Hi nexus s 4g people i am being sold a nexus s4g clean esn for 175 like new in box. Is it a good deal?

Hell yeah that's good. But how do you know the esn is clean?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] das_webos_transformer:
yes im somewhat of a noob...

ok but really, about a year ago gota crap android phone... 6months later, a little hacking and web os going open source(also got a palm pixi for sprint) and ive decided that android sucks on 256Mib of ram. web os, however does not. thus my asking is even possible to put web os, to its full extent on an android phone. i relize it might nedd tons of work and coding and such but i do know a little about linux and can learn quickly but theres no time limit. kinda of a spare time/miss 3.5" of screen kinda thing...

any suggestions??? thanks in advance

wrong forum? couldnt find anything like this
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] xHausx:
At the moment I would say it's highly unlikely, but Web OS hasn't actually been open-sourced just yet. If I remember right they don't expect to have everything ready for release until around fall.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wardo5757:
For everyone wondering if the original razr can accept the razr maxx battery, the answer is YES! Ive taken both of mine apart, and it would appear that the battery compartments are identical, but the one on the maxx is deeper ofcourse. So then I took the rear cover from the max and put it on the razr, it fit perfectly but there was a gap between the sim card door and cover, the gap isn’t that bad as you can see in the pictures. So, if you can find a maxx battery and rear cover, do the mod! And for all asking if it would be worth it. The answer is hell yes!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marsonist:
Is it possible, by chance, to swap battery doors as well? It would be great to make a full conversion using only OEM components.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tycol:
Thanks! It looks great!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxspark89xx:
Yeah, because I am guessing that gap may hinder the water-proofing characteristics of the phone, perhaps?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wardo5757:
i would assume so, howerver i dont know how to pull the door off...all moto did was add more plastic to surround the bigger battery on the maxx. everything else is identical. i took the cover from razr maxx and put it on the razr, it fit perfectly butit would push in to the battery. i think if you had the bigger battery the rear cover would be solid as on the razr as it is on the razr maxx.

if i can find the battery, or if anyone has a link, i will buy the maxx battery, cover and door. i want to try this out also...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxspark89xx:
Also to add, as I've mentioned here on the support forums:

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/4c3288997e?post=4c3288997e&start=31

That Motorola should provide a send in service to upgrade your phone's battery - keeping your warranty - for a small fee (cost for parts, labor, and shipping; i.e. ~ $100?)

If I was in that scenario, I would certainly pay for that - beats shelling out for a new phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wardo5757:
while i dont agree with your reason for motorola offering a battery upgrade on the droid razr. I DO agree that they should, they should do it for parts and labor, it would go a LONG way in customer relations.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HaVoK C89:
Hmm... Guess I'll be on the hunt for a busted up RAZR MAXX here after awhile lol.

Excellent, thank you for being brave enough to try this out. Now we just have to hope that OEM parts will become available - sooner, rather than later.

Question is , How can find a battery to replace "my Bootloadlocker " ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
So happy to hear about this. Now i need to hunt for maxx battery/back cover at ebay.:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wardo5757:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78gJRP8NzRA

this is the guide I used. Taking the cover off is very easy. When the batteries, covers and doors become available, the coversion is going to be very simple, I estimate 10 minutes max and you're done!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mydoom:
So, How can you pull in back?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pm1066:
I too am interested in how the reassembly went. Did you use a tool like in the video? Did you feel any looseness in the covers after they were put back on?

I've heard of some people using just their fingernails to pry it open, and some guys who have had the covers not go on very tightly or fully clip in after they reassemble. It'd be nice to know the safest/least damaging method.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
Damn that looks easier than half the xbox repairs ive done :lol:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] furbymac:
I just ran my fingernail along the crack starting from the bottom right near the search button all the way to the top and the cover shaped up very easily. I didn't pull the tape off though. It snapped right back into place very easily and doesn't seem loose or anything. The razr isn't really waterproof it is water resistant. So opening the cover shouldn't really have any affect on that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wardo5757:
assembly is very easy too... the battery is covered in some real sticky stuff so it would be impossible to have a lose cover, and the edges snap back into place. it looks just like it did before i took it apart. on the razr i used the same tool that you see in the video, but for some reason i couldnt get it going on the maxx. so i got one of my daughter thin flat hair clips to start the unclipping and it was fine from there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
Pretty sure you remove the tape but the kit comes with it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gasolara2002:
There is no tape to be pulled. Its adhesive that is on the both sides of the battery and that is it. I have no clue of any tape at all and I just did my conversion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
Can anyone run a head to head battery life comparison with a factory MAXX to confirm a non-counterfeit battery?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] matesims23:
1) I'd love to have a MAXX, but I think moto should have done it for free because they knew the maxx was coming but sold the razr anyway

[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
still cost $130ish?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gmack523:
Yes, around that much. I decided to get the MAX chassis as well to cut down on having to make any mods to the existing one so it was a little more.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
i cant justify for myself putting that much more money into the phone..

if it were like $80, i would prolly do it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tech_head:
I bought the whole kit including the new hold down so I don't need to do anything but take apart and re-assemble.

Since I don't qualify for an upgrade anytime soon.

This will allow me to keep my insurance, although it won't show Maxx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gasolara2002:
I just posted a thread today in the market place about trading one. I have 2 available in my office. Hence the picture.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dewired:
I managed to convert my razr to a maxx last night with parts from maxx purchased from craigs list. This is a simple process. My hobico heat gun came in handy to warm up the adhesive tape enough to pull the battery out. The only complication was knocking off the volume rocker during the parts change. I didn't notice it until I had put the phone back together.

The interesting part is after installing the battery the model number reads droid raz maxx.

Thanks for starting this thread wardo!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gmack523:
I just finished converting mine with the kit from Cellphone Repair Shop that came today. So far so good. My only concern was the door didn't seem like it would stay shut but once the final back piece was on it applied enough pressure to keep it closed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sedariya11:
When did you order it? I also ordered mine but it didnt come. And hows the process and what r the changes in the battery?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Notyours:
I just finished mine. Everything is fine now, but some tips:

1. Watch and follow the video.

2. Be careful of pulling the camera bezel off. It is very thin around the lens and can break easily.

3. If you didn't buy the additional frame expect to do some grinding. Even though I did a loose fit and it looked like I could get away without grinding, I could not. Be patient grinding and expect to do more than you think - but make sure you do not break the frame or screw up the holes the plastic pins sit in.

4. I thought I could get away without grinding, so I put the battery in. When it didn't fit, I tried to grind it assembled. Do NOT do this! I hit my battery with my grinder.

5. My T3 driver did not fit any of the T3 screws. I needed to use a T4 - but this could be because I bought a cheap set of Torx drivers.

I took my time and it took me between 45 minutes and an hour.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gasolara2002:
It needs a t5 torx for the bottom black screws and a t4 for the rest of the screws. If you had to do all of that then that is not an OEM kit.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Notyours:
I got mine from here:

http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.co...zr-battery-conversion-kit-to-droid-razr-maxx/

I was just letting people know what to expect if they ordered the same kit. The site says it's a t3, but it's really a t4. They didn't sell the black chassis when I ordered, so if you don't get one, expect to do some grinding.

The battery and back housing is OEM and that's all I care about.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
do you think you lost some water resistance in the conversion process?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gasolara2002:
I have taken several apart and its t4 and t5 screws. I would get the chassis because flex will happen and you will end up with a cracked LCD as I will show you below.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gasolara2002:
The phone isn't water resistant. I think it is false advertising to be honest. This is water damage on a motherboard I had to replace for one of my customers below. Notice how water got in and messed up most of the components on the board.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] randyang:
Razr maxx's battery dimension

Hai razr maxx owners, it'd be great if someone can help measure the razr maxx's eb40 battery, and share the dimension L x W x T.

Thanking in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
Why do you need that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] randyang:
Thinking about slapping it in another motorola phone. For the contacts, a simple soldering skill would suffice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
There is some other shops that sell this kit in europe? (shipping fee are a lot from canada <.<)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbyoshi147:
Hey everyone, I stumbled across this thread when trying to maximize my Droid Razr battery life... When I removed the battery from the Maxx, I actually put the battery "frame" (the one that the sd card cover attached to it) along with the battery into my razr, and had no gap. Don't know if anyone figured that out yet, but thought I'd share.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xboxhaxorz:
i am trying to find the eb 40 battery but i cannot locate it, only ebay but its from china so will take a while

any USA stores have it in stock??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
The only down side to this is that tiny gap at the sim door opens the internals of the phone up to everything, from dirt/grime to the most detrimental - water.

Definitely an awesome mod... but at what cost. The extended battery is well worth it, but not if you accidentally slop water over the side of your drink or spill a drop while pouring that happens to land close enough to your phone to splash a tiny bit on your sim door.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iBolski:
That's why when you order the MAXX kit, you also should get the frame as well so it closes the gap.

I'm still a little cautious on doing this myself at this time. I saw the video on cellphone repair shop's website, and it just makes me nervous trying to pry open the phone.

Also, I have a 2-year warranty via SquareTrade, so I don't want to void that either.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sedariya11:
hi buddy, do you want to sell your maxx kit..i have ordered it mine but seems its still take more time.. And if you are not converting it then if you want to sell pl let Mr know..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jonnyzlio:
Well I thought that paying around $200 for more battery time is ridiculous! I bought the slim Motorola battery extender for $24 and bought the nexus tab for $200! this certainly made more sense!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spencettu:
If anyone has an EB20 battery they want to sell from their conversion can you please message me. Thanks.

do I need to upgrade software too

I have done the conversion and use Smart Actions to control some settings battery life isnt super great compared to original so I was wondering if I have to do some sort of software fix/update so that it knows there is a bigger battery installed. Is Smart Actions still a good program to use for various configurations. the phone is rooted but using the OTA Jellybean still and quite happy with that. Is there another app to use for battery life extension. thanks

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
It's too bad we're dealing with a terrible company that don't give two ****s about its customers. If they did, they'd have unlocked their BL long ago. So don't expect them at all to be helpful or to be able to get a battery or door for your reg RAZR. Will probably be easier to get a aftermarket mod when that comes available.....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cruiserdude:
Hmm, very interesting, this is great news. I've been quite interested in this, as I just got a RAZR last saturday as an exchange for a Charge (went through 4, all with data issues), and while I wanted the Maxx, I was quite glad to get the RAZR for free. Anyway, I really do need more battery life, I can make it last all day if I don't use often or keep the screen on for long periods of time, but I like to browse. Anyway, hopefully Moto will offer this as a service that won't affect the warranty, but I'm not counting on it anytime soon. Hopefully these parts will be available soon.

I wanted to ask you what differences there are in the back housing? Specifically, this part. It appears that there is a bit more material, and seems to cover the battery terminals more. Is this in fact the case? I know we'll need to replace the battery, sd/sim card door, and battery cover, but will we need to replace the back housing as well? Just wondering, as this will add to the cost and complexity of the conversion. Not much mind you, but still another part to track down and a few more steps that may scare some folks off.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rkeller62:
My question was whether or not the aluminium frame was deeper on the Maxx. Sounds like it isn't. Also, could the SIM/SD Card door be replaced without having to remove the back frame? If not, seems like a modified Maxx back cover could be created to close that small gap for retrofitting a Razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] yyhd:
