[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSkeet:
Here is roughly my day.

Wake up at 6am phone off the charger walk to work and play on it for about 15min.

During work I play (same games some internet some engadget ;)) here and there for about 10min plus 30+ on my break so all together will be more than 1,5hrs finish work at 4pm and my battery is at about 60-70% get back home surf the net for half hour and turn on hotspot (don't have proper internet at home) this itself drains a lot of battery but if I don't use hotspot and play with the phone instead I manage to get till about 5 5,30 till phone battery goes down to 20% and this is very heavy usage. Had days (Fridays ;p) where after work I didn't use the phone much just few text and it lasted me till next day with about 15% left.

Things is I don't call much. I have 900min and this month used only 100 (lol)

My updates are every 3hrs, push for gmail (i have one account for my regular emails and one just to store contacts without any crappy email addresses) gmail used as exchange account.

Screen on 23% brightness.

Lately battery is draining fast because I've installed whatsapp as my miss is abroad so we save some pennies ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XartzMAX:
[SOLVED] Final Decision : Going with the Original Desire!

I was doing some more research, and Decided to buy the 'Old' Desire

And Thank you all for your contribution with experiences and thoughts, guys trust me it did help eventhough I didnt go for the DHD !

So for everyone I m gonna breakdown the reasons for my decision. (at least on the paper Desire outscored the DHD)

Battery Life

A huge factor if not the critical. I found that Desire has better Battery life than DHD, in comments I found Desire "Only lasts a day\ have to recharge everyday" etc and with DHD I found "Battery life is abysmal dont last the day\ have to plug in for midday charge" etc, but I know some of you guys anyway manage to keep the juice to last the day, anyway Desire 1 point...

Quadrant Score

http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/ (with 1GHz ranking) WOW this is INCREDIBLE ! Desire outsmarted the DHD came up with 3rd in benchmark with 1. Samsung Epic 4G 2. Samsung Galaxy S 3. LG Optimus 2X (dual core anyway) so its actually second place considering both first two are identical. (now who says Desire is not for gaming???)

Techradar No. 1 phone of all times

with DHD on the 3rd place http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...e-phones-in-the-world-today-645440?artc_pg=21

Pixel Density

Not a big point but anyway a point for desire. ;)

Looks

DHD looks minimalistic on the face and Desire looks good too. And the physical Buttons on Desire... (are they better than the capacitive counterparts?)

Design

I dont like the patchy design of the DHD to be honest. Looks less durable and what about the gap between the bottom door? Cant put a custom cover to get bigger battery even. And the kickstand is utterly useless for many if used with a casing which is mostly the case. And the camera protruding out is menacing and accident prone.

Size and Weight

164g Vs 135g big deal. Pocketability issues, bulge, and for the long hours at the University it's gonna cost me some uncomfortable time.

Camera

Desire's cam is not the best, washed off colors etc.. but is the cam on the DHD fantastic? Nope, focus errors, too much sharpening etc. But HD footage is really cool. Not a big improvement worth considering I think.

DHD issues

Reception issues, (death grip?) , Sometimes lagging (occational 100% CPU usage, saw in a thread in XDA) Desire's problems were ironed out mostly I guess with the hardware revisions. No more overheat etc....

Loudness

Desire is louder than DHD http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-review-468p8.php and http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_... my Desire. Any more comments are welcome. :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XartzMAX:
Just one more thing to add, I think the DHD is an overkill. They've got the same snappy so the apps should run at the same speed. And android doesnt have too many 3D games (yet) and I think Desire will do fine until at least the end of this year. Then the dual core phone will go mainstream and prices will fall. So even with the Adreno 205 I dont think DHD is leaps and bounds ahead of the Desire in technology aspect. (buy anyway we can port the DHD rom to desire !!)

Cheers.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
It's not the same snappy. Desire hd has the second generation version which uses less power and overclocks better.

-----

Someone Swyped my idea.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruchern:
Near 2 months of using DHD. Battery life is improving.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMango:
This review shows the DHD battery lasts longer:

http://www.fastbutter.com/Article/227/HTC-In-Depth-Review--HTC-Desire-HD

"Despite Desire HD has a battery of 1230 mAh it sweep the carpet with its older sibling Desire with its 1400 mAh battery. When Desire goes out after almost exactly five hours Desire HD still have 19% battery left and rolls on for one hour and two minutes more- despite the smaller battery."

I guess the people with battery problems are having the cpu draining /init bug.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] muteminority:
Ok, so I don't really know what happened. I rooted my Nexus one a few weeks ago with super one click, and used rom manager to flash clockworkmod recovery, partition my sd card, and then flash CM6.1, everything went fine and it was much easier and quicker than I thought it would be to do.

