I seem to have acquired two personal dictionaries, with my custom words shared between the two.

If I use the 'touch again to save' method, the word appears in the 'English (United Kingdom)' dictionary, otherwise it appears in the 'English' one.

Anyone else notice this, or have an idea whether it's a feature/bug?

I've got the same problem after installing Google keyboard. I've been using Swype for some time thus I hadn't payed much attention.

No matter what I try now, the system wants to put every new word I add into the "English" dictionary where they used to go into the "English (united states)" dictionary.

Hey guys, it has been a week since i have owned the HTC One V, and i love it so far! (Virgin Mobile Version)

There is a problem that i have noticed in the past 3 days and its that the battery will not charge past 73/72%. I do not have any apps running, and i have even tried turning the device off and charging. Does anyone know what i should do?

Thanks guys!
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
First of all, is it rooted? If yes, what rom do you have? You have custom recovery?

If not try this. Charge the phone and when the green led is on power off the device and leave it to charge for another 1 hour.
[HTC One V] Relgozen:
No it is not rooted. The problem is that the green light never appears because it doesn't fully charge.
[HTC One V] Lloir:
Nvm
[HTC One V] Relgozen:
Will do. I have never let the battery drain completely. Do you think that can be a reason why it's not charging. Thanks
[HTC One V] Lloir:
Yes, quite likely, kill the battery then off mode charge it over night
[HTC One V] dgemmer:
Same problem

I had the same problem with one week old VM One V. Charged to 80% and no more. Discharged (auto turned off at 10%) and it charged to 100 one time. Then charged only to 84%. Discharged again, went down to 6% before shutting down. After a couple more cycles, including unplugging after "full" charge to 84%, then replugging and getting to 100%, finally two days in a row woke up to a green light and 100% from a 20-30% level at bed time. Only issue now seems to be two widgets show different battery levels, e.g. 63% on battery monitor widget pro, 53% on Elixer pro battery widget. The icon at the top looks more like 60%.

Not rooted, waiting a while. Love the phone, wish it were dual core, but runs as well as my Droid X and much better battery life. Nice design and feel.
[HTC One V] Lloir:
have you resolved your issue Relgozen??
[HTC One V] Relgozen:
Yes your advice was very helpful. Should I continue to charge my device only when the battery dies?

Thanks again
[HTC One V] Lloir:
if you dont need it fully charged everyday then yes, but i wont say never charge when you only have x amount of battery, because my phone goes on charge @85% sometimes :p
[HTC One V] Relgozen:
Ok thank you
[HTC One V] Relgozen:
So now that the problem went away I was not afraid to root my phone. Now, my battery is saying it has been on 97% for four hours. It is rooted. Any help? Thanks

Hey guys,

I want to return my Kindle Fire as its charging port has gone lose. There is some amount of "play" in the charging port and it charges only when I push the charger all the way up. And if the wire is moved even slightly during charging process, it stops charging.

Hence, I want to claim the warranty and return my KF however the problem is I have rooted it some time back. And I have heard, amazon treats it as violation of warranty.

Under these circumstances, can someone please help me how to get around this to be able the claim the warranty? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks!!

I just performed the reset to stock as detailed above. However I do not have enough battery power to do a reset of the SD card. I manually wiped the files with a file explorer app and Im just going to kill the battery before I send it back. The charging port is broken so they would have to repair it before the could check it. I doubt they will go through this much trouble considering the charging port is a widespread problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CodeMyster003:
So I bought a Droid Razr on ebay without a sim card then bought a Verizon sim card off of ebay. It's unactivated and has absolutely no hacks on it. I've been trying to bypass the activation with the 4 corners trick and it just isn't working. I want to flash this onto PagePlus but I won't be able to if I can't get past the activation screen. The system version of the phone is 6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US . Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dellenrules:
I don't understand why you just don't skip it.

If you take out the sim card and skip those options, you can set it all up later.

I did that with razrs before to transfer my files over, in both gingerbread and ics. I use one as wifi only and it isn't registered with verizon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CodeMyster003:
yeah i tried that but it just says A SIM card is needed to operate this phone and there is no option to skip that
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CodeMyster003:
anyone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
On the ICS builds for all the recent models they removed the setup wizard bypass option in order to force you to use a VZW SIM to activate the device.

This was done because there is no SIM lock on the device like there normally would be for GSM/Global capable phones.

The solution is to root the device and then edit the build.prop file to replace the missing line.

"ro.setupwizard.enable_bypass=1"

That line should be put under the ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES section at the bottom of the file with the other radio and carrier properties.

This can be done with ADB after the phone is rooted by pulling the file, editing on PC and then remounting the system r/w and pushing it back to the phone.

Always be sure to set the permissions to rw-r--r--(644) after replacing the file or your phone will not boot.

If you are unfamiliar with ADB then you will have to use a VZW SIM to activate the device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CodeMyster003:
You sir are awesome thanks!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CodeMyster003:
i pulled the build.prop add the line, but when i go to push it i do

adb remount

it say remount failed: operation not permitted,

when i do

adb shell

su a

db remount

it says error:device offline

so does anyone know what lines i should use in adb?

i would appreciate the help thanks :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kapilthio:
I tried rooting the phone. "data" is read only for Bionic @ 232 leak.

Rooted the phone using Motofail. Modified Build.prop, But wrote wrong build.prop and did factory reset. Hence stuck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CodeMyster003:
does no one else have any help?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Sorry, I work weekends and haven't been back here to respond.

Assuming you are rooted on .211 and have pulled the build.prop file and edited it properly, then you would copy it to the root of the /sdcard directory.

Now open a command prompt and run the following commands:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system (note space between /null and /system)

mv /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.bak

cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop

chmod 644 /system/build.prop

reboot

When the phone reboots you should now be able to use the normal setup activation bypass of touching the 4 corners of the screen clockwise from top left.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dave8311:
Or, start the activation process and hit the HOME button

Or, you can edit the build.prop file on the phone with Root Explorer
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CodeMyster003:
i may have screwed something up :( i did what you said and it didnt work i did it again and now it wont go past the dual core technology screen :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sidswami:
Bypassed the activation !

May be this is reported by someone earlier but I did not find any when I searched, hence posting.

I flashed the ICS and couldn't bypass activation screen. I live in India and could not get hold of a Verizon sim to activate. I tried with an Indian CDMA sim (Reliance) but couldn't pass through. After searching on the net on how bypass, I came across the edit build.prop file method and found it complex.

Hence I just wanted to try my luck on activation by slipping in a GSM sim (Vodafone India). Boom it said unsupported sim and went into the home screen. Then I removed the GSM sim and slipped in the CDMA and there was no trouble.

Hope it helps someone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ICIcon:
I'm trying to switch from VZW to ST SIM.

I have a Motorola Droid RAZR XT912, Android ver 4.1.2.

The 4 corner ICS bypass does not work. When I found your post, I thought my problems were solved.

I rooted the phone. I pulled build.prop file from /system. I cut-and-pasted [ro.setupwizard.enable_bypass=1] just after [ro.setupwizard.mode=OPTIONAL] in the ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES section. I remounted /system as rw and pushed the updated build.prop file. Verified the permissions as 644 and owner:group were root:root. I issued a factory reset/data wipe.

Reboots went as expected but setup wizard still started. Did I do something wrong? Is there anything else I can do? Please help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eazyigz:
Where is the build.prop file located?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nemeblist:

i don't think you have to do 4 corners with kitkat.

tap activate, then pull down notification bar, and swipe away activation.

Hi!

Because of the low memory issue in the International edition, I request for all Kernel Dev's that implement the possibility of the use of Swap file.

There are programs that make and use this Swap file to get more free RAM, but this programs needs that the Kernel support it.

What Low memory issue??? We have 1GB of RAM (almost) on the device! Everything works smooth on the phone!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepstriker:
maybe he wanna say that free memories are from 2xx~3xx mb only, which is actually less than S2 even S3 also has 1GB ram.

If the files can increase more free ram, it would be good for some heavy games and softwares to run more smoothly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eitama:
Wrong forum, but indeed I agree.

It's virtually impossible to run 2 heavy programs at once. One of them will always close when it's in the background, even if it implements a Service.

For example, Waze - It closes whenever I receive a phone call.

Just annoying. Problems I never had on S II

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Swap will make the phone lag terribly since the ssd writing/reading speeds are far inferior to what you neel for normal operations.

It also makes sure the internal/external storage will not live very long.

While it's a good idea to combat memory issues, paging to disk is not suitable for normal situations.

Haha we have not needed swap since the days of the HTC hero
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akirax:
Swap file to internal SD: max speed 26MB/s I think there is not a problem, but I prefer more memory. And I tell that implement the function and optional you can enable it, if you don't want you don't need to enable.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Can I ask you why you think you have low memory?

please select one of the following:

1) Phone going so slow it takes age to do anything I ask

2) Apps keep getting killed mid-use

3) I have looked at the numbers and they look low....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akirax:
I can't choose any option. I want to explain:

-I open Internet Browser and open a Web with many videos, photos, etc, and browser closes itself.

-Open 1 game (NOVA3 for example), then put it on background to see a Web Page or check email... or open the Web browser, open 3 Webs then go to email to check, then go again to browser and all is closed, the phone needs to open all Webs again (in this case is your first option).

I think that you prefer a UNIX computer with 256MB of RAM than a UNIX computer with 16GB of RAM because you optimize the 256MB of RAM. I prefer waste memory (really don't waste it) because I want to RUN many programs at the same time.

Sorry for my very bad english, because I can't explain exactly what I want.

I'm SYSADMIN and I know what I say.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I understand where your coming from but I think you have failed to understand the purpose of multi-tasking on a phone (and the reason that not many phones have more than 1gb of ram yet).

Multi-tasking on a phone is designed to let you go from webpage to sms, or music to email etc, i.e. between smaller, less hungry apps.

Switching between a high ram usage game and other things is always going to be a problem, the phone was never designed to allow you to multi-task while gaming.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akirax:
I know that this is a phone, not a Core I7 - 16GB RAM - SSD with Windows 7 Ultimate, but, Did you have a SGS2? with SGS2 you can make what you want and you don't have this problems off memory.

I said an example of a Web page with a lot of videos and photos that make Browser closed., not only with Games.

This is Why I want to try the Swap file. Off course if the phone goes slow down I'll prefer no Swap file, but I think that is a good idea.

Perhaps with a new firmware update Samsung solve this issue...

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Have you ever had your Windows computer have to heavily page to disk (aka swap)? Even with my OCZ Vertex4 it's unbearable.

Just get rid of all the background apps (such as AllShare) that the S3 has running and you should be better off, it got rid of any hint of memory underrun I my had.

Get Houmiak TaskManager from market, find out which apps are running and freeze them in Titanium Backup. Problem solved
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eitama:
You are wrong.

This is my 4th Android phone.

Multitasking between several Applications which implement the Service Android Class should be possible without any of the services being killed.

I don't care about the Activity. I care about the service.

Example :

I run Torque & Waze at the same time and tend to skip between them.

If I receive an incoming call, they are both killed because of low memory.

How do I know? when I go back to either of them, the state is not kept, and waze even complains about not being stopped correctly.

Believe me I removed ANY resident useless services, uninstall about 30 system apps from wanam lite using titanium pro, and still, no good.

These things used to work on older phones like SGSII and Galaxy Note and even SGS I with stock samsung roms.

There is no reason SGS III should suffer regression in this department.

It is very easy to understand that while samsung have added plenty of "Cool" features to the phone, they have left us with an overwhelming amount of garbage. I want smart stay, I want usb OTG, I want the camera app, I want Touchwiz dialer and I want HDMI,

But not at the expense of basic use-cases.

Hell, on the Galaxy Note I was sometimes shocked at the amount of Activities left in the ram, I was impressed. Having 10 apps running in task manager. And no, I never closed them. I don't used task killers, and I don't care about "Free" ram.

I care about my Applications life cycle which sadly sucks on SGS III.

BTW, Galaxy Note had the same screen resolution give or take as the SGS III.

Something is terribly under optimized.

600MB used just by core crap.

PS. I am angry at samsung, not at you, apologies if I sound harsh.

It's also aggravating when posters here instantly assume other posters only care about Free ram. HERE - TAKE MY FREE RAM.

About the swap to sdcard, I'm not sure that is the solution.

But I am sure we need "A" solution.

Edit:

If anyone knows how I can understand exactly which process/app/apk/activiy/service is taking how much, I would happily compare it to Galaxy Note. I'm sure we will find basic applications taking too much.

If it's the GPU reserving too much memory, I am willing to settle for less GPU ram while not running games. Hell, the Galaxy Note was not that slower then SGS III

It even preserved me a lot of time which I now waste on Navigating multiple times with waze when it is closed because of a phone call.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 131313:
Don't know if this has anything to with it as I haven't received my S3 yet. With the HTCOneX I had this problem as well. Then I found out, that in the

"settings".

in the "development section"

"Don't keep activities" which is unticked by default. One has to tick it ( I went on recent apps to make sure it would be saved) and then untick it again. Afterwards the HTC1X was quite cabable of multitasking. The default setting seems to have some hybrid impact and has to be set straight by hand.

Hopefully this helps your issue.

I just got the vivid after unsuccessful jaunt with ICS on the international galaxy note.

I wouldnt even need to root or anything Im already ten times happier with the vivid. So glad im back to an htc device :) Anyhow I have already rooted it im still s-on and its all stock. I haven't flashed anything

So I searched for gb roms and all i can find is holicakes, Is that the only rom avail? I dont think i want to update to ics as i read voice dialer isn't supported for it. And since I got a sour taste for it on my note im kinda ehh no. Also I cant get the ota update anyway it searches and comes back with nothing. But Im thinking I will have to update eventually so if you think thats a better option than using an outdated (not getting updates either rom) then i guess so be it. Thoughts?

Thanks!
