Flashed it before the update, and somehow there i had no software keyboard at all, so i flashed the CM9 again...BUT i kept the launcher xD

This launcher is just different from the others, still fast and i kinda loved it from the beginning :D

Will flash the updated version somewhen next week (also got the download issue...only worked with firefox on the PC, ob my phone i downloaded a 2mb file...a bit small for a whole ROM^^)

I used Firefox mobile and it downloaded it... So this infamous launcher... I'm guessing I gotta back it up with titanium to get it huh
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I appreciate the reminder. I'm thinking I mentioned that though as maybe #3 or 4 in the OP. It'll have to be reset after every boot too...or at least that's how mine's reacting.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Yep, i backed it up with titanium to get it :)

Will download it next week via PC anyway...but nice to hear that it also works on mobile too

hello everyone

first i'm sorry for my english but i will do my best

i'v got a problem with my Z since yesterday

i'v tried to root my Z without unlocking the bootloader with Bin4ry and it works very well

then i decided to unlock the bootloader so i do that and it works very well

after that i flashed the Z_DoomLord V2 custom kernel

and try to install a custom rom

but the CVM keep saying : E: Can't mount /sdcard/

and don't wipe the dalvik Catch too

so i put the custom rom on my ext_SD and install it and it was ok

but every time i shut the phone down and turn it on again the setup wizard backs and my all settings resets and i should do that every single time .

when i connect the phone to pc my computer shows the internal storage as unknown drive with 0 bytes of capacity .

please help me :(

edit : today i tried to flash a stock rom via Flashtools

i downloaded the uk FTF rom

then try to flash it

but the Flashtools stuck on Flashing Data and nothing happens more :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] exzibit7:
Hey guys, I'm from India(Mumbai) and I wanted to buy the Protective Shell White case made by Roxfit(attached a video below). But I couldn't find it anywhere online that shipped in India at an affordable price. I could only find it on clove.co.uk, but the price there including the shipping is £17.03/1400 INR which is just too high for a case.

So does anyone here know of any other site which sells it at an affordable price, or has anyone bought this case directly from any shop in Mumbai?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :cowboy:

I picked up a 7960mah battery today it was only 50 % so I won't know how long it lasts until tomorrow will give it a full charge overnight it is big but the back case is better looking then the one I had on the original note, I actually did pretty good today for $60 I got this extended battery an otter box commuter case a samsung flip case and a samsung desktop dock not bad
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:

These were all off kijiji there are no links tomorrow I am getting a back case modified for wireless charging and the charging dock so enough accessories for this weekend
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
what's is kijiji? sorry, if its something you don't want to mention in the forum, you can PM me. I'm curious about that 8000 mAh battery. What size, double in height of original one? What brand? Can you confirm it's true capacity by peeling the label off? Pictures? Physically it can't be more than 6400 mAh if its double of OEM height, or more than 3200 mAh if its original OEM size. Really curious about the battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] golfinggino:
it is probably just a chinese copy - just google it - i did a quick search and found someone who got 11 hours screen on time with one of the same size so i thought i would give it a shot, paid $20 for it - might not even be worth that but who knows always can use it as an emergency back up battery - but i will do a test tomorrow from 100% and report back the screen on time
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
There seem to be a dozen or so out there. I would love to see reviews of any of the batteries listed below. I know from the work I did in this thread....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1753726

...that Chinese batteries are very hit or miss, and there is often absolutely no correlation between the claimed capacity, and the true capacity.

The blunt reality, is that an extended capacity battery could have less capacity than the OEM cell. There were lots of cells tested in the thread above, that had under half the capacity of an OEM. It would be a shame to bulk up our phones with a double-thick battery, only to have less capacity than the OEM cell. So, any reviews out there?

(I'm not against doing another true-capacity battery shootout, this time for extended capacity Note II packs)

you are right it might be even less the the oem battery, i will run it from 100% tomorrow and post my results and some pics of the battery if anyone is interested, btw i am currently running the latest liquid smooth rom and soapkernel with pegasusq governor up to 1.92 ghz, i normally get around 5 to 6 hours screen on time under normal use, sleep is set to 1 minute, nfc is off, location services is on even though i dont really use it, brightness is on auto to the lowest setting - which is fine for me most of the time, i would say if it doesnt get 9 hours screen on time then it is not really worth it other then a spare back up battery for emergencys as it is quite bulky

My hat goes off to you!!!! Being a technical/detailed person myself, I absolutely enjoyed that write-up you have done for HTC Sensation. If you can do something like this for Note 2, that would be AWESOME!!!! As a matter of fact, I will let you borrow my Innocell (Seidio) 4500 mAh battery and another 4200 mAh "Gold" which I supposed to get in a few weeks. I don't have any hardware setup to make exact measurements, was just doing relative comparison when I was testing Innocell (check out link in my signature to all my accessory reviews).

Btw, do you mind posting a short write up with a few pictures of your setup to measure batteries? Maybe link to where I can get the equipment as well? I would really appreciate that!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
That's a very kind offer!

I'm in Canada though, and one of the realities is that shipping to and from (mostly from) Canada, gets pretty pricey. I thought about doing this with batteries before (so that people could send me their cells for testing), but when I did the math, I realized that for less than the price of two-way shipping, I could just buy a new cell. It's unbelievable, but I can buy a cell from China, shipped to Canada, for a total price (including shipping) that is less than just the postage would cost me to re-mail the same cell to my next-door neighbor.

Maybe for the time being, we could at least collect a few recommendations. I've got a couple cells en-route already. I don't have a ton of cash to outlay on cells for a massive battery shoot-out, but I could certainly buy a couple. Any recommendations?

My setup -

I use a VA Meter that came from a Chinese gadget site. Out of the box, it is wired to pull its own power from the battery you're testing. The unit can be modified (and I have done so) to take an external 5V supply instead, the benefit being that once the cell dies, the measurement unit itself doesn't loose power. I've run discharges of several cells through this meter, and into a proper hobby charger (set to discharge) in order to verify that the inexpensive VA Meter (it was under $15) is actually accurate. It is. The measurements were within 1% of the proper hobby charger. The reason I don't use the proper hobby charger for measuring smartphone batteries, is that smartphone batteries discharge down to 2.5V before their protection kicks in. Hobby chargers (or at least mine) dislike that practice, and end the discharge cycle at 3V. The setup above, allows me to test all the way down to 2.5V before the battery's protection kicks in.

The funky looking thing with a fan is the test load. It's very much "overkill" for this type of testing, but I use the same setup to test up to 16V @ 2A packs, and that creates heat that needs to be dissipated actively. The circuit you see on the test load is a boost/buck circuit that does nothing other than supply the constant 12V to the fan, regardless of what voltage input it receives. Inside the test load, there are two 50W axial mount resistors, of different resistances, that I can selectively choose to discharge into, depending on what I'm testing.

Finally, those little clip leads are essential for connecting to the actual cells. For the Sensation testing, I actually made a little proprietary clip from a piece of PCB and solder blobs, that I would rubber-band onto the cells. These clips work much much better.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] golfinggino:
so i have tested the 7960mah battery that i picked up yesterday - i would say it is at least double of the oem battery, i have been using the phone alot today - downloading roms and torrents, xda, etc. so the screen has been on most of the day - you could run the whole day with the screen on the entire time if you really wanted to do and still make it through the day without having to charge it, i am just about to plug the phone into my computer as i need to get some files of it and also want to test out the wireless charging unit that i picked up today and flash a new rom - but here are the stats from today

the phone has been running on battery for 10 hours

screen on time 8 hours

battery remaining is 41%

i would not use this on a regular basis as it is a lot bigger but if you really needed the extra time then it will certainly deliver - the only time i would ever need this much battery is on the weekends when i am downloading alot, etc, so the screen is on almost the entire time

hope this helps anyone that is thinking of getting one decide
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Since I'm waiting for 4200 mAh battery, presumably advertised as "oem replacement", I searched a couple more on-line places that sell the same "Gold" battery. Actually found 2 other on-line HK retailers that sell it with an actual disclaimer that its "4200 mAh battery, but you will not get more than 3100 mAh out of it" lol!!! What is funny, even with that disclaimer, they sell 3100 mAh replacement for about $4 while 4200 mAh replacement is $8 and a disclaimer of the same performance as 3100....

@golfinggino: is there a way to peel the label off your 7960 mAh battery? I have a feeling its probably a double capacity "stacked" 6200 mAh battery. Still great to have extra capacity when you need it, although with these double capacity batteries you don't get a good case. Per my review of Seidio's Innocell (link in the signature), they actually came up with a special version of ACTIVE case for their battery, but it's only 4500 mAh rated (although I found it to be of a higher capacity) and I don't understand why wouldn't they make it as a true double capacity.

Also, a general question to everybody, why wouldn't anybody talk about external battery banks?!? Wouldn't that be so much more easier to have a small charged up pack to hook up your phone too for a quick recharge? There are some that deliver true 2A output with capacities of 6 Ah up to 13 Ah and more. Anker, Exogear, and Yoobao make some quality slim external battery banks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] golfinggino:
i am pretty sure it is probably just a double stacked batttery as i had one on my original note and that is what it had - i will see if i can peel off the label and check without ruining it - problem is i sell most of the android devices i have within a week or 2 and buy something new so i dont want to rip it all up ! this extended battery lasts alot longer then the extended battery i had in the original note that is for sure
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Understood, makes no sense to ship back'n'forth.

I'm not too familiar with battery operation, but can find my way around electronics ;)

So in theory you have a close loop (without taking into account ext power of VA meter and heatsink fan), with Battery, VA meter, and Rload in series? What is a value of Rload required for this measurement?

And then, you watch VA meter and time it until the voltage reading drops to 2.5V? What is the actual formula to calculate A/h? Do you need to monitor both Voltage and Current through VA meter? I have a regular multi-meter, but obviously can't monitor both at the same time without turning knob dial, and its battery operated so it will time out after awhile. Can a use multi-meter which plugs into a power outlet or do I need the actual dual display VA meter? I guess if you can show me the formula used to calculate mAh rate, I can figure out what I need for this setup.

I have one on my samsung galaxy s2 (t989)

Qcell 3650.

I couldn't live without it. Lasts a full day with heacy use + 4g + auto/low brightness. The stock battery barely made it to noon. I don't know how others can stand it.

I bought two Qcells, one for me and one for the gf. Both have performed well and can be found on amazon for $20 or so with a free cover.

Boy that sounds like a plug, but its not. I at one point was hunting for a good extended battery and found reviews online, so hopefully I am returning the favor for someone else down the road.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
Luckily, it's a lot easier than that!

The VA meter, is actually a "VAmAH" meter :) I don't know why they just call it a VA meter, because it has an actual function built right in for tracking mAH, no math required. The meter knows the voltage that is being dropped across its output, and the current that is flowing through it so it just tracks the mAH as that all happens.

The fan gets it's power from the circuit's output, just like the resistor does. So it doesn't really matter if the fans running or not. If it is, then the load draws an extra 10mA or so of current, which gets tracked just like all the other current going through the resistor. In practice though, I generally don't bother connecting the fact for small cells like these. The resistor is only burning 3 or 4 watts, and that's fine for air to dissipate.

Someone earlier had a question about battery banks / external packs, and why people don't use them. I do, I have a whole bunch. But they're awkward in that you have to carry cables, and connect cables to your phone. I would echo an earlier poster who commented on the shame of connecting a mobile device to wires. The only time I ever connect my smartphone to cable is (generally) on it's first day in my possession, when I have to get it working with custom ROMs. After that, I generally never hook my phone to a cable again - can't stand the awkwardness of wires.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I see. So what is a value of the load resistor, a few ohms probably? Do you by any chance still have a link to that VA meter you got?

With external batteries, I think either Anker Astro 2 (1A/2A, 8400 mAh) or Exogear ExoVolt (2A, 5200 mAh, stackable!!!!!! or Yoobao (1A/1.5A, 13000 mAh) would be my top choices. I would probably think that Anker Astro 2 for $38 is the best solution in this case of price/capacity.

Oh, and I guess you a wireless charging setup then? If so, wouldn't that be only in one place, like home? While you are on a road, at work, in a car - don't you need to use micro-usb cable?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
I think I have a 10 ohm and a 5 ohm in there, that I can select between, or parallel or series. In practice I try to deplete smartphone cells at as close to 1A as possible when at full voltage (obviously because of ohms law, the rate drops a bit as the voltage falls).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ilandboi14:
I got 3 batteries 2 extended and one fake double cell from chinaI got off ebay.

One 7600mAh and anker extended 6200mAh.both from amazon

I ran nova battery tester in short for battery quick test.for the last 3 test.

the first test are uirrelevant due to the fact that that I had no bios for my phone model in nova at the time. That fourth one upis right when I got the anker and found the bios for my phone.then I ran the short test on the

Anker, 76, china at the end. Also I aged my extended 76 and it puts out 10hours continous on screen time.

My 76 I charge in the low run 350 +/-50mA china solo battery charger. 18 hours out put and at lleast about a days use or more . I charge one extended while im using the other but still I want more power I was wonder if any has made their own extended battery mod. Im thinking about adding the two extended battery on the back and putting them in series the make a suposive brickscreen device. With power for a week. Im looking fir easy make series some how .. but I digest.

Heres nova.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
What did you get on Nova Tester for OEM battery? I installed this app in the morning, while my phone was at 100%. Run it once, but it crashed after 2+ hours. I'm running it again now starting at 65% (btw, it recognized the phone right away), and at 2hours its almost done (probably 95% or so) and stock battery capacity is reading 4935 mAh. Should I even trust these results?

You seem to confirm it to be accurate so I was wondering what measurement did you get with stock batt?

Btw, for what it's worth, the Nova test app runs with screen on at full brightness (although in airplane mode to disable 4G/wifi activity), running all kinds of stuff in the background to discharge your phone faster (I assume). So it has been running for 5.5 hours non-stop under these screen-on/full brightness stress test, battery voltage went only from 3.795 V to 3.698 V, and 98% down to 31%. That is actually pretty good for endurance test.

Btw^2, as I was writing this reply the program crashed probably right before test was complete. But still, under my results it shows 4858 mAh. Obviously, I can't trust this result for stock battery...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Not the best option because 1) only 2800 mAh, while there are similar ones for 3200 mAh, 2) It has In/Out rated at only 0.5A which means it will take you forever to charge it up to begin with, and it will take forever to charge up the phone connected to it. And if you are using your phone, like watching a movie or GPS, while charging it up - it will not be able to keep up with discharging of the phone which goes at a much higher rate. For these type of back-pack batteries you need at least 1A In/Out for a decent charge time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rhd-android:
The other big issue I have with using external packs in this scenario, is efficiency (or lack thereof).

An external pack runs off lithium cells that have a voltage of anywhere from 3 to 4.2 throughout their discharge curve. However, the external pack needs to boost this to 5V for transmission of power by USB. Boost converters, if they are decent, will be 85% efficient. Then your phone has to buck the 5V back down to 4.2V for charging. Buck circuits also lose some efficiency, say another 15%. Then, you've also got the losses that occur by virtue of the charging process, because instead of running the phone off your external pack directly, you're actually charging the internal cell, and that process is only 80 to 90% efficient (and in small scale you'll probably be closer to the 80% end of that range).

So, 2000 mah in an external cell, is really going to translate into more like 2000 * .85 * .85 * .8 = ~1150 mah of charge to your internal cell.
