[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] doug36:
you need to use a charger similar to your original, in this sense:

1.) Stock charger is 5v i do believe, usig one under wont cause issues, but wont charge correctly, using one over can cause multiple issues, like blowin the **** outa the board on your phone.

2.) Most usb chargers have 2 pins, where the standard USB cable has 4, the two on most chargers are far left, and far right (ground, and +5v), if your phones charger, its not designed for ones with all 4 (usually for proprietary type cables with access pins on device end), and the device trys to identify the current with another device and possibly not leave your device grounded properly.

3.) Keep in mind your chargers mAh (ampere/hour) consider this as how fast the charger charges the device, it is always best to use one at, or higher then your battery mAh, which is basicly the charge capacity of the cell (lithium ion)

Some USB chargers are actually only 500mAh which is basicly usless unless the device is off, and with a cell the size of a cellphone, would take a while to charge

Always good to know yoir data ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Presbycusis:
I have many micro-usb chargers spread around at various places so I always have one and never have had an issue. At work I use an old charger from my BB9700, at home I used the charger from my Kindle 3, and the charger I carry around with me is the one that came with my Skyrocket which I only use if I am stuck somewhere else and need to charge. I also have an AT&T (from when I had my BB) and Rocketfish car charger and both work the same.

Never had an issue with my battery thus far, though I have only had the phone for 4 months so not sure what the long term effects are. Worst case scenario is that I will need to buy a new battery at some point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
I used a blackberry car charger for my cappy back a year ago and after about 6 months of using the charger my device would not charge past 70%. No one ever figured out why. The full story is much longer with a lot more info and data but that's the short version. Ever since I've been skeptical Bout using anything other than oem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Presbycusis:
Hmmm...maybe it would be a good idea to use the one that it came with more often.

*paranoia setting in* :o

I know my BB and the OEM are both 5V though I am not sure about the Amazon charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I'm just waiting for the post, about someone that tried the charger from their hammer drill, or car :banghead:

Does anyone know why when I restart my phone and look back at the battery it drops almost 50%. It happens with every ROM I've tried. currently I'm running "the goodness" 2.5.1 mijja which is totally awesome. Amy thoughts? thanks in advance!

Xerxax
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
have you tried charging to 100% then wiping battery stats ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Is this happening to you on Gb roms too? or just ics? I was on ics for a few and my battery would drop to 21% for no reason, on two different roms of ics. I flashed back to GB and haven't had any issue whatsoever, I never had an issue like this with FBxx leaks, only FCxx leaks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xerxax:
No I haven't cleared the battery stats, that seems like a good idea. I did use calkins complete wipe before flashing every ROM . It did happen once on a GB ROM but I was only on the GB for a week before the ics leaks came out. I'll try the battery stat clearing and report. Thanks for the thoughts!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mark.J.Linskiy:
You should always try wiping the battery stats, then draining the battery completely (until it turns off) and charge it to 100%, calibrate the battery and unplug. Just to be sure, you could drain it once more after that and fully charge it. This should then indicate the actual battery percentage.

This is recommended to do after flashing a new ROM.

Hope it helps and fixes the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
That sounds like a defective battery.

Perhaps you need to charge to full and discharge to about 10% the battery a few times, before this battery starts to behave normally...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
NP....let me know
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xerxax:
I feel like the battery is behaving normally until I reboot. Then when I come back and look at the battery stats there is a significant loss of power but it is random (meaning not every reboot just some times) and that worries me. So in the morning I an going to reset by battery stats and run my phone until death, charge fully, then reboot a couple of times and report back. Thanks everyone for the input.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xerxax:
What exactly do you mean by "calibrate the battery?" I am going to try that for sure but is there a battery calibrating application or is it just clearing the battery stats in CWM? Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
Kill battery to 0%...make sure its at 0%......then charge to 100%.........then go to recovery and wipe battery stats....then do the same after
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingjing1975:
Does that battery trick work with stock im talking about the draining and recharging I know I can't clear battery stats without cwm but I'm wondering if draining and recharging would work on stock without calibration
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
this has happened to me on every andriod device ive owned
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
This is pretty much a well known bug on all samsung phones. The galaxy nexus included. If i'm not mistaken i've seen a few cases of this happening on HTC phones as well. If you let the phone sit the battery percentage should actually start going back up without charging. The problem is that the battery is only reporting to the phone an estimate of whats left. Its not designed to know how much is really left.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I think its a gingerbread bug. I get this too on my e4gt and I also got it a lot on the og epic when I upgraded to gingerbread. I honestly don't recall it happening on froyo. At least when it happens the battery percentage will stay stuck on that number till it actually starts draining.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
Since you never flash anything it wont mess with your "battery stats/%".

