[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spike760:
From my experience you're going to always want to use the charger and cord that came with the phone. I bought my Galaxy S II off the streets and it did not come with the cord, so originally I tried using my OG Droid charger since it's micro USB too but it wouldn't even accept it at all (I'm pretty sure because it was too under-powered for the Galaxy S II (My speculation)). I tried using an older LG micro USB cable too (I think it was even older though) it didn't work either, so now I use my Vizio TAB micro USB cord which seems to work fine.

But also at my work we have a 3rd party micro usb charger too but it's universal, but if I charge my phone on there, not only does it take longer to charge it doesn't hold the battery as long.

So what I've figured out is you're gonna want to use your own charger the phone came with to achieve maximum battery life, also unplug the charger right away when it hits 100%. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Wow lol I post the same thing every second day on some forum or other xD

The usb is special in the sense it has a nice rubber feel and cool plastic iphone style caps on the end..

Its a MICRO-USB male to USB male cable, nothing more, seeing as it is still a standard USB cable it has a max current of 5v (5.25 I do believe..), plugging it into a USB to AC converter over 5v can screw up the device and cable, sscond point.

Standard charger is 5v AC, using a charger below wont cause harm, but using one above can screw up your phone and battery and not ground it properly..

3rd point, keep in mind the mAh on the charger when charging, some (for like bluetooth headsets) are only 500mAh)

mAh is an acronym for ampere an hour, and in short, for chargers measures the current sent to the device at an hourly rate, for batterys (such as lithium ion) measures the actual charge capacity of the cell, using one with a higher mAh then the stock battery (1850mAh) will only charge it quicker and is recommended.

Fourth and final, remember with USB to AC adapters that some only have +5 and ground enabled (2 outer pins), ising the device its meant for on a ac adapter with all 4 pins enabled will make the device try to establish a connection and can again, make it not ground properly. I think ours has the 4 pins enabled though so ignore the last point..

*edit

Lmfao at above few posts (your theories have no basis, allow me to explain)

When you plug your charger in, regardless if its connected or not, its "live"

That being said, the every cellphone (keyword: cell) uses a lithium-ion battery,

That cell has a control board with a chip with a bit of information, some variable, the device has READ access to this board, and collects informagion such as max mAh, current mAh, and min mAh, the device then calculates from that, a percentage,

It then displays that information to the user, the minimum (displays 0-1%), is usually a value around ~100mAh if the cell dies to 0mAh, this can reset the control board and drasticly reduce the batterys expectancy and overall life.

Also, the actual chip on the phone, is simply for, when the battery is full, (current mAh meets max)

Said device drops connection to the cell and resumes on AC, leaving battery fully charged.

Unless you use a charger outside above said specifications, its literally impossible for a charger or file on said device (referring to batterystats n00bs who dont research) to adjust or recalibrate a lithium ion battery.

Hows that for a response :) I kept it clean
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shilent:
That's exactly my point. Shouldn't all micro USB cables be the same? I been charging all my other smartphones with many different micro USB cables and they all charged normally. Now with this phone, it takes over 5 hours to charge with my LG branded cable, this is with the stock S2 charger. Now with the Stock S2 cable, it charges in about 2 hours.

I'm gonna have to test again with the LG cable, as others reported long charging times within the first few days.

BTW, the current rating on a charger is NOT the hourly rate (ah). Also charging a lithium ion battery at a rate of 1850mah or higher should not be recommended.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Its never gonna be a linear charge or drain.

Simply put its an OS, As all OS's they have services that can start at different points, and also open different apps, also using rhe device, applications still in the ram, connection strength will all effect this its impossible to check 2 differenf charge methods accurately enough to get a definitive answer without 2 identical systems, apps, data, kernal and all, one on top of the other, plugged in simultaneously, in sleep mode, to the same outlet :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:
Haha well I may be in trouble. I use several different friends, co workers chargers everyday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
I have 3 chargers I use for this and haven't had no issues, there is no way using a different charger (unless its outside above said specifications) that it can do anything to your device including screw with the charge level.. people just don't like to research.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shilent:
Just an update, it took 2 hours and 25 minutes to charge my S2 from 25% to 75% using my LG cable (same stock S2 charger). I'm gonna test with my Palm micro USB cable next.

In summary, the higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last.

For chargers, the higher mAh sends a larger current of the same voltage to the device, charging it faster, lower mAh can and will cjarge slowly.. I'm not sayin go use a 5v 50k mAh charger for the battery and charge it in a split second here.

Wtc! I hit edit! Mod plz merge these...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shilent:
Charge rate of 1C = the capacity of the battery, in our case, 1C = 1850mah. It is not recommended to charge over 0.7C when it comes to lithium ion batteries. If a charge rate of 1850ma is recommended, then why do all chargers top out at 1A?

I collect high performance flashlights, most of them use lithium ion cells. I know about charging and discharging li-ion otherwise I could lose my hands.

Anyway, the point of this thread was about the stock USB cable vs other cables. The only thing I can think of at the moment is that my LG cable has more resistance than the Samsung cable, which is why it charges slower. Though that's hard to believe is the charging time is more than double.

doug36: I've seen you post in other threads, all you like to do is insult people, or at least try to. This is the last time I'm gonna post in this thread, you keep posting irrelevant information. Next, you're going to try to insult me, I'm not going to respond, and you're going to think you won or whatever, I don't care.

If anyone wants more info, or has any questions, please send me a PM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JhonKa:
I've noticed that the charger that comes with the S2 has a special hook on one side and looks distinctly different than other usb micro cables.

Personally i think it's really dumb.. wasn't the point of micro Usb to be uniform across all phones?!

Sounds like a good way for Samsung to make some extra bucks. :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] black03srt4:
I have no idea, all I know is that i tried to use my charger for my G2X and the SGSII wouldn't go past 95% charged? I used the Samsung charger and it charges perfectly?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:
Well lately my stock samsung charger has been terrible.

Even when I plug it into the wall it charges so slowly that if im below 15%; it will die

When left alone or charging while off for about 45min it will have up about 2-5%; so there's a major problem here.

But using a different charger and it charges at a faster(normal pace); 5% to 65% in appox 1 hour.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
That's normal? :O mine takes about 4 hours from red battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
Has anyone noticed that if you turn the phone off..or let the battery die to 0% and then turn itself off. If you then plug it into an LG usb cable it will put the phone into download mode.

This works every single time with my g2x cable.
[Nook Touch General] mrWax:
Hi I have tryied : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20374508#post20374508

But it does not work for me at first. I was trying to instal adb access for Nook Simple Touch on Win XP SP2. I have problem, when setting usb drivers system wont "find" android_winusb.inf althought I specificali choose proper directory C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver

So I made changes to the file:

I have rewritten:

;B & N Nook Color
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002&MI_01

into:

;B & N Nook Touch
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0003
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0003&MI_01

It seems to work for me now.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yup, that is a common problem.

I've seen other people have problems with other devices because the PNP Id wasn't in the INF file.

Using the ADB over USB is fine, but then you lose the mass storage interface.

Also, playing with the USB host mode you can only ADB over WiFi.
[Nook Touch General] ApokrifX:
Actually both works for me on XP.

I can use ADB over USB AND mass storage interface at the same time.

I didn't fiddle with INF file editing, just got right driver and installed it.
[Nook Touch General] nookPeter:
Not work for me

But unhappily not for me.

I went round the loop of deleting all references to B&N devices, edited the inf file as per mrWax and it seemed to install just fine.

But adb still doesn't find my Nook ST.

Still shows in Windoze Explorer though.

I read that there should be an option in Nook Settings to turn on debug mode but if there is I cannot find it.

The Nook is rooted to latest I could find.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Question #1: Are you sure the adbd daemon is running on the Nook?

Question #2: Are you sure it's configured for USB mode and not WiFi mode?

The Nook uses two separate USB interfaces and two separate drivers.

UMS - USB Mass Storage - stock Windows driver - USB\VID_2080&PID_0003&MI_00

ADB - Google driver - USB\VID_2080&PID_0003&MI_01

Try downloading this and viewing your USB tree with the Nook connected.

http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/usbview.zip

Look through the tree for the right device.

Copy and paste to here, enclosed in code /code brackets.
[Nook Touch General] nookPeter:
No cut n paste!

Sorry, Renate. No Cut & Paste available on USB View. :(

I'm stumped. Board will not allow attachments or external links. Even when enclosed in your quote.

This is getting silly.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Navigate on the left pane of usbview.exe to the correct device.

Go to the right pane, right click, "Select all', right click, "Copy".

Well, it looks like your Nook had adbd running and it's enabled over USB.

Now run device manager, type "devmgmt.msc" in a shell (a/k/a "DOS window).

The very top should say:

Computer
└──Android Phone
└──Android Composite ADB Interface

It probably will show that.

So, I've learned something looking into this.

I knew about the hassles of adb_usb.ini but I thought that ADB had gotten over that.

It turns out that ADB has a built-in list of vendor ids.

Barnes & Noble is not one of these.

You have to have adb_usb.ini list the B&N VID.

As this is an obtuse Unix file you have to make sure that there are no carriage returns in the file.

The easiest way is not to put any line endings at all in it, i.e. only a single line, 6 chars.

The file is C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\.android\adb_usb.ini

The contents are "0x2080", 6 chars exactly.

Sorry, I'd forgotten all about this, I use ADB WiFi on my Nook and my Kyocera is on the built-in list.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jackolus:
As we know in ICS there's compatibility with many bluetooth keyboards, including Apple Wireless Keyboard.

So I have a little request:

1) How to remap function buttons for working as MENU / HOME / SEARCH and application shortcuts ?

2) Is it possible to make ALT (option) work as creator of non-english characters ?

3) Maybe it's possible to make shortcuts like CTRL or CMD +c / +v / +x ?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who want to use this keyboard with android phone or tablet ;)

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 and overall I like it a lot. But I see an issue when I draw straight or curved lines in drawing programs. Spikes or jagged edges appear as you draw with your finger. I found a youtube video which demonstrates this youtube.com/watch?v=Im5tFUbY1Ds (I new so I can't add the www to the beginning and show the full link).

I removed took the device out of its packaging and added a few programs when I saw this happening. Does anyone have any ideas on a way to alleviate this issue? I read that the Galaxy Tab has some touchscreen issues and there is actually a program called TouchscreenTune that you can use for it but I haven't seen anything similiar for the player.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Potbellypig:
I'm thinking that I may have just gotten a defective device. Can someone who draws on the player confirm that they don't get little squiggles when they draw a long line or curve? That way I'll know to pick up a replacement. Thanks!
