I wanted to know the very same thing when Telus gave me back my phone unrepaired saying that there was water-damage. I was angry because I had never wet the phone and the external indicators were clean.

I yelled and complained and the crappy shop they sent it to sent back photos of my phone's board. They circled some dirt/salt or something, but there were no internal indicators that I saw. When I contacted Samsung directly they fixed it for me and apologized for the 'confusion'.

If your external indicators are clean, then you can always argue that this proves you used your phone properly and normally (and kept it out of water). If internal indicators show liquid, its evidence of some kind of defect that the phone is unable to vent the humidity or something. I think this would stand in small claims court.

And helping people get free tethering is any different? Just wondering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
That in a way is very diff...we pay for our internet..how we choose to use it shouldn't matter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Not saying I disagree with you. But technically both are against the "rules".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
Yea but xda allows talk about hot spot work around, but it's against rules to talk about how change things to fraud Tmobile. Like water indicator, or black listed work around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 96shox:
By your logic, OP is payed for the phone , he should be covered no matter what. Or he payed for insurance and should be covered even if the phone was dropped in a toilet.

and anyways, maybe he's buying a used phone and wants to check if its damaged. Cant just assume fraud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kylephillips66:
Either way, its best not to submit a claim if there has been any damage to the device. The fee can get a little large, usually more than the php claim
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
So basically this is a general discussion or chit chatting for all of you about which governer is better ,best etc. I/O schedulers etc.

You can also ask question, queries about your current settings is it good and etc.

There are also three sections in this post too. Recommended settings by me, Tested ones. And also ones that I am testing. Those that I have tested have my remarks on them too :)

RECOMMENDED

Here are my recommended No-Frills CPU settings:

Max:1200

Min:300

Gov. InteractiveX(Gives a lot of performance boost and also battery friendly)

I/O: BFQ(Im now checking out other IO schedulers after found a good or better one i will update :) )(and also Because it fixes this issue.)

These are the setting that gives me the best/positive results on my unit. I do not OC as I see no obvious differences in speed as these settings are already more than good enough. And furthermore OC will decrease the life of the device so no point. ;)

TESTED

I have tested these:

Max:1200

Min: 300

Gov: Smartassv2

IO: SIO

Remarks: I have tested these and I must say the performance and battery life was almost as good as those of the recommended settings :) These do perform almost the same as the recommended ones but battery wise is definitely an out for these if compared to the recommended one. :) I personally would still recommend and prefer those in the recommended section as both almost perform the same and this is more unbattery friendly.

TESTING

This are the settings that I am testing now:

Max: 1000

Min: 300

Gov: Conservative

IO: Noop

Remarks: So as usual, I will test and report back after about a week. As of now, performance wise, these really lose out to all the others that are present in this post. But battery wise its definitely a clear winner :)

first i have to say that there are big differences in CPU-Tools... i got myself cpumaster,nofrills and finally setcpu... cpumaster made my phone laggy even with lionheartgovernors and stuff...nofrills has no support for different profiles...so i highly recommend invest the little mlney for the incredible setcpu. basically i use smartassV2 at 1000mhz min 300mhz with sio scheduler...and then much profiles like change to vr scheduler when playing videos or in call 600mhz max or at night when i sleel keep the phone at 300mhz max; )

Hi. I was just wondering... Do Kernel Govs and I/O selections match well with V6 Supercharger? Or is it better to supercharge with a stock kernel?

Sorry for the noob question. Im just concerned if its possible that all these mods im applying might be cancelling out each other at some point... Or worse might be contradicting each other too... :D

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Nope they don't they do different things :). Supercharger manages minfree values while governors and schedulers manage the CPU speed

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
In my opinion, this topic is kinda useless.

I know and i respect your effort, but these settings

really

depend on the user and how they use the device.

If i try the same settings and try it myself, i will probably have another opinion and other results.

Benchmarks mean nothing.

Also many other threads all over XDA were made to explain governors and I/O schedulers, and users can simply Google it and read, then chose what suits them.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
Yea... but this is particularly for our device and I did do a remarks section to what is better for performance and battery. So that the user will better know which one suits them :) I didnt mention anything about benchmarks... right?

Press Thanks if I helped :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
The benchmarks note was for other people, it's in another line :)

Also, it doesn't matter if it's for our device or not, the topic give YOU the best results, others will probably have to test themselves, so i still see no point in this.

However, i am just saying my opinion, good luck :)

I have a TF101 running a ROM based on stock Asus and I would like an application that adds the ability to pass Google Voice's SMS to a messaging app the way that Google Voice SMS Integration does (it doesn't work on TF101). Does anyone know of another app that does this?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] kendive:
RAZR MAXX Rooted and I am running titanium backup. Noticed even though I have an app froze it still updates in the market.

I thought that freezing the app would make it invisible to the market?

What am I missing...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
there's settings in Titanium backup for that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kendive:
I have always had that checked on "Remove Market entry"

Example:

I have gmail froze and even rebooting the razr they still show up in the play store for updates???

What gives...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichaelMcC:
Where there used to be a file on the phone with the list of apps installed that the market used to know what may or may not need updating, the latest market update stores a list of apps on its own server now. So the list that titanium modifies no longer works. The only way to get the updates off the update list is to uninstall the app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
I'm not sure if this option is available on GB (been on ICS for too long) but just use the stock features to remove them. I've uninstalled or disabled all "bloat" from my phone from the stock settings which also removed the market links and they no longer attempt to update. This is probably less likely to affect OTA's.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
So ICS gives you the option to remove just about any app (as long as it is not crucial to to OS)?

Gmail is required to use market.

Pretty much. It let me delete some apps like the golf game. Here's the ones it let me disable.

I confirmed in /system/app with root explorer and the .apk files are still there. They aren't renamed to .bak like I believe Root Explorer does.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
i stopped using TB a month ago when i found out it was causing massive battery drain on my device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
Awesome, thanks. Do those are no longer pulling from the market for updates? Or show up in a task manager as running?

Would be nice to save a bit more battery to not have all that running.

I have most of it set in my task manager to auto-kill.. but they always seem to pop up
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Backup Assistant and Zumo are the only two I can't disable. No other "bloat" runs. Using an autokiller is bad. The apps will continue to open and close and drain your battery even worse than just letting them run.

I checked the market and it shows the bloat is installed and COULD be updated but they don't pop up requesting updates.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichaelMcC:
Although ICS allows deleting bloatware how can it be confirmed that deleting the bloat will not mess up OTA updates right now, since theoretically all the Razrs should be on GB.

Just curious..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
That's not confirmed. I'm on the first ICS leak so I can sbf back to GB, then OTA. Which I'll have to do since I've deodexed my phone and installed the 1% battery mod. But I'm sure the OTA will be posted on XDA before it ever finds my phone. So I'll probably install it manually which is what I assume everyone else on the leaks will be doing.

There is a small chance that an OTA will pop up since the system # should be higher than those of the leaks. In that case the OTA SHOULD install on a leak with disabled system apps since no system apps have been removed or altered, just disabled in factory settings.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kendive:
That would be sweet...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kendive:
I don't think that is true. I have removed gmail completely and google play (Market) still works great...

I use K9 Mail and love it. I hate Gmail and Yahoo mail apps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kendive:
I tried using Root Explorer and renamed a few apps with ._bak and that seemed to work so far...

HI Everyone,

So here's what I did.

I installed clockworkmod recovery using rom manager (after unlocking and rooting) and then installed the touch recovery using the blob method.

then i booted into cwm touch recovery and was fiddling around when i touched "key test" in the advanced menu.

I got a message that debugging mode is on or something like that and 'press "back" to exit debugging mode"

It shows me a number based on what key I press or which direction i swipe etc. but i cant go "back" :confused: :eek: which means i'm stuck here!

now in my previous device (x10 mini pro) i just used to yank the battery out in case of screw ups like this. but i obviously cant do that in my prime. and i dont want to wait till the battery runs out.. prime has a gigantic battery it could be a full day till that happens! :P

Please...somebody... help!

EDIT: NVM Held power button +vol_down for a few seconds and it rebooted :)

Thank you so much. I thought I was going to have to wait for the battery to die.

