[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
So why start another thread.. just makes more work for the mods. We have a very active thread on the matter and our own forum mod Veyka even made a sticky for the discussion of JB update. It would make sense to post in one of those. This does nothing but clutter our forums. :(
[Galaxy S III General] cantIntoCode:
You should get your facts correct before posting. Nothing was ever said to be coming today. If you choose to believe rumours thats your fault but there is no need to spam XDA with pointless crap like this thread.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
There was a rumor across XDA that it may be released today, and most people believed it to be true.

So what if people want to believe it, it doesn't hurt you. People have every right to believe what they want and shouldn't be ganged up on for doing so.
[Galaxy S III General] gavin-phelan:
I thought samobile confirmed it to be realeased today
[Galaxy S III General] cantIntoCode:
Again, there is countless other threads which could have been posted in.

Also there is a sticky: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1858813 which was posted way before this thread was opened.

So please, go talk JB there.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Well yeah, he should have posted in an existing thread, but I hate it when I see someone attacking another user for making a new thread, leave it to the mods its their job to do what is necessary, all you had to do was report and leave.
[Galaxy S III General] gavin-phelan:
I hate the way people hate when people open new threads. I knew that them thread were there but i didn't think my question suited them. Except. That discussion thread which i never seen before
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
It keeps the forum tidyer if you post in an existing thread on the same subject. I agree with that, I just don't agree with members of the forum personally attacking users for not doing so.
[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
Thread closed, we have a sticky dedicated to JB discussion.

Hey all, I have been looking everywhere for an app or method to remotely transfer files to AND from my android device from my pc, without the restriction of having to be on my local network wifi. I'm beginning to think there may not be one available, although I can't see why not.

Any Ideas?
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
If all you need is file transfering, try an FTP server.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Dropbox?
[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
Pocketcloud, or teamviewer used with dropbox can accomplish this. Remote access your pc, copy file to dropbox, and download to sd card. A little tedious, but works for me.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Those all sound like they need WiFi, sounds like he's look to use Bluetooth? I mean you got to use something.
[HTC Rezound] muertecaza:
Agreed that dropbox or similar cloud storage may be your best bet. Just set up the desktop client to sync to a folder on your computer, and to go back to your phone, you can use a program like Dropsync, which offers two way syncing between phone and dropbox.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
for Bluetooth transfers..assuming you have a BT adapter...try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.medieval.blueftp
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Are you rooted?
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
He said he doesn't want to be on his local wifi as in he wants to be able to do this away from home. And no all those don't need wifi
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I vpn into my work network and then use es file explorer to get the files I need.
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
I wish somebody could get sshdroid or quicksshd to work over 3G or 4G, but I don't know enough about VZs network. If that works for somebody, then let me know.

One could use Tasker to maintain a VPN connection. I use VPNRoot.

Team viewer now can control droid remotely.

A phone as a PPTP server would be ultimate.

Hello, my friend has got a problem with USB debugging. When he enables USB debugging and connect phone to computer adb not detect his phone. He must select HTC Sync like USB connection type and after this adb detect your phone. I tried this on my computer with my USB cable and same problem. He has stock rom (2.3.5) without root. And on my phone it is work without HTC Sync. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Does he have the HTC drivers installed on his computer?

What OS is his PC running?
[HTC Incredible S] Lukas1212:
Yes he has. His OS is Windows 7 x64 like my. Can him help reinstall rom with RUU? Because on my phone it works without problem and without HTC Sync.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Besides have ADB Debugging enabled, he should also have the USB connection set to Charge Only, not HTC Sync or Disk Drive. This is not a ROM issue that, it is simply a setting and driver issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtseidner:
I know there is a thread for the latest system update but I thought we should have our own thread to discuss radio experience.

For me it's nothing short of amazing! I am such a happy camper right now. I work in a brick building and I could hardly ever hang onto a 4G signal. I would say the phone was staying in 3G 90% of the time and 10% 4G.

Flashed the latest radios and over the last 4 hours I have had a solid 4G signal all day! I can finally use my 4G signal at work! It's been horrible because we don't have wifi in my building. I have heard that handoff between wifi and 4G is quick but I havent been able to test yet.

How's everyone else's experience?

I say go flash this now! http://rootzwiki.com/topic/33228-jro03o-radios-for-toro-ff02fg02/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fstall303:
Nice. Thanks for the quick link. Didn't have to read through the other forum to find it. At work downloaded the zip on my phone, flashed through cwm and boom. New awesome radios
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] famester:
That's all I have to say about that. I know speed test is not reliable but its something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtseidner:
Damn! Especially that large of a jump! I haven't even done a speed test...I'm just glad to be able to even grab 4G haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] famester:
Everything is so much snappier now. My signal strength stays at four bars constantly too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
I unfortunately didn't get any speed tests from 4.0.4 radio but I did do the latest from 4.1.1.

Not sure if I should be happy or sad?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Got a nice signal bump in my house, went from 2 to 4 bars... awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pwrmedia:
Very, very happy with the new radio release.

I was one of the many unlucky Nexus users with the 4G/radio drop, and had been resigned to using strictly 3G in order to simply have a usable phone outside of being on a WiFi network. For such a good phone, this issue had me literally hours away from finally returning it back to BB since it is w/i the 30 day return window and getting a new phone altogether.

After flashing the radios this morning, I have had no signal drops, constant 4G and no delays or hiccups of note. Whatever they fixed, hopefully it remains!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtseidner:
Yep, these are the radios it should of shipped with out of the box! I've been struggling with similar issues for almost a year!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modernbummer:
I usually get a good signal in the building where I work and at home. I've flashed the new radios and haven't noticed any huge improvements. Nothing is worse either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
I flashed the new radios, too early for me to tell since where I am in NYC I always got 4G, but I just tried a few speedtests lucky if I get 5 Mbps

I don't think I have ever seen anything higher then that unless I am on wifi, how do you get such great speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
I just think the new radio show more bars but they didn't increase my signal or anything...

its -100dbm and I have full bars all the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] famester:
I live in reno nv so not very many people on the network as compared to NYC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
Nothing changed for me at all. I've always had a good signal going back to 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
No noticeable change of anything here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SirVilhelm:
Wanted to echo what you said. I was in the same exact boat! I haven't used 4G in months because I would loose data constantly and people would tell me that when they called it would go into fast busy. I am now hitting 24 hours on 4G after the radio update and not a complaint! I certainly hope this is the fix:good:

Side note: I haven't noticed an increase in signal but as long as my data stays I don't care.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xerodark:
I've had a big jump in speed. I live just outside a 4G area and before these radios I would get about 2 bars and of was alright to use it, but used WiFi most of the time. Now I would rather use my 4G because its faster than my WiFi, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
I had a good first day with it, it seemed to hold signal at work better (which it usually drops in certain areas of building a bit). Still same visible bars and such...I'm not prepared to declare it better yet, but am optimistic that it will be an improvement for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Everyone has LTE phones here in LA :( no 30mbps for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LexusBrian400:
Same old same old for me. Constant data drops... 55 percent without signal time. usually 44 percent without signal on the older radios (house is built like a bomb shelter, literally) so if anything, its worse now.

bah humbug :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtl171:
to be honest, the easiest way is to just borrow a pc for the initial rooting using odin. afterwards, you can just use adb on your mac to copy files to and from your phone.

Using AOKP.

So my phone got pretty wet recently (over a week ago). It seemed to work OK immediately afterwards but the past 2 days its been acting up. As of right now, I cant answer or make any calls. I can see calls come in but when I slide the icon to answer it, it locks up and reboots almost instantly. It only does it when I go to answer the call, not if I hang up on the incoming call. Its like its having a problem switching over to the live call. The same thing happens when I try to dial out. Once I put in the number to dial, and hit the call icon, it locks up and reboots.

The next issue is the auto-dimming of the display stopped working. I can manually adjust it but it wont adjust by itself. I can live with that.

The last issue is with USB, it doesnt seem to recognize the connection anymore. My computer sees the phone, but it doesnt talk to it. I can live with that too, just pointing it out.

Its acting as if its a software problem but I dont know the phone works internally when answering a call. I tried to wipe and restore an old Calk ROM and the same problem happens. I also tried a different Phone.apk dialer with no luck. Im pretty sure its hardware related, but is there anything I can reset? Or is the phone garbage now?

Water is a creeping beast, the short-circuiting is the immediate effect, that goes away when it dries obviously.

Then the moisture corrodes the components inside. That's why you'll see problems a week or two later; what you are describing sounds like classic liquid damage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
You should've soaked the phone in isopropyl alcohol, left it out in the sun or inside a bag of rise instead of continue use. Welcome to phoneless ville, population: you

Open it up clean the entire board with alcohol and a toothbrush. Leave no trace of corrision. Remove any liquid indicators. Then bring it to an asc location. They will replace it if they don't find the corrosion. If anything looks burned your s.o.l.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
If you remove the liquid indicators they will simply hand your phone back. They know you are trying to "trick" them. And obviously Samsung has them so the would have been on previously. Tamper evident ya know... also the bleach trick doesn't work. They have solutions to test for that. As well as the papers not being actually white anymore. Its now a faint yellow

I also had water damage to mine. Phone was completely submerged for a couple seconds. Let it dry out and all that good stuff. Phone worked flawlessly for about 4-5 months, then the power button wouldn't work. So what everyone says about water damage getting you sooner or later is true.

Yup special white strips that turn pink if exposed to water I believe. Or at least that's how the iPhone is lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Best thing to use if you can't wait to order denatured alcohol in a waterlogging incedent is liquid rain-x windshield treatment, its only ingredient is denatured alcohol. Otherwise if you use isopropyl make sure is 90% or higher, found at the pharmacy. Regular isopropyl alcohol is almost 30% water. I have 95% iso for larger items cuz its cheap(like $3 for just under a litre) and rain-x is like $8 for about 6oz but it works for detail cleaning contacts and solder points. High grade or denatured alcohol, a hairdryer with a air only setting, and a 98¢ bag of white rice with a gladware container are the best things you can have if you send your electronics for a swim or decide they look thirsty and share your drink with them :thumbup:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anti-up:
Not true. I'm run an asc location and I personally have done a.e's on phones with missing or even red liquid indicators. They mean absolutely nothing. They can turn red just from taking a shower with your phone in your bathroom. There has to actually be corrosion or burned circuits on the board to be deemed d.b.r. (damaged beyond repair) which then requires an insurance claim.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
I was wondering about that. Seems like any place where it's humid or moist would trigger the sticker on your phone. It's not a fail-proof idea like they'd like you to think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryank930:
DO NOT put rain-x on your phone!

http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/06/st_whatsinside_rainx/

Why would you even think to do that? Plain old denatured alcohol is all you need and it can be found by the gallon at any hardware store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
So, just to follow up. Since the phone was acting pretty crazy the past few days and phone calls were useless, I went ahead and did a full wipe and decided to try out CM 10 since I hadnt checked it out yet. Oddly enough, phone calls are working and the auto dimming feature is working as well. USB still isnt working. I didnt make any changes to the phone other than wiping and installing CM10 and GAPPS. Ill set this up and see how it goes the next few days. AOKP definitely started having some issues anyway, but it was wierd that it had the same problem after restored an old back up of Calk ROM. Maybe its not a brick after all :)

Hi everyone- first time poster, long-time reader, maybe you can help me out. I'm running the latest CM10 nightly, unlocked, rooted of course.

I'm surprised that no app is responsible for such terrible battery life. Usually its the Network Locator by Google maps or the the GTalk sync that causes the problem.

No issues. I've been using it for a while. No problems whatsoever.

Sent from a GT-I9100 having a mind of its own
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Explanation:

-flashing a custom kernel has nothing to do with apps

-What kills battery most in stock kernel apart from apps and radios is the kernel - worker and fuel alert wakelock.

-in your own case since no apps is causing wakelock, then a kernel can be of help.

My advise:

-If you are presently satisfied with your battery life, then there it's no need to flash any more thing

-If you are sure no apps drain your battery, but still not satisfied with your battery, monitor that,

i. 2G network saves more battery than 3G, 4G

ii. Turning off Bluetooth, GPS, Autosync, Wi-Fi, Network location (under settings-location), App notification and Google ads in Google playstore settings, saves a lot of power.

-Connecting to a Wi-Fi network saves much more power than using mobile data

-If after trying all the steps above, you are still not satisfied with your battery, then you might have to flash a custom kernel.

-Most custom kernels save much more power than the stock kernel

i. Speedmod kernel gives relatively best battery life if you don't want to change anything. This may be good for you as a beginner.

ii. Siyah, Dorimanx and dream kernels give great customisation.

Hope you find this post helpful enough.

If you have more questions,do let me know.

Good luck
