[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mhoepfin:
Perfect!! Just what I was looking for... rather than carrying a car charging kit when I travel it is much easier for me to keep an extra charged battery I can pop if it gets low.

But with 6 hours screen time, I don't think that will happen very often!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lepapirriky:
And now its gone...I have to keep an eye on this because its an awesome deal.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] initial_k:
If the dock actually charges the phone while it's docked, it would have been amazing. Otherwise, it's an okay deal for a battery and charger.

You can get the OEM charger dock without the battery on ebay for about $10 bucks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lepapirriky:
So it does charges at the time? Thats weird...why would they do such a thing? Do you already have this accesory?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] initial_k:
It only charges the spare extra battery.

It does not charge the battery within the phone when it's dock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dtoep:
Have one for my S3 ....use it all the time!! Going to order one now for N2 per your email.

Thanks..

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mazdamiata210:
I have one for my original galaxy note, however I'm not sure if I should spend the money on this since the battery is so massive in this phone I haven't been able to kill it in almost a week now. Having an extra battery that I would almost never use is kind of a waste isn't it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lepapirriky:
One week? Wow thats alot. I use my phone pretty much all the morning and i drain to half with about 5 or 6 hrs of use starting at 9
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
You maybe right. Most of us will still have charge left after 12 hours of pretty use. Since the phone is new, I've been using it a lot, configuring, testing, etc. Yet at the end of the day, I am still staring at 40%. But for $25, which include A/C charger, battery charger/holder, and the included battery, it is a hard deal to pass up. It will come in handy on a long day at the amusement park.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mazdamiata210:
I think you misunderstood. I didn't mean my phone has lasted all week long on a single charge haha. I mean every day I'm going to sleep (long 17 hour days) and the phone is still on 20-40 percent depending on how badly I abuse it. The only day I killed it to 0% was the first day I got it because my battery came charged to about 55%
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wish777:
Ever notice looking on ebay for extra batteries look at the supposedly oem samsung battery..Many pictures don't have the watermark sticker on them....It should have them on the top ..opposite side where the pins are. anyone else notice that?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Use the 1wayjonny's drivers from here. Uninstall all the other drivers, including any hidden drivers, boot your phone normally with USB Debugging enabled in dev settings. Then install the driver manually, i.e., unzip it to a location, then right click on the device in device manager, and install, but don't select auto, select "you choose" (or whatever it is called), and then select "select from a list" and "have disk", and browse to the location where you unzipped the drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nielsvg:
tried it but when i try to install the drivers manually but it says that there are no new or better drivers? and i installed the old drivers first

now one last question.

thanks to efrant i got root access to my phone

but where can i find the apk files of the system apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Are you talking about the system apps currently installed on your device? You can find them in /system/app. Those are the files you want to replace with the 4.2 ones, if that is what you are trying to do. Note that you need a file explorer that has root access (like Root Explorer), and you need to mount the folder as read-write (can be done easily via Root Explorer) if you want to make changes. The /system folder is read-only by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
/system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nielsvg:
i want to install google ears. normally the apk is on my phone so i can install it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Ears is on your device if you are on takju. If you are using something else, you will have to get a hold of the apk and move it to /system/app. You may also have to "enable" it. Use something like pm enable from the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nielsvg:

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it sounds like you haven't done much reading or research on your own prior to diving into the hacking process. Please put some effort into reading the threads that many have posted before to answer your questions. Trust me, they've been answered time and time again.

So I don't come off as (insert noun with negative connotation here), your current problem seems to be your drivers not communicating properly. The toolkit has an option to do a manual set up of the drivers, which also includes instructions on how to install the Samsung drivers as well as the Android 1.0 drivers (for fastboot). Follow them

[About XDA developers] It_ler:
Nice idea ... an alternative to subscribe threads ...

... but it always will use all posts of the last two pages - regardless if you have already read the posts or not. And next time updateing the RSS feed, it does not continue at the last "synchronized" post, it will again use all posts of the last two pages of the thread.

But it is really a good idea IMO :good:
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
Which RSS reader did you use to test the feed? If it uses the post date to check for new messages, it will probably not work correctly with the current implementation. The dates on the XDA site are not formatted in a way that can be easily converted to a date time that conforms to the RSS specification.
[About XDA developers] It_ler:
I just tested it one time with FireFox (standard RSS feed reader).

Now I tested it with Opera Mail, and it seems to synchronize the unread posts correctly.

I will test it later again and report back.
[About XDA developers] It_ler:
Ok, it seems to work fine for low frequently updated threads in Opera Mail :good:

I will test it in the next few days on a high frequently updated thread.

EDIT:

I recognized a small bug when the poster is e.g. a Recognized Developer.

Then the Name of the RSS feed is something like "<span style="font-style:italic;">name</span>".

Looks a little bit weird in the list of unread feeds.
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
2012-11-06 Version 0.2 released

I've just published version 0.2.

The format of the URL to view a single post in the RSS feed has changed. This change will cause your reader to display 11-20 posts twice.

The posts now have correctly formatted time stamps. I'm not really sure about what timezone XDA uses when displaying dates. I'll probably will have to tweak the conversion a bit to make it bullet proof.

HTML highlighting is now removed from the XDA user name.
[About XDA developers] It_ler:
Can confirm, the formatting issue with italic poster names (e.g. for recognized developers) is fixed now.

Good work !
[About XDA developers] It_ler:
Ok, there is a time difference for me (Germany).

A post created on 2:15 PM is displayed as 1:15 PM.

And in highly frequented threads there are some posts missing between updating the RRS feeds using a long update interval.

I updated the feeds of a thread last night and read all posts. The I waited till today afternoon and updated the feeds again.

Many post between the last from yesterday and the first from today are missing.

The maximum read posts of a thread seems to be limited ... and that's good.

I just want to mention that it could lead to missing some posts in high "traffic" threads when updating interval is "long".
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
This is really cool, nice work.

If I may have a recommendation - <title> should include the title of the thread, or at lease the threadid for reference, otherwise if you add multiple threads they will all have the same title and you won't be able to tell them apart without manually editing the name.

If I can add anything to the code on the page - some metadata that would help create good information for the feed, just let me know.
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
I understand the problem and it seems like a flaw in the Yahoo Pipes design. All RSS feeds generated by the "XDA Threads RSS" script will have the same metadata. If you subscribe to more then one RSS feed, it's hard to distinguish between the individual feeds.

I've been looking for a workaround, but it just seems not possible within the current implementation. As you discovered, renaming the feeds in your RSS reader seems to be the (not so great) solution to this problem.

Adding the thread to the title, as you proposed, works well when you usually read the aggregated list of multiple RSS feeds. It only solves part of the problem so I will continue to look for a better solution for now.
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
I live in Amsterdam, so I really should have checked this. :)

What timezone does XDA use when displaying time stamps? It always seems to be correct for me, so I'm wondering if they use some IP-address sniffing or if they just happen to use my timezone (CET / CEST) for all visitors.

Thanks. I've updated the "known problems" section in the OP.
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
I've just released version 0.3 of RSS for XDA.

Fixed in this release:

Timestamps are now converted to CET

Improved RSS generation for threads with only two pages

10 more items in the RSS feed (three pages instead of two)

Recieve update messages directly in your RSS reader (*)

(*) Every time I upgrade the RSS for XDA conversion script, I will push a message to all RSS users.

I'm not really sure if the timestamps in the RSS feeds are correct now. I would like to have some feedback of USA / Asian members with a different timezone setting. The time zone is now CET and it will break when daylight saving time kicks in in half a year. I've spend way to much time trying to add DST detection in Yahoo Pipes...
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
I'm now also using Thunderbird as a RSS reader. It seems that every now and then the regular expression to detect the URL of a post fails and outputs all the HTML instead.

Google Reader (and all programs that rely on it) seems to filter out these malformed RSS items. So I don't know it this bug has always been there or that it was introduced recently. I'm hoping that this quickfix solves the problem. The bug is not reproducable in the Yahoo Pipes debugger, so I'm kinda flying blind here.

Fixed in this version 0.4:

URL extraction would sometimes fail, resulting in duplicate messages of which only one was correct

The postcount is now removed from the URL. If a message was deleted, all later messages would be downloaded twice

The second change will cause all messages (max 30) to be downloaded twice. Again: Google Reader seems to filter out these duplicate messages so you might not see them.
[About XDA developers] ibCurlyFry:
I just wanted to say thank you for your work! i couldn't find anything else like it and im amazed that it isnt more popular :confused:

Anyway, one thing that i dont particularly enjoy is that every rss feed starts with the big block of text: Update: RSS for xda this version adds the option of ect. ect..

while it is useful information, i would enjoy having most of that at the bottom of the feed instead? or if it was removed i could still get that info from this thread? just a thought. And if not, its still amazing! :victory:

This has really helped me stay on top of all of the threads i follow

thanks again!

Edit: One more thing, the example link in the OP has two spaces in it which caused my rss reader to think the url was invalid. Took a couple mins to figure out what was wrong haha. Is this on purpose?

Op Link: [text]http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=a41f01f197a7b89b1fcf6b72b3964a9a&_renSpaceder=rssSpace&t=1975124[/text]

Edit2: after having trouble with trying to put that complete link down without the forum cutting it off into something like http://www.Goo...le.com I presume that is why you put spaces in LOL

Maybe mention to remove spaces in OP for not-so-smart people like me? :D
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
I finally found some time to play around with this tool.

First of all: Thanks a lot, it's an awesome tool! (something like this should really be supported by xda natively).

Second: I think you could add this link to the OP - it's just yahoo's page for the pipe to easily create the links and subscribe to them afterwards:

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=a41f01f197a7b89b1fcf6b72b3964a9a

Third: I got one feature request: Would it be possible to extend it's features to an option which does only show posts by the OP, not posts where he just gets quoted (like &match)?

This would make it even more useful in my opinion :good:
[About XDA developers] ibCurlyFry:
Agreed, nice link
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
Thank you for your kind words. :)

I think XDA wants you to get their XDA Premium app. Between that and the email notifications when you subscribe to a thread there is not a lot of room left for a RSS feed implementation.

If you are an active participant in a thread, the XDA Premium app will allow you to respond directly. But if you, like I do, want to monitor a couple of threads for activity I do prefer RSS.

If more users start to use this RSS feature, a lot of them won't be monitoring this thread. If anything breaks or changes, I can notify all of them at the same time.

RSS readers should only show you the message once per thread. I've been testing with Thunderbird as a RSS reader, and it will only show you the message once across all threads. If you have a RSS reader that misbehaves, please let me know. I will look into it.

That's how this forum works as you've discovered. If you click on the link to open it, it will work without the spaces. If you right click on it and choose "Select target" or "Copy link address" (depending on your browser and language) it works too.

I will add the link to the OP. If people are curious they can even look at the implementation if they want.

There is a trick where you can use &match=posterName[^>]*>.oOOo.< . It will only give you posts from that user. But it will break when XDA decides to change the HTML code used in the page, which will happen sooner or later. So I think it's better to add another option for this specific feature.

I stopped improving the implementation when the response was kinda slow. Your posts are highly motivating.
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
I'll try to get you on the xda portal. It's an awesome tool and totally deserved. This should boost your thread :)

Edit: they're not interested at the time being unfortunately :(
[About XDA developers] ibCurlyFry:
That makes sense :good:

and yes it only shows once per thread

Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
Version 0.6 contains a major new feature.

New in this version is the option to filter messages by author. By adding &author=.oOOo. to the URL, only messages from that author will be shown in the RSS feed.

You can combine both the author and match parameters. So if you only want to see messages from .oOOo. that contain the word "version" use these URL parameters: &author=.oOOo.&match=version

Special thanks go to hapdaniel, a real Yahoo Pipes Guru, who helped me with a timezone problem. With this change timestamps will be converted correctly during both summer and winter time.

Thanks for the tip. I've rewritten the OP and added a Quickstart section. This will make it a lot easier for users to experiment with the settings. I moved the old technical explanation to the Manual configuration section.
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
Thanks, I love the &author tag!

Another minor feature idea: A tag like &showthread=1 (or similar like &st=1) which would change the links in the rss feed from"showpost" to "showthread" ones.

Example:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35559032

vs.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35559032

The latter will still link directly to your post - but not cut the rest of the thread, just in case someone wants to catch up.
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
I've been thinking about that too. I might even make it the default setting, because you've already read the message itself in the RSS reader. If you click on the link in the RSS feed, you probably want to go to the thread to see the message in context.

Another solution I've been thinking about is adding "Message", "Thread" and "Reply" buttons to each message. Adding a "Thanks" button to each message is not possible because that functionality seems to be protected with a security token.

Ooh... Click! ... Nice ...
[About XDA developers] magicphone:
Is there a way to monitor the possible change in a thread's title by RSS? For example, a date (of latest ROM) changes in the title or the word Unstable is changed to Stable?
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
That's an interesting improvement on the current implementation. What I could do is add the first page of the thread to the list of pages that are converted to RSS. In the RSS feed I currently use the date and time from the original post. If I start using the "last edited" date instead, your RSS reader would probably display the post as unread, every time a post is changed by the author. So every time the first post of a thread is updated (new version number, new instructions, new changelog), it would show up in the RSS feed again.

Parsing the "last edited" date is a bit harder, so I will have to work on this for some time. But you can expect an update somewhere in the next two weeks.
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
Version 0.7 released

Because of some of the changes, you will get a number of duplicate (or even triplicate) messages (max 40) in your RSS reader.

New features in version 0.7:

Messages on the first page of a thread are now always included in the RSS feed

If an author updates a message, it will be included in the RSS feed again with the updated text. This only applies to messages on the first page or the last three pages of a thread

Links in the RSS feed, will now load the full page on XDA so you can see the message in context. Previously you would only see a page with that single message

Messages are sorted by time of last update

The RSS welcome / update message, now has been moved to the end of the RSS feed

The biggest advantage of version 0.7 is that any updates to the first post will now be included in the RSS feed. So if there is a new release or if there are new instructions, you'll get an update in your RSS reader.
[About XDA developers] .oOOo.:
Update: It seems like we're back in business.

Currently when you try to run the RSS feed for XDA threads script, it returns with a 403 Forbidden error:
