[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kamy:
Hi guys, I am going to tell you a problem I faced after updating to Kit Kat and how I could manage to solve it.

Previously on 4.3 I had a very decent battery life ~7 hrs on screen for about 3 days on battery.

Once Kit Kat was out for my region I downloaded whole firmware and flash it through PC odin and wiped cash and data/factory reset after flashing.

The phone became more responsive and smooth though I faced a huge wakelock and consequently massive drop in battery life.

I also got another problem that once I wake the phone up by "home hey" to only see for example what time is without unlocking it, it took 1 min to turn off the screen again.

By monitoring CPU using both Bettery battery stat and CPU spy reborn I could see that most of the time CPU was occupied in 300 Mhz and it won't go to deep sleep as in JB 4.3.

View attachment 2574832

Better battery stat didn't let me to find out which app is culprit as I didn't have root permission.

I tried to reboot to recovery and performed wipe cash and data/factory reset but no success; still with no app installed I got huge wakelock.

So I decided to flash the firmware one more time but tried to make a clean flash; here is procedure:

1. Delete a folder called android in internal card and move all content to PC

2. Reboot to recovery wipe cash, wipe data/factory reset(I guess this step is the key which I missed last time right before flashing the firmware)

3. Fire up odin and select what you need to flash

4. once again wipe cash, wipe data/factory reset before booting to system

4. After the procedure done install any app to monitor your CPU status to see what is going on.

That's all and I got ~90% deep sleep as I expected. Also the problem of turning off the screen(without unlocking it) is solved and it takes 5 sec to turn off now.

Hello folks

I hope if there's any right place at xda for what I want to ask it is the "networking" subforum... If not then I'd like to apologize. :angel:

In the near future (heck in about one week!) I'm starting my journey to America. I'll be in New York for two weeks and then go to Toronto. After two to four weeks there I want to start travelling through Canada (backpacking). And as I have half a year time (or as long as my money suffices :D) I really want to go everywhere (except for the far northern part of Canada). Now... I am asking myself what would be the best solution in terms of "connectivity"!?

As I am from small Switzerland I don't really know how it works with different carriers covering different areas because here all the carriers cover the whole country so it's nothing I'd consider when choosing a carrier. Is it like roaming when you're in a region where your carrier doesn't have his own antennas but another one has?

Some other questions are:

0. Will my Sony Xperia Z (bought in Norway :cool:) work in CA & US? (Model Number C6603)

1. Is there any possibility to have a number in NYC and also use it for Canada without a lot of trouble?

2. Would you choose to have a contract (I guess you also call it a plan) or would you go with a prepay card for each of the two countries and just load it with money from time to time?

3. I found this pretty neat site called coveragemapper (unfortunately I cannot post the link... :(). According to this site Bell / Telus and Rogers Wireless have the best coverage. Do you think either of them is a good choice?

I know xda is everything but a travelers-forum but I thought everyone who's here really knows the different plans and options from each carrier and how it all works! ;) So I hope that you can help me out with some information! ;)

greets from Switzerland

[Networking] evildave_666:
You will of course have GSM voice coverage, and decent LTE where it is available. 3G coverage is going to be spotty with that model. North America does not use WCDMA Band I which is the ubiquitous default band in most of the world and that model lacks most of the 3G bands used in the US. (As far as I can tell you only have band V available to you)

Yes, frequency bands in North America are a total mess compared with the rest of the world. (And the pervasiveness of cdmaOne and friends make it even worse)
[Networking] hell-o-world:
Hi evildave

Thanks for your reply! Okay, that's good to hear at least it'll work. I do have an old Galaxy Nexus which I could use as well if that's any better. But anyways I won't be depending on my internet connection on my travels. At least hopefully. :eek:
[Networking] evildave_666:
You would have more consistent and reliable data service with the Galaxy Nexus (at the cost of peak speed).
[Networking] hell-o-world:
Okay, thanks. Actually I dislike the Nexus since I am an audiophile and need a lot of memory space for my music. :D But I'll see, maybe I'll take it anyways and have it as a spare phone.^^

Hi there,

I am facing an issue related to 2g signal on Su640 stock rom v30d.

2g signal is almost 0, and sometimes the phone shows emergency call only. I must switch network mode to 3g in order to make calls.

If I flash CM10.1 rom, 2g signal is very strong.

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advanced!

On the CES 2013 countless video reports showed a extra tile for apps on the Magazine UI. Like this one from Engadget

[YOUTUBE]xyRtYxBeSWE[/YOUTUBE]

YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyRtYxBeSWE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Well, there isn't such a tile on the Magazine UI that came with my Note 12.2 . It makes the UI rather useless for me.

Anyone got a version that has this ability? Am I missing something?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] MO11:
I have watched lots of videos on youtube about the tablet and all said it comes with three pages loaded (personal , multimedia and business pages) and since in CES a lot of reviewers who were covering the introduction of the tablet they edit the magazine ux to add more widgets etc. but in all cases you are able to add your own widgets as i see in all videos etc but if you are not able to add that then something must be missing from the system etc

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] appelflap:
Don't see why. Maybe they just discovered some bugs before release.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] MO11:
The thing is those missing tiles represent a lot to the whole magazine ux they showcase as without them its no difference than just a maximized flipboard . after all I don't like it after the final release and will just use nova as usual as it would be way fast and more customizable.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] appelflap:
Another thing that isn't implemented is the ability to create mini tiles. Let's hope it all comes back again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raojwi:
Hi guys!

I've been experiencing some SoD (Sleep of Death) episodes about 3 weeks ago. I've been searching for a solution ever since.

Specifications:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S i9000;

ROM: currently stock 2.3.4 - I9000XXJWQ

Problem:

-phone keeps shutting down by itself, regardless of what I'm doing. Sometimes, when I reboot, the battery level shows 4-14%. After a second reboot, the battery shows the normal level of 60-70% (the level that was shown when the shut down occur)

-drastic drops on battery levels (screenshot attached - I've been experiencing some more drastic drops than that)

Tried, but no results:

1. I tried other ROMs (6 of them), from JB to KK (Cyanogen McKay SlimBin etc. found on xda) +wipes

2. I tried other battery - still my phone shuts down itself

3. Flash stock kernel and ROM with Odin

4. Battery recalibration didn't work either- I don't know if I made it correct. Read here a post about it and I understand that wiping batterystats.bin dose nothing but clearing the history of the battery consumption. Also, I think that flashing stock ROM took care of wiping that file so no need for calibration (correct me if I'm wrong please). Also, I think trying another battery excluded the possibility of a faulty one.

5. Checked the connection between the phone and the battery. Also I've wrapped the battery in a paper to make sure it didn't move. The phone shutting down even when it stud still on the desk made me think it was not the problem.

6. Wi-Fi setting about sleep: From "Never" to "When screen of"

Q: What do I do next? :confused:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScratMan38:
Hi, I have some issues with S-Voice on my Galaxy S3.

When I use S-Voice to send a text message or make a call by using contact name (for example if I say "Call François Dupont"), it records my sentence, starts the voice recognition phase, and perfectly writes back my sentence on the screen, but nothing happens. It does not call Mister Dupont as I asked him.

But if I tell him the phone number instead of contact name, it's working perfectly, so if I say "Call 01 99 88 77 66", S-Voice use an audio feedback to tell me he is calling the given number, and it starts the call.

Someone else with the same issue ? is there a solution somewhere ?

I'm using ArchiDroid 1.7.9 (based on stock 4.3 UGNA7) with bloatware package installed, I face the same issue with an older stock ROM (it was the stock Samsung MK1), and it worked again with a previous AD version (1.7.6, based on ML4 if I remember well).

What is causing this ? it looks like S-Voice is unable to access the contact list...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
If you've installed the whole bloatware before first boot, then there's no way that something could not work properly (I'm talking about .zip package).

Eventually you can compare my deodexed bases with stock bases, but I highly doubt that deodexing could cause such strange issues, especially because it works in some much more customized releases (ArchiDroid).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekboy26:
I'm going to read this all through, I've never been able to use the S voice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScratMan38:
I tried both, it does not change the behavior whether I flash the bloatware package before or after first boot. The only thing that seems to have an effect is the version of the base ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
I'm out of ideas then. You'd need to compare my deodexed base with stock base, it's the only thing which comes to my mind.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScratMan38:
I agree with you, it seems the issue is not from your mods but from stock samsung firmwares. With the stock Samsung ML2 (official firmware) it doesn't work, but with your modded ML4 it is working.

I made this post mainly to inform you it was not your fault if S-Voice was failing, but only Samsung's fault.

The only thing I don't understand is why I'm the only one to report this issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScratMan38:
Update : with the UGNB1 firmware, using the corresponding ArchiDroid ROM (v1.7.13), S-Voice is working correctly, it correctly resolves the contact's name and asks for the text of the message.:victory:

Hope Samsung will keep it the good way for future updates.

Is anyone else finding the shutter lag really bad on this phone? After I press the capture button it seems like it freezes the frame and takes a photo, but then clearly continues the exposure for another half second or so before finalizing, meaning if you move the camera it goes into blursville.

In general it seems pretty bad at capturing anything in motion (and I mean mild motion, not requiring sports mode).

I'm really stunned as to how Sony can have allowed such a flawed camera onto a flagship device. In ideal conditions like sunlight etc it takes AMAZING photos, pretty much digicam quality... but you almost need a tripod to get a clear shot in lower light conditions. It's a bit of a bummer for a device which is in every other respect awesome. :(

Dear all,

Would you mind checking the manufacturing date of your Z1C and share?

I wrote in a different thread:

I bought the device and I was very disappointed with the camera. I tried different modes and settings and in all of them the same photos I took with the galaxy S2 were significantly better (more focused, less noise, more vivid colors, more details in crops..) ! (regular scenes/light conditions).

In addition I have the flash leakage problem..

Also the camera looses focus during video capture..

...

I think maybe the first manufacturing line has these problems which are also reported online, could you kindly check the manufacturing date of your device?

Mine is Oct, 2013 (black version)

Thanks !!

I'm also a bit disappointed by the camera to be honest. My previous phone was the galaxy S2. In my opinion the camera performs pretty bad under low lightning (manual mode, no settings touched) and also not really special under normal conditions. Maybe I just suck at photographing.
