[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drifterrolly:
i just bought an ssg2 which was apparently unlocked. trying to root it through odin but it doesnt do anything. as soon as i click start all it does is nothing. it is running stock gingerbread.

any input dudes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Meelocheck:
Phone recognized by the PC? Correct drivers installed on the PC? Have you followed the steps properly?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bluntified:
You need to flash a custom recovery first, something like Clockwork Recovery or TWRP (I think that's right?), and flash a root binary through that, in your case it would be a file called 'su-3.0.5' (that's for gingerbread).

There are tons of guides here on how to install a custom boot recovery and how to root, find one that you understand and follow it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C0qRouge:
Hi there!

I opened up this thread to discuss the pros and contras of making up some bad press for Samsung on the s3 and, this is very important, to get clear about what they clearly did wrong with this community.

This isn't to be about what you may wish but what would really make sense and isn't their.

So let me go into detail about my knowledge that forced me to open this thread (correct me if I'm wrong, please!!)

- there should have be a very huge step in performance and ui response from ICS to JB on the s3 like happed on nexus

- also their are quiet a few things missing to bring project butter online on CM10:

my thoughts on this (fell free to comment that): My theory is, that Samsung was lazy to implement PB into their ROMs and because of this there is simply some lag of documentation because it is simply missing. So IF WE could show that there is no improvement on the official roms which should have come with PB, it could force Samsung to finally bring PB online. From that point it would be no big thing for Samsung to give us the missing documentation and sources.

As I wrote above to do this we need some hard facts. And this facts must be as simple as possible that also NONDEVs would understand it.

I heard some rumors about an video which show exactly that. That would be nice!!

Beside that every legit evidence is appreciated!!

AFTER ALL:

Some person, I could to that (did that before with origin), would set up a facebook-site which shows this whole evidence. After that all the only thing we would have to do is to get as much likes as possible and confront Samsung with that.

What do you think??

PS: As you may have noticed I'm not an english native :D ... so please if we do this at least get the language right! :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C0qRouge:
I searched for project butter! for me it wasn't clear, still not is, that your thread is about the same reason! Also, as you may already have noticed, there are some big differences with this two threads...

I'm not about having my own thread but I also wanna make sure that my goal here is clear. A site to like will give the community a big number! This is way more impressive as to write down support tickets as suggested in the other thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefankorun:
There is only one 'official' test JB release so if you are not from Poland I don't think you can talk about JB on the s3 with Samsung. Also there is already ongoing initiative to get Exynos documentation and this can put any progress in risk as we are starting to spam for every thing that bothers us.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatoes8:
It's all in your head basically.

ICS to JB stock is not the same as ICS+Touchwiz to JB+touchwiz. For example, If Samsung didn't make any changes to the Touhwiz UX, then it could easily be touchwiz slowing JB down and not Samsung not incorporating it.

In fact, since project butter is in the JB framework, it would actually cost more money and take more time for their software engineers to disable it or create an ICS/JB hybrid. Like what would they do exactly? lock at 50fps instead of 60fps? Double buffer instead of triple buffer? Why would they possibly do that? If they did that then they might as well not use JB at all.

So moral of the story. YOU BE TRIPPING and should just get a Nexus device.

It honestly sounds like people do not like how many animations Touchwiz has and want to blame something so they blame Samsung for not incorporating project butter when there is no reason why they wouldn't.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
?? OP - there is no official JB release for you to moan about just yet.

My polish release version is running fine.

I have a nexus S running official JB...believe me it flies on our new SGS3 in comparison.

I think you need something more important to start a major campaign about...I'm convinced Snicker bars don't contain as many nuts as they used to for example

Typical on xda forums, satirical and cynical answers when you could give normal ones. I am not surprised that people from another forums do not like to come to this one.

Regarding the op post, I have not yet installed the official jelly bean rom but I've been reading people saying that it really seems like there is no improving reading smoothness when comparing ics and jellybean and they do blame touchwiz. If that's true I have to agree with the op even though I do not believe samsung will care about our demands.

So in the past week or so I've been getting this notification that I'm running out space in my tablet...except all of my videos, pics and music are on a micro sd. Tallied up all of my apps and have maybe around a gig of space used up according to what they use under app dev. This is quite honestly pi$$ing me off tremendously because I can't figure this out at all. I did fix permissions and wiped dalvik to no avail. Btw I'm rooted running AR HD 3.4.1. I just can't figure out how 13 gigs is being used up and why you can't move whatever is using this massive amount of space to the micro sd???
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
Did you look in /data/logs ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texazranger09:
What should I be looking for? The chive had an abundance of cached photos, got rod of them, fed up a few hundred megs... not gigs, it was probably the only app that i had that would have made a significant difference
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fauxsoul:
Google play music nearly filled my tablet, and it wouldn't say what was using up the space.

I just flashed to stock and then realized it must have been google play music.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
There can be a number of things causing it to run out of space. The most common nowadays is filling up system/app with updated youtube/google apps which are far larger than the originals. This is because it keeps the version that came with it + the updated version. Installing a newer version of ggapps should fix it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
to make it easier on yourself instead of guessing and searching through folders with some weak browser app. use something like elixr2 or one of my favs Quick System info PRO. this makes looking things up fast and easy without having to terminal everything all the time. lots of options and gives even more info than what the pics show.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterDecker:
One other thing to keep in mind.

I used to have my tf101 make a nightly back up of the system using Titanium Backup. Forgetting about that, it chewed up space on my tab within a couple weeks. I finally figured out that it wasn't apps eating up my space but the back ups. So I limited the number of back ups to keep, and deleted the rest. POOF those pesky and pissy notifications went away and I have not had an issue of that since.
[Motorola Droid X2] tatumjef:
Hey guys Ive been running A1 since released with a few problems here and there but nothing to serious until this morning.

My phone died over night and when I turned it on it hangs at the Motorola logo. So i pulled the battery and held down the power while it turned on and bam it turns on.

It says charging (5%) and wont charge. Turns off about a minute of it being on. Ill pull battery do that monkey business all over again and the phone will turn on saying Charged. Bam turns off about a minute in.

Been an on going process all day trying to get it to take charge.

Is it safe to sbf with that low of a battery life? or Is there some trick that im missing to get this phone to charge again.

So wrapped up: Phone wont charge off because it hangs at M logo, and wont charge on because it turns itself off about a minute into being on
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
It seems a lot of people dont charge their phone at night. I find that odd. lol.

Anyway, Alpha 1 had instructions in the OP that said if your battery died, you had to plug it in and hold the power button until your phone booted up, then it will start charging once it does. This had to do with the hijack.zip alpha 1 came with.
[Motorola Droid X2] tatumjef:
Yea my phone does that but will just go off about a minute into it and wont let it charge.

**Well after a full day of doing this over and over again my phone finally has 10% so maybe its past this weird issue
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well if the percentage is going up, I guess just keep trying until it has enough battery to hold its own.

And by the way, doing an SBF with a low battery is not good. I dont even think it will let you.

Even it is out for south Korea galaxy note, the device isn't the same as N7000 since it uses a snapdragon as it is a lte version, and I think it isn't the even with the US Version, so don't even think to flash it if you, found any. Just wait I don't understand people atm lrt Rom is smooth and battery drain got fixed, why do you even want it, our device will struggle with some of the futures.

I have done search after search, and I have found nothing.

Here is the problem, I bought a MID 097Q1 tablet, that runs ICS, and now when I shut it down, and reboot, it will basically reset to factory settings on it's own.

Has anyone any idea or even seen such behavior before?

Is it an A13 tablet?

I am unsure on how to check for that. Under the settings -> About Tablet it just shows: Model = 097q1

If there was a way I could just flash and reset the thing, that might be good. But I have tried the hold volume and reboot trick, and it did not flash the thing back to factory. Basically my stuff was still there.

[General Questions and Answers] ericm76903:
You are the Man!!

Since I use a MAC, I had to load adb there. But once that was done, I was able to do steps 7 and 8 with out error, and it now works. Thanks for the information on that.

Here is the info for MAC and adb install:

1. Download the latest Android SDK from Google: Android SDK

2. Extract the ZIP file to your desired location

3. To get ADB, you need to install the SDK: Installing the SDK

If you are not a developer and not planning to develop, then just download the following zip file containing only the ADB tool and proceed with the tutorial: ADB

4.Create an environment variable (Optional)

5.Open Terminal

6.Type cd ~ this will take you to your home directory

7.Type touch .profile this will create a hidden file named profile

8.Type open -e .profile this will open the file you just created in TextEdit

9.In the file, type export PATH=${PATH}:/pathToTheAndroidSdkFolder/android-sdk-mac_86/platform-tools

10.Save file, close TextEdit, Quit Terminal, and Relaunch Terminal

NOTE: By creating an environment variable you won’t need to cd to the Android/tools folder every time you want to run ADB

NOTE: If you did not create an environment variable, then cd to the AndroidSDK/platform-tools folder, then type ./adb devices

NOTE: make sure you have your phone plugged in and have USB Debugging turned on (Settings > Applications > Development)

source: Just google: how-to-set-up-adb-android-debug-bridge-in-mac-osx
[General Questions and Answers] wcypierre:
good to know that it works :good: The adb config depends on your OS and you'll usually have it set anyway :) btw, does the battery at your rom has the graph indicated(the percentage of battery used for each apps, ex. screen - 60%, whatsapp - 4% and so forth)?

So today Samsung officially announced their new low-end phone, the Galaxy Music.

http://m.gsmarena.com/the_samsung_g...icial_has_a_dualsim_version_too-news-4921.php

Why did this make me rage? It has 850 MHz processor, and 512 mb of ram, and is running touchwiz ICS.

You know, the same touchwiz ICS that Samsung said is unable to run on our phone. We have a faster processor and the same amount of ram as this device, but they said it couldn't run on our device.

Why Samsung? Why would you lie to us?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Wow I agree
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HKSpeed:
still good news if someone is able to port the ROM to our phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
The Nexus S has it, lots of other phones do with the same specs. It's who they decide to screw over and sadly our phones that get sold to the smaller carriers using the 1700 spectrum get left out. My old Alcatel phone got left at 2.1, while the new version that came out with identical specs but no slide out keyboard had 2.3. There is other phones at Wind (the Canadian TMobile) that got left behind too. Guess they don't sell enough to justify it or just don't care. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
The galaxy s line was one of the best selling android phones at the time. There were millions sold, enough the justify an update. This makes me want to stay away from Samsung, who's to say they won't give the same treatment to the galaxy s 3 or note 2 after a year?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
"They" will. Once a phone is no longer "new" the carriers don't have incentives to pay the manufacturer to update the phone. The manufacturer has no incentive once the phone has faded to the point that it no longer can demand a high price from the carrier.

It's not a Samsung thing. It will be for any market players.

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Yeah this isnt something new look at what Motorola just did. They promised ICS to several devices and just went back on that. There is no implied or contractual standing that manufacturers have to provide a update beyond what the phone is shipped with. I know there is some agreements between Google and the manufacturers but with what Motorola just did its proof that is easy to get out of.

When you buy a pc do you get guaranteed updates to the OS for free? Im glad we have the ability to build our own versions and install on the devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Look at all the people that bought a brand new PowerPC Mac, then Mac switched to Intel/X86 chips. Sure, for the first year or so, they got updates and people made software for both PowerPC and Intel Mac's, but that faded quick and now the new MacOS's are Intel only and all new Mac software is for Intel based Mac's. People bought a $4000 Mac and got screwed 6 months later.

And as stated above, it's not just Samsung, as I said, my Alcatel got screwed up. They even promised a 2.3upgrade, then poof, nothing. Luckily a devoted XDA dev made a 2.3 for it, but again, it's in the hands of Devs, not the company.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

Who's to say LG or HTC or Motorola or Huawi or whatever phone you go to, won't do the same thing with the new phone you buy that's not a Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
This is exactly why I'm just going with the next nexus. Either that or the iPhone. Say what you want to about the iPhone but it simply works. It doesn't need custom rooms, hacking, or anything for it to just work smooth, fast, and have amazing battery life. I don't care if it doesn't have the same customizations..I don't spend my entire day customizing my phone. The only time I ever bother doing that is right after I flash a rom and after that I just use it..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
The problem is they get left out too. Siri comes out, won't run on older phones. Next year IOS 7 will be out and will have a bunch of new stuff that only works on the iPhone 5 and 6, and some things that will work on the 4G, and maybe a few things that work for the 4 and 3's. They leave people old in the cold with older phones just as much as Android does. Oh, let's make new phones "Retina" display, then make "retina" only new apps, anyone with a year old iphone 4gs, gets screwed because their phone isn't "retina".

Add that to having to jailbreak a phone just to install a 3rd party app, no thanks. Least we can check a box to install 3rd party apps, not jump through hoops. Despite the fact that jailbreaking is legal, Apple makes it harder and harder every time. Jailbreak your phone just to install an app that wasn't approved from the Apple store, then try and get service on the phone, even for a hardware problem and see the trouble you get.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KiNG OMaR:
You guys don't understand how these updates work.

Even if the specs are the same, sometimes is not possible to update. Why? Because the phone has to update from gingerbread to ICS WITHOUT a data wipe. Updates always keep your data intact. With only 512mb of RAM its not possible to patch on a brand new os on top of the old one and retain all of the users data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
T-Mobile did supply FOTA updates. It was quite possible to do it as they "reserved" the space in the OEM ROMs using a couple files in, as I recall, /data/fota/ which were recreated on boot if they did not exist.

One of the early "discoveries" of the SGS4G was that a user could recover something like 150 MB of space by deleting them and making the directory read-only.

I'm not sure why, within reason, the amount of RAM has much to do with the amount of user data. Only the system and system-app data would need to be migrated. Am I missing something in my thinking?

Edit: Credit may be wrong, but that was one of the earliest threads I found referring to it.
