[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
4.1.57, then OTA to 4.1.83.

4.1.83 sbf won't be a full system flash.

Or just flash 4.1.26 or 4.1.57 and return it. You don't have to update your phone to the latest firmware to return it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
How about try downloading a third party camera app? Less time consuming than flashing and you could tell right away if it was an app problem. There's a free version of lgcamera that works. It may fc if you try to take a picture with some settings, but that's besides the point since you don't need to be able to take the actual picture, just see that the camera is showing something valid, right?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagerox:
So I flashed back to 1.26 and OTA'd up to current and the cam is still dead. I guess my only option is to warranty it, unless there is another option I'm not aware of.

Actually. I didn't ignore him, figure if a sbf and factory reset didn't fix the cam a third party app wont do it either.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinomitsu:
I currently have SyndicateRom Frozen 1.1.0 installed on my Epic.

Today, the phone seemed to start repeatedly rebooting.

I pulled the battery and restarted the phone.

After it booted up, all of my apps that are on the SD card don't register as installed.

Most of the apps on the phone force close as soon as I try to boot them up. Including Gmail and Maps. The Market seems to be one of the few things I can actually get into. My Gmail account is still active on the phone after looking in the account list under the phone settings.

It also seems as if my Keyboard no longer has it's dictionary up to date with the things I've added. When I tried to swype in my email address, it doesn't register and I had to type it in again.

Not exactly sure what happened here, but my phone doesn't seem to do much of anything right now. I can get text messages and phone calls at least.

Anyone have any idea what may have happened or how to fix it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
That is what happens when the phone gets improperly shut down with journaling off.

I'd say download 1.1.1 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1091680, put it on your sd card (hopefully you have a way to get it on there... if not just wipe data cache and dalvik 3X and flash 1.1.0, put 1.1.1 on your sd card, wipe data cache and dalvik 3X and flash 1.1.1.) If you can put 1.1.1 on your sd, just wipe everything 3X and flash it through clockwork.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinomitsu:
Thanks for the info qb. The phone is definitely registering that the SD card is there. I can still browse my picture gallery and stuff like that.

Will flashing 1.1.1 restore the phone to the way it was or will I have to reinstall all of my stuff and restore all my data? :(

I can get 1.1.1 on the SD card I'm sure. Since it's reading the SD card, hopefully it will read it when I connect the phone to my PC. If not, I have a microSD -> USB drive that I can use.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You will need to restore your last known good data from a backup.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
If you have made a nandroid backup since flashing this rom you can just restore that. If not, then you will have to restore everything after wiping everything 3X and flashing the rom again. I'd recommend going to the 1.1.1 thread and look in the first or second post there is a way to turn on journaling and that wil eliminate this problem from happening again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinomitsu:
Well after wiping everything and installing 1.1.1, now it won't connect to my Wireless network. :(

keeps saying "connecting..." then goes right to "disconnected."

This really sucks.

Edit... wait.. that was my network being a little *****. No problems.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinomitsu:
Wiped everything and installed 1.1.1 and all is well now. I actually didn't have a recent back up (shame on me) so I'm starting fresh again. :(

Thanks for the info.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] AxesofEvil:
Status: working!

The tar file has some binaries which work.

If you aren't a developer you probably don't care about this.

I'm working on getting FUSE working on my P500, and thought I'd share my experiences. FUSE is a mechanism to mount lots of filesystems (like fusecompress, sshfs, or unionfs) without needing to recompile the kernel or patch the kernel. My need is to have a writeable /system that can be 'cleaned' back to the original state with the push of a button.

The following details my initial attempt. I've had better success as detailed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14619814&postcount=3

Steps:

1) get the kernel source and build it with the FUSE module enabled. this provides fuse.ko which should be usable on virtually all 2.6.32.xx kernels for the P500

2) get the fuse userspace libraries and compile. I had to use a very old version (2.4.2) because newer versions need support for statvfs which bionic doesn't have. I had to patch in apthread_rwlock which isn't in bionic for froyo, and a few other cleanups.

3) get a fuse filesystem to test. I'm using unionfs-fuse. I had to use a very old version (0.11) to go with my very old libfuse from (2)

4) Try it out:

* move the files from 1-fuse.ko, 2-fusercompress, and 3-unionfs to the p500

* become root

* make sure all files are executable and in the PATH

* load the kernel module: insmod fuse.ko

* try to use fuse: ./unionfs --roots=/sdcard /mnt/asec

The last step seems to work, but ps shows no unionfs process.

Next I try with debug enabled:

* ./unionfs --roots=/sdcard /mnt/asec -d

This gives a segfault

Lastly I try with strace to find the segfault:

* strace -ff -F ./unionfs --roots=/sdcard /mnt/asec -d

now the code no longer segfaults, and the mount works.

So my goal now is to figure out why it segfaults when not run via strace.

I found someone who got this working on the desire:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=763908

(I tried their binaries just for fun, but they're not compatible with the P500)

They did it by using scratchbox which imports glibc. I was trying to do a native bionic build, but it may be easier to try scratchbox, as it would let me have a modern libfuse. If I can't figure out this segfault, then I'll go there next. Has anyone tried building for the P500 using scratchbox?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Sweet idea man! ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] AxesofEvil:
Ok, I have fuse fully working using the latest fuse version 2.8.5

In order to build, I got a copy of statvfs.c and statvfs.h from the shieldroid project. I had to modify the definition of f_fsid to be 'unsigned long' and adjust statvfs.c appropriately I also ended up disabling multi-threaded support in fuse as it made it made it easier to compile.

With a bunch of monkeying around, I got libfuse compiled with the apropriate utils. I verified the example filesystems worked, then went ahead and built unionfs-fuse (latest version).

Using the tar file in the 1st post you can now:

* copy all files to /data and make executable

* add the relevant directory to your path

* insmod fuse.ko

* ./unionfs /sdcard:/system/bin /data/local/tmp

* ls /data/local/tmp (should contain the contents of /system/bin and /sdcard in one merged dir)

When I get a chance, I'll build an installable zip that puts the files in the right place for easy use.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] AxesofEvil:
FYI, my goal is to create a utility that can temporarily enable root on a phone and then disable it when done. My idea is to move the 'su' command out of /system/bin onto /data, and then use unionfs to teporarily add it back onto /system/bin on command. When done, you'll be able to click to unmount it again, bringing the phone back to an unrooted state.

It'll work sort of like the 'temporary root' capability of z4root, but will be undoable without a reboot (it also won't inculde the code to actually break out of a stock ROM, the goal is to be able to toggle root on an already rooted phone).

I need this capability because I run some enterprise software that doesn't work on a rooted phone, and I don't want to be constantly booting to recovery for root tasks.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] m_mitashki:
Hi, my syster have Samsung Ace 5830 and she told me that she have random reboots on her phone ( 2-3 times a week ). She is with Android version 2.2 , no root....all stock ! She have only installed Skype,Stop Skype and batteryminder ! Do you have the same problem? :confused: What can she do ? Thanks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Reyoth:
Does she have random reboot or SOD (sleep of death) and she has to reboot her phone after ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] m_mitashki:
She have to enter a PIN code... I thing it is random reboot
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Reyoth:
Well, I think you don't have many options.

1. Maybe she has an issue with batteryminder so she has to uninstall it. I'm a skype user too but i don't use "stop skype" to close it.

2. Try to flash her phone with a new stock ROM ?

3. Or send her phone back to her seller ?

It's really hard to find what the issue is when you just have some clue and no phone in your hand. :/
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mr.Sanju:
I had the same problem with my bro's ace.. tried factory reset, rooting.. unrooting.. but nothing helped.. but now have installed the new rom 2.3.4.. and the problem is gone.. been almost 2 days now without a restart... and battery life also seems to be far more better than stock 2.2.1

hope this helps.. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cwilkinson1998:
Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I had these problems as well.

I was on a build of CM9 and this happened non stop all day.

I'm now using stocklite 7.1 which I flashed yesterday. And since then it has restarted on its own every few hours.

I don't know what it is, but now I'm thinking it might be a certain combination of apps that are causing the crashes. I have ES task manager, and that me interfering with the stock task manager that causes the crashes.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
To begin with I don't think that is the cause and you shouldn't kill apps frequently using task manager, maybe you could try out some ram scripts (like v6 super charger). Also, the app "titanium backup" is able to freeze apps, thus leaving it installed but inactive (for the other task manager).

CM9 is not that stable from my experience so I can't really conclude anything there.

But as for the stocklite (which I assume is based on stock firmware) might have the SOD(sleep of death) issue, usually caused by having the Wifi connecting/reconnecting or when it tries to find spots. If you always leave your wifi on, that might be the problem.

but for some IDIOTIC reason i went stock and OTA, now my battery sucks again and when i look at the power management tab it tells me 49 percent of my battery usage is from the display WTF. i have it on low brightness and 15sec time out.

now i cant get back into recovery and flash my other roms :(

here is the interesting thing, it says my S-OFF but yet i dont have access to clockwork or recovery:confused:

As you might have noticed, one can remove the prongs from the official asus charger (kind of like with the apple one).

But it seems to knock out the keyboard commands entirely.

It still connects but it does not respond to input.

Code:"back up keyboard layout"

adb shell

Then inside qwerty.kl

Code:

Hi people

I been trying out all sorts of different emulators to find ones which best suit the phone. I come to a conclusion that emulators for super nintendo and sega megadrive and anything else which is based off of 4 button and d pad controllers are the best playable on phones. obviously people will want to try and get the most up to date graphic games emulators but i found without good game play these do not matter. but i was hoping that everyone who uses emulator could share their own opinions in this thread for people who are looking for the answers that myself and others once did

:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mikeinessex:
i cant seem to find a sega master system emulator to work on sgs2 if anyone knows of one please let me know. snes9x ex is great for super nintendo and its totally free from the market
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] XDA mark:
Im using 2 emulators now,

FPSe for PlayStation 1

N64oid for Nintendo 64

They both work well, though not perfect. On the FPSe I play Final Fantasy VIII, Tekken 3, Tony Hawk 3.. Quake 2 is weird to play, Metal Gear Solid doesnt work for me.

On N64oid I play Zelda Ocorina of time, which again works but not perfect. Some graphical glitches and sometimes crashes. I also tried Mario 64, Zelda Majoras Mask. Super smash bros doesnt work :(

So overall they are great, but I really hope the devs will start optimizing these emulators for the Galaxy S II!

Oh, and good thread. There should be a big thread emulators in general.. At least. Maybe seperate thread for each emulator.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mikeinessex:
hi yh i have used both them and my problem is the lack of controls abilty. not so practical to use the games to their full playability. and yes totally agree with graphic issues. i was so happy to get zelda on my phone but the graphic glitches where far to annoying. my fav is snes games. they most practical but i cant find a sega mastersytem one to work
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
Smash on N64oid works for me...?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Currykiev:
For me it's not so much the system but the game. For example Mario Kart on snes is not great as it's awkward to use the "bumper" buttons to jump round corners. Whereas Diablo on PSX works perfectly control-wise.

It's all just trial and error to see how controls translate to touch screen devices.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] XDA mark:
:D

Haha... Thats the thing I hate AND love about Android. Somehow we both have a Galaxy S II but Super Smash doesnt work on my device, yet it works om yours..
