I have written a lengthy guide (i use that loosely) called Don't Panic for people to read before attempting to unlock, root, or flash their phone. I meant for it to be in general but in my confusion it was mistakenly posted in Q&A. Please take the time to read it before, during, or after any of these procedures, its a lot to read but it is very valuable information
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] STIDRIVER:
Thanks! I'm sure it will be very helpfull..

Wish HTC would take a note out of your book with the updates.

With so many different versions of hboot and S-ON/s-off, it needs clarification. Previous phones used to be more localized and generalized as well. This one is spread out and easy to mess up.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lord_pmvk:
Hi Everyone,

I need help in finding out where can I get the extended battery for my Galaxy Note in India, which should fit in the mobile without changing the original back cover. More over I need to find this battery specifically in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India.

I have gone through the other threads regarding batteries for Galaxy Note, and many have posted the links of Amazon and eBay etc etc showing how many different varieties of Extended batteries we have for Galaxy Note. But I need a battery that is more than 2500 mAp, and should fit with the same back cover given with Note without making it bulky, as the mobile is large sized already :D

Please do post link where I can buy such battery.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Yin-Yang:
Have not found a single battery fitting your requirement. Any extended battery will require a change in cover. However, if you find it pls. tell me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lord_pmvk:
Ohh, so there is no battery of that sought!!

Anyway if at all i find it, i will sure post it here. But can you please suggest me some good extended battery according to your opinion. I will try if i can find it for me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Moon2:
Anker 2700mah.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spfraggle:
Moon is correct. The only one you'll find with a higher mah rating of stock size that is reliable is the 2700mah battery from Anker. All others require a change in back cover. I have the Mugen 5400mah battery and yes there is a lot more bulk, for the extra juice it's well worth it. At the end of the day you have to make a choice. What's more important, device size or battery capacity?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xda rocks:
Any Idea where to get the Mugen 5400 mah battery in India? I have seen in ebay too but could not able to find Mugen product.??:crying::crying:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lord_pmvk:
Ofcourse the battery life is more important to me rather than size. But for a second, to think that i have to carry this Galaxy Note whcih is already BIG, and if that becomes bulky too, then i really have to buy trousers with huge pockets. Anyway, if at all i really get the mugen 5400mAp battery, i will surely buy it. But we dont get mugen in India :(

In a word no. The galaxy note battery is too big to fit in the s2 otherwise you'd have companies selling universal batteries that would fit in multiple devices.

[Acer Iconia A500] draight:
I have an Acer 500a I just bought off carigslist. Initially I thought it would be fine but then I realized I was inheriting someone elses problems. I hope someone may be able to help.

Within the first few hours I was noticing google Play crashed a number of times and struggled to update from Market. Somehow the update went through but now there is a system update that won't go through. I'm able to down load it and when i restart the computer to complete installation the screen goes black and says: booting recovery kernel in the corner. I then see a picture of an android and a load bar which after 2-4 seconds the android is on his back and an exclaimation mark is coming out of his belly.

My android version is 3.2

Kernel version

2.6.36.3+

Build number

Acer_a500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2

I'm pretty sure its rooted and i think that might be why its not playing nice with google market and system updates. I called the old owner and explained the problem and he just said he had it rooted and he thought he unrooted it. There is an ap called superuser in aps. (although if it were rooted would'nt I be able to uninstal some of thecrap software it comes with like GOLF HD? -- it won't let me).

The system update is for Acer_a500_7.014.01_COM_GEN2 8.88mb

My problem is all of the force closes I'm getting and the inability to update the system. Any thoughts? I don't have a usb cord to connect it to a desktop either =(
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
I am a bit out of practice, but...

Should be pretty simple to fix. From what I am seeing, you are running a stock rom. Just because the superuser.apk is installed on the system does not mean it is rooted, but it probably is.

Hit the market, grab "Root Checker" - simple tiny program to let you know for sure if your tab is rooted or not.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.rootchecker&hl=en

From what I understand - automatic system updates will fail when trying to apply them to a rooted or modded system. Probably why you cannot auto-update.

My advice at this point would be to:

1) Since you just bought it, just do a factory wipe on it. That will remove all the stuff the prior owner had running on it and will result in a unrooted tab that should be able to get auto updates without a problem.

2) Un-Root it. Once the tablet is unrooted, the system should update without any issue.

As for your Play Store issues - I have never heard of or personally seen any issues caused with installing apps from the store on a rooted device. I have seen a few apps that will refuse to run on a rooted device - but that does not sound like your problem.

I would go with option 1 - just factory wipe the thing. Prior owner may have made tons of changes to the OS that we will never know about, and may have handed you a unstable system. Start fresh. Wipe it out.

Hope this helps you out! Let me know if I can answer any questions.
[Acer Iconia A500] draight:
k thank you so much for the quick reply! I downloaded the root checker and it Is rooted. I did a factory wipe as found in the settings privacy tab when I bought it. That factory reset did not unroot and only cleaned out some of the aps on the device. Is there a better or more surefire way to unroot it? If I reset with the volume down key will it hard reset it?

Thank you for you help!

Draight
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Okay.

I am about a year out of practice with my a500 - but from what I am think, if a factory reset still results in a rooted device - the prior user installed a stock ROM that comes pre-rooted.

I highly doubt being rooted is causing the issues you are running into.

At this point if you just want to get back to stock you can probably just install the Acer Recovery Manager from the market and use it to reflash a stock unrooted ROM. Or I see a few guides about how to manually restore back to stock over in the dev section for the a500.

Others will correct me if I am wrong, but I think Acer Recovery Manager should take care of your problem.

Hope this helps!

(Edit: Or you can just download the official stock 4.x rom (ICS) from the dev section and flash that. 3.2 is pretty slow and wonky in my experience, you should be able to just download a 4.x ROM and flash, since you are rooted. Again, I am way out of practice. Don't do anything before reading up!)

(Edit again: I think I was making this harder then needs be. Just flash any stock 3.2 unrooted ROM, done. After you do that the automatic on the air update should kick in for you and update you to ICS)
[Acer Iconia A500] draight:
Thanks for taking the time to work with me on this. I downloaded the program you suggested and tried to use a stock rom. When i went to reboot I had a picture of an android looking up at an exclaimation mark. It was froze like that until I restarted it. Now its back to the way it was, rooted and unupdatable.

I'm probably going to try to just wipe it all over but do i need to plug it into my computer somehow? I dont have a usb connector for the tablet, just the wall charger plugin. can i just download a rom and use the utility to try install it? when I reboot it am I supposed to be pressing the volume button?

I've read a few other forums but usually they sound pretty intense...
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Hmmm..

Try the thread I linked two in my second edit of my last post. You just need to grab the stock and unrooted 3.2 - put it on a MicroSD card as update.zip - then reboot with vol rocker and power switch to get the system to flash the update.

That *should* work just fine.

(Edit: Forgot the link! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839313 - there you go)
[Acer Iconia A500] draight:
Thankw, I am going to try it after readingna bit more. Do I need to have clockworkmod installed for all of this?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Nope. Just snag the stock unrooted 3.2 ROM - place it in the root of the MicroSD card as update.zip

Power down.

Power up with VOL + and POWER key held at the same time (you can let the vol rocker go when you see text appear in the upper left corner)

Should be all you need to do. Worst case; it does not work and returns you back to where you are now. Worth a shot.

If that does not work, let me know so I can do a few mins of homework and help you further. Been a long time since I have changed ROMS or had any issues with my a500.

I have bricked it twice by not following directions all the way or just making simple mistakes, but from what I have found there is always a way to recover. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] draight:
Just tried it. I copied the boot zip to sd card and renamed update.zip and reset..It looked like it was going to download after showing some text in the corner and then an exclamation mark appeared above the androids head... I left it and after a few.min it rebooted back
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Hmmm. Odd.

Like I said, I am rather out of practice.

Someone more experienced them me: please help me point Draight in the right direction here?
[Acer Iconia A500] draight:
Thanks for trying to help. =(

I wish that my tablet wasn't having such issues. I;m going to try to scramble around the forums and see if I can find some advice...If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

Thanks again entropy,

Draight
[Acer Iconia A500] draight:
Update:

So I've been tinkering around with it a bit more and I found a usb cord that plugs it into my computer. I keep finding boken links on this site so Im struggling to find an update I can use to flash to. I downloaded a different super user program which allowed me to temporarily unroot my device. I then restarted it and no root checker says its no rooted and I cannot find the superuser program. I think I have somewhat unrooted it -- but I think the real issue now is the recovery tool. I keep reseting it - hard reset, or factory reset and it wipes everything away but when i try to update it gets about 1/3 of the way up the bar then it stops with an '!' Mark above the droid. Im kind of annoyed at this point and hoping for some new links or some ideas on how to repair the recovery piece.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Go to the Dev section, and grad a couple of the ICS Update roms. You will see them listed for the a500. Make sure they are the FULL update roms. Should be about 3-400mb. These contain a FULL ICS Update Rom, and not a patch file.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1816560

Then, go to the Themes and apps forum. You'll see a sticky that has the Acer Update Decrypter.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1869505

Now, unpack the decrypter, and select one of the ICS Updates. Then hit Start. Take a couple minutes, but you will have a duplicate file with the word "decrypted" added to it.

Wait, you are not done yet.

Using a program like 7zip, or even Winzip, open the decrypted file. DO NOT EXTRACT, just open it and pull the update.zip to your PC's desktop.

Copy that update.zip file to your Ext SD Card of the tablet. Don't be putting it in any folder, just copy it to the root of the card.

Now, you still ain't done.

With the tablet off. Press and hold Vol+ and then PWR. Hold them both untill you start to see text about installing blah blah blah, then release the buttons.

If it completes, and you can reboot into ICS, then you are good to go.

If something fails during installation, then decrypt the other update Rom file you downloaded, and do the same procedure. Usually one of the 2 or three should work for you.

Note these are for the a500, and not the a501.

One more thing. It's advisable you get your UID number before doing these things. You probably won't need it, but it's nice to have written down in case you need it in the future. Inf to get it is at;

Hey All :)

After updating my HTC Desire S to ICS with sense 3.6 via RUU, i found that the web browser is very slow, laggy, fuzzy and sluggish compared to Gingerbread's web browser specially in flash and pictures content, i had experienced that before when i used Fallout Evolution ROM, but i thought the problem was with the ROM itself so i downgraded to the Gingerbread till the official update come, but seems the problem with the ICS it self on the Desire S

i found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1851710 and i disabled the opengl to behave like a Gingerbread's web browser and yes it's a bit better but still Gingerbread is way better and smooth

so the web browser is very important to me in the mobile, so do i have to downgrade to Gingerbread again in order to have the best web browsing experience, or is there a solution for that?

thanks all in advance
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
Use 3rd party web browser like Opera Mobile, it should be better then the built-in one
[HTC Desire S] Anti_virus_abdo:
yes i already tried, the same

[HTC Desire S] finistere:
You did try Chrome, didn't you?
[HTC Desire S] poled:
Chrome behaves exactly the same as the stock browser, the "problem" is the opengl acceleration. Same with dolphin, only opera runs ok for me
[HTC Desire S] Anti_virus_abdo:
Exactly (Y) they all are the same, so the only solution is downgrading?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iSchadenfreude:
Hello first I would like to thank you for taking the time to view my thread, it means a lot to me. I appreciate the community. I will cut to the chase.

I am thinking about adding a new line to my plan for my little sister. She is currently on MetroPCS and we figured I could save more by adding a plan to my line (about 15 bucks)

What made this so enticing is that I could possibly upgrade my phone and give her my current phone. I currently have a t-mobile hercules galaxy s2 and I love it. I have owned it for 8 months and its just been so great. Never had an issue and then flashed a rom that made it perfect.

I don't know what to do... should I upgrade and get the Samsung Galaxy s3 and give my younger sister my S2?? She is 15 and I was planning on giving her the Blaze 4G but the development for that phone is rubbish.

She has saved 150 for her new phone so I would just have to pay the rest.

What would you do?

Edit: Can I somehow transfer my text messages from my s2 to my s3 with titanium backup???????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Get the s3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Ditch the s2 mate. The s3 is better in every way possible. Actually the one thing I think the t989 wins in is aesthetics. The s3 is a bad ass phone but I don't like the way it looks. To me it looks like a miniature Samsung TV.. and I think Samsung TVs are ugly. Just my 2 cents lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
If you can get an s3 for (effectively) $40, go for it. While I'm happy with my s2, I wanted the s3. I just couldn't justify the extra $120 over the s2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mongo41:
Let me start off by saying the s3 is a great phone Ive had 3 of them but if you look at them wrong you will break the glass. Im very careful with my phones but somehow i managed to break 2 of the screens in 2 weeks. Do a search on it, it seems to be a real common thing. Also development is a little slow for it, seems like the tmobile version is like the red headed step child of the variants. I ended up selling the 3rd one I got and came back to the s2 with no regrets.

S3 looks terrible and is fragile. Though it does have advantages I still like my s2 better

How do you figure the T-Mobile version is like the red headed stepchild out of the variants? It's the only one who's had a JB leak thus development is picking up rapidly.
