[Samsung Galaxy Mini] iamnimit:
Hello guys. Greetings to you all :)

i have a GALAXY MINI 7-8 months old. earlier i was using the sim cards which had 2G gprs and at that time, the phone gave me battery backup of about a day (24 hours with normal usage)

then i came to know about BSNL 3G sim and its data plan which was quite cheap and similar in price to 2G packs. so i switched to BSNL.

then my phone used to get heated during charging or during multitasking and also, the battery would quickly charge to 80-90 % (within 30 mins) and then drop to 15% in 30 mins :D :D

i searched for many forums to find the reason of heating etc etc. one day, i thought to remove the 3G sim and put back an sim with 2G network only.

TO MY SUPRISe, THE PHONE NEVER GOT HEATED AND EVEN MULTITASKING DURING CHARGING HAD NO EFFECT on the PHONE TEMPERATURE.. :confused: :eek:

so guys, i want help in this topic.

1.] does SGM heat while using only 3G network?

2.] is the problem with the BSNL CARD only?

3.] have you ever faced problem of phone heating(above normal 50 degrees) during charging or multitasking?

4.] is my assumption that BSNL sim is the CULPRIT correct?

5.] how much backup did your SGM gave after 7-8 months? (mine gives only 5-6 hours of moderated usage. :( :( )

6.] any other tips or suggestions you would want to share.!

by the way, i have tried using cm7 rc5.7 , cm 7 rc0 v0.7 mebitek, mini mod, STOCK GB rom and froyo too. AND IN ALL THE ROMS, I FACE THIS PROBLEM.

and those who get help from my this thread, please say THANKS :D :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
battery drains quickly because of using 3g

3g uses different bands and also uses higher frequency that's why your mobile get heated

sim is not the culprit but using 3g is the problem

about quick charging try calibrating your battery
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] iamnimit:
how to calibrate? give me sum short steps or any post where battery calibration procedure is given?

AND by the way, i have also used TATA DOCOMO 3G net but when i used that, i dont think my phone used to get heated so high... i mean when i remove the backpanel and touch the battery, itz alott lott hot just like water about to boil.. :O
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
download any battery calibration app from market and steps will be in the app

hmm.. kk... i will try it... :)

What price of 3g pack u r using??

.

Is 2g = 3g same price. Didn't think so.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hsay:
My mini is a year old and have no problems with bsnl 3g VIP phone gives around 20-24 hours of backup with data continuous on and also moderate-intense use I am actually quite happy.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acidburn89:
So.. I got a new Prime and my buddy accidentally upgraded it to .21. It's completely stock. I had a few questions.

1) Is the browsing with flash on always this bad? Every once in a while it says Browser not responding. It also freezes very often, but only for a second or so. What is going on? II tried putting it in Performance mode but that doesn't help either. I read somewhere that ATP Tweak fixes this issue? What do you guys think about browsing on the ATP.

2) Wifi + Bluetooth streaming crashes if the video is HD. Once it crashes, i have to reboot the Prime to get it working again. I use a SE MW600 headset. I have had no problems whatsoever with Wifi dropout or reconnects.

3) How can i disable auto-rotate on the lock screen? It is very annoying. :mad:

4) Does having a fast micro SD (class 6/10) in the slot generally enhance the performance? For cache or VRAM purposes, may be?

5) Is it normal if my REAL micro SD is sticking out a lot more than the dummy one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
1) Yes. The browser freezing issue is a known one. If you have Flash set to ON it will be worse. Try setting your Flash plugin to "On Demand" which will allow you to interact with Flash content by clicking on it instead of it auto starting as the page loads. Also I have found the browser freezing issue to be much less of a problem by using Boat Browser available in the Play Store.

2) You didn't actually ask a question here :) However I don't have a problem watching HD video and streaming it to a set of bluetooth headphones. If your video player is crashing try resetting the video player app by deleting all of its data under App Management. If that doesn't help try doing a factory reset on the tablet.

3) I don't know. I don't think you can right now.

4) Not really. The SD card or microSD card has practically nothing to do with system performance. The Prime has its own internal RAM and doesn't use the SD card as a swap disk or anything like that. Having a faster microSD card can make your photos load quicker in Gallery if there are a lot of photos stored on the card. Also if you are recording video or photos directly to the card a fast card can help. However I am using a 32GB Class 4 and I have had zero problems recording 30min+ HD videos directly to the card so I doubt that spending the extra money on a Class 10 card will give you any meaningful performance benefits for the extra money you would be spending.

SD cards and microSD cards are a mixed bag anyway. Some companies Class 10 cards perform worse than other company's Class 2 cards. There isn't a meaningful regulating body making sure that card ratings are accurate so it is best to look for cards that have the most positive reviews.

5) Yes. Dummy cards are meant to protect the slot and are almost always smaller than actual SD cards.

Hello everyone, I decided to make this poll because I see a lot of you typed "Arconium" instead of the actual name "arconium". To make things more consistent, please vote on this poll to decide the fate of the first letter, whether you like it small or capital.

Autocorrect might sometimes capitalize, sometimes people typing on touch screens get lazy and don't capitalize where they should? Ima stab a guess that people will continue to mix it up.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carks:
About 10 days ago i decided to flash cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 (my phone was running Andromodus Audacity before). Everything was running perfect, until today.

When I turned my phone on, it boots into cyanogenmod and eventually I can see my homescreen. But after about 20 seconds it reboots itself. It boots into cyanogenmod, and the same things happens again.

So, i rebooted into recovery and flashed cyanogenmod again (and of course wiped data/cache/dalvik).

But even with a fresh rom installed, it still happens again. Dont know why?

So is there any solution to this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Superwipe and flash again?

Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carks:
With superwipe, you mean format data/cache/system/dalvik?

I already wiped these and flash cyanogenmod again, but didn't solve the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carks:
Ok, now I understand what Superwipe means.

So, I tried to flash the normal Superwipe, and reinstall Cyanogenmod, but the same thing occured again. I even tried Superwipe+, but still doesn't solve the problem.

I also tried flashing an different rom (MIUI), but even with an other rom, the reboot still happens
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carks:
I tried Superwipe again, but still the same. Then i tried Superwipe+ again, and i'm now in Cyanogenmod for more than 5 minutes!

So, i think that this problem is solved!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you can always try fastboot -w, its even cleaner than superwipe but of course you need to be at a computer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawmetal:
Might be a bad download... redownload the rom when you have uninterrupted net connection
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catherall:
Possible reasons for phone rebooting after starting system

Check all the following points:

No undervolting

Cpu clock lower limit above 200Mhz

Cpu clock upper limit lower than 1.3Ghz

Sim card inserted properly, clean and dry

SD card inserted properly, clean and dry

Battery contacts clean, no dirt in contacts

Furthermore connect you phone to the computer and use adb to get debug information from the phone:

Check if your internal emmc is working properly with the command:

adb shell dmesg | grep mmc0 (on Linux) or

adb shell dmesg (on Windows)

When the result shows the following messages then your internal emmc is likely to fail soon completely:

mmc0: failed to get card ready

mmc0: reinit card

mmc0: Starting deferred resume

mmc0: Deferred resume failed

Use command adb logcat *:V to show everything that goes on on the phone during booting and running. Errors show up then! See adb logcat --help for usage of the command.

Use command adb shell dmesg to see kernel messages.

Check if your phone also reboots when booting into recovery.

(Power off completely, "fast boot" disabled. Push <Volume Down> and <Power> simultaneously for about 3 seconds. Select Recovery with <Volume Down> and boot Recovery by engaging with <Power>.

Best regards,

Catherall
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aimede_:
Hi everybody,

I'm experiencing the same problem with my Desire Z and Cyanogen 7.2 RC since this afternoon.

I installed it from a Cyanogen 7.1 stable last three weeks (when the new RC got out) and it was stable since today. For some reasons, I rebooted it (I thought properly), and got stuck with persistent reboot after the HTC logo, the Cyanogen animation and the Pin code screen. After I typed it and pushed OK or if I let it for about 15-30 seconds, the screen goes black and the phone reboots.

The last time it happened, I had to reinstall a 2.2 legacy HTC rom then rooting again and install Cyanogen.

Things I tried :

> Boot without SIM card : same result, I get access to the desktop and reboots

> Boot without SIM and SD card : same result

In Recovery

> Wipe /cache

> Wipe dalvik cache

> Wipe data and going from 0 : same result

> Restore a nandroid backup from the recovery (2 of them, one made after installing Cyanogen 7.2, the second after Cyanogen 7.1) : same result

Things I have to try :

> Wipe all (SD card, phone memory) and restart from 0

> Throw the phone by the window :D

Attached :

logcat : one of the logcats performed while I'm getting these reboots

dmesg : one of the dmesg logs in the same conditions.

