[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meteorrock:
Class 2 or Class 4 cards work the best if you have the CyanogenMod mounted on it, it has been bench-tested against other higher class cards. Something about how android works better on the read/write speeds. Higher class cards work faster in other devices but not the nook color as a mounted OS.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labbe-:
Hello. First of all I'd like to state that this is my first android device and I am still learning the whole process of rooting and flashing ROM's so bear with me.

So to my question. I installed BlackStar V1 yesterday and I noticed when performing a speed test that my 3G performance had dropped significantly. I have a 1Mbps download bandwith plan from the best provider in my area, and got full speed at 60-120ms with my previous phone and with stock and Omega V4 rom's with GS3 at all times of the day. However after installing BlackStar my latency tripled and download speed cut to third from the 1Mbps even at night when the network is less crowded. I can manage when I'm home or at work since the wifi works fine, but when on the move handling large e-mail attachments gets frustrating. Does anyone have an idea what might be the issue?

I haven't tried to restore my Omega nandroid backup yet in hopes this issue might get fixed somehow, but am forced in couple of days if it's not, which is a shame since i really like this rom :(.

Unfortunately I do not have screenshot of my speedtest result before installing BlackStar.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jugih:
I have a little different speeds in helsinki with stock rooted ROM and fastest saunalahti multi-sim ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labbe-:
Yeah that shows that the stock works fine, I actually realized to check the history tab and you can see that 3G has worked for me correctly in the past.

Could it be that the creator of the BlackStar has changed the stock modem with a different one that doesnt work well with finnish frequencies?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labbe-:
Seems like it was indeed a modem issue. Fixed after installing the new XXLF2 modem.

[HTC One X] dzdimov:
Hi, I am coming from htc desire and when I used mobile internet almost everytime I was connected via 3G but now when I use my hox on the very same operator in the same city everytime I connect to the internet it connects via gprs or edge. I dont know if I am the only one who noticed this, and maybe this is a part from the battery savong features since 2g use less power then 3g. Anyway I think that this is the stupidest way for savong battery since I need fast connection
[HTC One X] phil112345:
sounds faulty, mine has perfect 3g/3.5g coverage and never defaults to 2g unless on a train or something
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nova0387:
Ok so this might be to dumb to alot but I can not seem to find the settings or more specifically the "my apps" int eh google play store app. The only option I really have is the magnifying glass for the search feature. If i clear the data and cache then when i upgrade again it shows me them but obv I don't want to have to do that everytime. Anyone else know how to find the my apps in the app?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flugelboy:
For me, My Apps only shows up when on the Play Store home page or when viewing the Apps section of the store. It shows up in the menu next to the magnifying glass. If I'm viewing music or books, then it shows "My Music" or "My Books" instead.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nova0387:
Mine doesn't even do that...Also besides first finding the picture and then clicking share and selecting the gmail app...Does anyone know if there is a way to add an attachment to your email from inside the gmail app? I've tried to longpress to see if maybe that would bring up some options but it does nothing. Kinda frustrating all in all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flugelboy:
That's really weird about your Play Store "My Apps" not showing up. As for Gmail, when you're composing the email, tap the menu in the upper right then select "Attach File".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nova0387:
I don't even have a menu button at the top right
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mtg981:
You have to be "composing" an email first. Then you will see 3 little dots at top left of screen

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whpgab:
Is there a way to copy files from the internal memory to PC if you are in download mode or recovery? And how?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Yes.

1. You can use ADB commands to pull/push from recovery mode

or simple way with GUI

2. Use PC program : "Android Commander", works a treat :)

Edit: *Ensure USB debugging is enabled first in settings, then boot into recovery*

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjshinobi:
I formatted everything and if I boot it stays in boot loop and I can't access USB debugging to push my zip file so that I can flash it. What can I do? I'm using I9300 International Tool Kit for ADB.

[Edited]:

Never mind, I used the same Tool Kit but instead of pushing it to /sdcard/ (I learned that /sdcard/ is nothing more than a symlink to /data/media) I pushed it to /data/media/ and without USB debugging I managed to get the files to show up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpjjansen:
Is it the defaut recovery or CWM

Because it is CWM you can use en micro SDHC card en put the new software files on the card and flash the new software.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjshinobi:
It was CWM and I don't have a microSD to SD reader to reformat the 2GB microSD card that I have so I use the internal SD which leads me to use a Tool Kit or ADB to push files after a complete format of everything.
[HTC Sensation] reddragon022:
Just checking to see if anyone is selling there Sensation or any other phone to get the GSIII, or just might be buying one and keeping there old phone? I know I been thinking about getting one lately since mobile network is so slow and sometimes I have no signal either :(. Other than that, I love my Sensation just tired of the hassel with the signal sometimes. Don't know if Im selling my phone or not but I might get one from T-mobile on release date I guess (June 21,2012), haven't heard about the price yet only specs.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Nope i think my sensation will do until the end of my contract which is in february 2013 ... And then ill see the phones available at that time...

