We all know that the battery on Google N5 is not *that* battery, so it would be great if an extended battery for our devices came out.

Mugen Power said that we are likely to get it somehow. They are concerned on a fact: internal battery on N5 means no more warranty. Anyway they want to see how many of us are interested in this, so that they will evaluate the possibility of doing this...

Facebook post on their official Facebook page (I can't post links yet due to account limitations, sorry)

View attachment 2413902

Please tell them if you would buy this item...let's get it on our devices!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Specialosio:
Yes man, honestly, after 3-4 weeks, if the phone is working, I don't care about the warranty... let's pimp our phone :D

Does it mean, that I'll need to open up my Nexus 5 and exchange the battery? Does anyone have a good link to somewhere on how to change a battery inside Nexus 5?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] DBDPCG:
Looking forward to that ...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cf18:
You can find it on ifixit.com

Main issue would be there are tons of stuff on the back cover - antenna for Wifi, GPS, NFC etc, and the vibrator. A bigger battery that has useful capacity increase will be bigger and will need a new back cover, so it not going to be cheap to replicate all those features unlike the back of a S4 that is all plastic.

Using their S4 battery as an example, the version that is the same physical size give 6% capacity increase - 2750mAh v.s. 2600 mAh. Same increase for an N5 don't seem worthwhile to me unless the old one is dying and I am looking for an replacement.

On youtube search "Nexus 5 complete tear down, Charging port fix, Cracked Screen Repair "

Here, it takes 2 minutes ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ExodusC:
Wow. Yes. I would absolutely buy this IF:

The kit cost less than $70

Comes with a quality replacement back (read: not a cheap one)

Comes with a quality case (again, not a cheap rubbery one)

Most importantly: Keeps the phone slim!

That last one is crucial. I don't want a fat phone. A 3000mAh battery would be worth it to me and shouldn't feasibly add that much bulk.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fillobotto:
Your points are good but... I meant a battery that doesn't need any replacement case/back, just a extended battery of the same size. I would buy it even to gain 300 mAh
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ExodusC:
I think what you're asking for is probably impossible without losing some type of functionality like NFC (if NFC is integrated into internal batteries like it is external batteries for many phones).

You can't just magically make more room for a bigger battery, and I'm sure the technology the battery in the N5 is based on is standard for consumer phones (probably lion or li-poly).

I'm sure if you could have easily shoved a bigger battery into the Nexus 5's chassis they would have. I imagine the G2 has a bigger battery because of a different internal layout and different chassis.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fillobotto:
Honestly I don't really know how theese kind of things work. Aren't manufacturer able to optimize (just a little bit, of course) capacity/space rate?

I think yes, but they keep away from doing this because of marketing and so on...

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mr_mojorisen:
If it's possible to get a battery with substantial gains and still allow the stock cover to be used, I'd be very interested.

I'm just skeptical that's possible.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] benjdm:
Any idea if they could keep the back cover and add in a 4 side extension between the front and the back to make room for the battery?

I love my wizard, but sometimes I want to take something smaller with me. I have another cellphone, but I don't want to have to pull them apart and switch the sims every time I swap them. Is there anything out there that will make an exact copy of a sim card so i could keep one in both of them and then just turn off one when I'm not using it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] naughty:
they do that here in Bulgaria, but you have to be VEERY careful to switch off the unused one..

I know it is a lenghty process and takes a day to clone the card
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
guttrhead: what country are you in?

Have a search on the board for multi sims or clone sims.

Basically, in Western Europe, you're unlikely to have much success due to the encryption system used in the SIM.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] le_cactus:
Most providers here in europe offer DUO SIM solutions, where they provide you with a second sim with your telephone number so you can put that in a second phone or a car system. Most of them only charge a small one-time fee for it.

Of cource only one of the SIM's can be active.

Cheers

I'm in the US on cingular. I'm thinking about just buying something like this from ebay. If it doesn't work, at least I could use the sim utilities it has, considering the wizard doesnt really have any.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
guttrhead: as le_cactus says, if you can get a 2nd sim, get one.

However, cloning a sim requires cracking its protection. In this country at least, that can be destructive to the sim, and even then, not successful.

I've posted a number of posts on this issue. But I have no experience with US sims...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigBadBoy:
I have a similar card reader + card... from another copmpany...

It works fine with portuguese cards... I have it for 2 years now...

As naugthy said, it really takes quite a few hours to read(crack) the original... just depends on how fast is your computer... mine took about 8-10 hours per card (2 years ago...)...

But they also warn that cracking the card *may* be destructive for the card... But if it happens, you can try to contact you network provider and ask for a replacement because it «just stopped working»... or something...

Cloner on ebay

It looks good .... but does it allow you to use your telephone service? Reading the details on the advert it seems to me that it only copies the data from your sim but mentions nothing about using it for calls/GPRS/GSM etc.

If it works let us know. I am a bit wary about swapping my sim between my MDA Pro and 6515 and this gadget looks an ideal solution if it really does work (I have my doubts :? ).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] joebongo:
I will report back. And out of geek interest, I will be doing the cracking on an AMD FX55 processor with 4Gb of dual channel RAM, so I will time the cracking process.

Same here. Guess I'll wait a bit on my purchase to see how it worked for you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigBadBoy:
Re: Cloner on ebay

The kit I have has a card reader/writer and copying software. You need to copy/crack the sim card and save it into a file in your disk. You do this for the sims you want to copy (I have 2 cards, one for each network).

After that, you copy these files into the multi-card using the same software, and you're ready to use it.

It works perfectly for calls, gprs, gsm... In the SIM apllications area I have an extra app that enables me to switch between cards.

The card I own (not the one that was posted) only has one problem: it cannot have a PIN.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guttrhead:
Can i just get another cingular sim and load the settings onto it, or does it have to be the super sim that comes with it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigBadBoy:
It has to be the superSIM that comes with it...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cranny:
At first I thought I'd wait for someone else to try the super-sim. Now I am regretting changing my mind.

No problem with the order - nice and quick. Super-Sim, USB sim reader, Installation CD and instruction card in a neat bubble pack. The instructions were not very clear to me (poor translation?) and contained warnings that some sims were not compatible and the copying process may destroy them. The instructions on the CD were a little clearer so I decided to take a chance.

Tried it with the T-Mobile sim from my MDA Pro. 3 Hours later it told me it wasn't going to work. Same for the o2 sim from my XDA2.

Both sims still appear to be working but as I understand it, the more cycles of trying to 'crack' the sims, the more chance of destroying them. This makes me reluctant to try again with different settings.

Sorry if I seem a bit vague but I didn't really know what I was doing. I could have done with better instructions.

Anyone know a little more about this please?

unfortunately cingular doesn't do 2 sim cards. I tried before to get one for my car and a customer service rep told me once they activate one sim, it deactivates the other. but if u do damage ur sim in the process, it takes them less than 5 minutes to get you a new one. its waiting in line to actually talk to someone that will make it longer.

clone sim card from Portuguese vodafone?

is there anyone who can clone any v2 sim card?

how do you do this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gazzrenn:
I'm in the UK on t-mobile. I bought one of these from ebay, the software could not get past the encryption on the SIM.

I did a little digging on the software included, and found (please excuse the vague-ness it was a few months ago) that the software would only 'decrypt' SIM's around in 2002 and more recent SIM's were a no-go.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lie_ui:
SO, does any one know if this thing will work with T-Mobile US SIM card? I already have my SIM for the last 5 years, but no sure if its V1 or V2.

It seems perfect solution for me IF it does work out fine.

Appreciate any information from those who tried it already.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leeky:
well, I clone mine recently. I used T-mobile, US and it works. The new sim card from Tmobile won't work but you can just buy the blank Tmobile sim card on ebay and try to clone it, if it works, then, call tmobile customer services to change your sim card.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lie_ui:
Leeky, thanks for your info. As there are several products in the net that claim can do the same thing, may I ask which one did you use to clone your T-Mob USA sim card successfully?

Is it this one?

http://www.nowgsm.com/supersim.htm

Also, I'm a bit confused with your statement. You said the new one will not work (thus only the old one will work).

So, what is the purpose of asking T-Mobile to change my sim card? As if they change it, it means I will get a new SIM card, which according to your statement, will not work. Please clarify, thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leeky:
Sorry for the previous reply....

I think the products is similar. I got it from http://www.vavolo.com/productdetails.asp,ProductID,2687,,.htm.

I tried 4 times before and failed. Because of the new Tmobile cards (I believe it is a v1 cards but with a very limited number of scan) - production after 2003. I went to several Tmobile service center in Manhattan to change a new card till I gave up. Then, I bought the old production blank tmobile card on Ebay and tried to clone it. It works on the first try - called the customer services to change my card. They didn't asked me why I want to change it. They just ask me the 15 digits number on the card I want to use. Hope this will help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dno555:
here you can find all the info you need

As of today nobody was able to clone (crack) SIM cards with Comp128V2 encryption.

You can clone only SIM with Comp128v1 encryption

Comp128V2 came out in JUNE 2002

Till somebody finds a way to extract "Ki" from V2 card, cloning will be impossible.

This is my research and believe me I spend lots of money buying staff from ebay , claiming that it works on Comp128V2

If you can find any info how to clone T-Mobile USA , or Cingular SIM card with

Comp128V2 encryption ,Please let me know

solution to clone V2 sim card!!!! it works for me!

Hi to all,

i just want to share this with you:

if you need to clone a comp128 V2 sim card, you must know some things;

-It's impossible to clone this sim (comp128 V2)!

-how to solve this:

you must tell your operator that you have a phone or car radio whith gsm function or anything else whit GSM function, and this cant read your sim card, if they don't know what to do, sugest them to change your card to an older one!

It's work to me!!!!

I've had an issue lately where my Widget Selection menu won't refresh and show a widget available from a newly installed app. Has this happened to anyone else?

[Moto X General] beelzebu:
OK, one of the new features is the immersive mode of KitKat, in other words, control keys just disappear and yo need swipe downside up to show them.

I was using QuickPick to test this out and it is not workin. QuickPick claimes to have immersive mode. I just try KitKat easter egg and it worked.

anyone else having this issue or guide me on this?

[Moto X General] tw1tch175:
Immersive mode is part of kitkat, certain apps can take advantage of it and it makes the button and status bar slide off screen so you have the full screen to view. To bring them back you swipe in from their respective sides of the screen

It works fine for me in quick pic you just have the open the picture first.

[Moto X General] sicmadek:
How do you enable this immersive mode?
[Moto X General] piccit:
Oh you know, I was only paying attention to the status bar - not the nav keys.

I can't remember if it always worked this way, but now in games that hide the status bar (i.e. Mayhem and Quadropus) I can swipe down and see it
[Moto X General] beelzebu:
thats basically another feature that on any full screen with navbar hide you can pull the notifications bar down. immersive mode is about haveing notification bar and nav buttons hide as you see in youtube. the difference is that if swipe from bottom up you bring nav bar buttos ans if you swipe upsidedown you bring notification bar.

Anyone got any good ideas, ive looked at Purity, which has everything i want except Halo, so is their any way to get that.

Also can i dupe the awesome performance seen in RastaKat

I'll be getting a Note 3 today (hopefully) and I want to root and stuff, but I've got a few questions and I would really appreciate if someone more knowledgeable could answer them.

1) What is this KNOX trigger that everyone keeps talking about? How do I trigger it and what happens if I "trigger" it?

2) I'll be getting the Note 3 from Wind Mobile, which I assume will most likely be same as T-Mobile Note 3 (Could someone actually even confirm that for me?). But in the forum list, there are Note 3 forums for Sprint, At&T and T-Mobile and another forum for generic Note 3. Does that mean that the recovery/roms are not interchangeable?
