[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Android_UK:
Hello,

I have been watching and since reading u on this section of the XDA Forums since the start of december 2012 when i got my Xperia S. Excellent phone but after a while the stock ICS did start to annoy me with it's frequent hang ups and it's inability to open up simple programs at times.

So i decided to flash a kernal after updating to .45 ICS stock, specifically the Sspeed V8 kernal. Again it was good and even up until yesterday before i flashed the CM 10.1 it was doing it's job.

I decided to go one step further and i unlocked the bootloader and i firstly installed CWM 6.x.x.x, then backed up my data, wiped cache partition, wiped the dalvik cache then i wiped the phone data, Then i flashed the CM 10.1.zip it installed successfully. It loaded up with out any glitches or hitches.

I then flashed the Gapps.zip V.xxxx2012 for 10.1/4.2.2 it to flashed successfully.

I have been so far impressed how smooth and lag free it is and such a big difference,

i have encountred 3 bugs, mostly the "(insert app name) unexpectedly closed" bug, in this order.

Camera - when turning on the HDR feature of the camera and then trying to take a picture it crashes with the above bug error msg. the first time this happened i tried to open the app again but it would not open and repeatedly the above error kept on appearing. I rebooted the phone and the app starts up with out any problems, BUT again when turning on the HDR feature it will crash again to home screen but i can be started again and used, just with out the HDR feature turned on, the rest of it works fine (i dont use the HDR feature anyways.

Messages - this crashed with the same bug above after some mid-light usage after about 12 hours or so, i simply rebooted the phone and it solved it.

so far no other bugs have been encountered and it is still running smooth.

i wanted to to ask this is a known issue the bugs above?

also my second question is, will a multi-tasking window mod be available or possible for the CM 10.1 like on the samsung phones?

thanks i will try and update this thread with new bugs and fixes.

Hi guys.

If we let the option “WIFI frequency band” turned on Automatic, and of course if your router has both options simultaneously, would you know which band N4 will pick up? Is there a preference order?

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
What ever one you sign into as long as you have it password protected. If not password protected I believe 2.4ghz is the standard meaning that it would most likely pick up 2.4ghz. Don't quote me on that though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbster:
I have both frequencies and my phone shows no "preference". It seems as though I get better reception on the 2.4 but I don't think that has anything to do with the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
Do you experience any problems with your current setting?

If not, why bothering to change that option.

If you do, try all options and test yourself (speedtest.net) & stability
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauleandro:
No, had no problems. Only the strength on 5Ghz is weaker /shorter depending where you are in your house. Of course is because this frequency has a wider range, so it's normal.

And I have done that, I tested a lot. And I don't bother, just want to know how it works, as simple as that. Why would the phone pick up the 2.4 Ghz rather than 5Ghz? (at least it seems it does so), on the same strength conditions, considering that the quality of 5Ghz is overall better?

I have the VivoTab RT tablet and enjoy it, but it's a bit sluggish.

I was wondering whether the Atom processor full Win8 tablets like the Thinkpad Tablet 2 or the Acer W510/P would be any faster? Having full Windows 8 is cool, but I'm looking to improve performance in Metro apps and Office mostly.

Anyone with any experience using both RT and an Atom tablet, I'd love to hear from you....thanks in advance :)

Hello Community

I have such a big problem.

I overclocked the CPU of the Desiire HD from 1200MHz to 1300MHz and now my phone just crashes when i try to start it. It just boot succesful & when i try to enter my PIN, NOTHING happens & the screen just freeze after 5-10secs.

So, I try to remove the battery, SIM Card & SD Card, start the CWM recovery & wipe cache, but then its still the same, when I try to enter my Pin ..... my scrren freeze.I also tried to rename my rom to "update.zip" & flashed it, but it still doenst work.I dont want to do a facory reset because i didnt backup anything ._. , I know . im such a fool.

I read on the "Android Revolution HD ROM" post, that there is a tool to set the CPU back to 1GHz, but when I try to open the link I got an "404 Error" .. I tried to google it, but i cant find it? Is this tool, a tool to flash or is it a .apk or something like that? Do you guys know if there is another tool like this? Please help me :'( !

P.S. for overclocking i used the codefireX settings from the codefireX Custom ROM.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yehuda1amar:
Hello folks,

As a part of idiotic ""data security"" my organization decided to block all USB connection from and to mobile devices.

Till recently, usb PTP mode (camera) connection worked and now they've blocked it as well.

The question is, whether there is a way to change the GS3 ports which it uses for usb connection so the computer will recognize it as something different then media device or camera but still will let me move photos and files from and to the computer ?

Thank you so much in advance.

YA.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AlphaTrix:
Hi, I'm still fairly now to custom ROM's so I might have missed something. I ran across this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147925) ROM for my xperia P. I have been using FXP for a while now and updated it to the latest version then, flashed the eXperience rom with CWM. All works nicely but I seem to have lost the camera app. I was wondering what the cause is, is it removed by installing the eXperience or was it just not included in FXP 208? I didn't check to see if there was a camera app before I flashed eXperience over FXP CM9

I would post this in the ROM's thread but I can't as I have to few posts.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AlphaTrix:
Is that flashable on a CM9 based ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AlphaTrix:
I can confirm myself this does not work on CM9, I just tried and no camera showed up.

I decided I would go back to FXP by the zip. However when I try to flash it I get an Error 7 and the installation aborts. After some looking around I found some info about modifying the update script which I did, now I get Error 6. Is this fixable?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AlphaTrix:
Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? I really want to be able to try out new mods but every zip I've tried to flash so far, even the ones that worked before, give me error 7.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PDADoc:
I'm absolutely loving my S III, but there is one major thing that is annoying the hell out of me, and I can't figure out how to resolve the issue:

whenever I plug my S III into the charging dock, a light blue screen saver comes up with a calendar, weather, and four icons at the bottom that seem to be unchangeable. I have looked all through the settings, and whenever I thought I found the setting to disable it, it still comes up. I tried looking for a file using root explorer and Titanium Backup that I could freeze or disable it, but I can't find it. :banghead:

Can someone please help me get rid of this damn screen? I would certainly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance for any help! :D

I tried that, it won't let me do that. However I installed the pit file and then installed the stock firmware and it worked. I migh have to give Verizon a call however. Good thing I reset the counter. How can I go back to completely stock (the way I bought it)? Lock the downloader and codon back to stock? How is the counter tripped? By unlocking the bootloader or locking the bootloader? Or by flashing a Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Another person abusing the system. You take the risk of bricking your phone when you decide to flash things. Own up to your mistakes and pay for a new one through insurance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
You do realize that instances such as this are the reason why Verizon doesn't want anyone to be able to flash anything, don't you? I don't like their business practices, as most others on here don't, but I don't think it is their place to replace a phone that has been damaged by user error either. The sad thing is that all of us have to pay for it every month with their inflated pricing to help cover other people's mistakes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macman159:
Who said that I was abusing the system? I was talking about to reset the device so I can get a new device because they won't give me a device unless if it is on stock. (I have insurance with them). I am not abusing the system. Also there is also another problem that I need to talk to them about. Could you explain to me how I was abusing the system? I was not going to talk to them and play dumb and get a replacement phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
If you are using insurance, they could care less about whether it is stock or not. Also, if you are not abusing the system, that is obviously not directed at you. I have not seen anything short of hardware problems that couldn't be fixed with a lot of searching and some work. There are lots of answers out there covering about every type of problem that you can imagine with the exception of hard bricks, hardware failures, etc.

Like I said, if you are not trying to exchange your phone because you flashed something and are too lazy to try and fix it, my comment was not directed at you. However, if that is what you are doing, there is an old saying "if the shoe fits"......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macman159:
After my second post, I finally fixed it. It was a damn pit file and that booted the ROM with factory test. Then I got that fixed and all is well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AJavaGuy:
Interestingly Verizon told be on the phone last night that they charge $199 USD if the software on the phone has been tampered with on an insurance exchange.

Granted if the phone is truly bricked it is unlikely that they can/will bother to tell.

I wounder if this is something new they started doing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GoLordNibbler:
I've looked through the forums for hours now and according to the noob video made by xda. I'm asking for help. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 with the CyanogenMod installed (as the title implies) and to be honest its not worth the hastle. I'm having problems left and right. First off, the camera app that comes with the phone is missing. Or if theres a custom one. Its not included. I'm aware that I can find and install an external apk but I'll get to the problem with that in a bit. I followed very detailed instructions on installing the cyanogenmod and gapps and everything was fine (stable version) but the notifications suggested I update the mod so I did. Now I have the camera but my play store will not work. It opens for a split second then closes. Also, the file manager is gone. So I downloaded multiple file managers and it seems after first use that they can no longer open anything. I can't even access the files. I checked the superuser allowed and disallowed apps and everything seems fine. Now with the apk problem. Almost any apk I download will not install on my phone. Sorry for the erratic problems just jumbled everywhere in this post but I'm using my phone to write this so its a bit difficult to organize. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. A link to a post already like this (which I couldn't find) or a link to a tutorial maybe or troubleshooting these problems. I will delete this post as soon as I find a solution so I don't use up space on the forums with a somewhat personal problem. Thanks in advance!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Go in application settings and delete your play store's data/cache. That should fix it.

Without it, it's kinda hard to install apps unless you sideload. If you do sideload, you need to allow it in your settings (security I believe).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
if you're using the stable version of CM

you might have to go to Date & Time setting

and fix the date on there in order to make play store works

and everything you say about camera, it is weird indeed because not only CM, every rom out there should include a camera app

if that problem still exists for you, you might want to clean/wipe everything, from cache to system and then flash the rom again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GoLordNibbler:
Thank you guys. I tried wiping the cache and it still didn't work. I don't mind side loading which is what I've been doing but its not ideal. I can only search for the exact app(s) I want rather than exploring via play store. Also, you guys didn't mention the problem with the file managers not working after first try. If you have any feedback it'd be great. I would like to keep the cyanogenmod but its just not worth the time and effort (opinion). If I can't fix the problem or find a solution I'll just go back to my phones stock UI because even though I think flashing ROMs is awesome. It really isn't worth frustrating myself with something that's an option and not a necessity. Thanks in advance for feedback.

Have you tried a factory reset?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
the file manager part is really weird.

if you clean install, especially the stable version, everything should works just fine

however, it sounds like bad install though

how about this this

Download Titanium Backup and wipe data + cache for file manager only and see if it works

if not, try the longer way

download stock att rom(4.1.1)

go to recovery, wipe everything

go to download mode

flash stock rom with odin

restart to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache

root the phone

Re-Download CM10 stable

go to recovery, wipe everything, including System

flash cm10

reboot and see if everything works
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GoLordNibbler:
Yeah I've tried a factory reset. It only deleted my user data not really resetting the phone. Thank you pcchano (sorry if I got name wrong) I'll try and erase everything and reinstall from scratch but its not my first time using custom ROMs so I'm sure I did it right but I'll give it a go. Also, someone told me that I need to completely wipe any data associated with Google wallet before I root or else play store will not work. Has anyone tried out this theory or know anything about it? It doesn't make sense to me seeing as wallet is saved server side beside the basic user data stored on the phone. But please let me know. You guys are all very helpful thanks for the feedback.

Also, I've never had to wipe dalvik before? Could that be my problem? I also noticed that when I updated cm the info panel said 'experimental' even though I chose the stable version to start with? Could some of these problems be associated with cm rather than blaming it on my phone? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

i have like 2 s3 using CM10 stable version and no problem with it (other than the play store wouldn't connect due to the date in setting wasn't correct) while I myself am using CM10.1 and other than the bugs that come with CM10.1 or google source code, it is a functional rom

so i would rather say, it is your phone

and you should always wipe dalvik cache along with cache partition before flashing new rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GoLordNibbler:
OK pcshano thanks very much. I'll just erase everything and start from scratch. Thanks everyone who helped me. This forum and you people are awesome. I'll delete this post as soon as I reinstall the ROM to make sure it worked. Thanks again!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
The stable cm is of the 10 variety. The experimental builds are 10.1 if I'm not mistaken. In which case you should only need to flash the appropriate gapps package to get the play store functioning and camera as well. The file manager issue I don't know beyond the external sd card being a bit sketchy on 4.2 builds. Are you using an external sd card? Start with a fresh flash of 10.1 if you want to go with that, flash a 4.2 gapps zip and see what happens from there.

it depends on area coverage, some place when you are in area have H+. H+ have somewhat faster data transfer.

If its okay I'd love suggestions to max out battery life.

Or the best efficiency to balance battery life and performance prioritizing on battery life. (at least no lags on UI)
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Don't make your OOM settings that aggressive if you want battery life. When you have the OOM set to the most aggressive setting, the phone will use more CPU power and thus battery power in order to clean the RAM. Another problem with OOM settings that aggressive is that applications you use frequently and multitask with will be terminated and when you open them the phone has to open them from scratch all over again, wasting much more power than if the program was still cached in the RAM.
