bluetooth stereo headset will solve the problem
no need to deal with wire anymore

Woot im using crossroads bijou 4 + blue tube now~ with loudness+stereo widening on and equalizer settings the SQ is nice XD

mind telling us how much u bought it?

If you mean my tube then I bought it at RM1040, avaxx set
The bijou I owned it long time before i buy my tube, bought from walabies in trade zone, search it then u can find it. Bijou is around RM170, expensive but nice sound quality..

So far no explosion occurs.. choi.. dont say explode laa so far normal usage ( moderate sms, less than 30min of calling and 1 hour of UNO game ), the battery is still full.. will test music playback when i have time..

try recharge again n play music overnight using earphone
if still full bar might consider buying it

anyway is the battery bulky?
with the ugly rear cover?

will do it tonight.. right now i let it on music playback with internal speaker instead of earphone.. so the battery should drain faster.. and no the size of the battery is the same with our default battery

@aishiteru: u charged for 8 hours prior to using it? (too tired yesterday when item arrived, forgot to charge beforehand. will be doing some experiments tonite [wanna see how long it will last for GPS )

AFAIK .. there's no need to charge up until 8 hours.. just charge the new battery till its full and add up 1 hour or so to that.. plus.. for 5800XM it will automatically stop charging after the battery is full IINM laa.. but i did leave it charge overnight 0100 - 0600

Universal Battery Tips

*Follow the laptop battery rules: Your phone's lithium-ion battery benefits from the same best battery practices for a laptop. If your battery is new and decent enough, don't keep it plugged in all the time, or it dies the death of a thousand tiny discharges. Use the battery almost all the way when you use it, charge it when it needs it, and, if necessary, let it completely run down and recharge it every so often to refresh its own sense of longevity.

*Keep it cool and out of pocket: If you're outside, don't leave your phone facing the direct sunlight. If you can pull it off without looking like a hyper-aggressive real estate agent, belt-clip your phone, or generally keep it out of your pocket and away from close quarters with your body heat.

*Switch off 3G when it's unnecessary: It's faster than EDGE or GRPS and can deliver both voice and data in a continuous stream to your phone. It also uses up quite a bit more power. When you've got good coverage and plan to mostly talk, or just get occasional email updates, you don't need such wide wireless pipes. Switch to EDGE/2G usage in your settings, preferably with a widget or shortcut.

*Switch off any unneeded service: Goes without saying for anyone who's learned the hard way. Having your phone constantly look for new Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi hotspots, GPS positions, and Exchange server emails that don't arrive at 4 a.m. will definitely kill your battery. Find the most convenient way your phone offers to turn these things off, or automate their use, and act on it.

*Be frugal with background applications and notifications: It feels like living in the future when new emails, Twitter messages, Facebook updates, calendar appointments, and other minutiae are delivered minute-by-minute to your phone. Your battery lives in the present, though, and could use a break from your hyper-awareness. If you've got a phone that can keep multiple applications "open" for quicker access (Android, Pre, Windows Mobile), don't feel obligated to keep them present.

*Use a black or dark theme: Except for the iPhone, most phones let you set your own wallpaper, and some give you the ability to "theme" your phone's entire look. It might be a minor point, but using a darker-colored theme doesn't make your backlight and screen work quite so hard, and saves your battery just a bit.

*Fiddle with screen time-outs and brightness: Tweak how long your screen stays lit after a quick time check, modify how bright it must stay during the daylight, and you'll likely pull a bit more use time from your handset.

*Use mobile site versions: Find and bookmark the mobile versions of the sites you always visit (often found at m.sitename.com, mobile.sitename.com, or, occasionally, sitename.com/m), and keep tools like the Google Mobilizer and Bing Mobile handy; they'll automatically pare down a page to its basic elements, and save your phone from having to burn its battery pulling down giant banner ads.

Rules followed yet still am no satisfy with the battery life thus resulting in finding higher capacity battery

1700mAH Battery Report Update: 5 hours music playback (Internal Speaker, Volume Set to Mid) + 10 messages + 10 minutes of Call + Opera Mini 5 Beta running in background - Battery >50%

p/s: saw somewhere got a software can show accurate battery percentage status.. do you guys know.. uncle google did not answer me though.. maybe he was asleep..

u might need to off and on ur hp aso to see the actual battery life draint. i noticed when the hp is on, the bar is still full for quite long after long usage

Oki apparently i was asking uncle google the wrong question.. now according to this battery status app.. my battery percentage is currently at 43%

Just my luck, my pc got struck by lightning few days ago, its mboard fried same with my modem. Got a replacement yesterday and these few days use my
tube + tv-out + lcd + wlan =

tube replacing ur pc?
is the resolution nice when using tv out on lcd tv?
never use tv-out function before

I guess it is alright from normal viewing distance. Sound also not bad. Internet on lcd is pretty nice. N the video quality can be said as mediocre IE abit better than astro. Now, how useful this tube is.

modem fried still got wlan?
