Yeah. All phones aren't the same sadly. If it makes you feel any better, I've been running the kernel for almost 100 hours straight and no issues. Before, every time I hit about 95 hours up time the damn thing would freeze with the UV settings. So I'm still running the test but so far so good on my end.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KillBorn07:
Looks like the problem is solved. After several voltage settings, I had to return to default Nexus S voltages, even on 1Ghz. The reboot during boot disappeared.

I lost the UV:(, but I gained OC:cool:, now stable on 1.2GHz/1350mv/1150mv. And battery is still good, hope it will remain that way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirpi:
Did you change the INT VOLT settings first? Or did you revert all to the stock levels.

I suspect reverting only INT VOLT to the Stock levels will fix those problems. If anybody is willing to try that would be nice :)) (I only experienced reboot once with default Matr1x values so no point in my trying)

Hey guys!

Ive read a lot across the forums and now i am a bit confused what is the best and safest way to revert back from Stunner to GB.

Because the LP6 Kernel is based on ICS chineese leak it is affected by the super brick bug right?

I did never flash a repack with leaked bootloaders in advance.

So far i figured out that te best way to avoid a brick may be

- go into cwm and then flash abyssnote 3.9

- reboot into recovery and wipe/factory reset

- flash GB rom

Is this method safe? And where can i find a cwm flashable stock gb rom?

thx!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
yes you can either do that via abyss

or if you have a stock gb rom, you can pc odin back to gb as well :)

cheers!

sorry it was for stock ICS to GB.

Download mode and pc odin works fine to :-) just dont check clear efs and repartition.

Repartion you can check if you select pit file that corresponds with your phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ashwinsrihari:
Hi, folks

These are tips for improving the battery life of your SGS2 :

1.Set the wallpaper , with dark or black images

Use autobrightness or set the brightness to 10%

2.When you are not using data , please turn it off . Using 3G data will suck lots of juice !!

On the other hand Wifi doesn't suck so much juice

Now the next steps are the most important

3.Please do keep charging between very short intervals ,

Let the battery charge drop to 5-10% then charge till it reaches 100% , this will considerably , increase your battery life .

4.Do not let your phone keep charging even after it reaches 100%.

This will damage the battery .

Actually when your phone shows that it has been fully charged (100%),it has only been charged for 95% , so plug in for a few more minutes ,for some extra juice .:p

5.Do not install lots and lots of unused and useless apps ,as they will not only occupy memory , but will also suck the juice out of your phone !!

6.Delete unused widgets from home screen

7.Close unwanted apps running in the background.

Go to task manager and press the ,'clear memory' button frequently .

8.Do not use the charger of other mobile phones , even if they have the same pin ,as this will slowly damage the battery ;)

9.Use only original Samsung battery made for your SGS2 , duplicate or other battery will not only be waste of money , but will also damage your phone !!

10.Sugesstion are welcome , you can posted it , so that i can add it !!

11.If you know a few extra tips , please post it or PM me :)

12.If you like this tread please rate it !! :)

13.Please press the thanks button , if you like this post and if i helped increase the battery life of your SGS2 :D

These things helped me improve the battery life of my SGS2 ,I hope it also help you considerably increase the battery life of your SGS2 too :)

Cheers ,

You're in the wrong forum, we don't have the i9100

and half that info is wrong
[Galaxy S III General] MarkieSA:
Don't know how accurate this is.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...m-beating-iPhone-4s-4m.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
[Galaxy S III General] Sir-Awesome:
It IS the most fastest electronic device to be sold in history.

With all the hype with Samsung they will.

And from each generation of the Galaxy S series, they've always gotten significantly better.

Hopefully iPhone 5 doesn't take over, but I know that they won't stand a chance against the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] MarkieSA:
Apple must be sitting back watching all of this thinking that they better pull something extraordinary out of the bag. Apple will no doubt be suing the pants off Samsung to coincide with the release of the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] AyeGee:
I'm buying it on the release day, but I haven't pre-ordered it.
[Galaxy S III General] vapotrini:
Wow, some of you really need to relax with the hate.

Honestly, do you want to know what the absolute best scenario is? For Apple to come out and blow the doors off of the GS3. Why? Competition. Without it, we wouldn't even be here to begin with. The SG1 doesn't exist without the I-phone. If Samsung has no competition, why exactly should they strive to improve?? They definitely wouldn't. So stop rooting for either one of them... and start rooting for your pocket.

