[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Success100:
ping just like all other speed ratings are influenced by many diff things. Signal speed, amount of traffic, the list goes on.

also keep in mind that when you look up specs for a specific type of technology, whether it be 3g, LTE, Wimax, whatever it may be, that the listed speeds are THEORETICAL.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tajimura:
Bought a new 8GB Kingston class 4 sdcard, put it into the phone, partitioned, reflashed the Rom, rebooted... voila! Phone says there's no sdcard. In recovery it's all right, but after booting the rom there's no sdcard, and under Settings->Memory it just asks me to insert sdcard. Help pls, anyone.

BTW, device is PVT1 AMOLED running BCM RC4.1U2, and it was just fine with my previous card (4GB Sandisk).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
Did you do correct partitioning? FAT32 needs to be the first partition and ext4 the second. I had similar problems once, and it was because of that. If that's all done correct, try if you can read it in a card reader.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tajimura:
Mate, it's not the first sdcard in my life :-) FAT32 first, ext4 second. Repartitioned about ten times, tried fat32+ext4 and fat32 only. No go. The card can be read through recovery (usb storage) and with card reader. Also, it perfectly works on Nokia phone (6300 if i remember correctly).

Could my problem be Rom related?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vai1018:
I have a Fascinate that no longer connects to USB. It's a physical port problem. My company had a spare, so I've been able to swap it out and restore all of my apps/data to the other Fascinate, and I'm back up and running on AOKP M6. I'd like to try to get what is now 'the new spare' (the one with the bad USB port) back to the latest stock build.

Sooooo.....

I can't connect the phone to a PC with USB to get into Odin. If I could, I would have had it reverted in a couple of minutes. To be fair, if I could, I wouldn't have actually needed to swap the phone in the first place. :p I've searched as much as I can, and haven't been able to find if there's a way to flash through recovery from an MTD-based ROM back to stock EH03. Anyone know if this is even possible?

And to cover any of the 'are you sure the USB port is bad' questions, the phone was tested, along with 2 other Fascinates, side-by-side on the same ROM version, with 7 different USB cables (3 official 'Samsung' cables) and 4 different computers. The other two connected fine in both mass storage mode while booted into the ROM and in download mode on each of the PC's and with each cable. This particular one would not detect no matter what. Strange thing is, it charges just fine.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelby04861:
I think you might be pooched and have to jiggle it or whatever to see if you can get it to take, although you have most likely tried that. If you have to return the phone back to them and you don't want them to know you flashed the rims, you might just boot loop the phone so it only shows the Samsung logo and then they might not be able to find out.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vai1018:
Actually, boot looping is my "point of no return". And yes, I even tried holding the USB cable halfway in while facing a northeasterly direction and simultaneously having a medieval wizard cast enchantments on it, still didn't work. I had high hopes, too.

Same problem here (i'm a newbie by the way)

I read that unrooting makes it able to delete all the unwanted embedded apps that motorola added (motoblur, 7 digital, ...)

First rooted the device (moto defy +) with easyroot that installs the superuser app to.

Next I tried out the superuser app but it only has a empty list. So no apps are blocked or allowed?! So whats the point of using the superuser app if your not able to what rooting the device suppose to do (removing ambedded app's).

Then tried out rootexplorer and it work just fine (many thanks for the tip about R/O & R/W!! i needed it!)!

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] skazord:
Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I've been lurking around for a while, I hope I'm not messing up anywhere.

So, I have this problem with my Gio. Yesterday, I decided to try and install CyanogenMod 9. It is the first time I tried to install a rom on my phone, and I read everything carefully, to avoid doing anything stupid. I had rooted my phone before, it was rather easy, since I'm not a computer illeterate, although it is my first smartphone, and I was never into this kind of things.

Well, carrying on to my problem: So, I was reading Maclaw's thread on Cyanogenmod 9, and after reading it, I started following his tutorial.

I installed Clockworkmod v2 from recovery mode, everything went smoothly and I rebooted my phone. I then tried to install the Cyanogenmod 9, but I couldn't get back to the recovery mode for some reason. Everytime I tried to boot it, it would just boot the phone, and show the "Samsung" thing it shows up at the start, and stay there.

I tried googling around for people with this issue, but found nothing. I then tried to look for issues related to CWM, and found out that it requires my phone to be at least in 2.3.3, but mine is at the stock version 2.2.1... I had no knowledge of this before I tried it, and now I'm kinda stuck. My phone still works, I can do everything with it if I boot it normally, nothing seems to be broken, apart from recovery mode not loading.

Anyone else has had this or heard of someone having this?

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] maxseemo:
I purchased and use a 5 meter one for data transfer but they're not meant for charging. It will do it but super slow while the phone is not been accessed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jobics:
Bought 5 pieces of the 3 meter cable - all different colours. It's okay for charging since I usually leave it connected overnight. I haven't used it for data transfer. The wire seems to be a bit thinner than the stock cable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] max400:
the safe length of usb cables is 5M before it starts to drop off.

Only way to extend that is use an active repeater cable to get 5m more.

Apart from that you can only convert to rj45 network cabling for max 100m runs.

You will be safe usually with good quality cables up to 5M(16ft3in) overall length before you willneed the repeaters.

The length is reduced drastically if you use cheap quality cables.

Since I both don't use TouchWiz as my launcher or ever use the default gallery app, I never noticed that before. From some initial poking around I can't see any settings for this. It's quite an odd choice for Samsung to make IMO.

You can of course switch both your launcher and gallery app to get back to scrolling wallpapers. I personally love Apex Pro, and I use QuickPic exclusively on my phones. It's a far faster and smoither, and IMO better equipped gallery app.

QuickPic is free in the market, and you can get the free version of Apex as well. Nova is another great launcher for ICS if you are not a fan of Apex.

[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
Got a question. I have had the most recent leak (3.14.605.10) for a couple of weeks now and I have tried several recent ROMs. One thing I have noticed is that my battery life has taken a dive recently. When I checked the battery stats this morning, I had gone down to 78% in 2 hours. I checked the apps open and display had only been used for 3 minutes. The main culprit is Google Maps. Apparently it is running in the background, even though it doesn't show in task manager. This had just happened within the last few days. When I first loaded the leak, and first started trying new ROMs out, I did not have this problem and had great battery life.

Is there any reason for this? I did a reboot of the phone and it seems to start up by itself. I force stopped it and I'm waiting to see if that improves battery life. I have seen other people mention that this was an issue, but nothing more than that. Does any know more about this? Is there a fix to keep Maps closed until I need to use it?
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
I had a similar issue for a little while, the main way I was able to shut it down is by turning off the location settings. Facebook and a couple of apps while updating use the GPS on the phone (I have no idea why) but that might give you the results you are looking for.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Try disabling the Verizon Location Services under Settings, Location. I believe that's what is firing up the particular Maps process eating up the battery.

I just saw the same thing on mine today, battery was down to 33% after 5 1/2 hours, Maps used 23% of it.

I disabled that setting, rebooted by phone and have not seen Maps fire back up after a few hours.

Hi,

I have been reading up alot recently about rooting and flashing my phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray) as currently my carrier (O2) is not releasing ICS for updates as they have not "tested" it sufficiently on my particular device (this was there explanation to me via email).

I have looked on the official sony ericsson website trying to find a way to update my phone and found that the method there required my phone to have an unlocked bootlader but unfortunatly my phone has a locked bootloader (im assuming due to it being locked to O2 although it is a pay as you go model).

I have read conflicting opinions on whether you can root and flash your phone in my situation and was just wondering (before i tried anything at all) whether someone could clarify if it would be possible to update my phone to ICS.

For reference this is my phones status:

Rooting Status:

Bootloader unlock allowed: No

When you follow the Link Tutorial you have at the end Root and ICS on your Ray, without unlocking your bootloader (unlocking bootloader causes probably in lost your warranty!)

You need unlocking Bootloader for new Kernel and/or some Custom Rom´s, but there are some rom´s for locked bootloader.

Don´t forget to save your build.prop in /system befor you do something from the guide! With original build.prop you can flash your phone to O2 original software when there are something to repair in service center.
