I duno why I cant send message.  Maybe can't receive also. Empty sms. Keep sending failed.  Is that possible a rom or kernel problem? Im on watam and using perseus. Im on the bus to kl. Is that safe to flasg watam rom again? Do I have to wipe anything.  Or flash back stock kernel only can flash watam again? .. please help.  Urgent

Flashing back same developer rom just wipe caches will do. Not necessay to flash stock kernel

My shots are different from his. I am just a point n shoot guy n I would say I am a better photographer than him. Something very obviously wrong with his xperia shots as I think he had adjusted the settings n not using default

Still no fight with note 2. Faster processor not necessary better experience

Eventhough I have sold off my note2 due to the bad habit of wanting to try newer ones, I would say given a choice now I will still choose note2 as my preferred android

I have like 3.8GB of songs which I stored in my sd card . If it's fat32 , I cant seem to detect it in my phone for ringtones . But for ExFat , there is not a problem .
My question is limitation for fat32 is 4Gb correct ? Is it per file or per folder as I stored my songs in my media > ringtones . But then i feel funny not being able to have it detected even it's not even 4Gb
*
4 GB per file
And I dont remember having such a problem in my previous Note 2 using fat32 class 10 64 GB card initially. Subsequently change to exfat format for swapping memory purposes

They forgot to comment - can you take a sauna bath in a pot of hot steaming soup ?
There was this video ( quite dumb I'd say ) of xperia z in a pot of hot boiling soup with spices and all sorts of vegetables thrown in and of course the xperia z survives. The lengths some dumb guys will go to just proof his point. There was even a video this guy pisses on his xperia z to proof its waterproofing but queries whether he really piss as cannot see his little brother in the video

How can you get 8 hours of SOT unless you use Mugen extended battery..
But actually the SOT is not accurate enough because some people play games and obviously will have shorter time for the SOT..
And some people only have 0% brightness all the time..
*
That I would say is pure nonsense that only using mugen battery will help
For your info hitting 8-10 hours SOT is common for me n I am using original stock battery
Is how you control your wakelocks

Uncle, how do you control your wakelocks?
*
Look under wakelocks using betterbatterystats . Usually these wakelocks are the one eating up your battery when you are not using it
Example in my recent new phone , HTC Butterfly - I noted the drain was 2-3%/hour without even using the phone. Wakelocks shown most prominent was audioout_4 : gooogle for it not much advise on solution , except disabled all default sounds if you do not need it. I have already disabled all these by default , yet the issue still persists. I than uninstalled all apps that needed/use sound and using Sherlock Holmes style do a eliminate and deduce style. End of the day I found the culprit - Vol+ and is strange it gives such issues on the Butterfly but not on the Note 2, Nexus4 and Xperia S. With uninstalling the app , now the drain on the Butterfly on idle is hardly 0.2%/hour . See, just a single app can gives so much problem
Secondly, disable all apps that you do not need to be regularly updated , eg I use Beautiful Widgets - default it updates the weather every 5 mins - I change it to every 4hours, RSS feeds - I change update to every hour instead of 10 mins, Facebook - another battery burner as it runs wild on its own and you cannot control it - I uninstalled it and replace with Friendcaster so that I can control how often it updates ( Friendcaster is also a way much better app than Facebook with more features) , etc , etc. Too many other apps I do not wish to quote. The thing is take time to study each app that needs access internet - disable the auto updates or control the time that it checks for updates
You need to spend time to analyse - sorry there is no quick fix solution

With such steps, my previous Note 2 overnight with 3G on, battery drain most is 3% over 7 hours and also about same on Butterfly, Nexus 4 and is close to ZERO on xperia Z ( due to its builtin excellent stamina mode)

These are highly recommended and MUST read to understand wakelocks
Spent time to read it ; you neeed not understand 100% but just to get an idea - than explore on your own. You don't need to be a genius or have high IQ to do own analysis. Sorry, hate to say - Only lazy users will ask other people to analyse for them

I just got a PM asking me to explain " Sherlock Holmes style "
Geez - that guy must be a young chap who does not know who is Sherlock Holmes. We old guys grew up hearing stories about the Baker Street great detective
Basically, you test by uninstalling all suspected apps. Than install back one first. Observe the wakelocks , say after half an hour. Than proceed to another install. Repeat the exercise till you find the culprit app. Is a tedious exercise but is worth it if it can solve your unwanted wakelock issues. As said earlier, there is no quick easy fix unless your first few attempts to uninstall suspected culprit apps works.
This is essentially basic detective work : deduce and eliminate

Tell him to get 3 things first:

1. Deerstalker hat
2. Trenchcoat
3. Pipe and tobacco

Optionally he may take violin classes.

hmm.gif the recent Sherlock Holmes movie was very MTV-ish without dwelling upon characterisation, so they never saw the detective work bit.

Too much quaffing of pop culture.  cool.gif

That movie starring Robert Downey jr was a gross misinterpretation of the original Sherlock Homes character. I did not even bother finish watching it. Some other ridiculous movies are Hansel n Gretel ...something killers, Lincoln vampire slayer ,and now most recent OZ the wizard - watch all the trailers and it just upset me
This is unjustified commercialisation just to make money
Sorry out of topic. Subject closed.

Pop over n have a look. Those guys I would say a bunch of "uneducated" blokes, more like kids throwing sand at one another. So childish n throwing tantrum comments. Our lowyat forum though there are some die hard fans are more mature n behave better.

I have tested his Thor kernel on previous Note ( not Note2). He was banned from XDA because he refuse to acknowledge stuffs he had used from other developers in his kernel.

is there any other methods i can clear this bad cache files? thx

Go to settings /apps - locate both playstore and google services framework - clear caches and data
Reboot phone. And try access playstore again - if still cannot, only choice I guess is flash back your rom
