[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SG3_user1:
Hi guys i just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 from Thailand

It has lot of apps in chinese. One of them specially called "QQ Security" is a nuisance

I need to remove it cannot

So searched the net

tried various ways to root the device but was unsuccessful

Finally got a step by step process on how to root the device which needs the phone to get into the download mode

The method i follow is "From off hold vol down and home then press power"

No matter what I do i cannot get into the download mode

It gets into recovery mode every single time i try it

I read some where that I can flash the rom but even for that the download mode is needed.

I am pretty stuck will appreciate any kind of links or guides

The model is GT-I9300?

Android Version 4.0.4

I am m sorry if this particular issue has already been talked about before, but i could appreciate any kind of help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
First question as always is it really a I9300 or some Chinese clone .

Second is use the instructions from XDA not from someone who gives wrong instructions .

Download Mode

PWR + Home + Vol Down .

Root use CF Root .

BASICS .

Thanks for the reply...

1) not sure - any way to confirm

2) tried PWR + Home + Vol Down .

same result goes to recovery mode..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
In that case it a Chinese clone not a GT I9300 .

Check details under the battery and in settings about phone .

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] voidvader:
I need maximum battery time. So what is the best kernel for this and it´s configuration? I don´t need answers like "search for it" . Go hell those stupid guys.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] deathnotice01:
there is no such thing as perfect kernel or perfect configuration,

the factors that can determine the amount of battery usage depends heavily on the nature of the usage under the user itself,

most kernels with undervolt support and underclocking will do fine,

i'd suggest you try out tweaks and preferences yourself since no one can guarantee you an exact time frame,

but i'll give you mine,

ROM: WP8 Monochromatic 5.1

Kernel: Built-in rom (savie's)

Tweaks: Built-in rom

Scaling freq: 156min 624max

CPU Governor: ondemandx

reduced all bloatwares even gmail and maps,

Battery Time (heavy usage): 4hrs max (medium usage): 1-1.5 day max (minimal usage) 2-3days max

that's just about it,

please take the time to conduct a research on what is your best prefered battery saving method,

don't call anyone stupid,

it's bad and potato disapproves :P
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Kousthubha Kumar:
Rom doesnt matter really if you manage the applications well.

Use kuros kernel + kuros tweaks. Thats the best battery saving combo Ive tried.

For governor, use ondemand, the most battery efficient governor and use deadline for i/o

Not really. Change between Merruk #206 and kuros latest, you can really notice the battery drain difference. Its battery efficient than stock kernel in my tests.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Filip98:
Here u go:

Before all id reccomend updating the software to the latest version xD

Use the latest white kernel

Use v6 supercharger and some other tweaks

Reduce the screen brightness

Lower the system volume in the sounds options

Disable animation

Disable auto-sync

Disable backup settings

Disable roaming ^^,wifi,mobile internet,bluetooth when you dont use it(gps even if turned on allways is only actually active when theres a open app that uses gps ^^)

Disabling more sound effects will make it ugly and not cool lol,so do as u wish with thease:

Keyboard sounds

Lock screen sounds and vibration

set a boot frequency in set cpu like:

312-832,conservative,sio

Set up proper profiles in set cpu like

Screen off

312-312,powersave,noop

Charging

312-832,ondemand,sio

Battery 50 F

312-832, conservative,noop

Battery <16

312-832, conservative, noop

here just take my setcpu profiles, i made it in setcpu 3.07 just put it in the root of your sdcard and in setcpu enable profiles and click on restore profiles and click on that :P

http://www.mediafire.com/?ru786ho4o9i7jdp

Here are some build.prop tweaks

ro.ril.power.collapse=0

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=4

dalvik.vm.startheapsize=4

this one is alredy in v6 supercharger ;P

pm.sleepmode=1

remove some useless apps that u dont use but their allways running in the background(yeah remove anything u will never use)

Google maps

email(not gmail)

software update

and buying a new, better battery isnt a bad idea too ? is it (obviously xD)

I hope i Helped, this and some of my other build.prop tweaks made my battery go like lol xD it was lasting so long idk how much was it
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] voidvader:
Thank you all! Thanks so much guys!:good:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] kurotsugi:
the correct one is "dalvik.vm.heapstartsize". dalvik.vm.startheapsize is not exist. nevertheless, this script only work for ICS. GB based rom doesnt have these prop. please be carefull with any prop for virtual memory like this one. if you clean your dalvik-cache you might ended up in bootloop.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Maybe because you call people genius. We are too humble to come up.

Anyway, who suggest uploading a pit file? You need a Rom to upload a pit file together with.

Grab the stock EF17 Rom from one of the thread and make sure you have charged your tab fully for 8hrs before doing it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shah92:
Hello Guys i made my mind a few days ago to buy a tablet probably nexus 7 than i come to know that there are not many tablet optimized apps so now i want to buy a phone but confused between Nexus 4 and galaxy nexus ,, htc one x was also i my list but i cut that out as OS updates on nexus device is quicker than htc

The main problem is , in my country i cant order phone from playstore therefore the nexus 4 will cost me around $450 ~ $500.

Whereas the samsung galaxy nexus will cost around $300 ~ $320 so if you guys can tell me is there any advantage of nexus 4 over galaxy nexus (in term of apps availablity) i means if apps in android store will lag on dual core and run smooth on quad core or both can run anything smootly so if you guys please tell me i will be thankful

i am a student

wnat this for day to day purpose

maybe someday for android development.

need a camera once in a while listen songs

want battery atleast 12 hrs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
if money is a factor get the gnex.. if its not get the n4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
If you can afford the Nexus 4, go with the Nexus 4. Pretty much every app on the Play Store will run fine on the Galaxy Nexus except some of the NEW high end games but your need for a possible development phone, more battery life and a decent camera suggest you are better served by the Nexus 4.

You pretty much answered your own question with the "possible app development" remark because if you are doing that, you will only be left behind if you don't have the latest developer phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
If you have the money, then get the Nexus 4. If you're short on money, save some more and get the Nexus 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
lol..i like this reply
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
haven't encountered a single game that won't run on gnex and I play a lot.

I prefer gnex. the glass back, LCD display, etc.... all keep me from really wanting to get the nexus 4. especially after how easily it broke in the verge review

I feel like nexus 5 will be something I'll really want
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
I'm sticking with the Gnex as well because of the glass and the fact that I don't really play games. The Nexus 5 or whatever its called is going to be my jewel next year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kickthefreak:
Im just waiting nexus 5 on htc,

For now it will be better sticking with galaxy nexus,

Since many dev for the rom, it doesnt matter quad or dual for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
hey dont hate on that glass back.. i just saw a friends n4 today and gotta admit you might wanna be little more careful but that back is sexy, especially the design :cool:

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
I don't see HTC getting it. I see Motorola getting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
a little more careful?

guaranteed you'll see lots of broken phones after tiny little drops (which happen to all of us).

it's a stupid design.imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno86:
I'll be sticking to my GNex. Upgrading a phone is me going from my Nexus One to a Galaxy Nexus. Going from a Galaxy Nexus to a Nexus 4 is not an upgrade imo - it's just about having the latest phone, hype, etc. There really isn't anything out there for myself that's going to get developed for me to require a Nexus 4.

Glass back? How many people are going to spend more than 10 seconds to look at the back of the phone to acknowledge it looks cool. Not worth the trouble of tip-toeing around with it so it doesn't drop and break, and I assure you many will drop their N4 and many will have broken glass. I'm surprised that the glass even broke. Isn't it supposed to be Gorilla Glass 2? I'm probably mistaken because from videos I've seen of GG2, it doesn't look like something that would crack from a subtle drop to the floor, but who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
it's scratch resistant not crack resistant
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkarvan:
if you have no nexus device > nexus 4

if you have already the galaxy nexus > dont buy it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Leemur89:
If i were you Shah.. I would go for the Galaxy Nexus.. First of all you stated your reasons of why you wanted to buy a phone + you have a little budget constraint.. The only solution to that is..buy a Galaxy Nexus...However, i do love that sexy looking Nexus 4 though, But just like ip4, etc.. it will be facing some problems with the back cracking etc.. But then again, how many of us goes around without buying a casing for our phones? And as far as gaming is concern. The galaxy Nexus can handle all the latest games so far, except for maybe tegra 3 games. Dual core phones aren't yet outdated. (you can check out reviews for Galaxy S3 quadcore vs dual core, basically the same thing) Cheers~ i hope i helped..Good luck in making your decision bro!

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sarpedon13:
So I had this version of connectbot that fixed the transformer's alt key not acting as a meta key in connectbot. But I had to do a factory reset on my tablet and I can't find the version anymore. I have an old connectbot .apk on my sd card, which I assume would but the correct version, but it doesn't work as advertised. So I'm wondering if it's known that the ICS update screwed with said fork of connectbot?

Please let me know if you have/know of a working fork of connectbot that allows the alt key on the TF101 to act as a meta key.

I've already google-fu'd, tried almost all the builds in this thread:

<link removed, can't post urls apparently>

It's the thread from google code for connectbot where a bunch of forks to fix the keyboard issue were posted.

And many many others.

Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] xyellx:
its called "Irssi ConnectBot" from the Market
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sarpedon13:
It's not.

The keyboard alt key doesn't work as advertised.

I need the keyboard alt key to actually send "alt" so that I can use it to switch windows in irssi. irssi connectbot doesn't provide that feature.

I tried lorantkurthy's fork (github.com/downloads/lorantkurthy/connectbot/ConnectBot.apk) for the TF101, and it doesn't have an option for the transformer keyboard in the settings area. Maybe the update to ICS broke the model detection? Can someone perhaps compile a version that doesn't have a hardcoded version detector, or otherwise provide a working fix? Thanks in advance.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyrox41:
Hi guys, sorry if there is already a thread about this but I'm travelling at the moment and don't have the time/wifi/computer to browse fully.

Anyway, my problem is my friends SE xperia x10 (not be mini or pro) had this problem where out of nowhere the Internet app just crashed as soon as it opened, and wouldn't even wait for you to click on the buttons for the error message, that just closed. Thinking it was probably just a ram error or whatnot, I rebooted it.

So now the phone turns on, goes passed the white SE logo onto the boot logo, and there it remains in a loop. I've tried looking around with Google and on here, but I can't seem to find the answer... I think.

The room isn't custom, it's just the stock branded gingerbread from virgin Australia.

It will connect with Flash tool, but it says usb debug is off, which I can't change, but on the current computer I've gained access to to I don't think it has MTP drivers so not sure if that would effect it.

I have also installed the companion suite, not useful.

Also installed the SEUS software, which I've had to do all of in safe mode cos the computers are slow as anything and have administration protection.

So, any advice would be awesome at this point. My friend wants to keep whatever is on there currently like her photos and contacts so on, but if there is no other way I'll have to re flash it if I can.

Any help greatly appreciated guys, thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzufa:
Pictures are on SD Card, and they are safe. If he/she didn't backup Contacts earlier, they will be,for sure, erased with flashing new Rom.

If that phone was rooted, and have Xrecovery, than download some Rom (for flashing with Xrecovery), and put on SD Card. Then reboot in Xrecovery, first wipe everything (factory, cash), go to Partition Menu and Format System, Data and Cash. Then go back to Main menu, and choose Install custom zip from SD Card, find your downloaded Rom, and flash it.

If you don't have Xrecovery, or abovementioned solution didn't helped, I think that only solution is to reflash Stock Rom again with SEUS. If you can't use SEUS with your PC for flashing, find another PC.

I don't know is there anyone having posted a guide to make ripple lockscreen works on XXLSJ with 240dpi~

So I just post it~

It's very easy for any people~

just decompile framework-res.apk with apktool;

then go to /res/values-hdpi/bools.xml, change the only "false" to "true";

rebuild it & done ~

( I've spended lots of time on looking for this on classes of android.policy.jar...

WTH.....)

PS:

after this there will be a option to toggle on/off the Ripple Effect in your Lock screen options~~

and the Ripple Effect will also been disable automaticly when you set a live wallpaper as your lockscreen background...

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

I also find a way to make the max Lockscreen shortcuts numbers up to 4 ,instead of stock 3 ~

just easy, too

decompile SecSettings.apk with apktool;

go to smali\com\android\settings\lockscreenshortcut\LockScreenShortcutSettings.smali;

locat this line:

sput v0, Lcom/android/settings/lockscreenshortcut/LockScreenShortcutSettings;->MAX_SHORTCUT_ICON:I

then edit the line before it:

--const/4 v0, 0x3

++const/4 v0, 0x4

rebuild it & done ~
[Galaxy S II General] goolby:
just one thing

To decompile and compile back framework-res.apk without errors, you must use apktool v1.4.2 to decompile and apktool v1.4.3 to compile back.

Hey guys.. I need some SERIOUS Help!! Now I'm not a S2 owner but the Software we run (Android 4.1) is the exact same - that's why I had to post it here....

I tried this a few minutes back and the Ripple effect works really well but there's another problem which arises when I enable Ripple effect.... Look at the two pictures below - one before enabling and one after enabling....

Why is there loss of quality/contrast at the edges...? Whats even more weird is that I tried it from first again and things went even worst now.. before it was just the lockscreen... now the entire display of my phone went CRAZY - its almost completely dull with low contrast - full brightness doesn't help either.. its WORSE than before now!

I flashed back my stock framework-res.apk to get things back to normal......
