[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Germanauto-guy:
Battery Heat and Drain

Just had the phone for over a week now. My battery life is quite good (with moderate use), however, it could be better considering it is a 2100mAh battery. Also, after countless hours of heavy use, the back of the phone does get remarkably warm, although, I can't tell whether this is from the phone itself or the palm of my hand. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] themikea:
Mine seems to get very warm in some situations only after a minute or two of use after having it locked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] junooni.1980:
Just recently noticed that my phone drops data signals momentarily. Is this a common problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TrainAss:
Are you on Bell, Rogers or TELUS? I just got my SGS3 today, and I'm missing having root.

Nevermind, I rooted in 5min. Awesome! Now when is CM9 going to get ported to the SGS3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] timbit123:
welcome in my world :P like i post in another thread. signal drop on low lte signal. On low LTE signal. the phone is trying to go back to H+ but... of you still have Lte its trying to get this signal too... so you have a phone that constantly trying to switch LTE/H+ and you get disconnected....

only solution for now is Force H+ only when you know that you are low under lte. Otherwise, you can also try to get your sim card changed but didn't really fix the issue.

For the root part. I did mine without issue. download stock_root do what its telling to do

after you can remove Bell apps :)!!!

in the terminal

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

cd /system/app

rm Bell*

rm Remote*

rm Sympatico*

and you are good :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alerionn:
so i've searched around for this and i couldn't really find an answer but i figured out how to flash custom roms after trial and error (wifi problems and i accidentally uninstalled superuser binarieskjld;sfjakdffd) and i installed shishir ROM which is really smooth.

but, in the about me thingy it says my phone is a GT-i9000 instead of a SGH-1777 which i've found out was normal because it's based on an i9000 ROM but is there a way that i can change it back so that my computer and phone recognizes it as an SGH-1777 without changing ROMs if possible o.o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 10tonhammr:
You can change your device ID by editing the build.prop file. EDITING, not replacing. Completely swapping the build.prop would be a terrible idea.

HOWEVER, unless the i9100 ID is causing problems (it shouldn't be), I wouldn't recommend editing it just so it says "SGH-I777" when you plug the phone into your computer. Things can go terribly wrong if you change the build.prop and you don't know what you're doing. If you wanna do it, search XDA for "build.prop edit", do a lot of reading, and make a backup of the original file before you do anything. There are also "root required" apps in the market that can make tweaking the build.prop file easier and safer. Rom Toolbox for one...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alerionn:
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeugh i'm not so sure i want to do it anymore after that since it's really not causing serious problems xD so if i just kept it the way it is would i still use i777 downloads or would i have to switch to the i9100 section?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jemack:
Definitely use I777 downloads. Do not flash anything on your I777 that was built for the I9100. Just because your phone says it's an I9100 does not mean that it is. Trust me, it's still an I777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rfb813:
I have also flashed a number of I9000 Base Roms on my I777 which show up on by Car's Bluetooth as I9000. However no problems with this and the Roms are functioning well. Flash or download apks and/or other mod based on I777. No problems with this. From all I've read using I9000 can be dangerous.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
You need to read more then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 10tonhammr:
Don't flash anything from the i9100 section. Just from AT&T SGSII SGH-I777.

ooooook, i think that answers all of my questions o: thanks for all of you alls help :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
As others have stated, just leave it alone. As you gain more experience with such things, you'll feel more comfortable. In the spirit of XDA and learning, I'll share some information regarding this. Most of what I've seen uses ro.product.model for identification purposes. As stated, you can manually edit the build prop via a file explorer (personally, I prefer Root Explorer); there are also apps. Find the ro.product.model line and replace it with what is found in an i777 ROM, like the screenshot. Case and spacing are important details, so a mistake could cause a serious problem. Editing it on a PC with Notepad+ is also a viable option and it's less prone to mistakes. However, replacing the prop file manually is delicate.

Again, I don't advise going for it. I just wanted to show you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boosoth1st:
Wasn't enough for me changing the: ro.product.model

I changed the ro.product model and (a few lines below as well) it indeed changed it on my About Phone Info model number. But still I can't download "Google Wallet" because google Play thinks my phone is a GT-I9100 phone.

It may have to do with the ro.buildfingerprint=samsung.... line, which I am afraid of modifying it.

Do you know of any way of creating a new signature, so as to modify it so that it shows as an I777 phone? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Google wallet won't work anyway...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Weird. Google Play identifies mine as an i777 and I only changed ro.product.model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dschreiber69:
Might also need to clear market data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I'm unable to download Wallet as well, but it doesn't appear to be because it thinks I have a 9100. The online play store says it's incompatible, probably because of a carrier restriction (which is why it doesn't appear in the market on the device). But as Nick said, it doesn't work anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
So as all of you know att charges put the azz for data these days. Think changing that model name might confuse their network or only if imei "could" be changed would the trick work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebestbuyer:
should i buy the galaxy s3 or wait for a new mobile Note2????
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antispiral:
Umm depends on which you like?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iAvivR:
The Note II was rumored to be a monster performance and S III leave to dust, you might wait. But if you prefer a smaller screen buy the S III. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copualt3:
Thenote 2 is Still at least 5 months away; buy now and enjoy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
Note two is rumored to be in august. If you don't find 5.3 inch screen hideous then you may want to wait. Next nexus will be my next phone.

http://briefmobile.com/galaxy-note-2-coming-in-late-august
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nineofseven:
I think it is not possible to answer the question because every few month

a new generation appears.

If note 2 is released you can also ask: Note 2 or wait for Galaxy Nexus 2,

if Galaxy Nexus 2 is released you can ask: Galaxy Nexus 2 or wait for Galaxy S4 ...

The right time is never found, or buy now or never ;-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animal111:
Have to agree. There will always be something new coming out. Get the GSIII. Its an awesome device. You can always sell it if you really want the Note2 when it comes out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holyprot:
Agree .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasty:
There will always be something a bit better around the corner.

I'd recommend the GS3. Not only is the hardware very good, but because so many people have bought them, there should be plenty of pressure to support the device well, remove any minor residual bugs etc. Enjoy it now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lpuboy87:
like people said..it depends on what you prefer. The S3 4.8 screen is perfect for me..fits just nice in my pocket any bigger it wouldnt be that comfortable to carry around when I dont have my bag with me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
I will be certainly getting the Note 2 no matter what<<
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekmhma:
The key is you have to know what you like. Would the phone fit your life style. If we all said yes and you bought it because of our vote. You will blame us if you didn't like it afterwards.

If you like to switch phones around, You can always sell and trade.

Great Welcome...:)
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
Sometimes having weird stuff happening after i end a call: goes to some random contact in edit mode / dropbox app opens / etc

Tested carefully and it's not due to accidental touches around the "end call" button, it even did it once or twice without me ending the call...call ended by the other side, calling screen got closed and some contact popped out.

happens rarely, but wtf?
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Are u on custom rom???
[HTC One X] dzdimov:
I'm unrooted and I get the same things. It's like I pushed something bit I heaven't. I hope that HTC will address this issue in their next update
[HTC One X] cronus101:
The thing that pops up... is it the last thing you used or used recently?
[HTC One X] sashank:
Like cronus101 asked, if the apps that show after ending the call are the most recently used apps, then I'm guessing HTC Sense (the launcher) is crashing each time and since there's no home screen to go to, it displays the last used app. Pressing back will also cycle through the recently used. This is my guess. Try clearing data of HTC Sense in Settings-Manage apps. The best way to get rid of this is to do a factory reset and start afresh. There could be many reasons why Sense is crashing. This behaviour is typical of any launcher when it FCs. If you don't want to factory reset, you can try using a different launcher (Apex, Nova) and see if this still happens.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
latest stock rom, unrooted, relocked

it's not the last used app that comes up...it's like random or something between 2 or 3, i even got dropbox once
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
Lol today it ended up in medialink setup screen....none of the apps that pop up are in the recent list btw....
[HTC One X] sashank:
Hm, out of ideas. Factory reset should fix it once and for all.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildRyan:
So I've been following the steps outlined in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1397728

but no matter how many times I download the NV flash files, or perform the NV flash over and over again, I still am having issues. All goes well until I hit step 5 (updating to NV flash1.2) it appears that the flash takes place, and then it reboots and I get stuck looking at fuzzy looking birds. It's a bit hard to explain, but there is sort of static that is running through.

This wasn't posted in the known issues, nor was I able to locate anyone else via the search function that is having the same issues. Any ideas?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
There're too many unnecessary steps in that post. If all you want to do is to update to 1.2 (and have the latest CWM for the gTab installed), then see this post.

1. Follow the link in the "How to Install" section and use that nvflash package.

2. After the nvflash completes, power off immediately.

3. Then boot into CWM (not the stock ROM) and do a "wipe data/factory reset".

4. Transfer and install whatever 1.2 ROM you want.

This bit is puzzling. Did you drop the tablet by any chance?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildRyan:
I never dropped the tablet. The only time that it goes fuzzy like that is when I flash to a 1.2 rom. Thanks for your response. That worked perfect!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Hmm. Any fuzziness now?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Askzra:
Greetings,

Initially I wanted to post at the kernel release thread, but due to lack of 10 posts yet ( im still new ), I cant.

So my questions is easy, just need to be clarified.

1)I already flashed the kernel, it appear in the 'About phone' section. but i did not see any effect on the battery yet. Do i need to wipe anything first? Or the features of this kernel are already activated when successfully flashed?

2)If going to wipe, is this going to disturb emmc? I know MMC_CAP_ERASE is disabled, but i did not know the effect of wiping on this kernel yet.

Thanks a lot. Especially to Hardcore.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
It could be, that you overestimated the effect of having good kernel on battery, the main battery eaters, when the device is used are screen, comm/sync functions, and active apps. So, I would not recommend wiping, unless you have some malfunctioning apps. Instead, check two threads: one by Entropy512 on battery drainers (I may try to find the link latter) and betterbatterystats thread. Armed with knowledge from there, you will be able to lower you battery consumption.

And, btw, this all does not mean that there's anything wrong with speedmod kernel, it's probably one of the best for stock ROMs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mR.fR34ky:
IF you like me dont beleive the 3rd party programmers that the MMC_CAP_EREASE disabled that solve the bircking issue, you could flash abyss 4.2 then run jbdroid script (it is deleting the old kernel files wipe cache and dalvik cache) and then install the speedmod.

I simply can't beleive that mmc_cap_erase disable could solve the bricking issue until Sammy told us and they come out a solution.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RbbCHan:
sounds interesting. can s.o. confirm this?

I thought wiping cache/dalvik cache did not have any risk of bricking as long as you don't do a full wipe and/or restore of sw-bckp.

Running Speedmod K3-6

Hi,

I've just upgraded to K3-6 and currently on Kingdroid Notemania v 4.2.

Can't help but noticed that my Note gets heated up pretty easily. Plus, the battery can drop from 100% to 88% just by browsing through my Facebook and Whatsapping for less than half an hour. Previously when I'm on stock ICS running speedmod K3-3, my battery took about 10 minutes of browsing before dropping a single percent.

Any thoughts on this?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyledlindgren:
Hello All,

Got a quick question. Attempted to flash a rom update on the nook color. Flashed it, successful, and it rebooted to nothing.

No splash, no boot animation. just black - unlit screen.

I know it's doing something as it's plugged into my computer it will try to install the driver , just fail.

Any idea?

Yes I have already tried rebooting it 8 times, and used the power, volume up , Home button.

Still cant get anything. Also tried to use the power button 15 seconds. I think i gots me a brick! :(

Kyle
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
With the charging cable connected, did you try to hold both U and Power button for around 20 seconds?

Try this 2-3 times, if it doesnt work at first attempt. It should boot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
I would recommend making a clockwork boot SD card and attempt to flash something through there.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyledlindgren:
Nope

Tried this twice, then went to another version of CWM and BAM Works! Now I can continue :) Thanks!

WOOT!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
I have a Galaxy Note I717 and the screen does not seem nearly as bright when running ICS as it does with Gingerbread. Has anyone with the International Note had this problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
ok I've rooted and installed clockwork recovery as per the instructions in the how to. Still each time I go to flash a rom I get nothing but the galaxy sII logo and it hangs there indefinitely. Did I miss a step in these instructions ? I'm on EL29 baseband if that helps.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7pWjmKCsoc

those are the instructions I used. and I don't think I've missed a step. I've reverted back to stock and re rooted my phone and installed clockwork. How do I get roms to actually flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Depends, what are you trying to flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
I see the link in your video is just for rooting, but you can get into CWM? did you try the auto root EL29+CWM? Also, if you are following to Devs instructions on how to flash the ROM you should be good to go. have you tried wiping everything first or just installing it over the previous ROM? i suggest downloading Calkulin's Format All zip. flash it before you flash a ROM.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527041 its at the bottom of the 1st post.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

is this what you used for CWM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
yeah those are the things I used actually to get clockwork. It'll let me use clockwork, wipe everything install whatever but when I go to reboot to start it up it hangs at the galaxy s2 screen. I let it go for 2 hours last night. Any rom honestly would be fine at this point. I'm pretty familure with twrp,cwm,and 4ext from the evo 3d but nothing works with this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
Would the steps for flashing a rom say blazer for example be

