I went from 50 to 1 one night. This was on KK. I upgraded to 5.0.1 (BOF) three days ago and the battery life seems more stable and longer lasting. Try letting it drain until it powers itself off (at night) and charge it off until it is full. I have had to do this on other Android phones (an S3...

Did they remove a bunch of Samsung bloatware or was there less carrier crap installed? At least the Samsung bloat was for added functionality of the device. Verizon et al use it to push extra subscriptions and/or more data heavy apps to make customers want to upgrade their data plans and/or pay...

I haven't heard that app/service mentioned before. Thanks, I will check it out. The bootloader will forever be locked by Verizon. This doesn't alter anything on the phone and it would brick it if they tried to as Verizon wouldn't hand over the the keys to AT&T to encrypt their bootloader with...

I finally paid off the phone from the EDGE program and gave the finger to Verizon. Having dealt with taking phones from one provider to another, I was amazed at how easy the process went. With the AT&T SIM in place the voice network worked as it should (no surprise there). The data/MMS just...

The OP has a good point in that it would be nice not having to contact Chinese servers and waste data each time you had to re-root.

It really depends on the area you are in and the server you are using for the test. Here's my test in ND.

As long as drivers are installed then just ignore the setup from the virtual CD drive that shows up when the phone is connected. I don't think you can disable it without breaking all connectivity — at least on the phone side. In the device manager (Windows key+Pause - Device Manager) there are...

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but I'll share it anyway. The bootloader/kernel seem to initiate checks on everything in /system/app, /system/bin and more I'm sure. Apks added to /system/app get removed upon reboot. It looks like /system/kern_sec_info is more than likely the...

Sorry wrong thread. :X

Open the .bat with an editor and add a new line: PAUSE

I tried it but it really screwed up my VM and it ended up rejecting all VMs from missed calls. I tried at least 3 times to set it up and no dice. I just hope when I switch I have no problem.

Thanks for the info on this. I am going to buy out the rest of my contract with VZW as soon as I can and save over half on my monthly bill while getting 1 more gig of data. No ringbacks or VVM but it's a good tradeoff.

Each entry will show "true" behind it if it is successful.

If there was a list of what packages have dependencies needed for others (even downloaded apps) then i could whip up a program/script to make it easier for non-knowledgable users.

Don't block com.sec.android.app.myfiles unless you are rooted! It is the only file manager that can delete/modify files on the microSD. Also you shouldn't block com.google.android.play.games if they play online games via Google Games (should be a no-brainer). These are two entries on the...

They are actually stored in PNG format but adding .jpg will launch your photo viewer which is smart enough to know how to load it. It is hard to tell by that image if the files truly have no extension because you don't have extensions turned on in Windows. Does My Files show them without extensions?

hemanolio Did you try debloating at all? I am leery of doing so because I tried doing that on an ST LG Optimus Showtime and it bricked because the bootloader/bootchain checked the system apps and found out they were some missing. Because of the strange way that LG recoveries work I was never...

It has to be included in the app unless you install modified apks for the apps (not many of them exist).

I feel your pain. I'm missing root bad — even just for freezing apps. You can do some minimal tweaking though. You can turn off some of the bloatware that came pre-installed.

That is essentially the ROM he made but it is only for the dev model right now. The difference being that DE units can have a custom recovery installed (TWRP in this case) which is essential to installing a custom ROM.

I have my S3 flashed with an LG220 ESN to use on prepaid but I upgraded to a Note 4 and want to flash it back for a backup phone. The problem is that my S3's USB port only charges (have troubleshot it to death) so I am unable to use to flash it back. Is there a way to bind a Wifi or BT...

As far as I've seen from searching for an answer, the S3 seems to be the only device with such a widespread problem with OTG nuking them. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

If your S3 is under manufacturer's warranty then you can exchange it at VZW for nothing. Just don't mention the otg because it may make them say it was outside of acceptable usage and deny it. If that warranty has expired and you have an extended warranty then you will have to pay around 100USD...

I would say stay away from anything that requires external power or has that as an option. Flash drives and microSD readers should all be fine. Keyboards and mice w/o special lighting (blinged out with leds) should be fine. I have tested a few w/o any problems. Beyond these devices it is...

What are the specs of the DAC? It would be helpful to have some sort of general info to go off of to see what types of devices may brick the susceptible S3s. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Unless the wiring isn't 1:1 (pass-thru) no cable should be to blame. All OTG cables are cheaply made because there is no big brand name that sells them. The circuitry in the S3 should be stopping too much current from flowing through (or back in). There appears to be small batches of S3s that...

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. Has anyone working on this tried going with a different approach and tried tricking the phone into thinking it was in a different country to unlock all the bands for 3G use?

There is no doubt that the problem is Samsung's whether or not the cables can only be bought aftermarket. The S3 USB circuit doesn't properly do its job. From documentation of the USB standard it appears that a device must request more power. This means it is accepting the request erroneously...

I ported my phone to Page Plus and I have been trying to provision/configure it for over a day now. I verified the MIN and SID with Page Plus and have tried so many things for so many different guides that I'm almost on the verge of insanity. It shows that I have a good reception and isn't...

It is an either/or hub and media reader but it wasn't plugged in. There must have been a surge from the caps in the hub sent back to the phone due to a combination of poor designs/components. The hub works fine on my pc still. I bought it from Big Lots so it is probably cheap Chinese ware. I...

This same thing happened to me when I plugged the same type of cheap right elbow OTG cable from ebay into my brand new S3 (2 days old with about one hour of usage). The cable worked fine with USB drives, a mouse, or a keyboard used alone on the S3. The cable was plugged into a USB 4 port hub...

Use the stickied debloat script and you can also use Anttek App Manager to freeze other apps that aren't included in it but are safe. Be careful though because some VZW and blur apps can mess up your D3 if frozen (like blur_yahoo.app causing contacts to fc). Sent from my DROID3 using xda...

Try wiping the data for the app. I would also wipe the data of camcorder as well. Sent from my DROID3 using xda app-developers app
