Im rooted and su is granting permissions but titanium says backup directory not available.. How do you get it to see the ext sdcard to make backups properly?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Coop9:
While in Titanium backup, go to Menu -> Preferences -> Backup Folder Location

It can scan for existing titanium backup folders, or you can specifically choose a location.

I use google voice and received a call earlier. I answered on my computer, missing it on my phone. Now, My phone will either not stop ringing, or will start ringing randomly. How can I fix this? I've already tried wiping the dalvik cache.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Reflash the ROM, wiping dalvik cache wont work because all the dalvik cache is made of is the classes.dex files that contain the code for apk's.

If reflashing the ROM doesnt work, reflash with superwipe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0&feature=youtube_gdata_player just for you buddy... Apple is calling you back!

Now try clearing the app data and cache and see if that works...
[HTC Sensation] rockneo:
You had a perfectly stable stock rom, its not androids fault you screwed up in installing custom roms, when you jailbreak and iPhone it gets buggy too.
[HTC Sensation] legato89:
Whatever dude. I've been flashing ROMs since the original G1 and I'm just sick of things NOT working being the norm. The amount of time it takes to get a ROM to run stable is not even worth it. After you spend hours reading everything to get your phone ready to flash the fancy cool ROM, stuff still doesn't work properly. Oh, and for the record, I've never owned an iPhone, so I don't see how Apple could call me back.
[HTC Sensation] irrelephant:
Well then something as simple as clearing app cache should have been second nature to you... And secondly, how can you cry about roms faults, when they are provided free of charge! If you want perfect, go buy iCrap, and become just another sheeple! I told you how to fix you problem the first time. Yvw for the help, but if you been flashing since the g1 and haven't figured out basic android then you should switch to apple...
[HTC Sensation] legato89:
I did clear the app cache, it didn't solve anything, hence why I came here. The issue has resolved itself after several reboots/ clearing phone related apps. I don't understand why you're assuming I haven't figured out basic android ROM troubleshooting, seeing as I have to do it every other day. It's obvious to me you are a fanboy who takes personal offense whenever anyone says anything negative about Android. You care more about not being an iSheep than having a functional device. Stock android has major faults, which is why I bother rooting to begin with. I detest Apple, and am pretty jaded with Android.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I've been ruining custom roms since I got my device and honestly they have proven to be much more stable than stock. When I was stock I had random reboots after doing simple tasks , that had Never happened to me on custom roms. My experience has been nothing but positive! I'm sorry you had such a negative experience but not everyone has had negative experiences . Your probably going to bash me for saying this because your hateing right now but I'm being completely honest .I for one enjoy my custom roms and NEVER had serious issues with them ! I'm very grateful to have them available to me. Android had proven to be the best and most customizable operating system I've ever used! If your not satisfied go find something else however you will find in the end that Android is the better system . If you don't agree Then just stay happily with what ever other system you choose. But in all honesty I can't see finding a better system than android . Again sorry you have had such a negative experience but not many share your view. Best of luck to you and in what ever you decide to switch too. But personally I'm sticking with android and my custom roms. They have brought me great satisfaction.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tcb4:
If I let my galaxy s3 run for a few days without rebooting sometimes it will idle at 50 degrees celcius. Then when I restart it goes back to idling at 35 degrees or so. I think it might be a application running in the background. I cleared all the active apps before I restarted it, but this was only the second time it had happened so I kinda panicked and just restarted it before checking anything out. Could it be SwiftKey or one of the other active applications. The temps are of the cpu not battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] J M L:
It might be the problem with the gsiff_daemon running away and using all of one CPU. When your phone is hot, go to Settings -> Developer options -> Show CPU usage. With that checked you will get an onscreen display of what processes are running, and a bar indicating how much CPU they are each using. If "gsiff_daemon" is at the top of the list, with a green and red bar, then it is the gsiff_daemon problem. Currently there is no solution other than to kill gsiff_daemon (I do it from the command line) or reboot. If it is not the gsiff_daemon problem, then hopefully Show CPU usage will let you see what other app or process is running hard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tcb4:
Thanks, I think that it's Facebook running in the background. If I don't close Facebook its the number one process (com.facebook.katana) even if I'm browsing the Web. Even if I do disable notifications and close out of it its still the number one process while sitting on the home screen.

Edit: ol Facebook seems to have fallen off the process list. Using Facebook makes phone really hot(cpu can hit 50 degrees celcius). what could it be doing that would need that much processing power?

Hi,

I have a i9020a on 4.0.4 rooted. Got the OTA for JB update and after downloaded the file and restart, I got the "signature verification failed" in CWM recovery. Wonder what I need to do to be able to work around this. Do I have to revert back to stock recovery and if yes is there a guide on how to do that ?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:
I went to stock by doing this. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29073020&postcount=1

I didn't flash the updates in the second part #1. I logged everything in got the 4.0.4 1mb first then did this to get the 4.1.1 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29067584&postcount=2817

Go into airplane with a strong wifi signal on for this to work.

I then rerooted (2nd part #2 on)

I chose to get the OTAs this way instead, but I'm sure just flashing is fine.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
You can't actually receive and install the ota with a custom recovery.

You can flash it manually with a custom recovery.

You can get it ota and have it install automatically with stock.

Can't install a ota when its pushed to your phone over the air with custom and you can't manually flash it with stock recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d960:
Thanks, did you do the wipe as well? I was wondering how to properly wipe, e.g., go to setting and storage and erase everything, is that considered wipe?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d960:
Thanks for education. Still pretty new on this...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:
This is a "clean" wipe:

full wipe / changing roms:

1. wipe data/factory reset (this formats /data, /cache and .android_secure on sd)

2. format /system, /boot

this leaves you with a "virgin" phone, only bootloader, recovery and radio are left. dalvik-cache resides on /data, so it's gone already.

You could also format SD in recovery as well. I moved everthing I wanted out and wiped for a nice fresh start, but that's just me :good:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d960:
Thanks. I managed to update to JB following the guide you are refering to and also the steps you took (i.e., doing OTA update). In general it went smooth but I do encounter some issues that I want to ask the OP of that thread.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
Yeah i can see what your saying mate but thats the problem, i like the blue one but then the white one looks so good aswell lol.

I mean a few of my mates have got the phone but a few have blue and a few have white so its not like a majority have one colour or the other lol.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Id say white mate
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Pretty ordinary thread. Like asking what colour car should I buy. The reason car companies have multiple colours available is because everyone has their own tastes and preferences.

Personally I prefer and have the blue. It is just so different.

I have switched between Sense and AOSP countless times and the thing I noticed was that the keyboard on Sense is slower.

On AOSP it responds immediatly, I even notice it now on AOKP.

Now my question, how would I get the AOSP keyboard on Android Revolution 7.2.1? I have already tried extracting the AOSP keyboard from an AOSP rom and putting it in system/apps but it wouldn't open, just force close, any ideas?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] VaderSKN:
Put the .apk file in ROM zip/system/app, reboot in recovery, reflash the ROM without wiping. Reboot and done.
[HTC One X] D3VICE:
I have tried that too, but when I changed the keyboard to the Google AOSP one, it just force closed and wouldn't open any keyboard.

Anyone know which one will work on Android Revolution?

Are there any kernels/ROMs that support AVRCP 1.3 or higher (viewing the song info via bluetooth)? The track buttons work great in my car, but there is no song info / metadata.

Hey,

Looks as though the screen on my sensation has stopped working. I've just tried the suggestions in the sticky but no luck. Any one have an idea how I can backup the data on the phone. I've basically got 7 unread texts on the phone that I need to try and access.

I've got SMS backup/restore on the phone but its only set to once a week backup. Do texts automatically get backed up anywhere else at all? Preferably on the SD card? If I plug the phone in then it asks me to select what to do with the USB type which I can't do as the screen is still locked.

Any ideas please?

Cheers,

Andy

I had the same problem. If you`ve got ADB enabled on your phone, you can use Android Screencast http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/ and try to read and backup them.

Hey guys, I just got my S3 (I9300) 2 weeks ago and I love it. Very fast. But the thing that concerns me is that sometimes when I'm scrolling through home screens in touchwiz i see micro stutters in the transitions (like semi-lag but not fully lag, hopefully you guys know what I mean).

Is this normal?

I'm a little worried..

I am on the LF2 firmware. Completely stock, haven't rooted or installed any custom ROMS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Is it the redraw? Theres a fix for that

Or the wallpaper scrolling? Fix for that too

Use the search function. Its really helpful, as is google search
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_doubleT:
No its not the redraw issue. It happens when i scroll between home screens.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
On touchwiz?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
Yes on TW, you can not do much about this. there SOME sammy roms Foxhound is one with the right kernel that got rid of the micro stutter on TW

but its TW not the phone or Rom!!!

most other launchers do not have this problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_doubleT:
Yes from touchwiz, the launcher that Samsung puts in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Get nova or apex launcher
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_doubleT:

I just need to make sure this is not a faulty device/hardware issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:

As i said. Try nova launcher
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uronfire:
Never noticed any stutter on the home screen scrolling I'm using stock LFB rom with speedmod kernel.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
From my experience, every Android phone I have ever owned has had some degree of micro stuttering, and it has always bugged me. It's also interesting, because some people claim not to be able to perceive any stuttering, while others do, so it seems to be a very subjective matter.

I'm very happy to say, however, that the experimental builds of Jelly Bean have finally stopped 95% of this issue for me. I'm hopeful that once Samsung releases official Jelly Bean binaries we will see the remaining 5% gone too, but either way, I believe it is already smoother than any iOS device out there, which has generally been my baseline.

Edit: Changing launchers does help, but only on the home screen and app draw.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicked1683:
If you are using a live wallpaper try to change it as some LW are laggy.

Also try to check the services that are running in your background through setting-application manager. Maybe you have too many background processes

And lastly wait for jellybean update as this will make the UI interface super smooth cause by project butter of Google
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
You just chose to NOT read my post about this huh.......lol

YES its a known issue with TW, but it can be ruduced/eliminated..........OR you can use another launcher.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Haha they only read what they want to!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
It's no JUST TW. There is still some stuttering, even running CM9. Yes, the amount of stuttering is reduced, but the root cause is still at the heart of Android (pre JB anyway).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
In all fairness you are right. But TW is the most noticeable, and moaned about lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
LAG FREE Launcher (Promise) TSF Shell-----but its 15 bucks.

Even SPB shell runs damn smooth-----15 bucks

adw ex launcher, i had no lag - but i liked TW better

im on MiUi now, and again No Lag with the MiUi Launcher.

so yes i understand it happens, i saw the lag in Nova, and Apex, and Trabuchet ( or whatever )

im not saying your wrong, just pointing out that you DONT have to live with it and its NOT the hardware/phone....thats all i was getting at.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
Agreed, but the launcher is such a small aspect of the phone that it usually just annoyed me more, as it proved the hardware was capable, but that Android itself was slow!

Anyway, "project butter" has totally changed the experience, and will be a big draw card to iPhone users who were hesitant to switch in the past :)
