I compared the Anker 1900mAh against the original 1680mAh and 2000mAh and the Andida 2000mAh afew weeks ago. As I did this test just for myself, I do not have screenshots or some other proof of my findings. Just came across this thread today:

Capacity does not say everything about a battery, the way it discharges is also a concideration. Some hold their charge at around 80% (per example) for a long time and the suddenly drop to 0% in a matter of minutes, while other ones just gradually decline to 0%. That is why just looking at the charge indicator on your phone says nothing and can make you feel like the battery has more capacity than it acctualy has, because it feels like it is on high % a long time. But anyway

Sammy 1680 - Actual 1600-1650 (3 month old battery)

Sammy 2000 - Actual 1950 (new battery 2 charge cycles)

Anker 1900 - Actual 1550-1600 (new battery 2 charge cycles

Andida 2000 - Actual 1400 (new battery 2 charges)

So yes, for it's price the Anker is not a bad battery, but it is nowhere near it's stated capacity. And I've read 2 story's so far of a failing Anker battery (exploded) and 1 of the Andida battery screwing up the baatery controller inside the SGSII. I can not make decisions on behalf of the readers wallet, but I will never buy a cheap replacement battery for my SGSII. The Samsung Battery's are relatively cheap in comparison to let's say HTC. Those few extra bucks could save you a whole lot of trouble and frustartion and maybe repair costs if the fail (which they sometimes tend to do)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] peachpuff:
Oh no... say it aint so!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
How did you measure the battery capacity? I've been using Battery Monitor Widget Pro, which reports values somewhat higher than you're quoting. I'm trying to assess the accuracy of BMW's measurements, but without another method to measure the capacity, it's a bit difficult.

If you need to send your phone back for warranty is there a way to backup the branded firmware?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Use recovery, or just reflash with SEUS or the Flashtool.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluechipJ:
Use Update Service or PC Companion to repair/reflash your phone and then save the files that it downloads.

Then use the FlashTool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10738467 / http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/) to decrypt the files and create your own FlashToolFile for backup.

If I had backed up before changing the firmware that caused the battery issue, would a restore fix the problem?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
if you have 0% battery problem.

NO it will not fix it, it is hardware problem (fuel gauge chip), it must be replaced or even whole motherboard (my case)

So lock your bootloader, flash it with some android, un root it and send it to service center if you have warranty.

Hi,

i have a Galaxy Ace with Gingerbread 2.3.3 and i would like to use Cisco VPN at my Phone.

When i start this App it appears a message

"This device does not meet the minimum requirements to run this Software. A TUN/TAP driver could not be located. Please ensure a TUN/TAP module is compiled with your kernel or located in /data/local/kernel_modules"

I copied this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1207952) tun.ko into /data/local/kernel_modules and i tried insmod tun.ko but it appears the message:

"insmod: init_module 'tun.ko' failed (Exec format error)"

When i trie modprobe tun it appears the folowing Message:

"modprobe: chdir(2.6.35.7-perf-CL4846464): No such file or directory"

Hallo, first let me say sorry for my bad english. I am writing from Italy:D, i have a problame with droidwall. I read the topic about the netfilter, but i didn't understand nothing, i am a new androidian:D. I need a simple guide for this, i really need to use droidwall. Help me.

Second, i have a problame with the market app, the icon is disapperared. Yesterday I installed gingerDx v17, then i upgraded to v18 without a factory reset. After i have decided to downgrade to the v17, this time i have made a factory reset, and then i lost the market app. I tried to install the latest version of the market using astro, and i noticed that the app is already installed, and astro showd me 3 options: uninstall/update/launch. I can't uninstall, i can't update, also i can't launch (if i press launch astro shows this, function not found com.android.vending). What to do now? I have tried with a factory reset, but nothing....

I have a backup of my original rom...

I'm trying not to sound like a noob unable to use the search button, but I have been looking for the answer to this and can't find a solid result.

Is there any way to overclock / undervolt on 2.3.4? Or has the source kernel not been released yet?

I am currently running Infected Rom 1.4.2 if that makes any difference, i'd really like some way to overclock and/or undervolt when I please

Thank's to whoever responds without a smart ass comment!

It depends on your kernel. If your running Infected I suggest reading through that thread and seeing what, if any, alternate kernels play nice with that rom. I don't know offhand as I haven't used that rom.

But , but , but , laggy and conflict with finsky.apk that is working together with default a500 market 1.0.28.

The 3.3.11market doesn't update my apps like it should and the only thing you can do is delete the finsky.apk to get rid of those conflicts , google maps don't update , superuser don't update.

So I stay with 1.028 market , better layout for me and no update problems.

I tried to install this and it went fine..but after installing it several of my games started to FC on me. Anybody have a clue why? Is it the cache that does it? Can I wipe the cache with CWM without erasing game data?

It stopped when I installed the original marked .apk again.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I've been running this release since I saw it on Engadget. It works but it definitely has it's glitches if you just install the apk in my case. (I don't have or want root).

First of all, the app descriptions don't show up. You see an icon and the 2 or 3 buttons (open, update, uninstall or open, uninstall).

Secondly, there are 2 market app icons now. The market that is originally on the A500, v. 1.0.28 or something like that and the new one.

I'm keeping the new one because I like the auto update setting as well as not having constant notifications for updates. But just keep this in mind IF you are simply going to install by running the apk. I've had absolutely no force closes and for me there' no market lag as others have stated.

ej. our sistem partition is from 90mb to 300mb Sistem Part is 550 mb

before doing the Backup

if you have more than 14 partitions you have to edit (note pad) Backup-Maker.bat and ad lines for every extra partition you have

if you have less than 14 does no matter it will stop and you can unplug USB

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tinkererx:
When you install a new launcher from the Android Market I think it will ask you which you want to use when you press the Home button.

If it has already asked you and you would like to change to another already installed launcher, you will need to go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications then select the "All" tab. Scroll down to your launcher app in the list and select it. On this page, look for a button that says "Clear Defaults".

After that, you should be able to press the home button and get a list of launcher from which you can choose.

Hi guys, sorry if this had been covered, but I just couldn't find it in the forum.

I'm trying to update my dad's Droid 2 Global (GSM, outside US), from stock 2.2 (with no updates applied ever) to gingerbread via OTA.

But when I tap on System Update, it states that it shows the following:

I've defrost bloatware, unrooted with z4root, and rebooted twice, but it's still there.

Any idea how to get around this? Thank you very much.

only option in that popup was to "setup account" if I remember correctly, phone's not with me at the moment.

When I tap on that, it just shows me all the app accounts that my phone has, ex: google, whatsapp, email. There isn't any Motorola Service account. There is one that could be nearest to a motorola service which reads "Backup", but going in there just shows can't connect to server.

I was using my Evo the other night. I was playing a game. I set my phone down with it paused. When i picked it up an hour or so later, the screen was dead. I thought that the battery had just died. But the soft buttons at the bottom still lit up. So my screen is now dead. I can use the HDMI to see my phone screen on the TV and even still use the touch screen to navigate my phone. I can't however use HDMI in recovery mode. It is all scrambled. So I need to flash to stock somehow and unroot so I can get a new one through my warranty.
