Just ordered the Hyperion x 2200mAh batteries + NFC with the BLACK Universal charger instead of the "older" set that comes with the white charger and batteries with No NFC. The price of these sets went up from $14.99 to $25.00... Oh well. I should get them in a week or so. The majority of the negative reviews in Amazon for the white set were centered on the White Universal charger. Has anyone here tested these "newer" batteries with NFC and the black charger?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tkbredx:
those reviews are absolutely terrible lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] falcons2:
I went with the 2 ankers for 16 and a charger for 5
[Galaxy S III Accessories] skatin707:
I've had great experience with hyperion batteries, so I imagine these are pretty solid too. They may not be 2200mAh, but they are good batteries. I plan on ordering some soon since my work days seem to be getting longer and longer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wonton2049:
These are not really an OEM. I wondered about it too. The model number is fake and does;t match up with the real Samsung battery. Though the listing states the definition of NFC, it does not have it.

The seller got back to me stating that it is not an original. These people are misleading when they include "OEM" in their description.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] slaakker:
Thanks for the link and the info. Just ordered. Figured for 25 bucks to get two batteries and a charger it was worth the try.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tamanaco:
Got the 2 x 2200mAh Hyperion batteries and black charger yesterday and charged one of the batteries overnight. The charger is basically the same that shipped with some El Cheapo batteries I bought for my Captivate from eBay a while ago. The only difference is that it's made to fit the larger SGSIII battery. The charger also has a USB port on the top side so you can charge your phone and charge your backup battery simultaneously. It also has a light on top that lights up in magenta when the battery is charging and turns cyan when the battery is fully charged. After charging them for 12 hours the 1st time (recommended in the instructions) I placed the phone and it shows a 100% charge. The instructions also state to cycle the batteries 4 to 5 times for best performance. These new version of the batteries "supposedly" have NFC as labeled on the back of the batteries. (Red arrow in the 1st picture) I only plan to use these batteries to keep me going for a couple hours when the originals are drained.. This usually happens on Friday nights as I end up staying out late in a bar somewhere. So, I probably won't be posting how they perform because I always put the originals back in the phone when I get back home.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
the black charger looks strikingly similar to the one i just bought on ebay for 3 bucks

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tamanaco:
Yeap, that's it. Had I known, for sure, that the black charger was the same as those available in eBay I'd have bought just the batteries. The two positive things about buying the Amazon combo is that it comes with a 90-day warranty from Hyperion and that it's delivered within a week instead of the 10-20 days wait when shipped from China. I also did not find the Hyperion 2200 mAh batteries with NFC in eBay. Oh well, I hope other readers find this info helpful when making their battery choices.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geolemon:
People were complaining about the charger on that one, if you notice all the complaints.

I bought this one, because it looked like the same type of charger that I got with my Chichitec batteries that worked well with my E4GT:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FQGN7K/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Same price, better charger.

The battery is actually slightly thicker than the stock battery - so there's probably some credence to the 2200mah claim. I haven't noticed too much difference,but it's only 100mah - hard to notice.

I may actually sell mine, only because I'm doing the wireless charge mod, and could use the extra mm inside the case.

I'd keep the charger, but would be willing to trade two 2200 mah Hyperion batteries for one virgin stock battery. I really only need one extra battery (and "need" is even a strong word in my case) anyway. I'm rolling it around in my head anyway. Don't know if I really want to bother with shipping and all that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
In a ROM Development thread Ive noticed that someone ported Touchwiz UX to work with certain Custom ROM's. In the Mother thread for the "ux" port, They call it "ux" from sgs3... But the sgs3 comes with touchwiz 5.0... So im confused as to the REAL version of this "named" version. Did the OP from the sgs3 forum assume that the version he was porting was ux, and didnt realize that it was actually 5.0? Or is it the real ux version from the tab 10.1, 8.9, 7.7, and 7.0 plus? Can someone really pin this down.

Also what are the benefits/differences from using the port, and do we REALLY know which version it is(because sgs3 comes with 5.0). Im going to post over there and direct to this thread to clear this up, as well as a post in my ROM DEV thread...

Heck, maybe its an invalid question and you can just call me an idiot and disregard...

But thanks ahead, for the replies.

EDIT: REFERENCE MATERIAL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
As far as I know and this is just an uneducated assumption, TouchWiz in general is the actual shell that runs on top of Android kind of like Sense or Blur, etc. It is a framework so calling it TouchWiz 5.0 could refer to the entire framework Samsung has released for SGS3. TouchWiz UX Launcher is probably just the name of that version of the TouchWiz home launcher if I had to guess. Make sense?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caffeine81:
I'm wondering if there are known problems when partitioning 32GB (Class 10) microSD cards with multiple partitions?

