[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
Has anyone traveled to Tokyo, Japan with the Sprint Galaxy S3?

I'm heading there next week. I know that there is CDMA there for voice calls, but was uncertain about "actual" experience. Talking with Sprint directly didn't lead me to believe much of anything. They had no idea what they were talking about really. Can you text the US? Can you call the US? is it outrageously expensive? What about any mobile data there?

I'm prepared to do what I do in Europe and just put her on airplane mode and use WiFi and GPS, but thought I'd seek out others experience.

I've tried to reach out to others on different forums, but haven't had much luck with responses. Thought I'd throw this out here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
You's basically have to use airplane mode and wifi and gps. If you use google voice, you should be able to make calls and send / receive texts, as it acts as a voip basically at that point; though you can't receive mms message on google voice.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobadee:
Japan uses its own weird proprietary cell phone system; I don't think there is any CDMA. Just use WiFi and Google Voice for texting as that will be free. You can also get a SIP provider to make voice calls with. (Google Voice doesn't make SIP calls from your phone.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
Thanks guys for the replies. When I'm in Europe, I just use Google Talk voice or video chat when I'm on Wifi. I'll do that again. I've heard that Tokyo is pretty weak on wifi availability though. I'm guessing the places I'm going for this conference should be juiced up.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
Just to put this information out there on this thread for others searching a similar topic [and I'll update back with my experience when I return]:

I'm going to rent a Pocket MiFi from GlobalAdvancedCommunications in Japan:

https://www.globaladvancedcomm.com/pocketwifi.html

They have a 42Mbps and a 75Mbps option for about $55 for 3-4 days. Since that's all I'm going for, this seems like a good fit. There is a cheaper option called econnectJapan that has slower data speeds and better plans for long term travel. GAC one offers free delivery or pickup in the airport or directly to your hotel. I'm hoping this actually works and I get a unit, needs a lead time of 2 days, which I'm at currently. Other reviews of this service seem to be positive. I went with the 75Mbps unit because it has a 3000MAh battery, so in theory I'll get more usage before needing to plug it in. I plan on toggle it on and off as needed. I know my hotel doesn't have WiFi and I'm not sure about the Conference Center.

An outfit like Xcom Global, which delivers for any country in the world, seems really over priced after looking at these companies in Japan. But then again, they are delivering to the whole world.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
I know that no one probably cares about this, but the pocket WiFi thing from Global Advanced Communications worked like a charm. I was pulling down ~35mbps and up ~25mbps most of the time I was there. LTE strong in buildings and everything. Basically, I used Google voice chat through "Talk" and Video chat through G+ and was able to keep up with everything back in the US. The subway schedule on Google Maps was a friggin' life saver. In fact, Google Maps knew better routes and prices of fares than the local Japanese that I spoke with. Google 1, Japanese 0.

There are 0 wifi hot spots in Japan that I could find also. So don't rely on that. Finally, all my electronic devices did not need any adapters because they were non polarized plugs (meaning one tab fatter than the other). My laptop (Dell) also didn't need an adapter because my hotel had a US 3 prong outlet in the desk in the room (Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa). However, you would need a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter and then one that doesn't have a polarized plug.

2. Custom rom and custom kernel.(use TWRP to flash the rom or kernel zip file).

They come with pre-rooted, so you don't need root. Here is the best rom which compatible with both the tablet and dock:

@buhohitr

Question for the master: I am on CROMI 3.2.1 and still have TWRP 2.2.3. Should I push TWRP 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 before I flash CROMI 3.2.2?? I've been reading posts about conflicts between outdated recoveries and bootloader. What's outdated? At the same time, the latest TWRP builds seem to be buggy and sdbags wrote he went back to CWM? What's your advice?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Update to TWRP 2.3.1, it works for most of us. I don't know which version was the first to be compatible with the JB bootloader, but 2.2.3 sounds quite old - and if you choose "wipe data" from the bootloader menu or use any "boot to recovery" tools with an incompatible recovery, you risk turning your tablet into an expensive paperweight.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Thanks for that, _that - no pun intended. Really appreciate it, I had a feeling, the recovery may be too old.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grunt-master:
I think my battery may be shot. It takes about 6 hours to fully charge. Im not sure but im station in germany. The building has 110 and 220 volts. I got it in the usa and use the 110. But i was told that if i have a alarm clock from the usa and plug it in the 110 that the clock will be alot slower because the amps are diffrent here. Is that the problem why it takes so long? I have a nexus 10 too but take the nook with cm10 to the field. It just sucks how it takes forever to charge. Thanks for the help.

It partly depends on what charger system you are using. You need to be using the stock charger and cable to get fast charging. See my NC tips thread linked in my signature to see the battery charging issues.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakujou_Kei:
Hi there,

i tried a lot of word combinations to get a thread with my specific problem but i didnt manage it to find one.

So here is the deal:

i have german galaxy s 2 (9100, bought in september 2011) and i flashed it last year with darkyrom HD something gingerbread-style.

so it was rooted and all that stuff.

it worked pretty fast and it was stable and it looked sleak.

Last year in November i put Ressurrection remix 3.x (dont know which version of it) on my phone.

It had a lot of crashes, freezes and while playing ingress it always drained around 20% of the battery within 10-20minutes.

So i stopped it. I put the last version of it 3.1.3. of it onto my phone with a full wipe, cache partition, factory reset onto my phones and the problems went keep going.

As an example:

-I couldnt access options where i can select ringtones or to see what is on the sd. it crashed and went back to the "main screen".

-Yesterday i tried around 15 roms, and nearly everything except militant rom keep crashing while iam installing them.

-Sometimes it crashes already while iam installing the rom, sometimes its after a couple of hours, that i cant access the rom any more.

-The newest problem is, that sometimes the power button doesnt respond, when i push it (in jelly bam)

Please explain, what iam missing or is my phone just broke?

It never fell down, no water or anything freaking other things.

I hope you can help me.

should i send it back or what is wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreehari.007:
i dnt knw bt samsung.. bt may b it happens coz of when ur changing ur rom gb to i cs or jb whole operating system is diff so u hav to format ur sd card to make it working.

i cant boot it right now without the power plug.... and the battery is at 90%....

so something is completely broken within the system....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakujou_Kei:
i thought the kernel is already included when you're installing one of the roms?

which one should i take?

or how wipe the whole system to have it like "out of the box"?

flash a stock ROM and see how it behaves.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaq:
if you are rooted, you can try flashing NeatROM lite 4.2 based on LS8 and see how it behaves else flash official JB 4.1.2 using odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakujou_Kei:
ok, ill try that right now..

if not using odin and try to do something with my nand???

after cleaning and putting a stock rom on it and afterwards rooting it with cwm still the same problem: boot loop or while the first installation, it crashes.

so what to do?

just hang around with the stupid official one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegyh:
If you did everything from Factory reset to changing kernel, and everything is still bad like that. I think that there's something with your phone's hardware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaq:
after flashing the ROM via odin, reboot into recovery, wip/factory reset and then go in to mount & storage, make sure system, data and sd cards (internal & external if any) are all mounted if not mount it and reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakujou_Kei:
well, i tried that. still nothing. it crashes or i have a bootloop.

so whats up with this phone?

so except the stock rom, where i can boot into it, all custom firmwares just crash or work for a while and then they'll crash.

i dont get this.

it started just days ago, now i dont even can use anything....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakujou_Kei:
just as an example, when i tried to put on the neatrom-lite on my phone, it crashes while iam selecting the country. and this is just 2-3seconds after booting into the fresh and new system.

something is completely ****ed up....

so right now, i have the militant rom on my phone, got booted up, but the power button doesnt work.... when the phone is on...

so everytime, when i want to switch of the screen, i have to wait, or take of the battery. and switching on is only possible with the home button.

whats wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Given you have the same problems on stock, hardware problem. Back to stock, reset counter, send it in for warranty service (if you have warranty), if not, take it to local mobile repair shops.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakujou_Kei:
reseting the counter... with stock? how to do that? i thought this is only possible with root? and i thought, as soon as i root, there is something already on the counter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
You have two option. Either flash a custom kernel (siyah, for example), then reset the counter using triangle away app. Then flash a stock firmware using odin. This wont increase the counter.

Or, if you have a USB jig, flash an older bootloader (have to careful here), then simply plug in the jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakujou_Kei:
hey, i got the problem:

i transferred a few files between the sd card and the internal storage of my device, and i realised, that the device is not able to fully transfer the files. it says after 40-50% that its done. is there a flash the roms via ODIN? or how to do that? just put the rom.zip as PDA?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Unzip first.

I'd advice you to read about flashing with odin and watch a couple of videos on youtube before you put yourself up to it or else you're gonna have a bad flash, and that means trouble.

[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Well, the title says it all. I recently had a predicament where my device wasn't receiving 4G. We came to the conclusion it was the SIM card.

My phone is pulling at least 9 MB/s usually, but when I load an app, 3 that come to mind are Facebook, Google Reader, and Google Now, it takes at least almost as long as 3G speeds to load anything... I just cleared the data on the Facebook app, tried to log in, and it took so long that it timed out and won't log in.

What the **** is going on with my phone? I got a replacement shipped to me, but I already sent it back due to the fact that I got my 4G connection back. It seems as though whenever I load anything, there's always this..... extreme delay to get everything started. If I open up Google Chrome, the phone moves insanely fast browsing. I don't understand what is holding back the other apps from pulling in a good connection.

Can anyone tell me what is going on with my device? I'm getting frustrated as hell.
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
Random, not probable, and i'm just thinking out loud since no one else is... haha

But, does it act that slow all the time (in those certian apps, or all around)?

When you conduct your speedtests, are you in the same location as when you are trying to use those apps that load slow?

The reason i ask, is because i recently troubleshooted data speeds on my phone that were frequently occurring, well as it turned out the "frequently" was only when i was in my barracks room. I conducted a test inside my room, slow as hell, i stuck the phone out the window and conducted a test, and it was instantly the 4G LTE Speeds. (Note:I have ALWAYS gotten good speed in my room up until like 4 days ago) I don't know if verizon changed something, or the tower changed or what, but it was random and yeah...
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
I've tried speed tests in various locations, and they're all pulling good MB. I've not dipped below 3 MB at all. It's definitely not a room situation either because I've tried it in different parts of my city and different houses/buildings. It's strictly my device.

Ugh... I have to call them again to get this issue fixed now. :l
[HTC Droid DNA] BigRed35m:
Call them so they can what, tell you to enable/disable your data connection, then power off your phone for 30 seconds and restart, put it in airplane mode and then back out, then if all else fails restart the phone from scratch? lol

Sorry i couldn't help.
[HTC Droid DNA] gobraves00:
When u open app for first time it is slow, bit if you close app and reopen it, is it fast on reopening or just as slow? I know when I usr cache cleaner the first time I open apps it takes an extra sec to pull them open.

[HTC Rezound] savagebunny:
Well since I love getting into technical results with this Rezound since I got it, I'm pretty much really late to the game with this phone. My Thunderbolt took a crap on me during deployment and I've been spending the last 2-3 weeks working on it here and there to make it the best battery life for my OWN personal usage.

People may say *Oh dur turn on 4G* I know 4G eats battery, but where I'm at, I get very very spotty signal, Most I use is 3G sending MMS. I keep data off all day since I just text.

Since I get spotty signal, obvious answer is my phone will use more battery for itself. I'm am well aware of this. I have most of the stuff memorized I have done to this phone, rom wise, build.prop, Kernel Tweaker etc. So if you have any questions about what I've done just ask me. It's hard enough to search through a ton of threads and get VERY VERY vague answers. Seems like it's been like this since I jumped on the HTC Inc back in the day

I did take these with my camera because screenshot didn't wanna work properly with me so I just grabbed my camera and shot the pics off. If anyone wants me to post my usuage from yesterday via battery_stats I can.

EclipticRez 5.2.1

Funky v2.3, S2W disabled.
[HTC Rezound] liqwidzero:
The best results I've found in regards to battery life is with using Kernel Tuner and giving each processor core a different governor (cpu0 Badass, cpu1 Conservative) and underclocking and tweaking some settings in MPdecision. Also, turn off auto-brightness. Take it to around 35-40% and just leave it there.

I also leave LTE on at all times, but I also use WiFi wherever available.

Granted, I don't have my extended battery (yet - just ordered one earlier in the week), but I finished yesterday with 17 hours and 2 hours and a few minutes of screen on time. That's just with the standard 1620 mAh battery.
[HTC Rezound] savagebunny:
Well I will defiantly try that out, I was also using auto the whole day since I was constantly inside/outside when the sun was blaring.

What are your current MPDecisions in Kernel Tweaker?

Also in Kernel Tweaker, does it not sometimes load your settings for the CPU? I heard it was kernel related and not ROM related. Sometimes my CPU0 would stay at 1080MHz where I set it at but CPU1 would reset to 1.5Ghz
[HTC Rezound] liqwidzero:
Mine jumps back up to 1.5 on CPU1 as well, but that's a non-issue. Set it to Conservative. Make sure that the minimum is set at 384 MHz for each core. Otherwise it will just start jumping around (at least, that's what happens to me). I don't know if it's exactly kernel related, though. I was able to run Funky 2.4 on a Sense 4 ROM (Newt's OneXxX 6.0.2, I think) and cpu1 stick, though.

MPdecision:

Service Start Delay: 10000 ms

Pause: 10000 ms

Threshold Up - Load: 40 ms

Threshold Up - Time: 450 ms

Threshold Down - Load: 5 ms

Threshold Down -Time: 250 ms

Idle Frequency: 192
[HTC Rezound] savagebunny:
Thanks. Ya that's what I just set it too. I was using dancedance on both cores when I posted up the screen shots. Will see how it goes for the most of the day. Yesterday I sent out almost 300 texts maybe or more so that was a majority of screen time with 3 different people to say the least.
[HTC Rezound] savagebunny:
Oh and another anomaly I can't quite figure out. Some days my phone only pulls less than -100mA and then only ~-20mA on average in screen off sleep. Now today instead of doing the same thing yesterday, todays average has been more near ~ -280mA+ with screen off sleep

I have changed nothing on the phone. Did a restart, no change. Shut phone down completely, pull battery and reboot and still the same result. And even when people ask me what my wakelocks are, I post them and then no one knows what they are nor can I find documentation on the software itself.
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
did u tried to check it with gsam battery to see what drain or what waking up the phone ?
[HTC Rezound] liqwidzero:
Try uninstalling some memory intensive apps and reinstall them. Sometimes restored files, for me, just need to be reinstalled.

Also, I just received my extended battery and I'll see how far I can go with it.

How has your phone been doing since the new settings?
