[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Bigmille:
Just want to share some early impressions of Anker 2500mAh battery for the Note.

I brought this on Amazon UK for £10, which is half the cost of the cheapest stock battery I can find from trusted online shops, the Anker seems few grams heavier than the stock battery.

I have used the Anker in the Note for two weeks now and decided to do a control test against the 4 months old stock battery.

The Note was set to play 720P version of “The six sense” on desktop version of YouTube using Boat browser at full brightness, with the sound at 50% output to a pair of headphones.

The YouTube page was refreshed every 1:30 hrs to restart the movie, and battery usage recorded after the 5% low battery warning popped up.

As you can see the Anker lasted 1 hr longer than the stock battery in the test. It would have been better if I had a newly conditioned stock battery to compare against the Anker. Still it shows the Anker advertised 2500mAh capacity is not too far off.

I’m going to continuing to use the Anker as my main battery and the stock as backup. I also had an Anker battery in my HTC Sensation for 3 months and was very pleased with the battery life, so I think it should stand up pretty well for long term daily use.

So if you don’t want to spend £20 on a stock battery, the Anker is a very good alternative. It is few £ more expensive than some generic batteries on eBay, but Anker has good reputation with their products, just check out the long thread in HTC Sensation accessories section.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] VTEChump:
Thanks for the compare. 4 hours screen time for stock battery is kind of disappointing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fizzerd:
I actually own one and it fairs well as a spare for prolonged usages.

I owned two spares for my Galaxy S2, also. So in a nutshell, quality and performance of the Anker brand has been consistently excellent.

For $12, it's worth the purchase. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Bigmille:
To be fair, the test was designed to stress the battery to the maximum under controlled condition.

The Note was playing a 720p Flash video with full screen brightness. The movie also has very little black background, so the OLED’s power efficiency is minimised.

I also had the phone’s cell radio enable and CPU scaling set to “on demand” so the battery drains even quicker.

Under those conditions, 4 hrs of usage for a 4 months old phone battery is not too bad, a new stock battery would probably last around the same or more than the Anker did.

I've no problem using the Note all day long with the stock battery with Juice Defender to auto manage my data connection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] VTEChump:
Agree, you were over-stressing the battery, but Engagdet got over 9 hours looping a video at 50% brightness (still overkill IMHO).

Also, in my experience, Juice Defender has always given me less battery life when enabled. I got about 30 mins more display time and 2 hours of overall time with Juice Defender off vs. on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] crysalis786:
I'm confident that they were not looping a flash video, but a locally hosted video file. The OPs test.stresses the device much more as flash video consumes a lot of battery power to play, especially as he was streaming the video, and the screen consumes a large amount of power at full brightness.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] LemonPowerForce:
For what it's worth, I bought one of these on this thread's recommendation, and have not been disappointed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AdzUK:
I purchased one of these for my S2, it was dirt cheap. Absolutely brilliant battery and it seems Anker have done it again, highly recommended and I may well purchase one of these for my Note soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jeffs99:
Thanks for the battery recommendation!

What charger would you all recommend to go with this battery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Bigmille:
It has been a month now since using the Anker as daily battery, so I decided to run the same test again. As you can see, there is no difference compared to the test I did earlier, so it seems to be holding the charge. I'll do the same test again after 2 months to see what the difference is.

I use a normal USB wall charger can be find very cheap online. I don’t think the battery charge any quicker with higher amp charger like the Galaxy Tab and ipad.

There is no way the Note battery can last 9 hrs, I got a new ipad on the weekend and was using the stop watch on the Note to time how long a full charge take. After 6 hrs and 30 mins, the Note battery was around 18%, the Note screen was at minimum brightness most of the time.

So I call BS to Engagdet test on the Note, even though their battery tests are accurate most of the time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] shwannode:
anyone know where to buy?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jeffs99:
I actually didn't mean charging this spare battery in the phone, but meant what exernal charger whould you all recommend for charging the spare battery while my main is installed in my Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Cactaceae:
Thanks，at that price I‘ll give it a try :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Bigmille:
I got the Samsung Battery Charger Stand, it charges via the same type of USB port on the Note. I use my Note in Desk Clock mod during the night so the stand coming handy, I can position the Note horizontally so it can be connected to a wall charger.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sharp2G:
someone should really do a video run down test.

samsung stock battery vs. gold battery vs. anker battery

1. Play full 1080p video at max brightness.

2. Record the battery % every 1 hour for X hours.

3. Post results

Repeat for the other two batteries.

*** Make sure all batteries are at 100% under controlled conditions ie. make sure you're not texting/making a few calls during the tests. ***

hi guys..

I just oredered this batt from amazon. I don't want to risk my bnew note and i'm new to this kind of stuff aswell.. I just have one question... How do you guys cycle your bnew battery? I've been reading alot of threads from this forum but i'm still confused... I hope you guys can help me... Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] qsgsg:
cycling basically means charging and discharging.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AudioSlayeR:
I just recieved my anker battery today.. I'm so excited!!!

just want to ask one question... since its a new battery, should i charge it 8 hours on its first charge? i already discharged it to 25% and i'm charging it now... hope you guys can help me... thanks!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xveganarchistx:
With a new battery, it is best to charge it overnight, then condition a it by using it until it is fully discharged, and then to re-charge it fully.

However, remember that lithium-ion batteries don't have a "charge memory" like old batteries used to, and regularly draining them will actually significantly lessen their capacity. To keep you battery accurately calibrated, it's good to let it drain once every month or two.

Also, it's better to allow the battery to discharge a little before re-charging it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dch77:
Hello,

I used these Anker 2500mAh for more than two months now. And I can confirm they do last the same as the Samsung one. So, I'm quite happy with it.

Out of curiosity, I did a stress test (looping 3D game with everything to full: brightness, wifi, gps etc) and I got roughly 3H10 for both Anker and Samsung.

It usually lasts 1.5-2 days on normal "still kind of heavy" usage...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tyraelasd:
Can anyone give his thoughts about the 2700mA anker battery? Im seriously thinking about buying two of them plus the charger..

How to flash the system.img?

HTC evo 3d shipped S-ON LOCKED

Thread would be much appreciated :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Background on system.img: The system partition is generally only distributed in the system.img format for stock system images. Most aftermarket ROMs perfer to distribute their system content in the form of an update .zip file.

Background on bootloader: The system.img can't be flashed until you unlock the device. This is a standard security feature on any device with a "locked" bootloader, as yours shows from the information you posted.

One option: Once the bootloader is unlocked, the command should be as simple as: fastboot flash system c:\system.img

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Oh yeah, just flash this via CWM then its set...

And guys I am using a Beats Solo as my daily distraction (actually I use it as my work headset as well... makes me look cool than I really am lol) and I DEFINITELY noticed a change (sorry Nobnut)...

It gave a better bass response... not that it made the bass sound heavier but actually more crisp as opposed to being muddy... Before I hate the Beats Solo sound in "normal" settings but now its much better... My music files are all FLACs ranging from Pearl Jam to Rage Against the Machine....:p

Well I just gave it a go. Tested with 2 tracks before and after using Poweramp (with EQ disabled) on TRR 1.5 and cant say that its defnitely made a change.

If it has then its nothing like the kind of improvements you can get out of just adjusting the EQ in Poweramp alone.

You can make an EQ curve to sound just like Beats audio. It's marketing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KaliKot:
This thread is everything that's wrong with XDA

First, WRONG SECTION

Second, Glorifying Beats. Come on. I know not everybody is an audiophile, but Beats is just all about marketing. They make brittle headphones that look good, sound mediocre and are only worth LESS THAN HALF their tag price.

At least Apple actually makes QUALITY and stands above other companies, but Beats is awful. Really awful. You should be ashamed.

That said, if you read the Engadget review on the Sensation XL, you'll find out that the "Beats Audio" on HTC is nothing but an Equalizer setting which can easily be duplicated using Poweramp or DSP Manager. Hence it's flashable via software.

It seriously bugs me how many of you can hate Apple but buy into the Beats hype. It's much worse than Apple love which is at least justifiable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oobly:
+100

You can read up what beats actually does in this review: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/13/htc-sensation-xe-with-beats-audio-review/

Just applies an S-curve EQ. You can get the same effect with any decent EQ app. Adjust it specifically for the 'phones you actually use and you'll get better audio.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JamieD81:
if there was no Dr.Dre name behind beats, beats wouldnt have lasted longer then 1-2 months.

name branding is all that Beats is about, not quality. my stock i9100 headphones stack up against beats thats gotta tell you something :P:P

"beats audio" was HTC's way of trying to sell some crappy handsets.
