Amen aikon359! This kind of foul language has no place in forums of this kind. I understand frustration and anger - been there, done that! Subjecting all of us to this kind of tirade is inexcusable and I believe the moderator(s) should yank postings like this immediately.

Hi Mike,

a few days ago there was this post - http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=8515

I just took the KSE-Truefax CAB-File from the new BETA-Rom (is it legal ?) and installed it. It works very fine, sending and receiving.

So may be this is the solution You are looking for.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brayden87:
So I purchased this for my note off eBay. Paid about $40 shipped to my door. Impressed by the quality, it looks sturdy and would last a while.

I used battery current tester and only got 600max charge apposed to the 1200 my stock Samsung charger puts out.

This means 4-6 hours charge time instead of 2 and I must say when I use the phone on charge it actually sucks battery.

It's rated at 2amps which was my mistake but unsure if it makes much difference at 2.1amps.

" Input: DC5V---1000mA; Output 1: DC 5.3V?1000mA (Max); Output 2: DC 5.2V?2000mA (Max)

1A & 2A output at the same time, suit charge for mobile phone, Tablet PC, Digital Camera etc."

Does anyone know how I can get 1200? Or can suggest a power bank for the note 2 that can hold a good charge in say 2-3 hours?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I assume you are not on Verizon and using Galaxy Charger Current app to track your current?

OK, here is a scoop on external battery pack you got. Since you bought it from ebay, I can guarantee you that Yooboa is a fake HK version. eBay sellers buy it form Aliexpress retailers in bulk and re-sell it at double the profit. Take a look here: http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...00mah&catId=0&initiative_id=AS_20130429044248 - you can get it for $20 shipped free to US (but aliexpress retailers doesn't accept paypal).

There only a few authorized Yoobao resellers in the world, and Kevikev is probably one of the few (if not the only one) in US. Even at his discounted price, this real model cost $55: http://kevikev.com/Yoobao-Long-March-11200mah-Power-Bank-for-USB-Mobile-Device-YB-642.htm

The fake ones look very real but have fake guts. Beside 600mA current you measured (or maybe it's just a typical 500mA pc-usb current?), it most likely is not 11200 mAh but probably half of it, and you also have to take in consideration 30% de-rating on top of it since mAh capacity on external batteries is at 3.7V while it has to be converted to 5V usb output where you loose 25%-30% due to inefficiency.

I recommend Anker and NewTrent external power banks I have tested and reviewed (summary of my review links in my signature). Just keep in mind those mAh numbers in reality are always 30% lower for the actual capacity your phone sees. I also been informed NewTrent will be releasing 13000 mAh slim battery in a few weeks which I'm going to review as well. But either way, Anker and NewTrent are trusted brand names (with a ton of amazon positive reviews) and offer 1A and 2A outputs and also 1A input charging of the battery itself so you can quickly charger your battery pack and then quickly charger your phone as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brayden87:
I'm on an Australian Telstra phone.

Used the original cable for those figures which is embarrassing.

Looks like I'm tossing this junk, I'll just go buy one you mentioned.

Thanks heaps for your help
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
You are welcome. If you are not in a rush and can wait till mid of May, the NewTrent upcoming PowerPak+ might be a good choice since you are after a higher capacity. I only have their preliminary spec but its going to be 13,500 mAh (@3.7V) with 1A input charging, and dual 1A and 2A outputs, and dimensions of 125mm x 68mm x 28mm @ 283g.

Also, as I mentioned in other threads, stay away from those ebay no name 20,000 mAh ext battery bricks...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brayden87:
Believe it or not, i read your reviews and cross checked some prices online.

The NewTrent may be a better battery than the Anker, but its about 3 x the price to get them from US to AUS.

I ended up getting the new ANKER A4 13000mah

1. Because the 3E was the only other for sale

2. They're both USB input so it makes more sense just to go the higher mah rating

3. Its a new model

Paid $60 shipped to my door from ANKER off ebay.

I purchased it for travelling across Europe - i want the option to charge via AC + USB instead of just AC with the Anker 3. I only intend to use it with my Note anyway and bought it because Hostels won't always have free powerpoints.

