[Q] N9776 advice - General Questions and Answers

Hi I have just puchased a N9776 - 6 inch MTK6577 Android 4.1.1 JELLY BEAN
I am please with the devise and have had no problems apart from a faulty sd card. I would like to do the following, so if anybody can advise I would be grateful.
1. Make this a rooted device.
2. Purchase a higher rated battery, this came with EB615268VU 3600mAh
3. A docking station that can sync and charge plus spare battery
Any help or advise is most welcome

for rooting your device, look into this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332783
the battery most likely has something around >1500 mAh, they are labeled wrong. e.g., the battery of my device should be original "Samsung EB615268VU (hmn, this will say sumthing to you i think ) with 3200 mAh. i mesured the capacity with my x-charger, it will load not more than 1600 mAh ( it will cut off automatically at around 1430 mAh).
you can get other batterys for your device, maybe original ones will work. you`ll need to check the size of your battery first. i cannot imagine that these will be the same size than the samsung ones. you can try docking stations for galaxy note 2, it is working for my device (Star N9770) you`ll need to check the size here, too.

Thank you

Thank you very much for the advice, I will have a look at the rooting link for sure. I thought it would be a note 2 dock that would be the closest so I will get one that has open ends so the width does not matter.
I have two other questions for you or anybody else who is willing to help, do any other phones use the same battery and is there a preferred usb cable as the N9776 seems to require a slightly longer micro usb connector.
Info on battery:
Li-ion Battery 3.7V
Standard: GB/T18287-2000
EB615268VU 3600mAh
S/N: KPDBB17GS/6-B
I cannot send the link to the replacement battery as I have not made enough posts yet.
Many thanks

like i mentioned in my post, i got the same one. not same capacity (wich is faked so doesn`t matter) but i can imagine that they have different sizes. these are mine:
l/w/h ca. 80mm/61,5mm/4,5mm. someone needs to check if the original samsung ones woukld fit, never tried it though. you can remove the plastic from the USB cable to fit it in or you can order one from china for your device. they are 2 $ or so, takes a while to get here though. the lenovo ones should work, but to be save i would recommend to order one for your device.

Replacement battery issues (phone loop rebooting)

As the title says, and much to my surprise a cheap replacement battery i bought on ebay (http://goo.gl/y4RML) for my Omnia 7 makes my phone reboot constantly when put to charger or USB. Works fine when not charging.
Just out of curiosity, what is the reason for this, other than battery being a cheap replacement?
On a side note, the original battery weights 4.7g more than the replacement, as measured by my perfectly working digital scale i bought on ebay.
BUMP
I just bought another one, same problem. So I'm calling it quits and buying an OEM battery.
Same problem, I try a non original battery and now when I try to charge my original battery my omnia reboot
Decided to sell my Omnia......although I liked Windows a lot, the battery does not charge very quickly, it will not charge above about 90% and I have tried 3 different batteries, 2 or 3 chargers etc. all with the same result. The phone needs either a software update or hardware mods.......Samsung get your finger out and fix this problem......
I also found it very difficult to get a genuine battery, had to buy a 3rd party battery which did not seem as good........
Bump... I also bought 2 cheap batteries for Omnia 7, and had the same problem, although it works ok, when you plug in the charger (or microUSB on PC), after 3-4 seconds the phone reboots. and then boots again, and instantly reboots...leading to an endless booting-rebooting loop. When you disconnect the cable, it's boots ok.
The batteries I got were marked 'Made in China' (made in Korea for the original). Also they had a (slightly) different P/N: EB504465VB (chinese) vs EB504465VU (original)
I have tried to charge the battery when the phone is in Download mode. It works, but I'm afraid that the constant image of the bootloader may burn in the Omnia7 AmoLED screen.
Has anyone found any decent source of replacement batteries for Omnia7 (apart from Mugen, that is very pricey)?
same battery problem, so i bought a charger dock

Does that dock charges only the battery? Can nyou provide a link, if you have bought it online? I have found some docks on ebay, but not for omnia7 specifically. They say the y are universal for almost all types of batteries. Do you have a universal one or a omnia7?
I bought this: cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190666195369#ht_4052wt_1134
p.s.: i can't post full link beacuse I'm under 8 post...
Grazie newfl, i found it.
The batteries that came with the dock charger had the same problem, right? What is their Part Number, EB504465VB 'or' EB504465VU?
Part Number is EB504465VB. Yes they have same issue
Have any of you noticed if the battery really is 1500mAh? The packaging says 850, which is ridiculous. Can you get through a day with 1hour calls, some IM, 2 hour music, 1 hour gaming, 1 hour reading an ebook, etc, the usuall?
I'll probably buy an original battery though, as i plan to keep this phone for at least a year more.
The ones I got are very identical to the original, and they say 5.55Whr / 1500 mAh. Their difference is the manufacurer country (original Korea, replacement China) and the last letter of their P/N (thing that might explain their incompatibility).
I didn't have the change to fully test the batteries, because of the aforementioned charging compatibility problem, but I expect my dock charger in any moment, and I will provide comparative results firstly on WPBench, then on real life.
So here it goes:
WP Bench Battery Test
==================
Settings: Airplane Mode: ON, GPS: ON (forgot it on so left it on for all tries), Brightness: LOW, Backgroung Agents: Disabled (through forcing Battery Saving Mode)
Replacement Battery: 1st:02h 40min 06sec, 2nd:02h 45min 08sec, 3rd: 02h 43min 43sec
Original Battery: 03h 41min 29sec
There is a big difference (original > replacement 34%) that I don't know if it is because of the low actual capacity of the replacement battery (despite its capacity is cited at 1500 mAh, the same as the original battery), or because of the not good charging of the dock charger (although the phone index in every case stated 100% when the freshly charged battery was inserted)

Have any of you guys tried this:

It's fake. There is no chance a company being able to squeeze that much power into a battery package the same size. Otherwise Samsung would have included a 2000mah+ battery already!

The gold brand battery capacity shouldn't be trusted. Like the post above me, there is no way you can cram a lot more mah with the same battery technology while having the same physical size as the original battery. At best you can have 10% more than the original, but from my experience, most of the original battery already maxed out their capacity for their size.

Larger Battery

I am tempted buy an 8x but the battery tests are a bit worrying. Is there any larger batteries and yes I understand this would mean taking the phone apart.
This is extremely unlikely. The device wasn't meant to have a replaceable battery, so even if you could find one that would fit how would you find a back door that did?
some companies make larger battery's but with the same physical size and Im sure the screen on the 8x pulls out like the lumia 800, the battery may even need soldering but even a hour extra usage would be worth it
I am coming from a galaxy s 2 and needed 2 batteries to get through every day.
with 8x so far I have had to be far more considered about ensuring I take every "topup" charge opportunity but so far haven't had a situation where I have had a dead phone.
I have just ordered one of those 5000ma/h power packs that have a USB out for charging devices and will report how that goes as an alternative.
the batteries from,third parties that report higher ma/h really don't offer much gains in my experiences...if you are somewhere with the wireless charging version then that seems like the best solution as you can make the most of every "top up" opportunity

[Q] Battery Replacement

Is it possible to replace a battery of an imitation tablet like "Meiying m10" or "Technaxx Techtab"
because my battery is dead and not charging. I'm planning to replace the battery with the ones
which Samsung Galaxy Tab uses. There's is A shop here in my country that replaces battery only
for Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Question Is. Is it possible to use Samsung Galaxy Tab Battery for
Tablet with Rockchip 2918 board.
Here's my tablet in the Message Attachment [meiying.jpg]
After all the output charger is the same both charger are equivalent 5v and 2000mah
Thanks
Good Luck
Good luck with that. Most tables aren't made to be taken apart by the end user. If you can get it apart without breaking it, and can see the battery, try to get a part number off it. If you can find a part number you could do some internet searches to try to find it. If you can't find it, just look for one with the same dimensions and the same mAh rating, or better (bigger mAh number). But not too much bigger. You're unit was made to charge a battery of a particular rating. If you go too big, you might have problems charging it.
Say it's a 3200 mAh battery in your table. If you find a 3200, 3400 or 3600 mAh that will fit into your table, those should work great. You might have problems charging a 4200 mAh or bigger battery.
YouTube usually has tutorial videos for disassembling devices but if you're not experienced with doing this, you could have a COMPLETELY useless device at your hands. I had an old WM8650 tablet with the same issue but I did not dare to take it apart because I knew I would screw it up. YouTube had videos showing the complete process. If you do have experience, go for it. I ended up only being able to use the WM8650 while it was hooked up to the AC adapter.

My tablet was open by a technician. So far it's not compatible for samsung galaxy tab battery. It's smaller compare to samsung's battery. It's 8.7khr and 3.7 volts. by converting it to mah. It's equivalent to 5000mah
thanks for the information

Thanks for the info the battery is 8.7kwr and 3.7v therefore it's equivalent to 5000mah.
It's hard to find that kind of battery so were trying to replace it. with the availability. It thinks smaller mAh is easier to find
Well thanks for your information
I appreciate your effort.
Thanks for all of your information
I'm glad I find an answer from different user for the specific question

well if you want to switch the battery, make sure the voltage is the same or it won't work.
It is generally not recommended to use a battery that is meant for a different device EVEN if the voltage is the same. It is better to get a replacement battery specifically made for your tablet

Technically speaking your right for most of the branded device must have a specific battery but not for this china made or the imation they do accept substitution.

[Q] VERIZON RETAIL USERS ONLY - Extended Batteries Question

I tried posting this in the Q/A section a couple of weeks ago,, with no luck. I thought I'd try here.
Please answer the question IF AND ONLY IF you are currently using the Verizon Retail Galaxy Note 4, SM-N910V, the one that is currently unrootable and has a locked bootloader. NOT the Developer Edition, where that particular bootloader IS unlocked and also this unit HAS been rooted.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I've read that people have been manually editing root files to get their Note 4's to correctly read the mA rating on extended batteries, or using apps that will calibrate your phone w/ your battery, and these apps require root access.
Have YOU, as a user of the Verizon RETAIL (NOT DE) Galaxy Note 4, tried using an extended battery, whether it be the 10,000 mA ZeroLemon Battery, the Hyperion 8,000 mA battery, or something else, and been successful in getting your device to correctly recognize the new battery capacity and does the percentage decrease correctly?
This is where I'm coming from. I'm on the Verizon Retail Note 4 and I have a ZeroLemon battery. It's still under warranty, but I'm about to send it back for a replacement. Basically, my phone would never recognize any different battery other than the stock size of 3220 mA. Not only that, the ZeroLemon would drain in percentage at the same rate of the stock battery, and stay at 1% for another 12 hours or so.
That said, I've heard people have had better luck with the Hyperion battery, in terms of getting the phone to recognize the battery, better, for whatever reason. What I DO NOT know, is if these are rooted and/or unlocked users of another carrier or not, or if the Hyperion battery is of better quality or of a different battery type.
Can someone comment on the issue, please?
No one has shown proof abd have had it duplicated that modding and file will show proper mah and correct battery life for zerolemon. Yes I have a note 4 from tmobile. And I have a hyperion that works perfect without any mod. The reason is hyperion is a single cell battery. Zerolemon is tricell. As per samsung tech not customer service. It will never read correct cause it does not drain equally. Will always give false reading.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Thank you for replying, and I do respect your opinion, even though you're a Tmobile user. Just a long shot, is there any knowledge of an app out there that can associate/calibrate the Note 4 with a TriCell battery, or would be able to help at all w/ the drainage %?
I have the anker 6400 MAH. I posted a review here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/review-anker-6400-mah-extended-battery-t3093619
you can see the battery both charge and discharge with the correct percentage drop, because it is not a tri-cell it is just a larger battery.
as far as i know the tri-cell will and has always done this. there is some discussion in the note 3 forum on it also.
there are claims that editing would help but I remain unconvinced.

It is a hardware issue. All the zerolemon is 3 battery poorly glued together with tiny wire to connect them all so only one battery makes a connection with the phones pins. So as that drains down it feeds of the other one and that feeds off the last one. It just a bad design. So no app will ever fix that.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Let me ask you something. Lets say you use an app, like Charging TIme, which tells you the mA of the battery at full capacity, there might be other apps that do the same thing, or there might be a way to find out in the stock settings, that I don't know how. Would your battery register at 6400 mah or 3220?

Here you go, both the stock and extended, no different in that app, however, you can see the graphs it works correctly.
