S/W Upgrade!

Well maybe it is here?!!!
Woke up this am and my phone battery was dead. Connected it to the charger last night but didn't realize the charger was unplugged. So I connected it to my laptop via USB and went about the morning activities.
I just looked over and on the screen it says
S/W Upgrade
Please wait
While upgrading...
Been that way for 10 minutes. I'll keep you posted.

Seriously? WTF. Hmm, I wonder if it could look like anything in this guys post:

Notice he changed it to false alarm and request that it be deleted. OTA updates don't automagically start, you get informed and a choice how to download them.

yeah you may wanna take this down asap

Yeah, unless you get prompted to update while your phone is on, I doubt its legit.

That was the only thing curious to me was that I hit the power button to make sure it was charging and it was. I never turned it on though. Looked over again when I heard the USB connect sound from my laptop and saw the message. Still on the screen at this point.
Not sure.....

Such thread should be locked down ASAP because it's just another "cry wolf"!

Pull your battery or it will stay on this screen. You fat fingered some buttons is all that happened.

No offense OP, but we have been down this road many times already.

I called T-Mobile. No such Upgrade / Update at this time for LG G2x.
Pull battery, reset phone, wait for the real update to arrive.

Again. Can't belive it!!!

I'm a fan of calling the of T-Mobile since obviously people are wrong when they tell you there is no update. As if one of these threads doesn't actually pop up once a week...

Happened to me once to. I turned on the phone and got the software upgrade screen. Left in on all night, finally reset (it still had the screen), low and behold, no update.
Not sure why the screen came up.

so when you went to start this thread and typed s/w upgrade into the thread title box and you got the little search window that opens up and warns you not to post a new thread without checking those out first you did what exactly?

Mr clown murder this thread.!!!

My Galaxy goes into factory mode while charging

Has anyone experienced this, while i have my gs2 skyrocket off and plug it in To charge it it goes into factory mode. Is this normal?

You mean the recovery mode? Like Clockwork mod right? Are you rooted and using a custom ROM?

Ur charger just works as usb jig and it will come handy when you have soft bricks. Do not worry there is nothing wrong with ur phone.

This is not even remotely normal. It's likely that either your phone or your usb cable is defective or damaged.
I'd get a warranty replacement...

This is what happens. If my sg2 skyrocket is off and i plug it in to charge this screen comezs up at the very top it says Factory mode in red
Custom binarydownload: no
Current binary: samsung offical
Then it has the android guy
Then it says Downloading
Dont turn off target.
No my phone isnt rooted i just got it a couple of days ago. I just was wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks for any help you can give me

It's used to flash custom operating systems (roms), kernels, etc. You should take it back to store if you just got it a couple days ago and get a replacement.
Bring your cable with you so they can test at the store if it's the cable causing it to go into download mode or if the phone itself is the problem. At any rate, you paid too much money to have a buggy phone and if this is happening there are likely other problems with your device. Replace it.

Thanks everyone for the input. it wound up being a detective cable causing the issue i was having.

I know this is old, buy WHAT! Defective cable. Damn there are some people who would have bought that lol
What I mean is that cord.....defective or not for charging...it is pretty much a jig. It is what people use to recover their phones when they have bricked them (funnily enough "bricked" is no longer bricked anymore....hmm I wonder how many people threw out phones thinking they could never work again?)

I'm thinking it was a cable for factory use in development at Samsung and got packaged up by mistake.
EDIT: Also wanted to add, "bricked" is still "bricked". It's just that people "soft-brick" and think it's a brick, when usually it's just a boot loop. Hard bricks do happen, unfortunately...

Verizon SIII 32GB Blue Brief Review Video

Guys earlier I posted an unboxing video in another thread. That video is right here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BryoOlaWQaU&feature=plcp
Then I spent the next 4 or 5 hours trying to get the freaking thing activated. That finally happened, but I haven't had much time with the phone. Anyways, here's a quick video showing the boot up, and some speed tests on 4G LTE. This phone is beast! (it may be sideways for a bit but I've rotated it to the right in Youtube, sometimes it just takes a while)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wovT50uGfLw&feature=plcp
Feel free to ask questions, I can try to post more videos over the next couple days but my schedule is literally booked for the next 2 days so I'll do what I can.

Good job

It's looking like the Verizon version is going to have sweet sweet battery life!
The phone starts at about 50% and I still have stellar life out of that! I had rebooted it and connected it via usb to try and get adb shell. Otherwise it would show nearly 20hrs of battery at this point!

Have they fixed that 34ma battery drain issue yet? Officially? I'm a nexus dude but seriously considering returning it and getting in on one of these s3's. Just switched to Verizon and I love, love, love the network. Haven't been with vzw since '07.
I'd also like to know if there is still the bleeding/weeping/leakage of the back lights on the white version? Like there was on the white galaxy s 2.
Thanks.

I'm not aware of this battery drain issue you speak of. If it exists on my phone, I can obviously obviously with it. The cell standby numbers are way too high, especially considering I was on full LTE coverage all night. My epic4g had a similar issue and it was fixed via software fairly quickly.
Mine is blue so I can't comment on your other question. Yes, the Verizon network is AWESOME!

"The cell standby" that is the Battery drain issue he is referencing, it is not really a "real" drain issue, more a reporting issue.

Even with the drain issue that battery life is awesome. Thank you for posting your initial thoughts and battery stats.

After I get fully charged up again today I will leave it off any charge and post the full drain stats.

[Q] Random shutdowns / battery drops on AOKP Jelly Bean

I have been experiencing irregular shutdowns and battery drops with the recent AOKP Jelly Bean ROMS. The phone will suddenly shutdown. It won't start up without connecting it to the charger again, although the battery can be fully charged before the sudden shutdown. After connecting it to the charger I am able to start the phone up again.
Sometimes the battery shows up as somewhere between 20-70% charged, sometimes it shows 0%. Usually if I reboot the phone one more time, it shows the original charging level again. I have seen people posting about similar issues, but never found a solution.
I am attaching a logcat, dmesg and kmsg file from right after a second reboot after a sudden shutdown (sudden shutdown while 100% full battery; attaching to charger; starting phone up again; battery shows 0% charged; restart phone again while attached to charger; battery shows almost 100% charged). Also attached a screenshot of the battery usage screen and all relevant version numbers from "About Phone".
Anyone any ideas? (Can't post to development forums yet, so posting it here )

Have you tried a full wipe and install, it might help. Sometimes it does or maybe the battery is going bad? Have you tried a different battery?
Check to see if battery wiggles in housing if so you can stabilize it with a wedge of paper. This might stop the reboots.

i found out that this is the best way to stop randoom reboots

I had not tried the paper wedge. I tried that this morning and experienced another random reboot rather quickly.
I also have tried numerous full wipes and reinstalls, but every time the random reboots or shutdowns come back.
I have not yet tried a new battery though.

Are you under clocked at all? Sometimes this causes reboots. If yes adjust the cpu back to normal. This might help if your under clocking.

Good point. I haven't seriously looked at underclocking, but I think the ROM comes like that by default. What's the stock freq. foe the Sensation again... I'll look that up.
Edit: ok, just set the min and max frequency to 1242MHz under ROM Control / Performance. Left the governor set to badass. We'll see how that's going to work out.

Battery sucks.
I had same issue with desire, after 1 year battery caused random shutdowns and reboots (more than a lot of hw problems, fixed after 3 times by HTC support... but this is another story..)
Now, with Sensation is the same (in less than 1 year!).

Batteries go bad. Same with my old HTC Hero. New battery solved that. But this started after I started using CM10 and continued with the AOKP ROM.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

That was quick. Setting min and max frequency to 1242 resulted in another quick random reboot. Shucks...
Edit: Bit the bullet and ordered an extra battery. I hope that in the mean time we get this solved and I can use the battery just as an extra battery

In the meantime I have also been in contact with HTC about this issue. I reverted all the way back to stock, which wasn;t such a hassle as I thought it would be.
HTC support gave me a whole bunch of stuff to try, all of which I had already tried of course Last resort was to factory reset the phone without the SIM and SD card in it (through the recovery menu). After that I started the phone without SIM and SD cards in it. During step two of the setup wizard the phone died. As this has (so far) never happened while having the phone connecte dto the charger, HTC support now suggests that it IS the battery. We'll see after I receive the extra battery I guess.
Actually, I thought the aforementioned test was a good one to share, as that way one can be absolutely sure it is the battery/phone. Still very interesting that the first occurrence of the issue coincides with starting using the Jelly Bean ROMs.

Well folks, seems that a new battery solved all my problems. Finally Iam able to use my phone again....

[Q]Battery drains very fast

Hello developers
I fully charged my battery last night before I go to sleep, but when I got up this morning, I found that my battery just got 25% remained.
Last this situation happened was about two month ago.
My battery is the original one with my phone.
Oh, I change a battery from HTC because the first one is dead in somehow I don't know.
So, is there anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Text is in something I can't read (probably Taiwanese ? ) but from what I can tell, the CPU of the phone stays at 100% all the time.
There's just no way the screen could use that much power when it's turned OFF the whole night, unless you have a defective board, which would need to be replaced.
If you didn't install any apps that could cause this (meaning this happened as soon as you bought the phone) it appears to be a problem with the firmware's power management, meaning it has none
Flash another stock or custom firmware and that should fix it, just make sure its any other firmware than the one you currently have.
That's my opinion, based on what I can see and on my experience (I'm not a developer).

I'm glad you managed to get it to work. But if rebooting it fixes the problem, then it might be because of a bad ROM. Try a re-flash or take it back to HTC and explain it to them.
Over-charging the phone will kill the battery and it might even cause it to inflate or blow-up. That's how accidents happen

ASK
hey, is battery saver app in PS works perfectly?? or just make android laggy.

Dude , rebooting is not a perfect solution . Just changes the battery with an other one . Some times your changed battery will makes this all mistakes .
Did you oveclocked your htc?? Ovrer overclocking may cause this problem . Well Check and install a new kernal .

Seems like a problem that the rom causes. You can try powering off the phone, removing the battery for at least 10-15 seconds and then put it back in and see the results (that's similar to the wipe battery stats option in recoveries). If that doesn't work, the only sonution is to flash another rom, whether it's a stock or a custom one.
