OMG... I wasn't trying to come off negative, sorry if it seemed that way. I just hate when people like to call out facts when they haven't even used or tested the subject themselfs.

Notice I also said "unless" you did use them yourself.

Alright, i apologize for the snap judgement. Im fanatical about battery, and they do drain extra, which to me is unacceptable for what you get in exchange. Was much more impressed with the smart stay than any of the new ones, and depending on how many times you let the screen almost time out it can add a fairly substantial amount.

Your right, i should probably rephrase my 'hog' assessment, im probably more picky than others about battery. . ;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allanpoppe:
Hello.

About one month ago I rooted my Galaxy Note and flashed Phliz kernel, but kept the original ROM.

A couple days ago my phone started to have some screen flickering and battery drain issues. The screen started flickering and the battery drained till 15%, when the phone completely shuts down. This happened a couple of times. I always put the phone to charge after this, and was able to power it on.

But today this happened and when I tried to power the phone on, it stucked on the Samsung logo screen. And stays there forever. I tried to restart and even do a factory reset (I dont care about my data since its everything on the cloud). The problem persists.

When I put the phone to charge the battery charging icon appears and apparently it charges normally.

I am able to enter the Recovery mode (CWM Touch) and the Download too.

What should I do? Can the problem be the battery? Maybe I should unroot it? Flash a stock kernel?

Can I follow your video step-by-step even having a custom kernel (Philz) and CWM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allanpoppe:
I did it. I followed your step-by-step video. Everything seen to be ok. Unfortunately the same error is happening, the only difference is that it's stuck on the Nexus welcome screen (the X), not the old Samsung screen.

It kept this screen till the screen started flickering again and the phone shut down, as before.

So, I changed the recovery to the normal 6, the kernel to the CM and the ROM to the Nexus 4. None of these solve my problem. What to do now?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allanpoppe:
So... I tried to flash a stock ROM (JB XXLSZ) through Odin. I did everything according to this video ?v=nmLm2pTdxk0 from youtube.

I also changed my battery to another (non-original) that I arranged. Now the flickering stopped.

Now I'm on a bootloop (like he was at the first try), but I tried the second time and it continues on a bootloop. Also, when I go to the stock recovery, it says:

"e: Failed to mount /efs (Invalide argument)"

It appears I bricked my phone? I do not have an efs backup.

Can anyone help me?

I'm a Pageplus user. After flashing 6.7.246 (ICS 4.0.4), I got OTA to 98.72.22 (JB 4.1.2) successfully.

But I'm stuck then when trying to activate Pageplus OTA by calling *22800:

I kept getting "Sorry, this SIM card is not recognized or registered..", no matter how many times I tried.

There's another notified error: "Unknown SIM card detected"

It's abnormal b/c it should fail only 2-3 times, then taking me to the activation screen.

The 4glteSIM card inside was activated before and used on the 6.7.246 stock build.

FYI, I also reflashed 6.7.246 one more time on top of 6.7.246 and didn't encounter the activation problem. So I'm superised to have this issue after upgraing.

Please advice me if you have any idea.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wilsono1050:
Did you keep root? And if you did flash a rom like cm10 and then activate the rom like you did on ics. I did that and then I rebooted in stock jelly bean and it was activated. Hope that helps!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] taller238:
Thx for your reminding. I'll try this way.

Did you install the cm10 with safestrap 3? I tried to install it on the JB but failed. Does it require a rooted JB?

I tried to search but cannot find an effective way to root Bionic JB.

I'll appreciate if u can give some detail abt: A. the JB rooting method, and B. How to install cm10 (or the justed released Blurry-JB_2.4.zip) while keeping the JB stock rom.

Thanks a lot!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wilsono1050:
Idk if there's a jelly bean root method for the droid bionic. But I kept root after the ota. Then with safestrap 3.11 I installed cm10 and activate it. It usually retrieved the activation when the phone boots up with cm10.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] taller238:
I managed to have the JB stock rom rooted anyway (by the virtual box approach).

Then I was allowed to install safestrap 3.1, then the newest Blurry JB 2.4.

I tried to "activate" from the step 2 ("2-Getting phone ready for OTA Activation") of the old instaruction:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...CS-OTA-Activation-TXT-MMS-3G-ROOT-on-PagePlus

But the CDMA Workshop didn't find the port. I assume the reason is that safestrap has blocked the normal bp-tools booting way.

So I can only start from "3-OTA Activation".

After changing "Network Selection" to "CDMA Only", I rebooted and dialed *22800. Still get the same error "sim card not recognized or registered".

Can you please detail how did you "activate" it under cm10?

Many thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wilsono1050:
Okay, if you install the jb blurry rom its going to be the same problem as stock because they're pretty much the same. What I did is 1. Kept root after the ota 2. Installed safestrap 3.11 3.) Rebooted into safestrap and created rom slot 1 and installed cm10 rc2 and gapps. When I booted up it activated by itself for me. I then booted up to stock rom and it was activated as well, but had to install the build prop. so I wouldn't get the unregistered sim error thing. Hope that helps!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] taller238:
I installed the cm10.1.0 rc2 into the slot 1 (with and without gapp), but reboot get a blank screen. Have to pull the battery to get reboot to ss.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] taller238:
may thx. that work!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wilsono1050:
Did you get it to work?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DJ-VAN:
did anyone get this to work?

