some good tips here too:

http://www.androidcentral.com/keeping-your-charge-how-improve-battery-life-your-android-phone

i bet using the wifi never sleep trick, as also noted in the link a few posts up, will net a large increase in battery life for most people. interesting to note if it will have an effect on receiving/sending MMS as one of the commenters noted; can someone test?
[EVO 4G General] nachyochez:
There are FOUR applications built into the Evo that will use data even if you never turn them on:

Stock

Weather

News

GTalk

Turning these off will add several hours to your battery life. Lowering the frequency of Email updates and GoogleSync will add a little more, and be wary of Live Wallpapers. They use ultralittle processing, but oogles and more of battery life!
[EVO 4G General] itzjonjon69:
thanks for the heads up!
[EVO 4G General] gjgraf91:
Make sure when you download an app that you go into the settings menu and see if it does background updates. If so, try and set them to the lowest settings. For example, the Weatherbug app took my battery to 50% in two hours because it was running in the background trying to get my location. I went in and changed to settings to only verify my location when I open up the app.
[EVO 4G General] jxs1984:
i think i read somewhere in androidforums.com the handcent app kills battery life... i'm not sure but its something you can check on.
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
No it doesn't. Been running it on my Vogue for months and can go greater than 24 hours no prob. It's made no difference.

I think I have thoroughly conditioned my battery, today with have my brightness set lower.

I am at 47% with just answering texts emails and web browser. I might add i have to use my google voice till the 4th so I have it push to me as soon as someone sends me a txt

But one thing that will drain your battery is homerun battle 3d, that game is f'ing sweet
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Just another tip for those experiencing poor battery life...what's your signal strength in the area where you spend most of your day?

When you have poor signal strength, most devices will try to boost their internal radio's power to get a better connection. Have you noticed your device is warm, as if you had just been on a long phone call, even though it's just sitting on your desk?

Poor signal will drain your battery very quickly. I have seen the battery on my TP2 go down to 50% on a full charge after only 4 or 5 hours, without use (other than Exchange sync); where i have great signal strength, my device can sit idle for an entire day and be down to only 75-80%.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Not sure if it's the case on EVO but on my Nexus the Twitter app was set to update every 15 minutes and it was a big drain on the battery. Changed it to every hour instead and it made a noticeable difference.
[EVO 4G General] joey3002:

it will be great, have you find any, i dropped by an app called Theodolite for iPhone and both will be great to have in windows mobile and android, the problem is they use gyro sensor to aid the readings...
[HD2 Accessories] m0bmentality:
I know its cause the 3.5 jack is too long.. but i dont exactly know what to do..

Im just plugging my phone into the A/V source on the headunit.. and using my Slacker account for internet radio...

The input cable is RCA coming from the headunit to 3.5 jack on the other end plugged into the headset part of the HD2...

It will work for a while.. then find a reason to short and soft reset the phone.

Here is what i DO know.. .

Slacker works fine when i use it with any of my headphones...

the headphone jacks plug in all the way.

The jack in the car fits fine but doesnt go in all the way.

____________________________________________________

So i know i need an adapter.. or should i just shoot for a whole new RCA/3.5 cable... either way is fine... but i want to know WHY one is longer than the other so i dont just reorder the same problem.. is there a name for it?

ill just scoop a new RCA/3.5 ... i just wanna make sure its the right one.
[HD2 Accessories] adeeb:
This happened to me,

what i did was take my original headphones and headed to the electronics store and compared the size of the jack with the headphone jack size and also made sure i bought properly insulated kinda expensive but high quality monster cable.

Now it works like a charm. I dont know why some jacks differ in sizes. Hope this helped.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Borx:
I'm trying to root a MyTouch 3G 1.2 by following the guide at theunlockr.com, and when I get to the step for flashing the Amon RA recovery I get the error "remote: image update error". I've tried using both amon ra's latest (v1.7.0G) and the clockwork recovery and get the same error for both. I'm pretty sure it's not the gold card as it finds SAPPIMG.zip and updates fine. I've tried various SAPPIMG.zip's and everything works up until the point of flashing recovery. I've tried booting the recovery with fastboot as well and it just shows a white screen with the three skateboarding androids and hangs.

Any help would be very much appreciated, as I was unsuccessful at returning the phone to it's previous unrooted state either. I really need to get this solved asap even if it means returning the phone back to it's previous state. The phone belongs to my mom and I told her I'd root it for her thinking it'd be a pretty simple process.

