[Atrix 4G Android Development] lehjr:
You could either modify the cable or wire a cigarette lighter outlet to the battery, depends on whether or not you need to be able to use it again after you don't need it for this project anymore.

As for charging the battery, the only case where you wouldn't need a charger to charge the battery would be a UPS. But in that setup, the battery may not last as long enough, since while the device does provide the same functionality, it's meant to provide backup power long enough for you to save your work and shutdown gracefully. What you're looking for is a similar functionality, but with a longer life span, both in number of charge/discharge cycles as well as overall battery life.

And again, you can't use the lapdock to charge the battery because of the battery type differences.

Here's is the Wii car adapter that I'll order http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-SELLER-...t=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item4abcf83406

And would this make it any easier to wire the battery to the cigarette lighter? Like just cut this cord in half (removing the wierd adapter at the end) and connect it to the battery, with the female cigarette lighter connected to the car adapter? http://www.amazon.com/PowerFilm-RA-2-Cigarette-Lighter-Adapter/dp/B001RM9KAQ

If not I have no idea how to do it :silly:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lehjr:
Personally, before paying as much to preserve the adapter as the adapter itself costs, I would just buy a second one and hack up one and keep the other untouched. All you need is a way to connect (and disconnect) the plug to the battery. In the worse case you could probably get away with soldering right to the outside of the plug. There are more elegant ways of doing it, but again, it depends on what's in the plug, whether it's simply just a fuse, or if you have a small PCB (printed circuit board) in there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Drakonas:
I thought I'd put some input on the sensor bar, because I think it is a possibility to have your own "sensor bar" (really just 4 Infrared LEDs) implemented near the top of the screen.

Quoted from here:

Off topic, the candles actually do work quite well. So if you're in a bind not having your sensor bar with you... :)

Anyways, just wanted to let you know it's not as much work as you might think to add sensor bar support to your project. However, I understand that with that small of screen and with the Wii remotes needing to be at least ~4 feet away from the 2 IR LEDs, it'd probably be a bit weird playing a Wii game. But I digress.

A guide for building one can be found here. That webpage also has some alternate ways to build a sensor bar in the "similar posts" section. Some people have also used wax to hold the IR LEDs to a board instead of using solder. xD

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimJ87D:
Hello,

I am from the i9300 forum. My GF has a SGH-i747. When she updated it to official Jelly bean using Kies, all seemed to go well but then when she booted up to her home screen the phone would reboot. It would continuously do this over and over again.

So we had to use KIES to do a complete format of the phone and reboot it. This deleted everything and made it factory brand new again. This is that option where you have to type in your serial number into kies to do the emergency firmware recovery.

Well a few months went by and today while my GF was using her phone it froze and rebooted. It is now stuck in the bootloop. I don't understand why this is happening. She doesn't have the phone rooted nor has she flashed anything on it. I'm not familiar with the SGH-i747 so I'm not sure if this is a common bug that has been addressed for fixed.

Please help, my GF needs her phone for work and she's a few miles away from me. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Might've to get in recovery (hold vol up+home+power), clear cache, reboot.

If that doesn't work, back in recovery and factory reset, then reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimJ87D:
Yeah, I tried all that. I managed to back up her data so maybe we can restore her apps and information later. But this is similar to last time. I had her factory reset it, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, format system and format data.

We then followed by restoring her backup but the problem still persist. I might need to flash the stock ROM.

Could Fix Permissions fix the problem? It seems that the phone boots up to the home screen. While loading files, something at this point is causing it to bootloop. It will freeze after a few seconds and then reboot and repeat the problem.

Something is definitely conflicting within the first 30 seconds of booting up to the home screen. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Debloated stock ROM might be a good idea. When restoring, you might be bringing the problem right back. It should be very minimal (the needed stuff that you can't simply re-download or re-setup) to avoid issues coming back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimJ87D:
I edited my post above about fixing permissions.

But this is very similar to what happen last time. I had wiped factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, format data and system, installed fresh new ROM and that boot looped too.

It took KIES emergency firmware recovery (where you have to type in your serial number) to fix the problem, but everything was deleted even the internal SD card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
I doubt fixing permissions will change much but could try it.

From the way you describe it, it sounds like a app or some bad data. Is she using a external SD? If so, try booting without it. If not, my guess is that there's a rogue app or something corrupted her data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimJ87D:
Thanks. Yes she's using an external SD card. I will have to get a hold of her phone and see what's going on. The first time it happened was because we upgraded to Jellybean. it happened right after so I don't think it was a rogue app. This time she just pulled her phone out of her purse and noticed it boot looping. Something sounds wrong with her phone... I think we might need to send it back for warranty repair.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimJ87D:
Okay I need help. I have discovered the problem and it is the SUPERUSER app. When Superuser was updated it caused my GFs phone a boot loop.

Now that I put fresh rom and cleared everything her phone was working. But the moment I rooted the phone itboddly didn't come with SU, so upon installing SU nothing could access SU for some odd reason. So I found out you need a SU for Jelly Bean, upon installing this version of SU is when everything went to he'll and the same boot loop came back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexandre-P:
What rooting method did you use to root your girlfriend's phone?

If I'm not wrong, most of the rooting method -- if not all -- for the SGH-i747 involve the SuperSU app instead of the Superuser app. And I believe most of the custom ROM, if you switched ROM, come with SuperSU pre-installed. If you try to install Superuser (without removing SuperSU), might that be the cause of your trouble?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimJ87D:
Perhaps, I will try and fix the problem again. We just got back from a movie. Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
if everything doesn't work

here's what you should do

first go look for AT&T 4.1.1 stock rom

download ODIN

go to recovery by vol up + power + home

clear cache, data and dalvik

flash stock rom thru odin.

that should fix soft brick

[Asus Transformer TF700] el_mico:
Hello,

I just bought a TF700 a few days ago. One of the main reasons for purchase is using Google Talk / Video Chat. I updated it to JB as soon as I got it. The first couple of nights, video chat through google talk seemed to work pretty well, a few hang-ups, but not more than a second or so. Last couple of nights, there has been huge problems with it. Large delays, hang ups and freezes for many seconds, disconnects, etc. I ran speedtest, and that looks good ~15Mb download, ~4-5Mb upload, ~25ms ping. I ended up switching to my phone and getting better results through my much slower mobile data connection.

Any ideas? Is this due to the poor I/O performance that I've read about? Is there a solution? Should I return it?

Thanks for any help!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
I just bought my Note 2 last week. Love the huge screen and amazing battery life. After a week on stock Touchwiz ROM's I noticed I rarely used the S-Pen nor S-voice.

So today I jumped on a CM10.1 AOSP ROM and just love it, don't think I'll go back to TW.

That got me thinking, is the Note 2 still great to you if you never use the S-Pen or S-voice like this phone was designed for in the beginning ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
I agree about S-Voice being useless. Google now is far more functional. S-pen on the other hand still kind of works on CM10.1 but i do notice myself missing a few features like the hovering cursor and the screen panning.

But i just bought mine for the power/screen size/battery life. The Samsung's little features aren't really a big deal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Doggydude:
I doubt Samsun expected S-Voice to last. It seems like just a quick competitor for Siri until google figured something out. I bet they will stop putting it on phones once GNow gets the ability to change phone settings like S-Voice can.

As for the stylus, the phone itself isnt built specifically for the stylus, the software is. Maybe google will put some better stylus functionality in, maybe not, but for the time being it is personal preference whether to stick with the stylus enabled touchwiz or go to something else. My previous phone ran cm10, but I find the stylus extremely useful for my usage style so I just made touchwiz as stock as I can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrawer:
I bought the Note2 basically for it's size. However, since I take random notes all the time i think the s-pen features are great and fit my still style of using a smartphone....I prefer scribbling my notes versus typing.

But I agree the N2 is awesome even without the s-pen which stays kinda hidden if you don't need it.

And yes, svoice provides no value to myself with the GNow features.

To each their own of course but for myself I find CM10, etc. ROMS frustrating since there is always something that isn't working right (i.e. microphone, bluetooth, takeyourpick). This has been true on every android phone I've owned the past 2 years. Plus they don't have features that I prefer such as pop-up notes, inscreen video or inscreen browser or multi view.

That's why some of the stock based ROMS with alternate launchers (i.e. Nova, Launcher8, etc.) work great for ME...I find them basically flawless. We got some great dev's.

In fact I have 2 primary devices...Note 2 and ipad mini. And I will be soon replacing the mini with the upcoming Samsung Note 8" primarily because of the attached s-pen.

That I can indeed. But I do not have the time to wait, I need my cellphone, my old Rom and Kernel were really bad and laggy ,needed a new one, and found a recommended one. Since im on a buisness trip, getting a Jig and waiting for setting it up just won't work. Is there no other way? For example getting it on to the pc, booting it up in some way there getting it in DL mode and get the Stock Kernel or something?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Nope. If a jig doesn't work, it's either a JTAG (actually, it may be JTAG'able given it died during a flash), or some kind of hardware repair (maybe replace motherboard).

Not sure what you're expecting anyone here to say to you beyond "Try a jig", etc, etc ? Not like we can scatter some magic pixie dust & your phone will be all better.

If the phone won't boot, you've tried another battery & you have no download/recovery mode, you're toast. Or......maybe try King Rat's trick where he attempts to 'jump start' the phone without the battery using just the charger (search for his username then go thru his posts till you find the method). There's a 0.000000001% chance that might work.

Edit - If you're in the position of 'Your phone just has to work. All the time" (as you appear to be in), flashing anything on your phone is folly. If you really need it, that's the last thing you should be doing given the risks (tho normally small) involved.
