[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Anyone else had really bad delays with the phone app when placing outgoing calls since they upgraded to 195 fw?

The phone was working fine when I was on 303, but since the upgrade it has been painful. I often select a contact, but nothing happens so I wait a few seconds, still nothing happens so I select it again and then it makes the call. When I hang up it makes the call again!

Anybody else experienced this and k ow how to get around it? (If I can't find a fix I might go back to 303 which actually worked!)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Oh, and and I'm on Orange UK in case that makes any difference.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] indigolemon:
No issues at all here. Mine was on 3, but I flashed a generic firmware to get rid of all the three branding. 195 vanilla Sony and running sweet.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfuego:
What constitutes a long time?

I never really noticed the difference. What constitutes a long time?

I have shortcuts on mu home screen to my main contacts. The time it takes to call someone not compared to my last handset is quicker as I just tap an icon and BOOM!

I'm on orange too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
It was taking 10-15 seconds.

It's been annoying the crap out of me so I re-flashed 303, no root or anything this time and then did the upgrade to 195 and it's working fine again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
A little update: problem re-occurred intermittently after I did my factory reset.

I've eventually traced the issue to ADW Launcher. Not sure why it is happening but I can resolve it by switching to Xperia launcher or to Nova, and and then reproduce it by switching back to using ADW.

Just thought I'd post the update in case anyone else experiences similar difficulties!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zilbermm:
Hi,

Yesterday i flashed my I9100T (running 4.0.4) with a custom kernel in order to root it, and the know camera bug appeared. Now i see a blank screen through my camera and can't watch videos.

I tried to load this zip file -

I9100-404-CameraFix-CustomKernels.zip (attached)

but it detects I9100T instead of I9100 and aborts.

Is there one that fits I9100T?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanschlong:
For some reason, my tab 2 randomly powers itself off. I'm on the latest CM10 nightly 11302012. Is there something I'm missing ?? or a piece of software to monitor whats happening ??
[HTC Incredible S] ledzgio:
Yesterday my phone shutted because my battery, I connected to my car and charged a while, I got out from charging and using 2-3 minutes more and battery died again. When I got home I connected it to AC power and powered on, It was working without problem. I left my phone maybe 1 hour charging and when I took it again it was dead: screen dead, no life signal, just the led blinking slowly when connected to power (either AC and USB)...tried to take off battery but nothing. Today I connected it to PC and windows has recognized it but cannot identify it (on the PC the classic USB device not recognized error with yellow triangle on top) and the led is always blinking.

Any idea? should I have to buy a new phone?

thanks
[HTC Incredible S] mohdsubaie:
Sounds like your battery is dead. Try replacing your battery
[HTC Incredible S] ledzgio:
Do you think is a battery problem? phone should boot even without a battery when connected to power...or not?
[HTC Incredible S] thoufiq72:
Try Running some POST tests. As in, Power off your device and wait for few seconds. Then Press and hold your power key and your volume down key. You should be able to access your Bootloader. (If you have Rooted your device, you could access your recovery and clear the battery stats although your device's condition seems peculiar/critical). Its worth a shot If you ask me.
[HTC Incredible S] ledzgio:
I have already tried it but nothing, cleared dalvik and battery stats..I cannot understand whats going on. Now phone is working again but it cannot maintain battery, I mean I kept it in charge all the night but when I power on the phone it shuts down just when it starts android (thats strange because I went to a store yestarday and tried a new battery but it didn't worked, when got home I tried to power on it again and it started)...this is driving me crazy!!

edit: I turned it on, plugged in AC charger and phone after some minutes told me that (I don't remember the exact message) power needed by the phone is more than the charger could provide...

edit2: now it is on and it is charging (USB) and it doesn't charge more than 21%...really strange
[HTC Incredible S] TheMegosh:
Odd that this hasn't been mentioned but perhaps try a different usb cable? Different port? Seems obvious but you never know. Cables can deteriorate.
[HTC Incredible S] ledzgio:
I have tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers...same result. I have flashed a new ROM, plugged in for charging and now is stuck on 15% battery (5 minutes aga was 16%, it discharges while plugged in).

