[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Huntly:
I have a rooted 8gb NT, all was working great until a few days ago. I turned it off one night while I was fixing my wifi router and didn't want anyting trying to conect to it and in the morning when I turned it back on it froze on "Bauwks box." The grey screen comes on, then the box comes up but when it looks like it tries to go into CWM the screen starts twiching and doesn't load. Before this it would boot happily with no issues. I have tried to get it to boot with a new SD root card and a recovery card to no avail. Any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
So, what is Bauwks Box? Haha did you just now make that up?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheForceUnleashed:
I think it's the bootloader. Remember Bauwks, the one who broke the bootloader and helped us get ROMS on the Nook Tablet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I know who Bauwks is. It's just funny that OP named it that.

But anyway, are you trying to boot into CWM when you see the box?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Huntly:
Nope, not trying to get into CWM it is just doing it on it's own instead of a normal boot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgristy:
... Or at least I can't boot into it. I just end up in the stock recovery whatever method I use to boot into recovery.

I installed CWM (a few different versions) via Odin, once using the Galaxy SIII toolkit.

I honestly have no idea what's going on here. I usually just lurk in xda and follow the tutorials, but I can't seem to find anyone else who's had this problem.

Hello Everyone! I've created a Smartphone Hardware Survey on Survey Monkey to get people's opinions on items like buttons, form factor, memory cards, and screen size. I think it will be pretty interesting to see what popular opinion shows.

I've tried to be as unbiased as I can in the creation of this survey. In a few weeks when we've gotten enough responses to have a good data set, I'll update this thread with the results. Please only fill it out once. Thanks for contributing!

[HTC One S] M9x3mos:
Hello all,

Saw a few other posts to overheating when not doing much or anything but recently noticed a problem with using the GPS while charging will cause it to over heat and no longer charge. The battery will get in excess of 47° C when this is happening and idles at 33° C.

Seems mainly with GPS though, on call with wifi and bluetooth running at 35° C.

I am using a HTC - T-Mobile myTouch charger with 5V-1A put so is not a high output charger.

Has anyone else seen this?

I know I am not having any luck with these phones.

First one had problems with when using GPS would loose data connection till GPS was discontinued.

Second (this one) has the above problem and had a exchange sent for about 4 hours wouldn't turn on no matter what I did. After I had exchange sent turned on fine and hasn't happened since.

Third (sent back already) had the same problems as the first one will loose data and cell signal when using GPS and will come back when disabled but not till then.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
Honestly, you can't expect a phone not to get hot while charging and using GPS. GPS takes a lot of power, also with the screen being on the entire time it takes up even more.

Almost any smart phone should be able to handle 47° C, I wouldn't suggest it for long extended periods of time though.

Most android devices have heat alert that pops up if your phone gets too hot, I'm not sure if ours has one. I've read on a couple of posts of phones running around 125 Fahrenheit, without a warning.

As for the Data kicking off while using GPS, I don't see why it would, mine doesn't. Not sure what to tell you.

Are you running a custom rom?
[HTC One S] M9x3mos:
I do expect it to get hot.

That is normal as the phone is using alot of resources to do that function.

But it should not get to a point where it stops charging.

I have had the Amaze, Sensation, MT4GS, and G2x all have gotten warm but not really a problem where it caused it to stop accepting a charge.

I always remove it from the d30 case and set i cup holder so not trapping heat to avoid the problem.

A few times I have gotten it that hot with it not plugged in.

I only see the "overheat notification" orange blink green blink cycle when it is plugged in charging. If not charging not a problem there.

No custom rom or anything 100% stock and locked yet.

Data connection lost is a weird one.

My Girl has the same phone with no problem there and the 2nd device don't loose data connection just that it heats up really good. Don't know about heat on hers since she don't use GPS long enough to require a charge like I do.

Just the first and third phone that was sent to me have this problem with lose of data connection. Can't use it long enough to see if it over heats :-( lol
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
I completely skipped over the not charging part, after it gets hot.

I'm going on a trip in a few days, I'll see if my behaves similiarly.

I would just take it back and try again, no data while using GPS is pointless, unless its just a simple setting somewhere I've never seen.
[HTC One S] M9x3mos:
Just tried a different charger and it got up to 45°c too

Both car chargers work fine on my other phones so don't think is that.
[HTC One S] icecicle:
I use mine for GPS a lot (just made a trip from Atlanta to Knoxville ) and had my phone charging playing music and navigating and yes it got hot but it never stopped charging or did the blink cycle .. only time I saw anything remotely close to that is when I left my g2x outside while I was playing ball and saw a notification saying its too hot to operate but nothing on my s
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
I've been using my GPS for the last couple of hours now, been downloading maps for when I know I don't have service also along with navigation.

I'm ay 45 Celsius right now. I'm using a fm transmitter with a built on usb outlet on it that doesn't put out the needed power to keep my phone charged. If I was using a real car charger work the correct output I'm sure I would be a little more hot.

No data problems so far or anything else.
[HTC One S] M9x3mos:
yeah the last few days I have been using it didn't break over 45 much but seems like I need to keep the AC pretty high to accomplish that.

Currently here in PA we have had a few really hot days for us which I know is much toward other states but has been in the mid to high 90's.

I think just the heat from that with windows down is not enough to keep it cool enough.

If the phone gets arround 45 c will be border line and seems like 46 is where over heat protection comes in and stops charging.

As a test I put my sensation in a thick rubber case left charging from 70% and gps that got up to 48 c but never stopped charging. Normally I never ever leave the case on while I do that but wanted to see in this case what would happen.

So it seems like just a HTC One S thing that if reaches a certain point to stop charging to help prevent damage or something.
[HTC One S] evo9mrjr:
i always have a data connection issue while using gps i have ever since i got this phone so that custom rom talk is bs this phone drops data all the time while using gps at the same timeand will not return until the gps is off
[HTC One S] kingcharles1666:
My phone also has the loss of data issue while using GPS. Shortly after the data loss it will also loose GPS signal and for me a reboot is the only solution :mad:
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
You're talking about using the browser whole navigating. Which I personally don't have issues with...

Putting the Phone in front of an AC is essential in the summer time.

As for the data and gps issues, are you on the latest firmware and radio?
[Motorola Droid X2] PCWright86:
I have been using this forum for about 3 months now and I would have to say that the Droid X2 forum is one of the best on xda. Developers on this forum have more patience with everybody than I ever could. Whenever a question is asked you can guarantee it will be answered quickly with an explanation that doesn't try to make you look stupid. I have been messing with my friends phone and the forum for his phone, not going to name, is nowhere near as helpful or friendly as this one. In my opinion the attitude of this forum is what draws individuals to learn and progress.

First of all, I would like to say hello, since I'm new on this forum!

So, to begin with, my problem is the following: I'm trying to install the CyanogenMod on my vodafone 858 smart. I followed the instructions on this forum:

-rooted my phone

-installed ROM Manager + Clockwork recovery

-in ROM Manager I selected Install ROM from SD card -> checked to make a backup, to wipe data and cache and to wipe dalvik cache

-phone rebooted into recovery mode -> could't see anything but the small hourglass

-waited for more then an hour, nothing changed, hourglass was still there

-took out battery, reinserted it, started phone and everything worked properly, but I still have 2.2 version of Android

-I tried to install CyanogenMod again, this time switching off my phone, and rebooting into recovery mode manually

-after rebooting into recovery mode, a message appeared, saying it is unpacking 1/2 (the process bar not moving anything not even after an hour) and below it states that the 'update has failed'

Could anyone please help me with this issue, I'd really like to upgrade my phone, but I can't seem to manage.

ps.: sorry if this has been asked, I couldn't find a similar thread.

Thank you!

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Dyelon:
So I use stock browser/ICS browser+ to surf. And watching embedded YouTube videos within websites is a nightmare. I have STICK IT! App or even YouTube app so I'd have no problem using those but to even get the "share" button accessible I have to click play which causes a big lag and then im frantically trying to click share, which usually doesn't work. If I just let it play and then click fullscreen within the site it lags and usually freezes and blacks out screen and doesn't play

To add, I have sites loaded as "desktop" by default.

Usually what I end up doing is looking at video title and trying to find it myself on the YouTube app.

What are your guys' thoughts on playing embedded YouTube videos? Lately its been so frustrating.

EDIT: I forgot what the final straw was that had me post on here.....after the you tube video freezes or bugs out, the browser bugs and wont load a page until I reboot xoom, even if I end task in manager

Try reinstalling flash on your xoom. Just go to the play store and look up "Flash". You should see something like "Adobe Flash". Uninstall it, and then reinstall it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mj23kb08:
I've noticed after the ICS OTA update that my video quality isn't nearly as crisp and clear on both youtube and netflix as it was on gingerbread. I'm streaming videos over a 4g connection and I have the HQ option checked on my youtube app. Has anyone else noticed this issue yet? Is there a fix?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddgarcia05:
It streams clearer on wifi than on LTE.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mj23kb08:
That may be the case, but that's not what I'm referring to. Before, when I was on gingerbread, if I was in an LTE area videos from both netflix and youtube would stream at a very crystal clear quality. Now that I'm on ICS I'm noticing a lower quality in the videos from both of those applications while in the same LTE scenario. Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I the only one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skatingrocker17:
I went from the Droid Razr when I found had good LTE reception at my house to the Galaxy Nexus which was terrible. After that, I got the Rezound which brought back the good LTE reception, about 10Mbps every time. Then the iPhone 4S which obviously doesn't have 4G. Then I got the Droid Charge which got me about ~10Mbps on 4G.

I always had 4/5 bars on my Droid Charge, at times I would have 3/5 and my LTE speeds were fast but I just got the Galaxy S III today and my LTE speeds are way, way down. I usually only get ~4Mbps down now and upload speeds have decreased as well. Ping also rose pretty dramatically.

Signal strength on the Droid Charge was usually about -85db and right now the GS3 is reading -111db. The radio in the phone is definitely inferior to the ones in the Rezound, Razr and Charge.

For reference, I'm 1.78 miles away from the Verizon cell phone tower. Is anyone else experiencing a drop in signal quality? I remember it was a pretty big deal with the Galaxy Nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] geekaren:
I have the same question... curious how VZW SGS3 radios / network connectivity are in comparison to Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skatingrocker17:
I've had both home and they appear to be the same because they perform similarly, which is not a good thing. I have noticed that the phone does allow for simultaneous voice and data over 3G which is different from Verizon's Galaxy Nexus, I'm always in 3G on the first floor of my house unfortunately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] geekaren:
Agree, if the radios perform similarly.... that's not a good thing. Appreciate this feedback.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uber_mike:
Its not exactly a "scientific" test but I had full 4G on the SGS3 while my friend next to me had 2 bars on his Nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BeavermanA:
I just tested this today with my Thunderbolt running a very old GB radio version against my SGS3.

Thunderbolt gets 3 bars, SGS3 only has one at my house. Did two speed tests inside, and one outside. All three times the TB had almost exactly double the Mbps down of the SGS3. Twice the SGS3 failed to start the upstream test citing communication issues. The time it did complete, the TB again was twice the speed.

Pretty disappointing to say the least. What's more disappointing is I only get 4-5Mbps down these days with the TB, while the SGS3 was only getting 2-2.5Mbps down. Little over a year ago when I got my TB, I'd always get 11mbps+ down at my house. So looking like the network is getting pretty saturated in my area these days.

I've been on vacation since before I got my SGS3, so we'll see how it goes at work when I return tomorrow. LTE signal is better there, on the TB anyway. Not a big deal at my house since I have FIOS 75/35 internet, but it will suck if the SGS3 gets poor speeds all over the city.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skatingrocker17:
Well it's good to know that I'm not crazy then. It MAY be better than the Nexus but it's still not great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psycho_asylum:
I'm in an area that's pretty new to LTE. Where I sit now, I have 4 bars and with a speed test have seen speeds at around 41Mbps down and 13Mbps up. My coworker with his Droid 4 gets about half of the speed I do. I can't test my Thunderbolt right now (no microSIM adapter yet), but before activating my GS3, I was getting around 26Mbps on speed tests from this same location.
