hey guys, i recently switched to an athena after my universal dies in the process of shifting to 128mb i shorted the pin and windows was recognizing only 64 at the time.. the i read somewhere in the threads that (the area in red needs one resistor) so i was trying to put the resistor in when all of a sudden i was using the desoldering wire to remove excess solder from the sides (stupid stupid me.. i know i should have rushed, not used that braid ..) so anyway i knocked off some resistors because the board was hot.. i didn't know what went where and what resistors values they are.. so at first mt uni powered up with the radio not working (obviously the radio rom area missing resistor) then i messed with it more and 2 more resistors in the process now all i see is a blue led powering up when the battery is fitted in.. thats aboutr it.. i didnt mess with it more due to the urgency of my work needing a device asap so i had to overnight an athena over to myself and now ive been happy with it. my universal is up for sale .. if anyone knows what the values of these 5 resistors are and is tech savvy my uni is all yours.
should i sell it on ebay as parts.. i know the screen alone is almost 200 usd.. i have everything for it.. my screen is in perfect condition it even has a washable and reusable screen protector on it. i have a 4800mah battery and a regular one too.. a covertec leather case and another one also from covertec modded to fit the 4800mah battery. is anyone interested in this bundle.. i don't know what its worth, my athena cost me around 1000usd and i was hoping to pull around 300 or so for my universal and accessories.. (extended battery 1 month old and external battery charger, original 1600mah battery, 1 brand new covertec leather case, used 2 days another modded covertec leather case used for 4 months, screen protector that was on all the time.. ) anybody with an offer contact me [email protected]
see the attached picture for the area with the dead resistors(i mean missing resistors, 5 of them)
Can you post the leather case pic
Hi ya,
I know this is off topic, but can you post some pics of the modded Covertec case? cos I just got my 5000 maH batt and need a case

Does anyone know if this clear case is any good ?
http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=70
I have an aluminium one but would like to change it to a clear one.
I like it very much
Ordered one with Proporta
Unfortunately theyre still out of stock there (price 14,95 GBP)
I rang pdamods.com this morning and they said they have them in stock and it would be delivered to my home tomorrow - Can't wait for it !!!
i rang proporta today to cancel my order but when speaking to the guy he said:
they come in this morning do i still want to cancel my order so i changed my mind he said hell get mine sent today 1st class so i should have tomorrow also cant wait nearly 2 months of waiting lol
i just wrote them a mail awhile agoe and got it back the server said it could not resolve the addresss then i went to their site
to look for another adress
and saw that my case was marked as ready to ship aswell
hope it gets here one day
Woohoo! Good news that i might finally recieve my order. Darn shame the phone is on its 2nd visit to the xda service centre
what is wrong with your XDA 2 (again) ?
Hanging a lot, first time i sent it back they apparentely reflashed the bootloader, but the same problems were happening when they returned it.
:lol:
jeeeha!! Mine is ready to ship as well.
Gues I just ordered mine just-in-time
(I canceled my previous order to express my anger form waiting more than a month)
just got a mail that mine had ship'd
now i can finaly change number without having to pull out the whole device
because i did try to map the play next and prev to the inc and dec and inc vol button on the side but it dont always work so sometimes it change the song at sometimes it inc the vol
Mine has shipped too. Delivery in approx. 7 days. Pitty (for that) I am on holiday then . . .

how is it ?
does it feel bulky?
does dancing riverdance on it break it ?
does it dec the gsm signal str ?
does it reflect light making it diff to see the screen with lights around?
and does the beltclip from the std case fit the hole under the cam hole ?

