[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
It's probably not a big deal but I think there is a reason why they put those codes in there. Maybe there are small hardware differences between different SI numbers, I don't know. Maybe that's what's causing those weird bugs on JB for people who updated using flashtool? I remember hearing back when I had the Ray that this was the case, but maybe I heard wrong.

Anyway, the main reason why I wanted to be able to do this was because I'm considering selling the phone, and wanted to know how to return it to it's original stock firmware version.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KWOKSFUNG:
I dont think it is related to the region

and seems Xperia S only have two version in hardware

The Japanese version known as Sony Ericson Xperia NX (which dont have NFC function) and the LT26i we are using

those jellybean bugs are universal too

actually, those people use flashtool are usually becoz the jellybean firmware are not yet released in their country so they can only be obtained with flashing the ftf file in flashtool
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
I used the flashtool as well as the official JB hasn't released here yet, apparently for Sony Italy doesn't exist, and if it does, it comes after freaking third world countries.

Anyway, what's the point of the SI number then, if all the XS phones are identical?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KWOKSFUNG:
lol I know that feel bro, those update usually release first in America and Europe. Italy are not supposed to be the slowest one.

(Well, some says Hong Kong (where I'm from) is supposed to be one of the slowest, but seems not really true in major update.)

I think different SI number of a rom indicate which input languages it provide in the Xperia keyboard is the main thing.

For example, they dont think u need to type Chinese in Italy, so u may not find the Chinese keyboard in your rom.

And i just flash a .211 recently, which i dont know where region it is for.This rom is lack of the Chinese keyboard. I could only flash it myself with recovery.

Maybe not just language thing all the time, some more stock settings that may suit you a bit more.

BTW, not all XS are identical. When it just release in 2012, Xperia S is known to have the yellow screen problem. (When the device overheat, the screen will show yellow patches in some part. This is a minor hardware failure) But sony offer free repair for those devices then, which replace it with a better screen. We can assume that all repaired XS and newer XS are identical now.

Really wanting one of the 5000mah+ Batteries...but My fears are my precious S4 falling to it's doom due to the lack of grip most crappy exteneded battery cover cases provide.

I'm looking for either a strong bumper...and or a case that will work with any of the good brand extended batteries.

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] eakeller:
Seidio is getting ready to launch their Active case in a version that accommodates their excellent 4500 mAh cell. If you haven't checked it out already it's worth considering. :cool:

For what it's worth, a Seidio 4500 will usually far outlast most other brands at higher mAh ratings. They're pricey, but you get what you pay for.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Locklear308:
Hmm, alrighty then I will check that out. Thank you good sir!

i got in Zero Lemon 3000 mAH battery in the other day these are screenshots from my first full charge yesterday. get idea of the day

i woke up at 9am with 100% battery eat breakfast got dressed for gym. around 1030am left house to walk to gym i was at 97% turned on GPS used apps S-Health and Runner keeper to track my steps from house to gym and how long took etc. keep gps on whole time 99mins+ why at gym to use app- Gympact a app that motivates to work out and pays at end of week not much like $1.50 unless you bet more :X use gps location to make sure at gym for at least 45mins a day left gym around 1:15PM turned off all work out apps and gps was left with 89% thru out rest of the day i played games off and on. checked emails and facebook.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] oohaylima:
Ain't that the truth. I paid 105 for their combo deal with the Evo 3D. Was worth every penny out in the field.

Uh......does that come other with a combo case like the OP wanted?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Locklear308:
Whoa, that's amazing. But it has no NFC right?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] WarbyParker:
Get the extended Zerolemon. $40 with a case and one full charge lasts around 60 hours with 12 hours screen time.

The best bang for your buck.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Locklear308:
Case doesn't seem grippy or protective, how is it?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] WarbyParker:
It's TPU plastic, so it feels slightly rubberized. It has more grip than the phone itself, but doesn't cause too much friction with putting the phone in your pockets.

I found the extra weight helps keep the phone in your hand. Additionally if you look at the shape of the case, the camera recess is a very convenient finger hold.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
No can use any case it fits stock phone back like the stock 2600
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] oohaylima:
Nice.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GnexusPro:

Hi all. Thanks in advance for the help. This site really is amazing for speed and knowledge for free help.

Anyway, I just got a Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M. It's locked to Telus, and I'm trying to unlock to Bell. I've followed the unlock instructions found at the redmonpie dot com as per the recommendations on this site. I'm a new user here so I can't post the link.

Anyway, with the last step...after 1 failed attempt..., every time now I get the error message: SHA356_OFF=>Not Change

I've done a search on the site here and can't find anybody else who's had this error. The phone is running 4.1.1.

Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] danielvelez:
Hi there.

I´m on a 6210. Was on 4.0.4 rooted.

Still wanted to update to 4.1.2. using odin for flashing stock 4.1.2.

Got stock

I have download mode available and running windows 7 on the other side.

Have tryied to flash but it fails and now I´m between "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen or "odin download" screen.

The tablet seems to comunicate with pc but fails every time.

Even tryied to flash cwm to try to wipe but odin wont let me.

using odin 3 1.85 and also odin3 3.04 that worked for rooting and flashing my S4 a few weeks ago.

Any ideas? Currently I´m downloading a stock 4.0.4. to try to flash back to it.

Ah, I also looked up and downloaded a PIT table for the 6210 and tryied a few more times with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] danielvelez:
Update:

:fingers-crossed:

I changed the data cable (have one long and one short non stock cables) from the long one to the short one... Now it seems to be flashing with odin... so anybody with a similar issue, try for a better communication between pc and tablet..

I´ll update on a sec if I´m successfull.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] danielvelez:
Fixed.

Now on Deodexed XXMF1... about to root. :cyclops:

It seems like Samsung and mac's don't ever work in sync. HTC, MOTO, Etc... All have functionality, os x, doesn't. Has there been a remedy for this yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Use Android File Transfer for Mac. Works like a charm.

http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
This hasn't worked for me on any samsung other than the GNEX.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Probably you have some other software installed, that run into conflict with android File Transer. For example - Parallels Desktop, Fusion or any other software that uses USB connection directly. 'Cause I have this program installed on my MacBook Air for two years, and since that I had:

HTC One S

Samsung Note 2

HTC Droid DNA

Samsung Galaxy S4

All devices are worked and still working. Sometimes I have to reconnect the device to determine it properly. In very rare case I have to reboot my computer. But in most cases it works from the start.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
It works with the Still works with the DNA, and GNEX.

Still nothing with the S4. Guess It's time to write an sort of dynamic .sh adb based Script.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
That would be great :)

Another thing I remember - that when USB-Ethernet adapter is connected to my Air and in use - it makes some problems to fastboot. Try to disconnect it before connecting the phone. And just in case: is USB Debug option turned on?

PS: Just checked again AFT if it works. Find attached screenshot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
This is what I keep getting.

Yes Debugging is off.

I'm running CM10

FastBoot Doesn't quite work with Samsung phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
My Debugging is ON.

CM10 - that should be a start point! Did you try on Stock ROM? If my memory serves me right - there was some thread about MTP support for CM10 ROMs. Try to look around.

Fastboot - yes, I know. It was just explanation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
At this point the only thing that works is a ADB push command. I'm trying to build something more dynamic. Something like AFT that relies on adb vs MTP / PTP because samsung really knows how to make that never work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
I know at least one realization of your idea - ADB plugin for Total Commander. This is awesome tool, but it runs only on Windows.

If you will make such a thing for Mac - it will be fantastic! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
It's way more than advance than I am, but i'll see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Do not overprice it. :) It just uses regular adb commands. To work with folders, for example, it uses "adb shell su ls -l -a" command, and parse results with regular windows framework. I am not Mac programmer, but I am former programer at all, and can say that biggest job in making such program - is interface.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
I'm a cs student, with no real "Programing Education" so i'm going to be "Mickey-Mousing" though i've contact the Original dev. I wanted to make something like that, but much simpler.

Though with google i'm sure i'd make somehting usable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
I wish you good luck! If I can help you with anything - just let me know! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
I'll definitely let you know.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan9550:
So as of recently my battery life seems to be just terrible. I haven't done anything weird or started using any apps that are doing things in the background to drain my battery. I've been using the Devil kernel on and off (i thought it was having a negative effect on my battery life, but even a stock CM doesn't last long.

