Hi all,

at the moment, my hero sprint (I think this is the proper name) is running on the factory 1350mAh battery. I am pretty content, but I am reading about 1800mAh batteries that should live a lot longer! But on the batteryboss.org I see most are just rip-offs.

Whats the battery of your choice? What are your results and: where did you order it?

I am more than open for all advice about this subject, as long as the battery fits in the stock opening. I do not want my hero to become any bigger than is is ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] liverpoolfchero:
htcheroblog.com/2010/02/14/mugen-power-1550mah-3200mah-htc-hero-battery-review/

Read the five pages and it should give you an idea as to which battery (if any) you want.

Unless your away from your charger for more than one night then the standard htc battery should be sufficient, although I personally have the huuuuge 3200mAh battery which is amazing and lasted over 40 hours for me even with wireless and gps pretty much constantly on. Hope that helped :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] btdag:
I also have a 3200 mAh battery and its lasted 14 days on minimal use! That's how good the Hero can be! I use the stock Battery for day to day use though as I get 2 days out of it usually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] pa64:
I use 2200mAh purchased from Clove uk (part number is HTC-BATEHEROW-B15).

My battery goes down to 60-70% after a day use, WiFi on all time and quite a lot of calls.

It used to go down to 20-30% with the orginal battery.

The real good thing is that the phone has now taken an extra 5mm of thickness and this extra bit makes it much much easier to hold on my hands.

The cover color is real white and does not match the white Hero color, no big deal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] MacaronyMax:
I dont expect many will have a much higher capacity worth buying if you dont want to add depth to the phone soory :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Coedy:
If anyone is interested the Clove batteries (2200mAh) are only £7ish delivered to the UK now!

It may be a pricing error? no idea, either way Ive ordered! :P

Only available in white though... but almost twice the power for less than a 10er! Im in!

(I will probably cover the back cover in stickers anyway... its what all the Apple people do so its easily acceptable for a Android user to do it :P lol)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] ikmax:
I also bought one :D And thank god i ahve a white hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kaiowas82:
i bought one too... :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Coedy:
Well my order just got cancelled by them because apparently they arnt in stock (even though they have been on the site listed as 'in stock' for the past few days) and they have removed the item from the site!

Havn't responded to my email asking if my money has been returned either!

Very professional... :rolleyes::(
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kaiowas82:
mine is arrived last tuesday :)

it was at 73% when i first put it in on tue afternoon and only last night i managed to have empty battery. Charged for 12-14h, now at 11h50mins i have 91% left.

Have to say i've done 6calls, sent 2text, internet 3gH for an hour, updated a couple of apps, that's it. nice (and cheap) for me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kaiowas82:
50% at 1d12h7m :D

and i've been using the phone quite a lot, including a couple of full wipe-flashing-backup :D:D:D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] MartijnGP:
I have a 3200 mAh battery somewhere. But I really don't like the bulky back. When using Froyo, I had to use it as my phone wouldn't survive 12 hours with the stock battery. Now, running Gingerbread, a 1500 mAh battery I bought from DealExtreme for 5 USD lasts about 20 hours normale use.

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/3-7v-1500mah-rechargeable-li-ion-battery-for-htc-touch-pro-2-35632

You do have to cut away a little bit of the plastic though. But they are cheap, I've got two of them now, one in the phone and one charged in my pocket.

I think this is as big as it's going to get without having to replace the backdoor?

Digging up old thread but just wondered,has anyone used those 1550 mAh replacement batteries.

I'd like to buy one from ebay but i don't know if it is worth it.

Thanks in advance :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] CGeyser:
There's 3200 mAh, 2200 mAh, 1550 mAh, and the stock 1350 mAh batteries.

I have the 2200 mAh version.

Its only $13.75 USD and is smaller than the 3200 mAh version.

It comes with the back case and lasts almost twice as long as the stock battery.

I wouldn't spend +$79 on just a battery. I'd rather buy 2 2200 mAh batteries. Cheaper and easier to carry.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talhamid:
Guys, it has been six months now since my switch from Symbian to Android.

