[Galaxy S I9000 General] zuphus:
Hi there,

is there any way to get offline voice search working on jb ROMs? I run CM10 and there is no option to download any voice dictionary.

I red that on many other devices (some tablets) running CM10 this is possible....

Any help?

Sent from my GT-I9000

Hi,

I'm also interested in the answer.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerekZ10:
I want to purchase the Razr M but I can't find any information on it as far as durability goes. I don't want a phone I need to baby or put a huge outer-box on. I currently have a Droid X and I've dropped it hundreds of times, even in a toilet. It's had countless drinks spilled on it, underground sprinklers spray at it, and it's resided in water soaked pants and it still works. I have had to replace the digitizer twice and the LCD needs replacing but the phone is still going 3 years strong. Is the Droid Razr M durable and if I do manage to crack the screen, is it easily replaceable?

I've been eligible for a phone upgrade for a little over a year now but what has held me off is all new phones battery life and non swapable batteries. I feel absolutely helpless with a dead phone and I always carry a spare battery in my wallet. With the Razr M I won't be able to do that, so I need a godly battery. On a Friday I unplug my phone at 7AM and I need a phone that is going to still have a charge when I wake up Saturday morning in an obscure location. The Droid X does this fine with the 3700mAh battery I bought off eBay.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
I don't know if the battery will be enough for you (it's a big battery, but still very small compared to a 3700mAh battery), but the phone does have Gorilla Glass on the screen, an aluminum frame (or at least the front side, anyway), and a Kevlar back, so it's probably pretty durable. I've dropped my Droid Pro a few times, and the screen is still in near perfect condition, so the Gorilla Glass definitely helps. They say it's splash resistant, too, though I have no idea what that actually means.

It looks pretty easy to take apart, though. Some website posted a tear down video, and it's really simple if you follow that. The only thing that sucks is that the entire front is fused together as one piece, so if you were to crack the frame or the glass over the screen (not likely to do either, but still), you have no option to replace just those parts. You have to replace the frame, the glass, and the screen.

Sounds to me like you should buy the Maxx or Maxx HD. Not many phones (if any) besides those will get you to Saturday morning with much usage, especially on LTE.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidxethan:
Honestly the Razr M is suuper durable, so much that putting a case on it would almost be pointless. i have had mine for almost a month and its been dropped out of my lap onto the ground multiple times and it still looks brand new like out of the box. As far as battery goes it defiantly doesn't have 3700 in it but what it does have can defiantly get you thru the day easy with a little help from the smart actions that it comes stock with. i highly reccomend this phone to anyone and i sold my S3 once i got the Razr M :) Hopefully this helps a little bit

Phone idle seems lower than it ever was on ics.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk1151:
+1 on the statement about not needing a case. It adds bulk which isn't needed. I've yet to see a scratch on mine. I do however have a screen protector on it because I put it in my pocket and don't want keys to get the best of it. The protector has a number of scratches on it. Don't know if the Gorilla Glass will get scratched but why tempt fate.

As for battery, I'm still running ICS and getting 1-2 days easily on a charge. I may also decide to get an HD MAXX but primarily for HDMI out, larger internal storage, and the larger, hi-res screen, not for the battery life.

I would wager that even the RAZR HD would get great battery life, but the larger screen will be a big factor.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyelon:
Did it take a week or so to build up to that battery life? For me its getting better everyday definitely, but still not making it through the full day. I do use it somewhat heavily but nothing insane like hours of screen on time.

Just unboxed note 2 ..

I wana know how much time it takes to full charge from zero?

And this is my first use ..how much should I charge?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinashed:
In the mains about 2-3 hours. Double that via usb. But it lasts a hell of a long time in fairness.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whyboysfailincollege:
Should I charge for 6 to 8 hours
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceK33z:
Ah that's a coincidence.

A few days ago I measured the time it took per minute to charge with the included adapter (which is 2A); it charges 0,93% p/minute. So it takes 107,5 minutes to full charge.

With a 1A adapter it charges 0,54% p/minute (185,2 minutes for a full charge).

Modern li-ion batteries dont need that long first charge.. it was only needed with nimh batteries.

but it wont hurt. i allways make the first 3 charges long and allways try to get down the battery to 20% before i charge.

better to be safe then sorry:)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sygys:
Battery of my Note 2 take 3 to 4 hours to charge dont know how you guys manage it in 107 minutes! Tested the charger to be sure but i think its allright.

The battery is fine too, it lasts 8 hours of use without charging. and 4 to 5 hours of use time and 20 hours standby (24 hours total) with light use i get round 3 hours screen on time and 48 hours standby.

But charging it in 1.5 hours.... no way! It takes more then 8 hours to charge in an USB port
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koalauk:
usb port around 8 hours sounds normal to me as 5v 500ma, and mains charger is 2A and I get about 1.5 - 2 hours fully charged from dry
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sygys:
Normal charger takes 4 to 6 hours to charge. even when Phone is off. i tried using another 2Amp wall charger and replaced the battery. also reseted to factory default.

All with no luck. I dont know whats wrong bu i think its in the software. because when charged allot on USB or short charges when only 10% charging. the software/battery seems to fail to give the right amount of power. and the calibration is off. Sometimes when i have 20% left and reboot the Phone it all of a sudden has 30% or more.

Since the latest update this has become worse and worse.

The battery is easily lasting 24 hours with 4 to 6 hours screen on time. so i think there is no power draining going on.

I really think its an error in the note 2 software. i read allot about people having the same issue and need to charge their Phone for hours only to see its charged 50%.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallogeometraluca:
Hello everyboby...

Today a friend give me his tab 7 because he replaced it with a new 10.1 2

The p1000 have a little problem: the screen is psychedelic and all in purple color

I don't want to buy spare parts for nothing and i need to know if someone never had the same problem....

Purple color is always present, in the startup, during the bootanimation, in the recovery and even in download mode...

What i have to do to solve the problem? I must change the lcd panel?

I restore the rom from the rocery, i try all the cm9 setting but it's an hardware's problem

The rest is working perfectly...

Camera take fine photo and standard screenshot if i look him on a pc...

Very thanks!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ypsmav:
Hey, I'd first try to restock (using Odin and GB safe rom from the Overcome thread).

If it still have the problem it would imply a hardware problem.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbrenes:
Well that is my last step I have already tried 3 ROMs but since I get the purple effect on the Recovery I think this is a HW problem, still I'll give it a try with the STOCK Odin Image later today...

Samsung said it was a HW defect...

I'll let you know..

Update: Tab is back to stock and problem remains definitely a HW problem.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallogeometraluca:
In the morning i open the tab and try to disassemble the lcd panel... i found a plug that was placed in an uncorrect position!!!

Got an Infuse, that when I hold power button, nothing happens at all, no samsung logo even. Pluging it into computer does nothing, not even driver install. No download mode, no recovery. Bought a usb jig on amazon, that also did nothing. Have tried every usb port on my computer (have 6; 4 back, 2 top ports). Removed battery for 10 minutes put back in, nothing. Anybody got any ideas? Is it dead?

any history? different fully charged battery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] blscallions:
Mine, only owner,

Was working on a new recovery for jb and goofed somewhere. I think I may have damaged the bootloader trying something crazy, I think an installer I was working on damaged the boot image. Tried to install a recovery (cwm zip) I was working on and upon reboot the phone would not show anything, not even samsung logo. Tried different battery too. Still did nothing. I've seen that JTAG could probably save it, but I am unfamiliar with that process and don't want to risk more damage.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Sounds like you're not getting any power to the circuits at all.

If it's not a battery issue, you might be right about the boot loaders. It may be hard bricked.

I recalled Adam Outler made a lot of break through on unbricking devices. I think this may be the thread:

and locate the one you think may apply to you.

JTAG may also be your last hope if nothing else works..I think "mobiletech" something has been recommended by other users
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Phone:
Hello,

I've had my international Galaxy S3 for about 2 months. It used to freeze randomly when I tried to unlock it where the screen wouldn't turn on so I'd be able to type my password/swipe or unlock it in any way. Until I did a full reset to default factory which fixed it for 2 weeks before it froze again. AND thennn, the Polish Jelly Bean file was leaked and I tried it. Since then I haven't had a single freeze YET and I hoping I don't. I did notice however that the phone has become slower and sluggish since I put Jelly Bean on it. Like, Temple Run or Subway Surf, sometimes I stutter or smth, as if I'm playing on a PC and my frames per second drop to 0 and back then to full in no time which often times makes me lose or w/e. The app menu sometimes slows down while I'm swyping between its pages. The phone feels heavier for some reason. I don't know if that's because I have 1 to 4GB out of 16GB of free space or what.

Some other issues I had that I'm concerned about were, sometimes a tiny touch to the USB cable would disconnect it from my PC, but it would still stay recharging. Before Jelly Bean, I had to do the dark rituals to get my PC recognize that the phone was connected. The camera quality in doors is terrible and s***. I dunno if there is a fix for that or not, but I've read that the phone's camera was manufactured by two different companies and the firmware isn't the same on all phones. So is it possible to fix it through the firmware?

I don't wanna return the phone because I live in Egypt and Samsung's support is pretty terrible. The freezing issue is common here among Samsung phones and I have many friends and colleagues who returned their phones due to freezing, where the support team would keep it for 2 days at their headquarters and the phone wouldn't freeze, so they'd assume that it's fine. I've heard stories of countless tries to return it but in vain.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Phone:
Return it for?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Phone:
Bump again.

Returning it for hanging isn't an option. It didn't hang since I updated to Jelly Bean, but rather, it sometimes feels choppy or sluggish when I'm playing games or scrolling through the menus. Like my frames per second would drop for a second. Is that related to the Polish Jelly Bean I've downloaded? Is it a known issue? Should I somehow troubleshoot more before I jump into conclusions?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Phone:
I used downloaded the Swedish Jelly Bean when it got leaked later on. Works flawlessly. I still stutter from time to time, which can be fixed by rebooting the phone, again, it's much much better than how it was when I bought it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boo Droid:
??

Do you think Union Group would replace the phone for freezing issues? and if they would how long would it take to receive a new one ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Phone:
I heard that they'd take it to test it for maybe 2 days, and it wouldn't freeze when it's with them (or at least they'd claim so). So I doubt. My friend sent his phone like 6 times and it never froze when they tested it. Also, expect them to restore it to its factory defaults. I say, try the Swedish Jelly Bean, it doesn't void your warranty and it takes like 10 mins to get it ready on your phone. If it still freezes, you should consider returning it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boo Droid:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] arrrghhh:
Probably keyboard, but how can we tell? It is probably difficult to tell even with a visual inspection, whether the mobo or keys themselves are at fault....

If you're brave, you can try to pull it apart and see if anything is awry. Otherwise, you might have just bought a dud.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] wizardknight:
The buttons can be separated and the contacts cleaned. It might fix the issue, and is not too bad of a job. You will need some t-5 bits/screwdriver.

Alright I'll try it out! thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Guefaunteno:
I think I found the problem: It's the MOBO. Right above the G circuit there's a short, and the V being connected to it, therefore doesn't work.

Is there any way to fix a short circuit?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] wizardknight:
Um, remove what is shorting it? Repair broken path ways? Take it to a electronics repair shop perhaps...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
I think you should be able to do this with Polaris Office however it does not work very well. There are two other options, either you convert the document into a pdf and use a PDF annotator such as ezpdf or there is a new app called textmaker which allows you to mark up text like MS Word but the app is expensive although there is a free trial availableon their website at the following link:

I haven't found another office product that allows ink annotations either. I did install MobileNoter SE HD recently. Its an unofficial OneNote app for Android that has tons more functionality than the official OneNote app, including ink annotations that will be captured and synced back to OneNote on a PC. Here is a link to that, but FYI its $15 (but worth it if you are a heavy OneNoter).

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Nice. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jchammerpants:
Thanks for the link. I checked it out. The functionality looks good, but the implementation for me is a deal-breaker. From the description of the app:

" The documents you want to annotate and share are securely stored in your Soonr Personal account in the cloud so you must be connected to the internet to access them."

So you have to store your docs on their cloud server to annotate and access them, and there is no off-line caching of those docs. Sounds like the functionality is just a gimmick to get people using their cloud services.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
Not to be rude like our "VP"........ :D but you are in correct. You can offline cache either in office formats or the pdf(annotated format)

When you have a doc on your screen you can either back arrow to save it as annotated to the cloud account. or if while it is on the screen you can hit the upper rt corner menu and down load which will cache it. What i have noticed is the down load did not seem to work if you are just in the soonr menu and long press a file to download it that way without it on the screen open. For me it must be open on the screen and DL from upper rt menu to cache.

I DL'd this app this morning to try it so i have not played alot with it but this is what i know so far. Seems pretty good though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jchammerpants:
Many thanks for the further insights. If you do download/cache it, can you open it in the sonnr app without an active internet connection to truly work with it offline? Or is the downloaded version "read only," still requiring an active connection to their cloud to make further annotations on the cloud copy?

I love the idea of the app, except if I have to be tethered to their cloud to use it.

JC
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
yes it will work in their app, let you work on it and when you are done place it in a pending upload state until you are back on wifi. than it will update in the cloud. Still trying to work out everything- will take another look at it over the weekend.

So bottom-line you flash a ROM run it for a few days, see if works for you, if not move on to the next ROM.

I would ask you to read the OPs of each ROM and read thru the threads of each, is it a lot, yes but it is your investment; it is your device...
