[HTC One S] Kal-El7:
My apologies.....

I did not intend to suggest that I use Titanium Backup to install the talk.apk. I use TB to uninstall the system apk's only. Then I reboot. Then i can install Talk, then reboot, then launch the application. I flash so, so many ROMS and I reflash incremental updates by doing full wipes so many times that I can honestly tell you that using Titanium Backup in this method never, ever fails me. If I want to delete Hangouts, I uses TB to uninstall it. Then after that I'll use Solid Explorer to go looking for the old Google Talk apk and simply install that the normal, usual way. Sometimes you may get a message that the install did not work, but that doesn't mean anything. In those cases I just reboot.

You should be fine afterwards.

Please let me know if you have trouble.

Thanks.

Also, Darknites is correct. I can restore backups from within TB as well.
[HTC One S] jsmuli2:
Phone doesn't boot now that I removed the system app via TB, any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

I guess I made the mistake of not trying to install talk before the reboot

**** I gotta start completely over eh?
[HTC One S] Kal-El7:
lol.....you'll be alright, my friend.

I flash so many ROMS and I do many re-wipes over and over again, that I try different sequences. So, for example, most ROMS come with Talk, right? Then, I forget to DETACH the talk.apk (using Titanium Backup) from the Google Play Store so that it won't automatically update to Hangouts. BUT, in the case if it does update (or if in the case you installed a ROM with Hangouts preinstalled), you should be able to remove Hangouts by uninstalling it from within Titanium Backup. Certainly it's not the only way, but it's one of the ways and the one single way I've always used to remove Hangouts. After removing Hangouts, even if you restarted the phone prior to attempting to install Talk.apk - there really should not be any reason that your phone hangs. If your phone doesn't boot after removing Hangouts, I'm willing to bet that's merely coincidental because Hangouts is not an integral part of the OS, it's just a social app and nothing more.

If you can't reboot, then restore your nandroid (I'm assuming that you created a nandroid before attempting to mess with any part of the system, correct?) and then try again.

Personally, if I removed Hangouts, I tried to install Talk.apk immediately after that. Sometimes it goes through, sometimes it does not. BUT, I always, always try at least. Then, only after evidence that the Talk.apk didn't install right away, then at that point I've rebooted the phone by long-pressing the power button and selecting to hard-reboot (not soft-reboot or hot-reboot). After the phone comes back on again, then I give Talk.apk another shot. It should go through.

Check back with me after you're done. I'm stepping out now, so I gotta walk away from my laptop, but I'll be back later on.

Best wishes.

Cheers.

Also, you can either tap on the Talk.apk to attempt to install it like that or you can "push" it into the System/App folder. I used to do that with Root Explorer, but now I do that with Solid Explorer. Why? Because with Root Explorer you'll have to fix permissions right after pushing any app straight into the System/App folder. With Solid Explorer, as this explorer pushes the app into System/App it automatically adjusts the permissions in real-time. Works for me 100% of the time. =) It's just one less step for me to have to micro-manage.
[Windows RT General] wccndragon:
Hi im new to the site and fairly new to the Microsoft surface. like a noob I didn't really read to much on the surface before I bought it. Didn't realize that it was running an ARM processor. But once I figured that out I did some research online, came across this site learned bout the jailbreak and x86 emulator. Now I love my little surface despite what others are complaining bout online. Im not even gonna bother upgrading to a pro anytime soon, pretty content. everyday I come and check to see if there have been any new ports added or any upgrades to the x86 emulator. (sorry for the rambling) Now my question is.. With the emulator can it or will it in the future have the ability to run Ventrilo? Thank you for your time and any help that may be provided..
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
There's actually already a thread for such questions, but to take it here: I haven't tested Vent (have you?), but I suspect it's a little beyond the emulator's capabilities right now. However, there's a pretty good chance that it will be supported in the future. Hardware-wise, Surface RT can certainly run it even with the emulation overhead (although it will use more CPU than you might expect). Software-wise, I don't believe Vent relies on any of the features that were cut from Windows RT, so that shouldn't be a problem.

