[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Product F(RED):
DC-HSPA+ exists here in the US on T-Mobile although it's only compatible with the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 at the moment since it uses 1700/2100 MHz for 3G/HSPA+.

The Qualcomm 4G sticker is on your device because unlike the S3 i9300, you guys have a Qualcomm RIL/LTE modem. DC-HSPA+ is determined by the network (it's either supported or not), but I think that all phones support it.

Seems like my battery dies very fast on my Skyrocket and cant seem to get the right tweaks. I was wondering if someone could tell me what ROM and kernel they are using that has great battery life.

Thanks Finisher1214
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
No. Flash and test yourself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crashpsycho:
Although your intentions aren't meant to be a best of thread it is... no one can really judge a ROM Based on YOUR use...

So you need to try it out on your own and check battery help thread it will help a lot...

So far on my usage embryo and dirty unicorns work good for me but I have Gnex battery

like I said u gotta find out on your own

I have a stock battery and have used every ROM available and I can say that all of them can perform very well if you know what you're doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
What's "very fast"? You can get a significant drain in a few hours if your using it intensely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Finisher1214:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Do some reading and research
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TTGZDOG:
wakelock is where the cpu dosent go into a deep sleep mode and just keeps pulling voltage
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pussycrusher:
i've had my 727 for about a year now with multiple flashes. if in deep sleep, battery life is VERY good, i'm talking 2-4% attrition an hour tops. but under usage, 15 minutes will drop me 7-10% depending on what i'm doing. does anyone have this same issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
I get 1% an hour deep sleep, sometimes less, but I don't background sync so...

also my best was 1 day 5 hours with over 3 hours screen on time on LTE only
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pussycrusher:
Sounds about right for me then. There is definitely some battery capacity loss as it drains a bit faster than a year ago.

i leave LTE on at all times, brightness between low and auto, and my total screen time will be around 1.5-2 hours max.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
the only way to get above 2 hours onscreen time is to heavily under volt, -75mV or above if u can. if you aren't already, you're missing out. Battery gains for no performance loss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pussycrusher:
thanks for the reply Icenight89. i've never done this before, just played with governor settings under performance.

do you recommend setcpu or voltage control?

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

I just wanted to say that I installed TFQ Lightning zap kernel on top of vincoms SUPERLITE, and used his recommended underclock / undervolt / governor / io settings. I will report back in a few days once I've had a few runs with this setting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
super lite is a good, stable ROM, no bells and whistles, only what u need for a dd. lightning kernel is stable, and I recommend either voltage control or incredicontrol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 26.2man:
Im using Mohans latest Embryo 6.1 and tried both of the voltage controls you referred to and incdredicontrol gave me messages that stated there was a conflict with the kernel. I Installed voltage control but it appears the minimum I can set it is 192 mhz which is the same settings in the performance tweeks portion of the rom. I read earlier that it could be taken as low as 75. Any idea what I might be overlooking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You can't uv on embryo 6.1. And you can't uc to 75, that's retarded low dude. Dafuq.

Hey mtdew and xcrazydx, sorry I insulted your superior intelligence. When I read icenights responce to a question on improving battery life and he mentioned volting down to 75Mv I figured I would see if it were possible to do the same on the Embryo 6.1. I did a search and could not find any comments or instructions in the 6.1 threads regarding undervolting so I thought I would ask but as usual its flames on us guys that are just trying to learn and might ask what is perceived as a dumb question. Just remember you guys were not always so knowledgeable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Sometimes you need a thick skin on here, it can get a little crazy, pun intended. lol There's under clocking and under volting. The lowest under clocking you can reasonably go down to is 192 mHz. Under volting is different and you can lower the voltage by 75 mv or maybe 100 on some roms (kernels). The kernel of 6.1 does not support the under volting. It does let you uc to 192 mhz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Not in my history on this site I suggest you do your research before making wild insinuations. I may be newer to the site but I always do research and I gained my knowledge through google. If you don't understand a basic topic Google it with xda at the end I bet money there is a thread to help you understand.

Hi, I hate the samsung messaging app. I find the color scheme is very bland and crappy.

I've been using a ported jellybean app found on the market, but I like the samsung messaging app icon and badges that It has.

Would it be possible to redirect that icon to launch the jellybean messaging? Both could be running.

Nope. You can install a launcher and then change the icon to whatever you like.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I present you, the guide to locations in Android source in comparison to compiled ROMs.

You can of course also look this up in makefiles

I've tried to divide it into easy categories.

folders/apps

frameworks/base/core --> /system/framework/framework-res.apk

frameworks/base/policy --> /system/framework/policy.jar

frameworks/base/packages/System-UI --> /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk

packages --> most of system/app

excluded from that: Development.apk, DocumentsUI.apk, PacProcessor.apk, PicoTts.apk, Term.apk, ThemeChooser.apk, WAPPushManager.apk, WhisperPush.apk

files

Changes to the setup

files in here are imported and used along the files your device tree specifies. Changes for all devices can therefor best be made to:

vendor/cm/config

You can change toolchains in envsetup.sh which is in build.

This commit changes the inline kernel toolchain to the 4.7 GCC Linaro toolchain.

https://github.com/TeamFun/android_build/commit/73b914051a03afd81ad8ccaf39058aa6ae5af4ea

Toolchains used for compiling ROM components are supposed to be in "prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm"

If you want to contribute to this, put the info in here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zun26nTWR7p54-SAP0Ol5oPX8bC4QjL9z3tm-Gz7UF8/edit?usp=sharing

Shoot me a PM and I'll make sure to put it in the guide.

(Disclaimer: noob.) As with previous poster, I can't post attachments in the right place, so apologies to people who don't want to read about WinRT ports.

This is vim 7.3. I included in the zip a diff against the 7.3 source tree for anyone wanting to build themselves. These binaries were built with "OPTIMIZE=SPACE" and the patch uses a CRT DLL so the binaries are much smaller than the x86 versions.

For those wishing to run the binary:

1. unzip somewhere

2. unzip /pub/vim/pc/vim73rt.zip from ftp.vim.org into the same location (couldn't include these due to attachment size limits, and can't link due to being a noob)

3. [UPDATED] Remove vim\vim73\libintl.dll. This is included in the vim73rt.zip file, is not compiled for ARM, and is not part of the vim source distribution.

4. run vim\vim73\install.exe. This is a console app that will allow you to configure install locations and settings.

No known bugs, but no extensive testing either :) Credit to all vim authors, bugs are my fault.
[General Topics] GoodDayToDie:
Fantastic, thank you very much! It's great to see stuff like this.

The full URL for the runtime files: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/vim73rt.zip
[General Topics] GoodDayToDie:
UPDATE: Runs well, except every time it tries to start, it complains (multiple times) about vim\vim73\libintl.dll being "not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."

Assuming it's not just an unpacker problem, this may be something that should be addressed. However, the programs (vim, gvim, install.exe, etc.) run fine anyhow. I just renaked that file to libintl.dll.bad and now everything runs without the warnings.
[General Topics] malxau:
Yes, when I prepared the full .zip I deleted this, forgot to include that in the instructions. It's an x86 DLL included in the vim73rt.zip that doesn't seem essential. The applications don't link to it explicitly.
[General Topics] bfosterjr:
This is fantastic! I was looking at tackling vim but hadn't gotten to it yet... Thanks!
[General Topics] TimothyJB:
Thanks for your work on this, working great for me.

A couple of quick notes. Is it possible to update vim to 7.4 on my surface or will trying this break it? Or any chance for an updated version to be compiled for Windows RT?

Also I can open the standard vim (not gvim) from the icon on the start screen, but the vim command does not work in the run menu or the command prompt, is this a limitation or a bug?

