I plan on doing this soon.

mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-power-button-repair/

For $40 it seems really reasonable and I can activate my old phone while mine is gone. I e-mailed them my problem and they said it will fix it or money back.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped me so far! I will try to give an update after I send my phone off and maybe a review so then if this topic comes up for more people this thread will help them and they won't have to post a new one!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudzaidotnet:
My Mytouch 4G seems to now do what seems like a minor reboot almost everytime i put the "Home" button. For example, when i'm using my browser, or whatsapp, or facebook, if i hit the Home button on my phone to return to my phone's main screen, it suddenly shows the white (booting) mytouch splash screen for about 4 seconds, then saying "loading..." then returns to the home screen.

Its really annoying. A few months ago it had the infamous boot loop problem, and i had to fix it by doing a factory data reset. Everything has been fine since then (about 5 months ago), but now this issue. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have started using the xbmc android app on my note 2 for a few days, after a few days of use I got a push notification message from tmobile that said to prevent from tethering future mobile hotspot from being block to sign up, but i have not done any tethering at all, and now as of today i just got a message from tmobile again that said my hotspot service was being blocked, now i notice my xbmc app dose not work, why is the xbmc android app using my tethering data how can i make it use my regular mobile data? I am also not rooted and have a stock note 2 if that helps any.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ttabbal:
TMO detects "tethering" by detecting user agents and such. There's no real way to know where the traffic comes from. I suspect the XBMC app just uses standard desktop user agents for its HTTP connections, so got caught by it. If you're streaming from a home connection, try connecting an OpenVPN or SSH tunnel first. The encryption should get you past the retarded block.

How exactly do I do that?

anyone figure this out i have the same issue now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] reeshmd23:
ANYBODY??????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sic_lic1o1:
I Google search and landed on this page. You have the same problem I have for my tmobile note 3. Anyways, I couldn't find any answers to your question yet but I know that either the app 1channel or the icefilm or the dailyflix app causing it. I got the push msg 2nd time saying now my teher has been blocked. I can't get any movies in the 1channel or the icefilm or the dailyflix app to load if I'm on my lte data. But if I turn the wifi on, and go into these apps, it will load just fine. I downloaded the 1channel app from the playstore and that app has 1channel and icefilm in it, it did the same thing. It will not load anything on mobile data but it will load on wifi. So I think its one of those app that causes tmobile to think your tethering. Try different one from Mashup repo. It will work with your data but not the ones that I mentioned.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the 1st push msg text I recieved from tmobile about hostpot tether, those apps still worked fine. As soon as I received the 2nd text about my hotspot tether has been blocked. All those apps stopped loading any videos unless I use wifi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] premiatul:
Did any of you thought to call T-mo customer service?

I am using Sopcast and I received the tethered message, but as soon as I got it, I called them and yelled at them, telling them that I never tether.

That was way back when they first came up with unlimited data.

I don't know what they changed, but never had any problems or any more messages from them and I use A LOT of data watching live TV at least 10 hours a day.

It is worth a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruffryder281:
I found out what the problem is, it all has to do with the xbmc app for android its using a desktop interface which your android device thinks its using a computer thats how your tethering data is being used, but only the xbmc app is using your tethering data any videos you watch will be using your mobile data, for example when you search for movies or tv shows you'll notice xbmc working evertime xbmc is working and searching for content then its using your tethering data, but once you start streaming, it uses your mobile data, so really its only using a really small amout of tethering data when xbmc is searching or updating its plug ins.

Hi,

I buy this battery some days ago and from yestarday i'm using it on my lg p880

Akku Polarcell is this

http://www.ebay.it/itm/PolarCell-Ak...0-BL-53QH-Accu-Batterie-Battery-/330837087057

These are the infos

Compatible with: LG Optimus 4X HD (P880), Optimus L9 (P760), Optimus LTE2.

Replace this battery-type: BL-53QH. Dimensions: approx 58 x 51 x 5 mm. Capacity: 2300 mAh.

*The strongest battery of these models

*Equipped with high quality cells

*checked PolarCell-quality batteries

*No cheap battery, but strictly controlled brand product after all EU norms

*Overcharge protection, heat protection and short circuit protection

*Loaded with original power supply

*High-end Li-ion technology: high capacity without memory effect

Now i'm testing it and report my results..

By now first impression are a bit better respect original lg p880 battery..

In next day i edit this thread adding new info and results..

Other users use this battery?

First Test : RESULTS

I used MIUI cm10 , Slimbean cm10.1 , PAC cm10.2 and with all roms results are very good

Original Battery (2150mAh)

Normal Using (Optimus Prime 2.70 kernel with freq cpu+gpu default,wifi always ON,about 1 hour of 3G,GPS on,agps ON)

Game Using (same as above but using some games)

Result = about 10-12hours of autonomy (with a full charge from 0% to 100%)

Akku Battery (2300mAh)

Normal Using (Optimus Prime 2.70 kernel with freq cpu+gpu default,wifi always ON,about 1 hour of 3G,GPS on,agps ON)

Game Using (same as above but using some games)

Result = about 12-15 hours of autonomy (with a full charge from 0% to 100%)

So by now i think that it works good and seem that works also good for charging..

Naturally i repeat tthese tests again but definitely Akku Polarcell is a good product and important it's similar as dimensions as original battery..

Last thing is about charging : Akku Polaercell heats up less..

If someone else have Akku Polarcell can test and report results..

Next step for me is to measure real mAh of Akku and Original Battery..Results (if possible) soon
[LG Optimus 4X HD] baxtex:
Great initiative!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] m.heydari2016:
Any new results

Dear zicoxx would u share ur results with this new battery?

Are u satisfied ? How long does it take to recharge?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Conquerora:
I used a Polar Cell battery on my previous phone (Galaxy S) and was very satisfied. I am now trying to get rid of some battery draining wakelocks on my 4x and then I consider buying one of these batteries.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] merlykx:
I just bought the 2300mah PollarCell battery and I'll post feedback as soon as I have it. My current battery, the original one, is lasting little over 7h with WiFi and mobile data active. When checking battery usage I see Android SO keeping the phone "awake" for about 6h and not even 2h of screen time.

I'm running CM10.2 and the CPU governor set to interactive (also tried conservative but the results were about the same) and charging my phone twice a day :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
check whats keeping device awake with better battery stats, then you can act accordingly.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] merlykx:
I installed the app and found that the wakelock is due to "baseband_xmm_power". I looked it up on google and found several reports of the same problem, seems to be related to Tegra 3 devices :(

Even with this wakelock I'm getting better battery life with the PollarCell:14h running and still 26% (1h 47m screen time and 6h20m of CPU awake)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
my recommendation is to unlock bootloader, flash custom rom & kernel that has fixed baseband problem, you'll see much bigger standby and onscreen time!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] baxtex:
I think the cm team fixed baseband_xmm_power bug in their latest releases. :)

But i'm also interested in this battery, is it any good?

I have a problem with wakelocks, too. I am running CM 10.1.3 Stable and I get a lot of baseband_xmm_power and wlan_rx_wake wakelocks. I tried different kernels but it's almost the same. When I turn off wi-fi and data the phone can stay at 100% for hours.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] merlykx:
I'm on cm10.2 and solved the baseband_xmm_power wakelock issue using the Optimus Prime kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2328353) :) if I have mobile data and wifi on the battery still doesn't last a day, or even 12h, but if I just turn them on when needed I can get close to 2 days of battery time.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] trikomlabs:
that's the nature of smartphone.. you have to use it in smart way

if you're hungry, do eat.. if you're not, then why bother eat at all...

use it when you need it, that's the point of battery life issue :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dbt0210:
Using it in a smart way doesn't help at all if you have wakelock issues. Half of your battery can be gone over night without using the phone, even with everything off.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] merlykx:
As far as the wakelocks go, the baseband_xmm_power hasn't appeared since I installed the Optimus Prime kernel. I'm getting around 24h of battery (100% to 3-4%) using 3G data only when needed and wifi always on but automatically disabling when not in use.

Has anyone tried a very large battery, like the 4500mah one sold on amazon or the 4300 on ebay?

Im thinking of trying..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] :
Don't buy those, they are fake, I bought 4300 mAh one and it's worse then stok battery, can't get a full day on one charge with it. If you want a good extended battery spend more than 30$.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Coolneng:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] sylarm:
Hi all,

Some one have more stats about this battery?

I'm thinking to buy one, because I need more battery life.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Coolneng:
Well I don't get a lot more battery life with it. Good thing is that I use as primary battery and LG original one as a replacement in my pocket. So if I don't have any battery left, I switch them. What I like about it it's that phone doesn't heat up anymore, which is why I bought this one and not an original LG one.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TheSkyline35:
Hi

Anybody know a battery who have 3000mAh (or little less) for the 4X HD ? Because 2300 it's not really interested, and 4000 it's too more (too thick) ?

EDIT -----------------

I have found a 2500mAh and a big 4500mAh (very ugly ^^) but i can't link it because i'm a new user and i can't do it...blabla, search on Ebay.

With 2500 i think you can have more about 3 hours screen on !?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Keep in mind that third party batteries tend to be as not a high quality as the originals.

However, It is entirely possible to get 3+ hours on stock battery depending on what you're doing.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TheSkyline35:
I can't do 3 hours screen with the original, the best is 2h15 for me ...

So, another batteries with more mAh are not high quality so can have a less autonomy ?

:( 4X HD or the badest autonomy of the word ^^
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
You might get an extra hour if the battery is decent but there's no way to tell unless you try it
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TheSkyline35:
Sure...

onite 4800 mah battery

Hi all

I bought last week a new battery. It's the 4800 mah from ONITE you can fiund on amazon dot com (just search p880 onite).

I wanted to share my impressions: huge but good.

I have'nt used it to o% yet (i charge every night) so i cant' give exact stats, but useing 4h+ of screen on leaves with a 40% of remaining battery so i can just estimate.. 6h? Normally I arrive at midnight with 40%+ of battery life. And I hafe wifi+3G always on.

So for 15 eu it's a deal.

Drawbacks? It's HUGE! Phone gets twice as thick and twice as heavy! You can modify (ruin) a silicon case to fit the fone but it's a bit bulky at the end.

I just wanted to state that... it's just as big and lastly as it states.

ciao
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TheSkyline35:
Thank for the report, anybody have the 4100mah ? Less ugly ?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tcm9669:
I bought this battery from Germany a few days ago and I received it yesterday. It had 43% charge when I put it in and I let it charge overnight.

The battery itself seems sturdy, with a good casing. Very different from the stock and the cheap ones you get from china!! This feels way more sturdy.

As for stats this morning so far, with low to mild usage it's 90% after 2.5 hours with 3G on, not too impressed... but I will update later when I'm done for the day :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] paolotheking:
CIao ne approfitto per risponderti in italiano, :)

Avevo già letto commenti positivi sulla durata. Ma nel tempo, immagino che la qualità della carica va via via diminuendo. Tu da quanto tempo la hai? Hai notato cali?

Altra domanda, quanto tempo impiega per una carica completa? 4-5ore?

L'eccessivo riscaldamento del nostro device (praticamente un forno), non rischia di danneggiarla? Non essendo una batteria originale potrebbe soffrire le temperature eccessive. O magari mi sbaglio ed è di buona qualità anche questa :D

Scusa se mi sono dilungato e ciao :good:

Akku Polar battery, didn't last as much as I would have hoped (didn't last full day). Although I heavily used 3G, so I guess it did OK. Not sure if it's any better than stock.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Did you notice any reduction in heat?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tcm9669:
While charging I didn't notice any heat. But I didn't play any heavy graphics games (which is when it usually heats a lot), so I can't say in that regards.

Hi

has something changed in the meanwhile or is 2200mAh the real capacity?

I have found an NFE2 Edition (25€) with 2300mAh - but in OPs link it is also 2200mAh (14,90€)

how are your longtime experiences?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LeonardHofstadter:
Hi,

I'm using the Polar Cell Battery for a little over 6 months now. Already degraded from 2300mAh to 1900mAh. Also the reported Battery level is always kind of tricky: e.g. it remains on 72% for several hours and then drops to 45% or lower within minutes (at constant load).

Besides that, the overall Battery life is quite ok. Although I expected a little more difference to the original Battery.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Aiolizator:
Hi, I've just bought this battery for my wife's Optimus 4X.

Since I've replaced the original battery with this one, the phone restarts just after displaying the numeric keyboard for typing the pincode. Any idea to fix it? Thanks by advance.

EDIT : I've managed to see an error message, saying "use a genuine battery".

A hard reset did not fix the problem.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
There is a thread in Q&A about the same message, I found and posted the fix there.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] CustomROMs:
Baseband

How does changing the baseband influence the battery? I thought the ROM contained the baseband automatically. My stock ROM had a different baseband than my CyanogenMod.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
it didn't. atleast on optimus 4x.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] CustomROMs:
Basebank in General

On my stock Android from LG, I have Baseband L6260_MODEM_SIC_02.1233.00.

On the latest CM 11.2 Nightly 25.8.2014, I have Baseband LGP880AT-00-V20b-EUR-XXX-JUL-17-2013.

I am not exactly certain, what changing the baseband would accomplish in any regard. Though I do have extreme mobile connectivity issues. I loose signal after a while (few minutes to a few hours), and I need to reboot. I am considering the baseband as a potential problem in this regard, but not for battery reasons.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
These correspond the same, stock and custom roms display a different identifier for baseband.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] CustomROMs:
So what does my baseband mean exactly? Can I (should I) change it?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
It's the software that manages the low-level radio stuff. You can change it, there is a tutorial. Should you? Depends. If you have network issues, sometimes another (manily ICS) baseband is said to solve the problems, otherwise there is no need.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] CustomROMs:
As I am using the above baseband, I think it is from JellyBean (this is how my phone came from LG). Unfortunately, I am having problems with the network being dropped after a few hours. It is making me want to return to the LG stock ROM. The problem is not present when I restore the phone to stock, but with the latest CM 11.2 nightly, the network irreparably drops and "no network" empty triangle is displayed. So this could be an issue. Not sure why. Using CM 10.1.3 stable also is no help. Not certain if the baseband is the issue.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
It is not a baseband issue. Only stock rom has proper RIL recovery so it is the only one that properly works when the network crashes.

We're going slightly off-topic by the way. :p

Hi everyone!

Premise: my Xperia S isn’t rooted or something like that, it’s such as new and it still runs ICS.

Now, the problems are two:

Camera: it works correctly vertically, but when I rotate it, it works only if I rotate the pone to the left. If I rotate it to the right, display shows buttons like if it was rotated to the left.

Another thing: if I use camera vertically, when I press Home button, task manager shows like this:

Is this normal?

Video camera: it only works rotated to the left. It doesn’t work if rotated to the right and vertically. So when I record a video vertically, it records like if it was rotated to the left, and when I play the video using stock player, it rotates and can’t watch it vertically.

So, I think “Camera” and “Video Player” apps are the problem.

I did a settings reset but nothing changed…

What do you recommend?

Note: Automatic rotation in Settings is activated.

Thank you!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
why don't you update it?

I would like to solve this problem now, because I think it could still persist on Jelly Bean.

Now, if I reinstall ICS flashing it, could it be solved?

probably as they are both system apps so will be overwritten by new with a flash/update etc
