Hey guys.

So I need to say first, that it never drained as fast as this one. Probably the kernel, I will change it soon.

Right now I use

Illusion ROM 4.2.2

Devil kernel

I lost 11% during the night, wifi off, nothing in background, all apps are greenified... WHAT THE HELL?

I dont know whats wrong, I always had this problem with AOSP/AOKP roms but never 11% during the night...

i think the main villain here is Audoiout_2

AudioOut_2 - AudioOut_2 is a major wakelock on many devices. The solution is simple. Before turning the screen off. remove all recent apps and in task manager , go to ram tab and hit clear memory. Then close task manager and swipe it away from recent apps as well. Then lock the phone. Alternatively you can download advanced task killer. (Viber seems to cause this on many devices.)

Any app that uses audio can cause this. as well as some games. You need to figure out what app didn't close properly that is leaving audio running

Looks more like Android is eating iOS's lunch, and WP is feeding on the corpse of Blackberry... 0.6% overall market share gain is good for a platform with single-digit market share to start with, but in either absolute or relative terms, Android is crushing everything else. That's not really sustainable, but it's going to be squeezing WP at least as badly as iOS.

i know andriod 4.3 has sd card writting issues (and i know the fix is here http://www.sammobile.com/2013/08/11...-breaks-sd-card-writing-for-apps-heres-a-fix/) and would need me to root my device

i did try to unlock it using a guide i have lost the link to, the *#0011# one, but it didnt work for me, after doing the key set to 1 no further menu popped up, from what i can tell my modem band is too high......however this is not so much of an issue for me as the sim card i use (the three one) is what i will continue to use for the next year and a half (im on the "ONE" plan so unlimited internet and tethering etc)

i cant find a straight forward guide on rooting the s4 and installing a custom rom (ie the google edition 4.3) for non factory unlocked phones, found one for factory unlocked phones (which mine sadly is not)

so is it possible? or am i stuffed as im not factory unlocked?

thanks in advance

Hi,

Yes you can have 4.3 on your 3 phone.

For root , look HERE

Then, install recovery from PhilZ. Look HERE

Make sure you have version 5.11 or later.

Then , choose one of many 4.3 Roms from HERE

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
If you have your recovery you should be ok. Just flash a new kernal and a new rom, or restore your nandroid backup... you did make one right?

Two things worth repeating:

1) You can never read too much before/during rooting. The more you know, the more you will be able to deal with hiccups.

2) BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP everything, then copy the backup on your PC! nandoid backups will save you in a bind.

Just start again, from the start, do a full wipe, flash a new kernel and a new ROM. Take it slowly and don't panic just yet, I've been there before and I always managed to claw the phone back to life! Best of luck with it!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

As RossFixxed says,do not panic.

I used PhilZ to flash that ROM, and it worked fine.

You can use the recovery to flash another CWM recovery,or TWRP.

Or you can try to go back to square one.

Look HERE

This will remove root and custom recovery.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Ken_xda:
Dear,

From time to time, when my screen is turned off, there are some thin stripes crossing over my screen. This only happens with WM 2005 (whatever version I have tried, the latest'd be 1.60a). Anyone knows the solution to this. I think I once came across a thread mentioning about this, but I cannot find it anymore.

Thank you in advance

Cheers,

Ken
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
WM2005 as an option where you push the power button twice in succession, it turns the entire display module on your device "dead", blocks out complete power to the device....this is when, the screen gets stripes...

Push the power btn, just once, you dont see it...

The main advantage, consumes lesser power....

Hi,

I have a Samsung s3 i9300 on h3g.

It was on 4.2.1 and I have downgraded to 4.1.1. and now rooted.

I have tried: Vodoo Galaxy s3 unlock which does not work and also the *#197328640# although I am on 4.1.1. I do not have a UMTS option.

I have put another networks sim in and tried all methods with both sim cards.

I have also tried Valhalla and this does to option 3 and wont do the final option and I have also tried the md5 fix with no success!

