[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] junkyde:
So I had time to compile some extended battery versions of my vikinger stock 4.2.2 kernel for you guys :)

There are 3 versions available: 3800mah, 4275mah and 6333mah for the lte and 3g variant of the s4 mini.

You can check the expected battery capacity with adb shell or with the terminal app:

"cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/energy_full"

it should be "1940000" with the stock kernel and after flashing one of my modified kernels it should be higher.

So here are the download links:

GT-I9195: 3800 4275 6333

GT-I9190: 3800 4275 6333

After flashing the kernel you should calibrate your battery with an app from google play store.

(so discharge below 10%, then delete "/data/system/batterystats.bin", reboot and charge to 100%)

Let me know if it works for you guys.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] VladimirZagreb:
This moded kernel is working great! It gives me about 20 hours of CONTINUOUS web browsing! More then three times then before. I have GT-i9515 and 6500 mAh extended battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
It gives me 70032704 with 4275mAh version... is that correct?

I'm after flashing. Appreciate a lot :) I'll give feedback after some testing. So far I'm also happy I got button LED notifications bonus :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] kamikaze702k:
Any support for 4.4.3 / 4.4.4 ROMs ?

Sent from my GT-I9195 CarbonKat 4.4.3
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] junkyde:
hmmm.... it doesn't seem correct, but maybe just use it for a while and test it. Or flash and test the 3800mah variant. Also please tell me the adb output on this.

no kernel source released for 4.4.x yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
OK. So I've flashed 3800mAh kernel version. Now terminal gives me a value of "-414967296". Yes, with "minus" in the front :) Is that correct? :)

I've decided to try with 3800mAh, because with 4300mAh I've encountered some battery percentage jumps and drops. While charging it was very steady up to ~75%, then very quick up to a 100%. And the other way discharging was fluent up to ~20-30%... and after that quick percentage drops as well as phone reboots.

I'll see how this 3800mAh works for me now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] junkyde:
that's strange...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] kodyro:
Just found very cheap 2500mAh battery any one have tried one of those? I am very doubting about its quality..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
The original battery is 1900mAh. Plus it is probably measured and confirmed capacity.

So I don't think it is worth to go with 2500mAh as a replacement. Even if the capacity is true you won't gain much more time on it. Especially for that price ;) I'd suggest to go with much bigger size, not only on label but in physical dimensions also.

6200mAh Extended Battery for s4 mini GT-I9195 is safe this battery for this model?

Anyone tried???

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-6200mAh...040?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e8c337b60
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
Should be safe, as long as you don't throw the phone with it, coz it must be heavy :laugh:

Don't expect it to have that much capacity, but still much more than the original one. You can count on that by the dimensions only. It won't harm your phone. It will just take longer time to be charged.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] abj2aqua:
So I found this one

http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Whi...mini-i9190-6200mAh-EU-Version-BATY-I9190-04B/

Just wanted to know if its safe to use these batteries.. you know.. not going to blow up in my face or anything? :eek:

Hope so. Please confirm :D

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] phz.:
Cheap batteries "generally" have a higher risk to die early because there are less resources used to design them. Heat management always can be a problem for electronic devices. You should care about the CE mark to stay on the safe side, everything else is personal interest. I prefer reducing the energy consumption and having a second battery as backup.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] abj2aqua:
So my using this extremely cheap yet high capacity battery will not be dangerous to either my phone or me? Because thats what I was concerned about after reading articles of people with fake low quality batteries having them blow up in their face while on a call or charging or ****
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
No one is gonna give you such a warranty or promise. There is always a higher risk. Even original well known brand batteries use to blow up. But I would not worry in yor case.

I've been using 3rd party batteries many times. The battery you ask is bigger in capacity, but also bigger in size, which is good coz it is not overloaded.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] 5u4573:
has anyone tried the golden long lasting batteries and regular size sold in dx.com?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] kamikaze702k:
The cheap golden batteries are crap, they claim to hold more power and are usually from China, but they are weaker than stock batteries, there's only a few brands I trust, zerolemon, anker, etc, pay a bit more but know you're getting good quality, no good having an expensive smartphone n risking ruining it by buying n using a cheap battery...

Have ordered the zerolemon 5100 mAh extended battery.. Will get back to you good fellas with the results [emoji57]
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] tobbbie:
Did you notice that the S4 mini original battery is labeled 3.8V while earlier batteries were labeled with 3.7V? You may know that Li based batteries are very sensitive to charging voltage and may overheat when the wrong voltage is applied. All the aftermarket batteries are 3.7V and their charge-stop is around 4.2V while the original is 3.8 with charge-stop at ~4.3V.

