[EVO 4G General] parker81:
my stock evo4g Battery wont last much more than 4-5 hours. it seems to drain VERY fast, 10% in 30-40min...

i know i know, turn gps off, uncheck mobile network, cut back on widgets, blah blah blah... if i am going to do all that, i might as well go back to a flip phone or a stupid blackberry...

i have an amazing phone, i want to use it as such...

ive read the seido 1500 batt is more or less a waste. i DONT want to add any thickness to my Evo...

is the Stock Battery the best replacement?
[EVO 4G General] teamgreen02:
Get the 1800 mah battery from eBay. Check the thread in the accessories forum for a link. I think it is htcexpress.com. mine lasts longer than stock and they are the same size, cheap too. I recommend an external battery charger to keep a spare charged.
[EVO 4G General] gmarkiek:
I have the extended battery and i love it. Ican use my tune inradio for bout 8 hrs straight and still have juice left over. It adds a lil to the back but who cares. I can use my EVO for what it is intended for now.

thanks guys... ill check that out the slim one...

*edit*

i cant find any info on said battery...

i just dont want to add thickness to it...
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
I didn't want to add any thickness to my EVO either, but after using the 3500 battery for a while, I don't even notice the added thickness, and there's no way I'll go back. I can now fully utilize the EVO without worrying about power.

It really is that big of a difference.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuffguy:
So my phone went through the washer last night and its finally up and sorta running again. It went into safe mode, so I reflashed my current ROM and now It seems I'm unable to perform a restore through recovery. So I instead i go through the adb steps and get all the way to selecting the recovery image and I get an error. Is there anything I can do from here? Or am I just SOL??

I'm too newb (< 8 posts) to be able to attach the link, so here it is...

I just agreed to meet someone to swap out my rooted HTC Evo with a Samsung Epic. I hope I'm making the right decision. I miss a physical qwerty so much. I hope the battery life on the epic is halfway decent. Thoughts?
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
The battery life for my Epic lasts all day before I have to put it back to charge, about 15 hrs. But it all depends on how you use the phone. Also welcome to the Epic community

ProTip: If you slide your finger along the status bar you can adjust the brightness to save battery. I believe auto-brightness needs to be turned off to do this.
[Epic 4G General] imwillzillla:
The huge gap in the experience between the Evo being better than the epic (in terms of modding) has been lessened seeing how Froyo is up and running and Devs are having a field day. If the Keyboard is what you want i'd do the deal straight up. If the person wants you to throw something extra in though, don't do it. It isn't worth it.

On a side note am I the only person upset that the keyboad doesn't have a dedicated @ key but has a dedicated smiley key???
[Epic 4G General] warriordude07:
So after 6 hours with the Epic I am beyond speechless. Sure I would love a neat custom rom but this thing is fast and swype is working outstanding.. I missed the keyboard more than I could imagine and after taking off the gaudy screen protector the graphics and color is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It got down to about 50% after 6 hours of heavy usage but I plan on getting it better. I have a few questions.. Is there no battery monitor in settings.. because I had to guess it was 50% by looking at the battery bar. there was no 10% mark in settings that I could find. I plan on searching up on how to root it.. Need my wireless tether.. BTW if anyone has a direct link I'd consider it an early XMAS gift.. ironically I heard Froyo was released today.. the day I decide to swap out the evo for the epic.. I'm not missing a thing about the evo.. it was way to bulky and wide.. plus my fingers are like hot dogs lol..

[Streak 5 Android Development] inais:
first of all i am sorry if this has been answered before. Ive searched the forums but cant seem to find my answer.

her is my problem. I upgraded from ATT 1.6 baseband 31 to o2 2.1 leaked version 6941. I then tried to go to DJ steves 2.2 and it froze at the dell logo. so i tried to reflash the o2 2.1 6941 now when i try to reboot using the volume up and down and power button. all i get is a black screen.

Is there anyway i can just go back to stock ATT 1.6? i have tried flashing the 1.6 recovery img and install the apk but it still just goes to the black screen.

any help would be much appreciated

[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Just a note, since I see there is a lot of interest in streaming video content on the G Tablet, with a bunch of people excited that we had the TV.com app working now that we have full market access.

Though we still have no Netflix, and you can hack your way into making Hulu sort-of work, Amazon Video On Demand works as is - it's all Flash video, and plays just fine on my G Tablet.

I just watched the first quarter of Hellboy and then watched a full episode of Lie to Me Season 2, which I already had in my Amazon Video Library from purchasing for my Roku.

Make sure you are on the full desktop Amazon site, not the mobile site (may need to change your User Agent depending on your browser configuration). Just click on Full Screen once the video player loads, and you'll get the movie you want in full screen glory.

Also, as with everything video-related, after sleeping and waking up, the G Tablet is a bit stuttery unless you use OverclockWidget to force the min clock speed higher. If that happens to you and you don't feel like using OCWidget, a quick reboot should solve the problem. :)

[General Questions and Answers] Climor:
Hi

I am living in Israel and bought an Xperia X10 in South Africa in August.

In Israel, I rooted the phone and installed Hebrew fonts and the phone was functioning perfectly well. Last week I did an upgrade to android 2.1 and the phone was restored to it's state prior to the root. I have subsequently tried rooting with whatever resources I have found on the internet and am unable to. Could this be because I am re-rooting the phone after it was already rooted? I have tried the Super one-touch but it hangs all the time. I have tried exploid but I am unable to run the shell.

Can anyone help me because I'm staring to lose faith...

Sorry to be redundant but when it goes back to cwr can you at that point preform a recovery? Or do a factory reset maybe?

Also you dont need baconbits when you install cm. Baconbits was kind of a sample kernel before cm was released.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If you've got Cyanogen installed, then you shouldn't be trying to use Baconbits on top. Baconbits is designed to be used on top of the stock ROM, to give you some of the CM functionality.

Edit - oops, sorry, didn't notice the previous poster already said that.

Exactly. From what I've seen trying to use baconbits on top of cyanogenmod is a very dangerous and unstable combination.

[Hero CDMA General] Easy10pins:
I've searched the forum, found some good information but I am still coming up short on getting my phone to normal.

My (Rooted) Hero was perfect until I installed a beta version of Opera Mini Browser and then it went all hinky.

Some of the touch screen keys stopped working and parts of the screen have become unresponsive.. The entire phone (software) is now unstable.

I have tried a Nandroid recovery to no avail.

I've tried the steps available at the below link but still come up short.

http : // developer. htc. com / adp. html

Are there any steps or instructions specifically for the Hero to flash with a new factory image/radio/system?

Also, I'm a little sketchy on fastboot.

Any help would be appreciated. I almost Hulk Smashed the phone but I remembered I got excellent information from this site when I installed my first ROM.

Thank you.

I apologize that my search for this information didn't keep me from making a thread about it.
[Hero CDMA General] rideascooter:
fix it

just find the latest, or any, RUU.

run that. it'll take everything back to the way it came

try this one: ftp://hero:hero@files164.cyberlynk.net/HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe

it's not the Newest, but almost the newest.

[Hero CDMA General] Easy10pins:
I have tried to update the RUU.

The process starts, the screen on my Hero reads HTC and then nothing.

The installer then displays an ERROR 171 message regarding USB connection.

I guess I should have mentioned that in the first post. :D

Also I have tried to reflash the current ROM with the same results. The touch screen is dead in certain areas in portrait mode but not landscape mode. The same for the touch keyboard.

RUU doesn't work. The update process starts and then the phone disconnects from the computer.

I used it to run the ruu when it kept failing the usual way.

To access it poeer off your phone and turn it on while pressing vol up + home and you should see a white screen and it will say fastboot usb. then run the ruu.

It should complete.
[Hero CDMA General] Easy10pins:
I have several different USB cables and have tried them all including the one that came with the phone.

[Hero CDMA General] Easy10pins:
Gentlemen,

Thank you for your assistance. Although I was able to install the latest RUU, the touch screen is still unresponsive. I can't say the phone is bricked but it's pretty much useless at this point.

Everything was good until I installed the beta for Opera Mini mobile. Then things went screwy. Oh well.

Good thing I had all of my apps and data backed up to the SD card so when my Samsung Moment comes in, I can get back up to speed quick.

Thanks again for all of your assistance.
[General Questions and Answers] kamikaze666:
Hi Guys,

I've been reading the posts in the forum and I realized that, if anybody can help me with this dilemma, it's YOU guys !

I want to buy a new phone and I want it to be an Android Smartphone... :D Everything OK so far... I "window shopped" a bit and considering the limited options that are available in my country, I finally decided that the best options, price/performance wise, are the Motorola Milestone A853 and the Motorola Defy.

Now I've been reading about them for the past month, about the hardware, what are the advantages and disadvantages of both phones, I saw numerous reviews for both phones and read everything there is to read about the processors and GPU's in both phones but now I want to read a personal opinion on both phones, why should I choose one over the other and why...

I really hope that you guys can help me with this !

Now I imagine that some of you guys will say that none of them are that great because of the processor, or the Android version or the fact that none of them might be getting the Gingerbread update, so, If possible, I would appreciate if you could leave all of that aside and express your opinion related to these 2 phone as they are right now, with no updates or hacks and if possible, share YOUR experience with them as well.

Of course, you will be asking me what I want to use the phone for, well... I would like to... Ummm... use it as a ... phone, browse the web and be able play some 3D games (e.g.: Polarbit Games, Gameloft HD games, Quake etc.) without much lag (preferably with NO lag at all :P).

Please HELP !!!
[General Questions and Answers] ozmulti:
Defy is new. Milestone is pretty old.

Defy has 512mb ram

Milestone has 256mb ramb

Defy's processor is 200mhz faster .. and made by Texas Instruments.

Should be more economical on battery life as well.

Moreover, the Defy comes with a bigger battery. 1540 vs 1400.

Defy should be less laggy and more likely to get more android updates. Dont know about the community support though. Would advise you to go check in the Milestone android development forum and see how active those guys are. The support for that phone basically depends on them now.

Hello

I know, this topic is not so new but i wouldn't create the new one.

Can someone write more about those two phones? In march I gone get a new phone from the operator and I have to choose between Milestone and Defy. I know, Defy's newer and has a little bit better hardware but what about the future development? Here in Poland Defy's not so popular as the Milestone. BTW Defy's a little bit cheaper than Milestone in my operator :D What else? Milestone's getting Froyo in a few "days". Defy's still on eclair, and who knows how about the future...

The most important what I need is:

- smooth UI

- smooth games

- smooth web browsing

- big screen and good resolution (both the same)

- official updates and unofficial development

The Staples paper has the tablet on the front page. The sears has it on pg. 33. Just thought I would let everyone know. Sears is still $379.99 Staples is $399.99.

I have attached pics of the ads. The Staples one is the most amusing from seeing all the responses on the forums.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I was at my local Staples yesterday for other reasons, and asked them on the status of the tablet (ie. did they have any clearance items, yet?). They actually told me Flash is working as of last week, and are advertising it as such. :confused:

I told them that they might want to called customer service because Flash isn't available (officially), yet. Also interesting that their AD shows this, as well. Do they know something that we don't?

Wouldn't the BB Torch's charging dock suit?

Hi all,

Within weeks I'll receive my first Android phone, after 5 years using WM. Really hope to get adapted to this new platform. It's that I'm that lucky guy who has happened to win Clove's Motorola Defy giveaway competition :D.

Anyway, this is purely theoretical, but I have noticed that the Blackberry Torch 9800, closed, is slightly bigger than the Defy, in all 3 dimensions. Besides, its charging dock + home charger (you'll be able to find some of them on eBay, like e.g. this one) takes the Torch in landscape mode, and seems to have its male micro-USB port more to the right side, related to its center, which could match the Defy's. Don't know whether it bears a magnet or not, though. Or, if it is be placed in the same location as required by the Defy sensor. Despite all 'ifs', I wonder if the Defy would fit in.

Anyone here would be brave enough to try one of those and see if it fits?

Just my 2 cents...

Regards,

Carlos
[Defy Accessories] scrannel:
Do you have a BB Torch to compare? The USB adpater would have to be in the same orientation as the Defy's, which is "upside down" (narrow edge up). You'd have to have room to move the USB cover aside on the Defy too.
[Defy Accessories] casouzaj:
Unfortunately, not. It was pure speculation. Maybe someone here can make a simple test...
[Defy Accessories] Sorensiim:
According to Mobilefun.co.uk, this thing should fit the defy as well...

Anyone feel like taking one for the team and putting their claims to the test? Looks like a nice dock but I'm afraid that A) it won't fit snugly and B) the usb cover will get in the way.
[Defy Accessories] Step666:
It might be worth asking them if they can provide photos to back up their claim.

It's in their best interest after all as I'm sure a few of us are interested in finding a decent desktop dock for their Defy.
[Defy Accessories] casouzaj:
What? Milestone (Droid)'s dock?

I don't see how the Milestone's dock would suit the Defy, since the former's micro-USB port is to the left, whilst the latter's is to the right.

I might me heavily wrong though (as usual)...

Regards,

Carlos
