Volume down + home screen + power button doesn't work for download mode? If you're screen is still powering on and showing the battery charging icon and samsung logo you haven't bricked your phone. I know on previous phones I have had that even though it showed nothing but a black screen odin still picked the phone up and was able to flash it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rvshaw:
No, Volume down+home screen+power button only produces the Samsung or the Battery symbol for about a second, goes away and nothing else after that but a black screen, ODIN does not see the phone as it is not powered on, hope that makes sense

Oh, Sh*t, I think I just bricked my phone - same thing happened. It now won't even allow me to boot. I took the battery out, unplugged the USB. Plugged the USB in and then put the battery back in. The LED light comes on for about 30 seconds and then goes off and stays OFF. I've tried POWER+UP/DOWN volume and HOME...still no avail.

The computer does recognize [the phone] when I plug it in by making a thumping sound and then it makes a few thumping sounds and then that's it.

PLEASE HELP!

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y0nk0:
I have a very strange problem:

Yesterday my defy had about 50% of battery, and I left it charging. When I came back, the phone was off, and when I tried to boot it up it showed the typical charging screen showing 5%. Thinking it was a battery drain, I left it charging an hour or so, but it stayed at 5%.

I tried with other chargers, connecting it to the pc, but there's no way of charging it. I also tried charging it with this trick http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892026 with no result.

I can get to recovery, but not past it, as it goes to the battery charging screen.

The weirdest thing is that connecting the peeled off usb cable directly to the battery connectors on the phone I can't boot the phone, so my guess is the phone can't take power from the battery connectors, only from the micro usb port..

At this point I want to send the phone to the tech service, because it is still in warranty, but I should flash the original sbf first. But I can't do this because the bootloader says cannot program battery low.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you if you read it all, and sorry for my english

[Galaxy S II General] christina_b:
Basically, I'm looking for a way of debugging my Linux based kernel on a Galaxy S2 device. My kernel consists of a set of extensions to the Linux kernel that provide functionality (in form of APIs/system calls) of the mach microkernel to the higher level userland applications. I'm basically developing my own, Darwin compatible OS that is intended to be fully binary compatible with Darwin 11 (which includes iPhoneOS).

So far I've done all of my development on a Cortex A8 ARM RealView development kit which has been a breeze in terms of getting things to work and debugging them. Now I want to mess around with the GLes related stuff on my platform, but sadly my board lacks a GPU. So I was thinking about running my OS on an SGS2 phone I have, since I have the source code of the Mali-400 userland libraries and can easily rebuild them for a different OS/ABI.

Now, the core question is, what would be the most convenient way of doing kernel development and debugging on this device? I read that it is possible to make a UART cable using a resistor, in order to be able to receive and send serial IO to the kernel which is pretty much all I need right now. I could also attach my JTAG debugger (I have an Abatron BDI3000 unit) to the device, but I'm not too keen on doing that as my soldering skills are sloppy and I don't feel like writing configuration files for the Exynos SoC. And before I try to make my own cable, is there a way of getting a serial console over USB (I know that it is possible on some hardware like the s5l SoC family) which would simplify things a lot.
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
For serial output there are many guides. One is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1515570

The other is titled galaxy s2 bible. It's a thread in general ->hardware hacking.

Good luck with your project, hope to see a repo soon! :)
[Galaxy S II General] christina_b:
I wonder if there is a way of using serial over USB somehow? I think it is possible to do that in Odin mode (in fact, as far as I understand that's how the Odin protocol works).

I will try to grab the resistors in a few days to try out making a serial cable and attaching it to my UART dongle to see if it works. But being able to use serial over USB would make things a lot easier.
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
Yes you can with the proper resistor.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Hi Guys,

First of all, I've searched ardently on any thread that might be related to mine, but I'm finding it none zilch nada. So if any of you have found some similar threads as this thread, then feel free to PM the Mod so that they may close it appropriately.

Anyway.. Here's my issue. Seeing on Samfirmware website, I saw two versions of the firmwares available today. One in Asia(DXLR2) and one for Europe (Open Germany - DXLRG)

Now my question is, I know the firmwares are carrier or region specifics but we can always try one over the other right?

So here goes, Which do you think among the two firmwares (DXLRG vs DXLR2) have more positives over the other? or anyone can stand up and say that DXLR2 is much better in battery management than DXLRG??

To those using DXLRG now, would you mind listing all the benefits/advantages you can share in using that Rom over DLXR2? Also to those using DXLR2 woud you mind doing the same? You can also list down bugs you have discovered using the Rom you chose.

Let's start comparing which one suits best.

I'm in quandary which one I should try to flash it to.

Thanks y'all, much appreciated it.

:cowboy:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3TALLICA:
It probably is just two different names given to the same kernel/firmware.

Build date might be different but it is built on the same sources.

Anyways, it seems firmware upgrades are national secrets. Only The Asian and the German firmwares got the 4.0.4 update not others ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
I guess so. I mean I checked Samfirmware and those are the only firmwares I could find (Asian and the Open German one).

I'm just trying to solicit views and comments /experiences here to those who are using the two firmwares. Comparing one over the other. I've heard about laggyness on the German firmware and smooth UI experiences on the Asian one.

The German firmware has some issues also that the phone accordingly builds heat and drains battery more. Though I can't confirm or deny on that. That is why I would like to know straight from the sources themselves if it's really true or not.

I can't use the adb/fastboot

because the computer is not detecting the mobile

the computer identifies easily the mobile.

Therefor i think i have no other way instead using odin

do you have any other idea ?

You do have a driver problem then: The driver to copy files to your computer is different than the driver needed to use fastboot, which is also different than the driver need to use adb. These are the drivers you should be using.

Originally posted on CM10 Epinter. This procedure is to attempt to fully charge your battery the first time you flash this ROM. Try this at your own risk.

Hope it helps. Perform this one time. No need to go though these steps every time you charge your phone. Subsequent charges that result in 92% to 100% max displayed power is acceptable on this device because of an unknown problem.

20 Aug 12

Some more tips:

Disable Google Now if you do not need it.

Disable Google Backup service.

Disable fast dormancy apk.

Set wifi to sleep when screen is off.

Turn off mobile data if you are in a no 3G coverage area.

Playing high graphics games kill your battery fast.

Google Navigation can be used with screen off to save power.

Turn off gps when not in use.

Turn off wifi radio when not in use.

Turn off bluetooth when not needed.

I have a feeling undervolting and downclocking makes your phone unstable. I have no proof though.

I recommend you do not run any scripts like nitrocharger or supercharger. Again, based on experience.

To avoid the dreaded media scan drainage, try not to reboot unnecessarily. A lot of power is wasted during power up.

I do not use auto brightness in cm10. I turn on the option to slide your finger across the status bar and adjust as needed. I will re enable once levels are more consistent.

I believe the hotter the phone gets, the more power it will drain. Give it a break and let it cool down.

Don't swipe away previously used apps. Do this if you know those apps are battery hogs.

* These are MY recommendations. This is all based on experience. I will continue to add to this list based on feedback and/or experiences.

Here are some tests I performed:

Above:

Here are my results on Epinter 0813. Google Now, Google Search location detection, Google Maps frozen, Google location services OFF.

Battery exceeds CM7 efficiency.

*Notice 6 hours of usage. I consider this VERY good. I was only getting less than 3 hours in the early days of this ROM.

Also, do not supercharge your phone. And select zram to disable. This is what worked for me, it may not work for you.

For those with terrible battery life:

Mobile data connection seems to drain on this rom very quickly. I disable mobile data manually or you can download green Power app and it'll take care of it for you.

From my experience, the rom considers whatever battery power you had when you flashed the rom as full. Force charge your battery. What I mean by this is plug your phone, power off, remove battery, wait for question mark, then reinsert battery. Let's say your phone had 50% battery left before you shut it down, the phone should charge another 50 right? Well if it is not in sync with the rom it will charge and additional percentage above the 50% you had left. What I do is continue charging until the percentage ceases to increase. One time I had 50 % left, but when I did a force charge it charged to like 72%!

Once the percentage stops increasing, remove battery, then wait for the question mark to show,the phone will say "where's my battery". Unplug phone, reinstall battery then plug it in. It should display 100%. Turn on your phone.

Sorry for any gramatical errors, wrote this information a hurry. Should I make a new thread with these instructions?

When was the last time you clean installed the ROM? I mean system and data partitions? I just did a clean install of the latest last night and it is behaving better than ever. I recommend you do not flash the blue sleep fix. That would only place another variant on your troubleshooting process. There are some things I freeze or uninstall like fingerprint app and face unlock.

I have to mention that I have not been flashing Epinter Gapps...

After you wipe and re flash, charge the battery using the method on first post.

Thanks. Two versions ago I did a complete wipe, and have since been wiping system and both caches. Performance has been fine, just getting unfortunate battery drain. I think I may have flashed the blue sleep fix, but don't recall. What gapps did you flash? I also fresh installed apps from the play store
[Atrix 4G General] :
I installed the same gapps I use on my Nexus 7. It is 27july gapps JB. Let me know if you need a link. Shouldn't be too hard to find. MAKE SURE YOU GRAB THE RIGHT ONE! :D

I am no ROM expert, but this is how I see it. Let's say you flashed an earlier version of CM10 and you have wiped system every update,but never wiped data. Now imagine you have old data on your phone that used to be linked up to some system app that was modified on recent builds. I started fresh from 0803 because I know It is the most stable and better performing build of them all to this date.

When you run alphas or beta you have to be willing to start over from scratch sometimes. Remember, you ARE a tester. You have to provide the most accurate feedback to the Developer in order to make the rom even greater. I'm just rambling now. I need some food. :good:

After full wipe and re-install this is the battery life I'm getting. Much better than before.
[Atrix 4G General] elbscorp:
I have to agree with this.When I did a complete wipe I did restore my apps through Titanium Backup,but apps only NO data. I did not use the bluesleep fix. I also used the Gapps flash referred to above (just because that is the one I had on my SDCard)
[Atrix 4G General] :
Another good practice is every now and then check every folder on your sd card and delete folders and files that are no longer needed. Be careful though, some of those files are named funny and may not seem important until one of your apps crashes. If you are NOT sure,

do not delete!

I am disabling my mobile data at work because I only get edge connection which is pretty useless.

Edit, having auto sync on all day is a waste. I also turn off auto sync while at work. When I need to check for any notifications etc. I turn on auto sync then *ding* I get all my notifications at once. Quick toggle switches can be set up on your notification bar for easy access.

Messed up battery

My battery has been messed up for some time now... Even before I rooted my atrix it would only charge to 90%. Now that it's rooted it's like the phone charges to 100%, and then as it's discharging it jumps a lot. The strange part is, after it does all that jumping the phone will only charge up to a certain percentage (usually 62%) like it's trying to filter out the jumps.

I really want to fix this or I am for sure getting rid of this phone. I was really busy for a month and managed to get screenshot of the chaos before I recently flashed CM10. I'm not sure if all these pictures are necessary, but if it will help me find a solution I would be very happy.
