Try using a different battery or calibrate the fuel gauge. Search the forum about it, these kind of threads pop up every other day.

Hey dudes, yeah i tried a new battery and the fuel gauge chip already but it still happens :( i also bought betterbatterystats but it doesn't work on the ROM I'm using (jellybam 6.3)

I had same issues in my case it was ext sdcard. After changing sdcard everything is fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mik3469:
I am having the same issue! Galaxy S2 canadian international version (I9100M) with VirginMobile. I upgraded to stock JellyBean after flashing CM9 to stock ICS in order to upgrade from stock ICS to stock JellyBean via Kies.

When it happends, I can't wake the phone. The battery gets hot. I need to remove the battery in order to reboot. Also, it seems that my device is in a constant reboot cycle. Everytime I power it down it reboots, same goes when I remove the battery and put it back in, no need to touch the power button that the device is already booting. I went from about 70% down to 15%!

I can't post pictures now (seems that I need 10 message to do that).

I tried to remove my external 32gb SDCard. Will report if it changes anything!

I noticed my battery appears to have swollen slightly on both sides.

This is a very random thought - what if one something we've flashed (leaked ROM, bad kernel, ?) allowed the battery to be overcharged and has damaged it, or the battery controller permanently? Hence why we're all having problems.

Today my phone wouldn't finish turning on without the charger plugged in, despite saying it had ~25% battery life, it would turn off just after or just before entering the SIMcard unlock PIN.

Im also having this same problem with my battery, and I bought a new battery today but it still showed the ridiculous remaining times and even shut down on me again even tho this is a new battery, i changed to JB 4.1.2 when this started happening and i tried reflashing it with official JB through Kies but the problem is still there so it has to be something with the JB firmware itself but what exactly is causing it i dont know.

A lil help with solving this will be greatly appreciated cause it is getting frustrating having a battery at 100% but the time on the battery status shows only (2 - what ever random weird time it has) minutes remaining until it shuts down.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] CarbonX13:
Hi folks,

Quick couple of questions regarding updating my Xperia V. I've never used PC Companion before (used FlashTool and OTA updates on my Arc), so I'm not entirely sure of the process with updating my device through the PC Companion software. Will I need to backup my data before the update (will it wipe my contacts, SMS, etc.)? Also, my device was purchased in Taiwan and I never received the original Jelly Bean update for the V (9.1.A.0.490), and today I got the notification for an upgrade to 9.1.A.0.492. What is the difference between the two firmware updates?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] skb6T9:
Don't update your Mobile through pc companion if u have an unlocked bootloader. Otherwise it is a very easy process to update a device with pc companion.

& u should backup your data. Sometimes it wipes the user data sometimes it doesn't.

& these updates mainly features stability & some other updates.

Press thanks if I helped. ;)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
What i said still stands. All ftfs are in that thread. If it is not in that thread then it is not available as no one has posted it on XDA.

You will have to request someone with that firmware to make the ftf and upload it. I will then link it to the all in one thread.

I asked the guy to share the .492 ftf (look above) :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
OK, My mistake, however, it sounds like he has not upgraded yet. He was enquiring about the difference before he upgraded.

I dont think anyone has shared that ftf yet...it would be great if they did....

So I just recently flashed my phone with the kernel vengeance 1.32 and when I go to the menu, some apps are missing like xperia gallery smart start, etc. also, when I want to add widgets, the photo album one is gone and a few others.

Is there a way to fix this?

I just flashed my LT18i with the same kernel and i had no problems. Did you use the one exactly for your device? since there are a lot with the code names one might get confused.

Please do not repost questions across multiple forums.

Which kernels or ROM is best is very subjective, it depends on how you use your phone and what you're looking for. Your best bet is to research the difference between them and test them out to see which works the best for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PureLife90:
I'm currently running cm10.1

My question is... is there any application on the play store that allows me to have a password on my wifi ap? I know wifi tether works but I need a password. My neighbors keeps connecting to it when I have it on. They completely eat my data... LOL in one hour they used 3 gig
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sticky78:
in tethering settings there should be an option to set a passkey.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PureLife90:
Yes there is but then my device won't connect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sticky78:
what teathering app are you using? try the treve mod apk. it's in the synergy rom but available elsewhere on xda.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
If you don't mind touchwiz, CleanROM has unlocked native wifi tether with WPA encryption, I don't think trevE's app has encryption, at least it didn't last time I tried using it, or maybe I'm just an idiot and couldn't figure it out Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
DarthStalker has built in tether working with password...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PureLife90:
What rom does he have?

Edit * just kidding that is the rom. That's not android 4.2. I'm looking for help for a 4.2 rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jessicahll:
I use the trevE Mod on my S3 and have it set with a password AND I have to approve any device connecting.

It's in Settings, then check Enable WiFi encryption. You can even change the passphrase. Then scroll down a bit more and check Enable Access control.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
Google has very silently pushed a new app to all android devices. Its called Google settings. Now I love android but this shouldnt be allowed it does not seem to do harm but lets let the devs see
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
They didn't do a good job with it since it's obviously in the app drawer for all to see :rolleyes:

The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Asadullah:
You can disable it by unchecking all of the read write execute in es file explorer. Or if you find an older version of the android market that is compatible with our phones. And the worse thing is it's not in the market at all it's just there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
I Personally think forcing a phone to silently install an app is wrong. Had it been a usual update that would have been smarter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
It lets you control all the google settings from one place. I for one think that's smart. Who cares if it's in your app drawer, hide it if you don't like it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
What version Google Play adds this? I haven't received it yet. I'm 100% stock and unrooted. My issue now is all of a sudden I am receiving double notifications from all my apps except gmail.

Edit. Never mind I have the app now just checked. Now if the double notifications would stop.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ronniemayo:
This might explain it a little better

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...tings-icon-its-just-google-play-services-3-0/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
The app doesn't do anything else other existing apps were not already doing. It simply aggregates all the Google settings into one cohesive place (although I feel that the 'account sync' area is better suited for this). It doesn't require any special permissions that are not already used by other Google apps.

If you do not want it either hide it like others have said or simply unlink your Google account from the device seeing that the only thing the app does is put the settings in one place and creates a platform to be able to give you MORE control over what other apps can access as far as Play Services functionality is concerned. This app is very welcomed.

Also if you are against them updating stuff without your consent, root and remove the play store -- that updates automatically as well. You're using a device that uses Google Apps as it's back end, this is expected.

Read the link ronnie posted to alleviate your concern.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
Yeah but it shows how much proprietary we really don't have anymore..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
So when your Google Play app updates on it's own, that's wrong too? If it's a problem, go buy a Crapple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
See the play store is fine. when that updates, i get a notification of new terms and conditions, as well as it only happens with new OS releases or when i open the actual app. not radomly while im on the john or asleep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Wasn't really a secret, they have been promoting for awhile now and there have been a few articles pre and post. It just compiles settings for their apps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Asadullah:
It's a shame how many people are hating on this thread instead of seeing it for what it is. Anyways i made an app that fixes this issue in the app section and in the general I put the old og market that won't update by it's own.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
It's a shame how few people actually freaked out about it as opposed to the many people that really don't care.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Did you actually read the terms you agree to every update? Because section 3 - Updates of the Play Store ToC state:

Emphasis mine. Also, ignoring all that, what difference does it make if it asks you to agree? Your point was that you didn't want apps to update themselves. The play store does that, ergo it was a valid comparison.

As a matter of fact I would be more paranoid about the play store because those updates usually have new functionality. All this does is literally link you to setting screens that were already on your device and adds an area to give YOU more control cover what third party apps can access.

Looking at the dissection of the app on the link provided shows exactly what the app does. Which, by the way, the Play Services has been doing this ever since the play store launched with Android 2.2 and above (Source - Automatic Updates).

So my original advice stands, if you do not want this to continue, delete the Play Store.

TL;DR:

Play store agreement allows and makes it clear that automatic updates will happen.

App doesn't add new permissions, it links to existing menus.

This has been happening since Android 2.2 and it's nothing new.

Only way to stop it is to delete the Play Store.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
Yes you are correct that updates from a already installed app that you chose.. I don't like the fact I didn't have the choice to choose that this got installed without me knowing . You don't know Wtf this app is ..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Well, you didn't really choose Google Play. It's preinstalled on your phone when you buy it. The fact that the "Settings" app was pushed to the phone automatically, and is only used to change settings for Google Apps, there's really not an alarm for concern. You actually agreed to it when you bought the phone and accepted the terms when setting it up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Glad to see this thread. I was visiting someone yesterday and messing with their gnex (I maintain it for her, in a sense) and saw this green Google settings and started freaking out cuz it was unknown where it came from, and I could not find it in either /data/app or /system/app and therefore could not remove. Also, about the same time, the email app would no longer login or sync, saying invalid password. I though it possibly related, thought Google setting was something malicious. Now I know it's legit :good:

Thanks

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
EXACTLY! Thank you!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
I agreed to apps being installed on my phone without my knowledge???? I

Don't think so.. preapps already installed or the crap bloatware that's comes with the phone I remove is something I'm fully aware of, but if you think its fine by all means join the anti privacy bandwagon..

It shows how our phones are being controlled by Google puppeteers in an open source market
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
From my understanding it isn't even an app..it's just linking to settings>accounts> google
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
If you used the play store you did agree to it. I quoted the ToC on my post in this thread (above your previous post).

I reiterate. This has been happening since the play store has launched to upgrade the play service. It's nothing new and you all agreed to it, just because you didn't read the ToC doesn't mean they do not apply.

If you don't like it simply unlink your Google account. The solution is simple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
That's your solution?? Not everyone wears the toc so maybe a courtesy reminder they are installing a new app on your phone would be nice.. you're not getting my point anyways
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
Don't worry I corrected your opening question up there. It is closer to what it is. A convenient plug in.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
That IS the solution. Also this has been happening since the play services were live. They do not need to remind you of anything as long as its for play functionality.

Once again, just because people don't read the ToC does not mean they don't apply. The solution is simple, you just don't like it. You agreed with something and are now you don't any longer. The only way out is by disabling the Google account on your device.

I get your point and even suggested a resolution. You just don't want to see this has already been happening for years and its something you gave consent to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
Funny, working at a call center you would be surprised how many people will tell you that no one reads the T's & c's. Then they cry when you point out what they agreed to.

Honestly, the T's & c's would still be ignored even if you put them in a 40 point font scrolling marquee.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I really don't see the big deal with this. Seems to make things easier...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Asadullah:
You know it's really f#cked up that you have a group of people that on a day to day hack their phones and violate their terms of service with sprint, google, and whoever trolling on a guy that is obviously upset because google installed an app on his phone that does who knows what. That's hypocrisy at it's finest. Have any of you used dex2jar to decompile it? I only took peek at the android manifest and it's asking for permission for some things that it just doesn't need. This app does more than you think. When I bought this phone I bought it off craigslist real cheap. I didn't sign any agreement with sprint google or even the sales man. I didn't sign into anything because I knew I was gonna be updating my firmware after I flashed it. As soon as I turned on wifi guess what happened apps started to automatically update. There was no choice in the matter. I'm not gonna b.s and say I didn't accept googles tos but if I didn't what then? How do I uninstall the google apps? If you can show me a way to uninstall the google apps from my phone without root or hacking I'll buy you the htc one when it hits shelves.

The point is this google came out like the open source knight in shining open source armor now it's just another company trying to control you and see how far they can get. When you originally agreed to the tos you had no idea what they were gonna do you just wanted an app and they took advantage of that and you. Were sneaky about installing the app and lied about it. The bad part is your defending them which is exactly what they want.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
All my contacts ,all my email gone that's your solution? I've never got some rogue app installed without my knowledge before you have? This minimum wage call center dude saying this a plugin? Well I understand why you work at a call center.. Its an app with a Silent install that's my gripe and really its a marketing app to revive g+.. every single app has an update.. Google play could of easily put a new update and what's included . Pretty simple.. *end rant*

---------- Post added at 04:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 AM ----------

exactly and now that Google is trying to get in the os world as well? I heard of desktops going away soon and all your private data gets " stored in a Google db". Were losing our privacy and yall couldn't give 2 pennies to where this could lead . Keep being gullible...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] husker91:
LOL, real mature hating on that guy's job, ignorance at it's finest.

Apps wouldn't install unless there was a google account linked to the phone, so obviously either the previous guy didn't remove his google account, or as soon as you turned your wifi on, you singed in. And when you sign in you are asked to accept a license agreement.

Do you guys rant every time the Play Store updates as well? :confused: lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
He knows all about everything cause he works at a call center place. It wasn't even about the TOS .. It wasn't even what I was talking about so maybe you should read (scroll up) as well. He put out where he worked so that's all his doings not mine.. holy crap you trolls get on the bandwagon fast..