[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Keeping my Sensation... Not a big fan of Samsung!
[HTC Sensation] davebugyi:
Agree with some points - until there is not much improvement in battery life, I'll keep it.
[HTC Sensation] Tacjim:
Not just Yet

The Sammy is better phone than the Sensation, but it's not worth an upgrade, maybe if we got the quad core version. besides the HD screen, I'd be interested to see if anyone could name something the Sammy can do that the Sensation can't.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:

[HTC Sensation] reddragon022:
I love trying new phones an all, but will probably wait a little after release date. Wonder, will it be a major difference in performance compared to the dual version and the quad?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
NOPE, keeping my sensation until it's paid off then seeing what Android is available at that time. I'm on payment plan so at least a year. Then I'll look into what's new at that time. I'm really happy with my sensation! Especially due to xda and custom Roms, operating system upgrades, and wonderful forum support! Why ruin a good thing?
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Not getting the first "next gen" phones. Their the first, I'm just waiting to new phones
[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
I'm waiting on a Motorola nexus quad core. Til then will do!
[HTC Sensation] M9x3mos:
Even though Google did buy Motorola I doubt that they will be making the hardware for it.

Google already said that they don't want to directly get into the hardware business.

Mainly they just wanted Motorola for their collection of patents.

Either way, (sadly phones are a expensive habbit for me lol), have a sensation, amaze, and one s. Due to the signal fluctuations and problems I have had with that phone I will be selling the one s and getting the GSIII. I will still probably keep the amaze and sensaiton. Mainly the sensation because I have alot of accessories and protection for it for when working on my cars and stuff which I haven't got for the Amaze which just has been a "good" not for work backup. Plus I flash the sensation too much to get rid of that phone.
[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
They have a bunch of kick ass Verizon droid phones. It's only matter of time until they release a Motorola nexus, which at that point might be quad core. Companies tend to change their mind sooner or later! I had the amaze and in my opinion I enjoy the sensation more.
[HTC Sensation] Michealtbh:
It's very possible, there are going to be 5 Nexus devices this year from different manufacturers
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
I would like to have a quad core handset. One X would have been my preferred choice (love sense) but I need a unit with a removable batt.

SGS3 is one option or maybe the new Huawei Ascend D Quad (http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_ascend_d_quad-4568.php) which is due to surface next month.

I have a feeling Huawei will soon become a major player. They are already a giant company in networking etc.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Nah I'm not a fan of quadcores full stop. My contract expires may next year and so I'm going to compare the octacore beasts there are roaming the jungle at the time. Probably a HTC but we never know maybe a s4 ( I say extremely hopefully ).
[HTC Sensation] suckiden:
I will keep my Sensation until i'ts dead :D because I'm very happy with it and loves to flash it all the time. And should I really buy another Phone I wouldn't sell my Sensation
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
There is absolutely no need for a quad core phone unless android os is optimized to make use of the four cores "intelligently". Heck even the proper usage of the current dual cores is not properly implemented yet, so I see no need to update to a quad phone.
[HTC Sensation] Michealtbh:
Hardware always comes before software though. What's the point in making multi core software if the hardware doesn't exist? Now that we have more and more multi core devices developers will start optimising software to take advantage of them, it's a constant game of catch up
[HTC Sensation] nangu:
Exactly! That´s why I´ll wait until Android 5.0 to see if Google can catch up to the current dual and quad core hardware.

IMO, there is no need to upgrade a device like Sensation at this time.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Unless you want a one s :D ( or one x in america )
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
well i sold my sensation because i left TMobile. I will say even tho the sg3 and sensation are duel core. Me myself was a skeptic of the s4 well I'm here to tell you all its a big big big speed increase. My evo 4g lte feel Three times as fast as my sensation even when i had my sensation overclocked its just no comparison. If i didn't leave TMobile i would of kept my sensation but now i can't imagine going back. The gs3 also have the s4 processor i was pissed we didn't get a quad core phone here in the states but s4 is a good alternative and a major upgrade i wouldn't lie i love my sensation dearly but it can't compare. The battery even last me the entire day im only assuming the gs3 will be as good. Its not a pretty phone but by no means with the s4 and 2gigs of ram i can only imagine a smooth experience, and with the hd screen i would consider it a good upgrade. Just my opinion:)
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Another thing im with spring and TMobile data speeds which i took for granted will piss all over sprint 3g i sware tmobile 2g or edge is faster than sprint 3g.
[HTC Sensation] reddragon022:
I really like what your saying :) :)!!! I love my sensation and all the times we had but there is a time when the phone will get old. It might not be now but hey I love trying out new phones. Whenever ps4 and xbox 720 comes out, I will be getting them too even though Ps3 and 360 still have life in them but hey, I want to keep up with technology :). Shouldn't have compared consoles to phones but hey, seems like phones will take over the market if the console market doesn't step up there game plan, lol. I know that phone hardware might not be on the level as console but they do have the mobility down pack. Keeping people occupied while driving, working, trips, you name it.....

Since I started using my Wonder I've had the clock set to use network values. Yesterday after battery pull it went out of sync and failed to correct the date and time. I can't seem to get it to sync. Tried several reboots, cleared caches and fix permissions, flight mode nothing works. Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Best to set the time n timezone manually then only set to synch. network values...can't really rely on the Telco's value.

In my country my Telco's time is very similar to our Satellite TV provider...so been following it ever since.

The sync. may not be accurate and I sometime believe it is a GB bug coz I had faced it before using CM7 on my HTC Tattoo.

But on the W so far had not faced it...maybe a few minutes of variance.

Why dun you try to remove the battery and let the phone be totally out of power for about ten minutes or so like using a BBerry..:)

Power back on and let it self auto sync.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
Tried pulling the battery and leaving it out for several minutes but still couldn't sync properly. It put me 2 days earlier and 3hrs late. I can't seem to force it to sync with the network.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battletux:
Hi,

Got an odd issue here. It seems that when I use an ics rom based on stock Samsung, such as foxhound or sensation, the lock screen does not work. When I unlock my phone it always goes directly to the desktop regardless of the lock screen configured.

I don't have this issue with cm9 or gb roms.

Any ideas on how to solve this? The reason I want a stock based ics rom is for a few samsung features such as the smart alarm and car interface.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You're probably missing your /efs/imei/keystr file. There are dozens of threads around detailing the fix.

[HTC One X] eteyen1:
Can someone please explain this to me once and for all as to WHY these are bad?

I've read through various threads saying not to use them but I dont understand why.

everyone says having things like 3g and wifi on all the time, and having screen on full brightness and autosync on all the time drain your battery. So when apps such as easy battery saver regulate all these different aspects, by toggling them on and off periodically, rather than them being on all the time, I fail to see how they are bad?

Maybe I'm missing something here, so can someone please explain it to me.

Cheers
[HTC One X] colobos:
Because all the stuff they do can be done manually by the user so you would be using extra battery for a app to do something you can do yourself through setting
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
ok, I get that, but surely the battery it saves by doing those things is more than the battery the app itself uses, so its still saving battery overall?

people seem to suggest that they drain battery somehow, but I cant find any explanatin for that
[HTC One X] colobos:
no basically all the stuff they do you could do yourself like changing brightness instead of having an app running all the time why not just change the brightness manually
[HTC Desire S] SubjectX:
Hey guys,

is this a feature or am I missing something?

If i set my alarm clock and turn off my desire S, it doesnt turn on when its supposed to wake me up.
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
hi.

that's pretty much how android phones work. if You switch it off completely, alarm won't switch it on. if You don't want to be disturbed at night, put Your phone in airplane mode instead. trust me - on most roms there's almost 0% of batt drain overnight (providing You don't sync/have wifi and 3g turned off), so no real reason to switch it off.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I'm not entirely sure what else you expect.

Maybe I'm being thick here, but if I turn my phone off then I certainly don't expect it to sound the alarm.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Lol :D

If by turn off you mean power off? then rofl, if you meant put device into sleep mode (ie hit power power) then you have an issue

After watching many videos and testing it myself I noticed that the quality on the audio when recording from the Amaze is horrible. I learned that this might be fixable by using a camera mod.

The audio is heavily compressed, I still don't understand its the mics on it that suck really bad, or its software.

You might be having bad blocks in boot (and maybe recovery partitions too). Try to flash a larger partition size for all partitions.
