[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Migital Warfare:
I should have also added in my last post that bump charging does actually work, but will decrease the life of your battery. The experiment that the author of the linked article concluded that bump charging until the phone actually reads 100% while unplugged increased his battery charge by around 15%. Now, if holding your battery at 100% causes premature corrosion, it only makes sense that holding it at 115% causes corrosion at a greater rate.

If you absolutely must get the most time out of your battery, and are willing to buy a new one later on, go ahead a bump charge the **** out of that battery. The author suggests (and sites battery university as a source) that the best way to go about battery charging is to do several short charges throughout the day, rather than 1 deep charge from 0 to 100%.

Also, the author suggests that you stop obsessing on what the reported charge is telling you, and just use your phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiderep:
Still makes no sense. They could code it to say 100% when its at 95% then so we atleast have the impression that its as full as could be safely. Like I said, over cautious and lazy imho...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Migital Warfare:
Yeah, I suppose it is, but then it wouldn't be accurately reporting the battery level, which I guess is what Android's goal is. Personally, I'd prefer that if 95% is as much as I'm going to get out of a charge, than Android should just lie to me and tell me it's 100%.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
same here, was going to say this as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Migital Warfare:
I wonder if that's because the charge process brings the battery to 100% initially, then stops charging. Since the battery is in an external charger, there's nothing to draw power from it, so when it hits 100% and stops charging, it remains at 100% until there's a draw on the power.

I'm curious as to whether or not the user guide for the external charger mentions anything about not leaving your charged battery sit for a certain length of time. Based on the linked article, it's claimed that keeping the battery at 100% is damaging to it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
that's probably true about there not being anything to draw power when it's in the ext. charger. the funny thing is, I will pop in the fresh battery, and it will boot up the phone, and I can even do a several things, and the battery will still be at 100!

I try to take the battery out of the charger as soon as possible once it hits full charge, but I'm not always able to. I don't think there were any instructions wth the charger.... the whole thing was prety minimal: I paid my 12 bucks, or whatever, and never heard from them at all, until 2 weeks later an envelope arrived from China, containing only a charger and 2 batteries, lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
I have both the Samsung OEM battery charger that they sell in the sprint store, and the cheepo Hong Kong charger that comes with knock off batteries. They both stop charging when the chip in the battery says it's full. Neither one had any documentation. I've seen zero negative effects from leaving any of my 5 oem batteries fully charged for long periods of time. The two knockoff batteries I had both died permenantly after about a month.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
dang, i guess i've had better luck with the cheapos.... been running them daily for over 2 months, and can't tell any difference between them and the Samsung battery that came with the phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
When they worked, they worked great. But one day I charged one up and stuck it in my pocket. When I stuck it in my phone, i got nothin. I took it home and put it back in the charger and the indicator light said it was fully charged but it was completely bone dead. Wouldn't take a charge at all. Same thing happened to the other one a couple weeks later. I have yet to have any problems with the oem batteries.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
really nice article and it actually makes me feel a lot better. i thought it was attributed to certain ROMs somehow as i feel like i picked the phone up at 100 and it stayed there on some but not others. guess that was all placebo, lol. i think hte best part of the article is right at the end:

If you are someone who can top off your phone on a regular basis, do it. Plug it in when you’re at home. Plug it in when you’re at your desk. As explained by Battery University, "Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory."[2]

Does anybody have the "Game Explorer Builder" (from http://gebuilder.fdan.de). I recovered my computer a few days ago and forgot to backup this program. I tried another one (Vista Game Explorer Editor), but it's not so good. I tried it a couple of months ago and it destroyed my reg.
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
if you legally own it, just download it from a torrent.
[Off-topic] Elerador:
That's not the problem

The problem isn't the legal / illegal thing (gebuidler is freeware); the thing is, I can't download the program anymore, because the website is down. And I didn't find another download-link.
[Off-topic] Elerador:
Done

I found the program after searching a little bit.

You can download it here.

[Desire HD General] habnefrage:
Hi guys,

I am not sure if this is the right forum, but at least it is a desire hd.

Their is CM7 nightly #5 installed and I have an issue with outgoing VOIP calls.

Call reception is working quite well.

(Provider is 1und1 germany via pbxes.org, and a asterisk server installed out company)

When doing the call, I can select to use "internet call" and then there appears a red ribon on top of the screen telling me that "some thing is out side of some thing" (Sorry, the message is not very helpful) you can see details on the screenshots.

This happens with every number, no matter which internet provider I use.

To verify that the setting are right, I used SipDroid, and it worked perfectly.

Any hints would be great! Thank you very much
[Desire HD General] clubtech:
I am on CM7 #5 using pbxes.org and VOIP calling works just fine for me over wifi.
[Desire HD General] habnefrage:
Strange...