Hi,

I managed to get my hands on a Qi charging stand for the Nexus 4.

I put a review up of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5pkl-BYmaSQ

I'm not sure if the Qi charging thing with a stand is a totally new concept, I just thought it added something a little bit more useful to the wireless charging concept.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sinocelt:
Pretty cool.

1) How fast does it charge the phone?

2) When will it be available?

3) How much will it cost?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bleuiko:
So when can we buy these things cheap?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SunSDK:
Nice where do I buy some?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] LR_Jordan:
1) It takes a while, not as slow as USB though. A couple of hours approx.

2 & 3) Not sure, soon and cheap I hope!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phil001:
looks good, thanks for video

but...surely its not 'cheap' until there's a price?! :confused:

I've recently updated from 4.1.2 (rooted with custom kernel), that requires returning my nexus to stock settings, i'm just wondering if i need to do the same by updating from 4.2 to 4.2.1? The same I'm referring to is backup, unroot, flash it to stock and then do the update?

If not will i lose any data when doing such minor update?

Hello all, I have a Nexus S device.

Before JB I use to flash CM every day and it works great. Now I have installed official JB and I want to speed-up my little machine.

Which ROM/kernel do you recommend?

I need stability and battery life.

Thanks and best regards.

Cm10 stable version with marmite 7.1 version... Best combo for me :D

I have this combo too. Everything is smooth and the battery life is very good.

[Nexus S General] jayjay3333:
There is no "best" combo and often these types of threads are closed. Why? Every phone runs in a different way. I say pick 1 ROM and kernel, give it 2 days and then switch it up. It is easy to clean install with TB. Example: try Cm10 stable version with latest marmite. Then try it with Matr1x kernel, etc. Then try AOKP with marmite, Matr1x, Trinity, etc. then try another ROM with ....

Find what is best for YOU. We all like different things and all our phones perform different on different combos.

Flash and have fun! :D
[Nexus S General] jlazkano:
Thanks!

I will try CM10 with marmite.

Best regards.
[Nexus S General] hp420:
I'd recommend Paranoid Android with matr1x kernel....lightning fast, very stabile, fully-featured, CM-based, and the best battery life of any combo for me ;)
[Nexus S General] gfinockio:
Everyone has their own preferences, so really it comes down to what you are looking for. Personally I'm running Strawberry (Metal Dragon Overlord or whatever) and Marmite 7.1. I'm not quite ready to test the 4.2 ROMs, but I know people who are running them and loving them.

I'm coming from AOKP JB milestone1 which was the best JB ROM i had tried since to days ago.I now have Jellyshot with marmite kernel and everything is smooth and stable.If you want a JB rom try this.

Could somebody port jellyshot to the ns4g?
[Nexus S General] Netblast:
Ok people,

I have CM10 and followed your advise.. just flashed Marmite 7.1 kernel

I was expecting to see in kernel version (in phone settings) something like Marmite 7.1 blabla.. instead I see an 3.0.52-bedalus_CM-0347--blablabla..

I know mr Bedalus is the developer of Marmite, but anyway I just wanna make sure and make this stupid question.. :p

:cowboy:Do you see the same blabla kernel version as I do or have I somehow not flashed the kernel right

forgive my noobness :angel:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiwas:
Hi guys,

I tried finding a solution for this, but couldn't. Hopefully it hasn't been answered a lot from before.

What I'm looking for is a way to restore my touchwiz setup after upgrading my ROM. Using Link2sd for my apps, most of them disappear from TW as the boot script hasn't been updated to mount the external sd yet. And so I have to recreate all my shortcuts.

Anyone know how to back this up and restore it?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Question asked multiple times .

Answer is no.

But you can restore the data only from a Nandroid backup . That should give you most of what you asked for but no guarantee old apps will all work on new firmware .

Thanks :) I'm not concerned about compatibility, but rather that I'm losing all the shortcuts every time link2sd starts without its scripts ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapro:
Hi folks.

I am looking into installing my Nexus 7 permanently in the car, needing the use of being able to charge it, and use an USB DAC at the same time.

This page promises to have an ROM that is able to do that, but I have been unable to get that to work at all. I do not want to upgrade to 4.2.x due to the known bugs, so it's 4.1.2 for me at the moment.

http://goo.gl/fQ2LL

Using a stock ROM i am able to start/stop playback with Tasker registering "AC charge" - How do i go about this when using an OTG-Charge ROM ?

I do not want to charge the tablet when i'm not driving the car, what happens to the USB DAC when the power is cut, does it lose sync with the Nexus 7, and requires a reboot to function again?

So in short this is what I had in mind:

Ignition on -> Tasker registering AC power, starts playing music.

Ignition off -> Tasker registering power is off, pauses music, tablet go to sleep after at set amount of time.

I am realising that this may not even be possible, I can't see how the USB connection should survive, when the power is being cut, but maybe some of you more experienced guys can chime in on this subject.

I would rather not make any modifications to the tablet, but if this is neccessary to make it work, i'll have to do it (e.g. feed power directly to the battery with Li-Ion charging circuit.

Any other ideas of letting Tasker know that the car is started ? I have a bluetooth handsfree in the car, but that is connected to my iPhone, so I cannot use that as a wakeup function when that connects as Tasker do not have any "Blutooth Near" functions...

I've tried to connect 5V to the POGO pins on the side, but it won't charge the battery this way (it's enabled in the 4,2,x ROM afaik)

I've wired up my USB OTG cable like this: http://goo.gl/vqc3F

Any ideas is very welcome, as I cannot see how to do this.

Regards,

// Per.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuchar09:
I'm looking at doing the same thing but also a USB flash drive and also a Joycon EX Steering Wheel Control PC Interface via USB.

What I'm debating on doing is instead of hooking the charger to the ignition to turn on n off with he car I'm thinking about using constant power and hooking up an input on the joy on to the ignition 12V and setting the screen to come on n off with the car.

Unfortunately this means the tablet will be on the charger 24/7 but not sure how else to make sure everything reconnects as it should.

Anyone else have any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutog:
I'm planning on doing a car install with all the bells and whistles also:

Joycon Ex

USB DAC (E10 or Behringer?)

USB Hard drive

Powered USB Hub

From what I've read of other threads, some people have trouble getting the DAC to reconnect after power changes, and some don't. In general, the rule of thumb is as long as the N7 is booted with the DAC attached, you should be able to unplug (or stop powering it), and then start again. There seem to be some behavioral exceptions with this (e.g. if you don't stop audio playback before putting the tablet to sleep with tasker, when it wakes up, you may need to fiddle with it before it starts working again).

It's a long thread, but I'd recommend reading this:

rootzwiki.com/topic/30615-can-you-charge-usb-host-mode-simultaneously/page__st__140

Timur has provided multiple patches that are trying to satisfy everyone's exceptions in trying to get this working.

Hi everyone

In case this thread is in the wrong subforum – I apologise in advance!

I’m going to stay in New York for three weeks and I was wondering if there is any recommendation for a guy from Europe who won’t abstain from mobile surfing. :p

Are there any short-term data plans or something else?

I don't understand why wifi calling is so important to people. Especially if it means you can have multi window without it. Anyways doesn't everyone have unlimited minutes these days?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
I agree!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] meoshe:
For me its the fact that reception is horrible in my apartment, if you go outside its fine. I dont like going outside just to make a call every time so the wifi calling gives me reception inside.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Reception is the issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Secret ninja:
I guessing it's free and reception issues. I'm not a big fan though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sigsour:
I live out in the boonies absolutely no signal within a few miles from the house. Wish I didn't have to have it esp since I love that All Star so much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmw407:
I live in a townhouse within viewing distance from a cell tower and yet in my house I can get maybe 1 signal at one of the house (sometimes none at all). If I wanted to make a call I had to go to the garage. So wifi calling is important to me.

