[Captivate Accessories] tamanaco:
Well, I just received the Duracell Powersource Mini which I ordered from Amazon as it's on sale for $19.50 down from the MSRP of 59.99. The [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Xantrex-Technologies-852-0251-XPower-Mobile/dp/B000R9T3T8/ref=pd_sim_ol_4"]Xantrex Xpower Mobile Mini [/URL]which is the same device is still selling for $45.50.

I added a music CD to my order as the Powersource Mini is eligible for free shipping on orders of $25+. Given the Powersource has a Mini-USB male connector and a regular USB female port built-in, I also got a shorter 2.5ft USB to Micro-USB cable from ebay for $2.99 to use with the Powersource Mini. (Also with free shipping and it fits perfectly in the Captivate) This short USB to Micro-USB cable will be used to charge my Captivate and the built-in Mini-USB connector will be used to charge my MP3 player and Camera. The Powersource Mini comes with a USB AC charger and a USB Vehicle DC charger adapter which gives me added flexibility.

The only issues I have found, so far, is that the DC input port of the Powersource is proprietary, so you always need to carry the 4.5ft USB charging cable and "possibly" the AC adapter. The USB AC adapter that comes with the Powersource is just a little bit bigger than the USB AC adapter that comes with the Captivate. A very negligible size difference, but I'd be afraid of using the Powersource AC adapter on the Captivate for prolonged periods of time as it "might" damage the phone. In the description of the AC Adapter of the Powersource it says that it is a AC/DC "Switching" Adapter. This "might" mean that it's designed specifically for the Powersource to switch off when it's fully charged. Also the output specs of the Powersource adapter are 5.5 volts 800mA compared to the 5.0 volts 700mA of the AC adapter that comes with the Captivate. I'd be nice if I only had to carry one AC adapter. Any thoughts on these USB AC/DC adapters being interchangeable?

Edit: In a previous post it was said that this device might be old because it had a Mini-USB instead of Micro-USB connector. A sticker on the device says that it was manufactured on 09/26/2008... So it is a bit old, but not extremely so.

Its only a 1500 mAh, but its pretty compact and it fits around your wrist.

Seems more convenient than a typical power source.

I can't link but I bought a "Satechi icel 5200mAh" batter extender off amazon. It will charge my phone 3+ times before I need to recharge it. I use it to travel. Works great with all my portable devices as long as they use a USB charger. If I could take pictures I would show the size against a phone. I've put them both in a jacket pocket before without worry
[Captivate Accessories] kargilen:
I have a portable charger with capacity of 1900mAh. Its lightweight Its output is 4.5 to 5.5v 800mA Max. Though the charge time is around 2 to 4 hours, it would be rite for your need and purpose. I am not sure of Thinkgeek, but if you can check gadget store Chinabuye, there are more ranges of power charging, you can check and choose the better one, I ordered it from them at reasonable rate.
[Captivate Accessories] tiuk:
I got one of these from xs cargo for $10, at 3000 mAh it can charge the phone completely and still have some juice left. The non-usb charging port is annoying, but i've been thinking about modding it.
[Captivate Accessories] ozone777:
Bought one of those for my wife for Christmas to use with her iphone and it works great.

She's always running her battery down playing Angry Birds. :p

Best part is that it can charge 2 devices at the same time.

The 5400mah batt can charge her phone at least twice with juice to spare.

Comes with a bunch of adapters for just about any device.

It's about the size of a Captivate, but a little thicker, and can easily fit in a pocket.

Lots of power in a small package.

Much better than the Energizer batts.
[Captivate Accessories] neotekz:
i got this digipower charger/battery combo from best buy the other day for $30. its only 1700mah but its also a charger, you can plug it into an outlet instead of having to use a adapter. Output is only rated at 500mA

i was looking at the suggestions on this thread for a bigger capacity battery and higher output that you can plug into the wall but all the ones i've seen online needs an adapter to charge.
[Droid 2 General] Terri M:
I have looked everywhere and was unable to find anything about the sms emoticons.

How can I get the little green alien Droid back into my text messages? I see them when I press the smile icon on the virtual keyboard, but when I press send all I see are the text version. I also only see the text version when someone sends me a text. I do use the handcent program, but they only contain the round green smiley faces. Is there anyway to be able to get that feature/option transferred from my Droid 2.2 build FRG22D to my Rooted Droid2, 2.2.20 Build VZW?
[Droid 2 General] chrstdvd:
You will have to get Handcent or chompSMS from the Market to get your smiles. BUT DO NOT UNINSTALL THE "TEXT MESSAGING" APP FROM YOUR PHONE OR YOU WILL LOOSE MMS. Just set whichever of the above you get to default.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] th3taman:
I wanted to have text icons that didn't look as small on my EVO screen. So I finally downloaded GIMP and messed around with it till I found a font and size that worked and looked good to me. Best of all the icons are easy to see.

Based on the font and icon size, I could not fit more than 3 characters, plus I wanted to keep it simple. I have added 26 icons that are in white. I will add additional icons if requested.

I may add more colors in the future too. Enjoy!

For those of you who might have used/use this app, is there a way to clear out the cache from older entries/downloads of the Guardian newspaper?

I'm not sure if it automatically purges data once it gets to a set limit, but I can see space becoming an issue if it keeps building up.

Also, if I uninstalled the app, would this take care of the data that was downloaded as part of it's function? (images, etc.)

Hello Foxmeister,

can you please tell us how to install the latest Clockwork 2.5.0.7 on our desire.

Or we just must copy the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip and rename it to update.zip?

Or me must flash the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip via recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1 :)

from this site koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/

big thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
As I said before, you use UnrEVOked.

Just flashing an update.zip of recovery will only launch the recovery one time - it won't actually flash it to your device.

As far as I'm aware, UnrEVOked is the only tool that will permanently flash a new recovery image to your device. It even allows you to choose a different recovery (e.g. AmonRa) if you wish.

Dave

A different question about 2.5.0.7 -

How do I know if "wipe Dalvik Cache" or "wipe battery stats" (in advanced menu) work? I run both when flashing new ROMs and unlike the other wipes, there is no message on the screen that confirm that it was done..

Is my recovery broken?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enigmatique:
Hi, it was a question how to update the Clockwork from 2.5.0.1 to 2.5.0.7. So, I will write my way of the update.

I just used the ROM Manager from Android Market. Today, when I started the ROM Manager I saw this item:

Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1

Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7

Just after, I clicked on the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery I chose the HTC Desire and it started to download the new version and flashed it. It was done automatically.

After, I rebooted into the Recovery and I have a version 2.5.0.7. It wasn´t necessary to start any application from Windows or Linux...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golf60:
Then congratulations. AT my Desire only unrevoked flashed a permanent recovery.

Please shutdown your phone and Start IT with Power +Vol down and look at the recovery Version. How did YouTube root your Desire before?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enigmatique:
It is little bit bizarre.

I just did what you wrote. I switched off my Desire. Just after I used Power+Vol down and I entered into Recovery Menu where was a version 2.5.0.1.

So, no permanent flash.

Ok, I rebooted my Desire and I started the Rom Manager where I saw

Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7

Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7

I clicked on the Reboot into Recovery in the Rom Manager and it started the Recovery version 2.5.0.7.

How is it possible ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djind:
When you hold Power+Vol Down, you will enter the recovery permanently installed on your phone. When you go to recovery from Rom Manager, it loads up the recovery from sdcard, which Rom Manager installed.

there is'nt an update recovery image for 2.5.0.7 so cannot be a permanent flash yet.

Hello there,

I bought my Tattoo in January this year. It went to the service centre once already, because the touch screen did not work anymore. It came back with a new one.

Today it got broken again. The symptoms; it was getting more and more difficult to get a long press, for instance to move an icon or remove a widget from the desktop. After it stopped working, I could see a dot matrix on the screen, and when the screen is off, it looks like there is some oil, diffracting the light, a bit like a rainbow.

Am I the only unlucky Tattoo owner with this kind of recursive issue? Is the life span of a Tattoo digitizer only 4 months?

What about capacitive screens - are they less fragile?

Is there any particular Android phone with a good / strong build and quality reputation?

Cheers,

JPascal.
[Click General] _david_94:
I have similar problems with the screen. It's hardly usable. I get those rainbow-like spots on the screen, there is a big white mark at the top of the screen that fortunately I can see through when screen is on. Also the screen sometimes thinks I've pressed in places where I haven't, so it's impossible to use until I reboot. There are many other problems, and the only reason why I don't send it back to get fixed is that they keep it for weeks, and I need it.
[Click General] jpascal:
I live in Taiwan, Taipei, so HTC support / service is not bad here. They can come and pick my cellphone at my office, and I can hope to get it back 3 days after.

[Click General] mixmar_droid:
I had same problems with digitizer.. But I fixed it :] This can happen when the screen is pressed for a longtime in pocket or the phone is dropped. But I fixed it :]

I turned the phone off, removed mask and tried to lift up digitizer little bit on side where was rainbow-like spots. When they gone, I put digitizer down and press on the side that I lifted up. Now everithing works like a charm :)
[Click General] jdean2k6:
Yeh I have one of the rainbow spots..too i wanna know how can it be removed....cause i cant get rid of it.
[Click General] najzlijiji:
that oil spot or Newton ring can be easily fixed by removing top mask and inserting sharp object between LCD and digitizer couple millimeters and then pull the digitizer up so it detaches LCD and newton ring disapears, then while you removing sharp object, used to pull digitizer up, press with finger from center outwards to pump out air and place it back firmly .. I`ve successfully fixed two HTC tattoo`s and one HTC HD display with that technique ....

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul c:
A difficult question to answer, it's a bit like saying which car can you recommend me?

Anyway, when you say stock ROM - 6.5 has not been released for Xperia, so you will need to consider the custom ROMs.

Then you have all flavours. The biggest difference is between 6.5 and 6.5.3. The latter is more "touch friendly" and you can quickly identify them in photos because it has a big Windows icon at the bottom left.

Then the UI that sits on top, I assume you would be looking for Sense (Manila 2.5).

I would suggest going for 6.5 - I've been using Valkyrie Firestorm for a while now, and it's fast and stable. A new version of the ROM - the version number is not related to the WM version number - has been released (v7.3 I think), but try this: http://valkyrie.htc-files.com/downl...irestormLEO/v7.0/x1_firestorm_v7.0.21907XT.7z
