[NFC Hacking] droid_does:
are they both running Jelly bean? Native android beam for photos don't work unless you're on jelly bean.......

or unless you have "S Beam" on both phones.
[NFC Hacking] byrds8:
Maybe that is what it is. I do not believe her S2 Skyrocket has S Beam on it. I don't recall seeing it. I couldn't do MP3s on it either.
[NFC Hacking] Nizda1:
When you hear the beep/buzz whatnot. Are you letting it kind of shrink on the screen and then tapping?
[NFC Hacking] byrds8:
Yes I was letting it shrink and then it doesn't transfer anything at all. Maybe its because the S2 only seems to have Android beam and the S3 seems to have both S Beam and Android Beam. Who knows. Its sad there wasnt just a standard that will transfer what we want with this. Nothing I did would get my S3 to send a pic or mp3 over NFC. Granted my S3 will send at least an App just fine to the Nexus 7
[NFC Hacking] droid_does:
S Beam and the TWiz enhancements seem to break some Android beam functionality.

If you're running a TWiz ROM (my mum's S3) and attempt to transfer a photo from her phone to my GNexus (both running jelly bean) it'll think that the TWiz gallery app is a play store app and open the play store on my device. I can however send my photos from my phone to her SGS3.
[NFC Hacking] hguerr01:
Does anyone know of a way to get s beam on the i727? Is it possible?
[NFC Hacking] talk2anuj:
I am using SGS2 SGH-I777 running JB 4.1.2 SuperNexus Build5-20121017 ROM.

I am trying to transfer stuff using NFC from an ATT SGS3. I am able to share apps (such as google maps) but file transfer is not working. When i bring them back to back with a picture open in GS2, the photo shrinks and i hear a beep on S3. When i click on the shrunk photo, it shrinks even more, but the S3 goes to app store and says "app not found".

I believe this is because S3 uses S-Beam to transfer files, and this feature is not there in S2 (even on custom ROMs !!). Does anyone know of a workaround ?

[NFC Hacking] AndroidCanavari:
So we can't use NFC in I9100XXLS6 since there is no NFC chip, right?

I9100XXLS6 belongs to I9100 family not I9100P, right?
[NFC Hacking] Nizda1:
Yea, I have both also. Sbeam uses wifi direct to transfer files much faster while regular android beam uses bluetooth. If you have JB on your s3 you should have both. So even though you can use beam on both devices you still can transfer files in the same manner as an s3 to s3.
[NFC Hacking] mrdreamers:
How csn we tell if our s2 has the nfc hardware??
[NFC Hacking] Redsandro:
Here's the battery from my original i9100:

Here is my Samsung i9100 battery replacement I bought, same model number:

First thing I notice: Holds less charge than my original battery, which after two years is so bad that I wanted a new one, hoping it would last an entire day. Is this a fake battery? (Dutch supplier says it's official Samsung battery. I didn't get it on Ebay.)

Second thing: It has no inscription on the metal body underneath the label.

Third: It has a frickin NFC antenna! Does the SGS2 i9100 support NFC with this battery? Or is it only taking away valuable battery cell space, making the battery last shorter? And why, if it is not supported?
[NFC Hacking] Product F(RED):
There's one variant of the i9100 that supports NFC, and that's the i9100P. It looks and acts the same, except that on the inside, there is an NFC chip on the motherboard. It's a variant of the i9100, probably a revision.

If you don't have an i9100P, it won't work because the antenna and the chip are two different things. Yes, you have an i9100P battery, which has the antenna. But there is no NFC chip for it to talk to inside of your i9100.

This chip is only in the i9100P:
[NFC Hacking] ZombieCake:
Exactly what he said, couldn't have put it better myself.
[NFC Hacking] Redsandro:
Thanks for the infos!

The batteries (from 3 different shops) don't last as long as the 2 year old original battery though.

One shop advised me to 'calibrate' the battery using a weird process:

1. Put battery in phone, charge 8 hours

2. Detach charger

3. Turn phone off

4. Attach charger, charge for hour

5. Detach charger

6. Turn phone on, wait 3 minutes

7. Turn phone off

8. Attach charger, charge for hour

9. Detach charger, reboot.

Battery calibrated.

Is this bull? Haven't tried, because it takes longer than 10 seconds and it sounds stupid.

-edit- Oh shoot now I realize the response wasn't in the battery topic.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I'm suffering from poor battery life on my S3 - worse than my S2 with the same set of user-installed apps. I suspect that it's because I tend to leave wifi switched on. Could someone provide guidance on a power-efficient way of managing wifi?

I want to receive notifications of incoming emails, and would like this to be done via wifi wherever possible. I have wifi both at home and at work. If I'm away from home and work ideally I don't want the phone to hunt for wifi signals.

Can anyone recommend the best way of achieving the above in the most power-efficient way?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That's true.

However it's the same for all wiieless data connectionsz sensing across frequencies costs more battery than keeping a connection alive.

I'd recommend JuiceDefender Beta since it can manage all data connections and additronally automatically toggle 3g/2g upon requirement.

The app's cost of a few bucks is in no relation to the worth of a longer-living battery on your 600USD phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Please use the code tags when copy-pasting content, since it will format the content in easier-to-read format and prevent the forum from inserting smilies.

Your issue seems to be:

Poor Signal (): 3 h 4 m 31 s (11071 s) Ratio: 92.4%

That will, of course, drain the battery pretty fast since the Amplifier needs to run at maximum capacity to reach the antenna. If you have better signal on the S2 and use a case on the S3 try removing it (temporarely)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
Presumably it's the wifi signal that's weak, not the GSM signal?

I don't use a case with the S3, and it was sat on my desk all morning 10 feet from the wifi router, so I don't understand why the signal would have been weak :0(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bcn_nospam:
Hi all,

I've been hanging in the International Note forums as I have a GT-N7000... I love it!! And running ParanoidAndroid it's awesome!!

Anyways, I will be moving to the US (San Francisco) next month and I have a few questions for my fellow Note'rs:

-Will I be able to use my International Note in the US with at least 3G speeds and/or HSDPA speeds?

- Is there a carrier that will let me use my phone and give me cheaper prices?

- For new voice+data plans, can I get unlimited for cheap somewhere with good coverage?

Any other topics or gotcha's you can think of will be appreciated!

See you soon !!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You can use Straight Talk unlimited voice text data $45 US. Its monthly, and you buy refill cards.

Your phone supports the AT&T frequencies. You will get at least 3g. But you can go to their site to see a map to verify that.

You will have to purchase the sim card ahead of time, as not many stores sell the sim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cdromo90:
yup, straight talk sim, as stated above. and you could always throw me that international version and take my U.S version and get 1/2/3/4G LOL. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
BTW, there is no such thing as an Unlimited GSM/HSPA data plan in the USA. Voice, yes, SMS/MMS, yes, mobile data, no.

Straight Talk say their data is unlimited but they cut you off after 2GB/mo. Although I have read that ST will turn it back on it you call them up and profess to not using the data for file downloading, running a server or business using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bcn_nospam:
Thanks, Straight Talk sounds like a good fit...

Is the quality good? Or at least as good as the competitors'?

>they cut you off after 2GB/mo

Do you mean that they throttle speed down or do they cut it off and no more data is flowing?

To give you an idea, I am on Vodafone Spain at the moment (living in Spain heheh:) and my plan is €120 per month (=approx. $150 per month), I get 1000 minutes in the day, 1000 minutes nights and weekends, and 1 GB of data.

So Straight Talk will be a good bargain!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
The latter. go over 2GB and no data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bcn_nospam:
Wow that's radical...

Here with Vodafone when I go above 1GB of data they I go into "Best Effort" mode when I cannot be guaranteed the speed of the connection, it can be HSDPA, it can be 3G... or it can be GPRS...

But I'll have a connection...

But again it costs an arm and a leg!!

So Straight Talk seems like the best deal...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
If you don't mind...trade your International Note for an unlocked AT&T and get Tmobile monthly 4G for $30 and get 5GB's of 4G data. After 5GB they throttle you. Still way better and cheaper than Straight Talk's plan. But you will be on Tmobile's Network...but i heard Tmobile speeds are pretty fast in the bay area. If you use your current International note on Tmo's network you'd only get 2G coverage...not the biz. Good luck on relocating!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Hello guys!!! After just receiving my amazing SGS2 i began flashing ROMs like a maniac just like any other of my phones xD and i was beginning to greatly fall deeply in love with both CM9 and AOKP but one thing which just really got under my skin was the DPI issues. Well ive done a bunch of research and i believe if you follow my steps all issues will be gone :)

Firstly, DO NOT SET DPI TO 160!!!!!!!

You must use a DPI of 161 or higher. I use 162.

Why? Well its cause anything lower and ICS thinks the phone is actually a tablet. Which is where a lot of the issues lie. But anyhow to the fix! :D

Easiest and permanent fix:

MARKET FIX

1. Download LCD Density Modder Pro from the market.

2. Set your desired DPI level

3. Click "Save as system DPI" allow device to reboot.

4. Once rebooted open up LCD Density Modder Pro again

5. Click "Fix Market Compatibility Issues"

6. Download both Modded play store AND GSF apk

7. Follow instructions....

8. Install both mods.

9. After a reboot everything should be working grand :D

PHONE FORCE CLOSE FIX

1. Simply visit ME:) and follow that thread to fix the phone. I used the latest phone.apk and have no issues :)

****VERY IMPORTANT FINAL STEP****

REBOOT TO RECOVERY, SELECT ADVANCED, SELECT FIX PERMISSIONS, REBOOT SYSTEM :) and enjoy!

Fix without LCD Modder Pro (For those who are cheap xD)

1. Change DPI using LCD Modder or editing build.prop

2. Download "hacked" market from attachment (I just googled this from when i had my HD2)

3. Using a root explorer or adb, navigate to /system/app and check to see what your market name is (Mine was Phonesky.apk) not sure if its universal though.

4. Rename attached file to whatever your market file is if not already Phonesky.apk

5. DELETE old Phonesky.apk

6. Copy the attached file to the /system/app directory

7. Reboot to recovery, and once again FIX PERMISSIONS (See above for a how to)

Well both methods work swell for me :) Its just the second method doesnt stick forever, and after awhile you must go into "Apps" setting and Clear the market cache. I guess there is something with the GSF mod that makes it stick. Not sure. But everything is working for me now and im a happy camper! :D

Any issues, feel free to post in here or PM me :) thanks all for looking! AND OF COURSE! HIT THANKS TO ANYONE WHO HELPS YOU! :)

If I do decide to unlock my boot loader, could we dual boot roms?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
Not as of now though it *may* come though I doubt it seeing how not many other tablets have dual boot features either. One way to simulate it is to just set up a ROM then back it up in recovery and then wipe and set up a new ROM and then backing that one as well. Then restore the one you feel like using. Sure it takes ages for backups to restore but it works for now.

does anybody know some patch to disable USB charging? i dont like messing like that with my battery, i like charge it to 100% and then discharge to 0% every time, but oftem i need to copy some files from cell to comp... and i must plug in cable and charge battery for few minutes... help? thx.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] madhouses:
Sory i dont answes your question but i really must ask why from 100 to 0. Afaik i even worse discharge this type of battery to 0. You can even broke it. Just charge when you need and life time be same.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LowSky:
Draining to zero is bad for newer batteries. And charging them for only a few moments is fine. All newer phone also have smart chips so when they reach 100% the stop charging usually letting the device bounce to 95 and back up.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gandhar:
actually, it does not drain to the zero.. just a minimum value. if it were to drain to zero it would never charge again.

i'm talking basic chemistry here. not sure about the exact Li-ion batteries.

@OP, my old sony phone, you could shut it from the service menu you get after clicking a set of combination of the keys..

there must be a similar combination for the new ones. i am on cm9 so i cannot check.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kriomag:
battery has its own electronics and it never go below safe limit, and charging from 0-100 is good for my battery as far i can tell from service menu where actual measured capacity is shown, normal is 1500, when i charge whenever i like, plugin and plug out several times a day capacity drops even to 1400, when i charge and discharge 0-100 100-0 capacity comes back to 1500 :)

i had xperia arc before and after 9 months battery was like new, sometimes it dropped to 1425 but after few full zero zero full cycles it was back to 1500 :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kriomag:
there is not im afraid, i remember this functionality from older sony ericsson phones, thats why i asked about a patch for newer ones :)

And when mobile turn off and you give him recharge too late, like after you come from out you can really broke it. This already happen on my old se batery. And still i dont se any cool reason to do it when lifetime battery is practicaly same as i read on many same about li-pol li-ion battery. Anyway if there is no other way to disable charging, you can also use something like airdroid and copy files via wifi

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
What's bad in that kind of charging? Nothing.

There is no memory effect on our phones' batteries. They do not lose their capacity like this at all. I do not know, how/what you did, but this is not correct.

You could go to Google and search for Li-Ion and Li-Po type battery myths and reality(facts). You will find lots of useful information.

[HTC Wildfire S] SDeba:
Hi guys,

My girlfriend just bought HTC Wildfire S. Unfortunately sometimes there is huge lag when unlocking the phone or answering a call. In other words the screen doesn't react to finger input for 2-3 seconds, then it unlocks/answers. It is very annoying. As I'm totally out of topic in development on Wildfire S, I am asking you to help me. Did someone had similar problem? I was thinking about changing a kernel or flashing a ROM to fix this issue, but I totally don't know what to choose in terms of stability and Sense interface.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
It occurs due to the load our old processor take due to sense......... You can try a sense kernel or try an AOSP rom like CM7
[HTC Wildfire S] SDeba:
Just what I thought. Any kernels worth trying? :)
[HTC Wildfire S] sukhjit321:
If you are using a sense ROM I recommend Dust kernel or Cake kernel. People prefer cake one more because of stability.

And If you are thinking of going for CM7 speed mod kernel is good.

had the same problem after i updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5:crying:

if the phone is new i will suggest not to root it..(coz u need to use it for atleast a few months 2 make sure that the one u got is a stable and long lasting one:pjust 2 be sure)

there is a new ota update available now 4 wfs...try it out as it may sort out the problem..(i cannot as i am rooted & too lazy to unroot it again;))

also u can try using 'advanced task killer/memory booster' or any other and customize it to kill running apps at a specific intervals to free up ram and speed up the system..(this may solve the problem in most cases)

also try not to fill up the internal memory:silly:(yeah its too less)..and clean up the cache every now and then(easy cache cleaner etc)

these were the few simple,non-root and 'may solve ur problem' solutions..but if u want a 'definitely will solve ur problem' solution then root ur device and flash a kernel that supports overclocking:fingers-crossed:

If you're currently on a custom ROM, then you probably just need to tweak your CPU settings. I've given this advice to dozens of folks and they all said it worked for the symptoms you're describing.

If you're not a custom ROM, then you really should be. ;)

Once you can tweak your CPU settings, set it to something like 600/768 (min/max) with the Smartassv2 governor and noop scheduler. I publicly guarantee you that your screen lag will go away (assuming you're not flooding your internal RAM by loading all kinds of useless **** into it ;))

Suerte,
[HTC Wildfire S] EdikNeznanov:
Try another governor, try a perfamance governor first. Because when phone is in sleep mode for battery saving it slows down CPU and i think those 2-3 seconds is the time when cpu speed up till 600 MHz. On perfomance governor is always on max freq, but don't use it always because phone will use energy fast. If it helps that means this 2-3 sec lag you can solve with trying different governores. if helped press thanks and sorry for my bad english
