[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
that does nothing.

that screen only comes up, when you flashed a stock ICS 4.0.3 rom

without

wipe. it does not actually install apps, it just scans app folders like /system/app/ and /data/app for already installed apps to integrate in the launcher. maybe it also checks compatibility with android 4. but at the moment that screen shows up, all apps are already installed.

it is just a marketing thingy to pretend to perform app migration after upgrading the OS. if you upgrade through kies and had auto-restart checked and were unable to get to recovery to perform a factory reset prior to the first boot, you will see that screen appear after the first boot "installing" all your apps. then if you reboot into recovery, factory reset the phone and reboot, you will see it only "installs" the few stock apps and all user apps are gone.

this migration, together with not wiping your phone when flashing, will make it slow and unstable over time. it is the same thing with a windows pc. of course one could upgrade the OS, say, from vista to 7, and installed programs and settings might get migrated but in the end, everybody who knows, what they are doing, will still format c: prior to installing a new OS and install the programs afterwards for them to run perfectly.

and all stock apps, that survive a factory reset, wipe are in fact system apps in /system/app

they can still disappear when flashing a new rom.

your best bet is to backup all your apps with titanium backup pro and after flashing a rom or performing a factory reset, you select batch and restore all user apps + data. that way, you can simply install 100+ apps with a few clicks, and their respective settings (scores, customizations...) will be restored as well, which would not be the case with the way you suggested.

so, not only is your way not practical, it is also next to impossible. and it would make no sense, crumming all user apps in the 512MB system partition and leaving the 2GB data partition empty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idpro:
thanks for replying

sure I'll not put my all apps in the system/app. I made a rom and put my apps in the data/app and after flashing I got all of my applications installed and working too except some of google apps like google+ and drive. I think that screen shows us it's installing the apps not just scanning, because I searched the rom for these apps I didn't find it, so I think it's packed somewhere and I hope to find it :)

Hey guys, found an update on cheesecake...:D its ics for sure.. doesn't install.. :(

anyway, here's the link.. :)

Thanks, I wonder if this will help with AT&T use or not
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
Just finished downloading...the Asia retail is for the MB865, not the ME865, so perhaps it will help. There is also a .crc file included with the update zip.
[Motorola Atrix 2] xanadu:
It's SEARET:

Oh, well darn. :(

Is the build date for this leak different than the previous leak? (The previous leak's build date was May 18)
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Well I guess this doesn't do any more good than the MEARET one we have then :(

at least it gives us hope that there is still more to come on cheesecake

Just checked, build date for this leak is also May 18....it's entirely possible that the US retail was built around the same time period and is simply waiting to be found....
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
it definitely will... stock US rom and most of the roms by made by our devs here based on the US firmware work on our phone.. so our phones have same hardware I guess...
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
What server did you check when you got the update notification?
[Motorola Atrix 2] prbassplayer:
Last warning. Development section is not meant to post news or random questions. If you didn't make it or releasing a sure thing rom (no, seeing a update on cheesecake and not knowing what it is does not count) it does not belong in Development section. Next cheesecake news posted in development section will be deleted. /moved to General.

QA or Staging... dont remember properly... was sometime in the midnight...
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
midnight in what time zone?

Cheesecake news may be posted in my ICS work thread in the dev section. that way I can update the title and everyone will see it, but you won't clutter this area with more threads.

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul1994:
So will this update work if i apply it the same way as the MEARET version, just on the SEARET?

Anyone tried it yet?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
no it doesnt work... it goes half way, then you get the triangle... restarts and says udate failed..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
IST (in India), GMT +5:30
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
that makes sense, because that is only in the afternoon here in america (eastern time) so it is during main business hours.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul1994:
Okay, i'll try it at night and post how it works out for me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
Any news, buddy?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul1994:
Yeah, it gives signature error.

So better stick with the MEARET if u have it.
[Galaxy S III General] NOMIOMI:
While your average "drop test" video isn't necessarily a source for scientific durability analysis, they can be entertaining to watch. Somehow, seeing expensive devices mercilessly dropped onto unforgiving concrete or pavement feels slightly gratifying, while the process simultaneously educates viewers on the dangers of careless phone handling.

Today, Android Authority uploaded a drop test video which saw Samsung's Galaxy SIII (by all accounts the phone of the moment) and Apple's iPhone 4S faced off against an expanse of hard concrete. Both phones were dropped on their face, back, and side, of course in an attempt to gather more experimental data.

[youtube]K7e9ebi41Wc[/youtube]

It goes without saying that neither device fared particularly well. The iPhone 4S' front and back panels were absolutely smashed, though the touch screen, home, and lock buttons still functioned. The Galaxy SIII, while less noticeably damaged, had no touch functionality at all after being dropped on its face.

In the end, the lesson is the same: don't drop your phone (even if it has gorilla glass), because the consequences could be dire.

here is the drop test of SAMSUNG GALAXY 2 sgs2 is stronger than galaxy s3

[youtube]e3ri6vrmPbc[/youtube]
[Galaxy S III General] Funkym0nkey:
Unfortunately during the side drop test the thing hit the corner dead on. Does not matter which phone you have, you hit the corner like that on the modern big screen smartphones, and it will shatter the display. Large force, small area impact. Does not matter which phone it is, it will shatter. Be it nail hammer One X, or SGS3.

Rule No 1 : Dont drop the phone.

Rule No 2 : Before you read rule number 1, get the case that protects the corners.

These plastic built samsung phones will survive most of the things which other phones which are better built wont, but corner impact is kryptonite of all phones.

one thing you should never do with OLED screen = water soak
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
I dropped ms SGS1 hundred of times. Never had a scratch on the screen, the SGS3 however seems very fragile. I never used a case but i think i will buy one for this phone.
[Galaxy S III General] riz157:
water test wow :eek:that's amazing I'm going try that too impress my mates!! :)
[Galaxy S III General] sailindawg:
My wife's Skyrocket got a small crack in the screen from a corner drop. The crack just cuts through a corner where there is no viewable screen. The HOX hammering nails was pretty rich though.
[Galaxy S III General] paintball23456:
i can explain why the galaxy s3 does crap its cos the screen curves outwards :)

simples also buy a screen protector doesnt cost much but saves you buying a new phone
[Galaxy S III General] JaZart:
S3 is pretty fragile compared to the s2 and hox
[Galaxy S III General] Ascertion:
Correct. Not sure why Samsung would change that. It's on iPhone level as far as durability goes, and that's sad. (About 75% of the people I know that have iPhones have cracked screens.)
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
One thing i noticed on that video is that the surface where it dropped wasnt flat but very irregular which increases the chance of a disaster like that by alooot.

Ive also seen a One X dropping on a flat surface and the same happened, in the end it doesnt matter what u have, the phones will always get damaged if you are not lucky/carefull/responsible enough :)

[YOUTUBE]sBo3W6HdPbM[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
Or maybe those people treat their phones like crap

1 person has a cracked screen on their iphone that I know

any phone's screen will crack. It depends on WHERE the impact on the phone is where it lands, and how far the drop is from
[Galaxy S III General] bortak:
Oh god this made me cringe and shudder ;__;
[Galaxy S III General] Chicken Nugget(s):
Well, they could be earning a bit of money from screen replacements...
[Galaxy S III General] paintball23456:
if you watch carefully when they drop the s3 it always land on its face:confused: no idea why the s3 is not that fragile iphone stiil beats it in fragility its just the s3 tends to land on its face:eek:
[Galaxy S III General] Amritttt:
Man gotta be really carefull phone usually slips from pocket or while texting or while typing when using one hand ****in stupid gorilla glass 2. Sgs 2 rocks in crash drop water or what ever test lol there's a sledge hammer test still it survies lol this phone wont survive a slip from hand.
[Galaxy S III General] Hotobu:
I've never understood these tests. Your goal is obviously to never drop, or get the phone in water. If you do so you have to deal with the outcome. What's the point of a test?
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
That's not what I took away from these tests (that you shouldn't drop them), what I got out of it is that you should invest in a nice case so this doesn't happen to you.
[Galaxy S III General] Hotobu:
Still seems obvious to me though. It's obvious that you shouldn't drop nice things, and it's just as obvious that putting a case on said things protects them.

Now if this were a video showing controlled drops of phones in different cases to demonstrate which ones have the best protection then I'd be all for it, but as they stand now they're pretty stupid. "Don't drop or get wet electronic device worth hundreds of dollars." Wow!
[Galaxy S III General] daneel_:
I find this drop test a little more accurate.

[YOUTUBE]PbL7ciKmT7g[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S III General] johku12:
The tests arent 100% accurate in my opinion but I'm still wating the i9300 with fear of breaking the screen. It seems that bigger heavier device causes enough force to shatter the glass. Can't tell what role the new thinner gorilla glass 2 plays in this although it is said to be as strong as v1 but while thinner so maybe it's too thin now..
[Galaxy S III General] BJ van Beethoven:
Can't believe it hasn't been said yet; you realize Gorilla Glass is not, and never has been, marketed as smash/shatter proof? All it is, is scratch resistant and somewhat stronger than normal glass.

No matter what device it may be, you drop it on it's face or on the corner and it will break.
[Galaxy S III General] Galaid:
Disagree. My SGS1 hit the floor (rough asphalt) on the corner and the screen is in perfect condition.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Agree 100%

via Atrix 2/VictoryROM/XDA app
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
you're a fool if you do that.

haven't you seen the vid, in didn't show the sgs3 being in the water.

he already had a cam in 1 hand, all he had to do after turning on the vid on sgs3 is push the sgs3 with one hand while continuing recording with the cam in his other hand.

it's obviously fake.
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Such a shame. I was hoping my future S3 could also double as a basketball. Guess not now.

And why do so many people think the S2 is bulletproof. My mate has a phone repair shop and anytime I walk in I see at least 5 S2's there waiting for screen replacements.

Btw, I would much rather break the screen on an iPhone than an S2 (or S1, S3 for that matter). If I want to do it myself the iphone will cost me $20, the S2 close to $200.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
Accurate? Getting two different kids to fling them with completely unknown forces (I bet only "as hard as they can") is accurate? For that matter, who leaves their phone on a trunk?
[Galaxy S III General] hoezay:
I honestly don't think these drop tests make any sense because there are too many variables involved. Every drop will never be the same. Don't drop your phone. Like with babies. You don't see baby drop tests do you ?
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
LMAO

Bottom line guys is put ur phone in a nice case if u want to prevent this, or dont cry about it when u drop it by accident and it breaks.

via Atrix 2/VictoryROM/XDA app
[Galaxy S III General] vapotrini:
I really just have to laugh at all of these responses. So let me get this right, 3 months ago it was hilarious just how weak the Iphone 4 is. Yet now that the SGS3 proves to be as soft as butter, everything has suddenly changed. Now these tests are miraculously "stupid" & "unrealistic"?

Come on guys, stop apologizing for Samsung. This is terrible. You guys can deny it all you like but the truth is, the SGS1 & SGS2 are vastly more durable phones than this phone. Aren't we were supposed to be moving forward & improving? Well, this is exactly the opposite of that.

Of course no one purposely drops their phone on the ground. But the simple fact of the matter is, it happens all the time. Even if you take the best care in the world, mistakes happen. In my mind, this is ridiculous! And I'm shocked to see so many here apologizing on Samsung's behalf for it.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
All the more reason to put it in a case, a good one.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
sgs3 misses the shock absorbing frame from sgs2, and yeah its prone to damage on normal conditions. so buy a case that has some good borders(which will absorb the shock) and now you are safe.

buy a case be safe ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Hotobu:
I just laugh at responses like this. So let me get this straight. From at least 3 months ago until now some idiot thinks that what some people said somewhere else at some point and time is relative to what people are saying in this thread. Because you know of course those people and the ones here are the same right? Now these tests are stupid and unscientific.

Come on guys raise your hand who here is apologizing for Samsung or who had **** to do with some other anonymous thread about some other phone?

Of course no one purposely drops their phone on the ground. But the simple fact of the matter is, it happens all the time, and a drop test does **** to help anything.

