The update seems to be stuck at the part that says recovery.bin! Does this part of the process take a particular long time. I am freaking out right now! lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Sounds like you bricked your phone... No joke. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
You scared me! I unplugged, pulled battery, rebooted back into download mode, and ran odin as administrator. Seems to be working now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
I was two seconds away from flashing and decided to refresh thread one last time.

What's the current status? Screw it, flashing anyway, I'm too careful to have anything to worry about. Good luck, brother.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
Go for it. It worked. Just make sure you right click the file before and run it as administrator. That fixed my problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
I'm glad you weren't bricked. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Oh, lol I don't bother with a PC... a transfer cable just adds one more thing that may be broken and brake me.

I am happy to hear that you found some mortar though ;)

And btw, WTH WAS THAT!!! That upgrade was faster than neutrinos!!!

I have a problem to report though: I see no problems. This genuinely concerns me :p

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sponge66:
the same exact thing happen to me 2 weeks ago. Mine did it on the modem.bin... I did the same, unplugged and restarted the process.

Thx QB for your help :D

teeehehehe oops. I thought that I had it, too!

A word for the wise..don't try to force this ROM to play nice with NavBar quite yet unless you know your stuff :o

I really thought I had it, too... I don't even need it is what's funny. I have ButtonSavior Pro!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Yep, that is known, I was simply inquiring clarification of the posted info..

sj

Sent from my SGS2 Epic 4G Touch on AoKPm5 FE10 OS4.0.4 with dpi @ 128 using Tap@Talk 2.1 Pro
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Yea, sounds like most of us are holding off flashing till then too... :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
Too late, already flashed...LOL...damn, waiting for the new upload
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
These ICS builds aren't battery wise. Same setup as GB but 14 hours of juice less. The only way I can get more than 4.5hrs is barely using my phone WTF? :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
If you can't wait for FE16, KC leak the OTA a few hours ago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
FE14 have a huge bug/problem evrytime you open an installed app you can see briefly a black screen with a circle and Wait... word before app loads. Happens with every app installed except with some preinstalled/system apps. So weird I never saw that on any other build. Anyone notices it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Lol well my genius solution to a different problem maybe exactly what you need. Highjack the SprintInstaller. I have never in my life seen an OS of any nature performing like i have this going.. fastest and smoothest.. makes stock TW look like girly stuff... Apex is installed as launcher2...this is ridiculous.

I seriously doubt I'm "upgrading" ever again unless something epic happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robbyr:
I'm with ya'! This build rocks!

Oh wait, 16 is on the board. Dang it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
16...21....903842.. idc

I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to duplicate this.

Is this a tactic people use or no? The SprintInstaller that is. I'm pretty sure the apps that I have in there are so beyond untouchable... I'm running around a steady 300ish RAM and on the Antutu bench I got 6300 at 1000 Max.. I'm no expert but that seemed good.

And my Apex looks/feels like TW launcher.. but even faster somehow..and when I say looks I don't mean layout..I mean it has a beautiful smoothness to it.

I'm probably crazy and tired and what have you... but I'm blown away yet again by this phone..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I didn't notice this on FE14 nor on FE16, but maybe there is something else involved before it gets triggered?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
You know that my knowledge is limited, but this one was happening to me as well. I think this one is related adj. Mine went away after changing "HOME APP ADJ" from 1 to -10.

Please, if that's bad advice tell me and I'll delete it.

I was still on FE10 at the time, btw.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Call HTC. They're usually pretty good about giving you one free cover in instances like this. With the Inspire they would give you one free battery cover and one free sim/sd cover. I've read a few places they're doign the same with the Vivid and it's back cover

[HTC Sensation] gamer1291:
Hey guys i have been enjoying my rooted sensation with ARHD 6.6.4 rom and its working perfect but i only have one issue.

Is the memory usage always so high?

I used this app called Memory Booster Lite and it shows used memory 75% and free only 23 or 25% always no matter how many apps or services i close.

Is this normal and is there any way to improve free ram memory?.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Anything above 150 MB free memory is considered good in my books.

Most custom ROMs will get you between 200-250 MB free memory, which is normal.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You don't need to improve the amount of Free RAM you have at any given time. And your memory booster app is probably counter productive to achiving improved performance.

When you load an Android App, it will stay in RAM until something else needs that memory. It's not supposed to get dumped out of RAM just because you close the app.

If you have 100mb of RAM (using easy to work with numbers here) and an app takes 50 MB of RAM and anothe rapp takes 25MB of RAM, both apps will stay loaded in RAM so make them load quicker if you go to use them again. This saves load time and battery as the phone doesn't have to spend energy to transfer the app from storage back into RAM.

So in this scenario you'll have 25MB of RAM left.

Now say you want to load a 3rd app that takes 50MB of RAM. Obviously you don't have enough RAM to load it, so the system will now dump the other 50MB RAM user so it has room to load the new 50MB into RAM.

The system does it all for you natively so you don't need memory improvement apps. All they do it use up RAM permently (since they keep themselves in active memory and won't let themselves be killed) and use up extra battery power because they perform a task that will be performed again by the system later.

Android is very efficient at dumping apps form RAM when not in active use.

Over the course of a battery cycle you'll find that you use the same apps multiple times in a row. The phone app, text app, web browser app, etc are all things that you will use over and over and over. So rather than dumping these out of memory it keeps them so they load faster the next time. And it works VERY well. And it custom tailors itself to the user. If you never use the text app, but use Angry Birds all the time, Angry Birds will stick in RAM.
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Sense is a RAM hog. If you want more RAM use AOSP. Having said that, free RAM is wasted RAM.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
All of this. Every bit of it. I had to explain this to someone the other day who was hellbent on achieving MAXIMUM FREE RAM.
[HTC Sensation] gamer1291:
Wow thanks a lot for the explanation i really didnt know that.I got used to the pc ram optimizing hahahaha my bad.

so these apps android booster and memory booster shall i remove them all?

but apps running in background they dont drain ur battery?.

Like i am running music player and later i stopped it but its still there in process does it drain battery as long as its there in services?
[HTC Sensation] manishimo:
High Always

Memory free has always been low to about 215 MB max. If you really want you can freeze sense and use a basic launcher from the play store to increase memory by about 50-70 MB.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Memory free is about 300 MB with Virtuous Inquesition 4.0.2 for me!
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Yeah get rid of all that stuff.

And no, having an app loaded in RAM doesn't mean it's using processor power, which is what uses the battery. (Nor does it mean it's forcing the screen to stay on, which is your biggest battery drain)

Think of an app you just closed as a guy on a bus. He's just sitting there taking up a seat on the bus not bothering anyone. He doesn't weigh much compared to the bus itself so he's not decreasing the fuel efficiency of the bus. And when a little old lady needs to get on and have a seat, he'll gladly give up his seat for her and get off the bus....then patiently wait on the sidewalk for the next bus.

But as long as he's sitting on the bus quietly he's primed and ready to jump into the drivers seat if you need him to do so. Once he gets off the bus, it takes a second for him to reboard so he can drive.
[HTC Sensation] Rotundjere:
well, all of this is so wrong... (this maybe true if gingerbread, but not ICS)

Read here:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2012/03/30/learn-about-the-technical-differences-between-gingerbread-and-ics/

http://source.android.com/compatibility/4.0/android-4.0-cdd.pdf

ICS is designed for 1GB RAM devices (eg: Galaxy Nexus),

and ICS need at least 340MB for linux user space + hardware functions (eg: camera, modem) + 64-128mb max for each running application

so ICS will need more ram than GB. that's why I think 100-150mb free ram isn't enough on Sensation-ICS, especially if you run heavy games that consume very big memory
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
Maybe you forgot nexus s or some phone with 512MB, i use it on ics and still smooth and no problem with gaming.

Google never explain how much ram requirements to run ics they just said about STORAGE minimum is 1GB.

One of the improvement of ics is on memory management, we can call it ram management.

In eclair you have to use ram management apps to kill your background tasks in order to run heavy apps smoothly, but in gb google made some improvement on ram management so we dont need an app anymore.

In ics google improve memory management again, thats why even you playing heavy games then minimize it and open browser or something else, you dont feel laggy browsing or because system will kill the game, and you have to start from scratch if you open the game again.

And 768MB is enough for me to run shadow gun, x-plane, gta 3. :)

Do some research before you say something mate. :)

And for free ram, i can get 300MB on MIUI sense based, but i dont even care, just leave it let system do the job. :)

C'mon, we dont need 300MB (except for show off :p) what we need is smoothness and battery efficient. :)
[HTC Sensation] Twerkeologist:
I thought that they did have rom management in older android versions. If all recent apps stayed open then it would crash the phone because it couldnt handle the load. And apps have different API levels which decided what apps were killed, depending on the kind of app(which you could change with an app). Ics and jb just have a better from management system. Correct me if I'm wrong

And could I hear more about the extra RAM? :D
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
Thats what i mean, in eclair phone become laggy when opened a lot of apps, but fixed on GB and more optimized on ICS. :)
[HTC Sensation] Twerkeologist:
haha my bad. And is there really a 300mb ram hack in miui? This is the first I've heard of it
[HTC Sensation] chrisund123:
In linux, the expression goes "free RAM is wasted RAM." :D
[HTC Sensation] Rotundjere:
not true anymore, modern linux distro such as Fedora16 64-bit (kernel 3.x) only consume 320 MB of 8GB total RAM and 0 MB swap after start-up (no prefetch by default)

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

yes of course you can run on sensation, but the system must kill other app running on background (just like my old moto milestone with 256mb ram kill app very frequently including homescreen launcher and it's very slow to start an app).

Read again the official Android 4.0 Compatibility Definition document:

http://source.android.com/compatibility/4.0/android-4.0-cdd.pdf

http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...ical-differences-between-gingerbread-and-ics/

Do some research before you say something mate. :)

sure, nexus s meet the android 4.0 ccd because it has more than 340 MB RAM, but it struggle just like 512 MB sony devices

128MB is a MUST for each app, but have to adjust more if needed. So next year or two, all phone manufactures will not ship devices with 512MB anymore coz it's too slow & will kill app on background frequently (just like my old milestone)

if you're not developer you won't encounter about memory hungry app, currently I make 3D games on android and <512MB devices (such as xperia mini ics) will automatically exit, because my game take to much ram and probably draw calls (but run very well on my pc), optimization is the only solution (reducing vertices/poly & texture size)
[HTC Sensation] DonDizzurp:
haha.. you want more free memory? stop using a SenseUI rom...

trust me, youll get used to it. sense is nothing special after you get the full affect of an AOSP base

ALSO, just because memory is not free doesnt mean the memory isnt being allocated correctly. androids memory management is very intelligent. usually you dont need any task killers
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Up to a point but beyond a certain threshold too little ram can cause lag, look in the v6 supercharger thread for more info on this
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
You can easily reach 280MB free on MIUI sometimes 300MB. But c'mon, do you really need it?

Maybe 2 years later google will optimize more this beautiful os so it wont become recource hungry OS, do we really need smartphone with 4gb ram? So it will become so smooth.

Ive tried samsung GS advance and its smooth, maybe samsung do better job in term of software. :) but oh, i forgot GS advance still on GB :p
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
And i do some research before wrote all this, i used to developed some rom for Neo. :)

And c'mon what SE said about ICS is ****, even their GB is laggy, too much issue, and when ics come, some people including me trying to make it smoother. But still there is an annoying issue with video recording.

Ive readed the link. :)
[HTC Sensation] Rotundjere:
Bill Gates once said: "No one will need more than 637 kb of memory for a personal computer."

Yes, people need phone with more than 4GB RAM, read here ARMv8 64-bit

And please do some research before wrote all this. :laugh:

Hi people, i have a problem with my Note.

I just tried to send my first message after my note returned from service. I added my language(Greek) and i noticed a very very annoying issue.

When i write the second character of my sms the 160 character limit reduces to 70.

Does anyone know what the hell is wrong? I have seen this issue before on a different phone, but with my note i never had this issue until now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abagnale:
You are probablly using some greek character o something like that which is reducing the limit. It is the same when I'm usin polish letters like: "ś" or "ć"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
I found the culprit!

My firmware is czech, so i figure it must be some sort of setting.

I read on the internet that encoding of the letters is what occupies more space and this gave me an idea.

i went to sms app, pushed the menu soft button and entered "settings", then i went to "input mode" and checked the setting, it was on automatic.

I tinkered a little bit and i finally changed the setting from automatic to "GSM alphabet".

Problem solved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujal:
Good that it's solved but I had a same problem when I was using BlackBerry Curve 9300. Each message could only contain just 70 characters. It was annoying as 'you know what'! :P

Another Fix

install GO SMS Pro,

go to GO SMS Pro settings --> Advanced --> Send&Receive Settings --> scroll down --> select Split large messages check box --> scroll down --> Select Enable customized SMSC --> Customized SMSC number --> enter your service providers SMSC number.

you can find SMSC numbers for operators in the following link

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zahid Gill:
It is not about the characters. Its about Korean phone SMS limit on GSM. It must be done within the ROM. GoSMS or any app will not be able to bypass the system's limit
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loukiack:
problem solved indeed! except now greek are stuck in CAPS mode and cannot change it no matter what. Grrrrrr samsung xcover 2 and android 4.1.2 JB......any other ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkonc:
It's an encoding problem

The message size limit for sms is 140 (8-bit) bytes. Normal encoding is a modified 7-bit ASCII ('English'). If you do the math, that gives you the regular 160 character limit. Some less common ASCII characters get encoded as two 7-bit characters.

Outside of that, your ENTIRE message is encoded as 16 bit Unicode.. thus the 70 character limit.

If your phone starts in Unicode, then you are stuck with the 70 character limit.

My phone starts in 7-bit mode and only switches to Unicode If I go outside the 7-bit character set, so I get 160 characters per message unless I use "weird" characters like "ç", "è" or "¤").

Nope.

This is still the best bang for your buck phone right now. Underwhelmed by the SGIII. We didn't even think this phone would be out until June. I see no reason.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coolblue830:
If you preordered from a reseller that gave you a discount for preordering, there's probably no reason to cancel unless you are changing your mind on the device altogether and getting something else right now.

If you are still sticking to the HTC ONE X or EVO LTE then you might risk losing the $$$ discount from the reseller preorders. No guarantee that the resellers will still offer below sprint's $199 after release. If you're ordering from amazon, you're still getting some freebies, and Best Buy has those tradein deals going on.