I'm asking because I have the same problem with two 32GB cards from different vendors. I wanted to replace the 16GB Class 2 card I'm using in my HTC Desire for A2SD (M2SD to be exact) with a 32GB Class 10.

First I bought a Transcend 32GB Class 10 and partitioned it like

1. fat32 (30750MB)

2. ext3 (1000MB)

3. swap (250MB)

I had this setup running a few days when I noticed strange behaviour and sudden application crashes. In the output of dmesg I could see I/O errors when accessing the SD card. The SD card mount points where then mounted read-only (which caused the applications to crash).

I thought the card was broken and bought a new one (also 32GB Class 10) by SanDisk. I partitioned this card the same way as before and while copying backups from the first card onto the new one (on a PC) there were again I/O errors on the new card.

Either I have very bad luck or there are known problems when partitioning 32GB microSDs with multiple partitions? For the record I didn't have any problems with the old 16GB card (it had a fat32 and ext3 partition).

What's strange however is that when the 32GB card has only one fat32 partition (the default so to say) there were no errors when copying some dummy data onto it.

Gotta love XDA's finest. You guys make it hard to actually brick a phone. In the end there will always be a way out of a brick so long as we have XDA developers supporting the device :) I'm stuck at the S/W Upgrade screen from a failed baseband update using the LG tool and I'm trying this method now. My IParam is scrolling so I'm sure it's doing the job.

Booted and everything's great. It's unfortunate that I restored to a stock ROM and used the LG Tool which failed miserably before using this method instead. I thought this method took more work and look at that, for being hard-headed I ended up having to do more work than I would have had I just done it this way from the beginning.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] likethesocks:
Lucky me - my "new" replacement phone showed up and I went to work getting it all setup; rooted, ROM loaded, apps and settings - went to make a phone call and experienced what I am assuming to be "the "chirping" sound during a call" cited for the V21Y March 11, 2012 baseband. My settings verified the culprit baseband in question.

I am currently running through TGA_Gunnman's "NANDROID Restore Stock FR 2.22 V10f / GB 2.33 V21e and 2.34 V21y" tutorial to get back to stock and then unroot to follow this one. I am assuming I will need to use the "V21Y_00.kdz - data for the March 11 2012 baseband" but I'm bit unclear on how the "V21Y-BB.Fix.zip" plays into your instructions.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. - THX!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
That bb fix zip is what owain made, just flash that to fix the chirping noise if you have it, it's so you can be on the new baseband and also a custom ROM

That sounds good - I am running into trouble with the update however. I get all the way down through a bunch of the IParams till it hits this one -

CDMA: wParam = 2010, IParam = 3035

Model Dll Msg Not Found(2010, 3035)
​

where it just hangs indefinitely. Tried it a few times and have a log saved if that would be of any help. I'm using an actual Windows XP machine (not a VM).

Thoughts?

Edit: Why do I get the sinking feeling I could have just flashed the BB fix to begin with? * sigh *
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
Is the USB connection staying connected? It disconnected around that on me sometimes and I had to retry, you could also try going into device manager and finding the LG Modem and disabling and re enabling it really quick (if the process hanged at a specific area during the Param spamming session longer than a minute it basically timed out, at least for me)

You said you were on the March baseband so why are you flashing it again? You need to V21E if you're switching. V21E July 15 2011/ V21Y March 11 2012 are the basebands.

You probably did just need to flash the bb fix zip that's why I mainly mentioned that :/ been at work so I'm sorry I haven't been able to be more clear

[T-Mobile LG G2x] likethesocks:
Yeah - I ran the LG tool just to confirm my suspicions... guess I should have done that first. I did quite a bit of searching on the issue before deciding to nuke but didn't find the info spelled out for me (I'm still a rather "step by step" n00b, unfortunately)

It all works out though - The Eaglesblood ROM I was/am using updated since the version I installed Tuesday. It not only included the fix but a sweet install interface that did a lot of the leg work for me! - I am up and running great now! I used Titanium Backup Pro so the setup process wasn't quite so laborious.

When I'm doing this to get from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 for the y21y BB the kdz update will get to the part where it says

To be exact this is the full error.

Works fine for me. I just downgrade it to July baseband.

USB cable -> make sure you use the original cable from LG.

1st time flashing -> use Nokia cable -> failed -> stuck at Iparam=40++. (CWM is not removed). After reboot. The Phone Shows BB as July and bluetooth for car is working again. (So eventhough its stuck, the BB is already showing as July)

2nd time flashing -> use original LG cable -> works fine until Iparam=100. (CWM is removed when the program completed).

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
I kept getting "mod uptestex mfc has stopped working" with vista. I needed to use VMware to run XP and then I was finally able to get it to downgrade to July 2011. Also once it gets to 100 you need to just unplug the phone because it will continue to bootloop until you install CWM and flash a rom or restore a nandroid. If you are doing this to get Bluetooth working in CM7.2 you will need to reflash 7.2 over your current 7.2 or you will have no call audio.

Dumb enough to get in trouble, smart enough to not make it worse

So, thought I was slick, I'm not, I'm a noob. Tmobile G2x in North America (Dallas, to be exact.) Was running 2.3.4 stock.

Downloaded & installed EAGLESBLOOD™ ICS AOSP [4.0.4]. Unfortunately, despite some thought of "was there a warning about this? I think I saw something somewhere" I did flash the baseband radio during the install.

Phone runs fine now, just have the dreaded click/thump noise and limited data. Can't make calls

Searched and found this thread. Looks like the cure but I'm unclear:

- Do I have to go back to stock (and if so, is there any concensus on which method to follow. I've seen several different threads)

- If I follow this thread, which files do I download/install? When I pull up "About Phone" I have baseband version M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [Mar 11 2012]

I'm sorry for my ignorance but I thought I'd ask before I install something and only make my problems worse.

Thanks,

[T-Mobile LG G2x] NSingh95:
Hey thanks for being so patient and please look over these steps so I can be sure of what I am doing, I truly appreciate your help.

Okay so to get it perfect, I am running eagles blood 4.0.3 with older baseband obviously.

I don't need to change anything before I continue to follow the instructions provided at the beginning of this thread.

If something happens later I should be able to revert back to the old baseband? Also do the older Roms work on the newer baseband??

After successfully completing all the steps my phone should be in the loop mode

At this time I should remove the battery and connect the phone to the computer via USB while holding down the both volume buttons

Lauch the oneclickrecover.exe and follow the instructions to flash CWM recovery

Then I can proceed to restore the nandroid backup I will make before doing anything.

Let me know if anything additional needs to be done.

Thanks for you help. !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
You should be able to switch back, I switch back and forth constantly with the kdz program without any problems. There are small zip files for each baseband to get the call audio to work for any ROM. I hear people say the new baseband helps GPS and battery life but I personally have seen no evidence of that and tested it and for myself personally that isn't true. I'm on the July 2011 baseband now since I just saw no reason to stay on the new one.

Those steps should work they're exactly what I do when I switch basebands on my phone and I don't have a problem.

but i do have some serious issues after rooting the phone putting on rom manager and installing the recovery startup, and installed eagleblood asop for the 21y, the install failed put me in an endless loop, and the rom manager recovery was not working either... i have since tried several other roms with no luck and cant figure out what im doing wrong
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
The call audio isn't an issue with the stock ROM that it installed with the baseband.

How are you flashing the ROM's? ROM Manager (app) is pretty much useless on this device. Use the NvFlashed CWM (assuming you did this when you refer to installing recovery startup)

If not, NvFlash CWM: NvFlash Guide

Boot into CWM

Backup working ROM (if you have one still, stock Nandroids in OP)

Wipe data/factory reset

Format /system

Wipe cache partition

Install EB AOSP zip

Install respective Gapps

Reboot

So I'm on the 21y bb and I've tried several ics roms using owain's bb fix. The problem is I get a lot of missed calls and no ringings. It randomly goes straight to vm. Is this a common issue with the baseband fix or am I just cursed? Considering trying to go to 21e but I see a lot of people having issues with kdz... anyone have a similar issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fuzzy bee:
Possibly a dumb question, but is the implication that the only way to downgrade from 21y to 21e is using Windows XP?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
I haven't had that problem or happen to see anyone else have it, maybe you have an app set to block calls? Does re flashing the ROM not fix it?

At the time I attempted to figure this out for myself I heard it only works for XP and haven't had any success since to get it to work with a different OS. Recently I've seen people say it works on Windows 7, but if it requires any editing to do that I wouldn't know what since it just freezes and crashes for me with Windows 7.

First of all Thanks a lot for posting this.

Successfully went back to V21e so that I can use CM7 with Bluetooth audio.

I can confirm that it does not work on Windows 7 (64 bit) as it is, but it does work with XP mode. I know OP mentions that it works in XP mode, but the reason I am posting this is because I was not able to install XP mode successfully, had to do some digging before XP mode worked.

Here is how to install XP mode:

1) Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

2) Click on "Don’t need XP Mode and want VPC only? Download Windows Virtual PC without Windows XP Mode."

3) Select you version and language and download 16MB Visual PC

4) Install it. Then go to the link in #1 again, this time skip step 2 above and select the version and language

5) After this, I was able to download 500 mb XP mode and install it.

Hope this helps someone.
