Use titanium backup. Once you have it started go to menu then batch then backup all user apps + system data. When you flash your phone download it again and go to batch then restore missing apps with data. Then you can look in the list for system apps you still want (apps backed up but not installed will have a line through the name) and also restore stuff like wifi networks, sms/mms etc.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jbrookley:
Out of curiosity, when you restore your phone to stock settings, do you recommend removing your SD card, clearing out your SD card, or does it affect the SD card at all?

Probably a really basic question (I imagine it only affects the phone itself) but I just wanted to make sure that I clear everything that needs to be cleared. Thanks for the quick response!
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I don't remove anything when I flash. Just hold volume down and plug in the phone no need to open it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
It may be better in this instance to restore app w/o data since ur goin from fp1 to fp5
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Doesn't matter for user apps
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
FWIW, might want to make note of the kernel you are on now. I would recommend to get on stock FP1 first (I know that Odin will/should fix that, but you never know with these things).

here's what I did (coming from tweaked 2.2, 0504 PBJ, EXT4):

1.) flashed 0524 PBJ

2.) converted back to RFS

3.) flashed stock FP1

4.) ODIN tweaked 2.2

5.) flashed the FP5 updaterizer and then the stock FP5

6.) flashed via CWM tweaked 3
[Verizon Droid Charge] jbrookley:
Thanks for the recommendation. Out of curiosity, why go to Tweaked V2.2 before going to Tweaked 3.0? Technically, I'm already on 2.2 so I don't really understand why I would want to go back to stock, then go back to Tweaked 2.2 and then going to Tweaked 3.0.

Is there a reason for this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
can't recall why I did this, except maybe to perform a clean install. i suppose you don't need to, but from what I understand, flashing something via ODIN is like performing a data wipe and then installing a ROM all in one swing.

but as I mentioned, these were the steps I took - so no guarantee that it will work for you. but if saves you 30 minutes, why not?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I think it's because we don't have a full system dump and the Odin only covers so much...
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
PB&J doesn't convert between RFS and Ext4. You have to use this:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3426-kernel-gb-imoseyon-kernel-stock-repacked-v400-11611/

Then Voodoo Sound will do the converting. PB&J supports EXT4 but it doesn't convert.

I was being charged the group texts as photo messages (on Orange network), just now orange support people confirmed me that there's a bug in Nokia Lumia phones that it always send group texts as photo messages. is it true? any body else facing the issue? any fix?

cheers...
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
I don't think that's exclusive to the Lumia, or a bug. Pretty sure that's just how Windows Phone works. You may want to look at using GroupMe which does go over SMS or Push.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ZeeShh:
hmm, you mean sending sms to more than one person on windows phone goes out a photo message or MMS message? I think this was not the case in HTC Mozart i used to have last year and even in previous versions of windows phone.

is there any setting I need to change? unfortunately the orange support team gave a clear verdict that on Nokia Lumia any sms going out to more than one receipient will go as MMS / photo messages.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
If you look at Messaging settings it says "Helps keep replies in one thread by using MMS" under the Group Text option. So, group text is going to use MMS on any WP7 device, not just a Lumia.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Try turning off Group Text option in Messaging Settings and see if that fixes it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ZeeShh:
Thanks and I've just turn the group text off and tested with my colleagues, it's ok now. but will check the group messages abroad because that's where I was charged as photo text messages.

wipe data before flashing jb: I used goo manager, and tried the manual way. I have made a recovery of the 4.0.4. If you want me to redo any steps I will do it just in case.

I just downloaded ROM Manager, so here is the new info

ClockworkMod Recovery version :5.5.0.2 (But I did not use clockworkmod recovery before, this is the first time I see it, should I click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery from the recovery tab in Rom Manager?)

Since you don't what you're doing, i suggest you follow the procedures here to return back to stock. once you're fully stock, you can think of installing a custom recovery.

Step 1: Swear off toolkits/ROM Manager/etc until you know how to flash manually.

[HTC One X] Skellyyy:
Currently on Slim's JB 2.5.0 and with only WiFi and screen on 3/4 brightness I manage about 2.5 hours at most. What can I do to improve this abysmal battery life? I'm loving stock JB (never thought I'd say that) but not loving the battery life that's inherited also.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Possibly the battery issues are due to a rogue app, so check that first with something like better battery stats if you haven't already

Could also just be that they're unofficial(not htc source) jb. Not sure how much of a difference it makes, I assume that the ics ones being based on official source, would likely have better battery than the new jb roms. Not 100% on that but you could always do a nandroid backup, try an ics rom (venom with faux or francos kernel recommended) and see if it's better. If you don't like it just restore backup, flash the previous jb kernel and done :)

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Also, it does depend what you're doing when the screen is on of course ie reading a book would take less battery than browsing web
[HTC One X] Kira.x20a:
I recommend NCX custom kernel! The battery now on my One X is really good some users are coming back with 6hours on screen time =) test them all out for a few days and see =)

for me coredorid is the best it give great battery life i get around 2 days with min use and a little of data i dont get much drain in the night and i dont off my phone it is on 24/7 :good::laugh:
[HTC One X] liquidguru:
I find that turning 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' to 'Only when when plugged in' in WiFi advanced makes a big difference. If you are using your phone Wi-Fi stays turned on. If you're not, when the phone sleeps, so does your WiFi. As soon as you wake your phone the Wi-Fi comes back on, so it really doesn't effect much

[HTC One X] lawrence750:
i agree, the only difference to watch out for, is how much battery the mobile internet would use in comparison, i *think* that the wifi is generally said to use less battery than mobile internet, but maybe this depends more on the signal strength etc
[HTC One X] ph_neutral:
Keeping screen brightness low and wifi, mobile data, BT etc. off helps, but..

[HTC One X] Gammarax:
Hey skelly,

I'm on Slim's JB 2.5 as well with ncx 7.5 kernel and I'm getting about the same battery life as you (assuming the 2.5 hours you're talking about is screen time :p).

For me, it's more than enough to get through the day. Charge at night, then wake up and repeat.

If battery life is important to you, I suggest going back to ICS with Sense first as I get about 2 days batt life with about 4-5 hours screen time. Some ROMs I've had great success with are ARHD and OrDroidX.

I honestly haven't seen anyone post that they're using a JB rom and have had more than or equal to 3 hours of on screen time.
[HTC One X] Skellyyy:
Thanks, everyone.

Oh so JB ROM's are known for their shoddy battery life? I thought it'd be the opposite lol. I'll give both those ROMs a shot at one stage or another, thanks. Where the significant drainage is is usually on my daily commute on the bus: brightness around 85%, music playing reading reddit with data turned on. Usually drains about 20% in around 15-30mins.

The length of time it takes to actually fully charge is a whole different subject, takes soooo long. :p

How do I flash a new kernel? Through fastboot or CWM?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dwain77:
Last night my wife's S2 battery died. When she plugged it in it comes up with the Samsung Galaxy SII splash screen, then black and then the splash screen again. We let it charge overnight and the charge looks fine. When I tried again this morning to turn the phone on I get the same results.

So I thought I'd be able to get into download mode and flash the stock ROM with Odin. I'm able to get into download mode, but now the problem is when I hook it to my PC via USB I'm getting an Unknown Device error. I've tried to reinstall the driver itself, un-installed/re-installed Kies and the drivers...still no luck. I've also went into device manager and uninstalled the unknown device, rebooted and as soon as I reconnect the phone I get the same message. I've even used a toothbrush to clean the micro USB port, just in case.

I'm sure if I can get this to connect properly via USB I should be able to get the phone back up and running.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
Try to reboot into Recovery and then Wipe data/factory reset and Reboot.

Or wipe cache first, then try to reboot. And if a no go, then wipe data, reboot.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidarmin:
Had the same issue with my GS3 (I9300) after switching from those Straight Talk Bastards to AT&T:

Whereas Straight Talk simply f*cked up b/c of a collapse of their data network, so I assume (with nobody at ST saying a word for 2 days, of course.. ), it turned out that AT&T actually had deleted my new account - by mistake - after just one week of 'happy browsing'. :confused:

A trip to the local AT&T store solved the mystery and got me up & running again.

Unfortunately, though, it took the AT&T folks a while to figure it out, as they are not used to unbranded/international/ unlocked phones wanting to join their US network. (Don't even try to solve this over the phone, if you have a choice).

Kudos to the AT&T staff, though, as they got the problem resolved eventually. It definitely helped a great deal that my phone had been working just fine on their network just a week ago, so I was able to stand my ground and insist that the problem was at their end.

One of the reps - apparently without a clue - tried to tell me all sorts of BS, e.g. that the I9300 would not work on AT&T; that some Samsung phones supposedly don't work with their network... bla bla blub blub... :D

Fortunately, I knew better and told him so. Otherwise, he may have successfully gotten rid of me; making me search for the problem someplace else (a.k.a. giving me the run-around or making me chase my tail, etc. :banghead: )

Thanks to xda (and the Internet), however, I had all the knowledge necessary to make sure they get it back to work. Now I'm browsing the web again with 7Mbps Down/3Mbps Up speeds, using AT&T's really fast HSPA+ network here in the Chicago Northern Suburbs (close to O'Hare)... Yay! ;)

Good Luck with finding the problem with your data loss issue!! :thumbup:

P.S.: Let me know if you need my APN settings; just for comparison (.. in case you are in the US, too).

Cheers,

Verifiyng update package ...

2) Then I built an AOKP jellybean custom ROM following the instructions on

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31166-tutorial-so-you-want-to-build-aokp-jb-ubuntu-1204/

3) Then I followed http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/release_keys.html to create a distribution release and my own private signing certificates, and signed the APKs in the target files. Then I used ota_from_target_files to create an OTA zip signed with my own key.

4) I copied the signed OTA package to mSD card and boot the tablet to Recovery, then I wiped everything (factory/data reset, cache, ectc) including formating /system partition, then I enabled the Signature Verificaiton, and then selected the zip to install, and got the "Failed to verify the whole-file signature" error message.

By the way, if I disable the signature verification, I can load the zip successfully.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong or if I missed any necessary steps? Much appreciated.
