of a spare HTC battery for the HD2
[HD2 Accessories] Wevenhuis:
I ordered a whole package from Power Traveller including the solar panels. Have not tested it yet on my HD2 but it should all work out. It works well on my other cell phone, mp3 player etc.
[HD2 Accessories] Nighthawk:
Link or photo please.
[HD2 Accessories] Nighthawk:
I just received my items from Expansys, the battery is incredible - really small. To think that the battery can charge the HD2 three complete times on a single charge (2680mAh).
[HD2 Accessories] tex777:
Nice! Did you actually test the 3 times charging? I have something similar with rechargeable AA batteries but because it also runs from the battery while charging I could only get one charge while it had triple power as the phone.
[HD2 Accessories] Nighthawk:
I have let it charge off AC, uses the Mini USB port for this - not micro, for upwards of six hours so far. I am going to test it starting tomorrow, leaving on charge over night. I will drain the HD2 by playing a video as long at it will let me, then if there's any power left I'll just play games on it until gone.

Actually, I'll start in the next few minutes as I hadn't planned on going to bed anyway. :rolleyes:

I'll also stick the screen protector on and see how that goes,

[HD2 Accessories] Nighthawk:
OK, I used the Battery Bank (BB G300) last night to rechage my HD2. After unpacking it and charging for four hours it only would recharge my HD2 one and a half times. According to the paperwork it should charge the HD2 three times.

So, I am going to recharge the Battery Bank overnight and try again.
[HD2 Accessories] gtm55:
The instructions say something about charging 5-6 hours on AC adaptor or 10-11 hours on USB.

By the way I got one too, thanks to Nighthawk for the tip.
[HD2 Accessories] bumskee:
SO is this something like an external battery pack? can you still use the phone while charging through this? (obviously I would assume) so it's just a bigger version of the external battery you hook up through usb if you were on the plane for example. and theoretically replace carrying 3 spare batteries?

oh am I on crack and thinking of something entirely different?
[HD2 Accessories] Nighthawk:
Yes... I tried and it worked... Yes

:)
[HD2 Accessories] Nighthawk:
The HTC screen protector (P300) is really good. I had to line it up along the long edge of the screen, but it wasn't to difficult to get on.

Highly Recommended!

ORA Lil Sync USB Mobile Power Pack version: 4400 mAh

Can you tel me the difference with ORA Lil Sync USB Mobile Power Pack

version: 4400 mAh http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=162963:rolleyes: i orded it but can switch to yours if it is better thanks
[HD2 Accessories] Som30ne:
IMHO

I would have gotten one of these:

http://www.ladyada.net/make/mintyboost/

http://www.fujicom.com/Web/Catalog....=Battaries&ProductCategory=179&ProductId=1089

Both have a universal usb socket that should be able to charge any device,

and - you can use rechargable batteries in it, or, in case of a real emergency,

buy regular AA batteries and just use them.
[HD2 Accessories] Nighthawk:
Well, 4400mAh is a lot more than the HTC one (2680mAh). I personaly like the size and the fact it is an HTC device, but that is just me. If you are happy with what you picked I would stay with it. The only thing I would look for is what the output is. To charge HD2 at full speed you need 1A output, not the normal 500mA that most USB devices use. You can use the 500mA charger, but it takes longer.
[HD2 Accessories] Nighthawk:
The HTC unit has standard USB port as well. The ability to add AA batteries is nice, but I am not in need of this at the moment.
[HD2 Accessories] Archer:

[HD2 Accessories] mrdec:
Just a question, Approximately how long will a spare charged battery retain its charge?

The Batteries are small and now with a higher power one coming out in Jan, it just seems easier to swop out and charge with your unit over night.
[HD2 Accessories] Free Man:
I just received a two pack of these, they are creased so I have to get them replaced, looks like damage in shipping.

I am playing with them and for the life of me cannot get the damaged ones to line up correctly...they are always too far to the left, or right or don't line up by the time you get down to the keyboard cutout!

Anyone have any luck with these and if so what technique did you use?

Will this work for HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000) ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xanotha_1x:
As bad as it is. .. .Me and you are in the same page. The only problem is that I already bricked my first NTT DOCOMO HTC MAGIC(Later on converted to MT3G before I bricked it). Right now, I finally got a replacement from DOCOMO however, those punks came updated the fw already when they give me the replacement. I manage to root my fone via gold card then unrooted again thanks to unlockr.com but then I got caught up messing with the terminal. Just like that my phone just went away. I have a perfected SPL .000006 and with fw of 1.6. This punks keep saying its so easy, I think they're full of crap. Instead of just throwing garbage at you why not be specific in what they talking about. I have tried to load all kinds of recovery images on this thing but no joy. Donut actually has a built in recovery image ( I think it only has like four options, which are purely useless) One last thing that I need to try is probably go back to gold card method but the problem is I havent seen a single one perform this act. Again, I am coming from a stock perfected SPL .00006/official fw 1.6. If you guys can be kind enough to at least lead us the right way, Im pretty sure that we'll handle the rest. Please no garbage reply. Thank you.

VerY good Post I this need to be in the Wiki....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdone:
Ok, that worked, but need a little help from anyone.

I followed these instructions on my MyTouch 3g and did also install the suggested ROM.

However, after installing the rom I realized there are more recent releases out there. If I wanted to install a newer rom do I have to redo each step?

I have CyanogenMod-4.2.13 and update-cm-4.2.13-signed on my spare SD card.

Another question I had (which maybe irreverent at the moment...) after step 17 I did see '“Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 +JF” giving me root access. However, when I did try to install and launch a overclock utility that requires root, it said I do not have root access. Am I missing something?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
I didnt read the steps...However, what you need to do when switching roms is, first of all make a nandroid backup, then perform a WIPE (everything the recovery has to offer is your best bet) and then just flash the rom.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rizoh66:
:confused:I just received a replacement mt3g in the mail and am trying to root it. It came with 1.6 and I have tried both the one click and gold card method. When I try to downgrade to 1.5 by flashing the sappimg I still get the “Main version is older, update fail” error in HBOOT. This is not the new mt3g with the 3.5mm headset port, it is the original mt3g. Please help.:confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rey424:
i have the same problem and i olso tryed the gold card and same problem main version is older

fail

and i had rooted about 12 mytouch already.

and this 1 is a regular mytouch not the 1.2

not sure wht to do....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rizoh66:
I finally got it rooted. I dont know if the goldcard was needed though. But since you have one, it wont hurt to use it. The secret is to not follow the Unlocker tutorial quite yet. Follow this one first: http://xdaforums.com/show...91&postcount=1. Use the ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) and flash the ZIP in HBOOT. After it updates, reboot. This part kinda freaked me out because it loaded the Vodaphone splash and rom. But everything worked out in the end.

So this is where you follow the Unlocker tutorial. Put the Unlockers SAPP image on the root of your SD and flash it in HBOOT and voila your back to 1 point freakin 5!

This took me so many hourly sessions and now I can make a goldcard in 5-10 minutes flat. But I wont...

Let me know if this works or if I just got lucky.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kingamateur:
I've had the pleasure of owning my Kaiser for 9 months now. I had to do a warranty exchange 4 months ago when my texts were doubled constantly. My phone bill was through the roof. I went in to the local store and they called ATT and set up an exchange. Another Kaiser came to my door a week later.

All has been well, until now. My SD card is losing files randomly. I have the stock AT&T Tilt ROM from this last exchange. I "LOVE" my Kaiser, but I'm jealous of the new guys on the block.

My local AT&T store didn't have a cluse of what I would receive with my first exchange and I've just witnessed him shrug his shoulders again when I just approached him with this new problem. I am still under my one year coverage. Does anyone know if the Kaiser is still a one-for-one exchange from AT&T? If not, what's the likely replacement?