So, for my fiance's birthday today I started to do the same for her Mytouch 3G as a birthday surprise. I was able to get it rooted using super one click, flashed clockworkmod recovery with rom manager, and everything seemed fine. Then I tried to flash CM6, and it didn't work, then tried it a few more times, and a few other ways, and now the mytouch green screen is looping and I can't get it to turn all the way on, and now I'm going on 6+ hours and I am stumped.

Can anyone please please please help!

I am still able to get to fastboot, and also to clockworkmod recovery, but I have no idea what to do from there, and I have tried everything that my unknowledgable brain can think of. I have done a ton of searches but I can't seem to find any anwers.

Can anyone please help, I would really appreciate it! This turned from a birthday surprise to make her phone more awesome, and now I can't even get it to be usable. :-(

I have completely failed as a signifigant other...

ower your phone down, remove your battery, then reinsert your battery and go back into recovery mode, wipe and then reload the ROM
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
LMAO....For real though, what's your fasboot info?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] muteminority:
Thank you so much for your reply! I am still really stumped, :( :confused:

Ok, I did exactly what you said to do (twice), and everything looks good up to this point:

(ok, couldn't get the image to link in here because I don't have over 8 posts yet, I can either pm the link, or email the photo or the link)

where it just goes back to the clockworkmod recovery, so I went to reboot, and it gets stuck back in the loop.

Also, the only time I can catch it to either get into fastboot to shut the phone down or get it into clockworkmod recovery is in between the loops (not sure if that info helps)

Thank you again for your help (and anyone else who can help as well). I have skype btw, if it might be easier to help that way.

Also, anyone who can either help me get back to stock froyo or flashed to CM6, there's beer money in it for you! I can't afford a new phone at the moment, and I am really feeling rather embarrassed and inadequate at the moment, lol.

Thanks,

- Muteminority
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
That's why I need your fastboot info, to get you working. Pull the battery to turn the phone off, then boot into fastboot. I need everything from there.

EDIT: You could also hit me up on Gtalk or MSN messenger at Bob692006@gmail.com

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] muteminority:
Thank you so much for all the great help!!!

She is so happy, and you really saved me!!!

Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Dude I just flashed that ROM on my phone and it's freaking sweet. That's gotta be one of the best theme jobs I've seen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] muteminority:
It is pretty awesome, and she's loving it! She's said, and from the little bit that I've played with it, that it is a decent bit faster. Although I'm thinking that may in part be because of ADW launcher (which she had never tried before), and also I think she got rid of a few apps that were just taking up space.

Either way, she's super happy with it!

Also, in case anyone was interested, we had to revert back to the unrooted stock 1.6 to get it out of the boot loop, and then rooted with universal androot app, and then flashed Ra recovery through rom manager, and then flashed the rom/theme from Ra recovery. And everything is working great, and I learned quite a bit about this stuff over the past few days!!!

Thanks again to DonJuan692006, I really appreciate it!!!

Now I'm thinking of trying out the CM7 Nightlies on my N1, ;-)

[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Hey everyone, just looking for some extra batteries for my Nexus S, and I am struggling to find some Samsung Genuine ones. I have read about the Behold/Moment batteries I think, but I would prefer official ones first, however you may prove me wrong ;)

Something along the lines of this (desktop charger for the Galaxy S) would also be nice to have, so I don't have to put it in the phone to charge. Would the above mentioned batteries work in such a charger?

I would also prefer and Aussie power plug, but I have plenty of universal adaptors lying around so it's no biggie :p

I'm just wary about getting dud batteries, having only had bad experiences with cheap ones before.

Cheers!
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Ok I found this on the US Samsung site, http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/AB653850CABSTD, lists the Nexus S as compatible and also the Moment, so I may as well just get a couple of those Moment batteries off Amazon from thePruneDanish, as it seems to be the best for having real batteries, not copies.

I will still try and find more on the dock though.
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Ok, on the dock front, I may as well get this one: http://www.cellphoneshop.net/m850desktop.html

But just one question about it. On my Nexus, if I charge via certain USB cables it will come up as USB connected and charge slower (I know why, that's not the point), so if I used a USB cable to power this charger, to charge the spare battery, would it also be slower? Or is it a hardware thing only of the Nexus.

Sorry for starting a new thread before finding out everything :( Just this last question! Then mods may delete it if they choose.
[Nexus S Accessories] shrivelfig:
This one comes with the correct plug:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300454233992

Works great, but when the charger is standing upright, the battery tends to pop out.

