[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FL0OD:
I decided to try a TouchWiz Rom just for giggles and because I was bored. I am on the L8 radio and have absolutely horrible reception at my house. Always have. With my Evo, NS4G, Galaxy Nexus, all garbadge at my house. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my reception got considerably better. Why that is, I dont know all I know is that I have been running AOSP roms on all of my phones for years now as I preferred them for speed and overall stability but after running a optimized version of TouchWiz on this device I am very happy. Never thought I would say that. I will say I can have my Gnex in the same room and it gets waaaay worse reception so I dont know if it has to do with drivers or whatever but I wont be taking TouchWiz off this particular device just for that reason. I am running that FreeGS3 rom and I am very pleased with the overall experience and definitely with the new found connectivity. I got this phone I went right to AOSP. Right out of the box and never even tried TouchWiz except for in the store. Running AOSP on this device, at this present time, just seems silly. It completely removes waaaaay to many of the built features. I have a Gnex for my hotrod but for this device, Im sticking with the Wiz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thearch1tect:
Can a Rom itself contribute to reception quality? The only wiz Rom I've tried is blazer. Are you running wiz Rom on the LG8 radio as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
Thanks for telling me your story

Ill keep it into to consideration if I ever wanna switch carriers

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FL0OD:
Yes and FreeGS3. I should say I don't know if it's different I just know it's made a considerable difference in my connection. Maybe just a coincidence.

I believe since he said this is part network vision that if your towers are not upgraded yet this wont do anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pangolin.rollin:
This will work now and until further notice.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone else as well, make sure to update your PRL! This plays a huge part in reception.

Settings>System Updates> Update PRL

or

*2 then talkbutton (dialer code) > Update PRL (toucwhiz based)

*** This will also vary by location ***

Anyone else using Elixir 2 on their Inifinity? I have finally taken the plunge to fully configure, install, create widgets, etc and have to say I am loving it! Depth and breadth of control and detail is amazing.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] pinky059:
I use Elixir 2 and I love it. Have it on both my EVO 4G LTE and Infinity 64GB
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Yes, a few people here were using it, see the "post your home screens" thread. It's really nice, but it updates all the time, so expect some more battery drain (see your logcat if you don't believe me ;>).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
I have elixir running as a notification widget so I can easily track my CPU usage (trying to figure out some stuff with my battery usage) and launch floating apps from anywhere. Works pretty great.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
Hello everybody.

I've just found a strange problem with my phone's internal speaker. And I think the problem might be there since my purchase but I never realized it before.

The thing is, when I play a stereo track on my phone I can only hear ONE channel through the internal speaker. However my headset work fine at the same time.

I've even downloaded an app from Play store to test the speakers and it can only play the left channel.

Can someone please test this app on your phone?

(cannot post link due to low post count)

Search Google Play for the app named "Stereo Test" from Farrell and test it on your phone, then reply with your results

You might also have this weird problem!

Note:

I'm on stock firmware (2.3.5) never rooted/flashed anything.

I did tried factory reset before posting.

Your help is much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] drarunmmc:
Do our phone support stereo sound output from mobile speaker . ..?

I never knew this. ..

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Kartik pat:
I tested it n both the speakers works fine on my phone!!

I m on ICS 4.0.4 n rooted!!:)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Our R speaker stereo ???? Lol..

Buddy, d speakers r mono by default..and i doubt those who said that their speaker r stereo...

Its nt a problem..its by default..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] drarunmmc:
I second that.. .

ROYAL PEOPLE WITH ROYAL MOBILE
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
Well, I think i didn't described the problem enough.

I know the speaker is mono, but it should play both channels merged.

For example:

If I play a stereo song having only music in left channel & vocals in right channel. I can only hear the music (no vocals), but if I plug my headset it plays fine.

Did you guys get it?

If you still don't understand what I'm talking about.

Just download that app, test your speaker and post your results here.

That will too help me alot.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] prdm2002:
You misunderstood him. the right channel is not played on the internal speaker or down mixed and not that he has 2 speakers.

Incidentally, I have the same error.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
here is a MP3 file to test

Hey guys,

I've made a mp3 file myself to make things simple (and to prove this problem to SSC)

If you play this file, you'll hear only one channel every 5 seconds (till 30sec)

i.e.

left channel will play from 0 to 5 seconds

next right channel plays from 5 to 10 sec

then again left channel plays from 10 to 15 sec (so on till 30 seconds)

After 30 seconds, you'll hear both channels simultaneously till the end.

Now, if I play this file I can hear the first 5 seconds then the speaker goes silent for 5 seconds then again I can hear for 5 seconds and so on...till 30 seconds.

After 30 seconds though, I can hear the song till the end.

In my case, I can only hear from left channel and that is the problem I was talking about.

I request you to try playing this file and reply here with your results.

(sorry for my bad English, I tried my best to describe myself)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
What the OP is actually trying to say is that only a single channel (either left / right chanel) is audible from the mono speaker that we have in our handset. Normally both channels should be audible but without the stereo effect.

'whatever' I'll try to confirm the same just give me a sometime as I can't check it currently. ;)

Cheers ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
I downloaded the file and i can hear the music buddy in both the channels (in the way u have mentioned - Switch of channels for each 5 sec till 30 and in both after 30) :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Ok...i misunderstood...my bad......

Anyways i tested too...n was able to here d entire song..on speaker..entire means bth channel...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
I think its a problem with gingerbread...

I faced the same problem when i was on GB but since i upgraded to ICS, no such problem...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
I don't understand how could it be gingerbread problem?

When lots of other people on gingerbread can hear the song without problem.

Btw, I went to SSC yesterday and although it was hard do prove the problem, I did it with the help of edited mp3 file.

But then the SSC guy asked me to leave my phone there for"ringer" replacement, which I refused.

But, when I was leaving SSC, I found another user having Galaxy R, and then we tested the mp3 file in it, which played correctly in his handset.

So it means there is something wrong with the hardware, right?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
tried that

I tried different players before starting this thread.

In fact, I firstly noticed this problem while I was playing a song in "n7player"

Then I thought it might be player related problem and tried stock player, "Xplay music player" etc. but nothing helped.

I'm just waiting for the official release of ICS from Samsung India.

Thanks to all.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
Its been almost 4 months since last post, but I'm again here to share my experience...

I finally updated to ICS today and this weired problem is GONE! :)

So, its confirmed that it was a bug in my stock firmware...

Plz update if you have same problem...

Thank you XDA team & all the members!! :thumbup:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wafflcopterz:
I'm sure some of you have seen the video for the new CM10 Boot animation:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogp9f4_yEoU

I WANT IT! But when I try to flash the file found in CM10ZipSaves/Vertical/480 CWM Recovery gives me "Installation Aborted."

Halp anyone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Not a flashable zip. You have to replace the bootanimation.zip found in /system/media by yours. Be sure to name it the same and overwrite it.

www.google.com is also a very good help source. I used the keywords "replace boot animation android" to find that in 0.21 seconds.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wafflcopterz:
Cool your jets man, it took me a bit longer than that. Plus there's no new thread about the new CM10 boot animation so THERE!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JensAiden:
I followed all the instructions and tried with both the 800 and 480 animations, but when the phone boots up it just shows a stock animation of the android logo...

anyone know why this might be?

I replaced both the animation in system/media and data/local
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzo320:
I've never tried putting anything in data/local. Try just system/media.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JensAiden:
Yea, at first I tried just system/media and that didn't work and some article said try data/local as a solution - which also did not work :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niteh@wk:
Putting the bootanimation.zip in /data/local should work. Be sure to change its permissions to 0755 or rwxr-xr-x.

[HTC EVO 3D] Deleted member 4244585:
Hi all,

So my phone won't boot past the white HTC screen. I'm able to boot into recovery, but that's it. I'll go into recovery and try to flash an assortment of ROMs, but it never gets past the HTC screen. It gets to the HTC screen, stays there for 15 seconds or so, then reboots back into the screen.

I'm 1.4 S-OFF. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Twist: When I boot it with the SD card in, it doesn't work.

When I boot it with the SD card out, it doesn't work.

BUT When I boot it with the SD card out, then slide in the SD card while the white HTC screen is on, then it boots. Wtf. Anyone have any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] dessolator666:
first thought, did you wipe cache/dalvik/data?

second, GSM or CDMA?

if all else fails just run a RUU to get things back to a functional state
[HTC EVO 3D] Deleted member 4244585:
I've tried wiping everything, flashing AOSP ROMs, Sense, all of them. I'm CDMA.

Something else: When I install 4EXT recovery, I can't boot into recovery. It gives me white screen reboots like in the OP. But when I'm on Clockworkmod, I can boot into recovery.

Gonna try a RUU when I get home :\
[HTC EVO 3D] nohoy:
Did you do anything just before this started happening? For instance, did this problem start immediately after you tried to flash a new rom?

I'd be really interested as to why you were able to get it to boot by putting the SD card in mid-boot. I honestly have no idea if an SD card is required for an android phone to boot (never had a need to try). Are the connections on your SD card, or that port, somehow degraded or dirty?
[HTC EVO 3D] dessolator666:
the card is not needed, all boot relevant info is in the phone itself.

it's unlikely that the problem is in the card slot, I would have to assume that the problem is software related, maybe it's trying to read some data it doesn't have access to? mind you it still wouldn't hurt to try and check the card for errors (an external card reader would come in handy)

ok, just out of curiosity, when you go into CWM and clear: cache then dalvik then cache and data, do u get an error after it's done?

how'd the RUU go?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSchroeder:
Hi. Title says it all.

If anyone has a locked bootloader, stock ROM, stock launcher, (Basically new out the box), I'd love to see your AnTuTu benchmarks.

Also, I'd be interested in any other combination of unlocked/locked bootloader, STOCK ROM, and stock or 3rd party launcher. (If not stock rom, please post your BMs and details in the threads for your ROM :) )

THANKS! In advance (and when you post your screen). :good:

---

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.ABenchMark

If you're new and want to help out, (because let's face it, who else has locked/stock/stock?) what you'll do is click that link above, choose to install, send to your Nexus 7. After a couple minutes or when your N7 notifies you that AnTuTu benchmark is installed, open the device, click the 2nd tab at top called "TEST" and then hit "Start Test".

This will take about 5 minutes. You'll get a benchmark screen but go ahead and give it a few more minutes, in fact on the first benchmark screen you see, (with a score at the top) if you tap the first divider labelled "Detailed scores", you'll see that more parts of your system are still being benchmarked. Make sure to pull down this DETAILED SCORES before taking the screen screen!

After that, and all benchmarking is done, hold power+vol down to take a screen shot. You can then post from your N7 to here or send it to yourself/etc to post the screenshot here.

Attached is an example (from my N7, which is unlocked/SGT7 ROM/modified stock launcher) of what it should look like.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Locked or unlocked has zero effect on performance/becnhmarks/battery etc. Effects nothing at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSchroeder:
Thanks for your valuable input. albundy.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Thanks for the sarcastic reply after making a thread with such a silly idea to bench with a locked and unlocked bootloader.

It makes no difference. I am curious to how you can even ponder the idea that it could to be honest.

If you where so curious about it do it yourself. Waste your own time instead of trying get a noob to waste theirs. Anybody that isn't a complete newbie knows already it makes no difference and most would even know why.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSchroeder:
I'm looking to gather benchmarks from a variety of configurations with stock ROM - that's the goal. The bootloader is quite obviously the least important part of this. I included it because there are quite a few people who may have unlocked and rooted and don't realize that it doesn't matter and to avoid filling the thread with meaningless posts that don't at all provide to the conversation like "Does it matter if I have unlocked my bootloader?". Basically, I was providing the detail that I would love to see benchmarking off *all* configurations with stock ROM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
antutu is mostly cpu speed dependant, with some infuence on 2d/3d scores if or if not you have force gpu acceleration enabled in developer options(device main settings). mostly, scores with similar cpu speeds will score the same(root or stock) if you bench with that cpu speed locked(for example 1200mhz high/1200mhz low). if you let the device scale(set cpu speed to the highest high and lowest low) then you wont know what cpu speed its actually benchmarking because the device scales and decides what cpu speed it wants. allowing it to scale can produce a huge variation in scores and is inaccurate in providing the true scores for a certain cpu speed, stock or root.
[HTC One X] ametarasu:
Hi,

When I flashed my HTC One X with Android Revolution HD I installed ClockworkMod manually via flashboot.

Now I installed RomManager app (bought it actually) and there also I installed ClockworkMod. Could you please explain what is my system scenario? Do I have two versions of ClockworkMod now ? Also I flashed touch version of ClockworkMod when I did manually. Now its asking me to upgrade to touch version inside RomManager.

I am confused on what state my system is. Do I have to versions of ClockworkMod now? One without touch which I installed via RomManager and one with touch which I flashed manually.

Kindly help me with above queries.
[HTC One X] Wir3start3r:
No yet you have the non touch version ^^
[HTC One X] ametarasu:
Does this mean when I installed RomManager it overwrote the recovery I installed first ?

This is the recovery I installed with flashboot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img.

But when I boot into recovery, I do have touch. So where does the clockworkmod I installed via RomManager sit?
[HTC One X] Wir3start3r:
Yes normally you over"flash" it (if you download and flash cwm from rom manager)
[HTC One X] ametarasu:
Ok. I was wondering what will happen to my previous manual installation :)

But still it does not explain why touch is active when I enter recovery. Am I missing something?
[HTC One X] Wir3start3r:
Do you download and flash recovery from rom manager?

or do you just download rom manager ?
[HTC One X] ametarasu:
I downloaded RomManager and also did "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".

But I also clicked manually Flash Override. That was before I did "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".

I bought an 2000 mah extended battery 5 month ago on ebay from simshop. First 3 month, 5h+ screen on time, 22h battery life and more. Now, 45min to 1:30 screen on time, 5h battery life, all on wifi and my phone closee by itself at 8%. My 1750mah battery can give me a better performance. WTH Samsung ?

Please, dont blame my rom or kernel because im stock 4.1.1 with no facebook-twitter app now.

Because i have no screenshots. My screen on time is between 45 min to 1:30. Never more.

Maybe a defective battery.

I have the 2100mAh for the LTE Nexus and my battery is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
Well, if it's a 3rd party battery from eBay, it really wouldn't surprise me. But please, screenshots and a pic of said battery would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Razorblood:
Well I don't think its a third party as simshop carries the official 2000mah battery for GSM G Nexus straight from Korea. It might be a bad battery as I have read countless of ppl buying from that store.

I am going to be purchasing one from there too soon. Hopefully its just a case of a defective battery.

Does anyone else know where they sell this battery?

In the update script, you should set correct permissions to the data/app folder. The command should be something like "set perm_recursive(0,0,744) data/app"
