If you're keen to continue with the troubleshooting of the heating issues, there's another possibility...

my s3 is having heating issues as well only when i'm using large 'hosts' file to block the ads.

wondering if i'm right about this, every URL request go through the list in the hosts file before it goes to your provider DNS,

try to imaging if most of the URL that you're request is not within the list, and the host file size is about 8mb.

will this take a lots of CPU effort to process when you're surfing internet? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattiadj:
I'm using ad free to block ads. How can I check the size of host file and fix this problem if I have it?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulim717:
no need to check for the size, disable the ad free and see if your heating issues still persist.

in case you want to check, it's located in /etc/hosts

So I tweeted in the Twitter contest held by Swiftkey in which 3 winners were chosen. I placed 2nd and won a SwiftKey shirt and a Moshi case. My name and city will be on their blog soon, lol.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RanceJustice:
Hello all. I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on how to extract an .obb file so that one can edit the contents. In my other thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2373834 ) where I was trying to figure out a way to activate the Japanese vocal track in Final Fantasy IV with the game's locale in the US/English. I've hit an impasse as I've been able to deduce that the Google play version of the game (which seems to have a 15mb .apk, and a 400+mb .obb ) retains the Japanese audio track but only plays it in conjunction with JP text if the Android locale/language is Japanese. Thus, I figure that somewhere in that .obb there will be the JP audio track file which I can copy over the English audio track file and thereby access Japanese audio w/ English text since SquareEnix didn't give us the option for some god-awful reason.

However, the only way this can work is if I can get into that .obb file! I saw links elsewhere on the forum suggesting that all I had to do was rename the .obb to a .zip or .rar, and then use 7zip or WinRAR to open it, but attempts with both programs and numerous file types (.zip, .rar , .tar etc..) all report that the file is not an archive and thus cannot be opened. This is different from the .apk file, which easily seems to (upon rename to zip) unveil its secrets with 7zip extraction. So, does anyone know a program or method necessary to unpack/extract/read/edit an .obb file besides the simple archive rename? Is there some Android development program or function?

I'd very much appreciate any insight into how to unpack/edit an .obb file! Thanks!

Anyone? Can't seem to find any data on this, especially anything sounding remotely reliable, on other sites...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
Have you tried 7 zip?? I am also looking to extract it for in game music lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RanceJustice:
I have attempted to extract it with 7zip, but to no avail. It says it cannot extract it as an archive. I'd still love to figure out how to do so, to swap around the vocals, but sadly without unpacking the .obb somehow it doesn't seem possible. I am guessing that by the name "opaque binary blob", these are intended to be difficult to unpack/decrypt etc... though perhaps some are easier than others. Are .obb s created via some sort of encrypting process? compiling? both?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
Yeah they are encrypted because some open with 7zip like Aspault 8 and other likes NFS Most wanted they in the APK file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathracelord:
Hi, did you ever find the solution to this problem? I myself am trying to open the same obb file(to fix the stupid "Load Captain" typo at the start). I have decompiled the apk but am at a loss as to what I should do next. I originally tried dumping the obb file using Jobb, but received a "magic key does not match" error, which leads me to believe it's not a standard archive. The only place I can think of looking is in the .so file, but I'm not sure if I have the patience to sift through all of it.... Keep us posted on any developments, thanks to anyone who can help!

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

A quick search through the apk yields only one result to the string .obb, in the 'DLActivity.class' file.

static String a()
{
String str = DLActivity.class.getPackage().getName();
return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/Android/obb/" + str + "/main." + 131 + "." + str + ".obb";
}

Now considering the actual name of the obb file is "main.131.com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIV_GP.obb" we seem to be on the right track...

I will keep experimenting, let's keep this thread alive!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8man202:
[MENTION=5118985]RanceJustice[/MENTION] it's pointless to swap English audio with Japanese if you can't even understand it. If you can understand it then you should buy the Japanese version. IMO FF4 is better w/o any voices as both the ENG and JPN are medicore.

[MENTION=4069714]jetbruceli[/MENTION] the game uses AAC streamed audio nothing special, the music is pre-recorded and you can buy it for $7. You want Final Fantasy IV DS Original Soundtrack.

If your talking based simply on hardware specs I would throw a vote towards the Nexus 7. I have found Samsung devices less likely to be able to play high end games because devs don't seem to give love the the Xynos processor they use.

Im sorry to bother with this, its probably been asked many times, but after navigating through hundreds of pages I find myself even more lost than when I started.

To disable androcharger (blk_jacks modded supercharger) just flash the aroma installer and choose to disable androcharger, this won't reflash the ROM unless you tell it to do so, just replaces the patched services.jar.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] olyd88:
Hello, i'm new here , i have already done some searching but i didnt found any direct solution for my problem.

Phone Information;

My Phone: Neo V 2.3.6 Gingerbread

*Rooted [17 months ago]

*Installed CWM (ver 5.0.XX) via flashtool [14 months ago]

*Created a full backup via CWM [6 days ago]

*Unlocked Bootloader Officially [4 days ago]

*I downloaded CM 9.1 haida.zip, copied the zip into my SD card, and copied boot.img to pc, after that i flashed the boot.img to my phone in fastboot mode.

*Plugged off the USB cable and switch on my phone, I pressed volume down to get into CWM, now it shows CWM Ver 6.XXX, I wiped all data/reset, as what i have read before installing custom rom, then i go to install zip from SD card, found the CM 9.1 haida.zip and installed it successfully. [note: I did not do backup because i remember i had done a backup before with CWM ver 5.0.XXX]

*Rebooted the phone and viola i'm now in CM 9.1

Problem;

I want to go back to previous stock rom and with the backup[2.3.6 rooted and unlocked bootloader stock rom] still in the SD card i go into CWM mode and i did reset and wipe all data, then i go to backup and restore, restored it successfully but when i boot up the phone, it shows only the Free Xperia Project at all.

I dont have idea on how to restore the backup again so that i can use previous stock rom again. This make me think if i previously make boot.img for the current stock rom with all data in zip, and save to another pc, i wouldnt be in this problem. because i can flash it at anytime i want. But now i only have the backup from previous CWM 5.0.xxx, not the current CWM 6.xx.xxx.

I have downloaded two stock rom for Neo V uploaded by some people here to mediafire but, i'm not sure if i can restore the backup to it, because the backup included my rooted settings, clockworkmod, etc.

So the question is I WANT THE BACKUP TO BE RESTORED, no matter what version 2.3.6 or 2.3.1 etc because i need some important data and contacts inside of it. Anyone willing to help me? thanks:o

p/s; Does the Backup contain boot.img for installation?:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
Yes the issue is due to boot.img not been backed up... And the gb rom can't boot on a fxp kernel... You can try flashing a gb kernel like night elf and restore backup... Or reflash stock gb rom... Root install cwm and restore the backup...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] olyd88:
Thanks for the reply, i will try it soon.I think stock gb rom are more safe to try, just the small work to root and cwm only. I hope the backup will be accepted by the system but i guess i will face some kind of error like MD5 mismatch error, but its okay i know how to face that problem. Will post the progress soon.;)

Finally, i got it to work again!:D

With Trial and Error attempt because the battery charge is empty and i had to connect/disconnect the USB cable many times until the blue led [fastboot] comes out.

Flashed Night Elf kernel and installed the backup successfully ;)

So got my new baby, and I love the stock Android UI.

But I got issue connecting to LTE networks here in Germany. A friend of mine bought it in the US store and sent it over to Germany. 3G no problem, but LTE isn't working.

I checked the tech specs, and it says 4G LTE (700, 850, AWS, 1900 MHz). Here in Germany T-Mobile is using Band 3 (1800 Mhz) and Band 20 (800 Mhz) So there is the culprit.

Is this a hardware restriction, or could be solved via software? Maybe flashing a different baseband?

Unfortunatly on the Phone Info screen, you cannot change the GSM/UMTS band. The list is empty. It worked on my Nexus 4 though...
