[Samsung Gear VR] humzat:
another simple option is to keep a couple of spare batteries on hand charged up and swap when needed.
[Samsung Gear VR] lyrad12:
this one! I dont mind swapping batteries, pop in the spare then boom back to 100percent, and dont forget to charge the other battery
[Samsung Gear VR] JippleStar:
Apparently people use their note 4 without a back cover when using the Gear VR (for the heat issue?) o3o guess doing the battery swap thing would be super easy for those people :3 Gives the phone a chance to cool off a bit as well during the down time :D Maybe someone can spend an entire day with the Gear VR on using this method and 5 or more batteries :D
[Samsung Gear VR] lyrad12:
you said it! I had a very long weekend with this XD
[Samsung Gear VR] Deblow:
lol,, problem solved, they should last you the whole week :highfive:
[Samsung Gear VR] JippleStar:
How much did that all cost? I want :crying:
[Samsung Gear VR] lyrad12:
almost 68 dollars, I used my 50% OFF coupon from samsung
[Samsung Gear VR] JippleStar:
Not bad for the convenience (sort of) :good:
[Samsung Gear VR] cdmoore74:
I don't understand why it's hard for people to do this. I bought the battery kit before I got the Gear VR and I always swap the battery each morning. I even had the spare battery kit for the Note 2 and 3 and have gotten use to battery swapping. Even when using Gear VR I just swap my battery when I take my phone out the case. Even if I run down the battery in Gear VR mode the other battery will be fully charged. With the official battery kit this is not an issue.

You sir are ready for a week long power outage. That's 5 total batteries! 2 batteries have been enough for me but one more would not hurt.

I love removable batteries and the fact that the Note 4 boots so quick. I don't understand the joy in being tied to a charger.
[Samsung Gear VR] lyrad12:
I left all of them fully charged and place them in my 3 different important places, one is in my office, in my car, and one inside my gear vr case, and lastly, in my pocket with me everyday..

I really hate being tied to a charger (wall hugger) while using the phone, that's what kills my iphones battery long time ago.
[Samsung Gear VR] feltrockni:
Just get a zerolemon 10000 mah battery off amazon for 69 bucks. It fits perfectly under the vr's shield and will last hours upon hours. The case for the battery is bulky, but it works fine without* the backing on your phone.
[Samsung Gear VR] pyr0path:
$59.99 today! Just ordered one!
[Samsung Gear VR] feltrockni:
Nice. Hope you enjoy it. If you trickle charge it (via a low powered 1v charger) the battery will last a full day at least of vr. 3 days of average phone use.
[Samsung Gear VR] Deblow:
I decided to get another standard size battery as backup on the move, can anyone recommend one, or is it best to stick with the Samsung branded only?

if i go with the Samsung Im thinking to get the charging kit with spare battery, costs around £30
[Samsung Gear VR] famadorian:
What phone are you talking about that fits inside gear vr with a zerolemon battery?

They all fit?
[LG G Flex] Mathef:
Hello,

thanks in advance for any help. I have LG G Flex with software version D95510B-EUR-XX and Android version is still on 4.2.2. which is quite obsolote and doesn't work with Android Wear. I tried that trick with Google Services Framework but without luck. Phone still does not want to update to 4.4.2 Kitkat. Update Center keep saying "You are using the latest software version for current OS".
[LG G Flex] Murshad007:
Use LG PC Suite
[LG G Flex] Mathef:
Unfortunately LG PC Suite still says: "Latest version is already installed. Latest version: D95510B". LG Mobile Support Tool can't see update also. It still says: "Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool."

I get mail from LG support and they wrote it is possible that the phone is not for Czech market (this is where I am from, we are in EU). Could this be the problem? On the box is EUA and software is D95510B-EUR-XX, which is for the european market, am I right? I am really confused here :)
[LG G Flex] Mathef:
Is there any unofficial way to install the upgrade please? I am still stuck at JellyBean.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] m.kaya:
Hey People of Xda Communication:p

There are some few question i want to get answers on.

Since i own a Galaxy Mega 6.3 ( GT-i9205 ) i've tried several MHL adapters ( and all of them were fake ) and just to let you guys know all of them were MHL 1.0

So here's my question, if i get a original adapter ( Samsung MHL 2.0 Adapter ) wich i dont have to use power supply if im above 75% of battery ( thats what i've readed from sources, dont know if its true ), and if i attach it to my phone.

What is the power output to the phone, and what is the max power input to the adapter it self when im attaching a original Samsung Travel Charger 5v 2.0A to it ?

And otherwise i want to get one of this Smart Dock Multimedia Hub some of the sources on the Net says that it wont work, but i've seen alot of different Samsung phones being tried on this dock/hub so why not giving it a try.

But my question is the same with this dock/hub as the MHL 2.0

What is the max supported Power input and output for it when im attaching a original Samsung Travel Charger 5v 2.0A to it ?

for example i have this one [IMG="My MHL"]http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachments/sony-xperia-tablet-z-forum/210314d1370423788-bildschirm-spiegeln-vs-pushen-mhl.jpg[/IMG]

this one has a usb for power supply wich supply to 5v 0.1A ( thats what the package says ) and that drains the battery of my phone(while it shows me its charging which is not).

I want to be able to use MHL while charging my phone with my original Samsung Travel charger wich provides 5v 2.0A power output so i can continue without having my battery drained.

So yeah the question is easy, What is the max input and output of the Samsung MHL 2.0 Adapter & Samsung Smart Dock Multimedia Hub with Original Samsung Travel Charger 5v 2.0A attached.

(Sorry for my English:p)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
My nexus 5 was stock when i did a factory reset and something wrong happened and it was stuck on the android guy with the blue sphere thing.

So i decided to try and flash the factory image from Google but it gets stuck at erasing the cache. I have done it both by flash all and by doing each step independently. And its always stuck on clear cache

I then tried the cwm recovery and wiped the cache and tried installing CM11. CM11 was stuck in a bootloop

then i tried TWRP recovery but the phone would not load into it.

Then i tried the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock and unroot and the phone still gets stuck on erasing cache

Any ideas? What should I try next?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Flash stock recovery and wipe cache and leave it doing that for as long as it takes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
How long is reasonable?

I have waited 45 min in the past before losing patience
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Could actually be a bit longer than that. Also, fastboot flash cache.img.on its own.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
Thank You I will leave it running for a while and see what happens
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
It has been a little over an hour. How much longer should I wait?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Hard to say. Each time you interrupt it, you make it worse. Give it another hour. If that doesn't work, maybe try lg flash tool.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
My mistake I might have interrupted it more then a few times yesterday. I probably made it fairly bad.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
It has been erasing cache for about 12hrs should I give up on the idea it will do it and try the lg flash tool.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its probably the only option,
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
I get userdata erase fail when I run lg flash tool then it says We cant communicate.

Any other ideas
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you use fastboot to lock the bootloader then reboot the bootloader, is it unlocked again? Please test
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
The bootloader is locked
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
should rule out nand failure then. All I can suggest is send it to LG, if you've already tried swapping USB cables and ports.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
Thanks ill try different ones then give up haha
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Have you tried just formatting cache with fastboot? Tried multiple recoveries and wiping cache through them? If none of this works I'd bet your nand has a bad sector.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRyder39:
It can format erase and flash the cache no problem in fastboot it just wont do it at the end of the process of flashing a custom rom
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleOp:
I am having the same problem trying to flash to 5.0 or 5.0.1. It's to the point where Google says, "well, it's out of warranty, so send it to LG" and LG says, "send it to us and we'll tell you whether we'll charge you for a fix".

Pointer to the aforementioned "lg flash tool" - presumably different from the Google f/w at //developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - would be welcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chris_525:
I'm not too sure what is happening here, but my phone has been acting all month. Sometimes it randomly shuts off on it own, afterwards i would just restart the phone, and it would work fine. Today it did the same thing, but now my phone won't reboot. it'll power up for about 2 seconds, and immediately shut off. For the most of the part Im thinking it might be a software issue, not my battery. Im running a Phoenix Rom from another galaxy s4 carrier with a patch to work with Verizon models. At this point I can't doing anything with my phone (enter recovery or download mode). Any help would be greatly appreciated..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tkacer:
Chris -

The only time my S4 did that was when the battery was totally depleted. I suggest plugging it in and charging for a couple of hours and then reboot. If that still doesn't work - it might be time to replace it. good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I have read several posts where people were having similar issues and it ended up being a bad power switch.

