This is proven to not be effective, and constantly draining your battery to flat-out 0% can actually damage it.

Not at all necessary on these devices. The windows analogy doesn't really come into play here. I can counter that by pointing to about every single Mac owner (myself included) that will go months on end without shutting down or rebooting the computer with absolutely 0 ill effects.

And if you do "need" to reboot, it should not be as frequent as every two weeks. Especially on a mobile device. Sure, it may be good practice, but should not have to be done out of necessity to keep properly using the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I usually go 3 weeks PR so without rebooting. Around 700 hours of up time or more, and never have slow down issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keem85:
Every option I have available has already been answered here. What I noticed was that when I have very FEW apps installed, the battery stays on for longer and my ICS doesn't slow down at all. I'm running GummyNex with Franco kernel milestone 2. I'm running facebook etc in my browser instead of using the app. I'm using as few apps as possible just to keep it clean.

Hello everyone...

I bricked my galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120L) when I wanted to flash the TeamLeader 1.3 ROM. I managed to have it unbricked, but now I have a modem problem.

The phone is stuck in flightmode, and impossible to disable it.

What do you think I should do now?

Thanks,

Mark
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
What did you do specifically that blocked it in the first place, aside from trying to install the rom, is that specific rom not compatible with the S2 HD LTE?

I would say reflash a STABLE rom or try flashing a MODEM and see what that does for you, unless you're not sure why it got bricked in the first instance, or you're confident enough that if anything went wrong you can bring it back again :)

Did you check for your imei number in settings?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmpksprabhu:
Flight mode or no mobile network detected or doesnt show a IMEI#

Almost got a similar problem here...

phone got struck in flight mode or no mobile network is detected... i dialled in the dialer to make it show the IMEI no... it said IMEI:____________ well nothing :)

Info: i am on my stock ROM, not rooted nothing... 2.3.6

i uninstalled norton internet security, that's where this problem started... (it actually asked me whether i wanted to renew the norton software, since my 60 days license is got over...)

Thanks in advance!!

-Prabhu.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
Thanks Wezi....

I got the EL bricked because I wanted to flash the TeamLeader ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468998) with Odin. In that process something must have gone wrong because I had an error. And then I made the capital mistake of rebooting the phone. Since then it was bricked.

Is the MODEM part of the TeamLeader ROM or where can I find an adequate modem to flash?

Also, I didn't make a backup of the original efs directory. Stupid, I know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
@bala_gamer:

I didn't make a backup of the efs directory, so the original IMEI is lost I'm afraid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenInME:
All the rooted users, here will shrug this off as a "who cares about Kies", but maybe this will save some frustration for others.

Last week I installed Samsung Kies on my Win7 64bit laptop and ever since then I have had nothing but problems with my system not loading correctly. My computer would get to the log in prompt but would not consistently get past the log in prompt. At first I thought it was a driver conflict with my Samsung USB driver as disabling this appeared to resolve the issue. Then today, when I rebooted, all my problems came back (I only reboot once a week or so). This time, removing the driver again via Safe mode didn't solve the problem as it had previously and after methodical trial and error I finally figured out that if I disabled (not delete) the Samsung USB driver and disabled the two Kies startup entries using Windows System Configuration in Safe Mode, I could get my system to load. Once I got in, I uninstalled Kies and all seems to be good again.

A quick search of Google indicates that others running Win7 64bit are also having issues with Kies.

==UPDATE==

Samsung tech support just confirmed to me that Kies does not currently work on Win7 64bit and that they are working on a fix. It would have been nice if they had put a warning on the software download page or made sure the installer refused to install Kies on 64bit Windows. It took hours of restarting to sleuth out the issue.

Hey,

Just moved into a new basement apartment and am getting horrible cell reception, and sometimes none at all. I have been researching cell signal boosters/repeaters and they seem to be pretty solid - although very very expensive.

Wilson technology seems to have the best products. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these devices? The other stipulation is that I won't be able to mount an antenna on the side of the house, it'll have to sit in a window.

If anyone has any advice that would be great.

Cheers

[Networking] droid_does:
there was a post/thread (either on this forum or some other forum) back then about someone using T-Mo down in the states and having bad cell reception in the kitchen at their home. He/she went to T-mobile and complained or something and T-Mobile gave them a signal booster of some sort to place at home to use.

ask Rogers maybe?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
Hey guys,

I tried looking for this issue but I can't seem to find it, I doubt I'm not the only one (I hope I'm not the only one...)

I've been flashing roms for a while now, fiddling with different settings/kernels/etc. and then all of a sudden I'm having issues with my Softkeys. I'll be using the phone and then they just go blank. What also happens is that the Search key gets held down (by a ghost, it seems) and it opens up the voice search option. I've also seen my Back button flicker as if it's being pressed repeatedly.

Right now I'm on CodeName Android 1.4 but I've tried 1.6, CM9 and it seems to be the same issue. I'm assuming that since this is consistant accross all ROMs that it's a hardware issue (I could be wrong) but I'm wondering if this has happened before and if there's a way to fix it.

Thanks gents
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] granets:
Hi friend,

The same happened to me once. It was very weird. I panicked, and locked the phone. Then when I unlocked it everything was as before. It must be some kind of a glitch, coming from CM9 built roms (almost all roms that are around). Try doing a totally clean install with a popular rom and see how it goes.

Now I remember that the same happened once again, when I got a drop of water on my screen, as the touchscreen seems to detect water as a form of touching and then all sort of weird things happened. Hope its a rom issue, not a Touchscreen failure.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
Thanks man,

I'm really hoping it's not a hardware issue either as I'm not sure what the process is in terms of sending my phone in for repairs.

I'll try a clean wipe and install tonight and see how it goes.

Thanks again
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
Update: Alright so I ended up calling Samsung because I had come to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue because every ROM I flashed I had the same damn issue.

I got the ok to send in my phone and all that, I went to return my phone to Stock and when I installed the OEM operating system everything was okay... I seriously doubt that every ROM I downloaded was bugged.

I'm thinking it's just a general glitch or is it possible that 1 ROM I downloaded was bugged and everyone after that inherited the same problem? I don't know...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motopig:
I don't know where to put this, search turned up nothing.

I took the Google factory yakju 4.0.4 image and flashed everything, except the radio which I replaced with UGLC1, then struggled for another hour to regain root. At end of the day data and apps are mostly restored, I have root again, but the soft home button now no longer do anything anywhere! :confused:

Anything to try before factory resetting the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'd factory reset... Did it work before you attempted rooting? Or hadn't worked since you flashed yakju?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motopig:
I think the problem started after flashing. I was on yakju 4.0.2 before, flashed in mostly similar way, and I had no problems then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motopig:
Solved by yet another factory reset... Sigh

Solved by yet another factory reset... Sigh. At least it can receive calls again..

I kept the UGLC1 baseband.

I'm just flashing one yakju image after another while trying to keep my phone's data intact. How come each flash has become this tedious?

Do you guys know of any Android phones that have an Atheros wifi chipset? I want to have some fun with the wifi drivers, but it seems that most phones have either a TI chipset or a Broadcom chipset.

[Xperia Play General] CloudShepherd:
The Sony Mobile developer team has updated its recent blog post where it discussed the pros and cons of updating the 2011 Xperia range to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It said that the challenges posed by ICS with older hardware has been “addressed by our SW engineering teams”. This includes RAM management optimisation as well as a ‘Performance assistant’ that will launch when the phone starts. This will enable you to enable/disable certain apps to optimise the performance of your Xperia. The developer team reiterated that it is their “aim to deliver an as good ICS update as ever possible”. Sounds good to us. See the full statement below.

Updated – comment from the Developer World team:

We would like to clarify that above mentioned “challenges” have already been addressed by our SW engineering teams. For instance, we have not only optimised the RAM management by making the RAM usage for internal apps as good as possible, but we will also introduce a Performance assistant at start up when running ICS. In this Performance assistant, you can enable and disable certain services that you might not want to run on your phone, in order to optimise the performance of your phone.

We have also worked with quite a few partners in regards to architecture optimisations for SQL handling. In addition, we have also optimised the hardware usage. And as a result of this article, a number of app developers have notified us that they are evaluating if HW optimisation will be needed or not for their apps.

The aim of this article was to share our knowledge regarding the different characteristics for ICS and Gingerbread in an open way, as we strive to have an open communication with the developer community. All in all, we would like to point out that it’s our clear aim to deliver an as good ICS update as ever possible. As you might have seen on the Sony Xperia Product Blog, we’re not far from releasing it now. Thanks for all the feedback!

[Xperia Play General] Michealtbh:

[Xperia Play General] nim92akaSean:
if Sony allows us to disable all the stupid crapwares then hopefully we will have a good amount of RAM to play with.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Yeah I know. Cant wait to try the Official Ice Cream Sandwich from SONY on the Xperia Play :)
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
When Sony posted that the ram might be a little small for ICS on their blog, almost everyone pointed the finger at them for saying they would give us ICS and then telling us it might not be so good.

I on the other hand, understand. When I bought the device, I was aware of its ram. Its not Sony's fault, they aren't the ones that made ICS a ram hog.

Just be grateful you get ICS, one way or another.

I'm more concerned with the user space being limited. With GB, we can integrate apps and updates into the system rom, which gives us more room on the user partition. I'm hoping something like this is still possible on ICS.

I wanted to ask before I RMA my Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SD card.

I have this card in my Charge and every week or so now it goes corrupt. I hear of people changing the cache, but I have not rooted the device.

Is there a "fix" to prevent this when not rooted?

I wonder what the problem is, if I go to a slower card or smaller capacity, will it be avoided?

Tired of loosing all my data on the card each time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnoidgoat:
Do you format the card every time?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsjames:
Yes, each time It has to be formatted to work again.

Somebody posted on a review on Amazon that it is an Android issue with cache? That the cards are good.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnoidgoat:
I had a similar problem a few weeks ago where my phone kept telling me to format the card over and over. You don't want to root your phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsjames:
I was holding off being a little nervous of bricking if I rooted. Never really saw much that rooting gave me to make it worth it. But if it's what it takes to fix this, I might.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnoidgoat:
Don't blame you, I was terrified of rooting my phone after bricking the last one to the point of no return because I had no idea what I was doing. There are some awesome posts on here though that give detailed guides for whatever phone you have.

There is a bunch of benefits too for rooting. Like for example there are tweaks that can make your phone run smoother and save lots of battery (don't know what phone you have but I'd think they would work for you), but that's just one in, well, a lot.

As for your sd card, if you don't wanna root your phone permanently maybe you can root, fix, and then un-root? But I'm not sure if that would work or not.

This place and a couple of (meaning a lot of) google searches taught me a lot, so look around! I always combine different solutions to fix my specific problems :D

[Atrix 4G General] lexxu1:
I just sent in my Atrix back to motorola for a warantee claim due to the sporadic WiFi problems it's been having. I'd had the phone for a little under a year before this problem reoccurred, and the soonest I can upgrade is christmas day this year. Should I sell off this newly refurbished atrix and get a different phone for no contract price, or should I gamble and hope that this refurbished one will last me until Christmas?
[Atrix 4G General] Bruce Lee:
Wait for the quad core phones to come out. That's what I am waiting for. My Atrix is perfectly fine till those come out. Any other dual core phone isn't much of an upgrade from an atrix in my opinion.

[Atrix 4G General] Spokmoppa:
Yeah wait for tegra 3.
[Atrix 4G General] MJPollard:
Will ICS take advantage of four cores? If not, then I really don't understand what the advantage would be; you'd essentially be paying more money for nothing more than bragging rights. Is there something I'm missing? (Probably. :))
[Atrix 4G General] Cusa:
There are no applications that take advantage of even two cores. Like 95% of the applications can't even take advantage of one core, let alone four.
[Atrix 4G General] MJPollard:
That's what I thought, even though I do try to keep abreast of Android developments. So, basically, getting a phone with a quad core CPU would basically be the equivalent of participating in a "my johnson is bigger than yours" contest. :D
[Atrix 4G General] tasteslikechicken:
ICS is optimized for multiple cores. Even if individual apps are not optimized, multiple cores will still be an advantage. Don't forget that apps can be multithreaded and that system tasks also run alongside apps and multicore processors offer an advantage.
[Atrix 4G General] jeranon:
Just lay 'em out and measure boys ;)
[Atrix 4G General] dratsablive:
The latest Dual Core Snap Dragon processor seems to outperform the Tegra 3 in most cases. Plus since the LTE chip is integrated with the CPU the battery performance is better as well.

Since I usually wait two years between upgrades, I am not due until February, so hopefully there will be some even better choices by then.
[Atrix 4G General] lexxu1:
Well, I decided to send in my atrix, and I've just copped an OG Nexus one. I've always wanted to have one, and I'll get about $150 in the difference in price as profit after I sell this newly remanufactured atrix.
