Qcell is the real deal. They're designed in Canada, sourced between Japan and China, and manufactured in China. They're heads and shoulders in quality above the Chinese firms that toss together junky cells that stop working at full capacity after a few weeks.

I have a Qcell battery for my Samsung Epic Touch 4G and it's amazingly well made, keeps a charge for a long time in storage, and still behaves like it's a 4200mAH battery after months.

Hoppingfully yours,

Ok, I usually stay away from 3rd party aftermarket batteries and will spend the extra cash for an OEM battery but based on what I read in this thread and other reviews I took the plunge and ordered the 2 battery/charger deal.

So if all of you would kindly PM me your home address because if they suck I'm coming after each and every one of you that said it was good or "Just as good as the stock battery"! :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] graffixnyc:
Got mine today, I was kinda shocked because I just got notification they shipped yesterday. I guess where they shipped from wasnt that far from NYC. I was expecting it to be here on monday, def not today. Charging one up now
[Galaxy S III Accessories] phistyle:
ordered mines today...hopefully the battery works good
[Galaxy S III Accessories] graffixnyc:
you ordered "mines" today? Are mines even legal to ship? :P Sorry it's a pet peeve of mine. I'm not an English major by any means and I make my fair share of mistakes. But when someone says "mines" to me it's like nails on a chalkboard. lol When My daughter wants to annoy me she will say "mines" instead of mine. lol

I dont know why, but it always drove me nuts.. that and when someone says "I axed him a question" :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] leonheartx:
Anyone know where I can find the qcell battery+charger for sale?

Amazon.com not shipping this item to Canada, and I dont see these listed on ebay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] graffixnyc:
So far on the first charge not too bad. I'm at 51% with 12 hours 10 min and 2 hours 10 min screen on time.

At first I thought I got a bum battery, I put it in my phone and it wouldn't turn on, then plugged the charger in and not didn't recognize it, so I swapped for the other battery and same deal, then swapped again and the first started working, then tested the 2nd again then that started working.. Strange
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tarpon6:
Batteries Not As Good as Stock

These batteries do not last as long as stock. I bought two without the charger (already had an external charger). My external charger does charge the battery to 100%. The batteries seem to discharge more quickly under load, and discharge more than stock with the screen off. I don't have scientific measurements but have used these batteries for about two weeks now. I'd say they are maybe 75% of stock (I have 2 stock batteries). NFC works great.
[General Questions and Answers] ETW11:
I tried searching the web, but didn't find a definitive answer. I'm pretty sure I'll find one here. I currently own an HTC Thunderbolt and I am considering getting a newer phone that also has an SD card. Is it possible to transfer apps AND app data from the Thunderbolt to the newer phone using Titanium Backup? If Titanium Backup doesn't do the trick, is there an alternative method that will? I appreciate any and all replies.

Hello,

Not been on here in a while, i think my signature is out of date :D

Here's the deal, my mate has a HTC Sensation on a 24 month contract (i think) with 3 in the UK.

He updated to ICS not long ago and he hates it, like really hates it.

He wants to downgrade to Gingerbread, which is the rom it had on it when he got it new.

He is worried about 3 finding out that he has been messing with his phone.

Now two things:

Where would i find the stock 3 UK Gingerbread rom for the Sensation?

And will 3 find out?

Thanks guys and i hope you reply.

Howdy all,

Is there a way to save what i see on my sensations screen when i change or update the rom? i like to change roms periodically and it would be nice to easily save what I see to a new rom. on the pc i mean the "desktop" but what is it called on android?

thank you in advance!
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
You can take a 'screenshot' of whatever is on you screen.

Press 'vol down'+'pwr' together, for some 2 seconds and a "screenshot animation" should appear.
[HTC Sensation] mchstream:
Thank you, but what I am looking for is a quick way to restore all the items (widgets, icon) when i install a new rom without having to set it up manually.

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Oh, I'm not familiar with such a thing.. sorry...
[HTC Sensation] mankiboss:
Just use DeskMigrate and/or titanium backup.

Download the apps from play store. Using titanium backup you can backup the current launcher (backup the data too). After flashing another rom install titanium backup again and restore the launcher. If you want all od the icons on another launcher just use deskmigrate app
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes titanium backup works good for this
[HTC Sensation] mchstream:
Thank you for the replies. Thank you
[HTC Sensation] mankiboss:
You're welcome :)
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Remember though, if your ROM changes base, or you're switching ROM's, restoring data from titanium can have unpredictable results. Most likely launcher fc's or random reboots.

