[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exec228:
Salut!

Hardware: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 (3G)

Software: either Overcome 1.2.3, or Overcome 2.2.0, or BinDroid 1.0

Problem: on-screen Home button is not working.

On Bluetooth ZAGG-Case keyboard does not work either.

Only option for me is Button Savior software :confused:

Details:

For several months I had Overcome 1.2.3 and was a quite satisfied user. This Tuesday Overcome begun falling apart: widget load failures, freezes, shell restarts, software force-closing...

So I reflashed it to Overcome 1.2.3 again with all wipe options within Clockworkmod.

The tablet begun to work, but Home button died.

I tried Overcome 2.2.0 and had no luck with this button either.

Button savior software quickly died too (forcecloses on launch)

Then I reflashed it to BinDroid 1.0 and still Home button is disabled.

Button Savior looks like working, but anyways...

What can I try else to revive my Home button?

P.S. Installed P7500XWKL1_P7500XEUKL1_P7500XXKL3_HOME.tar.md5

That haven't solved the problem... :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exec228:
well...

may be this formula will have more chances to get an answer...

how can i completely reset the tablet?

so far i see several things remain when i accomplish a factory reset and all wipe options in clockworkmod.

and highly probably, the home button problem persists within these blocks left unerased.

p.s.

statusbar\settings\privacy\factory data reset haven't helped

cwm\storage\format\*.* haven't helped

cwm\wipe\*.* haven't helped

cwm\install\zip with data wipe haven't helped

men, after all these operations my /root/system/media/audio/ringtone is still keeping my mp3's. these erasing operations are not really erasing

since mp3 is safe, i assume may system setups and soft -configs are remaining as well, including that broken one which supports on-screen Home button

not even saying that device became much slower and MTP is not working

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062Z2RZS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details from my GT-P7310 using Tapatalk

I have had the Belkin case (too bulky, no cut out for charging) and the red on from best buy (okay but I'm a grown man I can be caught with a bright red ass case).

The Acase is slim and light. It doesn't add any bulk plus charging slot is open. Damn there perfect. Reg $80 but on sale for $20.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] wyatt23:
i have this case. the second image on amazon does not really work as advertised.

the battery charger slot is great and there is also a cut out for the camera as well.

very good case and very professional looking.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] qhinton:
Not sure what you mean. I type 2 paraghps like that today.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] manpete:
Anyone know where to buy this case in Europe?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] nkrick:
this appears to be almost exactly the same case as the Vipertek case that was previously available on Amazon (no longer available). It is a pretty decent case, especially for the money. Too bad you can't get the Vipertek anymore, the logo is "cooler" than the Acase logo.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] manpete:
It is also soldy mobilefun.co.uk asNoreye or something.

I ordered one, which sets you back 80 euro... ouch!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] manpete:
Meanwhile I received the Noreve case. It's a pretty good case with only one real problem... The tab not only clicks into the case at the top, but also at the bottom. So I am wrestling with the thing every time when I want to use it as a stand or when I want to put mthe Tab in the cradle.

Otoh this case has an opening for the power plug ad the tab can be used in the case while being charged.

First off all, hello. Today i was using my xperia x8, and inexplicably the Cyanogenmod settings stopped working. Now just show a black screen with the notification bar at the top. Can you help me? Sorry for my bad english
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pesky_89:
try a factory reset or flash the rom again. what rom and kernel do you have?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] a Mandroid:
hello all, like some of you I have suffered from this issue. The browser randomly freezes during page load and then a popup appears whether you want to wait or close the app. Hitting wait makes the page load continue correctly. This is can be very annoying.

However these simple steps fixed it for me for good. This may or may not work for you, but worth a try.

1. Go to Settings > Developer Options. Make sure "Force GPU rendering" is NOT ticked. If it was ticked, untick it and then please do a cold boot. (shutdown the tablet, and then turn it on by holding Volume down and Power button together)

(if you are curious about this, check this post)

2. After the reboot, goto Settings > Apps > All. Scroll down to Browser and Force Stop it if it is running. Then hit CLEAR CACHE and then hit CLEAR DATA.

Warning: You will lose your browser history.

3. Now Launch the browser and enjoy a smoother experience.

If you are experiencing the same issue in other apps, feel free to try this approach for that app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I've noticed the freeze also sometimes in browser. Usually on a heavy duty site or one with alot of graphics LR whatever.

But isn't the force gpu rendering off by default. I never touched mines n checked and its off/not checked. I've still gotten same result. It happens only sometimes and I just press wait n it immediately starts working again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] B-Mod:
***CAUTION***

Not only do you lose your browser history, you lose all bookmarks, and passwords. Basically it resets the browser to day one. Just a FYI....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, same here. Never enabled force gpu rendering, but I get the freezes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gbh62:
I get better browser performance when gpu rendering is on, but I'm using Skyfire. I gave up on ICS browser due to getting occasional lockup/reboots. Perhaps 2 to 3 per day. Not as bad as many people are reporting but still annoying. Haven't had this issue since switching to Skyfire.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I get much better performance in stock browser after checking force GPU rendering to ON. Strange how all these things vary so much from Prime to Prime. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
...or root your tablet and get ATP Tweak, then set the CFQ scheduler. I haven't seen a wait since.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] B-Mod:
I have noticed this also.......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'm currently testing this out now. We will See. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] a Mandroid:
It seems CFQ is also not free from issues - its causing random crashes in Shadowgun and riptide according to this thread:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Earthbrain:
I was about to order it just now but the coupon code is expired yesterday. One day late.

Well, I guess I will wait for another coupon code to arrive for me to order the 7.7.

Meanwhile, I will have to just use my Galaxy Note until something better comes along.

Maybe I am destined to buy something else.

If anyone know of a new coupon code, could you PM me or post it on this thread for other people to know also.

Thanks.

Why don't you try calling (or chatting online) them?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yozh:
So Im having a very strange issues with bluetooth in my car. It seems that some times when on call the people speaking to me cut out, just can't hear them at all, this happenes for few seconds but enough to disrupt the convo, it doesn't happen all the time but enough to drive me crazy. If I toggle the headset to phone and right back it works again. Very strange.

Any one seen this? Im on stock 2.3.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ptgptg:
I had bluetooth issues with two infuses (both of which were sent back for exchange) and then with my Skyrocket. All three kept losing the pairing with my car and sometimes wouldn't recognize my car when I got into it. The issues went away with my Skyrocket by keeping bluetooth on all the time and setting it to never visibly time out. Been about a month now, without any further issues.

Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
ptgptg , Have you found that keeping bluetooth on is causing excessive battery drain?

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

I was having unresolvable problems with my first phone (that I borked), and it started happening after I got the 2.3.6 ota update. It was either that or one of the earlier Alien rom builds that broke it, I think (right now I'm running Alien 5.5 and it's awesome with no bluetooth problems).

Even flashing back to stock would not fix the problems. Did you ever flash a 2.3.6 rom or any others?

Also, have you tried to delete the pairings, re-boot phone, and then re-pair and connect? On my old phone (Captivate) this would usually fix any weird bluetooth issues...
[XPERIA X8 General] ojkolsrud:
HALP!

My phone just went black, and when i turned it back on after taking battery in and out, xRecovery is gone, and I now have clockworkmod for X10 Mini for some reason! ... i have X8.

I can't reboot through CWM, it says that "ERROR: Current recovery seems bad!"

Also I'm guessing xR-files are different from CWM's, so the backup I had using xR probably won't work. What do? I don't wanna brick this.

Prior to this error i just installed a few apps. A few that I can think of are; Dropbox, Clockr (clock widget) and Screenshot. Last one needed SU-admissions, it may be that.

Please help.

Cheers

EDIT: Solved - it turned out FroyoBread has a dual recovery-situation; XREC and CWM

But keep on feeding me info!
[XPERIA X8 General] Mika Dee:
To further assist you please answer this questions.

Is your bootloader unlocked?

What is your current ROM?

Possible solutions;

If you can still enter a recovery flash a working rom and after that restore your backup.

If thats not work you will have to flash thru various recovery tool SE provides.
[XPERIA X8 General] ojkolsrud:
Solved!

I took a chance on rebooting, and was able to enter xRecovery and reboot from there.

Next question - where did clockworkmod come from?

Please advice...
[XPERIA X8 General] ojkolsrud:
I've never done anything with bootloader, other than a program to load various loaders, i don't know what it is.

My current ROM is FroyoBread by Doixhan.

As you can see in my second post, I WAS able to load xRecovery and reboot from there. Now I would very much like to know why a program i've never installed suddenly makes scary moves on my phone=P

Thanks for your reply!
[XPERIA X8 General] Mika Dee:
The answer is that you are using a dual recovery ROM

If you tap screen while booting it will enter CWM if you press back button it will enter Xrec.

Mostly ROM made for stock uses dual recovery, again.

Tap Screen = CWM

Back Button = XREC

PS:

Modifying your phone takes courage. If your afraid to brick it then read carefully and follow before you try. It takes courage to achieve something.
[XPERIA X8 General] ojkolsrud:
So you're saying my custom ROM has two recovery-programs with two different entry-modes?

It's strange that I never read anything about CWM when I installed either XREC or FroyoBread.

Anyways, thanks for the answer, dude. This really got me scared for a second=P
[XPERIA X8 General] Mika Dee:
Based on your statement yes you have dual recovery. Give it a try to see. Dont worry it wont brick your device when you enter a recovery. Just dont do anything just restart it after you test it,
[XPERIA X8 General] ojkolsrud:
I know NOW it won't brick my phone - but you know, I couldn't find anything about online, and I never installed that program (which said I couldn't boot because of invalid restore-files) - so you see WHY I was all revved up=P

I've owned a smartphone (this x8) for two months now, but I feel I got a nice knowledgebase of how all this stuff works - but I don't like sudden unexpected things like this. If I was scared of rooting and custom roms, I wouldn't have done ANY of this.

But thanks anyways, I love XDA;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhi619:
Hey all! So...after struggling with this problem for a couple weeks, I've finally decided to get some help. I have an HTC Thunderbolt, currently running MIUI-Vicious-ICS-4.0, with 2.6.35.14-imoseyon-5.1.0AOSP+ Kernel. Also, the baseband is 1.48.00.0906w_1,0.01.78.0906w_2.

The problem is that I don't get 3G at all, and often I loose data completely. Very rarely do I have even 3 bars of 1x. WiFi still functions though. I've had this problem on many ROMs (CM7, MIUI, DasBAMF) so I know it isn't the ROM. I'm paying for data every month so it sucks not being able to use it :P

If you need any more details, feel free to ask. ANY help on this would be VERY appreciated!

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonto86:
Take the phone back to stock, radios and all. If still no data, phone is screwed. But right now, no ics Roms for the tb have data working
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhi619:
So after I go stock everything and it works, can I root again? Because the very first time I had rooted my phone, I flashed CM7 and everything was working fine before I decided to switch ROMs like a mad-man.

I have a nandroid backup that I made right after rooting my phone, it has stock everything. Do you think I should try that to see if it works before messing with anything else?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonto86:
Yes, you could try your backup.

I gave up on sideloading an App for texting on my Sony S tablet, so!

I am using Heywire free texting, I have all the notifications set to let me know when a text comes in. But it never notifies me of incoming texts.

Anyone know of a better texting program that we can use on a Sony Tablet S or how to fix the Heywire?

Oh yes I am running Android 3.2.1

Text Me

So far I like the Text Me, but again no notifications. I have the Wi-Fi set to never turn off even when the tablet is snoozing. I have the notifications turned on in the Text Me program. Still no notifications, what could I be doing wrong and the volume is turned up too lol.

I like that the program has options like larger fonts and things that part is great!!!

Thank you in advance

I bought textab a while ago and its amazing!

(I can't link to the market as I apparently have the stink of noob on me. Oh well, google time for you lol)

There's a lite version too if you just want to try it first.

** edit- with textab you just use your current android phone #. With both devices connected through bluetooth you get all texts on the tablet instead.

It works great and I'd reccommend it to everyone, but its probably not what you're looking for.

I use MySMS which texts through your phone. It links using wifi

You should also be able to send texts without a phone using Google voice

I've been using Tablet Talk, and it's great. You can connect via wifi or bluetooth. When I get home in the evening, I connect my tablet to my Evo 3d, throw the Evo in a cradle, and don't touch it until morning. I get notifications for texts and phone calls through the app on my tablet. I'm curious how other apps compare though. This is the only one I've tried.

[Motorola Droid 3] Shwaguy:
No help with last post so I thought I would try again.

Bell 860 w/2.3.4 rooted. screwed up my contacts and stuff so I can do O.T.A. to 2.3.6. (replacing those lost files is not an option now it seems)

I have on my sd card the zip Willis111 posted the other day of the Bell 2.3.6 rom also Hashcode's ICS alpha 6 and the 860 fix.

I installed Safestrap 1.8, enabled, formatted /system, wiped data/cache. If I select reboot I get a blackscreen (backlight is on but black)

Pull battery, get moto screen, safestrap screen, bootloop, bootloop, bootloop....

If I select shutdown from safestrap menu then I can power up normally but still loop at the safestrap screen.

I have tried wiping repeatedly, wiped dalvik, cursing at it, booting with usb plugged in, all with the same results.

Please help.... I will name my next pet/random squirrel after you.

(more details available on request
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
In safe strap did you ever change to 'safe system' before you started wiping?

/Droid3
[Motorola Droid 3] Shwaguy:
Yes sir. I followed Hashcode's procedures from his site. I am sure it is just something small and easy that will get me going in the right direction.

I have it back on the "non-safe" mode at the moment and now all I have is a wifi connection. I checked the APN and nothing was listed. Entered the Telus APN info and it doesn't save so I grabbed an APN manager from the market. It says it is active but still no connection. I am thinking of doing a factory reset to see if that will help.

I just turned 40 today and getting my phone working again would be a great gift. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
My suggestion is to start over then..sbf your phone if you have one so you have atleast stock..then reroot it and do not install bootstrap or anything else..just instal safestrap..then go to nonsafe system..I don't think you need to wipe anything if its your first time but you can wipe anyway if you want lol then flash a rom (say cm9 or steeldroid or whatever) then reboot..it will take a while for your first boot but it should boot..let me know if this helps! Just don't boot up until after you flash a rom lol and remember safe rom is your stock rom and nonsafe is you're new rom that you're trying to flash

/Droid3
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Non safe is the stock. Safe is the one you're flashing.
[Motorola Droid 3] Shwaguy:
Thanks beard0, I have not seen a sbf file for the 860 Bell. Found a system dump but thanks to the fbi it is unavailable.

Another problem popped up unfortunately. I lost connectivity. I just have wifi now. Last month when I got the phone I entered the apn info from the Telus website and everything was fine. Now when I try it I get a message saying that "mmc field must be 3 digits" I thought that info was grabbed from the sim? Regardless, I added the rest of the info required, saved, but it doesn't save the info?? I tried apn manager and it had Telus listed, selected that but still no luck. After much searching I just did the factory reset, added apn info and still have no connectivity.

I have spent so many hours on these problems and really don't know where to go from here. Going to root/safestrap etc now.
[Motorola Droid 3] Shwaguy:
Out of curiosity I tried turning on simlock. It says no simcard detected. It worked fine for over a month and still works in my backflip though. I think the gf has a simcard in her phone so I am going to see if it reads hers when she gets here.
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
Maybe dumb question..

After rthe steps did you Flashed the actual ROM????

Just askbecause i dont see it. Mentioned :P

Also, If you disable safe systemthen youshould be able to go back to regular stock.....

Enviado desde mi XT862 usando Tapatalk
[Motorola Droid 3] Shwaguy:
Ya, I flashed the rom, tried the alpha 6 ics one also. It was after doing this then rebooting (still in safe) that i got the bootloop issue. I disabled safe system and went back.

Seems it doesn't really matter now though. It doesn't seem to be reading my simcard. No service (except wifi), Tried enabling simlock, says there is no card in it. Card works in my Backflip. I tried the g/f's Bell card and still no service, etc. Going to search around a bit and see if anything pops up but I may be sending it back. lol

There's always Button Savior. You would have access to Back, Menu, and Home at all times. Although it just won't be on the status bar.
[HTC Radar] Listerine:
While messing around with my phone, I noticed that in certain conditions, using the camera would result in the middle of the image being saturated and the periphery desaturated.

It was a subtle effect that I only observed because I was on my couch playing with my phone. Did anyone else notice this same effect? I tried it out with another smartphone (HTC Sensation) and it did a similar thing.
[HTC Radar] MJCS:
Looks like it is infrared spillover. Try covering the flash on the back and see if it produces the same photo. It is probably used to focus the camera.
[HTC Radar] nightryder21:
Happens to me too. I able to reduce it by shooting the pictures by taping the screens and saturation levels at normal. Avoid shooting white photos right after shooting a heavily saturated photo.
[HTC Radar] SDreamer:
I think that's an HTC thing. The HD2 had it pretty bad, but was lessened with a hotfix. My TouchPro has that too. Suprised to still see that on their latest devices.

Hi, I never see this on my Radar? You said in certain condition, you can reproduce it. Would you mind to tell me how do you do it? Cheers
[HTC Radar] JWhipple:
It's a software issue - HTC had the same troubles with the HTC HD2 and the HTC HD7 - both were remedied with a firmware update. On both phones it showed up as a pink blotch too.
