hey guys, any one thought about popping the back of there nexus 7 and making a Heatsink for the cpu, i know it wont be "sleek", but im thinking more of a stable temp with oc at 1.8gz, 600hmz GPU?,
if not what are your thoughts on this?
thanks amatis

I think fitting a back cover suitable and stable enough to make this worthwhile will be very difficult, specially if you plan on handling the tablet a lot, this would only drain your battery very fast if you are able to reconstruct a back cover that would fit snugly without exposing the internals, if I were you I would stick to running it safely at 1.6-1.7Ghz and rather wait for more powerful tablets to be released to suit your needs if you are unhappy with the nexus.
Get a H100i Or a Hyper 212 EVO Cooler, Im sure it will get to about 2.3GHz before it explodes.
Walk around with LN2 canisters in your backpack, spraying it constantly will get you 4.5Ghz+ if the circuitry can support the voltage!
Can we overclock ram on android platform?
On a serious note, look into the fan types the MacBookAir uses, as they are flat and deploy a spiral exhaust so with a few mm thicker cover with a few inlet holes and an exhaust slit, this could be possible!

That would be awesome, he would just need someone to manufacture a new back cover, still would be pretty nice having a quad core 2.0Ghz tablet if the cooling was super efficient and the voltage was enough to keep it stable.

hmm im thinking about Buying a white back replacement, and i could cut a bit out of that, and use fiberglass to make it smooth ish.
but the problem is, this.

i has also watched a youtube vid, and it seams that there are sticker cable things attached? so im not sure how i would get around that,
powering it should be easy, just hook it up to the battery, or even add another battery "slim" and making a switch for it, the thickness of it should not be much of a problem, as if you had it in a case it would be about the same, Depening on what the case was,

Good evening you good people of XDA land! :highfive:
I am looking for a new phone to replace my now very broken and almost dead iPhone 6 plus for a S7 Edge. When I get the new handset I will need a new case for it, but here is my dilemma! what case to go for?
I have read a lot of reviews that say the battery live isn't as good as other handsets win this size, so I'm not sure as weather to try a batter case. I've never used one and I'm a bit concerned that it will add too much bulk to the handset or worst case damage it in some way. for my old Iphone I had a Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal Cover Case and really like it but felt that the metal in places was very thin, and eventually it did break. I was thinking of getting the same for the S7 and getting an external battery charger thing.
I would be grateful for any advise and opinions form you chaps and chapets!

I'm now using led cover, and work really well, but I don't recommend it for you... because it will open and let your phone face down when fall..... And an battery case can work well and more useful... because my S7E won't last whole day gaming...... ,start at 10 AM and battery dead at 9 PM(which is very good, but not enough for me D so get battery case if you need do fit or game..... if not get other case...... you can last one day without charge if you don't game....
Used since October and no once fall.(sorry if my English not so good)

I do a bit of gaming, but not massive amounts and not really anything to intense. FM16 was as far a I went in my iPhone.

I have the UAG, Spigen Neo Hybrid, Poetic Affinity, and Tech21 Evo frame and so far the Tech21 is my favorite. I do really like the other case and the UAG is my second favorite but it is just a little too busy on back for my taste. All the cases I named are very good though. Hope this helps

1) $100 discount
2) It still has a headphone jack
3) It still has the fingerprint scanner on the front, where it belongs.
4) If required, there is a working root solution today. There are no guarantees an engineering root (or any root) will ever work on the S8.

This, 9 days away from revealing, for sale just after.
1. I'd pay $100 to have such a big difference. It's not like an iPhone that's virtually the same every year.
2.S8 has a headphone jack. Again, it's not an iPhone
3.Finger scanner on back isn't bad. Think about where you place your fingers on back when holding. It's not unergonomic. Plus, bigger screen so...
4. What is root really worth anymore? It's NOTHING like it used to be unless you want broken apps and $hit battery life

Thanks Joe, I've been bouncing back on forth on whether to root - mainly out of nostalgia for the fun of ROM swapping and eaking out more life from the phone.
But you've helped convince me there's very little I miss about rooting, nothing that isn't outweighed by stability.

I used to root/jailbreak EVERYTHING. I wouldn't buy a phone I couldn't root. I even still have a Note tablet running a CM Nougat. I wouldn't get a phone I couldn't root, I've built several stable af and reputable ROMs. Now days, especially with Package Disabler I haven't rooted in a long time. Xposed, everything is so problematic. Root cloaks don't hide root from most apps, and MANY apps are broken or simply state they won't work with root. Not to mention you run a kernel meant to be flashed, the phones problem fixed, then flashed stock. It's NOT for daily use. Instability, excessive battery drain, there's nothing enticing about root anymore.

It's a cost cutting exercise. I need a new phone and I want one that is as up to date as possible. I've got a iPhone 6 Plus but to upgrade to the 7 plus will set me back around £100 upfront and then £30-40 more a month than the s7.
I'm going to guess that the s8 will cost the same!

IMO, your best bet is to invest in wireless charging and not worry so much about battery. I have a dock for work and one for home. When I'm not using it, it's on the dock charging. Really changes how you use it over time. Case is really a personal choice. I'm happy as can be with Spigen Rugged Armor. Doesn't affect wireless rapid charge at all.
On another note, play with one at the store. The edge can be kind of frustrating. Case reduces ghost touches, but it's still there. There are also other little annoying things like the placement of the attachment button in messages. I use that several times a day, and it is annoyingly right on that edge. If you watch a lot of video tho, it really looks great on this screen.

