[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djd338:
Since I've upgraded to 4.2 roms on all my devices I've noticed this too. Normally, Maps is the culprit causing a "normal" wakelock. Google +, Latitude, Google Now, etc. This is just the way Google operates now & the biggest difference between 4.1 & 4.2. I've taken to disabling Location unless I'm needing GPS service. It checks your location every couple minutes it seems.

I've had a situation you describe a few times caused by media storage. It keeps scanning the SD card. Sometimes a reboot helps but mostly I've just changed roms instead of chasing it. Better Batt Stats should show it somewhere. Keep looking, look in "alarms". Also you might try GSam Battery Monitor. That app has come a long way lately & also helps finding battery sucking sources.

For me it was Viber. After deleting it I get almost no battery drain over night. Maybe 1% in 8 hours...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyelo2:
I have a 32 GB Nexus 7, and have installed Multirom v7, modified recovery TWRP 2.4.1.0, kernel_kexec_42-2.zip and have a functioning Ubuntu 13.04/Android dual-boot setup.

The question: on a Nexus 7 with an external USB stick and Ubuntu 13.04 installed (on the stick), can you add Bodhi or Arch Linux (to the stick) rather than to internal storage? If so, what is the procedure?

This topic shows up in several posts in showthread.php?t=2011403 thread but I cannot find a clear answer.

Thank you.

Ummm, I don't quite get xda. Isn't kanging really what android is all about? If ur shutting down Hawks thread then shouldn't u close the rest too?? Arnt all Sense, Touchwiz, Motoblur, etc. Roms technically kangs? Is the spirit of android not open source?

In other news, water is now banned for being wet. To the mod that closed this thread, xHAUSX, r ur roms not kangs? Betcha 1000 bux they all r. U down to take that bet? Didn't think so. U may proceed with my ban if u wish. U can't stop me though, I shall return again and again to defend gr8 devs like Hawk from the peter puffers that call themselves mods on this site.

At the CORE of every DROID is.....like, hardware and stuff. There's little wires and stuff in there too but u get the idea.

All work containing Core Droid was moved off of XDA back in November and continuing to advertise it here is unacceptable. The rules regarding it and the need for GPL compliance are very clear.

If you wish to use them you are free to do so, just please keep it off of XDA.

I am no longer going to donate to xda, ever again. I am also not going to donate to a dev that only posts to xda.

I will ONLY donate via other sites. And, yes, I have donated to several but not via xda links ever again. And I will thank the devs for supporting NON xda sites.

I will never reference xda as a site for information to others again.

This is how I get to vote on the xda Storm Troopers' tactics.
[HTC Rezound] saintsfan09:
I completely agree but I had to make one last donation to the Mod that closed down Hawks thread, XHausx. It appears that he really is clinically retarted and I'm not comfortable with the fact that I insulted someone with a mental disability who, thru no fault of his own, cannot even recognize when he is being insulted. I feel even worse that I rooted his mother and attempted to unlock her bootloader before discovering it had already been unlocked many many times before. I donated 2 bux to burry the hatchet. Please consider doing the same. I'd like to think I helped eventually finanace a trip to the zoo for him or something.

I would now like to direct my OP to whoever gave a retarted person Mod privileges to begin with. U SUCK!

If I wasn't so PISSED I'd be laughing. Nope, not going to donate to xda'ers. Not a chance. Not even for the zoo. LOL

Although I agree that it's silly to close a thread over two posts, your reaction has made you look like a stereotypical internet 12 year old. You threw in comments about his mother and his mental competence. There are much more mature ways to handle the situation.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucksoftllc:
I don't know when this change took effect exactly, but I just reinstalled my OS, and upon reinstalling the Android environment, I noticed a glitch in the AVD Manager. Now there is just a checkbox upon AVD creation that says "Use skin.....", but no drop down for skin selection. I had to dig around a bit but I found a work around and thought I'd post it.

This is how to get your skin working in Windows 7, XP will be nearly identical with a few path differences

First, use the AVD manager to make your AVD.

Now, go to C:\Users\<Your User>\.android\avd\<Your AVD Title>\config.xml

Open the file, and look for the following three lines, or add them if they aren't present

skin.dynamic=yes <---- set that value to yes if it is currently no

skin.path=platforms\<android version you are using>\skins\<name of your skin directory>

skin.name=<name of your skin directory>

That should do it, at least after this I was rockin and rollin. Good Luck!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] WASSHOI:
Last night my phone died after 2 days off cable due to me having to use my cord for another device. I plugged it in today to find that it wasn't charging at all. I decided to give it a few minutes before trying, thinking it may not be turning on because it still needs some juice. I waited 30 minutes and it wouldn't turn on still, just gave me the little animation of a battery draining to indicate that it needs to be charged. After this, I figured that it's possible the cable is just dead, so I opted to borrow a cable from my brother. The cable charges his phone just fine, but it doesn't work with charging my phone. I took a shower while waiting for it to perhaps get the juice it needed, and still no dice. I tried several different outlets thinking perhaps the outlet was dead, and still nothing.

I've had the phone for a little over a month, so I'm not sure how long I have to turn it in or not; I'd hope it'd be 3 months for factory issues, but judging from how people mention 14 days, I'd assume that they're eager to push responsibility of broken devices onto the customer as fast as they can. Do you guys have any idea of what could be wrong? Perhaps if it's possible for me to get a replacement at this point?

I've been running the Lifeless v.11 Rom for a while with no issues, I haven't flashed anything in possibly a week or two, so I honestly doubt this is a software issue. It's never been exposed to water, but then again I really don't trust phones to detect if they've been damaged or not since it seems even a humid day is enough for those small water damage detection stickers to run pink.

Pull your battery, try again
[Sprint LG Optimus G] WASSHOI:
Yea, going to update this. Sprint was giving me issues and trying to cough up money from me, so I pulled the battery and cleaned the port with a q-tip and it charged fine again. I was in for a scare there, but it's back to life.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] arhoover:
Same problem...didn't have to pull battery

Just wanted to chime in with my experience.

I had same issue. Battery completely drained with a visit to the relatives (low cell signal).

Got home and plugged it in for 5min, the "battery charging" animation came on when short pressing the power button.

Had to move the phone to a different charger for the night and noticed that I couldn't get it to even show the charging animation while on the charger. Indeed after 8 hours on the charger the next morning it still wouldn't turn on. I thought I would have to take it back to Best Buy. On a whim, I thought I would drain all of the capacitance from the system by pressing and holding the power button to see if that would allow it to restart the charge cycle. So I held the power button for about 30-45sec off the charger, then waited about 30min and plugged it in at work.

It worked. Not sure why, but I didn't have to return it to Best Buy, so I'm happy.

Hi,

I was trying to move some data from sdcard0 to extCard0 and symlink it but the underlying fs does not let.

So, whats the way around this within android/jb/s3 realm?

If it was a standard linux box something like unionfs would do it. Is there something like an overlaying fs for android/s3?

Any RTFM with links are welcome :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsd2000:
I think you meant ln and not ls.

That does not work on /storage/sdcard0

That's why I am asking about an overlay fs on top of /storage/sdcard0 before start to work on that.

I figure out that here would be the place where people would know the underline workout in a S3 device.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCPModding:
Looking for a remote I can use with my TV (not connected to the internet ) to control smile functions such as channel and volume up and down power and input. Is it possible to download one from the play store or side load one if there is none? I need it to work on a Samsung plasma tv.

I appreciate your help!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
I don't believe the Nexus 7 has the required IR Transmitter to accomplish this. If, however, your TV supports Bluetooth, then it very well may be possible if your TV company has released an app to do this.

Hello,

So I've been rooted for a while now, i was going to install a custom rom but decided not to a few months ago. Tonight, i decided to install aokp, however my phone would not go into cwm, only stock recover. I could have sworn it was installed, but fine, so i installed it once again with auto reboot in odin checked, and it still wouldnt enter cwm. I then tried to install it again with auto reboot checked off so i could see if i could enter it without the reboot. I ended up getting into it, but then when i was taking a NANDROID, it just froze on one of the first steps. Fine, reboot, try to enter cwm again. Nope, just stock android recovery. I am sure im installing it correctly and pressing the right button combos. I am at a total loss for what is stopping me from being able to enter cwm. I hope you guys know/help me find whats going on.

Thanks!!!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
maybe you didn't actually "root" your phone to begin with lol

are you sure you have "superuser" or "superSU" app?

anyways to get CWM or TWRP recovery you need

find a up-to-date CWM or TWRP (if i spell teamwin recovery correctly)

download it

put your phone in ODIN Mode (download mode) by power + vol down + home

flash the recovery

i personally think twrp is better

they just released a new version which support ExFat

and all you need is just use terminal on your phone to install it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zay48:
Yes my phones rooted.

If you actually read my post, you'd know that that is EXACTLY what I am doing.

Thanks anyways though..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
i have no idea how i missed that odin part on your part... i read everything but somehow i just missed that part alone 0_0

anyways

try install twrp recovery instead then

by using terminal emulator

can get it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

latest twrp can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2074951
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zay48:
Aha its alright :)

I'd like to stick with cwm though, its what im familiar with. If nobody else has an answer i'll try it tomorrow though.

Thanks :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
if you still want cwm then i guess you can try flash stock rom and root it again and see

since you're going to flash a custom rom which will delete all your data anyways
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
Stock ROM has a built in script that reloads standard android recovery when it boots. The only way to keep it is to keep Odin auto reboot unchecked, boot directly in and make your nandroid/flash custom. Once you are on a custom ROM CWM will stick.

On a side note TWRP is a very nice recovery and many people find it much easier to use. If you insist on CWM, make sure you have the latest version. You might need to flash CWM again if you had a bad flash. It shouldn't freeze up on a nandroid.

Many people never experienced this because they flashed during early ICS when the device was released. The change was an update just before JB was released which caused this little annoying script to appear.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zay48:
Thankyou!! That makes sense ;p. When I did get to start making a nandroid last night but it froze, right before it froze it said the free space on my sdcard was 1612 mb (or something like that) This is wrong, I have the 16gb i747 so I have 11.95 gb of usable storage for apps and such, after deleting some big apps I have 4.93 gb available, my sdcard is a 16 gb sdcard which has 12.06 gb available. Do the math and I have enough room on my sdcard for a nandroid, so what could be causing cwm to freeze and report false information?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zay48:
Bump :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
what version of CWM are you currently running?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
you could always try to download GooManager or ROM Manager from the Play Store.

then from one of those, install the custom recovery, GooManager for TWRP or ROM Manager for CWM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zay48:
3.0.7
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
That is a very out dated version as they are now up to version 6.0.2.3. I would try getting an updated CWM. that could very well fix your freezing/reporting problems...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
CWM is very very funny and one of the reasons I switched to TWRP was for stability

In my experience errors come up on restoring images when 1) you don't use the same version you backed up the image with 2) you don't get to CWM through the same method you used while making the image (ie through ROM manager with your phone on).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
He's not having a problem restoring images, he's having a problem making his first nandroid.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
Holy hell! CWM 3.0 is still around? Like RP said, you're recovery is severely outdated.

This.

Also, I was a long time CWM touch user on my old NS. After using TWRP on this phone, I will never look back at CWM. TWRP is much more user friendly. Give it a shot OP unless you're adamant in using CWM. Again, update your recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Download rom manager and update your cwm and then try making a nandroid again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
I was also a CWM user, but after I got my s3 and my first flash of CWM on the s3 hard bricked my phone, I decided to use TWRP. Little did I know I was missing out on what TWRP had to offer. I won't ever turn back to CWM again lol.

That said... If you insist in CWM, this is the guide I followed to get a successful CWM flash. (This was the CWM I was running successfully for the brief time TWRP disbanded.)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:

Preach brother!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
I actually have a strong suspicion it is not actually version 3. I researched and found numerous guides which included a "rooting package" and the zip file was named "CWM_SuperUser_3.0.7.zip" which is the version of SuperUser, not CWM lol. I am assuming this is where the information came... but I could be wrong :p

Ok guys heres the deal. Am currently on tmobile contract plan, planning on canceling it soon. Want to go with at&t prepaid data plan. What do i need and what do i need to do to make my tmo gs3 to work with att 3g/4g network? Data and mms along with txt and all. Im pretty sure its more than just cut the sim and slip it in. Or is it? Im a complete noob so be gentle lol. Thanks in advance.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
It actually is pretty simple, but you have to have TMobile give you the unlock codes to your phone. Basically once you have the ATT Sim, insert it and your phone should prompt you to enter a carrier unlock code. This is where you enter said code once obtained from TMobile.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1slow4G:
Awesome. Thanks! So do i just ask for the code or lie my way around and get it? Also, any setting i need to adjust to recieve data and mms? Ive read some have had issues not sure if this applies with the tmo code tho

You may need to set your APNs if you make the switch and lose data/signal. Just Google ATT APN settings and it will explain what you need to set. (Prepaid plans might have different APNs so make sure you find the right one for your plan)

As far as obtaining the unlock codes from TMobile, you could try saying your leaving the country on extended vacation, that may help, but if your still in contract and they refuse you there's nothing you can do.. other than call back and get a different rep.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1slow4G:
Thanks man^^

I spoke with a tmobile rep and they are going to email me the unlock codes within "72hrs" ill be waiting. So after that is done i will proceed with the rest of the process with an att sim.

Yes i will Google the apns once i get the rest sorted out. Looks like its not that hard after all. The most hassle is going to be getting a sim activated since theres no store near me gonna have to order one online

You can always go with StraightTalk. Their plans are cheaper than att prepay and have semi unlimited data.(something att prepay doesnt). And they have tmobile compatible SIM cards.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1slow4G:
Ive heard about that aswell, going to look into that. I need att service. Tmobile doesnt work where i work. At&t does. So, simple mobile for at&t get same reception as an regular at&t service?
