This is the first time I have heard of these USB jigs. My phone is working fine but I want one of these things just in case. From the descriptions on ebay it seems that any USB jig good for one Samsung device should be good for them all? Can someone confirm? The Galaxy Nexus is so new that I don't see the model listed in any of the descriptions. Thanks.

Some problem here. I think that all we need is the gsm files for odin flashing. i try with the cdma/lte files for odin but it fails every time...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xaronax:
Wow people. You guys need to maybe throttle back on the crazy stuff you're doing to your phones.

Flashing CDMA files to a GSM phone? Ouch.

Doing ANYTHING without a Nandroid? WTF?

Pushing stuff to the phone using ODIN without knowing the difference between adb and fastboot? Eeesh.

There are dozens if not hundreds of people on this site that will help you if you don't understand something. If you don't understand something well enough to do it without step by step instructions, I really don't recommend trying undocumented solutions.

Add me on Talk, my forum name @ gmail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billard412:
What worked for me was to download the full factory odin but only flash the phone file. Its only the radio so flash only lasts a few seconds. Then boot into the bootloader. (It should be back now at least mine was) and flash the boot system and recovery with fastboot. boot into recovery and flash another rom/restore a backup if ur sdcard didn't get wiped. worked for me, twice. Best of luck.

[Galaxy S II General] mgxplyr:
The topic pretty much explains it. I've been using different modified stock roms and now I'm on the latest nightly of CM7, and I keep having this issue. After a reboot at around 50%, the battery drops to 15%. The weird part is that while I continue to use the phone, it slowly rises back up to sometimes 30% and then starts going back down. I've always cleared battery stats when flashing and calibrated (which I believe is unnecessary), but I don't know if this is a problem with the battery, the phone, or if anyone else is having the same issue?

Attached is a screenshot of battery usage. You can see I never actually charged the phone.

[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
LOL@screenshot. looks like a bow and arrow..

anyway guys, you need to recalibrate your battery, its not being read accuracy.

download BatteryCalibration from the market, charge your phone till 100% (not just 100% but when it beeps, that its truely at 100%), then use BatteryCalibration to calibrate your battery, and then drain it to 0.. (crank full brightness, turn on LED flashlight, blast internet radio, whatever makes it drain faster to get this part overwith), then recharge it to max.

so;

charge to full 100%

while still plugged in, run BatteryCalibration

discharge to 0%

recharge to 100%

battery successfully calibrated, you will now have an accurate reading

[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
This thing only happens on CM7 for me. It had 40% before reboot and like 15% after. However mine only increased to about 17% then started dropping as usual. This never happened on any stock ROMs I've tried(stock, not themed/modded stock).

did you

did you rsolve the problem ? how? I have the same problem and I tried more stock roms ... I don't know what tot do ....
[Galaxy S II General] TheReverend210:
Its nothing to do with calibration etc, its just how the fuel gauge chip works, it learns and more accurately reports usage over time. For example, if you reboot and (I can't remember the actual voltages for the S2) you have 1200mV, the chip goes, "ah, that is 15% battery." Then as you use it more, it relearns its settings and goes "aaah, my mistake 1200mV is really 30% battery. I'll display that instead."

Its been covered frequently that "calibrating" the battery of the S2 in any way but actually using it, is next to useless.

When I go to settings/storage, I see that I have 400 megs of internal storage still available. I believe all my apps are stored internally. So as long as I show space available, is there any other benefit of installing apps to the sdcard instead?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
Well if you're a person who installs a ton of apps on their phone, then having an sdcard for extra storage isn't a bad idea.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, there's no benefit whatsoever in having the apps installed on SD card instead of internal memory. As long as you have enough internal memory to hold all the apps you want - moving them to SD card will just slow the loading of the phone, the loading of the apps themselves, will disable the apps when you're mounting the SD card on PC, and might create some other various mild annoyances.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] modestone:
So this is still a pretty new device, just rooted last week, and currently has no roms or recovery image available.

I am curious what things we can do to our STOCK rooted rom to improve performance.

Obviously overclocking is something we can do and has real benefits.

We can remove some of the bloatware that AT&T installs.

What else can we do to a stock rom to make it more efficient and more like an optimized custom rom, while we wait for the rom cooks to make us something nice?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] modestone:
Woops, thanks mod!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
like you said: overclock and remove bloatware. thats about it with root. use a custom launcher and it should be even faster.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] modestone:
What about zip aligning (what does this actually mean anyways)?

Any other kernel or system\general android tweaks?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Croak:
Nuke/freeze the bloatware and wait for ICS to come out. Install ADW Launcher EX to get a smoother desktop experience. Overclock and enjoy owning the fastest dual-core Android tablet on the market at the moment. :)

Don't sweat deodexing or zipaligning, performance gains are minimal for the effort, learning curve is steep.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
deodexing just allows for theming i believe
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] JayWheelz:
How do you Nuke/freeze the bloatware? I've never done that before unless I'm looking at what you're saying the wrong way.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Croak:
Get Titanium Backup from the Market, use it to nuke (uninstall) or freeze (just what it sounds like) bloatware applications. Careful with the nuking, best to just freeze so they don't run and don't show up in the app tray.

I hear that there are other apps on the market that will do the same thing, but I've been a Tit man for years, no need to change. :)

How about getting a newer version of the marketplace?

I noticed mine was way different looking then the market on my roommates eeepad transformer.

We compared versions and mine was way way older, and infact downloading way older versions of alot of apps.

For reference my market version is 1.0.28 and his is 3.4.4, my sprint evo 4g is also 3.4.4.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
1.028 is not right. did you leave your tab connected to the internet for a while. it should auto update.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Croak:
Don't rush the market update, trust me.

Sure, the Market browsing screen is flashier, but 3.4.4. on the Tab looks like ****e in the My Apps section, and loses some functionality. It's really a phone Market that's not quite formatted right for tablets yet. I'm guessing there will be an update again soon, for ICS tablets

That said, go to the Themes and Apps section in the 10.1 forums (or 8.9 too, think), there's a link to the APK, you can easily try it out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] modestone:
My tablet is ALWAYS connected to the internet, and I tried to search for updates multiple times in the about system settings dialog and it always said it was up to date.

Also wanted to add that I did go ahead and install the 3.4.4 market last night. One of the apps I was hoping would be updated was Words with Friends, in the newer market it downloads a higher version number of the game, but in reality it is the exact same old version that was actually correctly version marked in my original market.

So basically even though it claims to be the newest version, it still gets the old version, even though in the version number in the game itself also claims to be the newer one.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
I am wrong. 3.4.4 is on my GS2 and 1.0.28 is on my tablet. I am having no issues with 1.028 though

EDIT: I just thought of something, I don't have a CC on file with Google. Do you?

Edit 2: Just contacted Google Music Support (you can request a call back on the Music web site).

And they are at a loss. They say it's because I may not have the latest version of Android Market (which I do) and then said it may be because the I957 isn't included. But Orlandoxpolice uses a I957 also and can see it?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Presbycusis:
Not sure if this is the right place to post this question but its kind of confusing having multiple Galaxy Tab 8.9 devices and we don't have a questions forum.

Anyway I have a few questions regarding our SGH-i957 tablet: :confused:

1) Do we have a "stock_recover.tar" for this device and if not how would I go about making one? By this I mean factory stock before any clockwork recovery is flashed. I would like to have it before I root just in case something happens to the device or maybe if ICS comes out soon enough and I want to update.

2) When rooting my tablet. Whould I flash the CWM recovery before rooting or the other way around. I am used to flashing clockwork_recovery.tar through ODIN first and then flashing superuser.zip to root. I saw that you could root by flashing Da_g's kernel and wasn't sure if that needed to be done before or after, or does the order not matter? :eek:

3) I am used to using my Skyrocket with external memory card so my Ti Backup folder is on that and it is where I keep ROMs to flash. When ROMs become available for this device and I do a factory/data reset in CWM, this will wipe my internal SD card right? So how can I save what I have already downloaded, or should I not download too many apps until I find a ROM I want to stick with?

Thanks. This is my second Android device and it is a bit different than the Skyrocket.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
1. the stock odin recovery.tar is in the stock firmware. i am sure it wouldnt be too hard to make

2. i would root before putting cwm on. to make a backup and restore it will go much smoother if you have root.

3. not sure. i think it just wipes /data and not /sdcard
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Presbycusis:
Do you have to use the Android SDK to do this? How do you get into the firmware to extract the image?

Edit: So I found this thread here on XDA but I am not quite sure about all of the instructions. It says you want to be rooted so is there a way to exclude the root from the image? I have the played around with the terminal emulator on my Skyrocket and am familiar with some unix code but I am not sure what some of the names mean like "factoryfs.rfs", "zImage", "sbl.bin", to dump before the md5sum.

Is this at least on the right track?

couldnt you just use 7zip to unzip the stock rom to get the recovery file and .tar that?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Presbycusis:
I don't really know. I am trying to read up but it seems as though all the information is scattered so sometimes it is hard to get a cohesive set of directions. How do I get a zip of the original stock rom? I might be able to through Nandroid backup but that would consist of me rooting and flashing CWM which would make it non stock. I am sure it would be possible to go in and remove it somehow but I have no clue how to do that, maybe through the Android Kitchen?

Edit: I guess I did not notice on your original post of the Da_g kernel rooting method, there is a stock kernel .tar. Though that is not a full "Odin 3e" wipe to factory stock.
