If this is true, sweet. I know that this doesn't replace the OEM battery but instead will plug into the USB Port instead. Or atleast I think. I know the mophey juice packs for iPhone work this way because its to hard to replace the battery and omg did it do wonders for that phone.

That's a sweet idea hopefully it doesn't interfere with the GPS like "thicker" batteries did on other devices.

It probably will in all honesty, but the great thing about it is, with this using the USB port to attach with, it will mean that removal will not cause your phone to shut off. If I remember correctly the EVO extended battery replaces the OEM battery and it hurt the GPS. So if you want to use GPS and the battery kills ur signal, pop it off and put it back on when you get there

This looks pretty sweet...

I will buy one when They are out. Since i dont use gps that much just calls games apps email and work this case and battery extender would really come in handy.

Couldn't agree more! If GPS is needed like mentioned above you can take off the case without it killing the phone! Can't wait for this to come out!

I havent been able to get more info on this case i know its not out yet and i did sign up to get and email when it comes out, and also for doing that i will get a discount on it. Dont know how much but anything is better than nothing.

Maybe it'll come out this month. They said they're releasing new products every month.

I'd love to have something like this to help my phone last throughout the day.

I emailed Power Skin and this is the response I got:
The HTC Inspire 4G is scheduled to be released in early June. Be sure to complete our mailing list so that you will be one of the first notified. Thank you for your interest in PowerSkin.
Charge On!

Hm, according to the website they will "personally email you with a nice discount code when a case becomes available (if it is not currently)". Thats worth getting their spam for a month!

I want it. Right now. Please.

I can not wait this should really help with battery life.

Sheesh, it's going to be almost double the thickness...?
I'm having reservations of getting this now...

Its going to be like carrying around a small netbook in my pocket.

[Q] now the gingerbread is out whats next?

ok guys just what we been waiting for gb....
to bad it doesn't have more stuff i was really hoping for power control on the notification...
and i have a few questions..
can i root with superoneclick or easy root with mac?
now the gb is out i know the devs are gonna get to work on it.

for those that updated have you notice there is no camera app?????

there is a camera app, just that it's stock rather than lg's.

no really the stock camera app is missing its not there. i did a factory reset and still is not there.. would have to use another app from the market

that's weird. it's there for me. i did a hard reset after i flashed...

ok well i was thinking about that but like i cant root after the update i didnt wanted to lose all my apps from titanium backup lol

Aw man we don't have that cool animation when you lock the phone

The CRT screen on/off effect? Probably can enable it like we did pre-CM7 building it in.

Whats next? Lots of whining until Ice Cream is released.
I really hope GB and new drivers fix the issues people are having.

I'm stoked for this. Now our custom ROMs can be optimized using proper drivers and what not. This should help development a **** ton.

It's the same Kernel as the Froyo Kernel, can't be the final release, if it is I'm done with my G2X and will be moving to the Sensation. This release doesn't even have the LG camera how can it be the final build?

Its an update isn't that what everyone wanted, now we know that were making progress, that LG hasn't completely abandoned us, and now all custom roms are gonna be that much better, this is a great day for all g2x users everywhere, and it has only just begun.

I don't really care about the GB update. I already have that running the CM nightlies. I want a stable and working phone. One I can depend on to make calls day in and day out. One that gets the same battery life day in and day out. I want the LG drivers to make everything function properly. Mad props to the CM guys for doing what LG has failed to do so far, but now it is time for LG to deliver a REAL working, bug free update so we can experience the phone we are supposed to have.

should I switch my g2x out for a mytouch 4g slide?

I've been wondering if I should switch my g2x out for a mytouch 4g slide. I like the g2x but its been causing problems ... not to mention the horrible battery life
Ive always liked the mytouch brand and I believe the new slide is dual 1.2ghz Processer.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

If you like the mytouch better then yes you should switch. Why keep a phone if you don't want it?
G2X CM7

I don't really think there's a reason to have a physical keyboard anymore unless your a female with long nails. A keyboard just adds more bulk to the phone. In the end, your going to have to figure out which phone suites your needs better.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

It's not that I don't want the g2x. Its just too many problems you know? And an actual keyboard comes in handy sometimes. I'll do come more research on it, I don't thing the new slide is that thick. I could be wrong.
What I really want is my iPhone 4 back.. I was usingg it for almost a year and then it took a dive in the lake.. now it boots up to the iTunes logo if I have it plugged in but then halfway through a restore, I know its not totally fried cuz then it wouldn't even turn on.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I like the Slide better than the G2x. In fact, now I like most phones more than it. I haven't noticed *too much* that I lost .3 inches of screen. I can't say that i would like it more if LG actually released a proper update though.

That screen looks alot smaller than just 0.3. I don't think I could never go lower than 4"

If the screen is the same as the mytouch 4g then it isn't a big problem for me. Besides I heard it has a pretty good resolution as well
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Traded a nib g2x for a myt4g slide, its the wifes. I still have my g2x.
Camera goes slide easy
Screen on g2x looks and feels much bigger
Battery is tie. I've never had bad battery on any android I've had
Its not thick for having a keyboard
Sense sucks
G2x blows doors off the slide at this point
No perm root
Hate physical buttons
Speakers are same as g2x.
G2x looks better
Meh, your choice op but id keep the g2x. Get a hardware bug free one, slap cm7 on there and be happy..

You should just wait for the Hercules

Yea dude that phone looks sick, that's definitely my next, hopefully September!!! And to the op I say if u ain't happy with your g2x screw it get the mytouch slide it is a nice phone, but me I would keep g2x, now it would be a different story if the Hercules was out

I thought about it until I read how crappy the screen is. Instant no no.

I don't know. Each blog I've read states something different but now that the device is close to being released, none of them are speculating. Everything spec wise is just a rumor at this point. I asked my step father who sometimes knows these things but he didn't know. He said he would ask someone who might though. He did tell me that Samsung would be releasing the phone on every carrier on the same day or atleast that's what they want to do.
In my opinion, I think every GSII variant in the US will have the Exynos CPU. I would think they want each region to have the same CPU.
The battery cover on that Hercules looms like its brushed metal.

Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using XDA Premium App

My first android phone was a MT4G. I didn't root it for 6 months. I got really used to expresso. Then when I rooted I went VU and loved it. I tried CM7 and I just didn't dig it. Moved to the Slide on a alternate exchange. The doubleshot ROM is pretty OK. Crackin DS is just that much better (running Roman's kernel and actually quite stable). Maybe I should give Senseless a chance...

You should, its pretty much sense with ADW launcher (cm7 launcher), with all the needed sense features such as dialer, contacts, camera, etc. So you get the best of CM7 in a way and the best of Sense. I highly recommend it to you. Use the stock kernel with it though.

Just wait for my update.

Boosting post count.. lol. I tried your update and it works great! I was attempting to leave some feed back there but since I'm new I wasn't able to. It seems like the FC option comes from the "Facebook for HTC Sense" when it tries to sync the calendar. At least this happens for me.
Other than that so far this update is great. I'll keep poking around to see if anything else becomes an issue, although I doubt it seems perfect.

I'm odd. What I do now is if I need sense I restore my last nandroid sense on crack. If I want to use my daily driver agent orange I use my other.
I don't like senseless, hehe. But I like one extreme or another. My term for senseless is jack of all trades professional at none lol.

Also I just remembered that Kraver said he compiled his version from the source code, so doesn't that mean that that there is an ICS kernel for the sgs4g floating around out there? Granted an untested kernel, but an ICS kernel none the less. I am obviously not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, Granted I don't even know if that info will actually help you at this point, but it was something I just remembered when you said that you where trying to use a GB kernel. Either way we have faith in you if these guys can do it so can you!!!
