[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
I'm in Canada, with Rogers and have had a 727R for about 18 months. It's time for a new battery mid-contract.

But Rogers doesn't sell them any more. Nor does Best Buy, Future Shop, the Source etc. There are lots of phone vendors around, but I find that they sell them at $20 - $30, and they must be used, because even after a few cycles and battery calibration, they are usually worse than my old battery. I've bought two from different vendors in the Pacific Mall, they were awful.

I've been told that unless Samsung sells it to you, it's a refurbished battery. Don't even know what that might be...how do you refurb a battery?

So with the retailers no longer stocking batteries for non-current phones, where does one get a NEW Skyrocket battery in Canada?

Also looking for a Verizon Samsung Nexus Extended Battery (2200) as per another thread here. They are gone! Nobody has them. I'd love to try one on my Skyrocket, as it's a higher capacity and most say the fit is not an issue, but nobody seems to sell those either. Ebay sellers are out of stock with no idea if they are coming back in.

Is this what it's come to? Do you throw your phone away after 18 months???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I have the Verizon nexus battery and it fits fine. I guess I should hold on to my stock one just in case. Having said that, I've had mine for 14 months and I haven't noticed any degradation in battery life.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
We have Amazon, but there are Samsung Nexus Extended Battery (2200) left anywhere, and the cheap $20 batteries all seem to be refurbished, none of them last very long.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
Almost all of those batteries aren't "refurbished". For refurbishing the battery you need to replace the battery itself, keeping the battery controller chip and battery housing. This is mostly done in laptops.

However, housing is almost non-existent on i727 battery - it consists of 2 plastic covers, lower and upper, with the upper holding the controller chip. All the rest of the space is the battery.

What you get when you buy a battery from eBay will most likely be counterfeit, AKA fake. It's a smaller battery wrapped in plastic housing with a chip. It won't have NFC even if written on it, and it'll hold 1/2 the time of the original battery - and the "SAMSUNG" glued paper on it will be just that - a paper.

I've disassembled one of those, so the info is first hand.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bruxelles5:
Le smartphone SPV M1000 alias Qtek 2020 sous PocketPC 2003 Phone Edition est équipé de la technologie Bluetooth. Cette technologie utilise un pilote qui permet de la faire fonctionner, malheureusement sur ces smartphones, c'est la pile Microsoft qui a été choisie. La pile Bluetooth de Microsoft est très basic d'un point de vue fonctionnel mais également très instable avec certains périphériques à l'image de certaines oreillettes ou GPS Bluetooth.

Les meilleurs drivers Bluetooth toutes plateformes confondues sont ceux proposés par la société WidComm, celle-ci équipe notamment les PocketPC HP IPAQ et souffre de très peu de problème de compatibilité. Ces fameux drivers sont maintenant disponibles pour le SPV M1000/Qtek 2020 et corrige de nombreux bugs comparé à la pile Bluetooth de Microsoft mais apporte également de nombreuses fonctionnalités à l'image de l'accès réseau via Bluetooth...

********************

Sur un autre forum un gars du nom de JRC a posté un truc super pour aider encore plus voici ce qu'il dit :

Marche terrible plus qu'a trouver le moyen de virer les restes de l'ancienne pile BT de Microsoft car maintenant j'ai deux icones BT sur la page Aujourd'hui !

****

un autre gars réponds à cette question par : Il faut supprimer la clé \HKLM\Services\BTIcon

Et JRC de répondre à ceci :

Salut, j'ai fait un petit CAB qui installera la pile BT de WidComm avec en plus :

- suppression de l'icone Bluetooth de l'ancienne pile dans les paramètres.

- modification des textes présents en allemand vers de l'anglais !

Thanks a lot, now I know what this forum has been made for !!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bruxelles5:
this the best I can do

This is the best answer I can do so fare.

Why don't you try it ? If it goes bad you can allways do a Hard Reset and comeback online with a backup. It won't hurt.

And then comeback here and tell us what you see and what you feel.

Can you do that?

PS: If I have more info, let me tell you, I will post it here ASAP. So fare I don't. For some people it's working (depend always on there BT devices and brand) for some others it's not working. What else can I say ??

It's allways best to try and see if it feet your needs.

I hope that answer make you feel better.

PS Again: with 4 posts in 5 months you can't critisize much. Involve yourself a little more and things will goes better I guess.

Hi. I've just installed it on my spvm1000 with the 1.72wwe imate rom :

- the bluetooth file transfert work

- i was not able to create a network connection (maybe i don't know how ?)

- i setup an activesync connection with the widcomm but i can't make an activesync synchronisation.

