[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] theking_13:
Coming from someone who has owned Solo HDs, Tours, Studios, and iBeats, I would say the in ear ones are not worth it, period, and that its better to invest in the over the ear, for two reasons.

One, I usually use in ear headphones for casual use, in the gym, anywhere where I just stuff them in my picket after using them. So I don't really take care of them at all, and the headphone plug is usually the thing that breaks. The plug on the Beats is nothing special, the actual speakers are. So with that in mind, I broke my Tours 3 months in twice, and now awaiting the warranty ones to come in so I can sell them new. I prefer $20 JVC Marshmellow headphones since again, I don't use in ears for anything special. And if they break, just go and buy another pair, nothing to freak out about. Great sound too, and very light.

Now for the on ear ones, Solo HDs and Studios, I've listened to plain Solos and for the extra $30, the quality is definitely noticeable. The Solos just are a bass house, while the Solo HDs are a lot more balanced and have better sound. The Studios are better, clearly, and offer real notice cancellation that actually works. The only downside, is the constant use of batteries. I hated that. I prefer my Solo HDs to the Studios mainly because of that. Now, if the cable on the Solos/Studios breaks, I can simply get another for $5-15, depending the the brand since its just a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm, nothing proprietary or fancy.

In the end, using White Solo HDs and loving every second. Hope this helps. :)

Honestly these headphones put out some junky sound.

Thanks for the link though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Plasmamuffins:
iBeats sucks in my opinion. It's really bass heavy and both treble and bass are muddy. After a short period of time, they actually start to hurt the inside of your ear canals. They aren't worth $200 like eBay says, they're worth $99. But $40 is a good price for mediocre headphones. If you want to spend a little extra cash, I would recommend you get the klipsch s4i. I switched to them after using the iBeats for a year and I'm disappointed at what I've been missing this whole time. They're balanced, bass heavy when need be, and they don't hurt after prolonged periods of use. I love my klipsch s4i's. They're $99 as well. :P

I'm not trashing Beats btw, the big headphones from Dr. Dre are pretty good. Albeit a bit pricey.

If someone has a link for a good price on some s4i or similar iems I'd really appreciate that. Looking to upgrade from the "higher end" skullcandies. And in my experience those skullcandies blew the beats ear buds out of the water. Beats are truly a fashion accessory.

i recently bought a p970g from koodo android 2.3.4 with v20j firmware ..im a total newb at this and searched to no avail on how to get it rooted.... superone click hangs at root 7 stage ..unlock root can't find shell root .....lg drivers are installed sucessfully... tried cw method but that tutorial isnt for newbs and not too detailed ..can someone simplify it for me..or in other words spell it out and direct links to the exact downloads i need ..much appreciated thanks
[LG Optimus Black] lean7:
Hi jaynjolie

Enter here search the download page and download UPK 3.7

inside that zip file you will find BlackJack then follow the instruccions to root your phone, it's really easy
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
Afaik blackjack doesn't work on GB firmware

[LG Optimus Black] jaynjolie:
do it work or not please? can someone verify this phone and be rooted and still work with koodo Canada provider? thank you
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
fw version doesn't matter, and blackjack won't work. you have to flash binary files with smartflash. later, you can easily update your apn config file with this. but before all, be sure that you've tried all known methodds correctly (superoneclick, unlockroot, esteem...)
[LG Optimus Black] jdayscokn:
Apn for koodo

Apn = sp.koodo.com

Proxy = 74.49.0.18

Port = 80

I have the koodo fw in bin/fls format with cwm already injected so you'd just have to use smartflash to get it on your phone, then reboot into recovery and flash superuser to gain root access. Let me know or try the cwm inject method yourself. You can get the koodo branded fw at http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
[LG Optimus Black] jaynjolie:
sure would love to have that firmware ..would you provide the link or you can pm me if you don't prefer to upload it ? and do i need to enter the apn myself or is it not needed on your firmware? thanks
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
smartflash will erase everything, so backup all saveable things. CWM will let you to do backups after having flashed. A specific branded fw is not necessary, unless if it's your aim. this way you'll avoid additional apps included by the operator, but they're also downloadable on store maybe ?
[LG Optimus Black] jaynjolie:
erasing eveverything isnt a big deal ..my phone is a week old and only a few contacts to add ...im not concerned about that... i just want to install the best firmware compatable with my device with the cwm already added so i can flash it with smartflash ..so it is easier for me ...im very new to phone modification ..but im not bad with computers...what FW is recommended .....thanks for your responses
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
note : it contains pdf guides. But I advice you to read the thread to inform yourself at least. you'll get some basics.
[LG Optimus Black] jaynjolie:
i see the v20o patched says deu ..will that still work with a canadIAN PROVIDER and its injected with touch my phone is p970g

?thanks for your help
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
no problem, it's only the default language of the fw. it should detect your network's language and switch automatically at first boot when the wizard is launched. if not, just change it in settings.

1. Root your device and install Root Explorer.

2. Use your phone until the phone switches itself off (battery empty)

3. Switch on once more to make sure battery really is 0% (it will then immediately switch off once more)

4. Now, keep switched off (!), plug in charger & leave in charging until 100%

5. When battery is full, switch the phone on, unplug & check if the batter immediately drops 1 or 2 %

6. If battery immediately drops, plug in charger once more (while running phone) & let it charge completely

7. Once charging to 100% is done, don't plug off your charger, open your root explorer, at the top just click mount R/O, then it will set as mounted as R/O.

8.Ok, now open the 'Data' folder.

9.In the 'Data' folder, keep scrolling at the bottom and you will find 'System' Folder.

10.Open the 'System' folder and find 'batterystats.bin'.

11.Now you have to delete the 'batterystats.bin'. How to delete it?

12.Tap the 'batterystats.bin' and it will show the file option, select 'delete'.

13.Once it done, quick the root explorer and use the phone as usual until it switches itself off (battery empty).

14.Please don't charge your phone if the battery are not completely empty.

15.Charge your phone while running phone as usual until it shows 100% battery.

16.make sure that during discharging,don't reboot your phone or the system will create a new batterystats.bin file or if already made, it will get corrupted and you will have to start again from first step

17.Done this in 4 or 5 cycle, i mean the step 15 until step 18.

18.Now enjoy the 'long life' Samsung Battery Life!!

Note: these methods are not permanent and your battery stats may again get messed up any day, then you should repeat the method from first step.

You may try this a few battery tips here.

Sorry about recall an old thread, but I think is important to say that 4-6 deep discharge/charge cycles are recomend for new batteries by all manufacters. Normally people tend to bypass this procedure leading to use of batteries not completly "formed", thus lack of battery duration.

This process is not that recomended on old batteries as lion batteries don't like deep discharges.

Wiping battery stats in no, way, shape, or form affects battery indication. Please do some fact-checking regarding the subject matter at hand rather than perpetuating gross misinformation. The notion that wiping battery stats does anything even remotely useful was clearly and concisely debunked long ago.

The only actual valid posts in this thread have been from mr_clean5953, WastedJoker, and zelendel.The OP itself is riddled with misinformation and following the piss-poor advice given therein will shorten your battry's life.

The same holds true for the advice for 4-6 deep discharge cycles prior to first use. It is totally unnecessary and contrary to what was stated, is not recommended by manufacturers of lithium-based batteries. The individual posting that may have been confused by the fact that it is a recommended practice for nickel-based batteries. Li-ion and lithium polymer batteries see no benefit from "priming" prior to first use. The singular effect of following that misguided advice is a shortened serviceable life of the battery.

I would not recommend to do this extensive charge and deep discharge you will destroy your Li-Ion battery.

This is translated by google from the german wikipedia (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-Ionen-Akkumulator)

so the best is just fully charge your phone leave it connected to the charger and delete the battery.bin and reboot

hi. did you find any solution to your problem? after I rooted my xperia neo with gingerbreak, my battery went to 0% and cannot be charged more in my phone.

I know this is an older thread, but I still believe that wiping the batt stat ALWAYS made my phone last longer! I would EASILY get 24 hours battery life after wiping and putting new rom on. After a few weeks or better, my batt life would go down to just a couple of hours!! I would use the Wipe Batt Stats in CWM and, VOILA! Back to 24 hours!! I don't understand why anyone could say that it doesn't do anything! Now that CWM took it out, I have to do it manually! I do it about every 3 to 4 weeks and I'm back to 24 hours batt life! Would someone that knows more than I please explain to me why it is a so called myth when it works perfectly for me? Am I just in another world or what? I just don't understand!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Placebo and logical fallacy. Those are the only reasons why you perceive it to have any effect.

Google's senior Android framework engineer, the individual who is repainted for much of the coding of the operating system and knows more about this than any other, had clearly and concisely debunked the myth of wiping battery stats. The statement that wiping battery stats will affect battery life has the exact same truth value as the statement that our moon is made of green cheese.

There is absolutely nothing contained in the file that you are wiping that is pertinent to battery life or indication. The one and only thing you are wiping is information pertaining to which apps held wakelocks and for how long.

If you want to read up on the subject, you can check out www.batteryuniversity.com and the Google Plus page of Dianne Hackborn.

im having a problem as it seems my phone doesnt know what level the batter at.

phone is samsung galaxy exhibit running 4.4.4

before that I had 5.1.1

and stock rom is 4.2.1 or was it 4.1.2. cant remember.

anyway I had to flash back to the 4.4.4 due a system crash problem related to an app.

and I do a full complete wipe so there is nothing left.

now when ever I reboot the phone it. says what ever it wants to say about the battery level.

I charge it and it says it charged at 97% but I wait and it goes to 100%

then I reboot and it sometimes says 30% or 60%

and now I been trying to drain the battery and phones been at 2% for two hours.

wtf is going on....

Im going to have to leave my phone running all day without charge to try and drain the battery.

its actually been awhile sense the phone died.

People who say deleting battery stats don't change anything, should look for some facts.

Let's say, I have new phone and battery quickly goes down to 1% and what a mircle(!) - the phone is still working at full power and screen on for a few hours and more.

Deleting battery stats for sure doesn't extend phone on time, BUT it can help calibrate your battery properly so that remaining % is displayed more accurately!

So where are Google engineers now?

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

Ok so after a bit of playing around I have seamed to rid of the battery cut off at 15% - 20% and so on.

As I done the battery reclab I noticed when I drained the battery the phone would turn off then I'd restart the phone it would boot alittle then shut off. Then I'd plug it in and the display would be an instant % around 5% -10% -15% . So from that I noticed the battery was not discharged to 0%.

What I did was boot into recovery and keept the screen on for as long as it needed till the battery really died and the screen turned off. I was surprised how much battery was left. Depending on your battery?. It took me around 30min to die.

After that I then plugged it in to do a full charge with phone off.

Let battery die again boot back to recovery and keep screen on Antill screen shutoff.

Do full charge again.

Antill you see your battery shut off at normal 0%.

I did this twice. You may need to do it more depending on your battery state.

Give it a go. Who knows it may work for you.

Good luck

What can I do to solve the problem?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidzer1:
I'll just say again that fully discharging a Li-ion battery is not good and will shorten it's life. Totally the opposite of NiCad and NiMH batteries which are a completely different chemistry. Google Battery University and learn a few things there about Li-Ion. Regarding the battery percentage readings I am not sure why they get so far off on some phones but forget the percentage stuff and look at the actual battery voltage (many apps will show accurate voltage out to 3 decimal points). If your voltage is at or near 4.395 volts your battery is fully charged. At least this is valid for most Samsung phones - your mileage may vary with other phones which my use a Li-Ion battery with slightly different chemistry. Charge level of Li-Ion batteries is very closely related to their voltage reading unlike Ni-Mh which can have a near full voltage reading while only being charged 5 to 10 percent.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoemTechGuy:
This method is EXTREMELY dangerous, especially if you keep repeating it. This method will damage your battery and you will make it even worse than at the beggining.

Use this method instead:

1. Root your device;

2. Download "Battery Calibration" app from Google Play;

3. Download "ES File Explorer File Manager" app too from Google Play;

4. Charge your device to full;

5. Open "Battery Calibration" app and use premium option to calibrate ( You will have to watch an ad );

6. Wait for it to calibrate and then open ES File Explorer File Manager;

7. Press a button at the top left corner of the app;

8. Find "Root Explorer" and "Show Hidden Files" features and enable them ( At Root Explorer, if it asks you to Allow or Deny the permission, allow it );

9. Press a button next to the Home button in the program. Some folders should show up;

10. Press Slash above the folders and search for "batterystats.bin".

11. Delete the file and restart your device.

This is a method that can't damage your battery.

1:00 PM - Take phone out of charger.. Battery is at 100%
