[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sillumjai:
My phone is currently unable to turn on. I've tried to turn it on via download/recovery mode but that doesn't work either. I've also tried using the USB Jig but that does nothing. The battery works fine, since when I put it into another SGS2 their is plenty of charge.

My phone is rooted, so how can I put the Samsung ROM back onto the phone before I send it off for warranty?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So just to clarify, your phone doesn't turn on, doesn't go into recovery or download mode and you want to know how to put a stock ROM on it? :rolleyes:

Think about it for a minute.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sillumjai:
I didn't think there was a way, but maybe there is another trick i don't know about?

Anyone else had a similar problem before and was able to turn there phone back on?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Net.silb:
I believe your phone is 'bricked', sorry mate get a new phone.
[HTC Sensation] ibra88:
any body has noticed that ,even the amaze cam !! before flashing a castum rom my cam was so perfect ! but now it kinda suck and not like before !!

anybody had a same problem !?
[HTC Sensation] :
Well, the Sense camera is way better than AOSP, but I've never seen anyone have issues with the amaze one. I also heard there's a V7 and a V8, the V8 version is apparently better.
[HTC Sensation] ibra88:
and how to know if mine is v7 or v8 ?!
[HTC Sensation] :
just flash v8 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295390 :)
[HTC Sensation] ibra88:
after flashing this mod...the cam freezes after a shot !

note : i flashed the stock kernal first as said !
[Android Themes] :
I was able to very easily modify the Honeycream theme since it was merely a swapping of images. I wanted to do a similar modification to the CyanbreadX theme. The CyanbreadX com_android_systemui.xml doesn't call for the substitution of the Noticification Power Widget images however. I copied that part of the .xml from the Honeycream one and pasted it in.

No success however, would get FC's after I had applied the theme. All images were named properly. In case you can't tell, I'm a newbie f-stick.

So I would like to know how to edit the CyanbreadX .xml to insert the images I would like. If someone has an already modded CyanbreadX .xml all the better, I can compare it to the original, and both of my failed attempts.

To make myself feel better, here was my success with the uber easy mod to the Honeycream theme (notif. power widget images and background-removed the Bee):
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Silvercar:
I am no dev. nor am I computer or phone expert, but a lot of people have had problems with IMEI number, loss of signal, and SIM card not detected after flashing a ROM. All i did was remove the battery for 5 minutes (maybe 10) or so, not 1 or 2 minutes, and thats it, fixed my problem. So instead of flashing 10 different things and sending phones back i would try the battery first, could save some headaches.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
I believe at times it could be related to phone.apk also... I noticed last night when I accidentally left it out of my cwm pkg when I was testing stuff had no base band and my imei disappeared again.... Flashed just phone.apk and it was back to normal O.o repeated it a few times because it was weird lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Silvercar:
Tehgyb, thanks for the info. It's nice to have simple solutions to try first.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Np man, just sharing my odd experience from last night hahaha

(Working on a themed phone apk, and forgot to put the apk in my flash file lol)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pabent:
Pull the battery !?!?!

This is VERY common! Is there a more permanent fix besides pulling the battery for 10-15 min?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Yes. Make a copy of your efs folder. I keep a copy on my external sdcard and PC...doing that saved me two weeks ago.

If your IMEI gets messed up then you can just replace your "bad" efs folder with your backup. What I did after replacing mine was power the phone off then power it back on. I didn't reboot using the power menu mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Chaosin1983:
Hey Jerry D, how'd you restore your efs folder? I can't even find the folder on my Gnexus?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
don't know if Gnex is the same as glx4g (as you're in wrong forum for Gnex, too) but on glx4g, you have to use some explorer with root permission (like Root Explorer for e.g) to view root folders and you can see efs folder there ^^ and to restore, just copy & paste I think (or am I missing anything?)
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
I seem to have a dead pixel in my camera which not only shows up in the camera's viewfinder, but also is present in the actual pictures once they're taken and saved. The screen itself is fine and after doing some reading online I've found that some digital cameras have an option to "clean" the camera sensor but I cannot seem to be able to find an app that will do that. Does anyone know of a fix for something like this?

(edited for clarification)
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
The only dead pixel apps in the market seem to be for finding those in the screen itself, nothing for the camera.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I have this problem too black smudges show up on the screen and pictures when i use the camera.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Clean your lens.

GreenMunky-has this happened before or is it a new problem?
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
Kvswim- never happened before. The last picture I had taken and saved in my gallery was on 11/17 and there was no dead pixel then. But every time I open the camera, Goggles, or any camera app at all the dead pixel is in the same spot. It's tiny but you can zoom in on it on any picture that I take.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
How would I do that? There is nothing on the very outside plastic covering. Either there is something on the sensor itself or it contains dead pixels.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lane32x:
Yeah. Stuck pixel fixers work on the principle that a pixel isn't actually dead, but simply stuck. some actually die and you can't fix them. (we're talking about screens, not sensors). When a pixel gets stuck on a screen, you can keep trying to tell the pixel to shift thousands of times per minute and sometimes it will unstick it, like trying to open a rusty door.

Now on the pixel side, there isn't really a way to force it to start capturing light again and filtering the way it should. I know that the Canon Hack software/firmware for canon cameras have dead-pixel-finders so that you can compensate for the dead pixels, (via filtering in software) and you might be able to find something similar for Android, but it seems doubtful to find this for the phones.

sorry dude. Like they said, you might try cleaning the lens intricately. It could be something that is stuck right there in front.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rami98:
I have the exact same problem. Three black smudges that are there and show up in every camera app, the viewfinder and even after the pictures are saved. It wasn't happening up until before a month or two ago. The smudges are almost translucent because i can almost see a bit of light coming through them so they might not be the lens. Never seen this happen before on any camera. I even tried cleaning it off very well but that doesn't fix it. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
Just called VZW Tech Support this afternoon... they're overnight shipping me a new Charge which should be here tomorrow afternoon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mohit1141416:
same problem

I am also having the same problem.

The pixels are dead and showing a black thick line which destroys the pics.

First I thought that it may be dirt so I cleaned the camera but nothing happened I then realised that the line is not changing with focus or else its intensity should change with focus also when I zoom the pic its size also increases and looks very odd.

By viewing it, it is clear that its not dirt but the pixels are dead.

Pls help me I am a photographer and I only have my android phone as my camera..

It will destroy my photos.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Martymaze:
i also have problem with my phone, im not sure if it's a dead pixel.

it only shows when im using the camera i can see red dot when i take picture in black or any dark background. it really annoys me. please i need help . can i still fix it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Memoyyy:
I had that problem with my motoe6plus. Ir seems that the default software for the camera doesnt force the potencial of the camera itself.(thats what i think) so it fixed with the 'open camera' app. IT waS verry irritating for me so i hope youll fondo a solution

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sl0ttedpig:
It's quite a nice app (I like the bounce effect!), but some of the sections are not functional on the KF probably due to it being a heavily customized ROM, and also it only lists 11 of my applications?!

I've only played with it for a short time, so there might be some settings that need to be tweaked.

I'll be plugging in my CM7'd Droid Inc shortly to see how that looks as a comparison!

Thanks for posting! :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
I think you have to enable it to show system apps to see more than the 11 you are seeing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] madiaz3:
I just downloaded this today and am seeing the same problem. I think it is not used to the apps being located in the sd directory even though it isn't a true sd directory so it is not looking there.

Though I feel somewhat competent with regular ADB I would love for a fix for this program with regard to the Kindle fire app directory to come out. It's really neat, especially the large screenshot feature.

So i have an att xperia play and when I first got it i flashed the r800i generic and rooted. No big problems there but i dont have the 4g icon that i was able to see for the few hours that i had the phone and it wasn't rooted. I just have the nagging feeling that im not using the att network to it's full potential. That and im not happy that i can't bill apps to my account without the at firmware. Can i download different operator settings or flash to the north American generic to get full 4g with the icon again?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
If you're worried you're not getting 4G speeds, try running the app "speedtest.net mobile" and it'll tell you what speed you're getting. Then just compare that to your normal 4G speed and you'll know if you're still getting 4G or not

[TouchPad General] Dragoon0309:
Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with the WIFI Connectivity. It connects to my network, i can browse for a while and use it, and then it drops, disconnect and I have to manually reconnect it myself. I'm using webOS 3.0.4, but this also happens in android Alpha 3 CM7.

is there anything i can do to fix this? it also happens while watching videos, it stops loading the video every couple minutes.
[TouchPad General] Tykin:
Samething happened to me while running Alpha 2. The solution I saw on a different forum was to change the channel of my wifi router. Apparently, channel 4 or 6 produces the best results. I was on channel 11 and I got frequent dropouts. I switched to channel 6 and haven't had a disconnect since.

Edit: if anyone can tell me why this works, I'd be much obliged.
[TouchPad General] 1337rice:
+1

I was on Channel 11 and Wi-Fi didn't work quite well.

At first I thought it was because of CM7...when I switched to Xron's version, still had the same thing since its based on CM7.

What I mean by "didn't work well" was if I were to switch the Wi-Fi off, and turn it back on...it wouldn't re-connect...it would show "connecting", then "disconnected", and repeat. So I could not turn off my Wi-Fi at all, which didn't really matter to me anyways...

However, when I switched to Channel 4 on Wi-Fi, it allowed me the Wi-Fi on and off. I have tested this more than enough times and it works fine.
[TouchPad General] vampirexhunter:
What Kind of router you use?

I have a Linksys Wireless G with WRT firmware, my touchpad never drops. and on channel 7, I guess not all of us are affected. But i can't connect to my friend's wireless N router tho
[TouchPad General] 1337rice:
I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware.

Right now, I just tried rebooting to see if the Wi-Fi would still connect, and indeed it still does. Before, it would just sorta freeze whenever it tries to go into the wireless section.

I never said my connection drops, but I'm saying that IF I disconnect it manually (as in uncheck the Wi-Fi), and I connect it again, it wouldn't let me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
So I was playing around with my phone a bit and I noticed that the app MusicFX was running in the background. I checked the next day and it wasn't running. The moment I started the music player, however, it started as well.

I didn't install this app myself, and I'm not sure if it was on the phone already, but looking at the version number, it's already outdated. Finally it doesn't give me the option to uninstall it, just disable it. I just don't know if the music player actually depends on it or not (maybe the included equalizer uses it or something), so I'm hesitant to disable it.

Does anyone else already have this app preinstalled?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I do. I'm going to go ahead and say the equalizer in the music player uses it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
Interesting that google would use 3rd party software in their OS without even announcing it. I wonder what would happen if I downloaded MusicFX from the market (since it doesn't acknowledge that I have it installed). I guess there's only one way to find out...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Are you sure it's the same app? What is the full activity name in the app manager? (e.g. com.google.apps.AppName...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
com.android.musicfx - I'm almost positive that it's the same app. Same icon as well. Do you not have it? It shows up in the cached processes section of the running tab when you play music with the stock player.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I don't have a Galaxy Nexus yet. But if the activity name is com.android.musicfx, then that's a Google app. Maybe Google bought the company that made the original Musicfx?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rikbrown:
FWIW, I use Spotify, and have been regularly seeing crash notifications for MusicFX. I just disabled it and haven't noticed any issues in Spotify playback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swipe2011:
MusicFX - Android 4.03

After the recent update to Ice Cream Sandwich I see an option to enable MusicFX in the music effects panel. (Settings>sound>music effects) HOWEVER it does not show up in settings when playing a song in the stock music player, which it is supposed to do.

I have been using equalizer app for months which seems to work fine with ICS.

I looked up MusicFX in the Android Market - it did not say open, rather install so I installed it. Ended up with two copies in the music effects panel, and Equalizer stopped adjusting volume levels. I uninstalled the MusicFX I downloaded and Equalizer is now working again.

It appears Google Music is not implementing MusicFX despite it being in the Options.

Some folks have reported volume problems since updating to ICS. Any thoughts/suggestions on this problem????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Many people here are using Volume+ instead of music fx and have seen improved results with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theAnj:
I have noticed in custom roms that MusicFX is being removed. There are volume issues with the Galaxy Nexus (being too quiet) and I assume (part of) the problem is this MusicFX app considering the process to get the SGN louder is to get an equilizer app like Volume+ and going to Settings>App>All>MusicFX and disabling it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ridder10:
So have I for the last couple weeks. I recommend people to use it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EeZeEpEe:
It does show up in Play Music at least. Play a song or go to the Now Playing screen, tap the menu or actions button, Sound effects. Whatever music effects app you have selected under the system settings, sounds, music effects will open. In my case, my I've selected DSPManager instead of MusicFX.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It does show up in the app, if its enabled under Settings. Stock music app being Google Music, of course.
