Getting user opinion ain't the same thing and avoids a lot of hassle and gives a better understanding for example if I and several people suggest a to friend to get a DROID instead of the closed Apple iOs i am doing him a lot of favor, saving him time and money.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Between the two CM10 is faster but graphics processing might be slightly less buggy in the stock, anyway the current stock jb is a leaked version and it won't be the same as an official stock version. I recommend you use CM9 stable if looking for a great gaming experience. Or if you are insistent on JB then look at other custom roms like the one I mentioned before.

Hi Android devs,

I'm a grad student at Brown University (USA) and also an Android developer during my free time. I'm collecting data on developer experience with power management when developing applications. Have you every thought about how much energy your digital masterpiece spends? Do you try to optimize it in order to be energy-efficient? How do you do so? If not, why?

If you have developed apps for Android or another smartphone/tablet platform, I'd like to hear your opinion. This survey is entirely non-profit and solely for academic purposes. Answering the questionnaire shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. As a gift of appreciation and to encourage developers to speak up, I'm raffling a $10 Amazon gift card. This is a symbolic gift, since experience has showed me that if a prize is too high, respondents will try to inflate the results, which ends up invalidating the survey data.

If you have ten minutes to spare, here is the link: https://brown.us2.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_7UHYWCp7MjAsZHD

Disclaimer: The survey is anonymous and does not track identifying information (unless you want to enter the card lottery, but you don't have to).

If you don't want to take the survey, but would like to share your experiences here, feel free to do so.

Thanks.

So first off, I'd really prefer to use the stock messaging app over Handcent. I just like the feel and look of it better. However, I am having a rather annoying issue where notifications of new messages aren't coming through correctly. I have it set to turn on screen and open quick message on receipt, but usually the phone just vibrates and the screen turns on to the lock screen. Some times the screen doesn't come on at all. I'm currenly on the latest CM10 nightly, but remember this problem from when I was running stock (which was why I switched to Handcent in the first place).

Another thing I've noticed - this happens on Handcent and Stock Messaging App - is that in the quick message screen new messages appear twice or sometimes three times, but inside the app itself the message is only there once. I would love some help here.

Thanks!

Hey all,

This is the first time I post something.

Last weekend I upgraded my phone to CM 9.1

Phone specs:

Galaxy S2

kernel: ge9cef6c blinky-ghost

Cyanogenmod 9.1 stable

While installing I wiped out all caches etc..

Now ... when I play an app:

usually a 3D game. The game freezes so that no button works. I have to get the battery out of it.

It happened a couple of other times with non 3d apps too.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

good read, you need to work on your rhythm though, i can tell by the line length you were going for iambic tetrameter but you kinda failed.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmos929:
Alright, here's the thing... My mk16i has a locked bootloader... Even still i ventured to attempt unlocking it through test point method and s1tool.

Apparently all steps worked, the s1 boot thing is now reported with an lowercase letter (just as mentioned in tutorial) which got me pretty hyped up...

but I just seem to be unable to get into fastboot mode, I do get the blue led for like 2 seconds and then is changes to orange and cell phone goes to battcharge mode (black screen with big batt charging icon).

The only thing I have not tested is first flashing the stock rom... I dunno if having custom rom has something to do.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
You've not unlocked it properly.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmos929:
Well... I spent more hours into this last night, here's what happened:

Apparently test point method and s1tool can unlock the bootloader, I got notifications from s1tool, flashtool and Omnius that my phone was already bootloader unlocked... BUT it seems that the real limitation for "bootloader unlock allowed: no" phones is that fastboot is disabled, and searching through all the forums I only found one post of someone stating that no dev has been able to enable fastboot on these devices.

So, I even restored (relocked) the bootloader with s1tool in order to now try Omnius.

The good news is, Omnius works... I really have no idea how it did it, but Omnius did unlock my "unlock allowed: no" phone, and it uses the same test point method... the bad news is that it required me to buy an "Android single unlock license" for 15 euros... so I really hope it will be worth it.

That's all.

Good luck everyone.

According to Android Sensor Box and Elixer2, we do have a gyroscope.

Are you able to fix the EXIF issue that has been present since the first CM10 release.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Can anyone confirm the camera works? I've tried so many zips and keep getting the error, "gallery stopped working" when opening the camera. The gallery works just fine.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Yeah, this camera works just fine.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Works with CM9 FT as well. Thank you
[LG Nitro HD] Flyview:
What is the EXIF issue? I noticed a lot of my pictures are dated 2002 but they seem to be taken before I moved to CM10.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
What did you move to CM10 from? I noticed it when Richardo released the first preview of CM10 and its been on every ROM I've tried based on CM10. As an experiment, I went back to stock and the issue wasn't there.
[LG Nitro HD] Gogeta5026:
Force closes whenever I try to use any of the options in menu. Can't crop my pictures but the camera is AWESOME!
[LG Nitro HD] david.degraw54:
That's because this .zip only includes the gallery and camera, no libs. Find the "Android 4.1 to 4.2 thread and download that .zip then extract it. Open it and go to /system/lib and copy all the ones that start with "libjni" and the one called liblightcycle.so and move them to your /system/lib, set the correct permissions and reboot.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Works fine with Liquid Nitro
[LG Nitro HD] Flyview:
From CM9FT but I don't remember seeing the issue there.
[LG Nitro HD] woodardbg:
this worked for the editing, however still no photospere, any more suggestions
[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
Photosphere isn't even an option on my camera in settings. Only pic, vid or panorama. Is it supposed to be included in this zip? None of the other I've tried worked except for this one, but still no photosphere.
[LG Nitro HD] david.degraw54:
It wasn't supposed to fix photosphere, just the editing. But I read that Gmscore.apk was needed for photosphere to work but I believe I tried it and it still didn't work. Gonna try again now

Edit: also found out that liblightcycle.so is part of photosphere too. But I moved everything required to their correct folders and correctly set permissions and photosphere still doesn't come up in camera.

Edit 2: Just tried changing 2 values in my build.prop to make the camera think its a galaxy nexus but that doesn't work either. Apparently making these changes was a fix for people getting the error "Sorry, your device is not supported" so they had the photosphere option it just didn't work till they made that change but that's not our problem. For me, the photosphere option doesn't even show up.

Hello!

Last week i received my new S3 from Rogers, in Canada. I rooted it so that i could use titanium backup to restore the data of all my apps.

Today i tried to update to Jelly Bean, but i was having problems, so i decided to to a factory reset, and start anew. To my surprise, when the phone rebooted, it was missing all of google apps, including google play. I did another factory reset. But it ended up the same. I even did a factory restore with the s3 toolkit. But it was the same. The system looks Ok. App drawer and settings menu are accesible, and all home screens. But there is no google play, google music, calendar, gmail, etc.

I do not know what else I can do.

I loaded Nova Launcher on my phone and it was basically like Superuser was borked and I had to give permissions for root to all my apps again, but they still didn't work. Nothing was fixed until I deleted Nova. Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to switch launchers without messing up root without S-OFF?
[HTC Droid DNA] nabbed:
You don't need root to use another launcher (aside from widgets in the drawer issue.) What the heck are you doing?:laugh:
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Nothing special. I downloaded Nova from the Play Store, switched to it and started customizing it. I opened up Root Explorer or Titanium Backup (I forget, and Superuser wouldn't let me give root access). I tried reflashing Superuser, deleting all previously authorized apps in SU, reinstalling the apps themselves, and nothing worked. So, I deleted Nova and everything worked again after authorizing again.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I installed the Next Launcher about 4 hours ago. I don't know what happened last time, but this thing is SWEET!!! I don't have any issues with Superuser and I've tweaked it to perfection. I suggest this launcher for EVERYONE.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorpion667:
I count 4 to 6 stutters, or frame drops on EVERY individual vertical swipe. It happens in third party apps, in settings, in tapatalk, virtually anywhere where there is vertical scrolling. I can reproduce it on Rogers, Bell and Telus official ROM's with a clean wipe each time and even a format from the stock recovery which deletes all non-stock folders on /sdcard. It happens even if the app I am scrolling vertically in is the only one open.

Sure, everything else is smooth-er, but I spend most of my time on this phone swiping vertically, on tapatalk, facebook etc. For my usage, it feels just like 4.0.4. I'm scrolling a $500 device at 2 frames per second. Do you know what year this is?

They call it butter but it feels more like a dull blade scraping on oakwood.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] optimus43:
Since vertical scrolling was also a problem for u in ics(as per your post in another thread) I think your problem is not the rom. I had no vertical scrolling issues in ics either
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bagbug:
the update is pretty lame IMO. I have 2 games that are now almost unplayable, I hate the grey background in the notification bar, the home button doesnt "wake up" the phone in the app it was before, the zooming on the side in the browser is really annoying, and the list goes on.

The only benefit I can see is Touchwiz is a little bit snappier, thats it.

Anyone knows how to go back ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] onei0077:
Sounds the most likely. I too had and still have frame drops when vertical swiping. It occasionally crashed the xda app, that hasnt happened with jelly bean so far.

Check to see that power saving is not enabled. It under clocks your phone. I found turning it off increased my performance massively. And it was enabled by default.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Guts N Glory:
Mine is pretty snappy and smooth. I do not have the framing problem at all. In fact the scrolling has gotten much smoother. The battery problem has been solved with the cell standby and with regards to the waking up the phone with the home button, mine brings me back to the app, but I have read on other threads that some are having issues. I upgraded via Kies, but I doubt it would make a difference.

I know my friend was having issues until he did a factory reset, and everything got fixed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radeon_x:
The "home button wake returns to home" issue is a real deal breaker for me. Not worth the minor improvements IMHO (and I would classify the performance improvements as minor at best). Back to ICS for the time being. Pretty disappointed...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Maybe it's an app you have that isn't compatible with Jelly Bean. There were some pretty major changes. I had bad lag, until I realized it was the negative brightness overlay from Lux. Why don't you find other people with the lag and compare app lists?

And, my home button to wake up brings me back to whatever app I was in.

Of course you can go back.......look in the development threads for the stock ICS ROM. What website do you think you're at? ;)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shugga101:
Maybe its the app itself and not the JB update. Ever think of that? I know Facebook and a few other apps will always be jumpy or stutter. They just aren't very good apps. Thats why facebook is working on improving their app. All in all, do you really expect a phone to be soooo powerful. Just appreciate the technology you have and move on.

On the other hand, you could of had a bad update. Bad internet connection or the process messed up during the upgrade. You can find the upgrade around here and flash through Odin to see if it fixes this.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
I was eagerly anticipating the update but overall I was not pleased with it. My battery life was HORRIBLE. Normally by the end of the work day i'd be at 40-50% while on ICS, after I OTA'd to Jelly Bean, i'd b lucky to be at 20%...this is with even less usage since I had to watch my battery life more. This is with all the bloat apps frozen as well using TiBu.

I should have tried a factory reset and saw how it performed then but I ended up loading my first custom ROM. I went with Task's AOKP based ROM last night, so far so good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaisun:
Thats wierd, i have the complete opposite experience... i have found that my battery life has improved dramatically. Telus stock with power saving on and auto brightness. i unplug my phone @ 7am and by 10 pm i am still at 80 %, where i used to have to plug it in every night as i would be down to ~60% by 10pm. i average 60-90 mins of screen on time a day.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
On ICS, I would unplug at 7am, use about 2-3 hours of screen time during the day, auto brightness, no power saving mode. By the time I go to bed it would be ~30%.

On Jelly Bean, I dropped ~30% while intermittently using WhatsApp for 45 minutes yesterday while waiting for a haircut. This will be my first full day on Task's AOKP ROM. It's definitely faster and smoother. I have to monitor the battery throughout the day.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GDF01:
Faster, smoother, improved battery life, google now... Nah, not disappointed at all.
