Having to reboot your phone daily to keep it fast seems ridiculous and should not be necessary. With that said, my phone does get rather slow (mainly the keyboard) after a few days of use. This is the case with any ROM I've tried. It's quite annoying.

I'd hate to start a war here but I never had this issue with my iPhone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ooohhaaahh:
i had my gnex on for a few 2 weeks with no problem (then i started flashing things).

but i've never had that problem with any of my phones (razr, gnex, hd2, sgs4g, vibrant)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
well then dont, let your phone slow down or go back to tbe iphone. or you can try an app to clear your caches. its your call. i was just helping you try to keep your device speedy. if i dont reboot my work computer for a few days, or power it off when i leave work, it eventually slows down.

im a frequent flasher of kernels on my gnex, so thats the same as rebooting it every day. so my gnex is always fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Hmmm, I've only experienced a noticeable slowdown when I didn't reboot my phone for more than a week. And I honestly don't know how much of a difference this would make, but have you tried non-stock kernels?

As for iPhones...it definitely slows down with use IMO. :p I remember using my mom's 4S for a few weeks when my GNex was in for repairs, and I had to restart that thing every two or three days for it be running without too much lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
This is totally false.. I'm the system admin at work and I can vouch for servers running Linux and server 2003/8/12 running for 365 days+ with zero slow down. My PC at work would run the same with a million applications if it wasn't for windows updates.

I think most peoples issues with android slowdown is either too many applications installed and running at once, too many widgets, live wallpapers, or a lot of background services. This is a powerful device but like all, they have limitations. Just rebooting is a temporary bandaid...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMan90:
You never put a custom rom on your iPhone did you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
ha! system admin? linux? no no.. its a furniture store. im using a 2001 computer running windows :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Nice rolling eyes newb. If furniture stores have 30+ virtual servers, 1000+ PCs, and 1000+ employees under one roof then I guess youre right.

I fully expect more rolling eyes and more placebo reboots from you in the future. Hey can you reboot my esx servers for me? My virtual servers are getting slow. OK jk... someone like you wouldn't make it past any interview in the IT industry..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
Are the servers that you administrate running everything within a Java VM under linux? If they're not, your statement means nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Your statement means nothing because, as stated above, one of the respondants stated he reboots his work pc from slow-downs. If what you're implying is fact, that anything running under a Java VM needs rebooted daily then android is highly flawed and complete garbage as a mobile OS. A mobile device should have greater uptime over a desktop workstation because it's more critical - we carry these devices in our pockets everywhere we go and expect them to work when we pull them out to make a call, send a text, check email, etc.

But, thankfully this is not the case, and Android is not flawed. Rebooting your device every single day is completely unncecessary. If you are resorting to this behaviour then there is an obvious issue somewhere else that needs to be fixed, user-side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
I neither stated nor implied that. I simply stated that your statement regarding linux servers doesn't correlate to Android because you're talking about an OS with native apps vs an OS with apps being run in a VM. The two operate very differently, as you should know.

Many reasons can contribute to slow-downs in a PC. Perhaps this work computer (stated as a 2001 model running Windows) has a low amount of installed RAM. The less RAM available, the more likely that eventual slow-downs will occur. Perhaps it's one of the few computers today still running a pre-XP version of Windows, which were pretty horrible with memory management.

Am I jumping into the "boot your phone daily" group? Hell no. I'm on 62 hours of uptime currently (flashed a new kernel the other day). My device doesn't reboot unless I'm flashing something, it boots itself, or something goes horribly wrong. I was simply pointing out the lack of correlation between your linux servers and a mobile OS running a Java VM.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
I'm looking to change my current smartphone for the Optimus G, and I'm asking myself some questions:

Is the GPS performance any good?

I use it to keep track of my run and use it as a training tool, is it good and performant for GPS and tracking?

How is the sound when recording video?

I know it won't be as good as real equipement, but if you record a video in a loud environement, will it be any good?

How is the internal speaker?

Is it good enough to play a little bit of music on the go or it sounds like a cheap speaker?

Thanks to anyone! :P
[LG Optimus G (International)] theytalkalot:
My GPS locks instantly and says. 23 in view,but picks up 9or 10....usually. within 30 feet or less...awesome....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] llsektorll:
I sucessfully rooted and installed Chainfire3D, but installing the drivers to play the Tegra 3 games caused me to get stuck on Samsung Logo on boot. The awesome person that I am I didn't do a backup :(.

So I installed a N7100 Custom ROM with CWM and it boots. As you'd suspect the radio doesn't work so I get no signal. On my LG Optimus 3D I could flash the baseband to make the radio work. Is there any process like that for the SGNII?

I'm a little skeptical to use Odin3 to revert to stock ATT even though I have Rogers Note II. Not sure if I'll lose root and access to CWM and brick it fully.

Is my only solution to wait for a Custom ROM for ATT? Sprint and T-Mobile versions already have Custom ROMs. Any DEVs working on ROM for ATT?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ilikov:
I share the same problem with you :( Hopefully someone put a stock rom so we can flash it and forget about this problem!

Fingers crossed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frewys:
As the phone officially is released tomorrow I am sure it will pop up custom ROM. But that you managed to flash international on your Rogers phone. Is that the exact same phone as ATT is going to be? If so that is amazing news!! That was my only concern about the ATT note as I was disappointed in the dev for ATT galaxy S 3 compared to the international.

Brave man. Shame you missed to take the backup first though. Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] llsektorll:
No choice, soft bricked thanks to Chainfire3D. The international ROMs work but no signal or IMEI. The models are different from the international version and the ATT version. If I'm not mistaken the radios are different and run on different bands for LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frewys:
Yes. The radios are different and needs to be repacked for sure or just have the ROM without radio.Fairly common to. IMEI however is an issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] llsektorll:
Had similar issue with LG optimus 3D ... flashing proper ROM restored IMEI and Radio
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinholueiro:
Hi! I am an Xperia Arc S user that have the same SoC than the DHD. We only have an 2.6 kernel because we have the famous msm7X30 chipset. We're about a year and a half waiting. So, I'd like to ask about that.

1- If HTC did'nt release anything, would you have a 3.0 kernel?

2- How long do you have a 3.0 kernel?

3- Are the 3.0 kernel stable for daily use?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
This area of xda has a lot of devs both Rom and kernel savvy. They took the 3.0 kernel and recompiled it to work with ace devices both for aosp and sense. However, since it doesn't come from an HTC source there are issues that may never be ironed out. In my opinion it depends on what you use your phone for to determine if it is a daily driver for you. For me I don't have issues as headset buttons not working is not an issue for me. There are other bugs too, but for me it's usable as a daily driver. I don't know how long we have had the 3.0 kernel but it has been a while.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohazia:
Acualy, developers don't wait others, they r working hard on porting. I was switching between all ICS & JB ROM with their kernel, I found the most stable with vitreous kernel & almost have not problem on daily use.

MTK6575 Android 4.0.4 build: ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.2 OneClick ROOT Method

This is a modified Haipai I9220 root method used to ROOT the MTK6575 Dual Sim Android 4.0.4 chinese tablet phone with build number ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.2.

NOTE: This method may well work for other Android 4.0.4 devices but has not been tested.

This is a ONE CLICK root method but needs setting up before use.

Before using this method please make sure you have your usb cable driver installed and working! (search the net for MTK65xx usb driver on google if you dont have it already)

First of all Download the attachement file Android 4.0.4 mtk6575 Alps.ICS.MP.V2.2 ROOT.rar and extract it to you system using winrar. Then

1.	Go to your device settings and turn OFF usb debugging and connect the device to the pc using the cable and select "Turn on Usb Storage" on your device when the prompt appears.

2.	Now your internal memory and sd card should be mounted on your computer as drives e.g F:\ and G:\ so you should be able to access your devices internal memory and sd card as drives in my computer or windows explorer, go to your devices internal memory drive on widows explorer (NOT THE SD CARD DRIVE) e.g the first of the two drives and

3.	Locate a folder called ‘ data’ (if its not already there create it) and open it

4.	Create a new folder inside 'data' folder and name it “local” . Remember it is without apostrophy

5.	Open the local folder created and create another folder inside the local folder. Name this folder “tmp”

6.	Open ‘Root- without- unlock- folder’ (It is in the file that you downloaded and extracted to your hard drive) and copy both “su.file” and ‘superuser.apk’ files to ‘tmp’ folder you created on your devices mounted internal memory drive.

7.	Now turn off usb storage on your device and unplug your device

8.	Go to settings, developer options, make sure usb debugging is checked this time (ON)

9.	Plug in your device again (it may also be wise to enable "stay awake" option in developer options so your screen wont switch off and you will be able to see whats happening on your device).

10.	Open Root haipai I9220 folder. (It is in the file that you downloaded and extracted to your system)

11.	Double click root.bat and carefully follow the on screen instruction

12.	After it is completely done and your device is rebooted for the 3rd time, there will be a prompt to allow superuser installation on your device because the option will come up on your device after restart, choose accept or allow and thats it your device is fully rooted!

To make sure your device is rooted you should now see a new app called superuser in your device.

NOTE: Make sure you dont unplug the cable halfway during the root process or you may brick your device!!!!

All thanks and credits go to the original developers of the programs and to femmy4us for bringing it to us and sharing it with us.

ENJOY!.

V1277 or V12 or Starlight Dou Chinese Dual SIM Phone

I have this lovely Dual SIM Chinese phone which I would like to root for several reasons. I am told by a Chinese correspondent that it uses either the MTK6575 or the MTK6577. The build is E1911_V77_BAOL_G20_20120813. I suspect from the build that it is the MTK6577. I am having an issue with Play Store only showing free Apps and I would like to fix that. Also, I would like to fix the red underline (incorrect) English words that is showing while I am using the android keyboard.

Do you know of any specific Root script that will work with this?

And in you instructions you mentioned the folder /data, however, on this phone that folder is a sub folder of Android folder. i.e. android/data. Will I need to rewrite the runme.bat to reflect this path or make a folder /data?

Thanks

P.S. The phone is called the V75 or V1277 or the Starlight Duo on this website Lightinthebox.com
