[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dcar777:
Yea. They canceled my order. A week went by with no refund. I emailed them and got no response. I opened a dispute with paypal ( I paid through paypal) and within 2 hours I had a refund.

The are screwing off over there and taking orders for stuff they don't have. They keep changing the "ship" date and keep telling everyone "you're next on the ship list".

Hell with that. I'm gonna be getting the samsung Galaxy 3 anyway. I have always owned Samsung phones and I don't know why I changed to Motorola but I regretted it too late. Back to samsung I go.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mrjinglesusa:
I ordered in early May. When i saw the ship date change to July 31 i emailed them and told them to cancel my order. An hour later i got a fedex tracking number. Lol. Installed it last night.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JJT211:
I ordered my Conversion kit on June 27th and it arrived on July 31st like they originally had posted.

Just FYI....yes the ship dates change but thats for NEW orders....not one you had already placed....the date they quote when u order is the only one you need to worry about...

Anyways, installation took a bit but wasnt that bad at all....just make sure you have the correct tools....and i just ordered the new bezel mount as opposed to grinding down the old one....

Im really excited tho now that i finally got my Razr MAXXED!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JJT211:
FYI....it appears they're fully stocked....so unlike me, they can ship the kit as soon as you order it...

Def worth it IMO....I dont know why all phones arent built with this kind of battery....I can regularly go 2 days b/w charges....incredible!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bond32:
Tempting... it doesn't sound easy though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nimnox:
Got mine in and installed with no real issues.

I didn't have a t3 torx, so had to order one separately (I figured I did have one in my precision set, but it only went down to t4). Getting the cover off the flash and camera area was a little tricky, and mine cracked under the camera lense, but not enough that I care.

Only thing I might do now is open it back up and throw some double sided tape on the battery facing the rear cover just to remove a little bit of the play from the vibrator motor.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marcozm:
very nice

vary nice
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laserburn:
I asked them do they ship these conversion kits to Europe and they didn't reply. Does anyone know how could we in Europe get our hands on one of these kits? I have a friend who runs a phone repair business, but he couldn't acquire me one, Motorola phones are not common here in Greece.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adibadi:
A bit late reply, but I ordered mine from cellphone repair shop to Switzerland, and there was no issue with the shipping. Be sure to order camera plastic cover as well, as you will probably break this off when you remove it. And as someone else mentioned, you might want to add double-sided tape between the battery and back cover so they stick together, otherwise you can feel a little gap in there (it doesn't bother me though).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Outbreak444:
A little late for me but I am confirming that cell phone repair shop's website is offering these kits for $50 off right now. I just ordered mine and installed the upgraded battery myself. Only thing I wish I had done was purchase the T3 and T5 Torx drivers, as it is VERY difficult to find (at least where I live). I finally found a small T3 and had to pay $10 for it! I made sure to purchase the frame to make it easier on the assembly. Everything worked great and didn't have any issues.

It came with new camera plastic, which I needed even after being as careful as I could, the metallic coating separated from the plastic as I was removing it. I did not use double sided tape so I do have a small gap as well between my battery and back cover but it is not an issue to me. They also give out a much smaller ammount of 3M tape to attach the battery to the interior of the phone, but it is quite effective still.

Their website also gives a link to a youtube video that shows you step by step. While I was working on my phone, I was playing and pausing the video as I went along and it helped a lot (it even shows re-assembly, for those of you who forget which screws went where :p )

For the heat gun I just used a blow-dryer and set it to high heat and high power and also had a cone on it to narrow the beam of hot air and it definitely did the trick.

I can help with any other questions as I installed this myself within the past week.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jacek607:
Hi,

I have 2 questions:

1. Is it necessary to flash phone after installing new battery?

2. This page on cellphone-repair-shop (http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.co...zr-battery-conversion-kit-to-droid-razr-maxx/) seems to be no longer available. Where did you buy your conversion kit?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] archie1988:
Here is one on ebay. From california. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=231007844951
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jacek607:
Does anybody know in which european shop I can buy original EB40 battery for RAZR? Cellphone-repair-shop doesn't ship to Poland and ships prices to other european countries is to high :/

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Reeplay95:
It's too expensive, i think that it's better to buy a broken Maxx for the convertion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TurnNBurn:
Does anyone have any links to a cheaper battery cover for the Maxx conversion? At $100+ I can just buy a new motorola G and get better battery life as well as a plethora of other upgrades.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] iPetahh:
Hi, i have two Galaxy´s Mini, and i have one of those ¨at my taste¨, and i want to restore the Backup ROM of CWM of my customized Mini, to the other.

Can I do this? It´s the same model.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] impreza233:
Well, if you have the other Mini with the stock rom (2.3.5 or 2.3.6 I suppose) you can`t do this with stock bootloader. But if you install CWM on these device, and install a custom rom, you will be able to recovery the backup properly with CWM options.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
ya you can restore one mini backup to another but the model must be same
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tha_subchief:
Yes you can! Flash CWM recovery on both minis. then from the customized mini, boot into recovery and do a complete backup. once it complete, boot up the machine and connect via usb to a computer. copy the backup folder from sd into your machine...the folder is named clockworkmod....then copy this file to the root of the sd card for the mini to which you want to restore the backed up rom to.

reboot into recovery and restore this rom.

And that way you will have restored a backed up rom to another mini!

Rem this works for custom roms...

Just pretend that the "Firmware Encountered an Issue" screen is download mode. For all intents and purposes it is.

You can flash the Odin tar over that screen and it will work (provided that you use a good usb port and follow instructions...)

1. which odin are u using, should be 1.85, redownload again

2. redownload the firmware tar again and flash again, if both of these steps fail then

3. flash a custom recovery w/odin(follow instructions on 3rd link in my sig) then flash a cwm flashable stock firmware, link are in the dl section in the first and second link in my sig

if all that fails then it sounds like you have a corrupted efs, emmc or nand partition the same as this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751338

[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
Not that I'm replacing my epic anytime soon (CM9 has breathed all sorts of life into it) but I have seen posts bemoaning the lack of new phones with a slider keyboard. And it's true. At least on Sprint, there are no new android phones with a slider, and a perusal of the Samsung and HTC websites makes things look pretty bleak. (For whatever reason the Motorola site wasn't working for me today.)

But, on the other hand, I have to believe that there are enough of us [those who either want or need that large, physical keyboard for whatever reason] that would make that next slider phone a success. It's just a matter of timing. While tablets are popular, and it would seem that they make the smartphone with a keyboard less appealing, I for one don't want to spend the money for one, and don't want to be encumbered by something that doesn't fit in my pocket. My Epic is the perfect size and form for me, and does everything I need it to.

I believe, therefore, in a year or two when our Epics and Droids are falling apart, and are desperately in need of replacement, we will se a new wave of sliders in the market.

Or at least I hope.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
To be fair:

There have been no new (announced) Sprint phones in general.

Phones are built to appeal to the many more than the few. The ICS android soft-keyboard has come a long way, along with the plethora of after-market soft-keyboards. The only time I break out my hardware keyboard is for stubborn words or Terminal use.

^^ High-end phones are expensive to design, so low-selling keyboard phones will be relegated to mid-range phones.

I'd rather have no keyboard, larger screen, and larger battery. If the RAZR MAXX were a Nexus, it'd be perfect.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
Those are all valid points.

The Epic was premium phone when it came out, and was accordingly priced $100 over the comparable models at the time. I would fully expect to pay a similar premium on its replacement. In terms of profitability, it's just a matter of timing, just like I said. Those of us who want it will pay for it.

Software keyboards are better than they used to be. I use swype a lot, which I think works better than the ics keyboard. But for my regular use, I still prefer the hard keyboard. Having the dedicated row of numbers and directional keys is invaluable to me, and was the final factor in my decision to buy an Epic. That you disagree is fine. But, like I said, my hope is for those of us who prefer or need the large hardware keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
I agree with OP I use my keyboard more often than most might, but that's what I paid for, I know they'll make one jump ship worthy for people who own the Evo slide 4g (whatever it is) and the OG epic 4g, just hope samsung makes it. Anyone seen the samsung galaxy S Blaze? **** looks so awesome, that's what I wish the epic was, with a keyboard
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I have this waterproof universal case I use on my epic when I take my motor-dinghy out on the water and I feel EXTREMELY restricted without access to the keyboard.

To me it will essentially be a downgrade to get even the GSIII without a physical keyboard
[Epic 4G General] danipoak:
I use my hard keyboard maybe 5% of the time so I honestly could care less if the SIII has one or not. I do understand some people just hate not having them though. The one thing I like about is, believe it or not, it makes it thicker. I have a big case on mine (some case they sold me at the sprint store). I went naked for a while but I just decided I liked the way the bigger phone felt in my hand. Without the keyboard I wonder if it would be too thin even with the case. That being said I don't think the SIII or any other feature phone for that matter will have a physical keyboard again. As mentioned above soft keyboards really have come a long way. I have been using swiftkey the last week and really like it. If swype is your flavor then I highly recommend FlexT9. There are some really good ones out there that make even the less coordinated able to use them efficiently.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
FWIW, I managed to look at Moto's offerings, and they did release the Droid4 not too long ago. Too bad it's on VZW.

But they are out there...=)
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I think the droid line is about the only line of phones that will have a keyboard in the future... what is sad is their keyboards are crap, the keys are too close together for me...
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
The Droid 4 reviews all say that keyboard is much better.

I also think its likely that there will be others. Too many of us will want it.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
The Epic 4G came out in August 2010, so hopefully the 2-year anniversary yields an awesome new slider phone with:

- 4G LTE

- 4-inch+ screen

- 8MP+ camera

I will ditch my Epic 4G in Q4 2012 or Q1 2013.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I thought it would bother me to now have a hardware keyboard. It doesn't. I like not having all the bulk. Epic Touch is really thin, but with a silicon case it feels a bit more sizable. The huge screen makes it so keyboard in landscape is about the same size. I know some people don't like losing screen to keyboard. I wonder how often the keyboard has been the culprit in software updates and such (ie. fixing key skip.) If so, I'd say one has to take the slow upgrades as a sacrifice for having a hardware keyboard. Updates seem much faster on candybar phones. I don't think I would switch back to a hardware keyboard unless they really reduce size.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I wish they make:

Samsung Epic Galaxy Nexus

2.5 Quad-Core Red-Dragon Processor

2 GB Ram

Nvidia Tegra 4 GPU

1080p Screen with mini HDMI out

12MP Camera

Keyboard Slider

4.04 ICS or 5.0.1 Jelly Bean.
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:

[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
It's fun to dream, isn't it?
[Epic 4G General] HelloM0f0:
I wouldn't mind no keyboard since the stock onscreen one is so good now.

And if the epic's successor is a slide-out it would have to be of way better build quality. I really could not survive another 2 years with a wobbly screen phone.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I do not want a keyboard. That is my final stance on the situation.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Edit: nvmd
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
I would give up a hardware keyboard if voice control was ubiquitous and reliable.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sarun_biotech:
Issue : When I attend an incoming call, I'm not able to hear the other party's voice. I can hear only my own voice back, but they say they can hear me just fine.

Contrast : No such issue when I make an outgoing call. All voices are just very fine.

When it started : Went back to stock 2.3.5 Indian ROM and restored from the Titanium backup taken while on Titanium S V2.1. But this is just the lst thing i remember doing before the issue.

Troubleshoots tried:

Software: Factory reset, on stock 2.3.5, and Titanium Rom with nothing installed other than the pure base OS.

Hardware : tried cleaning the mic opening (ya i know, but just a try), clicked the volume rocker a few times during the call.

Both did not help.

Google: There were 3-4 exactly similar issues on other models, but no one could find a fix, nor an update on how it went.

I dont think this is a hardware issue as the voice is fine when I make the call.

Guys... help me out.... :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Now that's weird. Don't worry we'll try to solve it. :)

Further you can troubleshoot by:

1. To rule our any possibility of the Receiving speaker being faulty, open your dialer and input this code (*#0*#). Now select 'Receiver(White)' from it. You should hear continuous sound from your Receiving Speaker, if not then its not working.

2. Trying to make a call using a landline phone so as remove the possibility of caller having any network issues and use a SIM from a different network provider on your handset to ascertain if its a network problem.

3. Is there a small popup with a heading something like 'In call volume' when using the volume rocker while receiving an incoming call ?

4. And does it at least show increase or decrease in the bar on the popup of 'In Call volume' graphically when you press corresponding volume rocker keys ?

Do post here what were the outcomes and also if you find what was wrong. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sarun_biotech:
Thanks for your suggestions, Eagle..

1. To rule our any possibility of the Receiving speaker being faulty, open your dialer and input this code (*#0*#). Now select 'Receiver(White)' from it. You should hear continuous sound from your Receiving Speaker, if not then its not working.

Ans: Sound recieving perfectly. (too loud actually ;-) )

2. Trying to make a call using a landline phone so as remove the possibility of caller having any network issues and use a SIM from a different network provider on your handset to ascertain if its a network problem.

Ans: Tried from almost a dozen networ/phone cominations. No joy.

3. Is there a small popup with a heading something like 'In call volume' when using the volume rocker while receiving an incoming call ?

Ans : Yes, the usual volume level bar appears.

4. And does it at least show increase or decrease in the bar on the popup of 'In Call volume' graphically when you press corresponding volume rocker keys ?

Ans : Yes, the volume works fine. I can hear my own voice back very clearly, both in the headset and loud speaker .

Nothing works so far.. any other software related issue sthat u can think of..?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
So one thing for sure your receiving speaker works fine and so is your volume rocker.

Usually most of the software related issues should be resolved when you clear cache, clear dalvik cache, factory reset, flash stock ROM and kernel on your handset.

I think you have already done all of these, right ?

I think some thing is wrong with your radio i.e. motherboard, you might have to go to the service center.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
The problem may also be due to use of faulty Jack headphone, that galaxy R has.
