Dunno if this is the right way to ask.. but

L21 Android 4.0 WCDMA Bar Phone w/ 4.3" Capacitive Screen, GPS, Wi-Fi and Dual-SIM - White

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/l21-an...ve-gps-wi-fi-and-dual-sim-white-144424?item=2

I want to buy this phone, but should I? I don't have much money, and I want double sim support. Found this thinner one.

The question is, what produce it, is there any official site/roms for it? Or any reviews?

Thanks :)

(if this is the wrong space, please tell me where or move it!)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladson1976:
Its the Star L21 china mobile. Specs seem decent enough.

Comes with a spare battery which is not unusual for a china made phone.

Not sure if there is any official site for it.

For reviews search Google for "Star L21 android dual sim phone"

I just switched to ATT, and got their Galaxy S3. I love my new service and love the GS3, but of course, I'm on the Mobile Share plan with another person. I use the data-usage monitor to monitor data usage so I don't run into overage. I had been running it since I got the phone on September 20, but just a few hours ago, it self-erased and went back to zero, even tho I had the data cycle going from September 20-October 19. ??? Why did it happen, and what can I do? Has anyone else run into this glitch?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
Just dial *3282# (*DATA#) in the dialer, it will tell you your data usage straight from att. It is much more accurate. Not sure why the counter erased itself but it is kinda inaccurate at times anyhow and that could get you into overages. Dialing the code I sent you will get a free text sent to your phone with current data usage. There are other codes for minutes used and such as well, Google them if your curious.

Edit: att also offers an app in the play store that reports your data/text/minutes usage as recorded by att, where's as the on phone data counter records usage on the phone itself which is why it often differs from the way att themselves records data usage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DiamondJay20:
thanks, but am I the only one experiencing this glitch? I hope I don't have a defective phone or something. Has anyone else with ICS experienced this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
It has happened to me from time to time, I've always looked at that feature as more of a novelty and never really worried about it though. If I was you I wouldn't really worry really either, it's software, it glitches here and there. At least it's glitching a non vital part of the phone lol.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
Self erased data usage.

This happened to me as well twice.

1)

I realized that the data was still there until I started to sync with my TiBu to dropbox/google drive. Then my data went to 0 on the charts.

I was still able to see the data used per app, but nothing shows on the charts.

Although it may not be accurate I use this feature a lot. I would just like to know what makes it reset on its own?

My cycle is on the 2nd of each month and I lost it on the 15th.

2)

Another issue is the vertical lines that shows you data used on each time period. I would like it to default to my cycle (so i dont have to readjust everytime) How do I do that.

Thinking back.......I think I did have my cycle set as the 15th, but that was changed a long time ago.

Could it be possible that the change only takes effect after the cycle is complete?

For example

Jan 1, 2000. I set my cycle to the 10th of every month.

Jan 2, 2000 I change it to 25th of every month.

I think it will still reset on the 10th?

Anyone running NFL Mobile by Verizon on their Kindle?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homeeey:
Seem to be talking to myself, that's OK, not the first time. Still hoping someone can offer some insight.

I'm still running CM10 and the NFL Mobile app shows as incompatible in the Play store. Last night I pulled the NFLmobile.apk from my phone and pushed it to my Kindle. It installed fine, but when I launched it immediately went to an upgrade that apparantly doesn't work because it just sits there. Also, I'm not sure where the apk got installed to, it's not in the system>app, on the phone is was under system>vendor>app, but the Kindle doesn't have that, so maybe I need to create?

Also, I've been reading about a client that needs to be installed, I think I may have found that on my phone an I'm going to install that as well. Think it has to do with registering or signing in???

Thanks for listening.:D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homeeey:
I pulled com.mobitv.client.nfl2010-1.apk from the data/app directory of my phone and installed it on the kindle. Told me that it was replacing an app, then I launched it and a different dialog box popped up that said something about NFL mobile only for verizon customers. I guess next step is to install the verizon sign in client?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Odogray:
I am having a trouble with 4G LTE connetion on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus running MIUI 2.9.21. I flashed the rom and must say. Everything seems to be working except when I went to the play store and downloaded speedtest.net (A necessity) and I noticed it was moving very slow to search and download. So It finished downloading and I start it up. I look at the speeds and they were so horrible I have to post them. 713kbps down, 566kbps up, ping 142ms. This is bad considering that I live in a well lit 4 bars all the time and rarely dips into 3 bars, 4g area and with other roms Like codename Android and stock I easily get 20,000kbps down, 15,000kbps up, and ping 7ms. *Note that for me to enable 4G on those roms I will have to settings, and update my profile* I do not see any thing like that in MIUI. So i'm asking Is there a way to update my profile in MIUI.

I love MIUI for the customizability <---- If that's a word| and speed on all my previous phone: HTC HD2, T-mobile G2, and T-Mo G2X. Now that I have this phone I would like to continue the trend of having MIUI Freedom on this phone.

I have the same issue. I see I can change Network Mode to "LTE/CDMA" in Mobile Network Settings, but I have yet to see my phone show me any "4G" speed, even though I realize Sprint's 4G availability is spotty in San Jose, CA area. I'm wondering if this ROM supports 4G LTE on Sprint?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] charlie460:
Hi there --

I'm a recent convert to the GS3 (and Android in general) from an iPhone 4. About all the music I listen to in my car was from my iPhone, and I want to do the same with my GS3, however, the sound quality from the 3.5mm jack to the AUX in on my car's deck is absolutely awful. I have to turn the volume much higher than I ever did with my iPhone or iPod, and even then the sound quality is very poor -- there is very little punch/bass in the music.

I've been researching a possible "USB car dock cable" which would allow me to get line out audio (rather than through the regular headphone jack) through the USB port on the bottom of the phone, but it seems the only solution is to buy a dock or DIY the cable yourself, nobody seems to sell them (and I'm not really willing to DIY a cable).

Any ideas what I might be able to do to improve the audio quality? I absolutely love the phone, but this is a pretty big caveat for me. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
Mine sounds great, do headphones sound ok? Maybe your aux port is effed up. If that's the case exchange it ASAP. Are you rooted? Custom rom? Stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] charlie460:
Headphones sound fine from my GS3, and other devices (iPhone/iPod) sound great on the same AUX jack in my car.

I am rooted running the leaked Bell Jellybean Touchwiz ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget_boy:
Be interested to see what replies there are to this. I have the exact same problem. I find the volume is way too quiet and if I turn up the audio on my stereo I get an awful hissing noise. I have no problems on my sensation XE, only GS3. Headphones work fine so I seriously doubt its the aux port on the phone.

I have found some info that might help as your rooted.....

I have a 07 lexus, with an older bluetooth profile that does not allow for streaming music. I found a belkin product, caraudio connect, that will create a streaming a2dp profile through my aux port. On my s3/att/ics (stock), everything worked great. I had a profile for my phone audio and another for my media audio, and could connect both at the same time. This was great as i did not have to switch to aux for phone calls.

However, i had issues with hiss, drops, static, engine noise, etc. I had used many ground loop isolators in the RCA/car audio world, but never one on a 3.5mm stereo (double pole) connection. After adding the inline isolator from my aux port to the belkin product, my engine noise disappeared! I also found that when i updated to JB (CM10/sapir), both bluetooth profiles could operate at the same time without any interference issues on each profile.

If you have any questions on my rig, let me know.

Interesting topic. I've had issues with other phones where the volume couldn't be turned all the way up, as that would cause distortion. Have you tried turning your volume down a couple notches? I use my phone plugged into my car stereo all the time with zero distortion.

Could be hardware problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wataytay69:
I just got the galaxy s3. Moved over from iPhone land. But am disappointed with this issue.

When I use the aux in via headphone jack and charge at the same time I get a horrible whine cracking and popping noise. This is unusual to me as I never had this issue with any of my I phones (3g and 4). This seems like a glaring oversight on Samsung part.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Hey guys, not sure if anyone here migrated from Windows Mobile (as I did) or from iOS but there is this fantastic RTS developer called Isotope244 famous for their Machines at War series (Land Sea Air Warfare for those iOS people, technically MaW2) is now at work on Machines at War 3 and so far we're still not seeing any Android love. But, if you look back to an old Twitter question asked last year Isotope244 did seem interested in possibly branching out into Android. I think they haven't seen much interest in Android ports from their fans but I just contacted them on Facebook asking for support and I hope others will as well; who knows, we might have our first truly solid RTS on Android.

I know, I know, why encrypt etc. I just wanted to test it.

Anyway, so I started encrypting my phone running CM 10 Sept 21st nightly, it reboots and asks for my pin, after I put my pin it starts to, what I think it was, decrypting the phone and stays in that screen for over 2 hours. I then decide to hit the power button and to my surprise the screen goes off, when I turn it back on, It asks for the pin to unlock. Right after I unlock it goes to the CM logo, back to lock screen, rinse and repeat.

So I decide to try and flash the custom rom and no success, now It won't start, just black screen, but I can Go into Odin mode and Recovery mode(CWM)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nazo:
So I did a fairly generic search trying to find out tips on storing batteries since I plan to get backup batteries for my phone, one of which will remain in storage for a while and I read that apparently under best charging practices it's actually considered to be high voltage for it to go to 4.1V and shouldn't go above 4.2V. Well, according to Android Assistant my battery charges up to around 4.33 to 4.34 or so (there seems to be some variance within that range.) Even allowing for the possibility that it's not 100% accurate this sounds like it's absolute torture on the battery. At the same time, it's also best to keep the battery charges short and small rather than letting it just sit and largely discharge frequently (and if I could help it I'd rather keep it plugged in and run as little from the battery as possible when I'm actually at home.)

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot. I was meaning to link to the original article and somehow didn't paste the link: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

So what I'm wondering is if there might be some way to trick it into deciding that a full battery charge is, say, 4.1V or even 4V? (From what I can tell by that article, 4V sounds like it would be pretty close to ideal since it's still more than 90% of the current full charge so still has a lot of capacity, but should considerably increase the battery's total lifetime. Even so, 4.1V would be considered "nominal voltage" and still a much better overall lifetime compared to the 4.33-4.34V range I'm seeing now. Heck, even 4.2V should be safer than that...) The phone is rooted and I plan to keep it that way -- I'm not in any rush to update to Jelly Bean or anything so won't be doing any updates or anything until I'm absolutely sure I can root once I do -- so even if it's something that requires root access it would be fine. I see at least one tool to force the system to recalibrate by basically just deleting the current calibration info, but that only really ultimately affects the level indicator and any software that relies on it, not the actual charging. I'm not sure if ANYTHING can really change the actual charging mechanism since it sounds like that is done more via hardware than software, but smartphones are a heck of a lot smarter than, say, a stand-alone battery charger, so perhaps it is still possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nazo:
*Bump* I guess. Hate to do it, but I'm really curious. It may be built into the battery, not the firmware or whatever now that I really think of it, but I'd like to at least ask and see rather than never knowing. I'm kind of concerned because I think one of my batteries is already getting worn out. I've gone out of my way to increase battery life -- even using apps like Greenify (kind of a smarter way of killing apps, it doesn't actually keep just killing stuff, but actually disables their autostarts along the way and it's smart enough to not kill whatever is currently active and to give them a few minutes before it does kill) and I've used another more advanced app to disable a lot of the autostarts of a lot of other apps (including a couple of system apps.) I also have SetCPU doing stuff like lowering the CPU nearly to the minimum (it struggles to even turn on the screen if it's at the minimum, so I believe I put the maximum on 512 or whatever) with the powersave and even the noop scheduler (it doesn't get any more power saving than that!) Data is off, though I have to keep wifi on (but again, minimal apps running so just about the only thing ever using WiFi at all is e-mail syncing since I need to not miss certain things) and GPS is off. I've tried to keep it from ever running terribly hot with only a minimal plastic (not silicone and I've eliminated the horrible Otterbox case I used to have that had so much insulation that the only heat escaping had to go out the glass which is already pretty high on the insulation scale) grip and I don't really do an excess amount of gaming (well, I'll admit to a ScummVM session or two, but for the most part I'd rather use my 3DS or something else) so while I won't claim the battery has never been hot, I think it has generally stayed at least very reasonable and far better than most, so I don't think temperature is responsible for the battery life decreasing. On the other hand, if I look at that information it kind of implies to me that the extreme overcharging probably reduces the lifetime of batteries that should make it to 1000+ charges down to around 250 or something ridiculous like that (well, I'm not doing the math on it, but you get the idea.)

Is there anything else to be done, or is it pretty much just all in the battery itself? I'm really kind of planning on making this phone last for years if I can (well, I am kind of wondering if I should consider something just a little bit smaller -- maybe 4.3" instead -- but at the same time I need something that can do some of the stuff this one can like the actually surprisingly good sound quality despite being the US model without the Wolfsen DAC, so I'm not really planning on getting rid of this phone any time soon. With its excellent hardware for the time and wonderful support from CyanogenMod, it should last for basically every bit as long as I want it to within reason.)
