[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josef1975:
Hi, I have a samsung focus flash (omnia w) updated to wp 7.5 tango ( 7.10.8773.98); also the firmware has been updated to the latest version (2424.12.02.2). I also have the interop unlock, with wp7 root tools and relock prevent also installed.

now I'd like to upgrade to wp7.8, of course without loosing the interop unlock. I'm afraid I can't use zune, so If I use seven-eighter with phone in airplane mode plus prevent relock enabled on root tools (or relock prevent) will it work? any extra precautions to take?

I also read about hosts file modification to block access to microsoft server, will it useful?

thanks in advance

ok, work done, phone updated to wp7.8 and interop-unlock still working :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geordie Lad:
Had my S3 8 months and after some tests my battery's already down to around 1600mah so anyone know if it's possible to get myself a new battery under the warranty in UK at CPW?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Nice one. Cover yourself in asbestos mate......
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geordie Lad:
Are you somehow implying that was a dumb question? Because I know there's no reason Samsung has to replace it, But Apple would...

And the battery's useless to me now and had to replace with an Anker 2200mah and just want a non insulting answer how far I can push my luck with Samsung's warranty.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Check the warranty information batteries are covered but it could only be a 6 month warranty on them, it is shorter than the phones warranty.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
batteries naturally lose capacity over time. most manufacturer suggest you get new ones once a year.. so at 8 months, you're pretty close to the recommend date already so I high doubt it especially considering it's a removable one
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geordie Lad:
Dammit you right...

It is only 6 months warranty on batteries, I just assumed it was 12 months because you always hear that you should replace rechargeable batteries every 12 months, But still 8 months, less than 300 charges and rarely charging at below 20% shouldn't be enough to cause a 25% capacity loss and shows it has weak cells.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
How have you been charging it?

Almost exclusively used USB here, 600-900mA charge. Been 6 months, one charge per day, no noticeable drop in Battery Monitor Pro stats..

Dodgy wall charger? Noticed a few posts saying it might be. Recommend BMP simply for the voltage out of range alarm feature. Went off once using the wall charger in the car via a power converter (don't have a car charger).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
ecause you always hear that you should replace rechargeable batteries every 12 months,

That is yet more web nonsense .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geordie Lad:
Been hearing that long before the Internet was created and makes sense because lithium cells do usually hold full charge about that long used daily, And anyway I just checked the warranty on my Anker 2200mah & 4400mah batteries and they got an 18 month warranty so shows phone manufacturers are just being greedy so they make more money on accessories giving a short warranty.

Using the charger and cable it came with and Been using the battery monitor Widget App a few months and everything looks fine on the power history graph.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lookwhoshere:
Hi there,

This is a bit dated but I have a HTC Hero which am trying to return back to Orange,

I had loaded a villanrom custom ROM and have tried the steps given here to unlock and revert to stock rom

theunlockr.com/2009/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-hero

After trying the steps I get a signature error? I am using the Original Orange ROM listed in the instructions but it doesnt seem to work,

Any idea of how to revert to stock?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Derkz:
You could try the RUU Update, it will take you back to stock 2.1 update1 and unroot

Direct link to RUU: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Her...io_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.11_release_signed.exe

You could also try the goldcard method if you still get signature errors which I had to do to update my Hero from 1.5 to 2.1, You need an SD Card for this to work because it requires a format

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thotwielder:
Hi, I downloaded a big iso file (say file x) on my nexus 4. weird thing is I can't see the file from my pc when I connect my phone to my pc. I can see the folders on my phone but can't see the folder (say folder f1) that contains the file..

Even more weird thing is when I moved some file in the f1 to a folder (say f2) using Astro file manager that can be seen from my pc. I can see the file in f2 on my phone, but it's not on my pc.

Then I renamed a file (file y) in f2 in Astro. Both fy and f2 can be seen on my pc. But on my pc I can't see the name of y changed.

In short what kind of changes I made to my files on my phone, nothing happens on my pc. I have unplugged the cable and repluggd it but the situation is still the same.

Also, I can create folder/file from pc and they can be seen from my phone.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thotwielder:
All right, it's suddenly just fine. No idea why.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
Was going to say it could be due to the horrible MTP that Android now uses instead of Mass Storage.

MTP Limits large files from being transferred to and from the device.

(and only shows some folders, usually the basic Music, Downloads, Pictures, etc - and folders that were created on the device via the computer)

But since it just showed up, I have no clue...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I have no problems with MTP, all my folders and files show up on my pc. Can also transfer large video files without a problem. The size limitation by the way is 4GB.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddoggin:
Sometimes you may have to reboot the phone to be able to see the files. Works for me. After download some files I can't see them immediately, have to reboot phone then plug in and files will be there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
I've had trouble with MTP, unable to write certain files... So I have to Zip them, copy them over, then unzip them from within Android. And I made some Backups of my Apex Settings and such, before uninstalling the app, when I plugged the N4 into my computer the location where Apex saved the file did not show.. Once I finally just saved them to my Google Drive from the phone, I was unable to copy them back over to the N4 (hence the reason for needing to ZIP them) - Also I recreated the Apex settings folder myself via Windows Explorer in the Android Folder of the n4 but Apex was unable to find it. When I clicked Backup within Apex, it normally will inform you of an overwrite if backup files already exist, but this did not happen.

I have the basic folders appear in Windows Explorer (Alarms, Android, DCIM, Downloads, Movies, Music, Notifications, Pictures, Podcast, and Ringtones) ... The Android Folder (where Apex saves its backups) would only display a few select folders (those related to media) so the Apex Backup folder is not visible in Windows Explorer...

Anyhow, I'm certainly not a fan of MTP... but will read the article you posted and maybe it will help/change my view
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
I found a GS3 on craigslist for $175 and was thinking about snatching it. The phone was originally AT&T but it is factory unlocked. Will this work just fine on Verizon and will I still be able to get the same 4G LTE?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
No, the hardware isn't there for that as far as data goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
So basically no other carriers GS3 would be suitable for Verizon other than a Verizon GS3? Or is there another carriers GS3 that is suitable for Verizon's 4G LTE?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
The phone should work if it is unlocked, however, data will be slow. Also, not sure how the new law affects it.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
AT&T runs on the gsm network. Verizon runs a CDMA network. Gotta have radios that can talk to the network....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
The new law doesn't affect any phones that are factory unlocked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tacotino:
So yesterday I traded my note for the optimus g. MOD EDIT profanity removedThis phone had so much promise but just fall short on every turn. Some things I was looking forward too.

Better screen

Better processor

Cooler look

Smaller

And I wanted to try something new. I've had Samsung for 3 years now. And I haven't tried anything else.

Where I was wrong:

Screen sucks! Yeah it has more ppi.. but the screen on all videos has this grainy look to it. I understand that the superamoled is high contrast, but it wasn't the colors it was the video itself.

Screen= fail

plus this screen is now to small... I can't believe how perfect 5+ inches. Is.

Processor = alright

It might just be LG software but this phone isn't as quick as I thought I should be. I mean come on this s4 pro kid such a badass... not really I have to give it to Samsung for making everything in house.. I feel like they are the gods for now on mobile devices

All in all the phone isn't want the note is.. plus I hate seeing 53% battery in only 4 hours of using my device instead of 14 or 16. Well sorry just wanted to make sure no one ever leaves this place... until the next big thing comes out. But honestly this phone is the best hands down. .

Dont do the one x+!!! I originally switched from note 2 to the one x+a couple months ago. I returned it in like 5 days. It was so laggy I couldn't believe it. I loved the build quality of it but battery and performance was awful. Only phone I have used with better performance than the note 2 is the iphone 5. Back on note 2 now and living it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] {C0deF0x}:
Switch

