Wifi use less batt
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperken:
Wifi saves more battery than 3g.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLaurent:
yes I agree Wifi drains less battery than 3G if you have a good wifi connection, but not if your phone is scanning for new wifi connection when you travels.

To be clearer, wifi is the best option at home or hotel room compare to DATA transfer (3G).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eborg:
Thanks, I always thought that 3G needs more battery juice. Every day you learn something new. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandmixed:
Damn me to i always taught 3g would use less. Thr note battery still needs to be inproved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugspine:
But if you are at home , WIFI is on and the screen off - actually this happens the most time.

I marked the option in the advanced WIFI-settings that turns the WIFI off when the screen is off.

What happens then? Does it do all network stuff with the 3G connection or is there a WIFI-wakelock for apps like Whatsapp?

If it uses the 3G network would't it be better to change to 2G?

Iam not sure this helps something but iam acutally doing it like this. Always on 2G (because at home and at work i have WIFI) and only when i need 3G when iam not in a WIFI-Network range i switch to 3G.

Does someone know how Android works?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danteoo7:
Wifi is always better than 3g

Saves battery

saves money

And in many cases faster speed than 3g

So I will go with wifi

Hi everyone,

Today we have a one click root tool and an unbloat tool. Both work very well and I in no way take credit for these tools.

First off is SimpleTool by hbwelch.

This tool creates a one click bootloader unlock, root, and clockworkmod CWM recovery.

It works great and I have tested all three functions.

Download: AcerA200 SimpleTool V2

The unbloat tool by Toffy seems to work well. I do have a hand full of apps that still refuse to let me remove them but at least we can get rid of most of it.

I was told this link was not in my best interest to be hosting so it has since been taken down

These developers can be found at the Acertabletforum website.

Thank you to hbwelch and Toffy for your work!

[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
The "Unbloat" tool has a bunch of copyrighted APKs in it. It's probably not allowed here on XDA
[Acer Iconia A500] Wetzel402:
I would say if anything it is questionable ground. The tool is only trying to remount the apps so they can be removed. It isn't exploiting the copyrighted material.

Can .apks even be copyright protected?
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Download the tool zip and you'll see that the actual APKs are in there. The tool /should/ just move them via ADB. It would make for a tiny download too
[Acer Iconia A500] Wetzel402:
That would make more sense. I didn't create the tool though. Until I am certain the tool is against XDA policy I will keep it available. I don't believe there is anything wrong legally with simply having the APK. If that were the case Titanium Backup could also be in the wrong by backing up your system apps to a user accessible location.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Well no Titanium doesn't break any laws because it doesn't upload your APKs to rapidshare:P

I don't mind the tools being available but I wouldn't want you being banned for trying to help either :P the mods can get quite pedantic sometimes. I've already had a week's ban and I didn't even upload anything illegal to xda. I think I posted a link to a forum that was deemed bad. Lolol
[Acer Iconia A500] Wetzel402:
I hear they frown upon linking to other forums. I think I will just take your advice and take it down. It doesn't work 100% anyway. :highfive:

[Acer Iconia A500] Wetzel402:

I recommend heading to the acertabletforums and reading up on how to unlock the bootloader (which is super easy), flash a recovery, and install a rooted ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] slick97477:

As stated above, please head over to the acertabletforums to read about unlocking the bootloader, flashing a recovery, and flashing a rooted ROM.

The process is fairly straight forward and will allow you a lot of freedom with your device.

Every time I try to type anything, whatever app I'm using immediately crashes. This happens no matter what keyboard I use (I've tried Samsung Keyboard, ICS Keyboard, and Hacker's Keyboard). Any idea what's going on?

I've noticed the same issue on GT-P5100 Android v4.0.3

Hi Maca, all

My first post on xda, apologies for too much reading.

Maca> I wonder firstly has your issue been fixed, or has this issue re-occurred for you?

I've noticed a similar issue on GT-P5100 Android v4.0.3, (os received via the standard channel), device not rooted.

I've experienced two such occurrences. Each time I have performed a factory data reset, being the only way that I could get things working again. I've been using the Hacker's keyboard as my default keyboard during both of these occurrences. After the first occurrence, the issue re-occured after a week.

