[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
it doesn't matter to me, i don't care about benchmark rather real world usage, more about how practical and reliable it is as a phone. I don't buy PC to benchmark it and show of the score online neither. Reading over the hardware specs is enough for me to know what the device is capable of. Right now there is some concern about the build quality so I'm not going to buy it on day one and see others reaction first before deciding to go back to the galaxy nexus or get this one.

a good example is even if an apple device outscore android devices in benchmark, it's still a useless object.

i try to install cm10 on my nook color, but its stuck at the logo loop. dont know how to fix it

i was think if i can install cm7 to replace cm10

when i copy the cm7 file on the sd card and boot it up, it still goes to the cm10 boot loop

the only boot menu i have is to check where to boot from, internal or sd

please, can someone point me to either:

- how to fix the boot loop on cm10

- how to replace cm10 with cm7

** i can not post to the cm10 thread ** not enough posts

thanks
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You have to select SD and recovery on the boot menu to get it to boot to the SD installer script to install that CM7. But you should really start over with a freshly burnt SD, not install CM7 over the top of CM10.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vendpole:
Hello Everyone.

I got a n00b question and sorry for my lack of knowledge in the first place, well then :

I got a S3 GT-19300 with android 4.0.4 and firmware 19300XXLFB. (already rooted, flashed and installed a custom rom and kernel)

So, I want to install a new rom based on 4.1.1 JB and I9300XXDLJ4 firmware. My questions are: It is posible to install it with a rom manager? Can you update from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 doing that?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
you don't need an app for it if that's what you're asking.

you can do it all in recovery. the only thing you can't do is to rename the backup when you're there. (you can do it later.)

just don't forget to wipe before you flash a different version jump.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vendpole:
tnx man i'll try it :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
np.

just go into recovery with your preferred method (you can use CWM to do it or you can shut it off and use the button combo to start it into recovery. both will take you to the same exact place. then all you have to do is to go in and backup, wipe, flash, restart)

Just got my monthly email from my network provider showing me how much minutes/texts/data/etc I've used and how much I've saved, blah blah blah. Anyway, I noticed my data usage this month is higher than usual, hitting around 34Gb! Usually its about 25Gb, or around that mark. I don't have home broadband, so my entire internet browsing is done on my phone or by tethering my Nexus 7, PS3 and laptop.

Deciding between the nexus and s.

Nexus has better processor, display and software. S3 is overall good and it has a sd slot. The cheapest S3 i found was around 420. Im guessing the nexus is gonna be around 390 after tax.

The S3's screen blows. That's enough for me to get the N4.. But yeah if you really need the expandable memory go for the S3. I have like 4 or 5GB of music and mostly use pandora, and no TV, I just use Netflix, so I'm fine with 16GB. Also I think the S3's build is really crappy, it feels like really flimsy plastic. I like that the Nexus 4 has a glass back (although bad if you drop it). Also stock 4.1.2 is a plus, you'll always have the newest version of android and no touchwiz.

Dose anyone knows why this happen and what i can do ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotfingers:
Wow. OK, there are 2 ideas that may help...

The one that should help a lot is to flash a base-band from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688049

The baseband suggested by CM10 teams is "72", but I know from experience that "77" works perfectly well.

After you flash the baseband (using flashtool), you need to flash the libs that go with it (using CWM).

The other idea is to go to "Settings", then the "More..." option just below "Data Usage", then "Mobile networks", then tick "Use only 2G networks".

This is the same as your earlier work-around, so it may or may not work.

Good luck :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usama1919:
thank you for your replay , i just flashed the 77 baseband and and the lib file , but still have the same probleme and when i choose 2g only the phone reboot again

should i maybe clear cache after flashing ?

edit even after clear cache and data the problem persist
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotfingers:
Ok, then there's one last idea that might help.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836071

There's a stock rom at the above thread that could maybe get your phone back to the way it was...

Otherwise you can search for threads that have images of stock roms.

Oh yes, one other thing.. if you are running pdroid, then be careful how you set it up. (I've made some weird mistakes trying my luck with permissions)

Get your pc setup to use Odin.Then you can flash siyah-s2-v4.1.5.tar directly.....which gives you root/cwm and safe kernel.

Then backup efs folder and make nand backup.

Then visit the rom thread you like and follow instructions.

Or you can root using recovery method in my sig and flash the .zip version of siyah.

Hi guys,

I have a constant battery drain on my Samsung Galaxy i9100 international version. Even if the phone is in deep sleep for 96% of time during night time, it still loses 5-10% per hour. I have installed Better Battery Stats and there is no wakelock that occurs more than 1% of the time, so nothing suspicious.

I tried flashing many ROMs including some stock ones, CM9, CM10 nightly, RR 3.1, NeatRom Lite, but no result. I changed the modem (I am using Vodafone UK), did factory resets before and after flashing every ROM, bought another battery, tried another charger, but no result.

I am currently on NeatRom Lite and did not install any app, just the ones that come standard. I also do not have Wifi/3G/GPS/BT open. Even in flight mode the results are the same (~5% per hour).

Do you have any guess what the cause could be?

So I installed a stock rooted Jellybean ROM & upgraded from ICS. I did not erase any of my settings/apps/etc. I simply updated using ODIN on my computer.

Jellybean is running fine, however I have noticed that the colors are washed out on the lock & home screens. I searched around and found only 1 user experiencing this issue & someone's solution was to disable the ripple effect. Doing that does solve the washed out color on the lock screen, but I shouldn't have to disable this when it worked on ICS. Disabling ripple didn't fix the faded home screen color.

Anyone having this problem and/or know a real solution other than to disable an animation effect?