it doesnt feel too bulky at all, in fact it is the slimmest fitting case i have found so far for the xda. I used to use the proporta aluminium case which is a little bit bigger and thicker and heavier than this.
i have given the front a good squish test and even sat on it a few times and it seems vers strong. not as solid as the aluminium one but pretty damn close (has a little more give in it)
yey, yey, yey, i get full gsm signal with the case on as oposed to half signal that i used to get with the alu one!
a little light reflection from the case, however the screen is very visible and totally clear and colourful. I havent tested it in bright sunlight yet, however with a spot lamp it is fine!!!
there doesnt appear to be a belt clip attachment at all (unlike the alu one), so this might be an issue for people
Hope this helps guys!
to sum up i think this is the best case i have found yet for the xda II, all the buttons are easily accessible and the flip over top design is much easier to hold than the side opening alu one. It is a brilliant case!
2 possible draw backs that dont bother me at all :
1) no belt clip
2) no sd storage slots
brilliant design i recommend everyone who is looking for a small case for keeping their xfda in their pocket gets this. i am very impressed. was worth the 2 month wait!!
well from looking at your pictures there is a hole under the hole for the cam
on the std case there is a hole like it and you put in the org beltclip in it and it locks
are you positive that you cant just plug in your org beltclip
i dont really use the beltclip for anything other then stoping my xda
from moving to the buttom of my front pockets, so the clip in on the outside of the pocket
(yes i have abnormaly large pockets )
I work directly with China's largest manufacturer of Extended batteries. They finished the AT&T Samsung Vibrant for T-Mobile and I've sold a bunch already with 100% feedback on Ebay. Userid is kevinjmoore. Unfortunately, they don't want to make a mold for the Captivate because they don't think there is enough demand in the USA to warrant it. To prove them wrong, I am trying to generate interest so that I can pay for the door mold charge and have them produce a bunch. The battery is the same as the Vibrant so that part is done. It is a 2800maH, which is nearly double the capacity and does last more than twice as long as stock--I know, I have the phone. Please email me at kevinjmoore at gmail dot com to get more details and help us get this rolling. I've reviewed all the forums out there and battery life is definitely one of the top issues. The rubberized door feel is awesome and it doesn't add a bunch of thickness to the phone like you think it might. Total production time is 20-25 days. My price will be at most $40 incl shipping. I may bring it down if demand is high enough. I will need a minimum of 50% fully refundable deposit. If I don't get enough demand in 30 days, I'll refund completely (less $0.30 Paypal fee). Please forward this, tweet this, facebook this and let's get this thing done My communication and customer service is second to none. We are building a US based website that will be up in 2 weeks detailing the over 35 other phones/extended batteries and hundreds of accessories (including IPAD and IPHONE) that we carry.
I found this pic on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Vibrant...448289815?pt=US_Batteries&hash=item1e5f52f017
There is no way I would do that to my captivate. Just make a battery that fits in the factory space that has a 25% more power and i would be happy.

I would do it in a second for double the life are you kidding me! As long as the back cover had some sort of style to it.
unfortunately I'm gonna wait for the seidio 3000mah extended battery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Ewwwww...
That looks fugly as hell... I would get 2 extra OEMs w/ desktop charger instead...
Doesn't look horrid for the Vibrant. But the Captivate? Yea.. look like a damn camel hump or a hemorrhoid on the back of my phone. No thanks.
I had one on my Dream and other than being somewhat a nuisance for carrying cases/belt clips it was well worth it. In fact it worked so well I sold it to my buddy who had a dream when I switched to the captivate. He loves the damn thing cause he can use his phone all day long now without having to charge it.
I am a someone who prefers function over cosmetics. If it works better but is uglier wtf cares? When was the last time you looked at the back of your phone and was like wow- that sure is purdy You don't interact with the back of your phone. Also with the back being rubberized I would find it easier to rest on my shoulder during long tech calls with clients as I dont use bluetooth headsets. Just this morning I almost dropped my cap as it slipped from my hand getting out of the car- luckily I caught it, but still with the rubber this is less likely to happen. Again.. function over form all day all long.
I carry mine in my pocket. I like the captivate because it's thin. If I need to I'll carry spare battery before I double the thickness of the phone...I'm just sayin'
Mike
if i had the battery i could make the dies. are you looking to make a plastic cover or stamp an aluminum one?
anyway it would be nice to have on hand for trips or events where i dont know how long i will go without a charger. i dont think i would walk around with that in my pocket but it would be nice to have one available for occasional use and there are plenty of people that have come around here complaining about horrid battery life. i find the battery life quite good and in an every day environment you can always plan around it but obviously some people want more or just like to complain.
If I traveled, I would be all over this. Unfortunately, the $9 2-pack of batteries with wall charger on eBay just doesn't makes this as economical when I can just reach over and pop in a fresh battery and have the old one start charging.
It adds a "WHOPPING" 6 mm to the phone (not even 1/4"). I gave it to my friend to hold and he said he actually liked the feel better with the door that way. It felt more stable and fit perfectly to how you cradle your phone. The door is better than stock and fits easily in your pocket. It is NOT bulky at all. To not have to charge your phone every 7 or 8 hours if you are a moderate to heavy user is so worth it. I can't imagine not having it or carrying around 2 or 3 batteries all the time.
It is 6mm extra on an 11 mm phone (about 50% thicker for double capacity). It's a no-brainer.
i think you'd sell them but i think this might not be the right forum for it, the less than enthused response doesn't mean that people who travel aren't looking for something like this, it just means that we dont have that many people on the forum looking for this. are you getting feedback on your ebay store asking for it?
Email me at kevinjmoore at gmail to discuss.
Correct me if I am wrong but...
Isn't our metal back plate aid in reception? I thought the antenna was in direct contact with the back plate. Seems to me that a big piece of plastic holding in a big battery would give us signal loss...

