[General Questions and Answers] Kriggi23:
Hi,

i switched from my good old SGS1 to SGS3.

I did a backup of my call log and sms with Titanium Backup Pro (Key) "Save to xml"... sms/mms and call log

Moved the xml files to the new phone and tried to restore xml backups.

But... TB opens only an empty text file - no restore no nothing

Did i something wrong?

TIA

Christian
[General Questions and Answers] Kriggi23:
Found a solution myself.

I had to choose auto indirect (2nd option) at the last point at options menu. Something like "problems with backup / restore".

Thanks anyway

Christian

First of all Congrats for ur new SGSIII:D

Can you tell me how to backup and restore sms and call log in a xml file through titanium backup.
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
I love Titanium Backup - paid for the full version - but ...

... you are better off using SMS Backup & Restore for your messages. You can set it to auto-backup every day, hour or whatever and even dump the backup onto DropBox.
[General Questions and Answers] ProjectPat1982:
Yes, Simon is right, for your messages you are better off using SMS backup & restore from the playstore. It is very easy to use.

I think you can do it also with TB on the menu 'Schedule', and then in 'Add schedule'.

But I also use SMS Backup & Restore, I think it's more simple. This to SMS and TB to Apps :silly:
[General Questions and Answers] viva-yo:
I would rather use SMS backup pro
[General Questions and Answers] emko7:
All well and good for SMS, but how would you backup and restore MMS?

Titanium backup does both. The only other app I found that does both

is "MMS Backup and Restore", but it's full of bugs and I haven't had

much success with it.

[General Questions and Answers] funnyperson1:
I've used the TiBackup SMS/MMS restore and it works great. I don't really need the scheduled backups though, I would just backup before installing a new ROM or something. You could even backup straight to Dropbox and have a backup in case you lose your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] zillanilla:
Do you mind elaborating how?

I know that I've successfully backed up my sms/mms in Titanium Backup because when I went to restore everything (moving from evo 3d to evo 4g lte so that was a big no-no in itself) all of the sms/mms came over to the new phone. Of course, restoring everything caused problems so I had to undo the operation via factory reset. Now, I'm manually restoring only the elements that I need, but cannot for the life of me figure out where the sms/mms information would be stored. Any insight you can provide would be much appreciated.
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Many people in the recent days have moved on from their Willy.

Today, it's my turn.

I've been eyeing the Galaxy Nexus for some time now, especially on this website where people can put up second-hand ones.

Yesterday someone put up one for 340€ fresh out the box.

Earlier today I got a message saying that the company I worked for as a summer job has put the money on my bank account, so I imediatly called the seller and we agreed to meet later on.

Well, long story short he robbed me I got myself a brand new Galaxy Nexus for 340€ :)

My Wildfire was my first smartphone, the phone that introduced me to this wild Android world and to XDA as well.

Getting a new phone doesn't mean I'll just kick little Willy out on the streets.

No.

It means that it'll just be more open than before.

I will be able to test new ROMs as the come out and not have to worry about having a functioning phone.

Also because the Wildfire forum is sort of low activity, I won't really miss much. (I really dislike how fast the forum for the Galaxy Nexus moves :()

(Not really sure how to properly conclude this, so here's a picture of how I felt on the ride home)
[Wildfire General] JaegerStriker:
that is exactly what i did except i got a HD2 instead of the nexus, i have my wildfire sat in my laptop bag so its within easy reach to flash any new rom that appears here :D
[Wildfire General] androidino95:
I love how everyone who buys a new phone makes a good bye Wildfire thread.

Well, I didn't make one, so I'll put it here. It was also my first Android phone, I really loved it, still do, but can't stand it anymore after buying the One X, it's so freaking small!

So, good luck with your new phone nejc. Hope you are gonna like the plastic fantastic Sammy. (I know, HOX is plastic, too.) :good:
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
To be honest, coming from a Wildfire to a Galaxy Nexus, there's no big change in build quality, so I don't really notice, nor do I care as much :p
[Wildfire General] rocker86:
Good luck mate with your new phone...:good:
[Wildfire General] Slymobi:
Cheerio, good luck. Hope you have fun with the new toy. :thumbup:

Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Nice one mate, welcome to the Samsung club :D

You rocking jb yet, the first builds for me are amazingly fast and that's without the butter which you'll obviously have.......
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Unlocked, flashed custom recovery and got ParanoidAndroid 1.9.1 running in about 20 minutes :p

This thing is smooooooooth as butter :)
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Hahaha we got 1.9.2 today, you should get theme engine merged into the next build if it's not there yet. Cm9 themes are working perfectly apart from the notification drop down. If you stick with Pa bare with the paranoid settings as they will get better, there's a few things missing atm for it.
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Might not drop so soon, dev is on vacation for a bit :p

But yeah, I'm in love with this phone :)

I was really surprised when unlocking was just one command in fastboot.

Just having pain getting MTP working under my computer.

It's running XP, because it's pretty old :/
[Wildfire General] Justice™:
Congrats on getting the nexus. Definetly great for dev support and android 4.1

See you around the forums. I'm sure we'll both end up popping back here to check on the wildfire

Speaker Quality

I read that the Nexus Speaker, produces very low sound, i know you may use volume+ to increase the volume a bit. Overall, how does the nexus speaker stack against the wildfire speaker(Mediocre in My opinion .) I'm seriously thinking about the nexus, so i would also like to know your overall impressions compared to the wildfire....

Thanks in Advance
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
No scientific analysis, it's maybe a tad bit lower.

But one thing I did notice is that the Wildfire speaker is a bit..not sure how to properly say this, distorted, screech-y when it comes to higher tones at max volume. In fact, it was so bad, that it cause minor headaches every time a higher piched sound was played out.

Maybe it's just the age showing.

But otherwise, you can't really compare the two phones. The Nexus is in a way, way higher league. It's smooth as fu thanks to Jelly Bean and the dev community is amazing.

Just one thing that does bother me is the screen. At lower brightness levels (1-10%) the grays are a bit purple (sort of fixable by adjusting colors using a kernel tweak tool) and on a black screen there are these darker spots (not noticeable unless you're really looking for them)

Both of these issues are quite common.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Pentile matrix :( it makes my whites kind of a bluey colour which gets worse if the phone is at an angle, bit like when I accidently dropped a football sock in the washing machine with a white shirt. :rolleyes:

I understand the logic behind it, green pixels mess up more than red or blue so having more green pixels compensates for that thus meaning the screen should last longer than an rgb one, what i don't understand is a non-pentile screen will last well beyond a 2yr contact so why sacrifice that perfection for a little extra screen life?

My whites are no longer whiter than white, I need some daz............. :p
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Doesn't the S2 have a RGB pixel arrangement?

Also, only having an internal SD card is a pain.

Installed B2G as a test and I had to use fastboot to erase all partition and I forgot to back it up :(

Lost all my TB backups and nandroid recoveries.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
:p so it does? Never even looked before, I just presumed it did as the nexus, s3 and doesn't the galaxy s have pentile too?

I wonder why my whites are off colour then, might have to take it back again to get my 4th phone this month.........
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Yeah, it's RGB because it's a SuperAMOLED+, the S3 and Nexus have a Super AMOLED HD while the SGS used a Super AMOLED display. It's that + that's important :)

And besides that blue tint thing isn't that rare for a S2.

Did you try using a kernel that allows for color tweaking?

I managed to reduce the purple-ish colors by adjusting the colors.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Yeh am using siyah kernel atm which has it (haven't played with that yet though) but I'm thinking of going back to the stock kernel that came with pa. It seems better battery wise. I feel like a noob all over again now....... :D
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Try toying around with the colors a bit, perhaps reducing the blue multiplier.

I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 [GT-P3113]

I just flashed cwm recovery on it and rooted it, I've just wanted to try and uninstall clockworkmod and go back to stock recovery, I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything for my tab model.

Thanks, I have some questions because I coudln't post a reply to that post.

-I live in egypt and I bought my tab from the US, this rom is for the US so should I flash it normally? (will I get the OTA updates)?

-should I backup my data and so? (sorry it's my first device)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximinus I:
You should get ota's as its 100% stock. As far as flashing it no need to backup anything. You won't have root or cwr to use your backup. Flash via Odin and you should be good to go.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimtatt:
*I done that for my Galaxy Ace, I believe should be the same.

reverting back to Stock from CWM all you need is Odin and stock firmware which able to obtain from sammobile.

flash is with stock ROM via Odin will bring everything back to stock. *after flash, make sure swipe your data & cache OTHERWISE it will stuck and become boot-loop.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
I did flash the stock ROM and recovery via odin, and it worked perfectly, thanks for the info thought because once I forgot to wipe data and it was stuck on boot-loop till I reached recovery mode.

I meant isn't there a normal way to go back to android recovery without flashing new ROM?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakatu:
Can't really have stock recovery AND root... seeing as you install root via CWM

Besides you can do way more with CWM over stock.

Do you have a P5100 , P5110 or P5113 ? It don´t sounds like!

If not - don´t use this files! This might brick your device!

If you don´t have a P51XX you need to find a Stock-Recovery or Custom-Recovery for your Device.

If you have P51XX download and flash a StockRom - or extract the recover.img inside the XXX_HOME.tar.md5 and make it Odin-Flashable using this tool and flash it with Odin.

[Networking] spookys:
I searched through the forums already but haven't found a solution.

I just got a new phone today but it won't connect to my wifi connection; it consistently says "authenticating" but nothing more. I know the password is correct and I even tried the security code - nothing. My laptop, netbook, and iTouch all connect fine except for the phone.

What are some things I can try to fix it? Any help would be appreciated!
[Networking] Cinco5:
This might be a "duh" but make sure your bands are compatible. With cell phones, I find G to provide the best performance. Either way, make sure your network is operating in a band your phone can support.

Also, occasionally my phones will refuse to connect to my wireless -- I find that rebooting the router takes care of it every time -- I run a pretty hacked up network though...
[Networking] kuisma:
Try fiddling around with the authentication parameters in the router. E.g. try AES vs TKIP+AES etc. Some implementations are quite buggy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s0me guy:
this is a mod for using two OEM Samsung batteries together for a "real" 4200mAh extended battery. unlike most 3rd party batteries the OEM ones tend to be much closer to their rated tolerance voltages and mAh.

this thing is a BEAST! :)

DIY:

i am not responsible for any bad stuff that happens to you or your phone. im not right in the head, i have a modding sickness and i do crazy stuff to expencive things i have only owned for a few days. so folowing this DIY means your crazy too and dont care if your phone blows up in your pocket or whatever... :p

if you have never soldered anything before. just stop now... dont do this mod. :mad:

if you bridge the wrong contacts with solder your battery WILL catch on fire, melt and possibly explode. this is not a joke!

please dont post questions about asking how to solder etc. i will flat out ignore them as i dont want you to do this mod if you dont have exp in this dept.

also make sure BOTH batteries are charged up to at least 4.3v before even starting.

for ref:

battery 1 is the one closest to the phone

battery 2 is the one with NFC and furthest away from the phone

now for the directions...

if you dont care about NFC and just want the battery to work ignore everything below. just tape the batteries together and just solder the + & - contacts in parallel. bam! your done. :good:

for working NFC: :fingers-crossed:

1. remove silver outer sticker from both batteries & remove the NFC sticker from only battery 1 (not sure if removing the NFC sticker is 100% necessary but its what i did). then take the little black end caps with the water mark stickers off. you can just pry them off pretty easily.

2. tin the following contacts on each battery.

3. tape off the following contacts on battery 1 only.

4. use a tiny bit of double sided tape to join the two batteries together. dont use too much tho, just in case you ever need to take them apart later. make sure the batteries are positioned correctly. you want battery 2 (with NFC) on the out side.

5. use foil tape or copper tape to go over top of the tape you already put on battery 1and solder it to the parallel contacts on battery 2.

what your doing here is just telling the circuit to ignore battery 1's passive contacts for NFC and jump the circuit to battery 2 to power the NFC sticker.

6. now solder the following contacts.

7. tape the two batteries together so if you need to pull the battery the whole assembly will come out in one piece.

8. tape off the exposed contacts just for safety sake.

first 8hrs off the charger

no power saving stuff. no wifi, 2hrs of Pandora over Bluetooth.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ranchosteve:
That is awesome I have always wanted to try that. Do they book h charge in the phone via USB?

I have noticed that the cheapo honk Kong battery's are just 2 smaller battery's weird together.

I would think that OEM battery's would be great plus you still have nfc.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jev3gs:
Nice! This is what I am going to do if the Hyperion battery doesn't work as advertised. It actually is pretty safe if it is wired correctly. Heck if I remember right Mugen or Seidio has even done it on some of their batteries so it has to be safe

end of first cycle:

moderate use over long day.... slept for 4 hrs (you can see it flatten out near the end) then i hit things pretty hard with web browsing for the last stretch.

about 1 hr of Power Amp, 2 hrs of pandora. 30min GPS. 30min of games, a bunch of random youtube searches in HD. always on 4G

no wifi, everything else on. no power saving. auto brightness.

this cycle didnt really sown the battries true colors. but after this cycle the calabration was much better and it shows in the following posts.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
How do your results compare to just one battery? There are people getting 4hours screen on with one battery.

You should plasti dip those exposed wires or something. If one breaks off because of a cold solder and shorts out it could start a fire. At the very least put some electrical tape on it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
Good point...screen on time is not important as cpu max load. If your phone work ar max load it will die a lot quicker than screen on

Any update in your battery?

Would be possible to use a generic extended battery housing and swap out the battery's with Samsung ones?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s0me guy:
nope. at least not with my Max power ones. i was going to try to use the same charging circuit board off the Max power batts but the samsung cells are bigger and dont fit inside the non-OEM case underneath the stickers.

however the battery door from my Max power batts does fit the phone with the modded Samsung 4200mAh if thats what your asking?

i actually haven't gone thru any full discharges other than the ones i posted due to a really busy work schedule. but i will update ASAP.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s0me guy:
update:

25hrs off the charger. 3hrs screen time, played N64 emu for about 45min, poweramp for 2hrs, pandora for 1.5hrs, 30min of web browsing, 45 min of voice calls, etc...

all radios on except WiFi. been on 4G this whole time. no power saving, auto brightness.

still got 41% left. ;)

need to figure out what "Media server" is and why its taken more power than my browser... :confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
That's from media streaming
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s0me guy:
Sweet, thanks.

Currently @ 6% and over 7hrs screen time. Ill prob be able to squeeze 36hrs out of thisbattery with no compromise on my usage. On heavy use days (more web and screen time) I'd surly be able to get a full 16-18 hrs of use.

Ill post screen shots when i get down to 1-2%
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
U need to post an extensive guide on how to do this.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s0me guy:
i will but im pretty sure NFC is not working right now. ill have to do some crazy soldering tricks to get it working. worst part is that it all will be off theory. as i still cant find a schematic.

-------------------------

Update:

i had it down to 4% and then i had to use my GPS for a longer period of time than the batt would last so to avoid taking screen shots and rebooting during my trip i had to just put it on the charger. but here are the screen shots. im pretty happy with the results.

mind you i would not consider this "heavy use" for my normal day to day. but the idea is accomplished. i have a battery that can last me 1 full day now matter how hard i beat on it. :victory:

all radios on (except WiFi) always on 4G, no power saving, auto brightness.

5hrs of pandora

3hrs of PowerAmp

1hr of N64oid

I don't really care if it works, but I'd like it to work.... you know how that goes - the day it DOES NOT work is when I'll run in to somebody with a GS3 and we will try to send something between the phones like the commercials, but it doesn't work :silly:
