[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalbotre:
I have samsung Galaxy tab GSM P1000. Currently its on CM10 nightly. I am passing it to my brother. However, due to unstable behavior of the current CM10 version, I would like to downgrade it to a stable CM9 version.

Do I have to follow any specific instruction to install CM9 again or I can follow below steps,

1. go to recovery mode

2. wipe data

3. install CM9 Rom

4. install Google apps

5. reboot

Also, please suggest a stable ROM for Galaxy Tab.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
No, you can't do that.

Cm9 use older mtd partition table.

Unless someone updated cm9 updater script to detect that.

You must restock to GB, then install cwm recovery and flash cm, then gapps.

The best method is overcome method, the link is in my signature.

They are not at the final release yet but the rom is honestly fully functional, i've been using it as my daily for a at least a month now.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piken:
Hi all,

My wife and I received our Nexus 4's yesterday and rushed over to get new sim cards for them with our TMobile account. The phones work great and the performance is good.

The issue that we have been having is with our data connection. TMobile doesn't seem to see an issue, but we have only been able to connect max to HSPA+:15 when our area supports HSPA+:42 (in south, Fl). We have been averaging 6-9 mbps down and 1-1.5 mpbs up, but will get drops down to 2-3 mpbs down. This seems to happen often and is associated with the phone dropping to UMTS:3.

If I watch the phones, they will non-stop jump back and forth between UMTS:3, HSPA:10, and HSPA+:15. By jumping, I mean very fast and often.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Does anyone know of a fix for it?

Piken

What are your APN settings currently?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Network type in about phone (in this case, HSPA+15) doesn't use the number to correspond to the connection type. As far as I can tell, HSPA:15 in about phone corresponds to the HSPA+42 network.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
This. I was mostly curious due to the DL/UL speeds the OP mentioned.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
It has nothing to do with your APN.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Enter *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer. Since you just pulled it out of the box, it should default to "WCDMA Preferred", but just make sure. You could also call T-Mobile and have them reprovision your data.

Honestly, though, 6-9Mbps isn't too shabby overall for non-LTE. Yeah, some people report near-30Mbps speeds, but those are rare.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
I would probably say that was due to tower congestion but it could be a number of factors.. I am in HSPA:+15 on my campus, and outdoors down the street I can hit 22mbps but inside on the third floor of a building next to a window I can only hit 10mbps and after that I was seeing as low as 3mbps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
In the T-Mobile store i work in i get about 15mpbs to 20mpbs down and 2mpbs to 4mpbs up. Where i live about 25 miles away i get 12mpbs to 15mpbs down and no more then 2mpbs up. I know the Minneapolis/St Paul, MN area is a 42mpbs area. I only ever see HSPA+ 15 on mine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Because like I said the number in about phone doesn't correspond to the network type in that way.

Same here and I'm also in South Florida (Miami). Could it be Tmobile;s towers? Everytime I unlock the \phone it jumps from 3G to H. Never did this with my previous phones... Any news on this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access#User_Equipment_.28UE.29_categories

Strange since category 15 is 16qam mimo -- 23.4mbps

AFAIK, we're not using MIMO. hspa+21 should be cat14-- 64qam, and hspa+42 should be cat24-- 64qam dual-cell.

Correct me if I'm mistaken...

Perhaps it's a reporting error? Nonetheless, as everyone has mentioned, it refers to the category, and not your actual theoretical max.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
My G2 did that. Someone explained it to me as the phone will hang out on 3G when idle but jump to HSPA+ when active. Don't know how accurate that is though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
This is accurate. It is a battery-saving measure and that's how it's supposed to work.

For those of you with messed up data speeds on T-Mobile, try APNs listed in other threads or around the web; if that doesn't fix it, and you KNOW you're in an area with good service (HSPA+ 21 or 42), call T-Mobile and have them re-provision your data.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoldr:
Hello guys, I have a Google Nexus 7 running 4.1.2, and an AT&T Galaxy S III on 4.1.2.

I would like to send/recieve text's on my N7.

I purchased Tablet Talk, but it doesnt work well for me. It works for about 10 minutes, then nothing. It says its connected but no texts get sent from the tablet. It can recieve but wont send. And when I use Tablet Talk my WiFi speeds go from 25MBPS to 3-4 MBPS.

I keep reading people are saying that I can use Google Voice for texting.

How exactly does this work? Will the texts update on my phone and on my N7? I would like to set it up, but Id like to get some details first.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
i just open up g voice and go to the text area. The texts sync up on my s3 in g voice as well. I no longer have my g voice texts go to my carrier texts anymore, that was causing to many issues for me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dparrothead1:
You can sync GVoice with your cell or choose an individual number. I chose an individual number and only give it out to certain folks.

Also, combine GVoice with an app such as Talkatone and you can make and receive phone calls on your N7. As long as you have WiFi or teathered.

Looks like people are getting 4-5 hours of video watching off charger. I would expect you could eek out another hour or so if you were doing something less cpu intensive.

It depends on how u use it.

Brightness=Low

Wifi=Enabled

I can get around 4.5 5 hours of web browsing facebook texting and other non-heavy stuff.

[Nokia Lumia 920] shlunky:
I currently have 28% battery life left. Been off the charger for about 27 hours and since then I have done;

1.5hrs on Netflix

over 4 hours of web browsing

13 phone calls (not much talking maybe 45 minutes or so)

texting, some facebook (20minutes maybe), app updates

emails for about an hour total.

I have location services turned off, NFC turned off, and bluetooth turned off. Most of my web browsing is over wifi (80% roughly).

Not sure if that helps, take it what it is worth to you.

§
[Nokia Lumia 920] Kookas:
That's worrying. You've basically turned the phone into something I had back in 2006, and you only got 5 hours? Was NFC on?
[Nokia Lumia 920] driftnut56:
I have everything turned on except Bluetooth and I can get 12 hours from my phone. On a slow day at work I'll use it lots and that includes watching at least 1 movie via Netflix through the work WiFi connection

I think that if I use my phone lightly, I could get a full 24 hours.

P.S. I don't play games on my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] taco7712:
Hey XDA,

See if you can help out a complete noob here. I've got my Galaxy S3(T-999) for about two months now. I was on stock for about a month until I decoded to root. Charging the phone was fine.

I flashed CM 10 - charging fine.

However when I flash some TW ROM charging is at least taking quadruple the time to charge. I decided to use some HTC charger my parents found on the street & the charging is now normal.

The charging takes forever on the stock charger? Did flashing a ROM or some custom kernel I have installed cause this? I'm running on KToonez.

Is it possible to change the stock charger with insurance? I pay $7 monthly for insurance.

I've looked at other threads but they don't seem to have the problem I'm having. I believe its a faulty S3? Help?

Thanks in advance ~
[Galaxy Camera General] knoxbrder:
Since I have rooted, I changed /system/build.prop to use ro.sf.lcd_density=240 instead of the default ro.sf.lcd_density=320.

Most apps scale correctly and I can get more text/icons/etc on screen. More like a tablet.

The default launcher seems stuck at original size, but I use ADW Launcher EX usually and it scales fine. In ADW you can easily up the rows/cols to higher #s and things still look good. You can always up the font size in settings if you want, but icons and other things stay scaled.

Always make a backup of build.prop on your sdcard or someplace safe before changing it!
[Galaxy Camera General] cybriks:
Haven't yet had the time to root (first time ever I don't void the warranty the first thing I do with a new device ;)

Can you confirm that the camera works without problems with 240dpi?

In that case, rooting and Photoshop Touch will just be completely mandatory.
[Galaxy Camera General] knoxbrder:
"Without Problems?" . That is probably going a bit far ;)

Quirks I have noticed:

- default launcher only uses part of the screen; not a problem for me since I use ADW which asks the OS what the dpi is and scales perfectly

- default onscreen keyboard shrinks when you lower dpi, that can make it hard to type; but I always install Swiftkey which scales as well

I am sure there are other small things, but none of them cause me any problem at all.
[Galaxy Camera General] cybriks:
Thanks, knoxbrder.

Was mostly referring to the camera-app (the one you take photos with) and even the gallery-app. On my Samsung Note, those two have major hiccups when changing the dpi. And as the camera-app is pretty central for the Galaxy Camera, I don't want to mess with THAT Zohan.

No glitches there? – Default keyboard is replaced by swiftkey, default launcher by nova anyways ;)

I think I know what you are talking about. It's got to do with "Auto adjust screen tone" in Setting -> Display. For whatever the reason, transition between high brightness level and auto adjust screen tone isn't quite smooth. This happens all 3 of my Note 2 and S3. It's annoying as hell...

Let me know if that fix the flickering issue.

I had the same issue. Its not a hardware issue or app or anything . You have to odin back stock . I won't go into detail but there is something stuck on your partition from a kernel it sounds to me that can only be removed by going back stock . That's a know issue with the note 2 with kernels. If you flashed a kernel that's why .

I had a quick question about the sense launcher. I was wondering why the launcher won't follow the system font size rules I set. For instance, if I set the system font size to small, it doesn't change the sense launcher. I don't know if there is any way around it without rooting, but if there is I would appreciate the tip. Thanks.

I just realized that since upgrading to 4.2.1, I can now toggle GPS on and off directly from my Power Toggles widget.

Previously, it would take me to Location Settings where I would have to enable GPS (been like this for third party apps since Android 2.x or thereabouts). Confirmed it's not some trickery on the part of the widget by installing the same widget on a different device with a lower Android (4.0.4) and on that device, pressing toggle in Power Toggles still takes me to Location Settings and does not toggle GPS directly.

Anyone else notice this ?

Also, I am not referring to the Power Control widget that comes with stock android, as that is built into system and always allowed direct toggling of GPS. I am referring to a third party app downloaded from Play Store.
