[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bose301s:
A 3100mAh Lithium Ion battery can easily handle a full 2A charge rate. The ideal charge profile for Lithium Ion is a CC/CV profile, starts at constant current between like 3V and 4V, which most LI batters can take a rate of 1C, meaning it can handle a charge rate of 3.1A, recommended charge rate to achieve the most possible charge/discharge cycles is usually 0.2C so for a 3100mAh battery that would be 620mA. Once the charge gets to the correct voltage it gets to constant voltage and charges until termination current usually in the 100mA range. So yes, it can handle a 2A charge no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Hey there. I very much appreciate that breakdown. Makes me wonder why they dropped the amps so much during charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
If this is true (first time I've seen this anywhere), that would line up great with the 650mA max charge rate I found. Also, I downloaded the VZW source, and it doesn't look to significantly different from the N7100 source, at least as far as the charger stuff is concerned, so I would say they both probably have a max charge rate of 650mA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
I appreciate the info and time you both put into this. I guess it means a 2A usb port will be slight overkill. Even changing the charge rate to a higher value seems to indicate a lower battery life. Makes you wonder how apple did it's math for the ipads charge rate. The battery must be huge to accommodate a 1.1A charge rate. Or they are sacrificing battery life for fast charging.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Wont the kernel dictate the charge rate no matter what the charger is rated at?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
If the kernel is set for a charge rate of 650mA (0.650A), then why does the Note 2 have a more powerful 2A wall charger, while the GS3 has a 1A wall charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
The original nook color 7" came with a 2A wall charger and that was 2 years ago... both my note 2 and nook color charge about the same rate (quick to 99% and slow to 100). The charger is probably cheaper to make at 2A rather than anything and plus it could be used to charge future devices. Also if you used a 1A charger to charge the note it

might possibly

get warm/hot from running at near full capacity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Im using my OLD blackberry 700mA wall charger to charge the phone at night while im sleeping. No problems with heat.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
okay guys. i hope there isnt a topic like this anywhere, yet ;) ive searched for a similar topic before making this thread. So, anyway, today i JUST got my SGH-I747m (Canadian Bell) and i must say, its BRILLIANT! It is indeed a smart superphone that is good for lazy people :P.

OH NOTICE: Im not a noob... ive been with the SGS1 for couple months now and ive been flashing ROMs and kernels like crazy, gone into bootloops, gone into yellow triangles, gone into cpu OC/UV freezes, gone into an accidental sdcard formatting :( and other mishaps and stuuff. NOW im here in a completely new place seeing completely new people... I think TkGlitch moved to SGS3 but im not sure if he moved to the international version... anyway, the phone came with ICS preloaded and i had no problems with it at all. I was hyped to update it to jellybean which was a huge problem cause i have been setting up kies for a looooooooooooooooooong time now, such an unstable soft :confused:. I decided to do an OTA update and it went well. I reinstalled my apps and restored its data through titanuim backup and its all very good but one thing i have noticed is that jellybean is kind of slower but smoother than ICS. I notice fps drops when on xda, or facebook or sometimes browser.Its not that bad but its kind of disappointing... PLUS jellybean eats alot of RAM :eek:. I mean i usually had 900mb+ free but now i have like 300mb+ free... Another thing is TouchWiz. God im starting to miss Nexus like UI. I never liked the touchwiz OR the launcher! I am very used to Nexus like UI and Apex Launcher. ANYWAY! I rooted my phone with this thread i found outside of xda where all i needed is to flash cmw recovery and then flash SU and its done! I just froze SuperSU because its an annoying app and downloaded Superuser app and updated the binary. So now guys can you tell me if there is great kernels like Semaphore or Devil for SGS or GREAT roms like CM family or Hellybean or SlimICS or something with a nexus UI? I went to CM site and found a "stable" version of CM10 but im kind of scared of flashing it because recently i found out SGS3 has a flash counter and i dont wanna mess with that thing too much... EVERY OPINION IS A VALUABLE OPINION! :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
just check out the the two dev sections here there are lots of good roms, I've been running the collective aocp rom and its so very sexy!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mymusicathome:
There's also an app called triangle away to reset your counter ;)

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
I know there MIGHT be amazing roms but i cant just flash 24/7 like i used to on SGS cause this baby got a flash counter :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
It says it might brick my device... i have never used anything that deals with bootloaders so im kinda edgy here bro
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ramnex:
The danger of bricking one's device is implicit in every flashing activity, if done safely there is nothing to worry about!

