activemind: Keep us posted if you find a cause. I am on a Samsung Vibrant (3g) via TMOB but have been having the same issue today with a completely different rom (simply honey). This is actually about the 6th thread I've found in the past two days having this same issue on Galaxy S phones.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jferg5:
I have had this problem before and what caused it was restoring system data with titanium. Make sure you are only restoring apps.
[Galaxy S II General] ChopinLives81:
Hey guys, I haven't been on here in a while so I don't know if anyone knows this or not. So my Galaxy S 2 is unrooted, untampered , nothing done to it at all. The other day I discovered that if you turn the volume down till the phone is on vibrate, it mutes all camera sounds, shutter, beeps etc...

I got mine from expansys-usa and it came with KE4 which i'm still running.
[Galaxy S II General] Technoholik:
I agree.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] alex2787:
Not @ KE2 :-(
[Galaxy S II General] ChopinLives81:
I know most users here already have their phones rooted, but can the rest who haven't rooted please confirm this on other firmwares.

I just bought the transformer after using gtab 10.1 for three weeks now. I love both of them. Not having facebook is a minus, but i can live with that. I am so used tu Samsungs Facebook. Transformer got its 3.1 update right out of the box and i've done a factory reset, si ce there nothing had been installed. Then i realized that gallery pictures had gone. Now i wonder what else had been deleted with factory reset. And where can i find originally installed pictures and other stuff?

Maybe one other question. Everyone speaks of light bleed. I didnt notice any, only down left edge has more brilliance, but i suppose it is the led source, no?

Thanx in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skeeterpro:
I also migrated from the GTab so I know the chnages in file names and locations can be a bit confusing at first. Use a file explorer and navigate to removable. That will be your uSD (if I recall sd2 or sdcard on GTab). Were the images you are missing self loaded or stock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CalvinH:
Yep that's the light bleed.

But if you can't find it don't look for it!

Enjoy your TF.

You may be speaking of the effect that honeycomb has within the system. Don't panic. Go on the market and download this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.ujacha.deadpixel&feature=search_result

See if you have any dead pixels first, and then look at the blank black screen closely and see if there is any light bleed.

As for the pictures and such, I wish I had done a factory reset because that was the first thing I deleted! There was some music too on there. Deleted that immediately. No need for those. I am curious as to what apps you have on yours. Do you have Kindle? Press Reader? Zinio?

Thanx for all the replies... and thanx for dead pikel proggie. I think mine is a superb one. Knock on wood. Not a single dead pixell. As for the light bleed, a slight change in luminescence on the left edge towards the bottom. Unnoticeable. I looked at first, for i had read too many complaints, and that was the first thing i was looking for. Happy, happy, happy. I love both my tabs, and my old samsung gsm euro tab.
[HD2 General] berkla:
Hey there,

I'm looking to buy a used HD2, and came across one at a good price on Craigslist. The owner says that the phone has "no operating system installed" and needs a new ROM. I was planning on throwing Android onto the phone anyways, but do not want to buy a bricked phone.

The seller has a picture of the phone screen which I could PM but can't link to since I'm a new user. Basically, the screen is divided into 4 parts: red, green, blue, and white, and there is text on the top, red section. Does anyone know what this might mean?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] denarsyah:
its the bootloader, means it can be flashed by any rom, but form this tricolor screen you cannot check the phone condition.
[HD2 General] Moon2:
It means that you can easily install winmo rom/android/winphone7.

For android, install MAGLDR when the phone is at that state: hold (Red button + Voldown button), and plug into computer.

Then, using cwm, you can install any of the android roms on here.

Make sure u ask the guy if everything else on the phone is in working condition, and the only problem with it is that there's no OS on it.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
You guys forgot to mention that this could be a fake HD2 from China.

Can you post a picture of the tri-color screen so it can be verified.

Tbh I wouldn't really trust buying it either way if it doesnt currently have a rom on. It takes minutes to put one on and if the seller hasnt done this for purposes of selling it would make me suspicious, It could have bad hardware or a corrupted nand or anything.
[HD2 General] berkla:
Sold it to someone else, thanks for the help though!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] budaiyanjing:
Hey guys, having check all the Android tabs, I make my choice of Flyer, the reason why I don't want buy Android 3.0 devices is because I already have iPad and iPad2, and the current Android3.0 is lacking of software supports, especially video playback is suck.

Anyway, I heard that the note software(whatever the name is), sometimes will FORCE CLOSE or chock during usage, IS THAT TRUE? that's the reason i want buy this tab, someone help me clarify, is that occasionally or constantly?

Thanks a lot!

This topic is being discussed in the following thread:

I haven't experienced a FC, but others who use the app more heavily seem to have problems. My experiences have been very good with the Notes app. Taking notes while recording audio has been fine on my device... Again, my typical sitting is about 90 minute meetings resulting in 4-6 pages of notes, typically with audio for the complete meeting... I usually manage to do this about 7-9 sessions over the course of a work week.

Please monitor the original thread... There is good activity and managing redundant ongoing discussions is difficult. :)
[Xperia Play General] thorpe24:
but my xperia has been stolen, most likely by one of two coworkers. i don't have any proof other than i left the phone at work and neither one of them found the phone. i work for a verizon inderect btw.

so i don't know what to do go to the owner and explain and possibly get fired or ostracized, i have no proof, and i'm pretty sure the phone was wiped. though i did call verizon and they told me they can blacklist the esn though i recently filed paperwork for my employee line with that esn so that will be interesting.

any suggestions, i'm really pissed and don't know what to do, i really don't want to think i work with such ****ty people that they would steal from a co-worker, and i really don't want to think i work with people stupid enough to think i won't catch them.

any suggestions?
[Xperia Play General] rogeriskira:
I don't know if they can but can't they track it? I mean I am almost sure they can use the GPS in it to track it. If you work for verizon shouldn't they understand?
[Xperia Play General] thorpe24:
yeah they do, thing is i hadn't activated it yet, had just submitted the paperwork last week, and i am 99.99% sure i left it at work on the fourth, both the employees (one of em my manager) said they hadn't seen the phone.

thing is verizon can't track it if it's not active, and i'm also very sure the phone was wiped, as it's not showing up in the market as far as i can tell.

even if it does get activated by them (i.e. verizon) it has to be *228 option one for the phone to take the activation. but i can't believe that the employees would be that stupid to steal it, what are they gonna do keep it? and me not notice. plus i'm gonna report the esn as lost or stolen so it'll be a bad esn.

i must have just lost it but i have looked everywhere and can't think of where else it could be but one of them having taken it.

just venting more than anything. sorry for cluttering the forum up with my personal **** btw.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Hey, you gotta release your stress somewhere ;). I was always under the impression that the carrier can be tracked your phone easily but don't do it because you are on a contract and need to buy something new from them.

Two years ago I bought a phone, used it for 15 minutes and then switched back to old phone so that I can return the new one without going over the 30minutes return policy. The customer service rep can distinguish exactly how many minutes were used on each phone the previous night. This means that they know which phne is using their services at all time. I'm with rogers gsm network
[Xperia Play General] thorpe24:
Thanks for the support worst part is all the games in had on there if hada16gb card completely full of games like I had 100mb left....
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
Can't you track the imei? If they wipe that no network will accept the phone?
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
I think I read somewhere in this list of comments that you were sure the phone was wiped. Any chance that it isn't? You could try something like LookOut's "Plan B" from the Android Market web page, and if it is on your account still, you can tell it to install on the phone. When/if it does, it would start tracking it and tell you where it thinks it is.

If the phone has been wiped, then it is pretty much down to the procedures you described. Block the ESN/IMEI, report it as stolen, etc. If you can't prove it was the two other folks, then don't say it was them. Simply state your phone has been lost and/or stolen. Say you already did your due diligence of reporting it gone. I guess this is also the place to make sure that you have backups of your SD cards, as well as always to install some sort of remote-control-and-location service on your phone. If it doesn't get wiped, then you can do so. If it is wiped, then less to worry about other than your loss (and documents on the SD card).
[Xperia Play General] thorpe24:
Very good advice dvds I thank you. Unfortunately those methods havent worked. I will try plan b though
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
well the least you could do is put a poster where it was stolen and offer a reward.

Also ask if you can look at the security camera feeds if the location has cameras.

Makes sure you ask to check the camera as soon as possible they are usually deleted after a while.

Good luck
[Xperia Play General] Mobage:
Keep checking Craiglist in your local area? Some stolen merchandise end up there.
[Xperia Play General] vbulletinsux:
Getting the ESN on the lost list is a great step but if they work there too couldn't they take it off the list? Keep that ESN and keep up with ebay and craigslist. Thats mess up, gotta be some kinda low to take from a co worker. They had to know you were gonna report it lost, they stole a paper weight.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
If you have the box it has your serial # on it. Verizon has a record of your phones serial number also. They take it down when you activate it.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
Im on a personal mission to get bluetooth tethering with my blackberry to this tablet. (i wont be changing phones, its not an option, so please dont suggest it)

ive done just about all of the searching that can be done for this. and on my journey i have run into many deadends, but i have made small progress forward. im hopinh someone who knows bluetooth/programming can give some advice or assistance.

Heres what i have so far, two programs have given me hope, pdanet tablet and Q5 BT DUN

Pdanet tablet: ( i know its not set up to work this way, but im just stating what i have seen or tried so far) When i run pdanet on my blackberry, i am able to connect to pdanet tablet, my phones shows its connected, the tablet shows its connected, but there is no data transfer.

QT BT DUN: Possibly even a better chance of getting working. you can findit here http://android.gval.biz/

This app allows you to edit your own chat script. you can search for your phone, and BT channels available. it finds my phone and gives me its information it sees

when i finish setting it up,i go to connect and after about 40 secs i receive an error: "FAIL! PPP fail to connect"

i would love for any help i can get.

my final thing i have to say at the moment is, ive used my blackberry to tether to my iosdevice (which also at first glance seemed to be unable to tether via bluetooth) but a developer (who is unwilling to be any help, ive tried asking) has made an app that allows ANY phone to tether by bluetooth.

to me that gives me hope, but that means it can go the same route with android right? just needs a little programming love?

i am willing to donate to whomever can help me get this working, i dont have much, but i can give what im able to. Thank you.

Edit: im changing this to bluetooth and or usb tethering.
[Acer Iconia A500] intender:
Have you tried an app called nook color Bluetooth or something like that. Designed for that device but may work for you.

I think your problem may lie somewhere in one of your devices allowing multiple concurrent connections at the same time or maybe just not being setup to allow it. I know Android uses two different protocols for sending and receiving data, opp and ftp. It may not be enabling both protocols. I have the app blutooth file transfer before to transfer in both directions at the same time but that was sending files between two Android devices both running that app. Good luck getting it worked out.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
i just tried this app, it shows my phone in the list, and when i use the widget to turn it on my phone blinks once with the bluetooth connection like its connected then it drops. thank you for the help. i feel like im so close to getting something working, but im just missing something
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
While searching on Google today, I found out that pdanet Tablet has been updated to BETA 2. In it's description it says with it you can tether blackberrys to your tablet to make it work. However It says that the app is not compatible with my tablet (a500) and it wouldn't let me download. I know this sounds strange but you cannot find it by searching in the market, but what you can do is do a google search for "pdanet tablet beta2" and the first result is a link to it on the market. The android market also says that beta1 is obselete and that anyone using it should delete it.

I'm trying really hard to get my bold tethered to my tablet as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
this is great news! that means we are only that much closer. im curious as to why they say it doesnt spport a500 though?
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
The link is gone now. You can still search it on google, but when you click the link it takes you to the market and the market says the app isn't there anymore.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I don't know why Acer doesn't support it.

I am trying to tether with my iPhone 4.

I am able to do it by installing Virtuous Galaxy, tethering appears as a profile and you can simply connect.

No such luck in the Acer based roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Maybe it's because the A500 doesn't support it? :p

AFAIK, App developers have to mark their apps as compatible with OS versions... If they haven't marked it as such with the version your tablet is running, it will show as incompatible, even though it probably will work.

Try to download it on an android phone, if you can, then copy the APK over.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
Haha true, but ios doesnt support it either and it was worked around :)

I will try that. Right now i think junefabrics have pulled pdanet tablet 2 for a fix. So as soon as they rerelease it ill be getting a copy to try.

Edit: almost forgot, @chr0m, i flashed the VG rom to try for myself and had no luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:

[Acer Iconia A500] tim_h:
Hi, I have an Iconia A500 (stock HC 3.0.1) and a Motorola Milestone 2 (FroYo 2.2.2, rooted).

I installed PdaNet Tablet on the Milestone, extracted the APK and installed it on the A500. This worked just fine.

I start the server on the Milestone, have a bluetooth pairing between the A500 and the Milestone, and PdaNet Table on the A500 finds the Milestone (it tells me to execute "Step 2" and set up the VPN connection). On the Milestone, a message popped up whether I want to allow the A500 to connect to the Internet, which I allowed.

Unfortunately, I cannot get the VPN connection established. When I click "Connect" on the A500, it tries to connect for a while, then reports that the connection could not be established. I tried several times, but it simply does not work.

Anybody with more luck?
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
Pdanet tablet beta 2? Or beta 1?
[Acer Iconia A500] tim_h:
Sorry, forgot that detail: PdaNet Tablet Beta 2

I realize you are looking for a solution working with a non-android phone. But if it does not even work with an android phone ...
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
That might be why they pulled it right after releasing it.

Either way, Would you mind uploading so i can give it a try?
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
ive been able to manually install pdanet tab beta 2. This time when ever I select my phone (blackberry) it asks to pair and my phone shows its connected to a device (blue blinking light) and seems to stay connect unlike before. Only problem now, like Tim_h posted above when you move to step two (vpn: 127.0.0.1 setting like the previous version) it alerts you to please finish step one. Which as far as my phone is aware has been completed...

this may be why they pulled it from the market so prematurely. Hopefully they will release a beta 3 soon and have that problem fixed... I'm looking forward to it as this seems to be making some much needed progress.

Has anyone else found anything else worth looking into?
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
I'm right behind you with my BB curve 9330, same boat as you..... waitin for new beta.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
If you go to the market and look up pdanet tablet beta 1, it says in the "what's new" section that beta 2 will be released soon. I think all we can do now is wait for that problem to be solved and see if Beta 2 can be the answer we have all been looking for.

My Archos 70 (Android 2.2.1 tablet) will tether to my AT&T Blackberry 9700. Is there a way to copy the system files (etc) to a rooted A500?

Here are some screenshots from the Archos 70:
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
^ No. Completely different OS version, different kernel, different everything. Just do the wifi ad-hoc mod if your phone can't do infrastructure mode. It works fine and way better than crappy BT tethering.
[Acer Iconia A500] jknut:
So people have used a "wifi ad-hoc mod" to tether the A500 to a blackberry? Would you send a link to a thread with instructions? I couldn't find anything through searching.
[Acer Iconia A500] cyberma007:
I use the built in Bluetooth tether to my iPhone 4G and it works great.

I have tether-me installed on my iPhone.

the original Acer ROM does not have this option, but if you grab any other rom, they should all have it.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
As long as your BlackBerry is able to provide an proper wifi hotspot in ad-hoc mode, the following mod should work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060909&highlight=ad+hoc

If it provides a wifi hotspot in infrastructure mode, it should already work.

All depends on what your BB can do, really.

You'll need your A500 to be rooted to use the ad-hoc mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mar122999:
I use to follow XDA very regularly when I had my HTC Hero a year ago, and then followed another forum (can't remember the name) when I had my Samsung Moment. I remember both of those phones had the ability to use a RUU in case the worse happened. I believe the Samsung didn't use a RUU file, but it was similar in function. Anyhow, I was just wondering since I just got my Samsung Galaxy S 4g and would like to start rooting again, is there a way to revert back to factory in case I decide I no longer want to root or if the worse case scenario happens (boot loop, no boot, ...etc)? Having these factory firmware files made bricking a phone much less likely. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance!
