[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Amd4life:
Sprint is so arbitrary these days, made a few calls today, and now they state, on three separate calls that since I have a referral account that the upgrade price is $299, and even over the phone all referral accounts also require the $36 activation fee

I even brought up the $100 difference with amazon, and all three reps stated that the upgrade price differential is due to the difference in the monthly rate.

Maybe I am too nice or something, as I keep getting screwed by sprint reps over the last few months

I mean at that price and tax, its basically $400, local Craigslist is $500, why go on contract for only $100 savings

Sorry for the rant
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
That sounds about right. The 2nd person got it right. In the end your monthly bill should be $50. Only phone I have they won't add that fee is the palm pre.

My bad, I priced the phone at the amazon price. Your right about the sprint price of $299 for sprint. One way to get $100 off the price is calling retention and asking them for a customer loyalty credit. I've gotten that credit for my last 2 upgrades. This way at least it's technically only 199. Good luck

I understand your dilemma. I would just buy a gs3 on swappa.com or craigslist. Then wait for the announcement of the gs4 and use your renewal then. $400 is too much to sign a 2 year contract. Good luck with your decision.

It is not possible to change to a Sero plan unless you had it in the past and somehow convince them to give it back.

I found a bran new Note2 for 350 on crgslist i would look there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Phones at that price on craigslist are usually bad or its too good to be true. When a gs3 sells higher than that I highly doubt a note 2 at 350 is legit.

does anyone know if there is a way to buy a replacement screen that is gorilla glass? I've been given various links to sellers of s3 glass screens but none of them seem to be infact gorilla glass.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beanboy33:
I am looking for the same, but i havent found any yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fmcfad01:
Frankly, who cares if it's gorilla glass. The replacement glass is ~$10-15 on ebay. Grab one, put a screen protector on it for ~$10 and you're set. Gorilla glass doesn't hold much weight in my book considering how easily it breaks and it wasn't entire scratch resistant either...assume you've found the same to be true if you're looking for a replacement...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
Origianl S3 supposed 'gorilla glass' screen. Why bother?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcchazo:
Looks like you threw that out of a car.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
It actually fell out of my pocket (pants pocket - lower cargo pocket so about knee height) as I was getting it out.

Thing is, this was new years eve, and it had been sitting in my car for a number of hours. It landed on the edge of a concrete walkway, so it was uneven pressure when it hit.

And being as there was snow on the ground, it was really cold - the phone being in my car (off by the way) for those hours meant it was just as cold (and brittle) when it hit.

My 'why bother' comment was towards looking for gorilla glass instead of regular glass. The one time it would have mattered to me, it didn't. I'll cast a 'not impressed at all' vote on the gorilla glass aspect.

Far as i'm concerned, it's a sham product.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] romcio47:
Hello. I updated my T to a JellyBean a week ago. My bootloader is unlocked and I have stock kernel with TWRP.

My problem is whenever I boot my phone soon or later I get massive amounts of Partial Wakelock time from keypad and SMSDispatcher.

I have root and I installed better battery stats. Yesterday it showed me about 9h of total time, about 7h of deep sleep and... about 4h of partial wakelocks which was mainly caused (about 95% of total partial wakelocks time) by SMSDispatcher. I provided some earlier screenshots from BBS and Settings. It shows only 30 minutes of SMSDispatcher time but it's still quite big amount of time in comparison with ICS where this problem never occured. On the secons BBS screen there is huge Alarm Manager time but it does not matter, below there is still SMSDispatcher messing with my phone.

This is what I already tried:

1. I did a fresh, perfectly clean flash, I did not reatore ANY data from ICS at all. Nothing has changed.

2. I did not remove any system apks and there was no effect.

3. I removed the same apks I removed on ICS (I don't use most of them) and there was no effect.

4. I flashed .195 FW ICS baseband (because I had problems with low signal) and there was no effect.

5. I tried to wait as many users say after such big update we must give our phone somw time to optimize everything. I waited a week and guess what... there was no effect.

6. I wiped Dialer/SMS/Keypad data and there was no effect.

BUT! I did something interesting today. I turned off Airplane Mode for about 4 hours and left my phone in my locker at my job and what? Wakelocks disappeared! There were absolutely NO signs of any app waking up the phone.

I'm very curious what the hell is going on. There are no signs of any similar problems on the net. Please help me of you can. On ICS I had amazing battery life, sometimes the phone lasted even for more than 2 days without charging.

Please post your ideas. I think I tried almost everithing to fix this, without result...

Regards,

Roman

SMSDispatcher is obviously handling the SMS, keeps track of an SMS that has been sent to the Radio Interface Layer (RIL is a layer in android which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem), until it it has successfully been sent, it is awaiting a delivery status report for some SMS that has bean sent, it is retrying to send a previously failed SMS message, and more ... so it might have anything to do with any of this.

So when your phone is in Airplane Mode you are not using any radio/modem and that's why you don't have WakeLocks connected to SMSDispatcher.

I don't know what can you do about this, it may have something to do with weak signal and the phone keep trying and failing to send something, or it is constantly awaiting some delivery report but it's failing because of weak signal or something ...

To be honest I'm just saying some random stuff ... maybe you can try and disable delivery report, delete every SMS if you have any ... I don't know

Flashing different ROM-s (German, UK, Europe) gives no result. Soon or later I have the same problem. I flashed back to ICS and there is totally no problem with anything.

i got a drain problem too.. When i leave the phone in stand by mode over the night , i wake up in the morning and i see that it drained 4 to 8% of the battery .. i also updated το JB 4.1.2 a few days ago.

I didn't have any battery issues with 4.0.4 i am pretty sure that i had better battery management.

Bump and another update...

After going back to 4.0.4 .195 FW the problem started to occur even on the old ROM and it didn't before switching to JB. But it's not in so big way, but still it occurs and it's really strange. 22h on battery and 58 minutes of smsdispatcher waking the phone. Very annoying.

However I forgot to tell you that I always use GSM only option in settings. And after changing network to WCDMA only there are no wakelocks at all! But it's not comfortable to always use 3G because it drains more battery and there are problems with the signal strength here where I live.

Again the same question - is anyone able to help me?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] romcio47:
Problem solved. It was my old SIM card's fault. It was more than 6 years old and I had to manually cut it from mini-SIM to micro-SIM shape. I probably damaged its inside structure or something. I went to my carrier and requested a new SIM card factory cut to a micro-SIM shape and now everything is ok! No strange wakelocks at all! :)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
He's asking for a how-to guide on how to de-odex a ROM.

Answer: There won't be any specific ones for our phone. It's generally the same process regardless of phone. Depending on which guide you use, the guide may point to the sdcard folder, and the actual SD card on ours is sdcard2, unless you use the SD card swap mod. It won't make a difference as long as you have room on your internal storage if you use the sdcard folder.

The apps are the only other difference, in that no two unique phones have exactly the same apps you need to de-odex.

Suggestion about the help thread

It's getting kinda spammed and quite a few questions are going unanswered, instead of one help thread why don't we make 3 each with its own category organising things more and slowing the spam,

1. Questions thread

2. General chat and stuffz

3. (Think of another one)

As I said earlier,

Building from source is better than porting.

But... if you're building from source , you'll be stuck having the same bugs as CM9 by whitexp has.

Sources which broadcom released (actually patch files, not actual source) are mostly meant for CM7. That's why whitexp couldn't proceed with CM9. It you see the madteam forum, and check whitexp's comment on asking proper release of sources , you'll get to know what I'm trying to say.

Also,

I did say earlier that whitexp made CM10 via sources and had end up getting the same bugs as CM9. Try fixing CM9 , if possible :)

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] celisdelafuente:
Maybe, maybe not. Patched blobs Broadcom made available for CM7 could be linked to specific version of libraries in CM7 that could have changed in CM9 or CM10, the only way to know is trying to build CM10 using this blobs, they must be placed somewhere under vendor/samsung/totoro/propietary/lib

You better read the whole Getting Started section here first, then the thread from Whitexp about building CM7 and adapt it for CM10.

It will be useful if you had previous experience building succesfully the Linux kernel for any architecture or something like Linux From Scratch, a good understanding of how a Linux system works is critical to be able to set up the environment and do a succesful build.

Be prepared to spend a lot of time reading, hunting and fixing missing dependencies! Good luck.

Very odd. I'm assuming you're running stock and not a bleeding edge custom rom. Is this any ap, or just one or 2? Ones you control?

I really don't know enough about the spectrums and noise congestion, but if they're ones you can control, use a wifi app that'll show you all the aps and channels in your area. That should help you find a less congested one.

Same problem

Yea this is really weird. I have a ASUS RT-N66U router with a 2.4 ghz band and a 5ghz band as well as a second router being used as an access point. I have a fairly large house and my first router didn't quite reach some spots. So at first I had the SSID the same for both routers. I was having problems with the setup so I changed the SSID of the access point router and all was well for a couple of weeks. then all of the sudden the RT-N66U router started giving me the Authentication error. So I have tried everything including giving the 5ghz band a diffrent SSID and that worked for the 5ght band. I can access the 5ghz band but still get the authentication error with the 2.4ghz band.
