[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrimozR:
Hi!

For te past couple of days i have massive problems with my desire. SOme quirkiness had begun to show up before, but nothing on this scale. It all started on thursday when my battery died and when i came home and plugged the phone in, it came into a constant bootloop. At first i tried everything i did in a simmilar case of a bootloop - took the SD Card out, run check for errors on both partitions (i have an ext partition, yeah), run fix permissions from clockworkmod, make a nandroid backup and restore the ext image, everything that used to help. It didn't now.

So i gave up and made a fresh install of the Nikez JB ROM. I have a weird quirk with Nikez JB ROMs that freezes the phone, if i open Chrome from it's shortcut in the dock/launcher (opening links from GMail for example works okay). So it froze, and reboots (it reboots after ~10 seconds). And there came another bootloop. When i came home again, i did another fresh install. All was well for the friday evening, until i came home lat at night and opened Chrome again. What a mistake. I woke up to the lovely Evervolv boot animation.

Yesterday i installed Sandvold ICS 0.18.2.1, configured everything and went out. When i called a freind, the phone froze again (it was dialing until it dialed out, but the call UI was frozen). After pulling the battery, yep, you guesed it, bootloop. Multiple reboots, with or without SD and SIM card didn't help. I did a fresh install while being out, since i needed to be connectable. And i did another one just 10 minutes ago, only to boot into 'sorry, that and that app closed' errors. Right now it's sitting here with the first use since i reinstalled it AGAIN.

It's worth noting, that i had an 8 GB Class 10 SD card. Which apparently died. I put in the original 4 GB c2 card in yesterday, hoping it would be okay. It clearly wasn't. The 4 gig one worked okay up until now, but 2 months ago i killed a 8 GB c10 after about a year. This one held up for only a month or two. GParted dies when trying to create a partition in the last 1024 MB, so the ext has been affected.

Since the 4 GB is supposed to work, what's left, dead NAND? How can i check that? Do you guys have any suggestions as to what to do, appart from 'get a new phone' (trying to wait till 29th to see, what the Nexus 4 will be like)?

I prolly missed a ton of info, so ask away (i'm in kind of a bad mood since i have a dead phone and i might have a tiny hangover, but it's not bad).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrimozR:
Anyone?

I reinstalled Sandovld's ICS ROM again yesterday, downloaded all the apps, made a nandroid backup and only after that made all the settings. Later, i got two calls, the first went fine, but before ringing at the second one, the phone froze (i heard buzzing in my radio speaker and a friend came over, confirming, it was him). It didn't boot. So i restored the backup, made all the settings again (it worked), went back to CWM recovery, made another backup and that's where the story ends, it doesn't boot anymore. Another format and reinstall probably would help, but it's not actually a solution...

Ideas? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Try a GB rom that doesn't need an ext partition, like CM7. See what happens.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrimozR:
Technically a GB rom, like CM7, also needs an ext partition (CM7 was one of my first custom, non-Sense ROMs, tested exactly because of the ext support) or the ICS doesn't, it's not ROM dependant.

But a GB ROM, maybe even an official version, is definetly on my to-do list, i just don't know when i'll get around to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] daleksic8:
Is it possible to disable bootanimation sound in this ROM(Dark Fantasy v2)?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Harpratap:
Yeah. you need to goto system>media>audio and delete one of the tones present in those folders.

I'm not which one of them is the boot sound

just play every tone and delete the one which is the boot sound.

How to buy and install full versions of apps when living in Taiwan? Google playstore refusing sale of pro version in Taiwan

Too bad Google is becoming a corporate monster that believes it has the right to withhold your pro version from it's android users in Taiwan. Would buy it from playstore in a wink but can't.

They say it's not compatible with my nexus 7 which is a blatant lie ... they just don't want to sell it as a they don't agree with some consumer protection laws in Taiwan ... who needs protection from a corporate monster? I always believed Google had their costumer's best interest at heart ... obviously not!

It's a general thing for almost all apps ... really sad we can't use our nexus 7 to its full potential.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamhcg:
I think apps like market unlocker or VPN is always a good choice. There are plenty of free VPN out there. Just google it.

I used one of the free VPN to claimed my $25 without any problem, then used Market Unlocker to spent those $25 on paid applications in Google Play. So far so good.

By the way, I don't appreciate Google's attitude of thinking they should be above the local laws, either. It's their way or no way? Seriously?

Hi, is there an app that uses earphones as a UHF/VHF antenna to pick up TV signals, just like you can use your earphones to get FM radio signals.

Thanks :)

:cowboy:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
No. You need a UHF/VHF tuner in the first place, and even so, there's much higher demands on a TV signal compared to a radio signal, so even if you've got a proper tuner, you'd still need a real TV antenna as well.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] greenlant:
Hello there!

What would the XDA community recommend atm in terms of "future development" - GT-I9305 or a GT-I9300?

The thing is: I would love to buy a Titanium grey version of the S3, but as it is only selled as an I9305 (with LTE and 2 GB of RAM) I would be forced to buy the more expensive one. Ignoring the price AND the question, if I really need LTE or not: Do I suffer a loss when I´m buying the I9305 in terms of ROM compatibility and DEV support here on the board? I assume that MOST of the people will stay with the I9300 right?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] speedyjay:
Theirs not really much in the way of "difference" between them except the lte chip and 2gb's of ram. Development should be near enough the same i reckon.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] mys3:
At the moment we only have 1 Rom, don't think it will even approach the dev of i9300.

Some people are still having problems getting stable root & custom recovery. I've got one but am still having doubts as to whether I made correct decision
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] 0semaj0:
its actually quite different...considering the number of I9300 that Samsung already sold, it is fair to say that a majority of those buyers would be XDA'ers and Devs...thus providing less incentives for the early birds to buy I9305...but in saying that, there may be some heavy weight Devs that may also invest in the development of I9305...but I doubt in the scale of I9300...

Its a bit like I9100G users I see in the I9100 forum...some-what deprived...until more recently...

if you are into your tweaks and roots...Ill suggest you consider I9300 or Note2...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DutchDoctor:
Yeah... I started to regret my assumption support would be anywhere close to the i9300 soon after buying my i9305.

There's a serious lack of AOSP... But recently I'm trying out this new "Sentinel Rom" which is a mod of Cyanogenmod and seems really really stable, while promising superior battery life. Fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] anguslaw:
have you tried using 4G(LTE) connection? Is your country providing 4G network now?

Believe me, 4G network is way faster than 3G, even H+. You should consider a LTE model instead of a 3G model if where you live is providing 4G network because in a near future, it will be the main stream network.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
Don't buy either, get an Xperia Z if you're buying last-gen, else buy HTC One, Galaxy S4 or wait for next Nexus, that is my advice. This device will never get "stable" AOSP.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] anguslaw:
actually, stock Rom is smooth enough for i9305 with 2g ram. you do not need custom rom.

most custom Rom have one common goal is to reduce the ram usage due to the hardware limitation of some old phone phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaz0721:
Hi, I downloaded and installed XWLPY NeatRom Lite v3.5 (18th October 2012)a couple of days ago and now my battery is draining extremely fast. I tried a couple of battery managers and nothing seems to work.

Anyone with any ideas on what I can do to remedy this? Plus I can't see the update section in my settings, is it removed with this software?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adarzannh:
The ROM doesnt have an update because the devs have removed it because you just flash an update. As for the battery drain give it a few more days if the problem persists try another ROM. If it still persists after that try recalibrating the battery or resetting the fuel gauge chip.

Hope this helps :)

NeatROM v3.5

Hi,

NeatROM 3.5 is one of the best ROMs from battery backup perspective. And I can say that because I am using it since 3.5 came out and have never had any issues.

For a better battery life, follow the steps from the link,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33045733&postcount=8776

Please note that the instructions are prepared to get the most out of your battery. Even if you follow the few ones that you are comfortable with, you will surely see some improvement.

Please press Thanks if this has helped you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tequila6808:
I agree with you .I use NeatRom 3.5 with Dorimanx, the best combination for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaz0721:
Sound complicated, thanks though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Its simple mate. Just download an app and hit a button. :p

Usually battery drain is due to one of two things.

-Phone not going into deep sleep

-Wakelocks.

Download an app like CPU spy. you can use it to see whether or not your phone is going into deep sleep like it should. Also, use better battery stats to look for wakelocks. Download the app from HERE , let it run for one battery cycle and then check for wakelocks. If you dont know what those are, spend some time reading that thread.

But if you want to hold off for a couple of days, you can do that. It does take some time for a phone battery to settle when a new rom/kernel has been installed, after which battery life tends to improve.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaz0721:
Thank you very much for your help mate. I've tried a couple of battery managers off play (juice defender and another one). Right now kind of regretting this download, everything seems to be going wrong;

1. battery is draining @ 15% in 20 mins ( I only bought the battery last week after having the phone unlocked).

2. there's a lot of lag

3. screens keep freezing and

4. keep losing reception and constantly having to restart phone.

I only downloaded this cause after unlocking my phone it failed to update. Is there any other that I can download that works well with SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
There's no dearth of ROMs for the i9100 dude. Try a couple out and see if those help. If its stability you're after, maybe use an ICS Rom rather than JB.

15% in 20 mins isn't normal even for a first day..you sure it isn't a faulty battery right? Was it giving decent life before you switched to this ROM?

Try downloading a calibration app and see what the voltage is when it says its charged 100%. Should be around 4100-4200 mAh.

As for the lags and freezes, did you wipe data, cache etc before you installed this Rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaz0721:
I had cleared the cache in settings before installing. Like I said, my first time doing this. Seemed straight forward at the time.

Since my phone is unlocked, will it return to ics4.0.3 which is what I had before?

Battery calibration app is showing 4161mv.

Will a factory reset help?

Thanks for all the help, site can be a bit confusing sometimes lol.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Cache from settings? No. I meant clearing cache from the CWM recovery menu. If you installed the ROM via CWM, that is.

If you did, I'd suggest reinstalling it again via cwm this time clearing data, cache and dalvik cache.

Ok..I just realised I totally assumed you'd installed it using CWM. Not sure if you did.

You can return to 4.0.3 if you want. Download stock firmware from sammobile.com and install it via Odin. I'm sure there's a guide on how to do that somewhere on this site.

Just noticed someone posted instructions on maximising battery. Did you use those? It could explain the freezes if they started after that. Some phones just can't handle undervolting etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaz0721:
Morning, I downloaded some battery managers and seems to be working better and faster. Battery discharged 27% in 5 hours.

Will see how it goes over the next couple of days.

Teaches me a lesson to do my research first lol.

Below is a screen shot of the apps I installed.

Thanks and gave a great day!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Haha that's a lotta apps just to save battery. As long as it helps eh? 27% in 5 hours is pretty acceptable for moderately heavy use. Depends on your signal strength and whether you're using data or on WiFi etc.

You can open paranoid setings for check dpi sizes and than you can saefty edit propeties.conf

Solution 2 [BETTER]: Change premissons in propeties.conf to rwerwerwe and you can change setting from menu. Thats it enjoy:) If you want backup do the same with the backup file

I thought it looked pretty good without adding hardly anything to the dimensions plus this way I have the screen protected and when I go to sell it for the next super smartphone, I put the original back price on and any scratches or hits on the back are instantly gone.

To be fair I don't normally like cases but this does not get in the way to much and when folded back on itself it makes a very good horizontal stand for watching videos.

Hope whatever you chooses works for you but imho whilst Otter boxes are without a doubt solid protection they just ruin the pleasure in having a slim phone.