King
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserII101:
You'll either get a fuze or a tilt 2 if your lucky. AT&T doesn't sell the kaiser anymore. And it may not be your phone that's the cause of the loss of files. It might be the card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chbuddah86:
I had a contract that was up recently and I was wondering the same thing. So I went to my local corporate AT&T store and the fella there told me the few returns he saw were replaced with Tilts. He said "they" have a stockpile of Tilts to go through. So me, in an effort to save a buck, just upgraded my Tilt and got a $99 iPhone instead of claiming insurance and paying $125, or $150...whichever, the iPhone was cheaper and I kept my Tilt, which is a standalone GPS on my dash lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jran Sakarra:
I knwo what you mean.

Mine just bit the dust and they said I would not get a kaiser line.

I decided to upgrade, but all the new smart phones they claim "require" a data plan that is $30 a month and would still be even if I got my old model.

http://www.artfulbits.com/Android/antipiracy.aspx

If your a Dev please support them, if you need assistance msg me i can send u code that will allow your app to automatically send a message to this company with a users information that has stolen your app or tried to steal it.
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
I'm all for cracking down hard on piracy, but there are three big flaws with this solution:

1) How would Artfulbits verify that an app reporting a device is a "dark" device is making that report in good faith? If a bunch of pirates wanted to render this service pointless, they could just create apps that flood the service with false positives.

2) It is possible (although difficult) to link IMEI to a user/owner. This makes a publicly accessible database of "dark" IMEIs somewhat shady in terms of being a breach of privacy.

3) Finally, if this service is to be useful, apps have to have some way of acting on the information in the database. That is just going to lead to folks "cracking" apks to remove the IMEI-checking routines, or simply using leakproof firewalls to prevent the app from accessin the IMEI database.

Thoughts?
[G1 Apps and Games] rondey-:
There is not going to be a way to completely stop piracy. Google just needs to step up the way the market works to prevent some of the piracy.

I understand devs deserve money for their hard work (and the log of my google checkout shows I support them) but I personally dont want any app reporting any information about myself or my phone. If there is a list of which apps do I will find an alternative for better or worse and not use the app. Not to knock on those who support this method, I just personally dont like it.
[G1 Apps and Games] pentace:
Well considering my app has been pirated 3x as much as it has been downloaded legally i would be willing to let go of the few that are not comfortable with their imei being registered on a website which only happens if u are stealing an app, most apps out there gather more information from you than that without you even knowing.
[G1 Apps and Games] psychoace:
I don't get why people would install this program. If it detects pirated software on your phone then who the hell are you letting you use your phone? Lets say you know you have pirated software well then of course you wont install this program. If you know your running a clean rom and have no reason to suspect pirated software your giving up a lot of information for a false sense of security. So unless this is forcibly installed on everyone's phone I don't see what's the point.
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
It's not a program you install. It is a database. App developers write routines into their programs which access the database. If an application suspects that it was illegally pirated, then it will send the user's IMEI to the database.
[G1 Apps and Games] su27:
This is stupid idea. Go to the source of piracy if you want to fight it.

Give people access to paid apps on market and they won't download illegal copies form rapidshare...
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
Riiiight... because if you give pirates the option to pay they'll definitely all pay right? :rolleyes:
[G1 Apps and Games] H@OBouget:
This database thing bothers me.

Not because I might be stealing programs..

but because I might find one and not know its "dark"

Suddenly I'm on some blacklist because I thought an app was cool? :(

I just did a search on one of the torrent sites, and found a file to DL.

It has 231 apk files and 2 .bak files. (I'm assuming the bak files are for a cracked version of the paid apk) but many of these files are a)old versions or b) free already.

Normally I would say SCORE! I don't have to DL to the g1, then back up, uninstall, transfer to the pc, and store.

Last time I tried a file like that, more than half were for cupcake, and would not work on my donut. Recycle bin.

With this Database I would get tagged as a cheater the first time I tried to install any of those files that were marked. But I have no idea they are "dark" before hand.

While I thank the Dev's for the work they do.

{Seriously, Thank you Developers!}

I'm a student, and I'm poor, which means I'm cheap.

I have several free apks stored away. Hell, I still used youtube downloader 1.2...until it quit working last week. Why, because I don't want to spend money just to have a cool phone.

If you really want to make it hard on the thieves... someone make a program that cripples another program, until the user requests the full version. Then it reads the Imei number from the phone and sends an upgrade request to a server. The server requests payment. Server verifies payment. The server issues a hashed password based on the Imei, which is then sent back to the phone as a password. Customer never sees the password.

This is what Doc to go appears to do. I could be wrong.

Now make it so that program can be imbedded in any other program.

Now thieves need a whole crap load of hacking to find enough hashed passwords to find the hash.

If the hash is added to at random intervals, or a different hash is used based on the Imei number, they might never find the hash.

Besides that, how the heck does a program know if it has been stolen?

How can it tell between a stolen program and a wiped phone that is getting reinstalled with backed up apk's?
[G1 Apps and Games] alex.kucherenko:
Exists several strategies, for example the most popular is "honey pot" strategy. When vendor especially making leak of software or prepare specially application to track piracy.

For example in our country sufficient IMEI of the phone to find it owner and it location, of course if you have police under your shelders. That is why I am thinking that IMEI is a good identifier.

Solution is not perfect, but can be easily enhanced. HTTPS protocol with certificate checks will make firewalls and redirections useless.

What functionality exactly you have in mind?
[G1 Apps and Games] alex.kucherenko:
Leave according to your money. what can I say... spend less, work more.
[G1 Apps and Games] alex.kucherenko:
Several simple steps:

- install software only from well known web sites, Android Market, Handagoo, SlideMe, etc.

- try to use trials and if it does not exists but you want to try, contact with developers. In most cases developer will provide you version for testing.

- if your phone is placed into black list, then you can contact "blacklist" vendor for explanation and fixing.
[G1 Apps and Games] su27:
You see - that's your problem - you want to fight the enemy instead of prevent war.

In my country there are many people who would pay for android programs because they are quite cheap. But we have no access to paid market. That is why we download apps illegaly.

Now, what do you think will faster stop us from stealing apps:

A. Calling us pirates and thieves

B. Giving us access to paid apps
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
You are making the incredibly flawed assumption that piracy only happens because people have no access to the paid market. Are some people put in this situation? Yes, probably. But the majority of pirates likely DO have access to the paid market and simply don't want to pay. :rolleyes:
[G1 Apps and Games] daveid:
I am a bit confused, what does this ban people from? The market in it's entirety?

If that is the case, I would think you'd see an outburst of pirating once people couldn't access the market anymore. And that would also prevent people who may not feel like dishing out $100 for a navigation solution from purchasing numerous $1-10 programs that they would actually use on a daily basis. I think this methodology is flawed.

Piracy will never be completely stopped. However, making it harder for people to pirate your software is the best prevention. Instead of saying "Oh, you might have installed a pirated copy of XXX on your device, so now you can't purchase any more programs legitimately, so keep on stealing!". Due diligence falls on the hands of the software creators. If piracy is something you want to prevent (or at least inhibit) for your software, create an IMEI checking device key required to be granted after receipt (and clearance) of payment. Similar to CoPilot, granted it still gets cracked - it is much harder and much less widespread, and a simple update renders it useless to those who used the cracked version (check all over these forums for people complaining about it).

Also, implement trials that don't require the user to pay for them, giving them only 24 hours to try something out before they decide they need their money back. Even Microsoft lets users go 30 days without activation (last I checked) to try out Windows. They do not (to the best of my knowledge) make great attempts to prevent their software from being copied, but instead make it harder on those who do pirate it. Blocking system updates (of course everything has a workaround or crack, but making it harder on someone is oftentimes a great deterrent), preventing new feature installation, etc.

I am not condoning piracy, nor am I condemning software publishers. Just trying to make a point, which is this:

If you take someone who has stolen a program (for whatever reason/justification they may think of) and punish them by revoking their access to purchase said program (or any other program), you have thus reinforced their reason/justification to not purchase any programs.
