Wow what a process. .. Odin back to stock recovery (not ROM only factory recovery e3 which can be found here http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/ ) do a factory reset in stock recovery and flash back cwm and cm10.1 with the right Gapps, let me know what the results are
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SheridanJohn:
Hi and thanks for your reply!

I can't find a e3 factory recovery in any of the subdirectories from that link, though. Before I used P7501XXLPC_P7501DBTLPC_DBT.zip from sammobile, I was under the impression that this will kill anything. At least the tar.md5 files contains boot, bootloader, cache, hidden, modem, recovery and system. However, I would be happy to try something else. I also read about repartitioning and also got a "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" file, I am not sure if I used that in the early process.

make_ext4fs responsible for errors...?

Hi,

I did some more tests and could reproduce a faulty file system with the following steps:

- install something on /system

- run make_ext4fs on partition p4 (/system), either with or without -w (wipe, apparently not doing anything as it is "afraid" of the EMMC bug, that my device does not even have according to the emmc tester app)

- run e2fsck on that partition

et voila => endless file system errors.

This can't be normal (and harmless), can it? Looks however more like a problem with make_ext4fs if the wipe step is omitted.

If I run make_ext4fs with "-t" option (which apparently initialized the unused inodes), the file system is clean afterwards and stays clean during further runs of make_ext4fs and also during installation of CM. However, another installation of CM will then call make_ext4fs without -t and then the errors are back.

In my opinion the problem here is, that wipe is not executed at all and (without the -t option) the inodes contain some data. Not sure, how this affects the file system, though. Maybe it does not matter at all, however it is somewhat confusing that there are errors right after the fs creation...

Hi,

I'm sorry, I have no error solution, I can only list what I've done.

I flashed my Tab 10.1 N 3G with Odin / P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_ITV.

TAB Worked with this Android 4.0.4 perfectly, also G3.

Later: Root; Flash Rom with CM first 5.x meanwhile 6.0.3. TWRP don't work on my device.

For Weeks i use CM 10.1 nightly and meanwhile kernel A1_P4_V1.9 work perfect - min 456MHz max 1600MHz ondemant / row

Antutu from 5000 points to round about 7000points
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SheridanJohn:
Thanks for your reply. I can affirm that this combination (CM 10.1, A1 1.9) works very fine and smooth. With latest 1.9 I also get very good batterly life with very long deep sleeps. I reinstalled everything now, making sure I formatted all partitions cleanly and tested them for fs errors. So I hold my thumbs that it will continue working. I also updated not just by flashing new CM over old one, but by manually formatting /system using "make_ext4fs -t" beforehand.

At my first CM 10. installation, it was failed after a crash which needed a hard reboot (long power button). Afterwards, it would hang in the boot animation and I found fs errors on /data and /system. Maybe a glitch, maybe those errors were there before I installed it, who knows.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelcastrol:
Hello,

This is driving me crazy.

I come from iOS. I could use my phone and it was only connecting to the internet when needed. Though I could still receive push notifications.

Now my problem is that my One keeps connecting to h+ whenever it feels like it.

For example I could be idle in the menu or exit an app or unlock the screen...and the damn thing would enable a connection, checking god knows what.

If I disable auto sync then the problem sorts itself but I guess I wouldn't receive any gmail or facebook notifications anymore.

I tried only checking gmail, chrome and fb under accounts and sync, but problem is still there. A real pain as I'm pretty sure it eats my battery by connecting often.

Ps : contacts are on the phone and I unchecked the box that allows user to get contacts from Google contacts.

Update : sync off doesn't fix anything.

Is there a way to see which program tries to connect ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelcastrol:
So I wiped everything, and installed Maximus, AHRD & Trickdroid one after the other to check things out. Always ending in a way that didn't please me. So I started to install app after app and checking between each install.

Things started to get messy when using ChompSMS. The damn thing seems to connect to the internet almost every damn time you send a message.

Then, I also saw that Blinkfeed needs to load images even though it's set to update on Wifi, so I removed every news feed just to make sure - problem solved for this one (not using it anyway).

Now, there's way more connections being enabled, so I'm pretty happy. Still a few but I guess that's ok. I will monitor them tomorrow upon rebooting the phone but so far, beside :

- Facebook (push)

- Google services (probably for hangout)

- Twitter (god knows what)

There are almost no "unexplained" connections anymore (only 2 remains, but I'm pretty sure they are OS related). I will probably check out a firewall tomorrow afternoon and see if I can configure it correctly, but seeing that there are quite a lot of core programs that needs to be able to go on the internet, that might prove to be a challenge.

But I'm quite happy with the way things are turning out. Goddamn ChompSMS...and if I disable internet access via a firewall, it won't be able to receive/emit MMS. So I'm back with the stock app for now (which lacks some iphone-sque smilies, and some emoji icons)

Hi Guys,

I have this peculiar problem with galaxy grand. Just bought a new handset and first two days the battery lasted for entire day.

And then it's like discharging in about 4-5 hrs only. I turn off 3g when not required.

The biggest problem is charging the phone. The bundled charger is 1A charger. Logically charging a 2100mah battery should take 2hrs but this one takes 4-5hrs. I ordered a 2A charger from ebay but when i plug it in, battery spy program displays alert in red saying "battery is high" not sure what it means, but I believe it's not able to handle the increased current.

My friend who uses samsung note uses a blackberry charger and charges it in 2hrs flat. Then why is galaxy grand taking a hell of time?

Thanks for the help in advance

Raj

Because of phone improper settings. These can happen. Pls don't use task manager. It will eat more battery. Android already have inbuilt task killer to kill applications. If you have few bucks try to buy auto killer memory optimizer it tweaks android internal setting's and make your phone lag free.. Most of the time I playing HD games while charging..

I use a programme called VAULT where i can save lots of private number ect.

i recently installed a new rom, so before i did that i went into vault and it asked me do i want to save all numbers to phone and remove them from vault. i said yes and then went ahead and cleared data ect.

now on the new rom, i cant find these contacts.

where will the be?

their not on my phone list?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
it saves the contacts to some file in the internal storage... install vault again and search for them.. or if its stored in VCF format, use the import/export option in the contacts menu

can you please explain a bit more where i'll be able to find these contacts.

I really do need them.

search in internal SD card for new folders .... check for .vcf files... open contacts app and hit the menu button and select import.. and it will scan the SD card for you., also try to install vault again and check the restore feature
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLarner:
I've installed it again and it has no restore feature.

i think it has 1 if you pay for the full VAULT, but i dont have that.

it clearly asked me before i erased it, do you want to transfer your contacts to phone memory, and i clicked yes.

so they must be saved somewhere :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLarner:

this is the programme...

Vault-Hide SMS, Pics & Videos

so would the developer be NQ Mobile Security?

if so, how do i go about contacting them?

I also went into my sd card and searched for .VCF files but nothing come back.

did you make a backup of the old rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLarner:
no, their was nothing i was really concerned about losing, apart from these numbers,

i've changed roms a few times and always just went into the play store to re-install anything i wanted back.

all my pics and videos stayed where they were.

its just this time, i totally forgot to write down the numbers i wanted to keep off this programme.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
the only change of getting them back is if the app stored those numbers on the SD card.. if it moved it back to contacts .. same as it deletes when we add a private contact, then its lost... still as ThaiDai said... go to playstore and there is an option to email the dev...

i have also used this program but where is the option to restore the contacts back, other than cloud?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLarner:
no idea, but i remember seeing something on there a while back, about paying for a premium something or other, and then you can alot more things.

problem is, i dont even know what it is to look for in the sd card ect.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] E15i:
I have the device for some time now, I clean the screen when it dirty, and when not used, it either docked in it's dock for charge, or stored in my SENA leather pouch, is there still any need for a screen protector? I do baby my devices, I have some old SE K800, that now my mom use, and except some very little scratches, on the screen (it actually made of glass with some nice layer of anti reflect ), it looks like new, I don't put my devices in pockets of my jeans or so, as I always go around with a backpack with all my stuff, be the smartphone in separate pocket.

I read some thread around the net, from what I understood, there a couple types of screen protectors:

dry or wet installation, and glare or anti glare, some has oleophobic layer, there even a glass protector to protect the glass to protect the glas LOL.

I do like how anti glare once, look indoors, and outdoors, but as for the quality of the display quality, it not worth it, you have an HD resolution display, even though it's a PenTile type, it still on paper has HD resolution, anti glare just make it look so bad, I don't know how the more pricey ones, work with it, but if I compare it to my 24" IPS DELL computer display, it's difference of day and night (and in negative form, DELL is much better), so yes I do hate the glare, it much easier to read from matte display, but it the manufacturer thought it need to be glare, and there no option to choose matte or glare (like you have in let say, laptops), I don't know how you guys like anti glare screen protectors.

Then there the standard screen protector we all know, the problem is, they just don't feel like the sleek cool glass, it harder to swipe, and play games with them, I know it's not Gorilla glass, but I just hate to buy a device for resale value, I like all about it, and I don't have the money to replace device every then and now, also I don't run after the newest and best devices at all, when I understood I need a NEXUS, then all I buy is NEXUS, just for the NEXUS experience, and thats basicly all I care about, not that much about the specs, as I don't have so much of a choice, because it's NEXUS.

Also, I just hate dry installation screen protectors, and the one, that we have for the device, not cover all the screen, because it curved, so I maybe consider, a wet installation protector, but then again, they from what I seed, has a weird orange peel feel, and they not feel like the glass, at all, so I just don't know, do I need or don't ? I just like to feel the device, like it is, actually I use the SENA pouch, because I use the dock to charge the device, and don't want to wear the USB port, and that the best and only choice, that feel and looks nice, and protect the device very well, also the screen. as it inside made of soft velvet material, and also, I just can't use any other type of case, as I need it be easily removed from the device, when I need a charge, if I did..the case would wear and tear very fast, and get scratched, and what not.

Thoughts?

tl;dr summary: Do I need a screen protector? and with one?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] E15i:
But what about screen protector? As been said I do have SANA made sleeve, but do I really need to add a screen protector?

I think I want to try a wet install, but don't want to shell much $$$, what the options ?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Andrew025:
Needs a tl;dr summary.

I would say don't bother with a screen protector. None of them offer the clarity or the feel of the bare glass.

I've had my n7 since launch and use it for looking at things while working on my car and it's still in perfect condition.

I've only recently put an anti glare one on since it's mostly being used as the head unit in my car. Helps with glare and finger prints but the display quality really suffers.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] E15i:
That the whole point, it just not the same feeling, I know there there a glass screen protectors, but they just destroy the design, and they cost $$$, I may do resell my devices, but not the near future, I mainly want the NEXUS experience, only when Google drop update support, then I may think to sell them, I can't kind of stop thinking of it, but come to conclusion, that I want a clear oleophobic screen protector, are those 10 for 5$ and so from eBay, any good? also they need to be changed from time to time, so better to buy a pack. Why manufacturers actually make the devices with glare screen? I mean, for example, in some notebooks you have TN panel, and then when it used with glare type layer, it kind of shows better colours, and brightness, but with AMOLED, IPS displays? what the point ? the only thing I can think of is, they used with touch panel, and like many things touch, being this a mouse trackpad from glass or plastic, or again touch panels, they can't be made sleek enough to work with, and they have to be made with glare finish, on other hand, old WM devices was all matte finish from what I remember, but they was recitative.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bluroon:
Matte screen protector will be better especially for gaming, though I removed mine because it is culprit of the screen flicker that I've been annoyed for when I got my nexus. Happy using it without protector, you'll appreciate better the quality.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kesongpinoy:
matte screen protectors makes swiping so much smoother but I have yet to find one that doesn't degrade the quality of the screen. dry clear protectors are much closer to the glass feel but they do also get a lot of fingerprints. Ive also tried wet install and the screen feels a bit rubbery, very different feel from the glass.

I have seen a video in the internet where they dropped two iPhones, one with screen protector and one without. The one with protector didn't cracked the glass so I guess screen protectors are very cheap investment that can add extra protection to our device, especially I've seen lots of accounts that cracked their nexus 7 after accidentally dropping them. It's possible that the video is not applicable to nexus 7 since they are bigger but still, I don't want to take any chances :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] E15i:
I ordered 3 Xtremeguard in the end, the price is good, and most agree that for the price, they worth it..will se how it will out, but again, you say even that I use it at home, and the screen is protected, when not in use, there still a need of screen protector?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] elvee68:
I don't use one. I like to just have the official Nexus 7 case with the flip cover. It keeps the screen safe when I'm not using it.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] nlabrad:
The best screen protector experience i had was with a ghost armor in my atrix. I had to peel it off because sand got under one corner in the beach, but it lasted 1yr and a few months with no problem. Reeeally finger friendly, not sticky at all, i could swipe better with the protector than with the bare glass and very flexible. I would get it for the nexus if i were in usa again.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kbeezie:
With the Nexus 7 that I use in a thin hard case most of the time, I prefer for the screen to be more naked. Since half the time exposure to it's surface is going to be minimized. (That and large 'decent' protectors are expensive).

Where as on my Nexus 4, at the very least I put an invisible shield on the front. Can opt for either the HD for clarity/glass-like, or the older "military grade" one if you prefer the more 'rubber' feel to it (And also seems to sort of dissipate the fingerprint effect). Only because I would be using my phone more, and more likely used with one hand or constantly taking in and out of my pocket.

It's a personal choice. I just prefer the invisible shield because it's one of the few that you can pay 20-30 (for phone size) for, that seems to keep it's quality and place on the phone for nearly 2 years if not more (ie: you'll probably upgrade your phone before you replace that screen).
