[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sevron:
I had to buy the extended battery for my GNex replacement since it was my 2nd upgrade phone due to issues and I'm wondering does the extended battery have an NFC chip in it or what? I'm going to be really pissed if it doesn't have it and need to buy one that does have an NFC chip in it. I bought it from Verizon in store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
It has NFC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarrellRaines:
Yes it has it....pretty sure the box mine came in said extended battery w/ NFC chip. Could have been wrong...but pretty sure the box says it right on front.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sevron:
Box never mentioned NFC on it and the back was a PITA to get on so I don't want to take it off to check the battery to see if it said it. I swear, that back cover came with a few bent pins right out of the box and made for a really hard time getting it installed perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2ksilverbullet:
As mentioned, it does have it. If the extended battery cover is a pain, put the stock one back on. That's what im using with the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sevron:
They just sent me the phone itself, no battery or cover. Had to buy the extended battery and cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gagb1967:
I think the nfc is in the phone, the battery has to have the antenna

I have 4G LTE unlimited grandfather plan on my S3. But as you all know, the battery drain pretty quick with 4G LTE. I cant even last a day with normal usuage. I am on on stock LH1 rooted rom. I've found that turn off data from the notification bar help with the battery tremendously but dont want to miss out important emails when im not near a computer.

What app/widget do you guys use to automatically turn data on and off periodically like let say on for 30 minutes then off for 30 minutes, or off/on permanently via manually override from the user?

I've searched on the market and Google but no luck..

Thanks guys!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tomtommy306:
I use switchpro widget. It has a data toggle that you can switch on and off as needed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thin_aire:
JuiceDefender claims to be able to do this. You can select how often data is enabled and the duration.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fallenkirmit:
+1 for recommending Juice Defender. I upgraded to ultimate, wasnt really necassary though you can set schedules for it to sync anywhere from reactivating your data every 5 minutes to once every couple hours and everywhere in between. Can set it to turn off your gps, wifi, blue tooth etc... :) Just my 2 cents
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EddyVercetti:
JuiceDefender is probably your best choice. I've been using it on every Android phone I've had and it gives you a great deal of customization if you upgrade to ultimate.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:

You can do that in settings without a third party app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
That's not what he's asking.

Your answer is juice defender or those types of apps. Like easy battery saver and Green Power.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxlikquidxx:
been using Juice Defender for a week and it does the job just like how i wanted! Battery life has been increased tremendously!! I love this app! Thanks everyone for the recommendation!

found something on chinese site that looks good

This looks really rough, but apparantly there is a boot.img, then other cracking tools can be used.

I'd love to try it, but... well... my chinese is limited to google-translate.

The URL won't post so this is a big hint:

I think I got it root on g302d u8812d

Currently on that URL is a approx 14 MB rar file download, I _think_ I just got it sorted!

I don't have time now to make this pretty, but some others who want to hack. add links, etc feel free to work with this...

in fact I dont know if all these steps are required.

General Broad steps (ymmv, you are doing this to your own dang phone, dont blame me for bricks viruses or earthquakes etc, etc/ etc).

on your computer, uninstall adb, pdanet and any other tools that use the adb drivers and dlls, reboot as needed.

install the mt6575 drivers (I forgot whether I downloaded these or if they were part of the 14 meg file) reboot as needed

power down phone.

remove battery from phone, don't plug into computer.

launch flash_tool.exe

load the included scatterloading file MT6575...emmc.txt

press the download button

plug in phone to usb

put battery in phone

watch the blinkinlights for a few seconds, wait for the big green O

then I disconnect phone and ensure power down.

install SDK

power up phone and plug in

test adb (adb shell)

kill adb server

download and install superoneclick

download extra superoneclick exploits

launch superoneclick

click the big root button.

Test (you can use something like rom manager)

Now people should be able to try to install various CWMs.

I haven't gotten that far yet.

still getting "partners" to force close, but a lot of other stuff is working.
[General Questions and Answers] hiosin:
Great work!!! I'll try this on my phone or wait until is working?

Are the recovery and rom in chinese?

Thank a lot for testing.
[General Questions and Answers] j_chytown:
working well

It is working very well.

No need for you or anyone to wait.

Just please know what you are doing (do you have basic understanding of recovery mode, roms, factory mode, and the dangers) in other words, if this is your first time doing this on a phone.. ask someone who knows what they are doing for help because I am not able to put together a documented procedure, but the findings above should allow someone else to do that. Additionally, I have no idea of the legality or safety of the software at URLs above.

conceptually this is 4 steps

1) flash boot.img that will allow cracking

2) crack to get SU installed

3) install Mobile Uncle Recovery mode and app

4) install gapps.

The MobileUncle recovery mode is Chinese, But the mobileuncle app is kinda like rom manager, it lets you set up what happens at next boot so you don't need to read the chinese in recovery text mode.

The patched rom is working for me in English with root, no detectable problem except FC on google partners (and I can't tell if that actually does anything). Remember this is not a new rom, just a patch to the huawei rom that allows a root crack.

There are about 4 chinese apps that I am afraid to uninstall..

one appears to be a chinese app store too, kinda fun to browse

gapps must be flashed with mobileuncle recovery (don't just unzip them)

US google play store is working.

I am fully migrated to this phone now and use it for daily work.

Good luck, and remember that this is why you got an android instead of a i-Thing.
[General Questions and Answers] hiosin:
Thanks thanks again. I'll try it and don't worry this is not the first time to modify a mobile. If it is all ok i posted here.

Working u8812d

This does not work for my u8812d, gives an error using flash tool
[General Questions and Answers] michaellyon:
Still not rooting

Thanks for the steps though the problems are still coming thick and fast, I have a new U8812D from China, no China unicom splashscreen but lots of 'bloatware' still. I've been trying for days to root this thing and nothing's working.

I'm pretty sure I need root access becasue the phone is currently preventing me from adding my Gmail account and using the google play market and apps, other bits and pieces like assigning incoming call number to a contact are supposedly fixed by getting the google thing right. The phone is good but I'm missing alot of functionality.

If the above description sounds like rooting is not the solution, please let me know and point me to the right forum, if rooting is the obviously the only way out, I'm hoping to clarify a few step in the above walkthrough to help me and others.

1. I cant install the mt6575 MediaTek drivers, installing directly gives error 'driver cannot be installed this way' there is no COM-LPT port in my device manager to attach it to as a manually locate driver, I can add a COM port with add remove hardware but I have Code 10 error, device cannot start and doesnt seem to accept the mt6575 driver as an update even when forced to it with locate new driver, apparently this is no problem from other forums, still bugging me. Maybe I havent the right files? how do i get COM-LPT ports to show up properly?

2. when 'install m6575 drivers ... reboot' is the phone plugged in? to what device do we install the drivers or should it be automatic?

3. launch flash tool, i have located two versions of the MT6575...emmc.txt file, one delivers error, block count fail and has no files paths for the item in the main table, the other refuses to open, giving error, incorrect scatter file format. The latter has considerably more data in it when read in notepad.

4. Becasue of these errors, SP flash tool does not download to phone. all subsequent steps fail.

Assuming the initial flashing steps are successful, I must to use SuperOneClick to root the phone, where do I find the extra exploits needed? or are tehy automoatically sourced by SOC? Succeeding the root access step, I assume i can freeze the apps causing problems to my google sign in or delete them. Or could I please be directed to the ATTPlain rom mentionned by JohnnyParanoia in 'Almost All Huawei Stock Roms (Firmware) - Updated 28/06/12' board.

Since so many of the resource files I've trawled through are bung, anyone who can point me to reliable/tested files known to work with the U8812d I'd greatly appreciate in on top of the great appreciation I already have for your patience with a Noob. I located the 14Mbit .rar file mentioned above but not all parts worked, had to dl the different programs individually and some files had to hunt down form fileshare sites.

Lastly, i am using an HP laptop, Windows 7 64-bit, Thanks in advance.

I've heard there are performance improvements.

Performance is still awful. I can't remember if it used to be worse, but it still has a ways to go before it's any good...

Why would microsoft lock in PDF support to Adobe who clearly cares little for WP7? There could be a number of apps already better than adobe if if were allowed...

Going to get the Razr M. Is there a way on the current Razr to turn off LTE systematically? I.e., have smart actions turn it off while screen off, etc.? Figuring it would be the same between Razr and M.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pjcons:
I didn't know the current Razr (XT910 GSM) had LTE ability? I'm guessing you're talking about the 912 CDMA right?

I'm waiting for the GSM Razr M as it will have quadband LTE and we'll be able to use it on 4G in Australia, unlike the current GSM Razr. :(

Reverend Kyle here...

I will be doing a full comparison video on the Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD versus the Google Nexus 7 Tablet once mine arrives (Hopefully on the 14th). Some of you may already be familiar with my previous work with other tablets.

I am opening up the floor to you. What sort of things would you like me to compare?

Obvious ones:

-Physical appearance and dimensions

-Camera performance

-Benchmarks (Please specify which Benchmarks you prefer)

-Audio

-WIFI performance

I truly believe that this will be an interesting comparison between these two tablets. We may have an interesting battle here.

I look forward doing videos on this device as the development starts to take shape.

:cool:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] e.mote:
Pocketability - See how many types of (oversized) pockets either can fit into. At 5.4" width, the KF HD 7 doesn't look to fit into any AFAIK. That would substantially undercut its portability if it needs a bag/purse.

Netflix or Prime HD video - See how either fares with paid HD video content, and the quality. It is called the KF HD, after all.

Wifi - Signal level isn't a good indicator of performance. More effective is a simple distance (w/ obstructions) test: while streaming a HD video (preferably the same source), walk away from the router until video stream breaks up.

Location-based services, incl mapping - See if KF HD uses wifi geolocation to compensate for lack of GPS, and how well it fares. Compare Amazon's mapping service (if any) to Goog's.

App selections of Amazon vs Google's stores.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] thedauntlessone:
Can you confirm the performance of the Kindle Fire HD compared to Nexus 7? Gizmodo had stated in their review that the Kindle Fire HD is not as responsive as Nexus 7.

Review from Gizmodo: http://gizmodo.com/5941095/kindle-fire-hd-hands-on-pretty-impressivefor-the-price

Aside from that, form factor would be a big one. The KF HD has what seems like a big bezel.

Which screen is better would be a big one.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lerijiso:
Understandable, there is no way any ICS devices will be as responsive as JellyBean, plus the heavily modded with the amazon interface on the KFhd. But the review made is sound so horrible. Lol. However, the reviewer did say that once you've experience JB you will never find anything lower than that satisfactory, so i think it is not that bad.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] shareride:

i feel Nexus 7 wins in portability and design.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Rody2k6:
Actually I would also like to see if rooted the Kindle Fire HD would beat the Nexus 7 in terms of apps and usability outside the Amazon region, because basically the Kindle is locked inside an Amazon box.

Also people does Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7 both have flash support?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] robertc88:
I say leave rooting OUT of the comparison.

Flash isn't supported on the Nexus 7 BUT I got it to work on about 90% of the videos I tried. The KFHD? Time will tell I guess unless it has been already confirmed that Flash is supported and works.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] raptir:
For the out-of-the-box experience I can't imagine the Kindle Fire HD winning. My girlfriend has the original Kindle Fire, and basically only uses it for reading because she can't use any of her Android apps purchased for her older tablet. And keep in mind that your average person isn't going to want to deal with rooting/maintaining a rooted device (XDA users are certainly not your average Android user). The Kindle Fire HD will certainly be a step up, but it's still primarily a portal for using Amazon-purchased content. It's not truly an Android tablet (unless you root it, assuming an exploit will even be found for the HD).
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
Not necessarily. When I bought a Kindle Fire for my wife, I had no intention of modifying the stock software in any way. It was only out of necessity that I even found XDA in the first place, as she wanted me to look for a way to change the wallpapers. At the time, I knew nothing about Android or rooting, but without that knowledge we would be locked into Amazon's uncostomizable buggy software. Of course we could have accepted it as it was, if there were no other options...

Most people want to get the most out of their money, and the stock Amazon software is very generic as far as tablets go. It does have some great proprietary features for people looking for an e-reader and not much else, but most of the people that buy a Kindle Fire want more than that. This is why you see people in these forums of all ages and all levels of technical experience, trying to root their KFs...Amazon really hasn't given them much choice.

And just so you know, we now have three, fully modifed KFs running different ROMs and no stock software in any of them.

I just sold nexus 7 to buy 8.9 kindle fire only because my main purpose for the tablet is to watch movies. The 8.9 inch has one the best displays out now and 300 bucks. You don't want to spend three hundred dollars on a tablet I would recommend nexus 7. nexus seven is light weight and can do all the stuff kindle fire can do and then some. I owned 8 gig model I am not new to rooting and installing roms with nexus 7 toolkit the beginner could root this tab and unlock it.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ravynmagi:
I'd like to see a comparison of color quality. The Nexus 7 is a bit subpar here, greens and yellows look a bit pastel and a slight washed out look. And the Tegra 3 causes an over exposed look after playing many videos (easily fixed once rooted).

"The 7-inch, 1280 x 800 display on the Fire HD is fantastic. The IPS, LCD screen looks better than probably any other tablet display I've seen, save for the new iPad. While the pixel density is the same for both the Nexus 7 and the Fire HD (216 compared to the iPad's 264), the Fire blows away the Nexus in terms of color richness, black levels, and general brightness."
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ravynmagi:
Yeah, I'm hoping the more this gets highlighted and mentioned, the more embarrassed Google should be and will hopefully apply a software update for the issue (and hopefully it's something that can be fixed with an update).
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] pokey9000:
If you must have a tablet now and intend to root it, get the Nexus 7. It's a sure thing. Don't be put off by the people whining about defects; nobody posts when their tablet is working correctly.

If you can tolerate Amazon's lock-in, get the Fire HD.

If you don't need a tablet right now and do want root, then wait. Buying just released hardware expecting root and other hacks out of the gate is dumb.