no it appears to be grounded not an antenna but i could be wrong i dont know much about cell antenna design. there are two contacts and one goes to the metal chassis indirectly through a shiny plating on the back of the plastic housing. the other goes to the board but i didn't trace it to tell if it went to the points that contact the chassis and plastic cover, electronics today can be difficult trace.
i know some antennas form a loop and it can very well be an antenna but i find that my phone works fin with the battery door removed. also there is no reason a new batery door cant be stamped from aluminum. or lined with aluminum tape.
I assume that you can't have a battery like this and use a case like the Body Glove Mirage? Are there alternative cases that will work with a battery like this?
A better solution would be a silicone case with a pocket for a spare battery. Carry it when you need to and switch when you need to.
a picture (if you have a functional unit) would be a lot helpful...

From my experience with the BG Mirage + the specs provided by the OP, its a definite No. Not with 6mm (50% thicker) but i would applaud anyone who would try it. Who knows, it might actually work out. Now if only Otterbox cases work with ANY extended batteries..........then I am ALL OVER IT.
I've always been a minimalist when it comes to accessories.. covers/cases/car docks. Anyway Here's a simple solution I've been using since day one with my Evo. Simple magnet holder.. Below is the link.. $5.00 . Take off your battery cover... the Metal plate the size of a quarter with adhesive sticker sticks to your battery... then put your battery cover on. Then put the magnet anywhere on your dash.. it's black and a half inch thick .. about an inch or so in diamater.. it also has an adhesive sticker. It pretty inconspicuous.. I have mine right above my radio on the dash. It's perfect.. the magnetic strength is strong enough it has NEVER fallen off.. also it's great cuz you can just turn your phone in portrait or landscape without issue. Also the softouch oem battery cover doesn't scratch from putting it off and on.. like I thought it might. So easy to just set it against the dash when getting in the car and pulling it off getting out.
http://www.amazon.com/Cellet-Retail-Packaged-Universal-Magnetic/dp/B000KNLG3M
Yeah it kinda sucks there is no power to it.. But I just have my cigarette charger there so I can just attach it when needed.
Looks really cool, I might try it out.
hey op, mind sharing a couple picture of how your phone looks with the attachment? thanks!
I too would love to see how it looks attached to your phone. If you could provide a closeup shot of the adhesive attached to the back of your phone as well as a pic of the phone sitting on your dashboard that would be great.
Thanks!
I used one like this on my old TP2 and I loved it. You only have a little piece of metal on the back of your phone and the magnet attached to your car is really strong. Thanks for the link, I might pick up another one.
I'll attach a pic tomorrow.. don't have a camera other than the one on the phone.. I'll use a friends camera tomorrow for a few shots.
and that magnet doesn't mess up navigation by throwing off the internal compass or whatever?

Yeah that would be my worry... magnet that close to electronics.
I shouldn't cause any issues for the phone itself, but the compass is likely affected. The Palm Pre has little metal tabs in the case in a similar fashion and it doesn't suffer any bad side effects of being on the touchstone (magnetic connection + inductive charging) but the Pre doesn't have a compass.
Just ordered 2 of them to try out, total as under $10.00. One of the advantages is that I think I'll be able to attach my EVO to my multitude of touchstones, even if it can't charge. (yet, may do that mod if I keep the EVO)
Thanks for the tip!
Heya guys,
I have the 2000mAh Extended battery kit.
I was wondering whether there are any replacement covers for the thickened battery covers the 2000mAh battery kit comes with, I'm just worried that if I break this cover, I don't want to buy the entire kit again, so I was wondering if there were any replacements you can buy online? I've checked eBay and other online markets, and wasn't able to find it.
If you guys know of any suppliers online who sells cool looking alternatives for the 2000mAh battery cover that came with the kit, could you guys link me there?
Thanks
Nicholas

Yep i guess we are screwed, im waiting for the price of the kit going down again.
send a email to the people who make the kit and see if they do any different versions? or if you could get some extra ones like you have, what about covering them in vinal, painting to your own design etc

There is practically nothing you can do first of all the battery is in short supply, and no one who is using it would be willing to give one to you.

WARNING this battery was produced a while ago, even if you get an new one, it's old because it was lying around a long time now (decreased capacity, phone turns off while still at about 20-40%) ---- And, the battery I described im this post was a fake one. Later I purchased a original one, but it had the same life in it like my old nexus 5 battery
I'm gonna open a new thread soon with an updated guide, and a new battery by another phone

I bought a new Lg g2 battery from Amazon because my sot was really short. You guys know the problem with those too fat batterys, so I ordered one that seemed to be flat.
I got a thick one seen here http://tanstartrade.ca/images/LG%20BL-T7.jpg
Okay, I thought, well then i don't have wireless charging ans NFC
But when i removed the layer on the battery, this is what i found: http://imgur.com/a/XJyJm
Cool I thought, that's just a piece of plastic that can be removed. My battery is now flat as it should be and you can do the same, if you still rock a Nexus 5, love this phone so much!

There are a lot of tutorials And i think you can buy every battery you want, search on Amazon. I just found out that every battery is flat.
Sorry, but I am confused... It seems two different mods exists: 1. LG G2 FLAT battery, no hacks needed. 2. LG G2 standard battery, hacks needed.
Could anyone please cast light on the 1. mod? I mean, where to purchase this kind of battery and so on.

That was my problem, i think the flat ones are fake. The thick ones have this plastic shield in in, by whatever reason. I managed to buy a flat one and it didn't work, the battery had very bad voltage, my phone turned off at 60%
The thick one is genuine i think. You just have to remove the sticker and plastic.
Thanks for the info @234herobrine432 . So you think that if I buy this battery I will only have to peel the "bump" and the sticker and it *should* fit in my Nexus 5?

Yes! I think, technically it's not even possible to build a battery with that weird increase. And the "not fake" batteries fit better in the nexus 5 than the flat one I bought. You don't even have to dremel something.
did you test dat? those are awesome news brother, does taht actually work? do you managed to remove that plastic?
do it for science please

I bought the battery today. So, in a month more or less I could provide some news about it. I feel confident cutting and soldering battery connectors but I don't plan to use a dremel on my loved nexus 5 Hopefully this battery plus some kernel optimizations would improve substantially battery life. Going from 2.300 to 3.000mAh should suppose +30% increase!!!

How did you fit the larger G2 battery without using a dremel on the N5 frame ?
The battery I've got is actually unusable on a Nexus 5, it's large the same, it's thicker but you can actually make it flat, but it's anyway longer so it won't fit the phone without hardware workarounds!!
You can folt the battery, so it will fit, but make sure you don't tear the thin foil (like me)
Yes i ****ed my battery up, it still works bc i used tape but it's not the best solution
I bought another battery on amazon for 13€
it will arrive maybe tomorrow (or later)
I will take pictures how i fold it and fit it into my device
If somebody wants to know: i had 4 hours of sot with heavy usage with the new battery, now it dropped to 2 because of the damage yeah liion doesn't like O²
Screenshots of the battery please !!
I just checked my "thick" one (bought by mistake before getting flat one), definitely not a plastic piece for my bump.
First off, it was super hard to get under the wrap, found out it was because mine didnt have an "extra" piece on top of the foil wrap for the battery, I had to open the foil itself to see the bump.
An exacto knife and, ofc, one spark later, I found the bump is actually layers of copper connected to the control board...
I feel yours was basically a flat battery with the plastic in to make it look like the non-flat ones.
Battery has a plastic easy to remove, as the post claimed. See the pictures at

Detaching external plastic the battery seems to be enough thin for the Nexus 5 case.
It had just arrived yesterday. I will try to do my best and talk about the length of the battery, my only concern right now.
I will keep posting.
Long life XDA!
People, please post pictures of your modding procedures !
Thanks !
Any updates on this mod, photos and measurements? id like to see how well the battery you had posted about works.
Sorry guys for my late answer!
I have to apologize, the battery I ordered was fake, at least I now think that. My new battery is a real Oem one, so, it's thick and theres no way to remove this thickness
So I lost wireless charging and Nfc, and my phone is close to flat at the back (still a bit round) but I didn't have to grind anything, the battery board sits on the side, not on the top or botton, gonna upload some photos later here.
My Sot increased a lot, i now get 5h easy with a lot of usage (pdf file editing) bc i'm using it in University.
and the sot gets better and better because of callibration
(resettimg the battery stats file isn't all, obviously that's only a log file)
so yeah, when you don't need wireless charging, buy a battery for our lovely nexus 5, this phone is awesome!