I still respect Symbian, I just think Nokia have made a mess of it. One thing I REALLY miss is internet connection on 'as needed' basis. For example, with Symbian, in case of push email, I just told the app to use the connection. Whenever the time came to poll, the app would trigger whatever connection was there in the order of priorities (wifi, then GPRS), do its download, and then disconnect.

I sorely miss that in Android. You first have to enable connections and then apps will connect, the apps will return with a stupid error message in case you have forgotten to turn the connection on.

I think this is ONE thing that gives rise to 90% of Android's famous battery woes. With symbian, you didn't have to connect/scan for connections at all times in order to get periodic internet updates. With Android, you have to keep them on 24 hrs even if you download email once every hour.

There are apps to address this, particularly the excellent JuiceDefender, but most such apps either address 'APN" or "WiFI',. not both on an interchangeable basis. Also fully working JD costs money and can be difficult to configure.

Is there an easier solution to this? If not, I will urge modders to please consider this one in their upcoming ROMs, although I think it will take Google's attention to actually get this thing right.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h2o pete:
Yeah agreed. I forgot about that feature in Symbian, it was really useful. Would be nice to see that implemented in Android.

I thought that the Galaxy S had a fully-functional FM radio, but I don't see any built-in apps to make use of it.

Ah now I see you flashed your phone to "death". It seems your nv_data.bin is corrupt. If you have no backup you are out of luck. (nv_data.bak or .nv_data.bak)

Here are the instruction how to rebuild your file if you have a bak file.

for real? i have no backup.. the first that i do is flash a i9000 firmware with an captivate kernel because there was a lot of at&t apps on the phone!

thx for the link, but no success

i order two unlockcodes on trusted websites because i still waiting for a code...

out of luck for real??? because i have my imei number, not the wellknown corrupt one!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nCoder:
Please search the forum. There is someone there that can rebuild it for you. I suppose he cannot disclose the method due to the forum policy (something regarding changing/setting IMEI).

There is always a way ;)

If that is not possible, then, there are sites that you can BUY the unlock code for your phone given the IMEI.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] H03!:
thx =)

i buy a code online, still waiting. hope i get one!

have u guys any references from unlocking websites? i read there a lot of faker and nonprofessional out there!

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sychie:
I did it, finally:D

First of all, Id like to thank to JsChiSurf for his original instruction for other SENSE phone.

Remember to do !NANDROID BEFORE!

If you want to have somethink like this, do:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *

After this you have to delete all HTCLockscreen wallpapers.

I prefer to use Android Commander.

Go to /system/customize/resource

delete all wallpaper with *lockscreen.jpg end

After this download zip from attachment, unpack it to sdk/tools dir and:

adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
adb reboot

Tested on Robomix 2.0b, It should work on other Hero ROM's. I hope you like it
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] crazyVII:
man...

... dont try this on an ChocolateRom 2.1 :=)...

results in something like this...

I had this when i havent pushed HtcLockScreen.apk - same results;)

Hey i recently purchased a 16GB Mini SD. As soon as i got it i formatted it to FAT32 then tried loading Android onto it. Went to file explorer on my phone and the SD didnt show up. So i plugged my phone back into the comp (i dont have an SD reader on my comp) and it showed the SD's storage to have 707GB! Yes 707GB! lol Unless this is a super magic card, something is wrong lol.

I Have tried formatting it again but under windows the only options are exFAT and NTFS. Im not to sure what exFAT is?

Any light shed on this is appreciated :-)
[HD2 Accessories] DN41:
how much did you pay?

i guess its one of these cheaper ones which are only shown with a higher capacity but are in reality a 2gb card or something like that.

DN41
[HD2 Accessories] tomar5e:
$40 Australian dollars. Thing is when i first put in the phone it read 16GB but when i tried putting Android on it it wasnt read by the phone. And now its 707GB, i wish it was really haha
[HD2 Accessories] DN41:
try to format it as ntfs or exfat and back to fat32...

does this help?

DN41
[HD2 Accessories] tomar5e:
I tried formatting to NTFS and a window pops up 'windows was unable to complete the format'

And thats all hmmm.. maybe a dodgy card?
[HD2 Accessories] maximus9314:
Did you not mean microSD? I'd love to see how you can fit a miniSD (larger than microSD) into the microSD slot of HD2.