At the end of the day, neither of them really care about you. So stop "celebrating" like you have something tangible to gain. You don't. You're merely a statistic. End of story.
[Galaxy S III General] sjdean:
I wonder how many of us have pre-ordered from different places? And not only that, people have pre-ordered both variants just in case of delays, and all memory sizes just in case.

So 9 million could well turn into only an actual 4.5 million phones based on colour alone.

[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
The same can be said about of most of the popular releases, so even the 4million that the iPhone got could easily be 2 million :-)

Absolutely,that is true.
[Galaxy S III General] djsaad1:
First, I think this is a bunch of hype and probably overly exaggerated. If there were 9 million pre orders, wouldn't you expect just a little more people on this forum. Both the htc one x and gs2 forums on xda seemed to be more populated before their releases than this forum. Also, I know I live in the U.S. were the phone technically wasn't announced yet, but I only know of one person maybe two outside of the online forums that even knows about this phone. When the iphone 4s was announced almost everyone I knew was talking about.

On the apple talk, did apple ever have a global release? I am pretty sure apple preorder numbers are only on U.S. based customers but I could be wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] Deliximus:
because this forum represents <1% of users. and people come here after release looking for softmods.

[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
I find this hard to believe. If a new iPhone is coming out, everyone starts talking about it months before. When a new Samsung phone is coming out, only geeks like us talk about it. I haven't heard any buzz about SGS 3.

Yeah because everybody in the world flocks to XDA.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Totòòò:
No but $800 smartphone only tech addicts buy
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
The "pre-orders" are from carriers and resellers and are stretched out over a year. With the SGS2 selling 20MM copies to

not

have 10MM pre-orders for the SGS3 would be shocking. Samsung UK's said customer pre-orders are "in the thousands." But the UK carriers all confirmed it's the most pre-ordered device they've sold.

To put the SGS2's success and SGS3's potential in perspective, here's some statistics. In 2011 there were 488MM smartphones sold worldwide. Samsung sold 20MM SGS2's. That means the SGS2 made up 4% of 2011 global smartphone sales. There were 54MM iPhone's sold which represents 11% of the market. So 85% of the world bought something other than the two most hyped and recognized smartphones on the market.

And comparing the SGS2 against Samsung's total sales is interesting. They sold 90MM smartphones in 2011. With 20MM SGS2's sold, 78% of the smartphones they sold weren't SGS2s.

If the SGS3 doubles in sales (which is lofty) over the SGS2 it'll still be behind the iPhone (which itself will grow in sales) and have 8% of the market in 2012; meaning 92% of smartphone buyers will buy something other than the SGS3.

Samsung’s numbers are impressive and they and Apple share 90% of mobile device profit between them. But clearly the sun doesn't rise and set based on a single device; no matter how good it is. There's a reason for the Galaxy Y and One V which will outsell the SGS3 and One X by a large margin.
[Galaxy S III General] teacherttom:
love the S3 But

There is always going to be a debate between apple and samsung, but I for 1 believe in the competition aspect of it also, I just hope that apple comes out with something that is going to challenge samsung and vice a versa the only winners here r us

[Windows 8 General] Assembly Language:
I dont know y microsoft gave a desktop in widows 8 when you can do everything in the start menu?:confused:
[Windows 8 General] derpotato:
they made it so the old user won't have problems fitting themselves to the new UI.

and it's made so pc user can use W8 correctly (no too damn big buttons)
[Windows 8 General] moutansos:
They did it so Windows 8 can run older windows apps as well as metro apps.
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
exactly, it was for backward compatibility with older versions of Windows. But truly the metro screen is just a new incarnation of the start menu.
[Windows 8 General] robotnikman:
So does that mean windows 8 still has a regular desktop? also is it possible to install windows 8 on tablets, thats what it seems like its meant for
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
i could have sworn that I answered almost the exact same question the other day....

Windows 8 does have desktop

Windows (8) RT does not, that is the ARM fork of windows, or at least that is what we believe to be the case

you can install Windows 8 on a tablet based on x86,

Tablets based on ARM can not be installed, or at least that is what MS intends, it might be possible but out of the box Windows RT isn't a retail product.
[Windows 8 General] TheATHEiST:
For the same reason why it has a desktop in Win7!?!

What a ridiculous question.
[Windows 8 General] bluerain28:
Hmm, as I've observed. Maybe that's one thing that makes Win8 boot more faster.
[Windows 8 General] Garockt:
Yep, I think they did it because if the left it out, all the old windows Users would miss it and won't use W8, and since it is aviable, users that don't like the Metro theme, can use the old Desktop..

