Happens with many electronics. I've seen bad AC Cords melt and laptop power jacks break and short and cause similar damage and smoke, as well as regular desktop power supplies. You will always get a few defects.

There was another story... can't find it saw it in the last day or two.. where a buy got burns on his leg from having his S4 in his pocket. I remember seeing things like this pop up way back in iPhone 3G days where it burned some guys jeans and stuff. Electronics are prone to having defects. There will always be a few. Expecting it and protecting or minimizing damage is the key.

That being said thats why I leave all my devices that I have charging over night on my nightstand next to my bed, away from anything else usually, so if anything does happen I'm right there and hopefully would be knocked out of my hibernation cycle and smell smoke. I will always unplug chargers if im going to be gone for more than 15-20 minutes as well.

I take these precautions before I had a very very close encounter with a cheap reading lamp over my bed once that decided to randomly spark for a few seconds and produce a small bit of smoke directly over my head a few years ago before tripping the circuit breaker while I fell asleep with the light on. (AC cord was red hot as well) Needless to say, I had a unpleasant awakening. Circuit breaker might have saved my life. Never want to have to wake up to something like that again.

So I've had the case for a few days now.

I also have the Otterbox Commuter and Ringke SLIM. I love all the cases. But I find myself only wanting the Bugdroid on.

The case seems to offer just the right amount of protection without being too bulky. The cutouts are perfect, and it has a good lip on the screen to keep it off the counter if you lay your phone facedown. Which you're going to want to do to show off the heat design on the back.

Now let's so some pictures.

As you can see it's smaller than the Otterbox and just a tab bigger than the Ringke. Great in-between case.

That is all. Go on with your everyday now.

Can somebody be fair to say in which condition they succeed to make it work with XDA II / QTEK 2020. I have tried to install widcomm stack as explained in other thread http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=11729&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

But with 2.2 or 2.06 rom I only get not enough memory when I try to start it.

So which version of Rom, Radio and Extend can be used with widcomm BT stack. and does it really work with HD ipaq BT Headhones ?

Thank you

Ipaq Bluetooth headphones does work with XDAII

I have made it worked with XDAII, but you have to use either Widcomm stack version 1.0.0.3500 or 1.5.0.2000.

My ROM version is 1.72, Radio 1.17 and my own Customized Ext. ROM. I did try it with 2.2 ROM but the BT stack is a bit unstable (every now and then it reported not enough memory, especially when you have lots of thing loaded on Today screen) so I downgraded back to 1.72.

I also had this headphone worked with PC using IVT Bluesoleil stack.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] newworld666:

it is a complete and I expect to be the reason of the memory trouble ?

I finally succeed to install the widcomm stack with Stero Profile . The way I used is :

1) Remove [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIcon]

2) Remove [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Transports\BuiltIn\3]

3) Reset

4) install "Broadcom Widcomm 1.5.0.0801 PPC.cab" which is somewhere in the forum

5) copy all the files of Widcomm 1.5.0.200 in windows directory

6) Install Platformxxx.reg

7) reset

8) Install "Broadcom Corporation BT-PPC AV.cab" included in the file I found in the forum in "Broadcom Corporation BT-PPC AV.zip"

And now I can pair and use HP BT stereo Headphones whitout anyproblem on any version of the Rom.....

Just buttons of the headphones are not working is it the same for all ?

and Headset profile doesn't work anymore whith my BT Headset.

I will try with my BT GPS and BT Stowaway Keyoard and Mouse.

I was going to buy Xperia Z but after I saw HTC One I am confused. Because its design is very nice. But I know the quality of Sony. Why should I buy Xperia Z?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
For me, one reason is enough after having two phones dying for the same cause. That's water resistance.

Both phones scream high quality, both have high end materials, and both have atractive looks.

Specs and screen quality, you gotta give that to HTC.

Screen size is up to you.

Community support, Sony.

Camera, Sony.

For me is a tie, but water resistance unsettles the score.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] collegebored:
over the last few days I've flashed a number of ROMs, mostly the Google Edition 4.2.2 and 4.3 ones and every single one of them eventually fails to boot hanging on the Samsung bootloader screen. and i say eventually because the first boot is almost always flawless, but then each time i reboot or power down, its almost guaranteed to loop.

I've tried so many different combinations that there's really not a single path I've taken every time, but the general steps are:

-root original firmware using motochopper

-install TWRP via GooManager

-reboot recovery and wipe everything, typically I do Advanced and select everything, then format Data

-then flash through ADB sideload, I do this since I wipe everything before flashing and I don't have an external SD card

-immediately after flashing ROM, I flash loki-doki also through ADB sideload. some of the ROMs I tried said they were lokied, but I still got the ATT invalid ROM message, so I reflashed with loki and it worked.

-then reboot system and the first time it comes up and works fine on every ROM I've tried

But if I power down or restart, on a very rare occasion it'll come up, but almost every time it hangs on bootloader screen. I also noticed once it's stuck on bootloader, power button becomes unresponsive, sometimes holding it powers down device, sometimes does nothing (have to press and hold twice)

If I flash back to stock using Odin, it works, boots, reboots, powers down just fine.

I've also tried flashing with a ROM and then immediately after with the stock ATT kernel, also booted up fine, but looped on restart.

Could this be hardware issue?

I'm about to give up on this and go back to stock for good, which would be really disappointing, can anyone help?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] collegebored:
I assume KT means http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292341 ?

I've tried that too with jamal2367's 4.2.2 GE ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2341794). It refused to boot all together.

First time I flashed with AOSP version since I thought that was an AOSP ROM, then reading more comments in the other thread it said I needed the TW version for GE ROMs, so I tried that too. Either way, neither of them booted at all, even the first time, so I gave up on KT and only used either ROMs' included kernels or ATT stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
It is not a hardware issue, I am guessing that you have a US ATT G4 correct? I would odin back to stock, and restart the process again, this is assuming you tried the correct TW kernels. Because I know this error and all it requires is a simple flash of the correct kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] collegebored:

And any idea why the ROM's kernel wouldnt work after being lokied?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
You know, I don't even look at anything that says loki anymore, I flash the rom I want and use MY carriers kernel, bootloops and hangs are just not there, I do not see these issues everyone has, because, I have this procedure everytime. So...

Btw, your good on your files you want to flash, but, if this does not work ie, GE and that kernel, try a TW rom with the kernel, bet it boots properly. I do not give a rats

a$$ about goole roms. They are not worth it. Btw, I use this procedure on TW and aosp roms, no issues. Just because it says it loki'ed, flash the kernel you know works, loki just confuses people.

The Ax says again an again..My opinion only!

Good luck sir.

BTW, I ran that rom with the kernel you chose, it should work just fine. Remember, flash the TW version.

Thanks Ax for your help here, your welcome.

Hello everyone,

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday at company FIDO and right away I noticed problems with battery draining. I've been searching through forums and found out many people had the same problems. I'm not sure if i'm in the good forum but here is my problem: this is my first ever smartphone and I have noticed, in a few hours of use, that the battery would drop 1% every few minutes, even though I barely use it. I switched off all the battery-eating things (WIFI, GPS, Synchronisation,etc.), deleted apps I didnt need, turned down the screen at lowest brightness, restricted background data and stopped apps after each use. In the battery use section, Android System is at 42%, and screen 29%... I basically tried everything I saw on the forums but the battery is still going down quite quickly, and at some times it gets very hot. I also tried rebooting it and taking off the battery. Boy, I even did a factory reset but it still seems to be going down. I also heard about downloading loops problems but I don't know how to solve them. Shall I call Samsung ? I am thinking about changing to an Iphone if this problem persists, as I need a phone with good battery life for my job! Please help me, and if you need me to post screenshots, just ask.

Also, I deleted by mistake the Android OS ''app'' in the Settings/Application Manager/Running before doing the factory reset. It disappeared! How do I get it back?!!?!

Thanks

Louis

Check out BetterBatteryStats. Make sure you read the 1st post there, and understand what you have to do to get a good dump. Enable root features, if your phone is rooted. Post in that thread & attach your dump file, and someone will help you analyze it.

