[Asus Transformer TF700] scott.m:
Noticed 2x today I walked away for an hour and came back to a bright screen. Both times I had just plugged it in and left it on the desk. I turned the sleep timer down to 15s and experimented a bit but couldn't replicate it...

I also noticed when it auto sleeps, there is no screen lock sound. Though I do hear it when I click the power button. The option is turned on in settings, and I remember my 300's all made the lock sound 5 seconds after the screen turned off. Maybe the 700s don't do it? Or maybe there's a problem with the hardware or not really sleeping?

Does yours make the lock sound when it locks after an automatic sleep?
[Asus Transformer TF700] scott.m:
Please can someone just turn up their volume and let their tf700 stock ROM go to sleep with the lock sound enabled? Tell me if you hear the lock sound when it AUTOMATICALLY goes to sleep? (Without clicking the power button)

I only have a couple days to exchange and need to know if this is normal for the 700

Again, the lock sound only plays when I click the power button, Not when it auto sleeps and locks. The tf300 always played the audio.
[General Questions and Answers] jontomes:
i can find nothing on this

if i backup to external sd - 32gb kingston - the restore consistently fails at check sum - backups from internal work

any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] ryu_hayabusa:
please mention what tool you used to backup ...
[General Questions and Answers] jontomes:
oh yeah sorry - cwm v 6 from recovery
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Three options;-

1) Use 4EXT Recovery as it has the option to disable the MD5 check (only use this if you are certain the backup is good)

2) Backup to internal and move that backup to external then try to restore it

3) Backup to external, then pull the MD5 file out, run a checksum count yourself and place that file into the backup
[General Questions and Answers] jontomes:
thanks simon - the darkest corners of your mind are surprisingly enlightening - i will explore these options
[General Questions and Answers] jontomes:
ok, here's how far i got

1) i didn't want to risk running stuff without check sum

2) tried to move the backup using windows and copying the backup file over but cwm couldn't see the folder

3) ran a checksum without pulling anything out and the checksum failed so i gave up on that option

will report further when i do a bit more on this
[General Questions and Answers] jontomes:
after struggling with these options with no success, i did what i should have done first and formatted the card from within the phone

this seems to have fixed but thanks for the input anyway
[General Questions and Answers] jontomes:
ok it's not working again for some reason

option 1) doesn't make much sense to me i'm afraid, as i will have to restore to test, to make sure the backup is good, then it will already have worked so no need to test - am i missing something here?

option 2) i restored to the internal, ran the restore successfully, copied it to the external, it failed

option 3) i'm struggling with this trying to generate an md sum using terminal emulator - it fails every time

If something is listed as iPhone 5, then I would expect photos to show 5 rows. Shame on me maybe if the market app photos show 5, but the couple places I saw mention this launcher all show the stock 4 icon, so you can take your "some people" and kindly return it to where it came. Longest run on sentence I've written in a while, shesh.

Maybe, maybe, maybe......... I think of stuff like this all the time, the funny thing is I don’t have the time or patients to follow through on it, kudos to the Dev for that….. its kinda like putting the skin of a Bently on a fiat, just to find out you are not comfortable and can't corner at a 140 KM an Hour….,, but you can make a run to the market in style.

Keep it going, perhaps a hybrid may work better, I mean Apple steal stuff all the time.

As someone who has themed his Windows and X-Windows in many different themes (including MacOS), I don't mind seeing themes like this.

However, I'm going to pass on this based on the permissions (which, thankfully, he's open about):

This app uses several external libraries, including Google Analytics, ACRA, LeadBolt and other ad networks. Some of these libraries require additional permissions.

* SET_WALLPAPER and SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS are necessary to set & retrieve the home screen wallpaper

* INTERNET_ACCESS, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE are required for Google Analytics, ACRA and advertising networks.

* READ_PHONE_STATE, WAKE_LOCK and RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED are required for advertising networks (currently interstitials, and push notifications may be enabled in future)

* WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is required to cache error reports before transmission, and for rich media ads
[Android Apps and Games] lilhaiti:
All you guys knocking this app because it looks like an iPhone...you are missing the point. Hence the name "Fake iPhone 5 Launcher"...it is meant to poke fun at the iPhone...I think it is absolutely and utterly sweet that we can make are phones look like any phone on the market.

This app is also great for iPhone converts...they can have an Android phone but still work in the comfortable confines of the iOS launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] lyndonguti:

Damn they are all the same!! Dafacq
[Android Apps and Games] WoodroweBones:
I dont think anyone is knocking it because it looks like an iPhone (maybe a couple)... the fact is it runs very poorly. The lone apple user in the thread would like to think that its because the launcher is too demanding of the hardware (his stupid Bentley/Fiat comparison) when in reality its just not written well.

Neat idea I agree but in practice its not really usable on a daily basis IMO

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
As this topic already on debate, whether removing bloatware improves performance(by making RAM free) OR does it improves battery ?

Here look to screenshot

So looking to this, i can say it doesn't affect at all.

As i have pure stock ROM with Stock kernel (Cf Root), and after 11 hr of use and 28% of total battery drain, there is not even recordable battery use noted. So seems if it remains there or does it remove there is no difference on battery

Regarding RAM, as we know there is LMK (Low memory killing) mechanism of android system, android itself keeping recently opened application in background to get quicker access to them, if we remove bloatware then it will be replaced by another applications which we have used recently till android system feels RAM is full.

So in short removing bloatware have cosmetic effect and keeps your device clean from appearing in drawer but not positive effect on RAM/battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Yin-Yang:
Doctor. Cant we have thread on various myth busters. Like for build.props, kernel cleaning script,etc. shared on xda.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CSharpHeaven:
I disagree on some points you made as facts.

I have been removing bloatwares including system apps, mainly from the manufacturer, for as long as I have learned how to root my phones. I learned how to do it in the hard way and from time to time I soft bricked my phone which I recover by re-flashing the Stock Rom again. By no means I'm encouraging anyone to opitimise their phones by start removing apps. However, in my experience I have had increased my RAM size by comparing how much free RAM was available before and after each optimisation right after a bootup. Also in my experience my phone is much smoother after I'm done with my optimisation process. Battery life also depends on what kind of apps are removed so it can have a little to noticeable improvement too.

Here are some technical explanations. Any apps that start up after boot completion event is triggered would decrease the RAM and they would most likely stay resident in the memory to do some kind of background process, example of such app is Google Play. Another example would be the screenshot service which must be running all the time for the time user gestures for a screenshot.

There are also apps that are launched when an event happens and not necessary the user intend to use them all. This would slow down the phone if few apps were registered for the same events, I have seen cases where apps wrongly registered with events that they don't depend on. Example; Media related commands such Volume UP/Down or headphone plug in/out. I have removed both Google's Music App and Samsung's so there are two apps less respond and RAM is consumed less when I launch my favourite Music app. Obviously the background launch of apps have some impact on the battery too and it would be obvious when the device constantly is being used, not occasionally.

I have already increased the availability of RAM right after bootup by over 50MB on my Note and close to 100MB on Motorola Atrix. Atrix runs on GB and without the optimisation it is very lagy to the point I cannot use it. On GNote the difference is way lower but still noticeable after the optimisation.

Basically, to say there is absolutely no changes in battery and performance is wrong because there are many other factors need to be considered. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
I agree with this. If I were to run a bloated stock Rom, I could produce several vastly different usage scenarios that would respectively

- not have negative impact on the battery

- have higher impact compared with the same usage on a debloated custom Rom, and

- have severe impact compared with etc.

In other words, if you tread very cautiously and are careful not burden your bloat too much it will be just as fine as any custom Rom. But if you are going to lean heavily on your bloat with WiFi, syncing, location on and at the same time playing online games, I'll bet you anything that it would drain battery much faster than a debloated custom Rom on the same scenario.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
@CSharpHeaven

If you get my point, you can understand, removing bloatware freeup memory on booting surely, but as soon as you start playing with device, last used appl will be filled to background till RAM gets full. So effect is some what temporary. other thing if appli remain in backgroung it takes less time to re open(thats why android keep it in BG), and this way it increase performance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Yes, but at least I'll have stuff I actually need running in the background, and not Yahoo Finance, Samsung Account and similar.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
Though it may just be some placebo effect but removing bloatwares on your phone (samsung accounts, kies apps) does have some effect on the battery and on the overall performance of the phone.

Bloatwares that you don't necessarily need gives the RAM back to your phone and not only that.. it makes your AppDrawer clean for all the necessary apps that you really really need to be on your phone.

I prefer apps that I particularly need to use and not apps that just stays there but does not have any use at all (on my day to day needs).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
But how long it remains there? it will just disappear when you start playing with device isn't?

Basically my aim is to explain - Removing bloatware doesn't make that difference if you are expecting so much, you might be aware of that many user just root their device to get rid of bloat for hoping their device will shootup like bullet and battery will last for days and days :)

thats not real.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
I can't quantify the exact number of users running rooted stock compared to those who rooted to be able to flash custom Roms.

However, if the poll in 'What Rom are you using' thread is anything to go by, there's much more users on custom Roms than

on rooted Stock - check it.

Besides, compelling reasons for rooting your phone are not just bloat removal, but also

- ability to do backups/restores

- ability to flash other Roms

- ability to theme your Roms

- ability to customize Roms in many other ways

- ability to flash kernels that are faster and optimized to be more battery friendly, not to mention SAFER

And finally, to get back to the topic, to get rid of Samsung/carrier crapware and make your phone more responsive and battery efficient.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rraaka:
i became aware of removing apps ( the first target is what we define as bloatware) to free up space in system, so as I could install other apps which i wanted, sometimes for successful rooting purposes, newer mods etc

i never looked towards improvement in battery and performance, did not notice anything in normal usage...

the OP is very convincing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeetu1981:
I have removed some 200+ MBs of apps from system including software update, Sam apps etc and there is hardly any increase in free ram, so I dont think removing so called bloatware increases ram.

But yes removing apps like soft update and sam apps which run consistantly in background helps to some extent in battery point of view.

I agree free ram will be occupied by other apps but lot of apps dont run in backgroung they just cache the ram and doesnt impact anything. For example once i saw s pen in cached process using 80 MB of ram but it was not actually running. I dont think such apps use battery or processor in background.

Its still a topic of debate and I think will remain same ;)

Just my 2 cents :D

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
I'm not sure about not affecting memory... To be correct on this, need to look on all bloatware cached processes - sometimes there are too much. But, what concerns me more - is the process priority. I'm not sure, but those of /system, both apps & services, seems to get the higher priority, than /data apps. And in case of stock Sammy rom, it's obvious, that their crap will stay in memory forever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
@chasmodo

I think I cudn't explain you properly. I am not saying ppl rooting for removing bloatware only

I want to say my msg to those ' who are rooting only for removing bloatware'

Though these ppl are very few, but I just want to convinced only removing bloatware can't help you much.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CSharpHeaven:
@dr.ketan

In Android world applications register with events to be notified with both user and system actions such as GPS, Media Storage, Bluetooth, Wifi, App modifications (install & uninstall) , and so many other events. Also there are many apps that stay awake for some kind of background processing.

You are right to assume Android would kill any apps that is not being used and eventually reclaim the resources. What you have to bear in mind this cleaning process itself also consumes battery and CPU cycles. The smaller the list is, the shorter the CPU cycle would be. Furthermore, installing apps that hardly being used keep Android GC (Garbage Collection) busy because many of these apps coming alive (launching) when one of the events they registered with is fired.

After the first year with Android I learned to install only apps that I have daily use or use them very regularly. This is beyond me why people install over 100 apps on their phones.

By the way, launching apps in background for faster launch is fundamentally against app design for portable devices where resources such as battery is limited. In Android dalvik-cache takes care of lanching apps "quicker".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kudoboi:
it hasnt happened to my gnex yet but it happened before to my htc desire HD where it was rooted and the battery broke. that phone did not have warranty though but since my gnex does, im just wondering what will happen if my phone battery spoils and it so happens its running a custom firmware? will it void the warranty or what
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
it has nothing to do with your phones os or if its rooted or not, just get a new battery if your battery is spoiled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
If need be for any warranty work, you can always flash everything back to pure stock. But the battery will likely be fine and batteries are not expensive, as simms22 mentioned.

I don't know if it's just me, but I have a problem with the sliders. I can't drag the slider all the way to the right. And when the volume changes the pop up screen can be a little annoying, it would be great if you have the option to make the alert as a notification instead of just popping it up & one last thing when you "allow" the volume change the service disappears in the ongoing notifications area and I have to re-launch the application. Anyway good job. I hope this helps you to improve this application. :D

Hi, Im new here. Im from Malaysia.

I bought S3 last 3 week ago.

The 2nd day i found my S3 screen got problem(only when at night or dark place).

The 3rd day i go change the new one. And it got the same problem.

My question is, Should i change again new phone or let it go?

Is anyone here got this problem too? When watching Movies or Black color picture at Night/Dark place, u can saw the black splash dot. Annoying.

ps, sorry for my bad english. hope you guys understand what i asking. : )

It happens on my device too. It's an issue with amoled screens. Quite common for all amoled devices.

Doesn't affect screen quality that much and 90% of the time you can't even notice it so don't worry too much :)
