[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
hey pal i also bought my s2 during the same period and my batt is good enough even now

u have to check which apps is causing the batt drain for u since in ICS, also turn off ur data connection when not in use since they also cause heavy batt drain

u can try Better battery app from store to see the wakelocks that is causing batt drain:)

ps- before all change ur modem and see
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fekken:
There are a couple of reasons why your battery is performing like that.

Some of my friends have reported lesser battery life when they switched to ICS, even when running the exact same apps. So you might want to try different ICS firmwares/roms to see if that will make a difference. Although, I'm using XWLPG also and it drops ~7% overnight. Same as your's. :)

Also, if you find that your battery levels are wack, then you might have a faulty battery. On my GNote, I sometimes have to push the battery upwards while turning the phone on so that the contacts touch. I think that it may have been due to constant charging (may be wrong) So, yes, there is a possibility that your battery is getting 'old'.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
I don't use data connection and use same apps like in GB. I did check and deep sleep works, wakelocks test will have to wait till tomorrow when I charge battery fully^^

Hmm I am glad to hear you've got similar power drain during night. Perhaps ICS is really more powerhungry than GB. I will test in Better battery app for wakelocks occurence.

I don't know how and in what way the battery monitor reliable can be, especially when I see hourly battery drain. Generally sometimes I see power drain at 0.1-0.2%, sometimes at 1% but in same time CPU was doing nothing... (deep sleep).

I found Camera eats a lot of power compared to GB... or it is only my imagination :)

Uncheck your clock from automatic to manual and advance the date by a day. Now try to update again.

Try it a couple of times. If that doesn't work then the servers are off or down I guess. I am on 2.3.6 and I get the same notification when I try to update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mikerowes69:
Yea I tried pushing the date a day for 3-4 times. I assume the servers are down because they are getting ready to push the next build. I really can pick a day for this. At least everything works great from what I can tell.

eXtended Sort/Merge for Android​

Hello all !

I suppose a very few of you have ever needed to sort a file on your Android phone ...

Eventually, you can use the standard Unix 'busybox sort' program in a Terminal Emulator instance :

sort -k 1.1,1.10 -o myOutFile.txt myInFile.txt

This will sort the input file, ordering lines from the first ten characters of each line, ascending.

Applied to a 50 MB file (500,000 lines of 100 bytes each), it takes about 50 sec. on my Galaxy Note.

So, I did a port of a mainframe-like sort/merge, along with a Gui, that does the same job in 5 to 7 sec.

For those interested in testing this application (see attachments), remarks, ideas [and bugs ...] are welcome in this thread.

The attachment contains :

hxsm : the binary program

xsmgui-v.vv.apk : the Gui application

50mt.txt : a 50 MB text file, given as an example above

Installation (adb ...) :

download and unzip the attached file,

push or copy 50mt.txt to /sdcard/tmp (or any other directory you can access)

push or copy hxsm to /data/local/bin (or any other directory in the standard PATH)

make it executable : shell chmod 777 /data/local/bin/hxsm

install the Gui : xsmgui-v.vv.apk

Check you have to read/write/execute on all directories involved (chmod 777 ...)

SnapShots and further explanations on next post.

And run Xsm carefully, first using the default parameters showed by the Gui:

in all cases, I will not be responsible of any failure/dommage on your phone.

Please post if possible :

Brand and model of your Android box

Android version (Gingerbread, ICS ...)

Cpu speed

Size of files(s) sorted

Duration of the job(s)

Furthermore, if you have room on your sdcard(s), you can get a larger sample text file, by copying the basic sample (50mt.txt) several times on itself, and sort it :

on my G.N., a 1 GB file (ten millions lines of 100 bytes each) is sorted in 180 sec.

Still, enjoy !

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mindkiller_18:
Hi All developers,

I found somewhere on internet the ICS android 4.0 for Galaxy S which I think can be used to make an ICS for our Galaxy S 4G also... have a look

Web link:

pinappu.hubpages.com/hub/Samsung-Galaxy-S-firmware-update-to-Android-40-aka-Ice-Cream-Sandwich

Download Link:

ics.samsung-updates.com/ICSI9000/I9000_STOCKPLUS_ICS_RC4_v2.zip

Please try to consider it as a starter pack... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jaxidian:
Not gonna work - there is no functional RIL for us. The ROM can easily be ported if you want a Wifi-only device but there aren't many people who are interested in that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
That's actually one of our references we are using. But again, it falls back on the kernel which is being worked on...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Thankful_Noob:
Assistance?

If there is any help you all might need I would be more than happy to help you with any questions as far as the Samsung S 4G goes. Ill do my best to help the brains get this project on the map. Thank you all so much for working so hard at getting this done and making it possible to have ICS on the Galaxy S 4G. The Dev team here are brilliant. Thank you all for the man-hours put in to make this possible. Bless you all.

Does anyone know if there is a market enabler solution for rooted S3 owners?

Lots of games showing as incompatible that I reckon will work with the S3 but now way to let the market download them.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rferrett:
Anyone?

I realise that this is just being super impatient and no doubt these games will have S3 compatibility built in soon but all the same I have rubbish patience skills!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickassdave:
have been looking for the same thing, I think the lcd density modder pro app will work, as you can temporarily modify the dpi to 240, or hack the apk to pretend it's a 240dpi phone, then install the apps as normal from the market... then obviously switch the dpi back again. I haven't tried this yet, due to the fact I don't want to mess with my lovely 320dpi yet :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rferrett:
It would be most handy wouldn't it. I am assuming it is something about how ICS works than means there are no easy market enabler apps out yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodka25:
Omega v6.0 has market app enabler in kitchen files new to the s3 so don't know what its for or used it but its there
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deusdies:
It's only used for outside-US country restrictions.

