pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

plz :)

i wanted to do somthing like this. but was afraid of the defender since the silicone doent provide much protection with the battery exposed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wekurtz74:
Pics yes please.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sumredhed567:
Updated OP sorry bout the size of the pics. Also I know i kind of dorked up the actually cuts but with the rubber part on it you cant even tell. Enjoy =)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] WackyJoe:
Eh...

I have an Otterbox Defender and I heard about the Hyperion 4200+NFC and thought of the same idea but I didn't get the battery yet because I was thinking that the backside silicon would petrude.

If you look carefully at the backside pic after everything is said and done, it bulges about 2mm too much. I'm sure there is a gap now...something that I and most others (I would assume) would want to avoid.

I don't use NFC so maybe a slightly smaller battery, 3500 or so will be the 2mm less that it needs to be for this to be the ideal "hack" job. :p

(

I wonder if the 4000 would work? Does anyone have specs on the thickness for the 4000 and 4200?

BTW, a rotary cut tool would be best to cut, for those who are going to try this.)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mattsnap:
Do you have any pics of how you made it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WackyJoe:
???

His pics are posted already...

If you are asking me, I didn't do it yet because I had the thought that it would bulge the silicon on the back (as you can see in the pics)...but I'm trying to see if the 4000 is thinner by about 2mm, then it would be good. Hyperion would be the wiser choice as they are the better known brand...those other XYZ companies just make junky batteries IMO.

Anyone on the 4000 and 4200 thickness? (I've asked the only eBay seller that sells both, hopefully get a response soon)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mark930:
Do you think it would be a bad idea to put electrical tape around the battery and back case to further prevent dust from getting into the electronics? I work in a warehouse and dust partials can sneak through cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wekurtz74:
Does anyone know the thickness of the qcell xompared to the Hyperion? You never know,maybe one 4200is smaller:)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sumredhed567:
Yes the bulge and the gap kind of bothered me at first too but I don't work in an environment that has a lot of grit. (As you can see I actually work at a Verizon store). As far as how I made it I just took a dremel but unfortunately didn't have the right tool at the end but I made due. Overall I'm still satisfied with it. The extra bulk really isn't whole lot for me plus I love having the rugged case. This has really made me love an already good phone.

Swyped from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WackyJoe:
Heh...

OIC...yeah, the phone is so thin the Defender really isn't all that bulky as one would think. It's really the front bezel (to protect the screen) that kinda makes it look so much thicker. With the Defender, I can only think of a precise hit to the flat of the screen that would damage it...basically the tank of all cases!

Like I said, a couple of MM less and it would be perfect...someone had a double OEM battery hack job, just wished I knew the thickness specs on all these batteries... :eek:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cnlson:
I was wondering why it looked like the covers had been attacked by gnawing animals :D

my question would be, do you actually need to cut the phone back or would it be fine running bareback inside the otterbox?

I was amazed at how the defender is so slim even with all the protection. My wife loves hers and I may switch for the winter from my incipio dual to keep it better insulated from the cold.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] got556:
Want to do this as I've done it within other phones....just disappointed there is nothing in between stock 2100 battery and the plethora of 4000+ size batteries. Wonder how thick the seidio battery 3500 mah is
[Galaxy S III Accessories] erm1001:
With the hyperion 4200 battery, I am average about double the stock battery time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Treikens:
Does anyone know what he put on the back of the battery to close it up and make it look black instead of just an exposed back?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sumredhed567:
The outer rubber cover for the case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SneakySonBeach:
Problem

tried doing this on the flip cover case from samsung. and needless to say the otterbox wont close with that cover on even though i thinned it up. does anyone know if the flip cover (with the flip end cut off and taken completely out) will fit in this case at all?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dozol:
Anyone tried this mod with Otterbox Commuter?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Prowelder:
Works with the anker 4440mah battery also. As far as the gap, I also had one but to solve that problem I superglued the space to the plastic piece right under the camera cutouts. Hasn't budged since. Still a small bulge from the battery size but other than that... Nice and snug. Thanks for the idea!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] trvbone:
Works great with my gorilla gadgets 4500
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ted A:
My first attempt with Otterbox Defender Blaze. I included the before pictures compared to the extended battery cover with TPU case.

Double-sided tape was used to transfer the battery pattern to the OEM back cover before I dremmeled it off, then transferred the hole pattern to the Defender next.

I use shrink wrap plastic to create a dirt and moisture barrier.

The gap is there, but hardly noticeable. The Blaze's back pattern works great in hiding the minor bulge of the battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mcaanda:
+ to you Ted. By FAR the best pics I've seen yet dealing with this.

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] countryfolk07:
I have. It works well! Same size as stock phone with the Samsung extended battery. The factory 3000mah battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GunnerOnASpooky:
I have actually done this mod with the ZeroLemon 7000 mAh battery and defender. I also just did the Palm touchstone mod for wireless charging.... And everything works like a champ. 48+ hours of battery life, great protection, and just set it down on the touchstone to charge.

Just ZeroLemon with defender. Thanks. Been searching the Internet for a tutorial for it but couldn't come upon one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gatorrich:
Thanks for the information. I think this is the route I'm going to go.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] slydweis:
I did it with my ZeroLemon and defender. Works great.

Another couple things I did which are optional:

1. I separated the plastic screen protector from the front shell. Cleaned all the adhesive off. Applied a Zagg Original screen protector. Then applied the otter box screen that I took off earlier using the zag kit. Makes taking the shell off easier and there is no gap between the screen and protector anymore. There may be a few really tiny bubbles. But you can't see them when the screen is on.

2. I took a heat gun and warmed up the center if the outer rubber/silicon just a bit then pulled it over the case with battery installed. Then I just let it cool for a while. Stays on better in my opinion than when I was trying t straight out of the box.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hunter2k:
Oh the things we do for extra juice! Finding that having a spare battery in my wallet and a seperate battery charger at home works best for me!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gatorrich:
Has anyone tried an extended battery mod with a UAG case? I've never held one so I don't know if its similar to a case with an outer silicon skin or not.

I was given as a gift, have a WiFi only 7" Asian Android tablet purchased in Singapore.

I understand I can get a USB 3G modem with build in pre-paid SIM to get online for GSM network such as AT&T and T-Mobile.

Can you please tell me what kind of third party modem I should look for and what kind specification? What kind of Android modem drive should I look for?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] young707:
I understand Verizon users can get a similar USB 3G adapter for laptops to get online.

But those are CDMA modem, correct? So, these adapters has no build-in SIM card.

Where can I get more info on these? Thank you,
[General Questions and Answers] young707:
Also, can some one with AT&T or T-Mobile subscriber tell me, do you have USB modem adapters for your laptop?

I assume these are 3G digital modem using cellular network, correct? Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] thedrcarl:
Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing today and then here's your post.

There's other people asking the same question if you search the forums, but when I looked last there wasn't much work happening on that idea.

Personally I just tether my phone as a wifi hotspot. That way I don't have to pay for more than one overpriced 3G internet plan. I'm guessing most other users do this or make use of wifi hotspots around town, home, work etc. This probably negates the drive for development of such an app.

I imagine there's some custom code to be done to get it to work, and then for each individual usb modem. Probably not impossible, but not easy either. In Australia they're bringing out a newer version of their usb dongles probably every six months or so? It's hard to keep up.

I'll be interested to see if someone has got it going. :)
[General Questions and Answers] young707:
USB modem in Android

thedrcarl, I heard quite a bit about external 3G USB dongle.

This suppose to work with cellular network and when no wifi connection is possible.

In fact, I think there is such 3G USB dongle works in laptops. But what about Android Wifi only tablets?
[General Questions and Answers] Hstar:
I'm expecting it should, the dongles should work (Y)
[General Questions and Answers] young707:
I do found USB dongle adapter for GSM quad frequency modem for cellular network. It has software and drivers to work on Windows laptops. I think this is called Huawei modem USB adapter.

But not software for Android tablets (wifi only) to connect to internet using Cellular network. Does anybody out there get this working?
[General Questions and Answers] matte27:
if you have a usb port, you would buy some huawei models with driver for android:

-huawei e160

e169

e220

e1750

after connecting the modem, you must configure the correct APN for your mobile network and if the sim doesn't recognises, you shuold delete the pin code with a cellphone
[General Questions and Answers] deliciouslysmug:
Is there a reason you need to buy a

USB

3G modem and not just a 3G/4G wifi-hotspot? That would save you the pain of having to have it plugged in and I think they're usually comparably priced, no?
[General Questions and Answers] sudhar007:
reply to usb modem

yes u can first check in tablet u have usb port u can

if u have miniusb u have to buy a bini usb to usb converter then plug select network apn etc
[General Questions and Answers] young707:
I think using GSM with SIM both T-Mobile and AT&T have pre-paid usage plan that only charge what you use, not in monthly contract.

Am I correct?

They have a small piece of artwork on their facebook page that hints towards what it can be. Apparently if you like their page, you can unlock a Youtube video or some more artwork to figure out what it is. I'm curious if it'll be optimized for the Xperia Play or not. What do you guys think about it? Oh and here's their facebook page. If this is built using the Unreal Engine, my expectations for it are already high. I'm hoping it'll be a hack n' slash game like God of War or something similar.

Hey everyone, I got the stock ICS from Kies about a month ago, and hated how horrific the WiFi signal was, so I rooted, got a darkside rom, and still stunk. I don't want to upgrade to something that is less powerful, and has a lot less reliability. Does anyone else have WiFi strength issues on ICS in general? I mean I really just want the most stable rom and rooted, but I know I don't want it if it's not 100% ready for day-to-day use and for college, when I can't get a new clockwork mod or something. Any help? Thanks!

Guys,

Whats shakin? Okay I need some testers for JB EOS Rom (4.1.1_r4 base) for Crespo and Crespo4g (I have to build the crepso still). Everything is working in this rom, but Settings/performance. I have to tinker with that tomorrow since this is the first time we are introducing the herring devices to EOS. If you want to check out our site its www.teameos.org. Soloranz and bigrushdog are the main devs and they are just flat out awesome. Just PM me if you want to test it out for me.

Here you go. This is a working Crespo4g rom. http://www.mediafire.com/?b67y9se57tdcbng please try to use the stock kernel. I know Settings/performance FCs. Softkeys will not work, we just need to make sure they dont build for Crepos. This mod was just added in last night. I fixed mms that should work, if it doesnt blame it on Sprint. Just try to get give me some feedback here in the thread.
