[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talvigi:
So, guys finally I've got my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G530H Duos running again.

I did something some people have been saying here and there but we might didn't believe them, I want to say that they were right by saying that. But the important thing is that they didn't say it well.

These kind of unbelievable things must be explained in detail. So here I am trying to make it a little detailed in plain words so that everybody may understand it.

1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see if it was detected or not, to my surprise, Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.

2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down + home key pressed, to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.

3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. or the device. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i pullup the battery, put it again inside to check its status, did this almost thrice, but still the same black screen, yet i heard the startup sound everytime. Now as far as knew the phone is on but showing nothing, I had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin bar which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Please press thanks button if I helped you anyway.

But kitkat can be still used.

My question is still that if thrre is any solution to be able to use lollypop?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Hello,

I've had this problem for months now, and figured it was bug or something, but recently I did a clean install of lollipop 5.0 (now 5.1.1) and the problem is still there.

Sometimes, when the screen is off, I have no connection. I can see this by looking at Whatsapp web, which uses your phone's connection. It says my phone has no connection. When I press the powerbutton, the message disappears and I start to receive messages.

It doesn't loose connection all the time - I will get the messages eventually with the screen off - 10, 20, 30 minutes.

Here's the thing:

- Stamina mode: OFF (stamina clock and extended usage also off) - well at least it's set to 60% and currently 75% battery.

- Queue background data: OFF

- Wifi NO sleep mode.

- Also happens with 3G

Back in the day, I even tried clearing data on the stamina mode service? I can't remember the details.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
is it only happening with whatsapp? have you checked other websites? try fully turning off stamina mode and do a restart then try connecting.
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
I just tested with pushbullet and message didn't come in.

I have another problem with WiFi, but I'm not sure it's related. I sometimes don't get messages on Wifi either, even with screen ON.

Pushbullet message didn't come in with screen unlocked. Weird thing is, now with lollipop it shows a (!) when the wifi doesn't give you any connection, but it doesn't show that in this case.

The moment I disable wifi, messages come in.

Like I said I'm not sure if it's related..
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
Wish there was other way. But i think you need to start with a factory reset. See if that solves the issue. If not, then try a reinstall. Good luck.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] noisebomb44:
So ive been searching around for a couple of days for the best battery replacement for the old shield tablet, but every battery people find are third party ones, that are untested, and ive got too much stuff in my home to risk getting them all get destroyed just because i bought a bad battery.

So, since i cant buy batteries directly from nvidia, i have tried finding other tablets whos batteries have about the same specs, but so far the only battery ive found that fits is the Nexus 7 battery, which only has 4000 Mah.

Can anyone help me find the best first party battery that fits the shield tablet?

here are the specs i found for the shield battery

size: 75 * 155 * 4 mm

specs: 5200 MaH 3.8 V 19.7 WH

The size isnt that important, just as long as its smaller than the original size

I will try to post updates if i find a better battery, but please help me if you can
[Shield Tablet Accessories] noisebomb44:
Great news!

So, apparently the samsung galaxy tab S8.4 fits our description, mostely.

www . subtel.se / index.php?cl=details&lang=7&anid=919293&cnid=cd01dbd98b61dbccebe8eb11f0ce251d&campaign=se-pla/Akku/919293/

(sorry, i cant post links yet, so you will have to remove the spaces, but unless you live close to sweden, you shouldnt buy it from my link)

BUT dont buy the battery yet, even though the specs seem to match, we still need to see if the size is correct, but thats the problem, i cant find any info about the battery size, and thats why i posted it here.

If anyone on this forum owns this device, then please can you post the size of the battery (W * L * H) so that we can finally can get a fireproof battery

Even if noone owns this device, i will still try to find other alternatives, but i have to say, im really running out of alternatives after looking at most of the best 9 and 8 inch tablets

3.8V 4900mAh

thank you dude! you can check out the thread for that particular device here in XDA :)
[Shield Tablet Accessories] noisebomb44:
I cant find that thread for "galaxy tab S8.4" where you can see the size of the battery

can you link it here?
[Shield Tablet Accessories] sandsandsand:
Hi. I'm also looking for a replacement battery for my Shield tablet.

I hope you will post the results of your experiment...

According to this Norwegian shop the battery has the following dimensions:

107,9mm x 80,7mm x 3,3mm

This looks perfect:

www . allbatteries . co.uk / tablet-battery-3-8v-5100mah-tml90080.html

- but it does not seem like they ship to either Norway or Sweden.

But they have the following comment: "A difference of a few tenths of a volt is negligible and is dependent on the type of cell used to manufacture the battery (3.6V or 3.7V). This difference does not in any way change the battery's intrinsic characteristics."

- So I guess it should be all right to try a 3.7v battery.

Regards
[Shield Tablet Accessories] noisebomb44:
I just came back from holiday, so thats the reson as to why this topic has been so quiet

Thanks for that store! The swedish version didnt have any size information which made it difficult to find if it fits the shield tablet.

The third party battery you posted seems like its going to work, but since it doesnt ship to me, and i dont really trust it more than the ones in other stores, i will see if i can find a first party one soon

Hello , did anyone had problems after replacing battery? i got a new one and connect it same way as it is in https://youtu.be/BJfV5Dr1UTk ( thru original charge controller ) , charged it to full and then tryed to discharge to see how much it takes to check if this 5000mAh on battery was true or not , after ~4h it tablet powered off, but it was showing around 86% battery left, when i tryed turn it on , it wont, so i put it on charger, after full charge i check tablet and it shows 0% on battery, cant get temperature of battery and on default screen show "? " in battery circle ( originaly it was showing remain % ) , tablet stil working fine, charged battery lasts ~same as original one ( mby a little bit less) but it dont show remain %, i was tryed new kernel ( K version from this one http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/tweaked-kernel-nvidia-shield-tablet-t3069776 ) , but still nothing...
[Shield Tablet Accessories] noisebomb44:
Sorry have been gone for this long because of irl problems

you have to calibrate your battery the first time you use it in order for it to display the right numbers

Also, i will answer "igeigeige"s post on monday - tuesday, please post a comment telling me that i forgot to do so if i forget

And i will try to get to the bottom of this soon
[Shield Tablet Accessories] siroga825:
i found this page too, and following it step by step ( method 1 ) and at end of it it says "?" instead of remain %

then tried method 2, result didnt change.. still "?"
[Shield Tablet Accessories] sandsandsand:
All right... Now it's done...

I ordered this battery: www . aliexpress . com /item/L238-3-7V-5000mAH-3564150-polymer-lithium-ion-Li-ion-battery-LG-cell-for-tablet/32362427836.html

And so far it's looking good! I have got battery percentage and temperature ok, and it's charging.

One thing I noticed... If you do this job in a hurry, you could miss the last component between the charging controller and the battery.

Here is an image. Too bad I'm not allowed to post images directly on this forum...

i.imgur . com /Kpsc7Fq.jpg

siroga825: I hope you didn't miss this component?

Regards
[Shield Tablet Accessories] Keithn:
That component is a breaker to kill the circuit if it gets too hot. Let us know how the battery life is, I used a cheap 4000mAh and it's worse than I thought it would be.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] siroga825:
and how you connect new one? i got same battery, you disconnect original board from abttery or its connected thru it?
[Shield Tablet Accessories] sandsandsand:
I used a soldering iron to remove the board that came with the Aliexpress-battery.

I didn't remove any of the 4 wires from the tablet. I cut the two metal strips connecting the charging controller to the original battery. Then I soldered the Aliexpress-battery on to the original charging controller. Important to put plastic tape around the controller and battery terminals, to prevent short circuit.

Use a voltmeter to ensure you connect the polarity right. And remember to discharge yourself before and while doing this job! Static electricity will kill your tablet!

Regards
[Shield Tablet Accessories] sandsandsand:
Here is an update about battery life, after the first day.

I have to say, it's looking pretty ok. But I will wait with the conclusion until I have done a side-by-side comparison with the replacement tablet.

I fully charged and used the tablet today. I'm not a gamer, so it's mainly the screen that draws the juice...

When the tablet turned off because of low battery, it had been on for almost 10 hours, and the screen had been on for about 5 hours and 20 minutes. I have had the screen on about 55% brightness all day.

I hope to do a side-by-side comparison tomorrow...

Regards
[Shield Tablet Accessories] sandsandsand:
Ok.

Today I made a side-by-side comparison of an original tablet and the one with Aliexpress-battery.

I fully charged both, and streamed a movie in loop, with screen brightness 100%.

The one with Aliexpress-battery gave up in about 2 hours.

The original one displays 54% battery level, and estimates another 2 hours to go.

Then we have to conclude that the Aliexpress-battery has about 50% capacity compared to the original one.

So I guess the choice is between a battery with half the capacity, or a battery that may burn down your house.

Maybe some other battery with the right dimensions will show up sometime. Meanwhile I will use the cheap battery that hopefully won't catch fire...

[Shield Tablet Accessories] wejgomi:
If you're really aiming for a good battery with accurate specs, I advise you to consider getting a Nexus 7(2012) battery.

I've been using it in my recall tablet for quite some time now and it's just working great. It fits great inside and charges and holds charge as it should. The capacity is only 4325mah but that's an accurate number and not a false claim as other chinese replacements. I use both tablets actively and I can only tell very little difference in terms of battery life, maybe half an hour give or take. And it's super cheap now!

You obviously will have to cut the connector part and connect the red and black cables each into a single cable and connect them to the former protection circuit. And you won't even have to remove the existing protection circuit from this battery long as you only use the black and red cables. It will charge and work perfectly as the old battery and I've yet to have any issues regarding heating and percentage.

Any questions asked, I'll gladly help, but recall that I don't take responsibility for any damage caused to your tablet.

Enjoy!
[Shield Tablet Accessories] Keithn:
Had a dead N7 so I did the same thing. Had a cheap "4000" mAh in before and it had awful battery life. At leas now I know I have a decent quality battery in it and can still close up the back.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] xanator98:
Messed up any way to fix it

So I messed up when replacing the battery. I did not know that I had to have the original board from the original battery. I disposed of the old battery already (I Should always save them I don't know why I didnt this time) and so long story short I need a way to use the new battery without desoldering the board from the original battery and putting it on the new one. Does anyone have any ideas. Also if anyone has an original battery with the board or has a broken tablet with the original battery I will be willing to buy it from them.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] a2d2604:
Hi,

So you stripped the red wires from the connector, joined them together into a single connection... then did the same thing for the black wires? The yellow & white wires aren't used?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drago_:
Hello,

I'm experiencing sound issues on an I9300, which I bought used. The phone indicates that there are headphones inserted, which leads to no sound from the loud speaker or the earpiece. Using Soundabout I can get them both back, which leads to hardware problem and means I cannot use any headphones.

I have cleaned the 3.5mm jack using a match and duct tape, also with a cotton swab, moistened with alcohol. Didn't help me with the issue so I've decided to buy a whole new loud speaker module. After testing it I found out that the problem isn't actually caused by the jack. When I disassembled the phone I have found some spots. The phone has likely been moistened. The spots looked caused by muddy water or probably cola, because some parts were stuck. Then I got pretty convinced that the issue is with the motherboard.

On the Internet I have found a motherboard treatment with isopropyl alcohol. I've bathed the MB for 10 minutes in that liquid, then let it dry but didn't work either.

Buying another MB would probably solve the problem, but I'm looking for alternative options. I gave $80 for the phone and a new MB costs $30. I'd just get rid of the phone instead, but I just don't feel like buying a low-end phone, either spending all my savings on a high-end one because the Archidroid experience, thanks to JustArchi, is pretty much all what I'm looking for.

Hello everyone,

Until two days back, my google now was working perfectly fine with the cards refreshing on their own based on my location and the time of the day. I did not make any changes whatsoever, but now the cards are not updating. For eg, right now it is showing me cards from 4 days back. Earlier(before google launcher was updated), we could pull down to refresh and it showed the new cards. Now we cannot even manually do it. I have to turn off google now by going into the google settings app, turn on again then they come just for that day and again it doesnt update. I am connected to wifi most of the time.

Any help for the same would be highly appreciated as I rely a lot on Google now.

Thanks

Cheers

Hello

I wanted to update my Xperia M2(Kitkat ->Lollipop). Well Something went wrong and i had red light and Image with dead Android.

I was a little scared but i decided to flash new Rom with flashtool. I did it many times on my old Xperia P(Great phone ;p). Well after finished and successful update( No error in Flashtool ) i wanted to turn on my Xperia and ... it's brick, No lights, Reset Button and Power button don't work. I tried PC Companion repair too, can't use flashmode (Volume - doesn't work).

Computer sometimes doesn't recognise my M2.

1. Debbuging USB is off, i suppose

2. Unkown applications off

Flashtool 18.5

PC Companion the newest update

Please Help me , I'm reallly desperate. Phone was new and a bit expensive .

Should always make sure you have plenty of charge in the battery that's why ota updates don't work with less than 50% battery life. Have you tried leaving it charging overnight without touching it.

Can I reset this **** or something?

[Sony Xperia M2] DSanya:
If I recall correctly, Vol- is for Fastboot, Vol+ for Flashmode.

Try to re-flash your correct .ftf (M2 Dual -> D2302, M2 -> D2303, M2 Aqua -> D2304). First, try without wipe Cache/Data (in Flashtool -> Flashmode), but check "Reset customizations" (if it's fail, check "No final verification" too). Recommend fw is 18.3.1.(whatever).1.17 (KitKat 4.4.4), what you can easily root.

EDIT:

Before you connect your M2 to PC, use a sharp pin to turn off your phone (tiny hole next to the SIM card).
