[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spireite_uk:
I damaged my G3 soon after getting it, and whilst I was waiting for a new one I was sent a LG G Flex as a 'loan' in the mean time.

The Flex had extremely good data strength everywhere I went. Even in my office which is notoriously bad, I was getting a pretty strong connection (about 6mb down, which is good around here).

Now I've just got my G3 back, I'm sat in the office, did a speed test and it's running 0.09mb down apparently. Even browsing the internet is painfulyl slow. Why such a huge discrepancy in the same location between the 2 devices when it's the same SIM and carrier? And is there anything I can do to improve matters?

Please help!!

After two months of great work my TYTN suddenly hangs during boot and does not starts anymore.

It crashed while a GPRS connection was active and tried to reboot by itslef now hangs on the white HTC screen and does not move forward

I tried to remove the battery and boot again, but it does not work. Still hangs on the white HTC screen before the windowsmobile logo.

No particular apps installation in the previous weeks.

The only hints is that the memory was quite low and no microSD card is installed.

Thanks,

Aurelio

this happened to my first 8525/hermes it was some very excessive bad memory blocks on the phone itself, i had to send it under warranty

Hard reset in my view unless someone's got a better suggestion!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
with mine and the bad memory blocks a hard reset would not fix it, i had to use mtty to figure out it had bad memory blocks, and im not referring to the common problem of the 1-3 bad blocks in the 900 section, i had multiple bad address's in the 500-600 range
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Yep, got my fingers crossed it's not as bad as that this time. I got it once and was lucky it did hard reset. Ever since then I back-up regularly.

Hi,

how can I switch off start screen? I worry that user of the phone can so easily go to the recovery. I prefer the waiting for the blue light and clicking volume down. You can see it in the attached file.

I have updated ROM by this threat: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515036

Thx you very much :confused:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] blitzkriegoutlaw:
So I got tired of my weird configuration of running the apps in a mounts2sd with a second ext4 partition on my sdcard and technically nothing should prevent us from running safestrap on the sdcard. So I looked around and it took me a while but I found Hashcode's source code and spent some time studying all the voodoo he does, and most of it is fairly straight forward. Small breakdown:

* Extend TWRP with ifdef statement to add new buttons

* sh scripts get called to perform the functionality for those button

* Swap out some links in /dev/block when you switch between slots and stock

* The entire boot partition including scripts, TWRP, etc are stored in boot image

* The boot image is stored in the stock system under /etc/safestrap

Like I said before, most of the functionality is done in borne shell scripts, but there is some hardcoding in TWRP like creating the .img file to /ss. I really don't want to try to recompile TWRP at this time. As such, I want to limit my changes to the borne shell and configuration INI files only. The simplest answer is to remap /ss from internal storage to the sdcard storage. Another option is to have "system" and "cache" in the internal storage and moving "data" to the sdcard. The difficulty here is since TWRP is hardcoded to create the .img file under /ss, I need to move it during the format stage which happens in the script. The danger with the first option I don't know if the phone will boot if the sdcard is removed. safestrap looks for that directory to figure out the mappings in /dev/block. I think if the directory is missing then it will attempt to create it. After that, things might go bad.

Anyway, what are your thoughts?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucky_515:
i wish and hope your still working on this..my phone is so low in internal storage..i cant even use a rom slot other than stock,,ive been useing stock slot ,flashing custom rom in stock slot....anyways hope you continue to figure this out..i know lots of people would appreciate it..thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blitzkriegoutlaw:
So I've tried multiple ways and have had to step away, think about it some more, and come back to it. Essentially I was not able to get system to boot off of the sdcard. However, the good news is today I was able to have system and cache on internal storage and data on sdcard. So here are the keys to the kingdom that I have found....

The CM11 (and I assume other) ROMs there is a /system/etc/kexec/ramdisk.img file. This file is extracted (gunzip < ramdisk.img | cpio -iu) into the root directory "/" (rootfs). There is a shell script "/sbin/fixboot.sh" that gets executed by /init at the start of the android (on fs). That script essentially mounts /ss to /emstorage and does all the loop storage links to the system.img, cache.img, and data.img files. I was able to mount another /ss2 to my sdcard and point the userdata to /ss2/safestrap/rom-slot?/userdata.img. The limitation is that vfat limits all files to 4 GB max, so the userdata.img cannot be more than 4 GB of storage.

So an option is I can create an updated ramdisk.img file. You would just drop this into your /system/etc/kexec directory on the slot-rom you want to use it. The only file changed in ramdisk.img is /sbin/fixboot.sh. ramdisk.img is part of the CM11 distribution so you would need to replace it each time you perform an update on that rom slot. Other than that, safestrap would by default create userdata.img to be in internal storage.

The next part I'm going to look at is to create a f2fs partition on my sdcard and have my userdata use that f2fs partition. I figure I should good considerable more I/O as f2fs is suppose to be a good amount faster than ext3/4 and we wouldn't be going through a loop device from ext3 to vfat for all I/O. In addition, my data partition would no longer be limited to 4GB due to the file limitation size of vfat.

Thoughts...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blitzkriegoutlaw:
So Spyder doesn't have f2fs on it so I've been running ext4. The kernel would need to be setup to be compiled with it. I have a second 6Gb partition formatted with ext 4 with writeback journaling but per my timing tests I don't think it has made a difference. Now I have more than enough space left in both the data and internal partitions. I don't know if it is just a placebo effect but my apps do seem to start slightly faster.

There doesn't seem much interest in this but it was a fun exercise for me. This will be good enough for me as I'll probably upgrade my phone sometime in the future.

Hello guys awesome forum BTW,

I have different android phones mostly Samsung xcovers and samung aces. They have software installed on them by a company. I want transfer the software on to another android device. I would ask the company but they want to charge me an arm and a leg per device and I have many devices. I've opened up both thinking they've inserted their own USB port to stop the phone connecting to a PC thus stopping any one going in to the device but this doesn't look like its been done. The other thing I think may have happened is the program has been flashed on! I can't access the phone apart from this app/software which pre-loads. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch

[General Topics] thehobit:
For data transfer purposes, I suggest Total commander + ADB plugin. You can access any file on both phone and transfer data conveniently.

I pretty sure its not the cable; I use standard USB cables unless I need specific specialist data cables, I'm pretty sure this isn't the problem.

The problem is the phones will not connect or be recognised by any PC! Other phones that don't have this pre-loaded software on connect with no problem.

I've searched far and wide and tried and tried but cannot get the s-off on my new -to-me HTC one m7 for at&t. I have tried firewater which has given me various results from the "whoops" to opening bottles and whatnot then saying it failed. I have also tried rumrunner. I am currently running insert coin 4.4 with sense 6 and sunshine says I am not compatable. is there any way to maybe downgrade my hboot to 1.55 or something as that seems to be the problem to me. or is there a ROM that runs a Google style android and will work with a rooted s-on device? Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Downgrading hboot require s-off so no you can not downgrade hboot to achieve s-off. If you have tried all the suggested rom/kernel combinations known to work and sunshine is also not working, you might want to try a java card s-off service like proposed at http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/, not sure if it still working on 1.57 hboot, better to ask them before.

Get the super amoled contrast on your g3 display

[G2 Themes and Apps] FatherD:
Nope, care to explain?
[G2 Themes and Apps] 60nine:
change your color settings

then open any picture on your phone or go and browse some web pages - see the difference...

this setting we're talking about is mostly to help color blind people...

it will not improove your screen colors (ips screens, such as on lg g2, already has better and more realistic color reproduction than any amoled screen)

only advantage of amoled screen is the brighter color/contrast in daylight - but i'd always buy a device or computer monitor with ips screen panel...
[G2 Themes and Apps] FatherD:
Understood that already, but moving the pointer vertically without any bias left or right will only adjust contrast and saturation.
[G2 Themes and Apps] 60nine:
changing contrast and saturation changes the colors too...

i.e.

i have blue background wallpaper with a red middle element

when i change contrast and saturation - blue becomes black, and red gets so warm that it hurts the eyes...
[G2 Themes and Apps] FatherD:
Well, for me setting the circle at the point I mentioned has no such effect.
[G2 Themes and Apps] 60nine:
making the settings like you described (circle over camera icon) doesn't change much overall... just messes up colors and contrast a bit...

not feeling realistic anymore.. but if that's what you like - go for it :)

btw you also have a neat color calibration tool by [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] called Screen Calibrator, if you want to further tweak your display RGB values...

Hey ,I've just got a i9100 from my father , it has stock rom 4.0.3 ,unrooted of course ,but it has so many apps installed on it ,So I wanna format it and then Factory reset it.

The thing is after doing some research I read that doing Factory reset kills the internal memory ,and leads to soft ,or hard brick.

Does this only happen when I reset from recovery ? or even when resetting from the settings menu?

And If it's so ,How can I reset it without changing the rom ,or rooting? cuz I don't intend to root it for a while.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Hmm hard to say, can't find any advice about that on google. For me it looks like full wipe shouldn't be done.

You can download emmc brick bug check from play store first and test if you have this bug. If no I guess you can flash.

If yes I'd suggest you to flash another kernel anyway, for safety reasons, later you can deactivate super user rights

Rooting can possibly easy be done with framaroot here on xda.

[Android General] maslascher:
Once upon time there was an Android, small OS for small devices. But then stupid ages come and android got extra weight and is now more bloated.

Okay, okay, Now for serious, no more fairy tales. We all know that Android is now larger OS. That is a one problem (i will tell why soon) another is java, which is not some low level and fast software(but it is not thread for this discussion).

Last (really) popular is Android 2.3 which weights in CM form around 80MB but this weight can be cut by approximately 30MB and system will be running normally, of course there will be still some basic apps(like web browser, market etc.) and now we have KitKat which is around 4 times larger in CM form and doesn't have anything special to offer.

I know there will be some voices for no. People will be saying that Android is working, it is popular, beauty, future-full and customizable OS. However, light code is easier to maintain, develop, it is faster(project butter will be not needed, which is not even an optimization but more like preload) and more stable. Yeah, you can say that people should buy new Nexus 5 and not some cheapphone5 but not everyone have money for that things. I am hoping that Android thanks to Google will hit some major code cleanup,

Sorry for bad English, that is not my native Language. You are free to discuss about it, but this is not place for talking about "brand" Android, this is talk about "pure" Android.
