[Q] JF6 vs JH2/JH3

I'm fairly new to all this droid stuff and been learning all kinds of stuff from this forum. I have one big question and that is what is the difference between JF6 compared to JH2/JH3? My captivate has JF6 and I've seen the firmware updates for the others. Is there any major improvements or am I better off sticking with what I have?

I think JH3 is quicker and seems a bit more stable, its also newer.
One thing to watch out for is the logging that comes with JH2/3. There are some easy remedies to fix it though.
Im currently using JH3 matched with unhelpful's 1.2 Kernel v1.1 and SRE1.0 My phone is performing the best it ever has.

how is your battery performance now with jh3.
the gps on jf6 for me is amazing i've only used it twice but both times it was all good, very accurate on maps, so i hope its the same or better if it can get better.

Battery performace seems normal, maybe draws a bit quicker with the overclock.
GPS locks in 4 to 5 seconds. Then again i have some tweaks built in with SRE.

Now for the second lesson. Put this in the Q/A subforum, not Dev.

And if I was able to move my own thread I would've fixed it as soon as I posted it but I can't. Also I know the difference between droid and android. Guess I won't try and shorten words anymore. Btw thanks to the ones that actually answered me.

Limited service

So since I've flashed my phone from firefly 2.4 I've been getting limited service at times with my phone. I've also tried a couple different modems as well and I am still getting the same thing.
I always do a flash to stock with a master clear before doing anything. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's rather annoying. Also if I go into airplane mode and come out of it, it tells me there is no sim card and to install and reboot. I'm currently running firefly 2.6 with suckerpunch voodoo. Any thoughts and/or help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd try some more modems. I've tried several, and some I get really good service, and some crap. Just have to try them.
Here's a development thread that has a list (and links) of a LOT of different modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391

I factory reset today, and im having this problem like ago, came from MIUI yesterday and those problems came back to CM7.
EDIT: I see in OS monitor that the process of settings Storage is alive using more that 2% but less than 15%, is that normal?

Are you running the latest cm7? (as in its 2.3.5?) Pretty sure that bug was fixed past 2.3.3 (I could be wrong)
Edit: After reading a little on their wiki (its been a while since Ive used Cyanogenmod) I found out that If you are running a "stable" version you are on 2.3.3 and that's a bug on android's side.

im running the latest nightly, with stock kernel, but my phone was working good, since the update to 2.3.5, i think the problem is an app, but i dont know if its really an app, because is something in the OS, so i dont know if it is an app of the system, i dont really know, but i want to fix this problem.

Wipe and reflash and do not install any apps. Verify if the problem is a app or not. Also do not run widgets or anything else, basically run it as close to stock as you can.

hey boricua! i did it when i wiped and i think is an app because of this, while i had no apps, i disconected the phone and my stats where "normal", android OS taking less than 10%, i then started to TiBu restore my apps, and i came back to the same problem i had in MIUI last week and in CM7 two weeks ago

I would unless you actually use it. Takes up space needs data, and drains battery lol. But I rarely use GPS (older 1008 build so bad gps)

ok i will uninstall it, but if my problem persists?

To be honest i wouldn't know. I don't like AOSP roms on the Galaxy S phones. To be honest haven't been on CM7 since nightly was 2.3.3 (been a while). But from my experience Native roms work better for longer periods of times. But I9000 ports work well enough. I also like Audience chip support.

ok changing a bit the topic, do you know if the GB bootloaders are running good with aosp roms? because i would like to try Stock GB on my cappy, but i dont like the idea of flashing the bootloader because i dont want to lose the ability to change between roms.

I believe it is, but your kernel might have to change. I do know both CM7 and MIUI have a few kernels to chose from, some might be limited to a specific bootloader. Again I could be wrong.

Battery problem

Hi Folks, I hve had my note for 1 year now and haven't had any battery problems until 2 days ago when I flashed a jb rom. All was fine for about 10 hours when I started to recharge the battery again that went fine, charged to 100% and unplugged, the phone said it was at 100%. After another few hours the phone cut out, no warning just cut out. I could get the phone back on but only when plugged into the charger. So, heres my problem, phone says battery is fully charged but when I unplug the charger it cuts out now. if I boot in to recovery with out the charger it stays on for hours. if I try to start the phone up normally with out charger it doesn't work. I have tried another battery again it started fine for almost a day then the same problems again. I have tried several kernels and roms in case it was one of those that was causing the problem but its the same every time. Im not a newb when it comes to flashing roms some im 100% sure its all ok in that department. any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Graham

What really matters here is your screen on time (I can get around 4h30 with heavy use). I also see you have a few notifications so there might be some draining apps running in the background (like that *** Facebook app which is constantly running in the background even with notifications off). In any case BBS should help you identify the "rogue" app (if any). Also I don't use Google Now as it's kind of a battery killer.

this problem is same with me...after 1 year use gnote
and this is battery problem..i dont know whats is causing it...
i try to enter recovery mode and ..battery is good..almost 4 hours screen on recovery mode
but if I try to start the phone up normally phone is reboot after 1minute in homescreen android
trying with different rom jb ..same problem ..
after replace my battery ..problem is gone..

@strachg If the phone used to work well before you flashed JB I'd recommend going back to ICS to see if the problem persists. If it disappears the reason is JB which would not supprise me since all JB roms for the Note are not really bug free. If the phone continues to behave like you described and changing the battery does not help either I'd say it's a hardware failure.

Hi, Yeah I already tried going back to ics and it was just the same, it just seems like a bit of coincidence and really annoying lol. The only thing I can think off that is causing it is as you say that its a hardware fault and it must be overcharging the battery and breaking it. If it was JB that was causing it im sure I wouldn't have been the only one by now.
thanks
Graham

how did you install jb? Was it clean on safe kernel? You havent eliminated the possibility of software issues.
Qazibazit, it looks ok.
Guideline 3,5-4,5 hours on screen time is normal (if you play games can be less, thus is from full to 1%). Total standby time, usually more then 24 hours is normal.
If you have a lot less, go read ahalfords sticky on wakelocks. All you need to know to optimize battery.

Hi baz 77 yeah using safe kernel, tried a few actually. And using utackas. Version of paranoid android now again tried a few Roms. Everything was wiped and redone the process about 20 times. I looked through all the roms. And kernel threads and no one has had this problem. New battery coming so will see how it goes now.

yep thats pretty definitive, at least if all those roms are not having same base and thus posibly same issues.
Your new battery will improve your experience quite a bit if its a good one!
Have fun with it and let us know if it worked for you

[Q] Battery Problem..

Hello Friends,
Nowadays, I am facing a weird problem. Everytime when i was using my phone for a while, screen flickers and phone shutdown. When starting the phone, it says battery discharged or 1%, needs to recharge again and it happen in every 2-3 hours.
Also, i tried different roms thinking might be problem with the ROMs (i tried STOCK as well other ROMS). I also tried to calliberate the battery with different paid and free application but no luck.
Could you please suggest is my battery dead or some tweaks needs to be done?
Early help is really appreciated.
Thanks.

It is almost 1 year.

Need a new battery mate, this is normal around this time, I've had mine since November 2011 and it had the same thing happen. Have just ordered a new stock.
A lot of people started suffering with this after 10 months so you've done quite well to get 12 out of it.

Use pure alcohol and cotton buds and clean the pins. Don't think it will make a difference but can't hurt.