I'm not sure wireless will work for me at work as I don't have anywhere other than my pocket to leave the phone!
That's one reason why I was lookin at battery cases. I'm having trouble picking a case as I can really tell from pics online what they are like. And I'm not sure if any local shops have a decent range of cases to browse!

Right on. I'd grab the phone first, see how it meets your needs. Accessories don't resell well, if at all. Power banks are cheap enough, altho I'll skip. I'd rather have an ugly case than 2 bricks tethered together. Good luck with your purchases.
ETA:
If you use power save mode on these, you can literally get days of use from a charge. With everything set to performance, I still get through a full day on it.

If you're leaving your phone in your pocket, then (depending on how tight your pockets are) you really have a choice between a case or a power bank. Personally I'd choose a bank because you can charge anything with it and they're insanely cheaper (US $15 vs. US$85 for a charging case). If you do get a case, I'd recommend spending a little extra (especially if you're getting the S7 on sale) and getting one from a solid company with a good manufacturer's warranty so that, if it breaks, you can get it fixed.
Another reason to get the S7E is that is still uses MicroUSB and not USB-C, so it'll be easier getting accessories for it.

I'm really considering a power bank. I have a Microsoft surface 3 that I can't plug in anywhere at college so could do with having something for that. Any suggestions on what power bank to look at?

If you're getting an S7 Edge, which i don't recommend, please don't get it through sprint. This phone is so packed with bs and everything else wrong with it, go to verizon if you still want this phone.

eh dont deal with any carrier - tmo seems to be the least intrusive
if you really want it - get the 935F (exanos, international version). you'll get the latest updates from samsung and then also have the capability to load ROMs, etc if you want to. battery lasts longer too.
I just posted a video.. My thoughts on the AOCHUAN gimbal how well does it work on the note 20 ultra I would love your feedMod Edit
I don't think the gimbals are needed at all. Especially in my case - I used to case covers, so no gimbals/pods can work with the cased phone, so I need to bring the phone every time and install into gimbal. Also they take a lot of space and you obviously have to take it while leaving home etc.
I guess the proper solution will be either gopro (better) or dji pocket.

Thanks I sold the gimbal
I sold my gimbal
I use DJI4.
There is a magnetic sticker. This works when you have a case.
However, I just use the naked device with it.
I wish Gimbals have an option to integrate with the default camera.
The camera app that comes with the Gimbal app is very limited.
ZeroLemon is know to be the top dog when it comes to battery cases and this time it's no different. The S21 Ultra already packs a whopping 5,000 mAh battery and this case brings another amazing 8,000 mAh. I cannot wait to go on vacation with this beast, It will make my traveling and exploring experience that much better.
The case is about 1" thick on the bottom end so yes it does add a quite a bit of girth but the peace of mind of not having to worry about being next to a charging outlet makes the size well worth it.The case let's you also still use Android Auto which is a major plus to me. My car does have Android Auto so this is a much welcomed addition.
All you have to do is hold down the button on the back of the case for 3 seconds to turn on and off the case to charge your S21 Ultra. The case also has raised corners to help with drop protection. I think if you were to add a glass screen protector to your S21 Ultra then this would be a completely drop proof case. The camera cutout is precise and really shows off the beautiful design of the phone.
Overall I would definitely recommend the ZeroLemon 8,000 mAh battery case if you are in the market for some extra juice on those long days or vacations!
What's the weight and can you show a pic of the phone wearing it?

The case weighs 8.4 ounces.
What they should've done is make a normal case with a magnetically attaching battery which has pins at the bottom to transfer the power (no wireless charging bull****) that way it'll be a normal case and when needed and will charge the phone when required!

Hi all,
I tried the Razer Kishi controller on the S21U, and it works, and better with a small surgery on one of the sides (for the camera hump).
I still think it's at the limit and probably could be better, but good enough.
It really is great to use for games that really can take advantage of it, and also Steam Link.
The accessory is well made, the shoulder buttons a little mushy but still, does the job well
Ah I was just looking at this the other day. As I was unsure whether it would fit I ended up going with a clip for my xbox controller. Now I might order a Kishi though! How do you like the build quality?
In the UK, EE actually offered these as a part of a deal when signing up for the S21 Ultra. I've not tried it on my Ultra yet but as @kipue says its a tight fit. I have tried my Huawei P30 Pro in it and thats a good fit.

Build quality is overall good.
It feels solid and well designed. As I mentioned, some buttons are a little too soft, no real feedback on press but it is OK.
Nice device, but if you would like to get it for a specific game, make sure to check that it supports controller properly first, that's my advice
Looking at some alternatives, the Gamesir x2 looks pretty good. Anyone know if the s21 ultra will fit?
Did you have to remove the rubber insert?

Nope. To be more comfortable, I cut a little piece of it on the side of the camera module. Not strictly necessary though.
I'll make a picture for you when I get back home.
So here is the little modification I did.
Basically made the part circled a little deeper so the camera module slots in better.
It's then very snug and everything is level. The plastic is surprisingly soft so it's easy with a simple pair of scissors.
The more I use the thing, the more I really like it!
