[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
There are factory Samsung batteries with chargers also. I wonder if they truly are Samsung batteries..... Especially for $19.99 for 3 with a charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rchapoteau:
The ones I bought were supposed to be 2500 official Samsung's but I noticed that the labels looked phoney, and then I looked at the serial #'s and noticed that they were all the same.

I used them while I was in Vegas because I really needed to on the trip. I figure they are probably about 1500 mah based on usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
The ones I mention have Samsung serial/ part numbers with Samsung labels. The part numbers do differ by the last letter in comparison to the one in my phone.But for $20, it might be worth a shot. I know though, if it's too good to be true, its probably too good.....To

And of course you recommend the batteries sold by your friend Kevikev.com right/? They ruined your Evo? When you were shilling on Macrumors you had an iPhone. Do you ever stop peddling your products on these forums/.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Who is this directed at?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lindenhurst:
He/she is a shill on all these forums pushing Kevikev.com and their Yoobao and Chinao stuff. He/she has been booted off of other forums such as Macrumors, and hopefully will be booted her as soon as the moderators figure out what is going on.

In my opinion Yoobao cases are junk. Not sure about the batteries but I would doubt that they are as good as OEM.

Oh that's tight, Gnote said they were better than OEM.!! Gimme a break.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
Third party sellers are selling them for $30 and Amazon had it for $35 but they are OOS. I think for about $35 I'd go with the OEM since it would be "safer". I wish there was a better stand though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ship It City:
ive seen some for $30 but they just didnt list the spare battery with it . I just figured I would rather be safe it was listed on this one. and yeah the stand is lame!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I completely agree that you get what you pay for, but with that said I've personally never had bad luck with these batteries. I also disagree with the statement saying they only last a couple weeks. My Vibrant has been running on them for about a year now. I bought a 3+charger deal like this for about $8 and have no regrets. They didnt last as long as the stock battery, and thats where the get what you pay for part comes in. They last about 75% as long, but for 3 of them for less then shipping alone would have cost on a OEM, you can't argue with that. Sure you run a risk of the battery bulging and ruining a handset. I would assume this is a higher risk then using OEM, but honestly you rarely hear of these from the horses mouth like you do here. Infact this is the first for me. I ordered a similar deal off of amazon for $16-$17 shipped. We'll see how they do when they get here. Point is, if I had the money to drop on a ridiculas battery, I probably would, but I have a family and can't afford $100-$200 for a couple spare batteries right now when that money can be far better used on my family.

Oh by the way, just because it says OEM doesnt mean it is. I have a stack of knock offs that are all samsungs according to the lable, but are obviously fakes. They still work fine, but not as well as OEMs. When they first start getting imported they will be priced close to real OEMs, then will drop the price to make you think you ar getting a heck of a deal. If I wanted OEM, I'd have to get from Samsung, ATT, or other reputable dealer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Ive been trying to figure this out for a while. Recently playing with a friends DX he had juicedefender pro installed. Within JDP there is a setting that JDP will periodically scan to see if it is connected to a certain BT device if not then it keeps BT off.

What Im looking for is a profile for either tasker or autoit that will let me do that. I want to be able to have it auto connect to my H/U in my vehicle and once it doesnt see the signal anymore turn off BT.

Thanks in advance. Before somebody says search...I have posted for help in the tasker forums, here, and two other forums for help. I figure with teh knowledge here somebody will know where to point me.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DaveC1964:
I looked at my free RAM and out of 1 GB I only have around 350 mb free!

That and I disabled ALL widgets!

I looked at running apps with advanced task manager and there is all of this crapware like Pulse etc running. I cleared memory and got some back but not much. As soon as I turn the tab back on all of the junk comes back and drains my battery 10% overnight with wifi OFF on a wifi only tab.

It is ridiculous to only have less than half of my RAM available. On my phone I lost half of that to bloat too. I bet if this tab had 2GB of RAM they would fill 1.75 GB with crap.

What gives? Why do they insist on doing this and not letting ME choose what I want running on MY tablet? Can I get rid of or freeze all of this junk?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
They are just cached and automatically freed up when an application needs more RAM. But I do agree that Andriod does a very aggressive caching even on apps never used. Why not remove it with TB?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TarjeiB:
Free ram has no purpose. It will take and free RAM as it sees fit. If you force it to use less ran, it will run slower. Let it manage the ram itself, this is how Unix has worked since the start and it's working perfectly fine.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
+ 1 on this. It's seriously easy to get a bit neurotic about system resources. If your tab is running fine just enjoy it and don't sweat the numbers.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DaveC1964:
Yeah but I don't need Pulse, buddies now, family locator, Samsung game hub blah blah running and eating up CPU and battery either (as well as internal flash memory). I will never use that crap so I might as well get it gone. I am not sure why it opens stuff up that I never use or never have.

Is there a list somewhere on what can be nixed and what can't?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] freewilli:
I would like to bring this thread up again.

I do have the same problem as DaveC1964.

All I want is a "clean looking" tablet without Google+, Pulse, SocialHub,GameHub etc.

I also hate that those apps connect to the web. I know you can disable that, but I want them gone.

I only use the internet browser, youtube and pdf app.

How do I uninstall those preinstalled annoyences?

Is there a way to do this without a custom ROM?

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aridoasis:
you'll need to root your tab and use titanium back to remove the bloatware. be careful with what you remove though as it may affect other apps. always make a backup.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dfkt_:
Best you initially just freeze the offending apps with Titanium Backup instead of uninstalling/deleting them right away - that way you can always re-enable them if your system should become unstable or start acting up.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GadgetMe:
As long as you do not run the apps and dosen't setup accounts they are not accessing the web i think.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Ads1969:
I love Pulse!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] freewilli:
Thank you for your answers.

I am going to root my tab and use titanium backup afterwards.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] irmani:
Startup Manager

you can easily sort out all the bloatware, unneeded startup apps and make your tab fast I've tested it does a great job

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Malarie:
So I bought this Gnex and played with it a little bit. I am not a developper.. I managed to unlock, root and try a couple ROMS so far (Foxhound, AOKP Builds 21 and MS3, Eagleblood, etc..)

When looking for ROMS, i have noticed it was possible to flash radios.. What is a radio exactly? Is it the phone antenna? Is it possible to get a better signal by flashing the radio?

What is the band?

Also, Why would I flash my kernel? wth Freds KErnel? (not sure about his name) Whats so special about flashing kernels?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkl1993:
Radio - i think it has to do with the WiFi, bluetooth, etc. Not sure.

Baseband - has to do with the phone's cellular radio and its supposed to give you better reception.

Kernel - there are lots of kernels for the GN, every kernel is different. you could overclock (make it faster) or underclock (little slower and conserves more battery)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blostorm:
Radios will help reception and data transfer speed and all that.

Kernels are mostly used for overclocking and underclocking to save battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Let's clean this up a bit, shall we?

I get the impression sometimes that we (speaking about everybody here in the 3D forums recently) make this place sort of "unfriendly" with sarcasm and troll posts, rudeness when people post in the wrong section, create duplicate threads, so on and so forth...

First of all, I will say that I am fully aware of my own contribution to this, lol. BUT... i was thinking earlier about when I started out over on SDX and how friendly and eager people were to help me when I was new to the android/Linux scene (although I still had somewhat of a basic understanding of it because of my knowledge of windows, Linux and especially android was a new world to me and much of the knowledge I have picked up since then was simply because people were so willing to offer help and their own knowledge - regardless of "noob" questions (when I simply could have used a search button).

Yeah, for whatever reason you just want to punch people through the computer sometimes when they post in the wrong section or make "hAlp my phonez is teh broken" threads that can easily be fixed with some searching around. But I think we should try to be a little bit more of a friendly and tolerant (and therefore tolerable... ironically) of the things that go on around here.

Anyways, just some dumb ass rant post. But I thought I would share this thought because I feel the action of it could be a positive thing around here.

oouuut.

So, I will be nicer to people. Let's all try this, shall we?

except for freeza.... i am still trolling you.... on a regular basis. lulz

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that since there's been a flood of Android phones hitting the market over the last year and a half or so, there's also a flood of people who come with it. They buy a new Android device, hear about 'rooting' and jump on here. Not everyone knows the meaning of respect, and they expect things to just be handed to them. There's definitely more idiots on here than before, but also just more people overall. No matter where you go, the more people around, the more idiots there will be. It's unfortunate indeed.

I try to be helpful, but it's definitely aggravating when someone just flat out doesn't read a damn thing, and asks a question that's clearly typed in the OP. When I joined, I didn't know ANYTHING about rooting, ROMs, etc. but I read a few things and learned.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cloaker:
There are a few forums that I use that have a n00b section with zero intolerance for the replies to questions in said sub-forum, maybe that would be nice, then we can segregate the n00bs and flame more well-known users for asking stupid things. Lol

---------- Post added at 06:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

I used to get on here several times a day, reading these forums, but it took me a long time to actually register because the few immature people that start a fight in the thread made it look irritating. Like whoever posted in the recent ICS thread about how the OP was information from another thread, even though the OP was several pages long.

Who cares? It's something else to read. That's why most of us are here, for some form of entertainment.
[HTC EVO 3D] Terepin:
n00bs != newbies

Newbies don't know things and after TRYING to figure it out themselves, they have ended up, seeking answers for uncommon situations. This is OK.

n00bs, on the other hand, don't know ****, they don't give a crap about learning and expecting from others to give all the answers on a gold plate without moving a finger on their foot. This is not OK.

The sooner pseudomoralistic idiots realize this, the sooner will be this place be as it used to be before. If not, I'll continue to troll n00bs for my own amusement and you can kiss my shiny ass.

[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Every time I see someone say "cool story bro" I add them to my ignore list. Just added another..

That said XDA has gone steadily down hill. I remember when I first came here I was actually afraid to post. Now XDA is so addicted to member counts that they let just about anything go. Had a guy yesterday asking how to hack Amazon this is the crowd being attracted now. Its a shame and like many others i'm looking for the next XDA. Problems is the asses will just following. BTW I have no idea what the OP posted because he is already on my ignore list as it the poster below him now.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Yes, the "an answer is easily found by a very fast google search but I'm too lazy to do it or just expect you tell me" crowd is the problem I agree. Even if they are not the majority, when I see a new thread or question that seems like an easy find, I get really mad because I had to take the time to learn and search on my own. I've been on here since 2006 and I guess because of all the new androids out there you get people who are not technologically inclined trying to do technicological things. :)

However, I agree it has gotten out of control, and the mods are unwilling or unable to do anything about the newbs or the a%*holes that are attacking devs when they know nothing about any of this development stuff.

/pulls out soap box and stands on it

first off you wouldnt believe the amount of buttholes and douchebags mods put up with on a daily basis. most often we only get called in when there is a problem, so everyone wants to talk about how things have changed and how it sucks putting up with the idiots. put on mod glasses, i would 75% of the people on here, instead of just reporting a troll or a n00b posting in the wrong spot or a spammer, they in turn flame, troll, spam the person that just needs reporting. so that means, we then have to clean everything back up, figure out who to get rid of and sort the whole situation. its not fun. if you want to see things change, be the change. report posts, dont flame the idiots, dont feed the trolls, just move on with your day. we arent afraid to boot people, we arent about "registration numbers", we are about supporting developers. but we cant be in every thread at once or all the time. if you see something out of place, report it, everyone has that ability. but most of us just return the favor of flaming people.

i became a mod, because i believed that a difference could be made. i reported posts, before i was a mod, i was helpful to people, i tried to teach n00bs the correct way of doing things instead of treating them like trash. yes there is an over abundance of users now due to the influx of android devices, most of the new users dont know anything, and they wont ever learn anything if we all are douchebags to them.

if XDA is becoming something that it wasnt in the past, its because we as a user base are allowing it to be so. be a respectful user, help people out, if someone is doing something they arent supposed to report them. serisously, how are we supposed to know whats going on if we arent notified?

/steps off soap box
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
I think a large problem too is it really does feel like the mods play favorites. I don't want to bring up the whole Chad.Goodman thing, and how he was reported and pulled in a matter of hours, yet, when he reported other non-GPL complying dev's nothing was done to them. Or my own situation, having important threads detailing hostile actions from one particular user being deleted without any reply or communication from a mod as to why. That user having no repercussion for his actions.. It's really feels that it's not an equal ground forum a lot of the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
i agree that it may feel like that sometimes, and sometimes mods need to do a better job in communicating. users will not however see everything that goes on behind the scenes. if we infract someone we dont broadcast it, its really no one else's business if i infract you, thats why other users cant see other peoples infractions. if you dont like the way a mod handled something, ask him (or her) how/why they did what they did. dont be hostile about it, just pose a question. i know we are more than willing to talk to users about their issues, and come to the best possible resolve.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
ha... man let's not get into the chad.goodman debate here... but i agree with felacio
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
I don't disagree with him, and yes let's avoid the Chad debate. I was semi involved in the first go round but wasn't in whatever just happened.

But seriously, talk to the mods if you have questions. I try to stay involved in my forums, but we don't always have that luxury (involved meaning not just moderating).

Anyone that rushes to say "cool story bro" is pretty much worthless on XDA. Actually XDA should filter that statement like a cuss word or something. It is so played out...

There are just to many punks on here that think they are the coolest thing on the internet. And it's not all of XDA. The Evo 3D users are pretty much the worse. A bunch of spoiled takers. Not enough of them are here for the knowledge and education. Which is the point of XDA.

Instead of helping out in some fashion, they run around being dicks until their developer or themer of choice releases something new. That then occupies their little brains for a few hours then they are back trolling, memes in hand. The more mature users, (see when I joined and my post count), do not post just to be rude. We post to help out or just wait quietly and patiently until the new stuff drops.

If anyone wants to see how XDA is supposed to work, check out the Touch Pro 2 Android Dev section. It is awesome. There are zero douche bags saying "cool story bro". Just developers and users helping each other to create cool phone software, which is the intent of XDA.

Peace out.

This in a nutshell is my thoughts on this. When the OG Evo came out there wasn't this holier than though stance by some people. We were all in it together. The past 8-9 months has driven a lot of good devs and people away from Evo 3D.

If I don't like something 90% of the time I just look they other way, because I know someone will be along and say "cool story bro" and probably post a picture to go with it.

I came from the Touch Pro 2 section and can confirm it was much more civilized in there. (the desire z section weren't too bad either)

To be honest the windows mobile section was generally much nicer than the Android parts. I'm assuming there's many more immature kids around these parts.

In saying this though, its water off a ducks back where I'm concerned as I just don't pay much attention to the silly posts, but I can see why it would annoy others.
