[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xympa:
I just flashed the stock ROM and kernel, but my kerel version is "2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 root@DELL143 #2"... What's that root thingy all about?

From what I've seen around the WEB that seems to be an official kernel... Guess I'm just paranoid lol... Did a factory reset and formatted both the phone storage and the sd-card. It's as stock I can put it i guess...

So this issue has been recent, Im just wondering if anyone else has had these problems? At first I thoughts it was other peoples pictures, but because I see these so much I'm sure its just mine. I attached pictures to show what I mean. I used Craigslist because it's easier to fine, but its happened while browsing the internet or even on the market.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatperson:
Doesn't happen to mine. Might be the ROM you are using.

Hi everyone,

I recently rooted my phone. I left everything stock I only have the Super user app, wifitether and titanium backup added after rooting but I've noticed that I been receiving the follow error at different times: Error 104: System error. Sign in failed... It's more but didn't have time to write down the rest. It also seems like my battery life is worse now. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

That means your 3g is having a hard time logging in. I've had this issue for the past week. Today I'm finally getting good 3g speeds and an active data connection that's not continuously coming and going.. Sprint has been having issues with their network in certain places which they are not being upfront about. Glad my constant calling and nagging payed off today!

[Atrix 4G General] Gfrt94yn:
okay, so I flashed the CM7 (prefinal) ics rom and all was well for awhile till i decided i was sick and tired of it because it seemed really laggy and imcomplete, so I figured I'd go back to stock 4.5.91 and to do so, you have to (atleast to my knowledge) RSD flash it to your phone. So i did, and my phone is now in the infamous infinite bootloop. Now I know there are already a million threads on this, but this is the first one (ive seen) that has THIS problem and got to it THIS way. I dont know if CM7 prefinal updated to 2.3.6 and you cant go back or if you cant flash back to stock period. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G General] jiggytom:
Did you do an OTA update to gingerbread?
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
You should have flashed a fruitcake via recovery instead of rsd. It is safer. However I believe I also got a bootloop when going back to stock via a fruitcake. Can you get into recovery?
[Atrix 4G General] Gfrt94yn:
Yes, I did the OTA update to 4.5.91. If it matters (which I don't think it does), I was rooted and unlocked, I had the CM7 kernal + prefinal ROM installed, and tried to revert to stock 4.5.91 via RSD. Maybe its because I installed the kernal? And I can get to stock (worthless) android recovery.. actually scratch that, I can get to the triangle with the ! in the middle, but the menu wont pop up...
[Atrix 4G General] Gfrt94yn:
psshh is this a joke? I finally figured out to access the dumb stock recovery (yeah i know, its common knowledge) and formatted cache/system and it worked! What im trying to figure out is why it worked..... o well.
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:
lol great i was going to suggest flashing.a fruitcake they are closest to stock without the pitfalls of rsd light

Skeptical on that.

A few months after I got my Evo, the Camera borked itself, so I took it in to Sprint. It was rooted, so they didn't work on it. The rep said the warranty was voided because it was rooted. He said to take it back home, return to stock, and bring it back in. After I did that, they replaced my Evo.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btappan:
Hello-

I have noticed that the GPS icon randomly appears in the status bar when using non-GPS related apps. I cannot find an exact pattern, but I've seen the icon appear when answering a phone call, accessing gmail, unlocking the phone, etc. The GPS icon appears for 2-3 seconds and then disappears (never really locks on).

Under location services, I have:

- Google's location service [not checked]

- GPS satellites [checked]

- Location & Google search [not checked]

Anyone else see similar behavior on ICS?

btappan
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
You would be surprised how many apps can use GPS for location. If you don't want it to show up disable GPS and use cell towers for rough location. It won't lock if you don't have good GPS signal or if you're indoors.

Anyway this is normal behaviour.

Dear XDA people,

I got some problems with my SGS2, when I charge my battery, when its on 50%, it gives the message Fully charged and it shows that I got 100% battery, but actually I got only 50% Battery... I had this problem with the stock rom, but Flashed a new rom checkrom. Still the same problem and the Battery calibration app isnt working. Even if I wipe battery data, it still gives the same problems.

Got any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thx in advance,

Defective battery. If it's within 3 months/90 days I imagine they'd replace it for you, if not you'll need to buy a new battery.

Nah, thats not the problem since I have a 2nd battery.. Its a software problem I guess but I cant figure it out.. really sucks

First step backup data and factory reset .

Second step install stock rom and test .

Fails then reset rom counter to zero and return under warranty .

Probably a hardware problem :(

Am looking for a simple manual to guide me through the routine to root my HTC Desire S.

As english is not my native language I constantly have doubts if I understand everything well enough and at the end do not dare to do the routine.

I don't think I'm the only one out there who has this problem:-)
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
This is in the wrong section , it should be in the general section or Q&, but I will try to answer your question. Before I can do this I need to know what Hboot you are on, to do this take out the battery then put it back and turn it on by holding power and the volume down button.

Easiest way to root your phone is to constantly pull out the battery whenever you are doing intensive tasks on the phone.

You posted this question in the wrong section, it messes up forums when people do this, have some respect.

If you read the basic guides you would have probably seen the guide I link to below which clearly and simply shows the process you want in a video.

Now I only have to gather some courage.

Thanks to all the members who reacted and apologies for being in the wrong section:-( :-)

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
adenbutter, he was joking here. Do NOT EVEN THINK to do that...or you'll end up in buying the THIRD phone.

There are alot of links and you forgot to answer mmmcfc's question. In order to properly guide you someone (or direct you to the right thread), we must know the hboot you have (there are different rooting guides for different hboot versions). I hope the link given by 4myphone is all you need.

To avoid such situations in the future, follow some basic rules:

1. Read

2. Search

3. Read again

4. Post only in the right section and only if your question(s) are not discussed or answered somewhere else. Do not open a new thread if the problem has already a topic on it's own
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frnorke:
My stock NC 1.3 won't update to 1.4. I've downloaded the stock update from the BN site and place it on the NC in the "root" directory. When my NC goes into sleep mode, nothing happens; it just goes to sleep. I've waited several hours for it to update to no avail. I've also downloaded the 1.4 update from the BN site twice with the same file size so it appears that I'm getting the full update file.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlinux11:
Are you placing it in the root directory of the internal storage or on micro sd card ??? Must be root of the internal storage.

When you copy the file does it still have the .zip extension after copying ??
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frnorke:
still no luck

Yes, the file has a .zip extension and it's being placed in the root of the internal memory not the micro sdcard.

Is there another way to manually update to 1.4? Thanks for your help.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] abesh:
If you refer to page 23 (Tips and Tricks) of the Motorola Razr User guide (General Tips - last bullet point), it mentions an FM radio.

I know that though the chipset has the hardware for FM, the application is missing ? Or does anyone know if it is hidden anywhere ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] EVEALEX62:
Yes I have post this many times to Motorola support but they don't want to reply :mad:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eddy T:
Also pages 30 and 32 mention the FM radio.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
The application is present in software as part of the stock music app, but doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
My guesses are:

1) The manual is copy/pasted from other model's.

2) No FM radio kernel module/driver yet for the current kernel version.

Since the manual had mentioned it, you complaint it to FTC or equivalent. If there no FM radio driver yet, then, we wait and see. The current Android 2.3.5 implementations in RAZR is horrible. Menu's color scheme has no consistency. Most probably the Motorola was rushing to push the RAZR into the market, hoping it can beat GNex.

The FM radio app is there...

1) Get Anycut

2) Create new -> Activity

3) Find FMplayer and create the shortcut in home screen. For the time being, enjoy the FM Radio app.... :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tgeigel:
Wow this is great thanks for the trick! So happy to have my fm radio. I wonder what other goodies are hiding :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Adauth:
Tunein Radio Pro is a great app that allows you to listen to radio stations from all around the country, and it's reasonably priced. A one time $.99 charge.

If you dont want to commit to buying they have a free version you can use to see if you like it or not before you buy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oaklands:
You can get tune in radio for free at Getjar.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Adauth:
I always forget about getjar *facepalm*, only thing about getjar is they are very slow to release updates, if you recieve them at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] grubynawro:
So, is FM radio working for you? I can only enter to app, but radio can't find any station.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eddy T:
Same here, all I get is the message: " Launching FM Radio please wait...."
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dey.santanu2011:
Dont know.. but as my common sense says... if there is no APK in the system for the FM radio, then how can the FM radio application can tune in or even work..... food for thought????

Or I am a complete idiot??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
There doesn't need to be a dedicated apk if it's built into another app, which it is in this case.

Again, people, the software is there, the hardware either isn't there at all or doesn't have the necessary drivers to work with said software. Best case scenario, the hardware is there and Moto liven it with an update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pOOBAH1973:
It's not hidden. The RAZR and Droid RAZR do not have FM radio hardware. The manual is wrong.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kb3awq:
Well if it doesnt have it then us owners should go after them for advertising things that it doesnt have!

Here we can see there is FMAudio audio device exist, but since it being disabled during boot up. and I might be wrong,

I really hope Motorola can get the proper kernel module/driver for WL1285C chipset. because the boot loader is locked for developers to try newer or better driver.

Thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nothingham:
Ok know im really confused, there is or isn´t hardware for FM radio??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
You need proper kernel driver for FM device to be working in Android OS. For time being kernel is not "recognizes" the FM device yet.

I am not sure if the WL1285C chipset has no fm radio hw/circuitry, I cannot find the specs sheet yet. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DiRKiNg:
How is going this issue? Any update?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
The chipsets from the ogdriod and on have been revisions of similar Texas instruments chips that include Bluetooth, wifi, and FM radio, on one chip, but it is very difficult to find drivers that will compile into a working kernal and not break everything else

updated it last night to this version, keep on getting this message.

Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC STUDIO) mode,

[Galaxy S II General] mrm1:
Have you turned off USB debugging?
[Galaxy S II General] bandoo:
yes i have.
[Galaxy S II General] etepetete:
I was just prompted to update my Kies software. Before I did so, I searched for the download because I have had experiences of the update function screwing up the installation. (Uninstalling and then installing via the exe corrected the issues.) I couldn't find it. :( On the Samsung website only the older version is available for download.

I installed the update and everything went okay. Now I keep getting two prompts when I connect my Galaxy S II.

(Translating from German)

1. Album information cannot be imported. (Albuminformationen können nicht importiert werden.)

2. Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies-(PC Studio) mode. Kies doesn't support the current connection mode. (Verbinden Sie das Gerät im Samsung Kies-(PC Studio)-Modus erneut. Der gegenwärtige Verbindungsmodus wird von Kies nicht unterstützt.)

Now I can't connect my device with Kies. :mad:

I will reboot, repair the installation and see if I can get it to work. If anybody knows where I can download the installation file, pls let me know; it would make my day.
[Galaxy S II General] Twomorecharacters:
Does it suck any less?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If it sucked anymore it would put Hoover out of business real fast.
[Galaxy S II General] etepetete:
Now I'm connected. Didn't reboot my computer. I turned my phone off and then back on and I also let Kies re-install the drivers. Now I can connect.

The first prompt about album information was due to having a cd in the drive, which Kies couldn't read the album information from. Why does Kies try to read the cd when I'm just trying to connect my phone?

There is no firmware update for the phone.

When I tried to synchronize with Outlook I got two prompts

Contacts: 50% or more have been deleted....

Appointments: 50% or more have been deleted....

I of course aborted the synchronization.

I took a look at the GUI and the settings to synchronize all contacts hadn't been selected. It also showed a strange folder by the name 00000. Pointing to a folder or file without extension called TestDD. In the GUI I selected to synchronize all contacts and it worked without prompts or issues.

I was able to copy files to the phone without issues.

Kies still doesn't show the artist of mp3 files in its GUI and yes the tags are complete.

Kies sucks, not enough to replace Hoover :D and not enough to make me stop using it. Copying files is not such a big deal, I love the one-click ability to synchronize with Outlook
[Galaxy S II General] bandoo:
fixed, unistalled the samsung usb drivers, then downloaded the drivers from windows update...
[Galaxy S II General] mrm1:
Thanks. Worth taking note of when I update kies.
[Galaxy S II General] etepetete:
As in my previous post, I've had issues with Kies after using the on-line update function. This time it was the same. If for example I started Kies to synchronize contacts everything functioned properly. I exited Kies. Then if later in the day I just attached my phone (without starting Kies) just to transfer files from and to the external SD card of my phone via Explorer, My phone wasn't recognized and I had to go into device manager and re-install the drivers.

I checked in the installed software panel and although I had updated my Kies installation, the version displayed in software was Kies version 2.1.0.11112_41 :confused:

Today I decided to check if a standalone Kies installer was available and I was happy to find it. I uninstalled Kies as well as the USB drivers, deleted all folders including the ones under My Files and Documents and Settings, cleaned all references to Kies as well as the USB drivers from my registry and installed Kies using the installer and now the issue is resolved. :)

They must have fixed some things in this version. While synchronizing contacts, for example, it noticed differences between the contacts in Outlook and my phone as well as differences between entries in my Outlook calendar and the calendar of my phone, which wasn't the case before re-installing.

I also noticed that after installation, the installer for the USB drivers is now located in the USB folder of the Kies program installation folder. In previous versions the unpacked driver files were located there.
