[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadram:
I surprisingly didn't find any thread about this issue with the S3 so here goes.

I cannot use the front camera on my friend's S3 with any app, whether the Camera app, Skype or whatever.

In the Camera app, the main camera works fine but once I switch to the front one, the app crashes and won't work until I force stop or clear data.

- A firmware update didn't work

- A factory reset didn't work

- Warranty return is not an option

Please help me.

Give me any suggestions and I'll test them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadram:
Anybody?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cjt1984:
You cleared both data and cache?

Only other alternative is to maybe take memory card out and try it on another phone, then put it back in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadram:
I tried all of that but nothing worked.

I'm coming to the sad realization that this is a hardware issue and nothing else can be done about it.

Thanks though.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
My batteries arrived last week.

What did i bought?

Dxt 2050mAh HW-U8800 battery - From ebay $9.99 with shipping

Ecell 2430mAh Gold Battery - From amazon £11.95 with shipping

So my batteries are like that:

Stock battery (17 months old)

Dxt 2050mAh HW-U8800 battery

Ecell 2430mAh Gold Battery

(Product photos gonna be here soon)

I charged and emptied them atleast 3 times and tested them with Antutu.

Testing conditions:

dzo's Aurora ICS 4.0.4 Version 5 Update 16 @368-806 Mhz - ondemand - noop | Automatic brightness | Wifi on (but it crashes after 30 min?) | Data on | Sync on | BT and GPS are OFF | Got a few mails and whatsapp messages during tests | no calls no messages | My normal apps are working at the background.

Anyway, here are the results:

1) Stock one - Uptime > 1 Hour 37 Minutes > Antutu Battery Test Score: 289

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

2) Ecell's 2430mAh (which isn't obviliously 2430!) - Uptime > 2 Hours 36 Minutes > Antutu Battery Test Score: 468

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

3) Dmt 2050mAh - Uptime > 2 Hours 19 Minutes > Antutu Battery Test Score: 417

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

Bottomline our Aurora has a bad battery management, wifi is still crashing and drain battery and by all that it doesn't last long whatever your battery is.

P.S: I'm gonna test them with my default settings later which are: Wifi off - 368-1200 mHz

You can share your own test results too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tminus3:
Interesting topic. I recently did some testing of my own because the stock battery was on it's return.

I bought a €3.24 (shipping included) chinese replacement battery with a listed capacity of 1800mAh (5.6Wh) as I had to send the stock battery in for warranty. I have since received a replacement Cameron Cino battery with a listed capacity of 1500mAh (5.5Wh) under warranty.

Testing conditions:

Stock Huawei Huawei Gingerbread ROM | Stock Speeds | Automatic brightness | Powersaving Mode on | Airplane Mode on | tested after fresh reboot

The results:

Stock battery (12 months old) > Antutu Battery Test Score: 327 | test duration 1h49m

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

€3,24 replacement battery (about 5 full charges) > Antutu Battery Test Score: 480 | test duration 2h40m

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

Cameron Cino (1st full charge) > Antutu Battery Test Score: 592 | test duration not recorded

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

I'll give the Cameron Cino battery another few full charges to see if the results improve. Would be interesting to find out what a fresh stock battery would do.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tminus3:
An update on the cameron Cino battery. After a couple good charges I got a score of 605 this morning, which is as good as it will very likely get. Antutu fc'ed on me after installing a screenshot app, so no detailed results with test duration. I'll upload a screenshot with just the score this evening.

With this battery the phone lasts me 2 full days exactly, compared to barely 12 hours with the one year old Huawei battery. That plenty for me.

Yes, I am also interested in this sino battery please!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] -valvoline-:
I get 4-5 days on my new original battery,.rarely use wifi,background sync is turned off. 2.2.2 stock froyo system with installed juice deffender set on balanced(default). The first battery that came with the phone lost its capacity very quick,i think because i work and leave the phone too much outside on very cold and very warm weather sometimes,now i have it for backup. I noticed one realy weird thing on my phone,battery lasts almost twice longer when i dont have sdcard in my phone.When i have sdcard in the phone i never get more than 2 days on the battery. Realy weird thing,so i use my phone without sdcard. Anyone else experienced same result? Is the problem only in my phone? Its not a big deal,i dont need much space so 2gb internal memory is enough for me,i dont play games. U all can try battery life with and without sdcard and see if battery lasts longer.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
Oh boy, my score with a 14 months old standard Huawei battery is 243. So basically, a good battery like the Cameron Cino would more than double my battery life.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tminus3:
The Cameron Sino (I just noticed it's actually Sino with an 'S') battery was provided to me under warranty by replacedirect.nl. Not sure if they take foreign orders or if they are available from other sources, but this should get you started; The battery has the folowing part numbers:

Model No: CS-HU8220SL

Part No: HB4F1, BLT005
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
You can check Amazon, there are some resellers listed in Germany and one in UK.