I should also not that when my battery does get to about 2-3% or less when im using the phone the screen brightness will start to flicker, and that if i turn my phone on after the battery having died in most cases if it tries to boot it results in a bootloop which is only fixed after i have wipe my data partitions.

Here are some screenshots of my battery stats from my usage this morning (and a few others ive taken):

I haven't even had the phone a year is something wrong with the battery or phone maybe? Im tempted to see if i can get it fixed under warranty...

Not really relevant but it also has a shattered screen
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Something could be off with the media process. Try without an sd card. Some people (myself included) have had problems with the sd card being unmounted and mounted again, causing the media process to rescan the whole sd, huge battery hogger.

Edit: also try using better battery stats (free on the xda android apps section) to see if you can identify the problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan9550:
at the moment i don't have an sd card installed, i did have one but took it out to use it for other stuff. Will try better battery stats and see if that gives me any more info as to where all my battery is going.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
The Android OS stat being so high compared to Screen (normally the largest consumer) suggests you have something running. If you tap the Android OS line it will open and show you what is running. That gives you a start on what should or should be on. Haven't used Better Battery Stats but ES File Explorer and ES Task Manager are good tools, and I have Battery Booster which can Optimise the system by killing unneeded apps. Also DL Greenify - if hibernates apps and saves memory and battery without affecting performance noticeably.

note: I like ES Task Manager because you can kill apps then hit refresh and see which ones restart - lets you have a good idea what is needed versus what hasn't been closed after use.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan9550:
So i ran my phone from 100-5 and had better battery stats measure things, i took some screenshots can anyone see anything unusual?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
use an app like GREENIFY to hibernate the apps when not in use. if that doesn't help, change the kernel to like siyah and check the battery performance. if this is common on any custom rom and custom kernel, flash a stock ones and return to warranty and handle the phone to service center. :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
well, the most wakelocks are caused by Maps, but your CPU governor is messed up - your CPU is at the max power almost always. What kernle are you using and are you using any CPU tweaking apps?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Maps seems like the cause:

Your stats show 4 hrs in deep sleep and about 3 hrs awake, but only 22 minutes of screen time.

And amongst the wake locks (stuff keeping your phone awake) maps seems like the winner, with skype following close by.

You need root, the following things should help:

Try converting maps to user app (not installed to system) and try the app greenify to suspend it while not being used. Or freeze it directly with titanium backup and unfreeze only when needed.

Try turning off wifi and gps location off unless you need some app to know your location (in adjustments).

Also use some cpu speed control app. You can limit your max cpu speed to 1ghz or lower without loosing performance (unless playing heavy games). Also you can create a cpu profile with about 300mhz when screen is turned off, which is enough for music playing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan9550:
Strange seems like my cpu doesn't want to scale down from 1400mhz, its just sitting there constantly :| back on the stock kernel now btw

Hey all,

A little background: I've been flashing ROMs for years without any problem (that I couldn't solve myself). This time, however, I coming here to ask for help with my tail between my legs.

I flashed SlimBean on my cappy about 2 weeks ago, without problems. I decided to switch over to CM nightly again today, but ran into a problem copying the ROM/Gapps zips onto my phone. It didn't matter how I tried getting the files on my phone, as the file transfer would stop after 2-5 megs. I tried copying over USB, LAN (w/ ES File Explorer), and straight download off the website. All failed. So, without bothering to try and troubleshoot further I decided I'd just go back to stock and then to CM using a one-click. It froze after a little over 5 seconds, and no amount of waiting helped it move along. So, after about a half hour, I unplugged and tried again.

So, I can get into download still using the volume buttons and plugging in USB, but otherwise it's straight black-screen bricked. Each one-click I try fails. The only hint I have to the problem at this point is the Heimdall java one-click gave me this error:

Initialising connection...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
You need:

- Windows 7 OS

- correct Samsung drivers installed

- use motherboard USB ports, not front panel USB (or use a laptop)

- good USB cable with all pins connected, original Samsung is good

- run Odin one-click package as Administrator (right click...)

- plug micro USB to the phone, hold volume keys and plug the phone to the PC

- make sure the phone enters Download Mode

- make sure Odin sees the phone

- click Start and wait, you have to see the progress indicator on PC and on the phone (blue bar)

Process takes about 5min. I had to do it 3-4 times, works with no issues.
