Dude you either have a serious wake lock problem or you were streaming music that entire time.

No clue. Last few days it was fine 12 hours of use and like 50% battery. Today I did nothing different. No streaming music but a bit more texting.

Ever since reboot it is fine. What could have caused it to stay awake.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanyme:
I think all Android users faced some issues with battery status..

Ex. When the phone charged 80% if restart it the battery might decrease by 5% each time... while when it's less than 10% each time the battery decrease from 1-2% max ! ... that's really not reasonable

In addition, when i charge my phone 8 hour the battery would stay 17 hour.. while if i change it until it's got 100% charged "according to battery status" it wouldn't stay on more than 10 hours!!! Wipping battery and other solutions also didn't help by the way !!!!

Use smart actions battery saver mode whole day that is what I do and get about 16 hours of battery on medium usage.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beamer.e36:
I will try that
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sototallycarl:
I had a similar problem and never solved it. My battery typically lasts 32 hours new. After a few weeks it went to 16. Frustrated I let it "die" to find that it actually continued to run for 16 additional hours literally at 0%.

Unplugging the battery fixed it for that current charge cycle but upon recharging it went back to its old ways.

I eventually went through the trouble to purchase an OEM replacement and further open up my Razr M to replace. Things were great for another couple of weeks until the same exact problem happened again.

Frustrated I go back and forth between my Inc 4g and my Razr M depending on if I need a reliable battery read (traveling, etc). I like the Razr M so much I might just buy another and hope it doesn't crap out like this one, but then again there is probably a new season of Droid devices coming in a few months.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
have you tried one of those battery calibration apps? they require root though.

as for me, my battery yesterday showed 34% while in the system. but then when I booted in TWRP recovery, it said my battery was at 22%.

Hello people

Need a case for my shiney new S3!! I did have an S1 up to 2 days ago but it did not survive an encounter with a concrete car park! 2 months from the end of my contract!!! Anyways..

The forum has fried my brain with the number of different cases available / opinions / problems so I decided it might just be easier to ask! Sooooo.. what case do you have and would you recommend it? I want something that going to protect my phone (but not entomb it like an otterbox) and keep the phone looking smart, that means a BIG no no to all those crazy designs out there (Urban armor I'm talking to you). Just to make it a little more difficult I'm in the UK..!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Read all the reviews on Amazon as well. Besides the price, most people have never used or seen the case before so you're not dealing with Fanboys although I've become one since it's still the best all around case over my other 5 or 6 although I have a UAG on the way that may give it a run.....but even buying it used it was twice the price as the Acase when I purchased it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paging Dr B:
I also just purchased an Urban Armor Gear (UAG) case for my phone. It looks like it gives good protection with a cool design instead of some of those cases that look like a bloated whale. http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/samsung But I got mine through amazon. I'll post pics when it arrives.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
He doesnt want a Urban. Says its a big "no no" which i agree with.

Edit: On the case search. Try out tmart.com I should be receiving my case from them soon. Its cheap and has free shipping. Not sure about UK though. Great selection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paging Dr B:
HA! Yeah maybe I should have read his whole post. Good catch. ;)

OP I was looking at Incipio's cases. The incipio silicrylic cases look pretty sleek and like they give better protection than just a rubber sleeve.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zof9i6:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] farkkraf:
Thanks people!!

Im going to get the Acase as it looks nice, good protection like other cases and has a good price tag!! My partner is going to get an incipio silicrylic for hers as she likes the design more!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limerick_fr:
Hi all,

I have a stock S3 which has downloaded a 87.46 MB update though OTA.

But when rebooting for installation, it says that signature check has failed and if I confirm installation anyway, it is aborted shortly.

Then I tried to update through Kies (in fact I am not sure it is the same file as OTA has no particular name) and my S3 get stuck on the downloading page.

So the only way to get out of this, is to remove battery as advised by Kies after a long time.

I have also been advised to install the OTA downloaded file directly in recovery mode, but I can't find the file in /cache. The folder is empty.

Does anybody know what can be done ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Look on www.sammobile.com/firmware for your rom and flash it with Odin 3.04, See item 2 and 3 in my siganture. First shutdown Kies, also in windows task manager.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limerick_fr:
Thanks but I must confess that I am not able to find the 87.46 MB file which is downloaded through OTA.

How can to be sure to take the good file ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
No, look for the whole file on sammobile.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limerick_fr:
So it is really impossible to update first with this file ? :confused:

I would rather try first with this one, especially because I wouldn't like to reinstall everything right now.

And even if I take the whole file, I don't even know which belongs specially to my S3... :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
What you could try is a data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery, and try again. Hold volume up, menu botton an d power button to get into recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limerick_fr:
Will I loose anything doing this reset ? Do you mean data or factory reset ? It is the same ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kofiaa:
Woah woah, not so fast.

Are you rooted? If so, ota don't work when rooted. You need to get back to stock recovery not cwm.

If you are looking in the cache folder you are supposed to let the download finish, then delay the update taking action. Then You'll will find the update .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limerick_fr:
Yes I am rooted but I have been told that it was possible anyway.

I also tried to temporary unroot and aked if SuperSU could do it. Had no answer about it and the possibility to come back to root after updated.

It's exactly what I did but no file in /cache folder :silly:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limerick_fr:
Okay, now I have unrooted my phone with SuperSU, reboot and redownload again this 87.46 MB file.

Before installing it (choosing a 3 hours delay), I went to /cache with Explorer+ (AntTek doesn't let me go to that folder because I don't have permission anymore) and there is still any file inside.

So I try to install with the normal process and still have the signature check failed and the installation aborted.

I really don't know what's going on with this update. After at least 12 downloads, the file has always the same size, but I can't access to it...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Download the full file from sammobile.com / samfirmware.com and flash it through Odin as already advised.

There is absolutely no difference to flashing the OTA, only that OTA are smaller since they do not include the full firmware but only the differences to your old one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limerick_fr:
Yes, okay I agree.

But I don't know which file to download corresponds to that OTA update.

And most of all, I guess this OTA won't need me to re-install all my apps and setup (maybe I am wrong about it), and then wonder if it won't be the case if I update and install the full ROM (which I confirm, I don't know which it is...).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hangman_:
But I'm a bit (really) confused about a lot of things regarding this process. I've been reading for a week now and barely getting anywhere.

So first, a little history.

I'm running a stock vibrant, Froyo.UVKB5, 2.6.32.9 kernel, never been rooted.

Now, one of the main reasons for my upgrade is the loss of wifi connectivity. For some reason I can no longer connect to most ISP's or WIFI hotspots, especially my own.

Now, here's the kicker; I don't have a data package on my service so I am dependent on wifi only. Now that I can't get wifi, I'm not sure if I can get all the files I need to do this upgrade. I'm hoping this upgrade will reconnect me to wifi.

Reading through the Wiki for rooting (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959), it says I am to use Superuser AND binary, is this correct?

I've found a boatload of Superuser files one the ClockworkMod ROM Manager website, ... which one do I use, there's no explanation?

And I understand I need to install SuperSU AFTER I have it rooted.?.

Regarding an updated OS, from the questions and remarks on this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1900763), I need both a kernel AND a rom? But other threads I've read say the kernel is in the ROM. Does this mean that CyanogenMod's CM7.2.0 is kernel only and doesn't get you anywhere?

Also from this thread, suggestions were made to upgrade to one kernel, then a rom, then to another kernel and rom, and finally to the kernel and rom the user wants. Why is this necessary?

I have many more questions but they branch off depending on answers to these fundamental questions here.

So, if there's anyone with enough patience and willing to hold my hand through this process, I would greatly appreciate it.

And I need to go cancel my monthly paid warranty fee on this old phone too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
ROMs typically include a kernel in their update zip. CyanogenMod is a ROM and as such includes our own kernel when you install it. Be aware of the 911 issues before upgrading your os to a custom rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
To install Clockworkmod, if you are using Android 2.2 Froyo, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833423

Run the "3e_recovery_installer" from your computer with the phone connected and USB debugging mode enabled. Then boot into stock recovery (Hold VOL+ and VOL- and POWER with the phone off, release when you see the logo) and flash the "update.zip" twice. It will boot into a green CWM that temporarily exist until you turn off the phone, beware that this temp CWM only let you flash zips from your Vibrant internal storage, it will not recognize your microSD.

Note: If you are using Eclair 2.1, you should be able flash the update.zip directly without the "3e recovery installer".

You can either flash root from CWM, or download a rom like SlimBean and flash it directly. When you flash a custom rom, it will install a newer version of CWM first (because the older version of CWM will not be able to flash the rom) and the phone will reboot. Take off the battery and put it back, boot into recovery again to see the new version of CWM, then you can install the custom rom again fully this time. Generally you should do a "wipe data and cache" before installing a rom, but sometimes, you might also need to go to "mount and storage" and format the /system folder before you can flash a new rom successfully. This can help avoid system files from your old Android installation to exist and merge with the new rom installation. However, the /system folder is where most of the OS important files are locate so without it the phone won't boot, so you need to have a custom rom in the phone (or microSD) to flash after you format it.

That should pretty much cover most of it. If you ever run into problems you can always use ODIN to recover the phone to factory stock. In fact, if you want to stay with stock and just want your WiFi to get fixed, its probably better to simply do an ODIN recovery (or a factory reset) first, before looking at custom roms.

Hi guys, :cowboy:

I was trying to backup CM10 09/27 version when suddenly my phone went in a bootloop which I wasn't able to break (even unplugging the battery).

I had to start all over with Odin CSA+Modem+phone stuff (probably I'm a dumb ass).

This leads me to the question, is it possible to create a .tar file to Odin the phone with the last configuration or backup? The nandoid backup was useless to solve my initial problem.

I could be wrong but I don't think the standard gapps going around supports that sync. There is a thread over at Rootz by Formula84 that has a more up-to-date version of gapps that includes what I believe you're looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bwarner479:
He has an 8/31 and a 9/28 and there are 2 versions of each. One has picasa sync but overrides the ROM's extra camera features (burst, etc) and the other version has the camera features but no sync. I think so far picsync and cam features are mutually exclusive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
There's been a problem with gallery sync, so there are 2 gapps versions around. One has gallery sync, one does not. You have to flash the other one.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NukeSbane:
I have been having various problems with the GS3 and am currently on my second replacement. Here's a breakdown of the issues.

Phone 1 (Original, new phone from AT&T): Overheating: Regularly getting up to 110-112 degrees in air conditioned rooms, especially when web surfing.

Lagging: Texting app was choppy and sometimes very laggy, especially when receiving texts. There was no consistency in the speed, it varied nearly ever action. Sometimes it was fast, sometimes mediocre, and sometimes annoying slow. I noticed it most when navigating in the texting app (GO SMS Pro seems to mitigate the problem).

Phone 2 (Replacement 1): Power button: Begins off spongy and the click isn't very defined, I ignore it though, and it begins to lose sponginess and becomes really loose. Now it rocks back and forth like a seesaw and you have to hit very near or right in the middle of the button to get it to click.

Lagging: Texting app seemed marginally better at first, but began to lag like the other one, especially when receiving texts. Same problems in consistency, although this time I can't use the stock app. It lags badly and freezes up constantly. Not sure if the old one was like that after awhile as I didn't use the stock app for long.

Reception: I'll have 2-3 bars and the call will still be breaking up. Person on the other end has full reception.

Phone 3 (Replacement 2): Haven't switched over yet but the power button rocks like a seesaw as well. Doesn't seem to be quite as bad as phone 2, no sponginess and better clicking on each side of the middle.

Has anyone else experienced these issues? Is this normal for the power button? Will Jelly Bean fix performance issues? I'm not sure if I'm expecting too much of the build quality and UI performance, or whether I'm incredibly unlucky, but this is becoming quite intolerable. Also it's very important to me that my phone lasts at least 2 years so I can resell before upgrading, and this phone is seeming really cheap.

Anyways, any advice or information would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Things I've done attempting to fix lag and performance issues:

Cleared memory (numerous times)

Turned off S-Voice

Turned off transition animations

Handcent and GO SMS Pro

Quandrant (usually gives me about 4.5-4.6k)

Power Saver is off

Edit: My brother upgraded to the GS3 recently and the home button would sometimes stick upon clicking, and occasionally it would require wiggling to pop it back out. He had to have his device replaced, and so far hasn't had any issues with it (although he doesn't use his like I do, so he likely wouldn't notice). Just another thing to make me think these phones are really cheap and will have more problems in the future.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g2tegg:
Your picky. There I said now don't get defensive lol. You have every right to be considering the caliber of phone your dealing with.

I have none of the above issues, but then again I'm rooted and running cm10. I would suggest removing handcent though. I have found it to slow down my other phones quite a lot. If your after the message pop up box install SMS Popup and keep the stock messaging app.

Keep an eye on how many texts are stored on the phone. If you textaholic you might want to consider you limit to 200 per contact. Just to keep things clean.

Hope that helps!
