[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a4 moda:
As someone who has worked in that field for a long time I can tell you that most of the products are not worthwhile. The battery ratings are not even good faith estimates. They just stick whatever they want on there.

Many of these aftermarket batteries cause hot reboot problems, shut down problems, and other voltage instability related problems leading to hardware shorts or inoperable temperatures.

It's just not worthwhile. Especially considering a $500+ phone.

If you want to get a backup battery, I say get another OEM one for a spare.

Otherwise, find a reputable 3rd party US-based online retailer that you can physically hold accountable if anything happens.

It wasn't long ago that I field tested one of the rechargeable 2-way transponders for a big name auto-security company (I won't name names), and their battery that was bench tested and calculated still turned out to be defective. Upon recharge and initial use, it would expand to the point of explosion. It popped right out of the transponder while melting onto the circuit board. you could tell that another 5 seconds plugged in would have been lethal.

Just sayin' it's not worth the risk. Damage to goods is one thing.

But if the battery actually does explode, the personal injury will be gruesome.

Anyway. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Hi to all folks!!

This is my first smartphone and i manage (thanks to your posts) to install GingerDX.v0.21

The problem is that when i connect my phone to PC (Windows 7 64bit) via USB doesn't show options like android 2.1 (chatge, usb storage data etc) and i don't have access in my sd card.:(:(

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks In advanced

Tto be honest i prefer to auto pop-up the window selection (like android 2.1) than to press menu key-->notification-->usb connection etc

Is there any way?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiborA.:
If you only download and install GingerDX and not open bootloader, download some other kernel and install this kernel so you have still stock (original) kernel. Than download from first post of GingerDX thread (where you find GingerDX Rom) zip with modules for stock kernel and install this one same way as GingerDX Rom
[TouchPad General] SCWells72:
Has anyone been able to access the TouchPad running CM7 with adb over USB? I can access my Nook Color so I know the right drivers are installed on my PC, but if I plug in my TouchPad and type "adb devices", it shows no devices.

I'm actually not interested in adb for itself, but I'm trying out iDisplay as a way of using the TouchPad as an additional monitor for my work PC, and it supports both USB and wifi for connecting the virtual display. At work we're not allowed to put our own laptops, tablets, etc., on the primary network, but there is a guest network. As a result, there's no wifi connectivity between my work machine and my tablet. However, I can definitely plug it into USB. Evidently iDisplay's support for USB uses the same communication channels as adb, so if you can't access the device via adb, iDisplay can't see it either.

Can anyone give me the magic incantation for this?

Thanks!
[TouchPad General] joenathane:
I forced the driver(Android Composite ADB Interface) to install for hardware id USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&REV_0227&MI_01

that's for the 16GB Touchpad the 32GB should have a similar id.

If you continue having problems you'll want to mention what OS you are using and any other pertinent details...

Hi all,

Has anyone figured out a way that works of stopping the constant system update screen from popping up?

It is trying to push the update to me which i cannot install because I am on EG31 and honestly currently liking EG31 just fine for now.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
You can install the update now with a downgrade to eg30 first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sTr3utr:
Sorry to hijack the post but I said "Yes" to the upgrade about half hour ago and it still hasn't come back, it's showing the white triangle with orange exclamation mark and the android robot.

I installed Midnight custom ROM on it and I'm affraid this upgrade will brick my phone.

What do I do? :confused: Someone please let me know.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It won't brick your phone, it just won't install.

Press a few buttons on your phone like [Home], [Back], and/or [Power] and you should be able to get rid of the logo screen and see what is behind it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sTr3utr:
Thank you for your quick reply.

I presed and held the [Power] button a few seconds and the Clockwork screen came up and then the phone rebooted. Now it's back to same screen.

Hope this helps anyone.

Just flashed EG30 via Odin and Then I changed the EKO2...ZIp folder to "update.zip" and flashed. Now my base band and Build are now EKo2. My question now is how to install CWM, withour losing EK02. I would like to install Viper or Calkulin Rom's. Is it necessary to install these ROMS with CWM. Can I do it via Fastboot instead? Just change the Epic Venum ROM to "update.zip"?

Thanks:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You can root and install CWM using this thread

[ROOT][NCIQ][EG30/EG31/EK02] Auto root your existing stock ROM (w/o ODIN/ROM Flash)

After installing CWM you should make a nandroid backup. The flash whatever ROM you want.

I would suggest you just run stock rooted for a day so you get a feel how stock EK02 performs before installing custom ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
I was just traveling with my gs2 and my Nook Color. In some places my Nook would connect to a public wifi signal but my phone would not. The Nook would say the signal was "good" and the gs2 would say either "fair" or "poor" and would not pick up a data connection.

My questoin is: is this a radio issue or a ROM issue or a phone issue and is there any way to improve chances of a data connection? I won't be back in that area for a while so I can't test it again but I'm wondering if there is anything that will help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Max Sterling:
So I had bought this phone off ebay and when I got it today I tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. :(

I then plugged the phone in and tried powering it on and still nothing. I tried charging the battery and left it alone for an hour and afterwards the result is the same. Basically when I plug in the phone to the charger, the phone's screen will flash a battery icon as if its going to charge for a split second and then go blank. And then it will flash the battery icon again and then go blank again and it will go on like this for a couple of minutes until the screen finally stays blank.

So as I said even though I leave the phone to charge for a while, it still won't turn on and the only result seems to be that the phone gets warm near the camera. Also I tried to see if download mode works and pressed both volume buttons and I get a brief flash of some words. After doing it for several times I saw it said 'Low battery, cannot download' all in red.

I searched the forum and tried leaving the battery out for a while and also putting it in the fridge to see if anything would happen but nothing. So can anyone help? :( Is it just the battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Could be the battery - if you are on good terms with a local ATT store, try going there and asking if you can borrow a battery from their demo device to see if yours will power up. That's the best cheap way I can think of to rule that out.

Other possibility is a bad USB port. My first device developed a failure at about 2 months - I'm actually on day 5 with my warranty replacement. There is another member here, Moustro I think, who also may have a bad USB port. He and I were wondering if perhaps there was a bad batch out there. I'm not sure what ATT's warranty policy is for items re-sold on eBay, but might be worth checking out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshuadjohnson22:
yeah that does sound like it could be the battery boot loop, take some photos of the battery to see if it is the oem... if it is the oem try a stand alone chager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Max Sterling:
I live in Canada don't think I'd get much help from AT&T probably. :(

Also the battery is the original one and not a replacement. I left it unplugged for a few hours and just now plugged it back in and its the same battery icon flashing for a couple of minutes and then blank screen. No charging whatsoever. I tried different outlets and different USB ports on my notebook and its all the same.

I also have an Infuse and charging for that every by every method is just fine so its my SII that's messed up. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yeahmon:
If it's any condolence to you, I just bought a brand new GS2 from the ATT store today. The battery was semi-charged when I got it, and when it ran out, I plugged it in and got the same thing you did. Battery is flashing, cannot power it on, even plugged in. I also got the red "Low battery, cannot download".

I spent the better part of 4 hours reloading my apps and email addys, and everything else to get my phone up and running, and now this.

I am going back to the ATT store tomorrow and requesting a different brand new one.

This is my 2nd GS2, because I destroyed my first one in an accident.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
Just as dandrumheller was saying. I had simimiar issues where the phone battery would blink on and off even if the charger was plugged in or not while the phone was powered off. The only way I could get my phone to boot to prepare it for warranty exchange was to flash a rom through Odin. But if you can't get it into download mode this wouldn't work.

My suggestion would be to use a different battery. That would let you know if its a hardware issue or bad battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yeahmon:
hmm...

I was able to to get it to power on last night with what little battery was left. I then plugged it into the USB of my Mac, rather than the charging wart. When I awoke this AM, I have a fully charged battery, and a working phone. I will let the battery run out again completely today and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
That's great news! I hope it continues to work for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
I would not let it completely run out. Our batteries don't like that. Don't go below 25 percent. I'm glad you got it working. I know you're relieved.

I tried this and it worked...

At a last resort, i put the battery on nexus to see if it will charge and DAMN !! it did,, so the battery was not the issue...so i grab a swab with little alcohol then clean the terminals on the battery and the spring connectors on the phone... and voila !!! started charging and keeps working perfectly.

It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you guys.

Same problem

Flashing on for a sec then flashing off, buttons flashed too. Phone got hot around the battery. Couldn't have described the problem better

Took some alcohol, cleaned the contacts for the USB connector, cleaned the battery contacts, and booyah, got the charging symbol again! Problem was, I didn't use the phone for a month, it rode around in the front pocket of my laptop bag, and apparently got the contacts dirty. A little toothpick and q-tip fun later, and my phone started charging again. Thanks -

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] edw1nk:
I had the same problem as op. My last resort was to cut the micro usb end of a spare cable and connected it to the (+) and (-) on the phone itself. since the phone booted up, i knew it was the battery. Next, i did the same thing but (+) and (-) on the battery itself while connected to a computer. i held it in place for about 10 seconds. put the battery back in the phone and it started charging again. im sure it wasnt the safeat thing to do, but it worked. Maybe the dead battery needed some kind of jump.

btw. The wires you would be using are the the black and red. and i got this idea from

I believe these are different types of batteries. Not Lithium, but something else. I bought some spare batteries from eBay and the batteries had the same instructions... That it is not good to let them die completely, and charge then preferably when they still have 1/3 charge left.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darethehair:
[1st post] Apologies if this has already been discussed in a thread -- if so, just shut this one down...

Though I am looking forward as much as anyone else here to eventually getting my own Asus TP, I am curious about how easy/expensive it will ultimately be to replace the internal battery i.e. when the initial one wears out from continual drains and re-charges (as a follow-on to this, I am curious what treatment needs to be given to the TP battery to maximize its life span)?

One of the many selling points of the Toshiba Thrive was the user-replaceable battery (and easily-removable back panel). From what I understand, that was the *only* tablet with that feature.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
You won't be able to change the battery easily. From what i looks like I guess the back is somehow glued to the screen, so I don't think removal will be a good idea ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
Modern batteries should not need replacement before the average user buys a new tablet, so i wouldn't worry about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
But I do wish to worry about it.

Perhaps I plan to make this a permanent resident of my desktop or car?

Perhaps I use items far beyond the length of the average user.

OP, most of the time in cases like this there is a in-warranty replacement plan available.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darethehair:
Hmmm...it disturbs me to think that it might not be easy (or, worse yet, possible) to replace the battery in *any* device that I might own. Even if I myself cannot do the 'replacement', I would hope that some service center could (?). If not, I think it is crazy to 'throw away' a perfectly good device just because of the battery. I suppose one could just leave the device plugged in, but on a tablet that is very constraining :(

Any estimates for how long it might take to get to the 'point of frustration'? Say, heavy use for a year? 2 years? Hmmm...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
Nothing is impossible, it will just need to be disassembled similar to the way the ipads are imo, modern lithium batteries should be able to easily go 2 years of heavy use with no issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] colonel187:
Apple doesn't allow users to replace batteries. You must send iDevices back to the all mighty to have batteries replaced. Im sure Asus offers the same thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
If it is a permanent location, then it should have a permanent power source, which means you wouldn't need to run off the battery while using it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] evanhumanist:
I realize that this an old thread, but I found it while googling and I just want to post a reply in case anyone else comes along.

Tech republic posted a video:

techrepublic.com/videos/cracking-open/cracking-open-asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime/6343514

In it, you can clearly see that the Asus Transformer Prime is very parts replacement friendly. You can replace just about any of the internal pieces, as long as you can figure out how to open the case without damaging it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darethehair:
Thanks for the video link! Now, I hope things are just as good -- if not better -- with the pending 'Infinity' model :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
honestly because the battery can last for days without a charge, it cycles much less than say a cell phone. I charge my tab about 1/4 as much as my cell phone with an extended life battery. (Granted overall the phone gets more use) but still I think you can expect at least a good 3-4 years of moderate use before even THINKING about a battery change. For someone like me who uses my tab in spurts depending on the situation I wouldn't be surprised if I have only had about 100 cycles on the battery so far and I've had it 6 months so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haarwe:

Anyone have any knowledge where a replacement can be found?

I'll take the glue off and reseal it if needed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AndrewB.:
Hello,

I'm currently a proud owner of HTC Tattoo (running android 2.3.7) and I'm looking to buy a new phone. There are few phones that I had in mind, but mini pro is currently my favorite. I love the fact that it has a real qwerty keyboard, 1Ghz processor, and the small screen (I like a phone that fits in my pocket).

But, I have few questions:

Do the newer versions have the noise issue ?

Is the touch screen responsive ?

Is battery life good, and is battery overheating ?

Is reception good ?

Is the phone generally fast ? (I'm tired of Tattoo's occasional lags)

So what do you think, should I buy it ?

Kind regards,

Andrew
