[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Does it keep changing it to the same ringtone, notification, etc? Or random ones?

Its normal if the ringtones are you on your SD card, for them to switch back to the default tone set if you hook up your phone via USB to your PC in disk drive mode (phone can no longer access the SD card). It usually switches back to your custom tones when you unhook USB, but occasionally it will stay on the defaults. I've also read of some instances where problems with the SD card will do the same thing.

You can try to move your SD files to your computer, and format the card, or try a different card.

In the case of the SD card issue, it always seems to switch the tones to the same default tone set. If you're getting different random tones, it might be a different issue.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetmom88:
I picked up a Verizon Galaxy Tab on Craigslist. I set it up and it seemed to be working fine. Then things started forceclosing,making the device nearly impossible to use. I keep trying to hard reset the Tab, via the settings app, also via the manual mode, it goes through the process as if it's resetting, but it will not clear the device. I'm still logged in to all my accounts. Is there some other way to clear the device back to the stock ROM? It is not rooted.

I had the same issue with my phone after installing Cyanogenmod well not exactly after but once I attempted to boot back to my phone decided to ignore any rom backup.

Hope this helped.

[Thunderbolt General] 1badblazer:
I am running Liquid Smooth 3.2 and for the last week or so I can not watch youtube while on 4g. Saturday I noticed I was on 3g and it worked but not on 4g. I re-flashed the rom and it worked right when I got done once on 4g but now back to not working. I can't watch it in the browser either. Netflix still works so I'm confused on what may be the issue. I searched and found some other people with the same problem for a day or so and usually different phone, but didn't find a fix.

Sir, I saw your video "How to build an Android App Part 1". Towards the end of the video, you connect your phone to your PC and click on the play button, a dialogue box appears, where you click OK and the application then runs on your phone. But when I click the play button on Eclipse, it opens a new XML file called 'main.out'. Please help me!

Thanks!
[Android TV General] AdamOutler:
you may need to update the SDK. Try reinstalling Eclipse Classic as well.

[Android TV General] anasdcool71:
I watched your second video too, sir. It's very hard to write a java program for an android app. I'm in class 10 and in our school we've started studying java since 9. So i could understand only 40% of the java program in your video. I guess i'll have to study java a lot more.

Thanks again.
[Android TV General] ephraim:
Adam, when android starts using c# instead of java will you also be doing a video tutorial on that?
[Android TV General] AdamOutler:
No. I dont want to deal with C# and it is not as refined as java. May show how to set it up but i have no intention of using it as a primary language. There is too much going for java.
[Android TV General] ephraim:
I see. Even if google makes it as a standard language can we still use java?
[Android TV General] AdamOutler:
We can cross that bridge when we get there. It would take something way bigger than the current Oracle case to do that. There's no reason to change languages now. Oracle must prove that their business is "damaged"... it's not, they tried several times to make a mobile OS and failed. They gave up. Google stepped in.
[Android TV General] ephraim:

Hi Adam Sir,

I really liked your videos and i am totally noob to java but i followed your videos and made my first own app. I felt really happy and from that day i was searching for you to say thanks for helping us as it really made my day. I made one app for my GF where it had only one button and i changed the name of the button to "surprise" and when she clicked it the text msg came saying how much i love her and it made her day. She check that app everyday and gets very happy. Thank you so much for all this. I will be waiting fit your next video.

[Android TV General] yakie47:
Hi Mr.Adam

one of the biggest unsolved problem here in xda is the problem of the "UKNOWN BASEBAND" on the galaxy s2, a lot of people believe to be a software problem & many others said that is a hardware problem as some of them claim that a small chip located next to the sim card slot on the motherboard gets corrupted which results the "unknown baseband" error, could you please shade some light on that & enlighten us what could be the source of such a problem..?

thanks.
[Android TV General] AdamOutler:
You have an invalid EFS partition.
[Android TV General] AdamOutler:
Yeah. But youd need schematics. You would take the usb signal and split it before it goes to the usb chip.

[Android TV General] santoshsadani009:
Hello sir,

I have followed your work from quite some time, and appreciate it a lot.

I have a Galaxy SL i9003 (OMAP 3630). Device has fair amount of development going on with some great dedicated developers working on it. But from past many days, development has been stopped due to no availability of kernel 3.0 although the sources are available. Devs are unable to continue because they don't know how to work with UART, and cannot build the kernel eventually. I read your guide on UART and thought it would be better to ask you here.

My question is, can you help the devs in any way possible to get the kernel atleast to boot?

The devs have a device ready to donate and can give the device to you if it helps you to develop for that device. Also, i am aware that you concentrate on hardware more and you do not have much free time because of being an elite recognized developer. Sorry if i troubled you or anyone in any way :). Thanks.

P.S. - Its a personal question, i don't represent i9003 community.
[Android TV General] AdamOutler:
Thank you for your interest in UART on the i9003. I am experiencing an unusually high PM volume on the i9003 at this time. While I would like to help out on all devices, I simply do not have time. I would recommend checking out some of my posts on utilization of external UART as well as internal uart.

Internal UART is more difficult to locate, but it provides a more permanent solution. External UART is easier to utilize on Samsung devices, but it must be disconnected to upload a new kernel.

Here is a diagram of external USB UART for Samsung devices.Using this diagram you should be able to construct your own UART device.

btw.. pass this on to your buddies. I've received 8 PMs about this today

I think Adam Outler should be a teacher for hardware people. Your way to explain things and your voice would be ideal for this job :D
[Android TV General] Griffrez:
Hey, Adam.

I'm not sure if you're the person to ask this. Even though you're probably the XDA member with most connections to developing, I reckon that you're more into hardware, rather than software, but, even so, and come to think of it, some hardware modding requires software modding as well. Anyway, to the point I go:

So, do you think that... in order to program for Android, as in, Apps, is it recommended to learn Java by itself before learning about the SDK and what not?

And also, even though you already got a similar question, where you said that it would take a lot more than what Oracle is doing to shutdown Java development, do you think that it is worth focusing on C#, right now?

Thanks in advance, and happy modding.

P.S.: I'm a newbie to modding and developing, I mean, not even a newbie, haven't done anything at all, but I do intend to become a Computer Engineer, so, I kinda want to start ahead.
[Android TV General] AdamOutler:
I think code literacy is more important than platform literacy. Lern 2 code. Pick something that suits your interest and just start learning. There's specifics to learn on every platform and every language. If you get a single language and platform under your belt, the rest will make more sense.
[Android TV General] Griffrez:
Thanks for the input. I'm looking into Java, as I am quite interested in the huge Android community.

Anyway, have fun with your projects, and hope to see more of you on XDA TV.

Hi Adam I need your help I tried putting Jellybean on my SGH-t139 but I must have did sumthin wrong b/c there still is no touch screen!!?

What do I do?

------------------

Also, unboxing videos are almost always worthless. But that is because it is usually just some dude playing with a phone. It is great getting the guided tour inside the devices like you do. Just watched the Nexus 7 video.

I had dropped my Nook Color in water, and fritzed the wifi card and the device would crash no matter the rom or install (sdcard or emmc). I finally managed to wipe the network stats, which was what was crashing the device, even after factory reset and hard reset. I was seriously considering taking off the back cover and hooking up UART and my first step was looking into your posts on the process. But I fixed it right before I was going to take the plunge.

So, in other words, no news here. Just a thank you.

Oh, and I am setting up a bounty to fix the touch screen issues on my sgh-t139. I am starting it off with some gummy bears my kid dropped under the couch and my back library of racy informational pms from inportb.

Keep up the good work!

Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??
[Android TV General] mfsr98:
Adam, first of all I'm a big fan and never miss any video of yours.

Secondly, I wanted to ask with you could help on kernel developing. Blackstone (an original WM 6.1 device, upgraded on XDA to WM 6.5) as now an Android ROM on NAND. But the problems are that Wifi, 2G and 3G are not working. This is due to the fact that it is a NAND kernel. fagyi (the ROM creator) makes very good kernels for the SD card (running Handled Reverse Engeneering Tool, HAReT, in order to execute Android, if you had a Windows Mobile device you should know) and is problem is that he can't port the kernel to NAND or developing the NAND kernel itself. If there's anything you could do, I would be really aprecciated.

Thank you for reading,

mfsr98
[Android TV General] AdamOutler:
^^ I'm not much of a kernel developer. Sorry.

It takes no experience, only determination. All the information you need is on google, XDATV and StackOverflow.com. Personally, I program with an IDE and Google.
[Android TV General] PantechBurstOwner:
Hey Adam, i love watching your videos and i wanted to ask a question. Have you ever heard of the Pantech Burst? Probably not, but we have had a community on XDA with maybe 5 threads that are actually important about the phone. Our main thread has about 110 pages now, and we are also (according to pantech) very close to an ICS update which is very exciting news. Our newest thread is really about making a ROM for the phone, we have it rooted, with CWM and we are trying to make CM7 or CM9 or ANYTHING!! We currently keep getting stuck every few steps we take. I would love it if you could help us out or give us some pointers, we have been doing this for months now and have had no luck! Again if you could help that would be AWESOME, heres the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1818618 We currently are stuck on an error in page 10 and we can't seem to figure it out! Any help, even if it's just with that error would be awesome. I wouldn't even mind setting up a donation fund to send you a pantech burst so you could help us lol!
