By parallel battery stacking i mean that 1 wire goes through all the batteries touching each batteries metal compartment, since Universal batteries have 4 of these compartements we going to have 4 wires touching each of those metal parts. All the 4 wires must run parallely without touching each other. And that is why we cover them with plastic.

Now if I am correct a series connection is where all batteries connect directly to the Universal, which will fry the universal due to excessive voltage input around 10-12Volts. When the batteries connect all in line then its a parallel and voltage input does not change. Its only the capacity that changes. But you must make sure a wire is running directly to the universal and all the other batteries are connected to that wire. Its like a branching except the main branch connects to the Universal and all the sub branches are the batteries.

I will post pictures when i get home of what i am looking for. It seems words arent enough. Pictures Pictures Pictures!! and Diagrams. I know you all want to see the blueprints. Thats why when i go home today i will make the blueprints in autocad or by hand and upload pictures here. I will also show you what series connections are and how you can fry the battery/Universal if a wrong connection is made.

I personally wont be attempting this project until i make a good cover for the battery. I will ask those 4800mAh battery sellers to give me a cover without the battery for $5-$20. Dont want the 4800mAh battery from those sellers $200 :mad: .

Actually now that i think about it i would like to stick with 1800mAh only because its so flat with the universal and not at all bulky. But i dont care about the bulk because i never use the phone to call. Like i never hold it to my ear. Always use a BT headset. This bulk battery is seriously going to be heavy.

Truly I would advice you all to stay with the 1600-1800mAh battery until a new battery is released of the same size with higher capacity.

Okay if you guys really want me to attempt this project I will. But I wont be using that huge stack. Also if someone could help me I would really appreciate it. Afterall I am trying to help you guys too. I dont want you guys spending so much money on something thats so cheap. You guys already spent a lot of money on the Universal and I suggest you dont get cheated by this battery thing. Thats why I didnt have any pictures. But i can atleast provide blueprints. I am doing all this for you guys and not personally for myself. I could have done this project at home and never let any of you know. But there are some days when I am struck and I come looking for help on the internet and i get that help. Thats why I would also be a part of that help and help other people with all I have to offer. So please dont get mad if i dont have pictures or my setup does not work. I am trying my best.

Parallel Battery Stacking

My first picture of how parallel stacking should look like. This is one of the blueprints i post. Make sure your wires are minimal. Very small wires otherwise the batteries wont fit in there. Even the cover must be able to support the wires. If you are making a twin compartment battery case, then better make holes in the partition for the passage of the wires. I will post a blueprint for that too, the cover that is. The key to success in this project is to minimize wires as much as possible.

Also good news! A recent technology has been invented that lets you charge your electronics on wireless!. Plug in the adapter into the wall and there you go. You have wireless charging. I saw this news somewhere I dont remember exactly but I know it was a valid news source.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Pyrojester:
As you make the wires thinner, they will get hotter/the resistance of them will go up, causing more power consumption

Charging your electronics on wireless? >.>

As has been asked before for your claims, links, sources... come on man, we can't take your word for everything.

Another alternative ... although not as much fun as making one

I had the same problem of not having enough battery capacity, especially since the original battery starting going bad (it would shut down at about 50% charge, lasting only 30-60 minutes). So I had the choice of getting the original battery for about $25 with shipping or getting the 3150mAh Li-ion Battery for $35 with shipping. I got the 3150mAh about a month ago and have been very pleased with it. It easily lasts 4 hours under full load and I could go a whole working day under normal use ... amazing !!! Also, it actually feels better holding onto the device, since it's easier to grab onto with the indents on either end of the cover. It's wonderful, not having to worry about carrying around my charger everywhere. I ended up getting it from www.Gizmos2Go.com (http://www.gizmos2go.com/xcart/search.php?mode=search). They were out of stock when I ordered it, but were very nice about keeping me up to date on the progress. Although, it's available elsewhere, so shop for the best price ... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Li-Ion+battery+High+Capacity+3150+jasjar.

Another alternative I use is to use a mini-USB "batter extender" that works with 4AA batteries. It's worked well with the Universal with Li-Ion batteries. Here's a link to one of these types of chargers ... http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~u...ries-power+accessories~item~USB-BATADPT01.htm.

I know these aren't nearly as much fun as making one yourself, but they both have worked well for me. Anyways, I hope this helps someone make a decision.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] nuclear:
Hey thanks ollie, this helps a lot. I really like external power, 4AA batteries are nice. I can use my AA 2700mAh battery and 4 of them will make the Universal last a long time. I really like my 1800mAh battery and with this external power idea i can use my universal for a long time. I use my universal in my car, office and work. I am mostly using my headset so make/answer calls. So I could stick to the 1800mAh and put my universal in a leather case and belt clip and carry it around. While i want to play games or chat on msn i can hook up the external AA batteries and the batteries will be in my pocket while i am using the universal.

Yes thats the one and last thing i want to know. If the cable is long enough to hide the AA external batteries... atleast 60-100cm

Nuclear,

Your project really intrigued me. Do you have any pictures of your work in progress or finished product? Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] RichardKAthena:
I have a Sino battery from eBay, insanely cheap (something like £16 shipped) with the bulgy cover. Works brilliantly.

I'm amazed by some of the claims of poor battery life. I make very little use of my device, but I also seem to get 4 days+ of standby/occasional use with this battery installed! As in, take it on holiday, show it to people, make a couple of calls, play a couple of games, bit of WiFi in the pub - that sort of thing - and it had 39% charge after four days.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milothicus:
I have my old X10a that i haven't used since some time in 2012, and my wife is needing to use it after her phone was stolen.

It has xRecovery 0.3 installed, and I had installed a rom on it, but i'm not sure which one (android 2.3.3, build 3.0.1.G.0.75).

It currently has very little storage available, even with only the absolutely minimal apps installed. in the process of trying to make space, i ran 1-click cleaner to clear space, and it identified a couple of files called system.img and data.img that add up to over 600MB.

i seem to remember when installing a rom on one of my phones that rather than overwriting the existing OS, it installed it into a separate image file, and ran from the image file, leaving the stock OS installed, but unused.

Am i crazy? is this how a rom would have been installed without an unlocked bootloader?

if so, can i go back to the stock OS and get that file space back? if 1-click cleaner is finding these files, does that mean that it's not currently running from these, and i can delete them?

Any help is appreciated...

I just installed Cyanogen 11 on my Galaxy S3 and was horrified to find out that I can no longer move apps to my external SD card. On the stock unrooted ROM, I was constantly running at 1Gb or less free space on the internal storage, even after moving all the apps to SD that I could.

Is there a 4.4 ROM that has the Move to SD feature enabled? If not, can anyone point me to information on how it can be done on CM11?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mp3deviant721:
I checked on my current ROM, Carbon, and there is an option to move to SD. Its greyed out for some apps but the option is definitely there.

GS³: Carbonized, leanKernel'd, Philz'd

Put your Kitsune up!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daggorlad:
Or you could simply download an app that allows you to move to SD i.e. app2sd from the Play Store.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badrsj:
My stock unmolested note 3 with extended battery seems to have overheated and died. Upon recharging the screen does not show even a flicker while the boot sounds play. The device presumably boots but one can't say. The capacitive buttons are permanently on and non responsive. Battery pulled booted to recovery same black screen no buttons lit.

So reboot holding the power button, pull battery and turn it off. Is this a hardware melt down, is this a paper weight?

There is no insurance no coverage. What should I do next. What would be outta pocket repair charges?

Thanks for reading this far.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Well since it seems to be a phone issue not caused by you, they, AT&T or Samsung will have to exchange it. You don't need insurance.

Have you tried booting to recovery or download mode?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badrsj:
I'm not the original purchaser so no luck with Samsung. Yup booted into recovery blind folded, still no screen. What about download mode and just Odin the device, should fix software screwups.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
If you are not getting anything even in recovery ... It's a hardware issue.

I've been a second hand owner of many phones that I have had replaced through AT&T.

Check the LCD for hairline cracks. Dimly lit room, shine a bright light on the screen and look at it at different angles.

If it overheated, it's possible the LCD is indeed cracked...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badrsj:
Thank you for your answers to figure out what to do. where I could look at the cost of replacing the LCD only thank you. The device is really not been used on AT&T for a while because I am on the G 3 I do not know if they'll cover it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
I don't advise replacing just the LCD. most people won't do it. You will have better luck with replacement of the entire assembly.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badrsj:
I've looked at the cost, I would rather wipe the phone clean and eBay it for parts, just need to figure out how to wipe it without using a power drill :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
I can help with that. You will be flying blind, but it will work. Give me a few to write up a tutorial.

Follow the OP of this thread first.

After it finishes wait a bout 10 minutes for the first boot to finish.

Then proceed to this after

1: Remove your battery for 5 seconds. We want to make sure the device is completely off.

2: replace the battery

3: Hold home+volume up+power. You will feel a vibration. Hold them for 2 more seconds and release all 3.no more or less time.

Wait for 5 seconds.

4: press the volume down button 3 times.

5: press the power button.

6. Press the volume down button 7 times. Be slow and deliberate being careful to count each press. If you think you screwed up, start over.

7: press the power button. Your device will factory reset at this time.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob2112:
Hi, i successfully rooted my Galaxy tab s 8.4 with the root method discussed on the development

section. I am using a stock rom. the tablet runs fine with the OS. I decided to try a custom rom.

I have tried everything to get into bootloader, the power button with the volume keys gets me to

the "downloading target the android guy logo. I do not get the screen that gives me the options

to select recovery, bootloader or reboot screen. I have all the drivers installed. fast boot fails.

I dont know what else to. I have tried loading thru TWRPa rom and i get a sig verification.

i have heard what an ADB sodeload but not sure if that will help. Any recommendations would

be appreciated.

thanks!

adb reboot bootloader
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ehcorn:
I have the same problem, I'm trying to simply get fastboot access to install CWM instead of TWRP. bootloader command in adb does absolutely nothing, just reboots into the OS. Also, running quickboot with root permission does the same thing. The bootloader just seems to be gone, but the tablet works flawlessly.

[Off-topic] jcnbama:
Here in the good ole US of A Congress has passed a new law implementing a regulation that will require cell phone manufacturers to ship phones with a kill switch. Articles like this pursue... http://www.offthegridnews.com/2014/...-police-to-shut-off-all-cell-phones-remotely/

I wonder if the devs here at XDA will develop ways to hack the kill switch so that if a citizen doesn't want our phones at the control of law enforcement or the government whims then we can kill the kill switch. Hope so. I understand the general idea of it. But it does lend itself to the possibility of corruption and conspiracies. Maybe I don't want a kill switch...
[Off-topic] Archer:
Firstly, it's a state law so it's not applicable anywhere else in the US. Yes, that could change in the future but it could also be repealed so let's stick to the current facts.

Secondly, the bill itself states this...

This means that you can simply click "I don't want that" and it won't be enabled.

Informed choice is informed choice. The number of people who decide against having it enabled on their phone will definitely outweigh the number of people that would come here looking for a technical solution. Also, there would be no "fix" on here since all they'd have to do is hard reset their phone and go through the setup again.
[Off-topic] jcnbama:
This is true... For now. Things in the U.S. Are getting increasingly more over controlled by the government. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point it wasn't optional and it is just pushed as "being for our own good" the government thinks that we can't make decisions for ourselves. Just wondered if anyone else thought of that. If enough people opt out either:

A. The government will do away with the requirements

B. The government will decide that people obviously aren't informed enough to make decisions by themselves so they will make it mandatory.

Time will tell...

Perhaps the US should focus their time and money on putting this killswitch in their military hardware, first.... (If you don't know why, the Russians in east Ukraine have recently managed to acquire 3 battalions worth of heavy duty US-army hardware by means of occupation... Wouldn't it have been nice to have had that killswitch there..)

I'm fully against the government meddling in human stupidity. If people are dumb enough to leave their bags open, leave their phones on tables and leave them half-sticking out of their pockets, that is their own fault and they should deal with the consequences of their negligence by themselves. As opposed to bothering the rest of us with their stupidity.

Hi all. I'm curious about how the two projects compare, especially after the reported problems with the latest updates on the 11S

I've used CM on most of my devices and I love the simple, no nonsense approach. How does the M9 release fare on the bacon? Battery life? smoothness? functions? What is in the 11S that is removed?

I might try it myself if I get limited response.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Removed:

- CM11S Lock Screen

- AudioFX

CM11 has newer CM commits that you'll see in the next CM11S OTA including bug fixes, additional features, etc.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzhedaj:
But that's valid if you compare nightlies to 11S. Milestone release also has battery drain bugs.

And if you want the 11S features mentioned above in your M9 or nightly, just get the apks and put them into system/app. The experience becomes exactly the same on both (except bug fixes).

Having far better battery life on the CM nightlies (specifically 09/04) at the moment, hopefully whatever changes they did will be merged with 11S. I only had 2% drain overnight and it wasn't in airplane mode.

[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Pretty sure you're talking about the list of "Z" apps that are found on development handsets. Your phone is not a retail model, instead it was built for OS and firmware testing. It is like a retail one in most ways - that is to say, it can probably be used as a phone - aside from the following:

1) Whoever sold it to you probably stole it (or got it from somebody who did) since they aren't supposed to be sold in stores.

2) It probably doesn't *quite* run a released version of the OS, so it may have bugs that were fixed later.

3) It may not be possible to update it using the retail update channels.

On the more exciting side, though:

1) It should support USB Mass Storage mode in the bootloader. This means you can access it exactly like a flashdrive (but hold on...)

2) It should have an unlocked boot loader (no Secure Boot) so the OS can be modified.

3) It'll have a bunch of internally-developed apps meant for testing, many of which will have unusual privileges.

4) The phones should support kernel (and other high-privilege) debugging.

Such handsets are rarely seen (since they aren't ever officially sold) and are pretty useful to hacker-types looking to find ways to unlock the phone so we can have more access into it. These days we have a fairly good grasp of the stuff that such phones might teach us about retail models, though there may still be people interested in buying that one off of you.
