[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
1.TW is Samsung's ui while AOSP is Android before Samsung messed with it.

2. You don't have to use titanium backup if you don't want to as there is a simpler alternative called Super Backup.

3. You don't flash launchers .

4. When flashing ROMs you only lose apps not data.

5. The stock ROMs are in the android development section.

6. Suggestions for ROMs are based on biases so it is best that you check the ROMs yourself. Whatever ROMs work for others might not work for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentality513:
what kind of rom would you suggest I try first? TW or AOSP? would super backup restore all my apps after flashing a rom? Thanks for all your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Most of the AOSP 4.2 ROMs are in beta stages so I would advise you to hold out until they are in the final stages. So the TW ROMs and the stable 4.1 AOSP ROMs are the way to go for now. Super Backup does restore and backup apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentality513:
what the difference between a rom and kernal. Are kernals aosp & tw or roms? Sorry for all the n00b questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Kernels are not ROMs. In real world terms the kernel serves as a translator for your phone's hardware and software to communicate with each other. ROMs are customized versions of Android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexyaz:
I still suggest Titanium Back up if you want to invest in the pro key the features are a lot better. If you turn into a flashaholic like myself then nothing beats restoring your system to the same way before the flash with one click. but the market has multiple backup apps and i know different people like different apps but TB with pro key I think seems to be the fastest with the most features.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elai012488:
I really am close to killing myself due to sadness and disappointment because of my phone's battery life. lol. I have a Galaxy Note 2(4.1.1 ver) and my battery lasts for 12-16 hours. I use it mostly for Facebook, Google, Viber and YouTube. I have other typical social networking/comm apps (YM,Skype, Instagram,Twitter) but I dont use them often. I have less than 10 games (Temple Run2, Angry Birds, Diamond Dash) but I dont play for more than 15 mins. I have observed that when my phone is NOT in use, it decreases by 7-10% per hour (sometimes 1% per minute on idle) during the day. At night, before I go to sleep, it is a fully charged phone and when I wake up, 25% of the battery's life is gone within 8hrs of not touching it even to check the time. I dont know if its the normal draining rate of the battery, if its a factory defect on the battery or the phone itself, or if it is the app or android system. They say you need to turn off the location or something but I couldn't seem to find it. My phone is just 4 days old, or maybe 5. Im hoping when the phone turns a week old, things will be better. Or should I try to kill myself now? Any possible solutions???

PS. Please try to use "simple" instructions or terms. I really am not good about technology.

Good Lord! You wanna suicide for some ****in phone's ****in battery life? Come on man. This is a simple gadget, not your child or family. Use it heavy, have fun recharge it, throw it when you are done, then use it when you in need again.

Anyway, I think you are using 3G, turn it off if you don't need it, you'll notice massive battery life increase, but if you can't disable it then I will say get used with that.

There are two simple things,

With 3G- Moderate battery life. You CAN NOT do anything to increase it.

With 2G- Solid battery life.

PS: IMO, 4.1.2 has even bad backup.

What does BBS say under "Process"?

Also, check the built-in process manager: Long-press the home button and click the pie chart. Switch to the first tab.

Is there an app where the CPU percentage changes even though the app should be sleeping and steady at 0.00%? I see that quite frequently. Mostly by the stock browser and the XDA premium app. Thats how I found the worst ones :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperM3:
Backstory: I switched from AT&T to Straight Talk AT&T last May. In December I decided to try the T-Mo sim on Straight Talk. After a few weeks I decided to go back to the AT&T sim which I changed back to last Sunday.

About the middle of last week my phone just stopped receiving texts from people on Verizon. I called Straight Talk customer service and the best advice they had for me(after being hold for an hour) was try turning off my phone and then back on.

So yesterday I decided I was fed up with Straight Talk and went back to AT&T hoping this issue would clear up. Unfortunately, it hasnt. I called up AT&T customer service last night and they put in a ticket to try to resolve the issue.

Im twisted because I switched from Straight Talk to AT&T just to get rid of this issue but its still happening.

Anyone ever have this happen and know how it got resolved?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingNazgul:
Hello everyone,

I've been a lurker for some years now (sorry) and I've gotten great how to's and fixes from many contributors on this forum, so I'd like to first and foremost thank everyone for their help. With that being said, I would appreciate any type of input on my following problem.

A friend has a Galaxy S3 on AT&T. He doesn't have unlimited data so he usually keeps mobile data off. Whenever he receives a picture message he has to toggle the data switch on and off. Sometimes he forgets to switch it off and his battery drains and his data usage goes up.

My workaround includes using the app Widgetsoid to create a toggle for mobile data but I would like to incorporate a timer in the command prompt option.

I noticed that it has an option for a custom command prompt to be executed when the widget is toggled. Could anyone create a line of code which I can use to turn mobile data on and then off in a specified amount of time? Or are there any other workarounds which I'm missing.

Thank you.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Noppes123:
I have a 920 that came preinstalled with Portico ROM version (I bought it about two weeks ago). It's a great phone and improvement over my LM800.

One thing is bothering me, though. In low-light conditions the screen brightness keeps changing from normal and readable to hardly readable. It's like the light sensor is constantly flipping between two states. I read some report on the internet that I am not the only one.