Ive been on iPhone my whole life till now. Ive always had to jailbreak to get all of the features I wanted and with android even with out root it is much more customizable. Plus the iPhone 5 is a piece of garbage do not ever consider switching from this big beautiful powerful phone that we all love.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmb993:
I've played with both the HOX+ as well as the LG Optimus G. Honestly after having this phone and playing with those others I don't see how you guys were even curious lol. The S4 Pro is a good chip but its not nearly as oower efficient as our Exynos, and while touchwiz isn't the most attractive overlay, it's easily the least resource intensive and most feature filled. I consider myself to be pretty heavy into the mobile scene and I have yet to find an all around better device than the Note 2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hmmwhatsthisdo:
I believe they'd be able to look up the IMEI with Samsung and realize that it was a GSII HD LTE. (I know third party sites like Swappa can check a model by IMEI, I'm sure AT&T can do the same.) Also, If AT&T has separate APNs for smartphones (I think they do?) then they'd likely be able to tell that way as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p2kmafia:
Hello everyone, glad to be a part of this community now. I came over from the droid charge and I've gotten pretty used to only having one option for ROMs and Kernels and I opened the Verizon GNex development section and practically crapped my pants.

I bought my gnex already running CM 10.1-20130204-NIGHTLY-toro and I'm fine with that but I'm looking for guidance on some good kernels. I saw a couple but they were both on the second page of the dev section which coming from the charge was never a good sign.

Basically, I'm looking for what rom/kernel combo's you guys are running as well as mods that I should look into as I get acquainted with this phone.

Already love it infinitely more than my charge haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p2kmafia:
Wow, thank you so much. That post is exactly what I wanted to get me into this phone, you're awesome. I've never been able to use special tweaking apps or anything so I'm in for loads of fun. Thanks again! More posts are welcome but I've been put in the right direction so no worries.

Ditto to a fellow crackflasher. I'm also using XENON HD Stable 4.0 but using Franco kernel r364. Thank you very much for the wealth of info; I'm a performance guru by trade. I'll try out the fancy kernel.

BTW, I seem to get the best TCP performance using cubic.

Perhaps we can discuss further your performance harness. I'm struggling to figure out how to establish a reliable benchmark environment to measure the results of the various perf settings.

Hi, I am new here and i need help. what should i do if my carrier dont give me update like 4.2.1. im from philippines and what should i do to have an OTA UPDATE?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reysonance:
I don't think 4.2 rollout for regional variants of the GN have started yet, you might wanna check the device version under Maps>Settings>About, if it's anything other than takju/yakju (like yakjuux, yakjuwx, etc.) then as of now there's no OTA available, if you really wan't 4.2.1 you'll have to flash to takju/yakju manually, the guide is in the sticky.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Moin moin! Nice to find another performance guru. I've also been having hard time finding a reliable way to check benchmark-style performance for CORE and MPU, and especially when testing IVA?? -- I've just been running video stuff and music to find this UV but not sure about stress testing. I do use quadrant for overall stability/CORE stability as well as stabilitytest and of course PC-ported superPI!! (only goes to 512k pi calculation lol, oh well). Since wifi/cdma-lte-radio can change battery results so much depending on what gapps and network-based apps feel like doing, I've started to generate multiple results by first minimizing my testing environment: using airplane mode, killing gapps bloat and anything else that doesn't cause reboot, then I'll do just radio data connection like 3g and maybe sync to keep it real, and after that I'll test with all the functionality enabled. Benching with WIFI on has caused so much variation in battery testing results though... I'm almost ready to throw it out of the equation when evaluating kernels. Most kernels of the same age have the same wifi drivers anyway. If there's anything on the kernel's feature list or update log, I'll take notice and compare with other kernels across the board... That's the gist how I look at performance.

I've come to android scene after PC overclocking for over 10 years now which is really so much simpler(watching the monthly energy bill is way easier than a battery), refined, simple... just push the OC minimizing heat until you hit the wall or need LN2... start with cpu, then memory, then graphics with your 2000W OCZ PSU and tricked-out DFI,ASUS,MSI board that has 200lb of custom water cooling and industrial heatsinks all inside a sleak streamlined antec P-series case with world-class sound dampening (so muffled you can just hear it "breathing" when the video card fans rev up and down 'playing' 3dmark); then prime95 or intelcpuburn the s*** out of it, and finally fine tweak memory timings and motherboard regulator voltages to max your 3dmark, pcmark, and superpi scores. BAM, done. Haven't even booted into BIOS on my 4ghz-on-air i7 rig in 3 YEARS now after initial OC/tweaking, run at max OC 24/7 to be super chic, natuerlich... "power savings??" - what the s*** is that? Not part of my PC vocabulary.
