i've been trying to find an app that measures the actual battery capacity.. i havne't found one yet... what do you use?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] illustrious.hr:
try Battery Calibration by Nema, it is on play store
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hermosa:
Since a bigger battery means the battery is thicker,the original back cover wouldn't fit,then you need to use a specific cover which would make your phone heavier.

Right now I am in this trouble,I got a Onite 4500mAh extended battery with a blue cover,hopefully it's a great product, shipping as listed and battery performs exactly as listed,I just don't like the cover,it made my phone looked heavier.I was wondering maybe I should choose a power bank and put back my OEM one on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aybarrap1:
This is true. You also need to account for your usage. If you do a lot of activity that heats your battery up (games, navigation, etc.) Then even a shelf stored battery will help since heat is another Li-ion killer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] David.Dunbar:
My S3 was 2 years old in May of this year. I have been having issues with the battery and charging. My USB charging port has the classic loose connection issue as does the headphone jack. I see the fix and YouTube videos to repair but have not yet done that. I last week got my new OEM Samsung battery and the external charging kit. I just upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 NDA8 despite being eligible for a new phone discount from Sprint. My S3 is a 32gb unit and I will not buy a S5 with only 16gb, no way no how.

The new battery is performing very well. It is so close on updating to 4.4.2 that I can not be certain that there were not issues with my rooted 4.1.2 build after so many months. For sure the new battery is lasting longer. I think it was worth the $42.03 spent on the charger and battery as my USB port is in question and I can always swap batteries and charge with the external charger.

My S3 has a new lease on life and I can wait for new tech before upgrading. xda developers forum - root - and the desire for liberty is a powerful combination.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
why not try using wireless charging? the qi reciever + charger should not cost you mote than 35 bucks. and you can still use your current battery, battery cover, & nfc, unlike powermat.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dabyd64:
A 2 year battery will definitely be worn-out. Depending on the charging cycle count, could be only a 20%,but maybe a 50 or 70%.

I bought a Zerolemon 7000mAh battery few months a go, I'm usually getting 4-5 days on normal usage, and 11-13h of screen on.

Best bought I have ever made.

I Have A Samsung homesync GT-B9150 I Was using odin to flash firmware and now i'm stuck at the Samsung homesync screen, tried re-flashing firmware, firmware flashes but i'm still stuck in boot loop. so does anyone know how to get this out of boot loop . Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redsmity81android:
Did you ever find a fix for this ? Would of been a dam sight easier if there was rocker buttons on the side all it needs a cache and factory reset and it's fixed
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangxiao:
techman20, have you ever solved this? I ran to exact same issue and have been tried different methods for the past 2 days. I'm new to Android so need community's help.

Here is the current state of my device (GT-B9150 Samsung Homesync):

- In order to get root, flashed ROM MJ1 (TUR version), followed this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2497102

- After flash the device got very slow so I figured I need to wipe the data and cache partition

- There is no volume key of the device so I use adb to reboot to recovery mode (debug mode has been enabled earlier), again there is no key so I didn't know how to select in the screen (should have use adb command as well, I was not that familar with adb), instead I put into the command rm -r /data, then the device dead

- After reboot the device stuck in the bootloop: I see samsung logo and homesync logo, NO adb connection (I think the debugging mode is not on)

- I tried flash a few other versions of the ROM and it does not working as well, all stuck same at the bootloop

I figured if I can wipe the data and cache partition after a fresh installation of ROM the device could be saved.

Here are a few path that I see can solve this:

Option 1: Get into recovery mode, but I don't know the key combination, also adb is not working so seems can not use command line either

Option 2: Since I'm able to get into download mode, I can use Odin to flash some sort of bootloader with adb function, so that I can later use command to get into recovery mode

Option 3: Complete wipe out the device, re-partition using Odin

Since I'm new I don't exactly know if any options here makes sense and what are the risk for each. Also I don't have the pip for option 3. Would be great if any expert here can shed some light on, it's been bothered me for 2 entire days at weekend.

Thanks,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shantonu:
for boot loop you need to clean data and cache partition. To do that you need to go to recovery mode.

To do that, turn off the device , hold the power button. First you will see its power on, keep it pressed. And after 5s , you can home sync will rebooted to recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiaLover:
Hi all, I know this is too old subject, but unfortunately I had my homesync flashed firmware through Odin and I did nand erase all, it is now stuck to Samsung homesync logo after booting. I know it is required wipe but how if no recovery is installed into the original firmware? any thought?

Would be nice if a dev is interestet to help !

PS: Yes i know there is cm-11.0 with working cam but i like cm-10.2 more than cm-11.0 und i think a last build without major bugs is interesting for many people (if you are one of the people - write a post :))

Thx

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Lucke:
they just need to integrate individual contact/group notifications, then it will be perfect
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
sooo good thanks goog!!!!

the new sms/hangouts switch is PERFECCT~!!!!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] FuMMoD:
I've been wanting that voip for so long. Still hasn't been added, damn it Google.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] marcusva79:
Is anyone getting there SMS boxes green all white?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] raymond4:
When are they gonna add popup notification damn I hate having to go into the app to reply
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] marcusva79:
I know. Same way here bro. But lock screen notifications helps a lot.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] HenryDCase:
Works like a charm. Except one issue.

Only since installing the upgrade, every sms I send results in a toast saying "insert a Sim to send sms." I am on Sprint, correct APN settings, mms and sms are confirmed working, but still getting the toast.

Just annoying.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] marcusva79:
Maybe just uninstall hangouts and reinstall it. And fix permissions
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] FatBoy_Seconds:
I'm on Sprint also, but im not having that problem. Try reinstall
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] babalonius508:
Is anyone else having an issue with contact photos not showing up in the notifications?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hospitalbed:
Yup. Seems random for me. Sometimes they are there.. Sometimes they aren't.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] littleguevara:
same here but it seems to work again after a while, almost like the contacts needed to refresh or something.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hospitalbed:
Same thing happens in app for me as well in the main conversation list.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] babalonius508:
I was able to get them to show up in app by force closing the app and rebooting my phone.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] tauzins:
anyone else notice the notification noise was changed slightly?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] resynx:
Confirmed. Didn't like the new noise so I'm still using the old one XD
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] malibu_23:
mms: image cannot be loaded? just shows black image tmobile.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hospitalbed:
I've tried everything. Sometimes the notifications won't show an icon, but then the main convo list will, and vice versa. Frustrating as it seems at random. A small annoyance but I guess back to hello sms for me.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nightang3l:
For some reason I can't even open the app on mines. it just hangs on the hangout with the icon on the top left hand corner and black page, afterwards it will blank out to black screen. Any idea why its like that on mine? Running v.19 Droidkang rom.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DigitalUnderground:
I downloaded the apk... Moved it to /system/app with Root Explorer, changed permissions to rw, r, r... Then I deleted the preinstalled hangouts app. I renamed the new hangouts app to "Hangouts.apk" and rebooted. Once it booted, it was all ready to go.

I'm on slimkat
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nightang3l:
Thanks will try.

Not working. Did everything you said download apk, moved it to /system/app with RE, changed permissions to rw, r, r, deleted the old hangouts, rename the new one to Hangouts.apk and rebooted. Still the same white screen with Hangouts icon on left corner and then black screen.

Nevermind figure out the problem. Had xposed framework with force enter for hangout on. Disable it and is now working.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DigitalUnderground:
Possibly a bad download? I'd try again... Or maybe its somehow a ROM issue even tho I have no idea how it could be.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] poofish:
Do you have the Force Enter xposed module for Hangouts installed? Having that will cause it to crash like that. After uninstalling mine and rebooting, it worked fine.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nightang3l:
Yeah I did. Figure out reading the other forums. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] krolla03:
I keep having issues (even with the old one on multiple stock roms and Beanstalk) they only way i have gotten it to fix (and this more helps with the MMS issue) is to boot into recovery and clear the cache. It then works for awhile and then randomly MMS wont work again and have to do it all over.[

One thing that bugs me, maybe someone can help me out.

My best friend has an android, and uses hangouts. I have her SMS contact with a photo, but her g+ account has no picture. Now that their convo has merged, it syncs her g+ photo, which is the blue default photo, and not her Google contact photo I set up. How can I fix this? They seem to be linked in my Google contacts...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dmatik:
Try to change the picture of this contact in your Google contacts yourself. Hangouts and Google Talk were always displaying the Google pictures of contacts even if you link them with other accounts.

Sorry, I should've mentioned that I did that manually from a computer yesterday and still no dice.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
I think its a rollout update, so you (and I) have not gotten it yet...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
I thought 2.1 was the latest that just got wrong.

I took the APK from Android police and replaced the icon with the Moonshine theme. Running Elix-R, so updating causes you to lose the themed icon. Apparently there seems to be a version after the one on Androidpolice. o.oView attachment 2703891

Another thing I noticed about Hangouts is that my contacts, their photos don't appear in the pull down, but when I open the convo they show. O believe that's what the post above a few posts just might be talking about. Can anyone confirm?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] littleguevara:
It was updated again, I can't find a change log anywhere though and the build number is still 2.1 etc
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
That was my problem, but it doesn't show correctly in my hangouts convo *as well* as the pulldown... I dont understand why...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
It's weird because the person I'm texting photo didn't show up in the pull down, but only the convo, then it showed up in the pull down and convo, but my photo did not. Hangouts I love, but the smallest thing cause an OCD to happen. >~<
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jdawg0024:

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
I have no problem with syncing contact photos, I've manually synced it because I can't stand extra apps running in my connected profiles. Its just the contacts who did have pictures in SMS are not showing up in the merged hangouts because they don't use their Google+ profiles...

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DigitalUnderground:
Make sure your data is enabled

Exactly. People without G+ profiles their pics will not show up in the notification bar even though it shows in the conversation.

Same, just the toast is annoying lol, but thanks for the input.

Still have the contact photo issue, both in the dropdown as well as the actual conversation. Just because my friend doen't have a G+ Account doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to change their photos in the convo...

I have tried almost everything. Even took my phone to a data dr. Which they said my phone was cloned and my phone company said my number was being spoofed.

If you have been through 7 devices and multiple different companies, chances are that you are just paranoid. But... There is a small chance that an app that you have on your phone is Rouge...

Is it possible that you have a psycho boyfriend/husband that is installing tracking software on your phone?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] toyanucci:
I'm a little confused as to why so many people are waiting instead of updating to the available 4.4.2. People been clamoring for the update and it's finally available and everyone is asking if they should update or shouldn't?

The Knox issue I can understand, but I've rooted all my devices the day I get them from the HTC nexus one days. I didnt even boot into my Note 10.1 2014 stock, out the box I installed twrp and rooted. The benefits of root far outweigh potential issues and the guides are fool proof. Re warranty, I've seen no reports of Samsung turning anyone back because of Knox. Case in point so many of the refurbished ones sold recently were received with Knox tripped, it's not that big a deal, besides, especially for those in America, most stores offer 30 day returns no questions asked so it's neither here nor there.

The fact is, the update is available now, it makes the tablet so much more of a joy to use and has so many improvements that I just don't get this whole "should I wait? When will the OTA come to my country" thing. Anyhow, I guess to each his own, but the reality is some of you waiting potentially may not even live long enough for the update you're waiting on lol. Live in the now guys!

Also, so many are complaining about the exclusion of Magazine UX, though almost everyone on here says the first thing they do is install Nova or some other launcher, so why is it an issue for them? It's just odd...

Anyhow, rant done.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dustfinger314:
If you just want Papyrus notes backup, it looks like their cloud services premium feature will do it if you don't mind the $3 in app purchase. If you are looking for a more comprehensive option, there are several ways to backup your data. Through a little Googling, I found this guide to backing up using adb without root. Or you can go ahead and root before updating, and then use something like Titanium Backup to back up your data and then restore. This is just from a cursory look for options, look around, read into different things and see which approach fits your needs.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] poplectic:
KNOX doesn't bother me as regards losing warranty. It has stopped me from rooting for the first time ever for fear of resale consequences. I just know that if I sell it on eBay with knox tripped and I do disclose it in my description people will be asking for a lower price whereas if I don't mention it the buyer will be contacting me a week later moaning that I didn't tell him I'd tripped knox. A real potential headache that I can't be bothered with so samsung have finally succeeded in stopping me rooting my device one way or another.

If you pay for papyrus you can backup to Dropbox. Also, updating with Odin you won't lose any information. I didn't wipe before updating and I have no issues whatsoever.