My desc of the issue: When a text field is clicked on to enter text input, the application will force close. The text input cursor does not show up, nor does the keyboard. The app goes unresponsive momentarily then you see the force close message. This not only happens in apps, but also occurs for example in the

Android Settings -> Security -> Owner information

(text field), and anywhere that you would like to type. The device becomes useless at this point.

After the issue occurs, I've tried disabling the Hacker's Keyboard, and then using the stock keyboards, restarted the tablet, but these don't rectify the issue.

I've just reinstalled my apps after factory data reset, including the "hackers keyboard" in the hope that I can gather more information leading up to the issue, and perhaps fault find post event, should I be able to repeat this. :eek:

Any input highly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lankks:
Hi everyone,

First time posting, I was on Simplicity rom 2.2.1, playing tiny tower while my alarms were going off. Next thing I know, the whole phone (GT-i9000) crashes and its stuck in an infinite bootloop. I can get into download mode easy enough and I tried flashing to a heap of stock roms: JVT, JVU, JVH and JVN. Nothing worked. I couldn't get into recovery mode, but after flashing the original CWM7 kernel I could.

Tried wiping everything in recovery, including dalvik cache, then flashing back to Simplicity in CWM. Again, nothing working, in fact nothing at all. Tried stock again, not working. Tried flashing some other kernels, didn't work either. Curiously I tried flashing darkys rom RE 10.5 in ODIN and it failed at repartitioning. Not sure if there's anything behind that. Anyway, I don't really know what to do next, so I'm here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adz86:
i tried without repartition with repartition etc and it would always fail.. but then i tried again put repartition set pit file and now..its flashing it! so trying more might help you. btw im using darky resurrection

Found one with a bootloader, used ODIN, and it worked! Then went to stock JVU, updated to speedmod kernel (still working) but then I tried to update to SURFACE rom and I'm back to square one. Bootloops.

Tried more stocks roms with bootloaders, none of them working. I can get to recovery again if I flash CWM7 kernel like before.

Sorry when I say bootloaders I mean they are built into the rom. I never flash them separately. The above link is a great resource to firmware with bootloaders. The newest gingerbread firmware is JW6... Try that or one of the others. I'm currently on JW5, with semaphore 2.7.4 kernel and DMore 3.3 Rom, it's rock solid. Hope you get it sorted.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lankks:
Yeah I found this thread earlier, I did flash with JW6, doesn't work.

So instead I just accidentally flashed a ROM for the Galaxy Tab, now my phone won't turn on at all, I'm afraid I just bricked it for reals. Can't enter download mode, completely dead boot.

FYI I installed the newest busybox and it broke wifi as well as cell reception. Won't recognize the sim. I found this post below as well... going to have to odin when I get home. i have the i957

- - - - -

just for the docs:If you installed Busybox on a rooted OneX with stock ROM, and removed some symlinks in /system/bin, make shure to keep /system/bin/insmod and /system/bin/chmod untouched or link it with /system/xbin/busybox (or wherever you installed busybox to).*If you don't, you phone will not prompt for the SIM PIN and will not show any network operator or signal.If the phone starts, the file /system/bin/poweron_modem_fls.sh gets executed. This file will call a binary named IMCdownload which has /system/bin/insmod hardcoded. If this insmod is nonexistent the IMCdownload will fail and /dev/ttyACM0 (the GSM modem terminal) does't get created.Next, gsm0710mux is called. This tool talks to /dev/ttyACM0. It tries to run /system/bin/chmod (even hardcoded). If this fails, the phone will not prompt for the SIM PIN even.It took me two days and a nearly bricked OneX to figure this out.Maybe its helpful so someone :-)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aj_vogtman:
Mine is broken also.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Stericson:
Hey guys, This isn't a problem with Busybox, It was a bug in my application.

The bug was present in version 8.0 I pathced the bug as fast as possible in 8.1 but a lot of people still got it because of caching issues.

What happened was that it symlinked all applets to busybox which means it overwrote some system applets that on some devices shouldnt be overwritten. I didn't catch this bug because my device was not affected by this.

To resolve this issue, simply reflash your current rom. You do not have to wipe any data.

When you reboot this should resolve the problem.

