nope captivate is a 3g phone even u change the rom its wont become 4g.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reefermattness:
By wireless companies only bumping up to HSPA+ and calling it "4g" the captivate is capable of "4g".

I need an unlocked phone

Thing iss my budget is 350

I was thinking of getting a x10 used

or just get a samsung s.

Whats your opinion?

Thanks. Andriod only though. can you give me other choices ?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] karendar:
If you like messing around with your phone (Flashing, tweaking, modding, etc.) and the T-MOUS HD2 works in your area for 3G, go with that.

Otherwise, a used Nexus One or HTC Desire I'd say... The X10 isn't what it's cracked up to be.

i don't like samsung ,because my sister have one , voice of it very low
[General Questions and Answers] ksizzle9:
Well I can start by saying there is a huge difference between a nexus s and a x10. They both suck. The nexus s is a Samsung and it's already falling behind many android phones about to be released, nexus s is much better than the Sony tho. I olwould wait a month or so and you can get a dual core. They are on the way.

[General Questions and Answers] emceerayd:
Shop around. Keep your options open. Plenty of phones out there that are better than the x10 Sam S. Check Craigslist, ask your friends, etc. You can get a good deal for 350.

Any positive reviews with Juice Defender ? I had it on my phone and used it on the extreme settings but didn't notice any difference even though it say it has improved my battery life by 1.68 times.

How do you make it really work ? Any tweaks and suggestions are welcome.

PS: Are there are more battery boosting applications out there that enhance the battery life ?
[Desire HD General] SAPPH1RE:
Is there any battery life boosting app that works?

I don't believe all the hype.. It runs in the background, so the apps itself is a battery drainer..

Sorry, but for me, lowering brightness, turning off 3g and mobile network when unused and also turning off haptic feedback helps increasing my battery's charge..;)
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
Of course these apps work. They turn off all radios when the screen is off, so, of course, they save battery.

Have you used this baby with radios enabled and the screen off? It gushes battery. With Juicedefender it looses very little battery when you're not using it (I should point out that the app will occasionally switch on the radio to get updates).

I recommend that you let JD manage your data and wi fi connections. It will intelligently use the radio that best saves battery. After some training, its like magic (it trains itself).

I've used several battery savers and I like Juicedefender best. It permits you to actually use the phone without disabling every damn facility and still get a day of use out of it.
[Desire HD General] djcsurf:
Tried it once but use Green Power Battery Saver now, much prefer the easier UI

If rooted, along with LeeDrOiD 1.5.0 my battery life is amazing :D
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
I turn off wifi when I'm not using it, but 3g is too much hassle and I suppose I do struggle to get much more than 24 hours out of a single charge but gushing battery?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I think the phone does this without the help of additional apps. I'm losing only 1% per hour on standby with 3g enabled and auto sync. I did nothing special to the phone and I have no "battery saving" app. Does it, practically anyway, get any better?

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
You get 100 hours out of this phone with 3G enabled and auto-syncing Facebook, Twitter, etc? You must have got one out of that batch of super-phones that HTC accidentally produced.
[Desire HD General] Roy_Drage:

I'm trying green power at the mo.

[Desire HD General] futur1sm:
I don't see the need to use stuff like this. I unplugged mine this morning and I still have 85% left with some moderate use with Facebook on push, weather and e-mail on 1 hour and others on once a day or update when opened.

I should point out I am using the Cingular radio and Android Revolution HD 2.0.9 but even when I was on stock I didn't have a terrible drain unless I had HTC Sense syncing away to itself. That seems to be the key issue.

I'm using the premium one though so there is a few extra settings. It definitely works though.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
You may be missing the "on standby" part of my post that refers to the one made by another poster. The point is, I think the phone already disabled unneeded functions without the need for an app. My phone doesn't have unbelievable battery life, but it doesn't suck either.

Anyways, I think "battery saving" apps just end up using more power.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] FutureClimax:
I have dissconnected phone from computer on Sunday 7 pm. Started Juice defender. About three hours of reading comics, about 30 minutes phone calls, email few times a day and some internet/market (about 1/1.5 hours) and on Tuesday, 2 pm, I still have 34% battery. There was some music playing for about an hour and video clips for same time. Great result in my opinion. I think Juice defender works great. At least very good.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
JD is alright, its not stellar but it does help (for me and my settings and usage). It will help a lot better if you purchase Ultimate Juice, that's when it starts to be interesting but that's the thing, you'd have to purchase it before you discover if its the best solution for you.

I don't think there's one app that will universally make our battery life better. The apps will help if you could make its functions play well with your settings and style of usage. Short of saying that if you find an app that will enhance your battery saving habits and capitalize on the opportunities that your phone can save power, then that'll be the best option for you... :D

JD is alright, UJ makes it a lot better...
[Desire HD General] FutureClimax:
It looks like it is better solution then buying extra bettery. Good job. I am gonna try it for some more time and if the effect will be the same I will get the UJ. Thanks.
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
No, I didn't miss that part. This phone does not drain at 1% per hour with 3G and syncing enabled - in standby or not in standby. It just doesn't. And there are newbies reading this forum who might believe your figures.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
It does. I sleep for 8 hours, I lose 8%. I think its supports the argument that the phone only uses resources when needed. Since it doesnt sync the entire time and only when its scheduled to, I dont see this is as an impossible figure.

