I can't get MMS to ever send over wifi.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
I am on T-Mo too, I have had that problem more than a few times, and each time, I had to call T-Mo to renew my network connection.

You best call on another phone, as they will take you out of the network and re-insert you to it again. You will have to remove the battery, wait a few, and then reboot. After that It works!!

One time I had to clean out the cache and data of my mms client and the native mms app and it worked (fine ever since)

Good Luck and Aloha! ;)

Hello, today randomly my note 2 (SGH-i317M) randomly disconnected from the network. I have factory reset as well as completely reflashing a stock ROM on my phone. I am and was completely stock without a root. Can anyone suggest any way to fix this? Also the problem may be my SIM card, I currently cannot verify if my SIM card works as I don't have another phone to check with.

Go to Settings/ About phone/ Baseband version. If unknown then u need to flash a modem.

And is ur IMEI # still correct ? Look under Status in the About phone.

Went from the stock ICS on my cousins phone and updated him to the stock JB through Kies, and now on boot it just gets stuck on the 4g screen.

Also, when I do power+volume+ button it says "E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)" and E:Can't mount /efs/log/boot_cause and Can't open /efs/log/boot_cause

I've tried all of these methods and am having the same issues. I'm very close to just bricking it and calling it a wash. Is there anything at all I can do that will allow me to restore the missing info need for the phone to boot properly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
Could you flash FL24 (restore, NOT nodata) then get the OTA update? I didn't have any luck with flashing GB27.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
As graydiggy mentioned try the One-click FULL RESTORE/RESET. Make sure you follow the directions from here. Also run the One-click 'as adminstrator' on your PC too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snake-ize:
Ok I had the same problem and found a solution! First to get off that bootloop go to rwilco.com and download fl22 and use odin to install it which is ICS, root your phone with the agat 0.6.8 then you go to the play store and download busybox free and gs2 repair. Run busybox do a smart install then open gs2 repair and on the second tab do the 1st and 2nd options only, restart your phone now you can upgrade to jellybean.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quotis:
Recently I am trying rooting Nexus 7 using my Galaxy Nexus via OTG. I downloaded fastboot for ARM, but it recognized no device. I realized that why it failed may be that on my nexus phone there was no fastboot driver.

( I executed "fastboot reboot" on a HTC phone, and it worked. It seems fastboot driver is embedded into every HTC phone.)

So... does anyone here have successfully done such thing?

----- More questions -----

When talking about "Android USB driver", what does it mean? Does it mean fastboot driver? If not, what is the difference between that and fastboot driver.

Are SPL and bootloader the same thing? Or does SPL contain bootloader function? Someone says SPL is like BIOS/UEFI and bootloader is the same as that on PC. But on the net, I find everyone are talking about them as if they are the same.

Hi guys,

I find myself, yet again, having to explain to users how linux and android manages ram.

Most users seem to think that more free ram is better. They couldn't be more wrong.

This article explains the concept in layman's terms so nobody should be confused or left doubting.

So there we go, I'll refer to this article and I hope you all do too if you see stupid remarks here in the forum regarding free ram.

Have fun reading :)

Linux memory consumption concept

Linux memory consumption concept is all about efficiency. The system’s RAM is a resource that is meant to be used; 100% of it (if possible), all the time (if possible).

Linux utilizes unused RAM to cache data and filesystem meta-data from slower storage devices (Flash or disk) because fetching the information from the RAM is much quicker: There are no bottlenecks such as slow physical media, slow buses or device clocks, and not decompression is required.

Assuming there are no memory leaks, the reason that memory report tools report low amount of free memory is because the RAM is considered to be wasted if it isn’t used. This concept may require some time to digest, because conventional thinking may lead to the conclusion that an efficient system is a system with a lot of free memory. This is not entirely correct. In Linux case, the kernel tries to utilize the most of the RAM to improve the system performance. Keeping the cache means that if the kernel or a task needs the same data again, there’s a good chance it will still be in the fast cache in memory.
[XPERIA X8 General] pilu1978:
Conclusion: less free ram = more cached process/application = better multitasking. ;)

Some heavyweight app need lot of free memory, but in the daily usage better if you NOT use s*perch*rger or any similar script to get more free ram.

A typical bug with systems what have lot of free ram: when a call arrive, you need to wait several seconds to see the caller name, because the contacts app killed to get more free ram, and need to reload the app, open the contacts database, etc... :)
[XPERIA X8 General] yair25:
i have a lot of free ram and still doesn't have any problem with call delay or any other problem, I don't even use any ram script or any other script ,so in my rom I can enjoy when I use heavyweight app's or when I use a daily APPs
[XPERIA X8 General] Fortun:
All this information is an overkill for the original discussion and it actually misses the most important point. Here's why.

The number reported by most users as free RAM is not free at all. When most users refer to the amount of free ram in a particular ROM, they're refering to the number reported in Running Apps. That memory is not free memory. And that's the most important point.

You don't read guys reporting the amount of free RAM memory while executing the free command in terminal.
[XPERIA X8 General] CtrlAltDelIrl:
It's true that the "running apps" doesn't report the true amount of free ram..
[XPERIA X8 General] Mockingbird:
Terminal Emulator - type su then type free . I think that is the true amount of ram.

Sent from my Nexus 7 while being Paranoid :).
[XPERIA X8 General] CtrlAltDelIrl:
Yeah that's right to a certain point since android grabs as much ram as it can.. Doesn't mean the remaining ram is all that's free though..

Memory management

Since Android devices are usually battery-powered, Android is designed to manage memory (RAM) to keep power consumption at a minimum, in contrast to desktop operating systems which generally assume they are connected to unlimited mains electricity. When an Android app is no longer in use, the system will automatically suspend it in memory - while the app is still technically "open," suspended apps consume no resources (e.g. battery power or processing power) and sit idly in the background until needed again. This has the dual benefit of increasing the general responsiveness of Android devices, since apps don't need to be closed and reopened from scratch each time, but also ensuring background apps don't waste power needlessly.

Android manages the apps stored in memory automatically: when memory is low, the system will begin killing apps and processes that have been inactive for a while, in reverse order since they were last used (i.e. oldest first). This process is designed to be invisible to the user, such that users do not need to manage memory or the killing of apps themselves.] However, confusion over Android memory management has resulted in third-party task killers becoming popular on the Google Play store; these third-party task killers are generally regarded as doing more harm than good.

Certenly you explain the subject very good. It is my first time to understood. Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 General] Fortun:
Certainly you didn't care enough about the subject before. Otherwise you would have found the same information in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#Memory_management .

What steps should i now take. Please provide links if possible to help.

First you posted in the wrong section, questions go in Q&A Help and Truobleshooting section.

You cannot flash an ICS kernel to a JB rom OS.your going to have to do a one click non rooted restore to FL24 in order to get up and running so you can update to GB27. Go here and follow directions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2211891

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 6E 65 76 69 6E:
Now that I had a look into the test build of the Jelly Bean for Xperia P, I thought of sharing my views on it. I'll include a couple of screenshots of the new features as well. (See the attachment)

This is a test build so, No comments to :

1. Is it smooth or is it lagging?

2. How is the battery life?

This is a quick review of the updated stuff in the ROM. If you want to know anything more, please ask. I think I didn't miss anything though.

Camera

I don't know why DoomLord said the camera seems to have changed because I didn't see any changes at all. It's just the same as it is on ICS.

Media Apps

The Media apps (Album, Movies, Walkman) have been updated to the latest versions. In the Album app you get an option to add tags to the photos (See the SS). In the Walkman app you'll get more options to tweak the sound like, Surround sound, ClearAudio+, Clearsterero, ClearPhase, xLoud and Dynamic normalizer.

BE

It's just the BE not BE2 and I failed to enable it. (Guess it's the unlocked bootloader)

Power Management

It also has changes. Now we have more options like Stamina mode, Low battery mode and location based WiFi. (See the SS for more deatils on these features)

Themes/Lock Screen

We've a new theme chooser. (See the SS) The lock screen is also new. I think it's the Xperia Z stuff. As you might have guessed, we cannot have notifications on the losk screen anymore.

Launcher, Status bar and notification panel, Misc

The launcher is the same. (the one with the options to add 7 home screens).

The status bar remains the same but now with the option to display the battery percentage or not.

The notification panel has been changed to te latest from Sony (Same as of Xperia T JB). Now we can have quick toggles for WiFi, Bluetooth, Sound, Data and there's a shortcut to the settings menu.

Contacts, Messaging apps are also updated. (See the SS)

Google Now :(

The first thing I tried to figure out was Google now; tried the home button, searched the lock screen etc but it seems it's not there! May be Sony is still to add it or they abandoned it! Anyway I couldn't find it anywhere!

Conlusion.

Apart from the missing Google now, it's quite a nice package I should say.
