thanks for your links, it seems that ad-detector just improve the presentation of applications permissions

and i understand why you advise me a firewall for applications which doesnt need an access to the internet and block there communication but is there a solution for all the application which need an internet access as facebook ?

i imagine something that just block the access of application to the personal data.

thanks for your help !

Hi All,

I am not new to the rooting and flashing the ROMS stuff... i have Galaxy 3 and i know all the flashing tricking with CWM and ODIN..

the question is i m going to buy the phone (NEXUS S) from a persons u have i dont know, but i think boot-looped his phone, he is saying after flashing ICS his phone was working for 2 days then all of sudden it restart and its now stuck on Google screen

i want to know if phone can go to the download mode by pressing the combo HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER button or to the recovery then phone is not hard brick and one can easily bring it back... ?

As long as u see Google logo you are safe. Just use the key combination to enter the recovery mode and flash a ROM and u should be fine.

Thnx.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
It's my understanding that if you accept and flash the OTA after unlocking the S3, it will most likely be bricked. I read that one needs to rename FWUpgrade.apk, FWUpgrade.odex, SDM.apk and SDM.odex to block the OTAs, but I cannot find either of those files anywhere on the phone. I also read that tamper/unlock checking done by VZW (?) can be blocked as well, but couldn't find what files needed to be deleted or renamed, nor where those files are. Could someone take a few moments and explain the process(es) of blocking OTA updates and VZW/Samsung unlock checks? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Good question, also interested!

I wonder, if the files aren't there, if they may have been removed by the rom.

What rom are you using? Or is the phone otherwise stock?

OT: but I find it kind of backwards that they'd work to lock it back up. It's a niche community that was able to unlock it and we're obviously blatantly avoiding the locked bootloader. Locking it, I'm sure, would cause an increased number of insurance claims if it does indeed brick phones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Well I think a post-unlock OTA flash hosing up phones has more to do with software issues than VZW trying to lock them back up. To answer your question, I am running SynergyROM and I have read in several places that the OTA blocking was incorporated, but I just wanted to make sure of that. I'd much rather they renamed the files than deleted them, in case they were needed in the future for OTA reasons or for some other issue that may arise. Generally speaking, renaming is always better than deleting. Memory is abundant and unless it is a 2GB file, why not just rename instead?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Agreed. It would also be easier to confirm the files were indeed modified (blocked)

[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
OK, so now I am flashing ROMs here and there, am I right in saying that I need to keep my battery calibrated in the software? Does it need to know where 0% and 100% is eery time I flash a brand new ROM?

Thanks,
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
My experience has been that you need to let the battery cycle through a few times (not to zero, though) and it will adjust. I'm not sure that calibration actually works. You could just flash a new rom when fully charged and wipe battery stats in "advanced" and that might help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] paddycr:
There's a nice app in the Play Store called Battery Calibration that will do this for. I run it after the first full charge after flashing a new rom.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
Why shouldn't I go right down to 0?
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I think that it's not good to discharge lithium ion batteries all the way...better to top them off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
IMO, Nothing wrong about it. As long as you don't do it every time you charge your tablet it won't kill your battery. It serves as a way to reset/resync your device. In my experience discharging it until the device auto shuts down then charge too 100% then use Battery Calibration has extended my playing time with my Infinity. The overall health of my battery is still very solid. I've been doing it like this for a couple of years now with all the tablets/phones I've owned.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dough30i:
battery life

So what ya saying is let it played out til the battery dies couple time or what?
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
That's what I think you have to do, just so the software knows where 0% is
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
Yes. Let it shut down on its own. For best result, once it shuts down plug it in. It will boot up. Turn off the screen and leave it charging till its at 100% You can then use Battery Calibration or unplug it. What I found out in my experience to keep the battery healthy after is to make sure to charge it within a certain percentage. For me I wait till 20% to charge sometimes 15% when I get a warning to plug it in. If whenever I mess up on a charge and it unplugs before a full charge, I will just leave it unplugged and discharge it once again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Wiping battery stats is completely useless. Here's a post from Dianne Hackborn official Android developer on this topic.

https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
Well it seems to be getting a little better but still I am not looking at 9 hours and probably more like 6.5 which is far from what I would like. Would I keep just going from 100 to 0 until I see some good results ? Its getting to nearly a week old now and the battery is hardly any better than when I out it. I am sill thinking its cos I was flashing the rooms. Flashed to he Zeus and back a couple of times now. I am now on stock. I am pretty sure its not because I turned it straight on with the 15% they gave me and charged it from there instead of charging for 8 ours or whatever hey say.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
And to add to the problems, it seems Asus for the life of them cannot figure out how to attach a screen to the main body. Right down my left side is that annoying clicking noise, worse than my second prime, not as bad as he first. Tap the home button, squeak, anywhere in the top left corner, squeak. So annoying. I guess I will just have to see how it pans out because even though unlocking the deice has nothing to do with this, my warranty is gone. Maybe someone will figure out how to open the device and figure out how to reattach the screen. 3 tablets, same problem, just ridiculous.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
Its not a matter of figuring it out. Its just like the Prime on how to open it. The question is, who is willing to open there Infinity. Erusman, from the Prime forum undertook that and in the end was able to fix light bleed and modded his tablet for better wifi/gps. Although it kinda looks like Frankenstein, it worked. The light bleeding was just a matter of the screws all along the display was too tight which caused stress on the screen. After he loosened the screws, it eliminated the light bleed completely. I'm pretty sure it is the same situation with our Infinity's.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
Aside from that shocking problem, here are my current battery stats. It seems extremely quick to charge. I though it was supposed to take at least 3 hours. I seem to be well under that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dough30i:
In 4 to 5 hrs the most that's when I watch movie and TV straight full charge and even in power saving mode 30% dim no blue tooth sync off, I thought I were getting 8hrs, nope I was wrong, unless I'm doing something wrong here or need calibrating the battery right idk.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maedox:
Looks like you and I are alone in this forum on this. I have tried explaining this to people around the web but no one listens. Check how everyone just ignored your post. Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

It's simply reading the voltage from the battery, and that's it. There's no magic behind it. Calibration is useless.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
So why do batteries need to be worn n after new roms?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
There is something wrong about it. Li-Ion batteries lose max capactiy every time you let them go down to 0%. You should only fully cycle 1 time upon receiving your TF700 in order to calibrate the battery. After that, you should always top off.

Case in point: my dock maxes out at 96-97% now after being dissipated down to 0% about 10-20 times. My Tablet however still goes to the full 100%. My old Samsung Netbook had its Li-Ion battery completely discharged on accident for about a month when I was on vacation. It lost like 10% of its rated run-time when I recharged it. Do NOT let your Li-Ion batteries go to 0% if you can avoid it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Well you know everyone likes to believe that some fairy dust makes their phone faster ;).
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
I heard that it doesn't discharge to 0% it shuts down before it gets to low to function. Your right one or two times is plenty good enough.

My phone downloaded an OTA and keeps bugging me to install it, which I actually want to do. Trouble is, when it reboots it goes into the recovery menu where I installed my root from. It asks where I want to install the update from. Can I point this to where the OTA was downloaded? If so, where is that? Otherwise, how can I get this update installed so it will stop bugging me?

I rooted but kept everything stock so I thought I can use the OTA updates....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Khilbron:
The short answer is yes you can accept OTA Updates while rooted, I know this because I have accepted 3 different OTA's on my GS3 while being rooted. However you can never accept an OTA when you have a custom recovery. Anytime you want to accept an OTA you need to hop on over to Odin, and flash the stock recovery, otherwise the OTA will fail.

Head on over here http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/sprint-sgs3-stock-restore.html

and read up on how to restore your stock recovery, this will allow you to accept the OTA, and then just reroot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Khilbron:
Again as mentioned in my post above yours, if you are trying to install an OTA update, you cannot do so with a custom recovery, you must be on a stock recovery to install an OTA update. Custom recoveries are only for custom flashes. So as a rule, Custom installs Custom, Stock installs Stock.
