Edit: forgot to mention that the phone starts by itself when i put the battery .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awojtas:
Did you originally have a kernel with Voodoo in it? I had the same problem and fixed it by flashing these (all using Odin 1.8.2):

1. Flash to 2.2 stock rom (downloaded from samfirmware)

2. Install CWM recovery (probably not necessary)

3. Flash with 2.3 gingerbread starter kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047924

4. Flash to 2.3.3 JVK http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1066040

It's normal for it to take a little longer to start up once the dalvik cache is cleared.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheedatali:
Hi guys,

I have been using the phone for 1 week now. Each time I play a video file (xvid/dvix) encoded using Rockplayer/Moboplayer, my phone randomly hangs. The only way out is to.restart the phone. Has anyone else experienced same issue? This only happens while video playback is going on. And mostly it hangs at exactly same position in the file as before. These files used to play fine on Nexus One and iPhone, so the files are ok. Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

/sheeda
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
I can't give you a reason why they hang, but i do have a question...

why not use the player on the Galaxy? It's perfectly fine and can handle almost any file type and 1080p HD vids...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabs52:
I'm using moboplayer, not getting what youre talking about at all. Plays smoothly. And as to the 2nd post for why not use stock player?

Well I watch videos on this while I do cardio everyday... a little over an hour each day. Moboplayer has touch controls. You can swype different parts of the screen in different directions. For example: adjust brightness, skip forward/backward, and control volume. Its a bit easier to use than stock player cause of that. That's my only reason really.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheedatali:
I wish I could just do that. The issue is that same media when played from SD card, plays via internal player. However it says "Video can not be played" when played via upnp. I have tried both allshare and skifta. Same issue.

I watch different stuff when at home, since it is on a NAS which has a upnp server, it makes more sense not having to transfer all that stuff.

If i jailbrake the phone dose it unlock the phone like GSM unlocked?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pLUSpISTOL:
GSM unlock is different from jailbreaking.

Jailbreaking allows you to install homebrew apps.

GSM unlocking is removing the carrier restrictions so you can use it with a different sim card.

If you want this then google "your phone sim unlock"

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rcm_rx7:
Today while I was plugged in I noticed my TF was not getting charged. I checked all the connections, rebootedthe device, and still no luck. I plugged it into my laptop and it was recognized as usual, and even charged up 1% over 10 minutes. I then plugged it into an old iphone charger and it charged a bit faster.

I tried the Asus AC adapter again and it didn't work. I called Asus and explained the issue. I was told I could order a new charger through estore.asus.com. Of course they don't have them in stock. I called the store and they recommended I contact customer support again. I called them back and they said my only option was to wait until the estore got them in stock. They said I couldn't RMA the Adapter at all. The rep said he couldn't confirm if the adapter was covered by the warranty!

I'm really frustrated right now, sorry for venting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] RMXO:
Man that sucks & what a ****. Try calling again & hope you get a better CS rep. GL to you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] atxer:
Apologize for asking a trivial question; have you made sure that the wall adapter has locked into the charger correctly? There are two prongs in the adapter that need to click into the charger unit. I ask since I had a hard time figuring this one out :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] fonze73:
Does your TF battery discharge when plugged in? I have noticed others on here and some other sites talking about a charging problem. I got my TF today and plug it in right away since it talks about charging for 8 hours. It went from 35% to 100% pretty fast. After it got to 100 I put it on the dock and plugged the dock in. At some point the dock got a green light. At that point I hit the battery icon and saw it said 98%. It has stayed there for the last three hours with everything plugged in. The thinkpad I have at work has a preset threshold for when it starts charging. Supposidly this is for the battery health. I wonder if the TF wont start charging until it drops to a certain level. Even though my TF doesn't show charging at 98% if plugged in directly or through the dock if the dock is plugged in the dock shows a green light.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dictionary:
Yup. Devices will only start charging at 89-90% until full. If you disconnect the charger before it's full, most will not continue charging, until again depleted below that threshold.

OP, try turning the device off completely with the cable out (hold the power button for about 15 seconds). Then, when off, and the cable plugged into the charger, plug the charger in to the device. If the charger is working, it should power the device on, and hopefully, you'll see the charging icon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SilentMobius:
Don't know where you are in the world but in the UK they _can't_ exclude an integral part like that from the warranty. If the person on the other end cant verify if it's under the warranty I suggest you tell them to get someone that can. their lack of internal communication is not your problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] kunrj:
I got the same problem.

I got my Transformer last week and I encountered the same problem. When I first called the Asus support, the guy told me that my option would be to send the whole thing to them because I did not know at that time that it was the adapter. I told him that I would return the machine to the store that I bought instead. Then, I started testing by plugging it to my PC and it worked. I also plugged a USB light to the Asus adapter and it did not do anything, so I called them back the next day. I got a better support person this time and he told me to send the adapter back to them. I got the RMA number. I know that they probably don't have the replacement yet so I will have to wait and see.

