[Windows Phone 7 General] cgibsong002:
Hey guys... new member and user here. Just got my first smartphone, Samsung Focus, last thursday. I've got a few other questions but I'll get to the most important ones first.

I just received my new case.. a Monaco aluminum case. I did a lot of research and although there is very little info on this one, it definitely appears to be the most well designed. In the youtube review of it, they noted how the developer specifically cut ports in the case to allow for signal strength to be unaffected.

I just got the case and was thrilled with the fit and everything. but then for the first time since having the phone i'm having messages not sending. however it still says i have good signal reception. i then took the case off and had mixed results. put the case back on and had no issues for a bit.. now i'm having issues again. i have had random bursts of good and bad reception in my room where I am.

So is there possibly an app that tests exact reception strength or something? I'd really like a direct comparison with and without the case. By just looking at my bars up top, they don't seem to be affected with and without the case.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cgibsong002:
Anyone? Surely there must be a way to determine actual signal strength aside from just the bars up top, no?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
If you have a metal case which more or less surrounds your aerial, then you basically have a Faraday Cage

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

...which will significantly reduce the signal received by the phone. Especially if you are holding it and are well grounded. If you're wearing thick rubber-soled boots, that's a bad ground. If you're barefoot, that's a good one.

Basically a metal case isn't a very good idea for a mobile phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Oscardog777:
Try this:

Dial ##634#

Tap call

You will now be in the diagnosis app

Now type *#32489#

Press the on-screen back button three (3) times

Tap 9 (it will say Antenna/ADC)

The Antenna signal strength number is displayed in -mD. lower numbers indicate better signal stregth (so -60 is a better signal than -100)

Hope this helps!
[Windows Phone 7 General] cgibsong002:
Hell yes! I knew this forum looked useful. How in God's name do you find that diagnostic menu? AT&T or windows function?

Anyway, I wish I had a second eye with me so I can take down all the numbers and run a hypothesis test on the sets of data.

However, just by observations over about 2 minute periods, I see no discernible difference between case and no case. Without the case, the db level seemed to average around 94-95 with a standard deviation of about 10.

If anything, the case seemed to improve reception, though I doubt there's any real truth to it. The reception seemed to average exactly the same as without the case, except I experienced less stray values jumping up in the 100's as I noticed without the case. Overall, I'd probably just list those values as outliers as I would probably just contribute them to the incoming signal itself.

I'll try testing again in another location.. however, as of right now, it appears the myth is busted that this case has any impact on signal strength.

Thanks so much for the help!
[Windows Phone 7 General] TOA Duck:
Thats what these bad-asses do around here. LOL
[Windows Phone 7 General] Oscardog777:
Welcome! Keep in mind that signal strength is affected by many variables such as location, how you hold the phone, time of day, how far away you are from the tower serving your phone, even the weather.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cgibsong002:
Yes.. of course. But my goal was to figure out whether or not my awesome new case was hindering signal strength. I tested it with and without the case while in the exact same resting position, as well as the same position with my holding the phone. I also did it multiple times to try to factor in periodic surges in signal strength.

Definitely makes no difference... possibly even better with the case.

And, by the way, does anyone else have this case? I'd have to say it's definitely the top case out there for the Samsung Focus. It offers much better protection than any others (open screen cases that is), while providing great access to all side buttons, and not looking nearly as ugly as most of them (Case Mate!).

Only two grips.

1. Why hinged? Why not just snap on like all the others? The hinge and clip barely add any bulk, but still they are not necessary.

2. Could use just a bit more screen room on the sides and top of the screen. maybe a few mm on the sides and a centimeter or so up top. But I'll gladly take that for the protection this thing provides.

So I received a fresh Pixi Plus today but I do not want to activate it yet, just mess around with it before I have to activate it. I found two solutions. One of which is devicetool which I would run through command prompt and would bypass for me. This, however, would not connect to my Pixi as windows can't find drivers. If anybody has Win7 drivers that would help.

The other solution is this:

http://forums.precentral.net/palm-p...ctor-guide-bypass-carrier-activation-etc.html

But it claims that I shouldn't bypass activation if I plan on using the Cellular Radio. Will I really not be able to use it as a phone if I follow the guide?

Edit: Seems I got it. Just needed the Palm SDK heh

Hopefully I can still activate later though :/

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] HTCuser010:
I just used this and it worked

"hey guys, I'm quite surprised to see no one actually managed to bypass the activation screen, or at least no one has posted the solution yet. Here we go:

1. Download the activtion bypass tool from downloads.palm.com/sdkdownloads/ActivationBypass/2010-04-16/devicetool.jar and save it where you like

2. Get to phone to run in USB mode: depending on the OS this can be a struggle or very easy. The difficult way:

- take out the battery

- press the phones 'volume up' button and keep pressing it during the following steps

- plug in the usb cable while

- put in the battery and release the 'volume up' button

If this doesn't work, you're lucky. It'll then work like this:

- keep the phone as it is, with battery and cover in place and press the 'volume up' button

- plug in the usb cable and release the volume up button

The phone is in recovery mode now, you should see the USB logo on the screen

3. From the command line (in the location where you saved the bypass tool) enter java -jar devicetool.jar

And there you are. Easy as 1.2.3.

Maybe someone can help me how to activate the phone once it's bypassed? I haven't gotten so far yet"

[Nook Color General] Robertjm:
Hi all.

I have been trying to install CM7/gingerbread over the past couple of days to no availe.

First I tried my 16gb card and now I've tried my 4gb card. Unfortunately, I don't have any smaller, or non SDhc, cards around.

Tried holding the power button, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I have attatched a screen capture of the sd card contents. The "extra" folders at the top were not originally there, but were added when it launched into the normal OS.

One thing that came to mind is I have installed ClockworksMod to internal memory earlier. Could that be screwing up my being able to boot the SD card?

I found my Nook Color was very finicky about the card. It did not like the Transcend 4 GB class 6 that I had, but worked on some generic 2 GB card that I had leftover.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sabbourh:
before i got my galaxy s i used to own the htc desire,

now when i charge the galaxy s with its own charger i never get more than 12 hours of standby and the battery just dies

with the htc desire charger i get more than one day of battery life, actually now after 1d 45min since being unpluged i still got 42% of battery life (with the exact same usage as my everyday usage)

now after checking the output voltage in both i found out that they both output 5volts , but the galaxy s is 0.7 amps, while the desire is 1amp

so do you think that i should keep using the htc desire's charger to charge the galaxy s, or this slight increase in amp can damage the phone.

by the way , i tried 2 different samsung chargers , and they both give me no more than 12 hours of standby time , so i know that i do not have a problem in the charger.

any help will be appreciated

thanks

My Samsung Charger just stopped working and I only have my HTC HD2 charger to use so I haven't got a clue. Just shows how rubbish the Samsung one is though i barely used it as it is and its broken.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Bax5:
This is very peculiar to me.

The charger shouldn't be making a huge difference, but the way I see it, if the charger is output more current to the battery in a faster period of time, it might be charging the battery "more" or over charging, or the samsung undercharging.

The battery life of a phone SHOULD be determined by the mAh rating of the battery. and if both chargers are charging the phone until "100%" then they should not be draining at different rates.

The best way to test this is to get a sustained load and put it on the batteries and see if they match up to the rated mAh ratings. I wish i was still in school so i had access to this stuff so i could test it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] azzledazzle:
who cares if more amps cause damage, the only damage it will cause is to the battery.

the average battery should last the same as the phone - say 3 - 4 years ??

so if using the HTC charger ruins the battery is 2 - 3 years, who gives a **** lol, aslong as my battery life increases, im happy to buy a replacement charger in 2 - 3 years, BUT by then i would have moved on to another device anyway.

I say if it works, USE IT !!! to hell with the consequences, live life to the max !!

Thanks for the info. I will give it a try with my wife HTC charger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EldonP:
Something isn't right here

The current rating of the charger tells you the max current the charger will output before it has "problems". (Usually voltage sag.)

I'm not familiar with phone chargers specifically so its possible they vary, but most battery chargers (and in this case we're not talking about the wall wart but the charger in the phone) will take the maximum current either it or the wall wart is capable of and monitor the battery until a pre-determined voltage is reached. It will then ramp back the current as required to hold the voltage at that setpoint. When the current reaches (approximately) zero the battery is fully charged and the charger stops.

Using a charger with a higher current rating may allow you to charge the battery faster (assuming you aren't already at the current limit of the phone's internal charger) but shouldn't allow you to charge the battery any fuller.

So I'm with Bax5, I'm having a hard time believing that changing the charger is increasing the battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] opher50:
They think that maybe because of the lower amps the Samsung charger wont actually charge to the 100% and it just fakes or something ... while the htc charger with higher amp makes it really filled to the top!.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bootsy85:
What's the current output of the Sony Ericsson and LG charger?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] wurstel:
i heard that the sgs is not charged to 100% because it damages the battery on the long run.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] garbz:
I guarantee you that this is not the case. You can check it quite simply. Firstly the Samsung charger is capable of putting out 1.4 times the maximum possible current of a USB2.0 hub that has no other devices on it. Yet the phone still not only charges when plugged into USB but it charges when the screen is on and on max brightness. Also a charging Galaxy S is reported to take one power port on a USB hub. 100mA or 1/7th of the capable output of the charger.

The other issue is that as a battery fills to the top the amount of current required to charge it gets SMALLER not larger as the battery reaches capacity. That means if there is any difference between charging to be seen at all it would be how quickly a dead battery starts charging up, not how well it tops off at the end.

Lithium batteries are funny like that. Can't over charge them, can't over discharge them, and there is considerable safety margin built into all charging circuits since no one likes seeing their lovely phone smoking.

Does the Samsung Galaxy screen responde to touch

Hi,

I tried HTC Desire USB charger on my sgs i9000, The screen did not response to touch. I t starting acting diffrently. Did any one face this issue.

I tried 2 diffrent USB chargers one from desire other one from desire HD. for both same problem.

I think it does not support 1 amp charger. Did any one face same issue ?

Connect Charger and use the phone... this will help determine the issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Zeebad:
What the people who know about batteries said. Li-ion batteries let you know in a far more spectacular way than extra life if they are overcharged.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] garbz:
This current is the maximum current your charger will supply before it turns into a molten puddle. The phone draws the current it needs when you plug it in. Compatibility is determined only by matching voltage and ensuring the maximum demand from the phone isn't higher than that of the charger.

If anything plugging in a charger that is far smaller than the one required has ill effects, not far larger as is the case here.

There may be something else at play.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] SkinBobUk:
Funny this thread has popped up.

I've not taken the Samsung charger out of the box as i just used my desire one as it was plugged in behind the bed.

I've always wondered why there are a lot of complaints about battery life when I've never had a problem.

My phone is roughly 8 months old and I've used the desire charger for the duration and never had a problem.

sounds to me very unreasonable...

a battery charges. period.

it can take 5v while charging, and the more amps meaning the faster it charges. thus at the end it suppose to supply the same watt when it is full, whether it was charged thru samsung or htc charger.

correct me if i'm wrong...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pileot:
Consider a battery like a mug of beer. Fill it fast and you get foam at the top. Fill it nice and slow and you get a good cup of beer.

Batteries are the same way. If you fill it fast (high amperage) then it will charge the battery faster but you actually get LESS charge in the battery. Charge the battery slowly and it will charge more evenly and you get more juice.

LOTS of things effect battery life, from the strength of your signal to what apps you have installed, even the weather can effect it (bad weather causes more interference causing a weaker signal causing more battery drain)

Anyone saying they are getting more battery life with a different charger are either

A) overcharging their battery which can cause it to explode, leak, or otherwise damage itself and any electronics it is in

or

B) preforming an impartial test, either by not using the phone the same amount each day, leaving bluetooth or gps on, different strengths of signals, etc.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xenitu:
If you are true, you should get more battery life with samsung charger. But the actual result is different.

For A: It cannot happen if you do not unplug and plug the charger after having 100 percent full battery. The charging is being stopped by the phone when it is full. But if you unplug and plug the charger again at that time, you can overcharge it.

B) This may be more realistic.

But I have to say that original SGS charger sucks. I dont like it. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] garbz:
That's not true for lithium cells. They only suffer early death and potentially overheating, but not a lack of charge.

Strange issue given the apple charger is no different to the SGS than the SGS charger. It's just 5V with more than enough juice to charge the phone. In the test I conducted I had no problem at all with an iPhone charger, and there's no logical reason to conclude that you should have a problem. Maybe your phone is anti Apple. ;)

Perfectly correct, however at issue were using chargers with different current capacities. The test showed the phone draws a maximum of 480mA while charging and would not benefit from a charger with a higher capacity like the the HTC. However a lower capacity charger would likely start a small fire or in one case cause the phone to drop in and out of the charging state (which is quite annoying when the sound is on)
