Bought it.... not impressed. Its the size of a bus and o my gives me a day and a half of heavy usage. Looking forward to the spray on battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
So what's the concession in "conditioning" the battery for the first time?

The battery came pre-charged to like 70%. So you guys just drain it via normal use OR follow the instructions to charge it for 8-12 hours BEFORE first use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Never mind.. I am returning the battery because:

1). No standalone battery for the charger - Mugen doesn't sell it, yet their instructions stated NOT to charge the phone with "non-Mugen" charger.

2). The cover doesn't close completely in my AT&T Note. If I press the cove slightly, I can hear "pop" over and over. So I took it to an AT&T store and tried it on another Note on display and same thing. The funny thing is that the AT&T store employee told me that there was someone else who came (he doesn't remember when) who tried the same exact thing and the cover also doesn't close properly.

Given the above, and the fact that there is NO car dock that can accomodate the "think" Note, I think it's not worth it paying $100. I will just carry extra battery in my pocket - it's thin enough anyway.

Your mileage may vary!

OLD POST

========

Guys, what do you use to charge the Mugen battery BY ITSELF? I.e. when it's not in the phone.

I assume both of you have 2 battery - stock and Mugen. So if the Mugen battery is completely discharged, you will use the stock battery AND charge the Mugen battery independently. Otherwise, it will take a long time (5+ hours due to the battery size) to charge the Mugen battery and you will not be able to use your phone.

PS: The Samsung battery charger, which I posted above, does NOT work with Mugen battery because the metal point in the charger does NOT touch the metal point in the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
That's a standard cover-your-ass disclaimer. They don't want you using someone else's charger, have it blow up and burn down your house, and then you blaming Mugen. I'm using the Hyperion desk charger, and it works just fine with the Mugen battery.

They sent me a spare cover for free when I asked if I could order one. Neither one makes that popping noise. It does creak a bit, but I expect that to happen. All the tabs around the perimeter of the cover are properly engaged. I actually have more difficulty removing the kickstand cover than the standard one. However, I have not tried my covers on anyone else's Note. Maybe mine is special. :D

I posted about this in another thread here, but both my Bracketron and my new Exogear car mounts accommodate the extended battery just fine. I prefer the Exogear one, though... much easier to attach/detach the mount from the dash or air vents than the Bracketron. I should take some photos...

I have never seen evidence that lithium ion batteries need "conditioning" before first use. Sure, charge it up to 100%, but leaving it on the charger for an extra 8-12 hours on trickle charge isn't going to make any difference. Similarly, using the battery first without charging it is also fine. I've done some tests myself with my various smartphones, laptops, cameras, etc. that all use similar battery chemistry. I have found no conclusive evidence saying that one must condition these batteries before first use, or on a regular basis thereafter, in order to improve performance. Those are practices that carried over from older NiCd/NiMH chemistries, and do not necessarily apply in whole to lithium-based chemistry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
Anyone know if the back cover is available anywhere by itself?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
I asked Mugen about that after I ordered my battery from them. They didn't answer my question, but instead sent me a spare back cover for free. :D So I guess if you add a note to your order asking them if you can order additional covers, they might send you one too. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ElAguila:
If you find any place to get just the door please post it here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Great find!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Slammin:
After waiting about 5 weeks for my battery to arrive, I contacted Mugen and they filed a claim against that order and created a new one.

About 2 weeks later I received both batteries within days of each other. So then I grabbed an Anker wall charger off Amazon and I never have to worry about running out of juice now. These take forever to recharge but also last at least twice as long as stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
any nice cases for this? or are bumpers the only option?

any holsters to fit this thang?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rvnteck:
Here's what worked for me, a bumper and leather belt pouch combo! :)

I'm really happy with this combo both in protection and portability.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Elpidio:
Where did you get the bumper from, I can see Ferrari brand
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rvnteck:
I got it from a local asian mall here in Toronto called Pacific Mall and the brand is not Ferrari, its color is only described as ferrari red.

I got the aluminum bumper case for only $20cad, but online I saw it selling for Atleast $50cad. Its available in different colors, in red, blue, black, white and plain aluminum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Elpidio:
Thanks for the info, I'll search eBay, Amazon, etc. I doubt I can find one here in Hawaii
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Hooray for Pacific Mall, where every other store sells phone accessories! :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Slammin:
Love this battery!

Pretty heavy use the last couple of days and still could make it one more day with moderate to heavy use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ElAguila:
I am amazed at how much thinner this 5400mah battery is than the generic supposedly 5000mah batteries. You would think they could get the generic ones a little smaller.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
I was at Fan Expo in Toronto last weekend (big comic/SF con) photographing the cosplayers and celebrity panels. I had an Eye-Fi card in my DSLR acting as an AP, with my Note tethered to it. JPEGs were being streamed from the camera to the Note throughout the day. This was also a few storeys underground, where there is barely any cell signal, never mind mobile data. The Eye-Fi software wakes up the phone every time a new image comes in. But despite those battery-draining conditions, the Mugen battery was able to power through about 11 hours of that with about 9% to spare at the end of the day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
I bought a generic one for cheap that was supposed to be 5000mah, and when I took it apart it was two batteries with their labels scratched off wired together. The serials were engraved so I looked them up, and it was actually two 1800mah batteries, so only 3600..and the inside batteries were obviously previously used. my tests showed them at under 3,000mah total. I then bought the Mugen, and it just looks too well put together to want to risk taking it apart, but when I finally retire the Note, I will take the battery apart and find out exactly whats in there. Based on the run times I'm getting, and 3 full cycle tests...I believe it's over 4,000 for sure and maybe close to 5,000. I ran 3 tests on it. Got 3,700 the first time (hadn't initialized it yet)...then ran a few full cycles in my phone and got 4,780mah the 2nd test, and then 4,460 on the third. Then I put in in my phone and just enjoyed using the longer time, and decided to stop obsessing about whether it was really 5400mah or not. It's by far the most legit extended battery I've purchased. All the others I eventually took apart and found 'used' batteries that do NOT add up to the claimed Mah.

For weeks I have been trying to port the sense 4 ICS 4 to our beloved Nexus One... and all i have been able to succeed with is to get it to boot to the Nexus one Logo.. I think i am missing some files..and also the Kernel might be the biggest part of the entire problem...Can anybody help me with what i need to change and include when porting.. for base roms i have used MIUI, and all the other ICS roms for Nexus One.. it flash successfully but Never Boot pass the X(nexus one logo)...PLEASE HELP.. :confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirajpant7:
Did you logcat your build? Try finding a suitable kernel from other ports and ask permission from the dev.

Cheers
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeloOw:
We should wait the DHD kernel release ,would be easier to port ?
[LG Optimus 2x] tkkyobaby1:
a friend got a HTC ONE X which is using Tegra3. Just so so.
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
Yes, because ICS is not optimized for quad core. Plus, it is Tegra 3 which means no support.
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
OP, you're not making yourself clear. Please elaborate.

Sorry, but how is that so? What is your definition of an OS not being "optimized" for multiple cores? Based on my limited knowledge, kernels take control of the activation and deactivation of the cores, and the apps themself are the ones that are supposed to "take advantage" of the cores.

How is an OS supposed be "optimized" for a quad core CPU?
[LG Optimus 2x] lovelylain:
Now I think buying a tegra inside device is not a good idea, the same with lg.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
That is up there with some of the stupidest things iv ever read.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I think the Android ecosystem is so complex that occasional lags are bound to happen even if we reach a point of using 8 cores on a smartphone. (And that, is why iOS is so smooth with slower hardware. It's a simpler OS.)

But the Tegra3 pretty much leaves everyone in the dust when it comes to games.
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
But when it comes to support... oh noes
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
The international version of the HTC One X with Tegra 3 has already gotten its full sources released a while ago.

At least it seems Nvidia isn't as unsupportive as we think they are. LG, apparently, is the one that is holding back from releasing sources for us.
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
Yea, but when Android 5 comes out then I hope that they will release all the necessary stuff. That may make me think better about Nvidia.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
With nvidia drivers and hals to the public?
[LG Optimus 2x] owain94:
ok good for you

now i am goign to enjoy my Quad Core phone again okay?
[LG Optimus 2x] s4ms3milia:
What is the point of this thread? As for desktop PC's, more cores = better (most of the time). Since dual cores work just fine in both GB and ICS the same goes for quad cores. And NO, quad cores don't mean less battery duration.
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
Maybe he is just jeaulous :) but i dont think a phone needs quad core. For web browsing and watching videos (well.. lol tegra 2 ;)) some gameing. dual core is more than enough. As i mentiond some time ago in other thread this reminds me of megapixel hunt in compact digital cameras market.
[LG Optimus 2x] Durio:
And what was the purpose of posting it here? do you want to make an excuse that quadcore isn't nowhere near better than dualcore? :D

I agree with someone said quadcore isn't really important for mobile phone. If only O2x have more than 512 MB RAM I bet it will last for next 2-3 years
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
It can still last for 2-3 years, you just wont be able to multitask when playing games so much in the future.

quadcores will be **** if they dont have that 5th core for when there isnt much going on or they will chew through battery.

The new huwai something has its own quadcore and it smashes all cuurent quad cores in benchmarks, tegra 3 the exenos ect. But if it doesnt have that 5th core it will probably be bad. Its said to come with a 2300mah battery.
[LG Optimus 2x] Durio:
But branding sometimes matter. Market rarely pay attention to a brand like Huawei,compared to samsung. I heard Meizu MX also decent but yeah it has the same market problem

[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:

Okay so ive had my Nexus since Nov last year. Ive been reading about people getting fast data speeds 10Mbs+. But the fastest ive ever seen is 4Mbs. Tried changing to the "phone" APN, but that only helped with ping time.

Can anyone in New York City with AT&T chime in with their setup or suggestions on getting better speeds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehgyb:
4mbps on at&ts hspa+ sounds about right for NYC...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farrock02:
Oh okay just trying to make sure im not messing out on some speed. BTW are you using the default APN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Did you test in the middle of the night to eliminate congestion? Then try different locations to see an average.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
11 mbps... not AT&T but T-Mobile in NYC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farrock02:
Yes I have. BTW that speedtest app using alot of F**king data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
So your speeds are fine. Stop wasting your data and just use your phone. Its all good!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farrock02:
that sound great. I actually purchased a tmobile pre paid sim to try it out a few weeks ago.

1: signal in my house was really bad

2: signal in midtown where I work was just okay(I get better service with at&t)

tmobile just doesnt work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farrock02:
okay cool. Just to get you thinking again. I just tethered my phone and computer and speed test is showing 7.5 down. I really think the speedtest app isnt really that accurate

Yeah it would be nice to have that kind of speed but I personally don't really need it. For the most I just want web pages to load fast. I don't stream much video at all.

Also how much is your bill on verzon? I'm paying $120 after tax for my nexus and my girls iPhone 4s. That's pretty damn good if you ask me

get the free app called quick pic. allows you to hide what ever folder or pix you want. it works great.

Put them in any folder with a name starting with a period. You could make for example: "/sdcard/.secretpornfolder"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chrono_Tata:
I also recommend Quick Pic but just pointing out that the stock gallery app is extremely buggy and even after putting a nomedia file in a folder you want to hide it doesn't start hiding the folder until you wipe the data of the gallery app so that it refreshes the folder list. Don't bother with it though and use Quick Pic instead.

Run into this one - I use HIDE IT PRO - apart from media files you can lock and hide apps etc - I use it mostly to hide bloatware from my apps list as I find it annoying.

Hello,

i've the same problem too. it's not only limited to slim ics.

In my case the problems are on several ics-roms

In about the last 2 month i tried the following ics roms:

-dark knight 5.5

-slim ics 3.4, 3.5 an finally 3.8

-last but not least twics 3.01

Every rom has still this bug.

I can't find an option to show/hide SIM-Contacts in the phonebook-settings menu. Besides there is no option to store them local on the phone. I can only choose my Google-Acc.

Any ideas?

Update:

Just checked out teamnyx (ICSSGS) RC5 rom and the problem is still there .

It seems to be a problem with cm9-based custom roms....

I'm not sure if everybody uses this, but Autostarts is one of my favorite root apps and I recommend it to all of my friends who have rooted. I don't see too many people talking about it anymore so I figured I would remind everyone of this awesome app. It allows you to prevent any apps from running on their own. After using Titanium Backup to debloat my ROM, I then open up Autostarts and run down the list and disable any apps that I don't want to startup without my say so. I did this on my Epic 4G Touch and never needed to flash a single custom ROM because I was able to get the stock ROM running flawlessly. It is an invaluable tool to me and I recommend it highly.
