[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sluzbenik:
Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm not sure it was doing it after I first installed it, but I haven't really used the app much. I was playing with it today though, and went into car mode to try the voice activation. After that, whenever I played a station, it starts vibrating along with the sound! I can turn the sound all the way down to 0 and it continues to vibrate the phone.

I put in a support request, but this has me flummoxed. I turned off vibration in Settings, and rebooted, but it's still doing it. Very weird.

Just purchased the battery above! My very first Seido. Hope everything goes well but based on the reviews it should do exactly what I want and need it to do! Can anyone give me any input on best practices once I get my battery in? I did rush delivery and it should be here tomorrow.

1) I've read a couple people saying it reads 100% all day and some people say it reads perfectly find (battery is at 50% and the indicator on the phone actually says 50% too). How do I get it to read the battery correctly?

2) Also, should I charge it once I receive it first or should I put it in the phone and drain it all the way first then start charging?

3) Does the battery have that auto off charging thing that turns off charging when it reaches full? Or do you have to baby sit it and your phone when it's charging and unplug it from the charger manually to stop the charging from ruining the battery?

4) Is the battery actually fully charged once your phone says 100% or do you have to charge a couple hours after that still?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] anomy13:
I have one.

- youll want to properly calibrate your battery. Mine came with about 40% to start with. Just use it normally to drain it first then fully charge up to 100%. When you reach it youll want to charge it an extra 2 hours or so. Also dont forget to wipe battery stats and pull it out for 30 seconds before use.

- it took me about 6-7 charges to get it going at its full potential.

- try to avoid charging in the middle of battery use to 0%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] syypher:
Thanks man.

Ok I received it and I was able to drain it from what it read as "40%" and brought it down to 0% dead with a bunch of indoor GPS, pandora playing, all radios on, and max brightness and screen on in about 3 hours.

I'm letting it charge now to 100%, going to let it charge an additional 2 hours after that and then "wipe battery stats."

[Q] Does this mean go into recovery and do the wipe battery stats option in there after it hits 100% + 2 hours?

[Q] What does it mean pull it out for 30s before use? Does this mean wipe battery stats -> then take the battery out of the phone for 30s -> put the battery back in -> turn it on? Is that the right order?

If someone could answer soon that'd be awesome. It's charging right now and I want to make sure to get this down right the first time :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jaythaovadose:
Id say your good with the drain and recharge plus the extra 2 hr.some may say battery stats are a myth.I look at devs roms and none if there instructions include reset battery stats if I helped hit thanks...good luck with your battery I hope it helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] anomy13:
Charge it to 100% + extra 2 hours then go to recovery and wipe battery stats. After that turn ur phone off pull out the battery out for 30 sec. Then put it back in and proceed with normal use. Then as I said before try to avoid charging in the middle to its way to 0%. And repeat.

The myth about battery stats was regarding a different matter. When i did not calibrate my battery for a long time I noticed that it decreased total life by 10%. So it is imperative that u do it at least time to time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] syypher:
Been doing it and im VERY happy with this battery. I actually do not mind at all the "bulk" that the battery + cover brings to the phone, I prefer it! It makes the phone less slippery and a much better feel in my hand!

I ordered the case + clip holder from Seido as well and can't wait to get those in.

First test: (I never charged it the entire day)

3 hours of GPS

heavy browsing

music playing every once in a while

pandora

max brightness

no juicedefender, but i did use SetCPU to underclock the CPU when the battery got too hot (which never happened)

Lasted from 7am to 6pm. That is an INSANE amount of time considering all the unnecessary stuff I was doing with it! This battery is amazing! :)

I'm going through a "regular" day of usage today instead of trying purposefully to drain it. It's been off the charger since 7am and its sitting at 72%. Satisfied! :highfive:

Blown away right now, with how well 5.1 is running with the 07162012 Nightly CM9. Never had this much success with battery before!

Can't post screenie yet, but will add once I am allowed to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ivizoid:
I just flashed CM9 Nightly 07162012 yesterday and the battery life has been amazing.

I work at AT&T Corporate Store so I use it at work.

-A few calls

-Texting

-Pandora

-Metal Slug 3

-Facebook

-Instagram

So basically my daily usage and within those 23 hours it also includes me downloading all my apps and syncing my information on to it.

*Oh, I also have the same battery. That's why I posted this on here.*

Hi guys,

I'm on YAKJU 4.0.4. , stock + rooted and I'm forcing the 4.1 OTA update via "google.framework method"

I receive the update every time, it downloads 4.1 firmware then I click reinstall , and after reboot the green android appear and later a red triangle with en exclamation point in the middle.

Later the phone reboots itself and after reboot I'm back on 4.0.4

Any idea what's wrong ? Please help !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donniestarko:
You might have better luck posting in the Q&A Forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garycoleman:
you need to restore to stock. i had the dead android witth red triangle too until I restored it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afma_afma:
reflash the stock factory images and then try upgrading.

I had an issue when i did the same method to upgrade to 4.0.4. My phone would download and then when it tried installing it would get stuck at google logo. I reflashed the stock recovery and then i was able to go past the google logo screen.

So reflash factory image and then try upgrading you should be fine...good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinoc:
Hi mate,

Thanks for reply. I did a factory reset and tried again but I've encountered the same issue.

What method did you use to return to stock ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tojonegi:
Fixable.

I had the same issue. Its probably because your phone is rooted.

Checkout, I descibed it in my question http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770815

Anyway, to solve it use Gnex Toolkit and 'Flash Google Factory Stock Rom'.. use the yakju 4.0.4, and download it from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju

Note: This will erase ALL your data and will unroot your phone. Your phone will be stock as out of the box. After this continue with the update and you'll be good to go ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinoc:
Thanks a lot guys!

I've reflashed the stock image and managed to do the update successfully, now I'm on 4.1.1 :)

I wanted to take a second to apologize about my inflammatory remarks about HTC yesterday. It was more for a laugh than anything else but we all dont have the same "sense" of humor lol. I decided that since I wasn't satisfied that it was my own choice and decided to purchase a Nexus from swappa and keep my Rez to switch back and forth. So really my apologies and like I said im not getting rid of the Rez so ill still be around. Thanks guys.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ElBeaner:
Ok so this is what I have been doing to my phones for a while now to stop scratches. Even a case can cause minor scratches/scuffs after time.

I'll get pics of the process later this evening(didn't think about it last night)

Just to note this is COMPLETELY reversbile is you do not like it(see below for removal info)

1) Head to your local Home Depot store.

2) Pick up a SPRAY can of a product called PlastiDip (located in the paint isle) - I recommend the black color

3) Next, take some newspaper (or anything to help catch overspray) and lay out on the ground/table (I recommend you do this outside or a WELL ventilated area)

4) Now remove the battery cover from your phone and lay down Logo side up.

5) Shake up your PlastiDip can very well(per instructions on can) and spray an area AWAY from your cover to get an idea of the spray pattern.

6) Now, cover the back cover in stages. Do a light coat of PlastiDip, then give it a few min, then another layer, then a third layer(each layer should be a light coat). Wait about 10-15 min after the 3rd coat and pick up the cover and inspect it to make sure you got all the corners/sides/top/bottom properly. If not, do another light coat(focusing on those areas you need to)

7) Now let it dry for ~30min - 1hour(at this point you can bring back inside)

8) Now put back on the phone and enjoy the new rugged rubberized back plate that will stand up to slight abuse(it can still peel is you manhandle it)

Now if you don't like it, just remove the back cover, and start at 1 corner and slowly peel the coating off. If is snaps, just lightly rub back with your finger to remove. Comes off clean and easy since it is just a spray rubber.

People have been using PlastiDip to cover all sorts of items, from tools, to car emblems, to even ENTIRE CARS!!!

Or u can buy an xtremeguard full body cover for like $3 or $4 and install just the back like I did. ;)

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RikF:
Interesting idea. I like the idea of the clear coat. Could you comment on the thickness of the coating? I'm using an Infuse car dock at the moment which rules out a case, but this might be the solution...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] KryptosXLayer2:
And real tuners have been laughing for years at ricers like this! PlastiDip was meant for putting new grips on hand-tools, ricers have taken it to an entire new and awful level....

Paint > Rubber

you get what you pay for

if you really want protection on your phone, either put on a full body protector or just buy a new back cover, I bought a nice looking carbon fiber skinned one without any carrier branding on it for $15 shipped!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rault18:
With plastidip you still fit in a case but it gets peeled off..

With clear coat only a few tpu cases fit.. Most cases are not going to fit unless ur rocking a bumper
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ElBeaner:
It really is not that thick of a coating. You can lay it on heavy if you choose,but 3 light coats is really all you need.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bagbug:
please tell me how !
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ElBeaner:
You back cover is still in contact with the inside of the case which can still scratch the back cover.

I have yet to see an item that holds up with plastidip on it. the stuff should be only allowed for sale if you live in a trailer park :) For anyone thats trying it on your phone.... if you have any left, spray it on your bare feet too. You could have awesome custom fit plasticdip shoes then to match your phone back.

Google 3m Di-noc or 3m 1080 if you want to put something on it that actual holds up and works.

I just asked a question...you clowned! LoL

I know...just the one's who deserve it. Should I pencil you in?

:highfive:

I couldn't imagine doing this to my phone, but if it floats your boat......The thing that really worries me about it is the fact that it's easily peeled off so it just seems that as much money as it takes to make this happen, the time, the effort, for something lacking durability considering most of us are putting the phone in and out of our pockets often, among other things that can cause wear and tear on it. It would definitely be unique, but money better spent would be on an full body skin from XtremeGuard since their so cheap right now and preserve the beauty of the phone. But that's just my opinion.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] maazali:
This rubber, what colour will it be? Black? Would it be possible to get a back cover that is of similar material as the HTC One X's material. I really don't like the glossy finish, ruberized would be so much better.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Biker1:
Just received the Galaxy S3 in Blue.

I came across this post just now. Coming from the Samsung Epic 4G Touch, I gotta say it's black cover was pretty good. The texture didn't matter much regarding grip, but it didn't get scuffed up or anything. And it was thicker than the S3's.

The S3's cover looks like it may look like crap after a short while.

I'll ponder your idea, but I do like the Pebble Blue.

The Shiny, smooth factor may be ok asthetically, But it's usability/functionality in real life may be lacking. Time will tell, unless there are those who have had theirs for over a month and obviously know for sure.

[YOUTUBE]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIxjmuwmaoQ

the thing is: I can't clear the data, for this app or for some other apps too... It's stuck on Computing...

I hope the picture would help you guys identify the problem, any help would be appreciated guys.

Many thanks,

how long is it stuck for? should show the clear data button after a few seconds. try force closing the app or maybe a reboot.

It's stuck forever, I waited and waited for more than 15 minutes on the same page without going out, and it's still computing.

I even restarted the phone, took away the battery and inserted it again but the same thing happened.

Really don't know what to do..

UPDATE: It worked for me, didn't know what I did exactly. I removed big apps (Currents) and restarted the phone so many time until I got it, then got the 4.1 update easily.

Hi, I came from the Motorola bravo and now I have the x10a. I noticed things are a lot different here from there. I want to install a custom Rom but keep my bootloader locked. Is that possible? And also what Rom would you recommend for stability and speed? How do you overlook on the stock Rom? Sorry for all the questions, xperia is so much different from Motorola so I want to make sure my phone doesnt get bricked.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitefang3456:
Hello and welcome to x10 xda. Yes, you can flash locked bootloader ROMs as long as you updated latest 2.3.3official GB from sony pc companion, to get compatible baseband for most roms. Then, get your 2.3.3 rooted and installed xrecovery. Last is, download you desired ROM.zip and updates. Remember visit their thread and follow instruction properly.

If you are newcomer for rooting x10/flashing, you may visit my signature link for pdf guides. Although older version, but more stable and reliable and higher success to failure ratio.

For recommending awesome and smooth Roms for locked bootloader, try donutHD 2.2.8jelly bean. Its the best now for locked and unlocked bootloader. I got link too in my signature.
