So i left my phone on over night and plugged into the charger, took it off this morning and within 5 minutes the battery dropped 5 % and i had only sent 1 text message....(this is with the seidio battery)

i'd hate to think that even with the extended battery we have to turn the phone off to charge for it to fully charge the battery.... but it seems like its not the battery thats the problem, its the way the phone charges :-/
 
I am still waiting for my Incredible, but when it does arrive. I prefer to have a desktop cradle with extra battery charging slot. This will be the first phone I buy a cover for. As I did not buy insurance because I do not believe it is a good deal. Considering for the first time ever a made it over a year with a phone with not breaking it. I credit that to not working a construction job anymore. Because it appears talking on cell phone and texting while driving will be illegal. I will probably get a new bluetooth headset, since my old one does not hold a charge anymore (never used much anyway). Extra battery would be nice. Im hoping the GPS works alright and I will invest in a car dock and car charger. I am sure I have other things but my laptop is going to die. lol
 
Just got an email from Otterbox. There was no reassurance of a case being released, so now I am going to pre order from the site above.

I've had three or four I've put on various devices myself and I've hated it each time. This time I had Best Buy put it on and it's awesome. I only really notice the slight orange peel visual texture (I can't feel it) when I've got a light source reflecting off of it, not when I'm using it.
 
Pre-ordering is the best way to ruin any sort of return on a lot of sites.

Sometimes your return policy starts at the time of order. By the time you receive it, you'll be out of time.

I'm going to wait until Seidio has it available which will be another couple weeks.
 
Thats over 6 days of standby time. You mean to tell me you need more? How long do you want to go between charges? Is 3 weeks to a month enough for you? LOL honestly folks, common sense.

Common sense would say that if you even remotely use the phone (let alone get email or surf the web), that 6 days transforms into ~12-18 hours. That is barely enough to get through a business day.

Extended battery is a necessity. I am running on fumes by the time I get home.

I shut my phone off every night to charge over night. I have never charged any of my smartphones overnight without being powered down. I am not sure if that makes a difference, but I don't see nearly any of the battery issues mentioned. I don't use it as an alarm clock, so I don't need to have it on overnight.
 
Just my 2 cents. The merging of ALL the accessory related threads into one thread is a little confusing. I think it would have been better to maybe have one thread one batteries, one on car mounts, one on screen shields, etc and maybe a main accessories thread that points to them. Or better yet, an accessories sub-forum would probably be best. I guess its too late now.
 
I have heard that the crystal clear still reduces fingerprints a little over naked screen, have you noticed that at all? also how is the feel of the CC over naked screen? I use swype and really don't want more drag than the naked screen has.


Yes I would have to agree with this... also makes it a bit easier to wipe them off when they do come

Have you tried installing a battery app that shows you the voltage level being read from the battery? Then you'll know for sure if it is being charged up more while off.
 
I got my pouch last night, and all my friends love the look of it. I did take off the hardshell case I had on the phone before sticking it into the pouch though. I didn't want to stretch the sleeve too much. I think with a bit of pulling and stretching, I can probably get it to wrap around the case too...
 
Everyone don't worry give it a little time and the confusing part will work its way out.

Can I suggest making a separate Accessories sub-forum?

There's no way we can have a consistent, continuous conversation about numerous types of batteries, cases, screen protectors, car docks, desk docks, etc., in ONE THREAD. Just not gonna happen.

I agree. I made that suggestion 7 posts above. Just think how confusing it will be when people are talking about car docs, batteries and screen protectors at the same time
 
Got my Steinheil Crystal Clear protector today ... I have never actually had a screen protector on a phone before, because I never wanted what I have seen on others phones, they looked aweful.

I can now understand the rave reviews on these Steinheils, with it held up at an angle under a light it looks like a peice of glass .. you cannot tell its a protector its flat and clear and as shiny as it looked without the protector (who knows about long term scratches n such but initially its definitely glass like as far as looks)

I got zero dust under mine after install, its perfect as far as I can tell and I am looking at it like some sort of anal psycho :)

Finger drag is very minimal ... does it feel exactly the same as without it? No but its very close and only a slight drag which is really only noticible because I had been using it naked ... I do not expect to notice this in the slightest once I use it for more than the few minutes that I have had the protector on so far.

I swiped several times and held at an angle under a light, it does seem to definatly reduce the fingerprints alot better than the raw glass.

Very happy with this and glad I got it.

Easy install as well ... never put one on before but I did wet a small peice of paper towel with a small amount of windex to get it perfectly clean and right before install used the supplied micro fiber cloth, then used supplied squeegy (had my phone powered off during install)

Once powered on, again its as clear as it was without it, not a blur in sight, very nice.

Ah, see, I didn't see that post because there are so many freaking posts in this thread with topics that change every post.

And no, it's not too late.
 
Yeah, hang on a second sorry I will talk with some mods about this. I have been in constant conversation with them so do not think, im not trying to fix this. Sorry for it being so confusing please hang in with me everyone.

No probs. I agree something had to be done, let's find the optimal solution.
 
I think it should be put into sub forums, add another under "tips and tricks" and "trouble shooting", you are going to need this acc. catagory threaded or no one will be able to find items they are specifically looking for, way too many items for just one continous thread.
