Download the rom in your computer, then copy to the SD card? Try an alternate browser to download to the phone directly?

As for whether its the SD card, that is possible, but I would exhaust all options before resorting to formatting the card. If it does get that far, be sure to back up the needed files (nandroid backups especially) to the PC before you do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keycool:
Unfortunately, I don't have backups.

I will try to download directly.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
Well a nandroid backup is an essential, bro. They tend to save you more often than not in problems like this. They always save me (when I remember to make them), though they aren't infallible either. Let me know how the new download works

I was wondering if ASOP roms have a link like in sense, I use Facebook, but i don't have people named the same on my phone as on Facebook. So i'd like to like them, Is there anyway i can do that on an ASOP ROM like CM?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Gahh Its Lee:
This is now what's keeping me from using aosp roms I'd love a way to do this.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWhiteBandito:
If you find the contact you want, go to menu > edit > join and it should find the contact that you can join with in facebook. it's a workaround, but it's but as good as htc sense facebook link
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Gahh Its Lee:
I don't have the join option.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] photonmedia:
Menu -> Edit Contact. Then Menu->Join...

What ROM are you on?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Franzie3:
There is an App called SyncMyPix which worked for me. I have the Join options but it was not working that great.

Sync My pix works very well if your contacts names match those that are within your facebook account. You can manually do it but depending on the amount of contacts you have and number of facebook friends to go through it could be a pain.

I got it all taken care of this morning, works great. I use everyones first and last name for a contact and the app synced up all but like 10 people who have either a different facebook name or do not have it at all. Free app to by the way

EDIT: I'm running CM7 as my rom
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dpwhitty11:
Or just download Facebook for Android?

lol
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] N-Forced:
Using that would not help the op as he is trying to link his contacts to his face book friends list. OP what asop rom are you using?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] toosurreal01:
How would this not help?

When you dl the facebook app it asks if you want to sync your contacts on your phone...

You can change it under Menu > Settings > Other Settings (at the bottom) once you load up facebook and hit back to get to the screen where you choose messages, profile, news feed, etc...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] N-Forced:
I have no option to do that on my facebook app

The by far best solution is to use the free app syncmypix from the market. Takes care of all the syncing for you, even shows the ones the didn't sync so you can match them up. Works on AOKP ICS on my INC.

Hey Guys

I'm having some quite bad battery life with my DHD and I was looking into getting a bigger capacity battery.

I found this:

http://www.htcrepairparts.com/standard-battery-for-htc-desire-hd1600mah-p-3411.html?language=en

It is 1600 mAh and on paper looks promising and before I just wanted to check has anyone ordered this and had successful results with this battery and the seller or is it just a fail?

Thanks

Patrick
[Desire HD Accessories] Mr-Maniac:
Found one while browsing around for a replacement for my DHD too.

Can't post links yet, but if you go to a site called evertop ending in a .co.uk and search for 35H00141-02M, you will find one with 1550mAH rating.

There are a few of these replacement ones claiming higher capacity, but one has to be cautious about these things mate.

Would love to find a genuinely reliable replacement one, although I must admit, if you haven't tried it already, there is a thread around which has a tip to charge the DHD in a certain way - seems to have worked for me upto certain extent - have managed to go over 24h without the need to charge with moderate use.
[Desire HD Accessories] Sybregunne:
Hi I am a new member here. I also read somewhere about a mugen battery. haven't been able to order yet. I recently bought an external 5000mAh battery (USB charging) I can charge my DHD approximately 4 times before recharging the external battery.

just wanted to share an alternative to extended batteries that need to replace your battery cover.
[Desire HD Accessories] Juusuhako:
a 5000mAh? holy ****...
[Desire HD Accessories] DN41:
EXTERNAL

the ones, which you connect to your usb port and charge the phone's battery :P

i wouldn't buy another internal one than the original.

battery's can be really dangerous..no chance to buy one from china or so..just my 2 cents.

DN41
[Desire HD Accessories] tids2k:
These are the same as ones you can get from ebay.
[Desire HD Accessories] Sybregunne:
lol. Nowadays everything seems to be made in china.

though seriously i share ur sentiments.
[Desire HD Accessories] WingZer0n:
My Primo powerpack just arrived last night...and I say I am impressed....already charged 2 Iphones and charge my DHD on it and its still got more juice in it.

Primo Power Pack
[Desire HD Accessories] 九千.:
Take extra precaution to this company. They will send you counterfeit goods no matter what if they think you are incapable of fighting back (say, living too far away).

My friend has been scammed once, and he went through all the complain channel in UK online in vain. It seems that UK's Government has no intention to stop online scammers that are active in their own countries. That was really an awkward discovery.

So be very careful.
[Desire HD Accessories] 314:
I still don't get why people consider battery life as extremely important for phones that have easy to remove batteries...

They arent too expensive, ($3 on ebay for a 1600 mah fake, $15 for a genuine 1230) and its not exactly that hard to keep a few on you.

