[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thegendler:
When I browse using the Root Browser, in the root folder there is a folder called "sdcard." But when I go into the /mnt folder there is another folder called "sdcard" and "extSdCard" and some other folders. Can anyone explain why I have the other sdard folder in the root folder? It seems to be identical but I don't understand why it is there. Also if I can, I'd like to delete it as it seems to be pointlessly taking up space.

**EDIT** Ah wtf now I found even more duplicate folders. In the root folder there is a folder called /storage and in there there are folders identical to the /mnt folder. Except sdcard is now sdcard0. What is going on!!!??!?!

Some information, I rooted and flashed the JB leak a few days ago so I assume some of this is because of that. How can I safely bring my phone back to stock? I mean completely stock, deleting everything so it is like new from the box.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Minker17:
If you have an external sd card in the phone then you will see sd and extsd
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Totally normal dude. They're not really duplicates, just linked to the ssme location. /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard both go to /data/media, which is your internal storage.

/mnt/extSdCard is your external microSD.

Its like that out of the box so it won't change going back to stock.

Hi guys,

I've extracted the 6.1.A.2.45 FTF file from PCC and uploaded it here:

http://www.multiupload.nl/X9EW2A84SH

It's the Generic World version.

Cheers! ;)

I suggest you use this link instead, it's much faster:

http://xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Sony+(Ericsson)/SE+Xperia+S+(LT26i)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS

It's Generic NL, but we always get updates amongst the first ones, and it's a nice and clean ROM.

Just so you know, Generic World doesn't exist. I know the service tool reports it, but only EMMA reports the right region names. It's probably just a Generic Country version.

and? any screens? fast? better then CZ or SG?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crimilde:
Girl. :p You're welcome.

Thanks, I had no idea! My phone was running the CH .452 ROM before and the customization code is the same after the update, so I guess that's the version then.

It's much smoother, I get no lags or redraws now, or the Launcher restarting, .452 was quite annoying from that point of view, even with the build.prop tweak.

I noticed it didn't enter deep sleep properly at first (flashed it without wiping data), but I reset the battery (power+volume up) and I'm not having that problem anymore.

Battery life seems to be on par with .452, maybe a bit better. WiFi signal is still weaker than it was on Gingerbread.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Did You check the one's here?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bungle2000:
Hey Mirhawk, thanks for the link, I checked it out but there are no UK 6.1.A.2.45 firmwares or plain WORLD ones.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Found some here. But why do You need them?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Maher1994:
nice :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bungle2000:
Hey Mirhawk, thanks for that! Are they safe? Is there any way to know?

The reason I've asked for this firmware is because I'm having an issue with my earpiece and on the Sony Forums a moderator suggested I try repairing my phone through the PC Companion program. The only problem is I'm on ICS and the only available firmware on PCC is JB, which I don't want to switch to.

So he said I can flash manually with a downloaded firmware. According to FlashTool/Emma I have:

CDF: 1257-3921 R6G

File System: WORLD 6.1.A.2.45

So I've been looking for a UK based WORLD 6.1.A.2.45 firmware. I don't really know much about firmwares and what all the different types are, so thought it best to stick with the same one I have to be on the safe side.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Ah well, even I was worried about that if those are safe or not. Found new one's now, on xda itself. Even though the download link mention different firmware version, those are the one's You are looking for as proved by the thread's OP, people who flashed it and by screenshots.

Link to thread

Two part link to ftf : Part1 Part 2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bungle2000:
Hey Mirhawk, thanks for the links and the mirrors.

I did find that thread before but I was wondering if the CZ version would be different to a UK version? I don't really know much about ftf's and how the naming conventions work (I'm very new to flashing firmware) so wasn't sure whether the CZ one would be the same as the UK one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygameofpoker:
/I posted this in another thread but I'm desperate for help at this point.

At one point last week, my Nexus 7 had been running on eight hours from a full charge, screen had only been on for 1:15 and Android OS had kept the device awake for almost five hours, and used 50 minutes of CPU total. My battery was at 71%.

After receiving advice to do a factory reset, I did so on Friday and my battery life improved dramatically over the weekend. Android OS was using a much less percentage and keeping the device awake less. My battery lasted over two days with +4 hours of screen time. But once I commuted to work this morning, my problems started again. Android OS' percentage used and time kept awake shot up and my battery is down to 61% in 22 hours (1:11 of screen time) and Android OS has kept the device awake for over 6 hours.

Is this an operating system problem? Does anyone else commute to work and use Google Now for public transit updates? I have Latitude updating off but otherwise all GPS, etc. is turned on.

I am absolutely baffled and would love some help. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cybermancer:
That seems to be the culprit. Try turning ALL options in the Location services off (Google's location service, GPS satellites, Location & Google search) and turn them only on when you need them.

This did the trick for me.

Otherwise use the tools CPU Spy and BetterBatteryStats (both available in the Google Play store) to get a better idea what exactly is causing the battery drain on your device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygameofpoker:
Thanks for the response. That's probably my last resort. I mean, I bought this device because of features on Jelly Bean such as Google Now, which relies heavily on location services, and I have to turn all of them off? That disappoints me.

It's interesting to me that I had all of these services on at home over the weekend, yet it did not have this effect on my battery. Only because my device leaves the house should it freak out. That's a serious flaw.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalias1981:
This may or may not help, but I too was having battery problems but narrowed it down to being only when I was away from any Wi-Fi connection whether I was connected or not. I think there is a bug whereby if the tablet cannot establish your location from nearby Wi-Fi access points, rather than giving up it just keeps on trying to the detriment of your battery. I solved this issue by using an app called Automateit to instruct my Wi-Fi to turn off when the screen is off (as it would be the majority of the time while travelling). These kinds of apps allow all kinds of qualifiers, for example my Wi-Fi doesn't turn off if Spotify is in focus as I am streaming music using Wi-Fi. Give this a go and see if it helps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygameofpoker:
Thanks. When I'm at work it stays connected to the same WiFi access point as far as I know.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygameofpoker:
Here's an update to the situation: I looked at my data usage over the last few days. Over the weekend, Android OS used virtually no data. Since then, it has used about 50 MB of data in the background. I work at a university so maybe it's trying to connect with other access points on campus even when I'm in my office. Any ideas? Thanks.

Edit: At work, the down arrow on my WiFi signal is constantly on, like it's always doing something. At home, not.
[Networking] Nickdroid86:
I have a galaxy s2 on T-Mobile, I'm looking for a better plan, I need at least 5GB of data. Right now I have the $30 100min and 5GB data plan, I don't want to spend $70 a month for more minutes and 5GB of data, but I do need more minutes as well as the data I have. Is there a simple mobile, or family talk plan that would work fully?
[Networking] VoiD_Dweller:
Didn't Tmobile just release some unlimited data plan?
[Networking] Nickdroid86:
Yeah on September 5th, but I'm on prepaid.
[Networking] Nickdroid86:
I don't want to start a new thread for this, but the strangest thing happened. I flashed the Jedi mind trick Rom, when I tried I got a T-Mobile free text saying I owe $250... I'm on prepaid and only pay $30... anyone have any idea?
[Networking] Nickdroid86:
I just found out that my phone is unlocked, I dialed *#simlock#and all said off. So does this open up more options for me? I'd like to keep 4g working
[Networking] Teo032:
Well you're on prepaid so don't worry about that message....can't charge you because you paid before....

Simplemobile apparently limits to approximately 2gb give or take a few. Their 3g plan actually gives you "4g". I don't see how they can actually adjust it to limit it to 3g speed only because 4g it's actually 3.5g..

So stick to the $40 plan.

You can also go straight talk. but i forget what the data limit is for that. Look it up.
[Networking] Nickdroid86:
Good info, just need to get some more info, maybe anyone that has tried it? I thought the old T-Mobile 4g phones where just like 3.5 and hspa+ was 4g?
[Networking] Babydollll:
The 40$ plan has terrible data speeds and sucks if you're using a smartphone. I would NOT recommend it.

ST throttles after (about) 2GB a month or 100MB a day. (technically the AT&T BYOD SIMs seem to be stricter about this than the T-Mobile ones)
[Networking] Nickdroid86:
I saw yesterday that family talk is actually releasing the s2 at Wal-Mart. But u also heard if you use another phone on family talk they ban you

Your input is much appreciated and respected. I think I'm undervolting a little too much since apps will crash on me from time to time, but not low enough to get into a boot cycle. So again, I'm looking for input on ideal settings for Ferrari 458 Italia performance, but more so, excellent battery life. Let me know if you need more detail.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
First off change all your interactive governors to ondemand. Second you could allow your device to underclock down to its lowest step which might help some when it doesn't need as much processing power.

Also, the new kernel goes all the way down to 96mhz and up to 2106mhz if you really want some over and under clocking.

\Hello,

My parents were in the US for a while, so they bought me a Nexus 7.

They also bought one for each of them and theirs were activated while in america, so they have magazines, movies and books working when they got back.

For me the only thing working is Play Music but, since it works, made me wonder if it is possible to get movies/books/magazines working...

It has to be possible..

Have anyone done that already?

If so, how? :)

I also recommend Zinio. Usually have some good special on magazine subscriptions too.

I got the Books to work using a VPN. I was able to download a couple of free ones. Didn't try buying any but I presume it would work if you get the US Play Store working through a VPN.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] *damo*:
Using DroidVPN and Market Enabler you can access the US Play Store, but without a US credit card you cannot purchase anything from movies/books/magazines/music (even if it's free!) So maybe if you can get a prepaid US credit card it will work but I'm not sure..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leandroqm:
Great ideas.

Thank you, guys. :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] :
I used this method to buy stuff from Google Play: http://goo.gl/mHhY8

In short, use VPN to access the Google Play, either through the web or the app. I personally use Hide My Ass! and Super Free VPN to buy books and music.

Once I bought them I can access the contents without VPN.
