On some roms the signal bars are not always accurate. You should be going off what your db levels are. The lower the better. Can be found in settings>about phone>status.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
He is correct.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
CM based roms have always yielded fewer bars for me, but just to let you know I average -85db to -110db most of the time in my house. I am on the .320 radio and have tested a few with no better results. Good luck on your search.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] deathrow1993:
Thanks for all the replies guys. I checked and I'm at -99 plenty of signal for calling/texting/3g

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SaltYNuTz:
The only way to know for sure is to test different ones out. Just don't flash the same one twice. ( meaning if you already have the .1111 on your phone don't flash over it with another .1111)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
I cleared my cache and dalvik cash and when I rebooted the phone the screen had a sorta checkerboard pattern on it...it straightened up when I rebooted again What would cause that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Have you been overclocking your GPU?

If so reset it to 533mhz and never OC it again. Sounds like textbook GPU overclock failure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Why would it just now do it? Is it bad for it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Generally speaking any artifacts that arise shouldn't be permanent. However damage from overvolting can occur. I didn't play around with the GPU clock settings in the custom kernel so I don't know how much they overvolt it, but that is sure to cause problems if it does, in time.

Artifacts caused by overclocking the GPU, like that checkerboard pattern you saw, are usually temporary. But if you see artifacts like that then it's a sure sign that your OC is failing and you should fall back a notch, or just go back to default clock speed period.

I have years experiencing overclocking graphics cards and processors alike on my PC. Pretty obvious what happened here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Right on man thanks...I have run antutu so many times that I know what the graphics score is and I can tell ANYONE reading this that over clocking the GPU does not speed the phone up. I'm back at 533 and still hit this on pegasus governor. This is what i hit with the gpu set at 620 (or whatever the next step is) That was the only thing I had changed in GPU. So take dark leaders advice and slow it back down...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Thanks for sharing this guys, I was getting this when playing some games, especially with modern combat 4. Just flashed the 29.1 (from 28/5g) and am going to leave everything at default for now to see how it runs.

Edit: Would ya look at that.... played again on stock settings with Perseus 29.1 and it runs like a dream! Not a single glitch, lag, or even the slightest artifact! Sometimes less is more!

Sent from my unlocked & underclocked Galaxy Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Yep no problem guys.

CPU overclocking can have tangible gains for phone use. But GPU is pretty tight setup from stock, and pushing it harder won't really improve much of anything. In fact I only recommend overclocking desktop grade GPU's for benchmarking only, as it's impact on real world performance is so minimal that it isn't worth the extra needed voltage and the possibility of artifacting that you get with it.

So yeah definitely enjoy the phone at 1.8Ghz CPU and leave the GPU alone ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Yes this is info that needs to be out there ...steve's post is yet more proof of concept here. ... Just linked a guy on kernel page here cause he's oc-ing GPU to 800...wow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] i7icegy:
This is very good info indeed. I am currently at one level higher in gpu and after reading this thread its going back to 533. Planning on keeping this phone for the long haul.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zeuszoos:
I know exactly what you're talking about and it is not limited to your model Samsung. It happened on my Galaxy Tab as well.

Actually, this is normal, even if not overclocked. It happened to me after clearing the caches like you did and I thought it was locked up, cause it sat there for a while and I kept trying reboots, thinking I was hosed. But this is a natural phenomenon! :)

When this happens, do not reboot! Instead, just put it down, go make a sandwich and come back. It will be booted! (screen may have turned off by then, as it normally would after a while after booting)!

Then reboot again and it should come up normally! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
My dual GTX570 cards that have been over volted and overclocked beg to differ. Noticeable gains in many games after doing so. Not just in the benchmarks. That is com pairing areas of very noticeable frame drops to where the from drops were less severe and kept from stuttering.

I do agree that the GPU on our phone does not need to be overclocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
I use to mess with gpu overclocking on my GNex and it would always get that glitchy stuff on the screen when I played games. I just never touch it now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
I OC'd both on the GNex and now the beast and have had no trouble at all. Speed freak! :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zeuszoos:
I agree that the GPU doesn't need to be overclocked, although I did overclock mine from 533 MHz to 800 MHz.

My comment about the "Colored checkerboard screen after clearing the Dalv chache", when it's botting up again immediately after doing that, was only in reference to the fact that that happens on some Samsung devices immediately after clearing that cache and it starts to boot up, regardless of whether the CPU, or GPU has been overclocked or not and it just sits there for a while and will seem like it has locked up.

In reality, if you just let it do its thing; just put it down and walk away, eventually, it will finish booting and it will be fine. Then, once your Home Screen has finally come up again, you just reboot it one more time and it will boot as it normally boots, without the funky looking screen.

I guess this screen glitch is just what happens when it's rebuilding that cache, which I would assume it does when it boots again and I assume that's probably why the boot takes so long after clearing that cache.

In other words, my point was simply that all is well and there is no need for any concern. It just looks like there is. :)

But hang in tight and about 3-5 minutes later, you will have your device back again! :)

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HypostaticOnion:
How hard would it be to get AOKP onto the Tf300T? I know there's a build for the TF201 and the 101, but why not for the 300T? I mean, I don't currently have this device, but I'm possibly buying one from my friend, so I would love to have something with a lot of the AOKP features. Ultimately something like PACman ROM would be the best. I'm just curious as to how hard it is to port over? How would one build from source for an unsupported device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
I don't know how this happens, but I was reading up on what is making my media server act up and drain the battery. From what I've seen, people say it's a rogue song on the phone causing it to loop. So I went into my SD card and checked the properties of all my folders. I could see all of them rather quickly, except the CWM folder. It never showed up. So I transferred it to my computer and deleted it.

No more media server loop causing a hot phone and short battery life.

What causes that folder to loop like that?

I'm stock JB, unlocked and rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
I hear if you add the nomedia folder in there that fixes it too. Your phone won't scan it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enix316:
Doesn't that mean your nand backups are gone? What happens when you need a restore?

Just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
This was on the external SD. They're saved on my computer anyway. In a few different drives.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stupifier:
I'm assuming you would have to undo the no media folder tag in order to restore properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
The reason why it took so long is because inside the folders in the CWM folder there are thousands of tiny files in the blobs folder. It takes the phone a while to calculate all of them. But if it works better now then I guess don't worry about it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dohturdima:
Does this have to do with mediaserver rescan? If so, there Ian app called Tescan Media Root which can turn it off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enix316:
Sorry, I was unclear.

Removing the cwm folder may have some benifits, but the nands are gone. Does the OP not use nands?

I would probably cry like a baby if I lost my nands.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
Nands are tucked away safely on 2 hard drives and one solid state drive lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite818:
When doing a nands restore/backup, does it need the blobs folder? I moved my nands backup to my extsd and among other places. If I don't need the CWM folder on the phone, I'll delete it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
Yes, you need the blobs folder. I just zip the whole cwm folder every backup now. So each cwm folder is just 1 backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Or you can switch the backup method from blobs to tar files within recovery and not have to deal with corrupt backups or media drain. Backups tend to be larger this way though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Franky_V:
Someone mentioned this but was somewhat incorrect on how to do it:

In the parent folder, in your case the cwm folder, use a for explorer to "create a new file" and name it ".nomedia" no quotes and the period at the beginning is intentional. When you add that file, the scanner knows not to look for images or sounds inside that folder.

I think the .nomedia file will get ignored if you use an app like poweramp and tell it to search that folder, I'm not sure about that though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I've seen people recommend rescan media root . It's a free app, giving it a run.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Franky_V:
Use .nomedia it's native to android and will last between installs and wipes without you having to bother backing up an app
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anndrius:
Hi i had x10 mini pro with unlocked bootloader, naA kernel and gingersony ROM. It was working fine for couple of weeks after unlocking bootloader and flashing new ROM, but now it didn't turn on (red light flashed three times and thats it) then i tried holding power + back key then led changed to orange, but it still didn't turn on. Then charged the battery for 2h the led turned to green, tried to turn on the phone vibrated the green led flashed once, but the black screen just keeps turning on with no logo and it's like in bootloop (i can hear the device being recognised by computer when USB is plugged in). Don't know tried Flashing original firmware with flashtool, original kernel, tried locking the bootloader, PC companion and SEUS they both download the software and everything flashes fine, but same bootloop is happening and i need to pull the battery out to stop it. Dont know what else i can do?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] OmegaRED^:
3 red flashes = low battery.

