Good info, thanks!

Btw, do you have any info regarding my above inquiry about actually letting the battery drain? Is there any reason that would help moreso than having the file reset?

Alternatively, do you have any other ideas as to what might be causing my (at least perceived) poor battery life? I'm getting maybe 13 hours on a charge with pretty scant use. CM10 Nightlies.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The file and it's contents have no bearing on battery life. It's only there to record which apps and services have been using battery.

If your battery life is short, it's likely you have something preventing the phone from sleeping.

Example; when I'm in China my battery life sucks compared to Hong Kong. I often notice the synching icon in China. I suspect Facebook sync is not timing out (its blocked in China), preventing the phone from sleeping.

Better battery stats from the play store can help you determine this.

NERV Launcher (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Encom OS (Tron: Legacy)

J.A.R.V.I.S. (Iron Man)

This idea could also be captured as a series of functional/useful widgets, although something to tie it all toghether as exemplified by what Sharp has done with the NERV phone makes the appeal much greater.

I get the feeling this is what Google might have been trying to caputre with 'Holo', but IMO it is just too...simple. Making every bit serve a purpose is also important I think.

Maybe this is enough to finally get me into development/theming on android myself :D

Why doesn't Samsung or really any of the manufacturers support the Gmail status colors like the Nexus devices. It's a nice touch to be able to check grey or blue.

Yeah, that'd be nice. But i'm sure we're gonna get it with roms so no worries for me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres_a:
Hello everyone,

I'd like to ask for confirmation for this crash:

On SGS+ (GT-I9001) with CM9 alpha 4 by Arco68 flashed I'm consistently getting Settings app crashed by the following actions:

Go to "Settings", "Language & input", select "Default", in the dialog box select "Configure input methods" - immediate result is error message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".

Logcat excerpt attached.

Regarding the installation - everything was done according to the instructions (CWM installed, wiped everything, then separately wiped cache partition, flashed CM9 and gapps).

Is this repeatable for everyone or just on my device?

May it be related to this line in logcat?:

W/InputManagerService( 237): Couldn't create dir.: /data/system/inputmethod

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binlalo:
It happened the same to me but I tried again and now it worked, I'm using Swiftkey X. But now I have two problems:

1. Long press on input field doesn't show any menu (so I can't select the input method). Don't know if it's a bug or it's ICS style (if so, I don't like that).

2. While I'm writing, nothing happens when I tap on the blue cursor so I can't select the text, copy or paste.

Are those bugs too? Are them related?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres_a:
No, as far as I know.

Regarding your point 1: I never seen this behaviour on stock ROM I've had (2.3.3) and don't see it on CM9. Was it system action that you're referring to? May it be so that this was addition by some specific keyboard app?

2: This blue arrow is for marking entry point for you to e.g. insert text between already entered words or use backspace in some specific position, text selection cursors with the option to cut/copy appear when you long tap on the already entered text.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arco68:
No it's not related to that.

From looking at the logcat, you don't have a completely clean install. I see traces of Avast in there. Do a complete install with just CM9, no other apps, and see if it happens. If it doesn't happen, then install stuff one by one and check again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidrome:
i have a completely clean install and I have this bug, how can we fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres_a:
Hi Arco, thank you for looking into this issue, as minor as it is.

Now I've did factory reset in CWM, installed build 4, installed gapps, did not link to google account (otherwise it'd have started app downloads immediately) and done these steps once more:

* Settings

* Language & input

* Default

* Configure input methods

There was error message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" - I was unable to make screenshot of this message with neither power button menu nor with Power+VolDown.

Other steps are on screenshots - red dot marks item to select.

Logcat also attached.

[HTC One X] derfresh:
Hey guys.

I've searched this forum and did some google searches, too, but wasn't able to find the answer to my question.

Since for me it's not an option to leave my cellphone unencrypted (little paranoid, privacy and so on... ;) ), I would like to know, if it's possible to do a nandroid backup altough the device is encrypted?

Then, another question: Is there a way at all to flash something via clockwork recovery, since also the sdcard partition would be encrypted?

Or would I have to flash everything through adb? (does this work atm?)

[Ha! Just popped up: If the sdcard is encrypted, I wouldn't be able to do a nandroid backup, right? dammit!]
[HTC One X] Zoltair Wright:
it's still possible to flash files to /system, as mentioned here. i've never created a tmpfs so i couldn't tell you the actual commands to get it done

i don't know if nandroids are done on the block or filesystem level - regardless there's no recovery I know of that will backup an encrypted /data volume, so even if it's possible it's a moot point

TWRP on some phones can accept your volume password and mount an encrypted /data, but if you nandroid then, the data is unencrypted and it defeats the point

and it's nice that i'm not the only paranoid one here ;)
[HTC One X] Zoltair Wright:
in case it's helpful to anyone else, I found an answer on how to do a tmpfs in recovery here:

http://android.stackexchange.com/a/23879

the relevant commands are:

me@workstation$ adb shell
~ # mount -t tmpfs none /data
~ # mkdir /data/media
## Go on with 'adb push update.zip /data/media' and then like above
[HTC One X] papperlapapp:
I have the same questions like you. There may be a solution for us.

I just discovered the tool "Online Nandroid backup", you can find it in the Google play store. This tool is able to make a nandroid backup while your phone is up and running! This means when using this tool you do not need to but into recovery mode.

Now, when the device is encrypted, the encrypted partition is accessable while the phone is running.

In my understanding this means Online Nandroid should be able to access the encrypted data and back it up! I asked the developer if my assumption is correct.

The backup itself would contain your confidential data in unencrypted way.

If your phone gets fried you would have to wipe and format all partitions, do a restore with the Online Nandroid backup you made, reboot and encrypt your device again.

This is my assumption about how to restore a bricked, encrypted device. I asked the developer if my assumptions are sane. If they are I will switch to Online Nandroid.

By the way, I never would ever buy a device which has no external sd card slot! With an external sd card you have so much more options to do maintenance!
[HTC EVO 3D] matasz:
So, after installing silver-needle kernel, my phone doesnt turn on, and my computer doesnt recognises USB, so I cant access sd card. What should i do ???
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Need more info like S-On of Off, HBOOT, and CDMA or GSM.

Also, why would you flash such an OLD kernel. This thing hasn't been posted on since december '11 and originally came out in august '11. There are much better and newer kernels in the dev section.
[HTC EVO 3D] matasz:
HBOT 1.49.0007, S-On, HTC EVO 3D GSM
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
How did you flash the kernel with S-On? I'm not real familiar with how to flash with S-On, but there are a few extra steps. My suggestion is to download to your computer a recent kernel that is for GSM and CDMA from the GSM section. Then find one of the many guides on how to flash with S-On and follow it. I beleive it requires adb which I never use.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
whoa that kernel is ancient!

Sent from my PG86100 using Forum Runner
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
....and I wasn't aware there was a Silverneedle for GSM. I only see a CDMA one, which means he probably flashed a kernel for a different device.
[HTC EVO 3D] matasz:
Is there a way to make USB work?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
If you have a custom recovery installed, you can boot into that.

You could boot into fastboot and use adb maybe? Not sure about that as I've never had to do that.
[HTC EVO 3D] ilovemeow:
cdma kernel into gsm :s....wht the hell

btw did he tried unplug battery
[HTC EVO 3D] matasz:
No, I cant boot into fastboot, unless if you know some other methods.
[HTC EVO 3D] matasz:
So, I unbricked my phone, and I can access to fastboot, but computer still doesnt recognise USB . What should I do?

[HTC EVO 3D] mwjames1985:
you shouldn't have to have the fastboot drivers for the phone or computer to recognize usb mount.. ive hooked my phone up to several computers that i know didn't have the drivers installed and i mounted my sd card.. go into your recovery and mount usb there or u can just simply put your sd card into another phone or device so you can place a kernel or rom to reboot your phone

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILS_SuperNova:
Hey all

Like title says everytime I get a text the notification sound plays for like 1 second then goes off.

Had the phone since release day and it hasn't done that before.

Any ideas?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapdatass:
Have you enabled Sound+Vibrate? I found that the SMS notification sound was cut to be the length of the vibration - got around it by creating a new, longer vibration (handy feature that).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILS_SuperNova:
Yeah I have got vibration on . . .how do I make a longer vibrate for text message??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapdatass:
Settings > Sound > (Ringtone & notifications) Device vibration > then create a new one. After hitting create, keep pressing the screen to get the length or number of vibrations you want.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentman:
same here ...

I'm having the same issue with my new S3. I have created a longer vibration pattern as you suggested, and this seems to fix it for stock notification sounds. But if I try to use one from Zedge for example, it happens again.

I'm going to assume this is a bug they are going to fix :-) the 'inspired by nature' sounds are ok, but I'd like to be able to set my own - with vibrate activated.

Will keep an eye on this thread, and update if I hear anything. Cheers.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

still happening here stock sound or not ... hopefully patched soon :-( .... I was beginning to wonder if it's related to any of the apps I have installed, but unlikely as this happened right after a factory reset with no non stock apps installed .... (**I had imported my SMS history from a backup**)

Ok ... so a little more diggin found this on another forum ...

I figured it out, figured I'd post in case someone else comes looking for the same information.

For me, SMS's were causing this. Specifically the problem occurs when conversations began to get very long. I realised after a friend SMS'd me and it played the sound perfectly fine, but cut off while playing it when my partner SMS'd me.

TL;DR: Caused by long conversation history for whatever reason, delete messages to remove the notification issue.

i deleted the long history between myself and my wife ... and it's working properly :-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcus46:
I've the same problem.... You have the sensor move "intelligent notification" enabled or disabled???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentman:
I have it turned on, but like I say in my previous post, once i shortened my message history, the problem went away ... I don't know how many messages start causing the problem.

My SMS history retention solution is:

limit thread length on phone to 150 and use SMS Backup+ from market to back up everything. That way when the phone drops a message due to thread size, I still have a backup in my gmail account.

hopefully that's it fixed.

Have you tried the suggestions above?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcus46:
Yes, I limit to 100 sms, but the problem is not fixed....

Now I turned off the sensor move "intelligent notification", and seems to be fixed...

Please, try and send you feddback...

Thank you....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SickleFoot:
Not just me then.

I'll try these tips one by one and see what resolves it. I have limited the text history to 100 to start with, lets see.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentman:
@marcus46

I don't have the problem anymore, so cant replicate it.

I assume by intelligent notification, you mean 'smart alert' under the 'motion' menu?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcus46:
Whit 100 sms on phone, the problem is not fixed.... now I try with 50 sms....

It's a bug....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibihest:
I have the same problem with my notifications. It cuts off the sound, sometimes almost instantely, other times I get all of it.

Will try to turn off smart alert and see if that fixes it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentman:
my suggestion would be to back up and then remove ALL conversation threads. Then test. If it works then re-import you sms history and test again.

At least doing this you will know one way or another if it's related to the sms history on your phone.

.... worked for me, but that's not to say it will work for everyone, may just have been a coincidence, but seems too much of a coincidence to not be related.

Good luck!

:-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcus46:
Ok, I've found the bug... If i have selected the limits of message and "delete old message", when the conversation is "empty" the sounds cut off.... If I don't selected "delete old message".... It's all ok....

Sorry for my bad english....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashflash:
Thank you. This has indeed solved the notification issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentman:
Thanks for your reply. Just for clarity, which solution worked for you?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashflash:
Untick delete old messages in options. I'm guessing when you hit the limit, a new message triggers delete old message and messes with the notification sound.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentman:
So your SMS history just grows unchecked? or do you have another way of managing your thread sizes?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasksnake:
Same problem, have you installed lightflow ?

because I think THIS is the problem :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentman:
I don't use Lightflow :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasksnake:
Ok so I don't know what's the problem ...

I need to fix that too ...

But yes without vibrate the whole sound is playing ...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicked1683:
haha! This also happened to me today... I guess the "Delete old messages" option is the one to blame.. Another stupid bug from the best smartphone. My old nokia never had this issue.

@Samsung, improve your QA team! First test the minor features before you sell your stuff. Im starting to hate this phone :crying:

Update: I confirmed, Its the delete old messages option that causing this. In my case it's happening if the phone is lock and I received a message and the message limit was achieved per contact (Causing the phone to auto delete a message), The notification will cutoff.

@Samsung, include in your test spec the "Lock Scenarios"!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:
So I finally bricked yesterday (thank god for Sprint's insurance program) and I started thinking, is there such a thing as flashing too much?

It wasn't during the actual flash itself, my phone was just sitting on the charger, and suddenly, my phone wouldn't power on anymore. I think maybe the motherboard is fried. It's been a particularly flash heavy week for me (I've been messing around with a number of different ICS builds, maybe one every other day) so I got to thinking, is there such a thing as flashing too much? I'm no electrical engineer, but logic tells me that all the constant reboots and power up/downs required for flashing can't be good for the hardware if excessive

So the question remains, do you guys think there is an appropriate number of times a phone should be flashed in a certain time period?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
LOL you are not seriously asking flash-a-holics if there is a limit... Does and alcoholic ever think he has had one too many...

*Flash or Bust*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Well, yeah. If you flash people too much, you'll eventually get arrested. That's sick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trter10:
Well on my thunderbolt I flashed a recovery about 12 times without rebooting once.... ;P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:
LOL, yeah i hear ya. I realize I am asking a loaded question a group of people who love to "tinker" but my question was more to the technical hardware aspects. i.e. can excessive flashing and subsequent constant reboots lead to hardware failures?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
From a moral standpoint and being an avid Rockfest attendee in Kansas City - no, you can not flash too much (please god, women only and not the whales)

From a technical point, yes you can flash too much. However, the possibility of you ever reaching that limit in the lifetime of a phone is almost nonexistent. We're talking about write cycles which with modern NAND chips and sdcards, it's in the hundreds of thousands. Some are lower since they obviously are not intended to be written to more than a couple times in their lifetime (BIOS, older phones where the NAND contained only the system, bootloaders, radio, and recovery, and so on). Other things like sdcards or even RAM have limited but very high write cycle limits. Ram obviously being on the extreme end of the spectrum.

In short you *can* flash too many times but you never will. Again this is an average as some memory can fail after a couple dozen writes due to flaws.
