This a combined test of an unofficial extended battery and a gingerbread rom for the HD2

The battery:

Unofficial 2600Mah(not confirmed) extended battery

The Rom:

AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2

GB233 CM7030111 booted from SD

the circumstances:

fully charged battery

NO cable plugged in the whole time, phone was on all time

Loud ringtones, vibrate on

launcher pro

beautiful widgets on home screen

mobile data globally off (don't have a data plan), deleted apn

wifi on/off manually, only when I needed it. It was on for:3h09m29s

autosync off, wifi enabled autosync

talktime: about 30 calls, some were very short 10-15sec, some longer 5-10min all togeher 46m20s +10text message

Screen brightness on auto, Screen filter on 48% when in low light conditions

Screen was on for 2h36m08s

Signal Reception 0-4 bars depending on location, most of the time around 3 bars

Used apps:

Soundhound, Maps/streetview, Earth, Facebook, Market, app installs, Nfs Shift(5min), DolphinHD, Astro, Poweramp couple of minutes each per day

GPS was off the whole time, didn't need it.

I used the phone moderatly, not excessively. Only turned the screen on when I needed it to be on. Obviously I wanted the battery to last long, but used my phone when I needed to.

Drain readings seem to be fine, got stuck on 15% and 1% for a while, you can see it in the diagram.

See currentwidget log as well

WELL:

2DAYS18HOURS14MINUTES51SECONDS

This should be more than enough.

PLEASE NOTE, that short times of Screen/Wifi uses don't appear under the diagram
[HD2 Accessories] robrob777:
How long does the original battery last for you?
[HD2 Accessories] thinker3300:
the results seems great, maybe i should get one of those as well!!
[HD2 Accessories] jonas2295:
Which app did you use?...than i can do the same with a NAND ROM of android using an extended battery,too?
[HD2 Accessories] RicarduZonta:
More than 24 hours on moderate use. About 12 hours on excessive use. Might test that as well soon. It is a great idea to have two of those and swap them when needed. But I only managed to get these times with the rom above.
[HD2 Accessories] RicarduZonta:
You mean the app for benchmarking?

The diagram thing is a built in gingerbread feature I guess. Settings-About phone-battery use and tap the diagram on top

I used currentwidget to see drain in Mah.
[HD2 Accessories] RicarduZonta:
I am testing the OEM original battery with the same rom, will post the results soon.
[HD2 Accessories] Johnnyboy84:
Wow two days thats impressive. I have a different rom. I might consider getting an extended battery now I can barely squeeze a few hours out of my phone.
[HD2 Accessories] saurabh88:
hey frkm where didi u buy it?.plz give link fir that
[HD2 Accessories] Franquicia:
You had to remove the battery to spend 100% of energy?

Edit: Sorry, had no read this:

NO cable plugged in the whole time, phone was on all time
[HD2 Accessories] aceo07:
Where did you get the battery? I checked ebay and only found the 2400mah version now.

Also any more updates about it?
[HD2 Accessories] herlambang1972:
have you test the battery with windows phone 7? it works?
[HD2 Accessories] dimqs153:
i use 2600 ma too, n using hyperdroid n tytung kernel v8 or higher...

i think tytung the most compatible with 2600 ma batt
[HD2 Accessories] aceo07:
I bought the 2400mah battery, but it turned out it was marked 2600mah.

It lasts for a full day before it powers down, then it shows up as 44% battery if I take it out and put it back in. In process of testing it now. It's normal use with over 12hrs of poor reception and a few hours of wifi.

I'll probably boot into SD Android and retry this test.
[HD2 Accessories] geronemo:
Please do test and let us know, i am using tmobile HD2 running SuperFroyo ROM from SD, doesn't matter how i shut off the batt. life is not good as at all.

I am also looking to an extended batt. with batt. cover from ebay, i came across this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2400mAh-Extende...Accessories&hash=item27b991a2d4#ht_2375wt_905

What do u think.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
While I appreciate all that the modding/hacking community has done for us I and a few others will admit to feeling quite left out when we are using a Mac of some sort.

It seems quite dumb and weird to use an unstable platform such as windows to flash a sensitive device such as the Galaxy Tab.

Yes we know that there is Parallels and Boot Camp but again that is using a unsafe foundation for a sensitive operation.

Will there be any NATIVE tools for the Apple users soon that have the exact same features and uses?

KEEP THE COMMENTS CLEAN. WE WANT THIS TO BE A FRIENDLY TOPIC! THANK YOU!
[Galaxy Tab General] kay_kiat88:
windows is not unstable.

there's heimdall which u can use to flash your tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
As has been previously mentioned, Heimdall is available on OS/X, so you didn't really research this topic too well before posting! :)

Having said that, whilst I have 3 Macs, I still prefer to use Odin on Windows, and I thoroughly disagree that Windows is unstable. It can be made to be unstable, true, but a well maintained an administered Windows system (especially x64) can be very stable indeed!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
I apologize then. I am not a fanboy of anysort I just do not trust Windows that much anymore due to issues with it. My apologies if I offended anyone with my "views".

When I searched for OSX Software for some odd reason this "Heimdall" did not show up. Guess I put the incorrect parameters in.

Thanks for setting me straight. ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] kay_kiat88:
Just be a bit more friendly next time instead of asking people to go away when asking for help. Or you could do a search first before posting.
[Galaxy Tab General] DemonGloom:
And remove that big red letters, please
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
Yes that big red lettering is ignorant. Also, your a MAC user. The OS is MAC not Apple...
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
Hmm....that WAS friendly....and I did do a search. Please read the other replies and you will see that. ;)

Sorry but it is the only way to get the point across. Apologies. However I did narrow it down a little.

Does not matter.....you got what I meant right? Sorry if it offended you in some way.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
I use Odin from a Windows 7 virtual machine within Parallels, it runs fine.

I'm also running OS X, but not on Apple hardware, as my system is roughly equivalent to the most powerful system they offer (as far as CPU/GPU anyway), but built for about 1/4 of the price. I don't want to pay the premium mainly because the hardware has their logo on it, but the OS is fantastic.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
It is a consideration I have been playing with.....but to purchase Windows 7 AND Parallels....I dunno.

Thank you though. Appreciate the response. :cool:
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
Technically he said "Apple users" never mentioning any OS, and considering that Mac OS X runs only on Apple hardware (or hardware pretending to be Apple like for the relatively rare hackintosh users) he's quite correct. On the other hand a MAC is a Media Access Code and not a short version of Macintosh...

That said: yeah, Heimdall. Requires a restart since it installs a kernel extension, but it works well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mimsan69:
Hi there,

Is there anyone in here who's experiencing hangings when "bending" the Leo/HD2?

Strange question? YES!

But the thing is... I keep my mobile phone in the pocket of my jeans. They're not that tight, but when I sit down they're stretching in the part where the pockets are. That makes the phone "bend"/twist from the force which also causes it to hang almost every time. The only way to start it again is to remove the battery pack. I've tried "bending" it carefully outside of the pocket to summon the problem which also is done with ease.

Is it the Leo/HD2 that is fragile in general or is it my phone that's got so many bends and twists that it's broken?

Thanks for your input.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kinsago:
I have my phone in my pocket as well but have never had this problem. My advice would be... don't leave phone in pocket :)

On a side note, how cool would it be to have a flexi-phone?!?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mimsan69:
The thing is my phone has got a few hits when my daughter beat the crap out of Talking Tom. That's why I'm checking around to see if it's just me... so far it seems so :(

Flexi-phone would have solved it. Great idea! :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
My screen has several cracks and mine now flexes quite a bit, especially as you say when you sit with it in your pocket. I'd hazard a guess that you have either separated the glass from the screen, or a mounting screw has come loose. All the stiffness is in the glass and screen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] n1vlek:
quick question....did u leave it in the side pockets or the back pockets? because i believe hd2 arent that fragile. i always put it in my back pocket and never had a scratch or bending of phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] koekiemonsterjr:
I've never had my phone flex at all. That's crazy
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
hehe, whats crazy is the sinking feeling when you hear it creak in your pocket, and the glass grinding together and squeaks a little. (I dropped it, about five long cracks from one corner)

