[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
I am getting really frustrated with my wife's Nexus S. Currently it has ICS with glados kernel, but the problem persists no matter what rom/kernel combo I put on it, the phone always randomly reboots. It has been doing this for months now. It will be sitting on the bed and we'll just see the boot animation, it turns right back on so only has a few seconds of down time but it does it CONSTANTLY, every couple of hours.

Is it possible the phone has something physically wrong? What can I look into? I'm bout ready to unroot and warranty exchange. I run the app "aLogcat" on it, but that doesn't really answer much *probably because it's a bit over my head* When I set it to Fatal level logging, nothing really even shows up. I can post the log cat result if anyone would care to look at it for me :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Have you tried raising voltages??

Are you using any oc settings or live oc?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
I haven't messed with anything related to processors since I had a G2 lol. Do I just use Set CPU? I've never really dredged into that subject because I don't know what voltages to set it to, etc. Can logcat help confirm that could be the issue? The only thing I can really interpret from it is that winamp is having Wifi issues... but I don't even have wifi activated in the app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
I see these posts all the time and I'm sorry I picked you to harass.

rant

DON'T MOD YOUR WIFE'S/GIRLFRIEND'S/FRIEND'S/ANYONE'S PHONE!

Seriously, they don't care about overclocking, undervolting, cool mods or whatever as much as they care that the phone turns on, makes calls and doesn't reboot. And if they really do care you need to tell them to do it themselves.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
Also reboots are annoying and I hope you are able to get yours sorted out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
Wow, I didn't realize that you knew my wife. She had a rooted G1 when I met her, and has been using Cyanogenmod since CM5, with a break while she had a vibrant because it doesn't have CM. You are extremely offensive to women, and you are a sexist, close-minded neanderthal.

She does lots of things with her phone, and hates it stock. She and I are both stumped about the issue so *I* posted up. I'm not some retard that modded my casual girlfriend's phone and screwed it up on her.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
Yeah it's really frustrating, at least it comes right back up. My Evo 3D needs a battery pull when it happens because it locks up on the bootanim :(

I may look into newer ICS builds, but like I said this is across all rom's/kernels :(

Can SetCPU help even if I'm not sure the exact voltages to play with? I've just always been against Profiles running so I haven't used it in quite a while. Any ideas to try out?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchaari:
I think that you should go back to a factory set with GB just to check that the hardware is fine...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
I'll try that probably tomorrow. Going to drive her nuts stock though haha. I know her vibrant GPS issues ended up being hardware
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
See I knew I was going to say it to the wrong person. I'm not sexist it's just that so many people think it's a good idea to mod someone else's stuff and usually what I read on here is "my gf". I'm actually quite sure that tons of users on here are women either intentionally trying to hide there gender or use a name that is neutral. Which is sad if they have been made to feel that is necessary. Anyway if your wife actually does some flashing, modding, or whatever then I apologize to you. However, my point still stands for the rest of users that mod other people's phones. Just don't do it!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
Didn't mean to go off on ya, but we're definitely not that case :) Our whole house is full of modded stuff, Modded Wii, PSP, Anything android, lots of *geek* mods to my car, etc. I've swayed her this way but she already had it in her to begin with :cool:

But yes, I agree with you. I have people coming to me ALL the time to root/mod/whatever their phones and I used to help out a lot, but now I debrief them on what it all means and most back out of it because it isn't relevant to them. And whoever I do help I treat it more like a learning experience and teach them how to maintain it on a basic level without me *changing roms, etc* and don't help people unless they're willing to understand it. Pretty good system I think lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrod21i:
I'm also having random reboots on the Nexus S that I got just recently. I ran a 100% stock unrooted rom for about a day and no reboots, but I primarily got the nexus for cm7 so I had to go back. Sure enough, within about 12 hours of rooting and flashing, got another reboot. Tried many different roms/kernels and underclocking/overclocking. Let me know if you find a solution.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
likewise, if ya beat me to it :p

Anyone know what voltages to try out? I'm in the process of booting up into GummyNexus, and to test it out I flashed this too:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236779

Anyone heard of the Adrenalin Shot? Found it while digging into the Vibrant 4G forums. Universal flash, says it can even help an Evo 3D's 3D Picture quality, but general snappyness. This Nexus S is running crazy fast/good at the moment, but not sure if thats just because its a fresh flash with no apps loaded yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SA-07:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrod21i:
I purchased a third party battery and have been using it for nearly a week without any reboots after having a reboot nearly everyday with the stock battery. Although it doesn't make much logical sense, a different battery seems to have fixed the issue

The battery: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DC2MF6/ref=oh_o00_s00_i01_details
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
Running Gummy Nexus I haven't seen any reboots :) VERY stable rom, highly recommended. I also flashed the Universal Adrenaline Shot. I found it hidden in the Galaxy S 4G threads but it's got a specific GS4G version, then a universal that worked great. Very snappy :cool:

Nova launcher is the best. Look for it in the galaxy nexus app section and flash via cwm. That's what I'm using and its great!
[Android Apps and Games] Jens Christensen:
Wow, what a smooth launcher! Excuse my ignorance but where is this from? It's really good except you can't re-size widgets and change dock icons.
[Android Apps and Games] baghera1979:
Yes.. its the stock launcher that comes with the rom. I'm using nova launcher and its awesome, just like trying new ones :-)
[Android Apps and Games] pspunderground:
I pulled it from an Oxygen ROM port for the N1. And you can change shortcuts on the dock. Just hold the icon. There are also more settings when you hit Menu then Launcher Prefs.
[Android Apps and Games] Jens Christensen:
What I meant was the ability to use a custom icon for apps in dock.

So, I download the Go Launcher Ex APK, and the ICS Go Launcher Theme APK.

I have extracted both APKs, and I have copied over the theme files to the actual launcher APK.

From there, I have re-zipped the launcher APK and placed it into my /system/app, but for some reason I am getting a force close.

Should I sign the APK and place it in the /data/app? I know that if it is going into the /system it should NOT be signed, so I'm unsure what is wrong.

Anyone know what might be causing the force close? Thanks

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] araandroid:
Hi ,

I am using stock pre-rooted rom DDJP4 with custom framework and theme. I have applied some build.prop tweaks. I am using G3MOD 2.3 OC kernel with my partitions as

/system rfs

/data ext4

/cache ext4

/sdext ext4

Basic problem with my system data2sd is enabled ( as I have done it manually ! ) but still it looks for data on internal /dev/block/stl7 memory partition i.e. /data . Though its linked with /sdext/data , phone and apps does not recognize data from sdext , instead they use data from internal memory only !

( I confirmed it with checking sms storage .) Also all the data from /data is copied to /sdext/data.

Please help. Should I use data2sd.sh script ? Or I should wipe whole data partition ( on internal memory only ) and then check if its working with /sdext ?

My df status is as below.

[Nexus S General] BrennanU:
Hello all. I have a user who just got a Nexus S, and we are trying to get his Exchange stuff synced. The problem we are having is that he uses Sharepoint lists to share contacts in his department. His old blackberry had desktop software that could sync these, but I cannot find a way to do it with the Nexus. I have tried the Kies software, however it is not working, I suspect because it is a pure Google phone.

Does anyone know of some software I could get that will sync his contacts?

In additon, he is sharing calendars through outlook, is there a way to get these multiple calendars to sync?

Thanks,

Brennan
[Nexus S General] BrennanU:
Has anyone found a solution for this, or have any ideas of sync methods?
[Nexus S General] scrapperstoo:
I think this is a limitation of active sync rather than of the mobile device, isn't it?

Been a while since I looked into it, but we have iPhones at work with the same limitations and I couldn't find a way round it at the time.
[Nexus S General] skifaster:
Yes, this is a limitation. There isn't a way to sync SharePoint and mobile devices directly. There are some apps for Android (e.g. SharePlus) that might work to access the content.

We have been working on an Outlook add-in that syncs SharePoint, Outlook, Exchange. Using ProperSync, users can sync contacts and calendars to their Outlook folders. The items are then distributed to mobile phones via Exchange.

Hope that is helpful.

*Disclaimer - I am part of the ProperSync team and hope this has been a relevant and helpful posting.

[HD2 General] fillippe:
My HD2 touchscreen started to be erratic. One day working and the next day dead. So I thought..."nothing to loose"...and ordered a replacement touchscreen and digitiser. Three things I learnt I should tell others:

1. The task of disassembling the device without harm to it and your ego is not for the faint-hearted. I bricked my phone by prising open an incorrect layer which opened the display unit!

2. I find out also, at that point, that the replacement part I had bought had a bigger ribbon connector than the phone, despite the vendor specifying the models covered.

3. Overall, it is something I would recommend, as I have had to replace my HD2 with a Titan X310e!

Why would you want to OverVolt?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it might be a bit rhetorical but...

why are you asking that question then? :confused::rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] big70tom:
because if the reason is good, then i may want to overvolt. i dont have the knowledge currently to understand . so this might be rhetorical, but " why are you a Mod and an asshole to someone seeking knowledge?"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
simply because your question was not properly formed, instead it was stating the obvious

it'd have made more sense asking "when should you overvolt?" or "what do you gain by overvolting?" ;)

you ask the proper question you'll get the proper answer, you ask crappy question you'll get crappy answer, as simple as that :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] big70tom:
O.k. ill play. I know you know the answer too so please don't disappeared now that I'm being g compliant with your request.

What would I gain by overvolting? I'm currently running Faux 007 kernel. I understand that undervolting should theoretically increase battery life, although I have been unable to see any difference in my tests. Would overvolting improve anything? Couldn't I harm something by overvolting? Any knowledge about this subject would be most helpful. Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
What is your thought to overvolting? I understand wondering what you might gain from it, but what made you thought of overvolting in the first place?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] big70tom:
just reading postd. the ability to do so. people posting they ov, uv....etc...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
Completely unnecessary dude. You knew what he was asking. That attitude is exactly whats wrong with this forum. To answer your question OP, overvolting is mostly used for when trying to overclock to a high level. At least thats the way it was explained in a kernel thread in the vibrant forum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] big70tom:
Thanks Bro.....I don't know too much and read this forum daily trying to learn. Then a mod makes me feel Like a douche . But again thanks for your answer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
No problem dude. That kind of attitude just baffles me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
no i don't, not until he clarified what he was really after

that's why i did said it was rhetorical

as the original question pretty much stated the obvious Why would you want to OverVolt? as in Overvolting, that's a big no no, it's common sense, under normal circumstances or default of any electronic devices, that will cause harm.

however if you do ignore the fact of such action will eventually kill the device, but you still opt to go for it, then the only logical reason is to gain more power, which is usually associated with OverClocking, some OC steps can not be archived without adding more power, that's where the extra push of the voltage comes into play

so in a sense OverVolting is only required under specific circumstances which are directly disproportional to the health of your device, but will grand you crazy speed & power in exchange for a shortened life span
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
His question was pretty clear. Ive read your responses on other posts, and your an intelligent person. Not sure why you wanted to respond in the manner in which you did. Just own up that you were being a jerk and lets all move on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] big70tom:
I'm thankful for the information either way. The thing that shocks me the most is that guy is a mod!!! That's a joke.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Boogerwooger:
Hi Everyone,

On my Samsung Epic, I was able to access the directory of system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl where "headsethook" was listed. This enabled me to use the little button on the wire connecting my Bose Headphones to the Epic along with an App called "Headset Button Control" to play/pause music.

When I searched the same directory of "keylayout" on the Nook Tablet, I didn't find sec_jack.kl, and as I suspected, the same button had no effect on the nook (checked via debug option in Headset Button Control)

I was wondering if there is any way to make the NT recognize the headphone button, or if this is a pure hardware issue?

Thank you so much for your attention!

(as for the reason, I would like to press the button to flip pages on my ebook reader and manga reader. I have tried this on my phone using Tasker, and it works 100%)

Here's a screenshot of the headphone button: 4electronicwarehouse.com/content/bose/mobile-on-ear-headset-ser2.jpg

need a little advice on what cf root version im needing as some of the numbers etc look similar to each other with varying letters that im not sure of.........

phone details are:

gb 2.3.4

baseband i9100xxki1

kernel 2.6.35.7 - i9100xwki4

build xwki4

i can see variants of xwki4 (ie nee v4.1, 42 v 4.2 etc etc) but id rather get it right first time as il get hung by the mrs if i screw it up lol

cheers in advance and if anyone wants to suggest a rom

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark67222:
I don't think it really matters what kernel you flash to root it. I think its just advisory to get one that closely resembles your original one when first rooting. As once its rooted, when you flash a different rom they come with a kernel anyway and most people on here seem to always be experimenting with different kernels.

Hopefully someone else will confirm this.

I'm fairly new to this but it really isn't that hard as long as you follow the instructions from wherever you get them from.

Noob here,

With instruction from this fine community I have managed to successfully root my kindle fire and install cm7 via Twrp. I still prefer amazon's native kindle book app, so I jump back in forth between CM7 and kindle fire via the backup restoration option in TWRP. This process is somewhat lengthy and I was curious if there is a dual boot option yet. Or even if there was a way that we could launch amazon's launcher directly from CM7. Thank you for taking the time to respond, and thanks you for the work that you all do.

[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
There is an app called boot manager for some phones that creates img's of system, data and cache and let's you install a ROM to them then let's you reboot into the other roms where it mounts/loads the img's instead of the partitions. I am a beta tester for the app and could probably provide the files needed for them to add support for the fire but a few issues come to mind like.... Sdcard space, it's rather limited on the fire... I'm not really sure i even want to ask the dev's about the fire because of that issue right there. On my d2, the img's take up a lot of sdcard space.
