Here's some screenshots I took a little bit ago. The media thing has disappeared from the battery stats altogether. The settings under my google account were all checked, but I did uncheck as you see in the screenshot. I also have a samsung apps account but disabled the sync in it already. Those are the only two accounts I have. The "Media" already disappeared before I unchecked picasa and google movies and tv, neither of which do I use. I do use google play music though. Could that had been what was appearing in the battery stats earlier as media? Other than these few settings in my google account and the samsung account I don't know what else could be syncing. What is the "Internet" sync for under the google account and should I uncheck it?

Thanks

Been on "Goodness" since 7.0.0 with whatever kernel was included (stock I believe) and nothing but stellar battery performance so far. I am on wifi all day though.

Have you thought about getting a new battery? I'm think about doing this. Battery life is just "okay" for me now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cazman420:
Do you use google play music? cause its causing wake locks. My phone never went into deep sleep. It was 100% awake. Rebooting should solve it. Till you use google music again of course.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rmstorms:
I dunno guys. It has gotten sporadic. The other day my battery lasted 9 hours. Then I charged it and it only lasted 5 hours. One time I check on the battery under settings and it said that the "Android OS" was using most of the batter. The last time I check it I got a screenshot and it said that the "Phone" was taking most of it and I didn't even call any one. I'm thinking of just doing a true wipe, and unrooting the phone and counter reset. Just to see what battery I get by going comoletely stock. Then maybe rerooting it. At the moment, I don't know what is happening and I really don't think the rom or the kernel has anything to do with it. I installed betterbatterystats and I don't know really know how to read the data.. I'm just stumped... blegh...

EvEFreeze the Sprint connections optimizer.

I've read those power saving mode things are counterproductive so i don't use them.

One thing that drastically helped me was navigating to system/bin using a file explorer, locating gsiff_daemon and qosmgr and renaming them to include .bak at the end. These are know battery hogs although I'm not smart enough to tell you why. You can always rename them back if it doesn't work. Be sure to reboot after renaming.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rmstorms:
I did locate qosmgr as I noticed it was going nuts when I would display the cpu usage under developer options. I have heard of the other one but haven't noticed it running. Oh well may as well give it a shot. I have the connection optimizer turned off so it won't keep searching for a wifi connection and I can just turn wifi on and off as wanted. I do, however have the power saver options turned on. They worked great for me when unrooted. Hmm. Next task will be to locate that other file and rename it. Worth a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beyeond:
I added some screen shots of my battery stats...One with over 6 hrs screen time which is just insane. Another with 4.5 hours screen time using 67% of battery. I highly recommend Odexed Blue ROM. Ever since i flashed it my battery is off the charts.

The connections optimized sometimes will turn itself back on. Turn it off then freeze that $#!%

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rmstorms:
As mentioned in my other post in this thread. I'm considering it just to see if I still get the awesome battery life I used to get before I rooted. Then from there I would root again. Just a consideration if my battery life doesn't improve.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beyeond:
Again in by no means an expert man but i seriously doubt rooting I'd causing your problem... a rom or kernel might, but not just rooting. Maybe someone will correct more if I'm wrong, but i doubt it.

Odexed Blue Holy Grail v2.2 LJ7 by strongsteve
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rmstorms:
Yeah I know it isn't from rooting. It is just I don't know what caused the battery drain.. I installed odexed blue, and I got a major increase in battery life. Only problem is I don't like the ROM because it's just too much blue for me. Lol I don't mean to be picky.. just hurts my eyes.. why? I dunno. But the battery life is great so far. So now I just need to find the right ROM. Ugh.. maybe just a stock ROM and kernel with the lame ol' Samsung boot up and shutdown animations. Hmmm.. but thanks for your help. At least now I know it is draining due to something in the ROM or kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beyeond:
Android system seems a little high...

Run gsam battery monitor or BetterBatteryStats for a cycle and post some screenshots...

If you don't like Odexed Blue maybe try another touchwiz based ROM like wicked sensations.

I can't comment on that rom but I am running the goodness rom and my battery works great. I would say at least as good when I was on rooted stock. The roms is very stable and has tons of options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rmstorms:
Running the Wicked Sensations ROM now. Getting great battery life.. Had to be a rogue app causing me issues before. Thanks for all the help! The screenshot below if of course a result without much usage. But still, definitely an improvement from what it was. Happy with my phone again. Lol!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beyeond:
Cool. Glad you're getting your money's worth. I haven't run wicked sensations, i love Odexed Blue, but i know the developers are friends and theming companions, so seemed like a good rec. Plus they're both touch wiz based ROMs

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jake232:
Hi,

To preface this, I have never posted on a forum before as I have always been able to find people with similar problems. However, this time I am stuck.