Thinking of just saving myself the headache and getting a droidx2.

I'm running cm10.1 and safestrap 3.11 3. I'm going to try a dealer tomorrow to see if they can activate it on pageplus.

I haven't activated a phone on pageplus for a while. I've been using simple mobile, straight talk and h20
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kkt12:
I had the same problem when I went from GB to ICS. I just ignored it and kept trying and trying (based on advice/steps I found elsewhere) and after a few times it worked. So I would suggest trying it about 10-12 times in a row to see if it works.

Also, here is the method I used for GB to ICS, I'd be interested to know if they help you move from ICS to JB:

Re-activating phone

1. Remove any old Motorola Droid Bionic drivers you may have on your computer and install the newest ones.

2. Turn phone off and turn back on in BPTools mode. Then plug the phone into your computer via USB.

3. Open DFS. Click "Ports" and select the COM port for your phone. Next, click the "SPC" button.

4. Click the "Programming" tab and then the "General" tab. Change the "Ruim Config" to NV_ONLY and click "Write".

5. Click the "Data" tab. Under the "Mode" section, change the "HDR SCP force AT config" option to "RevA_MFPA" and click "Write".

6. Close DFS and unplug phone from USB port.

7. Go to the dialer and dial ##7764726 (##PROGRAM). When prompted for an SPC password, enter "000000" and hit verify.

8. Go to "06 Test Mode". Hit "Next" twice. Then, change the Network mode to "CDMA Only".

9. Back out to the home screen; the phone will automatically restart.

10. After the phone has restarted, go to the dialer and dial *22800. Ignore any SIM card error messages you may see; just keep trying *22800 until you reach the activation screen.

11. Follow the instructions to activate the phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kralik:
I have been working on this for HOURS and tried just about every single thing I could. Root, CDMA workshop, DFS, MDN, MIN, SIN, Safestrap, CM10.1, CM10... what a mess! I can attest that it is possible to get working but might be very painful. I read the numerous new and old threads trying to piece together information. In the end it's hard to say what really worked but let me comment on a few things:

1) *22800 never worked on the stock ROM. Believe me, I tried it about 200 times.

2) You can program in your MDN/MIN/SID using DFS. However, doing so left me with no incoming calls/texts. Only outgoing... weird.

3) CM10.1 did nothing for me. There was a very annoying issue where I tried to activate it and it acted like it was going to but I couldn't "press 1" since the keypad was disabled during activation.

4) Hashcode's CM10 STOCK didn't boot at all. I tried it with both Safestrap 2.11 and 3.11. CM10 KEXEC booted.

5) I finally got the activation to work in CM10 KEXEC with Safestrap 3.11. After activation worked, incoming calls were fixed.

So... here's the kicker. After pulling my hair out and being frustrated for many, many hours I gave the phone to my wife. I had dialed *22800 and when it started to say "press 1" I handed the phone to her.

"See?!" I said.

"See what?" she said. She poked at the screen a bit.

"It wants me to press 1 and there's no dialpad."

"Hmmm..." she said.

Suddenly I heard the sound of ringing. "Wha...?! Hey, give me that. A different screen? 'Your phone is being activated now, please wait 15 minutes.' GAH! I mean... yay!"

I asked my wife what she did. She was like, "I dunno... I pressed Home Menu Back or something."

So... if I had to guess on a procedure I think it would be like:

1) Update phone to JB if not updated already.

2) Use easy Virtualbox method to root.

3) Go through CDMA/DFS rigamarole (NV only RevA_MFPA yadda yadda)

4) Reboot and set CDMA only. Use BuildProp Editor to set telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0.

4b?) At some point I used DFS to manually program MDN/MIN/SID, but I'm not sure this is necessary.

5) Install Safestrap 3.11

6) Install CM10 KEXEC with Safestrap 3.11 in slot 1.

7) Boot CM10 and *22800 away! Cross your fingers, hand the phone to whoever is next to you in despair.

8) ???

9) Profit!

I erased Safestrap slot, uninstalled recovery and uninstalled the app when I was done.

Anyone know the reason why no 3G? 1x works just fine. When toggle cdma/evdo, it still shows 1x.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ShadyDreamer:
I found some useful information about this about a month ago and some more details recently.

The system app com.motorola.setupwizard.phoneservice (VzwPhoneService.apk) actually intercepts attempts to call the activation numbers. The manifest file hinted at it with the names of the permissions and intents it has in there, and recently looking at decompiled source code confirmed it. The app is also responsible for SIM-based activation for Verizon 4G.

This app seems safe to disable for those on Verizon MVNOs; it is also on lists online of apps that people have safely disabled. When disabled, you can freely call up the activation screen with *228 or its variants.

Note that if you disable that app with a method that is permanent, like changing file extension, moving, or deleting, you should also disable com.motorola.setupwizard.controller (VzwController.apk) by one of those methods. If you ever wipe data, this will prevent it from getting stuck after the welcome screen if you tap start instead of doing the 4-corner bypass. (VzwController gets stuck waiting forever for the disabled VzwPhoneService) A side effect of disabling the additional app is that you no longer need to do the 4-corner bypass on first boot after wiping data when the phone isn't activated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Phweak:
THIS! This so much! I had given up on flashing custom rom's after successfully switching my XT912 to page plus (3g/MMS working) and from there had just given up on custom roms after such a large headache. That was a year ago when the phone was coming from ICS to Jellybean (that was a rookies worst nightmare when google is your only quick resource: wrong versions, wrong tools, old information and didn't know a damn bit better. Ugh) anyways, I recently came back to try it out but found out yet again I was trying to use old information when getting through the activation process. This solved it though. I used Titanium Backup (trial version) to delete the system app/process and activation screen popped up on first try! If anyone else has the same issue that I had, where US Cellular answered my activation call, don't fret. I imagine it has to do with the SID (CDMA Network ID) but then I had let the phone sit for a minute and noticed at the bottom "a special number needs to be called to activate this phone" hit that button then the Verizon activation system answers and its good to go from there.

I'll now install safestrap and hopefully get a version of CM11 to run properly which caused this whole re-flashing process. I had a "working" stock rom that would constantly try to activate on phone startup, but 3g would work after skipping all those annoying screens, however when booting to CM11 it was not working with 3g.

Thank you again for that information, I can confirm com.motorola.setupwizard.phoneservice is the culprit to OTA activation problems when switching to PagePlus network.

I usually don't know that it's off and 'in disguise' when it happens. I only find out later when someone tells me that they called but my phone was off. I check the phone and it's on. I try dialing and it doesn't work, so I hang up and try again, and... presto! It works again!

i have bought a new Sandisk Ultra 16GB class 10 card and flash nexushd2 rom in native sd but i notice no different than nand in the speed !!!

i test the card with h2testw_1.4 and it was ok the speed was 10mb R/W,

So Where is the Speed that everyone talk about !!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
That's basically because it's a myth :P .

I'm kidding, I don't know if it is or not, but personally, I didn't notice any speed difference or improvement. I tried different ROMs, they all behaved as if they were on NAND. I have the same card as you do.

Someone told me once: "It's because you have a UHS card, HD2 doesn't support them so the speed is degraded".

I am not sure of that, but there was no apparent improvement over NAND installation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
+1, I never saw any speed difference. My guess is that since it would theoretically be faster there was a placebo effect and people actually felt their phones being faster. The same thing happens with build.prop tweaks and the entropy seed generator, both of which had great comments but no actual effect on my phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yugoport:
You should read first my friend,this way you will save some Money,any Sandisk class 4 will be faster than any class 10 in native sd, simply because with a class 10 card you get high sequential data transfer and very low random data transfer, and that is the secret random access transfer rate.

But the manufacturers won't tell you the random access speeds, you have to test.

Use crystal disk mark to test the sd and check for the last 2 values..

And read..and search..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sandymac:
I can confirm that the problem is with the Sandisk Ultra SD Card. I had good read but very poor write speeds on a Sandisk UHC which caused all sorts of problems. I changed to a Samsung Class 10 32Gb card and the difference is very noticeable The Sandisk gave a write speed of about 3/4 Mbs and a read speed of about 15 Mbs. The Samsung now gives a write speed of 9.7 and a read speed of 20.15. Both tested with a cache size of 2048Kb. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] x_max_best:
I had the same low write speed in native SD (3 mb), but i flash the rom again in DataonExt mod and the speed of write was 7 mb and i feel some speed up in apps (not in the rom) Rom toolbox collect data faster , I think there is something wroung with Native SD ,the speed of write should be higher than 3mb

Edit: it was a placebo effect , there is no speed up in DataonExt , i test the same app in Nand
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sandymac:
Well, if you looked, I am on Native SD and generally manage around the 10Mbs write with 20Mbs read so nothing wrong with Native SD. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
as the creators of nativeSD and others have pointed out, it's all down to the small block size random read/write speed, that's what most read/writes are when running an OS, small and random.

While reading (for example) a video, it will read bigger, almost certainly sequential, block sizes.

The industry quoted max speed of a card is almost always based on the largest block size, usually read, always sequential speed, so a class 10 can read large block sizes at 10meg, however, test the card for all different block sizes and you'll see that small random r/w's are wayyyyy slower, massively so, often on the order of a factor of 1000 slower.

In general, the lower class cards actually beat the class 10s, often by a large factor, so the rom running from it feels snappier and more responsive than on a class 10.

Check out the (admittedly over a year old, but still a good example) comparison charts HERE, and note especially the 4th and 5th charts, where the class 4 blows the others down by over a factor of 100

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
as already noted 4k and 4kqd32 (qd32 = there are 32 or more write operations in the queue, probably quite common when running an operating system) speeds are atrocious, thats gonna be your real speed, more often than not, somewhere between 38K/sec and 0.6MB/sec,,, a world away from 10MB/sec. Course, oftentimes the system is reading those small blocks, not writing, which is faster so you can probably make a rough estimate of total average r/w at around 2MB/sec, still a long way from 10MB/sec