Just an FYI: I do have previous experience with rooting and flashing roms, recovery, etc as I have a G1 that's currently using Amon RA v1.7.0 recovery and running cyanogenmod 5.0.7.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] knny1491:
You do have the recovery in your tools folder and are using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to fastboot flash it correct? Just one hundred percent sure I couldn't tell you how many times people have gotten the fastboot command wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dimmakherbs:
SAPPIMG should be SAPPIMG.img, not SAPPIMG.zip. this in itself should be Amon's perfect SPL that is being changed to this .img and not using the .zip

unfortuanetly unlockr doesn't have good info for the 1.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xtheishx:
Opps I flashed the zip, though im running my phone rooted, its smooth except for a long boot up time...

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] whhw31:
He guys

Here is the question straight forward, I bought a used US Cellular HTC Touch Pro 2 from someone who uses the phone on a CDMA network while i will have to use it on a GSM network the seller said that there is a SIM slot underneath the battery which he never used, Will this phone work on my GSM network outside U.S. and will that phone be unlockable?

thanks in advace:confused:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] whhw31:
HTC website

HTC website doesn't say anything about GSM support for this phone "US Celleular Touch Pro 2"

any ideas guys???
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gface2k:
The touch pro 2 is a world phone and yes it has a sim slot (at least the sprint/verizon models do). I unlocked my phone in the U.S. and used it on AT&T with my buddies sim card, the only problem was that the radio is does not have the 3G frequencies for the U.S. you might have to research if this holds true out side the U.S. since every other country uses a different frequency set for 3G access.

Also plz tone down the font size
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] whhw31:
ya the seller satated that the phone has a SIM slot then i should assume that it can be used hopefully, and the 3G is frequinces is supported by this phone over here in Egypt and i should be fine.

sorry about the font
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djteotancolis:
it should work as its sim unlocked for world use. but i cant state about 3g?

Hello all as everyone know the stock HD2 battery has a horrible life. As I have been looking for a replacement and seen alot of threads here trying to find a nice battery so I came to ask few things I want to be clear about so post away if you can help.

1) I want normal size battery that is not extended battery as it fits in the original cover for TMoUS HD2.

2) I want the highest possible mAh that fits in the original case, which is what 1500-1600 mAh? if anyone know any other let me know.

3) I seen alot name these 3 companies Andidas, Galilios, Mugen. So name them which is better.

Keep in mind that to me money is not an option as I am welling to spend whatever long as it meets my requirement as I want quality and durability also don't want it to blow up as safety is also a concern, thanks looking for good product review and advice.
[HD2 Accessories] HyperNode:
Anyone? any take on this? thanks.
[HD2 Accessories] omnia1994:
i m interest with this too
[HD2 Accessories] HyperNode:
Well I took HD2 of charge at 8AM when I was getting ready for work and now its 3:46PM and I am at 63% battery power. So I need a real solution as I use my phone for work, hope someone who tested other battery can respond as I need it urgent.
[HD2 Accessories] pa2ra:
Have you been using the phone? If so, this is not bad! You only lost 37% battery for almost a whole day of work!

And you will not find a battery that fits like the original one, and has more capacity.

Just buy a second one, charge it, and take it along...
[HD2 Accessories] HyperNode:
Thanks for your reply man but are you sure? As I seen in this very forum battery that is 1300 mAh and I'm not talking about bulky extended battery packs. Also carrying around two battery and changing it is not an option. Also that's like only 6-7hours and already that low ATM I have to keep my charger with me at work fearing that ill lose battery power as it happend once. I can Google some results but ill take feedbacks from user here any day as they tested it and used it thus they can compare it and it would have a fare product review.
[HD2 Accessories] skylinepigeon:
dude if you can get your phone to mid after noon with more than 60% charge, you really shouldn't be complaining lol....
[HD2 Accessories] HyperNode:
Its 8:30PM EST here and i am at 34% as device has uptime of 47hours and connected to 3g tmobile network for 36hours. I need 1500-1700 mAh but i seen 1300 on this forum as they say its same size.
[HD2 Accessories] jan-willem3:
The best battery you can get is a momax 1100 mah yes the mah is less than stock. But the reports are very good and it should go longer then the stock. It will give you about 20% extra. There are no good 1500 mah or more batteries. For example HyperNode would get with that momax battery instead of 34% 49 or 52 something like that.
[HD2 Accessories] malex1:
The higher the mAh number, the longer a battery will last.

If your phone needs 1000 milliamps(1.0Ah) to work, a 1000mAh battery will last 1 hour continued use, if the phone needs 500mAh it will last for 2 hours and so on.

So going from standard 1230mAh to 1500mAh will not give that much more battery life.

Easier to carry a charged spare standard size battery if going to be away from charger for a long time.
[HD2 Accessories] ditg:
I've also taken a different 'strategy' Charge all time (in car with Navi and BT anyhow) and use cheap secondary batteries (as with this charging strategy they wont last too long)

Apart form the Ah of a battery, it makes a huge difference in how the battery is engineered. It is indeed possible that a lower Ah battery provides more rela life power....
[HD2 Accessories] HyperNode:
Jan thanks for that useful reply as ill look in to the product. But is there any battery that you know from same company with higher mAh? From what you said this is better than stock one and lower mAh yet better performance due to higher quality.
[HD2 Accessories] HyperNode:
So ATM two candidates for possible same stock size battery.

1) Momax 1100 mAh

2) Mugen 1300 mAh

I hope people who used any or both can compare it with stock battery and post the finding here so others like me can make easy decision and order it.

What MSID are you using?
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
The MSID that belongs to our phones, and correct me if I am wrong, aside from the few on here with Heros on like cricket are device specific, therefore we all have different MSIDs.

The MSID of your phone should be on the box the phone came in.

Now one would wonder why you are asking for our MSIDs...
[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
I will not give you my MSID. Psycho.
[Hero CDMA General] sdotcarlisle:
Mobile Station ID (MSID) is the number that is associated with the home service provider and the wireless phone number. This is reprogrammed when the user changes home service providers. It can also be called the Mobile Identification Number (MIN) and is not to be confused with the Mobile Device Number (MDN) in the CDMA world, which is the device's telephone number.
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
If you are wondering, OP, why this post is defensive its because you shouldn't be messing with your MSID. If you are changing your MSID you are committing a felony. If we gave you our MSID you could clone your phone to use our MSID and basically mooch off our service.

Besides if you are going to clone your device to use it on cricket or whatever, you really need to know what you are doing. It is pretty complicated and you cannot screw it up or else you are SOL.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mybikegoes200:
Ok I think I've done my due diligence in that I've searched the forums high and low for a rubberized case that is actually designed for the Tilt 2... I've found tons of cases but not a single one that had the cutout for the PTT button on the AT&T. And I've found countless listings either on eBay or other e-tailers that claim to be for all models or even specifically for the AT&T but not a single one actually shows a case with the PTT cutout.

I'm at a loss - can these things really not exist?!?! :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mybikegoes200:

honestly i've been in the same spot, did not find any silicon case with the ptt cutout ended up settling with the praetorian case and could not be happier, ptt is still accessible just need some time to get used to, and its still easy to pull out of my pocket on my jeans
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mybikegoes200:
Searching, and indeed reading, are in fact the key... But alas - I did both.. And I read the link you posted, ad nauseum (as it is referenced here many times over).

I should make clear both that I have an AT&T (and thus a PTT button) - and that I use the PTT button (for voice command) frequently.

A quote, from the first link (the praetorian case): "The PTT button is indeed covered"

Of the 3 eBay links, only the last works... And the title says all you need to know - "BLACK RUBBERIZED CASE FOR HTC TMOBILE TOUCH PRO 2 PHONE". As we all know the HTC version is markedly different and notably missing the PTT button. The picture, as well, shows the side cutout not including a cutaway for the PTT button.

And the Global Phone Company link also has the title "Black Gel Skin Cover Snap-On Case Front and Back for HTC Touch Pro 2 T-MOBILE VERSION ONLY (NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SPRINT AND VERIZON HTC TOUCH PRO2 VERSION) Black Gel Skin Cover Snap-On Case Front and Back for HTC Touch Pro 2 T-MOBILE VERSION ONLY" - again one with an AT&T phone need not read any further.

So I plead again - please does anybody know of a case that actually has the PTT cutout button?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mybikegoes200:
Thanks - I figured I'd end up giving the Praetorian case a shot... I take it you just push the PTT button through the rubber, more or less?

ATT Praetorian Crystal Slip

I just took some quick snaps of my ATT Praetorian Crystal Slip for you.

ITS NOT A REAL BUTTON!

A little hard to see but there is a cutout INTERNALLY for the PTT button. However on the outside it is smooth so u cant feel the button like the others. They suck and didn't actually change/make a new case for ATT even tho its advertised. It helps for making it easier to hit it through the rubber now but still sad =(

Hello everyone, I'm happy to say that I'm hosting a 'market' specifically for Sprint Hero root users. If anyone is interested in this, you can install it on your phone in a few steps.

First, download the market program and install it on your phone. It's at http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/dl/Aptoide.apk

Once you install it, launch it and press no to add their default repository. Then, press menu>Manage repo>menu>New repository. The url to the repository should be EXACTLY:

http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/repo/files/

After that, go back and you should be able to see the applications. If you're a developer and have a application you'd like to add, or have a question, feel free to email me: bikcmp@bikcmp.com.

Yes, I know there aren't many applications in it right now.
