[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
If your USB cable is connected, it wakes up instantly, if not, there is a lag. This is a feature (!) of Samsung phones. We discussed it deeply on this thread in SGS2 forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136223

Basically, it's epic failure by Samsung and there's no solution.

It can't be explained by saying phone needs to sleep, because HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola phones sleep too and none of them needs so long to wake up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxySN00B:0:
oh well in terms of when your actually using the phone, nothing compares to the speed and fluidity of Sammy phones. Isnt really an issue that it takes a second longer to wake up :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npras42:
Yes, but they also dont tend to have as good standby battery life on HTC, LG, Sony or Moto phones.

I'm not defending them completely but this is a design decision rather than a bug. That said, on the Galaxy Note it has been almost completely alleviated since the ICS upgrade.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
I noticed it only recently after screwing around @ 1.8ghz that suddenly the phone is taking sometimes millisec or sometimes even 3 secs to go to lock screen and also ripple is slowed if immediately try to unlock. I thought maybe i messed up some part of hardware by o/cing it too much. Even my old LG O3D takes just a sec. ANyway glad to know it's a common thing and not my phone being fkd up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansonator:
I can't judge, I take several minutes to wake up. :D

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongylad28:
Ive noticed this too, its frustrating, makes the phone feel laggy.

My S2 was running CM9 and that was sharp as hell, no messing about, is this something that will in time be fixed with a custom rom?

Ics roms is very lite but usually has problerm with other language software for example with arabic base softwares please help to resolve this problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gcuchiha:
Yeah. But cm9 supports these languages along with input.

So try cm9 it has rtl language support ( Arabic Farsi Urdu Hebrew )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rezz35:
This is right but for example apk software that has persian characters and installed in ics roms did'nt work normally
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gcuchiha:
Oh but I've tried al jazeera app, lots of browsers , Google translate etc with Persian Arabic etc worked fine(btw I can read and write) :confused: maybe its the problem of the application.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rezz35:
I tried to attache e few applications that install in ics without any problem but when i used its for a normal time of use those apps has been closed but i hasn't permission to attache any file for exampel itarasheh.apk has same problem

Well somehow i bricked my phone,I'm stuck on the Motorola logo,i try using sbf but it does not recognize my phone, oh yeah i had install cm7 diet rom witch really would not let me get into recovery cuz it kept saying that my phone was a htc bravo? So i try a droid bootstrap to see if that work and that's when my phone got bricked, can someone please help:(,and yes i tried going into recovery by pressing the volume and power button and it takes me into recovery and brings me to the Android and exclamation but that's it, even if i pressed the lower right corner nothing happens
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Press both volume buttons on the screen with the android and exclamation mark. That'll take you to stock recovery where you need to wipe data and factory reset.

If you have to flash the sbf again, try using sbf_flash on Linux. It'll flash in times where RSD won't recognize your phone.

Linux Live\sbf_flash tut

sbf_flash binary is in attachments

Only use Defy 2nd-init for recovery

(and once its installed, steal /system/bootmenu/* and /system/bin/bootmenu from Defy CM9 from June 5th on up -- touch bootmenu is pretty awesome; replacing the bootmenu isn’t for the feint of heart.)
[Bravo General] ssfirme:
the only problem is i dont have linux i have windows 7:(
[Bravo General] short_sam:
Use rsdlite sri I don't have a link on me :(
[Bravo General] splintnote:
Had same type of problem on Friday. Followed this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1559109 now I'm back up and running.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I dual boot between the two:p

If you have a blank cd and a usb drive\sdcard you can just use a Linux Live environment -- you never install Linux at all -- and you can use sbf_flash from there.

RSD Lite version that works and tutorial

And since it hasn't been mentioned yet, holding volume up + power on boot access the boot recovery to flash sbf's. Just make sure you have at least 50% battery before flashing or you might get an actual brick.

What your dealing with is nothing more than a recovery screw up. I had the same problem last night installing touch recovery -- it wiped /bootmenu/ instead of installing to it. Solution is to flash sbf, reboot, wipe data/factory reset from stock recovery, reboot, eebluroffee at first screen, root, enable non market apps, Defy 2nd init flash something that's better than stock.
[Bravo General] ssfirme:
ok i install the motorola usb drivers and start up rsd lite but it does not regocogize my phone
[Bravo General] ssfirme:
yes i have it in bootloader mode
[Bravo General] splintnote:
Did you install everything before plugging phone in?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Try uninstalling everything motorola related and reinstalling just the drivers....On a previous Win7 install nothing was recognized, but on a reinstall of the entire system it worked fine and still does. I still recommend the Linux way over RSD because it will flash your phone regardless, provided you can access the loader.

I still haven't gotten native tethering to work with Windows, but then again, I quit trying sometime around December or January.
[Bravo General] djpalchemist:
This is for all those people who are having trouble flashing with RSDlite in Vista & WIndows 7.

If I am right, RSD lite does not seem to recognize the sbf file after you select it and instead the "start" button remains grayed out.