In the mean time, I find out that the iPad AC adapter will charge the Transformer a bit faster than plugging into a computer. However, it is still not that fast. It takes several hours before charging from 60% to 100%, but it is not too bad. I will have to leave with it until I get a replace adapter.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rcm_rx7:
I have tried completely powering the tablet off and plugging it in, it does nothing. The adapter worked fine for about a week, but now it's toast. I'm going to try and call Asus again today and see what I can do. It's sad that others have had the same issue!

I'm going to try and find an iPad charger in the meantime.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] kunrj:
Replacement adapter?

As I said before, the iPad AC adapter will charge the transformer but it will be slow. I tried to find a replacement adapter but I could not find anything that will provide 15V and 1.2Amp. I think the iPad adapter will provide 5V and more than 1.2Amp. Does anyone know an AC adapter that will provide more voltage?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] davedontmind:
FYI I've tried emailing Asus about getting a spare power adapter. They weren't particularly helpful:
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SilentMobius:
Even if you happen to find a 15v PSU with a USB connector on it it's unlikely to work as it would nee dto put that 15v on the right pin. The USB3 socket is not supposed to have 15v anywhere so the pinout can't be anything like a standard, they just happen to be rolling in 2 uses (USB sync/+15v Power) into one port.

I don't usually call anybody, just text and data. But a friend needed help, I'm running miui (and have been since the newest update) my speaker phone works and I can hear them and my earphones pick it up, but the in call speaker doesn't output any sound. So am I sol, or could it be with my rom. Ill do a nandroid and flash that awesome rom or cm7 to test it out.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nativ73:
Same thing happened to my first shift the 2nd week I had it. Factory reset didn't help, had to exchange it out and I haven't had any issues with the replacement since. Hope it works out for you as well!
[EVO Shift 4G General] jhunterb18:
Mine messed up also. Wasn't sure if it was some sand that fell in my pocket with my phone or not. Still made sound but sounded popped. Sprint fixed it for free because I have insurance. Then when they fixed it they messed up the screen so they just replaced the whole phone. Just got it today actually. So, go to sprint and have them fix it our replace it. Need to go back to stock though if you take it to them rooted they will void the warranty.

[Xperia Arc General] rumy:
Okay, so I have had the arc for a week now and am absolutely loving it, but I feel the itch once again to switch to something new...

I am considering the Samsung Infuse 4G. Question, in-case anyone is in the same boat as me and/or has experienced the infuse 4G or SGSII.

How does our reality display compare to the super amoled plus display?

Reasons I am considering a switch:

No custom rom support to satisfy my flashing addiction.... as of yet!

No search button, I wish the menu long press would act as search and not keyboard popup. (Work around I figured out is to map the focus button to the search function) but then I loose the focus button which also bothers me :(
[Xperia Arc General] solidkevin:
No offence but thats pretty ridiculous....only after a week!?? Especially for the reasons you listed. hell I at least wait a couple months...
[Xperia Arc General] rumy:
lol, I have been told I need to see someone about my addiction :p
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Reality display has genuine real world colors. AMOLED is either love or hate and it all depends on personal preferences. I have over saturated unnatural colors. One of the main reason I sold my SGII afer couple of days of use. Also, the beauty of Arc and SE interface is very much in line with my personal taste. Also, I didn't like how GSII felt in my hand and it looks ugly to me. I read in one of the reviews that Infuse has great build. Looking forward to checking it out on 15th even though I am sure I won't buy it.

Long press brings up like you said the keyboard which actually works pretty good when you are in contacts and some other screens where the cursor is already in text field.
[Xperia Arc General] racer91:
if you long press to bring up the keyboard if you start typing wont it instantly start searching?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
On the homepage, long press of the menu hard key button will bring the search function.
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
My god, the phone's been out a month and youre complaining about lack of custom roms? This stuff takes time you know, it wont be any different on the infuse if you buy that. Have patience.

And, as others have said, go to home screen, long press on the menu brings up the keyboard, start typing and it goes straight to search!
[Xperia Arc General] cherryfish:
I think rumy got it by now. :D But thanks for the hint, I didn't know that either. What happens if I uninstall Google Search? Has anyone tried this?

@rumy:

It all depends on your financial situation, I would say! If you're addicted to switching your phone every week and you can afford it, that's fine with me. :D It's completely irrational, but if you have fun with it... ^^
[Xperia Arc General] rumy:
Hahaha thanks all, btw I was not complaining about no custom roms, I was just sharing my impatientness towards the wait :D

Anyways, applications like winamp needs the dedicated search, if not it can get bothersome to actually search for a song. Does any one know how easy it would be to modify the long-press function of a key?

Also, @kitsVA I really do like how the arc fits in my hand, and the look on others faces when they feel how light and sexy this phone is :D
[Xperia Arc General] solidkevin:
Listen OP im not flaming you as I too have gone through this, but you know how I overcame it? You just have to put everything into perspective, you can browse the web, watch vids on a magnificent 4.2" screen, you can listen to your music, take amazing photos with one of the best camera sensors on a phone, play games, apps etc, what CANT you do on this phone? It is a nice lightweight, unique looking phone, It runs well, it does everything its supposed to do and more! At the end of the day you have to realize that no phone and I mean NO phone on the planet is going to be perfect, every single phone you will ever buy will have imperfections, but guess what? Thats life, nothing in this world is perfect. So these little flaws that you keep finding in phones (like I did) guess what? Yea you can sell it, but the next phone you buy might fix those little problems but will bring 2 or three more, its a never ending cycle.

Another thing is that no matter what you are never gonna be "up to date" for more then a year, unless you plan on changing phones every 6 months then whats the point? Do you REALLY need that Dual Core? Do you REALLY need that slightly RAM? Slightly better Screen? Why not just wait until something that is REALLY a step up from what you have comes out and then you get it, not only will it be cheaper for you in the long run but it will be much more satisfying. Try to focus on other more important things in your life rather then just your phone, yeah its nice to have an expensive fully featured phone, go for it! Thats why I spend $600 on the arc!! But make sure you keep it for a while and get your moneys worth or else whats the point!? No ones gonna care what kind of phone you have or much less what specs are inside it! Most casual people have either a blackberry (which doesn't even come close spec/feature wise) or and iPhone, or a regular dumb phone or some carrier android phone, so chances are if you have some super high end phone like these they will be impressed regardless, either that or they plain wont care!

Everyone has different needs and wants but at the end of the day really sit down and think about what you NEED and what you WANT, cause most have a hard time separating the two. Right now my Arc will do everything I want and need plus more! I have no reason to upgrade for a while....

Just my opinion from someone who was in a similar situation as you, hope it helps.

I need some advice. I had the phone running pnp.3 and it seamed the phone was slowly getting flakier. So I decided just to do a fresh install. I backed up everything, cleared caches, disabled voodo and bebooted. Everything fine so far. Then rebooted to download and did fresh install of stock ec10 with odin. Upon finishing, it went to stock download screen and i can't get get past this. It reboots to recovery. I cant apply update.zip. ADB does not find the device. I can not seem to find a way to get to download mode. I get the following error in recovery: E:Can't mount /dev/block/st111 (Invalid arqument).

Is this the end?

[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
I have had this issue myself.. The way to fix it is to flash DI14 (android 2.1) on first with Odin..

it should then boot up just fine with no recovery on boot, then flash EC10.. That works every time for me.

PITA I know, but it only happens now and again.

::Edit I see someone already posted that... Doh!
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
Its funny every time I repartion with ec10 I messes up so I always start from 2.1. I do a fresh flash every time I change roms. I used to have a vibrant before and it was always recommended to flash with odin to stock repartion then go from there. It savedd me alot of headaches
[HD7 General] Adam86:
Hi all,

Do any if you encounter the same issue as I do at all?

It only shows on white screens so when turning the phone on and the white HTC screen comes up is probably best to reproduce.

Applying pressure on the bottom right of my screen shows a funny mark, like when pushing on a TFT monitor (I must admit I am pressing harder than normal) but I don't know if its been there all along and is a fault? Or is normal, as cannot reproduce anywhere else on the screen.

[Defy General] lionheartpl:
Hi there,

So I'd my Defy for a little over 2 months now and I have used the mentioned ROMs with it for at least a week each. It first had Eclair, I promptly changed that to a Pays version of Froyo and now i'm using Quarx CM7.

A lot of my friends have this phone and report battery life of over 24h. They do work in places where they can connect their phones to their laptops and car charger, and they are lighter users than me.

But I'm a med student so I get out in the morning around 6 am, unplug my phone and go to the hospital returning home around 8pm. 14h later my phone is already at 33% charge. I keep wifi turned off, 3G off and use my phone to check MedScape(a medical info repository) and e-mail/facebook 6 times a day and listen to music for 4h.

Is that a good battery life? i mean, for a new phone. I imagine that if I let my 3G i won't get to the middle of my afternoon without needing to recharge.

Around the forum I read about people with OVER 48h of battery life, HOW?

thanks in advance.

Also, as I know it will be asked. My signal reception is flawless all through my working environment.