Hi everyone,

After suffering a failure with portal 2(snif), I decided to try another game.

I successfully launch Counter Strike : Source on the Shield Tablet.

This is a proof of concept so there is a lots of bugs, thank you for your comprehension.

Not that i don't believe you but a video showing the tablet running it will give a bit more idea.

I think the same thing so that why i'm working on it :)
[Shield Tablet General] berryman13:
Mate, can you share your process for porting source games??

I know it must involve the current HL2 or something. I want Garry's Mod!!!

I'm working on a kernel for our device and dont ave the time to research the porting but can you PM me how exactly you do it? Cheers, I won't ever release anything!
[Shield Tablet General] matyas69:
For now it is not working properly, I'm not going to share something not functional, the garry's mod is planned, don't worry.

Wow, very impressive. Now i'm very glad ive sold my ps vita and bought me a nvidia shield tablet. What was wrong with Portal 2 and do you want to continue the work on that? The game i want next is garrys mod, that would be very awesome. Yes, we have Tibers Box 2 but i want the real stuff. :)
[Shield Tablet General] matyas69:
Some news ;)
[Shield Tablet General] berryman13:
I am a developer myself, I am writing this now as I build a shield tablet kernel....will be releasing that too, but I was just asking how you did it, what the process was, so I could try myself (as a developer) -- it's not that I want an unfinished product and really want you to port&release gmod, I am interested in how you programmed it.

Either way, cheers. Look forward to seeing your thread once development kicks off....it feels super lonely being a shield tab developer because there's like 3 others who all maintain stuff for other devices :P

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

Awesome. Looks like you've streamlined the port and installation, what kind of bugs are you tackling?

Come to think of it, us who are actually building stuff and getting the latest nvidia source and seeing what we can do with it....we should really have a chat or something. Do you have a skype or something maybe we can make a group for the 5 of us?
[Shield Tablet General] Selim873:
Wow this is awesome!!! :D Does this work with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Also, I know these ports run on different architectures, but do you think the Shield port could play online against PC users?
[Shield Tablet General] Doldol:
Maybe with the unofficial hacked versions of the game on PC. To play with the mainstream game, you need Steam integration

(SteamID, Steamworks, etc....), which is impossible since there is 0 Steam support for Android (Steam app doesn't include support for games).

But LAN should be possible in the long run.
[Shield Tablet General] matyas69:
You're totally right, without steam no online but LAN can work.

Mouse and keyboad unfortunetly not work. I need to decompile and rewrite some lib.

okay dude, my Skype Mullin6929.

This looks sick! I love CSS and that would be sick to have it on my tablet!!!!
[Shield Tablet General] AgentAgrimar:
I'm sorta suprised people don't know how to do this, well the first part anyway...

But, as you know the Source Engine is already there so technically any valve/mod game on Steam is possible to run as long as you have the right .lib files, so really it's just a simple drag and drop with a few permission changes, with knowing that, he pretty much took css's folder and put it in hl2's data folder, not sure how he's gonna get the .lib files as in most cases he'll probably need css's source code to do so... But other than that any game could work. :fingers-crossed:
[Shield Tablet General] joshtb86:
any updates on your progress? are you looking for testers? any idea when we might be able to get this?

thanks!!

Any updates? I got the css files working with portal but when I start a new server it will crash. How do you load the maps? I tried to bind the A button to load de_dust2, but obviously it won't work at the main menu.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] strongp:
I've been having problems with copilot - it fails to acquire any satellites until I soft reset; then it works fine. A couple of days later I try using copilot again and the same thing happens. Anybody got any suggestions (other than use TomTom which I found was much more useable on my last XDA)?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] amino:
are you updating the quick gps software every 3 days ? that may help but doesnt sound good enough
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] strongp:
no - i'll give this a try, but it shouldn't stop it acquiring a fix even if it does take longer - I've waited for at least 10 minutes which is how long stone age GPSs used to take...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ~J~:
I definately think it's Co-Pilot verifiying the NMEA data that gets sent down. It's good because it ensures you don't get eratic positions (or most of the time anyway), but bad because as you've found out it takes a while longer to aply a fix. Can't really recommend anything other than to ensure QuickGPS is upto date.

Put it this way, the GPS program we wrote at work I've tried on my Orbit and I can get a signal lock in about 4 seconds with a pretty damn close position of where I am, so it's definately not the hardware (unless it's your particular phone).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirBindy:
Anyone know if they can be ported over to us?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotnikman:
Unfortunately not
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLoonyRebel:
I'd imagine that unless if we can figure out a way to get this leaked build to work with the NC2/NC4 bootloader/kernel and SafeStrap and what not that it won't work for us as of now. I don't think it's impossible but I'm not 100% sure it could be done...

Edit: What we need at this point is a pure stock flashable version of this leak. Then we can go from there.

Edit 2: Okay I'm silly here. I found a list of ROMs that are out for the SM-9005 so I wonder how hard it would be to port one of them with some of the fixes like WiFi over to our Verizon Note 3?

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/lollipop-android-5-rom-list-updated-t2984365

So I'm thinking here's the challenges we'd have:

1 - Making this work with our NC2/NC4 bootloader and kernel. Now I dunno if that can be done but I've seen stranger things happen.

2 - Keeping KNOX set to 0x0. It looks like at least one ROM has that covered (forgot which one).

3 - Getting this to work with our SafeStrap 3.75. I'd imagine if we can get it to work with our kernel/bootloader then we'd have no issues here but who knows.

4 - We might need to do a few file replacements and edits to get data and what not to work. I remember when I helped port SkyNote 4.3 from AT&T to Verizon on the Note 2 (which was based off a leak for the AT&T Note 2 for 4.3 JellyBean) there was a few file swaps I had to do from the Verizon 4.2 base to get data to work (along with build.prop edits).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alsgarage:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLoonyRebel:
Okay I used the deodex ROM found here.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-t2983506

I replaced the kernel in this with the one from EclipseROM 2.1.1. It'll install and will get past the Samsung logo and that's it. I get a blank screen for several minutes then reboots to Samsung recovery. Thankfully I can still restore back to EclipseROM so nothing really lost on my end except for a slight amount of time in trying. I'm assuming the issue lies in with us not having a proper 5.0 bootloader. There has to be a way to make this work on our NC2/NC4 bootloader.

(And I'm asking out of kindness let's keep the "can't wait for this" and "hope this works" comments off of the thread so we can discuss how to get this working - thanks I'm not trying to be mean but I'd like to keep this thread clean and for discussing how to get this working)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
I am wondering if you need a modified kernel for it to work. I am not entirely sure it's a bootloader issue(not saying its not). That being said on my DE I can run 4.4 roms on a 4.3 bootloader with a modified kernel that hashcode made.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLoonyRebel:
That is true. Sadly unless if we can modify the kernel (or get Kexec working) we are stuck waiting for Lollipop to either leak or officially hit our Note 3. And given that the recent 4.4.4 update changed the bootloader (and killed our current root exploit) the signs aren't good for us on Lollipop at this point.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
the leak is for the octa core enxyos version so completely different soc verizon, att, sprint and tmobile all use qualcomm 800 quad core soc.

So if your on an international version likely you can use some version of the leak. For us stuck with the US version we have to wait till a carrier specific one leaks.

Assuming you used safestrap since thats the only option, if its in a rom slot(not the stock slot) thats your issue, if you noticed massive battery drain that is also why, rom slots are broken.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thecapitalr:
Hey guys. Need some advice. Got a new galaxy gear 1st edition for Xmas. I have not opened it and am debating returning it. Is this thing worth using at this point or is it already outdated ? I presently have a galaxy s3 which is running a cm kit kat variant. I really would rather not switch to touch wiz to use this device. I'm very familiar with flashing roms so if there is a good rom to flash that makes this device great please let me know.

Is this still a decent device? I have never used a smart watch before so it intrigues me.. However I will most likely be upgrading my phone in February or so. Not sure if I will even be getting another samsung. I honestly do not even have the faintest recollection what I would use a smart watch for. If it is just for notifications, I would rather not use the device. I hardly even use notifications on my phone (only ones enabled are text messages).

Tl;dr: got gear for Xmas. Don't have touch wiz. Should I return this?
