[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] SGH-i200:
You might want to take a look at Sony's Xperia 1 II and 5 II! :)

1m2: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/smartphones/xperia-1m2/specifications

5m2: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/smartphones/xperia-5m2/specifications

Both sport a display without notch or cutout and without rounded edges! But have front-firing stereo speakers, a dedicated camera trigger button, RAW support (basis for GCamMod!), Heat Suppression (HS) and HDMI via USB-C.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Honestly if the Xperia 5 ii had a pure Google software experience and if Sony didn't suck at updates it would probably be high on my list.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] SGH-i200:
I don't understand your points. The Android is pure and Sony is providing monthly updates for 2-3 years!? The only thing holding me back is the price.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
The version of Android on Sony phones isn't a pure Google software experience. It's not heavily modified but it is modified. I'm curious if you have a source that says anything about Sony proving updates for 2-3 years. Sony has a history of being very bad about updates and when it does provide updates the updates are very slow. Even worse than Samsung and LG. The Xperia 5 ii isn't even out yet and the OS is already out of date. Pixels will probably have a developer preview of Android 12 before the Xperia 5 ii even Android 11.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] old.splatterhand:
My Sony xz2 Compact had almost every month an update over a period of 2 years since it was out (at least security updates).

There were only short breaks before major updates.

But it seems to be hard for them, to fix all their bugs.

Can't speak of other Sony phones.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] robburne:
Is it possible to by-pass the Google Factory Reset Protection (GFR)?

My original LG G5 was dropped, I replaced the screen but the phone powers up but no backlight (the power button did not work before the drop) so I purchased G5 on eBay and to be fair to the seler they did highlight the phone seemed to be locked so I trust that it was a genuine sale.

I have followed this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/help/google-frp-factory-reset-protection-t3653532

I tried:

- flashing Nougat and Marshmallow versions of Android, then following guide tried a factory reset after flashing Marshmallow. However when powering on and holding volume keys I just get the LG logo

- followed a video when you gain access to chrome then settings and then apps to clear cache and disable Google play services - clearly a fake solution though

There is a video from rootjunky in which he installs an apk on a G4 but I can't access the file browser to launch.

Am I wasting my time here, anyone had genuine success?

For the record the G5 in question is a H840 variant.

Thanks!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] angler:
Touch Diamond will be equiped with 1000 mAh battery without sacrificing the shape, size and impression of using extended battery.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
That's great, although the capacity isn't that much higher than the original....

Release date?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] liamhere:
100 ???

will that really make a real diffrance????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] angler:
The Mugen webpage tells release date is end of August. There might have not much difference between the OEM 900 mAh with this 1000 mAh, but it is good that Mugen can enhance the battery by this 100 mAh. User can still choose to buy OEM extended battery which has 440 mAh more but has to use another cover with extended size.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] jimmeh1988:
you guys say its not that much - but its an 11% increase! which if your battery lasts 24 hours now - this new one will be an extra 2 and a half hours - its up to you guys if its worth it - im considering it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] halloj:
I'm not too impressed with the lifetime of the Mugen batteries. I've had two in different PDA's and I've experienced short lifetimes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] jimmeh1988:
not as short as the life in my diamond battery!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
Seidio say they will have an OEM sized extended battery that will be more along the lines of 1100mah.. That's the one I'm waiting for.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] jimmeh1988:
sounds more like it! 22% increase! woo!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] halloj:
I'm talking lifetime not discharge time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Nuri58:
I wonder of its lifetime - some of my rechargable 2500 mAh last shorter than those of 2000 mAh running the exact same device after a few usages. Let's hear the experience once you have tried it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
No probs - if they ever release it... They said end of July, so I guess we can expect it any day now. :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] losdrivare:
Well, there is an OEM sized battery on Siedos site now, but it is only 1000 mAh.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] necrom:
In europe the diamond have a 900mAH so 1000mAH doesn't give more. Perhaps 1 or 2 hours in stand by ? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
I know - what a shame....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] OK!:
It's a shame the promised capacity hasn't appeared, but the 11% increase will certainly help me. With the original to carry as a spare I doubt I'll have to change often, but atleast I'll have the option.

As far as the HTC delay is concerned, I have a feeling they may surprise us, with an original sized extended capacity. Their theme is 'innovation' afteral, and there have been some interesting developments in Lion batteries recently. They have the punch to make investments in the right place. I'm holding out hope anyway lol. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] dctech:
I found a 1050mAh battery

Hey guys, I just fund this on amazon.de. It looks to be standard size.

http://www.amazon.de/1050mAh-Li-Ion-Diamond-T-Mobile-Compact/dp/B001GZKANU

I just ordered one. I've had good experiences so far with the seller. I'll report back once I get it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] chryss2k:
I am waiting for a review :) anyway it seems that the price is too low for a good battery...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Nuri58:
There is one little issue with these kind of batteries, they may catch fire if not properly designed and for the phone. I the east you get batteries rated from A to AAA depending on how good they are and the risk. It doesn't happen often but make sure your phone is ventilated (not put on a carpet or covered) while recharging over night
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] duncho:
Do you believe what capacity they print on that battery??? I wouldn't unless someone test it. I used to work with Cadex battery analyzer and believe me, there are so many lies on batteries even brand new ones as GP, Energizer, etc. Consider buying it...

You better buy this one for 7USD with worldwide free shipping:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] jupppo:
I also would warn the users of ordering in the eten webshop.

Although I ordered quite some stuff with them, my 1000mAh Battery, ordered on the 15th September, still not arrived.

Online tracking of the parcel shows no result and you get only promises from eten, but no money nor a refund.

Actually the have a European Website (Hungary), but the company sits in Honk Kong, so if they simply not refund you, your money is down the drain.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] sandervanzijl:
ordered from the same site and no problems. delivery was delayed a little bit, but i got the battery
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] dctech:
First Report

So I received the 1050 mAh battery yesterday. It seems to be in a similar although not identical casing as the OEM battery from HTC. It seems that the case is perhaps 0.1-0.2 mm thicker when compared side by side, and I also noticed that the fitment of the phone cover (O2 XDA Diamond) is a little snug. If I were to guess the fitment would be perfect if one were to take of the plastic label.

I have not had the time to do any sort of real testing to verify it's capacity. The only thing I can say is that when using PowerGuard reported an voltage of 4152 mV with a 100% charge from the HTC 900 mAh battery, and when I had only charged this new one to 87% it showed already 4274 mV. (I know this is by no means scientific or conclusive, and that Voltage alone is not a accurate measure of remaining charge etc. etc...).

As far as temperature goes I'd say there is no significant difference. The HTC battery ranged from 26.9°C (Idle no charge) to 32.1°C (Charging in desktop stand). The new battery seems do have about the same range: 27.0°C to 31.2°C. So thus far I am not overly concerned about it catching fire in my pocket.

I will try to do something a little more scientific when I get a chance, but that will have to wait for the weekend because I use my diamond for work under varying conditions. Perhaps a GPS test like some of magazines/internet bloggers use would yield the quickest and most reliable results. I snapped a pic of the battery with my diamond before I put it in and I'm posting it here for those interested.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] tmohammad:
Look forwards to the results. It would be interesting to see if it actually better than the stock battery.

I'd hate to think that its the same as the stock battery but with the additional misleading sticker
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] tmohammad:
DCTECH, Managed to do any more testing?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] counterfitninja:
Would certainly be interested in how good/bad this is.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] counterfitninja:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] sickboy555:
maybe the misleading sticker accounts for the additional thickness. LOL.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] counterfitninja:
Did we manage to get an update on this battery?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] shinji_lee:
Any updates?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] losdrivare:
I'd speculate that the difference is either nil or so small that you won't notice the difference with normal usage. I think that's why no-one of the people who bought it is reporting back. People want to be able to justify their purchases... :rolleyes:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] nvlicious:
As title says. Is it worth it? I'm hoping to at least getting 4-5 sot with real original battery from the lg itself.

Before this i bought a battery from a random merchant with good testimonies. But the battery i got cause the phone to turn off itself while still having about 30% percentage after few months.

So should i giving a hope to this phone or buy a new phone with gigantic battery capacity?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
Original batteries that you may find have all been produced some years ago, I think that would be better to buy a recently made aftermarket battery, such as VHBW or Patona. Throwing away the last flagship phone designed with a replaceable battery because you don't want to change the battery is nonsense: with 30€ you can buy two or three batteries.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] nvlicious:
I can't find available stock for both those brands you mentioned.

And also I live Indonesia, I guess I'll give a try to come to service center and see if they still have a battery stock
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] totalnoob34:
I suggest you do yourself/have somebody adapt the s7edge cell to the G5 circuitry. On r/LGG5 you should find all the info on this - other paths may be getting a third party G5 replacement, but be wary of inflated claims (3000 mAh is the most you can fit in the G5 OEM battery form factor.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] :

Hope they throw us a bone and give us blood oxygen monitoring and vo2 max on top of the ECG and fall protection. It's supposed to be the same sensor and it's the least they can do after making us wait a year for something that was supposed to take 3 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] adfree:
Maybe better lower your expection. :D :o

Somewhere in Korean Forum... I am too lazy to search the link again...

Maybe Blood Oxygen is not "possible" on GWA2...

Something like "optimized" advanced blabla... GW3...

This means not SM-R500 and GWA2 have no red LED... :rolleyes:

About ECG... not forget Running Gag:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhbWkHwyRO8

Still only Korea official Release... both. BP and ECG... and no news also on GW3... :rolleyes:

Aaaaaaand... if ECG on Tizen 4.0.0.8 fail... then maybe also out of luck on Tizen 5.5...

Maybe Hardware issue... :o :(

My opinion.

Be lucky if I am wrong. :D ;)

Oh... and LTE user have to wait longer...

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] anych:
The sensor is same, but Samsung will never let go blood oxygen for GWA2 :( If they do, it makes no sense to comes out Watch 3, no one will buy it. Оnly can hope for ECG, but I lose hope for that too. Maybe fall protection will come.

hi. could anyone clarify a few things for me? i have a watch active 2 which originally had india csc. i changed it to korea and received 4.0.0.8 update which did not bring ecg and bp. now it is updating to 5.5 as i type this. can anyone tell me how to get the ecg and bp running? i have the modified samsung health monitor apk installed. version 159. i see that the latest is 167 but i cant find it anywhere. what am i doing wrong here?

i should also mention here that i changed the csc to usa earlier and used sdb kit to push bp ecg tpks to my watch. it did install SHM but when i clicked it on the watch, nothing happened. it went away after a reboot. which is when i decided to change the csc to korea. any help will be highly appreciated. it sucks that we have to go through so many hoops to get the features we were promised when they sold us the device.

I wish Samsung just improve GPS and better GPX recording while running on CTH8. Five seconds interval for GPX files is to long and GPS accuracy is to weak. I'm not asking to be like a garmin sports watch, but a little bit of improvement in this area will be wellcome.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] defeat2:
Well have you gone for a run since you updated? VO2max is a fitness-related number calculated using the speed, distance and heartrate of your latest run. You can't just "measure it" on the spot. It's not to be confused with SpO2/blood oxygen levels which isn't a part of this update for the Active 2.

You need a galaxy phone for ECG for some reason
