[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Where did you buy the phone? If it was bought new from operator or sim-free then you'll be under warranty and if you brick again, there's no way they can check for binary counter or what rom you have installed. You just say it broke after ota update to ics, and it'll be fixed under standard 1 year warranty. Just need proof of purchase. Either send it to your operator, usually next day collection and up to 2 weeks fix, or Samsung will direct you to a local partner who'll fix it, probably under similar time frame.

If it was eBay or second hand then different story. From what I've read of others getting replacements outside warranty its around £150-200 for new motherboard.

That emmc "fix" you've found will repartition the chip so you bypass the damaged section, so you lose storage, often between 3 or 4gb of internal storage.

Hope it helps.

I've got my phone from affordablemobiles.co.uk with T-mobile. Now I don't know if there won't be any problem returning this to T-mobile. Propably I'll have to deal with affordablemobiles because they sold me the contract about 10 months ago. That tutorial I've posted in my last post it seems to be alright. Maybe I'll test it later. First I need to change display in my old HTC HD2 for in case of hardbricked N7000.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
All the best dude. Repartitioning does work, no doubt about it, but for a true fix and if you're able, it would be worth sending it for replacement under warranty to regain maximum internal storage space.

I seen that you have to flash EL26 Kernel before installing... My phone is EL29 so do I still flash the EL29 kernel that comes with MIUI? or which kernel do I flash? and I'm currently using Cyanogenmod ICS, is it safe to flash over that? I'm still new to this flashing process and I don't want to mess anything up! It's a lot more difficult than on HTC phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] androidjtc:
To be safe just flash it. Also yes it is safe just MAKE SURE you wipe your data and wipe your cache. Also make sure you have a backup. Do that and you should be good to go.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
Hey there, was trying out the multitasking on the phone and am experiencing RAM shortage? 2GB would have been great, but as I had the GSII I know that there is a lot more capability with 1GB..

On my GSII I could run more apps in the background than now. With the GSIII I can only have 3 apps working at the same time?! Everything keeps refreshing.. the browser, the launcher etc. Even the music stops sometimes while multitasking...

Anyone facing the same issue?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
No issues here at all..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
I mean you should check the task manager, if you can get more than 4 apps to run?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will T:
Apart from the odd occassional main home screen refresh now and again, nothing out of the ordinary for me.

Stock ROM, but running a themed screen and icons with Go Launcher.

Might be worth looking at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1634624

Some useful hints and tips on closing/removing apps. I personally just disabled them, made the mistake of removing some core ones from my GNex and made a right royal mess.

Good luck, let us know how you get on. :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
Thank you for the useful thread you posted, but I didn't have to remove bloatware on my gsII to multitask? Even though I did remove it after a while ;) it still worked before doing anything. I just can't imagine Samsung will ship a phone, where you have to remove apps to multitask properly?

So you can run more than 4 apps in the task manager?

Sad we in Europe didn't get the choice like in the U.S.between the two versions. As I feel the RAM would have been more future proof..

But putting this aside, I'm really impressed what they have packed into the touchwiz out of the box ! I don't even feel like rooting and flashing, because everything is running just fine.

As I know myself I'll find myself fondling around pretty soon, because Iknow the potential of xda :)

Just am facing this issue, which is really bugging me atm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will T:
I've got about 10 apps so far showing when I press the task manager button, no signs of lag so far for me.

Memory usage for me is 644Mb out of 779Mb.

Can't think of anything preventing you from opening more than 4 apps on the go.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
No that thing you are seeing is the recent apps menu! That is just a chronology of what you opened recently and is no real time multitasking! In that menu you have to press "task-manager". There you'll see the apps which are truly running
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will T:
Yeah, I did say I pressed the Task Manager button, maybe I should'be been more clear on what I pressed and where it took me.

Anyways, I've attached a picture to clarify that I had at least 10 apps running.

You didn't tweak around the Developer options have you by any chance? Near the end of the list there is a section that says Limit background processes, mine has Standard limit, if clicked, options include No background processes, 1,2,3,4 processes at most.

If it's not that, then I'm out of ideas.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elcom:
I don't own the sg3 (plan on buying one soon), but I know that in ICS there is an option in settings under developer options where you can set the number of apps allowed to run in the background.

Worth a shot.

Gold luck.

Thanks for your effort mate!

At least now I know, that something isn't right with my phone... I had checked the developers options before, it was set on standard... I haven't done anything with the phone yet, that's the funny thing :/

I'll check what else I can do when I'M home from work.

I just noticed the issue when I was trying out the chrome and stock browser simultaneously. but the pages were all reloading. Which was not the case on sII.

really weird..

You are still on stock ROM?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
I also face this problem of all webpages reloading all the time after switching apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That happens when your phone runs out of memory, are you sure you're not running too many background apps?

Browsers are huge memory hogs, so it's not really surprising when you run 2 at the same time, but it all depends on the amount of open tabs and the webpages within.

The same "issue" appears on S2 (Stock an CM9) and with somewhat heavier usage on the Note.

This happens to me too and I very much doubt the problem isn't on everyone's phone.

One gig is obviously not enough on this phone.

Just for the record I love the phone but my browser is the only thing running and my home screen has just redrawn
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
Hey guys I'm back ..

Now I can open more apps simultaneously, but around after a minute everything closes down. They don't stay on they just close after a while..

I don't know what the reason is, but could you check and open a few apps? Then just look after a minute or so if they close down .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Bump! same problem here!

I'm also experiencing problems with ram shortage on my otherwise awesome GS3. I usually have about 100mb of free memory sometimes dropping lower which leads to programs in use being shut down. I can't browse in Chrome (with multiple tabs) and listen to spotify at the same time without either Go Launcher having to redraw, losing tabs or spotify shutting down.

I've removed s-voice, voice search and touchwiz launcher. I have 5 homescreens with both multiple widgets, folders and app shortcuts. This was no problem on my GS2 running AOKP revolution rom - I use the same widgets, shortscuts etc more or less and also used Chrome on the GS2.

The reason for not going AOKP on the GS3 is because I like smart stay, the camera app (because of zero shutter lag and burst), the screenshot feature and also face-recognition in gallery - the latter two are the most important for me.

I'm currently on Checkrom with N.E.A.K kernel.

I'm not hung up on figures and don't care how much free ram I have. I'd just like to use my phone without experiencing lag and programs being shut down :)

Rebooting the phone usually solves the problem (or using fast reboot) for a while but I feel this shouldn't be necessary.

Any help appreciated :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:

Nobody knows what the issue is? Must be the ram management, but why was this perfect in the s2?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayah:
Hi, I have been reading the Xperia Arc Android Development fourms for the past few hours trying to decide which Custom Rom / Firmware to go with. I'm simply looking for a method to update my Arc towards a light/speedy phone with ICS.

I have had a few names shout out at me but currently its

Acronium 4.0 -> Trinity Kernal v1.6 or a recommended one he suggests.

I've seen that Trinity is created by the same author as MooDeD ICS.

Pretty much what I'm trying to say is its pretty hard to differentiate which custom rom would be better than the other ...

If I could be directed in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.

:D

-Sincerely

Steven
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madasalizard:
Hey, the combination you already wrote is the fasted ICS combination at the moment. Flash Arconium 4.0, Trinity Kernel v1.6 and the new Xperia S apps. You wont really find a faster combination than this right now.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bern4d1:
As I know, Trinity kernel has incompatibility to some apps. I use ArcKnight 3.3 which is very good in battery life.

for the ROM, arconium 4 still the best for now.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azuremaroon:
Regreted changing to ICS

I regreted changing to ICS:(

Almost all custom ICS ROMs out there don't perform as promised and they are somewhat laggy

I've double-wiped before installing the ROMs so I believe it's not my problem

And GB can give me the smoothness and responsiveness that no other ICS ROMs can
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anteloop:
Well try only 4.0.4 based ROM, for speed and responsiveness, I can recommend CM9, AOKP, and JJ Hybrid. Many others claimed Acronium is the fastest, but I've not try it.

My 2 cents
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
Arconium icS v4.

fAST LIKE hELL. :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kajendran:
If u really care about your battery life, U should choose arconium...

Arconium with stock kernal has the best battery life....

I mean the best batery life...!!!!!!!

its pretty smooth aswell...

I'm working on changing to a Droid4 to get LTE.

My plan tonight is to call Verizon to have them unlock the Droid2's SIM slot so that when i travel, I can use the phone with prepaid SIM overseas.

But I also wanted to root the Droid2 so I can use Titanium Backup and move apps and their data to the new phone.

If I root after getting my SIM unlocked, will it break the unlock? I'm not sure if it's a software unlock or whatnot...
[Droid 2 Global General] androidjtc:
I am 99% sure that just by rooting your phone will not mess with your card. All rooting dose is give you access to all the files of your system so I think your safe :)
[Droid 2 Global General] jabberwockish:
SIM-unlocking a phone has nothing to do with setting or disabling a SIM PIN—it's something you do to the phone, not the card. So it isn't unreasonable to wonder whether rooting will interfere with SIM lock/unlock state.

That said, SIM lock/unlock state is completely separate from the phone's operating system (except that you must be running a stock Motorola firmware to SIM-unlock the phone). Once it's unlocked, it stays unlocked; rooting, unrooting, flashing different ROMs, etc. will not re-enable the SIM lock.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gig103:
Thank you! Now the question becomes, if I unlock the SIM with the existing stock ROM (629), then go through the rooting process, do I lose the change? Should I root, then call VZW?

Reading, can you do it?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TeamERA:
No I think the tags I posted have an on/off switch built in, making them cost more?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Disconn3ct:
Doubt its a switch, more likely squeezing it brings one (or both) of the induction coil wires in contact with the chip. seems like it'll fail after a while, and if you use one of the security tags (eg the keychain one) you get a TON more space to work with (8k) and standard, peer-reviewed security. For just over half the price.

(The fobs can't be read unless they have been paired with the reader, so its -more- secure than a button.. I can leave the fob laying around and know the data is secure.)

Edit: Technically it is a switch, but my point is you probably can't just turn it 'on' and wander off.. I'd be curious if anyone could find the patent application.
