Google Traduction:

Hi, sorry if annoying truth but this seems strange truth to be honest do not know about my s3 mini, I've installed room and that but I noticed that the battery is down something fast depending on what I was doing, right now I have the stock 4.1.2 but when half load or when this something good too full battery I use the example device is typically 50% and normal use I get to see videos and play around it or the normal low battery when I'm using, when this active, but when I turn off the screen on the right button and wait 1 to 2 min, depending on what it is I've done 10% or 13% down, my I find it strange because I find it strange that when you turn off the screen passes that instead of consuming much more when I do an activity and I want to know if you happened to them or if it's normal for this device, here I place a photo seems a kind of stairs:

I've used battery calibration and nothing
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sklarus:
Nothing?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
Probably your network signal. See mine signal it's straight, no gaps like yours. It means your device keep all that time trying to connect, connected, disconected, doing all that over & over so your bat goes up very fast. Try other basebands, search on s3 mini forum, you'll find them:)

Can anyone port Xperia m's Stock musicFX app for cyanogenmod 11 and if their is any can anyone please send me the link
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakot:
Hi,

first, thanks to Maclaw & co for their s3 ports!

I've flashed CM11 on a new phone, and am very happy with it. The only straight up bug I found: reading contacts & SMS from the SIM card was impossible. Reverted to stock backup, pulled them down and backed up, then went back and imported them in CM11.

On battery drain - this is my first smartphone, and I ditched stock immediately. So I am missing some frame of reference here. Also I just got this two days ago, so I will need another week for some real-world statistics. But from what I've seen so far, I kind of doubt it will make it through a single day. Now I don't expect it to hold charge for a week like the old Nokia I am migrating from, but still...

What kind of battery life can I reasonably suspect? I understand "it depends", but let's say location turned off, mobile data only when needed (maybe an hour/day or so), dark themes, dim screen, etc.. Basically I am trying to figure out if this is an issue with the mod/build, or just how things are in android land.

Now I do have some suspicions that cpu load is a bit excessive. During "idle" (no apps running but htop, location&mobile data off, wifi on), both cores are at ~30% consistently. Attached is a screenshot after 1) bootup, 2) turn off screen 3) turn back on after 30min and start htop in terminal. The base system also seems to draw more power than the screen (set near minimum brightness). But again, maybe normal?

I went with CM11 because it looked like it was the most widely used / best supported one, but if it actually has some battery issues I would need to try out some alternatives. Would be happy to help in debugging if there is something I can do as well.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrah:
Have a look at Slimkat. Been using this for quite some time and I have no complaints about battery life. Obviously the battery life will depend on how and what you use your phone for.

Pacperformance is a system app in Slim so you can set your governed, CPU Max/main etc. Use wake lock detector too just so you can see if pacperform is showing your not getting deep sleep.

I have used many, many custom roms and CM11 has never really appealed.

Good luck in your quest!

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakot:
Thanks for the tips, I'll check them out. I was a bit wary with trying out other mods since I'd like to not spend too much time on it and just have it stable, but I think I will just give them a go - easy enough to revert from a backup. Regarding governors, I checked and mine is set to interavtice, there are a bunch of others available though:

$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
abyssplug pegasusq hotplug conservative ondemand userspace powersave interactive performance

Hmm, most of them I've never heard off - any preferences?

BTW, for whatever reason battery drains a lot slower now (maybe it just needed a few cycles to settle in?). I also verified via adb shell that it idles at around zero load when the screen is off.

Hi everyone!!

I'm currently running a custom ROM on my Samsung galaxy S3 '' Carbon ROM'4.4.4'' which I'm really happy with except from the fact that I recently discovered that when I try and record a video with my device, the recorded video always comes out with very low volume, I could hardly hear anything, I never had that issue before installing this ROM.

I'm wondering if anybody did come across a similar issue with a custom ROM, and if there is any solutions to fix this annoying problem because I don't wanna switch to another ROM just for this only problem

Cheers!!

Hi,

Until you reach 10 constructive posts, you would need to ask for help here...

> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305>Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Once you reach 10 posts, you can ask in the rom threads. Do read some of the rom thread first... Starting at the last page and reading back. If it's a current issue, it's usually discussed recently.

Good luck!

So i recently bought myself an htc one mini (m4) and really like it. The only thing that bothers me is the button led's, they are always on in the dark, this in itself isn't a huge problem, but i watch a lot of youtube and twitch while in bed and the lights really annoy me. Does anyone know ho to turn them off? Thanks

whay the v5 version was not uptated te a stable V5 yet? why no one try to update out little s3 to MIUI V6

:'( no one know a good v5 stable or v6 version ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krisshp:
Hello, I have limited Knowledge and am New to ROM/Android.

