[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
Just a quick update, the battery fits amazingly well in the phone, and so far I am extremely pleased with the results, though I havent really tested it just yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gorillaz1:
Is there anything I should do after installing the battery to make it work better? Coming from an iphone I never had to deal with battery changes lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I just put mine in the phone but I did change roms the same day so I did a battery calibration
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] manus ferrera:
First off welcome to android. Just use it for a couple days and it should level itself out. Or u can charge it to 100 then use the app battery calibration
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shdw03:
There is a thread that states calibration not needed, but just charge full to almost dead 3-4 times then you should be good. Or when fully charged rebooting helps as well.

FYI.. there is a 2300 math battery that fits as well!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] manus ferrera:
Link
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] manus ferrera:
It looks as if u need an extended battery door
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shdw03:
Stock cover. Its the epic4g slim. There are pics and links in the vibrant forum. Sorry posting from the throne right now...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] manus ferrera:
Ya I checked it out and seems legit. So I made a new threshold for people to see
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
Damn I wish I knew about the 2300 mah before I got the 1800 lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] manus ferrera:
Same here but it's not a Samsung product so not sure the quality. But from what people have said its awesome
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I wanna get that 2300 mah battery now
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farmerbb:
So I've had the 1800mah Epic 4G Touch battery in my phone now for a few days... I can definitely tell that it lasts a bit longer than the stock battery.

One issue that I've noticed: I was using my phone to record/watch videos while charging and I noticed that the battery was actually discharging itself while the phone was in the charger. I've never seen the stock battery do that at all. AndroSensor also reported the battery health as "OVERHEATING!" Has anyone else experienced any issues like that while using the 1800mah battery? (Hopefully my battery isn't faulty...)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I've had the 1800 mah batteries for about 4 months and have never had that problem
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] downtowncharliebrown:
Hey so I bought the battery for the Epic and it definitely lasts longer compared to my old battery that had seen better days. Also fits way better and I don't have to put paper in there to make it snug anymore.

I'm having an issue charging to 100% though. The first day it was saying it was at 97% while charging, then "Charged" all of the sudden. I would unplug it, and it was go back to 97% under status. It said charged today and when I unplugged it, it said the battery was at 94%. Anyone know if draining the battery all the way or some other trick would solve this? Or should I send it back?

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

I'm actually having the same issue sort of. But, I was having the same issue with my stock water damaged battery I just replaced. My charger port is really worn out all of the sudden and doesn't always want to charge. But I've noticed with both batteries, that it will say it's charging, while the battery % still drops. This was more of a problem on the other dead battery though. I didn't check the status in settings while this was happening with the new battery.

I purchased a replacement Samsung usb cord and also bought a Blackberry cord. The BB cord fit in much more snugly but wouldn't charge the phone. Using the BB cord with the phone powered off, the battery icon would pop up then go right back off the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iEmDan:
I have the same problem you do, I'd suggest getting your USB port replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] downtowncharliebrown:
As in on the phone correct? Not the port that plugs into the wall..?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iEmDan:
Yes the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ChadBFlores:
Mine is pretty insanely worn, missing one gold bar, slit, thingy, how much does it cost to get that done?? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] galets:
When I have phone playing something in a car while plugged into USB charger, and display is constantly on, I also do see slight discharge
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] galets:
good battery

I got this battery and it is awesome. Already lasted 10 hours and still at 68%. Don't care about vanity too much, but packaging and overall looks are very respectable, looks expensive. For 11 bucks it's a steal, I strongly recommend.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LemonHead2089:
I have one 1800mah oem battery still in the package I'm trying to get rid of. works on the galaxy s. I'm getting the S3 soon. if anyone is interested in it, please PM me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cooptx:
I know I am bringing up an old thread, but I wanted to throw out another battery option. I haven't tried it, but it looks about right.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
Has anyone suffered SOD with their a100? Ive only had mine for a week now and its driving me Mad! Any fixes??
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] sham63:
The first A100 I bought would not wake up from standby. I had to take it back and get another one. This one has worked fine.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
I will give it a few more days. Wish there was a concrete answer on what causes it as almost all honeycomb tabs seem tp be plagued by it. I changed my screen timeout to never and no lockups yet....will post my results here.

I meant to ask how long did your screen have to be off before it was unresponsive?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zerofx:
Same thing happened on my initial one. Tried doing a bunch of things to fix it like restoring it and downloading the newest firmware from another thread and nothing worked. Exchanged it and the new one works just fine.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
Going to exchange this morning, do you guys run yours with wifi policy set to sleep when screen off?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
exchanged....will report back...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] sham63:
My wifi is set to be on during sleep.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
Ok so about 8 hours so far, no sleep of death yet. Though I haven't tried leaving it idle for more than 2 hours..

I unboxed, booted, updated both updates to 3.2.1, charged to full. Then rooted. Played a bit, currently have wifi set as it was default "sleep when screen off" though I most likely will be changing that to never sleep when I'm travelling.

On a side note..I used to use whatsapp to text with my wife for free when I'm out of the country. But our one year is up and can't really justify paying twice for it for the amount we use it. Is there an alternative to whatsapp that doesn't slaughter battery life? I was going to go with kik messenger but it was causing massive drain in my testing..just running in the background. Also tried IMSY and I think its garbage.

Would love others opinions :) were also looking to video chat if we can since I now have a ffc. But she will be on the PC. Are skype and tango the best choices?

Wish there was an all in one app that could text/call/video call over wifi with android users as well as pc...does it exist?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
Google voice allows you to text; GroveIP allows you to make calls using Google voice, Talk allows you to chat and I also believe video chat.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
Can i use the same account on multiple devices? Will chk it out!

Edit: only avail in the US :(
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
I have used it in Span to call home.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
Ok so i think were gonna use tango for calling i found a fix for upsidown camera :-D ;-)

Now to find a free push messaging app i can use on my tab and my phone...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
Just to update this in case anyone is interested,

We will be using Tango for free calls and voice chat...awesome app..I highly reccomend.

Also will be using LiveProfile for messaging, alternative to whatsapp and completely free....also highly reccomend!

So far no sleep issues and I'm at 91% after 14hours of sleep with wifi always on :)

Looks like my first device was faulty..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ytwytw:
Hi everyone

I got a tough issue that...

No matter what i download in the Android Market, after clicking DOWNLOAD, it gives me

DOWNLOAD Unsuccessful, Error Code -101

I backup my rom and completely wipe out back to stock, no luck

does anyone have the same issue? would you plz share how to fix it?

(I know i can download via Web Store, but I couldnt update app >.< :mad:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevessvt:
I have this also. Its account related. My wife has a RAZR I put my account on her phone, same 101 error, put her account on my phone, apps load fine. I just called google market and there tier one guy couldnt figure it out, so he is bumping it up to tier 2 and should respond back with an email in a day or two. yay. I been ROM swapping today, must be all the apps Ive d/l over and over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ytwytw:
it got fixed after 12am EST

interesting...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sebarkh:
So mine should get fixed in half an hour...

I have the same error...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
Same thing happened to me. Time seemed to be what fixed it. Worked the next day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phillybizzle:
when using gummy from I get market error 491 and cause of that I went back to stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ItzTime:
Hi all,

I'm a new registered member here but just want to start by saying i've read MANY, MANY threads here the last few days...probably 6 hours worth and all I can say is this forum is awesome! I decided to take the plunge and root my first phone and install my first rom knowing I had read a TON. Long story short, everything worked to perfection!

I rooted my phone first and after reading up on a few different roms I ended up going with Mikeyinid's 2.3.6 debloated rom and then flashing the Hercules Kernel. Again, everything went to perfection. I then read up on ROM manager and Titanium Backup...d/l'ed and installed both of those apps from the Market. As i'm starting to get more apps and add more things to my phone I realized at some point tmobile will send another OTA update..in the 1st quarter of this year (from what i've read) which contains ICS 4.0. Because i'm really loving this ROM from Mikey, i'd rather hold off and wait for a modded and debloated ICS version even if that's months after the release by TMO OTA.

Anyway, getting to my question....one of the threads I read on here was regarding being "rooted" and having TMO send an OTA update. From what i've read you'll lose your rooting AND you'll get RE-BLOATED. I prefer DE-BLOATING over rebloating..on both my phone and my stomach. However, my stomach needs a lot more rooting then my phone at this point. :D

Anyway, In the thread there were a few ways to prevent receiving updates from TMO after you've rooted, one of which is to locate a couple of files in the system folder (apk files) back them up with ES ROOT or something similar and delete them. The problem is....I've checked both drives that show up in Windows explorer for my phone and there is NO SYSTEM FOLDER anywhere.

Was the system folder deleted in this particular ROM and if so, I assume I don't have to worry about those "apk files", and won't receive TMO OTA updates anyway, right? Or am I missing something completely? :confused:

Thank you very much in advance any response is greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
You wont see that folder if you connect to pc.. Only within the phone using root explorer or any other file manager that can access it.. And like always, soon after ics release.. There will be a original odex version of the update or deodex. Either odin or flashable through cwm :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ItzTime:
@ noodles, thank you. Your reply here on the forum was like the roms here....blazing! Thank you. I'm using ES FILE EXPLORER and didn't see the file anywhere which is what prompted me to connect my phone to my pc and see if I could see it there. Since you've said that file won't show on a pc I've reopened ES FILE EXPLORER and the file is still not there.

Now in the top/middle box in ES FILE EXPLORER it says "/SD CARD" so it appears it's showing me only files from the internal SD card? I've tried to change the directory it's showing but there's nothing else in there to change it to other then /SD CARD. I also did a search with ES FILE EXPLORER and nothing came up with system. But again, if i'm understanding this correctly it's only searching the "/SD CARD" location and I can't see any other way to change that.

I know Titanium Backup (Pro) would allow me to freeze the device application and prevent any OTA updates but from what i've read ES FILE EXPLORER should allow me to locate the two files..backup and delete them. Any ideas? And thanks again for your time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ItzTime:
UPDATE:

Please disregard my post. I've searched every prompt in ES FILE EXPLORER and found you have to click the "FAVORITES" tab in order to see the system files. In the drop box which is a directory box I would of thought I could change it there, but you can't. You have to hit the "favorites" button and then you'll see all the other goodies. :p Thanks noodles...you helped me out and I learned another new thing...that those files can't be searched on a PC. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Never used that file manager :-) simple with root explorer, straight to the point.. Anyways, youre welcome. You can pm if you need help..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ItzTime:
@ Noodles...thanks again...I appreciate the willingness to help. After playing around with it for 30 mins. I actually like the interface of ES FILE MANAGER. Root explorer is a paid app and while it isn't much there are a lot of paid apps and before you know it you can drop a lot of money with 4 and 5 dollar apps adding up so I was going for a non-paid option and ES FILE MANAGER did what I needed and easily. I moved both wssync.apk files to my external SD and then deleted the files from the system/app folder.

Now hopefully no OTA updates from TMO will affect my phone. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txcforever:
My brother has a Nexus One and just yesterday the power button of the device decided to stop working. The problem is that being a total dumb ass, he decided to turn off the device so he could take the sim card and put it in an other phone. So even though I could just install an app on his phone and call it a day, now I'm stuck with a turned off Nexus that I can't get to power on.

I tried the battery removing and re-inserting trick several times to no avail. I plug it to a usb slot on my pc (I also tried with a charger), and when a green light appears, I remove the battery and insert it back but nothing happens. I tried different timings (as fast as possible, wait for the green light to shut down, wait for the blinking orange/green to come out) but still the phone remains dead. So what on earth am I doing wrong? Also on my Xperia Play the charging light is orange, is the light on Nexus different or does it simply refuses to charge the battery?

Is there a different way to power on the device? If not (and since I absolutely SUCK at soldering) can I just replace the faulty part with this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-Nexus...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3a6d7d3d29

From what I saw in some videos, the above part is easily accessible simply by removing the battery tray. But still I would prefer avoiding opening up the device since knowing my brother he will probably bust the phone in a couple of months anyway.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txcforever:
Not a single reply? Come on fellas, was my question so difficult?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moto211:
I had multiple nexus ones that had this problem and never found a way to power them on. The last time it happened I warranty claimed it and sold it since I didn't want to deal with this problem once I was out of warranty.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Your battery is charged, so the light is green.

First plug in the charger, then put in the battery.

Yes, you can replace the flex cable, power button is on it.

All simple answers, if you searched - you should definitely know them. It would have saved you a week of waiting for me to write it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pay bac:
For me the battery trick only works after the charging light has changed to green and has been green for at least a couple of hours. For me it only works withe th charger plugged into a wall socket never worked when using a multi plug. Also if it doesnt work first go then i have to wait another couple of hours. Oh and the method that works for me is, pull th battery just slightly, green light goes out the quickly slip battery back in.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binkocd:
I had mine go out on me a few months ago and after a month of pins and needles and keeping a usb battery on hand for those "in case of" moment I just bought a new flex cable. Took all of 30 mins following a guide on youtube and it works great now. It all depends on how long you plan on keeping the nexus one. For me, I had 4 to 5 months until my upgrade, so it seemed worth it. Seeing as there is no news on the GN coming to tmob anytime soon, I might have to hang on a little longer.

Other than that, take the back off and fiddle around with it. Only help I can offer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jgeezy24:
Question of the day. Why do quadrant scores suck on this device? Gs2 I'm getting above 5300s and this dude has a better processor. It should be killing the Gs2 and I'm only getting 3200s. Uncalled for I say! Maybe someone with better knowledge can explain?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Our processor is not better. The gs2 has the best there is right.now. and our quadrant does not suck ove gotten over 4000 .

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Ours is very good and even though its clocked at 1.5 and the gs2 only at 1.2 the exynos is the best on the market period
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
+1 on that. Exynos is better. The OC'd gs2 is getting over 9000 on some benches like cfbench. But we have LTE so I'll take a slower bench and faster dl/ul speeds :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jgeezy24:
Interesting. I didn't know the chipsets in the two were that much different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zelendel:
Not to mention quadrent scores mean nothing at all as they can be boosted but make the phone lag. Only real test is real world use. All benchmark scores can be fooled into giving a high score without improving real performance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
+1 as i have stated previously. Quadrant scores are like puting an elevator in an outhouse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
And I could use both right now......:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Riebart:
I'm a little concerned by that need of yours...

I agree with what was already stated.

While synthetic benchmarks are handy to track relative performance increase/decrease of a device in certain situations, they shouldn't be a deciding factor in anything. They are one source of information that should contribute to an overall decision about device performance. They should be weighted heavily with real-world use and experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
The Adreno 220 is a better core than the Mali 400, but the Scorpion is a beefed up Cortex A8, so it's not as efficient as the Cortex A9 in the Exynos.

It's debatable as to which is more powerful in real world situations. They're pretty comparable. Skyrocket might have a slight edge in games, vanilla SGS2 has the edge in benchmarks. They're pretty close all around, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] enigma00:
+1

Quadrant scores are quite arbitrary and not reflective of the real world performance. For example, an SQL hack can get your score up by a few hundred points without a real world performance boost.

By the way, I never managed to get more than mid 3000 with the stock build on my SGS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] designfears:
Came here to say this. Also in real world usage I'll take a bigger screen and LTE over a couple fps on a graphically intensive game.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] minnime007:

usually im around 2800-3100 but sometimes it gets crazy fast and hit: (btw the slide to unlock thing is from a security app that i was playing with, i assure it its a gs2 skyrocket)

Hi,

I've been looking around for a folio-style case for my SGP5, and found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pu-Leather-...ccessories&hash=item3a6ec3ca80#ht_3414wt_1139

It looks pretty nice, and is reasonably priced, so I was wondering if anyone has gotten this, and if so, can you post comments on it?

I've bought a number of things on Ebay that ship from China, so I don't have a problem with waiting for the shipment :)...

Thanks,
