Do you have any suggestions on a fix that I can do for myself? I tried just placing the piece back on the spot it came off at and closing the phone, but that as you can see isn't working. lol

Excuse me for my ignorance..

Update:

Tried soldering it.. did not work.

Again, phones are made with tiny boards for a reason, to make the phone as small as possible. Thus, they are not meant to be repaired. Maybe if you took care of your phone and didn't drop it so often this wouldn't have happened ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Even the mfg wont repair the board they will just replace the board or the entire phone with a refurb of either

[General Questions and Answers] farris:
I'm looking for a tablet that has basically everything:

- Bluetooth

- GPS

- at least 10"screen with high resolution, no crappy 800x600

- 1080p mkv playback (too lazy to recode my movies)

- smooth!! No lags when scrolling for example.

- It would be nice if it's hackable, so I can flash ROMs that get posted here... I don't want a tablet that get only 1 update after a year.. but like my Desire Z, a lot of custom ROMs etc.

1080p and bluetooth is the most important for me. I liked the Transformer Prime, but after I heard of the GPS problems, that one is a no-go. The big manufacturers (Acer, Toshiba) have announced some Tegra 3 tablets but it's very quiet now... :( I also saw a lot of Chinese tablets that can play 1080p mkv, very nice, and very cheap... but no bluetooth nor GPS :(

Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't care about the brand of the tablet, it may be the weirdest brand I've ever heard, it only has to fullfill my criterias above.
[General Questions and Answers] farris:
Any ideas?

It seems very hard to find these tablets :(

How can I back it up before installing a new ROM? I want to install juggernaut, but I don't want to erase all my data! Help! Please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AJ26T:
Go into recovery and run a backup

That will back up entire stock rom

I suggest doing this

If u want to back up ur personal data n apps use titanium backup or MyBack up pro
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PENKO956:
just back up your data with titanium backup

install new rom

restore data with titanium.

But won't factory reset erase everything in it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Devilman539:
You are in the wrong forum buddy, this belongs in general. To answer you're question. You need to boot into recovery, under backup and restore you are going to select backup and this will create an image of your current rom or stock os. It's like taking a picture that you can restore if you don't like what ever rom you flash. It even copies text msgs and apps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
I accidentally scratched some black paint off of the earpiece grate while getting some dirt out. I can't seem to find a replacement grate online. I don't know if I'm searching for the wrong thing but I can't seem to find it online. Is there any way I can pick one up without purchasing a whole new display?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yadao:
No clue.

Black Sharpie?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
The screen/bezel unit comes in one piece.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
I see screens being sold without the grate online. It actually isn't seamless, as the grate is a metal and if you can find a way to grip it, it wiggles a little. Sharpie is starting to seem like a good idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xIC-MACIx:
You could be the perfect candidate for THIS...:D

On a more serious note, I would think sharpie would just rub off eventually. If you know how to disassemble the phone, you could try repainting it, that is, if the scratch bothers you enough. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
You can try a paint pen, like the ones used for painting small details on model cars and airplanes. Hobby shops usually carry them. Just lay down some masking tape on the glass to keep it clean while doing the painting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
I just did a quick Photoshop to see how it would look but it looks kind of tacky (If I could find a replacement, I' definitely do it anyway). I might just end up painting it if sharpie doesn't work. I've already disassembled the phone out of boredom
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevec187:
Hello,

Wondering if anyone can shed some light on why my Tab keeps turning off when left for several hours? A perfect example is leaving it on in the morning with just uTorrent running and when I return in the evening its turned itself off. Has only been doing this for a few days for a few weeks, prior to that it was fine.

Here's the spec:

GT-P7500 with stock Rom

3.2

P7500XXKL4

Pershoot kernel 2.6.36.4

HTJ85B P7500DXLA2

Any ideas as to why this is happening would be really appreciated.

Thanks guys

:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antic604:
Not really a solution to your problem, but does it also happen when there is no torrent client running in the background? I found that whichever client I use it usually freezes after some time and I have to reboot the Tab (I'm on GalaxyTask 14 now, but it was the same on v13 and CM9), so maybe this is a cause of what you're experiencing?

I take it you ruled out power saving settings or that it ran out of battery, right? :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevec187:
Well it never used to go off and I could leave it on all day downloading and it was fine. Last night it was left on with no torrent running and was on this morning, ran uTorrent this morning though and it was off when I got home. It never ever done this until recently however?

No settings have been changed in respect of power management so it's not that no ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overscorp:
maybe the best and safest option is to link it to odin and flash a stock rom, without any kernels. and see if the issue remains mate.

if this post helped you in any way, please hit thanks button :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
There seems to be alot of issues with the stock HC ROM's would suggest you try a cooked ROM or something
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antic604:
So, have you tested it more? Is there a correlation between the GTab turning off and torrent running in the background? For me it also started quite recently, although I can't really say when as I usually torrent stuff on my laptop and then transfer to GTab. I was trying 2-3 torrent clients and it was all the same - the GTab was freezing after a while, in particular when I watched something.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
I guess too much stress on the GPU forces the tablet to save itself and shut off. Even the smallest torrent client eat's up about 100% GPU if not set to control properly. The same applies to the tablet, it lags hard without a performance governor to set the GPU @ 100%
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevec187:
Well it's definitely tTorrent that's been causing it to shutdown (sorry called it uTorrent earlier in the thread).

Have run it all day and through the night with nothing running and it stays on with no issues. So, as others have mentioned the same problem with other clients does anyone know of any performance governor software that can manage the GPU and stop it getting spanked?

Would also be nice to know why this has suddenly happened, I've been thinking that this has only started to happen since an update via Kies a few weeks back.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Like it's mentioned, use pershoot's kernel, to OC it and use something like Nofrills, it's free to manage the governor and I/O
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR3TON:
Hi,

I recently rooted my Desire HD and have attempted to install the ICECOLDSANDWHICH 4.0.3 ROM. I followed a tutorial where I booted into clockwork recovery and cleared my cache then installed the ROM from the update.zip on the SD card where I had put it. The ROM seemed of to installed successfully as it rebooted, but I am not stuck on the ICS boot screen with falling hexagons in a loop. I thought at first that it may take a long time to start up first time but it has been like this for over 20 minutes.

How can I fix my issue?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cole_himself:
I would suggest a full wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe. THEN install your ROM. You should work just fine then. Just try it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
Ccurrently trying to get the SkyGO app working on the HD2.

One of the devs has suggested that for the app to work properly we need a Kernel with "ro.secure=1" set in it.

Currently I am bouncing between Typhoon 3.7.6 (which uses tytung's r14 kernel) and NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3 (tytungs ICSr1 Kernel I believe)

Can anyone tell me how to find out if the kernel has this parameter set. If not how easy would it be for me to add it and recompile the kernel (pointers to kernel de/recompilation threads appreciated!

I'm not to worried about doing it myself if I have to.

TIA

mods - if this is in the wrong forum I apologise in advance, could you move it for me if it is :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
This is a question. [Q&A]
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
Thanks for the useful and insightful response

FYI - I realised that it might be after I submitted it! Which is why I caveated the post at the end.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] magnus48:
this parameter is in the initrd.gz in the kernel in the boot folder of the ROM.

You should extract it and inside there is a file called default.prop

extract

mkdir initdir

cd initdir

zcat ../initrd.gz | cpio -i -d

compress

cd initdir

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../initrd.gz

Each line in the file default.prop is an attribute assignment. There we need to

Note the two properties: ro.secure, and ro.debuggable. . If ro.secure = 0 is allowed us to run the adb root command.

Usually we put the core ROOT refers to the ro.secure = 0. ROOT permission to refer to the general said on the phone

A license management program (Superuser.apk) procedures for the root user can grant permission.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bologna:
look here this great kernel should have ro.secure set to 1
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
it doesn't, it's based on Tytung's Kernel, Tytung's doesn't so I'm not suprised that dorimnax's "greatest ever" (sic) doesn't teither
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
big thanks to magnus48, have decompressed the kernel, changed ro.secure to 1, recompressed, copied to /boot

Phone booted (which suprised me) and my SkyGo App now works.

Yay
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
So, I can either change the value in my kernel OR I can edit default.prop and reboot??

Won't the values in default.prop get overwritten on boot??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bologna:
First question : Why of this sarcastic reply?

Second question : Can you please share your skygo working app, telling us what's the kernel you're using to have it working?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] magnus48:
forget this way. It did not work when rebooting the kernel overwrites the deafult.prop file.

The change should be done inside initrd.gz
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jwchips:
You should be able to pull it, make changes and push it back to phone via adb. Useful if you don't want to reflash
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
default.prop is in the initrd.gz, this is extracted when the phone boots, so any changes you make to default.prop WILL be overwritten when the phone boots.

You have to make the changes inside the initrd.gz file.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
I don't quite hold dorimanx in quite the high esteem that others do, his work is good but it can be rushed as shown by his 5.x series of Kernels.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CR5N:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnkst:
What about SD builds?

I can access and edit default.prop on my SD build after the phone has booted. This seems to give me access to Sky News at least. But I still can't get premium channels. Do you think I still need to edit initrd.gz as well or is that now redundant?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
No, you will need to edit your initrd.gz

Before I did I could access Sky News only, afterwards the Sky world was my Oyster!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnkst:
Thanks Bob. Is there anything else I should edit while I'm at it?

Currently after booting, my default.prop contains the following attributes:

ro.secure=0 (need to change this to 1)

ro.allow.mock.location=1

ro.debuggable=1

persist.service.adb.enable=1

I'm particularly suspicious of the last one!

Also... what should I use to edit default.prop within initrd.gz? I tried unzipping it with 7zip, editing the initrd file with a hex editor and re-zipping but it created a significantly smaller file...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobjbain:
I only ever changed ro.secure, don't have the phone any more so can't check the other values.

To edit the default.prop you need to uncompress the initrd.gz then recompress it using the following linux commands

extract

mkdir initdir
cd initdir
zcat ../initrd.gz | cpio -i -d

compress

cd initdir
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../initrd.gz

As I run windows I downloaded and installed cygwin and used that to uncompress and recompress the kernel.

I edited the default.prop in windows but you can use vi within cygwin if you want.

If you're uncomfortable doing this then attach your kernel to a post and I can do it for you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GingaB:
Hello mate. Ive tried to change the ro.secure=0 in the built prop within the boot.img directory to ro.secure=1 via dsixda kitchen but its not booting so im not sure what Im doing wrong. Furthermore I cant find initrd.gz within the default prop!!? Any chance you could do this for me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Killer Okain:
Seems to be somewhat common but no fix to be found...

Using CM7.1

Was working perfectly for a month.

Seemed to happen out of no where, no new apps installed or settings changed. The phone will vibrate for incoming calls, haptic, everything except SMS.

Using GoSMS but it does the same with the stock messanging app. Vibration is turned on in all the system and messanging settings. In fact, when I test settings in GoSMS it reports "vibration on".

Tried clearing the dalvik cache and tried installing this app but it won't show anywhere in the app drawer and I can't find it anywhere on the phone despite the market saying its installed. Unfortunate becasue it seems this app was designed for this very issue with desire/insprire.

Anyone have a fix for this or a method I could get the above app to install properly?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gregsarg:
edit.....It's looking like an app issue......

never mind on the rom repair part....sorry

mods can delete....g
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
Gregsarg was actually probably right the first time. It doesn't seem to be an APP issue (as all MMS apps have the same lack of vibrate), but a broader issue.

His suggestion to install CM7 on top of itself is likely the simplest attempt at solution since you haven't found a specific solution through your searches.

I also tried the GoodVibrations.apk and it only shows in airdroid, mybackup, and managing all apps... It doesn't even have the 'open' command on the market menu after installing it >.>
[HTC Inspire 4G] Killer Okain:
Thanks. Unfortunately I didn't see this suggestion before it was edited out. What exactly is meant by install CM7 on top of itself? Through clockwork I presume?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
Yeah, just flash the SAME rom again (after backing up AND without wiping anything), and your settings should stay in place.
[HTC Inspire 4G] suprtrukr425:
There is also a setting in the stock CM sms app that controls vibration, which is turned off by default.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Killer Okain:
Yeah vibrate in the stock SMS program is on. While I haven't gotten around to reflashing just yet I have noticed a few other things that lead me to believe its a ROM issue. Sometimes when I put the phone on silent it turns off all system vibrations even after coming off silent. I have to go back in and turn vibration back on. This is intermittent. Also, out of the blue the phone started vibrating during calls, come to find out "vibrate every 45 seconds during outgoing calls" was magically turned on.

It WILL vibrate when an SMS arrives if I'm on a call. :confused: Swell.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Killer Okain:
Flashed the new 7.2 nightly and the problem still exists. Everything remained intact after the flash so I figure I'll just do a full wipe/factory reset and flash the new nightly again and start over. Hopefully whatever caused this won't carry over with titanium restoring apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
Do the full wipe, install the rom... then get a friend to send you text messages BEFORE you restore from Titanium, and then after....

Easy to isolate if you're carrying the issue from ROM to ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Had the same issue, could find no fix. Used vibrate tools from the market and no issues for a week or so now..

*signed
[HTC Inspire 4G] Killer Okain:
That did it thanks! Saved me from having to do a full wipe. Phone is back to vibrating with SMS and I can change the vibration pattern. Nice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Cool, glad it worked for you. I really wish I knew what happened though, it's kind of bugging me.

Meh, technology..

*signed
[HTC Inspire 4G] Killer Okain:
Well I'll add this... Out of curiosity I removed the vibrate tools app and everything is still operating as designed. So whatever that app turned on has stuck.
