Heyo peeps

So here's the deal.

Battery life is pretty good, no question. But I finally got the itch to start hammering this phone for mega hours.

So first I got the Zero Lemon of course.

Battery is crazy awesome. No question. The case is... Almost acceptable. I love the overall design and protection. I hate the feel of the rubber outside, the screen protector (which I keep on for added Peace of mind and water resistance), and OMG the port covers.... So awful. The buttons are pretty terrible too.

And of course, the phone is insanely bulky and unmanageable now, but I knew that.

I LOVE my wife's otterbox defender on her stock note 3. The first thing I tried was to see if I could mod a defender to fit the zl battery. As I'm sure yall know, the answer is hell no.

So what I'm wondering is if there is some other REAL extended battery that might fit into some modded defender or similar case.

I've got one of those eBay "4500 mah" batteries that is the same size as stock. But since it weighs less than the stock battery, I'm certain the battery life is gonna suck. I'll be trying it this weekend for giggles. But Yea. When I sat REAL extended I mean one of those hyperion or anker 6400mah jobbies. Or the zl, natch.

So, any input? To recap, I'm looking for a battery that can fit a modded case that is good, preferably a otterbox defender, or similar. Or I'm looking for a GOOD case that is known to fit the zl, hyperion, anker, whatever.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] allen2oo3:
I think there was a post by someone that modded their otterbox to fit an anker/hyperion battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] alucard454:
Wait, really? I swear I searched this whole dang forum. I'll do it again when I get to a computer. If so, that'd be amazing!

Thanks regardless!

Yea, i did see that.

I've actually got the slim armor and rather like it. But unless I'm missing something, he's got the case in such a state that it could hardly be considered "protective" any longer...

Thanks for the heads up though

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimrin:
I have a (supposed) MT6589 iPhone i5s clone which I managed to brick. I tried to use the instructions here to use the SP Flash Tool to unbrick it, but the first problem I have is with getting my Windows 7 (32 bit) computer to recognize the phone. I installed the MediaTek MT65xx Preloader VCOM driver and it connects for a second. I can see the device connected as a COM device, but it only stays connected for a second and then disconnects. (This is independent of whether I am running the SP Flash Tool or not.)

Is this a symptom of a bad driver? The other problem with trying to follow the instructions is that it says to remove the battery, but this copy is a 1:1 of the iPhone so it is not intended to be opened up. I tried to discharge the battery completely, but when I plug the device in, there seems to be no response (ie, Windows doesn't do anything). At some point, there seems to be some charge in the battery because of constantly plugging in the USB cable, and at that point, is when the device is recognized but is quickly disconnected.

Anyone happen to know what I am doing wrong?

So in general, I am first interested in:

Why is the device connecting properly (I assume) being recognized as MediaTek Preloader VCOM, then disconnecting in about a second?

Is it related to not being able to disconnect the battery?

In theory, wouldn't a dead battery be the same as disconnecting the battery?

When battery is dead, nothing happens when I connect the phone to my PC. This seems odd since I am supposed to be able to connect to the PC without any battery... What is the difference?

Per instructions, I've been pressing the + volume button when connecting, but I seem to get similar results no matter if I press + or not.

Should I be loading any other drivers besides the MediaTek Preloader drivers?

Thanks.

PS. I've decided to open up the phone using a video found on YouTube, and found that the battery is soldered, so I am not so motivated in trying to disconnect the battery if possible.

Update: OK, the problem I likely had with the phone is that since the phone was in a type of "boot loop", I couldn't actually tell it was on or not... And plugging in the cable only worked if the phone is off. Once I made sure the phone was dead due to battery dying and made sure I did not turn the phone on, I could connect, let the battery charge long enough for the phone to respond to the PC, and then it was recognized by SP Flash Tool. However, seems I may have tried flashing something incompatible as the phone is not responding. I'll likely need to write another post once I can find the symptoms of what is going on.

Try hardware preloader MOD which means test point on the phone board; by soldering one to GND and another point on the board (connecting points are clear on the board), this will stop connecting and disconnecting phenomenon

I bought a JUC600 Android Mirror and it crashes everytime I run it. I believe this is because I have a custom Rom, Slim Kat. Has anyone been able to use this with a custom rom or do I have to go back to stock to use it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erickr13:
Well...

I recommend to go back to stock, but back up your current ROM datas first either with TB (Titanium Backup) or NanDroid Backup because I dont think it runs on custom ROMs. :cyclops:

I also want to ask you.. What is your thoughts about the SlimKat ROM is it good? Any glitches? :confused:

Went back to stock 4.2.2 and I cannot deal. Going back to Slim Kat. There are glitches, but they are well worth it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miczk:
Hey,

I am from Europe, Czechia. Providers are now starting with their LTE services and I'm a bit confused with Android network icons.

First of all I want to say that I am talking about LTE, not HSPA+ (42).

First network (T-Mobile CZ) uses 2x10 MHz @ 1 800 MHz and my phone signalizes "LTE".

Second one (Vodafone CZ) uses 2x3 MHz @ 900 MHz - phone signalizes "4G".

Any idea why there is not one icon?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
4G can be used to show that you are on a hspa/hspa+ network, where lte is only used to signify lte. 4G isnt necessarily lte.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Well that can't be LTE as 3mhz is not possible. The smallest LTE slice is 5Mhz. Unless that was a typo.

I think it's all marketing though. The AT&T famously got the iPhone 4 to display "4G" even though it was only a HSPA 14.4Mbps device. Since anything over 10Mbps is considered 4G then the icon was changed to display 4G instead of 3G as it was before.

So have you tested by going to LTE ONLY mode and see if it picks up on Vodaphone still? It might really just be "4G" (HSPA+) instead of LTE.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miczk:
Yes, it's LTE network. Not any kind of UMTS.

By the way LTE might work at 2x3 MHz bandwidth. Supported bandwidths are 2x1,4; 3; 5; 10; 15 and 20 MHz.

But operators don't use 1,4 or 3 MHz cause it supports DL (up to 22 Mbit/s) / UP (up to 7 Mbit/s) speeds comparable with HSPA+ (up to 21 Mbit/s).

In Czechia there is not good 3G coverage so Vodafone decided to build this low-speed LTE network which will cover in December 2014 90% of country-area.

I understand that it is technically posible to establish a link between the phone and a computer with Bluetooth such that you can the access the internet using the computers access.

I have had a few shots at this, and have got the correct profile appearing as an outgoing connection and established - but I cannot for love nor money make the bugger do anything.

I'm using XP pro, I have tried with and without the bridge between the local and bluetooth connection on the machine - still nothing.

When I have the connection established and go to the Wireless Manager there are no entries in the Bluetooth drop down, should there be?

Any ideas anyone?

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Sean uk:
If you are just wanting to access the internet using bluetooth then the way I did this was to set up a blutooth active sync conection, you can the access the internet from your alpine.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] tomsimmons:
True, lateral thinking, must try it one day!

Of course that would require me to remember to take my cradle to work for the first sync! Set a task in the phone you say, I would if the flamin thing allowed you to set the task alarm at a time of your choice, I'm nearly at work by 8 when it reminds me I've forgotten something again!

but if dosent work, you can reflash the n4 using lgnpst. or even flash the beta bootloader found on n4´s .tot.

if still dosent work i can make a system.img with root so you can use one of those apps to unlock it.

[Google Chromecast] cannondaleV2000:
I have read that google wilp be adding screenmirroring for chromecast but my chromwcast has not gotten any updates since i unboxed it. And i know they havenot enabled mirroring yet but i think there was a recent update wasmt there?

My chromecast is not rooted or anything
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Android screen mirroring has not arrived yet. And by the looks of it, the device side will have to be supplied by OEMs, most likely baked into ROMs. I could see screen mirroring easily being used by malware, so this is probably a security measure.
[Google Chromecast] cannondaleV2000:
So is it already there on the android side? With the cast screen thing in settings? And will it work with roms like cm slim omni etc?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
It's available in the AOSP SDK for KitKat.

Which means it is possible that they have plans to implement it in the future if the Manufacturers want to.

But it appears to be nothing much more than a way of doing Miracast with a Chromecast.

And I'm willing to bet that for the security reasons bhiga mentioned it will only work as a Radio to Radio connection in the same way Miracast does.

That will solve the issues of malware since it would really only work to send to a CCast very close and near to the unit.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I hope it's not just radio-to-radio as it would be restrictive for some apps, but at least limiting the functionality to OEM manufacturers means no third-party apps could silently launch screen-mirroring. Assuming you trust your OEM manufacturer, at least. ;)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I would think that if a Manufacturer could add something to the ROM to make it work there is no reason why an app couldn't do the same thing especially one that intended to do something you shouldn't.

I'm not all up on Miracast (since I don't have a device that supports it , I do have a dongle though) but I'm betting you can connect to Miracast without losing Internet and if that is true then thats probably how CCast mirroring will work because the only way to be sure it is secure is to limit what it can broadcast to. And Radio Range would seem to be the best method for that. Means the Spy would have to be in radio range to intercept the stream.

But I'm with you I hope not!

Would much prefer it worked on PIN PAIR method (Like Bluetooth) where you add the CCast as a Display device, You enter a Pin code to pair them and Mirroring only works with devices your paired to.

Thats best protected in the OS and would work because Apps couldn't then pair with anything other than your own screen....

But that doesn't mean the Divorce rate won't go up! LOL
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Koush said the API isn't available to non OEMs. So it would take some kind of exploit, which would then be very device and configuration specific, so fairly safe. Likely there's some signing process as well.

Sent from a device with no keyboard. Please forgive typos, they may not be my own.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Yes but I'm betting that it may need the OEMs to add drivers for the support which is why it's done there but not as part of android.

Which is why I fear it working like Miracast does. The API is there but the OEMs need to make drivers that will allow simultaneous Network and Mirroring via Radio.

You can install through Odin , but it must have .TAR extension;

on the contrary, the way most easy is to reboot in recovery (holding home&power&volume up for nearly 10s), wiping cache, wiping Dalvik cache in Advanced, and then installing the .zip selecting it you have downloaded before