I have a S3 i9300, and I have Rooted it.

Now I find the phone very laggy and slow ( I had a Moto g and it felt MUCH FASTER) So after some research I think this is because of touchwiz.

So now I am thinking of putting a ROM.

I looked in the ROM Section/Youtube/ and on Here and am LOST :( on what to do next.

I don't understand which ROM would be best for me?

All I want it is a FAST/STABLE and SMOOTH Phone.

Must be Andriod Kitkat - I want to enable ART.

I don't want crazy features like Pie control/ Touch wiz Ports ETC.

So what do you recommend?

I have heard and seen Cyagoemod. It looks like that is what i want but I am unsure? Will there be too many useless feature for me?

Thank You very much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabyif:
CyanogenMod is just cool if you want the stock Android experience like on moto g, it have not that much fancy features, it has some but very useful. The only thing you will probably miss if you install CyanogenMod will be the camera quality from Samsung ROMs, in rest is very stable and fast, know from my experience

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] fachadick:
Hey guys, sorry for the noobness, but for some reason I'm just not finding the answer to this. I want to update the firmware and radio of my Sprint m7 to the most recent version, but I don't have access to a computer. The only version I can find though requires a computer. I could have sworn though that this was also possible without a computer. Am I mistaken? Tia
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StormyNight:
Firmware needs a computer (because you need to rebootRUU), radio doesn't because it can be flashed through recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] fachadick:
Thanks - I guess it was just the radio that I remembered not needing a computer for. I could have sworn it was the whole deal back in the day, but it wasn't flashed in recovery, it was a file that we downloaded that we removed zip from and when we went right to bootloader after booting, it just found that file and asked to flash. I must be thinking of another device or something. Thanks again though.

Hi

My mother has a stock BQ Aquaris 5 HD, probably running on 4.3

Someone spilled a chemical fluid over the phone, and it stoped working. She took it to a local shop where they tried to clean and dry it, but somehow they managed to strip off the touchscreen connector on the mainboard.

The phone actually turns on, but it is impossible to use the touchscreen. No debug was activated. No SD card was installed, so everything was on the main storage. Replacing the mainboard is not an option as the storage will be lost anyways...

I started the phone on recovery mode, allowing me to backup all the data on the SD cart, resulting in a .backup file, which i cannot manage to open in any way. I tried to use Android Backup Extractor (ABE) but it only works with .ab extensions. Changed the extension manually and it did not work either.

I request help, if anybody knows how to recover the pictures and contacts from that file, or if there is some way to enter the main storage unit with a locked screen...

thanks in advance

So Verizon unfortunately gave me a defective phone it has been messed up for many months, it is not rooted but Write Protection is off. Firstly will Verizon consider that to be a reason to void my warranty? and if so is there a way for me to turn write protection back on?

Updating to 4.4.4 will turn write protect back on.

Follow directions, do NOT flash this image. Flashing the image will bootloop you (easily fixed by flashing proper boot.img). You must only BOOT this image. Again DO NOT FLASH IT, I won't help you out of any mess you get yourself into with this.

Unlock your device with Motorola's site

Boot Image

Device will boot up, install su and quickly reboot.

Then install Chainfire's SuperSU from the Play Store

unzip pure2014sb.zip

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot pure2014sb.img

[X 2014 Android Development] bostonirishguy13:
From Droidviews: http://www.droidviews.com/root-motox-2014-pure-edition-with-superboot/

Prerequisites

A Moto X 2014 with unlocked bootloader. You can unlock the bootloader by following the instructions given at Motorola official page.

Set up ADB and Fastboot on your computer or download the minimal ADB and fastboot tool from here (unzip it).

Install Motorola USB Drivers on your computer.

Download the modified boot image by jcase: pure2014sb.zip

Open Settings> Developer options and enable USB Debugging on your device.

Root MotoX 2014 Pure Edition with Superboot

Having taken care of the prerequisites mentioned above, you can now proceed to root your Moto X 2014. Just follow the steps given below.

1. Extract the pure2014sb.zip file and copy the pure2014sb.img file into the platform-tools folder (in case you have Android SDK installed) or copy the files into the mfastboot v2 folder.

2. While the folder with ADB and fastboot files is open, right-click on an empty space and select “Open command window here” option to launch a cmd.

3. Connect your Moto X 2014 to computer using a USB cable.

4. Now type the following command in the cmd window and press the Enter key:

adb reboot bootloader

5. Your phone will reboot into the Fastboot mode.

6. Then issue the following command:

fastboot boot pure2014sb.img

7. When the phone boots up, install su and quickly reboot it.

8. When the device boots up again, go to Google Play store and install the SuperUser app.

Motorola site says my phone is not elgible for unlocked bootloader. Have Tmo pure edition 2014 Moto X. Any ideas?
[X 2014 Android Development] cpolly69:
So for the rest of us that got a carrier phone (not the pure edition) -

I got the ATT one with all the bloat on it. I'd really like to get rid of that crap.

Is there some way I could flash one of the factory gsm images here? via the stock recovery or via adb?

[X 2014 Android Development] bhp090808:
I had the same issue go through the whole code and make sure all spaces are gone including in front of the first character and you should be good
[X 2014 Android Development] EniGmA1987:
As of now, no you cant. ATT may or may not (probably not) get a bootloader unlock. It probably will eventually get root though, and when it does you can use a root app to uninstall those system apps from ATT. No guarantee the phone will work properly after you get rid of them though, it is possible that some OS modifications rely on parts of those apps.
[X 2014 Android Development] cpolly69:
yeah i pretty much can't wait until i get root access -

i'm pretty confident killing the att bloat isn't going to affect the it- i disabled every one of their apps within 10 minutes of having the phone...

i just wish i could load up ti backup and get rid of them...
[X 2014 Android Development] jonata:
what mean's :

7. When the phone boots up, install su and quickly reboot it

install su = superSU apk ?

thanks for help
[X 2014 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
This 7th step is automatic. The phone will boot and install su files and quickly reboot after that.

Once it boots up, go to the store and download SuperSU.
[X 2014 Android Development] jonata:
and where is su files ?

or, where I can Find it ?

need to copy in the memoty of phone ?

thanks for help
[X 2014 Android Development] sailindawg:
I would think the su files are in the img file that was previously flashed in an earlier step. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
[X 2014 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
As I said, this first step is automatic. Just boot the img provided by the op, wait for your phone to boot and then install SuperSU from the Play Store ;)
[X 2014 Android Development] Holyoblation:
I hate that period of time between getting a new device and and regaining access to my root apps.

Should this work on most variants, or is this specific to Pure Editions? XT1093 here

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Additionally, since it won't be flashing the firmware, is there any harm that could be done by trying? Worst comes to worst, hold power and reboot into unmodified stock OS?
[X 2014 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
I used on my XT1097 Brazilian Retail. It will work fine. ;)
[X 2014 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
Pure edition only? please say no. Vzw bloat will kill me
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
I'll confirm this worked on my XT1093 US Cellular device. Many thanks to jcase!

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Not pure edition only, but you must first unlock your bootloader. VZW does not allow bootloader unlock at this time.
[X 2014 Android Development] jackdforme:
How would I then revert to unrooted to catch the pending OTA for bands on the pure or even when L happens?
[X 2014 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
You can still take OTAs with root as long as you don't remove or modify any original system files. If you use Xposed just uninstall the framework before taking the OTA.

[X 2014 Android Development] evilinheaven:
I tried this, but no lucky. Followed all the tree steps, but still no root. The phone do reboot two times (at least it begins the boot animation and them go back to the start a do the boot animation again.) I was not able to see any apps getting installed anyway... The first boot, it didn't seems to fully load the android, is this right?

Thanks!
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
How is it not full root access if you can run root apps?

After booting the superboot image, it will reboot. Then go to Play Store, install SuperSU, and update binaries when the app opens. Now you have root.
[X 2014 Android Development] mefxes:
Not all root apps. The same happened to me with other Android devices. The solution was a fully rooted ROM.
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
This process gives full root. I am fully rooted, and I do not have a Pure Edition device. Have you installed SuperSU from the Play Store and updated the SU binaries?
[X 2014 Android Development] mefxes:
No, you aren't.
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
OK bub. Please explain how I do not have root access after using this method, and how there are different "amounts" of root access you can have. Which root apps don't work? I've got SuperSU, TiBu, Xposed, all kinds of rooty stuff that works flawlessly.

I thought there was "root access" and "not root access". I'd love to know, because my device has root access and I'm confused.
[X 2014 Android Development] durrell12:
Worked great for me.

Also, you're either rooted or you're not. There is no "partial" root based on the ROM you're on.
[X 2014 Android Development] dmbfan13:
I was also wondering about this. Since it's unlocked, I would think TWRP or CWM wouldnt be far off.
[X 2014 Android Development] borxnx:
There is unofficial beta CWM. No backup or restore, but it does flash zips.
[X 2014 Android Development] evilinheaven:
I think mine didn't work because i didn't updated the binaries. But by the time of the reply to my message, already tried the other method that i find here at the forum and worked.

Thanks a lot!
