[Samsung Captivate Glide] bombermanCC:
Happy New Year everyone!

I'm a complete noob to root/flashing my samsung captivate glide so please forgive me if these questions seems stupid. I searched on google and in this forum but can't seem to find answers.

I just recently rooted + flash to CM10.1 (android 4.2.1 beta) on my phone and I have been playing around with the software for the past 2 days. I'm pretty happy with it so far; patiently waiting for some fixes like Bluetooth and keyboard back light (like everyone else). I would also like to take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone involved in these kinds of projects. You guys fill the need left in the gap between the manufacturers and the service providers that decide that our phones are obsolete and shouldn't get updates even if the phone can actually benefit from said update.

Today I just tried something: I pushed the power button and on the screen there was a menu to reboot or shutdown: I selected reboot, and then had other choices on screen, and I selected "download" thinking it would go into update mode?... so the device rebooted into download mode and I see the green android logo with the words "Downloading..." in white and "Do not turn off target!!" in green. It's been like that for 30 minutes now and I was just wondering if it truly is downloading something and/or if I can just pull the battery out right now to turn the phone back on normally. If it really is downloading, I find it funny that it's taking so long since I have a 20 MB connection speed...

The reason I went into download mode is because I saw the options inside android 4.2.1 to update CM10.1 automatically (I chose "nightlies" and "check twice a day"...) and I have yet to see any updates being done. Will there be a pop-up of some kind if there are any nightlies available for download? Will I have to go into download mode to apply the updates? Do they auto-download when the phone is on and they update at next reboot? Please explain the update process...

Also. I don't know if this is a problem or not, but I noticed in JB that my battery seems to drain faster than with GB installed... nothing drastic, but noticeable. For example, if I turn everything off except cell antenna overnight, 10 hours later I have 10% less battery. It used to be around 5% less battery. Can anyone confirm that JB uses more battery than other android versions?

Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions, I appreciate it and hopefully it will answer other noob questions in the future.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Artemis-kun:
Download mode is used for downloading an operating system via Odin and USB connection. Rather curious how you would not have used that to get to where you are now, unless you obtained your phone with a CWM recovery already on it?

As for battery life, in my time lurking here, I haven't seen many posts about it, but can weigh in with my thoughts. I noticed a significant power drain when I had enabled Google Now. Once I had turned it off, my battery life improved drastically. Still does seem to drain a bit more than stock, but I suspect that is due to optimizations that need to happen for our devices and/or bugs in cm10 itself, as I have seen some things suggesting issues with the screen auto brightness in someone's ROM notes...

Hope this helps and welcome to the world of Android modding!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bombermanCC:
Thanks for your quick reply,

Yes I used the Download mode with odin to root my device, but I wasn't sure why it was written "Downloading...." like it was actually downloading something (like a CM10.1 update or something). Anyway, thanks for confirming that this is the same download mode as for odin.

Do you know how the CM10.1 updates work? will it post a message on the phone when an update is available?

I am already using auto-brightness so that's not the issue and all other antennas are off, except for cellphone antenna to receive calls.

anyway, it's not a big problem for now, there are still tweaks and updates to come so we will see how battery use develops in the coming weeks/months.

Thanks for your answers.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Artemis-kun:
Purely guessing, but seeing as how the OTA updates work from carriers, you get notified in the notification bar and downloads the ROM while the phone is still up and running, I would assume CM would work the same way. But, I don't think it's actually enabled as of yet, since the ROM is still in development. Feel free to anyone to correct me on this, but I feel I am more or less correct on this.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
It's waiting for Odin to connect to it via USB. Just hold the power button until it shuts off.

That only works for official CM releases. You'll have to check the thread periodically and manually update by downloading the zip and flashing it with CWM.

JB battery has been better for me than the official ICS was. There's so many variables there though, you're probably doing something different or have some app installed that you didn't before.

V2

---------------------

-inc effect (thanks sac23 and grusome wolf)

-little theming, some left but im satisfied for now, I need sleep

-switched to a blue walkman

-now has extended power options

-no bugs I can tell

V3 so far

If your keeping up with this, lol, heres where V3 is!

