I've had this phone since it came out and Ive rebooted it maybe 2 times and I've never had this bug. I'm constantly getting 5 hours or more screen on time and my battery lasts around 25 hours. Awesome battery. Android os never goes above 20% or so.

This could be tied to an app that is commonly used by lots of people, that you aren't using.

One of the first things that I (and many others) did is install apps that we used on our other phones, for example

Handcent for text messaging... very popular.

Yahoo mail app.

Facebook app (nicer widget).

Lots of people have things like these, and you may not.

It may not even be a particular app, but something common to many apps, in the way they are coded, or a control that they all use. The bug may be more general, and you don't happen to use those things.

It's equally helpful to know what phones DON'T have this bug, to identify what's NOT on, or configured, on them, as it is to identify what's common to phones that have this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SimplyWess:
I thought I was the only one experiencing this.. Its happen to me twice after rebooting my phone.. I've seen my phone drop 40% after one reboot.. That's insane.. If it happens again I'll be sure to post some pics.. Removing the battery and booting up seems to help some..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
I'm having really bad battery issues as well. Can't make it past a whole work shift without it dying. I haven't even use the phone at all at work and already less than 40% and still hours to go before I get home.

WtF is this Android OS thing anyway? Even the NS4G I ran away from due to crappy battery was not this bad at all.

There's always got to be something with Samsung phones, never a near complete experience.

I will say when I put on wireless tether my battery life tanked. 18 hours with a live wall paper and now barely 8 with a dark background.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dvin211:
I get great battery life out of my phone. My phone is stock. I'm using the live weather wall paper, live weather widget and the newsfeed widget all with update set for every 3hrs.

I have use wireless networks enabled for location. As far as apps I use zedge, facebook, speed test, pandora and qrdroid. With facebook I log out when I'm not using it.

What I would suggest is use kies and back everything up then format your internal memory and do a factory data reset.

After that's done charge your phone to full and don't download any apps. Wait 8hrs and see what your batt is like. If it's decent trying downloading one of your old apps then wait 8hrs and see if your batt tanks. I would keep doing that till all your apps are back on the phone.

If your battery life is bad right after the memory wipe/factory reset I would just return your phone and hope for a good one. If its good till you start reinstalling your apps narrow it down and post it.

Hello.

Device (Nexus s) began making noises during a call, kind of like really loud knocking.

At first I thought something was wrong with the apraxia, but when I plugged in the headset only the noises there were on the right side and on the left side there was not noises.

It is important to note that I have full reception and Sim supports 3G.

Then when I turned the conversation there were not to speaker noises.

Hi

Just wondering if any folks can help with obtaining the stock firmware for Samsung Galaxy S551 on Bell Canada network

The firmware version is I5510UGKC5

Unfortunately my Android Market keeps force closing.. I tried to restore the phone using Menu - Privacy - restore phone (no luck) and a hard reset back to factory defaults (Recovery Boot Menu) - no luck.

Only options need to get I5510UGKC5 stock firmware and CSC for Bell and try to flash it...

Any help would be awesomely appreciated tonight.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nomisseugrof:
I have the same problem here in province of Quebec (Canada) and can't find the original firmware me neither. If anyone can help me please. Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nomisseugrof:
What's that?

I tried to call Samsung support center yesterday evening and I asked them where I can find the original firmware for canadian and american Galaxy I5510.

Can you imagine, even their employees can't find the firmware in the samsung's database. That's a joke or what? I guess that the customers in in North America are nothing for them. All the firmware I found are for Asia and Europe. And not only in forum or somewhere else. In their own canadian website.

Anyway. I bought that phone in june and since then I always got problem with. Problem installing apps with the Market, screen unlocking trouble, lack of memory and more.

That was my second and last Samsung phone. HTC here I come. This afternoon.

[HTC EVO 3D] st0921:
Open up the hosts file in /system/etc/ look for the friendcaster url, delete that line, save, check the permission just in case, then reboot. Don't update the host file after that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
i use it and have no problem with friendcaster...
[HTC EVO 3D] JultechKC:
Hosts file

You might want to back up the version of the hosts file that you like [i.e. does not block friendcaster ads but blocks everything else] because AdFree will try to download and install new versions of the host file based on new hosts they have decided to block. In theory I guess you could just install the add blocker for Firefox on your computer, add an exception for the friendcaster url(s), and just keep let that plug in keep updating from time to time with new blocked hosts. Then periodically, just copy the hosts file from your computer to your phone (assuming you have root) to the necessary system location.

ad free friendcaster

can't stop the ads on friendcaster with ad free. i have a rooted gingervolt v1.3 lg revolution
[HTC EVO 3D] mkhopper:
Just as well.

<start minor rant> I'm against the whole concept of ad blocking on Android devices anyway because doing so just takes money away from the good developers creating the apps you've installed.

It's a toss up. Do you want to see a few minor ads or start paying for every app you download? Are the banner ads really so intrusive that you just can't stand them for the few seconds or minutes the app is being used? </end rant>
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
I haven't liked adfree in a while. Heard they started selling out :/ Give ad away a try free in the market. Not sure if it works for friendcaster but worth a shot.

And mkhopper, I definitely see what you're saying :D

Undervolting and profiles.

I have tried a crap ton of different undervolting setting, but none work:(

Also the profiles in set cpu don't seem to work for me. I have a few of them set and it always sits on the top one:( I need some guidence with both please!:)

Another thing my xda premium app isn't pushing my notafications:( yes its set
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack_slapped:
Undervolting is a delicate process. It takes time to find the max undervolt that is stable. With that being said, try undervolting everything by the lowest amount which is -25mv. Check to see if that is stable. If so proceed to go further. Remember lower freq will typically undervolt farther than higher frequencies.

As far as profiles go your probably not using the priority values right. The higher priority is what determines which profile setcpu uses. So for instance if you want a safeguard against overheating, you could set the profile for when the cpu goes above 55C to throttle the processor way down. If you set this profile to 100(max) it will overide all other profiles at 98, 99, 75, 50...etc. Also this may be obvious to some but be sure to tick(enable) the profiles button. If thats not ticked then it doesnt matter how many profiles you have set up. It simply wont use them.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smittyzz:
When I was on alien rom, I tried 25 on all and it restarted after like a minute. What worked for me was 25 25,50,50,75,75,100 fromm bottom to top. I tried it with cm7 and total no go lol

Lemme tryi 25 on all and see what I get:) and I didn't know that. They all werent working, so I set them all to 100 lmao, I understand that now:D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smittyzz:
Aparently its been running 125,125,50,75,75,75,75bottom to top cm7 with 1.3 kernel.

It did restart a couple min ago randomly. Will keep posted:)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack_slapped:
Glad your getting some results. If it restarts even once it means at least one of your undervolted freq isn't stable. With your settings I would wager its in the uper freq considering your undervolt in the lower freq isn't too extreme. You might try decreasing the undervolt for your upper freq to -50 -50 -50 starting at the top. Might help to stabilize bc higher freq just require more voltage. If that proves to be stable continue trying to reduce the lower freq as much as possible. Mainly bc if you set your profiles right(screen off is the most important really) your phone will spend the majority of its time on the 200mhz freq. Thus the more undervolt on that freq should theoretically give the most benefit from undervolting. This is just all from personal experience. I'm no guru. Just spent way too much time adjusting voltages on phones :D. And of course having the upper freq undervolted as much as possible cant hurt either.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
First off, regarding SetCpu and over / undercloking, dev has said it'll only underclock/overclock ONE core at a time. It's a bug and he's working on it from what I understand. If both cores are needed to be in use at the same time, no over / underclocking will be applied. Secondly, profiles work as they should in SetCpu, so that's a problem on your end. Third, the undervolting can't be more than 100mv differnce between jumps. See screen shot.

http://www.multiupload.com/YUK0KPXZLJ
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smittyzz:
I understand the 100 thing and I got the undervolting and profiles done. I hope he gets both cores supported soon:) and thank you dmfor the reply
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack_slapped:
Yea Im skeptical about not setcpu not having support for dual cores... Did some searching on the net and couldnt find anything to support that. As far as not the tegra 2 not being able to do over 100mv jumps. That's not true. My lowest frequency is 600mv (-150) and my next frequency is at 750mv. That's a 150mv difference right there... And I'm completely stable. Its entirely dependent on your processor. They are all different and respond differently to undervolting. You just have to find what works for you. Generally though the lesser the jumps in voltage will give you more stability.

[Motorola Droid 3] :
So I'm a bit of genius and decided I'd try to fully fix my 99% functional phone and have now made it so it won't boot into home screen... I believe I corrupted blur-services.apk and/or blurcontacts.apk, so I get greeted with a series of crash screens. :eek:

What I did? I copied over some Bell XT860 system files (including blur-services.apk) from a system dump in Root Explorer, which caused a crash in the middle of copying. After rebooting the phone, it won't properly go into home screen. I tried a system recovery with no luck, oops. :mad:

So I'm hoping/assuming that copying over blur-services.apk properly through ADB might solve the issue, but I can't get into ADB on my phone. I've tried using bp-tools & psouza's tool for temp ADB rooting, with no luck -- it won't pickup the connection, even though my phone's storage is available on my computer and clearly connects. Granted, I might be missing a step somewhere...

If someone could guide me into getting into ADB, I can push the blur-services files properly and hopefully regain control over my phone again... :D

I must say... if I can get this phone operational again, I will stop messing with it!

Two issues...

1) I could use a non-corrupted copy of each of these files [along with their respective odex files]...

2) I can't get into ADB on my phone. I've tried using bp-tools & psouza's tool for temp ADB rooting, with no luck -- it won't pickup the connection, even though my phone's storage is available on my computer and clearly connects.

I must say... if I can get this phone operational again, I will stop messing with it!
[Motorola Droid 3] :
Update:

Luckily for me, I was still able to access my gmail and launched Android Market from there. This allowed me to download Go Launcher, GO Contacts, etc. and at least restore functioning to my phone. Most importantly, this enabled me to check off USB debugging (which I lost when I foolishly reset my phone).

So now I've got a semi-functional phone that gives me error messages at least every 30 seconds about one of the .com applications closing.

However, there is hope that I can get her fully functional since I can now obtain ADB access!

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

Sweet, after being able to check USB debugging, I was able to save my self again using psouza4's tools and guidance.... I really have no idea where noobs like me would be without his help!

Main Lessons:

1) Don't play with your phone too much without a proper SBF

2) If you're like me and can't resist, DO NOT FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE. This only makes the problem worse.

So, I have Best Buy mobile insurance, which I pay 10bucks a month.

It's been almost a year, since I bought it with Epic 4g, so I was thinking about using 120$ I spent.

I just read the article about Nexus S 4g getting new 2.3.7 upgrade, so that flared me up a bit about using the insurance to get rid of Epic 4G.

I saw a lot of people few weeks back, whom had full bricks caused by a beta Bonsai rom. I know that those people went to Sprint stores and got new/refurb Epic 4G. Although I think this is 100% user's fault, some people got their new phones for free. So I am thinking about doing that similar thing.

I am trying to get that same rom, or similar and just brick my phone and bring it to BBM. The worst thing that could happen is getting the refurb epic. But I think even it's a refurb, it would still be good as new. This way I can resell epic as new, instead 1 yr old with scratches/wears.

What do you think? Is it just too evil??

Best Buy insurance gives you new phones. Usually takes 2-3 business days to get it and they take your old phone. You will either do without, use their loaner or reactivate an old phone. They pretty much don't care why your phone is broke.

Came here to say this. When I signed up for BB insurance, they said as long as you can bring it in they will replace it. It can be run over by a car and smashed to bits, no problem. But if it is lost or stolen then you're SOL. So yeah, if you want to get it replaced, why not just drop it in some water or toss it as high in the air as you can and watch it shatter on the cement?

[Epic 4G General] austin420:
this is not insurance fraud. this is one thing insurance is actually for. if you break your device, wether it be in a fit of rage, or a pure accident, you pay a deductible, return the old equiptment, and get a new one. everybody wins including bestbuy on keeping your premium payments, their 3rd party insurer, who makes the deductible, you for getting a new phone, and the circle of insurance goes on.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No deductible with Best Buy.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
They absolutely do not. This thread probably will be closed but if say he was "clumsy" . pays a ton of money for insurance and has to turn in his old phone to be refurbed...is that fraud?
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
even nicer. i guess thats why its 10 bucks instead of 8 like sprint. i was just saying, this is how indemnity companies make thier money. there is a formula, and they know what they are doing.

hey, i think the better thing about sprints insurance, even though there is a deductible, it covers lost and stolen.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yes so that has to play into.your insurance decision...are you clumsy, a flash addict (brick), forgetful or in a bad neighborhood...lol.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