Lets try to remember the context comments are presented in this thread.

Android Assistant 2.2

Hi all, I would like just let you know, I tried a lot of apps for improving battery life, incl. Juice defender, and I must say the best one I tried is Android Assistant 2.2 build 15, after few settings I can say is really the best : full auto sync on gmail + company mail + weather, screen on 10%, screen off after 30s, gsm only, mobile data always-on, playing tank hero and few more games couple times a day, phone calls 30 - 45 minutes per day, 10 - 15 text per day, GTalk always on - and using quite a lot, wifi is on from 7.00 pm till 12.00 am, vibration always on, and result Full 2 days without any problems and overnight no any limitations, if I am using limitations overnight and not playing so much, and no wifi, battery will make easy 3 full days... :)
[Desire HD General] mngmng:
Sorry but I can't find it on the market. Is the app's name correct?

i have recently downloaded juicedefender and been using extreme settings and configured some apps. it said something x5.86 :cool:

but still i recently downloaded it so i don't know whether it really works or not. I have been using easy battery saver and it was giving good results.

1 and 1/2- 2 hours gaming. two hours on internet (wifi) and yet 30% battery was stilll left.Easy battery saver did its job till now. But one of my friends say juice defender is the best. I will be using it for a and the decide whether it is better than easy battery saver or not
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
I am using StreakDroid 1.6.1 and people were complaining I am whispering into the phone when I am in a call with them. The mic was too soft. So did a little digging around and found some files over at the Hero forums here on xda. Basically, you just gotta copy the 3 files over to /system/etc/.

By default, only one of those files is present in /system/etc/. I opened the files and

saw HTC everywhere. I did a backup of the original file and copied these 3 files anyway and rebooted. Made a test call and my mic is working perfectly now. No issues whatsoever. You can try it if you have similar issues like me. Just make a backup first. Although it works, I'd appreciate if anyone takes a look and clean it up for the Streak. And oh, the usual disclaimer... I am not responsible if this screws up your phone, bankrupts you and/or causes Global Thermonuclear War. Also, mods, I believe this applies to all roms and not just StreakDroid.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Placebo effect, i'm afraid. Those are HTC files and are not used by the streak.

Look at the logcat as you reboot your phone, those files will never be read.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
It cant be placebo. The people I called had no idea i changed anything yet they all said they hear my alot better now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Trust me, they don't do anything.

I worked with these files all last year (Check the "louder volume hack" thread in my sig), they don't work on the Streak. They are for the old HTC audio driver (which has been phased out now, these .csv don't work on ANY phone released after, and including, the Nexus) which the Streak doesn't use. (Even if they did work, audiopreprocess.csv and audiofilter.csv wouldn't do anything to the microphone anyway)

Try doing "killall mediaserver" in adb and watch the logcat. The files aren't read.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Thanks for that. I,however, still believe they did something. Refreshed the mic perhaps? Whatever they did, it worked. No more complaints from people saying im too soft lol.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
I think it was rebooting your phone that sorted your mic out rather than the files :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] scuzzo7:
I agree it must have been a reboot, i have the same problem and i have to reboot the entire phone. VERY annoying. Would the louder-volume kernel fix this?

[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
He isnt moaning, he was just convincing me they dont work. :o
[Streak 5 Android Development] THJahar:
What I discovered was that if my Streak was in vibrate mode, then the mic volume was very low.

Hang up, and set the phone to normal and and voila, the caller can actually hear me again.

Not sure if it's related to the widget I use to set to vibrate mode or whether it's the phone. Perhaps I oughta investigate more.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:

Yeah only problem is that you have to pay for it. If somebody added permissions to their kernel for wired tether for root users u could tether for free. Just came from an evo so I didn't have this problem but thinking about returning fascinate and keeping sprint.

[Fascinate General] john122675:
you can get easy tether pro or pdanet pro on www.blackdroid.net for free. And i am not sure if i could post that on here so please delete this reply if that is something not allowed on here.
[Fascinate General] WhiteRocks:
easytether I found to be more reliable...
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
Nothing is faster or more reliable than Wired Tether for Root users, in terms of wired tethering.

Upsetting that my Fascinate, and my friend's Droid X are incapable.

PDANet and EasyTether are OK.

But they communicate differently than Wired Tether, in a way that makes them inherently less reliable.

I wonder if a kernel won't be put together with it eventually.

I use it every day. I have to use my first-generation android phone (HTC Eris).

1. I have used the Calkulin remove sense zip that is floating around (obviously after I did a nandroid backup), and my ADW ex launcher is acting funky. It is now FC after switching home pages and I needed to rebuild all my widgets. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

2. Is there any way to change default icons? I am using ADW ex with the Tron Legacy theme and the icons look amazing. But I also use the Multicon app, and placing shortcuts into the widget makes the icon default back to the standard android icon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
1) Never used ADW EX but haven't found a lot of advantage to using the remove Sense zip. I am running LP instead of the Sense and there is no slowdown at all with it still on there. What are you trying to accomplish by removing the Sense?

2) Don't think you are going to have those options using Multicon because it is going to use the default. I would think the application itself would have to be modified to make this work. If you just want more icons on the screen than maybe look into changing the resolution instead of running Multicon.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Rooting gives you administrative control over your phone and allows you to flash custom versions of Android. It basically allows you to have much more control over what you can do on your phone.
