[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
First, waiting for a "rumored" phone is a crap shoot. The One Max has been rumored for months, appeared in pics, has received radio certifications, and been priced in China. When and wear it'll become officially available (announced doesn't really count) is anyone's guess.

Here's my understanding of flexible displays. I'd be interested in other's opinions. The "flexible" part seems to mean the display is flexible but at the same time ridged because it's mounted to an inflexible hard casing that houses the phone's internals. If that's the case the only benefit I can see is increased breakage resistance. There's also talk of flexible displays being curved. Other than the "gee wiz" factor what's the possible benefit? Especially on something like the Note-series that you write on. Am I missing something?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envision:
Good point on the actual phone not being flexible if it was I would wait but why wait?

And the rumored screen is only supposed to be 5.5 inches
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
This is from GSMArena today. Depending on how limited "limited quantities" are it could mean a regional release. It most probably means a luxury price tag too (EG: Galaxy Gear). The U.S. carriers picking up a device they couldn't sell in volume would be pretty atypical. I guess time will tell.

Samsung and LG to unveil curved OLED phones this month​

​

02 October, 2013 |*Word out of Korea is that both local tech giants, Samsung and LG, will each be unveiling flexible display devices in October.Samsung has officially confirmed a curved display smartphones, reportedly a Galaxy Note 3 Active model, which could be announced as soon as next week. LG meanwhile, are taking it a step further with their new LG Z series (Z as in Z-axis), featuring a concave display, likely of fullHD resolution. The Z series flagship is allegedly already in production, and is expected to*launch*this month.While both devices will feature unique, non-straight angle displays, they are not flexible per se, as internal components like circuit boards and batteries cannot be made bendable, yet. Current flexible OLED technology will allow displays which require less screen bezel, and will be unbreakable - hence the Active moniker attached to Samsung's upcoming device.

Both smartphones are expected to be released in limited quantities as neither manufacturer has the capabilities to mass produce flexible displays yet.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
The only thing they have come up with so far is a 'notification' sub-window on the leading edge of the phone. That way you do not have to open the case to see the message.

Given that the S Case is almost as good, I'm dubious of the benefit.

The other potential may be a 'foldable' phone, or one that unfolds to a tablet. That I would like to see, but it'll be a few years yet. Once it happens, we will forget what these old phones were like, and they'll be relegated to the likes of the monochrome LCD screens of the last millennium....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
I'll be really angry if the flexible one gets announced next week since I've just paid for the order of note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The chance of it coming to Europe, let alone any shop selling it, is simply not happening.

We still can't buy the S4 Zoom or Active.

So no, no point waiting for it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksqp:
The S4 Active is available from Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...2241&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s4+active

So maybe don't give up hope yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueChris:
Guys keep in mind that if it will be an Active version like the S4 one then it will have smallest camera etc... just an assumption.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] the_game_master:
does anybody know what the update does? It was about 65MB download, I installed it but I have no idea what it changed.

Is this pre-update before Samsung releases Android 4.3 to the Galaxy Note 10.1?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] adi_tca:
Just took the update trough Kies. When I saw that 4.4 GB are needed for it, got excited, but ... it's still Android 4.1.2... didn't had time yet to see if there are any other changes, just noticed that now I have Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, G+ Photos...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] the_game_master:
4.4GB :confused:

You don't update your Note 10.1 much?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] adi_tca:
This is the message I got during the update from Kies, that I need 4.4 GB free space on my HDD (had only 2.8 GB free and so had to clean up a lot of pictures from my camera), so I imagined this wold be the size of the FW image...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
I don't think the actual download file is 4.4GB but 1.15GB and here is why.......

I watched my temp directory when Kies was downloading the update files.

Kies first downloads pre-installation files to your computers hard drive.

Then downloads a .tmp file that is 1.15GB to your computers hard drive.

Then Kies creates a .zip file from the .tmp file that is also 1.15GB without deleting the .tmp file.

Then Kies extracts files from the .zip file that are 1.56GB without deleting the .tmp file or the .zip file.

After the extraction the .zip file is deleted and the extracted files are then sent via usb cable to your tablet.

Then after the files are sent and the tablet reboots the rest of the files are deleted from your computer.

So with all of that going on I can believe Kies requires 4.4GB of free space.

Installed on my rooted unit, it broke root but installed fine. I re-rooted with CF-Auto Root just fine. Not I have voodoo root keeper protecting root.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tony yayo:
Still... does anyone know what the update actually DID? I tried Samsung live chat and they just kept talking in circles to me. Seems like all the people i ever speak to in live chat, whether Samsung or Tmo, are total idiots. They never know anything and they literally repeat back to you what you just told them and never get anywhere.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] abo treka:
update applications + update for samsung exynos exploit

Yeah, Same thing with me, I used farmaroot before, but now its now working, btw bro how did you re-root via CF-root? if you dont mind could you please share for re-root

One of the changes, unless this has been here before is that when you take out the spen and try to type on something, the qwerty keyboard is not the default anymore but the handwriting to text.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tweetatoo:
Actually, Samsung updates the firmware for different countries at different times. In the time that a country receives a major update, another can receive a minor one. This country can receive the major updates days, weeks or even months later.

Small updates are usually bug-fixing updates. However, the new features are mostly coming with the major releases.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
I think that is a new option but I think the best option is that you hit the little microphone and you don't even have to touch the keyboard, just speak what you want to type and it appears on the screen. I'm using the function now.

Tip: To insert punctuation you just pause your speech and say comma, period or question mark to get ,.?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gronimo21:
Nope the pause add coma is not new

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinelaw:
I currently have CM7.2 on my MB525.

There seem to be a billion options out there. What's are relatively stable ROMs of newer versions of Android for Defy?

I don't mind a few bugs as long as the basic functionality (GPS, Phone, Camera) works fine.

Thanks :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milan Kerslager:
4.1.2

I tryed some 4.1.2 and they seems to be stable. Except my latest try with slimrom that have nonworking wifi tethering and the one before this had broken pitch sensor.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawwr:
Try illusion 2.1,its based on 4.2.2,

Very stable,

Or try xperia d 4.1, based on 4.1.2,

Much stable
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jh20:
i'm sticking to epsylon's cm9.1 for now, at least until and unless they fix the problem with the "android os" battery draining issue.....
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
Well I'm not experiencing any battery drain even though system settings show android os as the main consumer. I get 1-2 days of battery life with android os as the top consumer.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jh20:
well fortunate for you,but unfortunately not the same for me. when i left my phone overnight for about 10hrs with everything off (wifi, gps, sync, data) and only with mobile phone radio on (for phone call), i got the following results (as best as i could remember from memory):

1. epsylon's cm9.1 - about 0.4 to 0.5 % /hr battery drop. battery settings shows roughly:

phone idle 54%

phone standby 40%

android os 4%

note: now this is what i expected for a phone that is on "real" idle/standby!

2. quarx's cm10 (4.1.2) - about 1.1 % /hr battery drop. battery settings shows something like:

android os 60 to 70 %

screen 20 to 30 %

follows by phone idles and others.

note: i know i quoted about 2% drop in one of my previous post at quarx's cm10 thread, but i've edited that to say it was because the battery calibration was way out (after flashing cm10 about 10 times trying out every possible ways like different gapps, settings, wiping etc). i did use bbs (better battery stat) apk but it was too complicated for me to decifer, so i didn't bother.

edit: not only android os obviously indicating that something keep waking up to do something but possibly flashing the screen as well? i mean how could the screen percentage be 20-30% when the phone is just sitting there with screen off for 10 hrs??? unfortunately no one seems to care!!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
I think I know your problem. Android OS must be keeping your phone awake. Happens to me sometimes. Toggling Airplane mode on and off, or a reboot usually fixes it. Also using defy full wiper when starting is advisable.

Edit - I think you should test CM10 once more. I normally get 0.3-0.4% per hour on standby.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jh20:
already tried all that but unfortunately no joy.

if i can get that sort of battery usage i won't be complaining either :) which version of cm10 are you using? i believe i was using the july 3rd version as some people recommended that to be the most stable. can't remember if i've tried the latest sep 18 version. i'll give it another go this weekend and let you knowm the results. thanks for your helps btw.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
I'm testing the latest version by MarcinRN. It's surprising because my battery is almost 2 years old now.:cyclops:

EDIT - Test it out, and give BBS stats after 2-3 days. Also, restore all your apps, because some app might be rogue.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jh20:
i'm back. thanks for encouraging me to try it again. don't know what i've done different this time but the latest 20130918 version is now giving me 0.55-0.60%/hr battery consumption and following stats:

android os 70%

cell standby 23%

phone idle 8%

well i'm happy with that since gingerbread was giving me about 0.7%/hr anyway. if they could fix the android os problem we might be able to get the same consumption as cm9.1 though.

details of how i flash the rom this time:

1. wipe/format the phone with defy_fullwipe_ext4.zip (proper wipe/format).

2. flash 20130918 rom.

3. flash cwm_twrp-forjellybeanroms-v2-signed.zip (for safety).

4. wipe cache and dalvik.

5. reboot. (want to test rom without gapps first).

6. switched of all signals (data, gps, sync, bluetooth and wifi) except phone radio.

7. toggle airplane mode.

8. reboot into recovery and wipe battery stat.

9. reboot phone with charger in.

10. charge phone to 100% and left the phone on standby overnight (about 10hrs)

11. checked battery stat in the morning and got about 0.55% /hr.

12. reset all settings to my liking, fresh install all apps i used, switch baseband to my region and reboot.

13. flashed tjkv's minimal gapps and reboot.

14 checked battery % before putting phone on standby for another 10hrs. got about 0.58%/hr this time. very happy :)

thanks again hotdog125. and my apology to the op for taking up your space. hope you found your perfect rom.

It is discussion time!

I'll start. I believe Android will hold its ground but I don't know how long. Ubuntu is a great OS but Android has far more users and developers. (IMHO).

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] imablackhat:
Yeah I am thinking about upgrading but I am not sure only because I don't know how big the phone is. I currently have an XDA IIs, I put it in my pocket, it fits perfectly. I put it in my pocket when listening to music, and its comfortable. Is the exec the same? Is it big and bulky? can it fit in just one hand while using it in PDA mode? how think is it and such? Can anyone give me picture examples so I know ;-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chaslam:
Well I held my Exec next to a XDAIIs, and they are very similar in size. They are basically identical in size, the exec maybe being slightly thicker.

my tecno n3s has the custom rom running now. thank you griffins:laugh:
[Android General] Borwe:
Hmm

Tell me what exactly you did to port a ROM like that to a TECNO N3S. If it is just adding build.prop of your and replacing the TECNO N3 one or if you actually modded your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk to look like that. It would help me.
[Android General] antonyndegwa_:
hey borwe, the developer only worked on user interface and framework–res. no single change in build prop
[Android General] Griffins_Oringo:
Okay its very hard to port a double sim rom to single sim one. cos you will have to reverse engineer the framework. so its better to port the new features you want to ua rom from the other rom.
[Android General] Borwe:
Thanks man. But that means I can change systemui.apk with another one without experiencing crashes?
[Android General] Griffins_Oringo:
i dint include the boot image but thwe rom is compatible with the stock kernel.. try getting the stock one or il upload another for u later
[Android General] antonyndegwa_:
hey griffins, i was able to successfully flash the rom in my n3s and it wrkd right.. about the boot image, i tried using a boot image i extracted from a backup of this rom of yours to cook my own rom using cygwin and dsxda kitchen. reason being i wanted to add apps2sd functionality in the rom and other tweaks which required unpacking and repack of boot image. actually the rom resembled yours only difference being some few modifications here and there. however my new rom isn't flashing and gets stuck at boot. but am thnkng of adding your rom's boot image extracted from cwm recovery into this wonderful rom of yours and see if it gets past bootloader.
[Android General] Griffins_Oringo:
I think the mount points in the updater scripts are dead. open meta-inf -> com->google-> i dont rem the exact directory but look for a files named updaterscript in that folder and post the contents here. Ill help you from there

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amaryl:
Hello everyone.

I got a little problem with my phone, since i want to root it, i checked out which build I had installed on my phone, here's the results:

i.imgur.com/1sOmg7i.png

As you can see, my build is an AMG3/AMF3, and i couldn't find any guide for rooting with that build installed.

What should i do?

Thank you in advance,

Amaryl.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OCTAF1SH:
Hi there,

Firstly, I am new to all this too, so take my advice, or leave it, with that in mind!!

I have recently rooted mine from the AMG3 build with mskip's toolkit. I took the plunge and took his advice on choosing the closest available build. I donated so as to be sure I had his latest update of the toolkit. I am not near my pc, but it was the selection which included the AMD3 build (the most recent, ie bottom in the section for the model with NFC, as that is themodel I have). I had one root through odin which failed to give superSU any binaries or permissions at all, so then completely reinstalled the toolkit on my pc (possibly unnecessary) and then reflashed twrp recovery, but chose the cwm version of superuser and ot worked perfectly! As far as I can tell, my phone works exactly as it did before, but now with root access.

If you look in this section of the forum, I posted a q this morning which gives a couple more details about the process I went through re 1st failed attempt which I won't retype here, but I can confirm I have full rooted functionality with the toolkit over the AMG3 build on the N model of the mini, with twrp and superuser!

Btw I say a failed attempt, but my phone worked fine, I just got an error message at the end of the toolkit installing busybox, so booted the phone and superSU just said "there are no binaries I stalled, this is a problem!". So I assume I wouldn't have been able to exploit the root, but at no point did It stop the phone working as a phone.

As I say, I am faaaar from an expert, but that's my experience.
