Im still in the process of choosing between the dash and the curve 8320 for tmobile...and so far im leaning more towards the dash but i see so many complaints about how windows mobile crashes like 5 times a day and its so slow that its worth getting another phone over
so ive decided to take a poll from the users to help me decide
Also ive seen lots of previous owners of the dash complaining about how the Screen broke VERY easily...are they just haters or is this true...? and how much do spare screens cost?
My opinion:
My Windows never crash - NEVER. I make everyting to crash it - Install unofficial ROMS every week, install many many programs, games, etc, edit registry to find what key for what is, end so on .
Good display
Good Radio
Good Wi-Fi
When you hit the phone to wall or to floor its normal to crash .
First problem is the battery - 2 days battery life with normal usage of wi-fi(20-30 min per day), gaming (15-20 min per day) and talking (20-30 min per day). If you use wi-fi more often, the battery will be uncharged very soon.
My phone is new but some guys here tells that the battery life become dramaticaly short after 8-9 mounths of usage - something like 6-7hours. But when this happen you just buy another battery fo 15 bugs - end of story.
Second problem is audio jack. If you don't have headset for mini USB jack, you must buy adapter for 3.5mm audio jack - someting like 10-15 bugs
Mine never "crashed" either.
The only thing that happened to me was installing some software locked it up and I had to hard reset.
If you like to tinker, and are a geek, and like lots of software, get the Dash.
If you are a pencil pusher, get the Curve.
Whatever you do, DON'T get the Shadow. You have never seen bad battery life
until you get that phone.
I have heard people talk bad about the dash. I have had my dash for about a year and a half. I just replaced the battery because it had gotten to the point where it was useless, but after reading more about battery life of the battery this was as expected. I got a desk charger for 12 and a second battery and now I have two batteries for use and I can do pretty much anything I want. As far as crashing my dash has only had to be hard reset once for a real problem and other than that it was by choice. The one time it was hard reset it was my fault as well. It hung in a reboot loop after installing some flaky software. If you want a phone that just works get the dash and get an extra battery.

i had the curve 8320 and honestly its a smooth running os but it is soooo boring plus sude for the curve it is way lighter han dash but dash is so customizable any winmo phone nut my preference is dash have had mine for ove a year and a half and loving it
Mine used to lock up once in a while when I was on WM5, but it's never crashed (other than some battery related shutdowns before I replaced it) since I upgraded to WM6 and then WM6.1. With 6.1 I haven't had to reboot it once yet.

Try puting your battery in the freezer..... of course it wouldn't do you any good in there now would it?
Battery info
This is by far the best article on battery life I have found...that doesn't make it great just a good article:
http://batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
As far as Batteries how much:
http://www.cellphoneshop.net
I got two batteries and a desk charger sent to me by fed ex in 24 hours or so for 43 dollars. Desk Charger was 6 dollars shipping was the big item at 17.00, but I didn't have to use fed ex. The two batteries are 12.99. I did this last week and the stuff was sent to me via fed ex. I placed the order it shipped first thing the next morning and i had it about mid day on the third day. It came from Hong Kong.

I see a lot of people constantly talking about battery life on here and how they are disappointed by what they are seeing from ROMs, kernels, or the OTA release.
I'm interested to see exactly what sort of expectations people have on the lifetime of their phone.
I've been fairly cognizant of my phone's power consumption and have done a lot to ensure I understand how I use it and what effect that has on its life between charges.
I understand that a first generation phone with the largest screen, the fastest processor available, the most processor intensive camera, with animated wallpapers, synchronization to various web services, flash, and borderline experimental next-generation wireless connectivity that can tether to multiple devices. To have all that on a unit marginally larger than my old Palm Pre and roughly the same battery size (1150mAh stock) is going to come with some compromises.
I tend to overclock, ROM flash, and beat the snot out of my phone on a regular basis. Therefore, I have a super gigantic Seidio battery that I absolutely adore. I found that even before that, I was able to get my battery life under control if I controlled my phone properly, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Did some people just get bad phones? Are some people just being unrealistic with their expectations? What goals do you think people should be setting for the lifetime of their phone between charges?
Its an honest question.
I used to get almost a week out of an old motorola flip style phone (v500 something).
Everything since then has been downhill.
I'm not under the false impression that these new phones are going to last as long as the older "dumb" phones, BUT.....Id like to be able to get through the day without charging my phone. I keep my screen about 40% brightness, I'm usually in an area with good reception, I only sync my Gmail, I've calibrated my battery, etc. The only real USE my phone gets is texting. I unplug my phone at 5am and its more than half gone by noon. Not real great IMO.
I think this will provide valuable insight as to expectations for this phone. Personally I have used smartphones since I can remember and I was bread to expect a nightly charge.
It may be unacceptable to some that we have to "mod" our phones to get reasonable battery life, but I really dont have too many complaints. Out of the box, the EVO is running a 1gz processor and powering a 4.3" display. Not to mention if you're running wifi and various apps. I think some people are just expecting too much from these phones. Look at laptops. When my dell was brand new, I could get 2-3 hours of steady use before it conked out. The battery life our phones are getting, modded or stock, isnt really that bad. If you're unwilling to do some research and easy mods or buy a spare $20 OEM battery off eBay please dont complain about it.

A nightly charge is acceptable. It's when you have to charge 2-3 times a day from moderate usage that is a little out of hand... Understandable that with heavier usage, more frequent charges would be needed.

I want to power a small village from my phone please
I want my phone to last a day. And call a typical day something like:
- l/2-1 hour talk
- 12-24 text messages
- 45 minutes - 2 hours web browsing
- 2 hours music
My iPhone 3GS would do this without a problem, my wife's iPhone 4 might do 2 days like this. The EVO just barely does this.
But.. I prefer the EVO for enough reasons I just dropped $10 for 2 extra batteries and a phone-less charger on ebay, and keep chargers in the car and at my desk, and get it plugged in for like 30 minutes somewhere during the day. I rarely use the backup batteries, but it is nice to have them.
Totally worth it for a bigger screen, 4G, more open OS.

This definitely sounds doable. If you aren't getting that out of your phone, I'd reccomend calling support. I'm going to assume your dedication has already lead you down your own troubleshooting path.
My standard was set with my BlackBerry: less than 5% discharge rate per hour under normal use, and I am happy.

Quick story that may help some other people:
I bought my Verizon Galaxy Nexus used on Craigslist. It was a good deal. Right away I bought the extended OEM battery as well as the Seidio extended battery. The first thing I noticed was that battery drain was unusually fast. I'm no noob to Android phones, and a few of my prior phones had bad reps for battery life (HTC Incredible, Samsung Nexus S, HTC Thunderbolt), but this was something special. For the first time in my life I felt the need to use Juice Defender, and that was only marginally helpful.
I never minded with the other phones because I would use the largest battery available, charge on my 40 min commute to work, charge on the commute home, and everything would be fine. The problem with the Galaxy Nexus is that not only would it drain fast. It would take unusually long to charge, espcially when using during a charge.
The next thing I noticed was that the phone was getting very hot, especially in the top left corner, even when it wasn't doing much. Turning off LTE seemed to help but not much. After a couple months of use, trying ROM after ROM, kernel after kernel, reverting to stock, etc, things took a turn for the worse. I would go to sleep with a pretty good charge and wake up the next morning with a dead battery. Sometimes the battery was so dead it wouldn't even take a charge.
I called Samsung, and they were very responsive. Even though I wasn't the original owner and had no proof of purchase, they paid shipping both ways and had my phone repaired and back in my hands within a week. The paperwork that came with the repaired phone just said that a "component" had been "replaced". I called and asked them which component was replaced, but they couldn't give me any more details than that.
My repaired phone gets warm sometimes, even very warm, but I haven't noticed that hot upper left corner. Meanwhile, the battery life is night and day better than it has ever been. I can get through the day fine with the Samsung OEM extended battery, and the Seidio lasts damn long like it should but never did. The batteries now charge much faster as well. I can finally enjoy this phone like it's supposed to be enjoyed, and I have no more thoughts about upgrading some time soon.
Maybe Samsung just has amazing customer service, but the speed with which they handled this as a warranty repair makes me wonder if this is a known issue on their end. In Googling for a solution to my problems, I came across other reports of people who found their battery suddenly dead, unable to take a charge.
Here's my advice: If your battery life is atrocious - and I mean atrocious even with the screen pretty dim, no accounts syncing, LTE disabled, factory stock with no apps installed...
and you find your Galaxy Nexus taking a long time to charge (using the OEM charging cable)...
and your G-Nex gets super hot in the upper left corner even when it isn't doing anything...
then try sending it in for a warranty repair. The phone I bought on Craigslist was defective, and after struggling with it for months, all it took was a one week repair and I'm 100% content. It's a completely different phone.
:good: glad you got it fixed
I've had the exact same issue recently, phone would get extremely hot especially with the screen on. Never had it not charge, but it would never stay at 100% very long while charging. Screen on time was pathetic and usually not much more than about 30 minutes.
Today, I decided on a whim to completely drain off my battery, phone wouldn't even turn on when I was done. Recharged to full with it off and it's running cool as a cucumber. 7.5 hours since I took it off charge and an hour of screen on with a bit of streaming over LTE and I'm still at 53% battery (whether that's good or not is questionable, but it's a massive improvement for me.)
Am I positive that's what fixed my phone? No, not at all. If it starts acting up again I'll probably talk to Sammy about a replacement, but for now I'm happy.

that's kinda bit questionable still. just an hour of screen time and almost half of battery means there's still a huge space for improvement
Almost half of that was streaming on LTE and in general being an attempt at eating battery and causing the heat issue to come back. Coupled with the fact that I live in the boonies and my signal is never stellar, I'm fairly happy with the time.

Good to know
Totally different outcome for me...
I had the exact same issue; slow charging, horrible battery life (even after a new battery and a factory reset). After two weeks without my phone, today I got it back. Not only did I get the same phone back (based on the serial number) I got the *same battery* back. This was also the result of a "replaced component" (which no one could tell me what it was).
edit: I should add, I bought this phone new from Google directly. It worked great from May until September when this problem suddenly started happening. Prior to September, I could easily get 2 days out of a charge with my typical usage. After it broke, I was lucky to get 8 hours, even while the phone was ~80% idle. You can see in the screen shot that the phone was burning around 8.8% an hour even while completely idle. I mentioned all this to the person who created the service request, but obviously that didn't make a difference.

I'm so disappointed, but I'm not even sure where to start. I will not go without my phone for another two weeks. I'm going to call tomorrow and see what they'll do, but for now I'm more than a little pissed off.
I'm on my third GN and they've all had this problem I replaced the first 2 directly from Sprint. Pretty fed up with the phone. Friends of mine have this phone and don't have any issues at all... what are the odds that I were to get 3 defective phones in a row?
I'd consider going through Samsung for warranty, but I can't go without a phone for up to 2 weeks.
Sorry you two have had such a bad experience. My replacement Nexus continues to be terrific. While my Nexus was in the shop, I used my old phone (Thunderbolt) and enjoyed the change during that time.

I too never used a car charger, I don't even own one.
phone number?
I too am having problems with my galaxy nexus, its burning threw battery almost one or two percent every 2 minutes, even while phone is on idle, is there a number for Samsung you can provide that I can call to see if I can fix this problem?
I think the batter is the weak link in this phone. Actually, I think it was that in my Note 4 too. After a good year, my phone started bootlooping and it was the battery's fault. I am not too confident in Samsung's batterys, not because of explosions but because they seem to be not the best. The problem is, if we want to change Note 7's battery, it will have to be done at the service center. So I'd like to keep the battery in good condition for as long as possible.
I have read it is best to avoid fast charging. I also read it is best to keep the charge between 40-80% and not let it charge over night. And to only let it drain to 0 and charge to 100 once a month to recalibrate it.
Do you guys think these are good tips for the Note 7?
I also read that first time I should have let it chargefor 5 hours, which I didn't first mistake there? Thanks everyone.

From what I have researched from chemical engineers who design batteries etc the best thing to do is not allow the battery to discharge below 20% and not charge it over 90%. Fast charging apparently does shorten battery life but all charging methods shorten battery life. All about heat, so they say? In 'normal use', whatever that is, a typical mobile battery could last years?
In thinking about this I have owned since the early 80's maybe over 100 mobile phones and 100 other mobile devices and have never replaced a battery yet? I have friends and family still using some of my hand me downs and they are still going strong.
Appears a very hit and miss science?
Ryland
I am pretty sure I count as a normal user. I also don't think I exposed the Note 4 to too much heat or did terribly stupid things with the battery. Did I just get a bad one, maybe.
It sounds to me that you've been paying too much attention to the battery, stop worrying and you'll enjoy the phone even more.
never let the batt go to 0%, charge max at 90%, thats all you can do, and, dont worry too much, enjoy your note 7
This is off of Samsung site...
Cell phones, originally used for little more than calls and text messages, have evolved into all-in-one entertainment devices. Your smartphone plays videos, music and games, and many include lightning-fast Web browsing and a robust app library. Use these features for more than a few hours, though, and your phone's battery charge may not last longer than a day. You can coax more life out of your phone by charging the battery correctly and tweaking a few power-hungry settings.
Charge Regularly
To get the most out of your smartphone's battery, you'll need to charge it properly. Most smartphones have a lithium-ion battery that lives longer when charged regularly. Unlike the nickel batteries used in older phones, lithium-ion batteries do best when kept above a 50 percent charge. Repeatedly allowing the battery to drain fully may shorten its life and decrease its overall capacity. If this happens, you'll need to charge the battery more frequently and it may last only a few hours before needing a charge, for example.
Your battery will also perform better if you don't let it charge to 100 percent, so take it off the charger at about 80 to 90 percent capacity. Leaving the phone connected to the charger when the phone is completely charged may lower battery life if you do it repeatedly.

