[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagaur:
Dear All

Do you have some suggestions on increasing battery backup on my Samsung Galaxy SIII - GT19300 model. It has become a battery guzzler, and does not last more than 5 - 6 hours after full recharge.

I have done factory reset once, after that it was better for about a week, and then again it is back to the same situation.

Help please. . . Thank you all for your help.

Kind regards,

Naren

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagaur:
Hi Jassi,

How to greenify the apps ? I have no idea, could you help me with this ?

How do you freeze apps which are not in use ?

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Naren
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagaur:
Thank you Foxy,

the phone itself is less than 6 months old, so i do not suspect any issue with battery. Most likely the apps are eating too much of power, I think if i can remove some of the bloated applications from Samsung, that would do the trick. But i am yet to come across the method of removing the Samsung applications.

I would want to try removing all un-necessary applications and see the results.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Naren

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crispy3000:
Hi all,

I've been waiting for a 10inch OLED device for a long long time now so very happy when T800 came out.

I live in UK however and they only offer 16GB internal storage. I've been patient waiting for 32GB version but that's wearing thin now.

Some reviews state you can use external microsd card for apps I thought I ask those that have already bought one.

I don't plan on initially rooting it until I've broken it in for few months.

So my question does this tablet allow you to use external sd for apps and apps data without hassle? I've not really used kitkat but Jelly bean made sdcard use such a pain. I know I can use link2SD etc if I root (do they still work on this tab without issue?)

If I install galaxy on fire and a bards tale my internal storage is already full so this issue is really important.

Thanks

Chris

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boeser:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Nope, you will need root.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crispy3000:
Thanks. I will try to be patient I think and hold out for the 32GB ver sounds like a lot less hassle.

Is there any model number difference between 16GB/32GB models? So many webshops are not even listing what the internal storage is on a model they are selling.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flhthemi:
Ok, went to Samsung's site and looked up the 16GB Titanium "S". They list the model as "SM-T800NTSAXAR". I Have The 32gb Titanium. The model number on the box is "SM-T800NTSEXAR". So SEX is good. :) E may be what designates 32GB in the model number. But, as I understand things, Best Buy has an exclusive deal right now as being the only place that sells the 32GB version???
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
Chris, the Samsung included My Folders app can read/write to a micro SD card without rooting. There is also a built in function that allows you to move apps to external storage (micro SD card). Plus when you take pictures and you have micro SD card inserted the Tab S will automatically save the pictures to the external storage except for rapid picture mode which needs the fastest storage possible. I've not tried moving an app to external storage but have seen the picture saving work. The only "stock" limitation with external storage is that read/write privileges are restricted to the My Folders app. Alternate file managers (e.g ES File Manager) can read/copy but not write.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crispy3000:
Other than media Its mostly for large game data files. I would not have more than 1 or 2 of these at same time but the available 10GB of internal would not cut it.

Samsung own webshop is awful http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/SM-T805NZWABTU

I almost bought one straight away but notice no where on the spec does it mention the size of the internal memory. Almost criminal.

Thanks for the model number just wish the stores listed half of them samsung themselves certainly don't

[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Those are the sources for the L90, D415 variants. They must be built first then possibly flashed via recovery. If you don't have access to your recovery or fastboot then KDZ flash or warranty claim are your only choices.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] HamShaw:
Hey everyone!...

So I recently upgraded my 4x HD to Jelly Bean and now I realized that I made a mistake, my phone has been wrecked, performs like crap. I formatted the phone before upgrading to JB but that didn't do any good. At first I encountered ram issue, for no reason without having installed any apps, I was having about 200 mb of free ram compared to average of 270 mb's in ICS, however after going thru topics here at XDA forums, I was able to fix the ram issue and now I have 250 mbs+ normally free but it's still doing me no good. Those games that used to run butter smooth on ICS now lags on JB, especially after few minutes of play, phone gets hot and games start lagging and I have no idea why, I haven't installed any battery saving apps.

Here's some tests/info

Can't post external links :*(

[MENTION=5037576]admins[/MENTION]

Sorry to do that, I am not spamming so I hope this isn't a violation of rules, please excuse me.

Given how awfully my phone performs compared to ICS, I am genuinely surprised by the benchmark results, it's about 1.5k higher than it was in ICS.

Short of all that, I see no other solution than installing a custom rom, I need to know what's the best custom rom available and where do I begin. I have never done this before. Links to tutorial and rom would be highly appreciated, thanks :fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
You may noticed that nobody answered your thread yet and there's a reason for it. If you read the rules of xda (I assume you did) there are a few problems here: First and most important, "Search before posting". The ram management and its problems on JB compared to ICS have been discussed many times and as you're a clever person you will find those related threads easily by a brief search. Second rule you didn't follow is, that "Best ROM/Kernel etc threads" aren't allowed on XDA at all, so nobody will answer that. If you ask why you didn't read the rules at all and that's you fault.

For your main question: Installing/Flashing a custom ROM isn't that hard if you (and that part is important) follow the easy accessible tutorials in the general section. If you have a specific problem in the whole unlocking, rooting and/or flashing process we are very likely able to help you but no one will provide a full tutorial in a Q&A thread just because you don't even try to follow said tutorials.

This is not meant as an insult or anything, just a hint for you to get the needed knowledge: Read, everything you don't know, google it or search on XDA as there's a good chance you'll be able to get an answer yourself.

So please follow the rules and/or read them (again) carefully before posting next time.

I wish you a successful future with the android custom ROM scene in this forum.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] b886b:
If you are more satisfied with the performance on ics, I believed that you can always downgrade using the links in this great forum. As for flashing custom rom, there are plenty of them on xda and you can browse through them and choose the one that suits you best, just remember to root and unlock before performing the flashing of custom roms.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] HamShaw:
I totally get it, it's my bad but the thing is that I did search thoroughly before posting here and there were dozens of custom roms there and I couldn't decide which one to get. Firstly I thought I'd go with Cybermodgen but then I read somewhere that it isn't the best option available so that kind of made me indecisive.

I see that you've been using Optimus 4x HD as well, could you answer a few things, it'll help me decide what to do next.

Which rom are you using?

How do you rate its performance compared to JB?

Should I go back to ICS or move on to a custom ROM?

I'd highly appreciate your help!.

Thanks :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
I'm using the LiquidSmooth v3.2 by Mourta

with his awesome kernel based on iodaks great work.

The performance I got with this one is the best I ever had (on custom roms)

but you'll have to set up a few things but they are all stated in the dedicated thread over here:

http://www.modaco.com/forum/594-lg-optimus-4x-hd-4xhdmodacocom/

The first three threads are the interesting ones.

I would definitely move on to a custom rom instead of going back to ics

which is in my opinion way below regarding it's performance and/or the amount of it's features.

Had a Goldeneye ROM installed, wanted to try something different. I'm on MLD baseband. Managed to load a Nexus ROM, but couldn't get wifi to work. Tried Goldfinger ROM, same result. Somewhere along the way, I lost the ability to get into TWRP recovery. I can get to the fallen android recovery menu, but whenever I try to reboot it goes to directly to the ROM (prior to this, if I tried to reboot to TWRP, it would first go to the fallen android, but then selecting reboot got me to TWRP). I have a nandroid backup, but don't know how to try it out without first going to recovery? Alternatively, I could try this method, but don't have a windows box and can't figure out which files I need to flash using heimdall. Thanks for the help...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Do not flash the link on your device. You can get the stock mdl firmware at sammobile.com. Flashing what you linked to will put the mk2 firmware on your device and you'll no longer be able to use twrp. Sorry I can't help you on heimdall though, I've never used it.

Sigh. I just need to quit while I'm ahead. After messing with some xposed modules, I eventually became unable to boot into recovery again, and am stuck at the bootloader screen. I think I need to reinstall firmware via odin (but I have no windows PC, so I'm going to try heimdall).

Is this method the correct one?

I have this file as my firmware: I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nola mike:
...And, we're back in business! Multiple problems, one of which was the wrong firmware version--the above is MDL, not MLD :rolleyes:

I flashed back to stock MK2 firmware, then upgraded using towelroot and safestrap.

Had a bunch of problems trying to figure out Heimdall, and couldn't figure out what was going wrong (turned out to be the USB cable--I saw posts about this, and went through FIVE cables before I could find one that worked. It was a kindle cable, FWIW).

Tried ODIN in the meantime using my wife's old XP box. What a PITA. Had all kinds of issues trying to get kies to install. Anyway, I'll write up exactly what worked for me. A lot of the info I used was fragmented, old, and contradictory.

EDIT: Re-borked, and tried upgrading again, and ended up with the same errors using the new cable. Then used a different computer, and didn't have any trouble with multiple flashes. I think my USB controller is touchy on the original computer...

Hi, this is my first time on XDA developers starting a thread.

I have NO knowledge over programming, i just came here to share my idea.

So recently I found out about Google Cardboard and I see loads of potential.

Then the idea struct me, and maybe loads of others too.

How about we merge the camera and widgets together which would look like this:

If we can control the phone with our fingers in front of the camera,

(sorry cant post a link now)

Then we could wear this all around with a heads up display of our app's widgets.

Swipe your finger from right to left to open the mini widgets drawer:

Use your fingers to instantly take a photo:

Hope someone out there would find this a good idea and work towards this direction, I would try to make this come true too.

Please give me some suggestions by commenting, thank you.

missing a feature wifi hotspot for allowed device only

wifi for allowed device is a feature in which i can add some device to allowed list and configure wifi hotspot for allowed device only so that only allowed device in list can connect to wifi hotspot.

how it helps me!!

simple i don't have to type security key on other device.

e.g.

step1. start wifi hotspot in open mode and let other device scan and connect to it.

step2. add device to allowed list and change hotspot setting to allowed device (still it is open hotspot but other device will not be able to connect to it)
