I have the New Blue/Black Active Case and i LOVE it it fits perfectly its easy to take off if you need to swap batteries or put it in a dock, the new STyle Active is very durable doesn't crack easily.

Ive had mine for months now and the only visable issue with the back is where the Seidio name is its rubbing off from being set down and rubbed against other than that it's great it fits perfectly doesn't shift no gaps nothing.

the pictures they posted for the active in the beginning of this post is from the Active LIMITED it was their trial run before they changed it to the new Style

This is The New Active Case
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idealisticrealism:
I have been trying to update to the 3.29.651.5 update since its release on September 22 and it just continually says, "Checking..." It never stops. I've left it there for thirty minutes before. It never tells me there isn't an available update nor that 3.29.651.5 is available.

I took the phone into a Sprint store and they said to come back in forty-five minutes for the upgrade (a bit of a wait!). I came back after fifty and they told me they would have to wipe the phone to install the software update.

Is there an easier way to fix this? Sprint support gave me a link to a download for the update, but said it is a risk. Is there a way to just fix what is making it continually check so that it finally just finds the software update by the normal means?

Thank you for any help.

just download the ota from here in the 4g developement area and connect to your pc and update, be sure to sync your contacts first, and back your apps up to just incase, i know when i updated the wife's hero her contacts were ok, and did not get deleted from the phone, the apps i cant remember if i had to add them back in or not.

Great game! I was surprised to see it's free, although when I played it and the ads popped up mid-game I was quite disappointed. Whilst playing I tapped the screen, but it must have been at the exact moment that an ad appeared and I ended up being presented with a video trailer for "The Social Network"... I don't mind unintrusive ads, but these are annoying. I'd happily pay to get rid of them.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] radu.tanasescu:
Hello,

I understand that Google Sync is supposed to keep my contacts safe so I never loose them.

I initially started of with a nokia 5230, I used Ovi Suite to import all my contacts in Outlook, then I got them to my HTC Hero with HTC Sync. All great.

I also notice I have contacts that where in my gmail account, and I've even linked them with my phone and facebook contacts.

However, if I now login to my Gmail account, I only see the gmail contacts in there, no phone contacts.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AeronK:
I had the same problem. In your 'People' application (Contacts) on the phone, if you hit menu and then export the contacts to your SD card, you can then import them back to your Google contacts area on the phone. This is the only contacts/People area that will synchronise with Google.

After doing that, just go into View under the contacts menu and choose to view only Google contacts. The phone contacts list will still be there just not viewable as you will be loking at Google contacts instead.

I have done this and avoid sync with Outlook as I was getting too many duplicates - all synchronisation now is direct between the phone and Google. I do however use Coogle Calendar Sync between Google and Outlook and it seems to work OK.

Hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] radu.tanasescu:
Thanks, I'll try that.

Anyone got and use the extended battery from verizon?
[Fascinate Accessories] saps:
No way

Better to use an undervolted kernel and/or underclock the cpu and run it at 800Mhz top to extend battery life than too get this behemoth

[Fascinate Accessories] PorscheGuy:
I have it and I love it. It doesn't look as bad as it does in photos and I no longer feel like the phone is going to slip out of my hand.
[Fascinate Accessories] burningembers:
Have you noticed a significant increase in up-time though? The thing holding me back is that the factory battery is 1500mAh, the extended is 2200mAh. That seems like a negligible increase to me, and I'm apt to wait for a Seidio 3500mAh or something so that it is at least a double...

I'll admit, though, I know nothing about battery numbers/ratings so maybe there's some sort of non-1:1 factoring where 700mAh more isn't really less than half an increase in up-time?
[Fascinate Accessories] churro7:

[Fascinate Accessories] thomasjefferson:
I bought the extended battery for mine and couldn't be happier. I personally found the stock phone too thin and too light personally. I like the feel in my hand much better when using the phone. Added bonus is the fact that when I set the phone down with the screen facing up my camera is now raised higher and less likely to touch my desk or whatever. Only complaint is its harder to hold the phone between my head and shoulder now when talking. Overall I highly suggest picking one up. Still have yet to see a case that will fit it though.

[Click General] _david_94:
There is no perfect ROM. The 1.6 AOSP ROMs have the camera problem as well. The most usable ROM is HDCR's (in my opinion), which is practically stock. Only thing not working is bluetooth file transfer.

As you use the phone, it burns through battery life, but standby time is astounding. I have Juice defender and juice plotter on and have been testing it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] micpuk:
Just looking for a bit of guidance.

Got my hands on a HTC Magic 1.6 after my sister upgraded her contract, always fancied having a play around with Android so I set out.

Tried loading the sappimg.nbh on to the SD, booting up by holding POWER + VOL - but I always get update failed so I download the Android SDK.

Loaded fast boot from command prompt and got the message:

downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY

booting... OKAY

I was able to go in to backup/restore and make a Nandroid backup which shows on the SD card itself.

Now my problem is when i run "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" at command prompt it isnt doing anything.

The phone is in recovery mode; but if I reboot it and try and hold HOME + POWER it just boots to a screen with an ! mark, a triangle around it and the phone.

My SD card is blank when I start, do I need files on this? Do I need the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G image already on there?

Any help would be great :) I'm sure I'm missing something blatently obvious.

If I get this step done, I'm guessing it's then just a case of loading my ROM on to the SD card; booting in to recovery and running update.zip?

Cheers. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] micpuk:
Okay.

So I went ahead and stuck the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G on the sd card itself.

Went through the process again and I'm now able to boot in to Recovery mode by holding POWER + HOME. :D

Do I need to leave this on the SD card at all times? Just incase I want to boot in to recovery and change the rom?

Also, I'm guessing now it's just a case of downloading my choice of ROM and flashing?

Hello,

at first my english isn't very well, I think xD.

last week I received my wildfire with t-mobile branding and flashed Wildpuzzle ROM. Thanks much for this! It's great! But now I'm searching for a solution to raise battery life of my wf. I'm already using battery boost from market and advanced task killer. Set CPU didn't work-> speed was set to 245MHz and 528MHz max/480MHz min where set from me.

OC didn't work because perflip coudn't be disabelt-> invalid kernel ?! -> I think I'd flashed OC kernel but when I try flashing kernel again, system will not boot. Kernel is 2.6.32.21-... root via unrevoked v3

second is: maybe its possible to get facebook for htc sense working...friendstream seems to work in background but widget is bad...not necessary but would be nice!

thanks for answers!
[Wildfire General] ryandi7:
it isn't recommended to use task killers. try to create profile in setcpu that underclocks your processor while the screen is off
[Wildfire General] xylgn:
if you want to increase the battery life

1) close the all vibrations

2) set screen brightness to %25

3) get a task killer, ram booster and startup cleaner. disable unnecessary programs with this programs.

4) switch off Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, 3G and only turn them on when needed. i set up juice edefender for them. it is wonderful

5) synchronizing data in the background eats battery. disable it: main sreen > menu > settings > accouts & sync > background data

6) another battery hog is location. it constanty uploads your current location to google, based on wireless networks or GPS. switch it off: main screen > settings > location > uncheck both wireless and GPS.

7) use dark-colored background picture

8) if you think to buy, i ordered mugen 1800 mah battery. it raised the battery life %40. i cant share the link but you can find it on google or ebay.

i did all of them and it increased to 7 days!!!
[Wildfire General] imlgl:
You shouldn't use task killers, as the phone has RAM management which will shut down any apps using battery.
[Wildfire General] adeadrat:
you should never use task killers, android is killing not used apps by it self when it is needed.

thanks for answers! now i'm trying some of your tips and i will test with taskmanagers and without to find the best solution for me.
[Wildfire General] CrimzonEyed:
Insteed of task killers.

Download spare parts from market.

open spare parts and scroll down to:

Activity/process management.

changing from normal to aggresssive results in:

The activity manager will agressively finish activities and processes as soon as they are no longer needed.

Much better than some ****ing task killers.
