[LG Optimus 2x] shalabajza:
Hey everyone! I've been googling and searching on for this problem for a few days, but I didn't find any solutions for it. So, here goes, I guess.

I own a LG Optimus 2X, currently on CM10 nightly. It worked like a charm, until I decided to try the official LG 4.0 "update". It's horrible in many ways, so I decided to go back to CM10. I am aware that CM10 uses EXT3 and LG's official rom uses EXT4, so I was careful about all that, but it seems as if I wasn't careful enough.

I flashed back the original Gingerbread ROM with a .KDZ file and then via CWM flashed CM10, but I couldn't access my internal SD card (/sdcard), not even via CWM! The camera says that there is "no external storage available" even though there is, ES file explorer says that the "SD card is empty, unmounted or not present.", and other programs such as torrent clients also bug out. I also can't load any music because of that problem. Plus, in CWM, it says "Error, can't mount /sdcard" nor can I format it sadly.

Is that because I didn't format it correctly back from EXT4 to EXT3 or something? I am really having a hard time here. And it would be nice if someone had a solution for this! Thank you all in advance!
[LG Optimus 2x] giuseppe.m:
I think you need to format sdcard.
[LG Optimus 2x] shalabajza:
Heh, I think I got that one too. But the question is how? I can't even mount it in the ROM and ClockworkMod Recovery can't mount it either. Is there a way to do this over a flashable rom or via PC (like ADB)?
[LG Optimus 2x] Micronuub:
Use the one in all toolkit @ android development to flash a new CM.

It's a common bug for flashing back to CM from LG ICS.

Follow the tutorial and use the CM addon and choose for change bootloader even if you are already on old one.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] XperiaPlayer:
Right seriously what is up with the battery life on this phone. My phone goes off charge about 6:30, listen to music on the bus from like 07:15 - 9:00 and then use it generally throughout the day, checking facebook/twitter, upload 1 or two pictures, record a 3 min or so video (im mostly on the college wifi during the day) and by around 3pm my phone is dead. I am running 10F, deodexed, rooted, juice defender ultimate and hardly any stock apps running on it other than what is needed. The battery life is generally unacceptable. Just listening to music using Sony Walkman Player for like 1hour and half drops the battery by like 30%. The battery drops 2-3% every time i reload my news feed .etc. Something really is not right and im stumped? I turn power saving mode on at around 50%, my brightness is at 30% during the day, bluetooth off, wifi on at college since there is very little phone signal and other stuff.

What can i do? Posting the battery stats in a min or two. (No point posting, my phone keeps rebooting every time i try to get into it. [Not enough charge], basically its like a solid decline with the longest bars being Phone Idle and Display)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
is your wifi policy on sleep set to always? this phone has a little bug on wifi policy when the phone is locked. I have made several test and the 4X doesnt have a good PS-Poll implemented.

If you make some ping test, you will see that it never enters a low state wifi when policy is set to always.

i recomend you to set the policy to "only when chaged", it will improve a lot, believe me, i have a LOT of tests done. This is not the only improvement for the battery but helps a lot, the other guys can help you with other tips =)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] XperiaPlayer:
Thanks for your help, il look at that in a bit. However what i forgot to mention is that I turn the WiFi off when Im not using it. It automatically connects to the wifi for me, so when im putting my phone in my pocket or whatever I always turn it off, so I dont really think this will help me much. Worth a try though anyway :D. What im going to do is try 10H (I did before but didnt notice much different) competely stock, no root.etc and see how that fares tommorow :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] babymatteo:
I actually find 10H to be even worse on battery. I was running 10E before updating mine to the latest, and I was experiencing much better battery with 10E.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] XperiaPlayer:
See, this is the issue hahha Some people say 10E has better battery, 10F has better, 10C has better I really do not know what to go with. Didn't 10F stop the heat issues when playing games and would this be present in 10E? What sort of battery are you getting on 10E?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Its not the version that gives better battery to the phone, its the owner :)

Instead of threads like "battery use over v10f/h/y" people should put "battery stats with user RuedasLocas; monkeyLocas; etc...Locas"

But please, don't!!! Or we'll end up with the forum worst than it is, a complete mess :eek:

Hi,

It is my first time, i had my S3 (747m) today and i'm ready to learn. I do not have rooted my phone already, but i want to do it. It says rooted, for the rom, do i have to root before installing this rom or it will install the rom and root it in the same procedure ?

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
For ROMs distributed in the form of a .zip, you need an alternate recovery image in place to install them; most ways to install one involve having the device rooted.

I suggest you go here to get started.

Welcome aboard!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] christ6197:
Everything's clear.

As i understand, i will root with cf-root and 4.1.1 TELUS rom. After that, i will follow the instructions on the thread.

Am i right ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
The thread I linked to has instructions for rooting your device; you don't need to root your device twice (unless you decide to go back to stock in between for some reason). If you've found another method for doing so that you'd prefer to use, by all means go ahead and use it.
[Android Apps and Games] yairh:
Hello everyone ^-^

I would like to share with you my first published app for Android. This is the perfect solution for sending and receiving files securely.

This app is for Android 2.3 and up

Securon is used to encrypt your files and then send them to your contacts.

This way you prevent prying eyes and unauthorized access to the transmitted files.

Today, whenever you send/receive files through the internet, you risk a great deal: someone can always expose the data you sent/received and even use it against you.

Only the person you send the files to, will be able to open them, and only on his device with the passcode he set to Securon.

The app makes use of the latest technology to secure your files with systems such as AES and RSA.

Securon is very simple and easy to use.

There is also support for sending multiple files at once (automatically puts them in one compressed file).

There's a passcode system in place that needs to be set on first use. This will prevent anyone with access to your phone from decrypting and viewing secured files received by you.

[Captivate General] sjorge3442:
Hey guys. SO ive been using a hand me down Captivate recently, but coming from a Blackberry, the battery life seems very poor. I know the phone is over 2 years old so I should get a new battery, but even with a new battery, what kind of stats are you seeing with the captivate?
[Captivate General] BWolf56:
Highly depends on your usage. I personally get about a day to a day and a half of battery on slow days. With some more moderate-high usage, it's usually about 8-9hrs with 2-3hrs of screen on.
[Captivate General] iamzombie:
Depending on the ROM I'm running I've seen battery life between 24 and 36 hours with the stock battery.

I bought a 3750 mAh no-name battery pack for $10 (plus shipping, lol) on ebay and constantly get over a days worth with moderate use (over 1h screen-on time quite often) Be aware that this battery was considerably larger than the stock one, but did come with a plastic cover that snaps in place of the stock one.
[Captivate General] coldfear13:
mine lasts about 1.5 days, with a new aftermarket battery
[Captivate General] theoctagon:
What firmware are you using? I noticed drastic increases going from GB to ICS and JB.
[Captivate General] nespid:
Have you turned off your data? Are you running stock? As mentioned above, power management is much better with ics and jb.

When I got my captivate, data could kill the battery in a about 6 or 7 hours without turning on the screen.
[Captivate General] laughingT:
8-12 hours with heavy use.

[Captivate General] jlaudio11:
I just picked up a 3500mah ebay battery, combined that with juice defender and gsam battery monitor to finally go a whole day without charging. Im running a JB rom and use my phone regularly with work days being up to 16hrs. Before all that, I'd have to watch my usage to get a stock battery to last a whole day for me.
[Captivate General] nespid:
Were you on stick gb?
[Captivate General] jlaudio11:
[QUI'm E=nespid;36701924]Were you on stick gb?

No im on a JB 4.2.1 rom
[Captivate General] BWolf56:
The Cappy's battery are faily small for all the new features 4.2.1 is bringing. You gotta keep in mind that more features = more battery drain. If you can get 2.5-3hrs of screen on, be happy!

If you really want insane battery life, get back to froyo and flash Firefly :p
[Captivate General] nespid:
You said "before all that". I understand from that, that you meant before the JB rom.
[Captivate General] jlaudio11:
I understand battery consumption will be higher with JB than a previous version like froyo. The "before all that" referenced the new battery and apps. I've been running various JB roms for quite awhile now.
[Captivate General] nespid:
My captivate isn't my daily driver device, but I definitely saw better battery life coming from gb to ics to jb. Maybe I just wanted to believe it was better? Lol
[Captivate General] 4x4fiend:
Have gotten between 15-18 hours on my battery from new till now (2years old)

With the exception of a few roms (mostly early stages) its been pretty consistent and based more on wifi/mobile data than anything else
[Captivate General] spacecase-25:
My advice is to buy a new battery. Even if it's the same capacity as the old one, it will have less cycles on it, and batteries don't last forever. Also, I would stay away from these cheap ebay batteries. More than likely they are either recycled or they're subpar sells that have been relabeled and sold. Either way, they're not close to the mAh reading they're advertising.

I bought the 1800mAh battery that fits in the Epic 4G and I get more than a day with my usage. Just have to turn off google maps location report, as that will kill your battery in a few hours. Google now still works without it enabled.
[Captivate General] laughingT:
actually, if you buy from a reputable seller, my experience with batteries on EBay is very good. I got a 1600 maH battery with 3 year warranty for $4. I've been using it for 8 months, no problems, good life.

[Captivate General] Gatech:
I'm very sad reading this thread.

Now that Im beginning to use my Captivate (with SIM CARD) I see that Battery Life sht.

I'm waiting for my 3500mAH batteries. I need more than 1 day of life with moderate use.....

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

Really??. With what kind of use?. Do you have screenshots?.

Some users talk about 10 - 12 hours with moderate use. You talk about 30 HOURS. Do you use mobile data?. Juice Defender?. What?
[Captivate General] BWolf56:
I replied to your other post. Once again, it's highly user dependent. He could have 30hours on with only 1hr of screen.. Means nothing to you either way as he probably uses is phone in a completely different way and has different settings/apps.
[Captivate General] Gatech:
Yes, it can be. Thats why I am asking him how is using his phone...

I'm working with JuiceDefender Ultimate, disabling all, 2G: 1' 25 min on screen, and getting no more than 20 hours battery....

Regards!.
[Captivate General] Gatech:
Results 2:

Same things....

