[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad1001:
hello :)

i have a few questions and would really appreciate if you could answer me;

1: ive seen a 1800 2100 and 2500 mah batteries on ebay i.e:

www.ebay.com/itm/1800mAh-Battery-Pa...420094?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab886c5be

are the the same size and compatible with my i9100 (i dont want my device to explode or somthing :cool: )

2: my i9100 is taking for ever to be charged... it can take up to 4-5 hours from 0-100% is it normal?

3: it also heating up very often to 38-48 c (at least thats what the app tells me) is that normal also??

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
1). You'd be lucky to get more than 1400 mAh on any of them, and if it says it fits, there's no reason to think otherwise

2). If you're using it at the same time, yes

3). Yes
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etraud.a:
same questions...

I have been tempted to buy one of the extended batteries, so what you say is that they are not good quality and will not last more than the stock one?

I also get bery high temepratures on the phone, is there a way to kow the limits on temperature for this phone?

Thanks, I have the same questions :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
1. You can use the bigger battery but I think the 2000mah needs a bigger battery cover.

2. Are you charging it through the wall or usb? Some roms have a fast charge option but might break the usb port.

3. Heating is normal. Just let it rest for a bit. You can try to take the battery out for a few minutes

Hope it helps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad1001:
Usually ivcharge with cable... but a fast charge can break the USB port???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
That's what I've heard. I've been told not to use it. Might heat up the port and break something
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
So I just got my replacement Nexus from Verizon today, and all seems well so far, I proceed to root it about 2 minutes after activating it (a new record for me!) and that all went well, and I also unlocked the bootloader.

I installed ROM Manager from Play, and I accidentally tapped the "Sprint" model when it asked me to select my phone model (I'm on Verizon).

I wanted to know if there was a way to re-select my phone model?

PS: I've tried a factory reset, uninstalling ROM Manager, and clearing all the cache files I can find.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Have you tried wiping data from ROM Manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
I actually fixed it, and it required me to re-flash the recovery, then re-download ROM Manager, all is well now, and Thanks for the reply!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You shouldn't use ROM Manager anyways

Is there a way to do screen shot on non rooted ice cream?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] inpherknow:
Volume down and power button.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dilfatx:
Prefect! Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Justananomaly:
Alternatively home softbutton+power button at the same time still works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imabug:
hmm, can't get either method to work on my freshly updated phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Atmazzz:
If you don't mind paying a few bucks Screenshot UX works great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imabug:
Power + home still works. Just have to keep it pressed longer, then it will take the screen shot.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobad:
Just got my S3 and been trying to download my 275+ apps through play store but I am getting very slow speeds.

I have tried to download over both work and home wireless router but the speeds are really slow even when trying to web browse.

It is really slow to an extent where the webpage at times fails to load.

Any suggestionss?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
dial *#0011# and press menu, select wifI and turn power saving mode off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
Does help for me tho. I saw virtually no speed change :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasgh:
This has been bugging me as well.

After triple checking everything on the phone I went to my router. The 2.4ghz channel was set to "mixed mode". Setting it ti "G only" it now seems to only drop to 32mbps where it was going and staying at 5mbps before.

Power save mode had no noticeable effect while in mixed mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drdeesnutts:
Go to opensource.samsung.co m

And search for t989 ics

I don't know if this helps or when it was released. If it doesn't help or someone has already posted this then I expect to be flamed. If it helps I expect to be your supreme leader.

I'll go back to looking at porn now.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] billytkid:
Hi all,

I'm about to sell my 7.7 its a great device but the OS sluggyness (more than a second to unluck is not right) is getting on my nerves.

Its clear this isnt going to get any form of regular updates so to stave my losses on it I'm going to sell this now and ideally do so before the Google Tablet arrives.

Is a great machine but with the lack of dev community its a no go for any early adopters liking to play.

Real shame samsung.

btk
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Is this where we post "Cool story bro"?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] acid123:
Just remove the lock option if its peeing you off,

i don't have it set on mine so its instant off,

also use another launcher or if you like the stock launch then just have it set with the single home screen,

i currently use the TW launcher with 1 home screen and 2 widgets no problems,

have come close to buying another tablet but there isn't one that feels as good a the 7.7...

:cool:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
I still cannot believe that the nexus tablet is going to be sold as cheap as it is rumored to be atm.

Anyways, let's say it really is: Then it would actually be a good idea to get rid of the unsupported tab 7.7 in time, as you could easily buy two nexus tabs for the money the 7.7 is valued right now.

I think there has to be a hook somewhere.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] irmani:
it is a really good idea i have a same feeling too
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rEVOLVE:
I guess I see it as a quirky exotic car. Not as reliable as a cheaper econobox, but 7.7 has my favorite combination of build quality, super thin form factor - yet great battery life, and awesome screen. To me there isn't enough improvement over the 7.7 with the Nexus Tablet that makes me want to swap.

As others have mentioned, swap out the stock launcher & browser, use NoLock, etc. I have tweaked around almost all the deficiencies of the 7.7 and have 99% of what I want in my perfect tablet. The only troublesome issues are this random looping reboot problem that we're discussing in the other thread I haven't been able to make headway with and also that i wish i could enable bluetooth phone profile on the Verizon version.

Maybe when more details are announced for Nexus Tab that make it more awesome, and if the damn random reboot problem on my VZ 7.7 keeps happening.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] globiboulga:
I do sympathize with the OP. The 7.7 will be my last Samsung product. it's simply not acceptable anymore to launch a premium tablet without appropriate support when the software is just not adequate.

This said, I agree with above. It is still the "best" hardware on the market as far as 7" format goes, with the only possible upgrades being the processor and the screen (resolution wise; would make a huge difference for ebook reading - you get used to the retina screen). I'd have to wait to be tempted by any of the upcoming models, an still seriously hope Samsung will do the right thing and release ICS soon.

The main drawback compared to the Google offering will be the lack of phone option.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
100% agreed
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zsolti256:
There will be compromise, Mostly screen Nothing beats Amoled!!, no gsm 3g, maybe tiny battery , bigger chunkyer, not magnesium crappyer build quality. The reason the cpu will be good is because it will be mass manufactured, and thats why the price will be so affordable. I think.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] slide200sx:
I was reading a report online last week that spoke of them going into mass production with some CPU manufacturer, lets see as I have my good days and bad day with the galaxy tab 7.7....

Do wish they would kick the ICS out for this baby and we could see if worth keeping or not, but yes I totally agree with most people on this and Samsung has dropped the ball on this and will be my last Samsung product
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rEVOLVE:
I also agree with OP's point to an extent. I actually went from an original Galaxy Tablet, to the 7 Plus, and hate that Samsung does this to their customers. They got our money and forgot about after purchase support. If the 7.7 wasn't such a great device I wouldn't have went with another Samsung.

The next best device I would consider for myself would be the Toshiba Thrive 7.7 - also a SAMOLED+ screen, Tegra 3, skinnier than 7.7 but Wifi only and i really enjoy the battery life and built in LTE from the tablet w/ my 7.7.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] evil_penguin:
be aware !

nexus tablet might lack 3g,LTE, rear camera to make it a affordable device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] versd:
to hit the price point, those things are well worth the sacrifice.

unless your tablet is your sole device, most people will have a phone which can do all those other things. the tablet was meant to be a secondary device you can use which is inbetween completely portable (phone) and non-portable (desktop).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Fluxcore:
Humm, no 3g that sux. I use 3g for data.

WiFi at home 3g when I am not, thats a deal braker for me.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lfeuln:
I don't have the 7.7 but having played with it in store, I can't imagine Google matching it in quality for the price point they want. That'd be a pretty incredible feat.

Given that I think it'd be a hasty mistake to sell. It sucks for ICS to still not be there but it'll come - and chances are good you'll have a better tab than Google's then.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] billytkid:
Got £340 in the end for the tab and have just spent £200 on the g7,sold just in time me thinks.

Feels like I got there just in time.

If 7.7 had Samsung support I wouldn't have swapped
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
The Nexus tab is a competitor to the Kindle and Nook, i dont know why you would downgrade, give it a few weeks and ICS will be available.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
Yep though Tegra3 is superior CPU, I think once ICS drops, aside from Tegrazone games we won't notice any real life difference. The CPU @ 1.4 in our 7.7 is more than fast enough. Heck even my 1Ghz Tegra2 sony tablet s flies with ICS

The killer battery life and 3G is whats making me keep this instead of flogging and buying a Nexus 7 (at a profit too lol)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] giotecno:
I agree with more or less all the comments on here, the built quality of the 7.7, weight, and that screen :) is amazing, but we have been waiting far too long for ICS and Jelly bean is around the corner. We have the advantage of a SD slot 3g etc but the hardware specs of the Nexus 7 is just better in terms of CPU GPU etc under the hood. In my opinion if you just use your tablet for casual use, browsing and consuming digital content then the Nexus 7 makes sense. for cheaper and better experience. But if you have loads of apps, content and you use your tablet as a travel companion and main device to create and produce things then the 7.7 is still a great device. I am in 2 minds right now, might sell up with all my accesories and get 2 nexus 7's one for the wife and one for me. Just not sure :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Just wait for ICS, with hopefull improvements it will blow the nexus tan out the water even if it has "better software"
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Yeah, now that the specs for the Nexus 7 are out, why the hell would you want to switch from the 7.7? I mean, sure, you get the latest version of Android. But, don't be a dip**** about all that. The screen, expandable storage, ability to pop in any GSM SIM, and the rear camera make the 7.7 a much better device, even though the CPU is only a dual core.

Besides, the Nexus 7 is a big push by Google to get people hooked deeper into the Play ecosystem. Meh.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
You got it my friend. The p6800 competes solidly with production level devices, despite having a smaller screen. sAMOLED+ displays increase the contrast ratio by 15% and expand color gamut by 30% over any other device in history. This means it incorporates the ENTIRE cmyk print gamut, and its black rivals any pure black available to oil or acryllic paint.--in other words, its brighter than your desktop monitor and darker than the printed in a book.

HDRi anyone???
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sg10:
just check nexus tablet spec..

no microsd, no gsm card, no 32gb version :crying:

google should also make premium tablet
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Zenin:
so tempted to sell and get the nexus

one things for sure everything rests on samsung's shoulders they need to release ICS or JB soon!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] barakoas:
totaly agree..!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TeeeJaay:
I use my Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my main driver. The Nexus 7 cpu/gpu is a little bit tempting but the usability of the GTab7.7 still outweighs it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bleclair:
Like my 7.7, but was a little discouraged by thinking we haven't even got ICS and now we are already waiting for Jelly Bean which we may or may not ever get.

So I put my Verizon Tab 7.7 on eBay... Like new, with original box and accessories. Auction ended at $340!!!!! That's it. Thankfully I put a reserve of $425 so it didn't sell. They were going for about $500 a couple weeks ago. I'm guessing the Nexus 7 gutted the market.

Some things I would miss if I got rid of my 7.7 (MHL, cameras, AMOLED screen, SD card slot) but Tegra quad w/ vanilla Android that gets the latest updates is very tempting.

Have one on preorder because I thought my Tab 7.7 would sell, but I guess I'll have to decide what I want to do.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
I thought the hardware of our 7.7 tab was superior to anything out there, especially agaisnt ASUS. I dont understand why everybody is now drooling for the Tegra. I would not donwgrade my 7.7 for the Nexus 7, all it is is a glorified Kindle. I believe once we get ICS it will still be a superior tab. Just my opinion.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bleclair:
Well, if Samsung was better with updates (although I can't slam them too much, not many companies are) I would feel better about sticking with the 7.7. Also, while I'm not a Touchwiz hater I don't need it and would appreciate the performance gains without it (if any.)

As it stands, I'll probably get the Nexus 7, spend the $25 credit and have a face off between the two tablets... Hopefully my 7.7 will have ICS by then.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] NikonUser:
That's exactly my plan as well.

The only thing on my list of detractors for the Nexus is the lack of storage (both internal and external)..... But I might just pick up a Seagate Satellite wifi hard drive for the times when I need heaps of stuff loaded (rare).

If Samsung were more timely with updates then I wouldn't even be questioning the switch, but vanilla Android with timely updates is just too good to pass up for me.

I might end up keeping both... :)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lehongwang:
I used ipad, tab 10, tab 8.9

but most love is 7.7

just hate honeycomb, hope 7.7 will get ICS soon:D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bathanr:
Having owned motorola xoom, and the asus transformer prime, I find myself using this verizon 7.7 all the time. I found myself putting my prime on craigslist because I love the feel and mobility of the 7.7. I despise honeycomb and it doesn't seem to be any development for the verizon version which sucks too, but having unlocked my xoom and prime, I was not all that impressed with some of the roms. I tried adw launcher on my 7.7 and it was still a little sluggish, but the go launcher seems to run great on it. Honeycomb still does not allow certain apps to be installed or show up on the market place. I wanted to try apex and nova, but it says they are not compatible. I also love the 4glte option, even though most times I use my evo 4g lte as a tethering device. The only thing that is appealing to me about the new nexus tablet is the OS being jelly bean which has some great new features.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lucid:
ICS is out for tab 7/7 3G/

Got it running, smooth as babyskin. Awesome.

So keep your tab where it is.Dont sell it, upgrade it now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bleclair:
Wonder how long before the Verizon 7.7 gets some love...

I hope it's soon!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ray3andrei:
So I've sent my prime to Asus because the camera didn't work, and it took them 6 weeks to figure they couldn't repair it so , I'll get a new one but what they didn't mention was that theyll give me a tf300, and they wont give me my money back, and won't give me a prime because its not being build anymore, and they wold give me an infinity because the release date isn't fixed, really ****ing cute

Sent from my Samsung GNexus <3
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
Wow really? i dont see how offering a lower line device will make you happier? I would request a check to pay the difference in initial cost of the devices. and throw in a free dock for the headache!

I would not be happy at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordanmw:
Is this for real? Are they really not making the prime anymore?!?!? Thought this was debunked a while back. Really hope this is not true.. may have to use square trade to get my money back when the 700 comes out so I can get that as a replacement with the cash.

ASUS-- Where are you to debunk this myth????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
its debunked...its like clock work. Every 2 weeks someone says prime discontinued. this has been going on for last 6 months..LOL

It is reaching the last half of its life cycle though. prime being discontinued wont stop it from working, wont stop updates/support from asus, & won't stop xda developement. so it really doesn't matter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
Where on earth do you live? Somewhere without any consumer protection rights? The moon perhaps??? If this is true then the first thing I would do would be to contact the Better Business Bureau (or equivalent). Maybe call an attorney lol!

If they are not making it anymore why is it in stock at Target, Walmart, Amazon etc. etc.??

EDIT: I forgot to say - how long do we think the lifespan of this thread will be? Hopefully it will be put out of its misery in an hour or two :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
Sadly OP might be correct. Prime has been out of stock in my country for more than 2 months. I can't even find a dock on sale, much less the tablet itself. Asus might be phasing out the production of the Prime and diverting them only to a few countries.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Amazon has new stock, I got one, it's a c4o model and there are c5o out.

Received mine today, the hole was pre-cut! Maybe they changed it in the new batches.

Yeah, iirc someone here said they emailed them and they got back to him and said it was a design error or something like that. No idea how they could forget about the main microphone hole for a mobile case though.......... :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmj12345:
Searched for an answer for this but didn't find anything conclusive.... long story short my volume rocker buttons no longer work correctly. I'm trying to re-lock and flash back to stock to bring it in for warranty but having huge issues with fastboot drivers (whole other issue).

In the meantime, is there any way to disable the volume up and down buttons completely while in Android? My buttons randomly think that they are being pressed, which constantly screws with the volume and keeps the phone awake.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crispy77:
Hi All

Just received the phone and all in all very impressed bar for one very annoying bug. When calling an automated line requiring keypad responses, as soon as i remove my the phone from my face and attempt to invoke/press the keypad it dissapears. This happens repeatedly until i hold the phone at arms length so presumably the problem is the proximity sensor that kills the screen when the phone is up against your head.

Anyone else witnessed this?
