[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aport:
When i bought this phone, battery life was horrible.Then i rooted my phone and installed SetCPU and discovered that my phone was running in performance mode which meant that processor was using both cores at 1000 mhz non stop - even in standby.Then i installed a custom rom and GoldenKernel and started using pegasus governour with 1000 mhz max cpu clock and 200 mhz min.Since then, my battery can last up tu 24 hours with medium usage (WiFi or 3G always on, Auto Sync, high brightness, 2-3 hours of screen time).I currently have about 20% of battery and i unplugged 14 hours ago, but i streamed a whole HD episode of GoT ( 1 hour of heavy cpu/internet usage, 1.3 GB file).

If your phone is rooted, try Greenify. It will hibernate apps during sleep to save battery usage. Get more info on their xda forum.

Are there any cards on the market for the XDA II that have SD/MMC memory and wireless functionality in the same card ? I think I heard about it somewhere on here but I can't remember the name of the manufacturer, or if they are even available yet.

This is what happened to me.

I was running Jellytime Rom very well on my DHD. Now i wanted to use another Rom (SVHD sense).

I WIPED DATA, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, etc.

BUT..... I FORGOT TO DO NANDROID BACKUP. :crying:

After i flashed SVHD Rom, i rebooted. But i was seein my old Rom's boot animation and nothing after that.

So i rebooted into recovery again and NOW DID THE NANDROID BACKUP, WHICH I FORGOT.

Please help me what to do now. Is my phone bricked ?? If yes, please help me to unbrick it :(

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Xperianeovuser:
Xda-developer nobodyAtall has managed to do what no one else has done so far, booting a 3.0.8 kernel onto a 2011 Sony Xperia device. He posted a picture showing the 3.0.8 kernel booted on the Xperia mini. The latest official 2011 Sony Xperia kernel is version number 2.6.32.

nobodyAtall (nAa) says that apart from the fact that it boots, few other things are working right now. The kernel does appear to be stable and the drivers are now being ported one-by-one. The first device that will have this kernel is the Xperia mini, although there is no ETA on when it will be released.

The kernel is the piece of software that sits between the hardware and Android system. The advantage of sporting an updated kernel is new features and optimisations. The news gives hope that at some point it may appear on other 2011 Xperia devices, giving them a new lease of life.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N7mofo:
Well, I was streaming the net about the flaws windows-os, ios and compared it to chrome-os and android-os and why we use it.

Its customizable and almost every content we have on android/ nexus 7 can be gotten from the net or the play store.

windows have a lot of bloatware, the older the computer is the slower it gets also because of file cluttering from the prievious leftover files used from other software, i was told ios didnt have that problem. I was just wondering about a few things about android and chrome-os.

If chrome-os or android os have to deal with the same problem that i had with my previous desktops.

here are my questions.

1. Does Chrome-os/ Android-Os keep left over files from uninstalled apps?

I had that problem remedied on windows with Revo uninstaller although i did sometimes messed up with the drivers.

Does restore factory settings delete all those things? (for confirmation)

*For people who rooted their N7, how much bloat ware did you deleted? 32gb N7 has 27gb free space out of the box, that makes 5gb less storage from the start.

2. i have a habit of connecting my nexus 7 to my desktop and i sometimes wonder about viruses. i have antivirus installed and i am still skeptical if it even do anything worthwhile. Anyone here can tell if those apps (ex. avast) ever worked?

3. Is there any disadvantage on using apps that update frequently (file cluttering: question 1), as most of my apps needs frequent updates.

or does updating files also delete some parts from it, to consume less space?

4. Would anyone really recommend chrome-os (chrome book) vs ios, windows?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
You really don't need to worry about any of that!

1. Things are removed from the /data partition but apps sometimes leave things on the sd card (you can see those folders like normal). A factory reset wipes data but not the things on your sd. It is normal to have less than the advertised storage, plus some is dedicated to certain things.

2. I don't worry about antivirus on Android. If anything, it wastes resources and creates a false sense of security. The best antivirus is common sense when surfing the web and downloading apps.

3. There's nothing to worry about with app updates. The app only gets bigger if the update makes it bigger.

4. Are you comparing desktop OSes? I think you mean OSx then. It's highly dependant on what your needs/wants are.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N7mofo:
I can be a little adventurous on experimenting on my n7, so I do take risks on downloads at times

on OS, I'm not sure but I was thinking of getting a chrome book when then time comes. I was comparing Is based on my experience. I'm used to using Windows on desktop and laptop, I like the feel of android so I won't mind using chromebook if the concept is the same.

thanks!
[Xoom General] perchrh:
Had some trouble finding this out myself, so I'm posting here to help others later.

There is a good guide on The cyanogenmod wiki for building CM-10.1 for the Xoom, but it has an error that stops you completely.

The step "Extract proprietary blobs" fails because there is no such file extract-files.sh for Stingray (nor Wingray/Everest). This is what you do instead:

(before running 'brunch stingray' or wingray)

croot

git clone git://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_broadcom.git -b cm-10.1 vendors/broadcom

git clone git://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_nvidia.git -b cm-10.1 vendors/nvidia

git clone git://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola.git -b cm-10.1 vendors/motorola

Then continue as normal, following the mentioned guide. Otherwise your output ROM zip-file will be lacking required proprietary blobs, drivers and such.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowpoke:
As my forum post would suggest, I have a tf300t, and I've found it to be increasingly slow lately.

I'm terrified of attempting a root only to brick my tablet as I have no previous experience, and am

poor af right now so I'd rather not take the chance.

Expanding on what I'm really wondering -- If I take the chance to root my tablet, will it essentially

open my eyes to a world completely unknown? Is it like a beer I'd want to freeze in the winter

and skate around on, then when spring comes, melt and drink it?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyovue:
Unless you have the money to repair it, like maybe send it back to asus or buy a new mainboard for it, then go for it, but if not, DONT DO IT, lol. You might encounter problems and will spend countless hours reading **** that wont help. Just stay stock while its stable for now. Rooting will get you free apps, and oc gpu+cpu, thats about the main reason for rooting. Just do a factory reset if you have alota files and stuff.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
You could always use motochopper, so you can root your tf300 and not have to unlock the bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGSIIIUser:
The few rooting apps that are really useful for me are Ad blocking apps, GMD gesture control, maybe GMD speed time when I feel like cheating on a game, Greenify, and Titanium Backup. They to look around the playstore and see if you have any apps that require root that you want. If you find some enough for you to root, then go for it. No need to root the device just for the heck of it. I think motochopper as mentioned above is a really good idea for only rooting without dealing with too much trouble. You shouldn't brick you device if you followed all the directions.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsaur:
Honestly it's kind of hard to brick your tablet while rooting, unless of course you do exactly what the big bold red print says not to do.

Rooting and unlocking is definitely worth the work, make sure you thoroughly read the stickies and posts before actually attempting anything. After you get through it all you then can flash roms like HYDRO or CROMI which are among the smoothest roms. But like I said read over everything learn about adb and flashboot, which bootloader is required for each recovery, and for the love of god make backups. :laugh:

Trust me at first it's a lot to get but it's so worth it :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (SGH-I727 / AT&T) that I cannot get to connect to a PC after weeks of trying. I have tried to read through hundreds of threads regarding this issue and it seems others have had similar issues but nothing quite like this.

When I connect my phone to a PC, it does charge but Windows XP or Windows 7 will not recognize the phone. Anytime it is connected an error pops up stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."

So to clarify, I have tried the following suggestions from others to troubleshoot and try to narrow down the issue:

1.) I have tried 4 separate USB cables, including the original OEM Samsung brand data cable that came with the phone.

2.) I have tried 3 separate PC's (2 with Windows 7, 1 with Windows XP).

3.) I have installed Samsung Kies on all 3 PCs, uninstalled and reinstalled the program as well as the Samsung Drivers on multiple occasions.

4.) I have done a factory/data reset on the phone twice to see if this was an issue caused by other apps I've downloaded in the past.

5.) I have tried to use USB Debugging/Developer option and then connect the phone to no avail.

6.) I have tried USB Mass Storage option before connecting the phone.

7.) I have tried to connect the phone to a PC in Samsung's default recovery mode and still showed it was not a recognizable device.

8.) I have tried a friend's galaxy S3 on all cables and PC's mentioned above and Kies immediately recognizes her phone.

9.) I have attempted to clean the physical microusb port with a small brush to make sure the contacts were clean and not being blocked by something.

10.)I have done a battery pull and about 20+ phone resets for all above mentioned attempts.

Based on all of these attempts without any success, it seems to me that this being a PHONE hardware issue is highly probable. I've ruled out just about every other scenario and I'm wondering at this point if my phone's Micro USB port is fried somehow.

Has anyone heard of this or is this a reasonable possibility?

I have tried just about everything I can so far, if anyone has any other suggestions or has any information that may confirm my suspicion, please let me know.

This all came about in the past week due to Jelly Bean being finally released by AT&T / Samsung for the Skyrocket and unfortunately, this update only seems to be available via Kies and a direct data cable to a PC. I have tried to go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check for Updates (while connected to Wifi with a full battery) and the phone has told me 3 times over the past 3 days that my current Ice Cream Sandwich v4.0.4 Android is the most current software up to date. I'm guessing they're not planning on releasing Jelly Bean to the Skyrocket via OTA air updates....so now I'm stuck.