With that said, a possibly better approach would be to to ask the Ventrilo devs to build a Windows Store version of the app, including an ARM version. That way it will run natively and will not require jailbreaks or emulators.
[Windows RT General] wccndragon:
Thank you for the replies. Did some further research and it appears they are in the works of making an ARM version of Ventrilo.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gabrielpina4:
So LG optimus g pro which has yet to come out anywhere or sell already has there own forum yet Verizon version of the s4 which comes out this Thursday still doesn't lol hahahaha xda what's going on here lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ap3604:
Get your facts straight:

- Verizon S4 isn't in retail stores yet.

- LG Optimus G Pro was in AT&T retail stores as of May 10th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rednoved:
It is still ridiculous that there is no Verizon S4 forum yet. Considering Verizon is the United States largest service provider, and the S4 is considered the flagship phone of Samsung and probably Verizon. The phone releases in less than 4 days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ap3604:
If the LG Optimus G Pro can get a forum 4 days after it's retail release, you can bet that the moderators will make one for the Verizon S4 as well.

Until then... quit whining.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rednoved:
The GS3 was the best selling android phone of all time. The GS4 is the next big thing. It's here. Development has started. Verizon posts and threads have begun to clutter the other forums. t's time for a Verizon forum. Some phones get their forums months in advanced, asking for one a few days before release isn't asking much, and very far from whining.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] barondebxl:
Don't worry, there will be a Verizon S4 forum very soon ( I assume) but there will be one for sure. Sit tight ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kennyx13:
i dont know if there is already a thread here or not for this, but I am interested in knowing which do you guys think is a very good powerbank?

right now, what i have are the K3 powerporta 11000mAh powerbank and the Ful powerbag.

The k3 seemed nice but after a few uses, it did not charge my gadgets properly anymore, it had 11000 mah and i would expect it to charge my phone a number of times before dying out, which it did a few weeks, then started to deminish in effectivity.

Let me know your insights guys.

I just ordered this one from Amazon for $42. Verizon is selling the same one for $99.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Anthony04x:
Well I have the 5200 mah version and it works great, dropped it a few times on concrete and didnt break or malfunction or anything. Solid build and great customer service if you have any problems if you order it

I have the 10Ah version that has the USB connectors for Android and iphone, works great. Perfect for charging at camp.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] arosadojr87:
Thats exactly what I want it for :)

But now someone suggested to review the PowerGen 12000mAh (Amazon Link and now I have no idea what to do -_-
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cpufrost:
Wow that looks like mine with the circle LEDs. It has three output jacks and reviews look good. For $50 I'd say it's a good deal.

FWIW I plugged my S4 into my Anker 10Ah at around 12:10 local time. It's now 12:52 so 42 minutes later. My batt was at 71%. It's now at 98%. Galaxy current shows 1900mA (top of the scale). You do have to use a good cord. The included cord nets less. Believe it or not the cord I get good results with came from a Vizio brand 2A charger that was in the discount bin at the local Target for $4.99!

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cpufrost:
Not really. You can make your own pack with 18650 cells from laptop packs but you need to come up with a charger for the pack as well as a regulator to put out ~2A at 5V for USB. As cheap as these things are it's not worth the effort unless you like doing this kind of thing. ;)

I love it. It charges three device s at once and it comes with different attachments for other devices, It also looks nice. At the time, I was trying to deside on either this one, a 10000mah one, or a 11000mah. Glad I bought the 12000. I have a S4 & N7, and my mom has the S3 & a Galaxy Tab 10.1. Then there's my dad's phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vectron:
I have reviewed a number of External Batteries (power banks) from Anker, Yoobao, and New Trent: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192333 - scroll down to battery section.

One thing to keep in mind - the mAh rating on the label is NOT the actual capacity. The actually capacity will be 30% less because the battery inside of the external case has to convert it's output through usb/micro-usb 5V connector and there is 30% efficiency loss. All the types have a solid built and deliver without a problem.

What you have to keep in mind - the higher the capacity, the more the weight of the battery. You need to have at least 1A input, higher will be better. mAh will determine how long the battery will charge - 1A= 1000mA per hour, so something like 10000 mAh will take you at least 10 hours to charge. If you have 1.5A or 2A input - it will charge the Battery Bank faster. The output - you also need 1A or 2A outputs. 2A will charge your phone faster. Also, for Samsung phones (N2 and S4) Apple port doesn't matter - Samsung is capable of charging from Apple port at full speed.

Overally, I would go with Anker because they offer 18-month warranty, really stick behind their product with customer support, and guarantee grade-A batteries with min of 500 cycles.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cpufrost:
Also it's important to note that cell capacity is typically expressed in C rating, a divisor of the rating. For example a C/10 discharge rating of a 10Ah pack is 1A for ten hours. If discharging at 10A the actual run to protection (point where power is cut) is much less than an hour. It also means that 100mA will last even longer than 100 hours, etc. There are conversion losses in the circuitry but well designed drivers (PWM) are actually very efficient (if well made). A really bad one (resistor only!) would be quite horrible (not to mention somewhat dangerous) but one gets the idea...

A pack that can deliver 10A for 1 hour actually has a considerably higher rating than 10Ah! Also beware that really inexpensive packs can far over-exaggerate their capacities much in the way that cheap car amplifiers flat out lie about output or put down peak numbers, etc. You get what you pay for, if the price sounds too good to be true, it most likely is!

Finally, when dealing with Li-poly cells you want to go with a trusted manufacturer, always. Cheap packs may not have adequate protection from over temperature, over charging, etc. Hit up youtube and check out li poly fires, for example. That's not something you want to have in your gear bag...going up in smoke!

Good point, I did find one for 50$ and thought it had to be too good to be true.

naztech 10,800mamp vs Mycharge Peak6600

i have two, naztech 10800mamps and Mycharge Peak6600, i prefer the naztech as 5 USB ports can charge simultaeneously. I have tried with 2 nexus 7 and two phones charging simultaeneously and a camera. The naztech can take a beating and i have been using this exclusiively almost daily for 2 months and it works fine. The peak6600 is cool but irritating as it keeps announcing connections and disconnections which is irritating if you have it in a waist pouch for charging your camera on the go during trips out. My samsung WB850F smart wifi caera with GPS can eat through 3 batteries easily and still not have charge if i use it heavily on my trips for videos but since i got the naztech i can go all day with the amoled screen on and wifi and gps on and the camera will be on full charge at end of the day while charging my phone too at the same time.

I have learned the hard way that the fairly cheap ones are all crap quality and fake rated at best.

So I finally ended up buying a Chill Innovation PB-8800 Power bank with 8800mah and I wish I just did this to begin with. It is not very cheap, but that is probably also why it actually works as promised :)

It is a Danish design made in collaboration with Samsung I believe, so looks great and works great. It can keep my Ascend P1 running for more than a week when travelling.

None of the others I have had could reach this even though they were advertised with even higher mAh than the Chill ;)

powergen

i ended up buying the powergen pack from amazon. I bought the one that has 13000mAh and I am very very pleased with it. It is not in the high price range and it is made with li-poly and not li-ion. li-poly is better at holding a charge but tends to be expensive and a little heavy;which is the reason why celphone batteries are made with li-ion.

Anyway, I am able to charge my s4 to full around 7-9 times before the battery dies out. and it charges my s4 to full in about 1 hour - 2 hours which is quite amazing especially when you need it really bad.

I bought a Lumsing 11000mAh power bank from amazon, it have 5 x USB. Very good value for the battery capacity. Good looking, functions well, small size for capacity, good ergonomics. I am picky and I researched products and this one gets 5 stars for both functinality and value! NOTE: When using the 1A port with my HTC One, the inlcuded Lumsing cable allowed abut 800 mA per the "Battery Monitor Widget" application from the Google Play Store (charges in about 4 hours). Using the HTC One cable on the 1A port I only saw about 350 mA (charges in about 8+ hours). However, using the 1.3A port, the Lumsing cable provided up to 910 mA, and the HTC One cable provided 880 mA. In other words, the non-Lumsing cables were slow in the 1A port, but were OK in the 1.3A port. The Lumsing cable worked fine in both ports. I got similar results using a Samsung Galaxy S3 cable, and a MediaBridge cable. A thin 10' red cable only saw up to 300 mA on both the 1A and 1.3 A ports.

only $32.99.
