Well I was looking for spare batteries and came across these. I ordered a pair and will get them sometime this week. I decided to share the link if anyone is looking for spare battery with a charging station for the battery. For me this should be fine since I can usually get through the day with a full charge and on certain occasions a small charge when I play some games and having a spare would be great. At this good price

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=150847911009&index=0&nav=WATCHING&nid=47731270809

Edit: the batteries don't seem to be OEM and overheat my phone. Im not sure of any long term effect this may on our phones, but I personally won't take this risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
Can that really be OEM at that price? Let us know when you get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unlvmike:
Yeah I was a bit skeptical at first, but worst case scenario its only $13. I'll update when they arrive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GateCityRadio:
it's probably a china battery. I have the same brand charger for my G2 and I keep my oem battery in it just incase. That battery probably won't have nfc, but it should serve well as a back up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
You need to check if the battery is fake. I got 2 with the charger from ebay for 18.99. First sign that it was fake was the NFC didn't work even though the sticker says Near Field Communication on it. You can also check the voltage with AndroSensor from the play store. The real battery puts out 3.716 volts where as the fake one puts out 3.8 somethng. Im not sure if it is even safe to use . I was looking for info on it when I found this post.I found that in china they sell the blank batteries that are identical shape and size to the real batteries and will even put the stickers on for you... Im pretty sure yours is fake too from the price. Samsung sells these batteries for $30+

Edit- if it does turn out to be fake you should change the name of the post to fake OEM batteries. My seller was Feng4258 located in china and he had a pretty good rating like 98%. The 2% were accusing him of selling fake or defective batteries. I wish I would have checked that before I bought. I'm requesting a refund now and if he doesn't comply I'm going to be opening a case with PayPal and ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unlvmike:
Thanks for the input, well if NFC doesn't work then that's not a huge loss for me as it is still pretty useful for me at least. I'll be sure to check the voltage and how good it performs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unlvmike:
Update: yeah turns out that you were right. The batteries do hold a voltage well over 3.7. I just contacted the seller about this issue and hope to get a refund or will have to contact eBay. Thanks again for your input.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0micron:
Is there a condition that the battery has to be in in order to measure the voltage? My understanding is that the battery voltage is not a constant property of the battery but changes depending on it's state of charge (ie fully charged, half charged, completely drained, etc). If that is the case I don't think you can "spot" a fake battery by voltage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJJohnson:
Is it useful?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unlvmike:
Yeah I'm going to have to keep doing some more research when I get home because I noticed that my original battery on occasions rises well above the 3.7V. The batteries do work though. Hold a fairly same charge that I've noticed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toad858:
With my stock battery, andro sensor says im running at 3.86 volts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
Yes you are correct at the time my original battery what showing 3.7 and the fake was showing 3.8 but from what I've read its just a matter of charge level. The batteries work fine and in my experience are safe to use. With that said they are not OEM and really the only way to tell is to check the NFC. Also if they come in anything other than a Samsung case then they are probably fake. I told my seller I was going to open a close with eBay and PayPal to gt my money back and he sent a message back the next day saying "Very sorry, seller very misleading. Money back in account, check please!" I tried calling Samsung before just to make sure but they can't tell a fake from the s/n. If the NFC feature isn't present its a fake. Contact your seller immediately and demand a refund. Enjoy your free fake batteries. The charge holds alright but it does suck their isn't any NFC especially since Google wallet has started to support all major credit cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Is this with the battery fully charged or half way? All lithium batteries fully charge around 4.2v, for phones I assume they will fully charge around 4.1v or so.

3.7v is just the voltage that is recommended for long term storing of the battery to prevent wear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unlvmike:
Yeah I personally would not recommend these batteries. They have started to overheat my phone and the voltage never gets below 3.86. I don't really use NFC so I can't really say if that works or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toad858:
Yea i been noticing that the higher the battery level the higher the voltage, and it goes down as the battery level goes down. So im not so sure about the voltage being an indicator. NFC is the only way to tell. I just bought a battery from a seller in south korea and its real, nfc works and all. The label and writing looks abit different though, im assuming its because its a korean made battery not made in korea and finished in china
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crzytxn:
As a relative newbie, I have a question. I have flashed a Rodgers modem, onto my ATT note. In an attempt to improve the GPS function. The note is rooted, and running Flapjaxx's latest Rom UCLF6. Now I appear to be having voice issues. If I try to re-flash another modem, how do I go about removing the Rodgers modem? And which modem works the best?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Are you a Rogers subscriber?

