Who cares, really?

I'd rather have my 2Gb completely filled up as it's most likely just cached applications anyway.

If need be, this memory will be released anyway by Android's garbage collector.

On the other hand, history shows us that every new iteration of Android needs more RAM, so that's kinda expected.

My GS1 only has 512Mb which is more than enough if running Android 2.x (Eclair, Froyo & Gingerbread) but rapidly falls short RAM if running ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bagbug:
free memory is waisted memory for some. I disagree when it comes to devices using a battery. Processes use memory and battery life...

I hate to see apps running in background even when I didn't use them since the last reboot. Self running apps grabbing infos about me suck. If Google dont want to stop these behaviors then its time for a new OS.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
You got it wrong.

Cached apps in memory do not actually run.

They are just left there so that they can start more quickly the next time you use them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stewartsoda:
RAM has to refresh whether it is used or not. The RAM has no idea if a particular bit is used or not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radeon_x:
The last ICS update also lowered the RAM to 1.59GB. I believe it has to do with how much RAM is assigned to the GPU. It is normal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
I only care because of my past experience: the more apps I load, the more memory gets used, and the slower it runs. I tend to use a log of apps. Memory was a struggle on the ole' Captivate.

I want this phone to perform good for a while.

So I went back to EL26 to do some wipes and then flashed EL29 one click that was rooted and then took the OTA updates, I did not realize about the superuser app. I know have the latest official and I cannot remove superuser, I want this gone because I am going to try to get a replacement phone.

Is there a OCEL29 or FF18 that is not rooted? I have only seen rooted ones.

Thanks

Thanks but doesn't that save your data? So I would still have the superuser app in the app drawer even if I flashed that or will that remove superuser app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
That is rooted. You need the unroooted restore one click to unroot and get rid of superuser app. File is in rwilco thread stickied in dev forums.

You can also go to system/app folder and delete superuser app.

Can you download a larger format dial pad for this phone (that works properly) ?

I had only found one or two larger than stock dial pads for my HTC touch. They never really integrated into the system properly, and had to uninstall them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jayjam99:

Cost a buck, but well worth it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TravisBean:
I see that there are 4 others on that page. Are they also any good ? (don't really care if it costs 1 or $2, just want one that integrates into the system well)

Edit: Wow, it's been a long time since I looked for a large dial pad. There's quite a selection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedking34:
Hi,

I was hoping someone in here with the knowledge could help me. I sent my galaxy nexus phone in for repairs (the wifi would not turn on anymore, even after factory reset, etc) a week today, and just got it back with a cover letter stating they could not fix my phone due to a 3rd party being used with the phone. (This is my spare battery with I forgot to remove before sending it off). I have never heard a instance where a 3rd party battery actually void a warranty and would like to know what you guys think... The only clause on Samsung's website mentioning something related to this is as follows:

[Warranty is void] Where any ancillary equipment not furnished or recommended by Samsung causes problems or damage that is attached to or used in connection with the product.

All this tells me is that the warranty would be void if the battery had cause the phone damaged, which it obviously hasn't.

I have called in samsung uk but they have been very unhelpful, basically just saying (and I quote) "though luck" ...

I am in the process of sending a mail to samsung, but if any of you has a address where I can send a letter to the CO or any of samsung's higher ups, I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
1. 3rd party batteries are invariably inferior quality, whether it caused your issue or not I can understand Samsung's position on it.

2.CEO's and higher ups aren't there to provide support. They are there to make stock holders happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedking34:
Whether the 3rd party battery is of good or bad quality is of no relevance. The battery is CE certified, has not burnt up inside my phone, there is absolutely no ground for them to refuse me my legal right to make us of my warranty.

Also, my initial issue has been well documented on the internet as you can see below and has been found to be common on the galaxy nexus. I find it is only normal, after giving them my £500 (sim free phone) that they honour my warranty and fix the problem that is obviously a result of a bad batch rather than because of anything I have done to it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
i remember reading that if you use 3rd party accessories your warranty is void on one of my devices warranty card.. but i dont remember which device exactly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I understand how you feel about the issue, but coming from the companies point of view it is a viable concern. I mean you have a hardware failure while using an aftermarket part that could easily have cause the issue due to poor battery construction and voltage issues. Its not unlike automobile manufacturers voiding warranties on powertrain when you are using an aftermarket intake. The upgrade may or may not have caused the damage or failure, no one will every truly know.

(this comes from the point of view of someone who has extensive modifications on my personal vehicle)

Thats why its always important to return a device bone stock to the manufacturer. Take any doubt out of the issue.

All that said, I still feel that they should have honored the warranty on the device unless a teardown showed voltage issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedking34:
I understand what you said, and had my problem occurred due to the battery then I would have admitted defeated, it would have been my bad. What is frustrating me is that I know damn well that this issue has nothing to do with the battery, I know it, they sure as hell know it as well, but they are just hiding being the fact that I supposedly voided my warranty to save themselves one repair. Every one says that, but if I don't get my hanset fixed then Samsung will have lost a good customer ( I would usually go with them for tv's, blu ray players, laptops).

I am also really chocked as I never heard of a third party battery voiding a warranty, ever (in the mobile world).

Oh and btw, the worst thing is that I actually have and use the official battery, and use two others as backups and it just happened that I had ran out of juice before I sent it in .. I really didn't think they would reject it for that reason ...

But find your country's consumers support. I have never heard this in my whole life. And i service hardware and sw failures in cellphones for over 10 years.

Grag them to the ****ing dirt.

Electrical failures always has been fixed under warranty when it has been provided.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
That was a no brainer to remove it before sending. Silly mistake but you're SOL. Let this be a lesson for next time.

Edit: you never heard of this voiding warranty because no one is dumb enough to tell the manufacturer. They can't prove it unless you send it right to them with the damn battery inside, which you did.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
// No judicial/law knowledge here

I understand your point, and morally/ethically support your concerns on this matter, but, you know it, they know it - that the 3rd party battery didnt cause the hw to fail- is not enough it seems. Do you have proof? Hard proof? Or hard numbers? If you're just going on the belief that is right in your eyes, you probably won't get much against a big company.

Also, if you do write to them, being polite and not knocking them down would be a wise stance to start conversations.

Maybe ask them to send you another device, that you will test for a period of time (agreed by both parts), with the same 3rd party battery that you had on your device. If it fails again, then the battery is to blame, and you will have to pay for the repairs of your OWN device, returning the test subject to them.

If it doesnt fail again.. :)

P.s. the guys over at warranty checks/disassembly must have laughed out loud when they saw the 3rd party bat: "next!!" Lol, sorry couldnt resist

Warranties aren't worth the paper their written on, be it phones or cars, you should just get insurance next time costs $10 a month an they just add it to your monthly phone plan an covers everything including theft or being lost.

People get sucked into a false sense of security thinking a warranty will help them in most situations, insurance cover is failsafe, if everyone had insurance most of these companies would lose half their revenue :D

Try a factory reset and see if that solves it. You already have an RMA on the way so you might as well test different possible solutions.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoonerLater:
Whatever it is in my phone that provides the battery temperature reading has lost its mind. It will show that the battery temp is a nice 90° F, then in less than a minute, it may show 130°, 140° or even 150°. I know what my phone feels like when it

really

has a temp in the 100° - 115° range (warm to uncomfortably warm to dayum that's hot). I am quite sure that my phone is not actually getting anywhere near 115°, much less 130° or above.

This all started when I swapped the 3300 MaH battery (and back and chassis) from my old Maxx (with a shattered screen) onto a non-Maxx. I was able to buy a non-Maxx for $160. A new screen costs over $250. The only used Maxx's I could find were over $300.

I've wiped cache and data and done a factory reset. I've deleted the battery stats file. I've let it charge to 100%.

Q. - Is this a software or a hardware problem?

Q. - Is the temperature reading provided by hardware

inside the battery

such that replacing the battery would replace the hardware that's mis-reading the temperature?

Q. - Is there something software-related that can be done which is better than merely wiping cache and doing a factory reset?

Hi

I just flashed Tripndroid CM10 0.28 by

flashing boot.img through fastboot usb

going into recovery and factory resetting

then flashing the rom

and then reboot system

When it boots up it says gapps stopped and sais unfortunately setup wizard has stopped, have I done something wrong here?

How can I get it to work?
[HTC One X] mihirengg19:
you have not wiped cache...

1. download rom and gapps,transfer them to root of SD card

2. extract boot.img(the kernel) from ROM zip and place it in fastboot folder

3. go into bootloader, FIRST flash the boot.img in fastboot(does the screen say FASTBOOT USB when u connect the phone to the PC?)

4. go into recovery, then FULL WIPE-factory reset, erase cache and dalvik cache.

5. then flash the ROM.

6. boot into the rom.then again enter into recovery and then flash gapps.

do the above steps in the same order all over again....it should work;)
