I would if it was easy to do, the problem I have with my Photon though has to do with the hardware buttons, the lock button and the volume one keeps clicking whenever it feels like, or even stops working at all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
I posted similar thing while back and had several people inform me that Sprint doesn't care and will work on/replace rooted/unlocked devices. Now take this with a grain of salt.. Personally I did anyways as its just flash a SBF and your good to go.
[HTC One X] Kyoraki:
Has anybody else had this problem? Everytime the phone reboots, loads of apps break completely, and the only way to fix this is either by moving the app to the storage and back, or by restoring a titanium backup and praying the data is restored

It's a wholly tedious and not a nice thing to do every time you need to rebbot the device. Is there a solution to the problem? I'm using the stock 4.0.3 Rom supplied by Orange, and unlocked and rooted using the htcdev method.
[HTC One X] freakzone:
Hi, something has gone wrong, you'll need to wipe, re-flash etc
[HTC One X] Kyoraki:
Huh, kinda unusual for a huge carrier like Orange to ship phones with problems that can only be fixed by re-flashing. Probably some meddling on their part that's made it unstable. I'll wipe/flash the normal stock 4.0.3 ROM, and see if that helps.
[HTC One X] freakzone:
Three shipped me an HTC Desire and the gmail app crashed every single time with the stock rom. If you wish you can bring it to orange and they will sort it out for you. I assumed you were looking for a different type of solution.

yes and no.

Yes if u download mobile odin(donate version) from chainfire and flash the rom file using it(while your still rooted) as it can allow for root to be applied while rom flashing.

No if u remove root then flash official rom ;)

Hey,

Just flashed the OTA 4.1 image to my galaxy nexus, and had a quick question. When I enable the GPS, the traditional icon doesn't show up at the top status bar. However, when opening maps, it shows up. When closing maps, it goes off again?

Is this some new thing?

In ICS, if it was on, it was on. Permanently.

Normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Its been like that... =] even in ICS

-Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KurioHonoo:
If your GPS was on permanently then something was wrong, when you enable GPS on any version of Android it only turns on when needed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
You did something that kept the GPS turned on in ics.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The GPS icon only shows up when something's using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
It shouldn't be there all the time no matter what version of android you are using.

Some apps were using GPS all the time when you were using ICS, which is NOT normal

It's normal.
[General Questions and Answers] Kram28:
It seems like after the RAZR MAXX future phones would all be sporting 3000+ man batteries! But since then I've yet to see any phone match that, they're not even hitting 2000 mah. Especially since a lot of phones don't have removable backs anymore, I would think a large stock battery would be even more important..
[General Questions and Answers] Ojive:
I don't get it either. It's not like power drain is going down with the new phones, on the countrary I'd believe. In a perfect world we'd have smartphones with battery life equal to old 3210 Nokias. That'd be awesome. Charging phone every night is a habbit, but it should be a crisis if you forget to charge one night.
[General Questions and Answers] Kram28:
Agreed! I'm a little spoiled because I have an extended battery for my bionic, but still I feel that you shouldn't need to by an accessory just to have decent battery life..it should come stock :-\
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -josh-:
Is it possible to use the sd card with fspe? Because when I try to load an iso I can't find it.

And if not what the hell am I supposed to do? Put my psx roms on my internal memory what a joke.

What's the point of a quad phone if it doesn't have enough storage to hold the big bad ass games it should be running.

I am now getting put off games because they require large downloads and that shouldn't be the case.

Is this something I could fix with a custom Rom?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
First off - that's an app-related issues. Many developers seem to think the location of the external SD is universally the same just because their phone(s) have it that way. Many phones use /mnt/<FOLDER> for external SD and not the old cumbersome format (/mnt)/sdcard/external_sd

If you're rooted, it's easy to solve, just use the free APK "Directory Bind".

For it to work, create a folder named 'external_sd' on your internal SDcard, then bind-mount the /mnt/extSdCard on /mnt/sdcard/external_sd.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -josh-:
Thanks for your quick reply.

If I understand what your saying, will that make my external sd show up as a folder on my internal sd?

If so can I then install games and apps on my external sd?

Sorry I'm pretty dense lol

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Just keep pressing up until you see a list of USB drives and select extSdCard and click on there to find your Roms.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Yes.

I assumed the app wouldn't let him go higher up than /mnt/sdcard. Some do that which is quite stupid.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Maybe if he's running an older version but the last few versions at least can find external and any USB drive.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -josh-:
Well I only bought it yesterday off Google play so I am assuming I got the newest version. And no it doesn't let me go any higher.

I'm gonna check out what version it is.

Edit: version 0.11.29 and when I search for bios or iso it does start at system but only shows the internal sd card not the external one

Edit 2: yeah it's in the mnt folders lol, I was tired at the time

to be fair, my gf's verizon GS3 is ridiculously efficient. granted she was on wifi most of the day and doesn't use internet as much, but she was at 53% with 13 hours and 2 hours 14 min of screen time.

my att on the other hand, wifi off and on LTE, was at 53% with 6 hours and 2 hours of screen time.

How is the LTE signal in your area, if its not strong and swapping back and forth from 3g to LTE all day it can take a huge toll on your battery.

Mine seems to be doing great. The signal isn't that great in my house either. This is more real time use as I was asleep for a while. But when I woke up at 10am this morning it was at 92. I've been using it moderately ever since. I get about 8 hours with ridiculous use(4+hr screen on time).

Never on wifi.

Edit: I realize its kind of a bad example since it was in standby more than awake. But I'm getting great battery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arkard1:
I had the same problem as you did. What made a significant change for me was changing amount of apps to keep running at 4 instead of default. Also I found the xda app runs in the background, continues to drain the battery. I have to manually kill the xda app every time I exit it. For today I'm at 12 hour running, and screen on 1.5hrs and 59 percent battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:

I've been getting worse battery on wifi than 4g for some reason. I also noticed my idle power usage is around 115mA, where on my thunderbolt it was around 20mA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ptaros:
Ditto on the xda app, it was burning up cpu cycles while in the background, enough to make my phone warm. So I just close it every time I'm done using it.

Woh how are you getting your current draw? The apps that I've tried won't support the s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
I have the Verizon model of the S3 as well. I have had it for over a week now because I was an early pre-order so I got it really early. For the first few days I was getting really bad battery life. I would maybe only get 8 - 9 hours with moderate usage, that being about 2 hours of screen time. I would play no games, and just browse the web and text. I am a big texter though, but on my DINC as long as I had mobile data switched off I could get plenty of life out of my phone. With this phone for some reason after about 70 percent, mine will start to drain much faster regardless of what I am using it for, even if the screen is is off. Just to test it I left all the radios on while the phone was at 100 percent over night, and the next morning it was at 96. The next day I tried the same test when my phone was at 50 percent battery, and when I woke up it was at 10 :( . I don't really understand what is going on here either. I keep seeing all of the reviews for the device even the Verizon version to point towards great battery life, but I am just not seeing it. Maybe rooting and a re-flashing the stock rom plus removing bloatware will help. I also got another battery just to see if that was the problem, but it doesn't seem to be. I'm hoping this is just a software issue, because I don't know why some can get such great battery and some can't. I would also hate to have to get a replacement phone.

The interesting thing is, a co-worker got his yesterday and is getting mediocre battery life. He unplugged his at 7:30am and has been catching up to me all day and isn't doing anything with his (data off, wifi on, not streaming anything, only syncing personal/corporate email).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExodusC:
My battery life is pretty good.

After two hours of screen-on, browsing the web over LTE, I had pulled something like 25%-30% of my battery, which is MUCH better than my previous phones. They never got anywhere near that kind of screen-on time... and this was over LTE.

Admittedly, that was on 0% brightness, as it was dark while I was browsing, but still.

My only battery drain issues are that my standby battery life is pretty bad. Cell standby chewed up a good chunk of my battery sitting completely idle for 8 hours.

[HTC Rezound] Virodeath:
Posting this because I am not 100% sure what may have gone wrong.

I bought this HTC Rezound from a friend who had already rooted the phone which made no dif. to me as I wasn't using any root features. Today I noticed the screen didn't want to shut it's self off so I rebooted the phone. Now it comes up to the HTC screen, flashes off a second and comes back up to that screen again and will not pass.

When I boot into ClockworkMod it says at the bottom of the screen

E:can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I do not want to brick the phone, just wish to get up and running (even if need to restore to factory)

Can anyone point me in a direction to what may be the issue?

Thanks in advance,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krolla03:
I've looked everywhere for an explanation on this and can't find it. Maybe you guys can help me.

Most of my songs have their respected album art but some do not. For some reason Google play picks a random cover for almost all of the songs that don't. In my case it picked a nickel back cover.

How do I make the so gs that do not have a cover just have the default blank cover that Google has?

EDIT:

Ok so under closer inspection. Songs with ACTUAL "Unknown" album show the Google unknown album cover.

But some songs with actual cover art in iTunes (where my Google Music syncs) has a cover art but the same song in Google Play has a ****ty Nickel Back cover instead. I attacted 2 pictures showing an example.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imreezm:
Serves you right for listening to Nickelback :p

Cover art download from iTunes store (not embedded) won't be copied to your phone. Only covers that you add manually are carried over. At least that's the case with me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Go to music.google.com and login to your acct

Then when you go to albums or the thing you want to change click the drop down by the picture for the album and select "Edit Album Info" and you can upload a pic you want to use for it. You will then want to sync your Google Play Music thru accounts. Added a pic hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fungo45:
I've got the same issue, though it defaults to a Daughtry album cover. As much as I hate Nickelback, I think I'd prefer to have that as my default cover instead of Daughtry. Before you all give me crap, I don't have one Daughtry song on my phone, so I have no idea how or why Google decided to use that as my default album cover. And I don't use iTunes either, so I'm totally confused by the whole thing.

Anyone know how to switch the default album cover art to something else? I can't find the image file on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandemonic:
Had similar issues now fixed, first of all i converted all music to mp3 format, on my laptop using a free mp3 converter i found via google search, uploaded them onto my gnex then downloaded 'cover art downloader' from playstore and payed the miniscule donate fee for full options.

Donate version has extra option to embed album art into mp3's (hence mp3 conversion), auto search for missing covers, any it cant find you can manually find using app, all covers are embedded into songs as they are downloaded.

After doing this go into settings-app settings and clear cache and data from google music (btw this will wipe playlists) then reboot phone. When rebooted open google music and it will reload all music with correct covers in place.

The advantage of doing it this way is your art stays with your music hereafter.

Donate version also has auto cover search option for newly added music. Good luck:D
