[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
My wife got one of these for everyone in the family for Valentine's day.

She didn't say where or how much but she's a QVC fan so I'm guessing she got it here:

http://www.qvc.com/HALO-2800mAh-Poc...Cellphones-&-Electronics.product.E223301.html

$30 each + S&H, but cheaper if you order several

More info here:

http://stores.halo2cloud.com/-strse-17/Halo-Pocket-Power-2800/Detail.bok

and here:

http://halo2cloud.com/resource/pdf/PocketPower2800UserGuide.pdf

The good things:

When you press a button, an LED lights Green for almost full, blue for half-full, red for almost empty

Delivers 1000 milliAmps while charging phone... should charge it 20-100% in about 1.5 hours.

The bad things:

The usb port on the powerpack is a female USB (just like on your pc).

So when charging your phone from the powerpack, you can use any old cord (which is fine) BUT....

.... when charging the powerpack (from your pc or your normal charger), you need a special female-to-female USB cord. The supplied multi-purpose cord fits the bill, but if you ever lose it, you'll have a hard time finding another. The typical USB cable has male on one end and female on the other. I guess I'll rubber band the cord together with the powerpack so I always have the cord handy when/where I need it.

I previously bought 3 Feipusi batteries for $5 each. That seemed like a good emergency/backup plan to me. A spare battery is actually much smaller and easier to carry around than this power pack plus the cord. I guess this is handier backup plan since you don't have to power down the phone and pull of the back. Also if you want to help out a a buddy with a different style phone, chances are your battery won't fit his phone but this powerpack will work.

I prefer to extend tu life of my phone . I got a 2100mah battery for 7$ on ebay to replace the stock 1750mah . It goes up to 3500mah but at the cost of increasing the phones back cover in size making all phone cases unable to fit. Also i use juice defender and Aeon custom rom makes my infuse around 30+ hours of battery time in normal use. Saves the trouble of switching battery for only a 7$ investement

[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
$7???? went to ebay and they were all $34+ except for one from China that didn't say what it was. I have the OEM and a 3500mah but that extended back is a killer (slippier). Someone suggested a couple of coatings of liquid rubber for the back would work. Haven't gotten to that point and if I can find a battery at the right price like you did, I might never get to that option.

It is a myth that you need to drain a new battery. Modern li-ion batteries do not need this and actually hurts battery life. Do a google search for "drain new battery myth" and you will see many articles on the subject.

After all the research I've done, it seems that any time you let your battery get below 65% or so, you are actually hurting battery life and will have to get a new one sooner than later.

Well this new battery and running Avatar 0n my phone it lasts me from sun up till after sun down every day with lots of use on my breaks at work and beyond. Totally love it. Way better than b4 when it lasted maybe 6 hours

Help! My GTab has been running DRH 5.3 for months and all was well. Today I turn it on and the wifi is greyed out and won't turn on. I've rebooted, reset it through the DRH, wiped the caches, etc. and nothing helps. Bluetooth turns on and off OK.

How can I check if the wifi hardware is being seen by the system? Any other ideas? I've searched and could not find any other references to this.

Thanks for your help.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xl2onald-:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

Kindle 7" HD Fire

7.2.3

I've looked everywhere for a fix to this but can't find anything which helps me. I apologise that my first post is asking for help but I'm really struggling with this at the moment, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Basically, I got my Kindle HD Fire 7" on 7.2.3 firmware and the first thing I wanted to do was root it. I followed different methods which just led to weird system path errors. I was eventually directed to a post on this site which was really well written: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117

I followed this guide to get rid of all the current drivers: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37733595&postcount=361 after I had re-installed the drivers, the first time I plugged the kindle into my laptop.

The driver installation came up with this:

The guide said "Once this driver has been properly installed you will see "Android Composite ADB Interface" under "Kindle Fire" in the Windows Device Manager which is located by Right Hand Mouse Click Computer, Choose Properties, then Devices or Device Manager. Expand the tree. Expand Kindle. This is where you will see "Android Composite ADB Interface".

However when I look at my device manager is just shows this when the kindle is plugged in:

I believe this is where the problem is, although I can transfer files. I don't think the ADB is recognising my Kindle.

I thought, "I may aswell continue with the rest of the guide" however when I ran "KF First Aide" these are the errors I got

Option 15:

Option 16:

When I run the ADB kill/start server device commands:

If anyone could come forward with a solution for this I'd be very thankful.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krsmqn:
The kindle will be shown as kindle.... under nothing. Not under portable devices. My guess would be that the driver is installed incorrectly or it's the wrong driver. Have you tried rolling the driver back?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
This says your adb is connected.

This means adb.exe and fastboot.exe are not in the same directory that the script was run from.

Does that help?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conalt:
I had more luck rooting my kindle using the alternative step instead of using the first aide software.

It is under the heading:

C-2) The next steps are used to Root the Kindle - Alternative Method (Manual Version): in the first post of their thread. Extract the win32 or win64 folder onto your desktop and run the RunMe.bat as admin.

Though soupmagnet's diagnostic is correct so have a look at that first.

Would this be a safe idea it terms of the life of the battery down the road? I also bought a 3rd party car charger.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodian:
I use chargers from various phones. Have used different phone chargers with all my phones. Never had or noticed any problems. I'm sure you will be fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android88:
Yes, it's safe. I'm using an old Samsung charger to charge my Nexus. The charger doesn't really matter IMO.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
When using chargers that don’t come with the device, the only difference it can possibly cause is the rate of charging (how fast your device charges).

Just take a look at the milliamp rating on your charger. The N4 comes with a charger that outputs at 1400ma. I found that if I charged my N4 with a charger made for SE Arc, it takes forever to charge which isn’t a surprise since that charger outputs 750ma.

Don’t worry about using a higher milliamp charger on a device that’s rated to charge at a lower rate. The device will only draw what it needs. I’m not sure what’s the maximum ma the N4 will charge at, but let’s assume it will charge at 1400ma maximum. Even if you use a 2A charger, it will still charge at 1400ma.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _KP:
Even I thot its safe and was using my Nexus 7 charger with the Nexus 4 . everything was fine for a few hours. Then suddenly it froze and the screen started getting weird lines on it .I immediately removed the charger and while the device was rebooting I could notice that the screen had a burn in kinda image on it. It slowly faded away later. Haven't used the Nexus 7 charger since and I've never got the same issue again.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _KP:
I don't think so. Cuz I wasn't even using it. It was just lying there most of the time. I switched on the display and was looking at battery monitor widget to check the charging status and then maybe twitter or something and it just froze. Held down the power button for 10seconds then restarted it.

As a rule of thumb I'd keep then Nexus 4 away from the Nexus 7 charger.

[HTC One X] W0RSCHD:
now GPS Problems again :/

Replaced my LCD (was broken), all worked fine, but this week i needed GPS and i saw that it didn´t work.

I thaught ok, i already had contac Problems, so i soldered 2 wires to the GPS Antenna, but still no GPS Signal :(

Then i thought its Kernel related, so i reinstalled ROM (without Wipe) and the Stock Kernel. (ARHD 19.2) but still no GPS..

I deleted AGPS Data, no GPS also :(((

Now i don´t know what to do, or test now :/

I measured the wires from One X Board to GPS Antenna, all ok, soldered good.

I have no idea what i can do now, but i want really a working GPS :crying:
[HTC One X] W0RSCHD:
no one has such silly problem like me???

How can i test if GPS works properly and its just a AGPS Problem?!?

How can i test GPS Antenna and the Hardware without getting a Sattelite??

The only thing i am sure is that the Antenna has contact to the Board, because i soldered 2 Wires in...

The antenna is is the same concact, so both wires are connected to the one contact antenna, right?

don´t know where the problem is :(

but im sick of searching, all things i thought could be didn´t help till now...

changed base, changed kernel, soldered wires directly to antenna and and and.. now i have no ideas :(
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
Even though you say you are sure you have soldered the wires in correctly, it sounds to me like a hardware issue as opposed to anything else. On my old hd2 my touchscreen broke and I sent it to a repair shop, had it fixed but then a week or so later had no gps, couldn't get it to work no matter what. My guess was that maybe one of the wires had been snipped when they had put the case back, I couldn't prove it without taking the back off, which I wasn't prepared to do. Can you not send it in for repair?

Sent from my HTC ONE X
[HTC One X] W0RSCHD:
if i send it to repair, they only can change motherboard or antenna, right? The price for this will be a new One X i think, so thats not rentable for me. But soldering something in and out should not be a problem for me, but i want to know whats not working, The Antenna i cant Mesure if it works correct or not, right?!? If its a Software Problem, i don´t know what i can do to solve it.

I tested, then after long time, GPS Test showed me 3 Satelites for 1 Second and then again nothing and nothing and nothing... :(

So what would be great, if i can look or do something to be sure its software or hardware related....

I even shortened all wires to let them very short, the are max. 3-4 cm long (Wifi. GPS, and 3G)

So i wired connectors top left, top right and middle down...

But on one side in near of NFC connectors (they are bigger) there are also 2 small connectors, for what are they? Should i wire them too??

Are there any things i can do, like delete some files or reset something, delete cache of definited apps or somewhate else? Reflash Rom with FULL Wipe, also didn´t work :(
[HTC One X] W0RSCHD:
AW: GPS dead?!? No GPS Signal

Is there any manual what connectors to check such are used for GPS? The 2 on the antenna I know, but perhaps there is a flat cable such is not connected good? And where can I buy a new antenna, I didn't find one yet.

yaaaaaaaaay, it finally works :D

after flashing to stock with full wipe, trying other kernel, other baseband, did different soldering tries (with cable, without cable) and nothing helped, i was shortly before to sell the one x (not really, but i was angry about it) and i tried lot of apps and gps.confs.....

resetted x times agps data etc, nothing helped...

then i tried GPS Aids from playstore and tadaaaaaaa -> now GPS works....

if i found it earlier, it would have saved me a lot of nervs and time and angryness ^^
[HTC One X] W0RSCHD:
what files are responsible for GPS? I played around a little bit, but now i have no Satellites again, and i tried all i did before, i tried different gps.confs and different ntp servers, no succes...

what files can i change again the stock ones to test if it works without a full wipe?

is it possible to solder a bridge between the 2 Contacts responsible for GPS on the Board? So that even if one contact has contact to the Antenna, the other one also has... Because the Antenna also is only one Contact, so they are bridged there, or do i understand something wrong?

I'm also having issues with gps.. i get 0 maybe 1 sattallite with gps test.Running ARHD 21.0

I dont want to open my phone (its pain in the a**)

I hope there is a solution for our problem, would be great but at the moment I dont know what we can do. The only think what I didn't test was to flash stock ruu....

Later on i even opened the phone and putted some solder to the contacts for the gps antenna and yet the result is the same. I don't think it's hardware,becouse i would't get any sattalites at all,

but i do get sometimes 1 sattalite (no fix to it though). So gps hardware itself probobly isn't defected, so it must be a software issue of some kind.

The solder I already did, and tried lot of gps apps and installed Rom with full wipe, all doesbt work. I also sometimes get one sat. But only for a second or two then it loose it and then it doesn't find any sat. :(

[HTC One X] TheJoker79:
Looks like I got the same problem, no GPS fix at all since a couple of days.

Before that it kept losing GPS signal and the problem grew worse by the day, but since yesterday my GPS cannot get a fix at all.

I was thinking of a hardware issue as the problem grew over time and it used to work on this rom (miui rd) and the software (apps) haven't changed.

But when using GPS Status (app) it shows GPS signals from 2 or 3 satellites but only no fix... This makes it look more like a software issue.

Any tips?

Ah good, so I don't have a hardware problem. Now if I can only find out what's wrong...

Turned out it was a hardware issue; the flexible pins connecting the GPS to the mainboard weren't connecting properly.

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfH48nbCFE4&feature=youtube_gdata_player explaining how to fix it.

"Just" open the phone, stretch/extend the pins a tiny bit, and close it up again.

This saved my day :)

That's why I did this for all the pop-up connectors.

So you have no GPS whatsoever? Sounds like your GPS antenna could be toast.

You could try ordering a new back cover, it comes with all the antennas I think.

Today i was able to get my first fix !!!

I had a really clear view of the sky and it found 5 sattalites to which it made a fix. So apperently hardware is not broken at all, just the reception is really poor (5 sattalites on clear sky isn't the best).

Still doesn't get a fix in places where old desire gets 10+ sattalites..

Did you change anything that it now finds satellites? Mine finds one, holds it few seconds and lose it. Then it finds a bit later another one and also holds it a few seconds and lose it again. Then it doesn't find any sat. I'm going crazy with this......