I had my I777 rooted and running the Task650 aokp JB rom. Everything was working great. Then I decided to get greedy and tried to dual boot an ICS rom in order to get MHL capabilities. (Shostock ICS) I used this thread as a guide. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1890274) I did not realize that it was for the Note 2, not the S2...

However, I think I still could have gotten myself out of trouble if my phone had not run out of power during installation. The phone abruptly shut off, and when it came back on, the Samsung logo appeared for a second before slowly fading out to a distorted white screen. I cannot get into recovery mode, it only shows the white screen when it is plugged in, and my computer will not recognize it. (I should note that computer never recognized it when it was running jelly bean, but I never bothered to fix it.)

I took the battery out overnight and tried it in the morning. no change. I left it plugged in all day, this caused it to get very hot and I quickly unplugged it.

I have posted a YouTube video that briefly shows the boot loop and the white screen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEuR3qn9Grs&feature=youtu.be

The most recent fix I have tried was ADB Portable, but my computer did not recognize the phone.

I'm out of ideas and desperate. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
Did u try to get into recovery with the button combo...without the micro usb plugged in ? (I see u had it plugged in in the video).

Can u get into download mode ? Gotta jig ? And if yes, then u will need to flash a stock firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jake232:
Yes I have tried the button combo without it being plugged in, but only after its been sitting on the charger for awhile. Still get the white screen. Can't get into download mode, no response from the computer whatsoever. Not sure what a jig is/means.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jake232:
Just researched a jig. Do you think I have a shot of getting it to work given the fact that my computer wont recognize it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
See my signature link below if ur on a pc or in a browser. There r links there on how to make a download mode jig and/or where to buy one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jake232:
Say I am able to get it into download mode, can I just reflash my old jelly bean rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
Nope. U will have to flash a Stock firmware with Odin or Heimdall.

Then if successful, u can move on to flashin a cwm kernel and then a dev rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jake232:
Ok, thanks. Just ordered a jig. Will update when it gets here. Does it matter if the stock firmware is GB or ICS? I cant remember what it had on it before I flashed the JB rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
Doesn't matter...GB or ICS. Whichever u want to choose.

Just don't do a wipe data/factory reset on the ICS firmware i777ucle5 with the stock le5 kernel, because of the potential eMMC brick bug. See the stock firmware threads for more info. And yep, keep us posted on what happens.

Later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jake232:
I was able to get it into download mode simply by removing the battery and holding down the volume buttons while plugging it into the computer!

I am a bit overwhelmed with all of the stock firmware/kernal combinations on here. I would like to return to stock GB, but keep my root. Can anyone recommend something?

[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Hey everyone :p , this is just another mod from me

So, as you all know when we click on the multi task button we see the recent apps we have just used till that time.But as some of you might know

the stock number of recent apps pannel is about 18-21(in this range not sure the exact number).

This MOD eliminates the stock value of the number of recent apps displayed and puts it to a value much larger than the stock value (around 50 could be even more :))

How to Install This MOD:

1.The First thing you have to do is get your services.jar supercharged and also install the sense4 app limit from this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914159

Or you can use install supercharged services.jar from the Aroma customiser too

2.After this just push the attached file to /system/app and change the permission to rw-r-r-

3.Thats it ,now you should be able to see a lot more recent app panels,this really helps in multitasking and is best used along with V6 supercharger :)

How to Test If this MOD worked:

Just open as many apps as you can before the mod is installed and see how many recent app panes are visible(should be around 21)

And also do the same thing after you install this MOD and see how many recent app panels are visble :cool:

Please Do comment on this thread if you cant get this to work or have any doubt :)

Credits:

1. zeppelinrox for the sense4 app limit tweak

2. steal25 for his guide to get unlimited app panels

3. einstein frat for the SystemUI.apk (This is based on his latest SystemUI.apk and I have also addedtranparent notification panel to it :D)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
Hey guys, long time lurker, 1st time poster. I made a mistake with a miniCM9 ROM install.

I've had no problem rooting, unlocking the BL, Flashtool etc...

And I've done this before with a little Huawei and had no issues.

This time trying with a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro.

I installed nAa's ICS kernel (u20_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04.ftf), which worked fine. Then tried to install a ROM (MiniCM9-3.0.5-mimmi.zip).

And yes, I did read everything on the guides several times. BUT I was pretty sure I had the required firmware, my guess is that I didn't (Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware).

And yes I have searched and searched (and then searched some more) the forum for another noob who has asked the same question.

Anyway, here I am 3 days later with my tail between my legs :silly:

I would be most appreciative if someone can point me to a nice kernal like nAa's and a ROM that I can use previous to 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware (I'm pretty sure that is the problem.)

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Quite impressive, you list everything you've done. Only thing you've forgotten to do is tell us what your problem actually is :)

I'm guessing you lost your signal?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
Well that's a better reply than asking what I have done ;)

"BUT I was pretty sure I had the required firmware, my guess is that I didn't (Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware)."

"I would be most appreciative if someone can point me to a nice kernal like nAa's and a ROM that I can use previous to 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware (I'm pretty sure that is the problem.)"

That's my problem (where I said pretty sure that's the problem ; )

The kernel guide didn't mention the need for that firmware but the ROM guide did. I thought I had that one, but I don't think I did.

Is there another easy to use Kernel that is compatible with the old firmware?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
NO, that is not your problem... you flashed the right kernel and the right ROM, so what is not working for you? The thing that is not working is the problem.

Whether you did or did not have the right firmware may be the cause of your problem, but it is not your problem. So, what is not working???

Can you boot up the phone? If so, go to settings - about phone and check your baseband version, it should end in 4015 if you had the right firmware to start with :) If so, then that is not the cause of your problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
The phone gets the nAa splash screen repeating, can get into recovery and mount USB easily, load the ROM from SDcard, no workie, still gets nAa splash screen.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Did you do: Wipe data/Factory reset, Wipe Cache and in the Advanced-menu: Wipe Dalvik-cache and Wipe Batterystats?

If the ROM doesn't boot, do those wipes again, it will usually work better if you do those wipes after you install the ROM.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
I followed all the instructions on the guide, I did a wipe data/factory reset. Haven't tried the Dalvik part, I'll give it a go. Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
I tried all that, still just get the nAa splash screen.

Anyone know how to check the firmware version when it's in this state?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Find S1Tool, if you haven't got it already, and click the identify button :) I'm pretty sure it will tell you what is on your phone, but if you flashed the MiniCM9 ROM it should show Android 4.0 as version.

If all else fails, repair your phone with Sony Update Service or PC Companion, it will give you the latest official firmware, and then try again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
Thanks, I'll give that a go. PC Companion didn't work for me before that's why I tried the other method.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
Ok, S1Tool says:

SOFTWARE VERSION: 1235-3411_2.1.1.A.0.6 - does that mean that's the firmware?

FILESYSTEM VERSION: WORLD-1-2-5_2.0.A.504 - or this number?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rempty:
S1Tool not recognize the version of android (i use GB version), i tested it.

MODEL (from GDFS): U20a

SOFTWARE VERSION: 1235-3411_2.1.1.A.0.6

CUSTOM VERSION: 1239-2460_R4B

FILESYSTEM VERSION: WORLD-1-2-5_2.1.1.A.0.6

Azazel dont use PC Companion, dont work, use instead Sony Update Service.

Sorry for my english.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
So using the Sony Update Service should make it usable again, even with the new Kernel and ROM on there?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rempty:
No will update your phone with the last stock rom (unbricked phone).

After that try again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] A z a z e l:
Thanks guys, managed to get the phone working again. Thought it was SIM locked again, but it's come good.

Will try the update again in a couple of days.

The ROM guide says you need "Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015"

My phone says I have Firmware version 2.1 -update 1 and the above Baseband version.

Any ideas why the Kernel loaded fine but the ROM wouldn't work?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rempty:
View if your bootloader is already unlocked.

Copy the rom and gaaps to your sdcard

Reboot on recovery mode.

Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache

Flash rom, flash gaaps

Reboot your phone

and wait to boot 5 to 10 min.

Sorry 4 my english

So I ordered this 4500 mAh extended battery by Gorilla Gadgets and received it today. After putting the battery in the phone, I turned it on and plugged it up like manufacturer's recommend!! As soon as my phone comes on, an error pops up that reads "battery disconnected." I have removed the battery several times and started over to see if that might help. Nothing I done helped at all. I am getting that annoying error popping up every minute or two and the battery is not charging at all. I kept working with it until the battery is actually almost dead. So does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or what I need to do? I've read so many reviews about this battery from other people who have bought it and they are almost all very satisfied. So i'm thinking I might have just gotten a bit unlucky and just got a bad one. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. But it's looking more and more like i'm just going to have to suck it up and send it back and wait for another one to be shipped again. Again, any feedback would still be appreciated! Thanks.

I had the phone rooted (After ota) but put it back to stock since via odin / factory reset.

Ever since I got my OTA in december. I cannot send or receive pictures in any 3rd party app. I've tried chomp, handsent and gosms. The native app works fine.

As soon as the app goes to load the picture it force closes the app. Changing the setting for retrieve automatically makes no difference.

Is there some settings I might be missing? As far as I know I haven't changed anything.

NOTE: I should also note that once I download the picture in the native app it loads perfectly fine in the 3rd party apps.
