[Droid 2 General] V.A.T.Juice:
It's not a problem with Winamp. I searched high and low for this. Finally found the fix.

- Download Root Tools from the market (you must be rooted).

- Go to Tweaks and Hacks

- Go to Build Properties

- Go to Stagefright

- Turn on Media HTTP, hit do not reboot

- Turn on Media Scan, hit do not reboot

- Turn on Media Meta, hit do not reboot

- Turn on Media Player, this time reboot the device.

Worked for me on Droid 2 both Stock and Custom Rom.

Sometimes you have to hit the stream twice to engage the active data connection.

I believe you can do this by just editing the build.prop manually but this might be easier for someone who doesn't know how to do that.

[General Questions and Answers] BreakTheLaw:
Im trying to get an existing rom for my vibrant

Keep everything the same

But add power options, status pulldown, and battery mod to the rom

So if ever anything happens that I need to restore.my.phone, I can flash my "remix" rom

Oh so that's how u do it??

Awesome!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iTodd1986:
So my Evo 4g has Fresh Evo installed and is overclocked to 1.26 ghz.

my question is, I know how to back up my Rom using Rom Manager but how do I back up my Kernel? I know that the Kernel I am using will not work with other Roms. I am very happy with my setup but still want to mess around with other Roms.

Also, if I restore to another Rom will it screw up if that Rom is not compatible with this kernel? Last thing, if i do want to go back, where can I get the stock Evo Kernel?

Please help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sgtagem:
From all my testing its seems that clockworkmod backs up the kernal as well. I have different kernals for all the roms that i use. someone correct me if im worng but my hydra kernal does not work with evervolv and when i swich between evervolv and stock roms the kernal changes too
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iTodd1986:
So when you switch between Roms, do you use Rom Manager?

Thank you for your help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sgtagem:
When i switch I reboot into recovery then go to backup/restore and restore the one i want. so if i want my hydra kernal with stock rom ill restor that or if i want evervolv with the kernal it comes with ill choose it. I know its swaping kernals becasue evervolv wont boot correctly with hydra kernal

I've seen a bunch of battery on eBay. But I'm worried since their mostly from China. Does anyone have experience with one of these or know of an official desire or inspire battery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
I haven't seen one yet. Those cheap batteries often are no where near the capacity they claim so steer clear for now :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] calin75:
I bought one from eBay for $4.89. It claims to be 1600 mah. So far it hasn't given me a problem but the battery life seems to be about the same than the official one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Id love to see some side by side comparisons to decide if I want one.

[HTC Inspire 4G] tonyph33r:
why pay so much for battery? i got charger at home, car, work. less then $15. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] rant:
There are quite a few other 1600mAh Desire HD batteries on eBay, mostly in Hong Kong, one in Canada, for significantly less than the $103 price. That's just an insane amount of money to pay for a battery. Personally I'm happy to find one that performs as well as the stock battery and pair it with a plug-in charger so I can swap mid-day if needed. It would be killer to find a battery charger for the car too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I agree, why in the world would anyone pay $105 for a battery!?!?

Does said battery make me breakfast in the AM?

:-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Why not just plug the phone in while in the car? The adapters/cables are only a few bucks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Well the reason people buy extended batteries are because they're away from some type of charger, or don't want to hassle with a charger all day. I am one who wants to get the maximum possible out of a device, without compromising on reprogramming things to conserve battery. I'd LOVE to see a 1600 mah battery that got good reviews, but thus far everyone says since they're made with cheap chinese cells, it's really a 1200 mah battery labeled 1600.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rant:
I do plug the phone in while in the car, but it would be nice to have a spare battery charging while on the go as well, sort of a charge it and forget it type of thing in case it's needed while out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I'd say the same but the replacement procedure for getting the phone open is such a hassle, I'd prefer an extended length battery, lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] invalidefexx187:
hey guys, i was wondering if a higher mah battery would work find in my inspire, i was thinking of getting a evo shift battery, which is 1500mah, would it work?!
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
This auction is back down to $4.89. A lot of the time, when a retailer is out of stock of something, they'll jack up the price of the auction, rather than having to pull/repost the auction. This way they don't have to pay the fee to have it removed/readded, but no one in their *right* mind would buy one. I've seen this a lot with Inspire accessories...no one can keep anything in stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
I ordered this one from Amazon and it is from HTC.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CWWWJ4

And if it is garbage I can use Amazon's A to Z return policy, so I am covered. I would rather try Amazon before I would use E-bay, with Amazon there is always a way to get your money back with e-bay there is not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
That's not FROM HTC that's FOR HTC and fully after market. Boo.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
lolz @ the feedback on amazon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] egyan:
I lol'd IRL at the reviewer's comment on the bottom of the page.

edit: damn newter55 beat me to it; that's what happens when I get distracted while replying.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Not worth the risk given the seller's reputation on Amazon Marketplace. Sure the A to Z guarantee is there, but more hassle, especially if the battery is so crap it holds LESS like many have stated.

I'm just going to wait for a better option to come along... hopefully soon
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
Well I think the guy is talking out his backside because I received it today and is working fine for me, it is charging now and it had a 66% charge on it when I got it. It fits just fine in the phone, as for what the person said well you can believe what you want and get your's from E-bay I really do not care.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
You're basing a positive review on the fact that it had a charge of 66% and physically fit?

Wow you could jam a cookie into thr battery slot and satisfy half of your criteria. Haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
has htc provided official extended batteries before? or were just waiting for nothing? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
No, they have not been known to have them.... Not to speak for others, but I'm waiting for someone reputable (ie Seidio) to come out with something higher than 1300mah. 1300 is good, but 1500-1600 mah would be better.

My GUESS is that given the small space, it's not possible. And if Siedeo can't come up with a way to get 1500-1600 out of it, then it's likely not possible, and thus far the reviews of the 1500-1600 mah batteries have been that they say 1500 or 1600, but nobody has given any credible evidence that they actually last any longer.

I could scrape off the logo from a Toyota and glue on a Porsche logo, but that doesn't mean it'll drive like a Porsche. :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
Im mad at htc because they KNOW the battery life in the desire hd is crappy as hell , even the evo has a larger battery, and now the thunderbolt has a 1400 mhah battery, to me its just a slap from them :(

Are those siedeo batteries really reliable ? i dont want my phone to explode :p

Btw could we just buy the evo's battery or the thunderbolt's battery and use it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
That was my question too. What batteries will work in the Inspire? I know the Inspire is very similar to several phones that have been out for a bit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrxtcy379:
I bought a seidio 1300 mah extended battery or so they claim it was 35 dollars and works wonders it gives me a little bit extra battery life i use it as my main and use the original as a backup
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
I went ahead and bought seidio's also. I've had excellent luck with everything I have bought from them for the last 6 years
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yeah they're super reliable. This battery is fine if you're only looking for a second battery. It provides no additional use time. (See their implementation of cells vs HTC's and the 1300mah is about the same usage time as the 1230mah HTC)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
Yeah but you're overlooking the fact that changing the battery on the inspire 4g is A PAIN not something that u do on 30 seconds and besides , the battery cover can be easily broken , i need an extended battery so that i dont have to be switching batteries, i could do it in another phone but on the inspire 4g is a no go! :(

It would be really nice if they release a 1750 mah battery like they did with the droid eris, with the same size as the regular battery, i dont want some extra junk on my already not so slim phone :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] decahill:
I got one on ebay today for $25 after reading a good review on AC. The buyer said it actually had a 1600 mah label on it.

They won't let me post a link since I'm a newbie.

I'll report my results once I've got 'er.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I agree, switching batteries is a non-option thanks to the way they did the battery door. Sure wish they'd used that type of door for the SIM\MSD card as I'll swap those about once in a blue moon, lol. Oh well.

I have one of the energizer portable power packs I carry which plugs into the phone to charge when I have the need. I travel a lot so it's saved me many times already when the battery goes, plus I just throw it in my bag plugged into the phone when I get on a flight and when I get off the phone is fully charged. Amazon carries the full line of the energizer powerpacks and the price is reasonable.

I too ordered the 1600mah on eBay, so I'll post a better feedback\review once it arrives. I promise it'll be better than the other guy who posted "it fit in my phone"... lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
can u share the link on amazon for that charguer u mention? by the way seidio just released an extended battery of 1600 mah... but for the thunderbolt , isnt it supposed to be the same phone ? :confused: whats the brand of the battery u bought?

[HTC Inspire 4G] maevro:
I beg to differ. I am using the 1300mAh slim extended battery from Seidio. This phone conserves battery better than any Android phone I have had, even better than my GF's Incredible.

I think the 1300 does make a difference. I get through the day being in NYC/Brooklyn so always in peak data areas, tons of emails and texts, web and apps and finally phone calls and I make it through the day.

Yes there have been days ill charge midday if I feel like it or know ill be out late.

At night I have brightness on 0. Ill tell you that this battery is better than the battery in my Aria.

Just my opinion.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Monkeyfeng:
someone is selling seidio 1600mAh battery on ebay.

it's probably fake.

I don't know if I should buy a seidio battery or just get two OEM batteries on ebay.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
And my 12 gallon gas tank holds 14 gallons of gas. LOL... same concept. The battery can only supply the max stated mah. If you thinkin you're getting a noticeable difference, you're just seeing what you want to see. :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
its not fake! its on seidio's official site, but its branded for the thunderbolt not for the inspire 4g

That what we dont know right, if its compatible with the inspire 4g :confused:

[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Isn't the thunderbolt a different battery? If it fit the inspire or desire hd I'd imagine they'd know and sell it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
thats what i thought that it is a different battery , otherwise they'd market it for the inspire 4g too :confused:, but the thunderbolt looks identical, the unibody case at least is identical , except for the kickstand
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
I agree the bigger the battery the better but I have seen several videos of users demonstrating the best way to take the cover off and all of them say that after the first few times it gets way easier. Watching them demonstrate how they can do it repeatedly with no exaggerated effort is comforting
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
I tried to "live Chat" seidio to ask them about using the thunderbolt battery in the inspire and they emailed me to say they would get back to me in a few days. Why do they call it live chat?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RangerMoe:
I’ve read somewhere that the heavier the battery is the better the cells. Too bad they don’t give the weight in the specs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
Here is the response I got from Seidio about using the thunderbolt battery in the inspire.

"Thank you for your inquiry at Seidioonline. We are more than happy to assist you with your concern. The battery your inquiring about is for use with HTC ThunderBolt/HTC myTouch 4G."

Duh.... I know that, thats what it says plain and simple on the website. My question was aren't the Inspire and the Thunderbolts batteries exactly the same.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gbrown2036:
I just chatted with Seido and here was her response:

Lisa: The battery for the ThunderBolt and the MyTouch 4G is not compatible with the HTC Inspire 4G, but the Inspire does have its own battery available here: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi13htsur.htm
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
I just got my Inspire in the mail a few minutes ago so I shot a quick video on taking the battery door off http://youtu.be/oda-3Nfzab8
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
what a bummer! that battery is only 1300 mah ! it last just as the regular inspire 4g battery, we need an EXTENDED battery with the same size as the original :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
We need a car that can drive across the country on one tank of gas, but you can either have a pickup truck with 10 barrels of gas in the back, or a car with a 10 gallon tank that's small and effective, lol, can't have both.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
u make it look so easy, i favorited your video and all :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Wow, you have way too much time on your hands to make a video to try and refute a problem that everyone agrees exists. It sounds like if your battery door just pops off like that, maybe it's YOUR device that has the defect.

For the rest of us who are males and don't let our fingernails grow freakishly long to be able to use them as a slide-in vice between the volume rocker and battery door, i guess we'll just enjoy the video. :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
i fee like a blond girl, i didnt understand lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
LOL, was an analogy... a battery cell size (physically) dictates the time you can expect to get out of it. So to make a longer lasting battery, one would need to make the battery larger, thus enlarging the size of the device.... so they target a blend of use time and device portability.

There are other factors with conserving battery, but the basic premise is that the physical size and output operation time generally increase with each other.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
i know it was an analogy :p btw the atrix has a 1900 battery and its not massive , im not asking for a 3000 mah battery, but a 1500 mah battery would have been really nice, even samsung that's obsessed with making their phones SLIM put a 1650 mAh battery on their galaxy s II :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Have you touched an atrix ? The battery portion is noticeably thicker. You also have to realize it has a 2 core processor so uses up to 2x the battery.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...97794&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1861wt_1139

I went ahead and got that one, it's from a US Based Dealer (Brooklyn, NY) that I've had only good experiences with. It says 1600, I'll try it out and see, if it doesn't do any better I'm only out 5 bucks and have a spare battery regardless :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dacian:
Do you work a gas station or something? 2 metaphores referencing gas in one thread...lol

But I get what someone said, the stock battery does have great battery life for such low ampage. Coming off of the Evo, both have the same general software and hardware but because of the second generation snapdragon and Sense 2.0, it consumes far less power. And people seem to forget that the battery doesn't extend all the way to the edge of the battery housing, you may not need a bigger battery but a longer one and you'd still be able to use the oem door.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
It takes about 3 minutes to shoot a video with my captivated and upload it to YouTube. I think removing the cover is all about technique so I just wanted to show my fellow pda'ers what works for me. By the way, my fingernails are short :p I was just trying to help. Now that I have taken the battery door off a few times it now comes off as it should using the intended groove.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bpodz34:
Thank you for helping, some people just love to hate and cause trouble.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Not hating, it's just like if someone posts a video of their phone saying how amazingly long the battery life is... it's a well known fact that it has a hard-to-open battery door, and if it's NOT hard it's likely a build ISSUE with his, lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
I got the battery yesterday in the mail, after a few days I'll report back on how it is performing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bgweed:
You should download current widget and log the current output. Start with a full charge, log every 10 seconds (its a feature I'd the widget,I don't mean manually lol) until dead battery. We can integrate to find the battery capacity. I can do the same on my stock battery for comparison.

[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Very Preliminary Review:

I ordered the 1500mah battery from the seller in CA (the one linked in the earlier post that comes with battery and charger), and it arrived yesterday. It does say 1600mah. I gave it a full charge, and have noticed that already it's down to about 80% after about 2 hours.... so thus far performance is worse than OEM 1230mah battery.

I also ordered the one from NY but it hasn't arrived yet. I'll update when it does.
[HTC Inspire 4G] turbo098:
still on the stock battery here and rooted,on Android Revolution 4G 3.1 . i don't get 3g (in the sticks)so i'm on 2g and 34 hours and still at 50%. i know not being on 3g helps..
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
hehe yeah, and for most who buy a "4G" phone, going back to 2G really isn't a great solution for the battery's performance shortfall, hehe
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
That sounds like a plan, let me know when you want to do it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Isn't there a tool that measures the total mah capacity available from the battery that's installed? I know on just about every laptop you can go into the battery config and look at the "Capacity MAH" and the "Remaining MAH"....

Does the phone have that capability?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bgweed:
Do it whenever. Actually, save the log and send it to me... clear the log, charge overnight, then don't charge again until it dies, then save the log and send it to me. Copy the log to your computer as soon as you can after it dies so there is less data to sort through. I can do the same and ill put some comparison plots together... I can try to do it tomorrow.

Sent from my Desire HD
[HTC Inspire 4G] bgweed:
For best results here's what I'm gonna do... charge overnight, before I unplug ill set my current widget to refresh something pretty fast, like around 5 sec... then clear log and unplug. I'm going to do moderate to heavy phone use to keep the mA flowing. With higher mA values, errors will be minimized (percentage-wise). I'll be at work when it dies probably. I'll plug it in and go into recovery and mount USB and grab the file off and plot / integrate. Then proceed as normal!

I ordered the 1300 mAh Seido from Amazon and it should be here tomorrow. I'll let you guys know if there's any noticeable improvement. At worst I can use it as my main battery and use the OEM stock as a replacement.

Honestly, I don't think we're going to get any bigger than this due to the limitations of the uni-body build. For it to be more mAh's, the battery has to be physically bigger and there's no way of getting around that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bgweed:
Shawn,

Would you be willing to duplicate what californiarailroader and I are doing with the stock / ebay batteries to help us put together a semi-scientific comparison? This is our process to get some actual data:

We can post our raw data logs on the forum for anyone to look at, and I'd like to put together a quick comparison of overall capacity based on integrating the mA draw over time. I personally would really like to see the Seidio, since that was my first choice for a spare battery...
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
Sure I'm game
[HTC Inspire 4G] bgweed:
Let me know when you guys have the log file for me to check out. I have mine in excel already... did a quick plot and calculated total capacity. Here's my summary:

Total ET:	6:09

Total Points:	1641

Total Capacity (mAh):	1236mAh

Pretty close to the 1230mAh that is advertised. Looking forward to getting the other data. When I get all 3 in, I'll put the .xls up for everyone to check out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I think we all trust HTC to deliver on the mAh they promise, it's the ones from eBay that we're all skeptical about and want to see results for, hehe
[HTC Inspire 4G] bgweed:
Haha - I agree... it was more to confirm to anyone who looks at it that I know what I'm doing and that the data we get from CurrentWidget is reliable.

=)