Again I want to apologize for this problem and annoyance.

Best Regards,

Stephen - Stericson

The rom refreshing is troublesome, since I'm using the stock rom and stock recovery. Is there any simple fix for this situation???
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
I suppose you could find someone to adb pull the missing files and then push them manually?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] scubajeff:
Galaxy Tab 7.7 is not a popular device. Besides, I really don't know which file busybox touched.

WiFi But No Mobile Network

I installed Busybox 1.20.1 and my WiFi still works fine but I have no mobile 3g network. I can call and text message fine also. Google Play and any other application requiring internet access only work while WiFi is enabled. Busybox 1.20.0 worked fine. I have a Casio Commando with a stock rom. I have tried uninstalling busybox but it fails every time, telling me the system will bootloop. I have tried unrooting with no luck also. What are my options to fix this?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Stericson:
What version of my app did you use to install Busybox? 8.0? Curiously if you were hit by the 8.0 bug you lost both.

The easiest way is just to reflash a stock rom. You should not have to wipe or lose any data.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] julianm37:
Version 8.3

I've also read that the Casio Commando cannot be reflashed.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Stericson:
Did you change any of the smart install settings? If not, I'm a little unsure if the cause was Busybox.

The previous bug was caused by overwriting system applets that shouldnt be overwritten, that was fixed as of 8.1. so the only way it could overwrite something it shouldnt would be if you adjusted the pre-adjusted settings in smart install.

Have you tried a reboot to see if the issue persists after that? Or maybe a reinstall of Busybox? Maybe you got an incomplete install somehow?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] julianm37:
Yeah, I tried all of that. I didn't change any settings either. It won't even let me use smart install anyway. I just used the regular install option. I waited for smart install to finish loading then installed 1.20.1 over 1.20.0 and then I had no mobile network. The 3g icon and bars show up and they're white but they're supposed to turn green. Mobile network settings look good too.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Stericson:
Maybe it's an issue with 1.20.1, Can you try rolling back to 1.20.0?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] julianm37:
Yeah, I already installed 1.19.4, 1.19.3, and 1.20.0 after I installed 1.20.1. Right now it says BusyBox v1.19.3 is installed to /system/bin/

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nytelife:
Hello everyone!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

First off, I have been rooting and customizing Android devices for a while now, so I am not a noob per say.

But.. I am running into an issue I just cannot seem to figure out.

I have just purchased a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus. LOVE this phone!

At stock, I was able to play 720p and 1080p (under 10gig) mkvs just fine. Smooth and responsive.

Of course being a geek-o-holic I had to root and customize the crap out of it.

First I went with the latest stable Rom from Open Kang.

The ROM was great.... However, when I went to play a mkv file (Using BS Player, MK Player, Dice Player.. etc...) one the movie would load, the phone would lock up requiring me to pull the battery and reset.

I then decided to flash the Franco kernel on top of the ROM to see if this would correct the issue.. same issue as above.

I made sure to wipe cache and davlik cache each time.

I then moved on to other ROMS such as RevoHD. Same thing.. Rom by itself, Rom with custom Franco kernel.. Every player tried when launching a mkv would just lock up the phone.

I am at wits end with this. Never had this kind of issue before. I am hoping someone has seen this before and has an idea about what is going on.

Again, does not matter the ROM or the Kernel. Stock however works perfectly.

I want to root to get the better battery life and "other" benefits.

If anyone has any idea as to what might be the issue I would greatly appreciate it!

I actually like the new speaker better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Oyeve:
So, long story short, the lens on my TMO SGS2 got a minor ding which fubared the camera from focusing properly. I opened the phone up and created a tiny hole in the plastic lens cover so that the camera will focus right. That worked just fine. Put the phone back together and then I noticed it stopped vibrating. So I took the phone apart and noticed that there is a metal sheet on the back plate that, when I pushed it back together, cut two of the 3 very thing connectors to the vibrator motor. Its an easy fix as it basically is one part that needs to be replaced, that one part is the motor, the earspeaker and the headphone jack. The only problem is I cannot find it anywhere. ebay and other sites have tons of this type of part but for other SGS2s and not for tmobile. Anyone know where I can get this part? For relatively cheap? Thanks!
