[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Actually I think I can say it is an ICS issue. Though I will have to say that I was told roughly the same thing by my store rep 4 weeks ago. And now that 4 weeks, and a hard reset later my new battery is already starting to discharge fast and charge fast again. I did a hard reset the day I got the new battery 4 weeks ago. I did not restore apps only TXT messages. I let the play store app do it's thing and get my phone close to normal as well as sync.

For the first week and a half I was getting 22 hours out of a single charge with 2+ hours screen on time. Charging the phone was taking roughly 4-5 hours from a dead 2% battery.

Today I am getting 12-14 hours with 1 hour screen on and I can go from 2%-99% in about 40 min. Once it gets to 99% the battery hangs there for almost and hour then finally hits 100%. This new battery looks to be going down the same path the old one did in roughly the same amount of time as I was running ICS leaks most of the time. I may just drop back to GB see how the battery goes and what for this new leak of JB to be released. Not sure but something is up.

And to add to it, my last battery would show "charging" or "spikes" in the battery screen, this one is doing that again. I'll attach a pic in a few min.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I also had one of the batteries replaced - for the older phone. Both have been rocking ICS since the spring, only the older battery has failed. Having seen this before on other devices beyond phones I respectfully disagree; if anything this may be a QC issue for these batteries. May be interesting to see if they were used on any other device and see how those are doing as well.

Know that they did push the h/w more with ICS but don't know of any app that tracks battery draw... that would be interesting to see if available.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Also, since you are more than likely running a custom rom the kernel and other factors can create charging issues. Then we have the mystery that has been with us since Gingerbread that every single phone reacts and performs differently under nearly an identical setup. Of course your situation could be a hardware issue as well. No easy way to say for sure except by going back to GB for a while (assuming your battery isn't already defective).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
I agree with both of you guys and even said I don't know but something is up. My concern is that I am out of my warranty so another battery means out of pocket. So whether it is a bad battery from the get go or the ROM I am not going to want to pay for a new battery.

BUT.... I just seen that the new JK23 modem fixes the mute call issue in JB so I am going to ODIN the TAR then the new modem and root it. If I still have battery issues I'll use my 8 bucks a month service plan to get a new phone. But yea this new battery is already starting to go downhill and regardless of the reason it sucks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
TEP will cover battery replacement for free according to Sprint.

Battery warranty through Sammy is apparently 18 months according to recent posts on other threads.

Either way should be able to replace it for low or no cost - low possibly being a cheap hold-over-while-main-is-replaced battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I've always said it was ICS. People don't want to believe tho. Anyways a co-worker at my job got the E4GT about a month and a half ago running ICS already and she told me she's having battery issues and that she's going back to iPhones. I can honestly say since ICS this phone is more prone to over heat than it did back on gingerbread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Best thing I can say is that thankfully it seems JB is coming sooner than later. It is the build ICS should have been and will - for anyone not needing LTE - make the phone honestly as good as a GS3 for 90% of the end user population.

Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I definitely agree with that. Feels like I have a new phone! Should hold me down till I get my Note 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whats77inaname:
I am out of warranty, too, but that didn't make a difference. They didn't ask me for my name, nor any of my account information. I just said, hey, check this out, showed him the battery and the guy said what he said. I was thinking the same thing as you, but I figured they'd replace it for free. Think about the alternative, the interwebs in a conniption about "Samsung SII blows up in some guys pocket, battery may be to blame." Sprint, nor Samsung, would want to deal with that debacle, much less pending class action lawsuits as it repeatedly happened....

Word of advice: check the replacement battery. I watched them cut open the plastic bag containing the single replacement battery, and when the guy gave it to me, I looked it over and noticed the water/moisture indicator was solid red. I pointed it out to the rep, who looked it over in disbelief, saying that had never happened. He then got me another battery that was fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
actually, as a sprint technical consultant, that info is incorrect.

batteries through sprint are covered for 1 year under your manufacturer warranty. TEP in no way covers batteries.

i dont know what samsungs official stance is on battery warranty as it has never been an option for us to really say things like "go back to samsung".

all that being said, at the location i work at, we routinely give batteries at no charge regardless of warranty status or TEP.

i always recommend going into your local (corporate) sprint store and behaving politely and nicely (i never feel like helping the jackasses who come in ranting and raving) and simply asking if they could replace your battery. pizza or hot wings always helps too. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Just passin' on what I got from the local resellers and corp. store in Chi-town NW suburbs. Thanks for clarifying the official position and that it may just be a matter of how you go in and see what they can do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Yep they replaced the battery without question but did look up my info and told me I was out of the 1 year warranty. But I am concerned that now I am starting to see the same behavior with the new battery and am a little worried that they will charge me for another battery. It is not my setup for sure nor any apps as I keep a clean system. If it goes out and they want to charge me then I'll just go another route as there are cheaper bats out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
how often are you charging your battery? are you leaving it in high heat areas?

there are a LOT of factors that can contribute to this issue.

i would also be leary of "cheaper" batteries. stock or oem batteries have built in circuit boards that communicate with the device and software and often times, the "cheaper" batteries are prone to leaving out these failsafes that are built in.

quick basics:

DO:

• Charge when convenient, but don’t forget to charge routinely. Once a day is usually enough. “Thin” phones especially may need to be charged daily.

• Minimize talking while charging. The PA (power amplifier) heats the phone while talking, and the charging also heats the phone. Heat is hard on the battery.

• Bring battery to a charge level of one bar on charging indicator if not used for a long time, not to all three bars (particularly at higher temperatures).

• Store in a cool, dry place, ideally.

• Store extra battery in a cool, dry place with one bar on charging indicator.

Understand that data usage and features such as Bluetooth will require more frequent charging than in the days of voice-only phones.

DON’T:

• “Deep cycle”…run battery all the way down before recharging.

• Keep in hot car.

• Immerse in liquid.

• Freeze.

• Shop for a “miracle charger,” which doesn’t exist for Lithium-ion batteries.

• Buy an extra battery until it will be used.

i'd be happy to send you a replacement battery if it was needed but sadly they frown upon putting explosive materials in the mail...

but if you are in the houston/katy texas area, feel free to drop in.

Got my battery replaced from my Sprint Tech with the same reason. It would be jumping all over the place, and I had tried a data reset.

So far it has been great (except when I switched to FK09 and my battery life plummeted like hell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Li-ion batteries swelling up is caused by heat, period. The heat can be internal or external(come from the device itself or the environment). Now with that being said, the early ICS leaks (up to fh13 when it was finally fixed) had a notification led bug which would prevent the device from being able to go into deep sleep. The SoC would continually poll the led keeping it at or above the lowest frequency above deep sleep(this depends on your kernels settings for max-min) which in turn would cause extra heat from the processor constantly polling every 5-15 mins. Now if the battery was new this would only shorten its lifespan however over time the walls in side the battery that separate the cells degrade from chemical reaction which is exasperated by heat and eventually crack or separate allowing the 2 solid chemicals to come into contact with each other causing the air to expand which has nowhere to go thus expanding its container, the battery's housing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lmao that's what my battery looked like it swelled up on one end towards the contacts. Every time I pulled the back off it would pirouette out like an ungraceful pregnant ballerina

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Experimenting, I wouldn't know half of what I know if I didn't take unnecessary and often dangerous risks just to shut that curious little voice in my head up. I wonder...insert query here...go and attempt what I was wondering, learn something new. I've completely demolished lots of electronics just to see what makes them tick, repeatedly injured, sometimes severely, damn near maimed or killed myself numerous times. All out of curiosity. The old saying "curiosity killed the cat" very true. I've done loads of dumb sh!t I wouldn't recommend trying. Few things come to mind, playing with highly unstable explosive chemicals, heating different batteries to critical failure without a protective shield between me and the blast area, or the worst being really drunk with your friends after buying a new ballistic vest and wondering what it feels like to be shot with a 12ga slug and then handing someone a shotgun and saying "make sure u aim center mass, don't miss the fu©king vest!"

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] milky1112:
I understand. Part of my military job was battery safety. Learned all kinds of thing about them (lith-ion, nicad, sealed lead acid) so I do agree and know what your talkin bout. Also... lithion batts explode nice when shot. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
They explode well when only heated by a hot plate too, about 200°F they begin to split and around 240°F they burst into a nice quick white flash throwing little shards of plastic quite a distance. Even with enough force to go completely thru ballistics gel in the shape of a human head. Don't wanna be talking on the phone when your battery fails :eek:

Hi everyone,

İ'm using motorola xoom us wifi model (mz604) running teameos custom rom android 4.1.2. The problem is that anytime i plug a usb mouse via otg cable, the keyboard is gone (it disappears). I can't activate both keyboard and mouse at the same time.

Is there a way to activate the touch-operated keyboard while a usb mouse is plugged?

Ty!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadlondon:
Been reading up about how T Mobile are switching to the normal GSM frequency to allow 4g internet speeds using international devices.

In practice though, how far are they away from accomplishing this?

I'm debating whether to get the T Mob version of Note 2 or the Intl version (some 100 - 150 cheaper).

Also, on intl. version can they detect tethering or is that only on the domestic version?>

Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Those frequencies are slated to come alive like end of 2013 so it s a good ways off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadlondon:
So if I get intl. version now on T Mobile, it will be restricted to 2G speed?

I thought they had already farmed out a lot of the updated network frequencies in urban areas, etc?

What other disadvantages would there be?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Check out airportal.de which is a crowdsourced tmobile refarm map. For me the two areas im in (sf bay and los angeles) both have some refarm done, but I need the wifi calling and the insurance justifies the extra cost too, though not sure if and when we'll get multiview
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
Get the Tmobile version and be done with it. Don't buy a phone and hope the network will come to you. Refarm or not the 1900 mhz hspa+ footprint is so small it's not worth it.

I recall I had this problem too when using CM 7.2. Try to use different kernel and making sure your max setting for the CPU is not too high. 998Mhtz is enough.

I went back to 7.1 from 7.2 and have no more problems. I have setcpu running Max speed on demand and no issues with it either. I could not stop the problem using 7.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noweakness:
Why can't I install ROMS anymore. I never had a problem installing them. I did a nandroid and tried to install:

Blazer Rom - Jellybean edition: Goes to black screen. I read that you need to reboot a few times after the first install to work but I rebooted about 10+ times with no luck.

Jellybomb 8.0 & 9.0 - Most luck I've had, it goes to "Updating Applications" before going into the ROM but gets stuck.

"Goodness" - installed the JB LJ7 Modem Firmware as described in the installation instruction and then the rom and it goes to a black screen

I am using TWRP which might be the problem? Never had a problem with the non-touch screen version before, but it keeps telling me after I install ROM's that No OS is available and am I sure I want to reboot.

Luckily I can restore my nandroid and go back to this outdated version of Blazer

See how much free space u have on ur phone or SD card.. I had a issue awhile back, where no rom would install.. I kept failing or coming back corrupt.. I noticed that I bearly had any free space.. I free'd up about a gig or so.. and everything worked perfect after that..

I got plenty of space, a few gigs available on both SD and internal. I found these people having the same problem except i've never installed CM on this phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noweakness:
Also if this helps, when I install the ROM it installs super fast...like within 5 seconds or so. Pretty sure my 600MB files take longer to install. That applies for all the ROMs i've tried
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Khilbron:
Sounds like you have corrupted downloads, have you verified the MD5 Sum of the downloaded files. I would also recommend downloading them on your computer, and then transferring them over to your device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noweakness:
Well I think I figured it out. Looks like TWRP was a bad/wrong version. I installed the newest one and Jellybomb appears to be working now. Thanks for the assistance

I also bought the Anker Slimline after doing a lot of research. It looks like if you want a thin charger, you're going to have to get a slower one. The only ones I saw that were 1A or more were pretty thick, and not as portable.

I have the Duracell CEF23, which is a charger for AA/AAAs but also has a USB port and let's you charge devices through that port using batteries you've put inside. I'm going to buy 4 decent rechargeable AAs and use them that way! Its fairly cheap to do that, so you guys should look into it. It's also great on the fly because if it's ever empty, even regular AAs off the shelf will work, or so I'm told. =)
