[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tapatos:
I just recently purchased an epic 4g touch on sprint with their unlimited plan and every where I go I usually get full bars but still can't go faster than 9kb/s once I hit around 30 but over been hearing people get around 200-300 anyone know what I can do to increase my speeds. Also note I don't have 4g in my area so that's not an option
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryparid:
That is normal Sprint speed....

But seriously, try going to a Sprint store. Checking your phone side by side with their model Epic 4G Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tapatos:
Thanks I might try that gotta revert to a stock rom tho. Also my parents had crappy Samsung intercepts and i saw about 100-150 KB/s so it might be my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I think the signal bars prioritize 1x (aka 2G) for phone signal, rather than actual data speeds. I also heard signal strength isn't as big of a concern with CDMA as it is with GSM. (Meaning CDMA can reach farther, I think.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tapatos:
Well is there anything I can do cause phone calls and texting work great its the data connection that slows down it took 2 solid days downloading to get grand theft auto 3 lol I really want this to work better for tethering I don't have wifi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Has Sprint's signal always been...lacking there? Or has it suddenly gotten that bad? My guess if it you used to have good speeds, then there must be an outage somewhere. You can try all of the 3G and 4G modifications to see if they work better. Also flashing each modem 1 by 1 and testing each one can help some. But overall, you wont see much of an improvement because signal usually has to do with Sprint's end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tapatos:
Haven't tried flashing each modem but ive done modifications to my 3g settings ive even tried going into data programming and changing the port it connects to. Sprints coverage might have degraded out here it wasn't too great to begin with I get stuck in roaming alot lately
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fataldesain:
Yep that's sprint for ya. They will tell you its because they have so many customers and all of them are abusing the network.

So I wonder how att and Verizon manage to have better speeds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I just remembered. Sprint offers airaves to people with bad signal at home. An airave hooks up to your riuter or modem and broadcasts sprint signal within a few hundred feet. I'd suggest asking Sprint for one. I also heard you can use them as an upgrade line when you want a new phone. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I can tell you why your getting terrible speeds... Its the people who tether their phones to play call of duty and for their daily internet connection on the computer.

Nothing we can do about it until sprint terminates some contracts early for violating the terms of service and refusal to comply.

You can just download the file to SD Card and flash it in CWM ... very easy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fataldesain:
Yeah sure buddy, tell me what year sprint had great speeds because I been with sprint for 11 years and they were always crap. Stop believing the hype
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tapatos:
Lol seems like everyone's having a bad time with them ill try asking for one of those airave things but will they charge me out the ass for it?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kromoxs:
i'm not flash any rom/kernel etc.

i'm only play with power and volume button.

and then my xoom stuck at "entering nvflash recovery mode".

my,question,how exit thaht mode?

i can't adb cause my pc not recognise my xoom.

please,help me to figure out.

thankyou

*PS:-my xoom is m600 [wifi-3g/verizon-usa version]
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnholyX:
can you reboot the device? if yes does it stuck on reboot without pressing buttons?

if you cant turn of the device with the power button just press power + vol up at the same time for 3 sec

now it should turn off

this may help you

Here is how I was able to get into different booting modes.

1. Power down

2. Power up and wait for the M sign to show up

3. Press volume down, nvFlash will display, press volume down again, RSD mode will display, press volume down again, fastboot mode will display.

4. Press volume up to select fastboot

5. Go ahead and flash the kernel that you like to restore

can you change the booting mode by pressing vol down?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kromoxs:
thanks for your quick response..

yes,i can reboot/powerr off by power+vol UP.

but if only press power button to turn off ,nothing happens.

EDIT:-try this method and no success.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
I don't know if I got something wrong up there, but since you didn't flash anything and were just playing around with vol up/down, you should not have to flash anything...

What happens if you just reset your xoom by holding vol up + power for 3 seconds and after that just wait? Imo your xoom should just boot back into android and everything should be fine...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnholyX:
he don´t has to flash something

i am not sure if he wasnt able to turn of the device... and reboot it or something else...

the points for flashing r optional - if he wants to change the kernel or something ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kromoxs:
i'm try vol UP+power,xoom show up and "entering nvflash recovery " stil there.

i'm to press power button only for 3 sec,xoom not show up.

press power about 5sec nothing show up.

but,when i press about 8-10sec xoom powering on and still entering nvflash recovery"

also,remove battery for 1=3 hour still get stuck.

btw,thanks for your quick response
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
Try holding Vol up + PWR for 3 seconds and release, you should see the Motorola logo.

Can you tell us what happened before the xoom went off, or if you have loaded a custom ROM some time ago.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kromoxs:
power +vol UP resulting device poweringg on but stuck at dualcore logos.

i'm not load any rom.kernel etc before,just like i said,i just play with power and volume and suddenly i'm stuck
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kromoxs:
still stuck...any other solution?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Let the battery go all the way down. Then put it on charge and try to boot-up.

Can you get into fastboot mode? If so, you should be able to reboot into your OS.

For those who use Dropbox this might be of interest; there's a new Android beta at http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=53013&replies=742

"Hi everyone!

Even though the holidays have passed, we're really stoked to give you guys one more present -- a new experimental release! Under the wrapping you'll find a bunch of new toys, including a brand new Camera Upload feature. Here are the release notes:

• Automatically uploads photos and videos in the background using Wi-Fi or data plan

• 500MB of free space on first photo uploaded automatically

• Upload files of any size (no more 180 MB limit!)

• Support for resuming file uploads when there are network issues

• Various performance improvements & bug fixes

During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 5GB total (including the initial 500MB space).

[Update: this space is not separate from 5GB given for uploading on our desktop clients. Uploading from either desktop clients or Android app will count towards the same 5GB free space.]"

Now, if you have not taken 4.5GB worth of pictures and videos the easiest way of getting that full bonus is... well, you just slap all sorts of smallish music videos, all those dirty hentai pictures you undoubtedly have on your PCs and so on on the sdcard/DCIM or sdcard/DCIM/Camera on your device and let Dropbox sync those. Easy 5GB.

Just don't bother with files over 500MB as they seem to only count towards 500MB uploaded once, ie. if you upload a 1.5GB file it'll still only count as 500MB uploaded.

As for those who do not use Dropbox: just ignore this thread instead of starting some petty and childish argument how it sucks or how your favorite service is sooo much better.

Hi,

I don't know how it is working but now i can run flash content on my galaxy fit using opera mobile v11.50. It was definitely not working few days back but now i checked and it is working. Youtube, dailymotion, miniclip etc etc. i can see everything :D. No major apps installed. Just a barcode scanner is the only app i installed few days back. Any reasons guys??? Of course i'm happy but still curious to know why is it happening.

also pls. mention the rom you are using and is flash content running smoothly?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] karanmania:
ohk...on whatismyflash.com it is showing "Installed Flash Player: None(or disabled)

and i am using the factory ROM...i did not installed any other ROM ever before also. whenever i open the video page on youtube or dailymotion, it shows a BIG white play button, i click on it and it goes full screen, it loads and the video runs on the basic mobile player. I used to see the BIG WHITE play button before also but couldn't run the video at that time. But now its working!!! I used opera at that time and now still using the same version(automatic updates are disabled ;) ) And of course, i always use the desktop agent to view websites and not the mobile version of websites. Phew...any more gusses?????????????
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] -HellRaiser-:
ok now its clear.if video plays in basic mobile player then you dont have any flash player install and neither you can play flash stuff.the basic use of flash player is to play the video itself on the website screen rather than by mobile player.

and ques about opera not playing that before could be because of an update by them as before we could only download the video by clicking on it.[this functionaly to play flash video in mobile player is common in browsers like dolphine]

result is build number have change but kernel number is same 2.6.35.7..

which firmware have a 2.6.35.14..?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_handed:
first of all: read FAQs and use the search function. You are asking questions which can easily be answered by reading a few threads.

right now you are updating your rom, which also updates your kernel. you dont need to do that. just take a few minutes google time and search for a note kernel based on .14

dunno if abyss v4.0 is based on it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inf3rn0.nl:
You are right - Franco kernel moved back to 2.6.35.7 for #6;

#5 is 2.6.35.14 though - but since the kernel developer moved back to .7 it must not have been working the way he wanted it to...

AbyssNote v4.0 does use .14 - Read up here:

You have to make sure the photos etc are imported using the DropBox automatic photo import facility. This is either when you plug in a camera, phone, or just a flash card (with the right folder structure to appear as a camera). You can also do it from the phone itself I understand.

That is what they are testing, and that is what they give extra GB for.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
Yeah, that's another thread about battery drain overnight. With some screenshots.

ROM is AOKP b23, kernel s Trinity (tuna).

Sometimes it's about 20%, sometimes only 10. And rebooting phone (maybe with wiping battery stats) just before the night is helpful - then I get about 4-6% drain in 8 hours sleep time. And the phone isn't awake at that time (as you may see on graph), it's deep sleeping.

As BetterBatteryStats and SystemPanel tell me, it's system processes that use much of the battery at that time - few 'kworker' ones. I've searched the forums for some time, but still can't find a good explanation why they drain so much, nor why rebooting helps.

1) change kernel - yeah, I know, I can try that, but with stock kernel I've had the same problem - so I try to find the root of it, not just slap a few different kernels and see which one works better.

2) reboot every time before sleep - well... that's just isn't very convenient and weak way to deal with the problem.

See attached screenshots for further info.

So, any clues about what I can do to improve the situation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Link

Link

Other than that, I couldn't find any relevant answers... perhaps a runaway system process... I'd recommend switching kernels, as this issue is known and yet unresolved. Seriously though, battery stats reports it using 56s, so is it really a major problem that is causing battery drain?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
I'd check that out, thanks! Yeah I know that it's a known problem, but still can't find any good solution for it...

Well it's the process that uses MOST of the system time during that period, so I guess it's enough to cause a drain. And also, there're multiple kworker processes - each may use a bit, but together they get enough for 10% overnight drain.

Which kernel would you recommend to try next? Franco? Seems pretty popular.

Edit: Seen both of these posts, no good solutions anyway. Will try another kernel, then!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
I've had great results with Faux123 and I'm just now experimenting with LeanKernel, which is working well so far (wakelocks nonexistent).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I get the kworkers appearing in system panel too, but it doesnt actually effect my battery life. I lose 4% overnight but they show up in system panel.

Also their percentages never add up correctly. For example system panel shows maybe 1.3% cpu usage in total. But when i click thru to the system processes list, the sum of all kworkers exceed 1.3% by a good amount. So i always just ignore them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
Hmm... So maybe they aren't the root of the problem.

Anything else? Maybe battery need to be calibrated, like charging to 100, wiping stats, then discharging to 0 and again charge to 100?

What's really weird is that excessive drain occurs only with extended no-reboot period. Ie, If I reboot just before night drain will be 4-5%...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KneeDragr:
Check this out. Normally I get about 10% drain overnight, look at what happened last night..

Completely annihilated the battery, everything turned off.

Anyone have an explanation?

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

The only thing I can think is that something I was doing when I used the phone before bed, kept some sort of process alive all night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SleemLDJ:
Try using the kernel in my signature. this is a proof of what it gave me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
Great one! Less than 10% drain overnight, 30% per day with moderate-light usage :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SleemLDJ:
Awesome. Glad it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] das7982:
Sounds like you may be worrying about battery life too much. If this is worrying alot you may want to get an iphone. The 1750 mah battery is only rated at 10 hours. Lower your expectations about drainage per hour. The phone is constantly pinging cell phone towers to find the best signal possible even in deep sleep. That is the bulk of your drainage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
No thanks, iOS is too restricted for me, and I like Google hardware better (I mean revised by Google, not manufactured ofc) :)

Yeah, I know, but that's 10 hours of USAGE. And I was getting much differentiated results in the same conditions (like <10% one night, >30% other) - that's what was worrying me.

I don't expect it to last whole week or anything, but 30% of power lost in one night when it's just on the shelf doing nothing (not even connected to wifi) - that's absurd. About 5-10% is ok, I guess. That's what I was getting with my Transformer, anyway - less than 1% per hour in sleep mode with wifi off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] godsfshrmn:
Exact same problem. I'm on imoseyon's kernel. If I reboot I lose about5% over night. If not, about 30+. Some app is waking some system process up that is chugging away with the CPU. If I lay it on my bed our some other insulating surface, it is warm. Yes, my phone is entering sleep mode, no app doing wake locks, just kworker going nuts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derycklong:
I am using samsung galaxy s2 and i am getting the kworker battery bug too. about 15% overnight which sucks.

Same happening here, but only after flashing the latest CM radio. I guess it might have something to do with that.