Just saying.. you should really install twrp instead of cwm... it will burn you at some point.... if you dont want to go the nvflash route with the modded bootloader.. message me cause I do have an older version that doesn't require it....

yup.. that's what I did, eventually instaled TWRP... after i had some issues with backups in CWM.. dont remember what :) never looked back since :D

Download Juggernaut directly from the computer then transfer to your SD card then boot to recovery wipe data cache and dalvik cache 2x each then reflash rom from SD card 2x then reboot.

Hi All,

I have recently flashed Runny Rom v6.05 for n1. After installing and first boot i was able to add widgets to my home screen from personalize menu.

I did some tweaking from RCMix3d menu (disabled clock in drop down, show settings in notifications by default etc. .......nothing major.

Now i am not able to add any widget, app or shortcut from personalize menu. As i add it after finishing all setting for the widget when i press apply, the screen just returns to my default home screen and nothing happens.

This is really frustrating as i am not able to do any customization to home screen now. I have reflashed once and have seen the same issue.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nalitox:
Thank you, but no thank you. The first one is Metro, indeed. But it is WP7 Metro and not W8 tablet Metro. And here is the issue. The launcher was designed for smartphones, for small displays. It looks weird on big screens.

The second one is not Metro, but an (ugly) interpretation of if. I really don't like all these launchers that are basicly same. LauncherPro, GoLauncher, ADW - they are all the same, absolutly not innovative. I miss something like this home screen replacement (i forgot the name) that showed only text, news, feeds, stuff like that. That was awesome, but unfortunatly the project was canceled.

I wonder why there is no real innovation anymore. As far as I know, Android is the best plattform for developting stuff like that.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
When I had my EVO 4G I had no WIFI issues at home or work. When I got the EVO 3D I had serious issues with WIFI (at home only) and I kept blaming the phone. Well after turning some options off (like turbo boost) and playing with bandwidth settings) EVO 3D became solid.

Now EVO 4G LTE is having WIFI issues. I had started a thread using 2.4Ghz for WIFI which was a huge help. But it's still not quite right. You can see it frequently flipping between WIFI and 3G. The phone again works fine at work. If I have to I'll buy the same wifi routers I have at work.

So I started digging into Router settings again and noticed this "WIFI Coexistence" option (which was set as disabled).

So I researched it on the dd-wrt.com web site (the open source I run on my router and found some interesting info).

I think this may have something to do with some folks issues.

It may also account for why some people say they have no problem and others do.

Even when you swap your phone your Bluetooth devices might choose a different channel when you pair it and have less conflicts. On old WIndows phones even when you unpaired it, it would cache the old channel and use it again if you repaired it.

I'm going try this option and try running with bluetooth off and see if it's more stable.

I have had bluetooth issues as well. Mainly after a call, the would disconnect from headset and headset could not reconnect without toggling bluetooth on the phone or headset (or both).

This is a copy of what I found on dd-wrt.com

==================================

I found a clear answer on TomatoUSB's website:

Bluetooth Coexistence

An 802.11 device and Bluetooth can interfere with each other when the 802.11 device operates on the 2.4 GHz band. All Bluetooth devices operate at the 2.4 GHz band. If you experience wireless disconnects, decreased range or speed, and other connectivity issues when you turn on some of your Bluetooth devices, try to change this option to "Enable" (this will make the router and Bluetooth device to take turns in using the spectrum for communication) or "Preemption" (the router will inform the Bluetooth device about the channel it is operating on, and the Bluetooth device can preemptively disable communication on the respective Bluetooth channels).

Please note that this option requires your Bluetooth device to "cooperate". If the Bluetooth device doesn't implement the coexistence techniques, using this option will have no effect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
I'm 99.99% sure it's bluetooth causes WIFI issues for me.

If your having WIFI issues (which interferes with 3G as well) and you normally keep bluetooth on.

Try as simple experiment leaving bluetooth off (I know you should not have to).

I left mine off today and data was flawless.

Switching between 3G and WIFI was instant and smooth.

When I wake it I see it jumping around between 3G and WIFI.

This phone uses a Qualcomm bluetooth stack and EVO 3D and EVO 4G used broadcomm.

I never even thought to consider bluetooth.

Bluetooth has been bumpier on this phone as well.

If I leave WIFI off, bluetooth runs perfect.

I need more data though to sort this out.