- don't try the bluetooth header cause I haven't got one.

JRC, if you are here can you help an old smartphony user ?

Does anyone know if the Widcomm stack supports handsfree profile?

Because for me this is the major lack of the Bluetooth stack in XDAII....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Fred Lemas:
Re: this the best I can do

Thanks a lot for this advice, but if I was in a position of doing this today I wouldn't have asked ! In fact I do not have this week the 4 hours that my device current setup needs to come back to work from a hard reset, so that's why I posted in this forum, just in case of someone what around there for any help or good mood talking...

So in fact your previous answer whas simply a joke meaning "I don't know" ... ok got it now... Belgium to French to English translations should have altered the thinking....

That could be an interesting point because we have conducted many experimentations here with many build of the

Widcom stack on the Qtek and none as ever showed a way to have audio routed to ANY bluetooth device

. So if you hace examples of device that seems to have worked .. just let us know...

Never be sure to know what and who you are talking to, you don't know me or my different nicknames and what I'm doing in this PDA area...But if you really think that the capabilities are directly linked to the number of post in this kind of forum that is nice of you...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bruxelles5:
Re: this the best I can do

Why don't you use a program called "Backup PLus" or "Sprite Backup" from http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/products.html

You can allways backup in your SD card, all your settings, programs etc... and you can restore everything in less than 3 minutes (usually 1.5 min )

I used to reinstall all programs and settings one by one, until I found this Sprite Backup.

Maybe you can look at this first, before you decide to try the BT update.

So long

**********

Voici un post trouvé sur un autre forum a propos du stack BT et du CAB :

Pour moi le cab fonctionne très bien mais pour cela il faut supprimer pas mal de référence à la stack BT de Microsoft. Malheureusement un fichier CAB n'est pas capable de supprimer une clé dans la base de registre donc ce cab est du bricolage faudrait faire un truc propre avec un exe qui supprime les anciennes références. Je pense que je vais me lancer lorsqu'on aura une pile BT WidComm pour PocketPC Phone Edition car celle-ci n'est malheureusement destiné qu'aux PocketPC d'où de nombreux problèmes avec les oreillettes.

Et le gars de conclure :

PS : Je ne participe pas trop sur xda dev car je trouve l'ambiance surtout francophone très mauvaise....

Comme quoi, il va falloir faire un effort messieurs les Francophones.

So long brother

i-mate 1.72

I have no idea what half of you are talking about (lets all post in our native language) but I tried this Widcomm BT stack and could not get the audio streaming to the BT headset (nokia HS-3W) to work even though it switched off the MP audio and said that it was connected to the headset.

Playing around with the settings frooze the PDA. When resetting the device it went completely dead, even hard-reset was not working (which I never experienced before). After I removed the battery for some time it finally started again with a fresh install of WM2003.

Was this BT-stack expected to be compatible with the i-mate 1.72? (I see only HP references at Widcomm) If so I will try again. I really want the audio/voice over the BT headset for TT navigation.

Anyway thanx for the post.

Insuficient Drivers Memory pb... the solution I found...

Simply deactivate the MS BT. When you install the widcomm stack you don't remove the MS one.

SO go to the Bluetooth parameters in the panel control "Parameters" UNcheck everthings and clic start, deactivate the MSBluetooth.

Reset the PDA and it should work.

Smartkeyboard.

I gave so many others the chance, but every other missed features I need.

I need customizable longpress duration, customizable smileys (I even use a smiley key as my mail, meaning it's so much easier to login everywhere) and really important: the whole keyboard must be resizable (because my lcd density on the nexus4 is on 240, wich would mean every keyboard is extremely small).

I also like the arrowkeys in portrait mode and the domainkey (wich I only use for even more shortcut smileys susch as \o/ or ^^ / ^.^)

Oh, and I don't need any prediction, here in switzerland we write in swiss-german, wich doesn't really exist. There is no word prediction or something like that for us.

I used to use the swype keyboard. It's really fast if you get used to it and works nicely. Unfortunately, it doesn't really work on my new phone so I now use the standard android keyboard (at least that's what it says I'm using). Works just like swype so I like it too, even though I prefer Swype.
[General Questions and Answers] AarSyl:
I choose SwiftKey as my favorite. What got my attention at first was the fact that I could change the long press duration for the alternate characters. I generally set mine to 150ms, because my fingers don't spend that much time on a key while I'm typing, and I don't want to wait 500ms for some, and 300ms for some others.

GO keyboard is good also, but the lowest value is 300ms. I also don't like the fact that I just hit the backspace button twice after I type a word.
