[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sUpErwHoO:
google picks the companies to make their phones (nexus one[htc], nexus s [sam] and the much awaited nexus prime[sam])

google picking samsung is a smart move because sam devices are at the moment the 2nd most sold devices in the world 2nd to the ios devices, so for a company trying to market their os what could be better??

as for motorola being taken over by google, it doesnt mean that google employees are going to sit and work their android magic for us (unfortunately)

even though i still hope that one fine day i wake up to see an ics/ jellybean update from moto! :P

isnt that why we use 2ndit and install a custom recovery?? sorry noob question lol

or in simpler terms what exactly does the boot loader do??

Hi,

I have a locked Omnia 7 on Orange. I have an OS version of 7392. I was expecting to get the mango update but still Zune says my phone is up to date.

Has anyone in the UK received Mango for their Omnia 7 on the Orange network?

Thanks for your help

Yeh - Both me and my sister got it on Orange about 2 weeks ago. It's random though as far as i can tell wheteher you are in the early rounds or not. Even if your carrier has approved it.

Do you know how long i should be waiting for the update?

if this does work, then great, but, you could try to package the parcel a little better, how about adding an explanation detailing exacting what this update should do and under what conditions (from what ROM and hboot versions it's safe to run) along with where you actually got it from or did you create it on your own?

Some guy posted the link so i took that and some people tested it out and said it was Safe, as you can see in one of my other threads about this update! So i just decided to make a guide of what to do and see if it helps, it will probably get rid of your root, but that is why i said only people with unrooted devices and s-on.

and it only boots to recovery :S

what can i do to reset it all the way to factory settings as if its never been used ?

any help is much appreciated

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
is it a rootable version?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
First of all, I don't understand this new movement of being as vague as possible to keep the rest of us guessing. Can you imagine going to the doctor and then tell the doctor "I am sick, I won't tell you anything else, try to guess what's wrong with me!"?

First of all, do you have cwm installed? When you say only boots into recovery, which one? What does the screen look like? what options do you have?

But in short, it sounds like you got an apx bootloop, which is really bad. I've worked on a number of tegra 2 tablets with apx bootloop. Half of these are not recoverable. And no one have figured out what causes apx bootloop.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
why you so mean? be nice man
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
APX Boot loop? Ive never heard of that but wouldnt that mean it would turn on then turn off without getting to recovery? I thought if you could get to recovery you could still hook it up and use nvflash to re write the memory?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I am nice. How else am I going to tell people to stop being so vague?

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

That's the scary thing about permanent apx bootloop. No amount of flashing or nvflashing will fix it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
I don't think that was mean. People need to provide more information if they want someone to help them. Anyways he sounds like he has experience with something similar so he really IS trying to help :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icow:
firstly i apologise for being so vague...

Yes it is routable version

i dual booted linux on it if that helps ? which i know uses apx

strange thing is if i install a rom it will boot up to the rom fine until i turn off the transformer and try to turn it back on again where the power button does nothing ?

maybe i didn't uninstall linux correctly ? how would i go about doing this ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
So if it goes into apx boot loop you would need to do a factory force flash which only asus can do and woulldnt because you have voided your warrenty that sucks !!!!!

Is there anyway we could develope something similar to what they have to force flash in worst case senarios or is it that bad ????

Also back to original question did you use the uninstall linux or the uninstall linux and blobs be gone because right there could be your whole problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Bad news for you. You are in permanent apx bootloop. In which case, you are screwed. Perhaps someone else who have dealt with permanent apx bootloop have figured out a way to fix it. I have not. And I've dealt with several such weird creatures.

Here is what you will do if no one else can help you.

Contact asus and tell them that your transformer has stopped turning on and get an RMA. Do not tell you them you have rooted it and other things. Just tell them one day it stopped turning on.

Nvflash back to stock. Boot it up once. Then turn off your transformer and try to boot up again. At this point, you are back in permanent apx bootloop. Send it in. After asus people play with it for a while, chances are they will send you a new device. This is the same advice I gave to a couple people, and at least one of them had a new device from asus.

If you are still within return period from whoever you bought this from, exchange it for another one.

Permanent apx bootloop is weird. There's been much discussion among those of us who have dealt with this strange phenomenon. No one I know of have been able to figure out a definate way to bring it out of this state. The successes I mentioned were done by doing random things to them.

Curious, how did you manage to get it into permanent apx bootloop? I'm still investigating this phenomenon. Can you be as specific as you can? So far, there seems to be no pattern whatsoever. Some people have described it as just waking up one morning and boom apx bootloop. Some people brought it to this state while trying to root. Some did this while using rom manager. Etc.

All tegra 2 devices are susceptible to permanent apx bootloop. I'm sure asus is aware of this.