Wipe data, dalvik, and chache.

flash zip from sd reboot? like normal or am I missing a step with another kernel or something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
it would be the same. but I use the Calkulin's Format All zip to do it for me. I know you do get a longer boot then normal because its building delvik cache but not two hours. have you tried downloading the ROM to your computer and then transfering it over to your phone? I had an issue a few days ago because of a bad download(good thing I had my nandriod). What CWM do you have? 5.0.2.7?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
yeah thats the only way I do it actually. D/l from the laptop and copy it to sd. then use calkulins to wipe everything and it still just sits.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
I just googled "flash ROM boot loop" it came up with something. What is your default launcher? Some people have had problems if they use for say go launcher or another launcher and not have one set as default. On calkulins ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
I am still on the stock rom. only thing I can do is root it with odin and and add clockwork mod with e4gtauto prog. I still have no idea whats going on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
So your on stock TW launcher?

Try flashing a different kernel. Like rogue, that is another recovery based off of CWM. That's what I use, well I use both and haven't had a problem. Another thing is get an MD5 checksum program for your laptop and check the file sum for integrity. Sorry it took me awhile to respond, finally have a day off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
I actually tried flashing one wth mobile odin that I found on the cyanogenmod page. It booted to the android text logo and that was it. so thats a step in the right direction. Should I just flash it through clockwork after I flash the rom like normal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
That's your problem. If your flashing a GB ROM you need a GB kernel. If your flashing an ICS ROM you need preferably EL26 kernel then use CWM to flash the ROM and kernel. flash the rogue kernel in the kernel repository then try flashing a GB ROM. After that then you should be good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
I appreciate the help so much dude. so When I get home I should flash the kernel through odin then boot into recovery n flash the rom n I should be good? or do I just boot into recovery n flash the rom then the kernel? sorry about so many q's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
No problem. That's what the forum is for. :) let me know how it works out for ya.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
And yes flash it through Odin and boot into recovery and flash your ROM. you can also flash the ROM in CWM and then flash the kernel right after you flash the ROM. It seems to be easier in CWM then Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
I must be an idiot or my phone doesn't wanna do it. Tried flashing the kernel and aokp a few times now and got nothing. I must be using the wrong stuff for the Job.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
Get yourself back to stock with cwm. Pick a ROM and follow the directions in the op for that specific ROM. If anything seems unclear watch one of qbking77's videos on how to install that ROM. Qb has NEVER steered me wrong.

Its what all the cool kids are using.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
That's what I've been telling him. Do you have anything else that maybe I'm forgetting? Maybe EL26 direct boot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
thats kinda what I've been doing. I got cyanogen to boot with the rogue et recovery fb27 and cm9 but market won't actually work. so I went back to stock. I actually used qbking's videos to start with and followed them and it still just hangs. This is the process I'm using.

flash kernel/recovery through odin.

calkulins wipe all

flash rom

flash gapps if needed for said rom

reboot.

I've also tried without the 1st step.

I've tried flashing the el26 kernel that everyone seems to say is safe through odin and that boots me into the recovery and I try to wipe then flash and it still does nothing. am I just flashing the wrong intitial kernel to begin with? I can't figure out why Im having this problem now since I've had multiple rooted phones in the past with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
But now I'm back on stock gingerbread again completely just rooted and then the did the e4gtauto to get a recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
just went back to stock again and ignored the e4gtauto and flashed el26 from odin and then mijjz ics and it's been at the galaxy sII screen for 20 mins now. That's not normal correct?

::Edit::

After trying to flash that I rebooted to recovery and it's now the acs 5.0.2.7 recovery so something is happening at least..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
No thats not normal. .I'm not trying to be a jerk but I would suggest reading and rereading any/all of the stickies and info for the rom you're trying to flash before moving forward, ie so you know the procedure forwards and backwards, including any common problems you might encounter before flashing anything... otherwise you may end up with a very expensive paperweight
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poorboy8u:
Nah you're not a jerk. I have no idea what's going on. I've been reading the gs2 section for a few days now and Cant figure out why it just doesn't want to flash anything but cyanogen. And when it does it won't flash gapps right. Tempted to just give up until the source code is leaked.
