[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
Sounds like you used the wrong odin files. if your screen is showing a galaxy s 4g logo then you must have mistakenly flashed a galaxy s 4g odin/heimdall package. on the back of your phone what is the model number. What on earth is JFS? ive heard of JFD which is the stock firmware that the phone shipped with.

If you flashed the wrong bootloader you are more or less stuck between a rock and a hardplace and will require a jtag. now the fact that teh screen does turn on is a good thing.

You need to keep trying to get it into download mode maybe try using a jig. Once youve gotten it into download mode try every single usb port you can find on your pc. When i need to odin i need to use one of my usb ports on the rear io panel none of the others will work. Once you get odin running and recognizing your device use the files posted in my sig as the odin files. any others and i cant help you cuz i dont know what your source is. Odin should be able to recover your device if it is still booting to the splash screen.

If for whatever reason you cant boot into download mode but can get into recovery here is what you do: make sure you have the android SDK installed (dont know what that is go here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and follow their directions) then open up command prompt while in recovery type the following command: adb reboot bootloader this should put you into download mode. If nothing ive mentioned works you may require a JTAG there is a company called MOBILETECHVIDEOS (http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/) that has a JTAG service.

Good luck

-Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Hi Guys,

I just want to know if anyone of you have had dropped there Note on the floor or off the bed or off the table?

How did it go?

I know I did. I just got a call from someone unexpectedly while my Note was charging. It was one of those calls that caught me really offguard and I was near sleep at that time.

And I really was thrown offguard that I slipped the Note off my hands and into the.floor.. Oh sh*t was all I could utter.

Good thing our second floor in our house was.made of wood or else I could have kiss the phone goodbye.

Anyone experiencing the same more or less accident than what I had?

Care to share guys?

dropped it enough times (not to remember how many) on to carpeted floors. dropped it about 6 times onto hard floor (accidentally), twice hard enought to dislodge the official flip case and spen and battery but phone has survived without a scratch (once it had fallen flat on screen but with flip cover covering it on to hard floor and luckily survived the fall from about 2 - 3 feet height). once my child dropped it through the gap in the sofa bed and screen edge landed on the metal rods of the sofa bed and screen survived but small dent on the plastic like thing surrounding the raised screen glass.

been lucky so far but need to insure the phone soon.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcespon:
4 times. One from 3 feet on rough asphalt. Bottom metal border scratched, screen intact.

The others were from 1 - 2 feet on hard but smooth floor, no consequences at all.

I have more complains about the back cover, it's getting worn out (the texture on the back is disspearing on some parts) from just resting the phone on tables.

Fortunately it's cheap to replace.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PVTD:
I work in a bar, wearing a tabard with front pockets where I put everything on as I cannot reach my pants pockets when wearing it.

Basicly it's always in front of me, while I keep leaning against the bar furniture with iron pins sticking out (to hang bottle openers and towels.).

I broke me 60$ watch glass against one of the pins, but haven't scratched the phone a single time, while (no kidding) I keep hitting it with all the stuff in my front pockets.

So, you might call me lucky for 2 reasons, 1. not breaking my screen or 2. having such awesome phone!

I might think about placing a custom screen protection from a dealer who send the wrong size of screen protectors for a 10" tablet who i can cut out, then use the metal cover I bought (Forgot the name, but is the one you protect the side of the phone with, 4 letter name)

I also dropped it from 1.5m high on tiles andit jumped quite far away with an epic slide, not a dam scratch :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy566:
Hi all,

I used to have a issue on my Galaxy S running stock Gingerbread I changed the screen lock to PIN and set it to 7890 the bottom row on keyboard it worked perfectly for quite some time then all of a sudden I went to unlock it put in 7890 dead on and it said "Sorry Try Again" constantly.

I had Gingerbread v2.3.3 on it no mods etc.

This also happened on my Samsung Galaxy Tab when I got the Gingerbread update exactly same password 7890 accepted for some time then just didn't work again.

I ended up booting into recovery on both phones and doing a factory reset.

I was just wondering how it happened and if it's a flaw in software or what.

[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
Isn't Galaxy Nexus coming to India soon? It definitely has those things (though battery life preferred with custom kernel) and is probably of choice (until the new quadcores come out in a few months anyway) for tinkering. But I'm not sure you can get it for $475, unless they offer it more cheaply there. I got mine for $550ish, and that's considered cheap here.

Umm.. If you look for design and Sense UI, go for HTC. But if you want a performance device then I would suggest Samsung R or S Plus.

Thought for 23k you can even get Optimus 2x or Optimus 3D.

But if your just gonna stick with Samsung and HTC. I would suggest Samsung for the performance. No wonder HTC's Sense UI is far better than any other device out there but its just your decision whether wanna go with Design and Looks or Performance and Built Quality! :D

[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
I see. For that price, you might consider the HTC Sensation. I think the HTC Rezound occasionally gets that low (say with special promotions), but I can't find any at this moment.

I'm not familiar with any of the "cheaper" manufacturers (Huawei or the like) but it might be something to look into.
[General Questions and Answers] Akzey:
If your not in a hurry to get a phone. I would suggest you too wait for like till April or May. There are like 20+ phones getting launched by then.

HTC's One series are gonna be available globally by April. Even LG, Samsung, Sony has launched some new phones and they all comes with ICS 4.

So you may wait for sometime and I bet its worth waiting for. :)
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
That's actually a good point. Old phones usually take a price dip when their successor comes out. The HTC Rezound is sure to take one when the One X comes out, for instance, similarly for the Samsung Galaxy S2 when the S3 comes out.

So if you can wait, I'm going to speculate that those phones might dip down into your (OP's) price range. (But you should allow for a margin of error ;) ).

but no sd card option:eek::eek::mad:!!

I'm interested in getting one this year. will see.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] th3discodancer:
I know, right? Quite a bit of shame: fab specs like that and no sdcard slot.

I think i will definitely go with one of 2, as well. Which one, depends on the pricing.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
Thats ok. but the reason i will try after some reviews from the net is, the battery life.

I hope the new processor and the whole handset will be different from the others. That is something i like in sony phones. it is the sd card that we all will think about before buying. we have to make some sacrifices if we buy those.

Hmmmm......
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] KugXel:
Waiting!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] th3discodancer:
The Chipset used in them is considered to give out the best performance/battery graph in the contemporary world. Plus, i dont really care about the battery life, if it can last about 7 hours with heavy usage, which almost all phones do, nowadays.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arielVengeance:
dual core series and only 1ghz..eventho other brand going to quad core soon..idk if these models going to sell much..mayb because of their design and price range..well xperia S confirm will be popular.. :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] emmanuelcassar:
the thing without a card slot really bothers me.. but I surely gonna buy the Xperia U to replace my Mini.. don't want a huge phone.. wants a smallest dual core phone out there and I think this years this gonna be the smallest..

small phone like the mini is out of trend now :/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
I'm sorry to say but all people dont have a thousand dollars to buy quad core phones. this is dual core and you dont use phones to do video/audio production on it. you use it for gaming and calls mostly. i dont see the point why you need such quad core, and to do what? there are budget buyers that suits well to them so i think 260 euros as the starting price pretty much ok. in the end of the year we might end some good phones with much cheaper priced ones.

So, dont think one way, think both sides please...

Thank you!:)

My SGR has stopped vibrating, regardless of the setting. I noticed it about an hour ago.

I can confirm that it was working about 12 hours ago.

I am running InfectedROM V1 on ardatdat's keenal v1.5

Anybody got any ideas what is wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
I can't understand what could have caused this, did you bump /drop you handset anywhere recently ? If yes then it can be some hardware issue.

Check your recently installed apps, they maybe interfering with the vibrator settings though that's a remote possibility but do check.

If its a software bug then flashing the ROM/kernel again should solve the problem. But keep this as the last option if it seems there's no other way out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
It started working. On its own.

I had it in my pocket, got a text and it vibrated.

Funny issue. I can't understand what happened. But I am glad I don't have to take it in for servicing.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
That's good ! :)

I think it must be a software bug which caused it then.

It was solved as you may have restarted your handset but still do observe if it stops vibrating intermittently. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Actually I did a soft reset when I noticed it, that did not fix it.

I tried changing the vibration settings randomly and all but nothing worked.

I have got no idea what happened. But I have been checking the vibration every hour or so and it hasn't stopped working after that.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
It has stopped vibrating again.

This is so irritating. I miss calls and texts because of this.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Darn ! :mad:

That's why I told you to monitor it. Now I think it could be a software issue. If it was a hardware one then it shouldn't have started working again.

Check if a restart solves the issue. Do remove the battery for a few secs before switching it on again.

If it works its a software bug.

Did you check the installed apps if they are interfering with the settings ?

Do check the settings for Vibration intensity if they are at default.

Check and reply here buddy though I think you'll need to take it to the service center if even flashing stock ROM doesn't solve the issue. :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
I finally found out the problem and the solution. Was googling about it and a guy with SGS2 had posted on some forums that his vibration stops working after removing headphones. He also gave a solution to change the vibration settings to 'never' and back.

I tried that but it didn't work.

Then I tried replugging my earphones and the vibration immediately started working.

I don't understand what could be causing this issue but atleast I got a fix now.

Seems software related as you said. Maybe it is fault with either the customROM or the custom kernel. Would be pretty weird to have bugs like this in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
There are no such bugs on Samsung stock ROM.

You'll need to request #ardatdat & #eaglerazor12 to look into the issue and they will definitely help you. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Just a guess but it sounds like the battery is not calibrated correctly. I'd say drain it with the phone on to dead (let android shut itself down) keep it off and fully charge over night. See if that helps I did a few tricks with my Phone and have not seen the issue come up at all lately. I would also maybe suggest going to a different rom and kernel (we do have newer ones O.o)
