[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
ahh ok thanks for the info. after flashing cm 9.1.0 i can definitely tell the phone isn't getting as hot (according to spare parts, on inquisition the battery would go upwards of 35 celsius regularly, with cm it hasn't gone above 25), and the issue isn't happening anymore. thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
You won't believe it but I do have something. This will help to increase sensitivity but for the life of me I can't remember where I got it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
That's something I just can't understand...when people have troubles with Virtual Inquisition, that is. My wife runs it ALWAYS and I will jump back to it at least once a month for a while myself. It's always been one of the most stable, coolest running and longest battery life ROMs in my nandroids of my favorites. ANYway....give that flashable a try & see if it helps. The best I remember, you can reflash it until you achieve the sensitivity you're looking for. Good Luck!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
inquisition definitely was very stable and had great battery life, there is little doubt about that. i'm guessing i just didn't flash it correctly, and that caused some really high temps. other than that, i had no issues with it...for example, though, when i was running inquisition, if i left the phone in my pocket and forgot about it until say someone texted me/called me/i got a notification, and i checked the temps, it was at 30-35 celsius, and felt burning. again, i'm guessing i didn't flash it right.

also, thanks for the touchscreen fixer zip, if i have the issue again, i will flash it. fingers crossed i don't need it.

side questions about kernel flashing: 1) do i wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash the kernel zip? 2) is there a way to go back to the original kernel without having to flash the rom all over again?

thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Wipe user data/cache .....cache....dalvik....battery stats. All of them 3 times. (CWM has some small issues getting everything on the first shot) Then you flash your Rom. Let it set a minute or two. Lastly....Flash your Boot.img. Be sure not to just let windows just show what's in the .zip file and copy it out but highlightit and open it with Winzip (or whatever you use). EXTRACT it to where you flash your files from. If you don't do it like that it will remain partially compressed and you'll forfet the parts of your kernel that are. Once flashed, let it rest for 5 minutes and you should be good to go.

If flashing another ROM ALWAYS follow those rules but if reflashing with another kernel you can forgo clearing user data so you will keep your apps & their placement in your ROM. Just clear everything else reflash your ROM again & then your kernel. It will look just like it did but with the new kernel. If by chance you then have an issue with force closes just go back to recovery & fix permissions & it should straighten that right out.

BTW....If you are unlocked & S-On you will not be able to flash it from recovery in any form or fashion. You will always need to extract the boot.img file and "ADB fastboot flast boot boot.img" from your command window.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
i'm s-off so i don't need to worry about the boot.img extraction and all that, but the rest was very helpful, thank you very much!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Whenever anyone mentions overheating issues with the device - the first questions should always be:

Are you on a stock battery?

If so, then that is your problem.

I've forgotten to manage setcpu and left it running at 1.7 more often then anything, yet very rarely run into overheating issues...unless I go back to a stock battery (even without overclocking)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
i am on stock battery. good to know that it usually causes overheating...glad it's not happening with cm 9.1.0 though :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
the issue came back (although not as frequently) so i went to flash the zip that you attached... it says it's something relating to beats audio and then it errors out and the installation aborts. i looked at the files inside all have "beats" and "audio" in the filenames...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avirexone:
Can someone tell me please how I can change a stock ics rom for xperia p to a flashable zip file with cwm?

Or somebody can do that for me? Because I try everything but I can't with flashtool..... And also there's no custom roms right now.

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxcwen:
Hi,

I just gotten a new Galaxy S3 from AT&T and I decided to root the phone and wanted to flash it with a cuztomized ROM. My phone was successfully rooted and I tried flashing Android Revolution HD ROM ( a cuztomized rom from xda). Right after the phone done flashing the rom and was trying to reboot, it did not boot or turn on. I cannot even start the phone. The phone was just not gonna startup no matter what I did. I could not even go into the recovery mode or download mode so I could not do anything to fix it. Anyone can help me with this? Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
So you flashed a firmware without making sure it was for your device...ouch. Any sign of life? .. any vibrate when trying to power on?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxcwen:
Nope. Nothing at all. Am I supposed to send the phone to the AT&T service center?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Sounds like a brick :( .. sorry mate.

Well I think you might be able to get away with telling em you were doing an update through kies and the cord got yanked by your cat halfway through... or send it to someone for JTAG. There's a couple reputable buisnesses that do this and with a fast turnaround and relatively low cost considering the cost of the device.. maybe somewhere around $50 bucks (just a ballpark.. could be 60.. beats me) user connexion2005 does JTAG and I believe he has support for the S3! :)

..but lesson learned. Read, Read, Read .. I am sure the OP of the ROM you flash states plain and clear which device it's for. You need to know which device you have and are modding, and not by its generic name.. "GalaxyS3 international variant is an GT-i9300" .. not sure what the at&t variant is but its not GT-i9300 ;)

*edit* actually it doesn't state it in the OP that its for the GT-i9300 variant ... but it is in the GT-i9300 forum. :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxcwen:
I guess I will go for an exchange first since I just gotten the phone 4 days ago. If that doesn't work, I will try for JTAG. Just need to know where I can find the shop. I know they handle the business online, but they must have a shop to do the work, somewhere. Thanks anyway.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bikeracer4487:
So, when I was messing around with the Kindle Fire, at times it was farely easy for it to get stuck on certain screens, depending on what you set the bootmode to using fastboot. Anyways, after relocking the bootloader of my One X, I got stuck in the bootloader. I would try to reboot but it would just keep coming back to the bootloader no matter what happened. Evenetually, I installed the 1.85 RUU I downloaded and that got me out of the bootloader loop, but I was wondering if anyone might know what happened and how to get out of the situation without resorting to an RUU. With the Kindle Fire, the fastboot command was

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

so I was just wondering/hoping if there might be a similar command for the One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
When you relock the bootloader all you can do is install the ruu. So what you saw is normal.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kickingcans:
Hello, first time posted, long time browser...

So, I have a bricked (or almost totally bricked) LG G2X. Here is what I did:

I had flashed the Hellfire Sandwich 1.9 rom and was just fine...until my phone started turning off randomly. After reading somewhere here that I should nullify my phone and the re-flash the rom in order to fix my issue.

So, I backed up my data and downloaded the Aroma Nullifier from Volk (thanks for all you do). I booted to recovery and ran the Nullifier. Once the Nullifier had stopped, still while in Recovery, I tried to access my sdcard to re-flash my Rom...well, I couldn't access my SD card. Furthermore, I couldn't unmount the SD or mount the USB Storage.

Here comes the big mistake:

So, as I was doing some research about how to proceed, my USB cord wiggled out of the phone and my phone lost power. Now, since I had read from Volk not to let that happen, I knew I was in trouble.

At this point, I can only load into the LG Boot Screen and my computer loads drivers for "Asus Android Device" (I have the Asus Transformer Prime Tablet) and under that title "Asus Android Bootloader Interface". No APX, No USB Controller....no other communication.

Last little note, I took the phone to the Tmobile store on a hunch one of the guys who works there had some experience (which he did), and while he was trying to boot into recovery from battery power (something I have been unable to do) he got the USB communication interface...something like "S/W Do not disconnect".... Since then, I have not been able to reproduce that interface.

I am at the end of my abilities...I haven't seen anything that addresses this particular problem though I have tried a bunch of solutions without success. I have looked all through XDA forums, but if there is one I missed, please let me know.

Any thoughts would be very helpful.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] therealnexion:
If you haven't already, I recommend looking into nvflash. I'm almost certain you'll be able to fix this. nvflash works at a very low level, requiring that you connect your phone without a battery using a special startup sequence. You will need the APX driver (for Windows) to make it recognize your phone in this recovery mode. At that point, you should be able to flash CWM using nvflash and go from there. If you can't get into recovery, I seem to recall flashing the stock ROM itself with nvflash.

This thread should help you: forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1503546.html (I can't link yet)

Specifically, the link in the "I solved it" post.

Good luck, and let us know when you get it working :good:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kickingcans:
Thanks much...but...

Thanks for the thoughts. I will try that all again, but I have tried nvflash and tried updating APX drivers. My computer only recognizes the phone as an "Android Bootloader Interface". When I try to manually update/change the drivers for the "Android Device", there is a problem with 64-Bit operating System (Windows 7 Home Premium). I was going to try to boot the computer in Safe Mode, but I don't know if that will help.

I haven't been able to communicate with the phone, and only saw the S/W Upgrade screen once and that was in the Tmobile store without access to my computer.

I am going to try those suggested steps again. Thanks again.

I hear apple is using a lot of Microsoft technology they ripped.....

Will Microsoft lay claim to their patents ?
[Windows 8 General] TravisAntonio:
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think there is a law that Microsoft and Apple can't sue each other.
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
Its not a law but they do have a gentleman's agreement that they will not sue each. Only they know the ins and outs of the deal but they cross license each others tech. Long story short if they did start to scrap like apple vs Samsung then both will lose out in a very long and very expensive exchange of blows that will most likely do nothing but limit both companies progression and revenue.

Apple & Google

Hi all

I think it's actually a case of Apple and Google. In this case Samsung are a proxy for Google.

The problem started when Eric Schmidt, who was on the Apple board, started developing Android as a touchscreen smartphone OS (not the original intention) having learnt about the plans for the iPhone through his role on the Apple board.

Steve Jobs felt very personally betrayed over this and famously said that he would spend Apple's last dollar to destroy Google's Android.

The more damage Apple can do to any manufacturer's ability to make money from Android, the more they damage Android itself.

God bless

[Windows 8 General] StevieBallz:
Apple and Microsoft simply have been competing and coexisting in the Desktop space for a very long time. They had to find a way to deal with the whole patent situation in a way that would not interfer too much with both there businesses which means cross licensing of basic functionalities while they both retain some exclusives.

This is actually the case in most established markets. Motorola and Nokia have a cross licensing agreement as well.

When Apple and later Google entered the Smartphone sector though they began competing with the established manufacturers. Having no networking IP themselves (or very little IP at all in Googles case) but lots of new ideas for the operating system and UI this pretty much led to disturbances in the balance of power in that market. It will take some more time before all companies involved figure out what is what again and then the whole patent business will vanish from the news while the money changes hands for patents as it always has.

You're going to need the screen, and maybe the digitizer. I'd personally take it to sprint to fix because its gonna be cheaper than what they are charging there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] celticking:
If you do it yourself, prepare for a nightmare. There are things that the repair videos don't tell you and make it look easy. The battery is basically glued in, so taking it out feels like you're breaking it. Same goes for removing the cover under the glossy back of the phone. The camera kind of sticks to that and you'll feel like you're going to rip it right off the motherboard.

I went through this twice. Installed a new front half of the phone to find the replacement didn't work. Went through the entire process again with a different screen. Too much time spent doing this that I'll never get back.

Still cant believe its draining battery life so quick.

300mb memory free and less than 10% cpu usage whole time.

Sounds like something is wrong honestly. Did you do a factory reset after updating to ICS? Or did it come with ICS?
[LG Nitro HD] SeriousGeorge:
Something is definitely wrong if you're losing 30% charge sitting idle for two hours. When I had official ICS my phone wouldn't ever go to sleep and my my battery usage was terrible. No problems with Gingerbread, CM9, or CM10.

[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Hyperion battery, CM10, and Juice Defender make the phone worth having. I still carry a charger with me most everywhere I go, but at least I'm not frantically searching for a wall socket every 2 hours. The only down-side is that there are no cases for an extended battery; and as I found out, Zagg screen protectors most assuredly do not protect against drops. :eek:
[LG Nitro HD] joon82:
Installed cm10 and played with it for while.

Battery is still messed up. I've been installing apps and surfing while plugged in and it charged only 3% in one hour.(1.2a ac adapter)

Does hyperion battery make phone too bulky?
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
On CM10, my phone drains about 1% an hour when just idling. I have Gmail push email and Google Talk running in the background as well.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
If you're going to surf and all that, the battery will drain if you don't have the brightness down and possibly some way to throttle the CPU down. You are effectively using more energy than is being replenished.

It makes it about the same size as the phone with a stock battery inside the ballistic case without the silicon outside. But it's worth the money. Even on rooted GingerBread and the ICS leak I could still get right at a full day of moderate use from it.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I would agree something is causing a wake lock problem on your phone. Get better battery stats I think is free for being a forum member. It helped me find the offending app. In my case it was Whatsapp and more recently the update for power control widget. With AT&T official ICS I get 15 hours of light to medium use on the stock battery until I am at 50% and with the q-cell high caps city 15 hours of heavy use before it is at 50%. Under cm it was on about an hour longer before I hit 50%.
[LG Nitro HD] Victor B:
Also, if it's not getting a signal while in your locker, you will lose a lot of battery. I put my phone into airplane mode when I put it in my locker at work since it doesn't get signal in there. The other day I had it in my locker and forgot to put it in airplane mode, and I lost like 15% in 2 hours. I can put it in airplane mode and have it only drop 4% after like 6 hours.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Also, if you're like me and aren't in a 4G or LTE area, disable LTE and see a significant increase in battery life.
[LG Nitro HD] webbles17:
Hyperion gives me well over double usage. Well worth the money. Phone feels solid and not too thick. Try easy battery saver helps me a lot.
[LG Nitro HD] IRingTwyce:
I bought the Q-Cell battery after getting sick of charging the phone twice a day (with stock GB). After updating to the official ICS my battery life dropped to MAYBE 18 hours with the extended. After a week of this I finally read about having to do a factory reset. IMMEDIATELY after doing the reset, I began to have serious battery issues with the Q-Cell. Phone would not charge up past 57% no matter how long it would charge. If the charger was unplugged, the phone immediately shut off. If the phone was off and you plugged it in, it turned on. Took me almost two weeks before I was back home where the original stock battery is/was. Popped it back in and the phone seems to be back to normal.

I find it bizarrely coincidental that at the exact moment I did the factory reset the battery begins malfunctioning. :confused: So, I don't know if something in the ICS code keeps it from playing nice with extended batteries in general, or the Q-Cell specifically, or the Android gods decided to smite me down for no reason whatsoever.

Now to see if the reset fixed the battery drain issues or if my stock LG battery drains completely in around 3 hours. :silly:

But back to the original question, the Q-Cell gave me two full days with moderately heavy usage. But beware doing a factory reset with it installed, JUST IN CASE. :rolleyes:
