[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SHA_NDY:
Latest buyer comment on that battery on Aliexpress.com:

"battery life is not that good, about the same as the original phone battery", see http://www.aliexpress.com/store/feedback-score/1489491.html
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kind3r:
Wonder if NFC works. It is hard to believe that a same size of battery can offer double the capacity.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
The battery finally arrived. First impression, it is actually slightly thinner than the original Samsung battery (about 0.10 to 0.20mm thinner). Will have to update the battery life later after I used it for a day or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] line____:
ok men i hope its a good battery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
The battery itself feel quite solid. Actually seems better build than the original Samsung battery which is also made in China. However, NFC doesn't work. I have another 3rd party 1860mah battery and NFC doesn't work on that one either. So it seems only Samsung battery comes with NFC antenna.

However, I found a solution to NFC problem. I purchased this Qi slim coil http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QMIM6EM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 a while back. It contains NFC antenna on it. With it on, it provides NFC for any battery. And since this battery is slightly thinner, it makes this Qi coil fit even better than the OEM battery.

Still can't tell the battery life yet. My gut feeling is it is better than the OEM battery, not worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Enzemo:
is the battery better than the original one?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
After one day of usage, I'd guess it is roughly 30 to 50% more juice than the original one.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kktkaran:
What about Screen on time
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
I don't use screen much. It mostly sit in a spot with very weak cell signal, but ok WiFi signal, all day. I just compare to my other battery with the same usage pattern. So comparing screen on time numbers is useless, IMO. Typically, when my battery dies, SOT is never more than 30min.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] KiDimel:
Hi! After a few days, what would you say about this new battery life ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] foxbat121:
After a week of usage, I'd say it is about the same as the original OEM battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] KiDimel:
Thank you for the feedback !
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Cidious:
I will fly to China in a couple of weeks and will order a couple of these. The battery seems the only real weak point on the Alpha. I have the S6 myself and I bought an Alpha for my girlfriend. I am quite impressed with it. Even TouchWiz is feeling smooth and solid. and it just looks awesome. and feels very portable. I am really starting to love this phone especially when running because of the light weight and small form factor.

The only downside is the battery life sometimes with heavy use and I am not charmed by the extended battery by Samsung itself. Because I bought the Silver edition and I don't want a black or white cover that is thicker. So I will definitely give these babies a test drive in the next couple of weeks and post back.

Thanks for the information so far.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. There is no specific place to ask for app development. We at XDA do everything on our own time and this is a hobby for us so you will probably have a hard time finding someone who will develop an app unless it's something that they want too.

Just was wondering, I currently use the windows simple theme. It actually has no icons on the homescreen. I see at the top tho it has a Tmobile Banner, is there anyway to remove that? Also is there anyway to re-locate the date and time at the very top like where the battery indicator is? Please feel free to leave me suggestions or comments, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks XDA

I think this is in the right topic area, but it was the closest I could find. I'm looking to create an app for android (which I can eventually add to the play store), that contains buttons of a sort in the fact that if you tap on the screen in once place one thing will happen and in another place, something else. Can anyone recommend the software I should use to create this app? Also, what language would be best for it. I think I already know the answer to this, and it may seem like a stupid question, but I don't want to presume and get it wrong. Thanks!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] enginuity2:
I'm looking into AC charging adapters and want to buy the one that will charge the phone the fastest. I've found a 20 watt, 5 volt, 4 amp one. Is anything more even powerful even useful?

TIA
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] panyan:
The PHONE asks for the power from the charger.

If the phone doesnt ask for more than 2amps, for instance, it doesnt matter if youve got a 100amp charger, it wont give it any more than 2amps.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
panyan answers ur question.

However you can reduce the charge time by looking into buying a quick charger 2.0 as the S800 supports this. I repeat: version 2.0! 1.0 does not work with S800.

Details here: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/800

For example:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qualcomm-Ce...682?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ec14a922

or

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qualcomm-Ce...187?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d333ddd6b

will work with the phone. I don't have any quick charger so I don't know how much faster such charger act compared to a normal dc adapter.

The main advantage of buying a charger that has more amps output is that the unit will not heat up as much as compared to a 700mAh-1.5A charger. Because it has more performance to give than a smaller charger which is always going at full throttle.

But as panyan said. Your phone won't use more amps even if u buy one that can output like 20 amps..

And as many here has noticed. In the lollipop roms charging the phone is now ridiculous slow. Instead of 2 hours as we saw in KK roms it now takes like 4-6 hours.

In kitkat I topped 1,5A but now I get like 400mA-650mA. Dunno why they changed this in lollipop.. :rolleyes:

The disadvantage is just a miniscule thing to not even care about.

A charger with higher amps output can have a higher idle current then a smaller charger.

Instead of using something like 0,1W per hour a larger charger might use 0,15W per hour.

There's no linear formula for how it works but it can happen.. you might care about care about this if you are a controlfreak with the elecric bill.

This only applies if you leave your charger in the socket all the time like I do. Some people unplug it some just leave it in ready to charge the phone next time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] panyan:
We have had a discussion about this on the forum before and i dont think the ZU is supported:

https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/devices/all?feature=Quick Charge 2.0&manufacturer=Sony
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
hmm strange... I don't really have much say about this. I have never tried it.

Did anyone around here on the forum tried buying a quickcharger and try?

How would you even know it's working? Is there any verbose output in the catlog or dmesg?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] panyan:
No idea unfortunately, i dont have a quick charge 2.0 charger
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] enginuity2:
I bought a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 charger and it doesn't work on my c6833.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Thank you! Finally someone bought one!

Now we have the answer. Quick charge does not work.

Edit:

I saw something about that quickcharge has the same connector BUT it uses 7 pins instead of 5 as a regular micro usb cable.

And looking into a microscope I can see that the Z ultra micro usb port has 5, five pins.

So the missing part might actually be an hardware issue here?

Translated into:

Source: http://www.swedroid.se/micflip-och-...en-vandbar-microusb-kontakt-via-crowdfunding/

But I can't find any good sources for this.

I took my time to look at a few close up on the nexus 6 usb port. It also uses 5, five pins

But on LG G3 and G4 its a whole other story. Many pins here.

LG G3

LG G4

Same on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 flex SM-N915F. Many pins.

I can't find any good source that tells exacly what Quick charge is about.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lugiank:
Hi guys, in the old S5 you could enable "glove mode" to improve touchscreen sensitivity, with this option enabled you could use a simple pencil as a stylus.

I know it's enabled by default in the S6 (even without an option in settings) but it's not as the S5 was (no pencil stylus here).

Is there a way to make this happen? (Build.prop editing maybe? Or some root stuff?)

No I couldn't get it to work before so I gave up. I went through the suggested setup but still no luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong
[G4 General] cowsquad:
Could you elaborate more? How does it fail
[G4 General] xbayyx:
Of course since I said that I tried it again and now it's working. It's weird though because I did nothing different this time compared to before. Oh well haha
[G4 General] geoff5093:
FoxFi is for people without tethering on their plan, like us on unlimited data. The phone has built-in tethering, but unless it's on your plan it doesn't work. FoxFi bypasses this.

There is a free app, but it's severely limited. The paid version is less than $10.

my tablet is rooted/unlocked. when i boot up the lock icon is unlocked "lock state: unlocked", bootloader version: MANTALJ12, h/w version: 8, product name: manta, reboot mode flag: recovery

i updated supersu, then flashed the latest twrp from the nexus 10 chroma rom twrp download link: twrp-2.8.7.1-shamu.img ... using flashify. there were no errors and said successful

i then rebooted and it will only boot to the download mode, every other option i try (start, recovery) only takes me to a black screen.
