I got this one recently:

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-SlimTal..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1335035472&sr=1-2

Its (much) smaller than my Nexus, has a built in micro-usb cable, and charges via micro-usb as well. While it doesn't have the capacity of those listed above (only 3200mAh), it was only $20 and the size really does let you take it everywhere.

It can fully charge it the phone from dead about 1.5 times.

I bought mine due mainly to the fact that it includes the micro-usb cable that hides away when not in use. It has a standard USB port as well for charging other items, but the appeal of only having to carry one item and no extra cable sold me.

My only complaint is that the built in cable could be a bit longer.

It has a flashlight too... lol

Been researching this topic lately and found that Anker's 10,000mah external battery is looking the best

I use the Veho Pebble and it's fine for my needs. I get 2 charges out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Curb71:
after hours of my own research I also bought the Anker Slimtalk. I dont travel enough to need one that is huge and can charge my phone 8 times. This seems small enough to toss in my pocket and not bother me since its so thin and light. For $20 and the convenience of having its built in micro usb cable sounds like a perfect little invention to get me through the day.

If I traveled more I would of probably got the Energizer XP8000. Their tip program is awesome. Free tips for life but really its $2 shipping each. if you want this device to charge a whole bunch of things it can. My Acer netbook, EVO 3D, girlfriends RAZR, 3DS, bluetooth, iPad 2, Nook, and the list goes on. I've been trying to ask New Trent for almost a week if their products would be compatible with the Energizer Tip program but found that contrary to what I've read their customer support is terrible, but their prices are better than energizer. So they loose out on the sale since over the last few times of researching has allowed me to find the Slimtalk which for the price and for my needs is perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urinsane:
Exactly why I went with it. Even while traveling I'm generally within range of a car or home charger, especially now that pretty much everyone without an iPhone has a micro USB charger somewhere.

I just wish it had a built in AC adapter as well but I'm sure the size would increase by quite a bit. Someone (iGo maybe) makes one like that but it only has about an 1100mah battery if I recall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timmiej93:
I found something here in the Netherlands, and I'm not quite sure if you guys in the US have the same thing..

The thing this has going for it is it's portability. It fits in your pocket, and if you don't mind a big lump in your pockets, it even fits together with your phone.

Click over there <<< to check out the dutch website of duracell. It basically is a battery with a socket plug on it, and 2 USB outlets.

Tech. info:

Output voltage: 5 volts DC

Input voltage: 5 volts DC, max. 1 amp

Capacity: 1800 mAh

Offcourse, this is the dutch version, with the dutch socket plug, but maybe there's an US version as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ditchmond:
Thanks for all the info here guys. I have that crappy Black and Decker Pocket Power from a few years back, that well, isn't living up to the charge these days, so I need something else.

Still a bit too many options, but I'm sure I'll find one that works the best.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdwolf85:
I had AOKP Build 29 installed on my Transformer and I decided I wanted to go back to stock so I attempted to flash the stock FW through CWM. I ended up with a CWM bootloop and like an idiot I didn't make a back up of my previous setup. So I tried flashing back to AOKP with the rom I had saved on the tablet and still got the same thing. I cleared data and tried flashing an old version on Android HD that I had on the internal SD card and that still didn't work. So I then figured I'd try flashing stock FW again....This is where things got weird. It seems that it only flashed the recovery. So now I'm stuck with stock recovery, but as soon as it boots into recovery I get the android w/! and ADB won't recognize it. I also tried doing an NVflash, but after I put the tab in APX mode and start the NVflash the tab disappears from my list of devices on my PC running windows 7 64bit. Any help to fix this will be awesome. The only thing I can think of is to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them to see if that fixes it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.janku1:
I got a similar problem today. I put it to APX mode, start nvflash, it flashes the first images and when it starts flashing the bootloader my TF disconnects and turns off.

Please help!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chad0989:
This is for kernel devs only. The patch itself is useless to those who do not/can not compile their own kernel.

This was a pretty big hit on some other devices so I figured I'd give it a shot for you guys. This allows one to force AC charging for any charger that is detected as USB (e.g. many car chargers) and pull the full current the charger can support. It also provides additional security when connecting to public charging stations because by forcing AC charging, USB/adb data transfers are disabled, protecting your data.

It is essentially a software version of the modified charge only usb cables.

Fast charge can be toggled by issuing:

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

and off:

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

In addition I have created a toggle fast charge widget that may be used to toggle fast charge on and off right from your home screen:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol.fastchargewidget

I have also implemented a toggle in IncrediControl (free) that will allow you to turn it on and off.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol

For the widget (or any fast charge toggle) to work, you MUST be running a kernel that has this patch implemented.

As a good gesture to support a fellow dev, I ask that if you implement the patch into your kernel, please link to my widget as one means to toggle it. You are of course free to provide other ways to toggle it as well if you so desire.

Kernel devs, if you would like to test the widget yourself to confirm its working, and for convenience of testing, please contact me and I will provide you with a copy. You must show that you are a kernel dev though (i.e. link me to your kernel post so I can match your username).

Good too see you contribute to the dinc2 Chad :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chad0989:
Anyone running a stock-ish sense rom that would like to test? I'd like to build a test kernel from the stock gb source.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
I still haven't heard back from you regarding the issue I encountered on our first test.

Edit : Nevermind I just checked my email and there it was lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chad0989:
Patch is complete and included in the OP. Read the whole post before downloading.

If anyone wants to give it a test while they're waiting for their favorite kernel dev to implement it, here is the test kernel I built. I will not be supporting this test kernel, so if there are any issues with it that don't involve force ac charging, I don't want to hear about them:

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/mirror/aerovan-fastcharge-test2.zip

I used aeroevan's ics source for the base, so if that kernel is compatible with your ROM then this one should work also.

Enjoy.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrobc97:
So I'm still (and will be) on Bionix 1.3.1 and I have made my own google search bar to match my theme but I get annoyed that the market (Play) gives me the notification that there is an update for it. I don't want to upgrade to the new one which I think it looks too plain and white doesn't go with my theme. I don't want to be notified that I have a update for it either. I know if you use Titanium Backup you could remove the market link from the app but it only works temporary (next reboot and it notifies you again). I would like to know is there a manual way to do it permanently. IOW extract the app, unzip it, then remove that market link manually. does anyone knows how to do that? THX for your help.

Hi,

I am currently a sprint user who loves his Epic Touch 4G but hates the crappy sprint service. I am rooted on the E4GT & am looking to root the Galaxy Nexus & get wireless tethering working ASAP.

What would be my best steps to get rooted & tethering?

Thanks,

Rich
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
1.) Unlock bootloader and root through ADB/Fastboot or the GNex toolkit stickied in the development forum.

2.) Install a custom rom and go to Settings --> Wireless and Networks More --> Tethering and Portable Hotspot --> Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot (Checked). Wireless tethering is native to the GNex (maybe ICS as a whole?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mduran1023:
I use an app called FoxFi ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi ).

Doesn't require you to be rooted, and works perfectly.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amonfog:
I use the wifi tether from stock and it works awesome. I love the fact that the phone get's seen as a rooter instead of an ad-hoc device) just try it from "settings > network options > tether" before rooting.

I would personaly recomend you to keep it stock for at least 2 weeks. When problems arise you can send your phone back without worrying over warranty and stuff. When you see no problems after the first few weeks you can start hacking and unlocking stuff knowing that most things that go wrong beyond that point are your own misstakes and not production problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well your experience on GSM is different from his on LTE. Verizon likes to crack down and force you to pay for tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RichTJ99:
Is there a Verizon stock 'rooted' rom? I am rooted & using AOKP milestone 4 & am finding things are a little buggy. It might be the phone, it might be the rom. I wouldnt mind trying stock VZW as long a I am rooted - maybe minus some bloat would be good.

What inspired me to switch carriers is that I am moving to a bad service area (cell) and my sprint epic touch 4g has only 1 bar & terrible data service. The surprising thing is that a number of times through the day the sprint phone had data while the verizon phone didnt.

Overall service wise I was expecting it to be fairly good like my wifes Iphone (VZW) but its about on par with my sprint phone. A number of spots I had data on the sprint phone but not the nexus. Strange indeed.

:confused:

Just rooted my SGS2 with this forums help after got fed up with Samsungs decision to delay even further ICS release for sim free owners. Flashed Pure 7.2 rom and am kinda happy with it. But would like to give a try other roms too. Pure seems to be so much better battery wise then stock. Google experience and most important no bloatware.

Am looking for a smooth and battery friendly rom. Am looking forward for a stable CyanogenMod 9 release but till now exploring the option.

Many thanks in advance ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark lord me:
There si no such thing as the best rom. The best rom is the one that you prefer, take a look around the SII page and try a few. When you have gone through a few choose which you like and stick with that one

If you want a solid rom then go for checkrom which is gb and based on tw but there is no fully stable ics rom...wait for cm9 to get stable.

actually there are a few roms that are quite stable... omega, litening as well as wanam are the ones i ve used so far.... although there is still a lot of improvement for these roms, if you wanna check out ics I think they are good enough to give them a try...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rulandas:
thanks for your input

Thank you everyone who took their time to post here for me and maybe other interested. Firstly I do really understand that there is no such thing as best. And I really never meant to ask for a best rom. I just wanted advise on what would be at least worth to start to try. Which ones are better out there. I just started rooting as really got fed up with Samsungs delays and some really unnecessary for my liking apps included (like bbc iplayer etc)... There are so many roms that I would not really want trying all. Therefore seeking for advise for some better roms out there. And not in their experimental or so stage.

Thanks @frankimm but as you mentioned its not fully stable yet I will skip it on this occasion.

Thanks @pokkas88 I was actually considering lite'ning rom myself. Will check on omega.

My first flash was and is Pure ICS v7.2. It is nice and stable. yesterday with my regular usage got more then 24 out my regular usage. Where on stock 2.3.4 would last only half a day... But something is not right with contacts there. Was lagging when trying to organised and join contacts (google, facebook, skype...) and phone app seems laging a bit too. therefore a bit annoying. otherwise solid and stable rom....

Still hope to hear more opinions...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rulandas:
forgot

forgot to mentioned. Roms with better support from other developers would be probably priority. What I mean the roms that get dedicated addons as I undestadand addons are compatible only with certain roms. And would not really want to get creative in trying to force addons whilst am still learning here...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domross:
I highly recommend Hydrog3n rom - I've upgraded to this from Check ROM, prior to finding this I tried several other ICS AOKP to find stability issues, I have to say this is a fantastic rom and cannot recommend you try it enough.

Failing this, Check ROM was great; I had issues with it rebooting or not reconnecting to my mobile network if I lost signal, and ultimately I wanted to do away with Stock so I went for an AOKP rom.

I'm not new to rooting but I am new to the website. Couple of questions before I can really help. First the ROM you flashed is a cdma rom but is your phone cdma or GSM? Next question, what hboot are you on? Finally have you downloaded the adb and fastboot drivers to your PC? I'll see if I can help you out if you can get back to me

Did you fully wipe before flashing?

Also, it seems that rom is pretty much in the Alpha stage, meaning things won't work, which is normal.

I'm on an incredible 2 with cm9 but am looking into doing my gf's nexus so she can get some better battery life. I already turned off LTE but if she actually uses it throughout the day, its dead by 6. So I'm wondering what the best option for battery life? I seem drawn to Gummy for some reason...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Gummy is known to have some of the best battery life. Liquidsmooth is very good also.

Only reason I didn't try Gummy yet is the official update isn't out yet, the 4.0.4 build. Still in testing.

I'm on GSM tho so idk bout CDMA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truwire:
Liquidsmooth

I am running liquidsmooth 1.25 and am getting over 2 days - I attached a screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattchu123:
I got very good battery life using AOKP B29, and using LeanKernal 3.1.0 EXP1 180. I also turned off my 4g, and usually have my brightness to the very lowest setting. 4G and the screen are what eat up 90% of your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Happens when you don't use your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spenceuiuc:
Bugless Beast has been the best for me by far. I get about 30% better battery life on BB than with Gummy/Leankernel. My 2¢.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truwire:
Right, which would show that the ROM itself is good for battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
.... any ROM can do good on battery life when you don't turn on the screen.

Also, OP is asking for LTE recommendations and you're on GSM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truwire:
The display should drain battery at a consistent rate (depending on brightness, etc) but independent of the ROM shouldn't it? I don't think that the stock ROM's display power draw would really differ from Liquids display power draw. Same thing with the radios...but maybe I'm wrong.

Also, I was simply showing the success that I have had with this ROM - which is notably improved battery life from stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Your wrong kinda-ish haha.....some ROMs get better battery life when screen is on. Pretty much fact.

Actual screen power usage like the amount of mah's or w/e, it might be the same across everything.....but it the amount of battery being used by the OS etc...where the ROMs differ when screen is on for the most part.

Hence, I can get like 40 minutes of straight screen usage and 10% on Liquidsmooth and kernel, but only like 25-30 on another setup.

Oh and btw......for the most part, battery life is heavily dependent upon Kernel more than ROM. Though the combination of the two definitely play a significant role.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TyroneLT:
I have to agree with this. The kernel is what really will determine your battery life and how you utilize the options that the kernel provides. That combined with screen brightness are the biggest factors. AOKP + the Franco kernel have been the best combo for me. For medium to heavy usage I get about 12 hours a day.