If that's the case, here the solution:

I had a similar problem and sucessfully used the command line parameters for RSDlite to force a flash. I managed to get a signed/unsigned firmware installed.

You need to copy the firmware you want to flash into the RSDlite directory in your program files folder.

Make sure you are in bootloader mode first.

Then, open command prompt and "cd" to the RSDlite directory

eg:

> cd C:\

> cd Program Files

> cd motorola

> cd RSDlite

>

now for the flashing type:

> SDL.exe -f xxxx.sbf -t 2

where xxxx.sbf is the firmware you are flashing to the phone.

flashing will begin shortly afterwards.

It worked for me, but in the end, show FAIL STATUS.
[Bravo General] etchekre:
Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much!

After several hours of messing with my brothers Bravo, I finally got it working by following your instructions.

hard bricked my phone

hello. i'm looking for any help to this issue: i believe i hard bricked my bravo somehow. it was running one of the first MIUI rom for two or more years. but became slow and laggy thru last months. and the other day it just freezed while i was browsing the call log. no reaction to the pover button at all, had to take out the battery. now it gives no reaction to any combination of button presses ( power; vol up + power ; vol down + power), the only signal what see is white LED light when į connect the phone to the PC. When phone is connected to the pc freshly, and when i press Vol down + Power, Windows 7 releases "clink" sound and device manager tries to show that "Motorola USB Device" is connected, but quickly disapears with another Windows sound. RDS lite 5,0 doesnt recognize phone too.

Is there any chance to bring this phone alive? :) any advise will be appreciated.

p.s. english isn't my native. sorry for the mistakes
[Bravo General] jasonmerc:
Not sure if this will help since I did not watch the video myself, but a quick Google search gave me a video describing how to take a Motorola USB cable and modify it to unbrick a phone. I did not watch the video yet so I don't know how relevant it is to your problem. But just by looking at the video preview it looks like the difficulty level may be pretty high... Here is the link:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panamamike:
I've seen a few posts mentioning a best set of steps to root Mini Pro.

I don't see it in the guide, it simply mentions different root options.

Is there a guide that indicates first rooting GB and backing up to get ready to root or install ICS?

Also, I'd love to see an option similar to what they have for B&N Nook, Nookie, where the ROMS can be loaded from the memory card rather than affecting the actual phone image.

Regards,

Mike

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWR:
This has been asked a few times already but no-one seems to have a definite answer: Is there any way to permanently remove the list of numbers from behind and above the keypad on the phone screen? This list seems to be a mishmash of recent calls and addressbook numbers, with no rationale to it. It causes two problems:

1: It exposes confidential information to anyone who observes you using the phone to make a call.

2: Brushing against this list with a loose shirtsleeve, or any object with a static charge on it, causes unwanted dialling of a recent caller. You are then being eavesdropped on, probably without your realizing it.

The menu has an option to change this list to display speed-dial numbers only, which would be satisfactory IF the change was saved between calls. But, it isn't. Hang up, call again and the recent numbers are back. :mad:

The HD2 is a great phone except for one ot two annoying glitches, of which this is by far the worst. Any advances on previous threads requesting ways to remove this feature?

How much is "normal" for Ram usage?

When i look in task manager it shows i have around 610 of 780 in usage.If i close all apps i can get down to 480 for some minutes and then up again.

I know apps starts faster if i dont clear this memory.

But i just wonder if it should be so high as 600?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
This is normal, having more RAM used up normally means it will actually run faster e.g. frequent apps opening faster etc. since they're cached in RAM

I guess this is to say it works more like the change from WinXP to Vista/7? People were freaking out because there appeared to be so little free RAM, while it was simply using a more aggressive caching mechanism.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diu7:
hi guys i wuold like to ask you if you know an apk or a website or something that somehow shows me the exact milliamperage of the battery and not only the duration in calls, internet etc. why? because i bought a battery claimed to be 3250 mh so i wanted to know if it's actually the real amperage

i don't like to compare the stress test of the 2 batteries, because i don't like doing the stress test in general on the phone :p

thanks bros

I'm getting a lot of background noise no matter which station I listen to.

I tried both the HOX & the S3 & the HOX is as clear as a bell.

Is anyone else getting background with the FM Radio? Its a like a buzzing, whurring sound
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moulip:
Hi

I swapped my one X for the gs3.

I use to face a really annoying issue with the .fm radio on the HTC.

Often when I wanted to deactivate the radio, I didn't have anymore sound in the phone.

I had to go back to the radio app wait for the sound to come back and then deactivate it again. This way the sound was back. Did you notice such a bug ?

Therefore I have also noticed the background noise on the Samsung. I also didn't have that on the HTC.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
I'm guessing not many people use the fm radioby the lack of responses.

Even if you don't use it can you have a go & let me know if you have the issues I have mentioned.

Its really poor if this is a fault with the s3

Has anyone tried a different radio app?

Is there anyway of letting samsung know about this problem?

Can the Devs do anything about it with their Roms?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeMaCheHi:
Hi everyone, this is my first post!

I'm having this issue since I bought this phone (used). When I put it to charge on AC, it starts to heat. The real trouble comes when I'm calling while charging. It overheats so much, and eventually reboots. I have a call plan which lets me talk 90 minutes paying only the first, and I often have to charge it while I'm talking, so this is a true problem for me.

I've been thinking about this for long time. First I thought that could be the screen, but I discarded that possibility. Since the mayor overheating occurs when I'm using call app, I thought it could be an antenna issue. However, I think it could be the charger plug too.

What do you think? Could you help me?

Thanks in advance, and so sorry for my crappy english... :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
This isn't antenna or charger. The heat comes from the SoC (the "main" phone chip) itself. Is the cellular reception bad where it overheats?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeMaCheHi:
Phone's reception is ok when it overheats. The most heated zone is down the screen, around the trackball, plug charger... As I said, it only overheats when I'm charging it...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
@JEMACHEHI . its normal to get heated while charging. but if it reboots regularly while charging n calling then there is some hardware issues. my n1 behaved in the same manner and it died 1 month back :(

PS - is your's a SLCD variant? ??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeMaCheHi:
In first place, thanks for your interest, n1newbie, and sorry for my late reply. My n1 is not a SLCD variant but AMOLED variant. I was thinking about something. Maybe the plug charger is the problematic hardware. Everyone knows that phone heats more than normally when you're calling. So, if we combine the defective harware with the calling, we got the overheat and reboot issue.

What do you think about? Could I open up my N1 and try to replace the plug charger and see if it works?

Whatever, thank you so much again. Greets.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The plug doesn't heat up - it just can't, physically impossible - there's nothing to heat up. Either the charging circuit does, or the charging circuit is off and you get overcharging and the SoC ("CPU") is overheating. And it's also possible that your battery is overheating when charged and causing you the trouble. I'd suggest starting with battery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
Are you charging via mains socket i.e. fast charge? You could try a USB charge (slow charge) when you're talking on the phone, USB charger from PC or even via mains socket. This should help reduce the level of heat on the battery to some extent. Might be worth trying.

Also if you're rooted you could try setcpu and reduce your max CPU a little when on a charge e.g. 800MHz
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeMaCheHi:
@Jack_R1

I did it. I changed my battery some time ago cuz I thought this could be the problem. It's not. Battery reaches around 37 degrees when phone reboots. When not charging, It can take up to 43 or even more. About plug, I know it can't heat, but I've noticed that any male plug fits correctly into female plug, so I wandered if that could be the problem.

@cpm

If "fast charge" means "stand socket", nope, I don't charge that way. I said I do it via AC. As you said, if I charge via USB my phone will reduce the level of heat. However what I want is to fix that problem, and can charge my phone pluging in a wall plug. As Jack_R1 suggested, I'm starting to think that is the charging circuit the problematic...

In any case, thanks a lot guys, you rule. And sorry for my English again :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeMaCheHi:
Hi again guys!

Last night I was calling and charging through AC, and I did what you said. I underclocked to 806 MHz and it didn't rebooted. I did it before opening this thread, but I underclocked to 900 or something, and it rebooted. Thanks a lot man, your solution worked for me as a temporal solution.

However, I'm still concerned about that overheating issue. I think this could damage my phone , and I have no money for buying another one. Anyone have any permanent solution?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
sry wrg post :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
Permanent solution is to send it off to htc under warranty. First flash the stock rom. They can see the serial number, and then see if it is still under warranty. Email them the problem and serial number...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeMaCheHi:
mentlyzo como

My phone is out of warranty, so that's not an option. I'll take the previous as a solution, then. Underclocking worked fine. Please someone, close thread or whatever.
[Galaxy S II General] AdamLange:
I'm proudly present my latest tool which can easly and fast handle the cache.img files in every Samsung ROM!!

[size=+2]Cache Ripper[/size]

[center]
USAGE: CacheRipper.exe <cache.img> <output.zip>
[/center]

​

What id does?

- It takes a cache.img file and unpacks the cache inside it to widely readable and reusable zip file :)

What for?

- Current methods requires you to convert cache.img to ext4 format and then use some weird tools to mount it as filesystem and then you can see/unpack the contents, using Cache Ripper you simply provide two arguments to it which is cache file and output zip file and voila! after a blink of an eye you got cache file and you can read/modify it and FLASH WITH CWM!!!

as it contains all things needed to flash (including scripts).

Disclaimer:

If you want to use this tool, please credit me in your project :)

If you find it helpfull, click donate and buy me a beer :)

Good article.
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
I'm not sure of this, just guessing, but about 80 percent or more of the us population owns a smartphone made by either Motorola, Samsung, or HTC. If just the three of them took a stand together against the carriers it would shift power to them. Not everybody is gonna get an iPhone, and manufacturers like ZTE and haweai (however you spell it) aren't well known enough to take over. Carriers will have no choice but to listen to them.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
I'm really glad Samsung made all the models the same. It's already hard enough to get good accessories if you don't have an iPhone. So many companies have overlooked some great Android phones because it was shaped different from this phone, etc, etc.

I can honestly say that was the only thing the iPhone had going for it. I hope the other manufactures hey on board.
