This is what I recommend.

I posted here showing a picture of the Onite extended battery I have and had someone comment on it showing that is wasn't fully snapped on to the back cover, well it was. The picture of the Mugen extended case, as provided in the same thread, has the official picture of the GNote2 with the extended case on it and it blatantly shows it not connect. Check out the thread.

I had great success with anker batteries on my note 1. Lasted as long or longer as the stock battery. Still being used by my son after 10 months of use and getting same duration out of them. Just got the qcell 3800mah extended battery for my wife's skyrocket and she has gone over 2 days on it now. Not sure about the lifespan yet as she has only had it for 2 weeks.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sawdoctor:
I bought this of ebay. If you peel the gold sticker off which I did it is just a 3100mah battery underneath
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RojasTKD:
I used the 50% off code listed in the accessories forum to get a battery directly from Samsung for $25. Well spent for piece of mind and two batteries is likely more than I will ever need. Carry one as a spare and rotate them every few days or so.

Not sure of the code is still good.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] marvelspires:
That's a lie, I've had this battery in my n85, it was worse than the original, and was to be much better.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Nate Rules:
I have had great experiences with Hyperion and Qcell batteries. My mom is using my old GS3 and she says that the Qcell extended battery is still lasting her 2 days. There is no way that Mugen is 4 times better than either of those batteries. It does have NFC though. When my gs3 was new, no extended batteries had nfc, but they eventually added it. My guess is, in a month or two, Qcell will add nfc to their case. So if you buy one now and one when they add nfc you will have 2 extended batteries for half the cost of the Mugen. As soon as Hyperion comes out with a case for the extended battery, I am going to buy theirs.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jocelyn:
This^ but you can get the oem battery and the charger/stand for the same price. I just got mine today and its lovely :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LordRalh3:
Im hoping trident makes the Electra case for us like for my last phones. ..high quality extended battery and super rugged case to fit it
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RojasTKD:
True, i forgot abou that. Charger and battery for the sameprice of just the battery.

Also any battery that claims to have much more capacity (3800mAh - 4200mAh or more) in a standard size batter is BS. Everyone dreams of that mythical 5000mAh standard size battery, but it doesn't exist.

Unless I'm going camping for more than 3 days I can't see needing my standard battery with a standard spare.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] stevelynch:
I got this one from Amazon, And I've been super stoked!

(sorry, I'm too new, it stripped my URL)

The brand is Onite, and it was $24.98

it's a 6500 mAh battery, and cover. I've been wailing on wifi and wireless data all day while streaming pandora Non-Stop to my bluetooth beats, and at 10:42 PM, I still have 48% left.

This is the first phone I've had that I can talk with customers all day, and not have to put it back on the charger once.

A full day with heavy usage, and battery to spare at bedtime? Winner in my book!

i am on my way to root it now guys, need help with few questions to remove my confusion. this forum has benn the most helpful for me, i hope i get further answers as well:laugh:

1. what if i root it and dont do anything else , what are its benefits, and will i still get ota

2. if i install a custom ROM , WILL i get ota. and where will be my stock rom and how i can get it back.

3. ehy do ineed to install a custom recovery while rooting.. will it effect my ota and how can i go back to my original recovery. i hope somebody sheds light on all these, as my phone is unlocked and i am waiting for answers to further proceed, thanx

i used jubakuba method to install sdk and pdanet to install driver, it didnot work, it didnot work so i went to samsung website to get latest driver,

what does flashing , reflashing recovery means
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
1. You'll be able to modify system files and have SuperUser permissions.

2. Assuming you only root and install a custom recovery you will be able to OTA. Your stock ROM gone, you can flash a factory image if you need it back.

3. You need a custom recovery so you can flash custom ROMs.

To be honest I don't think you have any business rooting your phone. You obviously have no need to and lack the drive to research on your own. OTA's also appear important to you so that's another reason to just stick to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khuzema9:
thank you so mcuh for all these answers, actually i am searching the net quite thoroughly, but some of these basics i needed to learn.

Rice is hygroscopic and works just fine as a drying agent since you're not drying your phone for a month. better than open air.

gel, not jell
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baconatorXVI:
I got a cracked up screen, i'm really hoping I don't have to fight water damage... (i know how to replace the glass and I plan on doing it sometime sorta soon)

I think I'd prefer cracked screen to water damage if I had to pick.

Way back when I had a little iPod nano that went into the wash with and old Samsung flip phone the phone died but the iPod survived. I had put them in front of a wall heater, basically equivalent to a hair dryer i guess.

just be smart don't get your phone wet

OH any thoughts on Liquipel? http://www.liquipel.com/

sounds like they use a vacuum to coat everything inside.

I'd be interested to try some of NeverWet's product with my vacuum pump

But it sounds like they aren't in production yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jjm3175:
Ok. My wife dropped her two week old GS3 in the toilet and few weeks back. She claims it started making weird noises and the screen was flashing. She turned it off and let it dry out in the sun. A couple of hours later she returned home and I turned it on. There was a green hue to the screen.The touch screen was unresponsive. I turned it off and took out the battery, sd card and sim card. I shook the phone and felt some water come out. We put the phone in a zip lock bag filled with rice and a handful of those little descicant packets. Her idea. We let the phone sit there for around 36 hours. We then turned it back on and everything did and still does work fine.

I doubt the rice or packets actually did anything. I think just giving it time to dry was all that was needed. Just my personal experience.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Saiboogu:
The rice and silica absolutely did something - its the chemical equivalent of vacuuming the moisture out of every nook and cranny. You'll never air dry it as much.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slowfncar:
Silca gel does 999x better then air drying,it even takes the moisture from water spots. Do not air dry please. You will build corrosion from water and oxygen on electronic parts
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gnahc79:
+1

The air in your home has some moisture/humidity already, making air drying much less effective than silica gel or rice.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] juarezlizard:
I Bought my htc one x on ebay and since I started to use it I realized that fails, Suddenly when I playing an application like a game, camera, or others, the phone freezes and begins a series of restarts until I go to the bootloader and shut down, then I need to await 10-20 minutes to enter again to the operating system.

Already tried to install the RUU from HTC page, but its the same thing.

In the bootloader shows:

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

thank you in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tanmaynarang:
Is the bootloader locked?

If so, try to unlock it and try something like CM10 or something else

Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
If you did run the 2.20 ruu successfully and you still have issues might have problem with the phone. Custom rom might help a few things but i never get random reboots or freezes on my evita. Maybe a bad app is running in the background.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mroneeyedboh:
. I noticed that while my phone ( today.. ) was sitting on the desk next to me, the signal drops. Im on 4g no problem , full signal on Eclipse CDMA rom. I have an xt912 model.

Its weird, the signal will drop from blue 4g, to gray full signal no 3g or 4g. Then in about 15 seconds the 4g icon will pop back up. And while it looses the 4g icon, the screen turns on and then turns off once it connects again.

Any idea on whats going on?

[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Title says it all.. I've tried a lot to get it revive it... So I am still within my warranty by like 3 weeks. But I have my eyes on the HTC DNA. I still have unlimited data so I can't really upgrade. What would you guys do??? Get the HTC DNA or stay with the Rezound a little bit longer???

EDIT: Big fan of HTC!
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
id hold onto the rezound for a while. the dna is the first of its breed (in terms of screen res). if youre a die hard htc fan then yes, the dna will be their best phone for a while and you should probably get it new. if not, i would wait around until your contract is up and milk that unlimited data all you can. in the meantime, im sure a better phone than the dna will come out
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
I would of course prefer that you stay with the Rezound - you've done some amazing things for us, and even if you just keep updating what you have, you will do a lot more.

And what did you do? Did you somehow manage to brick with some recovery stuff, or was it something hboot/kernel/whatever-other-code-can-cause-a-brick related?

Or did you just mess up the screen or some other hardware?
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
I am 99.99% positive it's a bad hboot. I've tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833530 but I guess it doesn't like me.

Well if it was me i would go with the DNA. Just me though, if you really want to move to the DNA you can i suppose. We cant really stop you. :p

[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Too bad i have to wait until early 2014 to be able to upgrade. Maybe i could cut a deal with verizon and say ill get rid of my unlimited in exchange for a DNA. :p since we all know how much they hate unlimited data.

I was first having problems with my phone randomly turning off. I could slightly tap the back and it turn off. Tried two batteries thinking lose battery. Wasn't it. Well I then decided to RUU back to OTA and s-on and take it to verizon to get it looked at. Well middle of RUU it turned off and couldn't get my computer to detect it to try the unbrick detect.sh that I mentioned in the 4th post. But my warranty Rezound is coming in mail Tuesday.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirurin:
This, I am *sure*, has been asked before, and answered. In fact I'm fairly sure I already know the answer, at least according to the official reviews... but then XDA people have a habit of changing the "official rules" :)

Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to customise the apps that appear in the pop-up folder, that comes up when you remove the s-pen from the holder.

Im pretty sure you can't, and that its mentioned as such in a review I read before buying the Note a couple days ago. (On ICS at least... I dont know if this has changed for Jellybean?)

But I figured, if anyone has found a way to change this, you guys would have!

I did try searching for the answer in the forums... but my problem was I didnt really know what that pop-up menu/folder thing is actually *called*, which made it difficult. I'm sorry if I missed something obvious!!

Thanks for any help
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirurin:
Should I take that as a no? Or at least a "not yet".
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
No, not the side folder however a lot of apps have been added to the pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen, in the themes section there's a thread with links to apps that have been modified to work in this.

Theres also a thread floating around that tells you how to alter an apk file to make it capable of this. The downside is that since you altered the apk file you can no longer update that particular app without then editing the files in the apk file to once again make it pop-up menu compatible...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirurin:
Yeah I knew about the multiview menu alterations already, its a thread I've been following for a while. I was only asking because, after deleting pen physics, there is a gap in the pen folder I would have liked to make use of.

Too bad :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
If you go into Settings, and select under System, 'Pen', the last option is called 'Options after detaching pen'. You can pick one or more things to show up. Not sure if this is what you mean, but there you go... ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirurin:
Nah, I did know about that one. One of the options in that settings menu is "Open shortcuts toolbar". Thats the toolbar I am talking about.

Problem is, the toolbar has like 5 or 6 default apps in it.. only about 3 of them is any use. It would be nice to be able to change them to apps of my own choosing!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Ah, ok, I know you can choose to have only a few or just one, but as far as I know you can only select or deselect the ones shown. As of right now you can't add any others. I think I read somewhere that possibly with 4.1 or 4.2 that may change. :fingers-crossed:

Hi there. I had an i9100 running RevolutionRemix for a long time. I purchased an i9300 last night. The big mistake i made the first time around was not downloading my stock firmware for the correct region incase i ever wanted to revert.

How can i tell which stock firmware and kernel to download off the xda forums before i start rooting?

Well if you read any threads, many say how.

Flash CWM (clock-work mod) on your phone then boot into recovery mode and do a backup, I believe the S3 tools also have a method.

Hi, I am new to the forum as a member, although i have been on here before browsing. Think its excellent and helped me alot with my old htc.

My phone went completely dead today, for some reason it wouldnt take charge from my car charger. I got home and charged the phone, it switched itself on, but wont get past the HTC ONE splash screen. I have rebooted it several times.... any ideas?
[HTC One S] blackcell1:
is the phone rooted ?

can you access the bootloader or recovery ?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
You going to need to charge it for half hour or more before you want to start messing with stuff.
[HTC One S] s17nj:
Its not rooted, just tried the recorvery option in bootloader, but that just came up with a phone picture with an exclamation mark.

When it stalls, if you hit the power button the bottom keys continually flash. :s

I hope i can get back into this phone as i have alot saved on it!
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Think you going have to reset it but not sure if doing it in bootloader will wipe the SD.
[HTC One S] s17nj:
The phone actually wont switch off, if you hold the power button it restarts it self!
[HTC One S] dc211:
Try the factory reset option. Your data will still be there afterwards you will just have to setup the phone again.

If you haven't rooted the phone or unlocked the bootloader it's best you stop trying to fix it yourself before you blow your warranty. Try the factory reset and if it doesn't work start calling and trying to get a replacement.

Also, all questions go into the Q & A forum.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Hold the power and volume down buttons until the phone turns off and reboots itself into the bootloader. Then factory reset from here.

Factory reset in recovery? Might be worth a try putting one file on the storage and doing a reset through recovery. I doubt it though, since it removes locking and if it didn't wipe out would give access to all your photos and documents.