It had little harder use, Waze about 1 hour on 2G. At the end was like the same use.

Screen on: 2' 16 min.

Result: 18'34min ~ 14% so... 0% = 20 hours aprox.

I'll install Unofficial Semaphore_JB_2.9.12s_vc_c Kernel.
[Captivate General] Gatech:
Results 3 (with new Kernel: Unofficial Semaphore_JB_2.9.12s_vc_c)

I think it could delay 24 hours to get 0%, but Screen on was only 1' 40 min (low use).

+ This time I calculated, with Screen On (on minimum bright, 2G enabled, and navigating Facebook I lost 1% every 1.5 - 1.8 mins, is it normal?).

This Kernel didn't give me better Battery Life (or it was very little) :(

Regards.
[Captivate General] Gatech:
34.5 hours with 33% remaining battery OK

BUT, this is with new fat and ugly 3500mAh extended battery. Is like 2 times my old battery. I can't understand how some people gets same or better results with 1800mAh batteries!.

Greetings.
[Captivate General] Val D.:
I'm using original Samsung SPH-D710 Epic 4G 1800mAh battery, fits well into Captivate. ROM SlimBean 4.2.1, latest Semaphore kernel, step OC 1200MHz, default voltages. Can't complain about battery life. On stand-by only I'm getting 48h easily, with normal use 2h screen on + about 1h phone calls >24h. To kill the battery in 12h I need to play a lot with the phone and to keep the screen on at least 5-6h. I'd say not bad for a smartphone. Well, my wife uses a simple Motorola flip phone with 10h talk time and 24 days stand-by, but it's a different story.

Hello together,

I like the new gesture typing fuctionality of Android 4.2.

A little while ago I used Swype and SMS to Swype to import all the dialect words.

For me, the dialect words are very important and to input them manually would take ages.

Now I am wondering if there is something with the functionality of SMS to Swype (app, setting, mod,...) for the stock gesture typing?

I couldn't find an answer trough the search functionality.

Thanks

Hello guys,

I have a Motorola Atrix 4G but recently I got an offer to get a Samsung Galaxy SII from a friend. In exchange, he wants my Atrix, because he needs the fingerprint reader.

Atrix does have JB, but since Motorola doesn't release source code (and canceled the update), we don't have HW and some stuffs. So I really want to trade my Atrix for his SII, but I have a few questions first:

1. Does SII have fully working Jelly Bean (I prefer CM10), with Project Butter working?

2. Does the camera work fine with Jelly Bean?

3. How is the game performance? Do new games runs fine on it?

4. Can I root it using Ubuntu? I really don't want to install Windows on my laptop just to root it.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english guys :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cidious:
Me myself and I are running Android Revolution HD 6.0 with Perseus 29 kernel on my grey Note 2. With this perseus kernel you have a few audio options through sTweaks but I can't get my 24bit 96Khz FLACS sound like I would like to.. The bass keeps sounding a little woozy.. I would like to have cleaner bass and a little more detailed mids.

I am doing my listening test with 3 pairs of headphones (Stock Samsung earphones, B&W C5 in-earphones and cheapass Sehnheiser HD201 headphones)

I am using different albums for my test containing: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, Michael Jackson - Thriller, Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, Beatles - Love. These albums are all 24 bits and 88.2Khz or 96khz and played with Neutron Music Player.

Mods and apps I tried:

AC!D (works but better without stweaks.. stweaks seems to overrule some stuff wich results in distortion)

Awesome Beats (doesn't seem to work on my rom and kernel)

Neutron Music Player (Fine player with some nice audiophile options but poor interface)

Sony Walkman Player (Doesn't want to install)

sTweaks (Haven't found right settings for it yet and I don't want it to interfere with AC!D)

The problem is them interfering with each other.. I think AC!D does a fine job but its interfering witch sTweaks I guess.. Still some sort of distortion.

What do you run on your Note 2 to get the purest audiophile possible sound out of it? Please also note what rom and kernel you are running not every mod is compatible with every rom or kernel.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
In my mind there is currently no doubt which kernel has the best wolfson mod: neak. It's a combination of scoobydoo and another mod whose name escapes me.

Perhaps its bass frequency tuning will remedy some of your issues. The mids are also more pronounced when using dac direct in my opinion.

All these software mods never impressed me, no offense to anyone.

Would you please comment on the ability to control the headphone amplifier and the Media Volume independently like could be performed on the SGS with Voodoo Sound? I don't have a Note 2 yet--- one of my main purchasing decisions is based on the ability to use Scoobydoo/STweaks to control the headphone amplifier volume independently. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
Yes, sort of, in neak there is a volume hack similar to the one in voodoo, which makes you able to override the channel volume, so that the end result is about the same as with voodoo.

Interesting, I suppose I will have to see how development for the Verizon variant goes. Hopefully, I will be able to find a way to get Scooby/STweaks working like Voodoo. It is hard to try until I get the device, but my upgrade is at the end of the week!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevnube:
In case anybody cares, Perseus kernel with Stweaks allows to independently control headphone amplifier volume and media volume. It is essentially the same features as Voodoo, but without the Voodoo app. It is under the Audio section of Stweaks.