-used gruesome wolfs walkman stuff (works better)

-themed popups kinda

-removed input notification (thanks clark44)

-working on themeing system stuff (messaging, phone, settings and keyboard specificly)

-working on killing all green

-toggles redone

Also, if anyone is still watching this thread, im gonna throw v3 up this weekend, will include a few things over v2. Especially the better toggles, lol, and wifi tether.

***if you want the toggles a different color tell me, il make a different color*** im considering freaky bright green or like freaky bright orange. Or even black for off and white on, but with shapes inside. Feel free to pm me. Or if theres any requests. I made thia because I wanted a rom with what I wanted, that looked like I wanted. My last rom I made had some really cool elements... this rom is kinda a "throwback" to my first rom, as time goes on I will try to diversify this, and hopefully itll start to be different.

I'm looking at buying a Razr HD, I have the Atrix HD right now and I am not very impressed with it. I've been trying to find one of the developer editions of the phone, since I'd like to have the bootloader unlocked, but I haven't had any luck. I know I'll have to buy online, but I haven't found anywhere selling them. Where do people get them from?

EDIT: I'm also reading that there are some variants of the phone that can be unlocked even without being the developer versions, which ones are those?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technophile82:
You have to buy the dev edition from Motorola's website. That's where I bought mine.

I was actually hoping to have an option for turn that clock on/off, and then within those options you could chose to place it left/middle/right. And yeah, it'd be awesome to have the battery % overlayed in a nice tidy small font over the battery icon.

That feature is only available on CM or other non-stock based costumROM. :p

Actually there is a guide to do those things manually (compiling).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khizar Amin:
Guys ivhave bought an s2 today

it is korean but updated to international english firware and is running 2.3.5 gb (no carrier lock)

now the question is

1. is it ok to install CWM as well as CM10.1 directly over 2.3.5 or i have to update to ics first?

2. also i checked the known issues of CM10.1 and there was an issue that some recording features are broken

does that mean no video recording at all? if video can be recorded, what features are broken..

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
Yes, you can directly flash from gingerbread. You just need cwm.

Video recording works. However, the effects in video recording don't work as far as I know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimx91:
Hey i've got an AUSTRALIAN VODAFONE model GALAXY S3 (i9300T). But now i currently reside in Turkey.

The phone had been rooted in order to achieve the SIM Unlock capability, got through that.

Then this GALAXY NOTE 2 came out and when everyone started buying this phone i ended up really liking some of the new stuff BEYOND 4.0.4. Because the phones rooted obviously KIES and ANDROID didn't ever let me upgrade to the new firmware.

So i went ahead; unrooted the phone, reset the counter and loaded up 4.1.2 firmware into the phone. Now it seems like im having RECEPTION issues, have i done something wrong? I have loaded up the UK version of 4.1.2 (i think)? It was downloaded from sammobile but its been a week or two and i just don't remember which firmware i put in there.

How can i improve my reception?

----

Question 2.

Sometimes i run into this weird ass annoying issue where, the phones connected to wifi the internet works completely fine. The phone gives no error as to whether the connections limited or anything.. But it just fails to LOAD up any webpage.. It starts loading the page with the blue bar and just gets STUCK, on ANY PAGE (excl. Google seeing how it's cached). This happens randomly i've tried triggering it, didn't make a difference, it happens on different WIFI connections not just my own. I did attempt a reflash of the firmware and experienced no difference.

Anyone else had an issue similar atleast?

----

App to SD...

Why doesn't it work??? I tried every program and well i got to one that told me the reason it isn't working was because the SD card was "emulated" ? or something..

----

Battery improving tips...

I'm no heavy user, however i use Bluetooth Audio/Headphones majority of the day. Occasionally once every couple days the GPS for about 1 minute for traffic monitoring. The occasional game (NFS MW i know this game isn't exactly battery friendly) but besides playing games.. is there nothing else we can do?

On my old S2 the aftermarket roms seem to give me better battery life.. I have taken all the precautionary measures, running battery till dead, then performing full recharges. etc.

Wireless charging kit

Is it worth it? im after USER opinions here.

When I plug my TF101 Transformer into the wall it takes 2 days to fully charge. It doesn't indicate anywhere that it's charging but the charge is slowly going up.

I lost the original charging brick thingy and am using one from another device. I believe the problem is that the TF101 needs 15volts from it's charger and I guess my charger isn't doing that. I had this problem with the original charger as well.

I am thinking of getting this charger for $11. Does anybody think this is a good idea. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilkster:
You are correct re. the cause for the slow charge times. However I wouldn't risk my tablet to one of those cheap chargers. They don't regulate the power very well.

[HTC One X] Murischas:
Hello,

I have a big problem after upgrading my phone to Jelly Bean.

The battery drain is very very high. For example muy battery looses about 10 % each half hour, without turning the screen on or doing something alse... aspecially if i use WIFI

My facts before updating:

- SuperCID

- S-on

- hboot 0.9x

- Used ARHD 17.x Battery life was very good.

now i have

- SuperCID

- S-on

- hboot 1.39

- Used ARHD 18,cyanogenmod 10.1 but allways the same problem with high battery drain.

I was thinking that it has to something with the hboot upgrading.. but i don´t know how to get back to lower Hboot.

If someone could please help and post some usefull information. I already used the "Search" but didn´t found something usefull.

Thanks by now.

Afaik you can't have supercid without s-off

Hi guys,

I got 2 days ago an LTE SIM card and I'm trying to setup the option "LTE/GSM auto" in my GT-I9250, without success.

This is how my settings look:

I got the phone from Google Store. When I select the option from drop-down menu, it pushes it back to "WCDMA preferred". I called the tech support and they told me that the LTE option is enabled on my phone account. What am I missing? Bell offers LTE AWS (1700 MHz) and LTE (700 MHz), does the Nexus have support for these bands? If any of Bell users managed to switch their Nexus to LTE, please let me know what you did.

Thanks for your help.

Hey everybody.. Finally i got some strength to flash rom on my SGN.After going thru bunch of posts i got that sgn is affected with brick bug.

So i followed Philz guide about flashing Philz kernel. I have some confusion that

**DO I NEED TO FLASH PHILZ SAFE KERNEL ZIP BEFORE AND AFTER FLASHING ROM**??

Also,Is Philz kernel compatable with all types of ROM available for SGN? If not then which kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kortxero:
What ROM have you flashed exactly? Philz kernel is only compatible with Samsung (Touchwiz) Roms. If you have flashed a new ROM chances you are using the built-in kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivg86:
See...if you have read carefully then you have noticed that the brickbug is present in ics only.brickbug isnt present in gb.and for jb i am not sure....

This isn't the answer to my question.. I asked do i need to flash kernel before and after flashing rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyam:
You don't need to flash the kernel after flashing the Custom roms, since almost all custom roms will have safe kernel with them.. on the other hand, you will have to flash a safe kernel after flashing the rom, if you are flashing a stock ICS rom..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraaka:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Then learn to read the OP. There will be instructions as to what to do if the rom doesn't come with a safe kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraaka:
keep alternative tar file of a safe kernel compatible with your present rom on sd card and then flash it through mobile odin - this method of switch over is safe

those unsafe kernels have certain distinct plus points, thats why the devs put them in custom roms and if you are an expert and can handle them ......surf on them and feel the difference...... (not for newbies and noobs)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacque:
this is how i flash my galaxy note but im not saying its how u should do it: i usually have the rom in my sd card cmw as well as well as superuser. then i flash cmw and then super user..reboot system..after being rooted i then flash a safe kernel after flashing i reboot recovery which is the new kernel recovery ..there i wipe and clean everything..then i flash rom..so to answer your question, i would say flash safe kernel before flashing rom as most roms require a clean install for better performance

good luck..oh i am also a noob..running alliance rom 1.1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctexy:
To answer your question, if you need to flash a kernel, it needs to be done BEFORE you do any wipes.

If you flash a custom rom, chances are it comes with a custom kernel as people have mentioned. Mostly, these are safe. But to be sure, make sure that you have flashed a custom kernel and rebooted to recovery before you wipe. If this concerns you greatly, then follow the advice in Dr. Ketan's excellent rooting thread, and install the stock rooted Gingerbread rom provided there. This has a stock kernel, but as it is Gingerbread, it is completely safe to wipe. You can then go and flash whatever you want on top.
