I always get rid of all excess processes (coming from a G2X I had to if I wanted my battery to last me through the day).

I use titanium backup (donated version is better because it can freeze apps) but there is a working list of what you can get rid of.

I would post it but since I am new to the forums I cannot post links. If you want I can PM it to you.

Media server is videos like you tube or steaming music
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] K-SHOX:
I'm having the same issue with media server.

I've had 3 Android phones before and this didn't happen on them.

I was at 100% 3 and a half hours ago.

I played games for about 5 mins, sent about 5 texts and listened to tune in radio for about 20 mins.

I'm currently at 65%

TuneIn used 14% of my battery and media server used 30%, screen etc are the same as they normally are. Should media server be this high given that TuneIn is already consuming a lot.

Media server also has 2h and 6 mins on it. The only thing I can think is that when I stopped TuneIn radio, the media server kept running :s

Any tips??

I haven't even touched the media player, radio, music video or anything since I last posted and it's up to 2h 11m now :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] crystalclear30:
I'm having the same problem with the "mediaserver" service running and taking up battery.

I've traced it down to "TuneIn Radio" is causing the "mediaserver" to run. It never did this until recent updates. MediaServer is a battery hog and I don't understand why it has to run with TuneIn Radio.

How do we kill this process?

I’m face issue in Google maps when I connect my device (SAMSUNG Galaxy Y) to WiFi .

Google map find my location using IP address point to place away from

my real location by miles (about 5 miles !) .

this is big issue in Google maps when I have internet connection

It should use Embedded GPS Instead of IP .

I want to know how to make Google Mapes find my location using GPS Not the IP address

If there is better GPS that only use Embedded GPS Please Advice me to use it

Thanks for all

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tommert38:
You should have both WiFi connected and GPS locked in Maps. If you do that many times, the WiFi/MAC/IP database @ Google will eventually be updated with the GPS coordinates, which will result in an accurate WiFi/MAC/IP based location.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] salemF:
Thanks tommert38 For Fast Replay

My issue are in ISP Which Give Fake Location To All IP's

Any Way the only Solution for me is turning Internet connection off

and use Google Maps Offline

Everything is great. Level 42 is particularly amazing... you need to look out for the invisible unicorns as they can attack you from behind. I would suggest powering up on Scooby Snacks at the end of level 14, otherwise you will lose a life on level 17.

The Gatekeeper will diddle you if you get too close to him, but just don't show him your 'peepee'. If you need help, press F1 but it only works the first time. Your mind will force close of you try to do it twice.

As you asked, it is definitely worth flashing on this phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docgab:
Hello all, I recently flashed the patched services.jar and androcharger in an effort to speed up my laggy CM9. I rebooted and I got stuck at the boot screen. Here is where my problem begins. I recently updated the radio as well and like a dummy I didn't move the PC10IMG file so when I try to reboot into recovery, it constantly wants to upgrade the radio.

What are my options here? I am at work, and my card reader is at home, so I can't pull the card and delete the file. I can wait until I get home, but if there is another option, I would love to hear it!

Thanks all!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aloupha:
Hello,

I ran into some issues after installing the Classic Jewel V0.0.4 Rom that ultimately led to my internal SD card not being recognized or not mounted properly. For the record, I am

not

blaming the ROM nor am I suggesting that there is anything wrong with the ROM.

Below is the sequence of events:

1. Full wipe of everything except SD card.

2. Flashed the ROM.

3. The Phone booted all the way to the setup wizard but then rebooted.

4. Phone went into a bootloop.

5. Re-flashed the ROM without wiping.

6. The Phone won't get pass the HTC logo screen.

7. I went in recovery and wiped everything and Flashed Fresh's rom / this did not work.

8. I flashed maybe two other ROMS and still not working.

9. I went into bootloader and did a factory reset (I think this may have been my downfall)

10. The internal SD card is not mounted (or not mounted properly) in Recovery. (I can see the SD card, and see the TWRP folder but nothing else.)

11. Flashing any ROM fails. I see several lines of this error: "E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)"

12. I tried to do a restore but the file is not there (I guess it's because the internal SD card is acting up?)

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

----------------

Edit:

Here are some more errors that I see while in Recovery

E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)

E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)

Stab in the dark but can you get Windows to recognize the sd while in recovery? If so open cmd prompt and type chkdsk /X /F <SD card drive letter> and see if it repairs it......just a thought
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aloupha:
The problem is gone!

The strangest thing happened. I kept flashing roms and they kept failing. Eventually, I tried flashing the MeanRom and it flashed successfully.

I am not sure how that was possible but I am happy! I lost some most of files I had in the Internal SD card though but that's okay!

I am going to install the Classic Jewel rom again and see if the same thing happen again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mdjdudley:
I know this thread is a little old but i didn't find much else on this issue. I followed these steps to get a ROM loaded back on my phone

ROM update without SDcard

If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.

Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd )

adb shell

mount data

adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/

Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"

mount data

mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )

Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.

Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)

If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.

With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.

Or use adb to remove the custom recovery

adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip

I am still trying to figure out whats going on with my internal SD I will post if i find a solution.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Do not use clockwork recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mssidah:
Or even flash it in At&T SG3. Samsung said the hardware are the same and have all the frequencies. i believe it might not be advertised this way from the carriers. Just thinking out loud.

:confused:

Sorry i posted in the wrong section. Admin please move to Q&A

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Red5:
Eh, I dont think so. Not at first anyway... after some hackery it might be possible.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
The US versions are all the same.

The International version is very different.

It will never work.

I have yet to get 5 bars on my SGS3. Kinda odd.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] f3liC:
Not a good idea as someone already stated they're different. I did that once by accident with the original galaxy s. Flashed the canadian firmware for the US version of the phone and ended up bricking it. Not even a jig bought it back to life.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
It should work with the at&t and t-mobile sgs3 just like with the skyrocket and t-mobile's sgs2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] }{Alienz}{:
Are you sure? Can you reference someone or someplace that has had success with this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
The Skyrocket forums.. the AT&T Note also works because it also has the same SoC. The international version will never work with AWS though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lekz:
... if this is true, I'm getting an AT&T S3 at retail and then flash the radio to T-Mobile.

Chances are I won't resist temptation and get the t-mobile one anyway
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
It hasn't been tested yet on the S3. And while it works on the Note, it is far from optimal. I have not read since the early stages but it would freeze and get awful battery life on T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Product F(RED):
The US [GSM] models, ok. The international model, 100% no.

And as I understood, the T-Mobile version is pentaband out of the box (it will get AT&T 3G/4G 1900 MHz) because T-Mobile is moving to that frequency. So if anything, get the T-Mobile one and use it on AT&T if you don't care about LTE.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
what about the other way around, since at&t version is cheaper to get than t-mobile? My skyrocket had good battery life when I flashed t-mobile radio on to it...not sure about the note
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
The Note had abysmal battery life from what I read. Just wait for someone to do it (they will) so you don't have to possibly return whichever one you buy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mssidah:
Well the At&T Galaxy Note is what inspired me to think it might be doable!! The At&T Note i have is working fine with Simple Mobile and picking up 4g all the way. the battery sucks anyways even with the At&T modem. Also, you guys should note that stationed in Kuwait and im using the At&T Note with T-mobile modem overseas and still working great. Yes i have 3G as they dont have 4G here. they funny thing is that i still shows 4G and run about 19Mbps in most places.

I can get the international SGIII in Kuwait for $250 16G unlocked (NICE RIGHT?) but when im home i use the Simple mobile network(T-mobile).

you can call it greed but i want to have 2GB RAM, LTE, T-mobile 4G and the ablity to use every network in the world :p

I hope someone can make this happen
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Product F(RED):
The reason it worked with the AT&T Note is because the T-Mobile S2 used the same SoC (Snapdragons S3). The US Galaxy S3's have Snapdragon S4's, the International has an Exynos 4412. The SoC's (CPU, RAM, Radios, DAC) are COMPLETELY different. It will NOT work. It's not software magic that got the Note to work. It's the fact that it supported the 1700 MHz frequency. The Exynos SoC's radio doesn't. You'll end up bricking the phone and requiring a JTAG.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
No one listens to me :'( thanks for the backup Fred. Haha
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lekz:
To be fair, I never meant the International S3 :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RizSher:
Can you please confirm this, if I get the T-mobile version, and get it unlocked and use my existing AT&T sim on it, it will get 3G/4G speeds?. Would the international version also not give the same?. 4G speeds with AT&T?.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Product F(RED):
I'm using the i9300 (International) on Straight Talk AT&T, which runs on AT&T's base network, and I get full HSPA+ (of course, no LTE). The i9300 runs on AT&T's bands, so if you used it on T-Mobile you'd only get EDGE (for now, because they're moving their network onto the same frequency as AT&T). If the T-Mobile version is indeed pentaband as I suspect, then unlocking it and using it on AT&T will give you the same data speeds as using the international version on AT&T.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theking_13:
Only S3 that will work on all GSM carriers worldwide with 3/4G support is the T-Mobile one, seriously.

