[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
I've had great experience with Steinheil screen protectors by SGP in the past.

I ordered the Ultra Crystal for the s3 and just received it. See my attached photos.

Their presentation PLUS customer service touch is awesome.

They even used some sort of birthday wrapping for my package and got a HAND WRITTEN post it note from them.

I have never gotten anything like this from any other companies.

(Yes the package is bent, but thats from the mail - not their fault. Their packaging was actually pretty large and was lined with bubble wrap. I will just leave them under a dictionary for a bit and they will be fine. I wont get the phone until 27th anyway)

Where I bought from - http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SPIGEN-SGP-S...ccessories&hash=item3f17719a53#ht_3939wt_1163
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaal1010:
Yeah their products are definitely top notch. Has anyone else pre-ordered an SGP Optics screen protector and heard anything about the dates yet?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
I wish that they'll change their mind (workout the problems), and eventually release the Ultra Oleophobic too.

@Wond3r

Can you post a picture of your S3 after you apply the screen protector ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
Sure, no problem. Again that will probably be on the 27th or 28th though
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NatTheCat:
Nice..What a great company. Might just order one myself now

My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
Did you order it from the official website? here? http://www.spigen.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aturyan:
SGP is top when it comes to screen protectors. Also, if you need free shipping on their products, CreTouch.com, an authorized sgp dealer offers free shipping.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NewForce:
Have tried some other well known brand including Martin Field,

I would like to say SGP screen protector simply the best on current market.

It's very good on touch sensitivity and sliding smoothness across it.

liamR,

I shared the same wish. Ultra Oleophobic was top on my list for easy to clean the finger prints and the oil.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
I actually ordered it off ebay, but it was from the SGP usa seller. So still technically from them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wai_lai416:
ya i love SPG product except i don't deal with the own website no more.. i ordered a one x screen protector and been asking for them to send me another one since the original ones were poorly designed and doesn't stick to the curve edge.. told me they sent me another one but don't have tracking numbers for it.. and won't send me another one and said if you want refund u can send as back your original but make sure you ship with tracking or there's no way they'll know they receive it or not... so ya i gave up dealing with their website and ordered my s3 from one of their resellers instead ~~
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sidn3y:
Love SGP screen protectors. Have they mentioned anything about making an actual glass protector like the glass.t?

I'll be ordering one of their flip cases also. Think they look better than the official flip case, and the Zenus flip cases look gaudy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yugernaut:
Is possible for the Motorola Droid to install another Linux dristro for the webtop like at the ATRIX or the DROID Bionic?? Thanks!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
Oh noes, brace yourself, the fancy titles are coming.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yugernaut:
striking titles are just to call the attention to my post only. If they are Wrong please tell me and I won´t do it again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
No they don't, honestly people like to ignore those types of titles.

Did you know how many thought I spent about "if I really should risk my intelligence to open this thread "...?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yugernaut:
Ok I'll remember that when I open another thread. THANKS!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
Glad to mock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yugernaut:
Sorry but someone can tell me if its possible in the Droid Razr to install another Linux distro replacing the webtop distro?

thanks!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nealed:
In the development dection you can find info... possible to install gentoo or ubuntu as webtop - but not possible on ICS yet. Kholk - very talented developer - may port to ICS at some stage in future
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beartard:
To answer the question, there are threads on this forum and others about installing Ubuntu and Gentoo Linux in place of the stock webtop environment on Gingerbread ROMs. Motorola/Verizon (US) are pushing out the Ice Cream Sandwich update within a week, by the looks of it. ICS (so far) hasn't given the devs the same flexibility, as Motorola has de-linuxed their webtop environment.

Short answer: yes, but not at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yugernaut:
Thanks ok I will wait for the ICS on the verizon razr, and I supose that the Verizon upgrade to ICS will incorporate webtop no?

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
In ICS there is no Linux in Webtop. It becomes Android in tablet mode.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yugernaut:
ooook! Thanks that´s more specific respond thak you very much!

One note- ICS firmwares use modified/incompatible squashfs header which unsquashfs can't handle. Just mount unpacked .suqshfs as loop if such problem occurs
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] it's:
I extracted the code for the most Archos apps awhile ago. I can tell you they all rely on Archos frameworks(starting with mediacenter which handles video+music and ending up with a systemmonitor), so you need to get that on your Prime first. And you shouldn't forget you can get some signing problems when compiling them.

P.S. G8 apks are more easy, but they all still use archos frameworks. ;)

Hi,

Require help please my Neo gets hot and battery drain is very fast (less than 10 hours) since rooting. I upgraded to ICS, fw 4.0.3, Doomlord root, fw 4.0.4 after which it get warmer but has steadily got hotter and battery drain got quicker.

Main apps battery usage are

Android system 35%

cell standby 30% (wdmca/gsm)

screen 10%

phone idle 10%

wifi 8%

facebook 6%

Downloaded and installed pc companion phone recognised and connects, but when using repair get usb device not recognised, have MTP set, unknownn sources set, usb debugging set.