One of these days ill hear it snap, im sure.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] koekiemonsterjr:
yikes, that would scare me. I'm rough on my phone. I accidentally stepped on it when i dropped it on a gravel road once (ahh the beauty of alcohol), but I had to go down on my motorcycle with it in my pocket to make it crack. But I did right that time, nice little spiderweb. Bought a replacement screen, broke a ribbon cable taking the broken screen off. Got up and threw it in the trash.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
WOW, you all are crazy... But a quick solution.

Take better care of your phone really thats all that needs to be said here.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mimsan69:
I have it in my side pocket, right one to be exact :)

Like the way this thread turned out, hehe :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aron1980:
I just grabbed my phone up this morning and have tried several times to charge it from the wall. However, it will not charge from the wall. If I plug it into the computer it works fine. Any thoughts on how to address this problem?

edit: So it seems that the wall charger only works with USB debugging on. Is that proper? Shouldn't it charge either way?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
Do you have the stock charger, or a different charger?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aron1980:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Most likely a false positive, but either way windows viruses can't infect your tablet. Android malware is a completely different beast.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekrhino:
+1 Definately a false positive

Windows malware can't affect Android and visa versa.

Also, though z4Root is an exploit script it is not Android Malware.

So this brings up something I've been wondering about. Do we need to protect the G-Tab against spam and viruses? Is there a vulnerability? If so, what is recommended?

Thanks!

There is a patch currently available to correct this exploit for all pre Gingerbread ROMs (TnT, VEGA, etc...)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977756&highlight=[Patch]

Also, I installed Lookout Mobile Security to scan all new apps that I install because I do a lot of sideloading and get many apps via newsgroups.

So I need to be extra careful considering where I go to get apps.

Another method I tend to use before installing sideloaded apps is a batch conversion to zip "ren *.apk *.zip" then scan the zip files with anitvirus on my pc.

If they come out clean I will batch convert them back to apk "ren *.zip *.apk" then proceed to install at will.

I know that Windows & Android Malware are two different types but you NEVER KNOW with those that have malicious intent hence having Lookout Mobile Security installed on my GTAB. I'm just trying to cover all sides.

After installing dexter's 1.3 mod, i still do not see market....I know mod works because of sound volume change...I checked sd card on tablet and it shows update.zip.zip but on laptop card reads update.zip only...is that where the problem lies?

[A7 General] t_sandat8:
i dont know wy people dont explain this better. instead of just reposting links to instruction that need clarification.

when you download he dexter mod file its allready a zip file. so all you have to do is rename it to

update
[A7 General] middle_road:
Not quite. If you do that on any of my workstations or laptops you will end up with a file

named just 'Update.'

It all depends on the settings you have in Windows File Manager.

If a user is going to be dealing with file extensions then the feature that is set to

'Hide File Extensions' needs to be disabled, Hence the link to the post on how to do that.

The instructions in the posting do not need clarification, File Manager needs tweaking

and that is how it needs to be configured to eliminate confusion.

It's rough that MS still realies on file extensions. And then when users are trying to do

something that requires that detail it gets confusing.

[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Are you serious? Get off the cheap drugs, the expensive ones won't $#% you up so bad.

I think you are actually the one that started me on that rant that I linked (that went into enough detail that it described, and gave instructions on how to fix people's common issues from TWO OPERATING SYSTEMS!) You keep telling people "just name it update" you are wrong, dead wrong. the file NEEDS to be update

.zip

and your generalization will only cause issues for people that wouldn't have had them otherwise... So it looks like you are the one that posts instructions that need clarification.

I posted the link because it had already been answered, I am not going to type until I am blue in the face just because some people don't have the gift of search.

You just became my favorite xda member for today. :)

It's unfortunate that you had to type all that out just because this kid won't actually read the content of a link that, as it ends up, was in response to him anyway lol

Help Please

I just received an A7 that I purchased for my wife. Want to add the marketplace and the ability to tether with an EVO. Have been reading and am worried that I may do more damage than good. If anyone has the time to help a beginner, I would be sincerely appreciative. Thanks and have a great day! :)

Frank
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
1) Install elocitymod 1.3 on your A7 (install instructions are at the beginning of the thread for it in the A7 Development section)

2) Wait on the bluetooth fix to see if you have any problems (I am running without the BT fix and running fine, others have issues and the BT fix helps them out)

3) If you don't want to pay Sprint $30 extra a month you are going to have to root the EVO

3a) Use unrevoked3 (quick google search)

I would recommend doing it from a Mac just because it is easier, PC you have to install drivers.

3b) Once the EVO is rooted, install "Wireless Tether" from the Market (on the EVO)

4) Profit.

This is pretty much my setup and I love it. I have done other modifications to my A7 and my EVO, but nothing that would alter this.
[A7 General] FrankandRachel:
Help Please

Thank you so much for your reply, sincerely appreciate it. Be patient with me, new to this stuff. I downloaded the mod and tried to install, with no luck. It downloaded five different files, which one should be renamed to update or update.zip? Downloaded pda.net on the evo and on the laptop and it worked fine. Just wasn't sure what to download for the A7 to make it work. Thanks again and have a great day.

Frank
[A7 General] middle_road:
the file ElocityModv13.zip should be update.zip

Make sure Hide extensions for known file types is OFF in Windows.

I'm starting to suspect that the micro card reader in the A7 might just be finicky.

What size and type of Micro SDCard are you using?

Do me a favor and do a 'Properties' on the Dexter Mod file and post back what size is reported.

Try formatting the card this way: -=- LINK -=-

[A7 General] hudd333:
mod on SD Card

I think the ELocity only supports the micro SHDC cards not vanilla micro SD cards. Someone else in another thread had a problem with update.zip and it turned out it was on a vanilla micro SD card and when they used a micro SDHC card it worked.

Hi There,

I have tried several ROMS on my x10i..and for some reason, Everytime I take the subway (basickly go out of service for 10+more mins) my phones language goes Italian. The on top of that, I cant connect to any network (and when I do search for networks, Italian ones show up). The only way I can resolve the issue is if I wipe the rom serverl times or restore it to factory. After about 20 mins of being in service if I'm lucky it will kick back in.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshofbass:
I am going to buy a Desire HD in the next day or two in Beijing. Some of the sellers are saying things like 'I have the xx version so its a bit more expensive' and according to my research I've found that there may be:

Taiwan version

Mainland Version

Hongkong Version

European Version

Asia Pacific Version

So my question is... Does it make any difference. Ive heard claims of difference is signal quality which would mean different radio hardware of some kind.

The other claim I've heard is that there are quality control differences between market versions.

Anyone got anything real on this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
There are only 2 versions of the DHD. One is the version of Telus, and the normal version that any1 else has. The telus version has some problems with sound on some custom roms, but there are fixes for it.

However, there are some differences between the normal dhds also. There are 2 different screens (sharp and au optronics) and 2 types of touch panels (synaptics and atmel). The only difference is that sharps screen is slightly better, but you nearly wouldn't notice the difference between those two displays.

You can flash any custom rom on the normal dhd, doesn't matter which display and touchpanel you have

maybe there are some differences with the signal quality, but this is related to the software and not to the hardware.

Normally all versions should have the same good (or bad) quality. A friend of mine bought his DHD at the same store where I bought mine, his has a blurry camera and a bad sim cover ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshofbass:
I talked to a few sellers on taobao and the line they are all using is that you won't be able to get OTA updates if you have the european version and you live here in Asia. I told him that wasn't an issue for me and I bought a european version because they were selling it a few hundred RMB cheaper.

In the end I think its nothing more than a way to increase profit because based on the keyboard languages available I have an asia pacific version..