I bought a battery from the danish prude, and it is both genuine and 1500mAh. He seems to be out of stock, though.
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Thanks, I had found that one, may get it as it works out a couple of dollars cheaper than the previous one (shipping mainly :p ).

As for thePruneDanish, did you get them to ship internationally? I just saw on the Amazon product page that is 'Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.' can't be shipped outside of the US. Is this because it is a battery? And they can't be shipped easily or something? Also what is postage like to Australia (I have never been able to understand the shipping price table on Amazon :S )

Thanks so much for that though!
[Nexus S Accessories] shrivelfig:
Forget Amazon, their shipping policies on electronics are insanely stupid. I bought from here:

http://stores.ebay.com/thePruneDanish

Yeah, expensive shipping. But it's genuine and 1500mAh ... :D

I have no idea why it says 900mAh. Probably because it's compatible with the Samsung M900 Moment.
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Thanks for that again! It may be worthwhile to get those, knowing they are the real thing. I was looking at these ones but the seller hasn't sold any of them so I'm hesitant about it. I wonder if thePruneDanish will consolidate, so like the US$12 shipping will cover both? That would be great if they did!
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Sorry to question, but how can you tell if it is 1500mAh? Does it say on the battery itself, or does it have similar life to your original battery?
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Ok well after some further investigating I can't seem to find any of the batteries on thePruneDanish's eBay shop, so I went local again. I found another listing for the exact same batteries by the same guy as I mentioned before, just this time they only had model numbers of the batteries (which is how I found it). Same price and all, however they have sold 12, which makes me comfortable.

Link is here.

I'll just bite the bullet and get 2 of them I think ;) hopefully because they are all the same seller I can get them at the same time!
[Nexus S Accessories] shrivelfig:
"compatible with" and no mAh rating? I wouldn't (and I didn't, I looked at those too).

It just says on the battery itself, I haven't actually used it in the phone yet. But the other battery thread speaks well of the battery and the seller.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876120

Well, still only "compatible with" and no mAh rating.

When I put the text from the eBay listing into Google (OEM BATTERY SAMSUNG SPRINT MOMENT 900mAh AB653850CA), I get this:

http://www.myaston.com/k/?view=item...TTERY+SAMSUNG+SPRINT+MOMENT+900mAh+AB653850CA
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
One of the questions is about the mAh, they replied 1500mAh so I guess it's half valid there. I understand it's a bit iffy, so I asked them if it's genuine and I'll see what happens there. That other seller still would be good if I could find some!

Edit: Can't find any mention of OEM anywhere on the page, dunno why I thought it was all good before. I hate it when the pictures aren't like ones taken by the seller! Off to look again I guess :(

I've heard that some (not this seller AFAIK) have the official label stuck onto it, but it's different underneath :(

Do you think there would be any issues with it only being 'compatible with'? It's all the same as any of the other sellers... But then again some could be shifty.

How's that seller for reliability? Seems decent however, shall look into it.

Edit: That last seller you mentioned, on that page it states the battery is 1440mAh, does any of that matter? I don't care how large the batteries are really, but does it indicate fakes?
[Nexus S Accessories] shrivelfig:
That was the 1850mAh battery that turned out to be 1150mAh. Not too surprising, actually.

It should work just fine, it just means that it's definitely not genuine. And that the mAh rating could be a bit optimistic.

The original AB653850CA battery was 1440mAh, before the Nexus S came along. It's a difference of 4%. Possibly measurable, but not noticeable.
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
That was it! And yeah, cheap large batteries are usually too good to be true :(

I'd prefer to stick to genuine batteries personally, maybe it's nothing but when ever I have used generic ones in the past they suck, even worse than the near dead battery they had replaced. This time it's just for extra power however.

4% difference doesn't bother me in the slightest, it would be nice to have more but I really don't care :p So basically you have to trust the seller when they say it's 1500 or 1440 etc.

If anyone can find a non-amazon site to buy the 1500mAh version from thePruneDanish? eBay preferred, as is PayPal but whatever goes (:
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
The original code behind the battery is:

AB653850CA 1500 mAh

and seems like it's only available from Samsung USA

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/AB653850CABSTD

not even the UK samsung website shows it
[Nexus S Accessories] DKYang:
This battery seems OEM. Everything looks identical to the original battery that came with the nexus s.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-OEM-AB65385...Accessories&hash=item20b60a83e9#ht_4122wt_905

Has the qr code and everything. Identical to the original.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
the price makes me think it's a counterfeit...
[Nexus S Accessories] DKYang:
It's about the same price as theprunedanish sells. If people think the one from prunedanish is legit, then I don't see why this one isn't either.
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Yeah looks good, but this is not for me:

:( Need to keep looking.

AllGamer, if the price is what worries you, how much would you expect to pay for a genuine battery, I'm not sure how long the Behold has been out but surely it is long enough for retailers to get them other than Samsung?
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
considering Samsung websites sells it for $30ish, anything less than $20 i'll be questioning

as the originals usually have some sort of margin to how low they can go

it might very well be real ones, but we wont know until we peel on of those stickers off, and or do a Meter test on the battery

so who wants to be a guinea pig? :D
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Yeah, what worries me is that maybe they are real batteries (genuine I mean) but have some fault, ie water damage. Because I just had to change my SIM then and I saw the water indicator on the side, where the pictures dont show...

I wonder what the margin is? Anyone here work in retail and can give us an estimate?

I would be a guinea pig :p but they don't ship to me :(
[Nexus S Accessories] ykphuah:
My battery is 2 years+ old, so I am trying to look for battery replacements, hoping that it will give my phone a bit extra juice before the year end Nexus come out.

I am confused by the batteries that are sold in ebay, e.g.:

http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/270982067924?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

It says "New OEM Samsung" so it means that this is not Genuine?

There are some that uses the "Original" keyword, will those be Genuine?

Or I really need to be looking for the Genuine keyword?
[Nexus S Accessories] Warren_Orange:
I'm in the same situation. Been looking all over. Don't know what is genuine and what is not.

[General Questions and Answers] mortallkombat:
please someone help me out here, my galaxy s takes close to 30 mins to boot since i got it rooted and cant tell why. i have already turned off all start up apps and left only the market and autokill apps. i also have android optimiser and andbox that i also use to kill apps sometimes ...........please what can i do to get it back to booting fast. when i put it off and on the apps dont load fast............it keeps cycling till like 20-30 mins b4 all the apps will appear and i only have only 180 apps on my galaxy s
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Only 180 apps :eek:

Hard reset is in order here, and i really recommend not using 'app killers' or 'optimisers' in future. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
Try deleting apps which you dont use they take up ram and all
[General Questions and Answers] mortallkombat:
how do i do hard reset...................? are there any problems with it?
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
It will return your ROM to a pristine state.

Phone Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset.
[General Questions and Answers] sheepdog elite:
+1

Task killers destabalize your system, and may very well be the root of your problem by killing apps that just keep restarting, keeping your start up process from being able to make any progress in the mean time. If you don't know that you know how to use a task killer, you shouldn't install it.
[General Questions and Answers] mortallkombat:
ok so when i reset data, is it gonna remove my root........i mean will i loose root?
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
You will lose Root unless you are using a Custom ROM with Root built in. It does sound like the Reset is needed though and to re-root would only take a few minutes.

Putting 180 Apps back on may take considerably longer though :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] mortallkombat:
ok, thanks again i will try n do that if the problem persists

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fighteden:
Hi, i have this user who claimed to (might be the first in the world as i speak) have enabled X10 multitouch without rooting his device.

As i try to reason with him that he is wrong and might be getting the wrong information, he speaks even bolder and louder (even to a point of doubting the wonderful guys here at XDA of their hardwork?)

He was trying to sell his used X10 on a local forum.

The link is here:

lowyat.net/topic/1731902

Below are quoted from him

So can anyone confirm what he said is true/false?

because i also own a X10 and i have yet to root mine to get multitouch.

Thanks for reading.

Hi!

I want to get rid off some apks (see title) with titanium backup.

The problem is, that those apks are listed as service, so titanium backup only backups data and not the app itself. So there is no way to restore?

Is there a way to restore these pre- installed apps after deletion (maybe I change my mind ;)).

TIA,

Caveman
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dongimin2:
I'm sure Layar is avalible on the market, so is the CarHome. LG App advisor is crap so you can forget about it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Copy the apk from /system/app. You can do this by mounting the system partition as read and write, then cp the apks to your sd card :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Der_Caveman:
So there is nothing other than the apk?

Why does titanium backup delete these apks without backing them up?

Thank you,

Caveman
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
By the way, I haven't tried this yet with a ROM that hasn't been deodexed. Backup both (.apk & .odex) just to be sure if you're in a stock rom.

Regarding titanium backup, I have no idea. I backed something up and uninstalled. When I tried to restore, it won't. The option is grayed out :)

EDIT: Just in case :) --> http://theandroidsite.com/2009/11/2...and-paid-android-applications-for-root-users/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Der_Caveman:
Ok, thanks.

BTW: First attempt to restore stock rom (if I saw that titanium backup did not backup LG's "services" it was too late :eek:) went bad (the phone stayed in "emergency mode")- that just increased my heart rate :D. The second attempt (without LG's modem drivers) went well :o

Thank you all!