Periodic ROM updates (ie, goin from ARHD 6.x.x to 6.x.y) should be no issue.

I'm attempting to create my first app (specifically, a GOSMS skin).

For the first three attempts or so, everything was honky-dory. I was compiling my .apk with no issues each time.

Now, however, every time I attempt to compile a .apk with Apk Changer, I receive the following error(s):

Odd thing it, I can navigate to \apk\other\app and MyApk.conf does exist. The others (.bak, .reg, .orig) do not exist in \out\MyApk,

I get this every single time - I can decompile any random .apk and immediately re-compile it without making any changes and still receive this error. To my knowledge, I made no changes to my Apk Changer settings. I even attempted to delete and extract a fresh copy of Apk Changer - no dice.

I'm sure I'm missing something blatantly obvious, but can't figure it out for the life of me.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
ive been reading all the root threads for at least the 10th time just to get a handle on the setup. havnt noticed if anyone said you can do it on a mac though. i d/led all the needed files and tried extracting the boot img file. wouldnt give me an extract option on my right click so i kinda stopped there. also very unfamiliar with the adb stuff so if anyone could help with that, i would be more than appreciative.

also, this isnt my first rooted device. ive had my dx rooted for some time now but wow was that was so much easier as far as i can tell. even rooted my thrive too and it seemed a lil more complicated like this but that was around xmas time so i dont remember a thing. thanx in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] __ppk:
I've heard that there's a mobile version of Odin (Mobile Odin, IIRC) that works on the GSIII- can't rememeber if it worked on the VZW version though. I've typically avoided Samsung phones myself because I run only Linux and Samsung always relies on Windows-only programs like Odin and Kies (sp?) which doesn't do me any good. If you've only got Mac's then you're in the same boat too.

I'm on VZW myself and am holding my breath that the Developer version of the phone won't require the darn Windows programs to hack around on.

Bumping this because I'd really love to root my s3 from my Mac . Anyone root from osx?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kthung:
I used my mac to root but technically I kinda cheated. I used Boot Camp to run ODIN to root the phone, but I couldn't get the Android SDK to detect Java so I ended up using Terminal in OS X for adb to push a recovery. If you don't have windows, you can try and download a trial of Parallels 7 for 30 days. They let you use the consumer preview version of Windows 8 for free as well. I haven't tested ODIN on Windows 8 but maybe it will work.

For those unfamiliar with Android SDK and adb in OS X using terminal, basically you download and extract the platform-tools to a location. So for example I used my home folder "/Users/kthung/platform-tools" open up terminal and cd to that location and then you should be able to use any adb commands as usual BUT you need to add a "./" in front of every adb command. So for example "adb shell" becomes "./adb shell"

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Yes, you need to open the app and enter your pin.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Afaik it should detect the paypass terminal and open the app for you, but you'll have to pull the phone away and enter your pin, then tap it again.

So it makes more sense to open it before the transaction starts.

Also it takes a second. Place the phone on the terminal and don't pull it away until the app confirms the purchase.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alkah0liK:
In 32 minutes, your screen has been on 30 minutes of that time, hence the high percentage... Nothing looks odd about that. If you think it is killing your battery, you should probably look elsewhere like not going to deep sleep, or constant syncing. Need to see better battery stats or cpu spy... If that is the concern.

Don't mean to thread crap or ruin your deal. But buy a black one, you will be much happier. I have a white I/O model and the smallest amount of contact and the thing stains SUPER easily and is impossible to clean.

I tried soap, bleach, magic eraser, alcohol, and a few other options and nothing works. The only thing that removed my stain was nail polish but it also completely removed the "soft touch suede" feeling and made it much more plasticky.

You are not completely out of luck. You can still unlock your bootloader via htcdev, and root.

1. Enable Google Drive under settings.

2. Go to Google Drive settings immediately underneath this option. Specify where you want the backups to go and what you want backed up to Drive.

3. Once everything is set up, go to Schedules and run the sync to Google Drive.

You can set up your automatic backup schedules to automatically sync to Drive using the 'When finished:' field.
