[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fruitycups:
Hey guys,

Wanted to get a sure answer.

Whats the safest way to restore back to the stock firmware fro CM10 (or any rom in general).

There are two answers that i seem to have come across.

Answer 1:

Just download the stock firmware. Extract tar. Load onto PDA, check auto reset the flash reset and then start. Boom done! Everything reverts to stock, modem, firmware, kernel, etc.

Answer 2:

YOU MUST first flash stock kernel. So flash that first via odin then open odin again and flash the rom. If you don't flash the stock kernel first and then just flash the stock firmware, you'll have some issues.

As you can see, both are a bit contradicting. Whats the right method?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Docavelli:
You missed one.

Make a nandroid of your stock ROM. then once you're done checking out CM or whatever else, just restore that. A lot less headache.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] blue265:
Yep, nandroid is much much faster. In fact I went to lunch today and restored my CM10 nandroid to show a friend. 10 minutes later I was back to my Samsung ROM. Its much easier than flashing stock, then re-rooting, then loading all your apps and data back on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ExodusC:
I had heard that nandroid restores between stock/CM9/CM10 were causing bugs, or something of the sort.

If it really is working that easily, I might have to give these CM9/CM10 builds a try. I just didn't want to play around with it for a bit and then be forced to set up my stock configuration all again, because I do have a need for a certain level of stability.

Edit: Ah, I was thinking of our Verizon version however. I think it might require an Odin flash back to stock, then you can restore a stock nandroid backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Docavelli:
While I can't guarantee you won't have problems, I can say that I haven't had any issues while restoring nandroids.

Just wanted to put my 2 cents for those who are still having sleep of death issues. My Nook Color is not overclocked. I had a few SODs with 7.2 and I went a little bit insane. So far, for the past 2 weeks I have had no sleep of death instances.

Now what I did was settings>wifi>advanced>Wifi Sleep Policy>Wifi Turns When Screen Goes Off

And off the marketplace: Green Power

The free version works fine and you can set it to disable wifi on screen off with a timer and such and also to re-enable it on device resume. So far, there has only been 1 incident of myself manually restarting the wifi to work.

Running time: 3 days 22 hours 18 mins

Display 23%

Phone Idle 22%

Cell Standby 18%

Wii Controller IME 7%

Android OS 5%

ADW Launcher 4%

Wallpaper Changer 4%

Google Play Store 4%

NESoid 3%

XDA 3%

Mediaserver 2%

This is days of going to websites, playing games with a bluetooth controller. The system right now has 15% power.

Consumption of power while idle still seems rather high to me, but at least I'm getting continuous stability.

Try Carrier Name app and change your carrier name to something shorter or remove it altogether.

Hello, all -

I'm trying to get openvpn set up on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1 and could use some help. The context is my mobile provider only allows traffic via a proxy running on port 80 and 443, so I'm trying to use openvpn and Witopia to work around this.

I think I've managed to get the connection working (openvpn settings shows itself as connected with what looks like the correct IP) but I can't seem to get any traffic to actually use the vpn tunnel. Here's my config file:

#viscosity startonopen false
#viscosity dhcp true
#viscosity dnssupport true
#viscosity name Washington 443
#viscosity ipv6 false
remote tcpvpn.iad.witopia.net 443 tcp-client
persist-key

Well I've never tried it so can't say. However do you have a rouge app maybe? Do you have a lot of Widgets on your home screens? Did you turn off background data,gps,etc?? All these play a major roll in battery life. Did you do a fresh install?

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Fresh install. Wiped even everything three times. Only widgets are the clock and Google Music. Of course the phone lists the screen as 70% of the usage.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] EvilKing009:
camera 360 is also great app but i am going back to stock rom because Cyanogenmod is much much buggy and slower then stock rom.i would be wait until phiexz would release a new version of cyanogenmod which fixes the sound problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
Or just install another version of CM7?

[HTC One X] mibikin:
I know that many people have been saying that they wouldn't be getting screen protectors. I, being very paranoid, had to get one to protect my screen. I had been using the phone without anything on the screen for a month, but still wanted a shield. I went to Best Buy yesterday, an purchased the shield, an it isn't like the others. The older invisible shields had a feel and look to them that you could tell it was there. This new Invisible Shield HD, however, is literally like nothing is there. The screen looks and feels the exact same as it did before I bought it, but is much stronger. So those of you that weren't planning on getting a screen protector, take a look at this Invisible Shield HD, you won't be dissapointed.

