Hi, I'm wondering if there's anything to look for in phone specs to tell which phones are most sensitive to picking up signal. I used to have an old non-smart mobile that would pick up much more signal where I am than my current smart phone. Considering signal strength in my area it's one of the major factors I'm considering for my next buy.
[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
Consumer reviews is really it, modern cell phones fall under strict standards for an allowable level of radiation or a SAR value, its most likely that your non smart phone was manufactured or the design accepted by the FCC before those measure were put into place. Signal repeaters can be of help, however if your in an area like me where you are exactly centered between three of your providers towers but have physical obstructions such as tall trees, or buildings, or power lines. And the city you live in has a tower height restriction( yes that exists, the town I live in has a tower height limit of just 35 feet! To keep the towers from becoming an "isore" ) a cellular repeater would work in my case as the homes and trees are definitely short of 35 feet, but in order for it to work for me I would have to install a mini tower in my back yard to get my repeaters receiving antenna high enough to get a clear shot at the tower. So for me, well into the thousands of dollars, I just use WiFi calling. Also some carriers offer an indoor booster you connect to your internet or cable, however with most if not all newer phones being capable of WiFi calling they don't usually offer them for free any more if at all. T-Mobile is one that no longer offers them but continues to tell people they are "out of stock" and don't know when they will be getting more.

EDIT: the only other suggestion I can make is to try to find a Motorola you like, while I have been vastly unimpressed with Motorola's android experience, on the radio quality side of thing they usually have a more solid and stable design because they have been at it much longer then most, however with telephony support being more software then hardware now days, its still a crapshoot.

My wife and I have a Galaxy Siii (gsm) and Galaxy Siii (Sprint). I have installed a 32 GB microsd card to both phones.Both phones are running stock KitKat (4.4.2). Both are rooted and have SDFix installed. Both suffer the same issue. When I set the camera to store to extsdcard, any photos taken are deleted following a reboot. This is true on both phones. This also happens prior to executing SDFix. It's important that I be able to store photos/videos to extsdcard since the internal memory is sure to fill soon. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hello, I'm new here and I don't know how to reach the 10 post limit to permit me to write in the Imperium rom s3 thread... I will even write 10 post here...
[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
Is this a known issue with kitkat? If not what does sdfix do? If it claims to make a larger SD card work, delete it! The manufacturers max SD card size is not actually a max on the supported size but rather a max size for the phone being able to optimize read/write cache for the sdcard. I have never had an issue with inserting a larger than "max" supported size SD card aside from a little longer read time when opening items on the card to view them. If sdfix is supposed to fix this issue, it is most likely deleting photos because you do not have enough available cache space to actually cache the entire card so a thumbnail for your recent photos never gets loaded into the cache leaving you with a photo that was not able to be permanently saved because it never made it to the cache in the first place.

problems in recovery

Gud day.. im a newbie in all of this.. but im trying and i need help

ive done rooting my phone LU6200 and now im going to have costum rom but i encountered a problem.

when im trying to backup my stock rom.. with CWM recovery by ROM mngr. and TWRP.i got a notice in booting

secure booting error

cause: boot certification verify

ive followed every step in costuming rom

TIA.. more powers
[General Questions and Answers] flroots:
The issue I raised occurs with and without SDFix. The reason I mentioned SDFix is that it's a patch for V4.4 that allows apps to write to the extsdcard. It has nothing to do with the size of the extsdcard. My issue is that photos get deleted after a reboot when setting the camera to save to extsdcard. It happens on both phones.
[General Questions and Answers] lostintranslation13:
ok im sorry im just trying to get this put befprey browser app cuts off again. Anytime i try to post or find anything relevant to my situation the app cuts out. And this happens on my phone or ipod. The debug console i am speaking of is on my phone, ipod, and computer. Basically anything myself or my daughter have logged into facebook on. This all started when my galaxy s3 was stolen with all my emails, facebook, ebay accounts etc. There are hiddem bootstrap files, sdk files, eclipse files, and duplicate wodgets on my phone that have permissioms tp everything on my phone. When i view the net from phone or computer all sites are http and not https. I get warnings pn every page that the security certificates amd not valid and that they ensire the identity of a remote computer. The sites are all called html documents and they are all handled by a php session. It also says the info is coming from a cloudfrount.
[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
OK, so its a kitkat issue. Are your devices rooted?
[General Questions and Answers] flroots:
Yes, as mentioned both phones are rooted. Basically I want to know if others have experienced this problem and if so, what if any solutions they've found.
[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
After a few searches it is a known issue not just with your device, but rather the security permissions in kitkat, if the SD fix is not working for you I would try the first method in this article http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...=JwSimx1LRPOo0Iv8lo-aDA&bvm=bv.73612305,d.aWw and manually edit the permissions file, if you are uncomfortable with this you can try going half and half.

Half and half instructions.

1.Download ES FILE EXPLORER.

2.grant it root permissions.

3.Change system mount settings to read/write in ES FILE EXPLORER.

4. REBOOT

5. UNINSTALL sdfix

6.REBOOT

7. reinstall sdfix

8.grant root permissions and run the tool

9.REBOOT and test

10. If successful remount system as read only

This method will have a 50/50 chance of working.

Busy box should be installed on every device that is rooted for proper operation of root apps.

Someone could give me the systemUI.apk of the GNG1 S3 9300 Rom please?

I have got 3minit battery on my rom but it's orrible...
[General Questions and Answers] flroots:
Thanks for the reply. Actually SDFix is working fine. I tested it and it works as advertised. For example, I can now copy files from internal memory to extsdcard (using rooted ES File Explorer) which I was not able to do prior to running SDFix. My problem is the same prior to and after executing SDFix. As mentioned, when I set the camera to store photos on the extsdcard, they get saved, but then disappear after a reboot. The only reason I even mention SDFix is to establish that it's not related to the issue since the problem occurs before and after installing it.
[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
Is it a third party camera app or built in? Third party will require you to manually edit the permissions file as found in the previously posted link, if its built in you should not need to do this, but none the less that may be your only solution.

The further we come with data security on android, the further we will have to go to retain the normal functions we are used to.
[General Questions and Answers] flroots:
I'm using the built-in camera app. Under settings you can select either Device or Memory card so it's designed to save either place. Let me repeat one thing. When set to the Memory card, the photos get saved to the extsdcard (which I verify). However, once I reboot they disappear!

[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
What tool did you use to root with? The reason I ask is because when another developer and I cracked the T999L Open months before its release ( T-Mobile messed up and sold me mine three months before its release! SCORE!!!) we found that the motochopper exploit worked since this processor was in the same family as the Motorola devices it was made for in the first place. The only issue I have had is that the alarm icon remains in my notification bar weather or not I have an active alarm. And on occasion it will disappear and then reappear. We never were able to find what was causing this but believe it may be a side effect of the exploit used to gain root or a part of Samsung's flash counter. I would recommend flashing back a stock image and rooting with a different tool if one is available. See if your out come is the same. Other than that try some of the other methods mentioned in the link I provided earlier and see if you get different results.
[General Questions and Answers] flroots:
Thanks. I recently bot both of the phones used. One came with 4.4.2 installed and I upgraded the other from 4.0.4. One is gsm and the other is Sprint so the stock ROMs are different, but they behave the same in this regard. This pretty much tells me that it's not some non-official ROM causing the problem. As far as rooting goes I've used two different procedures:

1. Use of CF-Auto-Root as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1963790

2. Flashing the SuperSu zip file by Chainfire via TWRP

Re: Model Number SM-G355H

Have you found a solution in rooting the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Dou and our phone's spec is the same? I've been looking for all over the net but i found nothing. Please Review this androidbiit site. It was stated in this site, "I forgot to say that soon you will be able to root Core 2 DUOS SM-G355H on Android 4.4.2 G355HXXU0ANG1". Since this is a new phone, I think methods in rooting this device is yet to be developed. Does this mean we have to upgrade the firmware version?

[General Questions and Answers] Lord AJ:
So first of all, change all your passwords if u already haven't. If you're unable to do that, contact the website help and support. Then try clearing the data / factory resetting your phone. This will erase everything that's there on the phone so make sure u backup your contacts and messages and other important stuff. If this is happening only when you're visiting a particular site like fb, then try reinstalling your browser. If u even have the slightest feeling that your data has been compromised, report it to the fb authorities. Also download an antivirus and run a thorough scan. This is very probably the doing of a malware that has crept into your system and from there to your phone. I'd recommend avast as its free and highly reliable. Try this first before u reset your phone as this may be the solution you require. Hope these help. Report the outcome if they don't.

Hi, I had installed SuperNexus ROM for my I9300 about 3 days back and have some issues for which I need some clarifications. I had posted my concerns in a couple of threads but have not received any response yet. Hope somebody can guide me to where I can get solution to my issues.

1. The volume level on the phone is very low. How can I increase it? I had better volume with CM11 installation. The help in forums about changing mixer file doesn't work as there is no such file. Tried some volume booster apps too but no help.

2. Google now voice hangs at times and doesn't respond to"OK Google" command. Back button on the phone doesn't end the program. Only pressing home button ends it.

3. Preferred network type has only 3G or 2G. A 2G+3G option will be very useful as 3G coverage is not ubiquitous.

4. Get error message when downloading apps from play store. I get the errors as shown in image. This goes away the second time I download the same app. This happens with 80% of apps.

GT-I8190 very unusual battery issues

Greetings, this is my first time posting here, but that's irrelevant right now.

So my mom has a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190 which started acting up about a month ago.

The device simply reports it is charging while there is no charger connected at all. In the Android environment, and when powered off it shows the charging prompt.

Now when restarting the device, the battery level jumps down at least 20%, and even while fully charging it and restarting it, it simply doesn't wipe the battery usage stats at all.

(Note, in this image I was attempting to do a battery calibration, so I was charging it on purpose)

The only quick fix is to power it off, pull the battery out, and after 30 seconds of waiting power it back on.

Now recently we bought a counterfeit battery off eBay (don't sweat your bunch, I myself used a counterfeit battery on my previous phone, a GT-I9001 without any issues), and the issue still persists.

In the last few weeks I have tried the following things:

-I flashed CM11, forgot which version but I flashed it through Odin because the stock recovery refused to flash a CWM or TWRP

-Flashed the stock Samsung ROM again after I noticed the problem was still happening and because my mom really didn't like 4.4

-I charged the thing until it reported it was 100%, then used a battery calibration tool to delete the batterystats file, and then rebooted the system, which surprisingly caused the battery level to jump down to 92% while it was plugged in while rebooting. (the device was rooted using Kingo Root in this attempt)

I'm not sure anymore what else to try, if somebody can give some suggestions that'd be great.

Right now my mom is saving up money for some other matters, and even a Moto E seems to be too expensive for her.

Help with Zooper and Tasker

Greetings,

I am a huge fan of "Zooper Widget" but I am still new at the more complex stuff like advanced parameters. I recently got "Tasker" and an idea just popped in my head. I want to display text from an app trough "Tasker" for example "Brilliant Quotes" and be able to modify it on "Zooper widgets".

It is very complex but here's the break down, I'm looking for a way to have quotes from the app "Brilliant Quotes" displayed on a zooper widget and hopefully rotate the quotes just as it does in the "Brilliant Quotes" widget.

Now I know you must be wondering why on earth would I kill myself trying to do this, well I want to push the limits and try to develop a skin for my phone. If anyone has any ideas how I can do this I would be very grateful.
