Hi guys. I figured I would quit lurking and start posting here once in awhile :)

Full disclosure I am also a seller on ebay and I'm not hard to find by my user name but you are somewhat correct the 3000 mah and the 3500 mah are the exact same battery. I contacted my manufacturer about the 3500's the start popping up on ebay a few months ago and they told me they were the same with a different sticker.

The sad thing is those of us that are trying to be honest will eventually have to switch and start selling the fake sticker batteries too because 90% of the buyers this we have an inferior product :(

I'm glad you were able to get your Yoobao order straightened out. He appears to be another great seller just not sure how he keeps his account open charging $7 shipping on a 3oz battery but it all averages out. Yoobao is an EXCELLENT company and product!

I'll try to start posting more my "real job" is working in Product Management for Sony Ericsson here in Atlanta.

Nice to see your real, I just ordered a battery from you last night. Got an email from ya today. Im looking forward to receiving this from you. I will be sure to tell everyone :) ......But on a side note i ordered a cheaper one from mzmshop or whatever it is 3.5 weeks ago and still nothing so he refunded my money which was cool of him but ill spend the extra 5 bucks and get the battery in a few days. I ended up going with yours b/c i saw the other 3500 mah ones and figured they were the same or the 3500 was less. You seemed legit in saying 3000mah and i figured if i get a cheaper 3500mah and its only 2400 then im better off getting your 3000mah.
[Epic 4G Accessories] northmont30096:
:) I'm real.

Things from China have been stupid slow 20-35 days even after Christmas and now is the Chinese New Year so really nothing coming out of Hong Kong until Feb 12th
[Epic 4G Accessories] kgbcapthowdy:
now one thing i noticed in your listing was that yours has a built in chip so it doesnt overcharge and undercharge and whatnot. Do those ones from china that dont advertise it also have the chips in them?
[Epic 4G Accessories] northmont30096:
Most of them do. There are 3 primary manufacturers but the thing is all 3 will run custom lots. So if you have an exporter looking to save a penny they will put out an RFP for ones without it etc. This is how these 3500's likely came about...some large exporter put out an RFP for a 3000mah battery with a custom 3500 sticker and BAM the market is flooded with them.

All of the ones I buy do have them. Depending on the phone it is sometimes better that they don't have the integrated chip. Some companies (Motorola specifically) are starting put push checks in the 2.2.1 Android to check the safety chipset to see if its a Motorola part and if not the phone OS won't recognize the battery. They are doing this to combat counterfeit batteries but unfortunately if affects aftermarket/generic as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pe4ceman:
Greetings everyone,

I want to install an Android ROM to NAND and make sure that mine HD2 is capable of doing it.

ROM version: 1.66.415.3 (76641) WWE

Radio version: 2.06.51.07

Protocol version: 15.30.50.07U

I'm not sure about what version SPL has or if it is SSPL, so can I go forward and install HSPL 2.08 without problems?

Or should I go with HSPL version 3?

Another quick question is what is the difference between RAM and NAND installations, for example:

[RAM] darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 [kernel: Hastarin custom]

vs -=MDJ Gingerbread=- v. 1.4 [GRH78][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S9.3 OC]

P.S. Main concern and purpose of creating this thread was the statement found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870518

saying that devices with *.*.51.* radio version aren't able to run Android.

Text was erased after with no comments attached.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Download and run HSPL2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433). You can select 2.08.HSPL. If you need to go back to existing SPL for warranty reasons, you can use the same HSPL2. Go into BootLoader mode to determine what SPL you already have (more than likely to be 1.66.0000).

Download and run a .50 Radio (ie 2.15.50.14) (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787)

The RAM versions are stored on the SD Card, so basically you can boot either into WinMo6.5 or Android. The NAND versions is basically replacing the WinMo6.5 O/S with an Android O/S. The advantageous of NAND is better battery life and speed, whereas RAM means you get the choice of O/S's.

Hello there XDA,

I have been using a Galaxy S for a while now..I am pretty much satisfied but I hate the fact that am running custom roms, and everytime there is a new update, I have to go through the whole backup and restoring process..Anyways, thats not huge issue..

So am planning to switch to DHD..Should I or should i not.. ??

Things that are making me not switch is what Am hearing from everyone..They all say that battery life is really gay..is it really that bad compared to SGS.. ? because SGS aint got good battery life it self..

Other thing thats kinda bothering me is the LCD screen...I am currently on super amoled, but in order to save battery life and not ache my eyes, My phones brightness is always low...So my question..is LCD that bad compared to super amoled.. ? or its just oki.. ??

Please give me some serious advice if possible..Things like sound quality of the speaker and sh!t dont really matter to me..I want good hardware, and less issues and bothering :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
This is all opinion so please nobody flame me for having a different opinion to you. :)

Well there's pros and cons really. You would be moving sideways, making some gains, and paying a price in other regards. Having said that I could have swapped my DHD for a Galaxy S plus a few $$$ thanks to a recent offer but I would rather have the DHD.

Htc seem to be better with software updates than the ever tardy Samsung, but they don't seem to like us to have root so you gotta be careful about weather or not you accept those updates or wait for the xda devs.

While the battery life is worse, from what I've been able to learn about the SGS it isn't that much worse.

The screen is no better or worse than AMOLED, just different. Depending on what you are looking at it may look better on one screen or the other. My eyes seem to think text is a little sharper and easier to read on the DHD, while pictures look a little more vibrant on the SGS.

Our camera is better and we have a flash.

The DHD feels much more solid in the hand thanks to the aluminium body. The SGS feels kinda like its going to blow away in the wind after having the DHD for a while.

There. Thats my take on it. Hope it helped.

I switch from galaxy s to dhd... faster n consume lesser batt... just have to get use to the screen quality difference...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] picard2008:
Exactly how I feel. I owned a Galaxy S for 5 months and switched to DHD. It is a breath of fresh air. Browsing is smooth and the 4.3" screen is really great but still behind iPhone on smoothness under pinching action. I reserve my comment until now so that I have about 1 month of DHD experience. This is to make sure I can be sure I can compare with similar usage habbit.

The lagfix gave me a false sense of speed but too often the TouchWiz would still lag.

In addition, I have also experienced better battery usage than my Galaxy S but that may not be a good comparison as I am running with a rooted Galaxy S.

Overall, I must concede that I miss the vivid color and blackness of SAMOLED display. Again, you get use to it fairly quickly.

Good luck.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssimmmo:
Ive got both phone,s. The battery for me is better on the SGS than the DHD. Compare both of them is really hard. As both got there pro and cons. Ive always been a HTC owner and i have got a love hate relationship with the UI for me thats the big issue as i love the ui but on the other had i dont. Just wish that take away the main screen graphic like the menu bar and replace it with like the gingerbread luncher but keep the htc widgets. So think overall for smothnes and all arounder still the DHD

HTC HERO - HTC HD2 - NOW HTC DESIRE HD & SAMSUNG GALAXY S Bring on the modding.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicacapo:
i had both phone for a while and today i sold the galaxy,the battery life is better in the DHD,because i always had the SGS with custom firmwares which included other kernels like voodo or supercurios...the RFS file sistem is really a crap,the firmwares of SGS weren't decent until JPU 2.2.1 froyo,instead the DHD just like comes out of the box its quick and smooth,the SCLD for me its only a micro-step behind the Superamoled,and thats because of the black color,you'll never see a black like that ,because the pixel its complety off,in the SLCD you watch it like a watermark of real black,but out of this its really bright and it didn't have nothing in common with normal desire/nexus SLCD...

and a thing that no ones mention in the post ,its the impressive **** that is the SGS GPS,with an accurancy comparable with a nuclear weapon killing cockroach...i was even thinking on taking legal actions to samsung because of the petrol wasted each time i take the car..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaledrm:
Can anyone tell me more about the GPS in DHD.. ?? SGS Gps is almost gay.. I never use it..i prefer using my N97 gps over the SGS one :)

How about the Roms guys.. ?? Do i have go thru the process of trying custom roms and see which one is best ? or HTC has done a good job, which means i wouldnt be bothered to try out custom ROMS :)

Well, if the SLCD ain that bad, and if am getting LED flash lights, so i guess the only thing I'll be losing if i switch is internal memory..1.5gb in DHD :((( have to buy memory cards :////
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurei:
About the battery life of DHD - I'm actually quite statisfied now.

At first, when I hadn't tweaked anything yet, it was terrible.

It would die within 6 hours with my usage rate. But now I'm on OTA 1.72 (instead of the old 1.32) WITH root preserved, and I think 1.72 is a huge improvement concerning the batterylife.

With 1.72 combined, I got running: SetCPU, Autokiller, Advanced Task Killer, JuiceDefender+UltimateJuice and my batterylife is only down to 56% right now (thats 14 hours and counting! Unplugged it at 8.30, its 22.30 here now).

Using these apps correctly really makes a huge difference!

And as far as I know (I'm not that much into ROMS atm) HTC did a good job. Sense is beautiful, I love it. Only reason to take another rom would be boosting/braking the performance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberTod:
I am very happy with the interface and the speed of the stock rom of my DHD, so I dont intend to try another one. The gps also works fine. I have bought SGS for my girlfriend, but the interface is very crappy compared to the DHD, also feels like a toy in my hand, didn't try her gps. The colors are a little better on the SGS.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
The gps is fine. Works as expected, the included locations software is also very good although there is am additional fee to pay for voice guided navigation.

You don't really need custom roms, unless you want to ditch sense and get an aosp experience. Myself I use the rcmixhd rom because I want a stable rom which is close to a stock rom with only the addition of the ability to theme my phone.

I've had (minor) problems with some of the other sense based roms, although the new leedroid 1.3a is also very good.

But yeah the short answer is that dhd is a very nice software experience even without any kind of hacks.

Thanks everyone for the replies..

I kinda of got my answer..but I would still appreciate further comparison :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlightlyJack:
Sorry if my opinion has been posted by other people before me, but this is my opinion.

My mum has an SGS, and wow, it is a brilliant phone. I have recently got the DHD and have been using it for a couple of days now.

From a hardware perspective, the DHD has roughly 250mAh less battery capacity than the SGS. However, on my FIRST charge yesterday, it lasted me from 7am - 4.30pm battery. I was being careful, e.g turning off wifi and things when I don't need it, but you have to do that with all smartphones. I used the music player at a loud volume for most of that time, and used the flash, lots of games, mobile data etc. Screen was on lowest setting according to my Power Dock Widget from HTC, and that was easily bright enough! (By the way, the battery would of most likely lasted longer, but at about 3pm, I tried to drain the battery quickly so I could charge from a flat battery, before I started, the battery was half full.

The super amoled screen is amazing, however the DHD is still a great screen. Maybe not as good as the SGS, but it isn't bad, it is very good, maybe it just might seem worse compared to the amazing screen of the SGS.

However, it looks great on a low setting, and I wouldn't be worried about this, I was worried by it and I got a pleasant surprise!

The camera is good, perhaps a bit grainy but it does have flash unlike the SGS. There are also quite advanced options, and the graininess can be ruduced.

The camcorder compared to the SGS isnt that good, but it still records good 720p video, but you can find there is a bit of motion blur when moving the camera too much. Once again, it does have the flash though.

The HTC Sense interface is amazing, so intuitive, really makes the Android software something else! The gaming on it is great, and so far I have had no major problems or faults with it, and if you ever do, at least you know where you can go for help :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmohik:
ok you need to look at it this way, i have been using smartphones for ages, starting with Ericsson r380, moving to IPAQ then Imate PDA2K, HTC Cruse, HTC diamond, HTC HD. the only reason i didn't get HD2 is the battery life as I heard it is not good and windows 6.5 is kind a crappy OS, so I waited and I say DHD. It is android phone and I have no experience in android but here is what I like:

1-	It has a good big screen so you can read easily. <emails, word, excel, internet and whatever you need like PDF and others>.

2-	Good storage 1.5 G and Good RAM 768.

3-	GPS on it is great.

4-	HTCsence.com, controlling your phone over website <which it is not working for me ): ….>

5-	Phone performance, I like its speed and response.

6-	The look and feel of the phone. <it is big, expensive and look nice>.

7-	Nice aluminum body. Still hate having to doors on the back. <still not a big deal to me>.

8-	Great CAM. No front one ):

9-	Good application installed. Specially the HTS sense

As I said the big screen was the most I like in the phone. Hope those give you a help.

P.S. …. If you sold your SGS and got DHD plz don’t blame me if you didn’t like

[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
Anyone have this problem? It happens ever time
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
Hmm.... seems like your phone might be in WCDMA mode only... It should be in WCDMA-Preferred since you plan on using 3G and 2G

Go to your phone dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*

and Diagnostics Menu should come up..... Go to PHONE INFORMATION.... Scroll down and Set Network Type to: WCDMA Preferred

see if that helps...
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
Thanks for the reply i am on tmobile and it is defaulted to GSM. Will changing it be any different than GSM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] g_grey:
my phone does that as well right now at home even though i have it on WCDMA preferred, t-mo has been having issues with their 4G towers and their DNS servers lately that has been affecting many people with newer phones/SIM cards and in 4G areas, t-mo has not released an ETA on a fix but i have been dealing with it for a month now at my home and i am about ready to switch carriers
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
Nope, it'll still be the same. WCDMA-Preferred means that then phone will Prioritize 3G/4G signal over an EDGE signal. So If you are in a decent 4G/3G coverage the phone will set itself into 3G/4G mode... and when you move into an area where you have a weaker 3G/4G signal...t han the phone will be in EDGE mode.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMan42:
Keep in mind that if you're referring about using WCDMA Preferred in a 3G/4G coverage area - but only 2G works - then you have a network issue. This isn't so much a device issue as it is a MSISDN issue on the network or a potential tower issue.

If you get no signal on 3G/4G and signal is there on 2G - check your coverage first - then if coverage shows you should have 3G/4G, call TMO and let them know, they'll need to do a service request or trouble ticket based on the location and breadth of the issue you're having.

[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
From what I understand Roam Control will only force you into 1x, not so much 3G... so if you're looking to replace crappy data speeds you're out of luck there. I've been too wimpy to try the PRL hack though.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
roam control is great but limited, it can force your connection to roaming but it won't connect to verizon the same way as the prl hack, I've tested it. the prl hack is far faster speeds, with roam control I would get 15~100kpbs, with prl hack I would get 600~2000kbps in the same spot
[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
How much data did you push? What really makes me paranoid about the PRL hack is the amount of data I may push if I switch over. I push 5-6 GB a month, and it seems like that would set off red flags all over Sprint HQ, haha.
[EVO 4G General] skylar.sutton:
I read up on this just recently and decided to go with Roam Control instead of the PRL hack. The PRL hack is tedious to activate/deactivate, and I only need it while I'm at work (signal is fine everywhere else).

For me, the limited speeds of Roam Control was worth the convenience of one click activate/deactivate.
[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
Yea if voice is your concern, roam control would work fine. I know a lot of people though who would love getting access to Verizon's 3G network.
