Hi, I just registered cause I had the same problem and I wanted to help, did you installed twrp? I did, and then supersu but I was stuck at boot, then I got internal storage says 0mb, so I tried wiping data, didn't work I got some problem wiping cache, then I tried format data, it succeed, then I tried wiping data again, succeeded also, then I rebooted and I can use it again! :D I hope that works for you too.

please help!

I did the same thing unfortunately. It would be amazing if any of you could dedicate time to upload a nandroid image. Now I'm stuck on the Google logo, with a blank system partition! I have TWRP, though. Tried grouper factory images, didn't work (obviously!). Please help!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] phuduong:
Do not use grouper images. It's brick your toy.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisxxx:
I have had a galaxy s3 mini since release, imported it from Europe and notice that when the phone is using edge (E) it has very slow speeds from 50-150 kbps , if i put the sim card into a galaxy 1 speeds are around 1000kbps. When i put it in wcdma only the h speeds are fine.

Anyone use this phone in canada on rogers?

Is rogers able to limit speed on non rogers phones ?

Any ideas about flashign radio or anything?

Thank you!

:confused:
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheephog:
Well i am neither in canada nor on rogers but my opinion is that;

They "could" limit your speed as they can identify your device, but to be honest i doubt they would do that, its not in their interest, its not as though it could have adverse effects on their network

EDGE speeds are typically quite low (around the speeds you stated) so i don't see a problem, just don't use EDGE if you don't have to
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisxxx:
I suspect my galaxy is actually going into hsdpa 850mhz and my phone is missing 850mhz hsdpa and has 900 hsdpa which is causing the problem as its not accessing the 850 hsdpa. At home my wcdma coverage is not great.

I guess im going to have to see if I can change or enable my phone for 850 hsdpa.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Nbsss:
The following are two ram optimising scripts that actually do something. They will ensure a fluid experience by keeping a minimum of 100mb of ram free. Simple as that.

STEPS:

Download zip and extract files "boost" and "freeram".

On the tablet , use a root file manager

Paste files in /system/bin (system needs to be re-writable obviously)

Set permissions to rwxr--r--

Activate scripts manually after every boot using android terminal emulator:

1) free ram (to see ram usage)

2) su

3) freeram (no spaces)

4) boost

5) free ram (to see ram usage - compare to values in step1)

6) Profit

Explanation:

"boost" - activates Adrenaline Boost V3 (i take no credit for this script). What this does is clear the ram cache, freeing up ram storage.

"freeram" - a script i made, adjusts minfree values (android's built in ram manager) to kill off more empty apps from ram when ram usage exceeds certain values - not a task killer, so doesn't affect battery life

In android terminal emulator:

"su"

"cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree"

-will show you the prior minfree values, "freeram" script adjusts these to 8192, 10240, 12288, 21000, 23000, 26000

Notes:

All changes reset on boot, so you'll need to to run everytime you reboot

check your ram usage before with: "free ram"

These two scripts will generally ensure about 300-400mb free ram always.

Removing widgets will improve this also.

If after a while nexus is feeling slow again, run "boost" script.

Fstrim or "lagfix" also helps with those having slow emmc issues

Enjoy more free ram :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mrazndead:
Or download an app called autokiller memory. Works miracles
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Nbsss:
didn't know about that app.

This is more geeky and cleaner though, who doesn't want to use terminal??

And i don't think the app flushes the ram cache (similar to the adrenaline v3 script)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Nbsss:
According to anandtech:

"I’m told that TRIM support has been part of the eMMC standard since around version 4.2, it was just a matter of enabling it in software. The result is that the new Nexus 7 shouldn’t have these aging affects at all. Better yet, fstrim support has also been added to the old Nexus 7 with as of the Android 4.3 update, so if you’ve got a Nexus 7 that feels slow, I/O performance should get better after fstrim runs in the background. I'm checking on whether the other Nexus devices have also had TRIM support added. I would consider the slow storage aging problem fixed as of now, and Google took the eMMC and storage I/O performance issues with the previous Nexus 7 to heart for this version."

Link: http://anandtech.com/show/7176/nexus-7-2013-mini-review/4

So that's good news for poorly ageing nexus 7's, just update to 4.3 instead of running lagfix :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mpokwsths:
[MENTION=1662773]mods[/MENTION]: close/move the thread please.

this is another minfree / lowmemkiller script like Supercharger V6 which offers nothing more than actually less memory. What do I mean? It makes the device start killing apps/processes much sooner rendering it multitask-less. Provides a boost but at a terrible cost: much less mem available to apps...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Nbsss:
I was able to multitask smoothly between 8 open apps without reloads. And I've been using this setup for 2mths or so.

I had memory issues with my n7, and this solved them, and I wanted to share as users (can't remember the thread name) were discussing slowness due to limited free ram, and this worked for me.

Mods feel free to close, sharing experiences is not appreciated obviously..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Raverbunny:
So basically, the Xda crowd is too dumb to make up their own minds?

Shouldn't it be up to the individual to try this (and any other) mod freely. Your personal experience with similar mods is welcome, but you trying to tell others what is best for them is way out of line imo.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] sk8erwitskil:
On linux systems having a little amount of free ram is not necessarily a bad thing. it means that the apps you use most are available to be opened very quickly.

OP: what do you mean by "empty app"?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
Appreciate your effort, OP. However, a more user-friendly way is to install an app like Rom Toolbox(and others) and change minfree. RT has presets, and set at boot features. I personally subscribe to the thought process that unused ram is wasted ram.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Melarsa:
I wish :( My poorly aging Nexus 7 hasn't improved at all since the 4.3 update. In fact I think it's running even slower. I haven't run lagfix since the update though since I lost root and I'm waiting for Wug's updated toolkit to get it back. (I know I can restore root with other methods but I'm lazy and toolkits just make it easier.)

Aside from the TRIM issue I loved my old Nexus, but 16gb just wasn't enough space anymore and any time I dipped below 4gb of remaining storage it would lag so horribly I'd have to wipe the whole thing and start over if I wanted it to be buttery smooth again, even after using lagfix. Lagfix helped a bit, but it was still crawling compared to a freshly wiped tablet.

I've got a 2013 Nexus 7 on the way though so hopefully what you said about TRIM on the newer model is true and this one won't age as poorly as the original. Even if it does, having an extra 16gb of wiggle room can't hurt. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jeff243:
My thoughts

The most aggressive lvl on the minfree script is 26K ie 26,000*4/1024 = 101mb

Having less than 100mb of ram (ie over 90% ram used) slows down my n7 and its really bad when i have 19-45mb of ram left...

The fact that the script resets on reboot means i can easily compare the difference, for ME it helps and i can't notice an impact on multitasking (and thx for teaching me how to use terminal to check ram usage :P)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nimrodity:
Since i use this app my ram is always ok. Thanks so much, really improved a lot

fmcgirt,

Thanks. For some reason my office FTP didn't show the Upload directory and there were other files name in similar fashion. Got it now. Hopefully down grading will at least give me a device that's more stable. Thanks for you post.

Steve
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] fmcgirt:
You are welcome, Steve. I hope it works better for you. I am still playing around with 1.11. I have given up on MMS working for now and the rest seems fine most of the time and then I start having problems with GPRS connecting so I don't know what is going on. I tried sending an email to iMate and they referred me to Carrier Devices and it has been a week with no response from them. Since the 850 model is only for US I guess I don't understand why the rom can't be better tested on the only two GSM carriers in US. If I can find problems with it after using it for only a few hours you would think that the developers could also.

Good luck,

Frank
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] smfa1965:
Exactly! Why is it so difficult for them to get this fixed. I mean, I've sent detailed e-mails to i-Mate explaining exaclty what happens and when. Shouldn't be that difficult for them.

Anyway, the "down-grading" went successfully to 1.06 and thus far (too early to tell just yet). I haven't had any issues. I didn't install any of the Carrirer settings but I did install the ExtROM programs. Placing calls and/or manually connecting/disconnecting to GPRS works like a charm.

Of course, I said that about 1.11 at some point and then it started acting up, but at least this moring when I got up it was still working. We'll see.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshuadjohnson22:
Just thought I would share a cheap accessory I found. This is a wireless charging module for a QI charging base. In the past I have bought alternative modules (this one) and they never seemed to work right. I would spend a lot of time moving my phone around trying to get the charge working(my wife always got so annoyed)... but this one does the trick.

I have a S4 Active and it works flawlessly, you may lose the water seal but it is worth it in my opinion. I picked it up at Tmart (here)... these guys have always taken care of me(fast shipping and so on).

Here are some pictures of how it looks, I also bought the gold battery works great and has great battery life(a little less than the OEM):

If you have never seen how this works... basically just insert the module, put the back of the phone back on and toss it on the charger. Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Diamond 2 owner:
I don't get it.

Why bother with S4 Active (instead of regular S4) if you don't care about water seal???

What is the purpose of switching from original high quality Samsung battery for "gold" one with smaller capacity??? Does it have some other Austin Powers or Goldmember magic powers? Was it desperate move to get rid off NFC from your phone (you know, PRISM is watching us;))?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshuadjohnson22:
I had the s4 and the active is much better, the LCD kills the amoled I'm and that was the selling point. Water resistance is still nice and I think if I was to drop it in water it would hold up a little better than the s4. I use the second battery as a back up so I can go multiple days without a charge. I don't use NFC much so no problem there. But thanks for your concern ;).

Oh almost forgot... the Active doesn't scratch or break as easy, it is a lot easier to see outside(screen)... it is what the S4 should have been... I like the hardware buttons because I don't accidently press the back button when playing games... The brush metal on the glass looks better than bubbles... It has a better build quality... Plus almost all the features of the regular S4....
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] qwerp:
How does the charging module perform through a thick(3mm) case?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Garen21:
I'm also curious to know this, I wanted to buy one but I don't want to take my phone out of its case each time to let it charge
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Diamond 2 owner:
Yes, now it seems quite reasonable.

I personally prefer SAMOLED over LCD, so I think it is great move of Samsung, that they differentiated Galaxy line so much, that everybody could much features and specifications set to their preferences/usage/needs.

Keep in mind, that S4 Active uses Gorilla Glass 2, while regular S4 have latest version - Gorilla Glass 3 (it is 40% more scratch resistant and 50% stronger by manufacturer's specs).

btw. gsmarena rated battery endurance factor (measures battery lifetime for average usage model) for regular S4 S600 for 69h. For S4 Active they measured 57h. It is half day difference. That was for stock batteries in both phones. If you switch S4 Active stock battery with non-genuine battery ("gold" or other questionable zerolemon etc.) this difference will be even more than half day. Probably close to one day. This is huge difference in real life experience.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshuadjohnson22:
Well on the s4 I have used I got scratches on the plastic easily, the active has taken everything I have thrown at it and not even a tiny scratch has surfaced. The glass is less but it is also cheaper to replaced... The lcd and digitizer is only 100 bucks which is half the cost of the s4's equivalent part. The battery life between the s4 I have and the active seem the same and I can get easily 24 hours on a charge with about 2 to 3 hours of screen time. The gold battery is perfect for what I use it for and I am well pleased. The LCD looks much better than the amoled, I had to return it because of the cartoonish looks and ugly whites personally it was a turn off. If they would just get rid of their pentile pixel layout the screen would be amazing.

Basically you have 2 types of people, some love over saturated screen and some like natural. Samsung has got both camps covered with both of these phones. For me the active is the phone I have been waiting for from Samsung. The regular s4 is awesome and I wish they had a version with lcd but the only choice I have is this beautiful active. :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuruptnightmare:
Okay so I got this phone today and I went straight to the mskip toolkit for the Note 2. I have the S3 toolkit as well.

The thing is when I try to root the phone Odin will come up but the first box under ID:COM does not turn blue or do anything at all.

When I first did this I had to download a preloader driver. It was MT65xx.

Okay so I got that but still no actual connection to Odin. So my other problem is that when I hold vol- home power it doesn't go to download mode, instead the android logo pops up but then falls over with a red exclamation mark warning sign with an open panel. Looks like a generic error message pop up. So I can't get past this. What do I do? I read that it may be an imitation phone if this doesn't work so is this the case?

This may not affect anything but when I first got it and rebooted the phone the Samsung logo booted as the animation, after I reset it it changed to the android word. I don't know if that means anything but this is the problem I am having.

Okay well after digging I figured yeah it's a knock off. I'm pissed but whatever now it's time to roll with it.

My next issue is that I can't get to anything but the default recovery. I have tried flashing different imgs or attempting to but nothing.

I tried buying Mobile ODIN and it gave me the "Unexpected partition layout" message.

I also tried using fastboot but and tried the terminal emulator for the phone to flash the recovery that way and when I go into recovery it does as I explained before. Spins a little then falls over and goes into default recovery.

I rooted using Root with Restore by Bin4ry v18.

I'm still new to this and trying to figure out what else I can do. I downloaded rom mannager apk and it say the GTn7100 isn't supported. I'm not sure what else to do. If anyone can shed some insight.

I'm gonna keep the phone for now and I want to flash the alliance rom onto it if possible. Thanks again

where's the quality control, Asus? I picked mine up today... had a big old dead black pixel right in the middle of the screen... being as anal as I am about small things, I returned it.. got another... dust under the screen! I notice this one damn piece but I can't tell if it's dust or yet another bad dead pixel. kind of ridiculous but I'm not going to keep swapping these out. I'll live with it.. but still. whatever happened to quality control!? all new devices have such a higher rate of getting dead pixels or screen defects, it's ridiculous.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] thedeadletters:
First one had a stuck green pixel that was immediately noticeable on the "Google" boot screen. The replacement has a thin line of light bleeding along the top. It's not totally awful, but I'm wondering if other units share it. I researched it a bit and the bleeding on mine isn't as bad as it could be.

If you get bad manufacturer units, use the warranty. Is there for a reason.

Hmm..for once I got a perfect device. I got used to backlight bleed. You should see my zenbook prime...that's a mess.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] UWRF:
Had to exchange one at Best Buy today. (The floor manager walked back to the back where they were still in the process of emptying the truck to get me a new one!) There was a line about 50 pixels long about a half inch above the navigation bar that looked okay until i started swiping through the play store. The pixels seemed to be mirroring certain colors, it was strange. Anyways the exchange was effortless and my new unit is flawless!

TL;DR... Very glad I decided to go with Best Buy for my purchase.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] flyinion:
I haven't noticed anything odd so far with mine. No pixel issues or backlight bleeding that I can tell. Only thing going on is the JSS15J update issue. Mine came from a Best Buy that seems to have had it in the stockroom for at least a day. The closest one was still unloading their truck and didn't know if/when they would be there.
