I'm a person who tries to not to do what you do because it could over time damage the battery. I always charge to 100% and try to drain it as much as I can before I recharge it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddavtian:
And you'll damage your battery faster. Your approach was good for nickel based batteries, not good for lithium-ion.

This is the first link from Google search, there are many posts about it:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekurosu:
only if you charge it to 100%, then the statistic will starts a new one,

if you're charging up to 80% and disconnect the charger, the statistic will keep from the previous full battery charge statistic.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coowkeee:
Then people who always post their SS of the usage on battery of their phone that are hitting 2-3 days are all just being boastful? haha

That's why I'm always curious about my battery info because it is not always accurate and people tend to believe that their "usage on battery" info are always correct. I'm not saying all, but there are so many.

[MENTION=4575777]chaki-[/MENTION] do you know where I can find a replacement battery on my G2? Then if yes I will probably destroy my phone for charging 100% all the time. :)

[MENTION=5224240]clapper66[/MENTION] , as [MENTION=466195]ddavtian[/MENTION] said, it is for nickel based batteries only and you should change the way you charge your G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clapper66:
so its bad to kill a battery down to 10% then re charge to 100%?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaki-:
I have been using my phones always the same way when it comes to charging.

Have never had issues with the batterys.

My sensation xl is more then 2 years old and still can standby more then 36hr wifi etc. on with the original battery.

What destroying are you talking about?

Thats the same if you don't drive your car, not to change your car battery......

At the end i bought that phone to use it, not other way arround.

One battery doesn't cost the world. There are service shops that can change it.

Hey guys! I bought an Xperia Z1 LTE from Phones4u (UK contract place) and took out their Phones4u care, basically if you break the phone, you can pay a fixed price and get a brand new phone either the same day if they have one, or sent straight to your home the next day. (I pay £5 extra a month for this)

Basically my question is if I have rooted my phone, do you think this plan will be void, also if I unlock my bootloader, what do you think/know?

Wondering this because I have my phone rooted right now but I'm looking to unlock my bootloader so I have more possibilities etc.

On an off note, the 'anti shatter' protector has a cut/slit in it. I've heard taking the protector off also voids your warranty, any way to get around this? Or do I have to live with a slit in my protector for aslong as I have the phone?

Attached is the lovely slit that is on my protector, driving me nuts!

Thanks!

Jake.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
I know someone who works for Phone4U and their advice to me was stay clear of such things, they are basically a scam. Having removed your phone from the box is basically reason enough to void the policy, if they can't void it in a legit way they will literally use every excuse under the sun to get you to pay for a new handset.

I'm afraid to say you have 'insurance' from a phone company...a company who make their money from selling handsets and contracts.

Hi,

At some point, after the upgrade to the Qtek test ROM (with the TMO OS) I noticed that I have a roaming indication (a solid triangle) as well as Battery level indicator at the top bar when I'm at the today screen.

Is there a way to remove the roaming icon (I'm using a TMO MDA with a TMO SIM card so I am not really roaming...)? also, can I have the "usual" clock at the top bar and also remove the battery icon there?

If you know which CAB in the TMO ExtRom is responsible for these settings, I will run it again to correct it.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thasnes:
Hi! This is my second question in this forum ... I just want to thank all of you posters as a lot of these posts has been useful for me!

My question:

Android 4.3/4.4/4.4.2

Modems: XXDME4, DDDMG1, XXEMJ5, and many more.

I've been struggling with bad reception on my N7100 (Nordic) for a while ... I can make and receive calls, but when it's like 50% signal it's almost no use and the sound is laggy and poor... I've tried a lot of different ROMs and modems here.

Android 4.1.2

Modem: DDDMG1

I tried Moon Rom with this android version and the reception and caller sound was working perfectly in the same places where it was poor with the other Roms.

So the voices and sounds are perfect with this ROM ... But I don't want to back to the "stone age" (4.1.2).

Does anyone have any working modem for me with (hopefully) a 4.4.2 ROM or a 4.3 ROM (that I can live with) ?

Or any other answer to why it's not working good with newer android versions?

You will always get a better signal/ call quality if you flash the appropriate modem for your country. Most carriers have their own modem/csc file.

since i install the Probam Kit Kat 4.4 rom my signal never be the same. I used various roms and modems combinatios but still dont have the quality of the signal thay i used to be. Also lost my mic and charging port in the process. someone has to take a look at that rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chobztopz:
Try flash your own stock country 4.3.

or, copy (your country/region *check tour country csc version) csc version.txt, sw configuration on /system and your country code csc files /system/csc/your country code (contents.db,customer.xml,other.xml,sales_code) to /system/csc

dont forget set permission rw-r-r.

I thought I could search for the modem for my country, as sawdoctor said, and found this page.

It's only 4.3, but it actually worked much better on 4.4.2! Not as much as it can, so I will try to flash the stock 4.3 firmware first, and maybe the CSC folder will appear when I install a 4.4.2 rom. I guess I will try another one than ProBAM this time, because I couldn't send sms with it.. (Maybe that has something to do with the csc folder being gone?)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thasnes:

I manage to solve my problem with sending sms messages.. It just didn't work in any rom, firmware or stock .. (Message not sent ... failed) So I found the answer here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060826

"open up Messaging, hit menu, and choose Settings. Change the field for "Message centre" to your carrier's number."

And I could also say that the calling problem is kinda solved.. The right 4.3 modem on 4.3 works, but 4.3 modem on 4.4.2 works like 90%... When in 2G mode.. = liveable. :)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chr0n03939:
Hi.

First off, I've had my sgh-t999 since launch. I rooted it, and put TWRP recovery on it. I have used multiple roms over the past year with no problems at all.

I recently went to switch to a new rom. (new version of IOKP, upgrading from old infamous rom)

steps I took:

1. Placed rom on SD

2. Booted into Recovery

3. Wiped dalvik, and did full data wipe

4. flashed rom, success

5. Rom got stuck loading and wouldn't work.

Figured I needed to reinstall the rom, as this has happened to me before on previous phones.

6. Tried to reboot into recovery, Phone would not allow me to go into recovery, the blue text appeared at the top, but the phone would reboot itself after a second of the blue text leaving. (I tried adjusting the length of time I kept the buttons pressed down, both shorter and longer, to no avail.)

7. I looked up how to fix this. I used odin and the stock T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_T999UVUEMJC_HOME.tar.md5 to flash it back to stock.

8. The phone booted fine and I was back like normal. HOWEVER, I had no 4g, no wifi, my home button didn't work, and I had a lot of other errors.

9. I figured I should try to use a different stock rom, however ODIN began giving me error messages.

<ID:0/007> boot.img

<ID:0/007> Transmission Complete..

<ID:0/007> Now Writing.. Please wait about 2 minutes

<ID:0/007> Receive Response from boot-loader

<ID:0/007> FAIL! (Write)

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

No matter what USB port I use I get the same error. I even downloaded a .PIT file and tried to flash again. Same error message.

10. Now my phone is stuck. I cannot get into the phone, I cannot get into recovery, and when in download mode it reads "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue."

11. Kies doesn't even recognize my phone.

I am at a loss for what I need to do.

In case it helps my "download mode" screen says

sgh-t999

6 counts

binary:samsung official

status:custom

secureboot:enable

warranty bit:1

bootloader ap swerv: 1

Does anyone have any idea where I should go from here? I hate being stuck. I also use my phone for work, and am losing money the longer I go without it. If anyone can provide help, I would be forever grateful.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
What is it that you're trying to flash? You need to flash the mjc firmware again, anything less than that won't work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chr0n03939:
Stock 4.3: T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_T999UVUEMJC_HOME.tar.md5 was the file I had flashed. My phone booted up, but I had no 4g and no wifi. I hooked it up to odin again to reflash the same firmware, and my phone is now stuck at the black screen that says firmware update error.

Every time I use odin it returns an error no matter what stock firmware I try and use. I tried a .PIT file in combination with T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_T999UVUEMJC_HOME.tar.md5, and it still returned an error.

Hey guy i got a balistic sg case recentpy for my one s and i would seriously recomend it to anybody
[Networking] E:V:A:
First of all, this thread should be moved to "Security Discussions".

Second, you'll have quite some additional reading to do...

Then you'll have to realize that the firmware on the baseband is on the order of 60 MB for Qualcomm and 12 MB for Intel (XMM) BP's.

Whats you propose is certainly possible, if not already done with some NSA devices. (Check out their product catalog!) And they a have help from QCOM and Intel etc.

Also, much of the BB code running in QCOMs modem devices, are for Hexagon cores, which are harder to decompile, because of proprietary reasons. But the type of interception you're talking about seem very difficult if you don't know PhD loads of GSM and other mobile phone technology.
[Networking] Cyboy:
Ha?!
[Networking] n01ce:
Hi E:V:A,

Thanks for the information. I've been investigating on how bcmon team performed their hack of the Broadcom 4329/4330 chipset on Galaxy S1.

I'm trying to check if we can apply something similar for the GSM radio.

WiFi monitor mode is just achieved by bypassing some checks on the DSP firmware like "is this packet for me?" (indeed they enable the built-in monitor mode flag of the firmware) and transfers all the received traffic on the MMC bus, on a test channel. The patched firmware is applied on the chipset by simply using Broadcom driver write functions that writes to the Wi-Fi chipset RAM (there are no signature check, and there are also some mechanisms to "overwrite" functions of the chipset ROM code).

Something similar may be achieved with the baseband. It will be more difficult as the RIL is closed-source. Stil, I think Replicant provides an open-source alternative, I have to check libsamsung-IPC and Samsung-RIL.

On Galaxy S1, the baseband is a XMM6160 as you pointed out in some thread. Lucky enough, this phone's too old to have a Snapgragon chipset with Hexagon DSP.

Decompiling the /radio/modem.bin in ARM mode makes me think it's indeed ARM and that we may be able to do something.

Despite I've very bad ARM decompilation skills, some parts of the code seem meaningful when decompiled using ARM archtiecture.

Here's some extract (reverse engineering is allowed to this extent under my country law):

ROM:0050FF0C aOemPsdPsd_utac DCB "[OEM PSD] PSD_UtaCallPsSetReqQos2gReq",0

ROM:005AFED0 aMifNjfAmfLimit DCB "i`j`m`Limit over:150charsline",0
ROM:005AFEF4 aSmsErrorInInit DCB "[SMS]Error in initialising SMS",0

ROM:007DA718 aCatTraceSta_36 DCB " CAT TRACE:: status IND cause = MS_PAGING_PENDING at Line:%u Fil"
ROM:007DA718 DCB "e: ",0x22,"%s",0x22," Func: ",0x22,"%s( )",0x22," ",0

ROM:0081A921 aT_resel_intra_ DCB "t_resel_intra_freq_high_mob",0

Baseband "modem.bin" ARM decompilation result (from what I understand, blue is successfully decompiled code, white is blank space and undecoded code, red is decompiled code with issues like references to ROM code that are indeed not part of the modem file):

By the way, this proprietary stuff (baseband + RIL) has a "backdoor" (the modem chipset actually have root access to the phone data, but that doesn't mean there's a GSM backdor in the actual baseband code).

[EDIT] After reviewing the GSM specs, SMS are carried over "Dedicate Control Channels" (between the base station and the mobile device), that the phone in certainly not going to listen to naturally. Moreover this channel, as effect of TDMA, is hopping between frequencies. As the baseband is closed-source, it's not going to be a simple hack to just read the raw radio-fraquency data and guess the next frequency hop; that's merely impossible practically without programmable standard hardware chipset or better, a dedicated hardware that sniffs all channels simultaneously. HackRF should be useful for that, but still not small-factor enough to use it as a mobile phone peripheral.
