[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pirate.bill:
I was lucky enough to get one of the earlier batches (pre import ban) of the AT&T HTC One XLs and I have enjoyed having it over the past 5-6 weeks. A few weeks back I decided to root my phone and unlock it as I wasn't having any luck upgrading via the OTA update. I believe that soon afterwards I started having a problem installing some larger files and updates, getting a "Package file is invalid" message via Google Play.

At first this only seemed to happen occasionally but a few days back, it started occurring with practically any update or install. I tried cleaning the dalvik and other caches, factory reset, and wiped the SD card without any improvement. Yesterday I decided to make the leap and install CleanROM, both out of curiosity and a hope to resolve my problem. I wiped the system via the recovery bootloader, wiped the cache, wiped the dalvik cache, and wiped the SD card and installed CleanROM. While the install went well and CleanROM is running perfectly, I still get the package invalid method with any install larger than 1mb or so. I am frustrated about this problem as I have enjoyed this phone up to this point. If anyone have any suggestions to resolve this repeated error I would be very grateful. Thanks.

I think you followed almost all the step. But i think there is a issue on your network connection. Try to download new apps over the WiFi. I think you can't use any other mobile network ( i think you have network locked phone).

also check theses things. http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2011/12/fix-android-package-file-is-invalid.html
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pirate.bill:
Follow-up on suggestion

Thanks for the suggestion but it turns out exactly the opposite is true. I have been trying to install programs over wifi and they keep failing with the invalid package file message. After reading your suggestion, I turned off the wifi and tried installing several larger programs via the mobile network - they all downloaded and installed without a hitch! Crazy.

So, it looks like my problem might have something more to do with either my wifi network/router or with some aspect of the wifi hardware or software on my phone. Tomorrow I am going to try accessing and installing files from a different network and will post my results then.

Does anyone have the kernal zip file or know where to download the Galaxy s3 model # SPH-L710?

I pushed the UK kernal into my phone mistakenly and now I need the original stock kernal to fix my phone.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbanker:
I have been struggling with trying to figure out if the battery life I am seeing is what my Atrix is really capable of. I am occasionally a heavy user, but on weekends I am a very light user. I'll start at 8am with 100% and be almost dead at 6-8pm. I have searched around and seen other Atrix users with 24 hours of battery life and even if I tried my hardest to not use my phone I wouldn't get those kind of numbers. I feel fairly confident in saying i scoured search results and tried everything i could find to extend battery life.

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there something I can do to help?

I know it's been asked before, but I am hoping to get some current answers for this question: what kind of battery life numbers are you getting on your Atrix? Which rom are you using?

Atrix 4G running CM7 RC3. If the answer is "keep it charged as often as possible", it is what it is. It would be great to find an answer to why battery life is so much shorter than others though! Many thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbanker:
Just noticed CM7.2 stable was released, upgrading to that now to see if battery life improves. Might try a full wipe to see if battery life is better without email, syncs, etc. etc. if the upgrade doesn't help.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
i would recommend getting cpu spy and also download and install as a zip 'blue sleep fix' (blue sleep zip can be found in the CM7 thread). This has greatly improved my battery life.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Which kernel? Flash Faux 1.0GHz and undervolt across the board by -50mv. Instant battery life!

Also, use ROM Manager or equivalent to stop all non essential apps from starting on boot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbanker:
There are 2 cpu spy apps on the market, can you let me know which one to use? Bluesleep fix found and downloading now.

Flashed Faux 1.0 no problem. I do not know how to undervolt so I will search around and see if i can find something on it. Ill try stopping some startup apps too. Thanks for the suggestions all! Keep them coming!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
the one by 'STORM717' :good:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbanker:
Hopefully did the under volt right! Should I set it to take effect at boot?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soldier-2Point0:
Test your settings for a few days. If the phone stays stable THEN you set at boot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbanker:
Big thanks to everyone! Battery life has improved a ton (see picts)! It was hard finding the blue sleep fix, here it is for others to easily find: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25437046&postcount=436
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soldier-2Point0:
Err, that is not good battery life at all bro. I can tell you barely used the phone. Atrix should be able to provide up to 2 days standby time...

