What does it mean if the battery top is dark/red when the original/normal should be white. I also have another slightly red with white.
Is it still in good health, or should i dispose it?

Those are water damage indicator stickers. They don't affect the performance of the device.
Guessing your stuff got wet or damp.

You're not alone, but I don't know what's going on in that thread because I'm not experiencing it.
Funny. I acctually looked at that thread but my xda premium crap app didn't display the picture so I thought it was about something else. Thanks for the link.

I also have a white note that did the same thing about 2 weeks after I got it. I just bought a bumper case and hope for the best

I have a blue and a white s3 at the moment before I decide what one to keep and I have noticed the blue one gets Alito hotter than the white one? could this be a problem or just because all phones are slightly different?

Darker coloured phones absorb more heat probably..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
so you could say it's drawing more heat away from the quad core thus being better for it? lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
well yes and no, it could also be worse as it will absorb heat from its surroundings and may conduct that back to the processor
And yes I do realise how silly this thread is
So better not buy a black one, it will frie your cpu :laugh:
It's not just internal heat that the dark colored phones are trapping, they trap ambient heat as well (e.g. Sunlight, lamps).

I'm just noticing this, I'm outside in the sun now and the blue one is defiantly warmer all over compared to the white. the battery is going to love that I bet
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I just checked the battery temp and the blue one is on 38c just from surfing the net is this actually normal?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
38° is nothing... i have easily 48° with the white s3 on 3g, same goes for other devices
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
When using it inside I can't feel any difference in temp...
Out in the sun I can understand the blue one will get hotter.

Does anyone know if you can out 7105 housing on vzw 605 and if that will open up wireless charging pins?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I was thinking of doing this. The back case is only like $20, so even if it doesn't work, you're not out a whole lotta money..
Yeah I agree ordered mine will find out when it gets here
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
If you're talking about the battery cover its not going to work unless you modify underneath. There is another thread around here of something doing the mod using a dremel

I just want the charging pins open for when a option is available

The 7100 allows wireless charging, correct? If removing 10 or so screws and swapping a back plate is all thats needed for wireless charging, I'll order one of these. Let us know how it goes.

That's pretty cool man, glad you decided to give this a try. But from the posts and videos I remember seeing there was a little more to it than just exposing the metal connectors. I'm not sure exactly. It was a long time ago and I never bothered to follow up on it cause I figured it was too much work for something I most certainly won't even be using in the near future. But I hope it works! If it really is as easy as just changing a piece of plastic I'm all over it, whether I end up using the feature or not.
Yeah I remember reading that people had to put a couple dabs of solder on the contacts to build them up in height. Without that, the contacts would be too low and they wouldn't touch the charging pad. We'll see what happens when xterra gets the part. :fingers-crossed:
It wont fit. I did the same. The housing is different in the area just above the battery

Bummer. I was really hoping this would work. I've read of people having success with it? Xterra, let us know what happens with yours.

Did anyone else see this? There was a mention of the S- pen and Galaxy. Didn't not say anything about the Note II. Could it be a tease for the Galaxy S4? Or possibly the next Note device? They have a very quick glimpse of it, it did not seem to be a tablet. Looked like a phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I also caught they never showed the phone or had a specific name for the phone.
It was a Note II.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The did show it. Front and back view, but it's only shown for a split second. The video is OK on you tube. I took a screen shot and zoomed in... It looks like it is just the Note 2. But I can't say with 100% certainty

The color was a light blue, so I guess they are gonna bring out new colors? And if you look closely, you can see a hinge on the right side as if it has a built in screen cover.

Yeah, I suppose your right. Just really odd that they avoided calling it a Note Ii. Only referencing the S- pen and " Galaxy"

saw this commercial two weeks ago posted on an apple site (they post anything samsung related these days just to have something to hate) .....I'm guessing it's the S4....they treat the note as a second class device 2 the S phones for some reason
I had a very weird problem!
After 3 months without any bug on my S3 I started to have very long GPS fix time (about 15 minutes) and some times non fixing issue...
I Tryed everything since change rom, give some punches, replace the battery, change kernels, etc...
Suddenly and by chance I figured out that the new case a friend gave to me was blocking the signal!!
What the hell!!!!
I have been using many kind of cases including thick rubber one and only this innocent and thin one caused it!!!
Hope it can help someone.

Nastiest aspect is, that when using the phone now against your head listening.
The radio waves are directed towards your head trying to escape!
This should be a health issue too. More of a reason to use the headset now
