[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurker316:
Alright, I am on stock Android ICS 4.0.3 Samsung.

Since the past 3 or 4 days I've noticed that my phone's battery dies overnight. I rarely ever install new apps, rarely even use anything other than chrome, facebook app, Google+ app, gmail, gtalk. thats it.

Been using these for the past year or so, no problem. But since the last 3 days I've noticed that my battery is draining really fast. If I switch off wifi, it drains at the normal rate. Normal rate = 3 days standby.

As soon as I switch on WiFi, the drain starts. 3G data services have been disabled, because I don't have a data plan. All data usage is only over WiFi. I've checked wifi data usage over the past 4 days and It says I have used over 1.8Gb. When infact I don't use this much data even on my home pc to do anything! I am a very passive user. I know I haven't streamed video/audio in the past 7 days. no Youtubing even.

I installed my data manager to see what app was eating all that data. It says "OS Services".

I have rebooted the phone several times. Uninstalled several apps, like Facebook etc.. Did you guys know Google+ cannot be uninstalled? :P But I really think its some push service that just keeps on pushing. Any advise?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurker316:
I thought i'd let you guys know that i fixed the issue, i think. I had to reboot my home routers. Ever since the reboot of the routers, things have been very stable.

Google+ cannot be uninstalled because its pretty much android bloatware. Root your phone and you can delete anything you want within reason.

[SOLVED]"Unable to find mounted volume"/"error finding an appropriate backup handler"

I'm trying to make a backup (internal or external card is the same), I get the error "Unable to find mounted volume" / "error finding an appropriate backup handler" . . but the card is mounted. it can go in the card and look at the files. I have a 64G FAT32 sandisk card.

Update: I tried to make backup with a 32g card and I tried using Koush touch recovery (latest version) and with Chainfire recovery 5.5 all with the same result.

Problem seems to appear since I flashed latest JB.

Hi all!

Been happy with my Android workphone for two and a half years now. But my ol' Desire is getting a bit tired and out of date. So I will get a new device soon.

But new corporate policy is that we only run iPhones as workphones. So my next will probably be an iPhone 5.

I know it´s a mighty fine handset I'll be getting but this ol' dog is a kind of a droidy dog. I´m clearly beeing thrown a bit outside my comfort zone here.

So I´ll gladly take any advice on how to handle the green abstinence, tips 'n tricks about managin' stuff in iOS and maybe the odd "hang in there".

Try to jailbreak it for one, sure it won't be exactly like android but it will be close enough and there are some pretty cool stuff you can do when you jailbreak your iphone. My friend was able to have an up and down scroll-able screen for his apps (kinda like the app drawer for gingerbread), as well as adding actual widgets.

Get a Goophone i5. But seriously why are they forcing the iPhone on you. I would try to convince them that it will slow your productivity since its slower to write emails/texts on because it doesn't have swype. I guess companies use iOS because its easier for new users and iOS never changes.

Objectivly speaking now, i think iphone might be morw than suited for work related stuff.

It will run the required apps, it will run them smoothly, and generally bug free (less bugs than a full on modified rom for android most likely) . What would you really be using it for? Work email, work calls, work texts.

You can always have a personal android phone for leisure, tinkering and gratifying personalization. The iphone will do what it can, and do it good. The android will do what you want.

Get an android anyway. A policy like that sounds like you work at the apple store.

Put a case on it, and once in a while ask it questions to act like you have siri.

You can pull the wool over a sheep's eyes.

They can't tell you have an android because it functions like iphones, maps, web, txt, and call.

Also, are you paying for it or they are?

If you're paying get android.

If they pay. Well, ..... Nice knowing you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epexia:
Search didnt help, and cant post on development section yet.

So my problem is with pretty much all ICS roms ive tried, but currently i am running CM9 RC3.

So my phone randomly crashes, when im listening to music with apollo and dspmanager running. sometimes it just crashes in my pocket, sometimes it crashes when some one calls me while im scrolling songs etc, sometimes it just crashes without doing anything, but the weird thing is that everytime my phone crashes, theres a 50/50 chance to boot it, sometimes it boots but battery can jump from 80% to like 14% etc..

sometimes it can jump from 80% to 0% (?) and when that happens my PIN code doesnt register and the phone will just crash in seconds.

But usually i have to take battery out, wait a sec then it usually boots but battery always drops to 4-20% and starts charging on its own..

Before installing i have done full wipe, fixed permissions, calibrated battery, used CWM 5.5.0.4, tried ODIN (no luck with that either).

I flashed Broodrom (GB) And it crashed also with same problem..

Ive tried BioHazard rom, same problem, but when i flash stock ROM, no crashes..

Pls halp:D

E: Forgot to add, sometimes when it crashes its stuck on bootloop until i take battery out, after that it MIGHT boot, not always. But it never crashes when on charger..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepie22:
What do you mean crash??

Does it restart or apps just ForceClose??

If it restarts, does It begin from the beginning of the boot cycle or just the boot animation??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffroy77:
I have the exact same problem with my i9001 since 3 weeks now. It started when flashing broodrom and now happens with any ROM (I have tried a few, cleared cache, format system, etc....). Even the battery behaviour is exactly the same as you describe..

To answer the question: the phone restarts from the Samsung boot screen. IF anybody has any clue, it would be great to hear... It's a very annoying issue I can tell you!

Thanks in advance!

Thats something you should take note: your battery is most likely dying.

I had the same exact issue: Started with the stock ROM, flashed Paranoid but it continued. Took it to service (with a stock ROM), came back re flashed and wiped. The same thing continued, no matter what ROM I was using so i figured it had to be a hardware problem.

I noticed that my battery had swollen a bit, like 1-2 mm so that I could see it easily: the battery should be flat, mine was not. Borrowed a battery from a friends I9001 and got no crashes after 15 minutes of heavy use: problem solved!

Bought a new battery and haven't had a problem since.

The battery has only 6 months warranty and my phone was a year old, I kept the old one as really crappy spare battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epexia:
Sorry guise, forgot to post here!

I bough a Polarcell 1800mAh battery and no more crashes, my old battery had swelled, if yours is also its pretty easy to notice, i just put my credit card on top of the battery to check it.

So yeah, you have this problem, new battery, thats all.

Hi. Thanks for the quick replies!

I have actually just tried to exchange batteries with a friend having the same phone --> his phone crashed, mine did not anymore. I then saw by carefully looking at the battery that it had indeed maybe a 1mm swell in the middle. Just ordered a replacement one. I am confident this will fix the issue.

Again, thanks for your reaction.. Nice to see the responsiveness of this forum!

I got same problem with my phone, first phone gets frozen/stuck and then reboot itself from bootscreen. This was totaly random issue. After trying several roms, and kernels, underclocking cpu, I found that problem is in external sdcard. I think this is battery related issue. After unmounting and removing external sdcard, reboots gone, and battery lasts at least 20% longer. Im not using my phone like external storage, so I dont miss external sdcard, I got quite enough space on internal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x-zero202:
Problem fixed!

I found out that my SIM card was corrupted and caused my phone to be unable to boot. And the random shutdowns with sudden battery drains were fixed by changing the battery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7 VII 7:
Wife has the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and has the latest ICS OTA OS. Her phone has never been rooted or anything. Stock as stock could be.

She got the notification that the Jelly Bean OTA was ready for her to download and she downloaded it and as it was installing it (rebooting) and getting the little android with the blue object spinning, 1/4 of the way through she got the android guy on his back with a red triangle and an ! point in the triangle

It then rebooted and and she was back to 4.0.4 as if nothing happened.

I then did a factor reset by going to "Back Up and Restore" and formatted her phone. Then without adding anything to her phone I put it on our wifi and downloaded the OTA again for Jelly Bean.... it happened again! I got the little android on his back with a red triangle and ! point.

I then went into recovery mode by holding down the Volume Up and Down and POWER and formatted the /data and /cache directories and then doing a factory reset that way also. Still got the issue after I downloaded the OTA Jelly Bean again! I tried different methods for doing factory reset then format /data then /cache also formatting /cache then /data all those options... still having the same issue.

I took a look at the "yellow text" of what the error was and it talked about Status 7 error. When doing a search for Status 7 errors and the new OTA Jelly Bean update it looks like everyone that has that error has something to do with them being rooted, well my wife's phone is not rooted at all. So the suggestions that they state have not worked for her phone.

Please any assistance would be great as I have researched asked other forums/websites and all they say is "factory reset your phone". Well I have done that.

Thank you guys in advance. I will be back if the suggestions work and follow through. :good:

For those of you that would like to try the latest official HTC stock ICS 4.04/Sense 3.6 ROM without the hassle of losing S-OFF by upgrading to HTC HBOOT 2.02.0002, I present to you:

vivo_signed_WWE_4.14.405.2_ICS_SENSE36_1.zip Version 1.0 (Requires BlackRose 2.02.0002)

Update 10/07/2012 : Introducing Version 2.0.

vivo_signed_WWE_4.14.405.2_ICS_SENSE36_4.zip Version 2.0 (No longer requires BlackRose 2.02.0002)

This is made with dsixda and his kitchen and based on the latest official from HTC

RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.14.405.2 that is now available at HTDEV.com.
​

Version 1.0 (Original version 9/27/2012)

This ROM requires that you upgrade Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.to BlackRose 2.02.0002 because of space issues with the ICS /system partition.

It does not require HTC HBOOT 2.02.0002 like the official RUU/ROM.zip does, which means you can keep hboot S-OFF.

Information about upgrade Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13 to BlackRose 2.02.0002 can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1509236

If you guys have problem installing blackrose, you can always try to do another method (thanks to Nonverbose) here post #13: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26909973&postcount=13 (thanks for that tip zukri90)

If you have a HTC Unlocked bootloader 2.02.0002 and a custom recovery installed, you may also flash this ROM, but you will probably have to flash the boot.img manually like any custom ROM.

Based on user feedback, a full wipe/system reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache is required for best results.

This build has been tested with BlackRose 2.02.0002 and the latest version of 4EXT Touch recovery.

/system/app and framework has been completely deoxed.

Support for init.d added for use with custom kernels.
