I tried this and ended up just like you. After messing with this for a week I finally got it to work. I had to use heimdall. I used ver 1.32 make sure you follow the instruction about installing drivers or it will not work. Odin woul dnot work for me. Follow the instructions in Zaclimon post. Where I got confused was in the partions. I was doing them one at a time as it said but what is meant is list them in the order in heimdall so it does it in that order and moves to the next one. When done it will reboot into your stock ROM. Let me know if you have any questions
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rohit589769:
you can actually boot into the SAFE MODE in galaxy y as you do in computer or windows.........the thing you have to do is while switching on your phone when the samsung boot logo appears keep the options key (the key to the left of home key)pressed for 5 to 7 seconds till you fell a large vibration after that let the phone boot...... now you are in the SAFE MODE.....for proof i have posted the screenshots.......... currently i dont know what are the advantages and disadvantages of it..but you can try and find out...............

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] bumslayer:
I can't seem to make it work :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rohit589769:
1) power off your phone

2) turn it on normally by pressing the power button

3) as the samsung boot logo appears, when the samsung logo starts to blink keep pressed the options button which is to the left of home screen till you feel a large vibration

4)after the vibration allow the phone to start...it will boot into the safe mode......worked for me on STOCK DDLC2
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
safe mode works

I can reproduce it here !

it works ! I accidentally was in it before some time.

works on LC1 as well.;););););)

"as the samsung boot logo appears, when the samsung logo starts to blink "

what you mean is, at the moment the first still logo changes into the animated boot graphics (after approx. 20 sec).

i.e. the word "YOUNG" is no longer visible

but no earlier, dudes !
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Raol Emostar:
Safe mode is for force close loops. In safe mode, the Android system only loads necessary applications. Third party apps like widgets are not loaded on boot up. You only need Safe Mode when your phone goes haywire and does a force close spree.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
u mean it interrupts boot loops

I guess what ure saying is, when u feel unsafe due to terrorism :eek: , there is no point in bootin ya fone in safe mode ;);)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] jerryn70:
What's the use of this safe mode ?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] bumslayer:
Shucks man. I use a custom boot animation :D

I will try this later...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] davidroid03:
Wow its working. All user apps are not loaded when boot in safe mode. Nice discovery. :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Sharmaskss:
Yeha this working nice...but I thing LCD disnity is change. so some app is force closing
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rrhgang:
S

Its true....

When phone booted & after vibration long press options key

Then you fell long vibration & phone in safe mode...

But .... ???? the benefits of safe mode. ???
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ARVolutionz:
if its will perform faster then it will be my "gaming mode" :P

menu button on the left, right?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rohit589769:
left one.....
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ROFLkopter:
Worked first time for me. I pressed the Menu button as soon as the 'Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Young' bootscreen disappeared and held it pressed until you feel the first small vibration. After that small vibrate I got the big vabration you mentioned. No apps at all can be loaded, even if you try to load them from the Play Store. Only apps installed to the system load...

Added screenshots :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rohit589769:
thanks for trying it out man....i actually really dont now how come i enterd the safe mode...thats why shared this technique with all of you
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Nobuga:
Yeah it works!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] jotaxxx:
yeah, i accidentally booted my phone in safe mode to before when i was trying out a custom rom,but instead of feeling "safe" i freaked out,thought i messed up my phone then i quickly plucked out the battery, lol,

sir it didnt work for me int chocodigitals rom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any suggestions sir
[HTC One X] ECrispy:
I love everything about the One series, wish they'd used software buttons like ICS is supposed to have.

e.g. on most legacy apps, we'll now have a whole bar just to show the menu button. Thus you have a row for the menu button, and below it another for the capacitive ones. With soft-keys, they get combined and you have more screen space.

Plus software can modify the button bar to put other details and buttons, change orientation etc. Soft-keys are simply better.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Couldn't disagree more. Legacy apps will be updated over time; physical buttons don't need anywhere near as much power to backlight as an LCD display, and require essentially no processing power to operate. By placing the buttons on the screen, you're requiring an inefficient LCD backlight to light those buttons, wasting processing power on rendering the screen, and not to mention that since those on-screen buttons can't be disabled, you're permanently wasting valuable LCD real-estate (and hence forcing a non-standard screen aspect ratio, since LCD panels are an off-the-shelf part and aren't typically designed to add extra menu bar pixels to the standard aspect.)

This will in not too long provide a better aspect ratio and more on-screen real estate in well-coded apps, doesn't sacrifice any screen real estate over a screen that always has the menu bar because it lacks physical buttons, and it will measurably improve battery life over a display providing the same real estate for apps *plus* a full-time LCD menu bar.

It's a big win, as far as I'm concerned, that is largely misunderstood so far by people not thinking about the bigger picture.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
Software buttons can be disabled for more screen real estate.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
They certainly can't in ICS on tablets, I must admit I haven't tried an ICS phone yet.
[HTC One X] ECrispy:
Of course they can be disabled, e.g in video playback they go away. And there are ICS api's developers can call to modify the buttons. There are custom rom's that features such as search button to the button bar, which isn't possible with hard buttons of course.
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
Don't know about on a phone but on a tablet they don't go away they are just replaced with very small dot. So the bar is still there and you still lose the screen space.

I really like hardware buttons, I don't like the "menu" bar but as you said this is for legacy apps so the pressure should be put on the app developers to update their apps inline with ICS.

Like said prev, hardware buttons give more screen, correct aspect ratios, use less power, and in the long run the menu button will become redundant.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
They certainly don't "go away" on ICS tablets. The bar is still there, the buttons are just replaced with less-distracting dots.
[HTC One X] Rittzy:
I love the physical touch buttons on the bottom, rather have them than touch screen ones anyday
[HTC One X] ECrispy:
Google themselves have said that Android is moving in a direction where there should be no physical buttons. e.g. lets say Jellybean removes/adds a button, now some phones will need to be redesigned for it, just like they had to remove search & menu when moving to ICS. But a phone with software buttons doesn't need to change the hardware. It's more future proof.

I think this kind of change will take a while but eventually it will happen. There are still many people who prefer hw buttons and HTC wanted to accomodate them I guess.
[HTC One X] ECrispy:
I don't have an ICS tablet, I'd guess the reason is there is enough space on a tablet screen so they don't go away.
[HTC One X] MartijnMM:
I prefer hardware buttons, BUT:

If using soft button means that the phone actually gets smaller,

i choose soft buttons.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Frankly, future-proofing is meaningless for as long as Google requires that end users go through a carrier and/or a manufacturer to get updates, and in the process guarantees that almost all Android products will be abandoned by the wayside before they've even stopped being sold (and the few that get updates will get them late, if ever.)
[HTC One X] engwee:
I just don't understand why they had to abandon the menu button, it was perfect...

I don't understand why we need a multitask button when you could just keep home pressed for the same result.

I didn't use a GN so won't comment on the software buttons much, I think it could really work if they added options for it in default ics so people who don't use custom roms and such could deal with them as they wish.

as for the menu bar on htc one.. it will eventually have a option to hide it (a V arrow on the bar)

it did in a previous software version but I guess they forgot to add it in the final build

and if you wanted it back all you had to do is keep multitask button pressed
[HTC One X] myself11:
@OP: drop by GNexus forum, there's quite some guys not happy with the screen size they loose with softbuttons. There's even an option on AKOP ROM to disable softbar.

I'm quite happy with hard buttons on One X, I just find stupid the solution HTC found to replace the menu button.
[HTC One X] earlyberd:
Disabling the soft buttons on the Galaxy Nexus is a commonly requested feature because tons of app developers haven't yet updated their apps to hide them while in full screen, not because of some half-baked idea that the loss of that extra 84 pixels of height somehow detracts from the user experience. Furthermore, the loss of screen real estate doesn't mean anything when 99% of the current apps are configured for the old 5:3 aspect ratio. Lots of old games look funky when you disable the soft buttons, because all the OS does is stretch it to fit.

Soft buttons are better because nobody can make up their minds on the design of the UI, so you might as well just leave it open to customization. Don't blame Google, blame the app developers.
[HTC One X] fcng:
HTC listened...

Maybe HTC listened to the majority of the HTC users and followed through with hardware buttons or maybe it is an HTC thing to keep hardware buttons as to Apple with their Home button.
[HTC One X] mesasone:
I just want my search button back... that was perhaps the one (and only )good addition the US carriers made to their devices. IMO.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I can't find the article but an HTC executive was quoted as saying it's necessary to support Sense.
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
I'm happy they did it. The buttons on the galaxy nexus look like crap, the black isn't black enough to use it for passive buttons.
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
The.majority of GN roms alow you to change both the brightness and colour of the on-screen buttons so that isn't an issue for most people. I actually prefer them, particularly as you can add or change the configuration of the buttons easily.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
...and all you pay for that ability is reduced battery life, reduced processing power, and wasted screen real-estate.

Personally I think hard buttons make MUCH more sense.
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
Why did they not give us four buttons or three and long press one for the menu instead of the stupid three dots that take up an eighth of the screen.

John.
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
Are you suggesting that on screen buttons use more power than an extended screen view, or are you comparing the overall spec of the GN with the HOX?

re screen real-estate - at the moment the potential gains are seldom realised because the HOX has to display the legacy button at the bottom of the sceeen. This will of course change in time.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
I like the 3 dots, it's easy to reach when thumbtyping in landscape mode. The other 3 buttons are a bit uncomfortable to use on a regular basis when typing/browsing etc.

As for games though, yeah, they're annoying, but new games will address this.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Yes, I am suggesting exactly that, because it is true.

* Screened LED back lit buttons take relatively little power to back light when lit, and no power at all when not backlit (ie. in the daytime)

* LCD displays take a lot of power to back light. The display backlight is one of the most power-hungry devices on your phone.

* LCD back lights consume even more power in the daytime, when you are most likely to be using your phone.

* Even though the status bar is black, it is still backlit on a standard LCD display (ie. not an OLED)

* An onscreen status bar must be drawn, which takes a few CPU cycles, which subtly but measurably reduces battery life and performance still further

* You never get the space occupied by the status bar back for apps in Android, so to get equal screen real estate to the One X with soft buttons requires a larger screen, yet those extra pixels are essentially entirely wasted as almost all of them are always black and unanimated 99.99% of the time.
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
Sorry if I am being thick, my question was does it consume more power on the HOX to use the bottom 1cm of the screen to display on-screen buttons than it does to display an additional 1cm of whatever app you have open?

This thread isn't about oled with on-screen buttons vs LCD with on-screen buttons, it's about LCD with backlit buttons vs LCD with on-screen buttons.

PS. .I've had to switch to my GN because the bloody battery has just ran out on my HOX (true) :o
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
If that's your question, then the question makes no sense. The backlight power consumption is identical, the CPU power consumption will be higher for the game than the status bar because it takes more work to render, but the comparison is meaningless because you don't have the same screen real estate between the two.

I never said it was about OLED vs LCD; the only reason I mentioned OLED at all was because some smart-*ss would've immediately refuted my post if I hadn't made clear I was referring specifically to LCD, because OLED backlighting can be switched off entirely if the pixel is black.

I specifically compared LCD with backlit hard buttons to LCD with soft buttons, and showed that hard buttons are better if you care about power consumption, assuming equal app screen real estate (which is the only fair comparison), and assuming your app is coded properly.

Well, if you've been using well-coded apps, the battery would've run out even sooner with soft buttons and the same screen real estate for the apps...
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
^^My point is that the first part of your original statement does not make any sense when viewed in the context of this thread.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Please, do enlighten me as to why the fact that using hard buttons improves battery life versus a phone with the same application real estate--thereby offering a very plausible explanation why HTC chose physical buttons--is not logical, in a thread whose title is "Why did HTC choose physical buttons?"

I await your proper explanation why, rather than just casting aspersions without any logic or content at all to back it up.
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
This was not part of your original statement and makes all the difference.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
And so you chose to gloss over where I clearly stated it second time around, after missing the clear implication first time around, and continued to tell me I made no sense.

Well, that makes perfect sense.

You're on ignore.
[HTC One X] nikorette:
Knox your a douchebag.

It's a matter of opinion as are most of the threads and their posts that don't have anything to do with a relatively technical question.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:

He could have an argument in an empty room. I suspect he is also against the use of on-screen keyboards.
[Motorola Triumph] yasirfaheem:
I have a Motorola triumph cell phone, which is on the stock rom that came with the phone. All I did is root it, put clockworks recovery on it and add a 32GB micro SD card in the micro SD card slot. I am getting two messages on the phone -

1- Text message memory full. Incoming message rejected due to full memory.

2- Low on space. Phone storage space is getting low.

I have cleared all the cache, text messages, and e-mail from the phone. That still did not work. So since my phone is rooted I installed an app that would let me move apps to the SD card. I moved all the apps that I could to the SD card. What do you know that still did not work. After doing all of this I am still getting the two messages. I do not want to factory reset the phone and loose everything on the phone. Right now the memory is like this -

1 - SD card total space 29.71GB Available space 16.96GB

2 - Internal phone storage available space 28.39MB

What else can I do to clear up more internal memory on the phone?
[Motorola Triumph] jakethesnakepayne:
Apparently this is a problem with other people also and the only way around this is to install after market firmware like CyanoGenMod. I use Minimum triumph myself.

What is the best rom for the phone? I am reading that with some roms some stuff does not work. I want everything to work like stock rom. Is there a good rom that has everything working?
[Motorola Triumph] agentc13:
You can factory reset your phone. That will fix it.

You can root the phone and delete the .alog files (those are the ones that keep building and take up all the space).

There are a couple other options as well, besides flashing a custom ROM. It has been discussed multiple times over at androidforums.com. I would recommend going there to get the details.

I had to do a factory reset. I was warned not to do it from the settings favtory reset. Use the factory reset from the custom recovery.
[Motorola Triumph] CornfedChris:
If you are using the original software that came with the phone, there are "a log" files that will build up and need to be deleted. I would recommend installing a customized rom to help free up some space and performance, as well as a lot of other cool features to make the phone better. Stock just won't cut it on this phone.
[Motorola Triumph] Strouperman369:
Space Problem and ROMs

My sister had a the same problem with her Droid Incredible. It went away for a while after a factory reset but came back within a month.

I'd suggest looking into a good ROM even if you weren't having this issue. Mantera over at android forums has a really nice CM9 alpha (it's what I'm using) and it's pretty great if you don't mind not having HDMI or camera (that will hopefully get fixed soonish). If you're cool with CM7, g60madman picked up where Whyzor left off and is providing regular updates so far to address bugs.
[Motorola Triumph] jedgell233:
I'm confused. Why did you get an app to move apps to SD? The stock rom supports app2sd already. Just go to settings and apps. Click an app in the list to see the properties page. Should see a button to move to SD. Not all apps can be moved but the huge ones usually can.
[Motorola Triumph] MikeRL100:
Why?

Because many App2SD apps allow you to do batch moving, where you can select what you want to move. Then, all you have to do is press OK and tap Move to SD Card and press back when done to move to the next app from the checklist you basically just made. They also may support extra actions, such as warn you if moving an app to an SD card will disable any of its functionalities.
[General Questions and Answers] jugglervr:
Discovered that my D4 (stock, rooted) sometimes refuses to charge while it's plugged in. It says it's charging, but all it does is run the battery down and get hot.

It seems that this happens at the same time that it has trouble finding my wifi. I confirmed this behavior today, and grabbed a screenshot of dwindling power while charging:

I can sometimes get it to wake up by restarting, but just as often, restarting makes the problem happen when all else was fine. The only way I've found to stop this is to restart my router.

Granted, I need a new router, but it would be great to have it not vent electricity instead of charging while it's looking for wifi. Thoughts?

Just wondering before i start cooking something up, is there any reason you devs/users are not using the 4.0.4 ROM from Google here:

http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakju

Is there issues with it or no one got round to it yet?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
There are many roms that use the new 4.0.4 base, AOKP B29 being the most popular. But Axi0m Patient Zero and other "stock roms" use it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j18ter:
Some people are reporting weak signals generally, or even complete loss of signal when the device goes to sleep. With the radio in Google's factory image the signal seemed quite weak for me, so I flashed the UGLC1 radio, which is apparently the latest 4.0.4 radio from yakjuux builds supposedly optimized for North America.

This has made it worse for me, I'm now seeing complete loss of signal when the device goes to sleep, as others have reported for the stock XXLA02. I'm going back to that...

By the way, I'm using the device in Canada on the Telus network.
