You must have root. Use your favorite root file viewing tool, navigate to /etc, open the hosts file in the text editor and add a new line at the bottom of the file that contains the following

127.0.0.1 s3.amazonaws.com

What this does is redirect any requests to s3.amazonaws.com to 127.0.0.1, aka localhost (your kindle), causing a timeout.

EDIT: alternatively, you could use an application such as AdAway and add it to the blacklist through such a app as well. Most android ad blockers work by modifying the hosts file.
[Kindle Fire General] screwyluie:
i did this then opened a browser and put in s3.amazonaws.com and it still loaded... rebooted, same thing so i would say this doesn't work
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
I am skeptical that this will prevent the OTA (simply could come from another source), but when I added this to the hosts file, the site will not load using that URL.

In the silk browser... Web page no available.

In Opera Mini... Network problem loading site.

So I am guessing you didn't do something. ??
[Kindle Fire General] screwyluie:
Not sure what.. edited the hosts file, rebooted and checked to make sure it was changed, still has that entry... no idea why its not.working
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
So far, no update.

I set the hosts file to Localhost as described, but I think that loading TWRP 2.0 might actually be the real cause of not getting the latest 6.21 update.

[Kindle Fire General] jutley:
Who wants the update anyway is it not better that you do not get the update and just flash ice scream when it's complete?
[Kindle Fire General] SikYou:
My device has been off for almost a week (bricked) =-) I fixed it a few hours ago and when I booted up I did not register until after I got root and disabled (froze) the auto update app via TB. So far I have rebooted maybe 10 or more times and I am still on 6.2, hopefully it stays that way :cool:
[Kindle Fire General] Marcofon:
Try to check again your hosts. In my case there was a dot after 1, so i deleted the unwanted dot and put some spaces in order to make the second line at the same distance from the first one, and rebooted my fire. Then I checked the web and I saw the expected page error. Maybe your condition is the same.
[Kindle Fire General] desmodust:
how do you see what version you are currently running?

i tried searching the forum to find out how but maybe my search criteria is inadequate...

nevermind all, i found it.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Settings (touch top right of the screen) - Devices... System Version will show there 6.2_user.. is Version 6.2 6.2.1_user.... is 6.2.1

I deleted the otasilentinstall app using rootkeeper I hope works.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Okay so I've this problem where my battery discharges while charging!

I had this problem since wednesday that time I was on stock... So I thought flashing a custom ROM now as of now i'm on SonyStyle still the same problem,

let me elaborate my problem a bit more

-To monitor how much current is discharging n charging! -498 mA while discharging n -298 mA while charging it normally

-So next thing I tried is to charge it while being switched off, most of the times it wont charge n when it'll charge it'll reach some point n starts discharging! Discharging even when its off and plugged to the charger! BIZZARE isnt it?

-Now in order to put it on chrging i've to reboot it couple of times untill battery monitor widget shows +current... N when it reaches 100 it'll begin to discharge like it'll be empty in 1nhalf hour

-ALSO I'VE TURNED OFF ANYTHING THAT SUCKS BATTERY! AND I'M NOT USING MY DEVICE WHILE CHARGING! ALSO IT DISCHARGES WHILE BEING ON CHARGER IN A switched off state.

these things i've already tried

-Flashing custom ROM

-Putting my cell on powersave CPU governor

-undervolting

-charging using USB

-CUSTOMER CARE CENTRE only resets the software

I'M SO FRUSTRATED THAT I'LL BURN THIS CELL INTO ASHES! Anybody help me before I kill thislil fellow!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
You might try resetting your battery stats on clockworkmod or xrecovery. Charge until 100% and let it discharge naturally to switch off, allow a few days of charge cycling and it should be ok.

Lipoly batteries dont trickle charge. If you leave your phone on charge for 8 hours it will just switch off the charger, discharge for awhile and then switch back on the charger. Most take 1 to 1.5 hours to charge, so if you leave it plugged in you will be charging/discharging about 6 times in that period. Lipoly have a limited number of charges before they diminish, usually about 500. So if you leave it plugged in you can reduce your battery life span considerably - otherwise it should last a good year and a half before it wears out.

Dont ever try to trickle charge, overcharge or manually discharge a lipoly battery as they have a tendancy to explode.

The good news is lipoly batteries are cheap to manufacture. You should be able to pick up a decent bst-38 (or substitute) on ebay/amazon for around 15-20 euros. Dont be hoodwinked into the 2000mAh batteries, most are fake. My 970mAh can last 2 days on Gintonic rom.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] coversnail:
I had a similar problem with the battery discharging whilst charging.

