It could be a few things. A corrupt boot file, a failing hard drive, or something as simple as resetting the bios. Start with the easiest fix, which would be to reset your bios. To reset the bios, unplug the computer, open the case, and remove the system battery. (the battery is the size of a quater). After that is done, press and hold the power button for 2 minutes (this will discharge the IC's). After that is done, replace the battery, close the case, plug the computer in, and press the power button. If the computer boots up normally, you should be all set.

If this doesn't fix the problem, chances are, the hard drive failed. Depending on which make and version bios you have, you can test the hard drive using the built in hard drive test utility. To enter the bios, you can tap the delete key. Some computers use the F2 key. When you turn on the computer, look at the bottom of your screen and it should tell you which key to press. Once in the bios, using the left and right arrow keys, look for "tools" and select that using the "enter" key. Look for "hard drive test". If you don't see that option, your bios doesn't support it.

When you tried turning the computer on, did you hear beeping? Beeps have different codes, which indicate hardware failure. They could be long beeps, short beeps, etc. I'll do my best to help you.

The OP has a lappy. Not all laptops have removable cmos batteries. Also he gets the windows loading screen, so it less likely its an HD issue and more likely just a system issue. Also to reset cmos just pop the battery out for 30 seconds. That also helps remove static, which can cause problems.
[Off-topic] PeartFan40:
That is completely false, on every level.. A failing hard drive won't prevent the bootscreen from loading, that's the job of the bios. And a failing hard drive can get to several different stages in the boot process prior to looping. As I stated in my original post, it could be several things, INCLUDING a corrupt boot file. And you are incorrect about some laptops not having batteries. All computers, be it desktops or laptops have batteries. The cmos chip requires a battery to store the settings in bios. Only really old laptops have non removeable batteries. But we're talking about laptops that are far more than 10 years old. Let's keep this thread on topic. If you have additiinal support to offer, please do. Otherwise, let's keep all off topic conversation of his thread.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Well I guess I won't argue with you since I fix computer every day and have seen new laptops with permanent cmos batteries and a place where you can short the board to clear the cmos. But what do I know.
[Off-topic] PeartFan40:
Not going to hijack this member's thread with an ego fueled debate. I've been working on computers since the Apple IIe. I'm offering him basic solutions based on his level of experience. If basic troubleshooting methods don't remedy his problem, the appropriate suggestion is to take it to a shop. I don't think it's a good idea to start showing an inexperienced end user how to start messing with the jumpers. That could turn a simple problem into a very expensive lesson. Let's keep this thread clean.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Seeing as how nobody mentioned it, the OP should try booting with the bare minimum of hardware connected. Disconnect your optical drive, any HDD that isn't the primary drive, any RAM apart from one DIMM, (if you have two swap them out and try again), remove, sound/graphics cards, network cards...anything you don't need to boot, pull CMOS battery and replace. Then try to boot, and see how you get on.

That's the first thing that should have been done.

(BTW i'm not seeing anything here that suggests the PC in question is a laptop? Do many laptops have 3 HDD's as the OP mentioned he did?)
[Off-topic] PeartFan40:
BTW, you don't have to worry about losing your files. You can buy an external hard drive enclosure kit and use your hard drive as an external usb drive.

As the title says, i'm looking for a Bluetooth Handsfree with a2dp, mute button and good battery life. So far, I have found out plantronics voyager pro plus which satisfies this requirement, but its rather big. Are there any other good alternatives ?

Multi Mic for active noise cancellation is a plus :)

Please suggest...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] buxz777:
why not check out the samsung hs3000

ive used it before , it has a nice battery life , great quality sound , 3.5mm for any headphones , music controls , volume controls , 2/3 eq settings , voice prompts ,

i dont know if it has a mute button but id rate it quite highly for a bluetooth headset
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
Also check out the Sony Ericsson MW600. Does everything I need.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] delao13:
Jabra icon or era will also do the trick. If you want full headset, try motorola S9-HD.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] IamJAX:
Jabra or Jawbone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mafioso:
Thanks for the suggestions guys...I should have mentioned it in the first post, i'm not looking for a full headset...just 1 side mono one...that's why plantronics pro plus is on the list..

Also for the other ones, I don't see a dedicated mute button for them..I don't know how voice commands work? Do I have to say mute during the call so its mute the call? something like that or what? Like for example this product?

Hello,

im a web developer and had an idea for a web based app (basically a for mobile devices optimized page), which i want some feedback for before i put time and work in it:

after installing a new rom i usually change some default apps to my liking, like the browser, music, text input, etc.

i thought of creating an app which is run after installing a new rom and let you choose (download and install) your favorite browser, music etc app. (like the "choose your browser" after a fresh windows 7 install.)

this way, every user could easily and fast customize their roms to their liking and less apps would be needed integrated in the rom image.

Feedback / thoughts / ideas are very welcome.
[Desire Themes and Apps] op8867555:
nice idea

somehow, I prefer the method used in AIO(Aroma installer) rather than install apps after first booting.
[Desire Themes and Apps] danarama:
Problem is, custom ROM owners will just restore their defaults and apps via titanium backup or similar.
[Desire Themes and Apps] marius.a:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vabeach454:
Just DL System Tuner and goto CPU and change your Values as you want. Then Goto Voltage and I usually go -50 wich is 4 button presses (-12.5) and it works fine. I have heard of some going to -100 although I dont reccomend that. It's Easy. :)

[HTC Sensation] d.bobo:
Hi there,

I have 2 important questions regarding my HTC Sensation phone, I have this mobile now for like 6 months and it's a really nice phone.. but the last time it's going weird now and then.

I'm still using the stock rom HTC provided with my phone, I updated to all available updates.

My problems are:

1. Camera is not starting anymore

When I try to start my camera app it's going to a black screen and then pushed back to my homescreen. I tried the methods mentioned on XDA already, like shutdown the phone and pull out the battery and pull it back in and start the phone again.

Then I tried third-party apps, like CameraMX. But the program tells me it can't open the camera!

2. The lockscreen not responding sometimes when receiving a call

When I try to drag the ring out of it's position it is not moving. And nothing is responding until I push the standby hardware button on the top of the phone twice and then it is all working again.

These 2 problems are very annoying while using my sensation daily.

I hope someone has a clue!

Because I searched a lot on google and this forum, but I didn't found any proper solution.

Thanks in advanced!

What's the optimum size resolution for watching videos on Xperia X8

What I mean is that I convert my HD videos into a 320x240 resolution to view it on my phone. I convert because my stock video app does not let me play those "big screened" videos. But both the audio and video quality decreases considerably.

I don't wish to use any 3rd party app to watch those HD videos , rather watch them on stock app (Converting into small resolution saves me disk space as well :cool: )

What screen resolution should I use to watch good video quality on my X8 ??

Also , any tip to improve audio quality ?

Specs :

Xperia X8

GingerDx V021

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldbugbee:
you can try on 480*320 resolution at bit rate of 1082(around) and 25frames/second and in audio 93kbps bit rate and 48kHz sample rate.

hope this will help you....

P.S. - you are using a custom rom right? so why don;t use try something like MX Video Player? so far it seems to be a good player on stock 2.1 for me. (just sharing my experience mate :) )

Hi, quick question. Can anyone confirm if the official 2.3.5 update through Kies Mini includes flashing gingerbread bootloaders? Until recently I've only run KB1 roms, but I now have CM7.1.

Briefly, I used Odin3 1-click to go to UCJF6, did a master clear, then used Kies Mini to go from 2.1 to 2.2 then 2.3 as per instructions. After that I went right to CM7.1 with no issues other than the expected bootloop after flashing the speedmod kernel which was resolved by flashing the rom.

BTW, I'm finding CM7.1 as solid and stable as I would ever need. (The main reason I stuck with KB1 releases for so long.) Many thanks to all the developers, maintainers, etc. for keeping the captivate alive.