But I don't like it at all! Maybe on a TouchPad, or a Notebook with Touchscreen.. But for usual Desktops and Laptops the new metro theme in W8 is not a very good solution.

I don't like all that Touch-Stuff (You can see that in thr "new" Ubunu, too), since i'm using a regular Laptop & Desktop without any Touch screens.. They could implement for example something like scrolling by moving the cursor to the side of the screen, to make it more comfortable for users like me..

I think I'll stay on Win7.. Updating is too expensive anyway :rolleyes:.
[Windows 8 General] Tzizzel:
Without a desktop everything would need more time. Like to copy a text from the "internet explorer" to a word document.
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
How so? Metro does have context menus. The multitasking needs a little work (Apps repeatedly restart on me when I switch to them) but it takes the same amount of time. If you think otherwise you're a tiny bit delusional. You have to focus the app anyway (even in desktop), right click and press paste, or if you use keyboard shortcuts, use them. Same amount of time really.

Also,.user two posts above, they DO scroll by moving the mouse top the side of the screen. ;-)
[Windows 8 General] TheAtheistOtaku:
because metro sucks if you have a gaming rig and non touch screen
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
Disagree, I play games with Windows 8 on my NetBook and they play fine, I also have attached a keyboard, mouse and monitor to it and it was still alright to use.
[Windows 8 General] Dri94:
Think about trying to be a programmer on metro. Its a big pain, desktop is never going to fade unless major editors and compilers find some way to make it more convient on metro, which i doubt since you have the constant need to quickly switch between programs and explorer windows
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
I doubt it will be that hard. Would love to try writing code inside metro, compilers won't need metro equivalents though only editors (SciTe, VS, etc.) but either way, people are missing the point of metro which is not to replace the standard desktop, but replace the start menu and enhance the desktop.
[Windows 8 General] pbassjunk:
No, Microsoft is trying to replace the standard desktop.

The main reason for thinking this.. they are trying to do away with the file/object system that computers have been based on for just about forever. They are pushing towards a data-driven interface. The two don't mesh well, which is why windows 8 is a mess of different methodologies.

It really all has very little to do with touchscreens and such. Touch is just the current and most obvious way of interacting with data.
[Windows 8 General] Dri94:
Switching between browser, text editor, eclipse (just as an example) and such take longer when using the metro way [moving mouse to topleft waiting for thing to pop up and then selecting], each time. thats all i mean
[Windows 8 General] jvbferrer:
Agree with that. Only the action of shutting down the computer is slower than in Windows 7. You have to wait the bar to pop up, then select settings, and then shut down instead of moving quickly the mouse to the bottom left corner, click on Start button and press Shut down.
[Windows 8 General] lovenokia:
I have always used multitasking keys to switch apps, so there is no difference in speed, but win8 seems snappier.
[Windows 8 General] nips_uk:
Also disagree. I play alsorts of games on my tablet and have had no problems. I will admit that without a touch screen you loose alot of fun from Windows 8, but if you are a serious gamer like me, Windows 7 ultimate x64 is for gaming, windows 8 x64 is for work/living room/bedtime/keeping the wife quiet :p
[Windows 8 General] Pasquiindustry:
At the moment, the MetroUI, can not replace the desktop, on a desktop computer,

Would be useless, for example, applications such as those of the current 'Office and Adobe. When, later, desktop computers will become much less at the expense of powerful Tablet PC, then you can start thinking about removing or drastically reduce the desktop.

In my opinion, the desktop interface for Windows 8 is more complete than that of Windows 7
[Windows 8 General] lovenokia:
there will be touchpads with updated drivers and gestures for windows 8 that will make it way more easy to use, and upgrading to windows 8 will only be 40$.
[Windows 8 General] willwgp86:
I'm with you, it seems very pointless to have some nice pretty GUI that eventually leads into the desktop. But they wanted to be different. It baffles me!
[Windows 8 General] MaSmBx:
Yep, and they just made it less user friendly with Windows 8. Multitasking is really bad on Windows 8!
[Windows 8 General] damian_zet:
it would be a better decision to give 2 version of windows 8 with desktop and witchout
[Windows 8 General] gamo84:
Hehe you are the first who say he don't need classic desktop. :)

But let me explain that just short...

I think there is some thing that we must use classic desktop, because the "new start menu" is more than you think. What you see is just a start menu but there is a lot of things under the hood.

It's a very new and very different mechanism for applications.

While we need compatibility, Windows must include classic desktop.

The only reason for tablets and phones doesn't include the old desktop, is the fact, small devices have'nt got enough power to run our classic applications, so Windows RT and Windows Phone shall'nt include the classic desktop.
[Windows 8 General] k2filter:
I, gonna ask the same question again, one single core 1.4/1.5Ghz ARM processor is capable of running a 1080p video at 30FPS,but a single core 3.4GHz but dual threaded(as I have been told) intel processor is not capable of processing a 1080p video.

BTW: changing classic desktop environment is a brave move, better said blind(but well pre-jugded) move. MS and Unix variants are leading the way, OSX still far behind. Aren't they feeling creative anymore or is there "something" else.

anyway, I have no idea how bad/ugly/difficult/poor usercentric is it, but I am falling in love with this metro UI. :cowboy:
[Windows 8 General] Droff:
Wrong. Old (classic) applications simply were not compiled to run on ARM processors.

In general video decoding is GPU dependent. I have no clue how that 3.4Ghz system was configured, but generally even low-end x86 systems are still very capable.

I have 1.5ghz snapdragon tablet that can't play many 720p files smoothly and skips frames, but older 1.6ghz Single core Atom (slower than 3.4ghz Pentium D) netbook does much better job with the same content.
[Windows 8 General] k2filter:
Correct me if I am wrong. as far as I know Atom processors are 64 bit or 86-extended 64.

A Qualcomm Snapdragon / CPU 1 GHz Scorpion with adreno 205 GPU (xperia arc) fully capable of playing back 720p even on an external 21" display, without a single frame drop.

What files do miss frames? would you please be specific about their details(codecs/bitrate etc etc), I'll check them. What brand of tab is your's?

NO. a single core 32 bit IA-based clssical processor is not capable of handling 1080p video playback. I have no idea how an old P4 would react with a 512MB DDR2/300MHz GPU but I gonna give it a try and let you know the results.

[Windows 8 General] zeealpal:
No need to hold.

Just to say, you don't need to wait for the thing to pop-up, move your mouse to the corner and down immediately, then the running apps menu will appear instantly.

Also running apps on the task bar are still there...? IE/Chrome are Desktop applications (or have desktop versions) appear in task bar. I'm sure your not using Notepad (or whatever :P) in Metro... so its on the task bar as well. So really it would only take longer to switch if your using a Metro Development App. But the side menu is quite fast.

Alt-Tab still works as well, and you can switch with mouse then too if your wish.

What surprised me most about Windows 8, was that it didn't slow down my use of my PC.
[Windows 8 General] Mohamed.Anwar:

[Windows 8 General] Droff:
My netbook is Dell mini 9 with n270 1.6Ghz 32bit atom.

It sure depends on the video format, codecs and bitrate. I just shoved some files that I had and tested playback in different players. Don't remember details and too lazy to do it again. Sorry.

I have HTC Flyer with 1.5Ghz cpu. No it is not capable of playing some files.

Will be actually interesting to compare to single core ARM cpu. Not interested enough to actually go and try it, but would love to see a result.
[Windows 8 General] phailyoor:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkubus77:
Hello everybody!

First of all - i'm aware that this post would fit better to the development section. (Best of all to the concerned thread). But as newbies (also if they've followed this forum passively for ages) aren't allowed to post there I use this thread for describing this issue.

I use the last (20120519) CM9-Build by epsyslon on my defy (kernel 2.6.32.9) and experience the following issue: Apps (as the system-Info itself or f.e. navigon and all others) are NOT able to read my IMEI. The code +#06# prompts just the word "IMEI" with an empty number field. This is relevant as some apps (as Navigon) try to read the IMEI for copy preoterction reasons and won'T start without the proper one.

Still (and here it gets funny) I can logon to my GSM-Network and make calls without any problems (which wouldn't work without IMEI, right?).

How I installed cm9: (as described in the faq):

- Wiped everything to the sheer bone (Cache, factory reset, dalvik cache)

- Installed cm9[and so on].zip (Defy, not Defy+!)

- Installed the froyo-Kernel (also tried without thist step - IMEI is there, but everything gets REALLY laggy - obvioulsly)

- Installed gapps (last one!)

- Rebootet, enjoyed the boot screen for a while, everything is fine except the IMEI.

In case this should be a bug it shouldn't get a high priority as everything else works fine (for a nightly)

Anyway - did anyone experience this issue himself? Any solution?

Thanks and greeting from a terribly hot and humid Berlin!
