Yoobao from Amazon

I bought a Yoobao 2200mAh battery from Amazon about a month ago (http://www.amazon.com/2200-Extended-Battery-Replacement-Cover/dp/B004JOLJDK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1300571465&sr=8-6). Battery life is DEFINATELY improved. I've done no truly scientific measurement of how much better the battery is, but I will say I can now use the phone how I see fit (with the exception of my email, which is not set to download automatically for various reasons) without worrying much about charging the battery every time I blink. It does indeed add extra weight, but nothing terrible.

Bottom line...even though the battery meter is no longer accurate, it doesn't matter. I don't have to charge the phone after playing a game and listening to music and surfing a bit. That in itself is worth the $24.99 that the battery cost.

The way the extended back cover feels is pretty nice. It gives it a kind of grip feel...but that grip stuff is also starting to peel from the corners, so the build quality of the new battery back isn't all that great.
[HD7 Accessories] JWhipple:
I'm glad to read this. I ordered one myself and it arrived today.
[HD7 Accessories] isoman4:
Nice!

Excellent! What do you think of it so far? Just like the oem battery, it takes a while to charge at first. Charging time will get better over time.
[HD7 Accessories] pinoypayter:
Hehe mine too just arrived today, I wonder if it can survive at least two days without charging =]

If you can get 2 days, you are the man!

Nothing negative yet. Only had it going for a month so far, though.
[HD7 Accessories] tuanlinh:
Can u give us your comment about the Yoobao battery 2200mhz for HD7 ? I am thinking about buying an extended batter because the original battery of HD7 is too bad.

I fully charged HD7 at 0h then unplugged and sleep, at 7:00 AM I woke up and the battery lost about 30% engergy, then at about 10:00 AM with few calls, it lost all its energy.

I don't know if anybody has the same battery like me ?
[HD7 Accessories] Linkinworm:
wow that thing is beastmode. i wish HTC would make official batteries that had more juice i can get 2 days on my hd7 with little use bit of texting some internet over wifi but no gaming or any intensive app use. but when i only get about 3-4 hours a day with an hour gaming or so its kinda crap that i have to take my charger everywhere with me
[HD7 Accessories] nalgrim:
Don't buy cheap extended off eBay mine didn't lat any longer than stock. I do like the back cover it does add grip to phone. my developer unlocked phone showsdame may as stock on the cheaper extended battery (3500mah) off ebay . Hong Kong. I do realize u get what u pay for. I still get a spare battery even tho it doesn't last any longer.

So listen to the other post buy name brand for the extended. IMO.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jsacp:
Hi folks!

First of all, thanks a lot for all the dev team and community for letting me enjoy at a 200% my hd2. I am currently a satisfied and happy WP7 user planning in getting a dual boot.

So... what concerns us here, is the problem that when connected to a headset, microphone stops working. i guess that is because the phone is unable to detect whether there is or not a microphone into the headset connected.

So the solution I am using is a standard (not even 5€ cost) blackberry/htc/.... headset cable which can de-attach the earphones.

I've attached the picture of the one I sell in my shop in Spain. Button working perfectly for voice-commands and you can connect any standard 3.5mm jack earphones.

Why bother? so... basically i have a 3.5mm jack in my car to connect my phone to it.... and only thing I hated was that noone could hear me in a call while driving.

One more happy customer from the xda community!

Cheers guys!

Jags

PD: waiting for a new rom from the wp7 community...... :'(

It is said that you have to hold the power button to load MAGLDR after resetting the phone, but when I reset the phone it automatically boots to MAGLDR, instead of WM 6.5. Can you guys tell me how to access WM 6.5 from MAGLDR?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SuicideFriday:
I forgot to mention that I always get this message before it boots to MAGLDR after resetting.

Rebooting Android from SD

Android loads at 11000000

Should I be concerned?

I haven't installed Android yet, but I'm in the process of installing Clockwork 1.3
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SuicideFriday:
I also tried to do a factory reset through MAGLDR, but it only goes back to the MAGLDR main screen. Help? Please?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Abagnale:
First of all, use the "edit post" button to add text to the first post instead of making two new ;)

Yesterday I got the exact same problem. Someone said that it is because the MAGLDR can't see the wrongly flashed ROM. However, I did not notice that it is something wrong with it.

What ROM do you have and which HSPL version ?

I had WinMo 1.46 stock and HSPL 2.08
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SuicideFriday:
my apologies.

stock? i'm using Radio 2.15 HSPL 2.08

did you correct your problem?

would it be safe to manually hard reset?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
You can't boot Windows Mobile 6.5 if you have MAGLDR installed. But there is simply way back - just run RUU with stock 1.48 ROM on your PC, while having your HD2 connected to PC (phone has to be in bootloader, that rainbow screen).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Abagnale:
I didn't correct my problem. I had to flash WinMo back from the SD card but the raven_raven's method is also possible.

So raven, why I can't boot into WinMo with MAGLDR? I've seen many people doing that by not keeping the power button pressed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
From what I know, it's impossible to boot into WM6.5 if you have MAGLDR on your device. Its purpose is to load Linux kernel, not WM ;).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Abagnale:
I'm kinda confused right now :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
If you flashed MAGLDR, why would you want to use WinMo? The main purpose of MAGLDR is to boot Android/WP7 on the NAND. It over-writes the WinMo you had on it before.

The error you're getting, you shouldn't be worried about it at all. All it is is that you haven't flashed a ROM yet. What do you mean you're in the process of flashing Clockwork? It's not hard... just flash the DFT file on your PC via the USB Flasher option and you'll have Clockwork. Then you install your .zip ROM, reboot and you won't get an error anymore as you'll have a ROM flashed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SuicideFriday:
Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated.

I can't access the USB Flasher. When I connect my phone to my PC, my SD card doesn't show up, instead, its recognized as an "unspecified" MAGLDR driver. I can't do anything with that.

But I can access my SD card through USB Mass Storage, but I don't want to install DFT on Mass Storage when I'm told to use USB Flasher. I don't want to do anything stupid
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SuicideFriday:
yea i'm confused as hell. i'm seriously considering going back to 6.5, i didn't know the process was this frustrating.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wolfpack612:
the usb flasher option is not to mount your sd card, it is just used to flash files/roms via daf.exe. use the usb flasher to install clockworkmod1.3, once that is done boot back into magldr and go to ad recovery, and recovery should start. from there you can mount as usb mass storage. i belive the one in magldr doesn't work very well, or at all for some, the one in clockwork always seems to work well for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Optimus-Prime:
guys its simple your not supposed to use MAGLDR if your going ot go back WM6.5.

tunr your phone off. hold the volume down button and press the power button, do not let go of the volume button, its going to bring you a tri colored screen. once your in that screen plug in your USB cable to the phone and to your computer. once that is doen flash a official WM6.5 rom let it do what it does,its going to restart and there you go back on WM6.5
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jigners:
there is no way you can boot Win 6.5 if you got MAGLDR, never seen it here

(unless someone shows a video or something)

the only way that can be achieved is to go into bootloader (tricolor screen)

and flash Win 6.5:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SuicideFriday:
I thought MAGLDR was for dualbooting. I wanted to go back to 6.5 in case I ran into any problems with the android builds Nontheless, I successfully installed Cyanogenmod, and it works perfectly. I dont think i'll be going back to 6.5.

Thanks for the help, it was greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kinga33:
Hold volume down and power button when turning the phone on, it will get you into tree color screen...then plug your phone into pc .....on the of run rom installer for win 6.5 and after it is done you should be able to boot into win 6.5.

Hi guys!

I have the same problem.

my question is if I the official ROM is it going to erase/format the old one that I had?

The reason is that I did not backup everything and it would be nice if I could go back and get the rest of my contacts...

Is there any way of having a dual boot

BEWARE: complete noob!!!:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Are you honestly incapable of reading? What kind of complete MORON flashes something to their phone without a full knowledge of exactly what it will do?! If you install WinMo again you will have lost all of your data that is on the internal storage of your phone, and to be honest you deserve it if you are stupid enough to flash something without reading about what it does. :confused:

On a more positive note, you can flash NAND Android instead of reflashing WinMo if you want, using this guide. Since you would go ahead and flash this without reading up about it, I should probably warn you that IT WILL DELETE WINMO FROM YOUR PHONE! Is that clear enough for you? :rolleyes:

@ redplate

don't worry I am use to behaviour like these... usually they come from people that I don't really pay attention in RL

I have my important contacts backed up (just not all of them...as mentioned before) and I was just wondering if there was a way to access through cable or any other means to retreive the odd ones

anyway am wondering if there is a way?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tleaf100:
er,why not load 6.5 back to phone and run android from off SD ?

gives you winmo and android,why are you all so stuck into nand rooms ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
NAND Android is better than SD Android (I had the same point of view as you until I flashed Typhoon, and I would never go back to WinMo) and he isn't asking how to flash back but how to retrieve his contacts, which unless he had backed up with another account he cannot do, purely because he was too stupid to read up on what he was flashing before flashing it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Woodchuckk:
MAGLDR's to blame more than skilimavro

I would like to totally disagree with the above statement... Not only is it name-calling, but also I would say it is much more the software's fault of not warning about deleting WM than skilimavro's. I would say that good software is intelligent enough to warn the user of such consequences so he doesn't have to take care of it by himself.

I had the same situation except I am starting to use my HD2 so I don't have a big problem with my data erased cause I don't have any important data on my smartphone.

Yesterday in just a couple of hours I installed and started using for the first time HSPL, the Artemis ROM, learning to use the Manila interface, using any smartphone for the first time, updating the radio and much more and only with MAGLDR I had a problem of it doing something that I didn't want. Not to say in the meantime I was on Facebook and doing many other things. If I was to read documentation for each ROM and each piece of software it would take me much more time which I don't have cause I am in the middle of two important business trips.

I don't want to say that MAGLDR is bad software. It is great but in the next version there should be a warning about it not letting you boot WM if installed since this misunderstanding happened at least to 2 users if not more.

After writing this post I found the following article that (which as I assume falsely) states that MAGLDR can boot WM, so even reading about if we read about it more we could have made the same mistake...

PS: Does anyone know how to dual boot WM and MAGLDR so I can use both in exchange?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Not sure if trolling or simply retarded. Installing software (from a trusted source) and FLASHING SOMETHING WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE are two entirely different things. If you're too stupid to figure that out, then you deserve to brick your phone and should buy an iPhone instead. And at that PS of yours, I honestly don't know how stupid people are able to get.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JayG:
First of all... WOW!! Some harsh people.

Second, I am technically astute. I have and have had my phone patched since the day I unpacked it in Jan. 2011. I read through the forums many times INCLUDING the link provided in here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044830 and I just did what this person did. The explanation are NOT very clear no matter how many times you read through something.

Nowhere did I see anything about Magldr killing a phone. I am a backup fanatic so I did have a full backup so reverting back to WinMo then restoring brought me right back.

Now, my question, because there are references and steps that either do not match or I cannot find them, is how do I get Android on my phone?

Specifically, after reading and research, I was interested in trying this;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126053

and this;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204142

Nowhere can I find or figure out what needs to be done with the Clockwork Mod and how. As well the references to DAF.exe. In 3 Android NAND I downloaded, including the two mentioned above, I do not see DAF.exe. I have it but if you run it, it cannot be pointed to a location nor does it find anything even if running it from inside the folder with the Android Build. Also, one references AROMA which again is completely unclear.

???