For me the problem turned out to be my USB cable becoming faulty. It would still transfer data when connected to a computer, but would get a similar problem to the one you describe when charging. Might not be the same problem for you though.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] *boy*racer*:
I am now experiencing this problem. I think it is my usb cable too. Will buy another 1 soon. It discharges then charges again when I pull out the cable and plug it in again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Well already tried wiping battery stats

heres what I've discovered till now

-The charge current drops as if the battery is at 91% but it isnt even close

-It is either the battery is sending wrong data to charger, or it is faulty

-Not able to explain how n why it discharges even a switched off state???

-Only solution I can think is a charging dock for BST-38
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
If I leave my cell on charging for 8 hours, then after 8 hours my battery will be zero... It'll keep blinking the red light for hour or more... See thats a wicked problem...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Dr.Pat:
happened to me also, had to use a better cable (don't use thin and/or long cables)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Yeah I tried with a Nokia made cable and its charging flawlessly! This is my first time with a Non-Nokia n so far the experience is not very good!

btw thanxxx a lot for your attention n concern!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vivs:
- similar (identical) problem, tried similar resolutions (factory reset/sdcard/sim removing/different chargers/battery replacement)

- disassemble my phone... and found out, that micro usb connector replacement is unrealistic.

- watched charge/discharge/voltage/current/temperature process trough battery monitor widget (1 minute sampling)..

- re-calibrated battery many times

RESOLUTION : micro usb connector or connections in mobo is dead. I build charger with current meter. No matter, what says my phone about charging (pluged in - discharging)- any information displayed delays for minutes on phone. IF my external current meter says - "charging", than phone state is "CHARGING" independent from what phone is displaying at the moment. Moving usb charging connector in phone causes current to stop flying to phone or reducing current value. Phone still says "plugged in" and or "charging" on "discharging"...

Temporary resolution: little pushing/deformation on charging connector (male) and LED in charging chain, witch is displaying - charging or not. Every time connecting charger i'm looking on indicator LED and moving charge connector, till LED says "charging" and then no more any moves on phone.

Future resolution: contact-less charging trough inductive coupling

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Might be your modem problem . Flash a new one via ODIN
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
what do you meam modem? can you guide me pls? can i still use cyanogen even after?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ohy0ng:
im using 2.3.6 xpp as base for my cm7.2
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
how can i do that then?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mawnstermew:
3g signal works fine for me though switching from 2G-3G is uber slow >.<

im using DDkQ5 and grif's cm7 and somewhere down the road in History i remember flashing Odin using another set of Modem maybe you could try it out...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
so you mean even im in cm7, i can still use odin and just flash only the modem?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mawnstermew:
no i mean flashing the entire ROM but using another modem. not the one that goes with the package
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] angeleo02:
3g is working for me,pangasinan area,i'm using ICS2
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ohy0ng:
what base rom are you using?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
what base rom do you mean? im using cm7.2 now.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chopper:
i recommend DDKQ6 .. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
so you mean I will install ddkq6 via Odin?how can I revert then?should I go back to rtfs file system?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] angeleo02:
Y dont use dxkpd? Its for ph
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] petalek:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
yes my apn is correct.. and now I flashed ics2 by jusada.. still no 3g..

heres my sga info:

android version: 2.3.7

baseband: xwkp6

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
im using CM7.2 as well but does not have issues.

Since CM 7.2 there is an additional settings included in the Wireless & networks

1.Mobile Networks > Network Preferences

> now there is an option to select WCDMA only, WCDMA Preferred etc.

> ensure you select WCDMA Preferred if you want 3G

> or WCDMA Only to forceit to always use 3G connection
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TeachMePlz:
K babayan Try different firmware like KPH or KS9 yan dalawa ginagamit ko KPH for Asia KS9 hmm i forgot lol but im using that because more faster then flash ICS2. . .:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
so you mean kababayan I will flash via odin the kph?.. is it ok to directly flash it without converting back the file system to rtfs?..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chinoyray:
Try using DXKPD as base since it's a PH firmware.

How to revert back? Install a gingerbread firmware first that is a full firmware (not an update) like the ones made last year - December 2010. After flashing the full gingerbread firmware, update to DXKPD via KIES or Odin.

Then do the usual process to install CM7. (I recommend CM7.2 RC0 by vo-1 since it's more stable than the others)

Root your phone.

Flash CWM5 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1291327

Then flash CM7 via CWM5. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360889

It also helps if you set your CSC to Philippine codes. SMA for Smart, GLB for Globe and XTC for just Philippines. (google on how to change CSC. Do this after flashing DXKPD.)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] evildave_666:
I had no problems with using XXKPH baseband on Smart a couple months back on Grif_07's 7.1 KANG.

And the APN doesn't even matter on Smart any more, as long as you have the correct authentication type set. (They made this change about 6 months ago) I was still using my japanese APN with my Smart sim because I forgot to change it for like 4 days and didn't even notice.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ijustzeke:
Mine is working fine. (fast too)

XXKPO - base.

CM7.1 Grifs.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
thanks. since cm7 system format is ext4, should i first revert back to rtfs?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ikaw:
i had this problem when i flashed cm7 on my phone, if you want to lock on your 3g or hspda signal you could use samsung codes, *#*#4636#*#*

then enter phone information

then set prefered network

you'll be able to lock on hspda and 3g by doing that
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] petalek:
gud am kababayans... pa help naman po sa problem ko sa GPS... palagi nalang not "your current location is not available" dati nung froyo pa fw ko ok naman... pero pag upgrade ko gingerbread xxkph, ddkq5, ddkq6 dead ung GPS ko... ngaun gamit ko xxkph ulit... paano ulit buhayin gps ko??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] disinweb:
sir, use english language for all the dev here to understand and able to help you on your problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ikaw:
i have the same problem, i don't know why, maybe its the crom. but sometimes i was able to detect satellites but couldn't be able to lock on them. could anyone provide any solutions?

---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

and also, i think tweaks regarding pfgps fix and the tweaks on the other thread regarding faster locks on gps doesnt work also
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] wee22s:
I have tried all of the cm7 builds posted in the development section, and i have not yet encountered such problem like yours. I use DXKPB as base rom. Tried all 3 networks too. Mabuhay!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Kira.Lawliet:
Ano po magandang custom rom na battery and performance wise maganda? TIA!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
hmm these is strange.. i flashed back to stock rom base is dxkpd the latest asian firmware.. but still no data connection.. should i consider going to the store to check if my ace has any hardware problems?..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Thvmh:
Are your sure you haven't anything filled in by APN-Type that must be blanc
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
yes Im sure I have the correct apn setting.. about the location, my sister with her own ace and mine tested it in the same location, we both activated data connection, her's activated easily mine didnt. :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] zuheltzer:
Time to visit that Samsung Centre. This is also the reason that's keeping me away from CM7. At first few minutes, i get 3G signal but when I do a reboot, I'm stuck with EDGE. Trying all methods here now. I'm on SUN btw.

Wish me luck.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] droidtwoseven:
Didn't experience this when I'm in CM7. hmm..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] opawix00:
I also don't have any 3g connection with my ace... Do I have to flash back to a stock rom if ever I want my phone checked by samsung? It's still covered with warranty.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] droidtwoseven:
Did you check you APN setting?

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

SanGingerAce Lite Plus + Some tweaks!

Stock ROM based. a worth ROM; personal experience. Been using it till now.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] opawix00:
APN is ok.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] droidtwoseven:
weird! its working fine with me..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] zkcim_91:
yeah that's really weird, mine works fine.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] opawix00:
I'm on SUN... maybe I'm out of coverage area? never really tried it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
I have the same issue, is this fixed yet?

After installing this (CyanogenMod 7.2-cooper-KANG-RC0-Android 2.3.7) my phone's data capabilities like 3g is not working anymore.

I am using the baseband S5830DXKT5 (2.3.6) from SIngtel. However, after flashing (before I install cm 7.2) I tested the 3g and I connected to the internet and it was fine. But when I install this ROM, my data capabilities fail.

I have the proper internet settings that my network provided me.

I have a signal and Messaging works. I can also browse the internet through wifi.

Help?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
Ive tried using different baseband versions and different roms.

Whatever baseband I use, the 3g and data connection works. However, once I install any rom there is, Ive tried three (Kang, Ice Cream Sunday, CyanoAce), I just lose 3g and data connection.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nek_nek:
Do you use Stock ROM mga kababayan?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
Yep, I've tried three different ROMs already. All of them are fine before installing CM7.2. However, when I install Cyanogen, my data connection gets lost.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
i thinks my problem still isnt solved. :(

well, it is great news the cm9 is coming, so we have to give up CM7? cmdefy.tk/jordan-nightly/, the site never update since 4, Dec.

Any news?
[Defy General] Cristi_10:
if cm9 is coming i think the devs are focusing more for cm9:D

perhaps they will update cm7,but there is a small chance of that happening now;)
[Defy General] Sebianoti:
CM7.2 update is coming soon, i have a feeling that is the last update for CM7, After that CM9 takes over
[Defy General] dereckzh:
sure, I am waiting the stable CM9 but I do not wanna give up cm7 for now:D
[Defy General] dereckzh:
waiting~:D
[Defy General] maccboy2010:
Hiya IV just installed stable 7.1 and wow I don't no why I didn't do it earlier you guys have done a fantastic job with it. I love in video recording u can zoom in n out everything is working smoothly and I'm shocked how much my battery life is lasting on froyo I was getting 7-8 hours top, with this stable version I'm getting over day and half,and I use my phone very heavily :-) so I just want to say thanks and I appreciate the great work u guys are doing. :-) my defy is a new phone now I can't wait for the 7.2 update then I'll be definitely will be trying cm9 .:-)
[Defy General] roundaus:
why did they stop developing for windows 95? bastards!!!!!!!!!!!
[Defy General] nameite:
Lol u're such a dumbass :D

I think the devs are trying to find a solution for bootloop problems, which sometimes occurs in CM7 (last nightly) and CM9

When that is fixed for both, think CM7 should be as stable as a rock and probabaly ends there...and we all move onto CM9
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
waiting for final 7.2 release and a stable cm9 release thereafter.

hope they work well with green lense

Got the gingerbread update yesterday and unplugged my fully charged phone and went to bed. In the morning, about seven hours of no phone use later, went to use it and battery said it was at just 25% and phone idle / android os had used 384% of battery and Tapatalk (which I used for just 1 minute before logging on here) used 43 %.

This is on stock gingerbread (European Open). Anyone found a way to sort this?

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] winb87:
Drop the brightness to zero for overnight. See if that works.

Cheers.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I can try but its using battery at rate of about five percent every few minutes if actually use it so has to be plugged in. Maybe the update somehow screwed battery?

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] djeebee:
My solution for this momend disable gprs/3g data for extra long battery life.

Djee.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Done that though leaves me with a pretty redundant phone then :(

Fully charged calibrated battery with app off market and twenty eight minutes later down to thirty percent battery left. Its getting worse, I have a mobile phone thsts now no longer mobile and really hope someone has a solution as need my phone working properly. Bloody lg are not in my good books lol

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] borelis:
Check so you don't have the Android OS bugg.

Check that your phone is able to go in to deep sleep. Two BIG drainers for me was beautiful widgets and WidgetLocker.

Toggle and weather drained alot to.

Google maps is a classic battery drainer.

Got rid of those and my battery last well throughout the day and night. Lovely :-)

-----If it ain't working, try something else. ------
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Got no widgets etc running. How do I put phone in sleep?

At moment with no widgets and no use my phone is still pretty much useless unless as now it's plugged in. I can't understand how no one else seems to have same issue as only started on fresh install of gb.

Maybe I will have to risk non stock rom but hope not.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] deox91:
WidgetLocker is a big battery drainer? thanks for the hint! :)

one really big battery drainer for me was the newest android market so i went back to an older version.. with the new market my battery drain was 10%/h and with an old market 5%/h..

i also deleted almost every ls system app except the weather widget
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I think the update itself is bugged as it often tells me phone has been off battery for only seconds and says 285% of battery has been used.
[LG Optimus 3D] bioweb:
On the latest V10k Froyo firmware my battery usage was pretty good. I flashed the new V21a GB firmware about a week ago and suddenly my usage went way up in idle. In about 10 hours I lost 30% or so. Worked with it for a couple of days and even when I used the phone the usage was a lot worse than with Froyo so I decided to do a factory reset. I backed up everything with Titanium, did the power+vol down trick and resetted the phone completely. Now my usage is even better than with V10k, I'm only losing 5% each night. My phone was fully charged about 40 hours ago and I still have 66% left. In those 40 hours I took some 3D photo's and viewed them in the 3D Gallery, checked my email twice, made 3 calls and sent and received 7 whatsapp messages.

The battery app is busted in this firmware, I think everyone on GB has the same problem. My wifi used 1148% yesterday and it told me I unplugged the phone 37 seconds ago while I was nowhere near a powersource for hours.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
The problem is I have reset to factory settings and still have the problem.

I have calibrated the battery and also switched off phone to fully charge and am at a loss what to do but tomorrow I may resort to another reset. Thanks

EDIT : I have noticed that all apps I kill from settings menu warn they will restart immediately. Maybe that's a clue as to a cause?
[LG Optimus 3D] s34nyb0:
I'm having the same problem. Updated yesterday, battery was 100% last night, woke up and battery was down to less than 40%.

It is also running ghost apps, by that I mean that it's running apps I haven't opened or used. Everytime I go into running apps, there is at least 6 listed. It is eating up my ram, I'm at about 40mb at best, stop all apps and a few minutes later its the same thing.

Any ideas?

P.S: Hello BTW, I'm a noob but I've been floating around for a while now :)
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I have managed to improve battery life so it lost zero percent overnight and about twenty percent playing a game for an hour.

I downloaded battery calibrate app from market and charged to full then ran the app, unplugged and used phone til it switched off. Left it off while charging and when switched on seems much better though still says I have been on battery for just seconds.

Am testing the battery life now but is much better so far. To stop ghost apps get gemini app manager from market and use it to stop them auto running. Some apps can only be stopped if you're a root user.
