[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] takabanana:
Nope - I don't use Google Music - and I use a separate MP3 player for playing music (I'm one of those weird people who doesn't believe in wasting my phone battery on playing music.. haha)

I don't see anything else eating away at my battery life according to Gsam (well, ok, except the evil Amazon App Store - which I can't freeze since some apps I bought from Amazon require it - UGH).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Instead of freezing these processes, when you reboot after a couple of minutes go to settings>battery and then to MEDIA and force stop. It will turn itself back on later if need be but that stops the ruanaway service with no apps force closing when used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] takabanana:
My phone is set to reboot every morning after Ti Backup does a backup of apps/data and I'd hate to have to go through that every morning.

(the SmartPhoneMate app also requires 1-2 reboots a day so that's why I also do that)

Yeah I'm just lazy :)

One day I'll take the time to figure out if it's something on my SD card... :)

I just wanted to make sure if there was something else I should be worried about... so far nothing major as far as I can tell.

P.S> Sorry about posting in the wrong place - as you can see, I'm total n00b here (been lurking for a while though)

Here is a good set of solutions and workarounds: http://geeknizer.com/fix-android-media-server-scanner-sdcard-cpu-battery-drain/

In addition, a further one may be helpful/needed: disable (freeze) the Downloads app (com.android.providers.downloads)

What was most helpful in my case is to use the Rescan Media Root app to disable the buggy image scanner altogether.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Good stuff... thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
Well I'm not sure why Samsung does this, however it drives me nuts. So here is the phone.apk without the increasing ringtone stuff.

Flash in recovery.

You must delete the "SecPhone.odex" in /system/app after installing. Until I can make a time to have the zip do it. Thanks

Click here to download

Enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sam3gX:
I was looking for a way to disable this.. thanks! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
Thanks man.. awesome mod...needed this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] redrider54:
I flashed from recovery, rebooted and it said updating apps,starting apps, had my wife call but it still does that lame ascending ringtone. I tried rebooting and now every time it reboots it says updating apps, starting apps.. sucks lol takes a little longer to start up now. Any way to fix? I also found the file you talked about deleting but it said it was read only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 45ACP1911:
I had the same problem with it not working then used rom toolbox pro to kill the said file rebooted and works perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrispyutec:
Wow I was waiting for this mod!!! Sham on you Sammy for making this wonderful Dev make it right. I for sure didnt forget to hit the thanks button on this one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
Worked like a charm. Had to delete the odex file, then the mod took. A cache/dalvik wipe took care of the "upgrading apps" screen. My ringtones start loud and stay that way. Many thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wblteen:
I can't seem to find the "secphone.odex" file. Only secphone.apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
Are you running a custom ROM? If so, you're probably already deodexed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wblteen:
OK. I got ya. I still get the "updating apparently" on restart. I have cleared caches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
Not sure I can be of much more help if you're on a deodexed ROM already. I've stuck with rooted/de-bloated stock for the time being. Wiping the caches solved it for me, aside from the first boot after the cache wipe, of course, but I'm still fully odexed aside from that one file I deleted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] redrider54:
It worked for me this time, thinfs different from the first try, im now on the lite de-bloated stock rom and modded kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
So it looks like I need to modify the zip install to remove the .odex file.

Makes sense since de-odexing turns the .odex into a classes file inside the apk, which is then edited. I'll edit the zip today to remove to .odex file.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SeanH:
I installed and it did not work. I then used Root Explorer to delete /system/app/SecPhone.odex, cleared caches, rebooted and it works fine.

Thanks for the utility it was greatly needed.

I have not yet. I'm sorry. Can anyone do it for me? Busy at work at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacos:
How to revert?

I fully agree with you, this volume increase doesn't make any sense however, is there a way to revert back to the previous state should something go awry? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
I can always post the stock files. But at the moment no.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacos:
Thanks, I would appreciate posting the stock file. On the other hand, preserving a backup of the file "Phone 4.1.1-I317MXXXXXX (VOICEMAIL)" in Titanium Backup, would that restore the Phone.apk? I really don't seem to find another relevant file in TB, so probably that would be it. I'm only wondering whether the SecPhone.odex will also be backed up/restored or would I have to manually save/restore it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
It will not back up the .odex file. I have both stock and de-odexed files if you need them. Both have the increasing ringtone present.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacos:
I do. How can I get them please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
I will upload tomorrow. Going to bed for now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SeanH:
I had an issue with my device yesterday. I do not think it is related to this mod but I wanted to post what happen anyway.

My phone would drop the data connection when the signal got low and stay disconnected. I tried everything and got to the point I was going to take it back to ATT. I was in the process of unrooting the phone. When I did a factory reset it started working again.

Again this probably has nothing to do with this Mod but I thought I would mention it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
Um thanks for the info? However you had another underlying issue. Editing 2 lines in the classes.dex file has nothing and will have nothing to do with your data connection.

Did you post your story in the rooting thread? Recovery thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacos:
Hi,

Any chances to post those files, please?

---------------------------------------------------------

Update: Tue.Nov.27.2012

- Saved the original 2 files,

- flashed zip in TWRP,

- removed the original SecPhone.odex file,

- wiped Dalvik cache

ALL OK - THANKS!!

BUT I would still like to know how would I be able to go back without restoring a nandroid backup. Any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
I don't understand your post?.why can't you flash this mod in twrp? This flash works perfect..just manually delete the sec odex one..its so easy..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
Sorry! Totally forgot to post the files. Have been busy with work. :( I will post when I get home this afternoon from work. Sorry buddy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacos:
I don't understand what you don't understand but I do understate why you don't understand my post...it's because you just don't bother reading it. Read the whole post and you'll find your advice at least redundant, read the whole thread and you'll find your comment totally useless. Sorry for being a little harsh, but I believe your comment deserves it.

"why can't you flash this mod in twrp?" - I did, I said so - and you quoted it

"This flash works perfect.." - I know, I also confirmed it - and you quoted it

What do I still want? Well, read the post, again! It seems to be very clear to the developer...see his comment bellow - and, YES, it was mentioned and you quoted that too. :confused:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friendlyfires7:
Hey,

Since a few days my Desire started acting weirdly and I sadly suspect it had something to do with be dropping it on the floor at some point. I didn't notice any changes immediately but after a while I noticed the following 3 things:

1) when I plug in my headphones, no icon would appear, they wouldn't be recognized so the sounds will only come through the external speaker.

2) the most upsetting one, when i make/get calls, i hear no sound through the internal speaker, only through the external one if I activate it

3)the camera starts but shows nothing, only the upper corners would be lightly lit and then a fc occurs

I guess something in the 'head'/upper part of the phone might have been affected by that fall, is there anything else I can do by myself to try to make it a decent usable phone again?

I already tried reinstalling the rom, lastest MIUI-XJ by the way, and putting it in the fridge(saved me before with some stuff) with no success. :(

I've had my Desire for 2 years now, was thinking of replacing it soon, but definitely not this soon... What to do to get my baby back?:(

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
Hi everyone!

I' m about to buy a used atrix 4g and I want some advice.

Should I buy this phone or is it too old and I shall look something else (like a sony xperia sole)?

Are there any good Jelly Bean roms to flash?

What about the user experience? Is it good at playing games and multitasking?

Please give me some info about this phone!!

Thanks in advance,

Petros.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnotherBill:
It's stuck on GB and current JB or ICS roms are marginal.

I would say it depends on what price you're getting it for and how badly you need/want ICS or JB
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
First of all, thank you for your reply!

I don't want to use GB, I want a good JB rom to flash. Is there any?

I am going to buy it at about 120 euros, while xperia sole costs at least 200 euros. Both dual core with a good GPU.

What do you mean "marginal"? They are not good? Not fast/stable? What about battery drain?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
A 100% stable ICS/JB ROM for the Atrix does not exist. If you want decent stability for day-to-day usage, you are stuck with GB. (Personally, I wouldn't call it "stuck" since GB is working exceptionally well for me and I have no desire to switch anytime soon.) In fact, the ICS/JB on the Atrix situation is far more complicated than you probably think.

You might want to go over a few threads over at the dev section to get an idea.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
Just fast and stable with working wifi camera and bt.

So you suggest me to look another device for running ICS/JB??
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
If running ICS/JB is really that important to you, then yes.

On current ICS/JB builds the wifi works, the bluetooth mostly works (depends on what you want to do with it), and the camera is kinda glitchy.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
But are these roms smooth at working and fast?

It is pitty to see such a good device not having nice ics roms! A dual-core device with 1gb ram should be having fun running ics or jb.. :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Yes, for the most part. It really depends on what you do, and also who you ask.

I'm still on GB (I feel perfectly comfortable on it), so I cannot pass my own judgement or impressions.

I don't think there is a single person here who would disagree, but try telling Motorola that...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoBRatrix:
The atrix is a great phone,good hardware,only have a problem that is no oficial ICS or JB,but for me a CM 7 is great,no lags and very stable.

I'm ahardcore gamer and at the moment all the games run smooth,no lags. I already played dead triger,riptide GP,GTA III,shadows guns and other ''BIG'' games.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
thanks men for your replies!

No i don't want to get another phone to run cm7. I used to have a nexus one about a year ago and it was running jb 4.1.1 flawlessly. so i don't want to go to gb. now i use an xperia x10 running 4.0.4 with the cam corder not working, and in general it is not very smooth.

so as you understand i don't want to buy a dual core phone to use gb. i am confused :confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Then the answer is simple - don't get the Atrix.

It might be a good option in some time, but not right now.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
i understand.. i will try to find some more info and then decide.

thanks man for your interest
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besttigwelder80:
as a matter of fact i was wondering the same thing whether i should change from my atrix or just stick with it. I love my atrix. very good phone. i tried several different roms and i am running CM10 by emerson pinter now. it has been the best rom yet that i have found and am going to stick with this for a while until they come out with something new or an official JB rom. i have had no lag whatsoever and has not crashed not one time....knocking on wood now. the gaming is still great with the kernel for overclocking to 1300Mhz. And to beat all it was relatively easy...lol only problem is the camcorder doesnt work and there may be something else but i haven't found it yet. just read and read some more before you decide. hope this helps a little
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:

I have the moto q ota update and rooted. i used online nandroid app to make backup. I was playing around with bootstraper because i didn't want to unlock just yet. phone rebooted but stuck on yellow sprint screen. will not go passed that. I wiped cache and did factory reset but to no luck. i can see my nondroid backup but how do use it.

i just got this phone someone pls help
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
Just boot into either twrp or cwm recovery and install nandroid from there. be sure to wipe before installing nandroid back-up
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dwaynet89:
I dont have either one. I only rooted. Didn't unlock or add custom recovery.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You... need a custom recovery in order to take and restore any backups.

Why were you messing with things like this without a way to restore your backups? You need a proper recovery in order to do these things.

Perhaps try unlocking & flashing CWM/TWRP. You've got nothing to lose at this point...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
you might have to unlock and flash one now i dont know what bootstrapper you used but i dont think one has been made for the Q since we have a unlockable bootloader
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dwaynet89:
I was just looking into unlocking and flashing one. But to answer q I was trying look into possibly modifying a bootstrap for the q for people like me who really didn't want to unlock and that seems to have been a very stupid idea.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sixxt9:
Do you have a backup saved on your memory card or is your nandroid saved online? If it's online only you might be somewhat screwed over.... luckily someone hosted a stock backup. I'll walk you through it once we see exactly what's going on.

I Love yal and i take no credit for the last part. someone else did that in a different thread. Now i can go to bed without the fear of my wife killing me.

ince im unlocked. but take your time responding im bout to go to bed with a smile on my face thanks to you guys.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tetrabyt:
go to the settings/system update and click on update motorola software... you should get the update downloaded again. oh, make anothere backup with twrp to your sdcard BEFORE you update. and after you update also... if you like., it will save you a hell of a hassel, as you well see.. :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sixxt9:
Just to amend that ... you need completely stock system and boot partitions as well as a stock recovery or the update will fail on install.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dwaynet89:
Okay do i get that from shabbys files and flash? I think i have a stock system i used the stock odexed files from here to restore my phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sixxt9:
That link won't load but assuming your system partition is bone stock and odexed you're good there. If not yogi hosted his a few pages back and I can vouch as well that those work perfectly. You'll for sure need the stock recovery and to be on the safe side I'd flash the stock boot partition, both img files are hosted with shabby's files.

Here are the steps:

1. Restore your stock system partition

2. Download stock recovery.img (and boot.img recommended) to your adb folder.

3. Reboot into bootloader/fastboot mode

-adb reboot bootloader

4. Flash stock recovery (and boot partition recommended)

- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

- fastboot flash boot boot.img

- fastboot reboot

5. Accept OTA prompt or force update via settings.

6. Once it finishes downloading, it'll prompt to install. Accept it and it'll power off your phone and apply the update. Assuming your system, recovery, and boot partitions are correct the update will install with no problems.

7. Phone will guide you through some prompts and update profile and PRL once it loads. Once this completes it's recommended that you force update those again as the PRL the update downloads seems to be old.

You should be golden from there. If you wish to re-root, simply reflash your recovery (twrp or cwm), reboot into it and install the superSU zip again.

***NOTE*** Arrrghhh's kernel (at least up to .05) isn't completely compatable with this update. Flashing it WILL mess up your wifi, and we haven't found a fix for that other than reverting to the old software and starting the update over.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dwaynet89:
