[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ovreel:
I've been getting pretty bad battery life on my GS3 lately. I'm not sure if it's because of the ROM, widgets, kernel, or what.

I'm running the LiquidSmooth Rom on a 4.2.2 version of Android with the stick Kernel of 3.0.66-cyanogenmod-g3e56399

Also running This custom Home Screen.

Here are some of the readouts of my battery life so far. Earlier today I had lost about 10% battery life after an hour or so, and that was only with 10 minutes of screen time.

I also have the brightness set to Auto or set to a low level manually. It's rarely higher than 30% brightness.

Album here in case the embedded images don't work.

Any ideas what I could do? Should I revert to stock and start over? I'm already using JuiceDefender Ultimate so I feel like my battery life should be MUCH better than it currently is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fadac:
I think that's the only way you're truly going to be able to tell. I'd try odining back to stock to get everything back in order then going to CleanROM. It's been reported that it has the best battery life for all GS3 ROMs.

If the problem still persists then yes it's your battery but I doubt it. With the n**rig of a setup you got going I'm willing to bet it's that.

Or on the contrary you could buy a brand new battery and try it out. Never hurts to have a spare battery around.

BTW, idk if it's just me but none of your imgs work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ovreel:
Thanks for the reply. I put a link to the imgur album since the embedded images didn't work, it's just some battery status. I'll try doing what you said and Odining back to stock, then going to CleanRom and seeing how that goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dag1337:
A lot of the AOSP roms and kernels drop down from 100% really quickly but then don't drop that much after that. So when I see you're at 85% or so after 3 hours, that doesn't really surprise me. I would be willing to bet it doesn't drop as much for the rest of the day. I've just noticed that with AOSP, even back when I was on the DINC and like Cyanogenmod 7.

I'm on AOSP (Paranoid Android) on my GSIII right now, I haven't done anything with my phone today other than a text message or two. It's been unplugged for several hours and it's at 93%. So the early battery drop is just normal on AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ovreel:
Very interesting, thanks for the info!

If anyone is interested I have a brand new XDA for sale that I won on the Source O2 developers website, It's the 64mb RAM version and is unlocked from any network. Everything is still sealed in the box. I've got the xda up for sale on ebay here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2757862457&category=14407&rd=1

There is no reserve so has a low starting price of £185 or a buy it now price of £225. I'm afraid I can only sell it in the UK though. Some guy just tried buying it and then backed out so only genuine buyers please.

Note for forum admin: if this post should not be here please delete. Just though i'd see if any of the XDA guys want a cheap buy.

Cheers

So about a month ago I ordered the glacier white commuter case from Amazon for my Note 2. Over the course of about a month I found that the USB port cover had been pushing up against my USB cable as it charged through the night and after a few weeks actually broke it. Luckily I have a few extras. Anyways I went on to email Otterbox customer service about this problem not looking for anything in return and seeing if anyone else was having the same issues. The following day I received a response from a rep saying no one else had contacted them about this issue and asked I email him 3 pictures of the case so that they could send me a free warranty replacement. Well after emailing back the images requested I received a phone call from the same rep. He asked me the usual questions of what was going on then had asked "why did I not try out the Defender case first"? To which I replied "the commuter was cheaper". I was then told that he would be sending me both a replacement commuter AND a free defender case as well. Talk about great customer service. Just thought I would give you guys a heads up about it. The cases themselves are okay. But consider me sold on Otterbox on the customer service they provide alone. :)

+1

Though their products for the note 2 are not as superb as some of their stuff for other phones, I always go with Otterbox because they are a great company.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eddie3130:
Very true. My belt clip on my defender case broke so i sent pics requesting a replacement clip an they just sent me a whole new defender case. Now i have a back up one in case of anything..

Great company

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bond32:
I see what you did there...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
I emailed them about a month ago about the screen protector issue. They asked for pictures but I haven't done anything yet. I was just looking to see if they actually fixed the problem yet. But maybe I'll be emailing them back shortly.

Btw. Does the defender case they sent you have the screen protector issue?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Shawheim:
my defender case had the issue with the screen protector where the cut out for the home button was off a little bit. needless to say i cut it a little bit with a razor blade and fixed it myself. maybe i will email them also.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] endo689:
I will find out later today when the cases arrive. After I give it a shot I will edit post for defender case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zhengw:
First, I agree that the otter cases are great. They make phones unbreakable. I had the galaxy nexus before and used with commuter case. After several months, when I took the cases off (because I drop it into water), I found the power button is hard to press without the case on it. It became "soft". Not sure if the water or the case damage causes it . Have you guys ever got this problem?

FYI, if it's not caused by the case. I'll in another one for my note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] endo689:
So I received both cases today. It doesn't appear that the defender case Otterbox sent me has the screen protector issue with the home button not lining up correctly. Although I can definitely tell that the screen protector is there. In terms of the space between the protector and the screen itself, it doesn't really seem to be a problem at all if anything I actually like it. The belt holster is a whole different story that thing is huge. Don't ever see myself using it all so I think I will modify mine by cutting the lip that clips on the phone and using it as a stand on my desk while it charges.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] PiskopatYazar:
who pays $60 for a case? I have got £2.50 and £4 case very happy with them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] endo689:
Point was I didn't pay for it, Otterbox sent me a replacement case of what I had AND a $60.00 case free of charge.

Help Please

My HTC one X+ recently underwent water damage. I took it to a cell phone repair store said it had no visible damage inside.

Bootloader works, Recovery works (TWRP), Boot animation works, everything seems to work.

The issue is that after it boots up it displays a black screen with the notification bar at the top.

I probably didn't give enough info, so don't hesitate to ask for more info.
[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
Hi Marshall,

Do you have any sort of previous ROM backup? Which ROM was on your phone at the time in went "underwater"?

If I was in your situation here is what I would try, if your phone is detected by Windows and you can access the storage naturally.

Reboot in Recovery

Make a backup of my actual ROM

Make a full wipe, (factory reset, system, Cache & Dalvik)

Flash any intend ROM

Flash boot.img & Erase Cache

Reboot

There are some chances that your phone could boot normally. :fingers-crossed:

Recovering deleted photos & video

Hello,

I accidently deleted some pictures and videos on my HTC One Plus X and was wondering if there was some way to recover them. I tried some third party software but none of them would recognize the phone when it was plugged into the computer (although the computer recognized the phone). I looked on the Google Apps store and there are two apps that will do it if it was installed prior to the deletion. So those won't help me. I would appreciate it if anyone could let me know if they have had any luck getting back the deleted pictures and video. Thanks and have a great day.

Jon
[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
Hi jeepdawg90,

It should have a way to, but I have nothing to share unfortunately. This phone is built with a data/media instead of an SD card and this means a totally different way to access the storage and all the usual arsenal of useful tools are ineffective to recover deleted files on this kind of partition. Let's wait to see if a developer can help you. One thing is certain, the less you are using your phone the more files can be restored IF it is possible. The closest I can help you, is by giving you this thread to read.
[HTC One X+] earprone:

Hi earprone,

First let me ask if you have a working SDK/ADB/HTC's Driver combinaison tools in perfect working order? If not this is the first step to do, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to recover a functional phone.

Please look in my signature and click to access a tutorial to do accordingly if your are on Windows based computer. Plug your phone on the charger during this time. Please don't hesitate to ask if something is unclear or your are not certain to perform, we are here to help! :)

[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
Hi earprone,

Which ROM you are planning to install on your phone? Also please do confirm that you have an International (ENRC2B) model.

As for your WiFi and DATA issues flashing the correspondent boot.img of your actual ROM could be the first solution to try.

Hi earprone,

Great, this is a good news.

Let's install your new recovery now.

Download this TWRP Recovery for the International version (ENRC2B) : HERE

Once downloaded to simplify the operation rename your file like this : TWRPrecovery.img

Take this TWRPrecovery.img file and Copy/Paste it in the platform-tool of your SDK folder.

TIP : Since your are in the platform-tool folder you can create a batch file to open a command window right from your Desktop.

Do this directly into the platform-tools folder.

Right click on an empty space and select Create New text document

In the new text paste this : c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

Save it with this name StartADB.bat (important to save it with .bat extension and overwrite the warning)

Now right click again on your new .bat file, and create a shortcut to your Desktop.

Now try to : adb devices your phone via your new Start ADB batch file directly form your Desktop shortcut with your phone plugged on your USB cable.

If you have a serial number as confimation you have done it right!

This a ONE TIME OPERATION TO DO, IT WILL WORK AS LONG AS THE SHORTCUT WILL BE ON YOUR DESKTOP.

Time to plug your phone on your USB cable if it is not already plugged.

Click on Start SDK, in the command window type at the prompt > adb devices (Enter)

Confirmation of the serial.

At the prompt type >adb reboot-bootloader (Enter)

The phone will reboot in bootloader mode.

Make sure the FASTBOOT USB is highlighted.

At the prompt type >fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img (Enter)

If Success is achieved, type again at the prompt >fastboot erase cache (Enter)

You now have TWRP Recovery installed.

Unplug your USB cable and hit Power button one time.

Select Recovery with your Volume rocker.

Hit Power button one time.

Your phone should reboot in Recovery

Familiarize yourself with it.

Click on BACKUP and perform a full backup of your actual ROM even if it is buggy.

Once done REBOOT System.

This is it, your are ready to flash the ROM of your choice. explanation in the next post. Please do confirm this was successful before continuing.

Mr. Lucky Thirteen

Mr. Lucky Thirteen

On the link you gave me (enrcb link) there are 2 files.. should i download both the md5sum and the openrecovery? i downloaded the openrecovery and proceeded to the next procedure, however when doing >fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img (Enter) on bootloader mode it says "TWRPrecovery.img 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." What does this mean? Thank you very much
[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
Hi earprone,

To start with MD5 simply read HERE

Did you rename the open recovery correctly?
[HTC One X+] earprone:
Thanks for the time again =)

yes i did it as you saId.. btw the file (TWRP) i downloaded was a zip file that cannot be extracted by winzip32. do i copy that thing to C:\AndroidSDK\Platform-tools or do i NEED find a program that can unzip it? I'll attach a picture so you can see =)

[HTC One X+] Synoptex:
Lucky Thirteen, you are always for TWRP Recovery and against CWM. I saw it in different threads. As I'm comming from HTC HD2 forum, CWM is soooo native and so close to me. And sure I flashed CWM. But now, after saw several people like you and Loir saying only TWRP... i'm in doubt.

Can you please point me to some info about the difference between CWM and TWRP? Why Loir is saying that CWM is a crap? For me, an average user who only flashes roms and does some wipes are there any difference?

For me, if I don't want to flash Roms, I want to stay on ViperX+ for a several month, can I live with CWM and reflash to TWRP only when I decide to change a rom? (I really hate flashing :)) What about CWM and battery charging... I mean if I ran a total 0 of battery, will I be able to charge my phone when it's switched off if I have CWM?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
Hi Synoptex,

You said :

I am against CWM for the ONE X+ only, not for every devices. CWM was not developed, tested and approved to work with this device simply because another project named Team Win Recovery Project was in the work. You can call this evolution. TWRP was written from ground up, to be customized, the interface is fully touch driven and it is theme-ing friendly. It was easier to have TWRP to work with the OneX+ then to rebuilt the CWM Recovery, so the latter was left aside. There is not much explanation than to say TWRP is a brand new custom Recovery for the Android market.

To each his own. If you prefer to stay with CWM no one can force you to change this. Be advised, that TWRP is fully working, so if your battery is totally empty, then simply plug your charger and let your phone charge. No worry to have about this issue. As for battery charging on the CWM I think it is OK too except to for the N/A Touch version but this is under reserved.
[HTC One X+] Synoptex:
Hello, Lucky Thirteen!

Thank's for an explanation. Now it's really easy for me to understand why. Never knew that about the TWRP. Evolution is good. But now I have one more question to you.

I have CWM non/touch version, heh. And I want to flash the TWRP recovery. So I just flash the new recovery and that's it? No need of any wipes and this won't affect my current rom or settings, right? I will use that all in one toolkit for flashing I think. That's easier for me.

I found in your post a link to openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-enrc2b.img the one from your topic: "HOX+ Tutorial for Unlocking, Rooting and installing a custom ROM [BEGINNER FRIENDLY ]".

And thank's again! You really help a lot to plenty of people!
[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
Hi Synoptex,

Yes it is that easy. It will not change anything to your actual ROM. Once you'll have flashed your new recovery, make two backups of your actual ROM :

One full backup (you can exclude the cache) and one backup with DATA only. You are done and safe. If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask!
