[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel644:
Kernels are specific to a device, like even if you have a US model and an International model they will commonly have different kernels even for that, from the manufacture as they upgrade the versions of android they typically move to the proper kernel fror that version of android. Then you have custom kernels where people have added different governors and CPU speeds (to allow overclocking).

Put as simply as possible a Kernel is what tells the OS (called a ROM) how to work with the hardware of the device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlarmSearcher:
Hello,

I am looking for an alarm app that will allow my to play an ordered playlist. I have found that numerous apps including Alarm Clock Plus, Alarm Clock Extreme, the default alarm clock, as well as many others are unable to pull this off. The ones that offer to play from a playlist automatically shuffle the songs.

My wake up playlist is:

1)Edvard Grieg's "Morning Mood.

2)Radiohead – “No Surprises”

3)Flight of the Valkyries

If you are familiar with these songs then you will know that it is basically a slow build up from a serene atmosphere to onw with lots of energy. The best idea I can come up with is setting 3 different alarms, however, this is time consuming and too complex logistically (I prefer steamlined utilities).

I look forward to your suggestions.

Thanks!

Hello people of the world,

Just have a question to ask. Is there any program or any way to have support for polyphonic or midi ringtone support for my Siemens Sx56 (XDA-1)? I have tried converting Midi to Wav with the lowest quality (8-bit, Mono, 11 Khz) and the file size for 10 sec is about 100 kb. The sound quality is good but I really don't want to convert everytime I want to put a new midi in my mobile phone. So, if there is a way out there, spit it out! Also, I have cooked a T-Mobile with the Polyphonic ringtone option. But I don't see anywhere how to enable the option? Need help on that too! :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
from what i've heard then if you have 2003 then you can use mid files
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Biso007:
By default, WM2003 doesn't support normal midi files unless it's of one track only, which I consider it very low quality for a device like the XDA.

By installing the MIDI56.CAB file that's part of MMS Composer, I find that WM2003 can support midi files ... it doesn't sound good as ring tones, and I prefer wav or wma instead.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] tariq_niazi:
Very Helpful ...

Thank You Biso007 for your help. I found the Midi56.sa.cab file from the XDA Forum and really it worked perfect. There is a little bit of change in sound of drums that sounds like some other instrument but everything else worked out fine. One question though, does anyone know how to enable or add the Midi file support when I want to assign a specific ringtone to a contact? When I go to assign a ringtone, there is only the .wav option, how can I bring the .midi option? Do I have to add Mime type or what? Any clues ... ? :?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Biso007:
I think this depends on the s/w design ... not something that you can modify

My note started doing this after it went through airport security. It was in a bag and went through the x-ray machine. It randomly reboots very often, probably between 20-60 second intervals. I was on CM10, then I flashed back to stock ICS, and then finally up to the official JB update. None of which has solved this problem.

Hey everyone,

Around 2 months ago my phone had the usb connected to the slot, it fell and the usb port got broken and i had to send it for repairment.

I just got my phone 1 month ago, looking good as new, but i didn't notice that the port was slightly loose, untill now it got so lose that it wouldn't recharge anymore so i decided to get an extended battery charger, the problem is i can't find the right one on amazon or any other website, because i keep finding the US, how do you call those thingies that go into the electricity slot? :D It's different than the one we use in EU.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could find for me a suitable charger which will work in Italy.

When the battery run out of juice, connected the charger again, but only to get a repeating sequence: short vibration alert, large picture of empty (gray) battery with the frozen loading ring for a second or two, then again blank screen. That sequence is repeating every 5 seconds when the charger is connected to the device.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _DDMM:
Just curious. I was charging my one on a iPad AC adapter just now(I was at about 85% battery) and it quoted 1 hour and 45 minutes. Same with the charging block I got with my old iPhone 4S. Thought to myself that it seemed a bit long so I switched to the charging "block" that came with my one and the charging time went from basically 2 hours to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Got me curious as to what everyone is using.

I was wondering, I'm about to buy a 6 foot charging cable from monoprice(I'll link to the cable below). Will that affect my charging time at all vs the cable that came in the box with the one? I'm fine with the one that came with the phone, it's just a bit too short for me.

When we flash kernels, is there a particular order we need to do it in. For example do I flash the rom, then flash the kernel? Or can we simply flash different kernels without reflashing roms? Also, do kernels have to be flashed by fastboot or can it be done through recovery?

Sorry if these have been answered elsewhere.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] youkosnake:
You can flash a kernel on top of a Rom without reflashing. If you install a new Rom you'll have to reflash the kernel you want as roms flash their own kernels. Most kernels you can flash through recovery

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeerSteak:
I noticed when I was looking at battery stats (trying to figure out what's eating the battery; very little in the way of apps installed)

I bought the phone last week, but I bought it used on eBay. It came with the original box and the manufacture date is 6/30/12, so I figure this was someone's everyday device for 10 months.

The reason I ask is that sudden dip from 20 to 30%. And the other reason I ask is that I only get about 10 hours with 3 hours of screen-on time on a full charge. If the battery is just losing capacity, that's fine - I'll get a ZeroLemon 2300maH battery and I should get much better life. If the battery still has close to full capacity, then I'll get an extended-capacity battery. I just need some guidance as to whether or not it's crapping out so I have a better idea of what to buy.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Jump is weird. Could be the battery is flaky. But I would make effort to reseat it. I want to see what BetterBatteryStats says about that terrible wakelocking, though.

You can delete batterystats.bin from /data/system. Everyone says it does nothing. But I do it anyway. Because I can.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
My stock battery usually gives me 7-8hrs of standby and 3hrs of screen time.

Zerolemon 2300mah gives me 20hrs of standby and usually 5hrs of screen time.

You can check in the accessories section in the zerolemon 2300mah that I've posted some of my results via screenshots.

About the dip, I'm not sure I've never noticed that on any of my batteries.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeerSteak:
Jump has been there consistently. Had the phone 4 days, and every day when it hits 30% it drops to 20%.

Installed Betterbatterystats and I'll see what's keeping it awake. It does seem to be awake an awful lot compared to my old Atrix (switched to T-Mobile a month or so ago, and just got the phone after I was switched for a bit), which got way better battery life.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
10 hours with 3 hours of on screen time is just about average for the stock battery.

I would recommended getting the zero lemon 2300 mAh slim batteries if you're lucky enough to place an order for them. They only restock in small amounts and they disappear quick.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeerSteak:
Well that's good to know. They're in stock right now on Amazon so I'll pick up the 2-pack with the charger.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeerSteak:
OK so far the phone has spent half its time unplugged staying awake, and about half of that is being caused by DeskSMS. I got a trial a long time back and decided not to bother because I didn't use it, and when my google account restored to the phone, it apparently got installed and I didn't notice. I've uninstalled that and we'll see what else happens. Very thankful for the BetterBatteryStats suggestion; I'd never heard of it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Well the battery is lithium ion. With repeated charging the battery loses capacity. If the battery is the one that came with the phone, buy a new stock one for cheap off Amazon. That is if you use NFC and have a certain fitted case. If not, go for an extended battery by reviews on Amazon and XDA. My battery is from December and I haven't noticed any decrease yet. The temperature of which your phone runs and the temperature of the environment also effect battery life.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeerSteak:
Great news, everyone. Desk Sms was the culprit all along. This is 3 hours of Netflix and then sleep over night. Just a couple wake locks that I can attribute to emails received overnight.

So out turns out the battery other than the weird drop, at least with the power saver on.

Thanks in particular for the Better Battery Stats suggestion. Without it I would have been majorly confused.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Glad you were able to get it all figured out. Wakelocks are VERY annoying. Search for kms.apk if Mediaserver is ever draining your battery in the future, it is a common battery draining problem as well.

If you're on TouchWiz using Power Saver, I'd recommend disabling it. It throttles your CPU in half. This may cause instability, or overheating problems or sometimes even battery drain ironically. I do however recommend, KT747 kernel with changing govs, and I/O scheduler and using Team Kernelizer tweaks. Try Eugene's CPUSleeper and it may help put DeskSMS to sleep for good. And how could I forget? Definitely try Greenify. It makes apps behave akin to iOS devices. Best of luck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
The problem with Greenify, in this case, is you can't hibernate apps that send notifications, or you will never get them.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeerSteak:
The power saver doesn't bother me. Being in the notification area makes it easy to toggle and performance has been fine. Better Battery Stats says it gets up to 1 GHz Mac and that is plenty on the web or Facebook or Netflix.

I had assumed the media server popping up was due to Netflix streaming. It hasn't been back today since recharging. If it comes back I'll look more at disabling. Today battery life has been great. 12 hours with 2 hours of on time and at 45 percent. I definitely over reacted to the drop and it must have been Desk SMS which never should have been installed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Josh McGrath:
If anyone has any issue with their battery sprint corp stores have a tester takes about ten min. They won't have a problem doing it if you're nice, sprint or not. It will either end up excellent marginal or poor... they don't charge for the test.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maakosan:
Hello good people of XDA!

I checked the forum rules and don't think this crosses the line.

I cracked the screen on my Galaxy S II I9100 (International) and left it for repair. Before I did that I made several backups, CWM recovery, custom efs backup, custom ROM (it's a zip file, but I don't remember what created it), TWRP and the one called blobs. they vary between 442 MB and 1,58 GB.

It took the repair shop a month to replace the screen. But when I restored it the password was still active.

Now, I admit I got a good memory, but it's short :p

I did a factory reset (hard reset) and then there was no password check, but as soon as I did a recovery the password was included..

Any suggestions how to use any of these recovery files and skip the password check, I want to keep photos, SMS, contacts and, well basically everything, or at least be able to extract them.

Stay clever..

Lol I guess that would be the system partition but if you don't restore that, it will probably cause bootloops since your data partition will contain files related to the system files and they will be practically useless. system partition is one of the major partition backup we make.

This is a review of Yoobao HTC One (M7) slim case: http://www.kevikev.com/Yoobao-Crystal-Protecting-PC-Case-for-HTC-One-M7-YBHTCm7-tpu.htm

Some of you guys maybe familiar with my reviews, a TON of stuff I do for N2, N7, and S4 (the complete review link in my sig). I just received review samples of Yoobao cases from www.kevikev.com (the only authorized US dealer of Yoobao products), and beside N2 and S4 stuff they included by mistake M7 case. So I figured to make a short write up for the benefit of anybody who is interested in super slim case for their HTC One.

It's a super slim plastic case with a very nice rubbery matte finish. The plastic itself is semi transparent. There are a lot of color options to suite everyone's taste. This case is for those who are after improving a grip of their naked phone and also protecting back of your phone from being scratched. It doesn't offer full wrap around protection of top/bottom of the phone, so you have to be very careful since you can't rely on this case providing an adequate drop protection. It's mostly to keep it super slim and to give you a better handling of the phone to avoid dropping it. As you can see, all the port openings align perfectly, and button cutout offers an easy access. This case also comes with a screen protector of a decent quality (not your usual ebay cheap stuff) and a very generous micro-fiber cloth which I'm sure a lot of people will find useful even after installation of sp.

So overall is a very nice lightweight case that will blend in with your phone without any additional bulk.

Here are some pics (sorry, i don't even have a phone, just pics of the case):

Hello sgs2 users,

I have some serious problem with my deep sleep.

Deep sleep works good on every stock based, MIUI and after few tries even on jellybam ROM.

But my device doesn't fall to deep sleep on every other custom ROM, like aokp, cm, aosp.

Today I have tried about 6 ROMs. 5 of them were android 4.2.x and one of them was 4.1.2.

None of them won't even try to fall into deep sleep. They mostly use some random cpu levels, from 1200 to 200mhz, but moslty something about 500 to 600mhz.

I would like to give a try to some other ROMs, but I just can't if my battery wohld be dead in 2h.

Is this a normal issue? Do You know how to fix it?