Otherwise you can try and contact them directly: http://www.cameronsino.net

Though they only do B2B it seems.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unicorn9x:
thanks guy! with your information I do a googling and find a place to buy this battery in VN

I just buy this Cameron Sino battery in this site http://pindienthoai.net/ai2177

will post a result soon!:fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Djuganight:
But these Cameron batteries are lithium and the original ones are li-polymer....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Djuganight:
My battery is completely depleted and I'm fully charging it at least twice a day.

Antutu Batery Test result = 216 lololol

Just ordered one of these Cameron Sinai batteries from this web site hopping they are good for a few more months.

http://www.bigupbattery.com/Huawei-HB4F1-U8220-Battery-p/bupb1695.htm

Final price less than €8 including shipping!

I will post feedback when I receive it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
I bought one too i'll test my results when it arrives. I doubt that is the same original from Cameron Sino just look at price lol.. but nevermind.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Djuganight:
for the price who cares.

If not good goes straight to the garbage and buy another lolololol

But look here: http://www.bigupbattery.com/aboutus.asp

I trust its real and original Cameron Sino.

The original ones, new are selling for about the same price.....

BTW how much did you pay for yours, which is 100% original, and where did you by it from or from where was it shipped?

Let me guess, overpaid lololololol :eek:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
I bought same of you same shop that one. They say they are dealer of Cameron Sino so i think it's official shop now what we need to know if that Sino batterys are really good as I've heard.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Djuganight:
you bought the same battery and same shop as I?

Of course they are real Cameron Sino.

Dind't make any sense be more expensive than original ones and they look to be serious.

I have sent them an email questioning the brand and they claim to be Cameron Sino.

Well, for €8 we can't be to demanding, right?

Lets wait and see and then we comment ok?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
Yes djuga, i hope they say to you the truth :good:

Hi,

My screen rotation is not working. It take huge time to go in Landscape mode after that it not come in Portrait mode even i try to shake phone but no luck....!

Then i flash every ROM GB,ICS and JB but problem is still there... ￼ ￼

So there is any way to solve this problem or i have to go samsung service center....?? ￼
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
So I've had this problem for some time maybe a couple of weeks.

The problem is that I sometimes cannot wake up my device after setting it down for sometime. For example if I go to sleep get up the next morning and then screen will not turn on. I have to hold power button down for multiple seconds and press it multiple times. Also one recent occurrence of this there was massive battery use. See attached photo.

If anyone knows why this is occurring or knows any remedies that would be appreciated.

Using PA 2.54

Franco Kernel

I can provide more information if needed. Just ask.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regalpimpin:
I was having serious issues with my 16gb. Very hard to turn on, sometimes hold power for 10 seconds, sometimes 30, sometimes 5.. all over the place. And it only started after I believe the 4.2 update.

Also, it was draining battery while off. Charge it overnight, leave it off the entire time, come back 8 hours later. Turn it on and only have 50% battery.

Sometimes the charging animation would lock up while off as well. And if the device was turned off, and you plug it in to charge, it turns on. It shouldn't.

I think I've narrowed it down to the bootloader. My bootloader was at 4.13, and Flashing the 4.2.1 and 4.1.2 factory images didn't help.

Last night I finally fixed it. I ran the 4.1.1 factory image. Which put the 3.34 bootloader back in place. This wipes the device. So I flashed the recovery back and then reflashed Paranoid Android 2.99B6. All is good now, it turns on like it should, doesnt come on when plugged in, etc.

Meanwhile a new 32gb I have I can flash the 4.2.1 factory image, and I have no issues with that one.

Which bootloader are you on?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
Hmm. That seems to be the exact same issue I have!

I just checked my bootloader and I have 3.41. But I never went up to 4.2. I stayed at 4.1.2 with PA 2.54.

Hmm. Maybe I'll try what you tried!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootbrain:
You can flash the 4.1.3 bootloader from JB 4.2 and use it with 4.1.2. I am, and it works perfectly and I never have a problem booting or bringing it out of sleep mode.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I think it was just your Franco kernel. Kernels are typically the cause.

I'm running PAb6 and no problems.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
Hi, which kernel are you using? I just changed my bootloader back to 3.34 and my kernel to motley. See if that helps.

Thanks for the tips.

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

seems after flashing a new kernel to motley the problem still occurs...

I think ill factory reset. reinstall PA gapps and everything... see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
anyone else have any insights into this... flashing a new kernel and it still occurs
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icytrey:
Sometimes you have to set you're minimum cpu frequency above 200 using one of the various cpu or kernel tuners
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Just had this similar problem. I drained the battery to about 11% on wednesday night, so i shut it off and charged it to 100% on that very same night. Turned it on on friday night (It should have been turned OFF all this while) and it wont start. After the help of the AC charger, it came back on and found out the batt was at 0%. Which should not be the case even if the tablet was accidentally switched on because theres no way it can drain from 100% to 0% in just 2 days. And everytime i leave it plugged into AC it suddenly turns on and shuts down due to low power. Am using TWN ROM V1 (Android 4.2.1) with M-Kernel A17 kernel if that has anything to do with it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
So I think I have it figured out that if I set my wife policy to keep awake always no problems, but if it is set to keep awake only during charging, I will have problems

I will try it out on a higher cpu setting with semi awake
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Just wiped the device and flashed CleanROM 3.0 on it and NOTHING else (No extra scripts, custom kernels, radios..etc) and it seems to have been stabilized. Although the battery drained pretty quick while i was using it last night, but I was installing apps and setting up stuff on the nexus so its not a very accurate benchmark. Will continue to monitor.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
Hmm, I see. Well that's great that you solved it

It seems after switching my minimum cpu to 200. It still froze when I was trying to wake it up this morning

Maybe a full wipe is needed...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Yes you should have done a full wipe like I did. All still seems to be good on my side. Looks like for my case it was M-Kernel a17 causing the problem. I doubt such a thing would happen due to a faulty bootloader.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
So I did a full wipe of my tablet and instead installed PA 2.99 b6, flashed correct gapps, then flashed the beats audio v3b2 and the same thing occurs.

im using franco kernel v30 no OC just gpu oc to 446.

my tab if i leave it unplugged and set wifi policy to keep wifi on during sleep only when plugged in I get this problem that I cannot fix... which is the tablet freezes or something and i cannot turn the screen back on until i hold the power button, Then turn it back on. Also on a side note for the first time this morning, the back of my tab was hot, which never occurred when i was on PA 2.54

Any insights on this issue anyone?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
full wipe and flash a ROM that comes with the stock kernel. I did that with CleanROM 3.0 and its still working fine to this day. Will probably try flashing franco or M-kernel again when I have the time. But for now it seems that a custom kernel might be the issue here.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
Thanks for all your replies. It seems to have fixed it after updating my ROM im really not sure what happened with PA 2.54 but with PA 2.99b6/8 it has not freezed at all, but then again the min cpu freq i have is at 340 heh...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hawkwind:
Does anyone use or know of a good sound dock to use with our note 2?

There are plenty of options for the iPhone/ipod but android seems quite limited.

Phillips seem to have a fairly good range from budget to higher end.

Or maybe is it better to have just a speaker(s)

I am not wanting one to use as an alarm just purely for music.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] CGI_Ram:
Yeah, I love my bluetooth Jawbone JamBox!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hawkwind:
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Both speakers look interesting, the Jambox seems to have some good reviews and is near to the top end of what i am wanting to spend.

Sound quality is a factor and i know i am not going to get state of the art with my budget nor ear splitting volume, i have my stereo for that anyway :) the Jambox again seems to have good reviews for sound quality the mini boombox does not have quite the same reviews although there is quite a price difference between the two.

One advantage of these as opposed to a dock is they are portable.

Any other recommendations on other speakers or docks or user views on the two items mentioned above.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Vanquiz:
I was in Target couple days ago, and saw Bose Soundlink and BigJambox, same price, but I'm more interested in the Jambox, the demo song, it does indeed shows 3D virtual surround. Not sure if it still have 3D with non binaural recorded songs, but it's amazing. Might get that, need to save some dough first though, at$300 it's not cheap for me.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hawkwind:
Thanks, do you have a link to the exact model you mention.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rEVOLVE:
With the change to lightning from the Apple 30 pin, there should be a ton of discounted speakers and docks made for the older gen iOS devices. With Bluetooth to 30 pin adapters like this dockboss air : http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockBoss-air.html , you should be able to find a good solution. This is actually how I've tapped into my car stereo which has an iPod connector with my android devices. The nice side effect is that it passes the media controls as well, so the track advance/reverse can be controlled through it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nm8:
http://www.amazon.com/Altec-Lansing...8-2&keywords=altec+lansing+bluetooth+speakers

despite the negative reviews, I never had any problem with mine, and I have connected it to maybe 30 different phones and pda's because I bring it to work and my colleagues use it... maybe those people who gave a negative review do not know what they are doing to connect the unit....

Edit:

The Altec speaker is more on the clinical side... so it is good for listening to musical, voacls, rock, etc... it lacks the very deep bass of other speakers like the Bose or Logitech Boombox which I have owned... but it compensates for it's audio clarity... If you like bigger boomy bass, go for the logitach boombox, otherwise go for the the Altec... the Bose is not worth it IMHO.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vjolt830:

I was going to go with the Altec Lansing recommended on the previous page but the price had shot up above and beyond what was our original top end price.

I cannot say what the sound is like yet as it is a Christmas present but it seems to get a lot of great reviews especially for the price.

Thanks for everyone who took the time to reply :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Steelyglint:
Treated myself to an early Xmas gift and picked up the Samsung unit. Easy connection to my Note and to my wife's iPhone (yes, I know it's grounds for divorce).

I have the sound stack from soundfreaq. They make a really good product from my experience.

I did a review of it here:

I have reviews coming up of specific android units from philips, iluv, and gracedigital. The grace digital dock is even note 2 specific!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hawkwind:
Just an update on my Soundfreaq sound kick.

I am really impressed with the speaker, amazing clear sounds with no distortion, volume level is great as well.

Not for anyone who is looking for deep bass, but this little speaker is perfect for needs.

I like the usb slot at the back so i can charge my phone as it plays if i need to.

Really happy and a bargain at £74 when i bought it.
