[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkelle4:
I don't have an extended battery and I don't know what ROM\kernel everyone is using but I do have a trick for knowing when the battery is full.

I'm using the snap kernel and they have a widget named SnapWidget (clever, huh). Anyways, as you can see in the image, it shows, among other things, the charge level. Even with a stock battery my phone will show the green LED once the battery gets above 90%. I watched that figure in green, and as soon as the battery reaches 100 the figure will turn to red (showing the battery is discharging). Obviously I don't sit and watch it but I will check every once in a while to see if its still charging or not.

This should work for people with extended batteries as the widget will keep showing its charging until its full.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim_1984:
I just bought a 3500 capacity battery the other day, this is the third day I've been using it. Crappy battery life first day, great battery life today.

I was concerned that it wasn't being fully charged, since it drained so quickly the first day I got it. Yesterday, I upgraded to the latest Fresh ROM that incorporates the 3.29 update and installed SetCPU, and life is much better.

I just installed SpareParts to see how much my battery is full, and it's reporting 4075mV, after being unplugged for 2 hours. Which means that it was probably close to the 4200 that I should be seeing when it's fully charged on a 3500mah battery.

The only thing I did was keep the phone charging overnight, then once the green light has been on for several hours, I rebooted into recovery and wiped the battery stats, and rebooted with it plugged in.

The only weird part is that it's only been unplugged for 2 hours, with about 30 minutes of uptime, and it's already drained 10% of a 3500mah battery. Which isn't any better than the stock battery was doing, but maybe it's that whole "the first 15% drains really fast" thing that I've been noticing and reading about on the forums, and the rest will drain really slowly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrqube:
Any updates yet, anyone got any news on the charging of 3500mah batteries to 100%
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
i am not sure what the issue is... the voltage readout is correct. my stock battery and 3500mah battery read about the same.. around 4170 at full charge.

the voltage doesnt determine charge capacity, the cell capacity determines that. and the mah is determined by both output voltage and milliamps.

the output voltages is determined by the htc specs and if you go above it or below it you may damage the phone.

so your 4100mv is correct... just because its a 3500mah battery doesnt mean you get more mv. both batteries output the same... its just that the 3500 has more cells to hold the charge longer.

i have said this 100,000 times.... the htc charger charges at 5v 1amp and THAT IS TOO MUCH. It charges the phone to quick.

where as usb charge on a pc or some wall adapters is only 5v 500ma.

htc doesnt want your battery to last a long time... they want to abuse your battery so it dies quicker.so you have to buy another battery. and constatlntly charging with the htc charger is bad for the battery.

listen these batteries demand a slow trickle charge or they dont charge right. the proof is in the pudding whether you charge your phone while its on or off, if you use PC usb to charge your phone, or some other charger that outputs low amps, 350-500ma your battery will have a better longer lasting charge.

i use a wall battery charger, one that you slide your battery into, notnplug the phone.in.

it is rated at 4.2v 350ma and it charges my batteries wayyyy better than usb or the htc charger does.

it also has a usb port rated at 5.2v 800ma.

i have never really tested the usb port for charge ability compared to the battery charge slot but i dont care i have my htc and my supposed 3500mah battery and when one needs charged i swap them and just put the low one in the charger.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrqube:
That really does clear up a few things, I've been using a USB charger pluged into my laptop. Does anyone know some of the best wall plug chargers to buy. I'm thinking of going to the mall and just buying a cheap 10 dollar wall charger so it would charge my battery slow. For sure I will never use that HTC charger again. just USB and cheap chargers:D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayWhat10:
doesnt this also mean that your phone will take much longer to get to full? especially with my sedido 3500mah battery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
Yes, that's correct. All other things being equal, a charge rate of 500 ma will take twice as long as a charge rate of 1000 ma (1 amp).

In practice, it's not quite that exact, but it's close enough for our purposes. I've been playing around with lithium based batteries in RC aircraft for years. For those packs (as with ours), the general rule of thumb is slower charging yields a greater lifetime. By "lifetime", I mean more charge/discharge cycles, not necessarily more duration between charges. The standard charge rate on those packs for years has been 1C, where C is the capacity in amps. Our little batteries, however, probably wouldn't do so good using that guideline. The 1.5 amp-hour battery like the one in our phones, could theoretically be safely charged at 1.5 amps. Clearly, that's not a good idea!

As someone above said, heat is the enemy of these little batteries and keeping them cool, both during charging and discharging, is key to long life. It looks like 1/3C would be the best choice. Given that, one of the 3500 packs should tolerate a charge rate of about 1.2 amps without too much heat build up. This assumes, of course, that the 3500 pack is properly rated. If it's just a 2000 mah pack stamped 3500, it might heat up too much.

sorry guys for making a thread like this

but i just want to know what problems that make sgs won't play it

because this one won't play on my phone

but this one worked very smooth

i don't know what's the difference that makes the first one wouldn't opened. anyone can help me with this problem?

thx.

The second one has too high a bit rate on the audio and video i would guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuliusaje:
thx for the reply.

actually, the one that worked well is the second one that has more than 2gb

the one that failed to play is the first one, which is less than 2gb

so what's the real deal here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
one possible reason is the use of AAC audio in the first one. It seems the core AAC audio handling of AndroidOS is a bit broken. I've ran into no audio or downright no playback at all issues with MKV's containing AAC audio.

Most of these however seem to play in RockPlayer ARM7 fine.

EDIT: To clarify I identify this as a core AndroidOS problem (and not a Samsung one) because it seems to be common among all Android phones, at least according to my research. Many posts on doubletwists forums about this very issue impacting many different phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuliusaje:
maybe you right about the AAC

i tried 3 videos (1,4gb ; 700mb ; 350mb) with AAC audio and only the smallest one that worked well

i think AC3 is the better one..

thx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Have you tried playing them on RockPlayer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuliusaje:
of course i have tried it

and the one that played smooth was just the smallest one (350mb)

600mb-> played like a robot

1,4gb -> black and lag..lol

so, i figure the problem is the aac audio codec.

I had the similar problem. I couldn't open android recovery via PC (using recovery-windows). I thought that what did I install recently? So I've unistalled HTC Sync 3. It could make a problem with USB connection. After that problem has gone. If you install HTC Sync you should try that too.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickst4r:
Hello, newb here. I searched the forums for a guide on getting the Evo fully working on Verizon and didn't find anything. I did see instructions for MetroPCS but that was it. Can someone can provide a step by step on how to get the HTC EVO fully working on Verizon with full data + market + mms etc? (I know 4g won't work). This guide would have to assume that the person was able to have the ESN of the EVO added to Verizon's db...So, let's say that I have the EVO's ESN added to my Verizon account as a Motorola Q with a data plan, will that suffice or do I need the EVO's ESN provisioned as an android phone like an X or incredible for it to work? I can't just do *228 and that will take care of everything, right? I own a copy of cdma workshop so I am able to change the Sprint banner to Verizon and make other similar changes so that's not a problem. The EVO is still new sitting in the box and hasn't been fired up yet, now what?

Please don't reply asking me why I want to do this or commenting on how it won't work. We all know it will work there's just a process that needs to be followed to make it work. Helpful comments only please. And if it can be refined into a guide for others to follow that would be even better. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOflyeyesOo:
Probably not possible, even though they are CDMA also. But if you just get better signal on verizon, then switch to the hack that allows you to roam on their network and use their speeds.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvaughan:
Impossible unless there is a Verizon branded EVO at some point

The ESN will identify the phone (if it's in Verizon's database (which it won't be (and you can't have it added))) you can't just say "throw this ESN on my account call it a Motorola Q and I'll call *228 and have it activated." I may also be wrong about this part but, I think that Verizon and Sprint use different 3G frequencies.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beejis:
I know it was possible for the TP, but not sure how and definitely not sure if it is possible for the EVO. Not sure why you would, the incredible is basically the same phone minus the 4g, bigger screen and front camera.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autoprime:
if you can get the esn into the verizon database its fairly easy. you could also use a 'donor' phone thats activated on verizon and use that phones esn/3g profile on the evo.

takes about an hour or so after alls said and done.

I previously posted this on another site and figured I would try here as well.

I went running this morning and during my cooldown Pandora just stopped running. I looked at the phone and I couldnt get past the swipe login screen. I also tried the menu button. It was like th phone was partially frozen. I say partially because the bar on top kept changing and said cardio trainer was still recording. I got home, pulled the battery and started it back up but it wouldn't go passed the HTC Incredible screen (the first screen). I even did the power volume down where it gives me the ability to go to recovery, but it again locks on the HTC Incredible screen. I have just been pulling the battery each time. I do have S-off and it is rooted. I dont know if maybe Ijust got too much sweat on it and it needs to dry out but I am getting kind of nervous.

I have let it sit for over an hour and have tried to start it. It is again locking up on the first screen and has been there for over two minutes.

Please help

You can try placing the phone in a container of rice to extract any moisture but I don't think it will fix your problem. As far as returning the phone, I wouldn't worry about the S-off. You can't even get past the boot screen, they won't know. What is the worst that can happen? They sent your phone back and tell you that your phones warrant is void. There are real laws that say they can not punish users for rooting or modifying their phones, it's our own property.

[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
Actually, he worst that can happen is they charge him for the FRU if they find s-off or damage caused by moisture after the phone is swapped as a warranty exchange.

The laws of which you speak don't preclude them from doing that. It merely prevents them from seeking copyright damages, which was a hollow threat to begin with.

Hi all,

I just ordered one of these:

will it prevent my hd2 screen from getting burst when dropping it on the ground?

thanks in advance
[HD2 Accessories] rexboy:
Of course not, it doesnt even cover the screen. Dont get me wrong, i have 4 of the exact cover, diferent colours, prevents scratches etc on the back but if you drop it and it lands the wrong way, the cover wont do anything to protect the screen, only luck will.
[HD2 Accessories] xbcc:
But it does have some kind of bumper,so the wcreen lies deeper than the sides of the case.wouldn'nt that protect it? Of course not if somerhing like a small rock lies on the ground and touches the screen...
[HD2 Accessories] Luka92:

[HD2 Accessories] friend'scatdied:
You're assuming the HD2 will fall flat on its front or back every time.

If the HD2 ever lands with a corner hitting the ground first, the force transferred through the point of impact will almost surely shatter the screen.

Technically your right, the edge is slightly raised but your talking mm's. As another guy replied, he dropped his and the screen broke, these covers prevent minor scratches, not a hard impact such as dropping the phone.

I had a silicone case on my Blackstone. This soft case has protected my Blackstone a few times , and it has been falling from 1meter (out off the hand) and nothing has happend . Now i will try a silicon case too on my new HD2. I think the bigger the screen, the more you have to protect it against shockwaves. So if the devices falls out off your hand, it has to be protected with a soft matter so the energy could be absorbed....

I will report wenn ich have my new silicone bumper

Let me first preface this by saying that I have done a search...

I am coming from Tmobile, and have owned 3 Android phones on that network. I have noticed the flaw on sprint/sense of not being able to hang up on a second call waiting caller. However, I also am very shocked that it seems like you cannot merge two calls. Is there something that I am missing? Is there something either in settings or even a rom that will enable that ability? I really use the conference call ability a lot. thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoxsin:
hit the menu softkey

when your on a call and you receive a call or want to make another call just hit the soft menu key at the bottom of your device. then you will get the "phone application menu slide up screen" there you can add another call or if you received another call you can "flash" between calls. once you have both calls and you see the active call light be green while the other call is on hold is light up in orange. if you hit the menu soft key during this process of calls being hold/active you will see a new option in the slide up menu that says "merge calls" with a lane merge sign similar to when your on the highway.

hope this is what your question was in reference to

edit-i believe if you want to hang up on a previous call. just touch the caller and it will hang that call, but will remain on the screen with a red light on it.(uncertain though)

Haha this happens to me with all my sprint phones. It happened on my TP, my TP2, and my Evo, so at the very least, it's not an android or Evo problem, it's a CDMA problem. You're not alone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeko:
I've not found a single I9000XEE* CSC among the leaked firmwares, so I'm thinking something rather different here.

Can't we just fake the CSC-region/version to get a phone back to the original Kies update path?

I've tried to extract the rfs-image in a csc-file to see what files it contains, but I have failed. No matter what I do it just doesn't want to mount the image anywhere, probably some silly noob-thing on my side.

But seriously, if we can just edit the apropriate files, shouldn't we be able to trick Kies into thinking any phone is from any region?

In worst case, it should be possible to copy the CSC-files from a phone with original firmware and just put them into an update.zip and get onto the "right" update path instantly... (assuming Kies updates by looking at CSC only, which is what I believe)

Anything I don't know that might prevent this from being possible?
