So i just received my 3500mA battery case so here's my initial impressions and some photos of the case. (Photos courtesy of my 2011 model Galaxy Tab 10.1)

It makes the photo fatter of course so it feels bigger in the hand and slightly heavier although ill find out if its uncomfortably heavier tomorrow, my day tomorrow should be a real good test because ill be doing alot of navigation and phone usage. The stylus that comes with the phone seems like your normal 5 dollar best buy sourced stylus and after alil playing around doesn't have any problem making the phone do what you want, don't know how writing is. Microphones seem to not be hindered, the main mic on the bottom of the phone has a tunnel type thing to direct sound to the mic on the phone. The side buttons, power and volume, could be a bit of a problem because the sides of the case come up very close to the bottom of the buttons but not covered by the case.

The phone goes into the case by sliding the top of the case up inserting phone sliding phone to the top then slide case down, there is a power button on the back to turn on the battery and a colored light to designate state of case battery charge: green: >80% blue: equal or <30%-80% red: equal or <30. The picture in the very small instruction fold out says charge with phone out of case, with a 4 hour charge time, no charger included, luckily I have my old SGS1 charger.

Any other questions please don't hesitate to ask...this post will be updated with my review after I've had time to use it.

If this helps you, tap the thanks button a bit.

Now for the photos.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
Please keep us informed on your thoughts on it as well battery life and if it can charge while on...the case i got on ebay doesnt charge unless idle. Also the battery is not 3500mAh like advertised. So please let me know!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
Just tested, The case will charge my phone as the case is being charged at the same time. ( the case is showing charging with the indicator lights on the back and the phone showing charging on the screen)

How did you test the external battery power?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
just used it normally...saw power dropping with screen on and very very slow charge screen off...never got a full charge out of the external battery...even with use you'd think a 3500mAh would charge the battery to full before being dead...and that was with moderate use.

So having an AC charger plugged into the battery pack and the pack into the phone charges your phone? I can definitely say using the stock Note charger this does not happen with the case I bought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
The lights would indicated so. I'll do some testing to morrow when the external case isn't near 100%

The manual that came with my case says it charges at a rate of 500mah. What I've seen so far i'm maintaining same percent I started with while placing some games that used to eat my battery quickly .( TDKR )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
If that's the case then good...in particular on mine when using a GPS mapping app in the car while plugged in to car power and into case, I was losing internal battery and normal operation without external battery keeps the charge steady with screen on GPS running.

If you can play some processor heavy games and maintain that's good enough for me.

Hows the cable going from external to phone...that was one of the things I was iffy on getting that case. Seems sturdy? How bout when plugged into phone in pocket?

I'm sending my 3500mAh case back, not happy with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
Im 100% sure that case will charge the phone while charging itself. The cable plugin is surprising snug and hard to remove from phone when plugged in. The cable seems decent like it won't tear off when moving plug. It pretty well shielded by the plug itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
That's exactly what I was curious about...that's pretty surprising. If you get the chance to charge both overnight plug the battery into the phone and wall power to the external, see what happens and report back.

Thanks

I'm impressed with this case overall.

All day battery life on my note with

100% Screen brightness

(Made thru 4 hour road trip with GPS and Pandora.)

Got home with 68% battery life.

I've tried another extended batteries solutions and this by far the most bang for buck as far as extended batteries go.

Negatives:

Plug at the bottom look not for everyone.

Plastic kick stand.

Turning the case off can be a bit of a pain(have to hold power for exactly 5 seconds no more no less)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
Well thats some pretty damn good results...so drained the external and got down to 68% on the internal on that trip correct? I ordered this so we shall see how I like it. What about charging by plugging external into phone then external to wall...works no problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
Yep that works as well.

I prefer charging them separately to save on charge cycles for the external.

But it can be done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
Yep 68% left on internal. I find it best to plug in external once I dropped below 80%. Then I'm floating in the high 90's

All day

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i initially like the idea at first, but checked, all the cases charge at half a amp

which means if you use the phone at the same time, the battery percentage can still drop

if it had a full 1amp charge, this thing would be great (could use phone and the battery level still increase)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
Yea that's the one thing I don't like about the externals.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
Sold! Thanks folks.

It was truly a great external battery case. I'd still recommend it to people looking for a extended without looking like there phone has a tumor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/3200mAh-Stan...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item416a7b1161

This one says 750mA charge rate which is not too shabby. Or is it lying about it? I'm thinking of picking this one up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
That's a bunch of bull ****..... its 500mah - don't be naive
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
That's fine and all (and frankly likely to be true that's only 500mA) but do you have a source for the claim? Even anecdotal will be fine for that particular model.

As a sidenote, I've done some testing on various chargers and it looks like our Notes can't charge faster than 1A (at least on a stock ROM, haven't tested one of the fast-charge kernels).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
I've owned this model its 500mA. Will only charge in deep sleep even then its very slow and wouldn't fully charge phone battery. Bought mine from a place in NJ, got a refund. Don't do it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Outright lies in the description huh? If it can't full charge, it sounds like it's not even 500mA =(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
Idk it was a great case aside from some sharp edges but the snail slow charging and not being 3200mah (atleast the one I got, someone else had real good luck with this case). I hope moving forward newer iterations have proper specs cases from reputable manufacturers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Would be nice if Anker rolled one out. Their regular batteries are exactly what it says on the tin. They claim modest and deliver it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
No note no matter what kernel will take more than 1amp

Again if u don't get that 1 amp phone will drain while charging(if using the phone)

AOKP with ability to install and use Samsung apps.

... It would take a lot of work but I would throw $50 toward a dev who could pull it off

Oh yeah, and tablet mode. :-)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Reviewers:
AOKP or AOSP is needed for tablet mode and Samsung apps uses Samsung framework.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] itsjusttim:
Yes I know, I am currently using AOKP in tablet mode on my note.

I believe that Samsung apps could eventually be used if someone was able to fork the framework somehow. Im not saying its an easy thing but it sure its possible.

I believe Protekk from AOKP is getting the S3 on T-Mobile. I follow him on twitter and know he was tweeting up tmo for the launch fail and was selling lots of devices prior to the launch. Sounded like he was waiting to get one on or around the 27th.

I know this question is really just a time waster but when you're a cube monkey like myself you have to do something to pass the time.

I've been using Android phones for a few years now going back to my G2 Magic. And have been around XDA since my old HTC Dash on Windows mobile.

The question I've been wondering about is how do developers work? I can understand the individual developer working out of his home or office but how do development teams work? Take a big team like Cyanogen for instance. Is there an office somewhere? Does everyone meet at someones house lol? Is it all done through a server, an irc site, is there any sort of payroll? Have any of these guys met face to face? I'm a design engineer for a medical company and we use a lot of video web meetings. Do they interact that way. Do these guys or gals have day jobs?

BTW if this is the wrong section you won't hurt my feelings by moving it. I'm just curious while waiting for 4:20 so I can escape my daily hell.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenneka:
Hi there.

I just upgraded my SGSII with UHLPE firmware, since the device came with Gingerbread 2.3.6, and root it with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.

Everything went smoothly and the firmware was flashed without any problems, so do the rooting. After i restored my apps with Titanium Backup, i tried to install Apex launcher from Google Play Store, and there's where i found out that my Play store app doesn't recognize the ICS installed on my device.

I started to search for apps that only work on ICS, and no luck, although the original Web Page DOES tell me that my SGSII is compatible with the apps.

Titanium backup told me that the Phone ID had changed, after the apps backed up were restored, so i decided to restore the Phone ID, but no luck, Play store still doesn't show me the apps for ICS.

Does some one know what the heck happened here :confused:

How can i , in some way, tell the Play store app that what is running on my SGSII is ICS 4.0.3 ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Have you already wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache in recovery?

If that does not help, try to clear app data via Settings > Applications > All > Play store > Clear data.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenneka:
Still not working...

Hi there...

Just did what you mentioned before, but no luck.

Tried wiping dalvik and partition cache, also , deleting the data on the Play store app, i even uninstall the updates.

But still no luck, no tringle away, no apex launcher, nothing ICS related :crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenneka:
Problem solved!

Just to let other people know what happend and how to solve this..

I figure out that what mess with my phone was, that when i run the "restore all my apps" from Titanium Backup, i didn't notice i also run the "system data" restore.

So what happend was, that my 4.0.3 on the inside had parts of 2.3.6, since i restored info from my Gingerbread backup.

That was the cause that Play store didn't recognize me as ICS.

So in the end, wha i did was:

1.- Reboot in recovery mode

2.- Factory reset

3.- Wipe cache partition

4.- Wipe Dalvik cache

5.- Wipe battery stats

With this, i rebooted my device and had my IceCreamSandwich back up, with all well, Play store now knows that what i'm running is 4.0.3, and all the benefits of that.

Finally i ran again the batch option of "Restore user apps + data" from Titanium Backup, WITHOUT the system data option.

Case closed hahahahaha!!!:good:

Hello. This question might have been answered already in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

But there're about 320 pages over there & I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out here... here's my phone setup

Which ROM do I use to flash to my Galaxy Note? And would I need to do anything differently from the method given in the guide?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
Your post is wayy too vague. What ROM are you currently on? Completely stock Gingerbread? Rooted?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanold:
My apologies. My GNote(international version) is on official Samsung ICS & I just want to root it for the time being till a solid custom ICS based ROM is developed. To clarify I'd like to know which of the stock ICS ROMs in the list(in the thread mentioned in my first post) should I use to flash my Note with. I'm not a dev so if there's a risk in rooting the official Samsung ICS ROM then I'll wait till it's safer. What would you suggest sir?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
I got my note yesterday and was overwhelmed with all the threads I ended up flashing ics in Odin and used speedmod kernel. Now all is good and using cleanote ROM.

Swyped from my GT-N7000 using XDA
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
I'd go back to Gingerbread to root it. Then, I'd flash a GOOD ICS rom (something CM9 based). But that is my opinion, I just don't like stock TouchWiz.

You can Odin one of those stock Gingerbread ROMs from DrKetan's thread in Android Development. I live in the U.S. so naturally I didn't have a country rom so I just used Open Germany. It doesn't really matter.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
To root it use this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647148. I already tried in lq2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanold:
Righto. Just a few questions... I went through the entire thread and found folks were having some issues. So:

1. Are you getting permanent full root via this method & SuperSU? Or is it temporary?

2. Any Wi-Fi/ overheating/ slowdown issues after rooting?

3. Do you need to rename CWM.zip to update.zip or do you leave it as is?

4. Lastly, if needed, can custom ROMs be flashed safely, and if so, generally which ones?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
1. Permanent

2. No, the same.

3. Leave it as is. Go to stock recovery. Click update zip then choose CMW zip in external sd

where you should put the downloads. After that the recovery will change to touch CMW(use your finger to navigate), it is only temporary, then click INSTALL ZIP and find the rooting zip file you download. Finish you are rooted.

4. After rooting I use mobileodin to flash an ics. But you can flash any ics you want and flash ics kernel speedmod k3-3 to automatically get CMW or flash cf root to get CMW. About custom rom, this i recommend. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1716088. You must have speedmod k3-3 before flashing it, very important.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
If you want another custom rom read carefully their procedure. Different custom rom different procedure, there are not the same. Be carefull, for example if you want to flash paranoid rom you must be in gingerbread rom before flashing it, if not, you will BRICK your phone. The cm9 is the same, you must be in gingerbread. Just read and again and again untill you know what you are doing, if not sure, read the threads, learn from their mistakes, ask question there, they will help you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanold:
Success! I did it but only CWM.zip got installed from the ext SD card. I had to install SuperSU from the internal SD card. Now I'm gonna use MobileOdin to flash speedmod k3-3.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HiM@L:
its been a while since i last used Amaze. i had installed Energy ROM (gb) and exchanged Amaze for Galaxy S2. he tried factory resetting it and said he is stuck in boot screen. I will be getting that phone in few hours and i want to revert that back to Stock rom with ICS. How do i revert back ????

simple guidelines would be perfect.

Thank You.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Info is needed to work with, bootloader version, s-on or s-off, what did he do to get stuck on the boot screen?
[HTC Amaze 4G] HiM@L:
he tried factory resetting the phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Factory resetting doesn't cause a phone to bootloop or get softbricked, just saying.

Anyways, if you have a custom recovery installed, you could just simply wipe the device and reinstall whatever rom it was.

To go back to complete stock, look for the most recent GB stock ruu file in the dev forum, download it and place it on your sd card. Rename that file PH85IMG, reboot into bootloader, follow all on screen instructions to restore to stock. If the device is s-on, you will need to lock the bootloader before placing that PH85IMG on the sd card.

Or you can look for the most recent ICS leaked ruu zip file to go straight to ICS instead of GB, instructions to use this file remains the same as GB.

So I've never flashed this device before, and I got it today but I'd like a custom ROM flashed to it.

I would stay away from Cyanogen and its variations right now if you want everything to work. CM7 has issues with wifi (and other stuff) and CM9 has no HW Acceleration -kernel issues.

Pretty much any rom based on stock is a safe bet.

Thanks, but still, how do I get CWM recovery? I couldn't see much in the above thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Check in the custom kernel section and download the kernel according to your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rjwil1086:
Look in the thread cvcduty posted in the custom kernel section. The kernels have CWM packaged with them. You'll need Odin to flash them. If you search the forums you'll probably find a link for Odin... or google it :)

Make sure you use the rigth kernel for your specific device. The 5" and 4" are different and there are two versions of the 5". Not sure if there is more than one version of the 4" or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] abtekk:
Thanks mate, that's what I wasn't sure about. If I happen to flash the wrong kernel I can overwrite it with the correct one as usual, correct? and it's Odin3 v1.3 I need, isn't it?
