hello friends,

i have a xperia mini pro SK17i, i've got it about one and a half year earlier, it was working fine but suddenly it wasn't charging properly and after i charged it fully, it was finished in 2 or 3 hours. and then it won't even start. every time i start, it starts with a vibration, sony erricson logo comes and the screen goes blank, it starts again and keeps starting again and again unless i take the battery out. so if any one has any suggestion and solution about it, please let me know.

thanks a lot.

I am making a kernel for SGY.Using a virtual machine of Ubuntu 13.10 to build it.Now which defconfig shall I choose? Below is the list of different defconfigs.

Immediate help needed!!

Using Opensource Samsung 2
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hnkotnis:
You are selecting it for "make", command, right?

Then use this

"bcm21553_totoro_05_defconfig"

I am also working on my 3rd kernel (never released first two on XDA) with virtual Ubuntu 12.04 (everything is done except testing). BTW what features you are going to add? Droidwall, ext4 etc.

Press Thanks if helped.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hnkotnis:
I would suggest Droidwall, ext 4 so no problem for CM. Lot of tweaking can be buggy.

Governors:-

BCM21553 and Performance original and

Conservative, lulzactice, smartassV2 for battery and performance balance. (3 extra will be enough. No one really uses more than 2 governor and I/O scheduler)

Only add noop, sio, cfq in I/O scheduler. Others are a bit unstable.

Important about CPU Frequencies.

Add frequencies like 314,624.....

Do not use 4xx MHz (I don't remember x digit). It is unstable.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhoene:
I live outside US, and I am planning to visit US in the following weeks.

I want to buy a (non-contract) Nexus 5 by paying cash, I can not buy from Google Play Store.

I looked at BestBuy, but it seems they are selling Nexus 5 16GB version for $499.

So, is there any other retailer that has a reasonable price?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
For 30 euro`s more you have a international N5 16GB with easier warranty (geographicly) and LTE comptability on Amazon for instance.

BTW on top of the 399 USD price you also have to pay for taxes and shipping.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Please stop spamming XDA forum. This is your 4th thread about buying a Nexus 5 now. 1 thread is enough! Please re-use your existing threads instead of creating new ones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhoene:
They are about different things...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No, they are not. They are all about whether you should by a Nexus 5 and where you should get your nexus 5 from.

Please keep it to one single thread. we don't want to keep coming up on the same thread every week. Just post it once and leave it at that. This is a developers forum, not a "help me buy a nexus 5" forum, so one thread would easily suffice.

Thank you!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
I guess I'm going to have to wait until tonight to try this, the download site isn't working on my phone or my work computer. I can get to the d2tmo screen but it just says "select a release type" but then it's just blank, it isn't showing me any links for either the nightly or stable.

Different device but I do have the 1/31 release working well on my nexus 7. Only just flashed it last night so I can't wait to get home and play with it some more.

one more Rom For our device

Will try and update my feedback
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ndwgs:
Nice. I'll have to try this !!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
I know they won't start until tomorrow but was curious, how do 'delta" updates work? Is it just a different link on the download page, is there an updater built into the rom? Sorry, I've never used it before so I don't know much about it other than just the general facts.

If you haven't read their site and don't know what I'm talking about I'm referring to this, from the carbon-rom website:

"Delta updates should be functioning this Tuesday, meaning when you are trying to update to the nightlies built on Tuesday (2am EST), you should be able to use Delta to do so. "
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yanikd:

I've been waiting for Carbon 4.4 since it was announced... The only issue I've had was my device kept crashing if i was streaming audio via bluetooth. I don't have the bluetooth speaker with me currently, its at work but when i get back i'll get a log.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bass_Man25:
Ok. I am impressed. This has got to be the first KK ROM that has Bluetooth actually working. So far, the ROM seems really snappy.

However, I noticed that it doesn't go into deep sleep.

Any kernel recommendations for this ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yanikd:
No problems with deep sleep here. I am currently rocking ktoonsez kt747 kernel.

What about adjusting the screen resolution for this rom? How do you do it? Icons are huge and any background I used before are blurry. Even nice HD ones :(

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

What governor and I/O scheduler should I use? noticed there are alot of I/O schedulors. I used to use row. Ive read that for governors freelunch or intellidemand are good for battery life which is what im after. But what about I/O schedulors?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
don't know about screen resolution adjustments, but you can make icons smaller if you pack them denser by adjusting rows/columns settings (default is 4/4).

I stick to row i/o for now as it gives me best performance while using power saving (e.g. freelunch) or balanced (e.g. interactive) governors. it's not too good for performance mode governor tho. cfq is another choice - it's the default in stock ROMs, sio would be another (default in some aftermarket builds).

install ANtutu benchmark and play around checking the scores, you will see. I spent better part of yesterday on that eating through 2 stock batteries while doing so LOL.

I changed the DPI from 320 to 240 and the only thing that changed was the icons got smaller, but the background still looks like its so zoomed in. Does anyone know how to fix the background issue? The rom is great but if I cant use any previous wallpapers this thing is going.

Been running this for a day now. When I get a text I get whats seen in the first photo I attached below. Unfortunately, somehow when my phone is face down on a desk or flips face down in my bag I get whats the the 2nd photo, which I hate. When I go to Carbon Fibers -> lockscreen I have Active Display off, but I dont see any setting anywhere that I can turn off the black screen with the notification below the circle. its hard to read, especially when its bright out. I dont have any of the "pocket" setting boxes checked either. Its driving me crazy! How do I make it stop doing that when the phone gets flipped down?

Why does it keep switching and how do I make it stop? IS it possible this could be fixed in the next update?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JustZaphod:
I would consider the 7-27 build to be very stable..

I'm using at my Daily driver, and with the DKP kernel, "having used others yet"

I find it to work almost flawlessly.. with almost zero issues.. Most nightlies are quite stable..

Its that every now and then a nightly might break something, but always fixed by the next build..

I have used both Pacrom, and Carbon, not to mention S3Rx, and all 3 are great in their own ways..

I would trust most nightly builds to be more stable than most "Stable" official releases..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Carbon team updated their post on g+, seems they are rebuilding server raid array with HDD replacement. That means possibly in morning Carbon Downloads may be back online - holding my fingers crossed!

And I agree with Zaphod, their nightly builds are in general better than others Stable releases, pretty amazing how well they are done. For me everything works flawless too!

Personally I found only one annoyance, that is inability to filter contacts only with phone numbers in People app ... Maybe I should get a different app for contacts management, because its impossible to scroll through nearly a thousand entries from which most are email addresses synced from mail accounts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
I think I encountered one flaw in carbon, latest one only I think. Sometimes after a few hours of use, phone stops locking the screen despite correct security settings. Have seen this with either pin or slide lock. When it happens the screen turns off, but upon wake it is unlocked already.

GS3-T999L : SOKP-V-01-KK444 & DKP Kernel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
it could have something to with the fact that I am getting wake locks on my T999 phone running latest Carbon 7/27 with DKP Kernel 7/26.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] patcal:
I had the same problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Been running this for a few days now. Im noticing that the phone gets very hot and starts to lag, until it freezes. Eventually it manages to unfreeze without force closing anything. Its even worse when its charging. Im not sure what the problem is. Im using the newest stable version along with the newest DKP kernel. Noop and freelunch, 384-1500 for performance. Probably will have to nandroid back to my previous rom until a new stable version comes out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdotdot:
Try a different kernel first. Or wipe cache/dalvik and see if that helps. Also keeping an eye out for rogue processes that could be eating up cycles would be a good idea.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Now the phone shuts off after the screen turns off. And I cant get into recovery to get rid of this awful mess.

For the 8/1 nightly that was uploaded, can I flash that as a standalone rom or do I need a previous stable version of Carbon rom already running? Is 8/1 stable?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Each ROM is a standalone, you can flash it as you would normally, it will also rewrite kernel to CM stock. I actually dumped dkp for now as I think it is having stability issues like unusually long boot times sometimes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mp3deviant721:
Flash and go. No need to dirty flash with an older version of Carbon already installed.

Nobody that I know of has reported issues with 8/1. Flash it and try for yourself.

I still can't repeat single songs, even on the 08/01 nightly. It's so weird.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
which player are you using? Google Play, Power Amp? running stock CM kernel?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
It happens with any player. Tried Apollo, Google, and my default, Zplayer. Only problem I've encountered with the latest nightlies.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Let me try that on GPlay and Poweramp. 10 more mins to finish copying my MP3 to the phone, something I haven't done yet since rooting and full wipe. I'm on 8/01 Carbon and stock CM kernel here, DKP Kernel was I think causing some weirdness for me (or it was the 7/27 Carbon, not sure yet).

Forgot to mention, on former Carbon 7/27 the volume down button during phone call was not working for me LOL, very annoying, need to double check that too ;)

will let you know soon if I have any trouble with a single song repeat.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

song repeat works fine for me in GPlay.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

just noticed the latest 8/1 carbon comes with new CM Kernel 3.4.101 ! latest DKP was older than that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Flashed the 8/1 version this morning and did not flash DKP over it. Didnt change any settings on it yet. There is still a terrible lag from when I press a button or select an option to when something actually happens on the phone. Closing apps im having to use the back button to kill because everything freezes. Phone still gets really hot, and all this freezing happens especially when its charging and im trying to use it.

Are all 4.4 roms like this? Maybe theres a better 4.4.4 one I should try? I dont understand why it gets even worse over a few days on my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Factory reset it and try again. Other than that it could be a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
I did a format system when I flashed both versions. What would factory reset do on a custom ROM? I also dont have a LTE phone, i have a regular Tmobile T999 one
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
I meant a full wipe of all partitions including system, data and boot. Yeah, the term factory reset doesn't mean much for a custom ROM.

You can try a different ROM too and see or go back to what you had before.

If problem doesn't exist on other/stock ROM than its not hardware related.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
What if its hardware related and I have the same issues on another rom? What can be done? Never had this happen before with other devices
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
not sure, maybe pull the battery out first and let it sit for a few minutes before putting things together, then boot to Restore mode and wipe Cache/Dalvik again to see if it helps maybe?

Hot battery may mean a few things, maybe a bad battery (try toggling NFC to off) or something in phone software causing constant high CPU usage or a problem due to a dirty process hanging and stealing resources while it should be idling.

If you have Antutu benchmark installed, it has a widget that shows battery temps, CPU usage and RAM usage, also make sure the Performance tab shows you are running the default governor (interactve) and i/o scheduler (row), make sure there CPU clocks min and max are at default (384 and 1512).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
really? i don't know why it didn't work for me. could you try it with ZPlayer off Google Play (i don't know if it's a paid or free app though). I think i'll wait for the next nightly to give it another go. thank you for your help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
The battery is fine. never had an issue on my previous 4.3 rom with a hot battery. I left the governor and scheduler as is. The phone is fine when its been sitting and I go to use it, there is no lag. But if its sitting on the charger or ive been using it for more than 5 minutes it lags and freezes horribly.

Is there an app to check if there is a dirty process hanging?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
EXV, I checked the ZPlayer free and the single song repeat does NOT work in it, music just stops. In Play Music (Google) it works, but you have to press the repeat button twice until you see "1" next to it (then it becomes a single song repeat/loop) otherwise if you press it once it loops the album I think.

ZPlayer was kinda long unupdated tho, the date says Dec 31st 2013 ... uninstalled it. I prefer Play Music for most stuff (discovered today it read FLAC format now!) or PowerAmp if I need fancier controls.

not sure, I don't have this problem at all. If you having this trouble after clean install (wipe ALL then flash only ROM+GAPPS) without any apps then it could mean something about the phone itself, like overheating CPU ... that being said, what does Antutu Benchmark's widget say about battery temperature when phone is experiencing this behavior? any higher than 40C?

By the way, there is new Carbon released today 8/03. Carbon Team really sped those updates up LOL! hard to keep my phone up to date nowadays LOL!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
It was at 55C today. What do I need to wipe when you mean Wipe ALL? It doesnt look like anything significant was updated for the 8/3 version from the changelog
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
wow, 55C on battery thermal probe? that's burning hot!

I would replace the battery to see, maybe yours is simply bad, but mine pretty much stays around 35C at room ambient, grows up to maybe 40ish C when running benchmarks ... i've never seen it over 50C ... those devices have thermal throttling you know, CPU will drop some cycles to cool off when it's too hot and temps measured at battery may be coming from either, hope it is just the battery and not the CPU overheating...

by wipe all, I meant, copy your data and wipe EVERYTHING in TWRC, advanced wipe menu, all except external SD card.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
The paid version has been recently updated. Still doesn't work. But I did notice Google Music does. Updated to the latest nightly but then something happened and my phone became extremely lethargic and laggy.

I reverted back to 07/13 nightly since it's been extremely stable for me. I don't really see a need to update unless something big has changed. Thanks again for your help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
Yeah, some things are weird in latest Carbon builds since 7/24, I noticed a slight lag myself on last 2-3 builds, especially when somebody calls me, it takes good 1-2 secs before I can see the slider for call pickup or the picture of caller (if synced from social media). might go back to 7/13 build too and see. I care more about reliability and response than new features.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] L1LK1LLERZ:
Don't know if this has been said yet, but my bluetooth keeps on crashing while it's connected to my car's bluetooth, I already tried a fresh install, but hasn't worked out for me yet. I am on the 7/3 nightly. Hoping to get this fixed. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
I have a small chart of performance tests (mostly Antutu test runs) and it seems that 7/13 carbon is quite faster than newest builds since 7/24. yet to test 7/13 carbon with dkp 7/5 kernel or LeanKernel.

I didn't have trouble with BlueTooth tho on any build from July/Aug, it worked fine with wireless headpiece or car's OBD2 adapter (I don't have BT adapter for car stereo).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
I have the same issue on the 7/24 version. I have to wait a few seconds to actually see who is calling and before I can even slide to answer. I also care about reliability than some cool features. I might go back to the 7/13 build. Is the website back up so I can grab it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenixus:
issue is no more after I flashed back to 7/13 build of Carbon, with either Kernel - stock CM 3.4.98 or dkp dated 7/05 (based on 3.4.95), no more laggy incoming call slider! :)

and yes, Carbon Downloads are up again.

Carbon is a good ROM so far, save for some recent builds "improvements" (pretty normal in terms of Nightly releases, to be expected probably).

The only thing I kind of miss is the ability for WiFi calling... I wish some 4.4.4 ROM developer did the magic on that. I think all it takes (at first at least) would be to have a stock S3 Verizon or T-mobile 4.4.4 ROM with WiFi calling in it and then reverse engineer it like they did in past with 4.1 and 4.3 ROMs.

As far as I read T-mo made WiFi Calling sources available to Google in past, not sure why they didn't incorporate it natively into Android by now...