Not sure if and how the charge circuit deals with this situation, but it could lead to problems in this combination.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Audiology93:
can try looking around ebay for those extended battery with 4800 or 6300mah. but have to use their special back cover though which means no protective case.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
There is special silicon cases for these bigger covers as well. I have one and fits well.

Is your kernel compatible with dual sim version (i9192)? I'm looking forward to swap the phone for this version, but I'd like to keep using extended battery, with your kernel of course :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Max Biaggi:
Since my original battery was gonna be weak, i've bought a "Polarcell Akku 2100mAH NFC edition i9195", from Amazon Store, € 15,99

Just charged, initialized and in use, i will post screenshot of first use.

I'm using s4 mini lte i9195, firmware kitkat 4.4.2 ucnf7 rooted, debloated, vodafone lte sim, always wifi/edge connected, mid daily use.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] jorge-rj:
Hi! Don't forget to post the screenshot because my battery is weak too. I hope the Polarcell 2100mAH works better than the original one.

anxious...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] junkyde:
nope, I compiled only two versions GT-I9195 and 9190
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] rogier666:
I bought that one on eBay. Everything works (including NFC), and according to Battery Monitor Widget the capacity is really 2100 mAh.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
And you think the kernel is different on I9192? The only difference between the models is an extra SIM slot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] junkyde:
Yes it is. But you could ask [MENTION=4344511]SilviuMik[/MENTION] to compile a modified kernel for gt-i9192 with the necessary changes I posted in this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] rasterer:
6300 from dx.com, shortly: skip it...

Hello guys,

just to share with you, I've bought this one from dx.com SKU: 252144

advertised:	6300 (Actual 5500) mAh

Mesured it with RC models li-on charger, safe conditions 500mA charge/100mA discharge and acctual value is far from declared and around 2900mAh

Just skip it.

Regards,

rasterer
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] joecraven92:
Junkyde I PM'd you. I am not that good with this rooting and kerneling but will the 6333MAH version you did be good for for a 5100mah phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Ursurobertt:
6019

Ca somebody make kernel version for the 2850 mah for kitkat 4.4.2?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
It will work, better with stock kernel. But it will drain battery very fast when around 20% left, because yours is smaller than kernel says.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] joecraven92:
but I should still get some amount of usage as I would with letting it drain and then turning on again to 50+% battery ?

btw what's the best way to install the vkinger kernal junkyde posted? I managed to root my phone and I have cyanogenmod 11 on my phone but when I tried installing the vkinger mod I just got boot loop

maybe it's just best to stick with powering on phone to 50_% battery after it drains. I should still get a good 2 days usage right??
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
Not sure what you ask... What I meant was that 6333mAh specified in junkyde's kernel is a 100% of battery. That is what kernel says. If your battery is 5100mAh it is about 80% of 6333mAh. That's why the phone will "die" when it gets below 20%. If not faster... I don't believe you have a real 5100mAh capacity ;)

Simply flash it with CWM.

You can always stick to the stock kernel and reboot the phone when it gets close to 0% of course. But it's annoying in my opinion. Plus this custom kernel gives you more pros like BLN as example.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] joecraven92:
Does the kernel only work on CWM10.2?

Zerolemon battery :) they are good.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
CWM10.2? CWM is a custom recovery. I think you've mistaken it with CM (CyanogenMod) ;)

CWM is independent of ROM and kernel. And kernel itself should work with CyanogenMod. I've tried it with stock ROM personaly.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] joecraven92:
Yes, that was the mistake I made. So I can install the vkinger kernal, without having cyanogenmod installed? Cos when I do it with it installed I get boot loop
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] rrgrrg:
Vkinger is a STOCK SAMSUNG ROM kernel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... please read the topic before asking of course u will bootloop :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] joecraven92:
I apologise I am not so smart about these things
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] joecraven92:
I give up trying to install the kernal. I have no idea what I did wrong but after installing it with CM11 installed I get bootloop, after installing it without CM11 I get bootloop.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
Go back to stock ROM (flash full official software with ODIN), root the phone, flash CWM, flash the kernel from CWM.

As rrgrrg noticed this kernel will not work with CM (and probably any other custom ROM).

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] llmb0611:
Hi. I bought a zerolemon 5100mah battery for my s4 mini duos. I have the same problem wit discharging to 0 then turning it back on to 60%...

Is there a way just to root the dwvice and edit the battery capacity?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Doman:
Nope, the capacity info is stored inside the kernel. So you have to flash a custom one.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] sej7278:
there used to be a way to reset the battery stats, can't quite remember it now - isn't it in cwm?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] llmb0611:
I wrote a mail to zerolemon seller on amazon and i got this back from him

1- charge phone while off for 12 hours straight.

You then will turn the phone on and use it till the battery life

goes to 2%

*

2-after the item has been depleted to 2% charge it for 12 hours

straight.

PLEASE NOTE: Your phone may state is is fully charged before the

12 hours are done BUT please keep charging your phone for the full 12 hours.

*

3- repeat #2 for 4 more times. This will complete your 6

charging cycles.

*

Your phone will not read the correct battery life until you have

completed the charging cycles.

Please do not stop charging the battery once it reaches

100%.

You may stop charging after the 12 hours have passed.

But it didnt work...

Has any one tried this http://www.amazon.com/2600mAh-Porta...alaxy+S4+MINI+i9190+Rechargeable+Battery+Case

Would the kernel need to be modified to match the mAh of the bettery + case?

And what about this anyone tried? http://www.amazon.com/Power2tek-BAT...rds=Power2tek+BATTERY+3.7V+For+Samsung+B500BE

Thanks,

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] RazCrimson:
It might be dangerous

The S4 mini might not be compatable with the other batteries. It might even blast. Better to use Samsung made Or 1900mAH Battery.Because u can't fit more material into same space but if the battery is not Li-ion the storage might increase. Then it might not support the phone .Best to use Manufacture made.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] JenItols:
I know this thread is a little stale but does anyone know if there is a comparable version of this change that can be applied to CM12.1? Is CM12.1 capable of handling different sized batteries? I am not sure how to get back to 4.2.2 and honestly I would rather stay at LP than downgrade back to JB so any additional information would be much appreciated. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] twizar:
I bought a Zerolemon 5100mAh battery and from 3 hours of screen on time with the original battery, I get now 8 hours and 2 to 3 days of heavy use, instead of 1 day.

In my case even the battery meter is fairly accurate and when it gets to 0% it actually is empty.

If you want more informations about it, I made a youtube video: "Zerolemon 5100mAh Extended Battery for Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini - unboxing and first impressions"

Feel free to ask anything about it in the video comments section.

I bought MPJ 2900mAh Battery from ebay, first i tested my 2 years old samsung battery with nova battery tester software got 1100mAh and with MPJ one i got 1890 mAh so i was pretty happy with that :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] hardcorenooker:
It seems like you're hitting an integer overflow here.

The maximum value for a 32 bit signed integer is 2,147,483,647.

Default value is 1,940,000,000 (uAh)

* 2 = 3,880,000,000 which is bigger than 2,147,483,647 and overflows to -414,967,296

* 3 = 5,820,000,000 overflows to 70,032,704

So this kernel patch might have unexpected behavior. You might try to convert the values to unsigned int but even then the 3x patch won't fit (BTW there are no commercially available 3x batteries, they are advertised as 3x but real capacity is at most 2x, physical limits apply)

Hey xda,

A few days ago I saw a thread go by about efs. I need to fix a galaxy s3 and the only thing I can use right now is my own phone and the search funxtion is buggy..

Can anyone elaborate on efs v2 and what it is? I believe the phone was running 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 before and I need to restore a nandroid. Will this cause problems?

Also it is running a custom kernel. Will stock kernel be installed once I restore the nandroid? Any information regarding efs v2 is very welcome.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
No need to make a new thread. All details you need to know are mentioned in various efs threads. Like this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2393289

I dont know about restoring nandroid but in my experience flashing a 4.1.2 rom on a 4.3 rom caused me ALOT of trouble. Might be due to a change in modem in the process, even flashing an older 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 nandroid did NOT fix my problem. So i dont recommend you do that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefan0vic:
So if I understand right than I can only safely flash 4.3 and up? Thanks for the link!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
Its not impossible to flash back down, there are certain procedures to backup and restore the efs but its better to avoid the trouble. No need to write thanks, just click the thanks button :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhl71:
Hi

I've an opportunity to trade my Xperia Z for a Nexus 5. What do you guys think?

The only reason I'm even considering this is due to the fast updates of android from google. My carrier here in canada is way too slow.. We were on 4.1 all these days ..just released 4.3 today..

What are the pros and cons?

I really like the look of my Xperia Z though..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
yes you should do this !

the n5 is great. However i personally will get the moto x as a seco dary device as i don't need that much power but rather a compact solid phone.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apollo89:
The Nexus 5 has a faster CPU/GPU indeed, but the Xperia Z has better cameras, an SD card slot, an FM radio and better build quality / premium materials. It also depends on how much you like the Sony experience, with exclusive Sony features (Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, WALKMAN, PlayStation Mobile, DUALSHOCK 3 support, Clear Phase and xLOUD audio, Smart Social Camera, My Xperia, etc.) and a more polished user interface.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianfgs:
I believe the Nexus has is and has always been a developer oriented device. While the Xperia Z is more consumer-media oriented.

Each has its pros and cons, but generally, they both are great devices and its just a matter of what ecosystem(Google - Sony) you prefer.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjgowtham:
Xperia z1 or z2.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingrion88:
Personally, I'd say go for Nexus 5. As mentioned earlier by other people nexus 5 is faster, the only thing nexus lost is on camera and build quality. X.Z is more towards premium side. Sony UI and so on is really my cup of tea. :good:

However, the reason why I propose you to go for nexus 5 is because of DEVELOPMENT. Not only it is faster there, there are tons of elite developer there. I'm not saying that XZ does not have elite developer, (we have alnikki, doomlord, niaboc and many many more). But, if you have noticed, development in XZ has noticeably gone slower and I believe at some time it will just die. In fact, the number of developer keep reducing over time. Just compare and you'll notice. Unless you are not into development, then go for Xperia Z. Otherwise Nexus 5 would be a better choice.

p/s: I own a nexus 4 (and assumed the development in N5 is the same), so I know the development progress in comparison to xperia Z very well.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpacho89:
Xperia Z without doubt.

Even the Nexus having a little bit better SoC, the building materials and quality of the Xperia Z are more important in my opinion.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00328:
You're in luck... I own both a Xperia Z and a Nexus 5.

Performance

Firstly, the N5 is significantly faster. That thing is flipping quick.

The XZ isn't slow, but it isn't near the N5 in speed.

Sound

The sound quality on my XZ is bad. I'm not sure if mine is faulty, or it's just because of the waterproofing on the speaker.

The N5 speaker isn't brilliant, but it is better.

For headphone performance, the XZ is noticeably better, even without ClearAudio+ activated

The music playing application is the main issue with music on the N5. I hate Google music (Sure, I could simply use a different app, but still), it is frustrating to use and just plain annoying. Walkman, to me is the best music player by far, perhaps just my opinion, but you may value it anyway.

Screen

This is where it gets tricky.

I'm sure you've heard complaints about Sony's TFT displays, saying their viewing angles are bad, I however, very much like the XZ display.

To me, the display of the XZ is very realistic. The colours look real, the text looks sharp.

But the display of the N5 is also very nice. Better viewing angles (if you're into looking at your phone at weird angles.)

The colours don't look as real, but nowhere near as fake as that of Samsung. The screen is colourful, and definitely very good.

The ROMs of these two phones suit the screens very well. Sony's rom is largely black & white, with greyish gradients. The wallpapers are landscapes that really go well with the screen.

The N5 has an interface that is made up of 'synthetic' backgrounds - abstract, computer-made images that are colourful. The screen suits it very well.

I've tried swapping the wallpapers, and they don't work as well on each others screens.

Interface

Much like the screen, this is personal preference. I like the small app feature of the XZ, very useful.

I love the XZ interface in general, whenever I try to use AOSP, I just come back to the XZ.

The AOSP interface is good, but to me it just isn't as good.

Camera

I don't use the camera much, so I don't have much of an opinion. I just know that they are both good.

Build Quality

Don't assume that the N5 build quality is bad. I was actually very surprised by its build quality.

It feels solid, of an appropriate weight. Very impressive.

The N5 is shaped in a way that fits your hand better than the XZ - it feels smaller than what it actually is, which I like.

The build quality of the XZ is brilliant. Certainly something to boast about. Hell, the thing is water resistant. How many phones have that?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziich:
if I were you i would go for the n5. it has good build quality and better battery life than the z, it has a ridiculously accurate screen and is better in low light photography.

go and read anandtech's review on it and see if it is really for you
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botN3t:
well i just went back from nexus 5 to Xperia Z, lack of micro sd slot killed it for me... i need the space...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
I would choose Z just because I prefer Sony concept.

Stock Android is less interesting and less pretty.

I also prefer Sony's cameras

Plus the design, Nexus always looks like a tasteless brick.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dreamgun:
Hello,

Seeing how future updates to the Note 3 supposedly causes the knox warranty void flag to be tripped for rooting with RDLV... Is it a good idea to root our devices now while we can? As in, rooting before one of these updates will both keep root on the device and have knox warranty flag 0x0 after updating to kitkat?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dreamgun:
Bumping! I suppose it would be easy for Samsung to release an update that triggers knox counter if root is detected... I've never rooted a device though. So my question is do phones keep root when you receive an android update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
If you are rooted, you normally don't want an update over the air. There so far have been no updates to the T-Mobile version of the note 3 though.
