I really don't care about extreme heat or cold test, nor water test.. but that drop test... too bad she didn't show how the body of the phone hold up. Is the grey ring around the phone strong enough to resist scratches and impacts too?

Hello All,

im running a 2.3.6 rom , but i would like to run an ics rom. my question is, do i have to go back to stock and update or can i just flash the ics rom? any help would be great, thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
you can flash an ICS ROM. Just make sure you first flash a compatible modem, and do a complete wipe using darkside wipe and darkside cache wipe. Dont restore data either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] born2gethard:
Just flash it bub . Do a good wipe

Hi Forum. I need help. I rooted my phone before using motofail and the ICS is now available in my country.but the update failed/ and I verified that I need to unroot my phone first. I unrooted my﻿ xt910 via SuperSU/OTArootkeeper. looks like it works coz I no longer have the superuser on my phone. and ota rootkeeper/apps says that my phone is unrooted. but the ICS update still failed// I dont know what to do now. my current system version: 65.1.40.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en*.03

don't know much about asia razrs but sounds like you need to rsd back to stock then take the update,then root,you will find all the info here on xda,i had the same problem a while back trying to update from 171 to 181,i used mattelgrofs droid razr utility to get back to bone stock,then took the ota,rooted ect.then when ics came out i hid root took ota ,went great.i'm not sure if droid razr utility will work on your phone but rsd will,good luck

I don't know if this will let me post a link yet, but the "Literally Fool Proof Guide To Installing .211 (ICS)" (Google that) was the guide that got the update installed for me. It involved wiping the phone, but it's worth it since I had the time to go through my Titanium backups, etc. Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1692694

EDIT: BTW, I had to get Version 1.7 of Matt's DroidRAZRUtility to re-root after installing ICS 4.0.4 (i.e. the .211 update). Version 1.6 didn't root it. I did not need the "Modified" version 1.6, though; did the fastboot flashing with Matt's 1.6-final. I also had to install updated Motorola drivers (came with DroidRAZRUtility1.7forICS.zip) to reroot.

If you just want to listen music you can set the airplane mode on, that will add many, many hours.

Last year on holiday i turned on the airplane mode. I was able to get about 25 hours of music on half the battery.

I'am not sure but i think i had at that time the stock rom installed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I lose 2-3% per hr listening to music & with minimal other usage/screen on time. Someone who works in audio commented in the Siyah discussion thread the other day that the lower the bitrate, the more juice it will use. Obviously the longer you listen to music the more pronounced this increased drain will be.

If you're doing other things with the phone (particularly with screen on/CPU intensive stuff) while you're listening to music, then obviously your drain is going to be a lot higher than listening with screen off mostly.

If you're serious about wanting to squeeze more zzzzs out while listening to music, there are hundreds of threads (thousands ?) about maximising battery life, obviously everyone's phone is setup/used differently, but if you really want to do something about it the info is here for you to do that. You just have to take the time to search/read/learn/experiment with settings.

Hard case vs. Soft case

All of them are hard cases

These are the things that I can compare before I purchase a case. I'm more into Case Mate Barely there because I had a good experience from my old phone, but I'm into Ultra Thin Air as well because of the price. I haven't made decision yet, but you can simply reply your reviews on any of cases above, or use it when you need to choose one of them. :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
you left a very popular one out around here that's cheaper than all of those... the Rock case. added grip over those as well. and it comes in at least 4 diff colors that i know of...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Randomacts:
These cases won't help you from a fall..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
very true. but some of us never drop phones. i'm one of those people :)

i typically look for a case that will at least protect the backside of the phone. anything else is just extra.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
haha mee too! I never drop my phone and my phone needs to be slim! I know hard cases never give much protection, but the reason i'm using them is that they feel nice just like touching my phone naked. Some people might just care more about the design while xda people are more interested in protection! :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
+1 mrvirginia

My vote goes to the ROCK quicksand!

I purchased the dark grey and light grey and they feel great. Zero bulk added
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Randomacts:
Ah yes you never "drop your phone" when you are thinking about it.. but then when you do with that thin case and if it lands wrong your screwed.

I've got the Rearth Slim Lite on mine, and it's been working great. Thin enough, and a good "soft" grip feel to the back. And if offers the corner protection I like - the only drops I ever had with my SGSII were when it slipped out of my pocket and hit on a corner...hasn't happened yet :). And it fits on both the Samsung dock and the cheaper dock I got on Amazon with the case on - BONUS!

For 10 bucks you can beat this. Looks very much the same as SPIGEN SGP only with some texture

For those of you with skinny jeans it will be perfect LOL. On the real I will recommend this to anybody who is Not clumsy or have toddler at home because I think the case will only protect from mild drops but will not survive a toddler attack. Hope that helps.

+1 to Rock. IMO the best slim case for S3...best bang for the buck and looks good also.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pinoymutt:
+1 - I've got the red one and it's pretty decent. I went through a ton of cases on my Captivate and my SGS II before (most recent was the Incipio Feather) and this bad boy holds up just as well. Mine came with a screen protector as well - and the most important thing is it came in red, which a lot of vendors seem allergic to (although they have a ton of pastels for some damn reason....).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eduardmc:
This is the thinnest case i've seen. just ordered it, i know it will not prevent damage from a fall but i have never drop my phone (i know it will happen eventually). i care more about scratches. I tried the full body xtremeguard and was disapointed since the edges in the back were like cutting knife to my fingers. Also the xtremeguard screen protector was a let down since it creat a rainbow like pixel and take away screen clarity.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlczl:
WRONG
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BlackDino:
my girlfriend dropped her phone about 3-4 feet onto tile floor.

Barely there case actually saved smashing the screen
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rEVOLVE:
If you don't care about drop protection and just about scratches to the back, why not just order and keep a battery back cover replacement handy to swap in when it gets scratched? ANY case is going to add some minor thickness since it's overlaying the actual back cover, but if you just swap the back cover then you have a new look w/o the added case thickness.

My only problem is the phones I've had always seem to get worn the most on the outside edges. So I just got a replacement back and looking for a bumper-like attachment to protect the outside edges of the phone and maybe give a small lip so the screen is elevated when the phone is placed/lands face down.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnadke:
Or the Diztronic TPU Matte Clear Case.

Slim, semi-clear to show off the whites/blues and logos.

It makes a lip around the camera and screen to prevent scratches while still being thin.

Best of all, it's only $10.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] falconeight:
You can't lose with any of those it's all a matter of taste. The rearth covers more of the bottom and top. The rock case looks like the coating on my grandmas outdoor flower pots and has zero customer support.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xceebeex:
Nice, I really like the looks of those cases. I might have to give one of them a try when they are released.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] t3chn0s1s:
I have the Incipio feather (in turquois) and I like it... it's nice and light and has a nice matte feel to it. I also have the Case-Mate Barely There in white and it's OK... it's got a glossy finish so it gathers fingerprints quicly . I ordered the SGP Ultra Thin Air so I'm waiting on that... I'm a MAJOR case whore. But, here's my issue... I just DON'T drop my phones either but IF for some reason I did I'd want FULL BODY protection... So I usually like to use a Diztronic TPU or I also have an Incipio NGP (like TPU) case that protects all the edges... but unlike the Incipio NGP - the Diztronic lifts up the edges of my Zagg HD which drives me nuts. So I've been experimenting with different screen protectors even though I never put my phone in a pocket with keys or coins... but, I just like to be extra careful. I'm constantly buying and selling phones on eBay or XDA and I like to keep them in MINT condition for resale purposes. Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] d.cortez:
ditto... got the dark and light grey versions. makes it easier for me to grip, covers up the pebble blue color (sorry, i'm not a big fan of that color) and adds minimal bulk. another plus compared to the case-mate barely there version is it's much easier (for me) to use the power and volume buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lynseyw:
I have several of the case mate cases. I like it. I had the rearth on my galaxy nexus and it was soooo hard to get off, and it began to crack in the corners from taking off the case. So far case-mate has been great.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thin Cases

Obviously thin cases are for people who rarely drop the case or for people who just want the very basics of protection. They are not for those who drop their phones all the time or work in a place where the phone can get damaged.

These are very popular cases though and I have the Rearth on my Galaxy Nexus.

My company DBA Cases will be releasing our version towards the end of the month for the SG 3. I'll let you know or post some pictures once we get close.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Heylookitsbret:
I had the feather for my nexus, dropped it a few times, of course the exposed chin got a little damage nothing bad though. I dropped my s3 with the feather on it(maybe 2 feet above the ground) and it definitely doesn't stop cracks :( going to have to give sprint a call tomorrow..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] erikiksaz:
I currently have the Rearth Slim Lite and I love it. Super slim. And it actually wraps around the four edges of the phone, providing about a 0.5mm-ish buffer between it and whatever surface you lay it on.

I had the barely there case for my nexus one in the past, and it didn't roll over the front edge of the phone. It might be different for the GS3s, but whenever I dropped my phone in the barely there case it would eject my phone.

On the other hand, the slim lite fits SNUG. It is kind of a PITA to remove, it snaps in very securely.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SamsungVibrant:
I wish these cases protected the top and bottom bezel, they seem to leave it open
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lagoona2003:
I have the Rearth case and I would have to say that I REALLY enjoy it. It does a fairly good job adding protection. The best thing about it though is really the fact that it makes the S3 not so damn slippery.

However, the worst thing about it is the fact that if it hits something that isn't flat (like the edge of a table), then it can easily be damaged by the non-covered areas. The phone is basically completely protected against falls on flat surfaces and has enough lip on the front to not have the glass touching anything when laid face down. Again though, if it fell on a jagged or rough surface than the case could have problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] long_tall_texan:
OK. I do this all the time on my Win PC. I am just not savvy enough in android/terminal to know how to do this. Is it possible to copy everything on the internal phone memory /sdcard to a sub-folder on my 32 GB microSD card /sdcard2. Ideally, I would like to do something like using robocopy /sdcard /sdcard2/sdcard /mir on a pc. But have it done straight from my phone rather than manually in sync mode via USB. And in addition, it would be really nice to only copy new/modified files. Oh, and one last request... Can it be set to run automatically every night while I sleep?

I figure this should be a simple task for one of you devs, or maybe there is already an app that does this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
There may be a app for what you are asking. Search the market, for maybe some sort of automated back-up program.

After thinking about this, I guess it would not be ADB commands, it would be Linux shell / Busybox commands.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] debarron:
Here's a script I wrote to backup the DCIM folder from /sdcard to /sdcard2. If you want to copy the entire /sdcard, then you can change the DCIM after find to "." (w/o quotes) and change the destination (what's after -pdm) to just /sdcard2. This will copy anything that doesn't exist or is newer than the destination. The last two lines you can delete (du commands) as they just give the directory size of those two folders.

#!/system/bin/sh

( cd /sdcard ; find DCIM -depth -print | cpio -pdm /sdcard2/DCIM/.backup )

du -sk /sdcard/DCIM

du -sk /sdcard2/DCIM/.backup/DCIM

Hi guys im new with this device(HTC Sensation Z710e) so i have some doubts. This is what i have done:

*Unlock Bootloader with Revolutionary. I got S-OFF

*CWM Recovery Installed.

*Rooted device.

Now, my phone is xtremely bad in benchs... about 800 in Quadrant and some more little issues.

So, what more do i need to do if i want to install a custom rom?

Pd: I have read some about the radio and CID but i dont know if i have to set supercid to install a custom or if it is only for Ruu´s

Pd2:How do i upgrade to ICS? My phone is still on GB.

Thankyou all.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Updating to super CID will make flashing firmware much easier.

Radio gets updated with the firmware.

To get ICS you need to update your firmware.

Look HERE

Quadrants are not the best way of judging the speed of a ROM

:)
[HTC Sensation] luis4ever:
Can i apply Super CID if my HBOOT is 1.17.1111?
[HTC Sensation] luis4ever:
Thanks man
[HTC Sensation] luis4ever:
Now i'm super CID'ed what is the next step to flash a ROM? I don't want ICS yet because some importants apps for me doesn't work with ICS. Or what do you recommend? Also, i have installed CWM but can i install 4ext? And now i'm S-OFF can i flash kernels without Flash GUI, Fastboot commands or smartflash right? Just go to recovery flash Rom or kernel and go?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

ARHD 3.6.13 is HERE

I am not sure if 4EXT is installed with.

If not go HERE

Yes,s-off is your ticket to flash anything you want(kernel,radio,)

:)
[HTC Sensation] luis4ever:
So, with S-OFF with Revo, CWM Installed, Rooted and SuperCID'ed can i flash ARHD 3.6.13? Is this a GB Rom?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes and yes.

:)
[HTC Sensation] luis4ever:
Thanks. Last question... Since this is a GB Rom i don't need to Flash a different Firmware or radio right? Just download, copy to SD, reboot to recovery, flash and ready?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

In theory,yes.

I haven't done GB in a while.

You might want to SUPERWIPE before you flash the ROM.

This will clean your phone of any previous ROM.

Hope you've backed up your important stuff.

:D
[HTC Sensation] luis4ever:
In theory, Hmmm... However, i will make a Nandroid Backup and if something goes wrong i will Restore and that´s all right?

When I said "in theory" I was joking. :p

You should be fine.

Nandroid is essential though,whenever you make

[General Questions and Answers] ratm4n:
Hello,

I was searching the forums, but didn't find anything about this tablet...

Recently I have bought a

broken

Tablet: Leader Tab R70

CPU: Rockchip 2818A 600MHz

RAM memory: 256MB

ROM memory: 2GB

Screen: 7' 800x480 (WVGA)

OS: Android 2.1 Eclair .

I was hoping I would be able to revive it, but it seems it's not that simple.

The tablet turns on, I can see the droid icon on the left top side of the screen, and then a sign saying "Android_", and that's it.

When I plug it to the PC nothing happens, the PC doesn't see the tablet (I have tried it on two Windows 7 x64 machines), though it seems it does get the charge, as it turns on (same thing on both USB ports). Since the PC won't see it I am unable to flash it by RKAndroidBatchUpgrade (or anything else)

Is there any other way (like by booting a ROM/flash image from SD card) to flash it? Is there a hardware way? (I was able to open the case, didn't find anything magical inside). Is there a way to reset it? Is there a CM somewhere capable of running on this tablet?

I'd appreciate ANY help
