[General Questions and Answers] tiemahshoo:
Hello,

I'm new here, but I've visited frequently for rooting instructions and things like that. I'm very impressed by the work that this community has put out, and I figure that I'd ask a favor directly. I only assume that some, if not all, of the members simply mod for fun, nor do I don't know how difficult it is to modify code, but I'm going to ask anyways and hope that I don't come off like an idiot.

I go to school at the University of Alaska Anchorage, and the printing system here allows for mobile printing. The problem is that I traded my old laptop for a Windows RT device, and although my vivotab is jailbroken and does properly run ported apps, it doesn't want to run the mobile print exe. I looked up the problem on google to see if I could fix it myself only to learn that the exe for mobile printing installs a pharos popup client along with the printer drivers and that Ohio State University has an open source club that solved the problem for Linux laptops by installing CUPS.

I don't know if anyone is interested in helping or if this is even possible, but I thought I'd give this a shot. Also it sounds relevant since RT is somewhat catered to the college student, and it looks like at least a handful of universities use the same type of system? I don't know. I'm in over my head, so thanks!

Not new to rooting here, recommend me a rom. AOSP is preferred, but not necessary. I am currently using NovaLauncher, so if a ROM already uses it, big plus. Battery life is the biggest concern, even though I have 3 extended batts that I rotate. Awesome cool gimicky features are also a plus. Thanks, guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Subiegsr:
Honestly, it's all a matter of opinion. The battery life for most roms will be around the same.

At the moment I'm using paranoid rom which I love being able to adjust the dpi of each individual app.

My advice is just try them all, and just nandroid backup so you can always go back to one you prefer more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] emmac176:
I would like to think that I've used almost all roms on my sprint note 2 they all have their pros and cons I was using Jellybomb for a while-so many options and mods-v15 will be released soon so you can add themes IMHO with all the mods and features it has it is the most stable.The down side for me was all the added apps almost made it seem as bloated as stock touchwiz, so I tried PAC man. Also very stable the dev is very responsive you get the very best of the best paranoid Android and cyanogen in one rom for those of us that just have to be on the latest and greatest version of Android 4.2.2. This is zero bloat as stock as Google makes for it's nexus devices. The down side is that you miss out on some of the features that make the note the awesome phablet that it is like multi-Window and the s-pen is basically a mouse. Currently I'm using NoWizAOSPmod v1.4.6 I get the best of both worlds, no bloat, multi-Window and s-pen support, several aosp features and Google wallet. Been using it for about a week with no issues so far. Best thing to do is try them out as long as you remember to back up your current rom heck try them all out I'm fairly new to roming so the hardest thing for me was all the reading and searching. Sorry for the long winded post but hope it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GuestD0701:
@op I use Carbon rom religiously and you can use an app called "write" for a s-pen like app and gps works over 3g but seems to go to "searching for gps " when switching to lte so I just use gps over 3g and has worked fine. Mms works for me with stock app, I just flip on data and send and receive pics.. I have been using the Carbon nightlies for a while and am more than happy. :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pokerizer:
Right now i'm torn between Macsrom Allstar 3.5 and AOKP build 6. Macsrom is AOSP and keeps all my features but isn't as customizable as the AOKP. If i can figure out how to theme Macsrom i'll be staying with that. It does have some neat features and good battery life. Anyways i would just make a backup and start flashing different roms till you find one that works for you. I'm new to this and it's all pretty straight forward.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaymdev:
NOWIZAOSPMOD is awesome, I've been using it for a month or so now and love it. I waited a long time to flash a new rom because I like the samsung features espceially with the s-pen and multi-window. This rom is awesome because it looks and feels like the AOSP but has the samsung features that I wanted to hold on to. I highly recommend it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
I really like DigiBlur -- it's a debloated TW ROM with some really nice tweaks and mods. I use Nova to get around the crippling of TW due to all the lawsuits. He just updated the ROM to MC2 and it runs very nice.

So I was surfing the intraweb last night and came across http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...galaxy-s-relay-4g-t699-with-battery-door.html. Very tempting, especially considering that according to Mugen it has NFC. What do y'all think? Should I?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Braccoz:
uuh... the relay is already quite thick, with that battery it will be huge... i personally wouldn't, but it's a matter of personal taste
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
I had an extended battery on my Doubleshot before this - the bulk didn't really bother me. Maybe I'm strange but I didn't mind. Especially with the battery life I got.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
i has extended batteries for my G1 one back then. i used them when i took the device with me geocaching. I had two of them and they made the device stay up longer than i ever did :)

downside with the bulky back covers is, that the device won't fit into any pouches no more. and, of course cases no longer fit either.

but once you're used to the shape - imho - the added thickness is no longer disturbing.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tany.jags:
You can go for this solution....1/5th of Mugen's price:

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
I had purchased a EZO high capacity battery with cover from Amazon--the same day I ordered the phone. That was months ago and I see the battery is no longer available on the site.

That's a shame, because the package was reasonably priced, the cover fits well, and the battery works as promised.

The device can run about ten consecutive hours for me running CM9 without any CPU profiles and with the governour set to interactive.

If I'm going to be away from a charger for a long time, I've found that setting the device to powersave is tolerable for most applications and the battery goes from good to ridiculous...

The additional bulk will turn off some buyers; however, I have found that it makes sliding the keyboard open much easier...

If you can find an EZO battery and you don't mind the extra bulk, I recommend one.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] janejunx:

Does it have NFC? I don't see it anywhere on the page.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Nope. No NFC.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] pianoplayer88key:
I've had my Relay 4G about a month and a half now, and am already looking at getting an extended battery. I find myself charging it a few times a day - sometimes I'll only get maybe 3 hours before it's "critically low". Yes, I do use it a ton - it's currently my main computer, since I rarely have access to my parents' laptop and my desktop, whose case+mobo+cpu I recently sent to the recycle bin, bit the dust over a year ago. Also I have unlimited unthrottled 4G on T-Mobile (and used well over 10-12GB last month, & this (billing) month am currently at 12.21GB since April 28.

I've seen the Mugen 4600mAh battery with NFC online around $90 (way too rich for my blood), and the EZOPower 4100mAh (no NFC) for around $17-23 or so at Amazon or NewEgg, among other places. I was originally wary of the cheap price on the EZO, but if the huge price difference is due to NFC and not being a cheaply made battery, I'd want the EZO, possibly 2. I don't use the NFC hardly at all, and I suppose if I really need it sometime I could pop the original stock battery back in for the occasion.

So any reason for me to NOT get the EZOPower 4100mAh? If I get 2, I'll probably also want an external charging solution so I can charge one while using the other. Also is there a hardshell case (with a built-in stand) available that fits the phone with the larger battery door? BTW unavailability of those two things won't be dealbreakers for me getting the battery. I had an extended battery for my G1, and that phone finally bit the dust after ~4+ years. (I wonder if my SGH-T699 will last that long…)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
would somebody care to explain to be why nfc is dependand on the battery?

the batteries have just the same 4 connectors as any other cell battery i always had in my hands.

or are they made of materials that don't shield the nfc waves passing though?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
nfc antenna is in the battery casing. NFC antennas go for about $5 on ebay, if you figured out which two connectors go to the nfc you could probably set up your own if your battery doesn't support it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] 5318008:
Can anyone confirm whether the Relay accurately reports on the extended batteries? I'm currently using a patched Droid 3, but I'm starting to find its limitations too restrictive, and I'm thinking of plonking down for a Relay.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stonefoz:
EZO battery

I also picked up two EZO batteries. They have a well made cover and last for twice what stock does. Unfortunately it didn't have a NFC antenna and both have now swollen up to the point they no longer fit. While I had left them plugged in after full charge, they seem to stay warm and not tolerate it well. Can't say how well they could have lasted if better cared for, but abuse or overcharging seems to effect them quickly.

Does the mugen or other brands also have issues? If anyone else have suggestions.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Well, it just displays a percentage. It at least seems accurate while logging with Juice Defender's graph, it would track down at fairly consistent rate until charged or out of power. As for swapping over to a Relay, It's about as well supported as any slider out right now. I haven't been disappointed.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] katilicous:
ezo

the EZObattery rocks. For $19 (I got mine on ebay) I get 2 days and a few hours into the 3rd before needing a charge.

I have the same issue kilr00y mentioned about it not fitting into pouches or cases except I found now that the phone is harder to flip open and safely hold at the same time while doing 90 other things at once which is when I always need to use the phone. I keep an aftermarket case on the front screen part but can't find an extended back case. I made my own from a tube of black silicone but would love to hear it if anyone finds another option. I don't mind if the phone turns into 1988 brick style size so long as the battery lasts and I don't crack the screen again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rudias:
I was looking at extended batteries and if I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a genuine extended battery that should work with this phone. Just would need an extended battery cover. Battery model is: EB-L1K6ULZ (Link)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] scaltro:
It looks good. Be aware that most "extended" battery will not last long... In particular when they have a lower voltage than the original battery. Lot of battery with higher mAh run at 3.7V instead of 3.8V this make it last shorter than the original.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
My high capacity EZO battery eventually bloated and swelled up--after a year. I replaced it with a Mugen battery. Both came with new back covers and make the device about as chunky as a Sidekick II.

My device can run OpenGL applications for about 9 hours straight with the brightness set to 50%. It's about the same for movies. I get decent signal at my house and GPS is disabled when I am not using it. I use Green Power and Greenify to save battery when the device is locked, but that wouldn't affect using the device.

I am on an official Cyanogen nightly, so there's really no battery saving hocus pocus at work here.

Make no mistake, an extended battery will get you about 9 hours of heavy use. I thought I was going to die when I used a stock battery for a week waiting for my new Mugen to replace the old EZO. The device literally couldn't survive one day of use for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] pianoplayer88key:
Ahh, so your EZO bloated too, just took a little longer than mine did.

Sounds like the Mugen (if that's the one you describe getting 9 hours of heavy use) has relatively decent life. :) Would you say it's significantly better per charge in that respect than the EZO was when it was good?

Also how is the Mugen for longevity, as in not swelling, etc? If I buy a Mugen, would I over the long term pay the same or less than if I had kept buying EZOs? Paying $90 in one blow seems a bit heavy on the wallet, but I'd do it if I'm getting that much better quality & longevity. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Honestly, I got about the same results with my EZO battery: just over 9 hours of constant heavy use. Other than the fact it swelled up, it worked great. I guess there was a reason it was so cheap...

I had a Mugen battery for my Sidekick 4G before I bought the Relay and it still works great. (I loaned the SK4G to a friend that broke his phone.) My new Mugen hasn't had any problems, but I've only had it a few months.

Combined with TeamApex's Cyanogen and this awesome QWERTY keyboard, my extended batteries have made this phone the most productive and useful device I have ever owned. I can't say enough great things about ApexTmo, the Relay, and extended batteries. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] pianoplayer88key:
Ahh that's good to hear. :) Also the capacity of the Mugen is 4600 mAh vs the 4100 on the EZO, so I'd expect it'd have some more life per charge. :) Looks like I'll be trying to scrounge up the dough for the Mugen, then. Also they have a 1 YEAR return policy, and I've had TWO EZOs swell up in a little less than that. That tells me the Mugen should be much better quality.

Originally I was thinking the lack of NFC on the EZO was the reason it was cheap. Turns out NFC doesn't cost THAT much to implement, so the EZO cheapened out elsewhere, in our case, swelling prematurely.

I do wish it had more built-in RAM, though. Having apps close after only switching between 1 or 2 is quite annoying. Also I'm currently running stock/updated 4.1.2. I'd like to put Cyanogen on it, but want to do it in such a way that I can go back to stock so that if I had to send the phone in, they'd never know I'd rooted/flashed it.

And yes, I can't live without the QWERTY. :) I'm thinking my next phone is unlikely to have one built-in, though, so I think the next best thing would be if I could get a flip case, maybe with velcro or something, that I could put the phone in one side and a USB or bluetooth keyboard in the other side. I know a lot of people do fine with typing on touch screens, but I need to be able to feel the keys when I'm typing. I like to be able to type without looking at the keyboard. In fact, I believe that's how I was taught originally, on the computer as well as on the piano, to type/play without looking at the keys. Sometimes, for example, I even play the piano in a dark room with the lights off. :)

Also what's the largest µSD card you're using with your Relay? I've been using a 64 GB Sandisk Ultra (or similar model) since soon after I got my phone around March 2013. It had been working fine in the phone for a while, but in my dad's laptop (Windows XP Pro 32-bit) I could read from it, but couldn't write much to it before I'd get a write protect error, or something like that. More recently it's gotten to where it'll appear that I wrote to it on the phone, but later it turns out it didn't. I even "formatted", then rebooted, and everything was still all intact from before the "format". Is it possible that my card just went bad? Or should I consider getting something else? A 32 GB card is too small for me, considering the music, etc, I'd always want access to. I'd like to get a 128 GB when the price comes down to a reasonable level.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Ayle87:
Huh, I just use an external battery and keep it in my backpack. Not a solution for everyone though....:p
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] terinfire:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L4MAQMK

I bought this guy. I've been pretty happy with it. A week in and I can go two days without connecting to a charger. I haven't changed my usage (I actually probably use it a little more now, since I know I can last so long) and I used to only get ~ 9-10 hours before being at 10-15% (sometimes less) with the stock battery and LiquidSmooth ROM (no changes on the governors, schedulers, etc).

I'm pretty happy -- just have to make sure you try to let it follow a natural flow cycle and not keep charging when it's not even > 20% used. This is only a week in, but most batteries that I've had that sucked failed within a few days and dropped capacity. We'll see how this one holds up for a few months.

So, since upgrading to mb4 I've been plagued with this wakelock. It's to the point where I'll leave my phone on the charger for hours without the battery percentage changing. I called Tmobile tonight and they're sending me a new phone.

My guess is that it's happening because my phone is looking for LTE that isn't available, but they didn't care to troubleshoot anything. I thought that was kind of weird. On my end I've factory reset and tried different chargers and outlets, but it seems like they'd maybe have some other options.

I noticed mine one day would turn the screen on all by itself immediately after I turned the screen off. No matter what I did it wouldn't stop. I restarted the phone and it stopped ever since.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aria807:
I wonder when there will be fix for mdm_hsic_pm0. This is the most annoying wakelock as of date. Every other wakelock I've ever had on my other phones I've owned were killable by ForceClose on an app. This one just kicks on @ random times and no way to stop it asides from reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony yayo:
Any update on this? I have been having this problem at totally random times but lately have been having problems with email as it won't sign in to yahoo. That also happens at totally random times as well. Turned off LTE since it's not in my area anyway. Didn't make a difference. Thought they might be related to work being done on the towers around me meaning maybe I'll be getting LTE after all, and soon!? Anyone else experience these problems shortly before getting LTE in your area?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] -Sn1PeR-:
I've had this problem (mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock) on my t0lteatt on stock, cleanrom, CM, AOKP, and now Rootbox. It seems to span every ROM I've tried. I honestly haven't found very much info on it, but it tends to prevent my phone from deep sleeping all day. The only temporary fix I've found is to restart my phone, but that is obnoxious and tends to be after I've noticed I'm sitting below 70% at lunch time and something is wrong. I'm in an area with strong LTE 24/7 on AT&T.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aria807:
I believe the NEAK kernel fixes it.

My Note 2 was having a crap ton of that wakelock when I 1st bought it, with all sorts of rom combos / kernels, until I flashed NEAK 1.8. They are currently @ v2.0.2 so probably will still fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] -Sn1PeR-:
You are totally right. I flashed NEAK about a week ago and it fixed this wakelock for me - my battery life has improved by about 30% per day. Thanks a bunch for that one. I hadn't flashed a specific non-ROM bundled kernel before, but now I'll be sticking with this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony yayo:
With no changes by myself whatsoever the wakelock has gone away for me mostly. Only gets stuck on maybe once a week now. Maybe some app updated, I don't know, but definitely been much improved lately.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottx .:
So the past few days my new girlfriend has been the texting me and sometimes for hours. Like today I didn't touch the phone all afternoon and she had to call me to see if I was okay. After we hung up I rebooted the phone and once it came back up I got six text from three people all at once. Text from all afternoon, hours worth.

This is soo annoying and I wonder if anyone else has this issue sometimes?

I'm on Straight Talk unlimited.

I thought maybe it was LiquidSmooth ROM doing it so I switched to the official cm nightly and it still does it.

I searched and couldn't find anything related.

Why Samsung uses white background for settings and multiwindow bar when they know the amoled screen prefer black.

I think they will not use amoled again for the next flagship, or some version of s4 will not use amoled. They want us to get used first with white background.

What do you think guys.