I wouldn't undervolt either, I read on these forums that the battery gained from undervolting barely makes a difference

You should turn wifi off when not in use, that will save battery life.

Badass battery will let you know how you spend your battery by % and let you know which app takes the most battery. (Lets you get a really readable easily understandable battery read out.)

I can help you get even better battery if you use this app and give me some numbers (it has a share via gmail/etc)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rancur3p1c:
turning off wifi is not going to help him that much. I leave my wifi on all the time no problems, make 2 days light usage no problem.

More likely he's got some apps running around in the background. I suggest he pick through what he's got installed and start turning off the things that like to sync all the time in the background.

I think step number 1 would be to install a non-stock ROM and startover fresh.

Blur-based ROMs (Nottachtrix was really good) then the faux123 kernel then slowly start installing the apps he likes to use and monitor battery life. It might take a month but he's definitely got an offender here or there causing these problems.

also install Juice Defender. My mom's Galaxy S2 was having tons of problems with battery life even though she wasn't using it at all, 60% battery life at 3pm without using it at all, installed that and immediately helped her a lot, like 80% by 3pm WITH use.

Also, clear your dalvik cache. After installing lots of stuff and not using it, it just fills up with sometimes poorly written code. Clearing it always makes phone faster in my experience.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbanker:
I will give that a shot, thanks!

Strangely, I keep setting wifi to turn off when the screen is off...but it keeps resetting itself. I wonder if I found a bug?

I think this is what I will do today! I'll do a nandroid backup, and try Nottachtrix with no extra stuff installed or setup. I will report back! I appreciate all the help to get my phone performing where it should be.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbanker:
Just wanted to report in. I tried a clean ROM as stated in my previous post with no luck. I just couldn't get past the battery life I was getting with cyanogenmod WITH all of the apps and syncs enabled. Should I try another ROM maybe?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyJunket:
Maybe your battery is just a bit old? After ~2 years, you can expect that battery life drops dramatically. if you are a heavy user this might happen earlier. Maybe check with the battery of a friend of yours whether it's a software or a hardware issue

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbanker:
You could be right, the battery might be dying.

I was on vacation the past few days so I got the opportunity to not use my phone most of the day (job requires me to use the phone a lot). The battery lasted about 12 hours and looked like it had about 4 hours left. So maybe I am expecting too much, but I'm not trolling...no.

If you aren't going to be helpful, go somewhere else. You could have said "Your phone screen was on for probably longer periods than the average user and that's why you can't hit longer hours". Based on your previous comments, I shouldn't expect much from you though.

Many thanks to all who are helping me. You're all awesome.

11-12 hours.

I also have 11-12 hours with 1 charge. And it is not enough for me. I use only Whatsapp ( a lot usage ), a little bit browsing, 20-30 minutes phone calls. These are all. And 11-12 hours is sooo bad for them i guess.

I have an "suspend linux process" drainage issue. Maybe because of it, I'm getting this result.

How can I extend my battery life. PLEASE Help!

I'm using CM9. With my correction to wifi-sleep, I reach 16h with 35% of battery remaining with wifi on, gps on(no latitude tested yet), network set to 2G/3G, two gmail accounts and 1 imap(push) synchronizing, some minutes playing fish live 3 times a day, and turning the screen on and off several times a day to unlock my desktop with google authenticator.

Looking for a Camera App that has a silent, or at least *quiet* timer. Shudder sound is fine. Camera ZOOM is loud and obnoxious. Pudding Camera doesn't do highest resolution. Some other simple app was even louder and more obnoxious then Camera ZOOM.

Take alot of pictures at the office and timer helps, but can't find a good one.

I really want to exchange this phone for a white one when they are available - I paid almost $700 and do not want to pay the $75 restocking fee to exchange it.

Never had a white phone before but that ugly, one eyed one horned flying purple people eater button made my decision to finally try a white phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] CitrixLemon:
That's exactly what I thought. I went into the store telling myself I wouldn't buy it if they didn't have the white one because I'd seen the promo pictures and didn't like it as much. Then I saw a guy with a blue one outside the store and it totally changed my mind. It's much more reserved than what I expect the white one to look like. The blue isn't overwhelming and blends nicely with the lighter blue on the edges.

The white on plastic phones has a tendency to turn blue if you wear jeans. Just a warning.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
I couldn't agree more! Wow! I had the gs2 in black & then bought a white when it came out. The white one was Nice.. But, I got so sick of looking at it for some reason? Then when I saw the metallic blue as they've called it, I absolutely loved it! It's definitely a gunmetal gray color, and it's pretty much the same color as my prime is. What I like most is that there's really nothing else that looks like it. I've already had a few people ask me about it, wanting to see it, and I do love a chance to show off a new phone that most people who aren't tech junkies haven't seen yet. For those that haven't bought yet, you should definitely go to a retail store and see them in person.

Went to check out the Pebble Blue one since the white one is pretty scarce. It's definitely nicer in person and is growing on me. I really want a black version but this isn't a bad alternative. Only thing I don't like is the shade of the home button.

Pebble Blue is a keeper.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nick2k:
i think i was already knocking the Pebble Blue earlier in this thread (and other threads as well), but it really does look great in person. my wife was seriously worried about the button being "purple", but when we picked up her phone from Costco over the weekend it turned out that the button isn't really ''purple'' as obviously shown in numerous blog/review photographs. though there

is

an ever so slightly hint of purple. but that's about it.

i took a photo of her phone (with the home button obviously in the shot) with different cameras. and they ALL made the button PURPLE. i think it has something to do with "photography science" crap i guess.

but IT IS a bummer that Samsung didn't go out of their way to make the button EXACTLY like the phone's "blue" housing. oh well. they had to screw up somewhere i guess. and that kids, is the reason i'm getting the Marble White version in 12 hours. /pizzatimecowabunga

I do like the brushed blue. Just hate the purple home button. Looks off.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jbm0329:
Hey guys, I like the white one, but I am a banker and I don't see too many professional men with white phones at work. All are dark. Regardless, I am leaning towards the blue one since I found a couple of different backs to help with fingerprints (though I'm not too concerned since I keep mine in a case). Check out this list from ebay for people that want to be different and either have clear cases or no case. It removes the carrier emblem and adds a touch of class/premium. The best thing Samsung ever did was make all phones the same. I am with T-Mobile (USA) and they don't seem to get as many case/cover choices as other carriers. If all are the same, that means you have a much larger assortment of covers and cases to choose from.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] :
Why not just get the white one if that's the one you like? Who cares if other people have dark phones? I mean seriously.

You know what somebody told me one time? You shouldn't spend to much time worrying what people think about you. Cause the only thing they're thinking about is what you're thinking about them. True story.

Get the color you like. The white is awesome and the effect the white body makes in a total dark room when its led is on is awesome.

Yea, Ive bought a few phones in white when given the option, but I bought blue because its all they had at the Tmo store near me, and I was getting it the day before launch, so who the hell was I to be picky! But, Ive fallen in love with this blue. Its different, and kinda fresh IMO.

Hi...I'm new to this forum...so before asking my question...

Recently just S-Off my HTC Wildfire S A510e "Marvel"...just install CWM ad after Flashing CWM, turn off phone to go into recovery to do install CWM....just when I enter Bootloader...go down to go onto Recovery when I press the power button to select it...the phone goes to the White HTC Screen....and my screen goes black after that....and the 4 navigation keys are light up...

For those who tired of "Can't open a new window until you close one.", this mod will give you the ability to open unlimited (actually it's 99) windows.

Not only that, I've reduced the zoom out tab animation duration, making it to be faster.

There is also an user agent switching option in the advanced settings, giving you 6 options of user agents.

Requirement:

Any ROMs that are based on Samsung ICS ROM

How to install:

1. Reboot to CWM

2. Flash

Known issue:

There won't be 99 tab indicators when you have 99 tabs because it does not fit the screen.

As shown in the pics above, in portrait mode, max tab indicators are 11. While in landscape mode, max tab indicators are 18.
