Dear all,

Android open source gives us a different way we were using computing in our life.

Recently I found Google has a version which running on x86 machine. I have used froyo, but I checked ICS flavors of android on my netbook, I simply excited. It gives everything good without any bug except it has no sound.

Is there anyone who already sort out the issue.

Details here -

Issue : Sound not working

OS : Android 4.0 ICS (x86)

Device : Lenovo S 10-3

Hope i get into the right place.

[General Questions and Answers] TheOne181:
Hi, I have an Asus transformer TF101, I used to have it rooted with CWM on android 3.2. So now that ICS was released for this tablet i wanted it. I knew i couldn't update with CWM.. So i read a tutorial on how to install a OS update from CWM then after, install something which would get rid of CWM. This would fine and i had the first 4.0.3 installed on my transformer successfully with no CWM (I tried getting into it to test but it wouldn't). Now it's been a bit of time, I've seen that asus have released a few new updates for my tablet. Now when i seach for updates on my tablet it says none are available.. So i thought I'd try and download from the website and put onto my SD card and hope that my tablet comes up with the little explanation mark to update.. But nothing. I tryed the recovery boot with the new OS on the SD card but just had the little green robot lay down looking broken. I'm not sure what to do now.. Should i re root it and then get CWM to update or is there something up with my tablet?

Thanks for reading.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I've never really saw a Nexus S totally bricked by software. It's often a combo of small user errors and small software bugs.

There is a bug with the SLCD version of the Nexus S where the backlight doesn't come on and thus it looks like it doesn't work but the softkeys light up. However, if you take a flashlight to the screen and look at an angle, you will see what's being displayed.

Also, you do not need to use an old version of CWM specifically.

Are you able to hold vol + and power to get into bootloader? If not, pull the battery out for at least 10 minutes, then put it back in and try again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I know about that bug where the backlight doesn't work, and that's how I managed to unlock the bootloader eventually.

My phone is as dead as a brick. The resurrector doesn't work anymore, so I can't get into bootloader. I can't get into download mode, I can't get into anything.

I know you don't really need to use an old version of CWM, but it got me into recovery. Unfortunately, after I shut down my device, I can't do anything anymore... I guess the resurrector doesn't work because recovery is now on the boot partition?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
If the phone doesn't even power on AT ALL (not even a split second) when you press the power button i'd look into a hardware problem more than a software problem. You can get into the bootload using VOL+ and power usually, not only using the ressurector.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Well, than that hardware problem occured when I pulled out the battery after my screen freezed...

But if it really is a hardware problem, isn't it strange that I was able to get it into download mode, and that I got it to communicate with my computer using fastboot? I even got it into recovery mode for a brief moment!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
It is very weird indeed. If I had to pick something hardware related, I'd say your battery died. Just a guts feeling, and it goes with the quick discharge scenario...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I have used other batteries (luckily I have friends with a Nexus S), but that doesn't change anything.

The big question is, how can I get into download mode again? The resurrector worked at first, but when I flashed CWM to the boot partition and rebooted after that, I can't get any signs of life out of my Nexus S. Resurrector doesn't work anymore, nothing...

The weird thing is, the moment I used the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command, windows stopped recognising the device. But according to the soft keys, it did go from download mode into recovery mode. I still didn't see anything, but I guess that's because the SLCD bug.

I guess I should not have had rebooted when I was finally in recovery...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Hmmm... someone might have an idea. I still find it extremely strange it doesn't power on at all. Were you aware of any power button problem with your Nexus? Had to double click the power button to wake it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Nope, no problem at all.

The only way I could get some life out of it, was by using the resurrector tool. But now even that isn't possible anymore...

Is it actually possible to really perma-brick a Nexus S? Or are people just saying that because they lack the knowledge to unbrick it. I'm pretty sure it can't be a hardware problem. It is the software that is preventing it to boot up. That's what a brick is, right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
WOW, GOOD NEWS!

After a few (totally random) tries, I managed to resurrect my phone again! I am now in the download mode. From here I can use fastboot boot recovery.img. I still don't have a screen though...

When I get into recovery (without screen), what should I do then? Because previous time, windows stopped recognizing my phone... Should I push an OTA to my Nexus S BEFORE I use fastboot boot recovery.img? And if so, how? And if I do so, how on earth am I going to manage to install that zip without a screen? There are a lot of files on my sd card... An option would be to wipe them all, if that's possible. Another option would be to give it something starting with a 1 or an A so that it comes up on top of the list.

The problem is that I can't flash anything because of that i9020XXXXX radio version.... Is there any way I can flash another radio? Just flashing with fastboot doesn't work because of that XXXXX version...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Got it into recovery again! Windows recognized USB mass storage for a second, but not anymore.

Using a flashlight I can see that there is SOMETHING on the screen, but when I press the volume buttons to scroll nothing changes...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Another breakthrough! I installed ADB drivers, and now I got ADB working!

Can you control CWM recovery from the computer, using ADB? Because now all I have to do is flash an OTA, but I can't see anything, not even with a flashlight...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
I'm not real good at the technical stuff, but it seems like you should be able to put one of the ota's on your computer and when you connect the phone, it should take you through a flash sequence. Hopefully someone above my pay grade will jump in here and help.

Hang in there, we're all pulling for you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I'm not really good at the technical stuff either. I'm like this dog:

But I can learn quickly. I know how to push a file to the SD Card using ADB. I also now how to wipe all user data using fastboot. Combining that, I have a SD Card with only 1 file: the OTA I want to flash. That should make thinks a lot easier since I can't see a damn on my screen.

My problem wouldn't even that bad, if it weren't three problems combined. Normally when people unbrick their phone with the resurrector, they can flash a bootloader.img. But I can't, because of that i9020XXXXX baseband version. I tried to flash another radio.img but that doesn't work either. To top this off, my screen doesn't work. Even with a flashlight I only see that there's SOMETHING on the screen, but I don't see any changes when I press the volume buttons for example.

The problem with not seeing anything is that I don't know if what I did, worked. I can't confirm anything. Maybe when I flash the OTA it says: update failed. But I can't see that so how would I know?

That's why I was hoping for a way to not only push files to the SD Card using ADB and wipe all user data using fastboot, but also for a way to install zip from SD Card using ADB/fastboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Could this be a corrupt radio? There was a thread about the 4g radio that delves a little into what the radio actually does. I'll find it when I'm back home. Try flashing a radio through cwm if you can manage.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
You think that would work? Because I can't flash via fastboot...

Anyway, it is worth a shot. I've tried flashing several OTAs through several recoveries without much luck, but at least now I have the knowledge to go back to where I was (download mode/recovery).

I don't know anything about radios, but the XXXXX baseband version isn't good, at least that's what people say. It prevents you from flashing a bootloader.img, and also from flashing another radio.img. And maybe it was the reason that my Nexus S bricked in the first place.

By the way, thank you all for your help!

How do you cold reboot the phone directly into Clockwork recovery? IE not from selecting it from a running rom - like from a battery pull.

The EVO it was something like power and volume up if I remember right.

How do you do this?

Thanks

Volume-down and power button (simultaneously) till the screen says fastboot. Then press volume down button until you see Android Recovery. Finally press the volume-up button to select.

Volume-down to choose

Volume-up to select

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I'm hoping the discussion in this thread can inspire devs to really tweak Android.

An article I read a while back through Daring Fireball really got me thinking on how to fix the back button. This quote in particular:

http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/01/16/android-buttons

This is also a good discussion on the topic:

http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/10/2...uidelines-update-settings-navigation#98209921

This is what I've come up with:

The back button should be dimmed or not visible at all when looking at the home screen.

This should also be the case for looking at the home/main scene of an app, for this reason:

The back button should never take you out of an app to the home screen, that is what the home button is for.

Instead of using the back button to close apps, use the task switcher to swipe away and actually close unwanted apps.

I know all this is possible, I just don't know how feasible it would be. I would love to see these changes in Android, what do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
I actually use the back button to exit out of applications, this way the app get's a chance to save any information to files. if it's forced closed, these writes can sometimes get missed and cause inconsistencies in the app (or lost time if game progress is not saved).

Having it on the home screen maintains a consistent look that many people appreciate. What i find is fantastic now is how the button rotate to the right place regardless of orientation, I KNOW that if I'm in landscape, the buttons will always be on the right hand side.

The buttons also dim down to dots in some applications (not sure if it's a new API) look at the camera app to see this in action. This removes the aesthetics of the bright buttons while leaving the functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
I guess you can argue about anything these days. The software keys will work better as apps are updated to 4.0 API, but to get full use out of them use AOKP, or just remove them altogether and use LMT's Pie menu. Problem fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
If the user accidentally opens an app, it wants to go back to where he was before. If the user opens Maps from the Gmail app, and the user wants to go back, the only way to do so is by pressing the back key.

If the user is in the App Drawer, accidentally opens an app, it wants to go back to the app drawer, and not back to the home screens.

The home button doesn't close the app, but tells the app that it's moved to the background.

The back button closes the app, tells the app it is being destroyed and lots of memory will be given back to the system.

With Android, it's possible to open app X within app Y(if the developer of app Y wants the user to do so). It wouldn't make any sense if the user had no way to undo that operation.

In my opinion, the navigation buttons are used properly.

EDIT:

The Android Documentation states that developers should save their data when onStop is called. onStop will be called both when user presses the home button, and when users presses the back button. So in theory, both buttons should work fine.

Yes, that's an API. It's possible to dim those buttons in some apps(like gallery/camera), and it's also possible to hide those buttons. The buttons will re-appear as soon as the user touches the screen. Look at the YouTube app if you want to see the buttons disappear and re-appear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
I agree. I dont think it is "broken". It works well for me and I hate using my friend iPhone because it doesnt have a back button and I have to find it on screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I'm not talking about force closing apps, just regularly exiting apps only when they are swiped away from the multitask menu. I agree with everything else.

I'm not talking about removing the icons altogether, just make them contextually aware.

This isn't the case anymore with ICS. I think the multitask button should be utilized instead. Granted, it's one extra tap, but I think it's more consistent.

I don't think that should happen. I realize that I'm arguing against actions Android has done since it's inception, but I believe that they are wrong now.

The home button shouldn't close an app, they should never have to unless the system decide when it needs to close an app, or the user does by swiping it away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
The same is for me as well, muscle memory is much faster. I just think the potential of the virtual back button is not even being scratched at yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
In Android, there are 2 ways of launching an app:

- As a new Task, this will add the app to the multitask interface

- As the same task, the new app won't be added to the multitask interface.

If you would like to see the second one, go to the Play Store, and click on the Email button. The Gmail apps opens. Now press the home button and open the multitask interface. You won't see the Gmail app, only the Play Store. If you open the Play Store, it'll open the gmail app, since it's the same task.

Press the home button again, and open the Gmail app(from the app drawer). The draft of the Play Store email won't show up, but it'll open the Gmail task that you opened before(for example, your latest received mail).

So, the multitask button won't work properly when the second way of launching an app is used.

In some cases, the back button would fit better. When you're in the Paypal app and want to close it, it's much easier to press the back button(then the user logs out), instead of pressing home, multitask button, and swipe away(thats 3 times as much time/energy).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I actually agree with this. The back button would be used to to back into the store. GMail was never really opened though so it wouldn't have to be closed.

In this case, I believe it is up to PayPal to have a Log Off button on the main scene of their app, and possibly in a context menu in other scenes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
although I get your main premise, I think it might be extra confusing when you have buttons just "randomly" disappearing and reappearing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
Maybe not disappear, dim would work