Hope that will help. :)

Regards
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aimede_:
Ok, so far, I've tried the following actions :

> Format the SD card, Wipe and reinstall a fresh cyanogen. That doesn't work

> Try to boot a cyanogen from SD card. Enough time to see that mmc0 wasn't damaged, but ended by autoreboot

> Beginning to belive in miracles when from a standard boot, the system lasted 6 minutes

> Get my old PC10IMG.zip to roll back to an old 2.2 HTC rom. And it is fu- stable !

Another hint from #G2Root : avoid any taskillers when I will get back on Cyanogen ?

[Q] Desire Z on endless bootloop after wifi enable

Well great. I installed cyanogenmod 7.2.0 stable on my G2 (HTC Desire Z) on saturday ( I had the HTC firmware until then). But until today I hadn't used wifi. Today I enabled wifi and everything was fine except that the Z couldn't find a local network. So I changed the number of channels to 13 and the network was found. The Z couldn't connect to the network, instead said "network is disabled". Then I decided to reboot. And that's when it started. The phone gets to pin code screen and randomly after about 10-30 secs the phone reboots. And then again and again after a while at the pin code screen. It stayed up long enough for me to turn the wifi off at the settings but still no use, the reboot loop continues.

Any ideas? I haven't tried factory reset or re-flashing CM. But I found a couple of issues with wifi and G2. Has this been solved maybe in a newer version of CM?

Edit: Things I tried:

- I have checked that currently the wifi is disabled

- Factory reset in clockworkmod (didn't work)

- Re-flashing the cyanogen 7.2.0 stable (worked for about 30 minutes, then rebooted by itself) without any additional software installed (except google apps, of course)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
You must have a misunderstood concept of free RAM. Actually, the less free RAM you have, the faster your apps get. This free RAM is consumed by cached processes invisible to anything else that is not a system app. You can go to the Free RAM screen, press Menu and select Show Cached Processes to see your true free RAM. The more cached RAM there is, the faster it gets. I remember someone here at these forums actually posted the difference between "free" and free RAM, can't remember though. The Xperia Play can run BOTH of them at the same time, just like an iPhone 4S, especially if you are supercharged.

Hi. I've used my tab for one month. Everything is good.

but I find one problem today.

My direction is opposite in google map.:confused:

if when I indicate right direction the blue triangle indicates left direction like follow

picture. But the compass function is good. Just my direction is opposite in map.

So.. is there any app for fixing this problem or can I fix this in my tab?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Are you using GPS or just WiFi? Try going outside and turning on your GPS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TeeeJaay:
are you using a case with a magnet latch?

is the gps turned on? if the gps is off the tablet will use the built in magemometer as a compass which is not very accurate since it reacts easily to metal objects
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rnban:
yes.. I am using GPS at the moment. It looks strange!!

No. I was in my house at that time. If I am outside my line of sight is getting small.

Maybe I have to change my ROM or reset my tab..:mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Well, the only way you'll get an actual GPS reading is from being outside, or at least right at a window that has a good field of view to the sky.

Otherwise, your tab's internal compass might just be a bit faulty, or there's something metallic or electromagnetic inside your house that is interfering with it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lulugirl896:
Could it be that you tapped your compass icon on the map? Try tapping it and see if that helps....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
Install and run GPS Status. In the Setting->Tools you can find tools to calibrate your compass. Following the instructions there and hopefully it would solve your problems. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zamuz27:
So here's my little story. I have an international Galaxy Player 4.0, originally on stock Froyo (2.2.2, I think). I was playing some games on it and the performance was a little jerky so I turned it off and on again, and for some reason the player decided not to get past the Samsung logo ever again.

The only thing that worked for me was going into Samsung's recovery mode and doing a factory reset, and since I was starting from scratch I figured I should try a Gingerbread ROM. I followed these instructions with the rooted G1XXKPQ ROM and it worked flawlessly, and now I'm on 2.3.6.

This brings me to my question: has anybody noticed how the accelerometer seems noticeably less precise than on Froyo? And more importantly, is there an app or something that would allow system-wide tuning of the accelerometer?
