[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch33kster:
I am on CM9 stable rom, Siyah Kernel 1.5.

There is a customisation in CM9 that allows us to enable/disable Battery lights, where we can change the LED colour for Low Batt, Charging and Fully Charged. I noticed that whenever my phone is charged to 90%, the LED turns to green, which is my fully charged colour. Is there anyway to ensure that the LED only turns green when the battery is really fully charged at 100%?

And also, the status of my phone says "Charged" once 100% is reached, however we all know that when it reaches 100%, the phone will still continue charging for a while before it is really fully charged. Is this a bug?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranyan:
Led turning green at 90% is AOSP behavior. You cant do anything about it.

Is there any solution to this? The total graph value on the data usage, is not a real total. However, the individual apps total usage of data is accurate Why is this so? Is there a fix for this? A patch to the settings apk source?

My bro just gave me his Lumia 800. I'm a noob on Win7.5 coming from Android world and can't figure out how to get Google Voice dialing to work. My calls all show the phone's native number. I've tried GoVoice and Metrotalk. Can someone give me some guidance? I've tried Googling around for solutions but can't find one. Sorry if this is something simple or basic, but I don't see an obvious solution.

Thanks for your help in advance.
[HTC One X] sleepyhills:
Hey all,

I really hope I'm posting this in the right forums, and I did do a google search/xda search prior to this, but I unfortunately did not find anything relevant to my situation.

Anywho, I flashed CM10 on to my phone but ended up in a bootloop. Coming from the S3 and never before using an HTC, I did do the mistake of not flashing the boot.img included with the zip through fastboot initially. After realizing what I forgot to do, I did it and ta-da! It works now and seems to be functioning perfectly.

I seem to have a new situation now though, where my Hox will enter a bootloop whenever I reboot my phone. It's not a huge issue with me, as I can just enter fastboot and flash the boot.img again to get it working. But if I'm not at my computer by any chance, then I would be sort of SOL. So I was just wondering if any of you guys could possibly chime in with a reason why this is happening and how I could fix it.

Once again, I apologize deeply if I just forgot to do something, or if the answer is as clearcut as it can possibly be. Thank you all, regardless.

[HTC One X] Squirrels:
did you do fastboot boot boot.img or fastboot flash boot boot.img?

sounds like you may have done the first one which would load the kernel one-time and then on next boot it wouldnt be there because it wasnt actually flashed.
[HTC One X] FuricTrax:
I had the same. Just come from Stock rooted Sense 4.1 ROM to viperX. Followed the instructions on their setup but got just a reboot boot loop. If I went to fastboot, shutdown then booted up from cold - no probs. Did the above with the boot.img from the ROM zip, and the erase cache thing. 2 successful reboots later n it seems OK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kola1228:
I've been having the hardest time figuring out which JB ROMs are stable with everything working so I can flash it. There are about 3 or 4 different versions of CM10 (one official and several kangs). There are also a few kangs of AOKP. Then there's also Paranoid... Has anyone tried a few of these?

I want a JB ROM that includes "project butter" with everything working correctly (I know MMS and camera resolution has been an issue for some, but i heard it was fixed?)

So which JB ROM is the most stable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
I've only tried the official CM10 (8/20 build I believe) and the CVCPS "preview" build right before that, and both were great. No issues here. I did wait until the MMS problem was fixed before flashing though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kola1228:
hows the camera on the official CM10? is it the full 1080p?

Is there a difference in performance when you unlock your phone with or without HTC Dev? Or is the only negative thing about htcdev.com that you might lose your warranty and have to flash boot.img seperately?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
No impact on performance

Sywepd form my DsereiS
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
I unlocked with htcdev, yeh I voided my warranty but hey ho. The fact that you have to flash the boot image separately has only really been a small niggle, having to be at the pc when changing Roms. But it forces you to look at the tools used more, I think I've learnt more doing it that way than just flashing Roms and backups from the sd card. I don't think it impacts on performance, for me just getting rid of sense was the biggest impact on performance.

[HTC Desire S] z3rve:
unlocking and s-off will however lose warranty but no impacts on performance

Yep, that's why it is wise to S-OFF without unlocking at htcdev.

The procedure is actually easier then flashing a custom ROM :)

Really? 5mpx camera (X10i has 8mpx)? 512 RAM (384 RAM)? Or maybe MSM7227A SoC (X10i has QSD8250)? Only the screen has same res and size. Xperia arc/arc s has ICS too, and many other Xperia line devices on similar specs have ICS. But similar is not the same and u can't take ROM from one device and put it in another just because they have similar specs. That's ridiculous, same as this topic.

[HTC EVO 3D] HuckleberryWill:
I unlocked my bootloader with HTC dev, and have S-ON. Apparently, it is okay to flash roms in this state, having used this method. I don't want to try flashing, as I don't want to risk bricking my phone and I am waiting for either cyanogen mod for my GSM version of the Evo 3d, or a decent, working jellybean ROM. So, do I need to get S-OFF, or am I okay as it is? If I do need S-OFF, what would be the best way to do it?
[HTC EVO 3D] HuckleberryWill:
Oh yes, and I have superuser, Google Now, CWM recovery and HBOOT 1.53.0007.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
U don't need it but it makes things easier. My bootloader is locked but I have s-off. That's the way I prefer it. U really only need one or the other to flash roms.
[HTC EVO 3D] plaidcounty:
If you want to flash new firmware you do. If you want to flash a kernel, depending on your recovery, you need to be s-off or use a computer to boot recovery. If you want a custom splash screen, you need s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] nohoy:
I just installed the 4ext recovery and flashed a few roms. It can accommodate S-on to some degree. And its a lot easier than using the volume butttons to do anything in recovery.

You should give that a shot if you haven't already.
[HTC EVO 3D] HuckleberryWill:
Is there much risk in using the wire method to gain s-off? I don't want to break any part of my phone and that sounds like it might... Im fine with the splash screen, and I don't want to mess with kernels. Would s-on restrict the usage of roms such as cyanogen mod, and is that rom likely to be released for the gsm evo 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
A lot of the ics roms that have true 3.x kernels that work better with updated firmware. You would have to s-on to update them. Unless you relock take all the otas the unlock again, but some roms based on the new OTA need the 1.58 hboot and all the aosp roms can't use it so it necessitates going back and forth with hboots. That also requires s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] HuckleberryWill:
Sorry, I am a bit of a noob, can you explain that a bit better? And am i right in thinking that if I update my phone, I will then have to re-unlock?
[HTC EVO 3D] vegeto999:
go with s-off it makes life easier for u no problems alot less stress
[HTC EVO 3D] HuckleberryWill:
Ok, thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] dubsie:
it honestly doesn't hurt too much to do it, especially if you don't intend to fiddle around/flash ROMs with your phone too much.
[HTC EVO 3D] Trafelgar:
Yeh man I was a bit skeptical to do it too, but after doing the research and finding out it was recommended to do S-off I was glad i did, and its fairly easy to do.

It is very important that you back up your efs before flashing any ROM, and before you folow this guide BACKUP the faulty efs folder because it contains the old backup of the file nv_data.bin.

I have read few threads in the past couple days where people are trying to fix they're IMEI and got concerned over it because I'm new to this all. I have been testing different ROMs now for few days and how can you even lose your IMEI accidentally? if I go to check my IMEI from settings/about, how do I know it's correct? and what happens to your phone if you mess up your IMEI? probably sensible to back the efs folder up.. can it be done by just making a zip file out of it and copying it to dropbox etc? thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
IMEI number gets damaged if something goes wrong during the flashing process AFAIK...check the IMEI number in the phone and on the box you got your phone in..it is also there behind the battery..if you mess up with IMEI you may not be able to connect to a network and make calls..

to backup the EFS folder use kTools ..search for it here in XDA..

How to restore IMEI on SGS3 Gt-i9300 - 9 step process

I deleted my IMEI number when flashing roms a few days ago and it was showing as 000000...

I searched everywhere for a recipe of how to restore it and could not find one that would work. The closest that I got was a brilliant post (see link below) describing how to restore the IMEI on a SGS2 i9100. After following this recipe, I was able to restore my IMEI number to 0049 .... which is just as useless as 0000....

It took me a couple of days of research (and HUGE thanks to everybody whose previous research I was able to use) and I finally succeeded in restoring my IMEI using the 9 step process that I describe below. I can't guarantee that it will work and I do not know if it will work on any device besides the SGS3 GT-i9300 (international SGS3), because this is the only device that I have and was able to test the process on.

Restore IMEI on SGS2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

Download EFS PRO: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546

Download your original firmware using check fus downloader (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032437&page=18)

You need:

-EFS PRO, a brilliant little program for Windows used to backup / restore the efs folder as well as recover / repair the nv_data*.bin files.

-Windows :(

-Windows USB drivers

-Rooted SGS3

-Root explorer.apk

-Original phone firmware (actually, you only need the modem.bin file, so once you download your firmware package, you can just extract the modem.bin file).

-Odin or Heimdall

Your phone's IMEI number is stored in the ".nv_data" file in the original shipped efs folder.

Process:

1. make a copy of your EFS folder using root explorer and store it somewhere safe (on your SD card and external SD card should do it).

2. delete the EFS folder from the root of your phone using root explorer.

3. reboot the phone

4. open root explorer and go to the EFS folder (yes, it is still there! The Android OS has generated a new one for us) and delete the following files:

nv_data.bin

nv_data.bin.md5

nv.log

.nv_data.bak

.nv_data.bak.md5

nv_data.bin.bak

and the entire IMEI folder.​

5.Now go to your backed up EFS folder on your sd card and copy the IMEI folder and the " .nv_data" file (note the dot) to your new EFS folder.

6.Make another copy of the ".nv_data" file in your new EFS folder. Rename one of them to "nv_data.bin" and the other one to "nv_data.bin.bak".

7. Connect your phone to your PC and start up EFS PRO. After your phone has been detected, press the "Repair nv data" button to correct the ownership and permissions.

8. Reboot your phone into recovery mode using the three botton combo and flash the original modem firmware (the modem.bin file that you extracted earlier) to your phone using Odin (use the "phone" button for the upload) or Heimdall (use the "radio" partition for the modem.bin file upload).

9. Reboot the phone normally and your IMEI number will be restored and you will be able to connect to your mobile network again :)

Good luck and may the force be with you!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vapourEyes:
I am a noob who borked their IMEI with a kernel flash that went wrong.

Oooops....

Luckily I had used spoofFW which takes an EFS backup for you.

Then it was a case of ADB and some linux based file manipulation on the handset to get it back.

Its not for the feint hearted. A phone shop (i got that desperate at one point) refused to touch it as its illegal to mess with IMEI in some countries.

remember - spoofFW. Its worth installing that just for the EFS backup. It will be a tar file that can be opened (by WinRAR / peazip) and then used.

Does anyone know of an app that just does efs backup ?

kTool does it but I think it generates a hard to manipulate .img file ?
