[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
From what I understand, calibrating the battery does little to no good; and wiping battery stats should just reset the battery consumption stats. Same thing as a full charge does I believe.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
i believe that is a myth created because people wipe battery stats but don't perform the rest of the steps for calibration.

You are supposed to wipe battery stats when the battery has a full charge.

then you let it completely die.

then you charge it back to 100%

when im doing mine to make the process fast, i just wait till a night where my phone is fully charged, then i go into CWM and wipe the battery stats. then i boot up the phone and open a long movie file (2-3) hours preferably. this will drain your battery fast. I run the movie file and restart it when it ends until the phone dies (dont turn it off at 1% let it die).

this is where the calibration comes in. when your phone is not calibrated right you will notice it sits at 1% for 15-20 minutes even while playing a movie. once the phone dies.

i plug it into the charger and let it charge with the phone OFF, overnight. this will allow it to trickle charge to maximum charge. when you wake up in the morning your phone is fully calibrated. you will notice that it will actually stay at 100% for a few minutes after boot. this means its calibrated properly. (if you have an old battery it might not sit at 100% long, but it should atleast read 100% when the phone is booted. a poorly calibrated battery will read somewhere between 95%-98% after booting up from a full charge.

at least this is my experience with it.

i have done this alot because i used to have to use 3 batteries and calibrate them all. I ended up throwing out one because it was never holding a proper charge and i use my 2nd best battery for backup now and i stick with the one that holds the best charge.

*edit* a side note the one that doesn't hold a charge is because i had the phone in the sun one day and it overheated. overheating is the worst thing for a li-on battery (or most batteries at that).

side note: if battery calibration was a myth then every phone manufacturer wouldn't have warnings about how to perform 1st charge. remember they always tell you, let the phone fully die, then fully charge it while off. They tell you that becuase it is part of properly setting the battery stats.

I am not an expert on all this but i have read a bunch of threads by experts, and the proof is in the pudding... my battery life has steadily increased since i started following that advice.

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

i believe people say calibration doesn't work becuase they wipe their battery stats then they dont let it die properly. This is actually counter productive and tricking your phone into thinking your battery is dead before it is. then people actually get worse batterly life and conclude that wiping stats doesn't do anything. also if you didn't fully charge it would trick your phone into stopping a charge early (because overcharge causes battery damage).

improperly done you would end up with a battery that does not fully charge and tells you its dead before it actually is.

^ not an ideal situation.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I was just putting that out there. I personally have attempted calibrating my battery like you say to do; calibrate on full charge, drain all the way, then fully charge while powered off... I haven't noticed any benefits whatsoever. I've always been able to charge to 100% and I assume that with my chronic ROM flashing and bad charging habits that if it were required, I would have noticed some kind of negative issues by now. CM9/ICS is still better on battery than CM10 or any of its variants could ever dream to be. I got my Nitro in December of '11 and I've been abusing my battery with reckless abandon ever since...
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
...... these batteries are actually supposed to work better over time for a few years and i know cm10 is bad on battery whats your point...
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Lay off the Kronic, man and follow the story. :D But seriously; you were saying that the thought that battery calibration doesn't do anything is only because most people don't follow the proper procedure. I was just pointing out that I abuse my battery to no ends and have only ever calibrated it once or twice using that procedure and have yet to see any ill effects from my rampant disregard for the battery without semi-regular calibrations; and that I never noticed any effect whatsoever from the calibrations. Just carrying on a discussion; or are forums not meant for that?
[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
I would add wipe /system to that list, since we re talking about FULL wipe.

Oh and yea ... wipe battery stats is the least of your concern, i keep reading it doesnt do anything ... also tried doing it manually by removing the battery (its a whole procedure in a post i read) and i didnt see any difference, well obviously it will never affect the way your ROM reacts or works, even for the battery %.
[LG Nitro HD] radhames562:
How i sipe te system?
[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
Depending on what recovery you use:

CWM: Mount and storage > format system (or wipe system, same thing)

TWRP: WIPE > System

*****

So in order, FULL WIPE: Factory reset (wipe data), wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system
[LG Nitro HD] radhames562:
Thank you! I gonna start doing it like this nos on
[LG Nitro HD] arda99:
Even google engineer said that wipe battery stats did nothing at all, however, I do have some luck with battery calibration on other devices, and the difference is noticeable.

P930 seems to be fairly accurate on battery indicator and I haven't done a calibration yet.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
the real question is are google engineer's experts on ni-mh batteries or software developement, that is the question :eek: the guide i read about it was written by a battery expert, while its possible they were just blowing smoke i have a hard time believing it does nothing. What would be more believable is that most batteries don't need calibration if they were properly calibrated on first use. All i know is i had 3 batteries going in and out of my phone for a few months and when i started doing calibration i got 4+ hours of extra battery life. It may have just been because i was swapping batteries that the calibration was messed, my only point was that if a battery does need calibration that is the method i've found that works. if it doesn't need calibration then calibration will do nothing, that is most likely why everyone says it does nothing because MOST batteries don't need calibration as that google engineer probably knows these phones and batteries do a decent job of staying calibrated. but you also can't say calibration is a myth because the facts are every battery manufacturer has a huge warning on how to properly first charge a batter (same thing as calibrate) upon first use of the phone. I would imagine they have these warnings so that people don't need to worry about calibration later. I don't know im not a battery expert, but i do know logic when i see it.

Hello,

I am new to this forum but have been on android for a long time. I upgraded to a siii not too long ago and have been in the market for a new battery door. I was looking for something white with a design hopefully custom but can't find a site or store that sells anything. Amazon and ebay have a few options but tuey are either girly or on weird asisa designs there about 12 tot and all fr to m china. I came across some sites through other forums but the only options seem to be custom cases or skins but no relacement battery door options, not look Iooking for extended bat etc.Ive been looking for a few months but to no avail. An help would be greatly appreciated.

Ive looked around this accesories thread but no dice

Hello fellow xda members!

Im having issues with my soft bricked samsung galaxy s3 AT&T. I tried flashing stock rom after using CM10 nightlies for a while. I totally forgot to fully whipe all data. So i went ahead and tried to flash stock rom using odin. I believe my problem lies in what i did in odin when i was flashing the rom. I followed the HOW TO UNROOT & FACTORY RESET YOUR SGSIII video in the ALL IN ONE NOOBS VIDEO GUIDES post ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728824&highlight=heimdall ). In the video he told me to make sure i have F. Reset Time dissabled before i flash. I think that this might be the problem.

Also as an attempt to fix this issue, i attempted to follow the how-to on fixing a soft brick (which is what i believe is the problem) on this post ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 ). Odin gives me a nice big FAIL when i attempt to flash the VRALEC bootchain. I followed the guide (so far) to the exact letter, and what i should do if i have problems flashing those files.

One more thing i forgot to mention, the only thing that i can do is boot into download mode. I cant boot into recovery T_T.

Thanks in advance!

ps: let me know if there is anything i have missed to help find the solution!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
I rooted my friends GS3 yesterday and he was on Verizon. We had to flash the unlocked VRALEC bootchain. We never do that for AT&T as it's not locked.

Not sure what else I can say, but just make sure you didn't flash anything from the Verizon S3...

EDIT: Yeah man that second thread you linked to is Verizon. They are completely different phones...

Just download the Odin files, put your phone into download mode and make sure you have Samsung USB drivers installed and Windows 7 (mine doesn't work on Win8) and put the odin files into the PDA section and flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonbox:
Thanks brother, i guess i missed that it was Verizon (duh!) i feel stupid. Il try it again, and update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GalaxyMaster:
All you have to do after you flash the stock ROM is go into recovery by powering off the phone and holing the volume up +power + home button and select wipe data/factory reset and it will boot. Hope you didn't do more damage by flashing something from your second link.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
I think he should be Okay because Odin said 'failed'. But I think it would be a good idea to Odin back to stock because that will re-partition your phone and I think it would be better overall to just start fresh.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
happened to me a few times lol

what you do is

get a stock rom for your phone

go to recovery, wipe everything(data, dalvik, cache)

go to download mode

flash stock rom through odin

done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonbox:
You see, that would be a great idea, but i cant get into recovery :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
You don't need recovery for Odin. It will completely wipe your phone for you.

Here is a link to the AT&T Odin file for the latest release.

Oh sorry, i thought you wanted me to get into recovery and wipe data first before i flash?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbradbury:
Don't worry about recovery just Odin back to stock. This process will already wipe everything. After successful flash in Odin if it bootloops, then do a factory reset in stock recovery
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonbox:
Thank you !! Hope this will solve my problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
I never said to go into recovery, somebody else did :) And yes just Odin back to stock. And just like jbradbury said. If you are still getting a bootloop after you Odin to stock, to a factory reset in the samsung 3e recovery. The stock Samsung 3E recovery will be flashed when you Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonbox:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Tarasque174:
Hey guys I didn't see it listed anywhere but I just found on SamMobile that the new Galaxy Tab 3 has been confirmed!! Check it out!!:cool:

New details showed up about the next generation Galaxy tablets by Samsung. The GT-P3200 Galaxy Tab 3 7/8” will run on Android 4.2.1 and uses a 7/8” display with resolution of 800 x 1280. The information came from GLBencmark. According to them the CPU will be between the 200~1500 Mhz and with a Mali-400MP GPU. There is still no confirmation about which screen size Samsung will use, earlier SamMobile reported about the Galaxy Tab 7.0” being dropped. Sadly, the Galaxy Note 8.0 uses the same resolution as the Galaxy Tab 3 and the Galaxy Note 8.0 uses a 8.0” screen.

We expect Samsung to show many tablets at Mobile World Congress end this month.

SamMobile is live in Barcelona and we will make some hands-on with the tablet!

If it supports the LTE band, it will get LTE. If the phone supports DC-HSPA+, it will get DC-HSPA+ if the carrier puts it out. You don't always get DC-HSPA+ just because you upgrade an HSPA+ tower to LTE. But you will likely see better HSPA+ speeds because of the upgraded backhaul.

Go to the play store and download hosts editor and use apps like AdAway for controlling what ads you see.
