[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
I'm going off of the battery screen.

Most recent charge is over 14 hours with 31% remaining on the battery.

That's with moderate to heavy use. a couple dozen texts, a lot of chrome to phone for wallpapers, checking XDA app often, and running tweet deck to update every 30 mins.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
I would be very happy with that battery usage. What did you do to condition your battery?
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
When my fiance purchased it at Radio Shack the other day they left it on in the box so it completely drained. Then I charged it all the way before using it. I've also run it down a couple of times until the phone shut off and then charged it all the way.

Once we have root you will be able to fully drain, then fully charge and wipe your battery stats in recovery.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
So you didn't turn the phone off when you charged it?
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
Nope, even when it dies I turn it back on once it's charged for a few minutes.

If you're using a task manager make sure you uninstall it.

Also, when exiting programs use the back button(arrow) to back all the way out of the program.

If you're doing all of these things I would take it to a Sprint Store and see about having the battery exchanged.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
Thanks for your help Brando. I am planning on taking it to the Sprint Store. It looks like this is isolated to my phone and not indicative of what others are experiencing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
It's my pleasure. It really sucks that this is your first Android experience. I hope they get you taken care of because I know you will really enjoy it.

BCnice has moved to the shift from what i've heard. He's an amazing dev so I'm sure the shift forums will take off
[EVO Shift 4G General] Charlottte:
Well, I currently STILL have a Moment (its decked out and rooted though, so its not terrible..) And my contract isn't over until February.

I have wanted the EVO since it came out, and then I desperately wanted an Epic b/c it was (and is, imo) much closer to an Evo with a keyboard. Then out came the Shift.

After going to Best Buy and Sprint and playing with the phones, I still want an Evo. I know a little about phones, not much about processors though. For a semi-layman, I would say I hate the Shift.

Its design is overall ugly (I dont like the sorta boxy look the hard keyboard has; kinda like intercept). The shape of the screen is ugly too. Next, they took out front facing camera. I'm a teen girl; which means I'm defintely a pictures-in-the bathroom-mirror-wh*re.

As for internal, I really don't have the time to compare phones, so the speed to me will always be fine unless its unbearably laggy. Even though by the time I get the Evo it will be "old", thanks to the still-alive community here and on sdx and the awesome features of the Evo, I will still carry it for awhile.

Can someone tell me if there's anything cool about Dual Cores other than faster and better battery life?
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
correct me if i'm wrong here, but last i checked you're not suppose to run these batteries completely dead, i have been under the impression that they like to be charged vs. drained. i rarely let any of my phones drop below 30% unless i'm in a situation where i can't get to a charger.

as for my Shift, yesterday i went 14 hours and was still at 35%, today not so much. 7 hours and i'm at 45%, but i have been using it a lot more for streaming music over bluetooth and did a lot more texting than i did yesterday, also played some NESoid. i was also doing some side by side stuff with my Evo testing out tethering and comparing signal strength in different areas. and spent a few minutes this morning doing reboots, playing with Z4root and getting wireless tether set up. def. a lot more use today than yesterday and a lot more than a normal day for me.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
I could totally be wrong. I usually do pop it on the charger, but I've run it down a few times to condition the battery.

I will say this about the battery with my Hero. I was constantly making sure it was charged and my battery life was horrendous. My finance constantly lets hers die and it holds its charge much longer.

She does no web browsing and barely any texting, but she keeps her email syncing and plays a lot of games.

and Charlotte

I'm sure you could find a nice Pink Razr on Craigslist :p

I haven't had this for very long but so far I'm loving it. I've been lucky enough to carry an EVO for a while for work and my wife let's me play with her Epic from time to time.

My wife is quick to point out her bigger screen and faster processor. The screen size is obvious but side by side the Epic

does not seem any faster.

Download Quadrant Standard on your phone and on her Epic

1. Download

2. Run benchmark

3. Laugh as she cries seeing that her Epic is barely half the phone your Shift is!
[EVO Shift 4G General] xlGmanlx:
Lithium Ion battery should never be drained to shutoff nor pushed past that. There are reasons for that and it could damage your battery or render it useless if you push it too far and safety measures kick in
[EVO Shift 4G General] tps70:
As you can all see from my signature, I'm a proud Hero user. That being said, I'm due for an upgrade next month and I'm completely stumped! :confused: Although I'm a Premier customer, like many of you, with the ability to upgrade yearly, I still agonize over any new phone purchase.

I really like all three of Sprint's 4G phones. I think they all have their strengths & weaknesses.

The Evo has its massive 4.3" screen, the 8MP main & FFC, and of course, the kickstand! :p

The Epic has the faster GPU, a QWERTY slider, and the AMOLED screen (w/"Gorilla Glass" I was told at the Sprint store?? - anyone else heard that?).

Then, there's the new Shift. Slower processor, yet quicker in performance tests (thanks to the 2nd generation Snapdragon CPU), smaller (albeit bigger than my Hero's) display, and also has a QWERTY slider.

My wife has an Evo and loves it. I've played with it a bit and agree that it's a great phone. I just don't think it'll fit in my pocket at work. So, the Epic probably wouldn't either. The Shift is just a bit bigger than my Hero, so it'd most likely be a great pocket phone.

In all honesty, I haven't tried any of them in my pocket for fit, so I don't want to make my decision based soley on that. I spent some time at the Sprint store playing with all three yesterday, but that just made it harder. I had actually ruled out the Epic because I'm generally not a Samsung fan... until I actually put my hands on it! So, here I am, completely stumped on which one to choose!

Damn you, Sprint! So many choices! :D

P.S.

Don't hate! Just putting in my $0.02 worth! :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] Dhyneland:
Glad to see there is already a section for the Shift! I just bought one for my wife. She has the samsung transform right now. What a piece of garbage that phone is! I look forward to rooting and flashing some roms for her...
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
well, if the posts I've read are true, the Shift should be able to be overclocked to well over 1.5GHz. If it really beats out the Evo now, just imagine what it'll do with some customization.

I've played with the Evo quite a bit, and it just doesn't feel comfortable in my hands. After trying it out yesterday, the Epic just feels "cheap" to me. The Shift felt very good in my hands, and the keyboard felt like it was going to be very usable. Guess I'll find out for sure in a couple of days when it arrives
[EVO Shift 4G General] tps70:
I've read the same thing about OC'ing the Shift. It could end up being a beast of a "little brother" to the original Evo. :D

I agree about the feel of the Evo in my hands, also. Must be due to the "squarish" shape. When I checked out the Epic yesterday, I didn't even open the slider... WTF was I thinking?!? I think the amazing display distracted me to the point that I lost my objectivity & forgot to check it out completely. :rolleyes:

I think I'm at the point where I probably won't go with the Evo - simply because I don't like the confusion of having two of the same phones in the house. I think it's going to be a fight between the beautiful display/graphics power of the Epic & the keyboard/CPU/future OC'ing possibilies of the Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
first off, it's a newer 32nm (i think) architecture with a lower clock speed, like comparing a 1GHz Pentium I to a 800MHz Pentium II. my shift destroys the evo that i had, even with a custom rom on it.

second of all, qualcomm made the snapdragon. TI made the processor in the shift, and therefore, it is not a snapdragon, of any generation.

that said, this phone is quite something. with a custom rom and kernel this phone is gonna tear **** up.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
err umm

Processor:

Qualcomm MSM7630

Processor speed:

800 MHz

and the core is codenamed "Scorpion" i believe and it has the Adreno 205 GPU onboard and it's part of the SnapDragon family
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
i must have read TI elsewhere. i was under the impression that the G2 had a TI processor and that this one had the same one.

but i stand corrected, thanks
[EVO Shift 4G General] tps70:
edgemaster,

Exactly. Here's PDADB.net's datasheet on the Evo Shift. (Added the link for yokken's reading pleasure.) :D

