Hello

I have a samsung galaxy xcover that come with a 1500mAh battery.

Due to low life, I bought a 1800mAh battery.

The thing is that all application telle me that my battery is fully charge, and the charger seems to stop charging, at 1500mAh in place of 1800mAh.

Is there any way to get over this number ?

Can I update something somewhere in Android to tell him that my battery is now 1800mAh ?

My smartphone is rooted.

Best regards,

Pierre

If U Want To Charge Full till 1800

Or If From Phone

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmithrandir:
Hello,

I'm using the usb charger, but the limit seems to be in the phone.

For example, when I use :

*#0228#

to get baterry info, it's write 1500mAh.

Any other ideas ?

Thank you,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cx831:
Background:

2 weeks ago I jumped on-board Tmobile right after announcement of Uncarrier 4.0, didn't trade in my ATT GN2 so I can use it on Tmo. Prior to the switch I flashed the "official leaked " OTA ATT 4.3. Then right before I switched, I filed a request for unlock code to which ATT supplied me last night.

Since then I've been trying to plug the unlock code in, "Network Unlock Request Unsuccessful"- great. Reading the email again it says "Please allow 24 hours upon receipt of this notification to complete the unlock process." Some say 4.3 is simply unlockable. On top of that, I have been told that too many attempts can hardlock the phone and with my great enthusiasm last night, I don't want to make any more unnecessary attempts.

If all else fails, Im also ready to flash back to 4.1 following OTA to MK6 using LJ2. Problem is I only have a working tmo sim card and a no-service att sim, however, it requires me to download OTA updates with wifi, twice.

Questions: For those interested-

Has anyone unlocked their 4.3 with an ATT supplied-unlock code?

-Confirmed through repeated and desperate unlock attempts that 4.3 leaked OTA cannot be unlocked even with the ATT unlock code.

I've yet to come across a thread about hardlocking GN2. Is hardlock a thing for Note II? (I tried at lesat 5 times by now & no lock yet)

-I should have rounded up upward of 10 unlock code attempts and no hardlock.

Can I download ATT OTA updates with a no-service ATT sim or tmo sim card? Both? Neither?

-Official updates have yet to pop up throughout the duration so Its a no-no.

Afterword:

First I'd like to thank dicksteele and perez6991 as I downgraded to LJ2 using their instructions. My phone was then unlocked using the *#197328460# menu. Happily using Tmobile sim now.

Thanks for reading.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chadharrop:
My Question is i have a 7 week old s4 and broke front glass and digitizer. I have sprint TEP and going to file a claim but would like to know if i can just switch out all my phone parts to the replacement and vice versa. Then send back the one they sent me. I know they use refurbished ones and don't want someones else junk. If this can be done can someone give me a complete list of parts that must be switched.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nemofbaby2010:
You could but that sounds like a lot of work and a waste of a claim. Most the time they send a brand new one anyway
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chadharrop:
How do you tell if your tep replacement is new or a refurbish
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hondaeatingtsi:
I have had TEP for as long as i have had sprint. Ever time i would take any of my phones to the sprint store they would fix them there if they had the parts. I never got sent a new or refub phone. I had an OG evo for a very long time i cracked the screen and they replaced it in the store. Mind you it was rooted with a custom rom and they never gave me a hard time about and never had to pay the deductible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chadharrop:
Well got my replacement phone today and it's refurbished. It was also allready updated to 4.3. Was going to change out the parts from this phone to the old and vice versa since my old one is still on the 4.2 bootloader. As I begin the process I noticed that a piece of broken plastic had gone through the mother board and destroyed a few things. Well now I am stuck with 4.3 boot loader.
[Moto X Q&A] jjl468:
Hi, whenever I unlock my phone through active notifications, the lock screen looks like this.

I would like it to look like this, however. I can get it to look like this by tapping outside the white square in the first screenshot. This screen also shows up when I wake up my phone using the power button instead of using active notifications. Is there a way to have the lock screen automatically look like the second screenshot I posted when I wake up my phone using active notifications?

I'm rooted, my boot loader is unlocked, and I'm running stock 4.4 with xposed.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
I've read in other threads that this is due to the active notification "prompting" for the unlock in a popup style window, versus you turning the screen on and entering the PIN without executive a task like going to the app in question.

I don't believe there is a way to change it except for pushing the power button instead of swiping the active display.
[Moto X Q&A] scottjb:
Wish we could change that. It makes it a pain to use the lock screen icons. You have to tap somewhere outside the PIN entry screen to access a widget.
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
I just wanted to let you all know my first impressions of the Z1s. A bit of background, I just traded in the LG G2. Before that I had the Lumia 1020, HTC One, S3, and then before that the iPhone.

