[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
I recently bought what I thought was an OEM battery from eBay for my Epic 4G touch.

It's a really convincing fake (or at least I think it's fake). The giveaway on this one is the QR code/data matrix next to the serial number.

On the three OEM batteries I have, the decoded barcode starts with GH43, and contains the model number. On the fake one, the QR code is just the serial number.

Thoughts? Could this actually be a real battery, and Samsung changed the way they barcode their batteries? Or, should I try to get my money back on eBay?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Does the battery work? How much did you pay?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
The battery works. I paid $10.29. It also weighs two grams less than my original battery, and the contacts don't line up properly (I can see a black line in the opening for one of the three battery contacts. The typography is almost perfect, but just looks different than the three OEM batteries I have lying around (one from Epic 4g Touch, two from Sprint Galaxy Nexus).

I think I'm going to return the battery and hope that the seller will reimburse my shipping cost.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
I got two batteries from Amazon, an Anker and a oem Samsung, paid similar price and both turned out to be good purchases. Have two epics 14 months old and needed to replace batteries in Dec. So far so good.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
I'm afraid to use a counterfeit battery given that Li-Ion batteries have a small chance of exploding. I also could get a non-OEM one for two or three dollars off of eBay (they're probably crap), so why would I pay extra a "Samsung" branded fake one when it's probably the same?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
You don't know what your getting until you open your package after ups delivers it.

I ordered aftermarket and original so I could compare then. The Samsung battery was identical to my original except it had a different serial number.

All good! :beer:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I got one of those a few months ago but I ordered it knowing it was a fake since it was $3 and not advertised as OEM but had the OEM label. It was an obvious fake on arrival but it worked fine. After a few weeks it definitely got worse life than stock turned so I peeled back the sticker and it was a 1500mah.

Here it is, the crappy label is already wearing off. And here is the info under the crappy label too. I made a thread with better pics a few months ago too. I recently got some EzoPower brand batteries off Amazon and so far so good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Found my old post with more pics of my fake battery when new http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32928599
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
Mine looks just like that, but with the sticker applied well. I'm definitely returning it now especially since it was $10. Thanks for the link to your pictures.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Sure thing. If its a good ebay seller I wouldn't be surprised if they just credit you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I would trust amazon over ebay personally. I don't know if that is justified or not but have heard too many ebay scam and counterfeit stories. I have never been disappointed from any amazon purchase but have on many ebay ones. Ebay is more like going to the swap shop or yard sale than doing business through a business.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cephaus:
Anker batteries work surprisingly good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
I've read they outlast Samsung batteries on countless occasions. I just ordered a two pack with and included charger for 19 bucks off Amazon. Winning!:D

Is this the battery you got: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-SAMSUNG...-Galaxy-S-II-Epic-4G-Touch-D710-/261118779287

seller: bestway268

I just purchased one this morning before reading your post. If it's the same seller, then I'm going to have them cancel my order
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
Yes that exact item.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kchannel9:
Who would waste their time creating a counterfeit $10 per battery scheme, that's really dumb crime, is it even profitable? ::sighs::
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Ummm Chinese battery $2 fake sticker $0.10 sell for $10, so $10 - $2.10 = $7.90 profit per battery. Yeah I'd say its profitable sell 100 batteries you just made $790 profit on a $210 investment. And most likely they arw paying well below $2 ea for bulk orders of batteries.

I like to break stuff! :D

Works just as well if not better than OEM. Love the travel charger it comes with too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
I got my money back, so I decided to take the sticker off. Lo and behold the battery is faker than I thought. It's thinner than a real battery, so they just glue a piece of black plastic to it to make it thicker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] freestyle350z:
Anyone have any info on 4.2 AOSPA for Verizon SG3?:confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
Anyone use /system/bin/radiooptions? It seems to be broken in 4.2 (at least cm10.1). When I run radiooptions 1, the radio shuts off for a split second before coming back on. Conversely, if I go into *#*#INFO#*#* to disable the radio, radiooptions 5 enables it for a split second before shutting back off.

I've been toggling airplane mode + wifi for the most part (voip setup at home..), but I'd like to experiment with shutting down the radio.

radiooptions requires root which is a slight bummer, but understandable.

Can anyone confirm if this is a global 4.2 issue? Any workaround / know how the *#*#INFO#*#* app calls for disabling radio?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tilouis:
I have the exact same problem on a Samsung Galaxy S III mini GT-I8190 with Android 4.1.2.

The moment I use "/system/bin/radiooptions 1", I see the signal stopping with the (/) icon but 2 or 3 second later, the signal restart by itself.

It is like if an application was looping to valid the radio signal.

Hello guys. I have had me N4 for about 3months or so maybe a little longer. I came for the HTC one S. Cracking phone that was.

Anyway my thread may seem a bit pointless it may not. I been playing around with the N4 and still feel I am missing something with it. Either be rooting it or something.

This maybe a hard thread to help me with, but try. I mean I would like to hear how you use your N4. Have you rooted it. Did it make the phone better.

I feel there things I can do more with contacts on my phone. Tips and tricks I am missing.

Any advice. Or help welcome.

The closest I can get you would be transparent. What are you running? If your on TW, I don't think either of those would work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SerkTheTurk:
Is there any way to enable haptic feedback on the 4.2? Like sometimes when you touch icons or Widgets the vibration that you feel. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NATO556:
There should be an option to turn it on or off in your sound settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SerkTheTurk:
There is no setting, on GB at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NATO556:
It is a checkbox. Like this. Go to settings. Then tap sound then scroll down. I have a 4.0 and it has it. I don't know if the 4.2 has it or not, but I do not think that it would not be there because you are on GB because I am aswell. Now that I think of it, are you using a custom rom? If you are that is probably why you might not be able to find it. Since the developer who made your rom might have taken it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SerkTheTurk:
I'm on a stock rom on the 4.2 and all there is, is lock screen sound and screen selection
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NATO556:
Are you on a stock kernel? I am not sure if the kernel has anything to do with it, but it might be possible. Other than that all I can think of is Samsung decided to not include it in the 4.2 for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SerkTheTurk:
Yeah, stock kernel. The 4.2 needs more developers :(

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokeEven:
I have a Nexus 7 with Gamestop's accidental coverage plan. I was wondering if rooting my device would void me of claiming a warranty is anything were to go wrong...? Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniuhl:
I think it does, but if I recall correctly you can revert back in case anything does go wrong. So it would be as if you didn't root it in case you want to return it or something. Don't quote me though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
I think people worry about this unnecessarily. Legally you cannot be denied warranty for something that couldn't have caused the problem. Fer instance if you drop it (and you are covered for that) technically they could not use rooting to deny you coverage.

Also no one at Asus/Google is getting a bonus for finding rooted devices. Do you think Google really care about some fraction of devices that are rooted out of the millions they sell? You would be unlucky to get a Game Stop employee who a) could tell a rooted device, and b) gives a crap.

But reverting is VERY easy.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnustomp:
Though many deny your warranty because you rooted/unlocked bootloader, TECHNICALLY and LEGALLY they can't, because

1) Android doesn't have warranty in the first place.

2) Software warranty has nothing to do with hardware warranty.

So I dirty flash upgraded LiquidSmooth to the latest. I noticed everything went well, I wiped cache/dalvik and booted up. My google contacts were gone along with my whole account. I re-flashed and installed gapps afterwards. Did I do something wrong? Or is this the process usually?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon1357:
Are your. Apps like play store still there? If they are then just re add google account or just reflashed gapps, better safe then sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
I've never used that ROM, but the general answer to your question is no. Only flash gapps when starting from nothing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 996:
It was weird. I booted up without a google account. No google apps or anything. So I just reflashed Gapps. I didn't have the option to add an account for Google.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
That happened to me once or twice. No issues from flashing gapps though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon1357:
did you check under settings? accounts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 996:
Yup. No google option was there. So I went into recovery reflashed the rom and then flashed gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] glacious2k:
I've dirty flashed 3 different ROMs multiple times (usually wipe data), and each time gapps were still there. The only issue I've run into was an older market bug so I re-flashed the latest gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
All wrong answers, always re flash your gapps when flashing an aosp rom regardless if it's a new install or a dirty update. When dirty flashing your gapps should not be there anymore, if they are they are ghost remnants of the old build. Your data for your gapps will remain on a dirty flash so you need not worry about setting things up again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Danno131313:
This. Always reflash gapps after dirty flashing a rom.

I personally clean flash 99% of the time, it prevents so many problems. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BRAiNCHiLD95:
check updater-script

maybe the ROM had a line of script to delete factory data...

Some ROMs have that line in their "updater-script" file...I remember flashing an ICS rom that did that..:/

If yes...then you will have to flash gapps again..Check the file(if possible) before dirty flashing the next time..:good:

But as a thumb-rule...always flash gapps after flashing AOSP/AOKP etc. ROMs..

Hope this helps..Don't forget to hit thanks! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PMamba:
Is it OK to just flash the new GApps without reflashing the ROM or doing anything else?

You may find if you plug it into windows that it wants to format it to exfat. Don't do this as the phone won't read it.

You need to format it to fat32 BUT windows by default won't let you make a 64gb fat32 partition, it keeps wanting to do exfat.

Before I go to sleep, I plug my phone into my charger and hit the sack. After ~1-2 minutes without touching it, my phone's screen lights up mysteriously. It does not unlock or do anything special, the screen just turns on. Not a problem right? Just wait ten 10 seconds and the screen will turn back off? NOPE.

How can I correct this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
Seems to be a little delay between you plugging your charger in and the phone lighting up to show you have put it on charge. As for the screen not going off. Check your sleep setting it maybe a few minutes.

You have to turn on the Developer options to disable this feature.

To do this:

1. Go to settings -> About Phone

2. Scroll down to the bottom where you see "Build Number"

3. Tap the Build Number button 7 times.

This will activate Developer options in your settings. There is an option in there to disable the screen staying on while charging.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
What are you trying to do?

What OS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
if you're trying to update the firmware, or tried and it failed in the past:

Instead of "Emergency Firmware Recovery" under the Tools Tab in Kies, use the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" tool. this gives the option to enter the users model and then SN (not IMEI). after selecting "OK" Kies will begin the Upgrade but then recognize the device needs recovery and will initiate automatically. Be aware that initialization will wipe all personal data as with any firmware change.
