[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanluckez:
I think both plays in different leagues. The Xperia SP is a powerful mid to high-range phone and Galaxy Express has specs more closer to a Galaxy S2. I think the experience could be better over Sony's one and it will be more futureproof due to an amazing Adreno 320. But you know what future means here, maybe just one year.

Cheers!

Battery life on the SP is pretty good. Way better than my last phone. Was walking the dogs the other day for a couple hours with mp3s playing and it only used 2%.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonno92:
I have had my S3 for over a year and love it but it's starting to get slow and lag/become unresponsive randomly for no reason so I think it's time for an upgrade.

I'm not sure what I should upgrade to. I was thinking either the Galaxy S4 or a Note. Not sure if the Note will be too big, so I'm going to have a look at one tomorrow at the shops.

Is the S4 a big improvement from the S3? How does the note compare? Anything else I should look at?

I only really use my phone for work (lots of calls, emails and messages) and of course for Candy Crush! I also use the camera a fair bit for work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks

Android v 4.1.2

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joker87:
Hi guys,

I own a S3 and for one year I just dealed with the stock ROM, just root access. Saturday I decided to enter the modding world but I knew it would bring a lot of troubles...

I did a nandroid backup of 4.1.2 stock FW just before the flashing, but no way it restores, after an hour of processing it shows - Error restoring data! - it boots but it's a total mess. I even restored the original stock FW with triangle away, wipe all and double ODIN flash and then reflashing the clockworkmod recovery to restore the backup again but nope, won't work.

Luckily I did a full backup with Titanium backup prior, the real trouble is with ES file explorer: I did copy/paste of the entire internal storage to the external microsd but for some reasons it stopped at "D", "Downloads" folder... I lost everything else and I realized this only AFTER wiping and flashing, of course...

I'm trying to recover the files with Hexamob, hope this will work....

I have this two questions:

Does Nandroid work only with backup < 2.5 Gb? Mine is 4.5 Gb...

Does Nandroid backup the internal storage, too??

Thank you all guys
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
If I am not wrong, Nandroid does a backup of your phone (system, data etc) so that when you restore it, you got anything like it was. It does not backup the SD card though. In addition backups of over 2.5gb should work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joker87:
/data is the internal memory? Or is it /sdcard?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
its all the internal memory.

/system

/data

/cache

...are all on the emmc memory and are backed up in a nandroid backup.

/sdcard is actually a mount of /data/media, however this is ignored by nandroid backups for obvious reasons
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joker87:
So /sdcard is the

external microsd

? And /data is the internal memory (I mean what you see when connecting phone to PC, Internal memory and external sd)?

If nandroid backed up internal memory would be great, may be there's some way to recover datas from backup files (unyaffs won't work, Titanium Backup just shows apps and their datas).

I'll do some further research.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
no. sdcard is the internal SD, which is just a link to /data/media. to backup it, use copy and paste. no, it's not possible to recover internal SD data from a nandroid backup
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Be aware that Nandroid does not backup your EFS .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
it can. depends on the recovery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yep i know problem is that some think any recovery backs up EFS .

Wrong recovery no EFS backup .

We desperately need some stickied faqs and guides on this forum .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
/sdcard is the "internal sd"

/extSdCard is the "external sd"

/data is something different that just so happens to be the home of /sdcard
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joker87:
As I feared, no internal storage backup in Nandroid. But what makes me more angry is that s****y ES file explorer so crappy it can't even perform a simple task like copy-paste. If that worked I wouldn't have lost anything. :crying:

Not to mention the useless nandroid... doesn't work either.

However I did manually backed up the EFS folder, but I don't really think it matters in this case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If your /sdcard was 90% full, where would the nandroid go? External obviously? But recovery devs cannot assume that everyone has an external sd card with enough free space to store a 15 GB backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toomfly7:
Just clarifying

Hey guys, this is my first ever post on xda!

Just to clarify, a nandroid backup will only backup device root files, and not the (internal) sdcard, nor the extsdcard files, from my understanding of this thread. So to do a complete backup of ALL phone data, I should perform the nandroid backup to extsdcard, and then simply copy (internal)sdcard and extsdcard to my computer for safe keeping?

Thank you!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] newkid39:
you can probably solve this by installing the official rom all over again or install a custom rom from the development section..

as per my knowledge you cant get back your lockscreen
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SquiffyGrain6:
If you have actually rooted your phone, I think it is the best to find the same version of android you were using, either custom roms or stock android and just flash it. If you can find the same version, there is no need to wipe data, but backup it anyway, in case something goes wrong.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhashim6:
mmmmm i think ICS Lockscreen depends on framework !

any way flash any custom rom . or your stock one again
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Chop!:
Hi Guys,

I bought 4 x 1gb SD cards from aria.com, 1 is a sandisk & the others are extreMemory< I was told it was a good, cheap place to get SDs. I then had endless problems with TomTom, changed my XDA II thru my insurance. It then transpires that the problem is the cheaper Chinese made cards. I told Aria about the problem but no reply so far. I would not recommend Aria as a source of SD disks for your XDAs
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
There are more threads here and on www.pocketgpsworld.co.uk on this subject.

The problem is with the stability of the card during high data-transfer rates. Some people claim high-speed cards are more stable, but I have never seen a test that proves that. Besides: High speed cards are more expensive. Keep in mind that the data transfer rate a Pocket PC (incl the HTC devices) uses is MUCH lower than the speeds the high-speed cards (claim to) work on.

I have used a chinese card (ExtreMemory) that had excelent speed (read) ratings. I performed not half as good as my much slower Kingston card.

Thus: The problem is with stability, not with speed.

Conclusion (not too subtle):

1. Never use chinese made (general: non japan/usa made) cards

2. Never use Sandisk, they're only good for digital camera's

3. Toshiba is reasonable good (ie. Kingston is one of the brands that use Toshiba manufactured cards), but do expect some lock-ups during high data-transfer rates

4. Panasonic made cards are said to be VERY good but hard to find & expensive

5. Lexar (usa made) are said to be VERY good and very affordable

just my 2 cents . . .
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Anton.Valleyman:
I have a Lexar high speed 1GB USA - made card, and I get frequent lockups in TomTom and the like.

Very annoying despite several attempts at reformating the card etc. Would a different choice of format (ie FAT, FAT32 etc) be worth considering?

Cheers

Ant
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Griffy wiffy:
I use a 1GB PNY card from misco (UK) and have no problems at all. TOMTOM works fine and has never locked up. I run all games from the card also and have had no problems.. :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
Could you post the details of these (Lexar and PNY) cards, incl the imprints on the back-side?

Unfortunately just the brand does not say it all.

I am very suprised on your results with the Lexar. I was just looking for a cheap shop to buy one myself, maybe have to reconsider . . .
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] pleun:
I use a Sandisk 1GB with no problems ! TT3 together with mp3's playing from Austria to Holland, not one lockup.......
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] kkamel:
I used both Sandisk and Lexar 1Gb. Pocket Mechanic Benchmark showed that Lexar is 5 times faster than Sandisk and much more stable. I sometimes faced unavailable card with Sandisk and rarly with Lexar.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bakerk:
I have a US purchased Lexar 1GIG and it locks up frequently with Tomtom ..I have resorted to using my 512 Meg Viking card instead and it is now very reliable.

I believe the Vikings are actually Kingston cards

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Phone:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawraj:
Even I am looking for this. I have whatsapp on two numbres. One is running on bluestacks on my pc the other on my phone. Both have the same contacts and almost the same groups. But there are many that I only a member of on the PC. I want to avoid asking the admin to add my new numbers in al those groups. So I was looking for a way to merge it.

Bluestacks is really taking a lot of RAM and CPU power so I have decided to use Web.whatsapp on chrome. My main intention of using bluestacks was to be able to save pictures to my PC without having to connect my phone to the PC.

I saw another guy do with with the Web whatsapp extentinos easily.

Now I know I can just change my number on the phone to the one I was using on Bluestacks.

What I am not sure is how will it merge my account.

I know that I can change number. But I fear if I change the number then Whatsapp will overwrite my new account with the old account settings.

If someone could confirm that does not happen and it actually merges both groups and friends then I could go ahead and do that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xardus:
hi there,i have just a little question for who have more experience than me

exactly whats the difference between the 2 rom style?

yeah i know that there are lots of differences but my question was born because yesterday i finally decided to try a google edition rom cos i see that there are much more builders for google than the classic tw

the only reason i find its because its very very light ,doesnt have all samsung programs different setting (lol i thought i come back to my old Leo hd2 ) but i also noticed that all sensors dsnt work (if they work im so sorry but i kept only 10 min google edition cos i prefere the stock look)

so..considering this i dont understand why google edition has so many fan for me its look a sort of downgrade but i suppose there are benefits that i dont see or dont understand on my own

i dont want cause flames ;) so give ur opinion or facts its the same its just to talk about

ps: sorry for english i always write without read what i wrote :P
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSpiceGuy:
For me there are some reasons to use the GE:

1) It isn't that huge and hasn't these samsung features i never used cause they are all a bit buggy.

2) No Bloatware

3) I love the Vanilla look

4) I get minimum +1 hour Screen On time, so its much more battery friendly

5) much more smoother and faster (Antutu Benachmarks of +2000)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoni1980:
There are plenty of videos online directly comparing the two. Basically though, if you find Touchwiz ugly and irritating but like the S4 hardware then Google Edition ROMs/hardware are a godsend. The hardware does all work on the Google Editions as far as I know but there is no TV app and (obviously) no gesture based commands on Google Edition devices. This doesn't mean there aren't third party apps to cover most needs though. Unlike the old days of Cyanogenmod building from AOSP (which resulted in crap quality photos) the difference is negligible between TW and GE ROMs in terms of the output; though if you like the TW camera app the stock Google one might seem very basic.

Personally I can't wait for a means of converting my S4 to a 'real' Google Edition with OTA updates as I hate the very IDEA of all that gimmicky TouchWiz crap existing on my phone. I'm currently running the ODIN flashable version of GE which I've had no problems with as of the past few days.

I also own an HTC One so it would be tough living in a Touchwiz only world with an S4 when I have Sense 5 next to it. My One running pure, stock Sense 5.0 and I love it so it's not that I'm a fan of stock Android as such, I just think Samsung are clueless when it comes to nice design. Now with my S4 running Google Edition it is very hard choosing between the two devices!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xardus:
1) but with a nice extSD many space problem are resolved...i dont use my phone as an ipod so i dont have music files,only big games but coming from hd2 with ext4rom partittion have 4 or 5 gb free its incredible hehehehe of course my sd is full of roms and some ps1 rom for the emulator (im playing again all my old final fantasy and its AWSOME)

2) i still dont know what is it so i cant say nothing lol

3) nothing to say its personal

4) so its really longer than tw? i read there was many battery problems expecialli for 4.3 but also in 4,2.2 that can be very nice for me

5) i didnt see that...looks pretty the same but with antuntu i get 400point less than the omega rom v7 (no overclock or strange things)

aniway...i dont see much bugs in samsung apps...i kept the stock rom for 1 month and was perfect,the same for omega

i like have lots of stupid stuffs from samsung like the temperature and humidity sensor (just to say : hahaha ur phone cant do it )

i think when samsung will release the Api for the new sensors will be better because we have theme...why dont find a way to use better than samsung let u do?

another thing...i tested only 1 google rom but...multiwindow isnt present right? its very usefull when i want to play and girlfriend wants to talk on whatsaap so she see me always online heheheheh
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSpiceGuy:
Bloatware: useless installed apps from Samsung you can't delete (ofc with root you can) cause of this and more Samsung Roms are more than 1GB big, GE just 300+MB

The Battery from 4.3 was terrible but the 4.2.2 (Jamal's v9) is awesome!

"i like have lots of stupid stuffs from samsung like the temperature and humidity sensor (just to say : hahaha ur phone cant do it )"

> Works on GE, too.

".multiwindow isnt present right?"

Nope, these are Samsung features i meant in 1). Never used them, like Smart Pause etc.

Hi there, I have a problem.

Yesterday afternoon I updated my tablet P6200 Odin v1.85 to version 4.1.2 CSC: SER, and I found the problems regarding the wifi connection.

The tablet tries to connect to it by inserting the credentials I get "saved, protected" and does not connect to the network.

I tried to change WEP WPA WPA2 none, no solution.

I tried to restart / reset the router to its initial settings without solution.

I tried to assign a static address, no solution.

I've tried changing the transmission channel of the router (eg 2, 3, 6, 8), no solution.

I tried to use the application WiFix manager, no solution.

I do not know what to do.

- P6200XXMF1_P6200OXEMF2_P6200XXMC3_HOME.tar.md5 is the firmware version 4.1.2 Russia

- DSL-G624T is the code for the D-link router.

The problem may be that the CSC does not match?! (Russia vs Italy -> SER vs ITV)

Any Idea?

There is a known issue with Samsung JB and DLINK routers, that did happen on S3 and S4, but it seems that the good ol' GTP will share the same fate