Have tried flashtool to install .42 fw, phone connects but when try to flash (phone off) get usb device not recognised. pc companion not running

Have un installed, downloaded and installed pc companion 3 times and still same, any ideas please
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
i had the heating up issue on stock ICS 4.0.3 even when i rooted it...

now am on custom ROMs and very rarely get the phone hot as a brick...

if you want to enjoy the full potential of your phone... you can go custom with many options available out here...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] geekynoob:
Get one thing clear.. Rooting has nothing to do with thephone HEATING.. NOOO lConnections at all...!

Y du u need pcc for flashtool?? Just remove the usb drivers from ur pc.. Click Usb debugging in ur phone connect and Reinstall thm..Open flashtool and select files..thn connect it in flashmode..!

And flash baseband 64 if u want to try..it helps..on ics 4.0.4

and REMOVE the facebook app.. it Sucks battery...

i m running ics. With normal usage i cn get more thn a day easy..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Tried different usb port?

Tried different usb cable?

Tried different pc?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kenrw:
Madifysh thanks, flashtool working (0.42) on different usb port.

bombayboy thanks but 64 baseband flash failed so flashing with 0.42.

will update with stock .62 and wait for sony official neo 4.0.4 in uk
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kenrw:
strange used flashtool to flash 0.42, then used seus the reinstall and said latest fw installed but I continued to install and got 4.0.4 must have done something wrong. Oh well see how it goes.
[HTC EVO 3D] VictoriousShooter:
I don't know if its just my phone or not, but every deodex sense Rom that I've ever used is laggy to the extreme.

It's almost unusable.

Any advice?
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
My 3vo runs both fine. Are you flashing correctly? (Full wipe all partitions except SD, then flash)
[HTC EVO 3D] VictoriousShooter:
Yes. 4ext wipe all except sd at least twice.

It's like this on meanrom, viperrom, coolrom. Any ics sense Rom that is deodex.

Hi, all

I'll be switching over to AOKP (probably once build 40 comes out) from Juggernaut, but my only hesitation is losing the stock camera app, which I've come to love.

Any recommendations for a replacement with the same feature set? That is, one that takes advantage of all the tweaks available for our camera (exposure, metering, ISO, white balance). I don't care so much about filters (I prefer taking "regular" photos) or upload/sharing capabilities. I just want to take high quality shots with a stable app, preferably one that's not particularly resource heavy.

From what research I've read, these are the apps on my watch list:

Camera360

CameraZoom FX

Vignette

IgCamera

Any recommendations? Thanks, all

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theartialmartist:
When I calibrate via Battery Calibration after reaching a 0mA remaining charge via that Current Widget, since it takes a full minute or more of heavy lifting to do a real reboot, it's already at 46,000mA by the time i'm back up.

Will the fake/quick reboot i.e. Fast Boot still write the new file?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Spankly:
I think it writes a generic one till it gets real stats. Not sure on this though and I welcome someone to correct me as I have also been interested in this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theartialmartist:
People who have performed the calibration: what does your mA meter in the Current Widget read after you boot back up?

also, I think I flashed 1.82 from Scotts collection of kernels after the fact, is this making things worse?

Halp :( if I don't get to at least 4 hours screen time with such minimal settings (i'm on 20% brightness ffs) I may have to return this beauty
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fluxgfx:
Battery calibration is a myth... FYI... sigh. Are battery are Li-ION base they can't be calibrated. There's multiple factual sites that can confirm this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JCon0320:
Have you tried doing a battery test using htc diag? if not, the process of doing so is as follows:

-Charge your phone to full. (wait till LED light is green)

-Activate airplane mode by going to settings.

-try to kill as much running apps as you can in the background. Don't worry about some of them restarting.

-dial *#*#3424#*#* then select agree.

-select "more" below, and then select battery test. follow the on screen instructions afterward.

-make sure that you check your results exactly after 1 hour later because the screen will stay on even the test is done. So your results might show a different number.

If you get a result lower than 85, you might want to consider exchanging your phone for a new one, or doing a factory reset and trying this test again. In case you are curious, I did the test earlier today to check how mine is doing and got a result of 92. Let us know your results if you indeed do the test.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theartialmartist:
thank god there's a semi scientific independent way to verify this. ill run it asap. just to be clear, I just read about this test elsewhere and they mentioned a "score" of 85 vs the battery percent being below 85% after completion, can you clarify? does it matter that im already on cleanrom lite 3.0?

im now suspecting the issue is a combination of sense, 4g and spotty wifi coverage a(considering investing in a new bad ass router with dd-wrt aftermarket firmware)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
"Screen on" time is going to vary depending on your usage/signal quality/hardware requirements/etc.

My question(s) is, do you let the phone sit on the charger for any amount of time after it has reached a "full" charge? Also, how many charge cycles have you gone through (after installing a new ROM) before you make these assumptions? Do you use WiFi regularly or mostly mobile data? What are your "sync" settings? What is the ratio between your "Screen-on" time to your "Standby/Idle" time?

If you take a look over in the "

Battery Stats Thread

", you might see that, depending on your usage (and other variables) 4 hours screen time is not that bad.

Also, as others have mentioned, "calibrating" a battery (which is essentially deleting the "battery stats" file) is not necessary.

http://www.androidcentral.com/wipin...tery-life-says-google-engineer#comment-363054
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theartialmartist:
I let the phone charge to very close to 0mA via current widget

I don't see how a particular ROM needs to learn your battery stats - if calibration isn't necessarily (I do it anyway with a new rom,) what does the ROM have left to learn?

Mix of wifi and mobile

auto syncing one email address + contacts

ratio is at 6.5 (total time/screen on time)

can you comment on the *#*#3424#*#* battery test? is it accurate?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JCon0320:
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. If you could point me to that article that you are talking about, that would help. To answer your question, It doesn't matter what your ROM is. I am running sick sense when I did the test. As for the accuracy of the test and why I said that the baseline score is at least 85, most if not all of the people who performed this test who claimed to have good to great battery life had a score of at least 85. So it is reasonable to think that getting a score that is on par with most rules out the issue of having a faulty battery.

In my opinion, most of the battery issues that us ATT one X owners face, especially those that are in LTE areas are software related. In my knowledge, the main thing that influences the battery life apart from the actual battery is the kernel and the radio. At the moment, we do not have the source for the kernel yet. So, it cannot be truly optimized beyond the current tweaks that are being done by the wonderful devs. Until the source is released, I think that flashing a good radio, (new leaked 2.09 for AT&T) using a cpu editor, and following simple battery saving strategies is the way to go... And before I end this, I just want to mention that calibrating the "battery" is impossible. The only thing that can be calibrated is the "battery meter" on every ROM. :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
It's not the "ROM" per se, but rather just allowing the phone build "cache".

In other words, when you install a new ROM, sometimes you need to format it first, so all the cached files will be deleted. So when you first use the phone after installing a new ROM you might spend a lot of time re-installing apps and the phone is building cache which takes energy writing the files, not a lot but I feel it might be significant enough to wait until at least the 3rd charge cycle, once you have your apps and widgets set up. For example, the gallery app needs to save the thumbnail cache and so on. I hope that makes sense.

Of course, this would be irrelevant if you were just updating your ROM but I thought I'd mention it anyways. Going back and re-reading your situation I think it might be some other software issue that is draining your battery, not the battery calibration. As for the dial code, I wouldn't know, sorry. Hope you figure it out, I just don't think it's worth the time to stress over "battery calibration/stats", it is more likely a kernel/ROM issue or a hardware issue (the battery itself).

Yeah, what he said. :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theartialmartist:
The cache things makes perfect sense. Happy to report I got a score of 92 percent after the battery test! Now playing with settings. I changed to a new no-lte apn and got really spotty coverage and endless disconnections. Can someone post their best 4g, 3g and 2g apns?

Besides flashing the new 2.0 or whatever kernel can somebody recommend anything else to save battery? A link to a good launcher?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
Apex Launcher. It improves battery life quite a bit (in my experience anyways). Also, go through the "Sense" applications, like Weather and Stocks, and make sure you

disable

sync for them since you can't use the Sense widgets in a 3rd party launcher. You can do it by going to [Settings > Accounts & sync] and selecting each one then making the appropriate changes.

Hi.

First of all I have to say that I found similar threads in this forum such as this and this and this but the problem is, they either provide use SEUS as a solution (which is only for sony ericson) or Flashing the entire phone.

I have a Motorola Charm phone with Android 2.1 firmware, and like everyone else tried rooting my android (using SuperOneClick, which went well) and installing apps2sd, but failed to do so due to lack of memory, and now I've lost the shell access, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and what not.

The command "adb shell" gives me this error:

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Exec format error (8)

I can't flash the phone due to the contacts, notes, and other important info I have on the phone. If there's a way to backup these info and then flash, please let me know. If there is a solution for this without the need to flash the phone, I'll appreciate it. Any help would be appreciated!

Again thanks a lot for your help. This problem is frustrating and I need my phone back asap!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iV0R73X:

This problem is frustrating and I've almost lost half of my entire phone functionality, all I can do is texting and calling. It's no different from an old Nokia phone running Symbian!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iV0R73X:
Please, I need an answer. I can't just wipe the data, there are info I need to keep. I have to backup the data before flashing the phone...

I've tried several tools such as Wodershare MobileGO, but none of them work because they usually need shell access, and that doesn't work.

Does anyone know about a tool that can backup the internal phone memory without using ADB?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iV0R73X:
OK I did it but it still didn't work!

I master reset the phone, which wipes all the data and resets the phone back to the factory settings, but the WiFi is still not fixed and now I can't even call since the phone requires me to login and to do that it needs an internet connection...

Nothing was fixed. I'm brain-dead.

Anyone has a solution for this??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Snags697:
So what state is your phone in right now?

Even without shell access, you may be able to explore the filesystem with adb, using the pull subcommand. Finding a usable version of sh (perhaps in somebody's nandroid backup), and pushing it to /system/bin/sh may help you get shell access back.
