Hey, I was wondering if this is whats known as a 'boot loop' and extra point for telling me what I did wrong.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] roc_vader:
'boot loop' is a phone state when your phone keeps rebooting without you doing anything, caused mostly due to native memory dumps. If adb gets attached, most probably its NOT a boot loop (though your phone may be restarting due to another reason). If indeed adb is attached, try to execute the following command :

- adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

This may give us a better understanding about what you are doing wrong

-----------

Looks like something using libc has a segmentation fault. From the looks of it, it may just be a plugin trying to allocate more memory than VM budget. Anycase, try booting to fastboot mode and reboot with factory reset by following command:

-fastboot reboot -w
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] speakfor:
Thanks for clarifying that up for me. It turns out in this case I used the wrong boot.img (or perhaps did not flash it twice?). After correcting that, this behavior has stopped.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] roc_vader:
You do not need to flash the boot image twice. Anyways, if it works, thats good enuf

It's confirmed that the S3 will have ceramic body

http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-production-orders-setting-records

About ceramic body... I don't speak english that good but .. by saying ceramic body they mean this?

http://largeceramicvases.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Vase-Ceramic1.jpg

Wouldn't the phone break in the first drop if they put ceramic body? I know this sounds really stupid but I have no idea what they mean by saying Ceramic body..
[Android General] godutch:
I don't think Samsung will be allowed to create phones that break on first drop, unfortunately Apple has already patented that technology. I guess Samsung will need to work around that and create a phone that withstands drops :(
[Android General] xmoo:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA +1 for that Apple patent =)

Mayb a part, or something inside the phone will be ceramic.

I have a appointment with Samsung today, hope to get some info about the SGS3.
[Android General] ephraim:
There was already a thread created about it and closed by mods. Either post it in the dedicated sgs3 thread or don't create threads like this as it is not related to sgs2.

So, ceramic body could be something very strong, light and shiny.
[Android General] yy1155:
Ceramic? Is new; But I like the carbon fiber and drawing stainless steel
[Android General] Mwinggg:
ceramic like the material used on rado watches
[Android General] PunkOz:
Where's the dedicated Sgs3 thread? and sorry, I always try to post in the right section, I guess this is the first time i post in the wrong section D: and I thought it was related about sgs2 since it's the phone that comes after S2(?)

[Android General] sesamo:
There are some guns with ceramic components. The Glock22 is supposed to have a ceramic body. I don't think it will be your regular ceramic used in pottery :-)

[Android General] jhayton:
more often then not, technology makes it way through the military sector first, then onto the the consumer sector. Ceramic and its composites have been in military use for some time and offer great strength and low weight. No, its not your mothers vase material lol. I look forward to this.
[Android General] PunkOz:
I hope they don't make a phone easy to break only because people were complaining about it feeling cheap.. I mean that's one of the reasons why I bought my Sgs2, Because its strong as f*** :)

[Android General] russianzilla:
That's what I was thinking, too. If that's what they're going for, it could be a good idea. Honestly, even if they were going to just use ceramic, I'd be fine with it, since it'd be a nice change of pace from the black/white plastic bodies on every single Samsung phone ever.
[Android General] MiG123:
only possible ceramic material i can think of for this purpose would be ceramic matrix composites(CMCs), the same material used in high end disc brakes as well as the underbelly of the space shuttle.

which I highly doubt since it's a real expensive and high tech material hardly ever used for mass market consumer products.

Again, as long as it's not all plastic, it's fine with me. I've always preferred HTC phones for that reason: they incorporate other materials and finishes into their phones.
[Android General] override182:
I really like HTC but what i hate that is when u get a dent on the body. It freaking annoys me. My old desire HD has it on its rear camera area.. my old htc sensation has it near the front camera grills and my old htc desire has it on its back.

Metal based is fantastic, but u will feel the pain when its scratched. My Galaxy S2 was accidentally dropped thrice and it faced some marking but not as severe as a HTV device does.

And after 3 htc, one samsung.. i learned that i must wear a protective case at all time.
[Android General] leo.o:
I heard about the ceramic body....sounds wicked! cant wait.
[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
I want to return to the stock recovery for my Sensation 4G, so I can get the OTA ICS update when it's finally available.

Previously I used the Android Recovery Manager tool for this, but it doesn't have the most current recovery image for my software version (1.50.531.1).

Is there an alternative method I can use to return to the stock recovery? (Pardon my n00bery.)
[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
PS: Meant to mention that I'm already on the stock ROM and would prefer not to have to completely reflash the RUU. All I need is the right recovery and I'll be set.
[HTC Sensation] abhishek.magaji:
To get official updates you should revert back to stock and have to flash a suitable RUU for your phone..

If you find my ans useful please hit thanks
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You can use any recovery from an RUU to get back to stock recovery - they aren't RUU specific.

However, it's better to get back to stock using an RUU as flashing an OTA over a rooted phone can create problems. You can always root again afterwards if you want to

Good thing about S-OFF is you won't lose it by flashing an RUU so you have no issues there
[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
So you're saying that I could get back to stock recovery by using Android Recovery Manager and flashing the recovery from a software version earlier than my current 1.50.531.1?

I appreciate the note about not flashing an OTA update while rooted. I'll definitely avoid that.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yep, I've attached the recovery from 1.50.401.1 to this post
[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
Ooh! Many thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Sensation-al!:
Why not wait for a custom rom with this as base? Makes more sense to me :/
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
There are already a load out - go look in the Dev forum ;)
[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
Actually, I am curious about the "don't flash OTA while rooted" bit. I've done this before without a problem, but hadn't heard any warnings before either. Just wondering if there is somewhere I can go to read more about this.

As to why I don't just wait for a custom ROM -- won't it be easier to flash a custom ICS ROM coming from HTC's stock ICS RUU rather than trying to get there from my current stock gingerbread ROM? Just trying to make things easier on myself, I spoze.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
So long as you flash the right FW package before booting the custom ROM it'll work fine

As for no OTA no a rooted phone it's traditionally been advised against as the OTA can break a bit of the System so it's always recommended to not flash an OTA on a rooted phone
[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
In that case, I'd say the only thing holding me back from going the custom route is finding a ROM that's as reliable as stock. As much as I love custom ROMs, my experience has been that a few weeks in I realize that some key feature that I rely on is broken, so I wind up going back to stock. Although I do follow the dev forum closely, and am super intrigued by some of the current ROMs, Virtuous Inquisition in particular. Once their list of bugs is a little more lean, I'll probably get to flashing that one.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
The only main bug IMO is the Exchange issue not syncing. Other than that, for me, nothing holding me back from using this as my daily driver. But users may vary I guess. For me, bluetooth a2dp is the top of my list because I use a bt speaker in my truck. Other than that the VI 4.0 rom is pretty nifty.

The tracker link you posted, while lists a lot of outstanding issue, IMO are stemmed from the rom being modified in some way. I am not saying that all the issues will be solved by just flashing the unmodified rom, because there was an issue with the bundled kernel in 4.0 not working really well with the browsers. Another member repacked it with a kernel that worked and all is good again.

So I say make a backup of your stock setup and try it out. What do you have to loose? If you like stock, stick with stock. If you like to modify your stuff like most do here, then do a nandroid and start flashing! :)
[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
Well, I'm easily tempted so now I probably will, but doesn't a nandroid backup only get me halfway there? If I find myself wanting to restore that backup I'll need to flash my old firmware again, right? I guess I'm just nervous about messing with my firmware since I've never done that before, but it sounds like I should probably just get over it. =)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Hi,

I've gt some problem in ma fone.I am facing this issue from yesterday.

The issue is that the fone shutdowns abnormally

First time when i faced the issue, i was only using whatsapp from 2-3 hrs.. and all of a sudden it went black..shutdown

Even after restarting the fone, the same thing was happening..

after 2-3 attempts, it began to function properly

Second time was today, while listening to music.

After 3-4 attempts, it began to work properly.

First i thought that it mite be due to overheating. bt even after removing the battery for a while, it didn't solve d prob.

Now its 30days from d day i had purchased dis fone from letsbuy. i have 45day replacement guarantee from letsbuy.

I have a Question to u ppl, is dis genuine issue in android/Galaxt R ??

shall i replace dis fone and ask for Refund (Dnt feel like giving d fone)

Particularly d issue occurs at start-up process, i.e 'Media Scanner Running, Usb Storage ...etc'

Moreover m Using Stock Rom 2.3.5 with 8gb external_sd_card

and sd_card is 1-1.4GB free
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
similar thing happened to me also can you check the battery status was it the same as attached screen shot when u start ur mobile battery dropped more than 20 to 30 %.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
How about flashing the stock ROM once again and clearing the cache by going into recovery ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
That would:

1. Void Warranty ?

2. Take Time

I want to confirm asap.

I can factory reset the phone, at least.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Well, i dont see a major drop in ma battery usage. Its pretty normal. I had charged d fone in morn up to 80%. After n hour of usage, i faced this prob. Uptill now i.e. upto 4hrs from prob, its working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] akshatsourav:
first try to factry reset your phone..

from settings - privecy !!

if it didnt help then re flash stock rom of ur country...

and flashing ur stock rom doent voids your warrenty unless u flash any kernal or root ur fone....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
I am new to flashing ROM and all...

Can you post any reference link from this site ?? that would be much helpful

Update: uptil nw i.e. after 12hrs of usage, no problems faced...!!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] akshatsourav:
den njoy with your galqxy r...

;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
That's good !

But if it starts to act up once again the first try a Factory Reset along with clearing the cache it might help. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
i did factory rest and how can we clear the cache, i am on stock ROM with out rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
So you are also in the same boat ?

Here's what you need to do. . .

1. Switch of the mobile completely.

2. Hold POWER + HOME + VOLUMEUP at once to go into recovery mode.

Now select wipe cache and you are done.

Hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
That's the way to enter apx mode. To enter recovery you must: 1) hold POWER untill splash screen, 2) release POWER and press VOLUME UP + HOME until you see "booting android recovery" :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Cooleagle & m.kochan10 thanks you for replying, I’ve done factory reset and cleared the cache, hope this will solve my problem..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Oops my bad ! Shouldn't have put the + in between Home & Power.

It completely changed its meaning. :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
yepp one little "+" that makes a huge difference ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coolcorner:
Guys, check this last/recent review on flipkart titled "bad phone", he has mentioned that his phone wouldn't power up with SIM inserted, is it the same issue people are facing, when R dies off, or refuses to boot?? It is a very weird issue. Well, atleast this would help someone to restore to stock and take it back to CC. But, I don't know how can they have such a hardware issue... Hmm!

Here is the link: http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-gal...H?pid=MOBD2WHYV4XMB2NF&sort_order=most-recent
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
mine was similar kind of issue but when i remove my SIM card and start the mobile it will start, after starting i will put my SIM card back i will work fine this happened twice for me and i did the same thing, yesterday i did factory reset and cleared the cache and until now i haven't faced any problem need to see if it occurs again i will take to customer care.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Hmmm nice...if u aint facing the issue

I still wonder what could be root cause of this error ??

Does a factory rest erase all the msg ?? i m still facing the issue, havent done any thin wid it..s i dont get time on weekdays..

surely wld do 2day/2mrw..!!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
yes it clears everything, so better to take back up before doing this with the help of KIES, after factory reset i've formatted my SD card and cleared cache also..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Hmmm thanks for the reply..

But do reply if u still face the issue
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
sure i will update you if i face it again, from yesterday i haven't faced it..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Hey i have figured the problem in my fone....

It starts to shutdown only when it tries to access the network...

is there any link over here addressing the same prob ??

what is CM7? DO I NEED IT INSTALL CM7 AS WELL?

OR I CAN JUST USE 407 Olleh Rom?
[Streak 5 General] sbdolphine:
CM(Cyanogen Mod)is one of the famous custom ROM at android.

Number follows at 'CM' is shows you that what's the base version of Android.

CM6 - It bases on Froyo version.

CM7 - It bases on Gingerbread version.

CM8 - (if it releases)It bases on Honeycomb version. But It didn't exists.

CM9 - It bases on Ice Cream Sandwich Version.

Originally this CM only supports limited kinds of devices but developers were edit it to able to use on other devices(this works calls 'porting'). Developer calls hPa ports other device's CM7 to Streak.(and also MIUI)

CM7 is fast and stable. But In my opinion, CM's battery consume late is higher than other ROM. I don't know other people agree with my opinion. But battery seriously drains.

Except that CM7 is fine. If you worry about this Problem. I recommend you to Use DSC ROM. It's also fast and stable. You can find it at below URL.

[Streak 5 General] arjunsheth:
Dear warboat, thank you for those steps. I shall try to install cm7 today. One question though, am I required to root my steak? I am already running 407 olleh rom on my device. Do I just start with the latter part of instructions specific to cm7?

Thank you.
[Streak 5 General] warboat:
No, you do not need to root to install CM7. Installing CM7 will also root your Streak in the process.

Make sure you have the files needed and just start with instructions after the 407 install.
[Streak 5 General] warboat:
CM7

I haven't had problems with calls so far although I have not used it extensively with calls.

The issues with touchscreen during calls in 407 ROM is mainly due to the proximity sensor handling. This issue can be fixed by editing build.prop with proximity sensor delay changes. In CM7, the proximity sensor works fine during calls and there is no touchscreen issue.

SMS works properly and doesn't get converted like in stock 407 Olleh ROM (there is a build.prop fix for this).

I have always felt the Streak was not the best at reception compared to other smartphones I have. I have three Streaks and I have noticed slight differences in reception between them running the same ROM and using the same carrier. It is likely a hardware issue. I am not sure if there were slight changes in hardware in different production batches of Streaks or it may just be a quality issue where slight variations in the antenna and/or its contact with the logic board affects its performance. I have not tried mods to boost signal strength as I am satisfied with its performance.

You can flash any ROM by using the appropriate recovery.img first, just like you would have done with 407 Olleh ROM. The procedure is the same and links for recovery files and stock ROMS can be found in the wiki. If you do have any issues with ROMs or fear that rooting may void warranty, you can return it back to any ROM. There is no rollback mechanism although backing up your firmware setup can be done.

As for battery, I can't really answer it as most Streaks are running batteries of different ages and health. I notice different battery performance just among the batteries I have. I am not real fussed about battery as I mostly carry a spare with me and usually get around 12 hours or so on a single charge with a battery in good health. I don't use my main streak with wifi except as a wifi hotspot when it is plugged in to power. However, I did use my spare streak in wifi only (no SIM card) and using it maybe an hour or so everyday, I managed to run for 100 hours unplugged with more than 10% battery left. This was with unmodified CM7 and wifi never disabled. This particular battery was the stock Dell battery that has been in this particular Streak which I have used everyday for over a year. CM7 is not the most efficient with battery but I find it acceptable.

In the end, CM7 is the most stable ROM with the least bugs that I have ever used on the Streak. It is extensively modded and has good performance. I value that over any issues with battery usage.
[Streak 5 General] arjunsheth:
hi, thank you for the detailed response. as regards the phone reception, it was probably a hardware issue as i had the phone replaced with dell and it now works just fine.

as regards upgrading to cm7, may be i will wait until mid of may since i have way too much on my plate till then. since time does not permit me, i shall continue to stick with rom 407 olleh atm and may be amend the build.prop file to fix the proximity sensor issue. when i get the time to work on it, i will contact u and wud be grateful if u cud help me out with it then.

thanks
