[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanmoyrock:
i am new to this forum , so i could not post my problem in supernova forum, my problem is related to the supernova rom, the built in radio is not good, it has bugs. it cant detect cellular networks, neither 3g nor 2g, fake signal bars are shown. i checked for different network operators. so i thought to update the radio. the latest radio i got 5.17.5.23, but while flushing this rom, it said amendify scripting is depreciated, so i needed to use amendify to edify tool to sign the radio zip. after signing the radio, when flushing for the second time, it said, tmp/radio.img no such file or directory. what should i do now? :( :( my phone is no more worthy for cellualr connectivity. :crying: help me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
i recommend to flash radios using fastboot, much safer. extract the radio.img from the zip and check the md5 sum before flashing it, as a bad radio flash can cause a brick.

follow guide to setup and use fastboot. best to read the whole thing.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travels:
I have the original Tab 7 rooted, but am still using Touchwiz. It has a class 4 32gb card in it, running Gingerbread.

Main uses are web browsing, music(Wolfson is really nice), and reading pdf's. Don't play games or watch videos.

Everything is sluggish. When I open up Playerpro or Poweramp, it takes 5-10 seconds to start playing a song. I have about 20gb of music, so I'm not sure if the memory card is slow, the cpu is slow to process, etc. Pdf's are slow to turn the page, zoom, etc.

I see people selling Tab 2's locally for $125ish. A Tab 2 with JB vs an original Tab with CM10... would you say the Tab 2 is a lot faster, a little bit, or not worth the upgrade? Also considered getting a Nexus 7 or Tab 8.9(screen size seems just right).

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ypsmav:
You can try CM9.1 stable version and have an idea.

This is very stable and much faster than original, with a decent battery life.

if still not good enough go for the nexus, no sense to go for the sgt2.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salahmed:
I would prefer to keep the original tab p1000 rather than going to buy tab 2 because there is no such a big difference in the performance, I used the tab 2 for few days every time my friend want to update it he gave it to me to do the things for him.

For me I will leave this tab as soon as the TE4M leave it. The great guys behind CM for our tab.
[LG Optimus G (International)] drastic00:
I couldn't post this under the LG Flash Tool Developer Guide where I spotted the a question for a similar problem I was having. The original question was from 'tpoints' on 5 April 2012:

"i couldn't find the "SERVER" folder to launch the "shttp3.exe" file..also after installing shttp3 at c:\, no exe file appeared to launch the program"

I am sure this is a common noob issue in general, but I had a similar one. The server folder was there, but shttp3.exe file was not.

After re-extracting the flashing package .rar a couple of times I noticed MSE removing items as I was doing this. I turned it and other security off, and the file was finally there after re-re-extraction.

I'm sure many are already aware of this. I'm sure this has come up in other threads. Is it in a noob guide someplace? I don't know. But there was no immediate answer to be found to the problem (especially since I wasn't entirely sure what my question was in the first place): modding files sometimes seem to be 'recognized' as harmful by antivirus/ad/malware applications, so these need to have their live protection turned OFF during these procedures.

Hope this helps someone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Hanzo.Hasashi:
So here is the story.

I flashed CM Mini 10 with the proper Kernel etc. Since then my proximity sensor stoped workin. This means no landscape on any app nor any activity on compas apps or apps that use the proximity sensor. (ALTHOUGH Proximity Lock App seemed to be working. The screen turned off while covering the sensor)

After that i decided (it was a decision which had to do with the whole daily use and stability of the rom) to go back to Mini CM 7. So i flashed the proper Kernel and the rom. Everething works fine except the proximity sensor.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xperia_pro:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
It's not the proximity sensor, that only detects if something (you) is close to the phone, so it can turn off the screen and prevent accidentail touches when you're in the call. It's the motion sensor that is not working properly :)

Hi,

So I was thinking about buying a new phone and a friend of mine told me about this Xperia SL.

I searched a lot about it and found another that seemed better because of it quad core processor but it wasn´t what I was thinking.

Anyway, is this phone good for games?

I was thinking about playing nfs and some fps games on it and sometimes when I´m travelling using it as a videogame, plugging it on a tv and using my ps3 controller.

Do u think that this phone can handle it? Or should I go for another one ?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
As a previous iPhone owner I can say that it held its charge preety good while gaming. On the galaxy s3 even with simple games it drains very fast. In about 10 minutes of puzzle quest 2 I lost 10% battery life. Its to a point where if I go somewhere I feel like I can't enjoy gaming on my s3 because I'm afraid I will kill the battery in an hour or less. Anyone else have any input on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Realhamfoshea:
An hour or less seems a little fast, however, I have had it to where it drains in just over an hour and a half or so minutes of gameplay. I recommend turning on Power saving mode in the settings and that should help increase that time for gameplay as it does show in your stats that the CPU is what is draining the battery so fast. The Power saving mode limits the maximum performance of the CPU as well as the power use by the screen, which was the second largest cause of battery drain from your stats. Hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] plarser48:
Ok I have a bunch of music on my external SD card. Searching through the forums, I came across the Directory Bind app which seems to be extremely useful. My problem is that I am not quite sure where to point source and target so that Google's Music App recognizes the mp3s on my external drive.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, using Jelly Bean (SlimBean Rom)

My sd card directory is at: /sdcard, or /storage/sdcard.

My external music is at: /storage/sdcard1/music

The potential source (or target?) directories I see are:

/data/data/com.google.android.music

/data/data/com.android.music

Tried both to no luck. Any tips?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
Shouldn't Media Scanner be picking up those files on boot? I don't think you should have to manually point the Google Music app to the directory. Is there a ".nomedia" file in the directory where your music is located?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] plarser48:
I don't see that file. If should media scanner pick it up even if it's the external card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
It does on mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] plarser48:
Hmm. I tried a couple things:

- Reformatted SD card (slow format to FAT32)

- Place just one album on the clean SD card

This seemed to work ok.

But when I dumped 3 GB of music on the 32GB-size SD card, it seems that BetterBatteryStats indicates that since boot, MediaScannerService has been running non-stop.

How long should it really take to scan 3GB of media on a 32GB SD card to get it in the Media Library?

Note: The SD card also has a clockworkmod directory. Not sure if that was causing a slow down, but I added a .nomedia file to the clockworkmod directory in hopes that it will speed it up.

Any ideas?

Just helping people out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] plarser48:
Mods feel free to relocate this thread to the appropriate forum. My mistake.

So I tried a few more things.

I added .nomedia to the clockworkmod (multiple subdirectories) as well as other non-music directories and added just three albums (40 songs) to the music directory.

It took about 3 minutes for Media Scanner to finish adding the albums based on BetterBatteryStats, ~1 album a minute. After that, I saw them in the Music app. I'm now going to load ~30-40 albums and hope for the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] plarser48:
Update:

Success! It only took 3 minutes to scan after loading 30-40 albums. So I'll chalk this thread as solved with the following solutions:

1) Reformat to make sure SD card is clean and ready

2) Put .nomedia files in anything but music. I have a feeling the 6000+ clockworkmod blob files slowed the scan to a halt earlier. .nomedia fixed it.

Thanks all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
If I'm not mistaken, media scanner scans all files on your disks regardless of what they contain. The purpose of the .nomedia files is to "hide" any media files present from the media scanner so they don't show up in the gallery, music player, etc. So your 3 minute runtime is for all the files on your system, not just the 3 albums you added.

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

If you have that many blob files in your clockworkmod directory you might want to try the "delete unused backup data" option in CWM under "backup and restore". I managed tho accumulate lots of empty files there by deleting old backups via my file explorer instead of through CWM. It was causing some pretty long (20 minute plus) scan times for my system. Now under 2 to 3 with 12 gigs of music.

Within the last couple of weeks, I have to enable/disable airplane mode to get my data to work. It's random throughout the day.

common issue with note II and my GSIII

looks like the same issue is happening on the Note II - thread.

For me, it seems like it happens more frequently when I leave a wifi connection; I have to enable airplane mode & disable it to connect to 4G LTE (band 14). I'm not rooted, so I can't run the logger that's suggested in the Note II thread. FWIW: it appears to affect me with or without Onavo VPN running.

Any suggestions would be helpful. My next thought is to figure out a way to ping/test the connection to the AT&T tower/gateway next time I run into the issue before using the airplane mode fix.

my GSIII config:

AT&T version

Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Stock (Samsung) ROM

Kernel 3.0.31-274808

Just though I would share with you guys some cool apps that I have compiled in my android career. In my opinion, porting over an iPhone app to make it work on Android just doesn't look or feel right. So here are some droid-esque applications that I have found that really show off android. Feel free to add in some other awesome apps as you see fit.

Weather app- Eye in the Sky. This app is pretty awesome looking. It has an android look and feel to it and is very minimalistic. The paid version removes ads, and this in my mind makes the app what it is-- a simple one that shows you what you need to see. Not too much, not too little. Could use a radar of some sort, but it is great. (FREE- $1.19 to remove ads)

News App- Press (Google Reader). This is one of my favorites. It is an RSS reader that is stripped to bare bones. It does exactly what it needs to do, in showing what you are subscribed to RSS-wise, but in the process its an app that would make an android developer happy to see that it had so much thought and effort put in to it. It is really a great looking and functional app that removes bloat and allows for top performance ($1.99)

Sports App- ESPN ScoreCenter is a given. Wish there was a way to remove ads, because I would pay for it. Hate ads. They recently did a huge overhaul in iOS and Android and optimized performance. It really brought the app out of 2008. (FREE)

Twitter Client- Tweedle for Twitter. This is another Android styled app, that really embodies the stock ICS/JB look and incorporates it into a simple Twitter app that is easy to use. (FREE)

Photo Editor- Snapseed. Probably the coolest photo editing app I have ever seen. It is incredibly feature ridden (this is a good thing), and you can manipulate any photo to whatever you want. Essentially an Instagram 2.0 if I've ever seen one.

These are my favorite apps. Share yours, there are plenty of people searching for "must-have android apps" during this Christmas season! I will add them into this list! And while the ones above are not must have status, they are pretty darned cool.
[Nexus 7 General] DeFcOn:
As you could we in the title, this thread about governors.

I'm sure not only I'm not the only one who want to know the best governor+setting to get the best performance and a good battery life too. So I decided to open this discussion.

Write below what governor do you prefer with what settings of it and why exactly would you like to prefer it.

[Nexus 7 General] RootTheMachine:
As with many things, there is no "best" governor. Some are best for performance, others for battery life. Some strive for getting the best of both. However, many manufacturers and devs use ondemand, as it is a great balance of battery and performance, plus it is tried and true. The Nexus 7 ships with interactive, which may respond quicker. It pretty much comes down to your choice.

[Android Software Development] Justin Buser:
I'm not sure why the decision was made to start dividing up the Android Development Forums into regular and "Original" versions but I personally feel like it's pointless and confusing, especially for people who have been using this site for several years.

At the very least they should be named more appropriately, the word original makes it sound like you're talking about modified stock ROMs etc..., i.e. what was originally on the device.

The entire point of an open source community is that different people can work on different things. I guarantee you that some of the so called "unoriginal" ROMs out there had just as much work and time go into them as anyone else's. So this is basically a just a slap in the face to anyone who is new to this type of development, it certainly would not encourage anyone to continue contributing and learning.

The bottom line is that the only "Original" Android ROMs come from here: http://source.android.com , even Cyanogen MOD is still 90% someone else's code/work. Essentially the whole thing amounts to elitist segregation, aside from Linus Torvald there isn't a person alive today that has any right to thumb their nose at another open source developers efforts simply because they didn't think they were worthy of being recognized.
[Android Software Development] DSA:

Actually it has nothing to do with that, there are many modified stock ROMs in the original forums. Unless of course you're referring to those as well in which case EVERYTHING is based on the AOSP. In either case I hope you voted for option two :)

[Android Software Development] DSA:

Total waste of a thread...it will accomplish nothing and is just a rant from you

[Android Software Development] singletracking:
I agree with the OP.

Having two forums for the development of Android for one device makes no sense.

At the very least, a sticky at the top of every "original" forum needs to interpret why the forum is different to the standard development forum.
