[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaron1006:
Before flaming me about searching the forums, trust me I've searched everywhere. I've tried the *#0011# thing, no change, tried setting a static IP, power saving mode is off, changing the router's channel, factory reset, flashing a new rom, changing the signal from mixed to g only, b only, n only, etc, etc. None of the suggested things have worked for me. Allow me to explain in a little more detail exactly what my problem is. So I just got my GS3 (Razr died and had to get phone without contract renewal) and while connected to my homes 2.4ghz network it goes superrr slow. I'm talking .25 mb/s download and the pages time out, even if I'm right next to the router with a full signal. Now here's where it gets weird... While connected to my 5 ghz band (dual band router) it works fine, getting around 13 mb/s. Now you're probably thinking why not just use the 5 ghz band and forget it? Well because in my room where I am the majority of the time, the 5 ghz band doesn't give off a strong enough signal and I constantly disconnect, and moving the router is unfortunately not an option.

The 2.4 ghz band works find on all of my other devices, iPad, PC, Xbox, PS3, etc. 0 problems whatsoever. I've even tried using my like 10 year old Linksys WRT54G router and it still resulted in the disturbingly slow speeds on the GS3 and find for all other devices. What's the catch? I still have unlimited data (lucky me), but where I live specifically has terrible 3g speeds and no 4g at all. Please help with any suggestions!

If you've wiped, switched roms and so forth with no difference and the other devices work, than I would say it's probably a hardware defect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaron1006:
I've read of many other people having the exact same problem as me throughout my extensive searching, but none ever came back to update their progress/status on the issue unfortunately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Unfortunately you might have to buy a network extender in order strengthen your signal. The downside is that some ROMs won't read the extender.

So since the update to jelly bean my phone and my battery life has diminished greatly.

After five hours of just being un plugged and not being used the battery life is now 30%. Also when I use the navigation while it is plugged in to my truck the phone does not seem to charge but says it is charging and in about an hour it is almost dead and I have to turn navigation off to allow the phone to charge back up . What can I do to help with this issue.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shayd93:
I flashed Cyanogenmod, turned out to be crap I came back to stock with horrible battery life, literally 3-4 Hours instead of 6-7 but I can't wipe battery stats since that option misteriously evaporated from CWM (Ah how good it is to make people's life harder)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
It's gone cause it does nothing, there are apps for it in the play store though.... If you have that battery life (either of the numbers you quoted) you are on your phone A LOT, lol. I suggest trying to clean install everything and (backing up first) and wiping everything on internal and external storage and maybe even odin. Don't call CM crap by the way, just down right rude.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shayd93:
I just wiped everything to go back to stock are even listening? No I'm not on my phone a lot and batteries don't go from 7 to 3 hours just like that, on iPhone maybe but not here. So it's the stats or there is still in my system from Cyano****mod
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Did you read what you just wrote lol, did you wipe system??? You actin crazy lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shayd93:
Everything, Cache, system, Dalvik, I don't have SD card (Exterenalsd) so When stock was finished loading I had nothing, not even pictures or music
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Don't take my advice, or take it. I have nothing else to offer. Hope someone else gives you something.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
You can delete batterystats.bin from here: /data/system.

Bad battery life is not a CM problem. It's a you problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shayd93:
Where is that Data folder
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
It's at /data/system. From root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shayd93:
The only Data Folder is in Android Folder but that had only Application info,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Need a file explorer that works with root. Default TW manager, "My Files", does not support this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Sounds like you're in root of the memory card.. You have to be in root of the main system
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shayd93:
What do you mean memory card. There is nothing else besides sdcard0 Which I'm guessing is the internal memory

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
No offense but if you can't even understand the difference between the root of the sd card and the root of the system then you probably shouldn't be playing with root at all.. I wouldn't be surprised if you're phone becomes nothing but a paperweight.. I'd stick to stock if I were you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: batterystats,bin

You need a file explorer/manager which has option for root access.

Once you install one you will be able to see the root /data/system folders

Then when you open that /data/system folder you can delete batterystats.bin

After you see the folders open the /data/system folder and be sure that

the file explorer you use has option to change the attributes of the folder

and files from R/O to R/W.

R/O means "read only" RW means you can "read and write" you need the

read/write attributes in order to delete any files or folders found on the

root directory of your phone.

I suggest using Root Explorer from the play store, in my experience I found

it to be the very best for doing just about anything which needs a file explorer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I used to swear by Root Explorer. Then I found Solid Explorer. Destroys it in every conceivable way. Try it, there's a 14 day trial. The developer also at least pretends like he cares about his users. The Root Explorer team just ignores you.

I've also heard the new ES File Explorer is very good. Plus it's free. Always hated it in the past solely because the UI was the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Yes, a terrible UI is more than enough to turn me away from an otherwise good app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lubotron:
If you're rooted, just download an app from the play store called "battery calibration". That deletes the battery stats.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] moto211:
Deleting battery stats is snake oil. If you wiped everything, you wiped battery stats too. It's not magically missing, it was removed from cwm for a reason.

Yes u need Linux for building from source. You can install in a virtual machine but I would highly recommend actually installing it on your PC in a dual boot or something.

This is Sense 5 Inverted Mod, it should work on NOS_M7_v1.0.6 ROM..I haven't try on other ones, but it might work as well on other Sense 5 roms...just make sure to save your actual Rom before flashing!!

I'm still working on a couple of little things...should be ready very soon!!! check the page regulary to keep updated;)

Hi guys.

Does anyone know where to buy a brand new XDA 1 in the UK? I've been down the normal ebay route and looked on the expansys website but think they are all a bit expensive!

Looking to pay around £170

Ta.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] XDA-II:
I ordered one off an internet phone shop a few days ago. £149 with a bluetooth headset, on O2 200.

They are awaiting stock, but just checked the site again and they have put the price upto £250!!. My order still says the same so fingers crossed thats what i get.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
First of all Hello to all of ya Nexus'ers , How are ya's?

As the title says ,i've just ordered my 16GB Nexus 4 and its on its way to my place XD Expecting it in 3-5 business days (According to Play Store)

And i must admit...i really cant wait...this is gonna be me first real Top-Notch smartphone (As you can see in my signature, my earlier models werent exactly gutsy).

I've always been a Xperia user so im pretty much used to how that phone worked (Rooting,Recovery,CWM etc) but judging by a few posts i've seen around the N4 is going to be a whole new diferent world me.

Any of ya's got any tips for me to use my phone efficiently and get the most out of it ? (Or avoid doing something for w/e reason?)

Yeah it sounds like quite a newbye question (Which i dont think i am) but sometimes very few small tips avoid future major issues or damage.

Thanks in advance chaps ,

Respect.

EDIT : Tips so far from all of the awesome N4 users around :

-Buy : Case + Protector

-Mod : Unlock BL + Root + Flash ROMs or Kernels.

-Possible Issues : Rear Glass is very sensible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerski1:
The nexus 4 is my 7th android phone. I rooted and rom'd every one of them until now. For me, it is just that rock solid. I may eventually root for the permissions. But I haven't been tempted to replace the ROM. My suggestion is to just enjoy the stock android goodness!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
First of all thanks for the tips!

Yeah i've been looking around and i could see that besides benchmark scores...the diference between the diferent ROMs around isnt significant ,mostly just styling. So yeah i am thinking of just keeping the stock ROM not only for the Warranty but also the fact that i've always been fighting to get a stock AOKP/AOSP feel in my Xperias...and here it just comes by default XD.

Btw,can this phone be rooted without unlocking the bootloader ? And also will Rooting void the Warranty?

What about Hardware stuff ? As in...something i should know about the phone casing or interior issues?

Respect
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You need to unlock bootloader to root.

More tips: this phone has a /sdcard partition. It won't get wiped when you factoy reset. It's a good thing to know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4r0v3r:
don't RMA for stupid reasons.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
[MENTION=345020]aba[/MENTION] Oh alright ,hmm thats making me think if i should unlock the bootloader or not.

[MENTION=3569991]m4r0v3r[/MENTION] No worries mate, unless there is a important and/or noticeable issues ,i'm not planning to RMA it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4r0v3r:
good stuff, I guess unlock, root, and flash another kernel on is the first thing to do, personally I prefer Matrixes kernel and trickster mod to tame the beast. Roms wise I've used Paranoid Android and CM10.1, really it was all for the PIE feature and I prefer the one on CM10.1. Your choice really, but that's the only reason am not on stock rom because that thing is pretty damn good.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
Like someone suggested, unlock and root, then play with stock for a while. It will be a similar to your past cm10.1 experience. But just see how it works for you. Then, go ahead and flash away.

I've had cm on mine for months, but then I had to flash the factory image to fix the storage issue and I've stayed with it for the last week.

No matter what, enjoy it!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Unlock the bootloader so if you decide to root or flash custom roms you can do so without fully wiping your device allowing you to back up your data before
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tunderpimp:
Get a case, and screen protector.

I like Cruzerlite. The back of the phone is glass. I would set up some cloud apps if you already haven't. Adrive and box gave me 50gb each. I stayed with stock for some time, but I didn't know what I was missing out on. I stayed stock for so long, because my last phone only had cm9.I wanted to feel jelly bean. I couldn't stand the bottom three buttons and pie control has taken care of that. I use razbeanjelly rom with Franco kernel. With the new kernel my battery life is so much longer.

Look up what your new phone can do and iPhone can't.

Have fun
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
I agree. Get a case to protect your investment and from accidental falls. So yeah you must be unlock in order to root the device.

And don't ask what rom or kernel is the best. Lol. :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immature:
Just want to give my experience - better to unlock as soon as you get it, I regret not doing that because I had to do a full wipe after using the phone for a few weeks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxictaru:
So I'm toying with the idea of getting a new phone. Currently using an SGS3 and I'm getting bored of it. I've gotten really used to using CM10.1, and have been wanting a more native experience that is akin to what I have on my N7. The problem is, on my SGS3 I'm having issues with various roms either not giving me good enough battery life, or there are stability issues (current ROM is actually experiencing both right now).

I've been toying with the idea of going entirely new, either HTC One or SGS4, but the downside to either is that the community for both are infantile, and I don't really want to wait. Both phones have some fantastic qualities, and either would be great. However, going back to what I originally said, I'm really liking the base Android feel, without any junk overlaid (TouchWiz or HTC Sense, though Sense 5 is kind of pretty).

I guess that leads in to a couple of questions. First, would anyone recommend NOT switching from SGS3 to an N4? Would I be prudent to wait for Google I/O before going with an N4 in case they release new hardware revisions? And finally, if given a choice between the 4 devices listed (SGS3, SGS4, HTC One or N4), what would be the pick? I know they have a laundry list of differences, but I'm thinking a more overall picture. The only phone listed that I haven't actually physically used is the SGS4 (for reasonably obvious reasons). I've been really leaning towards an N4, but are there any major downsides that I might want to know about? The biggest thing is whether or not I should go with the brand new or with something that is somewhat more established.

Sorry for the slight hijack.