OP, I think it's just a matter of editing build.prop and clearing the Google Play data and cache.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
it's probably the normal app, if so it doesn't work on the market version we have installed on the s3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodka25:
Ah ok just trying to help as seen it there like i said not used it or tried to cos not a clue what its for my bad
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
to teach you:

it spoofs your market to make it think you are on a different network/phone so you can get apps that are technically not supported for your country or phone model.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rferrett:
So this app is it only if you have the Omega rom or can you use it on any rooted S3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rferrett:
Well no joy. Installed Omega rom (glad I did about time I got a custom ROM on my phone!) and I can see the option for Market Enabler but it doesn't appear to be able to download it?

Has it been removed form the play store?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rferrett:
I missed Lenny's post 7... D'oh! Should really read threads properly!

Oh well then looks like patience is the order of the day. Anyways well pleased this thread ocnvinced me to install Omega... is boss!
[HTC One V] divinecake:
Hi, first of all I'm new to this forum so hi :)

I'm also a new owner of HTC One V and my first attempt at Smart Phones and Android in general. :D

I've heard that HTC One Vs manufactured before May, have some kind of defects. Luckily, I managed to get my hands on a HT25 which is manufactured on May.

So far based on my research I should check my unit for the following:

Yellow Rings,

Wifi Signal,

Light leaks,

Volume Controls

Are there any that I missed? Are there anything that I should be careful of, like system update, etc. Are there anything I need to do to ensure that the unit I purchased is not defective?

*Also I forgot to include, should I invest in a screen protector for it? The store is offering a mat finish screen protector but I did not avail one because I want a sharper and higher contrast screen. Is the screen scratch resistant, is it doing well without a screen protector?

Thank you very much in advance.
[HTC One V] paarthdesai:
1st of all welcome to the family mate

no u didn't missed anything

and yes investment in screen protector is must as to avoid clashes with keys and other harsh objects in ur pocket that can bring scratches to the screen

i alo recommend u to buy a case

so that if it falls u won't get a dent

-the 1st tym ul drop your mobile phone ul bang ur head thinking y did i nt purchased a cover soo as to avoid this situation i recommend you to purchase a cover

same goes with screen protectors

hope i answered all ua queries

dont just say thanks hit thanks if i helped :)

[HTC One V] divinecake:
thanks for the quick response, I'll make sure to get my baby a case and screen protector.

However I'm having problems with regards to my mobile carrier. A "Limited Service, Emergency Calls Only" is shown. And when I manually connect to my mobile provider it says "Your Sim Card does not allow a connection to this network". But sometimes it does connect, and suddenly disconnects after some time randomly. Is this some kind of a defect? If so, I should return the unit because they have 3 days replacement. Thanks

[HTC One V] Mangala_Dharma:
Personnaly I found that mate ( non reflecting ) protectors become gray after time. The colors are more dull. The fingerprints are less showy but I prefer anyway a more transparent one. You might too, so you can better appreciate your screen's vibrant colors.

[HTC One V] chevymeister:
I would flash to latest firmwares personally. Although, if you're going to install a custom rom, let the developers do it for you in order to not brick your phone.
[HTC One V] divinecake:
I ended up getting the matte finish as the screen protector, and I can say that I prefer the clearer one. It just happens that there's no clear one available atm. Regardless I can't stand the screen cover with the "HTC One V" sign in it.

Thanks for all the tips and answers. I'm loving my new HTC One V :good: Really great considering its price

This will guide you and teach you too ONLY if you read well rather than just pressing download links!

Now that we had TONS of kernels out there, It doesn't means NEWER = BETTER.

Here you will find useful links to guide on choosing which kernels fits your needs.

This is pointing out and will be guide for those people who dont know what is a KERNEL?:rolleyes:

This thread is for those who doesn't know wtf does a kernel is, for those gamers for those on stock roms for those who wants performance for those wants promising benchmark scores etc..

KERNEL? what is it?:rolleyes:

Image source here

Now that you know what a kernel does, its time to know what VSYNC (Vertical Synchronization) is?:rolleyes:

For further explanation about VSYNC, redirect here: source

Topic content:

▷Vsync on and off difference

▷FPS and vsync explanation

▷Tearing

▷Advantage and disadvantages

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now base on my experience, this are the .35 kernels (never had tried .32 so I cant point out which one is good for me) I personally found out useful and those gave me good experience on stock and custom roms.

NOTE: it doesn't means all of this are BUG free!

For stock rom 2.3 | .35 kernel

Vsync off

The smoothest one i found for stock lg rom|voff gives smoother ui transitions and scrolling

Rome-v1.3.3-cfs-vsync-off by zack here

Vsync on

Best one i tried for von on stock rom

paolo's OC kernel V3 here

you'll find the thread here but most of the links are dead

For custom roms, all cm7 based rom (miui, lewa.etc) and themed roms |.35

Vsync on

best ones i tried that gave me performance and really good experience even on games!

Ta-gb-kernel-v1.1 by thachtunganh: here

Roq kernel-IX by Roqu3: here

Roq kernels (for those who doesnt even give effort to search but rather spam and ask anywhere) here! Newer doesn't mean better

Vsync off

for benchmark HOGS and for games who need further more frames for HQ games

PP kernel v1.7 ta-gb 1.2 based, originaly by thachtunganh moded by trettet here (the best for games so far)

Candied kernels by DJnoXD here (voff with variety of touch fixes also good for heavy games but lesser benchmark scores compared from PP kernel v1.7)

I grabbed it for .99 and was excited, but was sad when my download stopped in the middle multiple times.

My workaround:

1 Start GTA and start the 400MB dld

2. Open web browser and surf for 10min or so depending on speed.

For some reason this kept the wifi connection up and working

3. Come back to GTA and make sure it downloaded, if not keep browsing
