[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast95135:
So my girlfriend got the most jacked up refurbished Epic from Best Buy (she took it in for a broken screen and 3 months and lots of phone calls later they gave her a "new" one), she's been having constant issues with it. The screen is discolored and sometimes doesn't respond to inputs (the bottom buttons always work though), it restarts, is laggy, has horrific battery life and overall pretty f-ed up.

Yesterday it shut down and refused to re-boot but she eventually got it working. She said it took a long time to boot up and once it did the screen was more discolored then usual, making weird sounds and being glitchy.

She lives far away so I walked her through doing a factory reset over the phone. Now it will only boot into the Samsung recovery :mad: . Oh yeah and now after the reset she can't make any menu selections either and can only scroll up and down. Odin MAY be able to fix it but honestly it sounds like a hardware issue and just walking her through the factory reset was frustrating enough lol.

I tried all the tricks, take the battery out, battery out + hold power and restart, etc. Any ideas anyone? Or is her phone FUBAR'd?

TLDR;

- girlfriend got messed up refurb phone from Best Buy

- lots of issues including screen

- yesterday locked up wouldn't boot

- got it working but glitched out

- did factory reset but now will only boot into stock recovery

- can't select anything in the menu, only scroll
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Yeah its jacked unless you odin back to stock and it works after doing that. If you do there is team viewer and you could do it remotely if possible just make sure she doesn't have the stock cable being used. But if odining back to stock doesn't help they gave her a bad phone.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
buddy, i have some bad news for you. thats not a refurbished phone. if it is, you better go back to the store and talk to manager and demand another one right away. you have all kinds of hardware problems.

but if you really want to give it a try and fix it.. welcome to the right place. to start off, you will need to use odin. if your not familiar at all with odin, we will gladly help you with the process.

so you want option 1 or option 2?

"the screen was more discolored then usual, making weird sounds and being glitchy."

that is 100% hardware issues. i use to be a mobile technician.. and just by that sentence.. thats all hardware.

what did they give you for a power cable? a toysrus barbie cable?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You are not going to be able to talk her through Odin if you had trouble with the reset. Best Buy insurance gives you new phones so she got a lemon. Have her bring it back. She will have a new one in 2 days...no issues.
[General Questions and Answers] Lekr:
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S II, and I've tried to place my game folder (a folder called Snes, containing all .smc files) both on internal storage and the folder called external sd.

Did also go to settings and rom directory, and under /sdcard I've chosen /Snes and pressed "done".

"Rom directory is now set to /sdcard/Snes".

Am I supposed to place the Snes folder on internal, or external storage? Should I choose the path at settings? I thought the emulator app would find the games anyway.

What could be wrong? It says "no games found in directory/sdcard/Snes".

Yesterday I was talking to my friend on loud speaker and noticed sound only coming out of the right speaker. I checked music after the call and noticed the same. Is it possible there is only one speaker and the left side is the mic? Or perhaps my phone isn't functioning properly? I'm on Weapon G2x 3.0 with ICS Theme.

So, never really used my contacts app that much.. just pick and choose in text or in dialer. Now, I just went to try to add a phone for a buddy of mine and it force closes. I can see my list of contacts and scroll through them, but once I try to click on a name, bam, gone. If I try to add a contact, bam, gone.

Anyone know what this may be? I have deactivated google contacts sync and anything I had synced to contacts but, it still does it.

Anyone have the stock APK I can just remove or replace the old one? Or is there another fix for this?

thanks

Hi everyone!

I was wondering how to make a normal carrier-based video call with my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. I have this phone unlocked in Costa Rica and my carrier's plan include video calling. However, I can't find an option in the dialing pad of this phone for video call or anything like that. I know I can make video-calls over Wi-Fi and 3G with Skype, Qik, Fringe, Tango, etc etc, but can I do a simple video call from the dialing pad or sort of with my phone?

Thanks a lot in advance :)

also i have a lot of null

Me too i have a lot of "nul"
[Android Themes] picard666:
so you guys all on 2.1.6? you all have v4?

what lines are null? did v1 work for you fully? (i mean weather conditions)

as for the text sender zero, i'll take a look at it
[Android Themes] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
I don't have v4 but I am on 2.1.6
[Android Themes] picard666:
then exactly which lines are null? because it works fine for me here

if i dont know whats wrong for you, i cant fix it
[Android Themes] djees:
I'm on v4 2.1.6

V1c all works

V2c all doesn't work just the weather...
[Android Themes] picard666:
for the weather does it show the conditions and the icons, too?

it's strange, because v2 is the same as v1, only difference is that it takes the notif texts to a similar vararray as the weather conditions

so i dont know what's the source of the problem, as my phone shows it properly

so i'll have to post a v1 with fixed separators then
[Android Themes] djees:
Yes it show the weather icon and conditions...
[Android Themes] picard666:

Would it be possible to add some slight transparency to the LS? Maybe like 10% or 15%? Not sure about what amount would look good without lowering the readability.
[Android Themes] brunodu91:
Hello and thank you

by cons it would be possible to upload another version with the time of appointment calendar

PS: Why are icons of all the weather does not appear in the LS?

Thanks
[Android Themes] picard666:
it shows the calendar if the appointment happens in the next 24 hours (like appointment name @14:00)

which icons do not appear for you?

btw thanks for the translation, will upload soon

hi picard,

thanks for your work!

I'm not sure if it was sent, because the message folder is empty.

If not, I'll send you an email or something like that.

v1r0x
[Android Themes] Droiddinho:
I got a whole lot of null on V2...switched to V1 and only null I get is below where it says your location and before it gives the weather reading.

And my schedule doesn't show up properly. It only shows the time of the appointment, not the actual content.
[Android Themes] picard666:
which version of miui you have?

btw i take down v2, looks like too many of you have issues with it, i'll look into it and soon post v3 instead with fixes
[Android Themes] v1r0x:
it seems like some devices don't know what to do with the <VarsArray>.

In v2 I checked with fields are "null" and it was every field which was assigned via a Item from the Arrays.

In v1 just the weather information like "Sunny" are "null", which is the only array in this version.
[Android Themes] picard666:
the VarArray is the only reason it needs 2.1.6, it was introduced with this version

otherwise it would be a pita to make it without the arrays, because 9s weather provides the weather condition only as icon number, so you have to provide a huge block for text with conditional visibility for all instances
[Android Themes] v1r0x:
Ok, I didn't know that. thanks.

I thought the others with the "null" problems had 2.1.6. I'll ask them ;)
[Android Themes] v1r0x:
here's another idea:

maybe some people installed the extended settings from 1.12.30, because Andy didn't released a new version for 2.1.6 and the old version works fine, so many people flashed it.

With this mod i'll become also many "null".

I think that's my last idea^^

doesn't make sense at all...
[Android Themes] picard666:
that's an interesting idea. something worth to investigate
[Android Themes] runedrune:
Nope. Running 2.1.6 with 1.2.30 extended settings. Working perfectly here.
[Android Themes] picard666:
then v2's issues about showing a lot of nulls is beyond me
[Android Themes] v1r0x:
Ok, that's weird now.

if I flash the 1.12.30 ES-Mod I got errors but for others it works fine :confused:

I'll test some things later.

Think some screenshots from people with problems would be nice, to see which fields are null.

For me it seems that the <VarsArray> don't work for everyone...

but I hope someone find the reason for these problems, because I really like this lockscreen and have cool ideas which I want to include. But if it don't work for everyone it's a pity
[Android Themes] picard666:
Added a fixed version of v2 in the OP.

Fixed a bug of not showing forecast days properly plus added 3 translations.

If you find any issues about v2_fixed (like something not showing up) check if you use at least 2.1.6. If so try to take a screenshot and then try v1. Please send me the shot with your phone and version. Thanks.

If you want it translated to your language, take a look at the OP.
[Android Themes] brunodu91:
Ok cool it works very well for the V2C FRENCH FIXED

However, this morning I still had the V1C Français, and I did not see the appointment today, when I was three appointments this morning (to be held after the current time, of course ...)

I think I understood why:

calendar notifications do not detect periodic meetings (eg weekly repetitive): it sees only the occasional appointment!

You can look at it in your variables??

thank you
[Android Themes] brunodu91:
What do you think of this picard666?
[Android Themes] picard666:
it's because the database stores regular events in a different way, that can't be handled properly with miui ls yet.

that means only one-time events show up. sorrry, that's a limitation of the system itself

by the way one message is enough, i'll response if i have some time
[Android Themes] djees:
Hi picard,

I test your v2c french and again bill art the same place...

After that i test your v1c french and all is perfect...
[Android Themes] picard666:
What is wrong with v2? I cant make out what you mean. What is missing? Please make a picture of it. Whats your exact miui version? V4 which weekly?
[Android Themes] itsmefu:
Love the lock screen but it's not working correctly for me either. I'm using miui 2.1.6 on a Droid Incredible. I have tried both versions and I downloaded the weather widget you posted.

Here is v1F

Here is v2F
[Android Themes] picard666:
you sure it is 2.1.6? because 2.1.6 should support both vararrays (the weather conditions) and textif tags (the front page). if so, is it mainline 2.1.6? or from somewhere else? does it have v4 elements?

In german it should be something like "Zum Entsperren abreißen".

Not much. Just changed some pngs, added new weather-icons as forecast, replaced the clock and added charging-information.
