[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinkForce:
So, since the day that i got my xperia play i've been noticing a really annoying input delay. I'm a fighter player, and like to speed run sometimes, so delays are realy easy to notice for me.

I've already tried all kinds of roms and stuff and the delay is always there. Someone here have the same problem? Someone know a fix for this?

I was thinking about running my phone on a 480p kernel, but I'm not sure if the input delay is caused by the screen and its resolution.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knighthorus:
Since last month, my Samsung Galaxy S3 was facing a big issue that the handset gets overheating easily. I am not sure whether this problem is causing by the Processor, battery, software or other part of the device…Then I troubleshooted the GS3 myself, and my first idea was to replace a battery so I take out a MPJ 6000mah replacement battery for S3 which was fully charged and swap it to see if it is the oem battery should be blamed. I don’t know whether I am lucky or not----the result is…yes, I need to replace a battery….the good thing is i don’t need to continue to troubleshoot my phone…

I already know cable, battery or charger malfunction, Low hard disk space and more usage may cause the problem… But still, wander what are the other possible issues might cause Samsung S3 overheating??

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheremy:
So the story goes like this. I flashed cm10.2 on my galaxy s4 i9505. Days later, there was an update. I was hoping that the new update might have some battery improvements so I went ahead and updated it. After updating, I realised there was a bug with the back button, so I tried to restore my old cm10.2. But there was a 'unable to mount system, unable to mount cache and unable to mount efs' error. I fixed the first 2 by wiping system and cache, but I could not fix efs. I had to flash a new cm10.2 because I couldn't restore it. Now my efs file is empty but I can call and sms. The only issue is that the mobile carriers appear as numbers(e.g. at&t appears as '52575'), but it doesn't bother me as I've remembered which number is my carrier. I have a backed up stock rom but again, I can't restore it because of the unable to mount /efs error... Any similar experiences/ solutions?

THANKS A LOT!

I tried to root Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-T889 (T-mobile) with Android 4.1.2. Phone stuck on "Download mode - Do not turn off target" failing to connect to USB of PC with MS Windows 8.

I read once that someone stopped the upgrading of Android to 4.1.2 in order to be able to root the phone before upgrading Android version, but my phone came already with the version 4.1.2. So am I stuck because of Android version and should I degrade the version before reattempting to root?

Phone connects just fine to PC using Kies (Samsung USB connection software) in normal boot, not download mode.

Before attempting to root, i failed to unlock the phone for Wind Mobile because the software i installed required root!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cetvxs:
Hey folks!

I just got a warning letter from Sprint. They're threatening to disable service for tethering. I did a bit of searching on the forums and have seen similar threads, but thought I'd contribute so others wouldn't get flagged like I did.

I'm using CM9 Beta 1 (older version), with FL24 modem, and using WiFi Tether app to tether. Data usage for September so far has been 4.66 GB. Specific usage for data (from tethering) primarily involves web browsing, Youtube videos, Hulu, and playing Guild Wars 2 x3/week for less than 3 hour sessions each.

I'm not sure what all they can or cannot track, so I will try a newer CM9 or CM10 and use wired tethering instead to see if that helps. If I get terminated, oh well. After surcharges and tax, I'm paying 160 for two lines. The other phone on the line is a basic flip phone, of all things. I use tethering since it's more ideal than the campus wifi here. :D

If push comes to shove and I get terminated, I'll check out T-Mobile since their signal is strong-ish in this area. Not sure what factor/s caused the flag letter, but just posting the info so you could perhaps avoid it!

Good luck folks! :highfive:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
They will be able to tell that you are tethering, it doesn't matter what ROM you are using or how you are tethering.

All of the information is in the packets that are being sent on the network. Everything from what browser you are using, operating system, which version of flash/java you have installed, etc...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cetvxs:
Thanks for the info. From all the searching I've done across several different forums, this seems to be a consistent but very RANDOM problem (the letter). I wonder if they just do random checks on random people?? I saw a guy get a flag letter for using 100+GB, but I'm below 5GB. Is anyone else getting this letter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The real question is what they are looking at. Truth is we probably won't know and things change.

Just looking at user agent strings in post and get requests will result in false positives when a user has their android browser using a Windows Chrome user agent string. Its not terribly intensive to spot check traffic on port 80 to see whats going on but probably not the most efficient or fool proof way. Especially when the heavier users of the network are not just casually using a web browser.

Desktop Youtube and Hulu are likely to raise flags. Even the most passive of monitoring will catch these 2. When a tower experiences any amount of unusual congestion someone is likely to take a look at why and see something usual triggers won't notify on. More active solutions are likely to notice an account without tethering connecting to a known game server IP on a known port. Not so much a problem with say hosted FPS servers more of a problem with MMO's.

If they know exactly what they want to look for its very easy to put an automated solution in place. They don't always know what a user is doing on the network and spot checks during unusual congestion will turn things up. All from network administration point of view less of an accurate carrier view though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cetvxs:
Hey guys an update on what I did.

I just got back and found an OK deal. I'm not sure what you guys were paying for Sprint, but I was paying (after taxes and surcharges) 160/mo. for two lines, unlimited data + 2k non cell-to-cell mins and unlimited everything else. I ended up going T-Mobile and it's looking like the bill will be around 130/mo for 3, not 2 lines. One will have unlimited data, the other two are basic flip phones. Everything else is unlimited.

After bugging the living crap out of the representative and asking repeatedly throughout the sales process, it seems like they have a more flexible, less technical data plan. If this is not true, I'll necro this thread sometime to let everyone know.

Although the 130/mo for 3 lines looks good on paper, I did have to put down (after taxes) $430 for the three phones (GS-4, x2 basic flip phones) - not a pretty amount. After bugging them about how much it cost, they at least gave me a zagg screen protector and some crappy.. body armor? body guard? phone case. Not bad.

I mentioned my usage with tethering in the original post. Should things go sour the same way it did with Sprint, I'll update this thread and let everyone know what happened in detail. Supposedly the rep at the store was an avid user for tethering as well, though he only hinted it, telling me there's little for me to worry from his 'personal' experience.

On another note, I did have an incident with Sprint in the past. My phone was evidently set on automatic connection and Sprint literally kicked my phone off the plan for something they called 'excessive roaming'. They claimed they sent me a warning letter beforehand.. and I'm sure they did. My desk is a mess. The guy over at T-Mobile told me roaming was truly unlimited, but I won't take my chances just in case.

Data speed differences in the Denver Metropolitan area are significant. Speed Test shows around 1.5mbps DL Sprint WiMax, 8.16mbps DL T-Mobile "LTE" (Someone told me T-Mobile LTE isn't 'real' LTE. Not sure on this). 10 tests each were done and averaged. 5 tests indoors, 5 tests outdoors.

Thanks for the responses/input - it helped me make my decision. This forum has always been nothing short of awesome. :good:

So I got the blue HTC one and decided I wanted to get a clear case instead of using my uag case cause of how sweet the color looks...I was looking to get the poetic atmosphere case, but can't seem to find them anywhere...were they discontinued? I know there were issues of them falling apart but the one I had on my old gs4 is still going strong...or can anyone recommend another clear hard type polycarbonate case with decent protection? Thanks guys
[One (M7) Accessories] TriBeard:
You can get one from a seller on amazon at this link. I'm pretty sure I've gotten stuff from them before.

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Atmosphere-Clear-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00BQ2Y3TA

Other than that link and ebay, I don't really see anything either. Shame, really, I liked those cases. Hope they revise the design and come back soon.
[One (M7) Accessories] lunercrab:
Yeah all I see is used one on amazon...there's on on eBay but it's going for a lot imo...poetic doesn't even have them listed on their website...maybe they had too many problems with them breaking.... Oh well gotta find another one I guess :(
[One (M7) Accessories] TriBeard:
Well there was one at that link and I don't think it was used, however it's gone now. lol. Good luck finding something new. I know its not really the same at all, but the seidio active is a great case. I just got one myself. If it's not too bulky for you (and it's really pretty thin, much thinner than any other dual layer case I've ever had), it seems to offer a good bit of protection and the kickstand is nice.

As far as clear ones go, I haven't really heard of any that are nice and clear and stay that way. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be either not actually clear, yellow with age, or both.

I checked it on amazon but its not available...but the reviews over there are quite in the favor of this atmosphere case...so just wondering to go for it

I am using this. Griffin back less case (bumper)
[One (M7) Accessories] lunercrab:
Thanks for the suggestion guys.... I don't really want to bumper case only because I'm afraid the blue the scratch easily like the black one does...I'll just keep looking...
[One (M7) Accessories] Dazrin:
I am sad to see it isn't available any more, I am not surprised though given the amount of issues they had with it. My Atmosphere (white) lasted about a month and then started peeling - it sounds like I had one that lasted longer than most too. It also started getting discolored very quickly and couldn't be cleaned. The other colors probably didn't have that problem.

A couple alternative hybrid hard/soft cases that have good reviews here are the Supcase and the Basal - they both have clear backs but the sides are solid. White, black and some other colors are available.

My Supcase is starting to show a little dirt that I haven't been able to clean off completely, but i have been using it for almost 3 months and it is white, so not too much of a problem for me since I expected some discoloration. I liked the frosted back of the Atmosphere because it didn't show scratches like the clear/smooth back of my Supcase, but at least the Supcase hasn't failed.
[One (M7) Accessories] lunercrab:
Yeah I was gunna try the supcase and see how that worked for me...sounds like my best option atm...now what screen protector lol...
[One (M7) Accessories] lunercrab:
Well I just got official word that they didn't indeed discontinue the atmosphere case for the HTC One due to manufacturing issues

[One (M7) Accessories] thevuman:
Wtf they stopped making them? I loved the case and mine has held up well so far.

What about the 3 year warranty though ? They still going to honor it?
[One (M7) Accessories] lunercrab:
Yeah I thought about that...u may want to email them and ask
[One (M7) Accessories] Dazrin:
My guess is that they have a stock of them available for returns, when that runs out they will probably offer a refund or a different case. It really was a great looking case, but way too many problems.
[One (M7) Accessories] Jjday7:
I messaged poetic on their site and they say it's discontinued. I'm sure it's workmanship. I had one before and sold the phone and recently purchased the phone again. Even with the small flaws it was a great case and one of the best looking ones for the HTC one.
[One (M7) Accessories] Jason_MCG:
Considering their warranty and the defect rate of the case (namely the rubber separating from the poly), it's probably makes financial sense to discontinue it. I'm on my second one; great while it lasts, though.
[One (M7) Accessories] Jjday7:
How difficult was the warranty process? What specifically did they want as proof of purchase. I ask because of buying through Amazon
[One (M7) Accessories] exhibitA:
I bought mine through Amazon, it came apart, so I emailed Poetic pics of my case where it was coming apart along with my Amazon order number & I had a new case within a week or so,
[One (M7) Accessories] Jjday7:
Nice!! ok thanks.
[One (M7) Accessories] cubskru:
Did you have to send the original case back?
[One (M7) Accessories] exhibitA:
Nope, they didn't say anything about that. The old one is still in my desk drawer.

My second one is holding up so far, I think the trick is to never take it off,lol. My first one started coming apart after removing it a few times, it's such a tight fit.
[One (M7) Accessories] lunercrab:
I won one off eBay...it's clear and orange...would've prefered black trim...not sure how much I'll like orange with the blue.. although orange and blue are complimentary colors :)
[One (M7) Accessories] thevuman:
I actually like this case. Best looking one out of all the cases I've looked at. Mine has held up quite well so far, going on my second month. I do notice that there is some tearing, or cuts, on the rubber part, but I think that's from the metal sharp edge of teh htc one cutting into it from when i took my htc out of the case.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
It survives drops on to its back and bottom edge. Being dropped on its face does it in. Even after that though the AMOLED panels works. That's good because the SGS4 was have strange issues with the AMOLED cracking but not the GG3 panel it was bonded to. For the N3 it seems the AMOLED panel's a bit tougher.

Well, it has to be done. Even upper class cars like a Hummer, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes S or SLK and BMW 5, 6 and 7 are being destroyed in crash tests multiple times... That's a waste, too. But it's for security reasons. And phones are somewhat cheaper.

btw. I had to find out the exact same results on my N2 by myself. I accidentally dropped it many many times and it survived every single time. But last week it fell out of my pocket (3ft. / 90cm) right onto its face, and guess what, Spider Man was there. :( Just like in the video.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hotobu:
That's a godawful comparison. "Drop tests" are completely retarded. They're poorly conducted, unscientific, and thus unreliable as a metric for... well... anything. Car crash tests are well conducted, and reliable. Very rarely do people give a damn about how a phone will hold up to a drop before they buy it. They just buy the phone they want. This isn't necessarily true with cars. People with families are very interested in crash tests. If someone drops a phone then they take the consequences as it happens. In the little time between the drop and it hitting the floor no one is going to take solace in a drop test, and the people who really do care about this type of thing use cases which makes the test all that much more useless. Additionally cars are much more sturdy, and take much less punishment to the actual chassis over their lifetime. Over the course of their lifetime phones have many minor "car accidents." Throw it on the bed, bump into someone in a subway, fumble it, but not quite drop it etc. Cars don't take that proportional level of punishment over their lifetime, so when a phone first "drops" they'll be significantly weaker than it would be coming out of the box.

tl;dr. Anyone who puts any stock into a phone drop test whatsoever should seriously examine what they believe to be their actual level of intelligence.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] clninja:
Drop tests can actually be.very interesting. But only of its testing a phone that was actually.built with durability as a selling point,

Take the Sony Xperia z for instance. The Sony rep was in our store today and threw his phone on the hardwood floor 3 times on purpose. From about 5 feet high. Not a drop... a toss/throw. And not a scratch on the phone..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mingkee:
I am sure 99.999% users will keep the phone well and won't play "daredevil".

Get a decent case (hybrid is preferred because my Note 2 was saved twice from breaking with these hybrid cases).

If you think drop test is not enough? Check out "dovetasatic" on youtube. Ken can do much further from microwaving to using other ways you never expect.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] motohip:
What's the point of random people on YouTube performing this test?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hotobu:
No. Dropping something is a dumb test no matter how you attempt to look at it. Objects rotate when dropped, and thus hit semi randomly. This goes even moreso for throwing things. Drop tests don't mean a damn thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] V@no:
Clearly you fail at physics there. Plastic is light and flexible, so it's protects better by absorbing the energy on impact and hard to deform.

What are premium materials? Glass and aluminum? Glass could shatter and aluminum could deform to the point that it wont let you close the lid.
