4 day battery!? LOL - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

I loaned my sidekick to a friend of mine while I was fixing his. When I was done and got the sidekick back I placed it in my laptop bag and forgot about it. Found it today and it was still on all beast mode like with 70% battery.

It also looks like you have no sim installed in it so yea with the phone never looking for a signal I'm not surpised it stayed on a decent charge sitting idle.

Battery hot on 4g

Hey peeps... I usually use my WiFi when I'm home and mostly I've been using WiFi for the past two days.. I noticed that when I first got the phone, it was already on 4g and that's when I noticed it was really hot in the back... After turning 4g off and using edge and WiFi, it never got hot really... Now I noticed I'm using 4g and its blazing hot... Had to turn it off again. This May have to go back to the store. I paid 648 and I'm wondering of I really pushed it..... Can ya'll put ya'll phones on 4g and play around with it and let me know how yallz turn out?

I would just wait. give the phone a few days. my g2 would get so hot i dropped it once.. and it was UC'd. The battery will adapt hopefully. if not a system update SHOULD fix the problem.

So hot you can cook on it..... i'm kidding, but it is scary thou
same here, battery gets really hot regardless of 4G on/off. But it does get especially hot when I put it in my pocket, or when I get to places where coverage sucks, the signal just craps out on me.
So I wonder are we all going to ignore this because we like the phone so much...... If it continues, I think ya'll should find the courage to return it. It's not fare to consumers if they didn't test it good enough to know about heating issues.
Many sensation fanboys or girls will get angry cause I'm saying this but its just being honest. I loooove the phone.. it's just a hot plate and laggy at times... For almost 700 dollars? Smh

Give it some time. Mine showed some early heating but since using it a ton the past few days no heat. I wanted to discharge the battery completely last night so I watched Jackie Brown on Netflix. Streamed via 4g for two hours with Bluetooth on for my headset and full bright. Never got hot.

[Q] Whats the longest youve been away from your infuse?

basically what the title says, whats the longest you've been away from your infuse?
for me...i haven't used my infuse in one week, school took it away last Wednesday, my parents picked it up last Friday only to have them decide to keep it because i had a bad grade in Spanish class...im hoping to get it back this Friday but who knows
so for me a week, how about you guys whats the longest you've been away?
BTW it is torture!!!!
Um about 8 hours or so lol and the first thing I do is check xda before I even get out of bed like my morning newspaper.

Never.
I can't go anywhere without mine. makes me feel naked.
WOW,mom,dad should have gave you the sg2 and the car keys for a bad grade in Spanish!
This concept is unknown to me and therefore causes me to be angry at you for suggesting it.

20 minutes each morning for my shower, otherwise, always in my pocket
Lol... when I used to get my phone taken away in school I would quickly take out my sim card if I was getting caught so I could just switch phones when I got caught and be like "IDC haha I'll pick it up whenever" and use a different phone. Same with when my parents took my phone. Buuuuut back on topic the longest I've been without a phone is probably when I lived in Michigan and didn't get service pretty much anywhere. xP
Two weeks plus. I hate it, but its a brick that can not be helped. Im getting the jtag service on it soon to save it. Then itll be alive woolhoooo. I hate using my ipod......

Why you love your Mytouch 4G

There are allot of reasons I love my phone, but just yesterday I dropped mine in the fish tank! WoW I was worried about it not working anymore. Did the normal steps to dry it out. To my surprise it is fine.
Thanks to all of you on xda for keeping old phones working better then factory.

In the fish tank? Jesus. You must have been quick about taking that battery out. That or REALLY lucky.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
Speaking of fish tanks, I went to sea world this last summer and sat in the splash zone for the killer whales and got drenched with my phone in my pocket. I wiped it off and kept using it afterwards like nothing happened. I was expecting at least my mic or headset to screw up but its been fine since.
Not even a whale...

I work outside and there have been many times I got caught in the rain. I'm not talking a drizzle, here. I'm talkin' Noah all over again. Never had an issue with water damage.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
I've had this phone for 2 years, and it still works well....there are better phones out there now, but none are impressive enough to make me drop $300. Recently rooted it and installed ICS, and at this rate who knows when I'll get sick of it....
I had this kind of accident too. The phone works well after that. This is really a good phone.
:-X
lol ... I was shouldering a call while taking a leak (while drunk) and um went down to flush and there it went. *splash*
Washed it off lol and sanitized it multiple times and it still works.

It was 1/2 flushed! Sort of.
I've had this phone since before there was a root method for it. It's not my daily driver anymore, but I love the form factor and weight, and I love perfectly stable cm7 on it.
I feel like this is the last of the purist Android devices.

love it because its two yrs old and still running strong

Because I slammed it in the back hatch of my car at the E. R. The 2nd day I had it. Right on the latch and screen and I only needed a new screen protector.
because i recently purchase my first android smart phone having good hardware configuration and custom rom support that's why i really love mt4g...
Its getting old but still kicking. I'm sure the battery will be the first to give up the ghost.

Developers are loving it even today
I love my mytouch-4g because the developers are still showing love for it. I am running CM10.1 on mine, updates more frequently available than the other most high octane phones.

This is true, cm10.1 is only in pre-alpha stages for both sgs2 and sensation. I keep my mt4g on cm7 though because I love "traditional android."
It'll be a sad day when we upgrade... Wonder how long we can hold out...

The reason I like htc glacer because it better than iphone 4. Plus I like andriod UI and tweaks.
Cuz my buddy who writes games for android and owns an siii is still in awe at the crazy new rom I have on my phone practically every week.

When I saw that I asked him right away if he dropped it or if his pockets were tight. He responded no to both. I've never seen him drop it, in fact the phone is still flawless. Nevertheless, the ended up shipping out a new phone. AT&T has really good CS. I'll let you know when the phone gets here. Oh yea, almost forgot, his screen is turning yellow now too.

Hey guys. Heres another update of the screen. When he woke up this morning he went to check his phone and found this. It got even worse. Whatever. We should be seeing a new one in 4 to 6 business days. Just a lil update.

Yea after seeing the updated photo there's no doubt that was caused by pressure. Sat on old phone before by accident and the screen did the EXACT same thing.
I wouldn't say this is a screen issue, just a damaged phone by accident :*(
Hopefully cs doesnt consider that physical damage and charge full retail price after they get it..
