You should be looking for apps sucking battery.. Use better battery stats. I'm on the same rom and it's ok for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mr_magoo:
Sound like your sim card socket is loose. Mine did this. I powered it down, removed the battery and sim card. Then I just pushed down the metal clip that hold the sim card in so it was more snug. Replace everything and power back up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] davolesh:
similar problem

I'm also on Straight Talk and mine did a similar thing a few days ago. It just would not recognize my SIM. I just let it sit for a bit, took it out, made sure the SIM adapter was alright, did a reboot and rest the APNs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corz123:
Hey guys...my phone broke and somehow Verizon sent me a PB Galaxy S3 somehow for my replacement device....they didn't tell me they were sending it and my phone still shows on my account as the Galaxy Nexus. Does anyone know if I can keep this phone or will I get some kind of call from VZ about this? If I can keep it, what's the best and cheapest way to get a battery and back cover for it? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtseidner:
I believe since the Galaxy Nexus has reached its end of life, Verizon is now replacing the Nexus with GS3's. It's odd they didnt include the back and battery, however. I would call them and they should provide this for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpyazel:
Call them. They have mistakenly sent me replacement phones twice without the covers and batteries. They are free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corz123:
Gave VZ a call and got it taken care of. Thanks guys! :) That also means my new home is the GS3 forum. Farewall :P!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schaffee:
What did you do to get the replacement. My phone is on its last limbs. I have a third party warranty..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Nice!!! That's a great device. Enjoy it. What a great way to get a gs3 with out paying full price or a new contract. Congrats.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corz123:
I didn't do anything. My phone died somehow after being on the charger. I didn't ask for an alternate (which I have done in the past but not in this case) and boom 2 days later...GS3 shows up much to my surprise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corz123:
By the way. Does anyone know what I can do with the spare batteries? I got like a whole stack of unused ones that somehow were sent to me....like 2 normal ones...2 extended one..and 2 back covers....

[HTC Desire S] machiavelli-bg:
HI. Today I updated my non-rooted HTC Desire S to ICS 4.0.4 (3.0.16-gce03037 Kernel) from official site... Everything is working fine, but I have problem using the WIFI connection.

I can enable/disable WiFi, I have no problems with OS freezing when I switch on or off wireless, etc. I configured it properly (I did not restore any settings from my backup software) and manually, and in status bar I can see that network is connected. It seems that everything is working fine but:

1. I cannot access the Internet from the phone

2. My access point does not list my HTC as connected device at all

I am desperate because this is the only thing that is not working after upgrade, and I use WiFi a lot :(

Thank you all for helping regarding this.
[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
R: WIFI problem after ICS upgrade

I don't know if it is the same issue i was experiencing some time ago, but seems that older Wi-Fi router have some problems with ics roms and later versions (jelly bean). I have resolved by changing my router but you could try specificy a static ip address for your phone and see if it works.
[HTC Desire S] machiavelli-bg:
I already have a static IP defined. Also my WiFi is protected with AES. Is there any way to keep ICS on HTC and to degrade only driver for the WiFi?
[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
No, I don't think so, but maybe the AES encryption could be the problem. Try swiching to WPA or WPA2 and see if it works.
[HTC Desire S] machiavelli-bg:
I tried with different encryption methods, even with no encryption at all, and problem remains. Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
Well, no. You could still try to root your phone, install a Jelly Bean based Rom and specify a static IP. JB is slightly better with WiFi than ICS so I think this is your last call.

Otherwise you can still use the pass-through internet option is "Stock option" of the Rom settings, but this means that the phone must be plugged in the PC.
[HTC Desire S] machiavelli-bg:
Is there any 3rd party software which can manage WiFi chip? Something like option in MS Windows, where you can choose Windows to manage wireless or vendor application. Maybe it is not a firmware problem, maybe it is something with ICS subsystem/application which handles WiFi...
[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
Not from my knowledge. You can try downloading wifix from the market, for some users has worked, but not for me.
[HTC Desire S] machiavelli-bg:
OK, now things are getting very weird!

First of all, I tried with "wifix" and bunch of other market "wifi fix apps", but with no success. After that I connected to my WiFi and try to ping my laptop which resides on the same AP and.... with SUCCESS! I looked at my AP statistics and I cannot still observe that my HTC is connected to the AP, but I could ping the laptop and default gateway (which is AP of course). I tried to do SSH to the HTC and that was successful too. It seems that my WIFI is working only locally, because when I try to ping public IP I get the destination unreachable error message. On the ifconfig's interface statistics I can see Rx and Tx counters increases on the wlan0 interface, but on the AP I still cannot see that my HTC is connected.

I looked up in to the routing table, and there was everything as should be. I am sure that there is no IP address conflict inside my network, I am sure that my HTC is authenticated and connected on the right wireless channel.

Guys, this issue is very weird, can somebody give some hint about it?

Please, see attachments there is much more info regarding this.
[HTC Desire S] machiavelli-bg:
equally eelsec

Ok, here is the update in attachment, it seems that I have problem on the layer 3 of the OSI model. I think that I can summarize the following:

1. Radio is working

2. All MAC layer things are also fine

3. Encryption is ok

4. IP packets transportation between the HTC and router is not working.

I am not good with linux, and my phone is not rooted.What can I do to troubleshoot this part of the networking now?
[HTC Desire S] machiavelli-bg:
Hello to all again.

Believe or not I still have the same problem. HTC support is USELESS... I tried with factory reset, and I still got a problem. I am loosing patience now... Can somebody tell me how to revert back to previous OS, please? Where to download, and how to install it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelorona:
Has someone experienced that the Atrix gets really hot while the wifi is on?

I know some kind of warm is normal during the use, but when i hit the wifi it get really hot and i'm not even browsing or using intensive apps. One time it turned off because it was extremely hot, i guess it was some kind of mechanism to prevent damage
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehjr:
Ive had mine for almost a year and a half and never had it get hot using wifi. GPS on the other hand will make the device get hot to the touch through an Otterbox cover.

Are you running a ROM based on the leak or the kernel from the leak?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tractable:
Just purchased Note-2 last week and was upset to know this.

MP3 music volume is low compared to galaxy S-2(my previous mobile) even with different headphones.

I am surprised to know, note-2 is expensive but how come inferior with music.

Annoying thing is if I go to custom equalizer and increase 14k or any slider, the effect is there but volume decrease further. The higher I move slider, the further music volume decrease.

What is this? Help is appreciated, any way to boost its volume. (without rooting)

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Definetly volume is much higher than S2. it is in par with S1. maybe your loud speaker is faulty.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tractable:
I am concerned mainly with headphone volume, that is low.

Pl. share if music sound decreases in your Note-2 when you move equalizer sliders up?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
sorry. i never use it with headphones. i mainly leave it at my desk in work and hear some music.

maybe someone else can comment on headphone sound.:good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdasunny:
Get Noozxoide Eizo app from Play Store. Should help boost the volume.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chickentm:
Guys I need your help. Since some days, all time when my phone starts it is stuck. Frist the Samsung Galxy S II thing, then this purple samsung circle with blinking samsung after that, then screen off (maybe 1-2 seconds) and then again this Samsung Galaxy S II thing. It there it stucks.

I always flashed a new rom, but after some hours same there.

Edit: After replace sim card and battery it stucks at Samsung Galaxy S II screen, without Blinking Samsung
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Reboot into recovery and re-flash rom and/or wipe data/factory reset.

Also, its customary when asking for help to give relevant information like what rom/kernel you're currently on or trying to flash etc etc. Basically just give people more info then simply "hey phone isnt working".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chickentm:
It was on Wanam something and the Kernel which have been installed with it. And I already did that like 100 times. And everytime after some time it happend again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
I got a similar problem to this on Wanam 14.0 just a few days ago after I flashed the new phil Kernel, essentially just an infinite bootloop which isn't fixed by just turning the phone on/off. As previously said, I fixed it by just wiping data and flashing Wanam again (and hey, I didn't spam the forum with a stupid thread about an issue solved by using my squishy brain box thing for like 30 seconds).

Boo hoo if you lose all your XXX free porn apps, its better than not having a phone.
[HD Mini General] thethiny:
So I've seen many posts about porting android from other devices to this mobile , and 2 of them use SD-card boot using haret and some other files.

My question is , how do they create their own boot from SD ROM? I know this is the wrong section but I'm desperate , I'm trying to keep my winmo and have ICS at the same time , any help appreciated.
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
I'm Sorry, I don't know how to create or doing that. :(

I'm busy to make changes in NAND ROM bugs, WinMo has became useless and out dated from Microsoft totally.

please make sure that you post in general Q.
[HD Mini General] thethiny:
thanks for the reply ,

so I found the system.ext2 from the CM7.2 and replaced the files inside with the files from your ROM 9.1 , (I copied the files from the folder system).

My question is , does any initrd.gz and any zKernel work? Or everyone is different? (this is basic android and not basic SD , so please help!)

thanks
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
zImage is the kernel, so you can't do cm7 kernel with cm9 kernel.
[HD Mini General] thethiny:
so is there anyway to convert your CM9's Kernel to a zImage? Or where can I find it?Because I'm trying to keep my WinMo and make my own Boot From SD CM9.

thanks

EDIT: How about extracting the zImage from your boot.img and then using it ....I believe it should work , or I must use some more editing?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] plemen:
What would these antenna's be for? To increase cell signal? GPS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoso28:
The R connectors are for testing & other diagnostics on the radios.. R1 might be 3G, R2 for LTE or something like that. G1 would be GPS & W1 would be Wi-Fi. I wouldn't mess with them though unless someone with actual experience chimes in.. I remember reading in some forum about a guy who tried connecting an external antenna.. It gave him a great signal, but after unplugging it he never got a signal back. True story :eek:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogermorse:
Hello there. I finally got me this wonderful tablet...I wanted something small, well built, and possibly with tegra 3, mainly for the gaming exclusives that Tegra means.

I didn't buy the tablet for gaming of course, but it is something I like in general. The first thing I tried has been Epic Citadel. The benchmark gave me solid 55fps average in high quality.

Then I tried a game that didn't really run well on my Galaxy Note 1: NOVA3 from gameloft.

I know Gameloft games are not really well programmed, at least not as solid as EA products (dead space, ME infiltrator and NFS most wanted to say a few)....I played most of them on my old Desire HD, and then on the galaxy note. Some of them would not run well on the Note. I am someone that feels a big difference between 30fps and 60fps...that's why I play on PC. I don't need 60 fps on a mobile game of course, the main point of my thread is:

how can a game like NOVA 3 stutter that way on the nexus 7? From a quad core tegra 3 processor I was expecting something much different....it runs the same way it runs on the galaxy note, PLUS it has no depth of field. I watched the introduction, on the galaxy note the soldier was totally sharp, and the background was out of focus. On the nexus 7 somehow this feature is disabled (of course no way to change it in the options).

Anyway, this is not what I was expecting from such a powerful device. I know game could have been programmed better (not even sure if it uses all the 4 cores).....but what is your opinion?

I don't need to play NOVA3 this bad...it is just a curiosity, something that I would rather have explained to me. I am also quite sure the same game would run flawless on an iphone....never seen it though, i just suppose.

I am also aware of that kind of 'lag fix', which is anyway not recommended. I am on stock rom with root permission.

YOU CAN'T

optimization is bad,veeeery bad ;(

Before you proceed your nexus or android tablet must be rooted for the proccess to succeed

The first thing you should do is install this version of Bluestacks:

http://cdn.bluestacks.com/downloads/0.7.2.751/BlueStacks_HD_AppPlayerPro_setup_0.7.2.751_REL.msi

And then root it using this Guide :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935192

After you root Bluestacks Install the following apks on it

TitaniumBackup: http://matrixrewriter.com/android/files/TitaniumBackup_latest.apk

DropBox: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6993309/Dropbox.apk

Whatsapp : http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk

Right click on the whatsapp file and select install with bluestacks installer,after it finishes installation,open it , enter your number and proceed , wait for the 5 mintues of checking to finish(you will have supposedly recieved the 6 digit code on your phone already) enter the code and intialize it .

after that install Titanium Backup with the same method you installed whatsapp ,(you should already be rooted), go to app selection , select whatsapp and back it up

then install dropbox , create an acount(if you dont already have one) upload the whatsapp files(they are in the titanium backup folder in the root of the sdcard).

After that install dropbox and titanium backup on your android tablet , sign in dropbox with your acount, export the whatsapp files in a titanium backup folder on the root of the sdcard .

Then open Titanium Backup , select the app list , select whatsapp , then select restore app+data(then after that restore data only bec. sometimes it doesnt)

Done.

You have successfully installed Whatsapp WITHOUT A ROOTED ANDROID PHONE

Re: (Solved)Successfully install whatsapp on an android WIFI tablet without a phone !

Yet another how to install whatsapp thread

Technically its not without a phone though if you said you will receive the 6 digit code to your phone. ;)

Without a rooted android phone you mean?

Seriously though, if it works for those people then great. Is this method different from the other ones posted which used bluestacks?

I don't get the bit about the titanium backup 'files'. When I back an app up with titanium backup, it makes 1 file only with a .tiBkp extension.

As for the backup question and yes this is a completely different method

Yes this is a completely different method from the first bluestacks method

and i get 3 files when i backup from either the nexus 7 or bluestacks using titanium backup , maybe the phone version backs up only 1 file ! , i was gonna upload a photo to show you ,but the service is down for some reason :S
[Android General] knuckles1978:
Re: (Solved)Successfully install whatsapp on an android WIFI tablet without a phone !

Found it, look at this, using my N7.

Re: (Solved)Successfully install whatsapp on an android WIFI tablet without a phone !

Why so hectic method? Get whatsapp from play store or somewhere else and install it on your tablet, enter a number that you are using on your phone then you got to wait 12 mins for the verification, sms verification will fail then you will receive a phone call by whatsapp on your mobile device whose number you have entered which is a computer voice saying the 6 digits, hear it and enter it, your whatsapp will be activated..
