If the device requests the 500mA, the Venue Pro will provide it (at the expense of shorter battery life).

It will definitely not do 1 Amp though.

I had used one of those digital USB multimeters to check it in a store. Then again, I made so many modifications to the system registry that I might have done something that DELL would not have approved of in the hardware specifications.
[Windows 8 General] glussier:
No, it won't provide 500mA. If it was it would power a portable usb external hard-drive, but it can't.
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
You are correct. I just looked back at the stock specs online. I had made modifications to one our test units to provide some power since I didn't want to walk around with a powered USB hub all the time. I used 2 diodes and a resistor to connect the 2 X 3.7V cells in the unit to produce a something worth sharing when I can conclude that this mod is safe to do in a few months (of the internal cells not being destroyed with continued use of this method).
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Not safe. You have bypassed the undervoltage protection (LiPo cells are damaged by being drained below safe levels) and your output will not be 5v either. LiPo cells fully charged are about 4.2V and should auto-cutoff at 3.0V Total pack voltage is therefore 8.4V to 6V. One presumes you are using 2 diodes with a 1.2V drop? This would leave a 5v rail varying from 6V to 3.6V depending on the state of battery charge, USB devices are specced for 4.8-5.2V
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
You are correct. I see that you too are very technically inclined.

Please note that this is just one of my test units (not my actual DV8P that I have for personal use or store important data on), so destroying the battery isn't a concern to me (once it doesn't blow up in my face or spontaneously catch fire).

I've given up on trying to keep the voltage stable. The components will also heat up pretty quickly making the voltage fluctuations worse, but I only did this trick as a "proof of concept" since Microsoft wouldn't allow it to pass certification.
[Windows 8 General] Arghyadeep:
Can it run Odin??
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
It can "run" the application.

However, since it only provides 100mA through the MicroUSB port, it would not successfully flash your phone due to the higher power requirements (when your phone reboots into download mode). You would most likely brick your phone if the flashing process begins, but can't be completed successfully).
[Windows 8 General] Arghyadeep:
If i use powered usb hub..???
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
Don't risk it.
[Windows 8 General] iflip:
I have the device and it will run Odin but will not read the device with the otg connector plugged in. Hardware limitations I guess. I was super excited to install fw via Odin but unfortunately it will not read the device via otg. If anyone finds a workaround for this lemme know.?:cool:
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
It WILL read the device using a powered USB hub, but I hypothesise that you will brick the device once you've started the flashing device and it reboots (ODIN would most likely not see the device on the hub after that).
[Windows 8 General] XTCrefugee:
I've used odin with a hub before without any issues...?

If you do the hub/adapter mod so that devices are powered by the AC adapter rather than OTG (or just use a regular powered hub and a standard non-OTG cable) I don't see why there would be any problems.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Alternately one of these will do:

They allow external power on a USB device without having to use a hub.
[Windows 8 General] xboxexpert:
USB Controller in the Dell Venue 8 Pro

So since there are two open usb bus ports I decided to take advantage of one for a Kingston 64GB USB...mounted it all nicely tucked away in that area you see free on the right.

Attached are pics
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
Nice, these are the mods that I like to see. Do you know if there are GPS modules like this as well?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Most GPS modules utilise a UART rather than USB, so unless someone can find a UART on the motherboard (it would usually appear in device manager though) you'll need a USB>TTL adaptor such as the FTDI series chips or the CP2102 (the prolific pl2303 is an option too but in my experience is prone to not holding the correct baud rate and its driver support is absolutely terrible, especially on windows 8). I personally use FTDI devices, more expensive than all rivals but you do get what you pay for on the quality and driver support front.

I think internal GPS hack might be doable but you'll be pushed for size limitations considering you need 2 chips + antenna.
[Windows 8 General] xboxexpert:
I actually decided to put a send-in service up for this specific modification.

I've been using this tablet for a while and so far I am very satisfied with it. Having a complete Windows 8 computer in your pocket (almost, if you have big pockets), it's not a small thing mates. You get all the benefits like carrying a laptop except for the nice keyboard and mouse, everything else is there.
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
I agree. I have no need for the Microsoft Surface since I have this unit. It satisfies my daily needs when away from my PC.

My only issue is the "connected standby" bug that affects the internal wireless card

Hi,

i have few noob questions, hope get help.

1. is it need charge for 8hours for 1st time after purchased the mobile?

2. is it need keep the battery with full at all time / daily even not below red percentage?

3. some people said Li-ion battery have no memory so can be charge anytime any percentage (even not under red percentage). is it true?

3. whats the best solution for battery calibration? daily or monthly? or when needed?

thx for helps!!!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
1)discharge the battery and then plug it in the charger

2)it is not necessary

3)don't do it.discharge the battery at least below 14%(it will always notify for low battery) and then charge it

4)AFAIK battery calibration is a myth
[HTC Sensation] shiropetto:
3. but some "expert" people said not necessary to charge it even not below 14%. can be charge anytime.

4. is it necessary or depend on user? coz what we use n charge to the battery is same like calibration? like what u said discharge till 14% below n charge it full again...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
3)it will decrease battery life very soon

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blorkin:
Just installed Dirty Unicorns (yesterday morning), love it so far. My one problem is it take forever to get to a full charge. It has been charging for over 10 hours and it is only at 87%. I had my phone turned off and when I plugged it in it was at ~0% battery life. Anyone know how what is causing it to take so long or a way to make it charge faster? The charger is the one that came with the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blorkin:
I ran this command: cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc

The number I got was 0.

I got the command from this thread.

Edit:Tired it again after restarting my phone, I got 9078 which means it is fast charging. However, it still takes a long time to charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:
Definitely not the norm! Might have to do some battery shopping. You can get them dirt cheap!

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Check for battery deformities. If it looks swelled then your battery could be bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blorkin:
The battery looks normal (no swelling, damage, etc). I tried charging it while it was turned on and it charged fine; from around 50% to 100% in less than 2.5 hrs (was watching TV so I am not sure the exact time). I am going to try killing the battery again and charging it with the phone on (than off) and see how long that takes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blorkin:
So I don't have an exact time frame for it charging while off but it fully charged within under 8 hours (from dead). However, it still seems to charge much faster when the phone is awake; it took about 1.5hrs to get from ~50% to 100%. I am still confused as to why it charges faster when the phone is on. If anyone has any ideas I would be interested to hear them.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
ATTENTION: THIS INFORMATION IS DEPRECATED!

I am leaving the thread up for reference, but as I no longer have the device and haven't been keeping up on the development of the I537, many of these methods may not (and probably won't) apply any longer. Please search the subforums for recent information.

Disclaimer: If you post a successful ROM to the thread, I will gladly add it to the OP. However, I can't promise how quick I can do it. I am very busy with work. I will try to keep this thread as up-to-date as I possibly can.

Purpose: The point of this thread is to make a list of ROMs that have been confirmed to work on the SGH-I537 S4 Active using SafeStrap.

Feel free to ask any question you like pertaining to this topic. Noobs are welcome. Please do not flame other members.

Please provide feedback on what works or doesn't work! This community thrives when you share your experience.

Steps for flashing a ROM

1. Download a ROM file (must be 4.2.2 based with stock kernel)

2. Create ROM slot in SafeStrap

3. Flash the ROM and three update.zips: keys fix, camera patch, and modules fix (MF1, MF2, or MF3 depending on your stock firmware).

4. Wipe cache and dalvik.

5. Boot system

6. Report on how it works if you have problems and share any success.

Confirmed Working:

S4 Google Edition ROM

Goldeneye

SHOstock

MDOB

Graviton

Omega ROM I9505

WickedROM

Alpha - I had SuperSU problems, but flashed the latest SuperSU .zip here and now everything works great.

Hyperdrive - Make sure you flash the ATT compatability .zip in order to clear up the problem with SMS on LTE.

Will Not Work:

ANYTHING WITH CUSTOM KERNEL

SafeStrap Dev Thread (modules fix zip in third post)

NEW:

I put together a "MasterPatch" for both MF1 and MF3, each which contains: respective modules, hardware keys fix, camera patch, and an edited gps.conf file which allows for a quicker GPS-fix in the U.S.

This is just to make things easier when flashing a new ROM built for the S4. Enjoy.

MF1 MasterPatch

MF3 MasterPatch
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I posted this in another thread and thought it might be useful here.

You can more or less easily flash regular S4 ROMs onto our phones. Be aware that this has only been done in SafeStrap thus far. You could possibly make your phone unusable if you flash S4 ROMs as your only ROM without using SafeStrap.

To use a regular S4 ROM in SafeStrap:

Flash your desired regular S4 ROM into a new slot in SafeStrap. Currently you can only flash 4.2.2 TouchWiz based ROMs due to a kernel limitation with SafeStrap. I believe [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] is still working on this and hopefully we will eventually be able to use any kernels with SafeStrap.

Without rebooting, flash the MOD file of your stock ROM. So if your stock ROM is MF1, then flash the MF1 MOD file. MF2....flash MF2 MOD file, and MF3...flash MF3 MOD file. The MOD files can be found here.

Again without rebooting, flash the camera fix that was put together by LeJay. The camera fix can be found here.

Finally flash the Hardware Key Fix that is attached in the first post.

Make your new ROM slot the active ROM slot and reboot your phone.

If any of this information is wrong please let me know and I will update this post so people don't brick phones. Please note that this has only been reported to work in SafeStrap so far, flashing regular S4 ROMs as your stock ROM could brick your device and has not been tested yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Just a quick update, I've confirmed that Hyperdrive, a ROM originally intended for Verizon works on the S4Active. See the picture below. Steps to get this working:

Download the latest version of Hyperdrive from here.

This is an Aroma installer, so as you work your way through the installer options choose the AT&T kernel, not the Verizon one.

After finishing the install, DO NOT REBOOT, flash your corresponding modules file (ex. MF3).

Flash LeJay's camera fix

Flash the keyboard fix in the first post.

Finally flash the AT&T Compatibility Pack on the Hyperdrive page so that your phone will work on the AT&T network. The default configuration for the phone has it set up to work with the Verizon network, so if you don't flash the AT&T Compatibility Pack you won't be able to get a signal.

The only thing I can't get to work correctly is the camera with the stock camera app, even with LeJay's fix. I downloaded Focal and I am able to take pictures, video, and panorama however when taking a panorama picture the display is rotated 90 degrees making. The camera is fully functional, it's just not perfect. EDIT: It sounds like the Focal issue has been resolved with the latest update to the app in the Play Store.

TL;DR Hyperdrive works out of the box on the S4 Active if you flash everything properly and in the correct order.

I've already provided these instructions in the second post of this thread. You shouldn't have to do anything different than you did for Hyperdrive of GPE, you may have just had bad downloads. Make sure you check the MD5 after you download to make sure you don't have a corrupted download.