If you don't believe me, look it up and/or waste your money on an AT&T one hoping that one day you'll get 3G on T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Product F(RED):
All carriers in Europe use AT&T's bands for data. The US and Canada are the only ones with carriers that use 1700 MHz (T-Mobile, Wind Mobile, etc). They're already moving to AT&T (1900 MHz). And I've been to several Euro countries recently, they all sell the i9300.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinvam:
Europe and Asia tend to use 900/2100 actually. But yes, international models do tend to support 850/1900 over AWS (1700).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohammed510:
Hey guys,

iam thinking of selling my galaxy nexus and buying one of the new quad core devices,

i was really excited about the new coming Huawei Ascend D quad since it will features the fastest CPU and a 16 core GPU. However, i have recently heard that it will be delayed because of some issues with the CPU until late Augest or September.

i already have a Sony Xperia S and after a small comparison between them in term of screen, camera, build quality, CPU/GPU i think that the other device was slightly better, i have already found a buyer but i still hesitate because the Gnex will get Android 4.1 and 5.x before any other device out there.

so, what do you think guys?? :o

sorry for my poor English
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Do what you want to. Move on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohammed510:
The galaxy S3 has the same screen as the galaxy nexus. However, the last one has more pixel density because the screen is slightly smaller, in my opinion the sony xperia s has a better screen than both with 344 ppi reality display with mobie bravia engine,

The HOX has several problems already with wi-fi connection and some other software issues,

I dont prefer the user interface of the LG optimus 4X

Thats way i hesitate because i dont see a phone which is worth buying right now in my opinion

Besides all of them are cortex-A9

So, i think my point is clear now:rolleyes:

What can a quad core do that a dual core can't? (Besides scoring better in benchmarks which we all know are meaningless)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohammed510:
Hmm.. better battery life ?? Snapdragon S3 and TI OMAP 4460 are built on 45 nm

Exynos quad 32 nm and the snapdragon S4 28 nm

I know how my S3 works, you only get one CPU online + full adreno 220 support,

The other CPU will only work if you need extra power which is rare

So it is only about battrey life, you dont really need a dual core or a quad core CPU.

I like the idea of big. LITTLE CPU which is basically contains a powerfull cortex-A15 core and a cortex-A5 core which do easy to medium tasks efficiently, in case you need more power the other core wil be online to finish the job and then ofline again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
Back to my point, name me a few applications that use more than 2 cores. As far as the battery life, when you have all four running, battery is gonna take a hit

In the end its your decision. You're posting this on the GN forums, you're obviously gonna get a biased response
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohammed510:
This is correct for the current quad core cortex-A9 CPUs

However, things will be different with quad core cortex-A15 CPUs since they are so efficient

nVidia tegra 3 has 4 + 1 CPU, so they are telling us that . Our CPU is not so efficient since it was built on 40 nm and that's why we need one underclocked CPU to save battrey for the background process, people like woooow this device has 5 cores !!!!! Iam going to buy it now but they don't really know the truth about it

In other words.. we will have "real" quad core CPUs with a cortex-A15 in term of battery efficient and speed

As for me, I'm a college student so I wouldn't do this. Besides, we're not talking about a huge upgrade here. Sure the proc is better, but the GNex is more than capable in doing anything the One X or S III can do.

Point is, spend your money the way you wanna spend it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
whats the point?

the next nexus is just around the corner and rumors will start to flood in when you get your next device... and when its fully set up the way you want, nexus 4 rumors will already be "taunting" you towards to get it!

just stay with the nexus family and get no other phone than nexus devices.
