[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I hate to say this but you are perfectly correct here. I came from the SGS1 Captivate and soft bricked my phone SO MANY TIMES I lost track. But I learned from it all. I eventually made a mistake and hard bricked it going back and forth from GB and Froyo as I had done a hundred times before without issue using Odin and flashing stock packages that had boot loaders.

Sometimes something can just go wrong in a flash, especially when dealing with primary and secondary boot loaders getting mixed. That was what happened to me with my cappy, had a rom running GB that needed the GB boot loaders to properly work. The roms seemed a lot newer at the time and had more issues than they do now. Cost me $50 or something from mobile tech videos. Still flashing that phone all the time now though thanks to the unbrickable mod.

Now back to the i777, it is what I learned over the year or so I had messed with my cappy that taught me a lot and have not even soft bricked my i777 once through what seems like a couple hundred flashes and almost ALL roms. I have EVEN flashed the early leaks that had new boot loaders and MANY stock ICS i9100 rooms that also had bootloaders. But with KNOWING how to flash it without flashing the boot loaders with mobile Odin I had no issues going back and forth. I flashed those mostly when I was pulling the modems out of the new leaks. So you live and learn.

So once you figure out HOW TO flash the Samsung phones correctly and see how easy they are to do nothing will hold you back from trying every from, tweak,etc.

Took every word out of my mouth. I even rooted my brothers phone last night since he has the Inspire and it took 10 minutes to root and install a ROM for him.
[HTC Jetstream] AlexFG:
Just wondering, I bought two JetStreams last week and both of them take a while to charge; I would say over 8 hours. My previous tablet would get fully charged in less than 4 hours.

I love this tablet and besides the usb port and audio jack placement that's the only other thing that's bothering me at the moment.
[HTC Jetstream] kailashpchhabria:
Using the 9V charger that has been provided by HTC, I can charge my tablet in around 3-4 hours - not sure though - will clock it next time I charge.

However if you use a 5V charger which is used by other phones, it will surely take longer.
[HTC Jetstream] AlexFG:
That's what I suspected, I bought these tablets on ebay and they both came with the smaller 5V chargers. Just wanted to double check, thanks for the reply.
[HTC Jetstream] harrykh:
Yea I got a small charger as well from that ebay sale. Using my iPad charger(switched the usb cable). What's weird is after a few minutes on 100% the second I unplugged it could go down to 9x%. I had to leave it for a bit longer for the charge to stick to 100% unplugged.
[HTC Jetstream] AlexFG:
Well I have tried around 4 or 5 different chargers and with all of them it's taking over 8 hours to fully charge my battery. I don't know what's the deal with this tablet, I bought the OEM genuine charger from eBay and even though it's bigger than the one that came with the device - which is a phone charger; the output voltage is the same 5V.

I tried switching the cable to my girlfriend's iPad charger and it's still taking a while; it's starting to annoy me. Battery life hasn't been an issue though, it lasts over 24 hrs under moderate use - netflix, web browsing, emails, eBook reading...etc. So I don't think it's a bad battery because it holds a charge just fine, it just takes too damn long.

Any ideas, comments or suggestions?
[HTC Jetstream] ilv2mtb:
Its not the voltage of the adapter but the output amperage that matters.

The small adapter that came with my ebay JetStream only supplies 200 milliamps (mA) and can take 2 nights to charge fully (i.e., overnight will only charge it to 60%-70%).

As a point of reference, the adapter for my Bluetooth headset is 180 mA.

My BlackBerry charger, which charges my JetStream in a several hours, has an output of 700 mA. Actually, I have never timed it, but it does not take over night to fully charge it.

The AT&T site has a HTC wall charger for the JetStream - does anyone know what the output amperage of the HTC wall charger?
[HTC Jetstream] Cperrry1:
I Have the ATT power cord.

Output 9V, 1.67A

Full charge for me is approx 3 hours, maybe a little more but i've only let my tablet go almost to 0 once.

Hope this helps, Charles
[HTC Jetstream] AlexFG:
My girlfriend's ipad charger outputs 5v, 2.1A and it still takes a while to charge with that one. All my other chargers are also 5v so i guess im gonna have to get a 9v one to see if i notice any improvement in charging time.
[HTC Jetstream] harrykh:
Output 9V, 1.67A Like this one http://www.expansys-usa.com/htc-fly...tmicro-usb-connector-uk-1-67a-tc-e500-210059/

Last post seems to apply to my problem:
[HTC Jetstream] globalgpj:
Any feedback with using alternative chargers?

It has taken one hour to give me 10% more battery life.

Edit. I'm going to order the 9v 1.67a genuine charger for 15.00. That will solve this problem, as I have the replacement HTC charger that is 5v 1a.
[HTC Jetstream] AlexFG:
i got the 9v 1.67A travel charger from ebay and it charges my tablet in less than 3 hours. the 5v htc charger that came with my tab takes over 10 hours to charge it.
[HTC Jetstream] globalgpj:
Yes,your 100% correct. Don't know why the eBay company that shipped these all in the HTC box, didn't put the original charger. I think I'll write to them, although it may not help any.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
Specifically I wonder from a development standpoint do you expect to see modifications and features within roms that cater specifically to those with the extended 2GB memory models?

It seems one would be able to change the memory management values of ICS and allow the OS to use much more memory, shutting down background processes less often, etc.....thus providing more performance.

It seems to me that having that much memory should inspire some never before seen development.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totòòò:
It will change nothing. Even 1gb is enough.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
really? enough to function but perhaps with 2GB of ram your operating system won't have to shut down background processes as often resulting in a more responsive experience? custom roms and apps could easily be written to use that extra memory. and you think that will have zero effect?

interesting
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totòòò:
I think people like you would have never felt the necessity of a 2gb if phone companies like sammy didnt introduce that concept. And the very fact that you know nothing about how it can benefit deving, proves it. I personally always have 250mb ram free and I cant imagine how to use it all. Higher ram will have an impact yes on apps, will give them the chance to be even crappier since they wont have to worry how much ram the app will use because your device will have 2gb anyways which is a lot. Take the exanple of facebook apk; now it takes 100mb. Every time u update it thr crappier it gets from ram usage point of view. And in mh opinion the higher the ram in our devices, the crappier the apks will be.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
well i guess its a good thing I don't install crapware or use facebook?

Your point about it allowing poorly written code to continue to be junk can equally be expressed as saying it will allow custom roms and well-coded apps to utilize more memory and in turn perform better.

It could also have some applications when considering running alternative operating systems like linux. Certainly a completely different operating environment would be able to benefit from more memory.

I think this device sets a precedent and will influence devices to come. I don't understand your comment about " very fact that you know nothing about how it can benefit deving, proves it"? I never claimed to know anything about "deving".

I would say we will sooner see people wanting to move to 2GB of memory than we will see people complaining that they have 2GB of memory and really want to downgrade. Progress....you're right, had Samsung never added it, we wouldn't know but I have a feeling we will soon. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
Man... this is the 3rd time I'm posting abotu this to you, but this time I will show you screen shots of my HOX and another users HOX.

The S4 was given 2gigs of ram because the Adreno and 4G LTE Radio requires quite a bit of ram to function properly. They take up about 400 mbs, so Sammy didn't want to only leave 600mb of ram to system cache and Touchwiz or whatever UI launcher you choose to use.

THis is a mistake that HTC made, and that's why the HOX and EVO 4G LTE suffers from multitasking issues.

Attached below, Tegra 3 has dedicated video ram, Adreno does not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
just FYI, you aren't obligated to post the same thing over and over, but thanks for "enlightening me" :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americasteam:
This has to be a joke. Are you kidding me? You really think adding more ram is a bad thing? Well, people like me did see the need for extra ram in this gen of phones. I wasn't going to buy the S3 until they released the specs with 2gb of ram. That sealed the deal for me. Just because the International version doesn't have the extra ram doesn't mean those that are getting the LTE variant are idiots.