My last question i was worried about and just bit the bullet with is: How long does it take to charge via AC (samsung stock) ? It says a crazy 8-10hours on the website via USB. I don't want to leave it alone fearing someone will steal it if its 10 hours.

Thanks again - how do i thank you in your other post? can't find the button.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Uh, totally forgot m8, you are Down Under :) I know it has been mentioned before by others that shipping outside of US for some products could kill the price. Or sometimes you can't even get the product shipped out; there is a thread started by another member from Australia about getting Zerolemon 9300 mAh battery.

I was about ready to suggest another battery from Yoobao (genuine) rated at 15,600 mAh for $60 from Kevikev, but it probably going to cost you arm'n'leg to ship it out. Sounds like you got a great deal on that Anker battery and even after de-rating you should still get 3 full chargers of Note 2. Regarding charging time, just look at it this way, your rating is 13000 mA-hour. The input to this Anker E4 is 1500 mA, and that's how much current it will take every hour so 13000 / 1500 = 8.6 hours. I think it will be closer to 8 hours of charging. Your wall Samsung charger is 2A which means it can supply up to 2000 mA of current which is plenty for battery's 1500 mA input to charge it at full rate. But if you are using a wall charger rated at 1A or an old phone charger rated at 500mA-750mA - your input will be charging at a much slower rate because AC charger will not be able to supply full 1500 mA amount. Probably charging overnight is the best idea if you are worrying about someone taking it away. But these things are so small, and even with stock usb cable you don't have to be next to outlet. Probably put a newspaper over it or something when you are away? These don't get overheat even considering 30% of energy loss.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brayden87:
I paid $49 + $9 shipping - a bargain in my book. All the other batteries are $50 to ship, which is about the price of the unit itself!

I think i will stay away from Yoobao from now on haha. 8.6 Hours is OK, it doesn't need to be fully charged at all times - just enough for a quick recharge in an emergency situation where i can't find a charger or provide another 3-4 hours battery while im kicking it on the train for 6 hours.

I couldn't get the Astro 3 anyway - even if i was looking for a 4-5 hour AC charge.

Looking forward to testing this badboy out!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanditBora:
Hello everybody,

I am considering purchasing an S3 but i have a quite big question for witch i could not find an accurate answer on this forum. Is it true that the display of the I9300 is predisposed to cracks due to it's slightly curved shape? I have a friend that has a GSM service and he told me that most of the S3s that came to him for a repair had that kind of problem and he also said that i shouldn't buy this kind of phone.

Unfortunately I cannot afford the new S4 and the S3 felt pretty good in my hand when I had the chance to test is a bit. In general i take good care of my phones, but I am wondering, are there any chances of breaking the screen alt the slightest shock that the phone would receive?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
I dropped mine a fair few times (on concrete) and its never broke, I have a flip front case on it and its still like new (I've had it for about 6 months now)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanditBora:
Thank you for your fast response. :) So your opinion is that I should buy one, right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
Haha its not up to me mate, I'm just saying the S3 is no more breakable then any other phone... I definitely don't regret buying my S3. But its still up to you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanditBora:
Another thing I want to ask. How is the GPS on the S3? I travel quite a lot and I use the GPS every time, but mine i9001 is simply rubbish as it takes about 7-8 minutes until it gets a lock, the signal is mostly weak and the error is somewhere between 60 and 100 meters and it gets disconnected from time to time. I tried custom ROMS, different GPS tweaks and apps that were supposed to make the GPS on my phone work properly but it was all in vane.

Did you had the chance to test the GPS on your phone? How does it behave?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
If you're worried about it's toughness just get a solid case, plenty to chose from. I got a black UAG and it's an excelent compromise between tough, weight and style. That said, i don't think it was made for being able to stand much. Never dropped mine, even with the case but i don't think it would take the beating well.

About the gps it's realy good. Also had an i9000 and i definitly know where you're coming from but it's quite different with the S3. Locks really fast. As always, the very first time takes a while. From that point on it's golden. Few seconds and it's ready. Even faster than my proper ndrive gps device. Also doesn't break lock which was my real problem with the i9000. With slimrom, at this very moment, from inside a cafe near the window, mesured with GPS Test, i'm picking 9 / 10 sattelites with an accuracy of 10 - 12 meters.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
+1 :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahall1988:
ive got to agree I've dropped my s3 twice without its case on and all I have is a tiny scratch on the plastic back cover.

and i use gps all the time while out bike riding (often in no cell signal areas) and it is really fast at connecting and the only time it's ever disconnected was a trip to a toilet with a roof overhead.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanditBora:
As I mentioned in my first post in general I take good care of my phones. On my i9001 I have a Momax case like this http://forum.softpedia.com/uploads2/1c/anunturi_image_153850.jpg and I am very pleased with it as it protected my phone very well when I dropped it. Maybe I can find one for the S3 too. :D

Thank you all for your responses and advices. :) I hope that next week I'll be the owner of a new Samsung Galaxy S3. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squ89r97:
Chuck Norris has a S3 ;) Thats how tough it is! - Seriously, i dropped a pint glass on mine! I put it on the worktop, went to get a glass = slipped glass from cupboard on to S3! the glass broke! S3 just laughed it off, not a scratch! ( I realise i was very lucky) :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Well, try to get the i9305 (the 4G one). The price difference shouldn't be significant, it's the same as the S3 except with 2Gb of ram (the s3 only has 1Gb). Makes a world of difference, trust me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
It's tough. But then again, if you take good enough care of your device, they're all tough.I'd say give it a try. Most carriers have an option, where you can try a new device for two weeks, and if you don't like it, you can send it back and get a new one. I'd do that. Personally, I've never had any mechanical problems with any of my Samsungs (M7600, Omnia 7, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S III) and I'm pretty happy much with them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monte666:
Depends on the luck of the bounce here is a two foot drop onto grass
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
2 feet on to grass? Maybe you launched it from two feet onto grass. I'm gonna call BS. Had to be a stone or something in the grass. I've dropped mine from about 5'8" onto cobble stone like path way and all it got was a couple little spots where the pain chipped and plastic kinda "dented" or chipped. No scratches. Its pretty durable. Dropped mine about 6 times and I've had it since about a week after it came out. Not a screen crack or break. I don't use a case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanditBora:
Unfortunately none of the carriers in Romania offer such a service. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanditBora:
You are wright. :) The i9305 is only 30 euros more expensive than the original i9300. :D I'll wait a little more and save the extra 30 euros and I'll definitely get the i9305. Thanks for the tip. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VentureForth:
I work in an environment where I have had the opportunity to talk with a representative from Gorilla Glass. Gorilla Glass is still glass. It is certainly more resistance to breakage and scratches than non GG, but tap it right at the wrong frequency, and it'll crack real well. My wife's phone was dropped by our 7 year old the 2nd day she had it. Hairline crack in two places.

I'm going to go slightly OT, but it's still relevant. IF you break your glass, the part that breaks is a cheap $10 part to replace. Only, replacing ONLY the glass is all but impossible. Don't ask me how I know. :angel: You're best off buying the full frame with the LCD, digitizer, and front glass pre installed. Then, just a gentle hand can replace the glass in about 10 minutes. I just bought such an assembly today for about $170 on eBay.

But the general sentiment here still holds true - unless you're buying a Rugby, the general toughness of the S3 is going to be generally the same as any other similar sized device.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Wow. Seriously? Well.. that sucks ***k..

I'm on a contract with the German Telekom (T-Mobile (Before any Americans start bloating about how cr*p they are in America: They're the best Provider, here in Europe!)) and I've always had those chances. Maybe you should move ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monte666:
Like I said luck of the bounce fresh cut grass no rocks I could find just landed on the top corner. And no I didn't throw it bent over to move a stick and it fell out of my shirt pocket didn't make any noise when it broke either believe it or don't no skin of my back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Objectively speaking, the built quality of the s3 is not samsung's best (of the galaxy ace, galaxy s and galaxy s2 i believe f4om personal experience it's the worst). I owned a galaxy ace that received far more punishment than my s3, for a full 18 months, and it yet lives without a single scratch on the screen (i used to carry it in my pocket, with keys and some change!)

I take care of the s3 like a 5 month old child and already has 2 scratches on the screen (never dropped it, always alone in my pocket, always face up on the table).

2 of my friends had their screen cracked on the first fall (one of them fell less than 3 feet on a carpet and that was it).

It's a really good phone, but it's a fragile one, get a good protective case if you consider buying it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna84:
I dont think the curved edges of the screen is break prone, buy one and use a cheapy case from ebay like sites for protection. This way you can change your phone looks every week :D. Case idea is my personal opinion but the screen is pretty solid in our beloved SGS3. May of my frnd have the same phone and all of us are very happy with it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanditBora:
Thank you all for your responses. Eventually I will buy myself a S3 and a serious cover in order to keep it safe. :) From what I read so far about the phone's toughness it all comes to how lucky or unlucky one is. I hope I'll be in the "lucky" category. :D

@ familyguy59, when you say that I should move, you refer that I should move to the T-Mobile carrier or that I should move in another country? :D We do not have T-Mobile in Romania, but I am seriously thinking about moving in another country, the only problem I have is that is very hard to find a job given the actual economical situation. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJGirl:
I've had the s3 for close to 6 mo and it's still in great condition. I had the otterbox and a screen protector for the first 4 months but then I got bored and annoyed at how thick it made my phone look. I bought a cheapo ($4) flip cover off eBay and removed the screen protector. I haven't gone back since. I have dropped my phone in different times (on wood, carpet, grass, and dirt) and I'd say that 80% of the time it landed on its face and corner.(without screen protector and in a flip cover) and it has still survived without a scratch. Now, maybe I'm extremely lucky but I am very happy with my choice. Maps works very well, but GPS takes forever to load directions, at the same time it's the fault of my coverage cuz I live in the boonies. I find myself saving maps for offline use. Would I exchange this phone? Yes, only for the S4 or Note 2 but that's just me wanting bigger and better. Worst case scenario, Samsung will change my screen for $170 here in the US. I'm sure they're just as reasonable there. Wish you the best of luck.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konmatas:
Hello,

i was reading the thread about removing the anti-shatter film and been thinking about doing it myself, however i noticed that there is no official or at least confirmed information about the glass that is used in xPeria Z. I have read that it is Gorilla glass on the front and Dragontrail on the back or the other way around, but i could not seem to find the proof that it is actually those brands that are used.

Usually, i believe, the phone manufacturers are proud of the protection they use for their screens and tend to highlight that they are using the strongest glass available on the market, yet in Xperia Z's case it is just said that it's a scratch resistant glass with anti-shatter film on it. It might be that it's just Sony that won't talk about the glass

So if anyone knows any solid info about this, please do share it .

Thanks.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
Sony never said (in public) what glass they used, they just said "some kind of tempered glass". So I've got no clue why Amazon says Dragontail @ front and back. Why would only they have this kind of info?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Front uses Dragontrail Glass, and the back is Gorilla Glass 2 according to slides from Sony's presentation in Hong-Kong. As long as our friend from XDA got the translation right. We can be - at least - sure there's Dragontrail and Gorilla Glass on XZ.

Interestingly though, the one slide that detailed the glass components is now missing...

Here's the original thread where we found and shared the details - there was one more slide there that got removed from the site:

Hello people,

For the past few months I'm having this issue which I find extremely annoying!@!!

Every few minutes, my phones just loses internet connectivity - the 3g signal appears to be normal during all the time, thing is, whenever I try to use any internet application - it just hangs. and then, after a minute or so, connectivity is back(again, for a few minutes).

I have tried flashing so many versions of modems - some improved it a little but most of them didn't help at all, or even made it worse.

Hopefully someone could help me with that as I'm that close to give up on this and buy a new phone.

Thanks in advanced.
