[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beungoud:
When i mean shutdown, my phone is totally off. Not in standby. That's why I was wondering if any body encountered the same issue.

my phone has been running like that for few months.

The problem happened from one day to the next. I didn't change anything on the day the problem happened.

I also had an other problem (probably not related): the vibrator was broken. I changed it and now it is OK.

I also tried with both official Samsung battery and a third party one.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oriain:
This has also been affecting me for a couple of weeks since I upgraded from CM9 nightly to stable build, although I'm sure that may not be the cause. I've since tried wiping battery stats, proper discharge/recharge of my battery, re-flashing the phone with different firmware and even got a new battery in case that was the problem.

No luck.

With data turned off, no animations, black wallpaper, brightness at lowest setting and not using wifi, games, mp3, I get about 12 hours. Last night, I turned off my phone and my battery went from 46% to 8% when I turned it on this morning.

If anyone has any idea what could be causing this I'd be very much in their debt.

Edit: Now I'm back on stock ICS 4.0.4 rom, rooted with CWM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynGates:
I have noticed the battery level of my phone significally dropping when restarted or it freezes but it seems as if the battery level slowly increases as it runs through the day.

Seems as if the phone is reading incorrect data from the battery but the actual values are greater.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oriain:
I thought that might be the case here too but my battery is actually draining flat in that time. After the phone turns off I pop it into another phone and it's completely dead. But it isn't the battery either because they both last about 2 days in another i9100. It's really confusing.

When flashing a new firmware, I do a factory reset/wipe, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats.... i have this problem no matter what I try to do.

Is it possibly a hardware problem? Or is it more likely that I'm doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblasi:
Same problem here. It's definetely a hardware problem. I've found some people with usb connection issues that also had drain problems. They fixed it by replacing USB flex cable part, which is cheap in ebay and not difficult to replace... However, I don't know if it will solve our drain problem since we do not have connection or charging issues... Any experiences? Ideas? Please...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adityawagle:
Probably an out of context answer since we are talking about shutdown and not standby. I used to lose 30% battery in standby overnight. Just disabling the location services got that number down to 5%.

I am on RevoltJB 2.5 with Dorimanx 5.85
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Have you tried different ROMs AND kernels? Or just stuck to one?

Also, did you try installing an app like CPU spy and checking if your phone goes into deep sleep or not? If it doesn't that's your problem right there.

Another thing you could do is use an app that monitors your battery's voltage. If its not approx 4100-4200mV at full charge, its not being charged fully and would explain a quick drain.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblasi:
Thanks for your answer. As the thread title says, this is about battery drain when the phone is completely shut down, which means a hardware issue. Before I noticed that, I tried lots of roms, kernels, modems and made a big cleanup of wakelocks using BetterBatteryStats, until I saw that my battery loses about 30% in 8 hours when it's completely powered down (that means no rom, kernel or modem running). Battery out of the phone doesn't have that drain. I tried even changing the battery with no better results. So, it's a phone related hardware issue. I've read about people with usb connection problems (no PC sync, no charging, autoreboot, etc...) that also had "hardware" battery drain. They fixed all problems by replacing USB flex cable part. Since I don't have connection issues I don't know if it would work in my case, but I'm so desperate that I just bought this part and will try to replace it when it arrives. If anyone had or know about this particular issue I will appreciate his opinion. Thanks!

Did you manage to solve your problems? I have the same battery draining problems, and found no solution (flashed a lot of roms and kernels, but the battery drain is still there)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furbyx92:
I have the same problem too, I have the 30% or a few more and the phone shutdown and I connect it and turn on again and says 0% battery, and charge until 100% and happen again in twenties or thirties. I have JB Deodexed Stock Rom and a NEW Samsung Battery.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblasi:
No, you cannot fix that since it's a hardware issue. Bring it to technical support. If you're on warranty period be sure to clean any trace of rooting, non-official rom, etc. Mine has been sent to factory to be repaired... 3 weeks waiting...

Tried rooting my galaxy note I717 at&t. Something went wrong and it was bricked. Used Stock Odin ROMs for all carriers: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1506330

Now the phone boots up and internet works but phone doesn't call out or in. I want to upgrade to ICS like it used to be.

Now when I go into Kies to upgrade it to ICS it says "SGH i717 does not support initializing"

How can I get ICS back on it and everything to work again?

See the thread for all the ICS and tools required...[Road & Ref Map]: Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717)

How do you put ROM's on? is it by using the Odin program? What is the best ROM to put on in your opinion?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
No offense but you really need to read more, otherwise you're going to keep running into issues. The link provided for you has all of the info you need.

Beyond that, what you need to do is pick a ROM you want to try, put it on your internal SD card, flash either cwm or twrp, then use that to flash the ROM you put on your internal storage. No need to root. Read up on everything I've mentioned and just take your time. These things are best not rushed. It won't take much to learn what you need to.

