xlm13x,

My phone is not working and saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies". how can I re-download stock ROM?

mj.vikram,

i follows the exact same stpes from the same thread. still no luck.

can I claim the warranty as I just want to flash original rom again to see if restart problem resolves and it got failed?

Is there any limit to flash a firmware? while searching on google got some page saying there is some taint-firmware counter? what is that?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Dude....don't try to turn your device on i regular way, but press combination: volume down+home+power simultaneously. You must be able to enter the DM! (U can try removing battery and putting it back)

Recovery mode in Kies has nothing to do with rm on your phone. I really don't think Kies will help you.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
There is no issue in going to download mode for me. Just its not able to keep on itself till the firmware writing completes. So now I think it looks h/w issue to me. What worries me is how to get it in normal working phone and give it to service center.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Ok now i got your point, phone is coming out of Download mode while flashing the stock ROM.... am i correct.

if this is the problem then there may be some issue with H/W..... if you haven't rooted your mobile and you are on stock ROM then take it to Service center...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Have u flashed any custom rom on ur phone? Is ur download counter has been increased?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Just take it to the service center. They won't be able to see if you rooted your device or not anyway in such case IMO. The phone is unable to boot, and reflash either. IT's clearly a HW issue. We have no power to affect download or recovery mode to be honest. I really don't think there's anybody on this forum that can help you fix DM.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
what happens if sufficient battery is not there will it take power from system.

eg: if battery is only 5 % and we connected it in DM what will happen, will it continue or it will be switched off.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
Thanks all for the replies. Let me confirm you all once again. My phone was using stock ROM. Never rooted it(not even knowing how to do that) Just frustrating restart issue and some google search conlcuded as I should flash stock rom.

so, I am doing that I even got success in flashing my phone after some attempts. Then for two days it worked fine. But again same problem started and I become impatient and tried to flash stock rom and it failed. Now my phone is nowhere so I can't check anything on my phone. How can I know download counter in this situation?

I heard service center need phone with stock rom installed and working and then they will take warranty claim. Is that the case?

Worried what to do with my phone now? it looks h/w issue to me also now that is why once flashing starts after some time it fails before reaching 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
no worries just take it to Samsung Service Center and tell them that your phone got switched off and its not starting, they will ask you to provide invoice xerox copy and flash the Firmware and give it back to you...

as you haven't tried rooting or installing Custom FW, so no need think of the Download counter.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
toberabl century

Yes. I now understand what download counter is and my phone is already showing it as "NO" so its not custom ROM flashed. Hope this will be enough for me to claim warraty for my non-OS phone.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Give ur phone in service they will fix it for free, u havent rooted ur phone and also ur counter is zero so no need to worry about warranty void, do update what happens
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
Dude, dont tell them anything about you trying to flash stock fw. Just tell that the phone is not staying on. That should do.

It definitely seems like a hardware issue to me, so probably even they wont be able to flash a firmware and so they will start working on the hardware aspect. Just dont let them know that u tried reflashing the firmware or such coz they might try to void the warranty saying you fiddled with the phone.

Keep us updated.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ishafiq:
I had exactly same problem as you, random restarts. It will become more frequent and troublesome if you keep the problem.

Give it to service center as your counter is 0. Your phone surely needs main board change.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
Finally my phone is on stock rom now. Problem identified as my Desktop is having some issues. I even got some reference to remove un-necessary usb devices to get maximum power to phone but all that didn't work for me. Just now got friend's desktop and used the same process to flash stock rom and it worked well in first attempt.

I have working phone now but I will give it to service center to resolve restart issue.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
Did you close all Kies processes before proceeding ?

Defy-ing all limits.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
yes. That was the last attempt on my desktop by killing maximum background running app services. But still it failed.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
I gave my phone to service center. they said they will flash software. I said ok. Next day I got phone and I tested in front of them and it still showed restart issue. Now they said they will replace some h/w part(guess motherboard) and will inform me.

Had a good news when I woke up today. Twitter mobile site fixed and rendering is good now but I still can't log into the official app or any third party app for twitter. What might be the problem then since I know it's not from my end after various troubleshoots and hard resets. Always getting this authorization error and username password error. My account works fine on all other devices and the problem is not faced by me alone, having friends with same problem. Has twitter cut services for windows phone users in my country? Learnt they made some changes in their web settings, why don't they check if it can be the unknown cause if our problem. My phone is becoming useless when it comes to twitter.

Is there any application which turn off preloading application something like "msconfig in windows"

i have install some appplication which are starting with the system is there any way to turn off ??

that should improve the battery life as well !

I find out while every time when i click on "task manger" it closing 42/50 apps even when close down they back live even a games in less that 20 sec !!

while i not using task manger for a while 128mb left while i close down it come back to 400/480mbs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BXM500:
I usually use Super Manager paid app for this. It has quite nice startup manager, needs root obviously. Stops apps from starting up at startup, though due to Android's architecture some apps still open up in background later, but it's not a big deal for me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
There is also autorun manger app.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
I use Gemini to block the auto-start.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sorel7:
I'm only able to block apps to run at phone's startup, but I'm not able to configure autorun events. Can you do that whit Gemini? How?

[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
Right now the 1080p video bitrate is bordering max 10mbps, which is quite low and shows artifacts / blur in fast moving scenes. The 720p video is even worse @ around 5-6mbps.

A workaround now is to use the ICS Camera+ application and tick 2x bitrate. However watch the auto whitebalance settings since they give a purple hue. Set it manually.

This is a hopeful request to the OneX devs & modders to do their magic and squeeze more mbps as well as maybe lock a minimum FPS value so it doesn't drop to hell in low light and the expense of exposure.

i'd be happy with 720p @ 15mbps and 1080p@20mbps, both at solid 30FPS :)

thanks in advance and vote for the feature!
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
media_profiles.xml and Camera.apk are the place to look for improvements.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
community would be grateful if you can help work this out!
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Camera ICS + features like background and face effects don't work for me :( shame too, they look like fun!
[HTC One X] LTavaress:
they should also tweak the camera in order for it not to compress the pictures so much! HTC's stock camera app produces pictures that are twice smaller than pictures taken with other camera apps (or with a common 8mp camera) with no effects nor anything
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
i tried playing around with the XML to no avail...they key is in the APK.

bumping this hopefully someone can take some time to figure it out....
[HTC One X] treebill:
Hox has a image processor so I'm guessing that will need to be flashed, or bypassed.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Not only video, but still quality too.

In order of priority:

* Fix the frame rate issues first (dropped frames are VERY distracting; currently video stutters badly)

* Provide adjustable image compression levels including a very high quality mode. (Raw would be even better, but I doubt they'd consider that.)

* Provide adjustable video compression levels including a very high quality mode.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
don't think that's the case because we have seen 2 alternatives that increase bitrate just with a modified APK:

- ICS Camera - still some quality (purple hues) issues in resulting videos + cannot select 1080p

- NoDo-GT's beta which is currently frozen with no download available
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
seems the limitation is in the recording profile used: Baseline@4.0 / 10mbps

the SGS3 (and the SGS2 for that matter) uses High@4.0 / 17mbps.

Source:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25693754&postcount=108

[8] Video: SGS3 is clear winner here. HOX does not record in High profile. It records at mere 10 Mbps Baseline whereas SGS3 does High Profile recording at 17 Mbps.

Maybe now with the kernel source released someone can work out some magic.....fingers crossed.
[HTC One X] Albert Poon:
While compression is too high and bitrate is too low, there also one very important issue - fps. I tested again and again and again, the stock camera can only take video up to 23-24 fps, while using camera ics I can do 29-30 fps. This proves that the low fps of the stock camera is not limited by hardware. An update to the camera is needed...
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Far more important than the maximum FPS is that it's steady. If there are no frames dropped, your eyes very quickly get used to a lower frame rate. If it keeps spiking up and down between high frame rate and loads of dropped frames, though, that's impossible to get used to.
[HTC One X] zer151:
Check my vedio

The quality is very bad!!!

Recorded by htc one x firmware 1.28

Not only the fram rate and image quality also the sound is very aweful.

You can notice the camera are always re focus and blur.

Watch this you will get my point

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yst4ImxjRzI
[HTC One X] Albert Poon:
But when you do an comparasion between 24 and 30 using the SAME H1X, you can see the different...
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
I didn't say you couldn't see the difference between at all, just that it wasn't as damaging to frame rate perception as all the dropped frames, which are a far more important issue.
[HTC One X] holygeesus:
The mixture of low light and alternating colours would tax any camera let alone a phone camera. Used in decent lighting the quality is decent enough and doesn't lose focus like that
[HTC One X] Albert Poon:
Ok, let me rephrase... I would expect such hardware to be able to do 30fps constantly :p

How long does your battery normally last?

Does it drain the battery quickly while in sleep mode?

Hi,

I recently got my Teclast P85, and managed to soft-brick it after installing busybox 1.19 with the installer (previously had bb 1.18.x). It starts booting, shows the teclast boot logo, and hangs there.

I'm unable to reflash using livesuite because my PC no longer recognizes the tablet for reflashing (I've previously reflashed it few times, to ICS, and back to GB, so I think it's not technicalities). Previously, when I held the menu button, inserted the USB plug and pressed the power button few times -> live suite would run and offer to reflash. It no longer does it (I hear windows "ding" when I plug the USB in, but I no longer hear the 2nd one when doing this procedure).

I've read about reflashing via the OTG port, but wasn't able to find any further info about it.

I'd appreciate any pointers or suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Well, I managed to reflash it afterall. I used the same procedure as described above, just tried few more times, and finally it worked...

My wife is still on her Captivate and I don't think she'll upgrade without it since she often leaves her phone in another room and just like to be able to look at it walking by to see if she's missed something.

Of course I think we all / most of us understand devs should work on what they want but if a bounty helps give them a reason to work on something I would think that is only a good thing for everyone.

and now when i connect my phone with kies it has the same problem "your firmware cannot be upgrade by kies"

Can you plz help me that what should i do to get the official version of the gingerbread. Thank u very much in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Go to sammobile.com and make a login account (its free). From there click on firmware and then click on smartphone and then android and so on. Then find the firmware you want. There are also pdf guides that you can follow to tell you exactly what to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naria9:
Yep, you'll need to manually flash stock before Kies will recognize your phone and it's firmware version properly and agree to upgrade it for you.

With stock on, you can still be rooted and do all fancy things there-in, but the OTA upgrades can and usually do break it.

There are also ROMs that are pre-modded/rooted versions of the official firmware that might interest you, and save you some time.