If I helped you, please hit the thanks button!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
Well you know Rom Manager instead of formatting dalvik cache, it formatted my system partition... so i kind of dont trust 3rd party flashing softwares lol but thanks for the heads up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] i386W7:
How safe is triangle away? If you do everything correctly, should everything be fine? Or is there still that chance of bricking? I have 1 flash counts :/ but was too scared to do anything about it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Medlock87:
You only need to reset the flash counter once. Once you have CWM or TWRP for flashing custom ROMs, they don't increase the flash counter at all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wujiku:
triangle away

i've used triangle away multiple times now. it works flawlessly and says to verify your flash count before using it. i've found that it has been correct and now just use it to keep my count at 0. there is nothing to be worried about if you read how to use it first. do not use Rom Manager.. not good for flashing roms. and yes.. it can mess up your device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
I have cwm 6.1.x and it does increase flash counter...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Medlock87:
Once you're IN CWM and use it to do whatever (NANDroid backups, restores, wipes, flashing zips) it definitely does not increase your flash counter.

EDIT: Rooting the device and installing CWM does increase it, but using CWM does not. Hopefully that makes a bit more sense.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
If you root using the no trip method then it never increases the flash counter. I've had mine for about 5 months and have never increased the flash counter.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

No, CWM does not increase the flash counter. Installing CWM via Odin might increase it, but CWM does not. As I stated in the post above, mine still says zero and has never been reset.

Hey guys we all know the stock samsung Jellybean ROM came out awhile ago and i was wondering, do you guys prefer the AOSP version of jellybean or Stock Touchwiz version of jellybean? I tried flashing the Liquid ROM and it got boringgg and tiering. Sammys ROM got more funcionality and a gorgeous UI.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
The official jb update supposedly has a new flash counter, somehow counting either booting into custom recovery or flashing in custom recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
nope it doesnt. i have the 4.1.1 version and i flashed 5+ times but the counter is still at 1 for some reason.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Just what i heard, haven't experienced it myself
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
update your phone then! its OTA :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I'm running the official , kinda :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
me too! the only custom thing i have on my sgs is the kernel :D 1.8GHZ OC made it fast! You should definitely try :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I'm running rooted stock with twrp, but i didn't update the bootloaders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
You know i did an antutu bench and found this weird thing... my device is apparently slower than sgs3...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I don't run benchmark stuff anymore
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
No but isnt this weird? I mean i even tried doing 2.1Ghz OC and bench it and it still wasnt rhe same as the sgs3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goobs408:
Did you change governor/scheduler? They have big impacts on performance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
I was using sio scheduler and smartassv2 governor.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Are you referring to the international S3? Fyi, that one has a quad core beast for a processor while the US variants are dual core. That would explain a lot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
True. It's so sad samsung just can't make one variant of galaxy s3..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goobs408:
I honestly wish we had the quad core instead of the dual. I was dissapointed when I heard the US variants would only get the dual core. Coming off the captivate though, the phone still flies. It would have been nice if there were keyboards that connect via USB for the phone. I mean this thing can handle many different tasks. It beats put some laptops from a few years back with a lighter OS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
That would be too good. You know the international version of gs3 doesn't have a 4G hardware. It runs on good ol 3G has a quad core and only 1Gb of RAM. Judging by the ram consumption of stock JB if we had 1Gb ram we would run out of ram a lot. To weight it the same with the international version. The Americans made a LTE hardware, put 2GB of ram and dual cored it which is OC up to 1.9Ghz. I think this is fair. You don't wanna make a super phone and put a huge price on it. No one would buy it you know what I mean? :)

If so, thoughts and opinions? I've had the LGOG since the 5th of November, and I'm seriously considering selling and grabbing the N4...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Just out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the LGOG?

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
This requires more of an depth response than I currently have time for, I'll post again later tonight. Very quickly, I really like the LGOG, but I just have some niggles that are killing me, and most of them I *think* would be solved on the N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
I haven't tried the LGOG but they are essentially the same internal components except the LGOG has what I hear is a pretty mediocre 13 megapixel camera. I don't like the LGOG design because it's more square-ish and the rounded look of the Nexus 4 is much better but that is a matter of taste. Stock JB could solve some of your problems if they are software related, from what I hear Motorola's and LG's android skins are not very good.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
Havent had the Otimus G but it looks like a very very good phone...But if you switch to the N4 you wont regret it...Development is gonna go crazy for this phone...theres so many Devs that I know that are coming to this phone who are just waiting to get one...this N4 forum is already great with very helpful people and its only gonna get better so if you looking to tweak and rom out...this is the spot...believe me!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
AT&T LGOG has the 8MP cam, as well as an SD slot, and LTE. I thought the AT&T LGOG looked better than the N4, but I haven't held an N4. LG's Android skin is okay. Not as intrusive as Sense, but not as silly as Touchwiz. I never use the stock launcher on a phone, so with the LG you can't notice it much.

I don't have LTE around here, so that's not an issue. Performance wise the AT&T LGOG is superb for the most part. Even with ICS. Its the smoothest/fastest Android device I've used. (I've used a TON, all the big players except the new DNA)

HUGE deal breaker for me is the notification LED on the AT&T LGOG. Its a small ring around the power button. Can't see it. Ever. Also its not multi-colored. Then you put a case on it, even the Belkin bumper, and its completely covered up. Gone.

My WiFi performance is horrible. The range seems very short, and it never wants to automatically connect. Not just my home network, but several others. Then when I manually try to do something, it usually gets stuck in a half off/half on state, and I have to reboot. This could be a software issue that could very easily get fixed in the future.

A lot of us are having insane battery issues. Myself, if I'm SUPER lucky, I get 10hrs. Android OS is always at the top, by far. The screen isn't ever at the top no matter how much you use it. Some are saying its a 3G fast dormancy issue. I've got LTE disabled. I'm also running a no bloat ROM, with a kernel that's under-volted. Again, software issues that are probably going to be fixed eventually.

Which brings me to my last issue. Dev support. The bootloader is unlocked, and that's awesome. If you look in the dev section, we have ONE rom. If you look in the Original dev section, we have ONE kernel. I have no idea if the AT&T version is going to take off or not, but its off to the slowest start I've ever seen on a new device of this caliber. Also I'm missing JB. I'm really REALLY missing AOKP. Some of the best times I ever had on an Android device was my GNex w/AOKP.

So this is where I'm at. Give up a better looking phone (yes yes, debatable) LTE, (which I don't have anyway) and the SD slot, to gain a MUCH better notification LED, JB 4.2, WAY WAY more dev support, and obviously faster updates. (I've had Nexus phones before, hell I still have an N1)

Thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
Very good post Boosted...so are you considering switching since you love AOKP???...we got it here and I read that is pretty good...Im running PA7 with is awesome...very smooth and stable...

very good scores...seems like the same as the N4...their pretty much the same phone or very close...I guess your comfortable with the phone the scrores shows its a keeper or If you wanna go flash crazy...come join us over here lol...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
Design is a matter of taste, agree there.

I gave up LTE. I had 15-20 Mbps and now I have 3-7 Mbps. I only notice the difference when I try to download big files. I can barely notice the difference when I watch HD videos. My brother has a Nexus 4 on T-mobile and he averages 15-20 Mbps. I am in San Diego BTW.