But doing that will make your battery last longer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xerxax:
So I ran my battery dead today... Dead, 0%, would not even turn on. Charged it for 5 hours until it said 100% being powered off. Booted into CWM and reset battery stats and tomorrow 8am will be unplugging and seeing how she does. I will also try a couple random reboots and report on battery life and drops. Thanks all for your help! Update for tomorrow night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
Ok cool...let me know if that works,if not I will check for other ways. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Not to be a Debbie downer but wiping stats is just a placebo effect. The only way to calibrate a battery is kill fully charge fully. Try not to mess with it too much while its charging. The stats has been proven to do absolutely nothing tho.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xerxax:
Alright peeps here is my update. Yesterday I drained my battery all the way to 0%, and my phone would no longer turn on. I then proceeded to charge it (while off) until it said 100%. I immediately booted into CWM and cleared battery stats and restarted.

I had a fairly light usage day but I did manage to reboot several times go to CWM clear the cache and here are the results:

View attachment 963894

I don't know if it was the battery stat clearing or just the killing then full charging of the battery but I didn't have any random power losses and my battery did fairly well but remember light usage for the day. So take this as you will but I am fairly satisfied. Thanks everyone for your input!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] emod0705:
Agreed...there is a chip that runs the battery end of things...i've always heard ..especially from xda, is once you finish flashing...pull battery wait five minutes, reinsert and what u have at that point is what is really there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
I knew it should work.....I know that killing then charging works,wiping the stats is just so it knows when its fully charged /100%

....wiping doesn't make it last longer just a "equalizer" you could say......glad to help you,not the most knowledgeable xda person but know some stuff lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xerxax:
Some of those little things make a big difference. Thanks again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Hi, all.

I'm a recent Galaxy Note convert. Migrated from years of glitchy and crap service from Sprint, and also a defective HTC EVO 3D. I absolutely LOVE my Note in ceramic white. However, I have had a couple of initial teething issues that I don't know are actual "problems," or just what to expect with a new Android device.

My Note is pretty much flawless most of the time, but there are instances where I've had random reboots, prolonged freezing up of the device (like when selecting certain live wallpapers and customizing their effects), and other times when transitioning from one program to the homescreen, and my phone will lag up and the icons will disappear off the screen and slowly reload a few icons at a time until everything is there, again. Also, I just realized that sometimes when I have alarms set to go off, they won't wakeup my screen. The alarm will go off but the screen will remain off. Other times the alarm will wakeup my device and turn the screen on.

So, my question is... should I be concerned and demand a new phone from Best Buy Mobile, or are these normal issues and nothing to really worry about? When I went to Best Buy, yesterday, to try and get a new phone, they were really apprehensive about it. They told me that AT&T would not allow them to replace the phone if the issues couldn't be replicated in the store (of course!). The rep did say some valid things to me about what could be causing the issues, but the whole random rebooting thing is what really has me concerned. He told me the phone was so new and that software updates have really came out yet to address any type of initial issues. Do you all agree or should I really try to get a new device??

Thanks in advance for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keilbaca:
I would get it replaced. I have not had a random reboot in both the stock rom and the SauROM custom rom. I know many others here, do not have random reboots. Something is definitely wrong hardware wise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
No random reboots or freezing on mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
If you're getting random reboots on stock rom with no OC, then definitely go and demand a new phone. This sounds like faulty hardware. I've never had a random reboot, even though I am undervolting and OC'd to 1.83Ghz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Thanks for the advice. Yes, I am running stock ROM. So now it seems like I'm having two problems... the first being that literally no store in my immediate area has anymore ceramic white Notes in-stock and the second being the unwillingness of BB Mobile reps to replace the phone. Today ends my 14-day trial with AT& (even though I have 30-days to make a final decision) and I'm limited on how much I can do today due to an engagement I must attend, tonight. Does anyone have anymore suggestions on what I can or should do? Thanks for much for helping me sort through this. I knew that random reboots didn't sound right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
When u overclock do you notice the phone grtig hotter than when you don't?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryandelman:
Agree.

The other stuff you mention (laggy screen transitions and such) seems to be par for the course where just about any Samsung Galaxy phone is concerned, to differing degrees on different devices, but there's zero reason why a brand new device should be locking up and powering off on you, unless there's more to the story.

In either case, dump it and get a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Thanks. There's no more to the story. Haven't really played around with the phone much or modified anything. Anything modifications I've done have been 100% stock. I guess I'll have to try and get the black/blue Note and before my 30-days or up, hope to swap it out for another ceramic white. Considering this wasn't my fault and BB gave me the run-a-round.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Do what you have to do, but get that sucker replaced. If you have to raise your voice with them and tell them they sold you faulty hardware and you want a replacement or a full refund. If they say no, tell them to get their boss, if that person says no, tell them to get their boss. Eventually they will say their boss is not there, at that point tell them to get the DM (district manager) on the phone. Someone will bend and give you want you deserve, that's the whole point of a return policy. Honestly if they did absolutely ANYTHING but give me what I wanted with a smile on their face, I would demand a refund as they have not erned my money. Take that refund and go to an ATT store or go online and buy that phone. I have had to take the "get your boss" route several times when they tried to give me the run around and I know I'm right. Once someone tried to tell me that they wern't aloud to call/contact their DM (this was a radio shack), so i found called another radio shack and just asked "whos your DM...ok and I need to contact him, can I have a number" and about 5 minutes of hold I had their number and called him directly to tell him the BS I was dealing with. At some point you will get the guy who isnt taking the return personally and knows his job is to smooth this crap out, simple as that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Thanks for the excellent response. I just returned from the BB Mobile store I purchased my Note from. Even though I was told BEFORE I came that they had ONE ceramic white Note left... when I got there, I was told not only did they not have anymore white Notes (and haven't had any for a few days) but they were completely sold out of black Notes. I was then told to "factory reset" my phone, as a "be all to end all" solution. I feel so exhausted. I'm scared to ask for a refund and then go to an AT&T store and AT&T tells me they won't approve me for a line of service. I know it's most likely improbable that will happen, but you never know. I just don't want to be locked into a contract and then they have the ultimate freedom to not work with me. But what you said makes a lot of sense. I wish you had posted your response before I went to the BB Mobile store. I really don't want to take a second trip there, tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I understand man, its a chore to deal wit hthis crap. I do not know how the deal between ATT and BB works, but if you have a ATT store around maybe give them a call and tell them about what your dealing with, or hell call ATT customer service and tell them that they sold you a defective phone and you're just trying to get a new one. Wiping may actually help, but who knows. Your on a time crunch, I'd be more aggressive with every passing day. Maybe someone here can shed some light on the relationship between the two entities and if there is anything ATT can do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Thanks again for all of your help. I was actually thinking about calling AT&T and saying what you suggested. I think I'll give them a call when I'm done with my engagement. Again, I appreciate all of your help and suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keilbaca:
A little off topic, but what did you undervolt to? I am running at 1.83ghz right now, and am curious what you undervolted to. Anything to save a little heat from forming and battery life for this thing :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
*UPDATE* So I just got off the phone with AT&T customer service. Now, grant it, this is only my second experience dealing with AT&T customer service and they were probably bending over backwards for me because I am not a customer locked to contract... but I have a very pleasant and satisfying experience with AT&T. Not the horror stories I've heard online. I talked to two different reps, one regular rep and another in the warranty dept, and both were helpful, knowledgeable, and shutdown all of the lies Best Buy had told me.

Both reps said they had no idea why BB was being asses about giving me a new phone. The rep in the warranty dept went much further, and apologized to me for all of the troubles they put me through ... and specifically stated that she had no idea why BB didn't simply give me a brand new phone, as that's the whole reason AT&T has the 30-day buyers remorse policy. She said it didn't matter what the reason was for my wanting a new phone, I am still covered under the 30-day policy, and BB should have simply given me a brand new replacement phone.

The final recommendation was since I technically bought my phone from BB, normally the policy would be I would have to get BB to honor AT&Ts policy and give me a new phone. But, because of all of the lies and run-a-round, AT&T recommended I go to an actual AT&T Store and they should pretty much be able to give me a new Note. AT&T setup a time to call me on Monday, to find out if I was able to get a replacement phone. They notated my account, and they said that if for some reason I wasn't able to get a new phone at the AT&T Store, the warrant dept would send out a new phone to me. A bit of a hassel, but overall it seems like my issue will be resolved (I hope!).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keilbaca:
Good stuff. I really dislike Best Buy and everything that they do... this is just another knife in the chest for them.

I'm glad you got everything sorted out. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Yes, I'm getting to that point, too. And it doesn't help they usually employ riff-raff trash around my area. I am calling BB during normal business hours to cancel my insurance with them. I've spent like $1,500 with them in the last year or so and another $350+ with getting the Note, and to be lied to over some B.S., just has me really soured. I would rather just have my insurance through AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Hate to hear all that mess...best buy mobile is going further and further down hill. Att was right...best buy should have replaced the phone. If they had none they should have secured one by order or sent you to a store that had one. Even if you were out of the 30 days the insurance would have covered you.

On a positive note, glad to see ya! I remember seeing you around the evo threads back when I had one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Hiya! Thanks for remembering moi lol. AT&T wasn't at all flattered that BB tried to throw them under the bus. I was fully expecting AT&T to confirm what BB had told me, but to my surprise, they said I was entitled to a new phone and should have been given one. I ended up going to a Best Buy Mobile outlet and an actual Best Buy Store. They all claimed they were fresh out of any Notes. One of them told me they had one in-stock, but when I got there, I was immediately told that was incorrect and they had no more. Called another BB in my area, they were supposedly fresh out, too. If there's any good news from all of this, it's that the Note must apparently be extremely popular! Either that or Samsung shipped very limited quantities. At any rate, I can't wait til BB customer service center opens, so I can cancel my insurance with them. I'm also taking back my Galaxy Tab to BB. I've barely used it since getting the Note. If I do decide I need a tablet, I'll see what the Galaxy Note 10.1 is all about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
awesome news man! Glad we were able to get you straightened out. This right here is the whole reason behind XDA. People coming together to help each other out. I am doing battle with AT&T right now myself. My situation is with my discount. I qualify for a stack of different discounts (can only have one though) and Everytime they "fix" my account I end up gettings texts telling me to call this number and verify my discount. When I call they tell me they need me to send them more paperwork. Im still in my 30day window, but barely, so I'm going down to the store tonight with box and receipts and telling them to have it fixed while standing there or refund me, no other options, no wait and see if this worked, no email BS. Either it works or it doesnt, simple as that. Im hoping I'll still be around this forum with my note and not another section of XDA with a new carrier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
I hope you get this sorted out. Discounts are a huge thing. I don't even know if I qualify for any discounts. With Sprint, they made it sort of obvious to find out what discounts I was eligible for. Doesn't appear to be the same with AT&T. I guess I'd have to do my own homework.
[HTC EVO 3D] banunya:
I know it doesn't have anything to do with the Evo 3D, but what software should I use to make my PC a DLNA

reciver?

I posted it here because I want it to work with my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] dagnasty:
If you are using Windows, Windows Media Player 12 can access DLNA servers.
[HTC EVO 3D] banunya:
But can it also act as a reciver, or does it just stream?
[HTC EVO 3D] dagnasty:
Not sure what you mean here. If you want to connect to your phone and view its pics or videos WMP will do it. If you want to stream from your pc to your phone you can use WMP or another DLNA server such as Serviio
[HTC EVO 3D] PTown599:
You want to stream from your phone, or to your phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] banunya:
I want to stream from my phone. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] tarassor:
Hi

I'm searching for the same thing !

I can easily stream medias on my PC to my phone or tablet, but still searching how to stream from my phone to my PC...
[HTC EVO 3D] banunya:
I found a way how to do that with WMP:

open WMP, click on the "stream" button, and then on:

"allow remote control of my player"

and

"automatically allow devices to play my media"

and that's it! you'll see your computer as a player.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
I do not see a "stream" button anywhere in my Windows Media Player. I am using Windows Server 2008R2 though so that might be the issue. I will fire up a Windows 7 VM and see.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] liranc:
Lenovo's Outlet has a boat-load of NEW Thinkpad Tablets for sale with various accessories included.

http://outlet.lenovo.com/tablets.html

Currently the 16GB with Pen included goes for $386.75, and it's brand new from Lenovo themselves. I'd say that's a pretty amazing deal! That's $90 off their regular online store NOT including the pen!

If anyone knows the reason for this price difference? (other than maybe they're looking to release their quad core tablet very soon)

Thought I'd share the great deal, looking forward to receiving mine shortly.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
Well, considering I bought my September, not so much >.>, and I got it at 490 after tax and shipping, but still. I thought this was one of the only tablets that wouldn't drop their price
