I can't really say if the kernel affects the battery life that much, unless your underclocking which am overoclocked and still get great battery life but as of the smoothness saber kernel is great for me. I cant remember the last time I restarted my phone because of slowing down or just somthing wierd everything is smooth and fast all the time. Plus voodoo sound is very nice. Alot of users recomend the perseus kernel also but I personally had some random issues with it so saber is my daily driver kernel

I am 100% Stock/Deodexed and Rooted. I can get ~ 3 days with little to no usage as side from phone calls. On moderate to heavy usage " 5-6 hours screen time with Netflix or N64oid/SNESX" I can swing around 20 hours with 5-10% battery left.

Oh... I also don't have anything syncing asside from exchange server every 10 mins and Facebook push notifications. Auto brightness and no location services turned on. I am also on LTE in our building via an LTE BDA :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
You fail to show your screen on time. You probably have like 3hrs worth and at 55% for all we know. Which is what I actually get from this bad boy before I hit the 50% mark. On a good day I can get 6.5hrs of screen on time and I have lots of stuff syncing in the background.. 3 email accounts, Google services, Weather, Facebook, Samsung account, Skype, Tango, Twitter, ubersync, Voxer, what's app, YouMail and fring.

By the way did you get a brand new note or did you buy a used one? Battery could be faulty or another thing could be you are in a bad coverage area which drains batt.

So I've got a pretty scratched up bezel and I imagine the phone would look even better if it was all white. So is there any way to get the entire chrome off without damaging or scratching the under lying plastic?

I don't mean taking the phone apart. What I do want to do is to get rid of the chrome paint only.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndmuni:
The bezel is actually the back housing after removing the battery cover and the 11 screws after which u can scratch off the chrome part without damaging yr screen, but u will not like the looks of yr SGN2, cos my buddy did it on his note 1. U will end up with a scratchy plastic bezel:laugh::laugh:.U will be better off buying the OEM part which should cost less than $30 and u ve a brand new looking phone.

Funny how it easily falls off by itself but when u try to remove it it can be a ***** :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vortexface:
So I recently installed CM 10.1.2 on my S3, and everything worked perfectly for a few days. Yesterday though, my phone started acting strangely (lag when turning screen off, registering phantom input, etc) and began rebooting every few minutes. At some point, it ran out of battery - and now I can no longer boot past the CM loading wheel screen.

I can't boot to recovery, and I don't think my phone is taking charge (from my computer or a wall outlet), and the farthest I can get is the loading wheel - sometimes it only gets as far as displaying the Samsung logo, or the Galaxy S3 screen with the android dude at the bottom.

I'm still covered under warranty, and would love to take it to the store for a replacement (I've had battery issues prior to this), but the fact that it can get to the CM loading wheel means that they might figure out that I've rooted and whatnot. But I can't get to recovery to flash a stock image, so...what can I do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alltechinside:
Your best shot is to either borrow someone's S3 battery or buy a battery pack. Use that to restore your phone back to stock (unroot) and then you can go to the store for replacement.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vortexface:
So turns out battery isn't the issue, I used a wall charger to get it to full charge. I can get it to the download mode confirmation screen, and can press volume up to confirm - but my phone reboots soon after that.

Recovery isn't really possible either, I can see the blue text in the upper right but my phone reboots after that as well.

My phone will often show an empty battery icon with a little refresh icon in the middle; does this indicate that it doesn't see the battery as charged (even though it is)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtmodi:
My phone started having the same problem yesterday and I tried my friends battery but it still doesn't work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vortexface:
Yeah I've been doing some research into the issue...

I've noticed that my phone automatically boots when I put the battery in, and that it'll do a quick vibrate when plugged in to a power source (outlet or computer) but won't turn on.

Apparently the phone isn't supposed to boot automatically when the battery is put in, and this could be the source of the random reboots - I think if I can get the rebooting under control, I'll be able to get into download mode and fix it all. But I'm not sure how to do that. Maybe the power button has gone bad, as it also doesn't usually respond when I try to use it to turn on.

If there is a problem with the power button, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtmodi:
Mine does the exact same thing where I have to pull the battery and when I put it back in it automatically starts up and when I go to download or recovery it turns off before I can do anything
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s1mpd1ddy:
Sounds like power button issue.

I was having the same issues (random reboots, boot loop, powering on when battery put in, reboots in download mode and recovery)

This is not an easy fix. I ended up pulling the power button out and just setting my screen to time out after 15 seconds. Sucks but it works now.

If I ever need to turn off or hard reboot, I stick a pin in the power button hole and push down on the button.

Really turning me off on purchasing future Samsung phones
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
The power button is a common issue for these phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jpom1983:
Hi everyone, i am having a couple issues with my phone. Im no pro, but after rooting my old s3 i got thr s4 and rooted it before even making a call. i installed the pac-rom ROM and its been working great except for the following...

about 3 of 10 calls when answered is dead air, the person on the other end says it rings then stops to dead air..

also about 3 of 10 calls placed are dead air also, the person on the other end gets a ring and answers to dead air.. my call timer starts counting as a normal call would, not as if the phone is unable to gain a network connection to make the call, where the phone just wouldnt connect. i dont hear ringing.

its very annoying. not so much when making the call, but when trying to answer a work call then having to call them right back as they are trying to call you back and leaving a VM or something.. i talked with Telus, and of course they see nothing wrong. but they will only do so much as my phone has a custom rom and they just blame the problem on that regardless of whats actually causing it.

donation coming to whoever can get this fixed for me!

also, when i have google chrome open, or by using the google search bar, i cant google anything or go to my bank website from my phone. it seems that all secure webpages cant be viewed.. im also having a problem where some pages just wont load. wireless or not.. gives me a server error connection refused message.

im more worried about the connection problem than the surfing problem, any help is appreciated though! thanks!

If it's a 4.2 AOSP ROM, it's possible that the audio fix from cm hasn't been merged, and even if it has, there are still issues. There is a modified phone.apk you can try as well, just search the forums for it. This issue shouldn't be an issue much longer since it doesn't exist on 4.3

I haven't tried this yet, but it appears to offer increased web surfing speeds of up to 5 times, by compresssing data and accesseing it through their servers. I know other companies offer similar products, but onspeed offer the services for dial-up from PC MAC and PPC all for only £1.99/month.

What's more all the reviews say that it actually works and gives you a massive speed boost. Whilst a speed boost is great, what interest me more is the ability to use GPRS and because the data is so well compressed, you should be able to enjoy a massive saving on GPRS charges - now that really is appealing.

Has anybody here actually tried this service on PC, MAC or more importantly in my case on PPC?

I've been using it on a laptop in various places around the World for the last 18 months and it works well (generally) - especially if your using a copper wire connection. Sometimes a problem when it has to go through screening (like Saudi), but normaly very good.

I've been waiting for the ppc version for a while- very much for the reasons you listed and installed it last week - Seemed very quick over Orange GPRS, didn't notice any big savings, though admittedly I haven't downloaded too many pages yet. :)

Thanks for that. I spoke to someone else yesterday who has been using it on dial-up and says it does actually work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
Is there a way to get the stock messaging so I can mark messages as read from the notification panel. I miss the old option from AOKP to be able to delete, reply or mark as read.

I know that there are apps that allow you to mark as read through the popup but I haven't found one that works through the notification panel.

It looks like Android 4.3 will greatly help apps to build this function into them.

It's not stock, but Sliding Messaging lets you use any combination of reply, mark as read, call, and delete on its notifications.

Not sure if this is the right spot to start this thread but I was wondering, with all these custom roms out there, could we compile a list using, maybe animated GIFs, of the Custom Boot Animations that are out there? I have seen shots of what the GE Boot Animation looks like and what the Original SGS4 animation looks like (I'm picking mine up come September) but I'm interested to see all the other Custom Animations that people have made. Maybe if we decide to we can also post a link to a flashable zip if people want to install them individually.
[HTC Desire S] afterburner94:
Hey folks,

So its not an actual issue, but it's bugging me a lot.

When I flashed Flinny's CM ROM ( build 18) I also flashed Gapps ( about 80Mb worth of data) to have all of Google suite installed on first boot. But weirdly enough, I only had Google Play on the phone and had to manually download all the other apps from the market.

It wasn't a big of a deal but I always wondered where the 80Mb worth of apps went?

Any ideas on why it did this?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Gapps include all the google sync stuff, initial setup stuff etc, everything that can't be downloaded from play store. Apps like Google maps, Google+ etc aren't included, they can be downloaded from play store.

My understanding was that Gapps contained the most important apps from Google, but it changed apparently!It makes total sense now. Thanks for your info!

Casting Netflix from my phone works great. You just pick the stream to CC option and start a movie or show. On the computer though, the option to pick you Chromecast doesnt come up until AFTER you start the Netflix stream on your computer. Is there a way that I'm missing that lets you stream to Chromecast without first starting and buffering on the computer then picking the Chromecast, then having to wait for it to start and buffer all over?

Nothing I can't live with, but on a slow connection, it makes going to the next episode of a show a little bit more of a pain.

Hi.

I tried flashing CM10.1 on a Nexus S device, but now I'm stuck at a boot loop. The main problem is that the device's volume up key doesn't work, and I can't get to the fastboot menu by going power + vol up. Is there any other way to get to this (maybe by adb)?

Or to put the phone in download mode and just flash a stock ROM image, any help is appreciated.

Hi Guys

I would like to know from those who have updated to the amber update or the gdr2 to know whether it has improved the softness of the lumia 920 camera photos?

I buy my phones by their camera and had bought the lumia 900 and then the 920 because of that and not very happy with the soft photos of the lumia 920 compared to other phones out there.

Also if the pro camera settings improve the camera or no?

I want to decide whether to get the lumia 1020 or not as If the update solves by problem I might as well stick with the lumia 920.
[Nokia Lumia 920] F_T_B:
Not sure about the softness (don't really pay that much attention).

ProCam is not yet available on the Lumia 920 with GDR2. If you want a great camera phone, get the Lumia 1020.

Thanks for the reply, and yeah have been digging around and apparently, only smart cam will be available and not the pro cam which is a bit crap... will see how much the lumia 1020 will cost here in the uk :)

You can still install the Pro Cam app on a Lumia 920 that has the Amber update. Here's how to do it:

There is a definite difference. They are not super sharp though. I think I was expecting too much from the update. I think there are still much better camera phones out there such as the 1020, Xperia Z IMO, and the Optimus G Pro.

I just bought a jused 920 specifically because of this update. I'm on the fence now as to whether or not I should keep it. I was hoping to "get by" until the1020 prices came down a bit. I may wait for that, or I may just pick up a phone with a better camera right now. Maybe the Iphone 5c ? :eek:
