[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
I'm new to Xoom. I use Samsung Galaxy S2, where if you use a non-stock ROM like Cyanogenmod, you lose hardware decoding support for many video codecs. That's the reason I always use stock-based ROMs on my phone.

I flashed Team EOS ICS rom on my Xoom almost as soon as I brought it home, and I love it. However, I wonder if I lost any hardware video decoding support compared to stock. Any help?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caster62003:
After using both stock and TEOS, I haven't noticed any huge difference between the two in video playback, or at least what I use of them.

If you really wanted to try it out, you can always flash your XOOM back to stock using the images that Motorola supplies, then update to ICS if required, then see if anything is missing. I haven't personally done this myself, but in theory it should work.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
The xoom uses hardware accelerated decoding supported by nvidia firmware. In that context, decoding is identical.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achal1012:
Can any one help me to find the best kernel available for Ics rc 4.2 ?

I have tried glitch, semaphore and of course the stock one .

But I face serious issues with battery life . Android os eats plenty of battery and the battery is always dead in 6 hours !

Thank you in advance .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martynas900:
Try devil. If you want long battery life,change governor. For me no problem at all

Sent from Galaxy S ICS
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achal1012:
Which version?

I searched around and people are telling that 14.2 led is best !

And which governor should I use? generally I use ondemand and lagfree without OC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryandabao:
Try using smartassv2 or conservative.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achal1012:
OK.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmindnaruto:
Semaphore 0.9.0 is very very stable. I'm using it on RC 4.2 on SGS-I9000 and it looks like the most fluid at all.Best balance between Battery/performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudeepm:
rightly said..RC4.2 in itself was quite laggy..atleast in my observation..i flashed semaphore 0.9.0 recently and suddenly its as smooth as anything..i use smartassv2..

battery life looks good..no FC reboots etc so far! wayyy better than stock kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierral13:
I'm also using ICSSGS RC4.2 with Semaphore 0.9 (smartassV2 governor), and the battery life is quite good.

Bu I observed that data connection and screen consume a lot of battery. With data disabled, and a normal use, my battery lasts about 2 days. But if I enable data, the battery lasts just a day. And if I use it (check facebook, twitter, reader, that-is-to-say, if my screen is on), the battery is empty in the afternoon.

Do you have your data enabled all the time ? I think this is the component that uses the more the battery..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achal1012:
I have already tried that kernel .

And no data is not enabled all day but for some part:eek: of the day.

I know that thing eats battery. But in my battery usage it shows "Android OS" keeps my phone awake. And that is the reason the main reason the battery dies quickly!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achal1012:
Thank you guys for your replies !

I will once again give a shot to semaphore 0.9.0.:)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achal1012:
Flashed AOKP beta 2.1 and it works like a charm. For me nothing extra added .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishu_nisarg:
regarding best kernel

undoubtly its semaphore even its working well in 4.0.4 .....extermly smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raffopiteco:
semaphore 0.9.1

You should try semaphore 0.9.1

Now I'm trying it, it has good battery life and for now I don't see any bug:-)

I hope to help you.

I softbricked my phone trying to flash back to stock since i just sold it to someone. My phone softbricked while flashing so i was like "No big deal ill just use heimdall one click" which did not work for me. i then used heimdall one click unbrick which didnt work. and now neither of them are detecting my phone. I tried using gremlin remover but no luck. Please help i need to ship this phone out today. :mad:

EDIT:

Used a different USB cable and it worked :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You sound too eager... You used Heimdall One-Click which didn't work... so you did this... then that....

Just use Heimdall One-Click and figure out why it didn't work. What were you previously on when it say you soft bricked and what were you trying to flash to?

Great... Another pointless thread for somebody who wanted to post something then actually read.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasha007:
I'm on Stock KL1 ROM for my S2 .

I'm facing a weird problem with my S2 . Every once in a while ( like within 2-3 days ) , my phone gets turned off automatically ( or freezes , i don't know exactly ) , and i don't know this until either someone tells me that he was calling and it came switched off OR i myself pull out my phone to use it but find it off :(

And the restart it pressing the power button doesn't work . Nothing works & I then have to hold Power+Home buttons and then it starts .

I also had this problem in the earlier KF3 ROM , so i updated to KL1 this week and today i again faced it :( . Made a batch restore of all user apps with TB after i updated to KL1 .

Is it a hardware issue or app conflicts .?? Is there any way to know what causes this .?

Some monitoring app / Log collector that logs misbehavior / situation when the phone gets shut on its own and then retains the statistics / log when powered up again .?

Have watchdog , but it does not report anything ( apart from the suspended linux process which is the Android system bug ) . And there is no way to know since after restarting watchdog does not maintain its notifications .

Please advice what to do .? This feels very weird when phone turns off on its own .

Here is a screenshot from battery monitor pro widget :

The phone automatically shut off at 08:43 & i restarted it at 08:58
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S0und_:
You have a recurring problem, which can be:

a) hardware issue

b) app issue, even if you changed your rom, your apps are still the same, since you restored them with TB.

So this is what i would do:

- flash a stock rom, (let's just say KL1), and install only your essencial apps.

Only those that you can't live without

. This is just a test you need to "survive" only 3-4 days without your apps :)

We need to determinate that you problem is hardware or app related.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sids911:
Happened to me too when I upgraded to KL1 stock. The phone kept restarting no matter what.

I finally factory resetted the phone, then cleared the dalvik cache etc. then flashed to KL1 Indian official firmware using odin - then installed the apps manually (did not restore the backup)

Now its all okay.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasha007:
Alright , but its not just a matter of 3-4 days . Sometimes this problem recurs after 2-3 weeks . The frequency is very random .:mad:

Isn't there any way that i can have the log recorded so that the moment the phone turn off , what causes it can be recorded in the log and then we can find the issue .? :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasha007:
By restoring apps manually , do u mean one by one with TB or manually using the market .? And what about app data .?

And , So Can i restore app data only with TB for all apps after installing them one by one manually .? :confused:

I don't think you will be able to access the contents of the SD but you can go on the partition tool you have (e.g. Easus, Panasonic SD formatter etc) and delete the partition as yz.hd said, then allocate the available space to Fat32. Alternatively, use icke's method :)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] the Doctor:
At the Mobile World Congress 2012, Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 running Ice Cream Sandwich. GSMArena.com got their hands on a demonstrator and produced the Youtube video below showing it off. I think we can expect the ICS release for the 8.9 to look about the same. What do you think about it?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] beginner:
GSM calls?

It is my bad english plus no good quality or sound? Looks says gsm calls!!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
Early GT8.9 videos also showed phone app (and a sdcard slot), so this doesn't mean anything.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] beginner:
Some ics rom have partially phone functionality. I think we need a copy of the ics of te vídeo..... :-)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
Yes, including voice in ICS is not a problem. I think we just need a baseband that includes voice capability. If anyone is brave enough to try and flash GT7.7 or GT7.0Plus modem.img then we could maybe make it work. Unfortunately trying this could brick the radio or worse. I have thought about trying this, but i just don't want to brick my device...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] labosch:
1. Auto-rotate was off, so we couldn't see the rotation animation which is sometimes a bit choppy in 3.x.

2. Portrait mode wasn't shown (which is slower for the 10.1 in 3.x compared to landscape).

I wonder if ICS really brings us these magic software hacks that make the Tegra2 limitations go away...

probably and advertisement that came from an app you downloaded. I hate those..

Find the app that is doing it, rate it 1 star then uninstall and find a better similar app where the developers aren't douchebags.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZolaSlo:
Having same problem. How do i find the app thats responsible?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] POQbum:
I wouldn't know.. if it only happened recently and you installed apps recently I would start with those..

Maybe read comments on the apps you downloaded, many people will complain about it.

All the big apps are likely safe to assume they're not the one doing it. It's usually smaller apps, less known games that do it to bring in more money.

EDIT:

Actually I take that back. There is an app to see which apps are pushing those annoying advertisements:

You need Ad push detector, it's available free from the market.

I had same problem, for me it was a an ics theme for launcher go. I removed it and found alternative, now all is good no more crappy star notification.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
I had the same issue and downloaded Addons Detector. I scanned for Push Notifications...and nuked the app responsible.

Google really shouldn't allow such crap into the market though. It takes away from the integrity of the app market.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZolaSlo:
Tnx guys, it was Live 3D wallpaper...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] vinnyjr:
Thanks for the tip on the app, downloaded it and found the app, It was a Battery Calibration app that had many people who had rated it as an air push app. What a pain in the ass those things are, they should be illegal. I have a rooted phone with adfree downloaded and it still came thru. Not any more, didn't need that damn app anyways.

Thanks again,

I would like to flash the new Rom that is rooted and teamed in the development section. My question is how? Im a noob and have no clue. I used odin to root, but had to do a system restore because my phone was acting very slow. (laggy and only 1800 on benchmarks. Now its at 2700.) it also says i need to use a new kernel. I would like to use the overclocked one but don't know how to do anything. Please give me detailed step by steps. Think you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Eric-1987:
There is step by step directions in each one of the posts. But the simple version is download Odin 1.85 and put your phone into download mode then connect odin and the phone should show up as a COM port. After that put the kernel in the pda section and hit start. That flashes the kernel and you are done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
not to sound like a jerk or rude , my best advice to you is instead of asking for someone to tell you step by step, is to read the threads for the modifications you want to do in your phone, and re read the steps, when I first started in the flashing game back in the winmo days I would print out pages from here with the guides and steps the devs would post so I could sit in front of the pc and have the info right in

front of me without having the need to open and close the browser while trying to use the pc for flashing. I also made friends so I could just pm someone if I had any issues/questions, keeping me from having the need for posting and making too many questions on the threads , thus helping me avoid the famous "use the search button" comment. :D

Good luck and have fun!!:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
I read them about ten times each. I just want to know what i should do if there is anything special to do.

So do i flash the overclocked kernel first or the Rom?

Oh, and you don't sound like a jerk. Im just very nervous and don't want to brick this and have to go back to my 3gs...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
if you're going all the way I would suggest flashing clockworkmod recovery thru odin, doing a nandroid backup, then flash the rom, then flash the kernel, most roms already have a kernel included, but not in the case of twopumpchump's rom, as he states his don't have the kernel, so you flash the kernel afterwards, I'm sure in the future when they start to have more roms and kernel choices the devs will probably add their kernel of choice for their rom/build, therefore if you decide to use a different kernel in that situation you flash the desired kernel after the rom so if the rom has one it won't replace the one you want, you understand? meaning you always flash the kernel after the rom. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
Ok thanks.

I'm trying to do a clockworkMod recovery, but the galaxy note isn't listed.... What do i do?

Now im not sure if you can answer this, but what do i do with this? Its from Da_G's kernel guide

"You will need modified libraries to take full advantage of this kernel as they override speeds at times, you can find these here.

You'll have to push them over adb for now after flashing the kernel, when CWM is up I will make a CWM zip for it.

From the directory with adb and the three .so files:

Code:

adb remount

adb push libhardware_legacy.so /system/lib/

adb push librpc.so /system/lib/

adb push libandroid_runtime.so /system/lib/

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/librpc.so

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so

adb reboot

Souce code available at: https://github.com/dagnarf/sgh-i717-dagkernel"

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
this is for the use of adb(android debug bridge) and you need android sdk/jdk installed on pc to have commands for android thru command prompt.

if you want to install cwm from androiduser00110001 all you need is odin in your pc and the rest is this.

Follow these instructions:

You will need Odin to flash recovery. Check the threads on how to use and where to download it from.

Download recovery HERE

Start Odin

Click on PDA

Browse to file odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_a1.tar

Make sure your phone is in download mode so Odin can flash

Flash file

Let phone reboot

Boot into recovery - Either use adb reboot recovery or power down phone, press volume up, volume down and power at same time to boot into recovery

Once in recovery, select power down phone

Let phone power down and then power it back up

Phone should reboot into OS fine, if not go into recovery and try again.

That is one bug so far. Mostly everything else works. If you get stuck in a CWR boot loop than just flash stock recovery that can be found HERE.
