[carlypiglet]

How's it running if u still have it? Is it totally worth it??

[MarkJRust]

@carlypiglet Still using it, if you're planning on having the phone for awhile, get it.

[nrvous23]

Edit: wow, just went back to amazon to check the title and description of the battery and the price is back at $53 with only four batteries instock.

[nrvous23]

Batt is $10.91 on amazon right now.

[MarkJRust]

@nrvous23 That one is by a different company.

[nrvous23]

@MarkJRust I just ordered the 3500 and the description is that of a seidio innocell. Lots of peeps on xda are ordering it.

[Tdmad1025]

What is the lockscreen you are using called?

[Rcrby525]

@Tdmad1025 looks like he has a custom rom.

[TheOriginalTacoman]

Wow. Maybe next time you will go a little slower. I could not follow you instructions on takeing it out of the box. I had to watch that a couple of times before I had mine sucessfully unpacked.

[MarkJRust]

@TheOriginalTacoman The purpose of an unboxing video is to show the contents of an item and what the contents may read. Not to show someone how to open it, please take your disrespectful comments elsewhere. Thank You.

[Ortega2Productions]

You cut your case to make it like a bumper?

[MarkJRust]

@Ortega2Productions You could, I tried and failed. But if you have skill I assume you can.

[killdogjmm]

What kind of knife was that

[MarkJRust]

@killdogjmm Spring loaded knife from a store China Capital Arts. They have a bunch of cheap, but nice quality, knifes from china.

[suomik1988]

what's that power control widget you have? it looks like 1x8 or something

[MarkJRust]

@suomik1988 Its a power control widget that is customizable because I'm running cyanogenmod. But, you can get the same or similar thing with an app called "Extended Power Control" in the android market.

[dakotarocks1234]

how did you get your screen to unlock like that??

[MarkJRust]

@dakotarocks1234 An app called WidgetLocker

[MrLoser77]

how come your back cover was shiny?

[MarkJRust]

@MrLoser77 I have the Invisibleshield by ZAGG on it.

[VirgoKing87]

I know this is off subject or what not but how is the ringtone quality for incoming calls and can you use whole mp3 songs as rigntones??

[MarkJRust]

@VirgoKing87 The quality is only as good as the mp3 you start with. 

[sledhill]

@MarkJRust

have you heard of a big drop off in the ability to hold a charge after a few months? i haVE read a few reviewslike that and it has me leery.

[MarkJRust]

@sledhill Sadly, I exchanged this battery in a month or two after I got it because it did seem to not keep my battery up near 100% as long as it used to. The battery I'm currently using seems to be holding up nicely. I will be editing this video to alert other viewers. Thank You.

[sledhill]

@MarkJRust

NOW you tell me, I just bought the damn thing :P Is there any hope or does it just slowly crap out over time?

[MarkJRust]

@sledhill There is hope that your battery will last, I'm not sure over multiple years. But, if you get a good one it should last as long as a standard battery.

[awsdrf101]

i am running cyanogen mod on my incredible and am wodering how you customized your lock screen like that?

[MarkJRust]

@awsdrf101 Its called WidgetLocker, and can be found in the market.

[awsdrf101]

@MarkJRust hay thanks i relized that after looking through some of your other videos probably should have done that first :P but thanks anyway i love that app so far

[Degenerate724]

How did you customize your phone like that?

[MarkJRust]

@Degenerate724 I have a rooted phone and I'm running cyanogen mod rom.

[Voudim]

@MarkJRust does it have better life as of the OS?

[MarkJRust]

@Voudim No, cyanogen mod's battery optimization isn't as good as a stock HTC sense rom, if that's what you're asking.

[Degenerate724]

are u kidding me, its huge. hell no. would rather charge my phone 2 times a day before i buy a battery that big lol.

[MarkJRust]

@Degenerate724 I suppose it's up to personal preference, I needed a battery to make it at least 24 hours to make it through my long day. This battery fulfilled my needs. :)

[gboy953]

i just got the incredible... how can i customize my incredible like you have? and do u think the batttery is worth getting?

[MarkJRust]

@gboy953 my phone is rooted and I'm running cyanogen mod rom. And if you're struggling with your stock battery, its definitely worth it.

[mauiboisugi]

How does the camera with flash does it have the flash back when u do take a picture or is it like as if it was stock.

[MarkJRust]

@mauiboisugi Its like if it were stock. It has two holes for both flashes, and another for the camera lens.

[TheDude7225]

i was thinkin about gettin the incredibale along with this. or should i wait for the htc merge???? hmm...

[MarkJRust]

@TheDude7225 If you have the need for a keyboard, go with the merge. If you don't and want a faster processor (800 mHz vs 1 gHz) go with the incredible. :D 

[gbifflefan16]

can you tell me where to get that android wallpaper, i've been looking for it forever

[MarkJRust]

@gbifflefan16 This wallpaper is built in with with Cyanogen mod 6. My best best bet to find the file is on the cyanogen mod forums. Happy Hunting. :)

[TheNintendoKidDX]

Currently considering buying the 3500mAh battery if I get an incredible. Is it worth it? How much time do you get from a full charge with heavy usage of 3g/games/music/video etc.?

[MarkJRust]

@TheNintendoKidDX I was hammering hard on my phone yesterday, (3G on full time, some angry birds, web browsing, twitter, camera, file managing, youtube) and I still managed to get a days worth. That's with me purposefully trying to drain it. With normal use you can expect to easily get 1.5-2 days. But, I have my CPU drop to ~384mhz when my screen is turned off so keep that in mind.

[TheNintendoKidDX]

@MarkJRust Thanks. I'd literally clock my phone to the lowest possible setting when the screen is off though :P (BTW on long days I could clock it to 850mhz, no need to have it working at 1GHZ all the time). With heavy use of 3G and graphic-intensive games (and a little bit of texting) do you think it last about a day?

[MarkJRust]

@TheNintendoKidDX I'm currently uploading a follow up review video of the battery, check it out!

[SystemXpander]

so do u notice a lot longer battery life?

[MarkJRust]

@SystemXpander Yes, I couldn't live without this battery now. Before my phone would last me to mid afternoon, now with this battery I can easily get 2 days. I will be posting a follow up video soon!
