[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consolation:
You should be able to get an Atrix for around 150$ US iirc. Excellent phone, but, there's no guarantee of a fully working ICS Rom.

BUT, you can get the lapdock for around 60$, and that makes the phone/dock combo awesome value.

If you want to get stuck to Gingerbread for eternity, buy it.

If you want newer version of Android, buy from another manufacturer. :good:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathan96:
I have the xperia U which is 10x smoother than my atrix (which i sold for 333$ !!!!!) and ICS rollout started today for xpu ! :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottharris4:
I just bought it and love it. Would having ICS or Jelly Bean be desirable? Yes. But 98% of the apps I would want on my phone are available for gingerbread too. If you really want ICS or JB, you can always root it and flash a custom ROM. I tried to do that, it didn't work out well for me but seems to work well for plenty of others.

Hi everyone,

I found a way to improve battery life of our phone. We just charge our phone with usb cable in usb mass-storage mode.

Let it full charge and enjoy strongly battery life. It worked for me and after that you didnt need to charge with cable again just do normal charge with adapter.

Just tested with my phone CM10 A2. Battery drain about 2%(6hrs didnt do anything).

Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ave666:
Try reboot your phone and see your battery drain or not
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Lol, no difference at all, you probably just did enough cycles for it to adjust, battery life depends on your usage really.. and this is not a 'fix'.

@Ave666, rebooting will always take your battery down, it will slowly ramp to the correct value again after a few minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
Hello all,

There is a drop of true. According to battery's chemistry, it's better to charge with lower amperage. Usual USB port provides 500mAh, ordinary charger 750 to 1000mAh.

Of course, charging via usb takes longer, but battery packs a little more voltage. If you have some app, witch checks battery voltage, you can check it. Read more

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Either way, won't 'magically' make a difference from the first charge, that is used to preserve the battery, and not make it magically last longer.. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
So you mean to say lower mA battery charger is good for battery health?? I have observed that 1A battery quickly charges battery but also rises temperature of phone as well as battery drian is little bit higher.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Taraen:
I don't think that it makes a real difference. Charging our battery (1650 mAh) with a normal charger at 1A current is fine as it's charing with 0.6C. The charger automatically stops charging when the voltage of your Li-Ion cells have reached the wanted voltage AND the current has gone low (about 5% or a bit less; depends on charger). Much more important is that you don't stress your battery too much, so that the capacity doesn't decease that fast.

Never deep discharge Li-Ion batteries. This kills your battery (Should not happen as phone automatically turns off, but then don't try to turn it on again)

Avoid full full charges. Sounds silly, but voltage related stress is lower which is good for your battery health.

(Thats the reason, why I store my Li-Po batteries for my RC helicopter at 40%-50% charge at the end of summer)

Remember: Bad battery health = low capacity = poor battery life = quickly discharged phone

Charge often to keep your battery at a medium charge level, which is best for your batteries.

Li-Ion batteries dont know the "memory effect". Partly charging and discharging is no harm.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
Vishal, mainly, yes. I'm charging usually via USB.

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Technically, the slower the charge the better it is, but the difference is very, very very unnoticeable..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Taraen:
Regards that "unnoticable": Are you saying that in general as you did for the fact before? I'm asking because charge currents greater than 0.85-1C with standard Li-Ion batteries cause a noticable effect.