No? Then UCLF6, the stock modem is best for at&t. Just get the zip file and put it in your sd card. Boot into recovery and flash it. The flash process will write over the top of the Rogers modem. Reboot, give the phone a few minutes to settle in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
if i understand once you flash another modem on top, it will do away with your last modem no need to remove old modem you had...which modem? That depends on the location.

edit: sorry ranger didn't see you posting, you slip in under my radar...LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I just tried something for you.

Just reflash the Flapjaxxx rom and it will overwrite your modem. You only need to wipe the cache when in recovery before you flash.

To fix your GPS issues Flapjaxxx includes a gps fix in his tools. See your settings menu:

Then go to this tab:

And att fix. Reboot. GTG

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rekesz:
A friend of mine suggested that I try Cyanogenmod, so I decided to flash my Galaxy Mini. The first problem was the bootloop, and no matter how many times I wiped the phone, it was always stuck at the Android text. So I decided to try the Honeycomb mod. Same happened. So I decided to flash it with Android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com. At last, it started working. However, Google Play still sees every application as "installed" (but of course they aren't), and when I try to delete from GP, nothing happens. After trying to install other applications, I realized that I cannot install anything from the market. Any idea how I could solve this problem? I would be very grateful.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lackhoo:
did you flash your costom rom trough clockworld mod recovery (CMW)???
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lightstar3103:
He can't flash it by an another way :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rekesz:
Yes I did. I used CWM 5.0.2.6. The funny part is that after being turned off 3 times, Google Play started working :D But if there's a solution to the bootloop problem I would love to hear it. I searched this forum and the internet and nothing, even though I followed a cyanogenmod wiki's guide.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
did you wipe two times before and after flashing cyanogenmod rom
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
How old is your sd card? because same happened to me. I needed to format my sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
Thanked accidentally.

Anyway, tour problem is the CWM you used, didnt u see the DONT USE sign in the version 5.0.2.6 thread? 5.0.2.8 would avoided those errors in flashing custom ROMs
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rekesz:
My SD card is as old as my phone, about 9 months old.

No, I didn't see the sign, and to be honest, I didn't even know that there was a 5.0.2.8 version. Do you think it would work with that?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lackhoo:

I'm sure it works. :) 5.0.2.6 had some issues as said in the thread, but 5.0.2.8 or 4.0.0.5 works fine. Try it (:

PM me anything :) GT-S5570
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rekesz:
So I downloaded the new recovery, flashed it via Odin, and now nothing works. When I enter recovery it says that it can't mount /cache/log and /cache/recovery (I think it says these two). I looked around and found that it could be stuck in a bootloop, but luckily Android loads. However, I can't root my phone due to several errors, so I can't install Cyanogen mod. I think I'll give up now :D But thanks for all the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
This happens because you are in stock ROM, this errors are normal.If you want ONLY to root your phone you should use stock recovery. Otherwise you can proceed.

PM me anything. :) GT-S5570
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rekesz:
Okay. So I flashed the stock ROM back so I can use the stock recovery. Phone rooted-->still getting the same error :/ Sorry for bothering you all so many times, but I just can't understand why this does not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
We are here to help you:)

What error? That one on CWM recovery

PM me anything. :) GT-S5570
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rekesz:
Thanks very much :) Here is what I did step by step:

I returned to the stock recovery by installing the stock firmware. I rooted the phone with stock recovery. Then I installed CWM recovery 5.2.0.8, but I still get the same error in CWM: it can't mount a few things. I still tried installing Cyanogen without wiping, and of course it's stuck at the boot screen with the Android text (I had a feeling that it wouldn't work if the recovery is not fully operational, so I did not want to lose every contact for nothing again). I read that this problem can be solved by formatting the SDCard, so I tried formatting it with PC and the phone also, but nothing. So now I'm back to the stock firmware and recovery with my phone rooted and no idea how to solve any of the problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
Flasging CyanogenMod without wipes? Seriously? Thats exactly why it never worked!! CWM cant mount somethings because you were in stock ROM :@

Use some backup program to backup contacts, apps, whatever and flash cyanogenmod wiping data and cache before and after.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pratyush369:
You Should get gapps for it or you should download .apk for any site........:good:

Thanks Button Ready For You.....:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rekesz:
This was just a trial run due to the new CWM recovery. If you read back, I already wrote that I tried wiping both data and cache before and after flashing Cyanogen mod. This "mounting" problem only came up with the new CWM recovery, 5.2.0.8.

The basic Google Apps were all there, since I used a rom from sammobile.com, downloaded programs like poweramp were the ones that did not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
And you tried wipes using 5.2.0.8 version? The mounting problem happened with me only in this recovery too, maybe because it is updated, different or whatever but I flashed and everything was good. Anyway, stay with stock, it seems better for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rekesz:
Yes, I guess I will stay with the stock :/ Though I'll try again when a new CWM recovery and a new Cyanogen mod come out.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
I don't think we'll have a new CM or CWM... but u can try oficial nightlies though

Hi! My camera doesnt work! Please help me! Everytime i press the icon it says camera is not available. I rooted(?) my phone four months ago and last week i cheched it and it didnt work.... do you thhink its because of the root? If i unroot it will the camera work again?(sorry for my english its not my first language):o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] leine0104:
A litte less information i think -.-

How did you root your phone !?

GB or ICS ?!

Installed custom kernel / custom rom ?

i guess you should install a new / updated kernel and an actual rom

OR

reflash an orginal firmware.

Same happened to me sometime back! The camera didn't open!

But it started working in a few days but since that day my front camera didn't open!
[HTC One S] adnana1024:
I'm about to unlock my bootloader so I can enjoy some custom ROMs, but I would like to verify that there is a way to restore everything to factory settings should I need to send the phone in for a repair/replacement. The only thing I've found so far is relocking the bootloader, but that doesn't restore factory conditions.

Thanks.

EDIT: Okay, so I found some stuff about RUU and CID numbers. But I have no idea what either of those are. Is there maybe a tutorial on this stuff, because it all just seems really confusing to me right now.
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
Yes you can lock the bootloader and run the RUU to get back to stock.

Note however your hboot will show "Relocked" instead of "Locked".

Lock bootloader via fastboot

fastboot oem lock

RUU,

Run the "ruu".exe and follow the on screen instructions.

Good post

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gnarlynick:
Back when the new update OTA was released I received a notification about the update to then download it. I did not download it OTA, I did however use LazyPanda to get S-Off and then flashed an Odexed rooted version of the new updated ROM.

All is fine and dandy except every time I reboot my phone and the home screen loads, I get a notification about an available update. There is no update, the only way to get rid of it is to check for an HTC Update and when it says no updates are available it clears the notification. I have to redo this process every time the phone is rebooted.

Is there some file I can alter or something that will stop this notification from showing after a reboot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gnarlynick:
The ROM I am using is in my signature, it's nothing special, just the rooted version of the latest stock ROM.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yahikoy:
So I was using my flyer in bed and fell asleep, I use a cover for it so I don't think it overheated. However, in the morning I noticed it was turn off and it wouldn't turn back on.

Things I've tried:

1. Holding power button 5, 10, 20, 50+ seconds. Flash red light at 10 seconds, nothing more.

2. Holding Vol- and Power button, 5, 10, 20, 50+ seconds, same thing.

3. Charge with HTC Flyer's wall charger overnight. (repeat step 1, 2, same thing)

4. Charge with Samsung Captivate charger overnight. (repeat step 1, 2, same thing)

5. Unplug battery 5 minutes, replug and repeated step 1, 2, 3, 4. same thing.

at one point in between my power light started flashing red/green after holding the power button for longer than 10 seconds. However it doesn't do that anymore.

I've also tried plugging it into the computer to see if adb would detect it, but nothing (Although I'm not sure if I set it up correctly).

The only sign of life is the single red flash when holding the power button. There is no sign of life from the screen. Is it time to give up?

edit: forgot to mention:

rom = Leedroid 4.3.0, been using for probably around 5 months with no problems nor had any signs of issues.

If there's any other information I'm missing please don't hesitate to ask, I'll answer as best as I can. I really hope it didn't just randomly die on me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yahikoy:
I've tried following http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20923118&postcount=11

However, of the 2 phones I've tried (an LG flip phone and a pantech flip phone) one tells me to use genuine LG battery and the other tells me to check the battery.

How likely is it that my battery actually died? I used a volt meter and the battery itself would give me 3.48v which I'm not sure if it would mean a faulty battery or just one that has no charge.

[Nexus S General] lowtje:
Guys, as I am truly annoyed by the fact stock JB is draining like hell, I would like to know the best rom available now. If any of you have good experience with a particular rom let me know :)
[Nexus S General] Imppy:
Try Adam's ROM I'm getting similar battery life as in ics
[Nexus S General] Aktifit:
It's most likely not a ROM issue. I tried Adams and CM10 and had similar battery life. Make sure you turn off google now (just the cards that need to know your location constantly). It might also be that your update didn't go that well, so you might try a factory reset. It could also be a misbehaving app, so when you do a factory reset, maybe test the ROM before restoring/reinstalling your apps. Also, the more information you give us the better we can help. Good luck!
[Nexus S General] lowtje:
Thanks for the info. I installed the stock factory image 4.0.4 and then waited for the official OTA. I updated and all works well, but I get around 15 hrs on a full charge with some Whatsapp and Facebook use. When I use it more intense with more screentime the battery drains the most. I think a factory reset wont give me more battery life then this, but I know my drain was not so big while I was on ICS.
[Nexus S General] lowtje:
By the way, which one is the most stable; CW10 (That chocolate river one??) or Jellybelly?
[Nexus S General] Aktifit:
Sounds weird. But also keep in mind that there are still some apps that don't cope very well with JB, and Facebook has never been Androids best friend :P. But it doesn't make sense that it's only during screen on, most people report issues related to google now and apps doing **** in the background. If you want to switch ROM anyways, I suggest you use Adams Jellybelly, it's mostly stock (less features means less that can go wrong) and it includes thalamus kernel, which is IMHO the best JB kernel at the moment. I do not recommend any CM10 based ROMs if you're after stability. I assume you checked your battery stats and didn't find anything?

Edit: Chocolate river was abandoned when official OTA came afaik, so definitely Jellybelly ;). Make sure you do a full wipe though, if something's wrong dirty flashing isn't worth it.
[Nexus S General] lowtje:
Sounds good to me. Downloading Jellybelly now. I checked my battery stats and didn't find anywhing weird. I dont have much apps installed so there is not much that could give issues. When I leave my screen off (at night or while working) the battery life is not that bad. It's weird, but JB is still very fresh and new, so I'll just try some other roms =)
[Nexus S General] Imppy:
Agreed jelly belly provides the best performance, stability, and battery life
[Nexus S General] lowtje:
Now running JellyBelly and its much faster then my stock JB :)
[Nexus S General] ironia.:
also for me battery life was improved in jb
[Nexus S General] nexususer1:
Wouldn't agree that jellybelly provides best performance and battery. I suggest trying out cm10 v1.2 :)
[Nexus S General] Apolyxon:
I am currently on JellyBelly and the battery life is definitely not better than stock for me. Battery drains like crazy when idling.

BUT, I do have Google Now activated. So really make sure to deactivate if you do not need it.
[Nexus S General] Neskoppi:
IMO all ROMs should give similar battery life.
[Nexus S General] Aktifit:
Even with Google now turned on the battery should last some time. Do You get the same time as with ICS when it's deactivated? If not, something's borked ;).
[Nexus S General] lowtje:
Even if the battery life isnthe same with Jellybelly, the performance is great!
[Nexus S General] ironia.:
