did you have their black tie protection warranty crap? because i took it to them and they refused to fix it. i had to send it in to samsung to get it repaired...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themapleboy:
So my power buttton started acting funny (running CM9 just flash teuv yesterday DOUBT that has anything to do with it but full disclosure) pressing it wouldn't turn off the screen (would bring up long press menu) only way to lock the screen was to gently tap it.

removed back plate, removed battery. q tip with a little rubbing alcohol, and cleaned/rubbed it into the power button. Seems to be working well now. anyone think i should send it into samsung anyways i may or may not be in warranty (within a week either way). Or is my issue most definitely not the same?

Had this happen to me a month ago. Took my phone to Carphone Warehouse who switched it for a new Nexus. Gone was the power button issue and the battery life issue!

Has the problem resurfaced after your fix?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obarlas:
Hi all;

If your power button is broken, and you ran out of luck in getting a replacement all hope is not dead! My power button was broke and it was impossible for me to wake my Galaxy S, so I drilled a little hole in the back cover by a Dremel drill and got the phone turn on by inserting a little piece of metal through the hole and touching the little contacts that can be seen in the photo. (can't send url's yet, so pls add http to the beginning of the links)

The only downside of this procedure is that you always have to carry some kind of a small piece of metal in your pocket in case of an emergency ;)

Has anyone been able to find a place to buy a replacement switch to fix it themselves? Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obarlas:
Yes, you can find many on ebay. The delivery time to Turkey is very long, and my need was very urgent, that's why I drilled the phone. Search for "Galaxy i9000 power button" on ebay.

Galaxy i9000 power button is the same with nexus s i9020?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent of Orange:
i thought they would be the same but when i took my nexus s apart the power and volume switches are tiny mirco switches. I have had a few i9000 apart and the power button is a different looking animal with a ribbon cable and a switch that sticks to part of the housing of the phone. if someone has gotten one post up a link to the switch please. have thought of desodering mine and taking it to the local electronic part store to see if they could match it up.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

ok broke out the meter and ohmed the switch to find out it was stuck on. so i thought it wouldnt hurt to break out the no flash and spray the bugger down. i sprayed it and clicked the switch with my finger. after quite a few clicks i tested again. it was open but every other push of the switch it seemed to stick. so out with the no flash again. more spraying and clicking. now it seems to be open every time i let off the switch. on a side note i was inspecting the switch and comparing it to the volume switches then back side of the power switch metal housing is actually bent some in. this may contribute to the sticking of the switch. I plan to put my sim in this phone and test for the next few days. will report back how it goes.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacob66:

This was very helpful. My power button works fine, but my ROM allows me to toggle my volume buttons as alternate power buttons, so why the hell not just in case? :D

very horrifying issue

hi,

i buyed the phone 2 days back....installed jelly bean throught OTA updates and after 24 hour power botton didnt worked and after sometime the phone didnt awake from sleep. after wiping ( setting restore ) all things were working and after that i rooted my phone and installed clockwork recovery. and after that the botton again stoped.....i again did the restore setting and after that it didnt bootup.... always hang on google. and when is enter into bootloader it becomes hang and cant go up and down by moving the volume up and down key...

then i visited the gafar market, karol bagh and there i got know that the bootloader is being damage and its very hard to fix that......i spoiled the phone in 3 day can imagine.....

can anybody there that how to repair the bootloader in nexus s........
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
This thread is probably crazy old, but it was the first thread that showed up when I did a search. There are lots of great suggestions in this thread. Another one for people to consider is using widgetlocker as a temporary button fix because you can enable easy wake and use the volume buttons to wake the phone. To fix the putting the phone into sleep mode issue, just download screen off and lock. That's my temporary fix. Hopefully I'll be able to get it fixed soon. Cheers

Power Button Not Working SGS4 Not Sleeping SOLVED

I realize this is not a thread for the SGS4 but my experience may be helpful to someone.

I was at my wits end with this brand new phone. Power button worked fine but would NOT put the phone to sleep. Nor would the phone sleep on its own. Wakelock checkers revealed nothing. Then, by pure luck, I did something with the Android SDK which brought up the logs... and Lo! and Behold! I saw this:

Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished

Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished

Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished

Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished

Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished

Now putting aside the fact that it was "Finding out whether" not "Checking if," this told me what was up.

What had happened was that I had deleted the boot animation files and not replaced them. I THOUGHT I had replaced them, but I had not. Ergo the constant checking thereof.

Check if your Wi-Fi is set to best battery setting if it is then it properly won't connect to the internet using Wi-Fi.

Try to change it to Best performance instead and see if it solves your problem.

So is it true the official OTA update to Gingerbread is here? Says connection failed"

So I hear the OTA update for Gingerbread for G2X is available. Well when I go into "about phone" and click the "software update check", it always searches on server and then eventually says "connection failed". I understand this is a know issue, but a lot of people are saying that they were able to update to gingerbread this way.

Right now I am running a stock G2X phone on Simple Mobile service. Does running on simple mobile have anything to do with it not updating OTA(over the air)? How can I update. I don't want to download a hacked up unofficial version of the Gingerbread. I want to do it the right way. Thank you.

Lg's software updater? From lg's website..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wakeboarder8156:
Don't use the LG tool, it bricks phones. Get to a spot with full bars and search for the update again. The connection is key.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
no it doesnt, if u have a newer reliable computer you are good to go just follow the instructions rite the first time and everything will go smooth , the whole process takes 10 minutes tops, and if ur with simple i dont think u are getting an ota from tmobile lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thekid5:
Can anyone else confirm that the ota update will not work because I'm using simple mobile? I was under the impression and was also told that simple mobil runs off T-Mobile. On the other hand, this is not the first time I've heard this, but I get a different answer everytime I call a T-Mobile store and ask. I'm also sure they don't like people that use simple mobile so of course. So can anyone confirm this with a decent explanation? Thank you.

And to the otherperson, wakeboarder, so I need full bars and it should work. Do you have simple mobile as well?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdkackley:
I think it sarni is right, if your not on the tmo network you won't get it via ota. Best bet is to use the lg update tool. That's how I did it and it was painless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thekid5:
Can someone please walk me through the manual update process. I have an Apple Mac Mini which is 6-9month old and a Dell Windows XP which is old as hell but still works decent. And also a few questions:

1) is this update an official legit gingerbread update

2) If the phone does become bricked, will LG repair since it is their update

3) Step by step instructions please, I just got my phone back from LG and don't want to f it up.

Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
The updater tool only works with windows. Also, it only works with phones that are not refurbed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g0dsgreen:
oh, that's right. :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Well step one would be to get ride of that apple junk. There is a reason that it doesnt work on apple because apple the corp[eration is a bunch of Asses and they dont make there stuff compatable with anyone else they think they are the only company out there that does this stuff. So I say good for LG for beating them at there own game and making there tool not compatable with apples junk. It would probally brick you phone anyway because it is not an Iphone. Once you do that you will be alot better off and your life will be easir since PCs are compatable with almost everything.

Then go to LGs website go to the mobile section go to support got to tmo p999dw or at this point it might say G2x there should be instructions for it on the site but instasll the mobile support tool them Make sure you install the drivers and then it will be smothsailing seeing as how you will have a fresh new PC. And yes the other Dude is right it just makes sence even if the other company uses tmos network it they only rent from them they would not have any control of OTA stuff TMO would not give them the rights to that for free. There customers are not TMOs so TMO does not care about them. As far As I know the LG update and the OTA are identical that is what I am told I am wondering that myself. The only thing that might be different and I really dought it is someone said that the OTA has the full 1080p and the LG update only shoots 720p. I'm not sure if that is true I also dont know if it is Just 1080p or 720p for both I think that the stock GB camera app only shoots 720p but I really dont know. So there you have it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] korenpenza:
I'm running G2X with gingerbread update on simple mobile as well and having issues with internet and MMS service. I'm using APN that I set up to work with Simple Mobile but it keeps switching back to the T-Mobile APN. And there is nothing I can do with that. So unless there is some kind of solution on that problem, do not update to Gingerbread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Simple Mobile is an MVNO of T-Mobile, correct? The problem is that their sim card uses T-Mobile's MCC and MNC. At boot up the phone looks at that and then sets the APNs accordingly. Since the phone was built for TMO it thinks that is what it should be. Solution is to set it and not turn your phone off. You can also edit the "apns-conf" file in /system/etc and put in settings for Simple Mobile. I believe that file will take precedence over other settings. You need to be rooted. After changing the file for Simple Mobile's APN settings select reset to default. If you don't know how to structure the file give me Simple's info and I'll make the file for you. Then just back up the old one, install the new one and see if it works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] korenpenza:
Reboot or not reboot, it is still switching to TMO apn. So as far as I understood I have to root the phone first, then edit "apns-conf" file?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yup. And no guarantee it will work but someone needs to try it so we know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] anush.isaac:
Kindly Let me know what are the info you need to make that file. I shall provide it to you.

You do exactly like simplemobile.com says BUT instead of creating new APN you just modify original one. Without rooting your phone it is impossible to do!

I've noticed the Xoom Honeycomb wallpaper found on the interwebs is terribly low quality. You can see gradient banding and pixelization. Its quite sad really since its such a cool image.

Anyway, I've redone the wallpaper to get rid of these artifacts. I will post 2 versions, one is the original size (1920x1408) and the other is formatted for the NC (1024x600).

Enjoy!;)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxietheboss:
I am currently using MIUI 1.7.29 Osimood with the Tiamat 1.04 kernel, and I am wondering what the best kernel is for battery life. I am also using the V6 supercharger ram script. I am running my CPU at 960mHz at the moment, using the smartass governer. I also undervolted using vipermod, 960MHz at 950mV.

My choice consists of the latest Pershoot, UmaroKernel 1.06 or Tiamat 1.04

What differences would I see between those kernels, are they noticeable for a regular user?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruciato:
Sorry man, but wehre do you find the vipermod for desire z? http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/faq.php it's not compatibile with desire z/g2....

Uh...what's wrong with the kernel it comes with? Can OC to 1.5GHz stock ya know. Battery life is great with it too. People always want to flash something weather it be a radio or a kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ostinq:
Isn't flashing stuff and trying new things basicly the point of this whole site?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalalandrus:
damn straight,

1) pershoot is a sense kernel? (i am proabably wrong but i have never tried this kernel)

2) umaro kernel i found had issues with wifi, high underclock freq (leading to poorer battery life), but fun if you have the time to tweak voltages and fast!

3) tiamat kernel i found had issues with sleep of death/random reboots on wakeup couldnt test it past that. (setcpu was set to screen off was: conservative 125min -345 max and would still crash)

if you are up for another kernel, i am now using this kernel (streamline5)

no voltage tweaking (pretweaked) but it has good batt, speedy and stable cant ask for much

http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php/6555-Streamline5-Nightly-CM7-Test-Kernel-2.6.35.13
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Pershoot is actually for

non-sense

roms. The downfall people have with it is lack of governors. Some don't mind, some want variety. I've had great experiences with Pershoot's kernel and it's the baseline that all others are compared to (not to mention the foundation of almost ALL G2/DZ kernels).

Umaro's just needs to have voltage tweaks done manually but on the plus side - keeping the voltages normal (not UV) allows some people to reach higher OC speeds. It keeps the processor from bottoming out due to insufficient voltage which can easily happen when you UV. The main issue is with the Greased lightening governor - it's new and still a bit buggy.

Tiamat 1.0.4 is outstanding. I can sit all day at 2+ GHz (not literally, see: Chernobyl). I personally have an issue with the interactive governor but other than that it's my favorite kernel (Umaro may take that soon, once greased lightening is perfected).

Basically you just need to try out a few and see which you like. There is no 'best'. Most kernels will work with any ROM (Sense being the only exception).

Bumping a thread that is relevant to my interests.

It's about time for me to jump ship from an outdated CM ROM and try something new like a MIUI ROM.

With that said, I'd like to read more opinions & experiences from people using the various Kernels AND how the latest radio (the one released today) is working for them. I'm just trying to get the optimal experience here :)

Speaking of MIUI would anyone mind telling me some differences between OsiMood's ROM compared to the official MIUI-US ROM (or even DarkSpadez ROM)?

Thanks a ton guys!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jandyman:
I downloaded the official rom . . .then ignored it downloaded osimood and iv been using it since. Osimood is a lighter rom, which is always a good thing, unwanted languages etc are removed for a smaller faster rom. Also he preinstalls tweaks like an adblocker and extended settings mod.

Kernal wise iv been looking for the same info as you but couldn't find it. So I eneded up trying them all:

- Eugenes streamline5 is a nice kernal, preundervolted. Only probly is its not being updated so will become redundant.

-Tiamats kernal allows over clock to 2ghz and seems to support higher overclocks stably where other kernals can't. Except battery life has decreased with recent kernals

-Umarokernal this is the kernal iv come back to twice and am still on. It allows overclock to 1.9ghz and is kept updated by umaro. Performance per frequency seems as good if not better than most and osimoods miui runs smooth with this kernal on 800ghz with scarey governer (which saves battery) Another plus for me with this kernal is the scarey governer which for me definatly provides the best performance per battery ratio.
