[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
Yea I wish I had known how to tell if this battery is fake (which is probably is.. because it got really hot when I used Antutu< maybe you can perform an antutu test and tell me if yours get hot too?:laugh:)

*Can you maybe link me a genuine S5830 battery seller on eBay or online store that sells internationally?(If you know ofcourse about genuine sellers on eBay/other online stores )

or maybe you can tell me how is this "Powercell" battery I saw for the S5830?is it a good company? or it's dangerous to use non-samsung batteryhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/PolarCell-Akku-Samsung-Galaxy-Ace-Gio-EB494358VU-GT-S5830-GT-S5660-Accu-/370602359890?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Akkus&hash=item56499f3c52

I have last question for today! ( next time I will wait a few hours and make a full list of questions cuz you answer too fast :laugh:)

I have downloaded many roms/mods/kernels now and they have long complicated names like CM[..]1032434... and stuff like that, so can I change the names of the zip file like.. for "ROM_Number_1" so that I can tell which rom is which so I won't flash a wrong thing? or the file name must remain and it's important for the flashing procedure?

Thanks !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Millenium3:
Well for Ace S5830, the original "battery code" is EB494358VU... so most of those Samsung batteries with that code (not by other companies) should be the genuine one. But there may be compatible third-party batteries like those you have and I don't think Polarcell is a chinese company (it seems to be german?). There's always the risk when using non-genuine batteries and most probably, no warranty for you anymore when using that battery.

Any strange behavior, you should replace it to the original genuine one.

Sure, you can change the name of the zip file.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
Yes Polarcell seems to be german , that's why I trust it ;) and we'll the battery I have has the same code as you wrote, but can't they just print a code on a fake battery?:p How about heating, does your battery get hot sometimes?(like mine on Antutu-did you try? :P) (I'm afraid after all these stories of exploding batteries/ people being killed because of their phones exploding)

Btw, someone told me that I can calibrate the battery in a different way : to delete battery stats through recovery, is it doing same thing as what you told me? if yes I'd like to try that instead because it's faster :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
Deleting those stats happens at every boot, and it won't do anything.

And those stories mostly happen with iPhones because it's easier to get money from Apple.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
Thanks (no more thanks for me to give today !!:laugh: i'll come tomorrow )

I have probably the last question for today :laugh: (I have many questions because I'm just beginning with these flashing N stuff)

I saw in many threads here something like "int2ext" script and it's somehow related to App2sd app.

I was sure that I can use App2sd anytime as long as I'm rooted, but then I saw that you must have "int2ext" script or something like that?

and currently I flashed a rom that does not have this "int2ext", and my internal memory is low, so .. I can't use App2sd to transfer files from phone memory to SD card?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
Int2ext scripts make your phone treat the second partition on your SD as if it were internal memory.

Apps2sd scripts use this partition to write app data.

Both utility an extra partition you'll have to make. So no SD functions are lost. File transfer is always an option, just system files are restricted.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
Oh, so App2sd is also a script, and not to be confused with the name of the App in the Playstore "app2sd"?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
The app simply installs the script.

I have no idea about hardware stuff. Good luck with that.

Hello Guys !!

Im Samsung galaxy ace(GT-S5830) user,Now I

gained enough Courage to Root this phone. So

now im a Rooting Noob. Need you support and

help from this Forum Experts . Since some of

the posts and ideas were old about one year or

atleast 10-8 months old. So now there can be

some new ideas to those old question

List of Queries :

1. shall I use Factory Reset option in Setting to

Reset ? Lastime I reset using this method, that

caused BootLoop.

2. SGA has stock ROM( GingerBread 2.3.6)

2a) I found many ROMs such as Jelly Bread,

Jelly Blast ( It has base as GingerBread, But UI

looks like Jelly Bean) whether these ROMs has

limitations ? Is there any limitations, Like SGA

should have CM 7.2 to do that or I can blindly

carry out .

2b) How to install CM 7.2 using CWM 5.x ? or

Should I update my CWM to some other

version and How to update it ? { while

updating thru play store I got a pop-up “SU

binary need to be installed” it had two options

CWM/TWM and Normal Mode }

3. If anything goes while flashing custom ROM

How to bring back to previous stock ROM ?

Will taking backup in CWM and restore that

backup helps Or Have to flash via Odin

4. Windows 8 says Usb not recognized; In

device it show as “Samsung Usb composite

Device”. But Odin not detects while SGA in

downloading mode for flashing

5. Kernels, Baseband and Networking

standards : How to select these things ? Special

Attention required

6. Pureperformance script is there, Shall i use that Gingerbread Rom. ? Any special attention required while Flashing it in 2.3.6 . How to do that mounts and umounts very much Confused.

Kindly Help me.. Thanks for reading.

Okay Here is the scenario

I tried to install a custom ROM and messed up, and now I cannot access recovery mode but can access download mode. So I tried to flash the stock ROM using Odin but when I connected the phone to the computer, an error comes up saying "USB device not recognized". I have tried numerous drivers without getting results, I tried on different computers, I tried using different USB cables, but no results. I also tried this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073233 - but it didn't help.

If it helps I was able to transfer data using the USB cables, but in download mode says "USB device not recognized"

When I pressing to power on, it staying to bootloader with black screen and SAMSUNG word. And doesn't open recovery mode, but RAMDUMP MODE, EMERGENCY MODE or DOWNLOAD MODE does open. But when I connect that phone to computer with download mode and USB cable, that charging but computer giving error "USB device not recognized.". But I was install samsung usb drivers from official website. And when I open the odin, odin is com ports doesn't recognizing that phone.

(USB cable is robust. Computer OS is Win 10. Phone is usb socket robust.)

Hello

Thought I had it all sussed but panicked at the last hurdle. Rooted phone, and started Rom manager and like many other people Galaxy Ace wasn't on my list either. In desperation linked up to Kies and got upgraded to Gingerbread. At least phone isn't dead! YET!

Followed the links to ROM Manager website and downloaded "recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.9-galaxyace.img"

Here comes the Noob part.... how do I use it? In layman's terms please. Still not quite sure about the definition of "flashing"

After upgrade to Gingerbread my numbers changed too...Android 2.3.4 - Baseband S5380BVKQA - Kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-CL562323root@DELL126#1

What should I do? Ideally would like to go Cyanogen (heard the hype) but am open to trying any new custom ROM

You claim Rom Manager is working.

Downloaded and installed - it asked to install clockwordmod - I already had 4.0.0.9 installed - it showed the list and ace was not listed.

Went to website - downloaded the apk and installed - same issue - noticed the 4.0.0.9 link for the ace.

downloaded chainfire CWM manager and installed that - worked a charm - allow backup and restore, installing apk and flashing kernal.

Point is I want to buy the premium Rom Manager so that the developer gets some money for his work - but I not paying for something that does not work.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danes1977:
Right... Did a lot of Googling today with various outcomes. Frankly way too scary for a noob like me to contemplate and one even suggested opening up a Linux prompt command box! I don't think so!

The recovery image is still on my desktop. Still not sure what to do with it and unless your good self or someone else knows what to do with the damn thing there it will stay. I'm still not 100% comfortable with the prospect of getting it wrong.

However I did manage to download ClockworkModAce.zip (hoorah!) and copy and paste that from my desktop straight onto my sdcard. Turn off phone blah blah Home+Power blah blah - you get the idea. That part was smooth sailing.

I thought that this would solve the mystery of the Galaxy Ace missing from the Handset list on Rom Manager but alas I was wrong. At this point in time my phone is still rooted, and I can't choose a Rom.

I have thought about getting a new kernel from samfirmware - I've seen KPH pop up a few times in various posts - would that be worth a shot?

Once again, my current configuration; Gingerbread 2.3.4

Baseband - S5380BVKQA

Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-perf-CL562323root@DELL126#1 ... and yes obvously these numbers mean nothing to me!

Hi, first of all I'm indeed a noob, let that be clear :D

Since a week or so I'm the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Ace, and a few days ago I've installed CyanogenMod 7.1.

It looks great and works almost perfect, sometimes it crashes and shuts the app down, but besides that it literally eats my battery!

When in standby there is no problem, but when I use any app or play a game the battery meter starts rapidly counting down. Streaming videos is the most worst, streaming a video of 1 minute uses something like 1 percent of the battery life. This may not sound a lot, but a video of 10 minutes takes almost 10 percent.

I was wondering if this is normal? That the battery isn't super I already noticed, but when I was using the normal "stock" rom is wasn't this bad.

Now is my question, reinstall the stock rom? What is the easiest way to go back to "factory settings"?

Thanks!

(edit: Oh I forgot to mention what my stock rom was, I think it was 2.3.5 Gingerbread, if I'm not wrong)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
CM7 shouldn't be consuming so much battery .

Maybe you never tried calibrating your battery:

1) Download BatteryCalibration from the Market

2) Follow in-app instructions

3) Let the phone drain to emptiness and then charge it all the way to 100%

4) Done !

Other tips for saving battery:

-Lower your brightness

-Change the CPU Governor from Ondemand to Conservative

-The smartass governor saves a lot of batt when locked , but sacrifices sound when listening to music . (Music is very choppy)

-Try to put the phone in silent/vibrate mode most of the time

-Alternatively , try less intensive games like Dragon, Fly which consumes less battery but is still kind of fun (at least to me)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yamtar:
Thanks!

Yes I hadn't calibrated the battery, now I did, but it looks the same. I think it's a software bug or something (?).

Later I charged the battery, then unplugged it at 100%, within 1 minute it went back to 88%, got stuck at that level for a while, and then lowered to something like 70% at once, then to 40, 20 etc. Finally to 15% and stayed there for a very long time. So I think it can't calculate the battery power properly.

And when I started the BatteryCalibration app it said "current charge: 100&, 4mV". Just 4mV??? This seems not right too, I think.

Btw, what is "compcache ram usage"? Does it affect battery usage?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danes1977:
EmoBoiix3 just out of curiosity... Or anyone for that matter...

Did you pay to have someone unlock your Galaxy Ace or did you do it yourself? I seem to be finding out the hard way that you cannot have an unlock code sent to you for this particular make and model. It has to physically be unlocked by USB.

I'm guessing that none of the "do it yourself unlock" threads I've read in the forums are 100% safe.