I have tested some Li-Po batteries with different charge currents, as they where cheaper than the ones I am using for my helicopters. The one that I have charged with 0.75C behaved quite fine, while the one with 1.25 C didn't like that charge currents very much.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pwner5889:
Question, does anybody know what exactly causes the SSODs in the JB ROMS? Just curious. I've had them happen in the MOST UNWANTED times. Like, I'll be recording a video. Then suddenly the phone will freeze, then either reboot or shut off. I would then have to take the battery out and put it back in. To turn the phone back on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Well, not necessarily. First thing is find out what is causing them. Second, will be what can be done with said cause to fix it, without breaking anything. Though, once the cause is revealed, im sure it wont take to long to fix the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Giomv21:
note to the op don't remove the battery, you can damage your phone.. just hold the power button, it will restart..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Yea I think the two of you are saying the same thing.. Its basically recognize issue and these smart developers for android will squash the bug. The thing that gets me is the question. Like in typing it do you really think that as long as the bug has been out that if someone knew what to do it would not of been done? Also if you check the changelogs you see countless kernel fixes that shows they are trying everything. What needed to be done in this case is trying to understand the changelogs and commits so you better educate yourself on Android
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sdavidson0316:
The biggest annoyance for anyone wanting to mess with less-than-stable ROMs is that you really can't tell what's going to cause it. As with any other software/OS/whatever it is completely dependant on what you have done to the phone. The minute you begin adding apps or configuring your phone to anything other than the exact way it comes, you are causing your own unique set of test criteria.

Obviously there are gray areas in all of this, and customizations can often even assist in the understanding of what causes failures, but the bottom line is that it's up to you just as much as it is up to the stability of the ROM.

I have simple needs, and one of them is Facebook. Call it an addiction but I would like to be able to access my account whenever I please.

Lately I cannot load Facebook (pic very much related). It won't work on Chrome or the default browser. Friendcaster loads partially but is flakey on most.

Anyone else ever had this problem, or know how to fix it.

It works fine on computers in my house. But not on my phone with wifi or 3G

I'm starting to get the shakes guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
You just answered your own question. Depending on your signal (or internet speed), facebook does or doesn't work. Facebook works fine for me on both WiFi and 4G.

Check your internet provider and see what's going on with your WiFi. Either that or just reset your router and try again.

As for 3G, unless you're rocking past 800kbps, then it won't work well.

Last choice, go wipe data in the Facebook app.

[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
My mom's nook has this strange sort of discoloration that seems to line up roughly with the edge of the pocket on the inside of her case. It's sort of like if you press on a regular LCD screen, you'll see a white patch. But this is sorta permanent and in a line up and down for over half of her screen.

Any one have any suggestions on this? Could she have just had too much stuff in that pocket for too long and permanently messed up the screen underneath the glass? Or would this be something that might correct itself over time? It's well past warranty unfortunately...

[Motorola Photon 4G] saiyaneye:
Okay, I tried to flash the CM10 Rom on my girlfriend's Electrify that's flashed to cricKet (been flashed for a few months) last night. And it would not flash the ROM. I am rooted, I have the bootloader unlocked. CWM installed also. VERSION: will edit when i can boot

She was running CM7 which was very buggy, random reboot issues. So I decided I was going to flash the CM10 Unofficial mod, I tried to install like four or five times. Ran the "Aroma Prep.zip", then tselected install zip from SD. It kept showing the CM7 loading screen and kept bootlooping forever. So I kept pulling the battery trying to reinstall thinking I did something wrong.

NOW HER BATTERY IS DEAD!

I can't turn on the phone, tomorrow morning I am going to try to SBF the stock rom, but don't I need to be able to boot the phone in order to do so? What can I do, my girlfriend isn't very happy.

Okay, as I was typing this, it randomly booted...I can randomly get it to boot. I think the SBF would work I am scared to move to my Windows PC and try to use RSD Lite because it will take another 20-40 min to boot the f#*^@^* phone.

PLEASE HELP!

Does it charge in Clockwork Mod? Guess I will find out.:silly::eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bock Abrams:
I thought that I broke my phone too my first time flashing CM9, Leave it on the charger overnight, and give it another shot in the morning. When I was flashing the first time I didn't have a charger, and it died on my half way through the third attempt at installing, leaving it just as un responsive as yours

My issue was just a user error, double check your files of your rom, re download them if necessary, and go over the instructions with a fine tooth comb.

It's pretty hard to brick these things, and seeing how you were still able to get to recovery is a good sign that it can be fixed.

Worst case, you'll have to start from scratch trying to flash it back to cricket once you get the rom situated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] saiyaneye:
Good to hear!

Well good news as of now, I put it on the charger and am not flashing the stock SBF.

I will let you know how that goes. I don't know why I was having trouble with the flash though. I had NO TROUBLE WHAT-SO-EVER when I flashed CM7 about two or three months ago. Really confusing why it wouldn't stick and kept bootlooping at the CM7 screen when it said installation complete.

So I am out of panic mode, and I think/hope my girlfriend will be after the SBF is done flashing!:good:

Agreed, but multiple users have reported this. I'm rather curious what's going on with those play store devices. It's hard to believe Google deliberately removed a crucial security feature.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] boorce.com:
Hello everybody,

Since 01/2012, here in france, we have a new mobile phone operator : FreeMobile.

It has his own network, but for uncovered area, FreeMobile has a contract with Orange.

So FreeMobile users switchs from FreeM Network to Orange network quite regulary (national roaming)...

It looks like on most ROMs (a last customs...) we have lost of connexions (no more data network, but calling works...) ! The only solution is to reboot the phone.

After some tests, i've choosen a Milestone2 radio parameters that seems to work best (fewer lost of connexions) :

It's the Android 2.2.2 Froyo radio from the standard blur ROM (version 2.4.24 of Moto's ROM).

Extract CG45 from the SBF, repack, flash with RSD. (I've done the work for you ;) but I've no responsability in burning/bricked phones, lost of girl/boyfriend, end of the world, etc.)

Then with Milestone2 baseband, switch to Europe 2.2.2 baseband (UK/DE).

With the 2nd version of MS2 Baseband, flashing CG45 seems optional (as you can also switch radio).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Hi all,

As some of you may have tried MIUI JB by UFO and may have noticed that it is lagging big time on our MS2, so a thought crossed my mind to make it "slimmer" in order to make it run a little bit smoother on our device.

I have also added poll to help me decide whether it is worth an effort to try to do something like this.

I did some research and from what I understood this can be done by removing some "uncessary" apps and "less frequently used" languages from framework-res.apk, if anything else that can be done to accomplish the goal, please, let me know.

So here is my list so far

I will be updating the list based on user inputs.

Languages to keep:

English

Spanish

Porteguese

Russian

French

German

Chinese

Apps to remove

You tell me :)

Thank you all in advance.

Update 10/10:

- First two attempts failed to boot. Let's try one more time...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] lampwarez:
Sorry for the noob question... can the framework-res.apk be prepared in different versions for post install? Would it save some extra space?

I.E. one pre-installed in english and others, each one with one or two languages, to overwrite - so each user choose framework-res with your language...

I really don't know if is a good idea, or how much work it will spend.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Theoretically it should be possible but it has to be tested, honestly i dont really know if excluding languages will make it smoother, and on the other hand, framework-res.apk will need to be recompiled for every language which takes time and i will have to know for which language i am compiling.

I think at the moment Wajk's MIUI rom has 40 something languages, reducing it to 8-10 can make a difference.

I will see which way i am gonna take it...i will test the rom before posting anyway...so expect delays and failed attempts.

So, on a whim I decided to download and peruse the Update1 ICS sources for the T989. This turned out to be interesting because it seems there are more things in the Update1 sources for the APEX40 architecture than there were in the first T989 ICS sources. There's stuff in there that I had to hack into the original sources (poorly, cuz it didn't work)...

Any other devs take a look at this and try hacking a build out of it?

I might give it a run this weekend. At the very least it's a sign that there's been progress... and it would seem that the samsung devs are also basing the both devices on the same codebase.

That's also a good sign that the JB release will have some support for us as well. The biggest issue would be the cam drivers...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
I'll take a look at it and see if the required drivers are in the kernel. If they are, I think the 989 kernel may boot with the correct kernel settings.
