[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DatterBoy:
I was a button savior layalist for a while, didn't like having to press the physical button to bring up the SK since I didn't want to see it all the time.

BS was nice because of how little the real estate space it took up was. However, had to make BS a long press to birng up because it ineterfered with a lot of things I did.

When I upgarded to 1.1.0 BS started having lots of problems. Didn't work for the back button when SK did. not sure what happened. I also m aware of the 1.1.0 USB debug problem.

SO now I am on SK and I prefer it, but dread the beating the physical N button is going to take as a result.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
Pardon my ignorance here. What are the advantages of either over stock rooted? I've got a back button and a menu button right there at the bottom where they're handy. What advantage do I gain in using SK or BS or any other similar app? I've used Softkeys before and found the button annoying. Yes, I can move it, but I have to constantly move it. Yes, I could hide it, but what's the point? What am I gaining if I use BS or SK?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hrizzy:
Well, stock one is OK, possibly it doesn't need any Softkeys or whatever. But I just use Nookie Froyo which is to be used with one of the mentioned.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RoboRay:
Well, they provide usable buttons in full-screen apps that hide the taskbar, for one thing.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jkurl:
@rob I see your point. However I prefer the BS over the SK as it just felt more functional. Didn't like the layout if it. I could have gotten another theme i suppose. This tab is actually for my wife. The SK just seemed clunky and was a pain the butt at times. When I tried BS I like the layout and the ease of use to me. I could have used both but I had to think about my wife. My nook has gotten here yet and believe me I will be tricking it out and test more features w/ SK.

Stock rooted back & menu button doesn't show up in games.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xmellyx:
I run Nookie Froyo and I prefer the framework softkeys implemented by rookie1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932631) along with the softkeys market app.

The framework mod allows for easy access to back and menu anywhere you can see you taskbar (navigating the homescreens and most apps) and then have the softkeys market app set to a double tap of the "n" hard key for games that hide the taskbar.

This solution is ideal for me because I have access onscreen without the button that may get in the way and I still have access to the keys on the apps that hide the taskbar.

Here is the link to a flashable theme for nookie froyo 0.6.7

[HTC Inspire 4G] ch12islee:
All I know for now is that on the desire hd (compatible with inspire 4g) only has those batteries from eBay and 1300 mah from mugen which in my opinion not worth getting. The ebay ones are posted as 1500 and 1600 mah, but they seem to be 1230. I ordered the eBay battery and they seem to last shorter than stock.

no need to set them back...because if u do that...and u run SEUS..it ll give u back the older version

i am the laziest guy on this forum...hence this method is the quickest..

rooting X10i is extremely easy...check the sticky.

1. Rooted X10i

2. Root explorer app (version 2.10.1 recommended)

3. Refer to this thread.

working

I have followed imugur's instructions as given in the first post but rather than changing my UK Generic version for the Nordic one (1234-8465) I went for the Global Generic (1232-9897)

I first tried the phone's own check for updates after rebooting but it found nothing, however, I then tried PC Companion and was immediately given the new software update (with a specific mention of multitouch support being added)

Going through the process now, PC Companion estimates a total time of 30 mins

Cheers,

Mik

And what's the point of that?

The biggest advantage of flashing is to give us a faster phone and most important dualtouch.

By doing that way you can't get either.

And more. I'm not sure about this but on every custom roms you must have 435 flashed so that dualtouch work. Not sure trough.

I have heard nothing bad about battery life, but thought I would start this thread to throw some options out there on where to buy hi-cap batteries. Also if anyone has experience with a site or certain make of battery, that is made for this phone POST IT UP:). I haven't really been able to find anything.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
I guess I'll reply to the earliest thread.

You haven't heard anything bad about the battery? I have heard a whole bunch of bad things about the battery. I have also heard a whole bunch of decent things about the battery which leads me - and I'm sure many other android users - to believe that with SMART management and usage, there is no reason the battery shouldn't last one day.

If there was a proven extended battery greater than 1300mah on the market right now, I would have had one ordered and delivered to my doorstep already. However, because of the hardware design, this may prove difficult for manufacturers.

My plan is to get the phone, set it up, possibly root - and then evaluate if the battery is adequate - as many had said it is. If it is REALLY bad, I mean frustrating, leaving me stranded in a bad part of town with no cell phone... then I will return it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Thats kind of what I had planned as well. I may also put a rom on it if they start coming out soon enough, because they have obviously shown to drastically improve battery on many many devices. BTW did find a couple batteries on ebay, up to 1600mah but obviously there is no way to tell if they are worth a dang or not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
They're not worth a dang from what I've read. Crap manufacturers label batteries as they'd like - good luck proving them wrong.

I'm looking out for a legitimate battery, not from ebay, that is over 1300mah. Will post if said battery is found.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mentalcase:
I saw a review of the seidio "extended" capacity battery for the dhd and results were not very good. The battery is listed as a 1600mah, but it's true capacity was only about 85% of what it was rated. That percentage fluctuated as well and was some times as low as 70%. The HTC batteries while only being 1230mah were close to 95% of it's rated. So it seems that the stock batteries are the best choice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Looks like I may be purchasing a stock battery, and a car charger. :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] driftkidd2323:
well, I've read that the desire and inspire are basically the same phone, if that is the case than I know, personally, 4 people who own this battery and have said it adds about 2 hours of life with moderate to heavy usage.

[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Well i see they ship to the Us, but what about payment methods?
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
I think you just pay them... it will convert US to pounds.

I ordered a pair of jeans from France this year and you paid as you would anything else... it just converts the euro into US and thats what it takes from your bank.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
I would invest in extra chargers. I picked up an inspire today and that battery door is almost impossible to get off. It would be an act in frustration to try to change that battery even once! From what I have seen the battery is holding up pretty well. I crushed the phone for a few hours and downloaded about 20 apps on wifi. The level dropped of course but it held up better than my Nexus one is holding up these days.

I bought a couple of extra micro USB cables and I"m thinking of getting one of those portable emergency batteries.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:

Not to be argumentative, but how does a battery with 6% increase in capacity translate to about 15% increase in life expectancy? And is it really even worth it for that type of increase?
[HTC Inspire 4G] slapdaddy:
Well there is a 70mah increase and there is battery efficiency to deal with. If that Seido 1300mah battery is more efficient, there could very well be a 15% increase in life. We shall see...

(Android revolution 3.2 with recommended radio, little to no attempt to preserve battery life, screen at 30% most of the day, 2+ hours of Pandora with aux cord to car stereo, and I where I work gets poor reception)

From 100% to 7%

Unplugged time - 14 hours 45 mins

Screen on time - 3 hours 2 mins - 65% of total usage

Phone calls 13% of total usage, 20-30 mins (sorry don't have the actual duration)

Other stuff - remaining percentage

Good enough for me, ill carry the stock battery at full charge when I need it, but won't need it often.

Good result, but still not worth $40 for an extra 70 mah

BATTERY

Hi guys, I see a lot of talk about batteries and price.

I think having an extra battery is very important in case you find yourself away from power and your phone battery dies.

I buy my batteries from the place for the last four phones I have had. (I am not part of this website in any way). A battery for our Inspire 4G is only about $8.00 and I have bought four of them (plus a lot of covers and stuff) each battery I have from these guys has been just as good and last during the day just as well as the stock battery.

Yes the shipping is steep, but if you pay $40.00 for one battery I can buy 3 batteries have them overnight for the same $40.00. :)

When I buy from this site I always us the overnight express and I have received my order the NEXT day (it comes from Hong Kong). if you use the cheepest shipping it can take 15 days :(

[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I agree having extra batteries is great but the HTC case makes it a chore swapping batteries ... would have been a lot easier if the battery door were the bottom slide off but then I'd be *****ing about the sim and micro SD slot haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] kopsis:
I found that after a half dozen swaps, the battery door "loosens up" and swapping becomes quick and painless. On my Inspire, I can pop the battery door off in less time than it takes to get the SIM/SD cover off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alwayslearning:
I have found the same to be true
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
It becomes easier, never "quick and painless" :-)

If it's plugged in, you still lose power to the device when swapping batteries. :-(

I like devices where they make it easy to swap batteries. HTC seems to be in denial about their power shortcomings. :-(
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
Try prying with your fingernail from right next to the volume + button,even on the first attempt to take it off this made it much easier, now I could probably have the old battery out and new battery in and door back on in 10-15 seconds, plus reboot time
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
You're missing my point... reboot time is 2-5 minutes. But the issue is the fact that it's such a small battery.

The battery on the Thunderbolt is different, right?

I see Siedeo just came out with a 1600 mah battery for Thunderbolt\MyTouch
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
Yes, the thunderbolt battery is different, sadly.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-inspire-4g/69150-does-thunderbolt-battery-fit-inspire.html

Sorry I miss understood, the reboot time doesn't really bother me as I just stick it in my pocket for the few minutes, I do wish HTC gave us more options, but it could be worse, and this phone is very efficient, I get better battery life on this than I did on my heavily themed iPhone 3gs, even with this huge screen.

I had the thought of taking a thin battery(maybe iPhone battery?) And fit it into a case, then run a ribbon cable through the battery door to the back of the phone. As long as the 2 batteries are fully charged then connected outside the phone for a while to let their voltages equal, no harm would be done to the phone. But this would be a bit more than it is worth for me. Maybe a project for someone to take on?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AllTheWay:
I bought a battery for my Inspire on www.obostore.com for $10 for a 1800mAh. Huge improvement on battery life. Phone has never once over heated or random rebooted. I also bought one for the HD2 and had similiar results. I highly recommend it. Plus what can you lose for free shipping and $10.

Plus its the same size as the original battery.

I get close to 40 hours of time with moderate use.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Same Chinese crap. The improvement is purely psychological.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:

[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
I am not seeing it on their website? Just a 1300 ? Do you have the link to the page with the 1800 battery per chance? :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I'm guessing he is a reseller for that site and will magically provide a link to a referral partner link, lol. I contacted their customer service and they said for Inspire 4G they don't carry a 1800, just the 1300.

As many people believe in a god that doesn't exist, just because their church tells them to believe... it's gotta be the same thing psychologically where they see someone writes 1600 or 1800 on a 900mah battery and eventually they begin to believe they're getting better performance, haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] Krisbo:

Actually, Andida batteries are made in Hong Kong. Furthermore, HTC are a Taiwanese company. Why do you value something made in Taiwan so highly over the rest of Asia? Please leave keep your ignorance to yourself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
You're a moron, Honk Kong is the Peoples Republic of CHINA!

Buy electronics from HK and TW and compare.... HK imports the crap from china and ships it out, Taiwan is known for better quality.

Edit: I frequently travel to HK and Taiwan so I speak from personal experience BTW.... Familiar with the good and the crap. These batteries are the later.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Krisbo:
If you want to get technical, Hong Kong is a special administrative region which set's it, and Macau, apart from the rest of the People's Republic of China. It has it's own laws and it's own quality standards so they should not be lumped in the same category when it comes to mass production. You're acting as though I've said "They're manufactured in Beijing, not China".

EDIT: ...Don't try to act all snooty and superior. Just because you've been there does not make you an expert on the quality and standards of all of continental Asia's mass produced electronics.
