I've been searching but haven't found what I need.

Yesterday I was playing a game and my phone froze so I did a hard reboot. I was at 77% before the reboot. After the phone turned back on I was all the way down to 41%. During this time my phone was running very hot. In fact it ran hot all day at work and wouldn't charge. After the first battery pull, the battery dropped I did a third battery pull and things turned back to normal.

I'm running Blend 7.1 with the FD02 kernel and FD19 Modem. Going to update my kernel tomorrow. I just switched back from AOSP. This has happened to me in the past as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Our phone anticipates battery drain. I've had the reboot battery drop, but despite the lower percentage, the battery drains slowly and increases during sleep.

You're not actually losing battery capacity; the OS is anticipating quicker loss and reflects as much with a lower percentage

Awesome. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that I had done wrong.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaloyanBeshev:
Hi, everyone,

I have a a Star lt18i phone(Arc S clone) with MT6573 cpu.

The problem is, that it constantly restarts when trying to do something. Not sure if the problem is connected with the SD card(bought a second one, from another manufacturer - both are 4GB MicroSD C4) :confused: . I just really like the phone and don't want to buy another one, but couldn't figure out the problem :o .

Also, I saw this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386378 - will the custom roms for the X18 work on my phone?

Thank you in advance for your answers :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adielee:
I'm guessing there will be more updates/builds in the future just like GB.

Wouldn't expect an update for a while though as there are still models to be updated to ICS like the Xperia S which they are working on, and the fact that there are no major issues with the current release.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AZ FadeOut:
Alright so being the tech-nut that I am, I have an off the wall question, which, appears to be unanswered from my searching.

I've rooted plenty of android devices in my day, but I've never actually known how root is gained, or how tools like the Nexus tool kit obtain it. My question is...what do these tools do in order to gain root? AKA, how is it done? Hope that makes sense! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
Probably a question that most people don't know the answer to lol.

But to my understanding, root is achieved when you find the exploit in the system. I dunno, that's my guess lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AZ FadeOut:
I kinda felt weird asking this because I didn't know if it was obvious, But my curiosity intrigued me!

That's kinda what I thought, but I guess I've just always been curious!

I've been told by one of my friends who has the verizon version that the toolkit basically flashes an unlocked image of the stock rom and then installs super user. Not sure how true it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There is no exploit required on a Nexus. You just unlock the bootloader (1 command line prompt) and push the SU binary to the phone, then push superuser.apk to the phone, and grant it SU access. Done.

The only way you needed an exploit for is if you were on 4.0.2 and didn't want to unlock your bootloader (which wiped the device). There was an exploit to root w/o unlocking first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Just to add to what martonikaj said:

"Rooting" or gaining root user access to the Android OS is essentially placing 2 file (with the correct permissions) in the system partition: the su binary, which actually grants root access, and a Superuser app, which acts as kind of a firewall, filtering root access requests.

The trick, however, on most devices, is getting write access to the system partition (which is read-only by default). Devices with locked bootloaders require an exploit of some sort to enable "temporary root access" to make /system rw.

Given that all Nexus devices have unlockable bootloaders, an exploit is not really necessary. With an unlocked bootloader, we can flash a custom recovery like CWM, and then flash the two required files via the recovery. Done.

OK guys, so far, we have spammed LG Facebook Page, Optimus 3D YouTube videos and done som good things.

[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
cool_recep please cool down (pun intended) :)

We are all on the same boat regarding the ghost call issue. By being sarcastic or attacking xda members here, it won't solve anything.

There are some points to look with (any) twitter campaign:

- Far less people have a Twitter account compared to FB

- A twitter campaign would be successful if a phone was really popular (like iPhone or SG2). Unfortunately the O3D is not.

- Even if O3D was popular there is no way to make #ghostcall TT on Twitter. Except if it was something like #ghostcall_bieber. Only hashtags with Justin Bieber become TT. :)
[LG Optimus 3D] cool_recep:
Oh god. So we need Bieber's help to get this problem solved :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
It's as simple as you think. Add a new case (removing the HSPAP case from the existing one) and use syntax as per the code snippet above. You'll need add the drawable or reuse an existing one. Keep the 'else' condition as well for fallback.

I'd reuse an existing drawable first (even a random WiFi or roaming one) just to check that your actual smali edit is good, then trace back the drawable requirements and add the image. You'll need to update the string as well if you want it distinguishable (wherever it's used).

If the edit is really a dud apktool will throw errors when you re-encode it.

[General Questions and Answers] sawihsiwi:
I own a VZW Galaxy Nexus and I am new to the entire ROM/kernel business and so far have only flashed MoDaCo custom ROM (IM776D), AOKP, and LiquidSmooth v 1.35.

I really like Liquid but my main problem is language support (need Hebrew fonts) and problems with Bluetooth. Well, at least these are the only problems I experienced.

I would like a recommendation for a good stable ROM which has the following, by importance:

1. Language support (Hebrew)

2. Smooth, quick UI

3. Customizing ability as in Liquid

4. Improved battery life

Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated and if you have a certain ROM kernel combination that would do the job, please keep in mind that I am an noob.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mattmonkey24:
hey guys! i got the skyrocket as a christmas present along with an otterbox case. i have this theory that otterbox cases make the phone pretty hard to break so we went to the park with a three-man water balloon slingshot and put my phone in it while recording. we shot it up and it landed in a pile of wood chips (around a tree). i picked up the perfectly fine phone and every works perfect except the camera.

i can take pictures/videos but when i press the preview box to see them, it says "No Items" but the weird thing is the amount of time i can video tape goes down.

it was saving to my sd card, but neither saving to my phone or sd card works. the gallery worked this morning (and i uploaded the video), but after a reset it doesn't work again. :mad:

a full phone wipe is NOT an option until i can back up my phone with my pictures which could be tomorrow morning

i can't post the video because i am too new to the form :( but after 8 posts maybe you guys could see it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
I'm sorry, but that was a very stupid thing to do... just saying.

Now as for your problem. If it won't save, that's not a hardware issue. That's a software issue.

Have you tried viewing the photos/videos through the gallery app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mattmonkey24:
i know it was stupid, and i will never do it again, even though my phone is almost fine.

as for the gallery, here is how it goes. when i first went to gallery almost everything loaded, then i pressed back and reloaded and less and less appeared until only instagram photos, which continue to stay. this morning gallery and camera worked perfectly until i turned my phone off for a test

thanks for the quick reply and maybe a full reset would be the only answer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
Yeah. That is definitely software. Very strange though...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] meet2x4:
No I wouldn't dream of putting it in a slingshot lolz. It also may be worth it to try another micro sd card if you have one. Could be a corrupt sd? There's a few fixes out there for this, just do a generic google search for the problem. Hope the factory reset works out for yah.

Hey all i flashed marvel rom 2 days bak..evrythin is gng well except the battery... it drains out pretty fast...can any one suggst me a. Battry calibratr fr this phne plz?
[LG Optimus Black] verszipo:
Camera calibration doesn't work as in it doesn't do anything to improve your battery life.

The only way to improve battery life is to use apps that don't sync constantly, use a ROM that doesn't drain your battery and don't use Facebook or similar as they run in the background constantly and try to update which of course "eats" your battery (or at least disable their update feature).
[LG Optimus Black] ronit003:
Bt in respct of bttry wich is bettr..zeus or marvel??
[LG Optimus Black] verszipo:
I never used Marvell so i can't say which is better (in battery life).

I do know that for me, with normal use (and most updates for apps disabled or set th update less often, for example every 3-4 hours instead of 15-30 minutes), with Zeus 6.22 and normal usage i get about 1.5-2 days of use with one charge.

I tried Cyanogen 7 and with that i never managed to get 1 day or more of use, only about 18-20 hours from 1 charge, didn't play with Cyanogen 9 (ICS) since it's not stable yet.

You could of course try them out yourself and see which you like more.

For example install one of them, then make a backup (from the Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery), after that try the other and if you don't like it all you have to do is do a restore from CWM and you're back to the previous version.

You should try to use the ROMs for at least 3-4 days (preferably a week) before deciding if you like it or not, of course, if it keeps crashing then you're probably better of trying another ROM :)

P.S. don't forget to clear cache/dalvik cache and preferably clear data (factory reset) when installing different ROMs, or you'll have all kind of nasty surprises (crashes, battery draining faster than normal, Force Closes (FC), ...)
[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration

This is the app that everyone should use after flashing new rom. I always use it and helps in improving battery life. I always use rooted ziplined stock rom and just freeze unwanted apps using titanium backup app this way i get good battery life and most stable rom for OB.
[LG Optimus Black] verszipo:
All the "Battery Calibration" app does is remove the batterystats.bin file which contains the information shown in Settings->About phone->Battery use.

The batterystats.bin file has NO AFFECT in the actual life of the battery, it's just information shown and nothing more.

More info HERE and HERE

I'm thinking that if a GOOGLE ENGINEER who worked on the Android development team says that deleting that file doesn't improve battery life then he/she might be right (after all, he/she knows more about the device than me :p)

But of course, the PLACEBO effect works for some, so if you feel better installing hundreds of programs that claim to improve your battery, well, be my guest, just know that many actually use more battery than they "save" :p

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
I searched around for a fix, but nothing I have tried so far has worked.

I am running CM A3, FD19 Modem, and the FD19 kernel. The ROM runs like a dream; much better than I was expecting. There are, however, a couple of major issues I am having.

The dialer codes are screwed (such as *#*#8778#*#* and *#*#INFO#*#*), stopping me from doing any kind of service programming on my SPH-D710 (I flashed the phone from Sprint to MetroPCS.) That being said, I cannot get mobile data because I cannot edit any of the settings on the phone, including my APN (supposedly due to a mismatch with build.prop? That's what I dug up, at least.)

I would love to be able to continue using CM9, but I cannot be without mobile data. Any ideas?

I would have posted in the Dev section, but I am under my 10 posts.

Much thanks in advance!

So I flashed my nandroid backup...

I wiped the cache and performed a reset. I restored my nandroid backup of my previous setup using AnaKonda ROM v.1 using the FC24 kernel and the FC22 Modem. I am having the same exact issue as with CM9. When use ##3282# and go to edit any of the settings, I get a modem error. I am totally stumped. Please help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
I thought you couldn't edit modem settings from CM ROMs. You have to use Touchwiz-based ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I thought your changes would have to be made through software and not directly on the phone, QPST I believe. Also your question is in the right place since you would of gotten lit up if you put this in development. Have you tried using the software recommended in so many convert to MetroPCS threads?

edit: Just saw that you do have to do those codes on one tutorial but I know I seen other tutorials that were more software driven... Hope you get it done Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Mobile data is back!

In order to use QPST or CDMA tools, the phone has to have UART and USB set to Modem, which when I try to change these settings from PDA it doesn't stick.

I honestly wouldn't know one way or the other. I can VIEW those settings as if I was on a TW ROM so long as I don't need to enter my MSL. I have the correct MSL, the sofware just won't progress any further.

Mobile data is now working! I used Calkins Format all, wiped the cache, dalvik cache, and /Data. I then restored my nandroid backup, wiped the cache and dalvik-cache again, followed by flashing the FD19 AOSP Kernel.

After a good power cycle, it work, and the data speeds are reporting twice as fast as they were before from speedtest.net.

I would like to be able to set my phone back to modem, but I won't be greedy. Thanks for the help!
