I'm also very interested in this and had the same setup for my nexus. Did you just buy oem batteries or did you have luck with any after market options?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jdallac:
at first I tried a battery off ebay that promised to be "just as good as factory" for only $8.

It did not hold a charge at all. I returned it for a full refund.

I bought a $25 dollar factory battery back when the nexus one online store was open and that worked perfectly, of course.

For getting my sister the same battery swap setup on her Mytouch slide, I just ordered an extra battery directly from tmobile, but they charged $50 for the thing :(

I'm not sure what an extra battery for a Mytouch 4g costs, but probably it will be close to the $50 the mytouch slide battery was if you get it from tmobile.

Ordering from them is probably overpaying, but after my bad experience with nexus one ebay batteries, I thought the extra money was worth some peace of mind. Because I'll tell ya: you cannot tell the difference between a cheap imitation battery and the real thing just by looking at them. They are identical aside from the horrible charge capacity.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] alex9025:
YMMV, I got 2 of them for my G1 about a year ago, each would last about the same as the battery that came with the phone. I drowned one when I was swapping them on a rocking boat lol but the other is still working like a champ.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ESKIMOn00b:
In my g1 I had a seido innocell that packed approx 20% more charge into the same size package.... the batteries are pricey, but worth it to me...

I am weighing buying either the Focus or HTC surround, but it is contigent on which bluetooth stack comes loaded on either.

Hi,

I'm new, not much of a techie but I need some help. I just rooted my Tmobile Vibrant, it's still running 2.1 Update 1. I want to wifi tether so I downloaded Barnacle Legacy. Everything opens fine, but when I try to search wifi hotspots on other devices, nothing shows. I am using a Droid and a Mytouch 2nd gen and neither will find the Vibrants Barnacle spot. I was then told to get Wireless Tether for Root Users app. I got Appbrain, Android market and tried the internet and all tell me that "the item can not be found". Where can I get a copy of this app? Or even better, can someone tell me how to make the Barnacle app work? It says it's operating, beaconing ad hoc but nothing never connects. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy.:
bascally rom manager you can download from the android market, this programm allows you to download diffrent roms and extras authough i would recomend getting them off here for a better discription and screenys lol also you can boot into clockwork mod recovery menu from rom manager witch from there you can flash updates, exploits, games, themes etc or do nandroid backups and restore whitch is bascally like a system restore point that backs up every part of the phone. hope this helps and sorry for spelling

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you hurt you phone... Only do this if you know what you're doing.

List of CyanogenMod Apps confirmed working:

In order to install CM apps to the G2 you will need ROOT as these apps reside in /system/app

To install:

1. Root

2. Use Root Explorer to MOVE any system app (and corresponding .odex file if present) to /sdcard/backup

3. Reboot

4. Click on CM apk to install

5. Done!

All CM6 apps can be downloaded on the CyanogenMod Forum

It doesn't matter too much now. Just wait and we will get all kinds of custom ROMs and you can flash whatever you want. After OTAs come out, usually you can get a custom deodexed version within hours. At least that's how it was on my N1. I'm pretty sure there are more G2s in peoples hands now than N1s, hence more interest? Just guessing...

Back then, we didn't have S-OFF so putting the app back after it was deleted was impossible. Now we do have S-OFF so we're all good, as long as you backed-up the apps prior to removing them.

do i have to delete the the original .apk and .odex files from the system/app after moving the originals to the sdcard/backup? or do i just move it, and leave the original stuff in the system app. and reboot. and then install the CM apk's?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootx1:
Hi All,

I'm loathed to ask, as there are so many similar questions, and know that I should just hang in there for a few days and get the official update, without bothering anyone, but, I just can't get my head around all the various bits of information available...

Using the registry hack on Kies version 1.5.1.10074_2, my understanding is that I can upgrade without issue, and to go back (if desired) I just amend product code in registry to an older one? Please confirm?

Also, do I need to do anything in respect of Sim-Lock, or does reg hack work ok without unlocking.

I want to de-brand, but not fussed about network/sim lock and would rather leave as-is. Main concern is that I can go backwards without issue in case of warranty issues.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgclifton:
I'm not 100% but pretty sure you can easily go back - all Orange do is add some apps you probably don't want. I've upgraded to the unbranded one using the reg hack with no problems at all (touch wood!).

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nipper68:
I don't think this is related to my G2, but I thought I'd solicit some input to be certain.

I've been a T-Mo customer for about 5 years, and recently upgraded from a G1 to a G2. My wife upgraded from a G1 to a MyTouch Slide (you may not consider this an "upgrade"!).

Anyway, about a week after upgrading both phones, we suddenly had no service at, in or around (about a 1 mile radius) our home. We tried putting our SIMs back into our old G1's and trying it -- no service. My mom (on my Family plan) came over, and she had no service.

I called T-Mo and they submitted a service ticket, which came back "the engineers said that once the leaves fall off the trees, you'll have service". Besides this being laughably ridiculous, I've had service for 5 years with no problems, regardless of the season. So, something changed...

Customer loyalty offered to upgrade my wife to a G2, so she can use WiFi calling at home (I'm currently using that as a temporary option), but that's only a short-term solution.

I believe that the phone upgrade happens to be a coincidence, and they have done something to the local tower which caused the issue.

Does anyone have any insight, similar experience with a G2 upgrade....anything?

Thanks!
[General Topics] lsxrx7:
I have a hard time deciding which one to get

the Desire ( G2 Vision) is per-rooted it made the choice a little easier,

but the specs on the Droid 2 Global is just a bit better, I am sure it will get unlocked / rooted in no time as well.

i have the N1 right now and i kinda want that physical keyboard
[General Topics] redpoint73:
Build quality of HTC products is superior to Moto, IMO. I haven't had a chance to personally play with the Desire Z, or the Droid 2 Global. But I've played with the "regular flavor" Droid 2, and the physical build quality was disappointing. Seemed cheap, and the keyboard was mediocre feeling. The phone was laggier than I would have expected, too. I don't expect the Global version to be much different, except with GSM radios and a slightly faster CPU. Physical keyboards on HTC phones has been top notch for years now.
[General Topics] Mackattack:
Which has the better sound quality? Which has the better cpu/gpu combo, and which will likely last longer in terms of usage/update.

Really touch call

i guess i have to go to the store and play with with the droid 2 keyboard to make a decision.
[General Topics] Mackattack:
I am told the D2 worlds keyboard is even more improved. How about that.
[General Topics] MacaronyMax:
The nexus S & Gingerbread are to be out very soon, IMO get a phone with gingerbread already so you dont have to wait for an update. Also the Droid global 1.2ghz is just an overclocked one of the Droid 2 so its not really new hardware where as the DZ has a new qualcom in and is underclocked to 800mhz and still proforms better thn N1 aswell as it being able to stand 1.7Ghz and be stable :D

Although I think you should wait till Daul cores are out.

In a side not also Gingerbread will be released the same time as the Nexus S if you do wait maybe you could see what the NS is like ;)

Oh and btw was in same position as you ysterday till i read android and mes article about Gingerbread and the Nexus S
[General Topics] Mackattack:
D2 global based on the pics I saw has a slightly better keyboard than the D2(and maybe the milestone 2, but I haven't see the keyboard for that yet).

I actually read some are getting 1.83ghz stable out of the Desire Z/G2. But, the key question maybe how does the gpu compare.

It's usually the kernel not the build itself that support/doesn't support extended battery. You should read the change log for the kernels to see if extended battery support has been added. So before you change your builds, take a look at the changelogs for the kernels to make sure your extended battery is supported

Almost all the roms here right now (as of 2010-11-09) are based off the stock sense rom and feature 4g. The only ones that don't are CyanogenMod, MIUI, the recent EVO-DEV AOSP rom, and any others that are based of Cyanogen or the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). I don't think there are more than a couple besides the three I mentioned.

There are several that are AOSP-themed (without most HTC Sense features) but they are still based on the stock Sense rom and feature 4G.

Hey everyone, i was looking online about the GPU of the Captivate VS. The Iphone 4. If what i read was correct, the captivate has a much better GPU than the iphone. The only thing i was wondering, is will there ever be a real use of this?

I personally would love to have some of the games that are on the iphone on my captivate.

For example, super monkey ball, or those new games coming out by epic games and ID. They have truly astonishing graphics and look really really awesome.

And as a side question, there would be no easy way of porting an ios game to android or running ios on the captivate, right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
It's upto the game developers to take their skills onto android. I hope they will, but android should at least get rid of paid apps piracy in order for that to happen (same thing with iPhone's jailbreaking, but I don't know how the devs there are still staying with iOS)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxRabbit:
Is piracy a problem on Android? It was all over the iPhone community but I've never seen a mention of it here. Anytime anyone mentions it no one thinks it's remotely a good idea because of how open Android is, a pirated app could access any of your data and do whatever it wanted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Unfortunately, it is an issue. Some of the newby XDA members don't read the rules and have been posting links and downloads to apps that they shouldn't be. There's already a few websites set up that perform the same function as Appulo.us and Apptrackr do for the iPhone. And let's not forget the dozens of torrents that are out there. And a pirated app can do the same thing on an iPhone in regards to your data, there have already been a couple cases if I recall about apps "calling home" with your data.
