[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sub-Standard:
Bought a Droid razr Maxx phone on Craigslist for "parts", but the screen is scratch free, the connections or snug (even compatible with my thunderbolt). I even called Verizon to have them verify a clean esn and compatability to deity my numbe, and the said everything checks ok, just waitining on the new mini sim card to arive next week.

So beyond the good news, her here is the the bad news the phone is missing the back battery door cover and the battery is removed. I have tried to replace the battery as illustrated and while being charched that phone turns on but then shows a big battery with a "?" On it......

I did a little research, and these batteries appear to have no been intended for removal... Is this possible or worth fixing?

Thanks to everyone in advance
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AutoBlogReviews:
It is possible to fix...hence the whole MAXX conversion kits. But you do lose the "splash-resitant'ness". Haha. Most likely you need to diagnose why the battery isn't being recognized. Try a new battery and make sure the connections are sound.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sub-Standard:
why battery isn't recognized???

I deal with a lot of 12V DC electrical and some automotive A/C electrical (mostly audio/video type stuff. I know a little bit about Home A/C wiring, but I know little to nothing about micro electronics. It appears to me though that the only connecting points from the battery the phone is a sort of electrical ribbon on the bottom left ( looking at back of phone) as opposed to actual contact points of batteries on most phones. If this is the only conection, and the tape is ripped out of the battery, then taking the bottom of the battery apart and soldering somehow would be required????? I wish I could find a youtubr video of someone removing and replacing or repairing one of these batteries. Or if my local "icrap repair shop" could fix it. Didn't some of the iphones also come with non removable batteries?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] just lou:
There must have been a reason why the original owner decided to remove the battery from the Maxx, and sell the rest for parts. I would think the phone has some kind of other major issue beyond the battery issue you're having.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sub-Standard:
I understand that idea of thinking, but i can say I know for 100% fact that before the battery was pulled, the phone worked perfectly. I am friends with with a Verizon store manager and this phone was torn open on the display, he assumes someone was trying to steal the display phone, and got nervous and left it behind. The phone is now considered an inventory loss, so I aquired it for little to nothing. I would really Like to get this phone working as it probably isn't worth much in It's current condition.

I attempted to post attachtments containing pics
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
See that the electrical ribbon is ripped the battery is no good it would need a new battery or if you could find a new ribbon connector and replaced the ripped on but that'll be difficult but cheeper than a new battery. The two screws need to be removed in order to change the battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
If you don't wanna deal with the phone I'd love to take it off you hands :D:p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sub-Standard:
I purchased the phone with intent of a profit...... Any offers on buying the phone or a price to fix it?

Here's the battery and back cover its a razr to razr maxx conversion kit. http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.co...zr-battery-conversion-kit-to-droid-razr-maxx/ EDIT: they're out of stock and no more pre orders.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Ah. That's EB20, the original RAZR battery. The Maxx battery is labelled EB40. Think that'll be why someone opened the case. Hope you didn't pay Maxx prices for that.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sub-Standard:
Since I'm not trying t convert an original Droid razr to a razor jazz, wouldn't it be less expensive to just by the battery from the same company w/out the conversion kit? It comes with the ribbon tape attached to the battery

http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/motorola-droid-razr-maxx-eb40-internal-battery-with-flex-cable/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Yep, though you'll presumably want a battery cover to go with as well.

Sent from my Motorola Electrify
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Yes it would be I just couldn't find the battery when i first looked lol yeah that's the right battery and you font you need the back plate too http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.co...x-back-housing-battery-cover-and-frame-black/ note: Installation:This is a genuine Motorola Level 2 replacement part which must be installed by an authorized repair center. Professional installation is only $4.95. This part is not sold without installation.

So in total it'll cost around 100$ to fix.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
I didn't even notice that yeah i think this guy bought a regular razr if you want to repair it you'll have to buy regular razr parts. Battery here http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/verizon-motorola-droid-razr-internal-battery-oem-eb20/ cover here http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/verizon-droid-razr-back-housing-cover-black/ or if you want a maxx wait for the conversion to be available again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tooter1:
If you or someone you know is very good at soldering, you can fix that ribbon connection.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
The ribbon cable is ripped in half and can't be fixed you would need a whole new ribbon cable connector for the battery and then you would need to solder it to the battery which is very difficult. I don't think you can buy a new ribbon cable for the battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tooter1:
I've done some amazing things with my soldering skills. It can be done....;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
I've never been able too lol i don't run into ribbon cables much with RC cars haha
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tehgyb:
Absolutely realistic, I'm a Verizon store manager myself, just sold off a RAZR 32GB and a galaxy nexus, for $50 total cost for the two. When we take down displays the phones are list as "CPO" or certified pre owned... Meaning they're almost pure profit, in a business sense.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Anyway ideas on how to get a razr maxx for really cheap at my local Verizon store lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sub-Standard:
$50.00 would be cpo. W/ 2yr contract. How much do u think my raze madden with missing door and broken. Ribbon is worth?outright, clean esn With no contract. I will list it on CL, just don't. Wannabe get lowballed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Its not going to be worth too much How much did you say you paid for it? I am interested in buying it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
Sub-Standard you got tricked into buying a broken Droid RAZR XT912.

if you want to fix it, add these 4 parts to your cart and buy them you can then have your Droid RAZR MAXX XT916

Get some knee pads ;)

Jk, just keep checking until you find a damaged phone - or always ask if there are CPOs available when you do upgades, as long as you dont mind that its been used (usually CPOs are used for like a week then returned because the customer came in looking for the crapple phone and got talked out of it, then usually they get made of fun of by their hipster friends and return it)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Forgot to mention its missing the battery cover that's another 50$ and its not a maxx you bought a regular razr! Like the other guy said it'll cost someone to get the phone working as a razr maxx another 170$.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sub-Standard:
No, this is the razr Maxx......
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
The battery you have kinda suggests otherwise. Unless someone came in and swapped the batteries and stole the back to upgrade their regular RAZR.

All things considered, that's not actually implausible.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
That could be possible but anyways it still needs 180$ worth of parts.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sub-Standard:
After double. Checking, u are completely right. It is the original razr Anyway, I am tired. Of dealing with this phone and its going today hopefully. I just drooped it to $140 cash if someone.takes it off of my hands today.

basically I have 2 routers with different SSIDs set up in my house

I was wondering if there is a way I can have it automatically switch to the one with a better connection through an app or script of some sort

or a way that I can at least make a shortcut on my launcher to do this?

now that I think about I could toggle wifi off and on but is there a better way?

hmm, best wifi works good, but i feel consumption of battery is higher now.

and one annoying thing is that toast always appears "best wifi: no apn found" if wifi is on and has no connection... for example if on the road...

i always have wifi on.

i know i gives apps like llama who can handle wifi on off cell or location based, but not good working, so i have wifi always on and that's best.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_dr0id:
Thanks for the recommendation, has been driving me crazy constantly switching btwn SSIDs manually or turning WiFi off and on. Ridiculous that we have to install an app for such basic functionality, and doesn't work if 2nd AP is a repeater with exact same SSID for me as main SSID gets disabled in order for the switch to happen. But using connectify me pro as repeater so not a huge deal right now, changing SSID is super easy :P

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwi_man:
Can someone please tell me what the difference is between gt-i9100 and the gt-i9100t?

Would a custom gt-i9100 rom still provide full gt-i9100t features?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7tOny4:
I9100t is optimized for 850mhz network you can flash any rom but you may have to flash your modem back on it afterwards but dont flash a i9100g rom on it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Different SAR values , which means different radio output, which as 7tOny4 said means works better with 850mhz network.

I9100t's tend to get better connectivity/data speeds with modems specifically for the I9100 T (but not always), dependent on location & network.

Yes I9100 roms provide 'full features', as there are no I9100T specific roms given the slight difference as per the above. If you find you're getting good connectivity/data speeds with the modem you're using now across all locations you use the phone/all times of the day (using it at one location at one time of day is nowhere near a proper test), no need to change the modem even if it is an I9100 modem.

If you do ever have problems with connectivity or data, you need to keep trying modems till you find one that works. A Google search with XDA appended to your search terms will yield you plenty of posts on here that link to both I9100T/I9100 modems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabloomi:
THE DIFFERENCE IS ALMOST NOTHING, EXCEPT THAT THE I9100T WAS MADE FOR SPECIAL COMPANIES, LIKE VODAFONE, IF YOU WANT TO FLASH IT YOU CAN USE ANY I9100 ROM EVEN STOCK I9100 ROM, THEN WHEN YOU TURN IT ON IT WILL READ I9100 ON THE BOOT LOGO, SO THERE WONT BE ANY DIFFERENCES AT ALL, BUT YOU MUST DO A FULL WIPE, AND BACK UP YOUR EFS FOLDER BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, HERES THE GUIDE, I MADE IT MYSELF, PLEASE AS I HELPED YOU, HELP ME AND PRESS THE THANK BUTTON

Cool, thanks guys. I was thinking that would be all it was. Was asking cos I got a vodafone sum but bought a Telecom SGS2 as the gt-i9100t was $100 cheaper than the gt-i9100. Don't like the Telecom splash / boot screen :)

This always happens to me before, like all my apps on SD card randomly uninstall themselves, if I reboot, another one will be uninstalled while the previous is okay.

Usually, I go to settings > Storage > Unmount SDcard > then Mount SDcard afterwards.
