Anyway, before I wipe anything on that phone should I abandon this and use a different root method?

It is pretty hot and humid outside and I don't want to spend the next few days outside because I mess up her phone.

I didn't come here for support for anyone's "bull****", I just hijacked (my apology) this thread to ask why you guys think it's bull****. As I said - not trying to attack anyone or anything or any method, I asked a genuine question. One would think you could spell out a genuine reason why it's crap. Too bad your tone rules this great forum. Just a simple question...geez. Thanks anyway.

If your just going to flash cm9 then I wouldn't worry about using another method as your gonna override the kernel anyways. So just go ahead and wipe and flash and enjoy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Zedomax's first priority is building web sites that will make him money. He is only secondarily a developer of firmware, and evidently fairly talented. However, his mode of operation is to build a website with rooting tools for a phone, promote it for a few days, and then you hardly ever see or hear from him again. He's already moved on to another phone and another web site. So his tools get old and become unsupported. Some of the firmware he provides works as advertised, and some of it causes serious problems. Once he develops something, it seems he doesn't even care to determine if it is bug free. In particular for this phone, his rooting method seems to work, at least most of the time. However, his unrooting method causes untold problems, and even soft bricks. And people come here to ask how to fix the problems. Some have had fairly serious problems that are rather difficult to correct from using his tools. We've seen so many problems associated with his stuff that when we see the name zedomax, we immediately think, "ok I know what your problem is."

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
It's been well documented on these forums that the phone won't fully charge to 100%, mine actually charges to 100% but when unplug the charger it goes to 98%,,tried to calibrate the battery but no joy, am i to assume it's only Samsung who can provide some update to fix this or is there an alternative method does anyone know?

Bit disappointing as i cant say i ever had this problem with the SGSII although not taking anything else away from this superb phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
These phones don't charge to 100% anyway to preserve the longevity of these li-ion batteries.

They charge to 96% or thereabouts.

The 100% in the status bar is purely for show.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
My phone says it is fully charged to 100% when i have charged in, when i unplug it it did go to 99% now it goes to 98%, how come the SGSII charged to 100%
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
This has been answered ad nauseam. There is nothing wrong with your battery. That's the way they work, that's the way Samsung reports it. All is ok :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
so the batteries on the Galaxy S3 are completely different to the SGSII batteries then?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
It didn't charge to 100%, it showed 100% but all android phones only charge to 96%.

Its a built in hardware feature.

Don't worry about it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BJ van Beethoven:
I've noticed the same thing. When I first got the phone it would charge to "100%" then drop instantly to 99% when unplugged, I figured it was a way to increase the longevity of the battery and reduce the risk of overcharging.

But now I'm not so sure on that, it charges to 100% but drops to 98% straight away, not 99%.

For those saying it's a "feature", I find that hard to swallow given that the % is decreasing. I think it's more likely there's a bug in the firmware with the battery meter. Hopefully Samsung sort it out soon.

This is quite simply not true.

Both of my previous generation S phones charged to 100%, same for a friends HTC and a workmates LG.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
It is a feature and has been for ages.

My nexus s worked that way since I got it soon after it was released.

Unless you are experiencing abnormal battery life/drain I wouldn't be too worried about setting up a search party to find your lost 2%.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
What?

Its quite simple.

Fully charged phone shows 100% but in actuality its only charged to 96%.

This was the same on gs2, gs1, nexus s, (insert android phone here)...

It makes batteries last longer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
This is not true, my SGSII charged to 100% and stayed at 100% and didn't just drop to 99% or 98% so there has to be an issue here, not a feature at all certainly as far as Samsung are concerned.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
The UI showed it as 100%, but it wasn't ACTUALLY 100%.

Maybe on the gs3 it compensates for the 4% difference faster, who knows.

Its not a problem and nobody is stealing your power so don't worry about it.

If you are getting bad battery life/excessive drain then you have a problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
why did the SGSII charge to 100% and stayed that way for over an hour sometimes longer on standby before it dropped to 99%, how can the Galaxy S3 not do that, it has to be a bug no doubts about it, unless you can show me substantial proof from Samsung themselves i refuse to believe it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
My battery life is fine i froze all the bloatware, that is not the issue i just want to know why this is happening it shouldn't happen on a premium high end smartphone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Well if your battery life is fine then forget about it. Would you rather the phone showed 100% even though it wasn't at 100%?

It probably just compensates the difference between 100% and actual charge faster to show true battery life faster.

Even if it is a bug your battery still has the same amount of charge in it so what's the big deal.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
As i said that is not the issue, if it really is 100% then it should actually say 100% and not any less, it's like if you walked into a bar and the barman poured you a pint with a massive head on it but when that head went down after a few minutes it showed as a bit less than an actual pint, same difference mate, if your paying big bucks for a high end smartphone you expect these type of things to show correctly, im not gonna lose sleep over it but undoubtedly it is a bug that they should really fix.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
The phone does charge to 100% but will then start to discharge back to 95% before charging again, being static at one level for too long reduced the overall life of the battery.what I have been doing is unplugging my phone first thing in the morning and recharging it again for a few mins
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
I was under the impression that these batteries never charge to full capacity as it reduced the lifespan of the batteries.

Not sure where I read it but I'm sure that's what it said. I'm not doubting you but I'm just confused. When it charges to 100 back to 95 is that true 100% battery capacity?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Samsung do need to provide a firmware fix for this, it's not what one would deem to be a massive bug but is one nonetheless and if it worked ok in the SGSII it should work the same in the Galaxy S3.

I assume Samsung will provide a fix for this at some stage, but to be honest given their track record id expect someone on XDA to come up with a solution sooner:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Mine charges to 100%. Once it reaches full charge, unplug the charger and the plug it in for another 10 minutes. This will ready 100% after unplugging. My GS2 was the same way.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddurandSGS3:
ive also read that the phones dont charge to 100%.

a simple google search will bring up this same dilemna from years ago.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
Just turn of to show % in statusbar. Problem solved
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
My SGSII wasn't,when i charged it to 100% and unplugged it, it actually stayed at 100% on standby for an hour or more.

I will however try what you said but i doubt it'll make any difference, charging the phone now and it's on 77% so when it gets to "100%" ill unplug it then charge it for another 10 minutes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
tongue in cheek comment?:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafiatounes:
I find the 100% to 99% when of charge good and accurate, many people say my S2 or whatever phone they have stays hour(s) on 100% when of charge but that is an innacurate measurement of charge means power will be used from the battery wich results in a 99%. Simple as that!

Written on my Galaxy S3 sent using Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
But that is the way it should be,charge the phone to 100% and it then gradually drops that is how you measure battery life as well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searley:
When you unplug it, its using power, you cant have any power drain, and have 100%.

100% = unused, it is being used therefore not 100%

As already said, it would be a bug if it showed 100% for too long.. But maybe samsung will tweak it so it shows 100% percent longer.. But it wont be a bug fix.. Just a UI tweak to stop idiots complaining about lost power and all it will mean is the time between 99 and 98 will be less

Probably why by default they dont show the percentage on the task bar
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeonxt:
don't unplug from charger. end of story.

as many people have said, it has been like that for ages.

there were phones that displays 100% but in reality doesn't because they are in reality only charged to 96% to prolong battery life.

and you are not alone in 100% then unplug suddenly goes to 99% because i am experiencing that too but it doesn't bother me because i've been reaching the tested by reviews battery life and same range of number of hours from many users here of their battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js8:
See if you can dig up one of the guys who did the battery % mods. They might know more.

What I was told is that the battery % display is similar to the wifi/3G signal strength display -- do you remember when Apple responded to people complaining about low signal? They then remapped the signal strength display so that what was previously showing as 2 bars now showed as 4 bars, 1 bar was now 3 bars, etc.

For the battery display, what I understood from a friend at Samsung Singapore is that they had +mapped the battery percentages so that 95% displayed as 99%, 96% displayed as 100% (as did 97%, 98%, etc.). This gave people the perception that the battery lasted longer. I cannot swear this is true, but it certainly made sense when looking at the difference in drain rate from the first hour to succeeding hours.

It may be that they have backed off on this +mapping approach in the latest ROMs? In any case, I am getting similar battery life on my S3 using Omega as I was getting on CM9 on my S2. Not bad, all told.

Perhaps some of the kernel devs who have dug deeply into battery management will have a better view?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Random:
This discussion is pointless...

The S2 does NOT have battery % feature in stock ROM (or am i too dumb to find the option?) so you either used a custom ROM or a battery % app. accuracy of both is questionable...

And whats the difference between 99% and 100% anyway? A couple of minutes usage at best...

And, as was mentioned above, no phone charges to 100% and stays there until u unplug it...

What would be the "fix" to this "problem"? Samsung changes the display to show 100% instead of 99%...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sniper_5:
As soon as I Unplug my Droid X it drops from 100% to 99%. I see no issue with this?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Thanks mate some useful and constructive comments unlike some.

I just found it a bit strange that the phone just dropped to 99%, battery life itself is not the issue at all on the contrary battery life is excellent you just cant really measure it properly when it goes to 99% when charger is unplugged.

Anyway discussion over as far as im concerned.

This is the same feature as the ipad 3, as it reaches 100% it discharges, and then charges again, so as to prevent over-charging

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i9100g user:
charging 100% could be harmful for battery 96% is best by most 98%
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Two points. One: Charging a battery to maximum allowed capacity and charging a battery to 100% are two totally different things. Two: the second you disconnect your charger from the handset, the battery begins to drain. So there is no reason why your phone "should" display 100% for any length of time after disconnecting the charger. That's all. Thank you.

Hello,

I have succesfully rooted my phone and installed Android Revolution HD 6.x

After I saw that 7.0 was released I installed total wipe (the zip file) and the new rom zip file to my sd card.

I installed the total wipe and then the rom and now it loops.

I have tried everything the forum has told me, but no result.

Flashing won't help. It does not regonize the phone. I tried everything on the forum.

Is there anyone out there that can help me with this problem. I am not a total nubb so don't be gentle with the words/ solutions..........

loops at what level when starting at splashscreen or later when running bootanimation (just before to enter Android interface)

loops usually happen just because this is not a clean flashing

unfortunately you have work to do: try to describe in details how you made that upgrade

have you used CWM-clockworkmod recovery ?

what do you mean by " not recognize the phone" ? have you tried to reinstall ADB drivers ?

I'm using cm9 alpha 4 on my epic 4g touch. I also use gosms for texting. The text i get is sent to gosms and messaging, so it doesn't seem to be a weird glitch with gosms.

Need to tap into the greater XDA/phone tech junkies hive mind.

My situation:

I currently have a broken SGS2 on AT&T. It works just can't charge the battery while in the phone.

I don't have an upgrade on any of my 8 lines on our account (closest is August).

I am thinking and damn close to getting the HTC one XL but it would costs 450 (200 for phone and 250) for early upgrade fees.

Now to add to it I jut had surgery and going to be stuck on the couch for the next 2 weeks.

What I am asking is you guys with the phone is if you had to pay 450 would you still do it after spending time with the phone.

Most of my use is games browsing and videos.
