[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Thaxtonator:
Hey im sort of a noob with rooting, but I just rooted my galaxy tab 8.9 and installed clockwork recovery, and I went to install a custom rom but it wont turn on, nor will it boot to recovery. It shuts off after it gets to the samsung logo. I really need help and I thought maybe if I removed the cover and took out the battery it would stop the proccess because on the clockwork rom manager app I hit install from SD card to install the custom rom and it shut off and wouldnt go to recovery. Just my thoughts but I seriously need help with it. Thanks ahead of time!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
Rom manager doesn't work for gt8.9. You are not the first person who tried it, search in development forum for solution.

Here's my question. I want to start with an app or two, but ultimately want to make it to roms, themes, etc. My computer however is a bit on the low end. 1ghz dual core, 1gb ram. Decent storage though 250gb. Is this not enough, sufficient, or great. Thanks in advance

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigandrewgold:
when your phone has a faster clockspeed than your desktop, it is time for an upgrade.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Except clockspeed is not the almighty determinant of cpu power that years of marketing would lead you to believe. That CPU could still run circles around the phone CPU for various architectural reason I won't get into because it's too much to explain and no one will likely be interested. However, 1ghz is slow, especially if you're going to be using a Java based (that is, built on Java) IDE like Eclispe or Intellij IDEA. I've used Intellij IDEA on my 2 core Atom netbook when I'm not around my desktop and it's just painful (and Intellij is faster than Eclipse). Java anything eats RAM like a fat kid eats skittles and drags your CPU like you're running a race with him on your shoulders. Intellij IDEA eats up around 600mb of RAM being open and Eclipse is around the same.

That amount of RAM is also low as well. Your system is already using at least 50% of that + whatever more for your GPU if you do not have a separate GPU.

Can you use that computer to do some basic application tutorials, theme and do small mods? Yeah sure. Will it be annoying to do so? A little, as things lag and you probably don't realize it as you're used to that system.

If you're going to compile Android from the source, then that computer will never work out. Android source needs around 8-16gb of RAM for 2.3.x and 16-24gb for ICS. A 4 core CPU such as an i5 or i7 is also recommended.

You could build a decent computer from parts made for compiling for probably 700-900 excluding a monitor. One for just apps and anything else for probably 500-600.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Yeah definitely time for an upgrade.

I dev on my laptop. It's a Toshiba Satellite L675D-7104:

AMD Turion II Dual Core 2.5GHz cpu, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200, dual booting Windows 7 Home Premium and Fedora 16.

It's a decent mid-range computer, nothing too special. It does the job as far as building ROMs. It can build from source, but takes a pretty long time.

No need for that, I use old computers for linux test boxes quite a bit as you don't need that much to run it with just the command line. I'm sure someone will take it off your hands if you put it on Craigslist or give it to the thrift store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperkind:
Hi all

I've been seaching the web and XDA but I cant seem to find a solution to my problem.

I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM:

Android version: 4.01

Baseband: I9250XXKK1

KERNEL: 3.0.1-ga052f63 / android build@apa28 # 1

Version: ITL41F.I9250XWKK9

The phone is rooted as well.

My problem is, that everytime I try to upgrade my ROM and / or Kernel to 4.02 / 4.03 or a tweaked version of 4.04, I get Radio dropouts.

50% of the time a have a signal and 3g as well, but the sudently everything drops out for like 2 min, and then It'll all come back?

The only way my phone is stable is with the 4.01 kernel as descibed.

Is this b.c. I need a special ROM and/or KERNEL for my phone (I live in Denmark)

Please help me out

Best reg.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naikymen:
Hello everyone! I have a simple but quite annoying issue with my Defy, and I'd really apreciate your help to find some kind of solution or enlightenment =)

Every time I make a phonecall or recieve one, i loose all data conectivity. I don't know whether this happens because of weak carrier reception, thus the phone being unable to boost it's signal strength because of using it as a phone :confused: (just guessing here btw). Or because I am running Quarx's CM9 and this belongs in the bugreport thread (in which I am unable to post this and other problems I've been having :().

This is my first smartphone (and a damn good one!) so I don't know if this happens to every Defy owner, everyone or whoever.

I'd really appreciate any piece of wisdom you can share. Thanks in advance ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrannel:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrannel:
My phone is dead-stock and I absolutely have never experienced this issue. Had the phone since Nov. 2010.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
Seems that that is only true on 3g with a full bar. On less it switches to 2g so you won't get an interrupted call. I saw it today and I had good reseption. Try setting it to 3g(WCDMA) only and see it you still got it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJKV:
It is carrier related imho. My current carrier doesn't have simultaneous data+voice, but my previous carrier did. It is even explicitly mentioned somewhere in the website of my current carrier that data disconnects when calling. However this wasn't the case in my previous carrier, downloads etc would continue while I talked. So go ahead and blame your carrier :D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naikymen:
Thank you both once more!

I'll try and set it to 3G only mode and see what happens, then report back. I also will be switching carriers as soon as they let me take my phone number with me (sometime around april) and see if there's a difference.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAILHARD:
So i've had my MyTouch 4G for over a year now and The hardware was fine (with the exception of a few scratches) until a few days ago. The lock button had gotten harder to press. I could still press it until last night, when the button was just locked into place and WOULD NOT press. I removed the rubbery outline the phone has to get under the button but even pressing that didnt work. I didn't spill anything on it or do anything that could physically harm the phone. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Sometimes the power switches fail. More ofter, their flex cables break. It's a common fault in Nexus One, for example, and far less common, but happens in other phones.

Also, it might be mechanical failure.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
I have a mt4g with the exact problem you are describing. What I have to do, & what you can do to get your phone on, is carefully pull back the black rubber as you said you have done, you will see a silver dot with a silver ring around it (it is VERY small) and take a piece of foil and touch the silver dot and ring simultaniously for about 2 seconds, and it will power on. It's a real pain, but I have gotten so good at it, I can do it in about 5 seconds. If you can't get it fixed, that's how to get it on at least...

i put "--zArrAs network--", i reboot, and nothing changed,

k maybe im too stupid for this app :P
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
The app patches your framework-res, and that file is unique per version of Android (and sometimes by ROM), so I'm guessing it's an app issue. Not being ready for ICS. Since you're on CM9, I'm guessing you could just wait a few weeks, that feature might be built in to the rom itself. (It's built into CM7.)
[LG Optimus 2x] C4Pt4|N:
Yup I also changed it using CM settings.

Little effort for a nice customisation :-)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazaroonee:
Hi, I've recently rooted my phone and I'm quite happily running InsertCoin ICS ROM. Although I don't have any problems I'm curious to know why when I reboot into the bootloader and select the BOOTLOADER option from the menu is get numerous errors/warnings saying can't find PG58DIAG.zip, PG58DIAG.nbh and a number of other files. Why is this happening, is it merely the bootloader looking for these files so it can update the firmware? I recall having to drop a pg58diag.zip file (I think it was called that anyway) as part of the rooting process.

Finally what do these files update, I understand it's firmware but is it specifically the radio firmware as I've seen various references to updating radio firmware specifically and other references to just firmware as if it applies to more than just the radio.

Sorry if these questions have been asked before but I want to be very clear on what files relate to what when upgrading and also the differences in process to simply flash a new ROM which so far seems dead easy - simply pick a zip file from the SD card within 4ext Recovery and follow the installation instructions. It's only when there are dependencies on other files (such as firmware/radio) that things get more piecemeal and slightly confusing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toasterr:
I battery pulled out of CWM after getting into a wrong menu and not knowing how to get out of it. (mistake, I know)

Now it will either:

1) Get stuck at the boot animation

2) Boot to the main screen, lock up, and restart

I've wiped everything, data, dalvik, system, cache, to no avail.

Have I screwed it up beyond repair? I can get into the bootloader and into recovery, just not into anything else.

I *was* running AOKP b24 and Franco 18.4 if it makes any difference.

EDIT: I tried reflashing my ROMs, loading nandroids that I made in the past, all with the same result. Additionally, all nandroids crap out at the data restoring bit, saying "Error while restoring data!"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattymac:
Just reflash the factory images in fastboot and start fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toasterr:
will give it a shot and report back. should I unroot, relock bootloader as well? and then re root ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattymac:
No. Flashing the stock images will erase everything including root. Then just install Superuser via fastboot and cwm. You will be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toasterr:
thanks guys, that did the trick.

Is it fair to say that any bootlooping issue, as long as you can get into fastboot, can be fixed by reverting back to stock? new to android so i had no idea if that was going to make any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The "error while restoring data!" I've had too - I believe it points to a corrupted data partition. I experienced this twice after running the Modaco 4.0.2 ROM so I'm avoiding that one now.

The absolute minimal action that makes the device boot again, so far as I could tell, was to flash userdata.img from the stock ROM in fastboot. Factory reset in CWM didn't work. I used adb pull /sdcard ./sdcard to backup internal storage (and the nandroid backups I had on there!) because it gets erased.

I still don't know why it got corrupted in my case. Would welcome input from devs who know more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattymac:
Flashing the stock images is essentially resetting the operating system, baseband and radio. This will remove any corruption you have made on the device so yes it will solve any bootlooping issue. Cheers.

Hello all,

I have recently copied 8 gigs worth of music onto my SD card. What I am seeing is that the files are magically starting to disappear, and my LOST.DIR is starting to grow.

Why is this happening only to my music files, and how do I get this to stop. I understand LOST.DIR is for files that are considered corrupt if an abrupt change in status of the SD card is detected, but why only the music files? I have photos and other files on the SD card also? Is this a pre-cursor to a bad SD card?

In speaking with some folks over at the Moto forum this might be a result of one of two reasons:
