Since you mention it, i normally recommend dousing your device with 95+% isopropyl alcohol if it gets wet (remove battery obviously) then leave in rice (or some other absorbent material, silica gel, kitty litter is a new one I've not heard before)

Biggermem is available, and is now at 400mb. You don't need the patch as it is now included in the kernel zip
[Nexus S Android Development] jojoost:
Asking it again
[Nexus S Android Development] :
I'm not sure whether there is any truth in this idea that higher kernel versions have worse battery drain. It's not something I've personally experienced. The latest version is at 3.0.41 but has PM_FAST which potentially solves the Android OS issue that some users have been experiencing.

Settings?

Nexus S. (GSM i9020a)

Paranoid (1.991 - 4.1.1)

[Nexus S Android Development] tchaari:
Do you mean tha PM_FAST has an impact on Android OS battery drain? If so, can it be tested or benchmarked?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
It might cause the OS to spent a lot of time waiting around for packets. This shouldn't be included in the statistic, but it wouldn't be the first time Google made a mistake calculating battery statistics :p

Wakelock with 4.4. I had to reenter my pin but I think the device didn't reboot (had it in my pocket). Is this a wakelock?

Last kmsg:

4.2 was the last stable for me

Edit: maybe smartass is the problem - with 4.3 and above I used the smartass governor. I will do some testing
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I think you are confused on what exactly wakelock means. A wakelock is something meant to keep either your CPU awake, screen on without dimming, screen on and so forth. Hence the name, wakelock. It keeps, on purpose, your device or parts of it in awake state.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torsrex:
I've tested it. Originally it ran at 256 fps, so I had to turn on vsync to cap it at 60 fps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodie:
Runs super smooth here :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_day:
I've been having a tinker with FPse myself.

Running version 0.11.24.

Using Final Fantasy 9 as a test ISO, it runs amazingly well in "software" mode, if you turn off frame limiting the area's I checked were running at 250+fps.

I didn't notice any bugs either. but graphically, the game looks horrible, pixelated and blurry.

Now, there's an openGL plugin for FPse, which makes it look fantastic, much better then software mode. but it's choppy and buggy. Not unplayable mind you, (40 - 100 fps) but it can dip to 20 at some scenes.

Now the worst part is, currently the OpenGL plugin does not support the MALI400 GPU in the S3. If you try to directly run an ISO using the pluggin, it will not load on the S3, just shows a black screen.

there is a "trick" to load a game using the plugin though, but I wont bother getting into detail.

The dev is reportedly soon going to release fpse 0.11.27, which will allow the openGL plugin to run on a MALI400 GPU.

Check out the thread on fpsece.net.

also @NZtechfreak.

thats an N64 emu, not FPse.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Try actually watching the video before commenting, I show FPse also. Sorry, but I think I know what I'm talking about here.

In the video I run Tekken 3 just with the software GPU plugin and it runs fine, will try it out with my other games and see, but certainly Tekken 3 has no issue so it isn't universal that it doesn't work (its running 32-bit rendering with anti-aliasing on in the video at 60fps). Apparently the 0.11.27 version coming out any day will have a major revision to make things work better with the Mali too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadeye*:
Thank you for all your replies more confident about buying S3 just reading the post about signal issues...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borh77:
I tried it and it runs well in software mode.

I have managed to play with the Open GL plugin (Einhander and Grandia), the graphics are very very good and the frame rate is ok.

But as dark_day says, you have to do a very anoying trick (with Tekhen3) to play.

Also I didn't manage to play with the iControlPad and the OpenGL plugin whereas it works well in software mode.

My only problem in software mode, if someone has an answer : I didn't manage to play in 4:3. Even when I select original screen size it's still in 16:9.

Hello everyone,

I m a newbie in here and want to know how can I play PSP games on my smartphone. As they say that SONY XPERIA S is PlayStation certified, it must be able to play PlayStation games.

What titles can u play in this smartphone and what us the exact method to play them. Need full details please. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
There aren't many titles and you can only play those if you're in a supported region. FPSE or pcsx works great though.

Hi! Sorry for the noob question but I'm here to learn.

I recently rooted and flashed my HTC Sensation with this rom using clockwork:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494373

Now I'm wondering if I can just update it when new releases are available or do I have to wipe it all and do a clean install? Don't want to loose settings and everything.
[General Questions and Answers] depzaj:
clean install

i think you should clean install
[General Questions and Answers] paranoid2jm:
re:Update or clean install?

its always recommended that u do a full wipe prior to any upgrade unless the developer states its ok to update without full wipe
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Usually when new releases of roms are available and you're running a previous version of that rom, you are able to update. Clean installs are recommended though, but since you don't want to lose data, you could follow these steps:

- Make a nandroid backup

- format all partitions

- flash the rom

- advance restore the data (from your previous nandroid)

- clear dalvik cache and reboot

N.B. Only do this if the rom was an update to your previous rom.
[General Questions and Answers] cripubu:
It´s better to do a clean install.
[General Questions and Answers] pkelly517:
If you have the latest paid version of Titanium Backup, you can pull all of your apps and data from the nandroid.
[General Questions and Answers] Marfere:
OK I will follow these easy steps! Thank you everyone :)

Only have free version but might be worth the money I guess.
[General Questions and Answers] TechuntrTM:
Option

If it is updating from same rom to newer version, just wipe catch, dalvik, and battery stats and you'll be fine. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Battery stats doesn't need to be wiped (even if it is a different rom). A user should only wipe it if they are having issues with the battery. Also, the system may need to be wiped for a "cleaner" replacement of updated files.

The answers to your questions are in the threads you linked to, I.E follow whatever specific instructions the rom/kernel you want to flash has.

Siyah has it's own version of CWM & this will overwrite the current version you're using (that's if you're using a kernel that has CWM before you flash Siyah, obviously).

Hi guys,

I'm really sorry if a question like this has been answered, but I'll try my best to keep it brief.

So, I got a new blue 16GB SGS3 from Vodafone Australia today, and the stock firmware was a Vodafone branded one.

-----

At the moment, that particular official firmware is not available for download, so I wanted to know how I can make a backup of it so it's like the type you can flash via ODIN.

In other words, I want to save it as a tar.md5 file so I can flash it back to stock in case I have to claim warranty etc. in the future.

Can someone give me a short description as to how this is done, or if possible, just link me to a full How-To thread? :)

Thanks for your time!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Answer is not before root .

But you can use CHECKFUS to download the original firmware or its update if its on the Samsung Server .

That can be flashed via Odin .

Or you can look for that firmware in the stock rom thread or on sammobile.com .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelvinyap9:
Thanks for the reply.

As far as I know, my current Vodafone branded firmware is not available at sammobile.com or the Official Firmware thread yet, hence the initial idea of backing up my own one.

Other than doing it AFTER root with something like CWM, is there a way to backup the current kernel?

Thanks :)

Hi,

sometimes my P6800 completely freezes. I can turn screen on or of with power button, but that's all I can do. I can only see lock screen with no activity. Clock stops at the time when tablet has frozen. Incoming phone calls aren't ringing and SMS messages are not coming. (but they are not completely lost, after restart by holding power button for approx. 6 seconds, SMS messages are finally received).

This freezing happens about 1 to 3 times a week.

I had similar problem with my old (t)rusty Hero. Over time the metal mesh filled with everything and hardened pretty well. I had to disassemble it and soak in alcohol for a while.

Do the next only and ONLY if you have a steady hand and good eye! Don't rush!

What you should do:

1. Go to the nearest pharmacy and buy a small syringe with blunt needle 1-1.5mm or larger. Don't use the sharp one, it will damage your phone. If you have to use the sharp one, take some honing stone (from kitchen) and grind it down to nice flat end and finish it that it has no sharp edges. If you cant do that find some knife sharpener and ask him to do it for you. Buy him a beer.

2. When you succeeded with needle, go to nearest shop with paints etc. and ask for burner fuel used for camping burners and for cleaning. It's the cleanest alcohol you can get (Do not drink this stuff). Don't use one from pharmacy because its more expensive and always has some additives inside. You can see if its pure by dropping some on clean glass. After evaporation it should leave nothing on the surface. The pharmacy grade will leave whitish residue behind - it's some kind of hydratation creme.. Do not use acetone!!! It will ruin your phone for sure!

3. Fill the syringe 1/3rd or less and gently put some alcohol on the speaker's mesh. Be careful, its very fragile. Don't put to much of it, you can ruin your speaker or even the display that way.

You should not use more than half drop per application. Wet the mesh and wait a little bit. Then wet it again and suck back. Use wooden stick (not sharp) to work on the mesh, don't rub, be very, very gently.

4. Flush the syringe and fill it again with fresh alcohol. Repeat step #3 until you are satisfied with results.

5. Get rid of mayonaise, ketchup etc., at least when your phone is nearby.

Do this only, and only if you are 100% sure you can do it correctly and have the proper stuff. Don't improvise or rush. Take the time to make it properly, or take it to repair in some gsm service/Sony service - that would bee cheaper than a new phone :cool:
