[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
What was the maximum clock?

It's stable only under 800 mhz.

So that was a bad idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Sebayxxl16:
Well not quite... i puted on 846MHz and just rebooted phone... When i changed my CPU Max clock to 846MHz it lagged and i took out battery, put it back in and it worked fine... It's true thet CPU Max clock went to factory set on 604MHz :)

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

CPU Max Clock on my Honey Cream 4.0.3 is 846MHz

So i think taht you cant put it higher... well someone did get to 910 MHz
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
My max is 787 mhz. Maybe my phone can handle more, but I never tried it.

Is anyone else having GPS issues in the Houston area? My Nexus 7 and and E4GT GPS isn't locking. My E4GT is on a custom ROM, but my Nexus 7 is just stock rooted and I can't get a lock. Using the Phone Tester app and they're not locking. Just constantly searching.

Edit: Tested on my friend's Evo 4G and he's getting an issue too. If we try to use Navigation it keeps saying "Searching for GPS. I don't think this is Sprint related since I said my Nexus 7 can't get a lock. This just started happening today.

I've having the issue too - only seems to be an issue with apps from certain devs. I've emailed the author of the app to see what's app. I'll post my finding when they reply...

I'm still able to purchase most apps with the credit without issue though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Ha! The author of the apps that I can't seem to purchase responding saying they they don't know why and basically told me to contact Google to find out why. I politely responded that *they* should contact Google - not me! Like I told them, they are the ones that are losing the sale here!

Not real encouraged by their "customer service", so I probably won't buy their apps anyway now!

By the way, the apps that I cannot seem to buy are from "Elecont Software" - the particular app that I wanted to buy was "eRadar HD". I'll just look for alternatives now....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
That's the same app I was trying to buy! Ended up buying it with real money anyways, and it's a great radar app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagelicious:
Do you guys know where the dev lives by any chance? I was trying to buy an app from a guy in Barcelona, Spain and he was guessing it had something to do with Google not having all of their payment services up and running there. If he is correct then yes, it isGoogle problem that the devs can't fix. :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Actually, I think I "mis-interpreted" the authors reply... After telling them politely that I think *they* should contact Google, they replied again stating that they have been trying to contact Google about this issue without any response and just figured that I, as a customer, may get a reply. Then, they even gave me their "main" app for free (gave me a redemption code to register it to the full version for free) in order to compensate me for my time in trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Their "main" app is titled "Eweather HD, Radar HD, Quakes" and actually costs $5.99! So, they made it worth it for me to contact Google! :)

So, I did just that - I've emailed Google support about the issue - I'll report my findings.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffmena93:
Hey guys I've been experiencing random freezes on my phone mainly while connected to the internet,the phone freezes and completely stops working, I can hit the home button infinite times that nothing happens, I can lock the screen but they I can not do anything, so I then have to press the power and lock key until it reboots! This has happened to me 4 times just today two times using the browser, 1 time using Opera Mini and 1 time on the XDA app!

I have searched but what I found is people with the issue, no answers!

I'm running the stock UK firmware flashed through odin the XXALE8, with the latest LH1 modem flashed through CMW, and rooted with the S3 toolkit method! Just that, have had the phone for 7 days and this started happening 2 days ago and the phone has been rooted since the second day.

Anyone knows what this is related to? If removing root will help and if I should change the modem to another one (which one?)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Flash the XXBLG8 firmware via Odin.

I've never experienced that problem but it wouldn't hurt to be on the latest firmware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffmena93:
Thanks for your reply! So the XXBLG8 is the latest one? If it is then I will download it right away! Oh and would it still be good to flash the LH1 modem? Or should I stay with the one it comes with?

Thanks again, I'll do that and let you know! And as an update, in te afternoon I wiped cache, and dalvik just to see if it would do anything but without success! And about an hour ago I found out that the freezes would occur whenever I enable the syncing! And I had to reboot it 4 times until I could disable the syncing, I don't know what this means, but it might be helpful!

You don't need that update in NeoMax since Neo made his own GSM patch.

[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
You won't be able to use all the features in the update until Neo updates his ROM.

If you just want to run NeoMax with the new hboot and radios it may work, but I would wait until Neo updates the ROM.

If you really want the new features you have to either wait for the Rom to update, run the stock rom, or use Neo's GSM patch.

Neo is fast with updates, so I don't think you'll have to wait long.

[HTC One X] FIRESTARYA:
Hey my phone contract is expiring soon and I am looking into a new phone. I am debating between the One X and the Galaxy S3. My preferences are good camera quality, video quality, fluent screen response, a crisp screen HD like, and good internet connection/battery. Can anyone recommend one? :)
[HTC One X] massalami:
it's not like you can search for the answer in the 1000+ threads with the same topic and question on this forum, right? that seems like a looot of work and reading, right?

well, if you want the better phone, hox is definitely the way to go, as the 4.0.4 update + the camera mod will give you what you want, but you'll have to deal with us, obnoxious hox owners with a superiority complex and follow the forum rules, because that's how we roll :D
[HTC One X] FIRESTARYA:
Thank you. I guess I could've searched its just I'm on my phone so I don't want to waste time scrolling through pages Lol
[HTC One X] massalami:
I understand lol i just wanted to be a smartass too.

well, like I said. the 4.0.4. update makes the phone run smoothly, getting ridiculously high benchmark scores, which were the main bragging rights point for th gs3 owners.

battery life was also improved and with faux kernel plus hamdir's gaming app/mod, you should be able to play games without any lags

the camera is improved and with the onexed mod by abo-mara, it gets amazing results.

the screen is miles ahead the gs3 and in terms of build quality, it's quite subjective, but it looks better imo, although I've never held a gs3 to say it feels better, but the hox just feels great imo.

only problem, and for some people it's a huge one, is that there is no s-off yet. you can only root by unlocking the phone at htc-dev, and that may and probably will, void your warranty. if that's not a deal breaker, the phone is definitely a great purchase, specially since the hox community here in xda-dev is amazing and the devs rock!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dansushi:
I'm having a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (rooted, but no custom ROM) through AT&T where it's losing battery power at a much higher rate than normal every once in a while.

Specifically, today, I was using the GPS feature and charging it in my car, and yet, even though it said it was charging, the battery continued to lose charge. Also, in the past, the phone has lost charge very quickly, and when I check the battery usage, "Android System" is very high on the list, up to 60% (with "Screen" being at 11%, which is usually the biggest culprit for me since I leave the screen on a lot). One time, I went to bed at around midnight and had forgotten to plug in my phone. When I woke up it was off. I turned it back on and looked at the battery stats using 3c's Battery Monitor Widget and saw that it lost charge quite slowly until about 5am, when suddenly the usage went up dramatically, and the phone went from about 60% to 0% in the course of an hour and a half of non-use.

Because this is not a problem I can reproduce on command, I'm not sure exactly what application/process is causing it. Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone else experienced things like this happening before? (Besides me having to pay for the "betterbatterystats" app?)

Edit: Also, "Android System" sometimes is sometimes listed as "gsiff_daemon" in the battery stats, and within 3c's Battery Monitor Widget, Android System is separate from "gsiff_daemon", where gsiff_daemon's usage is almost 15 times the usage of Android System.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] J M L:
Checkout this thread to see if the gsiff_daemon is your problem. tl;dr when the system is hot and tearing through the battery, go to system settings -> Developer options -> and check Show CPU usage. If gsiff_daemon is the top or second highest on the list, then that is your problem. To solve it for the moment, use system tuner, or something else, to kill gsiff_daemon. There is no permanent cure at the moment, other than to delete gsiff_daemon. Both of those fixes require root, the non-root fix is to reboot.

If gsiff_daemon is not on the list, then something else is the problem, but Show CPU Usage should give you an idea of what system process is running hard.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dansushi:
Samsung Push problem

J M L,

Thanks for the information. I'll do that if the problem arises again. However I also did something else that looks like it may have been the solution for my particular problem, which was disabling the "Samsung Push" service in the Application Manager. So far, my battery life has gone back down to very reasonable levels.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] windstrings:
Interesting, I installed "micro cpu monitor" shows thin line at top of screen showing both cores.

I haven't had this happen for some time now but after playing with google play and maps downloading offline maps etc I noticed my 2nd core pegged out.

Having seen this in the past & ignoring it I now realize that majorly drains the battery as well as it getting warm.

A simple reboot seems to be the only thing that fixes it. Clearing ram and closing recent screens dies nothing to clear the "cpu jam".

If left alone, it always shows the culprit as "android system"

As to what part of "android system" I don't know.

But until we figure this out for good, that little micro cpu monitor. App is sweet for peace of mind to know all is well or whether a reboot is needed. For what it's worth, I also noticed that after the event, that my auto rotate to landscape was mysteriously unchecked?

If it jams again, I'll have to see if it gets unchecked again, unknown if there is a relation.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] themadproducer:
I read the thread about gsiff_daemon culprit. I had it listed as a possible battery drain culprit. The thread says the issue may happen after a hot reboot...which I did have. Killing gsiff_daemon was not immediately effective. I renamed the file so it wouldn't get used...like the thread recommended. I had to reboot to get normal battery drain back and have yet to see the issue again. But i wont know for some time...or maybe when/if i get a hot reboot...which is really rare. Do yourself a favor, and buy better battery stats. Its a must have tool...and it's not expensive.

I wonder if this problem has been solved with latest lj7 jellybean from sprint
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eatonjb:
so with some trial and error i found some resolutions ..

first, i used Watchdog and it told me that the media services is killing battery too.

so doing a full wipe does not always fix this.. but what does, is reboot and wait about 1 hour charging and it will calm down. this was just something i noticed. so what i did is wipe out my SD cards, both of them, cleared them out 100% formatted the External SD, and used recovery to format the internal. From there it seem to work, i put my stuff back, and it seems ok.

problem is, when you install a lot of rom's and have bad reboots some files get messed up and you have to do it all over again..

problem was with AOPK, CM and TW roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] themadproducer:
My experience with froyo/gb/ics is that things have been getting progressively better over the years. But with each so called UPGRADE of an OS or even APPS, we often have to deal with bugs or incompatibilities. I am eager to upgrade to a stock based JB soon, but wisdom says, for 20 things improved, there will be 5 things broken....or hurting in some way. Early adopters suffer the most as usually these issues get ironed out...most of them.

BUT...these stuck drains...wake locks etc., it seems they will happen when they do no matter how many issues get fixed. Over the years, I've had random standby drains caused by Maps/Nav. Maybe it's ok for months, then after a particular update, it's back...and unpredictable. The YES...a reboot, just like with a PC, is a quick short term workaround.

Finally, with the App CURRENT WIDGET, there is a provision to watch for high drain in standby. It watches MilliAmp (ma) readings over time..to determine if you have a rogue drain. That's different than monitoring the CPU. (Some drains do not cause much CPU activity) BUT UNFORTUNATELY, that app won't work with our S3's because of a lack of hardware support. Works great with HTC and many others. It's a bummer because I used to use it and have my HD2 reboot if a 15min consecutive high drain was recorded in standby....thereby saving the battery and usually killing the bug. :(

Curious if anyone else has had an issue like mine and if you were able to resolve it.

Some of the music I have uploaded displays differently on my phone than it does on my PCs and tablet (Asus Transformer Pad TF300T, Android 4.0.3). As an example, my PCs and tablet show 16 albums and 102 tracks for AC/DC, which is correct. However, my phone shows 21 albums and 115 tracks. Some of the albums are listed twice, once with only a few tracks and once with all of the tracks. On my phone I have cleared the cache and resynched, uninstalled and reinstalled updates, and powered off and back on. I have done all of these multiple times in different order. I have also deleted all the music from my account and reuploaded it. Today, I did all of that again and deleted the com.google.android.music folder. Still having the same issue.

I emailed support about this and the reply I got was that it was a metadata issue. I replied that it couldn't be since it's my phone that is displaying incorrectly while my PC and tablet are fine. I haven't heard anything else form them.
