[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlaZe Always On Top:
Issue: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

Phone information: Samsung Galaxy SII

Able to access ODIN: Yes.

Product Name: GT-i9100

Custom Binary Download: Yes (6 counts)

Current Binary: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

The problem: My CPU was running to high so I wanted to remove the root. When i looked it up and followed a tutorial on youtube it just messed up my phone even more. I use ODIN to install all the files and now it is giving the error issue. I tried to get Sprint to hard reset it and they tired and it also did not work. Can someone please give me some advice on how to fix this issue.

*Note: My power button is broke, it is stuck on at all times & I can still click it but it doesn't work, can this be a problem when trying to fix it? I can still enter odin mode and yeah. Also I believe I forgot to turn on USB Debugging before doing this whole process but I was still able to access it through ODIN and reset it. Please help!*

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguy97:
Ive had my nexus since friday, and since in don't have a case I've been extra careful. Today I've noticed that I have a crack near the camera. I haven't dropped it or done anything that could crack it, so I'm assuming it came cracked. Has anyone else had the same issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Having received my nexus today I too noticed a small hairline crack/scratch just under the camera flash. The crack/scratch really is small so I'm willing to live with it as long as it doesn't get any worse. Worrying to think that the back is this weak though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dincfool:
So i've been trying to research this problem for hours now. Ive jumped around a bunch of different roms since owning this gs3. MIUI 4.1 - Aokp 4.2.1 and currently synergy 4.1.2. I think since flashing aokp 4.2 that i get that "0" file when looking for files and such. I can tap "0" like 4-5 times to finally get into the files i want. I'm not sure if this is where my problem is coming from?

Let me say i don't have ANY backups. Im running clockwork and wiped,reset,cache all of that multiple times. I have ZERO apps installed and only a handful of pictures. My internal memory says its full and i get a warning at the top saying that my internal storage is to the max and that some programs might not respond. The bulk of GB used is in the "misc" folder. I've seen other people with this issue but it seems the only fix is to re-format the internal memory and LOSE EVERYTHING. I'm sure someone here can help :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] barrackOBAMA:
You delete all those roms you downloaded after flashing them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Install Disk Usage (if you have the space <grin>) and see what it says is taking up the space:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dincfool:
I feel as though it has something to do with the emulated "0" folders. I have literally 5 of them. I downloaded disk usage and it shows 5 different "0" folders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dincfool:
Out of pure frustration, I went into the second "0" folder in file manager and deleted it. That in-turn must of deleted the other "0" folders? That free up 7 GB. My pictures and videos are still there but im wondering what else it deleted? It seemed like things would get stored in each of those "0" folders seperatly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Ah, yes, the joys of 4.2. I've never flashed a 4.2 ROM, so take what I say with a grain of salt. It's my understanding that when you flash 4.2, it takes everything on the internal SD (/data/media/ folder) and puts it into that "0" folder (part of that whole separate user accounts "feature"). So, if you've installed, let's say five, 4.2 Roms, then that info will have been copied 5 times and put into nested "0" folders.

If it were me, I'd run a nandroid and put it on my external sd. I'd also run a TiBu (under preferences you can switch default location to external sd). Once you're sure you have those, I'd copy whatever data you want to save from the internal (DCIM folder, music, etc) and move it to computer or external sd.

Have a copy of synergy on the external and go into CWM and wipe the internal SD card (mounts -> wipe system, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe internal sd), then reinstall synergy, restore from TiBu and you should be golden.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dincfool:
^^

That sounds about right. Man this right here is enough for me to never want to go to 4.2 until I have too. Is the easiest way to transfer all my files to external SD through a computer? Where abouts in the phone do you transfer/or assign your files to an external SD?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Have you installed Android SDK on your computer (ever used adb commands via command prompt)?

Edit: if you open up your phone in windows explorer, you should see 2 folders: Phone and Card (or something like that). You can drag the files from Phone to Card and they'll be on the external SD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dincfool:
Gotcha, i'll try that. I have a feeling once more people start running 4.2 they're going to run into this problem as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
If you do have the SDK set up, a faster way to do it (if you're moving a butt-load of data) is to open a command prompt on the computer and navigate to where you want the data. For instance, I use C:\Backups. I'll then create a 2 folders within Backups (one for internal and one for external sd) and give them the date as a name. For instance, C:\Backups\Internal_2_5 and C:\Backups\External_2_5.

Then I'll be in C:\Backups and issue these commands:

adb pull /data/media/ Internal_2_5
adb pull /external_sd/ External_2_5

Depending on how much data you're moving, it could take awhile. Now, you could pick and choose what you want to pull:

adb pull /data/media/DCIM Internal_2_5/DCIM

would only pull that DCIM folder.

When I dump all of it, I'll wipe everything, install my rom, get it all up and going, then go through each of those backup folders and delete the stuff that's not "mine" (ie the Android folder(since your new rom built it's own folder), etc), then I'll push it back to the phone:

adb push Internal_2_5 /data/media/
adb push External_2_5 /external_sd/

Clean wipe, clean install, and all the data that I wanted back. :cowboy:

(fair warning, if your cards are full, that push pull commands could take several hours...)

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylon:
If you can't enter "recovery" anymore via pressing the power button (e.g. you still have the original bootloader installed), you need to get the Kindle Fire back to "fastboot mode" to be able to set boot mode back to "recovery" from there.

From what you describe it sounds like you need a "Factory Cable" to get there. A factory cable is a special USB cable that the boot loaders of the Kindle Fire detect and then switch to fastboot mode automatically.

For both (fastboot mode and factory cable) you can find excellent tutorials in the "Kindle Fire General" section right here.

not neccessarily , i think you really need to imerse yourself in reading especially anything from kinfauns or vashypoo , trust me I thought I needed a factory cable too but you can do it , be patient , make sure you have the right drivers!!! Use a dedicated USB port (meaning one on the back of the pc), if your using adb the kindle drivers might work , it will say they are correct, but for me I used kfu and use there THERE drivers , they will work, kfu will get you a boot loader , might as well go FFF ,

[Nexus 4 General] ronnyg12:
So yes this Phone's battery unfortuanatly is not well at all.. but here is how i managed mine to last a day without charging. Let me also say im a heavy user also. I text A LOT and always pull out my phone in class play a few games to pass the time or just browse my phone. So this does work for heavy / light users.

Go to Wifi/ menu / advanced and click never on Keep wifi on during sleep.

Go to settings/ Location access - Switch to off

For your brightness it will be on Auto switch that off and put it almost to the lowest as you dont really need it high just kills the battery.

- Go to the App store and download Easy Battery savor. When you access the app choose intiligent mode. It really helps !

-Dont ever use live wallpaper it just drains it so fast.

- DOwnload Faux App It really helps (Faux kernel Enhancement Project) Once downloaded go to CPU and set max clock to 1.35 instead of 1.5. it will still be buttery smooth and it will drain the battery less.

Also I am using the Franco Kernel - nightly #53 which in my opinion really helps !

- Try to turn off the WiFi usage as much as possible and you will see a huge difference.

That's all from me guys. By doing all this my battery significantly improved and lasts about a day now.

Anyways if you have better solutionson how you manage your battery and how you extend its life.

- post pictures

- post the apps you use

- post everything :)!

Thank you !
[Nexus 4 General] wtfshouldidonow:
I use harsh. Whenever I don't game, I lower the max freq to just 810mhz, ondemand, row, mpdecision on (as harsh recommended) and it's still buttery smooth, and of course battery life is incredible, and I also do check the Disable HW Overlays and Force GPU in 2d rendering. And since no kernel controlling apps are needed, my phone feels cleaner too :p I can't upload battery stats yet as I'm in an area with only edge connectiom and I hate using slow internet connections :D

[Nexus 4 General] persheshhater:
Why dont you buy an old nokia since you almost get rid of all the cool stuff this phone offers? Brightness to lowest level...that cracked me up lol
[Nexus 4 General] mysterioustko:
A couple of things I noticed with this. The first thing I notice is, in two of your screenshots, you appear to have mobile data disabled completely. The second thing I noticed is that your final screenshot shows 24hr 52 min on battery, yet according to your clock, a it should really be a total of 33hr 6 min since unplugged. Your first screenshot shows 88% battery remaining with it already having been unplugged for 7hr 35 min. With that screenshot showing a time of 3:11pm, that would mean your phone was unplugged at 7:36am. If the phone was unplugged at 7:36am, then how is it only showing a total of 24hr 52min at 4:42pm the next day? It should be showing 33hr 6min. That's an odd inconsistency there. All in all, even with the data that is showed in your screenshot, it shows very little use as phone idle and cell standby are both in your top 5. Your screen was your highest drain, yet there isn't anything else there accompanying it. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that all you did was keep the data turned off on your phone, and connect to wifi where available. You turned your screen on, but didn't really do anything with the phone besides having the screen just on. That said, even stock with no changes, a person can get 24 hours on a charge if they're disabling their phone and not using it.
[Nexus 4 General] skezza:
Interesting tips however I have a few points:

Your first tip suggests having WiFi to Never stay connected during sleep. I am part of another Android forum which deals with tablets. We tested this feature as with a tablet, you are likely to leave it for hours on end before using it again. It was excellent if the tablet was not touched, however we noticed that it significantly increased the battery drain if you were regularly switching between sleep and using it.

Agree with the second but don't throw away practicality, use Location settings when they need to be use, not just turn them off and don't use them.

Leave it on auto-brightness dude, why ruin the nice visuals of a fantastic screen by having it so dark you can't see it? I only ever use lowest brightness when its dark or the battery is nearly dead.

No idea about the battery saver.

I definitely disagree with this. If you use 3G permanently, like I do, then turning on WiFi definitely reduces battery drain. I don't turn off data ever, so switching WiFi where possible is quite a useful battery saving technique.
[Nexus 4 General] canca14:
His solution is to turn off connectivity and functionality on the phone. That defeats the purpose of even having the phone at all.
[Nexus 4 General] skezza:
That said, I think a safe UC of maybe 200MHz can have a difference, but to me, it's all about enjoying the phone and the phone experience. No need to screw with it :D
[Nexus 4 General] Crisisx1:
Don't do the wifi feature. It will use more battery because it will constantly have to reconnect to the wifi connection every time your phone comes out of sleep mode and that will consume more battery.

[Nexus 4 General] wtfshouldidonow:
Same thing here..but I use scripts :p When I'm in school and all I need my phone for is some tethering and music, I activate my script that sets the max freq to just 810mhz and I undervolt an extra -50mv from the stock undervoltages of harsh, but when I'm out and away, I enjoy the full 1.5ghz quadcore beast trapped inside my pocket :D
[Nexus 4 General] skezza:
Don't get me wrong, it's useful to have a decent battery life, but I really don't see the need to turn the device into an expensive brick. My suggestions, which may or may not be better than the ones in the OP, but they seem to work for me on every Android I've come across without screwing with undervolting etc:

1. Turn Auto-Sync off, or increase the duration between each sync. On my old phone, the phone would use Auto-Sync every hour or so which totally killed the battery over the course of day. I turned it off and would sync it manually (taking all of 15 seconds) on a Friday. Made a huge difference, although simply increasing the time between syncs is just as effective if not more so as you still save a bit of time (might opt for that myself :good:)

2. Use Inverted Apps on SAMOLED, Don't use Inverted Apps on IPS, white colour uses more battery on SAMOLED, but a lot less on IPS :) :fingers-crossed:

3. Get yourself a Toggle-based Notification bar, you will remember to switch off your WiFi when walking around in public. To that end, switch your WiFi off unless you are connected to a hotspot, the constant scanning will drain your battery and depending on the interval may take quite a large hit over the course of a day. If you rely on WiFi then maybe increase the scan interval time.

4. Turn off all mobile networking services when in a known signal blackspot. e.g. When work pays for us to go to a hotel on the Welsh border in Cheshire, there is absolutely no signal guaranteed unless you go to the end of the driveway, so I turn off all phone services unless I am there. Your phone will drink your battery very quickly otherwise, guaranteed. The easy solution is to use WhatsApp, switch your phone onto Airplane mode then turn on WiFi and connect to a hotspot (if they have one available, hotels usually do). This is surprisingly low on battery consumption.
[Nexus 4 General] chancy319:
So basically, just leave my phone in my pocket and not use it. Okay. Gotcha.
[Nexus 4 General] m374llic4:
My battery life is amazing. I guess it just depends on what you compare it to. I had an evo 3d before, and my 3d would be dead by noon without even turning on the screen. My work blackberry lasts 5 days with fairly heavy email usage.

My N4 though, I use it fairly often for browsing, occasional calls throughout the day, streaming audio, this and that. After 12 hours of use I am still at 60% usually. From 7am to 5:30 (typically when i get out of work) I will be at 70%+

Not sure why people are so bent out of shape about it...

On my 3d if I ran facebook app or any stupid **** like that it would kill my battery like i didnt even have one.
[Nexus 4 General] davwman:
Here's another idea get a job or pay attention in school. That will save battery life as well. I have literally seen people stare at a screen without doing anything with the phone, just because they are so obsessed with it being in their hand

Oh and my Sig does not represent the nexus in the mail;)
[Nexus 4 General] WarToilet:
What about those external battery things? Does anyone know where I can find some decent ones online?
[Nexus 4 General] turbodroid:
I've used Juice Defender Ultimate since my Nexus S days and I wouldn't be without now as I get significantly better battery life when I have it all configured for my usage pattern. I don't have to toggle anything, it does it all for me. It knows to turn on wifi when I am in an area where I have a saved wifi connection and turn it off when I'm not. It turns off data when I don't need it and toggles it on to sync at the interval I choose. I also rarely if ever use bluetooth or NFC so those are always disabled unless I need them.

Battery life is very subjective and different for each individual. What I do works for me so I can attain a full 24hr day on a single charge. The problem is when you get a new phone, you initially spend a lot more time using it and it falls out of your typical usage pattern. I find the same thing happens to me, but the newness eventually wears off.
[Nexus 4 General] calyxim:
Dude just get a battery pack. Your phone will last 3 days.
[Nexus 4 General] ronnyg12:
This all depends on the person using it. No i don't need internet everywhere i dont want that over my life but THATS JUST MY OPINION.

the location access i should re- mention to only turn off the GPS and use the WiFi location access which drains less battery. The Brightness i leave it on almost to lowest because im mostly inside and it isnt very bright so i don't need it. Its usually close to the middle so its perfectly clear to me atleast.

Oh and i dont have mobile data which is why it is turned off yaya i know why would get it without data idk reasons. but this is based on a daily bases use to my everyday use. You can either use it or state how you manage to save your battery no need to criticize how i function with it.
