everytime i flash a rom, it gets stuck at the bootanimation or the setup wizard :( any suggestions? i used to flash roms before but it started happening recently and i cant pinpoint why it freezes
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
My friend had that issue too. It turned out he wasn't wiping /system before he flashed. Too much crap built up in there from too many ROMs.

I use 4ext app and do a ext 4 wipe and it seems to work okay for me. sometimes ill manually wipe all partitions but usually dont need to.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cirjeffrey:
Yeah I tried wiping everything

I did factory and cache

Then dalvik

Then under mounts and storage I format system,data,and cache

Maybe I'll try 4 ext

Look at the logcat.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosunite:
If you have clockworkmod lower than v3, and you flash a gingerbread rom, it naturally get s stucked by bootanimation. But if you have the latest one of the recovery, which supports ext4, and it stuck at the bootanimation (not the white splash screen), then you must wait until the drivers are initialized.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cirjeffrey:
My cwm is the latest one I believe (5.0.2.0 or something like that)

I tried loading zipnets ice rom and it hangs at the clock animation

I tried the new sense 3.6 rom. (Forgot name) and sometimes it freezes at the bootamimation,setup, or at the home screen

What do you mean wait for drivers to install?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosunite:
The first start after a rom install is always the longest one. That is usual. Try to wait about three - five mins and then it is done. After that you can use it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Also after it boots, give it a few minutes to settle in and turn on mobile netowork ect.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cirjeffrey:
How long should I wait? Last time I waited 20 mins and it was still frozen

edit: ok i tried 4ext and used the format everything except sd card and still get a frozen boot animation :( any other suggestions?

Same issues as original poster...

Hi,

I'm having the same issue as the original poster, I've tried flashing the phone a load of time with no joy, keeps getting stuck at the flashing S screen, I've removed the battery and replaced it etc with no joy.

I've spent the last few hours searching for a stock ROM that I can flash through Odin with a PIT file so that the device gets a complete reset but can't find one that works

Any help that can be given is greatly appreciated.....

Thanks,

Mike

[Galaxy S II General] theronkinator:
Yeah ICS thread, boring.

I'm not asking for a release though.

At about 6:20GMT Samsung released the ICS updates for the Three UK (and Three Ireland) branded phones.

As of now (9:46am) the update for the generic unbranded phones is still not out.

I'm not moaning about it coming out and unlike most understand that "the week commencing 19th March" does not mean on the 19th of March.

However I have never seen a network branded major release out before the unbranded version (normally follow weeks after). It just baffles me why it's out before generic!
[Galaxy S II General] scott.eden:
Did you get this update through Kies ?
[Galaxy S II General] theronkinator:
No, I don't have a GS2, but my dad has a Unbranded CPW one.

However, some on Samsung UK's (and loads on Three UK's) facebook have got it.

And these two mark it as released:

https://twitter.com/#!/SGS2Update

https://sites.google.com/site/rizandroid/ics

That's not really the point of my thread though.
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
looking at intratech's firmware post from what I remember the CPW ones use different firmware. My unbranded GS2 is in repair so cant see if I can update it. Bought mine from buymobilephones.net. Anyway look at intratech's firmware thread and you'll see firmware for CPW unbranded and a seperate one just for unbranded phones
[Galaxy S II General] theronkinator:
I know it does, that's not the point of my thread, can't any of you read.

The unbranded version isn't out either, the only UK one is Three, which baffles me that it's out first.

Also the CPW one got the last update 10 mins after europe, it's the same just a different product code.

Can people no reply unless it's on what my thread is actually about.
[Galaxy S II General] LNJ:
They probably sold more branded ones!
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
As far as I can tell, your thread is a pointless moan about the (official) release of firmware for a device you don't even own, to people who can't do anything about it.

If your Dad wants ICS on his I9100, tell him to wait patiently or flash an official ROM himself. He's not missing out on much.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
What do you want people to say??

I can read. Branded ICS out, generic isn't. You're baffled.

What do you think anyone here can do about it? And since you don't own a SGS2, why should we care?
[Galaxy S II General] zee54:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0rd_almighty:
That's what I did. It's just annoying that it says that I need to update maps in google play although I have the latest version of google maps (6.4). I just reflashed my phone and did a complete wipe. Now it shows that google maps is not available in my region. Weird. All this started happening after the last google play update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0rd_almighty:
Here's what i'm showing right now. I tried to search maps in google play but i can't find it so i tried searching through my browser. So i click the link that i got from my browser which opens up google play just to show that maps is not available in my region. Still managed to update my maps after i reflashed right before google play auto updated. Now that i have the latest google play. The screen shot above is what i'm getting.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Try to get older version map.apk place under system/app

Then if u get msg to update, update it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0rd_almighty:
That's what I did after I've reflashed my phone. I was able to update the 6.0 version of maps that came with the stock LC1 rom using the prior version of google play. But after google play updated automatically I can no longer search for maps unless I do it via the browser. And when I go that route, it says that google maps in not available in my country. I know I can just manually install using an apk that I can download from somewhere if ever an update comes out. It just sucks that I'd have to do that when It should just automatically update in the first place. I'm guessing it's a google play bug or they probably pulled out maps from our country for whatever reasons.

