Also on Orange UK and there are signal problems in my area / a mast blew up or summat. My phone signal's been up and down like a yoyo (G, H, H+, back to 3G, then G, then E, etc, over and over until my battery goes flat in like minutes) since the 31st of May. They have predicted they *might* have it repaired by 9 June. :rolleyes:

Though I don't hate my S3, but I hate samsung. Stock s3 isn't very good for a 500$ device, sure it has lot of cool features and excellent display...but stock s3 experience especially on jelly bean leaves a lot to be desired. I hate to say but it has lagggzzz and big one for that especially when your phone gets old which i mean your ROM (might be due to apps you put in). Basic things like opening the dialer, contacts, etc take up so much time :mad: and from what I've heard some people on newly released s4 are saying the same thing :eek:

Sure you could put your optimized custom ROMs, kernels, do xposed framework to lock apps in memory, exdialer, etc to over come these limitations but the point I don't get is why doesn't samsung with their huge army of engineers/developers do that themselves and give optimum android experience to each user. After all they've paid the premium to deserve it.

And believe me guys, it gets even worse with moderate-low end devices. Sammy is putting their bloated touchwiz and literally killing the phone. A relative of mine bought Galaxy S Duos S7562 and was complaining it has gotten really slow just after 2 weeks of use and asked me to take a look at it. I was shocked to see how bad it was performing and full of lag, I couldn't even type properly on keyboard due to the lag. As i was just only visiting there, the only thing which I suggested was do a factory reset. It by no means is a cheap device, it costs almost 300$ in India..

I'm starting to like the windows phone model personally, don't let the OEM tinker with the software. Sure its restrictive but I can confidently say, my father's 3 year old Samsung Focus with its ancient hardware can literally beat the crap out of the that duos in usability. Hell its almost as fast my s3 at most tasks and may sometimes even exceed it (especially the stock IE which comes with it, its wickedly fast)

From now on, I'm not recommending any androids to anyone unless they can go for a nexus (which has its own limitation of no SD card slot :mad: ) or they are technically sound enough and have the time to put CM on it :D

[/RANT]
[Galaxy S III General] ManuC84:
Yeah I hear you.

So check this out, I did a factory reset, wipe, everything and then installed CM 10.1 nightly. So phone is working fine again and no issues. On the upside as well CM is awesome for the most part (except battery drain like crazy and tethering doesn't work, but i can live with that). I am enjoying my phone like never before, super snappy and so many cool stuff with CM. Then a couple of week pass by and BAM! same issue with the calls begins again. I do a cache wipe and delvik wipe and nothing, still get the same problem, no sound and then suddenly error message of no network.

I am leaning to this being a hardware issue so now I am gonna have to bring all back to how it was and send it to repair. So far I feel like when I tried ubuntu on my pc, a lot of cool stuff, spent more time fixing issues than enjoying the cool features. *sigh*
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Try what I did, I found the best price of those sites that "recycle" your phone, i think its called iGadget, which pays £200 for the s3, buy a nexus 4 for £288 (after all extra costs are included) from google UK play store, the bag/envelope to send your s3 in should arrive a few hours before your nexus 4 gets delivered, get your data off the s3 and wipe it when the n4 comes, set up the n4, send off the s3, you have a great upgrade (2gb ram, no bloat, next gen processor, way better GPU, natural colour screen) for £88.
[Galaxy S III General] ManuC84:
I swear I was just thinking about that, no kidding. :p
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
You wouldn't be disappointed - This nexus is sweeeeeet :)
[Galaxy S III General] ManuC84:
Yep the "pure android!" experience seems appealing to me. Next phone will surely be a nexus for me.
[Galaxy S III General] Mafioso:
Well the nexus is a good phone for the price, but it has its own issues...the biggest one for me no 32gb version or microsd slot. Real usable memory on 16gb would be 10-11gb which is too low. Also I recently saw a friend's nexus 4, wasn't impressed with the screen. Somehow, I find galaxy s3 screen (w/ natural setting) much better than nexus 4. Though the future looks bright with next gen flagships like s4, the htc one, or xperia z as they will start shipping with aosp roms.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Im happy to have a more realistic screen although I will miss the samoled for sure, it is a pretty screen on the s3 and 4

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staffh:
I'm currently on Paranoid Android and as I am a bit unsatisfied with the performance and responsiveness of the device (GT-P3110) I thought I'd try out the latest version of Slimbean as I've heard a lot of good things about it. The installation instructions says to download the ROM, doing a full wipe/factory reset and then flashing the new ROM.

Now, this probably is a really stupid question, but if I first download the ROM and then do a full wipe, won't the downloaded file also be deleted? Am I supposed to download the file to my computer and transfer it to the tablet after wiping it? Is it possible to transfer files to the tablet in recovery mode?

Bit of a noob, as you can see....
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CSP III:
No, its all good. Just put your new file onto your internal or external sd and flash from there with CWM or TWRP. I prefer to flash with TWRP from the external sd, that way I can just keep it in case I have to reflash or whatever. Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staffh:
Thank you. So basically doing a wipe/factory reset/format won't delete the file? If this is the case, what does actually get wiped?

I have now wiped the device and done a format of the /system folder as per the instructions on the slimroms website (can't post an external link as a new user). Since my /Downloads folder (to which I downloaded the ROM .zip file) is now empty, how do I go about flashing the device?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staffh:

4174 KB/s (87596355 bytes in 20.490s)

...the file is nowhere to be found in the /sdcard/download folder when I want to flash it. Any thoughts?

After installing the new ROM I realised I only have about 2gb of free space on my internal memory (out of 8gb). Is this normal? I'm thinking this may have something to do with the device being slow and unresponsive? How can I make sure my tablet is completely "wiped"?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpianz:
In TWRP, an option called "format data" will format your internal storage, just make sure that your downloaded rom, kernel and gapps are on your external storage before proceed.

Usually after performing a data format, I will reboot recovery before flashing to ensure that the partition is ready for the new rom, as per advised on the TWRP on screen instruction.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim0:
Hello, I would like to know how I could extract backed up TWRP data on my computer? maybe because the data was large TWRP split it into two files : data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win001 (sizes 1.5 and 1.2 GB)

How I got there:

I've been using XenonHD rom for quite a while, and this rom uses koush's superuser app.

I noticed there was a newer version on the market so I installed it; however it appears the one used by the rom developer was modified and therefore had a different package name: I ended up with two superuser apps, one of them asking to update the binaries, which I did.

After that the phone got stuck and rebooted two or three times before being stuck indefinitely at 'updating app' message right after the bootanimation. I tried:

- to wipe dalvik cache but it was still stuck;

- I reflashed the rom + gapps but it was still stuck;

- then I went to the /data/app/ folder (via TWRP) and deleted the superuser app i installed from market, as well as the corresponding data in /data/data, wiped cache and dalvik again: still the same...

-the I decided to make a backup via TWRP : one of the whole system, and one of Data partition only;

- then I realised I couldn't transfer it to my computer in TWRP, so I finally made a factory reset, re-flashed the rom+gapps, and then (it worked) copied my backup to the computer

now; how can I retrieve the data of my apps only, as I guess it is the system data that is messed up?

Of course I tried to restore the Data backup in twrp and it got stuck again the same way....

any help greatly appreciated!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forvrknight:
You could try appextractor on the play store
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim0:
It didn't work for me...

I finally got my data back by this tricky procedure (there might be an easier way but google+xda was not my friend on this one, I tried ext2explore and ext4explore, linux_reader, Andoird_ICS_JB_ext4_unpacker and maybe some more without success)

I renamed the two files:

data.ext4.win000 renamed as data.ext4.tar.001

data.ext4.win001 renamed as data.ext4.tar.002

Unzipping the first one with 7zip recreates a .tar archive named data.ext4.tar, which is not really a tar archive (extracting it will only give a very few files, for me it only included the image files of my custom bootanimation)

On this file I used AccessData FTK Imager, which would recognise the 'evidence' as a tar file and would allow you to export the data, however this is only the data contained originally in the first file (data.ext4.win000) (although the reconstructed archive was the right size, for me 2.7GB, the part extracted by this software was only 1.5GB)

To recover the second part, simply rename the second file (initially data.ext4.win001) into data.7z and then extract. (this does not work with the first file, all you would get is again a very few files, for me it looked like the content of a single apk file)

All you have to do now is to merge the two data folders and voilà

I could then retrieve my sms mms messages by retrieving the file smsmms.db (and eventually smsmms.db-journal) located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases, and putting them on the phone in the same folder

I could also retrieve my phone call logs by retrieving the files contacts2.db (and eventually contacts2.db-journal) located in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases, and putting them on the phone in the same folder

Hope it helps someone someday

For some reason replacing the data folder of a particular app does not always work, I have to investigate a bit or maybe start fresh with a new rom and try again

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi_yush:
Two Questions

This is a 4.6 Gigs professional software. If TWRP can read this type of file there must be a smaller tool available for this.

Can you please let me know of any other toll which would do the same?

For the 2nd file do we need to follow the same procedure like 'evidence' and stuff?

Thanks, I am desperate to read some information from TWRP backup and cannot wait 6 days while the 4.6 Gigs of ISO will download.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number_thirty_two:
These files (at least the ones produced by TWRP2 on my phone) are just standard gzipped tar archives. The tar command has supported this format for at least 20 years. You can extract with a command like this:

tar xvfz data.ext4.win000
tar xvfz data.ext4.win001
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carl1961:

[Android General] 0xD34D:
I wanted to take a moment to share with the rest of the community a tool that I whipped up to make sharing logcats a little easier: http://logcat.scheffsblend.com/. Well, easier on the eyes at least. Having to sift through lines of logcat to spot trouble areas can be a pain, especially when the logcat output is just plain text. There are tools that let you view the logcat output from your device in color but when it comes to sharing those logs you left with plain text once again. As an exercise for getting acquainted with Google's AppEngine I decided to write a web app that allows you to submit logcats which are then viewable with all the nice color highlighting I'm use to.

This is not meant to be a replacement for any of the big sites like pastebin. It is for the sole purpose of offering some syntax highlighting for logcats that people share with developers and other users.

Google's AppEngine does have some size limitations so if you have a really large logcat you may need to split it up. Also, I've limited the time logcats are stored to 2 months. After 2 months have elapsed the logcat will be purged to keep storage usage down. This should be an adequate amount of time for most people. I'll monitor the storage and if it stays low enough I may extend that time further.

So feel free to make use of this service and spread the word. Just head on over to http://logcat.scheffsblend.com/ and start pasting and sharing your logcats in technicolor.
[Android General] tonyp:
Just found this, looks nice!

One feature request / bugreport:

It doesn't color lines with a timestemp.

[Android General] 0xD34D:
I just updated it to use a regular expression for taking care of lines that may have a timestamp at the beginning. Here's an example http://logcat.scheffsblend.com/view?id=227001

Thanks for the input and feedback!
[Android General] E:V:A:
This is very cool, but since your own "paste site" Logcat's seem to expire, would it not be be better to auto-link to some public "pastebin" like site, with Color highlighting?

Why? Because people put paste links in thread's that are no longer available at a later date...

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jdub1981:
Rooted gt-5110, noticed very recently that I have weird lag, it seems to be totally dependent on the app though. I mostly use all stock apps and when I use things like the stock internet browser and I use my bookmarks the screen the marks are on will flash several times as if its refreshing the list. Sometimes this flash will happen 5 or so times before I can actually choose something. Ive checked my power settings and have it set disabled, I also frequently check the built in task manager for running apps and I use clean master. Everything seems copacetic as far as settings go but overall it just seems slower.

Btw the only root app I have installed are SuperSU, Titanium Backup Pro and Multiwindow Manager.

For a device that has the same specs as my note 2 it just seems slower. I dont know if thats because it takes more muscke to drive the higher pixel count on the screen or if its something else.
