That got you on Gingerbread. The kernel from that does not have the reboot issue.

That one has the reboot issue. You can update to bryan's latest kernel ([KERNEL] (BETA) bhundven's SMS KJ6 v0.2.0 [Apr 11]) but note that although the reboots go away the battery will drain faster.

That's not uncommon. It usually happened to me around 24 hours after installing the kernel.

That's Heimdall, which uses open source USB drivers vs. the Samsung ones. You may need to uninstall the Samsung drivers because they have a tendency to conflict with the Heimdall ones. Also, try a different USB port as that sometimes makes a difference for people.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Nickcu13:
Ive used Heidlman before. It won't find any drivers this time. I followed the instructions to install the drivers and that part of the program does not recognize anything from my phone.

Also, the screenshots are not the release we are downloading and need to be changed. (my main gripe is with the contacts screenshot as that is not something that can be easily changed in another app/launcher) [but again, thats not a discussion particularly for this thread]
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Nickcu13:
Trying the new kernel now. Thanks.

Will let you know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I'd uninstall both the Samsung and Heimdall driversand reinstall the Heimdall drivers to see if it helps.

Lumin's guides rock; you may want to follow one of those to see if it helps as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I use GoContacts from the market which includes a dialer. Themes for that as well.

And I am going to ignore your complaints instead of gratitude for somebody taking the time to make a badass ROM for all of us. If you think something should be done differently build your own ROM and do what you think is best.

Samsung Galaxy S III Previewed Behind Dummy Plastic Case (Video)

​

Less than two weeks, that's how much you have to wait until that special Samsung Unpacked event on May 3 in London when everything will be clear to everyone who is expecting the follow-up to the insanely successful Samsung Galaxy S II.

There's been Apple-like buzz (and Cupertino-like secrecy) around the Galaxy S III but it looks like we might have a first look at what to expect. The device pictured above and the one starring in the video below is claimed to be the Galaxy S III. However, it's not the Galaxy S III you'll hold in your hand as it is encased in a dummy plastic case in order to protect its sexy looks.

You want specs? Here you go: 1.4GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4.6-inch Super AMOLED HD display with 320 PPI, no hardware buttons (yay), eight-megapixel main camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording, 16GB internal storage (plus microSD card expansion slot), NFC, microSIM, 2,050mAh battery and Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz on top of it.

That being said, the Galaxy S III (or whatever the final name will be) is not a mystery anymore -- granted that the above leak is legit -- except for its final aspect. Check out the video below and let us know of your thoughts. HTC One X killer? Android king for a year?

For what it's worth, the original story with the pictures and video are down which adds more credibility to the entire report. However, thanks to the Internet, there's a copy floating around and more pictures at the Via link.

I have the wifi only 7310 model of the 8.9

Overcme CwM Recovery 5.1.2.6

ROM was Galaxian Soup AOSP 1.6

My tablet resets during recovery. Half through a data wipe ROM install ROM backup or ROM restore it will reset and reboot.

It first happened when i booted into recovery and triedROM issue. to make a back up of m y current ROM and attempt to flash the aokp one. It reset during the backup process.

It shouldn't be a ROM issue. My tablet did this once before, it would reset when i did anything involvng dataon an Overcome ROM i think. Data wipe/backup etc. I left it alone while the ROM still worked and tried again a week later with no issues.

Any ideas? Now i have a soft brick that cant boot past the Samsung Screen. I can get into recovery and download modes.

[HTC One S] joaonds:
Please, I need some basic help:

I have a HTC One V, he's unlocked bootloader and root.

I unlocked my bootloader using a tutorial that is here Forum HTC One S. Same method.

Now I want to install ROM an official from another country (I want a European ROM).

I need to lock the bootloader again?

Can I install this ROM for HTC Sync?

Could anyone help me with this question? Thank you for your attention.

(Please do not move the question for another forum, because no one in another forum, and devices V and S are nearly equal.)

Thanks.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
for official ROMs you need an RUU. whether or not a One S RUU will run on a One V device is unknown..

RUU's can be found in development section
[HTC One S] joaonds:
But, and the question about bootloader:

I need lock bootloader again, or not?

HTC Sync install RUU, with bootloader unlock ?

Thanks !
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yeah. i have done it like that.. you should be fine..

but if your flashing One S stuff on a One V there is no guarantee it will work

you take the risk flashing files meant for a different phone.
[HTC One S] joaonds:
Thanks !

I downloaded the RUU original HTC One V.

I will install using the HTC Sync then, since i do not need S-ON again.

Thanks for help.

I think your supposed to install RUU's through fastboot
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lychri:
Hi,

I hope some of you can help me.

I just got an Xperia Arc S.

Some how, the phone turn it self into silent mode every night at 10 pm. I have no idea about how and why this setting is applied to my pohone.

I do not have any app specifically for this.

Does anybody know how to remove/change this? I have searched every inch and corner of the phone. It is very inconvinient that I do not hear my calls after 10 pm.

I know I can use apps to administrate profiles, but would like to know why and hoe this is happening.

I have installed the new ICS - and every thing seems to work just fine - but the problem was there before I installed this.

Hope some body can help.

N.B. After updating to ICS the option for sound control when the screen is locked, has now be replaced with the camera instead - can this be changed?

[HTC Rezound] Db0y505:
Well Today I dropped my Rezound, That was in an Otter Box Defender case, from my pocket to concrete.... To my surprise when i picked it up, the screen was glass was cracked. Is it me, or are screens getting weaker and weaker. I mean this is the first time i ever broke a screen on a phone, and it was easy... I've had Droid 1's, 2's, X's, X2, and 3's as my past phones, and i never manged to scratch that screen, and i never used screen protectors or cases on them, and this HTC phone breaks while it is in a case...

Well enough ranting, I ordered a new digitizer from Amazon and i was woundering if any of you guys have replaced a screen on this phone, and if it is difficult to do.

Yeah I don't think its strong as it used to be..I have dropped my eris handful of times on concrete (I work in a factory.)in the last few years and I dropped my rezound the other day and it shattered. Still tryin to decide if I wanna replace it myself or pay the deductible.
[HTC Rezound] Db0y505:
Thanks, Was it hard to take it apart?

I know, I'm disappointed with this case.

If you confident that you can replace it yourself, I'd say replace it yourself.

It's saving me about $50, and a lot of time of relocking this phone, and unlocking the other one.
[HTC Rezound] brock350:
I feel confident in replacing it myself..I just don't want any asurin hicups if I need to send it in for other issues. But then again it shouldn't matter because its insurance and not a warrenty issue? Or is that a fine line?
[HTC Rezound] Db0y505:
The way I understand it is if your filing a claim, its because something that is not covered by the 1 year manufactures warranty went wrong with the phone, I.E water damage, broken screen etc.. So I don't think replacing a screen would void the Asurin warranty.

Also I don't think they really pay attention to the defected devices they receive.

you know, you might try contacting otterbox. they may hook you up.

I've known people who dealt with them and with other companies on similar issues, and they approached it by telling them that they were very dissappointed to be in this situation because before that, they believed in the product.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
My phone before this was an HTC Inspire. The battery was literally half the size of the the note, yet I still got 3-4 hours of screen on time, same as this phone. Yes the Notes screen is bigger, but it's only 25% bigger. But its also pentile and samoled which are both supposes to help battery life.

I love the phone, don't get me wrong, I just expected more screen on time. I am happy with battery drain while idle just not battery drain with the screen on.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xda1zero:
There are a tonne of things that will drain battery, it all adds up... with tweaks you could probably improve uptime. Have you looked at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Yeah I've used betterbatterystats and cpuspy. My issue is not with standby battery drain, its with battery while the screen is on. So the drain is coming from the battery required to power the screen or from the battery required for the CPU and gpu to run the apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryandelman:
If you keep this phone's screen on for much more than 3hrs, it's gonna die shortly thereafter. Bottom line, end of story.

Lots of people post incredibly outrageous battery stats ranging anywhere from 80% left after 12hrs off charge to phone holding a charge for 6 days. This is possible in the same sense that finding intelligent life on other planets in our lifetime is possible, but it's more than likely that people who experience these fantastic battery up times have every tweek known to man applied to reduce battery life when screen on, have brightness turned down to where it's like you're peering into a black hole when you look at the screen, and other things that are purposely aimed at saving battery life for its own sake, while degrading the quality of the UX. A lot of these folks (not all, but a lot) are the same types that live and die by benchmark tests (eyes rolling)... It's also usually the case that when you ask one of these people who gets other-worldly battery life that they use the phone as infrequently as possible. This is fine, but again all of this removes most of the real-world usability aspect from their experience.

I, probably like you, want to be able to use the phone for 5hrs+ screen time (off charge), but because of the Imax sized screen, that's just not gonna happen unless you go out and buy one of those extended batteries that will turn your already goliath phone into the smartphone version of a pregnant Andre the Giant.

Just my $.02 and rant.... lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
You're kind of missing my point. I'm saying that because of the size of our battery we should get 5+ hours screen on time. Yes the screen is big but its only 25% bigger than most phones. Something is causing the screen to draw too much power.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scythe024:
just because it is 25% bigger doesn't automatically mean 25% more drain and also I have seen a few people mention it is not a pentile display as they would not of purchased the phone if it was.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryandelman:
Nope, the battery is not "enough larger" proportionatly speaking to really even make this phone equal out in screen-on time with other smaller phones using smaller batteries that are in the Notes "class", such as GNex, Skyrocket, etc. The key here is the concept of proportion.

There's no "only" about 25% in terms of increase in screen real estate. That's a massive jump.

There are other threads discussing just this point

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
25% bigger screen should mean approximately 25% more drain. The fact that it is SAMOLED and Pentile should mean even LESS drain.

It is a pentile display, those people are wrong. Keep in mind that pentile on an SAMOLED screen is night and day different than the crappy pentile LCDs Motorola uses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yollasho:
Yes, because the Inspire and GNote are so similar hardware wise, that we can extrapolate the battery life from one to the other.

δ_δ

I'm not sure you understand how electronics work...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
The battery is twice the size of the Inspire. The screen is 25% bigger. Yet the screen on battery life is the same. That's an issue. You are wrong - there is an "only" in terms of screen real estate. 25% more screen should not result in 100% more battery drain.

Something is causing the screen to use a lot more power than it should. Maybe one day a motivated dev with the right kernel source can remedy that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yollasho:
I seriously doubt something is wrong.

What hardware does the GNote share with the Inspire...?

The hardware that it doesn't share, what are the spec differences?

You wanted a powerful device, and surprise, it requires more power.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Not to an exact degree but you can make decent estimates. All of these phones use very similar SOCs, so they ARE very similar hardware wise.

I have worked in the electronics and computer field my whole career. I plan power capacity for data centers in my sleep. I understand how this technology works, it is you who apparently does not.

It's not like we're comparing a TV to a phone, it's two phones with very similar internals. Pentile AMOLED is supposed to be a battery savings technology. However in our phone that is not occurring at all. Something is configured/programmed wrong. We should be seeing nearly twice the screen on time that we are.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
All Android phones have similar hardware. ARM processors, cell radios, etc. There's only a handful of SOCs with any real difference.

But anyway, the drain here is the screen, so none of that really even matters. Pentile AMOLED is supposed to be better on battery than regular LCD. However this phone with a 25% bigger screen is getting half the battery life. Even if our phone had a crappy LCD like the Inspire, but at 5.3", we should be getting better battery life than we are. Pentile SAMOLED should help it even more.

I suspect because the technology and screen size are still so new, Samsung has made some mistakes on the programming side and are drawing too much power. On my Inspire I saw lots of ROMs where the screen would draw significantly more or less power than stock. I'm not sure what the ROM developers tweaked, but some of the bad ROMs drew twice the power for the screen, whereas some of the good ROMs drew significantly less power. In all cases the images on the screen looked the same. Keep in mind for my comparisons in this thread I was comparing to stock Inspire ROM. Custom ROMs provided better screen on time because of less power drain from the screen.

It is possible to fix, it's just a question of what developer can figure out how.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
I'm not really sure just because something is 25% larger that it equates right across to 25% battery drain.

I'm not even sure if this is a good analogy but if you take say a race that someone has to run and make it 25% longer, it doesn't mean that it will add 25% onto their time because of stuff like extra fatigue and what not.

I'm getting between 4-5 hours of on screen time depending on what I'm doing with my phone. I'm on it all day long. Phones are so thin now that I wouldn't mind seeing them add a bit of thickness so they can stick larger batteries in the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
It's not just screen size but also resolution (i.e., pixel count) AND the type of screen.

The Inspire has an SLCD so you can't even directly compare it with the SAMOLED in the Galaxy note.

Furthermore, the Galaxy Note has 2.6 times the pixels of the Inspire (384,000 vs 1,024,000!).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
25% larger screen should equate to 25% more drain. Pentile and SAMOLED should reduce that number, not increase it as we are seeing.

Anyway, your analogy is flawed because phones do not get fatigued like a person does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cbass:
Volkswagen recommends I use 91 octane in my car, but I hear diesels get better fuel economies. I'm going to start using diesel in my car. More em pee gee's.

Seriously though, 3-4 hours of screen time is a lot. Are you watching movies? New experiment. I'm going to turn off the radio in my phone, plug in headphones and watch movies at 30% brightness (way brighter than one would use on a redeye flight) until it turns off. We will see how long it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Pixels do matter but not to the extent you are implying. Plus again we are talking power efficient pentile SAMOLED vs. non-power efficient LCD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
And you are wrong.

SLCD's are powered by a single backlight and have even power draw regardless of color (technically black uses a miniscule amount of extra).

AMOLEDS power each pixel individually so having more pixels is different from having a large backlight especially if you have the a lot of white. Furthermore, the driving circuits for more pixels also draw more power.

It's been demonstrated that AMOLEDS use more power than the same sized LCD when displaying pure white. So if you expect a MUCH DENSER and larger AMOLED to somehow not be a huge power draw you simply don't understand the technology.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
You're only providing a part of the story and omitting the most relevant parts. First of all samoled uses little or no power to display black, which is a hige battery savings. Secondly pentile display means less power draw.

I guess I made a mistake posting here as I assumed other people had an understanding of the topic. Maybe I will contact a dev directly who has an electrical background and an understanding of the technology.

In time we will probably see roms where the dev is able to cut down screen draw and we will see much improved screen on times. I will be sure to revive this thread when it happens so I can say I told you so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Yes, of course. A dual core phone clocked at 1.5 GHz with more RAM and onboard memory must surely use the same amount of power as a single core clocked at 1 GHz with less RAM and onboard memory. What was I thinking.

And LTE must surely consume the same amount of energy as faux 4G as well!

I bet the Adreno 220 in the GNote doesn't use any more power than the 205 in the Inspire, even though its driving some more pixels and can draw 2.4Gpixels/second vs the 205s 432million. I'm sure the clock speed difference of these doesn't matter at all either.

Yes, these phones are exactly the same, except for the physical size of the screen.

In time we will have ICS and kernel source, so we will obviously be able to tweak the profiles of everything and get better battery life. You're a wizard.

EDIT-And for the record, I agree battery life isn't great. I believe they didn't really try to optimize the brightness levels. For me, personally, the phone is much too bright in most dim/dark settings even on minimum brightness. I use Dimmer (Night Mode) from the Play Store to set the brightness down from samsung minimum 30 to 10, and find it bright enough for most use, including in the office. It is still too bright in a completely dark room though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
We're talking about screen power draw here not lte or CPU speed. Please pay attention to thr topic at hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scythe024:
This topic is getting all over the place. Im getting 2 1/2hrs on screen time with juice defender. Late is definitely part of the drain, the screen size is part of it, the resolution is part of it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Believe what you want. Amoled, pentile even, was proven to use about the same power as a same sized Slcd overall (the edge actually went to Slcd) when they had the Nexus One/Desire with Amoled and Slcd compared. I personally owned and saw the similarity. Super Amoled is brighter and tends to draw even more power. It hurts even more that webpages tend to be white backgrounded. Video playback on the Notes is usually measured at over 4 hours by review sites so that isn't too bad.

If you feel there's some kind of conspiracy or that everyone here is obviously stupid and only you know what you're talking about then perhaps there's no point in a one-sided discussion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cbass:
You realize that everything is run off one battery, right? Optimize everything and it will last longer.
