[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praxibetelix42:
Be careful with passion, I fried my vibrant on v12

If you ever see the "encryption unsuccessful" message after a reboot, you're screwed, no internal memory, if I were you I'd let the releases go one ahead and stay behind reading EVERYTHING that others are saying.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cabrill:
Thanks for the heads up. I don't think I'll be leaving Fishmanmod/Bionix-V until I get a new phone when my contract is up for renewal. Passion seemed nice to look at but I was getting less than a third of the battery life that I got with Trigger and I've read Fishmanmod has even better battery than that! Not to mention, no previous ROM I've tried has been quite this smooth before.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cabrill:
Nope, I was wrong

Guess I won't be staying with Fishman. I got so used to being able to use the Camera and Music Player below 15% power that I had forgotten that was a feature exclusive to the Trigger ROM. The buttery smoothness can't quite make up for that. Okay, definitely sticking with Trigger until I get a new phone ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mingo3k:
Hi guys/girls of XDA.

I've been happily running my Galaxy S 2 with CM9 for some time.

I've just yesterday changed to the latest nightly. Had used the Battery Calibration market app, just so i can get the maximum use out of my extended battery (i still seemed to get regular usage out of the battery). Made sure the triangle was gone with Triangle Away. All was swell.

Untill today, I attempted to check out the beats audio plugin.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525226

I flashed through CWM as you usually do for these things, once this was done, and rebooted fine, I noticed some niggling issues.

My SD card wasn't mounted. Mounted it again. Was working fine. My audiobook decided to crash on me, and the phone froze.

Thought it might be a good idea to get into Recovery and flash over the latest nightly again clearing the mess i put on my phone. SD wasn't mounted again, mounted and confirmed working.

Flashing of ROM would not work.

Sat at installing for about 10+ minutes.

Pulled battery.

Now i'm unable to get into Recovery or Download mode.

I believe I've Soft/Hardbricked. But I can't confirm it.

Any ideas?

(My sig isn't up to date, and i cbf updating it)

Try a usb jig
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mingo3k:
I was thinking that would be the first answer.

I don't have one, might have to check Ebay, unless there is a local seller in Aus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huylinh:
Pull battery, wait for 5 minutes
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mingo3k:
Already tried.

Attempting to turn it on after this period has no effect, and nothing shows on the screen.

(After some time pressing the power button, it starts to get hot around the camera)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you can't get into download mode at all/phone won't turn on your last (slim) chance is a jig. If the jig doesn't work you have two options:-

1) JTAG repair by 3rd party repairer (probably cheaper option)

2) Repair by Samsung (probably more expensive option)

But definitely try the jig before you go down that route. You never know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veledimusiki:
I think usb jig will solve your problem and you can make your own usb jig indeed. It is just a 300k resistor which is soldered between the fourth and the fifth legs of a micro usb socket.

You can find lots of videos and schemes showing how to do it. I think it is better to

make your own usb jig then waiting your internet order.

I hope you can get your phone back soon.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mingo3k:
Looks like i'll try a JIG asap.

Then look for a JTAG repairer in adelaide.

Will keep you guys posted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There's a thread in General where people have offered to let other people use their jigs. Might be worth a look to see if there's someone in Radelaide who can help, would be surprised if there isn't.

Might save you waiting for jig in the post (assuming you don't already have one/aren't confident enough to make your own); if you do borrow a jig & it works you get your phone back earlier & if it doesn't work, at least you can then focus on getting it fixed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mingo3k:
Well, after waiting on packages to arrive.

The phone will not respond to a USB Jig. (I ordered a couple, and none work, i'm on ICS bootloaders I believe, and it won't respond)

Have sent the phone off to http://www.themobilephoneclinic.com.au

(They do JTAG services in Melbourne)

I've found out something on the motherboard is fried, and they can't perform a JTAG on my phone.

Replacing the motherboard will cost about $275 to replace, so my dead phone is on it's way back to me, dead :(

Sad day.