External batteries are also another option, but they usually use more space than internal ones (and they also require a cable).
[Desire HD Accessories] panyan:
but external can hold ALOT more AND plug into various devices ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
I would definitely recommend an external powerpack. I have a New Trent 5500mah pack, and it indeed gives 2-3 recharges, in a form factor slightly smaller than the DHD.

The only battery which is not fake, is the Mugen, coming in at 1500mah. It's not a huge improvement, but many say it's the difference between running out of juice mid-evening, and making it through to the night and the power cord.

Search for Mugen in this forum, all the details are there.

Or look for NewTrent on Amazon for example. The price varies (and they have bigger models too).

Avoid ALL OTHER "high capacity" batteries ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] 九千.:
You are right, batteries aren't expensive nowaday.

I recommend using genuine where possible. Fake/replacement/counterfeit batteries return bogus charging level to the devices, and that would result in pre-mature shutdown which would damage mobile devices.
[Desire HD Accessories] Isabella Smith:
evertop co uk is a well-known scammer. You should have looked up uk's ripoff list (forgot the full name of this website, you could search) and you can find it listed top 10 or something.

UK is hoarded with scammers like that, because their government just don't give a dime of what their people do on the internet.

Gold battery for DHD

Hi Guys,

I cannot put links yet, but search for "2430MAH HIGH CAPACITY BAS470 GOLD BATTERY FOR DESIRE HD" on Ebay. Got it yesterday, so far so good, looks like it lasts more than the stock one...

It says "Made in Japan" but im not sure about this :)

Did anyone else tried this one?
[Desire HD Accessories] darren486:
2430MAH? i don't think it is even possible to fit that much cell into the DHD battery size, i'm currently on the mugen 1500MAH battery, it is slightly better then the stock battery, would recommend that :)
[Desire HD Accessories] suxelexus:
- Ive been a little worried about this as I have a cheap one from China which came in an accessory pack, which by the way sucked. everything has just fallen apart. but the battery, which I rely on heavily as a backup, seems to have a better life than the original odly enough, dunno what's up with that. afraid it may leak or output higher charges and fry my phone?
[Desire HD Accessories] captainstu72:
Just to add another option onto this, I have recently purchased 2x 1600mah Anker Batteries from amazon, and they seem to be doing very well for me. Gone from dying after about 18 hours to lasting all day with fairly heavy usage.

They seem to be a decent brand, have seen a lot of people have been buying them for the SGS2 for example. Just thought it may be worth a consideration if you are looking for spare batteries for a better price then mugen, that actually seem decent.

Each battery lasts longer then the stock battery, and a 1900mah battery i got from ebay (fail).

Hope it helps :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Walderstorn:
Well i just bought a 2nd HTC battery, it was like 15 euros or something online and one of those micro usb power packs (mine is only 1900mh but was cheap), no more power problems.
[Desire HD Accessories] Goodm7sn:
anyone tried those? need feedback

Anyone tried those out? Been reading lots of various & different opinions on Android forums, but they r all dated back to 4 months ago,I just need a feedback of someone who used them for at least 2 months &r they worth it,cos the 1800ma is tempting.

http://www.obostore.com/1800mah-andida-battery-for-htc-desire-hd-p-643.html

Thank you
[Desire HD Accessories] 九千.:
Cheap batteries from China are not necessary with low quality. They might be the OEM products of some major brands.

For example, Nokia asked an OEM manufacturer to produce 10K batteries, but instead that manufacturer privately made 100K batteries to achieve production of scale. Now they could send 10K batteries with Nokia brand back to Nokia and on the other hand sell 90K OEM batteries to the market with good quality.

Having said that, it might be the false battery level reading that makes you think OEM battery is better than original. Also, the original might have been reaching its end of life thus is worse in comparison.

However, I'm just talking about OEM batteries. Things are very different with fake/counterfeit batteries.

OEM batteries would have been passed quality checking, while fake/counterfeit batteries are manufactured by those who has no moral standard, or the well-being of custmoers. They don't even care if these batteries would kill people and their phones, least care about whether it would have been made with quality.

That is why I despise those who are selling fake/counterfeit, like that well-known scammer Evertop co uk I mentioned before, because not only these batteries are of low quality, they might be harmful to use; and you don't expect them to be a bunch of good people who would be honest to or treat you well in trading. :cool:
[Desire HD Accessories] eyeohno:
Problem is in determining between OEM and cheap knock off crap batteries, i've had imported HK/CN batteries that ceased to function after a month and i've had ones that were obviously OEM. It's rather hit and miss unfortunately.
[Desire HD Accessories] hawkwind:
I have just received these batteries, how are you getting on with them?

I have put one in my phone and battery monitor widget is reporting it as 1230mAh.
[Desire HD Accessories] Napkins:
The Mugen battery seems to be the only legit one, though it's pretty expensive and imo not worth the price. I've never tried an external battery, but it's about time I get one as I constantly look at my battery during the days :(
[Desire HD Accessories] evoGage:
How are these batteries performing so far?
[Desire HD Accessories] hawkwind:
Still early days but so far so good, cannot say for certain as to how much more juice i am getting out of it as i am not using the phone as i normally would, been playing too much :D but i still have 33% left where as i think i would have most likely been getting ready to go on charge by now.

