Problem s not with the watsapp..try to use some battery saver apps then check it.

Sent from my HTC
[Android Apps and Games] cornelha:
The problem here is not the app, its not the rom or the device. The problem here is simply that using data drains the battery, speciall when on 3G. Battery drain is just one of those things we have to deal with when we have smart phones. They do more than ordinary dumb phones. Using the 3G radio will greatly decrease the charge because its constantly negotiating for signal and shunting data back and forth. If you want to decrease the drain, chat less, switch to 2G only, send less pics/vids/birthday cards from random website that looks cute.
[Android Apps and Games] Bozmo:
Thanks for the Whatsapp Plus suggestion! Greatly improved my battery life with a simple dark theme change! Stock Whatsapp colours are waay too bright!
[Android Apps and Games] gdencio:
It's a bit strange, my battery drained a lot for the last few days after upgrading Whatsapp to the new version 2.9.4207. my battery drains faster than before, if i could have 1 day with 3G on, it is now only up to 3 hours maximum..

i hope it is not app that causes the problem since i relied on it too much to communicate with frenz..

i'm using An Xperia P btw
[Android Apps and Games] aniefer:
I also have been experiencing increased battery drain in the past few days. The only recent change I have made is installing Whatsapp.
[Android Apps and Games] cornelha:
The problem here is not that the app is not well written, but the fact that the app uses data. Any application that uses data constantly will drain your battery, a hot phone usually indicates 3G use, 3G radios tend to get hot when they are used for extended periods. The same thing happens to a USB 3G Modem. The only way to prevent your battery going flat so quick, would be to stop using the device. There is an application somewhere that actually disables your radio (wifi or 3G) for a period, puts the device into deep sleep and then wakes it up to check for notifications. This might help a bit with your problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
I get hundreds of emails every day and I currently get a notification but no audio tone or vibrate as it would be going crazy. This is how I want my general email notifications set up. So that part is fine. What I do want however is for starred messages to play a tone/vibrate similar to my text messages. I went into Gmail and then Manage Labels within the menu and I confirmed that 'Starred' is set to sync all and ring, vibrate, notify once. This to me seems like it should be notifying the way I just described that I'm looking for but there is no different notification for starred messages the way I had hoped. What am I doing wrong here?

Anyone? I can't seem to get this to work no matter what I do.
[General Questions and Answers] darryl_co:
Hi,

I have a Spice Mi-270 dual sim, GSM, Android 2.2 version mobile phone.Recently when I closed the app "Smart Shehar", I got a vertical hair-line red line on the left hand side of the screen that has become permanent on every screen.Yesterday when used the exit in the menu of TubeMate I got another horizontal white line at the lower end across the phone answer key(where we drag to the right to answer phone call).

I tried removing the battery for a while, removing the memory card and the SIM cards.When nothing worked I even factory resetted the phone (Settings >>Privacy >>Factory data reset).I do not doubt the fault to be in the LCD display as the lines arrived after shutting down apps.During warranty similar red line at the same area had come which disappeared automatically on restarting the phone.

But even that did not help.To my good badluck The phone has just completed its warranty period about two weeks before.

Has anyone faced this problem? Is there any solution for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x_Mischka_x:
My CDMA radio seems to fail all OTA updates, but for some reason the LTE radios do not. I as of now have a baseband version of L700.05 V.FC12 / L700.FG01, and I am running stock, unrooted, locked, 4.0.4. My 3g does seem to be working relatively normally, but I really don't feel like being stuck so many updates behind.

Is there basically no way of resolving this issue other than unlocking and manually updating the radios? Because while it certainly is an option, I don't really feel like wiping if I don't have to.

i have used the jb rom on my sg3, so far so good... when i try to go to a 4.0.4 rom, it stay stucked on the samsung logo...

how can i fully reset the phone on 4.0.4?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
tried factory reset?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfMails:
use your backup in recovery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123shree:
You have to do a data wipe in recovery to fix that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demondor:
Do a full wipe. Factory reset + wipe cache, dalvik and system
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
First step would be to do a full wipe I.e. data+cache+dalvik..if it does not work..then wipe system partition..be careful as this step will erase everything from your internal memory..

PS. Coming from leaked jb..install stock ics first via odin..reboot check if wifi works..if yes then go ahead and flash aosp based roms.. otherwise you might face wifi issues..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhariamine:
Go to ClockWorkMod:

1- Turn off Your device

2- Press and hold this combination: up volume - menu button - power button

3- When you're in Clockwork mod search and choose factory reset4

4- Then confirm factory reset and use Pc Odin and flash a new ROM in Download Mode

Hope this helped

PS: Factory reset will erase everything So backup ur files, but in your case it's not necessary knowing that it's stuck in bootloader

Download mode for PC ODIN flash:

-turn off you device

-Download Mode: Press and hold :down volume button - menu button - power button

-After that connect ur device via USB to your PC

-choose the Stock Rom from Odin "DISABLE or UNCHECK REPARTITION"and and flash your device it'll take like 3mins or less to flash on SGS3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
This advice does not really help in my view .

Why factory reset then flash via Odin = wipe twice .

Odin does not have a stock rom . That may confuse the OP . >?> Its flash a stock rom via Odin .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
In my opinion the best option to restore stock firmware (and partition layout) is flashing three-file firmware by Odin with repartition option (and of course mx.pit). It will make all needed wipes after flash in recovery after selfreboot. All needed commands are set in executable script which is running after flashing. After that you may flash newest firmware by FOTA, Kies or Odin, as you wish.

All you need is download a correct for Your location version with separate PDA, CSC and MODEM and mx.pit.

Of course there is always a danger related to repartition so You need to do it with caution.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
You DON'T need to flash the pit file unless you've somehow screwed up your partitions and have corrupted them. Flashing a pit file is one of the fastest ways to brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing and use the wrong one...

Just put the full stock update file in PDA and flash as it has the pit repartition in the file already. However, DON'T tick the repartition box...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichrypko:
tryied a factory reset and now restoring another rom to see if it works... the main issue is that it keep at the samsung logo after reboot. ok JB, any attempt of put the ccw makes the phone stuck on the boop on a vibrate loop (1 long/3 shorts)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tlo218:
Besides getting software releases first, why would anyone choose a Gnex over a s3? Development? Prolonged support? Hate for Touchwiz? Had plenty of development and support for my Captivate. Software can only do what the hardware can support. Why limit your capabilities? Less ram, only a 5MP camera, and slower processor. I waited 3+ months for s3 instead of getting a Gnex.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unleashed12:
Honestly the only reason i can ever see anyone picking the gnex over the siii these days is for the dev support (Jb and other updates right away) and the attractive price it is offered for in the states if you buy from the play store. Otherwise theres nothing else.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] megagodx:
Prolonged support? Galaxy S III will have it as well, the support is still in its infancy though

Hate for touchwiz? There's always Nova/Apex Launchers for that

Development? Whatever the Gnex gets, the GS3 will likely get it too at some point

Software updates first? Galaxy S III will always get the samething eventually, JB builds are progressively getting more stable

It's really short-term benefits vs. long-term gains. If you like the short-term benefits and the cheaper price tag, Galaxy Nexus is for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK003:
Another thing you might add is that I can easily get 16-20 hours out of my phone. It's a very solid built phone with fantastic support. I own the unlocked GSM model sold by Google. I just bought the S3 because it's so damn sexy. The GNex is nice, just not as slim and sexy as the S3. :)

IMO the GNex is the all-round best phone out. Some other phone are better in certain areas, but the GNex really does what it needs to very well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tlo218:
I paid $100 for my s3 from ATT and I can easily get 20+ hours out of my battery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK003:
What's your setup?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JB calhoun:
I get 15-18 everyday on the s3 with jb

Edit... i can see where this is going...but it all comes down once again to user experience
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tlo218:
Stock, non-rooted. Waiting to play with official JB before I root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
you'll be waiting a long time my friend. I suggest rooting now and trying aokp jb. Its pretty damn stable for a preview.

If developer support wasn't as strong as it currently is on the s3 I would definitely be considering the gnex though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sn8kbordin:
How long is a long time? A month?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
id guess late September to November at the earliest

On a side note, cm10 just released its nightlies. I'm running it now and its pretty stable
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
You might want to ask this question in the GNEX forum. You're asking why choose a Nexus over an S3. But most of us have chosen an S3 over a GNEX which is why we are in this forum. I guarantee you'll hear a whole different range of answers over there. lol

But hoenstly, GNEX is last year's hardware and even then, even the SGS2 matched it in *some* harwdware specs. Other than updates and some really good dev support there really isn't much else. Perhaps this year's round of Nexus devices may look more promising

At the end of the day its all choice though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NightStalkerDNS:
Hey Guys

I have FXP132-cm9 installed on my device. But since I installed this, none of the new FXP 133-cm9/cm10 nor FXP 134-cm9/10.

I flashed the ROM from recovery, flashed gapps, wipped the caches. Then rebooted into fastboot and flashed the kernal. Then on reboot it just gets stuck FreeXperia logo and never goes past that.

Then if I reboot into recovery again and try to flash the ROM again, it gives me an error 7. assert failed. L26a, L26i, nozomi. Then none of the ROMS work. I have to restore from previous backup in order to get my device working again.

Any ideas on what I can do?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
Assert fails because you may format /system. It causes product name to be removed. Next time avoid doing this.

For this time, extract updater-script from the zip, remove the assert command and then replace the old updater-script.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NightStalkerDNS:
Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks for the feedback.

I did manage to get it working. I first flashed the boot.img, then installed the rom and cleared dalvik cache, then it working perfectly fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gorestav:
Hello, could you please post the steps you took when updating? I've tried tons of methods now and always get stuck on the FXP logo...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fareeed:
> First make a nandroid! IMPORTANT

> Flash Bin4ry's recovery image <here> (Instructions in thread)

> Reboot phone and it will automatically boot into recovery

> Format /system

> Wipe data/factory reset

> Wipe Dalvik Cache

> Flash ROM

> Flash GApps

> Reboot and let the initial setup take place (Not sure whether this is necessary but just do it to be safe)

> Reboot into recovery

> Go into backup and restore, choose advanced restore, select your backup and select restore /data

> Finally reboot and you should be upgraded with all your data preserved

Click thanks if I helped, if it goes wrong just restore from your nandroid backup :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gorestav:
At the step from the guide above where i'm about to restore my /data I get an error message like this:

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/

Anyone have a solution?

THANKS
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S_Xperia_S:
CM & FXP = lost radio signal :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NightStalkerDNS:
The steps I did to upgrade is this:

- Download the FXP version you want. (If on Xperia S, make sure its the nozomi one)

- Extract the zip file to any directory on your PC and also copy the zip file to your SDcard

- Shut down your device

- Boot into fastboot (Hold the volume up key while putting usb cable in. Blue LED will come on and nothing else

- Open command prompt or terminal and navigate to the adb directory

- Flash boot.img via fastboot: fastboot flash boot ~/Path/To/boot.img

- Then disconnect the device from the host machine and boot into recovery

- Flash zip from SDCard, select zip put on above

- Flash gapps

- Wipe dalvik cache and nothing else

You should be able to reboot the device now without any issues. And all your existing apps and settings will still exist as you had it before if you are upgrading from previous FXP version.

Good luck

Here to confirm that this method works for me after trying so many different ways to get it to boot. Thanks!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] footbal9584:
Ok first off I don't know a whole lot about figuring this stuff out, but trying to learn.So while poking around the zip for the ota update I came across the ATT Readytogo.apk, could we put the original one in there that allowed us to get root and then install the update. Would the original apk stay and allow us to use that exploit to gain root on 2.2 if you did not originally have it or lost it.

I don't know if this is even close but thought it might work. I am still running 1.85 rooted so not too comfortable with testing this.

Let me know what you smart people think.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
The one issue with this is once you modify the ota zip it ruins the signature and it will no longer pash the signature verification and it will fail
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Ready2Go is patched. Regardless, even on the old exploitable version, required an app to be installed from ATT's side....which they disabled.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alecjake:
Hello everyone,

I just bought my S3 last Sunday. Since then I have noticed several issues with it and I'm wondering if it's worth exchanging. They seem to be both software and hardware issues.

1. It's pretty laggy. For such a "groundbreaking" phone this is lagging much more than my old Sensation. It's rarely smooth switching between screens and going from lock screen to home screen is also laggy. Overall, it's not very smooth. Is this common on this device? Maybe I'm expecting too much.

2. The music player skips and repeats A LOT. Whenever a song is playing, it will constantly have gaps in the music. It will just stop playing for a brief second but then continue normally. It also will repeat parts of a song, such as saying some lyrics twice.

3. Whenever someone calls me, my voice sounds "distant" to them. If I call someone my voice sounds totally normal but when I receive the call I am either echoing or I sound like I'm holding my phone away from my face.

I guess my biggest problem is the lag. It really bothers me since it's supposed to be such an amazing and smooth phone. It takes several times longer to load apps and things than my old Sensation did, and I don't have many apps installed at all. Opening the app drawer is consistently laggy as well.

Are these common issues or do you guys think it would be worthwhile to exchange the phone? As of right now, I'm not very pleased with it.

Thanks for all your input, guys!

Edit: Also, whenever I hit the home button it takes several seconds to load it up. Is there a way to speed this up?

Also, I am not rooted yet. I always like to spend a few weeks with the stock setup before rooting.

Edit 2: Last thing, S Voice is a piece of **** on this. Literally. It takes FOREVER to load up and RARELY does what I say. Does this actually work for you guys or is S voice generally useless?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elracing21:
Not common at all. Exchange.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alecjake:
thanks! i'll exchange it tomorrow. Are the S3's generally pretty smooth? Any lag at all?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_Biz:
Smooth as butter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you tried installing the latest OTA? It may help with some of your problems. For the home key lag, double press to open s voice, then go into settings and turn off double press home to open.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wyuan:
1. Try this. Settings >Developer Options > Window animation scale ->change to 0.5x or off. Transition animation scale >animation is off

Also make sure Do not keep activities under developer options is unchecked. Check it first then uncheck it. This should solve the redraw issue on teh homescreen (at least it did for me)

2. Did not happen to me

3. Turn off noise reduction
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stir fry a lot:
For the distant sound issue open the dialer>call settings>additional settings>uncheck noise reduction. Even running unrooted the interface should be very smooth however.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alecjake:
that is yet another odd thing about my device. it claims I have the latest OTA, when I know I don't. Also, it says the music hub is still unavailable (even though I know several people who have it running)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I haven't actually used s-voice myself, but a lot of reviews said it wasn't very good.

Another thing you can try for the lag you mentioned is in Developer Options, change the Force GPU Rendering option.

Also try limiting background processes to 3 or 4. Though you shouldn't have to resort to this. If other options don't work id still take it back for exchange.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alecjake:
I just tried all the things you listed in number 1 and it is definitely faster, in a way. When I click the home button, the wallpaper pops up immediately. The apps however take significantly longer to load up and the app drawer still takes quite a while to load. I think I am stuck with a return. Thank you for all your help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vorfidus:
To speed up the home screen button:

Double tap home screen (bring up s-voice)

Tap menu softkey

Tap settings

Uncheck launch s-voice

You will need to do this with your new device as well.

And s-voice is generally useless, or as far as I've found.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sarni84:
Yea s-voice makes home button laggy. And have u tried to factory reset it?