I got the 8GB version and I don't need more than that. I carry an iPhone 3G as a PMP and I just got a $50 HTC One V that I am switching to. I am trying to move my Music and Videos to the cloud but the slower data is a little bump in the road.

I think LG HAD to make a top of the line phone for AT&T so they came out with the LGOG but knew that it wasn't going to sell too well. I still haven't seen an add for one. I am pretty sure that the average consumer does not go into the store with the knowledge of the LGOG even existing.

The Nexus 4 is probably going to be one of the top 3 phones with dev support, probably only behind the GS3. Since the LGOG from AT&T doesn't even seem to be the same version from other GSM version you can bet there's going to be a VERY small dev support.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
They are identical hardware, sans LTE. But in the very beginning the N4 was having throttling issues and low benches for all the reviewers. Not that benches mean anything for real word usage. How's it feel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
Someone said that benches were probably not optimized for the hardware and 4.2, haven't tried myself or seen any new benches.

I like it. The device feels solid. I never owned a Gnex but it felt plasticy just like most Samsung device including my old Note. I am really not concerned about the glass but I take REALLY good care of all my devices. I like the design. I always put a case on my phones but I like this design too much to cover it up so I just got screen protectors for the front and back. I hear people saying it scratches if you put it on a counter but then again doesn't all glass scratch? The software is fast, smooth, snappy, etc... It's stock, it's great. I haven't even found a reason to install a different ROM.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
Device feels very great...super fast...no lag at all...Im very happy I decided to go for the N4...I have no complaints at all...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
I'm gettting about 6mbps down with the LGOG. As long as the N4 gets close to that, I'm fine. I'm on WiFi most of the day.

You haven't seen the commercial with the guy making the action scene in a movie w/the AT&T LGOG? I've seen it several times. But, NO one around me knows about the LGOG, the SGSIII is the big one right now. ( I had the international version on launch day, great phone) I get asked all the time "why did you get of your SGSIII???" as they look at me like a befuddled puppy.

I would think the N4 should be THE top dev phone, its a Nexus after all? (phone for devs) The GNex dev section was nuts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
Yeah, I stopped using cases awhile back, and started using Ghost Armor. But with this phone I didn't wanna cover it up, so it got nothing. Then I found the Belkin bumper case, and tried that. Not bad, but I wouldn't do it again. Personally I like the glass. Gives it a spiffier, heavier feel. But then again I liked the thin light feel of the SGS2, Gnex, and SGS3. I'm not real picky about style/feel. Although I can't stand HTC's layout. The power button on top makes me want to throw the phone. (I did like the One X though, other than the power button and Sense)

I am however a flash/customization-aholic. I was really banking on the AT&T LGOG dev support taking off more than it has.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
I am a big smart phone fan in general but even I didn't know about the LGOG until people started saying that the Nexus 4 was going to be pretty much the same thing as the LGOG. Maybe I did hear about it but I didn't care, I wasn't too happy when I heard LG was making the next Nexus device. LG is just not too good at marketing their products and making customers even consider getting an LG product. If you don't get LTE in your area then I think the Nexus 4 is a no brainer. You may even get faster speeds on HSPA+, some people get about 10-15 Mbps on their Nexus 4. I am in an LTE market so I am screwed, AT&T is not going to develop their HSPA+ network anymore here.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
Yeah I'm leaning towards getting the N4. I wish someone who's had both could post. The LED and JB w/dev support alone is enough to convert me. LTE is useless, and I will slightly miss the SD slot.

Any WiFi or battery issues?

I see you can actually order one now, but its 6-7 weeks out!! It will be old news by then! :eek:

This is outdated. Starting with the Optimistic G, LG's skin is now in "Not Awful, But Bulky" territory, and Motorola's skin is actually quite good (starting with the Atrix HD and other ICS-based devices), and provides some genuine functional improvement on AOSP without any real downsides.

There is a very vocal minority with screen bleed, battery and wifi issues so things could still be luck of the draw for you.
