[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] breexy:
After rooting your phone is anyone having problems with system update alerts that keep coming up ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jm0nki3:
I just got the gs3 and my voicemail icon won't go away. I obviously don't have any voicemails and the date says 12-31-3011... any suggestions
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Snook321:
call yourself and leave a voicemail. Listen to it and delete it then it should go away

Hi,

We would like to share our simple battery widget....

DOWNLOAD HERE

Your feedback/comment is much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks
[HTC One S] TramainM:
Idk if this goes in Q/A or not I never had a Q/A section as I came from the amaze but anyway. What battery savers do you guys find best? I Use Batter Defender but doesn't seem to really extend it. Would i be better of not using one at all?
[HTC One S] OhToSee:
I use 3 programs to help me maximize my battery life.

1) Badass Battery Monitor to figure out what's sucking juice, how long I've left, and how long until I'm full.

2) 2x Battery to manage background data. This probably saves me the most battery by disabling that data transfer a lot of the time.

3) Lux Auto Brightness to tweak my screen brightness. It's pretty much on "dark" now all the time aside for when I'm in really bright light.
[HTC One S] Alie360:
JuiceDefender

I use the free version and it's very good!
[HTC One S] klin1344:
I think the most effective battery saver is to flash a kernel that has become voltage control features and undervolt the cpu.

[HTC One S] MadJoe:
I'm not a fan of under volting the CPU. Mainly because if my understanding of Ohms Law is correct, it's pointless. And my personal experience with it seems to corroborate my feelings.

Under volting the CPU in my experience just introduces stability and reliability issues. I've personally never seen any battery savings from it, especially since the CPU should, theoretically, just draw more current (I) to compensate for the lower voltage (E). It's watts (P = ExI) that matter, and the CPU, if I understand correctly, is going to demand the necessary P for the frequency requested. So under volting either starves the CPU (it can't get enough P), or over currents it (it draws more I to compensate for less E). There are slight variations in each CPU, obviously, which may allow for a margin of under volting to be possible without issue, but the battery savings of this, I feel, are so small, any you notice are most likely a placebo effect. Your screen, and apps constantly polling the CPU or network are your biggest source of battery drain to worry about IMHO.
[HTC One S] rickyoon.vegas:
I use Power Controls widget.

Unless I'm actively using internet, I make sure to turn 4G data to 2G. That alone saves so much battery. If I want further battery saved, I disable internet completely with a touch of a widget. Now my phone will last a week just by what phones do best: Making phonecalls and texting.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
I'm on 2.1 GHz overclock processor and when battery goes below 30% it goes to 1ghz I can see the battery being saved
[HTC One S] Alie360:
With an higher frequency the phone will use more power, like a pc processor when you overclock it so this is natural, but overclocking/downclocking has nothing to do with undervolting, MadJoe is right.

With JuiceDefender for example you can set your 3g/4g to shut off when you don't use the phone, it activates 3g/4g when you use your phone and at regular intervals in backgroud so it can fetch emails etc.

All automatic so you don't have to switch off and back on network connection every time.

As network connection is one of the services that consumes the battery a lot this is really effective and really improves battery life!
[HTC One S] Altitudes90:
I've read a lot of complaints about these PowerManagement Apps using more battery life then they safe.

I don't know if this is right.

At the moment I'm running CM9 with modified auto-brightness options, auto-sync and 2G/3G/WIFI always on.

I'm really happy with the battery life I get, so I don't see why you would need a Battery Saver app with this phone. :)
[HTC One S] fanboy:
Heh, so why did you get a smart phone. Some older nokia's that can only talk and text can last for weeks on one charge, if you want a model # I can look it up 4 u.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Things that will be needed

Duct tape lots of duct tape

cooler of striophone nature (sp)

1-mini parashoot

1-2 Sgs4g's One for Gps tracking one for video recording. At least no less then 1 sgs4g Can Find a gps tracker to keep in the box.

1 helliem filled Weather balloon

Some wire.

A few Hand warmer heat packs to keep it all nice and toasty in there.

Some small weights for stability.

Most of the stuff I have access to..

The mission Once TeamAcid Reaches major milestone I plan on Finding a Sgs4g Flashing there milestone rom to it.. Install a 32 gb sd card to it and let it float to 107 Km into the upper atmosphere. At that point it will Pop do to the lack of air at that where the package will para shoot back down to earth. Using Gps location will track down package and recover said sgs4g at that time video will be made and posted... :P

In case of alien abduction all Team-acid names + white-hawk and Krylons name will be also loaded inside :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Why?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sublimespot:
That's awesome :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sublimespot:
To commemorate team acids hard work!!!

Edit: and why not? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sublimespot:
I wonder how many other phones have been shot into space :)

Sgs4g..................making history
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
because it can be done and its fun!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
actually Samsung did it to launch there galaxy line They went as far as to people could text message the phone at that heights lol..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sublimespot:
Gotta love Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StonedYoda:
I might be down to donate mine. Depends on if i can claim it as lost on my insurance and get a new one. When is this gonna go down?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
id need to get all the stuff lol.. I have most of mostly id need someone to loan me a sgs4g or find one cheep If you need it back i can give it back lol provided something doesn't happen and it actually went into space lol...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
Well I will like to help ( and see first time that i read this:p) but cant do that you know dollars here are expensive and I dont think my parents like the idea:(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
So, you are asking Us (the SGS4G Community) for a phone?

**EDIT**

I only ask because I donated to two phone funds in the past. White‘s twice and krylon's once.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Do we have to get clearance from the FAA for this? lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
If we do then this is just another useless thread. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
no im not asking for donates for a phone ... IF someone wanted to offer theres up or wanted to thats on them just telling u what i need lol..

As far as FFA clearance goes yes u actually do lol. Its easy to get for science projects lol.

Looking over the Flight path IF i start in northren cali where i live it should land somewhere near so cal lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StonedYoda:
Yeah if I'm getting it back no problem. If it ends up burning in the atmosphere I'll file an insurance claim lol. I use my tablet for almost everything now. Only using my phone for texts really and I can do that through Google voice. So just say when you're ready
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I don't think your insurance would cover this.. You should PM him if you are serious. This is a public forum and I'm sure xda doesn't promote insurance fraud. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ChadBFlores:
RaverX3X: you might want to install something like this and also buy an extended battery just in case it takes a while to find :)

Best of luck! Sounds incredible! =D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
alrighty got it its installed on the device im going to use for gps tracking.

Found a chest to use for it already cut down the lip of the chest so it can be sealed airtight. Cut 2 holes in it and wired and threaded the harness Added the weights to stabilize the payload. Its a very simple build tbh. Payload is going to be about 5.5 pounds

Also adding a Casio Camera to this that records in HD format so i can get some other angles.

and as far as helping goes. If we can accurttly project enough where it should land if theres anyone else that lives in california that would love to come help even if its for recovering it when done that wold be great . :P

looking at seeing if this will work and not interfear with the recording

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Raver, consider talking to Erikmm.

Maybe he can port it some engine and wings...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Haha a joke I'm assuming? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
It's a compliment, port master.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
Lol this sounds like a cool idea
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Joshhayes801:
Haha. This sounds hella cool.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Raver have you factored in weather conditions as to the landing point? Also a long life battery for the gps unit would be real good. I think this is a neat idea. Maybe if the device had service you could program a tasker profile to do live feed for like ten minutes at a time untilt he battery got to a certain level then power down radios to keep it from dying completely.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
ya was thinking about that id need to find a slim enough battery that could extend the life of both and have duel usb port. Already looking at remote ip to camera interaction it looks dooable with apps off the market actually.. ;P

Ps who ever keeps rating my threads 1 star GO**** Yourself. Cause awe dont have enough balls to say i suck to my face be a man own up...

no im not mad lol... Just if u got a issue spit it out dont hide behind a rating system like a coward.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
RaverX3X

Thanks Meter - 4376

I can say 100% without a doubt that there are way more people who enjoy your posts than the one person who is against them and too pansy to say anything directly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi Raver

Anyway you can get us better wifi reception? The padded modems in MTD are not giving me the Val.Final reception, which was lower than other phone to begin with...

I remember something about you experimenting this kinda stuff, just before you left.

And I'm not off topic, I want to be able to have wifi reception of several miles height ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
Could you implement a solar charger that would guarantee the battery to last the whole trip
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
lol that's is very expensive but its a good idea
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
if only the radio shack solar pannel generated enough output lol.. cause its only a few bucks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
I could swear I saw somewhere a back pack with a solar panel built in to it. Obviously intended for the serious hiker or outdoorsman. Maybe one could be found and also double as the cargo hold. I want to say i seen one of these at walmart not sure on the price though
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xxKamikazexx:
Quick question ..... this may sound a bit out of the ordinary but,

Is Raver a chick or a dude? O.o lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
bryan knows the answer to that lol....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
I found this back pack and panelshttp://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=Solar%20Panels%20Backpacks&adid=22222222220021045456&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=b&wl1=g&wl2=&wl3=8306309544&wl4=

Woah! :screwy:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hwchan:
Well, if you launch before early-August, I'm in SoCal, or after that, I'll be in the Bay Area. Would be sweet to help out with this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
Have you even thought about the fact that this could land is someones backyard that has no intentions of returning.Whoa two cell phones fell from the heavens into my yard I'm so lucky. Or even worse possibility of falling into ocean or a lake not sure where you are located in reference to the coast or other water. I know jet stream flow east bound but you never know. Maybe tie some floaties of inflatable ring to it. JMO
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
For batteries your best bet is to make a custom battery charger pack. I picked up a 10 pack of old Motorola cell phone batteries for like 15 bucks on eBay. You just remove the circuitry and wire them all in parallel to the USB end.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
Is this project still in effect?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
i sure hope so, we should definitely do it and ive been wanting to launch something into space with a weather balloon! we could all meet up in cali or washington for bryan haha
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
you expect me to go from the east coast to the west coast to meet you all? i love you guys (no homo), but not that much. :p unless someone wants to start up a new "send a gfx master to cali" fund thread. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
Raver you should send your laptop to space also.maybe the manufacturer will send you a new one for the advertisement of their laptop going to space.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
the point is to send sometihng working into space theres enough junk already floating out there.

and yes the project is still underway mb me and a few others from cali can meet up and do this <3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
i better be there! im only a couple hours away
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Look up Bishop, CA. It would be the perfect place to launch. It's almost equi-distant from LA, San Fran, and Vegas. Plus then my lazy ass doesn't have to go anywhere.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] PANTERA56:
S#!t I'm in southern CA I'd be down to see this phone shot to the moon lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4127440:
Is Uranus in the Milkyway?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
I've had BusyBox Free on my Nexus for many months... only there to keep me on the latest version. Well, yesterday it told me about 1.20.2 so I let it install that but it was a big mistake.

The memory is locked at read only now. I can even see last files written to it were...

busybox-stericson

toolbox-stericson

It crashes if I don't quickly put it in airplane mode, for example. I can push and delete files via adb, but that's only fake because once the buffer fills with backlogged changes, the phone crashes. In fastboot, erasing userdata, etc. doesn't really erase anything. Locking/Relocking the bootloader doesn't reallly take effect either, and neither does reflashing recovery. Formatting the internal memory doesn't have an effect, and while restoring a recovery backup goes through the motions, it complains at the end about the memory being read only.

I wrote the BusyBox Free developer an email last night but didn't get a response yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stericson:
I don't know how this is possible.

BusyBox doesn't change anything to read only, except for /system, which is suppose to be read only anyways.

Besides this point, anything Busybox would have done, in regards to remounting partitions to rw, ro, or whatever a reboot would reset these to their defaults.

I suspect something else is going on. Maybe an applet or something of the like has been replaced that is causing this issue, but I have never heard of my installer causing an issue like this.

also, those files you are talking about being written, are written to you SDCard or internal storage which is not a part of your phones system memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
The Galaxy Nexus lumps all its memory in one 32GB pool (internal with SD) which is normally great compared to all my other Android devices. Regardless, writes to any of the filesystems don't appear to get committed from a buffer.

Anyways, thanks for the response. I'm gonna' have to do some more research and hope there's nothing wrong at the hardware layer (eg. write-enable/disable trace on chip). Physically, my phone is pampered and in mint condition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] consultant.ben:
I would say that's pretty dang good response time from the dev, and on the forum, even.

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
I agree, Ben. I have to remember this is more of a volunteer effort here, unlike at work where I'm a product engineer with certain response time criteria. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stericson:
Hmmm, even with the memory being all internal I don't change any of the write permissions on the external storage...

Did you replace any applets?

Did you use smart install or normal install?

Maybe some applet got replaced that otherwise shouldnt have been...

If you run a logcat, do you notice any weird errors....if so, what are they stating?

Also, when your phone crashes, can you give us the actual logcat of the crash?

Also, I try to respond as quick as possible, but I have so little time to dedicate to my own personal applications nowadays :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
I didn't replace any applets, and have never used your applet manager. Also, normally I wait for your smart install to scan, but I remember I did something abnormal that day and impatiently hit install (ie. normal install) while it was doing its smart scan. It reported successfully installing 1.20.2 though.

Per your request... adb logcat -d -v time > logfile.txt

I put that file on my website at http://ErichMoraga.com/logcat.txt

I pulled the SIM card so I wouldn't have to put it into airplane mode, and got the logcat once the OS loaded after a crash. At first I thought this part was curious...

07-08 12:18:01.234 I/SystemServer( 186): Mount Service

07-08 12:18:01.234 D/MountService( 186): got storage path: /mnt/sdcard description: Internal Storage primary: true removable: false emulated: true mtpReserve: 100 allowMassStorage: false maxFileSize: 0

07-08 12:18:01.234 D/MountService( 186): using emulated external storage

But then I searched on the Internet and noticed other people had that too. This logcat didn't appear to catch the actual crash (I don't see how it could if I'm having a read only memory problem).

I understand we both don't have much free time, being technical people. Normally I'm analyzing logs for customers, so it's frustrating 'shooting my own device. I do appreciate any insight anyone has, and am concerned this could happen to other people too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
Well, I bought myself another Nexus so I'd have something to keep me going. I also disassembled my faulty one to inspect the module with the 32GB Sandisk memory, but couldn't see anything wrong with it. If I can find a replacement, I can easily swap modules I suppose...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snags697:
What about the output of adb shell ls -l --color=never /system/bin? Maybe one of the necessary programs (e.g. mount) is missing or has a dead link.

-Snags
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
Thanks for the response, Snags. I uploaded output to that here...

http://ErichMoraga.com/color.txt

I haven't scoured that for yet for missing programs, dead links, etc. Mount seems to be there...

lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 19 Jul 5 2012 mount -> /system/bin/busybox

Since there's so much BusyBox redirection going on there, it still supports my theory that the BusyBox installation was the root cause of the read only memory issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
I'm sure there is a way to debug the Nexus in real-time. I'll have to find out the command for that (ie. dump threads, etc. as they occur to my PC via USB). A reliable way to crash the phone is to wait about 5 seconds into the scan at... Settings > Storage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
I also noticed other people have similar problems not being able to write any of their memory...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756111
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snags697:
I'm a Linux guy and just learning Android. My first impression would be to double-check with a known writable directory. If you can't write in the /data/local directory (adb push anyfile /data/local/), check the mount status of everything: adb shell toolbox mount should do that with the native toolbox instead of busybox. Each entry should list either "rw" or "ro" amidst the gibberish. If /data is "ro", remounting from a root prompt (toolbox mount -o remount,rw ... /data) (Note: no space before rw, and replace ... with whatever was listed before /data in the list of mounted filesystems above) may give you write access to /data/local.

Then again, I think this is pointless, because if fastboot can't write to the internal SD (like the link you posted), something hardware-related or partition-related must be going on. Maybe the partition table got fried. Fastboot is only willing to write whole partitions that are genuine, I think. So if the partitions are messed up, it may prevent fastboot from doing anything. To see the partition table, you'd need root (there's a hole in the bucket...) and from a root prompt, run: parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 then from the (parted) prompt, type print. Quit or exit should get you out of there. Compare the output to "Need a copy of a stock GSM Nexus partition table" (Google it, I can't post links yet).

Of course, if you don't have root, this all doesn't help.

-Snags
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
Yet another person has the same problem as me... [writing to the memory card isn't actually committed, effectively making it read-only]

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28707474

My new phone will arrive Monday so I'll be able to perform more comparative analysis then. That said, since parted can't even make effective changes (I already tried), this may be a tricky fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
If you don't mind the fact that it'll result in a full wipe including internal storage, you could try:

Open up any Google official ROM and extract the userdata img file.

Go into fastboot and flash that img. Reboot. Let it go through the full reboot process.

If something went wonky with how the partition is configured, that should set it straight. If it's a hardware problem you are still boned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
So yes, it seems i have a pretty similar problem with mine : nothing can be written anymore on the internal memory, whatever i can try : in recovery, in windows or with a file manager in the phone. Plus it is in bootloops constantly.

But i haven't touch at Busybox at all ; i mean it comes with Trinity kernel i use, so i don't bother to install or update it....Problem appeared just after this procedure :

- Downloaded a new Rom

- Rebooted to recoverry (TWRP)

- Made a Nand

- Wiped cache/dalvik/data

-Flashed new Rom/ gapps

-Rebooted...in the old configuration, just as if i've done nothing ! O_O......then i knew something was getting really bad....

As i said in the other thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756334&page=2) i've just sent it to Samsung for repair under warranty...so i'll tell you in about 2/3 weeks when they'll return it, if they accept it, becaused even if I relocked the bootloader, it is still rooted.....but as it is surely a hardware problem, the warranty should work.

Anyway, i read somewhere that people had experienced this kind of issue after a "bad nandroid", or EMMC (?)....i'm not sure of what it means though....
