[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TMPOOLE:
Of course you can charge with a 1amp charger (with battery in phone). I do it all the time. Bought a couple Samsung chargers off ebay. (Old kind that came with older Galaxy Sii and SIII's. 1amp. They work fine to charge. Slower of course, but adequate for the job. I'd want a decent OEM charger and not some of the cheap aftermarket junk that you find all the time.

I use them to maintain and charge when I'm using the Kindle app and reading on my Note2, or just to charge while I'm watching TV with my phone beside me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
1A is so slow if you do anything radio intensive like talk on the phone or download anything the battery will actually drain instead of charge. It doesn't work well for charging while in use, maybe charging overnight, but charge and use and it will never charge and more than likely actually drain. Single usb at 500mA will definitely drain while in use. Charging on a 1A while in use is a terrible idea as it will damage the cells so they won't hold a charge as long and can permanently ruin your battery. You're better off just using the oem charger it came with, than risking damage to your battery. If you look in the manual it states quite clearly not to use any charger besides the 2A due to heightened risk of damage to the device from the constant voltage spikes as the phone draws and then backs off allowing the voltage regulator to continuously engage and disengage. It's similar to standing at the outlet and repeatedly plugging and unplugging the charger.

Quick follow-up: this charger, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875984917, works great. No issues simultaneously charging my Note 2 and my wife's Galaxy 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ppines01:
What's interesting about my note2, if i use the OEM 2A charger, the battery will increase it's charge by about 5% over night (about 8hrs) . I started using another charger (this one a Samsung charger for a bluetooth keyboard) that only outputs .55A at 4.75V - this charges my Note2 just fine...I can go from 20%-100% in about 2 hours.

Any theories on what is going on? Perhaps my battery is just going bad? I've had the phone and battery for about 4 months now.

As far as I can tell, battery life has not changed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] groston:
ppines01 - I am not expert, but:

Are you using the same cable with both chargers? If not, perhaps one of them is bad.

Could be that the OEM charger is out of spec.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] elwood:
I can confirm this. My wife has the s2 with the newer oem charger looks just like the note 2 and s3 chargers, (not the little box plugin). Ive plugged my phone in to hers and actually watched my battery drain while surfing the net. Ive also plugged my phone in to her charger to see how long it took to charge from 1% to 100% woke up in the morning with only 30% charged.

[LG Optimus 3D] Corvus Corax:
Ok, guys. I have a question hopefully some with more experience can answer.

In the file above I made a swap and renamed:

_ExternalSd to sdcard

sdcard to _InternalSD

But I didn't try it out because ICS came out and I lost interest for a bit.

That would, hopefully, make the external SD card the main card and more games could be installed.

Would that swap make any problems? Any downsides of this swap?

[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
I have been trying to try different custom and stock roms for a while now. I keep going to different rom pages only to find the link for them or the radio, or something needed to run the rom is dead, or it takes you some place else and you do not get the md5 info you need to make sure its a good down load. Is their something we can do to help with this matter, or maybe require links be kept up and running or the rom gets pulled or something? Thanks for any help the mods can give on this matter.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Devs move on. We certainly have no way of enforcing a requirement that links stay up; I suppose we could clear out dead links, but that would be another load of work for the mods (we would need to rely heavily on people to report them which few do). We can't just delete the threads, since presumably people might still use and discuss the ROM. Stick to newer ROMs, ones with active threads that float to the first few pages, and you should be fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
//

I do stick to newer threads. I very seldom go past the first page in the developers area. I find radio links dead, and you do a search for the radio and half of them are either dead, or you can not find the md5 info to make sure they are good when you down load them. yea i know it is a load just sucks, couple rom's i would like to try but having trouble finding the radio they say to use. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
heck seems like even though i have an inspire i should just start using the desire area to find the info i need. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Wait, yes, totally use the DHD forums. The recent development all happens there. I rarely check the dev forums in the I4G area; the only recent ones are duplicates of the DHD ones, except aospX, as far as I know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
k will do that then, i thought they had to be in the inspire area to work, but i know recently from what i have seen that is not how it is thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
The two phones are virtually the same. Very careful with radios, but in general they work fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duffmantp:
Not just the devs but the I4G community has moved on, its over 2yrs old. Though a great phone, thats like a dinosaur today. I will be moving on in a few months after my contract is up. Sadly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aybarrap1:
I agree. Devs upgrade and start working on new phones. It is the way of technology in general. I utilized everything I could learn to squeeze out the power and speed of the phone. In the end, I upgraded. I still use this phone on occasion, but it is more out of looking back for fun and what not. I will probably use it to start looking into learning how to develop. I have nothing to lose if I screw it up on this phone so there is no stress.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
yea i can understand about moving on and all just wish their was a way to get radio's for the inspire. I try all the links for the old stuff and nothing works. need a radio bad that will work with my inspire that wont make the person on the other end hear a bad echo. if any one has a good active link to a radio, could you please pm it too me. thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcalpha:
I bought a Nexus One with the infamous broken power button issue, and I am curious what would the effect be if I short the VCC and GND line in the charging port? Has anyone tried that? I am thinking that it will either fry the board or trick the phone to think that it is charging.

The reason I want to do this is because I travel a lot and I might not have access to USB charging if I want to swap the SIM card. I am familiar with the other tricks regarding remapping the trackball_center and I am going to install a version of CWM that doesn't support charging (that way the phone boots when I plug a charging cable).

So long story short... what do you think about attempting to short the micro USB charging/data port?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It won't fool the phone into anything, only ruin your USB socket and potentially fry any device into which you'll plug such phone, forgetting that it's shorted.

For charging detection 5V needs to be applied between VCC and GND - standard VBUS voltage.

Hello guys,

I rooted my One S, with SuperSU v.1.25 by Chainfire.

However I face some issues here

1. Unable to update SuperSU to the latest binary, i tried both by using Normal (wifi) or TWRP (nothing happen).

2. I installed FasterGPS, and had configure my COntinent and Region settings. But everytime I run the apps again, the value that I configured goes back to the initial settings, I cannot write the value permanently into the conf file.

So I plan to install another type of SuperSU, then I tried to uninstall the SuperSU, but fail to do so.

Anyone have any solution for this? how can I solve #1 and #2 problem.

Hi

Yes, am using Stock ROM, and here are the details.

Andriod version: 4.1.1

HTC SDK API level: 4.65

HTC Extension version: HTCExtension_Sense45_5

Build Number: 3.17.303.102 CL148964 release-keys

Browswer ver: WebKit/534.30

First of all, thanks for your help, I manage to install the Easy_InitD_1.1.zip. However the outcome still the same.

For example in FastGPS, it allows me to update my Continent, and Region. But after the reboot, every value goes back to default again.

The 2nd app I use called AdAway, and It also allows me to download the hosts files, but after the reboot everything goes back to the default value.

Any idea how can I permanently write the value in?
[HTC One S] real187:
You can try to install busybox from playstore. Then try updating su.

I have a file with busybox and superuser (but its a different su). I dont know of 2 can exist in same ROM.

I used this always on stock twogether with the initd file.

I can link it. Try busybox first.

So long story short... what do you think about attempting to short the micro USB charging/data port?
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
Not much.

Unless the unit is in USB host mode there will be no voltage on the Vcc line.

Even in USB host mode it should be current limited and do no damage.

Still, I wouldn't do it.

I don't know why you think that shorting it will do something useful.
[Hardware Hacking General] dcalpha:
I actually do not know, thus I asked... just trying to think outside the box about a way to trick the phone to think it is charging short of carrying a portable battery charger with me (which can be problematic on carry-on luggage).
[Hardware Hacking General] dcalpha:
Another idea I am thinking about is building a small flex cable using a conductive ink pen that permanently connect to the phone's battery on one side and a cut down male micro-usb on the other side (to slim it down). Such cable would be small enough to fold under the battery cover and allow it to close.

My question is: Will the ~3.7v be enough to get the phone to start charging? and do you foresee any issues with feeding power from the battery right back into the phone's charge port?
[Hardware Hacking General] mamarget:
I think 3.7 won't be enough. Coz usb giving ~5V. So phone won't charge at smaller voltage.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burning_aces:
Okay guys, so I was wondering, since I dropped my phone the other day and now the touchscreen doesn't work at all.

I took it to a store to get it repaired and they were unable to, so I believe vodafone will replace it for $229

But my phone does do a titanium backup every 2 days at 3am, so I'm going to wait for that to happen before I take it to vodafone.

Anyway, onto the point of this thread, is there anyway to backup the internal memory of the phone?

I have done a CWM backup, but I'm unsure if that backs up the internal sd card?

Could someone confirm whether it does or doesn't, and if not if there is any way to access the internal memory with out using the phone?

Badly in need of help..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
a nandroid (CWM) backup includes the phones storage incl. the internal SD card if I am not wrong.

If you have some kind of USB wire, you could try to connect a USB mouse to your S3 to navigate without the touchscreen btw.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burning_aces:
Yeah?

Awesome, some of my data is backed up then, just missing several important texts.. Definitely regret turning my phone on now.

Is there anyway to access the internal memory with out the phone being on?

the LCD doesn't work anymore :\
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
well a nandroid should return your phone to the status which you had when you did it, that includes usually all data but I might be wrong with my statement for the SDcard based on the following thread or this one. Whereas I think the reference SDcard in those examples would more be equal to our "external SDcard" and not to our "internal SDcard" which is more like an internal storage, but I might be wrong.
