[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MirageX_:
As the title says, I'm experiencing a lot of lag with Impossible Game on stock rom XXEMC2, odexed, rooted, with syiah kernel.

Strange thing is that when I dual boot on Slim Bean or Paranoid Android i don't have this problem and the game runs very smoothly. STweaks settings and DPI settings (speaking 'bout PA) are exactly the same. And I don't have this problem on other games (like for example: temple run2, GTA, NOVA and so on) which I thought were "heavier". Also when i boot on stock rom and open the games without waiting 2-3 sec as usual it just runs fine, but if i close and reopen it, it lags.

I've tried everything (almost), like overlocking my GPU (which I know doesn't help so much on 2D games), removing live wallpapers, closing all the processes with a task killer before opening the game, but I've achieved nothing so far, game still lags.

Any of you experiencing the same issue?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
Try a full wipe and reinstall?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MirageX_:
ALready did, in fact i reflashed stock XXEMC to recover from a soft brick about 2 or 3 times. It used to lag even with stock settings, I only rooted my phone and removed some bloatware, then installed the game and it started to lag
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Try MC3 .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MirageX_:
It's not a fix, I don't wanna to lose all settings and tweaks to have the same issue. BTW it runs smoothly on GB 2.3.6 with an HTC Wildfire S and on ICS 4.0.4 with a Galaxy Ace GT5830, so that's definetly not the problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Maybe you can try to turn on rendering 2d with hardware? It's in developers settings. Or you can also stick with custom rom, usually there are a bunch of tweaks for performance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MirageX_:
Already tried, nothing changed :)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdgreat4:
Hi. I have a 64gb sdxc sandisk sd card. I want to format it to fat32. I've read on the net that you can do it only if you have an sd card reader. Unfortunately I don't own and sd card reader. Is there any way I can format the sd card directly while connecting the tab to the computer without the help of any sd card reader?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
Yes I did it this way.

You'll need the app SGS3 Easy UMS (available here at xda)

and the PC program guiformat.

The first one is needed so that the PC can see the external SD Card as a mass storage unit (and not as a Media Transfer Protocol). In this way you can format the external SD Card through your PC.

The PC Program did the formatting of the external SdCard to fat32 ok for me. Probably there are other PC programs that can do fine the same.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Tyler44346:
Hi guys, to all of you who have updated your phone, what was the process? What did the Phone say? Last night, i kept trying, and I got the message, "Connection failed caused by authentication error."

So i went to my Settings > Applications > All > com.lge.omadmclient > Force Stop > Clear Data

Then, Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check For Update

I kept repeating those steps, until eventually, it started saying "Communication in progress." I let the phone sit all night last night, hoping when i woke, i'd get a notification of a software update. So, Today, after I didnt get a notification, i went to my settings, and checked for a update, now its giving me "Communication in progress." My Wi-Fi In/Out Data lights are flashing like crazy, (As it did last night) but its been 30 minutes, and still no notification.

What should i do next? Does this mean that my phone is downloading the update? How long should it take? What are some of the signs of the update?

Thanks, I'm anxious to get the update!

EDIT:

I forgot to let yall know my phone's software.

Also, does anyone have a download link for the latest LGNPST? I can try to update the phone to the 11c software using LGNPST, then update to 20j using OTA. Has anyone done this? Did it work?

LGNPST method does work.You have to go to IRC to get LGNPST. First post in this thread explains how to do this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2013067

If you are rooted and have unlocked bootloader you can just flash stock JB ROM posted in this thread. Make sure you flash ROM and new radio posted there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2067871

If you are completely stock and not rooted, you can call ATT and ask them to push an update. Several people here suggested this worked for them.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdock:
I don't know exactly what the "communication in progress" toast message means, but it does not necessarily mean it's downloading the update in the background (it may just be doing a background check). I saw it a couple dozen times while checking for updates that never downloaded. If you're rooted, look in /cache/fota and if you see a file called dlpkgfile and it is growing, then it is downloading the update. If you see one there that is about 18 megs in size and it's from 3/31 or 4/1 or so, it's the 11c download but it didn't actually manage to use it, and I was not able to find a way to actually have it installed, though it should be doable (/sbin/lge_fota seems to be a key there but all it did when I ran it was reboot my phone after a few seconds, so obviously it needed something else).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Tyler44346:
I've contacted ATT several times, they told me that it isn't possible to push an update, that they can only reset the sim network, and hope the phone will update. I'll try the LGNPST. Thank you!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdock:
Many of us have done this this past week. I chatted with them twice yesterday and neither time did they give me any hassle about pushing the 11c update. In fact the second guy spent about an hour and a half trying to get the update pushed (turned out it was my fault it wasn't working). It's possible not all the reps know about it.

For more info on the LGNPST process check out the thread in one of these forums about running it on windows 8. I have windows 7 but it had enough detail to get me through it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Tyler44346:
I updated my phone to the 11c update through LGNPST, then I updated it OTA to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It works like a charm. So for all of you guys stuck at "Connection failed caused by authentication error." Just use LGNPST. If you dont know how, PM me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bassitone:
I have a pretty dumb question re: this process, if you don't mind.

Can I just use the same version of LGNPST that worked for the failsafe restore to stock 10o, or do I need a new version of it from somewhere?

I used this version, open up your LGNPST, and see what version it is. I would do it with the one above. Just in case.

hi guys, I'm having issues with my GSM Galaxy nexus, when I try to make a call there's no sound from earpiece, i cant hear anything but the person on the other end hears me just fine, I've tried battery pull, factory reset, plugging in headphones, speakerphone etc... i also tried some apps to force the sounds through the earpiece when calling.

The speakers work when watching youtube or any other app and I think the earpiece is not broken because I can hear perfectly when using voip apps like groove ip or spare phone. so is it a software issue or should i get the earpiece fixed?, I cant get a replacement phone tho cuz i got my phone off Craigslist

[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Hi all,

Last week I was at home pondering around as I do, when I heard a text come in.

I went to my phone and literally (no exaggeration) could not pick it up.

It was so hot, I had to touch it through my jumper. I unlocked it asap to see if anything was going on.

Low and behold, Facebook was looping into an error. Errors - Closes - Opens - Errors - Closes etc.

Is this something to worry about? Can apps actually cause that much heat?

Phone still functions fine afaik.

I turned it off, and put it in the fridge!! YES THE FRIDGE

I can't explain how hot it was to touch.

Is this specific to facebook?

Is it the error, loop or app that caused it? AND WHY DIDNT MY PHONE STOP WHEN IT WAS OVERHEATING?!?!

Thanks !!
[HTC One X] blinkash:
Can you tell the details? The Rom, kernel you are using?
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Totally Stock - Never unlocked never rooted never rommed nothing.

Facebook has received an update since this happened.

But I'm still at odd's as to why my HOX's over-heating safety never kicked in and shut the phone off.

It's like it was trying to melt itself !!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You have something nasty with heat problems these days Mr W ! But yeah the phones security system was supposed to do its job ! Hardware problem that's out in the open now because of a software problem !
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
I do Hoffman :D - Nah I'm sorry, Mr.Hofs is better.

But do you think Facebook is to blame? Or the phone for not dealing with it?

And

Should I now be worried about locking my device with an app open? (NEVER LEAVING FACEBOOK OPEN ANYWAY!)

PS - What do you mean "Hardware problem that's out in the open now because of a software problem !" Mr.Hofs?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Well maybe the phone suffered already of this "fault" but it comes now out to the open because your facebook app caused all that trouble !

I can't tell if its a 100% hardware fault or a 100% software fault. I think its a bit of both because the should have shut itself down !

Btw i read a while back that a newer software update caused the phone to overheat a bit while it was on usb charging. That was fixed by updating the windows drivers. If im not mistaken it was hamdir who came with that.

Otherwise a factory reset might do the trick, if it occurs another time.
[HTC One X] treebill:
Cpu will go right up to 99c before it shutdowns.....

Throttles at 85c
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
I don't think it was that hot.. but surely if a phone reached that temp the plastic would melt?

Plastic melts at around 110 Degrees C ? Isn't 99 cutting it fine?

I hope its not hardware, as I'm sure warranty ran out last month... GUTTER.

I'ma find out when Warranty finishes, when thats the case I'ma custom ROM it, see what performance I can get out of it !!

But I'm still at odd's with this.

It never even gets hot for me, but that error-loop was just bonkers haha ! (May factory reset if it occurs again though !!)
[HTC One X] treebill:
well the CPU max temp is 99c meaning you could (in theory) run the chip at 98 c, though it would be throttled but it would be fine however the heat you are feeling is actually the battery heating up, the battery really shouldn't go above 55c, 60c is about it's limit. At 48c the battery reports as overheating and wont charge till it's 47c or below.

I believe gsam battery monitor has alarms you can set to warn you what the battery hits X c (you can set it), its a pretty good app for showing stats about your phone should defo try it out :P
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Hey, I tried GSAM once and the layout of the app just threw me, didn't like it at all and the terms it uses to explain the data you're looking at isn't good IMO.

I have BBS ad WLD and think that will do for me :) - Thanks for the advice though.

I'ma keep an eye out and see what happens, I've felt it getting hot in my pocket once or twice, but unlocking the phone, and locking it again seems to make the heat die down. I need to find what may be causing this heat, may not have been the Facebook app alone, but that error was like tipping petrol onto the already burning fire.
[HTC One X] treebill:
*burns* lol

any app that will show you apps/wake_locks will do. Something is keeping the phone awake making it use the CPU.

if you're rooted you could try underclocking the CPU to 1.3 GHz, undervolting or just simply disabling 2 cores.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
All good advice my friend, but 1 I'm not rooted yet, waiting for warranty to finish. (Silly I know, but never had luck with HTC)

2 - I don't want to under-volt/under-clock.

I've been monitoring and MAPS is my biggest Wakelock.

Disabled the Location settings this morning.

That not the cause of the heat though, I just have a feeling its not.

Thats the only time its really felt dangerously hot to me though !!

PS - Thanks for your replies everyone, much appreciated.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah well i was just thinking out loud, heat problems are not my expertise ! :)

I hope you get it sorted !
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Cheers bud ! :)

Will update if any progress.
[HTC One X] treebill:
Yeah maps have always made my phone hot, using navigation with gps if you have it on charge will pop up "using more power than being supplied".

If you don't use maps I suggest disabling it.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Problem is I rely on GMAPS and Naivgation, will disabling location services make any difference to me using Sat Nav etc?

If it does, I need it on as SatNav is my saviour.
[HTC One X] treebill:
its the "GPS satellites" coupled with data transfer and high CPU usage that makes it over heat everyone has this issues im afraid they only real way I've found to stop it from overheating is to disable 2 cores.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Ahh so I'll still be fine using Navigation then?

Weeeee :)
[HTC One X] treebill:
Should be, you should try using an offline map (google navigation can save areas of maps) that way you can use just satellites without mobile network.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Thats the thing though.

I've NEVER seen a point in offline maps...

Like, if your using navigation your going to be somewhere you aren't sure of the locations and routes etc.

So you'd have to follow your route on the map, before you go? Saving each part of the route for offline.

Then, when you want to go somewhere else, same process.

What is the point in offline maps? :D
[HTC One X] treebill:
Yeah lol be better if you could save the whole map just like a sat nav :( sure there is an app for that lol
