Where can I find the original Samsung battery? Directly from Samsung is my only option? (Verizon battery). I am have been trying to look around (ebay, amazon) but I have no idea if their batteries are real or not... Any way I can tell?

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
From Verizon just walk into the store or call them.

It seems that Dealextreme provides large amount of battery here: http://dx.com/s/galaxy+battery .

I get to know it when i was looking for a battery for my phone. It fits perfectly and wont cause problem expect exploding but thats fine.

I was thinking we could have a thread where people posted if they had accidentally ordered an extra Nexus 4 8gb, 16gb, or case and could let people know they were interested in passing it along to some of us less fortunate forum goers for a reasonable price.

I was fortunate enough to get an 8gb nexus 4, but alas no bumper case, so if anyone accidentally ordered an extra please PM me and I'll gladly paypal $25 for it.
[Nexus 4 General] klinneth:
2 extra 8gb Nexus 4

I was trying for 2 of the 8GB Nexus 4. Amidst the server error mess, I think my attempts at ordering were processed twice so I might be getting a total of 4.

I'd be willing to keep the last two and sell them here. PM me with offers.

Mine didn't clear the second time insufficent funds. Also people can call Google and cancel the second order.

The service to process orders was slow with so many users ordering at the same time.

Think of it like black friday. Everyone is rushing to order and stopped the system. We ran right over each other. Just keep ordering the system is

got stampeded by use greedy Americans. Google wasn't ready for this.

They didn't know how many people have been wanting out of there contracts. This is just reflecting how us Americans feel about contracts and over priced cell phone bills.

Why pay 120 a month for a cell phone bill. I can just use Simple mobile or Straight Talk and pay 55 buck for unlimited internet and phone calls.

Google is going to learn how bad people want out of there contracts.

[Nexus 4 General] PMentior:
I tried to cancel right after I got the order emails. Got nothing about the cancel. Tried again later and said I can't cancel now. I called and they said that the cancel window is 1 hour. After that the only option is to refuse the shipment.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldt:
I have lower screen sensitivity in the bottom right corner where the letter L is and the Enter is. Sometimes it will take tree taps to get the letter l to show up on the screen while for everything else it works with barely touching it. Do you guys have this as well? Some people have reported this as well.

The weird thing is that when drawing, that part of the screen works just fine with finger or the s pen, its only noticeable when pressing...

Does anyone know how to calibrate the screen? It was in the setting before but now i can't find it.

Anyone else want to remove their screen protector?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanDroidian:
Yeah, same with mine, the letter "K" on my screen.

I think it's a defect.

Removing the screen protector obviously makes it MORE sensitive, but I still think it is a defect and had nothing to do with the screen protectors...

No problems with screen sensitivity here, no screen protector here!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsteel3000:
I also had that same problem. When i would continuously tap the L button it would just stop responding but if i go the S pen out and started to tap it with the pen it would work fine. I took it to the shop I got if from and they replaced it with one where the S pen wouldnt work properly on the bottom right side of the screen so they replaced it yet again and now i have a phone that is fine all except the notification LED is not as bright as all other note 2's i compare it with........Must say i love the phone but Samsung NEED to be more consistent with their quality control of their phones

Me too. My device different is when i swipe in portrait keyboard swipe works fine in my l and enter. Samsung must solve.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikimono:
Hi guys. Same problem here.

I've noticed a lack of responsiveness on the right bottom part of the Capacitive screen on my Note II. This happes randomly when I tap on the "Menu" icon or when texting on the "Enter", "L" or "Delete" button. As said, you tap but the Note doesn't recognize the touch. It's a mess specially when writting.

Is it then a hard or soft problem? Shall it be solved with any future update or I should go and return my Note?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szymon247:
Ok, we know that the 1080p recording is capped at 30fps. However, the Sony sensor is capable of recording 30fps at 1080P AND 60fps at 720P.

Considering the fact that I usually prefer shooting in 720P (can achieve better quality for the same bandwidth and/or smaller file size) is the Nexus 4 capable of capturing video in 720P at 60fps?

I'm also curious. A dream of mine is a true high quality video recorder. I mean my note ain't too bad but I guess just feel like it could be better. Cannot wait to find out!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevenSe7enSeven:
Is it capable? Yes

Will it record at 60fps? I doubt it. It was shown recording 1080p around 22fps instead of 30. I'm thinking 720p will record at 30fps constantly
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
The 22 fps limit on 1080p recording was apparently a prerelease issue. As I understand the Anandtech full review, that limitation was removed in the release version of the software and their review unit was doing 30 fps at 1080p.

I am curious about the possibility of 60 fps at 720p, though.

Here you are: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/6440/Screen%20Shot%202012-11-11%20at%203.38.56%20PM.png
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szymon247:
This is the specification for the Sony sensor. That is also exactly why I asked - the question now is whether the LG module, the LG implementation and Google camera software allow it to really choose that option and really record in 60fps at 720P.

Yeah, Anandtech mentioned that an update fixed the 1080P recording so it doesn't skip frames anymore, which was an issue. It's not clear whether it records at 22fps or 30fps. However it would be nice to record at a higher framerate at 720P, it would offer potentially superior quality videos to 1080P at 22/30 fps (at least for motion). Especially since the sensor theoretically allows higher bandwidth for 720P recording - it would be counterintuitive to offer higher visual quality (apart from the pixel count) at 720P than 1080P, but according to the sensor specs it would be very possible - I'm just wondering if LG and Google decided to go this way and added a nice setting for high quality 720P recording that is technically possible from the hardware side here.

So per default, I'd guess you are limited to 30fps. However with a quick edit you should be able to get 12Mbps instead of 8Mbps.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

Just checked on the LG Optimus G, and there the maxBitRate="20000000". However maxFrameRate="30" as well. So there might be some room for improvement ... on the downside, the LG Optimus G encodes 1080p with 8Mbps.

Try deleting the current alarms in the stock app and create new ones. When choosing the alarm sound, you should see in the list any sound file in the /Alarm folder of the internal SD memory. I think when you flash a new firmware the alarms are restored from the Google account but you can't change the alarm sound in those, so you have to delete them and create new ones from scratch.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
So I got a slightly pre-used S3 T999 on eBay (decent deal at $435).

I cut my regular SIM card to fit in micro SIM slot (said card was from my T369, worked fine in temp/lent Galaxy Exhibit 4G). Cut card isn't being read....... ok fine... except, card won't eject....

Grab tiny tweezers to get card out......card comes out..... so does tiny sliver of gold connection piece...(tried to get a photo but it's really difficult with the angle).

Awaiting arrival of proper micro SIM.

If I need to though, I found Sim Card replacement modules are sold. However pretty much all I've found list being for the i9300. Are the modules interchangeable? If not, where can I find one compatible for the T999?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I couldnt help but cringe when i read this :P

But yes the i9300 sim module will work with the T999. Good luck in taking it apart! :P Better you than me ^-^
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Hah, I was overcome with a very sick feeling when not only the card appeared stuck, but when the sliver of gold came out with it...x_x

Thanks for the confirmation on the compatibility, hopefully it won't come to it but I'm confident in my taking apart and putting back together skills (I think the issue with the card was that I was far too tired to be doing it then... but NEW PHONE MUST DO NOW! came over me).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Well the micro SIM came yesterday. I inserted it into the s3, and it read it (had yet to activate it).

Today, I activated the new card and.... the s3 continues to request that I insert a sim card. I waited the 2hr period of time for things to transfer, and soon enough the card in the Galaxy Exhibit 4G, was no longer working. But the new card still wasn't being read. I tried to use the new card in the Galaxy Exhibit 4G.... and...given a few moments,......and that worked. Even got text notifications from T-Mobile that "The SIM card for ***-***-**** has been updated.

Based upon that... looks like I'll need that replacement module (why it recognized the card before... I have no idea).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Tedious things such as micro connectors and small slivers of metal can be very touchy. So the prong prolly sat at the right place for it to make contact. Then once removed, the pin moved causing it to no longer make contact.

I havent had my S3 apart due to me still having warranty, or else id give you a hand. I had my S2 apart and the module seems simple enough to replace. I dont see a huge difference would be made within a year of how they work in each phone. I am sure there are some youtube vids or pics of someone doing it :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Yeah, I more than likely got "lucky" that first try... At least I know what the issue is. It's not the phone, and it's not the card... just the connectors which I so lovingly screwed up. :silly:

Yes, I reviewed a video on how to replace it and given that I've worked on electronics with teeny-tiny parts before I'm confident this shouldn't take too much time. Just bought a replacement part for $7 (could have gone cheaper, but delivery would take longer from Hong Kong... so I went for the auction in the state next to me) and hope to get it by Saturday... or Tuesday given the ETA.

Once it's replaced, I'll post an update on the status of it working (or not...).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
I seem to have run into a slight snag.... the sim/sd card casing isn't held in place like the vids show....(and by "vids" I mean ... well I can't link them but "Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 Disassembly & Assembly - Drop Test Repair" and/or "Samsung Galaxy S3 Dis-Assembly Replacing Sim / SD Card Module SIII GT-i9300" on youtube).

*edit*

So I removed the actual holder from the metal part. There was some double-sided tape (none the likes I've ever seen before...please let me know if there's some similar tape!), which got a bit messed up (as I had no idea it was there) upon removal (which I pried it off gently with a micro-flathead screwdriver), but I managed to fix it up as best I could (thin portions wouldn't untangle/smooth). I placed the new holder upon it, but saw it wasn't going to stay put (inserting the sim card to test was enough to almost push it right off, and would have if not for the connector ribbon!).... so some bits of electrical tape are keeping things as secure as possible.

Phone appears to finally be able to function as a phone! :good:

Why didn't you just go into a T-Mobile store and get a new micro SD card? I mean that seemed like the sensible thing to do. I was in your shoes and needing a new SIM card and they gave me one for free when I went into the T-Mobile store near my place of work. I just had to manually enter my contacts was the only hang up. No big deal though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shdw03:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
I used the card-cutting method because I wanted the $30 100 min/5Gb plan and it seemed like the easiest way. Ordered a sticker template for $1 on-line and cut it out - worked great, SIM pops in and out like normal, no problems.

As for a more secure tape/glue, my first concern would be if the original was intended to disperse heat and if so, how important is that feature to the phone's operation ?

If that wasn't a huge issue, I'd look at 3M double-sided film tape or even very careful, very tiny dobs of E6000 (I like it because it's pretty secure and still generally peels off easily if necessary) - concern here is making sure you don't use so much that it oozes everywhere and into something important - best to apply to the card holder, spread it out and let dry a bit, then stick the two together.

Making hardware work certainly is a feeling of accomplishment - it's like "yeah, look, I did that" - kind of like a kid, except a lot less expensive and you can't go to jail if you brick it.
