I do nightly backups with Titanium Backup, then I use FolderSync to copy everything to my computer before I wake.

I do periodic nandroid backups as image.zip files, rename them to include the date, and sync them with my computer using FolderSync.

I save apks separate from data, and never delete them. I only keep the last few ROM images (probably not more than five copies).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] purudaya:
Argh, I unfortunately already flashed to cm10.1 or I would have just done a new backup. I've already configured everything and so I'd hate to have to flash stock, make a new backup, then flash back to cm... Would the method I described still work as an alternative?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0xScott:
If you have enough storage, you could backup your current CM ROM, restore the other one, back it up with compression, delete the uncompressed ROM and restore your new CM backup.

Now that you've loaded a different ROM, just move it off the phone, zip it in windows, and leave it on your computer.

If you ever want to restore, unzip it and move it back to your phone.

It'll either work or it won't. You're not going to mess anything up with a bad zip. Just don't use any WinZip proprietary options when you zip.

Mort,

Is it possible to add a way to select some applications that bypass mortsaver when the pda wakeup?

I have activated the option to start mortsaver at power on and switch it after 5 seconds if the hardware button to disable it is not pressed. I see that the scheduled backup of sprite backup when wakeup to perform the operation are not able to do it because after 5 seconds mortsaver switch off the system.

I have problem also with ptravelalarm when wakeup to alarm!

I know that is possible to disable power off switch (to use only screen off) in mortsaver and use the system power off time to switch off the pda, but i have to select it to 1 min and i prefer to don't use this way...

Any solution that i don't see?!?!

[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
ok well took my phone to sprint store because i was having a rattling sound in it when u would do like a quick jerk or movement with it...

well they did what ever it was they wanted to i guess and brought it back out to me no more rattle ...

left their and on my way back home I noticed that the background wasnt the same on my lockscreen so i started going through the phone and c they have flashed my phone back to stock...

Ok still no biggie i can just root it and unlock it again well i go to use the play store it says network unavailable..

well i go to network settings and do the usuall checking and making sure roaming and data and all that is on wich it was but the roaming...

I go to see n make sure im still on sprint maybe thats y its no data... whell guess what its not it says chameleon...

whell what the hell is the first thing that comes out my mouth and laughing.. gf says what so funny i said look my phone says im on a chameleon n we both busted out laughing in the store...

well i got home and still no data so i called sprint and we went through the normal trouble shooting and phone restoring procedure..

Those procedires didnt get data to work either so they had me do a ##SCRTN# and after restart they had me do a manual programing, wich still didnt get data to work.

So last thing that they had me do was ##RTN# and once again did manual programming,and of course still no go no data..

After the "advanced tech support guy" came back on the phone he started urgently repeating and emphisizing take the phone the store or where it was i purchased it at.... so monday i gotta call and get a new phone shipped to me since this one is only a week old...

IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET MY PHONE WORKING AGAIN,AND WHAT DID THEY DO TO IT ?:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spatel9114:
I wouldn't worry about it too much if they're giving you a new phone.. but the whole situation sounds pretty shady..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Im not worried since they replacing it but i still would like to know how it happened and is their a way to fix it incase my retardo kicks in and dont pay attention to what ever it is i was doing...

whats shady me, or what?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ji:
easy fix...

1. install nova launcher

2. with nova launcher now set as launcher hold on homescreen to create new shortcut.

3. select new short cut > activities.

4. scroll down the list until you see "Update Device"... click update device then look for a "Branding" submenu.

5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.

6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"

Confirmed working in both ZV9 and ZVB.

From autoprime

Or just lgnpst to zv9 then do a ota to zvb

Oh and on my old galaxy s 2 when sprint was finishing they forgot to plug in the lcd power *sigh*...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Ive went all the way back to zv7 and worked back up to latest. Its no longer saying chameleon as its net work ... it back to sprint and im able to talk n text sms.... still havent figured out the data side of things,any suggestions or input?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ji:
try a profile and prl update
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Yep tried that a billion times to ... i give up on it lol...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ji:
Hmm try flashing a rom sometimes the baseband loves to **** me over as well :P

If that doesnt work hop on irc and ask
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Rabbiddog:
Hmm, maybe this has been my problem the whole time. I've had my OG since earlier this year and it has always listed "Chameleon" as the network but I never thought anything about it. My issue though, is even though I am in a high 4G coverage zone, I rarely get 4G. I can force it to connect to 4G (using an app I found) and it will connect with full bars, but it will drop back to 3G in like 5 minutes.

I'll have to try the fix rockh11 posted. Does the phone need to be rooted to run that fix?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ji:
Lgnpst I think so unlock the bootloader and root it just to be on the safe side

Nova launcher no need for root i think

prl and profile no.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dmcaylor:
Try doing prl/profile updates via wifi. Alternatively, just wait. I've seen sprint take 2-3 days before data will come back after a reset. I had one blow up when traveling and support convinced me I would have to take it back once I returned to town. Woke up 2 days later an everything was working fine.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Yea tried that to still no data lol... i went into debug menu and it says an-aaa pending... idk if matters or not ....

Hello.

I have been using BB9 for a couple of weeks. I am pretty happy with it, and other than a couple of things I do not yet understand (how to put every app on the SD card is the main one), we're getting along great. I am curious, though, when I read about installing a new rom (make nandroid, wipe phone, install new rom and new gapps), if the gapps file is unique to every rom, or if I can use the gapps already installed for multiple roms? I want to try Paranoid Android and AOIP. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
99% of the time the gapps package is universal amongst roms. just make sure to get the right version for the roms you are installing so 4.2, 4.1 4.0 gapps are all different
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Proud2banoob:
thanks. the BB9 i am using now is 4.2, so i should be ok. Looking forward to getting into this.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Hello guys...

Earlier today, i decided to remove my SD Card when i realize theres a weird hump on my back cover... When i remove it, i was quite shocked to see my battery ALMOST off the Place where u put the battery on.. I got quite scared and imagined what would happen if this continues... (Explosions) Every time, i Force FastCharge ON when i plug on to the wall charger to charge.. Yes it does charge faster but i don't exactly know if that is the real problem or.not... I also wanted to buy a new battery but since i live in Singapore, there aren't as much shops that sells accesories for the Galaxy Wonder. So are there any solutions on how to debloat a battery or smth :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
how old is ur battery btw? ur phone will not function well and its very annoying, coz it won't last long. the fact that it's already bloated, just replace it asap coz it may dmg ur phone. idk know if it's related to fast charge thing, but same thing happened to my battery a few months ago using fast charge (usb charging only).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saintsoh:
google search, there r a lot of cheap battery for sgw but whether its reliable or not is questionable.

oem battery in sillypore cost S$58/pc @ samsung service centre.

i was looking for one a few months ago, found a compatible battery at www.battery.com.sg but out of luck was not in stock.

i think they should have stock by now, they have a shop at sim lim square on the second floor (closed on sunday).

i dun know the price, i presume it will be cheaper than oem and have better power @ 1800mAh. :good:

Believe it or not, its just 5 more mnths to my phones birthday... Well, without YTing and Gaming, it lasted a 2-3hrs straight full charge :o

### ThankQSirArco ###
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
I don't trust sim lim tbh and are you sure its genuine and not fake batteries?

### ThankQSirArco ###
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saintsoh:
u have three options;

1) buy oem battery.

2) buy from battery.com compatible battery (fake or not).

3) buy from web site (all made-in-china, some claims >2000mah but same size which r not possible. reliability in question).

your choices, oem or fakes.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Bro, I bought a netbook from Sim Lim and my dad used it for 6 years and we only had to put a reserve battery... I think you are safe. Singapore is a clean country after all. Anyway, the Samsung shops sell the batteries at 55 bucks so I just bought one non-original one from a pasar malam, which is supposedly made to last for 6-7 months. This is my second month using it and I don't see any problems... good luck bro and brofist to a fellow Singaporean...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kabychow:
Haha I dont think Malaysia's pasar malam are selling phone battries, (there are selling delicious food :p) I bought a new battery last 3 month and I buy from "komsat", its cheap and original, I dont know Singapore got or not but I hope I helped you :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Oo I've been to Malaysia many times but not to the pasar malams... anyway I don't think there is any komsat in Singapore, but thanks anyway :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Hmm, a few Kilometres from my house, i think i saw "pasar malam" ... maybe i go have a try! :D btw, any info bout the price there? Thanks in advance :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Pretty cheap, can get from 15-35 bucks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
As I posted already many times. Do not use FastCharge. Those batteries are designed to be charged with about 0.7C max. Which means 0.7 x capacity. So for the SGW this means 0.7 x 1500 = 1050mA max. Faster charging will kill the battery sooner or later.

So yes, it will get bloated also. The same way like stressing it a lot at heavy usage.

And this is also the reason I do not enable FastCharge in my kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
:o oh my... Okay, 1 thing, what happens if FastCharge is Ticked but the battery isn't charging? And what will happen if the battery can't hold it? Will it.explode? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
When it´s not charging nothing should happen, but if it´s charging and the battery can´t hold it then yes, the battery can explode. It will build gases inside the battery till the case can´t hold them and they evaporate as a big bang. This can even happen after the charging.

Some years ago I´ve seen some pics made by a rather mature man whose phone exploded in his hand. His hand was in half between the middle fingers. The kitchen full of blood. He made the pics with the other hand and I guess he was under shock while doing them, so he didn´t feel the pain.

So better charge it normal. This is better for you and your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Why would he take a pic... anyway, heed what honeyx says and get a new one and charge it normally.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I was woundering too. It was not just one pic but several pics. But well he made some and posted them in a forum with the whole story. Just can think of he made them to sue the company he got the phone from in the first place and finally also posted them to warn others to what can happen.

About a week ago there was also something about a girl in the tv news whos smartphone exploded in her pocket due to a overheating battery. The litium burned into the skin and she needs the skin to be transplanted.

It´s simply not worth to deal with fast charging and bloated batteries. Batteries, phones, cars or houses. Everything of them can be replaced but health can not.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] awtsoon:
I believe phone shop in Johor got selling Wonder battery :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
UPDATE: funnily, the phone started to give false info abt the battery for some reasons.. Like, when its 65%, it auto shutdown and then i have to start it back up and was shocked to find it 1% and well, shutdown again... Is this normal for this kind of battry?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Normally, a recalibration should fix it... But it won't fix your battery bloating issue obviously...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Please not again about recalibration and /or whiping battery stats. They get whiped on each reboot and so also the battery gets recalibrated. Calibrating is nothing more than collecting statistics about which app you launched how often. The background processes and so on. And this all is collected in the battery stats which gets overwritten on each reboot so you see the current statistics in settings-> battery.

Oh well then your battery is already toast. I´m having here some old Li-Po batteries for flashlights which are doing the same. Charging like normal but doing 5 minutes max. Some even can´t do for just 1 minute. They are just paperweights now.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saintsoh:
yeap, ur battery is toasted/goner, its time for a new battery.

my battery went south. senses something not right when playing game, suddenly shutdown.

fully charge, play game, it discharged in a few minutes. lasted about year n a half.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Hmm, maybe i'm just crazy, but why not place the battery into the fridge or smth so the battery can Contract due to cold? And since the bloat has gases inside too :rolleyes::D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saintsoh:
in common rechargeable/acidic battery, reverse electrical charging disulphide restore back to healthy storing state.

in bloated case, it can be cell rupture? restoring is impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Doesn´t make really sense. Ok the gases will contract a bit at lower temperatures but will expose again at normal temps. You will not be able to revert the demage by simply freezing it. There were chemical processes who caused the demage due to thermal processes but lowering the temperature doesn´t revert these chemical processes. Just is slowing down the speed of all chemical processes.

On the other hand Lithium and water is an explosive mixture. The water particles in the air will condensate on your battery and may cause a short circuit. The short circuit alone can make the battery explode and when this happens the explosion will melt a lot of ice in your frindge.

So well if the lithium comes into contact with the melted ice, better don´t ask me what will happen.

But well if you are tired of your life, you can try of course.

I simply don´t get it. WHY in the hell are you getting such ideas? WHY are you willing to do such experiments, risking your health and maybe even life? Is this all worth it to save a bit money you would have to spend for a new battery? They are already dirt cheap and if you want it even cheaper, Order them directly from China. Shouldn´t take long to be shipped from there to Singapore.

I´m having here 2 of the golden ultra-cheap ones. Got 2 for 10 Euro. So each of them cost me just 5 Euro. They are not that good like Samsung batteries, but for this money I don´t care. Ordered them in UK and the seller itself is getting them somwhere from china. So probably he is paying 2 euros for each.

Honestly. even such an ultra-cheap battery is much better than what you are trying to do to bring your bloated battery back to life.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Sheesh, calm down... he's just curious... of another alternative compared to buying a battery for 35 bucks. All singaporeans are like that. Well, I'm telling you Titan, there's no alternative. You have to buy a new battery.!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Yes I remember you told me they are expencive in Singapore :) But how about getting them from China? It´s not that far away like from there to Europe, so the shipping times should be quite accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Shipping is the thing... I dunno if he would ship a 10 grams worth of an unoriginal battery. A bit of a hassle, ain't it? I dunno, let's leave Titan to the decision. Don't mind me asking though, honeyx, but where are you from?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Well, i'm just trying to be a "cheapo" here cos' i'm still young to have a credit card for shipments and i'm still digging my piggy bank to get a new battery which may take a while or mnths so i just want to know whether theres alt solution to solve this issue which the ans is REPLACE a new battery... Hope u understand honeyx :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saintsoh:
u can get a debit card from any bank in sillypore as long as u got money in ur account.

its free, no subscription charge and can use it to pay thru paypal.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I´m from Germany. But regarding shipping the size and the weight doesn´t matter. I recently ordered a TEC (thermo electric cooler) which is just a quite bit bigger than a finger nail directly from China. Shipping was free. It´s just the shipping time from there to Germany is a kind of lottery. At best it may take a week and its here but at worst it can take one or even two months to arrive. Therefore a lot of people here prefer to buy from a local dealer and pay more if it´s urgent and they are not willing to wait.

The point is Germany is quite far away from China. When you are lucky your ordered item gets shipped via an airplane and you get it within a few days but if you are not lucky it will be transported on a ship which will take some weeks till it arrives to you.

However Singapore isn´t that far away like Germany is, so even if it gets send by a ship, it should arrive in a really accurate time to you.

And just by the way. You can also order Samsung batteries from there and it will cost you for sure also less than buying it directly in Singapore. The cheapo battery or the TEC is just an example.

I understand you very well :) I´m also the first one who will try to fix someting rather than to replace it, even if I´m having the money for the replacement. But regarding Lithium Ion batteries there is really no fun in doing experiments with it. Lithium is a highly reactive element. It reacts in contact with water like a bomb. It can even start to burn in contact with your sweat on your skin and then burn till to your bones. It behaves like Phosphate in contact with air. I´ve seen Lithium exploding and how much demage just a little piece if it caused. So belive me when I´m saying it´s not worth the risk.

Well about buying from China. You can find a lot of cheap batteries on Ebay being shipped from there, but also Samsung batteries. You can take a look how much they are asking, create a Paypal account and for example ask your parents to charge it with the amount of money needed to buy one.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:

Okay, i'm thinking of buying a battery from battery.com.sg (later post mentioned)... If not, from shops :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eri000:
Hey honeyx

I heard it is better for Lithium batteries to do short charges ..so not letting it drop low and charging it fully, but for example:

it drops to 80% you charge it to 90% and unplug and so on.

Is this true ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Heard of it. But not exactly that way ofc. From what i heard, dont just let your battery drop to 0% and recharge it straight (forgot those reasons lols). Just let it discharge to about 25%(???) Then start rechargin' it :)

Is there anyone out there that could lend there skills at themeing the S Planner and S Memo apps? I like suing both apps but am not a fan of the beige on brown color scheme they chose to use for both these apps. I find it especially odd that the widget for S Planner is nice and bright with green trim while the app is a skeuomorphic mess.

Even better, if someone could point me to a guide for themeing apps (specifically system apps) so that I can learn, I would do the work myself and be more than happy to share with the community.