The man asked a question, if you can offer no help then move on and don't post.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americasteam:
This is exactly right. The constant reloading with the One X LTE variant is extremely annoying. Props to Samsung for doing the right thing. I am impressed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
Honestly, we will have to wait and see. There are other reasons why Android kills apps. Don't forget how Android works, it fills up ram to work faster. Here's my analysis.

1. Facebook in the cache has about 20 mb of ram. I have 200 mb of ram free. I open facebook and it is 40mb of ram, but I have 180mb of ram free still. So not as much RAm is being taken up as we think.

2. A launcher is always running and RAM is always dedicated to it. Along with hat RAM, CPU usage as well.

3. Building off of 2, it can be quite possible that Android is programmed to suspend or close down apps to preserve CPU usage. So we can't blame it completely on the RAM just yet. In the case of the HOX we could because the HOX was running almost as much RAM as 512 mb ram android phones.

I bet RAM will help the US version be able to open up maybe 2 more apps than the international version, but Samsung will program it to still close the programs to down clock our CPUs to around 200 to 800 mhz so that our battery doesn't drain.

Imagine if you have to choose between battery or extreme multitasking? Imagine if you tried to do both, multitasking while running the CPUs at 800 mhz each! The phone would still lag regardless if you have 2gbs of RAM or not.

But what do I know? I'm just a Mechanical and Materials Engineer... Computer Science, Electrical and Computer engineering is way out of my league. It's just my hunches though, don't take them as facts.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totòòò:
Nobody called him an idiot. Why do you connect the 2gb ram with lte? Tmobile has no lte and is still getting 2gb ram. My whole point was that most users wont need 2gb ram. Still that doesnt mean 2gb ram is useless. It is a very good thing. Right now I have the intl version and I also have the att one x which has a s4 processor and lte and I dnt notice any speed differences so I guess there is more benefit having a 2gb ram rather than a quadcore processor.

[Nook Touch General] sswoozooss:
I put Toy Story on the Nook with subtitles to see how it fares. With the NoRefresh it's watchable. I get lost in the movie and forget it's in B/W with no sound. I don't know what to watch next on it. The new NoRefresh is tricky to get the contrast setting up during the movie but I eventually get it after a hundred taps everywhere. The last version seemed to shut down after a while, this new one works continuously with no problem.

Wow, what someone should do is make a case that has these usb addons so you could have sound and a microphone and even a camera! It might make it bulky, but considering how thin the nook touch already is I think it would still be comfortable to hold.

Have you tried contacting customer support?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poopymt3g:
yeah all they could do for me was ask me to confirm my APN settings...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
They're supposed to escalate the issue if it continues after APN settings have been verified. Although, if the APN settings are correct, provisioning in the MMSC is correct and the MMS simply aren't reaching the network there isn't much they can do. However, customer support can't check that last bit and are bad about messing up the second one occasionally. Still, they should escalate the issue to tech support and eventually engineering if the issue continues. If engineering finds that the MMS aren't reaching the network at all, there's almost always an issue with the handset itself. If the MMS are reaching the network and aren't being delivered, there may be an error or the recipient handset isn't downloading them (unlikely if you're sending to multiple recipients, I don't recommend sending MMS to yourself as a valid test unless it's to a separate line).

The Batphone

This is a flashable zip for a boot animation that will make your friends think you have a direct link to the batcave. No ****. The timing is almost perfect.

Install instructions:

Download a flashable zip of your choice.

Boot into recovery.

Flash.

Wipe caches.

Reboot.

You two different animation options, and two quality options:

Regular Batphone Low Definition

Regular Batphone High Definition

Batphone With Bling Low Definition

Batphone With Bling High Definition

Jae made a LD and HD version of both because the HD versions are pushing 11mb, and may cause the boot animation to lag. Every chip is different, we know, but I personally am running the HD Bling version, and it runs smooth and clean with no hiccups whatsoever.

DISCLAIMER:

It ain't my fault if your phone bricks or puts on a utility belt and fights crime. It isn't Jae's either. Don't flash this if you aren't already knee deep in comic books and Android know-how!

ENJOY!!!