---------- Post added at 01:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

That's why we call it permanent apx bootloop. It goes straight into apx mode instead of going through the normal booting process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Can one get into a permanent apx bootloop even if the tf was never put into apx mode or is it one of those things that just happened?

Hey guys , i'm from malaysia and it seems that my galaxy S2 is not running on the spec that i have been seeing on the net.

according to gsmarena, it is suppose to be:-

Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP GPU, Exynos chipset

but what i found on my s2 from Quadrant Standard is a

dual core 1.2 (min freq 300 max 1.2) Arm v7 Processor rev3 (v71)

the board seems to be the omap4sdp

and importantly it iis NOT the mali 400mp Gpu but it is the

PowerVR SGX540 open GL ES-CM 1.1 version.

Does anyone has this kind of spec? is it right ? or does different country might have different specs?

I would need some answer and explanation cause i couldnt find a reason why the spec of my s2 is diff as from the internet.

(I went to Comsat bcoz my W8 stucked at SE word)

Maybe they do totally factory reset or something else, I tried with SEUS, and SEPC (this SEUS and SEPC I only done 3times then I can't restore or settle my W8 using this thing anymore.)

Tried with other Computer or laptop still ca't fix my problem

Then B4 I pay money to other dealer I went to Comsat (the company provide warranty)

:D(now I can restore my backup files):D

OK now back to main problem here!!

Good new for we all

Let try this (found by myself):cool:

But we need someone to share....

share what??

share backup file

that mean when you do a backup (this is what we need..)

then share with user who can't install or flash beauty rom

so we need to open new thread to share backup file for ROM

Little bit BZ rite now and Slow internet connection..

I promise I'll upload and shared my 2 backup files latter when I working on night shift (Bcoz Internet very fast at my office)

2-GingerDX V17

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharaka:
This getting stuck at the logo happened to me as well. Looks like you need to plug the phone to Flashtool and flash a generic w8 firmware.

as for the CM7's, has anyone of you tried to install the Gingerbread ROM AFTER flashing Floyo? What is the error message that pops up?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus22:
i tried it, nothing happened, the installation was successful for me
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharaka:
Why dont you try the flashtool thingy.? But I dont know whether the firmware for w8 still exist!

Anyways, you should be able to flash a X8 firmware and start from scratch, and then re-install the ROMs you want.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Okay, a friend wants to buy my Vibrant from me and I am actually happy with it except for lack of any decent options to move from 2.2.x without losing battery life/gps (that's a different forum's discussion)..

So, I don't want to spend a LOT but I don't want a dog of a phone either. I have some specific questions on the G2X...

1) CM7/MIUI: Are they *100%* functional? As in, no "but" or "except" in the list. On the Vibrant, for example, on CM7, you get bad battery life, limping GPS and broken 911 calling. Is CM7 a viable option on the G2X for a daily driver? I am personally tired of seeing threads on various phones I've had in the past that said "100% functional" but when you get to using it, turns out it's not.

2) LG Support -vs- 3rd party. I am *not* asking if LG is going to release ICS. What I am asking is, will the dev community be dependent on LG's release to be able to properly support ICS in the future? Ie, again, on the Vibrant, CM7 is broken because Samsung never released a GB rom for the Vibrant and thus no kernel source. Is this going to be a problem on the G2X if LG doesn't release ICS?

I really don't want to spend the extra $100 it will cost me for a Sensation 4G.... I'm just not sure, basically, what to expect of 3rd party and specifically AOSP/CM7 support for the G2X in the future...

Input?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
There will never be a perfect rom, ether gps, wifi, data, bluetooth, something will not work as it should, so if you want a "100% no buts, long lasting perfect phone" get one of the Motorola razr v3 or one of those flip phones from back then.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
1. No ROM out for the G2x is perfect consider LG's work was far from perfect and what we have is much improved, but still a work in progress. Do we occasionally have APN issues (I never have, but as a community, yes) or sleep of deaths (Funny you mention, Sensation gets them too), yes but they're few and far between and there is work being done to fix them.

2. Because CM and a few others build straight from source, at this point it shouldn't matter if LG makes an ICS build or not. Maybe for a few things, like AD2P function, but otherwise, I'm not concerned.

I have a lot of friends who own Sensations, and I still think I made the better purchase in the G2x.

I came from a Vibrant and I'm so thankful I chose this phone. It feels better in the hand, it's faster, CM7 works better, the GPS works and the HDMI output is really nice. I'm iffy on buying a Samsung again after having the Vibrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Besides the fact that I scratched the screen 2 days after I got it, and the ICS uncertainty, I do like it a lot. I especially like the price T-Mobile is running it at since I'm on the Value plan and had to pay full price.

It does seem that the modder community for this phone is a bit smaller than the Vibrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] creepinm3:
I have aa Vibrant and G2x. Use both daily with CM7 must say my vibrant last just as long as my G2x (13 hours) that's my average day any way. But I do feel the G2x is a worthy upgrade from the Vibrant, I do want Sense again but right now I love G2x

[TIP/TRICK] Stop Stock Gallery From Creating .thumbnails Folder! Save SD Card Space!

First off, I'll start by saying: "I am not responsible if you brick your phone! Always make a nandroid backup before using my steps/messing with Autostarts! (It's a very powerful application!)"

If you use a 3rd party gallery app (Like QuickPic, my personal favorite...) - You are probably tired of wasting over 100mb of space on your SD card... (And waiting a long time for booting up as well...) I had no need for the /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails folder taking up space on my SD card, so this is how to disable the stock Gallery app from doing so!

I researched a little on how to accomplish this and came up with little information, so I thought I'd share:

What you'll need:

1.) Autostarts app (I used: Version 1.7.0)

---

Steps/Directions:

1.) Run Autostarts

2.) Look for these entries: Media ejecting/mounted

3.) Choose either entry (ONLY CHOOSE ONE, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH! Choosing one entry will disable both entries in Media ejecting AND Media mounted!) :)

4.) Click on BootReceiver

5.) Choose Disable (A popup will show saying "This is a system app, are you sure? etc.)

6.) Done! Reboot. On boot, go to /sdcard/DCIM/ and look inside for the usual .thumbnails folder, it should be contained with a few (SMALL) files now!

Note: (Make sure you disable the entry BootReceiver ONCE, it should "strikeout" (as in: draw a line through) the entry BootReceiver, to show it has been disabled on boot.) - zmag
[EVO 4G General] zmag:
Hmm, seems I just looked in my folder and I saw the darn .thumbnails file again... If anyone knows how to disable the stock Gallery app from wasting boot time & sd space; PLEASE TELL ME!!! - zmag
[EVO 4G General] zmag:
Well, it looks like this is not a big issue for anyone out there - but it still annoys me.

I have since "frozen" the stock Camera and Gallery apps with Titanium Backup Pro, and still; no luck.

Now, granted when I reboot my phone and look in my DCIM folder it doesn't seem to be creating the .thumbnails folder 100% of the time. But the folder is still being created somehow, and my only guess is from a third-party app (and I can't seem to pinpoint which one) but I'm gonna test to find out which and post my results...

I wish someone out there could give me some input, I've been talking to myself here for too long. :p - zmag
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
This isn't the same, but you can create a filetype named '.nomedia' and place it at the root of the folder where you want and it will stop displaying the thumbnails in the gallery app.

http://smartadopter.wordpress.com/2...mbnails-showing-in-the-android-photo-gallery/
[EVO 4G General] hewillmakehell:
OK I believe I may have found the possible solution to this problem.

I was searching around on how to fix this problem as well, and tried a few things myself and believe I have found a solution, so I had to sign up for xda to share with everyone else. So please be gentle as this is my first post, although im a long time lurker.

I also got rid of the stock gallery (uninstalled with Titanium Backup) and now use Quick Pic. although I have removed the stock gallery it still builds that 60mb+ thumbnails directory on my SDcard. I was using SD Maid to delete it but it gets annoying that it kept reappearing even after the uninstall of stock gallery.

Now to start fixing,

I realized it was actually a large single file itself named ".thumbdata3-1967290299" in "sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/" that was taking up the 60mb+ , the smaller individual thumbnails Quick Pic created only added up to a 1mb or so.

So what I did was I just grabbed a random useless file from my SD card I didn't need anymore (an alarm clock plus backup .bak file, but I would assume the *new file" option in root explorer would do the same) and I renamed the unneeded file the same name as the file in /.thumbdata/ (the the .thumbdata3-19672902099).

Now I had a .thumbdata file that was only 1.75kb and just simply moved it to the sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/ folder and replaced the 60mb .thumbdata file with the smaller one.

After a few restarts of my phone, opening and browsing Quick Pic, checking my thumbnail size a few times with both SD Maid and Root Explore - I now have a much smaller 1.75kb file instead of the old 60mb file.

Hopefully this well help some of you out and solve your problem as well, as far as I can tell it is no longer making that thumbnail file expand so large on my phone.

[EVO 4G General] whitebreadstyle:
i've tried both your copied file trick and making a new file with root explorer, both to no avail. ".thumbdata3--1967290299" always reverts to its old size if any app associated with the gallery is opened.

has yours really stopped reappearing?

i can't figure out where the large thumbnail data is stored, but it must be in the system somewhere...