The sensation thread seems to give a lot of positive reviews and comments about Anker.
[Desire HD Accessories] evoGage:
Thanks, for the price I think I'm gonna give it a try as its quite positive in the Sensation thread like you mentioned.
[Desire HD Accessories] T3nzin:

14 hours with wifi, BT on, data on, calls, using the camera, a lot of IM, and still going (16%).

Worth the $$$
[Desire HD Accessories] Stevemann:
And what's the max power reading from the Ankers - 1600mAh?

Do they still read the max value when fully charged?
[Desire HD Accessories] hawkwind:
The power readings were still at 1230, i changed them to 1600 with battery monitor, the temperature readings are also incorrect staying between 24 and 25 degrees.
[Desire HD Accessories] evoGage:
Just wondering, does it actually matter if I don't change the power readings? I mean its not gonna only 1230mAh and shut off?
[Desire HD Accessories] futur1sm:
Just picked up an Anker 1600mAh for my Desire HD, it's already doing better than my stock battery on 1st charge so if that is set to improve all the more better. I think my OEM battery was starting to wear, it was only reading about 1100~mAh in Batter Monitor after a few cycles.
[Desire HD Accessories] happy_:-):
Hi I got that too and using it for last 4 days but no happy with it man its just like stock battery I don't recommend it honestly......... Looking too buy one from Hong Kong its 2000 mah...... I'll let u know about that soon......
[Desire HD Accessories] Dr. lele:
Testing the Anker Battery

I got the Anker battery for my DHD 3 days ago.

I charge it every night and atm I think it's about as good as the stock battery (about 3.5 to 4 hours of display-on-time per day until the battery is empty, with GPS, WiFi and 3G on).

Maybe its capacity will improve after some more loading cycles.

But Anker seems to be producing pretty high quality batteries as you can read here: Review of the Anker Sensation Battery

But the battery in that review was slightly bigger than the stock one and even a little bit heavier. While the Anker Battery for the DHD is a tiny bit smaller(it is a little bit loose in the battery slot) and has about the same wheight (I couldn't figure out any difference).

I'll post some more information after some further testing :)

EDIT: 1) After wiping the battery stats I have to say the battery is slightly better than my almost 1 year old stock battery. Look at the results :)

I charged the phone about 10 minutes that day (while driving).
[Desire HD Accessories] futur1sm:
It all seems placebo to me as unfortunately usage varies day to day. On my first charge cycle I found that after I unplugged it from full charge and left it with WiFi on I didn't touch it for 11 1/2 hours and percentage left fell from 100% to 91%.

Since that initial cycle it drops down to below 90% much quicker than that and if I leave it with just WiFi on overnight doing nothing it is usually down to about 83% after 11 1/2 hours now however it seems to last longer at lower percentages for some reason (it will drop down from 100% to 50% faster than it will drop from 50% to <5% I have observed).

Notes: I did wipe battery stats before first cycle and both times I have done this test it was unplugged after a full charge, left with 0 screen time for within minutes of 11 1/2 hours and a reboot of the device to remove Dialer drain issue.

Whilst I do notice generally improved battery life, it is not an amazing improvement - just enough to justify the £7 price tag I would say. Perhaps I should maybe remove my battery stats and try again?
[Desire HD Accessories] Dr. lele:
It is good!

After using it for 10 days I can tell you: it is definitely better than the stock battery!

What I did:

1) Just use it for about a week (i.e. charge until full about 5 times. Do not uncharge it completely! That's not good for Li-Ion batts)

2) Load until currentwidget says 0 mA (meaning the battery is really fully charged - do not trust the green LED ;))

3) Wipe batterystats in CWM.

Look at this :D

And if it is true that the display with 2 and a half hours usage only used 42 % of the battery one could get about 5 hrs of screen-on time with the Anker batt.

With the OEM battery the maximum was about 4 hrs for me, in flight mode watching movies in the train.

So I can definitely recommend this battery and I do not think it is only a placebo effect.
[Desire HD Accessories] futur1sm:
It doesn't look like you use much WiFi or data though, if I turned data etc. off for most of the day I'm sure I would have fairly spectacular results. Whilst I see some improvement over the OEM battery, it is nothing amazing. I either leave WiFi on if I am near an access point or have it turned off and use Green Power (30m off/5m on) due to the excessive drain from having mobile data on all the time.

With Stock, my quadrant score was around 800+ something.

After rooting, disabling Telenav and few other non essential with Autostart then reboot, my score improved to 1041. Any other ways to tweak it to higher score? Voodoo (convert to ext4?)
[Vibrant General] regP:
My advice is to not care about your quadrant score. If your phone doesnt feel fast enough for you then install a lagfix and be done with it.
