[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philippe.dc:
hi everybody,

I it my first new thread, I hope I post it at the right place....

I started my dicover of the android word with a Samsung Xcover x5690, android 2.3.6.

Nice phone, unfortunately containt plenty a syst soft, some in Germain, so unusable for me. So many softs that the phone run extremely low. So many that /system partition was full and I had to remove a apk during a recovery reboot first to be able to root my phone.

I installed root uninstaller. I delete other germain apk, I succefully transfered some apk from phone to sdcard, but even after that I still get some out of memories.

I decide to force to move google maps, gmail and youtube to sdcard. Impossible to perform directly, I remove those syst apk with root uninstaller, then I re-install them from market.

That worked fine for maps and gmail, that are not syst apk anymore.

BUT... I cannot install youtube, each time I get the error message that I cannot install in the default directory.

Does someone have an idea how I could re-install it ?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
just copy the YouTube.apk to /system it will get installed then use system app remover to remove those apks completely

For a complete newbie?

There are a number of tutorials, i know that. And every rom topic has them. But there are a lot of inconsistencies among them.

Is there one flashing guide to rule them all?

Marketplace is just coming to my country, so hard reset awaits me. I don't really need to backup my apps, I don't have that much of them, and would like to start with a clean slate.

BUT that is because i know than usually any backup will come with some minor problems. How do the WP homebrew backup solutions stand on this front?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
I think what everyone needs to know. What type of phone do you have ?

From what I have read, each phone is different, and even more across different brands. The basics are the same, Get Rom>Flash rom> boot phone but, each phone has their different settings that you need to go by. Some need to be on a fireware level others need to use different settings in their roms, etc

Find the threads to your phone, find the post for your type of phone, find out how to flash your phone.

If your looking to create such a document, you will have to go to each model phone and find what is different about each one.

Good luck !

1. Do required exports

I recently made the switch over to CM 7.2 from 7.1. I've flashed plenty of roms before, so everything went smoothly. Only problem is now apps I have paid for in the market now show the price instead of the normal "download" button. Clicking it takes you to the Google checkout pay screen....

They are still listed in the "my apps" section, so what is going on?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
1) Do you have multiple accounts on the phone. Have you gone to market settings and made sure you are using the account you purchased them with?

2) Have you tried clearing data from market app to see if that clears it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Only one google account and wiping the market didn't fix it. But I just tried wiping market data and rebooting the phone, that seems to fix it. Might be a fluke, some research into other people with the same problem seems to point at a Google server error that resolves on its own. Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] SomethinAmazinn:
Sorry if it's been stated before, or it's in the wrong section.

So this will basically be a how to for those who have the same Soft Brick problem I had.

(Running super clean install of newest version of Revolver ICS, B60 Device)

So last night I had my TF on throughout the day. When I finally went to use it at night, i noticed it would not wake. I held down the power and my transformer wouldn't boot. I thought it might have been a random reboot stuck on the ASUS logo which killed my battery.

I decided to let it charge for ~ 10 minutes. When I came back, it wasn't booting still.

So I held down power+Vol down. Took me to some kind of bricked menu, with an android and an exclamation mark.

This is how i was able to get around it and have it boot up.

Remove Tablet from Dock

Plug into AC power Source

Hold down Power+Vol Down

Wait till the screen where it asks to go into recovery. Instead of pressing Vol Up to get into recovery, just wait instead.

After a while it will show an android icon, and an Exclamation mark with a Triangle around it.

Just continue to wait. Soon enough it will boot.

And just like that you have your favorite TF101 back.

Again this may or not work for you, but it's what fixed mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
i don't think your tf was ever "bricked" to began with.:D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pfmahoney:
Yeah, good point about the Accessories forum. I didn't think of that.

I haven't timed it, but it's not significantly slower. I'm not sure what the difference is, though, because I just stick it on the charger when I go to bed and wake up and it's charged. But when I was testing it, it seemed to charge at a rate slightly slower than the USB charger.

Cool. :) If you have any questions let me know. And send me a message when you get it working.

You, my friend, have incredibly sharp eyes. I'm using a bumper case - so there's no backing to it. I don't know how well the system would work with a real case, but I'd assume you'd lose some charging current/efficiency by increasing the gap.

Yes, but not as far as I know on an i777 and the internal routing is a bit different from SGS2 model to model.

Nice. Would you be willing to post some higher res pictures showing the contact placement and the inductive coil installed on the back panel?

Also, were the inductive coil contacts labeled, or did you have to figure out which one was VCC and which was ground?

I've been meaning to attempt this mod after I saw a Galaxy S video showing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yahoowizard:
Can I get a picture of the back of the phone after everything is complete? Without the case, ofc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pfmahoney:
I can do ones of the inductive coil, but I'm not going to take the phone apart again... I should have taken better phones when I had it apart last night... but every time I need to put it back together, it takes a while. I think what we have will have to serve.

There's only one resistor near the USB connector so even though the photo is a bit blurry, if you take the phone apart, you'll see right away which one it is. There's not much there... just a capacitor (the yellow thing) a small IC (the black thing) and then the surface mount resistor (the orange thing in the photo).

As far as the coil, I just peeled it off of the Palm Pre kit and stuck it on the case of the i777. The only thing was lining up the contacts so that they matched the places that I put the copper tape. For that I used to back plastic that was off the phone, that the back cover would attach to, attached it as if the phone was together, and then eyeballed it from the other side.

I used a multimeter to check. But the contact farthest from the coil is 5V, and the other, the inside one closer to the coil, is GND.

It looks like this:

It might look like the wire would interfere with a real SIM (instead of the microSIM that I have in there now) but it doesn't. Last week I was in Costa Rica and I had an ICE full SIM card in there and it worked fine. The wire doesn't push into the SIM card slot as much as it looks... or rather, you can tuck it under the plastic so that it's more out of the way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] h8rift:
Very snazzy. Got my parts in and going to complete this evening.

Stupid radio shack didn't have any copper tape tho...I'm going to try using the wire ends strategically placed and/or taped to get the same effect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chilean03n:
I tried it last night, but it didn't work for me. I'm trying to find out what I did wrong. I solder a wire to the resistor and to the touchstone cover directly to test. Then I wrapped the ground cable around a screw and screwed it down. The tester displays that the cables are receiving all 5 volts.

Mine seems to be a different model because that "U" that is next to the resistor in the picture appears to be on top of my resistor.

I'll keep trying to see if I can get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chilean03n:
NVM I got it to work!

I soldered only the right side of the resistor and it works flawlessly!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pfmahoney:
Sorry, I stopped reading the forum as things got busy at work.

Cool. Congrats. :)

Mine is still working great too.

For the copper tape, I should have elaborated on that. I bought it at Michael's (a hobby/craft store). I think hobby stores that have supplies for making jewelry have it. I tried Radio Shack as well and they had no idea what I was talking about. Amazon has it too. But I think the cheapest option is a place like Hobby Lobby or Michaels or any other jewelry or stained glass window supply.

I tried aluminum tape - from Home Depot - but I had a really hard time soldering to it without soldering through it. Someone at work recommended copper tape instead.

Also, someone on another forum (I'm the moderator of the mobile devices forum at Anandtech) mentioned that their back cover has been popping off. This hasn't been a problem that I've had much - very rarely a corner will pop off after a day in my pocket, but otherwise everything fits pretty well. If people have problems with that, one could move the coil further down on the back cover and that should solve it. Or else you could use double-sided permanent tape from an office supply store and apply it to the inside cover where the cover is coming off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 800xl:
I just picked up the parts to do this. $3 each for kits with charger and back from Amazon, so I picked up three. I have a couple of batteries that charge off USB that this could work for as well.

Test fit inside my otterbox commuter case seems ok, but will need more metal for the magnets in the charger to hang onto.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is an awesome mod.

@pfmahoney (or anybody else who has done this) have there been any adverse effects over time? I've read that on some other phones, you can't use the touchscreen while connected to the Touchstone. Is that the case on our model? I've also heard about overheating issues and compass issues. These reports were on other phones, though. Any thoughts?
