I recently bought a Maxx and was pissed that it didn't have the favorite contacts widget. That's why I decided to create my own, and try to follow Motorola's functionality as much as possible :)

Check it out on the Play Store and let me know what you think. I can't post link so go to the play store home page and append this (/store/apps/details?id=com.cpsolutions.contacts)

just not touching it until get my new sim) it's ok

hi all!

finally i've got a problem after flashing cm10a1, to be honest after trying to flash ivendor's camera patch on it

so i've got my phone not working

simple switch on, recovery and DL mode are not working while unplugged

when plugged into wall charger the screen light up for several seconds, the battery icon appears and then phone switches off.. and this show is repeated.

normal and recovery modes are unavailable but DL mode can be reached. i plan to charge it for an hour and then try odin flashing yes?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
You have no choice but to flash stock rom

Then reflash cwm. Cm10 and gapps

But I find cm10 really laggy

I restored it back to cm9 already
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
last time that's happened to me, they change the motherboard (I'm lucky that under the warranty). I already tried flash stock rom with odin 5 times, but no luck. If flashing with odin didn't resurrect your phone, I recommended you to bring your phone to samsung service center, tell to them you encounter a problem when updating software via kies, if you lucky enough they will change your motherboard for free. goodluck!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dimaka1256:
loading DL mode when attached to usb..

chose everything, hit start...

the phone reboots and writes something like "rimware upgrade encountered an issue. Pleas select recovery mode in Kies and try again."

but after this it connects to odin!

i press start once again and it starts flashing.. and gets this..

but nothing changes, disconnected phone is dead, connected to usb/wall enters DL mode

planning a trip to service center...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dimaka1256:
hell yeah!!!!

took the battery out and took some beer from the fridge)

after drinking it put the battery in and loaded the DL mode

flashing with Odin succeeded!

just got stock 2.3 loaded, going to fridge for another beer)

rooting-flashing cwm-restoring cm9 backup to go)

thx for support guys!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
Good news mate :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dimaka1256:
you will be laughing, but i got it again..

i just put my sim card in..

and got the same thing again..

at least it now normally flashes via Odin..

maybe try to replace my sim?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
Maybe, I dont really sure and know about that, I never experience that
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] imadiu:
Did you just un-bricked a phone? I mean i had that issue once too and got it sent back to the service centre. Congrats dude.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dimaka1256:
now recovered cm9 from backups

holding my sim in old nokia for calls)

going to carrier's office 2morrow for a free new sim card)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] wong.izzat:
Holy ****! I though you phone had bricked for good. Lucky you managed come out of it. Hope you can exchange with the new sim and nothing bad happen.

Note; I hope you will keep on using Galaxy W
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dimaka1256:
dunno how did it happen, but now it's ok, to be consistent i'll wait for a new sim, i have an old nokia for calls) and feeling myself a lucky bastard :P

sure i'll continue using my phone, i'm addicted to it :) a friend of mine has bought ace2 and i just hate it's pseudo-chromed stripe arount the front(the same as ace1)

now we even have alpha of JB and our custom CM10 on 512 ram will be better than sammy's JB on 768)) and it's a question of time when they get it.. especially in ukraine lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risfa123:
Hello,

I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 factory unlocked with installed Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (CyanogenMod 10) and no imei and baseband.

I tried everything to fix the issue, but nothing worked. I searched this forum and some user said that I should use jtag to wtie correct efs folder and z3x or sl-box to repair imei etc.

Is there any other way to repair corrupted efs and imei, because I don't have those tools and I don't have any money to spend on local mobile service.

Any help is appreciated. :)

have you ever flashed Siyah kernel before?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
No, Siyah kernel won't cause this, but Siyah kernel always take a backup of the efs partition on your Sdcard every time you flash it.

I tried this : GSII_repair , Galaxy S unlock , efs pro tool on computer , flashed different modems (5-6 times) , flashed to stock rom 2.3.3 and trying to connect to kies on computer ( to update to ics) but it's just connecting (that was the most annoying thing :@) , "repair imei in 9 steps" post etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
You have to try this again, and it has to be successful (you need to use Kies to update to ICS) before i can suggest any other thing.

You apparently opened two threads to solve the same problem. This is not good enough and it's against forum rules.

So which thread do you want to stick with? Your ICS 4.0.4 one or this one? So that I'll know which one to report
[General Questions and Answers] Yunzip:
Which kernel is best for my Sony Ericsson Live with walkman with Real ics v6? The developer recommends MESA kernel and that is what i have. But I have found some lug and bugs here and there.(Slow, too slow, booting, lug in music player...). I have heard about KernelPanic. Is it better?:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Honestly? Try it and find out for yourself. The Dev will have recommended MESA for a reason - maybe it is more stable. It might be that running KernelPanic will be quicker, but crashes once a day - you will only find out by trying it yourself.

So I went on rooting AT&T SG S III using Toolkit 5.0 from XDA. After running Odin rooting, my phone was unresponsive to the next step. I then unplugged the phone and redid. So now

- cannot go to downloading mode; when hold Volume Up+Home+Power, it vibrates, shows Samsung icon and then black-out

- hold power button and it'll be the same

- computer doesn't recognize the phone whatsoever

So was phone hardbicked? Is there anything I can try?

Had the phone not even a week and now this happened :(

my quad core s3 is a no-contract phone . uses pre-paid card. so there is no 3g/4g. i get around 4 hours screen on time with power saving mode on with juice defender on. i find that gaming time in this phone is awful. in the iphone 4, i get 5 hours 3d gaming time. now i dont even get 4 hours 2d gaming time! is this normal with the s3? but stll this is a fantastic phone. without gaming i get 6 hours screen on time. just would like to know if you get the same with gaming. iphone 5 seems to have a really good battery with 8h screen on time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabaramo:
Make sure you disable wcdma in network settings.... your phone probably searching for a 3g signal and failing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Get rid of juice defender and turn off power save mode.

Also 8 hours screen on time for ip5 is questionable, these are the same people that said 8 hours 3g use and 10 hours LTE. As everyone knows, LTE uses more power than 3g.

Their numbers are lies/exaggerated.

If you want the iPhone so badly then you know what you need to do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C56X:
I too have Power Saving Mode turned on, and manually adjust the brightness (it's always set to the lowest setting).

I have WiFi turned on the entire time that I'm home, and 3G when I'm out.

Auto Sync is on the entire time, because I want to be able to know when I get an incoming email.

That's pretty much it.

I am not able to come close to 4 hours of screen time, before my battery reaches 5-10%. Cell Standby accounts for the most battery usage.

Any pointers/tips?

P.S. Phone not rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
Do you have Viber? If yes there is a bug in the latest update that's keeping the proximity sensor on and draining the battery. 4 hours screen on time with battery save mode is really bad. There's probably some app draining the battery.

Ps. Ip5 battery life is a lie as usual, people who have it and actually use it say battery is actually quite bad. Also on the ios stats you don't have 'screen on' time report, but 'usage' time that is a lot more stuff than just screen on time. People who say the have 8 hours are probably just reading the usage time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C56X:
Yep; I do use Viber. I think you're right. Ever since I got the latest Viber update, the battery seems to die off sooner.

Should I uninstall and check?

How can I check what rogue app is eating into the battery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prajju123:
Well. i hate the iphone 5! no i dont have viber. juice defender shows me battery improved by 1.8x. i have auto sync off and power save on. i have disabled mobile data. and i realised i am just expecting too much! i was surfing the stock browser on wifi for 45 min and my phone went from 39% to 34%. guess thats okay.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C56X:
Viber just fixed the proximity sensor issue; hope this resolves the battery drain issue.

BTW, what is the normal hourly battery drain percentage?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
You can install an app called 'betterbatterystats' (very counterintuitive name!) to see what exactly is eating your battery, it takes a while to figure out how it works but it is very usefull!

Google location services in maps and Google now (if you are on jelly bean) drain quite a bit of battery and basically anything running on the background. Obviously you just deactivate what you don't need!

Three days ago, I flashed stock ICS (with wipe). I wanted to test the battery life.

Screen On time was a little under 4 hours.

I spent just a little over 2 hours on the phone.

Wifi was on/off intermittently.

Around 15 minutes of gaming.

The phone lasted 1 day and 20 hours.

That, in my opinion, is really, really good.

I switch on power saving mode when the battery drops below 30% and my brightness is set on auto and I'm connected to a 2g network. No gaming. I generally browse the Web for an hours , listen to music for a few minutes and then read on the Adobe Reader.

Well Titanium backup backups the entire app ( the apk itself AND all the corresponding data) and it displays the true size of the app and its components(regardless of its location-internal/external). Android will only display the size of the part of the app that is stored on internal storage and not on the SD card(external storage). So both methods are true it just depends on what are you looking for :D