Where did you purchase your card from, mate? If the answer is eBay then there's a good chance it's fake.
[HD2 Accessories] jonathongeiger:
I bought a 32GB micro SD (Kingston) off ebay... It showed up as a 32GB sd card on my laptop, and tried to work on my phone, but every time would try to run android I had problems... I thought I was just a noob doing something wrong, and honestly wasn't gettin a lot of help from others on the forum. Tried new builds, new ROMs, nothing.. Bought a new 8GB card, Perfect! Everything works! The questionable cards seem to lead to questionable results. I would buy one from a brick & morter store and try it. If it works, great, if not, take it back. Good luck!
[HD2 Accessories] maximus9314:
...and I beg you could probably read/write 32GB of data on your laptop.

However, a common hack used by fake cards is to only store indexes of files beyond its real capacity on the card and store the actual data on your hard disk. Once you take the card to other host (i.e. HD2) then it would all fall apart...
[HD2 Accessories] tomar5e:
As far as i know its a legitimate card. Came fully sealed in the original packaging. And yes it is a microSD, im sure you know what i mean.

Question i ask now is it possible to bring back a corrupt card to life. I downloaded this tool to re-format but no luck. It says 'this format is not recognized' i even read somewhere else putting it in the freezer might give it a kick start haha
[HD2 Accessories] maximus9314:
You must got a good deal if you bought locally then. www.staticice.com.au tells me the cheapest 16GB microSD is $41 plus delivery and it's only class 2.

Depends. IF you bought a fake it could be well packed as real. Then again, I don't know where you bought yours from.

[HD2 Accessories] Fahads:
I replaced my hd2 SD card 3 times all of them are SanDisk 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB.

And every time it works for 2 weeks or 3 then it get corrupted so I’m sick of buying SD cards for this device.

I have no idea why it's getting corrupted even the tech support says my device is ok no problems found.

So I decided to save my money and wait for HTC Windows Phone 7 :cool:
[HD2 Accessories] daiash:
i had nothing but problems with android on the hd2 and micro sd's all are genuine cards too, managed to recover the files and format the cards luckily otherwise i'd be buying two new micro sd cards, leave android for android devices lol, windows phone 7 out soon no doubt there'll be some new roms out for us happy HD2 owners then.....
[HD2 Accessories] ahasbini:
I have the same prblm with the 2gb and 4gb microsds. The 2gb one got corrupted till the extent I can't format it nor recover the files from it.

The same happened to the 4gb except that the format on my hd2 seems to be working but not helping much, it's taking too much time and yet the storage card folder still didn't appear.

The formatting prgms on my computer gave me errors when i tried formatting the microsd. So in the end, the microsd is corrupted badly as the first one.

I realized that it been a while since your last post, so any luck in fixing ur prblm?

Hey ppl's, this has just happened to me a second time today. I happend once before when I was traveling. Though I think I have quite possibly found a link. While I was traveling i was useing the Win mobile app for facebook to upload photos (which i hardly use) Then today I was using it (randomly) again and shortly after the micro SD card was unreadable. Could it be something to do with the app / the way it creates multiple subfolders to cache photos from facebook profiles? :o
[General Questions and Answers] miancule:
I was wondering if there is a way to make a Windows Mobile (6.5, if that matters) ignore a specific cell/tower.

The problem I'm trying to solve is that in the area I'm living in I am having issues only when connected to a specific tower (I know, this is a provider issue - they are probably having problems with that tower, but...) - so I'm trying to make my phone (HTC Touch HD/Blackstone) ignore that tower completely.

The usual suspects:

1. The radio software itself

2. The RIL (Radio Interface Layer) - is there any validation callback from the RIL when the cell configuration changes ?

TIA for any info on this matter...
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
As far I know you can't do anything about it. This stuff is buried deep in the radio ROM itself.

There is nothing in the standard RIL library that deals with it. The call backs are for requests for information via RIL_xxxxxxx calls. There is a possibility that it has been implemented through the driver catch all function RIL_DeviceSpecific(), but as this is defined by the OEM as the device and driver is built, you have to know the parameters to pass, and what gets delivered back to the callback routine.

Even if this stuff is there, it tends to be undocumented, and may change from OEM to another, and maybe even from one phone model to the next.
