[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
Well, you could just install the 4.3 OTA then the 4.4 OTA and simply re-root. Using Chainfire's cf-auto-root that process only takes 2 minutes. Doing the OTAs will keep you from losing data. There are links to the OTA files in the "OTA links sticky here in the "N7 General" forum that you posted this question in. Be sure to do each of the OTAs in turn - don't skip any of them. Start with the build you have & jumpa as far forward as you can (choose your zips wisely so you don't have to do a bunch of them. (for example, do the OTA from your build up to JDQ39, then do the JDQ39 to JWR66Y OTA, then the JWR66y to KRT16O OTA).

You might want to pause for a few minutes in 4.3 world before you jump to 4.4. Let things settle down & see if any 4.3-specific updates come down from the Play Store. It shouldn't, but where's the harm in waiting?!? :)

So I've updated my N4 to KitKat (Purity ROM) using PA Gapps (The minimal one + Photosphere and google keyboard addon) and using Trinity's latest beta kernel + WiFi fix, and suddenly I'm not able to play any videos from the camera. Using VLC doesnt work, and neither does gallery. It records everything, just cannot play it. Any ideas? Thanks. :)

Just wondering if this iPad charger would harm the Note 3 if used. It is 2.1 amps 10 watts. It seems more powerful than the note 3. Just wanted to get an expert opinion. Thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
should be fine. I've been using my girl friends ipad charger in the living room for weeks. according to my phone it's pulling 1800 mah from it, same as the original charger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
It won't damage the phone. The charger has a 2.1a maximum output. The phone will pull as much as it needs to charge. If you hook up a ten amp charger, it won't hurt the phone. The phone's circuitry was designed to use whatever amperage limit it was made for. If the phone only pulls 1.8a at full usage and charging, then that's all it's going to use. It's better to have a power supply with plenty of extra amperage output, at the same voltage, than a smaller output at same voltage.

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

Bigger amperage capacity is fine, but it needs to output the proper voltage for what you're using it on. For USB devices, it needs to be five volts DC. You could have a hundred amp power supply as long as its out put is 5vdc then you're fine. It doesn't shove 100 amps down the device's throat, if the device is using 5 amps then the power supply is only going to give it 5 amps.

Thanks for the helpful information! I really appreciate it.

Had.some free at.work.and an extra defender,made a mode for the hyperion..fits well and still appears slim..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] alucard454:
This is awesome!

How is it for normal usage? Are you using this setup as a daily driver?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mexiking713:
Can you post a pic of the back of the phone with the case on? Looks good btw
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1tfrot:
nice job. I did the same thing with my resound and it worked great. now it's sitting on the shelf since getting the N3 :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
So basically all you have to do is dremel out the back of the otterbox? I am using a zero lemon but it is a bit too bulky for me. Thinking about going this route if it is a viable option.

Does the battery bulge out at all on the rubber?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] whitebus61:
I'm also interested in hearing how much extra bulge this gives. I want to get a ZeroLemon but the case is like a puff pastry compared to the sleekness of the OtterBox. Plus that Max-5 has got me itching to mod the ZL into the OB just wondering how much tug the Hyperion gives on the silicone and if you think there would be enough play to fit a Zl in there. I was thinking maybe of shaving down some of the silicon a little since the camo OtterBoxes have a hard plastic print for the design so thinning the rubber behind it wouldn't be too much of a drawback in durability in my opinion. I just don't know if it would give it enough extra space to make the bulge less noticeable. If ZeroLemon is going to get into these rugged cases then hopefully they can slim them down in certain spots so it doesn't look like a bar of soap lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
The Zero Lemon uses some really cheap and hard rubber in comparison to the otter box case. I had a friend custom cut the back of the otterbox for me. I'm just waiting on the Anker battery. He did a really phenomenal job and I'll keep anyone here posted on how it fits.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
Here we go... This is the best mod ever, lol. Good bye Zerolemon! The Otterbox is a WAYYYYYY nicer case.

Shout out to Greg for modding the case and making this all possible and thanks to OP for the idea.

Here's the full resolution album!

Wow looks great. How does the rubber outer portion fit now that the battery extends out a bit.

Sent from my 2014 Note 10.1
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] whitebus61:
Any thoughts on if a zerolemon battery would fit?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
Fits great. It has a little bit of a bulge, but nothing anyone would notice unless you said something. It still sits flat on table surface.

Zero lemon will not fit no matter what you do with it. The ZL battery is way too large for any type of modification to work. The rubber won't even wrap around the phone with the battery in.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] whitebus61:
That's a shame. Seems like they really slimmed down the design with the Note 3 it looks half as thick as I expected it to be. My S3 struggled with the ZL as well though it did fit against all physics. I eventually modded it fully so the rubber laid flat as if the ZL wasn't there. Figured I would give it a shot with the Note 3 OtterBox but not for $70 just yet. The ZL case wouldn't be bad if more time was given to them to slim and refine the design.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
The ZL battery seems like its larger than it has to be.. The Anker/Hyperion batteries are rather small and are 6400mah. The ZL is just ridiculously huge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] whitebus61:
Yea it really is just gigantic. I just don't know what route I would take. I have seen a lot of impressive battery life out of the Anker/Hyperion batteries that was as good as my S3 with a ZL on it was so if I can get that level of life out of it then I'll just go that route. Saves some weight and bulk. What's nice about the otterbox's is they're easy to stealth the larger batteries. Just run the front plastic piece down with a sander and do the same with the rubber where the battery will go (camo cases exclusively since the camo part is like a hard plastic material, and bam you have original OtterBox thickness with double the battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
The ZL case is just irritating. It's got this cheap feeling rubber and the buttons are extremely difficult to press. The new defenders feel a lot better than the ones I've owned in the past. This is without a doubt the best defender yet. The rubber is extremely pliable and gives the best button response i've ever felt on a case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] whitebus61:
That's good to hear. I keep flip flopping because I keep looking at the ZeroLemon with it's absurd capacity which would be great for me and then I keep thinking about how badly I would just prefer to have an OtterBox but it's $40 more said and done which makes me just rather want to save the money, sacrifice a little quality, and focus on the whole purpose of just getting more battery capacity. I think I will just get the ZL, love it or hate it for a while then switch over to an OtterBox/6400mah combo later if I am not satisfied. I know I can slim the OtterBox to the point where the ZL will fit. Those cases have been flexible enough for me to do it before. It's just way more involved than simply cutting a hole in the back so that's why I don't think anyone's done it. That and the cost to do so is pretty high since they aren't selling just the batteries yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
You aren't going to fit the zero lemon in this defender. This defender is very slim, it's not like the normal defenders I've ever owned.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] StuNNaNyC:
Sell me that case. I just got the anker also and i hate this back cover :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Paulita1:
It's sound good. I did also the same thing with my resound and it worked great.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] whitebus61:
Well aware of that but like I said the mod I do isn't a simple "cut hole here and go". I have given the N3 OtterBox 1.5mm (guesstimate) of extra depth on a friends broken case and when I get my ZeroLemon in I will test fit and see how it works. As is the case gives a lot of room for a bigger battery. The anker will fit flush and flat as if it wasn't even there and I don't see any issues at all with fitting a ZeroLemon but time will tell. The more I use this thing the more I think maybe I'll be more satisfied with just an Anker and Otterbox. The battery life is already pretty good. I guess my final judgement will be with the quality of the ZeroLemon case and it's heft. I promise to fit a ZeroLemon into a Note 3 OtterBox though for sure. When I get bored of the ZL case I will do so with a full boat write up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
I would love to see it if you make it happen. I tried without the otterbox backing, and just put the Zerolemon on, and tried to put the front panel and rubber on, but it wasn't going to work.

The Zero Lemon gives me anywhere from 5-10 days based on how much I use it. The Anker I would imagine would provide somewhere around 3-6 days.

The real issue I have is that the Zero Lemon seems overly large. The Anker still has the same profile as the normal battery, just double the width which is fine, but the zerolemon is just massive. I don't even know if the extra size and weight is worth it for another 3600mah at that point.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] whitebus61:
Yea I definitely understand that last point. I kind of spur of the moment decided on the ZL before giving any real testing to the stock battery.

And yea it's going to a be a tight fit but I really think I can pull it off. If not I will have a nice stock profile OtterBox for the Anker. Hopefully the ZL gets here soon. If the delivery report doesn't estimate it to be to me by Monday I might switcharoo and just pickup the OB and Anker through Prime.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kalani91:
this looks interesting and a way better option than putting on that cheap hyperion case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] greenbay:
Can you advise if there are any button sensitivity issues post-mod.

I've done this OBmod to a SG3 with various batteries and the buttons were always an issue.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
0 button sensitivity issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Takinato:
So all you did was cut a square off of the back part of the otter box defender so the battery could protrude through it and the silicone part goes over it?! This is exactly what i would like to do! I've been staring at Zero Lemon but the idea of a GIgantic phone is just not sure if i want to spend the money. This is a perfect alternative, thanks for posting this!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Takinato:
Just did this mod, am loving the extra safety of the otterbox as well as the extra juice from the anker battery without the GIANT Bulk http://imgur.com/a/AHVOl
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Are these brand new $60 otterbox defenders everyone is cutting up or is everyone getting them discounted from somewhere online or cheap used? I would do this also but don't feel good about hacking into one. Also, if you were to file a warranty claim with Otterbox I doubt they would send you another since you are the one who caused the damage. Correct?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Takinato:
I have never dropped my phone so I'm not worried about the warranty claim. Yes it was a brand new otter box it was taken out of the box and 10 minutes later I was cutting into it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Any Otterbox defender I've had (HTC Evo 4g LTE & Galaxy s3) the outer silicone gets stretched/worn out and the little plastic snap pieces that hold the 2 inner pieces together break from taking it on and off. The last time I did a warranty claim on my s3 they now require you to send back the defective or broken piece and I'm sure after you send them back the plastic inner shell that has a huge piece cut out of it they are probably going to charge you the full price of the new case.

But I may just be paranoid...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kalani91:
now I really wanna test this layout
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Takinato:
Very happy with this mod anker 6400mah
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Makron:
I got my battery in today and since I had a spare Otterbox, I decided to give this mod a go. Seems like you sacrifice a bit of protection for battery life. The case feels very rigid, and I think if the phone were to fall flat on the back, the battery would absorb most of the shock and potentially break the LCD. There are also a couple gaps in the silicone layer that may lend themselves to lint/dust accumulation inside of the phone. I'm going to put it through its paces over the next week and see how it pans out. Great find!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] StaticMatt:
Did the mod myself about a week ago and besides the small gap near the camera, phone looks and feels great. Much better grip than stock extended cover. Wireless charging is working great as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b k w:
Got my Hyperion this morning and is currently doing the first full charge. I'm still awaiting the arrival of the Defender. If this all works out, bye bye ZeroLemon!

Don't get me wrong, the ZL is absolutely fantastic, but it's a bit too much for my needs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Fossxp13:
Good job, i'm thinkind doing some handwork...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b k w:
I just realized how crappy the back of the Hyperion case is. While installing it for the first time it cracked.

Quick question for those who performed this mod. Did you cut the back OEM cover? Or did you just install the case without the back cover? My Defender won't be here till next week but kinda curious what I need to do to get this to work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DEEBS808:
Loved this mod with my s3. Might do it with my note 3 if I don't like the feel of my zero lemon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
Just install the case without the oem back cover. If you have a glass screen protector, that fills out the case nicely anyways.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] StaticMatt:
I cut my OEM back cover as well. Found another OEM back cover on eBay for less than $10 dollars in case I switch cases or go back to the standard battery later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AndroidDevel:
Great idea, and to think I bought my otterbox only because it was the only case that bestbuy had in stock that wasn't pink... Guess I got lucky.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jasmineee:
What would be best used to cut the hole out? Or is it rather easy to do. I want to do this but don't want to waste a perfectly good otter box.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] StaticMatt:
Use a dremel. Pretty easy to do. I did it having never used a dremel before and I'm happy with the result in mine
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Personally I wouldnt cut an expensive case. I would rather buy the zerolemon battery that comes with a case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jasmineee:
I ended up ordering a zero lemon earlier today. While this hyperion option is cool. It's a bit more work lol and for me, the more battery power the better today I barely made it to 4:30 in the afternoon and my phone was on 3% using the stock battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] IcarusLSC:

eneric Battery?

Hi,

I am wanting to do this with the Otterbox and I was wondering if you guys think this battery would work? It says it is 6800mah, but I think it's somewhat risky as it has no reviews :P I'd appreciate any input.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GUCTL1Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3VLY4UB7974F5
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kronikings:
I wouldn't buy it simply because it has no reviews and its too cheap. You get what you pay for. But because it's only $10 maybe it's worth the chance. Could always return it I suppose
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] PieceofSlice:
True, but I think even if it is like 5000 mah instead of 6800 mah, it would still be a good deal. I think I'll just try it anyway and tell you guys how it is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kalani91:
how's that setup holding up?? I might try this same setup soon
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Takinato:
I have since swapped to zerolemon 10,000mah. This setup just sits in my closet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kronikings:
Setup still great for me..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] \/icious:
I've done this for my s4, note 2, and note 3. I like the note 3 case isn't as nice fitting as the other 2 and the battery not being centered bugs me a little I've been rocking it for over 7 months now. Really tempted to get the zero lemon combo but the protection is not as good as the modded otterbox. Had the zero lemon on my s4 and dropped it and the screen split and died
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Takinato:
The note 3 zerolemon is far more advanced than the s4. From owning both I would say the protection is the same from modded otterbox to zerolemon
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ted A:
Good screen on time and still with 70% battery left. That's incredible!

With that kind of battery life and a much better case quality and a better button push functionality, you sir convinced me Otterbox+Anker combo is the way to go. Less bulky and lighter than ZL too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] blaine07:
Yall think this would work equivalently with Gorilla Gadgets 6500 battery? Would it work with commuter or only defender?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rsswga:
only draw back is the cases...for the price of ext batteries and there cases you can buy 4 note 4 batteries with a standalone charger..i think i have 5 note 4 batteries while keeping my slim cases

Are you using a screen protector? If so, take it off before alignment; it's possible that there's some crud stuck underneath it that's registering a tap, or something.

I've noticed the HTC one has abysmal wifi reception once you move out of the same room as the router. I have a pretty meaty Netgear ac router & both 5ghz & 2.4 suck. I always thought it was the layout of the apartment but recently noticed my girlfriends nexus5 & iPad get great constant speeds throughout the apartment. My One buffers video after a few minutes. I has the revert to 3g to avoid drops.

I'm running an unrooted official 4.3 & sense 5.5 but it was crap before the update. I think perhaps the wifi hardware is just weak? Is there anything software wise I can do?

I've moved the router all over already.

Ps. My htc one X was terrible too. Before that, I had an iPhone which worked fine twice the distance away from the router.
