[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csman:
Hi, I’ve got a Samsung galaxy s3 mini and Orange hiro ( Alcatel one touch mini idol ) both purchased from orange .

When I receive a call from Hiro to S3, in some places the dialer/phone app shows person who is calling me but when I press to answer the app freezes and I do not hear anything and the other person can’t hear anything .

After this incident the S3 has no sound anywhere in any browser , youtube , music / video player as if it does not have a speaker. If I restart the S3 sound works again until the Hiro calls me.

Weird is that when I call the Hiro there is no problem.

After some investigation I discovered that if I switch on the GSM mode S3 I don’t have this problem and I can get calls from Hiro. As you know on gsm the network speed is a few kb compared to wcdma.

I also did some tests and when outdoors with WCDMA mode the problem does not occur.

Also if I set Hiro on GSM and mine on WCDMA/GSM or just WCDMA there is no problem with my phone.

Both phones weren’t rooted or other interventions that would void the warranty , their firmware is up to date.

I do not understand why the S3 is unable to perform a basic function.

I tried the 2 sim cards in other phones but there is no problem, the problem only occurs when Hiro phone calls mine.

So far I have tried:

Reset to factory.

Clearing data from Dialer/phone app.

What is frustrating is that sometimes the connection between two works fine but when it doesn’t my phone ends up disabled with no sound.

Thanks.

Update:

I sent the phone 4 times to warranty and got the motherboard+battery replaced, the problem persists. I don't know what to do anymore. :(
[Nexus 10 General] guardianali:
I posted this in the Gpad 8.3 thread but not everyone there will have a nexus 10 so i figured id better hands on experience here.

I'm debating a gpad 8.3 or a nexus 10.

Long as the screen size is greater then 8 inches (hence the two options im ok).

I was wondering if anyone had/has both and could tell me about performance.

Specifically the snapdragon 600 vs the exynos of the nexus 10. Ive heard the Nexus 10 having bad stuttering as the cpu/gpu cant handle the screen rez.

I can get a used good nexus 10 on eBay for the same price as the gpad and trying to decide which.

I only do light / moderate gaming. My primary purpose will be video watching (thinking front speakers will be great for it), comic and ebook reading, surfing web, etc..
[Nexus 10 General] jimh425:
I've used both for several hours, but I own the Nexus 10. The Nexus 10 seems quite a bit faster doing normal activities, but the LG was 4.2.2 LG compared to my 4.4.2 with pure Android.

That being said, the LG is about one half the weight and thinner with not quite high end camera of the Nexus 10 although I never take pics with my tablet except to look at how good or bad they are. Both are stomped camera wise by my Nokia 920.

I like them both and might buy a LG 8.3, but really they are quite a bit different.
[Nexus 10 General] yets:
Where'd you read/hear that? Amazing!
[Nexus 10 General] nigelhealy:
I watch HD videos I copied to internal storage on my N10 and I never seen any stuttering. I watch Hulu with some episodes in HD and no stuttering. I've had no performance issues and its crashed once in the 4 weeks I've had it. I'm on stock 4.4.2 with Franco kernel.

Very similar to my needs, the primary advantage the N10 has it is just plain easier on the eyes on a 10". I also do things like mine on the BBC TV streaming whilst I work on a laptop and the forward speakers are wonderful. For me the biggest weakness of N10 is obvious - its lack of pocketability, something like my N7 does that better, I imagine gpad would be somewhere in the middle. If I were buying new now (I had the N7 2012 first then the N10) I'd go with a used N10 and a new N7 and grab whichever for the day, which is primarily N10 when stationary and N7 when moving, you can use stickmount with both stuff it with videos. I bluetooth tether to my android phone and bluetooth fast enough for non-HD type streaming.

I know you said they are the same cost roughly (new gpad vs used N10) but probably if you bought and sold that gpad you'd be more out of pocket than if you bought and sold the N10 as new-to-used is quite a drop vs used-to-used tends to be less so.... on a per-day of ownership basis you're probably going to find it cheaper with a used N10. Good luck whichever you go for there's always some risk with any purchase whether new or used.
[Nexus 10 General] enik_fox:
Well I think the lag thing has been fixed for a long time but the stigma has kind of stuck with the device
[Nexus 10 General] nigelhealy:
I did flash stock of 4.2.2. 4.3, 4.4 4.4.1 4.4.2 doing no "backup and restore" so its pure vanilla each time and did the most performance heavy stuff I frequently use. 4.4.2 is the fastest and most stable (others may find different conclusions). Don't do OTA and don't do any Google backup/restore they cause issues. The fact that OTA leaves legacy performance and stability issues is the most worrying because most people do stock and most people do OTA so they're holding in their hands something slower than if they did an ADB flash stock and writing opinions which aren't fair.

My N10 is faster than my N7 2012, my N4 is faster than both but that's because N4 has less than quarter the number of pixels than N10.
[Nexus 10 General] rumatt:
I think you're asking the wrong question there. I'd focus on which size is best for you. The extra 2+ inches makes them very different devices.

If you sit with the tablet on your lap and type with one hand, the Nexus 10 is pretty good. But if you prefer to lie down and hold it like a book and type with your thumbs, an 8" tablet is a much better choice. I returned my Nexus 10 and moved to 8" tablets for this reason. Same for watching movies lying down. Your arms get tired eventually.

However I do hate non-front-facing speakers. That does make the 10 stand out for movie watching. And if you're going to set it on a table or your lap, the bigger screen is better.

Hi guys. First i want to say thank you everybody on this forum.

And now lets go to the point:

I bought Moto G from Tesco UK.My plan was clear: unlock simlock,unlock bootloader and then root my device.

So i did everything as its here described: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47705438&postcount=6

Than i checked if my device can be unlocked, and this is that problem: YOR DEVICE CANT BE UNLOCKED

Have anybody any idea what can i do for get root permision?

Thank u

First, welcome, you need to paste the Unlock Data Correctly, without spaces... one line, thats a common problem...

All the MOTO Gs are unlockable, but you need to paste the data as it says, in the Motorola Unlock Program page says how to put it correctly
[HTC Inspire 4G] shaolin95:
Greetings!

My mom's Nokia died and I want to get her a quick replacement. She is not techie but she got used to touch screen...so I was thinking that even though the HTC is older tech (at least from my research), at the used prices I have seen, the bigger display and better camera, would be a better choice for my mom than the faster Samsung Blaze with the 3.97" display.

At most she will be using it for some pics (which will stay in the phone for the most part as she has no computer) and receiving messages with photos that I send from my end for example...which is also why I feel the bigger screen is a better idea.

Anything I should know about it before making a decision?

Any other choices you want to recommend are also welcome.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whiteyyy13:
Is it okay to use the 4.1/4.2 camera apks on Android 4.4. I'm currently running the KitKat ROM on AT&T I747 and everytime the camera freezes/video messaging has exceeded size. I never had a problem when I had stock FW. With all the crap about no downgrading and hard-bricking(I hard bricked before trying to use Xposed settings) , would it be safe to use the 4.1/4.2 camera on version 4.4?

But then again, maybe I am missing something and the Blaze is just that much better. At least some benchmarks I saw should put it ahead of the HTC, that is for sure..and she may like the rich AMOLED color more too.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Somcom3X:
Well, it all goes down to the processor, then its built off of the features.

The inspire doesn't have a Front Facing Camera (FFC) or a fast processor. The blaze has a lower MP count than the Inspire as well as a smaller screen.

But both these devices are dated. Now, sticking with HTC sense or Samsung's TW is a different story.

Both of these skins are heavy and if you root it and install custom firmware, you'll notice a huge difference in the blaze's battery and performance compared to stock. Ex. With Heavy usage: 6-7hours on Tw. On a newer rom, lets say Carbon for example, i get a few more hours about 9-10 a day. Light usage will make the phone last 24 hours. I once hit 29 hours :)

Good luck

Oh compared to what she has, both are like super highend :D

She does not even do texting...just I am going to use it now to send her images via text to keep in touch so I guess either one will be fine now thinking it over. :)

Also I think I can't flash the whole os by using the os.. Isn't cwm a more logical method?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
On CWM you can't flash .tar.md5, and into shell you can flash only the components of the package. To flash these firmwares use Odin

Inviato dal mio GT-I9070
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeriL:
Cocore kernel can be flashed with a zip file via cwm! It is provided on it's thread..

That zip file has the kernel with tar.md5 extention in it..

Maybe there is some way to do the same with firmwares with tar.md5 extention..

All my smartphones were Sonys, so I'm not used to Samsung methods of flashing.. Sorry if I keep asking noob questions!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
That's why I said that only the components of an extracted package of stock ROMs can be flashed with shell, Cocore is packed into a flashable zip that when flashed in CWM the script runs busybox and tells to it the commands to flash that tar.md5 and where to flash it, but (for example) if you want to flash it without CWM you can use shell because is only a component and not the entire firmware!, the only way to flash a stock Samsung firmware is to use Odin. For questions: no one is born learned. ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeriL:
Actually I want to flash via cwm because my friend has few free time, so I have to go wherever he is to flash stock rom because he is having a hardware issue and he is still under guarantee

Phone is rooted, so it should have busybox.. It also has stock kernel, but I downloaded "temporary cwm" zip to flash jellymod and it seems to work well..

Is it still not possible to do it?
[G2 Themes and Apps] dougiebee:
Hope this helps someone. I got fairly sick of the date/time bug giving me error alerts upon reboot. This fix takes the RTC date/time and applies an offset specific to your own phone to set the correct date/time at startup. I have attached an APK to make life easy. It should also give the ability to have recovery use the files it creates to set the clock correctly on startup.

The app requires root. If running AOSP, your ROM must have initscript support.

The app has 3 functions:

Install offset only (for use with a compatible recovery, not used by the ROM)

Install offset and initscript (to correct ROM clock offset, also for use with a compatible recovery)

Uninstall (Remove /data/local/userinit.sh /data/media/rtc_offset and /sdcard/rtc_offset)

Feel free to include the app in your own ROMs, just give me credit :)

As of version 2.0, the script will create /data/media/rtc_offset which can be used by recovery to correct the date/time on boot. Note this will require the recovery to specifically support this correction.

Version 2.1 uses /system/bin/toolbox for compatibility across roms (rather than relying on whatever /system/bin/date points to)

Version 2.2 places the rtc_offset file both in /sdcard/rtc_offset and also in /data/media/rtc_offset if available. The initscript will use either file that is available. This is for possible compatibility with older phones that may not have /data/media, at the request of Phil3759

Special thanks to Atze001, sniperle and Phil3759.

Hope this helps, enjoy.

I personally use the first zip and it works. Many people confirmed that it works.

But if you want i can set the permissons to 755

Permissions fixed
[G2 Themes and Apps] dougiebee:
I now have a much better fix. It uses the RTC rather than relying on file timestamps. It's easy to implement, but creation of a flashable zip will not be straight forward.

I ran the following using ADB once the system was up and the date/time was correct:

expr $(date +%s) - $(cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch)

Which gave me 1384422218 - which is "Thu Nov 14 09:43:38 GMT 2013" - the exact date/time I first powered on my phone after I got it.

So I edited my userinit file to read:

#!/system/bin/sh
realdate=$(expr 1384422218 + `cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch` | awk '{print strftime("%Y%m%d.%H%M%S",$1)}')
date -s $realdate

This takes my hard-coded (device-specific) power-on time and adds the current RTC time since then to give me the correct date/time, much better than using the timestamp of a file or directory.

I'll update the OP if others confirm this works for them. Note: you need to replace 1384422218 with the number specific to your phone. Creating a flashable zip would be a bit of a challenge, as it would need to be device specific.
[G2 Themes and Apps] DerSpatz:
Wouldn't it be possible to add a script to the flashable zip that determines the correct value and modifies the flashable file with the value before or after flashing?

PS: I don't know anything about this stuff... ;)
[G2 Themes and Apps] murdoch1:
Just applied your new version. Works a treat. As you say its better than basing the date on a file timestamp. I basically used the flash zip and amended the unserinit.sh script with the code generated on my device.

All done.

Cheers again.:D:D:D:D

BTW, I am on my own AOSP kitkat 4.4.2....
[G2 Themes and Apps] dougiebee:
Im guessing your rom probably doesn't have initscript support? The best way to create a device specific flashable zip is via a shell script. I likely won't be able to have a look for a while as I'm busy with Christmas and relatives.

Philz recovery is looking to add a proper one-time fix to correct the RTC, which would be cool.

Command for the new version

Here a command for auto installing the new version:

echo "date -s \$(expr `expr $(date +%s) - $(cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch)` + \`cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch\` | awk '{print strftime("%Y%m%d.%H%M%S",$1)}')" >> /data/local/userinit.sh

This must be executed after the device is normal booted, you are root (type su at the terminal before executing the command) and the time is set to now.

Hope everything works well, test please. :cool:

[G2 Themes and Apps] DerSpatz:
I deleted the old userinit.sh and ran that command, but initially it didn't work. The content in the file missed the first and the last line that is present in the post above me...

Anyways, by running the script, I got the right number to add in the file and now everything works just flawless!

Thanks!
[G2 Themes and Apps] Doc Sniper:
Tested it again and I think everything if working well, the output in userinit.sh should look like this:

It looks a little bit different from the original second version because I "optimized" it to a one-line version. :D

Edit: Found a little bug, three \ where missing at the end, sorry, this should work:

echo "date -s \$(expr `expr $(date +%s) - $(cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch)` + \`cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch\` | awk '{print strftime(\"%Y%m%d.%H%M%S\",\$1)}')" >> /data/local/userinit.sh

And if your userinit.sh does not exist, then this command would be more useful: :eek:

echo '#!/system/bin/sh' > /data/local/userinit.sh ; echo "date -s \$(expr `expr $(date +%s) - $(cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch)` + \`cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/since_epoch\` | awk '{print strftime(\"%Y%m%d.%H%M%S\",\$1)}')" >> /data/local/userinit.sh ; chown root:root /data/local/userinit.sh ; chmod 0755 /data/local/userinit.sh
