[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jim13524:
I've bought a bunch of 3rd party batteries for my previous phones (Nexus One, Sensation), and have found that they're pretty much all crap and any perceived gains are simply psychological. Actual batteries mAh ratings are often significantly exaggerated on the product labeling, this can easily be determined by peeling off the label and looking for serial and model numbers printed on the metal battery casing. Googleing these numbers brings up product data sheets from manufacturers in China with the actual mAh rating.

I now only buy OEM batteries as I think it's the only way of ensuring your getting what you think you are. Think of it this way, if Samsung could pack more mAh into a specific size, they probably would. The size of a battery is limited by the battery technology, so if you calculate the mAh/gram density of the OEM battery I would use that as a guideline. 3rd party batteries advertising densities higher than that are probably exaggerating the actual capacity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GPSRider:
Jim, completely agree, and have usually found non-OEM batteries to be total crap, however it's possible to find some that aren't. I bought some PowerGen batteries for my Nexus One about a year ago and they've given me performance on par with the OEM battery. I made that purchase based on positive reviews and since they only cost about $10 (IIRC), way cheaper than OEM, it was a good risk and deal. Worked for me. I'm hoping the QCell batteries will be the same, but haven't seen enough positive reviews to know yet...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] napes22:
I don't want to come off as a completely cynic (which I will), but the two people talking about these QCell batteries are named "ckang008" and "awong12." The latter of the two has 3 total posts on XDA, and "ckang" has a handful of posts since registering this past January (55 total) talking up these QCell batteries for all different devices. Again, they could both be very real people, but this thread to me seems like a bit of a hoax.

But if this thread in fact legit, I do agree with Jim and GPSRider as I have similar experiences with OEM vs non-OEM batteries in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teomor:
Any updates? I've bought 3rd party batteries before, for my HTC Sensation. Something similar, 2x1900mAh + charger, but theose were Anker, and they were pretty good. Lasted longer than the stock one.

I'm considering trying these as I find it very comfortable to have spare batteries and a battery charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
I can understand your skepticism. I am one hell of skeptical person too. But I do owe these Qcell batteries (I bought a pair with a charger) and have had them for 4/5 months now. No problems absolutely.

Take the 2050mah for granted. They are not any higher than stock. But the build quality is very good at least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
I've had great experience with my 2100 vzw extended battery but that's made by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhcp011235:
Hello,

I've been asked a million questions about this.

A) Use the fastboot files for 4.0.1 and do a flash-all and/or do it however you know how. You need to go back to STOCK.

B) Accept the OTA to 4.0.2

C) Let it reboot. Dont be scared. This is a nexus you wont be loosing anything.

D) Flash a 4.0.2 kernel with root enabled (http://www.box.com/s/xf6bz8f1j004bk0zc78a) Credit to Adrynalyne

E) Push the update to /cache/ as update.zip

F) Boot to stock recovery and flash the update

G) Profit

UPDATE: to fix root. Do the following after all is installed:

In order to fix su.

You can try to flash http://downloads.androidsu.com/super...ghi-signed.zip

If you get an assert failure.

You will need to unzip that. and put the su bin in place via recovery then set perm 04755 to it.

Hope this helps. Comes from chains

Hope this helps!

when i take a pic on 4.0.4 it shows up blue then it saves with the correct colors, does anyone have this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhcp011235:
Nope. I have never seen that. are you using a rom? or real 4.0.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scramjones496:
the real update 4.0.4, and how do i flash the newboot.img?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhcp011235:
You dont need to. If you are already running 4.0.4. You can flash the unprotected boot.img from my other thread.

fastboot flash boot imgname.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cosine83:
The 4.0.4 update.zip actually checks the boot so if you modify the boot sector (which is what the modified boot.img does) it won't pass the system verification without taking out the part where it verifies the boot section's SHA-1 in the updater script. The only real requirements are stock 4.0.2 radios, bootloader, and boot.

If you've unlocked you can:

- flash the 4.0.2 mysid zip file extracted from the .tgz using fastboot flash update [zip file's name]

- let it load up and reboot on its own

- go back into bootloader

- flash CWM

- choose to go into recovery mode,

- rename the 4.0.4 file to update.zip

- adb push to /data/media/

- choose flash zip from sdcard

- choose the update.zip option

It flashes fine this way. Just have to reflash CWM and flash the su zip.

Google Docs App on Android now allows for Offline caching.

Where is the offline file cached to?

I need to know in case there is a need to copy out to a SD Card.
[Android Apps and Games] klau1:
bump it up
[Android Apps and Games] oliver2ooi:
I went to /data/data/com.google.adndroid.apps.docs and opened all the folders in it like 'cache' etc but didn't find the exact files I saved for offline viewing.

Go take a look and tell me if yours are there.

edit: they are in '/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit' with no particular file extension. So I guess you would have to convert....
[Android Apps and Games] klau1:
no, it's not there for me either.

Worse yet, even when online, there seems to be no way to just DOWNLOAD the file.

So you can't truly use it like you can with DropBox.

What a disappointment, I was almost about to switch after I found out about Insync.

Edit: you are a genious!
[Android Apps and Games] klau1:
weird, that folder is not there. Even though there are other folders like it:

ie:

com.google.android.apps.maps

com.facebook.katana

edit:

On my Samsung Galaxy S, it appears to be in /sdcard/external_sd/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit
[Android Apps and Games] klau1:
The biggest problem now is figuring out which file is which once you have more than a couple files that are set to offline cache.
[Android Apps and Games] oliver2ooi:
does renaming them to .docs/xls/ect... help? or opening them with the adequate app?
[Android Apps and Games] klau1:
you have to know what file it is before you know what to rename them as. Seeing as how all files are named by number sequence, there are little to no clues as to what the cached file is.
[Android Apps and Games] oliver2ooi:
true

unless you have a ton of files to rename, you can always give it a try.

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

any luck with renaming them randomly?
[Android Apps and Games] klau1:
I haven't tried, but before you do, turning off Encryption for offline files might help !

alright will do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VibrantWind:
Hey guys,

Sorry if this question has been asked over and over already. I tried searching but cant seem to find a definite answer.

Is there a way to SIM Unlock the TELUS SGH-T989D? I already tried the unlockers on the market, including the ones that need Root, but they arent working.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance.

PS. For Telus S2X owners, how did you sim unlock your phone? (which website did you use to get unlock code)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Fdotg:
i know that the t-mobile version which i think is in the same boat, needs an unlock code that you have to get from your carrier or a website. I used a unlocked website cellunlock.net and use the discount code android50.

i also did my research and this was the only answer i could find
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
Obviously you simply need a unlocking code to unlock this phone. I unlocked it on the spot from a phone store that was not from telus but all he did was that he made a phone call to request for a code.

AT&T skyrocket phone users have trouble unlocking their phones because AT&T claims that their phones are specifically designed for their carrier only which I think is probably untrue.

Anyway, I did unlock my LG G2X using a site called unlockthatphone.com at $15. Try that site. Also, I think it is a good idea to call Telus as well directly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Pickup the phone dial 611. Ask t-mobile.. Tell them your going somewhere outside the country and you need unlock code.. It should arrive 3 to 7 days in your email you give them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VibrantWind:
Thanks guys. I just went ahead and got the unlock code from a website for $20.

I am interested to know if it is possible to copy the contents of a carrier GSM sim to an R-UIM card?

I have a CDMA phone with GSM capabilities and accepts R-UIM cards. I would like to use it with a SIM but for obvious reasons the phone doesnt read SIM cards, only UIM standards.

I would like to know if there are any methods to copy the GSM sim application of a carrier SIM to the GSM portion of a UIM card.

I am by no means knowledgable on Smartcards so if this question is idiotic, please forgive me.

Yea did you get video working with any of the other apps. I didn't play around with it that much before I uploaded it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
I've been playing with porting MIUI w/ decksICS here and there. If I fix the landscape/physical keyboard problem then the software keyboard breaks.

On your version of the MIUI port that didn't have the landscape problem was the software keyboard working?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
yeah video wouldnt work for me but i only tried the native video and qq player, no porn on that rom for now lol

i didnt try it for long but im gonna reflash it later and really check it out

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
I just did a quick port directly from the current Epic version of MIUI v4 and it seems to run pretty smooth. Some small graphical glitches here and there. Launcher crashes when applying themes but themes do get applied correctly.

Everything that doesn't work in the Epic rom and Decks ICS rom don't work in this one though(4g, wireless tether, usb storage and etc).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Quetzalcoatl:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mcarrion78:
I wouldn't mind checking that out if you'd like to share
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zenulator:
The g2 version doesn't have the graphical glitches. But you need to follow the how to in the epic 4g thread to fix for cdma and mms.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
I'll try that one out, after keeping this one on my phone all day I realized that there is alot more wrong with it then I mentioned.

When I posted I had only tested calling someone by dialing the number. The dialer and sms buttons do not show up in the contacts. The only way to call a contact is to copy the number from contacts and paste it in the dialer. There is no superuser or terminal so you can only fix the market by sideloading the apps or flashing some zips I found for the apps. It is missing a few google apps. And the graphical glitches are insane when trying to type on the physical keyboard.

edit: Also, I just realized I was using the Epic thread when I was trying to port from the other phones and having problems. The CDMA/SMS/MMS fixes worked well but the fixes for landscape and software keyboard never worked correctly for me(either one or the other worked but not both).

edit edit: I can post up the Zip if someone wants it, but really at this point it is not usable. Just fun to play with.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Quetzalcoatl:
i wanna play with it :p
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
Heres a version based off of the G2 & Decks ICS.

I added superuser and terminal to it, need those to apply the market fix from Zen's other thread.

This version has working USB storage, the contacts app actually allows you to make phone calls, has 4way reboot and does not seem to have all the graphical glitches as my last one.

MMS isn't working(I might have missed something making the port, I will try the fix again).

Launcher still crashes when applying themes(but applies the themes)

And all other bugs from Deck's ICS remain...

http://www.mediafire.com/?3z3ziq3axw7sk92

I'm going to play with it for the next day or two myself and see how it runs.....

Edit: This version seems a bit more laggy
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ejedias:
Any special way to flash this or just like normal flashing? I know sometimes with miui you have to back up the entire sd card and wipe it. Got a little confused while reading through is the g2 version miui?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
Yeah, just flash through recovery(wipe everything). And yeah it is a port of the MIUI v4 for G2.

It has less bugs, but lags more then the every other phone I tried to make a port from.
