I too had lags, here's some things you can try, mines now smooth as butter:

1: Download Sysctl config and set minfree kbytes to 8096 (9096 if on ICS or JB)

2: Use set vsel, or if on custom ROM better option is bootmenu (press vol down on blue light during boot), to overclock and undervolt, my settings:

300mhz

700mhz

1200mhz

Vsel 1: 18

Vsel 2: 40

Vsel 3: 62

Governer: Boosted

(My values may be unstable for you so experiment carefully, if you choose boosted in bootmenu also enable all modules for best effect)

3: Uninstall bloatware with titanium backup or similar app (be careful what you uninstall, if you're unsure just "freeze" apps instead)

4: V6 supercharger script or any ram optimization app for root, your call. V6 Supercharger is for the patient, autokiller or ram manager pro for impatient people.

5: Change ROM, sometimes a bad build is the problem

6: Avoid downloading files with screen off. This often causes "sleep of death"

Apparently there is atm no way to get cwm or cwm recovery on your phone w/out going through oh no!'s rom which as a prerequisite you must follow the unbricking method.

If you want go to my profile and check out my recent posts in the nitro general subforum and youll see my little journey....which others were annoyed with ...lmao.

I am currently rooted, running stock ics and love it. I have no issues phone runs near perfect.

I did not "unbrick" my phone and just flashed an older rom (v18) and rooted.

Sparky's root method is the only method that will root this phone via ics.

I made a thread explaining in detail some steps that were not mentioned.

Dont bother with doomlord, oneclick.

Since the tapatalk search function sucks balls use the xda search function from the actual browser.

Hope that helps. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Dont fear the unbrick.

Take your time

Read slow and also read through other peoples posts and what they did wrong, how they remedied it blah blah...

Dont take any short cuts unless for sure, you know exactly what you are doing.

Make sure you have everything ready and have read through prior to doing it.

Nothing to fear flashing is pretty straight forward.

Just take your time.

I went from Stock ATT 2.5.6 V10J to ATT STOCK V10F .Using [GUIDE] Unbrick, Root, And Install CWM by mattman86 . Its long but doable its not even that long really .O tip uninstall all the drivers you might have installed and use the one that come with the unbricking pack ,its the key to the whole thing. Im in CM10 Nightly now .Good luck and dont get frustrated its rootable its just not a one click root.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Just keep trying to run the root. I used super one click and it took me at least 20-30 attempts to successfully root. If it asks you if your version is 2 or higher or fails to push any files to the phone, the root will not take. Just reboot the phone and keep trying.
[LG Nitro HD] iyaoyasb:
Try using viperMOD PrimeTime v4.6, that's a lot easier and faster, despite what everyone else says, you can root 10j.

Good Luck

I got the problem with my phone too a long time ago when I'm in a stock Rom with root access,CWM and bootloader unlock,when I relock,my phone won't reboot...

The solution is to flash a new stock Rom,and the problem will gone :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rudjgaard:
Instead of using the relock bootloader.ftf have you tried doing the procedure using the stock firmware and ticking the relock bl option?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] donmarkon:
Well SEUS saved my phone , cause i was samsung user (haved mini pro as my last SE phone) i was totaly out of this complicated things on Sony . Did repair from SEUS and phone booted ...

Now what i want is to upgrade my phone to newer ics now on 431 .. Is it best to change SI number and then lock bootloader and upgrade officaly or just to flash via flashtool :)

?

Thank you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rudjgaard:
There is no advantage in one option in respect to the other., If your bl is unlocked i would suggest keeping it that way in case you will want to make changes in the future, it just makes things easier...

After you flash the relock bootloader ftf you will have to flash the stock rom onto it, otherwise it has no "OS to run from" since the one you gave it is the unlock bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sovandy822:
your phone not brick,, u can flash stock firmware FTF to get back to stock ROM...

then it will be ok

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew about how to check if a rom had OBEX Message Access from looking at the .zip install file.

I know that for ICS cm9 and aokp has this supported. But I wanted to check the .zip files instead of installing the rom and then running a terminal.

I don't really like how there is an app dedicated to "people" and one "phone". Anyone have a good method of combining them into one app? Right now i just have them paired in a folder but i think there can be a better way of grouping. Suggestions please?

Not sure why the stock app isn't more like Dialer One. T9 search seems to be a basic functionality feature (With room for more than one single result). Why is Blackberry the only company that has basic functions like that embedded.

Dialer One needs an update...it looks so old.

What's up everybody, I just ordered these & hoping they'll do the job. I've ordered from them twice before (nexus one, evo 3d), the batteries in the past have held up pretty good but I don't think these have nfc :/ I ended up ordering these cuz' the qcell nfc enabled ones were sold out/unavailable so I didn't wanna' wait, plus I haven't seen a review on these yet so I said eh, I'll try em' out. If you guys are interested in purchasing some for yourselves I've included the link below, the only thing is that you have to pay using google checkout :/

[Galaxy S III Accessories] devilchrist:
another 3.7v batter that will die very fast if you use your phone to charge, due to overcharging. as our stock batteries full charge voltage is 4.3 where as that one is 4.2v

unless somehow our phones can distinguish the battery difference,
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DOG666:
I always use the supplied wall charger that comes with these so Idk, lots of the extended battery reviews on here are the same voltage & they seem to be doing pretty good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AndreiLux:
It's not the charger which matters but the phone itself which charges the battery, it's aiming for 4.3V as that's what it thinks it should have as the stock battery is designed for that. Although I haven't heard a single case of these 4.2V batteries having problems with being charged with 4.3V, that last part can be changed in the kernel and the charger chip driver. I'm getting some knock-off cheap battery myself so I'll see how it goes. This particular one seems quite steep in price @ $30, with proven ones like the PolarCell 2400mAh going out for half the cost.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] devilchrist:
you won't see the affect right away from overcharging. I use to play with a lot of batteries from RC, overcharging something we use to do get slight edge and boost at start. but it does have long term damage to batteries, specially lithium based. some cheaper batteries even catch fire.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DOG666:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] hotpocketdeath:
Li-ion batteries have an overcharge protection circuit built into the battery pack itself and should prevent this from happening. If everything is working as intended, it should be impossible for the phone to overcharge a battery. That's not to say the protection circuit couldn't fail itself.

And I too played with RC batteries and you really can't compare those batteries with these. Different types of battery with different methods of charging.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] twe69:
It should be higher than the original but not sure by how much, i.e. probably less than 3000.... I think someone ordered it in one of the other 3rd party battery threads, hopefully they review it in the next 2 weeks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] joshnichols189:
I can almost promise you it won't be anywhere near 3000. If it's the same size as the stock battery the most I would give it is 2200, like the Anker.

I had a Chichitec battery for my Sensation and it was leagues above the stock battery. So i ordered these for my S3 and so far it is so much better than stock. The stock battery would only get me about 12 hours of battery, I'm getting about 24 hours now. These Chichitec so far after 3 days of use are so much better. I'll post again in a few days with an update.

As i know not needed backward compatible the only problem with cwm6 as i think is if you made a backup via cwm 5 you will not be able to restore it via cwm6 as it use a different approach for backup blobs and incremental backups to reduce backup size with consquent backups so make a new nandroid backup with cwm 6 before return just to be safe
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanderfowl:
Just got mine today, and love the hardware, but man, Touchwiz is a design trainwreck. Are there any decent ways to remove some of the Touchwiz nastiness (Big power choosers in the notification bars, striped patterns everywhere) to go back towards a more stock look? I've already installed NovaLauncher, which helps, but the notifications popup is just tragic and loud.

I know that if we get CM9/CM10, I'll be back to delicious AOSP stock, but I'm wondering if there's any solution which will help me restore some design sanity sooner. Replacing image files, etc?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzero2085:
I can't say I disagree here .. I'm not a big fan of the appearance of touchwiz -- especially the notification pop-up. Ugh. I also hate the white menus, too. That said, there are features of touchwiz that I do like (app drawer organization options are nice), but overall, I could do without it. I like your choice of words: a design trainwreck. IMHO, it most certainly is.

I kinda wish Samsung would give you the option of a more stock-android experience, but I understand why they don't. Touchwiz is their android "brand". My first android experience was a Samsung, and I have bad memories of slowness & lag that I'd much rather forget, but luckily the Note's hardware seems to be able to smash everything up without any super serious performance hits (for me, thus far -- time will tell that tale, though ;)).

If anyone actually strips touchwiz out and makes a rom that doesn't actually lose functionality or introduce major bugs (so many roms have given me headaches with the market, various non-functioning hardware components etc), I might consider it, but probably closer to the end of my warranty. :)

Folks,

I am having an issue where I can't checkboxes on websites via my stock browser and Dolphin HD browser.

This is an issue I have been dealing with for several months now and I have always just settled with it as an issue. However, it is getting to the point that it is very frustrating when I am navigating to websites with checkboxes on my phone and I can't see them.

I have tried searching the forums and saw some fixes for other phones via editting the settings.db with SQLite Editor, however, when I follow those steps, I don't see the setting they mention in the settings.db.

I can take some screen shots and upload them when I get off of work, but I would appreciate any insight that can be offered.

Thanks in advance.

I do believe im going to flash a stock/rooted ROM and then do a dd backup.

What options do you set for your backups?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
I did as follows:

cd /dev/block/
ls
(get the list of mmcblk devices from here)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/dd/blk0p1 bs=4096
...
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p99 of=/sdcard/dd/blk0p99 bs=4096

Obviously you shouldn't have 99 partitions... but you get the idea. I ran each line manually.

Then just move the /dd/ folder off your /sdcard/ and onto some safe storage.

I bought my device off someone from Craigslist 2 nights ago. Went home with device working great. Decided to update from ICS to JB, downloaded everything on the ol gaming machine, go to update using Kies, then BAM! Hung update, bricks phone immediately. Woo....great experience after dropping $400 on phone lol. Contacted Samsung support who told me my update wouldn't work until I registered? I told him it bricked my phone and it wasn't being picked up by computer anymore and I wanted to go back to ICS, he apparently thought waiting 24 hours would fix driver issues. Found JB official rom and learned about Odin. Worked at it until 2-ish am, never worked, woke up, did ICS instead same method, worked immediately, then update worked.

Moral of story? Don't trust Samsung apparently, go with 3rd party everything....

After having my phone on stock rooted touch wiz since day one I was tempted to go jellybean... So months later I'd say Octoberish I finally said f**k it I'm going aokp... So I ran the task and k toonsen romantic for a while until they started porting the t mobile jelly bean stock tw rom... It made me miss tw and it's awesome camera app... So I flashed it after a week or so upon its release... First thing I noticed was the phone would get txts and phone calls rarely (keep in mind I'm in an lte area) and it became un bare able after about an hour. So I reverted back to my aokp nandroid and just figured I'd call it a day... But when I restored my nandroid my service was still messed up.. So after a bit of gooogling I checked my phone status to find my imei to be 0!!! I was beyond upset... So I tried re flashing stock in Odin and everything else I could find (unfortunately the imei restorer wasn't existent yet) and it came to the point where I left it stock and went to the att repair center down the road... The guy didn't know what was wrong with it and I just played dumb... After about 30 mins he came to the conclusion that my sim card slot was broken and I got a new phone...

After getting this one back home I instantly rooted it again ;)

I've been staying away from those ported tmobile roms ever since

Alright then,

It was my first day with the LG Nitro HD. My first smartphone (don't comment xD) and I was prepared to root and flash the living crap out of it. Done with rooting, now to install CWM. Simple enough, right? WRONG. This was the one time where google was not my friend. I followed a horribly misleading guide, and ended up with a paperweight. Turns out I flashed the recovery image to the secondary bootloader partition, thereby bricking my phone completely and utterly, irreparably. Had to ship it off to LG, and they fixed it, no questions asked. Thank God for that...

I had an HTC Touch Pro on Sprint. You had to flash a stock ROM before flashing a new custom ROM or the phone would stop working properly after almost exactly an hour. The file system would become completely messed up but the OS would keep running from RAM. It would fail to reboot after that. It was such a pain that I updated my phone every ~3-4 months.

This one actually just happened this weekend.

So I finally got bored of having stock ICS on my i747 (Rogers), and since I loved cm 7/9 on my SGS2, I figured I'd go with the latest (15 dec) CM10 nightly.

downloaded to phone, rebooted in recovery, wiped data and cache, and installed the new firmware.

booted up and I've got no (or inconsistant) cell service. Figure it's a bug that hasn't been fixed, so no biggie, I backed up a week ago, so I decided to revert back to stock for the time being.

go through the process, and discover I still only have EDGE data.... WTF?

So I do some reading *AFTER the fact, hur dur...* and discover the IMEI wipe issue, and surprise surprise, I didn't do an NV backup, since I didn't know it'd get wiped.

Spent a couple hours keeping the phone / computer away from the 13 month old while I replace the IMEI NV data.... Still stuck on EDGE.... at least my IMEI is showing up though.

Each Phone an Adventure

I can completely relate to all of you. Though I'm new as a member (thought I already had an account but apparently I didn't), I've been using the forum for a long time. I have rooted four phones to date, each with its' own disaster story and happy ending. My latest was the AT&T S3. While not a disaster entirely, the no flash counter guide ended up not working out for me. So I paved my own trail so to speak and I found all the root dependencies (Recovery, ROM, the works) by myself. The entire process took me about a day. I also used TriangleAway which threatened explosions if anything went wrong and thankfully nothing did. I'm glad I never had to send a phone back, I've always been very cautious about any type of flashing and always read the forum before doing it.
