Yes! yes! yes ! Don't use powerful battery than device providers suggestion . More powerful battery can destroy devices harsware .

Click thanks if I helped
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
I think you mean mAh, maybe your autocorrect has gone haywire :p the capacity of a battery is measured in this unit... Milliampere hours. This is the amount of energy that the battery will allow to let 1 amp of current to flow in one hour. A mAh is NOT a measurement of energy, is a measurement of the speed of the flow of energy... Therefore it's nothing to do with the "power" of the battery. So to answer your question, a 2000mAh battery is absolutely fine as long as its from a reputable manufacturer such as Ankers or Mugen; DO NOT buy any higher capacity batteries with no brand name off eBay. If you're having trouble figuring out if the battery you want is safe then just post the link here and I'll check it out for you :) . another option would be to get a battery from you phone manufacturer which is higher capacity, for example many HTC phones use the same size battery but some are different capacities... Yeah beats me too :silly:

This is incorrect. Using a battery of a different voltage would be damaging, but I expect all phone batteries are similar, if not the same, voltage. A battery which provides too much current may be damaging too. But a higher capacity battery is perfectly safe provided the potential difference and current are the same as usual.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlfasMP:
You are right . But most people choose their battery by the size .

No one care it's voltage . I know some of them who damaged their device.

Thank you

Is there a way to disable or remove GPRS capability altogether? I don't have unlimited data and only wish to use wifi for inet access, but it keeps trying to connect to Cingular GPRS even though I removed it from the ISP settings completely.. Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mrBizzy:
Goto

>Start >Settings >Connections > Network Cards > Network Adapters

In the "My Network card connects to:" prompt, select the value "Work" instead of "The Internet".
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bompus:
Did that, and if I go into IE and try to navigate to a page, it still says "Connecting to Cingular GPRS" and then connects to it... Any more ideas? It "might" be an IE-only problem since Agile Messenger tells me it can't connect when there is no connection, but IE is autoconnecting to GPRS no matter what settings I choose.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kyphur:
Call cingular tell them you want GPRS Data blocked, when they do it, your phone will show an x next to the signal strength indicator (where the GPRS/EDGE icon lives)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bompus:
That sounds like the best idea so far... Anyone else got a better idea?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mrBizzy:
Also... after you do the above, goto >Start >Settings >Connections; and click on the "Connections" icon then click on the "Advanced" tab then click on "Select Networks" and choose "My Work Network" for both dropdown box. This should work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bompus:
Did all that.. IE still trying to connect to Cingular GPRS.. I tried to completely remove it from everything and somehow it still wants to connect if no connection exists already.. weird...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mrBizzy:
Thas wierd. It works on mine.. :) If no connection exists, IE will try to conenct to GPRS but it will fail on mine. It will only work when I am conencted to WiFi. Which ROM version do you have? I have 2.24.10.1 WWE.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cuboosh:

Is there any other way to do this??? I've been having the same problem with this new ROM. No matter what i do (select "My Work Network", fiddle with the GPRS settings), it ALWAYS wants to connect to the GPRS.

I'm having the EXACT same problem as the guy who started this post.

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bompus:
OK.. Either call the cell company and tell them to remove internet capabiltiy OR you can try REMOVING your "media Net" connection from your connections. It's in the place where you select between My ISP, Work, Media Net... Just go into Media Net and click on remove/delete or whatever and see if that works for ya.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] driverswanted:
it doesn't work, no matter what i do, it tries to connect via GPRS, and then it tries to dial a modem # starting with +1415XXXXXXX. its weird. i used to be able to just delete the ISP key, but not anymore. im running 2.24 Summiter ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] the_flames:

Just curious,...why do you have this phone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] drejtiv:
I have a Cingular 8125 (WIZA100) that I use about 50% of the time in areas that have no coverage. But, in those locations I do have access to many WiFi hotspots.

I too would like to disable GPRS search (my phone seems to spend much of its time trying to connect to the non-existent network.) Obviously calling the carrier does not help in this situation.

I assume there is a registry hack (or some such) to kill it. Has anyone found anything on the phone that will kill GPRS but keep WiFi Running?

Txs
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bompus:
I have not TRIED it but I would suggest trying out Opera as it probably is not integrated with GPRS as much as IE is. Just a hunch I am going to try as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guyver2077:
I used registry wizard to enable gprs always off..

However when i checked again it seems it is unchecked....

weird
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ktwildchild:
This might be because registry settings that are addressed in Tweaks2K2.

There is a registry setting that changes your Registry from a hive to a file. This is done because everytime you "reset" you registry apparently reverts back to the orginal registry and by changing it to a file it will hold the settings and changes. Maybe this will help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ronh:
I've done this as followed:

In the registry you've got the following key:

HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections

Thera are all your data connections.

Export this "connections" key to (ie) Data-on.reg

This is to enable GPRS later on.

In my dutch K-Jam I've got this connections:

NL-T-Mobile GPRS

NL-T-Mobile MMS

NL-T-Mobile WAP

Go inside every data connection and you'll find a key "Enabled".

This key has a value 0x1 (1), change this for every connection to 0x0 (0)

Go up the tree to Connections, and export this key to something like Data-off.reg

Just create a shortcut to the .reg files and you can toggle on/off.

You don't even have to reset the device or turn it off and back on again.

Notice: Data-off.reg only disables the connection. If you've got an active connection it stays active. You can kill the active connection by holding the end-call key for several seconds. Do this within the todayscreen, in other screens (like AS) this doesn't work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Tref:
I too have the 8125 and was very frustrated by this. Each time I would try to connect over WiFi, Edge would connect instead, no matter how I had the settings. So I tapped and held on the GPRS option and then deleted it. I did this in two places, and the only logical place for that would be under System/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks. But I can't duplicate the behavior now with what is left in those two drop down menus. And I can't remember for sure if this was the place where I did it. But GPRS is no longer an option and now when I connect via WiFi it connects every time and Edge/GPRS does not try to override it after I connect like I've read in other people's accounts.

No registry hack was required!

Personally I think this is a suspicious activity. It's almost as if the phone is set to persistently use Edge, perhaps because it is a source of revenue for the carriers, while wifi is not.

If you see GPRS under Select Networks, then that's the place because I no longer see it there.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] homealonedude:
try this

go to the connections tab in settings. then go to connections and the advanced tab. From there find the "media net" option in the drop down menu. select "edit". you will find in modem the gprs settings. press and hold this and delete it.

this should solve your problems. it did for me.

WARNING!!! this will delete them permanently. all mms and gprs will be gone for good.

im looking to buy a backup battery pack( the external portable battery)

not sure what the proper name for it

is there a battery pack that can last me 5-7 hours of continuous use ( for example on an airplane or camping) watching movies etc

i saw some at the airport on best buy vending machine but they were kinda expensive

so is there one with solar panel

and if there is one what is the best band for the buck

capacity. solar charging speed etc

somewhere in 60-150 dollar rance maybe?
[General Accessories] vectron:
The one with solar panel is a joke. You need direct sunlight and it will be charging for a day, waste of money.

You are looking for external battery. Those are inexpensive, I reviewed a ton of those (did you see a sticky at the top of the forum with all my reviews?). Or you can check out link directly from my signature.

Best one, the most popular brand on amazon hundreds/thousands of 5-star reviews, which I have reviewed is by Anker. For what you are looking, you should get the highest capacity which is also compact enough for traveling. For $50 you either get new gen Astro 3, 12000 mAh (http://www.amazon.com/12000mAh-External-Battery-Technology-Smartphones/dp/B00CEZBKTO/) or older Astro E5, 15000 mAh (http://www.amazon.com/15000mAh-Portable-Ultra-High-Capacity-External/dp/B00D5T3QK4/). Don't know what phone you have, but most likely these will be 6x-7x capacity of your phone battery. So we are talking about at least a day or so of continuous use with your phone ;) Read my reviews to find out which one you like better.
[General Accessories] fuzzysig:
thanks man i didnt even know they could go that long i was expecting 4-6 hours of continuous use.

i have galaxy s3 right now

and with that in mind i wanted the solar panel so i can leave it trickle charging while its sitting unused.

i dont plan to use it every day just when im away from charger on long trips when using navigation or airplane and such.

or camping for several days with no electrical outlets around

how bad is the solar charging on them

can yougive me an idea for example if i would leave it in the sun for a day ( sunny day)
[General Accessories] wolfen69:
From everything I've read, you have to leave it in direct sunlight for many hours just to recharge it back to 50%. Almost doesn't seem worth it.
[General Accessories] kms108:
Here is one i'm thinking of trying.

G power, power bank power modular.

power bank with 6000mAh upto 42000mAh or more, with included solar panel charger on the move.

I have a battery pack with solar...Useless I will say. Charging the pack goes quicker on direct ac than leaving it in the sun, charges extremely slow. I regret purchasing and does not even hold a charge that long.

I would like to start off by saying that this is for 4.2.2 bootloader only! If you see a KNOX counter in your bootloader, that means you have a 4.3+ bootloader!

If you want to flash the 4.3 modem, please follow my other guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544612

I have updated the modem package with the official Samsung modem.

This process can be done on any firmware.

Alright folks, back again w/ a tutorial on how to flash the 4.4.2 modem on your T-Mo S4!

*Please make sure your phone is in download mode before starting this procedure.

1. Download my 4.4.2 modem package here: http://goo.gl/09W6fR

2. Unpack the rar file to anywhere on your computer, as long as you can access it.

3. Open up the included Odin and uncheck auto reboot.

4. Click on phone, select the modem.bin, and press start.

5. When you finish the flash, manually reboot your phone back to download mode and flash the modem.bin one more time.

6. When the flash is complete, reboot and you're finished!

It should look like this after the flash:

If anyone has issues w/ their GPS after flashing, try downloading the Google Specific No-SSL build from http://goo.gl/ha1KC0 and flash it.

This can also be flashed if you are running a non-stock kitkat rom with the MK2 bootloader and want to try your luck with the new kitkat modem (gsm). Unless I'm missing something. Why do you call it "patched" modem? did you do something to the modem.bin? I could swear it was only necessary to pull the modem.bin of the kitkat release and flash it, without flashing the non-hlos.

Patched as in I manually took the modem files and updated them using the patches in the OTA. So, these ARE the official modem files.

Is the modem partition of the tmobile variant in /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ?

We could take rockratt's at&t flashable modem zips, substitute the modem.bin with our own for tmo, then edit the partition where the modem is in the updater-script and we'd have flashable zips. No?

Thank you so much. So it is confirmed that Samsung did the same thing with the latest (4.4.2) as they also did with the 4.3? Going forward, this will be a necessary flash to allow for the coexistence of the "Knox-free MDL boot loader" and any future "Stock TMo TW 4.4.2 ROMS" ? (By coexistence I mean Roms that have working audio and WiFi and data). Is this correct, or am I way off?

Ok, forgive me if there is something obvious here... I've flashed tons of ROMs, kernels and mods, but this is the first time I've flashed a modem.

For some reason, Odin is not recognizing my phone as being plugged into my computer. Neither the provided one, nor the one I used to root the device is reading it. I have the drivers installed and I can access the phone via Explorer, but Odin doesn't see it. Does Odin not work if you're under 80% battery, because I feel like I've heard that before... I've included a screen shot of my system info in case anything there is helpful.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Try changing the USB connection mode. Does your PC actually see all of your files on the phone and not just the folders? When I have my USB setting toggled it sees the folders and not the files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EzraGarrison:
I've tried that and everything else from updating the drivers to trying a different USB slot to entering download mode manually rather than from the reboot menu. I've never had Odin just not recognize my phone before. And like I said, neither the Odin provided here nor the one I used to root would read it, but yes, the computer sees everything. This is making me crazy... I'm sick of the data drops on this modern and I really want to flash NB4, but this is nuts...

From no bars to full bar. This works great!

Some personal experience notes to future people:

I went straight from MDB to NB4.

Make sure the phone doesn't fully boot up after the first flash. When you flash the 2nd time, boot straight in to download mode from power off. I tried to use the "boot in to download" option in the power menu. It will not flash if you get in to download mode the 2nd time using that method.

Need to flash modem to SIM UNLock using Service menu

Hi,

I need to SIM Unlock my S4 through Service Menu, but currently i am having latest OTA Updates on the device i.e. NB4 bootloader with NB4 modem. I have gethered that if i flash my modem back to MDL version i would be able to get the service menu through which i can unlock my device. Based on this i have been browsing xda to find steps to flash my NB4 modem to MDL on NB4 bootloader. However, i couldnt find any such thread. Your both the tutorials are talking about flashing 4.2 and 4.3 modem on 4.2.2 bootloader. And since you have specifically mentioned that these steps work specifically for 4.2.2 bootloader, i assume that same steps wont work for my NB4 bootloader or brick my device.

Hence require your help if you could guide me in my problem. My device config is as follows:-

T Mobile Samsuing Galaxy S4 with latest OTA updates installed and everything by default including ROM and other components. The device was rooted to install Region Lock Away App but it didnt succeeded.

Please help!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vlad2277:
Your assumptions are wrong !!!

First, I hope you know that by rooting Knox bootloader you have tripped a flag and voided your warranty.

Second, you can't downgrade Knox bootloader, it will brick your phone.

Third, you could have just called T-Mobile to get sim unlock code.
