[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmdelgado:
Hey everyone I want to get some opinions on whether or not their battery life was extended shortened after flashing Blazer ROM cause my phone seems to dropping a percent ever 15 mins or so.

Thanks, DMD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bdozier:
Search the rom's thread. There is plenty of discussion there about battery drain.

Rogue apps? Calibrated your battery after flash? Facebook and other sync heavy apps love the battery. Live wall paper? I am assuming you are familiar with these questions so I won't go on.

Your phone keeps a log of battery stats. After you flash, calibrate. There are free apps in the play store. I use battery calibration by nema. Found this tip just yesterday after I was going through the rom's forum when I saw people talking about battery drain. I calibrated last night. So far after 13hours, I am down 17%. A definate improvement.

I also use juice defender.

Good luck! And remember, search, search, and search. You have a familiar question.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Hi,

yesterday i almost bricked my pad. At least i think so.

What i did was to copy a build.prop for US SKU insted of WW.

What that meant was that i couldn't get pass ASUS logo and the boot sequence didn't even start. At least i think this is a reason. Can't think of anything else. Except I have also temporarily unrooted it with OTA root keeper.

Anyway, long story short is that the only thing that helped me get my pad to life again was to manually update it to version .26 with a microSD card.

Because before this i have tried wipe data option and didn't help i have lost all my sd data, but that is a small price.

I went and started to get my pad in order and tweaks i had before. Rooted, changed build.prop and installed my own bootanimation.

I usually create my own folder for boot animations inside the /system/media and change the bootanimation_config_04.txt to pioint to my new zip. After restart, however, there was a weird bootanimation i have never seen before - android text, thats all.

I thought i did something wrong, because this always worked and i was surprised. Maybe a typo or something and the system provided with backup one....don't know.

So, i have searched and searched. No help. Whatever i did i always got that weird android animation.

Finally i have installed a bootanimation app from market, installed some random animation via that app and rebooted.

Huh, the animation changed, Dafuq?

So I looked at app settings and the location that it installs zip to is /data/local

My questions:

Is this normal? Why doesn't the old way work (/system/media), do i have a faulty installation?

Everything up until now looks pretty OK, except i am now getting a google maps crashes that i never had before.

I am away this week so i can't test everything, but it seems OK, except for some minor things. For example some games i had before cant be found on the market etc (dark knight, nfs). Maybe this is becouse of DPI changes.

Aynway, is this normal? What to do to get my /system/media way of bootnaimations back?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mylesmoney:
I have a Samsung galaxy s 3 no contract from T-Mobile, but now want a plan with them. I see that they have the 30 dollar a month 5gb unlimited data unlimited text and 100min of talk. Only problem is that its for " New tmobile.com orders or Walmart orders" only. Is there a way to still get the plan?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] URPREY:
I ordered a sim from T-Mobile.com and when I received it, I had to cut it down to a microsim, then activated it on a new account with the $30 plan. Works great.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whatsitsnamenow:
New plan just means you will have to get a new number.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mylesmoney:
So I will have to get a new sim card? I don't mind getting a new number, as long as I can get this awesome plan.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] URPREY:
Yes you need to order a new sim card online.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Swimguy14:
You can get a sim card for free from a tmobile store if you ask nicely and BS a good reason for needing it. Then just go to tmo prepaid website and select the plan it's pretty easy to find
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whatsitsnamenow:
You need an activation code along with the sim card for the $30 plan to work. Just order from TMobile. It's the easiest way. It's only .99 cents
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KirbyLirby:
When you're activating on the T-Mobile website, do you enter the Samsung Galaxy's Phone serial number (IMEI)? Or do you enter a "dumbphone's" IMEI instead?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] URPREY:
I put in the imei of my SGS3 and it worked fine

Sent from my T-Mo SGS3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whatsitsnamenow:
You can put anything. I just put all "9" and it work fine. Mine is a galaxy s3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KirbyLirby:
Thank you so much for your fast reply. I have one more question. T-Mobile asks for a Activation Code found in the activation booklet provided with your T-Mobile No Annual Contract phone. What do I enter for that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whatsitsnamenow:
Exactly that. The activation kit from t-mobile contains an activation code. Without it you can't do anything. The codes are unique so even if I can remember what my code was it won't help you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mylesmoney:
Okay I see what you guys are saying.

Step 1: order sim card from T-Mobile for 1 dollar

Step 2:Buy the 30 dollar unlimited plan from let's say Walmart.com(they email you the code)

Step 3: Put sim card in phone and activate it and then when asked do I have a refil card number, give them the 30 dollar unlimited plan code I just got.

Step 4: Jump around in excitement of all the money I'm gonna save.

Is this correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] URPREY:
Don't even bother with Wal-Mart. Once you receive the sim card from T-Mo, you can take care of all of it on T-Mo's website. You don't even need a refill card, only the sim card and activation kit with number.

BTW, you WILL need to cut the sim card so either buy a sim cutter for a few bucks from Amazon or get comfortable with a pair of scissors.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Babydollll:
No way to port, not that I know of.

If you don't pay your bill....they just shut off your service, it's pre paid.

No WiFi calling...as it's pre paid.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] mang.agoest:
thanks for great work :good:,

downloading now

can i use kernel from fxp138 or lupus kernel??

or must use provide kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
lupus kernel should work (haven't tested), not so sure about fxp 138. but you don't have to worry about that. ill be updating my rom as the FXP team releases updates. p.s fxp 137 is provided in the zip.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
sorry man, it'll be replaced in the next version!

yeah it only happens a few times after first boot. ill look into it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tidus1ph:
haven't unlocked my pro's bootloader yet. this one seems to be on the top of my list if i decide to go for jellybean. a rom created for the pro and not for arc so fixing things are more consistent for the pro's capabilities and limitation.

i'll wait until it's more polished.

keep up the good work! i'll be waiting...:victory:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Leo_83:
Hotspot and tethering?

Does this rom have support for hotspot and tethering?

And is it stable enough for daily use, I do allot of calls at work?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
It supports tethering. It's stable, but you'll have to try it out for your own satisfaction. P.s give the rom 1-2 hours to settle down after first boot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Leo_83:
Bluetooth tethering or USB?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
bluetooth/ portable wifi hotspot. no usb tethering sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxxan7:
WiFi Direct is wireless technology allowing several WiFi-enabled devices to interact directly with each other without having to go through a router. WiFi Direct will enable you to wirelessly print from a device or enable two players to play against each other in a WiFi-supported video game by directly partnering the two devices. And, though WiFi Direct is a new technology, current standards will require only one device to be WiFi Direct-enabled as long as the partner device is WiFi capable. The technology is similar to a Bluetooth connection but much stronger and with a better connection and further reach.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] M.WeWe:
i want to make a backup that i can restore

my Phone running CM9.1 FXP138

when i restore any backup that i made with

CWM i always got this massage when trying

to restore it

E: Formatting_Volume : make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

Error while formatting /system

Can i restore the backup with any other way

​
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sixdaysandy:
It seems that a subset of devices are slightly volatile when it comes to the mmc driver than CMW uses. I experienced this issue ages ago, and couldn't find a resolution that I could implement.

The newer versions of the ICS Kernels now use a different mmc driver and do not suffer this issue, so install Krabappel's SSSpeedKernel or Arakmar's Advance Stock Kernel and you'll be able to restore your backups.

Krab's is good as it's CWM flashable, so you can use CM9/10 and when you need to restore a backup flash Krab's Kernel, reboot, then restore and the backup will restore the former Kernel for you as well :D

EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the wrong forum for this post, should be Q&A or General at the very most.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] M.WeWe:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viper1344:
Hi, I own a Galaxy Nexus. Flashed AOKP Milestone 6 on it with Gapps and latest Franco Kernel, after loading my information I noticed my VPN fails to connect, is this a known issue with AOSP and AOKP roms or is this a fluke and I should reflash to fix it?

Thankyou for the help

I tried looking for answers on the forums but did not find any.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
you're holding it wrong

edit: actually...

1- dmesg/logcat or it didnt happen

2- post in francos thread. no one else is sharing your pain? next step.

3- reflash aokp, dont flash francos

4- still nothing? sorry, either its a problem with aokp (post on its thread) or with your vpn server.

also, you should state which vpn protocol you're trying to use, does it work on stock bla bla, have you tried with other clients (ex. can you connect to your vpn from a pc, with same credentials), wifi or data call/mobile network

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegehn:
Hello everyone.

I've just update to CM10 from CM7.2, and I really like it. Kudos to Epsilon and Quark for their work.

In CM7.x, there was the possibility to link 3G and Data usage, meaning that when I activated 3G, data would be automatically activated, and when I switched back to 2G, data would be desactivated. It was really convenient for me, allowing for longer battery cycles, and stricter data usage.

I can't find this feature on CM10. Do you know if there is a way to achieve it? Maybe via an app?

thanks for your answers.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leavard:
Use Llama. It can control both 2G/3( and mobile data on/off. Just set up one event to switch to 3G and turn on data, then another to switch to 2G and switch off data.

I've got my Llama doing allot of data management stuff. The beauty of it is that it has location based triggers that don't use any battery up looking for location services. It uses the cell ID of the tower you are connected to (and/or available wifi/Bluetooth if you want) to determine where you are.

If you are on GB ROM, straightway wipe cache and data

Check your CSC by *#272*IMEI#

If it is not set to INU, you won't get update, if you have have choice to select INU from list, select it. it will erase your data.

If you dont have INU in the list, Flash CSC of LR6 with CSC tab of PC odin.

PS. All i have described regarding CSC, should be performed under safe kernel.

Once after checking CSC is set to INU, Flash DDLR6 ROM with PC odin, After flashing LR6 successfully you will get OTA for LR9.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeetu1981:
Thanks Doc, but what I have observed is that if you have rooted ever and have installed mods or replaced system apps, then OTA is not successful, I was on stock LR6 with stock kernel and INU csc but OTA failed twice (after download, unsuccessful attempt to update), I un-rooted but still no luck, so I tried this,

1. Flashed stock Indian GB firmware using pc odin

2. Performed full wipe in stock recovery

3. Updated to latest available update LR6 using kies.

4. Then updated to LR9 OTA :)

Now I have rooted it again and have installed all mods :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bitts:
found the ota downloaded but cannot install...

after rebooting it goes into installation screen (green android with rotating Dodecahedron or Icosidodecahedron)

then after 5 sec or 5% cell reboots with message "updating failed try updating through kies later" ( or something like that).

and there is no update for kies as of yet.

what to do??

i am on stock rom with speedmod k3-13 and rooted with CWM method.

i saw your method.. is there any other method.. i dont want to wipe/f reset..

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geoux:

Why we are not having rom to flash through odin instead??? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
@ jeetu

Yes jeetu, that why i have asked to flash stock LR6 before flashing OTA.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geoux:
Can I flash stock LR6 using Mobile Odininstead of PC Odin? I got the OTA but failes to install because on HydraCore. So need to go back to stock kernel as you advised.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Ok first wipe cache and data

then flash LR6 using mobile odin, dont select ever root option. or dont change kernel from stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bitts:
i reinstalled DDLR6 kernel and OTA worked fine.

oh and dint wipe/f reset.. and i am still rooted after the update
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geoux:
Thanks. Did as you suggested. Now am on stock DDLR6 with stock kernel and without root. But software update is saying "No Updates Available". Confused.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Check your csc by code mentioned in op
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeetu1981:
Great!! you can now flash your fav. safe kernel and enjoy it.

OTA works sometimes even if you are rooted but I doubt it works if you have replaced lot of system apps including systemui and all like in my case ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shivg86:
I am on lr9 with call mod and 15 toggle and more.

The launcher is fast but somehow little bit laggy.and apps which are on main page which is in sd card then wen u reboot they will disappear....dats not good.

I hav flashed dr ketans pre rooted gb rom and used mobile odin to flash lr6 with stock kernel.

So my lr6 was also rooted.but guys dont put any mod or something please.den i upgraded to lr9 thru ota.nd still was rooted wd supersu and cwm.

Then i flashed hydracore kernel thru mobile odin.so now m on lr9 wd hydracore and with mods