Any ideas? Did it work from immediately or did you have to test around a little bit? Did you change the "advanced settings"? Or just Domain, Username and Password?

thanks
[Desire HD General] jurasgd:
I managed to configure freeconet.pl, Polish voip operator on sipdroid. Never tried on wifi, but works good on 3g except sometimes especialy witl low signal may drop or take a while to connect. Not dificult to configure too :)
[Desire HD General] jurasgd:
Update. On WiFi it works brilliant, like a wired phone :) domain, username, password. I also played with some codes and stuff but thiswas only out of ccuriosity...
[Desire HD General] ChyrillStucker:
Hello habnefrage,

Cynogen mod 7(CM7) is not a stable ROM. Its just a custom rom made to improve the overall user interface. It is not developed by your smart-phone company’s developer, hence it might contain certain bugs which are interrupting with SIP tasks. I prefer you install the official android rom and perform the VOIP tasks then. I’m sure you shall get positive results.

Answering your 2nd question, I would suggest other VOIP apps you should try: ringcentral, TheRealPBX.

What are the two gold-colored contacts inside the battery cover? I'm guessing they're used for ground, but what would be the ramifications of them not connecting properly? The one on the right looks flimsy...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Rumor has it, that yes, they are grounds, but the flimsy one you are

referring to acts as a ground and a component for the gps. There's a thread on the vibrant forums claiming that they tinkered with that tab and improved the gps significantly.

[Fascinate Accessories] Bwangster12:
Anyone get this for their Fascinate? Seems to me that the weird thing is the lack of car mounts made for the Fascinate that fit a case.

I found this being talked about in a few forums and thought it looked cool. Comes with a silicone looking rubber case that just slips right into the mount. My question is if anyone has this and is the case that it comes with as big as it looks.

http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-eGeneralMerch/-strse-554/SlipGrip-Car-Holder-4/Detail.bok

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qweUCxBAIU

The second link is a video demonstration of the setup with an iPhone, but to my knowledge the iPhone is a rather slim phone. This case sorta makes it look pretty thick. Maybe it's just me... but I was curious to know what others who may have it thought.
[Fascinate Accessories] pvgomer:
It looks cheap and fragile.
[Fascinate Accessories] Bwangster12:
While some might think it does... I have been hard pressed to find a good car mount made for the Fascinate. There clearly are universal mounts that would work, but something "like" the SlipGrip is much more form fitting.
[Fascinate Accessories] larry0071:
The samsung OEM car mount is great. It also has a depression for the camera that you can dremel out in about 3.5 seconds to allow for HD video recording in your race car. If you have not found a "good mount", your not looking or your too cheap :)

[Fascinate Accessories] Bwangster12:
My goal is to find a good car mount that fits a case. I would imagine everyone has a case of some sorts and was wondering what they are using in conjunction with what car mount.
[Fascinate Accessories] nunyazz:
ProClip has an adjustable mount for those with cases. They are not as nice and fitting as the ones made for the naked phone.

Software update was set to automatically look for updates, and yesterday (for the first time ever) notified me of an OTA update being available for my X10. It's the 8.4MB update I have read about, which essentially just re-installs 2.1 and makes rooting more difficult.

I don't want to install it, and I have since disabled software update checking, but I can't get rid of the notification icon advising me about the update. Does anyone know how?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faqlexi:
They keep giving me "reconditioned" Evos. Basically, everything is new on it, except for the main board.

First Evo - Started to reboot on it's own. Sprint repair center ordered "reconditioned" Evo. Was on backorder, had to wait about 3-4 days.

Second Evo - USB charging issue along w/ light leak on the outsides of the screen. Ordered "reconditioned" Evo.

Third Evo - Hotspots on the screen as soon as I turned it on in the Sprint store. They tried to change out the screen, but it seems more like a main board issue since it did the same thing on the new screen. Told me they ordered another "reconditioned" Evo. It's on backorder again, so might be a week or two.

Yesterday morning I called up Sprint and *****ed at anyone that I could get on the phone. Told them I WANT a new phone...not a "new to me" phone, but a BRAND NEW phone. Told them I don't want to hear "I'm sorry" or "I understand your frustration" because it's quite apparent that they don't.

Finally getting it escalated to within corporate after threatening the CSR level employess (including their sups) that I've filed a complaint with BBB and have dispatched an email to corporate executives at the company. Funny how much they want to take care of you once you say that. Waiting on call back from someone at Corporate.

Had a ***** this morning tell me "Maybe it was a virus you keep downloading."....No *****, it's a HARDWARE issue. HTC QA dept. seems to have been taken off the lines and told to go to accounting so they can help them count their cash.

I got a call this morning from a senior manager (directly from my email) and the guy turned out to be a complete douche. He wasn't very interested in what I had to say. He just told me that he has to follow his procedure and that if my FOURTH one has an issue, we'll look at other options. I asked him if the other options includes a new phone and he said we'll cross that bridge when we get there. :eek: Completely douchebaggery out of this ahole's mouth. I asked him how he thought having a 4th phone in my hands within a 2-3 week time frame was acceptable. All he said was he understands :mad::mad::mad:

I'm honestly thinking of paying out the cancellation fees and running from Sprint at this point.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtr145r:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliWay:
Oh God here we go again.

Leaving Sprint?! Do you seriously think AT&T, Verizon or T-mobile would have given you a new phone ? The truth is a reconditioned phone IS just as good as a new phone.

Anyway cool story bro.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faqlexi:
LOL...what?

Recondition means that the main board is reconditioned, the rest of the parts are new. I suppose light leak, hot spots, and USB charging issues are all acceptable to you.

Cool story bro...LOL.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Visionikz03:
like the other guy said, yes that sucks that u keep getting f***ed up phones but u really think the "other guys" will do u anymore favors than sprint already has? Think about it? If u have had this many replacement evos maybe u could ask them to get u a different replacement or swap for a shift...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faqlexi:
I do agree with that, however when I moved from my iPhone to the Evo, I never had such issues w/ Apple. I walked into the Apple store and always walked out as a happy customer. I just hated AT&T.

Now that the iPhone is coming to Verizon, I know I lose a lot from features point of view, but at least I know that customer service is behind me from Apple. You can hate Apple as much as you want, but you can't deny their customer service in their stores is 2nd to none.

Either way, I refuse any other phone from Sprint since I made the move because I wanted the Evo. I love the Evo, hence why I want a new one and get all this foolishness over with.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliWay:
Those are issues well known to be present on ALL EVOs, regardless if they are reconditioned or not. Sounds like you've had nothing but bad luck with build quality, And that is all.

You're right about Apple. Last time I had an issue with a macbook (the HD was corrupt after a month of use) I brought it in and they were going to replace it but it was going to take a week or so.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
I would recommend reading the book How to win Friends and Influence people.

If you want a brands new phone, the only way to get a brand new phone is to get the person you are talking to to WANT to give you a brand new phone. To do that, you need to learn what they WANT. As a CS rep, I want people to tell my boss how great I am and the company will fold without me. When I need something from someone I say this "Shiela, you are the only one that can help me here." explain the situation and tell her what I am looking for and end with "and please give me the name of your supervisor so I can contact them directly and let them know how you not only kept me as a customer, but made me completely satisfied. WHen I called I was angry at your company, and Shiela singlehandedly changed that.

Bottom line, you get WAY more bees with honey.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
Apple does have great customer service, there is no denying that whatsoever. But, if you are so disgruntled by your experiences with the Evo why don't you just go back to the iPhone? Or it may just be a good idea to not bring up apple and the iPhone on the Evo forums, I promise its only going to get you flamed.

This guy knows his stuff and is right no matter how you slice it. I went through the same issues with light leakage and screen coming up in the corner. I had Sprint send me 3 replacements before I realized that EVERY Evo is going to have a slight bit of light leakage. Light leakage is something that happens eventually anyways with any touchscreen device. Take a look at a used Ipod touch, I have seen it on many different touch's. As for the difference in new and refurb MOST of the time a refurb is actually better because the phone goes through alot more inspection and tests then a brand new one.

Sounds like bad experiences with the replacements which is very understandable. If I were in your shoes I would probably demand a new phone too, while keeping in mind that even if its new it is still going to have light leakage. From my experiences with Sprint, if you want to get something done you have to talk to Retention or Customer Relations. Not too sure what they call it now but it is basically the people who handle customers wanting to cancel their service with Sprint. Every time I have had a problem with customer service getting things done, I have just requested to talk to them. They will bend over backwards for you to keep you as a customer, as long as your respectful to them. This would be my recommendation to you from my experience, because they are the ultimate power for Customer service for Sprint. They can do alot of things and override stuff that other reps cannot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faqlexi:
Only reason I brought up Apple is due to their CS. I know their phone doesn't measure up, but after getting kicked in the nuts a few times, you want to give that part a rest and get kicked somewhere else.

Light leakage doesn't worry me too much. I haven't returned a phone or complained about a phone only due to light leakage. There has always been something else hardware wise wrong along with that.

I tried the retentions dept. They basically offered me a LG Rumor or a Blackberry Curve for $50. They said they can do nothing more if I want to cancel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
There is another member going through this same issue. The rule a thumb and apparently in the fine print somewhere it does say after 3 replacements that they have to offer you a new phone. I have actually dealt with this before and after 3 was given a new phone just didn't realize it was in fine print. But apparently it is in policy so I would bring that up to a rep if I were you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faqlexi:
