[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpayne1:
Title says it all. I can't boot into recovery. I can't do it from the rom, I can't do it from the bootloader. It seems like it's borked for some reason. I booted into recover 5 days ago to flash back to CM7 from an ICS rom.

As of now, it just hangs on the initial splash screen. Been hanging 45 minutes so far and no sign of stopping.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Try flashing recovery again ?

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble at the moment getting my Facebook contacts profile pictures to show up when sync'ing my contacts with the Facebook for Android app. It sync's the accounts okay because I can still view a contact and it will have a link to their Facebook profile, however it's no longer sync'ing the pictures anymore.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Facebook app and then sync'ing contacts again but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any idea why that might be? Cheers. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodstock_ahem:
i did had this issue.... i removed the facebook account from social hub & the facebbok app itself..

Settings -> accounts and sync -> then clicking on the account and removing them.

Then first added facebook to social hub...synced it...then pictures were back...then i had to again log on to facebook app...and synced again (this is just to attach the contacts) so that the app can be lauched from contacts itself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshS2:
I don't have Social Hub, I froze it in Titanium Backup and it seems to have disappeared. :( Think I'm going to have to reset the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manmad:
Just try to delete and readd your Facebook.sync account. And then sync again. That worked for me. I never use the hubs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshS2:
Cheers for the replies guys. I found out what the problem was, the ROM I had installed had the Facebook sync removed from it. Did a full wipe only to realize this afterwards, all sorted now though. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
oh well just use the phone as MP3 player Camera etc

Or search the restore IMEI threads / restore EFS folder threads might even be in the stickies section .

Next time follow rule one Back up your EFS first ..Rule two is understand before you flash what you are doing as it saves another brick in the SGS2 wall .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
If you have root, try this tool if it doesnt work, flash your phone back to stock, reset the flash counter with a USB jig and send it to samsung saying that it suddenly stopped working.

If you have never flashed a custom rom, then just send it back to samsung (Make sure the flash counter is 0 and you have no yellow triangle and that its on the firmware your phone came with)

[HTC Inspire 4G] knightofthe9:
Hello, I am using cm7 the photos in the gallary will no longer take that time to focus and clear up. They stay pixelated. I updated my gallary.apk to a newer version and I am fairly positive this is the culprit. Also the order of my photos has been reversed chronologically. Does anyone know of any fixes or where i can find another gallery.apk that works well.

Thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
what would the gallery have to do with how the camera takes photos? I've never used CM7 strictly just ROMs using CM7 as a base but if the cameras are the same, make sure in the settings you have either pre-focus turned on or long focus turned on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knightofthe9:
Its nothing to do with the camera. It is when I bring up an image in my gallery or browsing the web they no longer autofocus with the full version of the image.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
ooooh, I misunderstood your post...hmm that doesn't seem right lol..no idea..try asking in the CM q&a and see if someone else had/has this problem and if they have a fix for it..sorry dude!
[HTC Inspire 4G] knightofthe9:
Thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
The cm7 gallery kinda sucks. Use quickpic instead. 1000x's better.. free too, Give it a shot..

*Kingpin... get it?*
[HTC Inspire 4G] knightofthe9:
3D gallery from the market was my fix and it is the same as stock cm I think. Thanks guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] punky_brewster:
Hi,

Just installed both

Rc 6.9.1.A-Z NON WIPE UPDATE(Flash This if you are on 6.75-6.8a,b,and c) UPDATE 1

and

Rc6.9.1-Z NON WIPE UPDATE (Flash This if you are Already on 6.9z) UPDATE 2

Following that, I've selected Samsung keyboard.... it is now AZERTY instead of QWERTY.

Switched back to Android keyboard and it is QWERTY.

Is there a way to change the Samsung keyboard to QWERTY ?

Thanks,

Punky.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] scarey23:
is there anyway of increasing the in call volume ..i'm hard of hearing and find the current volume to low..i've tried all the stock roms and now i'm on K.P.'s v2 optimised rom and volume+ app and they are all the same..

my phone is rooted so is there an app or hack that will let me hear the other person ..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] lionfib:
Some say GB 2.3.6 improve the sound volume and quality...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
Try this optimized ROM

http://blacknotes.weebly.com/
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] scarey23:
@lion, tried them all as stated in original post but thanks for the info..

@rio, if your rom didnt have the words 'rio' and 'blacknote' on the UI them maybe but what makes yours better?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vdese:
I have a low volume only in some calls, the other is strong and clear. It's as if the phone, sometimes, forget your volume settings and we must tap the volume keys for to remind it. I have fw XXKLA2 rooted and it's the same as XXKK1. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] scarey23:
i wonder if theres a service code available like the i9000 has that you up the volume..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] maradonaputra:
I used 2.3.6 I8150DXKL1 DXLA2, rooted.

Then installed volume+ (free on market) set to volume level +4, afterwards installed volume+ v1.7.4.1 (download from 4shared) set to volume level +15.

Yes, feel better :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] scarey23:
thanks mate ,i'll try that..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vdese:
But Volume+ doesn't allow you to adjust the volume of the earpiece capsule. The "speaker" refers to the external speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] scarey23:
this app has 3 options , speaker,headset and bluetooth so the 'earpiece' isnt adjustable...

any other ideas anyone..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] lionfib:
maybe amplified earphones?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] scarey23:
well i've tried the app and it doesnt seem to do anything on my phone , the in call volume is still low...

surely someone knows the service code hack so i can adjust the volume ...

[btw the i9000 code does not work]
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] scarey23:
update...

i've tried a 2.3.5 rom and all the 2.3.6 roms and all the de-toxed roms and still the in call volume is low..tried all the apps on the market with no change..

can anyone help with a code or a method of increasing the volume otherwise my 'w' will have to be sold and an iphone brought..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
You can try this, it now supports in call volume , its stil experimental, but it wont brick your phone :)

hey guyz my phone got stuck in emergency mode while flashing new baseband....

at first the flashing software got stuck on arss burning for over 10mins then it says time out...and the software is not exiting it says you cannot close the program until write have completed to all phone...

i have disconnected my USB and now it is booting into emergency mode no recovery nothing :(

EDIT: SOLVED

btw if this will happen to u sometime then this is what i did---

turn off ur phone and take out the battery then hold vol up+back key and insert usb while hloding keys mentioned

then it will detect ur phone and goes into emergency mod and then start baseband flashing tool and select baseband file and and start flashing baseband it will start the process from where it was interrupted :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cornelha:
In the guide to flashing baseband it says you can reflash from emergency mode. I suggest you give this a try. Else maybe boot into recovery and try flashing from there.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gurpreet9080:
it isn't booting into recovery only emergency mod :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ManBearrrPig:
it happened to me 2 weeks ago. i think i unplugged my phone and removed the battery then reinsert it and power on the phone.

or you can try this:

1. connect your phone in emergency mode to the windows pc.

2. check the device manage, to see if there any lg hardware there, don't run the lg update tool now, and you should previously install the lg driver first

3. if you see the 3 lg hardwares, disable the modem one, i found this one make the connection dosen't work when run the lg update tool in emergency mode.

4. just run the lg update tool, it will detect you phone and update itself, even it stop at 4%, if you get luck, you can wait it finish or disconnect the phone, your fastboot should be back.

Hows it in colder regions, i.e. Canada or so? Or were my cold hands at fault?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Are you running 4.0.1 and typing in landscape mode?

The lag is not the fault of the cold but a bug in the system. It is resolved in 4.0.3.

I tried plugging in my Razr into in my com just now, and it's undetectable under "adb devices" command. It charges properly, PC sync works, it can detect the phone and SD card, just not under "adb devices". I could do it before, that's how I rooted my phone, but now? Can't be detected.

Running on stock ROM.

System version: 65.1.12.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-ga671bf6, a24124@zin22lnxdroid14 #1

Can anyone help? Would be much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oaklands:
make sure you use the usb cable that came with it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] traumadog:
USB debugging is off by default, though I presume you had it active if you rooted the pbone.

Settings->Applications->Development gets you to the check-box to activate it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Yes, I am using the cable that came with the phone. And no, USB debugging is not disabled. One of the first things I checked.

Edit: Seems like I've found the problem. Motorola ADB interface drivers didn't install. Which was weird, cause it had to work when I went to root my phone. Hmm. But now I can't get it to install. Downloaded Motorola 5.4.0 Driver with MotoHelper and Motorola Mobile Drivers 4.7.1 and installed both, but still can't detect. Any help?

Edit again: Problem solved. Had to do a clean uninstall and reinstall for Motohelper. Includes deleting some stuff not cleared by the uninstall. Thanks a lot!

I pulled everything out and restarted it, no sd card, no sim card, back is off. Its still bootlooping. pleaseeee help.. any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
with the sd card out i can get past the bootloader screen and into amon ra recovery, but no sd card means its pointless. Still bootloops though. If i have it in its asking me to update, but i dont remember leaving anything on the root of the sd card. I dont know whats going on here.
[HTC Rezound] carguy88:
If the only thing you need to do is remove a file from the SD card, then you can use an adapter and delete it using your computer, or just borrow a buddy's phone and insert the card and delete it there. Worst case, you buy yourself a new blank SD card and copy the folder (with full path) for your nandroid backups over to the new card and try restoring a backup.

If those recommendations at not helpful, you can do a lot from ADB. I recommend following some of the available processes in the development section to reinstall the appropriate kernel (boot.img).
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
aye, thanks man. atm im at work and dont have access to another sd card or anyones phone that can get to the root of the sd card. :(

If I understand you correctly, you want to move applications dialog boxes? If so i guess that will depend on the application and not the OS your phone is running.

So i was looking at the xda wiki for our device and noticed that in the specs that there's an FM tuner in our device but its disabled within the firmware. my 1st question is, is it true we have an FM tuner? and my second question is, if we do truly have an FM tuner that is disabled within the firmware, is there a way we can enable it so we can use it? i mean, if there is a way to enable it, why not use all the features that our phone has?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
I think that the chip would have to be connected to the headphone jack so that when you connect your headphones they act as an aerial antenna. At least thats how my old hd2 worked. Im thimking that they left it disabled because they left out that connection. I wish I could say for sure but I'm not opening up my phone to check! :p