Time to start saving for the S3 i think.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
I know that the default ICS WiFi icon has arrows (centered inside the main icon), but it seems on at least one ROM - vibranturk's Doc's Master v8 and perhaps earlier revisions - there was some modification made (I don't know if it's a simple configuration edit or what) that produced the arrows on the lower left side of the main icon which makes it far more readable to see when data is flowing on the up(load) or down(load) side of things. Looks like this on Doc's Master v8:

Now, I'm still using Doc's ROM but I decided to check out the latest CM9 Nightly (20120407) and it obviously has the pure stock ICS WiFi icon.

My question is simple, really:

How can I figure out how to get the same "look and feel" of the WiFi icon in the Doc's ROM over to the CM9 one, if at all possible. I don't know if it's some custom compile option or not because vibranturk did release a v9 beta ROM but it was only up for a few hours - he's since decided to take a break from his development work on those ROMs and pulled the downloads (but I still have them, of course).

I'm not a ROM "wizard" or anything so I don't quite get what's responsible for the WiFi icon meaning is it a library file, an icon file, etc. If this was Windows Mobile I'd know exactly how to handle it, but it's Android. :D

Just trying to get that arrows-on-the-side easier-to-read WiFi icon as shown in the pic above instead of the stock WiFi icon where the arrows overlay the primary icon itself.

Could be a simple thing but I spent 30+ minutes searching here and at other locations and I just get tons of no useful info at all. Anything anyone can offer as advice or a suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it would be as simple as swapping out a file in the ROM since Doc's v8 is a 4.0.3 based one and the CM9 nightly is 4.0.4 - trying to do this without borking the Captivate, obviously.

Thanks...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
SystemUI.apk open with winrar,

navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi and edit the png images 'stat_sys_wifi_in' 'stat_sys_wifi_inout' and 'stat_sys_wifi_out'.

edit images then drop back in winrar to same location, it will ask settings, just overwrite/update files with "storage" compression.

you will need a image editor capbable of editing transparency. there are some web apps like http://pixlr.com/editor/ . move the arrows left and down within the blank area.

there are better more complete guides out there.

they are not .9.png images so no need to decompile /ect. follow simple image themeing instructions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
Awesome, then I'll get started on it here in a bit and see what comes from it. Thanks for the response.

you figure out what to do with them. LOL

have fun!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
er now i look at that screenshot again it looks like the wifi bars are higher, i think i am going to have image clipping (touching/overlapping) if i push this right now.

just winrar open the systemUI from the working rom, find the stat_sys_wifiANYTHING.pngs in the hdpi folder and put them in your rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
I got it, thanks. :)

I simply extracted the 3 PNG files from Doc's Master v8 and dropped them into the full CM9 ROM archive in the appropriate folder and installed it, simple. The trick was finding out which files needed to be replaced, and you answered that one with your first post. Works great, as expected. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dr. Fed:
I've used SFHubs Odin OC to move from ICS back to GB, and then the auto root tool to inject custom recovery. Specifically EL29 Odin OC and then Auto root Rogue Recovery. Several times, no trouble. From my laptop. Recently I used the same laptop to root my friends E4GT with El29 Odin OC (worked just fine) and then Auto root to install Rogue recovery. When I boot into recovery it looks and acts typical. But the recovery cannot properly flash any roms or properly restore a nandroid. It looks normal, but flashes zips too quickly and upon reboot I get a soft brick (hangs at splash screen). Luckily I was able to pull battery and get back to Odin mode.

Does anyone know why this happened? Is the auto root failing because I'm using the same laptop for two different E4GTs? Is there a ghost device borking the recovery installation? Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you sure your friend's phone has an external sdcard?

If not, pay attention to commands that work on internal or external cards. Some areas you toggle internal/external mode. Some areas you choose specific options that work with internal or external.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Basically when CWM comes back right away from an operation, usually some error occurred. One error might be using an external sdcard when it isn't present. There are other possible errors, but that was the most obvious one to ask about.

I appreciate your help. Thanks for FD10 btw, i just got done OC'ing it...awesome!

Ok i had this same problem. After OCing back to stock rooted EL29 Reinstall CWM rogue with adb auto root. This will give you a fresh copy of CWM rogue and shouldn't throw you into a boot loop. Also make sure you do a full data wipe and wipe all cashes then run Calkins format all zip prior to running the nandroid backup. Should be good. Hope this helps.

I was on youtube listening to in dying arms and I kept getting email notifications in my status bar but when I opened my email no new emails were found. It sketched me out! I all paranoid with security and what not. Well I went to shut down my phone then reboot into recovery but it went into bootloop instead.

My phone would only go into bootloop as long as power was connected. Otherwise it was like it was completely dead(had full battery tho). I re-flashed cwmr and booted into it and restored.

I'm just going to wipe everything's and start fresh. That bugged me out!

Happen to anyone before? Anyone know a possible cause?

CM7 Trinity kernel regular voltage
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
It happened to me once. Overheating was the culprit. I can't remember the app right now, but something I had installed was causing crazy issues. I removed it and have never had another problem.

Are you still on CM7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
Yeah I'm back to CM7. I was using CM9 but not being able use the cam corder or watch videos that were recorded on a cam corder was enough for me to go back to CM7!! CM7 randomly shuts off tho. It is a pain in my freaking butt!!!!!!!!

I might try eagles blood and see if this stops happening. Cuz I'm not beat for searching/combing through apps to see if one of them are the cause.

UPDATE: It may be a hardware issue. I was on the phone and put the person on speaker and placed the phone down and it reset. It was very lightly too. Come to think of it, anytime my phone reset it was in my pocket or somewhere I couldn't see the actual phone. So the back of the phone could have hit my thigh too hard and it could have shut down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I'm using the New Clip mod of the Weapon Rom and have no issues right now. A lot of long time posters are still using it. Very stable. My other thought is swapping the battery at a Tmobile store.

Wow interesting. I was looking to perhaps sell my Galaxy Nexus for a One X. I was hoping for a better camera and originally thought the one X was superior in that section. This was my excuse and buttering up to the GF letting me lay down the extra cash lol. As she's uses my camera phone a lot when we are out and about and snap pictures of the dog. Damn :(

I know our cell phones aren't appose to replace point and shoots but they say the best camera is the one that always with you. And most of the photos I take are spur of the moment when I'm out and about.

Guess its based on user opinion. You said you had a Nexus and the One X performs better. As long as it looks good and the colors are good works for me. In reality I'm not going to be zooming in and having 4 phones next to me to compare lol.
[HTC One X] finduz:
Damn, and I sold my N8 for this. Haven't had time to test the camera so much, but it's sad that a phone 1.5 years old still isn't beaten.

[HTC One X] Vcolassi:
If you want the best apps/ camera combo the iPhone is gonna be the way to go, even though I hate to say it. I use a Android phone daily but have a 4s laying around. And as far as games and app support it's clearly dominant.

Not saying the Play store doesn't have a lot of Apps. But you can literally sit around for days and download different iOS apps that the Play store does not have and there good ones too. The play store has the apps for my needs though.

[HTC One X] katamari201:
Even if you think that PhoneArena comparisons are utter BS, I doubt they would doctor the photos themselves, and they are perfectly lined up for direct comparison. You can clearly see how dark and unnatural looking colorwise the One X photos are, and how bad it performs in low light. It's also hard to blame shaky hands and such when the shutter lag is so low. It's really sad when people in these forums will jump for joy when PhoneArena does a very positive review of the phone they love, and then quickly turn a 180 when they give a negative review. They don't change staff on a weekly basis. There many more negative reviews of the camera elsewhere on popular sites. It's not some anomaly. Just abrasive fanboys who can't take criticism of their baby. HTC is known for their bad cameras. Why would a 9mm phone suddenly change all that?

The Nokia N8 is a real camera-phone, meaning it doesn't care about your tight jeans. The bigger the sensor, the better the camera, no duh. That's why it's 13mm. No 8-9mm phone is gonna be able to compete. Physics. The PureView is also very chunky.

If you think the pictures from the picture thread are good enough, well good for you! But this is about comparing cameras on high-end phones, and making expensive buying decisions based on these comparisons, so the minutiae is what matters. For people who prioritize the camera, the One X is probably the worst choice among the bunch tested.
