[Galaxy S III Accessories] otterboxfan4l:
I have the obex , I absolutely hate worst case I ever owened people can hear you when your usimg the phone , the people on the other line sound muffled , only way to use the phone call option is turning speaker phone on.. but I don't know about you all but don't want everyone to know what I'm talking about

Also when phone in this case as well the back button takes forever to get it to respond and you almost have to force the button down , the built screen protector is ten times worse then the otterbox defender its sensitivity sucks

Would I recommend this case to anyone ? HECK NO !!!

If I could get my money back would I send it back? HECK YES !!!

IM WAITING for the otterbox armor case that looks way better and not a rushed product like the obex was.... they rushed there product to beat otterbox and lifeproof to the sales floor .. thus its a big piece of junk

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] .Arkham:
Since I noticed this behaviour last night, I've been obsessively watching various apps start and stop on their own. On the App Manager's "Running" tab, I keep seeing several apps start and stop on their own, despite the fact that I've turned off any network-related syncing or listening options in their individual settings.

Also, there seem to be far too many apps in the Cached Processes screen, most of them I haven't run at all for a long time.

Is this behaviour normal? (Android's, not my obsessing...)

I'm worried that something else is going on in the background and killing my battery. Or worse, scanning my system. (Though I did run an antivirus without any problems being detected.)

Thx.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
I recently asked a similar question regarding lowering background processes allowed. Whether background and cached apps affect battery. I learned it is a trade off between using more battery to restart or pull from cache. I opted to do a heavy debloat and freeze certain apps or processes I don't need. I also use cool tools to watch my memory and CPU info and battery monitor widget pro to monitor mA and CPU temp. I enjoy trying to max out efficiency. I didn't see my post anymore in the last few pages but if its further back the guys linked me to some great info about processes. Sorry for not linking thread. I will when I get a chance. Hope it helps you too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] .Arkham:
Thanks! I'll take a look in your post history to see if I can find it.

I'm less concerned with whether or not the apps are actually running or cached, what worries me is that they all seem to be constantly starting and stopping for a few seconds. Watching the Running apps screen I can see many different apps cycling over and over. The process starts, goes on a few seconds, then stops. Then another one pops up. Then another, etc etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
I looked back about a dozen pages and couldn't find it anymore but I think it was diablo009 that gave me links to some really helpful stuff he had written. I'm not super proficient in maneuvering the forums but maybe you can find his posts with that info another way. Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Not sure if it loads my signature when posting from phone. But if it does, check Android Memory Management link in my signature.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] .Arkham:
(This is the one I found.)

I'm aware of that RAM usage with Android from similar articles I read last year, but it was really the automatic starting and stopping of processes/services that bugged me. I think it might just be a situation where if the app's on your phone there's nothing you can do about it if you've granted network access permissions. I probably naively assumed that if you granted those permissions where would be settings to disable network access within the apps. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Some of my observations:

An app prefetched into memory does not use CPU.

A prefetched app could be wiped from memory if more RAM is needed. After the memory intensive app quits, this could be loaded back.

If an app is used frequently, it would be one of the prime candidates to be considered for prefetching.

An app loaded (not prefetched) uses CPU based on its work, like it could be a daemon looking for updates.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] .Arkham:
The last one is what I am worried about. There are apps that are starting processes and then stopping repeatedly. A couple dozen different ones, including ones I have barely ever used. I've looked at some of those apps' settings and disabled any notifications or update checking, basically anything network related, but they keep showing up in my running apps/processes list throughout the day.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Not sure how Google market checks for app updates. It could be querying installed apps at regular intervals to check for their versions to compare to versions in market.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] .Arkham:
That's one thing I wondered about, but I have Google Play updates off. I guess it's possible that it still checks, though.

Thx for the reminder! I'm going to double-check my Play settings just in case something was reset during an update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
You could try something like Rom toolbox pro to stop startup programs if you use them infrequently. I have had a few issue stopping certain apps but a little tweaking and it works well. Juice Defender also has the option for disabling apps from accessing data/wifi or neither. I don't know about the process though. Thanks for spotting your name Diablo and helping out. Great info on the topics.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
I agree that if you don't use it, uninstall if you are able. Otherwise just disable it. This is unusual though. I randomly go into cached processes and only the things I use or that the system needs are there. On a rare basis something additional might pop up.

For this you should know the basics of creating the Android apps and some basic of the launguage.

You will also have to setupp the android enviornment in you pc/lap.

watch some youtube videos and learn the basic and then try to have some resources and then start to create your own app.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
you cant just watch a tutorial that will tell you how to build specific apps like that

You need to learn some java, and how to use IDE's like eclipse. Watch general tutorials that teach you this.

Then using that general knowledge apply it to building your own specific apps.

Hi, yesterday I fixed my brother's bricked Sony Xperia Mini. Amazingly, today my Motorola RAZR i has done the same thing :( .

The RAZR i section is full of bricks, no one seems to have solved that yet. Since I fixed a Sony phone yesterday in an identical situation, I'm sure there's a way around, but I will need to understand how to trigger fastboot drivers.

For the Sony phone yesterday, I did a mix of trying official repair via programs (flasher included) and using private flasher, though I'm not totally sure what triggered the fastboot driver mode. At some point, the new blue LED became active. I'm trying to do the same on the RAZR i. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers etc. but no dice yet.

Any tips?

Hi fellows, I updated to 4.1.2 last saturday, and I think the antena handling was efficient in 4.1.1, since every time I grab the phone, it loses at least two bars of signal. Could the update change something about the antena or radio? This situation is pissing me off
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroiraida:
IMO, the positioning of the antenna at the bottom is rather odd, since that is the place where we always put our hands on when we hold the phone.

Idk if software update can affect the radio signal retrieval. More of a hardware factor than software I think. :)

if there is an apk named browser.apk and an odex file named browser.odex

if i do is modify the zip and rename the .odex to classess.dex and placing it on .apk will this be eodexing?

if so would this work on my cherry mobile titan tv/karbonn a30 ics MTK6577?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheDeadEnd:
No Deodexing is something else.... If you wanna deodex then

1.) Download XUltimate (google it)

2.) Switch on USB Debugging Mode and connect phone to pc! (Dont switch on USB Transfer)

3.) Now Select pull and deodex all folders! (if this option is not there then something similar to this will be there)

4.) After deodexing all apks the place where you installed xUltimate there will appear to folder done_app and done_framework.. (Something similar... This depends on the version of xUltimate)

5.) Rename the folders to app and framework and then copy to sdcard after activating usb mode

6.) Push the folders into system folder va Root Browser! (I hope you have rooted your mobile)

7.) Reboot! You are done

*NOTE: If you get an error while deodexing delete the .odex of which it is giving error and then select deodex both folder!

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] deathnotice01:
odex is a file which makes the system load apps faster,

so you cannot modify a system app without editing the odex file,

it's like a browser with cache,

deodexing would cause the system to load each time you access a system app,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadcarver1971:
Hello all,

I'm planning to go back to 4.1.x (AOKP milestone 1) since the WiFi tethering on 4.2.x is broken.

I still have the AOKP flashable zips and gapps. Do I just simply copy the ROM and GAPPs to the root of my SDCARD (when mounted via USB on my PC) and start flashing away when in recovery mode?

I now the 4.2.x has a different file structure compared to thd 4.1.x so I'm hoping that the contents of the SDcard root (seen via the PC when connected to the USB) will not be deleted when I flash back to 4.1.x.

Is my understanding of flashing back to an older ROM correct?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
WiFi tethering isnt broken on 4.2. Maybe it is on the ROM you are using but it has worked fine for me on CM 10.1 and Carbon ROM. But if you want to go back, I cant say for sure what will happen to your files since I have never downgraded. I assume your personal files on your "SD Card" will be safe and will be there after downgrading though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadcarver1971:
I tried Bigxie's deoxed, tried Android Revolution HD 10.x, and Rootbox's 4.2.2 nightly including both official releases with the same result where WiFi tethering doesn't work. In my case, the client that is trying to connect will connect, IP is assigned but it won't be able to access the internet.

As of yesterday, I also tried Muzzy's ROM with the same result. I'm hearing that 4.2.2 changed how the tether flag is set, and gives the carrier more control over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Hmm. I'm not sure. I am on Verizon. I dont know if another carrier would cause problems with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadcarver1971:
Thanks for the repsonses JS. I'm still googling away to find out any more fixes. Worse comes to worse, I may just rever to 4.1.x.

Thanks, I will look into rasbean 4.2.2.

I'm beginning to think this may have been set/limited by my carrier recently.

I was looking at that ROM too. Looks like I'll be busy tonight and will do some ROM flashing.
