hi all rooted my phone and installed cwm using this guild

http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-sprint-galaxy-s3-sgh-l747/

it installed CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip , everything is working fine but i have no external sd card while in cwm ... even if i try to manually mount it i get no error and it won't mount .

anyone have a working version of cwm that is compatible with the sgh-i747m (rogers) and working external_sd ?

when in cwm version is cwm 5.5.0.4
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
Nope. No one currently has externalsd support in cwm with our version. Down the road yes but not yet.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NextNexus:
Two major things that caused me to switch back to the iPhone.

Threaded group SMS

GMail fit to screen

First, does Jelly Ben incorporate Group SMS so that I can have group chats with my iPhone and Blackberry friends/colleagues? Without this feature, Android is a nonstarter b/c it's one of the main means of communication in my company.

Second, the GMail app was virtually useless when I received HTML emails b/c I was forced to scroll left and right just to read the email. It was completely absurd. Has Jelly Bean fixed this in the latest version of Android?

Thanks.

Anyone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] corcovo:
Uhh, I cannot post this in development as I am still a newby :-(

However:

Hello,

I came from Symbian (Nokia C7-00) and liked the phone very much. Everything worked the way it should. (I was especially interested in office functionality.)

Now I bought a Galaxy Note and I really love the hardware.

But I discovered that it uses much energy and it doesn't like to sleep as often as it could. (I already returned to Android GB, which gives a better experience, but there still is room for improvement.)

1. Sometimes even though the phone simply lies around and does nothing, the last app that I forgot to close is hindering the CPU from sleeping. Why? The is no need.

2. At night I am used to turn the phone into flight mode. However I found out that this isn't the best thing for Android. In the morning, when the email app goes to push phase, the phone leaves sleep mode and seems to excitedly wait for the flight mode to get switched off. This uses *quite* a bit of battery!

These things seem strange to me. My impression is that Android is not really optimised for cell phones. If the screen is off, there is no need for CPU time, doesn't it? There is nothing urgent to do; everything could be done slowly; no hurry.

I guess the battery could last *much* longer if this would be improved.

Greetings,

corcov

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antiochasylum:
Doesn't matter.

Development, if you did not create IT, then it does not belong in development. Remember that. Otherwise you will get flamed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
Android is a mobile OS, so of course it is optimised for smart phones - not ordinary cell phones. Android acts like a computer and, if you keep a computer running Crysis 2 for example, it would burn more power than a computer just playing some music off of iTunes.

In terms of improving your battery, check your brightness. You can download widgets to adjust the brightness right from the home screens. I use these to set my brightness to its lowest whilst at home (perfectly adequate for night and indoor use away from sunlight) and turn it onto automatic when I go outside. This has saved my a bunch of battery.

If you are running a stock Samsung ROM, turn on power saving mode. I always leave it on and, frankly, I have no idea as to what it actually does. I haven't noticed a performance drop in the slightest, but if it saves a bit of battery it is worth it. Also, you could try Juice Defender or some other battery saving apps which work for some people - others not.

Finally, ensure you haven't left GPS, Bluetooth or WiFi on when not needed. Try downloading CPU Spy to check your phone deep sleeps, yet mine even without it ever deep sleeping gets around 16 hours of battery life which is still the best I have ever gotten on a smart phone. Bettery Battery Stats can show you wake-locks (apps that are keeping your phone active) also.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] corcovo:
I see. Well it might be a nice feature if one could add an "now be a cell phone"-option for energy enhancement, which means: if screen if off, sleep. :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
There are some legitimate needs for keeping the CPU from sleeping for a short period of time - such as finishing a sync operation (otherwise, the radio power spent beginning the sync is wasted). Unfortunately, some poorly written applications (Facebook for example) abuse the wakelock mechanisms and hold wakelocks when it is not justified.

This is not something I have ever encountered myself. "push" relies on the server to trigger something - in airplane mode, this trigger can't happen.

Android is well optimized for cell phones - However, it assumes that third-party applications follow Google's recommendations for power management. Unfortunately, many of them do not. The number of IM applications which choose to use their own proprietary and poorly optimized network protocols (such as Skype, it's atrocious) as opposed to Google C2DM (optimized and efficient) is astonishing.

An interesting note was that I believe much of the focus at Google I/O was on reminding app developers that they need to play nice with the system and other apps.

