The problem is camera app won't open.

It gives you black screen at the first time. and displays the warning "cannot connect to camera" when you reopen it. There are company problem such as the battery dies very quickly.

Here is the solution:

Posted 10 March 2011 - 01:46 PM

I found that everytime I used an app that accessed the camera, the app would crash and the camera became undetectable. Turns out the camera focus had somehow jammed and caused the apps to crash when autofocusing (I never heard the tell tale clicking). I sorted it by rapping the phone off a hard surface to "unjam" the camera. probably not the most elegant of solutions but worked for me.... "

In my case, it works!!! know your phone on wood table would be fine.

[HTC Sensation] TheGeorgiaSwagger:
When I put in the new chichitec battery, should I let it charge to 100 percent before turning the phone off, or can I calibrate it just like I would a normal battery i.e charging to 100 and deleting batterystat.bin and letting it drain fully? I just want ot make sure it gets its 100 percent charge.

Thanks in advance,

Charge to 100%, wipe batt stats, use it.

I try to never ever let it drain fully, it isn't healthy for the battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Defaultsound:
Hello,

Recently I got a Samsung Galaxy S2, although I bought it in China. So the firmware I have on it (ZCKG4) is the default firmware giving me Chinese apps and localized settings.

This shouldn't be a problem, although I can't put in Google accounts so, I figured I need to change the firmware some how.

First off is this possible?

If so how?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Just download any firmware and flash it via Odin, simple. You can get the firmwares from here,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

OR

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

I just tried to update my ZCKG4 firmware to XWKF3 but with no luck. The Chinese version seems to lock-up if you do this. You will get a brick every time. I managed to get back to ZNKG5 (no ZCKG4 available).

How to get around this? Will rooting help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
It doesn't brick, it just boot loops. This is normal.

Normally when you crossflash to another firmware, it gets stuck on the Samsung Logo, and loops.

If you are using stock firmware of another country. Just do the following.

1) Turn off the phone

2) Goto Recovery mode (Power + Volume Up + Home)

3) In SAMSUNG's recovery, factory reset it. (Wipe DATA+CACHE)

4) Reboot.

If should work after that.

If you are using 3rd party kernel, which has Clockwork Recovery built in, you cannot use that to erase userdata+cache to factory reset as it will cause boot loop again.

Some Advise:

Always make sure your computer is not having problems before flashing. Run memtest86 to make sure RAM data is not getting corrupted.

Instead of downloading stock ROM from forums, you can download official stock rom using fus downloader

When using ODIN, never repartition, unless you know what it is for.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Defaultsound:
Hello,

Thanks for the replies, although I am still having trouble.

So I downloaded another firmware and used Odin to install it. Although each time it arrives at failure and either makes the device become corrupted (Although it can be fixed by rooting it) or nothing happens.

So I've found I can root the device fine, although every time I attempt to install another firmware nothing happens and I can't install it.

I've been looking on the forums and found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192575 and apparently the Chinese SGS2 firmware uses a different format?

Could someone confirm this as at the moment I'm pulling hair out by the minute trying to get the Android Market to appear as well as be able to put in my Google Account details.

Please help

Thanks.

Hi

any help in this case?

i have same problem and do not know how to solve it.

BR/Artur
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewee133:
DUDE!!!

I think i got some good news.

I have the same problem with my new S2 bought in China, no Android market. I've been searching all around the web to try to fix it.

It is still not working for me, but i got a little bit farther though.

I find the hint here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351283

So what i did and what you can try is:

1) Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk

This seems to be the issue, as when you install it you can see the permissions Google requires, and pretty much says the can access ALL the data in your phone. (It would explain the censorship)

2) Install Android Market with any .apk you can find

3) Launch Android Market

The change for me is i can now input my account login. But it still fails connecting to google to actually login. Maybe because i'm still in china and it blocks the connection.

Could any one try this outside china and tell me if it works?

Cheers
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faideelah:
I recently bought a used Nook Color online and it came with Phiremod 6.3 installed. The main concern for me is the audio. I use a pair of sensitive IEMs and the hiss from the headphone jack is crazy loud.

I read that Nook Tweaks could solve this problem, but it turns out that Nook Tweaks doesn't support my version. This leads to my current question.

How would I go from Phiremod to the CM7 nightly builds? I have read from a thread that I must start from scratch, but I do not know where to begin. I have never rooted an Android product before. In fact, the Nook Color is my first Android product. I have knowledge of jailbreaking iOS products, but that's about it.

Do I simply follow this guide? Link

I am backing up my apps with TitaniumBackup at the moment. What else would I need to back up to be safe?

TL;DR

1. Do I follow thisguide to go from Phiremod to CM7 Nightly?

2. What programs besides TitaniumBackup should I use to back up my current data on my Nook?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faideelah:
Daily bump. If no replies, I'll just try it out for myself
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
You didn't mention if you were running phiremod on Emmc, or your SD card. If it is on emmc then just download cm7, and go into recovery . Wipe data, cache, and dalvic cache. Flash cm7, flash Google apps, flash kernel if you want, and reboot. Hope that helps.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faideelah:
Yeah, it was on emmc. I successfully upgraded to Nightly! Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Divine_Madcat:
Sadly, its too late now, but i will mention that had you had any programs/data you wanted on there, the "Wipe Data" step is fully unneeded, and only results you wasting time re-installing everything. Phiremod IS CM7, with some different skinning. Flashing over Phire is the same as flashing any nightly; wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash, good to go.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faideelah:
It didn't take me too long to reinstall everything. I just restored it through TitaniumBackup which took about 5 minutes. My Nook was still fairly new so I didn't have much on it. Thanks for that bit of information though :D

2>I think this thread should be closed

3>@crucitti : you should have posted this in the "Q&A" or in the "General" section.Anyway, just use xRecovery to flash the GDX update. No need to flash stock again. After, do a full wipe (and my advice would be format the sdcard and wipe dalvik cache & battery stats to be sure).

so why you make this tread on android development?

if you have something to ask why dont you ask on the original tread there's alot of people will give you feedback???

[Motorola Photon 4G] brobin111:
Are you working from the same folder that contains the extracted adb files?

Have you turned USB debugging on in the MoPho?

There should be a total of 4 files in the C:\root folder you created:

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

photon-torpedo.tar

Once you have that follow the instructions in post #165 above.

Anyway my problem is that now im trying to root the update I flashed and its not working. I made sure usb debugging is on. Its the last to lines that give problems. The photon-torpedo.tar seems to push to /data/tmp fine but then trying to do the photon-torpedo.sh and the command says something about invalid location. Any ideas?

Edit: I got it, i had to add the /data/tmp/install-su.sh at the end. I guess im kinda slow after some beers and tuacca bombs.

Edit 2: get all the files together then make the c:root folder and follow the steps. Then enter just the circled lines of text from post 165.

You can do this root through the phone itself using the terminal, no need for pc ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
Technically speaking, no you don't. As long as you can land the file onto the phone by some means it doesn't require adb.

All adb shell does is open a shell session on the phone, which is functionally equivalent to a terminal emulator session. I installed sshdroid and used an ssh client to do the work.

But the people writing the procedures are writing to a common element rather than documenting all the various ways this could be accomplished and one that they know works.
