lol, there you go :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] readyblue:
Best choice

This what I found and use also (all of them):

F-Droid = only open-source apks

Aptioide = only free apks,

1Mobile Market = free and also paid apks

so I have no need to have google account at all :victory:

lol... You are mentioning the rules before verifying the info. He said paid apps, not paid apps for free. In 1mobile, you will have to pay for paid apps
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sharan2036:
apitode and black market is best
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mr.RainBurn:
Aptoide is

very

good.

I Cant turn on my nook. i even bought another power cord. im holding the N button and the power button together but noting is happening. are there any other known fixes?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooktablet:
you only need to hold the power button in about 2-3 seconds

do not hold the N button and the power button at the same time, it will go to factory reset.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gorelow:
thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
I have seen it take longer than 2-3 seconds to clear. One way I do it is be in a dark area and you can see the edge bleed around the corners of the tablet when in a sod state. Hold the pwr button in until you see it flash off - release the button and turn it back on. It has always worked for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
yeah, i wish this nook had a little red/green LED ( light emitting diode ) to help tell what state its in. it'll sometimes look like its off when it is actually 'on' and you can tell ( very suttle ) because the back light is on.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rewen:
Hi guys,

I just scored a refurbished, but like-new, Galaxy Tab 10.1 ($265 from The Source clearance center in Barrie, Ontario, Canada) and I am unable to update it from 3.1.

When I try to update using the OTA nothing happens. The update appears to want to start and then it just loops back to a message to start it again. I tried clearing the cache and force-closing the update from Applications, but that's only made it worse (nothing at all happens on the update screen under 'About' now).

So then I tried Kies, which tells me KL2 is the latest FW. However while Kies is downloading the FW the tablet loses connection. Eventually Kies gives up and the tablet reconnects, and I can do it all over again if I want but it never gets anywhere.

Since I want 3.2 quite a bit I've rooted the tablet and I've downloaded a few ROMs. My problem is not knowing which stock ROM is really the latest.

I am debating between KL2 and KMP. I've also downloaded Galaxy Task to play with.

Based on dates, KL2 seems newer than KMP. But based on the alphabet, KMP should be newer than KL2.

Anyone know which is truly newer and which I should go for? I am leaning towards KL2 since Kies was going to give me that one anyway.

Here is the list with latest stock firmwares, version depends on you're region. Canada is the second in the list..

ive been rooted for a long time now, i have a Moto Attrix 2. recently i did the updated to the 2.3.6 but before i did, i went ahead and did the perminent root method. this helped me keep root. now i want to jump into Roms. i'm not new to this. i had a Droid X proir to the Attrix. so i kinda know my way around. sorta..aha, ive read the process of the rom i want to install on to my phone which is supercharge Rom
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
So do you have a question, I couldn't tell from your post :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Droid_Boi86:
awe man, i'm sorry about that.

my question...actually the question is about the process needed to be taken. i read thru the steps to flash supercharge rom V5 but, i have no clue to where start from since i have not flash a rom on this device.? so i'm startin off from scretch i'm sorry about that, i shoulda proof read that..lol, before i posted.
[Motorola Atrix 2] eL_MeXiCaNo:
Step 1)Install CW recovery from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346977

Step 2) Run it and reboot into recovery

Step 3) MAKE A BACKUP! I repeat MAKE A BACKUP! this is important in case something goes wrong while flashing a new rom you can flash your backup and return your phone to normal.

Once you have learned to do that you can now start flashing roms. Just download the roms and follow the directions in the roms. ALL ROMS REQUIRE CW Recovery to install so you'll get used to it. I just wanted u to follow those 3 steps before you start flashing roms. People forget to make backups and they end up losing all their info.

Read the BEGINNERS GUIDE it has all the info you could ever need.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Droid_Boi86:
thanks bro, i got that part down, ive been rollin around with a back up for weeks now ..

oh yea and the other thing, when i went and did the forever root before the OTA update, the one thing that didn't update was the baseband.
[Motorola Atrix 2] eL_MeXiCaNo:
Dont worry about ever doing the forever root there's a root method for 2.3.6

Before flashing any rom I suggest you flash the 2.3.5 FXZ and update to 2.3.6 and then root it. This way you start from a fresh base and don't have any random bugs that would take a long time to hunt down and fix due to coming from a non-stock rom.
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
Ask away. What questions do you have? I recommend installing CWM on Recovery zip (and download the remove script while your at it you might want that). Revoke root rights to Bootstrap after installing the on boot zip. It takes one cycled reboot for the script to take effect. Make sure it works before installing any ROMs. Read the Read Me file for supercharged before installing. That's a few tips from me. Oh, if you have a windows based PC install and know how to use RSD lite and the fxz file in case of a disaster. In other words incase you can't recover from some unforeseen event using your phone and CWM Recovery alone. Make sure your battery is fully charged before installing a new ROM. Off the top of my head those tips come to mind.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rob219:
whats the reason for denying bootstrap su? ive seen this before and im a 3year android user/flasher and ive yet to deny my bootstrap su after installing anything. so, just wondering why.
[Motorola Atrix 2] eL_MeXiCaNo:
Because if you dont deny bootstrap SU after FLASHING CWM ON STARTUP zip then you will not get CWM everytime you boot up, it's a bug. So if you want CWM everytime you boot your phone you have to deny bootstrap SU. Other than that IDK the exact technical details on why it does this, it just does.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Droid_Boi86:
thanks alot man, as far as the RSD lite goes i kno my way aroung that. so i should be good. but as for the first thing you suggested. about the CVM on Recovery Zip? i wanna learn how to do that, meaning install CVM properly. if you could explain or shot me a link to where i read up on it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Sorry KEB - not to step on your toes or anything, but...

Get and install the A2 Bootstrap from here.

You can now boot into "Recovery" mode through the Bootstrap app. You can test it first or you can just go and get the CWM on Boot zip files here. Download the two zip attachments in the first post to your sdcard.

Then open the A2 Bootstapper app - click the top button, then ok, then the 2nd button.. and viola! It will boot into recovery.

Then wipe your cache partition, and dalvik cache, and install zip from sdcard. "...Global..." zip makes it boot into recovery every time you reboot, and the "..Remove.." zip removes it.

Good luck. Happy reading!:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Droid_Boi86:
thanks for that good explaination on that. now i gotta figure out why my laptop isn't seeing my phone...=/
[Motorola Atrix 2] thethird84:
Make sure you have the drivers downloaded for the Atrix 2. :-)
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
By "seeing your phone," do you mean ADB-wise? Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging (enable)
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
PM me if you need any help. I have Supercharged V5 update 2 running and I love it. there are some things you need to do to make sure it works right though.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
Hi guys

I've just downloaded stock LP4 rom but it's only 1 file.

I9100XWLP4_I9100OPSLP4_I9100XXLPS_HOME.tar.md5

Changing from GB to ICS, I need to update bootloader, so in Odin, do I need to check update bootloader when I have only the above file or do I need another file for bootloader... OR this only 1 file will do the job and I don't have to check update bootloader?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LNJ:
It would most likely update bootloader automatically. If you don't want to update the bootloader, download one of Wanam's odexed or deodexed stock roms. You can just flash it in CWM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CanadaJim:
Agree with Elisha - you don't have to upgrade the bootloader in most cases but I'd advise paying very close attention to the ROM instructions - it probably says something there about exactly what to do.

What ROM are you installing, and what are you coming from?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
I'm thinking about Sensation 3.3 by Crysis or Hydrogen rom.

I'm coming from MIUI GB 2.3.7
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajee11:
No need to update bootloader for ICS in the majority of ROMS

Highly recommended HyDrOG3N-ICS.. Stable, Fast and lots of customization. Flash Siyah Kernel ICS as well. Best combo you'll find out there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
The MD5 file package contains everything including bootloader, this you can watch on the ODIN while flash process, which start from bootloader if I am correct...

While moving from GB to ICS, if the bootloader update is a must, it whould have listed by every devs at the top of evrey ICS custom ROM installation manual, that you have to update Bootloader or to falsh a stock ICS Rom before flashing this ROM.....no where it is found.....so my conclusion is it is not a must, please correct me if I am wrong....

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajee11:
You're right ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
Updating bootloader is not necessary, even on cm9 as no bugs have been found
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
i found its better to have ICS bootloader for one reason only , triangle away :)

plus only CM9 requires a specific ICS bootloader, it will work on GB loaders just fine but if you have a newest ICS loader, only than you need to downgrade and that is posted in that thread and that loader is available easy.

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

just to let you know incase you dont know MD5 is a checksum / file verification. tar is a package :)

intratech merged that so one dont have to test everytime if he got curropted file.

odin auto checks it and let you know if you failed MD5 check.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
Thanks my friend....I know this.... I just used the extention of the file name which quoted by the OP and for him to understand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
Ok, so I've done as suggested and flashed stock ICS and then Hydrogen

I can't understand why I can't save images on my EXT-SDCARD.. :D

but mostly.... which kernel should I choose?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajee11:
Siyah Kernel v3.0.1 Flash with CWM, then wipe cache+dalvik+ (optionally: fix permissions)

Download Extweaks from Play Store to adjust kernel values
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruzantis:
Stock or ICS Bootloader????

Ok now the final question would be: What exactly is the benefit of the ICS Bootloader over the Stock Bootloader on the SGSII? also would like to mention that even if the wiki states that on CM9 :

"You don't need to. There are currently no reports of issues having not flashed the bootloader. However, if you flash the ICS bootloaders, you can't reset the download count with a JIG any more."

There needs to be a reason why they mention on the instructions on how to install the CM9 ROM the following:

" - Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH: Download (flash as PDA with odin or extract and $ sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin)"

Even if there is no visual difference as confirmed by previous posts there needs to be a difference between stock and ICS bootloader otherwise it would be pointeless to even mention it exists.

Right now my SGSII was rooted while being on stock GB 2.3.4, then installed the RR 1.9.1 up to 2.6.1. Now decided to give CM9 a try but found on the instructions the ICS bootloader thing and now I am confused why would I keep the stock bootloader? or why should I move on to ICS bootloader?.Does the bootloader affects battery performance in any way?

Once JB arrives should the bootloader need to be updated or will the stock bootloader still work?

PD: using the USB jib I took the yellow triangle away, would it return if the ICS bootloader is flashed?

Too many questions, It will be greatly appreciated if someone takes the time to answer them.

Thanks in advance,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruzantis:
anyone knows?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
usb jig only clears the triangle and the counter in old gb bootloader

and bootloader got nothin to do with battery life

flashing the bootloader will not increase the binary count... but after flashing custom rom obviously the kernel will not b stock so the yellow triangle wud appear

u can use triangle away app by chainfire it helps u clear the yellow triangle and the binary count in a click

..

and regardin jelly bean ... will see when it arrives .. for now ics bootloader will work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruzantis:
still i don't see the benefit of flashing the ICS bootloader. but thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. now I know that the yellow triangle will appear with the ICS bootloader.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
flashin bootloaderwont show a yellow triangle nor will increase the binary count

nd will a windsows 98 bootloader work for win7 ...

the ans is NO

similar way ics needs an ics bootloader
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruzantis:
I installed the CM9 with the GB bootloader it is working as usual. Still there seems no benefit on the ICS bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sarahbear65:
Hello everyone,

As this is my first post I would like to take a quick moment to say thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide; and even though I just finally registered today, I have been using the information on your site for a the past few years! And now that I've said my sincere and heartfelt thanks....

Please help me with this ASAP if possible!!!! :confused:

Current Issues:

Last Thursday when I woke up my 4g and 3g signal were very poor so I ran updates on my phone. PRL and profile both said they updated. However, when I went to send a text I instantly got the "text message not sent" error. I also discovered right after this "update" that my hot spot was not working and I only had 1 signal bar in 4g, nothing in 3g.

Next I did all the battery removal/re-set "tricks." After that the hot spot works and 3g and 4g signal strengths are a little bit better, but I still cannot send or receive MMS nor have I received one voicemail notification. When I go to Sprint Zone app under 'My Device' here is what it says:

My Connections

SMS failed. Select update profile which may solve the problem

Update Profile

A profile update is available, update now to ensure full access to the network and data services.

Coverage Update

A coverage update (PRL) is available, update now to maximize your coverage area.

I've ran the updates several times, most of the time it says the updates were successful. However, the update notifications are still present, service is still super choppy, and still no MMS/voicemail.

Did some troubleshooting with Sprint "advanced" tech support...what a joke. They have no idea what I'm talking about and have given me the run-around. I can provide more info as needed. I'm finally in panic mode because I own my own company and am losing a lot of communications with clients due to these messaging issues.

Willing to donate $ to anyone that can help me get this phone working (I have a feeling a root may help/be necessary but don't want to screw the phone up more)

Background

-

I am currently using a Motorola Photon 4g, which I purchased from a Sprint Store in January, 2012. I have rooted each of my 4 previous devices, however have not yet rooted the MoPho because I haven't really liked enough about it to even want to "tinker" with it. I have performed updates regularly, and in my apartment I get a decent 4g signal...however in certain areas of my house I do not get incoming calls or texts. I've also had several instances in which I would be in the middle of a MMS conversation and I would stop receiving texts; during which time I would then power my phone off and back on and upon restart would get an influx of text messages that had not previously been delivered. Usually updating Profile and PRL help a little for a short amount of time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
First of all, welcome to the forums!

As for your text messages suddenly stopping that happens to me relatively often when in really spotty service and if I reboot ill usually get them in a wave. I would personally call Sprint and try to get them to send you an Airave, they've done it many times when customers have spotty service and complain. Often times its free of charge too. This will plug into your router and your phone will effectively run through your home Internet, at full 3g both voice and data. I have an older 1x version and it lights up my house pretty good and very rarely have any dropped calls. Have you taken the device away from your home out somewhere you know has good service? If not id try that, it may not be your device but the tower thats near your house thats having issues. If you call up Sprint tech support they can tell you if tower nearest you is *supposedly* up and running perfect or if its having any issues. I don't know how attached you are to the apps/data on your phone but personally I would consider either a full factory reset first and if that doesn't help SBF back to stock. AFAIK there arent any good backup apps that done require having root access so i'm not sure if you'd want to go through all that to get all your stuff back after you wipe it. And there is no guarantee that this would resolve the issue, just what I personally would try if I were in your shoes because I have a hunch that it would help out. Before doing anything else though I would try to determine if its your actual phone or the network, if it works well elsewhere then its just Sprints wonderful network..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luuthian:
Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with portable battery packs. I don't mean extended batteries either. I mean the universal usb charger kind that packs several thousand mAh.

I'm looking to get one for a nine hour flight, and I want to know what is a good brand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trainerKEN:
I can't answer your question, but a lot of planes have a USB/charging input now. I know when I fly Air Canada, they have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Dante=-:
I have had an Energizer XP18000 for about 3 months now and it has surpassed my expectations.

It holds 18000 mAh of power and will charge my Gnex and my Xoom at the same time (need to order a special tip for the Xoom/non standard device). I use it for long train rides to keep my phone topped up.

When watching HD video over 4G my battery level will drop about 1-2% every half hour, so it is not charging as fast as the wall charger, but it is enough to keep you from having a dead battery when you get to your destination. With my usage I can go 3 to 4 days and never need to look at a wall outlet.

The size is about as big as a external hard drive. There is also a wall charger that has a good size power brick in the middle of it. You can remove it when you don't need the wall charger, but I keep everything in one small bag so all I have to do is set it down next to an outlet and top up the external battery, then fold the cord into the bag and pull out what ever cord I need when I am on the move. It works just fine with the original Samsung usb charging cable.

I picked mine up from Amazon but you might be able to find a better deal if you look hard enough. They make a smaller model too that is only 8000 mAh.

I always keep it in my bag and it works so well for me that I don't even need the extended battery and leave 4G on all the time.

http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/us/products/xp18000/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luuthian:
Beautiful. Thanks Dante. And yeah, I heard some planes have USB chargers now. Unfortunately I'm not flying with them. I live near YVR, but Air Canada is having a bunch of problems with their workers right now. Last thing I need is flight delays or bad service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protonus:
I did a ton of research before buying mine. I wanted a pocket sized one, that had large capacity (enough to fully charge the phone twice), and could charge a device at a full 1 amp. After much research, I bought the original version of this one:

http://www.newtrent.com/store/iphone-external-battery/iphone-battery-imp50d.html

Mine has less markings and I believe both ports on mine are 1 amp, where as the new one has one 500mA and one 1A port. Mine was also like $55, this one is on sale for barely over $40, an even better deal.

It is very powerful - 5,000 mAh will charge the phone 3+ times - much bigger than other "pocket batteries", fits in a pocket nicely (I wear cargo pants) because it's skinny, like a deck of cards. Fairly light too. Only complaint is that I bought it before MicroUSB became the new standard, so it charges with miniUSB instead.

I carry a retractable mini-usb cable, and a retractable microUSB cable, in an altoids tin, in in my pocket with it. Works great, can charge my friends phones at the same time as me. Had it for 2 years, still going strong!

There are newer designs they have now too if you look at their website.

It does take a long while to charge - 8 hours to charge fully or so if you charge off a 500mAh USB port, because it's a huge battery! a lot less maybe 4 hours if you charge off a high speed 1A charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
i was looking at this one http://www.amazon.ca/Anker-8400mAh-...UTF8&coliid=I3IVVC4G6YETK&colid=1ILTNQ88L4FE5

it has a 2amp 5v port, this can charge a transformer prime with the screen off.
