I have a normal Samsung Wireless charger and just want to share that it took me to fully charge my phone 2 hours.

Can someone tell me how fast it is with the "Fast" Wireless charger ? Because 2 hours is pretty fast to me.

(I forgot to messure time of the Wall Fast Charger, will do on next charging session, just to see that difference).

Best,

will i be able to use a T-Mobile phone on AT&T network if i install AT&T firmware?

i have a T-Mobile galaxy edge and want to use it on AT&T network and i was just wondering if i change the firmware will i be able to then use it on the AT&T mobile network?? or if anyone knows how i can do this please let me know how, from what i've learned the lock is due to a certain permission needed from the IMEI, i was also wondering if it can work by changing the IMEI??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA!

In short, no and no. A SIM lock is due to something different. A firmware change from one carrier to another (in my experience) will not only not affect the SIM lock, but it can be disastrous for the phone. Changing the IMEI also has it's consequences.

I am connecting you to the forum your device experts can be found (T-Mo Galaxy Edge Q&A):

> T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge > T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The experts will likely have some suggestions on how to SIM unlock.

Please note, to respond to replies, you will need to register for an XDA account.

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 996gt2:
I'm thinking about replacing the battery in my 1.5 year old nexus 5 with a new one.

Looking on eBay, it seems like there are hundreds of sellers selling supposedly genuine LG BL-T9 batteries for around $10-15.

Does anyone have recommendations for reputable sellers who's selling the genuine batteries and not knockoffs or old stock batteries that have been sitting for a long time? It would be pretty disappointing to go through the effort of swapping batteries only to end up with a subpar battery.

Help! I need a battery don't know where to go
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toobs:
Everything on eBay and almost everything on Amazon appear to be fake based on a detailed look at the reviews.

I think "100% Geniune Original" is eBay code for fake.

The only place I'd feel confident of getting a proper LG BL-T9 battery would be the official LG parts suppliers.

e.g. https://lg.encompass.com/item/10389517/

Unfortunately the markup in Australia is quite ridiculous and the US parts supplier won't ship batteries to AU

http://www.statewideapp.com.au/lg-lithium-polymer-battery-175925
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave08:

Based on my country(Brasil) i could only find used ones (which is a luck shot, in my case it was worth it)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toobs:
Apparently lithium batteries can't be sent at to "Australia, Germany, Italy, Laos or Macao" without special courier arrangements which negates any possible savings.

Probably easier for me to ask a friend in the states to receive a package for me and forward it to Australia as "Electronic Parts" or similar... considering all the fakes from eBay come from HK or China via airmail with no special packaging or courier arrangements I wouldn't feel the least bit guilty shipping one genuine battery to myself via post in the same fashion.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimreaper1014:
This is the one that I purchased from amazon. It is definetely an OEM battery. You just have to make sure you get it from the same seller as me and all will be fine. The one you want is from Ekhan electronics. This is the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NCJMQXK/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have been using mine since Sept with no issues at all and around 5 hours of SOT.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umataro:
even from Ekhan electronics, it won't be genuine. read people's reviews. i bought one (from ekhan electronics) before there were that many bad reviews hoping it's the real thing. it puffed up after about a month.

i ended up getting a third party battery; one that wasn't pretending to be genuine LG but carried proper 2 year warranty in my country. unfortunately, i don't remember the brand and i'm not going to open my phone to find out. i caused enough damage last time i opened it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimreaper1014:
The problem with amazon is they combine reviews. So the reviews that are shown are for all the sellers that can be chosen in that listing. I assure you this is the real deal as I have purchased multiple and ripped them apart. So like I said those 245 reviews are not all his. When you go to a listing on Amazon you can select from multiple sellers in that listing and all their reviews get combined which is very confusing and dumb. This guy most definetely swollen the real deal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer151:
I just bought one from spareslg.com (Portugal, shipped to Canada). Installed it no problem, but found when I turned the phone on the battery was at 47%. I assumed it should have been at 100% like any other regular brand-new battery you buy off the shelf. I e-mailed spareslg to ask what was up with that, and they haven't replied. My engineer buddy says the batteries can discharge while sitting on the shelf, so he doesn't think it's weird. My feeling is it's OEM. I haven't noticed any difference in battery life, though, compared to the one I replaced, so either it's a used OEM, or my phone is the problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santi1993:
they discharge itself, the thing is about when they get the first charge after first discharge, thats the first cycle and in that moment the batt starts his lifecycle
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
FWIW fake batteries are not synonymous with junk batteries. I've been getting 5-6hrs SOT with my year old fake battery I got from etradesupply. The only reason I knew it was fake is that the temperature is stuck on 29*C. No functional temp sensor but I'm getting better battery life than I did with the stock battery that came with the phone. I'll let you know if it catches on fire and burns me or my house.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spibbs:
Does anyone know anything about these batteries?

Empire Battery BLP-1385-2.3

I tried to send a question through their website contact form, but there was an error and it wouldn't go through. They appear to be new batteries, the same specs as the original OEM BL-T9 batteries. I wonder if they have working temperature sensors.

It's tough to accept that the best option is to try to find an old oem battery that has been sitting on a shelf for 4 years. I think I'd pay around $50 for a real new battery with the same specs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magix01:
I think this battery is OEM i ordered it and will try:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Origin...var=591145508905&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Since it has all the right data i think its OEM, usually when people sell on ebay they blur out the logo for non oem stuff, not the case with this one, waiting for it to arrive and we'll see.

[Mobile Ad Networks] duzins:
Monetize apps w/o UX impact

One of our clients has a monetization option that doesn't actually show ads in the app but in nearby (to the phone) ads on connected displays (on taxi tvs, gas pump displays, kiosks, billboards, etc). Mira.is is an SDK with minimal resource impact, anonymized info (they only collect the phone id, but still they anonymize that) and the CPMs are pretty strong.

Until they open the beta up, the only way to try it is to either sign up and go into the queue or talk to the founder, but I'm happy to connect anyone here w/him to see if your app is a good match for the beta. I know he's really looking for app developers now to help try it out before the official launch. You can PM me or email me at robyn@mariposaagency.com if you want me to make an intro.

I'm biased, because, like I said, he's a client, but with the outcry for ad blocking on mobile browsers, I think it's pretty clear that users don't enjoy in-app ads, and Mira is one of those companies that has a strong solution for monetization w/o UX impact.

thanks,

If you have firmware above coc4 you CAN NOT downgrade and are stuck on 5.0.1 no root. Go to phone setting/general/about device scroll down. If you see the baseband ends in coc5 or coc6 you are stuck

Now any one tell me this downgrade will be safe.?

I know it's Kies rather than Odin, but I wouldn't try it myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] umerkhan34:

If this downgrade is risky then i'll update to 5.1.1.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
AFAIK, no one has successfully downgraded from OC6/OC5 or higher without soft bricking. No one has mentioned trying your method either though. Not that I recall at least.

You can try it. Worst case scenario, you soft brick your phone (which is a fixable type of bricking) and have to use Odin to get back to OC6 or higher. Then the phone will be ok again.

If I were you, I'd download the OC6 or 5.1.1 Odin files first. Just so you're ready if you did soft brick. Less time without your phone.

hi friends

thanks for all help and post

but now its time to say bye bye to t2 ultra as well as sony as i have bought Mi 4 in just 13999 under amazon scheme :D

reasons for leaving sony

no value for money

no update

no support

poor quality of hardware

what i will miss

you all a lot

from sony's end

delayed updates

less bug fixing

less community support

i really loved sony but at the end i found it not worthy

so last time bye guys have fun folks
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rrd84:
Why mi 4? For price or what?

I'm also thinking to shift..

My reason..

No xposed,

no cm..

Less ram & internal memory compared to few latest models

etc

Thinking for moto x play or Asus selfie..

Already got Asus zp 2 best phone.. Lots of updates..
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
MI 4 has official cm12.1 support

3 gb ram

Yes internal memory is issue but not huge 11gb for me is enough

Abt xposed I don't think you might need it

I was using xposed for below reasons on sony

Call recording

Memory management

Screen effects

Theme and notification customization

Above all I get in miui buid in

Its been 3 days I have been playing with the device and haven't found a reason to mood or root

Everything is there which really matters

Yes I miss one thing which is double tap and gesture wake which is not there

But after reading forums at miui developer has to say such features use high battery so has not been kept

Regarding update miui has two roms developers and stable

Where in developer rom gets weekly update and stable gets monthly update

One more thing MI 4 still running 4.4 and not clear about 5.1 update but miui7 developer is available and stable is confined next month most probably

YouTube review from geekranjeet c4etech really helped me to choose from

Mi4

Mi4i

One plus one and two

Asus

[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
With even a modest set of modifications, the monthly OTA update is incredibly annoying. Especially for people who actually have important things they need to do rather than manually apply updates to their phone.

And we all know that the monthly ota updates are just a show being put on to address complaints that have no bearing in reality. Specifically, all those nasty security holes that really don't lead to anything besides mild annoyance, IF somebody bothered to try to exploit them. Like for example the most [in]famous bug in StageFright that could allow a hacker to... do absolutely nothing of consequence (since it is protected by user access rights -- the "media" user, and also selinux which would nail it quite quickly. There is also the bug that could break out of the lockscreen if somebody bothered to punch in an absurdly long random password.... but only affects people who actually use a password lock (as opposed to pin, pattern, face, or none).

So here is a very easy little program that stops the SystemUpdateService from doing its thing;

http://github.com/lbdroid/StopOTA

You will have to compile it yourself.

Don't share binaries, I don't like that. If you can't figure out how to compile, you are unworthy, if I catch you, I will stop giving things away for free.

If you want to learn how to compile simple Android applications, feel free to ask! I'd be happy to help.

If you would like to contribute, submit a pull request!

Don't forget to read the project README file, it explains about it properly.

This should work with any device that uses gms SystemUpdateService for its OTAs. I've personally tested on Nexus 5, 6, and 9.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
or.. you can long press on the ota notification, then press do notnotify , without needing the knowledge to compile anything. and yes, anyone can do itit, for free, and without the knowledge to compile anything. and, i will keep helping users out. btw, who the heck publishes something on xda, then says they wont publish anything else if they dont compile it themselves? thats a first time ive ever seen anyone post such a ludicrous statement. im sorry, but you are the one thats unworthy. i mean all respect to you, i appreciate whatever help you give here on xda, but that statement does nothing for you.
[Nexus 6  General] bweN diorD:
just lol!!

i mean, really, the reasons to buy a nexus device are short and simple,

1. frequent updates to keep you protected and running smooth

2. development and modding

thanks for providing the community with this tool, but seriously, provide them with a working tool or dont post it.

why limit its use to the vast minority of those who can build it, then threaten us with no more of your work if anyone shares it? not cool

so why not post it built for those who might actually use it?

imo, if updates bother you because there too frequent, you should buy pretty much any non nexus device, and be at the mercy of your carrier for updates.

i can build this, and pretty much anything else i want on my phone, but i would never use it. i guess thats my point here....
