Hi guys,

So I've finally caved in after all the low space messages I'm getting and want to reflash CM on my I777 Galaxy S2 but none of the guides I've found are very newbie friendly. Anyone have recommendations on how I can do this on the this model? thank you in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
So it turns out it was a data/logs issue with log files getting way too big. My phone is rooted and after some searching, I still couldn't see the logs folder. I ended up downloading a program called LogEraser which did it, and can be set to erase logs on boot. Solved!

[Nexus 7 General] LeighR:
A lot of us have the slow charging problem. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem and the micro USB port isn't the highest quality and suffers from wear and tear. I've already replaced one and was going to have to do a second.

Instead, I've come up with a brute force solution that seems to be working. Whether it's hardware or software or green aliens, I simply increased the current flow by increasing the voltage. I bought a 5.6V 2A generic charger off eBay and wired a micro USB charger cable to it. Just two wires, +ve and -ve. Seems to be working. I tried 6V but the tablet rejected it.

It's not perfect but I can charge the tablet in about 4-5 hours, as opposed to 2 days. I'll post updates if anyone is interested.
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
I too have this problem, but i really didn't notice it till i had to go on a trip a friend and was gone 4 days. the tablet was on, but asleep.

When i got back the tablet was dead. it seemed to take over a full day of charging to get it back to full. Then a couple of days later i had got my Y charger adapter. i installed it, and added a USB stick for more storage.

I found out the next day i had to go out of town again, but i was going to drive this time. After being on the road a few hours playing videos, i noticed my tablet using more power than it was charging. So i removed the Y thinking it was faulty even tho it showed it was charging. I still had a slow charging problem with it removed.

I would like to know if this did indeed fix your issue.
[Nexus 7 General] LeighR:
It's not perfect but it will at least maintain battery whilst gaming with brightness up. Charging when off is WAY quicker than a standard 5V charger
[Nexus 7 General] weedy2887:
I've been "fixing" my Apple wired chargers for use with my Android devices.

## SKIP THIS IF YOU USE STOCK CHARGER ##

Probably 99.9% of android devices will expect shorted data pins, which is supposed to be the USB charging port standard. There are manufacturers that deviate slightly from this. For example Samsung adds 1.2volts to the data pins to signal that it's connected to a Samnsung charger and try to pull more amps (mostly for their early tablets). With the the S4 they added another signal voltage for their new 2 amp charger.

## END SKIP##

Now for my point. My Nexus7, and S3 use the smb347 management IC (maybe the S4 too). It is picky when it comes to input voltage, and in the case of the Nexus7 it was programmed to be EXTRA picky. The USB standard port voltage is 5.0 ±0.25, while I believe a USB3 dedicated charging port raised this to 5.3volts. I would personally not follow LeighR advice and set up a supply to feed my devices with over 5.4volts.

If I was you I would look for chargers with a voltage under load of atleast 5.2. Use a multimeter to measure, I love the ChargerDoctor, but they used cheap connectors it drops a lot of voltage on top of the parasitic usage.

[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
weedy2887, my issue is that my tablet is a permanent install in a car, so i must use 12V-DC.

I have a 5.0V charger plugged into a cigarette lighter, and using the factory USB cable that can be plugged into an AC or DC connector.

Any suggestions for a fixed car mount?
[Nexus 7 General] LeighR:
Weedy2887 is correct that over voltage is of course a potential danger to your device. However, if the voltage is too high, your tablet/phone will reject it.

The voltmeter idea looks great but the problem is with the N7 microUSB connector. So you could be supplying 5.3 volts but high resistance due to a poor connection will drop some voltage and the potential difference actually reaching the battery will be lower, hence the slow charge.

He is of course correct that if your tablet is NOT faulty, it is not a good idea to hit it with a high voltage.

I like the idea of a smart charger - is it a constant current generator? Or does it detect current drawn and vary voltage accordingly? That would be an excellent solution. In any case, some great info posted, thanks.

Regarding the car installation, if your tablet has the super slow charging problem and you want to copy my solution, you'll need to find an in-car charger that puts out 5 and a bit volts and then wire on a micro USB connector.
[Nexus 7 General] weedy2887:
Being permanently installed changes nothing. You still need to pick a better supply.

Something adjustable, and then buy a micro usb plug:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Adjustable-B...814?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5667dc04a6

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/10PCS-Right-...567?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eca7f994f

or a better cig converter:

http://www.amazon.ca/Anker®-Dual-Po...id=1407657253&sr=8-2&keywords=powerIQ+charger

I dislike the idea of relying on the device to reject over voltage, it just feels dirty to me. And your point about connector losses is interesting. You could calibrate the charger with the tablet open and a multimeter on the solder behind the socket.

The "smart" part of the charger is it can detect what the client device is and setup the right pin out on the plug. IE: Apple, Android, HTC, or Samsung.
[Nexus 7 General] LeighR:
All very valid points. Agreed
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
I'm not understanding how this item is better than what i'm using.

This says:

PowerIQ™ technology maximizes compatibility with Android, Apple or other devices by enabling charge speeds of up to 2.4 amps.

What i'm using now says it is a 5 amp.

http://www.usbzilla.com/chrager-adapter-sony-xperia-icon-sola-p-1741.html

The one i had before had 2 connections. (1.5 amp and 2.1 amp bought from CVS)

This fixed the N7 I had. Takes about twenty minutes. Carefully pop the battery out, take out some screws to get access to the ribbon cable contact at the bottom, clean it and reconnect. Clean the top contact too by the battery plug.

It's not the usb port it's those damn little contacts on the ribbon cable.
[Nexus 7 General] LeighR:
In your case it was the ribbon cable. And you're right, it could be for other people too. But in other cases it's a worn microusb port or other issues.
[Nexus 7 General] weedy2887:
Watts are not amps.

It's probably wired for Apple.

It doesn't matter what the side of it says it will put out.

The only thing that matters is what the tablet THINKS it can pull. After that is all down to the voltage level it will sustain under load.
[Nexus 7 General] MXR2:
This method works for me, although not perfect. From frustratingly long 22 hour charge time down to 6 hours on 1.5amp charger
[Nexus 7 General] weedy2887:
While the improvement is great, your still charging in USB mode.

The tablet will charge in a little over 2 hours if it's pulling over an amp from a charger.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumiamike:
its been one of those nights !!

My trusty old lumia 720 is on o2 Uk and Cyan became available today

currently the phone was running 8.1 dp but not update 1

as is the way the phone would not dl Cyan as 8.1 dp is blocked from recieving Cyan

tried to downgrade to 8.0 with NSRT but the software would not write to the Rom

reinstalled pc NSRT , ran the software and at 1% write, the process failed !!

NSRT as usual says power and vol down and click ok to recover on Pc

tried everything but the phone is now un responsive, appearing dead

no matter what i cannot get a flicker from it

my guess is the write process over wrote the start of the rom enough to stop a boot

i have had a dable with the NCS software but i am missing the top option ?? which is shown in the walkthrough

can any of you guys throw any light on or IF the phone is recoverable at all ??
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djamol:

1st install latest NSRT(WP8.1 compatible) with required drivers & tools.

Check your phone driver also Boot Manager driver sometimes it fails. check your .ffu online, download & write.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] For the Love of Tech:
The Nokia Software Recovery Tool is a funny thing. I've been using it a lot the last few days, and I've had lots of problems. I used it on a 1520. The USB recognizes the phone and when it restarts to install the software the PC doesn't recognize the phone. That happens on ONE of my two USB drives.

When I used it with my 1020, the NSRT didn't even recognize the phone. The PC did because it opened up the WP app automatically but NSRT said "Please Connect Phone" still.

All of these problems were solved by simply using a different PC and that is my advice to you. If that doesn't work, take it into a Microsoft Store.

Anybody know if This PDA can support 4GB miniSD?

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] maca2406:
The Wizard is miniSD compatible. miniSD is derived of the SD specification that support up to 2GB memory cards. 4GB cards are SDHC compatible derived of the SDHC specification. For this reason 4GB memory cards are not compatible with the wizard neither with TyTN. I don't know any 4GB miniSD card from any fame manufacturer.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] blazoner:
From that SanDisk article:

Notice, they say "non-compliant" and NOT "non-existent." They are obviously cow-towing to device manufacturers here, plus expecting us to foot the bill!

The problems I've heard of with these cards are:

1.) They don't last as long. (Neither did 3.5" Low-Density Floppy Disks when formatted as High-Density, but I've still got a few originals hanging around that work....) It would be great to know what proccess they were using to create these drives as opposed to the 2GB ones....

2.) The card may need to be repartitioned into 2-2GB drives. (See this thread)

please remember that just because it doesn't meet the new standard, doesn't mean it doesn't work with the older standard-devices :D

I, for one, am grateful there are vendors serving this sub-market, even though the major players are moving on!

4gb minisd card works in the wizard!

I recieved the card today from mobymemory (£60) http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD_4096mb_MOBY_002

and my wizard registered the card as having nearly 3.9GB memory - good start. The card does seem slighter thinner than my 2gb card (i was expecting fatter) and feels a bit flimsier in the hand. However mobymemory state the card is well made - 'These are high grade SLC (Single layer construction) cards.' The usb stick adaptor is v nice and small enough to fit in my wallet - i have put my 2gb card in that.

I backed up my 2gb card in my pc and added some more music files so that the memory used is in excess of 2gb as commonly quoted for 4 gb cards work on these devices. I then put the 4gb card in the card reader (has to be usb 2.0 compatible) and connected to pc. Good pc recognized card and confirmed size and that it was fat32 (hmm interesting, it is often stated only fat cards work) Then i transferred all the files - which was slow - this is not a fast data transfer (write) card and took 1hour + yawn. At this stage i was worried that the card would be too slow on the device especially playing videos. But when i placed card back in my wizard - all seemed well - videos, music, games all played well with no lag except spb airislands which seem to stutter abit with the music - but i think this is because the game writes to the card as it plays. All other games inc g-prime extreme, doom, etc.. seemed fine.There was a slight slowdown when browsing the card with file explorer but i repeat slight. When you copy and paste a file it is slow - obviously a slow write speed. So i would not think this card is good for writing videos to via say coolcamera but is good for viewing them. I would suggest recording videos to main memory and then transfer to the card.

I took pictures both with the standard camera and coolcamera and they saved to storage card no problem :)

I still have nearly 1.8gb free - nice one!

I am happy :D and will keep the forum posted on reliability.

Personally i am v pleased with the card and the only drawback is the write speed - but for 4gb its worth it!

EDIT 2 glitches with this card - firstly when saving files in pocket word and excel it seems to take along time - the only work around i can see is to save to main memory and backup on storage card. Secondly with windows media player - songs play fine no problem but when you exit there is a 5-10 sec freeze on the device because some info is getting saved to storage card. I have worked out its the library database on the storage card that is causing this because if it is deleted the problem is not there. I figured a workaround - use playlists and a shortcut to them and a shortcut to my music folder. I am syncing all my music from my laptop as i write.