I'd be willing to sacrifice wifi calling for a multi-window rom if (and only if) I found a reliable option for wifi calling that's free, because t-mobile's wifi calling works very well for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
It ABSOLUTELY is reception for many people. T-Mobile's fantastic when you get a good signal, but step inside any building made of concrete, or a brick house, or a house with other signal attenuating characteristics and you're screwed, dead zone. It's why I dumped TMo a couple of years ago, though I came back to try their Note II and newer HSPA+42 data service.

My office building is still a data dead zone, but voice calls come in if I'm near a window. My house, though, TMo's gone from a dead zone two years ago to a full-bars signal.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jinra321:
minutes aren't free. still eats into your monthly rate plan for minutes, but providers better reception. my house has horrible to no signal so I use wi-fi calling not necessarily so people can call me, but so my phone doesn't eat up battery looking for network all the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
If you are on an eligible plan you can add the free wifi calling as a additional service. My grandfathered preferred plan won't allow the free wifi calling service... It deducts minutes from my allotment. There are parts on my house that get poor reception so I use it for that purpose.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] samklee:
As most have mentioned, reception is the main reason. I appreciate wifi for vocal quality. Typically, wifi calling is higher quality, though can be plagued with volume issues on some phones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:

i have it on my dads add a line line 500 minutes unlimited messages 2 gigs. can you not add to prepay??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
You can add the feature but it will use your minutes. Prepaids "do not" qualify for this plan. The only benefit for prepay to activate this feature is if you have poor reception this will allow you to still make a phone call.

As others have said, it is free and won't use up your allotted minutes only if you are on a qualifying plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] casperi:
I will give you a more detailed run down.

Actually under a corp plan all wifi calls are free if you add it to that account. Also it doesnt always take mins away. Its more like 70 no 30 yes. From my testing over the last two years.

I work in network security which means I'm in a lot of "heavy secure "wink wink" data centers etc that have zero cell signal for a reason. They use to even bar camera phones. These days they just put a really thin tape over your cameras front & back. So if you even tried removing partly before seeing the "SO" at the exit it will tear and then you got big issues. That being said voip coms are allowed as long as their tied to your imei number like T's.

So wifi calling is needed when I and my guys are at those locations. Other uses as many have said is reception from a poor signal. Tmobile has a great network in the city, its when u get out in the boonies where there's nothing alot of the time. Those times I just click on my VZW MiFi and make call that way or pull over at a McDonalds. Kinda of a end around but being with T allows us alot of flexibility where the other carriers relies on there massively fake reception maps.

Tmobile is great in that it also allows me personally to swap phones easy.

There kinda like a rich man's garage with a dozen super cars, I wake up and pick at will what phone to fly with that day. Doing that on VZW is a pain. Plus the cost for corp plans with Tmobile is about one third of that of VZW or the Death-Star. The only option the other providers have is a wifi extender which requires and hard line and a GPS signal. Try getting that through x amount or so feet of concrete.

As a side note with reception where in the middle of nowhere Ky the only cell and data service was Tmobile.

Typically for me what phone I use depends on what Rom its on. I love cm9/10 but as everyone knows it doesnt support T's wifi calling features. So if im going to be in a secure environment I will have to grab one thats on a samsung kernel with wifi calling. Sometimes I can get away with wifi/google voice or my corp voip pbx but nothing compares to T's 93kb voice codec period.

We never get the excuse that "I couldn't call in cause there wasn't signal" from my guys. So productive has gone up a fare amount due to this tech it also allows better live tracking cause T's employee finder works over any data connection even when outside gps isnt available. So there's more security that my guys feel as we always know where they are if something like a "misunderstanding" comes up.

Does that help? Lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] trevor7428:
Lol ya that explains it a lil. I live in Las Vegas and I never lose signal anywhere. I guess that why I never understood. But when people are saying no reception is that mean no data either? Cause even if you have no reception but have data. Can't you use a 3rd party app that makes calls over data (not wifi)
