I have to take my whole otterbox case off to clean off all the dust and dirt on the inside....so when I do that later today or tomorrow I'll take a couple pictures of my stock battery that came with my phone!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] audit13:
I have the original battery from two different i747m phones and neither battery had a date stamped on it. One phone was purchased from Bell in January, 2014 and other other phone came from Rogers in Sep/13.

I was looking on Amazon.ca for a replacement and it seems that some reviewers say the battery is great while others claim the battery is a fake.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pjcordi:
I feel the battery is fake. Just because of how quickly it drains and when I had my old s3 with the battery from rogers it never dies as quickly as this one. Oh well looks like I'll just have to buy a new one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Michael_P:
I wouldn't waste my money on an original battery anyway because I've been using 2200mah Anker batteries which are less than half the cost of originals but actually do last longer, seem to be just as good quality and have an 18 month warranty instead of 6 months on original.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vmancini3:
Ok....so if this helps anyone....I work with someone who has the Sprint GS3 (SPH-L710) and I took some pictures of the stock battery that came with his phone when he got it brand new!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] joevik:
In regards to this post from last year. The battery on the left is the one which came with the phone and other one was from aliexpress seller sowhoob at US$9.

Andrew from battery review tested the fake battery.

I have also purchased a pisen battery for the s3 which performs quite well.

Rather stick to genuine products though
[Galaxy S III Accessories] starwinter33:
I work as purchasing for a trading company. One funny thing about buying battery product from China is that postal service no longer accept anything with build in battery. I read a news that a plane in Shanghai catch on fire due to the battery explosion...

Not sure if its anything related but

If its battery for my phone, I would rather buy from authentic source never on ebay...

Fake battery

I bought on ebay battery for s3 mini they said it is genuine samsung but it is fake.After charging it rapidly drops on 70% and than when it reach 20%phone shuts down.I scratched down aluminium battery cover and I found under some letters and numbers and among that that it is 500 mAh and not 1500mAh as it is on cover and it acts like it is 500mAh.

i bought this item but im not sure if its genuine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CompleteIdiot:
interesting thread. I have just purchased a 4th spare battery. 2 old spares (EB-L1G6LLU, 2013..2.20, made in korea, assembled in china!) have basically died after c. 1 year. Don't like to be charged and often cause phone to re-boot when they have accepted a charge. Interestingly, the original (unlocked phone purchased in UK but really a German phone) was also a EB-L1G6LLU (2012.10.11, korea/china) and is still going strong and another spare EB-L1G6LLU (2013.01.18, china[only]) is also still going strong.

The spare I have just purchased from a reputable UK online retailer is a 'A': .EB-L1G6LLA (2014.05.16, korea/china)

What to make of this? I can't pick a pattern.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bypx:
My 2cents:

We've 3 official Samsung Service centers here in italy, we can obtain from samsung only bulk batteries because they sell to us only spare parts and not accessories, we've to buy accessories in retail boxes from third party suppliers and I can confirm that 80% of suppliers have some fake batteries in stock.

Now I've found an official Samsung partner in Germany with 100% genuine accessories. I pay batteries more than you can find on ebay or amazon.... For example the i9300 battery 14.51 eur inc. VAT so is impossible that a battery you can buy for 7-8-9 eur/usd is original.

My fake batteries!

I bought a new battery for my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 as it said 100% genuine!

Unfortunately it is a fake.

The label shows that it has Near Field Communication but it clearly hasn't as their is no sign of an antenna when the label is pulled back.

Furthermore the label is shinny on the inside instead of being of the same outside colour,.

The battery casing is covered in scratches and the laser engraving of the manufacturer's logo on the casing of the battery is not lasered on but inked.

Worst of all: I accidentally asked the Ebay seller to send change the delivery address after the purchase, to my surprise a second battery was delivered at my home address.....And guess what the second battery was also a fake WITH THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER!!!! A serial is to identify each piece produced, no 2 items have the same one!!! Model: EB-L1G6LLU S/N: AA1DB23DS/2-B

Will ask for refund and see what happens next!

If you have the stock kernel (boot.img) and stock ROM (fully stock, no files deleted), stock recovery should flash itself back to your phone every time the device boots up.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devils77:
Can anyone here help or assist me, How to change the Galaxy S3 Touch Sound???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PyromaniacGhoul:
changing system sounds

This requires root!

The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/

!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!

Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"

If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.

Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL

Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.

Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).

Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and

make sure it is named correctly

, it is case sensitive.

Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrophonique:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?

Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
Your root has failed, download root checker to see.

If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeahr:
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkarlh:
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.

Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.

Thanks,

Karl
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterex567:
First you need to Root.

There are good guides around here.

I'd recommend ES File Explorer

Download it then

Open ES File Explorer

Menu > Settings > Root settings.

Check Root Explorer

Click Grant when SU popup appears.

Check Up to Root

and Check Mount File System.

Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maluminse:
Slightly easier

No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.

Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)

Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.

navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.

Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.

Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)

Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuxanator:
I just bought a Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (sgh-t959v) today and tried to update it to Ice Cream Sandwich. So I followed this guide to restore to stock Android 2.1 "youtube. com /watch?v=L52mrkhMVFA".

I got the phone into download mode and followed the odin process (pit/pda) and pressed start. It seemed like it was frozen at 1% and not going nowhere for like 2 min so i unplug the cable and popped the battery. Tried the procedure again and on this attempt it went about 90% of download and it FAILED >.< Now all my phone shows is a phone with exclamation mark connecting to computer.

Steps taken to resolve this:

Remove/insert battery + volume up/down + usb cable. = yellow exclamation mark (instead of download mode)

Volume up + Power button = yellow exclamation mark (instead of recovery mode)

What do I do now????

Im really bummed out about this :( any help would be much appreciated

Sgh-t959v is vibrant 4g. It's a different phone than sgh-t959. They have a separate forum. Also most of the time you can still Odin your phone from that android exclamation mark screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
As Alex said this is a different phone so first get the correct Odin files. Second never unplug from Odin while its running, that will definitely hard brick your phone. From where you are now you should be able to use Odin. Even if the phone doesn't appear to be in DL mode you can run the files.

[Nexus 7 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Tablets alone has better specs then the phone. With the Nexus 7 coming in at 199$ the phone business was dead on arrival, at least for me. I'm a unlocked kind of guy and I would at times spend nearly 800$ for a unlocked device! That's until I started to pay great attention to the tablet business. Now, I couldn't care less; or should I say, I couldn't kinda care less about the smart phone hype now that the Nexus 7 just dropped the 199$ high end spec bomb in the tech world, I think that I will be sticking with my Nexus S and my G Nexus for the next five years if Google keep dropping 199$ bombs on the tech world with high end specs the Nexus 7. So, what do you guys think?

(Edit) Update! Typo fixed!
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
I think the phrase you misused multiple times is supposed to be "couldn't care less" or else this whole post is rather pointless.

But yeah my galaxy nexus battery life has improved a lot since getting my 7 :)
[Nexus 7 General] PikkonX:
Same here. Just picked up my Nexus 7 this past Thursday and I've rarely put it down since then. My Galaxy S II lasted well over 30 hours this weekend since it was only used for texting and well....talking :D

I agree, though I think I will keep my Nexus S for another 2 years max, not 5 years. :)

Get the program Tablet Talk, which can enable texting directly from the Nexus 7 thru your phone, and it will be one less thing to use the phone for.
[Nexus 7 General] merrywhq:
interested in Tablet Talk, using wifi or bluetooth? so must keep them on for both devices?
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
I to hardly ever use my phone . But i have had a tablet since the launch of the acer a500. Thou it was a bit to large to use out and about. With the nexus 7 it stays by my side at all times. I have even flashed my phone back to a close to stock environment.I use it basically for a modem for my tablet. But of course calls on it is still better then a app such as tablet talk. Which does work quite well.

So with this being a wifi only device you cant ditch your phone completely unless maybe you get one of those MIFI type devices. Then you will be packing around a huge phablet phone . I think seeing people make calls on the Note looks quite silly. But its just me. The Nexus 7 Paired with a nice smart phone is a Absolute near perfect Solution for mobile communications . For me anyway.

I do really enjoy the nexus tablet. Thou i do wish it had sd card slot.Bad decision on googles part to leave it out... Thou i do know and understand there reasons behind it... CLOUD THIS CLOUD THAT.. i think there mind is cloudy as to what Consumers really want... we want our content on our device.. Not floating in the clouds forcing us to use more data from our carriers or Hunting for a wifi hot spot ...

just my observation of the whole nexus experience... Good Luck with your phablet....
[Nexus 7 General] mrhomiec:
Tablet Talk lets you choose between WiFi or Bluetooth. i personally use WiFi just because that provided a wider range. and yea, the app has to run on both devices. it will detect if it's running on a phone, to broadcast the "request". and then it will detect if it's on the tablet to connect to that request.

as a bonus, if you have a headset paired to your tablet, Tablet Talk can even answer phone calls for you. or it says it can. i don't have a bluetooth headset to test this on.

When i bought my first tablet I was thinking I'm never gonna use this...well I was wrong i bought the galaxy tab 10.1 when it came out it was an OK tablet (I paid too much I know) I sold it after a few months and now I have purchased the. N7 and I really love it its the best tablet experience I've ever had.

Thre is always a trade off to have function versus battery life. Thou there is a thread on here as to how to tether using Bluetooth.I Have tried it and it does work..

the foxfi app from the android market will help you with this. it has instructions in the app itself if i remember right. I have wiped my nexus since then and not put it back.
[Nexus 7 General] brando56894:
I definitely use my N7 more than I use my HTC Rezound but I didn't ditch it 100% because my Nexus only has 8gb whereas my Rezound has 48gb and it's kind of a pain to carry around two devices. I mostly just use my Nexus when I'm at home and my Rezound is my mobile device that comes with me everywhere.
[Nexus 7 General] Duvuk:
Always using my n7 nowadays. I did WiFi tether it to my one x the other day and it destroyed my one x battery in about 10 hours. But I find that Bluetooth tethering drops out after a while.

Also, tablet talk is great
[Nexus 7 General] Logic_:
10 hours? Try half! Or like 7 :p

But I don't think bluetooth over wifi doesn't matter too much in terms of power, it's mainly the antenna + bad 3g reception for me.
