[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambhavmathur:
Whenever I make, receive or even check my balance(which had absolutely nothing to do with the sensor), after the call is over proximity sensor still works! :crying: :eek:

Gets pretty annoying some time Later, can't work, play games, watch movies just somehow hand comes in front of it and then Sensor detects it and black out the entire screen!

Please if someone knows anything about it, I desperately need their help! Thanks. :good:

Might sound silly, but have you enabled all your Samsung Air/Gesture commands etc? -- also Smart stay/Pause?

If so, disable them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambhavmathur:
I absolutely never enable them they're off since I got my phone but the sensor still continues to annoy me! :( :confused:

What should I do to stop it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadigre:
there are a few thread for proximity sensors problems... search and you will find some useful information.

but in short, there is probably some dust in front of the proximity sensor.

a temporary fix is to blow some air in the earpiece... but the problem will eventually come back.

I do this once a month.

The other thing you can do is disassemble your phone, clean the proximity sensor lens, maybe add some kind of protection to protect it from dust... and reassemble everything.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambhavmathur:
But how to disassemble the phone it must be a risky business!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadigre:
If you have the tools, is not very difficult...

Try going to Settings>General>Application manager>All>Phone and clearing data.

If that doesn't help, try doing a factory reset.

Failing that, try availing warranty, or if you are Knox 0x1, try another ROM.

His problem seems to be a software issue and not a hardware one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadigre:
I had the exact same problem with my device... and the problem is hardware (dust in front of the proximity sensor)...

I tried everything, including a factory reset, and the only thing that fix it (for now) is to blow some air in the earpiece.

Next step will be to disassemble and clean the sensor manually

A New Development

Before when I call or receive a call from anybody the proximity sensor still worked and turned the screen off even after the call, but now my phone is acting even more weird!

After the call the headphone jack is also not working!

Desperately need assistance guys, pls help!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexpsilos:
Hello,a week ago my proximity sensor started making bizarre things.The screen stayed black after calls etc etc. I went to Samsung in Greece and they changed the sensor.I had the phone back after 4 days...4 difficult days because I am in love with my phone but now everything is working fine. I saw a lot of threads in forums about proximity sensor problems on this phone...too bad! :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambhavmathur:
But I can't send my phone to Samsung because I rooted it and that triggered Knox warranty so I probably need some other way!

If anybody knows anything please help!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Well, you could just disable the proximity sensor and turn the screen off manually by pressing power.

Phone --> Call Settings --> Turn off screen during calls.

Not ideal, but at least you can still use your phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexpsilos:
Try what he says! if this do not work then, or you have to pay to get your phone fixed or find a way to fix it yourself (buying a new proximity sensor and changing it through the help of videos).The second option will be a pain in the *** and I would never try it as I am not sure if it could go well.

Hey Guys,

I know this has been asked a lot of times already, but all those links point to international sites. There are a number of batteries available on ebay.in but I'm really skeptical about them.

So I was wondering if any one of you have bought one of those or from any other source and satisfied with the battery, would you please share the links?

I might buy a new phone eventually, but I want to keep this one alive :) It's not easy to give up on this guy! :D

:good:
[HTC Desire S] VnnAmed:
Well if you are going for quality, buy an original one. Just google htc store. If you want something propably better go for mugen. These are expensive choices. If you want something cheap there's no big difference really, or no tests availble, so just buy the one that has the color you like.
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
I got my replacement battery and it has 4hours + of screen on time, which is sufficient till the next charge and enough to last me a day with heavy usage, Epower. But i think i got a bad bargain, seems a bit pricy, but more than a few months now, and the battery seems durable and it didnt explode :D
[HTC Desire S] MikeObserver:
Someone please provide a link to any trusted product. And it should be available in India.

I bought one from eBay which supposed to be original but the new battery got quickly discharged after a few cycles and now it is also inflated. In need of a good battery.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Go to ebay and search "Replacement 2450mAh Battery for HTC Incredible S G11 Desire S G12 A7272 DesireZ" I have this one from hi-etech. No problems at all.