The BBS dump file will show what processes are keeping your phone from going into deep sleep mode. Armed with that information, you can take appropriate action. If your phone is rooted, you'll have much more flexibility.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LouisLeonardo:
Hello,

I have installed BBS and checked up how wakelocks work on this thread . However, I really am a newbie so I have no idea what rooted means, and since I'm still on warranty and do not want to risk bricking my phone, I prefer not to do it. However, I followed the instructions of different threads: for example, I basically turned all my sounds off, uninstalled useless apps, turned off syncing of pretty much all apps. I'm still not sure of how GPS works: I think I might have to use it (if i ever get lost somewhere), but I'm not sure if it should always been on. Same thing for WiFi.

Maybe without a rooted phone it's useless to share my dumpfile? What I did today was plugging it, let it charge fully, and used it right afterwards. If I understood well the instructions, I should've waited 1-4 hours to have a good dump. Next time I charge it, I will do so, and will come back to them. Thank you very much!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkFranX:
Isn't fido the same as rogers? I'm with rogers and my phone also had crazy battery drain, I couldn't do more than 16h even without using it, but was usually around 10h max. Sometimes I had 10%/h drain while the phone was in sleep.

I first compensated that battery drain with a ZeroLemon 7100mAh battery bought on Amazon (stock battery is 2100mAh) and I after decided to root my phone and change the ROM and kernel. I now get better battery life: around 60h (2days and 12h). I haven't tried my new setup with stock battery though. I saw a guy get 5days of battery life with the Zerolemon 7100mAh, link here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43331093&postcount=458

I know you don't want to break your warranty but I think there's way to get back your phone to normal after you root it and flash custom ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If the phone is running stock 4.3, rooting, flashing a custom recovery, or a custom ROM will trip the knox counter and void the warranty.

OP, did you check your battery usage on the day you got the phone? I find that battery life gets better as you continue to use the phone. I found this to be the case with many of the custom ROMs I have used over the years.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] buildnoob:
I see you use battery defender. This is pretty good to keep the WiFi and data to a level. I'm assuming your not rooted or cfw. Considering you said you don't even know what root is.

You can indeed root the phone and trick the flash counter to still be 0 but I doubt u wana risk a bricked phone. And that's another story.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFGman:
I had stunning success with build 6, but build 7 is now installed and there are some issues. I'm hoping there are solutions, 'cause they're sort of important to me.

1. The main reason I was looking for alternative ROMs in the first place was battery life - the official JB update for my international I9100 was a battery vampire, leaving me with 30% battery by early afternoon, some days sucking me down to 3% by 3pm, with very moderate use.

Slim build 6 was amazing, best battery life ever. Build 7 is not very good at all, leaving me with ~10% by the end of the day. Am I the only person noticing this?

2. The lock screen sometimes decides it's not going to activate. I turn the phone off and on again, and I'm immediately back into the phone - no lock screen. It'll do this for 20 mins at a time, then suddenly - during regular use - lock itself, as if the lock screen was just waiting for a convenient time to activate.

I'm pretty tempted to go back to build 6, unless anyone can suggest fixes for these issues.

As an aside, the adaptive screen mode that's enabled by default is very nearly as annoying as the wrong pixel density setting build 6 came with, it's incredibly disconcerting to see that little outline around everything, as if it were being sharpened or - and this worried me - as if the screen were suffering weird power problems.

My apologies if this is in the wrong place, I couldn't find any slim-specific forums or threads... No doubt I am lazy and should not have given up after five minutes, I am sorry.

Hi, i have the same problems with:

- media scanner (this goes on since i have the phone, even on the stock rom - The phone turnes off several times during the day. It can only be turned on again by removing and inserting the battery. After every unwanted shutdown, the battery level drops from 10%-40%. Media scanner shows itself in the battery usage as a major consumer.)

Hi ivisko!

I don't have a freezing problem, but the sharpness issue was easily solved - some guys in the slim IRC channel helped me.

Settings / advanced (near the bottom) / screen / Scenario -> set it to CyanogenMod (Default) and the problem goes away.

As for the battery life / media scanner, that was easy but time consuming. Simply remove all your media (in my case MP3 files) and the scanner has nothing to scan. Then start putting them back in chunks until you find one the scanner doesn't like. In my case I had a few files with some bad IDv3 tags, and the scanner just finds them and goes infinite.