There's more than one? I got the screen only one, I know there was also the full body one.

[HTC One X] k4p741nkrunch:
The "case friendly" version is the Zagg HD. It also has other added benefits like being nearly invisible, thinner, and will zero orange peel effect. The other one is the regular Zagg, covering the full front of the device, but not made of the same glass like surface so it will feel rubbery and definitely be visible.
[HTC One X] Chad_Petree:
Couldnt Zagg have made an edge to edge HD version? i dont use cases just screen protectors, and with a smaller screen protecor dirt gets attached to edges :rolleyes:, by the way i can't find this HD version on Amazon
[HTC One X] mibikin:
Its really hard to tell that it isn't edge to edge. If it gets dirty, then you can see a small bit of dust, but that can be fixed with a wipe.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] k4p741nkrunch:
Zagg HD is a Best Buy exclusive product. Also, the HD is so clear you have to be looking for the edge to find it. If it was edge to edge any case would pull up the sides.
[HTC One X] mibikin:
Images attached. They aren't the greatest, but I don't really own a point and shoot. These are from my TF300.
[HTC One X] caskla:
Texture

I own a Zagg screen protector for my Asus transformer and I don't like the texture of it. But it isn't the Zagg "HD" protector. So does your screen protector feel abnormal to you?
[HTC One X] k4p741nkrunch:
My Zagg HD feels exactly like the plain screen did. It's made of a glass like material that is designed to give you the same feel of the screen and it works.
[HTC One X] mibikin:
The feel on the HD one is much better than the feel on the regular one. I have the non-HD invisible shield on my Transformer TF300 and it is noticeable and has the odd texture that they usually have. I have the normal invisible shield on my Vivid, too and it is very noticeable there aswelll. The HD one is the same as not having one.

I never actually saw that anywhere, it just feels glass like.

[HTC One X] mibikin:
When you put the thing on, wait a day or two, and all the microbubbles disappear. After that, it doesn't look like there is anything on the screen unless you tilt it so you are looking at the side, in direct sunlight. I haven't tried any other brands other than the Zagg shields and no, it doesn't dent if you press your nail too it, just tried it. My Vivid's shield does dent however, but that isn't the HD one.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
So I have a slight issue with CM9 and the MMS.apk (it also exists in AOKP.) When I send a text that spans multiple texts, it splits them up. So if I send a message that is more than 160 characters, it will automatically split them into 2. I checked the settings and the option to split texts is turned off.

For those more technically minded, the term is called Concatenated SMS. Not sure if we just have to wait for it to be updated and fixed or if it's something else going on there. Granted, if someone can check if this issue exists on the International version, that would be great.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] johnnyutah22:
I believe there is a setting in the sms app itself that allows you to convert long text messages into mms so they won't split.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
Right, but I shouldn't have to convert it to MMS for that. The true Stock software (that Samsung comes with) doesn't have this issue. Nor does any other phone, it splits it and rejoins it, but behind the scenes. MMS also drains more power since it has to initiate a data connection whereas SMS sends with the typical tower checkins.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SeanHacker:
what does "true" stock software have to do with AOKP??? if you want stock software. run stock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
It doesn't, I prefer closer to AOSP/AOKP, when I meantion "True" stock I mean Samsung Stock. Samsung Stock Messaging does support Concatenated SMS whereas AOSP/AOKP do not right now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Gerbowski:
Dude, it's actually a smart thing for it to do that. I used to send msgs to my friends phone and they had to be partitioned BC he was using an archaic phone. I'm glad it does this. You should be thanking them. What's it hurting anyways?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
They are partitioned when they send. The difference is on phones that support rejoining the text they get rejoined. It's a visual issue plus the texts send out split 2-3 seconds apart. If I force it to MMS it hurts my battery since data uses more power than SMS.

The case is pretty nice, SGP build quality is top notch and it feels that you are getting a well built case for your money. There are two things that I kinda didnt like, mainly the corners exposed
