Battery case could be the most practical gadgets for Galaxy S5,before the mophie juice pack come out or don't think it's a good solution on cost, then we may get to find some replacement, however, we may also get some fake capacity battery case which doesn't last a long time... get to know the 4800mah case and if someone tried yet ?

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] fastfed:
Thats cool and all, but IMO those are for Gphones.

Or other phones with silly non removable batteries. I think a huge benefit to the galaxy line is the fact we can swap a battery within seconds. it would take less room in your pocket than having that case and give you DOUBLE the life rather than 60% more or whatever that case gives you.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
I programmed the gear to sync data every 3 hours, but it doesnt work. Even if i press "sync now" it doesnt take the data from the watch. It seems as if the phone and watch each calculate my steps in their own way and never talk to each other... Anybody know why? Honestly, I'd stop the phone from counting my steps because its inacurate as it sits on a counter for most of the day, the watch is always on me so i know i can trust its data.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Aduarte:
It does not sync with s-heath, at least the original version on your note, instead you should download Fitness with Gear app from Samsung store. Everything will be fine.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
What note? I have an S5
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
I just found the source of my problem. In the step counter on S-Health, i had to touch the 3 dots and select data from device for the phone to use my gears data.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Civuck:
What version of S Health does the new S5 have as it seems older phones like the Note 3 are currently limited to an older version that doesn't have the same level of integration with the new Gear 2 devices?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Civuck:
Here's the one on my Note 3
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
Look on the forum, the s5 apk is avalable for sideloading
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bckrupps:
i work for samsung. again if you have other phones including the note 3 they work great with fitness with gear and sync perfect. if you side load s-health and the health services app you will have trouble with both apps. s-health works with kitkat only properly as it was explained to me. if you have side loaded s-health and health services delete them and use fitness for gear as they have almost the same function and it works perfect on my note 3 and has most of if not all of the functionality of s-health
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Compusmurf:
Samsung dude you need to suggest a web or pc interface where the data is useful and importable to other apps
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bckrupps:
i agree totally
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Civuck:
Still bugs in Fitness With Gear app: can't change Miles to Kilometers on Pedometer screen and Last Update time on that screen is listed in UTC rather than local time. Also, no data is reported on Sleep Monitor screen for hourly reporting.

I'm not sure fitness app works with s5, i dont see it in playstore, samsung apps, and i even tried to sideload it but the install fails
[HTC Incredible S] Thellubian:
I have a HTC Incredible S (VIVO) and I did rooted it and did revolutionary.

In recovery it shows as S-OFF revolutionary. And I have tried flashing various custom ROM's as well.

Now my question is I want to make it stock in every point of view. I have downloaded RUU for ICS from HTC Dev website.

I would like to know that flashing RUU will make it stock? i.e.Locked bootloadre and HTC Recovery, S-OFF, No Root, No Revolutionary etc.

Will it wipe all the sin my device has ever made and will it make it feel fresh like a new born?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Trying to run the stock RUU with Revolutionary S-OFF will not work. You need to remove Revolutionary S-OFF before you can run the RUU.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ishnum:
Should I try slim extended battery on my new Galaxy S5 G900T? My friend who owns one for his Note 3 from MPJ said it has a bit more power but still fit the original back. How do they get more power in the same size? I don’t expect it is 4300mAh, but at least last 2-3 hrs longer. Maybe I should try it out myself…
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zamboney:
This shouldn't be a difficult question to reason out for yourself. Do you really think if it was possible to cram 4300mAh into a battery of the same size, Samsung, one of the world's leading tech companies, would be total retards and use a battery with 30% less juice in their flagship phone? use your brain ffs!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Martinjv71:
and your a likeable guy huh?........... Your so smart your must be an Aerospace Engineer... he was asking a basic question... and BTW..YES... The 3200mAh battery on Ebay lasts longer..So Samsung could have done better but..... They don't make it max capacity in hopes that people will buy extra batteries from them. Be nice and not mean to people asking basic questions.. your a senior member so please act like it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ilordvader:
I agree :good: :good: :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ewokuk:
Actually its more than 50% more capacity, I have no clue where you got 30 from, use your brain ffs!

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

That's wrong as well, not making it higher capacity is hardly going to make people go and buy more batteries from them is it, its going to make people go buy more batteries based on the false advertising from the likes of MPJ. And while I am on the object, I would love to know how the hell they get away with claiming the mAh that they claim on these things because it's plainly obvious without even going near one of the batteries that it isn't possible.

What WOULD make people go buy more Samsung batteries is if they had a 'premium' higher capacity version and sold it for a higher price. People would fall over themselves to buy it and Samsung would make a killing. Since they have never done this, I suspect it's highly likely that although it may be possible to squeeze a bit more out of the same size, the methods in doing so mean the battery is less stable, less reliable, and doesn't work for as long, as seen in all the batteries like this from Anker to MPJ.

Now what WOULD be interesting is a battery that is physically larger and takes up the space used by the water proofing. So you lose the waterproofing but gain a big chunk of battery power, now that I think IS possible, it just needs someone with the foresight to produce it. There are many people, myself included, who aren't the slightest bit interested in the waterproofing because we don't plan on dropping it down the toilet or into the bath every 5 minutes so would gladly sacrifice this for a nice bump in battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] chriskwarren:
I always buy extra batteries for my phones. Note 1, Note 2, S4, and now the S5.

I have yet to see a battery that was the same size as OEM and had higher capacity. Anker had one that I tried that had I think 100ma higher capacity, but when I placed the battery in my phone it was a tighter fit. So really in my books it was a bigger battery.

I am not saying its not possible to get higher capacity than OEM in a slim battery, but I have not come across a slim battery that met lofty claims yet. For this reason, I now tend to stick to an OEM battery as I can trust that it will operate in a predictable manner. Add in the waterproofing seal on the current S5, I would try my best to stick with a battery that maintains OEM dimensions.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] staticinferno:
Sorry for the thread necromancy!

I know this is blatant thread necromancy but the viewpoints left here are skewed at best.

I am what you would call a vaper. I work for a company that thrives on making and selling electronic cigarette juice. i also get to see how LI-ION Cells have evolved as LI-ION and LIPO cells are choice for our devices albeit more commonly in a tube cell form.

I have seen both 18650 and 26650 cell specs explode over the last year and to discount innovation and advancement in favor of an ideal that it will always be the same is rather preposterous. It all depends upon what is crammed into the housing. I have seen 2Ah 26650 cells with a 30a load rating and 6 months later here comes a 4.2Ah cell sporting 40a continuous with 60a 7 second pulse rating. I got to torture test these new cells as a daily vape as well as the old. The new cells were clearly head and shoulders above the old. Lipos are the same way. I have a cell pack in a 2s1p config that sports 4.2ah with a 65c/130c+ rating.

i'll spell the lipo bit out. A c rating in the lipo world can be used to find your ah rating. 65*4.2=273 continuous run amp load.

130*4.2=546 max pulse amp load.

the 2s1p stands for 1 pack of 2 cells wired in series for a nominal voltage of 7.4 (8.4 when fully charged.)

The point is the size of this pack is very small and packs a wallop compared to other lipo packs that have the same ratings but are larger in physical size. My pack however is top of the line from one of the most well known and reputable cell pack makers. The others are knock offs.

To cut it short perhaps the OEM LI-ION packs in our phones are the same way. Perhaps the OEM packs are of knock off make and the 4200mah packs that have been found are more efficient and of better quality. With the way phones are phasing out expandable storage in favor of "data hogging" cloud storage (which mind you opens you to risk of EXPENSIVE data overages) i would't be surprised to see our precious little phone companies like samsung and LG and others using cut corner tactics. Until i see actual usage and testing with results on a graph, i wouldn't pass judgement. You might just get your mind blown like i do just about every other day.

Technology is an ever evolving creature and it's simply FASCINATING to sit back and watch it all take new form and make our lives better.

again i apologize for the thread necromancy but there were key pieces of information missing with a mindset of bash the newcomer. For the price i'm game to try it for sure!

If i have offended anyone i apologize in advance and assure you that in no way am i out to cause any drama or hurt feelings.

As a matter of fact i'm off to study these mpj packs to see how people feel. Just might find myself a graph full of information as well!

Cheers!

[G2 Accessories] BobTheDuck99:
I've browsed around and seen a few of the posts, but all I can really find that works as a wallet for the Verizon G2 is the one at the Verizon store. It's not quite what I need, though. I'm looking for a wallet case, flip or not, that holds 3-4 cards and has a slot for some cash. Has anyone found anything else that works for the Verizon model that they'd recommend?
[G2 Accessories] baz6:
I ended up with the Belkin Wallet Folio myself, think that's the one you're talking about from the Verizon store. My impressions of it are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50611907

I can fit two credit cards and my ID in it, and it works well with my tempered glass screen protector from iloom.

I have the PureGear wallet folio as well, but I don't like the floppy hinge type cover. Much prefer the Belkin design of having a plastic clasp.

For what it's worth, it took a good couple weeks for the Belkin to stretch enough to get 3 cards in and out easily. I don't really ever carry cash, and I've not noticed ANY wallet style folio cases for the Verizon G2 that have a decent cash slot. The PureGear has a cash slot, but with the floppy hinge design I'm not convinced it wouldn't easily fall out.

I finally had to learn that to carry your phone in a wallet style case, you have to trade off the conveniences of a true wallet. It's been worth it for me though.

Anyway, my two cents. Hope it helps some.
[G2 Accessories] thetolsonator:
Looks nice, might also try out the Incipio Watson Folio (http://goo.gl/cmD1Mn) for non-vzw phones.

Anyone help please ;)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You follow the instructions in the OP of the "Update to 757" thread by [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] and in the OP to the dual recovery thread.

True, updating with the [NUT] ROM will update DualRecovery as well.

There is Beta version installer and flashible zip, Im sorry for asking so many questions. I just need to be sure, even tho Im learning new things.

Thanks :=
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
As has been mentioned in the comment above, when you update to .757 using [NUT]'s method the recovery is inside the flashable.zip. All you need to do is flash the flashable zip and the stripped FTF and you will get the newest recovery as well as the newest firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Just go to the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section and update following the instructions. Then update to [NUT]s 757

There have been issues of people getting the .zip failing to flash from a lower version of the dual recovery, so it is wise to update that first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldenwrath:
So I cracked the screen on my nexus I9250T (very small crack on glass only) and the screen doesn't turn on any more. Is it possible to kill the display that easily? I've checked connectors on the board itself and it all seems fine. Also if I do need to replace the screen is there any specific type that I should buy for an Australian phone?

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AASonyKK:
I think you was unlucky. Often even with big crack (on every phone) the screen turns on anyway. You can have damaged an important part of the screen (not only the external glass) and because of this it doesn't turn on anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] calvin35:
My goodness this thing is fast. I didn't think Samsung was capable of making a phone that didn't lag but boy was I wrong. The animations are shooter smooth and more importantly fast, no more touching the screen and waiting for something to happen. The camera takes great detailed pictures and I'm loving the new toolbox feature. On the S3 and S4 I rooted, installed a custom recovery, and immediately installed an aosp based rom. However on the S5 I see absolutely no need to do so and while I did root and use TB to freeze a few apps, i will probably wait for some good TouchWiz roms before installing a recovery.

With the S5, Touchwiz is finally usable. I spent some time with the S5 in stores, and am now running an S5 rom on my Note, and it is greatly improved. TW on the Note 3 was a big improvement over the Note 2, but there was still a lot that I hated, like the god awful tabbed settings menu. When I get mine, the only reason I'll root is so I can use Titanium and won't lose app data. Can't wait until I can JUMP May 2nd, which coincides with my last day of classes, so I'll celebrate the end of my first year with a new phone. I'll miss the Note's size, but I'm bored of it, and need something to hold me over until the Note 4.

Hi all,

Hoping i posted this in the correct section but i'll start off.

So i've had my S4 for about a year and a half now, a couple days ago the phone's started to act up. It turned off, wouldn't turn back on, i did the typical battery pull but the weird thing is when i did, the phone would vibrate right after i put it in, the GS4 logo comes up and then it just shuts off. I've tried to charge it and it won't work, tried doing a battery pull and then putting it back in then quickly plugging the charger in before it vibrates and nothing. Does anyone know what my issue could be? I can post some pictures to help reference but any knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated.

I hate to bump such an old thread, but I've looked and looked and haven't found many threads with this issue. So, might as well bring the issue to the front so it's visible.

I'm having this exact issue as of this morning. The phone shows the Samsung logo after booting up for a bout 1-2 seconds before turning off. Won't power on until the battery is pulled/replaced. Only powers on for 1-2 seconds again.

If it's plugged into the charger, the same thing happens, except instead of the Samsung logo, it's the empty battery logo with the cogwheel, before turning off 1-2 seconds later.

Worked fine last night, this morning, nothing.