In case you were too dense to get that or didn't feel like reading it

tl;dr

"The internet" is not a single entity. It's ****ing retarded to go on a diatribe about people's inconsistent responses to something when you aren't talking to the same set of people.
[Galaxy S III General] ArcticWolf91:
I have to agree. But then again what can you expect, everyone here doesn't want to admit that their $700 phone is fragile like an egg. Samsung went from having a highly durable phone with the GS2 to this, and it's just pathetic. This is what happens when they try to focus on making every phone razor thin. Would it really have mattered if the glass was 1mm thicker and way stronger? Would anyone call the phone fat? I don't think so. It's still a great phone, and yeah of course we will always be careful not to drop it, but it's a shame that in the event that we do, it will probably break.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
....if you insist on not putting it in a case that can and will prevent said breakage. Very simple solution to a very expensive problem.
[Galaxy S III General] tobanezam:
haha.. these rules are made for any phone.. :D
[Galaxy S III General] deffjeff:
I do not care that much about drop tests, for I have not yet let one of my smart phones fall or drop out of my pocket or whatever. If you pay $700+ for a device and you drop it.... Lets put it this way: paying $700+ for a phone is all a good reason for me to be very careful to avoid any freak accident of happening on the fly.

Of course there are honest mistakes, but a lot are simply clumsiness or neglect.

And the last category deserves it.

It ain't bulletproof. And get a case. And further stop comparing; every phone is different.

For a matter of fact: "We are perverse creatures and never satisfied." ~Nan Fairbrother

So no matter how perfect a device may be for others, so imperfect and despicable it may be for others.

So here is the cue: you have an SGS3 and you are not happy about the drop tests? get another phone, or keep it, and be careful.

[Acer Iconia A500] Mkami:
Hey I have an Acer Iconia a500 tab, and I just recently rooted and flashed my tab and I love it. Now the issue is that every time I press the sleep mode (turn off button) The tab goes to sleep, and every few seconds the tab turns the screen on by itself. It's very frustrating and a nuisance. Please can anybody advise or help me with this? It'll be greatly appreciated, also I can donate if anything :) Thanks again!
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
IT's caused by one of your apps that you have installed. Who knows which one though, your the one that installed them.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
What did you flash your tab with? Which ROM?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yep, I agree. You have an app that keeps waking the screen. Should be easy to find. Just turn off your notifications/updates one at a time till you catch the culprit.

Or, you can connect ADB, run a shell window, and run a logcat. Check it right after the tab wakes, and see what caused it. Logcat will continue to run till you kiil the window, or disconnect the tab.

It;s pretty normal though for a tab to wake briefly for a second after it goes to sleep. Just not all the time.
[Acer Iconia A500] Mkami:
Thanks for your reply. I have Flexreaper for the ROM, when you say "what did I flash my tab with" what exactly do you mean?
[Acer Iconia A500] Mkami:
Is there any instructions on how to do that? P.S You're definitely right about that one, cause my tab keeps on doing this. It's really of annoyance by now. Also I know this might be a bit off topic, but does your tab run external HDD without any issues?
[Acer Iconia A500] jiteshkumawat:
There is an application "soft locker" in market. Its free. Even I was having same problem but after installing this application I got my problem solved.

It protects tab from getting in dead sleep state but also help with your problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
And it will also drain battery much quicker because the tablet won't go into sleep mode.

If I had to choose I would choose screen turning on from time to time as this would have much less impact on battery that not letting it go to deep sleep for whole night.

[Desire HD General] capt_harlock77:
matthew33: thank you for your useful post. It really adds value to the discussion. :P
[Desire HD General] GuestK007:
it wont ever be officially supported by the community because they are closed source. Meaning they dont share what they make and we cant even look at what is inside. This defeats the whole concept of android being an open source system. A reference to apple is very accurate as they are closed source and look how little you can do with those phones beyond what apple lets you. I dont trust chinese coders that wont release their source code.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WookieFan:
Hey all,

Just ordered (from Amazon) an N1 to use as a dev phone, and had a few questions.

In using later versions of Android, I gather that partitions need to be set up on the SD card. I plan to get a 32 GB class 10, but would like to know what are some good general rules for partitioning with either 4EXT or CWM recoveries.

Also, how do I identify which version N1 I have? I understand some have SLCD and some have AMOLED. Also, some work internationally and some not(?)

Thanks for your input.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
All your questions could be solved by

searching

.

Internal memory can be partitioned using BlackRose. Read the thread so you understand what you're doing, before you actually start partitioning. If you're stuck: search. There have been dozens of threads started by people who didn't read enough.

µSD card can be partitioned with EXT4 recovery, or using partitioning software on your computer (e.g. GParted). Do NOT use ClockworkMod recovery for partitioning.

You can identify your Nexus One screen and network (or FAQ Q13).

Also, the wiki and Wikipedia contain a lot of basic info.
