Thanks god nobody got injured, but I seriously got a little irritated by this post. You put other people in danger because you were playing with your phone. And now you're warning others because you feel it's your responsibility? It should be clear that you shouldn't use your phone while driving! I mean, you hear it everyday and I don't believe it's new information to you.

Once again, thank god you and the others are alright.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbdakidd22:
I understand your anger and I dont blame you for it nor do I condone my actions. I still feel I should remind fellow members of these irresponsible actions. Thank you for your concern.

Re: It can wait

I would like to think 99% of this forum are aware of the stupidity of using a phone while driving without your public service announcement. Thankfully you didn't kill anyone whilst you decided your time is better spent pissballing about rather then concentrating on not killing innocent people :thumbup:

glad it was only metal which was bent ....I think talking on cell phone and driving should be worth a ticket in Florida ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
You don't have those commercials where you live? The one where it'll have just one word in black text over a white background (for example)

"Hey"

Then it has someone explain how that was the last word their son/daughter/brother/sister etc. ever saw because that was the text message they were reading when they got into a fatal car accident.

I see the commercial almost daily here and don't personally need to be reminded, but the gesture is nice I suppose.

What you have to remember is that you are responsible for moving thousands of pounds of sharp, jagged metal, glass and combustible fuels. Generally speaking, none of these play very well with the human body. If you stop paying attention to what you're doing for even a second, you can effectively turn your car into a wrecking ball or missile.

There are plenty of ways to have your texts read to you via Bluetooth headsets or over your car speakers. This is Android, we can literally do just about anything with these phones.

(Off topic Apple rant spawned from this)

Every time I get in a car with an iPhone user they are always driving and messing with texts or music. Freaking idiots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbdakidd22:
Just to clear the air a bit and I should have posted this from the beginning, I wasnt TEXTING or TALKING on the phone. I was merely flipping thru tracks on my music player and got distracted. I'm not saying this makes it any better, rather I am just stating the facts. I have apologized to the people I hit and I am TRULY SORRY not that it matters to anyone here. This can happen to anyone and I just hope that it doesnt. Lesson learned.

I understand and agree that while it should be common sense, these ad campaigns are statistically shown to save lives so thanks for the post.

I'm glad you've never made a stupid mistake. Thanks for your accurate statistics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeew83:
Not to be an ass but I don't need to learn from your mistakes as I know not to make them this is just silly people like you are what makes driving dangerous for others and what's more ironic you will I'm sure do it again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbdakidd22:
I'm not asking you or anyone to learn from my mistake, if you have the common sense not to make the same mistake then Bravo and thumbs up to you. But I hope you have the same common sense not to get distracted by anything else that may be in your sight. I love people like you and killyouridols, so self righteous and you presume to know anything about a person. Really your condescending tone means sh*t to me and yes you do sound like an ass. Anyone can make a mistake, God forbid you make a mistake and have to go thru a traumatic situation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeew83:
Also upon reading your post again why aren't you in jail running a stop light and endangering the lives of others and your thought the next day is to get on here and tell us what watch out for idiots like you on the road can a moderator please remove this. This is just ridiculous

You didn't make a 'stupid mistake' you ran the risk of killing several innocent people. That's not a 'mistake'

that's sheer idiocy. My 'accurate statistics' aren't really the problem here, huh?

Your 'stupid mistake' whilst In control of tonnes of fast moving metal is akin to wandering around with a loaded gun with your finger on the trigger. It don't take a genius to realise it may end it a casualty.

It doesn't really need the fact pointing out either....

Nothing wrong with a member giving a quick reminder about safety. (Although off topic) Personally, I'd rather see one of these P.S.A.'s then the 50 iPhone threads I have to close every day. It's a shame people can not just move on and not post if you have nothing nice to say.

Glad everyone was safe and everything is good. Now with that said, I'll be closing this.

Hi

I was using Galaxy Ace earlier and had locked (encrypted with *.flock extension) certain files using the 'Lock Files' app created by Smiles Repaired.

www[dot]androidblip[dot]com/android-apps/lock-files-128571.html

It is not available anymore on the Play Store.

I need to unlock those files and hence would require the APK for the same.

Anyone who has it please share ASAP or please guide me to the appropriate forum.

Thanks..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SJUnion:
Im following the guide in the development section in regard to flashing back to stock. However Im running both custom rom and a custom kernal. Is there anything special I have to do with regards to the kernal or will flashing the stock image in odin do everything I need it to do to run the "stock rom"?

Thank you.

Problem Solved. Following the instructions found in the Development Section (Section 6) by DroidStyle will flash you back to stock regardless or what kernals, modems, or roms you have flashed onto the phone.

Thanks to Slim and Droid for answering my question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
There is something else you need to do. If you're following DroidStyle's guide then he states everything you need to do to return to stock in section 6 of his guide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SJUnion:
Yep thats the one Im going by. It doesnt mention any caveats in regard to somone who is running a custom kernel. Just one at the top if you want to relock the bootloader, which I dont want to do.

I just want the stock image on the phone while retaining root and an unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I believe the title states "Using Odin to flash back to Stock from

any rom

/ recover from a soft brick, so yea your covered :good:

There are no caveats mentioned because there is no need...flashing back to stock replaces the rom and boot.img all back to stock, so follow the guide and your good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SJUnion:
=) Thanks and sorry I just wasnt sure if the custom kernal was a seperate element from the custom rom. I installed it seperately so I just wanted to make sure that using odin to flash the stock image would cover both bases.

Again sorry if I butchered the verbage, some of the techincal details are beyond me. :laugh:

Hi all..I am going to Aruba in a few days......Can the Verizon Galaxy Nexus be used there? Is it GSM capable?

Thanks

hmmm strange that you will say NO......I just called Verizon (3 times) spoke to 3 differennt techs......and they all informed me that it can be used in Aruba!!

Guess when I get there...I will know for sure :)

Thanks for your response
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
There's no GSM radio in the Verizon Nexus, only CDMA and LTE radio.

A quick google search shows that there is CDMA networks in Aruba, so you should be able to roam.

The stock rom will be even more laggy. Your problem is that you bought an old slow phone & got the cut down version with just 256mb ram, so it's even more laggy.

I am running CleanROM 2.1 with the CleanKERNEL and AOSP Blue Mod Theme on my GS3. It is overclocked to 1.70Ghz .It has been working great for the past 3 days or so I have had it set up like this. I took the OTA before re-rooting and reunlocking and before ever putting any ROMs on the phone. I had the phone on my car charger on my way to work this morning, after draining a bunch of battry streaming F1 practice. When I got to work, I pull the phone off the charger and we inside. When I went to check my phone, it was black. And still is. The phone was working fine while on the charger, but now I can not get it to respond to anything. I have tried to reboot, reboot to recovery, pull the battery, and have it plugged in. The only thing happening is the phone becomes warm while plugged in.

I have no flashed anything for 3 days or so. I don't know what could have happened. Any thoughts?? Please help. I am kinda freaking out right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
So you pulled the battery out, then put it back in. Then held volume up, the home button and then the power button?

What about Odin mode? Volume down, home button and the

power button?

Make sure to unplug the phone while doing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psychedelicNerd:
This happened to me a few times but with a slightly different scenario. If i tried to power up my phone, it would give a brief vibration and then show me a battery sign with a big 0 on it (green battery image). No matter what i did it wont boot up. And my battery wasn't at 0% when it happened. I was able to get into recovery and restore a backup.

In your case, check if there is any power in your battery (or borrow someone's who has an s3) and see if you are able to boot into recovery.

Hope you are able to fix it. Good Luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
Yeah, I tried all of the above. I don't even get a red light while the phone is plugged in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Then it might be your battery as the other person mentioned. The bettery is either bad or the device is not charging it. Have you tired different chargers as well? It can even be your charging port...

Odin mode and recovery have nothing to do with your ROM when you boot into them. If you boot into that, it boots before loading your Rom.

Go to the Verizon store and just ask if you can try their battery from the demo unti or something if you do not know anyone else with an S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
There is guy coming in later today with a GS3, I will try his battery when he gets here. I know I was at 99% battery when I pulled it off my car charger. But, I suppose it is possible the battery is fried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
My bet is battery. Put it on the charger for 10 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
I have had it on the charger for the past 20-30min, and the phone has just gotten hot. Still no signs of life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
USB or wall charger? Weird if it was at 99% though. And you definitely unplugged it when doing the battery pull and trying to get into recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
USB charger... wall charger is at home. And I did unplug it to try to get to recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] z06mike:
Can you get into recovery or Odin mode when the phone is plugged in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
Nope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
Not good news.... just tried a co-workers battery in my phone, and the phone is still dead. I tried my battery in his phone, and his phone started right up. I have no idea what could have happened at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psychedelicNerd:
Don't want to sound like a broken record, but have you tried keeping your power button pressed for 5-10 seconds? Its weird but the brief vibration I got in my case was when I had it pressed for a good 5-7 seconds and then nothing would happen. Just checking if you have the same symptoms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
Yeah, I have held it for 1 minute+. I am really lost on what could have caused this. It seems to me, and my uneducated mind, it may be a hardware issue. I just don't know what or why.

I just got home from work, still with no luck. I guess if I can't get life into it, Verizon can't either?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I would just call for a replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
This is kinda where I am at. I feel like it is a hardware problem more then a software problem aka not my fault.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
So what was the final outcome on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sololhj:
This happened to me a few weeks ago. I had my GS3 for about a month. Everything was stock. Never rooted or unlocked.

Its a hardware issue.

If you return your phone to Verizon they will give you a refurb.

I believe the phone gets sent to Verizon not Samsung. Since I wasn't rooted it didn't matter for me, but since you can't even boot into ODIN at the store they won't be able to tell that your phone is rooted so they will order you a refurb straight away.

Its possible that when it gets to the Verizon testing facility they will discover that its been rooted and expect you to pay full price for the replacement. I have no idea.

Good Luck

[HTC One X] junialum:
Hi all,

My battery life on the One X has been great before the 2.17 update. Better than the average being reported on this forum.

After 2.17 it plummeted to 14 hours or so with barely 2 hours of screen time.

Nothing was changed after the update on my end. Same apps, etc. All on stock.

What are my options? Will a hard reset solve it?

Thanks.

Update

The factory reset did the trick. Battery is back functioning properly and I did get extra juice out of the 2.17 update.

If you do find a weird drop in battery life and the ONLY change is that you updated the firmware, a hard reset may solve it like it did for me.
[HTC One X] darwich:
You should go thru a couple of charging cycles before complaining about battery time.. everytime you flash a new rom or update the phone the battery has to calibrate ( as far as i know ), and that takes about 2 - 4 recharge cycles..

in case you already done that, then check you sync settings, brightness if its too high, or low.. Maybe you are used to be on wifi instead of 3g ?
[HTC One X] junialum:
It has gone through over 10 full charge cycles.

Sync is off. Brightness minimum.

Wifi and 3G usage patterns are similar.

Just noticed that Phone Idle is consuming a lot more.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Maybe it's the new radio which is affecting your signal, try flashing an older radio. My battery life is better on the new firmware.
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
i first of all found the battery life had dropped, i ended up resetting the phone and it got much better, i think some old app was getting lodged in the memory and preventing deep sleep.

i ran it for about 2 weeks before i decided to wipe.
[HTC One X] junialum:
@nikzDHD

I suspect it could be that. My provider does not provide that strong a connectivity. But that is something I can't change for the next year or so.

@audiobookman

I decided to wipe it today. Also waited about 2-3 weeks before deciding enough is enough.

--

I did a HTC Battery test and found that my battery was in good condition and performed way better than their baseline. So, I went on to wipe the phone clean and started from scratch.

It was not a painful process actually. Most of my stuff are on the cloud (Google/Dropbox/Skydrive) and the only things I had to back up was the list of apps I had and some settings from apps like Tasker and Minimalist Text. I got everything back up and running within an hour + (reinstalling 60+ apps and getting them setup the way they were takes time).

So far, battery seems a lot better and back to the former period but, it is too early to tell. I'll give it a week of use and a fair amount of full charge cycles before commenting.

Will update this thread then.

If anyone has other ideas please sound out. Thanks a lot!
[HTC One X] tadas_max:
I do a factory reset after every OTA because of the reasons you mention of this thread. After it battery life seems to get better or at least not worse as on previous firmware version. I hate doing that but it seems the only way
