[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] turtlenet:
There's something wrong with my wifi too (Rogers HTC One X) -- wifi signal strength is typically about 20dB worse (that's 100 times less signal power for those of you who aren't familiar with decibels) compared to my laptop or blackberry in the same location, and I get "not in range" on the phone when my laptop has 3-4 out of 5 bars. It doesn't seem like exactly the same problem as the international version, since I can't make it better by pressing the case by the camera and volume up, but it does seem like some kind of hardware/antenna issue.

(FWIW, I'm on version 1.94 software (Rogers OTA update), and I've selected "2.4GHz only", and "best wifi" in the settings)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I've noticed that mine fluctuates when I hold it in different ways. It's like the iPhone 4 grip problem when it first came out but this seems worse. I barely have to touch the bottom of the phone for the signal to drop. Also, I noticed that sometimes I can't connect to the same wifi hot spots as other phones / other devices I've had. It's like it doesn't have the same range.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Yeah, there was something wrong with the motor so I exchanged it. My current one had a LOUD motor when I first got it that sorta sounded like a rattle but it has settled in it seems. It's perfect now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Mine is really loud.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GroovyGeek:
Same here. As I type this I am watching the Wifi oscillate between one and four 'bars'. The other day the hox was dropping the connection altogether and I was constantly switching between 3g and wifi
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codyrt:
When I first got my phone it would get into a cycle of losing Wi-Fi connection, switching to data, then back to Wi-Fi repeatedly. It kept doing this until I turned Wi-Fi off for about 5 minutes. It seems to not happen as much on a different ROM than stock.

This happened even with good signal. Also I don't have any signal issues, signal strength is always as strong as it should be.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
I had Wifi issues when I first got my One X where I would get weak signal or it would constantly drop. Also, when i would go in to or out of a Wifi hot spot I would lose data for a few minutes unless I toggled airplane mode. Once I unlocked my phone and out on CleanRom, some of the issues seemed to be resolved. Now I am on CR 4.5 Dev and AT&T 2.20 radio and I don't have the issues anymore.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] B1CB01:
My wifi doesn't fluctuate, I just have bad signal all the time ;_;

So I have spent the afternoon learning android development. I have modified a kernel and my learning mission is to compile and flash it successfully to my Motorola Xoom.

I have added a few features to try out. I've got as far as having it compiled to a zimage and my question is, how do I turn that into something I can flash in CWM?

Thanks for replies in advance.

guys i have g1 running fbl 5.2 .... SPL 1.33.0013d, radio 2.22.28.25 ... i wanna downgrade to 2.22.27.08...but i cant do it through recovery .... i did try changing to danger spl then running through recovery but no luck...... even in fastboot it showing update error.... can sum1 please give me simple steps to downgrade ??? thanks in advance....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well you can do either fastboot or recovery, depends if you are using an .img or .zip

if you are still with .13d then just use the recovery, if you are with danger spl use fastboot, then reflash the .13d spl again

.08 isn't actually a downgrade by the way, it is just a diffrent radio that is still compatible with the .13d spl - you may or may not get better reception with it over the .25

all the links are in ezterrys thread on the 2708+ update
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sousaptak:
i am current;y with 3d... i have tried several time flashing through recovery.... it show phone will restart automatically .. then it restarts in recovery showing "formatting cache" then nothing happens :( what m i doing wrong .. btw i am using this to flash update_2.22.27.08_S.zip from ezterrry....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
not to sure, what you are doing sounds right, when the phone reboots it should go to that firmware update mode (not sure what you call it) and you should see the android with the arrow after it is finished it should boot back to recovery and your done

if this doesn't happen then maybe you should just do the orange.nbh method. this will of course your os, recovery, radio, and spl. but you will keep root and your spl will have fastboot capabilities.

after you flash the orange.nbh from hboot, reboot into fastboot mode, flash recovery again, radio, then spl

now reboot into recovery and flash rom of choice.

I know this is a longer method but I've had to do it before when I screwed up my recovery and it works
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sousaptak:
well that andoid arrow thing happening before/after restart i dont correctly remember... but after doing so i went into fastboot it showed the 28 radio.... can you tell how to flash from fastboot i mean not the .zip but only the .img ? just simple steps will do :)

done bro... your guide for flashing helped... thanks :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark_X:
Noob question probably with a simple answer but i am a little confused so i'll ask.

I recently rooted my S3 and flashed the latest omega rom and siyah kernel, all is good for now.

I am on Android version 4.0.4, my question is when Jelly Bean is released and i want to update to it how do i go about it? Do i need to flash stock rom/firmware and upgrade via kies/OTA?

If i flash a Jelly Bean rom just now will my android version change to 4.1 or will i just have the jelly bean rom running on ICS :confused:

If someone could please explain it would be much appreciated, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realzahed:
U need 2 flash stock/official rom to get OTA updates from Samsung.

And if u flash Jelly beans then it wont be running upon ICS.

Ur version will change to 4.1 if u flash JB

[General Questions and Answers] PlugKnocker:
I'm using a DroidX. What is the suggested ratio for free space to used storage? Should more free space be available on the phone's memory?

Should all apps be moved to card?

Thanks for your time.
[General Questions and Answers] LordDarquess:
I always like to keep some space free on the SD card for making backups and stuff, but that's partly because I switch ROM's quite a bit, so I need to make backups rather a lot.

The Droid X has a decent amount of internal storage, more than the Desire S, anyway. You'd probably be OK keeping the apps on the phone's internal storage, but if you have a good sized SD card (16gb +, I'd say), I'd probably move all the apps to the SD card.

I always try to keep at least 10% storage free, so if I'm away anywhere and want to take a bunch of pictures or HD videos, I'll know I have enough space.

I hope I've helped!
[General Questions and Answers] anil293:
its better to move all your Apps If you have class 4/6/10 sd card then there will no performance issues and your internal memory will use less memory. try have atleast 50-200mb free of your internal memory for good performance..

Hello,

How can i back-up my game data without root?

I want to root my phone but i don't want to lose all the progress in my games.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sikiduck:
It's not possible unfortunately, to backup savefiles without root :/

BUT, some games, think it's only Gameloft games, stores savefiles automatic on the sdcard, but you have to look in folders on sdcard: "gameloft" and "games" to find gameloft files. Also see in the "data" folder or els on the sdcard :)

I would like to know also. I still have the stock rom, just rooted and was going to get ready for a new rom when I saw this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
This is an outdated thread from before the bootloader was unlocked. Basically, disregard what they are implying because the way flashing roms used to work is "different" than how it is now. Our bootloader was unlocked on August 15th, since that date, when you flash a rom the kernel is flashed as well. It's my understanding that this was not the case when our bootloader was locked prior to August 15th, only a rom was flashed not a kernel. The kernel remained the same throughout all the roms, it was the touchwiz stock kernel. As I said already, this is no longer the case.

Ignore this thread and read DroidStyle's guide in the Development Section if you have any questions regarding the flashing roms process. Also, backup your IMEI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
^what he said!

and to the op, Forever LS1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
the recovery is not the kernel

say yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
The question has no relevance when running a custom rom. It's there for reverting back to stock on a stock rom/returning original recovery.

Saying yes or no has zero impact unless your on stock rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FreeRefreshments:
I am currently running beans custom stock ROM v5 and I haven't ran synergy yet but I was wondering which ROM was better. Before I get Beans v6 I'd like to have some input on which ROM was better based on battery life/other things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
Well I started with bean R2 when I first rooted. Then tried synergy which my buddy had phenomenal battery life with. I however didn't even though I was running less and theoretically should have had better. I gave it a week but didn't see any improvement. Went back to bean but tried his updated 3.1. Was better than synergy In my opinion as far as battery life goes but had some quarks with it. Next day he came out with V5 so I flashed that. Had worse battery life than 3.1 but better than synergy. Meanwhile my buddy was still getting better battery life with his synergy. I decided to go back to the original R2 I had at first. It is the best performing For ME. I would try each and see what you like better. I was on my the boat all day today (again, currently running R2) and got 84% 12 hours. Keep in mind most of that was minimal use of texts and web browsing. Mist was screen off with with setcpu screen off profile (348). Still was nice to have a full day with it turned on even if screen was off and then still have a full battery to use when I got off the river.

