[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliverisboss:
Hello XDA,

I have an iphone 4s of which the battery swelled. cut the circuit of the cell, threw out the battery, and confirmed that the phone works. Now, I have several extra batteries, and wanted to wire one to the phone. I would wire them to the original battery connector, and it should just click into the factory place and work.

This phone is a test/experiment/I-couldn't-care-less-for-it phone, so the battery would be taped to the back. (my OP3 is my daily driver)

The iPhone has 4 pins, and the only 4 pin battery I have is an aftermarket Galaxy S4 battery.

(2100 mAh F5 3.7v)

My question is this, is there any reason that it will not work, if I connect the 4 pins pin to pin?

According to my knowledge, both the iPhone and Samsung battery are 3.7v, and the the mAh is just the capacity. The thermistor and data pins should detect battery charge and discharge, and the motherboard would adjust to the battery. My logic with this mod is that if the double sized batteries that fit and work on your phone from ebay work, why can't I strap a bigger(bigger in mAh + physical size, but same output-3.7v) battery to the back.

I've done this before on a clone

http://imgur.com/a/ls5Ul

and the battery held for a week with WiFi and Bluetooth on!

I've been googling a lot, and could not find a lot of information as to why this would not work. I've found one worrying link saying that the bigger the mAh of the battery, the larger the Ohm resistance. Is this true? Would a bigger mAh battery fry the phone? I thought mAh was just the capacity in amper hours, not the discharge rate(3.7v?!).

Any info will help a lot, thanks!

-iPhone 4s 16GB

edit:

Would I be able to use a 3 pin battery thus leaving one pin empty?

If I was to use a 3 pin battery, to which pins would I connect them?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliverisboss:
I thought of this too, but could it be that the battery swelled because of a bad battery board?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliverisboss:
Would anyone know which is the positive and negative side on the circuit?(not the battery) There is a small "1" and "2" next to each terminal, but I don't know which is what.

[Huawei Watch] funkyirishman:
Hi

Just bought the watch from Amazon Uk and bought a charger and got it working. Followed all the instructions and synched the watch with my phone (one plus one on RR Rom).

Also change it to developer options and also checked unknown sources. Also downloaded the android wear app onto phone.

However I don't have the Play app store on my phone and it looks like not all contacts have synched and only certain apps fed in. Did all the power off etc and also unpaired phone and same issue. Also updated to latest Android Wear

Cannot find anything on web and just found this forum and trying to find if I am missing something etc as it states in manual it does support facebook, twitter etc but I cannot get these apps loaded onto watch.

Any help appreciated

Cheers
[Huawei Watch] amh10:
Maybe flash AW 2.0 DP5? It will be a complete replacement of the OS.
[Huawei Watch] RudeboyXL:
Pretty sure it just means supports "All" app notifications including facebook, twitter etc etc. These are just standard android notifications. Facebook itself does not have a wear app, thats something facebook would need to release.

Hello.My question is what is the most simple way to get back marshmallow from nougat on a bootloader-blocked,non-rooted phone?

Im not satisfied with the Nougat and I want to use Marshmallow again.

Can i simply use Flashtool,or how can i proceed?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
using FLASHTOOL >> xperifirm

browse your device E6603 / E6633 etc and select your country and at the right you will se two builds Android MM and Android N ( 32.2.A.5.11)

download it ( resume if it disconnects)

once downloaded close xperifirm, let flashtool create FTF bundle for you to FLASH it (ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER)

this is the original untouched stockrom can be flashed on locked bootloaders
[General Questions and Answers] saraphus:
I would like to significantly improve the audio quality on live music video recordings shot with a Nexus 5X. With the iPhone, there were many purpose built condenser mic/interfaces that plugged in directly, but it seems that with Android, there is no such luck? So I need to buy a OTG USB interface/adapter and use a self powered USB mic? Is this true/accurate?

Can anyone recommend a mic that is small, preferably something that attaches to the phone itself? The Shure, Zoom and Rode mics for the iPhone are great I wish there was something like these products for Android devices.

1) Disable any lockscreen security and pin code

2) Add apk shortcut to do homescreen via my files

2) Reboot the device

3) As soon as you see anything on screen rush it and install the apk asap.

It will install :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] junniscorpio:
Where is the apk link ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] drkpheonx:
Or install another launcher like Nova launcher, make it the default launcher.

After that install the S8 launcher from within Nova launcher.

The S8 launcher and hello Bixby both install with no errors at all if you do this.

After that change the default launcher back to TouchWiz home then restart.

No need to put apps on the desktop and quickly install them after the restart.

If you then find you don't want to use Nova any more just uninstall it.

Job done.

I had the same error of conflict with the packages, this happened to me when I update to the room of Uruguay with build date Mon, 17 Apr 2017 and security patch date 2017-04-01, what I did was to install all the S8 applications before putting my Google account and Samsung at the beginning after the factory reset, I had already installed some S8 applications without problem, and I had forgotten some of them, after that, I put my accounts from Google and Samsung from there I started to give error,I hope this help you, greetings from Mexico.

Thanks for the hint. But I don't fully understand, could you install the other apps after setting up the accounts by removing them again?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ramzy_92:
The method works !

but AOD always force to stop cant open it at all
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] billa:
I wonder if it would work by simply removing your existing Google account temporarily, install some apps, then add the same Google account back in?

Also, this adb install command with some option switches supposed to bypass app version issues, so if somebody wants to try it, report back please.

It would either work or fail, but it won't break anything on the phone.

adb install -d -r -t AppName.apk

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] arnab06:
So those who are trying this like me but the result is BIG Zero here I'm sharing something which worked for me for my S7 edge exynos device. I hope this will also work for your device.

First you need to download APKinstaller PC version. This will install apk over USB.

Then adb drivers for your pc to connect your smartphone to pc (I hope you it better than me).

Download for windows version and install with / run with admin rights.

Then connect your phone with USB debugging option enabled (in developer mode).

In that application click on the Installer (top left side green icon) and browse the apk file.

Then the apk will be loaded, select it and then press install button.

Wait for sometime then you will that the apk has been installed into your device without any problem.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ryaneu:
I just discovered a new working method to install apps (.apk) successfully if you got the error "App has not been installed. A package with same name already exists."

Courtesy of thurask

Go to Settings > Lock screen and security > Secure startup. Whatever Secure Startup is set to, toggle it (i.e. turn it on if it's off and turn it off if it's on), then reboot. Installing APKs over system apps works now.

You do not need to root or install any additional apps for this to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] billa:
Looks like there are some new "install" commands in API 24 and newer, it might be worth experimenting with some of these.

pm install [-lrtsfd] [-i PACKAGE] [--user USER_ID] [PATH]

pm install-create [-lrtsfdp] [-i PACKAGE] [-S BYTES]

pm install-write [-S BYTES] SESSION_ID SPLIT_NAME [PATH]

pm install-commit SESSION_ID

pm install-abandon SESSION_ID

ex.

adb shell pm install --user 0 -i <package_name/app.apk>

Also, since running an app install immediately after boot-up seems to work, it points to some activity which kicks in a bit later that is the somehow blocking normal installs. It would be beneficial to try to narrow down and disable the offending activity.

I am using the swipe to unlock phone setting. So, there was nothing in secure startup. I added my fingerprints and then opened secure startup, it said a. do not require pin at startup, b. requires pin at startup. Point a. was selected there. I selected b. and rebooted the phone. It asked for the pin at startup, after the reboot was complete I got the same error. What am I doing wrong here?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SignatureBoy:
Basically you do not need all this kind of crap, its a simple method of the firmware to verify the Signature.

Simply use any ZIP SIGNER APK to sign the APK and then install.

It will install easily but keep that in mind that all NOTE 8 apps will not work with your nouget devices.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] vishalrao8:
Are there any other quick charger available in market which charges faster then OEM turbo charger???
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Hari Haran:
Nothing is better than moto turbo power! It's way faster
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
I've read the Anker (and Aukey too?) brand of QC 2.0/3.0 chargers are good quality and could be cheaper than Moto Turbo chargers. Besides, I'm not sure if QC chargers would vary that much in charging speed, as I imagine the power management would regulate the current/voltage as if it were a stock charger. There's a limit to how much power you can feed into your battery!
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] vishalrao8:
Means turbo charger is best for our Moto??
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
If you want to ensure compatibility - yes, though any charger with Quick Charge 2.0 (certified, ideally) should be okay.

Just make sure, with either a Moto Turbo charger or 3rd party charger, you buy a genuine charger.

You download the image and set it with a file explorer? I use ES file Explorer and use apps like backdrops to choose an image.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] matias49:
I had the same problem, and the solution was still on the "Themes" application.

Setting the lockscreen wallpaper with Nova Launcher didn't work for me. People helped me and this solution worked for me.

On the "Themes" application :

- Access the third tab ("Gallery" I think)

- Touch the first option ("Access Gallery")

- Select your custom picture

- When you are going to comfirm, I'm able to choose between 3 options : "Set as desktop wallpaper", "Set as lockscreen wallpaper" and "set both".

But I had an issue with that. I can't set up big wallpapers (big filesize). The app just crashes.

You still have to download the image