I read a comparison of the original Evo & the Epic earlier today which went on to talk about the Adreno 205 GPU in the Shift. Now, I'm no expert when it comes to GPUs, but according to what I read, the GPU in the Epic is much more powerful than the original Evo's (about 4X faster). The new Adreno 205 supposedly falls just slightly short of the Epic's GPU performance - a huge improvement from the Evo's. I wish I could remember where I read it. Anyway, I'm just trying to illustrate the fact that this "little" phone that many people consider a "downgrade" just plain isn't. It's a very capable little performer... which is precisely why I can't decide! :p
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
i thought the htc knight was a different phone, no matter.. and that datasheet says 3.7" when everywhere else says 3.6".. wut
[EVO Shift 4G General] tps70:
Yeah, I know... Obviously that needs updating. Everything I've read since it's release says it's a 3.6" screen. I believe it was originally rumored to come with a 3.7".
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
i thought so too, so no big deal.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I just got mine today and its alright. I'm making less mistakes typing on the keyboard than the epic. If your eyesight isn't the greatest, the fonts are kinda small. I don't think its the phone but the network is laggy and slow today. I haven't found a motorola multitouch kb yet that works without fc. A online radio isn't working. Best buy near me doesn't have any cases and the ones I briefly saw at sprint looked low quality. The speaker is in a bad place on the back. If I'm playing music, when I set the phone on its back, the speakers loudness is severely muted. These are me observations so far.

Am I glad I left the epic for this? I'm not at 100% yet but I think so. I like that the keyboard has lights that come on if you hit caps shift or function. Nice feature. Phone is heavier than I expected it to be. I haven't actually made any phone calls yet. This is my second htc and I'm noticing that the radios receiver is a little on the deaf side when compared to a samsung radio. Oh well. Sammy pissed me off so I'm going to stick with htc for awhile and see how things pan out.

[EVO Shift 4G General] veidt_industries:
I am having the same issue. Just awful battery life. I tried returning it to Radioshack, but they won't listen and insisted that I install a task killer and it would fix my battery life.

That's stupid, so I'm going to call the regional manager about it, but in the mean time, I'm trying to bump charge it by putting it on the charger while turned off until the orange light turns to green. Then you unplug it, restart it, turn it off, and start over. The amount of time it takes to get to green should slowly decrease.

Mine has been doing this for 14+ hours now; it takes about 3-4 hours each cycle.

Can anybody advise me on what to do next?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psouth:
This might be a noob question but that's ok, I'm a smartphone noob. :)

I'm running CM6.1.1 and have the default android browser. Is there any where/way to set it up so that when you move from the open browser back to the "desktop" area that the browser actually closes?

It is driving me nuts to be on a site, hit the home key on the phone and then when I come back to the browser later I'm still on that last site I visited instead of the defined homepage for the browser. I can open the "window" key from the browser menu, close the current page & let it open a new widnow at my homepage and then go back to desktop, and I can of course force close under app management. Both options are a pita. I have to believe there is something I can set which will fully close the browser when I move away from it.

Help!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
What you're doing is what I've been doing for ages (Menu > Windows > close all current windows then back out to home). I thought I remembered reading that with CM, you should be able to long hold the Back button to properly close an app, but I've never seen that done.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psouth:
Yeah, I tried building a shortcut to the app manager but you can't build it far enough down. I don't want to just pull up the manager & then go through the selecting the browser & then force close.

I keep seeing something about "Task Killer". Maybe I can install that and build a shortcut that will just always kill the browser and make a habit of using that when I return to the desktop...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelsec:
If you go to Settings>Applications>Development>Stop app via long press, you can kill the app by holding the back button. works great for me, hope it helps you :).

I'll be damned. I never saw this option and thought it was automatically built into CM6. To the OP: I just tested this and it does exactly what both oif us have been dieing for :)

Hi

I would be very grateful for some help.

I have just received an unlocked US G2 (not a UK desire Z).

I live in the UK and was previously using an iphone 4 on contract with O2. When I insert my sim card and turn on the phone I get no network service.

I was under the impression that the american version should work in the UK. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Are you sure it's unlocked? I use an American G2 on T-Mobile UK and it works perfectly. But I unlocked it myself after importing it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
Check to see if its been set to 3G / HSDPA only... O2's 3G network isn't the most expansive..

Thank you for the quick replies

The phone was advertised as unlocked however this may not be the case. On the G1 when I inserted the same sim into a locked unit a message appeared on screen informing me that the phone was locked. This did not happen with the G2 - it simply has no network service.

Is there a simple way for me to check the locked/ unlocked status?

Weren't there issues with unlock codes? Me thinks so.... I'll have a search.

What's really funny is that this one shows up through Kies Mini. It now says "Latest Firmware: 2010-12-29" and that I'm up-to-date. I'm on the Oct. JI6.

It would be hilarious if it was a mislabeling of JL6 that was officially released, but due to the naming issue wasn't distributed.
