I want to flash custom roms but I don't want to be that guy to lose his imei. Now question is. If I backup my stock rom via cwm and flash a rom and get unlucky and lose my imei and then just restore my stock backup will I be okay?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] werdna87:
easiest is to just flash synergy. it backs it up for you without doing anything and, in my opinion, an awesome rom to try first anyways
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyunny:
I don't believe restoring your nandroid will fix your imei. You should backup using qpst and also with the flashable zip that synergy has now implemented to be safe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imablackhat:
synergy made a script you can flash in cwm to back it up but it's not proven to restore yet since no one has had to

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] werdna87:
In total? How do you know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imablackhat:
Haha yeha how do you know? I've flashed like a total of three times today and just reverted back to stock. Stock rom still the best for me.. I miss the jelly bean awesomeness from my gnex. Can't wait for it to be stable.

What if! If we always waited for what if we would get no where. Take your chances live life to fullest and just have fun! Take all the precautions and take your licks as they come. This is strong commuity and there is always help here. So go out there and flash some roms and enjoy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Isn't there a way to also back up using terminal emulator right on your device? I believe the file gets back up right on your SD card and then you can restore from there....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OutdoorOBW:
That backs up your EFS partition, block or what ever you want to call it. Restoring that will allow you to get data back but you will always be roaming. I have backed up my EFS, backed up using QPST and did the manual way of backing up Synergy style. You can never be too safe. Synergy is a nice rom but if you don't want to flash it there is directions on how to pull the info that the Synergy script does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks for the info.

So if you just root and unlock there is nothing to worry about with this I assume? Also, TW ICS Roms should be safe? Is it just when flashing an JB ROM this issue can arise?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OutdoorOBW:
Just rooting and unlocking you should be fine. Flashing any ROM has the possibility of losing your IMEI but it seems more prevalent on AOSP ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Moral of the story is even if you back up your imei your probably gonna be stuck on roaming forever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imablackhat:
So what's the point of backing it up if you lose it and restore it you are still stuck with a roaming device. And not functioning how it should be stock.

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think it shows an R for roaming but you are actually not roaming. So your device supposedly is working, just has a graphical glitch. At least the device works I guess but still sucks and would send back for another one anyway.

Wonder why if this gets screwed they make it impossible to recover from. Even if you bring it to Verizon they can't do anything about it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imablackhat:
If this happens and you have insurance. You 'lost your phone' and get a new one haha

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] codaassassin:
Hi,

When im using my S2, there would be this annoying pop up saying "Connected to Wifi ..." like every few minutes to maybe an hour. I looked on Google for fixes but I could not find any. Than I noticed that right before it showed the pop up, the wifi bar was gone so I'm guessing that my wifi connection has been dropped?

So it keeps disconnecting and when it reconnects it has the pop up "Connected to Wifi Network ..."

Does anyone else have this problem? Its new so no need for a factory reset.

Its on the stock ICS update (4.0.3) and not rooted or anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] codaassassin:

I have the same issue and i have noticed it only happens at the same 2 places, so it leaves me to believe it is a router issue. At home all i did was unplug my modem and router for a couple of minutes, plugged them backed in and haven't had any more issues. But i would pay attention to were it is happening.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] toughmenot:
Same problem...

Hi I am also facing the very same issue with my gs2 when I switched to a new wifi router recently. I did not have any issues earlier. I tried some trials and noticed the following..

1. The problem exists with this particular router only.

2. there are other devices working normally in harmony with this router

3. The problem disappears and everything gets smooth and cool when one more device gets connected to the router(wonder how this happens)

4. Same issue with my galaxy tab

I have gs2 with ics 4.0.3

cisco dpc2320 cable modem with wifi router

Any ideas to solve this...???

Hey Community

I was wondering if anyone else has or is experiencing issues with syncing facebook contacts with the Transformer TF700.

Although I have the sync contacts option checked, it does not sync them. If someone has experienced this issue and know of a solution, would you please be so kind as to share the solution

Thanks in advance :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] DonDallas71:
From what I have noticed, Facebook contact sync has not worked on Ice Cream Sandwich since the beginning. My old ICS tablet and Samsung Galaxy Nexus with ICS have the same issue. My workaround was to install "Friendcaster for Facebook" and "Facebook contact Sync" which allows me to sync contacts from 2 separate Facebook accounts with Android simultaneously. I then went into my online google calendar and linked it to both Facebook account calendars so that syncs birthdays as well. Just google "facebook calendar to google calendar" for instructions on linking them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ewells38:
Hey DonDallas71

Just wanted to say THANKS !!!!:D

The solution of friendcaster for facebook worked like a charm

Thanks again :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] james6491:
I know that this has kind of been answered but I would like to add that there is an app called haxsync that's is very good at syncing Facebook contacts. It cost about a dollar but it's well worth it.check it out.

Hello XDA pros!

Recently I got the latest OTA update on my HOX but after the update I'm noticing battery is going down from 100% to nothing during the time I sleep which is just like 5 hours to the maximum.. battery is getting used b android os, please help... it's annoying me :@

@Op,

My battery is charging when I sleep, I'm feeling fresh in the morning.

You must be doing something wrong. :cyclops::laugh:
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
You clearly have something running that is draining your battery like crazy, either find out which app and remove it or perform a factory reset.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
just do not go to bed and then you know the battery will still be fully charged..:D:D:D

just messing mate..just download BBS to find out what causes the battery to drain and find out what app is the culprit
[HTC One X] johnny8910:
I know it's a pain in the arse, you could also try a factory reset.

If you do? Don't forget to back up any important stuff like phone numbers ect.
[HTC One X] i900frenchaddict:
Draining battery completly within 5 hours with screen OFF, your device must almost be hot at the end of this!

There's indeed something preventing your device from going into deep sleep and using its specific low-consumption core for it. Tegra 3 can drain battery pretty fast when screen is on and using its full potential, but standby time is pretty good

Do as said above, finf what app is responsible, or if you can't, do a facory reset
[HTC One X] mushimba:
is there any free app I can use? i don't have a way to buy those apps from the store... bbs isn't free last time i checked..

I can't really factory reset :( i have lots of important things, not worried about contacts they are linked on my email.

I know this is like the 800th thread I made about this but, I have 2 3600mAh batteries, both sometimes draining within a day... =/ I bought them from ebay. A few other people bought them on this forum too. The batteries I bought were...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extended-Ba...ccessories&hash=item27be19414f#ht_2727wt_1163

This battery has lasted me well, but could it be the way I'm charging them? With the wall charger it came with? Should I just let the phone die completely and let it charge via USB in the phone itself or what?

I uninstalled Juice Defender, Kik Messenger, and other apps to see if I was eating up my battery. My ROM is the UK 2.3.3 and I'm overclock with...

No-frills CPU:

Max clock 1.306GHz

Min Clock 364Mhz

Way to get best battery life? DON'T OVERCLOCK

Idk what your experiences is it may depend on what brand of battery your using. It may not be true 3600mA battery I have a MUGEN battery 3600mAh and that battery lasted me 2.5 days with moderate use but my settings are low brightness, turn off wifi when you dont need it, no overclock. But if I keep the same settings and I overclock to 1.2 ghz I get about 1.8 days worth of battery life. Do you get the picture dont overclock for long periods of time.

i love the yahoo news ticker for lock screen but it does not have news available for portugal..

anyone knows a way to add other countries?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyan2011:
Ello,

Okay do this

1. Open app drawer and slide or touch to widgets and scroll down to the Yahoo! News widgets.

2.Once you place the Yahoo widget on your home screen click on any news article within the widget.

3.Once you do you'll get a selection of news on the top you'll notice an light sliver color status with the settings and refresh.

4. click on settings and select the country settings to the country you live in.

I'm sorry at the moment there isn't a fix the only closest thing you can select is the Brasil (Portugues) i'm sure your already aware of that. But if you like the ticker animation you can try using this app called NewsFlash!

Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ne.hardyinfinity.newsflash.general.india

You get the same animation ticker like in a widget with news feed support on your home screen.

White iPhone 3Gs had that problem. It was caused by combination of two things, overheating and the chemical they used in order to make new phone's back look shiny.

i have a samsung galaxy s (gingerbread 2.3.3) and after doing some tweaking there was a problem with the google search widget. when i open it up it says: the application google search process com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox has stopped. i did manage to find a temporary fix for this by reinstalling the stock apk i found from a website. however every time i reboot the device the message appears again and then i have to reinstall it again to make it work. This is very annoying how can i fix this? is it some kind of autostart issue?Any help would be appreciated :)
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Quite likely. When you re-installed it, did you make it a system app?
[General Questions and Answers] DanTheMan62:
yes i believe it it is a system app

it did say that its going to replace a system application but i believe it must be a bug in the autostart. is there anyway i can fix this?thx for your reply i appreciate it.:) you have earned a thx for caring
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Try making it a system app. Right now its probably installed as an update to the system app, but its better if it remains by itself. This can be done in many ways. You could use Titanium Backup, or simply place the app in /system/app/ (and set the permissions).
[General Questions and Answers] DanTheMan62:
dont work

i tryed to copy and paste it using es file explorer but it said that it failed. Any ways even if i do get past that how do i set the permissions ?
[General Questions and Answers] guggi4:
Or maybe delete the whole apk with titanium backup or a root explorer, reboot and install it again.

Happened to me with apex launcher and this solved the problem
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Titanium Backup - Select the app in the list and choose "integrate update into ROM".

Manual Way - Use Root Explorer, etc. to copy and paste the file in /system/app/. Make sure you mount it as R/W first. Using Root Explorer, long press the file and choose permissions. It should be set to "rw-r--r--".

Reboot after either of these methods.
