I read a lot of people had problems with the Anker batteries swelling up and only lasting a few months before the battery life fell on its face.

You can go to samsung's website and buy the batteries right from them.

We were going to do that with our note 2's...but an OTA update killed my wife's phone so we decided to upgrade both phones. :p

Unfortunately, this link is no longer valid. There are so many knock offs out there that I'm worried about buying from anyone other than Samsung. Not sure if they're genuine but there's the dock and battery combo on Amazon and Rakuten for slightly less.

Thanks for the info. How's the charge time, SOT and idle time? Is it comparable to the original battery? My original SDI (Samsung Korea manufactured) is still running strong after 3 years with 7 to 8 hrs SOT but I want to have a spare considering it's harder to find the older it gets.

Anyone going this route should take advantage of the 10% off or $5 off promos.

https://www.batteriesplus.com/promotions
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lennykravitz2004:
IMO...

...charge time is pretty good, "seems" a bit better than what I recall for the OEM Samsung battery.

...SOT is OK for what I use the phone for everyday, which is just as a phone/texting, some internet surfing, light video watching (kodi, slingtv, mlb.tv).

... idle time is pretty good. Some nights I go to bed at 100% and wake up 6-7 hours later and it's at 93%. My issue is the location of my router, so the wifi drops sometimes and toggles back and forth b/w wifi and 3/4G data while sleeping. Those mornings it's down into the 85% range.

As always, YMMV based on your config. I'm on Chaz's NE2 Classic Stock, with small mods for sd card r/w cache, adaway, TiB scheduled, etc.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chappy_:
Hey there,

My phone froze so I went to restart it and it started backup but got as far and the start up animation and would go any farther. I tried wiping cache first, that didn't work, then I tried to wipe/factory reset, thinking that would work but it didn't, So then I tried to flash it back to stock. When I flashed it to stock for the newest kitikat OS 5.1.0 it just stayed in boot loop, so then I tried to go to an older version like 4.4.4 and it works, at least I thought it did. I used method 2 from http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701 and everything went fine but when I went back into recovery mode it showed me this msg :

E:can t mount/cache/recovery/command

E:can t mount/cache/recovery/log

E:can t open /cache/recovery/command

E:can t mount/cache/recovery/last_log

E:can t open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:can t mount/cache/recovery/last_install

E:can t open /cache/recovery/last_install

still allowed me to factory reset and then reboot system, but when I start up error messages come up for camera, hangouts, playstore etc. saying they wont respond. Also I think doing all this it has fried my SIM card because I have no service and cannot find service providers in search. It asks me if I want to update to newest OS but I wont because I know I'll just end up back in bootloop.

So I'm asking anyone out there have you ever had this issue and if so please help me fix it!!!!!!!

Thank you,

Chappy!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pinkie00200:
I have a question, I have rooted N900T, and upgraded to Lollipop FOB6 by using Odin CF method.

before using Odin, I backed up my KK rom.

my question is, since the bootloader is updated on the 5.0 version, if I want to downgrade to my previous kitkat rom, can I flash my previous backed up rom through twrp recovery? or the process will break the phone?

what if I do a complete wipe and flash 4.4.4 through Odin? I've heard since they're different bootloader, I can not downgrade.

plz help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] srod562:
I downgraded down to 4.4.2 NK3 Kitkat last night from 5.0 lollipop using Odin on the PC. It worked perfectly fine with no issues. Not sure if you can restore your Kitkat backup though. I would suggest doing a clean install with the 4.4.2 NK3 tar file found here on XDA.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fastjohnson:
Sure do your backup via twrp or your choice of recovery, save your kk rom to it in a backup. Then do the same in your LP rom. I do this with all 3 OS roms B6 kk rom, Alliance 5.0 rom and resurrection remix 6.0.1 rom it just takes a few min to do in liu of the restore time it takes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cef1000:
I originally posted this under General, which is probably the wrong place to post this question; re-posting here:

I have a pristine looking insurance replaced Note II that I'd like to Root and Rom with a stable Rom that retains T-Mobil's WiFi Calling feature.

Also, I'm getting the unlock code for the device sent to me by T-Mobile; which I'd like to do as well. I do have a T-Mobile SIM for it and can get at an AT&T SIM to unlock it if necessary.

As far as Root/Rom goes; I'm fairly certain this limits me to Android 4.3 and below; since T-Mo hung Note II users out to dry for a factory 4.4.x update; and I need the WiFi calling feature to work properly.

This specific device showed up with the following on it and is currently locked.

Firmware: 4.1.2

Baseband: T889UVBMD1

Kernel 3.0.31-935627

Build No: JZ05K.T889UVBMD1 (probably redundant info)

I have 2 Questions to start:

1. Should I unlock this before or after flashing root/ROM?

2. What Root/Rom(s) is (are) stable and let's the T-Mobile WiFi calling feature working properly. (I've seen Info on Jedi Rom, not sure which of them would be best or if there are others that keep WiFi Calling)

Some advice on this would be sincerely appreciated; since I have no experience with unlocking and/or root/ROMs; though I've been reading and really can't find info on my first question.

TIA to anyone that can point me in the right direction.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] SEscobedo:
So I dabble with GoPros and if you have dealt with pairing the GoPro 4 to a smart phone, it's that it eats the battery like crazy and doesn't output all resolutions to the smart phone. I was wondering if it was possible to use the micro HDMI port on the GoPro and send the video to the Note 4 using an MHL cord and/or adapter.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
I know nothing about Go Pros, and I can't give you a definitive answer without trying this setup myself (which I can't do).

I'm assuming that you're trying to use the phone as a display for the camera? So the hdmi cable would be sending video feed from the camera to the phone?

If this assumption is correct, then it shouldn't work. The Note 4 can only output hdmi signal. The phone can't input signal.

If my assumption wasn't right, then ignore me. If I'm wrong about any of this, then someone kindly correct me.

WARNING: INSTALL GOOGLE´S ANDROID SYSTEM WEBVIEW FROM THE PLAYSTORE / GAPPS FIRST

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview

Do you wan´t to use google´s updatable webview on a cm rom?

well too bad, even if you install and disable the built in webview, the system still dosen´t uses it, so what can we do?

modify a config in the framework called

"config_webViewPackageName" from com.android.webview to com.google.android.webview

you can do this via xposed with http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.typeblog.webview

however xposed for 5.1 is glitchy and will break a lot of optimizations if you are running a based cm run that has those.

so the solution? well flash the zip below, its a modified framework from cm12-13/04/2015 (DD/MM/YY btw)

May I ask how you did it? I decompiled framework-res.apk in Chroma ROM and then I navigated to "\framework-res\res\values" but I didn't find a config.xml file. Isn't this where the modification is done? Am I doing something wrong? [MENTION=5303660]opssemnik[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] opssemnik:
its /res/values/strings.xml
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fr3quency:
I found it after decompiling your framework-res.apk and searching from Windows Explorer.

I went into strings.xml and replaced "com.android.webview" with "come.google.android.webview". Then I recompiled and pushed the new framework-res.apk to /system/frameworks(I had some translation errors but it was first time seeing who things). Anyway, the system doesn't boot at all and shows only the bootanimation for 15+ minutes. Could you help me?

I downoaded this folder: http://www.droidviews.com/tutorial-how-to-decompile-and-recomplie-apk-files/ and replaced the apktool inside of it with this one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59436776&postcount=2812

I installed the framework via "apktool if framework-res.apk" just in case.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] opssemnik:
after you recompile it, you must put the META-INF folder from the original apk into your new APK,then push it to system/framework and set its permissions to 644 (rw-r-r)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fr3quency:
It still doesn't boot and stays at bootanimation. I decompiled and recompiled the .apk again and using WinRar i copied the META-INF folder from the original .apk to the new one. Then I rebooted into recovery and typed these commands:

adb shell
cd system/framework
rm framework-res.apk
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework (This is the recompiled apk with the META-INF folder)
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot

Edit: I didn't install Google WebView this time.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] opssemnik:
install it from the playstore before doing this, also are you lastest snapshot apktool ? (its newer than rc4)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fr3quency:
The apktool I used is newer... I think; it was posted at a later date, thus newer. Could you upload your folder with your apktool that you used if you have enough bandwidth?

Edit: I installed it from the Play Store and pushed the .apk. Is there a way to see if it used Google or AOSP webview?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] opssemnik:
Will do once i get home

See the user agent or read the config , altought the latter probably will nerd system permissions.

Or you could delete system webview and see if webkit based apps still work
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] prabhu_91:
Since framework is updated regularly in cm nightlies, so is there any way to do this on the fly using latest framework files.

Thnx :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] opssemnik:
did you get it after all? if not i upload my apktool folder
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] opssemnik:
would require a custom build of cm with it, or a custom apk of the webview or a xposed module(see OP) or apktool / some kind of apk modifying program to be native compiled for android(so it could be ran as an addon.d script on recovery). you could always keep flashing older framework-res, generally cm dosen´t do much to it, but once it does, the mod will need to be updated.

What is your suggestion?

Thanks :)

wait until surface pro 4

Hi

i own both surface pro 2 and pro 3, but right now i'm typing on my pro 2. it would be better to wait until new version releases so all the prices will drop down significantly.

and base on my experience with surface pro 3, it is not such an impressive device as you think, mine is i5, 128 gb version. surface pro 3 i5 is the best one among pro 3 versions, but it gets hot and i hate the fan noise too. i love my surface pro 2. it is a little bulky but it s dead silent and never gets hot.

and about battery life, i never got more than 6 hours light using from pro 3 and i dont know how people achieve 8-9 hours from their devices. its battery life is as good as pro 2. and pro 3 camera is the worst camera ever, never bother scanning documents.

anyway wait a little more and see for yourself, i think surface pro 4 will be awesome in any aspects. battery life, heat and fan noise and camera will be fixed in new version. ( i hope)

The Sketchbook Pro was dropped like a year ago. It's replaced by the free Play Store version.

The main differences are a brand new UI and the posibility to rotate the canvas at any desired position.
[P3600 ROM Development] ZakMcRofl:
Hey all,

we now see the first two localized WM6 versions popping up (Greek and French). Thats awesome and I think others will certainly follow.

To encourage others to do the same I suggest we write a tutorial (wiki entry) on how to translate a Rom.

I don't have deep insight on how to do it best but I can contribute my knowledge on the following steps:

- extracting Rom

- extracting NBH

- getting (language) files from emulator image

- switching softkeyboard

- rebuilding Rom

I do have some knowledge about the actual translation (replacing MUI files manually, editing initflash, editing registry) but its not good enough (yet) to write a tutorial about it. I'm also not sure if its easily possible to use the packages made from bepe's tool.

What do you think? If someone can fill my gaps I'd use a tried and tested method to build a german Rom.

The benefit I see if we describe the steps good enough:

- could also be used as Rom cooking first steps

- Roms in other languages could be made by those interested

- make it easier for newbs to get involved instead of just demanding

As soon as I have some free time I'll start writing on it but feel free to beat me to it.
