Charger considerations

Hi,

I need advise for the following:

Charger A (Li-polymer battery) output : 5V, 1A

Charger B (Li-polymer battery) output : 5V, 500mA

Device input: 5V, 750mAH (Li-ion / Li-polymer)

When using Charger A, some people comment that it will limit the current of 750mAH for the device and the device's battery should be fine since both the charger and device are at 5V. However, some people comment that this will shorten the battery life of the device since it will perform a 'quick charge' using 1A.

When using Charger B, some people comment that the device will draw more current than it can deliver and causes it to heat up and reduces the charger's life. However, some people comment that Charger B will extend the battery life of the device since it performs a 'slow charge'.

I also read that USB pins on the charger denotes if the charger is a PC or a dedicated charger. If it is a PC, the device will limit the drawing current. If it is a dedicated charger, the device will draw more current to charge itself.

I am confused as to who is right and which charger should i be using.

Can someone enlighten me ?

Thank you very much.

but for its price its quite a good bet, 12000mAh for 33 bucks (on sale until tomorrow)

I went on a trip this year and searched for a good bank, and this showed up.

I tried it and it was really good, it has lots of adapters and it's cheap =P
[General Accessories] NewbCentral:
I was able to order a RavPower 5600mAh on sale a while back ago, that was posted on slickdeals. here. I am pretty happy with the performance of the little backup, it defiantly gets the job done. My only complaint is that the body gets scratched up easily.
[General Accessories] Green Ranger:
I was comparing the Ravpower and the Anker 5600 and they both look exactly the same except that both are branded with their logos. So I'm wondering if they're from the same manufacturer. Going to have to do some more research. However my current Ravpower power bank I do have is working great and I love this thing for trips.

I'm also thinking of getting a solar one for my 3day emergency/bug out bag. Thanks for all the suggestions.
[General Accessories] tgmeyer:
Yeah, can someone please let me know if they are the exact same manufactuers, except for the company logos on them? I am deciding between the two. Also, what do you guys think of their 2600maH stick version? Which manufactuer would you go for over the other and why? I am very interested.
[General Accessories] nottellingeither:
I'm using a "Scosche SolBAT II Solar Powered Backup Battery and Charger" which I bought off Amazon for something ridiculous like $15 last year.

I bought it for hiking mostly as an emergency charger. I use a Huawei phone as a GPS out in the wilderness, and the GPS app (Androzic) is quite power intensive. I have also used the same device on an iPhone and an iPod touch. The Huawei phone will receive a full charge from this battery, but the iDevices will only go to around 75%.

The solar cell on the back of the battery isn't all that efficient and will take about two days to charge the internal battery, but having it there gives you more options should an emergency occur while in the wilderness. A half hour charging in full sunlight would provide enough power for a short call or a couple of texts to family or emergency services.

The device comes with suction cups and a small carabiner, so it can be stuck to the inside of your car window or clipped to the back of your rucksack. The device is lighter and smaller than the average smartphone and can be fully charged by USB in about three hours. Interestingly, the device has a LOT of bad reviews on Amazon, so maybe they simply sent me a good one.

I also have a very cheap and nasty handcrank USB charger from dealextreme which can be used to add a bit of juice to the solar battery pack at night or in cloudy weather or can directly charge the phone in an emergency. It's a little flimsy and takes a fair bit of cranking to get enough juice for even one call, but it weighs nothing, cost about $2 and is cheap insurance out in the boonies.

My list of power equipment for the phone/GPS and the iPod Touch for a multi-day walk are as follows:

Short Micro USB cable x 1

iPod USB cable x 1

Scosche SolBAT II battery/charger with alloy carabiner

DX hand crank battery charger

Total weight is less than 200 grams
[General Accessories] NewbCentral:
That is a nice list of equipment. How is the solar powered charger coming along?
[General Accessories] Green Ranger:
Honestly i went with pricing. I assume if they look the same they are from the same vendors/manufactures but different brand/company. Reviews for both sound very good too. Ravpower had a promo going on a while back and i tend to see them pop up from time to time on slick deals. The stick might give you one charge but since it looks smaller than the rest, it may be the easiest and lightest to carry around. I say get a decent sized one. Anywhere between 5600mah to 10000mah so you can go through a few charges without needing to charge again.
[General Accessories] l27_0_0_1:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scripted:
So sorry if this is a noobly question, I just haven't been able to find an answer anywhere on the internet or by calling around.

Will the google nexus 4 work on Sprint at all? I don't need LTE and I doubt I'll ever get it in my area. I'm fine with just regular 3G speeds.

(Lincoln, Nebraska ranked 4th worst city in the US for cell phone coverage. Awesome right?)

I really want to get this phone, but GSM is practically non-existent in my area, and I would probably go broke without Sprint's unlimited data.

I saw somewhere something about this phone having WCDMA. And I know Sprint runs on CDMA. Not sure if this is compatible.

Thanks for any answers provided
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
Not with the current variants. Wcdma is a umts/gsm technology.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malibu_23:
likely expect a cdma version like always months later. similar to how sprint did with the nexus s 4g and galaxy nexus LTE. my guess is a sprint version sometime in the spring. LTE hopefully as the past sprint variants had its latest 4g radio (wimax/LTE)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hunter-Eastland:
Hi sorry if this has already been asked I searched and nothing near relevant came up.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YankInDaSouth:
Nope... No LTE support for the Nexus 4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
wont happen. you want a GSM device (ie: nexus from the playstore), get on a GSM carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
U cant Verizon runs on a CDMA network the nexus 4 Is only available for gsm networks only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jasondhsd:
That sucks! Nexus 4 would be a fantastic option foe people who want to keep their unlimited data by not getting a subsidized phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
We should all go on strike and break down the Verizon HQ doors and say be Fuuuuu*ing reasonable and be a push over like you guys were for apple.

Seriously. That would be awesome.

Apple has it's own free will to update on their own terms. Google should too.

--------------------------------------------------

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
No they don't. Just like Android, iOS updates are vetted by the carriers. The singular reason that you and many others perceive Apple to be in the driver's seat is that they sit on the update until it's deemed ready for mass consumption on all carriers and across at least all of their hardware. Android updates, on the other hand, are pushed in more of a piecemeal fashion as each device is signed off on.

I'll take as available updates any day of the week rather than intentionally delayed ones.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Androiduser96:
Well, I recently got the S3 is rooted running Xquizit v35. But my main question is what exactly is the counter?

is there any bad things if it gets too high? does it need to be reset?

Oh, and based on your opinion and experience what is the best ROM for us T-Mo S3 users out there?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saldebot:
The counter is for samsung to tell if you have ever modified your device. They do this for warranty purpose, if it is tripped then they will charge you. However Chainfire has an app out called Triangle away that will put your counter to zero.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] handman29:
There is no such as the BEST ROM...I recommend cm10 ...its a great noob ROM...its stable enough for daily use.

http://get.cm/?device=d2tmo

You can download it there...make sure you get the latest gapps because the ROM doesn't have them reinstalled
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
And I would disagree it a very un-noob rom, it has words they'd have to search "nightly" "milestone" "gapps" better option, stock ROM debloated, or stock ROM with root permission and learn what you can do from there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
If you've flashed you have to send Samsung $15 if you want to keep your warranty.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Androiduser96:
Well, I'm not a noob at android I know most about it. I'm just new to Samsung. I haven't tried CM10 since I'm mainly about battery life w/ a good performance. How's the battery life on CM10? And I guess I'll try to reset my counter with that app. Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
FWIW my counter is at 15 right now. (See how worried I am about it)

Just download Triangle Away and run it when you want. After each flash, once a week, never. It all depends on how careless/ful you are when flashing and if you bork something so bad, it has to be returned for warranty.

Also best ROM threads are frowned upon bc they always turn into pissing contests.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Actionx1:
How do I check my counter?

type R-blood
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Either run triangle away or boot into download mode. Both will show your flash counter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
Ok, so can't ask "best ROM", but, is everything working and stable in any particular version of CM10?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SportingChap:
I see people talking about the warranty aspect of it, but I found out the hard way that having the counter not zeroed out affects the way some T-Mo and Samsung services work. Examples:

1) I was excited the AllShare Cast dongle for $50, got it all hooked up, then had this problem where every time the phone tried to hook up to the hub, it would just disconnect after a few seconds. After doing some reading, it was discovered that if your flash count reset back to zero (and binary showing as "official"), then the hub worked just fine. So I did the Triangle Away business, and bam. Worked like a charm.

2) There was a promotion a little while back where T-Mobile customers could view or download The Avengers movie from one of the bloatware apps I removed long ago. I don't remember all the details, but the download only worked once the counter and then the TV app data were both reset.

So there are real world reasons to go ahead and reset the flash counter back to zero. It just took me a little bit of time to figure this out myself. And now I'm passing the savings on to youuuuu! ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Androiduser96:
Thanks for that! That's a heads up :D

Seriously does anyone know of anything I can possibly do to make this boot again after I flash it? It just hangs on the black screen after the dual core logo, every time. I can't imagine my phone can be bricked when it can still be communicated with, but I simply cannot load android. UGH!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Have you tried going in to stock recovery and wiping data and cache?
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
I have data wiped/factory reset in stock recovery at least 30x. I do it every time before I flash. I had flashed using RSD and using ICS Tools. Both APPEAR to work as they get through, error free. It's only after I boot the phone up for the first time that I either a) get stuck on the black screen after the moto logo, or b) get to the point where is says android is upgrading, and then starting applications, where it then hangs indefinitely.

It's basically driving me nuts. I can't think of another way to skin this cat.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Have you tried wiping AFTER fastbooting? Not sure it would make a difference but might be worth a shot. I just recently fastbooted my Xoom and it wouldn't boot until after I factory reset in stock recovery. One other thought, are you sure your were on .217? Maybe you could try using the method used when moving to new ICS leaks from an older leak. (Man that seems like forever ago. LOL).

ICS tools? I thought there was a ICS SBF file now. Doesn't that make the whole "ICS tools" thing unnecessary now?
