Max speed of XDA IIs

Dear All,
I'm using IIs with IvanV4R3 and running XCPUScalar overclock to 472 MHz, may i know what's max speed can run and stable. Thanks a lot!

I have two BAs, both will run at 530Mhz and only one will run at 590Mhz continuously. I've learned with WM5 to just eat the battery life and run OCd all the time and just charge daily to make it most usable.

do you have standard battery?

yes.. and an old one at that.. how do the 23-2400mah batteries perform?

Thanks all!

How big are those 2400 mah batteries? Are they thicker/larger/heavier than the standard ones?
Thanks,
Martin

They are a bit thicker and heavier, , but I have a good quality 3rd party leather case, and the Qtek fits in, albeit a bit tight. It will fit in the standard leather case without problem, as it has elastic sides. I can still use the cradle, but the machine is a bit tilted forward... I was a bit uneasy about the cradle at first, but it has been working without any trouble so far... If you want, you can buy a USB sync cable to use instead of a cradle.
What I really wanted, though, is one of those aluminium or magnesium cases, but I am afraid the machine might not fit in a hard metal case with the extended battery... it will depend on the case design.

Extended Battery Opinions Requested

I've been looking at the xv6800 extended battery options. Since I came from an 6700 with the monster extended battery, I'm kind of leaning towards one that is somewhere in the middle. The monster 3200 (or 33, 34... don't remember) was awesome, I don't think I need that much day to day.
I don't think the 1800 is an option, so I guess I have to choose from the ones that require a different battery door. I'm looking for the minimum increase to phone thickness.
Option 1: I can't find measurements, but this looks like the least additional thickness. 2400 Mah. I can't get a good indication on the thickness it adds.
Option 2: This is interesting due to the way it is designed, it looks like it might feel comfy in the hand... 2200 Mah
Option 3: This is pretty much the same, but squares off the back so it might lay on the desk, counter, dashboard, etc more evenly... Another 2400 mah. At that point, I might as well get the monster 3200 Mah
I'm leaning towards option 1 since it is close to double the capacity, but it looks realitively thin.
Thoughts? Opinions?

seidio makes the 3200 one but no case for it.

Yes, I was aware of that, thanks. I'm just wondering if anyone has opinions or reviews of Option 1?

option 1 adds about 1/4 inch

Option 1s picture could be deceiving since the picture makes it hard to tell how thick it is from the side. The monster battery is overkill for me. I would go with option 1 if it extends only half way out as much as the monster battery would. It would be nice if somehow I can get the option 1 battery with the option 2 battery cover.

Option 1 battery with option 2 cover.

I have the option 2 Battery with a slightly different cover...Sort of Slanted sides to a flat and the cover looks great...
But don't bother with 2200 or 2400...
Mine is 2200 and you really don't get a lot extra from it. Can't imagine an extra 200 is going to make a significant difference. You will wake up the next day with a usable unit but you won't make it through the day.
Go for the 3200 if you can get it.
That should let you skip a day on the charging if you have to...

It would be really nice to see these batteries + covers from many different angles. People willing to take some pictures and post them?

It's a battery and cover for a phone. I think if you're worried about "looks" rather than functionality, perhaps the priorities are a bit skewed.
Buy the biggest battery for your needs, the looks are going to be what they are regardless because the manufacturers decide what the thing looks like. If it's ugly, to you, return it.

I don't agree with your comment completely. Yes, looks is a comparison option, and based on that alone, I wouldn't get the 3200, but I know that I will require x minimum amount of battery, so that is not the only consideration. Some of those with the slanted covers appear that they might feel more comfortable from a grip standpoint. The 3200 might be too big as it relates to holsters, pouches, etc. I am asking for opinions across the board, not just a beauty contest
Based on Asphyx reply, I might just go ahead and get a 3x00 variant... probably the prettiest one

I have the seidio battery and extended battery hard cover, it has a rubber"y" grippy feeling to it. Looks fine and all in black. My holster fits just fine.
Not sure what beauty part of a phone has to do with it, you could have a really beautiful dead phone, but well, it's just a really beautiful brick then.

Thanks,
Has anyone found a charging base that works with a phone (6800) that has the extended battery installed? I don't want to unplug the battery to charge it and I'm trying to get away for the cable bit, I liked the base that the 6700 had.

I've done EXTENSIVE looking for this exact thing, and so far have had to mod 2 normal cradles so I can use them with a super extended battery.
The cradles because they had to be modded didn't have anything to support the device standing up, finally gave up and just use the cable on the desktop.

Here are a couple of options for you.
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=832
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=833
The standard dock has a 3.5mm audio port that allows you to plug into external speakers, while the Jr. version is simple sync & charge. Both will work with extended batteries.
Thanks,

NEITHER one of these answers the original request. The only difference between these two cradles is that one lets you keep the rubberized case on the device while charging. That is NOT the same as charging while having the extended battery IN the device using a cradle. I too would like this option. I've asked for this months ago. I have a super extended battery with a rubberized case and want a cradle that accommodates that and a spare battery to charge from the cradle as well.
To date, nothing like this exists.

"official" VZ droid silicone case/skin causes battery to heat up

Just a word of warning. I was seeing my battery at 120F whenever I was multitasking, like uploading stuff to dropbox & streaming music, which shouldn't be that intensive, it was making me crazy. Finally popped off the case, no more heat, I never see it over 100F anymore.
I do not know the model or anything, the turd at verizon unboxed it and discarded the box. It's the silicone one with some sort of reinforcement built into it. It cost like 20 dollars, and they won't take it back now without the box. Jerks.
So... just worth mentioning. Wouldn't have them throw in the case, if I were you. I'm off to search for a very thin silicone one, or something like that.
EDIT:
This case:

I would avoid that. At least it gave me issues.

Was your phone plugged into your charger while doing these tasks?
I have found that when my phone is fully charged, and I am doing a lot of tasks on the phone while it is plugged in, my phone gets really hot. I think it has to do with the charger doing small charge pulses to keep the battery at maximum capacity. I have the otterbox case which sounds very familiar to yours (inner silicon mold with an outer plastic shell), and when I am using the phone hard, I do not get these problems when disconnected from the power outlet.
I could imagine as a little dyi fix, you could cut slits into the silicon so that you still get most of the reinforcement and protection, but now it has a little bit of breathing room. (like a heatsink, but inefficient).
If you are just going to throw the case away, this is an interesting option.

Did you ever find something thin and silicone? I have the pure gear, my phone gets hot and its way too sticky in my pocket.

I think it'd be really interesting to see if the slits would work.. Is anyone willing to try it and post their results? I have the case too.

I have a hard plastic case that i got off Verizon and it also get's super hot on and off the charger, but the official verizon kickstand case http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=50277 doesn't really heat up. The verizon case is way thinner and covers less of the phone, so maybe some holes will help.

My droid 4 gets up to 135°+ when I'm tethering. just don't let it get too high, there's a point where the battery won't charge unless its under a certain temperature

Anyone got one of these? Are they actually hard or that soft rubber?

I have the verizon kickstand case and my phone only hits around 117ish. I dont like going over 120 so i have warnings to let me know when it hits 117. I think the vzw kickstand case helps the temp when the kickstand is being used since it opens 3 large holes in the back.
Hope this helps

I too have the kickstand case. I use my droid for everything, from driving directions in my car using the car mount while listening to slacker radio, to checking emails and facebook while away from my PC. My temperature has hit 130 degrees F. I use a temp monitor to keep an eye on my internal and battery temp. I also point my A/C vent in my car towards my phone to keep it cool during the summer months. Lastly, when using it away from car, as in to tether, i remove my case and slide the keyboard up to keep the most surface area exposed to keep the phone as cool as possible. I use FoxFi to tether my Xbox, PS3, PC, and Asus Transformer 101 all at once.

Upgrading from TF201, few questions

Hi, it's about time for me to do an upgrade, my TF Prime is dying, just random lags and can't handle most new apps well anymore. Was looking at Google Nexus 10 and others including Win8 tablets, but deciding to perhaps give TF series another try. A few questions for people that updated from TF201 (or early devices) to TF701:
1. The speaker, is it louder on TF701, the same, or softer?
2. The headphone jack: is it improved in terms of how tight it holds the connector? The TF201 headphone jack is so loose it always falls out
3. Is it thicker or thinner than the TF201? And weight?
4. Does the device slow after a considerable amount of use? I was really happy with my TF201 initially but it's been slowing like crazy these days
5. Docking issues: seems to be the most talked about one here, is it still a big problem, or does new shipments fix it?
Much thanks in advance.

1. Probably little louder
2. It is ok
3. Thinner I think (compare the specs on Asus website)
4. No
5. New shipments with production month 2013.11 or later must be ok. We are wating for confirmation about this from users.

Thanks for the reply, more inputs from others would be much appreciated
So did Asus claim that the newer productions fixed the issue, or we are just being optimistic about it?

2. The headphone jack: is it improved in terms of how tight it holds the connector? The TF201 headphone jack is so loose it always falls outNo probs with mine
3. Is it thicker or thinner than the TF201? And weight? I would say that docked it is thicker than the prime.
4. Does the device slow after a considerable amount of use? I was really happy with my TF201 initially but it's been slowing like crazy these days No where near as bad as other devices but I think it is the 2GB of ram that fixes that issue
5. Docking issues: seems to be the most talked about one here, is it still a big problem, or does new shipments fix it? Mine from 2013/10 had a loose dock. Connection was fine but I have RMA'd it to get a better dock

One change that you did not mention is the microSD card slot. It's much improved in the 700 and 701. Previously on the 100 and 201 models, an inserted microSD card would protrude by a few millimeters, making it susceptible to to being bumped and accidentally ejected (and lost!). On the more recent devices with the new and improved iteration of the slot, microSD cards are now completely flush with the shell. Accidental ejection is now all but impossible.

Thanks! Yes when I saw the 2GB RAM I was much relieved, they should've done that for the Prime... good to hear.
Too bad they had to sacrifice the weight and thinness for the power though.
But I think I'm still positive about this machine, just need to hear even more about the dock. I guess in the worst case I can always just RMA it. Is there a possibility that they won't let me exchange for a better dock?

Just got new 701, Date 2013.11
I have only few hours, and after semi detailed inspection, everything seems to be OK. Dock doesn't disconnect, even before update was working fine. Headphone jack works as one would expect, no issue to report. No problems with front glass panel. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I don't know exactly what do you mean by lateral flex. Tablet is somewhat loose in the hinge, but that seems to be design, and it 'works' same way as i saw in some videos. I can lift tablet few degrees from closed position before hinge on the dock starts to rotate. If you mean if it twists in the hinge along axis, then only little bit, and it is because of loose nature of the hinge. If you mean something completely different then please make me some very basic diagram or something, I'll try.
However, i discovered some very strange phenomenon with this tablet. It maybe well known effect, but i see it for the first time and it is somewhat hard to describe.
Before, i had only TF101 and it has plastic back. This model has brushed aluminum back. When i trace my finger on the metal surface of tablet's back, i feel subtle... resonance, rumble (?) in my fingertip. Not sure how to describe it. It only occurs when tablet is in the dock and charging from charger, and i have to move fingertip over surface, simply touching surface is not working. I really hope this thing is not possessed.

Unfortunately sounds like Asus haven't fixed the loose hinge on the 11 models then.
The resonance is because the device is not earthed. Happens on metal laptops as well as on my TF201 and TF700 as well. Not much you can do about it

Haha yes, that was the case for TF201 too and I guess with all the brushed aluminum spin finish products. The first time I felt it I thought my tablet was vibrating non-stop, so I got a bit worried. Its' a strange feeling

I was also wondering, with the updated specs (esp. improved WIFI and 2GB RAM), is the browsing experience much improved now? Is it comparable to other major tablets like Nexus 7, iPad Air and Surface 2? Because that's one of the major let down for me on the TF201, browsing experience is simply awful especially after a long time usage, the 1GB RAM and crappy Wifi just won't do, no matter what browser I use.

Yes it is however you can easily fix that on the TF201 with CROMi-X which uses browser to ROM. My prime runs faster than the browser here with browser to ram installed.

[Q] Smart Wireless Charging Phone Sleeve for Nexus 6

Guys, I'm going to be launching a wireless charging phone sleeve on Kickstarter (Novelsys ampere) in January for the Nexus 6. The unique selling point will be the Smart app that communicates with the sleeve.
I'm doing research for the launch now to determine what features to incorporate in this app:
Display estimated battery life in hrs of phone and ampere
Control when charging starts
find your phone or ampere when one is missing
notifications to recharge at time or location
What other features would you like to see? I've recently posted in the S5 and Nexus 5 forums too, and I've been told not to dilute the product, which I agree with heartily. These are the features I've narrowed it down to. What other things do you think we need to bake in? It will probably be open to developers post-Kickstarter.
I myself use a Nexus 4 with Qi built in but I haven't found a satisfactory wireless charging solution yet... that's kinda why I worked on my own.
See more about the product: http://kickstarter.novelsys.co

Just subscribed on your website

Okay so this is meant to protect the phone and charge it at the same time? Im assuming there is a battery inside the case as well as a qi transmitter?

That's right. Paired with an app. And higher build quality than from your typical Qi charger. What do you think about the idea?

Subscribed as well...if you need a beta tester let me know.

Looks excellent, but you need to figure out a solution to why sleeves suck, they either have no top and don't hold the phone well or are too tight.
As long as it comes in black so I can keep it on with my uniform!
I'll beta if I need to as well!

Would you like my wallet now, or later?
Seriously, I hope this will be as good as it sounds.

Yes its black, and the internal colour has been changed from orange to grey so its more suitable for corporate environments!
That's an interesting perspective on sleeves. Yes will take that into account when testing.

aiight, im jumping on the bandwagon too. :fingers-crossed:
just subb'ed and am following you cats on instagram...

I think I'm getting a QI enabled power bank for Christmas..... But a sleeve makes much more sense! I think its a great idea. Definitely more secure and will keep the QI aligned to ensure it stays charging.
Any info about the mah of the sleeve for the Nexus 6. Would need to be enough to charge the device at least twice in my opinion.
What about a using magnets to help secure the phone inside the sleeve instead of just tension?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Premium HD

honestly seems like a pretty good idea, the potential problems I see for this are targeting the correct consumer base. The phone is already big, this will make it huge, therefore its not going in anyones pocket. So, who carries phones around not in a pocket? People that have other places to put them, who has other places to put them?
1. Women (in their purse)
2. Older executives in a briefcase maybe?
3. College kids who might carry a backpack?
I may be wrong, but as much as I would like something like this, its just too inconvenient not to have my phone in my pocket. There's still some clip phone people out there, maybe adding a clip would help? Just my 2 cents, love the idea, just concerned its not being designed for the right demographic aesthetically.

The problem for me as others have mentioned is the bulkiness of the sleeve. When you add in the 3,000mah battery (assuming it would at least be this size) and coils for qi charging it's going to pretty thick. I'm Ok with that because this would be on my visor in my work truck, but wouldn't go great in pocket.

if you are taking the no idea is a bad idea approach, what if you incorporated this into a car mount with the display revealed, so every day I got into my car I could slide it in, and it would charge, then I could slide it out and take it with me, or if I KNEW i was going to need extra battery, I could detach the whole thing and clip it to a belt or throw it in a pack?

Agree with this idea!

I don't mean to intercept, but in the meantime and between time...
I've received this pouch/sleeve (handmade) and posted a bit about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57285596&postcount=42
This pouch/sleeve has a front pocket and I slid in one of the Fone Qi Stone+ wireless portable chargers I use in that pouch and boom! Portable charging on the go.

Very cool idea man. I'll back that.

It looks promising, is there rough price range for the sleeve?

if you are taking the no idea is a bad idea approach, what if you incorporated this into a car mount with the display revealed, so every day I got into my car I could slide it in, and it would charge, then I could slide it out and take it with me, or if I KNEW i was going to need extra battery, I could detach the whole thing and clip it to a belt or throw it in a pack?

That's a pretty sweet idea! Maybe that could come as a stretch goal or in the next iteration of ampere. I originally included a pocket at the back of the sleeve for cards and cash but didn't like the aesthetics/ bulk of it. That could actually have been space for a belt clip. Hmm. I could find some way to hack around it maybe.... thanks for the brilliant idea.

I've received this pouch/sleeve (handmade) and posted a bit about it here:

This pouch/sleeve has a front pocket and I slid in one of the Fone Qi Stone+ wireless portable chargers I use in that pouch and boom! Portable charging on the go.

Please, feel free to share. I've been searching tirelessly for potential competitors too so I can learn how to improve ampere's user experience.
You know what, that's where I got the idea for ampere too, but I think I've made ampere sufficiently sexy, slim, and seamless with alignment + smart charging app that you'll at least consider it over that? If you must know, that was what I put together for the MVP (prototype) to prove product validation. So I guess you can say you just recreated ampere v1.

Too soon to say. Saving the reveal for Kickstarter. Trust you understand

I think I'm getting a QI enabled power bank for Christmas..... But a sleeve makes much more sense! I think its a great idea. Definitely more secure and will keep the QI aligned to ensure it stays charging.
Any info about the mah of the sleeve for the Nexus 6. Would need to be enough to charge the device at least twice in my opinion.
What about a using magnets to help secure the phone inside the sleeve instead of just tension?

I thought about magnets too, but the sleeve itself helps with securing the phone and alignment. Magnets would make it harder to get the phone out of the sleeve, and would necessitate some kind of strap to lift the phone out, which in turn adds some to bulk.

I completely understand, either way it looks like a nice idea, and a convenient way to charge your phone.
