Hi all looking to buy a second hand shield but it has the battery issue, Can i get a replacement battery or can I get the tablet replaced by Nvidia still?
#TIA
Depends on rather or not it was previously. I'd imagine so. If not, there are some others on the forum who discussed that a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (?) battery may work depending on dimensions.
For future reference, use a summarization of the question within the title before posting as it allows others to provide a more advanced answer based on their skill sets.

Hey,
Still wondering whether to get the dock but think its a decent idea as it will save me about 40-50 $ in the long run. Just wondering if the dock that comes with the Infinity as a whole unit (tab and dock) is in fact the Prime's one with the bigger battery or the Infinity's one?
Thanks,
Hurry up ASUS, this 6 week DOA assessment is really annoying me, I just want a refund!!
We have a two bigh threads already, why not ask there?
I think that is a fair suggestion - i see a large Dock thread in this forum, why don't you go ahead and re-ask there..
Hi everyone,
After my Samsung S2 suffered water damage, I now need to buy a new smartphone, and I had almost decided for the S3, which now costs only GBP40 less than the S2. Until I stumbled upon this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/S7189-MTK6589-Android-Smartphone-UNLOCKED/dp/B00BG8F9G0
I have no problem with the idea of owning an "unbranded" phone, but I'm just worried that it might later turn out to be of substantially lower quality than the original. A colleague of mine owns a previous model of this Star phone (N7100), and he's been happy with it for the past year or so. After playing around with his phone a bit, it seemed fine to me, however I didn't get to test it in more detail (e.g. compare image quality of camera output with that from the S2, or see how stable the GPS fix is).
I'd have really liked to read a proper review for it (with benchmarks etc), or at least see a believable amount of user ratings. The Amazon product page has some good user reviews, but only 22 of them, and you can't really find much information about this model (or about the Star make in general) on the Internet.
What do you guys think? Is there reason to believe this phone would perform (visibly/audibly) worse than its closest Samsung equivalent, or that its life expectency would be shorter? Many thanks in advance for any help, I really appreciate it!

Please use one of ^^^^^these^^^^^^ threads. Otherwise the General forum would be full of these kinds of threads. One important difference that is independent of build quality is that branded phones have better OEM support and there is likely to be a lot more development on a branded device.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if you've ever seen my work over on the Epic4G forums or not. But whether you have or not is irrelevant.
I come to you guys (and gals) to see if you are interested in me reviewing any of your batteries (preferably new ones, as old ones obviously have cell deterioration), I don't personally own an S4 but I do have a multi charger (or could buy one) that I think will fit the batteries in (or if I not I can use my dad's S4 to charge whatever I'm looking at).
I figured I'd offer up my services on a phone that's a little more relevant (and also because XDA still won't add a Stratosphere II forum ).
Thank you for reading!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to accurately test case extended batts unless there's an easy way to reach the contacts too
Hi XDA, I have been browsing though the posts here for a few days now, and eventually decided to ask for advice. There is way too much content for me to cover on my own.
I'm planning on getting a high-end tablet, which will mostly be used for gaming&reading, as an "extra screen" for when I am working/coding on my laptop, and want to have some extra help/tutorials/breaks without having to switch windows, for delivering presentations and taking notes, and as remote desktop to run scripts. I used to game a lot, but now, due to the lack of time and room, I only play on my PS Vita, so looking forward to my favourite games (like Baldur's Gate) on a tab. Which screen ratio works best for games?
The tablets I am considering: Galaxy Tab S (8 or 10), S2 (8 or 10), Sony Xperias (Z2/4 and Z3). Whichever I get, it will be a significant spending, so I am trying to figure out which of the tablets have the best customer support and the fewest potential/reported issues, on average (well, S2 is probably not the best one to mention here as it is not widely available yet). Also, the longest realistic battery life would be great, I got my laptop for its ~20h battery life and now I am spoiled : ( Oh, and I will probably end up rooting the device, just most likely not during the first few weeks of use, as that will also be my first : D
I pick my laptops based on type and number of issues users report on fora, and how those are handled, and it always worked great. However, this will be my first tablet, so I do not know to evaluate tablet-related issues.
Any help from experienced users would be greatly appreciated : )

hey guys, I'm in the market for a quality android TV device and have never really looked into them before. seemingly/surprisingly no one has asked this before in this forum so I humbly ask, which ones make the cut and also are there any to avoid?
I plan on getting one for someone as a gift for Christmas so for me this is kind of urgent. I have found similar articles that can answer this on Google but I fully intend on rooting so while I may compromise on the ease of or availability of rooting, I'd prefer not to get one that is a locked up Kremlin and will still weigh in all options.
I am most impressed with GeekBox so far which appears to be brand new on the market and as such, lacks meritable reviews. there is one a couple clicks away from this thread but it is oriented on specs and I am gravely concerned about it's ability to keep cool -- it's small size and internals suggest there is no active cooling system which leads to me believe it'll manage heat by throttling. I am no expert on android TV devices but it is abundantly clear fans are the market standard and totally necessary (especially with 4k)
I value no opinions greater than those of us here on XDA, the rooting authority.
Hi,
Your question is so extensive, there are too many boxes on the market, that can be acceptable for your conditions(4k, heatsinking)
So you should find more addtional settings for box: form-factor, OS, brand named or OEM, price and etc.