For me...bean R2 for the win. I don't mind wiping and trying a promising ROM but I also like having a solid ROM that gets me what I want/need without having to worry about what the next new thing is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
I'm also using beans r6. Everything seems a lot smoother...but my phone does run hot. He has the default CPU set at 1.9 gighz. Sometimes it doesn't clock down with the app. I'm going to try synergy when they release the new version...but its hard not to like beans.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] platinumyahoo:
I used both, beans r5 kept rebooting on me but the battery life seemed better than stock. Then i switched to synergy 1.3 and it is an awesome rom. 4x5 homescreen alone is worth the upgrade from bean, but the battery is just a little less than bean r5. I have no tried r6 but i dont think i will because i just flashed CM10 an hour ago and couldint be happier. I forgot how much i miss stock android JB (used to have galaxy nexus). its a lot smoother and better to use and look at obviously. Only thing i dislike about the rom is the hardware buttons back and menu dont turn off they stay on if the screen is on, but its not that bad. I saw Flash CM10 you will be happy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
CM10 is a half working rom at this point, don't know how anybody uses it as a reliable daily driver, as for clocking on Bean's rom, you can control it yourself, just run the cpu bin from a terminal window, or use rom tools or setcpu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
I use beans but I use beans 3.1 before the stupid overclocked kernel and before kexec kernel /recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
the overclock issue is fixed...beans b6 rocks! actually i never had that issue anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FreeRefreshments:
I think I'm going to stick with beans r6 I'm loving the jelly bean theme. If your complaining about battery on beans because of the kernel just under clock it or use power saving, your phone will not run hot and you will get better battery life. If you want a higher clock speed use 1512 or 1674 MHz, you may run a little hotter and your battery may drop a little faster than if you were on power saving though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Saauron:
I have to disagree strongly with the assertion that CM10 is a "half working rom." If you're not one of the people experiencing data connectivity issues, the current bugs are: bluetooth audio, MMS, camera autofocus with stock camera app (for some), and that native wifi tethering only works unsecured (usb & bluetooth tethering work fine.)

I used it as my daily driver from 7/21 on, and the only thing I personally missed was secure wifi tethering. If the above bugs don't affect things that you use, CM10 is much snappier overall than any of the 4.0 based roms.

I actually decided to try Beans again just to see if I missed any touchwiz features (smart stay, direct dial, etc.)

synergy

I'm currently running synergy v1.3, but i liked v1.2 a lot better. Mainly because the grid size was changed so now widgets look a little weird on my phone =/ but other than that i haven't had a problem. Battery life is insanely good. I used bean's rom when it first came out, got me 50gb of dropbox for free which was awesome. The stock apps weren't on the first build though, that's why i switched over to synergy. I think Bean's rom has them back on though. I suggest trying them both and making backups, they're both very good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kabro91:
Yea Im running Beans v6 just upgraded from either 3 or 2, and yea its wicked fast. I guess with Synergy there are more themes but they should work on Beans too. Anyway it is definitely worth a try just backup beforehand :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] exoteric:
yeah synergy 1.4 just came out late last night, and it is nice with the google now baked in. try it out (:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
They are both good. It's a subjective preference and you won't know which you prefer until you try both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
LOL, all those bugs certainly sound like it is half working (or not working depending on how you look at it).

I tried it for a few days & will definitely agree that's it's way to buggy to be a daily driver at this point.

IMHO, to be a daily driver all the native functions the system came with have to work 100%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
Yeah synergy 1.4 is insanely snappy and quick. To a noticeable degree. I love v6 of beans though, but synergy just goes without having to be pushed :)

But I still use both just to get my flash fix, lol. Beans has more of what I'm looking for (aosp theme) with stock feel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryphez:
Just the thread I was looking for! I am currently getting tired of the random bugs with CM10, but I'm wondering if I can just flash Synergy or Beans the way I have been flashing CM10 builds using the Kexec recovery. It looks like Beans does this method, but I just want to confirm before I brick my phone

Synergy

I'm using Synergy atm and I love it so far..... Battery life is amazing....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adriang1984:
I think both are great RomS. I personally have synergy installed right now because it was just released. There are some things I like about synergy and some things I like about beans. With beans you can flash different kernels without any problems but when I try to flash different kernels on the synergy1.4 I keep getting bootloop. Beans and synergy both seem to be pretty good on batter but I also use CPU sleeper which might also help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deathbynukes:
Good call, I'm gonna start using CPU Sleeper now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 95talondsm:
Yeah. 1.4 isn't compatible with custom kernels, I'm waiting for a possible fix until I flash 1.4 just because Imoseyons lean kernel is amazing on this phone. I've gotten a day and a half on a single charge with 4 he's and 29 minutes in screen time..plus I also use CPU sleeper :) with the lean kernel you can also have your phone speed charge..and I mean really fast compared to stock.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sensui123:
I've heard so much about the Imoseyons kernel that I'm tempted to flash this as well. I know you need the new CWM recovery with kexec to get things running but is there any downfalls I should know about specifically about the kernel? Great feedback here between bean and synergy....my current dillema since I'm finally outgrowing the stock rooted rom (I envy all the crazy battery life reports I'm seeing though I'm very satisfied with the phone already as is freezing most bloat with titanium with minor mods here and there).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] C0ntr0lfr33k:
I like both ROMs but the 4x5 screens are messing with my widgets. Until there is a way to disable it I'll stick with stock rooted. Anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bleelas:
I know this probably isn't as helpful, but I'd highly encourage anyone debating about what to flash to just try them both. For one thing, that's part of the fun of rooting, but you'll also find that what ROM you choose is your own preference and not something someone can tell you. Kind of like Coke or Pepsi (Coke is better).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 95talondsm:
Honestly, I haven't had a downfall yet with this kernel and Rom combo. It can be very fast if it needs to be..I mean 1.9 ghz is crazy since my laptop is only 2 ghz. And it can be an absolute power saver if you want it to be. If you need any help withbanythinf, let me know and I'll be happy to assist you. I know some people are weary about kexec ( I know I was) but now I'm very comfortable with it.

I'm using synergy 1.4 and am loving it. Haven't tried Beans though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sensui123:
Thanks a bunch for the offer, yeah I'm a tad nervous with kexec but everything seems routine on the surface for end users, seems lik eyou just have to use CWM 6.0.1.0 and you're good to go flashing everything else as usual. Quite frankly I was waiting for a possible bootloader exploit (and it still might come who knows), but it's been long enough on the sidelines and I don't see any disadvantages from the kexec workaround other than slightly longer boot times (does not matter to me....I'm used to a blackberry booting for 15-20 min prior to this lol). I appreciate the feedback, I think I'm going to start backing up and try to get into the synergy 1.4+lean kernel mix. :good:

By any chance, any of you guys have experience replacing stock touchwiz apps on the synergy roms with aosp apps? Main things for me = email and messaging that I prefer....the replacement is trivial and works good on the stock rooted roms....was just wondering if it causes issues for synergy. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LostInEthereal:
I have limited experience with Beans (only ran R3.1 so far, Build6 isn't working), but I've used all the Synergy ROMs released so far and I do like them quite a bit. I'm fairly new to the android experience as a whole, so I've been diving in head first and trying just about every darn thing I can run on my N7 and GS3.

I don't really have much to say about Beans, as stated I've only tried R3.1 thus far and Build6 keeps bootlooping with some "file not found" error that I can't read fast enough before it reboots again (I plan to play around with this more and figure it out, just strapped for time this evening)..

I am enjoying the Synergy releases though. So far they have been the most stable of the ROMs that I've ran (AOKP, CM9/10, Paranoid and Synergy), in regards to FC, ghosting/flickering, lost phone #/data (Yes, I realize this is a known problem for these other ROMs, just stating my experience), and all around usability. Pretty snappy and very smooth. I intend to use 1.4 as my DD while I play around some more. I was using stripped stock for awhile (and in some ways I prefer that, because it's got less bloat).

I'm having a blast trying them all out, so that would be my only recommendation (rather than one vs the other)...
