My car charger is the same. 2.1A port for tablets and stuff. 1A port for everything else. I have noticed that if I plug my s3 in the 2.1A port, it charges slightly faster. However, it's not even close to my 1A wall charger.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Valdagor:
Any idea at all?

Thanks :)

Dual Usb Car Charger

Hi, if you are looking for a best usb car charger for your device then i have a option for you. Please check my profile and fo to the link in my bio.. Thank you
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jake Vdub:
I recall back with my old phone (Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V), the lead devs teamed up and made a flashable patch that allowed you to toggle fast charging on and off, basically telling the phone whether it should consider the power source a USB or Wall charger and it worked good. Maybe we can get some people to team up and build that for the S3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Otyokwa:
I recently reinstalled the factory stock ice cream sandwich onto my Verizon galaxy s3. After this, I rooted it and tried to install a custom recovery. However, it would not install it. I tried installing the recovery from goomanager and the one from cyanogenmod (both previously installed on different occasions). Neither would install. I then installed voodoo rootkeeper so I could update my phone to jellybean 4.1.2. As I was going through the updates, rootkeeper was able to restore my root until the last update. Now when I try to restore my root it says "root su restored" but it does not restore the root. I am also no longer able to obtain root from scratch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] blackout:
I am developping a program that use serial port to connect a device.

That device use 2 wire communication (only RX and TX) so i set

2020i Serial in order to disable hardware handshake and modem

controls (CTS, RTS, DTR and DSR). But it doesn't works!!!

I investigated and i found that 2020i uses Standard UART port

(Address 0x4070000). Datasheet of pxa270 says that Standard UART

doesn't manage modem control, so why my 2020i needs it? Is there

some other hardware that controls serial port inside? How could i

disable hardware handshake?

And last, had someone connected a GPS receiver using serial port of

2020i?

I know that perhaps it is a too tech topics, but if someone can help me...

cheers,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] badboyz:
I would like to update to mf3 but after doing the ota update it reboots to recovery but I now have twrp instead of the required stock recovery...

After doing a lot of searching the only solution I found was to flash the official firmware with odin, but I'm assuming I will have to do a factory reset after this?

Is it possible to replace twrp with the stock recovery without having to do a factory reset or is there another way to get the mf3 update with twrp? (I'd rather not have to re-install all my apps and settings)

I hope my questions make sense its late and I'm tired.

There is always a risk of screwing something up...so read the thread, follow the directions, and decide if you want to take the risk..it's your decision.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bigbabyjesus:
Why not just flash a sweet custom rom like omega v9.0? That's the best thing about a custom recovery. It makes it easy to back up your current content and then try out a wide variety of mods and roms.

It's kinda counter productive to flash a stock recovery when you are trying to mod or customize your phone.

Odin is the cats butthole when trying to return to stock. Also, read the poop out of these threads... somebody has done what you want to do already so most things can be resolved with the solutions others have presented.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
The OP said he wants to update to MF3. I can't figure out why anyone would willingly do so either, but it is his decision. Personally I would also just flash one of the MF3 ROMs or International updated ROMs and still have the ability to use custom recovery with the benefits (I don't really think there are any) of MF3.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] conjurous:
A year ago I had rooted the phone and such and had rogue recovery on it with some ice cream sandwich rom I cannot remember. I lost my job so my phone was left on a table for over a year. I want to use it now, but it does not turn on and I am clueless if its something malfunctioning with the phone or if it has anything to do with these things I did a year ago. It was working fine before I stopped using it.

I left the phone charging overnight (I could see a blinking blue light in the top right so I figured it was working) I woke up and the phone was pretty hot, but not SUPER hot. I hardly even used the phone... it had like 2-3 months of actual casual use before I stopped using it.

Is it just dumpster recycle material now? I've tried removing battery and some things but there isn't much information I can find anywhere.

Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Have you tried booting into download or recovery? Try that :) if you can do that, all is not lost. Just flash a one click(if you can only get to Odin) or the Rom, kernel, modem, of choice from recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Being that it was working then sat for a year I would say the battery is shot. You said blinking blue light. Either you have no kernel (unlikely) or your battery is beyond repair. Buy a new battery and get some jellybean on there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] conjurous:
Yeah well I hardly remember anything about these androids and such. I've tried getting into what I assume was rogue recovery by holding volume up and then pressing power ( also tried holding power doing this) and many other combinations. Nothing happens. The blinking blue light is only there when the battery is in. I've tried charging it again and after about 10 minutes the phone itself is REALLY hot. The battery is not hot at all. No idea what is going on. Would I be able to boot the phone with no battery and just directly connected to power to test if its the battery or not? or is this type of phone a no go with that kind of strategy? I've tried it obviously and it does not turn on. It frustrates me how I never even got to use this phone and now I'm screwed it seems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Do ypu have an external battery charger? If not you can go to sprint (assuming you are on good terms now) and ask them to check the battery for you. I do not think the phone boots without a battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] conjurous:
Well Sprint will probably want to make me pay my way past due bill and crap before even looking at the battery! I'll try to ask one of my android fanatics IRL if hes got an external charger or something.

Blinking blue LED means battery failure. Need a new battery. They are pretty cheap on amazon and ebay. You can either go OEM, or extended.

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

Let me elaborate on why your battery failed. Lithium Ion batteries have this little annoyance with how they need to be used. Say you use your phone until it dies. Well the battery still has about 20 to 30% left in it, but not enough to fully power the phone on. When the battery sits doing nothing, it will drop till it is completely depleted. This causes the battery to ultimately break, making it almost impossible to charge below 15% and a complete failure comes when it drops all of its charge.

Now don't mistake what I am telling you for what your phone says the charge is at. Your battery will still have a charge even when the phone say 0%, I can also prove this with my phone being modified with an always on LED I installed. I can keep this LED on for a couple days after the battery loses its ability to power the phone. I however never push it too far or I would not be able to charge the battery again.

Basically, you let the battery lose all of its remaining charge, ultimately making it useless.

hi, i moded the atrix LD little bit. since there is not a phone jack and the speakers ain´t the best of this cosmic so i decided to soldering an phone plug. u can use it with ur headphones or with better external boxes. it very simple and it works.

what to do? open the lapdock and cut off the cable to the speaker. take an extension audio plug cable. cut off the cable. now solder the cutted cable of the ld with audio plug cable. thats all! it works well and the sound is very nice now. for travelling with the ld it is better to watch movies or utubes vids with the headphone. cost of the mode:50 cents!

Nice reviews! I've been a fan of Anker products since I came across them about a year ago. I own numerous car/home chargers made by them.

I've been wanting a battery pack/charger for some time but there are so many sizes/types/brands available it makes my head hurt.

Thanks for helping me narrow down the choices a bit! :cool:

Grab a beer, and head over to my complete review section in the link of the signature :) Actually, that will not help you much with narrowing stuff down since I have dozens of external batteries in there, but at least reviews will give you more details :D
[General Accessories] majingrim:
Great reviews! I'm considering buying the Anker Slim3, since I just broke my Slim 2 (don't carry it in your back pocket while on a 2-hour drive). Would you be able to get a picture of it next to a smartphone? I've got the HTC One and I'd like to be able to see how it compares in size. The Slim 2 was great, and the only time I ran it dry was when I lent it out to three other people who had dead phones. Of course, theirs were a lot smaller in size.

Actually, you mentioned the Slim 2 in your review, maybe a picture with one on top of the other? I'm just terrible at visualizing the size of things from measurements.
[General Accessories] fomokole:
Nice reviews, by the way i like your desk.
[General Accessories] Angus66:
The Astro Slim3 6000 mAh finally came back in stock so I ordered one to try out.

One thing I'm liking about this battery over others is the finish. A majority of the battery packs available currently (including many by Anker themselves) have a glossy finish which is extremely scratch prone. I prefer a matte finish for both aesthetics and grip.

I'm looking for a pull tab case for said battery, anyone know which one will fit?

The battery is the size of LG 4X (4.7"), but thicker. If anyone uses one already, please suggest one, otherwise I'll go to a store and try all of them out.

So anker size is : 5.3 x 2.7 x 0.47

The closest I've found so far is Lumia 920 at 5.13 x 2.79 x 0.42. Do you think it would fit? :)

edit:

none fit. I went to a store and tried every single one of them and except for the one made for Note, all were too small. The Note one, however, was too big.
[General Accessories] razor5cl:
My Astro 3E came fully charged. That's good because it takes a long time to charge otherwise (one night to charge one quadrant)
[General Accessories] issak42:
Thats really wierd, it has 6A capacity, input rate is 1A so if you charge it with charger >1A, it should take no longer then 6 hours (add one for good measure), trough USB port (0,5A), it should theoretically take 12 hours to charge.
[General Accessories] razor5cl:
Yeah when I say night I meant sort of 6-8 hours. That's still around 20 hours for the whole thing, but who cares when I can charge two phones at once, twice!

Sent from my Nexus 4
[General Accessories] issak42:
And when I say 6hrs I mean fully charge, not just 25%. It's weird that it takes so long...

I haven't had to recharge mine just yet (I'm mostly home until october), so I don't know exactly. But yes, it should hold enough capacity to charge 4 phones :D

edit:

So I fully charged the Lumia 720 (2000mAh battery), half of Arc S and half Nexus 7 and Anker was drained. It did however fully recharge in less then 12 hours (I plugged it in around 19.00 and left it until next morning when it was full) so not even close to 20 hours. I was charging it with >1A charger, maybe you were charging it on the computer USB port (500mA) in which case yes, it takes forever.
[General Accessories] tt c6:
So what do you think of these results I documented with my Slim 3 ?????

After unboxing my brand new Anker Slim 3, I fully charged it, fully discharged it, and fully charged it again.

I wanted to test the new Slim 3 to see it's charge times, and capacity, so I chose a weekend day so I would have very little usage of my phone.

I proceeded to cycle through fully draining, then recharging, my Motorola Photon Q LTE's internal 1785mah battery until the Anker Slim 3 was fully depleted.

- 11:30 AM Saturday: Anker Slim 3 fully charged and Motorola Photon Q LTE @ 9% @ 11:30am

- 1:39 PM Saturday Photon Q LTE charged to 100%. Anker Slim3 has 3 shining dots left (2:09 hours of charging)

- 12:00 AM Sunday Motorola Photon Q LTE at 4%. Slim 3 is strangely at 2 shining dots. (although, it had 3 dots when I unplugged it last from the Photon Q) (Motorola Photon Q LTE discharges 96% in 10:21 hours)

- 2:15 AM Sunday: Motorola Photon Q LTE at 100%. Slim 3 at 1 shining dot. (2:15 hours of charging)

(Motorola Photon Q LTE discharges 25% down to 75% battery life while sitting on a dresser for 8 hours)

- 7:30 PM Sunday Motorola Photon Q LTE at 1% and connected to Anker Slim 3 with 1 shining dot.

(Motorola Photon Q LTE discharges in 17:15 hours )

- 8:05 PM Sunday Slim 3 stops charging and 1 last light goes dim. Motorola Photon Q LTE left with 40% charge

I love the Anker Slim size and form factor.

I just bought the Slim 3 to replace my Slim 2 that suddenly stopped working without reason.

Other than the fact that my Slim 2 died without reason, I would recommend the Anker Slim line.
[General Accessories] Jesiah:
Nice Review indded.

Any chance to see a size comparison between the slim2 and slim3?

Can't determine which one would fit better in my accessory bag :D

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Costas86:
I have certain friends that use either ATT or Tmobile, and sometimes when they text, they go off and send maybe 4-6 texts one right after the other. If I try to text back as I'm receiving texts I get an error message, I think it says Error message 34. I also notice that if I try to send multiple texts like that, the little loading icon comes up and they slowly get sent off one by one. I had the same problem with my HTC EVO 3D on Sprint and even my Palm Pre, they're all so painfully slow when it comes to texting.

My only remedy around this has been to use Google Voice and text using data with my other number, but I don't really give it out to anyone so it wouldn't make sense to do that, plus it can't receive picture mail.

Is this just a flaw of Sprint? I'm using the oem texting app. If you want to replicate this issue, you could use google voice on your computer to try to send multiple texts to your phone and try to text back with your phone as you're receiving them. Your text will either hang there for a while and eventually send maybe 30-40 seconds later, or it will just error out and you have to manually resend it.

edit: just realized that this thread may be in the wrong section.. I don't see a delete option unfortunately :\
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Yes it is in the wrong section. It should be in Q / A . Ask a Mod to please move it. As for your issue I would lean toward it being a Network issue. Reason being, I've run into it before. Check online, or call Sprint. Ask them if they are doing any work in your area. You can also try Updating PRL /Profile. If that still does not resolve it you can try ##72786# . That will reset your Data. Make sure you leave it alone, and let it finish.