It isn't available in eBay India. And wherever it is available, the shipping costs are more than the product's cost.

Thank though! ☺

I bought a 2450 mAh GOLD BATTERY from eBay back in September 2013, it's still going strong. The battery was made in Japan but I bought it from a UK seller (as I live in the UK). I believe it says it's for the Desire Z on it, but both phones use the same batteries so it's fine.

Greeting developers (excuse my messed up grammar, non native speaker here)...!! (also a noob)

I was trying to configure the VPN settings for my chinese AVA v500 smartphone, i rooted it (with some chinese software) and it was just peaches. Then i partitioned the SD card to help the RAM with Link2SD app. Using this app i started moving some apps and system parts to the SD card in order to make it faster ( i assume) but then, something terrible happened.. My desktop screen went pitch black. I mean, it dosent rotate nor anything, and dosen`t show any icon or else. On the other hand, the upper slide screen (wifi, 3g, silence, and bluetooth) still works, i the phone calls still get in, i can access only to the USB config (NOT the debbugging setting, only the USB docking, USB storage and so...)

Ok then, my chellphone as i said was just rooted, so i had this "Terminal" app (sort of MSDos) and i hitted Reboot Recovery, it went to the recovery screen, did the wipe out thing, and went just well, but it still the same, black screen with nothing but the USB options and the sliding menu available. The chinese program i mentioned before had this sort of feature where when i plugged the smartphone to the PC. i popped out some screen with some chinese sit on it, i could recognize the icon of the ESfiles or explorer, but now i cant even do that, or access the internet anyhow.

I've been looking around on the internet for options but all i see demands, or Debugging mode, internet, or any sort of app instaled on the phone...

So guys, this is the thing, i need a solution that only involves my laptop, a USB wire, and a half dead chinese smartphone.

Extra difficulty: it's my girlfriend cellphone, wich i just bought her. and she is going to be soooooo damn mad at me... so the faster the better...

REGARDS, DEVELOPERS...!!

Dennis Woodside , a Man with a Mission sent in by google to change the destiny of motorola Resigns from his position to work as COO of Dropbox ahead of the Lenovo deal

Mr Woodside was known to be quite down to earth and he even shifted his office from Adminstration floor to a desk in basement where the engineering team worked

A sad news indeed for Moto Lovers
[Moto G General] wrj54:
This is not good
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
As the Ceo leaves many of his trusted minions in top positions would start leaving too And other companies would start poaching good engineer thus driving away the talent pool of Moto....this might be the end of moto
[Moto G General] satheesh.a:
Mr Woodside is a very nice and ambitious guy. try watching his presentations in youtube. he is the brains behind our great moto G. If he is leaving the company means there must be some thing between lenovo management and him. its mostly likely to be incompatibility of ideologies of lenovo and woodside. I think this is doom for motorola. :crying:
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Yes he was a awesome ceo.....but I think its becoming a trend for Big Ceo's to leave companies for smaller ones

Maybe Next think we hear Tim Cook (apple guy) leaving it to become CEO of flappy Birds
[Moto G General] helppme:
ok, lets be objective about this. In two years the 'apparent' profitability of Motorola has fallen through the floor. Google has gouged the relevant patents and then sold on the bones to Lenovo at a massive cut price.

Either the CEO's job was the present the façade of a successful company ready for resale while it was looted, or he kinda failed if he was 'really' trying to bring moto mobile back to its former glory. It doesn't surprise me he is leaving.

The MOTO G and the MOTO X, imo are great phones, however they do not mean Motorola is a success. If it really was, google would have kept it, or sold as a profit, not a massssssive loss.

Lenovo were buying the brand, nothing more. It is totally expected that half the leadership team would leave...

I'm sure someone will come forward stating that Google actually made a profit, or mitigated their losses through acquiring patents etc. This is my point exactly. Either the CEO was just giving the appearance of success while asset stripping, OR there was still more value in Motorola and google should have kept it. Google made a loss in the hundreds of millions, if not billions even taking into account the patents etc with motorola. These may net out in the future because of additional asset streams from the patents, but this is speculation. In addition, Google press release on the sale is of course extremely well loaded with positive spin. This is no different from any other companies actions. They will always promote the upside to ensure share price growth/stability. What company in their right mind would make noise about increased liabilities from an acquisition, or suggest a business arm was failing just before it is sold!

Imagine I was about to sell a car, you think I would tell everyone I was stripping out all the best bits and selling on the crap BEFORE the sale.

Imagine I was buying a factory, you think I would tell my investors it was a big risk and might be overpriced, or you think I would tell them it's a great deal.... think about it...
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
There are some statistics available around the internet which shows that Google's loss wasn't as massve as you may think..Anyway we will wait for the google quarter's report

And Dennis ofcourse did not slingshot the company back in profit....you can't do that in such a short time but he made the brand value 'sellable' again

Moto x can be called the best phone of 2013 for some!

and some of Moto X's r & d made its way to Moto G which is Definately the best middle range/budget phone of 2013

I would call that a success!!

[Moto G General] helppme:
Any half decent company can make the top phone if they are willing to make it for a loss.

In the world of investment and corporate take overs, any loss is a failure.... :(
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
No ofcourse its Not!

Even apple had seen some huge losses.......you will keep failing until you succeed...that's the mantra

Sent from Samsung Chat
[Moto G General] centavar:
And what of Google’s supposed $10bn loss? It’s a misreported myth calculated by subtracting Motorola’s $2.91bn sale price from its $12.5bn purchase.

What it misses are the $3.2bn Motorola had in cash, $2.4bn saved in deferred tax assets and two separate Motorola unit sales totalling $2.5bn in 2013

. Factor in Lenovo’s purchase against roughly $2bn of Motorola losses during Google’s ownership and Google has still only paid $3bn for what it retained: $5.5bn worth of Motorola patents and the company’s cutting edge research lab.

Google aren't fools you know. ;)

4800mAh battery for HTC Universal & Variants

Why would one want a 4800mAh battery? I myself am an extremely heavy Pocket PC user. I listen to music, play games, test skins, organize my life, movies, email, web and the list can go on. Now just add talk time and a constant radio on to receive calls, this is where battery life can get depressing! So I purchased the 4800mAh battery from www.lionbattery.com to fulfill my powerful needs.

As of now I am in the process of getting a carrier plan/tariff. So in this matter I will not be able to test stand by and talk time on my XDA Exec. However if you would like to know how much more stand by and talk time you would get on your HTC Universal, I have a simple formula for you.

Example:

User 1 claims to get 7 hours of battery life per full charge. Convert your hours to minutes, 7 hrs = 420 min. Take the 420 minutes and multiply it by 2.962, then covert the result to hours by dividing by 60. Your result times may vary but User 1’s battery life is now 20.7 hours. This is a significant increase in battery life for a Universal!

Formula:

BL = Claimed Battery Life

H = Hours

M = Minutes

XH = Extended Battery Hours

XM = Extended Battery Minutes

Step 1

(BL) x 60 = (M)

Step 2

(M) x 2.962 = (XM)

Step 3

(XM) / 60 = (XH)

The formula given is based off the i-mate JasJar’s standard battery and may differ on variants. In addition the formula and battery life may not be correct if your device in not used consistently.

Now for the pictures! I am sorry on the image quality. My digital camera is dead and I am left with a PDA that has a sketchy 1.3 mega pixel camera. And Photoshop can only do so much. :D

Before The Extended Battery:

With The Extended Battery Installed:

Overall the battery is very good quality and Lion Battery and their suppliers stand behind their products with great support, which I like. :D The new battery door goes where the original would go, so nothing is covered that isn’t necessary. The camera functions just like it used too, the new door has no affect on it whatsoever. All this power for am mere 1cm of added thickness.

Any other questions let me know. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] JasperJanssen:
How well does it do at 'laptop mode', sitting on the base in landscape mode, typing on the keyboard? Does the new cover have a few rubber feet like the original, so it doesn't slide (since the original rubber feet are now off the ground)? And does it rock at all when you type perhaps a little bit too wildly on the keys towards the edge of the keyboard?

Also, what's the added weight?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BUMP THAT:
It does well in laptop mode. It doesnt rock or knock when typing in laptop mode. It does not have the rubber feet to keep it from slidding, thats one flaw. :(

It does feel heavier, but not significantly. I am the wrong person to ask the weight questions, since I wieght lift anything under 5 lbs in nothing to me. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:

3200mAH

Ok i got myself a 3200mAH from the pdashop.nl at 59 euros.

I took some pictures to show you that it looks really good and not a botch job. (Cant see it very well on your pictures of your 4800mAH but it seems it looks crooked at the bottom?)

If you check out the pictures below you will see it looks really good and i would recommend it to anyone!

Huge difference in play time as compared to the original 1600mAH, charged it full yesterday at 13:00, made a few phonecalls played about 20 minute of games and then last night i used it almos 4 hours with wifi on to chat on MSN.

This morning at 10:00 the battery life was still at 73% :shock: WOW the old battery would have been empty already.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
Thanks for the pictures dvl. Can you post a link on where you bought yours please?

I hope Bump That could also post nice quality close-up pictures, as I prefer to buy the 4800. If I am going to use a chunky Universal, I'd go for the higher capacity one.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BUMP THAT:
I will post more pictures later today. The entire new battery door covers evenly and symetrically. So everything is even and not crooked.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] dvl:
ehh

hej bumb that..

it must be that piece of plastic you have underneath your phone which kinda makes you wonder if it is crooked.. lol

ok reason i got mine is because it was only 59 euros..

i find 200 euros a lot of money.. but that is of course up to the user itself.

I bought mine at www.pdashop.nl
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BUMP THAT:
Its actuall two hundred USD 200.00 USD = 160.00 EUR (about)

Some more pix.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] dvl:
hmm

hej a mate of mine has a similar battery cover like that one used for the 4800mAH when he takes a picture with the camera it gives a rounded edge around the picture? does yours have that too? The distance to the lens cover has been heightend and creates problems. Would be nice to see a picture take with that cover on?

anyway looks like a neat cover. and 160 euros sounds way better.. maybe someone should do a comparisment between the 4800 or the 3200mAH would be nice to see some graphical tests.

:lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
Thanks for the pictures guys. I like the cover of the 4800 even though it covers part of the lens. I don't use the camera app anyway. I prefer it because it creates an even bottom with a wider surface area, better for typing on surfaces.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BUMP THAT:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] shuflie:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] bleugh:
am I stupid?

call me silly, but why not 'make' a charger for the device

just a bunch of 4 NIMH batteries gives you 5V

bung 'em on a USB connector

and voila, you have a portable charger

heck, even if it don't work at 4.8, use 5 batteries in series and a diode, that'll give you 6v - 07 = 5.3, or even use a low dropout reglator
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BUMP THAT:
Honestly I havent use the flash since I got my Exec. I only used the camera app 3 times. All I do i listen to music. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
Just when I wanted to order, the 4800 is OUT OF STOCK.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] loopback:
Re: am I stupid?

imho thats useless.. you would only take the "charger" with you when you know that you would need the extra battery power afterwards, but then you could also charge in advance. and i doubt that anyone will always carry that thing around, just to make sure to have enough battery power for any possible situation.

with the 4800mAh extended battery you dont have to think "do i need more power afterwards or not?"
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:

I have couple of this thing. And I never used it anymore, since I found that this is indeed has no regulator whatsoever inside as what they claimed. And in reality, with fresh 4AA Alkaline, it will charge only 1 time, and most of the time, it will reduce your battery charge instead of the charging it. Be aware!
