[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ultimatetechworm:
so i have a few questions

,first off im not a noobie on the flashing, rooting,unlocking etc , my friend flashed the wrong rom to this phone it appears to have suffered from a hard brick just due to its unresponsiveness. I was wondering if the bootloader files or some sort of files have to be on an sdcard and be placed inside of the phone for a jig to properly work. i ask this because if the phones bootloader is corrupted how is it going to boot any other way. Im trying to avoid this jtagging thing. Any ideas would be helpful or references would also be appreciated.

yes i have a jig, yes ive tried the recovery button, yes i have odin, i also have a external battery charger, etc etc :fingers-crossed:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyx7:
Hey all, requesting some assistance...

I had used the nexus 7 toolkit to unlock the bootloader and root my tablet.

Earlier this afternoon, I decided to cave and flash cm10 on my tablet. Before doing so, instructions stated to wipe. In my ignorance, I wiped one too many things and also wiped the internal memory.

As a result, I am unable to get my tablet to fastboot and when I searched for the .zip to flash, I was presented with an ominously empty file directory to my sdcard's root. I have tried various things with the nexus 7 toolkit and have been unsuccessful in my endeavors, as many of those functions require the tablet to be in fastboot mode before any of them will work.

The device is stuck on the Google screen, and if I push the volume buttons with the power button, it will flicker and eventually return to this screen.

I do have a nandroid backup stored on my machine, but I am unable to use it as I am unable to even boot to the recovery (because I can't get to fastboot)... Any suggestions? I really hope I didn't brick this...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I believe you can get to fastboot mode with the v4.13 bootloader from any other mode so long as the battery is not dead and the screen is working.

When the battery has a good charge, hold the power button down until the google logo appears (could be up to 15-18 seconds). At that very moment that the black-and-white google logo image appears, press the Vol-down button.

Voila. Fastboot.

You do need to see that screen appear though; maybe that's the rub. Note that the timing is important - you only get one second or two to do this immediately after the image first appears.

As a bonus, glance at the bottom of that image. Shows an unlocked padlock for an unlocked bootloader, nothing if locked.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyx7:
It worked! Thanks a bunch!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
No worries. Glad it worked. Actually, I only stumbled across a reference to that button sequence a couple days ago.

If you see someone else reporting that they "can't get to fastboot", let them know - you can get there from ANY MODE.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] holm94:
Hi,

I wonder if there is any way to bypass the lockscreen when it has a numeric security. It is not a pattern and it wont let me log in with google to unlock it. Im Jellytime (JB) R28. Just to be clear, I dont want to factoryreset since i have alot of data i dont want to lose.

This is what i´ve tried already:

-upgrade to a newer version in hope to get the screenlock to disappear. Didn´t work.

-downgrade to a older version - ll - . Didn´t work.

-install widget locker via recovery in hope to get the menu to chose which lockscreen i want to use. Apparently I have open widget locker to choose it, which I´m not able to cus' i cant unlock the phone.

-restore an older backup i have and then advance restore data from the backup of the current version. Unfortunately the code-lock came with the restore.

If it is possible to create a rom-upgrade that dont support code security lockscreen and then i install the upgrade, maybe the code-lock will disappear then.

Anyone have any ideas?

sorry for bad english...

My Galaxy S3 Battery Life Sucks Please Help! 15% After Only 7 Hours.

I’ve been having this same problem sense I got my phone about 2 months ago but now I’m finally just tired of it! My phone is rooted, using the stock ROM.

What I do to help battery life:

-	Every morning I hold the home button and kill multitasking and kill all running aps in the background then I open autokill which automatically kills running apps in the background that are not needed.

-	I have power saving enabled

-	Easy Battery Saver running

After 7 hours of use I’m already at 15% and through out the day I barley use my phone. Its like this just about everyday. I use my phone about an hour of the entire day of web surfing and Facebook usage etc. The rest of the day I’m only texting and maybe taking 3 or 4 phone calls that last 10 mins. How much battery could that possibly take? A flip phone can do that and last 3 days..

I used my iPhone 4S much more during the day then I do the galaxy S3 because the S3 has terrible battery life.

On my iPhone I would have about 22% after everyday of using it for 11 hours down time = sleep and 4 hours of usage = texting, , phone calls, web surfing, games etc.

I don’t play games or watch movies on my S3. Only texting, instagram, facebook, websurfing which is about an hour a day usage. Also a couple minutes of GPS usage on some days.

What can I do to fix this? I don’t want a bigger battery that will make my phone any thicker.

I have pictures below showing usage through out the day and usage under battery.

Please help!

Thanks!

You screen is using most of your battery. Check the brightness levels. Are they on max or close to it? Switch it to auto

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zak9494:
My brightness is always set to lowest possible expect while walking from to and from class. Ill post a little more pics maybe these can help figure out the problem problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
Oh thats easy.

You're phone is always "Awake". It doesn't go into Deep sleep like everyone elses. If you take a look at the first picture you linked with the graph, it shows that the phone is always AWAKE.

For comparison, I have attached mine as a reference but something is DEFINITELY keeping your phone awake.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zak9494:
From pics ive posted can you tell which apps are not letting it go into deep sleep?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
Can't really see anything that stands out per say...

If you see anything on that thread or any apps on your phone that you think could be keeping it awake, just uninstall them. I would suggest trying to remove them a few at a time just to narrow down which ones are keeping the phone awake.

Also, apparently this app helps a lot (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy) and Better Battery stats should give you a better idea of which apps use the CPU while your phone is trying to sleep.

Oh and remove any task managers you have installed.. Those tend to be the worst offenders.

One last thing, found this on another forum:

- Don't use an automatic task killer--not even the one that comes with the phone. Reboot your phone and look at what's running. If anything that you've installed is running and there's no reason for it, then uninstall it and find an alternative that behaves. Ignore any stock apps that run on boot as I've found them to be more or less benign.

- Weather widgets, live wallpapers, news/social feeds, any app or service that you use that runs--do without it if you can. If you can’t do without it, lengthen it’s refresh time.

- Don't use antivirus

- Set your WIFI sleep policy to never. The default is "turn off when screen turns off". This will cause the wifi to reconnect every time you open the phone. From any Home Screen select Menu/Settings/Wireless & Networks/ and then use the Menu button to see some new options - select Advanced. Then select Wifi Sleep Policy and set it to Never. Home key to return to Home Screen.

- If you have access to wifi, leave it toggled on as it is more efficient than 3G. Wifi consumes less battery power than 3G.

- I leave GPS toggled on too by the way. Apps use it as needed. When I'm done with Maps or an app that uses it, I'm sure to return to the home screen so GPS can stop. Under wireless settings turn on "Google location services" so that an app is able to use network resources to get your location instead of GPS. I have "VZW location services" turned off--don't know why that option is even there. By the way, I increase the speed of voice output > text to speech > speech rate because I like the directions to get spit out faster. That saves a bit of battery. Turning off the display and just listening for directions help. Also, often I just get the directions and then exit back to the home screen: GPS uses so much battery I try to get it over with ASAP.

- Under Accounts, click on any account listed and turn off sync for any items that you're not interested in syncing. For example, Google Books if you don't use it. Don't use Backup Assistant--I prefer syncing my contacts with Google. You don't need both. Also go into your contacts > menu > display options > backup assistant > UNCHECK. Also do contacts > menu > more > settings > contact storage > and select your Google account and "remember this choice"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risktaker:
Are you on the 3G network a lot or weak signal areas? Is your phone hot around the bottom? If yes to both, most likely it's because of the system attempting to find a better signal. When I was swapping out my SIMs, in various countries, I only have 3G network and my battery fully drains in 7hrs at idle. The only way i can go a whole day is to place my phone into airplane mode or wifi only to conserve the battery.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrishter:
If you want, you could try to flash a custom ROM. I had the same problem that you have, and I flashed Revolutionary S5, and now my phone lasts minimum two days with the same usage, maybe a bit more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattwarr:
Too bad Tony Stark hasn't gotten involved

Titanium Backup will assist a little bit. When you do a backup of an apk it will tell you if the application is running. You can find all kinds of sneaky apps this way. Many of them were ones I didn't use and didn't really want. That will probably yield minimal results, though. Keeping a black background helps on my S3. Colors, widgets, and live backgrounds will drain the battery. Turn off the menu and back key lights. You know the buttons are there. Turn off all haptic feedback and key press sounds. Of course, try to lower the screen brightness. Leaving my data and sync on hasn't caused me any problems, but you will save some battery by turning them off when not in use. I also read a post about hidden menu options that ran even when they weren't meant to. That was an issue that destroyed battery life. Some ROMs also have settings for data connection type. You'll save power by telling your phone to not worry about gaining signals like 4g, 3g, etc. As other people have said, try out some ROMs that make battery life a big priority.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2014rokas:
it CAN get better

if you want to have a good battery life, use custom rom and kernel (or a modified stock like omega rom), watch out for wakelocks + apply these settings:

My phone was knocked off of my coffee table by the family poodle this morning... Really, the phone looks alright, only the bezel cracked (on the outside that is), however, 75% of my screen is now completely useless and won't respond to any touch... On the bright side, Square Trade is actually sending me a brand new one, but, for the next few days i'll be without a phone and that won't really work for me... So, is there any way to get my text forwarded to my tablet without setting anything up on my phone itself? Because it's impossible for me to get in and set any apps up. Or, do you guys know of any retail stores that sell micro sim to standard sim adapters so i can use one of my old phones?

Hi,

I have this tablet, got it brand new a year ago maby - I cant remember exactly. It has always worked perfectly and I have never had a problem with it. It has never been rooted etc, still running official firmware through built-in updater and only has few apps installed from the play store.

Anyway the battery is currently on 26% so thought I'd give it a charge before I use it tonight except its not taking a charge, I'm using the original cable and wall plug which the tablet came with & I have tried it in a different wall socket. I then tried connecting it to my laptop to see if its the plug and the tablet recognizes its been connected as the Asus Sync PC information icon comes up - it just wont charge and I dont know why.

Has anyone experienced this? and can anyone help me with a solution please? It just happend out of the blue and I last charged it a couple of nights ago with no problems. Also i just have the tablet as I didnt buy the keyboard addon for it at the time just so you have all the information.

Thanks

Hi,

I seem to have fixed it, I simply took the two parts of the plug apart and put them back together again, now its charging fine. It seems it needs 15v to charge the battery which I guess is why it doesn't charge via a usb port on a computer.