I've researched this and tested it for myself not saying this is the answer. I use to go 100 to zero with note 3 trying to see how far I could go screen on time. Biggest mistake I've read from Samsung and makers of lith batteries to not let it go below 60 amd it's ok to top it off as often as possible. Leaving on charger doesn't effect them due to them never fully charging they trickle charge my wife does this every night with note 4 no issues same battery for a year. You get 500 cycles of charge if you deplete 100 to zero it makes the battery unstable when hitting zero lith don't like it. You get 2500 cycles if you do the 75 to 100. I've topped off my note 7 every day lowest going to 60. I play music for 3 hours walking outside only lose 2 percent of battery. Using hotspot I lose 5 percent in a few hours all been the same the way i charge. I had 2 other note 7s I did the opposite. In a week I would lose 20 40 percent battery with hotspot music not as good either. Learn the mechanics other the battery how they work wiki it. Look at the science not opinions or articles. That helped me in the long run. I keep a Poweradd Apollo with me just in case.

Have you read the replies here?
No device can go forever without an eventual battery change. As I said I have owned hundreds of mobile devices spanning FOUR DECADES and have never replaced a battery.
How did you arrive at a 10 month replacement figure?
Ryland
Yes, mostly they don't agree with you . And ten month figure from my experience with Note 4. At 10 months it started being weak, then after a few more months, bootlooping started and it was just because of battery. I love Notes but just don't think they have good batteris to begin with.

If you have a doubt regarding a mobile don't buy it especially an uber one like the Note 7 etc. If you are very concerned about battery and its going to cause you worry go for a brand with removable battery. No one can asses how you use your phone and how long the battery will live.
Sounds like you had a bad experience with your previous mobile and that has caused you some anxiety. All one can do is relate our experiences to you and hope you can make a judgement call based on others opinions?
I have zero reason to suspect the battery life of the Note 7 to be any weaker than my previous mobile devices. Only time will tell. The battery on my crystal ball needs charging.
I wish you well.

I want to know ...
Note 7 supports Quick Charge 3.0 or 2.0 or ....
Now that the 10 has been out for almost 1.5 years, I know some of us have been using the phone since it first came out. With battery degradation in mind, I expect most of us have lost approximately 20% of our battery capacity.
Has anyone here successfully replaced their battery, and if so, have you noticed an actual increase in battery life?
I am curious if anyone has done this as well. My battery has degraded to the point where I can only manage 2 1/2 hours of SoT on latest LeeDroid. I am trying to hold on to the 10 till the Pixel 2 comes out, so if anyone had a battery replacement can chime in here and help us.

I really enjoy taking apart electronics and fixing them; so spending 1-2 hours taking apart the HTC 10 would not bother me at all
Because of the current state of my battery life, I occasionally have it discharged down to 0% battery just because it cannot do more than 2.5 Hrs SOT. It used to do about 3.5 and sometimes 4 by the end of the day. Would you say this recalibration technique has significantly helped your battery/SOT?

I am with you mate, I also average about 2.5 SOT at the end of day. I remember getting 3.5Hrs. I used to finish my day with about 30-40% battery life on an average day; Now I finish somewhere closer to 10-15%.
Same for me.
Don't know if Battery is dying or music apps are the pain.
Anyway I am interested in reports about replacing the battery by users here.
Some YouTube guys made it, but it looks a little bit complicated but not impossible.
Also I have a few questions about the replacement parts used.
I read many times, you should get a new display for replacing the battery, just in case.
But I would like not to do that until I really need it.
But...
After opening the phone, is the glue for fixing the display etc damaged? How can I close my phone properly again?
New display are coming with new glue for fixing it, but if I don't need a new one, I would prefer not tu use the new glue, no matter if I really purchased a new Display.
Hoping someone can give a little comment about replacing battery... Don't need to be a how to, but a commentary.
It's the battery.
Replaced it after 15 months of solid use. Don't know why. One reason (or so I've read) is because I so often kept it plugged it/charging while using it, but never letting it discharge entirely. But who knows?
