i just cut mines a couple days ago. my technique was to put the zl battery in the phone and on top of just the front otterbox piece. i then then took some measurements from the edge of the front piece to the battery's edge. wrote them down and marked the same distance from the edge on the back piece. i made a couple markings for each side and put on some masking tape to make a straight line by connecting the dots. 3 pieces of tape gave me a good idea of where to cut with my cutting disc from my rotary tool/dremel. my battery wasnt exactly center aligned so i had to cut more of the right side than the left. i couldnt put a piece of tape on the top side because the camera part got in the way and had to eyeball it. big mistake on my part because i sort of overcut. the other sides were cut just right or undercut. so i shaved a little at a time and tested it until it fit right. took a emery board and sanded down the edges to get rid of the extra stuff and washed it to remove the plastic dust particles. sorry, i couldnt really post pics because i only have the phone as the camera and i would need the phone to show how it was done. i can probably draw it for if you still dont get it. my advice is measure twice and cut once or even undercut and work your way to a perfect fit. i am stuck with a 1mm gap on the top part. i need to figure out a way to cover it because it is exposed and rain water can get in. also, if you guys do use the holster, it does fit screen side in, but takes more effort than before. im thinking about shaving some of the bottom holster piece off so itll just slide in easily.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
Cut a little square in the middle. Then cut more and more out until it fits around the battery.

I was just wandering this. It isn't much worst then with the case it comes with though.

Any additional Photos?

I should have my battery in today. I'm hoping to do the Mod tomorrow. Any last minute photos that might help me doing the Mod.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
I'm doing it to another case in 2 days if you want to hold off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hwy28spur:
Did it today and wasn't all that bad. Skin is tight but doable. Looks good too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mionky:
I did the mod yesterday and I don't like it. The buttons don't work well for me. I wish it would work better so I can use the holster.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
My buttons work fine, did you stretch the silicone properly? You can also still hold the holster.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mionky:
I'm not sure what you mean by properly stretching the silicone. I stretched it all the way to the edge. The buttons don't seem to be clicky, like a button. It seems as though the silicone button is kind of going in at an angle so it doesn't move properly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hwy28spur:
Everything installed fine, BUT

Got the battery and installed with an Otterbox. Had no install problems. I did notice a drop in WiFi signal and a drop in data (Cell) signal. I live in a rural area and need all the signal I can get.

The battery is great as far as how long it last, really love that but I just don't accept the decrease in Signal Strength. So I guess I'll be sending it back in the next week.

Anybody interested in an Otterbox already modified for the Zerolemon 7000mah, let me know.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
Yeah unfortunately this battery causes a drop in signal even with stock case. You'll get that case sold at the rate I get pm'd trying to buy mine..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sg300:
Try putting the silicone backing case off the otterbox in boiling water for 10-15 seconds. Take it out ,dry it off quick and stretch over your phone. Works like a charm

I would like to see some pics of the orange partb without the battery in it assembled with phone in it and a pic of the back battery side you cut out... I did this

to mine by using this as a template since I first time attempting it.

I like to attempt it for my 6300 zerolemon. But I did it but using my hyperion 4200 for now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chowming:
I love my OtterBox zerolemon setup. Haven't had it apart for 2 months. I work in a machine shop metal every where but as you can see it stays mostly clean inside.

For the modification I took it to work on a Saturday on the way through to a party ( while using the zerolemon case). Did a sloppy layout and used a deburring pencil (small rotary file).

Popped out the screen protector and used an armor one directly on the screen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Heavy Metal:
HELP!!!

I DID THIS ALL!!!

BUT!!! I cannot get the soft shell over it all :( and when I do it is a chore and the power button will not work.. but when I put back the hyperion 4200 no prob works.. HELP!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
You need to take it off and stretch it as good as you can. Really work it, it isn't easy at first. Once you get it completely on it will (with time) be easier to remove/ put on.

Wow re reading that with my mind in the gutter and...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chowming:
Two of the guys at work have the same case and their outer shell stretched but is loose now. They don't have the zerolemon battery.

It will stretch properly if you help it. Improperly of you don't.

I put the power button side on first pulled on it as carefully as I could then with that side seated. I pulled a little too hard and got it to fit so the volume button felt good (3 our 4 tries and I rubbed it around in my hands to flex it /warm it up. Then tried again).

It's important to in the first week or so to use your thumbs to rub on the back in the direction of the problem corner and then in the direction of the other problem corner pushing more material to that side.

when it stays in put it will form to the new position.

Took a week or two patience and you'll get what you want. after all it is custom and you are customer service and support.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Heavy Metal:
It is working now... While at work I left It in my locked up hot vehicle 9am noon and after work I streched it but did not put it on till I got home... corners were a little loose but now are fine... works great with zerolemon battery...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
I heated mine by just letting it lay in the sun.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rhcp1253:
Volume buttons hard to press, mainly volume down. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
Let it sit in the sun, then take it off and stretch it. When you put it back on make sure to work the edges.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sweeds:
NFC?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
are you asking if the battery has NFC? If so, then yes

if you are asking if the case has NFC? Then no, it's a case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] HypostaticOnion:
I may get a chance to try this coming up soon. I'm getting a used otterbox from eBay, and due to their replacement policy, I'm gonna get a brand new one to replace it with. That said, it looks like its only the front piece that's damaged, so I'm thinking about getting the battery and doing the mod.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
Let us know how it goes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
instead of scamming OtterBox, just buy a new one... they are cheap

It's easy to do, I moddeded my otterbox for the anker 4400. I would consider doing it for those who cannot.

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

@Graviton- I used a razor knife and straight edge to mod my case. It takes about 12 passes to get thru, but it was relatively easy with a new sharp blade, and a little elbow grease. Hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Accessories] umby75:
In a pic posted by chowming in post #73 i see original back cover cut.

Do you install the original back cover modded too?

Doesn't this mod take issues for higher pressure on battery by silicon back cover stretched?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] chowming:
I cut the original phone back cover because I work in a machine shop. I need the protection from tiny metal partials.

I'm now rockin the zero lemon rugged. The modded cover is in a box for now this case didn't seem to like it or need it. Eventually every otter box skin relaxes and falls off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] umby75:
I didn't know the Zerolemon rugged that also you may fit with extended batteries (i assume that is compatible with Anker extended batteries) by factory.

I would have bought it instead the Otterbox to mod..

The cost is no much but for shipping in Europe is about 35Eur!

Here we haven't european sellers...

Hi friends Flyer users,

i am planing to go on Hollidays to Florida - Miami and ofc taking mine Flyer with me lol.

Question is will GPS work (i live in Europe)? I seen some diferent files to be flashed depending on where u live for GPS lock. Cant find the post atm thow.

Also for posible recomendation - any good pre paid sim cards (dont need data plan just talks for me and mine wife so we can easy talk to each other when we are there)

Many thx!

Maybe try the app faster fix. With regards to sim I cant help I am in New York.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
GPS files just allow for faster initial lock. It should work fine without. It might take a minute or 2 to get an initial lock once you first get here (not unusual when you make a big locational change while the GPS is off).

Keep in mind that GPS only supplies latitude, longitude and (approximate) elevation data. Maps, directions, etc. come from a mapping or navigation software (but people sometimes use the term "GPS" interchangeably with map/navigation software, which is confusing). For instance, with Google Maps you will either need to cache the map sections you will be using, or need to have an active data connection to stream the map data. Of course, if you have purchased 3rd party navigation software where the maps are stored on the SD card, then that is not an issue.

Have never used a pre-paid SIM in the states. So my experience is limited to my knowledge of the post-paid accounts (contract) in the US. AT&T and T-Mobile are the major GSM carriers in the US, with a variety of smaller "regional" carriers that typically just purchase bandwidth from AT&T or T-Mobile. I believe AT&T blocks the use tablets as voice call devices (on the cell network, internet call solutions such as Skype work fine), so T-Mobile (or a regional carrier that uses T-Mob's network) may be your best bet. I think T-Mobile supports voice on tablets, but I'm not sure of that.

Of course, your tablet will need to be SIM-unlocked.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stratatak7:
Hi jprednik,

What you're going to want to do is modify your GPS.conf (this can be done with a market app). This file essentially tells the device what GPS maps server to use for faster locks. There are several servers for north america. I would download an app that allows you to switch those servers, or if you're brave enough (it's really not difficult, it's a text file) you can edit the server list yourself. You may want to verify that there are no GPS configuration settings in your build.prop too. You can pull the GPS server settings straight from the US Galaxy nexus system dumps if you want. That will give you the proper address google uses for GPS servers. Hope you enjoy Florida, from a Virginian. :)

Oh and as for prepaid...I think, don't quote me on this, you'll have good luck with StraightTalk wireless. They use AT&T bands, the largest GSM network in the US. Hope this helps!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
As far as I know, AT&T does not allow voice calls on tablets. You might be able to get it to work by modifying build.prop or some other mod. But out of the box, I don't think it will.

Straight Talk gives you the option of picking either the AT&T SIM or a T-Mobile SIM. So Straight Talk may still be a good option. Lots of folks here seem to like the service, with reasonable prices, and widely available at Walmart stores (which are quite common in many places in the US).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Thx for the info.

To sum it up: if i leave mine flyer as it is, ill be able to get GPS lock in States. I ofc have igo app and maps instaled for states. It will onlly take a bit longer to aquire the satelites. I can modify Flyer in order to get faster lock.

Secondly; there are pre paid sim card posibilities (i got some info there r non).

Thats great news, tyvm.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
I'd say that's a pretty good summary. I've taken my Flyer and also my HTC phone (One X) to various locations in Europe and Middle East, and never had any issue with GPS getting a lock, and never flashed any extra files.

Initial GPS lock may take a couple minutes when you first arrive in the US, as I mentioned. Its just the GPS system having trouble resolving what part of the world you are in, if it has changed drastically while the GPS is off. Ensure you have a clear view of a majority of the sky, and just let the GPS do its thing for a few minutes, and you should be fine. Then every time you use the GPS after that, the lock should happen much faster (10-20 sec). Being connected to a WiFi network may also help get that initial lock much faster (not sure if igo can read you location from WiFi networks, but Google Maps will).

Prepaid SIMs are certainly available. But just not as convenient or widespread as other parts of the world. And may also be a bit more expensive than you are used to. Its just the way the telcom industry works in the US. I've been to lots of places in Europe and Asia, where you can just walk up to a telcom vendor in the airport once you arrive. Its not like that in the US. You will have to go to a T-Mobile, or similar cell phone retail location. Or go to a Walmart store, and go to the cell phone department and ask about Straight Talk. Either way is pretty common, just not as widespread as getting a prepaid SIM in some other parts of the world.

Also keep in mind that 2 of the major cell carriers in the US (Sprint and Verizon, as well as a number of smaller "regional" carrier) don't even operate on GSM (they use CDMA), so cell phone stores (and networks) will be useless to you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
T-Mobile doesn't care what device you're using on a pre-paid SIM. You'll even get HSPA speeds depending on the coverage. I have a 3g Flyer on a T-Mobile prepaid SIM and I've not run into anything I cant do that works properly on a regular SIM-based phone. I'm running LeeDroid GB ROM, by the by.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Good info. One thing to note, however: HSPA speeds will only be obtained if the device is compatible with the AWS 3G band; or on the 1900 Mhz band in select markets (since those are the bands that the T-Mobile HSPA network functions on). Otherwise, the OP will only have EDGE speed. But it sounds like he just wants to use it for GSM voice calls, anyway.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Many thx to all. Yes realy voice calls will be priority i am sure ill be able to find some opened wifis in Miami for conection to the data world. And yea gps comes in hqndy when u try to find things. :)

Try a milder UV.

Even -100mV is considered heavy UV so you should stick with values not much higher than that.

Does this apk have to stay in system/app to function properly? When i got root, 1st thing i did was delete the system apks of all the updated apps, play store worked for a while, did some automatic updates and im pretty sure i browsed on it, later i pressed the add small app icon in the multitask menu and when downloading one, it crashed and would continually crash upon opening until i moved the apk back in to system/app, anyone know anything?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
No you can delete it without a problem. You can look at it like a setup.exe file after you installed the program you can delete it. But since it's a system ap it might work different, why delete it in the first place? It barely saves space.

Okay so I was wondering I have a galaxy s2 and right now it's rooted and running CyanogenMod. I'm also overclocking and it's been rooted for about a week now. What is the average battery life for the galaxy s2 because I feel like my battery is going too fast. If I play games in the car for 20 minutes 10 to 15 percent is already gone. Sometimes if I search the web for for 3 minutes I would lose the percent of battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
That sounds about right for me lol, without overclocking. That'll definitely hurt your battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gireeshtty9:
Yes thats an overclocking disadvantage. Turn it back to default i.e 1200 Mhz and try using Sleepy or ondemand governor combined with noop or SIO as i/o scheduler. And find out the background apps like facebook which drain your battery. You'll find much difference. Hope this helps you.