Some suggested that it could be fixed by turning the phone of and turning it on in complete darkness and unlock the screen. That sounded a bit strange, since the screen will emit a lot of light during the boot process, but I tried it anyway... didn't work.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ardabelati:
Hi guys

I am new and never flash firmware on HTC before.

I have go HTC one XL from hongkong unlocked with JB (just recently got the official download) but not happy with the data connection speed and it is very slow for some reason. ICS was better than the Hongkong official JB release unfortunately.

Since I am in Australia I want to flash my firmware with the stock rooted Telstra [ROM] 01/01/13 Stock rooted odexed JB Telstra_WWE_3.17.841.2.

Can some one pls point me to the right direction - I am not sure where to start (previously I own SG2 and flashed firmware no issues).

I am aware that there are more options on how to flash in HTC I am abit worried that I might follow the incorrect steps

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Unfortunately, some changes were deployed in the official JB update which causes the touch screen to not function if you try changing to any ROM that is not also Sense JB. So currently, if you flash an ICS ROM, the touch screen will not work.

Devs may be working on this. But its more likely that it won't be solved until we have kernel source for JB. Until the issue is fixed, you are stuck with Sense JB ROMs.

If you still want to be able to flash custom ROMs, the proper sequence is:

- Unlock bootloader at HTCDev.com

- Install TWRP recovery

- Download custom ROM, and copy to phone's SD

- Flash ROM in TWRP

- Flash boot.img using fastboot

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ardabelati:
Hi guys

Been trying to read the suggested link. I am seriously confused.

Do I need to unlock my bootloader?

Is the any tutorial for complete newbie?

Thanks guys
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
You need to read until it makes sense as a complete newbie will just end up bricking the phone.

You do need to unlock the bootloader. Your phone may be "unlocked" in relation to allowing any SIM from any provider, but that is 100% unrelated to unlocking the bootloader.

The Telstra 3.17 is unlikely to make any difference to the Hong Kong based 3.17. They are almost identical except for the few Telstra apps included.

Have you checked that your APN is set to telstra.wap so that LTE will function? The Hong Kong phones ship with incorrect settings for Telstra.

You could refer to this link for help, but ignore it's advise to set telstra.internet as that is incorrect(it is only for 4g modems, not phones) and will prevent some Telstra apps from working correctly:

https://support.mobicity.com.au/ent...up-the-htc-one-xl-on-telstra-s-4g-lte-network

Also you should check Telstras coverage as LTE is only available in limited areas.

http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/coverage-networks/our-coverage/mobile-broadband/

Beyond these suggestions you should take up your speed issues with Telstra.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I already answered this in post #2 above. Don't know why you are asking the same question again.

Twisteddx beat me to answering your other questions, and I agree with all he said.

You're confusing unlocking the SIM versus unlocking the bootloader. SIM unlocked just means you can use SIMs for any carrier. Bootloader unlock removed write protection for certain partitions of the memory, allowing you to install custom recovery, custom ROMs, etc. SIM unlock and BL unlock are not related in any way.

I'm not a huge fan of simple tutorials. They invite you to try mods with a minimum of knowledge, which is really the opposite of what you should do. Read up, and learn as much as you can, as twisted mentioned, you will be performing things that can cause permanent damage to the phone if not done completely properly. You need to have a deep understanding of what you are doing before you start. Even if you follow the steps to the letter, things all-to-often go awry. And being armed with as much knowledge as possible is the best way to prepare for such events.

The amount of information can be daunting, for sure. But once you become more familiar with the terms and basic concepts, you will probably see its actually not that complicated. Maybe start with some of the "Misc Guides" at the bottom of the 1st post of my Index thread, such as the Terminology glossary. Look at other posts by similar users in Q&A, and go from there.

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Is anything possibly stuck at the bottom of the card slot,which is preventing it from clicking down fully?

:)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Does the card physically seem to go in all the way? If not, Malybru probabyl has the answer.

If it does go in all the way and doesn't click, then you might be screwed as the little plastic peice that catches the tab on the card may be broken. If so, I don't know how you've begin to try and fix that yourself. HTC wuld probably just replace the whole board since that SD card housing unit is connected directly to it.

If you can get it in all the way, can you hold it in place and have the phone read it? Or does that not even work?
[HTC Sensation] anthonyly:
i am almost so sure there is nothing.... maybe rice because i dropped it in a puddle
[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
Try to put the sd card in place and hold it there and try or put some tape on it so it gets on the place. In other hand I think you can buy that piece on eBay and try to replace it yourself. Think the piece includes the SIM card slot too.
[HTC Sensation] Lamadjuret:
Looks like I have the same problem in the same type of phone, and I can't get it out even despite digging around in there with a needle. Has anyone sorted this kind of thing out, or even disassembled the whole SD card slot to clear it up?

I suppose that even after taking the metallic "cover bit" of I would be able to use the SD card, if I use tape or something else to push it towards the metallic "reading bits" on the bottom?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] magicwise:
tape will not last

You can buy a mainboard on ebay and simply replace the whole thing. It's not too hard if you are a bit patient and careful.

There are good instructions on youtube and other websites that show you all the steps in detail. Use google.

As an alternative you can buy a working Sensation with broken glass for very little money and get a cheap motherboard that way. That was how I did it.

Of course you'll have to unlock and root the phone again afterwards.