Any further ideas will be appreciated. I have tried searching thoroughly but all previous posts seem to say try all the above (and I have!)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] XxbloodxrushxX:
So the past week I've had to unbrick my G2x twice, and there is a problem with the external SD Card, every time i reboot is deletes my Music folder which contains about 7GB of music, and any apps i have moved to SD, and persists among multiple ROM's I've tried. I've tried Eaglesblood phoenix, and now I'm currently using the MIUI stock w/ optimizations, and the problem is cross platform.

Could it be a problem with the internal memory?

I've tried formatting the SD multiple times in FAT32, with default allocation space.

And still, the problem persists.

What could be the possible solutions for this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Every time you just reboot the device your SD card gets wiped? You mean reboot and not reflashing another from, correct? If that's the case I have no idea what your problem is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] XxbloodxrushxX:
Unfortunately yes that's what i mean, on reboot SD Card wipe. Not everything clears out, things that get deleted are: Apps on SD, Zedge files, mp3, DCIM,

It's almost like every reboot my SD is restored to stock android prepared folders. .android_secure, media, LOST.DIR, Android
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Wow. That's really weird man. Well for one, I have always been told to never put apps on the SD card as it can cause issues. Try transferring them to the phone and see if that does anything? Maybe try unmounting and remounting SD card. You could try fixing permissions in CWM. I'm just throwing out some ideas since I do not know the cause of the issue. Hopefully someone a little more knowledgeable like mansa_noob can come in here and help you man. Good luck and keep us updates, I'm interested to finding out what would cause such an issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] XxbloodxrushxX:
Solved my own Problem!

Thanks for your advice Pain-N-Panic, I've tried all the different things you've explained with no positive end result. I even called PNY for advice and they wanted me to send in the microSD for a replacement.

Although,

I was able to solve my own problem the problem was that the SD was formatted in FAT -- logical partition.

So i used this very useful program http://www.partition-tool.com/ and formatted all the partitions, and re-formatted the microSD as FAT32 -- Primary

Now everything seems to work great, I've put music on my device and tried rebooting several times, the music remains on the device.

I just purchased another SGS3 of the AT&T variety (bought it so I can go to prepaid and get out from Verizon), and the screen has quite a bit of wear on it (minor to moderate scratches).

Any replacements that stand out above the rest? I have never replaced a screen, but I'm completely confident I have the ability to do this.

Monday my phone was operating perfectly fine. 4G data and was running my PC off of the tether. Tuesday, I could not get 4G anywhere in my apartment even when placing it exactly where I had it Monday. Today, I have intermittent data issues. Even with 4G showing present with maximum reception, there are times where I cannot load Facebook updates, XDA app, browser, or anything revolving around data use. Is this Sprint's doing or am I just having bad luck with my ROM?

Hi there,

I need some urgent advise:

I have an XDA II from O2 and I now can get a new device from O2 as contract upgrade.

The options are XDAIIs or XDAIIi, alternatively I can dump O2 and make a contract with Tmobile for the MDA(compact), this last option is a bit of a pain though, because most people I call have O2 and also my international calls are cheaper with O2.

I don't use XDA very much as you do and hardly mess up with sw or upgrades. I mainly use it to call, take pictures/videos, watch movies, internet and for remembering appointments...

If it is fast enough I'd like to use it (via wi-fi) to surf the net with my laptop(as I don't have a landline), but I don't know if this is possible...

2 - clearing cache and data from framework services, stopping service, then look for update. = NOTHING

3 - clearing cache and data from framework services, restart, then look for update. = NOTHING

(you'll have to wade through a fair amount of text to find 'em:)) for both WiFi only Nexus 7(Grouper/Nakasi) and WiFi/3G Nexus 7(Tilapia/Nakasig) which you should be able to flash via stock recovery and ADB (unfortunately), but without unlocking the bootloader.

Some instructions

here

.

--------------------------------------

I can't think of any other way of doing it to be honest... other than as Nasser suggests, and try a hard reset/factory reset (although you will loose all your data).

Kind of odd though, you haven't been pestered with endless notifications about the OTA, which has been available for, I think, 4 weeks now.

Anyway... good luck.
