[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Teleblaster:
Last night, I read the posts re: the auto-update and the potential havoc it can wreak on my phone. As a Noob (I did my first root, this weekend), I'm concerned and would appreciate any help understanding the jargon and my situation.

I just got a SCH-I535 and despite "having no business" rooting it, curiosity got the better of me and I followed eMpTy43's [GUIDE] For beginners - Root Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-i535/d2vzw. Per those instructions, I rooted using "Root Debug FS", unlocked using "EZ-Unlock", I installed "ROM Manager" and flashed "Clockwork Mod Recovery". On that last step, I had some problems due to the formatting of my external SD card. I think I successfully created a Nandroid backup to both my internal SD and, finally, to my external SD. Subsequently, I purchased Titanium Backup Pro. I ran "Batch Backup/Restore All" to my external SD.

If I understand correctly, I now have a "rooted", "unlocked", "stock ROM" SCH-I535 with a "custom recovery". Is that right?

My device reads that it is running baseband version VRLG1 and kernel version 3.0.8. From reading the posts on the auto-update, it seems my phone should need to auto-update. Is that correct?

Late last night, if I understood correctly, it seemed community members suggested several possible steps:

Some people suggested that I could prevent the auto-update from running my using Titanium Backup to freeze SDM 1.0. Is that correct? After I return from work and get the kids to bed tonight, I intend to look up what SDM 1.0 does. But, if anyone wants to help here, it'd be appreciated.

Someone posted a suggestion to install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, which I did. Does that, in effect, do the same thing as freezing SDM 1.0? Is there a problem in doing both?

I also read that having a "custom recovery" makes the entire issue moot. If that's correct, why would that be?

If I dodged the bullet, it's my understanding that I should either (1) sit tight and wait for the community to develop guidance for n00bs or (2) re-lock and un-root the phone since I have no business doing this in the first place.

Am I understanding all this correctly? Am I missing anything? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
Yes you are correct you have a rooted, unlocked(bootloader), stock ROM, and a custom recovery. (clockwork mod recovery that you flashed through ROM Mamager)

Because you have the Clockwork recovery installed the update won't actually install. It may still download and annoy you though. The reason it won't install is because over the air updates(OTAs) rely on the stock Android recovery for installation. By flashing Clockwork recovery you have replaced the stock recovery and that causes the update installation to fail.

I don't know what SDM 1.0 is exactly. I do know that freezing it with Titanium Backup will stop the update from downloading and annoying you and doesn't seem to cause any other issues.

All in all with the custom recovery you will be safe from the OTA. However, I would freeze SDM 1.0 for good measure to stop your phone from trying to automatically download the update. (even though with custom recovery it will never install)

I highly suggest you go through and read read read all the sections in Verizon Galaxy S3 (especially stickies) and anytime you come across a term you don't understand Google it. Just keep reading and reading and Googling. That's the best way you can learn more about all this. Until you understand it all a bit better I wouldn't do more than what you already have. (i .e. Flashing ROMS and kernels etc...)

Thanks for the substantial reply. I'm resting a lot easier at work, now. It would have been a real pain to have a brick 2 days after my first root.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merlot:
Hello,

I'm experiencing a battery drain in a Dapeng A7. Sometimes the battery charge decreases even though it's plugged to the charger.

I can see that when it happens the wifi don't switch off, even though I have set it in the settings, and it fact some times it does.

I have get some logcat but the only thing I noticed was just several ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED, but without timestamp.

I would need some extra information, combining top, with logcat, and some more command you will suggest for sure.

I have rooted the phone, so any command will be available.

Any suggestion? Meanwhile I'm testing some battery savers.

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realmprotector:
Some more information would be useful are you using a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or stock recovery are you using the stock ROM or something like Cyanogenmod it could be hardware causing the issue like dying/dead charger or dying/dead battery or it could be software with Clockworkmod you can clear battery stats have you tried turning off everything from Wi-Fi (Already mentioned), 3G Mobile Data, Bluetooth, Network Location, GPS etc to see if it had any affect on the battery maybe you could try searching an App to do these things if Android is bugged as a temporary solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merlot:
Thank you for the answer.

I have just rooted the device with its stock ROM, but I havent found any reference about installing Cyanogenmod or Clockworkmod.

Anyway, I have experienced this leakage after a factory reset, disabling wifi and 3G, ... I have tried to locate which app can be battery consuming, but without success. Well, one of them, I don't remember, always says that it was Google Calendar sync. Can be gapps?

Moreover, now I have been reading a French forum and I'm not alone ;)

http://ciphone.fr/blog/blog1.php/dapeng-a7-5-en-test

However no one has a clear answer. Perhaps is the charger problem, but I have tested with diferent cables and chargers.

And the worst thing that sometime charging works fine.

Do you happen to know if there is any command like logcat but with a timestamp in each line?

Thank you

Had one this morning and accidentally hit accept. I was half asleep and went through its process, about 10 minutes, actually seemed like 5 and rebooted. Says 4.0.4 and I swear it said 4.0.1 before.

Only had this phone less than 2 weeks. Not sure what the update really did. Cant notice a difference.....which is good, because I was loving the experience thus far.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlee10:
my phone is stuck on the vibrant screen. currently using slimbean. i was restoring my files using titanium backup. i finished the backup. i reinstaled chainfire 3d. then as i was installing, it rebooted. then it got stuck on vibrant screen. i tried recovery. it is still working. however. i tried to restore it. first there is an error. then retry. it worked. however the time i backed it up was qhen i was still on froyo. is there a solution? or just odin back to stock? or i am in big trouble? havent tried download mode as i am not at home. what to do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Wait, so you tried to restore a Froyo nandroid when on an ICS ROM? That is a no-no. If that is a case, I am sorry but a trip through Odin is in your future.

If you have not done that, then try to boot into recovery and either do 1 of 2 things. Wipe /cache and /dalvik and see if that works out for you (remember boot will take longer after doing that, 2-5mins). Or you can try to reflash the Slim Bean over itself and see if it will reboot.

But in all likelihood, you'll probably have to flash back to stock and come back through the normal pathway.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlee10:
im all good bro. odined back to stock. then froyo, then exrom, then slim bean. im all good now bro. and i have set my nandroid to the latest. on slimbean. :) thank you for your help sir.

however, there is an error with regards to internal storage. i have transferred my pictures and music files back to my internal storage. however. it seems the device cannot read the files. especially pictures and mp3 files. nothings appears on the stock gallery of slimbean. so, i used quickpic instead. and the pictures are there. however, the mp3 are still gone. tried an mp3 player app. its still not there. mp3 are nowhere to be found on the list. but the files are on my internal storage. i have used the search button. i have found several threads in regards to this. but there is not definite solution for this as of the moment. there are suggestions. but it doesnt necessarily means that it will work on other devices.

There was an issue with ROM manager and the .nomedia file screwing up media scan. Uninstall ROM manager and delete the .nomedia file from phone (anywhere you see it). Then go to settings>manage apps>all apps>media storage and delete data. Reboot your phone and allow 5-10 min for full scan. Your pics etc should be there etc.

Is there any way at all to view the actual signal strength rather than the signal bars? I have had phones in the past where you could view the actual RSSI in dbm. But Ive yet to see this on a Windows Phone 7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There are some device-specific apps that do it, usually called "Diagnostics" or similar, and usually hidden. I don't believe there's any managed API for it. There might be a native API that doesn't require root, but it might either require root or require a driver, in which case you'd have to write an ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES app to call that driver yourself (and need an interop-unlocked phone in order to use it).

I have been skimming through the Android development and original android development forums in search of a TW-based ROM that is extremely lite, with everything but the bare necessities removed, but haven't been able to find one. I might have accidentally gone by it, but I cannot find any.

Do you know if such exists? I am not willing to go with AOSP just yet.

With extremely lite, I'm talking at the most 250mb ROM size, instead of TW's 1300mb.

I use it but I don't have TouchWiz on it, if I remember correctly though, that is because I removed it manually. I do believe it comes with TouchWiz as default. And all Samsung apps, no AOSP.

You can also remove even more stuff from it if you find it contains things you don't want. It weighs in at 226MB.