Holding the Z1s in my hand feels very nice. It has a weight to it which just feels good. A lot of the phones such as the S3 feel like a toy or like you'd break it just by touching it. The Z1s does not have this issue.

The bezels on the top and bottom are HUGE. It doesn't look so bad once you get used to it but it's still a small issue (won't stop me from liking this phone though).

The screen gets quite bright and even when I'm outside it is visible. HTC One was quite the opposite and taking it outside in direct light was a nightmare. The viewing angles are not as bad as the reviews might make you think. I was expecting the worse but it's not bad at all. (And I still have the included screen protectors on).

This thing is ZIPPY. It just glides from one screen to the next. I know the specs help but I also think the very minimal UI is also a reason. I like it, reminds me a bit of stock google. I will be putting my favorite launcher on it (action launcher) and I don't think the silky performance will be affected.

Battery life right now sucks, but that is because it's downloading my apps/settings/etc. Sucking right now is a given so I can't really comment on it.

The camera is freakin nice. Coming from the Lumia 1020 and it's 40MP sensor I have high expectations for what can be done on a phone. This camera is easily the best camera on an ANDROID device. If google would get it's head out of it's ass and allow developers to adjust the shutter delay then it'd be even better.

The one big thing I hate right now, is the locked bootloader. I'm not sure what the hell Sony/TMobile was thinking. Hopefully it gets cracked soon. I'm a tweaker, the kind of guy that will try a different rom every week until I find the perfect one for me. Even knowing it is locked, I love this phone. SOMEONE will crack it open... I hope.

I'll come back and update this after a day or two then after a week or two. So far though, (even with the crappy locked bootloader) I'd suggest this phone to everyone.

Rob
[Xperia Z1 General] Hanozy:
You can unlock the BL if you want to.
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
how is the feel of the smaller screen .. 4.3" ?
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Not on all Z1's. He mentioned T-Mobile, and if he got it from them he can not unlock the bootloader. At least not without a new crack developed but I don't know if that will happen anytime soon.

Edit: I realized he said Z1S which is definitely T-Mobile and definitely not unlockable.

[MENTION=4551680]robamacaf[/MENTION] - great review, thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] randaddy:
How does the Z1s camera compare to the G2? I'm in the same boat as you, thinking about switching to the Z1s from the G2. I'm only concerned about the differences in battery life and camera quality, at least one would have to be better than the G2 for me to make the switch! Looking forward to your impressions. Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 General] PcFish:
Also, the number of Z1 cases (bumpers mainly) that I want can't be used on the Z1S because of that moved headphone jack!

I'm on the fence of getting a Z1S. It doesn't have aluminum sides like the Z1 counterpart. What's your opinion on it?
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
That is the Z1 compact, not the Z1s
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
The camera is the reason I switched. I was hoping for good things with the G2 but after I got it I tried taking photos of my kids in the living room at night and had to take 12+ photos to get one that wasn't blurry. It was frustrating. The Z1s has bigger pixels to capture more light and a higher resolution. I'll take some night photos tonight but so far the day time photos are great. If you don't know the Z1s does the same thing as the Lumia 1020 when it comes to photos. It takes a 20MP photo and then oversamples it down to the 8MP photo to keep the size down but also provide good details of the higher photos. This also allows the lossless zooming.

I'll give updated impressions but so far I really like it. We'll see how low light shots go tonight
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
I think it looks and feels premium. After doing some research they made it plastic to get better signal. It still looks metal so I don't mind it.
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
One thing I don't like is the placement of the USB port. I don't mind the flap, it takes 1 second to get off plus I knew the flaps were part of the waterproof phone. So I don't have an issue with it. I just don't like the USB port in the top left corner. It feels....wrong. Makes it hard to use the phone when it's plugged in and charging. I'll get used to it, but right now it's a bit of an annoyance.
[Xperia Z1 General] PcFish:
Answer this one more question and I'm sold on it.

How is the camera in low light compared to the HTC One?
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
I will let you know tonight. This was the big thing that I loved with the HTC One and Lumia 1020. The HTC One ROCKED in low light but the low details because of the low MP really hurt the phone. I'd go back to HTC One or HTC One Two in a heart beat if they raised the MP. I switched off of the LG G2 because the low light wasn't impressive at all. I'll post back in about 5-6 hours with pictures. I'll take some outside when the sun is going down, when the sun is gone, indoors and out.
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
Just wanted to give you a heads up. I traded in my Z1 back to Tmobile. While I can do with bad screen angles and such one thing I can't deal with is a bad battery that is non-removable. When I heard the Z1s had a 3000 battery I figured it'd be great because that is a pretty huge battery. My LG G2 was the same size and could easily go 1-2 days between charges. My Z1s was dropping 8-12% an hour with everything turned off.

I never bothered looking to see if the battery was ok before I bought it because everything said it was 3000mhz. Which is is. But after researching it after the fact I found out the Z1/Z1s has some of the worst battery life out of any major phone released in the last year. That coupled with the fact it has a locked bootloader made me return it. A great camera is only good if the phone has juice.
[Xperia Z1 General] jmwils3:
you do know that a phone's battery is worst when hyou first get it, because it starts off low and the phone is trying to reinstall all your apps and services, contacts, media, etc? You really only get a truly good read on a battery after all that is complete and the battery has gone through several full charging cycles.
[Xperia Z1 General] drsoran2:
My Z1 drops 1% in 6-10 hours and has one of the best battery life of any phone, especially in standby.

It once didn't even drop 1% after 10 hours, at that point I already thought the screen was frozen because the battery percentage didn't move, but the standby was just so good.

Screen on time is also great, just recently I reached 3 days (73 hours) with 4.5 hours of screen on.

Many threads around here prove the phone's great battery life.

And don't blame the phone or Sony for having an unlockable bootloader. Blame t-mobile as they probably demanded this.

I agree with the non removable battery, I don't like it.
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
Everything was already installed/synced/etc. I have had many phones over the months and no phone came close to sucking as bad as this did in the battery department right out of the gate. I can also give you sources if you'd like of reports on battery life where z1 came close to last on every one. In fact, I searched the interwebs for almost 2 hours and not a single battery report actually gave the Z1/z1s anywhere above average. They were all below average if not the worst around compared to modern phones
[Xperia Z1 General] fjevel:
Definately sounds like something was wrong in your case here. My Z1 easily lasts two days of medium use, with an hour of screen time, a few snapshots with the camera, gmail and exchange sync on and a little RunKeeper.

You should have used a wake lock detector to see what was eating your power. My guess is that google plus or Dropbox was running haywire. Has happened to me a few times on new handsets.

-KJ
[Xperia Z1 General] jmwils3:
that IS quite odd, because every single review I read on the Z1s gave high marks for the battery, saying it lasted at least a day of moderate use, though each person's mileage will vary depending on usage. I too picked up a z1s today, and while my battery hasnt been phenomenal yet, its been better than my HTC One was, and should only improve over the next few days and weeks. Did you tinker at all with Sony's built in power saving settings?
[Xperia Z1 General] ruinkhan:
I would advise to check this thread before you start heavy ROM flashing. Would be sad if your Z1 enjoyment finishes in couple days.
[Xperia Z1 General] robamacaf:
I did, and while I appreciate it having Stamina mode, etc. Other phones do not offer that and still get better life. On the Note III and LG G2 (both have 3000-3200 batteries) I don't have to make it turn stuff off for the battery to last. I appreciate what Sony was going for but it just didn't work for me. Maybe with the Z2 they are supposed to be announcing soon they will have fixed things like the battery draw/viewing angles, etc.

I think the Z1 line could be a beast. But Sony needs to make some tweaks to make it better in the long run.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
You need to unlock the bootloader. It may be different depend on which carrier version of the play you have. R800i and R800x can be done freely from Sony website. You have to pay third party drive like WotanServer to get the R800a unlock.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamfang:
hi all,

first of all, i am not a native speaker. and i am a newbie to smart phone. so please bear with my english or any stupid things i might said. :)

i am considering buying a LG G2. from what i learned, this phone seems to be a very good choice of it's price range. but i saw some sample videos of night or low light situation. the quality is just bad. and the sound is scary.

after some google research, i found a Jishnu Sur mod to improve the photo and video quality. since i can't post question in the dev section, i just have to post my questions here.

can anyone show me exactly how big is the improvement? any video sample for the lasted mod? especially at night or low light environment. the original LG camera seems to handle day time or bright situation well already.

and how about the sound quality? i saw the mod log said it also improved the watery sound problem. can anyone show me some sample?

can the moded G2 equal to the nexus5?

(i try to put a youtube link here. but the system stops me. so please search " Google Nexus 5 Night Sample Video" in youtube instead. sorry. i use N5 as a example just because they have very similar spec)

and if the Jishnu Sur mod can't. is there any other mod to improve the sound recording quality and the night video?

right now this is the biggest concern before my purchase.

oh, and as i said i am not a native speaker. i will need my phone to display non-english UI, fonts, app, etc. (in chinese for more specific)

if i flash the the mod or any other kind of mods from here, to a international version of G2. can i still have other languages in UI or interface?

thank you all for reading my question. and sorry again for my english.

Been using an app called Subsonic to stream music to my 2013 Ford Sync. Been working great for months until the Verizon update hit my phone at the end of December. After that, I was able to get Bluetooth streaming working again, but the display says "unknown artist / unknown track" for every song now. It used to display the id3 tag info. The Subsonic app did not update so I don't think it is the app.

Any suggestions.