Was thinking about factory resetting my phone. For some reason the WatchESPN app isn't working and I thought that

if I factory reset my phone it will work again. Question is, Will I lose root if I factory reset my phone.. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Geezer Squid:
If only one app is having issues I'd uninstall and reinstall the app. Factory Data Reset is really a "last resort" sort of thing. And the main thing it does for you is to uninstall all the apps you've installed and then reinstalls them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Why not just wipe the application data for Watch ESPN? As far as Factory Reset, it wipes /data and /cache. If you're using stock recovery, this will include the internal SD card, so pictures, videos, etc. that you have taken will also be wiped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
The idea of factory reset can be quiet confusing in android. The word "factory reset" is fancy enough to trick you that it will restore everything back to where it was...but all it does is just clearing stored cache, data, and etc etc., and it does NOT promise you anything. In lots of circumstances, damaged system or installed apps can't be restored, and they are ended up getting firmware flashed by manufacturer (some Verizon stores do flash firmware but many don't). Let's say you're rooted and removed all the bloats using system app remover. That's not going to restore your bloats to where it was....and you'll be rejected from receiving OTA update.

To get back to your question, "Will I lose root if I factory reset my phone?" I think it really depends on how you rooted. I think if you rooted your phone by flashing rooted image, then probably not. But if you use ADB shell to root your phone, you may lose your root.

Try to clear your cache and see if it works again.....I think that's the best way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I agree you probably don't need a factory reset here. But no you will not lose root. Root is custom binaries inside the system that will not be touched. Depending how you installed your super user app I guess you could lose that, but you who's just have to download one

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Similarly explained in the following thread from last week,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36908128

The AMOLED Displays use an "Active-Matrix" compared to standard OLED's in today's flag ship televisions which do not have an Active Matrix.

In AMOLED, as a result of continuous low voltage that is being fed into OLED via the TFT even in the lowest brightness, the blacks won't be necessarily black.

Every Note 2 has the Mura Effect like in previous Galaxy Devices. However, the manufacturing process has slightly improved, but not to the extent we all would like it to be.

Unfortunately, I don't consider our displays to feature local dimming, because individual pixels do not actually turn off. Blacks are not blacks, as a result of the varying voltage.

Although there are improvements to the AMOLED display as explained here,

http://www.ignisinnovation.com/technology/ignis-technology-overview/ignis-admo-p-technology

Unfortunately, even though the solution provided in the above link by ignisinnovation has been in the market for a couple of years already, Samsung does not employ these kind of standards, therefore every AMOLED display has the Mura effect but in varying degrees such as in the form of stains, lines, blobs, dots, and splothces. This can also affect the display output when it comes to uniformity because the TFT is solely responsible for the luminescence of individual sub-pixels on the OLED film.

The AMOLED displays are improved with compensation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctA114zaY98

When I say manufacturing has gotten better, I meant that Samsung's method of making slightly better AMOLED displays has been accomplished by changing the voltage and better quality control handling.

The material has been slightly improved; the material used on today's AMOLED displays is purer than let's say the material that was used on the S2 and Note 1.

Let's hope that future AMOLED displays by Samsung will be free of Mura and other Quality Defects.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
I haven't noticed any such effects with the Note 2, but I did notice them on the Galaxy Nexus, when brightness was turned down 'below' what the factory minimum level was set to (20).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
They still exist on all Note 2's in a form which appears less severe and is different from the one you observed in the Galaxy Nexus
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vebulous:
The only screen "defect", if you will, that I've noticed on my note 2 is as described below:

When a pure black screen is displayed and it is observed in a completely black room, there is a noticeable red glow emitted from the screen itself. Like the red sub-pixels doesn't turn off completely or something. The brightness contol affects the brightness of the prominent red glow.

Not really an annoyance, and I rarely even care, I just wonder why. I figure if the blacks completely shut off the sub-pixels, It would save battery power (a negligible amount)

I compared this same scenario on a Nexus S that my sister has, and her screen is completely black compared to mine (which glows red).

I just thought I'd make a comment on the subject matter.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
hiii,

i bought my note 2 on 29-1-2013

now what i noticed in my screen,

there middle 10% part is shaded with 1% opacity,

if we look closely then it's not noticable as u seen from far,

from naked eyes is too difficult to see,

its not like Colours are gone, only looks like shade,

if i increase brightness to 100% then the small shade like finish.

i m confused that it is defected or not,

is that Normal, does nay body heard that type of case,

Please make me happy,tell me that it is Normal,I dont wana give my phone to bad service guys. :crying:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Thats normal on the Note2, between the Galaxy S/S2/Note1 the note 2 has the 'brightest' blacks while the S1 has the dimmest and they dont really shut off.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Had dots on my Galaxy S2, dots and lines on my Note 1, dots/lines on my Tab 7.7

No dots/lines on my Galaxy S and Note 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
I've noticed that the black levels have changed over the last couple of Galaxy-line generations. I never saw anything significant with the Galaxy S, but that was because the blacks were more dark. Moving further into the subsequent years, the blacks began showing the Mura Effect very prominently. Every AMOLED display will have its quality variations. The units that do have the "noticeable" Mura Effect may even survive longer than the units that do have Mura Effect, but without lines, dots, and other artifacts. Its a give or take; if you buy a new AMOLED unit today, you will definitely come across some artifacts, especially dots. Each display manufactured requires special attention in order to perfect the manufacturing process, but this almost never happens in Samsung's assembly line, only because AMOLED technology is a very delicate piece of hardware.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rymote:
hi.. i have an international SGN2 with normal super AMOLED display which is too much in contrast. if you want to have a crystal clear display why not choose true hd ips screen?

sorry my english..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Many don't choose the True HD IPS screen because many have the misconception that AMOLED displays provide a better color gamut, therefore a providing richer colors, accurate RGB, and premium experience. However, this is no longer necessarily the case. True HD IPS Displays have come a long way and are now thought to be leading the way for mobile displays. AMOLED is not the same as true OLED which provides deeper blacks and bright whites. Even though in an AMOLED display, individual pixels do turn off in the presence of black, the active matrix leaves the transistor film actively on. That's where the term Active-Matrix comes from. So much for AMOLED. It is speculation that Samsung may use SLCD's on their Samsung Galaxy S4 this year, according to a recent article on GSMArena.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Id prefer sammy go back to LCD's and develop it further, AMOLED just has way to many uniformity issues for those who are not lucky. If sammy can produce a 'backlight bleeding free' SLCD then Im sold, as long as theres a way to increase the color saturation :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
Is s4 has this kind of issue too? Like mura effect..? I think s4 has too...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Sorry for bumping this thread into 2014, speaking of the Note 4, Samsung seems to have done some interesting software mods, but the hardware is still relatively same behavior when you test the displays using Supercurio's app. It's gruesome to know, but I've been with the AMOELD family since 2011. Have you moved up to the Note 4, EarlZ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Nope, I did get the Note 3 for my 24 month contract. Same old issues exist black is still problematic (no more black crush though) as you can see white spots the screen if its not displaying something that is totally black.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
These AMOLED panels are still in its infantile state, but more like it its pre-teen years undergoing puberty. I'd give it a couple more years for the technology to fully mature.

hi guys, can anyone help me with my problem i have an evo 3d and the battery life just SUCKS it lasts like 2 hours on standby

and when i charge it with a usb cable it dosent charge the led turns red but dosent charge just lasts longer and on wall adapter charges but take like 20 hours to 100% and i really appreciate if anyone can help me beacuse im sick of it...and if anyone knows a good rom for the battery life i would be thankful.. thanx again guys :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
There's a few things you can try.

Your battery could be the culprit. Try swapping out batteries to see if that the problem

Your charger cord could be bad. Try swapping those out as well.

If your WiFi, Bluetooth, auto sync 4g are on, turn them off. Facebook, twitter and gmail auto sync notifications are notorious battery drainers.

If you have any task killer apps installed uninstall them. They do not do you any good. Androids os operates differently and having low ram doesn't slow down your phone. So there's no need for them.

Some apps are also battery killers. Install system panel lite and turn on system monitor for a day to see which apps are eating up your memory. Those are contributers of battery drain.

Once you have done all of these things you should have more battery life.

Then try flashing some sense ROMs. Aokp jellybean has really good battery life and has a well developed kernel for it. Just to name a few.
[HTC EVO 3D] yaman salloura:
