Is there a way to have a battery percentage indicator at the top (similar to CM6/7)? I know when I am charging that the lockscreen says the level.

Root, then flash modded framework-res.apk which has those options.
It's the Themes subforum.
I was holding off from rooting due to the reported loss of service issues. Stock, I have had no issues at all with losing connectivity.
Is that problem gone?

It's not quite the same as the CM7 battery bar with numbers, but I personally use this widget, battery indicator pro and I happen to love it.

LOS issue happens w/o root, and it also doesn't happen when you have root. The evidence is against any connection between root and los.
You can have everything stock and rooted (by just adding su binary/app).
wil900 posted a link which explains how to achieve that.
I thought there was a whole thread of people saying that they had the LOS when they rooted using Zed's method. I didnt know anyone had issues with LOS without rooting.
I thought it was Kernel related?

the next time you get a LoS would you mind holding down the home button and going into task manager and then to the RAM tab and hit clear memory and tell me if your service comes back? I know this sounds silly but I have a reason for being curious. if anyone decides to give me feedback on this would you please tell me what kernel youre on and if it made a difference for you(aka got signal back)?
Thanks
PS: What im investigating actually has nothing to do with the memory incase your wondering. its what happens when you press the clear ram button.
I don't know about the memory increase bit, but I have actually been recommending this method to a lot of people with LoS issues. I noticed that when you cler cache it also refreshes your signal. Been doing this since I got the phone actually.

memory increase? i didnt say anything about memory increase.
I just had a ghost LOS. Meaning it showed signal, but there was no data connection.
I did as the OP said, and the signal changed to an x next to the bars, followed by a refresh of the signal symbol and return of data coverage.
Thanks. I'm sure this will help a lot in determining LOS and a solution for it
Yep it fixed my Los without a reboot

All it's doing is killing everything essentially so it's killing something likely related to the radio. I will take a look at this next time I have LoS.
hmmm, so this means, in ur mod, u can now try to set it to just clear memory every time there is LoS, instead of rebooting the phone, much simpler.
and hopefully everyone can work together to get to to the root of the problem.

Even better, HaiKaiDo came up with what seems like a really good solution for LoS, I just need to improve some detection in the script.
Clearing the memory doesn't always work.
I've noticed it not working if my phone isn't frozen or locked up. By frozen or locked up I mean I can't hang up or close the phone app when experiencing ghost LoS.
Just for the record on occasion clearing the memory per the above method will sometimes cause los momentarily, so I'm pretty sure that los is caused by the automatic task killer. Would like to see a way to disable task manager to see if los stops.

The momentary loss of service when you press free ram comes from the task manager killing the RIL Daemon service.....this doesnt effect the phone...this actually fixes the LoS. As a matter of fact the new method in viperboy's LoS checker does just that when it detects a LoS. Performs a Kill of the RIL daemon which automatically starts itself back up and cures LoS.
Just had Los and this method worked for me, thanks!

Which brings up the point of why the hell the SAMSUNG Task Killer kills its own radio. I would think that it shouldn't do that, but atleast this works for LoS for the moment.
Just realized that I had Los, no service at all where I am normally covered. Cleared the Ram and service is back to normal.

Hi I rooted phone the got two LOS and said OK back to stock.
No LOS. But none of the ROM goodness that I desire.
Could you post link to your automatic LOS detection/restoration method? And perhaps post what ROM and kernel your using?
Just want to replicate your rooted phone and have (I'm assuming here: built-in in LOS detection/restoration)
Are you using tasker?
Thank you in advance.

I don't think its that simple. It could be killing a process that the rild looks for and it not seeing it active, the rild crashes. Or the mass clear of ram causes something to crash the rild. Or what makes even more sense is the Samsung task kill clearing too much ram, a space in memory where the rild would be loaded causing it to get killed and restarted, hence restoring service after LoS.

I am currently in a LOS. I am running the rogue 1.1.1+ kernel.
Even when using the task manager and clearing everything, it persists.
I don't have alogcat loaded or I would grab a log for someone.

My daughters att gs3 screen keeps turning on and off all the time all by itself. its all pure stock, NO root, stock rom still.
Data block on her line.
She doesnt have much installed in it and i dont want to reset it. is there anything i can install that will tell me what is causing it?
I know there is a better battery stats app. Not sure if it needs root? Imunsure it will help as its a bit confusing to read thru all the readings
Strangely mines did this for a day and it killed my battery. Hasn't happened since then though. Glad I wasn't going crazy. Mines is also stock no root or anything.

This is happening on my phone too, and when the screen turns on by itself it won't time out, have to manually lock it. Thought it was something to do with smart stay but mine is disabled. I flashed a custom rom yesterday and noticed it still happening. Carriers hardware support thinks it is a hardware issue and want me to rma my phone.

I think your only option is reseting the phone to make sure the phone doesnt have hardware issues. Try a fresh stock install from odin.

I tried also the nexus toolkit...but when i try to do something with fastboot the program says WAITING DEVICE forever...
Guys, please help!! Its really urgent!
Hi,
I think there are two reasons for random reboots:
1- overheating
2-lack of ram (many running proceses, so ram gets full, so it reboots.
Press the thanks button if I helped

No, even when the battery isnt hot it reboots!!
and it is without any apps installed, only stock apps!! I did also a factory reset from settings..but nothing happened...
Searching on net, i read that the opened locket is the bootloader....is that causing random reboots? If yes, how to relock with toolkit? Beacause it says me WAITING DEVICE

No, unlocking the bootloader shouldn't do this. I have an unlocked bootloader, and I have this phone(xperia arc) for 5 months and I only had one random reboot and it was definitely because of lack of ram

Yes but im talking about NEXUS and maybe its different!!
I used to have that happen all the time. I used to think that the phone sucked but my husband never had that happen with his. I compared the apps and wiped my phone, only installed what he had on there. It still happened. I was really beginning to get mad but I wiped it again. I Installed things one by one only allowing myself to install a new app only after it had gone a week with no nonsense. Yes, this was a painful process but I found the cause of my random reboots. I use Handcent. That alone isn't the cause. When I would get new sounds for my GN, I would have the option of making them a ringtone or a Handcent notification among other things. If I made Handcent notifications, that seemed to cause the problem. If I move a sound into the notifications folder and assign it to contacts in Handcent, everything has been fine.
I don't know if this helps your problem but some settings could affect unexpected things. Good luck!

I had random reboots on my Verizon GN running the OTA 4.1.1. I got so fed up with it that I went back to 4.0.4. I have had no problems or reboots since doing this.
Are you running Chrome or the stock browser? I've always had the random restarts on my N10, but only started seeing them on my GN after I started using Chrome around the time 4.2.2 came out.

Hi, just installed the OTA from 4.4.4 to 5.0 and...
I've noticed when using the devices the wifi signal drops completely and then (near) instantly comes back.
Is this common?
I've actually noticed it a lot when the device has been idle 10+ minutes, when i turn the screen on signal icon shows absolutely none.

Nope none here... Flashed factory images with full wipe all is fine.

Yeah I just installed the OTA when it came through to the N7...guess I'll fully erase and re-flash the 5.0 factory image and see if that solves it...sigh why can't anything ever be simple?

Well, it should have been with the OTA. You might want to try sideloading the zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380113, post 353). Youtube has videos explaining procedure if needed. It's not dead simple but might avoid a wipe.
I've only noticed this since running the August security updated and its happened across three ROMs so far (Screwed, Pure Nexus, LOS (No gapps)). Sometimes the screen takes for ever to power up. Once it is up the lock screens responsiveness varies greatly. Not always in the same instance as the screen issue but when unlocking the device it will momentarily freeze. Sometimes locking itself again..
Curious if anyone has seen anything similar.
How are you restoring your apps when you flash a ROM? If you restore them from a Google cloud backup you could be restoring corrupted data that is causing the problem. I had that happen when a utility app completely screwed up the scrolling on my phone. I did a factory reset but restored my phone from a cloud backup and the problem came back exactly the same. The next day I did another factory reset but set up the phone as new and manually downloaded my apps from the Play Store. This time the problem was gone.

I'm not sure if that could cause the same problem but presumably you are restoring app data along with the apps so it might be possible. Have you tried using the phone in safe mode to see if the problem still persists? It seems unlikely that what you are experiencing is a known issue with the August security update since we are more than halfway through the month without anyone else reporting a similar issue.

So I was experiencing REALLLY SLOW screen turn ons. Like it could take 30+ seconds. But the phone was awake as my LED was on, and fingerprint haptic feedback.
When looking for solutions, I found this post. I use Auto Hide Soft Keys, to hide my status bar and nav bar when I dont need them. When disabling (and even after re-enabling), the problem was fixed (for now anyways)
Can you elaborate on this post? Do you have some experience with nav bar hiding causing slow screen turn ons?