And there is no "best ROM"...its a matter of personal preference. Try a few out to see what you like.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overslept:
I'm looking for a method of syncing my music files to my phone so I can use it as my main MP3 player. There are some things that you should know first:

I use the stock Music Player that comes with the Galaxy S3, as it does everything I want it to (embedded album art, lossless formats). The only problem is with gapless playback; if Jelly Bean brings gapless playback to this player I'll keep it but if not, I'll switch to GoneMad

I keep my entire music library in one unorganized folder, with all the individual files just thrown into a folder. The files are all properly tagged though.

View attachment 1283328

I want to keep my music on my phone and have it be a carbon copy of my mp3 folder. For instance, Foobar2000 recognizes immediately whenever I make a change to the folder (change a song's tags, add a song, remove a song). I'd like to sync my phone like this; run a script or something and it'll sync to be exactly like my music folder.

My music totals up to be about 13GB. My phone is 16GB and the card is 8GB, which totals up to about 19.2GB. This is where most methods I've tried fail; they aren't smart enough to recognize my phone as one drive with combined memory. I'm actually not sure if any software can do this, that'd be great if it could. Otherwise it looks like I'll have to shell out money for a bigger SD card just so I can have all of the files on one drive :(

View attachment 1283327

It's a long shot, but I'm desperate here. Seems like syncing things to Android is harder than it should be. Google Music is not an option for me, sorry.

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj92942000:
This is a stretch but in early days of ics we used an app called directory bind. You could theoretically make one huge directory by binding external and internal directories into one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overslept:
I have a few gripes with using that software. It requires root, it's outdated which makes me believe that it won't work on later versions of ICS and/or Jelly Bean, and by reading the description I don't think that it does what I'm looking for. Besides, there must be some reason you guys stopped using it :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
If you don't want to root and want to have all of your music in one folder and have it "sync" then either get a bigger SD card or buy an iPhone. Simple.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overslept:
Okay, let's say I did get a bigger SD card.

Can you recommend a syncing method?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Personally I organise my music collection into album folders so I don't need to sync anything.

When I download something I copy the folder over.

That is Sucked

I have waited a TWO WAY SYNC option (FOR FLAC MUSIC) for very very long time on ANDROID

Doubletwist, i-sync etc are not useful here because they are stick to Itune.

I have used many time to search but it is nothing there.

My situation is

====================

I am using FOOBAR2000 as my major player. My entire Library is FLAC and APE music with tag and organized well

I am using an Galaxy S now

=====================================

What I want is:

TWO WAY SYNC from FOOBAR to ANDROID. (rating and playcount changes from the Phone can be synced back to FOOBAR)

Just LOSSLESS, don't transcode it.

=====================================

I have some ideas to search for but it is nothing

1/ Let Itune watch changes in FOOBAR (playlist, tag etc, but it is impossible) and sync to Android phone using isync or douletwist. That OK for two way sync but you need transcode all FLAC file to APPLE LOSSLESS

2/ Use Winamp, but this soft cannot have 2 way sync

====================================

Ahhhhhhhh, I just need a way to sync my lossless library to my Samsung. What the hell ANdroid only let you copy and paste music like very simple think. Music is a kind of thing that sticks to our feeling. so Smart playlist, rating, playcount should be REQUIRED for Synchronization

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rookiegenius:
I got this problem after applying the Tmo update. The system sound (the water ripple sound on lock screen, sound when restart/reboot) randomly goes muted. There is a slash across the system icon in settings/volume. There is no way I can turn that on again unless I restart the phone (set all the way up doesnt help since there is a slash indicating that it's muted). And this happened to me 3 times now. After restarting, the slash disappears and the system volume goes to Zero. Pretty sure the update causes this since I didnt have this problem before the update. anyone has the same issue?

P/S: all other sounds work fine, just the system sound messes up :( and now it works again...randomly.. gosh what happened to my phone :((

Im suspecting the app "hide it pro" causes some kinda conflict since it also has the function as audio manager... not really sure...
[HTC Sensation] paulblaz:
Hello there! this is my very first post, and i would like some serious help from all of you if possible.

I own a HTC Sensation, decided some time ago to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich from Ginger Bread, didn´t succeed so I was stuck on previous version, although I was able to S-OFF my phone but I realized I have downgraded my HBOOT to 1.17.1111. Phone was working fine with Ice Cream Sandwich again until it started to go slow and wanted to install a different ROM, here is where I come up with this new problem.

