Also check for any background syncs.

Try changing modem.

But please make sure your kernel is not affected by brick bug since most of the 4.0.4 stock kernels have brick bug

Heard a lot of good things about kh3 modern. But try for yourself
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkr_bibin:
There is no back ground sync task in action in my phone. I have disabled them all.

Why should I change the modem? Is there any known issue with that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Changing the modem won't do anything about battery drain while using WiFi as WiFi drivers are in the kernel. Changing modem might stuff your currently good call quality & good data speeds tho ;) (in other words, don't touch your modem if your call quality/connectivity is good).

Edit - Don't bother trying to calibrate your battery either. Anyone who says a SGS2 battery can be calibrated is selling you **** & telling you it's haute cuisine.

Extra edit - Your battery is cactus. Buy a new one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkr_bibin:
Thanks for the help. Found another issue or a modification for the above mentioned behavior.

After the S2 switches off, it now looks that I don't even have to charge the phone. The processor get heated up a bit(just leave it till it cools off). The batter comes back to 75% of what was the previous level. I am not yet convinced that it is a battery issue. Anyway will try to get a new one.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
I use grooveip for calls. Of course, you have to have a data connection. The n7 wifi cannot make cellular calls, it does not have the hardware. The n7 3g cannot make cell calls yet either, but dev work is progressing.

Hello Everyone,

I have not play with any android devices since android 2.0 and even back then found self rooting tools. I got my Kid Nabi2 tablet. Runs Android 4.0.4 currently. Nice little tablet. Problem is only have 8GB or storage. About 4gb after all system partitions and recoveries. So my question is can I safely back up my recovery partition to external source to free up some space? I assume recovery partition has complete recovery files when I do restore to factory option. I I remember correctly android has few partitions. /boot, /system, /recovery, /sd. is there a way just to have your operating system and whatever apps. Have recovery mode but have files on like sd card. If I decide to root this device dose that changes anything in my recovery partition. If device is rooted can I just go back to completely stock by doing factory reset? I just want to make sure that if I root it and want to go back to complete stock for any reason I can do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t499user:
You can restore from your backup that gets made after you flash the custom recovery.

Here is the original script for using on Windows:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32207344

Though you should use the gapps package from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35888524 as it gets rid of the 'android upgrading' messages on every boot.

If you want a more manual method, or are on linux, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016463
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skull791:
T499user, thank you for replaying. I do run windows. I did look at the section you direct me to me before. What I don't understand is when you root with his program do I use option 1 or 2. Where dose the back up go and how do I restore it later? when I restore dose that bring it back completely to stock, meaning just like it was when i got it? I'm currently running new nabi software do I have to worry about losing wifi?

Also is there a way of freeing up space on my nabi 2 by keeping a back up somewhere else. I think now there is recovery/back up partition. that works when I do factory reset. is that is how that works?

By installing new custom recovery would other recovery still be there?

Sorry trying to get back after many Apple years..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t499user:
I prefer to do it manually, but if you are going to use the script, use option 2. Then you can install gapps from TWRP using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2065878.

The backup that gets created is of the current system state. It is stored in /sdcard/TWRP/backups/*serialnumber*/backupname

No worries about wifi as long as you did all of the OTA updates.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skull791:
Now do I have to install TWRP or when i root it will do it for me?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t499user:
It will be done with the script.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skull791:
What dose exactly gets back up?

also do you know why nabi2 only has about 4.45gb of free storage when total is 8gb? 3.55gb seems a lot for system files???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t499user:
The system, boot, and data partitions get backed up. That is the way they set it up for the partitions.

All of your questions have already been answered in the other threads, might want to do a search for 'Nabi' and have a read.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] James Musacchio:
I have the t mobile one (SGH-T999) and i wiped everything and installed the latest cm10.1, but it seems that any rom based off of CM also kills my camera but any other rom allows it to work. CM makes it so any camera app crashes even before i see anything out of the camera lens. what should i do?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shredswithpiks:
same issue here. Stable CM10, camera throws "can't connect to camera" error. Latest CM10.1 nightly, same issue. Latest Jellybam, same issue.

Wicked has functional camera, but I'd like to stay as close to basic AOSP/AOKP/CM as possible.

Anyone found a solution? Anyone not having this issue?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I suppose wiping camera/gallery was the first thing you tried.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shredswithpiks:
Yeah, sure was. So far I have...

Cleared gallery cache/data from "manage apps"

Wiped data, cache, dalvik cache from CWM touch recovery 6.0.2.3

fix permissions from CWM touch recovery 6.0.2.3

installed every CM10/AOKP based rom I can find twice, wiping data/cache each time

tried other camera apps (none work, all have similar errors regarding inability to connect to camera)

It doesn't seem like this is a common issue. I'd be very convinced my hardware is simply broken, except that the camera works in the stock samsung rom, wicked, and pretty much everything build on touchwiz/samsung.

possibly a kernel issue?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deviant Ollam:
have a look at this thread. i've been having camera problems with all versions of CyanogenMod that i've tried on my Galaxy S III and this latest possible fix is giving me hope. i'm restoring back to stock via ODIN right now and am going to pull the stock version of SlimISP_ZH.bin from /data and attempt to drop it into my CM10 image to see what might work.

I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.

Edit:

Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtool:
Only thing that worked was formatting the internal memory. A restore won't do it, must be a fill format. Feels great to have the space back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
that's because of the previous firmware's data saved on your phones. just perform a full emmc(only internal memory) wipe.

I updated my thunderbolt with Liquid ICS (Liquid-ICS-v1.5-MR3-Mecha.zip). Since then, I've gone through 2 batteries. In each case, the batteries puffed up and rapidly degraded. I understand this could be coincidence, or some other issue with my phone, or just bad luck with batteries, but wanted to see if there's any reason to suspect the ROM.

BTW, I like this ROM best of all the ones I've tried. Specifically, this ROM seems to give me the longest battery run-time.

Have a weird bug that comes and goes and can't figure out why or how to fix it. Long pressing home should bring up all open apps and let you get to task manager.

Before you Compile or Decompile, You must setup your framework-res.apk /twframework.apk and SystemUI.apk

in Folder, click setup.bat and then setup your configuration.

then after setup you can compile the apk :good:
