[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gainstatom:
So I am currently running Carbon Rom on my phone. Whenever I lock my phone and I unlock it, in the notifications, it says that its preparing my storage everytime. But now, it says that my SD card is blank or unsupported but it works perfectly fine my computer. I've had this problem for about 2 months now. I've already tried changing the rom and clearing the cache. Also, I tried to take out my SD and put it back in but not luck. So please help on that. Also, I was just wondering, so as you already know, I'm running the Carbon Rom on my phone. It's a great rom but the battery life sucks. I would like a rom similar to Carbon that is 4.3 or 4.2 that is very smooth and also has great battery life. I tend to use my phone a lot, and I know that battery life on androids suck but some other roms had much better battery life on them, but I didn't really like them much. Thanks for all your help! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
Played with Carbon and other roms, none are close to the battery life of Shostock roms (I've run 2,3, currently 4). And SS is about tops for smoothness and stability. Some of these roms are so much worse on battery life that it's pointless to use them if you actually "use" your phone throughout the day, unless you have it plugged in everywhere you go.

Far as the SD card not sure there, did it do it on stock or any other rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gainstatom:
So I switched to Shostock 4.0. It's pretty smooth but my battery life isn't so hot. Maybe I just have to give it a day or two. And the problem isn't happening now. But usually, the problems comes after about a week of using a rom. Also, sometimes, there's random reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
I do know Sho roms are always tops for battery life of the i777 roms. Never had random reboots or anything on any of the Sho versions. There could be something else wrong with the phone, rogue apps, something killing on gps power, battery gone bad. These phones are two years old now, and a lot of people have had the battery itself go bad before that time, I just replaced mine like a month ago. Just randomly started getting worse and worse phone life over the past couple months.

I keep GPS on all the time, and sync etc, only thing I adjust is WiFi set to stay on in sleep mode only when plugged in (Android has always had that battery sapping wifi bug). You should try running stock though for maybe a week or two and see if the issues occur, if they do, it could be hardware issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
Random reboots are usually due to a kernel issue, rather than a ROM issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tedkunich:
Everyone will get different results, period. I get great battery life with Carbon, drop maybe 40-50% over the course of a day. Much of the building I work in, is a black hole when it comes to cell coverage, so I'm happy with my results.

T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
So your not using your phone since there's no cell coverage? That's the thing I'm on my phone all day for work/personal, ton of calls, emails, text, browsing etc, used a bunch of roms but always come back to Sho on the i777. Have two employees with i777s running Sho too, same results, none of the roms they used had the standby and in use efficiency. Not to say the roms are bad, Carbon is cool, just wish they all had better life.

I will say if you notice a big difference like I did over last few months, time to replace the battery. Sammy shipped crap batteries in these phones, and it's a known issue that majority fail before two years are up. Mine did and my employees did lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gainstatom:
Yeah, so, I switched back to jeboo kernel but the battery life sucks! I'm going to wait a day or two and see if the problem goes away. Also, on this rom, I also sometimes when I unlock my phone, it always says preparing SD card. Its annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
If your having these same issues across different roms like you are, run stock for like a week at least and see what happens. Not sure what you mean by switched to Jeboo as Sho4 comes stock with Jeboo tweaked for it.

Also if battery life is sucking that bad especially on roms known for battery life, 99% sure its time to replace the battery. Samsung shipped crap batteries in this phone that frequently die between 1.5-2 years. I've replaced mine, two employees have, few other i777 friends have etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chaz9999:
How long have you been owned the phone's battery? The above poster mentioned battery usage which (if you're still rocking a day 1 release S2) the battery is at the 2 year mark. Might be time to get a replacement battery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobydooby:
hey all..

I am having some weird problems with Android devices on my company wireless network.

My company makes games for Android and Ios and we test our games a lot on a variety of devices.

For whatever reason, some of our Android devices, which range from older version Samsung Notes, right up to Galaxy S4, have trouble with wireless speeds.

I am starting to believe its Android mostly because other devices have no problems, such as laptops, Iphone 4s and above, Ipads etc.

When I say they have problems, I mean they tend to lose connectivity to the wireless network and then reconnect, or their speeds are just way too low.

Iphones for example tend to get anywhere between 15-25Mbps when I've tested them. My Laptop is able to get 50 (I realize that a laptop is not a fair comparison).. and yet some of the Android devices here, Nexus 7 tablet, Samsung Galaxy Nexus (4.2.1), get around 1-3Mbps.. Also, my personal phone, an LG Optimus G, running Cyanogen Mod, gets 3-5 Mbps on the same networks as the other devices are on.

I don't understand what could be the reason for this huge discrepancy between devices and its very perplexing. At home on my Asus router, my phone gets a constant 20Mbps always.. and that's just a single router. Here in my office we have a 12 Access Point Wireless grid which provides signal to the enter building.

I have tried many different things, from adjusting the networks to only be G type, removing encryption for testing, upgrading phone OS's and making sure they are their current version.. also adjusting the wireless options such as turning wifi off during sleep, turning off the optimize wireless switch, everything I could think of.. and yet on some devices it just crawls and I don't get why.

Has anyone come across this before? I'm racking my brain here trying to get to the bottom of this ..

Thanks for any ideas and suggestions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markuzy:
How about reducing the DHCP lease time on the router?

On a much much smaller scale, I've managed to deal with some devices having issues on my home wifi by turning on static IP via the device wifi settings for the connection.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobydooby:
Thanks for your reply.

I will try to change lease time on one of the networks and test to see if there is any change.

One of the devices that i'm having the most trouble, I tried to join after setting a static IP and found the same issue.. disconnecting and slow speed.

this is whats so weird.. I also have a Gtab 3 and am getting 30Mbps down and 30 Up.. its blazing fast, same network, different android version.. but not disconnecting and works fine. It just doesn't make sense.

I also had an Iphone 4s user come up to me and he's having the same trouble. It will disconnect frequently, and when we run a speed test its crazy slow. Meanwhile other iphones have no problems..

[HTC One Mini] ryandt220:
The One Mini came out today for Rogers Wireless and it might possibly work on T-Mobile, but I'm confused right now. Here's what they list on the Rogers website:

HSPA Bands:

1900/1700/850/700

LTE Bands:

2100 MHz

What confuses me is that Rogers currently has other phones that have 1700/2100. This is the first one that I've seen with only 1700. I'm also unfamiliar with Rogers or any other North American carrier that uses HSPA 700; Isn't that frequency commonly reserved for LTE?

It also seems strange that the bands are listed in a reverse order, like someone didn't know what they were doing when they put up those specs.

Anyone found specs provided somewhere else?
[Nexus 5 General] Sonic2756:
Just received this in a tweet from someone who just got their Nexus 5. Maybe Google/Verizon has something up their sleeve?

No such luck for me.
[Nexus 5 General] kirdroid:
Never going to happen.
[Nexus 5 General] expertzero1:
Didn't they already say something about future plans for 2014,m... There's no possibility for thus device.
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
Means nothing. That's probably a picture from one of the guys on the Development forum.

A few modifications will allow you to see the other networks...the phone supports a few of the frequencies in Verizon, but the network will never allow your device and you would never have full functionality anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] Mazziota:
I'd be fine with voice/text and slower data speeds.
[Nexus 5 General] motoridersd:
Um yeah, I can see Verizon's AWS LTE network on my Xperia ZL around San Diego sometimes. It's not very widespread, and without band 13 it won't be very useful. None of those shots show the phone connected to the LTE network though.
[Nexus 5 General] Nareaa:
The Nexus 5 has the Qualcomm WTR1605L, which does have support for LTE band 13 700mhz (Verizon), it appears to just be turned off in the N5. Is there a possibility of waking this part of the chip and using the phone on Verizon by just throwing in a SIM card?

I just saw which chip it had and researched to discover that it does have support for band 13, which is verizon.

Is there a simple explanation why this isn't possible, other and having to figure out a solution for ESN/IMEI?

Cheers
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
I didn't mean it would be slow...I meant it wouldn't work well.

Some towers might work great, but others wouldn't work at all. In the end, you'd have like 1/4 of the coverage of normal, since the bands that are accessible by the radio in the N5 aren't used heavily by Verizon (the LTE bands, at least).
[Nexus 5 General] Smokuevo:
But only the internet would we funky. Voice would work
[Nexus 5 General] PhantomGamers:
Voice wouldn't work, if anything it would be the other way around. From what I know the Nexus 5 supports a few (maybe only one) LTE band of VZW and you need their CDMA network (and your phone activated on said network) to make calls.
[Nexus 5 General] Smokuevo:
Wouldn't nexus 5 CDMA bands work if registered...
[Nexus 5 General] PhantomGamers:
To my knowledge we only support Sprint's CDMA bands and none of Verizon's.
[Nexus 5 General] jdawg0024:
Where is the setting to see what mobile networks are available
[Nexus 5 General] Rxpert:
This isn't going to happen. Move along.
[Nexus 5 General] BirchBarlow:
I wouldn't hold your breath.
[Nexus 5 General] Jubeldum:
I don't have Verizon and they can eat a bag of dicks for all I care because of the crap that they've done. But for the past week, I have been thinking about how the Nexus 4 had it's LTE disabled and how a patch enabled it.

What if the Nexus 5 could be patched to enable Verizon. Maybe borrow something like a Verizon G2 radio driver or something?

Being a ham radio operator, I have always liked to mod things. Flash patched bioses on computers to enable things like raid or slic mod so Windows activates easy after a format/reinstall.

Has anyone else thought about a mod like this?

[Nexus 5 General] obsanity:
Sprint and Verizon use identical CDMA technology. If fact, they both have roaming agreement to be able to use each other's towers. The problem would be Verizon's CDMA database. They just won't allow the IMEI unless you can spoof it with another Verizon number that's been activated.

LTE on the other hand should work just fine for data as long as you have Verizon's AWS around since there us no amplifier for the 700 MHz in the N5.

I came across this in a LG OPTIMUS SHOWTIME forum , after spending countless hours searching for a root for that device. The website is in all Chinese but not to hard to figure the download button ( the one with the down arrow) I downloaded then installed on Win 7 64bit. Ran as admin then there will be 2 buttons on bottom of app one Grey one blue. The blue roots the Grey Un roots. Took only a couple mins to root. Then it rebooted and all is good. I had to update su binary so I just downloaded chainfires super user and everything works like a charm. Several over at Verizon s4 forum had already tried on 4.3 and verified it works.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mattwheat:
I believe I read on the Verizon forum where someone figured out how to block the suspicious connection attempts either thru an apk or changing a setting. Check it out. Maybe someone can make a utility that utilizes this exploit and also sets up what is needed to stop that connection.

I saw my buddy last night at work , the one that has the LG OPTIMUS SHOWTIME, and checked his data usage, didn't see anything out of the norm. I asked him how his battery life was after root , he said he felt like is was a little better. Could be placebo effect though.

Be aware that as of this moment XDA has deemed the Kingo root method and Vroot method are not allowed on XDA. There are concerns with the information which is collected during the root method by the exploit. It is not about a continuous malware which may affect your device but about important information shared about your device, serial numbers etc during the root process which could be huge securities issues.

You have all been warned at this time. XDA will remove all links to these methods.

Hello everyone - I need to do a shell root of a Verizon Galaxy S3. I don't want to lose any user data, such as SMS, pictures, etc. Someone had recommended Kingo to me but I can't see to get it pass the "downloading driver" stage. It simply tells me to disconnect the USB cable and stops there.

Is there another program available that will allow me to shell root the S3 and preserve all my data?

I apologize for the newbie questions - thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You just want to root your S3? None of our primary root exploits delete /sdcard which is internal storage. Use Casual or Open1your1eyes0 root exploit that utilizes Odin.

Casual is very simple to use but requires you to have the latest Java installed to your computer (Java 7 or newer). Works on Windows 7 and OSX 10.8.6 and no clue about OSX ML or Windows 8 compatibility. Here's a link to the older Casual that should work:
