battery

already been asked, sorry
[HD2 Accessories] madpete:
I agree, it has to be the same size for me...I could have brought the offical extended battery by now but its just to ugly.
[HD2 Accessories] heavyhms:
a standard-size 1300mAh from Mugen is already available: the 2000 mAh does probably have a replacement back cover
[HD2 Accessories] Shadowdh:
+1 on the same size deal... if I wanted to buy a bulky unwieldy phone I would go back to the 80's... if there is a good well made higher capacity (=more time) then I would def buy it...
[HD2 Accessories] EddyOS:
Just to be clear, this isn't Mugen the Honda tuner?
[HD2 Accessories] le__s:
I would be surprised from that, in such a case i may use it in my Civic Type R for power gain ^^
[HD2 Accessories] m0j0j0j0123:
Subscribing to this, more power, same size.... that would be very nice! ;)
[HD2 Accessories] MalekoUK:
I was looking for other batteries the other weke and saw that massive HTC one with replacement cover and its the most stupid thing ever!

If they can produce a 2000mah or close to, at the same size as standard battery, im definately in for a purchase!

I will also be very impressed if it is standard size.
[HD2 Accessories] Icefeldt:
only buying if standard size! :)
[HD2 Accessories] toyjeep:
+1

Me too!

Or my case wont fit in HD2 :)
[HD2 Accessories] xavierdemon:
2000mah battery is not going to be the same size as the standard battery lol. Had a few Mugen batteries for previous devices, will not be buying any more from them. The life expentancy of their batteries has never been good and the extra mah they managed to add to the standard size really didn't translate into any extra battery life at all.
[HD2 Accessories] alexnvidia:
i never own one, but thinking of getting one. i thought Mugen batts are supposed to be good quality ones? mind sharing with us your experience?
[HD2 Accessories] rotoloz:
subscribing! hope like others... same size like the original battery!
[HD2 Accessories] Ramalama:
first, there comes a 1500mah standart size battery and a 3000mah extended size battery from mugen...

there will never be a 2000mah standart size battery...

the maximum you can get at the moment is a standart size 1600mah andida battery...

Cheers
[HD2 Accessories] MalekoUK:
Well, if it is indeed bigger than standard, they are wasting time and money, as people hate making their fone look stupid and bigger. So hopefully they know this an will pull some magic for us!

Other wise, whats the point? People will just carry a spare standard battery if needs be.
[HD2 Accessories] HTCHD2_2010:
Same go for me, definitely must be same size as existing one on HD2 but

with extended life
[HD2 Accessories] zaharakis:
great news :)

your company is my favourite and and the most honest in this area...

i'm looking forward for this release !

thanks for your effort all these years,by your products:)

only one request,try to keep prices in reasonable values,for most purchases..isn't so easy in our days with this that happeneds in economy...

[HD2 Accessories] xiaohe:
2000Ma battery?No possiable!
[HD2 Accessories] angler:
Where is this 1300mAh battery for HD2? I cannot locate this in Mugen webpage.
[HD2 Accessories] Shadowdh:
Has anyone used this battery and can comment on its strength and length of life...??
[HD2 Accessories] heavyhms:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/htc-hd2-t8585.html

there are many resellers for Mugen Power batteries: "MugenBattery.com" it's just one of this, isn't Mugen Power itself.
[HD2 Accessories] angusmcintyre:
I've got one, it definetly lasts longer than the standard one, not sure if it's 30% longer though, it's hard to guage, as it depends what you are using it for.

A typical day is

100% charge

1 hour on the train in the morning - listen to music, do emails and the odd phone call

7 hours at work - mostly phone calls, some emails and ebook reader for an hour at lunch

1 hour on the train home - music and ebook reader

20-30% charge left
[HD2 Accessories] madpete:
Any more news about this new Mugen battery?

Confirmed release date? Form factor?
[HD2 Accessories] A|ex:
I am using a "New 1350mAH Replacement Battery For HTC Touch HD2/T8585" which i got from ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-1350mAH-R...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item3caa7846e5).

I am using a older radio i think its 2.06 (without the mem hack) and a old multi lang rom of duttythroy. Atm i am getting just about 4 days with daily use with the standard battery. Everything is on auto on my phone (email, facebook, gps, weather, twitter every hour or two). Over 4 days i would say about 1hr of talking, <1hr of mp3 music, 39mins gps a lot of web surfing about about <20 sms.

With the new battery i can get 4 full days with more use, battery drain is around 20-30% a day depending on usage, charge left is next to non. I have only fully charged and drained the battery twice, i have not yet charged it at anything less than 90%.

If i try Miri or a newer dutty rom with the latest radio with standard battery i get just about 2days with about 10% charge left. With the new battery i get between 15 - 23% left so there is a slight increase but for a few pound i would say its worth it.

I am going to go back to using a older radio, if the rom still works with the older radio i will stick if not i will drop the rom back too. I have issues with roms and radios and seriously battery drain, i had same issue on the blackstone.

I have not tried the "1500mAh Battery for htc HD2 T8585 LEO" (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1500mAh-Batte...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item3a57f94aec) yet but i asked some friends in HK and the charge of this battery is similar to the 1350.

Would love to try the 1500 mugen battery if the quality is much better
[HD2 Accessories] ransflyer:
I had a Mugen 1800ma standard size battery for my X1, and was very impressed.

Has to be standard size for me though.
[HD2 Accessories] Nang06:
Hello all,

Look at this:

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/fr/p_htc_item.aspx?i=195803

Best regards,

* Mod EDIT *

Courtesy cleanup of URL ... battery and/or cover apparently available through HTC Accessory Store.
[HD2 Accessories] don_sefer:
@Nang06 this one is just a a bad joke :(
[HD2 Accessories] richo27:
I would be interested in an extended battery that doesnt stick out like a lump like the one available at the moment (from HTC i think??) but one that fits to the whole length of the phone, nor having a stand, I just want more capacity!

I could of lived with 3-4mm more thickness on the HD2 just to get a decent sized battery standard! Im not sure why ultra slimness is so important, especially over battery life. :confused:
[HD2 Accessories] Willy318is:
I will surely would buy one with the same OEM Standard form factor, I would actually buy 3 not only one, to my understanding, a 1500-to-1700 mAh would be the BEST

Will
[HD2 Accessories] jan-willem3:
Yeah that would be better. If the back just was one part is was easier to get a little bit thicker phone. But now with an extended battery you get a bump at the back wich is horrible.
[HD2 Accessories] A|ex:
if its the 1500 i will buy it, not much point buying the 1300 if u have original as its only a slight increase. cant wait until its released
[HD2 Accessories] :
awesome! :D I can't wait to get my HD2.

How is the standby time? I leave my phone locked for about half the day.
[HD2 Accessories] bogdatov:
Too many people invested into fitted cases/cradles, pouches, sleeves, car holders, etc ... so majority wants standard size, no bulk.
[HD2 Accessories] Willy318is:
100% and Totally Agree

[HD2 Accessories] myth1001:
So this is the extended battery from Mugen?

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...d-replacement-battery-with-battery-door.html#

I was expecting an orginal size extended battery. =(
[HD2 Accessories] pm007:
i'll buy it when it will be available to ship.
[HD2 Accessories] lude219:
looks like ****.
[HD2 Accessories] madpete:
Well thats really disapointing, why would anyone want to spoil their HD2 by turning it into quasimodo? :mad:

All we wanted was a 1500mah+ battery, with normal form factor and good quality.
[HD2 Accessories] jamieeeee:
i dont think many people will buy this becouse its big. and it doesnt even appear to have a stand feature. main reason ppl would get a battery this big imo is to watch movies during long travels. stand feature will be missed then.
[HD2 Accessories] Shadowdh:
If that is the 1500 batt then there is no way I will be getting one (or two)...
[HD2 Accessories] ProjektFuze:
*slaps forehead*

that better not be the one you mugen kids are coming up with....

how hard can it be?? to make a oem sized battery with just twice the "juice"?? it boggles my mind at how this is a difficult task considering how far technology has gone and with all the parts within grasp...
[HD2 Accessories] A|ex:
for that price and size you might be better of going HTC and being fully htc branded.
[HD2 Accessories] myth1001:
Yeah..but the capacity is only 1300mAh. It's not much of a difference compared to the orginal battery (1260mAh).

Would prefer one with at least 1500mAh while having the orginal size. Hope somebody will manufacture something like that in near future. :(
[HD2 Accessories] vikramdhani:
If it is the one from mugen then i will wait for the HTC one since that one looks alot better
[HD2 Accessories] MalekoUK:
hahaha!

Straight to the point, like it :P

Makes the HD2 look fugly
[HD2 Accessories] n4v1n:
the ONLY use i see for this battery is on a plane ride where you are going to watch movies for hours, after the plane ride, you swtich back to the original battery.
[HD2 Accessories] heavyhms:
Mugen Power 1300mAH standard size arrived

this is only a preliminary test: to reach maximum capacity the battery need at least 4-5 charge

[HD2 Accessories] Cheeze[iT]:
are you fetching/pushing any emails? are you broadcasting your position on google latitude? are you using google sync to back up contacts? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what all runs in the background... if I didn't fetch/push I'd get better battery life obviously but my goal is to push/fetch and make it through the day.
[HD2 Accessories] heavyhms:
No, i don't use background data connections, only on demand
[HD2 Accessories] d33170:
Can anyone else further elaborate on the battery life details of the Mugen 1300mAh? Does it show a significant difference in length of life compared to our stock 1230mAh battery??

I’m really tempted in getting it, but I want to make sure it has at least a little bit more battery lifespan than the stock one..
[HD2 Accessories] Finezt:
don't think there will be a 2000 mAh battery

the 2600 with the extended cover is already out there from mugen battries

here is the link

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...ed-replacement-battery-with-battery-door.html
[HD2 Accessories] heavyhms:
at end of first charge seem to be slight better than original (at full capacity after 20 full charges). At end of next week i can see with more accuracy how much is better. Isn't a cheap battery,but if you need a second hi-quality battery is a serious alternative to the original one.

Today, after 16 hours of standby, 35 mins of calls via bluetooh, 20 min of web surfing via 3g and 6 sms the charge left is 71%.
[HD2 Accessories] d33170:
Great, thanks! Please let us know on the results for next week.

[G1 Android Development] itanczos:
Android 1.5 can also work?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Why not? :-) It just builds apps, not run them, so it's a question like: "Do smali can also work with Android 1.5?" ;-)

That "Android SDK installed with 2.1 platform" requirement doesn't mean, that it will build apps for 2.1 . It will just use 2.1 resources, but these are (must be) backward compatible.
[G1 Android Development] itanczos:
Okay, I'll try!

Another question: The framwork-res.apk could not be decrypted. It will be possible later on?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Maybe much later :-/

Even if we will be able to decode it and rebuild, we'll have FC after FC. The point is: framework resources must have constant resName<->resID mappings (eg. @android:string/day must be a 0x01040298), because they are referenced by all apps and unfortunately aapt doesn't give us control over resIDs mappings. I think framework-res.apk and other system files are built using some Google's private tools.

We need to create aapt-like tool, that will use custom resIDs mappings - it should be possible and maybe not so hard, but currently I have other things to do.
[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
want a windows version >.< :D
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
I must buy one ;-)

For now you need VirtualBox (free) + Ubuntu (free) + ~5GB of space (nearly free) and you will be able to use it :-)

I don't know, what are these "iskoot", "3 network" and other things - I don't use Skype. But if you need to change something in XML files, then you definitely want to try out apktool :-)
[G1 Android Development] Royal2000H:

[G1 Android Development] itanczos:
Hello Brut.all!

Thank you for your work hard!

Now the Hero-ROM into the Hungarian language I would like to go into it.

This was the framework that could help rebuild the apktool.

However, the com.htc.resources.apk does not work after a rebuild.

The good decompress, rebuild does not give errors, prepared in the APK.

But to be copied to the phone, does not start after reboot.

Reboot loop is formed.

Of course, all APK resigned.

Can you help me?

Original APK:
[G1 Android Development] phaelox:
Nice work, Brut.all! This is really cool.

I have a question: there's this app that I want to keep installed, but remove the icon from the app drawer. Someone else pointed me to your app to remove the line from the intent-filter in AndroidManifest.xml:

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

Problem is, that even if I don't change anything, and immediately build the apk again, the resulting apk will not install. Apktool does not give any errors, but trying to install the apk, the install process says:

"Application not installed. App could not be installed on this phone.". That's the same message I get when I try to install an app that will only run on Android 1.6/2.x.

Any idea why?

I run Cupcake (see my sig) and I use apktool in Windows.

EDIT: nevermind. I found the problem. I was installing the apk from my device, but when I tried via "adb install -r out.apk" it said "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]". Which is not so strange as I was doing a reinstall, and the original apk was not signed with the testkey certificate which I'm using. I uninstalled the app, then did a clean install: success!
[G1 Android Development] mrme01:
I get this error, I do appologise if this has been covered

ERROR: dump failed because no AndroidManifest.xml found

What am I missing ?

I have the SDK, do I need to drop the tool into a directory?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
You got this when running "apktool d poweroff.apk out"? I don't even have such message in my code :-) I think it is errmsg from Android's "aapt" tool, not my "apktool" ;-D
[G1 Android Development] mrme01:
So I am using the wrong tool? Im using 'apktool-install-windows-2.1_r01-1' I got that from the path in my CMD window.

And yes I did get that message from that command :) Although saying that I am using aapt, I dont see an apktool binary? but there is a batch file with that name. Im sure Im missing something

/Edit

Looked at the batch file and its a set of commands for a .jar file.

I do appologise for the n00by questions.

/Edit 2

Where can I find apktool.jar ? Google code?

/Edit 3 I should look a bit harder sometimes

Hah, now i know, why there are 30% more downloads of windows pack, even if it is just some helper for apktool.jar ;-D Unfortunately some bloggers links to download site, so people don't see "installation" section on project main page.

EDIT:

Just add "-s" option: "apktool d -s poweroff.apk out". I must add some help messages about it.
[G1 Android Development] mrme01:
Ok I managed to do it but how do I get the contents of 'resources.arsc' ?

Thanks for your help up to this point :)
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
resources.arsc is compiled and optimized form of res/values*/* files and some other things. They are decoded to their original form, so resources.arsc file is gone. Note that there is no res/values directory in unzipped apk, but there is one when decoding using apktool.

Honestly... how do you want to modify anything, if you don't know basics of developing Android apps?
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
You mean apktool doesn't make the modifications for me? What a useless program :p
[G1 Android Development] mrme01:
I dont want to develop. I want to remove the are you sure dialog and add a restart option. Im new and the only way I usually learn is by example. The only reason I asked is I haven't seen the relevant options in the XML, yet.

Please bear with me, Im still learning :) I have only had my handset since Thursday :)