your symptoms sounds wierd are you sure you did all that correctly?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Flash stock firmware and leave it to charge for about a day.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xperia_pro:
Well, when i remove my sd card exaclt that happens to me, until i return the SD, or use repair on PC companion
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anndrius:
i think the bootloader is broken, when i turn on the phone from cold restart the phone vibrates and the black screen turn on and off... I can flash with flashtool and PC companion and SEUS, but nothing helps, the same bootloop repeats. I don't know what else i can try i think it's hardbricked. What else i can try?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aharonzu:
check with s1 tool if there is a small r if so just flash stock rom
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anndrius:
the s1tools show "R" i have flashed with SEUS and PC companion and flashtool but nothing helps. The phone shows black screen for 10 sec and then reboots and same black screen, no logo nothing. How can i revive it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rempty:
Your battery is discharged, change it for other to test.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aharonzu:
you have to unlock your bootloder with flash toll
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anndrius:
i don't have another battery and tried without battery with charger plugged in, but it's the same. I have flashed with unlocked bootloader and with locked, but nothing helps. Is it hard bricked? no hope?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rempty:
I had the same problem, and only i changed the battery for my K850i.

Try to charge the battery with a universal charger.

Other solution is flash stock kernel, beacuse nAa kernel i think dont work off charge.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aharonzu:
you flashed a costuom kernel without unlocking your bootloder

unlock your bootloder

and than flash back to stock rom
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Srikks:
This same issue has happened to me several times while installing custom ROM. One of your SW component is broken, when you dont know what went wrong, you should revert back to SE default rom using PC companion. Go to software update and then reset device. Follow the instructions. Once your device is back start with your R&D.

The issue seems to be because your device has custom ROM running on SEMC kernel.

You need to unlock your bootloader. Install nAa GB kernel and

Install the GB ROM. Let me know if you need the links.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anndrius:
i have tried unlocking bootloader, but it doesnt work, in flashtoold there's no option in plugins>unlock/run and msm7227_semc.bat doesn't work. Maybe i got it locked with nAa kernel, but i tried locking the bootloader after i have tried SEUS, flashtool and PC companion. Maybe i can flash something with flashtool to revive it?

If there would be a reset involved , I guess I'd wait for a rom that don't have to reset. It' so time comsuming to bring the phone back to where you were. Not so much the loss of picture sor music , it's more of the emails and contact merging.

Unless you really feel it's worth it then I'll consider

gmail should automatically sync contacts and emails unpon phone set up. (cant take more then 5 minutes)

also look into titanium backup for individual app data.

wiping data and factory reset is a MUST for installing new ROMs.

if you think you "dont have the time for it", then i highly recommend you stay on your rom and read comments from others using the rom to see if it is worth the reset or you could just give up and go buy an iphone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndrewH05:
Honestly, I just had to say this is absolutely not true in all circumstances. Yes you should do so 8/10 times, but I can say personally that I've flashed over another ROM many times with no issues. Granted usually it was a new build of the same ROM and never going from say 4.0>4.1.2 or 4.1.2>4.2

Best of luck, I had some serious issues with Liquidsmooth (via a clean install) so I dumped it but hopefully it works out for you.

Ok, I'll resolve to fact that the LS Rom is in development and I should wait for a true version down the road. . Due to the situation I went back to the stock Rom and re-routed the phone.

Any ideas on what could of happened? Before the LS install, I had the recent stock Rom ( 4.1.1- I535VRBLK3) and was routed with no errors

Also, has anyone seen a tether app that works with JB. It seems that none of the tether apps work. I've noticed that on web searches of other forums and from the comments from users of the GNU.org program
