[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
Having owned the original Galaxy followed by s2 and s3 id say each new version has about 30% advantage over its predecessor. Galaxy didnt get me through a day, the s2 could just about scrape a day of my usage and the s3 leaves me with about 20% when its time for bed.

Its all relative to usage but my phone behaviour hasnt changed much over the devices and the s3 just about hits that smartphone sweet spot for me... a whole day of usage with a bit more left over just incase i cant get to a charger :)

Hope this helps

Forgot to add about charging performance. Havent actually timed a charge but its pretty fast using the sammy charger. I do have some old chargers that arnt sammy ones and they do seem a little slower probabky due to the limited current they can punch out.. I also tweaked the charging currents to max the current the device charges in siyah kernal. Havent tested if this affects charging times but id say it defo isnt slow. On holiday at the mo but if i get time ill post some charge graphs when i get time.

Never had an s2, but this is my ninth android phone. Not that it's a very scientific gauge but battery life is easily the best I've ever seen on an android phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josefmawas:
Galaxy s3 battery life is much better, even the Galaxy s2 had a 2000mah battery, the Galaxy s3 is better

Had a galaxy s2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbuzz1967:
I too have had all the galaxy s variants. battery life is relative to rom and kernel as well as usage.

personally speaking my S3's battery life is very good using Rohit V11 and Siyah 1.5.2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
Concerning charging, what do you call pretty fast? My s2 takes about 4 hours to charge, mmHg Xperia play less than two hours...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
In fact the Xperia play takes just one hour to charge... And discharge much slower too!

Charging at which taste already? (SII charger at 650mah)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larision:

I'm back in the hospital again, so I'm having a hard time with my searching. And I was hoping that someone could tell me in the right direction to the commands I will need to change h boot from relocked security warning to where it says locked instead of re locked.

Any help would be great as I am in dire need of it.

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Youll need to s-off and flashy an RUU for it to say locked. Then you can s-on with a simple command.

But don't quote me on this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
Anyone else?

That's the only way man :(

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
What double0 said is the only 100% guaranteed way, just remember not to flash the jb hboot after s-off and to s-on again via the fastboot writesecureflag 3 command.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
So obtain soff, flash ruu, and then it'll say locked only? Or do I also need to run command in adb?

Thanks for getting patient with me, chemo is a *****
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Yup, the command in adb is to s-on back, sorry to hear about your hospitalization, stay strong.

Please DO not i repeat, DO NOT flash the jb hboot after s-off or use the unlock file from htc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
Writesecureflag3 is the command?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
You want to make sure your phone is COMPLETELY stock before turning your phone into its S-ON state. This means NO custom recovery, NO custom ROMs, NO custom anything. DO NOT UNLOCK THE PHONE.

After you've made sure the phone is at 100% stock, then type in the command (while your phone is in fastboot, of course):

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

to restore your phone into its S-ON state. Nobody here, including myself, is responsible if you brick your phone because you neglected to make sure your phone was on stock before doing the command.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I'm pretty bugged out that I have to flash multiple things just to get from one ROM to another. Especially when flashing back to stock.

This is a request, there is no reward, I am not forcing anyone to do it, you can pick up the request or not. This is for the entire communities benefit.

Now we have cleared things so no one complains "Oh how rude you are asking our developers to do something, you got some nerve."

Since most of our ROM's are now ICS and some of them require CM9 before flashing, I thought why not a One-Click ICS? It would be beneficial for allot of people.

I would do it myself however I have no Android development experience.

So if anyone has allot of time and has experience with making One-Clicks, you have my respect and probably the entire SGS4G community.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
First, there is no stock ICS for this phone so you'll still need to go back to GB to be "stock". Second, I flash from ICS to ICS to ICS without ever going back to stock or CM9. With most of the new builds there is no need to. The only time I ever have to use Heimdall anymore is when one of Eriks "test builds" completely hoses me.(JK that actually almost never happens).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Im sure as soon as I post this 30 people will post saying they just created a one click to ics. so...

It cant be done. The PIT file needs to be edited to reflect the mtd file system.

Really what needs to be done is these ports requiring you to flash to cm9 first should be using the same install scripts as cm9 so you can flash directly to it from stock. At this point if a rom says flash so and so first I dont try it. Because if they are using the scripts from cm9 there shouldnt be a reason to flash cm9 first. I might sound rude or whatever but its simply a matter of convenience.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Thanks for the awesome, understandable replies guys!

Lol Hechoen I see you taste some of Erik's custom recipe's before anyone does XD

And yes eollie it is for convenience :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Lately I get to see them even before he does. lol He's got a pretty sweet one coming up that I think people are gonna dig. No ETA's but something about built from source AOSP?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Uh oh... is search broken?

How rude, wanting

convenience

. HAHA. Me too! I want that sauce!

Why do you need to flash cm9 before flashing other ics roms? Can't you just fix that stuff in the updater.sh and updater-script? Or is that not

convenient

? <hehe, sarcasm again...>

Yea, so here is the thing. The oneclick uses the bootloader to do it's magic. The bootloader only speaks in BML and RFS. It knows nothing of MTD, yaffs2, or ext4. It also gets it's partition information from the Partition Information Table (pit), which is also laid out for BML/RFS.

So basically, Your question is: Make us some new bootloaders!

This is not something I can do overnight, but have been investigating since my phone got unbrickable mod.

There is a lot of information to collect, and I am collecting this information in little chunks everytime we get another feature of cm9/aries working properly.

Unfortunately, my work on a new bootloader for this phone is stalled until I can get a new job (yes, unemployment only pays for me to pay some minor bills and eat.) so that I can afford to buy the equipment I need to do such a thing.

Once we have a new bootloader, we can just fastboot each partition just like the Google phones and HTC devices. Wouldn't that be great. Yea, thats what I was thinking too. Glad we are on the same page now ;)

It's too bad that you didn't search the forums, or you would have found me saying this months ago.

But people keep opening new threads about stuff, and you know we are gullible and will answer, because it is more

convenient

to ask then it is to search.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Lol bhundven, you even went on the trouble of adding a underline XD

Anyways, yes I do understand the matter and I do understand it is NOT an overnight thing. I'm just hearing (seeing) these things right now, like I said not really experienced. I also try to read as much in the forums as I can.

I also hope I'm not in your bad side :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
My post was mostly sarcasm... besides the point about needing new bootloaders.

My bad side is notifying moderators. At the time of this writing, this thread is still open with no one sending abuse reports... ;)

I don't ignore people, because then I see people laughing or getting angry around one of the people I ignore in a thread, and I don't get to understand why it is funny or anger causing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I'm dearly sorry Bhudven-Sama, I shall not fail you again!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Sounds like the people that assemble FrankenROMs need to learn how to script the updater. Once you're on MTD, there shouldn't be any reason to do anything but let the supplied installer run.

Flashing back to stock? There is a one-click for that. Takes you from MTD to GB stock. I'm pretty sure that someone even made one with an AntonX kernel, root, and recovery all in one shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I hadn't mentioned last night, but I've actually been messing with how to make a one click for ICS roms, particularly AOKP. When the rom gets built from source, we also get a system image file that we SHOULD be able to flash via heimdall. The thing is that there seems to be some kind of limitation of the filesize of this image, and the image flash fails at the exact same spot every time.

I've tried to look up information on how to make heimdall be able to flash the whole file but found nothing promising. Even some of the people from the mozilla boot to gecko team had tried to modify the heimdall source code to allow the file to be flashed but they had no luck either.

Admittedly, I haven't tested to see if an ICS boot.img/system image will flash via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Ok, so yea, we can probably make a heimdall flash that will flash bootloaders and kernel for an MTD rom, but you'd have to do some manual things still (which is why I prefer flashing back to stock):

flash back to stock

backup your efs

oneclick cm9/ics rom.

restore your efs manually.

flash cm9/ics rom after the oneclick is done.

so, compaired to:

flash back to stock

reboot to recovery

flash cm9/ics rom

you are just making things more difficult.

The thing is, you shouldn't need to flash back to stock if you are going from cm9 to any other ics/mtd rom.

And you shouldn't need to flash to cm9 if you want to flash any other ics rom.

The developers of those roms are just being lazy (imo) and need to modify their updater.sh and updater-script to work like the cm9 scripts do. Fixed.

When we get new bootloaders, this all changes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpbtejada:
Gurus, need your help.

My rooted i9100 is currently stuck at the boot logo.

I can boot into recovery though.

Last changes I made where the following :

1. Installed SP Speed Increase and set to 2048. Managed to do a reboot using the new setting and everything was ok, so I doubt if this has any impact.

2. I made a minor change to build.prop. Changed wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=15 to wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180.

3. Installed FasterFix and set it to Asia.

Tried removing the battery several times already and wiped dalvik cache but to no avail.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpbtejada:
Problem solved. Just flashed stock firmware via Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Editing 'Build.prop' is not recomended, unless u know what ur trying to do with it and the implcation of the same after.

since u can boot into recovery, try installing a recent backup if u have any, and see.

else u have to reflash the rom again:)

It would be nice to just be able to carry my phone in my bag, so that when my tablet is within range of WiFi it uses that, but cal use my phone's 3G connection if wifi isn't available.

What's the best way to achieve this? A wireless hotspot from the phone? Or Bluetooth?

Wifi tether is best way to go. I would suggest foxfi because you can have a wifi password if necessary. Also a free app from the play

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p4trykx:
Do you get a blue kindle fire logo?

When you flash with stock rom it wipes out FFF bootloader and replaces it with one from amazon.

After system boot you should be able to run this command

adb devices

adb is somewhere in kfu directory

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Your problem, besides not having a clue what you're doing, is you didn't wipe the necessary partitions before trying to install a new ROM. Most of the time, that results in sort of a Frankenstein of an OS that the system cannot boot normally.

Typically, with FFF installed, you can tell pretty easily what mode your device is in by looking looking at your screen. If the device hangs at the boot screen, you know it is in fastboot, or if it continues on to the boot animation, you know it's in normal mode. With the stock Kindle Fire software installed, both the bootloader's splash screen and the boot animation are the same (with the exception of brightness), so you have to use the adb to determine what state the device is in. In your case, the device is in normal boot mode, so the typical "fix" for "stuck at kindle fire logo" wouldn't apply to you.

Unfortunately, by reinstalling the Kindle Fire update.zip, you also overwrite not only the custom bootloader, but custom recovery as well, which is required to fix your problem. Reverting back to stock, simply to re-root or install a different ROM is unnecessary and a complete waste of time. Now you have to get back into fastboot mode so you can reinstall custom recovery, wipe the necessary partitions and reinstall a ROM.

If any of this sounds foreign to you, it's because you're in WAY over your head. Before you go any further, educate yourself in how and why the Kindle Fire/Android works. Doing so will greatly increase your chances of success and decrease the chances of finding yourself in another situation like this one.

1. I just managed to get ICS onto my phone, and I was wondering if there is any benefit if I were to jump over to JB?1b. Is ICS or JB more stable?

2. What are the functional differences between ICS and JB as far as looks, and functionality?

3. Why won't Titanium Backup Pro restore my backups? I have a full lisence, but when I press the "menu" button, I don't see a option to execute a batch job so I can restore my backups.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
I find JB excellent. It is pretty similar to ICS, but features a different notification drawer and project butter, which gives us more speed and smoothness.

Give it a try and in case you don't like it, you can always go back to stock.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Titanium runs a bit different under ICS and JB.

Top right corner will be a check mark. Use that to enter Batch mode and also to start back ups and restores.

Becareful restoring your apps, they were downloaded for either Froyo or GB and may not run under ICS or JB.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
THANKS! I wish I would have known this earlier, it took me 10 hours yesterday to restore all of my applications manually yesterday.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
I sort of did "try" JB for a little bit, but it deleted my IMEI, and I had to flash back to stock to get my EFS directory back. I've been able to re-upgrade to ICS without an issue, but I'm worried that if I upgrade to JB once again, I'm going to lose the IMEI once again, and have to go back to GB so I can upgrade to ICS once again. I have backed up the contents of the EFS directory to my computer, but I am not quite sure how to restore the EFS should it become erased again. Any pointers?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
I upgraded to JB, and everything is working fine (CM10). I noticed that I am down to 10% after unplugging at 0800, and plugging back in at 1800. Is there anything I can do to extend my battery life beyond 10 hours of run time? Would a different radio help? CM10 seems pretty decent "stock", except for ridiculously short up times. Is there a way to get as good as signal, but have longer run times?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thushianthan:
I have tried JB 4.1.1 CM10 and returned to stock because

A-GPS is not working

HDMI is not working

It's seems battery drains out quickly

Occasionally phone reboots automatically.

If those is not big issue, you can use JB. GUI is awesome.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
it shouldn't be that bad, but you can try a different modem, some people are having a lot of cell of call related drain and are switching to older modems. check your battery in settings and see what the major source of drain is. that might give some clues. the batery meter might just need some time to calibrate as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Also, check to see how often your accounts sync and check for e-mail, less often will save on battery. Use a Brightness Widget to easily adjust your brightness thru-out the day.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
Apperantly it was a one-offer, and CM10 didn't have the battery calibrated yet, (at least that's my best guess). I unplugged it at 0759 this morning, and the time is now 1803. I still have 61% of my battery left. I guess it had to find out how much power it really uses to give an accurate reading of battery level? If it keeps up like today, I'm glad that I switched over to JB. When I was on GB, I was down to 15% at 1700 using my phone how I normally use it. I changed no behaviors with usage, so now I'm wondering how the hell do I have so much battery left? (not that I'm complaining).

Yeah, the battery life on JellyBean seems to be phenomenal, so long as your settings are right. I love it!
