[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LosserKlosser:
I want to compare battery drain in kernels, but I'm not sure if the way I want to do it, is a good way.

I was running CyanogenMod 9.1 - stable release - with Siyah kernel.

I experienced massive battery drain (like five hours to go from full charge to 50%) so I installed BetterBatteryStats. I'm not very good at using this software yet, but I set my custom reference point to be unplugged from charger, and I look at the widget - thats it. I don't read the logcat file, I don't understand it.

I unplugged the phone late in the evening and went to bed.

Next morning 9 hours later, 20% had drained from the battery with more than 3 hours of kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks.

I just couldn't live with that, so I flashed I9100XWLPY_I9100XXLQ6_I9100NEELP6_NEE.zip and went back to stock firmware - no root, no CWM recovery, no custom kernel.

The battery drain is SIGNIFICANTLY lower, even after use for calls, texting and wifi and mobile network surfing. Since unplugged is now 20:39 hours ago, deep sleep is 18:01 hours, KWL is 2:33 hours, PWL is 1:12 hours.

Now I'm curios.

I want to flash SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1 and just compared the rough numbers after the same period of time and charge.

Is this a good way to compare, or am I missing something?

So I have an Otterbox case and I already took the original Otterbox screen protector out and replaced it. I replaced it with the Spigen Curved Crystal protector but it's already starting to come off since it didn't really completely cover the whole screen. So now I need to get a new one. Any ideas? Which ones do you guys think are the best?

I ordered a Skinomi screen protector from Amazon about 2 months ago. This is the worst piece of crap I've used. I read decent reviews prior to my purchase and nobody mentioned that it is extremely soft. I probably have 20 or so fingernail indentations on the protector which is totally weak. I'm interested in hearing what others think are the best since I will be in the market for a more durable screen protector that covers the entire screen.

I'm using liquid armor for more then 3 months. For now it works good. I only got 1 small, almost invisible scratch, but that was after keeping knife, screwdrivers and a lot of other sharp objects in my pocket with phone. And it was after almost 3 months since last coating.

If you don't like that then I recommend buying invisibleshield extreme. My friend has that and it works great for him. I'm thinking about buying it myself.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KestrelX:
For some reason I haven't ever put any thought into this option before. Do you use it? Does it slow the tablet down? I wanted an option to wipe data after a certain number of failed password attempts and it looks like the only way to do that (sort of) is to encrypt it and then you get an option to lose the encryption key after failed password attempts? Would love some opinions/suggestions. Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpz3.14:
I'm really curious about this, too. Does anyone have their tablet encrypted? What are the practical effects it has on ROMing?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I believe encryption only slows it down on boot as it decrypt, once it's booted its fine. It just stops people ripping out the flash or making a dump and reading out your data.

***EDIT***

THE SMART DOCK IS NOW SHIPPING FROM VERIZON. I got my tracking number a few minutes ago.

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

I've been on the phone and in live chat with Samsung 3 separate times over the last 2 weeks, trying to get an answer about when the Smart Dock is going to be in stock. As we all know, it is listed as 'back ordered' on their website right now. Nobody can give me an answer, which is frustrating. What I am hoping is that they aren't going to hold out releasing until the 50% off coupon expires, which they very well could do. The fact that they can't be found anywhere (not even eBay) tells me that the only ones that are in the wild are review units, and that they have not even officially 'released' anything yet.

Anyone have any information to share on the subject of the Smart Dock?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dbraba01:
I saw one at a Sprint store but no discount. I am in the same boat as you, waiting for Samsung.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hausman:
Wondering if it's vaporware, myself.

Would believe it was seen at a sprint store if I saw a photo of it for sale.

It's not unusual for mfrs to create buzz for products and never release them, and cell phone accessories are among the most notoriously over-hyped and never-delivered. I don't even care about a discount - $100 isn't crazy for an HDMI-out and 3 USB ports all in one compact unit. Granted I'd love it at $50 but just think what Motorola would charge for this device and you'll feel better.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] teshgnex:
if i saw it at a sprint store, i'd buy it - did you happen to catch sprint's SKU number off the unit? I'd like to call around and see if anyone has them locally...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Link.:
I've had one on backorder, but I've not yet passed the two week threshold. For what it's worth, Verizon has them in stock online: [Click!] I don't know about in stores when the Note II releases with them, though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
Thanks for this. I ordered one. This is the first retailer I have seen with them supposedly 'in stock'. We'll see if it really is.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
Well, I ordered a couple of hours ago from Verizon, and my status already says 'shipped', although they have not provided a tracking number yet. So if you are looking for a Smart Dock and are willing to pay full price, it appears that Verizon is the place to go!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hausman:
Since one issue I've seen identified with this is that you need to install an app to force the phone into landscape to take advantage of a HDTV display, I wonder if you could stick a TecTile to the back of the dock and set it to force landscape.

Thanks for the tip - if it's really available from VZW that's temping, though I've got an Amazon credit just sitting there. Keep us posted.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zombieandrew123:

EDIT: Problem solved!

Hi all,

I just tried to install CWM Recovery on a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000, and it didn't work.

The phone was (originally) running under Android Froyo (2.2), and unrooted. First of all, I used UnlockRoot to root it, and it worked fine. I checked the root access right after using dedicated apps (rootChecker, sdMaid, etc), to confirm.

Then I wanted to install a ClockWorkMod recovery. I followed this guide (on the CyanogenMod wiki). I downloaded and installed Kies to have the USB drivers installed. Then I downloaded Heimdall (my computer is running under Windows 7) + hardcore CMW Kernel. I booted into download mode, then installed the driver. (Step 2 on the tutorial). Then next step was flashing the kernel. It suceeded, and the phone powered off. Turning it on, it just starts to make endless boot loops. The system won't start running, and it is not possible to access to the CWM recovery menu. But the download mode is still available.

So, does anyone have pointers to help me fix this issue ? i would like to have CMW installed, and then install a custom ROM (the latest Jelly Bean based Cyanogenmod release).

Thanks in advance.

Hi Donovan,

Thanks for the swift answer. And yes, it definitely worked. I downloaded this stock rom, and I flashed it successfully with Odin v3 1.85. I am running now under Android 2.3.6, but I lost the root access. Rooting it won't be a problem, hopefully. I still have access to the download mode, and to the stock recovery. I'll try once again to dive into the ClockWorkMod Recovery, and then install a Jelly Bean rom.

Dont forget the wiping before flashing jb.

Most times u have 2 flash custom twice.

If first time hangs just pull battery out, get in recovery & flash second time or third if its needed.

If it says install completed then its done

Much pleasure flashing the i9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roland_Y:
Actually, I spoke to fast, the problem just got much worse.

Okay, just after flashing the stock rom (2.3.6), everything was fine. Then I downloaded the latest stable CM10 (direct link).

I booted into recovery mode (CWM Recovery,actually) and I did try to install (i din't not forget wiping data/cache, dalvik and batt stats), but it failed, saying the package was incorrect. I tried many times, copying again and again the zip file, same problem.

Then I downloaded a previous version, CM9. I tried to installed it, and i run into a very weird error, saying an assertion failed when trying to install the package.

Something like;

And then installation program aborts (error code 7.)

My assumption, is that it looks like my phone is no longer being considered by a samsung gt i9000, according to the installer. Weird, though...

Now, I still have access to the recovery. But the phone can't boot, as everything was wiped. Much worse, I can switch to download mode, but i can't flash back the stock rom, Odin can't detect the phone (I tried with Odin v3 1.82, 1.83 and 1.87).

I'm getting desperate, any pointers ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Donovan, could you help me please:fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roland_Y:
Well, that is now solved. I tried something silly that ended up working fine.

As the cm9-smtd update package couldn't run (because of the assertion fail), I just opened the zip package, then edited the file META-INF/com/android/google/updater-script.

I basically removed the assert statement at the top of the file.

CMW recovery installed it properly, without any err. I now have an ICS based rom (Cyanogen Mod 9).

Problem definitely solved now. Going to make a Nandroid backup.

Thanks all, again.

Hi, I am trying to S-ON my HTC Sensation again.

I have run a stock ruu.exe, and changed the hboot to 1.27.0000

The device is unrooted by that if I am right.

If I follow step 5 from this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 ) via the fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 way, when the bootloader reloads, it stays S-OFF

I have tried a lot, and I hope somebody knows whats wrong.

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

... OKAY

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot reboot-bootloader

rebooting into bootloader... OKAY

It says Locked

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

I have now tried another RUU.exe and tried another way by getting rom.zip and making this PG58IMG.zip, but it still won't S-ON

HBOOT- 1.17.0008

RADIO- 10.11.9007.15_M

eMMC-boot

it doesn't say LOCKED anymore <- is that a problem?

please help me!!! anyone..
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Check the cid.. If it is supercid then SON command might not work

So change back to original cid of the phone

Then try SON

Another thing is.. The locked/unlocked status is available from 1.18 hboot only so it normal that 1.17 hboot doesn't show anything
[HTC Sensation] rickolie:
Tnx for replying :)

I am trying to get the stock cid, I have found my MID is PG5813000 (Fastboot getvar MID), and that means that my cid is VODAPE17?

I have vodafone and I am from the netherlands so I think it should be that one.

When I use fastboot oem writecid VODAPE17 this comes up:

...

(bootloader) Start Verify: -1

(bootloader) erase sector 65504 ~ 65535 (32)

OKAY [ 1.559s ]

finished total time: 1.564s

fastboot getvar cid

cid: 11111111

finished. total time: 0.019s

I have also installed the app CID getter, it said I had HTC__E11, when i tried to write it I got the same error

I can't find any solutions, help again pls
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
is the phone locked to vodafone netherlands ? then the cid you mentioned is fine

but the RUU cid is saying its HTC_E11 so try that ...

also after changing the cid

do a fastboot reboot-bootloader then verify the cid ..it should change

EDIT: earlier cid change worked fine (check it now it will change )..btw make sure that RUU cid and the cid you are giving is fine and proper one ..then only do SON
[HTC Sensation] rickolie:
That doesn't work like I allready said, after trying numorous times it still won't doesn't change.

or is there a code to verify a cid? because I can't find any.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
fastboot oem readcid

and

fastboot getvar cid

should give you your cid

try

fastboot oem writecid HTC__E11

then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

then

faatboot getvar cid
[HTC Sensation] rickolie:
That is what i am doing, won't work

look at the image I added
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Flash a gb ruu and try cid change again... Looks like mmcblk6,7 partitions got corrupted

Edit: wait are you on 1.17 hboot now?

Then go back to the ics ruu and change the cid
[HTC Sensation] rickolie:
Done that, now on hboot 1.27.0000 again, but the same error as in the image.

after I writecid HTC__E11 , and than readcid, I get HTC__E11, but when I reboot and than readcid again it is changed to 11111111

:(
[HTC Sensation] rickolie:
What should I do now?, please help me,

I'm trying this for weeks now, and would be very happy if it worked :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
there is a work around ..but for that you need to root your device again ..install busybox (ginger bread or ics both will do )

then give me the outputs of these terminal commands

(if using terminal emulator app from phone )inside shell:

su

strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4

and

strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

also verify what the CID in this output

strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
[HTC Sensation] rickolie:
terminal outputs

I have rooted again, and installed busybox, and installed the terminal app.

When I type the codes excactly like you say, I get no output? can you show me how to get output?, I just hit enter:silly:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
That's all I wanted.. It supposed to give you certain output... It should technically give you IMEI and cid as output..

Can you verify your Imei it might have changed by now
[HTC Sensation] rickolie:
Here is my IMEI: 355195000000017

just got it by dialing *#06#
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Now I'm 100% sure that... The Imei has changed.. Verify the Imei with the one present on the original box.. I can help you in rectifying it.. But I need the actual Imei first
[HTC Sensation] rickolie:
The one on the box says: 205442641317453
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Edit the Imei here.. And PM me the actual Imei and cid you want to change again again.. I'm out of station now... So 48 hrs from now i will send you detailed instructions as to what to do :)

Is there a way to securely delete any user data either before or after a factory reset on a stock Android tablet (ICS or above)? I'm working with a local computer shop who's had a couple returns because of user inexperience, but I want to make 100% sure their data is securely deleted, minimum of one pass wipe, before I give it the OK to resell

Can this be done via a Google Play app?

Sorry for the inexperience, I'm very new to Android.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
There is an app called 'Shredroid' on the Play Store that wipes deleted data, but without actually testing it by running and then attempting a forensic analysis on the phone it is impossible to state if it works or not.

It is, however, the only thing out there unless you are happy to access your device's internal storage and run "dd=" commands on the relevant partitions, which carries a serious risk of screwing your device beyond recovery.