Me too. Error code 940 when trying update Voice Search and Street View. I also can not intall Google Maps and some Google core apps from Market (aka Google Play now) too. I think this due to the region restriction, that mean you can not install or update (if the app is already installed in the rom) apps which is not supported by google in your region.

Hi everyone,

I have v7.1.0 running in my S5570.

Yesterday I backuped up it and tried:

update-cm-7.2.0-RC5.6-GalaxyMini-Release-signed.zip + update-first-cm-7.2.0-RC5.6-GalaxyMini.zip from here

I also installed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip and added my google account as yagyagaire's blog says.

I wiped data and cache partition before&after applying each update (yes, noob :P)

Everything seemed to be ok so far, however:

-Activating the "data mode" (both "data active" and "itinering data" checkboxes active and wifi disabled) didn't show the data connection icon as usually, and I couldn't navigate, retrieve mails, etc

- Google play gave me a "connection error" each time I opened it (having Wifi connected).

If anyone has any idea, I will give it another try. But I ended up restoring my "stable" 7.1.0 :-P

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hchao:
I tried lordlockan's IceColdSandwich ROM, and while on it, my DHD went through a charge cycle from <5% to 100% fully charged via USB plugged to a computer USB port. To my surprise, in the first 40%(or maybe 50%) charge time, the charging current remained between 800-900ma, and this was with an HTC original USB cable. Needless to say, the charge time also greatly reduced to a little over two hours--almost the same as charging via AC.

I suppose this is the kernel's USB Fast Charge feature, and it's my first time experiencing such USB Fast Charge. On a few GB ROMs I've used, USB charge always has a charge current < 400ma. I checked various threads which have discussions on this topic, but I'm not sure what I experienced is normal. Hope someone in the know can answer my questions:

1. Does USB Fast Charge require specially mod cable, e.g. data-wires-shorted cable, or just any regular USB data cable can do with a kernel that supports this feature?

2. Someone told me that it's not safe to draw more than 500ma from a computer USB port, since USB 2.0 spec. mandates the safe charge current to be upper-bounded by 500ma. Even if larger charge current works, over time it could damage the computer USB port and even mother board. Is this true?

From what I read from various threads, the opinions are two-sided:

one view is like what I was told: do not overcharge with more than 500ma via USB 2.0 port.

But I also found many people with the opinion that it's OK to draw larger current from a computer's USB port, as long as the computer can provide it. Chad, who I believe is the original developer that came up with USB Fast Charge in the kernel, also said that it does no harm--the most one could lose is to still have slow USB charge if the computer USB port cannot provide more than 500ma charge current.

Which is true?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakesh2002:
I guess it is intended for car chargers, but anyways take a look at this article: http://www.eetimes.com/design/power...B-battery-charging--it-s-harder-than-it-looks

seems like the USB PORT could offer up to 1.5A

I am not sure whether it is ClokaN or somebody else but they had mentioned that fast charging must not be used often until or unless necessity arises.

Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Unlikely to cause lasting harm, unlike cross posting on multiple threads.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hchao:
(Sorry for posting in the wrong thread.)

I'd like to summarize what clockan answered in another thread:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hchao:
Thanks for the pointer.

The 1.5A cited in that article is for the newly proposed " USB-IF Battery Charging Specification revision 1.2 (BC1.2)". I doubt there is any implementation on the market yet. However, my understanding is that pretty much most PCs and 3C devices (e.g. gaming consoles) shipped in the last few years can do USB charging at least up to 1A. (See also clockan's comment in my previous post.)

I remember once I triggered a Windows alarm popup warning me for abnormally high voltage in the USB when I used a screw driver to adjust a computer's USB port--perhaps I shorted some pins. Apparently Windows has built-in protection in monitoring USB port electricity. So, I beleieve now worrying about drawing a few hundred more mAs from a computer's USB port is unnecessary.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyboy:
i also remember when i lost my Sony Z5 orginal charger ,decided to make a usb charging cable for my phone. as i remember it was used to be charged up very faster than ever, drawing higher current of PC USB port rising up both phone and usb cable temperature

finally nothing bad happend till i lost the phone itself as well! :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yokken:
I don't know the intricacies of the architecture, but it's made with (I believe) a 32nm die instead of the 45nm Cortex-A9s, which usually means less power consumption and more performance. There are also new instructions supported by the CPU which allow it to perform tasks more efficiently. Other than that, I don't quite know. But it's smaller and faster. The A15s are going to blow all A9-based chips out of the water. I'm interested to see how the new A15s stand up against the S4 Krait processors from Qualcomm.