I went to HTCDEV and followed the steps, downloaded SDK tool but I wasn´t able to finish the tutorial, now the phone is useless, I can´t mount my sd card on recovery and my laptop (W7) won´t install MTP USB driver, I have replaced my sd card with a new one transferring a new ROM to install but when I try to ¨install zip file form sd Card¨on recovery, it doesn´t mount the sd card. I don´t know if you guys know what has happened to me, but I hope you can help me.
[HTC Sensation] gallardo5:
It may be a recovery`s fault. Try to flash recovery again via Bootloader, or format your SD Card. And I cna`r really understand, did you S-OFFed your phone? And if yes, why you tried HTCDev?

[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
As the post above me I am a little confused as to why you wanted to use HTC Dev when you said you were already S-Off. Anyway though I think your best bet is to flash the stock ROM via RUU. You may need to boot to the bootloader and select fastboot and enter the following commands.

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU

Then run the RUU to flash the stock ROM.
[HTC Sensation] asad510:
i was just about to say that this should work and hes not bricked if he can go on the recovery and hboot

I also had the problem like he has. And reinstalling recovery solved that, so try this, and if this doesn`t solve the problm, then try method from this guy;)

Hey guys, so my galaxy s2 has been running on RR 3.0.5 with the latest siyah kernel. A problem I've been having is frequent media corruptions, and to solve that, I thought reformatting the internal storage would help. After doing so, it doesn't recognize my sdcard. What can I do to fix this? :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markuzy:
Ah, then it is not possible to format from within the phone under Settings>Storage>Format USB card?

The phone should be able to format it.

If not, plug the microSD into the computer and format it as FAT32.

If still does not work, try to format it via another phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richcity64:
As of right now, the problem is in the phone because it won't recognize my sd card. I have swapped sd cards with another one, and again, it doesn't recognize.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Guess: You don't have the mount point any more after the reformat. Recreate it. Hope you know what's it called.

I.e. create the directory /sdcard/external_sd or what it's supposed to be called.

Check in /etc/vold.fstab, it should be found there, the name of the mount point.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richcity64:
Not exactly sure how to do that... :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
So in non Samsung Android phones we don't have an internal SD card. Using root explorer, we see /sdcard/ and that is our microSD. For Samsung devices, /sdcard/ is actually the internal sd card, and what kuisma is saying is that the folder of the external sd card must be in /sdcard/something.

He is trying to say that the /sdcard/something was erased, and you have to create the folder which the external sd card is in (mount point). And instead of "something" the folder should be named something else (unknown right now) but you should be able to find the correct name in /etc/vold.fstab
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Create an empty directory /mnt/sdcard/external_sd using your favourite tool (file explorer, mkdir or whatever ...). Restart the phone. See if it works now.

Second, search about games on ICS, you will understand that they don't work same as on GB.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathSum:
I forget to put title and report it. And I am searching but can't find something useful.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
You can edit your post, after pressing edit go to advanced mode and there you can edit your title.

Basically ICS is not game friendly OS.

It's relatively new OS and a lot of game developers didn't edit their games to work good on ICS.

And even if some of them did that, ICS is RAM hungry OS, and there is possibility that games won't work nicely.

In AOKP or AOSP rom thread's there are some andreno libs in flashable zip, some report that some games work better(or just work) after that. Search for it in those threads.

I am new at XDA-Developers so I'm going to learn things :) I saw a Special ROM that supports games like Gingerbread but I don't want to flash my original ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] voodoochild2008:
My only hope for Samsung is that they take a huge risk with the next phone, they have the tech to blow any phone away and I hope they set a new level far beyond other phones.

As we have seen Samsung are sitting on some very nice processor/gpu chips, add to that the whole flexible screen tech and other stuff we have yet to see.

They can bring it out when they like but as with most companies they give it to you in little stages, I mean look at the PS3 Xbox360, both have been around far too long, the new machines should have been out a year or so ago, the problem was/is us, we kept buying the machines, there was no reason for the companies to bring out new tech as we are happy to spend money on these ones, most firms will not move on if the old product is selling well.

Its kind of like this for our phones, why jump from say a 1mp camera to a 10mp when people will be happy with a 3mp, then the year later do a 5mp, if you jump to the extreme early on you soon run out of new things to help sell a product (Look at the Iphone3/3g/3gs and its little changes that were wow to so many and yet really were “are you kidding me my i8910 does that and more”)

Anyway point been Samsung can bring out a phone that will blow us all away, it would really screw other firms as it would force them to use tech they were dripping out to us, this is not something they want to do as it puts production costs up and it means they have to get creative, all these things cost a company a load of money.

If Samsung could afford to do this it would sort a lot of issues out, it would help show the world just how bad Apple really are, it would put an end to Samsung having to conform to Apple lawyers and turn it all around.

Maybe its just a silly thought but they can do this, it all comes down to cost, but I think the loss/maybe loss on the next tech would be worth it just to put them way ahead of the game.