So, as thorough as tutorials may seem, they are not and I am comfortable with this type of stuff, and usually figure it out. Rarely do I ask for help but when I do, it's usually because it is either really convoluted, or I don't want to make a mistake, particularly in this case where I could brick the device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
If you have not yet installed Magldr make sure you do that first!​

Today, DAF.EXE has 2 primary purposes. That is not to say it could not do other things but they are generally not done now.

Purpose 1 is to help you partition your NAND memory. Most roms tell you to have certain size partitions for cache, recovery, system, data, etc. The file system to be used for each is also defined here. This is in a file called FLASH.CFG which you will find on your PC in the same folder you unzipped DAF.EXE into. This file should not be edited with Notepad. You should use a unix like editor such as Notepad++.

The second purpose is to flash recovery software. Looking in the cfg file you will note a file name that ends in img - that line specifies the recovery partition size and the name of the image file to flash. This is not your rom.

Because the included image is often old (usually Clockwork recovery v3) it is smaller in size than newer recovery programs. In order to avoid doing this again later I would suggest changing the recovery line by replacing the word filesize with 7 or more mb. The img file name also needs to match the file you wish to use if you get a newer one to try.

Here is an example of a modified cfg file:

flash.cfg - 134 bytes

Place the HD2 into the tricolor bootloader, connect the usb cable and run daf.exe on your PC.

Once you have completed this you can launch the recovery program through magldr option 8 (since you mentioned daf.exe I am assuming you are using Magldr and not cLK). This is where and how you will flash a rom.

Most roms today assume you already have a recovery installed and do not provide an image to flash.

Lastly, Aroma, if used is part of the rom zip file you flash via recovery. No need to worry about it now. Think of it like a Windows installer: it shows up, asks some questions, does some stuff and disappears. :p

Most tutorials were written in the early days of putting Android on a Windows phone. The process has improved but many tutorials remain unchanged.

If you have Magldr or cLK installed it is pretty unlikely this process would brick your device. It will wipe it clean and, if you do it wrong (or specify the wrong partitions for the rom you want to try) it will not work - you will get bootloops or worse and will have to start over. Damaging magldr once installed is not easy.

This barely scratches the surface so I do recommend lots more reading...

I’m as confused as a baby in a topless bar...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
just a note for clarity, , the magldr install folder has a daf.exe in it, , this IS NOT the same folder where flash.cfg is found, nor is it the daf.exe that is mentioned when reading instructions about partitioning/installing cwm.

The daf.exe and flash.cfg that are mentioned above can be found in the folder you extracted CWM into.

For simplicity, use the nand toolkit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
You are right, of course. Do you know how long since I flashed Magldr? Seems like another life running Dutty's WinMo roms! :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androf:
I know I m a noob :p

jkoljo was very kind and explained to me here that S-ON or S-OFF is some kind of a flag that we set to enable or disable the ability to write on the internal memory of the device

but what about radio and ENG? what are they?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
I might as well answer this one :D

Radio is a piece of firmware, it is basically software for your device's telecommunications chip. It controls wifi, calls, bluetooth etc. Radios are different, and some of them have better battery life and signal quality than others. All of them have been released by HTC, we cannot make them ourselves.

ENG means engineering. We have ENG S-OFF for Desire HD, that is an engineering bootloader that has additional functionality. It allows your device to receive fastboot commands, so that you can flash a radio and other more exotic stuff. The bootloader has also been modified in a binary level so that it gives you S-OFF.

Something about different S-OFFs: When the bootloader is running, it asks radio whether we are S-ON or S-OFF. Radio reads the @secuflag, and returns the value. Then the bootloader sets security level accordingly.

In radio S-OFF, we modify that @secuflag. In ENG S-OFF, the bootloader does not actually ask anything (because it has been modified), and it gets a default answer, S-OFF. Radio S-OFF is a more permanent solution, and also safer because it does not involve writing your device's bootloader again. You can compare getting ENG S-OFF to flashing a BIOS into a PC.