There are some cases where there are device-specific nonoptimalities. Compared to most Nexus devices, Exynos devices have an absurdly long time to resume from wake (1000 milliseconds), and during that resume cycle CPU frequency is locked to 800 MHz and cpuidle is disabled. This is one of the #1 causes of power drain on our device. This is also exclusively a Samsung kernel/hardware architecture problem that does not affect the Nexus S (similar CPU, but completely different modem interface) or the Galaxy Nexus (different CPU/modem interface).

In the case of our device, the modem is hung off of the CPU on a USB bus - this makes for very long resume times.

Here are obvious reasons the CPU should occasionally turn on when the screen is off:

1) MP3 playback in the background

2) Handling of background syncs - e.g. when an email or Google Talk IM comes in, wake the CPU, handle it, and pop a notification sound, then go back to sleep. Normally, this means the CPU sleeps while waiting for an interrupt from the WLAN chipset or the cellular radio. Unfortunately, some apps drive incoming data to the device far too frequently. (See my above rant about Skype's network protocols being crap compared to Google's C2DM protocol.)

3) Handling of scheduled wakeups (alarms, calendar events, etc) - these are rare and almost never consume power

Most power drain is from item 2, with third-party apps frequently behaving extremely poorly compared to Google's own application suite and sync protocols.

Now this an extensive answer which is very informative and helpful for me since insights are always soothing. Love it. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
not much to add after Entropy, but if you feel the need to get some control over battery usage you could try betterbatterystats app (and the thread) to identify battery eaters, besides that, there are few apps to check what is going on with your system when it sleeps:

- CPU Spy to show cpu states time

- Autorun Manager or Autostarts to disable triggers causing apps like FB to run without reason (those which you will find with betterbatterystats)

- Battery Monitor Widget, to check battery current consumption (mA) - this app is generally not recommended, because Note's hardware does not report the actual current, so the readings are highly estimated and because when poorly configured it can drain your battery faster, BUT otoh with refresh rate set at 5 minutes or more, it can give you some approximate orientation on how much battery you lose (better than counting %/hour by yourself) at negligible battery usage

- also, if you feel the need to disable net and sync during night, you could automate it using "lama", which is free, and in my experience does not eat much battery by itself

- and last but not least, avoid taskillers, those apps may have adverse effect, i.e. self restarting apps (by the triggers mentioned above), will get killed then restarted and so on and so on, leading to much higher battery drain

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatnextdoorboy:
In case of broken mainboards, from what i know, they can't tell if the phone had custom rom or that it was even rooted because your system partition is on that mainboard and it's not cost effective to try and salvage the system partition to prove you broke the warenty.

Stock froyo or gingerbread would not raise any suspicions at the service but then again, they can be installed only via kdz witch needs usb, the thing that is broken in your phone. From my knoledge.

Maybe after you flash the rooted froyo or gb you can unroot? Haven't tried that on flashable gb or froyo. If that would work i think you would be safe and the warenty would remain intact
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lipe082:
i already send you link you can unroot rom after install it.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marquo007:
I have decided to try to flash stock froyo + stock recovery. Hopefully it will leave no trace of my custom rom and rooting activities :)

Searching this forum and google I have only found one flashable zip of stock froyo V10e, since almost all links are dead or threads are closed, but for my country it says V10d. Can anyone that still posesses these files, reuploads them somewhere? Since our phone is getting older, people with a problem like mine might still need them. Or this isn't really important?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marquo007:
Thank you, but sadly i forgot i still use old baseband radio(i went back from new because of a rom) and gingerbread probably won't work.

Phone has a modified status, no way to erase it yet, and I need to exchange the phone. So my solution is to brick it so it won't turn on. (It's a Bell SGH-747M).

A member said he bricked his with an i9300 Omega ROM, but no mater what I flash it won't hard brick. Even pulling out the battery while flashing a boot.img just puts it into recovery mode..

Any ideas?

Both are sitting relatively idle. Now say I turn on data start surfing the net, downloading, playing a game etc. temps don't go much above 40 °C (104°F). If ambient temperature is higher such as living in hotter climate, no air conditioning, or outside YMMV.

I've noticed my T999 rooted stock seems a little hot recently even though it wasn't doing much. I don't want it to be warm because it's distracting. It feels warm in my pocket, and when I grab it it feels warm (the bottom third). Each time it bothers me, because I know that heat is wasted battery.

If I was playing a 3D game or watching a streaming HD video, then OK if it gets a little warm but not if it's just sitting idle. It's going to drive me nuts if I can't make it stop.
