[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OperationIvy85:
Hi all, having a problem with my new Epic 4g Touch.

I rooted it, then after having some other problems, tried to flash back to stock via Odin. Not sure if I did something wrong, but in the middle of the flash, Odin had an error. Now the phone won't boot.. it goes straight to the [phone]....[!]....[computer] screen with the text "Firmware upgrade encountered." It goes to the same screen when I try to boot into recovery. It also goes to this screen when the phone is off and I plug it in (ie, there is no battery charging screen).

I can get into download mode, but I can't get my computer to recognize that the phone is plugged in. I have tried multiple computers, different USB ports, different cables, re-installing drivers on the computer, but no matter what I try, the computer never makes any indication that the phone is plugged in. Kies won't see it, Odin won't see it, nothing in device manager, no alert sound when plugging/unplugging, nothing.

I am afraid I have a soft brick on my hands and I might have to take it back to the Sprint store or send it to Samsung (used a USB jig to reset bin count to 0). Anyone have any idea how to get the computer to see it again so I can just try flashing it again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vindog4047:
SAME PROBLEM, PLEASE HELP, PLEASE. If you fixed yours tell me how.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Chris__B:
Anyone come up with successful suggestions to this issue? I think I'm now in the same boat after going back to stock. I can't get any computer/cable combination so see the device, which keeps me from using Odin to fix it. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I've gotten in that mode before. It does it whenever the phone has been opened in the special mode for updating (which is done by ODIN during the flash process and is a step beyond ODIN D/L mode), but that mode is not closed down properly. It'll do that even if you flash an unused partition like recovery.bin, so it has no bearing on whether your ROM is actually bricked or not. It is just the default behavior when the special flash mode wasn't close down properly.

USB jig restored functionality.

That is assuming you weren't flashing a GSM ROM by mistake.

Hi to all,

I have just officially Mango updated my LG Optimus 7 four days ago. Overall I'm very pleased with this new OS version, despite that in my country (Mexico) some services don't work yet (bing vision, artist art in lock screen, turn by turn navigation with bing maps app, etc.).

I started to think that WP 7.5 was almost perfect, until i discovered a 3G connection issue that didn't have before. Since yesterday I have noted that sometimes my 3G connection doesn't work after i turn it on: the 3G logo doesn't appear near to to the signal bars and, of course, i can not navigate in internet using internet explorer. I also found that this issue gets temporary fixed if i reboot the phone.

Using the search tool in this great forum, i've found that very few people had this same or similar issue , but it was before Mango update!. Since it appears that nobody got a solution at all (other than rebooting the phone or turning on-off airplane mode), i would like to know if anybody here have had this issue after Mango update and if there is a better solution than rebooting.

Thanks in advance for your help, have a nice day and keep enjoying this wonderful new OS.

P.S. Sorry for any writing misspell, English is not my native language :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] castrow:
Hi, I was in Mango before and now i have received the official update as well. I also saw that the Bing search page does not fit the screen and also does not contain the bing audio to identify songs. Does it happen to you as well? Regards and thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
reseat yr sim card if u have connection issues...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Coatl35:
Castrow,

The bing screen fits well on my phone, however, i don't have bing audio service too. I hope this feature (and others) to be available soon on our countries.

Magpir,

Thank you very much, i'll try your suggestion, maybe it's the sim card altough i never had this problem until i upgraded to Mango version.

I'll post again if this solution works.

Best regards,
[Windows Phone 7 General] ralex3000:
I had this issue in the past, until the NoDo Update was released!

After NoDo, ISSUE SOLVED! Internet connection outside Wifi perfect, and it managed perfectly. BBBUT

Now mango is launched! WTF! The problem is here again! After mango, the 3G connection is wooooooooorrse! Who else feel the same situation? Anyone that felt, could solve it somehow? It seems that drivers are not updated, I don't know. Please, don't say that it may be my Carrier! IT IS NOT! =)

Let's find together the solution guys!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Coatl35:
Hi ralex3000,

Let me tell you that i've followed the Magpir's suggestion and it has worked at least during a day. I haven't used the 3G connection very much but i can tell you that every time i turned it on, always had a clean and quick connection.

This is what i did:

1.- Turned off the phone and pulled out the sim card.

2.- Turned on the phone without the sim card. (Why?, eerr...i don't know!)

3.- Turned off the phone again and reinstalled the sim card.

4.- Finally, turned on the phone.

Please let us know if it worked for you. I'will update if anything else occurs (i hope not).

Regards
[Windows Phone 7 General] boredtoday:
i don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but:

when the phone's ringing, you can hang up by pressing the volume rocker up or down.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Coatl35:
Bad news guys, the issue appeared again, so reseating the sim card is not a solution.

I'll keep searching forward.

Boredtoday

I'll try to test the bug/feature that you are experiencing, it must be a feature, maybe we should go to the official wp7 page to learn more about it.

Best regards

[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
i found that by doing this the battery indicator act funny, before puling out thhe sim card i had like 9% battery, after turning on the phone without the sim, i had like 31% battery. WTF?...IS the sim card imposing a parasitic load on to the battery? like constantly searching??

inserted the sim card, now have 31% battery

I don't have the problem with the 3G connection on my LG Optimus 7, but other than mails and some random search I don't really use the data connection too often to assure that I don't have the problem.

When I had the same problem on my omnia 7 I solved changing my Network Operator and then resetting it. To do that Samsung has an app called Network Profile.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtecduck:
I am new to android development and I am writing an app for work and I need the app to be able to pull a specific version of sw into the app automatically. To give an example, on the Droid X the System Version shows 4.5.605.MB810.Verizon.en.US , which is the identifiable sw I need to populate in the app. I have tried all the options I could find for android.os.Build , Build.VERSION , and I have tried the telephony string SYSTEM_VERSION. These all bring in sw versions or information into the app, but not the one I am needing to show. I have tried to look on github to find some information and I am not having any luck. Can anyone please help me get this info to auto populate?

Hello!

I had LeeDroid on my HTC evo 3D, and today I just made reinstall of that ROM, and all of the sudden it started to "lagg"

I could just fast cross display with my fingers and he would spin all around, and now I need to hold and then cross slowly.

What problem could be?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Quick question here. After I flash my Galaxy SII with the CyanogenMod, if for some reason I want to go back to the previous rom that I backed up, do you always have to do a WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) before you flash the new rom?

Apologize for the noob question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dan40hands:
You don't HAVE to, but don't be surprised if you have random fc issues. Just use titanium backup to backup apps and restore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Great, thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Quick question: Don't have the necessary amount of post to post this in the following forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285823

When I got to apply the zip from the sdcard, I get the following error:

e: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Yesterday, I flashed the CLOCKWORKMOD-RECOVERY FOR GALAXY S II (AT&T) and rooted it. Then I installed Rom Manager, made a few backups, etc.

When I open Rom Manager, I do see the following:

Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5

Now, I believe this might be due to installing the ClockWorkMod in the Rom Manager, would this be the issue I'm facing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] striketrue:
I had this issue as well. I reverted back to stock and rooted/flashed CWM from the xda thread instead. ROM Manger version of CWM must be for international only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
So to clarify, I need to flash this back to stock and re-do the process correct?

Did you use the following thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286192
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Also, theirs a update.zip in the root of the sdcard. When I go to apply it, i get the same error message as above.

E: failed to verify whole-file signature and so on.

Do I need to apply this zip at all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Okay, was able to install the rom. I was doing it wrong. I needed to power off the device, then press Vol up and power. Some reason, getting into CWR that way seems to work, rather than when you boot into recovery from the Rom Manager app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] striketrue:
Yeah I'm pretty sure at this point ROM Manager is useless for us. I'm definitely going to avoid doing anything through RM until they have it set up for the ATT version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:
Dont use RM for CM7 for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'm surprised that worked. It should be VolUp + VolDn + Power.

Don't use ROM Manager. It caused nothing but problems on the Infuse, and is causing nothing but problems here. Use the CWM included in every custom kernel that has been posted here so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mastergrillo:
If install cm7 will it change the file system like it did on the captivate
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Just so I'm crystal clear, that means you need to power off your phone and do the Volume UP / Down and Press power to enter CWM correct?

Which brings up another point, according to this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285823

You have to press Vol Up and Power button. But for my AT&T Galaxy SII, i have to press both Vol Up/Down to get into it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5942marine:
Sorry, I meant to say both Vol Up and Down + Power.
[HTC EVO 3D] iamlex:
I woke up this morning, and my phone wasn't turning on. I thought it was dead and I put it to charge. I notice that the red light comes on for like 3 seconds then it goes off, I thought it was the cable so i used a diferent one, but still the same thing. I can turn on the phone for 30 seconds then it turns off again by it self. Now I dont know if I should take it to sprint (because I got Insurance) because my phone is rooted and I'm affaid they would say that happend because the root. what can i do?:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] ext109:
I had the same thing LOL. When its turned off, and you charge it, the led blinks a few times right? Just keep it on the charger, it is charging. It just goes into some special mode when turned off and charging. Idk what that mode is called, but I read something about it on xda :p. I was concerned about that when I had it too, but I just kept it on the charger and after some time it works again (not one minute though). To get out of the mode: remove and instert battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] iamlex:
I guess it was super dead that the light wasnt coming on when charging , THANKS! After a few minutes (10) charging with out the light, the phone came on by itself!
[HTC EVO 3D] ext109:
I already thought so, but with me it didn't boot by itself, I had to do that manually :S. I'm glad for you it works again though ;)
[Focus General] xflier:
Hi,

I tried to take a long HD video in a birthday party, and it got reboot and lost the video. I also reproduce the issue, and found out it happens every time. Samsung focus could only take few mins of HD video?

Is this a bug or just my phone's issue?

Appreciate your input!

I just updated to Mango for a couple of weeks.
[Focus General] momadine:
What happens if not in a birthday party?

:p , Just kidding.

This is not a bug as it has never happened to me.

Try to see if you have free space available before shooting as HD recording takes a lot of space for every 10 minutes could take up to 500 MB.
[Focus General] xflier:
space is not issue. I even tried factory reset/ format, and enlarge the reserved space in Zune. Nothing helped so far. I suspect it is because the phone is too hot after HD video taking. Not sure thou
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Well, even though Samsung and Google have delayed their event, Ice Cream Sandwich is around the corner and the funny thing is that still nothing has been confirmed of its features.

Looking forward to it on your Desire Z?

It'll be nice, but I'm sure not much of a change for day to day use for me. I'm more excited about getting it on my Nook Color.

You should put desire z and g2. But I just want it to be released already. Have you seen the new ics video on the supposed nexus prime?
[G2 and Desire Z General] rmcsc:
98% sure it won't be released for our phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
Definitely won't be released officially, but that's why we have CyanogenMod and other CM-derived ROMs :)

We all know it wont be released for our phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ashwinmudigonda:
I bought a Viewsonic gTablet and this was the same talk going on - No Honeycomb. Mods started to ban people whining about when HC would be ported to the gTab. I gave up hope and literally a month later, there was an alpha ROM and now there are 3-4 good HC ROMs out there. And I think Google didn't release the source code for it. So, I am sure we will get IS on our Zs!
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Well obviously... But most people on XDA aren't waiting for official OTA updates lol. Go go CM8!!

Well the issue there was no source code and probably a smaller community. It will be much easier when ICS source drops lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Shadow-Nexus:
Im more excited about all the cool roms the devs are going to make based off ICS!

im sure cyanogenmod 8 will be he BOMB!
[G2 and Desire Z General] C.Flat:
According to Koush on G+ it will be CM9. Makes sense because Honeycomb wasn't open source
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Makes sense I guess, but I would think since CM8 never existed they'd just do CM8 for ICS.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Yea that would be awesome regardless of the naming scheme. I have yet to flash CM7 but for ICS I would do it in a heartbeat lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Actually doesnt make sense but let the CM team do what they want....

In related news to CM, CM 7.1 final was released today :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
I would like to point out that there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that there will not be a 4.0 upgrade available for HTC VISION. Need I remind you all that there was an official upgrade to Android 2.2 for HTC SAPPHIRE/MAGIC32B made almost exactly ONE YEAR AGO? Yes, approximately the exact same time that HTC VISION was initially made available.

Also remember that the 32B was a 192 MB RAM device where only 97 MB was actually available to Linux. This significant upgrade from Android 1.6 to 2.2 required some MEMORY REDISTRIBUTION via new SPL to increase the available RAM to 112 MB. HTC VISION is not starved for RAM as the 32B was. HTC VISION has plenty of space left within the system partition (in fact on mine, there are 262 MB of free space on /system of over 400 total -- clearly intended to leave space for upgrades). Unlike the 32B, the specifications of Vision are far more than adequate, and even with a device as limited as 32B, they made the upgrade.

CM "team", as well as all the other rom cookers out there (yes, they are cookers, Android is written by Google, CM just cooks it and adds in a few goodies.) do a TERRIBLE job of versioning.​

I once suggested a much more sensible approach to versioning, which is used by many other downstream open source projects... but they threw a tantrum.

Versioning of Android ROMs should be as follows;

UPSTREAMNAME-UPSTREAMVERSION-DOWNSTREAMREVISION.DOWNSTREAMNAMEVERSION.ARCHITECTURE

Obviously ARCHITECTURE doesn't apply directly, but this could be replaced with DEVICE.

So.... CM7.1 for VISION should be versioned as

android-2.3.7-0.CM7.1.vision

With this, if they make a minor update (that they would normally call CM7.1.1), it would increment the DOWNSTREAMREVISION, so the new version would be android-2.3.7-1.CM7.1.vision.

I.e., the point here would be to keep the priority on the upstream version rather than downstream, because "android-2.3.7" is FAR more important than "CM7.1". Quite frankly, the "CM" version means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Haven't heard anything amazing about ICS so far :( wish I had though. Any solid awesome rumors about improvements or features?
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Not really.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
That was a long time ago. Now, forget it. They already gave up one update. They wont give us another.

Besides HTC is problably planning a new version of Sense for Ice Cream Sandwich.

Nothing. There is nothing confirmed for Ice Cream Sandwich at all. Google has had it tightly wrapped up.

The only thing we do know that it is Android 4.0

Besides that:

Facial recognition features, new APIs to reduce development fragmentation, a unification of phone and tablet UIs and its APIs.

Nothing else is confirmed with sources beside it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Significa:
Even if ICS does come out, it'll be a while before anyone ports it to the Desire Z/G2. I just see more and more people selling it on craigslist so developers might not be interested in continuing development for a outdated phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
So nothing new on the user end got it lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
I disagree. Porting it (straight from source, nothing fancy like CyanogenMod) wont take much. You might have a bug or two but nothing too big.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
They brought gingerbread to the G1. Our device has plenty of life to it. Go back to your rock that you lived under for so long. :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Considering CM7 is still in solid development for the OG Droid, I don't have any doubt that the DZ and G2 will have ICS development. It just hit 1 year old its far from ancient.

Yep you nailed it. Porting from AOSP and applying it to the DZ won't exactly be a chore.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
:D there's some stuff coming. Not sure what is and isn't. New interface, browser w/ full hardware acceleration, etc.

[G2 and Desire Z General] alcak4ever:
I totally agree on this. Cyanogenmod really did some amazing work for our beloved G1 (and other devices too). IMO when i wanna see which device is buy-able i simply go and check for official Cyanogenmod support for it. If it's there - device must be nice :D. No disrespect to other developers, they all do great work, but since my G1 days i kinda have great respect for CyMOD.

Anywayz, back to topic, ICS would be great on our Z's (G2's too). Kinda pitty we're not able to play with HC on it but hey - when (not if, but when) we get ICS we will flash overcompensate that loss. :p;) Thumbs up for all dev teams and keep up the good work.

Sounds like a no. But is Sense even needed now?
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
A basic CS rep at HTC doesn't know anything about what HTC as a company plans to do. That being said I highly doubt the DZ would ever get an update officially from HTC.

HTC always thinks Sense is needed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] walropodes:
I kinda liked some things about Sense (this may be because it was my first Android experience) but I'm not even running it right now anyways (I'm on MIUI) so I guess I wouldn't be heartbroken if there was no Sense ICS for the desirez.
