[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Hey.

One question before I flash a custom kernel on my SGS3. I was planning on making first a nandroid backup with the stock kernel-

If I flash a custom kernel and after a few days I want to revert back to the stock kernel will the nandroid backup do it? Or does it copy everything except the kernel?

Does the nandroid backup backup the kernel also so I can go back to my previous kernel too?

Thanks.

I'd just like to go to something like gingerbread or even jelly bean just something newer lol I have no clue about this just what I've been reading lol
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skepticmisfit:
let's set a couple things straight..

first off, all the updates for the Verizon Fascinate (i500) were done through OTA. nothing was done through Kies.

What model do you have? there's the fascinate, mesmerize, showcase, and the telus fascinate (which is more like an i9000, or galaxysmtd)

also, i believe all of the i500 variants have official Gingerbread of some sort. the verizon fascinate has 2.3.5 which you can get through an OTA or through Odining

but what do you want to update to? do you want to delve into custom ROMs (unofficial firmware, that's how you can get Jellybean running on this phone)? or do you just want to play it safe and go official?

[General Questions and Answers] Croatoan®:
On Google Play is many many HDR apps, some bad, some good.

Every app essentially works like this (when you press the take a picture button):

1. it takes pictures with EV -2.0, then

2. it takes pictures with EV +-0.0, then

3. it takes pictures with EV +2.0, then

4.it combines all three pictures

The first three steps on my phone (Xperia Miro) took about half the second; but last step takes forever (about 15 seconds) and it doesnt look good. If I combine those 3 pictures with PhotoShop combined picture look stunning :D

My question is; is there some app that can do all 3 steps or is there some app that can do all 4 steps with option to disable 4 step.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] idLiGHT:
After updating by OTA to the newest 4.3 ML1 and having the phone working great for a couple days, all of a sudden it will not boot. I cannot access recovery at all since it gets stuck at the Samsung screen. This phone was never rooted/unlocked bootloader. The only thing I can access is download mode. I was wondering if it's possible to pull from from the phone using download mode? If so how can I do it? Thanks!

I've figured I could use odin to get it to work and start from scratch but I really need the data (pictures) on the phone. Will using odin delete the internal memory (pictures)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pendata:
I doubt you can recover any internal memory files at this point unless you did the stock backup assistant. You can use odin to unbrick your phone if thats your case.

I've used it, works fine (with wifi). I use the hands free corded set I got with the xda exec. I didn't want to use bluetooth headset as this zaps more resources from the exec. One odd thing, is that the first time you dial someone after loading it, there is no sound. So you dial, let it ring for a second. disconnect and then dial again. Everything then works ok. I have had a number of wm2003 and wm5 devices and Skype never works flawlessly, there is always some hickup. The call quality does seem to be quite good on the exec.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Taggin:
Yo guys, please i need ur help, im fighting with this for 2 days and i think i cant win this battle against my phone.

So the problem is:

First, i installed P.A 4.0 beta kit kat with iodak v9 kernel, the phone was going random dead. I thought is the problem with P.A cause is beta so i went to Vanir 4.3.1. I went got iodak v9 kernel again and it was doing this same for me. Random dead phone (off had to make him on)

So i tho its problem with kernel so i back to iodak 8v5 fixed from anykernel project. Yea, phone is no random dead anymore but when its going to deep sleep (i think cause when i wont use phone for 2h) and i try to use it again, the whole system android is lagging so much.

Guys, pls, help me. What i have to do? something bad with my phone or with drivers/system/android?

I have done dalvik wipe and cache everytime.

Second question is ... how to formate sd card? I cant, from computer and from android (no option) from recovery when im doing format storage sd card1 is getting error. What i have to do?

The most important is first question so please help me!

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
You are probably suffering from throttling.Make sure max CPU frequency is @ 1500 mhz.I'm on PA 4.0 beta with iodak v9.0(or 9.1, doesn't really matter) and having no problems at all.

Also to fix your SD card, get an SD card reader (USB microSD reader or laptop, both works.) and install minitool partition wizard on windows.First wipe the SD card with it and then format to fat32.Make sure you label it or else it won't be visible in windows.It'll still work on android though.

Also could you explain "Random dead"? Shutdown? BlackScreenOfDeath? Either way I'd say it's caused by heat.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Taggin:
Thanks so much for answer.

As i know v9 is max 1500 mhz? so how it go throttling? and throttling when i didnt do anything? phone was just on deep sleep? I was already using v8.5 on official cm 10.1 rc 3 and no problems and it was 1,7.. mhz

So i will change now to 1,5 and see if the problem is still there or not.

edit: yes i meant Shutdown... or just black screen but i could hear if someone is calling to me. Sometimes only black screen and i dont hear anything but when u were calling to me u could hear signal like a phone is on not off
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Taggin:
Ok, seem is not the problem with 1700 mhz.. phone again gone..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
You say you can't format the SD-Card - what happens when you try?

As you have this problem on two different ROMs, I'd be tempted to flash back to Stock and make sure you don't get similar problems there - that way you can isolate the hardware from the equation and start with a fresh platform for reflashing custom ROMs afterwards.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Taggin:
well i dont have even option to format my sd card. When i want do it from android vanir 4.3.1 there is no option. The only one is make off ur sd card. From windows when i click right mouse i can see only how much gb is used/free. No option to format. Whats bad? i tried from recovery too but then i got only fail, no number of issue or sth..

And @ rom... today on night it was looking good.. 30% per cent on battery... i made localisation off and went sleep.. i wake up moring and battery was 0%. No idea why, i made battery now 100% and looking if the problem is still there. Actually its working fine not sure for how long. Im still on 1500 mhz. If it will work today fine it mean the problem was [MENTION=5301607]170[/MENTION]0 mhz but why? when i was already using 1700 mhz with 4.2.2 and no issues..

And why in night i lost 30% of battery too? the problem with off localisation or what? or my phone need at least one connection with internet, since i dont have wifi etc so its fresh install wihout internet connect..

I hope u know what im talking @ cause my english is not good haha

Thanks for help!!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
You don't format your SD Card from within Android OS - you do it from Recovery only.

Ignore all your other problems. You have so many different issues that other people don't report, so there is something major wrong.

Re-flash to Stock (Recovery and ROM) via .kdz and then start troubleshooting from there.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Taggin:
Actually is working fine, no battery drain and no shutdown. I made [MENTION=1516530]150[/MENTION]0 mhz. Still dont know why there was problem with [MENTION=5301607]170[/MENTION]0. I will write here if the problem will be again. Then i will try with stock.

From recovery i cant format idk why... clicking on it format storage/android/data and getting error - failed to format or sth

Remember you're going to lose camera if you unlock the BL on 4.2

But is the camera app that crashes or any camera app? Could I downlpad a thurd party camera app?

With 4.3 stock(unlocked bl) with recovery is possible to have full root?
[Google Chromecast] mumbles202:
Wondering what the capability of the stock uniit is if you don't root but dont upgrade the firmware either. Figure it would be easy enough to setup separate SSID for a network w/o internet access, or block the Chromecast mac address on router so that it can't get out to the internet so wanted to know if I could use that as way and still cast to it from a tablet or computer?
[Google Chromecast] rans0m00:
Give it a shot. From the computer to the chromecast it should be possible. Doubtful from the tablet.

Why not just root it? If yours is not rootable return it and buy one that is.... If the store doesn't have any that are you can buy a rootable one on eBay for 5 or 10 more than one from the store.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Without Internet connection it won't be able to query Google's whitelist so I doubt anything will work.

I agree with rans0m00 - just root it.

But if you really have no interest in root, I recommend trading with someone who wants a rootable unit.
[Google Chromecast] mumbles202:
Plan to root it down the road, just no powered usb-otg dongle so trying to fund alternative til then.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I see. If you have a standard OTG and extra USB cables/parts you can probably find a way to inject power.

Just remember that the OTG has to be between the Chromecast and the rest of the stuff.
[Google Chromecast] rans0m00:
I did it with a standard otg dongle and a powered USB hub. Plugged the USB stick into any of the ports and the cord that usually would go to the computer I just put the otg dongle on the end of the USB cord that is usually attached to the computer. Left the hub unpowered until it was time to connect it and everything worked like it should. Flashed 3 this way without issue.
[Google Chromecast] SomeGuy2008:
So I have a brand new cc serial C3 or maybe 3C cant remember but I just got it the other day. I ordered a Teensy++ and a USB OTG adapter which should be here in about a week or so. But was wanting to use my CC in the meantime but am worried google might push out an update before I get it rooted. In the meantime its unplugged and sitting in the box. That all being said would it be possible to block the DNS name or IP on my router (which I can do if I know the IP or hostname im guessing its 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4?) that the CC connects to when it checks for updates but still allow basic functionality? I live in the US. When I get the rest of my rooting hardware I plan on rooting my CC so that I dont have to worry about google updating my CC. :)

~SG
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
it really comes down to this...

If you block whatever is needed to prevent OTA you also block everything the CCast needs to actually work.

So no you can't really accomplish this by blocking a site.
[Google Chromecast] SomeGuy2008:
Fair enough. I will just play it safe and wait until I get my Teensy. Patience is a virtue. ;)

~SG
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
They are pretty quick with the shipping a PJRC. I got mine in less than 3 days. That is if you are in the US...

If you really need to use it just plug it in for that use and then quickly unplug it.

Yes you take a risk of Google sneaking a patch in but considering the cost of a NIB unit it's really only a $35 risk in the end.
[Google Chromecast] SomeGuy2008:
I live in the us (CA). I got an email from Robin Coon on the 26th saying it was shipped via US Mail. So I'm figuring it should be here by Tuesday.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
yep with the holiday weekend that sounds like a good bet...

I say resist the urge to use the CCast until then.

Nope. The files are on sdcard and are gone. "System data" is /data not /sdcard.

The gta files are as follows

/sdcard/Android/obb - 2.36 GB

/data/app-asec - 20.33 MB

/data/data - 10 MB

Nothing else. So anything you think is in "system data" that is "too big", is not related to gta.

This is all explained in my thread. /data is where apps apk and app / system data is stored. Big games also store files on /sdcard like gta

Dear Forum Members - This is my first post in XDA and so my apologies if I missed any protocols. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 International Version. Just like many of you, I got fed up with Touchwiz and flashed CM 10.2 using Cyanogenmod Instaaller. While the performance exceeded my expectations by a huge margin, I am facing one small problem with installation of Google Earth. Since Google Earth is not available in my country through Play Store yet, I usually download the apk and install it. I did the same after moving to CM 10.2 amd installed the old app from my backup, but realised there is an updated version of Google Earth V 7.1.3 available and downloaded the same from a popular tech site. The problem is after I uninstalled the old app, I am unable to install either the new version or the old version. I keep getting the Out of Space: Titanium Backup could not be installed error even though there is lot of space still available. When I faced similar trouble with Titanium Backup Pro earlier, I found online that by deleting /system/app for file Titanium....odex. file and it worked flawlessly. However, I cant find any such file for Google Earth. Can someone please help solve this issue? Thanks in advance
