[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire74:
So I Odin my stock firmware, install CWM and then restore backup via CWM. Isn't Nand Backup a sort of partition image? That way it should be restored no matter what firmware you're on, as It should clear entire memory and replace it with your backup. That's how it works on PC
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashvetrin:
Long story short if you want to go back to GB 2.3.6 after you flash jb you must find a vers of GB 2.3.6. that's usable in PC Odin to flash in PC Odin

For GB 2.3.6. I'm almost certain if you try and restore a nandroid backup of your phone in recovery while on your newly flashed jb rom of GB 2.3.6 you'll get stuck in a boot loop. [emoji33] look on Google about it..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire74:
Of course I already have a stock firmware stored on my PC, so I can do it.

Back to topic, is it worth try or as they say battery will drain really fast on JB?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashvetrin:
I would say its based on the ROM the more bells and whistles the more usage. But to make a blanket statement of jb would be vague and unfair there are some great devs who put out killer stuff. I ran shostock ROM on my Att S2 killer ROM great battery life awsome features. Thanks shoee..[emoji2][emoji106] but it depends on what you do and what you want.. And like I said read up on the forums of what users are saying and try and find a rom and custom kernel that will allow you to make small adjustments of the device and see how it goes. Use better battery stats and see what pulls on the battery and Google those findings. [emoji4][emoji109] flash away.. [emoji111]and no worries..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire74:
OK topic closed... I guess...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire74:
Is there a Shostock Jb for i9100? I found only for i777 or something, means for ATT version of S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashvetrin:
Let me close our by saying 7-9 days on a phone with a single charge with heavy to moderate usage? Is amazing honestly if that's what your after I'm not sure if you'll find it..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire74:
I said I have such battery life using it as just a phone and once or twice a week some wifi or 3g, just few minutes to sync calendar and get apps updates. And airplane mode during nignts, ca. 8-10 hrs per day. That's the magic, hahaha

Hey guys, if you guys realised that, the latest CWM allows us to format our internal and external SD cards into formats of our own desires like the ExFAT, ext2, ext3, ext4 and etc... But i would like to know anyone did it to format into your own preferences and how was the performance and so on. I personally tried ext4 on both my internal and external and i'm not sure whether it's slowing down my phone or what.

Happy to hear some responses from you guys as well

Hi guys, I have very big problem with my xperia. Few weeks ago i installed cyanogen mod (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/p-development/-t2626639) evrything was working fine, but suddenly when i connected my charger to phone, it do not recognized it is charging. After some time of charging battery level goes up, but phone is hot as hell. After charging to 100% phone is rebooting and staying on sony logo, its turning on only after disconecting a charger. Battery life is like 15 minutes. I have tried to reflash cyanogen, didnt help. Then i wanted to reflash stock rom but after connecting phone to computer nothing happends, computer dont see phone. I have tried a lot of chargers and cables, nothing is working fine. I was thinking tahat maybe usb port is somehow destroyed, but phone is "charging".If you can please help. Cheers.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
There is nothing wrong with it. TouchWiz needs internal storage to be placed on. it uses more than 2.5GB from the total of 8GB.

Go to Recovery mode and delete cache and data.

1. i delete wipedata/factory reset

2. i delete wipe cache partition

" root access possibly lost. Fix?"

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNCS:
That not a good sign. Can you still enter custom recovery? If you can wipe all cache (including davilk) and data folder again. If you still stuck at the Samsung logo, it means you soft bricked it. You can only flash stock firmware with ODIN and take it from there.

Hey I can go to CWM recovery I can wipe everything and I can format system etc. but it is still showing 5.33 GB. Can you write me some manual how to fix to storage?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
It will never be 8GB. The operating system occupies space on your storage which is why it uses that space.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordanubis9:
so it is 8 gb

So it is right. I noticed that if there was stock rom it showed 8 gb in the usage and the yellow part for the system was 2.5 gb. And when I flashed kitkat rom the yellow part for the system wasnt there. It starts with the green color witch is for apps.

low internal storage

My s4 mini is currently left with 300MB in internal storage so I move all the big apps which are as big as 1GB to my SD card but my internal storage is still stuck at 300MB.

Can anyone help please?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
Try using a storage analyser app with root access like "disk usage" to find out where all your space is being used. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage

I use a couple of Xposed modules like "Xinternals" to move large ODB files to external SD, but with this Android still thinks it's on the internal even though it's not. Still got to figure this one out.

There is also an app called "link2sd" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD

BUT this app is a tricky one to use and may have bugs depending on which Android your using.

I'm still experimenting myself, but your best bet is "dusk usage" and find out for yourself what's happening.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlphaLeak:
Hi

I have an xperia play which I haven't touched in a while as the flex cable broke, but I have just replaced the flex cable and the screen works :D but there is one problem, the phone does not seem to want to boot into the system, meaning that I can't use the phone.

Here is a list of things I have tried based on research on the forums:

-Fastboot: Can't boot into it using key combos, can't boot into it from recovery either.

-Flashmode: Doesn't want to boot into it either

-Recovery: I am able to get to the recovery, but I can't do too much from there,

- I have tried flashing different roms with no effect

Any help would be appreciated :)

Err, kernel? ROM?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlphaLeak:
The kernel from what I remember is one of the ones from the (almighty) DoomLord.

So far, I got the problem half solved, I've managed to get a rom working on it with the help of a friend, it's a rom that me and him quickly built based on cyanogen mod I think, either way, the phone boots into the system now, touchscreen and all is working (I'm assuming that it is since I get none to little force closes).

The only problem I have no is that I still cannot get it to go to flash/fast boot, heck, I can't even use ADB USB debugging.

I have the drivers installed and all else working on my computer as I have tested ADB with my old note 2 and I checked the fast/flash boot using my xperia z and both have worked, but the xperia play just doesn't want to do anything, I'm thinking now that it could be a broken USB port and I could replace it since I have the part and tools to do it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
does your PC recognize the phone ? If yes, how ? Anyway I would try installing the drivers again. Which OS do you use ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewer56lol:
Fastboot - When you hold in your search button when device is powered off and you plug in your USB cable to a PC which is turned ON does your LED Light on the power button light blue?

Flashmode - When you hold in your home button when device is powered off and you plug in your USB cable to a PC which is turned ON does your LED Light on the power button light green?

If either of these apply you'd need to install the appropriate drivers for the Xperia Play.

I see the new check box for Wireless Stereo but for some reason the device will not send any sound to the unit. I think it's a problem with the Omiz device or the user. Further more after I save the new partnership there is no icon in the tool bar to show Wireless Stereo or even Hands Free. Any ideas, would be wonderfull to get this little puppy going.

So my rooted phone is now soft bricked. Any help would be appreciated!

Info:

- rooted with Kingo

- recently updated with 4.3 - therefore KNOX is now installed

- didn't like 4.3 and went back to stock 4.1

so everything was working all fine and dandy for like 3 or 4 days when I accidentally updated (stupid stupid stupid stupid reflex on an early morning)

I do not have CWM installed. I have the stock img of the i317 (I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4_ATT.zip) and using Odin (as I've used it for the stock firmware I installed)

I've been getting a boot loop and would like to know if anyone out there is knowledgable enough to help me?

Please?

Thank you!

Edit:

Thank you for your quick response! Yes, I've tried and found those threads before, but I guess I forgot to mention that I also get the

If you follow that guide line by line, step by step it will work....

You can even start over from scratch right now if you need to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] natasian:
Of course I don't expect that you'll be seeing this now, but please know i do appreciate the help!

I started from scratch. But the thing is, I have been following this step by step.

I CANNOT do a factory reset.

Completed Section 1: Flashing LJ2 4.1.1 via ODIN - until Step 5 and 6.

*** Upon reboot the phone will hang. This is because of left over 4.3 file(s) not letting the system boot.

Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds, pop the battery in and boot into stock recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and do a FACTORY RESET then reboot.

When it hangs on the Pulsing Blue Samsung logo, do this step. (expect to do this)

Odin showed a green PASS! but it is still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo. I have followed every step and every file to the letter that you recommended... I am unsure what to do now. I left it just in case it went to boot, but it's been 15 - 20 mins already... :confused: :( I'm happy to just get i back to 4.1 even ":((
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
So after ODIN finishes... It reboots. You pull the battery and do the VOL UP HOME POWER combo, and it does not bring up stock recovery ?

Should like like this... Then you do the factory reset option
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] natasian:
It does not. It gets stuck in Samsung Galaxy Note II logo. I know how to do Download mode and recovery mode. That's my problem. There is NO recovery mode anymore. I followed everything to the letter. If I am able to get to recovery mode, I will do a wipe and factory reset everything then problem solved... however this became a problem after the accidental update so I don't know what to do anymore. </3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
K. Flash the param/tz file in ODIN. That should bring recovery mode back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] natasian:
WORKED!!! I am now back on 4.1.1

Interesting it's keeping on checking for updates.

You can try going to applications, scroll pages over to All. Scroll down to ATT software update, press it and clear cache

I have updated my HTC Desire S to JB 4.3.1 Carbon Firmware

Ever since the upgrade my battery life has decreased substantially.

Suggestions please?

Thanks in advance

Install a Sense ROM
[HTC Desire S] rkumbhar:
SVHD 2.1.0 gives you best battery life
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
Battery life varies from devise to devise and is as per usage... its better to try different roms and see which ROM is giving best battery life,for some its SVHD for some its fallout.
[HTC Desire S] selwynk:
Thanks for this, will investigate
[HTC Desire S] DragonFatura:
Recommendation

zeus.lny is right

But for better battery life it's recommended Stock Sense ROM.

It's just my advise :D
[HTC Desire S] m4rvin88:
I got a decent battery life out of an old CoreDroid ROM but that decreased over time to a point where the phone was not usable further away from a charging point so I switched to Cyanogenmod and have a decent battery life again.

Question

OK then.

I've got a question: How long you own Desire S?

Maybe, you've an old battery which have worse battery life...
[HTC Desire S] toni_mon:
Use a sense ROM usually you will get better battery life, also check your battery if it has started to phisically change (in the middle of battery you may have a discrete bump) if this is the situation than don't use that battery because that may physically damage your phone,sorry for my bad English
